Chapter 217: Loading X Sharp Weapons (10,000-word chapter)
After making a shot, he felt like he would hit the shot, and the basket was as wide as the sea, and Li Ze felt as if he had entered the zone again.
Unlike breaking Chamberlain's all-out record before, he can clearly feel the form on the court, especially in the rotation stage, when playing the No. 1 position, Li Ze can not only easily end the attack, but also easily control the team's offensive rhythm.
[Enter the rhythm] badge almost combines all the badge bonuses that Li Ze currently has, this feels like heaven!
In pursuit of victory, McMillan did not replace Gerard Wallace and Aldridge, but simply changed the backcourt combination and put Marcus Camby in the number 5 position.
Brandon Roy kept a close eye on Li Ze's movements, and always kept an eye out for players behind him to block the pick-and-roll, but Li Ze faced the old All-Star, and his style of play was unusually simple and rough.
Noticing that his teammates were in position on the baseline, Li Ze first dribbled under his crotch outside the three-point line, noticed that Roy stood with his feet parallel, and then suddenly lowered his body and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
At the moment when Roy slid backwards, Li Ze completed a large change of direction in front of his body, and his right hand paused slightly, making Roy's defensive center of gravity instantly move to the right, and then without waiting for the opponent to react, Li Ze completed a large change of direction in front of his body again.
After the double change of direction, Roy completely lost his defensive position, and watched Li Ze break through to the paint area with the ball in his left hand, Marcus Camby's assistance defense was very fast, and at the moment when the opponent's defense just caught up, Li Ze swayed left and right, dexterously took a large European step, easily shook off the defense, and picked up the basket on the right side of the basket!
"Oh!"
The Russian fans at the scene all screamed, and then the Ford Center Arena erupted in huge cheers, Li Ze's shaking was really exciting!
[Dribble Master] + [Ball Control Master] + [Emergency Stop Master] Facing a defender like Roy is simply a mess, and the former All-Star's knee can no longer support him to complete a fast lateral move.
Coupled with the buff of [Enter the Rhythm], Li Ze continuously attacked his defensive front support feet, and the perfect rhythm of ball control directly shook Roy into a stake.
Rudy Fernandez on the side saw Li Ze smiling and retreating, and wanted to tell Roy directly that it was best to replace him to defend, but he couldn't say anything in his heart, which really hurt his self-esteem a little...
The Trailblazers attacked, Roy held the ball and dribbled through the half court and was immediately defended by Li Ze's strict defense, and he couldn't get rid of it twice, Roy found that he was pressed to the right sideline by Li Ze's defense, at this time he could only break through on the left side, but was firmly covered by Li Ze, and finally Roy was forced to stop the ball.
Gerard Wallace hurriedly stepped forward to answer, but Roy's pass was easily predicted by Li Ze, at the moment of the ball, Li Ze easily intercepted with his right hand, controlled the ball, and quickly rushed through the half court and went straight into the penalty area.
Ignoring Gerard Wallace and Roy, who were chasing behind him, just one step past the free throw line, Li Ze took off directly from a distance, glided briefly in the air, slammed the ball with his right hand, and then smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" After the steal, the windmill dunked it.
After landing, Li Ze first took the opportunity to pose to the camera under the basket, and then high-fived the fans in the front row to celebrate, but before he could return to defense, Coach McMillan directly asked for a timeout.
Li Ze was a little surprised, after all, the second quarter of the game had just begun, but when he saw Roy with a face, he instantly understood that the Trail Blazers might have to replace the outdated All-Star who was not in good shape.
"Fack!"
Back on the bench, Brandon Roy scolded directly, and was replaced by the head coach after less than two minutes of play, which was unacceptable for him, and the atmosphere group of the Trail Blazers did not dare to speak out, they were all big guys, and they couldn't afford to mess with them, so they could only eat melons silently.
McMillan naturally noticed Roy's emotions, but that's the way it is in competitive sports, if you want to win, sometimes you can't care about face, and once again a simple admonition to Andre Miller, this timeout was completed.
After returning from a timeout, Aldridge singled Ibaka in the low post under the basket, and the Thunder quickly served the baseline ball, and Lizzes signaled to play a "V" attack.
After Sofrosa and Daquain Cook were in the left and right corners, Ibaka came to the left elbow of the free throw line to block the pick-and-roll, and Rudy Fernandez chose to stick to the guard in order to squeeze through the screen.
Ibaka saw Li Ze's hand signal, and immediately moved to the three-point line, after standing still, Li Ze pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, and then suddenly dribbled twice in a row behind his back, shaking off Fernandez's moment, quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and broke through on the right side.
Fernandez's defense has not been completely out of position, and he still wants to continue to squeeze through the defense, and just about to increase the physical confrontation, Li Ze, who is holding the ball in his right hand, has a large turn, sticking to Ibaka's body, and accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.
Aldridge saw that Li Ze had completed another pass, and immediately helplessly raised his hands to raise the defense, and at the moment when Fernandez was in place, Li Ze directly sent a hidden back-hitting pass with his left hand.
The ball passed between the two and was pinpointed to Ibaka, who received the ball and clasped it with both hands!
"Ahh
After completing the dunk, Ibaka stood under the basket and beat his chest and roared, while the head coach of McMillan on the sidelines was a little speechless, how to defend? Seeing Fernandez standing on the three-point line, he immediately shouted at his players to keep their defensive attention:
"Hey! Stick to the defensive strategy you have developed! Hold the pace! β
The Trail Blazers players heard the coach's encouragement and performed well on the offensive end, but every time it came to the defensive round, Li Ze either scored or assisted.
Especially when Li Ze faced Fernandes' defense, dribbled back after receiving the ball, and scored three points against the defense, the Trail Blazers broke the defense against everyone, why is your score so simple?
Li Ze didn't celebrate too much, and he felt very good about the game at this time, especially after adjusting to Fernandes' defense, and it was easy to guess the opponent's defensive intentions.
The Trailblazers' offense became a little impatient, and after a few hits, Li Ze directly led the Thunder team to play a wave of 8:0, such a performance made the Russian fans on the scene completely look hi, crushing the game, everyone's favorite!
After Durant and Turtles came on the court, Coach Brooks did not replace Li Ze, who was getting better and better, which made him play almost the full second quarter, and the Thunder's furious offense almost completely destroyed the Trail Blazers.
At 21:34 in the second quarter, the Thunder won by 13 points in the first quarter, and at 45:65, the Thunder entered the second half with a 20-point lead.
Li Ze followed his teammates to the players' tunnel with a smile and a smile, he knew that the overall situation of this game had been decided, although he also wanted to score more points, but the 20-point lead was still too big, and he had to punch in early in the third quarter.
Li Ze was 6-of-6 in the 2nd quarter, including 2-of-2 three-pointers, and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter, plus 12 points on 6-of-7 in the first quarter, and scored 26 points in the half!
Several reporters from the Thunder team have begun to tweet frantically, Li Ze's performance is really outrageous, and many fans also tweeted, which made this little-regarded NBA TV live broadcast in the United States instantly get a lot of attention.
Due to the recent Thunder team's frequent three-quarter check-in, many Amerika's media reporters have shifted their attention and began to follow the trend to marvel at Rose's performance, but tonight, when everyone saw Li Ze's half-court data, they immediately understood that Rose and Li Ze may not be players at the same level...
That's a half-time stat against a playoff-caliber team! God possessed you!
In the third quarter of the game, as Li Ze guessed, the Trail Blazers only lasted for half a quarter, and Coach McMillan withdrew and began to replace the atmosphere group players, while Li Ze simply hit three shots in the third quarter, scored 6 points, and was replaced by the coaching staff.
In the end, Li Ze's data was fixed at 32 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 16 shots, and 32 points, which is outrageous!
Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, didn't feel much, he just felt a little sorry for his state, he obviously noticed that the Trail Blazers' defense was collapsing a little bit, if he played in the fourth quarter, threw a few three-pointers, maybe he could score and rush past 40...
"How did you do that? BroοΌ It's an incredible percentage of shots, and if you hadn't missed a shot in the first quarter, you might have been able to beat your all-goal record with just a few more minutes! God, I doubt I'm watching an NBA game! β
When Perkins saw Li Ze sitting down, he immediately sent Luo Quanf, he completely understood, this is Jin Thigh! As long as the Thunder's interior defense and rebounding do not collapse, there is a great hope for the championship!
"It's that simple to cover the ball, get rid of the defense, get the offense done, of course, maybe a bit of luck, you know, every player has a chance to get into a special situation, and that's when the blue frame is as wide as the sea!"
Li Ze's unpretentious appearance made everyone on the bench speechless, saying so easily, why didn't they feel that kind of look...
And Durant on the side no longer knows where to complain, he finds that he seems to be completely adapted to Li Ze's existence, the ball is not affected, and he can shake the pot at certain times, and when he holds the ball, Li Ze can play without the ball, and he can open up space in many tactics.
"When you think about it, you're really here to help me..."
Li Ze saw Durant sitting on the bench, looking pensive, thinking that the other party was a little unhappy that he didn't score enough, so he couldn't help but comfort him:
"It's okay, Kevin, it's not a big deal if you don't go to 20 once in a while, the main thing is that the score difference is too big, so there's no need to consume too much energy for a game like this."
At this time, the turtle turtle also said aloud:
"The next game is against the Warriors, so we can take the opportunity to score more points, so that the average of the two games is about the same!"
ββ¦ I don't care about the stats, it's good to win, I'm thinking about the next games, I don't know if we can get 70 wins this season. β
Hearing the words of the two, Durant said insincerely.
"It doesn't matter if you win 70 wins, everyone will only remember 72 wins, the first place is always worth remembering, the second place is not interesting, anyway, the schedule is friendly, let's just play normally."
Speaking of this record, Li Ze is also a little helpless, 72 wins is still too difficult, as long as he can get 68 wins this season, he is very satisfied, such a record is enough for him to win the MVP.
In the midst of several people's chats, the game time also flew by, and in the end, 91-114, the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers at home.
The atmosphere group of heavy punches was merciless, which also made the Trail Blazers, who lost by a large score, simply shake hands and leave directly, and they were collapsed at halftime, which was too embarrassing...
And Li Ze's outrageous performance once again made Amika's media reporters pay attention to him again.
That night, ESPN and TNT began to discuss Li Ze's stats wildly, ESPN just blindly blew it, cooperated with the league, and built momentum for the MVP award later, but TNT fired at the outside rules again.
Charles Barkley is starting to miss the iron-blooded basketball of the past again:
"When an outside player hits an inside player, it's a big indication of the league's problems, and in the past, it's unlikely, Kayce is good, but the rules really helped him a lot!"
"Under the same rules, the other outside players didn't play like Kayce, as he said before, Special one, he's special, the rules are fine, maybe Kayce is too strong!"
Kenny Smith said a different point of view, and host Earnie Johnson nodded in agreement and said in agreement:
"If you look at the numbers, Kayce is the strongest player on the outside of all leagues, and compared to the positional players, he crushes Kobe and Wade, and he is the No. 1 scoring guard this season, there is no doubt about it!"
"Of course, from an ornamental point of view, the league may not need to change the rules, Kayce has a gorgeous style of play and is loved by the fans, but if from a competitive point of view, when a player is too strong, the league should probably consider introducing some rules, and this has happened before, hasn't it?"
Charles Barkley suddenly smiled when he heard the point of view of the two, and then said loudly:
"I've got a brilliant idea, guys, as long as you change the Hand Check rules back, the outside players will be extremely restricted, it's simple, isn't it, there are no complicated rules at all!"
"Whimsical!"
"Even if the league agrees, the audience won't agree, and without the gorgeous Cross over, the audience won't buy it!"
"Add a little bit of confrontation, the game is just as exciting, do you think the NBA in the 90s was not good?"
The three quarreled again, and this episode of TNT also caused widespread discussion among fans, the NBA in the 90s was really good!
However, the heated discussion in the media still can't change the rules of the league after all, not to mention that President David Stern is still worried about the shutdown, but he doesn't have time to pay attention to any outside rule changes...
The Thunder didn't pay much attention to the news, and Perkins was already physically fit to participate in the team's joint practice, so the coaching staff recently added some training sessions to try to run in the roster more before the playoffs.
On March 29, the Thunder welcomed the Golden State Warriors at home, their last home game of the month.
The Warriors currently have a 32-42 record, and are basically certain to miss the playoffs, compared to last season, the Warriors have also made a lot of progress, and 32 wins show that they are on the right track!
In the evening's game, the Ford Center Arena was once again full, and the back-to-back home wins made the fans of the city more and more enthusiastic.
Monta Ellis seemed to be back into Mamba form after the opening.
Li Ze speculated that perhaps it was the recent media discussion of the No. 1 scoring guard that stimulated this ...
The average player thinks very simply, since you ignore me, then I have to show myself, while the advanced players will buy the media, do marketing, business leagues, and sometimes the American knife can do a lot of things!
Monta Ellis was fast, with the help of David Lee's block, the ball in his left hand went straight to the basket, Li Ze quickly squeezed through the cover and chased the defense behind, while Ibaka, who switched in place, raised his right hand side high and tried to interfere with the opponent's shot.
Under the defense of the two, Monta Ellis did not choose to attack reluctantly this time, but suddenly split the ball in the middle of the march and gave it directly to David Lee, who was down.
The latter received the ball, jumped and rushed into the basket, and shook off Ibaka with a simple false shake, David Li Gang wanted to put the basket easily with his left hand, but Li Ze behind him saw the opportunity and refused directly!
"Smack!"
After a strong block, the ball bounced straight away, but fortunately, Perkins had a good sense of position, controlled the ball, and then immediately passed the ball to the turtles, and the Thunder launched a transition attack.
As soon as Li Ze rushed past the halfcourt, he received a pass from the turtle, dribbled behind the back of his left hand in the middle of the march, and changed the rhythm of the dribble, Curry hurriedly adjusted the defensive center of gravity and stared closely at Li Ze's movements.
On the left wing outside the three-point line, in the face of the small man's defense, Li Ze's offensive method is very simple, slightly lowering the center of gravity of his body, putting his crotch on the spot twice in a row, and then accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Ignoring Curry, who was defending on his side, after crushing to the paint area, Li Ze, who was moving, relied on Curry with his left foot as the axis to complete the turn, easily came to the bottom left of the basket, and picked up the basket with his left hand!
"Bang! Swish! β
After hitting the board, the ball falls steadily into the basket.
Curry was in a state of being crushed throughout the whole process, although his defensive pace was not slow, but the difference in height and weight between the two made it impossible for him and Ben to interfere with Li Ze at all.
Li Ze smiled with relief, and Curry was in the opposite position, he finally experienced the thrill of the tank breakthrough, and it was over when he crushed it! There is no need for any bells and whistles.
Curry was annoyed in his heart, counting this ball, Li Ze had already easily completed three attacks on his side, and each time it was an unreasonable crushing breakthrough, and he had nothing to do about it.
The Thunder played very simple in this game, and it was immediately a pistol tactic in the middle of the half, Ibaka or Perkins lifted the block, Li Ze and the turtle cooperated with each other, and the two had the opportunity to play Curry, and the opportunity was not good to continue to pass the ball online, and Durant's side was also misplaced...
After quickly sending out the baseline ball, Curry dribbled across the half court and quickly played a pick-and-roll with Epai Yudu outside the three-point line, noticing that Perkins' defense was still shrinking under the basket, Curry got rid of the turtle's defense and scored two points easily.
The Thunder team didn't care either, the fast-paced game was their favorite, quickly sending out the baseline ball, and the turtle rushed when he got the ball.
After blocking and dismantling in the high position, he accelerated in a straight line with the ball in his right hand, easily entered the inside line, jumped with both feet, and after the aerial confrontation, his left hand flashed the block of Apai Yudu, and the basket was successful!
"Oh!"
The offensive battle made the Russian fans in the Ford Center Arena look hi, the two sides come and go, and the running offense makes the fans addicted to watching.
At 25:32, with an efficient offense, the Thunder led by seven points in the first quarter.
In the rotation lineup of the second quarter, Monta Ellis continued to play, perhaps it was 3 of 7 in the first quarter that gave him confidence, and Monta Ellis continued to attack.
But when Li Ze lowered the tempo and strengthened the physical confrontation, the small guard's shooting rate plummeted, making 1 of 6 in a single quarter, leading the Warriors to 21 points...
At 21:33 in the first quarter, the Thunder easily won by 12 points, and after a wave, the Thunder entered the second half with a 19-point lead.
The third quarter almost turned into garbage time again, but the Warriors didn't change their main lineup until just over five minutes into the fourth quarter when head coach Keith Smart made a change to the atmosphere team.
In the end, 100:116, the Thunder easily defeated the Warriors at home, and Li Ze, who clocked in in the third quarter, got 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
After the game, the Ford Center Arena was still noisy, and noticing that Curry didn't have much frustration after the loss, Li Ze immediately teased:
"Be careful that the manager takes the ball away from you in the next game, maybe you should be a little frustrated."
"Actually, everyone already knows that we will change the manager next season, so, you know!"
Ellis is leaving, the head coach is changing, Curry has been in a good mood lately, and he only smiled and raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Ze's words.
Seeing Curry's eyebrows dancing, Li Ze couldn't help but think of Klay, who participated in this year's draft, played well in the NCAA, and according to the inertia of history, maybe the Splash Brothers will be born.
On March 30, the Thunder's crowd flew to Phoenix, where they will take on the Suns back-to-back tonight.
Maybe it's because of the sound of the journey, the Thunder's outside shooting rate dropped dramatically in the game that night, and the three-point shot came to 2 of 18, and these two three-pointers were thrown in by Li Ze.
At 98:110, the Suns, who rotated multiple people, fought bravely and successfully protected their home court.
After the game, in the Thunder locker room, Durant was a little depressed, he was 8 of 18 in the game, including 0 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and only got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists...
After seeing Li Ze's 9 of 17, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 turnover, Durant couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and the shooting rate exceeded 5 again...
And the turtle, who scored 16 points, is calculating the opponents he may face in the playoffs over and over again.
"If the Hornets and Grizzlies have the same record, who is going to finish in 8th place?"
The turtle suddenly asked, everyone was stunned, Li Ze thought about it, and then said:
"With the same record, the Grizzlies should be in No. 7 position, but there are seven games left in April, so you don't have to think about opponents so early."
"Anyway, I don't like playing against these two teams, every time they keep the number of rounds very low, and considering the scale of the playoffs, once you get to the opponent's home court, it will definitely be very difficult to play."
Durant withdrew from the lemon essence state, and as soon as he mentioned the playoffs, he immediately expressed his opinion, it was all his own person, and he didn't pretend, and the Grizzlies did restrain him.
"Don't worry, guys! With me, the inside line will definitely not suffer, even in the face of Randolph and Gasol, I am confident to protect the rebound! β
Perkins immediately patted his chest and made a guarantee, as soon as Li Ze heard this, he always felt that this was poisoned milk, and then thought of the knee injury of the champion center, Li Ze secretly muttered in his heart:
"Don't charge for another two hours, talk for two minutes, and carry the weight forward in the west, that's really fatal..."
The Thunder continued their road trip in April, opening the season with back-to-back home games after a brief make-up.
In order to ensure the health of the main players and back-to-back games, Coach Brooks has reduced the playing time of the trio.
On the night of the 1st, at the Rose Garden Arena, the Trail Blazers fans were cheering loudly for Aldridge's goal.
With 2:02 left in the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers still maintained a 13-point lead, and Li Ze didn't expect the opponent to play so fiercely, especially Aldridge, who almost completely blew up Ibaka and Perkins.
This made the champion center a little embarrassed, Perkins just boasted about Haikou the day before yesterday, but he was slapped in the face in less than two days, fortunately, his face was dark, as long as he kept a straight face, ordinary people could not notice the change in his expression.
Coach Brooks shook his head on the sidelines, and this situation was actually expected by the coaching staff, in the Western Conference, every playoff team has an All-Star big man.
In contrast, the Thunder's roster structure is a bit strange, almost all of the interior players are tool people, and the core players are all on the outside.
Taking the initiative to ask for a timeout, Brooks head coach replaced the main player, and the team has entered the state of adding free throws, as long as the Trail Blazers continue to play the interior step by step, they can basically win the game, considering that there is still a game to play tomorrow, they will not continue to struggle.
At 96:106, the Trail Blazers got their revenge at home.
Li Ze played 37 minutes in this game, and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover and 1 block, Durant regained his crosshairs, and efficiently cut 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers, while Turtle Turtle entered the sewer and only got 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers.
On April 2, the Thunder flew directly to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers back-to-back away games, which should have been a good welfare bureau, but after the end of the first quarter, the score was 22:30.
The turtle turtle came with a 5 in 0 in a single quarter, and almost directly brought down the Thunder team, and the middle distance that could be easily scored in the past was all inaccurate in the past two days, which directly made Li Ze dumbfounded.
In the rotation stage, the main interior line of the Clippers who saw the dawn of the winning rate followed, and Griffin and Andrew Jordan were also a little upbeat at this time, and they were going to win over Li Ze! The other three made substitutions, with Randy Foye, Craig Smith and Al Farouk Aminu coming off the bench.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and Craig Smith saw Li Zeyun pass the half, and immediately lowered his center of gravity, pulled his shorts, and hammered the floor again, stacking himself with buffs, and posing as a defensive expert.
Seeing this series of actions, seeing Li Ze speechless, he observed the defensive position of the Clippers, Li Ze gestured to his teammates, signaling everyone to sink on the bottom line.
At the top of the arc, Li Ze continued to dribble under his crotch and change direction in front of his body, and his body shook confusingly with the rhythm of the dribble, Craig Smith was a little confused at this time, and he couldn't predict Li Ze's offensive style at all.
Seeing Li Ze's body suddenly swaying to the left sharply, Craig Smith hurriedly slid forward, the opponent's defensive center of gravity moved, Li Ze instantly changed direction in front of his body, easily shook off the defense, and at the same time lowered the center of gravity of his body, and pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand.
Craig Smith was completely stunned at this time, and the center of gravity of the defense kept moving with the rhythm of Li Ze's dribbling, and while sliding backwards, he found that Li Ze suddenly crossed the dribble and pulled back.
Seeing that Li Ze had retreated to outside the three-point line, Craig Smith was in a hurry, and subconsciously pounced, and when his body did not fully react, this pounce made him directly hit the street, and fell in front of Li Ze...
"Oh!!"
At the Staples Arena, the audience cheered excitedly, and Li Ze adjusted his breathing at this time, so he jumped outside the three-point line in a hurry:
"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.
Although it is the home court of the Clippers, it is obvious that the fans here prefer to watch Li Ze play, and the Thunder bench is also called at this time, and towels are thrown everywhere.
Li Ze noticed that the bells and whistles defending his player still fell to the ground and did not stand up, and couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Man! Did you just fall too hard? β
β...β
Craig Smith didn't want to talk anymore, he felt a lot of pain in his ankle, and after standing up, he simply moved twice, found that his ankle seemed to be twisted very badly, and immediately raised his hand to Coach Winnie Denarog on the sidelines to signal that he couldn't hold on to the game.
Such a situation was naturally noticed by the audience again, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim again, Ankle Terminator!
"Ho! Li Ze's continuous shaking is really incredible! Directly shook the ankle of the opposing defender! The snapping shaking looks so smooth! β
The game between the Thunder team and the Clippers team, CCTV Sports also naturally broadcast, at this time, Director Zhang entered Li Zechui mode again, although the host Yang Jian spoke quickly, but he couldn't interject for a while.
Eric Gordon volunteered to stand up, he especially wanted to win over Li Ze once, Coach De Nagro waved his hand, and the main force continued to pick, maybe he won that!
The Clippers attacked, Eric Gordon and Griffin held the ball to accelerate with all their might after blocking and dismantling, and it felt as if they had gotten rid of Li Ze's defense, Eric Gordon went straight to the basket, picked up the ball and was about to dunk, just stretched his body in the air, and the moment he used his right hand, he found that a big hand appeared on the ball.
"Smack!"
After the aerial confrontation, Li Ze directly flipped Eric Gordon's hat to the ground, and in the cheers of the audience, Li Ze controlled the ball and quickly launched a conversion attack.
Randy Foye wanted to step forward to delay, but was directly dodged by your fancy turn, and Griffin had already retreated to the basket at this time, seeing that Li Ze did not slow down and went straight to the basket, Griffin was overjoyed and quickly jumped up to intercept.
Li Ze, who took off with the momentum, twisted his body in the air with the help of the power of acceleration, turned 180 degrees, deftly flashed Griffin's block, and made a layup with his left hand!
"What a ball! Li Ze's goal was really beautiful, turning in the air to dodge the cover, although Griffin jumped very high, but he didn't expect Li Ze to use such a move at all, it's really amazing! β
As soon as the host Yang Jian's words fell, Director Zhang on the side also said with a smile:
"It's an interesting game! 8 points difference, two rounds, there are 3 points left! The Clippers still have to give the ball to the inside, and the guards continue to play nonsense, and then the Thunder will be able to chase the game back. β
Li Ze and Griffin landed almost at the same time, and when they saw each other looking at him in surprise, Li Ze immediately smiled and said:
"Next time, remember not to jump early, jumping high does not mean that you can cover the ball!"
The continuous wonderful goals completely ignited the atmosphere of Staples Arena, and many Clippers fans directly defected and began to cheer for Li Ze.
After Randy Foye dribbled through the half court again, he honestly gave the ball to Griffin on the inside, and in the face of Ibaka's defense, Griffin chose to attack in the low post.
After pretending to go on the line, he suddenly turned around and closed the ball, and although he carried Ibaka away with his body, Griffin's pick-up was still interfered with, and finally knocked out of the basket.
Collison received the rebound and passed it to Li Ze, the Thunder launched a conversion offense again, the Clippers hurriedly retreated, Eric Gordon has been delaying on his side, but the height difference between the two makes it difficult for him to really affect Li Ze's dribbling.
Outside the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly slowed down, made a strong dribble on the spot with his left hand, and then quickly changed direction under his hips, while shaking his body to the right, he dribbled with his right hand with a large back, and then used his foot to retreat outside the three-point line, ignoring Eric Gordon's block, and drifting three points to make a quick shot.
"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.
After landing on the ground, Eric Gordon was numb, he had tried his best to pounce, but Li Ze could throw the ball in when he drifted, which made him a little broken, too outrageous!
Staples Arena erupted in huge cheers, buy cheap tickets, watch exciting games, and make money! As for the fans of the Clippers, they have completely turned their back on at the moment.
"Gordon, I really don't like to play you one-on-one, you know, it's always a disadvantage for a small guard against me, and I'll have Russell play you a few rounds when I have time."
Seeing that the other party looked stunned, Li Ze didn't make a mockery, after all, the relationship between the two is not bad, and the apparent brothers have to continue to be brothers, but Eric Gordon heard Li Ze's words, and his heart was even more depressed, this is not treating him as an opponent at all...
In less than three minutes, Li Ze has scored 8 points and tied the point difference for the Thunder, which is the difference between the fish belly team and the playoff team, and the two sides are not at the same level in execution at all.
After the Trail Blazers take the lead, they will choose to lower the tempo, firmly control the mistakes, and try to give the ball to the inside, while the Clippers' defensive resources and players' ability to execute tactics are obviously discounted, as long as they hold a few rounds, the Thunder can easily overtake the score.
In the next game, although the Clippers also wanted to lower the tempo and hit the ball inside, but after consecutive misses, the Thunder team grabbed several opportunities to counterattack, Li Ze led his teammates to play a small climax of 6:0, less than half a quarter, the Thunder 14:0...
Coach Brooks has returned to the bench, he knows that the game has entered the rhythm of the Thunder, as long as the third quarter of the game is renewed, this game is likely to be won, back-to-back 1-1, and it is also in line with the coaching staff's pre-game expectations.
With 3 minutes and 51 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Ze was substituted, and Turtle and Durant returned to the court, and then although Turtle Turtle was still in the sewer, there was another 3 in 0, but fortunately, Durant was still stable, and the point difference remained at 6 points.
By the end of the half, at 52:46, the Thunder had successfully turned the tide and allowed the Clippers to score only 16 points in the second quarter.
At the start of the second half, the Turtle completely abandoned the outside range and began to attack the interior in a row, and Andrew Jordan quickly paid the price for his frivolous defense, and just halfway through the third quarter, he had already received his fourth foul.
Staples Arena, at this time has become the home of the Thunder, every time Li Ze completes an offense, the scene will erupt in huge cheers, in such an atmosphere, the Clippers completely collapsed, directly by the Thunder played a wave of 16:7, the difference suddenly came to 15 points, the game is completely gone.
The fourth quarter of the game was almost all reduced to garbage time, and Eric Gordon and Griffin both had some frustration, and after leading by 8 points in the first quarter, they were easily overturned in two straight quarters, and this way of losing was a little difficult for them to accept.
In the end, 110-94, the Thunder easily reversed the game and defeated the Clippers back-to-back.
Li Ze efficiently scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover, 2 steals and 1 block in this game, Durant also got 28 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 turnovers and 1 steal, and the turtle in the sewer was 1 of 12 in the game, and only scored 10 points from the free throw...
The trio scored 66 points, which can barely be regarded as a normal performance, but fortunately, Ibaka had a good performance on both offensive and defensive ends tonight, otherwise the Thunder would never have won so easily.
After the game, Griffin, who had adjusted his mood, found Li Ze with a smile again, who had completely adapted to life in Los Angeles and invited Li Ze to his party again:
"Kayce, come to my side tomorrow night, private party, I promise that Steviano will not be there!"
Although Li Ze felt that there must be something wrong with this guy's party, considering that the Thunder team was going to rest in Los Angeles for two days, this face still had to be given:
"No problem! As long as that one doesn't show up, let's have fun, be careful not to recruit Hollywood reporters, and you don't want to see the other party report any ridiculous news about star players! β
Griffin immediately patted his chest, with an expression of "I am doing things, you are relieved", the two tacitly hugged each other, and Li Ze returned to the locker room after completing a group photo with many front-row audiences.
The Thunder team has 6 games left, because the next game will be away to challenge the Nuggets, so the coaching staff decided to rest directly in Los Angeles for two days, and fly straight to Denver on the 5th.
"If you don't stay in the hotel, remember to send me a text message, don't forget that we still have 6 games to play, although there is no pressure on the record, but we also have to keep in good shape, and you don't want to lose on the day of the award ceremony!"
Although the turtle entered the sewer tonight, he was still happy after the win, and was the first to respond to the manager's words:
"Haha, don't worry, coach! Playing at home, we're going to win easily! β
"Champion of the West! It's a little exciting to think about it, if I make it to the finals again, I can blow it for the rest of my life. β
"On the day of the awards, the atmosphere must have been very good, and the fans in Russia had already started to prepare."
The teammates were talking about the award ceremony, and Li Ze couldn't help but smile with relief, after working hard for a season, he was finally able to get a phased harvest!
After returning to the hotel, Li Ze sent a message to Anne first, and after a simple shower, he lay directly on the big bed, and at midnight, in the dream training space, Li Ze saw that there was only a golden badge in the achievement room, and he was a little disappointed:
Achievement Badge [Infinite Takeoff]: 2/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)
Enhance the success rate of players starting to dunk or layup from a longer starting distance, recover a little physical strength after successfully finishing the offense, and reduce the physical burden caused by the movement.
Seeing the new attributes of this X-badge, Li Ze couldn't help but start to think of the scene of switching to fast attack in the future:
"Perhaps, I can start trying to dunk at the free-throw line, this is really a weapon with X!"
