Chapter 184 The Showdown Between the New and the Old Three Giants
Chapter 184 The Showdown Between the New and the Old Big Three (Chapter [-])
The Celtics successfully smothered the Heat in the opening game of this season, relying on slowing down the pace, sharpening the position, and fighting defense. After all, the Big Three are no longer young. Paul Pierce is 33 years old and Kevin Garnett is 34 years old. , Ray Allen is 35 years old, and new aid Jermaine O'Neal is also 32 years old.
In the starting lineup, except for the 24-year-old Rajon Rondo, the other four are all men in their thirties. Naturally, it is impossible to play fast-paced basketball. On the Thunder side, Li Zegang, 4-year-old, Guigui and Durant is 20 years old. Such an age gap is also doomed to the difference in basketball styles between the two sides.
After more than three minutes into the game, the Thunder showed their vitality on both ends of the offense and defense. The quick end of the offense and the continuous pressure on the defense made the old Celtics feel the pressure instantly.
Rajon Rondo has always wanted to slow down the pace of the game. This time the Celtics attacked. After halftime, they first passed the ball continuously from the outside. Ray Allen was desperately chased by Li Ze. Vacancy opportunities can arise.
Seeing that the offensive time was more than halfway, Rajon Rondo immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal. Turtle went off the line directly and bypassed the screen. Although Rondo got an open three-pointer from the outside, he didn't Opts for a shot, but gives the ball to Jermaine O'Neal at the free throw line.
Noticing that Kevin Garnett was already asking for the ball in the low post, Jermaine O'Neal quickly played a high-low combination and passed the ball directly to Kevin Garnett, Turtle noticed, with 8 seconds left Left and right offensive time, gave up the defense of Rondo, and cooperated with Jeff Green to double-team.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Garnett took a step to the upper line, quickly joined the ball, turned over and leaned back, and shot a Jagged jumper.
"state"
An angry strike, the timely double-teaming of the tortoise still affected Garnett's offensive rhythm.
After Kostic received the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Durant beside him. Without stopping the ball, he quickly threw the ball to Li Ze.
After Li Ze received the ball, he dribbled the ball behind his back, dodged Ray Allen who wanted to foul, and then accelerated with his right hand. He noticed that Rajon Rondo seemed to want to steal the ball from the side.
With a flick of his right wrist, Li Ze easily found the fast-moving tortoise. The latter caught the ball, rushed up in three strides, and directly hit a heavy dunk with both hands!
"Kang..." The turtle was so fast that it had no choice but to tug on the basket, and then roared loudly after landing.
"what!!"
Oklahoma City fans near the bottom line also shouted excitedly. This kind of defensive counterattack and transition offense have been played three times since the opening. This is the vitality of the young team. After the turtle finished the defense, it began to rush forward. , At this time, the two big men of the Celtics had just passed halftime.
"Kayce, what a pass! Russell, Slam Dunk!"
The Thunder's fast-paced offense tested the commentator's skills, but the 49-year-old Mike Breen reacted quickly and clearly explained the situation on the court.
"Rajon Rondo should respond from the perimeter. This game is like last season's Finals. The Celtics want to slow down the offense, but the Thunder have more talent on the perimeter. The boys can play consecutively. Quick counterattack, Coach Rivers should adjust the lineup."
Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary also immediately interjected, complaining about Rajon Rondo who was short
Coach Rivers naturally noticed that the offensive rhythm on the court was wrong, and immediately shouted at his players from the sidelines:
"Hey! Hey! Back off, slow down the offense, get the ball to the big man!"
Rondo also knew his problem, but he was really not good at shooting. Therefore, in this attack, he handed over the ball directly after halftime, and the Celtics quickly gave the ball to Garnett in the low post.
Facing Jeff Green's defense, Garnett quickly released the ball with his right hand, slammed his back to protect the ball twice, and then, relying on his height advantage, he turned over and shot a jumper again:
"Shua" scored a two-pointer.
"what!!"
Jagged hit the jumper again, Garnett yelled at Jeff Green, Bang Bang gave himself two chest blows, and then applauded passionately, loudly encouraging his teammates to retreat quickly.
"shush"
The fans in Oklahoma City couldn't understand Garnett's act of pretending to be X. An ordinary fadeaway jumper acted like a follow-up lore. Huge boos erupted in the Ford Center Arena, and then the home team continued to attack. Come on and shout:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
After the tortoise dribbled through the half court, Durant used double screens to successfully catch the ball, but Garnett, who came over from the switch, was old, but he had rich defensive experience and his defensive agility had not completely declined. Durant's emergency stop was false. Akira was seen through, but was forced to stop the ball, and gave the ball to Kostic at the free throw line again.
When Li Ze moved to the top of the arc, he suddenly ran back, briefly throwing off Ray Allen who was chasing him, and after receiving the ball one step away from the three-point line on the left, he directly feinted, making Ray Allen's defense Move the center of gravity forward, and everyone knows that Li Ze has the ability to make three-pointers from a long distance, so he will subconsciously attack.
However, Ray Allen has rich defensive experience. While attacking, he still guards against Li Ze's left hand. Noticing the opponent's defensive choice, Li Ze quickly releases the ball with his right hand and directly breaks through. Ray Allen also slides back step.
But just when he dribbled to the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply, paused suddenly with the ball in his left hand, and then adjusted his footsteps instantly, sinking his shoulders to the right side, and at the same time exerted force with his left foot, holding the ball in his left hand Speed up the breakthrough and directly squeeze past Ray Allen's defense.
Noticing that Garnett's defense moved inward, Li Ze continued to speed up his breakthrough. At the same time, after several consecutive vigorous dribbles with his left hand, he accumulated strength and took off with both feet. At this time, Garnett in the air had realized that something was wrong. Ze jumps so high that his head is flat
After the aerial confrontation, Garnett was directly knocked into the air, and watched Li Ze's left hand vigorously buckle!
"Bang bang." Li Ze swung the ball into the basket with one hand.
The huge force of the dunk made the basket slam. Garnett staggered and fell directly to the side of the basketball stand. The photojournalist next to him was overjoyed and accurately captured the surprised and depressed expression on Garnett's face.
"Kayce! Gets inside!! OH!! OH!! Slam Dunk!"
From the breakthrough to the dunk, Li Ze's speed was too fast. Mike Brin just saw Li Ze break through Ray Allen, and then dunked Garnett, he couldn't help but screamed.
"what!!"
Seeing Li Ze complete the dunk, the fans sitting in the front row subconsciously stood up and yelled loudly, venting their excitement, especially watching Li Ze shake his finger at Garnett expressionlessly, The fans who like to make trouble suddenly started screaming.
"My God!!"
"squeak"
The linesman directly gave a technical foul, and when he heard the whistle, the corner of Li Ze's mouth twitched, the X was not installed properly.
"Sir, this is just my personal celebration, I don't mean to be provocative!"
Li Ze quickly explained that when he saw the assistant coach on the sidelines waving at him, he immediately stopped defending. In the new season, the NBA has introduced a penalty guideline that expands the scope of application of technical fouls, and has strengthened zero-tolerance penalties. Excessive explanations , may be perceived as provoking the referee.
The fans at the scene didn't care about this, and continued to scream, and many spectators directly scolded the referee, and the scene became extremely lively. Mark Jackson felt the violent atmosphere at the scene, and immediately said:
"I like the basketball atmosphere in Oklahoma City. Thanks to the league for giving us the opportunity to broadcast the Thunder game this season. Haha, Lee probably forgot the rules of the new season, but it doesn't matter. I think this dunk will definitely be selected as the best player of the year." Goal!"
When Ray Allen made a free throw for a technical foul, his teammates immediately stepped forward to greet Li Ze with a fist bump. Such a dunk will definitely boost the morale of the team.
In the next few minutes, the referee's whistling suddenly became stricter. In the nationally broadcast game, no one wanted to see a conflict between the two teams. The rhythm of the game was a bit broken, but the Thunder's offense was not too affected. much impact.
With 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze was replaced by Sefoloza. He scored 4 of 4 in a single quarter and easily scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Ray Allen's single defense was already difficult to limit him. Obviously, at the age of 35, his physical condition has begun to decline.
At the end of the first quarter, at 1:22, the slow offense of the Celtics did not achieve the expected results, and the Thunder led by 30 points in the first quarter.
During the intermission, Coach Rivers was a little dazed. He really didn't expect the game to be played like this. Why couldn't he prevent it?Obviously it's easy to defend the Heat.
Seeing the three melons and two dates on the bench again, I was a little speechless, noticing that the players were not in a high mood, Rivers immediately made himself a little excited, and then shouted:
"Hey! Guys, let's play more aggressive! Defensive rotations, Move! Move! Move! Come on, hold a few rounds, Let's go!!"
Nate Robinson just came to the Celtics this season. Hearing Rivers’ chicken soup, he was also a little excited. Looking at Rondo’s constipated outside shooting, Nate Robinson felt that he had a chance to get the main position. .
The Celtics' rotation has Nate Robinson, Marquese Daniels, Paul Pierce, Glenn Davis, Jermaine O'Neal, and Kevin Garnett's coaching staff, of course. It is useful, so Pierce can only let Pierce personally lead the rotation.
The Thunder still have a regular rotation, with Li Ze and Jeff Green partnering to continue the 5-strike lineup.
In the first attack in the second quarter, Nate Robinson played a high pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal immediately after dribbling halfway, but the tacit understanding between the two was not enough, and Li Ze easily squeezed through the screen. A small player, Nate Robinson naturally has his own way of survival.
Facing Li Ze's defense, he flicked for a while, and found that Li Ze hadn't lost his position at all. At this time, he had already dribbled too much, and the offensive time was over half. Being defended like this by a rookie player, Nate Robinson felt a little embarrassed .
After jumping and dribbling with the ball in his left hand, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and then accelerated directly without feeling the defensive pressure on his side. Nate Robinson was overjoyed. When he shot, he suddenly felt the resistance from his side.
"Snapped!!"
Li Ze sends out the chasing cap, and the small players always have an illusion: I passed the defense
Ibaka under the basket quickly controlled the ball and immediately gave it to Li Ze. The Thunder quickly pushed to switch offenses, but the Celtics' five players quickly returned to defense. Li Ze noticed that it was not very good After halftime, he immediately gave offensive gestures to his teammates.
Ibaka quickly raised the pick-and-roll, and Marquez Daniels was very close. Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through from the right. After taking a step, he suddenly turned around quickly. Get rid of Marquez Daniels' defense.
Glenn Davis quickly defended, and Li Ze saw the big fat guy following the defense and returned to the three-point line. Glenn Davis slapped the floor passionately, then rolled up his shorts, The look of a sub-elite defender.
Li Ze was speechless for a moment, learning from Garnett?Look at you being so fat, let’s pretend to be X. After dribbling twice on the spot, the ball in his right hand suddenly accelerated. He just passed the three-point line and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back. He paused with his left hand to change the rhythm of the attack.
With a twist of the body, the left hand quickly changed the direction of the crotch, and the right hand held the ball to pretend to break through. At this time, Glenn Davis was almost danced by Li Zehuang. Seeing Li Ze's body center of gravity dropped, he took a big step back. In the end, Li Ze easily stepped back and made a jump shot.
"Shua" three-point hollow net.
"Kayce! Cross over, Step back, Bang! Hits the three!"
ESPN's sideline commentator Mike Brin started from Li Ze's swaying, and continued to increase his speaking speed, and finally succeeded in keeping up with Li Ze's offensive rhythm, and completed the synchronous commentary quite excitedly.
"Ow!!"
The audience at the Ford Center Arena saw Li Ze raise their hands after scoring a goal, so everyone cheered up and immediately yelled, especially after seeing Glenn Davis being shaken in place, many spectators in the front row They even laughed together.
After the Celtics sent the baseline ball, Nate Robinson dribbled halfway, and honestly gave the ball to Paul Pierce. Facing Jeff Green's defense, he quickly released the ball with his left hand after three threats, and then crotch Change direction, meet the block, step back and shoot a jumper.
"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.
This is also Paul Pierce's second sports game goal after 6-for-1 in the first quarter. The Thunder continued to quickly serve the baseline ball.
Li Ze glanced at Jermaine O'Neal's defensive position, his body swayed confusingly to the right, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity, quickly in and out with his right hand, and directly changed direction with a crotch. Using Collison's cover, he easily got rid of the horse. Ques Daniels' defense, followed by an emergency stop jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Bang!! Kayce from downtown!"
"Coach Rivers should probably ask for a timeout. Daniels and O'Neal's defense is clearly out of order. The Celtics can't let Lee play this kind of offense, otherwise the game will soon completely enter the rhythm of the Thunder."
Taking advantage of the time when the commentator Mike Breen took a breath, Jeff Van Gundy once again put forward his views. As an old-school coach, in his coaching philosophy, he would never allow the opposing player to shoot such a three-pointer. Divide the ball.
"Aha!!"
Guigui on the bench saw Li Ze hit consecutive three-pointers, and immediately shouted excitedly along with the audience on the sidelines. Less than 2 minutes into the second quarter, Coach Rivers faintly felt that the situation was not good. At this time, he could only loudly remind his players to stay focused on the defensive end.
At this time, the point difference has come to 12 points. In the next few minutes, the Celtics finally defended the inside line, but this gave Ibaka and Collison the opportunity to attack the basket.
And Li Ze also consciously asked Sofloza to play some UCLA air cuts. Nate Robinson is too short, and he has a great chance to stand on the free throw line if he can't score. After all, this is the home court of the Thunder.
The offensive rhythm on the court is getting faster and faster, and the double-digit lead has allowed everyone in the Thunder to let go of their hands and feet. It's okay to hit the iron. The ultimate goal is to quickly end the offense and speed up the pace of the game.
Paul Pierce also stood up at this time and began to help the Celtics score consecutive points, but the problem on the defensive end prevented them from narrowing the point difference. With 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter, the head coach Brooks started The lineup was rotated, and Li Ze was also replaced for a rest.
On the bench, Dai Quinn Cook immediately handed the water bottle to Li Ze, and at the same time exclaimed:
"Unbelievable! We completely suppressed the Celtics, Kayce, you played really well, you played a dominant role on both offense and defense!"
"In fact, we can do better. We were still a little impatient in a few offenses. I wanted to expand the point difference to 20 points. I didn't expect the Celtics to be so tenacious."
"."
Li Ze's words completely left Dai Quinn Cook speechless. If we don't pretend to be X, we are still good brothers.
By the end of the half, at 47:59, the Thunder entered the second half with a 12-point lead.
"Great halftime game! I like the offensive rhythm of the Thunder, Jeff, you have been disapproving of the Celtics' defensive strategy in the first half of the game, now they are 12 points behind, how about the second half of the game Adjustment?"
Jeff Van Gundy heard the query from announcer Mike Breen and immediately said:
"Perkins' injury has affected the Celtics on both offense and defense. If I were the head coach of Rivers, I would choose to replace Jermaine O'Neal. The defensive end must follow up as soon as possible. O'Neal It's just too slow."
Mark Jackson heard his old partner's point of view and took over the conversation, saying:
"I even think the Celtics can shrink the lineup, push Garnett to the 5 position, and completely match the Thunder defensively, but Rajon Rondo's outside shooting can't respond. You can completely give up this point of defense, which is very detrimental to the Celtics."
"Of course, we also want to praise the Thunder's offense. Whether it's Lee or Durant, their high shooting percentage on the outside is the key factor for the Thunder to lead. Westbrook's transition offense is also crucial. He Driven the Thunder's offensive rhythm."
"It seems that the boys have a chance to win tonight. I have to say that the Oklahoma City fans are really enthusiastic. I am completely in love with the home atmosphere here!"
Mike Breen almost laughed out loud when he saw the Dance Cam event going on at the scene. The Oklahoma City fans found by the broadcast camera were dancing happily, and all the fans were enjoying the game.
During the halftime break, in the locker room of the visiting team, no one on the Celtics said a word, and Rajon Rondo was out of battery. The score fell behind in the first half. Turtle frequently shrinks inside to participate in defense.
Although Rondo scored 6 points and sent 6 assists by stealing chickens, he made 3 turnovers and the team fell behind. He must be the first one.
Coach Rivers saw that Rondo was no longer directing the game, and nodded in satisfaction. He is the boss of this team. Seeing that everyone was depressed, he sent out thick chicken soup again:
"A 12-point difference in two quarters is not a difficult task for us. Keep your spirits up and hold on for a few rounds. Be aggressive! We are family! Let's go!!"
"."
Everyone in the Celtics drank too much chicken soup and their immunity was high. Rivers' Let's go is no longer working
After the start of the third quarter, Durant took the lead in breaking out. This season's Durant has faintly looked like Li Zefu remembered.
Durant held the ball in his left hand, and after jumping and dribbling, he changed direction significantly, held the ball in his right hand to speed up his breakthrough, dribbled behind his back on the move, ignored Paul Pierce's block, and made a mid-range step-back jump shot.
"OH! Kevin Durant! Cross over, Count it! And a foul!"
The commentator Mike Breen saw Durant's mid-range hit and caused a foul by Paul Pierce, so he immediately increased his commentary volume.
Coupled with the fact that Turtle also began to hit the mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, and continued to hit the inside, the Thunder were attacking wave after wave.
"Russell! Puts it in! It's good!"
"OH, tough shot! Kayce, Fade away! He got it!"
In the third quarter of the game, the point difference was still not narrowed. Although the Celtics were tenaciously chasing points, they were still unable to successfully defend against the Thunder's offense. The fans are all watching, the Big Three vs. the Big Three!
However, when the game progressed to the fourth quarter, the physical gap between the two sides became apparent. The Thunder trio was still alive and kicking, but the Celtics' old Big Three were a little out of breath.
The Thunder team attacked, and Li Ze wanted to catch the ball with his back directly from the waist, but the old Ray Allen was a bit on top at this time. He was completely blown away by Li Ze in this game. If you want to turn your back, you immediately start half-circling forward to defend.
The two of them tore apart and pulled each other to the left waist position. Feeling that the turtle seemed to be difficult to pass the ball, Li Ze suddenly made an upward gesture covertly, turned his back to take the position, and then suddenly turned around and cut directly. Insider.
At this time, the tortoise's pass also happened to appear in mid-air, Li Ze jumped up to catch the ball, and after a short stay in the air, he dunked in the air with a tomahawk!
"Kang" the dunk was successful.
"what!!"
Seeing Li Ze complete another wonderful dunk, the audience on the scene began to burst into loud cheers. Everyone was cheering for Li Ze's ball, and also cheering for the upcoming victory. Another win!
Ray Allen really tried his best. After gaining weight, Li Ze has completely crushed the opponent physically. The difference in weight, height, and strength all make it more difficult for Ray Allen to defend. The most important thing is , the 35-year-old body can't stand it anymore
Seeing that the point difference could never be narrowed, with 4 minutes and 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the head coach Rivers took the initiative to request a timeout, replaced the water dispenser players, and called for gold to withdraw. After all, veterans should not consume too much.
Afterwards, the head coach of Brooks also quickly carried out a personnel rotation. After the main players left the court, they received warm applause from the audience.
The players who came off the bench also played very hard. Of course, everyone in the national live broadcast had to do their best. In the end, at 97:119, the Thunder successfully defeated the Celtics at home.
Li Ze once again scored the team's highest score in this game, 17 of 13, including 6 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover and 2 blocks. Durant scored 28 points and Turtle scored 23. Points, the trio scored 85 points, blowing up the old Big Three.
After the game, Li Ze, who got the highest score in the game, was preparing to be interviewed by the famous ESPN reporter Doris Burke. For this national broadcast, the broadcaster had come up with the best staffing.
"Congratulations, Kayce, you performed perfectly tonight. It's hard to believe that you are still a second-year rookie. Can you briefly talk about tonight's victory? Many fans are curious about why you can play such an efficient offense."
Li Ze didn't expect the other party to ask such a simple question. He immediately understood that this famous blonde reporter should be regarded as one of his own, and he had no tendency to make trouble. After wiping the sweat off his face, Li Ze replied with a smile:
"Tonight's victory belongs to everyone. I have to praise my teammates. Many of them have made selfless contributions. Jeff Green, he has been guarding Garnett tonight's game, Krstic, Every time he covered, he gave his best."
"With Kevin and Russell on the outside, I don't have to worry about being double-teamed by the opponent. This is a team victory, and the efficient offense is also due to our coaching staff."
"Brooks head coach and assistant coaches designed the most suitable tactics for us, we worked hard and finally achieved good results!"
Doris Burke nodded secretly when she heard Li Ze's words, then continued to ask questions with a smile:
"The voting channel for the All-Star Game is about to open. Is there anything you want to say to the fans?"
"Wow! Time flies! It's time for the All-Star voting again. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for voting last year, which allowed me to be selected as an All-Star. I will continue to play hard this season, and I hope everyone will give you a lot of support. Haha, Better put me in the starting lineup!"
"Congratulations again Kayce, I will vote for you too, thank you for accepting my interview!"
Doris Burke greeted Li Ze with a fist bump with a smile, and the two chatted privately. After hearing the shouts from the Oklahoma City fans on the sidelines, Li Ze left.
In the Thunder locker room, Durant looked at the technical statistics after the game, and his heart began to go crazy. In this game, he made 17 of 9, 6 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, 28 points, 6 rebounds and 2 Assist 1 turnover, looking at the data is good, but compared with Li Ze, there is a problem
Both of them took 17 shots, but in terms of scoring efficiency, he was at a disadvantage. In order to control his shooting rate, Durant has cherished every shot, but in the end he was still not as good as Li Ze, which made him sour. Too bad!
"After this game, we still have three consecutive home games. What a happy schedule! The team should have a holiday tomorrow, how about we have a barbecue party?"
When Guigui thought that he would have a lot of time to spend with his girlfriend, he was in a good mood, and immediately started to organize a party.
"This is definitely a good idea! I want to eat meat so much! Russell, we can go to the steak shop owner to get the ingredients, I am a master of barbecue!"
As soon as Li Ze returned to the locker room, he heard Guigui talking about barbecue, and he suddenly regained his energy. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat meat for a day!
"Great, after we have a big meal, we can go out to have fun at night!"
"yeah!!"
The battle between the old and new Big Three ended with the Thunder winning. This also surprised the media reporters in Amelia. After all, in the opening game, the Heat's Big Three were taught to be human, but the Thunder's trio actually won so much. easy?
At this time, everyone on Reddit and Twitter praised the Thunder’s performance wildly, bluntly saying that this is the Big Three that everyone is looking forward to, and Thunder fans are even more aggressive on Reddit. One squirt.
"If Kayce is elected this season's MVP, I will not be surprised at all. He is really good. Look at those crazy three-pointers. God, for the first time, I feel that outside shooting is so easy!"
"KD is very good, but Kayce is better. Maybe it's the difference in offensive selection. KD likes to break through to the inside to cause fouls, while Kayce prefers to complete the three-pointer with a step back from the outside. I just want to say, the Thunder are champions!"
"Terrible shooting ability. As long as a pick-and-roll attack is launched, many big players can't switch on the defensive end. This is the talent of the Thunder team. We are so happy!"
"Three-pointers, mid-range shots, dunks, God! This is Kayce's second year in his career, and he will completely dominate the league!"
"Guys! This year we must put all three into the All-Stars, Kayce, Russell, Kevin VS James, Wade, Bosh, cool! I am so looking forward to this matchup."
"This reminds me of last year's All-Star Game. Kayce and Kevin ruined LeBron James' AMVP. This is a grievance game!"
"Hurry up and get votes! I want Kayce to start!"
The influence of this nationally broadcast game is gradually spreading, and the All-Star voting channel is about to open, Thunder fans are becoming more and more active, and soon America's media also thought that the Thunder's trio might be You can play a game with the Heat's Big Three in the All-Star Game!
Various topics of discussion emerged in endlessly, and the national live broadcast also brought some disadvantages. More basketball fans, professional trainers, and well-known coaches began to study the Thunder's tactical play.
Many trainers even explained each of Li Ze's attacks in detail frame by frame. This kind of basketball video was posted on Youtube, and it immediately attracted a lot of traffic. For Li Ze's hot topic, everyone went crazy.
At that time, on November 11th, when Holiday came to Li Ze's home with the team's away game, he couldn't help teasing Li Zelai:
"Kayce, I didn't expect that there are so many details in your technical movements. You have so many changes in a simple tentative step. You guys didn't give those trainers public relations fees. Recently, many people on YouTube Analyzing your technical moves."
When Li Ze heard what Holiday said, the corner of his mouth twitched. He had fully experienced the power of the Internet. These trainers are absolutely free. Compared with Durant, Li Ze, who is two meters tall, is closer to ordinary people. There are a lot of people, so everyone is also happy to see the detailed explanation of Li Ze's actions
"It doesn't matter! Even if they analyze it, the same technique, different physical fitness, the effect will be different. Last year, my core strength was a little weaker, and I couldn't complete many movements easily. These guys are all cheating traffic!"
"How is the 76ers recently? You also selected Evan Turner with the second overall pick this year. The critics have rated him well. You will definitely have a chance to make the playoffs this season."
After hearing Li Ze's words, Holiday shrugged helplessly:
"Maybe the lineup still needs to be adjusted for a while. We started with 2 wins and 5 losses. To be honest, the game was a mess. Iguodala was also troubled by injuries. But in the East, maybe 40 wins can enter the playoffs!"
"Playing a few more playoffs will definitely accelerate growth, come on, Bro!"
On the night of the 10th, the Ford Center Arena was full again, and Oklahoma City's attendance rate was almost ranked among the top three in the league.
The 76ers head coach Doug Collins has an interesting lineup tonight, one big and four small, Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner partnering in the backcourt, new aid Andres Nocioni and veterans Elton Brand formed the front line, and the center was the newly traded Spencer Hawes.
There are veterans and rookies in this lineup. It looks good, but the ability to protect the basket is weak, otherwise it won't start and win 2 games.
Facing a team with average frame protection ability, Guigui once again showed his breakthrough ability. After the game started, he made sudden shots. The high pick-and-roll at the 5th position was very good. At 1:24, the two sides faced each other, and the Thunder took an 32-point lead in the first quarter.
In the following game, as the 76ers began to make consecutive mistakes, the Thunder quickly extended their lead to 14 points.
In the end, at 96:112, the Thunder easily defeated the 76ers at home and maintained their winning streak.
In this game, Guigui played the best and scored the team's highest 28 points. Li Ze and Durant both scored 24 points, and the trio played steadily again.
Holiday made 6 turnovers in this game, three of which were directly intercepted by Li Ze. After the game, Holiday found Li Ze with a wry smile, and directly complained:
"Remember to be merciful next time, 6 turnovers in a game, breaking the record!"
"Failure is the mother of success. Only continuous failure will lead to success. Keep going, Bro!"
Li Ze sent out his own poisonous chicken soup again. Seeing Holiday's depressed face, Li Ze almost laughed outright.
On November 11, the Thunder once again ushered in the old rival Trail Blazers at home. Perhaps because of the ugly loss a few days ago, the Trail Blazers played very aggressively in this game. Roy and Batum He even fired from outside the three-point line again and again.
At the end of the first quarter, at 1:35, the Trail Blazers led by 30 points, but during the rotation stage, Li Ze hit hard again, hitting 5 consecutive three-pointers and helping the Thunder overtake the score with 4 points in a single quarter.
The main lineup returned in the second half, and the Thunder played another wave in the third quarter, which directly established the victory. In the end, 3:102, the Thunder once again defended their home court and started the season with 112 consecutive victories. This also made Oklahoma City fans Completely happy, Thunder champion!
On November 11th, the last home game of the Thunder, tonight will face the Spurs who started with 14 wins and 7 loss.
The Spurs this season did not make too many lineup adjustments during the offseason. Although they were swept by the Thunder in the playoffs, Coach Popovich also thought about adding defensive players on the flanks, but the Spurs also Not rich, and in the end this idea will die down.
Popovich can understand the meaning of the uniform team: the team has no money, let's make do!
However, this season the Spurs were able to achieve 7 wins and 1 loss at the beginning of the season, mainly due to some adjustments to the possession of the ball. Three-point shooting, Matt Bonner's playing time has also increased a lot.
Tonight's game is a live broadcast on NBATV. Everyone in the Spurs team was extremely excited. Before the game, in the Spurs locker room, Coach Popovich was very satisfied with the players' condition. Opened his mouth and said:
"Defensive issues, I won't emphasize too much before the game. Guys, we must increase our three-point shooting in this game. The opponent likes to defend the zone. We must respond from the outside at the beginning to open up the offensive space."
"Tony, according to the game plan, play more pick-and-rolls at the 5th position on the offensive end. Whether it's a two-pointer or a three-pointer, shoot resolutely when there is an opportunity. Tonight we must first recover some interest!"
Seeing no response from the crowd, Popovich was speechless and couldn't help shouting:
"Got it guys?"
"Yes, Sir!"
NBATV's live broadcast is completely different from ESPN and TNT. There is no special commentary team and no more media reporters.
Li Ze didn't care about these things. What made him a little depressed was that the Spurs' outside line was too accurate after the opening, which also made him feel the feeling of other teams facing the Thunder.
Especially when Manu Ginobili faced his attack and threw a three-pointer again, Li Ze was completely speechless, and complained helplessly in his heart:
"Are the old guys taking Dali pills? It seems that the sweep of the gentleman last season is still a feud."
At this time, the first quarter of the game has been played for more than 1 minutes. At 5:19, the outside line of the Spurs went berserk. Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied with the team's performance. His premonition was indeed right:
"Three-pointers can destroy this Thunder team!"
Coach Brooks saw Daequan Cook on the bench and shook his head secretly. The opponent did not perform well in training, and he was only 5 points behind. He wanted to observe the team's performance again:
"Sure enough, like last season, there are still problems with three-pointers"

(End of this chapter)
The Celtics successfully smothered the Heat in the opening game of this season, relying on slowing down the pace, sharpening the position, and fighting defense. After all, the Big Three are no longer young. Paul Pierce is 33 years old and Kevin Garnett is 34 years old. , Ray Allen is 35 years old, and new aid Jermaine O'Neal is also 32 years old.
In the starting lineup, except for the 24-year-old Rajon Rondo, the other four are all men in their thirties. Naturally, it is impossible to play fast-paced basketball. On the Thunder side, Li Zegang, 4-year-old, Guigui and Durant is 20 years old. Such an age gap is also doomed to the difference in basketball styles between the two sides.
After more than three minutes into the game, the Thunder showed their vitality on both ends of the offense and defense. The quick end of the offense and the continuous pressure on the defense made the old Celtics feel the pressure instantly.
Rajon Rondo has always wanted to slow down the pace of the game. This time the Celtics attacked. After halftime, they first passed the ball continuously from the outside. Ray Allen was desperately chased by Li Ze. Vacancy opportunities can arise.
Seeing that the offensive time was more than halfway, Rajon Rondo immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal. Turtle went off the line directly and bypassed the screen. Although Rondo got an open three-pointer from the outside, he didn't Opts for a shot, but gives the ball to Jermaine O'Neal at the free throw line.
Noticing that Kevin Garnett was already asking for the ball in the low post, Jermaine O'Neal quickly played a high-low combination and passed the ball directly to Kevin Garnett, Turtle noticed, with 8 seconds left Left and right offensive time, gave up the defense of Rondo, and cooperated with Jeff Green to double-team.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Garnett took a step to the upper line, quickly joined the ball, turned over and leaned back, and shot a Jagged jumper.
"state"
An angry strike, the timely double-teaming of the tortoise still affected Garnett's offensive rhythm.
After Kostic received the rebound, he immediately passed the ball to Durant beside him. Without stopping the ball, he quickly threw the ball to Li Ze.
After Li Ze received the ball, he dribbled the ball behind his back, dodged Ray Allen who wanted to foul, and then accelerated with his right hand. He noticed that Rajon Rondo seemed to want to steal the ball from the side.
With a flick of his right wrist, Li Ze easily found the fast-moving tortoise. The latter caught the ball, rushed up in three strides, and directly hit a heavy dunk with both hands!
"Kang..." The turtle was so fast that it had no choice but to tug on the basket, and then roared loudly after landing.
"what!!"
Oklahoma City fans near the bottom line also shouted excitedly. This kind of defensive counterattack and transition offense have been played three times since the opening. This is the vitality of the young team. After the turtle finished the defense, it began to rush forward. , At this time, the two big men of the Celtics had just passed halftime.
"Kayce, what a pass! Russell, Slam Dunk!"
The Thunder's fast-paced offense tested the commentator's skills, but the 49-year-old Mike Breen reacted quickly and clearly explained the situation on the court.
"Rajon Rondo should respond from the perimeter. This game is like last season's Finals. The Celtics want to slow down the offense, but the Thunder have more talent on the perimeter. The boys can play consecutively. Quick counterattack, Coach Rivers should adjust the lineup."
Jeff Van Gundy in the commentary also immediately interjected, complaining about Rajon Rondo who was short
Coach Rivers naturally noticed that the offensive rhythm on the court was wrong, and immediately shouted at his players from the sidelines:
"Hey! Hey! Back off, slow down the offense, get the ball to the big man!"
Rondo also knew his problem, but he was really not good at shooting. Therefore, in this attack, he handed over the ball directly after halftime, and the Celtics quickly gave the ball to Garnett in the low post.
Facing Jeff Green's defense, Garnett quickly released the ball with his right hand, slammed his back to protect the ball twice, and then, relying on his height advantage, he turned over and shot a jumper again:
"Shua" scored a two-pointer.
"what!!"
Jagged hit the jumper again, Garnett yelled at Jeff Green, Bang Bang gave himself two chest blows, and then applauded passionately, loudly encouraging his teammates to retreat quickly.
"shush"
The fans in Oklahoma City couldn't understand Garnett's act of pretending to be X. An ordinary fadeaway jumper acted like a follow-up lore. Huge boos erupted in the Ford Center Arena, and then the home team continued to attack. Come on and shout:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
After the tortoise dribbled through the half court, Durant used double screens to successfully catch the ball, but Garnett, who came over from the switch, was old, but he had rich defensive experience and his defensive agility had not completely declined. Durant's emergency stop was false. Akira was seen through, but was forced to stop the ball, and gave the ball to Kostic at the free throw line again.
When Li Ze moved to the top of the arc, he suddenly ran back, briefly throwing off Ray Allen who was chasing him, and after receiving the ball one step away from the three-point line on the left, he directly feinted, making Ray Allen's defense Move the center of gravity forward, and everyone knows that Li Ze has the ability to make three-pointers from a long distance, so he will subconsciously attack.
However, Ray Allen has rich defensive experience. While attacking, he still guards against Li Ze's left hand. Noticing the opponent's defensive choice, Li Ze quickly releases the ball with his right hand and directly breaks through. Ray Allen also slides back step.
But just when he dribbled to the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply, paused suddenly with the ball in his left hand, and then adjusted his footsteps instantly, sinking his shoulders to the right side, and at the same time exerted force with his left foot, holding the ball in his left hand Speed up the breakthrough and directly squeeze past Ray Allen's defense.
Noticing that Garnett's defense moved inward, Li Ze continued to speed up his breakthrough. At the same time, after several consecutive vigorous dribbles with his left hand, he accumulated strength and took off with both feet. At this time, Garnett in the air had realized that something was wrong. Ze jumps so high that his head is flat
After the aerial confrontation, Garnett was directly knocked into the air, and watched Li Ze's left hand vigorously buckle!
"Bang bang." Li Ze swung the ball into the basket with one hand.
The huge force of the dunk made the basket slam. Garnett staggered and fell directly to the side of the basketball stand. The photojournalist next to him was overjoyed and accurately captured the surprised and depressed expression on Garnett's face.
"Kayce! Gets inside!! OH!! OH!! Slam Dunk!"
From the breakthrough to the dunk, Li Ze's speed was too fast. Mike Brin just saw Li Ze break through Ray Allen, and then dunked Garnett, he couldn't help but screamed.
"what!!"
Seeing Li Ze complete the dunk, the fans sitting in the front row subconsciously stood up and yelled loudly, venting their excitement, especially watching Li Ze shake his finger at Garnett expressionlessly, The fans who like to make trouble suddenly started screaming.
"My God!!"
"squeak"
The linesman directly gave a technical foul, and when he heard the whistle, the corner of Li Ze's mouth twitched, the X was not installed properly.
"Sir, this is just my personal celebration, I don't mean to be provocative!"
Li Ze quickly explained that when he saw the assistant coach on the sidelines waving at him, he immediately stopped defending. In the new season, the NBA has introduced a penalty guideline that expands the scope of application of technical fouls, and has strengthened zero-tolerance penalties. Excessive explanations , may be perceived as provoking the referee.
The fans at the scene didn't care about this, and continued to scream, and many spectators directly scolded the referee, and the scene became extremely lively. Mark Jackson felt the violent atmosphere at the scene, and immediately said:
"I like the basketball atmosphere in Oklahoma City. Thanks to the league for giving us the opportunity to broadcast the Thunder game this season. Haha, Lee probably forgot the rules of the new season, but it doesn't matter. I think this dunk will definitely be selected as the best player of the year." Goal!"
When Ray Allen made a free throw for a technical foul, his teammates immediately stepped forward to greet Li Ze with a fist bump. Such a dunk will definitely boost the morale of the team.
In the next few minutes, the referee's whistling suddenly became stricter. In the nationally broadcast game, no one wanted to see a conflict between the two teams. The rhythm of the game was a bit broken, but the Thunder's offense was not too affected. much impact.
With 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze was replaced by Sefoloza. He scored 4 of 4 in a single quarter and easily scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Ray Allen's single defense was already difficult to limit him. Obviously, at the age of 35, his physical condition has begun to decline.
At the end of the first quarter, at 1:22, the slow offense of the Celtics did not achieve the expected results, and the Thunder led by 30 points in the first quarter.
During the intermission, Coach Rivers was a little dazed. He really didn't expect the game to be played like this. Why couldn't he prevent it?Obviously it's easy to defend the Heat.
Seeing the three melons and two dates on the bench again, I was a little speechless, noticing that the players were not in a high mood, Rivers immediately made himself a little excited, and then shouted:
"Hey! Guys, let's play more aggressive! Defensive rotations, Move! Move! Move! Come on, hold a few rounds, Let's go!!"
Nate Robinson just came to the Celtics this season. Hearing Rivers’ chicken soup, he was also a little excited. Looking at Rondo’s constipated outside shooting, Nate Robinson felt that he had a chance to get the main position. .
The Celtics' rotation has Nate Robinson, Marquese Daniels, Paul Pierce, Glenn Davis, Jermaine O'Neal, and Kevin Garnett's coaching staff, of course. It is useful, so Pierce can only let Pierce personally lead the rotation.
The Thunder still have a regular rotation, with Li Ze and Jeff Green partnering to continue the 5-strike lineup.
In the first attack in the second quarter, Nate Robinson played a high pick-and-roll with Jermaine O'Neal immediately after dribbling halfway, but the tacit understanding between the two was not enough, and Li Ze easily squeezed through the screen. A small player, Nate Robinson naturally has his own way of survival.
Facing Li Ze's defense, he flicked for a while, and found that Li Ze hadn't lost his position at all. At this time, he had already dribbled too much, and the offensive time was over half. Being defended like this by a rookie player, Nate Robinson felt a little embarrassed .
After jumping and dribbling with the ball in his left hand, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and then accelerated directly without feeling the defensive pressure on his side. Nate Robinson was overjoyed. When he shot, he suddenly felt the resistance from his side.
"Snapped!!"
Li Ze sends out the chasing cap, and the small players always have an illusion: I passed the defense
Ibaka under the basket quickly controlled the ball and immediately gave it to Li Ze. The Thunder quickly pushed to switch offenses, but the Celtics' five players quickly returned to defense. Li Ze noticed that it was not very good After halftime, he immediately gave offensive gestures to his teammates.
Ibaka quickly raised the pick-and-roll, and Marquez Daniels was very close. Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through from the right. After taking a step, he suddenly turned around quickly. Get rid of Marquez Daniels' defense.
Glenn Davis quickly defended, and Li Ze saw the big fat guy following the defense and returned to the three-point line. Glenn Davis slapped the floor passionately, then rolled up his shorts, The look of a sub-elite defender.
Li Ze was speechless for a moment, learning from Garnett?Look at you being so fat, let’s pretend to be X. After dribbling twice on the spot, the ball in his right hand suddenly accelerated. He just passed the three-point line and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back. He paused with his left hand to change the rhythm of the attack.
With a twist of the body, the left hand quickly changed the direction of the crotch, and the right hand held the ball to pretend to break through. At this time, Glenn Davis was almost danced by Li Zehuang. Seeing Li Ze's body center of gravity dropped, he took a big step back. In the end, Li Ze easily stepped back and made a jump shot.
"Shua" three-point hollow net.
"Kayce! Cross over, Step back, Bang! Hits the three!"
ESPN's sideline commentator Mike Brin started from Li Ze's swaying, and continued to increase his speaking speed, and finally succeeded in keeping up with Li Ze's offensive rhythm, and completed the synchronous commentary quite excitedly.
"Ow!!"
The audience at the Ford Center Arena saw Li Ze raise their hands after scoring a goal, so everyone cheered up and immediately yelled, especially after seeing Glenn Davis being shaken in place, many spectators in the front row They even laughed together.
After the Celtics sent the baseline ball, Nate Robinson dribbled halfway, and honestly gave the ball to Paul Pierce. Facing Jeff Green's defense, he quickly released the ball with his left hand after three threats, and then crotch Change direction, meet the block, step back and shoot a jumper.
"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.
This is also Paul Pierce's second sports game goal after 6-for-1 in the first quarter. The Thunder continued to quickly serve the baseline ball.
Li Ze glanced at Jermaine O'Neal's defensive position, his body swayed confusingly to the right, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity, quickly in and out with his right hand, and directly changed direction with a crotch. Using Collison's cover, he easily got rid of the horse. Ques Daniels' defense, followed by an emergency stop jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Bang!! Kayce from downtown!"
"Coach Rivers should probably ask for a timeout. Daniels and O'Neal's defense is clearly out of order. The Celtics can't let Lee play this kind of offense, otherwise the game will soon completely enter the rhythm of the Thunder."
Taking advantage of the time when the commentator Mike Breen took a breath, Jeff Van Gundy once again put forward his views. As an old-school coach, in his coaching philosophy, he would never allow the opposing player to shoot such a three-pointer. Divide the ball.
"Aha!!"
Guigui on the bench saw Li Ze hit consecutive three-pointers, and immediately shouted excitedly along with the audience on the sidelines. Less than 2 minutes into the second quarter, Coach Rivers faintly felt that the situation was not good. At this time, he could only loudly remind his players to stay focused on the defensive end.
At this time, the point difference has come to 12 points. In the next few minutes, the Celtics finally defended the inside line, but this gave Ibaka and Collison the opportunity to attack the basket.
And Li Ze also consciously asked Sofloza to play some UCLA air cuts. Nate Robinson is too short, and he has a great chance to stand on the free throw line if he can't score. After all, this is the home court of the Thunder.
The offensive rhythm on the court is getting faster and faster, and the double-digit lead has allowed everyone in the Thunder to let go of their hands and feet. It's okay to hit the iron. The ultimate goal is to quickly end the offense and speed up the pace of the game.
Paul Pierce also stood up at this time and began to help the Celtics score consecutive points, but the problem on the defensive end prevented them from narrowing the point difference. With 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter, the head coach Brooks started The lineup was rotated, and Li Ze was also replaced for a rest.
On the bench, Dai Quinn Cook immediately handed the water bottle to Li Ze, and at the same time exclaimed:
"Unbelievable! We completely suppressed the Celtics, Kayce, you played really well, you played a dominant role on both offense and defense!"
"In fact, we can do better. We were still a little impatient in a few offenses. I wanted to expand the point difference to 20 points. I didn't expect the Celtics to be so tenacious."
"."
Li Ze's words completely left Dai Quinn Cook speechless. If we don't pretend to be X, we are still good brothers.
By the end of the half, at 47:59, the Thunder entered the second half with a 12-point lead.
"Great halftime game! I like the offensive rhythm of the Thunder, Jeff, you have been disapproving of the Celtics' defensive strategy in the first half of the game, now they are 12 points behind, how about the second half of the game Adjustment?"
Jeff Van Gundy heard the query from announcer Mike Breen and immediately said:
"Perkins' injury has affected the Celtics on both offense and defense. If I were the head coach of Rivers, I would choose to replace Jermaine O'Neal. The defensive end must follow up as soon as possible. O'Neal It's just too slow."
Mark Jackson heard his old partner's point of view and took over the conversation, saying:
"I even think the Celtics can shrink the lineup, push Garnett to the 5 position, and completely match the Thunder defensively, but Rajon Rondo's outside shooting can't respond. You can completely give up this point of defense, which is very detrimental to the Celtics."
"Of course, we also want to praise the Thunder's offense. Whether it's Lee or Durant, their high shooting percentage on the outside is the key factor for the Thunder to lead. Westbrook's transition offense is also crucial. He Driven the Thunder's offensive rhythm."
"It seems that the boys have a chance to win tonight. I have to say that the Oklahoma City fans are really enthusiastic. I am completely in love with the home atmosphere here!"
Mike Breen almost laughed out loud when he saw the Dance Cam event going on at the scene. The Oklahoma City fans found by the broadcast camera were dancing happily, and all the fans were enjoying the game.
During the halftime break, in the locker room of the visiting team, no one on the Celtics said a word, and Rajon Rondo was out of battery. The score fell behind in the first half. Turtle frequently shrinks inside to participate in defense.
Although Rondo scored 6 points and sent 6 assists by stealing chickens, he made 3 turnovers and the team fell behind. He must be the first one.
Coach Rivers saw that Rondo was no longer directing the game, and nodded in satisfaction. He is the boss of this team. Seeing that everyone was depressed, he sent out thick chicken soup again:
"A 12-point difference in two quarters is not a difficult task for us. Keep your spirits up and hold on for a few rounds. Be aggressive! We are family! Let's go!!"
"."
Everyone in the Celtics drank too much chicken soup and their immunity was high. Rivers' Let's go is no longer working
After the start of the third quarter, Durant took the lead in breaking out. This season's Durant has faintly looked like Li Zefu remembered.
Durant held the ball in his left hand, and after jumping and dribbling, he changed direction significantly, held the ball in his right hand to speed up his breakthrough, dribbled behind his back on the move, ignored Paul Pierce's block, and made a mid-range step-back jump shot.
"OH! Kevin Durant! Cross over, Count it! And a foul!"
The commentator Mike Breen saw Durant's mid-range hit and caused a foul by Paul Pierce, so he immediately increased his commentary volume.
Coupled with the fact that Turtle also began to hit the mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, and continued to hit the inside, the Thunder were attacking wave after wave.
"Russell! Puts it in! It's good!"
"OH, tough shot! Kayce, Fade away! He got it!"
In the third quarter of the game, the point difference was still not narrowed. Although the Celtics were tenaciously chasing points, they were still unable to successfully defend against the Thunder's offense. The fans are all watching, the Big Three vs. the Big Three!
However, when the game progressed to the fourth quarter, the physical gap between the two sides became apparent. The Thunder trio was still alive and kicking, but the Celtics' old Big Three were a little out of breath.
The Thunder team attacked, and Li Ze wanted to catch the ball with his back directly from the waist, but the old Ray Allen was a bit on top at this time. He was completely blown away by Li Ze in this game. If you want to turn your back, you immediately start half-circling forward to defend.
The two of them tore apart and pulled each other to the left waist position. Feeling that the turtle seemed to be difficult to pass the ball, Li Ze suddenly made an upward gesture covertly, turned his back to take the position, and then suddenly turned around and cut directly. Insider.
At this time, the tortoise's pass also happened to appear in mid-air, Li Ze jumped up to catch the ball, and after a short stay in the air, he dunked in the air with a tomahawk!
"Kang" the dunk was successful.
"what!!"
Seeing Li Ze complete another wonderful dunk, the audience on the scene began to burst into loud cheers. Everyone was cheering for Li Ze's ball, and also cheering for the upcoming victory. Another win!
Ray Allen really tried his best. After gaining weight, Li Ze has completely crushed the opponent physically. The difference in weight, height, and strength all make it more difficult for Ray Allen to defend. The most important thing is , the 35-year-old body can't stand it anymore
Seeing that the point difference could never be narrowed, with 4 minutes and 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the head coach Rivers took the initiative to request a timeout, replaced the water dispenser players, and called for gold to withdraw. After all, veterans should not consume too much.
Afterwards, the head coach of Brooks also quickly carried out a personnel rotation. After the main players left the court, they received warm applause from the audience.
The players who came off the bench also played very hard. Of course, everyone in the national live broadcast had to do their best. In the end, at 97:119, the Thunder successfully defeated the Celtics at home.
Li Ze once again scored the team's highest score in this game, 17 of 13, including 6 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover and 2 blocks. Durant scored 28 points and Turtle scored 23. Points, the trio scored 85 points, blowing up the old Big Three.
After the game, Li Ze, who got the highest score in the game, was preparing to be interviewed by the famous ESPN reporter Doris Burke. For this national broadcast, the broadcaster had come up with the best staffing.
"Congratulations, Kayce, you performed perfectly tonight. It's hard to believe that you are still a second-year rookie. Can you briefly talk about tonight's victory? Many fans are curious about why you can play such an efficient offense."
Li Ze didn't expect the other party to ask such a simple question. He immediately understood that this famous blonde reporter should be regarded as one of his own, and he had no tendency to make trouble. After wiping the sweat off his face, Li Ze replied with a smile:
"Tonight's victory belongs to everyone. I have to praise my teammates. Many of them have made selfless contributions. Jeff Green, he has been guarding Garnett tonight's game, Krstic, Every time he covered, he gave his best."
"With Kevin and Russell on the outside, I don't have to worry about being double-teamed by the opponent. This is a team victory, and the efficient offense is also due to our coaching staff."
"Brooks head coach and assistant coaches designed the most suitable tactics for us, we worked hard and finally achieved good results!"
Doris Burke nodded secretly when she heard Li Ze's words, then continued to ask questions with a smile:
"The voting channel for the All-Star Game is about to open. Is there anything you want to say to the fans?"
"Wow! Time flies! It's time for the All-Star voting again. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for voting last year, which allowed me to be selected as an All-Star. I will continue to play hard this season, and I hope everyone will give you a lot of support. Haha, Better put me in the starting lineup!"
"Congratulations again Kayce, I will vote for you too, thank you for accepting my interview!"
Doris Burke greeted Li Ze with a fist bump with a smile, and the two chatted privately. After hearing the shouts from the Oklahoma City fans on the sidelines, Li Ze left.
In the Thunder locker room, Durant looked at the technical statistics after the game, and his heart began to go crazy. In this game, he made 17 of 9, 6 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, 28 points, 6 rebounds and 2 Assist 1 turnover, looking at the data is good, but compared with Li Ze, there is a problem
Both of them took 17 shots, but in terms of scoring efficiency, he was at a disadvantage. In order to control his shooting rate, Durant has cherished every shot, but in the end he was still not as good as Li Ze, which made him sour. Too bad!
"After this game, we still have three consecutive home games. What a happy schedule! The team should have a holiday tomorrow, how about we have a barbecue party?"
When Guigui thought that he would have a lot of time to spend with his girlfriend, he was in a good mood, and immediately started to organize a party.
"This is definitely a good idea! I want to eat meat so much! Russell, we can go to the steak shop owner to get the ingredients, I am a master of barbecue!"
As soon as Li Ze returned to the locker room, he heard Guigui talking about barbecue, and he suddenly regained his energy. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't eat meat for a day!
"Great, after we have a big meal, we can go out to have fun at night!"
"yeah!!"
The battle between the old and new Big Three ended with the Thunder winning. This also surprised the media reporters in Amelia. After all, in the opening game, the Heat's Big Three were taught to be human, but the Thunder's trio actually won so much. easy?
At this time, everyone on Reddit and Twitter praised the Thunder’s performance wildly, bluntly saying that this is the Big Three that everyone is looking forward to, and Thunder fans are even more aggressive on Reddit. One squirt.
"If Kayce is elected this season's MVP, I will not be surprised at all. He is really good. Look at those crazy three-pointers. God, for the first time, I feel that outside shooting is so easy!"
"KD is very good, but Kayce is better. Maybe it's the difference in offensive selection. KD likes to break through to the inside to cause fouls, while Kayce prefers to complete the three-pointer with a step back from the outside. I just want to say, the Thunder are champions!"
"Terrible shooting ability. As long as a pick-and-roll attack is launched, many big players can't switch on the defensive end. This is the talent of the Thunder team. We are so happy!"
"Three-pointers, mid-range shots, dunks, God! This is Kayce's second year in his career, and he will completely dominate the league!"
"Guys! This year we must put all three into the All-Stars, Kayce, Russell, Kevin VS James, Wade, Bosh, cool! I am so looking forward to this matchup."
"This reminds me of last year's All-Star Game. Kayce and Kevin ruined LeBron James' AMVP. This is a grievance game!"
"Hurry up and get votes! I want Kayce to start!"
The influence of this nationally broadcast game is gradually spreading, and the All-Star voting channel is about to open, Thunder fans are becoming more and more active, and soon America's media also thought that the Thunder's trio might be You can play a game with the Heat's Big Three in the All-Star Game!
Various topics of discussion emerged in endlessly, and the national live broadcast also brought some disadvantages. More basketball fans, professional trainers, and well-known coaches began to study the Thunder's tactical play.
Many trainers even explained each of Li Ze's attacks in detail frame by frame. This kind of basketball video was posted on Youtube, and it immediately attracted a lot of traffic. For Li Ze's hot topic, everyone went crazy.
At that time, on November 11th, when Holiday came to Li Ze's home with the team's away game, he couldn't help teasing Li Zelai:
"Kayce, I didn't expect that there are so many details in your technical movements. You have so many changes in a simple tentative step. You guys didn't give those trainers public relations fees. Recently, many people on YouTube Analyzing your technical moves."
When Li Ze heard what Holiday said, the corner of his mouth twitched. He had fully experienced the power of the Internet. These trainers are absolutely free. Compared with Durant, Li Ze, who is two meters tall, is closer to ordinary people. There are a lot of people, so everyone is also happy to see the detailed explanation of Li Ze's actions
"It doesn't matter! Even if they analyze it, the same technique, different physical fitness, the effect will be different. Last year, my core strength was a little weaker, and I couldn't complete many movements easily. These guys are all cheating traffic!"
"How is the 76ers recently? You also selected Evan Turner with the second overall pick this year. The critics have rated him well. You will definitely have a chance to make the playoffs this season."
After hearing Li Ze's words, Holiday shrugged helplessly:
"Maybe the lineup still needs to be adjusted for a while. We started with 2 wins and 5 losses. To be honest, the game was a mess. Iguodala was also troubled by injuries. But in the East, maybe 40 wins can enter the playoffs!"
"Playing a few more playoffs will definitely accelerate growth, come on, Bro!"
On the night of the 10th, the Ford Center Arena was full again, and Oklahoma City's attendance rate was almost ranked among the top three in the league.
The 76ers head coach Doug Collins has an interesting lineup tonight, one big and four small, Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner partnering in the backcourt, new aid Andres Nocioni and veterans Elton Brand formed the front line, and the center was the newly traded Spencer Hawes.
There are veterans and rookies in this lineup. It looks good, but the ability to protect the basket is weak, otherwise it won't start and win 2 games.
Facing a team with average frame protection ability, Guigui once again showed his breakthrough ability. After the game started, he made sudden shots. The high pick-and-roll at the 5th position was very good. At 1:24, the two sides faced each other, and the Thunder took an 32-point lead in the first quarter.
In the following game, as the 76ers began to make consecutive mistakes, the Thunder quickly extended their lead to 14 points.
In the end, at 96:112, the Thunder easily defeated the 76ers at home and maintained their winning streak.
In this game, Guigui played the best and scored the team's highest 28 points. Li Ze and Durant both scored 24 points, and the trio played steadily again.
Holiday made 6 turnovers in this game, three of which were directly intercepted by Li Ze. After the game, Holiday found Li Ze with a wry smile, and directly complained:
"Remember to be merciful next time, 6 turnovers in a game, breaking the record!"
"Failure is the mother of success. Only continuous failure will lead to success. Keep going, Bro!"
Li Ze sent out his own poisonous chicken soup again. Seeing Holiday's depressed face, Li Ze almost laughed outright.
On November 11, the Thunder once again ushered in the old rival Trail Blazers at home. Perhaps because of the ugly loss a few days ago, the Trail Blazers played very aggressively in this game. Roy and Batum He even fired from outside the three-point line again and again.
At the end of the first quarter, at 1:35, the Trail Blazers led by 30 points, but during the rotation stage, Li Ze hit hard again, hitting 5 consecutive three-pointers and helping the Thunder overtake the score with 4 points in a single quarter.
The main lineup returned in the second half, and the Thunder played another wave in the third quarter, which directly established the victory. In the end, 3:102, the Thunder once again defended their home court and started the season with 112 consecutive victories. This also made Oklahoma City fans Completely happy, Thunder champion!
On November 11th, the last home game of the Thunder, tonight will face the Spurs who started with 14 wins and 7 loss.
The Spurs this season did not make too many lineup adjustments during the offseason. Although they were swept by the Thunder in the playoffs, Coach Popovich also thought about adding defensive players on the flanks, but the Spurs also Not rich, and in the end this idea will die down.
Popovich can understand the meaning of the uniform team: the team has no money, let's make do!
However, this season the Spurs were able to achieve 7 wins and 1 loss at the beginning of the season, mainly due to some adjustments to the possession of the ball. Three-point shooting, Matt Bonner's playing time has also increased a lot.
Tonight's game is a live broadcast on NBATV. Everyone in the Spurs team was extremely excited. Before the game, in the Spurs locker room, Coach Popovich was very satisfied with the players' condition. Opened his mouth and said:
"Defensive issues, I won't emphasize too much before the game. Guys, we must increase our three-point shooting in this game. The opponent likes to defend the zone. We must respond from the outside at the beginning to open up the offensive space."
"Tony, according to the game plan, play more pick-and-rolls at the 5th position on the offensive end. Whether it's a two-pointer or a three-pointer, shoot resolutely when there is an opportunity. Tonight we must first recover some interest!"
Seeing no response from the crowd, Popovich was speechless and couldn't help shouting:
"Got it guys?"
"Yes, Sir!"
NBATV's live broadcast is completely different from ESPN and TNT. There is no special commentary team and no more media reporters.
Li Ze didn't care about these things. What made him a little depressed was that the Spurs' outside line was too accurate after the opening, which also made him feel the feeling of other teams facing the Thunder.
Especially when Manu Ginobili faced his attack and threw a three-pointer again, Li Ze was completely speechless, and complained helplessly in his heart:
"Are the old guys taking Dali pills? It seems that the sweep of the gentleman last season is still a feud."
At this time, the first quarter of the game has been played for more than 1 minutes. At 5:19, the outside line of the Spurs went berserk. Popovich on the sidelines was very satisfied with the team's performance. His premonition was indeed right:
"Three-pointers can destroy this Thunder team!"
Coach Brooks saw Daequan Cook on the bench and shook his head secretly. The opponent did not perform well in training, and he was only 5 points behind. He wanted to observe the team's performance again:
"Sure enough, like last season, there are still problems with three-pointers"
