Chapter 225: Calm Mamba (9800 Words Chapter)

The 2011 NBA game had a very different level of attention than it did in 2000, and of course it was an inevitable consequence of the development of the Internet, especially the birth of Twitter, which allowed many sports journalists to express their opinions anytime, anywhere.

"The Lakers lost Game 1, Kobe Bryant was limited by Lee!"

"The youngest MVP in history is really not a parallel import, maybe we should pay more attention to the Thunder."

"It's unbelievable that Kayce is only 20 years old, will he end Kobe Bryant's three-game winning streak? I even feel like this game is more like a regular season. ”

"The athleticism of the two teams is not on the same level at all, Lee, Durant, Russell destroyed the Lakers' perimeter."

Western Conference Semifinals G1, the 4th quarter of the game has been halfway through, everyone expected that the Lakers suddenly burst out, and the scene of successfully playing a wave to take away the Thunder team did not appear at all, but Li Ze slashed 9 points in less than two minutes, directly killing the game, and the Lakers had no power to fight back...

TNT, ESPN, Yahoo Sports, Bleachers (B/R) and other mainstream sports media have been stunned, and the Lakers, who have been promoting for most of the season, have been defeated, and many media reporters are frantically tweeting at this time, which is completely different from what was expected before the game!

Kobe Bryant is still in a super mamba state, and in this half of the game, he continued to ask for the ball frequently, and looked at Fisher almost after halftime, and the meaning in his eyes was also very clear:

"Give me the ball! I want to shoot! ”

Kobe, who has declined in physical fitness, began to try to shoot outside the three-point line, and he needed to entangle with Li Ze to block the ball, and Kobe, who played a high-intensity game for more than 5 minutes, no longer had much physical strength to teach Li Ze a lesson in the low post.

Outside the three-point line, with Gasol's blocking, Kobe Bryant took a step, briefly got rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and made a stop-and-go jump shot at the top of the arc.

"Bang!" One more hit!

As soon as the long rebound ball popped up, it was directly accepted by Durant, and then immediately launched a conversion offense, and the Thunder team hurrahed and rushed across the halfcourt.

The Lakers hurriedly retreated from defense, and this situation has happened for many rounds, as long as the outside shot misses, once the long rebound pops up, the Thunder will frantically switch offense.

Artest seemed to want to delay Durant first, but before he could pull it, Durant quickly got on the ball and immediately gave the ball to the turtle who rushed across the half court.

The moment the two made physical contact, the turtle just paused slightly, and then continued to accelerate in a straight line with the ball in his left hand, seeing that Li Ze had come to the left wing outside the three-point line, and divided the ball with the momentum, Li Ze, who received the pass, did not stop the ball, dribbled with the ball in his left hand and took a big step, and then quickly dribbled the ball behind his back.

Kobe Bryant's defensive center of gravity just moved to the right, and was easily shaken by the change of direction in front of Li Ze's right hand, and Kobe, who was declining in physical fitness, didn't even have time to react, and was crushed and broken through by Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand and accelerating with all his might...

Gasol didn't care about the defensive position, and came to the left blocking area in advance to delay Li Ze, and observed the defensive movement of the Lakers, Li Ze did not reluctantly attack.

When there is a ball in his hand, through the golden [Organization Core] badge bonus, Li Ze is extremely sensitive to the space on the court, and at the moment when Gasol assists in defense, Li Ze in the process flicks his wrist and hits the ground pass directly to find Durant who cuts in on the right side, and the latter takes three steps directly after receiving the ball, against Bynum's block, and splits with one hand with his left hand!

"Boom!" Convert the dunk to get it!

"Ahh

Durant was very excited about the successful dunk, and after landing, he beat his chest wildly, and kept yelling at the same time, and the wonderful dunk made the Russian City fans on the scene completely happy, and the Lakers are here?

"Wonderful three-line fast break, the Thunder fully showed their athleticism in the fourth quarter, Durant on the right, Kayce on the left, Russell in the center, a simple breakaway shot, successfully penetrated the Lakers' defense, Kayce's pass timing was good."

Jeff Van Gundy began to praise the Thunder's performance again, and Mark Jackson nodded along with him, and then said meaningfully:

"The Lakers should play more team, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they still have a chance to close the gap, and you can see that Kobe Bryant's physical condition is not ideal, and in this case, maybe handing the ball inside is the best option."

At this time, the game entered the official timeout, and many fans in the city had begun to celebrate the victory in advance, and the difference was still 15 points.

On the bench of the Lakers, no one spoke at this time except for the sound of wheezing, and the sudden acceleration of the game in the fourth quarter made the old comrades a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game.

Coach Phil Jackson still did not give up the game, and immediately made personnel adjustments, Odom appeared again, won Bynum, who kept running back and forth, and saw that the players were gasping for breath, and immediately sent chicken soup for the soul:

"We still have a chance to influence the game, don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes, protect the rebound! Get the opportunity to shoot decisively from the outside, and cherish every offensive opportunity. ”

Kobe Bryant was silent when he heard Phil Jackson's words, and in the case of falling behind by a big score, he also realized the problem of his previous playing style, but the good-faced black mamba would not admit his mistakes, so he just responded with silence, the boss did not speak, and the others could only be speechless...

After returning from a timeout, the Lakers re-gave the ball to Gasol on the inside again, and then scored several times, and finally Fisher got a three-point opportunity, and the result was iron again...

The Russian fans at the scene saw the Lakers playing iron and cheered loudly again, and the Thunder team stopped pursuing speed at this time and began to play positional offense.

Due to Li Ze's excellent play on the outside, Kobe Bryant has to quickly keep up with every time he runs, even if he doesn't catch the ball and frequent runs are interspersed, it has already made the Black Mamba a little unbearable.

Li Ze moved from the baseline to the right wing again, and Ibaka's cover slowed Bryant's pursuit a beat, and after receiving a pass from outside the three-point line, he bobbed off the momentum.

Kobe Bryant's defensive center of gravity, which had just been rotated in place, involuntarily moved forward, Li Ze saw the opportunity, quickly released the ball with his left hand, and then accelerated with all his might, observing Odom's defensive position, and turned around with the ball in his left hand in the paint area, easily came to the bottom right of the basket, and just wanted to shoot with the trend, but Kobe Bryant directly chose to foul.

"Smack!"

"Squeak..."

The referee blew for a foul on Bryant's beater, which was the last resort in the case of losing his defensive position.

Li Ze could feel that even if Kobe Bryant was fouled, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and the wave of singles in the third quarter of the game did cost Kobe a lot of physical energy.

"A foul can't limit me either!"

After whispering this, Li Ze stood on the free throw line with a smile on his face, hit two free throws steadily, and continued to widen the score difference.

Kobe Bryant saw the back of Li Ze's retreat, and scolded in his heart, after falling behind by a big score, Kobe Bryant also completely bid farewell to the Mamba mode and tried to play as reasonably as possible, but unfortunately, there is not much time left in the game, and the Lakers are still playing iron!

When the shooting was most needed, the Lakers' outside line was collectively inaccurate, while the Thunder's side became more and more courageous, and Durant began to punch hard again, frequently standing at the free throw line.

In the Thunder's continuous response balls, the rest of the game time quickly ran out, and in the end, 97:109, the Thunder team, playing at home, easily won G1.

Li Ze once again showed terrifying efficiency in this game, making 14 of 20 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, and exploded with 37 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 turnover.

The media reporters at the scene were stupid when they saw such data, the inside players couldn't hit such a hit rate, and it was Kobe Bryant who defended Li Ze! How does it feel stronger than the previous series... Is the Lakers' defense paper-paste?

At the end of the game, the players on both sides simply shook hands and greeted each other, and the Thunder were in a good mood after winning, and after the Lakers completed the ceremony, Kobe Bryant was covered with a towel and returned to the player tunnel for the first time, no one knows what the Black Mamba is thinking at this moment...

Most of Amika's media reporters are excited, the Lakers' loss is also a good thing for them, after this game, at least three or four articles, various post-game analysis, and at least two TV shows, to live!

The reporters in Los Angeles didn't say a word, it was a bit humiliating to lose such a game, they didn't expect that the Lakers would play so stretched, and they blew it for a week before the game.

Kobe Bryant was 10 of 29 from the field, 2 of 7 from three-point range, 4 of 5 from the free throw line, 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 turnovers in an inefficient manner, and the assist data was directly hung to 0.

Li Ze, who got the highest score in the game, was being interviewed by ESPN reporters on the sidelines at this time:

"Congratulations, Kayce, I'm sure it was a perfect night for you, you were so good tonight, can you give us a quick assessment of the team's performance?"

"It was a win for the city, thanks to the passionate fans who cheered us on during the game, I have to give credit to my teammates for a great performance, but also to thank the coaching staff for the game strategy, against the Lakers, we rotated eight players and played a tough game."

Li Ze's answer made Doris Burke a little speechless, and he was about to win by 20 points in the fourth quarter, which is called playing hard? Controlling her facial expression, Doris Burke asked with a smile again:

"Kayce, congratulations again on winning this season's MVP, how would you rate yourself tonight?"

"Let's play 7 points, I didn't limit Kobe Bryant very well, let the opponent get 26 points, especially in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant played very well, almost reversed the game, fortunately there are Kevin and Russell on the team, I'm proud of their performance."

“…”

Doris Burke almost didn't hold back, she could be regarded as understanding Li Ze's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, if she wasn't on the scene, just listening to the interview, she really thought that this was a close game, and she limited Kobe's shooting rate to 30%, she was still not satisfied?

"Thank you for accepting my interview, keep up the good work Kayce, and I hope to see you in the finals!"

Li Ze had a brief greeting with the veteran ESPN female reporter again, and then came to the sidelines, signed a group photo for the current fans, and finally walked slowly back to the locker room with the fans reluctantly looking at them.

In the locker room of the Thunder, everyone was talking and laughing to celebrate the victory of the game, and the tool man Perkins did not expect the game to be won so easily.

You must know that in last year's Finals, the Celtics and the Lakers were inseparable, but the result was less than a year, and the Lakers were not good?

Turtle, who scored 22 points in the game, was particularly happy and showed off his embarrassing dance moves directly in the locker room.

Due to the full preparation before the game, everyone thought about the game extremely difficult, and only reacted after the game, but the Lakers are just like that! The defense turned out to be less pressing than the Grizzlies.

And Durant looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and was a little confused, Li Ze shouldn't be an alien... Although in the game, he felt that Li Ze's shooting rate was a little high, but when he really saw 14 of 20 and got 37 points, Durant still couldn't help but be possessed by lemon essence, and he was sour, thinking that he would score 26 points and perform well, and compare with Li Ze...

Coach Brooks entered the locker room and saw the demons dancing around, and immediately coughed lightly, smiled and said loudly:

"Okay boys, it's not time to celebrate, after all, the G2 game will start the day after tomorrow, have a good rest tomorrow morning, we have a video lesson in the afternoon, remember to report on time, we must get two home wins and go to Los Angeles with a 2:0 advantage!"

"Oh!"

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean is in the May Day holiday at this time, and the day of the 2nd is destined to be a day for Li Ze.

After the Thunder's easy victory over the Lakers, Li Ze's fans went straight to the New Year, won the MVP, and beat Kobe Bryant, is there anything cooler than this?

At the Tiger Fight Forum, Lakers fans were ridiculed by everyone:

"Li Zeniu X! The championship of the Thunder team is amazing, the youngest MVP in history, and Kobe Bryant! This is the number one scoring guard! ”

"7 percent shooting percentage, less than 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and 9 points directly, is this still a person? Completely poor in words, Li Zeniu X! ”

"Komi came out to speak, scored 26 points on 29 shots, and let the two big men run back and forth on the court, Kobe Bryant is really amazing."

"Fourth in the regular season, three consecutive championships in direct loans, haha, Cormy came out to say something."

"I'm Zhan Niu X, beating the Big Three of the Celtics, it's so cool, it's all to blame on my former CBA teammates, otherwise I Zhan would have won the championship a long time ago."

"Jammy's face is really big, this game obviously relies on Wade and James Jones, without these two, James alone would have been blown up."

"It seems that Kobe Bryant can't get into the best team, Wade and Li Ze are too fierce, this is the scoring guard!"

"The volute is just a test game, it's normal to lose away, anyway, in the end, the Lakers will advance, and the Thunder team can't do it at all!"

"It's coming, it's coming, the hard-mouthed Komi is here again, it's G3 the day after tomorrow, let's see what kind of performance you can play."

“…”

Although domestic fans can often see Li Ze in the 5 sets of sports news, most of the time it is the top ten balls or the best of the week and the best of the month.

However, at noon today, this MVP special gave Li Ze enough noodles:

"This morning, the NBA league announced the 2010~2011 regular season Most Valuable Player, Chinese player Li Ze with an average of 28.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.5 turnovers, 1.4 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, successfully won this award..."

After that, I also briefly reviewed the performance of last season, in 2011, the influence of 5 sets was much larger than that of the Internet, and now even people who don't often watch the NBA know Li Zeniu X.

Ordinary players can't win MVP!

Unlike the situation in the Celestial Empire, although most of Amika's media reporters also boasted about Li Ze's performance, the game between the Celtics and the Heat on the first night was equally eye-catching.

Although Li Ze's shooting rate in this game reached 7 percent, the Heat's Wade performance was also outrageous, 14 of 21, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and efficiently cut 38 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 3 steals.

On the Celtics side, Ray Allen's efficiency was also amazing, 9 of 13, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and an efficient 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting a whopping 69.2%!

On the same night, at the same position, three different styles of shooting guards all showed terrifying efficiency, which made Amerika's commentators cry out that the era of the outside has completely arrived!

As for Kobe Bryant, who hit the iron, everyone is not black, but he criticized it vaguely, and then he passed by, and the media in Los Angeles are still standing for Kobe, in order to enhance the confidence of Lakers fans, the media in Los Angeles once again sent out poisoned milk:

"The G1 game is just a tentative one, the team's goal is to win one game on two away roads, the Lakers have figured out the Thunder's style of play, and the series will officially start in G2!"

On May 2, on TNT's Inside the NBA program, host Earny Johnson took Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley to start doing things.

"It seems like we all forgot how good Dwyane Wade was when we were picking the No. 1 scoring guard, and look at his performance last night, he completely tore down the Celtics' defense!"

"So, considering the playoff performance, guys, now who do you think is the No. 1 scoring guard this season?"

Kenny Smith immediately pretended to be serious, and said in a solemn tone:

"Of course, it's Kayce, who won the scoring title in the regular season, then the Most Valuable Player award, and in the first round of the playoffs, he was just as good, with no difference between left and right hands, a lot of scoring tools, and in my opinion, he was the No. 1 scoring guard of the season."

Charles Barkley also nodded when he heard his old partner's point of view, and then said loudly:

"There's no doubt that Kayce has dominated the league's guard line this season, and considering his 20-year-old, I'm sure no one will be able to limit him for the next 10 years, and the youngest MVP in history deserves it!"

As soon as the host Ernnie Johnson heard the words of the two, he knew that he was completely convinced by Li Ze, but since he wanted to do something, he immediately asked rhetorically:

"Have you two forgotten about Kobe, maybe we can continue to discuss the best team, Kobe and Wade, who will the two choose to enter the best team?"

It's hard to say about this question, so the two chose one each, and Kenny Smith was the first to speak:

"I will vote for Kobe, after all, the Lakers don't have MVP-caliber players, and in this case, the Lakers' regular season record is also good, which is enough to show Kobe's role."

Charles Barkley laughed a little, and then immediately retorted:

"No. 4 is not a good result, the Heat are in second place in the East, Wade's statistics are not lost to Kobe, and if you combine the performance in the playoffs, Wade deserves to be selected for the first team."

"But Wade has LeBron James and Chris Bosh by his side, Kobe doesn't have such good teammates, and the Lakers' guard line has always had problems."

Ernnie Johnson heard Kenny Smith's point of view and suddenly interjected and asked:

"The Lakers are Kobe's team, but are the Heat Wade's team at the moment?"

"Of course, the Heat have always been Wade's team, and LeBron James is very talented, but in Miami, fans definitely prefer Wade, and that has never changed!"

Charles Barkley, as the wall-to-wall grass, saw James not performing well, and immediately jumped to Wade's side again...

"I don't think LeBron will agree with you, Wade has a lot of fans in Miami, but in Amerika, LeBron is the favorite in the hearts of fans!"

"It's a pity that that's in the past, the decision has changed the position of many fans, LeBron is no longer the chosen one of the big hits, the Heat is Wade's team, and Wade deserves to be selected for the best team."

“…”

Li Ze just said goodbye to his family in the morning, and he saw this episode of TNT at lunch, The NBA is a huge vanity fair, and the MVP and the best team are almost tearing battles every time.

It is rare for an NBA player to be just an ordinary person with excellent ball skills, everyone will naturally chase fame and fortune, and if you want to activate the reward clause on the contract, honor is essential.

This is also why Kobe Bryant suddenly possessed lemon essence last night, in the final analysis, it was all caused by the American knife.

In the past few years, Kobe Bryant has been smooth sailing, counting money and counting cramps, but this season Li Ze has sprung up, snatched the MVP, won the scoring title, and occupied a place in the best team, which is a way to cut off people's money, so it is normal for Kobe to be unhappy with Li Ze.

While watching the tearing battle on TV, Li Ze thought about the harvest of last night's G1 game, the victory over the Lakers, and two more badges were upgraded to gold.

Achievement Badge [Perpetual Motion Defender]: 3/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)

Reduce the loss of physical strength to defend hard, reduce the physical exertion caused by movements, and reduce the physical burden caused by movements.

Achievement Badge [Stalker]: 3/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)

Enhance the ability to harass opposing players, increase the accuracy of players' cutting balls, and reduce the physical exertion caused by movements.

Li Ze is still very satisfied with the attributes of these two defensive badges, and after this year's test, Li Ze has a deep understanding of the attributes of reducing the physical exertion caused by the action.

In general, this attribute actually adds to Li Ze's defensive experience, how to reasonably squeeze through the cover, how to save physical energy when chasing defense, and how to efficiently harass opposing players, all of which require the accumulation of game time.

And Li Ze omitted these steps through the passive bonus of the badge, and spent a little effort to do big things, and the golden badge made Li Ze easily get out of the budding state.

Hearing TNT's program, the three of them began to vaguely point out that Kobe Bryant had too many shots, Li Ze suddenly smiled, and secretly thought in his heart:

"There is actually no problem with a lot of shots, the problem is Kobe's efficiency, these ball critics always like to pretend to be confused..."

On the night of the 2nd, the other two semifinals were also decided, and to everyone's surprise, the Bulls who were fighting at home actually lost!

At 103:95, the Hawks, who were playing away, took the lead.

Perhaps seeing the crazy performance of Li Ze and the three, Eagle King Joe Johnson was not to be outdone, shooting 11 of 18 from the field, including 5 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, and efficiently scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 turnovers and 3 steals.

The Bulls' Derry Kroos made 11-of-27 shooting, including 2-of-7 three-pointers, and got a double-double of 24 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.

The performance of the two once again made América's media reporters shout that the outside era is coming.

In the other game, the Black 7 successful Hornets finally lost to the Mavericks 92-98.

Chris Paul had 22 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 turnovers.

Dirk Nowitzki, on the other hand, was very good, shooting 12-of-19 from the field, 4-of-5 from three-point range, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and scoring 32 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers.

Amerika's ball critics are already confused, are you guys collectively hanging up this season? It seems that the hit rate does not exceed 6, and the achievement is faceless... It's outrageous!

On the night of the 3rd, the Ford Center Arena was full, and the Thunder and Lakers Western Conference semifinals G2 were about to start.

On TNT's on-site commentary seat, Reggie Miller was blowing Li Ze at this time:

"Although many players in G1 in the semifinals performed well, Kayce is actually more commendable, you know, he limited Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage to 30%, which shows that he put a lot of effort into the defensive end."

"Referring to his efficiency on the offensive end, Kayce has the style of a superstar in the last game!"

Steve Cole didn't tear down the stage either, and went on to follow Reggie Miller's words:

"Kayce's performance is really commendable, but I still believe that Kobe Bryant will bounce back in this game, he is not a player who can be easily limited, the Thunder should be careful, if you want to win this series, every home court is very important."

"There are no changes to the starting line-ups tonight, but we can expect a tactical change from both sides, and maybe both teams will have a short rotation tonight."

Commentator Kevin Harlan has just finished introducing the starting lineups of both sides, and then immediately introduces the highlights of the game.

At this time, the lights of the scene dimmed, and in the huge cheers, the Thunder players appeared one by one.

Feeling the fiery atmosphere of the scene, Li Ze was in a good mood, although Joanna and the others returned to Montana early yesterday morning, but there were many good friends at the scene tonight, Lefou, Holiday , Harden, DeRozan all came to the scene to cheer him on.

In the final warm-up stage before the game, the turtle turtle said excitedly to Li Ze next to him while striking:

"Win this game, go to Los Angeles 2-0, I think we have a chance to sweep the Lakers!"

Li Ze saw that the turtle turtle didn't seem to have thrown a three-point shot in the pre-game warm-up, so he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then immediately refused the poisoned milk, and said with a serious face:

"Don't underestimate the defending champions, the Lakers' interior line is still very strong, and when it comes to the opponent's home court, the referee's blowing penalty must be biased in favor of the Lakers, just win it 4:1!"

“…”

Durant heard the conversation between the two, his heart was completely speechless, in his opinion, it was still 4:2 reliable, winning the Tianwang Mountain game at home, and ending the series away, Durant was very satisfied with such a result, but he didn't expect Li Ze and the turtle to be so Versailles...

At the halftime of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant wore a purple and gold away jersey, chewing gum in his mouth, his face was serious, and he looked like a big man, as if he had not been affected by the outside media at all in the past two days.

And Coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines is giving Bynum chicken soup for the soul:

"Andrew, we need you to dominate the interior, show your strength, remember to take the initiative to ask for the ball on the court, you are the future pillar of the Lakers, in this series, show your aggressiveness!"

Bynum heard Phil Jackson's chicken soup, but he didn't agree with it in his heart, he wanted to invade in the last game, but unfortunately the big guy didn't give him a chance at all.

patronized and ran back on the court, and was dunked twice by the Thunder on the defensive end, what he said was too good, and he still didn't have the ball on the court, but he still had to do the surface work:

"I see, Coach! I will do my job well. ”

Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction, what is a champion coach! The simple pie made the players rush up with a sigh...

Amid the rhythmic cheers of the Russian city fans, the players from both sides came to the center of the field, and after a brief greeting, the referee motioned for Ibaka and Bynum to come to the center circle and stand still.

“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”

"Smack..."

Bynum, with his height advantage, managed to jump to the ball for the Lakers, and Fisher quickly dribbled across the halfcourt.

The Thunder changed their previous defensive strategy in this game, defending a man to man defense after the opening game, and switching defenses directly when they encountered cover.

After the opening, Kobe Bryant was not in a hurry to attack, using the big man's blocking, the Lakers continued to pass the ball on the outside, and saw that Gasol had already asked for the ball with his back in the right blocking area, Artest immediately hung the ball.

In the face of Ibaka's defense, after two hits, noticing that Durant's defense seemed to want to shrink, Gasol once again gave the ball to Artest on the perimeter, while quickly lifting up to cover.

Seeing that Durant chose to go off the line to defend, Artest outside the three-point line relied on Gasol's cover, simply dribbled, and then shot a two-point pull-up jumper.

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

"Shh

There was a huge boo at the Ford Center, and in the TNT commentary box, Steve Cole smiled and said:

"It seems that the Lakers have changed some of their tactics and role players are starting to take on more responsibility, which is the right thing to do!"

Due to the last game, Artest played an iron frame, so the Thunder's side of the markers encountered blocking and covering all went off the line, although the first round thus lost two points, but the head coach Brooks on the sidelines continued to applaud, so that the players stick to the game strategy.

After quickly sending the baseline ball, the turtle immediately rushed through the halfcourt, perhaps because in the last game, Li Ze scored too easily, so Kobe Bryant's defense was full of intensity after the opening.

In the three-second zone, Li Zegang wanted to borrow Ibaka's cover to pop out, but was pulled by Kobe Bryant covertly, although he finally succeeded in receiving the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, but Kobe's kraft candy defense also caught up.

“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”

In the rhythmic cheering of the Russian city fans at the scene, Li Ze lowered his body center of gravity after receiving the ball, quickly made a tentative step to the left with his left foot, and his body shook to the left side, and then the left foot immediately retracted, and immediately strode forward to the right, and at the same time put the ball with his right hand, and broke through with a cross step.

Bryant immediately followed and slid backwards, and after Li Ze took a big step, he dribbled back with his right hand, and then changed direction with his left hand at a very fast crotch.

Although the two shakes did not completely shake Kobe Bryant, Li Ze, who successfully stuck half of his body, dribbled a big step with the ball in his right hand, and after a physical confrontation with Kobe, he exerted force under his feet, stepped back directly, ignored Kobe's block, and threw a mid-distance backward jumper.

“Kayce! Fade away! OH! It's good! ”

As soon as the game started, Li Ze hit a step-back jumper under Kobe's defense, so the commentator Kevin Harlan was a little excited, so hurry up and rush to each other...

After the physical confrontation, Kobe was hit by Li Ze enough, but found that the referee did not say anything at all, and immediately stared at Li Ze, and then ran quickly to the front.

At this time, the Ford Center Arena was still cheering, and after scoring the first goal, the crowd began to sit back in their seats one after another, and the whole stadium was blue and white tonight, and the loud cheers could indeed cause a lot of pressure on the away team.

Unlike the previous game, Kobe Bryant didn't seem to have too much desire to attack after the opening, and after receiving the pass, he immediately gave the ball to Bynum on the inside, and in the face of Perkins' defense, Bynum slammed twice to the basket, and then hooked his right hand to get it.

In the next few minutes, the scores of the two sides began to alternate, and on the Thunder's side, the turtle faced Fisher's defense, took advantage of Perkins' blocking, and hit two high-post jumpers in a row.

On the Lakers' side, Gasol and Artest scored another goal each, and both sides had a very high shooting percentage after the opening and the offense was very smooth, which made the Russian City fans at the scene addicted.

This time the Thunder team's offense, "V" shaped position, Li Ze was in the bottom left corner, observing the Lakers' defensive movements, and saw that Durant was forced to stop the ball under Artest's defense, and when Turtle stepped forward to respond, Li Ze immediately started.

Moved from the bottom left corner to the outside wing of the left three-point line, and during the move, Ibaka took advantage of the upper cover and successfully delayed Kobe's pursuit, and it was in this short moment that Li Ze successfully came to the left wing outside the three-point line to receive the turtle pass.

Without making adjustments, the drifting Li Ze took the ball and threw it, Kobe Bryant just came to Li Ze, and immediately heard the huge cheers that erupted from the scene.

"Very wonderful three-pointer! That's what I appreciate about Kayce, whether he has the ball or doesn't have the ball, he can always score easily, and this ball also reflects his judgment of the situation on the court, the Thunder's offense has just been a little sluggish, and Kayce has come out to solve the problem! ”

Li Ze's goal made Reggie Miller blow again.

"Someone else to defend me!"

After completing the goal, Li Ze whispered to Kobe Bryant beside him, but unfortunately the black mamba seemed to have made up his mind not to bother Li Ze anymore, just chewing gum calmly and running forward slowly.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant did not choose to entangle with Li Ze in the blocking position, but went directly to the three-point line to receive the ball, and with the help of Gasol's high blocking, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand.

Facing Ibaka, who was switched over, Kobe Bryant on the move, suddenly changed direction with his left hand, and then accelerated his right hand to break through, the free throw line, and made a quick stop jump shot.

"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

Li Ze noticed the change in Kobe's position to receive the ball, and immediately understood that he didn't want to be entangled with him, in order to ensure that he was physically energetic in the second half, Kobe Bryant played very restrained in the first quarter of the game.

The pace of the game was fast, and at the same time, under the referee's relaxed scale, the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense.

This time, after Durant's shooting hit the iron, the basket was in a ball again, Perkinsca was in the position, Ibaka rushed, and just got the frontcourt rebound, Bynum immediately reached out and was ready to cut the ball away.

But Ibaka's ball protection was very strong, Bynum failed to grab the ball on the first shot, but his arm was caught by Ibaka, and the two were immediately torn apart under the basket...

"Shet! Let the ball go, boy! ”

Artest, who was closest to him, immediately wanted to bully the new Ibaka, and just wanted to pounce directly, but was greeted by Perkins on the side, and pushed Artest away, and scolded at the same time:

"Falk squid! Does this ball have anything to do with you? Get out of the way..."

The furious Artest just wanted to put Perkins up against him, but was stopped by the linesman.

"Squeak!"

The referee signaled both sides to calm down, and then signaled for the ball, which made the Russian fans at the scene very dissatisfied, and immediately broke out into huge boos:

"Shh

There was no suspense, Bynum successfully scramble for the ball, and the core players on both sides played step by step, but under the intention of the referee, the defensive movements on both sides became bigger and bigger.

In the second half of the game, the whistle sounded frequently...

At 24:24, the two sides were tied in the first quarter, and during the intermission, Li Ze found that Kobe Bryant only shot three times in the first quarter, and he was suddenly a little surprised in his heart, and then silently thought:

"I still have to let Kobe Bryant enter Mamba mode..."
