Chapter 380: Let's Grab the Hot Spot (10,000 Words Chapter)
Wilt Chamberlain's 14-game streak of 40+ in 1961 was a record that had been in the dust for a long time, and only Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had ever come close.
In the regular season, players can't guarantee that they will be in the best shape for every game, and the travel from home, unsatisfactory food, uncomfortable hotel beds, etc., can affect the performance of players.
Amerika's critics also didn't expect that in modern basketball, there would be players who could match this record, and at the current trend, there was even a chance to set a new record.
On the night of the 22nd, the Raptors embarrassedly scored only 8 points in the third quarter, and Carroll, who played bravely in the first half, scored zero points after facing Li Ze.
The team's core guard Kyle Lowry also came with a 0-of-3 shooting, contributing 0 points, 1 assist and 1 turnover.
Coach Kessie on the sidelines was already dumbfounded, and he didn't even know what to say to his players during the break, and finally just waved his hand to get the atmosphere team ready to play.
At 66:94, after three quarters of the game, the difference came to 28 points, and the game completely lost its suspense.
Narrator Ralph Lawler has completely entered the Li Zechui mode, and the old man can't stop at all:
"Playing 28 minutes, getting 40 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and no turnovers, Kayce is the GOAT in my mind!"
"I've seen too many star players, but no one can play like him, Kayce can do anything on the basketball court!"
"Clippers fans are the happiest because they can watch Kayce play without having to pay a lot of money!"
In the Staples Arena, the fans of the Clippers were completely happy, although Li Ze no longer appeared in the fourth quarter of the game, but he could enjoy an 8:31 game, and this ticket was also bloody.
Li Ze sat on the bench and secretly called luck in his heart, he didn't expect the Raptors to suddenly pull his hips, and this record sometimes depends on the opponent.
After a full quarter of garbage time, Coach De Nagro finally got Kevin Rooney, Connaughton, and Norman Powell, and the Water Cooler Keepers got their chance.
It's just that the three of them played a little spicy on the court, overpowered, Bang Bang hit the iron, and Looney even had two butter hands, which made the Clippers bench particularly happy.
The Raptors who became the background board were not in a beautiful mood, although this was only a regular season game, but losing like this, it was really hard to get over the face.
In the final quarter of the game, the defensive intensity decreased, and finally allowed the Raptors to score 90 points.
At 90:120, while Li Ze tied Chamberlain's record, the Clippers beat the Raptors by a big margin.
At the end of Week 3, the Clippers finished their game at 12-2, just one win behind the Warriors and in second place in the West.
The reporter of Fox Sports was waiting on the sidelines for a long time, and interviewed Li Ze as soon as the game ended:
"Congratulations, Kayce, for your unbeatable performance, can you talk about how you've kept yourself productive?"
This issue is also a topic that many fans are discussing, 30 minutes, cutting 40 points, Li Ze's routine operation is too outrageous.
"Healthy eating habits, training efficiently day in and day out, plus supporting my team-mates and coaching staff, these are the reasons why I'm in good shape."
"Of course, the most important thing is the enthusiastic support, I love playing at home and the cheers always give me extra motivation!"
Li Ze started the commercial blowing mode, and the reporters of Fox Sports also cooperated.
Although the game was not broadcast live in the United States, the NBA league and various sports media showed Li Ze's score and record after the game.
On social media, Amerika's fans also began to discuss how many 40+ games Li Ze could last.
Before Thanksgiving, the Clippers have one more back-to-back games to play, at the end of November, three games in four days, and overall, the record does have the potential to continue.
On the 23rd, the NBA league announced the Player of the Week for the third week of November, with LeBron James of the Eastern Conference and Li Ze of the Western Conference winning the award.
The Cavaliers have a 2-1 record in three games this week, and LeBron James averaged 25.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.75 turnovers in 36.0 minutes per game;
He averaged 16.3 shots per game and shot 57.1 percent from the field, 3.3 attempts from beyond the three-point line and 60 percent from three-point range, and 5.3 free throws per game and 87.5 percent from the free throw line.
The Cavaliers are particularly low-key in the new season, and the whole team is holding their breath, and after winning the Hawks, the record has also come to 10-3, ranking first in the East, only one win behind the Clippers.
Successfully won the best of the week, the Cavaliers fans rejoiced, this is the chosen son that everyone is looking forward to, play low-key and play efficiently!
The Clippers also won 2-1 in last week's game, Li Ze played an average of 32.7 minutes per game, and could get 42.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.0 turnovers;
He averaged 25 attempts per game while shooting 57.0 percent from the field, 10.7 attempts from beyond the three-point line, 56.1 percent from three-point range, and 9.0 free throws per game and 96.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Li Ze's data is naturally good-looking, but being able to get the best of the week is actually affected by the record, and the data and impression points are full!
Warriors fans are starting to fight for Stephen Curry, and the Warriors didn't lose this week!
Curry averaged 30.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 5.0 turnovers per game while shooting 50.6% from the field, 39.5% from three-point range and 96.0% from the free-throw line.
posted Curry's data, and fans started a new round of tearing battles:
"I'm not convinced, why can't Curry get the best of the week?!"
“.”
Li Ze didn't notice the problem of awards, he had to accompany Anne and Lily to make purchases, and this year's Thanksgiving, everyone chose to celebrate the holiday together.
When I was young, I would get to my parents, but when I got older, with the division and integration of my elders, it was a little embarrassing to join in the fun.
The great thing about living in Los Angeles is that it's a pleasant climate, with an average daytime temperature of around 21°C in November, and you never have to think about thick cotton clothes compared to Montana.
Because of today's shopping, everyone stayed in Lily's house in Beverly Hills last night, Li Ze has always been easy to go out, but for women who love beauty, it doesn't take 1 hour, so don't think about going out.
Watching Lily Collins try on one set of clothes after another, Li Ze said helplessly on the side:
"Let's choose jeans, look at the legs longer!"
Anne on the side had already changed her clothes, and the loose jeans were paired with a loose gray sweater, which looked particularly casual.
looked at her legs at A Lady, and then at the long legs of the two, and finally said angrily:
"No, you're too tall, walking together makes me a little dwarf!"
Anne pointed to the dark blue jeans on the side and said:
"Let's just walk together and let Kayce follow!"
seemed to feel that his little short legs were hopeless, so he resigned himself to A's fate and chose a dress similar to Annie.
This is rarely with girls who are prettier than her, and when she was in college, her sisters were a little ugly.
casually tied a ponytail to herself, the stylist was not around, so she could only settle for a moment, thinking of the plastic sisters who were celebrating the holidays in New York, Lily couldn't help but ask:
"Britney's dad isn't really going to be the Elephant candidate! This is ridiculous! ”
It's a bit outrageous for a billionaire to appear in a reality show, and when she was in college, Lily Collins knew about Britney's unreliable cheap dad, and the two also mocked each other about it, and it often happened to fight for a dad.
"This is completely in line with Amika's national conditions, you British chick doesn't understand!"
Li Ze laughed on the side and ridiculed the recent election situation, a large-scale political reality show, I have to say, it is indeed interesting!
Anne on the side patted Li Ze, and then couldn't help but smile and said:
"Wait until February to see the real situation, like the party primary, the situation should be good, the past few years have become more and more chaotic, fortunately, our lives have not been affected."
put on lipstick and turned around in front of the two again, and Lily complained again at this time:
"Machismo certainly can't win! Kayce: Will you help canvassing? ”
Li Ze felt that this girl must have been tired and confused last night, and laughed and teased again:
"I'm not interested in participating in these things, what Amika has become has nothing to do with me, besides, I'm from the Celestial Empire, from my personal point of view, the lighthouse has disintegrated, maybe I'll applaud it!"
Anne glanced at Li Ze again, then stepped forward to hold Lily, and no longer listened to Li Ze's nonsense:
"Go for a drive! Today we're going to pick a gift for Tate! ”
Thinking of the little dot that is becoming more and more cute, Lily just ticks the lemon again:
"Sure enough, the half-breed will become more and more beautiful, Tate will definitely be popular in the future, I hope his personality will not be like Kayce!"
“.”
There have always been a lot of gossip reporters in Los Angeles, and less than 2 hours after going out, a photo of the three of them shopping together appeared on INS.
Then, the gray printed T-shirt of the same style on Li Ze was sought after by fans
Li Ze has become more and more proficient in cutting leeks, although he has never been able to understand the fan economy, but as long as he understands that this thing can make money, Li Ze doesn't mind waving a sickle:
"Dig the foot of the capitalist wall, this work must continue!"
As Thanksgiving approached, the schedule was also intense, with the No. 24 Clippers flying to Denver to take on the Nuggets on the road.
Gallinari played well against his old club, shooting 10-of-17, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers.
Coach Mike Malone smiled wryly at the end of the game, and the start of the game was fine, but with Farid injured, the team's results also fluctuated.
At 111:94, the Clippers easily defeated the opponent, Li Ze played 35 minutes, easily cut 41 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.
Howard was not in a good mood, and his attention dropped after coming to Denver, and he was 7-of-13 in this game, with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.
After the game, no one interviewed the former All-Star center, and the out-of-fashion star had no traffic
Seeing that all the media reporters flocked to Li Ze's side, Howard suddenly felt sour, and he also wanted such treatment.
As soon as the game ended, the NBA league released a data poster of Li Ze, with a very simple text:
"Unbeatable performance, witness to a new history! #年轻的国王 (Crown .jpg)"
The headline on the front page of various sports media was that Li Ze broke Chamberlain's record, scoring 40+ in 15 consecutive games.
The news has completely swept the screen, but for Lakers fans, tonight's game has broken the big defense!
That night, the Lakers challenged the Warriors on the road, scoring 11 points in the first quarter and 17 points in the third quarter.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 77:111, and the Warriors at home defeated the Lakers!
Stephen Curry played just 30 minutes, shooting 10-of-21 from the field and finishing with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.
In contrast, Bryant, who played 25 minutes, was 1 of 14, including 1 of 7 from beyond the three-point line, and only got 4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.
Kobe Bryant, who didn't perform well, ended up missing the press conference, and the superstars struggled to withstand the invasion of injuries, and the Black Mamba really couldn't do it.
Most sports media didn't take the opportunity to make a big fuss either, Kobe Bryant was out of gas, and Black Kobe no longer had traffic.
On November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, the NBA league arranged a total of 12 games that day, which can be regarded as a gift for fans on Thanksgiving.
The Clippers fans were beaming, and when they returned to their home court, the Clippers easily defeated the Jazz 102-115.
Li Ze played 34 minutes and scored 42 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 turnovers.
The team won, Li Ze extended his personal record, and the Clippers fans were very happy with the Thanksgiving gift.
Rockets fans were uncomfortable, losing 102-93 to the Grizzlies at home.
The bearded ball player recovered 11 of 19, cutting 40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers, Paul also scored 20 points, but the interior was blown up, and he still regretted losing in the end.
With 4 wins and 11 losses, such a record seems to indicate that the Rockets are going to dive to the top spot!
Many sports media are predicting when head coach McHale will be out of class, and the team's poor record will have to be blamed by the head coach.
If he continues to lose after Thanksgiving, then McHale is likely to become the first head coach to be sacked this season.
When Li Ze returned to his home in Beverly Hills, Anne and Lily were still sorting out the gifts, and tomorrow everyone would go to the blonde sister's side to join in the fun.
"Stop looking at your phone, did your little canary message you again?"
Lily watched Li Ze type with her phone in her arms, thinking that Candace chick was texting again.
Li Ze shook his head, and then said with emotion:
"Kobe Bryant's text message, holiday wishes, by the way, he is ready to retire."
Suddenly hearing such news, the two were stunned for a while, and then they both said with emotion:
"This is definitely big news!"
"Tickets for Lakers games are definitely going to go up again!"
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and retired from touring, which is similar to the memory in his mind, it can only be said that the fiasco to the Warriors was indeed a big blow to Kobe.
On November 26, Thanksgiving Day, the Clippers posted photos of the team's community activities on INS.
Steve Ballmer joined the Clippers at Inglewood's Thanksgiving event.
As the day of moving gets closer, the contact between the two parties becomes more frequent.
As the only superstar in the team, Li Ze also actively participated in the event to give back to the fans for their support.
Free food and clothing were distributed, a charity fund was given to fans in need, and finally a photo was taken at the address of the new stadium with the city hall staff.
Ballmer, who opened the way in the United States, also has to follow the rules, and this kind of behavior that binds the team to the community is a regular operation.
Fans also like their favorite stars, social media is becoming more and more developed, and everyone hopes that their favorite stars will become high-quality idols.
In the evening, many players posted photos of Thanksgiving with their families.
Shakira also posted a photo of Li Ze preparing dinner on Facebook, and the blonde sister's fans have already exceeded 100 million, and when she saw the accompanying text that said "Happy Thanksgiving", Lemon Essence began to scold Li Ze again:
"Scumbag! Why don't you break up yet! ”
"I have all the children, how can I break up!"
"I also want to experience a free life, Kayce is my idol!"
In the first game after Thanksgiving, Li Ze's record was finally broken, 84:111, and the Clippers defeated the Pelicans at home!
On the Tianchao Tiger Fight Forum, the fans were pushed with messages as soon as the game ended.
"Li Ze is in average condition, 11 of 20, and only got 32 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals."
In the end, 40+ consecutive freezes were fixed in 16 games, looking at the top of the news, everyone couldn't help but start complaining on the tiger pounce:
"Can the Pelicans be a little more outrageous! 36 points in the first half, how can this be played! ”
"Anthony Davis at this level? Said good stars blow each other up! You're getting tough! ”
"4 wins and 12 losses, basically at the same level as the Rockets, a proper fish belly team, Li Ze lost, met a strong opponent, this record can continue."
"If I want to say, I should continue to play and brush up on the court and easily score 40 points."
"MVP also needs to save face! It's hard to brush up on points, Li Ze is awesome! Anyway, there are still so many games, and there are still chances! ”
"Damn, I just remembered that the regular season has just begun, and this record won't go back and forth, right?"
"Volute has done 40+ in a row many times in a season, and Li Ze is still far behind."
"Comi is here again, hurry up and watch Kobe Bryant hit the iron, what are you comparing with Li Ze!"
“.”
Li Ze didn't care about the record, and went to visit Holiday in the away team's locker room after the game.
"It's good to rest for half a month, Kayce, I'm going to be a father too!"
Holiday didn't care about his injury, but shared his good news with Li Ze.
"Congratulations, Bro! Take good care of Lauren! ”
Thinking that his marriage was opposed by both families, Holiday hopes that the birth of a child can resolve this situation:
"Next time we come to New Orleans, let's get together again!"
Amika's sports media is still lamenting Li Ze's record, on the 29th, the Lakers lost to the Pacers at home, and at the post-game press conference, Kobe Bryant announced a message directly to the media present:
"This will be the last season of my career!"
The media at the scene almost thought that they had misheard, and looking at the many shocked faces in front of him, Kobe Bryant smiled and said:
"Every night I put my heart and soul into the game, but my body can't support me to play freely."
"I was playing like shit, and I realized I had to get off the basketball court I loved."
"That's it, it's a deliberate decision!"
The news quickly spread all over social media, and many players received Kobe's text message in advance, everyone knew about Black Mamba's choice, but Komi couldn't stand it, and ran directly to Twitter to leave a message:
"We want to see you play until you're 40, the NBA can't live without Kobe!"
"Why retire? Obviously, you can continue to fight. ”
On the morning of the 30th, Kobe Bryant officially released a video of his retirement after the end of this season:
"It felt like the last warm-up before the race and now we can start on a new journey and that's my retirement declaration."
In the video, Kobe Bryant looked calm, and then personally delivered a thank you letter to the fans in Los Angeles from the bleachers (B/R) - "Dear Basketball".
The NBA league also issued a statement afterwards expressing its respect for Kobe:
"Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest stars of all time, his basketball talent, the passion he brings to us, the unparalleled performance he has on the basketball court, it all makes us unbelievable!"
The sports media finally took the audience's eyes off Li Ze.
Even in the game against the Timberwolves, Li Ze scored another 41 points, and everyone no longer paid attention to it.
Durant was depressed to find that he won the news of the best of the week did not cause a trace of discussion, and fans were paying attention to Kobe Bryant and discussing buying tickets to watch the game
On the 30th, in addition to Kobe Bryant's retirement, Paul George of the Eastern Conference and Kevin Durant of the Western Conference also won the Player of the Week.
The Pacers went 3-0 in this week's game, with Paul George averaging 37.3 points, 6.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.3 turnovers per game;
He shot 53.8 percent from the field, 55.2 percent from three-point range and 86.7 percent from the free throw line.
Durant's efficiency has also improved, and the Thunder are also 3-0, averaging 35.0 minutes per game, contributing 30.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.3 blocks and 3.3 turnovers;
While filling the stat column, he shot 58.5% from the field, 52.2% from three-point range, and 94.4% from the free throw line!
It's a pity that such an efficient performance of the two was ignored by the vast majority of fans.
Various sports media followed the trend, and in addition to introducing the performance of the two, most of the time was discussing Kobe Bryant's retirement tour.
On December 1, Koreh returned to Philadelphia, and the atmosphere of the night's game exploded.
Every time Kobe Bryant touches the ball, it will cause cheers from the fans, this is Kobe's hometown, no matter what grievances there were before, at this moment, everyone just wants to see Kobe make a shot.
7-of-26 from the field and 4-of-17 from beyond the three-point line, Kobe Bryant finally scored 20 points inefficiently, but the fans at the scene were cheering him loudly.
91:103, after the start of the new season, the 76ers, who failed to win a game, ushered in their first win of the season, with a record of 1 win and 18 losses.
The rising ticket prices can't stop the enthusiastic fans, and the media have sent requests to the Lakers for interviews, and everyone knows that every game in the future is a hot spot.
On the morning of December 2, the NBA league announced the Player of the Month for November, and Paul George of the Eastern Conference and Li Ze of the Western Conference successfully won the award.
The Pacers are 11-5, and Paul George has mediocre statistics, averaging 27.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 3.7 turnovers per game;
He shot 45.8 percent from the field, 45.1 percent from three-point range and 85.0 percent from the free throw line.
The fans' attention is on Li Ze!
In the November game, the Clippers had a 14-2 record, Li Ze played an average of 33.6 minutes per game, scoring 41.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.4 turnovers;
He averaged 25.8 shots per game and shot 58.2 percent from the field, 10.6 attempts from beyond the three-point line and 51.8 percent from three-point range, and 8.5 free throws per game and 95.7 percent from the free throw line.
The quasi-triple-double data of 40+ detonated social media all of a sudden.
Even Kobe Bryant's retirement tour can't overpower Li Ze's limelight, this data exploded!
On the morning TNT program, the four people no longer discussed Kobe's matter, but studied Li Ze's outrageous data.
Host Ernnie Johnson seems to have discovered the secret of Li Ze's high score, pointed to the technical statistics on the big screen, and said with a smile:
"Averaging about 10 three-pointers per game, that's an incredible statistic, and what's even more rare is that Kayce's three-point shooting percentage is over 50%, which is why he can easily score 40 points!"
Kenny Smith added:
Of course, don't overlook the free throw, Kayce has rarely scored from mid-range this season, mostly under the basket and outside the three-point line.
"We've talked about this style of play for a long time, but there's not a single player in the league who can play Kayce's stats at the moment."
Charles Barkley shook his head again before continuing to promote his old-school basketball theory:
"The stats are really good, but I want to say that with this style of play, the Clippers simply can't win the championship!"
"They're too reliant on three-pointers, and as the season progresses, the players' form fluctuates, and the Clippers' record starts to decline, and championship teams shouldn't stick to that style of play!"
O'Neill didn't deny it entirely, but ridiculed the high-level data:
"I'd love to see what our peers have to say about Kayce's high-level data, and I'm sure to have a problem with their algorithm in the end."
"No one would have thought that a player would be able to achieve a 40+ triple-double, which proves once again that high-end data is completely unreliable!"
All three of them know why O'Neal would belittle the high-end stats, mainly because Kobe Bryant's high-end stats are really stretched, and the Sharks don't want to see their old partners belittled.
Kenny Smith shrugged his shoulders and did not refute O'Neill's point, instead saying in an expectant tone:
"I really want Kayce to keep up this form, the jump shot can't win a championship, Kayce can probably break that rule!"
“.”
Something new can always attract people's attention, and Kobe's retirement tour is indeed attractive, but Li Ze can play a quasi-triple-double of 40+ this year, and that is the biggest hot spot!
The Lakers are on an road trip, and on the night of the 2nd, the Clippers will host the Pacers.
The game was the Clippers' first national broadcast of December, and TNT warmed up early.
In addition, Paul George also happened to win the Player of the Month award in November, and the matchup between the two attracted the attention of a large number of fans.
As Paul George returned from injury and gradually found his form, head coach Vogel led the Pacers to an 11-5 record.
The second position in the East also shows the current strength of the Pacers!
Before the start of the game, Li Ze was interviewed by a large number of media reporters in the locker room, and TNT, as the broadcaster tonight, asked again:
"Kayce, a lot of people are questioning your data, what are your thoughts on that?"
Everyone handed the recording equipment to Li Ze, this is a hot topic today!
Li Ze did not answer positively, but asked with a smile:
"The Clippers are 14-2 and second in the league, is there a problem with that record?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Li Ze spoke again:
"If there is no problem with the record, then there is no problem with my statistics and playing style! I have always insisted that data is all about victory, or that data is a derivative of victory. ”
"I will stick to this style of play in the next games, believe me, the Clippers will keep winning!"
Paul George has been depressed lately, winning the best of the week and getting the best of the month, and everyone is talking about Li Ze's stats.
Critics seem to have forgotten about him, and social media is either discussing Kobe's retirement tour or Li Ze's 40+ quasi-triple-double.
The NBA is also a vanity fair, and if you want to be an All-Star, you have to attract the attention of fans.
Paul George, who had returned from a major injury this season, was the object of the league's praise, and the inspirational story of continuing to play after breaking his leg is even more worthy of respect!
It's a pity that it backfired, most of the traffic was sucked away by Kobe Bryant and Li Ze, Paul George was aggrieved, is it so difficult to grab the headlines once?
In that night's game, the Staples Arena was full, and the 40+ quasi-triple-double data made the Clippers fans ecstatic, which was too violent.
Paul George tried his best to show himself after the opening, facing Li Ze's defense and constantly holding the ball alone.
After failing to make the first few breaks, Paul George, who received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, also started calling for cover, and Ian Mashinmi immediately came to the three-point line to block and pick-and-roll.
The big body played a role, Li Ze failed to squeeze through the cover for the first time, and Paul George, who held the ball in his left hand, took a step sideways, briefly got rid of Li Ze's pursuit, and then made a quick stop jump shot outside the three-point line!
"Whew" three-point shot hollow into the net!
"Shh
Seeing the score on the court turn to 21:19, the Clippers fans let out a wild boo.
Paul George smiled after the goal, he likes to be booed and it makes him feel the attention of the fans.
The Clippers didn't have much emotion to see the score being overtaken, and Ingles, who started tonight, was full of motivation and the team pursued three-point shots, which is definitely a good thing for him.
“ Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! ”
In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze dribbled through the half of the court unhurriedly.
Jokic and Gallinari covered in the left and right blocking areas, and Ingles used Tucker's off-ball cover in the three-second zone and Jokic's lower cover to successfully bounce to the left wing outside the three-point line.
After receiving Li Ze's pass, he made a false movement, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Monta Ellis, who joined the Pacers this season, was not slow to react defensively, did not take a shaky step, and slid to the left rear at the first time, without giving room for his hand.
Paul George at the top of the arc was looking at Li Ze's movements, but he was worried that his teammates would not be able to prevent him and would be lightly scored by the opponent.
Seeing Ingles dribble and make a sudden stop, getting rid of Monta Ellis's defense, Paul George immediately slid to help.
As soon as he moved his body, Ingles immediately threw the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc, and when Paul George tried to chase after him, he found that Gallinari's cover was also following.
The top of the arc was delayed, and Gallinari, who completed the pick-and-roll, immediately went down to take away Paul George's defense, and Lavoy Allen in the No. 4 position was forced to assist in front of Li Ze.
The right hand of the ball moved a step laterally, noticing that Lavoy Allen's left foot was in front, Li Ze quickly pushed the ball to change direction, Lavoy Allen easily slid to the right back, and just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he found that Li Ze changed direction under his crotch again.
Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand and preparing to break through, Lavoy Allen hurriedly adjusted his pace, and at the same time, changed the center of gravity of the defense and tried to slide to the left back.
The big man is attacked to support the feet in front of the defense, and even if the brain reacts, the body can't keep up.
Seeing Li Ze simply dribble behind his back and return to the three-point line, Lavoy Allen could only stay in place and watch Li Ze shoot easily!
"Huh!" The three-pointer is scored again!
At 21:22, Li Ze's response ball suddenly ignited the atmosphere of Staples Arena.
Coach Vogel stood on the sidelines frowning, and as the league relaxed the mobile cover and squeezed through the defensive difficulties, the big man was also a little embarrassed to defend and dismantle.
Ian Masinmi and Lavoy Allen were the two inside players who scored a lot of points in the first quarter, and Li Ze was able to score easily once he faced a mismatch.
Coupled with the fact that the Clippers have a good outside hand, in order to prevent the game from being shot by three-point shots, Coach Vogel insisted on single defense.
Seeing the back of Li Ze's retreat, Coach Vogel waved to Jordan Hill on the bench, and the team needed a more flexible interior combination.
With 3:05 left in the first quarter, Monta Ellis saw Paul George being entangled by Li Ze and couldn't catch the ball, and the left wing used his speed to break through Ingles' defense and shoot to score 2 points!
Turning around, the left wing ran sideways to get rid of the defense, Ingles used Jokic's upper cover on the free throw line, received a pass from Li Ze at the top of the arc, and threw the ball without making any adjustments!
"Huh!" Three-pointer again!
On the Clippers bench, there was a burst of jubilation in the atmosphere group, and it was the Pacers' turn to attack, Paul George was not willing to be lonely, received the ball at the logo position, and used Ian Masinmi's high post to block and get rid of Li Ze's defense.
Jokic stepped on the three-point line, and the next second he saw Paul George shoot a long-range three-point pullup jump shot!
"Bang!" Hit the nail in a rage!
The long rebound just bounced into Gallinari's hand, and immediately threw the ball forward, Li Ze received the ball on the left flank, and then quickly rushed across the half court.
Paul George knew he had made a mistake and immediately retreated to Lee's side.
When the left wing was close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly dribbled under his crotch, paused slightly on the three-point line, and then dribbled behind his back, slightly raising the center of gravity of his body, quickly in and out with his left hand, shaking his right and slamming left, and accelerating again.
After the big injury, Paul George lost half of his explosiveness, and was almost taken by Li Ze's emergency stop, and desperately slid to the right rear, but lost most of his body, and could only watch Li Ze approach the basket.
No longer making unnecessary shaking, Li Ze jumped with both feet when approaching the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and leaned forward.
Paul George, who followed the jump, subconsciously made a blocking action, but it hit Li Ze's left arm!
"My bowl!"
"Squeak!"
Li Ze shouted, but his body was not affected in any way, and when he heard the referee's whistle, he easily picked up the basket!
Hearing the cheers of the fans, Paul George felt a little annoyed after landing, and at the same time a wave of frustration welled up, before the big injury, he would definitely not be easily broken through by Li Ze.
"The Pacers are making mistakes, they should keep their previous offensive rhythm, this easy scoring opportunity, Kayce never misses!"
Reggie Miller sighed when he saw Paul George's chagrined clapping, he wanted to see the Pacers win, but the game was tilting in favor of the Clippers.
"Kayce was so consistent, he seemed to be at his best every game, 5-of-7, 2-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and with that free throw, he scored another 15 points."
Commentator Kevin Harlan has thoroughly understood Li Ze's stability, with 26 shots, but the average shooting rate per game is close to sixty percent.
At 23:28, as Li Ze hit a free throw, the difference came to 5 points.
"You should pass the ball, Bro! Otherwise, you're going to lose this game! ”
Li Ze noticed that Paul George seemed very unconvinced, and immediately quipped when he returned to the defense.
Thinking of the overlooked Best of the Week and Best of the Month, Paul George also immediately responded:
"I'm going to keep shooting, I'm going to win this fight!"
Coach Vogel took advantage of the free throws just now and replaced Jordan Hill with Ian Mashinmi to enhance the mobility of the lineup.
But on the offensive end, lacking a high-quality pick-and-roll for a big man, Lavoy Allen's cover was easily squeezed past by Li Ze.
45 degrees on the right side, cut in after the block, Paul George holds the ball in his right hand and keeps accelerating.
Sensing that Li Ze was also chasing after him, Paul George, who was completely up, chose to continue attacking the basket.
Trying to take three steps and try to complete a one-handed split, Paul George was just taking off in the paint area, and before Paul George could make a pull move, he was pushed down by the faster Li Ze.
"Oh!!"
Seeing the opponent's star player dunk blocked, the Clippers fans cheered loudly, Paul George stumbled and almost hit the street, and then tried to chase the defense, only to find that Li Ze had rushed out of the three-point line.
"Shet!"
Annoyed and cursed, he could only follow his teammates to desperately return to defense, Li Ze in the transition offense rushed faster and faster, Jordan Hill, who had just come on the court, had no choice but to foul and send Li Ze, who rushed into the paint area, to the free throw line.
"Shhhhh
The Clippers fans at the scene were very dissatisfied, and the wonderful fast break was gone, and they immediately booed again!
Coach Vogel on the sidelines didn't expect that in just a few rounds, the point difference was 10 points, and he secretly shook his head in his heart, and was a little dissatisfied with Paul George's superior.
With Li Ze's free throw, the score came to 23:30, and Coach De Nagro immediately replaced Kim's thigh, and the Clippers rotated the lineup.
Paul George also knows his own problems, but he just doesn't like the feeling of being ignored, and when he heard the fans at the scene start cheering for Li Ze again, his heart immediately hit the lemon:
"It's good to play in Los Angeles."
