Chapter 398: Basketball Has Become a Person's? (10,000-word chapter)

How to use star players efficiently is also a science in the NBA league.

Superstars are not robots, and in a game, the state will fluctuate, and the reason why the head coaches of other teams in the league envy De Nagro is mainly because Li Ze is too stable.

Not only is the offensive end stable, but the defensive end is also terrifyingly stable, all the head coach has to do is give the ball to Li Ze, and most of the remaining time can be managed.

In the Western Conference Finals G3, Steve Kerr had a lemon in his heart, and his tactics ran a big circle, which was not as efficient as the Clippers' simple and crude "V" attack, and the frequent blocking and dismantling were efficient.

Yongsan didn't play out, but was beaten by the Clippers, of course, if you look at it from the perspective of shooting percentage, the players actually played very well.

At 86:97, in the final decisive moment, 2 minutes and 32 seconds were played in the fourth quarter, Kelai reappeared, and the Warriors' five-small lineup returned.

Steve Kerr doesn't want to be the main force either, but in such a crucial game, the coaching staff naturally has fantasies, and the probability of star players is still much greater than that of role players...

Curry rested for more than 2 minutes in the middle of the third quarter, Klay also breathed a sigh of relief at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Li Ze was still full of energy, and so far in the second half, he has not rested for a minute...

The Warriors coaching staff has experienced the powerlessness of the Heat and Spurs in previous years, and Steve Kerr would tease the opponent on the commentary bench at the beginning, but the feng shui takes turns, and now it is his turn to have a big head.

The Clippers retained Tucker and got back the starting lineup, and the iron Reggie Bullock could only sit on the bench, and the physical Tucker came on very well.

Curry hit a three-pointer early in the fourth quarter, followed by another hit...

After the right wing of the attack went into Green's cover, Curry simply accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

If you switch to the defense of other teams, it is likely to be an inside defense, and cooperate with outside players to package Curry;

And the Clippers' Jokic directly gave way and followed Green to the line, guarding against Curry's passes.

Curry's breakthrough speed was extremely fast, half a body ahead of Li Ze, who was chasing defense, but the disadvantage in body made Curry unable to shoot confidently.

Feeling the defensive pressure on his side, he failed to throw a shot and did not choose a backhand layup, Curry had no choice but to go around the inside, and finally held the ball in his right hand and came to the left wing outside the three-point line.

“defense! defense! defense! ”

The Clippers fans at the scene saw that Li Ze was like a big bad wolf chasing a white rabbit, and he defended Curry from the three-point line, and the defensive cheers became more energetic.

Once he came to the three-point line, Li Ze also began to lower the center of gravity of the defense and continued to move to the defense.

Li Ze suddenly cut the ball with his left hand, Curry hurriedly circled the ball behind his back, and wanted to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, but was blocked by Li Ze's sliding step.

After the crotch changed to the back, Curry lowered his center of gravity and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, pulled back under the crotch again close to the three-point line, and then dribbled the ball under the crotch very fast on the spot, and quickly retreated after blasting the ball vigorously with his right hand.

A set of silky combos, Curry was ready to jump shot, but was blocked by Li Ze again, and he couldn't see the basket for a while, so he simply threw it forcibly by feeling...

After the shot, it felt a little crooked, and Curry didn't have time to remind his teammates to grab the rebound, and the ball smashed into the back edge of the basket and bounced directly into Jokic's hands.

"Shet..."

Feeling that Li Ze on his side began to speed up, Curry cursed in his heart.

Jokic threw the ball directly and vigorously to the frontcourt, and after Li Ze received the ball, Curry hurriedly stepped forward to interfere.

Curry was crushed all the way, rushed to the paint area and was completely carried away, watching Li Ze grab the ball with his left hand and smash the ball into the basket!

"Oh!

In the Stapleton Arena, Clippers fans cheered loudly, seeing Curry's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and some fun fans who were doing things kept shouting:

"A softie who can only throw three-point shots, you will never get the MVP!"

“...”

Even if the relationship between the two is good, Curry is also on fire at this time, but seeing Li Ze's strong figure, he can only smash the ball angrily...

"It's not a good offensive option, and Curry might try to get to the free-throw line and miss a three-pointer and the Clippers have a chance to complete the transition offense."

Reggie Miller noticed that Curry was already 1 of 4, and reluctantly commented on two sentences, but Chris Webber could understand Curry's mood and immediately added:

"Don't forget that Stephen Curry is also a star player who has led the Warriors to 73 wins this season, and he wants to prove himself in this game."

At 86:99, the score difference came to 13 points again!

The Warriors certainly won't give up on the game and continue to pick up the offensive tempo under Curry's leadership.

Harrison Barnes had quite a few opportunities on the outside at this point.

Due to 2 of 8 in the first three quarters of the game and 0 of 3 outside the three-point line, in the case of leading by double digits, Harris on the opposite side simply shrank into the three-point line, prevented sudden shots, and let Harris try his hand...

Again, the up-and-line double-screen tactic, with Curry with the ball in his right hand taking advantage of the cover of Green and Harrison Barnes to get to the right wing.

Noticing that Harris was back in a defensive position and seemed to want to shrink the defense, Curry immediately accelerated with the ball in his right hand, broke through at 45 degrees, compressed the Clippers' defensive line, and then quickly threw the ball in the blocking position.

Harrison Barnes received a pass from the top of the arc to the right, and Harris controlled the center of gravity of the defense and only raised his right hand to interfere.

Putting a shot to defend the break, Harrison Barnes no longer hesitated, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

"Bang!"

The rebound popped up, Li Ze retracted to the paint area for the first time to receive the rebound, and the Warriors' 5-out lineup made the Clippers' backcourt rebounding pressure plummet.

Frustration filled the hearts of the Warriors players, and the difference in points was not big, and it was very uncomfortable for everyone.

If the three-point shot is opened, it may be a matter of a few rounds, but if it can't be shot, Li Ze will score, and under this pressure, the Warriors atmosphere group has long run out of power on the sidelines.

The reason Curry doesn't get as many MVP votes is because his performance doesn't fit the aesthetics of the league's current sports media.

At the moment when the team needs to chase points, Li Ze can output with all his strength at both offensive and defensive ends, and can even shout directly:

"I'm going to defend the best offensive player against the other side!"

And when it comes to Curry, the painting style becomes Big Brother to help me...

Although the two are in different positions, the boring media doesn't care about these, everyone just likes to play offense and defense.

Big brother Yin Godala is naturally responsible for leading and defending Li Ze, and Yin Godala is a little inefficient on the offensive end of this game, a large part of the reason is that the defensive end has invested a lot of energy.

On the left flank, seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand and suddenly raising the center of gravity of his body, Yin Godala was immediately ready to slide to the right back, and sure enough, in the next second, Li Ze lowered his center of gravity to crush and break through.

Just two steps past the three-point line, Li Ze, who was moving, immediately changed direction under his crotch, and then held the ball in his right hand and squeezed it strongly.

Green, who was at the top of the arc, could see that Yoshidala was out of position defensively, let go of Jokic again, and immediately shrunk the bag.

Approaching the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, Li Ze noticed Green's defensive movements, immediately turned sharply with the ball in his right hand, and after catching the ball with his left hand, Li Ze pressed his shoulder and continued to crush the breakthrough.

As if guessing that Li Ze would not be able to pass the ball, Green simply accelerated directly and went straight to the basket.

At the bottom left of the basket, Yin Godala was still dead on Li Ze's side, and after seeing Li Ze jumping, he grabbed the ball with his left hand, trying to take advantage of the situation to complete it, and Green, who caught up behind, jumped up and blocked.

The front top and back cover, the two-man defense made the Clippers fans on the scene subconsciously let out an exclamation.

After the aerial confrontation, Li Ze stayed in the air for a short time, and finally tilted his body, pulled his arm back, and after Green hit his shoulder and began to fall, Li Ze threw the ball to the rebound with one hand with his left hand!

"Squeak!"

"Bang... Swish! ”

The whistle blew and the ball went in, and the three fell to the floor, and the Staples Arena immediately erupted in loud cheers.

“oh——my——goodness!”

“kayce——li! he got it! ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan shouted excitedly, with two people hanging on his body, this can also enter?

Seeing Li Ze being pulled up by everyone on the Clippers, Yin Gedala, who was still lying on the floor, opened his mouth wide, and everyone was stupid.

In his opinion, Li Ze was just a blind chicken throwing, but he was able to score a goal, and the veteran completely broke the defense.

Draymond Green's eyes were straight as he looked at Li Ze who was walking to the free throw line, last year Paul was there, Li Ze's offense was not so strong, and this year he has already made him doubt his life.

“mvp! mvp! mvp! ”

MVP cheers rang out at Staples Arena, and Stephen Curry from beyond the three-point line had a lemon in his heart, which was eye-catching.

Li Ze, who was standing at the free throw line, smiled, took a deep breath, and then scored the ball steadily.

At 86:102, halfway through the fourth quarter, the Clippers extended the margin to 16 points.

Steve Kerr didn't make lineup adjustments, watching Curry hit the iron again and again, and finally just hugged his arms and stopped talking.

Camee rarely received the ball in the fourth quarter, and the first half's air cuts and back-to-back singles mid-range were gone, but Harrison Barnes made a few more shots from the outside.

Seeing the Warriors lean on Yoo Gedala and Green to score slowly at the end, commentator Kevin Harlan knew that the game was completely over:

"At the end of this game, I think the Warriors should make a timely adjustment, they can try more of the mid-range and less three-point shooting."

"The Clippers have done a really good job of controlling the rebounding ball in the backcourt, and Curry should be playing a little bit more aggressively."

Reggie Miller also began to sum up the game simply:

"Jokic is really underrated, and although he is still a little young in handling the ball, he can do the task that the team has assigned him at the moment."

"Of course, the most important thing is that Kayce's play is so consistent that in the fourth quarter, he can still score efficiently."

Chris Webb also exclaimed:

"Basketball seems to have become a one-man game, and the Clippers should be breaking the all-time record for Kayce!"

On the field, Li Ze's scoring continued, falling into the positional attack, handing over the ball at the first time, and then turning his back to the ball in the right blocking area.

Ingles came to the right flank and sent in a half-high pass, which Kelai followed to save on Li Ze.

Completed the card position, firmly stuck Yin Gedala behind him, the right blocking area, close to the position of the paint area, Li Ze immediately turned to the bottom line the moment he received the pass, ignoring the two of them's defense, and forced a backward jump shot!

The ball almost brushed the tips of Kelai's fingers, drawing a slightly larger arc and finally falling into the basket.

Kelai waved his fist in annoyance, he found that Li Ze was getting deeper and deeper in the fourth quarter, and he wanted to explain Yin Gedala a few more words, but seeing that Big Brother was still panting, he could only be speechless in the end.

The happiest person on the scene was Steve Ballmer, the old man stood up and cheered with the Clippers fans on the scene, winning this game, and the Clippers took another step towards the Finals.

Warriors owner Lacob and general manager Myers, who were watching the game in the box, were speechless.

Last year's defeat was a loss to a super team, and if this year's 73-win team could not win the championship, it would only mean that there was a problem with the team's squad.

Just like the Hawks, they had an excellent regular season record and everyone worked hard, but in the playoffs, they directly pulled their hips when they met the Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

"We need a real superstar, a superstar who can score whatever defense he wants!"

Curry was brilliant, but Lacob looked at the struggling Warriors and finally came to a conclusion with a blank face.

The Clippers' 73-win win became a medal for the dynastic team, and if the Warriors won 73 and failed to make it out of the West, it would surely become a joke.

General manager Miles is under a lot of pressure, recruiting players is his job, and the boss has spoken, so he naturally has to nod his head:

"Whether we win the championship this season or not, we will strengthen the squad in the offseason!"

The Warriors' market is very good, the benefits that the championship can bring are visible to the naked eye, and if they can win the championship, they can at least sign a large broadcast contract!

Whether it's for basketball reasons or because of the American knife, Lacob wants the team to win the championship.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the referee stopped blowing the whistle, and Green's loud complaints didn't help, and tonight, no one wanted to work overtime.

With 1 minute 08 seconds left in the game, Norman Powell replaced Li Ze, Meng Xin ran to the court with an excited face, and he also showed his face in the Western Conference Finals!

"22-of-32, 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, 58 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, I'm not surprised at all."

Commentator Kevin Harlan has been completely numb when he sees such data, and Li Ze has devalued the 50+ data.

"I'm shocked if Kayce doesn't get that kind of score, that's what a superstar is capable of, always responding when the team needs to score."

Reggie Miller turned on Li Ze's blowing mode again, and the good words of not wanting money came out one by one, and Chris Webb also laughed and teased:

"I don't think Kayce needs Durant anymore, and the league doesn't have to worry about the two joining forces!"

Steve Kerr hugged Curry and Kerrai on the court, everyone did their best tonight, but the opponent was really outrageous...

With 11-of-20 shooting, 6-of-11 from beyond the three-point line and 9-of-9 from the free-throw line, Klee scored a team-high 37 points despite being invisible in the fourth quarter;

Curry was 8-of-21, 5-of-15 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and took a lot of shots in the final quarter, but did not lead the team to victory, with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 turnovers, and his performance was decent.

The final buzz sounded, the Clippers fans cheered loudly, 96:115, the Clippers who were playing at home went to the next city, and the series score came to 2:1.

Craig Sager, who wore a blue and white plaid suit again, stood on the sidelines smiling after the game, waiting for Li Ze's arrival.

"Congratulations, it's great to see you on the media team for this year's finals, ESPN has done a great job!"

Li Ze stepped forward to hug and greet the senior reporter, his condition deteriorated, and it was not easy for him to be able to interview with illness.

Craig Saag looked very happy, winked at Li Ze and asked:

"I hope to see you in the Finals, Kayce, how does it feel to score 50+ again in the Western Conference Finals?"

Facing the camera, Li Ze shrugged his shoulders, and then replied in a brisk tone:

"The 50+ that wins is no different from the 20+, and the data should serve the victory."

“...”

Draymond Green was 3-of-9 tonight, with 8 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, and the taunts of the fans made the big mouth powerless to fight back and could only vent his anger at the wall of the players' tunnel.

Fortunately, the Staples Arena walls were of good quality and he was not kicked out of a hole, and Green looked at the Clippers staff looking at him teasingly, and finally had to walk back to the locker room angrily.

Steve Cole saw that the players had returned to their seats, and finally clapped his hands and handed out thick chicken soup:

"Don't forget how we won the Western Conference semifinals, the series has just begun!"

"Listen, we don't have time to be frustrated, the day after tomorrow, we have to give it our all!"

Curry, who was covered with a towel, kept high-fives, and Yin Gedala led the atmosphere team to shout a slogan, and finally resolved the emotion of defeat.

Kelai didn't say anything, he knew Li Ze, and he knew the monster-like physical condition even better:

"Maybe we're missing a super scorer."

“...”

The rest of the Eastern Conference Finals is very tight, leaving the Warriors with only about 1 day to adjust.

In this year's playoffs, Amerika's sports media swarmed Li Ze, and it was a bit outrageous for the Clippers to play 68 wins with such a lineup, and the playoffs had 50+ games, which simply broke people's perception of superstars.

The NBA league can't blow it, a 50+, everyone is still hotly discussed, several times in a row, everyone is numb.

Even Kip Bayless, who specializes in rubbing Li Ze's traffic, followed suit, but this one is really outrageous...

On ESPN's First Take, Kip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith have similar views:

“kayce-li! Having surpassed Michael Jordan in all aspects, whether he wins the championship this year or not, I think he's become a GOAT. ”

"No star in history has consistently scored 50+ in the playoffs, and neither can Michael Jordan, Kayce is the best scorer of all time!"

Kip Bayless was in a state of big honey, blowing the two people next to him stunned, and in the end, Stephen A. Smith couldn't listen to it:

"Wait, if I'm not mistaken, Michael Jordan has won 6 championships and 6 FMVP trophies!"

"Kayce is strong, but in terms of achievements, Michael Jordan is still in a unique class."

Kip Bayless didn't care when he heard the rebuttal, and replied confidently again:

"Don't forget that the Clippers have a huge salary space in the offseason, Kevin Durant will be Kayce's Pippen, and the two together is definitely a win-win, and they will rule for the next 10 years."

“...”

Durant, who is at home in the city, frowned when he saw ESPN's show, he didn't want to hear such remarks, he was an MVP with two championships!

Agent Kleman has been a little worried recently, and the Thunder still haven't given up on renewing Durant's contract, and their next home options are also very limited.

Joining the Celtics is a good choice, but unfortunately the big employers don't like Boston, and joining the Clippers is ideal, but Durant doesn't want to be the second.

Kleeman feels that his employer is not confident to suppress Li Ze, who is currently in a state where he would rather not have an FMVP champion...

"Are the Thunder still insisting on Donovan coaching next season? What kind of reinforcement plans do they have in place this offseason? ”

Losing the core position made Durant very dissatisfied.

In addition, due to the selection rules of the best team this season, he fell to the best second team, Durant completely lost patience, and he didn't want to grow up with Meng Xin.

"Believe in the process" is the slogan of the 76ers, and what Durant wants to do right now is to win the championship and win the FMVP.

"Kevin, you should understand the position of the head coach in the team, and as for the reinforcements in the offseason, the Thunder also have a first-round pick this year."

Kleman's words made Durant's mood not beautiful again, and when he thought of Li Ze's status in the Clippers, he always felt that his status as a superstar was almost meaningless.

Even LeBron James can meddle in the team's operations, and Durant wants to try his hand at being a general manager.

Seeing that the big employer was depressed again, Kleman finally carefully proposed:

"Kevin, I just got a call from Warriors general manager Myers this morning, and they extended an invitation to you as well."

The fluttering Durant was lying on the sofa enjoying the pleasure brought by tobacco, and when he heard the agent's words, he first pondered for a while, and then suddenly sighed:

"It's a tough road!"

The corner of the agent's Kleman's mouth twitched, and he felt that the big employer's understanding of "difficult" was somewhat wrong.

On the evening of the 24th, the Eastern Conference Finals also ushered in the crucial G4, which was almost an unloseable game for the Menglong team.

The Cavaliers continued to throw three-pointers, shooting 13-of-41 from the field that night, shooting only 31.7% from three-point range.

At 99:105, the Menglong team once again pulled back a city, and the two sides will fight the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Tyronn Lue got a pass from Coach De Nagro and LeBron James played 46 minutes that night.

With 11 of 16 points and an efficient 29 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover, LeBron James' performance was impeccable.

Irving was 11-of-21 and also scored 26 points, but Love was 4-of-14 from the field and J.R. Smith was 3-of-12.

The Menglong fans who won the game were excited, and the "garbage brothers" woke up!

Lowry scored 35 points on 14-of-20 shooting and 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, and DeRozan scored 32 points on 14-of-23 shooting.

In an interview with ESPN after the game, Lowry, who was in a good mood, made a promise to Canadian fans:

"We will win the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and this year we will win the first championship in team history for the Menglong team!"

“...”

On the morning of the 25th, Amerika's ball critics followed the trend and began to discuss whether a large number of three-pointers could win the championship.

The Warriors shot just 33.3 percent from 42 from beyond the G3 three-point line, and a lot of three-pointers allowed the Clippers to play a lot of transition offense.

In contrast, the Clippers shot 10-of-24 from beyond the three-point line, shooting more than 4 percent, and their projection was more reasonable, basically in line with their regular season performance.

In the NBA show, Charles Barkley once again performed a face-changing stunt, selectively forgetting about his support for the Warriors:

"Jumpers can't win a championship, and if the Warriors continue to indulge in outside shots, they won't have a chance to win tonight!"

Kenny Smith looked at the playoff stats and began to illustrate them with examples:

"In the first two rounds, the Warriors had to shoot around 32 three-pointers per game, and that's their style of play, and I don't think there's anything wrong with the Warriors' shot selection."

O'Neal also entered a state of selective oblivion, and also followed the Warriors:

"That's the downside of the jump shots, look at how much of Kayce's 58 points are easy points! They should hit the ball to the basket more! ”

Instead of commenting on the Warriors' offensive options, host Ernnie Johnson revealed another set of interesting stats:

"The Clippers only had three turnovers in the second half of G3 compared to the Warriors' eight, and I think fitness is the key to winning or losing the series."

When Charles Barkley heard this, he immediately shook his head and disagreed:

"NBA players, physical fitness is fine, the key is the quality of the player's will, and the level of desire to win, in this regard, Stephen Curry is not good enough!"

“...”

Amerika's ball critics are best at double standards, losing is all wrong, Curry, as the leader of the Warriors, lost a game and was once again ridiculed in all directions:

"If it is Kobe Bryant, even if he continues to play iron, the Black Mamba will still continue to shoot, and Curry will not be able to show his killer nature like Kobe..."

On the night of the 25th, Curry really didn't output as wildly as Kobe, and the Warriors didn't control their three-point shots.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Warriors won very easily.

At 110:98, the Warriors successfully won the away game and stubbornly tied the series to 2:2.

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain will return to Oracle Arena, and the Warriors have managed to regain the initiative.

Draymond Green, who won the game, looked very excited, and just after the game ended, he beat his chest and shouted:

“this is my time!”

Playing 40 minutes, 11-of-20 from the field, 5-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, Green scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 turnover.

Stephen Curry also threw his fists in excitement, and even though he wasn't the team's best player, they really couldn't afford to lose this game, and no one wanted to see the Clippers get a match point.

On the commentary bench of ESPN, Mark Jackson nodded with satisfaction.

This is the Warriors, who shot 15-of-33 from beyond the three-point line, shooting 45.5% from three-point range, and this kind of performance is in line with his expectations.

"Curry scored 26 points on 8-of-20 shooting, 4-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, and Culry scored 24 points on 8-of-18 shooting, including 4-of-8 three-pointers."

"It's great to see them stick to their style of play and I'm sure the Warriors have found the feeling to win!"

Seeing that his old partner was in a good mood, Jeff Van Gundy also added:

"It's a shame that the Clippers couldn't get the match point, and Kayce's performance is still impeccable."

"19-of-30, 4-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, and once again cut down 50 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, but basketball is 5 people, and hopefully the rest of the Clippers can adjust to their condition."

Commentator Mike Brin also joked at this time:

"Is basketball for 5 people? I'm already looking forward to Kayce's performance in the Battle of Mt. Tenno! ”

“...”

Li Ze returned to the locker room after completing the interview, and saw that his teammates were a little lost, and said in a relaxed tone:

'It's also a good thing that there are fluctuations in form, and if you look at the performance of the big data, our shooting percentage will definitely go up in the next game.

"Don't underestimate any opponent, not to mention that the Warriors have a 73-win record this season, and we know better than anyone how hard it can be."

"Go home at night and rest early, forget about this defeat, we have already done it to win away from home, and the victory the day after tomorrow is ours!"

Harris completely pulled his hip tonight, as the Clippers' No. 2 scorer, 3 of 15, and 10 points in anger, which did not match the salary, and took the initiative to take the blame after the game:

"This game is my problem, I'll put the damn ball in the basket later!"

The Clippers' three-point shooting tonight was normal, 8-of-24, and in addition to Harris's performance of pulling his hips, Jokic was effectively punished by Green at the three-point line was the main reason.

After playing three games, Green finally ate dumplings, and the white fat man failed to prevent the three-point shot, and was finally combined by the opponent's sudden shot, which was completely blown up.

As the two highest-paid people on the team, Li Ze and Harris will not let Jokic take the blame.

The white fat man was 3 of 8 tonight, got 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 3 turnovers, and did not lose the basic handicap.

"Just like the coaching staff arranged, we will continue to adhere to this defensive strategy in the future, and change defenses faster."

"Nikolai, it's not your problem to lose, not to mention that there are three more games in the series, and in the next games, it's good to put on a strong performance."

The post-game split can reduce the psychological burden on role players, and Coach De Nagro has always been concerned about the internal situation in the locker room, so Li Ze has to be concerned about this matter.

Fortunately, although the Clippers have many new players, the veterans who have experienced three consecutive championships are also there, and although it is a pity that they failed to get the match point, everyone knows that the next G5 is the most important.

Kevon Looney watched enviously as Jokic and Plumlee discussed the issue of pick-and-roll with the assistant coach, and his heart immediately cleared the lemon.

This is the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Western Conference Finals, and he wants to contribute his strength to such a big scene.

Connaughton and Norman Powell can only watch, and it is really too difficult for the Water Cooler Guardian to play.

Li Ze saw his teammates who had regained their vitality, and nodded with satisfaction in his heart:

"Although the fault tolerance rate is a little lower, it is not a big problem! The battle of Tianwang Mountain is over! ”

...

On the morning of the 26th, Amerika's fans were still discussing Li Ze's data, according to the current trend, Li Ze has a chance to achieve an average of 50+ achievements per game in the Western Conference Finals.

This is definitely an outrageous achievement, a proper historical one! Most fans are good at this, and the more Li Ze scores, the more excited the fans become...

And for Cavaliers fans, everyone is more concerned about tonight's battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The NBA league was very pleased with this year's divisional finals, with ratings surpassing last year's, and apparently, viewers also preferred the evenly matched series.

Menglong fans were expecting their backcourt double guns to play another outstanding performance, but at the end of the first quarter of the game that night, many fans broke the defense again.

At 19:37, the Cavaliers led by 18 points in the first quarter.

With the Menglong team scoring 15 points in the second quarter, the battle of Tianwang Mountain completely lost its suspense.

In the end, 78:116, the Cavaliers who returned to their home court defeated the Menglong team, easily got the match point, and stood on the floor of the finals with half a foot.

Lefou, who was pulled across in G4, rebounded strongly, playing 24 minutes, 8-of-10, 3-of-4 from beyond the three-point line, and 6-of-6 from the free throw line, scoring a game-high 25 points!

LeBron James played 32 minutes, scored 23 points on 10-of-17 shooting, and Irving, who also scored 23 points on 9-of-17, the trio completely dominated the game.

In the key game, the backcourt double-gun turned on the "garbage brothers" mode again, Lowry and DeRozan scored 28 points together, and many Menglong fans were stupid...

Coupled with the team's 3-of-17 three-point shots, many ball critics feel that the Menglong team is out!

LeBron James felt that the O'Brien Cup was beckoning to him again, and in an interview after the game, he once again confidently stated:

"We're going to take our chances and get to the Finals, we're in great shape right now, and I'm sure God will see our efforts and the Cavaliers will break the spell and win the championship!"

In the arena of the Quick Loan Center, the Cavaliers fans were already in high spirits, and they did not leave the game after the game for a long time, and they continued to cheer and shout.

Entering the finals again, everyone believes that the Cavaliers will win the championship!

...

With the Cavaliers winning the Battle of Kings Mountain, Ameika's sports media began to discuss the Finals matchup.

Li Ze's 50+ performance made everyone aware of the strength of the Clippers.

As long as Harris can contribute 16 points, the Clippers have a good chance of winning the game.

Although many ball critics are in disbelief, this did happen, and Li Ze's appearance seems to break the inherent concept of basketball:

"Basketball is actually for one person?"

At the pre-match press conference, Steve Kerr turned on Li Ze's blowing mode, crazy poisonous milk:

"Kayce is the strongest of the active players, there is no one! The Warriors also have to learn from the defending champions. ”

"In the first four games, we ran out of defensive styles, but Kayce just scored efficiently, and now I can only hope that God bless the Warriors!"

In contrast, Coach De Nagro has a serious expression, answers questions concisely and to the point, and most importantly he has absolute self-confidence, and Li Ze will always step up when it matters most.

The atmosphere at Oracle Arena was particularly hot tonight, and Curry's family also came to cheer on the scene.

Back at home, the Warriors' confidence is back! After the opening, everyone worked bravely and continued to score points.

“arriors!”

Curry dribbled across the halfcourt, and under the pursuit of Li Ze, he quickly gave the ball to Green at the top of the arc again.

Cutting in without the ball and failing to find an opportunity, Li Ze defended too tightly, noticing that Jokic followed the defense to the line, Green immediately moved sideways to the left wing with the ball in his left hand.

Yoondala, who started tonight, began to accelerate in the bottom left corner and immediately completed a hand-to-hand pass with Green when he came to the line.

Ingalls squeezed half a beat slower, and Jokic simply slid to the left to block Yondala's breakthrough lane as soon as possible.

The more crucial the game, the more the role of the veteran can be revealed, Yin Gedala did not deal the cards at the top of the arc again, and immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand after completing the hand-to-hand hand.

Yondalla lowered his weight of gravity, came to the free throw line and suddenly made a sharp stop, completed the dribble behind his back, and then ignored Jokic's defense, shook off the defense and quickly made a mid-range jump shot!

"Huh!" Two-point goal is steady!

Even the short-stop mid-range that they are not good at, the Warriors were in explosive form tonight, and the whole team worked together to show their determination to win.

Taking advantage of the baseline serve, Li Ze also gestured and signaled his teammates to stabilize, in the Oracle Arena, it was already completely boiling at this time, and the fans shouted:

“defense! defense! defense! ”

After Jokic finished serving, he trotted all the way and simply ran straight to the Warriors' three-second zone.

On the right wing, without waiting for Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, to approach the three-point line, Yin Gedala immediately stepped forward to interfere with the defense.

In the face of Yin Gedala's close defense, Li Ze did not make too many shaking, kept accelerating against the defense, and when he was close to the three-point line, he held the ball in his right hand and dribbled back with a large cross-step step.

Noticing that Yin Gedala's defense went straight to his left hand, Li Ze, who was close to the three-point line, paused slightly, and then continued to dribble under his crotch.

Successfully mobilizing the opponent's defense, Yin Gedala could not predict the attacking options.

Noticing that Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly raised his body's center of gravity, Yin Gedala subconsciously slid to the right back, Li Ze immediately seized the opportunity, quickly closed the ball outside the three-point line, ignored the pounce, and shot a dry pull-out jumper!

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

"Shhhh

The Warriors fans at the scene only saw Li Ze dribbling under his crotch twice in a row in the half court and then pulled it out, a slightly casual offense, and he could still score?

Looking at Li Ze, who quickly retreated, Yin Gedala sighed helplessly in his heart, he could feel that Li Ze had accelerated the pace of his attack and attacked more resolutely...

Li Ze, who had returned to the halfcourt, stood outside the three-point line and reminded his teammates loudly:

"Speed up the rotation of defense, echo each other, can't squeeze through the block, and change the defense in time!"

Jokic kicked up the twelve-point spirit, but the Warriors still stuck to him and opened the game with good results.

The white fat man didn't want to hold back, and he worked the defensive end.

For several rounds in a row, the Warriors flipped over and over again to cover Jokic and then attack with the ball, either completing a mid-range jumper or simply hitting the frame.

The Clippers attacked, Li Ze accelerated the pace of the offense, and the Warriors only needed to be one step slower in the defense, either shooting or bursting, and playing fast singles.

Coupled with Jokic's blocking and dismantling, he was able to score points, and the two sides scored continuously and efficiently, and they were stalemate for a while.

With 6:46 left in the first quarter, the score came to 16:16, and after Li Ze broke through the frame and hit two free throws, Steve Kerr immediately called a timeout.

On the commentary bench of ESPN on the spot, Mark Jackson felt that the Warriors were playing well offensively, and he was in a good mood for a while:

"I believe that's the kind of offense that Warriors fans expect, where everyone can score, share the ball quickly, and the Warriors played their own offensive rhythm tonight."

Jeff Van Gundy noticed that Li Ze had scored 10 points at this time, and also sighed:

"The battle of Tianwang Mountain, the collision of different basketball concepts, Kayce is ready, the Warriors should be careful..."
