Chapter 319: Crazy Three Pairs (5800 Words Chapter)
Madison Square Garden has long been hailed by New York's media as the world's greatest basketball mecca.
Of course, this title is mainly to reflect the influence of New York, and the media of Amica are advocating that fans from all over the world can come here to enjoy the highest level of basketball.
Despite the ups and downs of the Knicks' results in recent years, New York's market value has not declined, and the Big Apple is still a place that players yearn for.
On the night of the 17th, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden was lively, and many fans were cheering loudly, but to the embarrassment of the Knicks players, the cheers were given to the opponents.
As Li Ze faced Tyson Chandler, who came up with the switch, and easily threw a step-back three-pointer from the whistle, the atmosphere on the scene had exploded, and the boos disappeared completely.
At halftime, 62-52, the Clippers led by 10 points.
"What an incredible performance! Kayce was in hot form, 10-of-16 from the field in the half, including 5-of-7 three-pointers and 7-of-7 free throws, with 32 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. ”
Steve Kerr was already dumbfounded, a breakthrough layup after blocking and dismantling, a long-range three-pointer, a conversion offense, Li Ze rarely used the middle range, such a performance was outrageous!
"If the Clippers have a better feel on the outside, maybe at the end of the first half, there will be no suspense in the game!"
"I can't describe Kayce's performance, he was also very good on the defensive end, Anthony was 2-of-10 in the first half, relied on 9 free throws, got 14 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist, it seems that our MVP can't accept a second straight loss."
Reggie Miller really couldn't blow it on the offensive end, and began to blow about Li Ze's defense.
At halftime, everyone in the Knicks team didn't say a word, Anthony was so angry that he threw the towel, obviously, the big guy has completely broken the defense!
"Calm down! 10 points difference, we still have half time, the opponent's outside shooting percentage is not high, listen, guys! I need you to defend well! ”
"Packs, delays, physical confrontations, do you want to watch your opponents break the scoring record on their home turf?"
Coach Woodson kept yelling at the chicken soup for the soul.
In the half, the Clippers made 7 of 16 three-pointers, and Li Ze alone contributed 5 three-pointers, and the shooting rate of other players was really not high.
Hit someone without slapping in the face!
Anthony was almost mad by Li Ze, regular season! As for the defense, is it so serious? Isn't it good for everyone to tacitly brush up together?
Shambaugh seemed to want to help the big guy, but before he could speak, Anthony suddenly yelled and shouted:
"Shet! Defensively, I continued to defend in the second half, everyone cheered me up! ”
JR-Smith had the heart to persuade a few words, but seeing that Anthony no longer had a smiling face, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly at Shambaugh.
In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that this is just a face-saving one
As soon as the next game began, when Li Ze appeared on the sidelines wearing the Clippers' red away jersey, many fans began to scream.
Last year's offseason, he was interviewed by Sports Illustrated again, which accumulated a lot of popularity for Li Ze, and Keds smashed advertisements in New York, which seems to have achieved a lot of results.
However, there were still some die-hard Knicks fans at the scene, and Spike Lee, who was wearing small glasses, stood up, first called for the fans to boo, and then shouted at Li Ze:
"You're going to be crazy in the second half! You're not welcome at Madison Square Garden! ”
Li Ze almost burst out laughing, as the fans at the scene were still shouting excitedly, and finally spread his hands at the die-hard fan, then smiled and shrugged, and then beckoned his teammates to prepare to defend.
In the first attack of the second half, Anthony once again came to the right elbow of the free throw line to ask for the ball, and in the second quarter he was 1 of 7, and the poor touch could not stop Anthony's offense.
The moment he received the pass, Li Ze immediately stepped forward to cut the ball, and then quickly took a step back, seeing that Anthony was trying to step again, Li Ze was unmoved.
Looking at it as soon as it was played, everyone in the Clippers was very relaxed, and the ball was in Anthony's hands, which basically meant the end of the Knicks' offense.
Only the veteran Ray Allen is still reminding Jordan Jr. under the basket:
"Andrew! Concentrate and protect your rebounds! ”
Anthony, who continued to test the steps, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, became angry, met Li Ze's block, and quickly pulled out the jump shot!
"Bang!" One more hit!
Jordan Jr. easily protected the backcourt rebound, and when he heard the faint boos from the scene, he couldn't help grinning, and the fans seemed to have defected.
Li Ze took the ball again, and after quickly dribbling through the half, Anthony, who broke the big defense, stepped on the three-point line and prepared to defend Li Ze.
The fans at the scene began to coax again, and Li Ze was also very face-saving, signaling that he didn't need to block and dismantle, holding the ball in his right hand, lowering the center of gravity of his body, and then changing direction twice in a row with the crotch dribble and the front of the body, and his body continued to shake left and right with the rhythm of dribbling.
Anthony regretted it for a while, seeing Li Ze suddenly accelerate with the ball in his right hand, and subconsciously sliding to the left rear, but the next second he saw Li Ze change direction in front of his body and easily shook his defense.
Li Ze pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand, and after dribbling a big step, he suddenly stopped, dribbled vigorously on the spot, and changed the dribble knot again.
Anthony, who readjusted the center of gravity of the defense, just slid to the right rear, faced with a sudden stop, subconsciously pounced, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain, mixed garlic under his feet, and sat on the floor.
"Ahhh
When the star was shaken, Madison Square Garden erupted in crazy screams, especially the front-row fans saw Li Ze calmly glance at Anthony, and then retreated, and couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, revealing an unbelievable look.
Back outside the three-point line, seeing Anthony still sitting on the floor, Li Ze smiled, and then quickly jumped shot!
“OH——!”
“Unbelievable! Kayce——Li! He got it! ”
Commentator Kevin Harlan has already shouted out the tone, and the Knicks fans at the scene can't help but cheer along, it's really exciting.
Paul, who was hanging his arms, was wearing a black suit, and when he saw Li Ze complete the goal, he couldn't help but shout with the atmosphere group, and the towels were all thrown away.
"That's cool! Bro! ”
Griffin, who was crazy, excitedly hugged Li Ze to complete the retreat, and waved his hand to the fans at the scene by the way.
Anthony was pulled up by Felton and Shambaught, and the cheers of the fans at the scene were heard in his ears, and he was almost blown up, and he was embarrassed!
In the next few minutes, Anthony, who was completely in furious mode, frantically asked for the ball, and after a few mid-range hits, he began to throw three-pointers wildly.
The gambling offense is still iron-clad.
And the Clippers seized the opportunity and easily played a few transitions, and Li Ze assisted Griffin to eat cake easily.
This time, Anthony, who received the ball on the left flank, faced Li Ze's defense, and after releasing the ball with his left hand, he suddenly went out and out in place, and then exerted his strength with his feet, and quickly jumped and shot against Li Ze's defense!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Anthony looked very excited after the goal, holding up three fingers and clattering the plug, but he soon noticed that there were no cheers from the scene, but a faint boo
"At the moment, Anthony is 1-of-7 in a single quarter and only has five points, and I would say the game may be over."
Reggie Miller looked at Anthony who was constantly celebrating, and shook his head with some amusement, this is the gap.
The Clippers quickly sent out the baseline ball, Li Ze dribbled through the half, and noticed that the defender in front of him was replaced by Shambaugh, at the top of the arc, first dribbling under the crotch twice in a row, close to the three-point line.
Then his right hand suddenly went in and out slightly, and after his body shook to the right, Li Ze suddenly rose to the ground, and quickly jumped out of the three-point shot!
“Kayce! Another three! YES! ”
The tough response ball made the commentator Kevin Harlan scream excitedly again.
The fans at the scene quickly discovered Li Ze's shot options, and if Anthony chose to shoot three points in the last round, then Li Ze would respond in the next round.
Anthony stands on the free throw line, Li Ze will also burst to the inside, Anthony chooses to dry the middle distance, Li Ze will step back and jump.
The number of shots of the two is almost the same, the only difference is that Li Ze's shooting rate is too high, while Anthony is a box
"4 of 4, man, thanks for the blessings!"
Hearing Li Ze's shout, Spike Lee on the sidelines could only smile and shake his head.
The fans at the scene were already screaming excitedly, and on the big screen in the center of the field, Li Ze's data for the third quarter had been played.
8-of-8 from the field, including 4-of-4 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, he finished with 24 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Some fans have begun to tweet wildly, and the sports media at the scene are also stupid, 56 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter, this is a triple-double?
At 36:21 in the first quarter, and at 98:73 after three quarters, the Clippers already had a 25-point lead.
The fans at the scene were afraid that Li Ze would not appear in the 4th quarter, so they took advantage of the break and began to shout wildly:
“Kayce! Kayce! Kayce! ”
On the bench of the Knicks, Anthony completely broke the defense, 3 of 17, and although he scored 21 points, he understood that it was the referee who gave face
Everyone on the Clippers also knew at this time that Li Ze was about to have a triple-double, and Coach De Nagro patted Kim's shoulder on the thigh and signaled to play for a while.
When the fans at the scene saw Li Ze appearing on the stage, they cheered again.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers took the lead in attacking, and after Li Ze passed halftime, he immediately completed a high block with Griffin.
Li Ze, who broke through with the ball in his left hand, hit the ground and passed to find Griffin at the free throw line, who received the ball, without any hesitation, and quickly jumped to shoot!
"Huh!" Steady hit from mid-range!
Griffin raised an eyebrow at Li Ze, and then the two quickly stepped back with a smile and an assist of +1
Seeing that Li Zezhen was about to brush a triple-double, Anthony was almost angry, and asked for the ball again after halftime, and threw the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line!
"Bang!"
The basket seems to have really been smashed! Seeing Li Ze accept the long rebound again, Anthony's eyes were on fire, and before he could foul, Li Ze accelerated wildly and quickly rushed through the half.
Noticing that Ray Allen had run to the bottom left corner, Li Ze did not hesitate and immediately threw the ball to the opponent, who received the ball and quickly jumped to shoot!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
Ray Allen patted his chest and motioned for me to make a move, don't worry! +1 assist
In less than a minute, Li Ze's assist had already doubled, and the fans on the scene were even more excited, and when the next offensive round came, Anthony faced Li Ze's defense in the left elbow area, and tried to step and then pull out the jumper.
The moment the ball was shot, Li Ze had already run to the basket, the corners of Anthony's mouth twitched, and then he saw the ball hit the front of the basket.
Little Jordan under the basket stuck Chandler stubbornly, Li Ze accepted the rebound again, and the moment the triple-double was achieved, Madison Square Garden erupted in a huge cheer, witnessing history!
Seeing Li Ze launch another conversion offense, everyone in the Knicks hurriedly retreated, and the huge point difference made the defensive enthusiasm plummet.
Li Ze easily broke through to the paint area, and finally carried the Shambaught who returned to the defense, and tilted his left hand to complete the projectile!
"My bowl!"
"Squeak!" Whistle Ball In!
Li Ze celebrated with a smile and clenched his fists, and Shambaugh looked at Li Ze with the eyes of an alien, how to prevent this?
As soon as he stood on the free throw line, Li Ze heard a huge shout erupting from the scene:
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Taking a deep breath, Li Zejia hit the penalty steadily.
Coach Woodson wanted to replace the main lineup, but seeing that Anthony was still frantically asking for the ball on the offensive end, he could only sigh helplessly in the end.
In the following minutes, Li Ze did not shoot too much, but gave the ball to Griffin more often, and in addition to catching the pot, he waited for the Knicks to replace the main force.
With 6:04 left in the fourth quarter, the Clippers had just five seconds left on offense as Griffin threw the ball to Lee.
Receiving the ball at the logo, Shambaugh did not make any defensive moves, and then saw Li Ze make a confident shot in the next second, and then turned around and raised his hands to celebrate.
Subconsciously looked back at the basket, only to see the ball fall into the net accurately.
"Oh yes!!"
The exaggerated three-pointer completely blew up Madison Square Garden, and the fans began to scream wildly.
As head coach Woodson called a timeout, Li Ze stood in the center circle and bowed lightly to greet the fans who were cheering him on.
Reggie Miller shook his head excitedly, and then shouted frantically:
"Unbelievable performance, crazy!"
"20-of-27, including 10-of-13 three-pointers, 13-of-14 free throws, 63 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers, we witnessed Kayce's great performance tonight!"
Madison Square Garden has been fried, the sports media on the scene are frantically tweeting, and the director always focuses on Li Ze.
As Li Ze walked to the bench, he raised his hands and continued to greet the fans, and the scene shouted wildly again:
“MVP! MVP! MVP! ”
Li Ze and the Clippers high-fived everyone one by one to celebrate, and Paul even took out his mobile phone, took a photo with Li Ze, and then sent it directly to INS.
Anthony who returned to the bench was really angry, how accurate Li Ze was, he was set off with iron, 4 of 23, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, 16 of 16 free throws, 26 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers.
"Shet! It's just the regular season! ”
scolded Li Ze in his heart for not being human, Anthony put a towel over his head and completely shut himself up
The second half of the game ended quickly, and some front-row fans began to flock to Li Ze, and finally, 122:96, the Clippers defeated the Knicks!
Craig Saag stood next to Li Ze to prepare for the interview, and some of the audience in the front row all came to take a group photo, and finally calmed the excited fans, and Sager, who was wearing an orange plaid suit, hurriedly said:
"Congratulations! Kayce! A triple double of 60+, it's an incredible performance, I think everyone wants to hear your thoughts now? ”
Seeing that the veteran reporter was squeezed around, Li Ze laughed happily and said:
"I just want to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support, I've already scored 63 points, of course, 60+ triple-double is the first time, and I want to pay tribute to the Knicks, they are a respectable opponent!"
“.”
Scoring 60 points at Madison Square Garden is not an easy task.
In 1984, Bernard King scored 60 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the Christmas game that year, 19 of 30, 22 of 26 free throws, but unfortunately the Knicks lost in the end;
In 2009, in the regular season, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to a 126-117 victory over the Knicks, shooting 17-of-31 from the field, including 3-of-6 three-pointers and 20-of-20 from the free-throw line, scoring 61 points, 3 assists and 1 block.
The above two are the only two players who scored 60 points at Madison Square Garden.
On January 17, 2014, Li Ze's performance completely convinced New York, with 63 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and 60+ triple-doubles! Let the New York Times make a big headline:
"Conquest of New York – Kayce-Li"
At the end of the game that night, Li Ze became hot on Twitter, and all the media reporters of Amerika frantically praised Li Ze's performance.
In the long history of the NBA, Li Ze is the only player who has played a 60+ triple-double, and the NBA league directly issued a poster on INS that night, which happened to be a photo of Li Ze bowing slightly:
"The only one in history! Witness greatness again! Young King! (Crown.jpg)"
In the comments below, many commentators called on the NBA league to continue to award the MVP to Li Ze
In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, except for some of the Comi lemons, the vast majority of fans have turned on Li Zechui mode:
"The garbage forum has been blown up again! Li Zeniu X! I can't blow it! ”
"It's outrageous! It turns out that the No. 1 position is Li Ze's destiny, and he really showed me to kneel. ”
"It's a pity that there are too few shots in the fourth quarter, otherwise it would be easy to brush 70+! The only one in history! Li Zeniu X! ”
"It's just a matter of brushing data, if you want to brush the volute back then, you can also brush three pairs."
"The three-quarter game is already a quasi-triple-double, how can I brush it, besides, I can brush 60 plus three doubles, this is also a skill!"
"74% shooting! Let him brush! I want to apply for the head coach of the Clippers, I will take care of it when I come up, and give the ball to Li Ze and it's over! ”
On January 18, with the Clippers easily defeating the Pacers and completing their revenge, the NBA league also empathetically awarded this week's Weekly Championship to Li Ze:
In the Western Conference, the Clippers are 2-1 this week, and Li Ze averages 44.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 2.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 turnovers per game;
He shot 59.4 percent from the field, 55.6 percent from three-point range and 95.2 percent from the free throw line.
In the Eastern Conference, the Hawks are 3-0, and Al Horford is averaging 21.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 turnovers per game;
He shot 84.4 percent from the field and 84.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Both of them have shown extreme efficiency, and the best of the week is well deserved.
Li Ze didn't care about this award, and he was worried about the next schedule at this time.
The Clippers have welcomed five straight road trips, and although most of the opponents are fish belly teams, the feeling of flying around in the plane is really distressing.
"Chris, how does your shoulder feel? Can you make it to the All-Star Game? ”
Hearing Li Ze's inquiry, Paul, who had been with the team, couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It's not ideal, and if you play two weeks before the All-Star break, you can't turn down a call from the league, and I'm not sure I'm going to recover."
At this time, everyone was on the plane to Detroit, and Griffin heard Paul's words and immediately comforted him:
"It's definitely going to be well, I should have stayed in Los Angeles when I knew it was going to be five away games."
The atmosphere group also comforted Paul, it is rare to be able to enter the starting lineup this year, and it would be too unlucky if he was absent due to injury.
Although the results of the third round of all-star voting showed that Li Ze was still the king of votes, on January 24, the NBA league officially announced the results of the fourth round of voting for the 2013~2014 All-Star Game in New Orleans in a special one-hour program on heaven and earth, which still aroused the amazement of many fans.
With 1616419 votes, Li Ze was successfully elected the 2014 All-Star Game vote king.
It has become the all-star ticket king for 4 consecutive years, and its popularity has exploded!
Durant, who is in second place, also has 1506617 votes, and as for LeBron James, he only got 1487586 votes in the end, ranking third.
At the same time, the NBA league also officially announced the starting list of the East and West All-Stars:
The starting five players in the Eastern Conference are:
Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers, Dwyane Wade of the Heat, Paul George of the Pacers, Carmelo Anthony of the Knicks, LeBron James of the Heat.
The starting five players in the Western Conference are:
Chris Paul of the Clippers, Li Ze of the Clippers, Kevin Durant of the Thunder, Blake Griffin of the Clippers, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves.
After the starting lineup was announced, Howard's fans fryed, and Lefu finally counterattacked?
Shady! Absolutely shady!
The Clippers who had just returned to the hotel hosted a celebratory dinner for the three of them, and they just easily defeated the Bulls tonight.
Chris Paul was not in a high mood, and the shoulder injury was still bothering him, and finally Li Ze comforted again:
"It's a big deal to play a fake starter, let's focus on participating this year!"
Paul, who originally wanted to return home and win an MVP by the way, could only sigh:
"Why is it always me who is unlucky every time?"
