In the 18~19 season, the fans became the biggest winners.

Amerika's sports media first picked up Durant's trumpet at the beginning of the season, and then the Lakers lost all the way, and when they arrived on the road, a bunch of people shouted:

"James wants to trade you!"

The Rockets started the game in good shape, but with the injuries of Paul and others, Harden was forced to enter a state of letting go.

Of course, in the Western Conference, the new Doncic is very popular, and many fans feel that this new Doncic has the shadow of Li Ze, so this European talent is also known as:

"Bankrupt version rookie Li Ze"

In the Eastern Conference, the Bucks have risen completely, and under the coaching of head coach Budenholzer, Giannis Antetokounmpo has exploded this season, surpassing all teams in the Eastern Conference.

Leonard, who was assigned to the Frontier, also led the team to a performance that satisfied the Raptors fans, and at the moment, it seems that the championship is also beckoning to them.

Before the All-Star Game, Adu's popularity exploded, and after several rounds of voting, he overtook James and became the king of the West

The Christmas game against the Warriors showed a stretch, but this did not affect Durant's popularity in the slightest, and after the cat and dog incident, everyone wanted to see how the Warriors would deal with this matter internally.

Coach Rivers is also back at the top, even if he lost to the Trail Blazers before the All-Star break, the Warriors' record is still firmly in first place.

In the game against the Trail Blazers on the night of February 14, 2019, Durant played 37 minutes, 17-of-27, 6-of-14 from beyond the three-point line, 10-of-10 from the free throw line, and slashed 50 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 4 turnovers.

Despite the loss, Durant's fans can also shout:

"The Warriors lost, but the Grim Reaper didn't!"

The loss before the All-Star break put the Warriors' record to be caught up by the Clippers.

Both teams have a 44-14 record, and the Clippers are back in first place.

Basketball ultimately relies on strength to speak, Durant's recent data explosion, no matter what the outside world says, after the continuous explosive performance, most sports media still send praises.

This year's All-Star Game will be held in Charlotte, and the game will be played at the Spectrum Center, home of the Hornets.

After Durant won the ticket king, he did not choose his teammates for the Warriors, so before the start of the All-Star break, everyone followed the trend and gossip.

TNT's program specially invited Li Ze, as a former teammate, and Durant won two consecutive championships, and everyone wanted to hear Li Ze's views.

"50 points again, seriously, I'd love to see how Draymond Green feels at this point!"

"Obviously, the Warriors' failure can't be blamed on Durant."

In the studio, Charles Barkley didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and directly shifted the topic to the two focus figures.

O'Neill laughed on the side, and also followed the arch fire:

"Durant may be right, but he should be like a man, go back to the locker room and say it openly!"

"The Warriors have really failed to show their dominance over the years, and when they won 73 wins, they still didn't break out of the West, and that season was definitely the best time for them to win the championship."

The host Ernnie Johnson ignored the two arch fire partners, turned to Li Ze with a smile and asked:

"Kayce, who do you think will win the championship this year, you should be the one who knows the strength of the teams in the league best, and I'm sure many fans want to hear your opinion!"

Since spinach entered the NBA, there have been more and more bets on dogs, and Ernnie Johnson is right, following Li Ze to buy, the saying that the villa is by the sea has also become popular recently.

Li Ze, who is also wearing a gray suit, doesn't look like anything on the outside, but his hair has grown a lot, and he doesn't look like a basketball player anymore:

"I think it's a matter of health at the moment, and I've noticed that Stephen has had injuries after gaining weight this season, which is not good news for the Warriors."

"It's the same with the Clippers and the Rockets, where injuries have caused their record to fluctuate."

"As for the championship, the Clippers have a chance to defend the title if they stay healthy, and Paul played at an MVP level this year."

"The Warriors are a bit more complicated, and I know Kevin, and if he wants to lead the team to a championship, he needs to improve his performance, and here not only on offense, but most importantly, on being deeply involved in the team's defense."

Kenny Smith looked a little strange when he heard Li Ze's words, and after Rivers became the Warriors, the defensive system did not go up but down

Draymond Green also needs data to enter the contract year, and although the regular season is good, looking at the team's high-level statistics, you can see that the Warriors have not shown dominance.

"The Clippers have really done a metamorphosis, and their grasp on the offensive end has decreased, but they are still very solid on the defensive end."

"Kayce, don't you talk about the Eastern Alliance? The Nets have been doing well lately, Russell has managed to reach the All-Star level, and the boys seem to have found the secret to winning! ”

Talking about the situation of the Nets, Li Ze just smiled slightly, the team can be regarded as a salted fish this season:

"To be able to make the playoffs is to achieve the goal, sometimes we need to believe in the process!"

"Eastern Conference, I'm more optimistic about the Raptors, I know Kehuai, you all underestimate him, as long as you control your physical condition, they have a chance to break out of the East this year!"

This answer surprised the four people, and Charles Barkley immediately turned his head and asked:

"Why not the Bucks, Celtics, 76ers? These three teams also have a good record, and there are more star players. ”

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and gave his answer from the perspective of a player:

"In the playoffs, the most important thing is to respond to the ball, and when the game enters the stalemate stage, it will magnify the shortcomings of the players."

Giannis has cashed in on his talent, but he still needs to polish his shots, and Kyrie needs to step up his confrontation and defense.

"Ben Simmons has a lot of talent, but in the playoffs, being shot from the ground can cause huge problems for the team."

"These shortcomings are very lethal in the playoffs, in contrast, Kawhey can bring the most help to the Raptors on both offensive and defensive ends, and when it matters, giving him the ball can solve the problem."

"That's why I'm bullish on the Raptors in the Eastern Conference, where Kafai can raise the team's ceiling."

“.”

After TNT's episode aired, the Raptors' attention skyrocketed, but after the All-Star break, Durant became the protagonist again.

In the Charlotte All-Star Game, Durant scored 31 points in the whole game, led the team to a reversal and victory, and successfully won the All-Star Game MVP!

Continuing to speak with basketball, Durant blocked out the outside world, and after the All-Star break, he became more and more courageous.

As the regular season drew to a close, fans quickly discovered that Li Ze's prediction was scary.

Despite Paul George's shoulder injury, the Clippers eventually managed to run a 58-win record and once again take the No. 1 spot in the West.

Coach Rivers has some regrets in his heart, if the Warriors don't have injuries, the results will definitely be better than now!

The Warriors ended up with 57 wins, the Rockets relied on a healthy bench lineup to finish third with 55 wins, and the unlucky Trail Blazers finished fourth with 53 wins.

Compared with last season, there is no change in the ranking of the teams in the top half of the region, and the old enemies are reunited, and the fans of the Trail Blazers are already going to call the police!

The Jazz with 50 wins are in fifth place, the Thunder with 49 wins are in sixth place, the Spurs are in 7th place with 48 wins, and the Nuggets with 46 wins are finally on the last train to the playoffs.

As for the Lakers, who are the favorites this season, they only got 37 wins under the leadership of LeBron James, and they went fishing early

Such a record also made LeBron James's reputation plummet, and the most ridiculed words by fans were:

"It turns out that this is James's real level, there are no star players as teammates, and he is the champion!"

In this year's playoffs, fans can't see Li Ze, and they can't see LeBron James, and a new era has arrived.

At the beginning of April, Li Ze has returned to the Celestial Empire, and at the end of August this year, the Men's Basketball World Cup will be held as scheduled, and after completing this competition, he will also officially retire.

The World Cup is about Olympic qualification, and Celestial Empire fans are not worried about the group appearance, everyone is looking forward to winning a medal on their doorstep.

After returning to China, Li Ze kept a low profile, spending most of his time in Shanghai and BJ, and attending some Keds sponsorship events with Rick.

After not playing for a year, the coaching staff of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team was still worried about Li Ze's state, but after a simple communication in early May, the coaching staff put their minds at ease and continued to entangle other candidates.

As the host, it is natural that you will also enjoy some benefits, such as in the grouping, the opponents of the Celestial Empire men's basketball team are not too strong.

In the end, they were placed in Group A with Poland, Ivory Coast and Venezuela.

After the lottery attended by Kobe Bryant at the end of March, the Comies became active again, and in the past two months, everyone has been talking about how far the men's basketball team can go.

On the Zepo forum, the playoffs are not as hot as the World Cup, and as the host, the World Cup has been widely mentioned since it entered 2019.

In addition, Li Ze said that after the end of the World Cup, he would leave basketball, which directly caused the ticket price to skyrocket, and the pre-sale has not yet opened, and the tickets are almost gone

"I don't know what Li Ze's state is, can he defeat Lao Mei, we should have a chance to fight 8 to 5!"

"Even if the state is only 7 percent, it is still a super high level, and in the last season, the shooting rate of many games exceeded 80%, and the god of basketball is not blown."

"It's really ugly now, I always feel like there are more whistles, and it's too boring to rain for one minute."

"Dark, I'm going to go! This year, Wohuo won the championship! ”

"It's hard to say, our players' projection level is stretched, the UAE has been injured for the past two years, and they can't play rotation in the Nets, and they have to throw the ball in 8 to 5, don't forget that our free throws are also average."

"With an average of 40+10+10 per game, as long as Li Ze plays this performance, the average team can't withstand it!"

"It's not easy to get 10 assists, and the personnel haven't been decided yet, so it's estimated that it's also a choice."

"If you were Li Nan, you wouldn't be able to choose, the forwards were all injured, and there were a bunch of defenders left."

“.”

At the end of May, the NBA's division finals were also in a white-hot state, and to the surprise of Amerika fans, Leonard showed his dominance in the playoffs, just like Li Ze said.

After beating the Magic in the first round, the Raptors met the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

With the addition of Jimmy Butler, the 76ers' hardness skyrocketed, but Leonard still relied on his super strength to beat the whistle in the G7 game and take away the opponent!

Joel Embiid was defended by Mark Gasol in this round of the series, and the 76ers lost the game, which was also inseparable from his superghost performance

After crying Embiid, in the Eastern Conference Finals, after losing two games in a row, the Raptors who returned to their home court once again relied on Leonard's super performance to win two games in a row!

The teammates who had collapsed in the first two rounds also recovered at this time, and after Leonard faced Giannis Antetokounmpo, the game situation was completely reversed.

The two away Raptors collectively exploded, and finally the Raptors eliminated the Bucks with a score of 4:2 and successfully reached the finals!

Many Amerika fans are stupid, it's exactly the same as what Li Ze said, the Bucks took the Celtics in the first round, and Irving was completely lost in the muscle confrontation.

And in the Eastern Conference Finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who shot and pulled his hips, was taught by Leonard to be a man, except for switching offense, it is difficult to score response goals when he falls into a positional battle.

The Eastern Conference decided the winner, and fans quickly focused on the tiebreaker in the Western Conference Finals.

In the Western Conference semifinals, the Warriors defeated the Rockets with a difficult victory, Durant injured his Achilles tendon, and finally relied on Curry's explosion to win the opponent 4:2.

In the Western Conference Finals, with the Warriors leading 3:1, they were moved to 2 games in a row, dragging the game into a tiebreaker.

In the G1 game, Paul George was reimbursed for the series due to a shoulder injury, and the Warriors did seize the opportunity to win an away game and successfully protect their home court.

Perhaps it triggered Rivers' passive buff, and Jokic and Harris began to explode.

Eric Gordon, Jaylen Brown, Brogdon also had outstanding performances.

Siakam and Powell on the bench were unrelenting, Looney stole the Warriors' interior, and veteran David West stepped up at critical moments.

G7 returns to Intuit Dome arena and the Clippers show the resilience of the defending champions!

Such a fierce game also made the Clippers fans more and more excited, and the Intuit Dome arena erupted into a tsunami-like shout from the start of the game.

In the face of adversity, Stephen Curry did not pull his hips, and Harris, who broke out in a few games, suddenly hit the iron at this time.

At 108:104, with Coach Rivers stumbling to the main force, the Warriors won with difficulty and finally reached the Finals.

After the win, Curry squatted on the floor, hiding his face and crying, Klay screamed with joy, and Draymond Green celebrated wildly.

The Warriors were relieved that they had finally won!

On the TNT commentary seat, Reggie Miller saw that the Clippers fans were still applauding the home team players, and said with emotion for a while:

"Without Kayce, the Clippers are still showing the style of the defending champions, and that's the winning culture, and no matter what kind of difficulties the team is facing, I'm sure the Clippers can get through it."

"As long as the core players are healthy, they will still be championship contenders next season, Nikola Jokic has shown his quality, and I'm sure after this series, everyone will have a new understanding of him!"

Commentator Kevin Harlan saw Curry crying bitterly and also sent his blessings:

"In this year's playoffs, Curry proved himself again, and hopefully he can continue to do so in the Finals!"

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, in the CCTV studio, the host Yu Jia saw Li Ze sighing regretfully, and immediately said with a smile:

"The Clippers are just a few games away from winning, and I'm sure if you're still on the team, it's going to be completely different!"

Li Ze, who was dressed in a black suit, was like a professional commentator at this time, and when he heard the director's prompt, he immediately smiled and summarized simply:

"Coach Vogel is still running in with the team, and it is not a good choice to let Jalen attack with the ball too much."

'He's got a lot of work to be done, Tobias is the same, and if George was there, it would have been a completely different situation.'

"Nikolai doesn't play aggressively, and in individual rounds, he needs to be determined to hit the basket instead of waiting for his teammates to create opportunities for him."

"But congratulations to the Warriors, a lot of people underestimate Curry, and I think after this year's playoffs, everyone will get to know Curry again!"

“.”

The finals of the 18~19 season were jokingly called Leonard's revenge battle by fans.

Get up from where you fall!

Scumbag Pachulia changed Leonard's career with one kick, and this year, Leonard has a chance to finish on what he didn't finish that year.

Compared with the rookies of the Warriors' full Finals, on the Raptors' side, Li Ze's old teammate Ibaka has seen a big scene, and the Thunder defeated the powerful Heat Big Three that year.

Ibaka has polished the mid-range over the years, has not suffered major injuries in his career, and is currently in his prime, and he has played a huge role in the defensive end when he can break out of the East.

Although Nick Nurse is a rookie, he is very good at using the strongest tactics, Leonard does not need to mobilize at all, and when he meets the Warriors, he is stronger than anyone else!

After losing a home court, the Raptors moved two games in a row at Oracle Arena to rewrite the series to 3-1.

G5 was on the edge of the cliff, and in an interview, Coach Rivers began to stealthily shake the blame when facing Amika's sports media:

"I think Kevin can play in the next game, even if he is only 50% in shape, as long as he plays, he can bring huge help to the team!"

Perhaps too eager for the championship, everyone on the Warriors team also spoke out at this time:

"Kevin should be back to 80 percent and can step up and help the team at this point."

"If we had a full lineup, the Raptors wouldn't be our opponent!"

"Even if we can't provide a lot of support on the defensive end, we can solve a lot of problems with Kevin on the offensive end."

After Draymond Green reached the Finals, he said in an interview that he had implicitly mentioned that "without Durant, we made it to the Finals."

When the team encountered difficulties, Green turned into a licking dog again, and G5 actively spoke out before the game:

"We really need Kevin, even if he's not in shape, he can be a huge help to the team, he's Kevin Durant!"

In the face of pressure from Rivers and his teammates, Durant showed an indifferent attitude, let them wear out their mouths, and only said calmly in an interview:

"I'm only responsible for my own body! I've had success with the Thunder, I've won championships, and I don't have to prove anything to anyone else! ”

"No matter how you report it, I won't play in the G5 game."

The two sides directly tore their faces, and after Durant followed the team to Toronto, he wore protective boots to sign autographs for fans everywhere, and chatted with Drake, the duck, before the game.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and in the second quarter of G5's game, Klay fell to the ground in pain after landing on a counter-attack layup, and then never returned to the court.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Nas entered the custody state, Leonard completely broke out, and hit two shots outside the three-point line to reverse the score!

Coach Rivers' timeout didn't help, "Let's go! ”“Move！” Under the instructions, the Warriors were completely confused.

Coach Nas was simply possessed by De Nagro at this time, handed the ball to Leonard, and stood on the sidelines to manage the whole process.

The strongest tactics worked again, and the Raptors' home court was completely furious by this time.

The rookie Warriors were suddenly lost in the fourth quarter, and they could only watch the imposing Leonard score consecutive points.

In the end, at 106:108, the Raptors reversed the game in the final quarter and defeated the Warriors with a big score of 4:1 to win this season's championship!

Curry seemed to have a hard time accepting the result, and sat down on the floor at the end of the game, staring straight at the scoreboard over the court.

On the other side, Lowry and Leonard hugged passionately, the two screamed and rushed to the bench, and everyone on the Raptors laughed and hugged each other.

The whole of Toronto is boiling at this moment, the first championship in the history of the Raptors, and the offseason gamble has finally paid off!

Equally crazy are Amika's betting dogs, and since hearing Li Ze's views, some people have begun to pay attention to the Raptors.

After the Raptors won the championship, the previous episode of TNT's show became popular again, and the melon-eating crowd could only sigh:

"Follow Li Ze to buy, the villa is by the sea! The god of basketball really understands the ball! ”

The new championship also had an impact on the Amerika men's basketball squad.

When the time came to August, when a number of big-name stars did not play, the bad old man Popovich could only take a bunch of new players to the Men's Basketball World Cup.

The Celestial Empire men's basketball team also determined the 12-man roster at this time:

Li Ze, Zhao Jiwei, Guo Allen, Sun Minghui, Zhao Rui, Fang Shuo, Kelan Baike, Abdusalam, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian.

What makes the fans of the Celestial Empire unable to complain is that Coach Li Nan finally chose a basket of defenders

At the end of August, Li Ze also saw many old friends, although Jaylen Brown is a new player, he has become the absolute leader of this Amelica men's basketball team.

After all, he won two championships with the Clippers and has not missed the playoffs in his career so far, and this experience has blown up star player Kemba Walker.

The benefit of the host is that the Celestial Empire men's basketball team can avoid the Amerika men's basketball team until the quarterfinals.

On August 31st, the group stage began, and the Tianchao men's basketball team began the road of flat pushing, and the difficulties expected by the fans did not appear at all, under the influence of Li Ze's 40+ scores at every turn, he did not meet the opponent until 8 into 4.

The Serbian men's basketball team does not have Jokic as the core, and of course, this is also related to Jokic's poor physical condition.

Bogdanovic played very well in the group stage, but after encountering Li Ze's defense, he was completely inaccurate.

Although the Celestial Empire men's basketball team also continued to lose points, relying on Li Ze's exaggerated shooting rate of nearly eighty percent, he still dragged down the opponent.

75:82, after the Celestial Empire men's basketball team defeated Serbia, it successfully reached the semifinals.

Although the results are good, the scene is very ugly, the three-point shot that is not working from time to time, and the stinky tofu playing style of the outside players.

The front line is stretched defensively, the interior also loses rebounds, and the tactical discipline is not as good as the opponent, but basketball is sometimes so unreasonable.

With a shooting rate of 8 percent, Li Ze played the whole game, got half of the team's points, and solved all the problems at once.

Although the fans of the Celestial Empire were happy, they were still a little apprehensive when they thought that they might encounter the Amelica team next.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the French team relied on the advantage of the inside line and directly defeated the Amerika team, so that the opponent in the semifinals became the French team.

After the Gobert card scope was launched, Li Ze made 9 three-pointers in a single game to help the Celestial Empire men's basketball team get through the danger.

In the finals, after meeting the Spanish men's basketball team, they stabbed each other for 4 quarters, and finally relied on Li Ze's 100% shooting rate of 68 points, and the Celestial Empire men's basketball team successfully won the championship.

At 82:88, in the Wukesong Gymnasium, the fans of the Celestial Empire were cheering loudly, the game was not good, and the expected players were still pulling their hips, but they just won!

The host Yang Jian also ignored the process and shouted excitedly:

"The Celestial Empire men's basketball team is the champion!"

No one likes to lose in this way, at least the Spanish men's basketball team is not convinced, and the old coach Scariolo complained in a low voice at the final press conference:

"Spain are the better team!"

On September 24, Li Ze has returned to Los Angeles in a low-key manner, and on his birthday, he released a documentary on his personal channel:

“《Kayce-Li》”

It didn't take long for fans to realise that this was an official announcement of their retirement, and unlike previous press conferences, this way seemed to be closer to the fans.

The entire documentary was filmed in the achievement room of Li Ze's home, and following the camera, fans can see trophies one after another.

For example, the crystal trophies of the week and the best of the month are filled with a whole shelf.

"The best of the first month, I still remember the joy of the fans in the city!"

"It was the first time Kevin and I had won the award together, and we were so excited that we had a party for a few days!"

Li Ze in front of the camera smiled with a memory smile, and then began to introduce the trophies in the achievement room one by one.

"This is the first time I've won an MVP, and if memory serves, I should have broken the previous record!"

"It was the first scoring title, and it was Kevin who was competing with me, and we seemed to be only 0.5 points apart in the end."

"This is the first award I have won since I came to the Clippers, the Player of the Week award, the specific data, eh, I can't remember it clearly!"

"This is the first time I've won the DPOY, an outside player, and it's really not easy to get this award, by the way, I also won the steal king that season."

“.”

The documentary is interspersed with some game footage as the narration goes, and the camera comes to the last FMVP trophy, Li Ze said with a smile:

"That's my basketball story, thanks to the fans who have always supported me, I chose to leave the court on the day I turned 29!"

"I still love basketball, but after that, I want to be more involved in my family!"

"Goodbye, dear basketball!"

Thank you all for your subscription support~

In fact, there is a lot to write about,

But after thinking about it, I still don't count the words~

Tomorrow I will make up for it, and then it will be completely finished~
