The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 190 Soaring Popularity (7800 word chapter)
In the NBA, 100% shooting is also considered a rare record.

而谈起这项记录，天朝球迷们最熟悉的是大姚在2009年1月17日对阵热火的比赛中12投全中，拿到了26分10篮板，成功带领火箭队取胜。

Since the game between the Thunder and the Nets was broadcast live on NBATV across the United States, when Amerika’s media reporters received that Li Ze made all 19 shots and 13 of 13 three-pointers, they almost thought they had traveled to April Fool’s Day and repeatedly confirmed After finding out that this data was true, everyone was blown away.

On Twitter that night, everyone in the NBA circle was frantically discussing Li Ze's performance, because Li Ze not only broke the regular season three-pointer records of Kobe and Marshall, but also broke Chamberlain's ancient all-time record.

1967年2月25日，费城76人对巴尔的摩子弹队（华盛顿奇才前身）的比赛，“上古神兽”张伯伦张大帅18投全中，罚球14中6，最终得到42分30篮板10助攻的超级三双。

Before Li Ze, the record of 100% shooting in a single game and the most shots was Chamberlain's 18 times, and the highest score was Chamberlain's 42 points, while Li Ze's 19 shots and 51 points performance directly put this The records were all broken!
Many fans of Amerika have no impression of the ancient NBA basketball, but this record has been maintained for 43 years before being broken by Li Ze, which is enough to make everyone realize Li Ze's horror.

When the fans looked at Li Ze’s performance in this game carefully, they found out that in 51 minutes, there were no free throws at all, and 13 three-pointers were thrown in three quarters. Many people were stunned. .

"Damn 2K11, I can't even use Li in the game to perform like this, score 90? It's not too much to give 95!"

"Dude, after all, this is a game that was released in October. Maybe the official score should be revised. Just looking at Li's performance in the playoffs last year, 10 is too low."

"For the first time, I felt that scoring is so simple. Maybe I can play in the NBA. Chamberlain's 18 strikes are already exaggerated, but Kayce's performance, is this the possession of the basketball god?"

"Many of you must have not seen Kayce's performance in the regular season in the past year. He scored 1 points in the first year of his rookie season, hit 46 three-pointers in a single game, and made 9 of 12 shots in the Rookie Challenge, breaking the record. With the three-point record and the highest scoring record in this event, you should really pay more attention to him."

"God! Why do I have no impression of Lee's performance in the regular season last year? Although Lee has won the best rookie, his performance last year should receive more attention. I have to watch Lee's collection. I I've become a loyal fan of his!"

"Okay City is too difficult. We can't sign a good local broadcast contract. Last year, there were only 4 national broadcasts. Fortunately, we reached the Western Conference Finals. This season can finally let everyone see how the trio play. gone."

"I don't mean to disrespect Oklahoma City, but if Lee is in New York or Los Angeles, his popularity can be doubled directly, and everyone will be crazy about him!"

"How about having Kayce bring his talent to New York? I'm a New York fan and I want to see him in New York. Madison Square Garden definitely deserves Kayce!"

"It's a luxury tax anyway. I'm a Lakers fan. I want to see Kayce come to Los Angeles. He can play the 1 position, so Fisher can go to the bench. Together with Kobe, they have a chance to dominate the next 10. year."

"Kayce helped UCLA win the NCAA championship. He has always been very popular in Los Angeles. As long as it is a game against the Clippers, I will go to the scene to support him. By the way, I will complain about the ticket price of the Lakers. I really hope they put the front row Ticket prices have come down."

"Shet! Kayce will not leave Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City fans will always support him. We will create a Thunder dynasty!"

"Your salary ranks third from the bottom in the league this season. I think the managers of other teams are fully prepared. If you are ready to implement the team option, then please prepare for the maximum salary in advance, believe me , Perhaps many teams are already preparing for this matter!"

"Fack! If we win the championship, we will pay the luxury tax. The management will never dismantle such an outside combination foolishly!"

On December 12, everyone in the Thunder team took a brief rest in New York. Tomorrow they will fly to Toronto to challenge the Raptors in an away game. Fortunately, the game last night did not consume much energy. Faced with such a schedule, everyone seems relatively relaxed.

The Nets, who had completed back-to-back battles, also gave the players a day off. When Li Ze arrived at Yi Jianlian's apartment in New York, it was already close to 11 o'clock. Last night, Ah Lian scored 14 points and 7 rebounds. He noticed that Ah Lian had just finished his workout. Li Ze sighed and said:

"You can relax properly, there is no need to push yourself too hard, Brother Lian, do you have any news about the Asian Championships?"

Yi Jianlian, dressed in sports clothes, heard Li Ze's question, shook his head first, then said with a wry smile:

"We didn't win a game in the World Championships, but our team showed up. Coach Deng Huade can be said to have completed the task. The result is good, but the process is a bit ugly. The Basketball Association may still want to replace him directly."

"Perhaps you don't pay much attention to the domestic public opinion situation. Many media reporters are mocking Deng Huade for his lack of tactics and only playing chicken blood. Everyone knows that as long as you are recruited back, your performance in Asian competitions will definitely be greatly improved. "

"Many old coaches are also moved. If they get the Olympic qualification next year, they will be able to coach the team to go to the London Olympics. If they really reach the quarter-finals again, it will be regarded as tying the best record in history. Anyway, now the two sides Deng Huade doesn't want to dismiss get out of class, he is also complaining about the basketball association's decision this year."

Li Ze looked weird when he heard this. Before the Olympic Games started, he had already discussed the matter of reaching the quarterfinals. He himself was not so confident. After all, basketball is for 5 people, and FIBA ​​rules are more conducive to insiders. It is also more likely to be double-teamed, and the domestic cakes are also distributed too early.

"The Basketball Association has considered too much. It is related to the qualifications for the Olympics. Just recruit me directly. Then I can return to China early. It just so happens that Keds also has a lot of activities, and the two things will be done together."

Li Ze sat down on the sofa and complained helplessly. The efficiency of the basketball association is too low. Before the game is played, the loan has already been good. Become the second Liu Xiang.
Yi Jianlian couldn't say anything, after all, he was also in this system, but he was also very concerned about the Olympics. After all, this was an opportunity to win glory for the country. Noticing that Li Ze was a little depressed, he immediately comforted him:
"You don't need to care about the coaches. You will definitely be recruited into the national team in the end. You don't have to worry about tactical play. You have played in the NCAA, and you must have no problem with the execution of various tactics."

"The biggest problem may be that you have to adapt to our outside shooting efficiency. This matter will be settled in about June. You can rest assured and wait for the Basketball Association to contact you."

"I hope it will be settled soon, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing to return to China during the offseason."

On December 12, everyone from the Thunder successfully arrived in Toronto. As soon as they got off the plane, Li Ze met many enthusiastic fans. In 3, how to quickly increase his popularity, breaking records and live broadcasting across the United States is definitely the best weapon. Li Ze Ze is completely popular in North America this time.

"Cool! Kayce, now all the fans have recognized you. If I have the chance, I will break a few records. The media reporters have been frantically reporting about you for the past two days, and even the team has suffered a lot. focus on."

Seeing many fans picking up the plane, Guigui immediately said to Li Ze in an envious tone.

"Russell, records are meant to be broken, maybe you can achieve even greater achievements in the future, come on, Bro!"

Hearing Li Ze's words, Durant began to imagine the attention he received after he broke Li Ze's record by making all 20 shots, but the more he thought about it, the more sour he became. data:

"Why was Chamberlain so bad at free throws back then? If he made a few more free throws, the record for the highest score would not be broken."

LeBron James' offseason decisions hurt Cavaliers fans first, and Raptors fans second.

Although there was early news that Bosh might leave Houston, many Raptors fans expressed that they could accept such a result. After all, playing in Toronto is considered going abroad. The boss of the team misses his motherland and wants to go back to play. Extenuating circumstances.

But after the July decision was settled, the Raptors fans felt completely uncomfortable. After all, Bosh was the boss of the Raptors. As a result, LeBron James made a decision, and his boss ran to be a junior. This made many fans completely sad.

Bosh's soft behavior was criticized by the Raptors fans, but fortunately the team started the new season pretty well, and has achieved a record of 7 wins and 11 losses so far, so the fans also put down their attacking steps and were honest again. A real fan of his own home team.

The Raptors did not make too many personnel adjustments during the offseason. In this year's draft, they selected Ed Davis, who is 13 meters tall and has good physical talent, with the No.2 pick in the first round.

Afterwards, guard Jerry Bayless was traded from the Hornets, Leandro Barbosa was acquired from the Suns, and forward player Linas Kleiza was traded from the Nuggets. These are the main rotation players for the Dragons.

The attendance rate of the Air Canada Center Stadium tonight is particularly high, especially after Li Ze broke the ancient record of Chamberlain, many fans directly chose second-hand scalpers, just to see Li Ze play tonight.

It's just that after more than three minutes into the game, Li Ze was very depressed to find that the Raptors were strictly defending his three-pointers. After the pick-and-roll attack occurred, the flank defense quickly rotated. DeRozan will directly choose to double-team and let him play the ball.

At the same time, the head coach of the Raptors, Jane Triano, and his coaching staff also paid close attention to the weakness of the poor quality of the Thunder's inside screens. , This also makes the quality of the Thunder's three-pointer tactics not high.

The Raptors' offense, Amir Johnson and Andrea Bargnani cross-screened in the paint, and then Bargnani came directly to the low post to receive the ball, facing Kostic's defense, and quickly released his right hand. The ball took a step up the line, then turned around directly, and succeeded in a layup with a dexterous low hand.

"Oh!!"

The audience at the scene immediately cheered for the performance of their home team players. After the opening, Bargnani has scored three goals in a row. The fans are very satisfied with his performance.

The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball. After the turtle dribbled through the half court, they immediately had a high pick-and-roll with Kostic, and then went straight to the inside. Noticing the contraction of the Raptors' defense, they quickly threw the ball to Jeff Green in the bottom corner , and the Raptors' outside line also attacked very quickly, and the Thunder's outside line began to pass the ball quickly.

When Li Ze received the ball, DeRozan immediately stuck to the defense, and at the same time strictly guarded Li Ze's left hand. Facing such a defense, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand, broke through directly, and marched to the left elbow of the free throw line. Sudden behind-the-back dribble, step-back jumper away from the defense.

"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.

"Aha!"

After Li Ze scored a goal, there was a burst of cheers at the scene. Li Ze, who retreated, was dissatisfied with this performance. The price-performance ratio of two points is not high, but the defensive strategy of the Raptors in this game is not to give three-pointers. The defense is very targeted.

Coupled with Durant's limited game time, in the second half of the first quarter, the Raptors took advantage of their home court and began to frantically rush for offensive rebounds, and the Thunder's offensive rhythm also began to slow down.

At 24:22, the Thunder only led by two points in the first quarter, and Coach Brooks was a little helpless. After Sefolosha played, the defensive end performed very well, but the offensive end could not effectively open up space.

Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, had only one thought in his mind:
"People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. All NBA teams must have started to repeatedly study the Thunder's tactics."

Coach Brooks saw that the team's offense was not going well in the first quarter, so he directly let Li Ze and Durant start in the rotation stage, and at the same time told his players:
"Be patient guys, you have to be patient on offense, and you have to be patient on the defensive end. The opponent's outside shooting is not good, and the defensive rotation needs to be fast. Kayce and Kevin, after playing, play some partial 2v2 cooperation."

"Efficient shooting, tough defense, cheer up, after this game, we can go back to Oklahoma City!"

After the start of the second quarter, the Thunder took the lead in attacking. Li Ze used half court and directly gave the ball to Durant on the right flank.

While Durant was holding the ball, Ibaka came over to cover and then quickly slid down. Ed Davis lacked defensive experience and did not keep an eye on Durant for a while. After watching Durant take a step with his left hand, Long two-point pull-up jumper shot.

"Shua" two-pointer hit steadily.

In the rotation lineup of the Raptors, the two defenders Jerry Bayless and Leandro Barbosa are only 191cm tall, DeMar DeRozan tops the third position, Ed David Linus and Linas Kleiza partnered inside.

Faced with such a lineup, Li Ze and Durant are almost all misplaced. After the screen, there will naturally be a lot of opportunities. Since the opponent strictly guards against three-pointers, they should use the mid-range to solve the problem.

After quickly sending the baseline ball, Jerry Bayless dribbled across the half court. Barbosa used Kleiza's pick-and-roll to kill the inside line. Break through the ball and quickly give the ball to Ed Davis inside.

The latter received the ball and was so excited that he wanted to dunk directly. When he was about to push the ball into the basket in the air, Li Ze, who was chasing Barbosa, recovered the basket at this time, jumped high, and blocked the block with one hand. , directly destroyed the opponent's dunk.

"Oh!!"

After the two confronted each other in the air, Li Ze relied on his excellent core strength to stand firmly on the ground, while Ed Davis staggered. Seeing this scene, the audience all subconsciously exclaimed.

Collison at the basket took the opportunity to control the ball and immediately gave the ball to Li Ze. The Thunder quickly launched a transition attack, and the Raptors quickly retreated. Complete the defensive position, give an offensive gesture to the teammates, and play the same tactic again.

Passing the ball directly to Durant outside the three-point line, Ibaka raised the screen, and Li Ze quickly ran to the right corner, noticing that the Raptors' defensive attention was all focused on the upper line. Li Ze suddenly cut in along the baseline.

Durant's pass was also just right, he accurately hit the ground and found Li Ze who was cutting in. When the inside Linus Kleiza reacted, he found that Li Ze had already jumped with both feet and jumped high. A powerful one-armed tomahawk dunk!
"哐" cut into the dunk and succeeded!
"Wow!"

Li Ze's wonderful dunk also made the audience scream excitedly. Many old Raptors fans remembered Carter's dunk at the beginning. The movement was stretched and powerful, and the dunk movements of the two were very similar.

Li Ze, who successfully dunked the dunk, did not celebrate too much. He just gave Durant a high-five as a signal, and then quickly returned to the defense. In the next few minutes, relying on the performance of Li Ze and Durant, the Thunder gradually divided the points. The difference widened to 8 points.

At halftime, 52:46, the Thunder entered the second half with a six-point lead.

During the intermission, in the Thunder locker room, Guigui couldn't help complaining about the offensive rhythm of the game:

"This is the home court of the Raptors. As a result, the opponent played every attack for 24 seconds. The audience may almost fall asleep!"

"It is estimated that there will be more and more games like this in the future. Other teams must have studied our tactics. I have to admit that this kind of slow-paced game really made us feel uncomfortable. We only took the lead at halftime. 6 points."

Although Li Ze is a little depressed, he can only accept the reality. Every team in the league will adopt this method in the future, especially the team with the twin towers. of 24 seconds.
"It's okay, we can end the game with a two-pointer!"

Durant likes this kind of game rhythm a little bit. Once the three-pointer tactics can't be played, the Thunder's offense will sometimes rely on his personal singles, and mid-range shooting is also what Durant is best at.

Jeff Green was a little depressed when he heard Durant's words. He got a lot of opportunities on the outside in this game, but unfortunately his shooting touch was not good. The open three-pointer was missed.

In the second half of the game, although the Raptors were behind, they still attacked in a calm manner. Each offensive round was close to 24 seconds. Even if the final shot was made, the next offensive round would continue.

This kind of slow-paced game also made the audience in the Air Canada Center Stadium extremely depressed. No one likes to watch defensive battles. People look drowsy.

The game progressed tepidly, and the Thunder always attacked patiently, not giving the Raptors any chance to counterattack.

In the end, at 98:92, the Thunder successfully defeated the Raptors in the away game. Li Ze made 14 of 8 in this game, including 2 of 0 three-pointers and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. The team's defense really played a big role.

After the game, Li Ze saw a depressed DeRozan and praised him with a smile:
"Your three-point defense is really good. Every screen is easily squeezed by you. Believe me, you will soon become the team's first scorer. The three-threat action is good."

DeRozan scored 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in this game. Hearing what Li Ze said, he immediately said with a wry smile:

"The team has been studying how to defend the Heat since the beginning of the season, and recently began to study how to defend against you. To be honest, I don't like this kind of game rhythm. We did what the coaching staff asked, but we still lost."

"Keep going! Bro, you should also develop your own three-point shooting. Maybe the offensive rhythm of the league will become faster and faster in the future!"

On December 12th, after everyone in the Thunder team returned to Oklahoma City for a brief rest, they will face the Golden State Warriors at home tonight. Stephen Curry can be regarded as a bitter daughter-in-law at this time. After the core of the team, the problem of possession of the ball has been somewhat improved.

It's just that what makes Stephen Curry a little depressed is that the head coach Keith Smart doesn't seem to like his way of playing. Once he makes a mistake in the game, he will be replaced by the head coach soon.

This also makes Stephen Curry extremely distressed. As an offensive point guard, mistakes are inevitable, and in many cases, his choice of three-pointers is not approved by the head coach. But he lost the right to fire freely
Stephen Curry, who came to Oklahoma City with the team, is visiting Li Ze’s house at this time. Thinking of Li Ze breaking the three-pointer record a few days ago, Stephen Curry said with great envy:

"Kayce, I watched your game against the Nets, and your performance was unbelievable. I really envy your situation in the Thunder."

Li Ze handed Curry a bucket of buttered popcorn, then said with a smile:

"That's because the Thunder is a rookie team. All the tactical arrangements are redesigned. It wasn't until I joined the team that the team officially determined the tactical play. This is different from the Warriors. After you join the team Before, Monta Ellis was the core player."

Curry looked a little hesitant looking at the buttered popcorn in front of him. After struggling for a while, he temporarily resisted the temptation and began to complain about his situation:

"The team management just said I was a core player in the off-season, but the new head coach didn't like my playing style. He wanted me to become a traditional guard, dribble half court, pass the ball to the big man, But that’s not how I play.”

"Then it seems that you have to persist for another season. Even if the team wants to change the head coach, it will have to wait until next season. This is a special popcorn. I specially adjusted it according to your taste."

After hearing Li Ze's words, Curry smelled the sweet scent again, but still couldn't resist the temptation, grabbed a few and stuffed them directly into his mouth, then his eyes widened instantly:

"Wow! It's so delicious, it's definitely a plus! It's much better than the popcorn you sell at Oklahoma City!"

After Curry buried his head and ate it, he suddenly thought of something, swallowed the popcorn in his mouth, and said to Li Ze:

"This year, our team also signed an undrafted Chinese-American player, Jeremy-LIN. He went to Harvard University and has good speed. Did you know each other before?"

When Li Ze heard Curry mentioning Jeremy Lin, he remembered that the other party was once an undrafted pick. There was a feeling of witnessing history, which suddenly came to mind:

"I started in high school and lived in Los Angeles most of the time. Although he is Chinese, we did not meet before. If you have the opportunity to help me take care of him, oh! I forgot that you are also a rookie, you will not still give Veterans on the team running errands for donuts?"

Curry also laughed at himself when he heard what Li Ze said, and continued:

"You're right, but Monta is a good person in life. He has always taken care of rookies. As for Jeremy-LIN, to be honest, it may be difficult for him to get playing time in the Warriors. Know."

"Of course, the matter of playing time is decided by the coach. You just need to chat with him more in the team. With the help of core players like you to talk, his situation in the locker room will also be much better. .”

"It's a small matter! You have to tell me the recipe for this butter popcorn, it's really delicious!"

"."

The Ford Center Arena has another seat tonight. Since Li Ze came to the team, the team's tickets have been sold out. After Li Ze broke Chamberlain's ancient record, the Oklahoma City fans were all overjoyed.

The Warriors sent a lot of veterans in the offseason, traded Dorell White from the Heat, and signed All-Star David Lee from New York. Rings also got more playing time.

After the start of the new season, the Warriors currently have a record of 8 wins and 11 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference. Although they have made considerable progress compared to last season, the competition in the Western Conference is fierce, and it is not easy to break into the top 8. easy job.

Keith Smart is indeed a very traditional coach. After playing for more than three minutes in the first quarter, the Warriors continuously gave the ball to David Lee inside. An onslaught.

But the Thunder are not afraid of this kind of attack. How to deal with the Twin Towers team, everyone in the Thunder team has more experience. As long as David Lee catches the ball in the low position, Li Ze or Durant on the flank will directly shrink and carry out the attack on the line. Double-team, forcing David - Lee turned to the baseline.

And once the opponent turned to the bottom line, it was no different from facing a three-person double-team. After all, the sideline is also a defense line. As long as the Warriors' several offenses hit David Lee, it was basically either a strike or a mistake.

The Warriors attacked, and David Lee once again faced the pincer attack of Li Ze and Jeff Green. This time he quickly passed the ball to the outside, but the passing route was too obvious, and he was easily predicted by the turtle. The ball was stolen, then accelerated directly, rushing towards the opponent's half.

Although Stephen Curry is a bit thin, as a rookie, he is definitely not aggressive in defense. He has been physically confronting the tortoise on his side, trying to delay the Thunder's conversion attack.

However, the strong tortoise didn't care about Curry beside him. From the corner of his eye, he spotted Li Ze who was accelerating at full speed. After rushing to the paint area, he made a fake pass and threw the ball back with his left hand.

Li Ze behind him naturally understood, but when he caught the ball in the air after taking off, he obviously felt that the ball was too big.
At this time, Li Ze exaggerated his arms in the air and pulled back, his body bent into a big bow. After taking off, his head was almost flat, and then his arms exerted strength. Without touching the basket, he was condescending, just like playing volleyball, and swung the ball directly. into the basket!

"Boom, kuang." The dunk was successful.

Curry under the basket stared blankly at Li Ze. The height of the jump, the strength of the dunk, and the degree of stretch of the movement, he was envious to death. He only hated that he was not tall enough, otherwise he would have to try such a dunk.
"what!!"

"Oh, God!"

The explosive dunk immediately detonated the atmosphere in the Ford Center arena. At this time, the score was 8:16. After only 4 minutes of the opening game, the Thunder had already led by 8 points.

The spectators on both sides of the basketball stand stood up in an instant, subconsciously yelled loudly, venting their excitement in their hearts, such a slam dunk action is really outrageous!
Li Ze was about to pretend to be an X to the bottom line camera, but the over-excited tortoise rushed over immediately, hugging Li Ze and screaming, Li Ze, who couldn't pretend to be X, couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and silently complained in his heart:

"I'm a turtle. Behind every wonderful alley-oop dunk, there is an unreliable passer!"
