The 2010~2011 NBA regular season is coming to an end, and the situation of the playoffs in the Eastern and Western Conferences is basically clear.

The San Antonio Spurs currently have a 58-19 record, and with five games left in the regular season, even if the Thunder lose all of them, the Spurs will still be in second place with the win.

In this case, Popovich is back in the proper rotation, followed by the Dallas Mavericks, who are four wins behind the Spurs, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who are five wins behind.

At present, the competition for the third and fourth places is still relatively fierce, and the Spurs are also firmly seated in the Diaoyutai, as long as they win the next two games, they can basically lock the second place.

The fifth-placed Denver Nuggets are five wins behind the Lakers and have no hope of squeezing into the top half, but they are only two wins ahead of the sixth-place Trail Blazers, so they can't afford to rest on their remaining few games if they want to keep their fifth place.

The most suspenseful position in the West is the seventh and eighth place, the Hornets and Grizzlies currently have the same record, and at the same time only two wins behind the sixth-place Trail Blazers, so the two sides fought very fiercely in the final stage, and both sides did not want to meet the Thunder in the first round, after all, the trio is in too good shape, and if you are not careful, you will have to travel in the first round...

Compared with the West, teams in the bottom half of the East basically do not have to face very fierce competition, so to speak, they can enter the playoffs lying down.

On April 3, the Pacers, who are eighth in the East, lost again, with a 35-43 record so far, and although the record looks very stretched, they are still two wins ahead of the Bucks in ninth place.

In the next four games, unless the Pacers lose all of them, they will most likely lie down in the playoffs, which is the competitive environment in the East, which is almost about to become a big game.

Although the teams in the lower half of the region have generally collapsed, there is still suspense in the top half of the East, and the Bulls currently have a 56-20 record, ranking first in the East, two wins ahead of the Heat.

The Heat are getting better and better, so head coach Tom Thibodeau doesn't dare to relax in the slightest, and the Bulls have to go all out for the remaining six games for the sake of home-court advantage in the playoffs.

The Miami Heat did not give up, and the Big Three failed to show crushing dominance, so Coach Spo did not shorten the playing time of the main lineup for the sake of home court advantage, and the liver was over!

The Celtics are three wins behind the Heat, and four wins ahead of the fourth-place Magic, and Coach Rivers is quite satisfied with this ranking, so in the remaining games, Rivers has also begun to rotate the Big Three, especially Garnett, who is older and of course has to save some use...

The Magic team in the first half of the region is 8 wins ahead of the Hawks, and has basically locked the 4th place, and the current 5~8 places are, Hawks, Knicks, 76ers, and Pacers.

Considering the Bucks' stretching record, the four teams in the bottom half of the table are basically under no pressure, and if they don't want to pursue the record, for them, the rest of the games will be adjusted.

ESPN's Sports Center has begun to warm up for the playoffs, and commentators from all walks of life have begun to make their own predictions, and the major awards of the regular season have been the topic of crazy discussion recently.

Especially in this season's best lineup, the guard line is very strong, and in the case that Li Ze has already locked a spot, it has become a question who will be selected for a team of Kobe, Wade, and Rose.

After all, the MVP of the regular season will definitely be selected for the first team, Li Ze occupies the pit in advance, and Kobe Bryant is the most affected.

Rose and Wade are basically similar to Kobe Bryant's data, and when they both average 25 points per game, the three of them lead the team almost the same, which makes it a little difficult for Amerikata media reporters to choose, after all, Excel is about the same, what should I do?

The media in Los Angeles have recently jumped up and down and started to build momentum for Kobe, if Kobe really won three consecutive championships, but failed to be selected to the first team, then this selection will become a joke! Hurry up and give the volute a place!

The media in Chicago have long looked at Los Angeles as unpleasant, and they don't buy it at all, and the arrogant Lakers have come to loan the championship again! If Kobe Bryant can't even make it to the Western Conference Finals, then this award will become a complete joke! The future belongs to Ross! Must be selected for a while!

The media in Miami also did not admit defeat, as Wade's horse, everyone also began to loan championships for the Heat, the championship guard is worth a while, the Heat are about to dominate the league, take the best team you!

With little left in the regular season, the media in the three places took the lead in opening up the group, and unlike the small ball market, these three teams also have a deep fan base, so under the leadership of the local media, the fans of the three parties also directly pinched.

That is, the Thunder's record is too good, otherwise with the addition of the household registration book and fan base, Li Ze has to put a question mark on whether he can win the MVP...

Because Anne went out with her mentor, Li Ze, who was resting in Los Angeles, completely let go of himself, first participated in Griffin's private party, played fancy ball, and then went to the Los Angeles nightclub with his teammates, and practiced a ball holding breakthrough training, fortunately, the physical fitness guaranteed by A-level functional drinks, otherwise he would definitely have to be tired and break his waist!

On April 5th, on the plane to Denver, Li Ze was still full of vitality, and his frequent training with the ball had no effect on him at all, while Durant seemed sluggish, and the turtle even covered his head and slept on the plane, and then looked at other people, it was not much better...

"That's the influence of the big ball market? The media in Los Angeles have all gone crazy these days, the regular season has not ended, and they have talked about the three consecutive championships, and many people still agree with it, Shet! The Lakers are only fourth in the West, where do they get their confidence? ”

Because he stayed in Los Angeles for two days, Durant had the local newspaper in his hand, and then thought that in recent days, the major sports media have begun to be optimistic about the Lakers again, and Durant is once again lemon essence.

Li Ze looked at the professional course books in his hand, and said without raising his head:

"Because they're the defending champions! And the Lakers have indeed won three consecutive championships, so this is particularly convincing, and with Kobe's influence, it is not surprising that the media in Los Angeles has made such statements. ”

Durant observed a circle and saw that his teammates were confused, so he whispered to Li Ze beside him:

"The energy of the media reporters in Russia is too poor, and the local media has no influence!"

"After all, the team's predecessor was the Seattle SuperSonics, and they just moved to Russia, so the situation certainly can't be compared to those big ball cities, but you can also think about it from another angle, we are reshaping the team culture of the Thunder, isn't it very rewarding to think about it?"

Duran didn't think so, big contracts, big cities, has always been his pursuit, although he doesn't know what the future holds, but his original intention remains the same, but in order to maintain his own personality, Durant catered and said:

"It's a wonderful thing to change the culture of the city, and I hope to get back to Russia soon, I can't wait to play in the playoffs!"

After Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups left the Nuggets, the team's record didn't collapse immediately, and head coach George Carr still had a few brushes, he directly promoted Ty Lawson to the starting lineup, and the traded Felton became a backup point guard again.

Gallinari and Wilson Chandler have also gradually adapted to life in Denver, and the fans here are still very welcoming, although playing in the plateau has really allowed them to adapt for a while, and as the playoffs approach, the Nuggets are getting better and better.

On the night of the 5th, the Pepsi Center arena in Denver was full, and in the cheers of the fans, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder team who was not in good shape, and with their excellent athleticism, the five big and one small lineup completely restrained the Thunder team.

Coach Brooks noticed that his players were not in good shape, so he began to make personnel changes in the second half of the third quarter.

After trailing by 12 points, the trio continued to play in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately in the chase stage, the Thunder's defense had a little problem, and the difference began to fluctuate around 8 points when the defense could not limit the opponent.

At 98:106, the Nuggets managed to keep their home court.

Li Ze still played steadily, efficiently scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, Durant 26 points, Turtle 20 points, and the trio almost directly covered all the points.

Hearing the noisy sound of the scene and looking at the technical statistics in his hand, Li Ze frowned slightly, in the case of Ibaka and Perkins starting, the rebounds still lost to the opponent by 6, such data must be paid attention to.

Seeing Li Ze's serious expression, the turtle turtle immediately comforted him:

"It's okay, Kayce! After the game against the Clippers the day after tomorrow, we have one more game against the Nuggets at home, and then we will win it back! ”

"Of course, we have to win back, finally the away game, we can also take a good rest when we return to Russia, the first in the regular season, although there is no official award ceremony, but the last home stadium, the team will also organize related activities, we also have to adjust the state of the game, and it will be embarrassing to lose at that time."

When everyone in the locker room heard Li Ze's words, they all nodded one after another, winning the first place in the West, the NBA league will only issue a commemorative flag, which is similar to last year's Northwest Division championship flag as a whole, anyway, there is no sense of ceremony.

In such a situation, in order to give back to the fans, the Thunder team presented themselves with awards, although the scene was a little funny, but for the small ball market in Russia, this is very memorable, and there is nothing wrong with entertaining yourself, and winning at home is also the best gift for the fans.

On April 6, the Thunder, who returned to their home court, easily defeated the Clippers 98-112 at home.

After a day of rest, the Thunder team took revenge again at home, 89:110, and beat the Nuggets.

The trio returned to their usual efficiency in both games, scoring 80 points in both games, once again making Amerika's media sing praises.

On April 10th, the Thunder team visited Los Angeles again, they will challenge the Lakers away tonight, because the third-place Mavericks, has opened up a win gap with the Lakers, in the case of catching up hopelessly, that night's game, Phil Jackson directly rotated Kobe.

This made Li Ze a little disappointed, the best team is about to start to be selected, at this time, if he beats Kobe Bryant head-on, he will definitely be able to add a lot of points to him, Phil Jackson, a bad old man, has come out again!

Li Ze, who was not in a beautiful mood, was full of firepower that night, completely devouring the Lakers' outside line alive, coupled with the heavy-handed Durant, the Thunder defeated the Lakers 120-96 on the road!

Li Ze was 11-of-16 from the field, including 4-of-6 from 3-pointers and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, and scored 29 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Durant also showed an outrageous shooting percentage, 11 of 15, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, and also scored 29 points, plus 22 points from the turtle, the trio combined for 80 points again, and this performance completely silenced the Los Angeles media...

Kobe Bryant, who was dressed in a formal suit, has been sinking since the Lakers fell behind, and after losing, he didn't say a word, and after a simple handshake, he turned his head and walked back to the locker room, and it was obvious that the black mamba was angry again.

After winning this game, the Thunder didn't have much time to adjust, flying straight to Sacramento on Day 2, where they will face the Kings on back-to-back games that night.

With the bearded balls completely rotten, the Kings were directly defeated in the third quarter, while Cousins didn't care about the outcome of the game at all, and he still dared to fight in garbage time.

Harden saw Cousins' performance off the court, and secretly pouted, the contradiction between the two has been completely laid out, plus next year is Harden's contract year, the Kings management may also make a choice.

At 121:102, the Thunder team playing away from home beat the opponent again, and the trio easily clocked in in the third quarter, and after winning this game, there was only one home game left in the regular season.

After the game, the bearded golfer found Li Ze with a depressed face, Harden is currently in a bad situation, and the Kings seem to be more optimistic about Cousins to the management, which makes Harden a little embarrassed, he has never competed for a budding newcomer!

"Kayce, I'll go to Ostra to cheer you on, I don't know how long this will last, I want to play in the playoffs too."

The bearded golfer saw that Li Ze had made a name for himself in the league, and his heart was full of envy.

The two have been on par since high school, although he always loses, but the statistics are also equal, after entering the NBA league, the situation is completely different, and now no one regards them as players of the same level...

"Thanks, Bro! You've been in the wrong mood lately, you have to be vocal in the locker room, you have to be more active on the court, next year is a contract year, if you want to stay with the Kings, you have to show the management your attitude, this club is really good! ”

When Harden heard the first half of Li Ze's words, he still looked serious, and when he heard the last sentence, he immediately smiled, everyone hasn't changed! The two hugged and greeted each other, and Li Ze walked back to the locker room after greeting for a long time.

On the evening of April 13th, the Ford Center Arena was once again sold, and the fans in the Russian city were ready for a happy party tonight.

The Bucks, who were playing away, had no intention of fighting, losing consecutive games in the final stage, and the playoff opportunities they got were finally handed over to the Pacers...

Brandon Jennings wanted to perform well and play proactively after the opening, but unfortunately the Mamba protégé played iron in a frame, and then made consecutive mistakes, making 1 of 6 in a single quarter, which directly led to the collapse of the Bucks.

At 16:32, the Thunder led by 16 points in the first quarter, which made the Russian fans on the scene more and more emotional, what is the first in the West! The spectators seated collectively tactically leaned back...

In the final regular season game, the team took another big lead, which made Coach Brooks feel very comfortable, and after the start of the second quarter, he gradually increased the rotation.

Eric Maynor, Daquane Cook, Byron Mulens, Nate Robinson, and Royer Nicky were also given the chance to make appearances.

In the hot atmosphere of the scene, the Bucks collapsed to the end and lost the game cleanly, 92:109, the Thunder team ended perfectly at home.

At this time, the Ford Center Arena has turned into a sea of jubilation, driven by the live DJ, many fans are shouting happily, from the belly team to the league's first in two seasons, which is a miracle for the small ball market in the city.

Home commentator Tewin made a temporary cameo appearance tonight, and at this time everyone from the Thunder came to the center of the field, except for a moment of fan activity, and now it is the poisoned milk session.

Coach Brooks took the microphone, first waved to the fans with a smile on his face, and then immediately said:

"Thank you so much for your support, it's been a perfect season for us, 69-13 and I feel like we've done a miracle!"

Hearing the words of Coach Brooks, the Russian fans on the scene burst into cheers again, and the Thunder equaled the 69-win record of the Lakers in the 71~72 season and the Bulls in the 96~97 season, and tied for second place in the league's best record, second only to the 72-win Bulls in the 95~96 season, which is undoubtedly a great achievement!

"It's too early to say thank you, I hope you will continue to support the Thunder, our journey has just begun!"

In the cheers of the scene, the temporary guest host Twin began to interview the players in the team again, and when Li Ze took the microphone, all the Russian fans at the scene shouted loudly:

“MVP！ MVP！ MVP！ ”

Li Ze kept applauding the audience around him, and when the sound gradually subsided, he said with a smile:

"Oh! You guys really are the best fans in the league and thank you again for your support, we got the first place in the league and we almost equalled the best record in the league, but that's not enough, like I said at the beginning of the season, we only have one goal this season, and that's the championship! This year, we will definitely bring the championship back to the city! ”

"Oh!"

Li Ze's somewhat arrogant words once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans of the Russian City were completely happy at this moment.

A simple activity to give back to the fans, so that everyone has a chance to speak briefly, and in everyone's crazy poisonous milk, Li Ze also laughed happily:

"The stage for the playoffs has been set, whoever is the protagonist, let's use basketball to speak!"

As the regular season comes to an end, the playoff situation in the East and West is also completely clear.

In the Western Conference, the Hornets led by Chris Paul managed to lead the Grizzlies by one win with an excellent performance in the final stage and took the 7th place, while the 5th and 6th places remained unchanged.

So the final matchup in the West is:

Thunder vs. Grizzlies, Lakers vs. Nuggets; Spurs vs. Hornets, Mavericks vs. Trail Blazers.

If all the teams in the first half of the region advance, the semifinals in the West will be directly full of topics, the grievances between the Thunder and the Lakers, and the bull and horse battles between the Mavericks and the Spurs.

Compared with the West, the final showdown of the Eastern League is also the same as previously expected:

Bulls vs. Pacers, Magic vs. Hawks; Heat vs. 76ers, Celtics vs. Knicks.

The Bulls finished with 62 wins, the second-highest record in the league this season, and although completely suppressed by Lee, Derrick Rose still received a lot of praise from the Amerika media.

Compared with the West, the biggest attraction in the East is the Heat, whether the Big Three can play a dominant playoff game in the first playoffs, which makes many fans look forward to the performance of the Heat.

On April 15th, the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean were all smiling, and the NBA league announced the leaders of the season's statistics.

Li Ze won the scoring title with an average of 28.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 turnovers, 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.

But the average score data per game is not enough to explain Li Ze's horror, 53.8% shooting, 38.1% three-point shooting, plus 87.3% free throw shooting rate, making Li Ze infinitely close to the 180 club!

Amika's media reporters and ball commentators have been completely confused, too violent, just 20 years old, about to enter the 180 club, there is no doubt at all, Li Ze will definitely be able to dominate the league in the future!

Kevin Love won the rebounding title, Steve Nash won the assist title, Bogut won the block title, and Chris Paul beat Rajon Rondo to win the assist title.

On the Tiger Fight Forum, the fans are celebrating the New Year directly, the scoring champion! Although he knew that Li Ze was fierce, the scoring champion close to the 180 club still made many fans dumbfounded.

"It's so awesome! I can't blow it anymore, I can only shout Li Zeniu X! ”

"Think about it again, there are still a lot of games that are clocked in the third quarter, and the data can no longer explain where Li Zeniu X is, the first score is well deserved, and some groups can stop touching porcelain."

"Hehe, it's just a false name, the Crouching Tiger playoffs have been stabilized, and this year it will be three consecutive championships, and the volute is about to surpass Jordan and become the first talent in history is the most bullish!"

"Here it is again, sit back and wait for the Western Conference semifinals to slap you in the face, the Lakers' regular season will not work, who gave you the courage to lend the championship? Look at Kobe's data, it's not comparable to Li Ze at all! ”

"The Thunder team is not easy to play in the first round, in the end, they still met the Grizzlies, it would be nice if they could play against the Hornets, the Grizzlies are still too strong inside."

"The main thing is that the game is not good-looking, and the Grizzlies are too slow!"

"Heat champion, I'm stable this year, the schedule is too easy!"

"Tsk, Jamie can really blow, he was killed twice in the regular season, and he won the championship!"

"Don't make any noise, wait for me to carry the news over, remember to leave a message, the scoring champion also has a trophy!"

The trophy of the scoring champion once again made Li Ze unable to complain, although when Durant won the award last year, Li Ze complained once, but seeing that this year is still a rectangular transparent crystal, Li Ze still feels that the league is not very concerned about this award...

Winning the award in Russia is also convenient for Amerika's media reporters to interview Li Ze, after all, the playoffs will start on the 17th, and the topic of this press conference is still the playoffs:

"Kayce, congratulations on winning this season's scoring title, the Grizzlies beat you in the regular season, can you briefly talk about what to expect in the playoffs?"

"The playoffs are completely different from the regular season, we're a more experienced team than the Grizzlies, after all, we made the Western Conference Finals last year, and the Grizzlies are a good team, but I don't think they're going to bother us!"

"Like I said before, the only thing that can limit me is the rules, and the day after tomorrow, we will completely destroy the Grizzlies on the outside."

In order to receive the award of the scoring champion, Li Ze was forced to put on a formal suit, although he looked like a handsome big boy next door at this time, but what he said was a little unkind, this kind of big guy pointed out the new attitude, which made the reporters in Memphis a little unhappy.

However, most of Amika's media reporters like Li Ze's answer, the more arrogant the better, so that there will be a topic, and then polish it, and you can easily make a big job...

"Against the Grizzlies' perimeter defense, will you change your fast-paced style of play?"

"Maybe Coach Brooks is better suited to answer questions like this, haha, wait until the pre-game press conference on the 17th, the coach will answer tactical questions!"

"Kayce, can you tell us what you think of the best team? Who do you think is better suited to be in the best team at the back? ”

"Wow! That's a good question, and if I had to vote, I'd vote for Derrick Rose, 62 wins, that's amazing, and Rose is the No. 1 spot, so, you know! ”

Li Ze's answer made many reporters' eyes light up again, to do things, you must do things crazily!

"Kayce, can you tell us a little bit about your personal life, are you really dating Shakira?"

“…”

On April 16th, the first round of the playoffs of the 2010~2011 season officially started, with a total of four games on the day, three in the East and one in the West.

All the games were uneventful, and as predicted, the teams in the top half generally won the game, with only the Magic and Hawks games being a big surprise.

With the Monster Howard scoring 46 points, 19 rebounds and 1 assist, the Magic still lost.

Joe Johnson and Li Ze performed crotch-pulling when they faced each other, but in the face, Nelson, Richardson, Turkoglou, the king of chickens turned into the king of the eagles in seconds, coupled with the excellent performance of super sixth man Jamal Crawford, 103:93, the Eagles beat the Magic team lightly.

There was no suspense in the rest of the game, the Bulls, Heat, and Mavericks all won easily, and the teams in the top half were very stable!

On the evening of April 17, the Thunder hosted the Grizzlies at home, and in the first game of the playoffs, Russian City fans entered early.

In the first round of the playoffs, the team's uniform team provided white cheering T-shirts to the home fans.

The style of this T-shirt is similar to last year's, it is still printed on the chest, and the overall atmosphere is simple and atmospheric, at this time the scene has become a sea of white, and the venue is extremely noisy.

Of course, this game was broadcast live in the United States, and on the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller and Steve Cole couldn't help but exclaim when they saw some frenzy at the scene:

"Compared to last year's playoffs, the enthusiasm of the fans in the city is undiminished, maybe this is the best home stadium in the league, look at these passionate fans, they will definitely be the best sixth man on the field!"

As a determined Li Zechui, Reggie Miller's ass has long been crooked on the side of the Thunder, Steve Kerr smiled slightly, and echoed:

"This kind of home court is also a test for the Grizzlies, in the Grizzlies, only Zachland Dove has experienced the playoffs, but that was a long time ago, when Randolph was still with the Trail Blazers, as a playoff rookie, the Grizzlies playing away may have to adjust their mentality!"

Commentator Kevin Harlan picked up the conversation at this point and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides:

"It's a shame that Rudy Gay may not be able to make the playoffs this year due to injury, and the two teams are still in the regular rotation tonight, with Hollins head coach still choosing Sam Young as the starting number three, and Brooks head coach also using Perkins, who has recently returned from injury, as the starting center."

After the starting list was confirmed, Steve Kerr immediately introduced the highlights of the game:

"Judging from the regular season encounters, the Grizzlies have a huge interior advantage, and tonight's game will see how the Thunder will perform on the inside after Perkins comes to the starting lineup!"

"Maybe tonight is going to be a defensive battle, lock on TNT, the game is about to begin!"

Through the regular season meeting, the two sides know each other's tactical play very well, and while many commentators believe that the absence of Rudy Gay has greatly reduced the strength of the Grizzlies, the Thunder's coaching staff does not dare to take it lightly.

The most noticeable change in the second half of the regular season for the Grizzlies was the distribution of the ball to the interior, with Randolph and Gasol completely freed up.

After just over three minutes of play, the fans of the Russian City were already worried about the team's interior, and seeing Randolph once again rely on his black and fat body to crush under the basket to complete the throw, the Ford Center immediately erupted in huge boos:

"Shh

9-9, the Grizzlies showed their resilience after the opening game.

"Very good defense, Sergi, control your fouls, don't worry about the team's offense!"

Taking advantage of the bottom line, Li Ze comforted Ibaka in this voice, facing the experienced Randolph, the new Ibaka is destined not to take advantage, as for Perkins, this is also a little powerless in the face of Gasol, the height gap is too big, a little unbearable...

After the turtle received the ball, dribbled through the half court, and immediately called his teammates to complete the position, the Thunder team did not blindly seek speed, considering the opponent's rebounding ability, once the iron is missed in a row, there is a high probability that the rebound will not be grabbed, so the offensive success rate after the opening is very important.

Durant, who was standing in the bottom right corner, moved first, relying on Ibaka's cover, to the right wing outside the three-point line to receive the ball, and after passing the ball, the turtle immediately cut inside to take away Michael Conley, who was defending him.

Sam Young's pursuit of defense was very fast, Durant just held the ball with his left hand, and the defense was already in place, and Li Ze in the three-second zone used Perkins' cover at this time to quickly come to the left blocking position, and after firmly blocking Tony Allen with his body, he immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball.

After Durant sent a high pass at the top of the arc, he immediately stayed where he was and opened up space for Li Ze to attack.

“OKC！ OKC！ OKC！ ”

In the rhythmic cheering sound of the scene, Li Ze, who received the pass, leaned back hard, and then quickly released the ball with his right hand, and hit it twice, at this time Tony Allen had already used his strength to prevent Li Ze from easily approaching the basket.

Although he couldn't get close to the basket, he had already found his offensive rhythm after two hits, his shoulders shook confusingly, and then with his left foot as the axis, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball back, his body quickly twisted forward, and he used his feet to exert force, ignoring Tony Allen's block, and threw a mid-range backward jumper.

The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

"Wonderful step-back jumper, most players in the league have abandoned this technology, but after seeing Kayce's performance, I believe that many players will choose to practice in the offseason, and the step-back jumper is sometimes unsolvable, see how Tony Allen reacts!"

Steve Cole smiled again and sent a word of praise to Li Ze.

The wonderful goal caused a huge cheer in the Ford Center Arena, and Li Ze chuckled at Tony Allen, and then immediately retreated, while signaling his teammates to continue to defend the 23 defense.

Coach Hollins on the sidelines frowned, after the opening, the Thunder did not pull the offensive rhythm fast like the regular season, nor did they shoot three-pointers frequently, but gave the ball more to the two blocking positions, which was completely different from what he guessed before the game.

What makes the Grizzlies coaching staff even more troublesome is that Tony Allen can't effectively limit Li Ze at all, and the indiscriminate attack of his left and right hands, coupled with the advantage of height, makes Li Ze a huge threat every time he catches the ball.

In the next few minutes, the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, and Coach Brooks could feel that the team's condition was getting better and better, although the team's interior defense was a little stretched, but Li Ze and Durant had not missed a shot after the opening, and this efficiency also made the coaching staff completely reassured.

At the official timeout, the score was 14:16, and on the Grizzlies' bench, Coach Hollins knew that a change had to be made, and in the midst of the noise at the Ford Center, Hollins raised his voice and shouted at his teammates:

"Toney, after that you defend Durant, Sam, you defend Lee, show your aggressiveness, don't be afraid of fouls, Game 1, we're going to let go, remember guys, there's a win and a loss in a series, don't worry about losing, show our energy!"

At this time, Durant was still drinking water on the bench, not knowing that the Grizzlies' defensive strategy had changed...
