The effect of a shortened season is the postponement of the playoffs, and as is customary in previous years, the regular season is over by mid-April.

However, with 66 games to play at the end of December, the regular season doesn't officially end until the end of April, and the schedule for April is very tight.

Coach Brooks usually rotates 8 people, and in extreme cases in the playoffs, he will directly choose 7 people to rotate, considering the later schedule, from mid-March, the Thunder team began to pinch the rotation of the main lineup.

When it comes to back-to-back away games, the trio will not play more than 40 minutes, and at this point, the teams that want to compete for the title have already started to manage the load.

In the two-week game from March 11th to 24th, the Thunder achieved a 5-2 record, except for the loss to the Nuggets and Jazz on the road, the Thunder won all the games involving the card battle.

In the game on the 14th, the Thunder, who were playing at home, successfully defeated the Spurs 105-114 and continued to maintain a gap of 6 wins.

In the game on the 21st, although the Clippers welcomed a new signing, Nick Young, perhaps due to the turmoil in the team, the Clippers were not in shape at all that night, 91:112, and the Thunder easily defeated the opponent.

After this game, the Clippers are still in fifth place, one win behind the Lakers in third place and the Grizzlies in fourth place.

By the end of March, the Thunder's coaching staff also began to count opponents, and the team should have no pressure to pass the first round of the playoffs, but the opponents in the Western Conference semifinals are based on the current rankings, and Coach Brooks would prefer to meet the Lakers.

The Grizzlies are getting better and better with Randolph's return from injury, and as long as Big Brother is around, Rudy Gay's shots are under control, which is why the Grizzlies' record has skyrocketed.

The situation of the Lakers is diametrically opposite, Kobe Bryant still maintains a high number of shots, coupled with the Lakers' No. 1 position to pull his hips, and the bench lineup is missing the best 6th man like Odom, and the strength of this season can be said to be not up but down.

Therefore, the coaching staff calculated and found that if they want the Lakers to rank fourth, in addition to killing each other in the next game, they still have to look at the Grizzlies' own performance.

Week 10 of the Player of the Week, the NBA league went to Drew Gooden of the Bucks and Andrew Bynum of the Lakers, both teams had a 4-0 record during the week, and the award was well deserved.

However, for Durant, with the team's record first, he lost an award like the best of the week again, and couldn't help but go crazy and just pick up the lemon.

Fortunately, in Week 11, the Thunder had a 3-1 record, and the NBA league seemed to finally remember the unlucky Durant and awarded the Weekly Award to Durant.

In the Eastern Conference, the Hawks had a 4-1 record during the week, and Joe Johnson was voted Player of the Week.

This week, Durant averaged 29.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.5 turnovers per game, shooting 48.2% from the field, 45.0% from three-point range, and 93.1% from the free throw line.

According to the data of the 180 club, many football commentators only realized at this time that Durant was also getting stronger, and he was only covered up by Li Ze before

Seeing such data, the eyes of all teams in the league are green with envy!

Li Ze also performed very well this week, averaging 29.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 turnovers per game, shooting 54.3% from the field, 44.0% from three-point range, and 90.8% from the free throw line.

In a team, there are two players who have played 180 club data, this is God! The first thought of many team managers is:

"The Thunder must be disintegrated! Otherwise, you won't have to play in the future! ”

On March 25th, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Durant finally received the player of the week he had in mind, and after receiving this crystal trophy, Durant was extremely excited!

It's been a long time since he's won an award like this, it's been more than a year!

The Russian fans at the scene also gave enthusiastic cheers for Durant, such a scene made Durant even happier, in order to win this award, he didn't dare to shoot the three-point shot that he was not sure of, and it took a week to raise the shooting rate to 45%

"Congratulations! Kevin, the league should have given you an award a long time ago! ”

Durant returned to the bench, Li Ze sent his blessing as soon as possible, although the turtle turtle was sour in his heart, as long as the Thunder team won the award, he could reluctantly accept it, but when he thought of the problem of the record, he still opened his mouth to complain:

"42-6, I don't think the league needs to think about other teams at all, we should get all the awards!"

Durant accepted the blessings of his teammates, and winning this award can be regarded as indirectly defeating Li Ze, as soon as he thought of this, his mood became more and more comfortable, and after putting away the trophy, he directly threw money:

"It's just like this time without back-to-back games, and I'm in for a treat tonight! Everyone let go of the fun! ”

"Oh!"

The atmosphere group screamed with excitement at the thought of being able to play for free again

On the bench of the away team, Howard was a little sad when he saw such a scene.

Finally, the league didn't award the award to LeBron James, but the team's record has been strained recently, not to mention that the award has not been won, and it has been constantly criticized by various ball critics.

As soon as Howard saw the jubilant appearance of the Thunder bench, he felt that he should really leave the Magic team, and said that the lineup would be strengthened, and the result was a colorful pie every year!

In that night's game, the Thunder team once again ran in new tactics, and Li Ze added three-point shooting this season, so the coaching staff also specially designed a few simple three-point shooting routines.

The Magic's first offense, through Howard's containment, two simple shots, Ryan Anderson received a pass from Tekoglou on the outside, and hit a shot on the right wing outside the three-point line!

The long rebound ball was successfully protected by Ibaka, and everyone on the Magic team immediately retreated, and the Thunder's counterattack was fast, and the turtle advanced through the halfcourt, quickly gave the ball to Li Ze on the left wing outside the three-point line, and then ran to the bottom left corner without the ball.

The moment he received the ball, Ibaka immediately went up to the three-point line for the first block, and the cover was immediately down, and then Perkins immediately came to the top of the arc to continue the cover.

Li Ze received the ball on the left flank, with the help of cover, easily came to the top of the arc, saw that Howard's defense did not keep up in time, and suddenly dribbled behind his right hand in lateral movement, easily shaking off Jason Richardson who was chasing the defense.

Perkins just stood on the three-point line, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand, broke through to the left, dribbled a step against the cover, got rid of Richardson's defense again, closed the ball at the top of the arc, and easily stopped and jumped!

"Huh!" Three-pointers hit steadily.

Coach Van Gundy, who was standing on the sidelines, was very dissatisfied with Howard's performance in this defensive round, and immediately shouted a loud reminder that he would be delayed as soon as he met the cover.

But it's a pity that Howard doesn't care, he's a super center, why do you want to do the work of a blue-collar center?

What's more, the team's results this season are also average, and it is difficult to catch up with the top teams according to the current situation, a big delay? How tiring that is!

In the next game, Howard began to ask for the ball in the low post in the offensive round, and then cleared one side, and singled Perkins with his back, but he missed several rounds in a row, and was easily hit by the Thunder with a wave of 6:0.

Coupled with the tactics of the trio playing the No. 5 position in a row, Howard insisted on squatting and defending, and the difference was quickly widened to 10 points.

When the official timeout in the first quarter, the Russian fans at the scene continued to cheer, 7:18, the Magic team hit the iron outside, Howard made free throws to pull his hips, and only scored 7 points in the half quarter.

Apparently Howard played with emotions tonight, after the NBA awarded Player of the Week to Drew Gooden, leaving the "Superman" mentally unbalanced.

"The Magic have a problem with pick-and-roll, Richardson certainly can't limit Kayce in a single defense, and whether it's Turkoglou or Ryan Anderson, there's no good way to face Durant either."

"Nelson should take responsibility for the organization, and Howard should also cut back on some back-to-back singles, otherwise tonight's game will soon lose suspense!"

It was disappointing that Steve Cole came all the way to Russia with a bang on the TNT commentary bench and the way it went.

In the next game, the Magic's offense did not improve, Howard was still obsessed with the low post, the blocker continued to crouch, and his teammates didn't want to say anything, superstars have the right to be willful

Li Ze and Durant are still in very hot form, constantly scoring points easily on the outside, and by the end of the third quarter, Howard has already wanted to clock out of work.

At 69:86, after three quarters of the game, the Thunder led by 17 points, and when the fourth quarter began, Howard was forced to go into business, and the offensive and defensive ends were completely rowed, which made the big Van Gundy head coach on the sidelines angry enough.

With just 3:08 left in the fourth quarter, the Magic called a timeout, and then replaced the atmosphere group players, and Howard looked calm after the loss, he was already completely disappointed in the team.

On the Thunder's side, it is rare that there are no back-to-back games, and Coach Brooks no longer limits the playing time of the trio, and only when the official timeout in the fourth quarter does he completely change the main lineup.

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, the atmosphere group of the Thunder team appeared, Li Ze sat on the bench and looked relaxed, this half-month schedule did not have a little pressure for him, but he made a little effort in the previous Spurs game.

"Kayce, there seems to be a big thing going on within the Clippers, and the media in Los Angeles have been vaguely pointing out that the Clippers owner seems to be involved in racial discrimination these days, do you have any inside information?"

Durant replenished his water, and then came to Li Ze's side, gossiping in a low voice, and there were all kinds of speculations on Twitter, which made his heart itch to watch.

"The Clippers don't talk about the problems within the team, but I'm sure the Los Angeles media will find out the truth after a while."

Li Ze doesn't have the habit of having a big mouth, it's good to know about this matter by himself, and it will make it difficult for Griffin to talk about it everywhere, so after hearing the inquiry, he also showed that he didn't know anything.

"The news is definitely true, there was a bit of a problem with the concentration of the Clippers players when we played before, and we were going to Los Angeles in two days, so maybe we could see a big news by then."

Turtle Turtle is also a rare gossip, and Twitter is indeed a good thing, and it is a big cut ahead of other social media in terms of spreading gossip

The trio's bench chatted about gossip, while on the TNT commentary bench, Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller turned on the crazy output mode and sprayed the Magic's outside defense!

There were all kinds of warm-ups before the game, and the game was gone in one quarter, and I came all the way to Russia, but most of the games were garbage time.

By the time the final hum sounded, the score was fixed at 92:109, and the Thunder team playing at home easily defeated their opponents.

Without the pressure of back-to-back games, Li Ze's playing time finally reached 40 minutes, with 10 of 20 from the field, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 6 of 6 free throws, easily scoring a game-high 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Durant scored 27 points, and the turtle also scored 23 points, and the trio completely blew up the outside of the Magic team and easily completed the revenge battle.

Howard only got 11 points and 15 rebounds in this game, but after the game, the super center was in a good mood, praised everyone he met, and pulled the trio to greet him for a long time, and it seemed that the loss did not affect him.

On March 27, after a day of rest, the Thunder will once again start their road trip and will take on the Trail Blazers this evening.

Due to the poor record, head coach McMillan went straight out after 43 games in charge this season, and the Trail Blazers currently have a 23-26 record and have fallen out of the top eight.

Despite being a shortened season, the competition for a playoff spot is just as fierce, and changing coaches at this point in time means that management has given up on the season.

In the game that night, although the Trail Blazers fans cheered hard for the home team, after the end of the first quarter, the score of 32:18 disappointed the fans.

They also won against the Thunder at the beginning of the season, but after the All-Star break, the team's results were completely collapsed, and every time they met they were a big loss, which also made the Trail Blazers fans more and more dull in the following time.

The halftime score was 65:47, and the game lost suspense early.

However, Coach Brooks did not limit the playing time of the trio, and it was not until the fourth quarter of the game that the Trail Blazers changed to the atmosphere group, and the Thunder did not replace the main lineup.

In the end, at 111:95, the Thunder once again easily defeated their opponents.

Turtle Turtle scored a game-high 31 points, Li Ze and Durant scored 25 and 26 points respectively, the two can be regarded as hot and hard passes, and let Turtle Turtle get a new season high alive.

The Trail Blazers were in a very depressed mood after the loss, they have fallen out, and with the departure of head coach McMillan, the team seems to be entering a rebuilding period.

In the last game of March, the Thunder will take on the Lakers on the road, which can be regarded as a card battle, and if they want to meet the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, then the Thunder will have to help the Grizzlies.

On the morning of the 28th, the Thunder arrived in Los Angeles, and the coaching staff announced that they would have a direct afternoon holiday, and everyone could move freely, and they would not stay in a hotel at night, just report simply.

Li Zewan declined the invitation of his teammates, and his task today is to serve the blonde sweet girl, who has been a little fried recently, and her unreliable dad seems to have made some moths again, making the family a mess.

Seeing Britney's red sports car at the door of the hotel, Li Ze subconsciously waved his hand, but it turned out that it was a blonde lady wearing a black overalls skirt and a white short-sleeved top who stepped out of the door.

Obviously, such a broad mind is definitely not a blonde sweet girl.

Seeing Li Ze stunned in place, the blonde lady took off her sunglasses and waved her hand at Li Ze with a smile, although she had already guessed the identity of the other party, after getting in the car, Li Ze still asked:

“？ Britney is such a mess, there's no need to bother to pick me up! ”

The blonde lady first looked at Li Ze carefully, and then started the car and said with a smile:

"I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, Kayce! Thank you to the Dutton family for supporting my father in Montana, you are stronger than you look in the pictures. ”

When Li Ze heard the other party's words, he knew that this person must be difficult to deal with, and the blonde sweet girl was obviously two extremes with her:

"To correct my opinion, the Dutton family supports the Elephant Party, in the internal competition, whoever promises to bring more benefits, then Joanna will support whom, forgive me for being a bit blunt, after all, I am not a Melika person."

The blonde lady who was driving the car still kept smiling, and after glancing at Li Ze, she spoke again:

"There's nothing wrong with being blunt, we both run a family, and interests are the most important thing, and I also agree with this point of view, it seems that we must have a lot of common topics."

Li Ze pouted in his heart, this is also the impact of Facebook's acquisition of INS, entering the ranks of billionaires, this one appeared in front of him, just like to A celebrity, no rabbit or eagle.

The two chatted casually on the road, and when they arrived at Britney's house, they saw the blonde sweet girl circling around her sister, Li Ze felt that even if she was sold by the other party, she might have to applaud.

When it was time for dinner, the blonde lady turned the conversation to Keds, which had recently caught fire:

"The third generation of midsole material, the revolutionary running shoe, Keds has been very popular recently, have you considered entering the FMCG industry later? I have some resources in this regard. ”

Seeing that the other party's fox tail was finally exposed, Li Ze pursed his lips disdainfully in his heart, but said gently on the surface:

"The clothing industry is an unfamiliar field, and professional things are left to professional people to do."

"Rick, the president of Keds, has a clear plan for the future development, of course, the future is full of uncertainties, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate at that time."

Seeing that the two had been looking at each other, the blonde sweet girl felt that such a scene was a bit serious, and then immediately changed the topic and said in an active atmosphere:

"Don't talk about work at dinner, I'm graduating this year, and you all have to be present at the graduation ceremony!"

The blonde lady looked at the twittering Britney with a smile, and then glanced at Li Ze covertly, which was completely different from what she imagined, 21 years old?

When he was resting at night, Li Ze lay on the bed boringly brushing INS, while praising the girls, while paying attention to the movement at the door, but within two minutes, he saw Britney sneaking into the room.

Seeing Li Ze showing his beautiful muscles, he immediately jumped on the bed, hugged it and didn't let go, arched twice in his arms, and suddenly asked:

"Isn't my sister beautiful? I really envy her! ”

Li Ze switched INS to Twitter, looked at the recent news, and replied casually:

"It's really beautiful"

When the blonde sweet girl heard this half of the sentence, she immediately exploded, immediately rode on Li Ze, threw the mobile phone aside, and then said sourly:

"You just love cows! I knew it! You scumbag! I was kind enough to introduce her to you! ”

"Hey! She's a married old woman, and I'm principled! ”

Li Ze had a question mark in his head, and hurriedly defended, seeing that the blonde sweet girl still wanted to blow up his hair, he hurriedly held the other party in his arms, and after 40 minutes, the blonde sweet girl became well-behaved again.

“My god！ I looked like I forgot to close the door when I came in! ”

“.”

On the night of the 29th, head coach Mike Brown was full of confidence before the game, and at his suggestion, the Lakers strengthened the No. 1 spot after the All-Star break, signing Ramon Sessions, who previously played 1.91 meters with the Cavaliers.

This is certainly not a star player, and head coach Mike Brown prefers what Sessions calls a championship puzzle!

His ideal No. 1 position doesn't need strong scoring ability, as long as he can open up space, hit some open shots, do a good job of defense, dribble the ball across the half court, and give the ball to Kobe

Therefore, for this reinforcement, head coach Mike Brown is still quite satisfied, of course, this is also his personal relationship with the Cavaliers, in order to succeed in the Lakers, Mike Brown is also fighting.

The Lakers' coaching staff has been keeping an eye on the Grizzlies and Clippers this month.

Despite currently sitting in third place, they have the same win as the Grizzlies, with the Clippers also chasing after them, with only one win separating the two sides.

In this case, tonight's game is very important!

If the Lakers lose, they will fall to No. 4 and there is a good chance that they will meet the Thunder again in the playoffs, and the Lakers coaching staff can't help but recall the scene of being swept last season.

That night, the Staples Arena was full, in addition to Lakers fans, many Los Angeles fans who like Li Ze also bought back-row tickets, and many people wore UCLA jerseys to express their support for Li Ze.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers were in very good shape, and Kobe Bryant went directly into the Mamba mode and continued to shoot wildly

Coach Mike Brown was also very proud to stand on the sidelines, and as he expected, the championship puzzle worked.

The Lakers' defense seems to have improved a lot, and the offense is very fluid, and the tactics of giving the ball to Kobe Bryant are unprecedentedly successful!

Amid the cheers of the Lakers fans at the scene, Kobe Bryant hit a two-point shot at the buzzer, and the two sides finally tied the first quarter at 30:30.

The Lakers' offensive form was excellent, with Bryant scoring 9 points on 4-of-9 shooting and 1-of-1 from the free-throw line in the quarter.

The audience at the scene saw Kobe's outstanding performance, and they all shouted excitedly, this is the black mamba in their hearts!

At the intermission, everyone on the Thunder team looked calm, 30 points, which is their normal score, Li Ze was replaced with 2 minutes and 46 seconds left in the first quarter, 3 of 5 in the single quarter, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and easily scored 7 points.

"This is the championship puzzle that the Los Angeles media preached before the game? It's really hard to understand, what is there to brag about this kind of reinforcement? ”

When Durant scrolled through Twitter before the game, he saw the Los Angeles media frantically touting Ramon Sessions, and he was speechless, and when the first quarter of the game was over, he couldn't help it, so he complained.

"It doesn't matter! No matter what kind of backcourt it is, it certainly can't limit us, and the first quarter of the game is just a warm-up! ”

Li Ze took off his training clothes, moved his body, and after complaining, he high-fived his teammates one by one, and during the rotation stage, he decided to teach the Lakers a lesson on the outside.

Coach Mike Brown brought in Steve Blake, Matt Barnes, Ron Artest, Josh McRoberts, and Pau Gasol in the rotation, and this lineup is very mobile, just to limit Lee's play.

Led by the live DJ, the second quarter of the game just began, and the enthusiastic Lakers fans began to cheer for the home team's defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Li Ze slowly dribbled through the half, the Lakers' lineup, he did not normally choose a "V" attack, but played an offensive gesture, signaling that he wanted to play with his back to the back in this round.

Ibaka and Collison both elbowed left and right of the free-throw line, with Cook moving straight to the bottom right corner and Sofrosa moving at the top of the arc and on the right wing.

When Li Ze passed the ball to Ibaka, he quickly came to the left blocking area and turned his back to ask for the ball.

Matt Barnes used his strength to push Li Ze out of the blocking position, but Li Ze was always firmly stuck behind him, and as for the half-wound front defense, he couldn't find any chance at all.

Seeing Li Ze easily catch the ball, Matt Barnes cheered up for twelve points, but he was hit hard in the chest in the next second, but the tough man Barnes was not afraid of confrontation, and immediately used all his strength to meet him again.

Li Ze noticed the opponent's defensive movement, and at the moment when the opponent defended, he immediately turned to the basket with his left foot as the axis, easily avoided the opponent's defense, and came to the bottom left of the basket, and easily picked up the basket with his left hand.

Li Ze, who had completed the attack, immediately chuckled when he heard the boos that erupted in the Staples Arena, and when he saw Matt Barnes's depressed expression, he shook his head slightly at the opponent, and quickly retreated with a relaxed expression.

As soon as Matt Barnes saw Li Ze's expression, he almost broke the defense directly, pressed the anger in his heart, and silently kept calm in his heart!

After reaching 87 points in strength, it is easier to play back singles.

The first shot of enough power usually makes the defender take a big step back, and Matt Barnes is obviously knocked over, patronizing the physical confrontation, but not realizing that Li Ze has approached the basket.

The Lakers quickly sent the baseline ball, and Steve Blake was guarded by Cook as soon as he dribbled past half court, but he was also prepared and immediately gave the ball to Josh McRoberts at the free throw line.

Gasol asked for the ball with his back in the right blocking area at this time, and after receiving the pass, he turned around and attacked with the frame, facing Ibaka's defense, two consecutive tentative steps, and a mid-range dry draw jumper.

"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!

The rebounding ball was protected by Ibaka, and immediately passed to Li Ze, and immediately advanced quickly after receiving the ball.

Although Matt Barnes stepped forward to interfere at the first time, Li Ze, who was moving, held the ball in his left hand, protected the ball with his body steadily, and simply ran over the half court.

After observing the defensive position of the Lakers, Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line, suddenly pushed the ball and changed direction, his body shook to the right in confusion with the rhythm of the dribble, and then his right hand changed direction under his crotch very quickly, and he exerted force under his feet, and broke through at the top of the arc.

Stopping and getting up sharply, the moment he changed direction under his crotch, he easily jammed half of his body, and Matt Barnes was once again crushed into the paint area, seeing that Gasol's help defense was about to be in place.

Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly closed the ball, leaned on Matt Barnes, stepped to the basket, tilted his body, and shot lightly with his left hand! The tough guy Barnes's defensive aggression is really strong, and he hit Li Ze's arm under the hard defense.

"My bowl!"

"Squeak!"

"Bang!" Hit the board and throw the hit!

The Lakers fans at the scene saw that Li Ze had a 2+1 opportunity, and once again broke out into huge boos, and at the same time, they were also very dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

On the commentary bench of ESPN at the scene, Jeff Van Gundy saw Li Ze standing on the free throw line with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help but speak:

"The Lakers still let Kayce play too easily, and if he adds free throws, the difference will come to 5 points, and although Kobe Bryant played almost the whole first quarter, this is when head coach Mike Brown should consider a substitution!"

Mike Brown certainly didn't want to lose, so he took advantage of Lee's free throws to replace Kobe Bryant again and replaced Matt Barnes.

But the Black Mamba, who shot wildly in the first quarter, didn't attack more often in the next few minutes, but gave the ball more to Gasol.

Of course, Li Ze could see that Kobe Bryant seemed to have given up on offense and wanted to teach him a lesson on the defensive end.

With the ball in his right hand to accelerate with all his might, after rushing through the half, he noticed that the Lakers had completed the defensive positioning, and Li Ze made an offensive gesture again, signaling his teammates to stand in a "V" shape.

Outside the three-point line, he used Collison's uplift to block and dismantle, and pretended to break through on the right side with the ball in his right hand.

Noticing that Kobe's defensive center of gravity shifted to the left again, his left hand suddenly changed direction under his hip very quickly, and while turning his hips, he exerted force directly under his feet, and then lowered his body's center of gravity, and accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

The Lakers fans at the scene let out an exclamation, Kobe Bryant was completely shaken away, and after Li Ze broke through to the paint area, he suddenly made a fake move of passing the ball to the right during the march, shaking Gasol stunned again.

At this time, the Lakers' restricted area was completely unguarded, and Li Ze, who rushed up, easily completed a reflexive dunk!

“OH！ Slam dunk！ What a play by Kayce！ ”

"Wonderful dunk! Kayce has two in a row, and the Lakers' offense seems to be in trouble, and Kobe Bryant should step up! ”

Commentator Mike Brin shouted excitedly, and Jeff Van Gundy also praised Li Ze's dunk for the first time.

Kobe Bryant noticed that the score difference was widened to 7 points again, and after seeing Li Ze finish the dunk, he silently pretended to be X in front of the camera under the basket, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

After posing, Li Ze heard a lot of cheers in the Staples Arena, and he was immediately in a good mood.

The spatial bonus brought by the golden [Organizational Core] + [Bullet Passer] + [Needle] allows him to make better use of the offensive space on the field.

"At the end of the game tonight, you're going to fall to 4th place!"

Taking advantage of the retreat, Li Ze whispered beside Kobe Bryant, Kobe still pulled his face, and when he heard Li Ze's words, he just responded lightly:

"I don't care about the rankings at all, no matter who the opponent is I will win!"

After saying this, Bryant directly asked for the ball at the left elbow area of the free throw line, and immediately lowered his center of gravity after receiving Steve Blake's pass.

After taking a tentative step with your right foot in front of you, quickly step forward to the left, and at the same time release the ball with your left hand and cross your step towards the baseline.

Bryant could clearly feel the defense and pressure on Li Ze's side, and when he was close to the baseline position, his left hand suddenly changed direction under his hip.

While protecting the ball with his body, he pretended to break through with his right hand, and then used his left foot as the axis, quickly turned around and closed the ball, and threw a chic backward jumper!

Kobe Bryant shot confidently, but was dumbfounded in the next second.

Li Ze seemed to have predicted his movements, and at the moment of shooting, he immediately jumped up and blocked, and his fingertips slid over the ball, finally making this beautiful step-back jumper into a three-not-stick.

“OH！ Blocked by Kayce！ ”

The wonderful block immediately made the commentator Mike Brin scream, and the Lakers fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed when they saw Kobe's backward jumper being blocked.

"Oh!"

Collison, who was under the basket, successfully controlled the ball, and then immediately passed to Li Ze, and after being blocked, Kobe Bryant was almost blown up, and when he saw Li Ze taking the ball, he immediately grabbed it fiercely.

Despite the blessing of the home whistle, Li Ze always protected the ball steadily, and the two were entangled through the half.

Noticing that his teammates opened up the offensive space again, Li Ze, who was protecting the ball with his back, suddenly pulled the ball back with his left hand, and then twisted his body quickly, lowered his body's center of gravity and strode with his right foot at the same time, and accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand.

After Kobe Bryant was shaken, he hurriedly slid to the right rear, feeling the confrontation coming from his side, and Li Ze, who was moving, suddenly pulled back his hip sharply near the free throw line, stopped suddenly, and directly shook Kobe Bryant.

At the moment when the opponent's defense was out of position, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated with all his strength again, completely passed Kobe, rushed up in three steps, and successfully broke through to the penalty area.

Gasol has retracted to the basket, while Artest has also given up on the opposite Sofrosa and also shrunk into the box.

With both of them jumping up to block, Li Ze in the air flicked his right wrist, and the ball fell accurately into the hands of Sofrosa in the bottom right corner, who received the pass, did not make adjustments, and made an easy jump shot outside the three-point line.

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow net!

"Perfect attacking rhythm, Kayce once again showed great passing vision! He's only 21 years old, which is an incredible talent! ”

Jeff Van Gundy once again entered Li Ze blowing mode, and the speed of speech was fancy touting, the Thunder bench was jubilant, and everyone jumped and jumped excitedly when they saw Kobe's embarrassed appearance.

The Lakers fans at the scene also couldn't move, but Li Ze's fans began to scream excitedly.

Li Ze finished high-five celebration with Sofrosa with a smile, and noticed that Kobe Bryant showed a vicious expression again, and almost laughed out loud, the black mamba was about to break the defense!

The game entered an official timeout, with a 10-point difference, which didn't look like much, but thinking of Li Ze's state, there was silence on the Lakers bench, and Coach Mike Brown was also a little confused, and the strongest tactic didn't work?

After sending a thick chicken soup for the soul, the Lakers got back the starting lineup, and on the Thunder side, the main lineup also returned, and in the second half of the second quarter, the Thunder began to increase the intensity on both offensive and defensive ends.

In the offensive round, as long as the opponent hits the iron, the trio will quickly push up the transition offense, and when the defensive round comes, the trio will mark the man-to-man pressing defense, Ibaka will be responsible for sweeping the fill, and Perkins will be responsible for entwining Bynum under the basket.

The Thunder's five-man team had a clear division of labor and played extremely fluidly, and the Lakers lost themselves again on the offensive end in such a rhythm, and Coach Brooks saw an opportunity to win and did not replace Li Ze until 1 minute and 46 seconds left in the second quarter.

At halftime, the score was 62-49, and the Lakers scored only 19 points in the second quarter, and the offense lost power again

"Bryant was 1-of-2 in the second quarter and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring only five points, and was completely suppressed by Kayce on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends."

"In the second half, Kobe Bryant had to play on the offensive end, and once he entered the fourth quarter with a double-digit point difference, it would be difficult for the Lakers to win this game."

Jeff Van Gundy was very disappointed with the Lakers' performance, and commentator Mike Brin looked at the technical statistics in his hands, and Li Ze scored 10 points easily in the second quarter of the game, including 3 of 2 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws.

The performance on the counterpoint really suppressed Kobe.

After the start of the second half, Kobe Bryant completely entered the crazy mamba mode, and the defensive end went all out.

Li Ze wanted to make a back-to-back single on the left side of the block area in the first round of the third quarter, but Kobe Bryant dragged the top belt and successfully disrupted his offensive rhythm.

Giving the Turtle a gesture to signal that he was going to smoke in the bottom corner this round, the Turtle made another offensive gesture, and Durant quickly bounced outside with the help of Perkins' cover in the three-second zone, and received the ball at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.

Artest's defense just rotated in place, Durant broke through with the ball in his right hand, and after dribbling two big steps, the ball shook and flew Artest's defense, twisted his body, and made a strong shot from mid-range.

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

Everyone in the Lakers team has been completely numb, the Thunder team is a three-insurance team, Li Ze, Durant, and Turtle Turtle take turns to play, and they can't stand it!

After the goal, Durant smiled and shook his head at the Lakers in disdain, while stepping back to his own half.

The crowd at Staples Arena erupted in loud boos, and it was clear that Durant's move had provoked the fury of the fans

Wait until the next round of the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant will take the ball, face Li Ze's defense, receive the ball at the right elbow area of the free throw line, accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, stand up to the defense, and shoot a mid-range backward jumper at the blocking area!

"Bang!" Strike iron again!

The rebound was accepted by Durant, and he immediately strode the meteor to push the counterattack, and the Thunder rushed across the halfcourt.

Li Ze had already turned on the [Enter Rhythm] buff at this time.

The right wing position receives Durant's pass, dribbles the ball behind his back with his right hand, and shakes his body to the left in confusion, then suddenly lowers his body's center of gravity, and his left hand changes direction with his hip.

The sudden change of direction accelerated, once again allowing Li Ze to easily jam half of his body, although Kobe Bryant was desperately fighting on his side, Li Ze was not affected at all, breaking through to the blocking position and quickly turning around.

Attracted to Bynum's defense, his left hand gave the ball to the basket Perkins, who received the ball and ate the cake easily!

The Lakers quickly sent the baseline ball, and Kobe Bryant once again attacked personally, and with the help of Gasol's blocking and dismantling cover outside the three-point line, he briefly got rid of Li Ze's pursuit.

The moment he made a two-point shot, he was once again disturbed by the defense that Li Ze chased over.

After hitting a piece of iron, the Thunder team once again seized the opportunity to switch offense, and after receiving the ball, the turtle passed the ball to Li Ze who rushed through the half court as soon as possible, Kobe Bryant quickly retreated, but Li Ze's advance speed was also very fast.

Rushing across the three-point line and feeling the defensive pressure on his side, Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly sent a hidden back-to-back pass with his right hand, and Durant, who was following him, easily completed a one-handed split after receiving the ball!

"Ahh

After landing on the ground, Durant first yelled, and then immediately played a set of bells and whistles with Li Ze under the basket, and then completed the chest collision celebration, and then the two slowly retreated to the half.

Coach Mike Brown seemed to feel that the game was going to collapse, and he kept yelling on the sidelines, and his players had to step back in time.

In the next three minutes or so, Kobe Bryant continued to hit iron, coupled with Li Ze's continuous tandem, the Thunder team played more and more smoothly.

easily played a wave of 10-4, and the point difference came directly to 19 points, and Mike Brown on the sidelines was completely blinded.

The man seemed to have forgotten about the timeout, and in the end, the assistant coach couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him that the Lakers got a respite.

The audience at Staples Arena was also confused, buying the most expensive tickets and being beaten the most?

In the rest of the game, Kobe Bryant, who was completely up, still shot wildly, Li Ze continued to defend with all his might, and in the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant was 6 in 0, although the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, but Kobe still chose to fight on the court.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers' mistakes also began to increase, and the turtles got many opportunities to counterattack, completely crushing the Lakers.

With 4 minutes and 58 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant hit a three-point shot with Li Ze's block outside the three-point line, but the Lakers fans at the scene didn't want to cheer anymore, counting this ball, Kobe Bryant was 2 of 8 in a single quarter

Coach Mike Brown asked for a timeout again, directly replaced all the main lineup, took the atmosphere group, and completely declared defeat!

And Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the bench, just looked at the score on the court and didn't say a word, and the other players didn't dare to squeak when they saw that the boss seemed to have broken the defense.

In the end, at 128:93, the Thunder team beat the Lakers away from home, with a 35-point difference, which made the Lakers fans on the scene break the big defense, and booed the Thunder team after the game.

Feeling the unfriendly atmosphere at the scene, Li Ze couldn't help but pout, if Kobe Bryant left the court early, the score difference would definitely be within 20 points, and stubborn resistance was destined to lose by a big score.

"Well done, Kayce! Bryant scored only 23 points on 7-of-25 shooting against your defense, haha, I wish I could see what the Los Angeles media would say right now. ”

Hearing Durant's words, Li Ze just smiled slightly, waved his hand to the fans who supported him on the spot, and walked slowly to the players' tunnel:

"If the Grizzlies win, the Lakers will drop to No. 4, and maybe we'll meet the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals this year, and I like that."

"I also like the Lakers' perimeter defense, Sessions? I'm sure I'll be able to beat him up in the playoffs. ”

The Turtle in a good mood unceremoniously took out a loan to the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers? Soft persimmon only! Li Ze was also in a good mood when he heard the turtle's words, but when he thought of the competition in April, he secretly complained in his heart:

"The regular season can only end on the 25th, and there are back-to-back backs in the second half, what a shit-like schedule!"

After the game, at the Lakers' press conference, the Los Angeles media did not mention the big loss at all, but encouraged their superstars to continue to shoot.

Striking iron? It's okay, everyone likes to watch Kobe Bryant strike iron.

Li Ze made 11 of 21 in this game, including 4 of 9 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, and got 31 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, Durant scored 29 points, and Turtle Turtle scored 24 points.

The trio scored 84 points, leaving the Los Angeles media speechless, and the Lakers' outside strength doesn't seem to be on the same level in comparison, and Kobe Bryant didn't score more than Westbrook.

On April 1, the NBA league announced its Player of the Month for March.

In the Eastern Conference, the Celtics have a 12-5 record, and Paul Pierce won the award with an average of 22.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.6 turnovers per game;

"Congratulations, Kayce! Winning Player of the Month again and winning this award for three months in a row is a great achievement! ”

Hearing the praise of trainer Tony, Li Ze just chuckled and looked very calm, but thinking that LeBron James did not win the monthly award, he secretly thought in his heart:

"The best of the month widens the gap, as long as the next match is winning against the other party, even the most critical ball critic should vote for me! Compared with the crystal trophy, the little bronze man who is still MVP is more exquisite! ”
