On the evening of the 20th, the All-Star Game ended, and the Thunder trio came to the press conference room after the game as soon as possible, and after simply answering a few questions, Li Ze, Turtle, and Durant withdrew.

It didn't work out, most of the scene was Los Angeles media again, and the trio was not interested in touting Kobe, and the interview ended early...

After that, as the protagonists of tonight, Kobe and Gasol quickly came to the press conference room, and as soon as they sat down, the media reporters in Los Angeles gave warm applause, congratulating Kobe Bryant on winning the All-Star Game MVP.

"Thank you! I'm very old, and tonight's game has taken a lot of energy, so I can take a breath and answer your questions, so you can ask my best partner first. ”

Winning the award at home, Kobe Bryant was in a good mood, he felt Gasol's handicap very much, so he intended to add some exposure to his good partner.

"Gasol, can you talk about how you feel about this year's All-Star Game?"

"Tonight's game was fantastic, the basketball atmosphere in Los Angeles never disappoints, and there are a lot of big stars who came to cheer on the scene, it was a perfect All-Star game, and I believe that many years from now, the fans will regard this All-Star Game as a classic!"

Gasol, who turned on the commercial mutual blowing mode, loudly praised the environment of Los Angeles, and the local media was overjoyed, noticing Kobe Bryant looking at everyone with a smile on his face, ESPN's memory was the first to speak:

"Kobe Bryant, the All-Star Weekend is over, all teams in the league have entered the sprint stage, the Lakers are currently only fourth in the West, and in the next games, will you try to improve your final ranking?"

"Of course, we need home-court advantage in the playoffs, and if we're healthy, we're going to go all out to win, I'm already an old guy, maybe this is the last time I'll win the All-Star Game MVP, but I'm not going to stop in the pursuit of a championship."

"The Lakers have a chance to dominate an era again, for three consecutive championships, I will give it my all, train hard, control my diet, keep my body in good shape, I will do everything I can, I will start the Lakers dynasty again!"

Kobe Bryant said these words with a sincere face, and suddenly the Los Angeles media reporters on the scene climaxed collectively, the Lakers dynasty! What a wonderful word!

"Come on, Kobe, Los Angeles will always have your back!"

"I can't wait to see the playoffs, the Lakers will open again!"

Media reporters outside Los Angeles secretly got a lemon, and at the same time frantically complained about the arrogant Lakers in their hearts:

"Triple loan in a row? The megalomaniacal Lakers! ”

After Kobe Bryant and Gasol finished blowing up with local reporters in Los Angeles, the scene suddenly became a little quiet, because it was an interview with LeBron James, but unfortunately he hadn't come yet.

After everyone had waited for half an hour, reporters in Los Angeles were the first to take the lead:

"Does James think it's Cleveland or Miami? Does he think of himself as a superstar in Los Angeles? ”

Just when everyone was chattering, LeBron James appeared, just sat down and apologized directly to everyone on the scene:

"SORRY GUYS, I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIME WHEN CHATTING WITH JAY-Z AFTER THE GAME, I PROMISE TO COOPERATE WITH YOU TONIGHT."

Although everyone complained before, after James sat down, the TNT reporter was the first to ask:

"LeBron, you almost got a triple-double tonight, do you regret missing this opportunity?"

"No, we've been down from the first quarter, and in a situation like this, I think my teammates need my offense, I'm a winner, and I'm not going to think too much about the record."

"LeBron, can you briefly evaluate Kobe's performance tonight?"

When LeBron James heard such a question, he immediately smiled kindly, and then exclaimed:

"Kobe Bryant is my role model, he gave his all tonight to help the Western Conference All-Stars win, he's a natural winner, and it's an honor to play against him."

"Of course, this All-Star Game, all of us played great, and a lot of the current players are moving closer to the legend."

"Isaiah Thomas in the past, Chris Paul in the past, Michael Jordan in the past, Kobe Bryant in the past, Magic Johnson in the past, and now me, we will continue to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and the game will be more and more enjoyable!"

There was nothing wrong with that, but the media reporters at the scene found that LeBron James didn't seem to mention the Thunder's trio, and Kayce would definitely be dissatisfied, which is great! Tomorrow is alive again!

At this time, Li Ze didn't know that he was represented by Amerika's media reporters, and after learning that Jeff Green was still traded, Li Ze was also in a bad mood, returned to Annie's house, and saw the empty house, only then did he remember that Britney had a girls' party at home tonight, and the three of them should be crazy at this time...

Just finished taking a bath and was about to go to bed and rest, but I didn't expect to hear a sound of the door opening, and then Li Ze saw Alexandra, who was a little dazed, walking in crookedly:

"Kayce, I'm so happy tonight, you're such a considerate little man, you must bring me with you next time you have an event, vomit..."

"Shet! How much did you really drink! ”

Li Ze hurriedly grabbed the black-haired super-large wave royal sister who was already drinking, and saw that the other party seemed to want to vomit, so he hurriedly helped this person into the bathroom.

Alexandra retched a few times, and then she completely came back to her senses, and when she saw Li Ze's disgusted look, she immediately smiled:

"Help me take a bath, just like you and Annie, you little scoundrel!"

Li Zeke was not interested in dealing with a drunk woman, so he directly helped this super-large wave royal sister to the side of the bathtub, and then said angrily:

"Take a good bath, and then sleep peacefully, and drink less next time you can't drink, why didn't Anne come back?"

"Humph! I know that your Annie, the stupid girl takes care of the flat-chested girl, I don't care, I want you to help me take a bath! ”

Li Ze saw that this person had already changed his equipment in a daze, and immediately slapped his forehead and hurried out, but in less than 5 minutes, Alexandra began to shout again:

"Kayce, where is the bath towel, you little villain, did you hide the bath towel, I don't have the strength, hand me the bath towel!"

Li Ze really didn't expect that this person had no sense of precaution at all, what caught his eye was his fair skin, maybe it was because he had drunk, and the white was red, seeing Li Ze come in and put down the bath towel and leave, Alexandra stood up directly, and then protected Li Ze from behind:

"Kayce, can you just think it's a dream tonight?"

When the black-haired super-large wave sister took the initiative to kiss Li Ze, the night when the two were a little confused officially began.

"Whew! Alex, I hope you don't regret it! ”

“…”

On the morning of the 21st, Alexandra woke up in a daze, feeling the sound of breathing coming from her side, and the black-haired oversized wave sister suddenly became a little shy.

Shaken off the alcoholic state, Alexandra's body temperature rose sharply at the thought of her fancy defensive moves last night, and at the same time, the feeling of powerlessness from her body made her realize what she had done.

Li Ze also woke up at this time, looking at the skin of the super-large wave royal sister in his arms and faintly reddening, he immediately understood Alexandra's state, and after adjusting his posture, the black-haired super-large wave royal sister couldn't help but call out directly:

"Ahh

"Kayce, we..."

"Just think it's a dream! Alex…”

Hearing the whisper of Li Ze, who was holding the ball with both hands, there was a hint of charm in the blue eyes of the black-haired super-large wave royal sister, and she felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, and then began to deceive herself:

"yes, it's a dream..."

At noon, Britney had just returned home and immediately began to shout:

"Next time I'll never drink again, I'll vomit to death!"

After finishing speaking, he fell on the sofa like a salted fish and didn't move, Li Ze took two cups of warm honey water and handed them directly to the blonde sweet girl and Annie:

"You shouldn't have that girl's party, God knows how much you drank last night?"

Anne took the honey water, took a sip and sat directly on the sofa, felt the gentle massage of Li Ze's fingers on her head, immediately let out a comfortable sigh, and then said:

"Alex drank a lot last night, we had such a crazy time, I think she threw up a few times, Kayce, she didn't bother you when she got home!"

Although Li Ze was a little flustered, he was stable on the surface, and directly complained:

"I came back and vomited a few times, and I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and I guess she had to sleep a little longer."

"Eccentric, give me a press too, if only the NBA All-Star Game was held once a month, I really miss the college life at the beginning, when we had a party every week!"

When the blonde sweet girl saw Li Ze coming, she immediately said coquettishly.

"It's a pity that we all grew up, everyone has their own careers and families, and we are in a good state now, and I like our life very much."

As soon as Anne's words fell, Alexandra, whose skin was still red, also appeared in front of several people wearing a set of home clothes, and the black-haired oversized wave royal sister looked lazy and greeted several people:

"I'm sorry, Britney, I caused you trouble last night, Annie, you should have stopped me, my alcohol consumption has not been very good, Kayce, thank you for taking care of me!"

"I love your skin, it's so white, Alex, do you have any skincare tips?"

Alexandra trembled when she heard Britney's words, and when she thought that Li Ze had said similar love words, her skin couldn't help but turn a little redder, and she whispered:

"Just pay attention to sun protection!"

"We've got to settle lunch, I don't want to go back to Russia hungry, Alex, Annie, Britney, what do you want to eat?"

Li Ze hurriedly diverted the topic, the black-haired super-large wave royal sister's acting skills were not up to par, and the two only played a friendly match last night, but this one obviously couldn't let go.

Because several girls didn't want to go out again at all, in the end everyone simply ordered a few pizzas, Li Ze was not a picky eater, he had a huge physical consumption last night, so the food was extraordinarily sweet, and the three girls who did not eat much were driven by him, and they couldn't help but eat...

"God is so unfair, why do you eat so much and still have such a good body!"

Britney was very envious of Li Ze's figure that was not fat no matter how much she ate, and Alexandra on the side couldn't help but nod subconsciously when she heard the blonde sweet girl's words, she was deeply touched by this, she was simply a beast!

"Kayce, do you really want Big Machine Records to get involved in the cosmeceutical business? The acquisition plan will go ahead next year as scheduled, and SkinMedica is fine, but there have been some problems with the sales of their products. ”

"This is also Chapman's idea, but I think that if the product is passable, the star's ability to bring goods can solve a large part of the sales problem, Chapman has always wanted to expand the business of the record company, shoes, cosmetics are he has planned a long time ago, I also think this plan is not bad."

"JAY-Z's success is worth learning from, this person who not only sold records, but also alcohol, computers, shoes, clothes, everything he did directly, obviously this big star was completely successful, otherwise he would definitely not be as rich as he is now just by selling records."

Li Ze briefly explained the plan of the big machine record company, and by the way, Annie was reassured, although it cost a lot, but once Taylor switched to pop music, his influence would increase day by day.

The memory of the future tells Li Ze that the market for cosmeceuticals is very large, and the money is vast, in short, this is definitely a good route to make a fortune.

"I hope everything goes well, I don't know much about the market, but I'll try to manage the lab, and if I want to be safe and reliable in terms of ingredients, maybe SkinMedica will have to adjust the product route."

"Rare vacation, don't talk about work, Kayce, don't leave in the afternoon!"

The blonde sweet girl directly interrupted Anne's words, and then sat next to Li Ze and began to be coquettish, seeing that the other party was leaning on him and not leaving, Li Ze had no choice but to touch his head to kill, and said softly:

"After a while, you can come to Russia to live for a few days, and I will accompany you to read a book in the afternoon, obedient!"

Alexandra secretly looked at Li Ze, then at Anne who was cleaning up the room, and then showed a thoughtful look.

Noticing that Li Ze smiled at her, the black-haired super-large wave royal sister suddenly panicked, remembering the absurd experience last night, and couldn't help but scold herself in her heart:

"If you have to ask for trouble, it's just a dream!"

...

On the other side of the ocean, Kobe Bryant has been carnival for the past two days, Kobe Bryant won the MVP of the All-Star Game, and Tiger Pounce has reported Kobe's news in two days, especially in the post-game interview, Kobe Bryant talked about the three consecutive championships, which made the excited Komi shout out again:

"Kobe Bryant surpasses Jordan, Lakers championship!"

Other fans were a little unhappy when they saw Comi jumping up and down, but there was no way, after all, Kobe Bryant got a real honor.

As for the loan championship, everyone is used to it, anyway, the playoffs are coming, and once the Lakers collapse, it will not be too late to get dark.

On the 22nd of the Celestial Empire, a piece of news completely detonated the tiger pounce, and the fans' eyes also took their eyes off Kobe, after all, the transaction was too exciting, and the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and New York Knicks made a three-way trade on this day.

And what makes all fans feel a little confused is that the Nuggets, who currently have a good record, have almost directly rebuilt!

The Denver Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony, Reinaldo Balkman, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Sheldon Williams and a 2016 first-round pick to the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks sent Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov.

Fans don't care what the Timberwolves get, they just see that the Knicks now have Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony, Stoudemire, and the Big Three again? This deal has made many Celestial Empire fans completely climax.

"Now the playoffs in the East are good, the Big Three of the Heat, the Big Three of the Celtics, and now there is another Big Three of the New York Knicks, let's start playing quickly!"

"The Nuggets are finished, it is estimated that they will have a round of tours, and the results of this season are okay, but the management has traded away star players."

"All-Star is not interesting, you still have to watch the playoffs! If the Heat didn't make it out of the East, it would be hilarious! ”

"This kind of deal is a bit outrageous! Antoniga Stoudemire, the offensive end is definitely fine, it depends on the team's defense. ”

"It's useless for anyone to come! Volute championship, three consecutive championships, unstoppable, the Lakers dynasty is about to start again! ”

"It's been a mess this season, I don't know if the Thunder have made a trade, it's best to add a strong inside."

"It still feels like it's no fun, the core players are too young, and it's difficult to trade too good inside, in this case, if you want to win the championship, you really have to rely on Li Ze's outside trio."

"No one will be the opponent of the Heat, this year I Zhan is already invincible, my teammates are also powerful, and I am finally going to win the championship!"

"James is really forgetful, and you have to use blocking and dismantling to complete the All-Star Game, take a good look at Li Ze's performance!"

…

On the night of the 21st, Alexandra excused herself and quietly followed Li Ze to the Russian city.

Young men and women can always spark inadvertently, Alexandra is addicted to the pleasure of her body and can't extricate herself, while Li Ze is lamenting each other's physique, the two are indeed very compatible.

The reddened skin seemed to indicate that the confrontation just now was extremely intense, and the black-haired super-large wave royal sister was held in Li Ze's arms at this time, and she didn't want to move at all.

"Kayce, will you just hold me like that?"

If he didn't say anything, of course Li Ze had to ignore it, he already knew the other party's body very well, and he could guess some of the thoughts of this black-haired super big wave royal sister, and while slowly controlling the big ball, he whispered in the other party's ear:

"Do you want to play a dangerous game? …”

Hearing Li Ze's whisper in her ear, Alexandra felt that she was going to be completely broken, and her rapid breathing betrayed her true thoughts, and the night was still long...

On the afternoon of the 22nd, at the Ford Center Arena, everyone on the Thunder team began recovery training after the All-Star break, perhaps because of the trade, and everyone was not in high spirits.

Kostic naturally received a call from his agent that he and Jeff Green would be traded to the Celtics together, and tonight will be his last appearance for the Thunder, and while he really doesn't want to leave the team, business is business.

"Cheer up, boys! Tonight's game is our first home game since the All-Star break, and I hope you can show your energy and give the fans a great game! ”

"Of course, tonight's game can also be regarded as a parting gift, and I also feel a little sorry for the team's decision, Green, Nenaard, you are all good players, your career has just begun, no matter where you go, you are always welcome in the city!"

The Brooks head coach has a lot of issues with Presti's approach, and it's hard to get players involved in playing a game at home when they know they're being traded.

Especially when he thought about the object of the trade, a badly injured player and a backup guard, but to use his two main interior players to trade, Coach Brooks was a little dissatisfied.

Championship center, Kendrick Perkins, is the right interior player Presti found for the Thunder, and sending Jeff Green away also means further distribution of the ball, and the trio is about to take over the team completely.

"You're the protagonist tonight, a lot of Russian fans have gotten the news, and I'd like to give a parting gift with a win, Green, Nenaard, I've got this for you!"

Seeing Li Ze take out two delicate gold chains, the two of them suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, especially Jeff Green, who brought Li Ze to join the chain clan in the first place.

"Pay attention to the details of the necklace, I engraved everyone's names on it, which also means that we are a united logger!"

As soon as Li Ze's words were finished, Durant on the side also smiled and said:

"Everybody's involved in the design, everybody has one, but you two have the most weight, take him, Bro, and hopefully one day you'll win with this necklace!"

"Remember to reveal us more gossip from the east in the future, everyone in the city will miss you!"

Turtle and Turtle also coaxed, signaling the two to hurry up, Jeff Green and Nenard Kostic looked at everyone, and then both responded with emotion at the same time:

"Thank you, we will always remember the experience in Russia! Hopefully we can win the championship! ”

…

On the evening of the 22nd, the Ford Center Arena was full, and due to Twitter, news of the trade between the teams was more accessible to fans, and some reporters with accurate internal information also attracted attention by breaking the news.

Both Yahoo Sports and ESPN have reported on the Thunder trade, but many Russian City fans are very unhappy with the deal.

Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson, who are clearly the Celtics' outcasts, two bench players, but swapped out their main interior lineman, this trade looks too unreliable!

But for tonight's game, the fans gave all their enthusiasm, and in the eyes of Oga fans, Jeff Green and Kostic were both big contributors to last year's Western Conference Finals, and everyone wanted to leave a good memory for both players.

Griffin felt a little unlucky, the Thunder played too hard tonight, after the opening, Li Ze and Turtle Turtle were full of game, under the restrictions of the two, Byron Davis and Randy Foye could not effectively organize the team's offense.

“ OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

Klifen, who had just won the dunk king, hit the iron again, and the scene immediately erupted into a huge cheer, and Kostic, who received the rebound, directly gave the ball to Li Ze, and the Thunder team launched a conversion attack again.

Although DeAndre Jordan is a big man, he has a very positive attitude towards the defense, and he has just been under the basket, and he has already driven full speed and quickly returned to the halfcourt.

Li Ze did not rush to attack, but waited until the Thunder team all rushed through the half court before making an offensive gesture, and then quickly gave the ball to the turtle turtle and cut directly inside to take away the defense.

Kostic quickly stepped up to block and dismantle, and after a simple change of direction in front of the turtle, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, easily getting rid of Byron Davis' defense, and noticed that Andrew Jordan's defense was very high.

Cross-step dribbling back, pretending to shoot, seeing that the opponent was easily fooled, the turtle sent a ground-hitting pass, and accurately found Kostic under the line, the opponent's interior defense was wide open, and after receiving the ball, Kostic took advantage of the situation to make a powerful one-handed split!

"Boom!" Win a dunk under the basket.

Huge cheers immediately erupted from the Ford Center arena, and the fans in the city were shouting for Kostic's brilliant dunk.

The trio didn't steal the show tonight, sending the ball to Kostic and Jeff Green a lot of the time, and the last home game, against the Clippers, everyone thought they could make the two have a good time.

Jeff Green's outside projection, Kostic's low-post singles, both of them are alternating between their scores, and the Russian City fans on the scene are really looking high, the Clippers players are almost numb, is this still the regular season? It's okay to give face...

Li Ze and Jeff Green made cross covers in the three-second zone, and then quickly came to the outside to receive the ball, facing Randy Foye's defense, Li Ze first shook a little, noticed that the opponent's defensive center of gravity moved forward, quickly lowered the center of his body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Griffin's defense had just retracted, only to find that the ball in Li Ze's hand was gone.

In the midst of an exclamation at the scene, Jeff Green in the bottom left corner received Li Ze's dashing back pass, and when no one was guarded, he gently adjusted his breathing, and then shot an empty three-point jumper.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Well done buddy! Remember to play a few more cuts without the ball, and you can rest assured of my passes! ”

When retreating, Li Ze praised Jeff Green with a smile, the Clippers' defense tonight is really not good, so this time must be brushed up.

"Haha, I love the Clippers' defense!"

Jeff Green, who has scored consecutive goals, also seemed very excited, and he could score more points in the last game, which can be regarded as giving back to the fans at the scene.

DeAndre Jordan played a very depressed game tonight, he doesn't like to defend and pick-and-roll, and the Thunder's block-and-roll offense is simply unpredictable, Li Ze is a standard triple threat, can pass and break the ball! He didn't know how to defend after a big delay...

Coupled with the fact that the interior line was cleaned up by Kostic again, in the fourth quarter of the game, DeAndre Jordan still failed to control his foul count and was directly sent off.

"Roar!"

Fans at Ford Center immediately cheered Kostic's performance, while many front-row spectators mocked Andrew Jordan.

"Goodbye, kid!"

"Rookie, you can't compare to Kostic in any way other than bouncing."

"Such crude technology can even play in the NBA, maybe the league should raise the selection standards for players."

With the jumper off the court, the Thunder have extended the margin to 20 points.

Blake Griffin was also out of the game at this time, and the game didn't make much sense anymore, seeing the Thunder's smooth offensive coordination, Griffin showed a look of envy, and he really didn't want to mess up.

In the end, 88-113, the Thunder defeated the Clippers at home.

After the game, all the Russian City fans stood up for Kostic and Jeff Green, which also made everyone in the Clippers look at each other, they really haven't seen this face, after all, there are frequent trades in the Clippers segment, and it is normal for anyone to leave and someone to stay.

After the game, the Ford Center Arena was still noisy, and Griffin found Li Ze and immediately began to vent his bitterness:

"Kayce, I really envy you to have such passionate fans, in Los Angeles, there are no Clippers fans at all, everyone loves to watch the Lakers, even if their ticket prices are several times higher than ours!"

Hearing this, Li Ze pouted secretly in his heart, this typical person is cheap and obedient, if it wasn't for the All-Star Game in Los Angeles, maybe McGee's dunk would have won the championship of the dunk contest, where would it be his turn!

"Fans in big cities are different, maybe they prefer to win, they like championships more, if you have the ability to lead the Clippers to beat the Lakers, believe me, many fans will directly defect, the championship is the last word!"

When Griffin heard Li Ze's words, he immediately felt a sense of kin, the championship was really too far away from him, not to mention that he didn't believe that this group of teammates could win the championship together, and once again felt the hot atmosphere of the scene, Griffin could only sigh lightly:

"Sometimes I really want to play in small ball city, and I don't like the locker room atmosphere of the Clippers at all."

“…”

After this game, the Thunder will fly to San Antonio tomorrow, where they will take on the Spurs in back-to-back games.

Tomorrow Jeff Green and Kostic will leave the team straight away, and the duo will travel to Boston to complete their pre-trade medical checks.

On the last night in Russia, everyone on the Thunder team held a practice party for the two, maybe everyone will take different flights tomorrow and fly to different destinations, and everyone was not in a high mood at the party in the evening.

Durant even pulled Jeff Green to keep complaining, this trade actually had a great impact on Durant, and he lost the staunchest supporter in the locker room.

"Kevin, Kayce is a very good guy to get along with, the problem of possession has been solved, both of you are the core players of the team, sometimes you don't have to go for the position of the boss in the dressing room, just like you believe in his key ball ability, Kayce will not deliberately target you in the locker room."

Jeff Green knows Durant's thoughts, the one who has always wanted to be the real leader of the Thunder, whether on the court or in the locker room, he wants to establish his central position, but as Durant's good brother, he still hopes that the two can live together in harmony in the future.

"I know, but sometimes the media is attracted to him, obviously my stats are good this season, but Kayce is the number one MVP candidate, hell rule, I don't know why those commentators always like to look at those boring high-level stats, I just want to get the respect I deserve."

Hearing Jeff Green's words, Durant explained a little depressed, especially when he thought of Li Ze's outrageous shooting rate, Durant always felt that his future was not bright, and he said that he was here to assist him. As a result, he's now about to turn into Pippen...

"Your talent is unique, Kevin, all you need to do is continue to hone your basketball skills, I believe the playoffs are your real stage, and I really want to win the championship with everyone!"

As soon as Jeff Green's words fell, Durant also fell into deep thought, this trade made him realize that the team may really not want to pay taxes, and thinking about the future situation, Durant felt that he should also prepare early.

…

On February 23, on the plane to San Antonio, there was no Jeff Green and Kostic, and the gossip of Jeff Green in the past was missing, which also made everyone on the Thunder team feel uncomfortable.

Tonight's opponents are sure to go all out to win, with the Spurs currently sitting 46-10 and trailing behind the Thunder.

I don't know what Ecstasy Popovich gave Richard Jefferson, the bald tough guy who made huge sacrifices in the Spurs' system, with less ball possession and heavier defensive duties.

This season's Spurs, each player has his own role, and the tactical concept of team basketball has made them better and better, if it weren't for the Thunder team to occupy the first place in the league, the Spurs may have soared into the sky, and Popovich would have received more praise.

The two teams are old rivals and both know each other's tactics very well, but Ibaka and Collison are in the starting lineup tonight due to the Jeff Green and Kostic trades.

Popovich naturally noticed the Thunder's shortage of interior personnel and the lack of basket height, so the Spurs frequently handed the ball to Duncan on the inside after the opening, trying to use Duncan's personal ability to blow up the Thunder's interior.

As the biggest beneficiary of the trade, Ibaka who came to the starting lineup was full of motivation at this time, and in the face of Duncan's low-post attack, Ibaka used his flexible footwork to always firmly block the position and not give the opponent a chance to go to the line.

And Duncan, as an old fritter who has been in the league for many years, saw that there was a chance to go down, put the ball with his right hand after three threats, pretended to go up the line, and then quickly turned around, broke through along the bottom line, carried Ibaka with his body, tilted his body, and threw a shot with his left hand.

"Huh...", the projectile hit the board successfully.

The failure to defend made Ibaka look a little annoyed, he very much disliked defending interior players such as Nowitzki, Duncan, and Gasol, and the gap in experience was too big, which gave him a feeling that he couldn't use it.

"Sergi, great defense, keep the fouls under control!"

Seeing that Ibaka was a little too active tonight, Li Ze couldn't help but remind the other party that there is a shortage of internal personnel in the team, and once there is a foul crisis, Byron in the atmosphere group will have to move, and the ability to protect the frame will definitely plummet...

At this time, the first quarter of the game has been going on for more than 4 minutes, and the Spurs have been slowing down the pace of the game since the opening, and the defensive confrontation is enough.

Ginobili and Jefferson defended Li Ze and Durant strictly after the opening, especially the bald tough guy, who seemed to enter the playoffs directly, and in the first few rounds of the opening game, several covers for Durant were unsuccessful.

Li Ze already has a very good understanding of the Spurs' defensive system, squeezing through the cover, rushing to the line, blocking the area to help defend, and testing the shooting touch, Popovich, a bad old man, still took out the old routines of the past, and seems to want to live the old and renew!

After determining the opponent's defensive strategy, Li Ze decided to speed up the offensive rhythm, this time the turtle passed the half, quickly gave the ball to Li Ze, and played an offensive gesture after receiving the ball.

Li Ze naturally noticed that Blair also followed, and understood that the Spurs wanted to take advantage of the situation to make him out of the ball this time, Li Ze did not wait for the blocking and dismantling to happen, and suddenly lowered the center of gravity of his body, and at the same time vigorously fried the ball with his left hand, stepped with his right foot, exerted force under his feet, and broke through with cross-step dribbling.

Ginobili didn't expect Li Ze's first step to be so fast, his body subconsciously slid backwards continuously, and then immediately reacted and was shaken!

At the same time as Ginobili slid backwards, Li Ze quickly pulled back with his left hand, and then directly closed the ball, just one step past the three-point line, and shot a two-point emergency stop jump shot.

"Huh..."Two-point ball hollow net.

A huge exclamation erupted in the AT Center Arena, every time I saw Li Ze hit a long two points, many Spurs fans thought of last year's playoffs, many people have been thrown out of stress by Li Ze, and when they saw him shoot two points, they subconsciously wanted to exclaim.

Coach Popovich on the sidelines cursed in his heart, such a scene is simply infuriating, but he can't criticize Ginobili.

Li Ze's exaggerated shaking amplitude coupled with skillful ball control skills is simply a foul, and in the case of not being able to get started easily, the outside defender is too passive!

In the next game, the two sides showed a completely different rhythm of the game, and the Thunder side directly gave up the treatment and chose to press the Spurs' outside line, trying to create the opponent's mistakes.

And unlike previous games, Tony Parker didn't have enough minutes tonight, and the Spurs went on a rampage inside to try to put Ibaka in foul danger.

The two sides were fast and slow, and the score was alternately leading, and Coach Popovich did not expect Ibaka to hold out for so long.

But the strategy of the game had been set, and as an old-school coach, he also changed his tactics halfway, and the two sides were entangled until the third quarter, and the Spurs' persistence finally paid off.

After receiving four fouls, Ibaka had no choice but to leave the game, and with 7 minutes and 42 seconds left in the third quarter, Coach Brooks was a little entangled at this time, and finally the idea of offense overwhelmed the defense.

Sofrosa came on, Coach Brooks still came up with his five-small lineup, and Coach Popovich also took the opportunity to make substitutions, Antonio McDyce came on the field, and directly put a double tower...

The Thunder's offense, Durant and Collison came to the left and right elbows of the free throw line respectively, Sofrosa stood in the left bottom corner, Li Ze stood in the right bottom corner, and held the ball at the top of the turtle arc, "V" shaped offense.

Durant began to move to the three-point line at this time, at this time the turtle quickly changed direction in front of the body, left hand the ball to the left side of the breakthrough, Durant's cover just hung up, and then quickly bounced.

Noticing that Duncan had defended it, the turtle had just dribbled past the three-point line and immediately threw the ball to Durant, who received the ball and moved from the top of the arc to the right wing outside the three-point line.

At this time, Li Ze, through Collisson's cover, quickly moved to the line from the bottom corner, and after completing a hand-to-hand pass with Durant, he came directly to the top of the arc without stopping.

Lowering the center of gravity of the body, the left hand quickly in and out, just dribbling through the three-point line, suddenly pulled back under the crotch sharply, while adjusting the footsteps, the right hand paused slightly, changed the rhythm of the dribble, and then instantly changed the direction of the body, shaking twice, almost shaking Ginobili to dance.

At this time, Li Ze accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, noticed that Duncan was moving, and directly flicked his wrist and accurately sent the ball to Durant, who received the ball and did not adjust, and made an empty three-point jumper.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

The AT Center Arena immediately erupted in huge boos, Spurs fans don't like to see the Thunder's flowing offense, and Li Ze and Durant, who returned to the defense, high-fived and celebrated, the current five-small lineup, there are many routines on the offensive end, after all, almost all four people on the outside can hold the ball.

"Well done, Bro! It looks like we're all rhythm shooters! ”

At this time, the Thunder team was leading by 5 points, and Li Ze was in a good mood, so he teased Durant again when he was back to defense.

"I'm an elite shooter!"

In the three-point competition, Durant's heart was forever painful, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard Li Ze's words, and then immediately emphasized his identity.

The five-small lineup, the "V" shape offense is playing vigorously, the breakthrough ability of the turtle and Durant always allows Li Ze to easily get some open shooting opportunities, and the task of defending Ginobili has also been taken over by Soflosa, making Li Ze more and more efficient.

14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover in the single quarter helped the Thunder take the lead in the third quarter, 87:82, and the Thunder led by 5 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Tony Parker used his spinning top to turn and successfully made an Ibaka foul, making five premature fouls, and Coach Brooks on the sidelines frowned.

After that, the Spurs changed their offensive strategy again, Tony Parker and Ginobili began to use pick-and-rolls frequently, breaking through the inside, and when the fourth quarter was halfway through, Ibaka still had six fouls to leave.

"Shet!"

It was obviously a great opportunity to establish a starting position, but as a result, he left the field with 6 fouls, and Ibaka was very dissatisfied with his performance, and just sat on the bench, and immediately cursed in a low voice.

Coach Popovich on the sidelines began to greet his players loudly, giving an offensive gesture covertly to signal the start, rushing to grab the rebound in the front court, and also replaced Gary Neal.

And this substitution really worked wonders, after the Thunder dropped backcourt rebounds in three consecutive rounds, Gary Neal scored three three-pointers in a row through a second offense, and directly overtook the score.

Now Durant still can't play the No. 4 position, and the Spurs have successfully seized the weakness of the Thunder's rebounding...

The four-point margin was maintained until the end, 109-113, and the Thunder lost to the Spurs on the road.

Li Ze efficiently scored 32 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 turnovers and 1 steal in this game, although he got the highest score in the game, he was still a little unhappy in his heart:

"I always have to pay it back when I come out, but I didn't expect it to be streamed in a wave..."

After the game, Li Ze had just returned to the locker room when he heard the turtle start shouting:

"ESPN gave us a C- rating for this transaction, and even said that we have no hope of competing for the championship, and the shit ball critics saw that we just lost, so they rubbed the heat on Twitter!"

"The trade rating is still a bit reliable, but we are still the first in the league, with a 47-9 record, which is not something that ordinary teams can play!"

Durant was also in a bad mood after the loss, he got 29 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers and 1 block in this game, which did not win, and the continuous loss of rebounds in the fourth quarter made him depressed to death.

"Shet! What does LeBron James mean by these words? Is this guy deliberately ignoring us? ”

"If it weren't for the lack of playing time in the All-Star Game, where would it be Kobe Bryant's turn to be the MVP, as for James, look at his lame dribbling, this guy wants to block every time he breaks through! What qualifications does he have to say that he is a magician? ”

Durant just happened to brush up on TNT's news report, and he was immediately choked with anger, the All-Star Game didn't do anything in Los Angeles, which made him a little angry, and James's deliberate neglect completely made Durant's heart on fire.

At this time, everyone on the Thunder team began to discuss the comments of the media reporters, and Li Ze saw these news that were a little late, and he had to admire the ability of Amerika's media reporters to do things.

These guys just endured until the Thunder team lost, and then released the article that had been written a long time ago while it was hot...

Li Ze briefly calculated the opponents he might encounter in the playoffs in his heart, and couldn't help but smile in his heart:

"Jump as much as you want, as long as there is no problem with the basic health, the playoffs are a slap in the face!"

"Look at less Twitter lately, we still have away games to play after that, Sergi, you don't have to be frustrated, it's normal to lose, all you need to do is sum up the game!"

"Rest early tonight, tomorrow we fly straight to Orlando, the team is a bit difficult at the moment, everyone has to take more responsibility!"

When head coach Brooks returned to the locker room, he immediately interrupted the gossip that the Spurs were so strong that the coaching staff felt the pressure.

"Don't worry, coach, we will definitely be able to hold the first position!"

On February 25th, the Thunder team challenged the Magic team on the road, perhaps because everyone was overconfident before the game, and the game was lost cleanly...

Monster Howard exploded on the inside, 16 of 20 in the game, 40 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks and 5 turnovers, under the leadership of this super insider, 101:111, the Magic team playing at home easily defeated the Thunder.

Li Ze's performance in this game was as stable as ever, 13 of 22, including 4 of 10 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and 35 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 turnovers and 1 steal.

The data is very good, but Li Ze is not satisfied with his performance, once the rebounding is behind, his control of the team plummets, and the rhythm of the game is directly gone.

After the game, Ibaka was a little discouraged, starting two games in a row, and the Thunder lost against a strong team on the inside, which made him blame himself a little.

"Sergi, it's not a big deal to lose, we currently use a short wheel on the inside, in the face of Howard's strong attack, your physical strength can't be full all the time, remember to practice some strength when you go back, after all, you will be our inside pillar in the future!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Ibaka's mood also improved a lot, and he immediately patted his chest and promised:

"I'll train more and do my best to help the team win!"

"We can train together, most of the team doesn't like iron, welcome to join, Sergi!"

The turtle turtle also immediately made a statement, and Durant on the side saw this scene, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, is the locker room going to change hands?

After the loss, the Thunder returned to the city overnight, after which they will have a brief break, and then they will host the Lakers on the 27th, which will also be their last game of February.

On the morning of the 26th, after consecutive away games, the coaching staff gave everyone another half-day off, and in the afternoon they had to meet their new teammates, and the training after that would be tense.

At this time, Li Ze was looking at the recent discussion posts of fans on Reddit about the Thunder team, and saw that many people began to sing about the Thunder team because of consecutive losses, Li Ze felt speechless, the first place in the league is too disrespectful, has Hubuki already occupied Amelika?

In the three games after the All-Star Game, Li Ze actually gained a lot, with one silver, two golds and three badges, which once again comprehensively improved his strength:

Achievement Badge [Sudden Stop Three-Point Turret]: 3/500

Enhance the three-point shooting rate after dribbling on the spot, and improve the stability of shots.

Achievement Badge [Slot Master]: 5/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)

Improve the player's ability to slot, reduce the physical exertion caused by the action, and reduce the physical burden caused by the action.

Achievement Badge [Misalignment Expert]: 1/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)

Reduce the negative impact of shooting against higher defenders, improve the consistency of shots, and increase the shooting percentage for a short time after shaking off defenders.

The three upgraded badges are very practical in their attributes, especially the sense of location brought by the [Card Master], which makes Li Ze instantly feel as if he has been playing in the alliance for many years.

He has a new understanding of how to better position and position, and this kind of basketball intuition is what Li Ze values the most.

Thinking of facing the old Mamba again tomorrow, Li Ze felt that he had to add some confrontation to the other party, he still remembered how Kobe Bryant beat him behind his back in his rookie season! Thinking that according to the current ranking, the Lakers may be met in the second round of the playoffs, Li Ze smiled in his heart:

"The fatigue of my teammates after winning 2 consecutive championships, my body is no longer at its peak, if I want to win three consecutive championships, I have to ask the Thunder team first!"
