Chapter 251: Best of January (10,000 Words Chapter)

After the results of the second phase of the 2012 NBA All-Star Lottery were announced, many fans found that most of the post-70s players had left the All-Star stage.

According to the current voting results, only Kobe and Nash are left in the former 96 golden generation, and the veterans have begun to take a curtain call.

At the same time, América's media reporters also began to praise Kobe, who was selected to the All-Star Game 14 times in a row, making Kobe successfully tie Garnett's record and become the player with the most All-Star selections among active players.

Many ball critics think of Kobe's current state, and everyone agrees that this record will continue for at least three years!

However, for other veterans, back-to-back games in this shrinking season have brought their stats to career lows at the same time.

Especially compared with the Heat and Thunder, the team dominated by veterans can be said to be tired, and for Russian city fans, after 6 consecutive days and 5 games, the team's results are getting better and better!

On January 23, the Thunder, who returned to their home court, ushered in the challenge of the Pistons.

In the cheering and shouting of the fans in the Russian City, the energetic Thunder team relied on excellent defense, and only allowed the opponent to score 12 points in the first quarter of the game, 12:31 in the single quarter, and 19 points against the opponent!

During the intermission, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely hot, and the Russian City fans celebrated the New Year again, and Li Ze, who won the Crystal of the Week trophy again that night, also performed very well in the first quarter.

4 of 6 in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, easily cut 12 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

And the Pistons almost doubted the life of the heavily cultivated interior center Greg Monroe, 1 of 8 in the first quarter, head coach Lawrence Frank looked at him as if he was about to eat him, this game was a shame!

Since the Pistons currently only have a 4-13 record, this game is not broadcast live in the United States, and the Thunder's commentator Tewyn opened the game with full firepower and frantically mocked the Pistons' outside line:

"Rodney Starkey only scored two points in the first quarter of the game under Kayce's defense, and he certainly won't complain after the game why the fans didn't vote for him, and after watching this game, I think the fans will continue to vote for Kayce."

"Brandon Knight may be crying from the bench, Russell has completely destroyed him, poor boy, maybe you're not fit for the NBA, Tyshawn Prince? Oh! KD completely suppressed the veteran on both offensive and defensive ends, and the Pistons are finished! ”

Ben Wallace didn't want to play anymore, and it was really embarrassing to score only 12 points in the first quarter, and the Pistons also made a large rotation in the second quarter, but unfortunately after the bench came on, there was no change for the situation on the court.

Jason Markhill almost shouted at me as soon as he saw Li Zeyun pass half the court, he didn't want to be a backdrop anymore, and he would definitely be on ESPN's Sports Center after the game

In the face of such an easy game, Li Ze naturally has to brush it up, and without pressure, he doesn't need to think about the situation of being converted after the three-point shot is hit.

Therefore, in this round, Li Zedribble directly into attack mode after half court, and suddenly dribbled behind his right hand to mobilize the defensive center of gravity of Jason Markhill against him, and then dribbled behind his back again with his left hand, while adjusting his footsteps and accelerating directly.

The fancy continuous back dribbling allowed Li Ze to easily shake off the defense, and Jason Mark Hill hurriedly slid back, but Li Ze just dribbled past the three-point line and suddenly pulled back his crotch sharply, almost making the opponent immediately fall into the street.

Seeing Li Ze dangle the ball outside the three-point line, Jason Markhill hurriedly save, but Li Ze passed the ball to Collison in the right elbow area, and then immediately started and went straight to the basket.

When he received Collisson's return pass, there was only Austin Daye in front of him, and he took a big step and immediately jumped on both feet in the paint area.

In the cheers of the Russian city fans, ignoring the opponent's block, after jumping high, across Austin Daye, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and slammed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!"

"Oh! Kayce smashes Austin Daye, poor fellow, and hopefully he doesn't leave a psychological shadow! ”

The commentator at the scene, Twin, was on fire again, frantically mocking the 2.11-meter big man, Austin Daye hit the street directly after landing, and just wanted to get up, and saw that the cameras next to him were all aimed at him, and he suddenly wanted to cry without tears.

Li Ze, who completed the dunk, just posed under the basket, and when he returned to the defense, he high-fived several front-row spectators to celebrate, such a dunk is indeed a routine operation for him.

In the rest of the game, Li Ze began to increase his shooting on the outside, except for three-point shots, the rest were to break through to the layup or use his feet to complete the offense near the paint area.

A typical magic ball style of play, in the case of almost playing the third quarter, Li Ze's score rose wildly, and the Russian fans on the scene watched and screamed.

Although the trio had clocked out in the fourth quarter of the game, after the atmosphere group appeared, the fans at the scene did not skimp on their cheers, for them, every game of the Thunder team was a happy party.

Durant looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and instantly turned into lemon essence again, Li Ze's style of play is not complicated, but for Durant, too many three-point shots will make him less efficient, so he really can't imitate this

11 of 18, including 3 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 30 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover, Li Ze did not have a mid-distance in this game, and the two-point shot was either converted or layup, and he was very happy!

"Shet! After adding strength training, my three-point shooting percentage was noticeably unstable! ”

Durant scored 24 points in this game, and he shot well from the field, 11-of-17, but scored 6 fewer points than Li Ze, in large part because of 0-of-3 three-pointers.

Turtle Turtle heard Durant's words but disagreed, his efficiency in this game was also off the charts, 9 of 13 scored 20 points, and also handed out 8 assists, only 2 turnovers, similar to Li Ze, all the points came from conversion and breakthrough.

"Strength training protects our bodies and increases our confrontation, and if you look at LeBron James' performance this season, the benefits of gaining weight are still very clear."

Thinking that James's figure seems to be bigger, and the first game really scared him enough, Durant is a little depressed, and he can't have both fish and bear paws.

The three of them had a lot of fun discussing off the court, and the players of the Pistons team had already broken the big defense, and if they continued to play like this, they would have nothing to do in the future!

By the end of the game, 79:112, the Thunder had a wild win at home.

There was no mercy after the atmosphere group came out, and the new Marshon Brooks scored 12 points in a single quarter, which caused the Pistons to shake hands after the game and turn around.

On January 25, after a day off, the Thunder continued to play at home, and tonight they will welcome the Hornets, who currently have 3 wins and 14 losses.

Although Ariza returned from injury, it was a pity that the one who turned into an iron tie again that night and nearly smashed the basket at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Li Ze once again showed the ultimate magic ball play, attacking left and right, and fancy dream dance steps, which made Belinelli doubt his life in the low position.

In the end, 91:109, the Thunder team fighting at home defeated the opponent again and won 11 consecutive victories!

After the game, Li Ze, who was 9 of 18 in the game, 4 of 10 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, was interviewed by ESPN reporters on the sidelines.

"Kayce, congratulations on your victory, the Thunder are on an 11-game winning streak, but you're flying away from home in the next game, what do you expect from the rest of the road trips?"

"Of course we will try to win every game, no matter what the quality of the opponent, we will do our best to finish the game, as for the winning streak, I don't care too much, this season we have only one goal, which is to bring the O'Brien Cup back to Russia."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to playing against the Warriors, you know, Klay Thompson and I have been teammates in high school, and it's the first time we've been playing against each other in the official game, and I'm definitely not going to show mercy the day after tomorrow!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, the ESPN reporter remembered that Clay's draft template was the seriously bankrupt version of Li Ze, and when he saw Li Ze's full of motivation, he immediately sent his blessings again:

"I will always support you, Kayce, keep up the good work!"

On January 27, the Thunder arrived in Oakland in the morning, and tonight they will take on the Warriors on the road.

Coach Brooks hasn't had too many training sessions in the past two days, and most of the time it's been based on video analysis, after all, in the eyes of the coaching staff, teams like the Hornets and Warriors don't need to pay much attention at all.

At noon, Li Ze saw Curry who was in a bad mood and Klay Thompson with a smile on his face, and when the three came to the restaurant, Clay immediately took out his mobile phone and showed Li Ze his dog Rocco.

"See, Kayce, Rocco has grown up, God, it's so cute, you should consider getting an English Bulldog!"

Li Ze saw the Shar Pei dog in the photo, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, he didn't pay so much attention to the girl when he picked up the girl, this dog may have been Klay Thompson's little lover in his last life.

"Forget it, I don't want to be like you, you have to take a dog with you to play, how about staying with the Warriors, Curry told me that he would take care of you."

Klay Thompson couldn't help pouting when he heard Li Ze's words, he actually didn't like Curry very much, the two couldn't play together at all, and Curry's current situation in the Warriors was not good, and everyone knew the nickname of the glass man.

"Not bad! Anyway, I don't have to buy donuts for the veteran players, I'm already very satisfied, but I lost too many games, and I may need to get used to it! ”

Curry on the side couldn't help but rub his forehead when he heard Klay Thompson's words, this year is his contract year, but his performance is getting worse and worse, coupled with the trouble of an ankle injury, Curry has completely lost numbness.

"You're going to win for sure, you're lucky compared to me, I've been losing here for two years!"

When Li Ze saw Curry's expression, he immediately guessed that the other party must not have recovered from the ankle injury, so he couldn't help but make a suggestion:

"Do you want to consider changing the trainer, adjust the power of the body, and watch less boring media reports!"

Of course, Curry knows that Li Ze's training team is currently very famous in NBA circles, but his trainer was introduced by his father and can be regarded as an old acquaintance, so he doesn't want to change it, so he can only decline politely:

"After undergoing surgery in the summer, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, and I'll trouble you if I need to!"

Hearing Curry's words, Li Ze could only shake his head in his heart, the NBA is a big sports reality show, and the media will magnify everything about the players, and Curry has been plagued by an ankle injury since 2010.

A series of sprains to his right ankle caused Curry to undergo surgery this summer, but unfortunately in December last year, Curry suffered two more sprains to his ankle, and on January 5, the media reported Curry's right ankle injury.

Many commentators have already believed that Curry has begun to habitually injure his ankle, and the Warriors' choice of a glass guard as the core of the team has also been ridiculed by many people.

"It's rare to come to Auckland, how about I take you for a lap in the evening? The quality of the night show here is no worse than that in Los Angeles! ”

Klay Thompson didn't want to continue to talk about basketball, so he immediately beckoned Li Ze to have a good time together at night, and when he heard his friend's words, Li Ze raised his eyebrows and typed a code that only the two of them knew:

"Of course, you're in charge of finding the venue, and I'll pay for it!"

“.”

That night's game once again confirmed Li Ze's speculation, Curry, who had just returned from injury, was in no state, 0 of 5 in the first quarter of the game, and did not score, and seemed to be overly concerned about the ankle injury, which made Curry lose his previous explosiveness.

Coupled with Monta Ellis' inefficient play, the Warriors could only rely on David Lee to support them, and at the end of the first quarter, the score was 32:20 on the court, and the Thunder led by 12 points at the most comfortable time.

In the rotation phase of the second quarter of the game, head coach Mark Jackson, who had just taken over this season, took on a big four small lineup like Monta Ellis, Klay Thompson, Dorrell White, Brandon Rush, and Apie Yudu.

Obviously, in order to limit Li Ze, Mark Jackson threw all the forward players on the court.

When Li Ze dribbled across the halfcourt, Klay Thompson stepped forward for the first time to interfere, and in the face of such a defense, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated, and when he came to the three-point line, he dribbled behind his back.

Klay Thompson saw Li Ze's left hand slightly, the defensive center of gravity subconsciously moved forward, noticed that the opponent was shaking, Li Ze's left hand changed direction under the crotch very quickly, lowered the center of gravity of the body and immediately turned his hip, and accelerated with all his right hand with the ball.

Easily stuck half of his body, Li Ze, who broke through to the paint area, took his left foot as the axis, and suddenly pulled the ball back sharply with his right hand, shaking off Klay Thompson's defensive center of gravity again, and then quickly twisted his body, exerted force under his feet, and easily threw a backward jumper!

“Kayce Fade away! Yes! ”

In the commentary booth of TNT in the Oracle Center Arena, commentator Mav Albert was cheering loudly for Li Ze's goal, and the Chinese fans at the scene were also shouting excitedly.

Seeing Klay Thompson's depressed face, Li Zelik smiled and whispered by the way:

"Rookie! Welcome to the NBA! ”

Seeing that Li Ze finished talking trash and immediately quickly retreated, Klay Thompson couldn't help but be even more depressed.

Waiting for the next offense with the Warriors, Apai Yudu came to the three-point line and began to cover the outside players, completing several hand-to-hand passes in a row.

When Klay Thompson received the ball, he did not choose to pass, but used the cover to accelerate from the left wing outside the three-point line, and seemed to feel free from Li Ze's pursuit, Klay Thompson wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a low-handed layup.

As a result, the ball just left his left hand, and Li Ze, who was chasing behind him, directly sent out the volleyball cap!

"Smack!"

In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, the ball was slapped vigorously on the rebound and bounced directly into Ibaka's hands, who controlled the ball and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, who had already rushed up, and the Thunder launched a conversion attack.

The Warriors hurriedly retreated, but Li Ze's advance was very fast, and Dorrell White, who switched to Li Ze's side, had been desperately fighting physically, but when Li Ze dribbled to the three-point line, he suddenly dribbled behind his back, which immediately made Dorrell White stumble.

Before everyone in the Warriors could react, Li Ze at the top of the arc shook off the defense without making adjustments, and switched to a three-point pull-up jump shot!

“OH! My god! ”

“Kayce Hits the three! Unbelievable! ”

The sudden stop-and-go three-pointer made commentator Marv Albert can't help but shout God, and Klay Thompson is very annoyed, the ball is clearly his pot.

After the goal, Li Ze smiled, raised his eyebrows at Klay Thompson, and saw the other party's bitter melon face, which almost made Li Ze laugh directly, and then sighed silently in his heart:

"The bonus brought by the golden [Transformation Master] badge is indeed very violent when abusing vegetables, but unfortunately it is not used most of the time at present"

Mark Jackson on the sidelines was also a little helpless, when the commentator didn't have an exact feeling, at this time he completely realized the powerlessness of the coaches of other teams in the league in the face of Li Ze, how to defend it?

In the next few rounds, the Thunder played a "V" shaped offense, and as long as the Warriors' defensive rotation was not in place in time, Li Ze resolutely broke through, and if he encountered a double bag, he immediately gave the ball to Ibaka or Collison in the next order.

The simple pick-and-roll offense made the Warriors completely numb to everyone, and seeing that the point difference continued to widen, Coach Mark Jackson also sat back on the bench, and the game was gone

In the second half of the second quarter, when Curry came on the court, the difference on the court had reached 17 points, and in this case, Curry's state still did not improve, and after halftime, the data was still hanging zero.

In the second half of the game, Li Ze increased his off-ball running, began to continue receiving and shooting on the outside, and coupled with Durant, who hit hard, the main lineup directly expanded the difference to 22 points when he played 9 minutes and 26 seconds in the third quarter.

By the time the fourth quarter began, the two sides quickly switched into an atmosphere group, and Klay Thompson was given plenty of playing time.

The smooth game time went quickly, and in the end, 120:102, the Thunder team playing away defeated the Warriors and continued to maintain the winning streak!

Li Ze continued to play mediocre in this game, 9 of 17 in the game, 3 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 26 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, Durant also scored 26 points, plus 24 points of turtles, the trio broke the opponent in the third quarter.

Although the atmosphere group of the Thunder team is a little ruthless, but when Li Ze invited guests that night and everyone was happy together, no one cared about losing, and they got used to losing and losing, maybe it was the current situation of the Warriors.

When the gossip sports reporters on the second day reported the news of the Warriors' collective carnival after the game and the Thunder, the Warriors fans suddenly broke their defense:

"Are you worthy of us? Refund! ”

“.”

At the end of the game, the Thunder had another two days of rest, and after returning to the city, Coach Brooks announced another day off by the way.

As the January schedule comes to an end and the Thunder start their back-to-back journey in February, the coaching staff has opted to cut back on training sessions, as the team's current tactics don't require any run-in.

On January 29, the NBA league once again announced the fifth week of the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Week.

In this week's game, the Heat won 3-1, LeBron James made 19.3 shots, shot 46.8%, and won the award again with an average of 27.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.0 turnovers per game.

There is still no suspense in the Western Conference awards, the Thunder team is 3-0, Li Ze averages 28.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1:3 turnovers per game.

In this week's game, Li Ze averaged 17.7 shots per game, shooting 54.7% from the field and 38.3% from three-point range.

When everyone looked at the more detailed technical statistics, they immediately found that most of Li Ze's 2-pointers were concentrated under the basket, which immediately caused a heated discussion.

On TNT's Inside the NBA show, host Ernnie Johnson took the trio to start a fancy discussion:

"Our young MVP seems to have found a more efficient way of playing, of course, it's not certain yet, but just looking at the numbers, Kayce is down in efficiency compared to before, but his scoring is on the rise."

Charles Barkley immediately offered a different point of view, as an old-school player, he was very fond of the three-point shot:

"Too many three-point shots, it's easy for opponents to play transition offense, I don't think Kayce's style of play is more efficient, and I have the same respect for the teams, but the Thunder's opponents this week are really too weak."

Kenny Smith on the side still continued to help Li Ze stand on the platform, and immediately gave his opinion:

"I think Kayce is honing his skills, and he probably doesn't care about those style of play, considering that last season he was dominated by mid-range shooting and was shooting over 60 percent in the playoffs!"

And O'Neill looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and suddenly reminded everyone:

"Actually, this style of play is not uncommon, and our data analysis team has come up with a player who is very similar to Kayce's current style of play, James Harden of the Kings."

Charles Barkley seemed to remember this rookie he had once favored, and immediately frowned and complained:

"I'm very disappointed with Harden's performance, he didn't lead the Kings to rise, he has become obsessed with three-point shooting for the past two years, maybe the Kings management has made a decision, Cousins is really a better player."

"Man, do you really think Cousins is better? In my opinion, he is simply a big defender, and many times the attacking options also baffle me! ”

When O'Neill heard Kenny Smith's words, he immediately took over the conversation and said in a deep voice:

"I swear! If I were 10 years younger, I could have left him with six fouls at half-time, and now the young center is really too soft! ”

“.”

Li Ze naturally watched this episode of the show at his home in Russia, thinking of the current situation of bearded golfers, he also felt a little helpless in his heart, and the butterfly effect he brought was indeed not small.

Although Harden had plenty of shots with the Kings, Cousins didn't call him, and in this case, the bearded baller just swung up and began to hone his step-back three-pointer single-mindedly, and this season is even more crazy.

In addition, Harden is also a contract year this year, and there is a high probability that the Kings will choose to trade Harden and correct Cousins, and the bearded golfer's next contract is no longer easy to say!

Thinking of this, Li Ze decided that he must treat his brother well tomorrow, and the big ass girl is enough

On January 30th, the Thunder set off again and will take on the Kings on the road tonight.

After the start of the new season, under the leadership of unhappy Harden and brainless Cousins, the Kings are currently 6-13, ranking second to last in the West, and the coaching staff has not prepared much against the fish belly team.

That night's game, there was indeed not much suspense, the Kings team, who had a sparse defense, were blown up by the Thunder at halftime, and the difference came directly to 16 points, and when the game ended in the third quarter, many fans even left the game directly.

Watching the king play, it is indeed a little painful. Many fans especially miss the old Kings who used Princeton's style of play and gorgeous offense, look at the current team, what kind of play it is!

During the intermission, Li Ze noticed that after Harden left the court, the Kings fans on the scene even directly booed, seeing such a scene, Li Ze immediately understood that Harden would definitely not be in the Kings next season.

In the last quarter of the game, the Kings also quickly replaced the main team, and the game completely entered the garbage time, and by the end of the game, the audience had already walked more than half, which was somewhat embarrassing

At 109:94, the Thunder easily defeated their opponents and won 13 consecutive victories, while also completely ending the January game.

Li Ze made 9 of 15 in this game, including 3 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and got 25 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and Durant and Turtle both scored 22 points, and the game was easily overdone

After the game, the atmosphere of the Thunder group smiled, the data is a beautiful knife, who can not love the easy scoring? When Li Ze found the bearded golfer, he saw that the other party looked extremely lost in a towel, and couldn't help but comfort him:

"It's okay, Bro! Stick to your style of play and someone will definitely give you a big contract this offseason! ”

However, when Li Ze saw Harden's excited expression, he was suddenly a little speechless in his heart, and the bearded golfer who only scored 16 points in this game couldn't wait, and the happiness was over!

"Let's go! Kayce, the old place, there have been a lot of new girls recently, it's rare for you to have a treat, let's have a good time tonight! ”

“.”

After the game in January, the schedule of the shortened season was almost 1/3 over, and in this case, the Thunder achieved a 19-1 record, which once again made Amerika's media reporters shout the slogan of the Thunder championship!

At 0:00 on January 31, the NBA league announced the Eastern and Western Conference Player of the Month.

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat had an 11-5 record in January, and LeBron James easily won the award with 28.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 4.3 turnovers per game.

In the Western Conference, although the Thunder team had an easy schedule in the second half of the month, their 14-1 record still made many critics cry out horror, and Li Ze was successfully elected as the best player of the month in January with an average of 27.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 turnovers per game.

Both are quite horrific in efficiency, with LeBron James averaging 37.5 minutes per game, taking 18.8 shots while shooting 53.8% from the field and 41.9% from three-point range!

And Li Ze played an average of 36.1 minutes per game, made 17.0 shots, shot 57.1% from the field, and 43.7% from three-point range.

If you take a closer look at the data, Li Ze's free throw shooting rate in January was 96.4%, and the efficiency is really off the charts! In this regard, LeBron James is much worse than Li Ze, with a 72.6% free throw shooting rate that drags him back

For the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, although the Spring Festival holiday has ended, Li Ze can win the award, and the fans will continue to celebrate the New Year, but Kemi couldn't help but speak sour words on the Tiger Pounce Forum again:

"The Thunder's schedule is too good, and the Volute's stats are obviously better, but it's a pity that the garbage teammates have dragged down the Crouching Tigers' record."

"Teammates CBA again? Kobe Bryant made a crazy shot himself, and he blamed his teammates for losing? Laugh to death! ”

"Averaged 25.6 shots per game, shot 45.5% from the field, and 29.2% from three-point range, which is really good to score 31.2 points with such an efficiency, but 10-7 to take the lead and Li Zebi, not to mention the efficiency, Li Ze is good at Kobe."

"Li Zedu is in the 190 club, the league's No. 1 scoring guard is not blown out, if he really lets go of the shot like Kobe, maybe he will directly average 40 per game, in fact, Durant is also very fierce!"

"There's no suspense in the West, the Thunder are too fierce, and the players are all in their early 20s, in this case, this season will definitely defend the title."

"The Heat team has run in, and my teammates this year are not leftovers, and I will definitely not lose again in the finals."

"Here it is again, James scored 8 points in the finals last year G4 and blamed his teammates, James and Comy are really amazing, stars will never stick to the pan"

Not only is the Celestial Empire's Cormitry holding grievances for Kobe, but the media in Los Angeles are also shouting for Kobe, such data can't get the best of the month, the pot must be the management, and the Bass family and the team manager are to blame!

Li Ze ignored the complaints of the Los Angeles media, the schedule was arranged by the NBA league, and it was useless to turn into lemon essence! He was holding his notebook at this point, and he was looking closely at the email Rick had sent him.

Keds' two new product lines are officially launched today, one is the Flow Velociti SE running shoe, which is mainly endorsed by Taylor, focusing on the female market, and the other is Li Ze's Kayce Flow 1st generation sneaker.

Of course, the basic HOVR running shoes are also officially launched, the midsole of this running shoe is a new ultra-soft foam material, which is also the result of two years of chemical polishing by Dow, and of course, this running shoe has a rubber outsole.

Li Ze saw the stocking situation of the factory in the email, and felt that Rick was still a little conservative, but considering the market's acceptance of new material running shoes, he could understand the other party, after all, Adidas's new material Boost had not yet appeared

After seriously recalling the memories in his mind, Li Ze felt that maybe Keds could lead Adidas by at least half a year this time, and whether it could bite the market depended on sales in 2012.

Of course, in order to make a lot of money, Li Ze is also ready to learn from Adidas' Yeezy series, as long as the sales are passable, the marketing methods will be wave after wave, as long as the next piece of meat can be gnawed in the future, the American knife will be earned!

Thinking of the wonderful money scene in the future, Li Ze replied to the email and whispered to himself:

"It's good to get a small piece of the market, as long as it's similar to the Under Armour in my memory, then I'll be completely satisfied."

On Feb. 1, the Thunder set off again and will take on the Mavericks on the road tonight.

The coaching staff is fully prepared for this game, and the slow-burning Mavericks are getting better and better, and their current record has reached 14-8 and rushed to the 7th place in the West.

In this game, the elder Kidd was rested back-to-back, Rodrigo Boobis was the starting point guard, Vince Carter also came to the starting lineup, plus the injury of center Haywood, Ian Masimi also entered the starting lineup.

Perhaps it was too excited to get into the starting lineup, the Mavericks played very well in the first quarter, while the Thunder didn't score much in the first quarter due to the turtle's sudden entry into the sewers.

At 24:29, the Thunder team fell behind by 5 points in the first quarter, and the Mavericks fans in the American Airlines Arena happily started the game.

"Shet! I should have broken to the basket! ”

Turtles who were sitting on the bench were frustrated, perhaps because the pick-and-roll at the No. 5 position was too easy for Ian Masimi to defend at all, causing Turtles to shoot mid-range in the first quarter.

Although it was true that they were all good chances, the result was 1 of 5, and in the end, the turtle only scored 4 points by relying on free throws.

Li Ze felt that it didn't matter, it was just a quarter of the game, and in the face of the Mavericks' defense, he was confident that he would reverse the game in the second quarter, so he immediately comforted the turtle:

"There are still three quarters of the game, a 5-point difference, and then there is a chance to continue to shoot, it is obvious that the opponent is shrinking under the basket, and a few more shots will always score!"

Coach Carlisle continued to feature Carter and Nowitzki in the second quarter, with Delonte West and Jason Terry partnering the backcourt, while also bringing in 2.08m Brandon White, who is athletic.

Li Ze saw the rotation lineup of the Mavericks, and he was a little speechless in his heart, compared to last season, Cuban in order to save money, the strength of the Mavericks has shrunk a lot.

The Mavericks fans at the scene were still enthusiastic, and under the leadership of the live DJ, they immediately began to cheer for the home team's defense:

“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”

After dribbling through the half, he noticed that the Mavericks were still semi-marking, the two big men both shrunk the inside, and the outside three took the marking, seeing such a defensive situation, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Ibaka at the top of the arc.

Then he made a gesture, signaling Sofrosa and Cook to take turns to catch the ball, playing a few outside cuts, and after only three hand-to-hand passes, Carter's defense, which was chasing Li Ze, was half a beat slower.

Seeing Li Ze quickly moving towards the top of the arc, Carter desperately chased after the defense, but when Li Ze's body shook to the left during the movement and made a feint of running back, Carter was suddenly shaken slightly.

Li Ze easily got rid of Carter and received a hand-handed pass from Ibaka at the top of the arc, at which time Ibaka immediately went down and took away Nowitzki's defense, and Carter's pursuit was also in place in time.

Noticing that Carter's feet were standing in parallel positions, Li Ze made a triple threat stance at the top of the arc, lowering his center of gravity while quickly completing a tentative step with his left foot in front of the left.

Carter's defensive center of gravity just shifted to the left, his left foot quickly stepped forward to the right, and at the same time, his right hand immediately released the ball, crossed the dribble to break through, saw the opponent desperately sliding backwards, dribbling two large steps and then suddenly pulled back with a large crotch.

Then his left hand paused slightly, while his body shook forward, he stepped down twice extremely quickly on the spot, and then used his foot to retreat outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" Three-pointers hollow into the net.

The rhythmic shaking is indeed very exciting, but the Mavericks fans in the American Airlines Arena don't want to see such a scene at all, as soon as they see Li Ze throwing a three-pointer, the fans think of last year's Western Conference Finals, and then immediately erupt into huge boos:

"Shh

Li Ze didn't care about the atmosphere of the scene, just reminded his teammates to continue to defend, and Nowitzki seemed to want to respond, but his mid-range step-back jumper hit a shot.

Collison protected the rebound, and as soon as he passed to Li Ze, after receiving the pass, the Thunder immediately launched a transition offense.

Jason Terry wanted to foul tactically at the first time, but Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly turned sharply, easily shook off the opponent's pounce, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand.

When Li Ze entered the paint area, his left hand suddenly wrapped around the ball, and once again shook Carter, who was chasing the defense, and saw Li Ze throw his left hand after two steps, Carter subconsciously pulled it, and then the referee's whistle sounded in his ears.

"My bowl!"

"Squeak!"

"Bang." Whistle Ball In!

After completing the goal, Li Ze pointed at the turtle by the way, and then patted his chest, such an action suddenly made the turtle smile and wave the towel in his hand up and down.

In the boos of the Mavericks fans at the scene, Li Ze stood on the free throw line and scored the ball steadily, 30:29, just over a minute, and overtook the score.

In the next few minutes, Nowitzki seemed to want to take over the game and respond, but with Ibaka's defense, the Thunder seized two transitions to easily widen the difference.

Coach Carlisle was helpless about the situation on the court, Marion was responsible for marking Durant, and among the outside players, there was no one who could restrain Li Ze, and Carter was comprehensively suppressed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

After Ian Masimmy spit under the basket, Ibaka protected the rebound, and seeing that the Mavericks had completed the retreat, Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court, and then immediately launched a block with Ibaka on the three-point line.

Nowitzki was forced to make a big delay, seeing Li Ze suddenly accelerating with the ball in his left hand, he hurriedly slid backwards, and observed that Li Ze's wrist moved, Nowitzki subconsciously closed his legs, but he was still a beat slower.

The ball passed through the middle of the legs with precision, and the ball was hit to find Ibaka, who received the ball and poured it into the basket with both hands!

"Boom!" Smooth down the violent deduction to get it!

The commentator on the Mavericks scene didn't want to make a sound, and the American Airlines arena suddenly became a little quiet, and seeing the team Bang Bang Bang iron, the Mavericks fans gradually lost their emotions.

In the second half of the game, the Thunder's offense was smooth, and the turtle mentality of the turtle who changed to the court relaxed, and finally found the mid-range touch, but the Mavericks were in no state and began to play iron frantically.

By the end of the half, at 56:49, the Thunder easily recovered the score.

After the start of the third quarter of the game, under the high-pressure defense of the Thunder, the Mavericks' offense was completely powered off, and they only scored 14 points in a single quarter.

Coach Carlisle sighed silently when he saw Nowitzki, who was sitting on the bench silent, and the window for the veterans seemed to have completely disappeared.

In the end, at 109:86, the Thunder got off to a good start in February, and also won 14 in a row.

After the game, the players of the two teams simply hugged and greeted, competitive sports are indeed very cruel at times, Li Ze didn't want to say comforting words, what the veterans needed was victory.

Seeing Nowitzki walking back to the players' tunnel with disappointment, looking at the opponent's back, Li Ze sighed with emotion:

"The championship is really too important, otherwise even a superstar of the moment will not be able to beat Excel in the end"
