The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 172 The Art of Whistleblowing (9000 word chapter)
Veteran referees in the NBA must have learned the art of whistling. In G2 of the Western Conference Finals, there were even more famous whistlers. Tony Brothers, James Capps, Mark Davis were all there, and several others The referees are also experienced.

Coach Brooks noticed that Ibaka was whistled for moving the pick-and-roll, and immediately put pressure on the referee on the sidelines, and the referee Tony Brothers was also very face-saving. The Lakers' offensive round directly called Vujacic's offense foul
This whistleblowing is obviously a balance whistle for the Thunder, but Li Ze on the field doesn't think so. These old guys have been helping the Lakers firmly control the rhythm of the game in this game.

The scale of the game between the two sides in the first quarter was fairly fair, but when the Lakers tied the score in the second quarter, the referee first blew Ibaka down, so that the offensive end made it easier for the Lakers to hit the ball into the penalty area.

At the same time, this penalty also curbed the Thunder's offense. After all, Ibaka can also enter a mid-range from time to time, which can better open up the offensive space on the court.

This is the silent help of moistening things, and Li Ze can clearly feel it. Compared with the first quarter, the Lakers' outside defense in the second quarter obviously increased some hand movements, but the referee didn't pay attention to it.

On the contrary, the Thunder must be careful in every cover action, and the referee will definitely blow the whistle for pouting buttocks and small steps. This kind of silent help makes the Lakers gradually grasp the game.

Coach Phil Jackson also cooperated exceptionally. In this game, he reduced Fisher's playing time. Vujacic, Farmar, and Shannon Brown began to rotate alternately on the back line, acting as cannon fodder, with the purpose of consuming the Thunder. The outside of the team.

Different from the game in G1, the Lakers began to concentrate the ball in the hands of Kobe and Gasol, and the other three on the field almost became tools. Coach Phil Jackson gave up his pride, he just wanted to use Kobe hammered the Thunder and shared the ball?Let's talk after we win
The Thunder attacked, and Vujacic, who was troubled by fouls, was off the field. Shannon Brown, who came off the bench, clung to the turtle after he came on the field. As a successful cannon fodder, his task after playing is to defend with all his strength.

After passing the ball a few times, the Thunder never got a good chance to open up. Seeing that there were 6 seconds left in the attack time, Li Ze quickly took the pot at the left elbow of the free throw line.

Kobe defended Li Ze's left hand tightly and did not give him a chance to release the ball. Faced with such a defense, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand. Just after taking a step, Gasol blocked it with his long arm , At the same time, Kobe on his side is also constantly putting pressure on him.

"buzz"

Take 24 seconds as an example. Seeing that there was no better chance to make a shot, Li Ze directly chose to make a mistake on the spot, and did not forcefully throw the ball. He didn't want to easily give the Lakers a chance to switch offense.

"Aha!!"

The audience at the Staples Center noticed that the Thunder's offense was gradually misfiring, and they shouted excitedly. This is the Lakers' defense they expected.

Kobe was naturally very satisfied with this defensive round, and while serving from the baseline, he began to encourage his teammates loudly:

"Good job! Keep pressing them, pushing through cover, giving them physical confrontation!"

In the second half of the second quarter, Kobe no longer confidently defended Li Ze alone. He began to use the team's defensive system more to try to double-team Li Ze. After all, tonight's game is really impossible to lose. Now, the Western Conference Finals is not the time for him to be self-willed and serious.
"It's okay! Stay focused! Protect the rebound!"

Coach Brooks noticed that the situation on the court was gradually changing, and immediately reminded his players loudly on the sidelines. After the mistake, Li Ze looked calm and patted his chest, indicating that the ball was his problem.

The Lakers sent out the baseline ball, and Kobe dribbled the ball across half court. Gasol immediately raised the pick-and-roll, noticing that Li Ze had squeezed through quickly, and Collison's defense also came up to meet him. The ball goes to Gasol at the free throw line.

As soon as Durant's defense on the line shrunk, Gasol quickly gave the ball to Artest outside the three-point line. The latter caught the ball and made an open three-point jumper.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

"Roar!!"

After the goal, Artest threw his fist and roared. He has now completely become a 3D tool man. The defensive end stalks Durant, and the offensive end shoots an open three-pointer from the right wing. This goal is scored. It can be regarded as his response.

"The Lakers' offense is really patient. So far in the game, they have actually got a lot of opportunities from the outside, but this is the second time they have made a three-pointer. It is completely different from the game in G2. The Thunder have to hold on at this time! "

Seeing that the Lakers had already led by three points, Yang Yi couldn't help worrying about the Thunder.

When the Thunder team attacked, the Lakers' defense was also fully motivated. In order to prevent Li Ze and Durant from receiving the ball, Kobe and Artest crazily squeezed through the screen.

After the turtle broke through and circled around, there was still no good chance. Li Ze noticed that the attack time was running out, and immediately started to ask for the ball with his back at the waist, while Kobe took a half-circle forward defense method, constantly Interfering with Li Ze receiving the ball.

In the end, when Li Ze received the lob pass from Guigui, there were only 7 seconds left in the attack time. Noticing that Kobe was still sticking to him, Li Ze leaned back with his back and quickly released the ball with his right hand , After two slaps, he immediately turned back and shot a jumper.

"Snapped"

After "唰", he lay on his back and threw the hollow net.

Due to the excessive range of motion, Kobe tapped his wrist after the shot, and Li Ze fell directly to the floor. Noticing that the line referee did not call Kobe for a foul, he immediately stood up and complained loudly to the referee:
"Obvious wrist point action! This should be a 2+1, he definitely made a defensive foul!"

The Staples audience saw Li Ze complaining to the referee, and immediately spat trash talk excitedly:
"Li, you play too softly! I just touched your wrist, haha, Kobe will definitely destroy you tonight!"

"You won't get the whistle, this is Los Angeles, the jump shooting team can't win the championship! Stop playing basketball, go to Hollywood and act!"

"I swear, you can't continue to win this series. The black mamba has awakened and he will tear you apart."

The team took the lead, and the audience was completely happy. Everyone felt that the Lakers seemed to be on the rise, and began to cheer for the home team.

When Gasol stood on the free throw line again, Kobe, who was outside the three-point line, suddenly said to Li Ze beside him:
"The referee is not going to blow some body whistle tonight, I will limit your scoring to 20 points, and I will completely destroy you in the second half!"

"Whoa! You mean I can only score five points in the second half? You can't guard me, man!"

Li Ze was slightly taken aback when he heard Kobe's words, then immediately replied with a choked smile, Kobe didn't talk anymore, he never liked to talk trash with rookie players, but Li Ze's performance in the last game really made him a little embarrassed .
In the remaining minutes of the second quarter, the Lakers once again demonstrated the perimeter defensive strength of the championship team. As the first defensive player this season, once Kobe decided to defend with all his strength, Li Ze felt a strong defensive oppression.

The most important thing is that for many actions, the referee will not whistle at all, No Hand check?You have to ask the referee of this game if he supports this rule
Facing Kobe's oppressive defense from outside the three-point line, Li Ze had to increase his ball-protecting actions. At this time, he did not dare to make early changes in direction and pull the ball continuously. After all, the opponent really reached out to grab the ball. The referee doesn't even blow the ball!

Collison's screen quality was not high, and he was easily squeezed by Kobe again. He noticed that Li Ze was moving to the left sideline, and Shannon-Brown immediately stepped forward to attack. Before that, he immediately gave the ball to the turtle at the top of the arc.

The latter received the ball, without hesitation, and made an open three-point jumper.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

After the rebound was protected by the Lakers, Odom held the ball and launched a conversion attack. Although the Thunder retreated quickly, the Lakers seized the conversion opportunity.

Odom's pass was well-timed and found Gasol striding straight up, who caught the ball, lobbed it high and put it in the basket with ease.

"Wow!"

The crowd at Staples Center immediately cheered the team's offense and finally began to expand the lead, which also gave everyone a lot of reassurance.

In the offensive round, Durant found to his dismay that Artest was also pulling and dragging him secretly, and the referee turned a blind eye at all. As soon as the ball was released, Artest used his body to oppress while stirring up the ball.

Such an extremely oppressive defense forced Durant to stop the ball again. Turtle noticed that the situation was wrong and immediately stepped forward to respond. After receiving the ball, facing Shannon Brown's defense, he suddenly raised his center of gravity with the ball in his right hand, and then Quickly reflect the change of direction and shake the opponent away.

But Shannon Brown saw that his defense was passed, and immediately pulled the tortoise.

"squeak"

The referee signaled Shannon-Brown for a defensive foul, and Turtle got two free throws. Coach Phil Jackson took advantage of the free throws and immediately got Farmar ready to play. There are so many cannon fodder guards, and if there is a foul crisis, he will be replaced immediately.

Afterwards, the game whistle sounded frequently, and the two sides began to stand on the free throw line in turn. At the end of the second quarter, at 2:57, with their fierce defense, the Lakers at home led by 62 points.

During the halftime break, in the Sina studio, the host Ke Xiaofan and the guest Yang Yi did not expect the Lakers to suddenly increase the intensity of the game, while the Thunder, under the high-pressure defense, obviously lost their fire from outside.

"Mr. Yang, what do you think of the Lakers' defense in the second half of the second quarter, and how should the Thunder adjust in the second half?"

"The Lakers' defensive intensity is very strong, but this is also related to the home court advantage. The referee has obviously relaxed the scale of some perimeter defenses. In this kind of high-confrontation game, the advantage of big players is very obvious."

"In the second half, the Thunder should take all the shots they can. The Lakers have completely changed their defensive strategy. When Li Ze receives the ball, as long as he dribbles past the free throw line, the help defense will immediately pounce. Chasing the pick-and-roll in the halfcourt was very good."

"Jeff Green is completely lost. At this time, Ibaka and Collison can be used to improve the quality of the screen first and make it easier for Durant to catch the ball."

Yang Yi had something else in his mind, but he couldn't say it in the live broadcast. The referee's penalty scale was obviously double-standard, and the defensive scale of the two perimeters was obviously different. Although the Lakers played well, they absolutely These help are inseparable.

"Thank you for Teacher Yang's comments. We can look forward to the Thunder's adjustment in the second half. If the series ends at 1:1, the Thunder will have to protect their two home games."

The host Ke Xiaofan felt a little regretful. The Thunder team played very well at the beginning, but they did not hold up in the second half of the second quarter. This made him feel very sorry. He still hoped to see Li Ze enter the finals.

In the Thunder's locker room, the atmosphere was very dull. The Lakers really showed the demeanor of a championship team. They used defense to limit the Thunder's offense. Durant made a 11-for-3 in the first half and made 2-for-2 free throws. , Only scored 8 points, which made him very depressed.

"Shet! The referee is definitely targeting me! Artest's hand movements don't blow at all. Although there is a blessing from the home whistle, this is too much!"

The more Durant thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he directly complained.

"The referee just relaxed the defensive standards on the perimeter. Believe me, if the Lakers lead to around double digits, the referee will strictly punish hand movements. This is the home whistle, and we have also enjoyed such treatment."

Li Ze was also defended by Kobe, but he didn't want to complain. After all, when he was in Oklahoma City, in the first two rounds, he and Turtle were also protected by the whistle at home, so they could continue to play high-intensity defense.

The Lakers just took advantage of this. They tried their best to gain home court advantage in the regular season just to be taken care of by the referees. At this time, it is useless to scold the referees for double standards. This is also one of the unspoken rules of the league.

"Why do I feel that Bynum is not playing, but the Lakers are playing more smoothly? Gasol is completely different from the last game!"

Turtle originally thought that he would get a lot of breakthrough opportunities in this game, but the Lakers directly replaced the defenders on the field, and the inside defense was also upgraded to a higher level than in the previous game.

"Maybe it's because Gasol got a lot of shots and didn't have to think about Duan Bynum's shots anymore."

Jeff Green, who was invisible at halftime, also answered, he was completely frozen by Odom in tonight's game.
"Okay guys, we've got half game time, enough time for us to tie the point difference, we have to move the ball up quickly, make more open shots, Collison, Ibaka, control yours foul!"

After Coach Brooks came to the locker room, he immediately wrote and drew on the tactical board to help everyone understand the Lakers' offensive strategy for better defense.

After the start of the second half, when the Thunder team attacked for the first time, Li Ze felt something was wrong in his heart. The Lakers' outside defense still maintained the intensity in the second half of the second quarter. All green lights.

Durant was completely lost under Artest's muscular defense, and the offensive end was bang bang, while Li Ze was double-teamed by the Lakers.

Kobe was the first line of defense. Once Li Ze came to the waist, Gasol's help defense came over immediately, long-range pick-and-roll, and several backup guards of the Lakers took turns to help Kobe delay.

Among the Thunder's trio, only the tortoise still performed very well, always responding to mid-range pull-up jumpers, but after the game entered the fourth quarter, the Lakers began to throw consecutive three-pointers from the perimeter. After a wave of 4:9, the point difference quickly came to 2 points.

At this time, the referee's whistle-blowing scale gradually returned to normal. With 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Li Ze's breakthrough outside the three-point line successfully won a free throw, but he felt no joy in his heart. He still complained fiercely in his heart:
"Is this the art of whistling? No Hand check appears and disappears from time to time, as expected of a star referee, he can easily control the rhythm of the field"

After scoring two free throws, Li Ze's statistics for this game also came to 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 turnovers. Coach Brooks also replaced the main lineup at this time. It is necessary to consume too much physical energy of the players.

In the end, at 97:110, the Lakers fought back at home, and the big score between the two sides became 1:1. Coach Phil Jackson showed a gratified smile after the game, and defense can win the championship!
科比-布莱恩特虽然本场比赛拿到了28分7展板6助攻1失误1抢断，但他对自己的发挥并不满意，李泽还是拿到了24分，牛皮吹破了.
Paul Gasol was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' win. In this game, he made 15 of 11 shots, 9 of 8 free throws, scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. Insider.

The Staples Arena was full of jubilation at this time, and the big stars in the front row were also beaming. It was not in vain!The Lakers still won!
On the other side of the ocean, Comeys were also excited. After losing the last game, everyone was taken aback, but seeing the Lakers easily regained their victory in this game, the Comeys of Hupu It also floated up instantly.
"The Thunder are dying! Durant scored 20 of 5 and scored 18 points. Artest completely restrained him. This is Crouching Tiger's strength. The last game was just a test!"

"Gasol is too hard! I have said long ago that without Bynum, the Lakers will play more smoothly. The few assists by Volute are really beautiful!"

"This is the strength of a defensive player! Volute completely dominated both offensive and defensive ends. Crouching Tiger eliminated the Thunder 4:1, and swept the Celtics in the finals to complete their revenge!"

"Don't brag. If Kobe really can limit Li Ze with a single defense, why does he attack frequently on the court? If the Thunder can have a few more stable three-point shooters from the outside, or if the inside players can be tougher, the Lakers will not be able to play in this game. Can't win!"

"Brothers, don't you think there is something wrong with the scale of whistleblowing in this game? I believe that the Thunder can defend their home court."

"Don't say anything! The Lakers championship, the volute FMVP, will win another championship next year and directly tie with Jordan. The number one player in history should also be changed!"

"Support Volute to win the championship, Li Ze hurry to the Lakers! Volute will take you to win the championship!"

"Reported, just wait for Li Ze to blow up Kobe in the past two years, so that you don't have to come out every day to find a sense of existence!"

After the game, the Thunder team was in the locker room, and everyone adjusted their emotions. Although the loss of this game was rather depressing, winning an away game has achieved the team's expected goal.

"Back to Oklahoma City, we also need to improve our defensive strength, shit Artest, don't think he can easily score points with me in the next game!"

In this game, Durant completely exposed his shortcomings. In the absence of cover, the fierce physical confrontation caused his shooting percentage to drop sharply. Unlike the previous two rounds, the Lakers' flank defense was even stronger. it is good.

"Unfortunately, Fisher's playing time is much less, otherwise I can get more points!"

本场比赛龟龟拿到了26分5篮板4助攻1失误2抢断，在湖人队选择包夹李泽的情况下，龟龟的发挥无可挑剔。

"In the next game, Bynum should be lifted. The league obviously favored the Lakers. Fortunately, the game started on the 23rd. We still have enough time to adjust."

When Jeff Green thought that he would meet the inside of the Lakers' twin towers again, his heart suddenly turned cold. Too much low-post defense would make him lose his offensive touch. The more Jeff Green thought about it, the more uncomfortable he was. I don't want to be a big player at position 4.
"We won at home and got the match point. Our inside line is not bad. As long as we play two more games, Krstic will be back soon. The initiative is still on our side!"

Li Ze quickly reassured his teammates. Tonight's game was a bit miserable, so we must increase everyone's confidence at this time.

"Krstic has recovered very well in the past two days, but the league's medical procedures are a bit cumbersome. Hey, it's all due to Bynum the shit!"

"Maybe we don't have to wait until Kostic returns, we're going to the finals, God, just thinking about it makes me feel empowered."

"The finals! The heat will definitely explode, and all fans will watch that game. It's so exciting."

Li Ze also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his teammates talking about the topic of the finals. Don't be scared by the Lakers, or you won't be able to play the next game.

On May 5th, the Thunder team members who returned to Oklahoma City were warmly welcomed by the Oklahoma City fans. Many fans carried blessing signs to cheer for the injured Krstic.

Coach Brooks also announced a day off. The G3 game will be played on the night of the 23rd, and both teams will have ample rest time.

Li Ze also returned to his mansion in Oklahoma City. When he saw the snacks reserved for him by the nutritionist Wagner in the refrigerator, he suddenly said helplessly to the trainer Tony next to him:

"Nuts again? Actually, I want to eat buttered popcorn more. I feel that there is a lack of sugar in my body. The drinks you have prepared recently are getting worse and worse!"

"Wagner has been worried that you will become a fat man, so we strictly controlled your sugar intake, as long as it is nutritious, how does it feel to play against Kobe in the playoffs? Meg said that you have consumed a lot of energy in these two games .”

Li Ze picked up the juice in the refrigerator and looked at some evil energy, poured himself a full glass, and after taking a big gulp, he frowned and said:

"Kobe's technical moves are simple and practical. He doesn't seem to care too much about defense. On the offensive end, he is more about adjusting his own rhythm. As long as his body is in a suitable rhythm, shots that are blocked to his face will still be scored. Too unfriendly for defenders."

This is what Li Ze felt the most after he played against Kobe in the two Western Conference finals. Whether Kobe can score goals is often determined by his own physical condition.

Kobe, who was wearing knee pads in G1, was not aggressive enough, but G2 was completely different. Li Ze suspected that Kobe used some medical methods, otherwise his knee would never recover so quickly.

"That's the muscle memory accumulated from years of competition, Kayce, if you want to play more simply and efficiently in the playoffs, I still suggest you to increase your muscle properly and increase strength training, your weight has dropped back to 97Kg, I suggest you keep your weight around 101Kg."

"Of course, there may be some fluctuations in this number. We want you to maintain your current agility. This depends on the effect of subsequent training. This is also our training plan for the next stage."

Due to the particularity of Li Ze's body, the trainer Tony adjusted the training plan three times this year. After more than half a year of running-in, the whole team has a better understanding of Li Ze's physical condition.

After hearing Tony's words, Li Ze suddenly remembered that after waking up in the morning in the past few days, he could hardly feel the fullness in his body. In another month or so, the new energy drink will be updated.

"In this regard, I completely obey the command, but during the offseason, I must take a good rest for a month, and have a good time by the way!"

"."

On May 5, LeBron James' closest friend Maverick Carter suddenly told the media a news:
"LeBron just wants to win a championship!"

When the media reporters from America heard these words, they suddenly regained their spirits, and they didn't mention Cleveland?Is LeBron James really leaving?
Maverick Carter then clarified some rumors, and these news once again attracted the attention of all fans.

"The outside world said that he manipulated the operation is too exaggerated! My good brother only cares about the championship, and LeBron will not appoint his next coach."

Seeing all kinds of chaotic news about LeBron James, many Cavaliers fans really panicked. Various phenomena show that the chosen one is indeed leaving Cleveland.

"Where is LeBron James going?" has once again become a hot topic in the NBA, and the topic has even surpassed the ongoing East and West finals. Fans of many teams began to spontaneously recruit James, and everyone enthusiastically P-picture , the traffic exploded on the Reddit forum for a while
This situation continued until the evening of the 22nd, in G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, 71:94, the Celtics returned to the North Shore Garden Arena and defeated the Magic at home, easily winning the match point.

更让所有人大跌眼镜的是魔术队在第1节比赛竟然只得到了12分.而魔兽霍华德更是仅仅拿到了7分7篮板1助攻3盖帽。

Such a straddle performance was naturally slammed by all media reporters and commentators after the game. People couldn't believe that Howard was completely restricted by the Celtics' inside line. What about Superman?This is the result?

The Celtics' defense is really good. Coach Doug Reeves was once again praised by everyone, the champion coach X!

And assistant coach Thibodeau also attracted the attention of their respective teams. People in the circle know that Rivers is responsible for the overall situation (chicken soup), and many defensive details are done by assistant coach Thibodeau.
The Thunder have started to practice the small lineup in the past two days. In the G3 game, the Lakers will definitely put on the twin towers again and hammer the inside. Once Jeff Green consumes too much on the defensive end, the offensive end is bound to collapse.

Therefore, the coaching staff also made plans in advance. Sefolosha will replace Jeff Green at the right time. The only flaw of this lineup is that the outside shooting may also fluctuate. Sefolosha’s defense is indeed no problem, but Attacks can sometimes turn into denials as well.

"Sapo, if you get an open shot from outside the three-point line, you must make a decisive shot. This lineup is mainly to solve the problem of offense. You have to be more confident in your shooting ability."

Just after the training session in the afternoon, Coach Brooks immediately gave Sefolosha a set of psychological massage. Without the slightest advantage in the interior, the Thunder had no choice but to smash the outside.
Li Ze noticed that after the training, Durant was still focused on the three-point shooting training. After seeing the opponent making consecutive three-point shots from the outside, he immediately said:
"Okay, Kevin! You have practiced a lot of three-pointers in the past two days, and the game will start tomorrow night. You have to let your body rest."

After Durant completed the 45-degree three-point shot from the left, he stopped, simply wiped his sweat, and adjusted his breathing:

"I don't want G2 to happen again. After thinking about it carefully, Artest will definitely make some small moves in the area below the free throw line, but playing at home and defending on the line, the referee's whistle scale will definitely be biased towards us. I must Respond on the three-point shot."

"You don't have to pursue the three-point shooting too much. We can also add some breakthroughs when we return to the home court. If the Lakers can get fouls early, this is also a good offensive method."

After Durant heard Li Ze's words, he immediately nodded and expressed his complete agreement. After the G2 game, although no one criticized his performance at all, Durant, who was surfing the Internet, saw the Lakers fans mocking him. His words immediately made me angry!
"We must win two home games. After getting the match point, Kostic may be able to return. Then we will go to Los Angeles to fight again, and we may be able to advance directly!"

In the past two days, agent Kleiman has been encouraging Durant. If he really makes it to the finals, he may get more favorable additional terms. Nike's big contract of 3 million dollars is waiting for him. Durant Te wants to win at this time.

Li Ze felt a little helpless when he saw the excited Durant. This guy must have been stunned by the American knife. The Lakers will definitely fight for a game. As long as they win the away game, the Tianwangshan battle will return to Los Angeles , The Lakers will not give up such an opportunity.

Thinking of Kobe's competitive state in the last game, Li Ze could only pray silently in his heart:
"Let the black mamba strike the iron now"

On May 5, G23 of the Western Conference Finals officially started. The fans in Oklahoma City couldn't wait. Tonight, the team's uniform team also provided white cheering T-shirts to the audience in the front row, and matched it with the back row The blue T-shirt in the position, the Ford Center Arena will be completely transformed into a sea of ​​blue and white tonight.

When Li Ze warmed up before the game half an hour earlier, the scene was almost full of Oklahoma City fans. Unlike the atmosphere at the Staples Arena, Oklahoma City's home court was even more fanatical.

Especially seeing Li Ze hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside, many fans in the front row shouted happily.

At this time, in the locker room of the visiting team, everyone on the Lakers team also felt some pressure. They did not expect that the home atmosphere of the Thunder team would be so crazy. Before the game started, they started screaming.
"Keep your focus! We need to play smarter. In the first quarter, test the referee's penalty scale. Bynum, don't make it easy. I don't want to see you foul three times in halftime!"

Coach Phil Jackson looked serious at this time. Before the start of the game, he usually doesn't want to talk about some tactical arrangements, but it is necessary to remind him that he still has to do it, especially for players like Bynum, he must strictly demand the opponent !

"Control our offensive rhythm, we want to slow down the game, we need to win an away game!"

The game was about to start. At this time, the lights in the Ford Center arena dimmed, and the DJ on the scene began to roar and introduce the home team players to enter the field. When Li Ze and Durant entered the field, there was a huge wave of noise.

The fans in Oklahoma City never expected that the team would reach the Western Conference finals in the new season. At this time, everyone just wanted to vent their excitement, and many fans were yelling crazily
"Cool! I love the vibe in Oklahoma City, the best home in the league!"

Before the game started, Guigui, who was wearing a white home jersey, was already in high spirits. Li Ze had already predicted the opponent's next behavior, and immediately pushed Meno up. He is really not very good at dancing.
When the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, the audience at the Ford Center Arena stood up under the leadership of the live DJ and began to cheer for the home team loudly:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

Ibaka and Bynum stood in the middle circle, and the referee threw the basketball in the air into the air, and the game officially began.

"Snapped"

Under the blessing of the home atmosphere, Ibaka performed exceptionally bravely, struggling to jump to the offensive ball for the Thunder. Turtle quickly dribbled across the half court, noticed that the Lakers had put on a position similar to the 32-zone defense, and quickly made an offensive gesture .

Guigui played a pick-and-roll with Ibaka at the top of the arc far away from the three-point line. At this time, Li Ze and Jeff Green were both standing in the three-second zone. At that time, Jeff Green quickly made an off-ball screen for Li Ze.

Noticing that Guigui had reached the left elbow of the free throw line, Li Ze exerted force with his feet and immediately moved up the line. After receiving the hand-off pass from Guigui, he held the ball in his right hand and moved towards the top of the three-point arc.

Kobe, who was chasing after Li Ze, was delayed by Turtle's screen, and then bumped by Ibaka at the top of the arc. He noticed that Bynum was still defending, and his anger surged in his heart.

After two screens, Li Ze successfully got an open opportunity outside the three-point line. Li Ze did not adjust, just dribbled the ball with his right hand over the three-point line, and immediately stopped and shot a jumper.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

"what!!"

The Ford Center immediately burst into loud cheers for Li Ze's goal, another wonderful start.

And Li Ze, who retreated quickly, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the referee did not strictly grasp Ibaka's mobile pick-and-roll, he suddenly felt relieved:
"Is this the art of calling referees?"
