Injuries are the biggest obstacle on the road to greatness for basketball players, and Da Yao is one of many talented players who end up falling prematurely due to injuries.

In that era when there was no body hair whistle and the interior line was full of confrontation, the center was the most injury-prone position on the court, and in order to fight against the big players in the league, Da Yao after gaining muscle was plagued by injuries.

In 2005, Da Yao underwent toe surgery.

After suffering a tibia injury in 2006, Da Yao played just 48 regular season games this season.

In the 2007~08 season, Da Yao was diagnosed with a scaphoid fracture and needed to rest for 4 months after surgery.

In the 2008~2009 season, Da Yao was suspended due to a foot injury.

After that, it's the second-round playoffs that fans are familiar with.

On November 11, 2010, Da Yao suffered a third stress fracture of his left ankle, and after being diagnosed by the Rockets team doctor in December, he was reimbursed for this season...

After Li Ze came to Houston with the team, he naturally had to visit Da Yao, who had been depressed after the season was reimbursed, and repeated ankle injuries almost completely destroyed their careers.

Houston, as the space city of Amerika, has a very developed medical level, and for Da Yao's injury, the doctor also gave his own advice: three consecutive stress fractures, maybe you can say goodbye to basketball...

In the mansion built by the lake, Da Yao entertained Li Ze at home, compared with the injury just now, Da Yao's mentality is obviously much better, and the sense of frustration gradually disappears, seeing that his ankles are still tightly wrapped, Li Ze can only comfort:

"Brother Yao is recuperating well, and the contract year is not a problem! You may also be able to lose weight while you are recuperating from an injury, which can help prolong your career! ”

When Da Yao heard Li Ze's words, he just shook his head helplessly, and then said with a calm expression:

"The doctor told me that if I continue to choose to play basketball, there is a high probability that I will directly become a cripple, three stress fractures in a row, and my ankle can no longer support high-intensity basketball, and seriously, I am already thinking about retirement."

Hearing such words, Li Ze was also a little speechless, he became lame in order to play basketball? Normal adults would not make such a choice, Da Yao saw that Li Ze was a little silent, and said with a smile:

"Don't comfort me, this is a medical problem, everything has to be scientific, it has nothing to do with mental quality, I also said to the UAE, if you want to stay in the NBA, staying healthy is sometimes the most important thing, some small injuries will affect your competitive state."

"I'm glad to see that you and the UAE haven't had any injury problems lately, there's nothing bad about the UAE's style of play, it's different now than it was in 2000, the perimeter players have more freedom, the projection is very important, you must know that."

Li Ze nodded in agreement immediately when he heard this, and then said:

"Maybe in order to make the game look better and attract more spectators, the referee strictly enforced the No Hand Check above the free throw line this year, and compared to last season, I was able to shoot 50% from the field, thanks to this blowing standard."

Da Yao adjusted his sitting posture on the sofa and said with a sigh:

"So every era has a different way of playing, it used to be the world of traditional centers, and in that kind of high-confrontation game, I had to make my body stronger, and if I had been drafted this year, maybe my career would have been completely different."

"This year's Asian Championships is related to the quota of the Olympic Games, and the national team is right to choose to recruit you, but I will help you communicate with the Basketball Association for some Asian events in the future, and there is no need for you to return to China for Asian events without involving the Olympic Games."

"According to the development trend of the Thunder team, it is estimated that you will have a chance to play in the Western Conference finals in the past two years, and you have to let your body rest well if there are more games, and you must pay attention to the injury, even if it is an injury with a small toe, you must pay attention to it, and strive to win a championship while the lineup is good!"

Li Ze saw Da Yao, who suddenly became a little lonely, and he felt a little bad in his heart, even if it was a stress fracture of his right foot, maybe this former little giant would continue to choose to play, but the reality was extremely cruel, Da Yao had just become a father this year, even if it was for the sake of the family, he would not risk playing.

"Of course there will be a championship, and I have prepared a lot of gifts for my little niece, and we will meet again when we return home!"

Da Yao laughed when he heard Li Ze's words, and then said with a smile:

"Don't give that kind of pure gold safety lock, maybe I've been in Amelika for a long time, I always feel a bit like the gold chain that black players like."

When Li Ze heard this, he immediately looked a little strange, he seriously suspected that Chapman was not looking for a craftsman from the Celestial Empire, and they were also safe locks, and the amount he sent was definitely enough, but the style was really powerless to complain, and the aesthetics of Amerika's side did not conform to the national conditions!

...

The attendance of the Toyota Center Arena tonight is not bad, but a large number of fans buy tickets to watch Li Ze play, and the local Houston fans are still the same, never enter early, and the front seats are a lot empty, and it is estimated that they will have to wait for two or three minutes in the first quarter to be full.

After the reimbursement of the season, the Rockets lost back-to-back games for a while, but after a period of pain, head coach Adelman led the team to a 17-21 record and is currently ranked ninth in the West, and perhaps there is still hope for the playoffs.

I have to say that the Princeton system does have dry goods, in the absence of superstars, the Rockets did not lose in a row, and Coach Adelman is a great contributor.

But tonight against the Thunder, the Rockets were a little overwhelmed from the opening, Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry on the outside were completely suppressed, and Jordan Hill on the inside was not high enough to protect the basket, and it was even protruded into a sieve by the turtle.

And Li Ze and Durant play more relaxed and happy, in the face of such a small guard, Li Ze doesn't even need too many complicated shaking, dry pull-out jump shots can solve a lot of problems, and Durant is also a shot inside and out, and his condition is so good that it is off the charts.

The first quarter of the game has been played for more than 7 minutes, the scene is a little tepid, the Thunder completely control the offensive rhythm, Kyle Lowry with Jordan Hill's cover, left hand ball acceleration breakthrough, notice Kostic choose to crouch defense, Kyle Lowry wanted to make a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

But Li Ze on the side chased the defense quickly, Kyle Lowry just dribbled back and pulled back, he felt the defensive pressure brought by Li Ze, and stopping the ball in the blocking area was obviously not a good offensive option, just wanted to distribute the ball to Aaron Brooks on the outside.

But the passing route was too obvious, and it was easily predicted by the turtle, and the ball was successfully copied directly, and then quickly pushed the transition attack, Aaron Brooks has been using his body to fight against the turtle, but the weight and muscles of the two are not at the same level, obviously such a defense cannot force the turtle to slow down.

Noticing that Li Ze behind him had rushed through the half court very quickly, the moving turtle suddenly came with a fake real pass, and threw the ball back while breaking through, and the ball arrived, after Li Ze received the ball with both hands, he quickly turned the ball in the air, and then hit a powerful windmill with his right hand!

"Boom...", the empty catch was slammed.

Aaron Brooks was very helpless after seeing Li Ze's dunk under the basket, how to defend it? Many spectators at the Toyota Center were very happy, Li Ze played more casually in the first quarter, this was the first dunk in the whole game, and it was really exciting!

Seeing Li Ze dunk the ball in, the turtle was very excited, screaming loudly and banging his chest with Li Ze in celebration, noticing that the Chinese fans in the audience were constantly waving, Li Ze hurriedly waved his hand in response, and the scene suddenly screamed again.

Coach Adelman on the sidelines was a little helpless, looked at Courtney Lee and Chase Badinger on the bench, and then looked at Patrick Patterson, and finally did not plan to change, and the replacement still could not limit Li Ze, which had been verified in the previous encounters.

Scola scored consecutive baskets in the first half of the game, and this time after the top turned, he was interfered with by Jeff Green, and the ball knocked out of the frame, and Kostic under the basket successfully protected the backcourt rebound and immediately passed the ball to the nearby Li Ze.

Noticing that the Rockets quickly retreated, Li Ze made a gesture to his teammates, and then accelerated the dribble, Kostic had just run past half court at this time, and by the way, he made a high block for Li Ze.

Kyle Lowry's defense has not dared to stick too close, taking advantage of the moment of blocking, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, and suddenly made a large back dribble, without waiting for Lowry's reaction, his left hand followed up with another extremely fast back dribble, and then the right hand accelerated the ball to break through.

Lowry's defense hurriedly slid backwards, but the moving Li Ze suddenly pulled back under his hip on the three-point line, and then quickly closed the ball, ignoring Kyle Lowry's jumping defense, leaning back slightly, and making a jump shot outside the three-point line.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

The audience at the Toyota Center Arena saw Li Ze's silky shaking and completed the three-point projection, and many fans shouted excitedly, with a large range of movements, and a little fancy to watch, coupled with Kyle Lowry's somewhat stunned expression, everyone likes to watch this scene.

Li Ze didn't celebrate too much, just smiled slightly, quickly retreated, the first quarter counted this shot just 4 times, the teammates were in good shape in this game, in order to give back to everyone's strong support in the last game, Li Ze mostly chose to give cakes to everyone after the opening.

Durant saw Li Ze's dashing goal on the side, and his heart suddenly rose with lemons, and then thought of yesterday's top ten NBA balls, Li Ze's goals accounted for 6, and his heart was sour to death, when he faced small players, he would not try those too fancy actions at all, the center of gravity was too high, and it was easy to lose the ball...

After completing this goal, Coach Brooks also directly replaced Li Ze, and there are back-to-back games with the Magic team tomorrow, and the physical fitness of the main players still needs to be saved.

In the next few minutes, the Rockets were also unable to assemble an effective counterattack, and at 24:34, the Thunder led by 10 points in the first quarter.

During the interval, Durant, who had been a little inflated recently, began to complain again:

"I've already started to test the next opponent, why does the NBA league always arrange an away game and then return home, such back-to-back games are too troublesome!"

"Actually, if you think about it, it's a good schedule, so we should relax, there's always plenty of rest after back-to-back games, and then we can go to Los Angeles for a few days early."

Li Ze didn't mind such a schedule, anyway, as long as it wasn't a continuous away game, Coach Brooks saw that his players were about to start chatting again, so he hurriedly knocked on the tactical board in his hand, and then reminded loudly:

"All right, lads! We've got three quarters to play, stay focused, the rest of the players have to be ready, I don't want to see you guys come on the court and I'm going to add to the rotation for this game! ”

As soon as the members of the atmosphere team heard Coach Brooks' words, they all immediately came to their senses, and partnered with the main players, and in most cases, they could get better data, such a colorful pie, everyone liked it very much.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Ibaka, who came off the bench, was in excellent condition, and after playing two consecutive blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Li Ze, he easily hit all the mid-range jumpers after dismantling.

When Li Ze saw this situation, he immediately came to his senses, and then played two more blocks and dismantles in the offensive round, but Ibaka still threw the ball steadily.

The head coach of Brooks on the sidelines saw Ibaka's performance and nodded with satisfaction, if Jeff Green was traded, he would be missing an outside three-point point, but Ibaka's performance in the near mid-range also gave the coaching staff hope.

The Rockets began to rotate personnel, but they were never able to catch up with the point difference, but on the Thunder team's side, under the organization of Li Ze, simple blocking and dismantling cooperation, coupled with Ibaka's sudden explosion of mid-range, played a wave of 8:2 climax.

After the game, the Thunder team became more and more courageous, the atmosphere group that came off the bench played extremely hard, and the trio played steadily, and when the game started in the fourth quarter, almost the entire quarter became garbage time, which also made the audience at the Toyota Center a little dissatisfied, and Li Ze was replaced off!

In the end, 118-102, the Thunder defeated the Rockets on the road, leading the league again with a 33-6 record.

After the game, Jeff Green was a little depressed, he got a lot of opportunities in this game, but he didn't feel good, and finally only got 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, while Ibaka shot 8 of 9, got 16 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, and then thought of the team's trade, Jeff Green was a little depressed.

Li Ze clocked in in the third quarter of this game and got a big double-double of 20 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal, while Durant showed super efficiency, also punching in the third quarter, efficiently cutting 24 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, and Turtle Turtle got 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover.

The trio played steadily, the atmosphere group was also worked, and the winning-grinning Thunder returned to Russian City overnight, where they will host the Orlando Magic tomorrow night.

On January 13, the NBA league announced the results of the third phase of voting, Li Ze led the West with 1581521 votes, and he also successfully defended the third phase of the vote king, if nothing else, the 2011 All-Star vote king should not have much suspense.

Kobe Bryant followed, followed by Dwight Howard, and LeBron James gradually reversed the reputation with the Heat's winning streak, and the number of votes came to No. 4.

Durant, who was surfing the Internet at home, saw that LeBron James had surpassed him in the number of votes, and his heart suddenly began to be unbalanced again.

Obviously, the Thunder is the first in the league, and he is currently averaging close to 27 points per game, such a performance can't even surpass LeBron James in the All-Star vote, it's outrageous!

Thinking about the fact that although he signed a big contract with Nike, the problem of signed sneakers has always made him very dissatisfied, Durant wants Li Ze's kind of woven upper, but Nike has been unable to give a positive answer, in short, he is sour again...

"Kleiman, is there an endorsement contract for clothing recently, you know, the Thunder team will definitely have no less live broadcasts in the United States in the future, we had better sign a few clothing endorsements, and I want to participate in the design myself!"

Durant was scrolling through INS at this time, and when he saw that the turtle had uploaded a bunch of pictures of strange shapes, he couldn't help but ask the agent next to him about clothing.

Kleiman was also embarrassed to tell the truth, in his opinion, this big employer is good anywhere, but his appearance and temperament are a little stretched, so after hearing Durant's inquiry, he could only answer euphemistically:

"Kevin, a lot of brand clothing doesn't like basketball players, your height is too tall, all the clothes are individually customized, which will make consumers feel a sense of distance, I actually got some food endorsement contracts, you can take a look at it when you have time."

"Hey, maybe we can create our own clothing brand in the future, I have always had a lot of inspiration, but I have never found a suitable style, the stylist is too conservative in color matching."

When Kleiman heard Durant's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, of course he knew that his employer and Li Ze were in the same modeling team, but the results were very different, and he seemed to feel that Durant was a little flustered recently, Kleiman hurriedly reminded:

"Kevin, you have to pay attention to your stats, don't forget those add-ons we signed with Nike, you have to be in the best team again this season and try to reach the Western Conference Finals, the big contract is not so easy to get, your training has been a little slacking lately."

“......”

After the results of the All-Star voting at each stage come out, it will make the hearts of the players in the league pantothenic, especially when they see the sudden rise of Li Ze, who is just 20 years old, many players have become lemon essence, 20 years old, that's it, the future is not going to heaven!

Thinking about Li Ze is still ranked No. 1 on the MVP candidate list, everyone is even more unhappy, 20-year-old MVP? I guess no one can break such a record...

Dwight Howard is one of the serious Chalemons, he has a lot of endorsement contracts with additional riders, and losing the All-Star vote king has cost him some American knives.

If it was a loss to Kobe Bryant, Howard might not be too sour, but losing to a rookie player made him very unhappy, and the old guys got in the way, so you want to pretend to be a big guy even if you are a newcomer?

So in a pre-game interview, Howard began his own sour words;

"The NBA league should probably ban celebrities from canvassing, Lee is a well-known singer himself, it's unfair to other players, we should make basketball more pure."

"Dwight, you should know that many Hollywood stars have helped Kobe Bryant canvass for votes, and Rihanna and Jay-Z have also canvassed for James, in fact, these stars are NBA fans."

"Let's talk about tonight's game, the Thunder are the first in the league right now, and this is your first meeting this season, do you have confidence in tonight's game?"

Howard was a little embarrassed to hear the reporter's prompt, so he hurriedly answered the question and changed the subject:

"Of course, there have been some changes to the team lately and I'm very happy to see Turkoglu back in the team, we're getting better and better, I'm confident of winning tonight, the stats can be a lie, I'm going to prove I'm the real MVP!"

ESPN's reporter smiled with satisfaction when he heard Howard's answer, and he could lead another wave before the game...

The Magic are currently fourth in the East with a 25-13 record starting the new season, and in December the team traded away Vince Carter, who had a stretch in last season's playoffs, to the Suns for Jason Richardson and back to Sido Turkoglou.

Coach Van Gundy actually regretted the team's previous trade, and if Turkoglou had stayed with the Magic, maybe he wouldn't have been beaten by the Celtics in last year's playoffs.

Thinking of the introduction of an outdated star in the uniform team - Gilbert Arenas, the big Van Gundy head coach was a little speechless in his heart, he always felt that the team was repeating the same mistakes, and the outdated star was really useless!

The game on the 13th was also broadcast live in the United States, ESPN also sent Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Brin and other ace combinations to commentate on the spot, Howard was hailed by fans as the league's No. 1 center, and there was still a lineup, ESPN even made a preview of the game in advance.

Ford Center Arena has been added again tonight, and Russian City fans are also looking forward to this game, Howard's popularity in the league is still very high, and watching this Superman play on the spot, this ticket will definitely not be lost!

However, after the game started, Howard completely became a supporting role, Li Ze and Durant were both in explosive condition, and scored continuously after the opening, which also made the atmosphere of the scene even more hot, too violent!

The reason why the Magic team was beaten by the Celtics last season was mainly because the outside defense was really stretched, even if Howard was strong in defense and encountered a bunch of colanders, his DPOY was useless.

Richardson and Turkoglou are not defensive stalwarts either, as are Jamil Nelson and Brandon Buss, who may not be bad at shooting offensively, but they really can't stand it on the defensive end.

Brandon Buss stood up to Durant's defense, rushed inside, and seemed to want to fight for a foul, but was rejected by the starting Ibaka hat, the Magic team hurried back to defense, and Turtle noticed that there was no opportunity to convert the offense, and immediately gave his teammates offensive gestures.

After dribbling through the half, he quickly gave the ball to Li Ze, who was on the left wing of the three-point line, and while Kostic raised the screen, Turtle also went over to feign a hand-handed pass, and then quickly ran to the bottom left corner to open up the offensive space.

At this time, Li Ze did not wait for Kostic's cover to be in place, quickly released the ball with his left hand, pulled back the ball with a cross step, quickly changed direction with his right hand under his crotch, and then took advantage of a large backdribble, Kostic just stood still, Li Ze clinged to the cover, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Howard naturally did not choose to squat to defend, at this time his defensive position was very forward, and he noticed that Li Ze seemed to want to accelerate the breakthrough, and subconsciously moved a step back.

Noticing the opponent's defensive movement, Li Ze quickly adjusted the rhythm of the dribble, dribbled quickly behind his back with his right hand, and without waiting for Howard to react, he made a quick stop jump shot at the free throw line.

"Whew...", a steady hit from mid-range.

"Kayce is very smart to play, he takes advantage of the slow pace of the center, and of course Howard is very fast compared to other big centers, but for Kayce, he can put the ball in the basket as long as he has a little space to shoot."

Jeff Van Gundy saw that Li Ze did the same and hit the shot again, and immediately began to praise Li Ze's offensive choice.

"The Magic's perimeter defense is still the same old problem, man, we talked about the game between the two teams in the Thunder's rookie season, and I remember the Thunder used the same style of play to easily win the opponent, and Kayce and Durant were in such good shape tonight that the Magic needed to squeeze through the pick-and-roll!"

Mark Jackson also began to express his opinion, and more than a year later, the outside line of the Magic team has not changed, which is really a little speechless.

The Magic's offense, after passing the ball a few times, Turkoglu seemed to want to find the feeling he once had, slowly dribbling under his crotch outside the three-point line, and finally facing Durant's defense, he came to a step-back three-pointer.

"Bang!" One more iron.

The long rebound ball was directly accepted by Li Ze, and then quickly launched a conversion attack, the left hand quickly in and out, and then accelerated directly, easily shook Richardson, and after rushing through the half, he noticed that the turtle had accelerated wildly from the left side, and immediately sent a high throw pass.

The turtle turtle soared into the air, and after receiving the pass, he directly came to a two-handed heavy buckle!

"Bang...", the empty catch was slammed.

After landing on the ground, the turtle was extremely excited, slammed his chest, and then screamed, and showed his biceps when he returned to defense, which made many front-row viewers also shout.

Fans in the city love to watch the turtle play, although sometimes it goes into the sewer, but this kind of passionate dunk has always been a favorite of fans.

The small flame in Howard's heart rushed up, this attack was directly in the low post, after receiving a pass from Tekoglu, facing Kostic's defense, he hit his back twice, and then turned towards the baseline, and scored the ball with a stiff hook shot under the basket with his right hand.

Turtle Turtle still played a pistol tactic after half time, but this time he directly gave the ball to the raised Ibaka, and then quickly went over to receive a hand-handed pass, Li Ze moved to the line at this time, and Richardson combined to defend closely.

Noticing that Richardson's defense was very close, Li Ze suddenly ran back, quickly cut along the bottom line, and Turtle Turtle made a just right pass to the ground, directly sending the ball to Li Ze.

Howard's defense was also very fast, but to his surprise, Li Ze received the ball and took off directly, which made his defense a beat slower, and the jump height was not enough.

Seeing that Li Ze was not affected at all, he immediately realized that he was going to be dunked, at this time Li Ze's head was almost flat, his body was tense, his left arm was pulled back, and after a short period of stagnation, the wheel arm smashed the buckle and slammed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!"

“OH！ OH！ Separate the buttons ！ What a play by Kayce！ ”

“OMG！ I might have to make an appointment with Dwight for a doctor, Kayce killed him! ”

On the ESPN commentary seat, Mike Brin screamed directly, and then Jeff Van Gundy also shouted, and made a small joke by the way.

Howard's physical fitness is relatively good, although he staggered after landing, he maintained his body balance, but when he came back to his senses, he saw Li Ze shaking his finger at him with disdain, such a provocative action instantly aroused the anger in his heart.

At this time, the fans of the Ford Center Arena were in high spirits, and when everyone saw the turtle passing, they realized that there might be a dunk, and many people subconsciously stood up, and saw that Li Ze almost knocked down Howard, and immediately began to scream wildly.

"Squeak..."

The referee gave Li Ze a technical foul again, shaking his finger was regarded as a provocative action, under the strict blowing penalty, the foul must be given, Li Ze didn't care, he had to pay the price for his big mouth before the game, and at this time he began to raise his hands to the spectators on the sidelines, signaling everyone to continue to hi!

Turkoglu hit a free throw, the Magic attacked again, Howard, who was angry and rising, began to ask for the ball in the low post, showing off his back singles again, and wanted to squeeze under the basket to fight back with a tough dunk, but when he turned around, the ball was a little out of his hand, and finally helplessly carried Kostic, and put the ball in under the basket...

In the eyes of Russian city fans, such a response is inferior! Some front-row fans even directly mocked Howard's back-to-back skills.

"Hey, maybe you can ask Kayce for some footsteps!"

"Haha, man, you might as well dunk two straight down, and stop showing off your crappy back-to-back skills."

Li Ze's side scored consecutive goals, Durant was not to be outdone, in the face of a defender with a high center like Turkogru, Durant also dared to show off his ball control skills, covered and received the ball and broke through in steps, changed his body forward and backward twice in a row, completely shook off the defense, and hit the mid-distance with a quick stop.

"Brilliant goal! Guys, how tall is Durant really? ”

Hearing Mike Brin's inquiry, Mark Jackson replied with a smile:

"Anyway, it's definitely not his height on the draft report, if you just look on the court, Durant's height is close to Howard."

At this time, the pace of the court is getting faster and faster, and the game is completely on the side of the Thunder, and in the case of the offensive end, the defensive end directly gave up the plan to wrap the bag, and the two sides completely turned into an offensive battle in the first quarter.

By the end of the first quarter, at 26:35, the Thunder easily led by 9 points, and to the excitement of the audience, Li Ze was 4 of 4 in the first quarter, Durant was 4 of 5 in the first quarter, and Turtle Turtle was 3 of 6, and the trio all showed terrifying scoring efficiency.

In the second quarter of the rotation, the Magic changed the backcourt combination, Arenas and JJ Redick came off the bench, Ryan Anderson also got the opportunity to play, and the angry Howard did not care about resting and continued to stay on the court with Buss.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, Arenas felt a little numb when he saw Li Ze, when he was still in the Wizards, he was completely blown up by the outside line of the Thunder team, these newcomers don't respect the veterans at all!

Noticing that Arenas' defense was not very close, Li Ze began to dribble under his crotch continuously outside the three-point line, his body's center of gravity dropped slightly, and he pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand.

Arenas hurriedly and quickly defended, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back again with his right hand, and at the same time held the ball in his left hand for a slight pause, then suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, and after dribbling a big step, he dribbled back with a large cross-step.

Arenas was already stunned at the free throw line, watching Li Ze shoot an easy jump shot outside the three-point line, and what was even more excessive was that Li Ze didn't wait for the ball to go in, he had already raised his hands and started to celebrate.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

Shrimp pork heart! Arenas is depressed to death, can't you respect the veteran?

"I love watching Kayce play, haha, it's a great shake, maybe he'll be the top 10 in the NBA today!"

Jeff Van Gundy laughed directly in the commentary seat, Li Ze's celebration action was indeed a bit suspicious of something, but the audience at Ford Center Arena liked it very much, and when everyone saw Li Ze raise his hands, they shouted synchronously and began to celebrate.

The Magic's offense actually didn't have too many problems, although Howard's movements were not pretty, he could always score the ball under the basket, and JJ Redick could also hit three-pointers, but the score was behind, and he could attack or not defend, which depended on the opponent's hand.

Li Ze didn't shoot frequently in the second quarter of the game, he found that his teammates felt very good today, Ibaka's mid-range shooting was still stable, and Jeff Green could also hit three-pointers, so most of the time he was running tactics, and the cover outside after UCLA cut in always allowed Li Ze to get an opportunity to make an empty three-pointer.

By the time Coach Brooks rotated personnel, Li Ze made 3 of 4 shots in the second quarter, and all 4 shots were three-pointers, and he easily scored 9 points in a single quarter.

And then on the court Durant still maintained a very high shooting rate, tonight's game Durant killed the special kill, and completely blew up Turkogru...

At halftime, 57:68, the Thunder extended their lead, and Howard had the feeling of a punch on the cotton, and the jumper was simply his natural enemy.

After the start of the second half, the Thunder's style of play became more simple and rough, and Coach Brooks also knew that the outside trio was full of hands today, so the tactics in the third quarter temporarily became a high block at the No. 5 position.

After the turtle opened, he blocked and dismantled away from the three-point line, changed direction in front of the body, and then accelerated in a straight line, easily got rid of Nelson's defense, and after dribbling past the three-point line at high speed, he quickly dribbled back and pulled back without waiting for Howard's reaction, and then made a two-point pull-up jump shot.

"Whew...", a two-point goal was scored.

The Magic also played a pick-and-roll, with Nelson and Buss blocking and pick-and-roll, and after the pick-and-roll, Bass received a pass at the elbow on the right side of the free-throw line, and then scored with a mid-range jumper.

The Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball, and the turtle immediately gave the ball to the raised Ibaka after half court, and then quickly cut inside, taking away the defense, Li Ze quickly moved to the line, received a hand-handed pass, and broke through with the ball in his right hand.

Richardson has been chasing the defense on his side, and Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly dribbled behind his back twice in a row, and while his body made a confusing shake, he dribbled vigorously on the spot with his right hand, and after shaking off the defense, he made a mid-range pull-up jump shot.

"Whew...", an easy goal from the middle distance.

The crowd at Ford Center began to cheer loudly for the team's goal, and tonight's offensive battle was really cool, with both teams hitting high percentages.

Seeing the Thunder scoring consecutive goals, the Magic team finally got a little anxious, and after passing the ball a few times from the outside, Richardson fired directly outside the three-point line, but unfortunately still hit the iron.

After the rebound was accepted by Ibaka, the Thunder launched another transition offense, Durant used double cover to receive the ball outside the three-point line, a simple false shake, successfully shook off Turkoglou's defensive center of gravity, dribbled with the ball in his right hand, and made a one-step pull-up jump shot inside the three-point line.

"Whew...", the long two points scored again.

After the goal, Durant also looked extremely arrogant, directly facing Turkoglu and slapping his shoulder, and then quickly returned to the defense with a smile on his face.

"Maybe the Magic will fail this season, I don't see any changes to their outside defense, not every team likes to hit the basket, and obviously the team's uniform team doesn't have the right lineup around Howard."

Jeff Van Gundy showed no mercy in his mouth, and when he saw that the score difference had widened, he directly began to talk about the team's gossip, and by the way, he complained about the management of the Magic team.

Howard also became more and more frustrated, his scoring could not help the team narrow the gap, he could only watch the Thunder's trio hit long shots again and again, and when the official timeout, the frustrated Howard directly gave up the game, and also had some verbal altercations with the big Van Gundy head coach.

"Oh! It seems that their relationship hasn't eased yet, haha, maybe it's time for the Magic to change a head coach. ”

Durant was so happy that tonight he felt like the basket was as wide as the ocean, noticed what was happening on the Magic's bench, and immediately began to gloat.

"Those gossip news still have a certain credibility, maybe Howard will choose to leave the team in the future, coach Van Gundy is still very prestigious."

Li Ze took a sip with a relaxed expression, tonight's face slap operation was not very successful, Howard didn't last until the 4th quarter, in fact, he can understand the other party, and it doesn't feel good to wipe his ass on the outside.

In the second half of the third quarter, after Howard went off the court, the performance of the turtle was extremely active, and several consecutive breakthroughs were successful, which also allowed the Thunder team to completely open up the difference, and then it was time for the atmosphere group to perform, and the Russian fans on the scene had begun to celebrate the victory of the game in advance.

The garbage time ran out quickly, and at 108:125, the Thunder completely blew up the Magic team with a crazy offense.

Li Ze easily scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 turnover and 1 steal in this game, in this kind of high-round game, he can easily get a high score in the third quarter, and in an interview with an ESPN reporter after the game, Li Ze directly joked:

"My stats probably don't lie, as you know, I've always been very good at high-level stats, so say thank you to Stephen A for me and for his appreciation of me on First Take!"

"Haha, I will, Kayce, come on All-Star Game!"

While Li Ze celebrated the victory of the game with the fans of the Russian City, he thought of the opponent in the next game:

"There's only one championship, it's time for the old Mamba to get out of the way!"
