The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 208 Outrageous hit rate
Chapter 208 Outrageous hit rate (chapter of [-] words)
As the trade deadline approaches, whether it is determined to compete for the championship to strengthen the lineup, or to save money for the team by performing badly, as the All-Star Game approaches, all teams begin to operate frequently.
On the afternoon of February 2th, after a brief reminiscence with Nash, Li Ze followed the Thunder for pre-match recovery training. Considering that both Jeff Green and Krstic in the team may be lost by Pressley After the trade, there has been no gossip about the trade in the locker room.
However, after surfing the Internet for the past few days, Li Ze still noticed a few transactions that caught his attention:
For example, the Dallas Mavericks signed Peja Stojakovic as a free agent, and the Pacers hired Frank Vogel as head coach.
Seeing these two pieces of information, Li Ze has a feeling of witnessing history. The Mavericks are about to become a complete team, and the Pacers, which has ushered in Vogel's coaching, will gradually develop into the Heat's road to the championship. stumbling block.
As an excellent business league, the NBA sometimes seems unreasonable. After Stoudemire left the Suns, various data experts predicted the decline of the Suns before the start of the season. Faced with such a situation , The NBA chose to directly reduce the Suns' national live broadcast.
Veteran feelings?Does not exist, poor performance, no star players, not worthy of attention, the league needs to use limited resources to cultivate teams with more potential.
So tonight's game, the national live broadcast is gone. Fortunately, the Suns fans on the scene are still enthusiastic. Every time the Suns complete an offense, there will be huge cheers on the scene, especially after Vince Carter completed two consecutive offenses. , and the audience in the front row shouted excitedly.
The 34-year-old Carter's physical condition has begun to gradually decline, and he can barely be regarded as the tail of the peak. After more than three minutes in the first quarter, the Suns' offense went smoothly, but the Thunder's offense was also unstoppable .
Carter mainly defended Li Ze in this game. Facing the veteran, Li Ze did not intend to be polite at all. With a screen from Kostic, Li Ze quickly bounced out and easily reached the left flank outside the three-point line.
After receiving the pass from the tortoise, Li Ze directly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Carter, who had just turned his defensive rotation into place, slid backwards, and he saw Li Ze's crotch pull back sharply.
His left hand paused slightly, and when Carter's defensive center of gravity moved forward again, Li Ze adjusted his footsteps and shook his body at the same time, holding the ball in his left hand to pretend to break through, and then quickly changed direction in front of his body. Opened Carter's defense.
Carter was stunned for a moment, and Li Ze had already completed the ball at this time, and even made a shot in the middle distance:
"Shua" scored two points easily.
After receiving the ball, he shook it twice and scored a goal. This is Li Ze's offensive efficiency when he did not use oppressive defense on the line. The golden [Difficult Shooting King] + [Hot Zone Hunter] badge bonus effect is too obvious!
In the middle distance, once there is no defensive pressure, Li Ze even feels that even if he throws it blindly, he can have a 5% hit rate.
Coupled with adjusting the offensive rhythm by dribbling, the golden [Rhythm Shooter] can also participate in the combination bonus, so the current simple dribbling and shooting are the most efficient offensive methods for Li Ze, following the body's feeling, It's over!
Watching Li Ze score again, Carter felt a little helpless. With the increase of age and injuries, defensive experience is indeed enough, but the body's reaction speed really can't keep up, especially Li Ze's shaking fast and slow, completely Relying on the explosive power of the body between sudden stops and quick starts, it is too difficult to guard against
The Suns fans at the scene were also a little numb. After the opening, Li Ze and Durant did not miss the offense. They simply covered the ball and then completed the shot. good-looking.
Quickly sent out the baseline ball, Nash dribbled across the half court, the Suns' offensive rhythm was not fast, and after completing a pick-and-roll with Channing Frye in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, he quickly gave the ball to Channing Frye who bounced outside , Facing the pick-and-roll, the Thunder switched defenses directly, and Turtle defended in front of Channing Frye.
With no chance of a three-point shot, Carter on the right flank hurriedly moved to the top of the arc, wanting to go directly to make a hand-to-hand pass.
Due to the decline of the Suns' internal strength, the Thunder, which defended the zone defense at the beginning, turned into a man-to-man defense at this time. Li Ze boldly defended, always firmly sticking to Carter's side.
The first hand-to-hand pass failed. Under the interference of Li Ze, Channing Frye did not dare to pass the ball easily. Carter had no choice but to distance himself from the three-point line. Down, finally successfully catch the ball.
After the pass, Channing Frye wanted to run a high pick-and-roll for Carter, but Li Ze nimbly squeezed past him. Carter wanted to use the pick-and-roll with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough, but felt the defensive pressure on his side. The last one Staggering, helplessly stopping the ball outside the three-point line.
As a former superstar, he was easily restrained by a cute new player on the defensive end. This made Carter feel a little uncomfortable, it was too embarrassing!
With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Carter chose individual singles, continuously dribbled the ball under the crotch outside the three-point line, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, but he did not expect that such an action was directly predicted by Li Ze.
Blocking the route of travel, after a physical confrontation, he stabbed with his left hand, followed by a big step, his right hand directly controlled the ball, and then dribbled across the half court with all his strength. Li Ze ignored Carter who was chasing behind him, and just passed the free throw line One step, take off directly from a long distance.
After gliding in the air and turning the ball around vigorously, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung the ball into the basket with one arm!
"Boom!" The windmill dunked successfully!
Li Ze, who landed steadily, patted his chest and pretended to be X to the camera under the basket expressionlessly. Carter, who was chasing after him, gave up defending after seeing Li Ze take off. The 34-year-old Carter stood on the bottom line, looked at Li Ze with depressed eyes, vaguely showing his 22-year-old shadow
"Shh!"
"Cool! Kayce, we should have defended like this a long time ago. Every time we defend the zone, it makes me feel so uncomfortable!"
Li Ze returned to the half-court with scattered boos, and the turtles on the side immediately stepped forward to high-five in celebration, and then excitedly complained about their previous defensive strategies.
"No way, the insides of other teams are not like the Suns. Robin Lopez's low threat is too small. Stay focused, Russell!"
Although the Thunder had already led by 6 points, Li Ze didn't want to be beaten by the Suns because of lax defense. After all, the opponent's three-point shooting ability is not weak, and the oppressive defense of the whole court has to continue.
Vince Carter, who used to be able to single out most players in the league, is gone. From the off-ball end, with the addition of [off-ball running killer] + [marking master], Li Ze began to stalk Carter hit.
Once the ball is received, [Death Coil] + [Ball Stealing Expert] makes Carter suffer even more. Even if he uses the pick-and-roll, because Channing Frye and Robin Lopez's screen quality is average, Li Ze is excellent. Defensive agility plus the bonus of [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall] can easily squeeze through.
Carter became invisible on the offensive end, and the Suns' offense also began to be constipated. After Nash and Channing Frye missed three-pointers in three rounds, the Thunder played another 6:0 spurt and directly tied the score. The gap widened to 12 points.
At 24:36, the Thunder took a double-digit lead in the first quarter. Li Ze sat on the bench, took the water bottle handed by Ibaka, took a big sip, and added water, then said with a smile :
"The pace of the game is still good. Even if there is no three-pointer, they can lead to double digits. The Suns may not make the playoffs this season."
Durant nodded in agreement when he heard Li Ze's words, and then sighed:
"Maybe Grant Hill should consider retiring. I liked watching him play when I was young, but injuries ruined him. It seems that he has no chance to win the championship."
Durant, who played against Grant Hill in this game, felt a little bit embarrassed. This season, his left-handed offensive ability has improved significantly compared to last season. Grant Hill could make two gestures with him based on his experience, but Now, it has almost become a one-sided crush.
"Very good, everyone is ready to play. Tonight I will increase the rotation. In the second quarter, we will follow the previous game strategy and play more pick-and-rolls at the 2th position. Kayce, control the offensive rhythm on the field. "
Head coach Brooks is very satisfied with the team's performance tonight. If he continues to maintain such a leading advantage, he doesn't mind adding some rotations so that the atmosphere group can also play for a while.
Due to Dragic's injury, during the rotation stage, the Suns' backcourt combination became Zabian Dodell and Michael Pietrus, and the 12-point difference also allowed Gentry to directly send Vince Carter was on, Jared Dudley was on the outside, and Marcin Gortat was the center.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking. Facing such a lineup of one big and four small, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture after dribbling halftime. Ibaka and Collison both went to the free throw line at the same time Two elbow positions.
Noticing that Gortat's defense followed, Li Ze chose to use Collison's pick-and-roll on the right. When Collison moved up the line again, Li Ze, who had been holding the ball slowly, suddenly dribbled behind his right hand.
Before Dudley, who was sticking to the defense, could react, he dribbled the ball behind his back extremely quickly with his left hand, and at the same time lowered the center of gravity of his body. Confusing in and out, while slightly raising the body's center of gravity.
Dudley's defense was slightly taken aback. At this time, Collison's pick-and-roll was also standing on the right flank outside the three-point line. At the moment the pick-and-roll happened, Li Ze quickly changed direction in front of him, sticking to Collison's body, Breaking through to the left, Dudley was completely blocked at this time.
Seeing that his teammate's perimeter defense was gone, Gortat panicked and hurried up to delay. Li Ze's center of gravity dropped very low, and he pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand. Gortat subconsciously slid backwards and watched Li Ze Ze dribbled the ball behind his back, stepped back easily, and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
With continuous beautiful shaking, he successfully got rid of the defense, and finally made a three-pointer. The wonderful goal made the Suns fans on the scene subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then there was a huge booing.
"Shh!"
"The defense is okay!"
After scoring the goal, Li Ze saw Dudley staring at him blankly, and immediately praised the opponent's defense, then quickly retreated, and at the same time told his teammates not to relax and maintain defensive intensity.
"."
Dudley and Gortat were a little confused. Obviously, the Thunder wanted to play the pick-and-roll at the 5th position. This tactic is very simple, with a "V"-shaped position, and two big players lift up to open up space. , Gortat must keep up, otherwise once the pick-and-roll occurs, Li Ze will throw it.
The Suns attacked, Carter did not force himself, but gave the ball to Gortat inside. Facing Collison's defense, Gortat, who wanted the ball in the low post, hit twice, opened the defense, and made two shots at the basket. scored.
The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball. After Li Ze dribbled halftime, he still used the same tactic as in the previous round. This time Gortat defended very quickly, raising his hands high, trying to delay Li Ze, only to find that the ball in Li Ze’s hand was missing. Yes, I heard a burst of exclamation from the scene, and then realized that Li Ze had sent a pass through the crotch.
After receiving the pass from Li Ze, Collison, who went down, took three big steps and dunked successfully with both hands at the basket!
Li Ze raised his eyebrows at Gortat with a smile on his face, and then quickly returned to the defense. When he had the ball in his hand, the basketball intuition brought by the golden [Organizer] badge allowed him to easily grasp the offense on the court Space, whether it is passing or shooting, appears very calm.
In the next few minutes, head coach Gentry on the sidelines directly sat back on the bench. There was no play, and the point difference was close to 20 points. Ibaka and Jeff Green frequently received assists from Li Ze , cast crazy.
On the thunder team's bench, the atmosphere team was quite excited. With a big point difference, they will be able to play!
In the last few games, due to the strength of the opponents, the head coach of Brooks has always insisted on short rotations, and many players did not get 1 minute of playing time. This is also the reason for everyone's excitement, and they can finally play!
In the second half of the third quarter, the head coach of Brooks had already started to rotate. Li Ze was replaced after less than 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. This game also made him feel emotional. The Suns are going silent.
In the hot game between the two teams, the game time passed quickly. In the end, at 112:97, the Thunder team easily defeated the Suns in an away game. With a record of 41 wins and 8 losses, they once again returned to the number one position in the league. .
After the game, Li Ze looked at his technical statistics and sighed again in his heart:
“24分7篮板11助攻2抢断，命中率再次超过6成，或许这就是虐菜小能手吧.”
This game did not attract too many fans' attention on Amerika's side. After all, the Suns' record has collapsed, and star players are running away during the offseason. Except for the local fans in Phoenix, other people will not care about it. Going to watch a Suns game.
But at this time, in the Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean, many fans of the Suns are a little bit defensive. CCTV Sports has also broadcast many Suns games before. The team with a gorgeous attack in 7 seconds naturally attracted many The attention of the fans, on the Hupu forum, the Suns fans have begun to complain crazily:
"Is it possible that I will miss the playoffs this season? Is Lao Na really going to be without a championship for life? My youth is gone!"
"Carter is really dying. The Suns' deal failed again. They shouldn't have traded O'Neal back then. That deal indirectly ruined the Suns."
"Could it be that Li Ze is too strong? So it seems that Carter is a bit weak. I watched Carter play well before, but I really didn't expect that he scored 18 points in this game. Most of the points were not against Li Ze. Got it."
"The Suns are gone. I watched a few games of the Grizzlies. It is estimated that the opponent can get the playoffs this season. In addition, the record of the Hornets is not bad. The Suns may start rebuilding."
"Nash is also old. He took 9 shots in a game. Facing the impact of Westbrook, the defensive end can't stand it at all. Hey, maybe I won't watch the Suns in the future."
"."
On February 2th, after the game against the Suns, everyone in the Thunder immediately flew to Salt Lake City. They will challenge the Jazz tonight. This is also the last back-to-back game before the All-Star Game.
The Jazz currently has a record of 30 wins and 21 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. Although Li Zefu's memory tells him that there may be some internal conflicts in the Jazz team, the Jazz team is currently a united team.
Although Amerika's media reporters have reported that Deron Williams seems to have some conflicts with the old coach Sloan, the previous reports have long been thrown to Java by the fans.
In the game that night, the fans of the Jazz team were still enthusiastic, and many people even spoke loudly, "praising" the Thunder team loudly. I do my own way.
At the end of the first quarter, many Jazz fans were very happy. At 1:30, the Jazz led by 37 points at home. More importantly, Paul Millsap was too efficient. 7 of 6, beat Jeff Green and easily scored 5 points.
In addition, Al Jefferson made 4 of 3 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, and also scored 10 points. The Jazz's inside combination showed great power.
During the break, everyone on the Thunder's bench looked calm. With 30 points in a single quarter, everyone knew that the offense was fine, so even though the score was behind, no one looked depressed.
"Let's change the defensive formation. We don't need to help defend, but at the same time we need to strengthen the outside press and try to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the opponent. Kayce and Sefoloza will press the opponent's defender after halftime. As for the inside defense, We’ve been single-defense from behind.”
As soon as Li Ze heard what Coach Brooks said, he knew that he had given up treatment. In the second half of the first quarter, the opponent was almost blooming inside and outside. turned into man-marking.
Coach Sloan is very satisfied with the performance of the Jazz, especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between Deron Williams and the two insiders, which made him very satisfied.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Jazz made a counter-substitution. Earl Watson and CJ-Myers were normal substitutes. The newcomers Hayward and Paul Millsap also continued to play, 2 meters 2 Al Jefferson was replaced by Francisco Elson.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and Hayward was also a little excited at this time. Li Ze did not attack frequently in the first quarter, and scored 1 points in 4 of 3 in a single quarter. Obviously, this performance made Hayward have an illusion: "I limit Stop him!"
Through observation in one quarter, Li Ze almost understood the Jazz's defensive strategy. Gar Bell and Hayward alternately entangled Li Ze and Durant.
Most of the Jazz's scoring in the first quarter was played by the two insiders and Deron Williams. With each performing their duties, the Jazz performed really well.
After halftime, Li Ze quickly gave the ball to Jeff Green on the left flank beyond the three-point line, and then went directly to the left block to ask for the ball with his back. Hayward always wanted to half-circle forward to defend Unfortunately, Mengxin lacked experience and was firmly stuck behind Li Ze.
After easily receiving the pass from Jeff Green, Li Ze leaned back hard, quickly released the ball with his right hand, and hit two simple and rough bang bang bangs, which made Mengxin Hayward feel tight in his chest, and then his shoulders shook quickly , directly turned over and shot a jumper.
"唰" hits easily at mid-range.
Only then did Hayward remember the fear of being dominated by Li Ze in the previous fight, especially when he saw Li Ze's offensive choice of "uncle is going to fight back", he couldn't help feeling a little numb, and subconsciously glanced at the sidelines. The old coach Sloan couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw the coach's encouraging eyes.
"Next round, I will ask for a seat here!"
Taking advantage of the Jazz's baseline kick, Li Ze whispered something to Hayward who was defending him, and immediately returned to defense without waiting for the cute newcomer to react.
"."
Hayward originally wanted to say a few tough words, but when he thought of Li Ze's scoring ability, he couldn't say some fake words, and the trash talk that couldn't be fulfilled could only make the other party laugh.
The Jazz’s offense, passing the ball quickly from the outside, the Jazz’s coaching staff was fully prepared before the game, Earl Watson immediately passed the ball to CJ Miles on the wing after halftime, and Paul Mirsa on the baseline Pu and Francisco Elson set a simple cross-screen and immediately come to the low post to receive the ball.
Facing Ibaka's defense, Millsap quickly released the ball with his left hand after three threats, went up the line to break through, and after reaching the paint area, quickly pulled the ball back, then turned around quickly, paused slightly, and shook Ibaka's defense away, Scored two points at the basket.
"Good defense! Serge!"
Noticing that Ibaka was a little frustrated, Li Ze immediately encouraged him. In NBA games, sometimes players will enter into a magical game state, how to throw and how to score.
Ibaka's defense just now was not completely out of position, but Millsap tilted his body and put the ball in. This is his personal ability, so don't need to be too entangled, just hit it back and it's over.
Quickly dribbled through the half court, Li Ze once again gave the ball to Sefoloza on the right flank outside the three-point line, and then quickly came to the right block to ask for the ball with his back. Mengxin Hayward wanted to interfere with Li Ze with some small moves Receive the ball, but unfortunately there is a gap in strength between the two.
At the moment when Hayward wanted to go around to defend, Li Ze quickly stepped forward and blocked the opponent with his arms at the same time, then shifted his center of gravity back and leaned back hard. Li Ze stuck firmly behind him.
After receiving the pass from Sefoloza, Li Ze shook his shoulders in the direction of the line in confusion, then quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, took advantage of the trend to break through the bottom line, easily got rid of Hayward's defense, and dribbled the ball vigorously with his right hand twice in a row Came to the basket and took off.
Facing Francisco Elson's block, he tossed and turned in the air, pulled the bar sharply, from the right side of the basket to the left side, twisted his body in the air, and picked the basket lightly with his right hand.
"Snapped"
"My bowl!"
After the air confrontation, Li Ze yelled first, and when he saw the ball fall into the basket, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, then smiled lightly, and walked directly to the free throw line.
Obviously, the referee's penalty made the Jazz fans very dissatisfied, and there was a huge booing immediately. If they brag like this in the next round, they will scold the referee!
"Shhh!!"
"Maybe in two more rounds, we can tie the score!"
Facing the boos of the audience, Li Ze said something to his teammates pretending to be X, then adjusted his breathing, and made the free throw steadily. Everyone in the Jazz team didn't make a sound. This situation made them a little dazed. I always feel that it is too easy for Li Ze to score.
Millsap's offense finally hit the ground, Collison protected the rebound, everyone in the Jazz retreated quickly, and Li Ze's conversion speed was also very fast. At this time, he did not wait for his teammates to attack and settle.
When the Jazz's defense was not yet stable, Li Ze, who was advancing quickly, dribbled behind his left hand after halftime to adjust his dribbling rhythm.
Hayward, who had been by his side, quickly adjusted his defensive focus, and noticed that Li Ze lowered his body's center of gravity again, as if he wanted to break through with the ball in his right hand, and his body moved subconsciously, and then he yelled in his heart: "Not good!"
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand and pretending to make a breakthrough, quickly changed direction ahead of time, noticing that Hayward hadn't completely lost his position, he paused slightly with his left hand, and then pretended to make a breakthrough again, while dribbling vigorously with his left hand on the spot.
Hayward's defensive center of gravity first turned to the right, then to the left, then backwards, and finally made another misjudgment, and subconsciously moved forward to defend, but his body didn't react, and he sat on the ground directly.
"Oh!!"
In the energy solution arena, they all screamed subconsciously when they saw Li Zehuang knocking Hayward down.
At this time, Li Ze directly joined the ball at the top of the arc one step away from the three-point line, then shook his shoulders provocatively, adjusted his breathing, and then made a steady jump shot.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Shh!"
"Shet! Shit goal!"
"He definitely pushed people, otherwise Gordon wouldn't be knocked down, he fouled the referee!"
Li Ze saw many spectators in the front row angrily and began to greet him friendly. He immediately curled his lips, spread his hands, and made a celebratory gesture that Jazz fans don't like very much.
"squeak"
The old coach Sloan directly requested a timeout, and the 7-point difference became 1 point. The second quarter has just started, and he can't stand it anymore. He needs to get the main lineup in advance.
"That's cool, Bro! I knew we'd make it back, haha, maybe at halftime we could make it back!"
Turtle was already beating his chest and screaming excitedly on the bench, while Durant showed envious eyes. He has always been very eager to dribble with both left and right hands like Li Ze, although the weak side of this season His hands have improved, but he still can't make such gorgeous shaking as Li Ze.
"Kayce, drink water drink water!"
Byron of the atmosphere group immediately handed over the water bottle. Although everyone in the locker room knew Li Ze's strength, they still felt a little dazed every time they saw such outrageous performance.
"Just hold two possessions and I guarantee we'll take the lead, remember Millsap's right hand!"
Li Ze once again encouraged his teammates. Before the All-Star Game, it is best to gain some winning advantages. Once the team trades and the lineup does not run smoothly, it is very likely to lose. Therefore, in the recent games, as long as there is a slight chance of winning Li Ze will try his best to fight for the opportunity.
After returning from the timeout, the Jazz took the lead in switching back to the main lineup. The old coach Sloan criticized the defense of the newcomer Hayward, and asked Raja Bell to give Li Ze a physical confrontation on the defensive end.
Deron Williams used Al Jefferson's pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and hit a mid-range emergency stop jumper to help the Jazz stabilize the situation on the court.
The Thunder sent out the baseline ball quickly. Li Ze found that the defender had become Raja Bell after halftime. Collison screens and makes a UCLA cut.
Raja Bell's defense is indeed very aggressive, and the speed of squeezing through the screen is also very fast. There is no chance for an unprecedented basket. Li Ze quickly slipped across the baseline and used Jeff Green's next screen to come to the three-point line again The outside left wing receives the ball.
"Boy, don't try to score easily with me!"
Raja Bell's defense took turns quickly, but he didn't dare to get too close, he just stared at Li Ze, and spouted a trash talk at the same time.
As soon as the words fell, Li Ze took a quick tentative step with his right foot, then quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and made a breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Just after passing the three-point line, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back very quickly with his right hand, and then directly stepped back to outside the three-point line , a jump shot with a slightly faded back.
"Shua" three-point hollow net.
"Man, maybe you can introduce yourself first, I don't have much impression of you!"
Originally, Raja-Bell was stunned by Li Zehuang, and the little flame in his heart shot up. After seeing Li Ze's goal, he put on a look like I don't know you, and almost exploded in anger. , the black face instantly turned black and red
As a veteran player, Raja Bell doesn't really like to talk trash with Mengxin. He thinks he is a little famous. Li Ze's performance really pissed him off.
After successfully irritating the opponent, Li Ze smiled in his heart. In the first quarter, the former three-point shooter once again showed a good competitive state, so now Li Ze very much expects the angry Raja Bell to take more shots under his defense Some shots, so that the defense inside can be much easier.
In the next game, the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, scoring 4 goals in a row. Every time Li Ze attacked, he could attract a lot of defensive attention from the Jazz, which gave other teammates more opportunities. , frequently received flying cakes from Li Ze.
When Li Ze took a break and Turtle and Durant played, the Thunder's offense was still efficient, and the excited Turtle made consecutive mid-range shots, and when it entered the penalty state, Durant began to stand on the free throw line .
At the end of the half, at 62:59, the Thunder took a three-point lead and only allowed the Jazz to score 22 points.
After the start of the third quarter, the Jazz took the lead in changing their defensive strategy. When Li Ze received the ball outside the three-point line and chose to break through with the ball, Deron Williams, who was on the line, would participate in the defense. Obviously, the old Shuai Sloan also wanted to win, so he directly resorted to double-team defense.
But there is always an X factor in the game. Turtle, who was extremely excited in this game, not only responded in time when Li Ze was double-teamed, but also made three consecutive shots from outside the three-point line.
The Thunder team attacked, and the Turtle, who was completely excited, had just dribbled through the half court. Through Kostic's high pick-and-roll, a simple change of direction in front of his body, he got rid of Deron Williams' pursuit and defense, and just passed the three-point line. Long two-point pull-up jumper shot.
"Shua" scored two points again.
"Whoa!!"
Consecutive goals made Guigui even more excited. At this time, he excitedly clapped Li Ze's hands to celebrate, and then applauded himself enthusiastically.
"Shh!"
The Jazz fans at the scene immediately booed hugely. What's the situation?
Under the excellent performance of Guigui, the Thunder team successfully played a wave in the third quarter. At 3:94, the Thunder team completely overtook the score.
After the start of the 4th quarter, when the opponent chose to double-team, Li Ze started to run a lot without the ball. The Thunder played two hammer tactics in a row.
Li Ze attacked from left to right and hit a three-pointer in each of the two bottom corners. The old coach Sloan on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with the pursuit of Raja Bell and Hayward, and began to remind himself loudly players.
The Jazz still did not give up the game. Al Jefferson, who received the ball in the low post, used his excellent footwork to successfully shake Krstic and scored two points at the basket again.
The Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball. Turtle first made an offensive gesture, indicating to give Li Ze a pistol tactic, quickly dribbled across the half court, and directly gave the ball to Li Ze. Turtle pretended to hand over, and then immediately cut inside to take away the defense.
Deron Williams could only follow the tortoise, noticing that Al Jefferson's defensive position was behind, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row, shook his body, and quickly lowered his body Center of gravity, hold the ball in the right hand and pretend to break through, then quickly change direction under the crotch.
Raja Bell, whose physical condition has declined, was obviously half a beat slow when he squeezed through the screen. Li Ze, who was easily stuck in half his body, did not choose to accelerate with all his strength. He had just dribbled past the three-point line. Pause, instantly change the rhythm of attack.
Two extremely fast crotch dribbles in place, then stepped directly outside the three-point line, ignoring Raja Bell's defense, and quickly shot a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Defense"
The defensive cheers from the Jazz fans came to an abrupt end. The audience at the scene saw Li Ze having a chest bump with Turtle to celebrate after scoring a goal. They were speechless for a while.
Raja Bell has lost his temper. At this time, he is seriously lacking in physical fitness and has already started to gasp for breath. When Durant scored another 2+1, the old coach Sloan directly requested a timeout. The game is gone. The point difference has reached 18 points.
The remaining three minutes of the fourth quarter turned into garbage time, but the tenacious Jazz fans still cheered for the home team loudly and continued to send friendly greetings to the Thunder.
In the end, at 124:106, the Thunder beat the Jazz in an away game. After the game, Li Ze saw the Jazz fans were still chattering, feeling a little speechless:
"The devil's home game is indeed well-deserved, and the national live broadcast is still scolding the street"
李泽本场比赛21中13，其中三分球9中4，罚球5中5，高效砍下35分7篮板7助攻1失误1抢断，命中率再次过了6成，再加上杜兰特的28分和龟龟的26分，三人组再次展现出了恐怖的得分能力。
"Shet! These Jazz fans are crazy, and they scolded the referee after the game."
Everyone in the Thunder is walking back to the player tunnel. Durant, who has been slammed all the time in this game, can't help but complain in a low voice. In fact, he can't blame the referee for this. He made another 10 free throws, and the Jazz fans were completely out of breath.
"Win two back-to-back games in a row, and I'll have a good rest day when I get back to Oklahoma City!"
Turtle, who is in a particularly good mood, doesn't care about the comments of Jazz fans. His mind has already flown back to Oklahoma City. Jeff Green is not in a good mood. This game has exposed his shortcomings again, which makes him I feel like I'm about to be sent away.
Li Ze noticed that everyone was in a normal mood after winning the game, and immediately said with a smile:
"After returning to Oklahoma City, let's go to Russell's house, hold another baking party, bring the family, and have fun together!"
"Cool! What a great idea!"
NBATV's national live broadcast has attracted the attention of many fans, and America's commentators have also found that Li Ze's recent shooting rate is frighteningly high. The shooting guard's shooting rate exceeds 6%?It's outrageous!
On TNT's Inside the NBA program, Li Ze's performance began to be discussed. Charles Barkley first said:
"The NBA must revise the rules. Look at Kayce's recent performance. He is destroying the perimeter of the league. Once he encounters an oppressive chase, he starts to receive the ball outside the three-point line, and then gets rid of the defense through Cross over to complete the offense. "
"This style of play is fine, but he just took advantage of the referee's whistle. Fortunately, the quality of the Thunder's screens is mediocre, otherwise his three-point shooting percentage may have exceeded [-]%. Note that he has already started to shoot a lot of three-pointers this season. Divide the ball."
Kenny Smith obviously disagreed with Barkley's point of view, and immediately refuted:
"This only shows that the teams in the league are still not tight enough to defend him. In fact, through data analysis, we can clearly see that once Kayce encounters oppressive defense like the Grizzlies, most of them still choose mid-range offense. In tight games, he still prefers to get closer to the basket."
The host Ernie Johnson also began to throw out his own point of view after hearing what the two said:
"There is some truth in what Chuck said. This season, the referees have become more and more strict on the outside defenders, which has allowed many outstanding outside players to obtain better offensive space, but obviously such a move has been well received by the fans. Loved it, the ratings will not lie!"
"But to be healthy, the league has to put shackles on the perimeter players. We can't always limit the big players. The league should treat them equally. Look at the top ten shots of the day right now. It's almost like a Kayce commercial. .”
Hearing Charles Barkley's complaints, his old partner Kenny Smith immediately took over the conversation and said loudly with a smile:
"It's okay, Chuck, we recently opened a new topic, analyzing Kayce's technical moves, I think this will help all teams in the league, and at the same time let fans who like Kayce know more about their idol, lock TNT, Our new feature is coming soon!"
Li Ze, who returned to his home in Oklahoma City, couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw the TNT program. What the hell kind of topic is this?
This reminded him of the "Details" program that ESPN will launch in the future. As long as Kobe analyzes any player, there is a high probability that he will be technically knocked down.
However, when he thinks of two back-to-back matches and two more golden badges, Li Ze feels that the possibility of being knocked down is very slim.
Achievement Badge [Ball Master]: 4/5000 (you can enjoy the bonus of the champion badge)
Improve the player's ability to defeat the opponent's defender, there is a certain chance to knock the defender down, and reduce the physical exertion caused by the action.
Achievement Badge [Conversion Master]: 3/5000 (enjoy the bonus of champion badge)
Improve the overall speed of holding the ball when switching from defense to offense, increase the shooting rate at the basket when switching from defense to offense, and increase the shooting rate from outside shooting when switching from defense to offense.
After upgrading these two badges, Li Ze can obviously feel that his sense of the ball has been improved again. The golden [Ball Handling Master] bonus effect can be combined with other offensive badges at will, and the feeling of controlling the ball at will is going to heaven!
Thinking of the league's more stringent whistle-blowing on the outside line, Li Ze chuckled, feeling secretly refreshed:
"As long as the whistleblowing scale remains the same, no matter how you analyze it, it's useless!"
On February 2th, Li Ze entertained the bearded players at home again. The Kings are currently 8 wins and 12 losses. Harden has been completely shattered. Seeing the opponent's look of losing money, Li Ze is a little worried about the super score in the future The hand will disappear completely.
"Why do you feel that you have gained a lot of weight? You guys won't give up on diet adjustment, right?"
When Li Ze saw Harden who was a little fat, he immediately complained.
"Growing muscle! I'm building muscle! Wait a month and I'll be back to my old shape and even stronger!"
Harden said in a somewhat concealed manner, approaching the All-Star, he has been a little indulgent recently, and accidentally gained weight, but he will not admit this in front of his friends.
"Forget it! You can master it yourself. I originally wanted to take you to the steakhouse. Now it seems that we should have a fitness meal together. Even if you lose, you can't give up on your requirements."
Li Ze kindly reminded him again, after all, the contract year is coming soon, and it will be a big joke if Harden, who is sluggish, can't get the contract.
"It's all due to that brainless Cousins, otherwise the Kings' record will definitely improve a lot, Shet! This guy's low-post offense is shit!"
As soon as the record was mentioned, Harden immediately began to complain crazily. The child was so suffocated that no one in the Kings could play with him. After finally coming to Oklahoma City, he immediately vomited bitterness to Li Ze.
"Talk to your agent and ask him to communicate with the team management. It stands to reason that your bad performance should be over!"
When Harden heard Li Ze's words, he was immediately discouraged, and said directly:
"It's no use at all. The management of the Kings is still very optimistic about Cousins."
Seeing some decadent bearded golfers, Li Ze could only silently bless him in his heart. Although he won a lot of ball rights, Harden's road to leveling was obviously bumpy.
In the game tonight, the Thunder team in good form easily defeated the Kings at home, 96:112. The opponent led the half and then surrendered immediately. This kind of fighting spirit also made Li Ze completely speechless. No wonder you only won 12 games.
After the game, the Ford Center Arena was extremely noisy, and Oklahoma City fans were wildly celebrating the team's victory. Seeing Harden who was a little disappointed, Li Ze could only pat his friend on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Persist for another season, maybe you will rise up, it happens that Jeff Green is not in a good mood recently, let's have fun together tonight."
After hearing Li Ze's words, Harden was shocked, and immediately said excitedly:
"One big and one small, I'm going to get drunk tonight!"

(End of this chapter)
As the trade deadline approaches, whether it is determined to compete for the championship to strengthen the lineup, or to save money for the team by performing badly, as the All-Star Game approaches, all teams begin to operate frequently.
On the afternoon of February 2th, after a brief reminiscence with Nash, Li Ze followed the Thunder for pre-match recovery training. Considering that both Jeff Green and Krstic in the team may be lost by Pressley After the trade, there has been no gossip about the trade in the locker room.
However, after surfing the Internet for the past few days, Li Ze still noticed a few transactions that caught his attention:
For example, the Dallas Mavericks signed Peja Stojakovic as a free agent, and the Pacers hired Frank Vogel as head coach.
Seeing these two pieces of information, Li Ze has a feeling of witnessing history. The Mavericks are about to become a complete team, and the Pacers, which has ushered in Vogel's coaching, will gradually develop into the Heat's road to the championship. stumbling block.
As an excellent business league, the NBA sometimes seems unreasonable. After Stoudemire left the Suns, various data experts predicted the decline of the Suns before the start of the season. Faced with such a situation , The NBA chose to directly reduce the Suns' national live broadcast.
Veteran feelings?Does not exist, poor performance, no star players, not worthy of attention, the league needs to use limited resources to cultivate teams with more potential.
So tonight's game, the national live broadcast is gone. Fortunately, the Suns fans on the scene are still enthusiastic. Every time the Suns complete an offense, there will be huge cheers on the scene, especially after Vince Carter completed two consecutive offenses. , and the audience in the front row shouted excitedly.
The 34-year-old Carter's physical condition has begun to gradually decline, and he can barely be regarded as the tail of the peak. After more than three minutes in the first quarter, the Suns' offense went smoothly, but the Thunder's offense was also unstoppable .
Carter mainly defended Li Ze in this game. Facing the veteran, Li Ze did not intend to be polite at all. With a screen from Kostic, Li Ze quickly bounced out and easily reached the left flank outside the three-point line.
After receiving the pass from the tortoise, Li Ze directly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Carter, who had just turned his defensive rotation into place, slid backwards, and he saw Li Ze's crotch pull back sharply.
His left hand paused slightly, and when Carter's defensive center of gravity moved forward again, Li Ze adjusted his footsteps and shook his body at the same time, holding the ball in his left hand to pretend to break through, and then quickly changed direction in front of his body. Opened Carter's defense.
Carter was stunned for a moment, and Li Ze had already completed the ball at this time, and even made a shot in the middle distance:
"Shua" scored two points easily.
After receiving the ball, he shook it twice and scored a goal. This is Li Ze's offensive efficiency when he did not use oppressive defense on the line. The golden [Difficult Shooting King] + [Hot Zone Hunter] badge bonus effect is too obvious!
In the middle distance, once there is no defensive pressure, Li Ze even feels that even if he throws it blindly, he can have a 5% hit rate.
Coupled with adjusting the offensive rhythm by dribbling, the golden [Rhythm Shooter] can also participate in the combination bonus, so the current simple dribbling and shooting are the most efficient offensive methods for Li Ze, following the body's feeling, It's over!
Watching Li Ze score again, Carter felt a little helpless. With the increase of age and injuries, defensive experience is indeed enough, but the body's reaction speed really can't keep up, especially Li Ze's shaking fast and slow, completely Relying on the explosive power of the body between sudden stops and quick starts, it is too difficult to guard against
The Suns fans at the scene were also a little numb. After the opening, Li Ze and Durant did not miss the offense. They simply covered the ball and then completed the shot. good-looking.
Quickly sent out the baseline ball, Nash dribbled across the half court, the Suns' offensive rhythm was not fast, and after completing a pick-and-roll with Channing Frye in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, he quickly gave the ball to Channing Frye who bounced outside , Facing the pick-and-roll, the Thunder switched defenses directly, and Turtle defended in front of Channing Frye.
With no chance of a three-point shot, Carter on the right flank hurriedly moved to the top of the arc, wanting to go directly to make a hand-to-hand pass.
Due to the decline of the Suns' internal strength, the Thunder, which defended the zone defense at the beginning, turned into a man-to-man defense at this time. Li Ze boldly defended, always firmly sticking to Carter's side.
The first hand-to-hand pass failed. Under the interference of Li Ze, Channing Frye did not dare to pass the ball easily. Carter had no choice but to distance himself from the three-point line. Down, finally successfully catch the ball.
After the pass, Channing Frye wanted to run a high pick-and-roll for Carter, but Li Ze nimbly squeezed past him. Carter wanted to use the pick-and-roll with his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough, but felt the defensive pressure on his side. The last one Staggering, helplessly stopping the ball outside the three-point line.
As a former superstar, he was easily restrained by a cute new player on the defensive end. This made Carter feel a little uncomfortable, it was too embarrassing!
With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Carter chose individual singles, continuously dribbled the ball under the crotch outside the three-point line, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, but he did not expect that such an action was directly predicted by Li Ze.
Blocking the route of travel, after a physical confrontation, he stabbed with his left hand, followed by a big step, his right hand directly controlled the ball, and then dribbled across the half court with all his strength. Li Ze ignored Carter who was chasing behind him, and just passed the free throw line One step, take off directly from a long distance.
After gliding in the air and turning the ball around vigorously, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung the ball into the basket with one arm!
"Boom!" The windmill dunked successfully!
Li Ze, who landed steadily, patted his chest and pretended to be X to the camera under the basket expressionlessly. Carter, who was chasing after him, gave up defending after seeing Li Ze take off. The 34-year-old Carter stood on the bottom line, looked at Li Ze with depressed eyes, vaguely showing his 22-year-old shadow
"Shh!"
"Cool! Kayce, we should have defended like this a long time ago. Every time we defend the zone, it makes me feel so uncomfortable!"
Li Ze returned to the half-court with scattered boos, and the turtles on the side immediately stepped forward to high-five in celebration, and then excitedly complained about their previous defensive strategies.
"No way, the insides of other teams are not like the Suns. Robin Lopez's low threat is too small. Stay focused, Russell!"
Although the Thunder had already led by 6 points, Li Ze didn't want to be beaten by the Suns because of lax defense. After all, the opponent's three-point shooting ability is not weak, and the oppressive defense of the whole court has to continue.
Vince Carter, who used to be able to single out most players in the league, is gone. From the off-ball end, with the addition of [off-ball running killer] + [marking master], Li Ze began to stalk Carter hit.
Once the ball is received, [Death Coil] + [Ball Stealing Expert] makes Carter suffer even more. Even if he uses the pick-and-roll, because Channing Frye and Robin Lopez's screen quality is average, Li Ze is excellent. Defensive agility plus the bonus of [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall] can easily squeeze through.
Carter became invisible on the offensive end, and the Suns' offense also began to be constipated. After Nash and Channing Frye missed three-pointers in three rounds, the Thunder played another 6:0 spurt and directly tied the score. The gap widened to 12 points.
At 24:36, the Thunder took a double-digit lead in the first quarter. Li Ze sat on the bench, took the water bottle handed by Ibaka, took a big sip, and added water, then said with a smile :
"The pace of the game is still good. Even if there is no three-pointer, they can lead to double digits. The Suns may not make the playoffs this season."
Durant nodded in agreement when he heard Li Ze's words, and then sighed:
"Maybe Grant Hill should consider retiring. I liked watching him play when I was young, but injuries ruined him. It seems that he has no chance to win the championship."
Durant, who played against Grant Hill in this game, felt a little bit embarrassed. This season, his left-handed offensive ability has improved significantly compared to last season. Grant Hill could make two gestures with him based on his experience, but Now, it has almost become a one-sided crush.
"Very good, everyone is ready to play. Tonight I will increase the rotation. In the second quarter, we will follow the previous game strategy and play more pick-and-rolls at the 2th position. Kayce, control the offensive rhythm on the field. "
Head coach Brooks is very satisfied with the team's performance tonight. If he continues to maintain such a leading advantage, he doesn't mind adding some rotations so that the atmosphere group can also play for a while.
Due to Dragic's injury, during the rotation stage, the Suns' backcourt combination became Zabian Dodell and Michael Pietrus, and the 12-point difference also allowed Gentry to directly send Vince Carter was on, Jared Dudley was on the outside, and Marcin Gortat was the center.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Thunder team took the lead in attacking. Facing such a lineup of one big and four small, Li Ze immediately made an offensive gesture after dribbling halftime. Ibaka and Collison both went to the free throw line at the same time Two elbow positions.
Noticing that Gortat's defense followed, Li Ze chose to use Collison's pick-and-roll on the right. When Collison moved up the line again, Li Ze, who had been holding the ball slowly, suddenly dribbled behind his right hand.
Before Dudley, who was sticking to the defense, could react, he dribbled the ball behind his back extremely quickly with his left hand, and at the same time lowered the center of gravity of his body. Confusing in and out, while slightly raising the body's center of gravity.
Dudley's defense was slightly taken aback. At this time, Collison's pick-and-roll was also standing on the right flank outside the three-point line. At the moment the pick-and-roll happened, Li Ze quickly changed direction in front of him, sticking to Collison's body, Breaking through to the left, Dudley was completely blocked at this time.
Seeing that his teammate's perimeter defense was gone, Gortat panicked and hurried up to delay. Li Ze's center of gravity dropped very low, and he pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand. Gortat subconsciously slid backwards and watched Li Ze Ze dribbled the ball behind his back, stepped back easily, and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
With continuous beautiful shaking, he successfully got rid of the defense, and finally made a three-pointer. The wonderful goal made the Suns fans on the scene subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then there was a huge booing.
"Shh!"
"The defense is okay!"
After scoring the goal, Li Ze saw Dudley staring at him blankly, and immediately praised the opponent's defense, then quickly retreated, and at the same time told his teammates not to relax and maintain defensive intensity.
"."
Dudley and Gortat were a little confused. Obviously, the Thunder wanted to play the pick-and-roll at the 5th position. This tactic is very simple, with a "V"-shaped position, and two big players lift up to open up space. , Gortat must keep up, otherwise once the pick-and-roll occurs, Li Ze will throw it.
The Suns attacked, Carter did not force himself, but gave the ball to Gortat inside. Facing Collison's defense, Gortat, who wanted the ball in the low post, hit twice, opened the defense, and made two shots at the basket. scored.
The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball. After Li Ze dribbled halftime, he still used the same tactic as in the previous round. This time Gortat defended very quickly, raising his hands high, trying to delay Li Ze, only to find that the ball in Li Ze’s hand was missing. Yes, I heard a burst of exclamation from the scene, and then realized that Li Ze had sent a pass through the crotch.
After receiving the pass from Li Ze, Collison, who went down, took three big steps and dunked successfully with both hands at the basket!
Li Ze raised his eyebrows at Gortat with a smile on his face, and then quickly returned to the defense. When he had the ball in his hand, the basketball intuition brought by the golden [Organizer] badge allowed him to easily grasp the offense on the court Space, whether it is passing or shooting, appears very calm.
In the next few minutes, head coach Gentry on the sidelines directly sat back on the bench. There was no play, and the point difference was close to 20 points. Ibaka and Jeff Green frequently received assists from Li Ze , cast crazy.
On the thunder team's bench, the atmosphere team was quite excited. With a big point difference, they will be able to play!
In the last few games, due to the strength of the opponents, the head coach of Brooks has always insisted on short rotations, and many players did not get 1 minute of playing time. This is also the reason for everyone's excitement, and they can finally play!
In the second half of the third quarter, the head coach of Brooks had already started to rotate. Li Ze was replaced after less than 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. This game also made him feel emotional. The Suns are going silent.
In the hot game between the two teams, the game time passed quickly. In the end, at 112:97, the Thunder team easily defeated the Suns in an away game. With a record of 41 wins and 8 losses, they once again returned to the number one position in the league. .
After the game, Li Ze looked at his technical statistics and sighed again in his heart:
“24分7篮板11助攻2抢断，命中率再次超过6成，或许这就是虐菜小能手吧.”
This game did not attract too many fans' attention on Amerika's side. After all, the Suns' record has collapsed, and star players are running away during the offseason. Except for the local fans in Phoenix, other people will not care about it. Going to watch a Suns game.
But at this time, in the Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean, many fans of the Suns are a little bit defensive. CCTV Sports has also broadcast many Suns games before. The team with a gorgeous attack in 7 seconds naturally attracted many The attention of the fans, on the Hupu forum, the Suns fans have begun to complain crazily:
"Is it possible that I will miss the playoffs this season? Is Lao Na really going to be without a championship for life? My youth is gone!"
"Carter is really dying. The Suns' deal failed again. They shouldn't have traded O'Neal back then. That deal indirectly ruined the Suns."
"Could it be that Li Ze is too strong? So it seems that Carter is a bit weak. I watched Carter play well before, but I really didn't expect that he scored 18 points in this game. Most of the points were not against Li Ze. Got it."
"The Suns are gone. I watched a few games of the Grizzlies. It is estimated that the opponent can get the playoffs this season. In addition, the record of the Hornets is not bad. The Suns may start rebuilding."
"Nash is also old. He took 9 shots in a game. Facing the impact of Westbrook, the defensive end can't stand it at all. Hey, maybe I won't watch the Suns in the future."
"."
On February 2th, after the game against the Suns, everyone in the Thunder immediately flew to Salt Lake City. They will challenge the Jazz tonight. This is also the last back-to-back game before the All-Star Game.
The Jazz currently has a record of 30 wins and 21 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. Although Li Zefu's memory tells him that there may be some internal conflicts in the Jazz team, the Jazz team is currently a united team.
Although Amerika's media reporters have reported that Deron Williams seems to have some conflicts with the old coach Sloan, the previous reports have long been thrown to Java by the fans.
In the game that night, the fans of the Jazz team were still enthusiastic, and many people even spoke loudly, "praising" the Thunder team loudly. I do my own way.
At the end of the first quarter, many Jazz fans were very happy. At 1:30, the Jazz led by 37 points at home. More importantly, Paul Millsap was too efficient. 7 of 6, beat Jeff Green and easily scored 5 points.
In addition, Al Jefferson made 4 of 3 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, and also scored 10 points. The Jazz's inside combination showed great power.
During the break, everyone on the Thunder's bench looked calm. With 30 points in a single quarter, everyone knew that the offense was fine, so even though the score was behind, no one looked depressed.
"Let's change the defensive formation. We don't need to help defend, but at the same time we need to strengthen the outside press and try to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the opponent. Kayce and Sefoloza will press the opponent's defender after halftime. As for the inside defense, We’ve been single-defense from behind.”
As soon as Li Ze heard what Coach Brooks said, he knew that he had given up treatment. In the second half of the first quarter, the opponent was almost blooming inside and outside. turned into man-marking.
Coach Sloan is very satisfied with the performance of the Jazz, especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between Deron Williams and the two insiders, which made him very satisfied.
In the rotation stage of the second quarter, the Jazz made a counter-substitution. Earl Watson and CJ-Myers were normal substitutes. The newcomers Hayward and Paul Millsap also continued to play, 2 meters 2 Al Jefferson was replaced by Francisco Elson.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and Hayward was also a little excited at this time. Li Ze did not attack frequently in the first quarter, and scored 1 points in 4 of 3 in a single quarter. Obviously, this performance made Hayward have an illusion: "I limit Stop him!"
Through observation in one quarter, Li Ze almost understood the Jazz's defensive strategy. Gar Bell and Hayward alternately entangled Li Ze and Durant.
Most of the Jazz's scoring in the first quarter was played by the two insiders and Deron Williams. With each performing their duties, the Jazz performed really well.
After halftime, Li Ze quickly gave the ball to Jeff Green on the left flank beyond the three-point line, and then went directly to the left block to ask for the ball with his back. Hayward always wanted to half-circle forward to defend Unfortunately, Mengxin lacked experience and was firmly stuck behind Li Ze.
After easily receiving the pass from Jeff Green, Li Ze leaned back hard, quickly released the ball with his right hand, and hit two simple and rough bang bang bangs, which made Mengxin Hayward feel tight in his chest, and then his shoulders shook quickly , directly turned over and shot a jumper.
"唰" hits easily at mid-range.
Only then did Hayward remember the fear of being dominated by Li Ze in the previous fight, especially when he saw Li Ze's offensive choice of "uncle is going to fight back", he couldn't help feeling a little numb, and subconsciously glanced at the sidelines. The old coach Sloan couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw the coach's encouraging eyes.
"Next round, I will ask for a seat here!"
Taking advantage of the Jazz's baseline kick, Li Ze whispered something to Hayward who was defending him, and immediately returned to defense without waiting for the cute newcomer to react.
"."
Hayward originally wanted to say a few tough words, but when he thought of Li Ze's scoring ability, he couldn't say some fake words, and the trash talk that couldn't be fulfilled could only make the other party laugh.
The Jazz’s offense, passing the ball quickly from the outside, the Jazz’s coaching staff was fully prepared before the game, Earl Watson immediately passed the ball to CJ Miles on the wing after halftime, and Paul Mirsa on the baseline Pu and Francisco Elson set a simple cross-screen and immediately come to the low post to receive the ball.
Facing Ibaka's defense, Millsap quickly released the ball with his left hand after three threats, went up the line to break through, and after reaching the paint area, quickly pulled the ball back, then turned around quickly, paused slightly, and shook Ibaka's defense away, Scored two points at the basket.
"Good defense! Serge!"
Noticing that Ibaka was a little frustrated, Li Ze immediately encouraged him. In NBA games, sometimes players will enter into a magical game state, how to throw and how to score.
Ibaka's defense just now was not completely out of position, but Millsap tilted his body and put the ball in. This is his personal ability, so don't need to be too entangled, just hit it back and it's over.
Quickly dribbled through the half court, Li Ze once again gave the ball to Sefoloza on the right flank outside the three-point line, and then quickly came to the right block to ask for the ball with his back. Mengxin Hayward wanted to interfere with Li Ze with some small moves Receive the ball, but unfortunately there is a gap in strength between the two.
At the moment when Hayward wanted to go around to defend, Li Ze quickly stepped forward and blocked the opponent with his arms at the same time, then shifted his center of gravity back and leaned back hard. Li Ze stuck firmly behind him.
After receiving the pass from Sefoloza, Li Ze shook his shoulders in the direction of the line in confusion, then quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, took advantage of the trend to break through the bottom line, easily got rid of Hayward's defense, and dribbled the ball vigorously with his right hand twice in a row Came to the basket and took off.
Facing Francisco Elson's block, he tossed and turned in the air, pulled the bar sharply, from the right side of the basket to the left side, twisted his body in the air, and picked the basket lightly with his right hand.
"Snapped"
"My bowl!"
After the air confrontation, Li Ze yelled first, and when he saw the ball fall into the basket, he immediately raised his arms and shouted, then smiled lightly, and walked directly to the free throw line.
Obviously, the referee's penalty made the Jazz fans very dissatisfied, and there was a huge booing immediately. If they brag like this in the next round, they will scold the referee!
"Shhh!!"
"Maybe in two more rounds, we can tie the score!"
Facing the boos of the audience, Li Ze said something to his teammates pretending to be X, then adjusted his breathing, and made the free throw steadily. Everyone in the Jazz team didn't make a sound. This situation made them a little dazed. I always feel that it is too easy for Li Ze to score.
Millsap's offense finally hit the ground, Collison protected the rebound, everyone in the Jazz retreated quickly, and Li Ze's conversion speed was also very fast. At this time, he did not wait for his teammates to attack and settle.
When the Jazz's defense was not yet stable, Li Ze, who was advancing quickly, dribbled behind his left hand after halftime to adjust his dribbling rhythm.
Hayward, who had been by his side, quickly adjusted his defensive focus, and noticed that Li Ze lowered his body's center of gravity again, as if he wanted to break through with the ball in his right hand, and his body moved subconsciously, and then he yelled in his heart: "Not good!"
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand and pretending to make a breakthrough, quickly changed direction ahead of time, noticing that Hayward hadn't completely lost his position, he paused slightly with his left hand, and then pretended to make a breakthrough again, while dribbling vigorously with his left hand on the spot.
Hayward's defensive center of gravity first turned to the right, then to the left, then backwards, and finally made another misjudgment, and subconsciously moved forward to defend, but his body didn't react, and he sat on the ground directly.
"Oh!!"
In the energy solution arena, they all screamed subconsciously when they saw Li Zehuang knocking Hayward down.
At this time, Li Ze directly joined the ball at the top of the arc one step away from the three-point line, then shook his shoulders provocatively, adjusted his breathing, and then made a steady jump shot.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Shh!"
"Shet! Shit goal!"
"He definitely pushed people, otherwise Gordon wouldn't be knocked down, he fouled the referee!"
Li Ze saw many spectators in the front row angrily and began to greet him friendly. He immediately curled his lips, spread his hands, and made a celebratory gesture that Jazz fans don't like very much.
"squeak"
The old coach Sloan directly requested a timeout, and the 7-point difference became 1 point. The second quarter has just started, and he can't stand it anymore. He needs to get the main lineup in advance.
"That's cool, Bro! I knew we'd make it back, haha, maybe at halftime we could make it back!"
Turtle was already beating his chest and screaming excitedly on the bench, while Durant showed envious eyes. He has always been very eager to dribble with both left and right hands like Li Ze, although the weak side of this season His hands have improved, but he still can't make such gorgeous shaking as Li Ze.
"Kayce, drink water drink water!"
Byron of the atmosphere group immediately handed over the water bottle. Although everyone in the locker room knew Li Ze's strength, they still felt a little dazed every time they saw such outrageous performance.
"Just hold two possessions and I guarantee we'll take the lead, remember Millsap's right hand!"
Li Ze once again encouraged his teammates. Before the All-Star Game, it is best to gain some winning advantages. Once the team trades and the lineup does not run smoothly, it is very likely to lose. Therefore, in the recent games, as long as there is a slight chance of winning Li Ze will try his best to fight for the opportunity.
After returning from the timeout, the Jazz took the lead in switching back to the main lineup. The old coach Sloan criticized the defense of the newcomer Hayward, and asked Raja Bell to give Li Ze a physical confrontation on the defensive end.
Deron Williams used Al Jefferson's pick-and-roll to get rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and hit a mid-range emergency stop jumper to help the Jazz stabilize the situation on the court.
The Thunder sent out the baseline ball quickly. Li Ze found that the defender had become Raja Bell after halftime. Collison screens and makes a UCLA cut.
Raja Bell's defense is indeed very aggressive, and the speed of squeezing through the screen is also very fast. There is no chance for an unprecedented basket. Li Ze quickly slipped across the baseline and used Jeff Green's next screen to come to the three-point line again The outside left wing receives the ball.
"Boy, don't try to score easily with me!"
Raja Bell's defense took turns quickly, but he didn't dare to get too close, he just stared at Li Ze, and spouted a trash talk at the same time.
As soon as the words fell, Li Ze took a quick tentative step with his right foot, then quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and made a breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Just after passing the three-point line, Li Ze dribbled the ball behind his back very quickly with his right hand, and then directly stepped back to outside the three-point line , a jump shot with a slightly faded back.
"Shua" three-point hollow net.
"Man, maybe you can introduce yourself first, I don't have much impression of you!"
Originally, Raja-Bell was stunned by Li Zehuang, and the little flame in his heart shot up. After seeing Li Ze's goal, he put on a look like I don't know you, and almost exploded in anger. , the black face instantly turned black and red
As a veteran player, Raja Bell doesn't really like to talk trash with Mengxin. He thinks he is a little famous. Li Ze's performance really pissed him off.
After successfully irritating the opponent, Li Ze smiled in his heart. In the first quarter, the former three-point shooter once again showed a good competitive state, so now Li Ze very much expects the angry Raja Bell to take more shots under his defense Some shots, so that the defense inside can be much easier.
In the next game, the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately, scoring 4 goals in a row. Every time Li Ze attacked, he could attract a lot of defensive attention from the Jazz, which gave other teammates more opportunities. , frequently received flying cakes from Li Ze.
When Li Ze took a break and Turtle and Durant played, the Thunder's offense was still efficient, and the excited Turtle made consecutive mid-range shots, and when it entered the penalty state, Durant began to stand on the free throw line .
At the end of the half, at 62:59, the Thunder took a three-point lead and only allowed the Jazz to score 22 points.
After the start of the third quarter, the Jazz took the lead in changing their defensive strategy. When Li Ze received the ball outside the three-point line and chose to break through with the ball, Deron Williams, who was on the line, would participate in the defense. Obviously, the old Shuai Sloan also wanted to win, so he directly resorted to double-team defense.
But there is always an X factor in the game. Turtle, who was extremely excited in this game, not only responded in time when Li Ze was double-teamed, but also made three consecutive shots from outside the three-point line.
The Thunder team attacked, and the Turtle, who was completely excited, had just dribbled through the half court. Through Kostic's high pick-and-roll, a simple change of direction in front of his body, he got rid of Deron Williams' pursuit and defense, and just passed the three-point line. Long two-point pull-up jumper shot.
"Shua" scored two points again.
"Whoa!!"
Consecutive goals made Guigui even more excited. At this time, he excitedly clapped Li Ze's hands to celebrate, and then applauded himself enthusiastically.
"Shh!"
The Jazz fans at the scene immediately booed hugely. What's the situation?
Under the excellent performance of Guigui, the Thunder team successfully played a wave in the third quarter. At 3:94, the Thunder team completely overtook the score.
After the start of the 4th quarter, when the opponent chose to double-team, Li Ze started to run a lot without the ball. The Thunder played two hammer tactics in a row.
Li Ze attacked from left to right and hit a three-pointer in each of the two bottom corners. The old coach Sloan on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with the pursuit of Raja Bell and Hayward, and began to remind himself loudly players.
The Jazz still did not give up the game. Al Jefferson, who received the ball in the low post, used his excellent footwork to successfully shake Krstic and scored two points at the basket again.
The Thunder team quickly sent out the baseline ball. Turtle first made an offensive gesture, indicating to give Li Ze a pistol tactic, quickly dribbled across the half court, and directly gave the ball to Li Ze. Turtle pretended to hand over, and then immediately cut inside to take away the defense.
Deron Williams could only follow the tortoise, noticing that Al Jefferson's defensive position was behind, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand, dribbled the ball behind his back twice in a row, shook his body, and quickly lowered his body Center of gravity, hold the ball in the right hand and pretend to break through, then quickly change direction under the crotch.
Raja Bell, whose physical condition has declined, was obviously half a beat slow when he squeezed through the screen. Li Ze, who was easily stuck in half his body, did not choose to accelerate with all his strength. He had just dribbled past the three-point line. Pause, instantly change the rhythm of attack.
Two extremely fast crotch dribbles in place, then stepped directly outside the three-point line, ignoring Raja Bell's defense, and quickly shot a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Defense"
The defensive cheers from the Jazz fans came to an abrupt end. The audience at the scene saw Li Ze having a chest bump with Turtle to celebrate after scoring a goal. They were speechless for a while.
Raja Bell has lost his temper. At this time, he is seriously lacking in physical fitness and has already started to gasp for breath. When Durant scored another 2+1, the old coach Sloan directly requested a timeout. The game is gone. The point difference has reached 18 points.
The remaining three minutes of the fourth quarter turned into garbage time, but the tenacious Jazz fans still cheered for the home team loudly and continued to send friendly greetings to the Thunder.
In the end, at 124:106, the Thunder beat the Jazz in an away game. After the game, Li Ze saw the Jazz fans were still chattering, feeling a little speechless:
"The devil's home game is indeed well-deserved, and the national live broadcast is still scolding the street"
李泽本场比赛21中13，其中三分球9中4，罚球5中5，高效砍下35分7篮板7助攻1失误1抢断，命中率再次过了6成，再加上杜兰特的28分和龟龟的26分，三人组再次展现出了恐怖的得分能力。
"Shet! These Jazz fans are crazy, and they scolded the referee after the game."
Everyone in the Thunder is walking back to the player tunnel. Durant, who has been slammed all the time in this game, can't help but complain in a low voice. In fact, he can't blame the referee for this. He made another 10 free throws, and the Jazz fans were completely out of breath.
"Win two back-to-back games in a row, and I'll have a good rest day when I get back to Oklahoma City!"
Turtle, who is in a particularly good mood, doesn't care about the comments of Jazz fans. His mind has already flown back to Oklahoma City. Jeff Green is not in a good mood. This game has exposed his shortcomings again, which makes him I feel like I'm about to be sent away.
Li Ze noticed that everyone was in a normal mood after winning the game, and immediately said with a smile:
"After returning to Oklahoma City, let's go to Russell's house, hold another baking party, bring the family, and have fun together!"
"Cool! What a great idea!"
NBATV's national live broadcast has attracted the attention of many fans, and America's commentators have also found that Li Ze's recent shooting rate is frighteningly high. The shooting guard's shooting rate exceeds 6%?It's outrageous!
On TNT's Inside the NBA program, Li Ze's performance began to be discussed. Charles Barkley first said:
"The NBA must revise the rules. Look at Kayce's recent performance. He is destroying the perimeter of the league. Once he encounters an oppressive chase, he starts to receive the ball outside the three-point line, and then gets rid of the defense through Cross over to complete the offense. "
"This style of play is fine, but he just took advantage of the referee's whistle. Fortunately, the quality of the Thunder's screens is mediocre, otherwise his three-point shooting percentage may have exceeded [-]%. Note that he has already started to shoot a lot of three-pointers this season. Divide the ball."
Kenny Smith obviously disagreed with Barkley's point of view, and immediately refuted:
"This only shows that the teams in the league are still not tight enough to defend him. In fact, through data analysis, we can clearly see that once Kayce encounters oppressive defense like the Grizzlies, most of them still choose mid-range offense. In tight games, he still prefers to get closer to the basket."
The host Ernie Johnson also began to throw out his own point of view after hearing what the two said:
"There is some truth in what Chuck said. This season, the referees have become more and more strict on the outside defenders, which has allowed many outstanding outside players to obtain better offensive space, but obviously such a move has been well received by the fans. Loved it, the ratings will not lie!"
"But to be healthy, the league has to put shackles on the perimeter players. We can't always limit the big players. The league should treat them equally. Look at the top ten shots of the day right now. It's almost like a Kayce commercial. .”
Hearing Charles Barkley's complaints, his old partner Kenny Smith immediately took over the conversation and said loudly with a smile:
"It's okay, Chuck, we recently opened a new topic, analyzing Kayce's technical moves, I think this will help all teams in the league, and at the same time let fans who like Kayce know more about their idol, lock TNT, Our new feature is coming soon!"
Li Ze, who returned to his home in Oklahoma City, couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw the TNT program. What the hell kind of topic is this?
This reminded him of the "Details" program that ESPN will launch in the future. As long as Kobe analyzes any player, there is a high probability that he will be technically knocked down.
However, when he thinks of two back-to-back matches and two more golden badges, Li Ze feels that the possibility of being knocked down is very slim.
Achievement Badge [Ball Master]: 4/5000 (you can enjoy the bonus of the champion badge)
Improve the player's ability to defeat the opponent's defender, there is a certain chance to knock the defender down, and reduce the physical exertion caused by the action.
Achievement Badge [Conversion Master]: 3/5000 (enjoy the bonus of champion badge)
Improve the overall speed of holding the ball when switching from defense to offense, increase the shooting rate at the basket when switching from defense to offense, and increase the shooting rate from outside shooting when switching from defense to offense.
After upgrading these two badges, Li Ze can obviously feel that his sense of the ball has been improved again. The golden [Ball Handling Master] bonus effect can be combined with other offensive badges at will, and the feeling of controlling the ball at will is going to heaven!
Thinking of the league's more stringent whistle-blowing on the outside line, Li Ze chuckled, feeling secretly refreshed:
"As long as the whistleblowing scale remains the same, no matter how you analyze it, it's useless!"
On February 2th, Li Ze entertained the bearded players at home again. The Kings are currently 8 wins and 12 losses. Harden has been completely shattered. Seeing the opponent's look of losing money, Li Ze is a little worried about the super score in the future The hand will disappear completely.
"Why do you feel that you have gained a lot of weight? You guys won't give up on diet adjustment, right?"
When Li Ze saw Harden who was a little fat, he immediately complained.
"Growing muscle! I'm building muscle! Wait a month and I'll be back to my old shape and even stronger!"
Harden said in a somewhat concealed manner, approaching the All-Star, he has been a little indulgent recently, and accidentally gained weight, but he will not admit this in front of his friends.
"Forget it! You can master it yourself. I originally wanted to take you to the steakhouse. Now it seems that we should have a fitness meal together. Even if you lose, you can't give up on your requirements."
Li Ze kindly reminded him again, after all, the contract year is coming soon, and it will be a big joke if Harden, who is sluggish, can't get the contract.
"It's all due to that brainless Cousins, otherwise the Kings' record will definitely improve a lot, Shet! This guy's low-post offense is shit!"
As soon as the record was mentioned, Harden immediately began to complain crazily. The child was so suffocated that no one in the Kings could play with him. After finally coming to Oklahoma City, he immediately vomited bitterness to Li Ze.
"Talk to your agent and ask him to communicate with the team management. It stands to reason that your bad performance should be over!"
When Harden heard Li Ze's words, he was immediately discouraged, and said directly:
"It's no use at all. The management of the Kings is still very optimistic about Cousins."
Seeing some decadent bearded golfers, Li Ze could only silently bless him in his heart. Although he won a lot of ball rights, Harden's road to leveling was obviously bumpy.
In the game tonight, the Thunder team in good form easily defeated the Kings at home, 96:112. The opponent led the half and then surrendered immediately. This kind of fighting spirit also made Li Ze completely speechless. No wonder you only won 12 games.
After the game, the Ford Center Arena was extremely noisy, and Oklahoma City fans were wildly celebrating the team's victory. Seeing Harden who was a little disappointed, Li Ze could only pat his friend on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Persist for another season, maybe you will rise up, it happens that Jeff Green is not in a good mood recently, let's have fun together tonight."
After hearing Li Ze's words, Harden was shocked, and immediately said excitedly:
"One big and one small, I'm going to get drunk tonight!"
