Chapter 417: Let's Present the Awards! Lie flat! Destroy! (9400 words chapter)
The 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game has changed its voting method, with fans voting 50 percent and players and journalists voting 25 percent each.
Finally, the composite score is calculated:
(Fan Vote Ranking x2 + Player Vote + Journalist Vote)/4.
The lower the score, the higher the ranking, which is also a means to eliminate ticket swiping...
On January 20, the NBA League announced the final All-Star voting results:
Li Ze, who was far ahead in the first two stages, won this year's All-Star ticket king again without any suspense.
In the end, Li Ze's fan votes were 2193688, and the media votes and the players' unanimous votes were also the first.
Li Ze, who won three votes, has set a new record, which is unprecedented!
This year's poll was an interesting one, with the top 5 players voted by Eastern fans being:
LeBron James with 1.89 million votes, Kyrie Irving with 1.69 million votes, Giannis Antetokounmpo with 1.6 million votes, Dwyane Wade with 980,000 votes, Joel Embiid with 920,000 votes;
The top five players in the East voted for were:
LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, Isaiah Thomas, DeMar DeRozan;
And when it came time for the media to vote, the top two remained the same, with Jimmy Butler rushing to third place, Irving falling to fifth and Thomas Jr. remaining in fourth place.
Wade, who has a sentimental bonus, will miss the All-Star Game this year according to the latest rules, and Heat fans are naturally unhappy.
Past All-Star regular, Carmelo Anthony, will also miss out on this year's All-Star Game.
The top 5 players voted by fans in the West are:
Li Ze with 2.19 million votes, Kevin Durant with 1.91 million votes, Paul George with 1.86 million votes, Stephen Curry with 1.81 million votes, Russell Westbrook with 1.78 million votes;
There is also a change in the top 5 players in the West vote:
In first place is still Li Ze, followed by Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and Anthony Davis;
The media vote was exactly the same as the player vote, with Stephen Curry missing out on all of the top five, and the Rockets duo of Chris Paul and James Harden also had a very poor vote.
Although Paul George of the Clippers fan vote exploded, most of the media reporters and players thought that he was holding his thigh, and after counting the points, he naturally did not have the chance to start.
The voting results were announced, and the starting lineup for the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game was released:
The five starting players in the Eastern Conference are:
Backcourt: DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving;
Frontcourt: LeBron James, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The starting five players in the Western Conference are:
Backcourt: Li Ze, Stephen Curry;
Frontcourt: Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Anthony Davis.
The All-Star bench lineup is still selected by the head coaches of the Eastern and Western teams, and after the All-Star starters were announced, it was natural that someone would just pick lemon.
The Celtics' Isaiah Thomas has shone this season, forming a new Big Three with Griffin and Horford.
With 26 wins and 16 losses, they are currently only four wins behind the Cavaliers in first place.
The second-place record in the Eastern Conference also made Thomas Jr. a little inflated.
Statistically, he is second only to Griffin on the team, and he thinks he should squeeze out DeRozan and become the starting backcourt of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
After the All-Star starters were announced, in an interview with media reporters in Boston, Thomas Jr. shouted in the air:
"The fans voted ahead of me just because someone played in Canada, and in this year's playoffs, I want to compete with the Dragons."
Such a statement naturally made the fans of both sides break out into a tearing battle, and the Menglong fans were not weak, and everyone was happy that night!
Compared with the Eastern League, the backcourt players in the Western Conference have long been lying flat, with Li Ze and Curry here, there is no need to think about the starting position at all.
Anthony Davis, the son of Amerika, is the host player, and despite the poor record, the stats are good, and he must be given face.
Among the frontcourt players, Paul George soured Leonard, but the Spurs are currently in the third place, and Leonard is the team leader, so there is nothing wrong with being selected...
Of course, there are also players who anonymously complain that the Western Conference may not change in the next 10 years, and even shout directly:
"Give the championship to the Clippers or the Warriors! No one in the league is their opponent! β
β...β
On January 26, the NBA league announced the bench lineup for the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game:
The seven substitutes in the Eastern Conference are:
Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry, Kemba Walker, John Wall, Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, Paul Millsap.
The seven substitutes in the Western Conference are:
Russell Westbrook, Kerry Thompson, James Harden, Chris Paul, Paul George, Mark Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins.
Graymond Green was not selected as an All-Star, and although he was prepared for it, he was still a little uncomfortable after the results were announced.
The reason why Mark Gasol was selected for the All-Star Game is largely related to the Grizzlies' consecutive victories over the Clippers and Warriors.
In the first half of January, the Clippers and Warriors overturned.
The second loss to the Grizzlies made many media reporters start to look down on the Warriors.
Fortunately, after that, the Warriors, who returned to their home court, defeated the Clippers 114-128, which can be regarded as saving some reputation.
Stephen Curry's recent upturn in form is also related to Durant's starting to share the ball more.
The voices of the outside world are always influencing Adu, who has been proving his leadership skills for a while...
The Clippers only had three games in the last week of January, and on the evening of the 28th, at 123:98, after a big win over the Nuggets, all the games in January of the new year were over.
With a 44-4 record, the Clippers continue to lead the league.
The Warriors in second place have a 40-7 record, the Spurs in third place have a 36-10 record, and the Rockets in fourth place have a 35-12 record.
The top half of the Western Conference is in a crushing state, and the Jazz, Thunder, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers and top half teams behind are all far behind.
On February 1st, the NBA league announced its Player of the Month for January:
Isaiah Thomas of the Eastern Conference, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry of the Western Conference won the award.
The Celtics had a 10-4 record in January, with Thomas Jr. averaging 32.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.1 turnovers in 36.2 minutes per game.
He is averaging 22.0 shots per game and shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 9.9 attempts per game from beyond the three-point line, shooting 43.2 percent from three-point range, and averaging 7.2 free throws per game and shooting 94.1 percent from the free throw line.
The selection as an All-Star is well deserved, and considering the height of the opponent at 175, such efficiency has exploded!
The Warriors went 11-2 this month, and in addition to a surprise loss to the Heat, they also played their dominance.
Durant averaged 34.5 minutes per game, averaging 17.6 shots per game, shooting 56.5% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range.
averaged 27.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.1 steals, 2.1 blocks and 2.4 turnovers per game;
Curry, who is in good form, averages 34.3 minutes per game, shooting 20.5 shots per game and shooting 47.9% from the field, and 11.1 shots per game from beyond the three-point line, shooting 43.1% from three-point range.
Averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.6 turnovers per game!
After fully running-in, Durant and Curry can be regarded as both finding their state, and the more they play, the easier it gets!
For the best of the week and the best of the month, Li Ze is already in a state of no desire.
After awarding Li Ze twice a year, most of the rest of the time, ball critics will not consider Li Ze's data.
Because the data has been blown up by Li Ze!
After correcting the high-level stats last season, the current rebounding of guard players has become a debuff in the high-tier stats...
This season, the Clippers have increased their ball handlers, and Lee's rebounds have dropped, but his assists have started to rise again, and his assist-to-turnover ratio is far ahead of the rest of the league compared to last season.
High-level data almost dominates the list, if you really give honor according to the data, the other players will leave it, and there is no suspense in the award...
On January 31, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets at home, and Damion Lillard, who was not selected as an All-Star, said in an interview that he was going to lie flat:
"I don't care about the Weekly and Monthly awards, if you judge the players by their performance, they will all belong to Kayce!"
"I don't want to say anything more about this year's All-Star Game, I can't beat Kayce."
"But there's no shame in losing to the Clippers, the GOAT is destined to rule an era and I just want to say, I'm ready and I'm going to give it my all in any game!"
Halfway through the season, the Trail Blazers are in 8th place, and there is a high probability that they will meet the Clippers again in the playoffs.
In this case, in the face of repeated questions from reporters, Lillard simply admitted that he couldn't do it, saving the boring media from asking every day...
Hopefully making the playoffs would have been a cause for joy, but Trail Blazers fans couldn't.
All these years have passed, the Trail Blazers have lost hemp, and no matter how inflated the fans are, they will not be ashamed to say that the home team will defeat Li Ze.
The schedule in January was not tense, and Li Ze was even more crazy about fishing, putting more attention on Annie.
Paul George's stats have risen again, averaging 26.8 points per game, but what makes him sad is that the ranking of the MVP candidates has fallen instead of rising...
Seeing that Durant actually rushed to the No. 3 position, Paul George has lemon essence possessed in recent days, and he is very sour.
The main reason for this is that Jokic is getting better and better, averaging 16 points per game and 5 assists per game.
The Clippers have completely entered a state where everyone is brave, even if Li Ze does not have a strong desire to attack, he can still easily abuse vegetables.
After the Clippers' 94-118 home win over the Suns on February 1, Paul George was very generous in his post-game interview:
"I've always fought for the fans, thank you for your love for me, 1.86 million votes, God! To this day, I'm still in disbelief! β
"The Clippers are getting better and better, and the championship is our goal this season, so I don't care if I win the award, I just want to lift the O'Brien Cup in June."
Fox Sports reporters have serious suspicions that Paul George is not right, but such an answer can't pick out too many questions...
On Feb. 2, the Clippers faced the Warriors back-to-back at home.
Amika's sports media thought the game would be a Mars collision with Earth, but it turned out to be one-sided.
With Draymond Green and Slag Pachulia sidelined due to injury, Steve Kerr boldly brought in Patrick McCaw, Yoon Clarke, and James Michael McAdoo.
It's a pity that all three of them didn't perform well and were crushed by the Clippers' talent.
Starting center McGee became Li Ze's sight, and was beaten by the high block and only played 12 minutes.
32 points, 33 points, 39 points, the Clippers scored 104 points in the third quarter of the game, and the sports media who watched the scene had straight eyes, and before the game was over, someone directly tweeted:
"God! Maybe we can give the Clippers an award in advance, it's terrifying! β
The score doesn't speak to the Clippers' dominance, and the Warriors have been blown up.
At 35:46, the Clippers, who led the rebounding team, grabbed 15 frontcourt rebounds in this game.
In the end, 108-133, the Clippers who returned to their home court defeated the Warriors by a big margin.
Durant didn't expect to lose so badly tonight, and the good mood of just winning the best of the month disappeared again.
The Clippers fans at the scene were still cheering and celebrating, and ESPN's budding reporter was a little excited to interview Li Ze:
"Kayce, 46-4, will the Clippers have the best record in history this season?"
Amerika's sports media have been discussing this recently, but Li Ze is no longer obsessed with the record:
"I can't predict the future, after the All-Star break, we have a bit of a tough schedule, the record doesn't matter, the Clippers only want to win the championship!"
"Of course, if we have a chance to break the record in April, we will give it our all, the fans know me, and I prefer to have a record on my own!"
β...β
On February 3, the NBA announced the players participating in this year's Skills Challenge, Three-Point Shooting Contest, and Slam Dunk Contest.
On the Clippers' side, Eric Gordon will play in this year's three-point shootout.
So far this season, Eric Gordon has averaged 8.8 shots per game from beyond the three-point line, shooting 39.4% from three-point range;
The performance of 15.8 points per game brought the Clippers to the bench...
If the current trend continues, Eric Gordon will most likely get the best sixth man of the season, and such terrifying firepower on the bench is the reason why the Clippers have only lost four games so far.
On the plane to Boston, Eric Gordon also began to discuss this year's three-point shootout:
"I didn't expect Curry to not play, so the opponents are likely to be Kerry Thompson and Kyrie Irving, which is good news for me!"
Paul George originally wanted to participate in this competition, but the league invited the Lakers' Nike Young, apparently, this year is a team of one...
"The three-point contest is fine, but the slam dunk contest will definitely be particularly boring!"
"I really can't think of any more moves available, but this year's holiday is long enough, and the union has done a good thing!"
Paul George is going to fish as an All-Star this year, and everyone is sure to give the host Anthony Davis a face.
As long as the Western Conference wins, the All-Star Most Valuable Player award will definitely go to Davis.
Jokic was ignored again this year and didn't make the All-Star selection, but the white fat man didn't care, he planned to take advantage of the All-Star weekend to return to Serbia to visit his beloved pony...
"Why did the NBA penalize Charlotte?"
Originally, the league announced that Charlotte would be the host of the All-Star in 2017, but in the end it changed, and Jokic didn't pay attention to the news, so he naturally didn't know why.
"North Carolina is prepared to implement exclusionary laws and refuse to protect LGBT rights, so it's only natural for the coalition to take a stand."
Li Ze is not a beautiful person, he naturally has an indifferent attitude towards this kind of law, the number of transgender people has increased in the past two years, and the magical reality has made him a little suspicious of life...
Most of the Clippers' melon-eating crowd has no opinion on this method, although there is such a thing as EJ sauce in the NBA circle, but it is a family affair of Magic Johnson.
Most of the players are pure masters, 98% of them are LSPs, they empathize with each other, but they don't think so in their hearts.
On the evening of the 5th, Boston's sports media were congratulating Coach Stevens on his election as head coach of the 2017 All-Star Game.
Coach De Nagro was elected All-Star coach of the West again this year, and he is really numb to this honor...
At the North Shore Garden Arena, the Celtics fans were very enthusiastic, and after the Dragons lost back-to-back games, the home team sat in second place in the East.
With star players on the team and a rising record, Celtics fans are finally coming alive again after a few years of silence.
As the first half drew to a close and the scores were still alternating leads, Kevin Harlan began to praise the Celtics' performance on the TNT commentary bench:
γ
"Defensively, Smart and Crowder hid Thomas very well!"
"Griffin and Horford on the inside are also fully integrated into the tactical system and are currently very efficient in protecting the frame."
Reggie Miller couldn't help but secretly marvel when he saw Thomas score a long-range three-pointer in the final moments:
"9-of-30 from beyond the three-point line in the half, that's crazy, 30 shots in the half, which was absolutely unthinkable in the past!"
The team's record rose to No. 2 and was selected as an All-Star this season, which made Thomas Jr. a little inflated.
After scoring the three-point shot, Thomas Jr. shouted at Li Ze's side:
"God is playing in the No. 4 jersey tonight!"
Li Ze, who had been fishing for half the game, glanced at Xiao Douding in front of him in some surprise, and finally ignored the other party, shook his head with a smile and walked to the player tunnel.
Thomas Jr. was a little unhappy when he saw Li Ze choosing to ignore him, he is an All-Star player and should be taken seriously!
After the start of the third quarter, the noise at the North Shore Garden Arena was even louder, and the fans were very satisfied with the team leading the league at halftime, 54:56.
The Celtics took the lead in attacking, and Thomas Jr. saw Li Ze guarding in front of him, and immediately wanted to prove himself.
At the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Griffin had just completed a hand-to-hand pass, and when he saw Li Ze squeezing through the cover, he immediately moved down.
The reason why he was able to take the lead in the first half was mainly in the confrontation with Harris, and Griffin was able to take advantage of the low post.
Before he could open his hand to ask for the ball, Griffin saw Thomas Jr. burying his head in the thudge and smashing the ball straight to the basket with his left hand!
Li Ze has always maintained a defensive distance, and small players are good at touching porcelain, and Jaylen Brown suffered a big loss in the first half due to his lack of experience.
Feeling that he was already one position ahead, Thomas Jr. did not slow down, rushed up in three steps, and finally leaned over to pick up the basket with his left hand!
Confident shot, Thomas Jr. didn't have time to be happy, the ball flew into the air, and bounced to the rebound.
"Oh!
β
The fans at the scene let out an exclamation, and everyone could see clearly, Li Ze jumped up early, hovered in the air and waited for little Thomas to make a move, the brutal nail board hat...
The Celtics frequently hit the hand-to-hand on the line, and Horford has been in the left elbow area of the free throw line this round, seeing Li Ze scoop up the ball and accelerate and launch a transition attack, he stepped forward to delay as soon as possible.
Before he could reach out his hand, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, wrapped the ball around his back sharply, and instantly dodged the defense.
Horford, who wanted to chase after the defense, hung on Jokic again and was forced to slow down, only to see Li Ze rushing faster and faster!
Smart who was desperately chasing on the right sideline passed the half, and before he could get close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was 1 to 0 in the frontcourt, had already stepped on the free throw line and rose into the air.
Li Ze took advantage of the situation to pick up the ball in a big circle, swung his arm sideways, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!" The windmill burst the buckle!
"It's too fast! Unbelievable talent! God, the actual dunk at the free-throw line, did we come to the slam dunk contest in advance? β
Commentator Kevin Harlan only felt that Li Ze had completed the goal in the blink of an eye...
Coach Stevens, who was standing on the sidelines, loudly reminded Thomas Jr. to execute his tactics.
Little Thomas, who lost face, finally chose to be obedient, and played with Horford at the top of the arc, but he didn't expect Li Ze to squeeze through the cover again.
Feeling the pressure from the right rear of his body, Thomas Jr. did not break through with his head, and suddenly stopped when he traveled to the free throw line, trying to cause a rear-end foul, and then leaned on Li Ze to complete the jump shot.
This time, before the ball could be shot, the moment the ball was raised, it was cut off from behind by Li Ze.
"Ahh
β
Little Thomas, who lost his body's center of gravity, stumbled and almost threw himself into the street, screaming but found that the referee did not say it, and wanted to step forward to theorize, but everyone in the Celtics team had begun to retreat quickly.
Smart defended the most actively, and immediately defended to Li Ze's right side, and the hidden pull failed to slow down, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The top of the arc was close to the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly stepped down and pulled back, shook off half of his body after taking a screenshot, ignored Smart, who was defending, and converted three points to force a jump shot!
"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!
"Shhhh
β
The North Shore Garden Arena erupted in huge boos for a while, and little Thomas, who had completely lost face, was still chattering at the referee, but he ate a t...
Li Ze smiled and hit the free throw, and in less than a minute, he had already scored 6 points.
In the next game, Smart began to doubt his life, the Clippers' offense became faster and faster, and Li Ze's transition offense and three-point shooting continued to score points.
Griffin can indeed finish the offense in the low post, but when the Clippers always chase the ass to complete the counterattack.
Smart, who only had the instinctive reaction of his body left, saw Li Ze accelerate again and used half the court, and immediately intervened.
At the moment when the opponent stepped forward to defend, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly dribbled behind his back, and Smart's defensive center just shifted to the right, but was easily shaken by Li Ze's back again.
Smart hurriedly adjusted the center of gravity of the defense and slid to the left rear, but he didn't expect Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, to pull back from his crotch, one step away from the three-point line, and the top of the arc was directly pulled!
"Huh!" Three-pointer again!
The North Shore Garden Arena was quiet for a while, and the Stevens head coach called a timeout, and Smart, who was skeptical of his life, returned to his seat with his mouth wide open, as if he couldn't believe the current score.
At 72:62, with 7 minutes and 56 seconds left in the third quarter, the Clippers had overtaken the score.
Little Thomas also had straight eyes, and was stupid by Li Ze's personal offensive performance...
Coach Stevens glanced at the bench and sighed silently in his heart, the defense was not right.
"Has Kayce ever missed? God, how many three-pointers has he hit so far? β
Reggie Miller shouted excitedly, forgetting how many times Li Ze threw it.
"5 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, 18 points in a single quarter, just enough to cover all the Clippers' current scores!"
Li Ze, who often fishes in the new season, suddenly broke out, which also made the commentator Kevin Harlan a little confused, throwing it far away, still entering, completely unreasonable.
After the timeout, Horford blocked the outside bomb, left wing, received Smart's pass, and hit a three-pointer!
The Celtics fans immediately cheered loudly, and DJ followed suit:
βdefenseοΌ defenseοΌ defenseοΌ β
The defensive shouts just sounded, and after the fast baseline ball, Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball through the half court with his left hand.
Horford, who had just stepped out, found that Jokic had improved the cover position, and Smart failed to squeeze past the cover and subconsciously switched to Li Ze.
With the help of blocking and dismantling to get to the desired defender, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, lowered his center of gravity, and greatly in and out between the movements, swayed right and left, and accelerated directly.
Horford was stunned for a moment, and then desperately slid to the right back, but he didn't expect Li Ze to retreat a large distance outside the three-point line.
Horford completely lost his defensive position, stayed in place, and watched Li Ze shoot a long-distance three-point jumper!
The moment the ball came off, Li Ze had already turned around and retreated, and finally the ball hollowed into the net, and cheers began to sound in the North Shore Garden Arena...
Coach De Nagro on the sidelines raised his hands high, and the Clippers atmosphere team also jumped and screamed, killing crazy!
Griffin smiled helplessly, he completely experienced the powerlessness of his opponent in the past...
The Celtics did still score goals, but when they tried to contain Lee, they found that Paul George started to hold the ball in the half.
On the right side near the baseline, Li Ze used Jokic's cover to quickly bounce to the right wing outside the three-point line.
Smart's defense, which was desperately chasing the defense, was already in place, but he didn't expect Li Ze to catch the ball without making any adjustments, and throw it when he pulled it up!
Smart, who has an excellent reach, struggled to make a block, only to hit Li Ze's right arm.
"Squeak! Hmm..."
The whistle blew and the North Shore Garden Arena was once again cheered, and it was clear that some of the fans had turned their tunes.
Seeing Li Ze walk to the free throw line, commentator Kevin Harlan couldn't hold back:
"Incredible performance! I'm curious to know what Isaiah Thomas said to Kayce at halftime. β
Add penalties and go in again, looking at the back of Li Ze's retreat, the five people on the field of the Celtics are a little broken...
The Celtics were attacking step by step, and Li Ze's three-point shooting continued.
Jokic received the ball low on the left, Harris moved to the left elbow of the free throw line to cover, and the hot Li Ze moved laterally at the top of the arc to briefly escape Smart's defense.
The left wing receives a pass from Jokic and immediately throws the ball!
Looking at Li Ze, who turned his head and retreated again, Smart didn't look at the basket either, and spread his hands in annoyance, and heard the exclamations of the fans in the next second.
The ball landed in the basket with precision, and Coach Stevens simply sat back on the bench on the sidelines, and the game was over.
Thomas Jr. was completely invisible under Li Ze's pursuit, and Griffin scored in the low post only to find that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger.
Crowder finally hit a shot outside the three-point line, and just retreated to the halfcourt, he saw Li Ze pushing the ball at the top of the arc and changing direction, pulling back from his hips, retreating to outside the three-point line, and hitting a three-pointer again...
The Celtics scored a goal, and they couldn't mobilize the emotions of the fans at the scene, and Smart, who completely broke the defense, flew a little bit in a few rounds.
Li Zeqiang carried Horford away in the air, and picked up the basket with one hand with his left hand and sent the ball into the basket again!
"Squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle again, Horford on the court crossed his waist and looked at the sky, and Thomas Jr., who was replaced by Rochel, was stupid and sat on the bench without saying a word.
"Hey! Guys! Where did God go? β
Li Ze, who completed the goal, laughed and shouted to the Celtics bench, only to find that no one responded, shook his head boringly, and finally walked slowly to the free throw line.
With Li Ze's free throw hit again, the score on the court came to 94:74, and there were 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the third quarter, and the game had lost its suspense.
On the Clippers bench, the atmosphere team was shouting excitedly, and after Li Ze hit another three-pointer from the top of the arc, coach Stevens asked for a timeout again.
At the North Shore Garden Arena, only Li Ze's fans were cheering loudly, and the cheering in the first half had long since disappeared...
Seeing that the Celtics had changed to the atmosphere group, Li Ze returned to his fishing state and waited for the end of the third quarter of the game.
Smart, who was sitting on the bench, covered his head with a towel, covered his face with his hands, and said to Thomas Jr. next to him in a muffled voice:
"Fack! You really shouldn't have provoked Kayce, this is a live game in the United States, and now everyone knows that I was blown up! β
β...β
Seeing that little Thomas's eyes were straight and he didn't make a sound, Smart was even more depressed:
"X made you pretend, but it was me who was beaten? ...β
At the end of the third quarter, watching the score on the court become 104:80, the Celtics fans at the scene still couldn't believe it.
At 50:24 in the single quarter, the game was gone...
On the commentary bench of TNT at the scene, Kevin Harlan adjusted his excitement, subconsciously raised his voice and said loudly:
"What have we just witnessed? Oh, God! A new single-quarter scoring record? β
"Shooting all 13 of 10, including 10 of 10 three-pointers and 5 of 5 free throws, Kayce scored 41 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in a single quarter!"
"This broke the record of 37 points in a single quarter set by the Warriors' Kerry Thompson in the 14~15 season!"
Reggie Miller was also a little confused, and when he heard the director's prompt, he hurriedly added:
"Congratulations to Kayce, 10 points in a single quarter, setting a new three-point shooting record in a single quarter!"
On the bench of the Clippers, everyone high-fived Li Ze in celebration, and seeing such a record being born on the spot, the atmosphere group shouted with joy.
Paul George, who returned to his seat, completely experienced the feeling of hugging gold thighs, and it was difficult to lose!
19 of 23, 12 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, 8 of 8 free throws, 58 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Li Ze, who was fishing in the half, almost scored another 60 points...
"Records are meant to be broken, don't care about the performance of a game, you will have a chance to set your own record in the future!"
Li Ze is serving poisonous chicken soup to Jaylen Brown next to him, this budding newcomer is average tonight, it is still an old problem, and his grasp outside the three-point line is too poor.
Fortunately, the defensive line is on the line, and the attitude is positive, and in order to encourage new players, Coach De Nagro will often bring Jaylen Brown to the starting lineup.
Hearing the elder's encouragement, Jaylen Brown also nodded excitedly:
"I'll work on my three-point shot!"
Ingles on the side only felt that the team was getting more and more involved, and it was too difficult to get a big contract...
The garbage time went on quickly, many fans lowered their heads and silently swiped Twitter, and on Amika's social media, Li Ze swiped the screen again.
At 130:104, the Clippers who were playing away checked in in the third quarter and beat the Celtics!
The calmed Celtics fans began to boo again, some for Li Ze and some for Thomas Jr., who was not doing well.
In the third quarter, 4 of 4 in a single quarter, Thomas Jr. scored and hung zero eggs under Li Ze's defense...
4-of-13 from the field, 3-of-9 from beyond the three-point line, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 17 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 4 turnovers, Thomas Jr. failed to respond.
Griffin had a good performance, shooting 9-of-16 from the field and finishing with 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers, which was also the Celtics' team-high score.
The superficial brothers have not been plagued by injuries this season, and although they have played in a step-by-step manner for most of the time, the stats are not bad, and the Stevens head coach has long established his position as a central tactical player.
After the game, he naturally wanted to congratulate Li Ze, but when he saw Jenna on the sidelines beckoning at him angrily, Li Ze couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"This year is a contract year, you know something!"
Griffin knows this, and his agent has been reminding him that the most important thing this season is to stay healthy.
Even if the data shrinks, Anji will give him a big contract!
"Don't worry about my problems, Kayce, goodbye New Orleans!"

After the national live broadcast, the NBA league's official Twitter led fans to review the single-quarter scoring record.
Before Li Ze's 41 points, 15 years ago, in the game between the Warriors and the Kings, Kelai shot all 13 shots and scored 37 points in a single quarter;
After that, at the end of November 2016, in the game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers, Kevin Love was 11 of 14 and scored 34 points in a single quarter.
If it weren't for Owen to stir up the game, maybe Lefu would have scored 40 points....
The previous record is Carmelo Anthony, who scored 33 points in a single quarter during the Nuggets era, but Anthony is now out of breath, and Amerika's fans have also left the record a little older behind.
Various sports media have released Li Ze's data posters for the first time, although the double-double data of 58 points is mediocre, but the 41 points in a single quarter are very explosive.
At the post-game press conference, naturally some reporters curiously asked Thomas Jr., who was almost autistic.
The 175-year-old defender had completely calmed down, and finally just replied with a wry smile:
"God plays in the number 10 jersey tonight and we can't beat him..."
Li Ze, who is fishing, seems to be reminding the players in the league that as long as he wants to score, no one can stop him!
The Clippers' road trip continues, and after successive victories over the Dragons, Knicks, Hornets, and Jazz, the record has come to 51-4!
Prior to the All-Star break, such a record had all but locked up the playoffs.
On February 15, before the All-Star weekend, the Clippers returned to their home court and defeated the Hawks 84-114, completely ending the first half of the schedule.
Amerika's sports media is still immersed in Li Ze's single-quarter scoring record, and the recent week has incarnated as Li Ze's blowing...
Back in the locker room after the game, Paul George couldn't help but whisper to Li Ze on the side:
"Kayce, do we have a chance to break the league's best record this season?"
Considering that the subsequent schedule was not easy, Li Ze finally said cautiously:
"If you look at the situation in mid-March, you know, health is the most important thing!"
Paul George nodded, but secretly resolved in his heart that he would apply for more time if he couldn't do it:
"The best record in history, it's almost enough for me to get the MVP, right? ...β
