The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 339 Smart Air Conditioning (7600 word chapter)
On the night of May 5th, as the Clippers won the battle of Tianwangshan, the media reporters in America finally stopped being foolish, and various ball critics also praised the performance of the Clippers:

"The playoffs are the stage for superstars!"

Just one day later, all the critics who had previously supported the wonderful team basketball disappeared, and everyone collectively became Li Zechui.

The NBA league is also keeping up with the current situation. Just after the game ended, they posted the completed data poster of Li Ze and the duo on Instagram, and Twitter also began to update the data simultaneously:
"Crazy triple double! Witness a great show! #YoungKing(crown.jpg)"

In the playoffs, Li Ze got three 3+ triple-doubles, the only one in history!

The outrageous data performance naturally made the fans repost it frantically, but in this game, what made the media feel powerless to complain was the playing time of the Clippers' main lineup.

Li Ze 46 minutes, Griffin 43 minutes, Paul 41 minutes, Jordan 40 minutes, Ray Allen 34 minutes.

The main lineup also took a break in the first half, and the time in the second half was directly full.

The Spurs' rotation lineup has always been against Li Ze, no matter how Popovich rotates, Li Ze is on the field.

Rebounds, assists, and steals, Li Ze also has a strong presence on the defensive end. As the leader of the team, the defensive end must lead by example, so that role players can defend with all their might.

Just after the game ended, in TNT's post-match commentary, 4 people crazily complained about De Nagro's employment arrangements.

"46 minutes and 39 seconds, this is Kayce's playing time in this game. I believe that if Popovich does not replace the main lineup in the end, coach De Nagro will let Kayce play for 48 minutes!"

The host Ernie Johnson looked at the technical statistics in his hand, shook his head and complained with a wry smile.

"I like Kayce's defensive attitude. As for playing time, I believe this is Kayce's own choice, but the Clippers' rotation does have some problems."

Kenny Smith didn't want to talk too much about the tactics of the Clippers coaching staff, after all, they won tonight.

"But the series is not over yet. The G6 game will return to San Antonio the day after tomorrow. Kayce's physical fitness may have problems. To play such a performance on both ends of the offense and defense, I believe he has already paid a lot of physical energy."

Charles Barkley is still trying to speak for his chosen Spurs team, the poisonous milk seems to be attacking again, and the Spurs are going to be out.
O'Neill on the side saw through this man's mind and said with a low smile:

"The core three of the Clippers are much younger than the Spurs. Tim Duncan played another 36 minutes in this game. Physical fitness is not a problem!"

"The Spurs lack a stable scoring point. The role players are really good. Danny Green, Belinelli, Mills, Diaw, all scored three-pointers, but they couldn't change the situation of the game."

The host Ernie Johnson saw that all three had given their opinions, and immediately concluded with a smile:
"Looks like this year we're going to see Kayce and LeBron James again!"

"Considering this year's offseason, LeBron has player options, and perhaps the Finals will determine the future of the Big Three."

Charles Barkley joked at this time:

"Should we also stage the second season of "Decision", who will be the protagonist this time?"

Thinking of the whole program when O'Neill joined TNT last time, the four people in the studio burst into laughter.

Poking about LeBron James' lack of a championship has almost become a regular program on TNT
At the press conference after the game, the sports media stopped asking Popovich. After losing the battle of Tianwangshan, the Spurs were already out of breath.

Originally, there was a lack of superstars in the team, and the topic level was not high. Seeing that the Clippers will reach the finals again, everyone is busy hyping the rematch between Li Ze and LeBron James. No one cares about what happened to the Spurs. Sample.
After returning to the hotel, Popovich and the coaching staff couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the technical statistics in their hands, they were speechless.

22 of 9 three-pointers, Belinelli played well, 6 of 4 from the outside, but others can't do it, Danny Green is 5 of 1, Mills is 3 of 1, Dior is 3 of 1, Ginobili 3 for 1, Leonard 2 for 1.

Popovich felt a little helpless when he saw Leonard's 15-for-3, 12 points, 7 rebounds and 4 turnovers. Obviously, after Li Ze hit the 3rd position, he completely froze Leonard, who played well in the first two games.
"Greg, how should we adjust for the next game? We must admit that the opponents are indeed younger than us, and their physical fitness may not have too many problems!"

Hearing what the assistant coach said, Popovich, who had pondered for a while, suddenly said:
"If you want to drag the game into the tiebreaker, you have to use some other means!"

"."

On May 5, the Heat returned home and did not waste any more chances. In the first quarter, the Pacers only scored 30 points through tough defense.

Paul George scored 5 for 0 in a single quarter and scored 1 point with free throws. George Hill scored 4 for 0 and scored zero. When the team most needed the head star to stand up, the two directly crossed.

In contrast, LeBron James scored 7 of 5 and scored 11 points in a single quarter, successfully establishing the victory for the Heat.

92:117, the Heat beat the Pacers and reached the finals again!
全场比赛下来，勒布朗-詹姆斯12中8，拿到25分4篮板6助攻1抢断2失误。

Bosh scored 14 of 10, scoring 25 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. Wade scored 12 points on 6 of 13. The Big Three clocked in at halftime, completely blowing up the Pacers and once again showing their dominance!

The media reporters in America seemed to have forgotten their previous praise for the Pacers. At 34:60 in the half, they tweeted frantically, praising the performance of the Heat.

Once again won the Eastern Conference championship, everyone in the Heat team was all smiles.

At the awards ceremony for the division champions, LeBron James, who was in a good mood, heard the shouts of "Stay" erupting from the American Airlines Arena, and immediately gave a vague promise:
"I am very happy in Miami, I like the basketball atmosphere here, Wade and Bosh are my good brothers, I enjoy the process of playing here!"

The host at the scene heard the fans shouting continuously, and immediately asked Wade on the side:
"Wade, we all know how difficult this season is for the Heat. How do you feel?"

Wade, who was wearing a white division championship T-shirt, saw LeBron James holding the trophy and waving to the fans, and wanted to take the opportunity to keep his good brother:

"It feels great to reach the finals! This is our 4th year as a team!"

"As LeBron said, our cooperation is more tacit, we have shown our dominance, I believe we will eventually win the championship and start the dynasty belonging to the Heat!"

Bosh smiled when he heard Wade's speech, but he only said a few big words during the interview. He has experienced such a scene three times.
The Heat fans kept shouting, but there was no happy expression on the faces of the Heat's management. Pat Riley looked at LeBron James, and there was an unspeakable emotion in his heart:
"Did I make the wrong choice?"

"."

On May 5, the Clippers who flew to San Antonio had routine recovery training in the morning.

Head coach De Nagro looked at Li Ze, who was full of energy, and was completely relieved.

克里斯-保罗心情大好，G5的比赛14中7，其中三分球3中2，罚球6中5，拿到21分4篮板8助攻1抢断2失误。

Although the statistics are mediocre, Paul couldn't help being excited when he thought that he might be able to reach the finals again tonight.

After getting a big contract, winning a championship, and signing expensive advertising endorsements, Paul felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Although he has more ambitions for achievement and glory, Paul currently wants to start a dynasty, which can greatly consolidate his historical position.

Noticing that Li Ze was still doing basic daily training, Paul nodded secretly, then looked at Griffin who was moving his body, and asked in a low voice:

"Blake, how is your physical condition? You will definitely play 40+ minutes again tonight."

"No problem, my physical condition must be much better than Duncan, don't forget that Duncan is 38 years old, I will completely restrict him tonight!"

Griffin seemed full of confidence, mainly because he wanted to win. He is an All-Star this season. If he is blown away by the 38-year-old man, the media will definitely ridicule him after the game.
If the loss is due to him, Griffin feels a little scared when he thinks that the boring media during the offseason may talk about it for 3 months.

Li Ze, who has completed basic training, is communicating with Tucker about his defensive experience.

Although the badges brought him passive bonuses, Li Ze also summed up a lot of experience after personally experiencing some defensive skills:

"Near the free throw line, don't easily let Leonard hold the ball with his right hand, don't think about cutting the ball, this guy's big hand will not drop the ball easily."

Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand and demonstrated Leonard's usual offensive methods to Tucker. With the ball in his right hand, he rushed to the basket, and he would switch to his left hand to finish on the way.

Taking advantage of his own physical advantage, he took advantage of the defense. The explanation in the video class is worse than experiencing it in person. Tucker felt that Li Ze's attack on the basket seemed to be more powerful than Leonard, and he complained helplessly. road:
"Fortunately, Leonard's strength is not as good as yours, but this guy is also a monster, his hands are scary! And the hands feel pretty good, which is really outrageous."

Li Ze, who received the ball, patted Tucker on the shoulder and said encouragingly:

"Don't worry, the opponent's weak hand is not strong, and he doesn't have too many fancy moves, or his ability to control movement is not enough. As long as the defense does not lose its position and the double-team is timely enough, it is easy to make mistakes."

"Hang on him and confront him, just like in the last game. Don't worry about fouls. As long as Leonard can't attack, relying on those old guys and rotation, the Spurs will lose!"

Tucker nodded immediately. In the team, relying on active defense, he has won the trust of coach De Nagro.

There is no need to worry about the next contract, but Tucker wants to squeeze into the starting lineup. Hearing Li Ze's advice, he is naturally full of motivation, and he also wants to express himself.

On the night of the 31st, at the AT Center Arena, Spurs fans entered the stadium early. Tonight's game may be their last home game of the season, so the fans were extremely enthusiastic.

Everyone wants to use their cheering voice to contribute to the home team!

In the game that night, after the opening game, Li Ze made sudden shots and made 2 of 2 shots. Like the game in G5, he output all his strength on both offense and defense.

Head coach Popovich saw that something was wrong, and the Spurs' offense was a bit sluggish, so he requested a timeout early. The team's staff received the signal and immediately made a fuss.

With 1 minutes and 5 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze felt that the temperature of the AT Center Arena seemed to have risen a bit, and the referee immediately felt something was wrong, and immediately came to the technical stage to suspend the game.

The coaching staff of the Clippers immediately came to the technical stage. Coach De Nagro waved his arms and asked loudly:

"Why is there such a problem in the Western Conference Finals? Don't tell me that the Spurs arena is not air-conditioned?"

Seeing that the head coach De Nagro was agitated, the referee immediately appeased him, and then went to the technical stage to continue communicating.

At the end of May in San Antonio, the highest temperature during the day can reach about 5 degrees, and even at night, it can reach 31 degrees.

The AT center arena is full of spectators tonight, with 18418 people on site. Without air conditioning, the arena will directly become a big steamer
On the Spurs' bench, Popovich also showed an innocent look, and even asked the technical stage with concern. The old man spread his hands, as if he felt very helpless about the situation.

The coaching staff of the Clippers did not expect the Spurs to play off-the-board tricks. Obviously, the opponent was fully prepared, and maybe even replaced the energy drink with a special version.
The game was suspended for nearly 10 minutes. Finally, the staff of the venue came to the technical stage and said very apologetically:
"This is a negligence on our part. San Antonio has been so hot recently that our pit crew forgot to check the air conditioning before the game."

"Repairs will take at least an hour. I am very sorry for the bad experience brought to the players on both sides."

The three members of the referee group looked at each other, and the league staff on the technical stage rubbed their brows helplessly. In the end, the referee could only explain the situation to the two teams. The next game will be played without air conditioning.
Coach De Nagro was almost blown away. As the temperature of the stadium rises, it will definitely increase the physical consumption of the players. If the Clippers continue to shorten the rotation, they may not reach the fourth quarter, and their physical fitness will be overdrawn.

"Shameless means! This is the most outrageous game I have ever experienced!"

The Spurs fans at the scene saw that the head coach De Nagro seemed to have broken the defense, and they immediately screamed with joy. The fans don't care about the temperature.

Everyone in the Clippers was also a little dazed, it was indeed the first time they had experienced this scene.
"It's just that the temperature in the stadium has risen a bit, there is no problem, we will win the game!"

Li Ze clapped his hands to signal everyone to come back to their senses, and Chris Paul also hurriedly greeted everyone to prepare for the game.

What kind of experience is it like to play a high-confrontation game in a high temperature of 30 degrees?
After three quarters of the game, Chris Paul felt that he was about to suffocate. Looking at the score of 64:66 on the big screen, Paul kept panting.

Griffin is going to die too. The Clippers didn't add too much rotation. No one wants to play a tiebreaker. After all, a game that determines the outcome depends on the state of the day.

Coach De Nagro was so hot that he took off his suit jacket and tie, and the Spurs fans were still screaming, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Hang on guys! Only 12 minutes to win, Kayce, do I need to replace you?"

Upon hearing the question, Li Ze wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, and then said loudly:
"No problem! Believe me, the other party will definitely collapse before us!"

Tyronn Lue on the side was completely blinded. At this time, the temperature in the stadium was close to 32 degrees. Li Ze had been playing for three quarters, and he still looked energetic at this time. Is this still human?

In the commentary seat of ESPN, Jeff Van Gundy was so hot that he took off his suit jacket and said loudly while wiping his sweat:
"This is definitely the worst game I have ever experienced! Unbelievable that Kayce didn't rest for a minute!"

"18 of 7, including 4 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover. I have to say that the Spurs' defense has worked. Kayce is still human, and he will be tired!"

The commentator Mike Breen quickly took a sip of water, and then added:

"The Spurs' rotation is more sufficient. Once the Clippers' physical fitness is exhausted, they will have a chance to overtake the score."

In the high temperature of 32 degrees at the scene, the fourth quarter of the game officially started, and the fans of the Spurs were still full of energy and continued to shout crazily:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Li Ze dribbled the ball for half the game. In the fourth quarter, Paul and Griffin took a rest. Only Jordan was still on the court.

At the same time, Crawford, Barnes, and Tucker appeared in rotation.

Noticing Duncan's frequent rotation in the first three quarters, Li Ze also twitched his lips. These old men are really desperate.

Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter, in the last quarter, Popovich chose the Twin Towers lineup.

Leonard scored 12 points. At this time, his physical condition was very pessimistic, but his mental state was extremely excited. He saw the hope of victory.

Soon Leonard saw that the Clippers cleared the top of the arc, and everyone in the Clippers ran off the assembly line.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, and seeing Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, lowered his center of gravity and pretended to accelerate, Leonard quickly slid back to the left.

The two approached the three-point line at the top of the arc from the logo position. Li Ze, who was on the move, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, then paused slightly, held the ball in his left hand, and raised his center of gravity.

Before Leonard could react, he saw Li Ze dribble the ball under his crotch twice in a row, his body swayed from side to side, and saw Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand to lower his body's center of gravity again, he couldn't help but subconsciously slid back to the right .

After being defended, Li Ze took two big strides, quickly dribbled the ball with his left hand, then exerted force with his feet, retreated sharply, returned to the three-point line, and then jumped up against Leonard to block the shot, slightly behind The upside-down three-pointer quickly made a jumper!
"Shua!" Three-pointer hollow net!
The Spurs fans at the scene immediately exclaimed, in the fourth quarter, can they still shake?Can I still throw it?

Leonard looked at Li Ze, who quickly retreated, his legs were sore and he kept panting. At this moment, he really doubted his life.
The air he breathes is hot, but Li Ze doesn't care about it. He keeps clapping his hands to remind his teammates to pay attention to defense:

"Defend the next round!"

At this time, the Spurs had the opportunity to play big and small. Duncan directly asked for the ball in the low post on the left side, ignoring Tucker's defense, and forced to hit the basket. Jordan immediately came up to help defend.

Duncan made an inside pass to Splitter at the basket. The latter was unstable in receiving the ball. He adjusted and tried to put the basket, but was directly interfered by Jordan who returned to defense again.

The ball knocked out of the frame, and Li Ze stuck Leonard who was rushing into the basket, then jumped high, rushed to the rebound in the crowd, then immediately held the ball with his left hand, accelerated crazily, and launched a transition attack.

Leonard didn't expect Li Ze to be so fast, and he was suddenly thrown away. Tony Parker from the outside line stepped forward to interfere, but was directly dodged by Li Ze's left hand behind the ball.

Holding the ball in his right hand, he accelerated crazily. Li Ze had just passed the half court when Manu Ginobili, who was catching up from the left, kept pressing Li Ze by his side.

Taking advantage of the trend, he moved to the right flank, just approaching the three-point line, and Li Ze, who was on the move, pulled his hips back sharply, made a sudden stop, and instantly shook Ginobili's defense, then retreated along the trend, converted a three-pointer and made a quick jumper shot!
"Shua!" Converted to a three-pointer and scored again!

As soon as the Spurs retreated to halftime, they saw Li Ze, who scored a goal, beating his chest and roaring continuously. The AT Center Arena was also blown up. The fans shouted and booed at the same time.

On the Clippers bench, coach De Nagro was so excited that he punched continuously. At 68:64, the Clippers overtook the score and widened the point difference.

In less than 1 minute, from leading to lagging behind, the head coach Popovich was so anxious that he kept sweating. The high temperature on the scene made the bad old man flush with heat.

In the next few minutes, the desperate Duncan began to kill the basket, but the Clippers, who were relieved, also began to play role players.

With Li Ze being flanked, Crawford succeeded in singles and helped the Clippers maintain the point difference.

The fourth quarter of the game entered a fierce stage. With the full return of the main lineup, the score continued to rise. To the despair of everyone in the Spurs, the point difference has been hovering at 4 points.

Parker used Splitter's pick-and-roll to break through the basket and pick the basket with his right hand.

Paul used Jordan's pick-and-roll to throw off Parker's defense, swayed on the move, swayed Splitter, and hit the free throw line in the middle distance!
Duncan made a strong two-pointer, and Griffin went down to eat the pie.

Ginobili made a breakthrough free throw, and Li Zeqiang responded by killing the basket and causing a foul!

The two sides seemed to have forgotten the high temperature, and kept scoring the response balls. The Spurs fans screamed, watching the point difference return to 2 points, and shouted again frantically:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Leonard saw Li Ze come to the left flank to catch the ball again, but his body couldn't keep up. The pressure of defending the ball dropped suddenly, and his physical fitness did not allow him to make more defensive moves.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Li Ze immediately released the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough. After taking two big steps, he suddenly dribbled the ball under his crotch, and then swayed his body to the left.

Leonard, who is physically exhausted, instinctively chooses to stick forward. Li Ze's left hand changes direction instantly, and then accelerates again with the ball in his right hand.

Leonard, who kept sliding back and forth to the left, seemed to have lost control of his body. Seeing Li Ze stop suddenly and try to attack again, his feet softened and he fell to his knees on the floor.

Without any hesitation, Li Ze immediately joined the ball from outside the three-point line, unguarded, and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!

"Unbelievable! Kayce can still make three-pointers! God! Is his physical strength unlimited?"

Jeff Van Gundy, who was too hot to talk, couldn't help but exclaimed, which was completely beyond his cognition.

"what!."

After Leonard fell to the ground, he rubbed his calf in pain, and the fans at the scene didn't bother to boo him. Some of the audience in the front row all stood up and looked at Leonard with concern.

Li Ze, who scored the goal, didn't celebrate either. He waved to the Spurs' bench and helped Leonard stretch briefly.

Physically exhausted, high-intensity defense, calf cramps
The players of the two teams were all gasping for breath. The high temperature in the arena made the physical fitness of both sides close to exhaustion. Popovich hurriedly asked the team doctor to enter the field. Finally, the fans saw Leonard being lifted off the field and immediately sent blessing applause.

Danny Green, who was panting, was substituted. Looking at Li Ze, who was still full of energy, he was completely numb
The intense physical consumption made the players on both sides want to say a word.

As the Spurs' shooting rate dropped sharply and they hit the iron continuously, after Li Ze ran without the ball, he threw away Danny Green, and after the right wing hit a long-range three-pointer, all the fans on the scene stared blankly at the celebration Li Ze.

"Wow!"

Head coach Popovich asked for a timeout, and Li Ze returned to the bench with a strange yell. The atmosphere team quickly handed over the water bottle. A real man with golden thighs can stand it all!
On the Spurs bench, there is no chicken soup, no tactics, everyone is gasping for breath, this game almost killed me
After returning from the timeout, the Spurs continued to hit the iron, and Li Ze began to rush to the basket.

The left flank cuts diagonally, Li Ze received a pass from Paul, took advantage of the situation to touch the baseline, dribbled twice vigorously, and pushed Danny Green away from him.

With a big jump, he rushed into the three-second zone, swayed the ball, and clicked Duncan, who came up from the defense, hung on the opponent's body, and completed the throw with his right hand!

"Boom!"

After hitting the board high, the ball went into the net hollow!
"squeak!"

Hearing the referee's whistle, Li Ze, who almost rushed to the street, immediately threw his fists at the camera under the basket in celebration!

"shush"

The scattered boos did not affect the wildly celebrating Clippers. Griffin and Jordan hugged Li Ze and yelled.

Paul, who was holding his knees outside the three-point line, also clenched his fists in celebration.

With Li Ze hitting a free throw, the score came to 88:80.

At this time, there are still 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs fans on the scene are completely desperate.

Players from both sides struck iron, and the high temperature in the field made the suspension of hydration useless. In the last minute or so, the two sides did not score a single point.

The buzzing sound from the midfield sounded, and most of the players from the two teams sat down on the floor. The atmosphere team of the Clippers immediately rushed to the center of the field, hugging Li Ze and shouting.

Tim Duncan walks to the bench in frustration and finally collapses on his seat, not wanting to move anymore
Leonard stared straight at the Clippers in the center of the field. After his calf cramp, the team doctor did not allow him to play again.

In such a high-temperature environment, physical overdraft is very likely to cause more serious injuries
In the AT center arena, it seems that only the cheers of the Clippers are left.

In ESPN's commentary booth, Jeff Van Gundy didn't want to talk anymore. The commentator Mike Breen wiped the sweat from his head, and finally said briskly:

"It was a crazy game, Kayce must have a mind of steel!"

“25中13，其中三分球9中5，罚球9中9，40分9篮板7助攻2抢断2失误，这绝对是我见证过最疯狂的比赛。”

Since the awarding ceremony of the division champion will be held later, everyone in the Clippers can only bear the high temperature in the venue, return to the locker room again, and put on the T-shirt and hat of the division champion.

After the excitement of Paul, Griffin, and Jr., all that was left in their bodies was exhaustion, and they all slumped in their positions, not wanting to move anymore.

After the excited Steve Ballmer entered the locker room, he also yelled along with the atmosphere group. After Li Ze changed his T-shirt, he felt that he might be suffering from heat stroke.
"Kayce, how's your body feeling?"

Tyronn Lu no longer remembers how many times he asked Li Ze in this game. Looking at the worried eyes of the coaching staff, Li Ze grinned:
"No big problem! Let's go! It's time for us to accept the award!"

Coach De Nagro patted Li Ze on the shoulder excitedly, and the Clippers returned to the center of the court again.

In the AT Center Arena, the Spurs fans who hadn't left the field finally gave the Clippers applause.

The host at the scene was also sweating profusely, cursing the Spurs for being inappropriate. This may be the most embarrassing award ceremony for the division championship
There were not too many interviews, and everyone was too tired to talk. When Li Ze raised the golden spherical trophy, scattered cheers began to appear in the AT center arena:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Everyone in the Clippers finally regained their spirits, and everyone cheered excitedly along with Li Ze:

"Oh oh oh!!"

Holding the trophy, Li Ze grinned again:
"After all, I won! The era of old men is over!"
