The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 209 Locking the Playoffs Seat ([-]D chapter)

On February 2th, the China-America Friendship Association and the Nets held a "9 China Night" Spring Festival Gala. This is the third consecutive year that an NBA team has held such an event with Chinese elements during a game. The purpose is to Celebrate the traditional Chinese New Year with overseas Chinese.

As an excellent business alliance, internationalization is an inevitable choice, and the huge Chinese market has always been valued by the alliance, but it makes President David Stern a little regretful that Li Ze is not in New York, and Yi Jianlian has some Not enough star flavor.

Such a themed event naturally attracted many Chinese in New York to the scene, and for this China Night event, many overseas Chinese companies or associations sponsored one after another.

Perhaps due to the blessing of the atmosphere, the UAE performed bravely that night and got a large double-double of 20+11. Although there was no wonderful dunk, the Chinese fans on the scene were still very happy to get the double-double data through iron-blooded jump shots.

At 101:103, the Nets narrowly beat the Hornets at home, and the unlucky Chris Paul was depressed to death. In fact, he didn't care about this game at all, and was knocked down by the explosive Nets.

And Li Ze also watched the game at his home in Oklahoma City. He smiled confidently when he was interviewed after seeing the Arab League. Immediately laughed out loud.

"You didn't pay attention in the video with me. If you come to Los Angeles in a few days, I won't open the door for you!"

Li Ze heard Britney's voice coming from the computer, and immediately responded:
"My fault, the All-Star Weekend, I was still counting on going to your place for a meal. It happened that I asked Chapman to buy a few tickets for the front row, and then we can watch the game together in the front row."

Britney nodded in satisfaction when she heard Li Ze's words, but this sweet blonde girl suddenly became jealous again:
"Next time I celebrate my birthday, you will also throw a party for me. Is the big singer amazing? I sing better than her!"

"Okay, okay, I promise to hold a big party for you, and you and Annie also go to bed early, and I will be in Los Angeles in a few days."

Li Ze calmed down the jealous blond sweet girl with a cold, as long as she spoke soft words, this girl's mood would turn from cloudy to sunny.

"When I graduate completely, I can go to Oklahoma City to accompany you at that time, remember to come here early!"

After finishing the call with the blonde sweet girl, Li Ze let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when this All-Star game started, Taylor and Shakira were preparing for the world tour concert. Otherwise, everyone would gather in Los Angeles, and the forest might be There's going to be a fire!
As the NBA officially announced the All-Star bench lineup, the popularity of the All-Star Weekend is getting higher and higher. In the West, President David Stern appointed Kevin Love to replace Dayao who was reimbursed for the season. Several people are:

Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Deron Williams, Pau Gasol, Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Love, and Tim -Duncan came to the starting position, and the head coach of the Western All-Stars is Gregg Popovich.

The Eastern All-Star bench lineup is almost monopolized by the Celtics. The substitutes are:

Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Chris Bosh, Al Horford, Eastern All-Stars coached by Doc Rivers .

Although many fans in the Eastern Conference are very dissatisfied that the Celtics can be selected for the All-Star bench lineup with 4 players, it is a pity that the Celtics have indeed crushed most of them in the Eastern Conference, whether it is emotional bonuses or team records. team.

The current situation is even if you are not satisfied, you have to hold back. Unless you wait for the Celtics to collapse completely, it will definitely be even more difficult for other cute newcomers to take the lead.

The players union still hasn't reached an agreement with the league, but the All-Star Game still has to be held. Since there were Grammys before and Oscars after, and Los Angeles itself is the capital of entertainment, the All-Stars in 2011 can be regarded as star-studded. Many singers and Hollywood stars will attend this All-Star Game.

And Sina Sports of China will also send a team of reporters and commentators at that time. As for whether there are other stars, Li Ze is not sure, and even Sina Sports’ request for an exclusive interview, Chapman also helped him refuse. I don't plan to harvest domestic leeks, so there is no need for frequent exposure.

Instead of participating in the event and having an awkward chat with the host, Li Ze still thinks it would be better to spend more time with the girls. His basic assets are all in America, and the market on the Tianchao side can only be supplemented.

On February 2th, the Thunder will challenge the Golden State Warriors in an away game. Compared with last season, after the Warriors confirmed their core players and added David Lee, their record has indeed improved, and they currently have 11 With a record of 23 wins and 29 losses, although there is a high probability that they will miss the playoffs, the Warriors are almost over.

The Warriors had just lost 88:112 to the Suns in an away game the day before, but returned home and ushered in the Thunder again. Head coach Keith Smart had almost predicted the result of tonight's game.

Before the game, Stephen Curry entertained Li Ze at home. Perhaps due to the problem of ball possession, Curry played quite well this season.

However, Li Ze felt that the Warriors' uniform team might want to trade Monta Ellis out, and specially asked the All-Star guard to scrutinize his data for subsequent transactions, and the current head coach may also be behind the scenes. The day of the Warriors' rise is not far away.

"Curry is too easy to talk in the team. The management has confirmed that he is the core player of the team. As a result, in most games, he can only take about 10 shots. Don't show your harmless smile, you need a voice in the locker room."

The two sides were chatting, and Ayesha complained about her boyfriend again. The core players sometimes bought donuts for teammates. She was very dissatisfied with her boyfriend's performance.

"Of course I know my problem, but Monta may be traded away by the team next season. I don't need to rush to fight for the ball. Kayce, will you participate in this year's three-point contest?"

Curry quickly changed the subject, and immediately asked Li Ze about the All-Star Weekend.

"Well, you know, I'm actually not very good at fixed-point shooting, especially three-point shooting, so I recommended Kevin to participate in the competition, and I also recommended Serge for the slam dunk contest. Star Weekend, I want to take a good rest."

Li Zeyan said insincerely, in fact, he is a little embarrassed about the three-pointer. He is better at shooting after dribbling, and the second is shooting after catching the ball. The three-pointer contest of shooting from the spot is too unfriendly to him. Yes, in order to avoid the embarrassing scene that Jordan had in the past, Li Ze declined the alliance invitation.

When Durant learned that he could participate in the three-point contest, he also specially thanked Li Ze, but when he thought that this person was in the same situation as him, and he would get an embarrassing score at that time, it would be a real Yangyin joke up.

"It's a pity. In fact, it's good to participate in the slam dunk contest. I believe many fans are looking forward to the duel between you and Griffin. I hope this year's slam dunk contest will be more exciting. Last year was a bit too boring."

When Li Ze heard Curry's words, future memories came to mind. That silly roe deer of Griffin came to a flying car; a good slam dunk contest of course needs a good opponent, and there is no need to worry about the slam dunk contest, anyway With each passing year, he will get this award sooner or later.

"Remember to call me when you arrive in Los Angeles, and we can play together for a few days."

"I will definitely trouble you, I really hope I can get a single trophy!"

The attendance rate of the Oracle Center arena tonight is much higher than usual. Many fans have made a special trip to watch Li Ze play. There are many Chinese fans here, and many people are engaged in the Internet industry. Under the premise of poor money, many fans chose the front row tickets.

When warming up before the game, Li Ze was surrounded by enthusiastic fans and kept signing autographs and group photos. Durant, who was also warming up at the side, felt sore again when he saw such a scene. This All-Star Weekend, Rihanna was finally able to watch him play live.

But it wasn’t because of Durant’s invitation, but because the NBA invited the popular singer as a guest performer in midfield. Thinking of his private message to Scarlett on Twitter, Durant felt that he should change his target. Oh, the goddess is not easy to chase!

"Kevin, do you want to go out for a stroll together this All-Star Weekend?"

Successfully being selected as an All-Star put Guigui in a good mood. Thinking that Durant was still single, Guigui planned to invite him. Durant, who came back to his senses, heard Guigui's invitation and immediately said:
"You'd better accompany your girlfriend. I'm going to a single party. Green hasn't been very happy recently, so I plan to take advantage of this break and play with him for a few days."

Durant knew that there was a high probability that his die-hard supporters would be traded away, and when he thought about the situation in the locker room in the future, he felt a little gloomy, and the sky was about to change.

After hearing Durant's words, Guigui also realized that the team might have a big deal, and then thought that the teammates who had been together would not be in Oklahoma City in the future, and said with deep emotion:
"Is everything for the championship? I really don't know what the team's interior will look like after the All-Star Weekend."

The Warriors' starting lineup is still the same, with three small outsiders, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Dorell White, and David Lee and Andris Biedrins inside.

After the opening, Monta Ellis continued to attack fiercely under Li Ze's defense.

After Curry dribbled through the half court, he immediately gave the ball to Monta Ellis on the right flank outside the three-point line. Li Ze, who was in action, maintained his defensive position, kept sliding backwards, and physically confronted the opponent on his side.

Monta Ellis dribbled the ball back suddenly with his right hand during the march, then switched to his left hand, and continued to hold the ball to accelerate the breakthrough. The sudden stop and start did not shake off Li Ze's defense, and rushed into the paint area , Facing Li Ze's block, tilted his body, and shot with his right hand.

"Snapped!"

With no loss of position in the defense, Li Ze directly refused, and after Monta Ellis' toss was slapped, the quick-eyed tortoise immediately took control of the ball, and then crazily accelerated with the ball in his right hand.

Ignoring Curry at his side, the tortoise, who rushed across the half court, went straight to the basket. The tortoise took off, and after three big steps, he sent a powerful one-handed dunk with his right hand!

"Boom!" The converted dunk was successful.

Seeing the Thunder complete the attack quickly, the audience at the Oracle Center subconsciously exclaimed, it was too fast, from Li Ze completing the block to the turtle converting the dunk, the whole process took about 8 seconds, the audience in the front row I am even more amazed at the physical fitness of the tortoise, beast!
"Oh!"

After landing, the tortoise screamed again, then started beating his chest wildly, and then gave Li Ze a thumbs up at halfway.

Curry, who has been chasing after him, couldn't help showing envious eyes when he saw the turtle complete the dunk. Every time he played against the Thunder, he felt a little sour when he saw the trio dunk. It's big, but I didn't expect that when I grow up, there will be a commoner dunk at most. This is really too low!

Monta Ellis, who was blocked, looked at Li Ze beside him, feeling a little different in his heart. Compared with the last fight, he seemed to feel that Li Ze's defense was stronger.

However, as an iron-headed baby, Monta Ellis continued to shoot in the next few rounds, but such an offensive choice obviously destroyed the Warriors' offensive rhythm. Under Li Ze's strict defense, Monta Ellis Spangbang hit the iron, and the Thunder accepted the rebound, which was an easy counterattack.

When a wave of 6:0 was played, there was a burst of boos in the Oracle Center Arena. I don’t know if it was for the Thunder or for Monta Ellis and Keith Smart The special head coach also immediately requested a timeout, and he couldn't accept it if he collapsed in one quarter!

"The last time we played against each other, I remember they still hit the ball to the inside. Did Monta Ellis suddenly short-circuit tonight? He brought the Warriors so fast."

Although the score is leading, Durant is not happy playing, there is no pressure, scoring is too easy, and he can't show his skills at all. Originally, he wanted to show off his singles skills when he played against a big team. That, ended up being ruined by Monta Ellis.

Li Ze wiped his sweat with a towel, and did not take Durant's words. He guessed that Monta Ellis himself knew that he would be traded sooner or later, so his mentality changed. Live star players, the result appeared in such a scene.

"Okay, boys, it's not time to relax, control our mistakes, and in the few games before the All-Star Game, we will strive for a complete victory!"

After returning from a timeout, the Warriors finally hit the ball inside. Facing Jeff Green's defense, David Lee made a strong low post and scored two points to help the Warriors stabilize the situation. After the Thunder quickly sent the baseline ball, Before halftime, Guigui gave the ball to Li Ze.

Li Ze didn't deliberately speed up the offensive rhythm, and dribbled slowly across the half court to the left flank beyond the three-point line.

Noticed that Monta Ellis was stepping on the three-point line to defend, and after continuous dribbles under the crotch, he quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, crossed the ball with his left hand and dribbled back, and mobilized Monta Ellis' defensive center of gravity.

At the moment when the opponent was on the defense, his right hand took advantage of the situation and made a large fancy turn. This slightly fancy movement easily got rid of Monta Ellis, and then accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand and went straight to the basket.

Andris Biedrins, who quickly returned to the defense, quickly jumped up to block the block, but Li Ze made a false pass and gave the ball to Krstic who was running down. The latter caught the ball and directly made a one-handed dunk !
"Bang!" The cake was eaten under the basket successfully.

The "V"-shaped position clears the space under the basket. Once Li Ze completes the breakthrough, as long as the Warriors shrink to help defend, Jeff Green and Krstic can both get good opportunities.

Many Chinese fans in the front row began to cheer for Li Ze's assist. The dribble in front of him was really wonderful. With a cross-step dribble and a fancy turn, he completed the dribble easily with only two movements. It is not a loss to buy second-hand tickets for scalpers!

Krstic, who completed the dunk, was very excited, raised his arms and roared, and then gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate. Seeing the other party's happy appearance, Li Ze couldn't help but smile.

The subsequent game has been going on tepidly. Monta Ellis did not give up the offense and continued to shoot a lot. However, when the Warriors were behind, they chose to throw three-pointers wildly, and they hit a few more irons. The Thunder seized the opportunity to switch offenses and directly expanded the point difference to 10 points.

Coach Keith Smart was very angry on the sidelines. Facing teams like the Thunder and Heat, once a three-pointer is missed and the long rebound is controlled by the opponent, it is very likely to be a conversion score.

The three-pointer is a double-edged sword. Of course, the Warriors' game strategy before the game is not like this, but it is a pity that the star players are not obedient.

In the Oracle Center arena, the Warriors fans have long been silent, only a large number of Chinese fans are still cheering for Li Ze's performance, but after the start of the fourth quarter, the head coach of Brooks quickly replaced Li Ze. It also made the fans at the scene a little regretful, they haven't watched it yet!
Back on the bench, Li Ze saw Curry continue to fight with the atmosphere, and complained about Keith Smart's coaching style in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, the game rhythm of each team in the league this year They are all slow, and it is not surprising that Curry's style of play is not taken seriously.

Time ran out quickly, and at 110:94, the Thunder team easily defeated the Warriors in an away game.

Li Ze, who played 38 minutes, scored 24 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block efficiently, and his shooting percentage exceeded 6% again. In fact, Durant has been paying attention to the technical statistics in this game. Seeing Li Ze's outrageous shooting percentage, he felt Started to complain crazily again:
"Can't the Warriors get some tall defenders? My shooting percentage is close to 5%, and no one is paying attention!"

Perhaps because he understood the team's plan, Curry was also in a good mood after the loss. He took the initiative to find Li Ze and started the business mutual promotion mode. road:

"Didn't Lin enter the team's roster today? Why didn't you see him in this game?"

"Unfortunately, he was transferred to the Development League a few days ago, and the prospects for his next contract are not ideal."

Curry shrugged and quickly answered Li Ze's doubts. Hearing such an answer, Li Ze couldn't help but slapped his head. His impression of Jeremy Lin was still in the period when Lin was crazy. He only realized it when he heard Curry's words. So far, Jeremy Lin is just an undrafted pick.

"Wish him luck!"

On February 2th, everyone in the Thunder team came directly to Sacramento after a brief rest. Tonight they will challenge the Kings in an away game. The two teams will meet again after a few days. Naturally, there is not much suspense in the game.

It's just that the bearded player missed the game due to injury, and Li Ze was very speechless after Harden's injury. On the night of the 8th, under Li Ze's hospitality, Harden played a good game directly and completely vented his depression. Feelings.

Then the next morning, the bearded golfer saw Oklahoma City at 2 o'clock in the morning. Perhaps because he spent a lot of energy on the big-bellied girl, Harden, who had weak legs, accidentally sprained his foot , and the sprain is quite serious
Tonight's game, Cousins ​​became the most handsome boy in the game. Without Harden, he scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 turnovers in the game. Under his leadership, the Kings scored 96: 126, lost to the Thunder by 30 points. Fortunately, the main lineup was played early, otherwise it might have been a 58 tragedy.

But Cousins ​​doesn't care about winning or losing the game. It's a pleasure to get the double-double data!It's cool to play without Harden, and he owns the ball!
After the game, the Sleep Train arena was still a little noisy. Seeing Harden limping, Li Ze said dumbfoundedly:

"Next time, remember to do what you can, and remember to call a car when you go out."

Harden thumped his legs depressedly, then raised his eyebrows at Li Ze, and said in a low voice:
"I'll take you to a good place tonight. Don't worry, it's absolutely private. This is a membership that I spent a lot of dollars to get."

Li Ze was speechless when he heard this, okay, it's you who practiced with injuries!
"It's okay to play together, I hope you don't sprain the other foot!"

"."

On February 2th, the Thunder team back in Oklahoma City will usher in the last game before the All-Star break at home, and tonight's opponent is the Grizzlies with a somewhat substandard style of play.

The half-time Grizzlies currently have a record of 27 wins and 26 losses. The opponent is fighting back to back tonight. They just lost to the Lakers in the last game. Pull up their spirits, the game against the Lakers really consumed a lot of their energy.

In this game, Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo were absent due to injuries, so the head coach Hollins also adjusted the lineup, and Sam Young, the second-round pick in the same class as Li Ze, was included in the starting lineup.

The 1 meter young player has only one task after he comes on the field, to cooperate with Tony Allen to guard against Li Ze and Durant.

After the start of the first quarter, the Grizzlies showed a look like I will grind you to death. The offensive rhythm is slow and the defense is full of confrontation. Booed loudly:

"Shh!"

Zach Randolph scored two points under the basket, feeling the unfriendly atmosphere in the arena, Randolph didn't care, and even had the mood to show off his biceps.

The Thunder did not play well in the opening few offenses. Durant seemed a little passive in the face of Tony Allen who switched defenses. Under the opponent's defense, he played three irons first after the opening.

Fortunately, Jeff Green's offensive state tonight is good. He received consecutive passes from Li Ze and scored the ball. The scores of the two teams have been rising alternately.

After observing the defensive strategy of the Grizzlies for a few rounds, Li Ze already understood that the opponent intends to give up Jeff Green's outside line tonight. The two big men try to shrink inside and participate in the defense.

On the other hand, Tony Allen and Sam Young tried their best to drive Li Ze and Durant to the inside. Perhaps due to the absence of Rudy Gay, the head coach of Hollins gave up the 32 defenses he had played against before and adopted A defensive strategy of half-man and half-zone.

At this time, the first quarter of the game has gone on for 1 minutes and 5 seconds, and it is about to enter the official timeout. After the Thunder team sent the baseline ball, Li Ze made an offensive gesture to his teammates. He wanted to change the Thunder team's offensive rhythm.

After the turtle dribbled halfway, Li Ze turned his back to ask for the ball at the left elbow of the free throw line. This position actually made Tony Allen's defense a bit awkward. If there was more physical confrontation, the referee might call him a penalty foul.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze handled the ball very quickly, turned around quickly, and attacked face-to-face. First, he made a fake shot, then lowered his body's center of gravity, and took a quick tentative step with his right foot. Tony Allen's defensive center of gravity first moved forward, and then hurriedly backward Moved a step.

And at the moment when the opponent moved, Li Ze exerted force under his feet, and shot a jumper on the spot.

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

Tony Allen looked at the back of Li Ze returning to the defense, feeling a little helpless in his heart. Unlike defending Durant, he couldn't guess Li Ze's offensive choice at all. There was no difference between left and right hands. All fake moves seemed to him Very realistic, coupled with the height gap, it is indeed very difficult to guard against.

"Great shot! Li Ze still has to attack. Even though the Thunder played well at the beginning, if they want to win the game, they still have to let Li Ze play more."

Perhaps it was because in the first half of the game, Li Ze mostly chose to pass the ball. Director Zhang in the CCTV studio was also a little silent, but seeing Li Ze hit a shot, the old man became active instantly. The host Yu Jia on the side heard this. I don't know how to proceed
After scoring this goal, the game also entered the official timeout. Coach Brooks was very satisfied with the team's performance, especially Li Ze, who successfully read the Grizzlies' defense. After the opening, Jeff Green's outside shot successfully helped The Thunder opened up the space on the floor.

"Kevin, reduce dribbling, especially left-handed dribbling. The opponent wants you to break through from the left, cover and catch the ball and shoot directly. Their blocks will definitely not interfere with you."

Taking advantage of the break, Li Ze told Durant, who was a bit stubborn, that this guy was a little bit competitive with the opponent after the opening tonight, and always wanted to show his weak side ability, but Bang, who was defended, Bang strikes iron.

Durant, who was in a depressed mood, could only nod his head. He also recovered from the state above. In fact, his original intention was to get more attention, but unfortunately, his current strength could not support his showy operations.
After returning from the timeout, the Oklahoma City fans in the Ford Center Arena, led by the live DJ, once again cheered for the team's defense:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

At this time, the Thunder had changed their defensive strategy and began to choke the outside line. Michael Conley had just dribbled halfway, but he was strictly guarded by the tortoise. Marc Gasol quickly came to the three-point line to pick and roll. Randolph has stuck his position in the left block, immediately lobs the ball, and sends the ball inside.

In the absence of double-team defense, Randolph faced Jeff Green's defense, quickly released the ball with his right hand, walked up the line and crushed it into the paint area, then used his own weight advantage, quickly turned down the line, and at the same time used his body Pushing away Jeff Green, he made a successful left-handed shot from the basket.

The Thunder didn't care, and quickly drove the baseline ball. Everyone rushed to the opponent's half. Turtle quickly passed the ball to Krstic in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and then cut inside to take away the defense.

Durant in the right corner quickly moved up the line, received a hand-off pass from Krstic, and moved to the top of the arc with his left hand. At the same time, Li Ze, in the left corner, used Jeff Green to cover and briefly Get rid of Tony Allen's entanglement, and then quickly moved to the left wing beyond the three-point line.

Seeing that Li Ze had an opportunity, Durant immediately gave up the plan to pass the ball to Li Ze, and quickly passed the ball to Li Ze. Tony Allen chased and defended very quickly, but when he saw Li Ze received the ball I didn't adjust it, I pulled it up and threw it with a slight drift outside the three-point line, and I was still a little confused.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

"Li Ze caught the ball and made a shot? Score! Drift and throw the ball in! Terrifying shooting ability!"

The host Yu Jia almost said that this was not a good offensive choice, but in the next second he saw Li Ze throwing the ball in, and then immediately changed his words and quickly praised it.

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene burst into loud cheers immediately. This is their favorite offense. The head coach Hollins on the sidelines seemed to see Li Ze's intentions, and quickly made a gesture of pressing down, and loudly reminded Michael -Conley controls the tempo of the offense.

When the inside line can easily send the ball to the basket, the Grizzlies' offense is still slowly speeding up. The rhythm of the game is gradually being mastered by the Thunder, and Li Ze's offense is getting easier every time. When you get up, throw it away, and when you throw it away, you will enter.

This made the Oklahoma City fans shout excitedly, shoot the Grizzlies to death!
At the end of the first quarter, at 1:27, the two sides turned into a confrontational battle in the second half of the quarter, and in this rhythm of the game, the Thunder led by 32 points unknowingly.

Li Ze scored 5 of 4 in a single quarter and scored 9 points efficiently, and under his leadership, Durant gradually recovered his touch and recovered the [-]-[-] BUFF.

In the rotation stage of the second quarter, Hollins head coach chose a double-height backcourt. Graves Vasquez and Xavier Henry are both 2 meters tall. Obviously, this is the rotation lineup for the Thunder. Real - Arthur replaced Randolph, Sam - Young and Marc - Gasol continued to play.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking, still in a simple "V"-shaped position. After halftime, Li Ze immediately had a pick-and-roll with Ibaka in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. After briefly getting rid of Vasquez's pursuit, Dale Al-Arthur's quick switch over.

At this time, Li Ze suddenly raised the center of gravity of his body, shaking his body confusingly with the in and out movements of his right hand, then quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, suddenly dribbled the ball vigorously, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Darrell Arthur Was shocked for a moment.

When he reacted, Li Ze had easily broken through to the basket, made a layup, and easily sent the ball into the basket.

"Remember not to stick it so close next time, or I will still pass you by one step!"

Seeing that the opponent was still standing there in a daze, Li Ze immediately laughed and teased Darrell Arthur, who may have subconsciously wanted to defend after seeing Li Ze's continuous long-range shots on the bench. Obviously this is not a good defensive option.

"Hey! That's amazing! Look carefully at Li Ze's dribbling movements, the ball seems to be stuck to his hands, and he passed someone with a single snap, that's incredible!"

Director Zhang once again entered Li Ze's blowing mode. Anyway, everything is good, blowing is over!
The Grizzlies still want to slow down the offensive rhythm, and at the same time use Marc Gasol's support ability to play some simple passes and cuts, but Ibaka's mobility is very strong, and his defense ability is also very good. , failed to find a good opportunity to make a move.

Seeing that time was running out, Marc Gasol finally made a mid-range shot from the free throw line and scored the ball at the buzzer.

The Thunder immediately sent out the baseline ball, Li Ze quickly rushed across the half court, Vasquez had been sticking to his side, at the top of the arc beyond the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly slowed down his dribbling rhythm, and suddenly pulled the ball back slightly with his left hand , Pretending to turn around.

Noticing that the center of gravity of Vasquez's defense moved to the right, Li Ze quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body. At the same time, he stepped with his right foot and accelerated the breakthrough with his left hand holding the ball. He suddenly stopped and started, and directly passed Vasquez's defense, while the Grizzlies The team's defense just fell into place.

Li Ze's speed is fast, straight into the penalty area, just one step past the free throw line, his feet take off quickly into the air, Marc Gasol subconsciously jumps up to block the block, but it turns out that Li Ze's jump is too high, almost on the head In the case of a flat frame, his block is completely useless.

After the mid-air confrontation, Li Ze was not affected. He pulled his left arm back to complete the charge, and swung the ball into the basket condescendingly!

"Boom!" The heavy tomahawk-style buckle.

"what!"

After completing the dunk, Li Ze landed steadily, then roared passionately, and then hurriedly posed for the camera under the basket. At this time, the excited Ibaka also screamed and rushed towards Li Ze. After three seconds of being handsome, Li Ze was shot by his teammates. They were surrounded.

Marc Gasol staggered a little, and was almost knocked down by Li Ze again, but seeing Vasquez raised his hand in apologetic gesture, there was nowhere to vent his depression.

"Dunk! The dunk is really beautiful. Look at Li Ze's jumping. If you participate in the slam dunk contest, you will definitely win the championship!"

When the host Yu Jia heard this, he couldn't take it anymore, he was blowing too hard.

The wonderful dunk successfully ignited the atmosphere of the Ford Center Arena, and the Oklahoma City fans also got excited and began to cheer loudly for the home team.

In the next few rounds, the Grizzlies' offense had some problems. The outside shots were missed by the Thunder's tight defense. Although Marc Gasol could still hit some shots, the pace of the game was getting worse. come faster.

Noticing that Ibaka and Jeff Green were eating cakes in a row, the head coach Hollins on the sidelines directly requested a timeout. The rhythm of the game was completely wrong, and the tactical strategies arranged before the game had been left behind by the players.

"It seems that the absence of Rudy Gay still affects the Grizzlies. The outside offense is too poor. Under this kind of game rhythm, it is unrealistic to expect the big center to score consecutively and quickly."

The host Yu Jia took advantage of the timeout to briefly comment on the offense of the Grizzlies.

"We have played so many games and played against the Thunder. First of all, you have to be able to defend, otherwise the point difference will definitely get bigger and bigger. You still have to get Tony Allen back. Once you lead a lot, the Grizzlies teammates are not very good at it. If you attack, you will definitely not be able to catch up."

This game made Director Zhang very happy. He thought it would be a tough battle, but due to the offensive problems of the Grizzlies, the Thunder easily expanded the point difference to 2 points in the second quarter.

Perhaps due to the approach of the All-Star Weekend and back-to-back games, the concentration of the Grizzlies on the game has obviously declined, and the game did not show the intensity of confrontation in the past.

In the rest of the time, the Grizzlies played tepidly and seemed to no longer consider the issue of falling behind, while the Thunder at home had a very good outside touch, and even Sefolosha hit a three-pointer.

Li Ze noticed that Tony Allen was no longer chasing desperately, and immediately realized that the Grizzlies were planning to give up. Coach Hollins also sat back on the bench. He was not satisfied with the team's performance. Star Weekend is approaching, and his team members obviously want to take a break.
