Chapter 278: Who Is the True Core? (9000 word chapters)
No one can resist the invasion of time, and for NBA veterans, time is their worst enemy.
Fitness has always been an important factor in the long regular season, and while the schedule is not tight this season, it is not an easy task for some veterans to keep themselves in top shape at all times.
The 35-year-old Ginobili played well in the last time he played against the Clippers, but with more than half a month into the regular season, the veteran's form began to be unpredictable.
In some games, he may still be the Jordan of the 20 minutes, but in other games, Ginobili may suddenly hit the iron without warning.
The game between the Spurs and the Clippers went to the second quarter, and both sides sent a rotation lineup, but the situation on the court really stunned Li Ze, and the second quarter played 7 minutes and 42 seconds, and the Spurs only scored 4 points.
The main lineup of the Clippers was all sitting on the bench, first watching Ginobili play like crazy, and then Gary Neal also missed both shots, and Patty Mills and Burris Dior followed suit.
Even if he was replaced with the main lineup, Tony Parker did not score a point after coming on the court.
In more than 7 minutes of the game, only DeJuan Blair scored 4 points on 2-of-4 shooting, which not only stunned everyone on the Clippers, but also stunned Popovich on the sidelines.
Obviously, in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs offense went smoothly and scored 28 points, what is the situation now?
On the commentary bench of ESPN on the spot, Jeff Van Gundy didn't speak for a long time, only the commentator Mike Brin mechanically explained the situation on the court, and under the iron wave brought by Ginobili, the Spurs' offense completely collapsed.
On the Clippers' side, the first quarter of the game also scored 28 points, and after the rotation lineup came on, Bledsoe and Crawford were in average condition, but Matt Barnes performed bravely, scoring 10 points with free throws in more than 7 minutes.
Coupled with Ray Allen's 5 points, the second quarter has been played until now, and the Clippers have played a wave of 15:4, and in the last 4 minutes, Li Ze and Chris Paul are on the court again.
After re-appearing, Li Ze scored 6 points in a decent manner, and the Clippers also scored 29 points in this quarter of the game, as for the Spurs, 14 points in a single quarter, the fans at the scene were completely confused.
Of the Spurs' 10 points, 8 of them came from free throws, and Popovich was angry and directly put on the double-tower lineup of Split and Duncan, and finally let the score go double.
The half-game really made the old man angry enough, and such a game process was not expected by him at all.
"Ginobili is 35 and Tim Duncan is 36, so maybe when I get to that age, it's time to think about retiring."
Griffin scored six points on 3-of-8 shooting in the half, and couldn't help but start gloating when he saw the Spurs unlucky, but there were also many veterans of the Clippers on the team, and Grant Hill immediately took over:
"Don't underestimate the experience of the veterans, as long as they can make the playoffs, these veterans can play a huge role, of course, if you take care of your body this season, I'm quite optimistic about the Spurs."
Although Billups has now become the atmosphere group of the Clippers and is mainly responsible for handing water to Li Ze most of the time, he does not agree with Hill's opinion:
"Times are different, the Thunder have won the championship two years in a row, which shows that as long as the talent is strong enough, the so-called game experience can be ignored, and when I think of Kayce just 22 years old, I think it is also a good choice for veterans to choose to retire."
"The combination of old and new is the right choice, and this game is obviously not the real level of the Spurs."
The memory of the future tells Li Ze that the old men of the Spurs are getting better and better, and the past two years have happened to be the peak of the Spurs, Li Ze will not underestimate the GDP combination, for the Spurs, the regular season may only be used to adjust the state.
There was not much suspense in the game, and the atmosphere group began to be active, thinking that the team would go to Russia the day after tomorrow, everyone began to discuss whether the Thunder could continue to defend the title:
"The Thunder are in good shape at the moment, but Kayce's departure still has a major impact, and the offense doesn't seem to be as fluid as last season."
"It should be a matter of tempo, there were a few games where the Thunder only played more than 70 rounds, which was unthinkable in the first two years."
"Kayce, back in Los Angeles, can I touch your ring? I didn't see enough of the last party! ”
Li Ze heard the discussion of his teammates, and he also missed the time in Russia before, he didn't know if the Thunder team could defend the title this season, after all, it is definitely not a simple matter to break out of the West:
"The last change of the old and the new, after which we will enter another era"
Unlike other teams that don't easily change the main lineup when they fall behind, Popovich noticed that the players were not in good shape, and immediately began to rotate a large area, and at the same time, removed the main lineup very early.
In this case, Li Ze's playing time came to a season-low 28 minutes, and he clocked in directly in less than three quarters.
In the end, the high-profile pre-game battle for the top spot in the West ended with a full quarter of garbage time.
At 102:87, the Clippers comfortably beat the Spurs to get off to a flying start in four road games this week.
In his limited playing time, Li Ze made 9 of 17 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, setting a new season low.
On the Spurs' side, Tim Duncan also performed well, playing 31 minutes, cutting a big double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds, and once again suppressed Griffin.
Li Ze does have some regrets, but he can't do it at the moment...
After a brief day off, on the morning of the 21st, the Clippers flew straight to Russia to continue their road trip, where they will challenge the defending champion Thunder tonight.
The Thunder are currently 7-4 and have regained their record after losing streaks in the opening season through a wave of welfare fixtures.
Although the Thunder did not make too many reinforcements throughout the offseason, the Thunder were still able to guarantee the lower limit by relying on the two of Turtle and Durant.
However, Jeremy Lamb, who was traded to the team, was not happy in Ohio City, the head coach of Brooks did not like to use rookie players, and the Thunder pursued championships and did not have much time for new players to practice.
Williams, who was also traded to the team, performed very well, although he couldn't get into the starting lineup, but he threw the ball on the bench.
On the evening of the 21st, there was a temporary extra seat at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and for this game, Russian City fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.
In the home team's locker room before the game, Durant was full of energy, and it was time to prove to the fans who is the core of the real team!
"Sergi, do a good job defensively, the Clippers are not weak on the inside, and at the same time the outside has to put pressure on the opponent, Russell, we need you to cut off Chris Paul's organization."
Coach Brooks writes and draws on the tactical board, in fact, Li Ze's departure has also had a great impact on him, the team's offense suddenly stretched, and the fans certainly won't spray the strength of the superstar, so once they lose, most of them spray the head coach.
In this game, Coach Brooks also wants to prove that he didn't rely on the golden thigh to win the championship, and the Thunder have tactics!
Although at noon, the players of the two teams had a brief gathering, but as soon as the evening game began, the two sides began to respond to the ball continuously.
At 3 minutes and 12 seconds into the first quarter of the game, Li Ze received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and Soflosa, who returned to the starting lineup, stared at Li Ze's movements tightly, not daring to be careless.
Noticing that Griffin was about to go up to block and dismantle again, Soflosa chose to defend Li Ze while aiming at the opponent to prepare for the subsequent squeezing through the cover.
As a result, as soon as the defense moved, Li Ze did not wait for the cover to happen, accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand, and broke through to the direction of the bottom line.
As a result, Li Ze suddenly stopped in the right blocking area, the ball was shaking, and Soflosa's defense jumped subconsciously and completely lost his position, and finally he could only watch Li Ze play the time difference and shoot easily in the middle distance!
"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.
Seeing Li Ze score, the Russian fans at the scene did not boo, and many people were even cheering and cheering for Li Ze's goal...
And Li Ze, who completed the attack, did not celebrate, smiled at Soflosa, and then quickly retreated, the opponent's defensive moves, he really knew too well.
Durant is possessed by lemon essence again, obviously he has become the star of the team, but there are still fans who miss Li Ze, Li Ze scored, and there was no booing, such treatment made Durant's heart crazy just lemon.
When the Thunder attacked, after the turtle dribbled past half court, he immediately carried out a high block with Ibaka, briefly got rid of Paul's entanglement, noticed that Griffin had switched defenses, and immediately accelerated in a straight line.
Unable to get rid of the defense, he quickly threw the ball into the hands of Soflosa on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Li Ze's defense made a big step, and Sofrosa had a chance to catch and shoot, but his lack of confidence in the three-point shot made him start dribbling to the top of the arc, and then quickly completed a hand-to-hand pass with Durant.
Matt Barnes had a good performance in the last game against the Spurs, so he got another chance to start tonight, and he was particularly active on the defensive end, and when he saw Durant get the ball, he immediately posted it.
Durant, who held the ball in his left hand, faced such a defense, started directly outside the three-point line, and immediately accelerated to break through, and his huge stride combined with a height of nearly 2.10 meters made Durant easily break through Matt Barnes's defense.
Seeing that the opponent hit the inside, Barnes didn't care, and fouled directly behind him, sending Durant to the free throw line.
Coach Denagrolchu stood on the sidelines and applauded, for the impact of the Thunder, the Clippers are of course prepared, in order to prevent Jordan Jr. from entering the foul state too early, the outside players have to take the initiative to take the blame, and the coaching staff is very satisfied with Matt Butters' choice.
Being stalked by the opponent from the beginning, Durant was not satisfied with the team's offense, it was difficult to receive the ball, and the Clippers always had big men waiting for him under the basket:
After missing the first free throw, Durant couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but fortunately scored the second free throw steadily.
"It looks like there's something wrong with the outside offense, hasn't Coach Brooks considered a change of tactics?"
Taking advantage of Durant's free throws, Li Ze stood outside the three-point line, blocked his mouth with his hand, and chatted with the turtle.
"No, but the lack of projection ability in the No. 2 position is indeed the reason for the loss a while ago."
Seeing Durant score a free throw, Turtle also complained in a low voice about the team's situation.
Li Ze shook his head helplessly, he couldn't hold the ball, he lacked three points, and many tactics basically couldn't be played, and in the first few minutes of the game, he could clearly feel that the outside strength of the Thunder team had dropped a lot, the defensive end was fine, and the offensive end was very different from the past.
After sending the baseline ball, Paul just dribbled past half the court, and was subjected to the oppressive defense of the turtle, which is also the disadvantage of the small guard, the body is larger than him, and the speed is not lost to him.
If it was the Clippers last season, Paul might call a high post pick-and-roll to get rid of the defense, but after Li Ze came to the team, the choice was very simple.
With his back to protect the ball, seeing Li Ze in the bottom corner of the left side starting, with the help of Griffin's cover to the left wing, Paul immediately gave the ball to Li Ze, and then quickly stood outside the top of the arc, commanding the Clippers to clear one side, so that Li Ze and Griffin could play two and two locally.
first raised his eyebrows at Griffin, signaled the opponent to pay attention to the timing of the cover, noticed that Soflosa's left foot was in front, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity, and then his right hand was in and out slightly, and his body shook to the left and then suddenly accelerated to the right.
Soflosa was shaken so that he lost his defensive center of gravity, and saw Li Ze dribbling behind his back, and was about to chase after him, but he bumped into Griffin who was covering.
And Li Ze easily got rid of the defense with the help of cover, and without waiting for Ibaka to change the defense, he quickly jumped and shot on the left wing outside the three-point line!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
"Wonderful three-pointer! I don't know if the Thunder's management regrets trading Kayce now, but they could have waited another year. ”
On the TNT commentary bench, Reggie Miller teased the Thunder's management in a playful tone.
"But this deal did pay off handsomely for the Thunder, and if they continue to play for another year, their chips will be at least halved."
Steve Kerr understands the management of the Thunder, after all, he used to be the general manager of the Suns, and he also has a deep understanding of the owners who pick the door.
Just as the two were talking, the turtle passed half the court, blocked and dismantled in the high position, and hit the iron with a two-point pull-up jump shot at the top of the arc, and the rebound just popped up, and was easily accepted by Jordan Jr. under the basket.
The Clippers immediately launched a transition offense, and Chris Paul took the ball and quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, noticing that the Thunder were still retreating, and quickly distributed the ball to Li Ze on the right wing.
Soflosa didn't have time to stick to the defense, and after receiving the pass, Li Ze didn't make any adjustments, and threw the ball outside the three-point line!
“OH! Kayce Another three! ”
Commentator Kevin Harlan first exclaimed, and then he also sighed a little in his heart, in the past, this kind of three-point conversion scene, the Thunder team often appeared, but now...
As soon as Durant saw the conversion of three points, he suddenly felt a little numb, he was too familiar with this scene, but now seeing Chris Paul grinning and high-five Li Ze in celebration, he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
In the first quarter of the game, Li Ze's side completely shot, and after hitting three three-pointers in a row, the Thunder's defense began to post up, but soon Sofrosa paid two fouls.
Ibaka was also a little dazed when he saw Li Ze standing on the free throw line again, and only then did he experience the feeling of his previous opponent, and he couldn't defend it...
With two free throws and 2:21 left in the first quarter, Ray Allen replaced Li Ze, and the Clippers began to enter the rotation phase.
Coach De Nagro patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and Kim's thigh was really violent, especially after shooting a three-pointer, he was almost unstoppable.
5 of 7 in a single quarter, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 17 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Li Ze felt that he played well, and when he saw the atmosphere, he looked at him stunned, and said with some amusement:
"It's just a normal play, but there are more free throws today!"
"God, it's crazy that you almost scored the whole game in one quarter!"
Hearing Billups's words, Li Ze just smiled slightly, the pace of the league will be faster and faster in the future, and the score in a single quarter will be higher and higher, he is really a routine operation.
In the final two minutes, the Clippers slowed down, and the Thunder began to switch to a rotational lineup, and when the first quarter ended, the Clippers took a five-point lead at 33:28.
Coach Brooks was a little helpless, of course he wanted to return to his previous fast-paced offense, but neither Turtle nor Durant were good at catch-and-shoot jumpers, which made the Thunder's offense always have to dribble a few times.
Durant is trying to play the role of Li Ze, not only scoring, but also trying to create opportunities for his teammates, but at present, he has not fully adapted to such a role, the assist statistics will rise, and the number of turnovers will also increase...
At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the Russian City fans at the scene were very happy, and everyone liked to see the stars score points, but unfortunately Durant only scored 6 points in the first quarter, which made the fans not enjoyable.
In the rotation, Jamal Crawford and Eric Bledsoe held up the Clippers' scoring and entered the game with 7 minutes and 41 seconds, and the two combined for 19 points.
And the Thunder's Mo Williams was also in great form, scoring 13 points in a single quarter, and in the final minutes, the two sides regained the main lineup.
The Clippers attacked, and after Paul dribbled through the half, he first completed a high-level block with Jordan Jr. outside the three-point line, but the quality of the block and dismantling was not high this time, and he was directly squeezed by the turtle, and Jordan Jr. went down early...
Paul changed direction twice in a row, but he was guarded by the turtle, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he returned to the top of the arc and gave Li Ze a look.
Li Ze on the right wing received the signal and immediately moved to the top of the arc, Paul did not pass the ball with his regular hand, but turned sideways, and suddenly passed the ball under the crotch, giving Li Ze a advance amount.
Durant noticed that Soflosa's pursuit was half a beat slower, and immediately switched defenses with the opponent and came to Li Ze.
Seeing Durant raise his right hand, the moment he received the ball, Li Ze shook left and right, and at the moment when Durant slid to the left back, he quickly stepped down and pulled back, and then his left hand paused slightly, pretending to break through, taking advantage of Durant's adjustment of the defensive center of gravity again, and once again snapped twice extremely fast in situ crotch.
Durant's center of gravity was too high and he was shaken to dance on the spot, and this feeling of being continuously attacked and defended before supporting his feet reminded him of his former training camp.
Seeing Li Ze suddenly collect the ball, Durant jumped hard, but he did not interfere with Li Ze who retreated to the three-point line, and finally could only watch Li Ze shoot easily.
"Oh"
The Russian city fans all screamed when they saw Durant lose his body center of gravity and almost hit the street.
"It's time to change the old problem, maybe you can try to stick the defense, Kevin, it's time to update the defensive skill pack."
Li Ze didn't celebrate after the goal, just laughed and teased Durant who was almost planted on him, hearing Li Ze's words, Xiao Du's mood was not beautiful in an instant, and then thinking of Li Ze's score, he immediately responded:
"I'll catch up with you, the Clippers' front line can't contain me at all!"
The Russian fans at the scene saw that Li Ze and Durant seemed to be saying something, and immediately shouted excitedly, the victory or defeat of the game is not important, it is not a loss to have fun watching this ticket!
As if to prove himself, Durant turned on the frenzied mode and cooperated with the home whistle, which soon allowed Matt Barnes to receive his third foul, and Li Ze, who had a good hand, also began to combine sudden shots, and Sofrosa also successfully committed 3 fouls.
In the final minutes of the first half, the two once again showed terrifying scoring ability, Li Ze made 3 of 5, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 11 more points.
At this time, Durant broke the defense a little, although he scored 8 points, 6 of them were free throws, and in comparison, Li Ze's hand was so good that it exploded.
At halftime 67:57, the Clippers already had a 10-point lead.
At halftime, the big screen in the center of the Chesapeake Energy Arena began to play the wonderful footage of the first three seasons again, paying tribute to Li Ze, and the more the Russian fans watched it, the more excited they became, and many people began to scold the management for being inappropriate...
Coach Brooks has not made any adjustments, Soflosa is already the team's best defender on the perimeter, the coaching staff knows Li Ze's ability very well, and Li Ze, who is completely open from the outside, is unstoppable.
In the second half, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, and Durant, who broke the defense a little, asked for the ball directly with his back in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and after receiving the pass, he immediately broke through with the ball in his left hand, and the blocking position was close to Matt Barnes.
Holding the ball for too long, Li Ze is too familiar with Durant, and when he saw that the opponent chose to have his back, he switched defenses with Paul at the top of the arc, and at the moment when Durant was about to turn around, Li Ze suddenly started.
Durant, who shook off the defense, only felt that the ball was stable, after all, his shot was high, and Matt Barnes couldn't interfere at all.
As a result, at the moment of turning to shoot, a big hand appeared on the ball, and before Durant could react, there was a loud "pop", and the ball was slapped on the floor from top to bottom by Li Ze, who jumped high.
"Fuck your sister's basketball dream!"
The big hat that split his head and covered his face directly made Durant hit the street, and after seeing Li Ze complete the block, he immediately copied the ball and rushed through the half, Durant almost scolded his mother...
Sovlosa desperately retreated, but Li Ze dribbled too fast and had just adjusted his defensive position on the three-point line.
Noticing that Li Ze's left hand was suddenly in and out, his body shook to the left, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
Soflosa subconsciously slid to the right rear, and the next second saw Li Ze close the ball under his crotch, but he didn't have time to react at all, and finally could only watch Li Ze convert to a three-point jump shot on the left flank!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
“OH…! Oh my god! ”
Commentator Kevin Harlan shouted God, this kind of attack was crazy, and the city fans only had time to scream before they could see the ball fall into the net.
On the Clippers' bench, the atmosphere group was screaming, while the Thunder's bench was silent, and the familiar scene appeared on the opponent, which felt terrible.
This time Durant completely broke the defense, although he still had a smile on the surface, but he scolded Li Ze in his heart that he was not a person, his backward jump shot, when he was single, he was almost incomprehensible, but you actually helped defend?
And in the next few minutes, Durant almost called the police, and the Thunder's offense suddenly lost power.
First, Turtle's mid-range Bang Bang hit the iron, and then Durant's two three-pointers also knocked out of the basket, and the Clippers could score every time they attacked, and Li Zelian shot and scored steadily.
At the end of the third quarter, Li Ze at the top of the arc received the ball and then broke through with the ball in his right hand, Sovrosa was passed by one step, and finally Ibaka in the penalty area was fouled again and sent Li Ze a free throw.
Durant was already stunned at this time, such a scene seems familiar, but in the first two seasons, they are the leading side.
By the end of the third quarter, everyone on the Thunder was silent, and at 100:74, they only scored 17 points in a single quarter...
Durant saw the turtle that suddenly entered the sewer, and his heart was blocked, and in this quarter of the game, the Thunder could only rely on free throws to score.
Despite falling behind by a big score, after playing more than three minutes on the bench, the main lineups of both sides returned again, Li Ze basically paddled at this time, and only Chris Paul was still full of motivation.
It's a pity that the turtle's defense against him today is very tight, so that Paul has no sense at all, Durant is still trying to score, even if he loses, he also wants to make his stats look better...
The Clippers' bench was screaming, and they were helping Li Ze count the scores, so naturally it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
With 2 minutes and 58 seconds left in the game, Coach Brooks finally changed the main lineup and announced a complete admission of defeat, and finally, at 122:100, with Li Ze's excellent performance, the Clippers successfully defeated the defending champion Thunder.
"Crazy scoring performance, Kayce is so good at scoring, she can score consistently in every quarter!"
"14-of-24, including 8-of-12 three-pointers, 14-of-14 free throws, 50 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers, congratulations to Kayce, the first 50-point of the season was born!"
Steve Cole looked at the technical stats in his hand and couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Durant also played well, 7 of 19, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, 14 of 15 free throws, 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers, both sides seem to be in peak form this season, it's hard to imagine the two on the same team, who can stop them!"
Reggie Miller couldn't help but sigh for a moment, when a team has two super scorers, it's terrifying.
After losing, Durant had a reluctant smile on his face, he had already guessed how the media reporters would report in the evening, and when he saw Li Ze walking towards him, he immediately smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Kayce! A new high for the season! ”
"It's just a good hand, come on, Kevin, don't judge the accident world, I hope we can play each other in the playoffs."
Looking at Li Ze's encouragement with a smile, Durant's heart was sour, and he frantically picked up the lemon, and when he thought of the post-game evaluation, he felt uncomfortable...
Compared with Durant, the lemon essence, the turtle turtle didn't care about the outcome of a game at all, and pulled Li Ze to prepare for the post-game party.
In the game against the defending champions, he scored 50 points, and that night, América's ball critics turned into Li Zechui and frantically praised Li Ze's performance.
However, TNT, which likes to do things, does find another way, in addition to discussing Li Ze's high score, there is also a topic that is quite a matter of doing things:
"Maybe we're all underestimating Kayce's role in the Thunder, he's not just a scorer, he's a metronome for the team, and looking at the Thunder's performance right now, it's hard for me to believe they just won the championship last season."
Host Ernnie Johnson threw out his own opinions, and Kenny Smith nodded in agreement:
"If we couldn't see who the core players of the Thunder team were, maybe this game is enough to prove that Kayce is the more important one, and of course Durant is also a strong scorer."
"What about the Clippers? Chris Paul seems to be at the helm of the team, while Kayce looks more like a scorer, guys, what do you guys think about the Clippers? ”
Charles Barkley asked another question about what happened, and O'Neal on the side chuckled, and then said in a mocking tone:
"Take the ball across the half court and pass it to Kayce, obviously, in the world of basketball, whoever can score is the boss of the team, and I believe most point guards in the league can do it."
"Core players are 2-of-12, 9 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, 3 turnovers? No kidding man, that's 50 points! One person gets close to half of the team's points! ”
“…”
Durant came home and happened to see this episode, and heard 4 people comment that he was not a core player, but just a second-in-command, and he was almost angry, but he scored a team-high 30 points!
"Shet! Shit, big mouth media, don't let me find a chance, or I'm going to squirt you guys on Twitter"
The vast majority of players will send their blessings when they see Li Ze getting high scores, after all, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, and they all eat together in the league, but for Carmelo Anthony, Li Ze's continuous high scores have affected his scoring plans.
This season, due to the inability of Stoudemire to play due to injury, Anthony accidentally hit the No. 4 position, and as a result, after more than half a month of play, Anthony was like a fish in water.
He can easily score from the outside against a bulky big man, and once a three-pointer is open, a simple break can allow him to tear through the opponent's defense with ease.
Anthony seems to have regained the feeling of playing on the Dream Team, and scoring is as easy as drinking water.
In this case, Anthony naturally thought of the scoring champion, and when he saw Li Ze's score becoming more and more perverted, he couldn't help but feel sour when he was interviewed by a New York reporter:
"Of course 50 points is great, but sometimes a lot of players take a lot of shots and it hurts the team, I don't mean anything else, I just want the Knicks to get noticed and we're on the right path!"
Therefore, on the 23rd, when the Clippers traveled to New York to challenge the Nets, many Clippers players were interviewed.
Although the other party is his good brother, Chris Paul looked very calm when facing the camera, and said in a brisk tone:
"I'm sure Mero probably doesn't know our team, we're getting more rounds, we're getting more on the offense, 24 shots, it's very reasonable, and even when necessary, we're willing to give the ball to Kayce and he'll put it in the basket and take away the win!"
When the reporters in New York heard such an answer, their eyes immediately lit up, they can do things! Fortunately, the Knicks have been away for the past two days, and these reporters did not find Anthony in the first place, otherwise it would be an endless tearing battle.
The Nets are still in a turbulent period, but the United Arab Emirates has already learned the essence of fishing, and Lopez has formed a two-tower lineup with Lopez.
"The national team for next year's Asian Championships is not going to recruit me, and after the Olympics, the Basketball Association has started to update and start preparing for the next Olympic Games."
Li Ze responded with a smile while eating the kung pao chicken on the table:
"So fast? I thought I'd have to wait a few more years! ”
Hearing Li Ze's words, the UAE said with emotion:
"We are already old players, after all, in the NBA, the player's career is only 4.8 years, so it is very reasonable to choose to update at this time, maybe the Asian Championship is to select talents."
Li Ze thought that he was only 22 years old, and he still had a long career to go, so he didn't seem to be an old player, but when he thought of the golden badge he had just harvested recently, he suddenly felt that what the UAE said was indeed reasonable:
Achievement Badge [Dribble Veteran]: 2/5000 (Champion Badge Bonus)
Reduces the physical cost of making dribbling and improves the player's sense of the ball.
The bonus effect of this badge is very obvious, and the feeling of being one player is a testament to how good this attribute is.
…
That night's game, the fans of the Celestial Empire loved it, and on Amika's side, the game was not broadcast live in the United States.
Although the Nets are currently 6-4, no one is optimistic about this team, after all, the owner of Kaizi is not yet able to integrate into the NBA.
The game was unremarkable, and considering tomorrow's back-to-back games, Li Ze only played 32 minutes, making 9 of 17 shots, and easily scored 24 points.
At 106:86, the Clippers also won the game easily, and after thinking that it was all a welfare schedule, Li Ze, who won the game and smiled, sighed in his heart:
"The star-making movement of the NBA league is going on all the time..."
Thank you all for your subscription support~
The next game is about to fast forward, and the regular season is fast-paced~
