The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 181 Crazy home field
Chapter 181 The Crazy Home Field (The Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
On October 10, the Thunder also ushered in their season debut, and they will face the Chicago Bulls at home.
Unlike the Thunder, although the Bulls failed to seduce the chosen son LeBron James during the offseason, resulting in the failure of the Big Three plan, the entire uniform team still made some targeted reinforcements.
The Bulls signed Carlos Boozer, the famous 5-year-old in the NBA, for 8000 million U.S. dollars in five years. However, there seems to be some problems with this contract. Carlos Boozer did not wait until the regular season started. facing injury problems
Although the Bulls sent away Kirk Hinrich, in order to improve the problem of outside shooting constipation, they signed Keith Bogans, CJ Watson, Kyle Korver, Ronnie - Brewer.
Coupled with the head coach Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls plan to do a big job this season, and the roses in the Windy City are about to bloom!
The biggest difference between the national live broadcast and the local live broadcast is that there are more media cameras. After getting off the parking lot, there are photographers following all the way to shoot. Li Ze's dress tonight is simple and casual.
Dark blue jeans, black high-top Keds canvas shoes, and a black hooded sweater casually on the upper body. The slightly long hair has been taken care of by the designer, and it is simply grabbed twice casually. The photogenic effect is absolutely excellent.
"Whoa! Is this what it's like to be a big star? Cool! I love live streaming across America!"
Li Ze cheered funnyly at the camera, making the surrounding staff burst into laughter. From entering the arena, Li Ze and every staff member bumped their fists to greet each other. They also gave warm hugs to the Thunder team reporters.
"Come on! Kayce, as long as you perform well, we will put you in the best team this season!"
When Li Ze heard the blessing from his own reporter, he immediately responded with a smile:
"Thank you for your support. It's a pity that the league has regulations that don't allow you to accept any gifts from players, otherwise I will definitely give you a big gift!"
"Haha, a Keds membership card is enough, Kayce, come on tonight, TNT has a good lineup of casters, we must make a good impression on them."
"Don't worry! Victory belongs to us!"
If you want to do well in the NBA, media reporters must not offend easily, especially your own team reporters. Everyone is a member of the team. As long as they get along happily, they will definitely vote for the star players in the team.
Li Ze was able to enter the best second team with such a low exposure rate last season. The Thunder's team reporters have contributed a lot, and the reporters of TNT and ESPN have also contributed a lot.
NBA reporters actually like Li Ze very much. As long as there is no gossip about players in the locker room, Li Ze's interview answers are particularly topical.
In addition, Li Ze allowed them to arrange the news at will, and everyone carried the sedan chair. As long as the data is enough, it is not difficult to enter the best team!
When he came to the locker room and changed his equipment, Li Ze entered the Ford Center Arena and started to warm up. He noticed the TNT commentary team Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, and Marv Albert on the sidelines. Say hello before.
"Wow! Reggie, is this your new partner? Steve, great to see you in the commentary booth! Mr. Albert, you have always been my favorite commentator!"
When Reggie Miller heard Li Ze's words, he immediately stepped forward to hug him, and at the same time introduced Li Ze:
"Steve will probably stay with me for the next few years until he finds a coaching job. As for the groom, I don't need to introduce too much. He is the best live host on TNT!"
"Li, your performance last season was great. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to cooperate with you once. Last season, you made us at a loss on the defensive end. You really reminded me of Michael. Come on tonight's game!"
Steve Kerr also immediately hugged Li Ze, and at the same time, the groom Albert on the side also said in his own exaggerated tone:
"Oh! You are much more handsome than I saw in the episodes. I like young people with energy! Be good tonight, I won't hold back!"
"Haha, maybe you can say yes a few more times tonight, Oklahoma City fans will definitely fall in love with your commentary!"
What Li Ze said was not a complete compliment. Groom Albert, known as "The Voice of Basketball", has a very recognizable voice. Fans who like English commentary must have heard him explain Kobe's game:
"Kobe for the win, YES!!"
"Back to Kobe, YES!!"
The unique Yes tone will definitely impress people. Although groom Albert is 69 years old, he is still working in the first-line commentary position.
This is the national live broadcast. From the commentary to the broadcast to the game, every link has a huge exposure. As a business alliance, the star-making movement is definitely a well-established business. President David Stern obviously wants to make the Thunder The team leads to the front desk, the Big Three, the favorites of the league!
Li Ze always warms up half an hour earlier, but at this time Ford Center Arena has started to let fans enter the arena one after another. As the first game of the new season, Oklahoma City fans have been looking forward to it for a long time. The game is really not fun, the opponent can't help but fight.
Feeling the increasingly fiery atmosphere in the arena, Li Ze became more and more happy, which is in line with the status of an All-Star player!
On the other side of the ocean, many fans are looking forward to it. The performance of the Heat's Big Three yesterday did not meet the expectations of the fans. In addition, Dayao's two-point loss to the Lakers also made everyone feel unhappy.
On the Hupu forum, the recent Komis have completely gone to the sky. With 5 crowns in hand, no one is an opponent of Komis. I am in a hurry. Let me just say, the fact that the volute has 5 crowns, the iron-like fact also makes its fans They were speechless.
"Let's start the game quickly! I've been waiting for several months, and if I don't see Li Ze playing for a day, I feel bad all over!"
"Those who raved about James in the past two months? They were blown away by the old Big Three. I laughed to death. James just can't do it."
"Hey, Wade is obviously uncomfortable playing. Both of them are used to having the ball in their hands. I really want to watch the Heat and the Thunder play a game. I feel that Li Ze can beat them. After all, the Lakers' perimeter defense can't be restrained. Thinking of the Heat's garbage inside, it feels like the Thunder are sure to win!"
"In the preseason, there was a chance to play against the Heat. As a result, the head coach Spoelstrom was discouraged first, and he didn't let the Big Three play. Thanks to all kinds of climbing over the wall to find a ladder, I saw the game. In the end, I saw the main players scored 5 points. After a few minutes, I feel that Li Ze's body has become stronger!"
"At the World Championships, we saw Durant's big kills, and then think about Li Ze. If China chooses to recruit, we will definitely win a few games, and I guess we can reach the quarterfinals!"
"It's another day of envying Li Ze. My Shakira was completely ruined by Li Ze. Now when I hear the song "Waka Waka", I think of Shakira with pink hair."
"I really don't want to watch Sina's broadcast. Why are Thunder games always on Thursdays?"
Before the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, Thibodeau, who had just taken office, looked at his favorite generals. He was in a good mood. After leaving Doug Reeves, he finally became the master. Live broadcast, but the huge attention also brought him some pressure.
According to the usual practice, the general head coach will send out his own chicken soup for the soul before the game. For example, Rivers likes:
"This is our game! Be aggressive! Let's go!"
The translation of this sentence is: Tonight is our game, play more aggressively, brothers, just do it
However, coach Thibodeau is not very good at making chicken soup, so in the locker room before the game, seeing all the players looking at him, he immediately knocked on the whiteboard with a serious expression, and then said loudly:
"Look, guys, we're playing against an established team, they're in the Western Conference finals, and tonight, we're going to play defense, like we've been training, to contain the defense. Their attack."
"I want to emphasize again, Gibson and Noah, once Lee breaks below the free throw line, one of you must help defend immediately. Durant's screen catch must give him a strong physical confrontation. Rebounds, we have the best offensive player, Derek will solve the transition!"
"I hope everyone can show our vitality in front of the fans. We will use tough defense to win tonight's game!"
"Oh!!"
Compared with the serious locker room atmosphere of the Bulls, the Thunder's locker room is full of laughter. After a hard season, everyone finally came to the national live broadcast. The huge attention made everyone smile.
Excited tortoise even wore a yellow dress tonight, showing off his fashionable atmosphere. Durant also carried his beloved schoolbag, and once again wore his favorite red and green dress .
"Okay guys, this is our first home game of the new season, I'm sure you don't want to disappoint the Oklahoma City fans, we're going to destroy them with our offense, finish it in 1 seconds, protect the rebounds, speed up the game Rhythm! Win tonight!"
"Aw! Wan, spit, break, felling tired!"
The home team was about to play, and the cheerleaders on the scene began to twist their buttocks crazily, and the entire Ford Center Arena was full of noise. When the DJ on the scene began to roar and introduce the players to enter the field, the atmosphere reached a climax.
"Let's welcome Oklahoma City's key man, Thunder superstar, from UCLA, Number 10, Kayce -- LI!"
"Aha!!"
When Li Ze ran out of the player tunnel, all Oklahoma City fans cheered loudly. TNT's commentary team felt the crazy atmosphere and was very surprised. After all, this is just a regular season. The fans are so enthusiastic !
"I'm starting to like Oklahoma City. It's such an atmosphere at home. No wonder the boys can reach the Western Conference Finals. Steve, the Suns also played against the Thunder a few times last season. How do you evaluate this young team? "
As a professional commentator, Mav Albert's job is to lead the two professional commentators around him to complete the game commentary from different angles.
"Talent! Exaggerated talent! This is my first impression of this team. You know, when we played against each other for the first time last season, we lost cleanly. I think the Thunder's perimeter trio is absolutely One of the best perimeter duos in the league."
Reggie Miller heard Steve Kerr's evaluation, and immediately said:
"Through the tempering of the playoffs in the Western Conference, this Thunder team has already left the rookie stage. They have rigorous tactics and play. When the offense is in a stalemate, they can also use the personal abilities of the stars to solve the problem. They have already It can be regarded as a mature Big Three team!"
"I'm already looking forward to the next game! Tom Thibodeau just took office, and he sent the starting lineup for this game: Derrick Rose, Keith Bogans, Luol Deng, Ty Gibson , Joakim Noah."
"The Thunder at home continued their usual starting lineup: Russell Westbrook, Kayce LI, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nenad Kostic, both young team, I like this matchup!"
Taking advantage of the final warm-up of the two teams, Marv Albert introduced the starting lineups of the two sides tonight. Feeling that the atmosphere on the scene was getting hotter, the old host who had commented for many years also showed nostalgia. Reminds him of the NBA in the 90s.
The Thunder team playing at home naturally wears their white jerseys. Li Ze's equipment tonight is all white, from top to bottom, especially the Flow sneakers on his feet, which have attracted the attention of many fans. The style is rare in 10 years.
Li Ze was in a happy mood for the final warm-up. Seeing the tortoise in front of the bench dancing crazily, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This is a live broadcast of you all over the United States. It's a joke.
At this time, the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and the players from both sides also bumped their fists. After Turtle and Rose participated in the World Championships together this year, the relationship has eased a lot, but Rose has always maintained his facial paralysis. , looked extremely cold.
The audience at the Ford Center Arena all stood up at this time, and under the leadership of the home DJ, began to cheer for the home team loudly:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
"Snapped"
Joakim Noah took the lead to jump to the ball for the Bulls. Rose quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, noticing that the Thunder directly put up a 23 zone defense, and immediately signaled Noah to come to the free throw line to respond in the center.
Kostic's defense did not follow too closely. After all, Noah is not Gasol, and the opponent does not have too many mid-range threats. His task in this game is to protect the basket. After all, Rose's breakthrough ability is the Bulls' offense greatest threat.
The Bulls passed the ball a few times, Durant's defense shrunk very little, and Loel Deng on the outside actually got open shots, but he did not choose to shoot directly, but continued to give the ball to Rose.
This is also the tactical arrangement of coach Thibodeau. Give the ball to the strongest player in the team and let it go. The fans in Oklahoma City also help the team defend and cheer:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Relying on Gibson's pick-and-roll, Rose got rid of the entanglement of the tortoise, in and out with his right hand, then changed direction in front of his body, without slowing down while driving, and went straight to the basket, only to find a bunch of people in the penalty area of the Thunder.
Krstic has retracted his defense at this time, and Durant has also temporarily retracted to the paint area. With Jeff Green on his side and Turtle behind him, the Thunder are standing 4 people in the penalty area at this time.
At this time, it is unrealistic to lay up with the tie rod hard, so I can only make a jump pass and throw the ball into the hands of Loel Deng on the outside. After the latter catches the ball, he makes a wide open three-pointer and adjusts , Easy jump shot.
"Bang" hit an iron with anger.
The long rebound bounced right to Li Ze. After receiving the rebound, he immediately pushed up to switch offense. At this time, the Bulls began to frantically return to defense, but Li Ze's dribbling speed was faster.
Keith Bogans on his side tried his best to fight Li Ze physically, but Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand, and then accelerated with the ball in his right hand, throwing off the opponent in an instant.
Ignoring the Bulls players who were desperately chasing and defending, they played 1 and 0 in the frontcourt. Just one step past the free throw line, Li Ze took off directly.
"Kang" converted and dunked successfully.
"Oh!! Kayce slam dunk!"
The elderly commentator, Groom Albert, was half a beat slow in his commentary on this round. Just now, he continued to explain the Bulls' conduction shots. But looking back, Li Ze had already switched to dunk. The old man was a little uncomfortable with the Thunder. fast-paced basketball.
After landing, Li Ze thumped his chest lightly at the camera under the basket, then raised his hands high, signaling that the atmosphere at the scene is up!
"what!!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to cheer for Li Ze's wonderful dunk. This long-distance gliding heavy dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of watching the game.
The Bulls sent out the baseline ball quickly, Rose quickly dribbled across the half court, the Thunder still had a 23-zone defense, Durant's position was not high or low, and he was always in a waist position that could shrink and defend. People, even shrinking in the elbow area on both sides of the free throw line.
This defensive mode makes the Bulls' offense more difficult. Rose's speed of changing direction is very fast, and he can move around in the air, but the Thunder shrinks quickly. Break through the ball and give it to Gibson who is going down.
The latter received the ball and wanted to come up with an overlord. He carried Jeff Green and rushed directly to the basket, but Li Ze had already retreated quickly at this time. This situation is no stranger to the Thunder.
Seeing that Gibson had just taken off and Jeff Green was in front of him, Li Ze rushed up and covered his head and face with a big hat.
"Oh!!"
"what!!"
Seeing that Gibson had been knocked to the ground by Li Zemao, the audience at the scene let out an exclamation next time, and then started screaming, and the Thunder team launched a conversion attack again.
This time the Bulls' retreat was very timely, and Turtle also slowed down in time. Noticing that the Bulls seemed to be man-to-man defense, Loel Deng was entangled with Durant, and immediately made an offensive gesture to his teammates.
Jeff Green immediately cut in from outside the left three-point line, moved along the baseline to the right corner, made a cross screen with Li Ze in the three-second zone, and then relied on Kostic's down screen, Li Ze Ze easily received the ball outside the left three-point line.
Keith Bogans was just in place after chasing the ball. Seeing Li Ze catching the ball, he subconsciously shifted his defensive focus forward. He noticed that the Bulls' defense seemed to be moving to the left. Li Ze quickly released the ball with his left hand and dribbled the ball cross-step Pull back.
As soon as Keith Bogans slid backwards, he felt that Li Ze instantly accelerated his dribbling speed. The crotch of his right hand changed direction very quickly, he exerted force under his feet, and stepped back from outside the three-point line to shoot a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
From receiving the ball to scoring, the whole process was too fast. Keith Bogans was turned into a stake. He subconsciously remembered the scene when the Spurs were defending Li Ze last season.
"Kayce, Step Back, For three! YSE!!"
The Thunder's offensive rhythm is too fast, and the commentator Marv Albert can't help speeding up his speech, shortening some descriptions of the offense on the court. At this time, Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr are a bit out of touch Well, obviously the old man has fallen into stand-up comedy mode
Standing on the sidelines, coach Thibodeau finally realized the helplessness of the Spurs, Mavericks, and Lakers last season. The inside help defense just moved a little, and Li Ze was keenly aware of it. As a result, a three-pointer was withdrawn. .
This is the offensive rhythm of the Thunder team. After a screen is given to Li Ze and Durant, as long as the two feel good, they can easily end the offense within 14 seconds.
In the next few minutes, the Bulls once again paid a heavy price for their constipated shooting. After last season's playoff trip, the Thunder have absolutely learned how to defend the two tower lineup. Gibson and Noah The two fought several times without success.
Rose can easily break through the first line of defense, but in the face of the crazy contraction of the Thunder, in addition to scoring a difficult goal, he missed consecutive layups. Perhaps to maintain his pride, Rose did not choose to touch porcelain. Layup, but failed to get a free throw
This style of play made the Thunder start a crazy conversion attack, which is also the favorite rhythm of the turtle. After Luol Deng hit the iron again, the rebound was protected by Krstic, and then quickly found the turtle, who received the ball , and began to accelerate in a crazy straight line.
Although the Bulls retreated quickly, Guigui charged even harder and overtook another car on the sideline. Taking advantage of the Bulls' unstable defensive position, Guigui cut in from the right and immediately dunked with both hands!
"what!!"
The consecutive dunks and three-pointers after the opening turned the Ford Center Arena into a sea of jubilation. Many fans held up posters of the turtle's head and applauded his dunk loudly.
Coach Thibodeau hurriedly signaled his players to slow down the pace and be patient on offense, but after two rounds of positional warfare, Keith Bogans was depressed to death.
Without the opportunity to change positions, the Thunder chose to give the ball to Li Ze simply and rudely. With the increase in strength, with the addition of [Station Master], it is easier for Li Ze to hold the low position.
Keith Bogans noticed that Li Ze wanted the ball at the waist and wanted to defend in a half-circle, but Li Ze could still catch the ball easily by virtue of his size advantage. After receiving the ball, he pushed his body back Hit, put the ball quickly with the right hand, turn around after closing the ball and make a fallback jump shot.
"Shua" two-pointer hit steadily.
Keith Bogans didn't respond. After Li Ze hit hard, he was completely out of position, and then he could only watch the shot. From receiving the ball to shooting, he completed the attack in less than 5 seconds.
"Oh my god, what a play!!"
The commentator Mav Arbat exclaimed directly when he saw Li Ze complete a wonderful fadeaway jumper.
The old man really seldom watched Thunder games in full last season, and Kevin Harlan was the commentator for several games in the playoffs.
The Bulls' offense was constipated, but the Thunder's offense became smoother and smoother. Durant also started his own performance, catching the ball after a screen, dribbling the ball behind his back suddenly while on the move, and then ignoring the defense and shooting a jumper.
"Shua" two-pointer hollow into the net.
After Durant scored three times in a row with such an offense, Thibodeau once again requested a timeout. At this time, there were 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter. He felt that the team's defense was collapsing, and the Thunder did not attack the inside. , they shot the Bulls with precise outside shots.
But the timeout can't solve the Bulls' perimeter problem. After the end of the first quarter, at 1:22, the main players of the Bulls had only one feeling at this time:
"Tired! Destroy."
Derrick Rose sat on the bench without saying a word. All the ambitions before the game were shattered by one game. He felt that the two sides did not seem to be playing the same kind of basketball. Why did the Thunder score so easily? !
And after the rotation lineup came on the field in the second quarter, coach Thibodeau was completely confused.
The Thunder still use Li Ze as the No. 1 position, Sefolosha, Jeff Green, Ibaka, and Collison appear on the stage, while the Bulls send Derrick Rose, CJ Watson, and Kyle Kerr. Wall, Ronnie Brewer, Joakim Noah.
In the second quarter, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking. Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court, saw Ronnie Brewer in front of him, and made a gesture to his teammates, indicating that there was no need for a pick-and-roll.
Li Ze sent the ball forward with his left hand seemingly casually, lowered his body's center of gravity, pulled the ball sharply with his right hand, and adjusted his footsteps. A huge Sam Gould broke through the defense in an instant. Jokinoah reacted quickly and immediately retract.
But the marching Li Ze's right hand suddenly in and out, and then changed direction very quickly in front of his body, quickly combined the ball, dodged Noah who was helping to defend, twisted his body and made a backhand dunk!
After the "kuang" breakthrough, the reflexive dunk was successful.
"OH!! That's unbelievable!"
Obviously, the commentator on the sidelines, Marv Albert, didn't keep up with Li Ze's breakthrough rhythm, and he could only scream after seeing the goal.
In the offense of the Bulls, Derrick Rose immediately found that Li Ze's defense was more aggressive, and he rarely swayed. [Ankle Brace] + [Iron Wall] + [Death Coil] + [Defensive Deterrence] made Li Ze's defense dense airtight.
Ross is obviously not Kobe. Although he is faster, he is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Even if he throws off Li Ze's defense with the pick-and-roll, facing Ibaka who quickly assisted in the defense, he hit the basket again with a tossing layup. out.
After Collison received the rebound, he immediately made a pass to find Li Ze. The Thunder immediately launched a transition attack. Everyone quickly rushed across the opponent's half, and the Bulls quickly retreated.
On the way, Li Ze made a confusing pass with his right hand. Brewer subconsciously diverted his defensive attention, and saw the ball return to Li Ze's hands, and Li Ze slowed down outside the three-point line. Brewer quickly posted on the defense.
When Li Ze saw the opponent's defense, he held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through. Then he dribbled behind his back, noticing that Brewer's defensive center of gravity moved forward, and instantly changed his dribbling rhythm.
With a quick twist of the body, the left hand quickly changed the direction of the crotch, and the right hand held the ball at full speed, easily passing the defense.
When Joakim Noah on the inside realized that the outside defense had lost his position, he saw that Li Ze had already jumped with both feet, quickly lifted into the air, and then succeeded in a dunk with one arm!
"Wonderful dunk! God, Kayce's speed from getting rid of the defense to finishing the offense is so fast, Noah can only watch him complete the dunk!"
Reggie Miller noticed that the old man failed to keep up with Li Ze's offensive rhythm, so he hurriedly added something.
"Coach Thibodeau made a wrong use of people. To defend Kayce, it is definitely not enough to rely on an insider. Brewer is not an excellent outside defender. The Bulls let the Thunder's offense play too easily. Offense is the Thunder's favorite rhythm."
Steve Kerr saw that Li Ze was crazy on the court, and immediately followed up. The Thunder's offensive rhythm is too fast. Obviously, Kevin Harlan is more suitable to explain such a game. Groom Albert After all, I am almost 70 years old, and my reaction is much slower.
But then, Groom Albert's commentary kept up.
"Kayce, from downtown!"
"Kayce, Another three from downtown!"
"Kayce, Fadeaway, YES!!"
In the second quarter, Li Ze had a personal wave, scoring 2 points in a single quarter, which completely ended the suspense of the game. In less than half a quarter, the Thunder had already led by 12 points.
The audience at the Ford Center Arena was completely crazy. In less than 4 minutes, the ultimate personal offensive performance. Coach Thibodeau stood expressionless on the sidelines. This situation was completely beyond his expectations. ?How did it collapse.
"Cool! Kayce, we must destroy Derrick Rose. This guy ruined my college basketball career. In the NBA, we will completely destroy him!"
Guigui had already thrown away two towels on the bench. Taking advantage of the timeout, he excitedly yelled at Li Ze. He wanted to go on the field right now and beat Rose violently with Li Ze.
"Can we score more than 130 points in this game! I like the national live broadcast! The atmosphere at the scene is great! Now all the fans may get to know us well!"
Durant is also completely happy. When he thinks of Derek Rose, who is raging and popular in the national live broadcast, Durant is in a happy mood. His jersey can't sell Ross. book on
"Got to blow them up! Guys, let's keep firing from the perimeter and blow up the Bulls with [-]s!"
Li Ze also yelled, "Head coach Thibodeau dared to join the small lineup. No wonder he was there. It was broadcast live across the United States, and he would not show mercy. This is the opening game of the Thunder, and the main players must play for 4 quarters!"
Head coach Brooks could no longer speak at this time, and the scene had become uncontrollable. Coupled with the crazy yelling of the fans in Oklahoma City, the head coach Brooks felt faintly in his heart that after this game, he might be defeated by Xibo. Coach Du has been blacklisted
In the next game, amidst the crazy cheers of the home fans, everyone in the Thunder team was fully fired. The first game of the new season was broadcast live across the United States. !
By the halfway point of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 3 points. The Bulls' outside line hadn't improved, and they were still hitting the iron like crazy. The referee saw that the Thunder were not willing to show mercy, so they had to start blowing some control whistles. Cool down the place.
The three people in the TNT commentary booth can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Thunder's stormy offense doesn't have much to analyze.
Groom-Albert is the busiest, fast-paced offense, so that the old man frequently praises loudly, and all kinds of YES are also dry mouthed
At 4 minutes and 5 seconds into the 24th quarter, the referee began to signal to coach Brooks frequently that the official timeout should be replaced quickly!The stubborn Thibodeau is still slamming the main force at this time, and at this time he can only let the Thunder take the lead in making substitutions.
Head coach Brooks was reminded and immediately carried out a personnel rotation. After the atmosphere team entered the field one after another, the fiery atmosphere in the Ford Center Arena gradually returned to calm.
Derrick Rose was also replaced. In this game, he only scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers. A large number of shots were all ironed out. The Thunder made a targeted defense against him.
Covering his head with a towel, Rose didn't want his teammates to see his disappointed expression. He sat silently on the bench without saying a word. The other main players were also depressed. The gap was too great.
Li Ze is looking at the technical statistics at this time, 18 of 14, including 7 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 33 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He scored the highest score in the game. He is in a good mood!Straight to a tactical back
Durant scored 28 points, Turtle scored 24 points, and the Thunder team scored 85 points again. The three sat on the bench and began to wave the towel for the atmosphere group.
The players who came off the bench also worked extremely hard. Everyone wanted to show off in the live broadcast across the United States, so naturally they would not show mercy.
In the end, at 96:128, the Thunder beat the Bulls in the first national live broadcast at home. The Oklahoma City fans were already in high spirits. This is the performance of the Big Three that everyone wants to see!
After the game, Li Ze, who got the highest score in the game, was interviewed by the famous TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager. Seeing that the other party was wearing a blue and white plaid suit, Li Ze immediately smiled and praised:
"Wow! Mr. Sage, such a matching color suit is hard to find, this suit is very suitable for you, thank you for supporting the Thunder!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Kayce, I actually wanted to interview you last season, but your live broadcasts were too few."
"You did a good job tonight! Haha, Albert's commentary can't even keep up with your offensive rhythm. Such a nationwide live broadcast is absolutely impressive!"
"We all know you, so I won't talk about polite words. Last season, you won the best rookie, was selected as an All-Star, and entered the best second team. Let's talk about your goals for this season!"
Craig Sager has naturally heard TNT colleagues’ comments on Li Ze. Don’t ask him about the game. If you ask him, it’s about team friendliness, coaching, and logging. Just ask some sensitive questions. Li Ze The answers never disappoint.
"The goal of the new season? I have to admit that this season's situation is completely beyond my expectations. You know, the East Heat team has formed a new Big Three, and the teams in the West have also been reinforced, but I The goal has never changed!"
"There is only one championship, and there is only one MVP. Why not me? I will try my best to fight for the championship. I will do my best to help the team achieve a better record, and then get the MVP. This is my goal for the new season. !"
Craig Sager was a little surprised when he heard Li Ze's words, then he laughed and said immediately:
"That's right! I like a confident guy, Kayce, I will pay attention to your performance, go enjoy the victory, Oklahoma City fans are waiting anxiously, thank you for accepting my interview!"
Seeing that the camera had moved away, Craig Sager whispered to Li Ze again:
"I may write some reports, rest assured, we all support you! There will be absolutely no problems with the article."
As soon as Li Ze heard it, he knew that the other party was going to make up some news topics, but he didn't care about it. This was also the tacit understanding between him and the media reporters.
"Don't worry about writing. I'm very happy to read your article. I thank the TNT reporters for voting for me last season. The league doesn't like players and reporters getting close. Thank you for the opportunity!"
Craig Sager patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and everything was unspoken.
The game was broadcast live across the United States, and TNT's post-match comments were also very quick. The host Ernie Johnson also laughed when he heard Li Ze's interview, and then asked about Kenny Smith on the left.
"Hearing Kayce's words, what do you want to say? This is a game beyond our expectations, and the Thunder won too easily!"
"I like Kayce's performance. He is right. There is only one MVP. Why not him? The Thunder are a better team. Coach Thibodeau still needs to solve the Bulls' outside shooting problem."
Charles Barkley heard the conversation between the two and immediately interjected:
"I'm starting to look forward to the match between the Heat and the Thunder. Who is the real Big Three team? I really want to see the matchup between the two sides right away!"
"The good news is that we have the rights to broadcast that game. The bad news is that we have to wait for a while. Maybe we were all wrong in the offseason. The Thunder are already a Big Three team!"
The host Ernie Johnson almost laughed out loud when he thought of the huge traffic brought by the Big Three matchup. TNT's cable TV subscriptions will definitely increase a lot this season.
Huge exposure means huge traffic. On Reddit, the Thunder team’s traffic surged at this time. Many fans watched the Thunder’s regular season for the first time, which is different from the playoffs they saw before. , The Thunder's style of play in the regular season is even more explosive and gorgeous.
"God! When I was watching the game, I thought there was a broadcast accident. Albert's commentary was obviously not right for the situation on the field. Li's performance was too crazy. He is almost omnipotent."
"I really want to go to Oklahoma City to watch the game live. I can feel the atmosphere from the broadcast. It is really crazy. The Thunder destroyed the Bulls with their offense!"
"I like Kayce's style of play. He can shoot from anywhere on the court. He is more comfortable than last season. Thanks again to Presti for bringing him back to the Thunder."
"Guys, did you notice the white sneakers on Li's feet? I've never seen anything like that!"
"Keds actually make basketball shoes, God, I want to buy a pair, the shoes look really good."
At this time, Li Ze returned to his mansion in Oklahoma City, saw the discussion post on Reddit, smiled in his heart, picked up his mobile phone, and directly posted a handsome photo of himself on the INS that was officially launched in September:
"Thanks to all the Oklahoma City fans, perfect game, the Thunder are tired and come on!"
Li Ze put his own Flow sneakers in the most conspicuous place of the photo, thinking of cutting a lot of leeks in the future, he felt very happy:
"Playing with the ball and taking the goods with you! This is what a superstar should do!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
Unexpectedly, today the static management, almost can not go home.
After tossing until now, I just finished my meal QAQ
In the new season, I will speed up the pace, and the games broadcast live across the United States will be more detailed.
After the foreshadowing of last season, the Welfare Bureau will briefly write it later!
(End of this chapter)
On October 10, the Thunder also ushered in their season debut, and they will face the Chicago Bulls at home.
Unlike the Thunder, although the Bulls failed to seduce the chosen son LeBron James during the offseason, resulting in the failure of the Big Three plan, the entire uniform team still made some targeted reinforcements.
The Bulls signed Carlos Boozer, the famous 5-year-old in the NBA, for 8000 million U.S. dollars in five years. However, there seems to be some problems with this contract. Carlos Boozer did not wait until the regular season started. facing injury problems
Although the Bulls sent away Kirk Hinrich, in order to improve the problem of outside shooting constipation, they signed Keith Bogans, CJ Watson, Kyle Korver, Ronnie - Brewer.
Coupled with the head coach Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls plan to do a big job this season, and the roses in the Windy City are about to bloom!
The biggest difference between the national live broadcast and the local live broadcast is that there are more media cameras. After getting off the parking lot, there are photographers following all the way to shoot. Li Ze's dress tonight is simple and casual.
Dark blue jeans, black high-top Keds canvas shoes, and a black hooded sweater casually on the upper body. The slightly long hair has been taken care of by the designer, and it is simply grabbed twice casually. The photogenic effect is absolutely excellent.
"Whoa! Is this what it's like to be a big star? Cool! I love live streaming across America!"
Li Ze cheered funnyly at the camera, making the surrounding staff burst into laughter. From entering the arena, Li Ze and every staff member bumped their fists to greet each other. They also gave warm hugs to the Thunder team reporters.
"Come on! Kayce, as long as you perform well, we will put you in the best team this season!"
When Li Ze heard the blessing from his own reporter, he immediately responded with a smile:
"Thank you for your support. It's a pity that the league has regulations that don't allow you to accept any gifts from players, otherwise I will definitely give you a big gift!"
"Haha, a Keds membership card is enough, Kayce, come on tonight, TNT has a good lineup of casters, we must make a good impression on them."
"Don't worry! Victory belongs to us!"
If you want to do well in the NBA, media reporters must not offend easily, especially your own team reporters. Everyone is a member of the team. As long as they get along happily, they will definitely vote for the star players in the team.
Li Ze was able to enter the best second team with such a low exposure rate last season. The Thunder's team reporters have contributed a lot, and the reporters of TNT and ESPN have also contributed a lot.
NBA reporters actually like Li Ze very much. As long as there is no gossip about players in the locker room, Li Ze's interview answers are particularly topical.
In addition, Li Ze allowed them to arrange the news at will, and everyone carried the sedan chair. As long as the data is enough, it is not difficult to enter the best team!
When he came to the locker room and changed his equipment, Li Ze entered the Ford Center Arena and started to warm up. He noticed the TNT commentary team Reggie Miller, Steve Kerr, and Marv Albert on the sidelines. Say hello before.
"Wow! Reggie, is this your new partner? Steve, great to see you in the commentary booth! Mr. Albert, you have always been my favorite commentator!"
When Reggie Miller heard Li Ze's words, he immediately stepped forward to hug him, and at the same time introduced Li Ze:
"Steve will probably stay with me for the next few years until he finds a coaching job. As for the groom, I don't need to introduce too much. He is the best live host on TNT!"
"Li, your performance last season was great. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to cooperate with you once. Last season, you made us at a loss on the defensive end. You really reminded me of Michael. Come on tonight's game!"
Steve Kerr also immediately hugged Li Ze, and at the same time, the groom Albert on the side also said in his own exaggerated tone:
"Oh! You are much more handsome than I saw in the episodes. I like young people with energy! Be good tonight, I won't hold back!"
"Haha, maybe you can say yes a few more times tonight, Oklahoma City fans will definitely fall in love with your commentary!"
What Li Ze said was not a complete compliment. Groom Albert, known as "The Voice of Basketball", has a very recognizable voice. Fans who like English commentary must have heard him explain Kobe's game:
"Kobe for the win, YES!!"
"Back to Kobe, YES!!"
The unique Yes tone will definitely impress people. Although groom Albert is 69 years old, he is still working in the first-line commentary position.
This is the national live broadcast. From the commentary to the broadcast to the game, every link has a huge exposure. As a business alliance, the star-making movement is definitely a well-established business. President David Stern obviously wants to make the Thunder The team leads to the front desk, the Big Three, the favorites of the league!
Li Ze always warms up half an hour earlier, but at this time Ford Center Arena has started to let fans enter the arena one after another. As the first game of the new season, Oklahoma City fans have been looking forward to it for a long time. The game is really not fun, the opponent can't help but fight.
Feeling the increasingly fiery atmosphere in the arena, Li Ze became more and more happy, which is in line with the status of an All-Star player!
On the other side of the ocean, many fans are looking forward to it. The performance of the Heat's Big Three yesterday did not meet the expectations of the fans. In addition, Dayao's two-point loss to the Lakers also made everyone feel unhappy.
On the Hupu forum, the recent Komis have completely gone to the sky. With 5 crowns in hand, no one is an opponent of Komis. I am in a hurry. Let me just say, the fact that the volute has 5 crowns, the iron-like fact also makes its fans They were speechless.
"Let's start the game quickly! I've been waiting for several months, and if I don't see Li Ze playing for a day, I feel bad all over!"
"Those who raved about James in the past two months? They were blown away by the old Big Three. I laughed to death. James just can't do it."
"Hey, Wade is obviously uncomfortable playing. Both of them are used to having the ball in their hands. I really want to watch the Heat and the Thunder play a game. I feel that Li Ze can beat them. After all, the Lakers' perimeter defense can't be restrained. Thinking of the Heat's garbage inside, it feels like the Thunder are sure to win!"
"In the preseason, there was a chance to play against the Heat. As a result, the head coach Spoelstrom was discouraged first, and he didn't let the Big Three play. Thanks to all kinds of climbing over the wall to find a ladder, I saw the game. In the end, I saw the main players scored 5 points. After a few minutes, I feel that Li Ze's body has become stronger!"
"At the World Championships, we saw Durant's big kills, and then think about Li Ze. If China chooses to recruit, we will definitely win a few games, and I guess we can reach the quarterfinals!"
"It's another day of envying Li Ze. My Shakira was completely ruined by Li Ze. Now when I hear the song "Waka Waka", I think of Shakira with pink hair."
"I really don't want to watch Sina's broadcast. Why are Thunder games always on Thursdays?"
Before the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, Thibodeau, who had just taken office, looked at his favorite generals. He was in a good mood. After leaving Doug Reeves, he finally became the master. Live broadcast, but the huge attention also brought him some pressure.
According to the usual practice, the general head coach will send out his own chicken soup for the soul before the game. For example, Rivers likes:
"This is our game! Be aggressive! Let's go!"
The translation of this sentence is: Tonight is our game, play more aggressively, brothers, just do it
However, coach Thibodeau is not very good at making chicken soup, so in the locker room before the game, seeing all the players looking at him, he immediately knocked on the whiteboard with a serious expression, and then said loudly:
"Look, guys, we're playing against an established team, they're in the Western Conference finals, and tonight, we're going to play defense, like we've been training, to contain the defense. Their attack."
"I want to emphasize again, Gibson and Noah, once Lee breaks below the free throw line, one of you must help defend immediately. Durant's screen catch must give him a strong physical confrontation. Rebounds, we have the best offensive player, Derek will solve the transition!"
"I hope everyone can show our vitality in front of the fans. We will use tough defense to win tonight's game!"
"Oh!!"
Compared with the serious locker room atmosphere of the Bulls, the Thunder's locker room is full of laughter. After a hard season, everyone finally came to the national live broadcast. The huge attention made everyone smile.
Excited tortoise even wore a yellow dress tonight, showing off his fashionable atmosphere. Durant also carried his beloved schoolbag, and once again wore his favorite red and green dress .
"Okay guys, this is our first home game of the new season, I'm sure you don't want to disappoint the Oklahoma City fans, we're going to destroy them with our offense, finish it in 1 seconds, protect the rebounds, speed up the game Rhythm! Win tonight!"
"Aw! Wan, spit, break, felling tired!"
The home team was about to play, and the cheerleaders on the scene began to twist their buttocks crazily, and the entire Ford Center Arena was full of noise. When the DJ on the scene began to roar and introduce the players to enter the field, the atmosphere reached a climax.
"Let's welcome Oklahoma City's key man, Thunder superstar, from UCLA, Number 10, Kayce -- LI!"
"Aha!!"
When Li Ze ran out of the player tunnel, all Oklahoma City fans cheered loudly. TNT's commentary team felt the crazy atmosphere and was very surprised. After all, this is just a regular season. The fans are so enthusiastic !
"I'm starting to like Oklahoma City. It's such an atmosphere at home. No wonder the boys can reach the Western Conference Finals. Steve, the Suns also played against the Thunder a few times last season. How do you evaluate this young team? "
As a professional commentator, Mav Albert's job is to lead the two professional commentators around him to complete the game commentary from different angles.
"Talent! Exaggerated talent! This is my first impression of this team. You know, when we played against each other for the first time last season, we lost cleanly. I think the Thunder's perimeter trio is absolutely One of the best perimeter duos in the league."
Reggie Miller heard Steve Kerr's evaluation, and immediately said:
"Through the tempering of the playoffs in the Western Conference, this Thunder team has already left the rookie stage. They have rigorous tactics and play. When the offense is in a stalemate, they can also use the personal abilities of the stars to solve the problem. They have already It can be regarded as a mature Big Three team!"
"I'm already looking forward to the next game! Tom Thibodeau just took office, and he sent the starting lineup for this game: Derrick Rose, Keith Bogans, Luol Deng, Ty Gibson , Joakim Noah."
"The Thunder at home continued their usual starting lineup: Russell Westbrook, Kayce LI, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nenad Kostic, both young team, I like this matchup!"
Taking advantage of the final warm-up of the two teams, Marv Albert introduced the starting lineups of the two sides tonight. Feeling that the atmosphere on the scene was getting hotter, the old host who had commented for many years also showed nostalgia. Reminds him of the NBA in the 90s.
The Thunder team playing at home naturally wears their white jerseys. Li Ze's equipment tonight is all white, from top to bottom, especially the Flow sneakers on his feet, which have attracted the attention of many fans. The style is rare in 10 years.
Li Ze was in a happy mood for the final warm-up. Seeing the tortoise in front of the bench dancing crazily, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This is a live broadcast of you all over the United States. It's a joke.
At this time, the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, and the players from both sides also bumped their fists. After Turtle and Rose participated in the World Championships together this year, the relationship has eased a lot, but Rose has always maintained his facial paralysis. , looked extremely cold.
The audience at the Ford Center Arena all stood up at this time, and under the leadership of the home DJ, began to cheer for the home team loudly:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
"Snapped"
Joakim Noah took the lead to jump to the ball for the Bulls. Rose quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, noticing that the Thunder directly put up a 23 zone defense, and immediately signaled Noah to come to the free throw line to respond in the center.
Kostic's defense did not follow too closely. After all, Noah is not Gasol, and the opponent does not have too many mid-range threats. His task in this game is to protect the basket. After all, Rose's breakthrough ability is the Bulls' offense greatest threat.
The Bulls passed the ball a few times, Durant's defense shrunk very little, and Loel Deng on the outside actually got open shots, but he did not choose to shoot directly, but continued to give the ball to Rose.
This is also the tactical arrangement of coach Thibodeau. Give the ball to the strongest player in the team and let it go. The fans in Oklahoma City also help the team defend and cheer:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Relying on Gibson's pick-and-roll, Rose got rid of the entanglement of the tortoise, in and out with his right hand, then changed direction in front of his body, without slowing down while driving, and went straight to the basket, only to find a bunch of people in the penalty area of the Thunder.
Krstic has retracted his defense at this time, and Durant has also temporarily retracted to the paint area. With Jeff Green on his side and Turtle behind him, the Thunder are standing 4 people in the penalty area at this time.
At this time, it is unrealistic to lay up with the tie rod hard, so I can only make a jump pass and throw the ball into the hands of Loel Deng on the outside. After the latter catches the ball, he makes a wide open three-pointer and adjusts , Easy jump shot.
"Bang" hit an iron with anger.
The long rebound bounced right to Li Ze. After receiving the rebound, he immediately pushed up to switch offense. At this time, the Bulls began to frantically return to defense, but Li Ze's dribbling speed was faster.
Keith Bogans on his side tried his best to fight Li Ze physically, but Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand, and then accelerated with the ball in his right hand, throwing off the opponent in an instant.
Ignoring the Bulls players who were desperately chasing and defending, they played 1 and 0 in the frontcourt. Just one step past the free throw line, Li Ze took off directly.
"Kang" converted and dunked successfully.
"Oh!! Kayce slam dunk!"
The elderly commentator, Groom Albert, was half a beat slow in his commentary on this round. Just now, he continued to explain the Bulls' conduction shots. But looking back, Li Ze had already switched to dunk. The old man was a little uncomfortable with the Thunder. fast-paced basketball.
After landing, Li Ze thumped his chest lightly at the camera under the basket, then raised his hands high, signaling that the atmosphere at the scene is up!
"what!!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to cheer for Li Ze's wonderful dunk. This long-distance gliding heavy dunk directly ignited the atmosphere of watching the game.
The Bulls sent out the baseline ball quickly, Rose quickly dribbled across the half court, the Thunder still had a 23-zone defense, Durant's position was not high or low, and he was always in a waist position that could shrink and defend. People, even shrinking in the elbow area on both sides of the free throw line.
This defensive mode makes the Bulls' offense more difficult. Rose's speed of changing direction is very fast, and he can move around in the air, but the Thunder shrinks quickly. Break through the ball and give it to Gibson who is going down.
The latter received the ball and wanted to come up with an overlord. He carried Jeff Green and rushed directly to the basket, but Li Ze had already retreated quickly at this time. This situation is no stranger to the Thunder.
Seeing that Gibson had just taken off and Jeff Green was in front of him, Li Ze rushed up and covered his head and face with a big hat.
"Oh!!"
"what!!"
Seeing that Gibson had been knocked to the ground by Li Zemao, the audience at the scene let out an exclamation next time, and then started screaming, and the Thunder team launched a conversion attack again.
This time the Bulls' retreat was very timely, and Turtle also slowed down in time. Noticing that the Bulls seemed to be man-to-man defense, Loel Deng was entangled with Durant, and immediately made an offensive gesture to his teammates.
Jeff Green immediately cut in from outside the left three-point line, moved along the baseline to the right corner, made a cross screen with Li Ze in the three-second zone, and then relied on Kostic's down screen, Li Ze Ze easily received the ball outside the left three-point line.
Keith Bogans was just in place after chasing the ball. Seeing Li Ze catching the ball, he subconsciously shifted his defensive focus forward. He noticed that the Bulls' defense seemed to be moving to the left. Li Ze quickly released the ball with his left hand and dribbled the ball cross-step Pull back.
As soon as Keith Bogans slid backwards, he felt that Li Ze instantly accelerated his dribbling speed. The crotch of his right hand changed direction very quickly, he exerted force under his feet, and stepped back from outside the three-point line to shoot a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
From receiving the ball to scoring, the whole process was too fast. Keith Bogans was turned into a stake. He subconsciously remembered the scene when the Spurs were defending Li Ze last season.
"Kayce, Step Back, For three! YSE!!"
The Thunder's offensive rhythm is too fast, and the commentator Marv Albert can't help speeding up his speech, shortening some descriptions of the offense on the court. At this time, Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr are a bit out of touch Well, obviously the old man has fallen into stand-up comedy mode
Standing on the sidelines, coach Thibodeau finally realized the helplessness of the Spurs, Mavericks, and Lakers last season. The inside help defense just moved a little, and Li Ze was keenly aware of it. As a result, a three-pointer was withdrawn. .
This is the offensive rhythm of the Thunder team. After a screen is given to Li Ze and Durant, as long as the two feel good, they can easily end the offense within 14 seconds.
In the next few minutes, the Bulls once again paid a heavy price for their constipated shooting. After last season's playoff trip, the Thunder have absolutely learned how to defend the two tower lineup. Gibson and Noah The two fought several times without success.
Rose can easily break through the first line of defense, but in the face of the crazy contraction of the Thunder, in addition to scoring a difficult goal, he missed consecutive layups. Perhaps to maintain his pride, Rose did not choose to touch porcelain. Layup, but failed to get a free throw
This style of play made the Thunder start a crazy conversion attack, which is also the favorite rhythm of the turtle. After Luol Deng hit the iron again, the rebound was protected by Krstic, and then quickly found the turtle, who received the ball , and began to accelerate in a crazy straight line.
Although the Bulls retreated quickly, Guigui charged even harder and overtook another car on the sideline. Taking advantage of the Bulls' unstable defensive position, Guigui cut in from the right and immediately dunked with both hands!
"what!!"
The consecutive dunks and three-pointers after the opening turned the Ford Center Arena into a sea of jubilation. Many fans held up posters of the turtle's head and applauded his dunk loudly.
Coach Thibodeau hurriedly signaled his players to slow down the pace and be patient on offense, but after two rounds of positional warfare, Keith Bogans was depressed to death.
Without the opportunity to change positions, the Thunder chose to give the ball to Li Ze simply and rudely. With the increase in strength, with the addition of [Station Master], it is easier for Li Ze to hold the low position.
Keith Bogans noticed that Li Ze wanted the ball at the waist and wanted to defend in a half-circle, but Li Ze could still catch the ball easily by virtue of his size advantage. After receiving the ball, he pushed his body back Hit, put the ball quickly with the right hand, turn around after closing the ball and make a fallback jump shot.
"Shua" two-pointer hit steadily.
Keith Bogans didn't respond. After Li Ze hit hard, he was completely out of position, and then he could only watch the shot. From receiving the ball to shooting, he completed the attack in less than 5 seconds.
"Oh my god, what a play!!"
The commentator Mav Arbat exclaimed directly when he saw Li Ze complete a wonderful fadeaway jumper.
The old man really seldom watched Thunder games in full last season, and Kevin Harlan was the commentator for several games in the playoffs.
The Bulls' offense was constipated, but the Thunder's offense became smoother and smoother. Durant also started his own performance, catching the ball after a screen, dribbling the ball behind his back suddenly while on the move, and then ignoring the defense and shooting a jumper.
"Shua" two-pointer hollow into the net.
After Durant scored three times in a row with such an offense, Thibodeau once again requested a timeout. At this time, there were 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter. He felt that the team's defense was collapsing, and the Thunder did not attack the inside. , they shot the Bulls with precise outside shots.
But the timeout can't solve the Bulls' perimeter problem. After the end of the first quarter, at 1:22, the main players of the Bulls had only one feeling at this time:
"Tired! Destroy."
Derrick Rose sat on the bench without saying a word. All the ambitions before the game were shattered by one game. He felt that the two sides did not seem to be playing the same kind of basketball. Why did the Thunder score so easily? !
And after the rotation lineup came on the field in the second quarter, coach Thibodeau was completely confused.
The Thunder still use Li Ze as the No. 1 position, Sefolosha, Jeff Green, Ibaka, and Collison appear on the stage, while the Bulls send Derrick Rose, CJ Watson, and Kyle Kerr. Wall, Ronnie Brewer, Joakim Noah.
In the second quarter, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking. Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court, saw Ronnie Brewer in front of him, and made a gesture to his teammates, indicating that there was no need for a pick-and-roll.
Li Ze sent the ball forward with his left hand seemingly casually, lowered his body's center of gravity, pulled the ball sharply with his right hand, and adjusted his footsteps. A huge Sam Gould broke through the defense in an instant. Jokinoah reacted quickly and immediately retract.
But the marching Li Ze's right hand suddenly in and out, and then changed direction very quickly in front of his body, quickly combined the ball, dodged Noah who was helping to defend, twisted his body and made a backhand dunk!
After the "kuang" breakthrough, the reflexive dunk was successful.
"OH!! That's unbelievable!"
Obviously, the commentator on the sidelines, Marv Albert, didn't keep up with Li Ze's breakthrough rhythm, and he could only scream after seeing the goal.
In the offense of the Bulls, Derrick Rose immediately found that Li Ze's defense was more aggressive, and he rarely swayed. [Ankle Brace] + [Iron Wall] + [Death Coil] + [Defensive Deterrence] made Li Ze's defense dense airtight.
Ross is obviously not Kobe. Although he is faster, he is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Even if he throws off Li Ze's defense with the pick-and-roll, facing Ibaka who quickly assisted in the defense, he hit the basket again with a tossing layup. out.
After Collison received the rebound, he immediately made a pass to find Li Ze. The Thunder immediately launched a transition attack. Everyone quickly rushed across the opponent's half, and the Bulls quickly retreated.
On the way, Li Ze made a confusing pass with his right hand. Brewer subconsciously diverted his defensive attention, and saw the ball return to Li Ze's hands, and Li Ze slowed down outside the three-point line. Brewer quickly posted on the defense.
When Li Ze saw the opponent's defense, he held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through. Then he dribbled behind his back, noticing that Brewer's defensive center of gravity moved forward, and instantly changed his dribbling rhythm.
With a quick twist of the body, the left hand quickly changed the direction of the crotch, and the right hand held the ball at full speed, easily passing the defense.
When Joakim Noah on the inside realized that the outside defense had lost his position, he saw that Li Ze had already jumped with both feet, quickly lifted into the air, and then succeeded in a dunk with one arm!
"Wonderful dunk! God, Kayce's speed from getting rid of the defense to finishing the offense is so fast, Noah can only watch him complete the dunk!"
Reggie Miller noticed that the old man failed to keep up with Li Ze's offensive rhythm, so he hurriedly added something.
"Coach Thibodeau made a wrong use of people. To defend Kayce, it is definitely not enough to rely on an insider. Brewer is not an excellent outside defender. The Bulls let the Thunder's offense play too easily. Offense is the Thunder's favorite rhythm."
Steve Kerr saw that Li Ze was crazy on the court, and immediately followed up. The Thunder's offensive rhythm is too fast. Obviously, Kevin Harlan is more suitable to explain such a game. Groom Albert After all, I am almost 70 years old, and my reaction is much slower.
But then, Groom Albert's commentary kept up.
"Kayce, from downtown!"
"Kayce, Another three from downtown!"
"Kayce, Fadeaway, YES!!"
In the second quarter, Li Ze had a personal wave, scoring 2 points in a single quarter, which completely ended the suspense of the game. In less than half a quarter, the Thunder had already led by 12 points.
The audience at the Ford Center Arena was completely crazy. In less than 4 minutes, the ultimate personal offensive performance. Coach Thibodeau stood expressionless on the sidelines. This situation was completely beyond his expectations. ?How did it collapse.
"Cool! Kayce, we must destroy Derrick Rose. This guy ruined my college basketball career. In the NBA, we will completely destroy him!"
Guigui had already thrown away two towels on the bench. Taking advantage of the timeout, he excitedly yelled at Li Ze. He wanted to go on the field right now and beat Rose violently with Li Ze.
"Can we score more than 130 points in this game! I like the national live broadcast! The atmosphere at the scene is great! Now all the fans may get to know us well!"
Durant is also completely happy. When he thinks of Derek Rose, who is raging and popular in the national live broadcast, Durant is in a happy mood. His jersey can't sell Ross. book on
"Got to blow them up! Guys, let's keep firing from the perimeter and blow up the Bulls with [-]s!"
Li Ze also yelled, "Head coach Thibodeau dared to join the small lineup. No wonder he was there. It was broadcast live across the United States, and he would not show mercy. This is the opening game of the Thunder, and the main players must play for 4 quarters!"
Head coach Brooks could no longer speak at this time, and the scene had become uncontrollable. Coupled with the crazy yelling of the fans in Oklahoma City, the head coach Brooks felt faintly in his heart that after this game, he might be defeated by Xibo. Coach Du has been blacklisted
In the next game, amidst the crazy cheers of the home fans, everyone in the Thunder team was fully fired. The first game of the new season was broadcast live across the United States. !
By the halfway point of the third quarter, the point difference had reached 3 points. The Bulls' outside line hadn't improved, and they were still hitting the iron like crazy. The referee saw that the Thunder were not willing to show mercy, so they had to start blowing some control whistles. Cool down the place.
The three people in the TNT commentary booth can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Thunder's stormy offense doesn't have much to analyze.
Groom-Albert is the busiest, fast-paced offense, so that the old man frequently praises loudly, and all kinds of YES are also dry mouthed
At 4 minutes and 5 seconds into the 24th quarter, the referee began to signal to coach Brooks frequently that the official timeout should be replaced quickly!The stubborn Thibodeau is still slamming the main force at this time, and at this time he can only let the Thunder take the lead in making substitutions.
Head coach Brooks was reminded and immediately carried out a personnel rotation. After the atmosphere team entered the field one after another, the fiery atmosphere in the Ford Center Arena gradually returned to calm.
Derrick Rose was also replaced. In this game, he only scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 turnovers. A large number of shots were all ironed out. The Thunder made a targeted defense against him.
Covering his head with a towel, Rose didn't want his teammates to see his disappointed expression. He sat silently on the bench without saying a word. The other main players were also depressed. The gap was too great.
Li Ze is looking at the technical statistics at this time, 18 of 14, including 7 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 33 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He scored the highest score in the game. He is in a good mood!Straight to a tactical back
Durant scored 28 points, Turtle scored 24 points, and the Thunder team scored 85 points again. The three sat on the bench and began to wave the towel for the atmosphere group.
The players who came off the bench also worked extremely hard. Everyone wanted to show off in the live broadcast across the United States, so naturally they would not show mercy.
In the end, at 96:128, the Thunder beat the Bulls in the first national live broadcast at home. The Oklahoma City fans were already in high spirits. This is the performance of the Big Three that everyone wants to see!
After the game, Li Ze, who got the highest score in the game, was interviewed by the famous TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager. Seeing that the other party was wearing a blue and white plaid suit, Li Ze immediately smiled and praised:
"Wow! Mr. Sage, such a matching color suit is hard to find, this suit is very suitable for you, thank you for supporting the Thunder!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Kayce, I actually wanted to interview you last season, but your live broadcasts were too few."
"You did a good job tonight! Haha, Albert's commentary can't even keep up with your offensive rhythm. Such a nationwide live broadcast is absolutely impressive!"
"We all know you, so I won't talk about polite words. Last season, you won the best rookie, was selected as an All-Star, and entered the best second team. Let's talk about your goals for this season!"
Craig Sager has naturally heard TNT colleagues’ comments on Li Ze. Don’t ask him about the game. If you ask him, it’s about team friendliness, coaching, and logging. Just ask some sensitive questions. Li Ze The answers never disappoint.
"The goal of the new season? I have to admit that this season's situation is completely beyond my expectations. You know, the East Heat team has formed a new Big Three, and the teams in the West have also been reinforced, but I The goal has never changed!"
"There is only one championship, and there is only one MVP. Why not me? I will try my best to fight for the championship. I will do my best to help the team achieve a better record, and then get the MVP. This is my goal for the new season. !"
Craig Sager was a little surprised when he heard Li Ze's words, then he laughed and said immediately:
"That's right! I like a confident guy, Kayce, I will pay attention to your performance, go enjoy the victory, Oklahoma City fans are waiting anxiously, thank you for accepting my interview!"
Seeing that the camera had moved away, Craig Sager whispered to Li Ze again:
"I may write some reports, rest assured, we all support you! There will be absolutely no problems with the article."
As soon as Li Ze heard it, he knew that the other party was going to make up some news topics, but he didn't care about it. This was also the tacit understanding between him and the media reporters.
"Don't worry about writing. I'm very happy to read your article. I thank the TNT reporters for voting for me last season. The league doesn't like players and reporters getting close. Thank you for the opportunity!"
Craig Sager patted Li Ze on the shoulder, and everything was unspoken.
The game was broadcast live across the United States, and TNT's post-match comments were also very quick. The host Ernie Johnson also laughed when he heard Li Ze's interview, and then asked about Kenny Smith on the left.
"Hearing Kayce's words, what do you want to say? This is a game beyond our expectations, and the Thunder won too easily!"
"I like Kayce's performance. He is right. There is only one MVP. Why not him? The Thunder are a better team. Coach Thibodeau still needs to solve the Bulls' outside shooting problem."
Charles Barkley heard the conversation between the two and immediately interjected:
"I'm starting to look forward to the match between the Heat and the Thunder. Who is the real Big Three team? I really want to see the matchup between the two sides right away!"
"The good news is that we have the rights to broadcast that game. The bad news is that we have to wait for a while. Maybe we were all wrong in the offseason. The Thunder are already a Big Three team!"
The host Ernie Johnson almost laughed out loud when he thought of the huge traffic brought by the Big Three matchup. TNT's cable TV subscriptions will definitely increase a lot this season.
Huge exposure means huge traffic. On Reddit, the Thunder team’s traffic surged at this time. Many fans watched the Thunder’s regular season for the first time, which is different from the playoffs they saw before. , The Thunder's style of play in the regular season is even more explosive and gorgeous.
"God! When I was watching the game, I thought there was a broadcast accident. Albert's commentary was obviously not right for the situation on the field. Li's performance was too crazy. He is almost omnipotent."
"I really want to go to Oklahoma City to watch the game live. I can feel the atmosphere from the broadcast. It is really crazy. The Thunder destroyed the Bulls with their offense!"
"I like Kayce's style of play. He can shoot from anywhere on the court. He is more comfortable than last season. Thanks again to Presti for bringing him back to the Thunder."
"Guys, did you notice the white sneakers on Li's feet? I've never seen anything like that!"
"Keds actually make basketball shoes, God, I want to buy a pair, the shoes look really good."
At this time, Li Ze returned to his mansion in Oklahoma City, saw the discussion post on Reddit, smiled in his heart, picked up his mobile phone, and directly posted a handsome photo of himself on the INS that was officially launched in September:
"Thanks to all the Oklahoma City fans, perfect game, the Thunder are tired and come on!"
Li Ze put his own Flow sneakers in the most conspicuous place of the photo, thinking of cutting a lot of leeks in the future, he felt very happy:
"Playing with the ball and taking the goods with you! This is what a superstar should do!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
Unexpectedly, today the static management, almost can not go home.
After tossing until now, I just finished my meal QAQ
In the new season, I will speed up the pace, and the games broadcast live across the United States will be more detailed.
After the foreshadowing of last season, the Welfare Bureau will briefly write it later!
