In the 15~16 season, in April, the competition for playoff spots is becoming more and more fierce.

The Clippers went back to back in two straight games late March, losing to the Thunder on the road, bringing their record to 62-13.

The Spurs stubbornly held on to the No. 2 position, maintaining one win, 63-12, and the two sides did not give in to each other, both wanting to get home-court advantage.

In contrast, the Warriors finished the March schedule with a 68-7 record, basically sitting in the No. 1 position in the league.

Amerika's sports media faced with all kinds of records and even felt that the reports couldn't keep up.

Li Ze cut 40+ in 18 consecutive games, and after repeated horizontal jumps this season, he approached the end of the regular season, once again breaking the previous record of 15 consecutive 40+ games!

What's even more terrifying is that Li Ze's triple-double number has also reached 20 games this season, and he has set a record of 40+ triple-doubles in 9 consecutive games in the middle.

This record does not need to be checked at all, it is the only one in history, this time it is not only Jordan who came, but also Chamberlain who came and it was useless.

Of course, there is still a bit of a gap from the record of 41 triple-doubles set by Oscar Robertson in a single season in the 1961~62 season, but Li Ze has a chance to set an even more outrageous record:

"40+ triple-doubles per game this season!"

Averages 40 points per game in the regular season is already outrageous, and if you add a triple-double, it's absolutely outrageous, it's outrageous—outrageous...

This record doesn't need to be checked up, it's the only one in history!

Li Ze has simply become the "father" of all kinds of ball critics, no matter what the program, it has to mention Li Ze, many Twitter reporters who comment on the ball, the Clippers can't wait to post 10 tweets directly for a game.

Steve Ballmer flew away with the team every day at the end of March, and the old man was eager to tell Coach De Nagro:

"Give me the board, let Li Ze make up the rebounding data!"

Even away fans sometimes cheer for Li Ze's stats.

On March 31, when Li Ze was a guest in the Russian City, the enthusiastic Russian City fans erupted in huge cheers in the Chesapeake Energy Arena after Li Ze completed the triple-double data.

What you can't get is always the best!

This season, the Thunder's record is reasonable, but the team's management has been in turmoil.

In early March, McClandon, the majority shareholder of the Thunder, was killed in a serious car accident!

Coincidentally, less than 24 hours after McLangdon was indicted for conspiracy to illegally bid for crude oil and natural gas leases in Northwest Oklahoma.

The police defined the car accident as a suicide, but the people who eat melons can only know the specific situation.

The majority shareholder has been advocating moving the team back to Russian City, but with Durant failing to complete the contract extension ahead of schedule and the team's record is not ideal, many media believe that the Thunder may leave Russian City!

After all, after winning two consecutive championships, the Thunder will pursue greater interests, while Russian City will limit the development of the team, and here, there will be no big broadcast contracts at all.

This is also the recent hot news in the NBA circle, coupled with Li Ze's data, the Warriors' best record, Kobe's retirement tour, and the competition for playoff spots, for a while, there were happy troubles, there were too many hot spots...

The NBA league has blossomed, and the referees of individual games will help Li Ze make up the data and give 2 more free throws, so that Li Ze can score 40 points in the third quarter, which has become a routine operation!

How to make stars, the alliance is too familiar, and Li Ze's efficiency is very high, and the work of pushing the boat down the river is very easy.

This made the teams crazy and relaxed, and the illegal cover relaxed the scale, and Li Ze couldn't touch it at some times...

How to prevent this TM? Directly judged to lose!

President Adam Silva was also smiling in an interview with the New York Times:

"The NBA is still thriving, it's a new era, and we're bringing fans closer to the stars..."

"Kayce has played an incredible season and the Warriors even have a chance to break last year's best record set by the Clippers."

"This is the NBA in the new era, and it's an honor for the league to give the world a wonderful basketball game!"

“...”

Li Ze and the Clippers did eat the dividends of the rules, but this was also earned by everyone.

The scale of illegal cover is similar, but only the Clippers and Warriors explode with three-pointers.

The Warriors' elevator door tactics have been complained about this season, and the lemon spirits are not good, and when they see the Warriors making a profit, they have to mess up this matter!

And the tactics of the Clippers are sometimes simple and rude, that is, to break through the ball, the lemon essence is uncomfortable, but there is nowhere to start, Li Ze is not Curry, there is no three-point shot, and the low post +2 is also stable and terrible...

On April 1, the Warriors hosted the Celtics, Blake Griffin returned from injury, and the Green Shirts narrowly beat the Warriors that night.

Seeing that the playoffs are about to start, the return of the surface brothers in April is considered to be looking for form for the playoffs in advance.

9-of-20 shooting, 22 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover, Griffin delivered a good stat.

Of course, what is jaw-dropping in this game is that the Warriors have made 43 shots from beyond the three-point line, and they only made 83 shots in this game, which is more than half of the three-point shots.

With 68 wins and 8 losses, the Warriors still have a chance to create the best record in history!

No one was going to pass up that opportunity, and Steve Curb even increased the playing time of the main lineup, and the whole Warriors were holding their breath.

On April 2, Clippers fans were expecting the Spurs to lose, but to everyone's regret, the Spurs still held their ground playing at home.

95:102, winning this game, the Spurs' record came to 64-12.

Popovich and the Spurs are also holding their breath as they want to keep their second place and get home-court advantage this year!

Neither the Spurs nor the Clippers had their first-round opponents in mind, as the bottom half of the team record did stretch.

The Rockets are currently 37-39, and the bearded players are back in shape after a complete breakup with Khloe Kardashian, and they have to fight for the 8th place in time.

On the evening of April 3, at 107:116, the Clippers at home easily defeated the Wizards and continued to attack the regular season record.

After the loss, the Wizards improved their record to 37-40 and still ranked 9th in the East.

This season, the Eastern Conference is also very competitive, and it is impossible to make the playoffs with 30+ wins like in the previous two years.

In the Staples Arena, Clippers fans were cheering loudly for Lee's performance.

14-of-25, 4-of-10 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, 40 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals and 1 turnover.

Scored 40+ in 19 consecutive games and 21st triple-double this season!

Steve Ballmer stood under the basketball hoop and clapped constantly, while also waving fists in celebration with the crowd in the front row.

Although it was not a national live game, a reporter from Fox Sports came forward to interview it for the first time.

As the local broadcaster of the Clippers, compared with the broadcast contracts of Time Warner and the Lakers, Fox Sports has won in recent years.

"Congratulations, Kayce, after tonight, you've set a new record again, which is truly an unbeatable achievement, can you talk about how you feel at this time?"

Jenny of Fox Sports is a veteran reporter who has been in charge of interviews with the Clippers since he returned to Los Angeles.

Maybe he thinks that Li Ze likes blonde girls, most sports media will always do what he likes, and the two are old acquaintances, although sometimes they will laugh at each other, but Li Ze never has in-depth exchanges with reporters...

'The new record is good and thank you to the fans for their support, but we're not done yet, and I hope the team can get home advantage in the playoffs.'

"So for the rest of the game, we're still going to give it our all!"

Seeing Li Ze answer with a smile, Jenny also turned on the business mutual blowing mode by the way, and finally took the opportunity to hook her fingers when she shook hands...

Li Ze was helpless in his heart, this one was no match for his blonde sister, and he was not interested in entanglement with married people:

"The current life is exciting enough, you really have to protect yourself when you go out..."

With the next two games going back-to-back with the Lakers, the coaching staff was completely relaxed, and all they had to do was wait for the Spurs to make a mistake.

...

The dynasty team is bound to decline, playing more games for three years in a row, and the body will also suffer.

Blake Griffin has been lying down this season, and even if he played in April, he played 32 games in the regular season this year.

Chris Paul's attendance this season has also been affected, and after playing 82 games in the 14~15 season, he will attend a maximum of 61 games this season.

Playing next to Li Ze, the pressure is much less, and Paul's consumption is not great, but this year, in order to fight for a playoff spot, Chairman Cannon is really desperate in April.

Team Rocket can't afford to lose!

On the night of the 3rd, the Rockets hosted the Thunder, and Paul and Harden both played 44 minutes.

Harden was 12-of-25, 5-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, 12-of-14 from the free-throw line, and exploded with 41 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 5 turnovers;

Paul was 5-of-14 from the field, 3-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 17 points, six rebounds, six assists, two steals and three turnovers.

The two combined for 58 points, and finally 110-118, the Rockets defeated the Thunder with a difficult victory.

Although the record came to 38-39, the eighth-place Jazz also won against the Suns, 39-38, still leading by one win.

After winning the game, the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center arena were also cheering loudly, and they still have hope of making the playoffs.

Paul was so tired that he sat on the bench and gasped for breath, and this season was so efficient that he lost so many games that he even felt very uncomfortable:

"Why is it so hard to win? Must make it to the playoffs! ”

In the fight for eighth place, the Rockets and Jazz had to fight hard in the final few games, working hard for a season, and no one wanted to lose a playoff spot because of a one-win gap.

Amelica fans are very happy to see that.

The Clippers and Spurs are vying for the home court, and in the Eastern and Western leagues, the competition for eighth place is also very fierce.

Popovich is worried about the team's schedule at this time, and the Spurs will meet the Warriors twice next, and if they lose both, they will most likely lose home-court advantage...

On April 5, the Spurs met a desperate Jazz team on the road.

With Leonard's mid-range 2-pointer with 5 seconds to go, the Spurs struggled to beat their opponents.

At the same time, 94:114, the Clippers easily won against the Lakers, and Li Ze also extended his 40+ record to 20 games.

With 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 turnover, Li Ze's triple-double this season also came to 22 games.

Lee's stats once again sparked a frenzied discussion among Amerika's commentators, but the big hit of the night was the Warriors' unexpected loss.

At 124:117, after a hard-fought overtime, the Warriors, who were playing at home, unexpectedly lost to the Timberwolves.

The record also came to 69-9, losing 9 games, which means that the Clippers can't break the best record in history!

Commentators are a little incredulous, the Timberwolves have a proper fish belly, 25-52, and the Warriors actually lost to such a team?

Stephen Curry was blamed after the game, shooting 7-of-25, 4-of-14 from beyond the three-point line, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 3 turnovers, and 1-of-7 in overtime.

Warriors fans are also very disappointed, even if they win against the Spurs later, they can't break the record, and this breath is stuffed in their hearts again...

There were even many commentators who tweeted directly after the game:

"Stephen Curry can't be a superstar, he shouldn't play like this in such an important game, that's the gap between him and Kayce!"

There are also some sports media who believe that this game will be a watershed moment for MVP ownership.

If Curry can lead the Warriors to 74 wins, coupled with 30+ points, it may be possible to win the MVP, but now, Li Ze has a high probability of winning the award...

On April 6, the Clippers faced the Lakers back-to-back, and Li Ze only got 28 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals in this game.

118:81, Clippers beat Lakers...

The scoring record of 40+ in a row was interrupted, and the game just ended, Li Ze's fans and Komi were torn apart again, and many thought that Kobe Bryant was deliberate!

2 of 12, playing 22 minutes, Bryant got 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 turnovers.

The sports media in the audience were all relieved that they finally didn't have to write press releases! The Lakers have also done a good thing.

Coach De Nagro also has some regrets, but the Lakers are really pulling their hips, and they can't get over it with too much face.

On the night of the 7th, something happened that pleased the Clippers coaching staff.

At 101-112, the Spurs lost to the Warriors, and both teams had a 65-13 record.

Li Ze also came to the spirit at this time, and the schedule was beneficial to the Clippers!

On the night of the 8th, the Clippers flew to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away.

As a result, the ship unexpectedly capsized, and in order to compete for a playoff spot, the Jazz team fighting at home played 8 to 5!

At 99:104, the Jazz managed to win the game.

As soon as Li Ze returned to the locker room, the assistant coach of the Clippers happily announced a good news:

"We still have a chance, 98-102, the Spurs lost to the Nuggets! They will meet the Warriors later, and we have a chance to get home-court advantage! ”

“wow！”

The atmosphere group cheered, there are too many new players in the Clippers this season, and playing at home first is more suitable for the team, and it is also conducive to everyone finding their form.

Li Ze also smiled and clapped his hands, and then encouraged loudly:

"Win the last three games and we'll lock up home advantage! At the end of the regular season, let's have a celebration party! ”

Eating and drinking made the atmosphere group happy, and everyone cheered loudly again, 68 wins, which can be regarded as a historical-level record.

The Spurs lost, Popovich looked very annoyed, the Warriors would not let go of the water, and the two sides had to fight again...

Chris Paul saw the Clippers lose but broke the defense, and the Rockets lost to the Mavericks and Suns.

After the Jazz won, 40-39, the Rockets are already 2 wins behind!

...

On April 13, Kobe Bryant ushered in the last game of his career.

Tickets for the night at Staples Arena skyrocketed, and too many fans wanted to witness the Black Mamba's final game.

The Jazz led all night, but hit back-to-back iron in the final moments.

As Bryant hit a three-point shot, and then hit a pull-up mid-range, the score came to 96:97, and the Lakers completed the overtake.

After Kobe Bryant walked to the free throw line, Staples Arena was completely boiling, hitting two free throws, 96:99, and the Lakers led by three points!

A sweaty Kobe Bryant smiled at the end, enjoying the last game of his career.

22 of 55, 60 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, this is Kobe's unique way of saying goodbye.

At this moment, no one cares about Li Ze's stats, and no one cares about the Warriors' 73 wins tonight.

At the end of the game, at 96:101, at Staples Arena, the Cormies shouted to celebrate the victory!

Kobe Bryant took the microphone with a towel and accepted the cheers of the fans at the scene:

"It's unbelievable, I still can't believe I've made it through 20 careers."

Kobe Bryant took the microphone and laughed, this is definitely the best farewell performance, hearing the cheers from the scene again, and finally Kobe Bryant restrained his smile, stood in the center of the venue, and whispered:

"Thank you to the fans, Mamba Out!"

“...”

That night, the headlines on the front page were all about Kobe Bryant's official retirement, and Komi missed the boss.

Out of respect, America's ball critics didn't discuss the regular season too much that night, but when it came to the next morning, everyone couldn't hold back, and Li Ze's data went to the sky!

On the morning of April 14, the matchups for the Eastern and Western Conference playoffs were officially released.

Eastern Conference The top half of the teams are:

57 wins for the Cavaliers, 56 wins for the Dragons, 48 wins for the Heat, 48 wins for the Hawks;

The teams in the bottom half are:

The Celtics with 48 wins, the Hornets with 48 wins, the Pacers with 45 wins, the Pistons with 44 wins.

A total of 4 teams have a record of 48 wins, and this year's Eastern Conference is more competitive than in previous years!

In the Western Conference, the teams in the top half are:

73 wins for the Warriors, 68 wins for the Clippers, 67 wins for the Spurs, 55 wins for the Thunder;

The teams in the bottom half are:

The Mavericks won 46, the Grizzlies won 44, the Trail Blazers won 43, and the Jazz won 41.

The Jazz fought hard to win the Clippers, and with the relationship between the two sides, they finally kicked the Rockets, who were also 41 wins, out of the playoffs...

Chris Paul, who broke the defense, shut down social media after the regular season, and the chairman of the cannon closed himself, blowing the league's strongest backcourt for a season and missing the playoffs.

Of course, the regular season record is not hot news, and the NBA league can't hold it back, Li Ze's data is in the sky!

Aside from the ancient data, ignore the three years of Wilt-Chamberlain 1961~1963.

In the past 30 years, only Michael Jordan has achieved more than 3,000 points in a single season.

In the 1986~1987 season, Michael Jordan played 82 regular season games, averaging 37.1 points per game, and scored 3041 points in a single season.

This is also the only player in the past 30 years to achieve 3,000 points.

In the 2015~2016 season, Li Ze also played 82 games and scored 3364 points in a single season!

Not only surpassed the record set by Michael Jordan, but even compared with Wilt Chamberlain, it was second only to the 3586 points set by the opponent in the 62~63 season.

And the 406 three-pointers he hit in a single season broke Li Ze's record of 347 three-pointers set last season, the only one in history!

What's even more outrageous is that Li Ze became the first player in history to average 40+ triple-doubles per game and score 180 clubs, and he is also the second player in NBA history to complete an average triple-double per game in a single season after Oscar Robertson.

The NBA's official website has produced a special page for Li Ze and Michael Jordan's 3,000 points, and at the same time, the special page for Li Ze and Oscar Robertson's average triple-doubles per game in a single season has also been launched simultaneously.

After posting 5 tweets in a row, he then posted a poster of Li Ze's breakthrough with the ball on ins:

"In the 15~16 season, he averaged 41.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.8 turnovers per game."

"40+ triple pairs, witness greatness! The only one in history! ”

Fox Sports, ESPN, TNT, and Bleachers (B/R) also released Li Ze's data posters for the first time.

Amerika fans know that Li Ze has been outrageous this season, but looking at these historical records, it is still a little incredulous.

Entering the playoffs, TNT's NBA Playoff naturally has to keep up with the hot spots, in addition to predicting the first round of games, but also following the trend to discuss Li Ze's data.

The host Ernnie Johnson watched the director show Li Ze's data on the big screen, and the three people next to him were a little speechless:

"Played 82 games in the regular season, played an average of 34.2 minutes per game, and averaged 41.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 10.1 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.8 turnovers per game."

"He averaged 24.6 shots per game on 58.6 percent shooting, 9.5 from beyond the three-point line per game, 52.2 percent from three-point range, and 8.2 free throws per game for 95.6 percent from the free-throw line."

Compared with last season, although Li Ze's stats have risen, his shooting percentage has dropped slightly, and everyone knows why, because the Clippers have become a single-core team.

It is easier to be trapped, and the defense is more targeted, but Li Ze's efficiency has decreased slightly, but his score has increased by a cut!

The host, Ernnie Johnson, saw that none of the three spoke, and took the initiative to speak:

"It's hard to believe, but Kayce really hit the historical level!"

"In the latest edition of the MVP rankings, Kayce still occupies the first spot, Stephen Curry is at No. 2, LeBron James is at No. 3, and Kawhi Leonard is at No. 4."

"The Warriors have a 73-win record, do you think Curry has a chance to win the MVP?"

Kenny Smith shook his head when he heard the question, and said in a firm tone:

"Don't forget that the Clippers also have 68 wins, and I'm still a little unbelievable to play with such a record!"

"When you think of the Clippers, who player comes to mind? I have a lot of respect for the performances of his players, but I would say that the Clippers lack real talent in their current roster. ”

"I don't know how many games this team would have won without Kayce, but it's certainly not 68."

Charles Barkley didn't raise the bar at this time, this data is unique in history, what else can be said, can only be touted:

"Kayce has 20 consecutive 40+ games this season and has 23 triple-doubles in a single season, 17 of which are 40+ triple-doubles."

'I've never seen a player play like that, he's so capable of anything on the pitch and if someone calls Kayce a GOAT, I can't find a reason to oppose it.

Host Earney Johnson saw that only O'Neill hadn't spoken yet, and immediately asked out loud:

"Shaq, do you think Kayce can still get the MVP this year?"

O'Neill nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"I'm sure Kayce can get the MVP, but when it comes to the playoffs, the Clippers will have more difficulties."

"The playoffs are the stage for stars, and I stand by my previous view that the Warriors have a chance to make it to the Finals this season."

"Of course, in the first round, the Trail Blazers didn't have any chances, and Lillard deserves respect, but as a single-core team, the gap between him and Kayce is too big."

“...”

The first round of the playoffs, G1, officially kicked off on the evening of April 16, leaving the Clippers with more than three days to prepare.

Amika's sports media wanted to interview Li Ze, but the response was that the team wanted to prepare for the playoffs.

A lot of sports reporters can't wait to rush straight into the Clippers' training ground, what are they going to do? The Trail Blazers are certainly no match, so let's be interviewed!

Li Ze made a bunch of records in the regular season, and after Kobe's hot spot passed, fans and the media were frantically discussing.

This data has broken the circle, as long as you like sports, you have begun to pay attention to Li Ze.

The number of followers on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter began to skyrocket, and not only Amelika's fans liked it, but fans all over the world also preferred the ultimate personal heroism...

Stephen Curry became the biggest loser, hitting 402 three-pointers in a single season, averaging 30.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 3.3 turnovers per game.

He shot 50.4 percent from the field, 45.4 percent from three-point range and 90.8 percent from the free throw line.

The Warriors' reporters tried to help Curry build momentum, but such data failed to attract the attention of ball critics.

"Curry's performance is not even as good as Kayce in previous seasons, the 30-point scoring champion? Let's take a look at the records of the previous two years! ”

The inflated Clippers fans taunted on Reddit that the Warriors could achieve 73 wins, and many Clippers fans were very dissatisfied.

Coach De Nagro took the Clippers to watch the Trail Blazers' game footage in the past two days.

This season, the Trail Blazers are averaging 105.1 points per game, which ranks sixth in the league, and 108.8 points per 100 possessions, which is also sixth in the league.

Defensively, the Trail Blazers ranked 20th in the league with 104.3 points per 100 possessions, and 20th with 108.0 points per 100 possessions.

From a statistical perspective, the Trail Blazers are heavy on offense and light on defense, relying mostly on Lillard and CJ McCollum on offense.

The team's third point was Al Farouk Aminu, who was on the bench and focused on Gerard Henderson.

The tactical style of play is not complicated, relying more on blocking and breaking through the ball, and Li Ze's old teammate Huo Yinsi is the starting center, mainly responsible for covering and opening up the offensive space.

"Defend the long rebound, the opponent relies a lot on three-point shots, and we have more opportunities to switch offense, just like we did in the regular season, squeeze through the screen, and reduce the number of rotations."

The points mentioned by the assistant coach are mainly to take care of Jokic, although the white fat man is not under much pressure in this round of games, there are still problems in preventing small guards from breaking through.

"I'm going to protect the rebound, and I like to play against Hoins."

Jokic hurriedly made a statement, as a shortcoming on the defensive end of the team, he certainly won't take a few screens as a matter of course.

Li Ze did not express his position, he mainly communicated with the new Harris, and he hoped that the team could find form in the first round of games.

"The playoffs are no different from the regular season, and you don't have to be too nervous in the first round against Minu, let go of the attack."

Hearing Li Ze's words, Mengxin Harris nodded, he was mainly sprayed by the fans, his performance was slightly abnormal, and what was waiting for him was a wild spray...

Fortunately, in the second half of the regular season, Li Ze often gave him the opportunity to play singles, which made Harris find the feeling he once had, if he kept pulling his hips, then turn off social media in the playoffs... Too many trolls!

...

On April 15, the NBA League released another set of data:

As of the 15~16 season, Li Ze was 25 years old and 199 days old, and his career total score in the regular season came to 14,086 points;

He surpassed Kobe Bryant's record of 14,000 points in the regular season set at 26 years and 240 days, becoming the third-youngest player in history to score 14,000 points.

In second place is Kevin Durant, who scored 14,000 points at the age of 25 years and 147 days;

At the top of the list is LeBron James, who scored 14,000 points at the age of 25 years and 03 days.

The NBA has officially entered a new era, and the follow-up 10,000-point record will be led by LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Li Ze!

After the release of this data, the happiest is Jamie:

"The youngest scoring record in NBA history is all my Zhan's!"

LeBron James's body is undoubtedly historic, and if Li Ze wants to surpass him, he will have to work hard for at least a few years...

On the night of the 16th, the first round of G1 officially started, and there were 4 games that night, and the teams in the upper half of the region, except for the Menglong team who pulled their hips and lost to the Pacers 100:90, the other teams all held their home courts.

101:102, Celtics lose to Hawks;

78:104, the Warriors easily beat the Jazz;

70:108, Thunder beat Mavericks!

The Mavericks lost by 38 points, setting the second-worst playoff record in team history, and 38 points also became the third-largest winning point in NBA playoff history...

The match was highly watched at TNT and the fans were very interested in everything recorded.

As soon as the game ended, Mavericks fans who broke the big defense were ridiculed again, and champion center Jordan Jr. made 4 of 10 shots and scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 turnovers.

"That's the 20 million champion center?"

“...”

On April 17, there were four games on the day, and fans had their eyes on the Cavaliers and Clippers.

What kind of performance will Li Ze, who is completely a big three and a single core, play, everyone is looking forward to it!

It was still 22:30 kick-off that night, and although the game was late, the Staples Arena was packed.

Tickets for the playoffs sold out early, and enthusiastic Clippers fans couldn't wait to see Li Ze perform.

The Trail Blazers?

Li Ze's warm-up tool for the playoffs!

Li Ze walked into the stadium and was slapped by the camera all the way, and when he warmed up, there were also a bunch of reporters around him.

When it was time for free interviews in the pre-game locker room, Amerika's sports media surrounded Li Zeli on the third and outer three floors...

Many people are still obsessed with the data of 40+ triple-doubles, and the reporter of TNT asked directly:

"Kayce, will you keep your regular-season stats in the playoffs?"

Noticing that all the media were concerned about this issue, Li Ze, who had already changed into his team uniform, shrugged his shoulders and said in a brisk tone:

"Data is all about victory! A lot of the time, it's up to the opponent to play and I can only guarantee that I'll give my all in every game in the playoffs! ”

The reporter in the open-air stand hurriedly asked at this time:

"Kayce, what do you think of Damion Lillard?"

This question has been answered many times, and at this time Li Ze still insists on his own point of view:

"Lillard is a respectable opponent and I know the Trail Blazers are going to have a big hard time this season and he can definitely be an All-Star."

"I'm really looking forward to playing against him in the series!"

“...”

Lillard doesn't like to play against Li Ze at all, and the Trail Blazers have been losing more and winning less over the years.

In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans entered a furious state after the game began, and Li Ze cheered every time he touched the ball, and even the defense could cause the fans to shout.

With 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the opening game, the Trail Blazers scored zero goals, starting forwards Morris Hackles and Aminu were completely limited, and center Hoeins threw a three-pointer and hit an iron.

CJ McCollum wanted to share the offensive pressure on Lillard, but Reggie Bullock was stubborn around him.

Coach De Nagro is really unimpersonal, and tonight's starting line-up was Lee Ze, Reggie Bullock, Ingles, Tobias Harris, and Jokic.

The veteran Barnes, who has a declining speed in lateral movement, failed to get a chance to start, and the outside four are all about 2 meters tall, and the shortest is Reggie Bullock at 1.98 meters.

“defense！ defense！ defense！ ”

Lillard, who had the ball in his left hand, had just dribbled past halfcourt when Hoeins immediately moved to the top of the arc for a high pick-and-roll.

The defensive shouts from the fans gave the Clippers players on the court extra momentum, and there weren't many opportunities for anyone other than Lee to start compared to last season.

Jokic just stepped on the three-point line and was ready to slide back, Lillard was fast, and he needed to be prepared in advance.

In a small amplitude and out, Lillard, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly changed direction in front of him, switched to his right hand and went to the right side to break through.

Hoeins' blocking was squeezed by Li Ze agilely, Lillard, who was half a body ahead, was just about to accelerate, Jokic slid to the left back, and at the same time raised his hands high, and Li Ze, who was chasing after the defense, gave a physical confrontation and cut the ball with his left hand.

For a moment, Lillard couldn't see the situation on the left side at all, and was almost forced to stop the ball after slowing down.

Hoines hurriedly went down, took away Jokic's defense, opened up the offensive space, and Aminu in the bottom right corner hurriedly stepped forward to respond, but was entangled by Harris to stay away from the three-point line.

Lillard, who couldn't turn around, hurriedly threw the ball to Amino, and then opened his hand again to ask for the ball, trying to reorganize the offense.

Under the tight defense, Aminu returned the ball too high, Lillard subconsciously made a release action after receiving the ball, and at the moment when the ball was exposed, Li Ze suddenly stepped forward to grab and cut the ball off with his left hand.

"Ahh

Lillard screamed, but the ball was stabbed by Li Ze and completely out of the opponent's control.

The referee did not blow the whistle, Li Ze immediately accelerated, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and rushed with all his might.

was hit by Li Ze's copy of the ball and stumbled, Lillard desperately returned to defense, but saw that Li Ze had just taken a step past the free throw line and took off directly...

Rounded the ball in the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and Li Ze easily completed the windmill storm!

“wow！”

Li Ze, who finished dunking, yelled at the camera under the basket, and then waved his arms to signal that the atmosphere at the scene was more high.

The Clippers fans cheered loudly, and the Clippers handed out white cheering T-shirts at home tonight, and the scene turned into a sea of white for a while.

Li Ze is more satisfied with the atmosphere at home this year, and there are a lot fewer fans, so he is also happy to interact with the fans in the front row.

Seeing Lillard return to the baseline to catch the ball, Li Ze immediately smiled and retreated.

The score came to 0:8, and the Clippers opened with a wave of 8:0 mini-climax.

The Stowe coach on the sidelines was a little hesitant, but ultimately did not call for a timeout.

Lillard, who had learned his lesson, stopped holding the ball after half-time, gave the ball to Aminu at the top of the arc as soon as possible, and then ran quickly to the right wing.

CJ McCollum on the left wing immediately moved laterally, and after passing the ball with his hand, he accelerated with the ball in his right hand in the face of Harris, who came up from the switch.

Cutting into the top of the arc, dribbling to the right elbow of the free throw line in two big steps, CJ McCollum suddenly made a sharp stop, dribbled under the crotch, briefly got rid of the defense, and finally blocked Harris and made a strong shot from the middle distance!

"Huh!" The two-point ball hollows into the net.

Seeing that the team finally scored, the atmosphere group of the Trail Blazers finally began to cheer, and after the opening, the Clippers' defensive intensity was too great, and many newcomers felt uncomfortable.

“lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ lets go clippers！ ”

In the cheering of the fans, the baseline ball was quickly issued, and after Li Ze dribbled through the half, Hackles was immediately in front of Li Ze.

As a forward on the outside of the Trail Blazers, he was responsible for marking Li Ze during the regular season, but the effect was very average.

The height and size are matched, but the explosiveness of the two is very different, and it is still Harris and Jokic who stand in the left and right elbow areas to clear the interior of the Trail Blazers.

Noticing that Li Ze seemed to break through with his right hand, and Jokic in the right elbow area moved up, Hackles immediately chose to stick to the defense, ready to squeeze past the screen.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity when he was close to the three-point line, quickly in and out, swayed left and right, and broke through in sheep's suit.

Taking advantage of Hackles' sliding step to the left back, Li Ze changed direction under his crotch after completing the shaking, and easily got rid of the defense with the help of Jokic with the help of Jokic in his left hand.

Harris in the left elbow area also reacted quickly, and bounced to the left wing outside the three-point line for the first time, and Aminu did not follow the defense, but chose to help defend Li Ze at the free throw line.

Hoyins raised his hands and delayed, Aminu assisted, and the two tried to block Li Ze at the free throw line.

The overly obvious defensive intention allowed Li Ze to pass the ball calmly, and without waiting for the two to form a bag, after completing the breakthrough, he dribbled and distributed the ball to Harris who was on the outside.

As soon as the latter came to the three-point line, the ball just fell into his hand, and Harris didn't need to adjust, and he easily jumped after receiving the ball!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

After the goal, Harris patted his chest excitedly, a three-point in the left corner, a three-point on the left wing, and scored six points in a row in the opening game, which is absolutely wonderful for a playoff rookie?

?? Bureau!

The fans were cheering loudly, and the continuous three-pointers and dunks made everyone more and more excited.

Coach Stotts on the sidelines quickly asked for a timeout, helplessly watching Li Ze and Harris high-five celebrations, and couldn't complain in his heart:

"It's strong and fast, and it's bigger! How is this game played? ”
