The best teammates in the NBA

In the NBA, defensive matchups mostly pay attention to body size. The coaching staff of the Grizzlies has always insisted on using the 1-meter Sam Young to defend Durant in the regular season, and the 98-meter Tony A. Lun went to face Li Ze.

This kind of defensive strategy seems to be no problem, but in fact Li Ze still performed very efficiently against Tony Allen, so as the strongest perimeter defender of the Grizzlies, Tony Allen did not play his due role. effect.

And when the Grizzlies studied the game videos of Li Ze and Durant a lot, they finally came to a conclusion that maybe Li Ze cannot be restricted, but Durant still has weaknesses, such as his weak side Hand attack cannot be as arbitrary as Li Ze. For example, after applying a lot of physical confrontation, Durant sometimes loses his own offensive rhythm...

Therefore, in the G1 game, the head coach Hollins saw the Thunder's outside state after the opening, and immediately knew that if he wanted to limit the opponent's offense, he had to make changes as soon as possible, otherwise he would wait until the game entered the second half. They are all raised. Once the Grizzlies hit the iron, there is a high probability that the game will be gone.

After the official timeout in the first quarter came back, the Thunder attacked, and Durant found that his defender had become Tony Allen. Facing this shorter defender, Durant didn't take the opponent seriously at all. His superiority made him confident.

After halftime, the Thunder still had a simple "V" position. Li Ze stood in the left corner, Durant stood in the right corner, and Perkins and Ibaka stood together. Standing at the two elbows of the free throw line on the left and right, Guigui saw that Durant had a huge dislocation advantage here, and immediately made an offensive gesture.

Durant in the right bottom corner quickly started and began to move to the right flank. Ibaka also immediately went to cover for Durant to receive the ball. At this time, Tony Allen showed that he was different from Sam Young. physical antagonism.

First, he nimbly squeezed through the screen to prevent himself from losing his defensive position. At the same time, when Durant received the ball, he continued to exert physical confrontation on the right side, allowing Durant to break through with his left hand. Zach Randolph also Let go of Ibaka and stand on Durant's breakthrough route ahead of time.

Durant found that he was about to be pinched by the two, but it was difficult for him to pass the ball to the open Ibaka with his left hand. Therefore, after taking two big steps, he stopped and shot a jumper near the free throw line.

"Bang!" Angrily strike!
Randolph is very experienced. The moment he saw Durant make an emergency stop, he used his fleshy body to block Ibaka who was about to grab a rebound. The moment the ball popped out, he firmly received the backcourt rebound. .

The audience at the scene didn't care about the Thunder's offense. After all, Durant got a good shot and it was just a strike. Under the leadership of the DJ on the scene, the Oklahoma City fans began to cheer for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After halftime, Michael Conley noticed the Thunder's 23-zone defense. Marc Gasol immediately came to the top of the arc to pick and roll with Conley. The defense was also forced to come up.

Conley changed direction with the ball in his right hand, broke through on the left side, and used Marc Gasol's pick-and-roll to get rid of the tortoise for a short time. He suddenly accelerated while moving, allowing Perkins' defensive center of gravity to shift back, and then hit the ground with his left hand to pass the ball. Easy pass to Marc Gasol at the free throw line. …

The latter caught the ball and came to the paint area, facing Ibaka, who was helping to defend him, held it high and hit it high. After turning around, he approached the basket and succeeded in throwing with his left hand.

"Shh!"

Huge boos immediately erupted at the Ford Center, and the Grizzlies' shooting percentage was too high to withstand it.

Compared with last season's playoffs, the mentality of everyone in the Thunder team has undergone a huge change. Everyone knows how to win. The Grizzlies' pick-and-rolls for big men are the same for the Thunder team.

In this attack, Ibaka went directly outside the three-point line and covered the turtle, and Li Ze immediately shot Perkins and Durant, signaling them to stay still and open up the offensive space.

After the screen happened, Guigui accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Li Ze, who was standing on the free throw line, first went to the screen and delayed Randolph who wanted to follow up. Then he immediately bounced out and quickly came to the left flank outside the three-point line .

The marching Guigui threw the ball directly to Li Ze outside with his right hand, catching the ball and swaying it, causing Sam Young, who was defending him, to shift his defensive center of gravity forward subconsciously, quickly lowering the center of gravity of his body, and Li Ze took a big step forward with his right foot, At the same time, let the left hand take advantage of the situation, dribble the ball across the hips, and hold the ball in the right hand to pretend to break through.

Li Ze clearly attacked Sam Young's defensive front support foot, which made it impossible for the opponent to adjust the defensive center of gravity in time. Li Ze watched Li Ze dribble vigorously with his right hand on the spot, and directly retreated to the three-point line for an easy jump shot.

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

Hearing the huge cheers coming from the scene, Sam Yang's scalp was numb. Thinking that there were three more quarters of the game, he would have to face Li Ze, and he just wanted to shout loudly:
"Let me guard Durant!"

"Very smart offensive choice, pay attention to Kayce's dribbling rhythm, two simple dribbles, he successfully attacked the defender's front support foot, incredible physical coordination! Maybe the Grizzlies made the wrong matchup choice !"

In the commentary on TNT, Reggie Miller turned into Li Zechui again, but he was really not optimistic about the Grizzlies' defensive options. Obviously, Sam Young's single defense ability is not as good as Tony Allen.

The head coach Hollins just applauded on the sidelines to encourage his players. As a rookie team in the playoffs, many times they were stunned by the opponent's consecutive goals. Hollins signaled Michael Conley to continue Give the ball to the inside, and at the same time drop the tempo again.

In the remaining minutes of the first quarter, the Grizzlies continued to maintain their high-efficiency offense. Sam Young and Tony Allen have completely turned into defensive tools, and all the possessions are concentrated in Lanzhou. Dove, Gasol, and Conley.

At 28:31, under the efficient offensive performance of the Thunder, the Grizzlies are still biting the score.

Randolph and Marc Gasol were all 4-for-4 in a single quarter. Such an outstanding performance made the Oklahoma City fans a little worried.

Coach Brooks started the rotation with 1 minute and 1 seconds left in the first quarter of the game. Li Ze was the first to be replaced. After the intermission, he saw Durant gasping for breath and immediately reminded the opponent:
"Facing Tony Allen's defense, you have to slow down your offensive rhythm. The opponent is very good at chasing screens. Kevin, you have to make good use of your height advantage. Don't worry, there is still a long time in the game!"

"Xie Te! I didn't expect this guy to defend so well. I underestimated him a little bit before!"...

After Durant heard Li Ze's words, he drank a big sip of water and began to complain about Tony Allen. Then he thought that if he didn't perform poorly, the media would definitely make a "Durant Terminator" gimmick after the game...

Turtle was also a little uncomfortable being defended. It wasn't that Conley's single defense was so effective, but that the opponent almost went off the line every pick-and-roll. After breaking through to the inside, there was always a big player protecting the frame, which made his game Emotions can't be released.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides sent out their own rotation lineups. Coach Hollins carried out a large-scale rotation. The backcourt of the Grizzlies became Vasquez and OJ-Mayo. Shane Battier and Darrell Arthur, while Zach Randolph continued to play.

On the Thunder Guard's side, Li Ze and Dai Quinn Cook form the backcourt, Sefoloza and Collison are on the front line, and center Nazr Mohammed.

The Thunder team took the lead in attacking. In this lineup, Li Ze, who played the No. 1 position, had a heavier offensive task. After halftime, he immediately launched a pick-and-roll with Collison from beyond the three-point line. Darrell Arthur Obviously got the instructions, and at the moment the pick-and-roll happened, he directly chose the big delay.

Faced with such a defense, Li Ze's choice was simple and rude. He made a large in and out with his left hand during the march, instantly changing the rhythm of the dribble, and the center of gravity of the body fluctuated with the movement. The left hand holds the ball to accelerate the breakthrough.

Noticing that Randolph under the basket has started to move, Li Ze, who broke through the paint area, quickly turned around with the ball in his left hand. Randolph was overjoyed when he saw Li Ze's movement. The ball was gone, and the moment he came back to his senses, Nazr Mohammed easily ate the cake under the basket.

"Kayce once again showed his excellent ability to combine the ball! After the pick-and-roll, he simply broke through and scored the ball. It seems that the Grizzlies have to pay attention to defense!"

Steve Kerr immediately expressed his admiration, and the narrator Kevin Harlan found that the two guests beside him were better at blowing...

"Good job!"

Li Ze briefly encouraged the veteran Nazr Mohammed, who is prone to spit out cakes sometimes, so he must be properly encouraged...

"Watch my pass, guys! Every time I make a drive, as long as the opponent shrinks, there will definitely be an opportunity."

Taking advantage of returning to defense, Li Ze briefly told his teammates that the head coach Brooks didn't have a clear style of play during the break, and as a point guard, Li Ze had to reassure his teammates first.

OJ-Mayo saw that Li Ze beside him was a little speechless. He really didn't want to match up with Li Ze, but with the Grizzlies' rotation lineup, he had to contribute his own firepower. At this time, he could only bite the bullet and catch the ball .

Mayo and Arthur made a cross screen in the three-second zone. Li Ze was prepared and completed the switch in an instant. When Mayo came to the three-point line to receive the ball, Li Ze's defensive rotation was already in place.

Feinting, Mayo found that Li Ze still maintained a good defensive position. He took two quick tentative steps in a row. Mayo chose to hold the ball in his right hand to speed up the breakthrough. Li Ze easily predicted the opponent's offensive choice and was always firmly at his side. Cover each other.

Cross-step dribble back, left hand quickly changed direction in front of the body, and right hand half-turned in a confusing manner. Mayo tried his best, but still couldn't get rid of Li Ze's defense. In the end, the stubborn Mayo faced Li Ze's Blocked the shot and made a difficult mid-range shot. …

"Bang!" Angrily strike!
Reluctantly shot the ball so that the ball did not bounce too far, Collison took advantage of the opportunity to protect the rebound, and once it was passed to Li Ze, the Thunder launched a conversion attack.

Everyone on the Grizzlies team directly chose to return to defense the moment they saw the iron strike. No one wanted to suffer the Thunder's switch. At this time, everyone flocked to the Grizzlies' half court.

During the transition, Li Ze's dribble was fast and steady. Noticing the Grizzlies' defensive formation, Li Ze slowed down slightly when he came to the three-point line. Look at the frame and pretend to join the ball.

Realistic fake moves, directly pointing Vasquez flying, quickly changing direction with his left hand, holding the ball with his right hand and pushing straight into the penalty area, jumping with both feet in the paint area, and quickly vacated.

Just as Randolph was defending under the basket, he realized that Li Ze had already flown over. His body jumped subconsciously, and he immediately realized that he was about to become a background board...

After jumping in a hurry, Randolph's jumping height was not enough, which made Li Ze not affected in any way after the aerial confrontation. He was condescending, separated from the black fat man, grabbed the ball with his right hand and single-armed the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

"Kayce Gets inside! Sm dunk! OH!~"

In the huge cheers that erupted in the Ford Center arena, the commentator Kevin Harlan also yelled excitedly.

The two teams played calmly in the first quarter, and there were no exciting scenes, but Li Ze suddenly exploded, which immediately cheered up the Oklahoma City fans!

Fortunately, Randolph was heavy, and he only staggered after landing, but seeing Li Zezheng yelling and pretending to be X at the camera under the basket, turning around and shaking his fingers at him covertly, immediately made Randolph angry. It's choking.

When the entire Ford Center arena turned into a sea of ​​white, everyone in the Grizzlies felt the pressure. Looking at the point difference has widened to 7 points, it always feels that the game will be over in an instant.

Head coach Hollins immediately asked for a timeout. He knew that the young teams in the playoffs were inexperienced and easily collapsed. At this time, he didn't care about the start of the second quarter, and he had to interrupt the momentum of the Thunder.

After returning from the timeout, Randolph hit two more points at the basket. The Thunder didn't care, and quickly sent the baseline ball. After halftime, Li Ze once again had a pick-and-roll with Collison outside the three-point line.

Dai Quinn Cook took advantage of the free throw line to cover Li Ze, delaying Arthur's defense, and then immediately bounced out to open up the offensive space. Arthur's defense was half a beat slower, and Li Ze accelerated with the ball in his right hand. Successfully stuck half of his body, against the opponent's block, in the paint area, leaned half his body, and easily picked the basket with his right hand.

"Shua!" The basket scored two points.

"Too easy!"

After finishing the attack easily, Li Ze yelled two words with a smile, then shook his head and quickly retreated. The head coach Hollins on the sidelines did not expect Li Ze to have a huge change in his offensive choices in the playoffs, and the Grizzlies were stunned …

Li Ze chose to make continuous breakthroughs mainly because he wanted to cause Randolph to foul. He was not worried about the team's inside line. There is a huge gap in human experience.

Perhaps it was because of Li Ze's insight into Li Ze's intentions, no matter how provocative, Randolph still played steadily, and he could stand on the free throw line even if he couldn't make a goal. Although Li Ze organized the Thunder's offense well, the point difference was always at 7 points Bouncing back and forth. …

With 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter, the head coach of Brooks replaced Li Ze, Cook, Nazr Muhammad, and replaced Turtle, Durant, and Ibaka. The Grizzlies were still top. The most difficult time has passed.

Just as Li Ze sat down, everyone in the atmosphere group quickly handed over water bottles and towels, they must serve the golden thighs well!

Li Ze took over the technical statistics handed over by the assistant coach, and took a brief look. In the half game, he made 11 of 7, 1 of 1-pointers, no free throws, 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. He shook his head slightly, a little dissatisfied with not getting free throws .

Nate Robinson at the side was completely speechless when he saw Li Ze's small actions. The statistics are not satisfactory...?Many players are overjoyed when they score 15 points in a game!
In the remaining few minutes, the Thunder's offense had some small problems. Durant hit the iron continuously. Fortunately, the Grizzlies' shooting percentage also began to decline, and the point difference finally stayed at 5 points.

At 54:59, the Thunder entered the second half with a 5-point lead.

During the halftime break, in the Thunder locker room, Durant was a little depressed. He didn't expect his defense against Tony Allen to be so ineffective. Then he thought that Li Ze would almost cut me off against Tony Allen. The dish, Durant once again possessed lemon essence, it was so sour...

Head coach Brooks is very satisfied with the team's performance, and the tactical strategy arranged before the game is also well executed. Although the defensive end is not satisfactory, considering the strength of the Grizzlies inside, such a result is acceptable.

"Perfect first half of the game, in the third quarter we can properly speed up the pace of the game, and at the same time use the pick-and-roll offense to continue attacking their big players!"

"The big man should pay attention to the number of fouls. Don't enter the penalty state too early in the third quarter. We must strive to win the game in the third quarter!"

The assistant coach pushed out the tactical whiteboard that had just been written, briefly explained the Grizzlies' offensive routine, and reminded Li Ze and Durant that they can properly retract their defenses, and also reminded the turtles to stick to their defense Squeeze through, can't slack off...

After the start of the second half, the Grizzlies tried their best on the defensive end, especially Tony Allen. Let Durant catch the ball easily.

In the Thunder's offense, Durant had a rare opportunity to open after a screen, and received a pass from the turtle, but he hit the iron again.

"It seems that the head coach Hollins seems to have caught Durant's weakness. I want to take back what I said before. Tony Allen's defense against Durant is very effective. This is indeed beyond my expectations!"

In the commentary seat of TNT, Reggie Miller was surprised to see Durant struggling a bit. At this time, Steve Kerr also said:
"Perhaps because of the first playoff game, Durant seems to have not adjusted his physical condition. It seems that he has not adapted to the Grizzlies' defensive intensity, but the Grizzlies' offense also has problems. Their two wing shots are really bad!"

In the offense of the Grizzlies, Zach Randolph just got the ball in the low post, Li Ze on the left wing immediately gave up Tony Allen, who was facing him, and cooperated with Ibaka to double-team Randolph.

Randolph flicks the ball into the open hands of Tony Allen, who catches it, hesitates from beyond the arc, then hits a jumper...

The rebound was dialed by Gasol and returned to the Grizzlies again. Sam Young on the outside got an open opportunity, received a pass from Gasol, and made an open three-point jumper.

"Bang!" Another strike.

The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately erupted into loud cheers, the Grizzlies are really good to hit the iron!This time the long rebound was directly accepted by Li Ze. Seeing the Grizzlies retreating quickly, Li Ze gave the ball to the turtle, and at the same time reminded his teammates loudly:

"Protect the rebound! Stay focused!"

Simple pistol tactics, after completing a hand-to-hand with Li Ze, Guigui put into gear and accelerated, going straight to the basket. Under the interference of Gasol, he finally knocked out of the basket.

Perkins at the basket first clicked, and then Ibaka, relying on his excellent bounce, picked melons behind Randolph's head, grabbed the offensive rebound, and quickly gave the ball to the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line. Li Ze.

When Sam Yang saw Li Ze receiving the ball, he didn't dare to get too close. He was already numb, but seeing Li Ze's realistic feint after hitting Li Ze's tentative step, the defensive center moved forward subconsciously.

The opponent moved slightly, Li Ze quickly lowered the center of gravity of his body, broke through with the ball in his right hand, easily passed Sam Young's defense, noticed that Gasol had already helped defend in place, and broke through to the bottom line position, Li Ze drifted to the right Upside down jump shot.

"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance.

Marc Gasol was completely speechless, he almost forgot that Li Ze actually prefers the middle distance...

Li Ze and Perkins and Ibaka simply high-fived to celebrate. This is how the playoffs are. To suppress the opponent, morale is sometimes very important.

In the following games, the scene became a bit ugly. Due to the increase in confrontation, the shooting percentage of both sides began to decline again. At the same time, the Grizzlies increased their rebound rush, and the Thunder were not to be outdone.

Perkins acted as a meat shield. The offensive and defensive ends were mixed in the interior. Coupled with Ibaka's excellent jumping, the two sides were evenly matched in rebounds. If you grab one from me, I will grab it back.

In order to improve his shooting percentage, Li Ze also reduced the number of three-pointers, started to catch the ball more in the blocking area, and finished close to the basket.

The scene became more and more lively, and the sound of hammering irons came out frequently. At first, the Oklahoma City fans were worried that the Grizzlies' outside line would suddenly show their power. However, when the game was halfway through the fourth quarter, everyone was completely relieved. The Grizzlies' outside line Just can't make it!
The head coach Hollins next to him is still loudly reminding his players to continue to stay focused.

The Thunder's attack, Li Ze jumped out with the help of Perkins' cover in the three-second zone, Sam Yang chased and defended desperately, saw Li Ze suddenly paused, and seemed to want to run back, Sam Yang quickly adjusted his defense The center of gravity, it turned out that Li Ze's reverse running was fake, and after shaking, he quickly bounced out...

The left flank outside the three-point line received a pass from the tortoise. He threw the ball without making any adjustments. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell straight to the basket.

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"BANG! Kayce For the three!"

Seeing Li Ze throw a three-pointer, the commentator Kevin Harlan can finally release his emotions loudly. It is really painful to watch you play, and there are not many three-pointers in a game...

After that, Shane Battier responded with a strike from outside the three-point line, the Thunder switched offense, Durant fired directly from outside the three-point line, and threw another three-pointer.

"Oh! Oh!"

Ford Center Arena, Oklahoma City fans began to cheer loudly, everyone has begun to celebrate the victory of the game!
Throwing in this three-pointer, Durant also heaved a sigh of relief. Counting the ball for 6 of 2, he finally failed...

At the last moment of the game, the Grizzlies still did not give up. Although the point difference had reached 11 points, the head coach Hollins did not replace the main lineup, but the game time was not enough.

In the end, 100:111, the Thunder successfully defended their home court.

At the end of the game, Sam Yang loosened his body and finally didn't have to continue defending Li Ze. This kind of matchup was really painful!

Smiling after winning the game, Coach Brooks, who was in a good mood, took the initiative to shake hands with Coach Hollins.

After the players from both sides simply greeted each other, the Grizzlies quickly walked back to the player tunnel. The new team still lost the first playoff game.

The Ford Center Arena turned into a sea of ​​jubilation again, and the playoffs are off to a good start!
此时李泽正在场边接受TNT记者的采访，本场比赛他21中12，三分球5中3，罚球4中4，高效砍下31分8篮板7助攻1失误1抢断，接近6成的命中率，已经让解说席上的雷吉-米勒吹不动了。

"Congratulations, Kayce, you successfully won G1. Let me briefly comment on this game. It was not easy for you to win tonight."

"This is the playoffs. The Grizzlies are a competent opponent. Their interior strength is strong, and they have been trying to slow down the rhythm during the game, but we dealt with it very well. The coaching staff made full preparations before the game. Get ready and your teammates are doing great too!"

Li Ze said a lot of big talk, and the black female reporter of Weitan didn't want to make trouble, so she asked a very routine question:

"Kayce, I noticed that your shooting percentage in this game seems to be close to 6%. This is an incredible performance. How would you rate your performance in this game?"

Hearing such a question, Li Ze put an X on his face calmly:

"Well, let's score 6 points. Although I got to the free throw line in the third quarter, my offensive rhythm was indeed destroyed, so I will continue to work hard in the follow-up games and constantly improve myself!"

"... "

Apparently Li Ze's pretending to be X made this black female reporter completely speechless. Do you want to go to heaven?

...

With the end of the game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies, the results of G1 in the first round of the playoffs are all released.

On the same night, the Celtics in the Eastern Conference defeated the Knicks at home, and the Spurs in the West took the Hornets lightly. The Lakers reversed the game in the second half and won the Nuggets with a 4-point advantage.

So far, the teams in the upper half of the league, except for the magic team that stretched across, all the other teams have won.

After the end of G1, Amerika's media reporters and ball critics began to comment on the teams and the performance of the players.

TNT, which was in trouble, began to bad-mouth the Lakers, sang praises for the Thunder, and praised Li Ze, while ESPN once again turned into Zhan Chuan, a platform for the Heat, and also praised Rose's performance by the way. …

However, the playoffs all start with an away game win. As a professional sports media, it is not appropriate to brag too much about the first two rounds. Everyone is silently waiting for G3.

On April 4th, Durant was surfing the Internet at home. Seeing that everyone did not criticize his performance, he couldn't help but feel completely relieved. He scored 18 of 20 and scored 8 points. slipped a bit.

"Okay, Kevin, don't pay too much attention to the opinions of the fans and the media, not to mention that 24 points is also the second highest score in the team, you always think too much."

"Look at Russell. He scored 22 points. His efficiency is about the same as yours, but he doesn't have as many troubles as you. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to become a psychiatrist. You can't be too strict with yourself."

The bald manager Kleiman saw his big employer holding a mobile phone and swiping endlessly, so he couldn't help but comfort him.

Durant continued to flip through the phone while typing with his fingers. Hearing what manager Kleiman said, he said without raising his head:
"Believe me buddy, if we lost last night, I would definitely be hacked. I will never allow such a thing to happen. Is our media company secure?"

"I'm doing business, don't worry, it would be great if you can play in New York. San Francisco is also good. There are also many start-ups there, and you can make money by doing some venture capital."

Although Durant yearns for big cities, but thinking of the big contract he just signed, he still feels that money is more important in his heart. Thinking of the terms of the contract with Nike, he reminded again:

"I remember that there is a bonus for reaching the playoffs. Don't forget about this!"

"Of course, Kevin, do you have a chance to reach the finals? As long as the data is good, we can operate the FMVP!"

Upon hearing the data, the corner of Durant's mouth twitched, unable to complain:
"If you really want to look at the statistics, then I may not be able to compare with Kayce, not only me, I believe that any outside player in the league should be inferior to him in terms of statistics..."

"... "

To enter the playoffs, many players can activate additional terms, and the team can also get income. The 16 teams that have entered the playoffs this season will share a total of 1300 million dollars in bonuses.

Participate in the competition and get money. The first bonus of each team is about 1 US dollars. As the promotion continues, the small money will increase, and the championship team will get more than 19 million US dollars in bonuses!

On the evening of the 18th, there were two G2 games in the NBA. The Bulls defeated the Pacers again, and the Heat also relied on their excellent defense to easily blow up the 76ers.

Amelia's media reporters saw that the Heat had limited the 76 team's scoring to 73 points, and they had a collective climax again. This is the dominance of the Big Three!
On the night of the 19th, three G3 games started, and the stretched Magic team finally won at home, 2:82, narrowly beating the Eagles by 88 points.

The Celtics at home also performed well, beating the Knicks 93:96 with difficulty; in contrast, the Mavericks showed their outside firepower, beating the Trail Blazers easily 89:101 .

The team in the upper half won again. There was not much suspense in the game, and the fans couldn't get enough of it. It was agreed that the black eight black seven, the next game is the top, why didn't any of them happen...

On April 4th, during the thunder team's training session in the afternoon, Durant saw Li Ze hitting fadeaway jumpers for 20 consecutive rounds. He was completely speechless. Good guy, this is getting stronger and stronger. He really wants to transform into Jordan. ……

At the end of the training session, Li Zehan didn't come out. The Thunder's training session hadn't challenged him much. Most of the time he was feeding cakes and accompanying his teammates to adjust tactics, and the reason for his good state was also related to his A golden badge just harvested is related to:
Achievement Badge [Back to the King]: 1/5000 (you can enjoy the bonus of the champion badge)

Improve the ability to make post-back fadeaway jump shots, improve the stability of the shot, and reduce the impact of frontal defenders.

This badge is just right for Li Ze. During the playoffs, under a lot of physical confrontation, he is still more confident in the mid-range, and his back-up jumper technique is very suitable for him. After all, he is two meters tall. Coupled with the back, it is enough to deal with the defense of most defenders.

Moreover, this badge not only brings attribute bonuses, but the basketball intuition bonus on the offensive end is the most important. Li Ze is still adapting to this. In short, his strength is a little bit stronger.

"It seems that we will win tonight. Kayce is in great shape. I hope everything goes well in the away game. I really don't like going to Memphis to play!"

In the locker room, Guigui simply tidied up her clothes, and when she saw Li Ze's leisurely look, she immediately praised her good brother.

"I believe the Grizzlies will not always be so good inside!"

The tool man Perkins also quickly expressed his opinion. He was blown away by Marc Gasol in the last game, and he was once again ashamed in front of the cute new players, which made the champion center a little embarrassed.

"The perimeter of the Grizzlies is still too bad. Let's see the situation at night. Maybe we can double-team the interior after the opening game."

When Durant heard Li Ze's words, he agreed very much:

"Trust me guys, it's not easy for Tony Allen to defend me. Excessive physical consumption will definitely make him miss the offensive end!"

When the atmosphere team heard a few people blowing wildly, they couldn't help echoing. Although everyone was suspected of blowing X, it was unbelievable that the game at night went smoothly.

After the end of the first quarter, the Oklahoma City fans in the Ford Center arena are already in high spirits!
At 17:30, the Thunder led by 13 points in the first quarter.

Contrary to Li Ze's expectations, he doesn't know whether the Grizzlies' outside line is strong or not, but Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol's combined 9-for-1 almost made his jaw drop.

Head coach Hollins asked for a timeout after the opening, trying to use thick chicken soup to wake up the players' touch, but unfortunately, everyone beat the iron afterwards, and the Thunder easily gained a double-digit lead by relying on counterattacks. .

Coach Hollins didn't expect this to happen, so in the rotation stage of the second quarter, he just replaced Marc Gasol, who was out of shape, with Darrell Arthur, and the other main players continued to play. Playing, smashing the main force, the Grizzlies are going to work hard again!
After the start of the second quarter, the Thunder took the lead in attacking. Although they gained a double-digit lead, Li Ze did not deliberately slow down. After halftime, he immediately gave the ball to Sefolosha at the top of the arc.

Nazr Mohammed immediately raised the screen, and after completing a hand-off pass with Sefoloza, Li Ze took advantage of the right hand to accelerate the breakthrough. Using Nazr Mohammed's screen, he got rid of the Tony Allen's defensive entanglements. …

Noticing that Arthur's defense has been delayed, Li Ze, who was walking, suddenly sent the ball forward with his right hand. After adjusting his footsteps, he pulled the ball with his left hand sharply. Sam Gould, who was marching with a huge amount, directly swayed Arthur who was assisting the defense. .

"Oh!"

The wonderful extraordinary action made the Oklahoma City fans in the Ford Center Arena subconsciously exclaim.

After changing direction, Li Ze cut into the basket with the ball in his left hand. Just as Randolph's defense was about to move, Li Ze took advantage of the situation and made a pass fake move, which stunned Randolph and made an easy layup with his left hand!
The moment Li Ze scored the goal, the excited Oklahoma City players started shouting and shouting. The fancy moves are definitely the favorite of the fans!
Thunder was on the bench, Turtle and Durant were throwing towels wildly again, and the atmosphere group also screamed and screamed, their movements were too showy.

Seeing Arthur looking at him in bewilderment, Li Ze kindly reminded him:
"Remember to stick it closer next time, so I don't have to be fancy!"

Arthur is completely speechless, if you stick too close, you will be passed by with one step...

When the team's inside line was inaccurate, Michael Conley from the outside line stepped forward first, using Randolph's big body to cover, get rid of Li Ze's entanglement, and made a two-point emergency stop jump shot.

"Shua..." The two-pointer was hit steadily.
