Chapter 259: The 180 Club (8800 Words Chapter)
On April 26th, the 2011~2012 NBA regular season ended, and the playoff matches were officially released.
In the Eastern Conference, the Bulls achieved a 50-16 record and successfully topped the first place in the East, and the Heat achieved a 46-20 record and finally ranked second in the East.
The playoff matchups are:
Bulls vs. 76ers, Celtics vs. Hawks; Heat vs. Knicks, Pacers vs. Magic.
In the Western Conference, the Thunder have a 56-10 record, leading the league, and the second-place Spurs also have a 50-16 record.
The playoff matchups are:
Thunder vs. Jazz, Lakers vs. Clippers; Spurs vs. Mavericks, Grizzlies vs. Nuggets.
The Lakers eventually fell to fourth, and the Los Angeles media were really angry with the Thunder.
On April 24, Coach Brooks had been rotating the table before, but he challenged the Lakers that night, but let go of the three's playing time, and then the Thunder defeated the Lakers again 116-104.
After the Lakers lost this game, the Grizzlies completely stood in the third place, and head coach Mike Brown was a little worried when he thought that after the first round, he would meet the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.
If the Lakers lose the Western Conference semifinals again this season, Mike Brown genuinely feels that his coaching career will not last long.
Due to the shortened season, there is very little time left for the teams to adjust, and the playoffs will officially start on the 28th, and some teams will only have a day off and will have to go to the road.
Coaches have been criticizing the league for its unreasonable schedule this season, but if the NBA league wants to make money, it will have to continue to squeeze their teams.
On the 27th, the NBA league announced the Player of the Month for April.
In the Eastern Conference, the Knicks had an 8-4 record at the end of the season, Carmelo Anthony won the award, and in the Western Conference, the Clippers led by Chris Paul had a 9-4 record and were successfully elected Player of the Month.
Although Russian fans believe that Li Ze should continue to win this award, it is clear that the NBA league has selectively ignored Li Ze and LeBron James in the final stage.
Although the Thunder team had a tight schedule at the end of the season, they finally got plenty of rest, and the coaching staff directly gave the players two days off, and only officially started recovery training on the morning of the 27th.
Durant has been in lemon essence since he came to the arena today, and his agent Kleiman told him that his average points per game was only 0.6 behind Li Ze, and he unfortunately missed out on the scoring title.
Just like that, the award is gone, and more importantly, the additional clauses were not activated, and a bonus was lost.
"Give me 0.6 points, at least I can still get a US knife, but now everyone has nothing to earn, and the team is cheapened for nothing!"
Durant has been muttering this sentence in his heart since the morning training, and what makes him feel even more painful is that Ibaka seems to be able to get the block king, but the child labor contract also has no incentive clause.
With the morning recovery session over, the high-spirited Turtle can't wait to start the playoffs:
"It was so easy to meet the Jazz in the first round, and while I don't like playing in Salt Lake City, the Jazz are certainly not our opponents."
"Maybe we're going to have some difficulties until the Western Conference Finals, and I've always respected opponents, but do the Jazz have All-Star players?"
Durant didn't think about the difficult situation in the first round at all, and in his opinion, the Jazz and Lakers have already entered the ranks of cats and dogs, and they are not worthy of being his opponents at all.
"Al Jefferson has good skills, Millsap is okay, uh, Hayward seems to be a rookie that the opponent has been vigorously developing, well, the opponent's strength is really average."
Li Ze said a few words, seeing that his teammates didn't care about these players at all, and in the end he just shrugged his shoulders, 36-30, which is the result of the Jazz team this season, such a first-round opponent is indeed not strong.
The atmosphere group was very confident when they saw the big guy, and they also followed the crazy slap and crazy poisonous milk themselves
On the 28th, the NBA league announced the leaders of the 2011~2012 regular season data.
The Magic's Dwight Howard was elected the rebounding champion this season with an average of 14.5 rebounds per game, and since '08, Howard only lost to Kevin Love last year, and won the award 4 times in 5 years, which is once again showing the strength of a super center.
The Celtics' Rajon Rondo was elected this season's assist king with an average of 11.7 assists per game, and Amerika's media reporters have called Rondo the Celtics' fourth biggest.
Chris Paul of the Clippers averaged 2.5 steals per game, defending the steal king, and also won the award 4 times in 5 years, and the call for the league's No. 1 point guard is getting louder and louder!
The Thunder's Serge Ibaka broke out in a contract year, averaging 3.7 blocks per game, becoming the king of blocks this season.
There is no suspense about the scoring champion, Li Ze successfully defended the scoring champion with an average of 28.6 points per game!
Amerika's commentators were a little confused when they saw Li Ze's regular-season stats.
He averaged 28.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.3 turnovers on 17.7 shots per game, shooting 56.0% from the field, 46.8% from three-point range and 94.3% from the free throw line.
With such outrageous data, Li Ze became the sixth player in NBA history to enter the 180 club, and at the age of 21, he is also the youngest 180 club player at present!
In addition, Li Ze also became the only player in NBA history to enter the 180 club and win the scoring title!
The NBA league also deliberately displayed the data of 5 other 180 club players on its official website to facilitate fans to compare, and the sports media of the Celestial Empire quickly reprinted this news.
On the Tiger Fight Forum, many fans can only chant Niu X when they see the data of the current 6 180 club players:
"Li Zeniu X! What is the league's No. 1 scoring guard! ”
"Lao Gon (Nash) entered the 180 club 4 times in 5 years, and the free throw shooting rate in the 06~07 season was only 0.1%, which is also outrageous!"
"Larry Bird is so fierce? In the 1987-88 season, he averaged 52.7%+41.4%+91.6%, averaging 29.9 points, 9.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, and averaged more points per game than Li Ze? ”
"Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki are also outstanding! This kind of record is really bull X! ”
"Is the MVP stable now? The team's record and average data per game all crushed James, Li Zeniu X! ”
"It's all because Bosh is pulling his hips, otherwise I Zhan will definitely be able to get the first record in the league, and I should really trade Bosh away and change to a reliable center."
"In order to make James break through easily, Bosh has to run to the three-point line, and now James is blaming his teammates again?"
"This kind of data is useless except for good looks, superstars still have to look at the championship, the first person in the active team of 5 champions!"
"It's laughing to death, the active first person was blown up in the regular season, this season Li Ze has thrown off Kobe Bryant by a grade, don't blow it in the future, prepare to retire!"
“.”
Although the playoffs officially started that night, on the 28th, America's ball critics collectively became Li Zechui.
In TNT's Inside the NBA program, host Ernnie Johnson took the Big Three to discuss Li Ze's regular season stats in detail:
"Chuck, your old-school basketball theory is going to be outdated, Kayce hit 216 three-pointers this season, averaging 3.3 per game, the league's most three-pointers per game, and it turns out that increasing three-point shooting hasn't made him any less efficient."
Kenny Smith immediately took over the conversation, looked at the high-level data list in his hand, and said quickly:
"With a PER of 31.7 and a WS of 15.8, Kayce also leads the league in these two stats, and of course I would like to praise LeBron James, whose PER of 30.7 is also very good."
"Times are different, the rules of the league are more and more skewed towards perimeter players, obviously, Kayce took that opportunity, it's hard to believe he's only 21 years old, this is his third season, I don't think he has any technical shortcomings anymore."
O'Neill also sent a word of praise, and then all three looked at Charles Barkley, feeling the gaze of the three, Barkley could only smile and say:
"I've always been a supporter of Kayce, and the Thunder will successfully defend their title this season!"
Upon hearing this, the three laughed out loud at the same time, and then host Ernnie Johnson immediately teased Barkley:
"Oh! Again, you should stick to your point of view and continue to criticize Kayce's style of play, which makes our show difficult! ”
"Come on, man! He's the sixth player to enter the 180 club, and the fans aren't stupid, so I don't want to get sprayed on Twitter. ”
On the night of the 28th, there were four playoff games, including one game in the Western Conference and three games in the Eastern Conference.
The Mavericks flew to San Antonio immediately after a day of rest, only to lose the game neatly that night, and the Spurs won easily 98-106.
In the Eastern Conference game, 67:100, the Heat easily defeated the Knicks; In the game between the Pacers and the Magic, 81:77, the Magic successfully counterattacked.
The game between the Bulls and the 76ers was not much suspense, 93-103, the Bulls easily defeated the opponent by 10 points.
After the game that night, the Knicks fans completely broke the defense, and many people directly scolded Carmelo Anthony for being a data brush, 3 of 15 from the field, only 11 points and 10 rebounds, is this the performance that the core players should have?
Especially after seeing LeBron James' performance of 32 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Wade's 19-of-13 performance, Knicks fans collectively turned into lemon essence.
Thinking of Stoudemire's performance of 9 points and 5 rebounds, it is even more bitter to say, which also makes Knicks fans on the Reddit forum run to the Suns section to complain that the Suns sold fakes.
On the evening of April 29, the Chesapeake Energy Arena was full, and the uniform team prepared white cheering T-shirts for the Russian City fans that night, and the fans entered the stadium early, and the atmosphere gradually became hot.
Russian City fans don't care about the opponent in the first round, do the Jazz have All-Star players? Most fans are convinced that tonight's game is all about abuse.
After the resignation of veteran coach Sloan, this season coach Tyrone Corbin led the Jazz back to the playoffs, which was supposed to be a happy thing, but the Jazz everyone thought of the Thunder's strength, and the sense of accomplishment of reaching the playoffs disappeared.
In the away dressing room, head coach Tyrone Corbin looked at his three main players on the outside, then tapped on the whiteboard and reminded loudly:
"We must do a good job of outside defense, delay in time when we encounter blocking, once the opponent makes a hand-to-hand pass, we must communicate in time on the court, and change the defense immediately after covering."
Devin Harris, Josh Howard, and Gordon Hayward could only nod in silence when they heard the head coach's words, and the three knew that trying to limit the Thunder trio was basically a dream.
Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson have been cheering their team-mates on, but unfortunately the atmosphere in the locker room is still very dull, and everyone knows what the opponent is like.
On the commentary bench of TNT on the spot, Steve Kerr also helped the Jazz with an idea before the game:
"There is a real gap between the two teams in terms of strength, but as long as the Jazz slow down the offensive tempo, resolutely hit the ball inside, and work hard to grab frontcourt rebounds and suppress the Thunder's conversion, as long as they do these things, they can beat the Thunder!"
“.”
Reggie Miller was speechless, everyone knows this routine, but no team in the league can do the above, suppressing the transition offense is simply not possible, the trio can hold the ball, and there is no way to limit it.
"I completely agree with you, the fans in the city are so passionate and hopefully we can give us a good game tonight."
Commentator Kevin Harlan also cooperated with the two guests to warm up for the game, and then forced suspense and advocated the defense of Hayward and Josh Howard.
As a result, after 5 minutes and 17 seconds of the first quarter of the game, the three people in the commentary box were a little embarrassed, and they blew too hard before the game, and the Jazz team completely pulled across.
The Russian fans at the scene were screaming excitedly at this time, and kept shouting loudly under the leadership of the DJ:
“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”
Devin Harris just hit the iron in the last round, and after the long rebound ball was picked up by the turtle, he immediately pushed the transition offense, and everyone on the Jazz team hurriedly retreated, and at this time they had just completed the defensive position.
Josh Howard, who was outside the three-point line, saw Li Ze receiving the ball, and his scalp suddenly became numb, stepped on the three-point line, lowered the center of gravity of the defense, and stared at Li Ze's movements.
After receiving the pass on the left flank, Li Ze released the ball with his right hand, and after dribbling the ball under his hip twice in a row, his body twisted concealedly, and at the same time he turned his hips, he directly exerted force under his feet, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Although Josh Howard had been prepared, Li Ze's first step was fast and fierce, and he was instantly stuck half of his body, so he could only slide back desperately, and Li Ze, who had traveled to the blocking position, suddenly turned around in the direction of the baseline.
Easily shake off Josh Howard's defense, connect to the left hand and dribble vigorously on the spot, with the help of the ball's rebound force, the left side near the baseline position easily leans back and shoots!
"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.
The Russian fans at the scene cheered loudly again, Li Ze looked calm, such a defense could not cause him any trouble at all, and he simply high-fived and celebrated, and immediately retreated to the half.
"Alright! It looks like the Jazz still need to adjust to the playoff intensity, and at 9:16, Al Jefferson needs to step up and help the team score! ”
Steve Kerr saw that the Jazz's offense was a little stretched after the opening, and he was very helpless.
Every time he came to the city this season, the commentary game was spent almost half-time, and as a result, such a scene appeared in the playoffs, and Steve Kerr wanted to leave work immediately at the thought that the second half might have to talk about player gossip.
Although Devin Harris is fast, the speed of the turtle is not slow, and the home game also makes the turtle's defensive action more and more rough, Harris was hit by the turtle just after half the court, and then hurriedly turned his back to protect the ball.
Millsap came to the top of the arc to answer, and after receiving the pass, he quickly gave the ball to Al Jefferson, who was in the low post on the right.
In the face of Perkins' defense, after three threats, he put the ball with his right hand, arched to the paint area, immediately turned around, faced the block, threw hard with his left hand, and the ball stumbled and fell into the basket.
Before everyone on the Jazz team had time to rejoice, the Thunder quickly served the baseline ball, and the turtle noticed that the opponent had completed the retreat again, and immediately gave the ball to Ibaka in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.
Durant on the right wing outside the three-point line swayed to the right, then suddenly ran back to the left and easily received a pass from Ibaka.
Hayward hurriedly defended, but Durant did not rush to attack, but after protecting the ball, he completed a hand-to-hand exchange with Li Ze at the top of the arc, made a cover with the situation, and then immediately moved to the left wing outside the three-point line.
Although the cover was only hung for a moment, Josh Howard's defense was half a beat slower, and Hayward was forced to switch defenses, seeing Li Ze break through with the ball in his right hand and desperately slide backwards in an attempt to delay.
Feeling the opponent's defensive movement, Li Ze's right hand in the march suddenly pulled back with a large amount of hip, and Hayward was suddenly shaken and staggered, and he had no time to adjust the center of gravity of the defense, so he could only watch Li Ze make a quick stop jump shot at the free throw line.
"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!
With this goal, the first quarter of the game entered the official timeout, and the Jazz were already numb, returning to the bench without saying a word, and the thick chicken soup of head coach Tyrone Corbin was ineffective.
The Russian fans at the scene were completely high, and many fans could feel that the team had not yet made a force, and in this case, they scored 18 points in the first half of the game, and they could almost enjoy the victory.
After the timeout, Derrick Pfeivers replaced the out-of-form Millsap, and the Jazz took two big men and tried to fight for the frontcourt rebound, but in the first round, Al Jefferson hit a shot under the basket.
The rebound was successfully protected by Perkins, and as soon as the pass was made to the turtle, the Thunder pushed the transition offense again, and this time the Jazz made a mistake in the defensive position.
After the turtle accelerated in a straight line to carry Harris, he easily hit the basket, and Derrick Feves, who had just appeared on the court, seemed to have not moved his body yet, and the jump was half a beat slower, and he saw the turtle and turtle pick up the basket with his left hand.
"Oh!"
After completing the layup, the turtle monster screamed and quickly retreated, and Al Jefferson had just returned to the basket at this time, which made the Russian city fans on the scene even more excited, the two teams were not at the same level at all!
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
Amid the on-site defensive cheers, the Thunder significantly tightened up their defense in the second half of the first quarter, and Harris was entangled by the turtle and could only shoot quickly.
Josh Howard had just completed a hand-to-hand pass with Pfeifers on the line, and before he could release the ball, Li Ze saw the opportunity and steals directly.
The audience in the front row couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Li Ze snatching the ball from the opponent's arms, and then began to scream again, and Josh Howard was even more dragged by Li Ze and stumbled, almost hitting the street directly, and could only watch Li Ze accelerate through the half.
Aiming at the rear Durant has followed up, after rushing to the paint area, Li Ze jumped with both feet, quickly took off, after the crotch changed hands, he threw the ball into the air, and Durant in the rear jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand with his right hand!
"Oh! Wonderful cooperation, the Jazz team should be careful, once the point difference reaches double digits, it will become very difficult to chase the score again! ”
Reggie Miller didn't expect the game to go so quickly, noticing the silence on the Jazz bench, and already thinking about what player gossip to talk about in the second half
In the next few minutes, the two big men of the Jazz team were completely numb, and the Thunder team in addition to switching offense, each round would first play the 4th and 5th positions, the tactics were very simple and crude, but the effect was exceptional.
Seeing Li Ze hit a three-pointer against Al Jefferson's defense at the top of the arc with the help of Perkins' blocking, head coach Tyrone Corbin was also stunned, and the rookie coach toured the bench lineup, and finally did not choose to rotate personnel.
By the end of the first quarter, the Jazz players on the court had only one thought in their minds: Let's end the game quickly.
At 22:36, the Thunder team beat the opponent in one quarter!
Despite the remaining three quarters of the game, the Russian fans in the stadium were already celebrating the victory, and with a lead of more than 10 points, the Thunder would not have rolled over.
During the intermission, Li Ze simply replenished his water, and the intensity of the game in the first quarter was very small, 4 of 6 in a single quarter, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and easily scored 10 points, and the Jazz team behaved like a rookie team.
"Maybe we can think about the next round of opponents, the opponents are the same as in the regular season, I even suspect they have forgotten to foul, this year's first round is much easier than last year!"
Durant felt that his theory of cats and dogs had been further confirmed, and his words were not polite at all.
"It's certainly not going to be easy on the road in Salt Lake City, try to extend some more lead in the second quarter and end the game at halftime!"
Li Ze stood up and moved his body, clashed fists with the bench lineup, and then immediately walked to the court to wait for the kick-off, and the Thunder took the lead in the second quarter of the game.
After dribbling through the half, I observed the situation on the court, and I was a little surprised that the Jazz team put a big four small, Shennongjia James Demar Carroll replaced Millsap, obviously, the opponent was afraid of being blocked and dismantled.
As soon as Hayward saw that Collison wanted to go up to cover, he hurriedly chose to defend, and as soon as the opponent's defense moved, Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and then wrapped the ball behind his left hand sharply.
The ball instantly came to Li Ze's right front, and seeing Al Jefferson's defense follow, Li Ze pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction, shook off Hayward and then passed directly between Collison and Jefferson.
Before Al Jefferson could react, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand, easily broke through to the paint area, and then immediately jumped with both feet, ignoring Carol who jumped up and blocked in front of him, his head was flat, his body was bent into a big bow, and he was a powerful tomahawk-style violent buckle!
“Kayce Cross over! OH! Slam dunk! ”
Commentator Kevin Harlan saw that Li Ze had deducted Carroll, and immediately shouted excitedly, Shennongjia James is not the real James, and he fell enough after landing, and the referee hurriedly signaled the team doctor to enter the field.
Seeing such a situation, Li Ze couldn't help scratching his head, and when he saw the other party standing up, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort:
"How does it feel, Bro? I swear, I have absolutely no ill will! It's just that the force is too strong. ”
"It's a wonderful dunk, but next time I encounter this situation, I will definitely pull you straight down!"
The black brothers are all good-looking, and Carol doesn't want to admit that she was stunned, and in the face of Li Ze's inquiry, she was calm on the surface, but her other hand was always rubbing her buttocks
The Russian fans at the scene also gave applause to the tough guy, and in the next few minutes, Carroll's defense speed was much slower, and Al Jefferson didn't say much, after all, the online defense was his problem.
Coach Tyrone Corbin on the sidelines noticed that the Thunder's defense had changed from man-to-man to combo, and he was even more helpless.
There are obviously good open opportunities on the outside, but Harris and Hayward all hit the iron, and Josh Howard can't count on it, and the 24% three-point shooting rate this season has long been put a big step forward by the Thunder.
In this round, Al Jefferson just received the ball in the low post on the left side, and Soflosa, who was in the elbow area, was the first to cooperate with Collison to wrap up, and Al Jefferson returned the ball to Harris on the outside for the first time.
The Jazz quickly passed the ball, Josh Howard successfully got a big open opportunity on the right wing outside the three-point line, and seeing that Li Ze and Cook neither had the intention of stepping forward to pounce, Josh Howard made a jumper.
"Bang!" Hit a piece of iron.
The Russian fans at the scene immediately cheered loudly, the long rebound ball popped up, and fell directly into Li Ze's arms, and the Thunder immediately launched a conversion offense, and Hayward stepped forward to delay as soon as possible.
While steadily protecting the ball, Li Ze observed the running position of his teammates, dribbled past the three-point line, and suddenly dribbled behind his back with his left hand and returned to the three-point line.
At this time, Hayward noticed that almost all the other members of the Thunder team were standing on the bottom line, thinking that Li Ze was going to play alone again, he hurriedly lowered the center of gravity of his body, noticed that the opponent's feet were standing parallel, and Li Ze suddenly pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction.
The body shook to the left confusingly, and the moment Hayward's defensive center of gravity shifted to the left, the left hand changed direction under the crotch very quickly, and then the force under his feet accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
was shaken continuously, Hayward was already numb, and hurriedly slid quickly to the left back, only to see Li Ze dribble with his right hand and suddenly dribble under his crotch, and then retreat directly to the three-point line.
Hayward completely gave up the defense and stood in place, watching Li Ze shoot easily!
“Kayce! Cross over! Open the three! ”
“BANG!”
Although the difference has reached 21 points, commentator Kevin Harlan is still happy when he sees Li Ze's goal, and cheers with the Russian city fans at the scene.
Noticing Hayward's depressed expression, Li Ze just chuckled, the golden [Master of Ball Control] + [Dribble Master] was simply a random killing in the face of Meng Xin.
This kind of three-point step after the hip turn is also a technical move formulated by the entire training team according to his physical coordination, as long as the shooting space is shaken, with the bonus brought by the badge, the shooting rate can be close to 5%.
The huge point difference allowed Li Ze to be substituted with 4 minutes and 34 seconds left in the second quarter, and Brooks head coach patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and he was very satisfied with the play of Kim's thigh.
In the last 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Jazz were still playing iron from the outside, but fortunately, Millsap, who was on the court again, regained his touch and scored consecutive points in the last few rounds, allowing the Jazz to score 23 points in the second quarter.
At halftime, 45:66, the Thunder had completely sealed the win.
In the second half of the game, the defensive intensity of both sides dropped a lot, and it was clear that the Jazz had plans to abandon the game, and the thick chicken soup sent by head coach Tyrone Corbin at halftime did not work at all.
Li Ze and Durant played a little relaxed in the third quarter, while Turtle and Ibaka were full of energy on the court, and when the Thunder were replaced by a joint defense, the Jazz's offense was completely stretched.
Al Jefferson didn't play again after the official timeout in the third quarter, and then Millsap was also replaced, and the Jazz gradually switched to the atmosphere group, and when the game started in the fourth quarter, the game completely went into garbage time.
"It was a great half! Kayce was impeccable with 10-of-14 shooting in the third quarter, including 4-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, with 28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. ”
Reggie Miller watched the atmosphere on the field and the players began to score points, and immediately pulled the topic back to Li Ze.
"I'm very disappointed with the Jazz's defensive performance, they don't seem to be able to adjust from the regular season, and against the Thunder's trio, the defense has to show toughness."
"Durant also only made 4 free throws in this game, scored 26 points, and can foul when necessary against the Thunder's super scorer!"
Steve Kerr began to output the Jazz's defense again, and Kevin Harlan on the side saw that the court was already messing around, and suddenly interjected:
"Fouling Kayce is certainly not a good choice, 94% of the free throw shooting percentage, fouling is giving away points, God! This is the most accurate free-throw player of all time scoring champions! ”
“.”
With 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the game, the Chesapeake Energy Arena had turned into a sea of white, and the fans in the city were frantically celebrating the first win of the playoffs, and the big score easily defeated the opponent, which was definitely a good lottery!
The game time ran out, and in the end, 91:113, the Thunder team playing at home defeated the Jazz team, and the series score came to 1:0.
After the game, the new Hayward looked extremely disappointed, and he only scored 12 points in the game, most of which came in the third quarter.
Thinking that Li Ze, who was the same age as him, might be about to win the second MVP, Hayward's heart was crazy about lemons, and the players of the two teams shook hands and greeted each other, and the lost Jazz team quickly walked back to the players' tunnel.
"What a pity! If the Jazz don't replace the main team in the fourth quarter, I will get a double-double! ”
Turtle showed a regretful expression, this game got 20 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 turnovers, he was going to focus on passing in the fourth quarter, but the Jazz didn't give him this opportunity at all.
"It's okay, anyway, there are at least three games ahead, and the data is not a problem!"
Li Ze is already used to taking the pot, and the golden [Sticky Hands] badge has a really good bonus effect, and in the vegetable abuse competition, the turtle's pot can usually be converted into an assist.
The cheers of the Russian city fans were heard in his ears, Li Ze hurriedly waved his hand, the difference in strength between the two teams was too big, and he began to look forward to the opponent in the semifinals at this time
The game between the Thunder and Jazz was the first to end, and in the other three games, the Grizzlies at home easily defeated the Nuggets, 88:103, and the Grizzlies almost clocked in the third quarter.
In the game between the Lakers and the Clippers, the two sides fought to the end, and the Lakers almost led for 4 quarters, but in the last two minutes, the Clippers played a wave of 15:2 and successfully reversed the game, 99:98, and the Clippers took the lead.
However, considering that the two sides are in the same city derby, there is no difference between home and away at all, and it should be said that the Clippers are all away. In this case, it doesn't matter if you win first or not.
Kobe Bryant was 11-of-24 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free-throw line, with 31 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers, while the Clippers on the other side were almost fully staffed, and Nick Young, who came off the bench, played well and scored a game-high 19 points.
In the game between the Eastern Conference Celtics and the Hawks, the Hawks played well, relying on the advantage of rebounding, 74:83, successfully protecting the home court.
Coach Rivers was very cautious and did not choose to let Ray Allen play with an injury, and despite the defeat on the road, Amerika's media reporters are still optimistic about the old big three.
Li Ze, who returned to his home in Russia, couldn't help but pout when he saw the news about the Celtics, these ball critics must want to see the big three matchup.
If both the Celtics and the Heat reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and once LeBron James loses, then the sports media will definitely celebrate the New Year directly!
Since the next schedule is also very intensive, he simply looked at the results of G1, and immediately collapsed on the big bed after a simple shower.
In the dream training space, noticing the prompt of a new badge appearing on the control panel, Li Ze entered the achievement room with some curiosity, and when he saw the new bronze badge in front of him, he immediately touched it:
Achievement Badge [Dribble Veteran]: 1/50
Reduces the amount of stamina required to perform dribbling motions.
Li Ze saw the 4 words of the dribbling veteran, and suddenly realized that he was about to get rid of the identity of a new player, and when he thought that after this season, some veterans would fade out of the playoffs, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"No one can resist the invasion of time, competitive sports are cruel"
