Chapter 276: Lemon Essence and the Bearer (9100 Words Chapter)
After the start of the 2012~2013 season, most Amerika commentators were concerned about the state of the defending champion Thunder.
This season, the Thunder have a chance to achieve three consecutive championships and start a new dynasty, although the offseason sent Li Ze away, the Thunder have been richly rewarded, and many commentators also predict that Durant will usher in an explosion.
After all, it's too much luxury for a team to have two scoring titles.
As a result, the Thunder lost two games in a row after the start of the game, and in the No. 2 game, the Thunder team playing at home lost to the Hawks again, 104:95, and the Thunder team, who sent 20 turnovers, directly looked at the fans of the Russian City.
Durant was 7-of-17 from the field with 22 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 6 turnovers, while Turtle was 5-of-18 from the field with 14 points and 5 rebounds without assists and compared to last season's 87 shots per game, the Thunder had only 71 rounds in this game.
Three consecutive defeats in the new season, ball critics were crazy in the face, Durant not only did not break out, but was a little sluggish, and the teams seemed to have mastered the winning code, just wrap it!
Seeing that the selection of the best of the week in the first week was about to begin, Durant, who had lost three games in a row, went home and went straight to numbness, and in the offseason, he was still fantasizing about getting various honors in the new season, but the ruthless reality slapped his face.
Durant, who was scrolling Twitter, saw the Clippers beat the Trail Blazers again, and his mood was even more unbeautiful, especially after seeing many Russian City fans running to the message under the Clippers' official Twitter, Durant almost broke the defense directly:
"Back to the city, Kayce!"
"KD needs you, it's unbelievable that we lost to the Eagles."
"Falk squid! Damn Los Angeles, you guys stole our MVP! ”
The more he looked at the comments, the darker his face became, Durant was angry and quickly switched to the trumpet, typing fast on his mobile phone, and sprayed all the fans who hacked him, thinking that this week's best of the week must be out of play, and the motivation to spray people suddenly disappeared:
"Why is this happening, obviously I have worked hard to lead my teammates"
On November 3, the Clippers played their first back-to-back game of the season when they host the Cavaliers.
Although the Cavaliers selected the lifelong strong Dion Vitesse with the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, and the uniform team wanted him to form a backcourt duo with Kyrie Irving, the evening game was a nightmare for the 1.93m Vitesse.
On both offensive and defensive ends, he was comprehensively suppressed by Li Ze, making 4 of 17 from the field, including 2 of 11 from 3-point range, and Vitesse almost smashed the basket at Staples Arena.
In the case of the team's scoring difficulties, Kyrie Irving made crazy shots, 8 of 23, with 24 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 turnovers, as for another budding Tristan Thompson, he only got 1 point and 8 rebounds in the game.
At 96:112, the Clippers who returned to their home court easily defeated the Cavaliers and won three consecutive wins in the new season.
In the end, Vitesse, who doubted his life, was still in a state of confusion when the two sides shook hands, but the new Kyrie Irving still smiled when he lost, and pulled Li Ze to greet him for a long time.
"Played 36 minutes, 12-of-21, including 3-of-7 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, 31 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover, Kayce performed perfectly!"
"But the Clippers had 17 turnovers in this game, and Coach De Nagro should probably make changes to the bench, and Jamal Crawford played too casually tonight, with five individual turnovers."
On the commentary bench of ESPN after the game, Jeff Van Gundy began to comment on the performance of the Clippers, and Mike Brin on the side said with emotion:
"Despite five turnovers, the former best sixth man scored 19 points, and that scoring ability may be the reason why Coach De Nagro is so tolerant of him."
“.”
After the win, Chris Paul was still a little dissatisfied with the team's performance, he was 6 of 10 in this game, and efficiently cut 17 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, and the team had 17 turnovers, which made him a little unacceptable.
"There were a lot of rounds where we didn't have to risk passing, we didn't have good chances, we could reorganize, we didn't have to go too far with conversions, but luckily the Cavaliers don't have a lot of experience, otherwise we wouldn't have won so easily."
In the locker room, Paul looked at the technical statistics and simply chattered, Jamal Crawford said that it was his problem, but Griffin and Jordan Jr. on the side didn't care much about Paul's remarks, and changed the topic as soon as they spoke:
"Two home and one away, well, three home games, we can stay in Los Angeles for next week, I love the schedule!"
Griffin doesn't really like Paul's attitude, work is work, and he doesn't want to make a face after three consecutive wins.
"We're all adapting to the team, everybody's going to get better and better, Chris, it's good to win, there's no need to be too strict, but I still hope you can have time to practice your three-point shooting, and it's not consistent on the outside at the moment."
Ray Allen patted his chest when he heard Li Ze's words, signaling that he would adjust his form, the veteran may have had a big break in the offseason, and his condition after the start of the new season is average.
Eric Bledsoe frowned, his three-point shooting was terrible, and PJ Tucker nodded along with him, unlike the others, this man who has been wandering in Europe for many years will try to do whatever he asks.
Billups and Grant Hill basically became the leaders of the atmosphere group, and finally led everyone to shout the slogan:
"Million, spit, crush, tired of logging!"
On November 4, the NBA announced its first Player of the Week of the new season.
In the Eastern Conference, Brandon Jennings of the Bucks played a 2-0 record, averaging 17.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 13.0 assists, 4.0 steals and 3.0 turnovers per game, shooting 46.7% from the field and 25% from three-point range.
In the Western Conference, Li Ze led the Clippers to 3-0, averaging 35.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.7 turnovers per game, shooting 59.0% from the field and 48.2% from three-point range, and was successfully elected Player of the Week.
Durant, who was at home in the city, saw such a selection result early in the morning, and instantly possessed the lemon essence, and said that the best of the week was soft
The Clippers did not play that day, and Li Ze also received his new toy, McLaren MP4-12C, for this F1 on the road, Li Ze felt that it was a bit wasteful, after all, he didn't have a chance to drive fast in Los Angeles.
"It's a beautiful car, lend it to me for a few days!"
Lily Collins circled around the supercar in her pajamas, and immediately said to Li Ze with bright eyes. casually threw the key to the A celebrity, and Li Ze responded casually:
"Advertising cars, if you like it, you can use it for fun, of course, when I play away, the other party definitely doesn't care about a Hollywood actress driving this sports car."
"Be careful! It's a new car, get in the car, I'll take you for a ride! ”
A lady hurriedly took the key, and then smiled and let Li Ze get into the car, Li Ze couldn't believe the driving level of the female driver, but when he thought of going for a ride in the metropolitan area, he didn't have a chance to drive too fast, so he immediately sat in the co-pilot seat:
"Watch your speed, Shet! Slow down, slow down! ”
"Haha, I love that kind of motivation!"
That night, the gossip news in Los Angeles appeared that Li Ze and Lily Collins were speeding at the top of their game.
For Li Ze, the advantage of returning to Los Angeles is that he can rub houses around, and although there are two houses waiting for him to live in Beverly Hills, empty houses are not as interesting as soft girls.
As for what kind of love life, asking is a good friend, out of responsibility for advertising, Li Ze showed the car on social media that can post pictures, and then Dwyane Wade directly ordered one.
I have to say that the NBA circle is indeed very small, and it is also a habit for everyone to follow the trend and buy cars.
On Nov. 5, the Clippers will take on the Warriors tonight.
In this year's draft, the Warriors selected North Carolina Black Hawks Harrison Barnes with the 7th pick in the first round, Festus Azeri at the end of the first round, and Draymond Green with the 5th pick in the second round.
After sending away Monta Ellis last season, the Warriors are now completely rebuilding.
The Warriors also traded Jarrett Jack, the "starting point killer", added Carl Landry on the inside, and signed Richard Jefferson on the front.
When the two teams were in the final warm-up, Li Ze saw the lineup that the Warriors were most familiar with, and he felt a little emotional, and the five deaths were about to be completed.
Noticing that Klay Thompson in front of him still had two dark circles under his eyes, Li Ze almost laughed out loud, the two of them were high until the second half of the night last night, Los Angeles is the most familiar place for the two, and after fierce ball control, Clay was obviously sluggish.
"Shet! What kind of constitution is this? Didn't you feel any more affected by this? I almost slept all morning before I recovered. ”
Klay Thompson's eyes almost popped out when he saw the energetic Li Ze, he clearly remembered that the two didn't end until 3 o'clock, did he remember it wrong?
"If you have the opportunity to take a look at Chinese medicine, maybe you are "kidney deficiency"! ”
Hearing Li Ze speak Chinese seriously, Klay Thompson scratched his head in disbelief, the two were on one side, and Stephen Curry on the other side was carefully warming up.
Fresh from the last back-to-back game against the Grizzlies, Curry was in good shape, scoring 26 points on 10-of-20 shooting, and he was still adjusting to his ankle and being extra sensitive to injuries after surgery.
The game is about to start, the players on both sides are standing in the center circle again, the surface brother Griffin is finally released tonight, the team doctor allows him to play for more than 30 minutes, Chris Paul still looks serious, both sides simply salute, the referee quickly throws the ball!
Amid the cheers of the crowd at Staples Arena, Jordan Jr. managed to jump to possession, Chris Paul quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and unlike the previous three games, the Clippers also switched to a starting tactic tonight.
Matt Barnes hit the starting No. 3 again, quickly standing in the left corner to open up space in the first round, Griffin also stood near the baseline on the left side, and when Chris Paul came to the top of the arc near the three-point line, Jordan Jr. immediately blocked and covered.
At the same time, Li Ze on the free throw line also followed up to cover, delaying the Warriors' No. 5 position Aizeli, and when Chris Paul quickly changed direction in front of his left hand and held the ball with Jordan Jr. to complete the breakthrough, Li Ze, who finished covering, quickly bounced out of the arc.
And Jordan Jr. covered down and directly took away Azeli's defense, and at the same time, at the moment when Li Ze was outplayed, the two almost did a cross cover, and by the way, they also delayed Klay Thompson.
Breaking through the cover and bombing at the same time, seeing Li Ze's opportunity, Paul, who had just dribbled past the three-point line, immediately threw the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc, received the pass, did not make any adjustments, and quickly jumped at the top of the arc!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
"Oh! Wonderful three-point shooting tactics, it seems that the Clippers want to speed up the pace in this game, maybe Mike Brown can consider the assistant coaching job of the Clippers, he is really not suitable to coach the current Lakers. ”
There was no national live broadcast of this game, after all, the Warriors were just a fish belly last season, and the commentator in Los Angeles came up and complained about the Lakers' recent performance, which is a big hot spot in Los Angeles.
After the goal, Li Ze raised his eyebrows at Klay Thompson, which immediately made the opponent depressed, and last night's fierce confrontation made Klay's legs weak, and the chase defense was obviously half a beat slower.
When Li Ze plays the No. 2 position, Chris Paul will lead the defense, and the two usually use defense to force the opposing guard to play the ball quickly, Curry sees David Lee asking for the ball in the low post on the left side, dribbling to the left wing and immediately sending a high toss pass.
Griffin has been holding back for several games, and when David Lee asked for the ball, he was dead on the other side, and just turned around after receiving the pass, David Lee didn't have time to release the ball, and was directly snatched away by Griffin from his arms.
After completing the steal, Griffin gave the ball to Paul as soon as possible, and the Clippers immediately switched from defense to offense, and Klay Thompson was slightly distracted, and found that Li Ze had rushed past half court.
Observing Li Ze's position, just dribbling past the halfway line, Paul sent a long-distance high toss pass.
Li Ze, who was at the bottom left of the basket, jumped up with both feet, grabbed the ball with both hands, quickly rounded the ball, and after a short period of time in the air, he grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!
The Staples Arena burst into huge cheers and wonderful dunks, which always ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Coach Mark Jackson on the sidelines immediately glared at Klay Thompson, and then motioned for Curry to slow down the pace and stabilize the situation.
The fast break is not active, there is a problem with the brain, and the conversion of the fast break has always been an opportunity to score points easily, Li Ze and Paul, who quickly returned to the defense, high-fived and celebrated, and when they looked back and saw Klay Thompson being output by Mark Jackson, they couldn't help but laugh gloatingly.
"What if I lose your starting spot?"
Taking advantage of the Warriors' sideline ball, Li Ze teased his good brother again, and when he heard such a question, Klay Thompson, who had two black circles under his eyes, said seriously:
"No way, they paid me to sign me, they just let me shoot, defense is just collateral value, no one in the Warriors has a better shot than me!"
After saying this, Klay Thompson suddenly activated, quickly slid from left to right on the baseline, and quickly popped off the right wing with the help of Ezeli's cover on the right near baseline position.
received Curry's pass, just wanted to get the ball and threw it, but Li Ze's defense was directly pasted, and it seemed to feel very close, and after the duffle, Thompson broke through with the ball in his right hand.
Li Ze successfully predicted the opponent's breakthrough route, the two made physical contact, Klay Thompson wanted to protect the ball, but the ball smashed directly into the surface of his foot and popped off the bottom line.
Klay Thompson's face darkened, and he was embarrassed.
"Oh!"
Handsome for only three seconds, this scene immediately amused the audience, and Coach Mark Jackson slapped his head, a little unbelievable, this can also be a mistake?
In the first quarter, the game was fast-paced, and the Clippers' offense, except for Li Ze covering and receiving the ball and holding the ball alone, most rounds were usually carried out by Paul to block and complete the middle distance.
The new Azeri was a little numb in the first half of the game, he didn't know how to defend and protect the basket, Paul would shoot from the middle range, chase the defense, and Andrew Jordan, who was opposite him, would have a chance to eat cake.
David Lee scored two points under the basket, the Clippers quickly drove the baseline ball, Paul just dribbled past half court and quickly made an offensive gesture, with Li Ze standing in the left bottom corner and Matt Barnes standing in the right bottom corner.
Unlike the Thunder, who like to play a "V" attack, Paul prefers to pass some safety to avoid too many turnovers due to height limitations.
Li Ze in the bottom corner of the left slowly moved to the line, suddenly cut into the bottom line, and then with the help of Griffin's cover, he easily got rid of Klay Thompson's pursuit, received the ball in the left main area, and then broke through with the ball in his right hand.
David Lee is very aware of Li Ze's strength, seeing that his teammates failed to chase the defense at the first time, he just wanted to step forward to help the defense, but Li Ze took a big step forward and shot a mid-range emergency stop jump shot!
"Huh!" The two-pointer was easily scored.
"I love Kayce, his presence makes it very easy for the Clippers to attack, and trust me, if the Warriors choose to delay the pack, Griffin on the other side can dunk easily, the athleticism of the White Monsters is fantastic!"
The local commentator in Los Angeles finally stopped discussing the question of who should coach the Lakers, and Li Ze scored a goal and immediately praised it!
Halfway through the first quarter, Chris Paul had three assists on Lee.
The Warriors attacked, and when Klay Thompson's offense hit the iron again, head coach Mark Jackson almost directly asked for a timeout, but fortunately, the assistant coach prompted that it was the official timeout soon, so he held his emotions and sat back on the bench.
This time, Li Ze received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and Klay Thompson quickly glanced behind him, and found that the two big men of the Clippers had no intention of blocking and dismantling, and he was secretly relieved.
When Li Ze was a simple three-threat, his left foot quickly tried to step to the left front, Klay Thompson's defensive center of gravity subconsciously shifted to the right, seizing this fleeting opportunity, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand and broke through with a cross-step dribble.
Azeli noticed that Klay Thompson was being squeezed straight across the right flank, and he immediately went numb.
Li Ze dribbled vigorously three times, approached the paint area and took off directly, Ai Zeli subconsciously jumped up and blocked, fought in the air, lost his body's center of gravity after the collision, and watched Li Ze put the ball into the basket with his right hand!
"Boom!" Break through the storm dunk and succeed!
After landing on the ground, Ezeli stumbled and held on to the basketball hoop to avoid hitting the street directly, and there was a huge cheer in his ears, Azeli was so angry that he immediately glared at Klay Thompson, who raised his hand.
"Nicely buttoned! Kayce! ”
Taking advantage of the pause, the excited Griffin immediately bumped his chest with Li Ze to celebrate, and the commentator at the scene felt the warm atmosphere in the stadium and said with emotion:
"Maybe fans in Los Angeles can buy some season tickets for the Clippers, and if they continue to play like this, the ticket price will go up!"
After returning from the timeout, Li Ze played more than two minutes before being replaced by Ray Allen, and in the case of not much pressure in the game, Coach De Nagro wanted to examine the lineup matching, and the Clippers' No. 3 position is still a problem.
On the bench, Grant Hill handed the kettle to Li Ze, and saw the technical statistics of 5 of 7 in a single quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist
At the end of the first quarter, at 24:33, the Clippers led by nine points.
In the second quarter, the rotation lineup came on, and Jamal Crawford played 6 minutes and 46 seconds in the second quarter with the bench, and the super sixth man scored 15 points on consecutive free throws on 4-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, once again showing his scoring ability.
And as the Clippers' main lineup gradually returned, the point difference gradually widened to double digits, Li Ze did not shoot too many in the last few minutes, and the Warriors have begun to help defend.
is also on the cover to receive the ball, Paul sent a horizontal pass, received the ball in the left elbow area and put the ball with his right hand, and broke through in a step, David Lee under the basket drove to Li Ze suddenly slowed down, and subconsciously moved forward to help defend.
Li Ze flicked his wrist and made a very penetrating ground pass, successfully breaking through David Lee's defense, and Griffin, who was down, received the pass, took off directly, and smashed the buckle with one arm with his right hand!
"Boom!" Smooth down the violent deduction to get it!
Griffin, who ate two cakes in a row, was in a good mood, completed the dunk, and immediately high-fived Li Ze to celebrate, Stephen Curry on the side showed envious eyes, Griffin's dunk was very ornamental.
Coach Mark Jackson on the sidelines was not very satisfied with Curry's performance, although it was back-to-back games, when chasing points, he only scored 4 points on 2-of-6 in a single quarter, and such a performance could not lead the team to win.
At halftime, the Staples Arena was jubilant, and at 48:62, the Clippers led by 14 points.
The double-digit difference made the second half of the game boring, Chris Paul played the tactics step by step, the Clippers have been scoring steadily, and the Warriors' Curry and Klay have stretched their hands, making the difference more than 10 points.
Less than halfway through the fourth quarter, head coach Mark Jackson took the lead in replacing Curry, who still needs to focus on protection and shouldn't play too much time in back-to-back games.
After the official timeout returned, the atmosphere group went straight to the court, the Warriors announced that they conceded defeat, and Mark Jackson was in a bad mood, and if he couldn't produce results this season, maybe he would have to return to the commentary world.
In the end, 104-115, the Clippers easily defeated their opponents and won four consecutive victories.
After the game, Curry, who lost the game, was in a good mood, and they were finally going back to their home court in the next game.
"Congratulations, Kayce! Winning the Weekly Championship again, I dare to guarantee the ticket, you have too many trophies to put down! ”
"Maybe I should suggest to the league to change the format of the trophy of the week, come on, Bro, I hope to see you in the playoffs!"
The two exchanged friendly business, and Klay Thompson on the side looked at Li Ze with a look of resentment, he was sprayed by the head coach in this game, and it was obviously a wrong choice to accept the invitation last night
There is no national live broadcast, and naturally no one pays attention to the Warriors, as for the Clippers to win, it is a matter of course, compared to Amika, the fans of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean are very happy:
"11 of 20, 3 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 29 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover, Li Ze's score finally fell below 30 points, and the Warriors won!"
"The first three games are too fierce, and it seems that the only thing that can stop Li Ze from scoring is garbage time."
"The Clippers play some weak teams, which is really good-looking, but I always feel that the No. 3 position is a bit stretched, maybe I am used to the illusion of Durant."
"Matt Barnes is almost funny, I think Chris Paul can recruit LeBron James, it's all brother basketball anyway, it's the same wherever you play!"
"I'm laughing to death, but the Heat are really strong this season."
"This season, I Zhan is invincible, and the Heat dynasty is on!"
“.”
Compared with the two teams in Los Angeles, the Heat started a wave of winning streaks after losing to the Knicks, with scores of more than 120 points in both games. ”
On November 7, the Clippers at home welcomed the Spurs, who were also 4-0.
The Spurs roster hasn't changed much this season compared to other teams, and Popovich seems happy with the current roster set-up, with the Spurs just changing the atmosphere team in the summer free agency.
In the game that night, the Clippers ushered in their first loss of the season, perhaps because of the loss to Li Ze for several consecutive years, the GDP trio worked hard, and the three-point shots of Danny Green and Gary Neal also suddenly exploded.
Jordan Jr. was beaten to 6 fouls and left the game, 109:99, struggling for the whole game, and finally lost to the Spurs by 10 points.
Li Ze's expression was calm, compared to the Spurs, the current Clippers are still in the stage of talent basketball, and when they fall into a scoring drought, they can only rely on him to complete the offense.
13 of 24, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, 37 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.
Back in the locker room, Li Ze noticed that the surface brother Griffin was not in a high mood, and couldn't help but comfort him:
"There is no way out of only playing under the basket, when you meet an old guy like Duncan, the other party is waiting for you under the basket, compared to defensive experience, there are few big men in the league who can catch up with him, practice more mid-range, and the shooting rate in the early 30s is too low!"
Hearing Li Ze's words, Griffin nodded silently, he found his technical shortcomings last season, but the shooting thing is not something that suddenly becomes accurate after two months of practice.
Just like Jordan Jr.'s free throws, Popovich in the final stage in order to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Clippers, directly let Matt Bonner carry two fouls and let Jordan Jr. make free throws, and the result was 1 of 4, and the bad old man almost laughed.
For the shortcomings of these two cake eaters, Chris Paul reminded early on that Coach De Nagro saw that Paul was in a bad mood, and in order to avoid conflicts, he immediately said:
"It's okay, it's a long regular season, there's always a win and a loss, our goal is to make the playoffs, all we need to do is win the game, rest well, and tomorrow we have back-to-back games away!"
"Oh! I love playing away games against the Lakers so we don't have to catch a flight! ”
“.”
When the Clippers lost, Lemon Essence Durant was a little happy, and the Thunder started their journey of abusing vegetables, winning two games in a row recently, although there are still fans complaining that the team's offense has become ugly, but Durant doesn't care, just win!
And head coach Mike Brown can't care about studying the opponent at this time, he is about to become a backstabber, and the Lakers' management seems to have had enough of the team's hip-pulling record and is ready to make a direct substitution.
On the night of the 8th, the city derby in Los Angeles was still Staples Arena, but the floor was replaced by the Lakers, and 16 championship flags fluttered above the stadium, which seemed to show its status as the boss.
From the cheers from the audience, it seemed difficult to tell which team the fans were cheering on, and as the highlight of the week, this game was of course broadcast live across the United States.
At this time, the game has been played for 7 minutes and 12 seconds, and everyone on the Lakers on the court is a little helpless, without him, Kobe Bryant has entered the Mamba mode again, and there is no need for Li Ze to provoke, the first two consecutive losses, the black mamba has long wanted to bite Li Ze to death.
Although Howard didn't want to play a high-post block, he saw Kobe Bryant's eyes that he was going to eat people, so he had to obediently come to the three-point line, but the blocking and dismantling were a little perfunctory, and he hung up and went straight down.
This made Li Ze not need to squeeze desperately, easily blocked Kobe's breakthrough route, Kobe Bryant with the ball in his left hand was blocked by Li Ze in the left elbow area of the free throw line, feeling the defensive pressure on his side, Kobe Bryant changed direction under his hip once, changed to the ball in his right hand, and then clattered to play.
Li Ze took a step back, Kobe Bryant immediately shook his shoulders, and then turned over and threw a difficult jumper!
"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.
After the goal, Kobe Bryant swung his fist hard, showing his tough attitude, and the audience at Staples Arena also shouted excitedly, it was so exciting, this was the Kobe Bryant-style goal they were expecting.
Hearing the cheers at the scene, Li Ze was speechless for a moment, and glanced at the scoreboard, 20:13, the Clippers led by 7 points, what is there to cheer about?
After losing a game, Chris Paul, who was wearing the away red jersey, entered the losing MMP state, and just after dribbling to halftime, he immediately reminded Jordan Jr. to pay attention to cover.
In this game, Li Ze is still in the No. 2 position, PJ-Tucker got the opportunity to start in the No. 3 position, seeing that Jordan Jr. has been standing near the baseline on the left side, Mr. Li Ze in the right blocking area pretended to move to the line, and then suddenly ran back, from right to left, quickly sliding to the bottom line.
Kobe Bryant chased after him, but he was covered by Jordan Jr. on the way, and finally slowed down, seeing Li Ze receiving the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line, and quickly adjusted the defensive focus.
Li Ze received Paul's pass, took advantage of the situation, and saw Kobe's defense subconsciously take a step forward, quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and crossed the dribble to break through.
Noticing that Howard always stayed under the basket, Li Ze broke through to the blocking position and suddenly dribbled the ball under the crotch with his right hand, and when the ball was changed to his left hand, he directly closed the ball, and then exerted force with his feet, and shot a mid-range emergency stop jump shot.
"Huh!" The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.
The sudden emergency stop directly shook Kobe Bryant in place, and cheers and boos rang out at the same time in the Staples Arena.
Compared with previous seasons, Li Ze, who has better core strength, does not need to deliberately use the step-back step at all, and the simple emergency stop is enough to deal with Kobe Bryant, who is in declining physical condition.
"Pass the ball more and your teammates seem to be running back and forth with you."
“Shut up! I don't need a rookie to teach me how to play! ”
Kobe, who has been in Mamba mode since the beginning of the game, was angered again when he heard Li Ze's words, Howard ran for half a quarter and only got two shots, but when he saw Kobe's appearance, he dared not speak out in his heart.
As for Steve Nash, he has become a tool man for the past half, singles, all singles!
The Lakers' offensive rhythm is getting slower and slower, and every round, Kobe Bryant will ask for the ball directly, and then either Gasol blocks or Howard blocks and dismantles, and then faces Li Ze's defense and begins to play stubbornly.
Artest was already confused, from the beginning of the game, he was outside the three-point line left and right two wings back and forth, Tucker didn't look at him, always staring in the direction of Kobe.
As a result, so far in the game, he has not received a pass, and this ugly scene has made some Lakers fans start scolding Mike Brown again, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.
This time, Howard finally took the pot under the basket and scored two points, and before the Lakers had time to rejoice, after opening the baseline ball, Chris Paul accelerated all the way and easily rushed through the half.
Facing Steve Nash, who retreated, Chris Paul dribbled the ball under the crotch with his right hand in the middle of the march, then quickly turned around and directly closed the ball, and the basket was thrown at the bottom right of the basket!
This scene is really embarrassing, the Lakers' retreat defense is useless, Mike Brown is just yelling on the sidelines, but it has no effect, and several people on the Lakers seem to be detached.
Chris Paul, who scored a dragon, looked relaxed, and he was very good at mining opportunities like this, and the Lakers seemed to completely collapse on both ends of the floor.
Li Ze hasn't watched the news in the past few days, and he doesn't know what happened to the Lakers, but when he saw Kobe Bryant start to ask for singles again, he was very helpless and accompanied the prince to study?
Some Lakers fans who like to watch the excitement don't care about the outcome of the game at all, whether Kobe Bryant hits the iron or scores, it is just a scream, and then take the opportunity to shout at Mike Brown twice to get out of class
On TNT's commentary seat, Steve Kerr was also dumbfounded, there was such a situation in the national live broadcast, he really had never seen this scene:
"Well, maybe head coach Mike Brown should call a timeout!"
“.”
Reggie Miller glanced at his partner and didn't pick up the conversation, the game played like this, and it didn't help to take a timeout.
When there were 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Li Ze walked back to the bench with a confused face.
Returning to the bench, the kettle handed by the atmosphere group replenished the water, Li Ze felt a little helpless, originally he also wanted to experience the effect of the badge that had just been upgraded to silver.
Achievement Badge [Green Machine]: 2/500
