The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 235 Physical Gap?
On May 5, Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, saw the news on the discussion group and couldn't help feeling sour.
The players union has not yet been able to reach a new labor agreement with the NBA, and there is a high probability that it will face a suspension next season. However, there are many gossips that Time Warner will buy the local broadcasting rights of the Lakers for the next 20 years.
Presti didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this would definitely be a big contract, and after getting this broadcast contract, the market value of the Lakers team would skyrocket again
Considering that the local broadcasting of Fox Sports currently brings the Lakers an annual income of more than 1000 million per dollar, after the new contract is signed, the Lakers' broadcasting income may exceed [-] million!
acid!Very sour!
Presti is almost possessed by lemon essence.
You must know that this season, the Thunder swept away the defending champions. As a result, so far, apart from the steady increase in the team's peripheral income, the local broadcast contract is still useless.
Originally, Presti thought that after signing with Li Ze, the team would receive various sponsorships from Chinese companies like the Houston Rockets, and the advertising costs would keep rising, but the ruthless reality slapped him again.
Tianchao's companies are not brainless Kaizi. Li Ze's domestic attention has exploded. Of course, many companies have considered coming to the Ford Center to advertise. As a result, after a field inspection, everyone slapped their butts and left.
With a population of more than 30, it is not as good as Tieling, a big city. It is really stupid and rich to come here to advertise and expand overseas business.
What's more, you don't even have a local broadcast, and you come here to advertise, purely to give money!
Considering Li Ze's age and his current rookie contract, many Chinese media firmly believe that sooner or later the big city teams will take action against Li Ze!
Business owners can wait a year or two at most, and then change to a big city before advertising. That will be the most cost-effective, and the money will be spent wisely.
Oklahoma City is not Houston after all, no matter how enthusiastic the fans are, it can’t change the local demographic structure
"Kayce is really an amazing talent. Last night's game was really thrilling. If the big score is really 1:3 behind, we will stop in the Western Conference Finals this season."
"This year we still have a first-round pick. Maybe we should continue to add a big player, preferably one who can shoot three-pointers. Kayce's ability to control the ball is also better. It is best to sign a player like Nowitzki. player."
"Big men are still in demand. Now players who specialize in defense around two meters are not easy to sign. Many teams are hoarding such swingmen."
Presti heard the discussion of the staff, and quickly adjusted his mentality. The playoffs are going to be played, and the draft must make reasonable supplements. This is also the benefit of being in a small ball market. He is in charge, and has no right to say.
"Guys, get ready at noon. We're going to welcome the lads back home. Tomorrow night's game must not be missed. The arrangement of the venue must be prepared in advance, and fan activities must be reported in advance!"
"There are more fans picking up the airport today than ever before. I don't want to get a call from the city hall. It's time to go! Let's go to the airport early!"
Presti greeted the staff of the team, and seeing everyone with smiles on their faces, he silently thought:
"It would be great if the population of Oklahoma City could be more. Such a good result is definitely worthy of a big contract for local broadcasting."
On the night of May 5th, G24 of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started.
Everyone in the Bulls naturally knows that once they fall behind by a big score of 1:3, there is a high probability that they will not be able to make a comeback, so this game is particularly fierce.
Derrick Rose entered the Mamba mode after the opening game. The whole game was full of aggressiveness. The Bulls once saw the hope of victory, but the offense was cut off in the fourth quarter, and the score was tied by the Heat again. The two sides entered overtime game.
Derek Rose Bang Bang hit the iron in overtime, and the Big Three of the Heat played all of them. James and Wade scored 6 points, and Bosh also scored 4 points. At 8:16 in overtime, the Heat finally Easy to seal the victory.
At 93:101, after a bitter overtime, the Heat won the game. The series reached 3:1. With two match points in hand, the Heat basically secured a place in the finals.
德里克-罗斯本场比赛27中8,三分球9中1,命中率不足三成,拿到了23分3篮板6助攻2抢断7失误,整体表现彻底拉垮。
The media reporters in Amelia were completely speechless. Boozer scored 20 points, and Luol Deng also scored 20 points. The Bulls' role players played well. In this case, the Bulls still lost. It can only show that the boss of the team can't do it.
Many people compared Li Ze's performance with Rose's, and finally came to a conclusion:
All those who voted for Li Ze knew football, the youngest mvp in history!
勒布朗-詹姆斯本场比赛26中11,拿到了36分6篮板6助攻2抢断2盖帽5失误,波什拿到22分,韦德拿到14分,对于三巨头这样的表现,不少球评人们简单点评:
"The Heat's Big Three are just that, not as good as the Thunder's trio!"
当然如果从数据上来说,g4的杜兰特表现的也十分出色,19中10,其中三分球5中2,罚球8中8,拿到了30分7篮板2助攻2失误1抢断,这样的表现足以媲美詹姆斯了。
龟龟虽然15中5,但罚球10中10,20分5篮板7助攻2失误整体上也表现的非常不错,雷霆队三人组确实在数据上碾压了热火队三巨头。
Amelia's media reporters took advantage of the end of the Heat's game and began to frantically discuss the strength of the Big Three of the Thunder and the Heat.
In terms of topicality, everyone is still looking forward to the meeting between the two teams in the finals. When the time comes, the attention report will be ah!
At his home in Oklahoma City, Li Ze also watched the game. The fan event in the afternoon really allowed him to meet the enthusiastic Oklahoma City fans again. However, since the series is not over yet, he simply celebrated in the end.
"A pretentious showman likes to rub the heat! I didn't like her the first time we met!"
Hearing the voice of Britney complaining on the computer, Li Ze came back to his senses, and seeing the blond sweet girl's angry appearance, he felt a little amused, but on the surface, of course he had to say something:
"She just likes to be noticed. I remember that when we first got together that year, didn't you and Lily chat very happily?"
The blond sweet girl on the screen heard Li Ze's voice, and immediately spoke ill of him:
"Actors look down on my friend! I only found out about this later. Looking at the little followers around her, none of them are prettier than her. No wonder she chose to enter Hollywood. She is a natural actress!"
"Don't be subjective, Alex is also an actor, Kayce, is there a chance for me to meet this big star?"
Seeing Annie on the computer screen looking at him with a half-smile, Li Ze felt a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject:
"When you return to Los Angeles during the offseason, everyone can get to know each other when they have a chance. How long will you stay in Vienna? Why didn't I know that the UCLA Department of Music still has research activities?"
"You have been in school for less than two years, and you haven't graduated yet. Of course you don't understand these things. You should stay until the end of this month. Do you still want to graduate at UCLA?"
Hearing Annie's words, even though Li Ze had a thick skin, he couldn't help but feel hot. Every time he was with the girls, he would just focus on practicing the ball and put aside his study.
"During this offseason, I will definitely study hard!"
"Haha, I bet you'll forget that soon."
When Li Ze saw the blonde sweet girl hugging Annie and laughing, he was so angry that he had to confront her when he came back. The three chatted until midnight before ending the video call.
Li Ze, who was lying on the big bed, took out his mobile phone, and liked the group photo sent by Lily Collins who had just opened his ins.
I replied to Shakira's private message on Facebook, briefly commented on Alexandra's tweet just now, and finally posted a photo on ins, wishing Taylor who is having a concert!
After a lot of work, today's watering task is completely over. The forests need to be taken care of. As a hard-working gardener, Li Ze must treat every aspect of it equally, but when he thinks about the arrangements for the offseason, he can't help feeling a little scratching head:
"Don't crash the car, or it will easily cause a fire."
On the night of May 5th, the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals officially started.
The heat of this game was immediately full, especially the crazy performance of Li Ze and Nowitzki in the last game, which made many Amerika media reporters and football critics look forward to tonight's game.
At the home team’s press conference before the game, Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant attended at the same time, and all three were in a good mood. Therefore, facing the questions from the media reporters, the official rhetoric does not require money to be sent out. The Oklahoma City media They all smiled.
Although the media reporters in Dallas were in a bad mood, they left their own territory and had no chance to do anything, so they could only sulk secretly.
Everyone in the Thunder team who returned to Oklahoma City looked relaxed, but everyone in the Mavericks team who played away in the Tianwangshan battle looked dignified.
The game was only one day away, and the last game was so fierce. The physical condition of the veterans was not ideal. In the locker room of the visiting team before the game, the head coach of Carlisle stood in the middle of the room and sent out thick chicken soup again:
"Tonight's game is a contest of willpower. No one is more eager to win the championship than us. We have rich game experience. We always believe in each other and forget all the previous games. Now the big score is still 0:0."
"Win this game, we'll be back in Dallas, and we'll have the opportunity to close out the series on our home court and advance to the Finals in front of 2 Dallas fans."
"Protect every rebound, the defense of the big players must go out, show our energy, believe in your teammates, we will win tonight!"
"Oh!"
Everyone from the Mavericks team came to the center of the room, huddled together, and roared. Nowitzki has always looked serious. He played well in the last game, but failed to lead the team to win the game, which also made him a little frustrated.
However, when Nowitzki saw the teammates around him showing a strong desire to win, the frustration of the last loss was immediately left behind by him.
As the head coach said, the two sides are still 0:0, and he must lead the team to win.
The last game also consumed a lot of Jason Kidd. With less than two days of rest, the 38-year-old Kidd’s physical condition has not recovered to the best condition at all, but in order to reach the finals, the veteran Only have teeth to persist.
The head coach of Carlisle saw the expressions of the players and prayed silently in his heart:
"We must continue the previous feeling, and hope the game goes well."
Ford Center Arena, the atmosphere on the scene tonight was extremely hot, perhaps influenced by Li Ze's outstanding performance, many fans spontaneously brought whiteboards with various cheering slogans written on them.
This is also the advantage of the small football market. The fans are very loyal. In addition, there are not many entertainment activities in the city, so watching football has become the biggest pastime for local residents.
When the Thunder team came out, the Oklahoma City fans wearing dark blue cheering t-shirts kept shouting. Playing the Tianwangshan battle at home will be a huge bonus to the team.
Feeling the fiery atmosphere of the scene, Li Ze rushed to the scene with a smile on his face and kept waving. This action caused many fans to shout excitedly. The popularity of Oklahoma City with golden thighs has exploded!
After all the players from both sides appeared on the field, the DJ on the scene directly played Li Ze's "creation" "radioactive". Although this single was released for half a year, it has always been firmly on the bulletin board, and even the sales of the album are also on the rise. section climbed.
"wele to the he new age!"
"woah, woah, i'm radioactive, radioactive!"
The rhythmic music made the atmosphere more lively. In fact, this scene is also very interesting. Most of the Mavericks are veterans, so the DJ in the American Airlines Center Arena played classic old songs.
The core of the Thunder team is young people in their early 20s. This song "radioactive" is very suitable for the occasion. Welcome to a new era!
In ESPN's on-site commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy saw the Oklahoma City fans screaming along with the music, and said with emotion:
"Perhaps we are witnessing the rise of the new generation of basketball. After less than two days of rest, this is a huge test for the Mavericks' physical fitness."
Mark Jackson also strongly agreed with his old partner, adding immediately:
"After the decline in physical fitness, the Mavericks' outside shooting may also have problems. If they cannot protect the rebound, the chain reaction will be a crazy counterattack by the Thunder. The situation in the fourth quarter of the last game is likely to continue to repeat itself."
"Tonight should be the most critical game in the series. The two sides have not changed the starting content. We can also look forward to the tactical adjustments of the two sides!"
The game is about to start, the commentator Mike Breen briefly introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, and then the three briefly reviewed the performance of the two teams in the previous game.
Coach Brooks finally called the players together. This time he did not place too much emphasis on defensive strategies and offensive options, but directly said loudly:
"Trust me, guys! The opponent is definitely more tired than us, follow the game plan made before the game, don't let every rebound easily, remember, we are playing in Oklahoma City tonight, let's go!"
Everyone in the Thunder team roared with serious expressions. This game cannot help everyone to relax. The historical data can explain many problems. If they win the battle of Tianwangshan, the team will have an 8% chance of winning this round of the series.
No one wants to gamble the remaining 2%, winning tonight's game can almost announce that one foot has set foot on the floor of the finals!
The Ford Center arena was full of noise. The Oklahoma City fans stood up to cheer for the home team. Players from the two teams came to the center of the field with solemn expressions. The referee signaled Yin Baka and Tyson Chandler to stand in the middle circle.
"okc! okc! okc!"
"Snapped!"
Tyson Chandler relied on his height advantage to successfully jump to the ball for the Mavericks. After Kidd got the ball, he threw the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Marion received the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Nowitzki immediately came to the left block position and asked for the ball with his back, stuck Yin Baka firmly behind him, and then immediately received a lob pass from Marion.
After completing the pass, Marion clung to Nowitzki and quickly slid to the baseline to drive away the defense. Everyone on the Mavericks cleared one side of their positions.
As soon as Yinbaka saw Nowitzki catch the ball, his heart tightened. In this series, he was completely broken by the opponent. He lowered his defensive focus and kept a close eye on Nowitzki's movements.
After a tentative step, he took the ball and dangled it, and then quickly released the ball with his hands. Nowitzki dribbled two steps to the upper line, then turned around and joined the ball, facing Yin Baka's block, and shot a fallback jumper.
"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately booed loudly. They had seen enough of such a scene.
The super power forward almost devoured the Thunder's interior in this round of the series, and many Oklahoma City fans are praying that the Mavericks' outside shooting percentage will drop.
Yin Baka was numb. He felt that his defense seemed useless. Even if he guessed the opponent's offensive intention, he still couldn't restrain the opponent in the face of an exaggerated fadeaway jumper.
Li Ze first patted Yin Baka on the back to remind him to concentrate, then came to the bottom line to serve, and took the opportunity to comfort him loudly:
"Serge, the defense is very good, don't care about the opponent's shooting percentage, continue to maintain this defense."
Players are not NPCs after all. Once the matchup is completely at a disadvantage, it is inevitable that they will feel frustrated, and sometimes they will doubt life.
DeShaun Stevenson saw Li Ze turn his back to ask for the ball in the left block again, and felt a little nervous. He tried to half-circle the front defense several times but still couldn't succeed. Seeing Li Ze successfully catch the ball, he immediately took precautions offline.
At the same time, Jason Kidd at the top of the arc immediately gave up on the turtle and directly double-teamed Li Ze.
After catching the ball, Li Ze handled the ball very quickly. He released the ball with his right hand. After hitting it, he saw Kidd come to the upper line to double-team. With his left foot as the axis, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball back sharply, and his body followed. Twist.
DeShaun Stephenson's defensive center of gravity immediately shifted to the bottom line, and Kidd, who was on the line, saw Li Ze's movement and subconsciously rushed over.
Successfully tricking the defensive center of gravity of the two, Li Ze quickly twisted his body forward, then directly joined the ball, tapped his right foot twice, and directly broke through the double-teaming of the two with a big stride.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze easily came to the bottom left of the basket without too much interference. He lightly picked up the basket with his right hand and sent the ball directly to the basket.
"Wonderful step up and down! Successfully fooled Kidd and Stevenson's defense, is there any technique that Kayce doesn't know?"
Mark Jackson saw Li Ze complete the goal, so he started blowing directly without going through the procedure. In these few games, he was completely convinced by Li Ze's performance
DeShaun Stevenson is completely numb. He was brutally abused by Li Ze in the last game. In this round of the series, he can't even talk trash with Li Ze. He has been blown away and can't act x
Jason Kidd saw the tactical gesture made by the head coach of Carlisle, and immediately greeted his teammates briefly, indicating that he would stick to the double-team tactic. After receiving the baseline ball from Tyson Chandler, Kidd slowly dribbled Half time.
Drawing lessons from the previous game, the Mavericks' offense began to control the clock, with Tyson Chandler standing near the bottom left of the rim in the paint and Nowitzki up to the three-point line.
Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, and Sean Marion on the outside began to cooperate with Nowitzki, passing the ball slowly on the outside, with about 10 seconds left in the attack time.
Kidd caught the ball again at the top of the arc, noticed that Marion, with the help of Nowitzki's screen, suddenly cut into the paint without the ball, and immediately sent a through ball accurately.
The latter received the pass, and Durant, who was defending, was a step slower in defense, so Perkins at the basket could only help defend.
Facing the rotating defense, Marion calmly distributed the ball to Tyson Chandler under the basket. After receiving the pass, he exploded instantly and dunked with both hands under the basket!
"boom!"
Tyson Chandler, who successfully dunked, screamed excitedly. This performance caused the Oklahoma City fans to boo wildly.
The offensive tactics of the Mavericks became more conservative, which surprised Li Ze a little. When there was an opportunity on the outside, the opponent did not shoot blindly, but used Nowitzki's restraining effect to successfully cut into the inside.
Reminiscent of the Mavericks' pressure-paced style of play, Li Ze guessed that there must be a problem with the opponent's physical condition, and the problem should not be small.
When the Thunder team was attacking, Li Ze directly gave Guigui an offensive gesture. Since they have a physical advantage, the Thunder team should play more perimeter cuts and simple breakthroughs to consume the opponent's physical energy. .
Coach Carlisle, who was on the sidelines, felt very helpless when he saw that the Thunder's offense had turned into two interior laners all moving up, and the three outside laners were away from the three-point line hand in hand. It makes this tactic difficult to defend.
Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant continuously interspersed and ran around Yin Baka and Perkins, which forced the Mavericks' outside line to follow up.
Durant just gave the ball to Perkins at the elbow to the right of the free throw line, and then cut directly to take away the defense.
And Li Ze, who went around in a circle, came outside the three-point line again, received Perkins' cover, and immediately raised his eyebrows at the opponent, indicating that there was no need for a pick-and-roll.
Deshaun Stevenson saw Li Ze catch the ball, while staring at Li Ze's movements, he also paid attention to Perkins' movements.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's defense hesitated, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity. After dribbling the ball under his crotch, his body swayed to the front left.
The moment DeShawn Stevenson's defensive center of gravity moved to the left, Li Ze immediately shifted his left hand sharply in front of his body, then exerted force under his feet, and accelerated with his right hand holding the ball at full speed.
The wonderful shaking caused the Oklahoma City fans to scream, and Deshaun Stevenson's scalp was numb. He didn't have time to slide to the right, so he could only watch Li Ze cut in from the right flank.
Tyson Chandler has been paying attention to Li Ze's movements, noticing that his teammates' defense is out of position, and immediately assists in the defense. Li Ze, who is on the move, notices that Chandler has pounced on him, quickly turns around, and cuts to the basket.
Tyson Chandler raised his hands high and covered Li Ze firmly with his body. He thought the defense had been successful, but found that Li Ze who broke through made a false pass, and the ball flew directly to Parkin who cut into the basket. s.
"kayside! oh! nice pass!"
The commentator Mike Brin immediately exclaimed when he saw Li Ze send an exquisite pass.
Tyson Chandler had no choice but to make up for the second defense, but Perkins carried him away with his body, and he made a layup under the basket!
Perkins, who successfully ate the pie, also looked very excited, put on that expression that was not pleasing to anyone, and tilted his mouth provocatively to beat Chandler's chest in celebration, and the Oklahoma City fans in the front row also booed and cheered.
"Shet!"
Seeing Perkins' arrogance, Chandler couldn't help yelling, seeing DeShawn Stevenson raise his hand to signal, he could only suppress his anger.
"The Mavericks' outside defensive strength seems to have declined. Considering the factors of the away game, this is understandable, but if the subsequent games continue to allow Kayce such an easy breakthrough, it will enter the rhythm of the Thunder."
Jeff Van Gundy briefly commented on the performance of the two teams in the opening game, and Mark Jackson also pointed out the problems of the Mavericks:
"Different from the first 4 games, perhaps due to physical problems, the Mavericks' offensive rhythm slowed down after the opening. Let's see if Coach Carlisle will make adjustments in the next few minutes."
The Mavericks slowed down and hit the ball more inside, still using Nowitzki's containment force, Marion and Tyson Chandler got more shots.
But the two-pointer obviously couldn't kill the Thunder, and the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. With 1 minutes and 4 seconds left in the first quarter, the head coach of Carlisle took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Jason Terry came off the bench and replaced DeShawns Stevenson, while Peja replaced Sean Marion. Such a substitution was obviously to strengthen the offense.
When the Mavericks were attacking, Jason Terry, who had just entered the field, received a hand-off pass from Nowitzki, briefly got rid of Li Ze's defense, took a big step, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
The long rebound bounced out and fell right into the hands of Guigui. The Thunder team immediately launched a transition attack. Seeing that Li Ze had already crossed the half court, Guigui made the ball directly.
Outside the three-point line and receiving a pass from the flank, Li Ze first dribbled the ball with his left hand behind his back, out of the way of Jason Terry who wanted to block, then held the ball with his right hand, accelerated with all his strength, and went straight into the inside.
Nowitzki, who had just returned to defense, saw Li Ze break through easily, and immediately stepped forward to delay.
Sensing that Li Ze was about to break through his defense, Nowitzki just wanted to make a tactical foul to destroy the attack, but the moment he pressed his arm down, he found that Li Ze was leaning against him and throwing a shot with his left hand
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
When the goal whistle sounded, Nowitzki immediately explained to the referee with an innocent face:
"Hey sir! I fouled early! Goal invalid!"
It's a pity that the referee did not change the verdict after a brief explanation, and still signaled that the goal was valid. After the goal, Li Ze looked calm, stood under the basket pretending to be X, pulled his jersey, and posed several poses in a row
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene burst into cheers when they saw Li Ze's ruthless appearance.
After high-fiving his teammates, Li Ze stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and scored the free throw steadily.
The scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately. Coach Brooks seemed to feel that there was not much pressure on the field. With 1 minutes and 2 seconds left in the first quarter, he replaced Li Ze ahead of schedule and Sefolosha came on as a substitute.
In the last 2 minutes, the two teams played tepidly. After the Mavericks tried an outside shot, they continued to hit the ball inside.
Durant faced Peja's defense with ease. At the end of the first quarter, he hit a long two-pointer again.
At 29:27, without the spark hitting the earth in the previous game, the battle of Tianwangshan seemed a bit flat, and the Thunder successfully led by 2 points in the first quarter.
"The first quarter is not the Mavericks' favorite offensive rhythm. Of course, I don't know the specific situation of the team, but judging from the performance of the players on the field, the Mavericks lack vitality."
Mark Jackson commented on the performance of the Mavericks in the first quarter. Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said immediately:
"The oppressiveness of the perimeter defense has decreased, which made it very easy for the Thunder to play offensively in the first quarter, and the Thunder's three-man team performed very efficiently."
“kayce5中3拿到7分,杜兰特5中3拿到8分,威斯布鲁克4中2拿到6分,尹巴卡和帕金斯各拿4分,首发5人全部得分,这样的场景在前4场比赛很难看到。”
The commentator Mike Breen heard the comments of the two and added:
"The shooting percentages of both teams have declined in this game. The Thunder tried three three-pointers and all of them were ironed. The Mavericks also made 2 for 0 shots from outside the three-point line. Let's see what happens in the second quarter of the two sides. Performance!"
After the start of the second quarter, the same as the previous four games, the two teams have a regular rotation. The Mavericks are still in the double-short backcourt, while the Thunder team Li Ze continues to play at the No. 2 position. The series has played 4 games. There are no more secrets.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking. After Li Ze received the ball from the baseline, he dribbled the ball slowly, and immediately made offensive gestures to his teammates after halftime.
Unlike the tactics of the previous few games, both Yinbaka and Collison sank to the bottom line, while Daiquan Cook and Sefoloza wandered on the two wings and the bottom corner.
The entire top of the arc was almost entirely reserved for Li Ze. When Barea saw this situation, his heart tightened. It was obvious that Li Ze wanted to eat him alone.
Although Barea had been prepared for a long time, after Li Ze dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously outside the three-point line, the sudden acceleration of the ball in his right hand still made it difficult for the small guard to parry.
The difference in size made it very difficult for Barea to defend. Li Ze caught half of his body and ran over to the free throw line. Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, shaking Barea staggeringly.
Seeing that Li Ze was swaying the ball, Barea didn't care to adjust the center of gravity of the defense.
What he was waiting for was this moment. Facing the opponent's defense, Li Ze took off and forced a jump shot while hanging on to Barea.
"squeak!"
"Shh!"
Just as the referee blew the whistle, huge cheers erupted in the Ford Center Arena. After Li Ze scored the goal, he smiled lightly at Barea and then clenched his fists in celebration!
Standing on the free throw line, Li Ze scored the ball steadily and then retreated immediately.
Looking at Li Ze's back, Barea was a bit overwhelmed. In the last game, Li Ze scored crazy points on him, but tonight he just played for me, and the opponent made a 2+1. The anger in his heart has been somewhat controlled Can't stop.
When the Mavericks attacked, Jason Terry and Barea began to pass the ball continuously on the outside. With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Barea received the ball at the top of the arc.
Using Nowitzki's cover, he successfully got rid of Li Ze's defense, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and successfully tricked Collison with a sudden passing feint while moving, and then immediately threw a shot with his left hand.
After completing the attack, Barea breathed a sigh of relief, but found a big hand directly on the ball in the next second!
"Snapped!"
Li Ze, who was chasing with all his strength, immediately sent out a peg board cap at the moment the opponent completed the shot. The ball was slapped vigorously and hit the backboard directly. After rebounding, Collison under the basket successfully controlled the ball.
Immediately after giving the ball to Li Ze, the Thunder launched a conversion attack again, noticing that Sefolosha rushed to the front, quickly passed the ball to the opponent, and then accelerated with all his strength, rushing across the opponent's half.
The Mavericks retreated quickly, Sefolosha saw that there was no chance of a fast break, and returned the ball to Li Ze again, and Collison stood firmly on the three-point line.
When Barea saw that Li Ze wanted to perform a pick-and-roll, he immediately chose to stick to the defense and wanted to squeeze through the screen. Li Zeyang pretended to break through on the right side, dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and then quickly turned around with the ball in his left hand.
Sticking to Collison's screen, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. Heywood had no choice but to delay again.
Heywood pulled subconsciously, but saw Li Ze tilted his body and completed the projectile with his left hand
"squeak!"
"Shh!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in. Li Ze, who lost his center of gravity, roared passionately, lying on the floor and punching continuously to celebrate!The Oklahoma City fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.
"This is an incredible performance! Excellent body coordination, soft touch, kayce's left hand can still complete the attack!"
In the ESPN commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy has turned into Li Ze, and everyone on the Mavericks on the court saw Li Ze's performance completely breaking the defense:
"How to defend"
The players union has not yet been able to reach a new labor agreement with the NBA, and there is a high probability that it will face a suspension next season. However, there are many gossips that Time Warner will buy the local broadcasting rights of the Lakers for the next 20 years.
Presti didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this would definitely be a big contract, and after getting this broadcast contract, the market value of the Lakers team would skyrocket again
Considering that the local broadcasting of Fox Sports currently brings the Lakers an annual income of more than 1000 million per dollar, after the new contract is signed, the Lakers' broadcasting income may exceed [-] million!
acid!Very sour!
Presti is almost possessed by lemon essence.
You must know that this season, the Thunder swept away the defending champions. As a result, so far, apart from the steady increase in the team's peripheral income, the local broadcast contract is still useless.
Originally, Presti thought that after signing with Li Ze, the team would receive various sponsorships from Chinese companies like the Houston Rockets, and the advertising costs would keep rising, but the ruthless reality slapped him again.
Tianchao's companies are not brainless Kaizi. Li Ze's domestic attention has exploded. Of course, many companies have considered coming to the Ford Center to advertise. As a result, after a field inspection, everyone slapped their butts and left.
With a population of more than 30, it is not as good as Tieling, a big city. It is really stupid and rich to come here to advertise and expand overseas business.
What's more, you don't even have a local broadcast, and you come here to advertise, purely to give money!
Considering Li Ze's age and his current rookie contract, many Chinese media firmly believe that sooner or later the big city teams will take action against Li Ze!
Business owners can wait a year or two at most, and then change to a big city before advertising. That will be the most cost-effective, and the money will be spent wisely.
Oklahoma City is not Houston after all, no matter how enthusiastic the fans are, it can’t change the local demographic structure
"Kayce is really an amazing talent. Last night's game was really thrilling. If the big score is really 1:3 behind, we will stop in the Western Conference Finals this season."
"This year we still have a first-round pick. Maybe we should continue to add a big player, preferably one who can shoot three-pointers. Kayce's ability to control the ball is also better. It is best to sign a player like Nowitzki. player."
"Big men are still in demand. Now players who specialize in defense around two meters are not easy to sign. Many teams are hoarding such swingmen."
Presti heard the discussion of the staff, and quickly adjusted his mentality. The playoffs are going to be played, and the draft must make reasonable supplements. This is also the benefit of being in a small ball market. He is in charge, and has no right to say.
"Guys, get ready at noon. We're going to welcome the lads back home. Tomorrow night's game must not be missed. The arrangement of the venue must be prepared in advance, and fan activities must be reported in advance!"
"There are more fans picking up the airport today than ever before. I don't want to get a call from the city hall. It's time to go! Let's go to the airport early!"
Presti greeted the staff of the team, and seeing everyone with smiles on their faces, he silently thought:
"It would be great if the population of Oklahoma City could be more. Such a good result is definitely worthy of a big contract for local broadcasting."
On the night of May 5th, G24 of the Eastern Conference Finals officially started.
Everyone in the Bulls naturally knows that once they fall behind by a big score of 1:3, there is a high probability that they will not be able to make a comeback, so this game is particularly fierce.
Derrick Rose entered the Mamba mode after the opening game. The whole game was full of aggressiveness. The Bulls once saw the hope of victory, but the offense was cut off in the fourth quarter, and the score was tied by the Heat again. The two sides entered overtime game.
Derek Rose Bang Bang hit the iron in overtime, and the Big Three of the Heat played all of them. James and Wade scored 6 points, and Bosh also scored 4 points. At 8:16 in overtime, the Heat finally Easy to seal the victory.
At 93:101, after a bitter overtime, the Heat won the game. The series reached 3:1. With two match points in hand, the Heat basically secured a place in the finals.
德里克-罗斯本场比赛27中8,三分球9中1,命中率不足三成,拿到了23分3篮板6助攻2抢断7失误,整体表现彻底拉垮。
The media reporters in Amelia were completely speechless. Boozer scored 20 points, and Luol Deng also scored 20 points. The Bulls' role players played well. In this case, the Bulls still lost. It can only show that the boss of the team can't do it.
Many people compared Li Ze's performance with Rose's, and finally came to a conclusion:
All those who voted for Li Ze knew football, the youngest mvp in history!
勒布朗-詹姆斯本场比赛26中11,拿到了36分6篮板6助攻2抢断2盖帽5失误,波什拿到22分,韦德拿到14分,对于三巨头这样的表现,不少球评人们简单点评:
"The Heat's Big Three are just that, not as good as the Thunder's trio!"
当然如果从数据上来说,g4的杜兰特表现的也十分出色,19中10,其中三分球5中2,罚球8中8,拿到了30分7篮板2助攻2失误1抢断,这样的表现足以媲美詹姆斯了。
龟龟虽然15中5,但罚球10中10,20分5篮板7助攻2失误整体上也表现的非常不错,雷霆队三人组确实在数据上碾压了热火队三巨头。
Amelia's media reporters took advantage of the end of the Heat's game and began to frantically discuss the strength of the Big Three of the Thunder and the Heat.
In terms of topicality, everyone is still looking forward to the meeting between the two teams in the finals. When the time comes, the attention report will be ah!
At his home in Oklahoma City, Li Ze also watched the game. The fan event in the afternoon really allowed him to meet the enthusiastic Oklahoma City fans again. However, since the series is not over yet, he simply celebrated in the end.
"A pretentious showman likes to rub the heat! I didn't like her the first time we met!"
Hearing the voice of Britney complaining on the computer, Li Ze came back to his senses, and seeing the blond sweet girl's angry appearance, he felt a little amused, but on the surface, of course he had to say something:
"She just likes to be noticed. I remember that when we first got together that year, didn't you and Lily chat very happily?"
The blond sweet girl on the screen heard Li Ze's voice, and immediately spoke ill of him:
"Actors look down on my friend! I only found out about this later. Looking at the little followers around her, none of them are prettier than her. No wonder she chose to enter Hollywood. She is a natural actress!"
"Don't be subjective, Alex is also an actor, Kayce, is there a chance for me to meet this big star?"
Seeing Annie on the computer screen looking at him with a half-smile, Li Ze felt a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject:
"When you return to Los Angeles during the offseason, everyone can get to know each other when they have a chance. How long will you stay in Vienna? Why didn't I know that the UCLA Department of Music still has research activities?"
"You have been in school for less than two years, and you haven't graduated yet. Of course you don't understand these things. You should stay until the end of this month. Do you still want to graduate at UCLA?"
Hearing Annie's words, even though Li Ze had a thick skin, he couldn't help but feel hot. Every time he was with the girls, he would just focus on practicing the ball and put aside his study.
"During this offseason, I will definitely study hard!"
"Haha, I bet you'll forget that soon."
When Li Ze saw the blonde sweet girl hugging Annie and laughing, he was so angry that he had to confront her when he came back. The three chatted until midnight before ending the video call.
Li Ze, who was lying on the big bed, took out his mobile phone, and liked the group photo sent by Lily Collins who had just opened his ins.
I replied to Shakira's private message on Facebook, briefly commented on Alexandra's tweet just now, and finally posted a photo on ins, wishing Taylor who is having a concert!
After a lot of work, today's watering task is completely over. The forests need to be taken care of. As a hard-working gardener, Li Ze must treat every aspect of it equally, but when he thinks about the arrangements for the offseason, he can't help feeling a little scratching head:
"Don't crash the car, or it will easily cause a fire."
On the night of May 5th, the battle of Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals officially started.
The heat of this game was immediately full, especially the crazy performance of Li Ze and Nowitzki in the last game, which made many Amerika media reporters and football critics look forward to tonight's game.
At the home team’s press conference before the game, Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant attended at the same time, and all three were in a good mood. Therefore, facing the questions from the media reporters, the official rhetoric does not require money to be sent out. The Oklahoma City media They all smiled.
Although the media reporters in Dallas were in a bad mood, they left their own territory and had no chance to do anything, so they could only sulk secretly.
Everyone in the Thunder team who returned to Oklahoma City looked relaxed, but everyone in the Mavericks team who played away in the Tianwangshan battle looked dignified.
The game was only one day away, and the last game was so fierce. The physical condition of the veterans was not ideal. In the locker room of the visiting team before the game, the head coach of Carlisle stood in the middle of the room and sent out thick chicken soup again:
"Tonight's game is a contest of willpower. No one is more eager to win the championship than us. We have rich game experience. We always believe in each other and forget all the previous games. Now the big score is still 0:0."
"Win this game, we'll be back in Dallas, and we'll have the opportunity to close out the series on our home court and advance to the Finals in front of 2 Dallas fans."
"Protect every rebound, the defense of the big players must go out, show our energy, believe in your teammates, we will win tonight!"
"Oh!"
Everyone from the Mavericks team came to the center of the room, huddled together, and roared. Nowitzki has always looked serious. He played well in the last game, but failed to lead the team to win the game, which also made him a little frustrated.
However, when Nowitzki saw the teammates around him showing a strong desire to win, the frustration of the last loss was immediately left behind by him.
As the head coach said, the two sides are still 0:0, and he must lead the team to win.
The last game also consumed a lot of Jason Kidd. With less than two days of rest, the 38-year-old Kidd’s physical condition has not recovered to the best condition at all, but in order to reach the finals, the veteran Only have teeth to persist.
The head coach of Carlisle saw the expressions of the players and prayed silently in his heart:
"We must continue the previous feeling, and hope the game goes well."
Ford Center Arena, the atmosphere on the scene tonight was extremely hot, perhaps influenced by Li Ze's outstanding performance, many fans spontaneously brought whiteboards with various cheering slogans written on them.
This is also the advantage of the small football market. The fans are very loyal. In addition, there are not many entertainment activities in the city, so watching football has become the biggest pastime for local residents.
When the Thunder team came out, the Oklahoma City fans wearing dark blue cheering t-shirts kept shouting. Playing the Tianwangshan battle at home will be a huge bonus to the team.
Feeling the fiery atmosphere of the scene, Li Ze rushed to the scene with a smile on his face and kept waving. This action caused many fans to shout excitedly. The popularity of Oklahoma City with golden thighs has exploded!
After all the players from both sides appeared on the field, the DJ on the scene directly played Li Ze's "creation" "radioactive". Although this single was released for half a year, it has always been firmly on the bulletin board, and even the sales of the album are also on the rise. section climbed.
"wele to the he new age!"
"woah, woah, i'm radioactive, radioactive!"
The rhythmic music made the atmosphere more lively. In fact, this scene is also very interesting. Most of the Mavericks are veterans, so the DJ in the American Airlines Center Arena played classic old songs.
The core of the Thunder team is young people in their early 20s. This song "radioactive" is very suitable for the occasion. Welcome to a new era!
In ESPN's on-site commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy saw the Oklahoma City fans screaming along with the music, and said with emotion:
"Perhaps we are witnessing the rise of the new generation of basketball. After less than two days of rest, this is a huge test for the Mavericks' physical fitness."
Mark Jackson also strongly agreed with his old partner, adding immediately:
"After the decline in physical fitness, the Mavericks' outside shooting may also have problems. If they cannot protect the rebound, the chain reaction will be a crazy counterattack by the Thunder. The situation in the fourth quarter of the last game is likely to continue to repeat itself."
"Tonight should be the most critical game in the series. The two sides have not changed the starting content. We can also look forward to the tactical adjustments of the two sides!"
The game is about to start, the commentator Mike Breen briefly introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, and then the three briefly reviewed the performance of the two teams in the previous game.
Coach Brooks finally called the players together. This time he did not place too much emphasis on defensive strategies and offensive options, but directly said loudly:
"Trust me, guys! The opponent is definitely more tired than us, follow the game plan made before the game, don't let every rebound easily, remember, we are playing in Oklahoma City tonight, let's go!"
Everyone in the Thunder team roared with serious expressions. This game cannot help everyone to relax. The historical data can explain many problems. If they win the battle of Tianwangshan, the team will have an 8% chance of winning this round of the series.
No one wants to gamble the remaining 2%, winning tonight's game can almost announce that one foot has set foot on the floor of the finals!
The Ford Center arena was full of noise. The Oklahoma City fans stood up to cheer for the home team. Players from the two teams came to the center of the field with solemn expressions. The referee signaled Yin Baka and Tyson Chandler to stand in the middle circle.
"okc! okc! okc!"
"Snapped!"
Tyson Chandler relied on his height advantage to successfully jump to the ball for the Mavericks. After Kidd got the ball, he threw the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Marion received the ball on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Nowitzki immediately came to the left block position and asked for the ball with his back, stuck Yin Baka firmly behind him, and then immediately received a lob pass from Marion.
After completing the pass, Marion clung to Nowitzki and quickly slid to the baseline to drive away the defense. Everyone on the Mavericks cleared one side of their positions.
As soon as Yinbaka saw Nowitzki catch the ball, his heart tightened. In this series, he was completely broken by the opponent. He lowered his defensive focus and kept a close eye on Nowitzki's movements.
After a tentative step, he took the ball and dangled it, and then quickly released the ball with his hands. Nowitzki dribbled two steps to the upper line, then turned around and joined the ball, facing Yin Baka's block, and shot a fallback jumper.
"Shua!" A steady hit in the middle distance.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately booed loudly. They had seen enough of such a scene.
The super power forward almost devoured the Thunder's interior in this round of the series, and many Oklahoma City fans are praying that the Mavericks' outside shooting percentage will drop.
Yin Baka was numb. He felt that his defense seemed useless. Even if he guessed the opponent's offensive intention, he still couldn't restrain the opponent in the face of an exaggerated fadeaway jumper.
Li Ze first patted Yin Baka on the back to remind him to concentrate, then came to the bottom line to serve, and took the opportunity to comfort him loudly:
"Serge, the defense is very good, don't care about the opponent's shooting percentage, continue to maintain this defense."
Players are not NPCs after all. Once the matchup is completely at a disadvantage, it is inevitable that they will feel frustrated, and sometimes they will doubt life.
DeShaun Stevenson saw Li Ze turn his back to ask for the ball in the left block again, and felt a little nervous. He tried to half-circle the front defense several times but still couldn't succeed. Seeing Li Ze successfully catch the ball, he immediately took precautions offline.
At the same time, Jason Kidd at the top of the arc immediately gave up on the turtle and directly double-teamed Li Ze.
After catching the ball, Li Ze handled the ball very quickly. He released the ball with his right hand. After hitting it, he saw Kidd come to the upper line to double-team. With his left foot as the axis, his right hand suddenly pulled the ball back sharply, and his body followed. Twist.
DeShaun Stephenson's defensive center of gravity immediately shifted to the bottom line, and Kidd, who was on the line, saw Li Ze's movement and subconsciously rushed over.
Successfully tricking the defensive center of gravity of the two, Li Ze quickly twisted his body forward, then directly joined the ball, tapped his right foot twice, and directly broke through the double-teaming of the two with a big stride.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Ze easily came to the bottom left of the basket without too much interference. He lightly picked up the basket with his right hand and sent the ball directly to the basket.
"Wonderful step up and down! Successfully fooled Kidd and Stevenson's defense, is there any technique that Kayce doesn't know?"
Mark Jackson saw Li Ze complete the goal, so he started blowing directly without going through the procedure. In these few games, he was completely convinced by Li Ze's performance
DeShaun Stevenson is completely numb. He was brutally abused by Li Ze in the last game. In this round of the series, he can't even talk trash with Li Ze. He has been blown away and can't act x
Jason Kidd saw the tactical gesture made by the head coach of Carlisle, and immediately greeted his teammates briefly, indicating that he would stick to the double-team tactic. After receiving the baseline ball from Tyson Chandler, Kidd slowly dribbled Half time.
Drawing lessons from the previous game, the Mavericks' offense began to control the clock, with Tyson Chandler standing near the bottom left of the rim in the paint and Nowitzki up to the three-point line.
Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, and Sean Marion on the outside began to cooperate with Nowitzki, passing the ball slowly on the outside, with about 10 seconds left in the attack time.
Kidd caught the ball again at the top of the arc, noticed that Marion, with the help of Nowitzki's screen, suddenly cut into the paint without the ball, and immediately sent a through ball accurately.
The latter received the pass, and Durant, who was defending, was a step slower in defense, so Perkins at the basket could only help defend.
Facing the rotating defense, Marion calmly distributed the ball to Tyson Chandler under the basket. After receiving the pass, he exploded instantly and dunked with both hands under the basket!
"boom!"
Tyson Chandler, who successfully dunked, screamed excitedly. This performance caused the Oklahoma City fans to boo wildly.
The offensive tactics of the Mavericks became more conservative, which surprised Li Ze a little. When there was an opportunity on the outside, the opponent did not shoot blindly, but used Nowitzki's restraining effect to successfully cut into the inside.
Reminiscent of the Mavericks' pressure-paced style of play, Li Ze guessed that there must be a problem with the opponent's physical condition, and the problem should not be small.
When the Thunder team was attacking, Li Ze directly gave Guigui an offensive gesture. Since they have a physical advantage, the Thunder team should play more perimeter cuts and simple breakthroughs to consume the opponent's physical energy. .
Coach Carlisle, who was on the sidelines, felt very helpless when he saw that the Thunder's offense had turned into two interior laners all moving up, and the three outside laners were away from the three-point line hand in hand. It makes this tactic difficult to defend.
Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant continuously interspersed and ran around Yin Baka and Perkins, which forced the Mavericks' outside line to follow up.
Durant just gave the ball to Perkins at the elbow to the right of the free throw line, and then cut directly to take away the defense.
And Li Ze, who went around in a circle, came outside the three-point line again, received Perkins' cover, and immediately raised his eyebrows at the opponent, indicating that there was no need for a pick-and-roll.
Deshaun Stevenson saw Li Ze catch the ball, while staring at Li Ze's movements, he also paid attention to Perkins' movements.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's defense hesitated, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly lowered his body's center of gravity. After dribbling the ball under his crotch, his body swayed to the front left.
The moment DeShawn Stevenson's defensive center of gravity moved to the left, Li Ze immediately shifted his left hand sharply in front of his body, then exerted force under his feet, and accelerated with his right hand holding the ball at full speed.
The wonderful shaking caused the Oklahoma City fans to scream, and Deshaun Stevenson's scalp was numb. He didn't have time to slide to the right, so he could only watch Li Ze cut in from the right flank.
Tyson Chandler has been paying attention to Li Ze's movements, noticing that his teammates' defense is out of position, and immediately assists in the defense. Li Ze, who is on the move, notices that Chandler has pounced on him, quickly turns around, and cuts to the basket.
Tyson Chandler raised his hands high and covered Li Ze firmly with his body. He thought the defense had been successful, but found that Li Ze who broke through made a false pass, and the ball flew directly to Parkin who cut into the basket. s.
"kayside! oh! nice pass!"
The commentator Mike Brin immediately exclaimed when he saw Li Ze send an exquisite pass.
Tyson Chandler had no choice but to make up for the second defense, but Perkins carried him away with his body, and he made a layup under the basket!
Perkins, who successfully ate the pie, also looked very excited, put on that expression that was not pleasing to anyone, and tilted his mouth provocatively to beat Chandler's chest in celebration, and the Oklahoma City fans in the front row also booed and cheered.
"Shet!"
Seeing Perkins' arrogance, Chandler couldn't help yelling, seeing DeShawn Stevenson raise his hand to signal, he could only suppress his anger.
"The Mavericks' outside defensive strength seems to have declined. Considering the factors of the away game, this is understandable, but if the subsequent games continue to allow Kayce such an easy breakthrough, it will enter the rhythm of the Thunder."
Jeff Van Gundy briefly commented on the performance of the two teams in the opening game, and Mark Jackson also pointed out the problems of the Mavericks:
"Different from the first 4 games, perhaps due to physical problems, the Mavericks' offensive rhythm slowed down after the opening. Let's see if Coach Carlisle will make adjustments in the next few minutes."
The Mavericks slowed down and hit the ball more inside, still using Nowitzki's containment force, Marion and Tyson Chandler got more shots.
But the two-pointer obviously couldn't kill the Thunder, and the scores of the two sides began to rise alternately. With 1 minutes and 4 seconds left in the first quarter, the head coach of Carlisle took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Jason Terry came off the bench and replaced DeShawns Stevenson, while Peja replaced Sean Marion. Such a substitution was obviously to strengthen the offense.
When the Mavericks were attacking, Jason Terry, who had just entered the field, received a hand-off pass from Nowitzki, briefly got rid of Li Ze's defense, took a big step, and quickly shot a jumper from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
The long rebound bounced out and fell right into the hands of Guigui. The Thunder team immediately launched a transition attack. Seeing that Li Ze had already crossed the half court, Guigui made the ball directly.
Outside the three-point line and receiving a pass from the flank, Li Ze first dribbled the ball with his left hand behind his back, out of the way of Jason Terry who wanted to block, then held the ball with his right hand, accelerated with all his strength, and went straight into the inside.
Nowitzki, who had just returned to defense, saw Li Ze break through easily, and immediately stepped forward to delay.
Sensing that Li Ze was about to break through his defense, Nowitzki just wanted to make a tactical foul to destroy the attack, but the moment he pressed his arm down, he found that Li Ze was leaning against him and throwing a shot with his left hand
"squeak!"
"Boom!"
When the goal whistle sounded, Nowitzki immediately explained to the referee with an innocent face:
"Hey sir! I fouled early! Goal invalid!"
It's a pity that the referee did not change the verdict after a brief explanation, and still signaled that the goal was valid. After the goal, Li Ze looked calm, stood under the basket pretending to be X, pulled his jersey, and posed several poses in a row
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene burst into cheers when they saw Li Ze's ruthless appearance.
After high-fiving his teammates, Li Ze stood on the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and scored the free throw steadily.
The scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately. Coach Brooks seemed to feel that there was not much pressure on the field. With 1 minutes and 2 seconds left in the first quarter, he replaced Li Ze ahead of schedule and Sefolosha came on as a substitute.
In the last 2 minutes, the two teams played tepidly. After the Mavericks tried an outside shot, they continued to hit the ball inside.
Durant faced Peja's defense with ease. At the end of the first quarter, he hit a long two-pointer again.
At 29:27, without the spark hitting the earth in the previous game, the battle of Tianwangshan seemed a bit flat, and the Thunder successfully led by 2 points in the first quarter.
"The first quarter is not the Mavericks' favorite offensive rhythm. Of course, I don't know the specific situation of the team, but judging from the performance of the players on the field, the Mavericks lack vitality."
Mark Jackson commented on the performance of the Mavericks in the first quarter. Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said immediately:
"The oppressiveness of the perimeter defense has decreased, which made it very easy for the Thunder to play offensively in the first quarter, and the Thunder's three-man team performed very efficiently."
“kayce5中3拿到7分,杜兰特5中3拿到8分,威斯布鲁克4中2拿到6分,尹巴卡和帕金斯各拿4分,首发5人全部得分,这样的场景在前4场比赛很难看到。”
The commentator Mike Breen heard the comments of the two and added:
"The shooting percentages of both teams have declined in this game. The Thunder tried three three-pointers and all of them were ironed. The Mavericks also made 2 for 0 shots from outside the three-point line. Let's see what happens in the second quarter of the two sides. Performance!"
After the start of the second quarter, the same as the previous four games, the two teams have a regular rotation. The Mavericks are still in the double-short backcourt, while the Thunder team Li Ze continues to play at the No. 2 position. The series has played 4 games. There are no more secrets.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking. After Li Ze received the ball from the baseline, he dribbled the ball slowly, and immediately made offensive gestures to his teammates after halftime.
Unlike the tactics of the previous few games, both Yinbaka and Collison sank to the bottom line, while Daiquan Cook and Sefoloza wandered on the two wings and the bottom corner.
The entire top of the arc was almost entirely reserved for Li Ze. When Barea saw this situation, his heart tightened. It was obvious that Li Ze wanted to eat him alone.
Although Barea had been prepared for a long time, after Li Ze dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously outside the three-point line, the sudden acceleration of the ball in his right hand still made it difficult for the small guard to parry.
The difference in size made it very difficult for Barea to defend. Li Ze caught half of his body and ran over to the free throw line. Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, shaking Barea staggeringly.
Seeing that Li Ze was swaying the ball, Barea didn't care to adjust the center of gravity of the defense.
What he was waiting for was this moment. Facing the opponent's defense, Li Ze took off and forced a jump shot while hanging on to Barea.
"squeak!"
"Shh!"
Just as the referee blew the whistle, huge cheers erupted in the Ford Center Arena. After Li Ze scored the goal, he smiled lightly at Barea and then clenched his fists in celebration!
Standing on the free throw line, Li Ze scored the ball steadily and then retreated immediately.
Looking at Li Ze's back, Barea was a bit overwhelmed. In the last game, Li Ze scored crazy points on him, but tonight he just played for me, and the opponent made a 2+1. The anger in his heart has been somewhat controlled Can't stop.
When the Mavericks attacked, Jason Terry and Barea began to pass the ball continuously on the outside. With 12 seconds left in the attack time, Barea received the ball at the top of the arc.
Using Nowitzki's cover, he successfully got rid of Li Ze's defense, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and successfully tricked Collison with a sudden passing feint while moving, and then immediately threw a shot with his left hand.
After completing the attack, Barea breathed a sigh of relief, but found a big hand directly on the ball in the next second!
"Snapped!"
Li Ze, who was chasing with all his strength, immediately sent out a peg board cap at the moment the opponent completed the shot. The ball was slapped vigorously and hit the backboard directly. After rebounding, Collison under the basket successfully controlled the ball.
Immediately after giving the ball to Li Ze, the Thunder launched a conversion attack again, noticing that Sefolosha rushed to the front, quickly passed the ball to the opponent, and then accelerated with all his strength, rushing across the opponent's half.
The Mavericks retreated quickly, Sefolosha saw that there was no chance of a fast break, and returned the ball to Li Ze again, and Collison stood firmly on the three-point line.
When Barea saw that Li Ze wanted to perform a pick-and-roll, he immediately chose to stick to the defense and wanted to squeeze through the screen. Li Zeyang pretended to break through on the right side, dribbled the ball behind his back with his right hand, and then quickly turned around with the ball in his left hand.
Sticking to Collison's screen, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. Heywood had no choice but to delay again.
Heywood pulled subconsciously, but saw Li Ze tilted his body and completed the projectile with his left hand
"squeak!"
"Shh!"
The whistle blew and the ball went in. Li Ze, who lost his center of gravity, roared passionately, lying on the floor and punching continuously to celebrate!The Oklahoma City fans at the scene also shouted excitedly.
"This is an incredible performance! Excellent body coordination, soft touch, kayce's left hand can still complete the attack!"
In the ESPN commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy has turned into Li Ze, and everyone on the Mavericks on the court saw Li Ze's performance completely breaking the defense:
