Chapter 263: Attack and Defense (10,000 Character Chapter)

In NBA circles, so-called team basketball and talent basketball have always been debated, and although the NBA is a big sports reality show, many coaches are from the academy.

Tactical, disciplined, and iron-fisted, there are certainly many such coaches, but when they come to the NBA, there are not many successes, and in the end, fans like to watch superstar basketball, and many times coaches will compromise.

Steve Kerr, who has followed Michael Jordan to a championship, was drawn to Popovich's tactical thinking when he was an assistant coach with the Spurs.

At halftime in the Western Conference Finals G1, the Thunder played an excellent offense in the second quarter, and at halftime, the Russian City fans on the scene were cheering, and on the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller was in a good mood and couldn't help but tease Steve Kerr:

"The Spurs are really good at sharing the ball, but I think they need a superstar like Kayce, Duncan is old, and maybe it's time for the Spurs to think about a new generation."

Steve Kerr had a happy quarter, and in the second quarter, the Thunder completely destroyed the Spurs' defense with a conversion offense and an unreasonable star single, which made him very depressed, and when he heard his partner's words, he retorted helplessly:

"The Thunder are really good, but from a tactical point of view, the Thunder have been playing more and more monolithically since their rookie season, and this season, they have come to rely heavily on the individual abilities of Kayce and Durant."

"In terms of tactical options, I think the Thunder should be a little bit richer, and once the star players are not in good shape, too many singles can quickly get the team into trouble."

When Reggie Miller heard this, he immediately retorted:

"The Spurs had 13 turnovers in the first half compared to the Thunder's four, and relying on star players in the playoffs was the right thing to do."

"And real superstars, you can't be limited in the playoffs, they're going to keep up the good game, Kayce is like that, Durant is doing really well this year, that's why they can get a super cap salary."

Commentator Kevin Harlan saw that the two had a tendency to quarrel, and hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, changing the topic and saying:

"We can expect to see how the Spurs adjust in the second half, with the Spurs rotating 11 players in the first two rounds of the series, and on the bench, Coach Popovich has a lot of options!"

At halftime, Coach Popovich first sent out thick chicken soup, and did not talk about tactical adjustments at all, and at the beginning of the third quarter of the game, he did not play any tricks, but honestly took back the main lineup.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and the double-digit lead made the players completely relaxed, and the happy Russian City fans began to cheer for the home team excitedly:

“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”

After halftime, Turtle Turtle noticed that the Spurs were still marking defense, and immediately made offensive gestures, Danny Green saw that Li Ze began to ask for the ball with his back in the left blocking area, and defended halfway forward several times, preventing Li Ze from receiving the ball easily.

But there is an all-round gap between the two in terms of physical fitness, game experience, and positioning skills, Li Ze has much more playoff experience than the other party, and usually opposite him is a superstar in the league, and Danny Green is simply not enough in front of him.

Simply leaning on the opponent with his body, every time the opponent wants to go around the front defense, Li Ze can easily predict, easily stick the opponent firmly behind him, receive the turtle's high-throw pass, put the ball with his right hand, and quickly play with his back.

With two clicks, Danny Green's chest was stuffy after being hit, and at the same time, he took two steps back, and was once again slammed into the paint area by Li Ze.

When Li Ze used his left foot as the axis and pulled the ball back sharply with his right hand, Danny Green was completely confused and didn't know how to defend at all.

Taking advantage of the time when the opponent's defense was distracted, Li Ze's body twisted forward, and at the same time, he exerted force under his feet, twisted his body, and threw a backward jump shot in the blocking area!

“Kayce Fade away! He get it! ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan saw Li Ze easily hit a step-back jumper, and his tone became more and more brisk.

The crowd continued to cheer, and Coach Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't want to yell at his players anymore, and he could certainly see that Danny Green had done his best.

Noticing that Danny Green was stunned as he watched Li Ze retreat, Tim Duncan immediately went over and patted his teammate to remind the other party to continue to stay focused.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Duncan crossed the baseline to receive the ball at the right blocking position, faced Perkins' defense, a simple three-threat, and then made a quick jump shot from mid-range.

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

Obviously, after the second quarter of the game, the Spurs also began to try to give the ball to the core players, and some ineffective passing balls did not get points, but simple superstar singles, and the effect was exceptional.

For the next three minutes or so, the Spurs slowed down the pace of offense, while the offensive end tried to finish Parker and Duncan, and everyone else turned into tools waiting to eat cake, and the two sides began to score consecutive points.

With 7:49 left in the third quarter, Kawhi Leonard got an open three-pointer in the bottom left corner, received a pass from Dio, and immediately jumped:

"Bang!" Empty three-pointers.

The long rebound ball popped up and collapsed directly into Li Ze's arms, and the ball in his right hand accelerated across the halfcourt, Danny Green was always firmly attached to his side, and Li Ze at the top of the arc suddenly dribbled behind his back, immediately shaking Danny Green to a stagger.

Noticing that the Spurs had completed their retreat, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture, and then gave the ball to Perkins, who was on the right elbow of the free throw line, and then cut inside in the middle and moved to the right bottom corner.

The Thunder were patient on offense, with two big men hand-to-hand cover, the trio quickly relayed from beyond the three-point line, and with 12 seconds left on the offensive clock, Durant at the top of the arc held the ball in his left hand and moved to the left wing.

Quickly completed a hand-to-hand pass with Li Ze, and made a cover with the situation, Kawhi Leonard saw his teammates out of position, changed the defense as soon as possible, and after receiving the pass, Li Ze's hip was hidden and twisted, reducing the center of gravity and exerting force at his feet, and accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

The sudden acceleration made Kawhi Leonard subconsciously slide backwards, only to see Li Ze take a big step, dribble vigorously on the spot with his right hand, and then retreat to the three-point line and shoot easily!

"Huh!" Three-pointers hit steadily.

"Brilliant goal! Very simple technical moves, quick stops, easy to get out of defense, Kayce has even better combination this season! ”

Reggie Miller on the commentary bench smiled and immediately started blowing, and Coach Popovich on the sidelines immediately asked for a timeout out of caution, and every time he saw the Thunder hit a three-pointer, the old man was worried that the opponent would suddenly explode.

The Spurs' offense slowed down after the timeout, but this time Tim Duncan's mid-range shot was ironed, the rebound was picked up by Ibaka, and the Thunder made it through the half again quickly.

Danny Green put all his defensive attention on Li Ze, and when the turtle played the No. 5 position on the line to block the attack, Dio noticed Ibaka's movement and immediately reminded Danny Green loudly:

"Change the guard!"

But in the midst of the loud noise in the arena, Danny Green didn't even hear the reminder from his teammates.

Li Ze, who was on the left wing outside the three-point line, saw that the turtle began to break through, and immediately started, using Ibaka's upper cover to move to the bottom left corner.

Danny Green squeezed through agilely, and Dio was about to change defenses, and the two of them pounced on Li Ze at the same time, but they collided with each other, watching Li Ze catch the ball in the bottom corner and shoot easily!

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

The Russian City fans at the scene saw Danny Green being knocked to the floor by his teammates, and immediately burst into laughter, and Popovich on the sidelines didn't say a word, but shook his head helplessly in his heart, the lineup really needs to be run-in.

With two consecutive three-pointers, the difference instantly came to 19 points, and the Spurs began to get anxious!

After Tony Parker dribbled through the half, he used Duncan's block to get rid of the turtle defense, break through the middle, turn around in the middle of the road, and come to the basket to throw.

Despite Perkins' disposition, Ibaka has long since given up on the defender, retracted to the basket, and sent the pegboard hat directly! The ball popped up, and the turtle successfully controlled the ball, and the Thunder immediately launched a conversion attack.

The Spurs desperately retreated, and Danny Green was a little frustrated, seeing Li Ze receive the ball on the wing again after halftime, and immediately his scalp was numb.

Noticing that Danny Green's feet were standing in parallel, Li Ze, who was outside the three-point line, suddenly pushed the ball with his right hand and changed direction, then lowered his center of gravity, and his left hand instantly changed direction under his hip, and then accelerated with his right hand holding the ball with all his might.

The golden [Emergency Stop Master] + [First Step Master] brought a huge bonus to Li Ze's start, Danny Green hurriedly slid backwards, but at the moment when the two made physical contact, they were immediately hit and lost their center of gravity, and the defense was completely out of position.

Duncan under the basket was just directing his teammates to defend and settle down, when he heard the huge cheers from the Russian city fans, he quickly turned his head and found that Li Ze had rushed to the restricted area.

Duncan subconsciously jumped up to block it, but the jump height was not enough, it just hit Li Ze's shoulder, and he fought in the air, Li Ze was not affected in any way, grabbed the ball with one hand in his right hand, and the tomahawk-style buckle was strong and heavy!

"Squeak!"

“OH! Kayce Slam dunk! My god! ”

Seeing Tim Duncan almost hit the street after landing, the commentator Kevin Harlan shouted excitedly, and Li Ze, who completed the dunk, looked calm and beat his chest at the camera under the basket.

The Russian city fans at the scene saw Li Ze silently pretending to be X, and immediately broke out into huge cheers, and everyone in the Thunder team was also excited, and immediately surrounded and shouted.

"That's the individual ability of the superstar, Kayce destroyed the Spurs from the perimeter again, plus a free throw, the margin will come to 22 points, the Spurs are in a scoring drought, and someone has to step up and score!"

Steve Kerr looked at the Spurs that were about to collapse, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity that Duncan was still old.

Danny Green completely broke the defense this time, and his defense was not successful in this quarter.

And because of the huge amount of energy on the defensive end and a little crotch pull on the offensive end, he didn't dare to dribble in front of Li Ze at all, for fear of being accidentally stealed.

Li Zejia hit a solid shot, Popovich asked for a timeout again, and the old man saw that everyone in the Spurs who returned to the bench looked depressed, and looked at the point difference again, feeling that the game was almost over.

In the remaining 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter, Li Ze turned on the [Enter the Rhythm] Buff, Ginobili just came on as a substitute, and was very uncomfortable by Li Zefang, and did not score a point in the last few minutes.

On the offensive end, Durant took over the offensive banner again, whether it was a single or a catch-and-shoot shot, all of them were easily hit.

In the end, the new Leonard was still inexperienced and could not limit Durant's offense at all, and with 20 seconds left, he was fouled by a big loop.

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the city fans were already celebrating the victory, and Coach Popovich was back on the bench.

At 17:32 in the single quarter, after three quarters of the game, at 62:90, the Spurs had fallen behind by 28 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.

During the intermission, Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand and said to Steve Cole next to him with a smile:

"The playoffs are the stage for stars, and the Spurs don't look like they're being able to live up to their talent on the perimeter at the moment, and if head coach Popovich can't fix the perimeter defense in the series, then I'm sure the Western Conference Finals will be decided soon."

"11-of-16, including 3-of-5 three-pointers, 5-of-5 free throws, 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, and if Kayce keeps up that efficiency, the Thunder won't be able to stop."

Hearing his partner's words, the corners of Steve Kerr's mouth twitched, Li Ze scored 1/3 of the team's score alone, and the Spurs only scored 62 points in the third quarter of the game, how could the Spurs withstand such scoring ability.

"I'm sure head coach Popovich will adjust in time, maybe try to use Stephen Jackson against Durant and Kawhi Leonard to defend Kayce, of course, if you lose two away games in a row, then the pressure on G3 will be great."

Steve Kerr also stopped praising the so-called team basketball, the Spurs were going up and down on the outside, just couldn't score, and this scene also made him look stupid,

In the fourth quarter of the game, it turned into garbage time, and the three of them began to make a preview for the next game on the TNT commentary bench.

Perhaps due to the Western Conference Finals, the atmosphere of the two teams played after the game, and the scene was a little ugly, but the Russian fans at the scene didn't care about these at all, and the Thunder cheered loudly every time they scored.

The referee didn't want to watch the rookies peck each other anymore, the game went fast, and in the end, 86:112, the Thunder beat the Spurs at home, and the series score came to 1:0!

The Spurs looked calm after the loss, and after the game, the players of both sides simply shook hands, and Li Ze, who scored a game-high 30 points, was interviewed by TNT's famous courtside reporter Craig Sager.

This person wore a blue and white plaid suit today, Li Ze saw that the other party looked happy, and immediately smiled and teased:

"Mr. Sager, how does it feel to see an old friend lose?"

Craig Sag heard Li Ze's ridicule, pretended to rub the corners of his eyes, and then said in an exaggerated tone:

"I'm sorry for Popovich, but I like the Thunder, I've been a fan of yours for a long time, Kayce, congratulations on your victory in Western Conference Finals G1, you guys look like you won very easily, what do you expect from the next game?"

"We're going to protect the home field, the Spurs have a lot of experience, the playoffs start with a win on the road, of course we don't give up the initiative to the opponent, I'm going to give it my all in every playoff game."

Craig Sag nodded, then asked with a smile again:

"I mean, if the Thunder make it to the Finals, which team would you like to face more, which team do you think will win tomorrow's Eastern Conference Finals?"

"I'm more optimistic about the home team, I believe the Heat team will not make mistakes, of course, if it reaches the Finals, I don't really care who the opponent is, no one can limit the Thunder, we will bring the O'Brien Cup back to Russia!"

After this post-game interview was broadcast, many lemon essence fans immediately broke the defense, and Amerika's Comi also had a lot, and when they saw the Thunder win, they couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.

That night, the Reddit Thunder section was washed again, Coremi frantically complained about Li Ze's arrogance, Jamie and Heat fans also joined in the fun, and then Cavaliers fans immediately sprayed with Jammy, and various posts came in waves.

On May 28, the Thunder team had a simple recovery training, and the schedule of the Western Conference Finals was also very tight, with less than two days of rest, so it was difficult for the two sides to make too many adjustments.

Coach Brooks and the coaching staff are full of confidence, through the first game, they can see that the Spurs' outside line is paper tigers, Li Ze is the absolute strong point, and Durant's performance is not bad.

In the G1 game, Durant scored 25 points on 8-of-16 shooting, and Turtle Turtle scored 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting.

"It would be very interesting if the Heat lost the Eastern Conference Finals, but when I think about the Celtics and the 76ers going to tie seven, I still think the Heat will definitely win."

At lunchtime, Durant, who turned into a keyboard warrior last night, was in a particularly good mood and couldn't help but imagine his Finals opponents.

"The Celtics are definitely going to have a physical problem, and it's hard for the veterans to get back to their best after a seven-tiebreaker, so the league should change the Finals schedule this year, 2-3-2 is a bit unfair to us."

Hearing the turtle's words, Li Ze found that his teammates seemed to have gone to heaven and didn't take the Spurs team into account at all, so he hurriedly reminded:

"Maybe it's better to wait until we get the match point and then think about that, the Spurs will definitely not play on the road!"

"It's okay, Kayce, anyway, with you, the other party can't limit your play at all, and we will definitely advance easily."

"The GDP combination is old, and the Spurs are playing the regular season and sweeping all the way to the Finals, which is really cool!"

The atmosphere group followed the wind, and everyone decided that the Thunder team was going to continue to sweep, Li Ze saw that his teammates were crazy about poisoning themselves, and he was powerless to complain in his heart:

"I hope it won't be overturned."

In the Eastern Conference finals that night, the Celtics' offense was completely stretched, Ray Allen was 1 of 7, and the Heat relied on the excellent play of James and Wade to successfully defeat the opponent 79:93.

LeBron James scored 32 points on 13-of-22 shooting, Wade scored 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting, and the brothers' basketball form became more and more impressive, and various ball critics once again sang praises for the Heat after the game.

The NBA league also seems to have begun to build momentum for the Heat and Thunder, and the young Big Three rematch, which everyone likes to see!

On the evening of the 29th, the Western Conference Finals G2 officially started, and compared with the game the day before yesterday, the two sides did not change the starting lineup, and on the Spurs' side, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, and Burrese Dior continued to start.

In the game that night, the Spurs' offense suddenly lost power in the second quarter, scoring only 17 points in a single quarter, while the Thunder easily scored 32 points, and at the end of the half, at 43:60, the Thunder led by 17 points!

The Russian fans in the stadium have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game.

"The amazing Ibaka, who scored 14 points from 6-of-6 in the first half, Kayce delivered 5 assists in the half, 5-of-9 and 4-of-4 free throws, and also scored 14 points.

Reggie Miller also watched it and praised the Thunder's performance wildly.

Steve Kerr didn't want to mention any team basketball at this time, Tim Duncan was 4 of 9 in the first half, 1 of 3 free throws, and scored a Spurs-high 9 points, such scoring ability is obviously a big difference compared with the Thunder!

"The Spurs need to make adjustments, the current starting lineup simply can't limit the Thunder's offense on the defensive end, and hopefully Coach Popovich can try a different lineup combination in the second half."

Coach Popovich seemed to have heard Steve Kerr's suggestion and brought on Stephen Jackson in the second half to replace Danny Green, who had a bad hand in the half.

But the night was destined to belong to Ibaka, who completely relaxed after leading by a big score, and remained hot in the second half, 5-of-5 from mid-range.

In the entire second half of the game, Li Ze completely suppressed the new Kawhi Leonard on both offensive and defensive ends, and although Tim Duncan scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the second half, he still couldn't narrow the difference.

In the cheers of the fans in the Russian city, 99:116, the Thunder team fighting at home once again defeated the opponent, and the series score became 2:0.

Li Ze asked for the game ball after the game, Ibaka was 11 of 11 tonight, 4 of 4 free throws, and got 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Turtle and Durant directly attacked the best player of the night with two bottles of ice water, Ibaka was doused and screamed, Li Ze came to the camera with the game ball, threw the ball to the opponent, and then said loudly:

"Hit 11 shots in the Western Conference Finals, you're our superstar tonight!"

On the morning of May 30, on TNT's Inside the NBA program, host Ernnie Johnson took the Big Three and frantically praised the performance of the Thunder, never mentioning the previous optimism about the Spurs.

"It's unbelievable, the Thunder will definitely advance easily, in the G2 game, Kayce was 8 of 15, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 25 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, and many times the Spurs can only choose to foul to stop him."

Kenny Smith is still playing the role of Li Zechui, and Charles Barkley has also become a wallgrass, and he also followed the wind:

"The Thunder's role players are getting better and better, and I think they're going to make it to the Finals with ease, and the Spurs should be thinking about a regeneration, and Tim Duncan is no longer the all-powerful power forward he used to be."

"Maybe this year will be a rematch between the Heat and the Thunder, and I expect LeBron James to complete his revenge, he lost the MVP this season, and believe me, LeBron in the Finals will prove himself again!"

O'Neal still supports James, crazy poisoned milk Heat, host Earnie Johnson heard the words of the three, and immediately said with a smile:

"It looks like you'd all like to see the young Big Three face off, but I think the Celtics still have a chance, and the veterans won't throw in easily!"

In the Eastern Conference Finals that night, the Heat was almost overturned, and the offense suddenly lost power in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics successfully tied the score, and the two sides entered overtime.

In overtime, Rondo scored all 12 points for the Celtics, and the Heat's Wade stepped up again and kept standing at the free throw line to score points for the Heat.

At 12:16 in overtime, the full-time score was 111:115, and the Heat team struggled to protect the home court, and the series score also came to 2:0.

LeBron James finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 7-of-20 shooting, including 2-of-6 three-pointers and 18-of-24 free throws, while Wade was 8-of-15 from the field and 7-of-11 from the free-throw line, scoring 23 points.

The performance of the two was once again praised by various sports media.

On the night of the 31st, in the Western Conference Finals G3, when the Spurs were on the verge of elimination, all the Spurs exploded, and Tony Parker once again broke the tortoise!

16 of 21, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, 34 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 turnovers, under the leadership of Parker, 111:120, the Spurs pulled one back at home, so that this series still retains suspense.

Losing a game, the Thunder didn't suffer too much, after all, 111 points showed that their offense was fine.

However, Durant looked very depressed, tonight's game, the new Leonard also performed very well, 7 of 12, close to 6 percent of the shooting rate to get 18 points, obviously Durant is a little too much.

"I'm going to lock up that rookie with facial paralysis in the next game, 120 points, Shet! The Spurs are really crazy. ”

Turtle Turtle sat in his seat, a little speechless at the thought of Parker's performance, the opponent had beaten him in the regular season, and the French sports car was sometimes so accurate in the emergency stop mid-range.

"It's okay, we still have home advantage anyway, pay attention to the opponent's high block in the next game."

Li Ze is very aware of the defensive problems of the Turtles, Parker is fast, the Spurs cover is of high quality, and once the opponent finds the mid-range touch, it is really difficult to defend.

There was still only one day to adjust, and on the evening of June 2, head coach Popovich stood in the middle of the locker room and praised Parker in a different way:

"Toney, believe in yourself, we need you to play on the offensive end, run off the ball, block and cover, cut and score, and keep up the rhythm of the attack."

"As long as we win this game, we will win the battle of Tianwang Mountain! We have to play for each other, trust our teammates, protect the rebound, and don't give each other a chance to switch easily! ”

Tony Parker enjoyed the treatment, in the last game, Popovich let go of the shackles and made him the team's number one offensive option, and once again hearing the old man's praise, Parker was even more motivated, it's time to become the team's star star!

The G4 game was very important, Popovich head coach trusted the veteran even more, Ginobili returned to the starting lineup, replacing Danny Green, who had been underperforming before, and the Spurs directly took the GDP combination.

At the end of the half, the Spurs fans were cheering loudly in the AT Center Arena, 63:54, with a crazy offense, the Spurs took a nine-point lead at halftime.

"Tony Parker was so good, scoring 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting in the half, and Stephen Jackson coming off the bench for 4-of-4 from the field and scoring 12 points, and the Spurs blossomed more."

Steve Kerr was in a good mood when he saw the Spurs leading, and at halftime, he immediately sent a word of praise.

"There was a bit of a problem with the Thunder's defense, but the difference of 9 points was not big, Kayce was 5 of 10 in the half, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 16 points, and Durant also scored 14 points, and the offensive state of the core players is still very good."

Reggie Miller couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw the sudden explosion of Tony Parker, many times the state of star players can determine the direction of a game, and it is clear that the Spurs seem to have found a way to win.

At halftime, in the Thunder locker room, the atmosphere was a little dull, and the offensive state in the first half was good, but Parker's outburst did pour cold water on everyone in the Thunder team, and the Spurs were not a fish belly to reach the Western Conference Finals.

"Russell, I'm going to defend Parker in the second half, keep the offense in good shape, I'll lock up the opponent!"

As soon as the turtle turtle heard Li Ze's words, he wanted to hold on, but as soon as he thought that if he lost this game, the team would have to fight the battle of Tianwang Mountain, so he no longer competed with himself, and immediately nodded in agreement:

"No problem, I'm in good hands tonight and we'll turn the game around."

Durant was relieved to see Li Ze propose to change the defense, he can still use his strength on the offensive end, let him defend the small guard with fast speed, and the effect is basically not much different from the turtle

Coach Brooks saw Li Ze stand up and take on the defensive task, and his heart was a lot more steady, and then immediately sent chicken soup for the soul:

"Very good, only 9 points, we still have two quarters of game time, tonight's game the opponent's offense is fast-paced, and in the second half, we have to be faster than the opponent, switch, block and dismantle, have opportunities, complete the offense quickly, and then fight for the frontcourt rebound!"

“.”

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, and in the AT Center Arena, Spurs fans wearing white cheering T-shirts immediately began to shout for the home team's defense:

“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”

After the turtle passed the half, he immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, still the usual pistol tactic, and immediately after handing the ball, he went over to feign handing over, and at the same time, Perkins on the inside raised the cover.

Ginobili was not disturbed by the turtle's cover, and was still firmly staring at Li Ze's movements.

Seeing Li Ze break through with the ball in his left hand, Perkins' cover hung up for a moment, and then immediately went down and took Duncan's defense.

Worried about Li Ze's pass, Duncan echoed Ginobili while strictly guarding against Perkins's down, Li Ze's breakthrough speed was not fast, Ginobili was always pressing on his side, and when he traveled to the free throw line, Li Ze's left hand suddenly pulled back under his crotch.

Ginobili's defense was slightly stunned, and he did not lose his position, but the next second his chest was stuffy, and he saw Li Ze change to his right hand to hold the ball, play with his back, and quickly adjust the center of gravity of the defense.

Double-banged, Ginobili had no choice, he was slammed into the paint area, and saw Li Ze's right hand pulling the ball back, and at the same time his shoulder shook confusingly, and he couldn't predict the direction of turning for a while, and finally he could only watch Li Ze turn around and jump back!

“Kayce Fade away! That's good! ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan spoke briskly, and the Spurs fans immediately erupted in huge boos.

Popovich on the sidelines was very calm, after all, there was still a 7-point lead, when he saw Li Ze leading Parker from halftime, he immediately frowned, and then thought of Parker's speed, and was relieved.

Tony Parker didn't expect to be opposite him in the second half with Li Ze, and he led the defense in the half, which is rare, but he soon felt the defensive pressure.

Of course, Li Ze will not easily pick up the ball, the opponent is a small point guard, and there is nothing to say about flexibility, but the bonus brought by the golden [ankle pad] + [marking master] can make him not easily lose his position when defending against the small man.

The Spurs' offense is still a high-level blocking, Parker was entangled by Li Ze through the half, and just wanted to use Duncan's cover to get rid of the defense, but found that Li Ze was agile and squeezed through.

Half a body ahead, Parker suddenly crossed the dribble and pulled back, but Li Ze seemed to be prepared and did not lose his position at all, but physically pressed him again.

In desperation, he could only hand over the ball, then cut in without the ball, looked for opportunities, and got rid of them several times, but failed, and Parker found that Li Ze was like a kraft candy, sticking to his side.

Duncan saw that Parker was having trouble receiving the ball, and finally signaled Ginobili to complete the offense, and Ginobili got rid of the tortoise entanglement and hit the iron with a two-point pull-up jumper

The long rebound ball was accepted by Durant, and the Thunder immediately launched a conversion offense, the Spurs retreated quickly, Durant got on the ball as soon as possible, and Parker saw Li Ze receiving the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, and wanted to immediately step forward for a tactical foul.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball with his right hand and easily dodged the opponent's defense, and then adjusted his pace, one step away from the three-point line, and in the exclamation of the Spurs fans, he converted three points and quickly jumped out!

“BANG! BANG! ”

“Kayce From downtown!”

The exaggerated conversion of three-pointers made the commentator Kevin Harlan shout excitedly, and the difference instantly became 4 points, and Coach Popovich on the sidelines was a little anxious, and hurriedly reminded the players to pay attention to retreat.

After scoring the goal, Li Ze high-fived his teammates and loudly reminded his teammates to continue to defend, and then immediately led the defense of Tony Parker, and everyone on the Thunder team was also energetic at this time, with a difference of 4 points, two rounds, and it was over!

Tony Parker was upset by Li Ze's defensive entanglement, Li Ze didn't cut the ball easily, but stuck firmly to him, the defensive agility of the two-meter player was so good, Parker was numb

Ginobili hit the iron in the last round, and this time the offense was only on the outside transition, and the outside of the three-point line handed over to Li Ze, and then Duncan again mentioned the line for cover.

Li Ze did not chase after him at this time, but used Duncan's body to turn around quickly and walk off the line to block the opponent.

Parker, who was holding the ball in his left hand, thought he had gotten rid of Li Ze, and as soon as he shot a two-point pull-up jump shot at the top of the arc, he heard the exclamations of Spurs fans in his ears.

"Smack!"

Li Ze faced the big hat, slapped the ball directly to the front court, and then without waiting for the opponent to react, he immediately rushed across the halfcourt, caught up with the ball, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and immediately slowed down.

Ginobili, who was going all out to defend himself, had no choice but to chase the tail, and the moment the two sides made physical contact, Li Ze leaned forward outside the three-point line and made a quick stop jump shot!

"Squeak!"

At the same time as the referee's whistle blows, the ball draws a beautiful trajectory in the air and then falls straight into the net!

“OH! OH! Unbelievable! My god! ”

“Kayce Chance for four point play!”

Commentator Kevin Harlan immediately screamed wildly, constantly chanting God, Ginobili was already stupid, and the turtle immediately followed to celebrate.

"It's crazy! Bro! ”

Everyone on the Thunder team high-fived Li Ze and shouted at the same time.

When Li Ze stood on the free throw line, the Spurs fans on the scene immediately erupted into huge boos, and Popovich on the sidelines saw Li Ze's free throw hit steadily, and suddenly broke the defense, two minutes, the two sides were tied, and the difference was 9 points!

Coach Popovich immediately called a timeout, and the old man couldn't accept such a scene.

Li Ze scored 9 points in a row, successfully helping the Thunder team survive the most difficult period, after the pause came back, the tailwind war gods finally went online, and in the next minute, Li Ze turned on the [Enter the Rhythm] Buff and completely focused on defense.

In the Spurs' offensive round, Tony Parker hit the iron again, the rebound was protected by Ibaka, the turtle received the ball, and the Thunder launched a transition offense.

"Defend! Don't convert, foul! Foul now! ”

The old man was so excited that he almost rushed into the field to commit a foul himself, and kept roaring loudly, and the linesman hurriedly signaled Popovich to pay attention to the sideline, and he was about to violate the rules if he went any further

Leonard used a tactical foul for the first time, and then the Spurs hurriedly retreated, and after Durant and Turtle attacked for several rounds in a row, Li Ze successfully breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled this round to play a low-post tactic after halftime.

Ginobili saw Li Ze's back to the ball in the left blocking area, and immediately his scalp was numb, and he tried his best to half-circle the front defense, but it didn't work at all, seeing Li Ze receiving the ball and shaking by hitting his shoulder, Ginobili directly chose to foul.

The Spurs were numb, and in the second half of the third quarter, they could only rely on fouls to stop the Thunder's offense, and Tony Parker's offense was dumb, and Li Ze defended 1 of 7 in a single quarter, and the offense was completely powered off.

When the third quarter of the game ended, the Spurs fans in the AT Center Arena collectively broke the defense, and at 18:38 in the single quarter, under the leadership of Li Ze, the Thunder team successfully reversed the game and took an 11-point lead.

Li Ze played the third quarter, and when he returned to the bench, the atmosphere team immediately handed over the kettle, and the big guy drank water, Li Ze sat in his seat, smiled at his teammates easily, felt the oppressive atmosphere in the stadium, and thought happily in his heart:

"What is a superstar who integrates offense and defense! (Tactical Fallback)"
