The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 353 New York Needs You
Chapter 353 New York Needs You
David Blatter has made great achievements in Europe. In 07, he led the Russian team to win the European Championship. In the 12 London Olympics, the Russian team also won the bronze medal.
After helping the Maccabi Club win the European Basketball Championship, David Blatt was also selected as the "European League Head Coach of the Year".
Perhaps due to studying at Princeton University as a student and playing under legendary coach Pete Carrier, David Blatt liked Princeton tactics.
This famous European coach is good at communicating with players, so after coaching the Cavaliers, Amelia's media reporters all think that he is the most suitable head coach for LeBron James.
But after actually coaching an NBA team, David Blatt was also a little numb. Dealing with player relationships was much more difficult than he imagined.
Coupled with the pervasive media, even every substitution will trigger a discussion.
In the game against the Clippers, head coach David Blatt simply replaced James briefly after the official timeout in accordance with usual practice, and replaced James again with 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter.
As a result, such a routine operation, the sports reporters on the scene followed suit and complained:
"The Cavaliers fell behind in the first quarter, and it is the responsibility of the head coach. He should let LeBron play the first quarter!"
The emergence of Twitter has turned the NBA game into a quarter theory. At 26:33, the Cavaliers fell behind by 7 points in the first quarter. Some sports media couldn't sit still, and various comments on Twitter emerged one after another.
Coach David Blatt of course cannot see the speech on social media at the moment. At this time, he is worried about how to defend Li Ze.
In the London Olympics in 12, head coach David Blatt had already seen Li Ze's ability, but after more than two years, he found that Li Ze was stronger than before!
In the first quarter of the game, JR-Smith and Mike Miller basically gave away for nothing. The 37-year-old veteran Sean Marion couldn't keep up, and only LeBron James' defense was somewhat effective.
Therefore, during the timeout, coach David Blatt immediately made a matchup adjustment:
"LeBron! We need you to switch in front of Lee, and we can't let him continue to score easily!"
In the Staples Arena, the noise on the scene was getting louder and louder. When James heard the head coach's loud request, he could only pull his face and nodded in agreement.
Kyrie Irving on the side sipped water, but he was not optimistic about this matchup:
"If this matchup worked, maybe LeBron would have won the championship long ago!"
He didn't care about it in his heart, and naturally showed an indifferent attitude on his face. Although he also recognized James' ability, in many cases, Owen didn't care about James' thoughts at all, and he could fight as he wanted!
"Kyrie Irving played well, 4 of 3, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points in a single quarter. LeBron performed quite well, 5 of 2, and scored 4 points."
"It seems that coach David Blatt will not only worry about defensive resources tonight, if LeBron can't open this, the Cavaliers' offense will also have problems!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan noticed that James had stood up and was about to appear on the stage, and immediately introduced the importance of James.
"I'm not optimistic about this rotation. The Cavaliers' defense is the biggest problem right now."
"Kayce made 7 of 5 in the first quarter, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and easily scored 15 points. The Cavaliers' perimeter defense can be said to be useless. LeBron needs to assume the responsibility of the leader."
Reggie Miller took the opportunity to output with all his strength. In the first quarter of the game, LeBron James only switched to the front of Li Ze twice
On the Clippers' bench, coach De Nagro simply told the players on rotation:
"Jockic, after coming on the court, protect the backcourt rebound!"
Jokic nodded immediately, while Hawes on the side looked depressed. Since the injury, Jokic has successfully taken the position, which took him a lot of playing time.
The Cavaliers have a small lineup of Dellavedova, Marion, James, Mike Miller, and Tristan Thompson.
The Clippers also just got Paul, Crawford, Dudley, Tucker, and Jokic.
Since Griffin's back discomfort, head coach De Nagro has increased his rotation and tried to keep Griffin's playing time below 37 minutes.
保罗第1节3中1,拿到2分1篮板6助攻,面对欧文的防守,他并没有勉强进攻。
The height of the rotation lineup is a bit disadvantageous. Paul noticed that James forced the inside line in the first round, causing Dudley's foul, and immediately frowned slightly.
"Jockic, pay attention to protect the basket and control the defensive position!"
Paul's reminder suddenly made Jokic a little bit overwhelmed. Tristan Thompson's pick-and-roll, he needs to guard against the opponent's roll, and more importantly, without Li Ze's barrier, LeBron James can easily break through.
Seeing James hit the iron for the second free throw and Jokic protected the backcourt rebound, the Staples Center immediately burst into cheers.
The Clippers' rotation and style of play have also undergone some changes. Since Jokic was found to be able to handle the ball, except for Paul's pick-and-roll, the white fat man spends more time standing in the left and right elbows of the free throw line.
Passed the ball directly after halftime, then Paul cut in without the ball, and then quickly ran to the left corner, taking advantage of the opportunity to set a screen for Crawford.
Marion strictly guarded Crawford, preventing the opponent from coming to the left flank beyond the three-point line for hand-off passes.
The Cavaliers' defensive attention came online to attract. At this time, Dudley suddenly moved down in the right block position and made an off-ball screen for Tucker in the right corner.
James was still directing his teammates to pay attention to the line defense just now, and subconsciously followed Dudley to move. As a result, Tucker suddenly cut in along the baseline with the help of a cover, which caught him off guard.
Before he had time to react, Tucker at the bottom right of the basket received a pass from Jokic and made a quick layup!
Hearing the cheers from the fans at the scene, James' face turned darker. He only paid attention to Paul and Crawford. He didn't expect the Clippers' role players to be so proactive.
The defense leaked, and the commentator Kevin Harlan was embarrassed to explain that it was James, but Reggie Miller said without hesitation:
"This is the confidence brought by the championship. Of course, this is not the first time the Clippers have used this simple Flex Offense. LeBron's defense is careless!"
In the next few minutes, LeBron James was fully fired, hitting mid-range and three-pointers consecutively, neither Dudley nor Tucker could limit James' explosion.
But the point difference has not been narrowed. Paul's mid-range, Jokic's pass, and Crawford's breakthrough have always kept the Clippers ahead.
This time the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James went inside, noticed that Jokic was shrinking to the basket, and immediately gave it to Tristan Thompson who went down the middle.
The latter received the pass and subconsciously released the ball to adjust. As a result, he encountered Tucker, who was shrinking defensively, and almost dropped the ball. Tristan Thompson hurriedly threw the ball to Mike Miller in the left corner, followed by an open three-pointer Jump shot!
"state!"
The rebound popped up and was immediately accepted by Jokic. Tristan Thompson saw the fat man dribbling the ball directly, and immediately wanted to step forward to cut the ball, but Jokic dribbled easily behind the back of his left hand.
Everyone in the Cavaliers didn't expect Jokic to rush with the ball at all. The cheers of the fans came from the ears, and they saw that the white fat man had already rushed to the center line and was still accelerating.
LeBron James was so angry that he quickly caught up from behind, only to find that Jokic, who was marching to the free throw line, flicked the ball secretly, and the ball fell directly into the hands of Dudley on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Converting the three-pointer to no defense, Dudley took a glance, and then quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
In the Staples Arena, the fans were all happy, and the center pushed back, which is a rare scene.
Coach David Blatt stood on the sidelines, frowning, and waited until Sean Marion fouled in the next two rounds, and returned to the main lineup in one breath.
The Clippers are still in regular rotation. When the game entered the official timeout with 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Ze returned with the main lineup and Paul took a rest.
At this time, the score on the field was 40:47, and the Clippers still led by 7 points.
Assistant coach Tyronn Lue, who was sitting on the bench, saw that James seemed ready to play the second quarter and nodded accordingly.
He has received an invitation from the Cavaliers and is preparing to join the Cavaliers coaching staff next season.
Tyronn Lu believes that head coach David Blatt will have to dismiss get out of class sooner or later. The media has already begun to criticize the famous European coach, and then his chance will come.
LeBron James saw Li Ze dribbling the ball with his right hand across the half court, and quickly scored 12 points.
Irving noticed that Crawford in front of him began to move to the left corner, and immediately knew that the Clippers were ready to play.
I just wanted to remind James that Li Ze, who was at the top of the arc, suddenly pushed the ball and changed direction, then dribbled the ball under the crotch extremely quickly with his left hand. After lowering the center of gravity of his body, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
LeBron James reacted very quickly and slid back to the left with all his might. When Li Ze was approaching the free throw line, he suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply. James had not had time to adjust his defensive center of gravity and did not slow down. breakthrough!
The fans at the scene saw Li Ze easily breaking through James' defense, and immediately cheered loudly. He cut into the paint from the middle, and Tristan Thompson under the basket immediately assisted in the defense.
After jumping up to attack the frame, ignoring physical confrontation, Li Ze made a false pass, and the ball fell from the opponent's side to Griffin at the bottom right of the basket.
After receiving the pass at the basket, Griffin didn't make any adjustments, just dunked the ball!
"Boom!" Eating cakes and dunking successfully!
The Clippers' bench was full of joy, one-on-one against James, shrimp and pig hearts!
Griffin, who completed the dunk, screamed for a while. The cake was delicious. LeBron James pinched his waist with both hands and stopped at the free throw line.
Feeling very helpless, even after losing weight, facing Li Ze's breakthrough one-on-one, he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm. After gaining weight, his defensive agility couldn't come back.
For two consecutive rounds, Li Ze assisted Griffin and Jordan to eat cakes respectively. Facing the defense of Crawford or Barnes, Irving also played like a duck to water, and twice rushed to the basket and assisted Tristan Thompson. Success in eating cakes.
In order not to get the third foul too early, Griffin's defense was also a little restrained. Li Ze saw that Irving became active again, and when he was serving from the baseline, he immediately made this gesture of switching defenses.
James noticed that Griffin wanted to come to the pick-and-roll on the three-point line again, so he took a step ahead and posted anti-interference with Li Ze.
Facing James' defense, Li Ze first raised the center of gravity of his body, held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through, then suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around quickly.
Cleverly throwing off James' defense, Tristan Thompson saw Griffin going down, but he didn't dare to step forward and delay, so he could only retreat.
The fans at the scene screamed again. LeBron James lost his defensive position. Seeing that Li Ze had broken through to the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, he quickly chased and defended.
Just coming to the left side of Li Ze, James failed to make a defensive move, and saw Li Ze turn around quickly with his left foot as the axis, and bypassed his defense again.
Seeing that Li Ze was about to turn to the basket to complete the attack, James turned around and immediately rushed towards Li Ze. The two collided in the air. Throw!
"Crack! Squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, James turned his head subconsciously, only to see the ball stumbling into the basket after hitting the board
In the Staples Arena, the fans began to cheer loudly. JR-Smith noticed that James was getting darker and couldn't say much.
He originally wanted to switch to Li Ze, but this involved the face of the superstar, so he could only silently stand outside the three-point line and watch Li Ze make a free throw.
In the next round, the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James wanted to save face, and noticed that the defender in front of him was replaced by Barnes, and the left wing outside the three-point line quickly asked for the ball.
It turned out that Owen was fighting Li Ze at the top of the arc, and he didn't even look at him.
The cheers of the fans made Owen more energetic. Facing Li Ze's defense, he lowered his body's center of gravity, held the ball in his right hand, dribbled back with a cross step, and then dribbled with his crotch and changed forward.
While shaking his body to the left, he slightly in and out with his left hand, and then quickly changed direction again, finally finding a chance, and Owen, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated with all his strength.
Although Li Ze lost his defensive position in an instant, his reaction was also fast. While Owen accelerated, he immediately slid to the left and rear, and at the same time, he concealed his opponent's physical confrontation.
The body collided, which immediately slowed Owen down, and then Li Ze immediately cut the ball with his left hand. Owen immediately used his left foot as the axis and pulled the ball back with his right hand.
As if he felt that he was shaking out of the shooting space, Owen quickly turned around, and then made a mid-range fadeaway jumper!
As soon as the ball came out of his hand, Owen just felt that he had the ball, when he found Li Ze soaring into the air, with a big cap on his head and face!
"Oh!!"
The Staples Arena exploded in an instant, the fans screamed with excitement, the ball bounced to the floor, Li Ze took advantage of the momentum and jumped forward, took the ball with his left hand, and immediately launched a conversion attack.
Before everyone in the Cavaliers could react, James, who was on the flank, was already at full speed, chasing and defending desperately.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate, and he naturally spotted the movement of James behind him. The Chosen One looked ferocious, and he was about to break the defense, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
James thought that Li Ze would choose to dunk the end, but Li Ze had just dribbled past the three-point line and suddenly dribbled sideways behind his back.
After an emergency stop, Li Ze withdrew suddenly, making James, who was chasing all he could, numb. His body was so inertial that he couldn't react at all. He stopped at the free throw line and watched Li Ze make an easy shot at the top of the arc!
"Kayce! Knocks down the three ball!"
"He's heating up!"
The exaggerated conversion of the three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan completely overwhelmed and screamed with excitement.
Li Ze scored 6 points in a row, and the score instantly became 44:57. The Clippers widened the point difference to 13 points.
Head coach David Blatt only felt that Li Ze's offensive choices were outrageous, and at the same time he was pissed off by Irving's last round, so he immediately requested a timeout.
James, who was chasing after him, looked very embarrassed. When he saw Owen interacting with Li Ze with a smile, he was almost blown away. When he walked to the bench, he immediately cursed in a low voice:
"Shet!"
In the last few minutes of the first half, Li Ze began to slow down, and the Clippers frequently started attacking positions, not giving the Cavaliers any chance to switch.
LeBron James was depressed to find that as long as the pick-and-roll breaks through, the Clippers will shrink their defense. Without Li Ze's line of defense, Griffin and Jordan are waiting for him inside.
With Tristan Thompson spitting cake at the basket, the first half of the game officially ended.
At 51:64, the Clippers entered the second half with a 13-point lead.
During the intermission, the sports reporters of Amerika couldn't stay idle, and many people followed suit and tweeted:
"The Cavaliers are completely finished! They have no hope of winning the championship this year!"
"Head coach David Blatt let James play the full second quarter? Get out of class!"
In the commentary seat of TNT, Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hands and was a little speechless. The commentator Kevin Harlan said slightly at this time:
"Kayce must have paid attention to James' shots. The data of the two is very interesting!"
“詹姆斯半场11中4,其中三分球3中1,罚球5中2,拿到11分3篮板4助攻4失误。”
“Kayce半场11中8,其中三分球5中3,罚球6中6,砍下25分4篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误。”
Reggie Miller shook his head helplessly, and said with emotion:
"This is not the game I want to see. Fans want the Cavaliers to play well together, not to watch Irving and James play alone."
"All 5 players on the field need to touch the ball. Kayce did a better job. In the second half of the game, he conceded more chances, and James played too hesitantly in the last few minutes, and there were two low-level shots. Bad pass."
In the Cavaliers locker room, the atmosphere was a bit silent, mainly because LeBron James broke the defense a bit. In previous games, even if he fell behind at halftime, James would encourage his teammates.
But tonight, after returning to the locker room, the Chosen One just sat in his seat without saying a word.
It seems that recalling the experience of the past 4 years, James only feels tired, and when he sees the statistics, the corner of his mouth twitches, shrimp and pig heart.
Irving was in a good mood. In the first half of the game, he was the only one who played the best in the Cavaliers. He scored 9 of 5 points and scored 16 points. He had already expected James' performance, so naturally he would not be disappointed.
After David Blatt head coach came to the locker room, he naturally noticed the emotions of the players, and immediately raised his voice and said encouragingly:
"We still have halftime to play, the difference is only 13 points, we still have a chance to win the game!"
"Defense! Everyone needs to pay attention to defense, we must show a tough defensive attitude!"
The dry layout made everyone in the Cavaliers feel even worse. Everyone felt that it would be better to take the opportunity to shout "Let's go!" to talk about these tactical requirements.
At the Staples Center, the Clippers fans have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game. They have seen this kind of game many times. Leading by more than 10 points, the Clippers never capsize!
After the start of the third quarter, Paul, who rested for half a quarter, finally found his touch. After the opening, he hit the mid-range pick-and-roll consecutively.
On the Cavaliers' side, Irving also let go of his hands and feet, basically taking the ball and doing it. Facing Paul's defense, he looked extremely confident and kept scoring points.
The duel between the two star guards also made the fans hooked.
This time the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James finally received the pass, looking at Li Ze in front of him, he was extremely depressed.
The left flank outside the three-point line called for a pick-and-roll. Mozgov had just stood on the three-point line. James immediately held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough.
Li Ze walked off the line to defend, and quickly slid to block James' breakthrough route. The two got entangled in the paint area, and Griffin immediately stepped forward to help defend.
Seeing that a two-person pinch was about to form, James hit the ground behind him and passed the ball. Tristan Thompson missed the first pass. Just after releasing the ball to adjust, Griffin's defense came up again.
Tristan Thompson wanted to take advantage of the situation to lift the ball forcefully to cause a foul, but the ball was cut off by Li Ze as soon as it reached his chest.
Seeing Li Ze regain control of the ball, the fans cheered again. Everyone in the Cavaliers was completely paralyzed, and their offensive routines were figured out.
The head coach David Blatt on the sidelines frowned, but at this moment he remembered Love's goodness. With two big men, the offense was really constipated
Seeing Li Ze dribble the ball across the half court, JR-Smith immediately put up defense in advance.
After adjustments in the midfield, LeBron James finally decided to focus on offense, and the defensive task was transferred to JR-Smith.
The right flank outside the three-point line, although Li Ze was a little close to the sideline, but JR-Smith did not dare to rush up. Once the defense lost its position, he was crushed and broke through instantly.
Li Ze first glanced at the inside position, and then noticed that JR-Smith was still a small step away from him. His body suddenly swayed to the left.
JR-Smith was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, he saw Li Ze blowing the ball on the spot, taking a long-distance retreat for a three-pointer and quickly shooting a jumper!
"Oh——!"
“The long-range bomb is good!”
The long-range three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan subconsciously exclaim, and then immediately yelled, he had never seen this scene.
The fans cheered continuously, and JR-Smith saw Li Ze raised three fingers and retreated slowly. He was numb, and he was still one step away from the three-point line.
At 59:75, the point difference was widened to 16 points. Everyone in the Cavaliers had completely lost their temper, and Irving was also a little confused. Li Ze did not show such aggression in the previous two years of fighting.
Although the Cavaliers are still scoring and Irving is fully fired, the point difference has not narrowed, and the defensive end has nothing to do with the pick-and-roll.
In this round, Jordan's pick-and-roll quality is good. Li Ze, who holds the ball in his right hand, throws off JR-Smith at the top of the arc. Mozgov doesn't know how to defend for a while.
At the moment of hesitation, he saw that Li Ze had drifted to the right in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line and completed a fadeaway jumper. As soon as Mozgov heard the cheers of the fans, he knew he had scored again
With the combination of sudden shots, everyone on the Cavaliers became more and more confused. After Li Ze scored consecutive mid-range shots, head coach David Blatt replaced Marion and Mozgov went off, making the lineup smaller.
The result was useless. Faced with Li Ze's breakthrough, Marion could only choose to foul.
Reggie Miller saw Li Ze standing on the free throw line, and immediately said unceremoniously:
"The game is over. I don't see any signs of the Cavaliers fighting back. Irving is very good, but basketball is for 5 people."
"LeBron James also needs to stand up on the defensive end. You can't expect JR Smith to suddenly become an elite defender. Marion is also 37 years old. Faced with such a defense, Kayce will only score easily."
At the end of the third quarter, as Griffin ate the cake, scored consecutively in the low post and mid-range, the Clippers further widened the point difference.
24:32 in a single quarter, after three quarters, 75:96, the game completely lost its suspense.
During the break between festivals, the sports media at the scene were also a little confused. In the Staples Arena, the big screen was displaying the data of Li Ze's three games.
18中13,其中三分球7中4,罚球10中10,40分6篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误。
With 40 points in three quarters, thinking of this, some sports media secretly scolded the Knicks for being inappropriate. If Li Ze’s 30+ record continues, how much traffic will this attract?
Li Zemei, who was sitting on the bench, ate the orange happily. He was not interested in appearing in the fourth quarter.
Coach De Nagro first took the rotation lineup, and saw that the Cavaliers basically changed to the atmosphere group. After playing for more than two minutes, the Clippers also changed immediately.
For nearly a quarter of the game, Jokic and Ingles were in a good mood. The closer to the second half of the game, the more the Clippers entered the rotation.
In this case, even the 12th man of the team can get a lot of playing time.
Paul has been in a bad mood recently. As the results of the All-Star voting are about to be announced, he feels even worse. He really doesn't want to be a substitute.
Li Ze, who has already changed into his training uniform, naturally knows what Paul is thinking. It is really embarrassing for the champion point guard to play as a substitute:
"Stephen can be regarded as a combo player. Fans will definitely like high scores. Voting is a subjective impression, so don't care about the boring comments from the media."
Recently, both TNT and ESPN called Stephen Curry the number one point guard in the league. Li Ze naturally also saw the show. Paul is in a bad mood, which has a lot to do with the media fanning the flames.
Hearing Li Ze's words, Paul could only sigh helplessly, and then said in a low voice:
"Fans like high scores. It's normal for Stephen to be popular. They just think it's better to keep Los Angeles to rest as a substitute."
As soon as Griffin heard Paul's words, he immediately took over:
"Our coach will most likely become the head coach of the All-Star Game. Going up to collect points and win prizes is much more interesting than staying at home!"
The surface brother is still thinking about the MVP of the All-Star Game. After saying this, he raised an eyebrow at Li Ze, indicating that this year he still has to rely on his thighs.
The Clippers are discussing the All-Star issue here, and on the other side, Irving is also a little upset after he is off the court.
18中10,其中三分球6中3,罚球7中6,29分4篮板5助攻1抢断3失误,欧文觉得自己正常,结果却大比分输球。
Thinking about the voting in the All-Star Game, there is a high probability that he will lose to Wall, and he will sit back on the bench without saying a word.
18中8,其中三分球6中2,罚球10中6,24分7篮板6助攻1抢断5失误,拿到这样的数据,詹姆斯也知道全明星想拉票更难了。
JR-Smith felt that the atmosphere was not right, but there was nothing he could do about it. The two star players were pulling their faces together. The atmosphere couldn't be better!
When the final buzzer sounded, the fans in the Staples Center cheered and celebrated again.
101:126, the Clippers easily defeated the Cavaliers, 36 wins and 4 losses, this record is heaven!
After the loss, coach David Blatt still smiled and shook hands with coach Denagro, 20 wins and 21 losses. If he continues to lose in the future, maybe he really has to dismiss get out of class
The Cavaliers lost too simply, which caused the heat of this game to drop a lot. In addition, LeBron James' speech after the game was impeccable, which made the media vote for another game.
In the game between the Warriors and the Thunder that night, Durant returned from injury!
At 115:127, in an offensive battle, the Thunder and Juniors finally had the last laugh.
出场39分钟,18中14,其中三分球5中3,罚球5中5,36分9篮板4助攻1抢断2失误。
Durant's performance stunned the critics, he was unstoppable!And this kind of efficiency is very familiar to everyone, isn't this the same data as Li Ze?
Although the Thunder won, the Oklahoma City fans cursed again after the game:
"If Kayce is still on the team, we will win all the championships! The rubbish management should eat shit!"
After the game against the Cavaliers, the Clippers flew to Sacramento on the second day to challenge the Kings back to back.
In the game that night, Cousins was truce due to injury, and the Clippers rotated a large area. In the end, at 117:108, they defeated their opponents with some difficulty and continued to lead the league.
Since the Clippers played 1 games in 7 days at the end of January, the coaching staff did not conduct much training in the following days.
On January 1, the fans of the Lakers broke the defense again. In the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, Kobe broke through a dunk and strained his right shoulder, which eventually caused a torn rotator tendon.
Although Kobe wanted to continue to play with injuries, the serious shoulder injury basically prevented him from shooting. In this case, after a detailed inspection, the Lakers announced that Kobe would be reimbursed for the season.
12 wins and 31 losses. Although the fans know that the playoffs are hopeless, everyone still wants to see Kobe play an All-Star game. Unfortunately, the injury is relentless, and the Black Mamba will completely withdraw from the stage.
On the morning of the 23rd, the NBA announced the final results of the 2015 All-Star Game voting:
In the end, Li Ze was re-elected as the All-Star vote king with 1615869 votes.
排在第2名的库里151万票,第3名的安东尼戴维斯拿到了137万票,排在第4名的勒布朗-詹姆斯最终拿到了135万票,没能完成反超.
With the announcement of the voting results, the starting lineup for the 2015 All-Star Game has also been officially announced:
The Eastern Conference starters are:
Kyle Lowry, John Wall, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Pau Gasol.
The Western Conference starters are:
Li Ze, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Marc Gasol.
The Gasol brothers all entered the All-Star starting lineup, and Kyle Lowry accidentally completed a go-ahead in the final stage, squeezing Wade.
The final voting result naturally made some fans dissatisfied. On Reddit, a new round of tearing battles broke out.
Starting from the 25th, the Clippers ushered in a schedule of 7 games in 5 days, and flew randomly in consecutive away games.
After losing to the Pelicans on January 1, the Clippers flew non-stop to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away.
The state of the Clippers in this game was mediocre. Fortunately, the opposing Spurs were also extremely stretched.
The good news is that the Warriors also lost recently, with 38 wins and 8 losses, and the Clippers opened up a gap of 4 wins.
The bad news is that Griffin has a problem with his right elbow, a bacterial infection.
On February 2st, the Clippers flew to New York, and tomorrow night they will challenge the Nets away.
There is no pressure on the schedule, but everyone is more concerned about Griffin's injury situation.
Because they didn't believe in the medical level of San Antonio, the superficial brothers came to the New York Special Hospital, and the test results were exactly the same.
After returning to the hotel, Griffin seemed a little depressed. The doctor suggested surgery as soon as possible. He also obviously felt the discomfort caused by his right elbow.
"There's no need to persist anymore. Surgery as soon as possible, before the playoffs, I will definitely be back to health!"
Seeing that the superficial brother intends to continue the game with injuries, Li Ze directly gave advice.
"Kayce is right, forget about these two days, and then you will definitely have to undergo surgery! There is no need to fight with injuries, and we don't have any pressure on the record."
Paul also rubbed the center of his brows. This season he was considered very healthy, but he did not expect that Griffin had no back problems, and his elbow was infected after the collision.
"Then my All-Star Game will be ruined. I want to play the All-Star Game in New York!"
Griffin is still a little reconciled, he is still thinking about the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game.
As soon as Matt Barnes heard Griffin's words, he immediately retorted:
"In the future, you will be selected for the All-Star Game every year. There is no need to care about this time! This season we have a chance to achieve three consecutive championships. The playoffs are the most important!"
Everyone in the atmosphere group also talked about persuasion, and the coaching staff also did psychological work. In the end, Griffin could only accept the arrangement and undergo surgery before the All-Star game.
The Clippers officially announced to the NBA that Griffin will miss this year's All-Star Game due to a right elbow injury.
After the news was confirmed by the league, the fans of the Clippers were shocked. The injury that required surgery sounded serious!
Fans asked questions under the official Twitter of the Clippers, and sent blessings to the superficial brothers by the way. The final response was that Griffin would return from injury at the end of the regular season and would not affect the playoffs.
On the night of February 2, the Clippers challenged the Nets in an away game. The game hadn’t even started yet. In the Barclays Center, the New York fans who entered the stadium early held whiteboards:
"Kayce, we need you!"
Since the 2015 All-Star Game was hosted by New York, there are two teams in one city. Finally, after negotiation, the single challenge match of the All-Star Game will be held in the Barclays Center Arena, and the All-Star Game will return to Madison Square Garden. museum.
The fans in Brooklyn hope that Li Ze can participate in the individual challenge, and everyone hopes to see a wonderful All-Star Weekend.
Fans in New York have been jumping up and down on social media recently, and a voting activity was launched on Reddit, hoping that Li Ze can participate in the three-pointer contest and the slam dunk contest.
The media in New York also followed suit, discussing every day in the past few days whether Li Ze can win the championship in the slam dunk contest.
When Li Ze was warming up before the game, he was surrounded by a large group of New York media. Seeing Li Ze finished warming up, they all gathered around:
"Kayce, will you participate in individual competitions this year, fans in New York hope to see you in the Barclays Center Arena!"
"Kayce, New York needs you! I believe the fans have had enough of the boring dunk contest!"
"Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are going to be in the [-]-point shootout, Kayce, does that put pressure on you?"
Hearing the media chattering non-stop and not giving him a chance to speak, Li Ze waved his hands quickly, and waited until everyone was quiet before smiling and saying:
"Okay! Guys! Don't worry! I will participate in the individual competition this year! Thank you New York fans for your enthusiastic support. Of course, I will not show mercy to tonight's game!"
Hearing Li Ze's affirmative answer, some young reporters immediately cheered, this is big news!As for the outcome of the game tonight, no one cares.
The Nets are currently 18 wins and 28 losses, Mao Xiong Kaizi's All-Star plan has been completely bankrupted, New York fans actually don't pay attention to the situation of the Nets at all.
On the other side of the ocean, the fans are very concerned about the game between the Clippers and the Nets. After all, it is the Chinese Derby twice a year, so everyone likes it!
However, in the game that night, the UAE was dressed casually and sat on the bench with a smile on his face.
Last year's playoffs, the UAE also performed well, coupled with the happy cooperation with Lopez, the two of them have one inside and one outside, and they also got a three-year contract of $3 during the offseason.
Already fully adapted to the NBA, UAE, who is good at fishing, readily accepted it. However, in the game at the end of January, he twisted his knee while fighting for rebounds. Recently, he can only sit on the bench.
Doc Rivers signed his son to the Nets this season after arriving in New York
However, due to the team's frequent injuries recently, Rivers is also preparing to play badly.
The suspense disappeared early in the game. In the second half of the third quarter, Li Ze sat on the bench and watched Austin Reeves rush into the inside after shaking and breaking through, and ended the iron with his right hand. He almost laughed out loud.
The first step is excellent, but the final finish is really stretched, and the projection is also very unstable
Noticing the head coach Rivers who was still "Let's go!" on the sidelines, Li Ze was in a happy mood:
"It's great without Rivers"
Thank you for your subscription support~
Just caught fish and watched the last quarter of the Mavericks game,

(End of this chapter)
David Blatter has made great achievements in Europe. In 07, he led the Russian team to win the European Championship. In the 12 London Olympics, the Russian team also won the bronze medal.
After helping the Maccabi Club win the European Basketball Championship, David Blatt was also selected as the "European League Head Coach of the Year".
Perhaps due to studying at Princeton University as a student and playing under legendary coach Pete Carrier, David Blatt liked Princeton tactics.
This famous European coach is good at communicating with players, so after coaching the Cavaliers, Amelia's media reporters all think that he is the most suitable head coach for LeBron James.
But after actually coaching an NBA team, David Blatt was also a little numb. Dealing with player relationships was much more difficult than he imagined.
Coupled with the pervasive media, even every substitution will trigger a discussion.
In the game against the Clippers, head coach David Blatt simply replaced James briefly after the official timeout in accordance with usual practice, and replaced James again with 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter.
As a result, such a routine operation, the sports reporters on the scene followed suit and complained:
"The Cavaliers fell behind in the first quarter, and it is the responsibility of the head coach. He should let LeBron play the first quarter!"
The emergence of Twitter has turned the NBA game into a quarter theory. At 26:33, the Cavaliers fell behind by 7 points in the first quarter. Some sports media couldn't sit still, and various comments on Twitter emerged one after another.
Coach David Blatt of course cannot see the speech on social media at the moment. At this time, he is worried about how to defend Li Ze.
In the London Olympics in 12, head coach David Blatt had already seen Li Ze's ability, but after more than two years, he found that Li Ze was stronger than before!
In the first quarter of the game, JR-Smith and Mike Miller basically gave away for nothing. The 37-year-old veteran Sean Marion couldn't keep up, and only LeBron James' defense was somewhat effective.
Therefore, during the timeout, coach David Blatt immediately made a matchup adjustment:
"LeBron! We need you to switch in front of Lee, and we can't let him continue to score easily!"
In the Staples Arena, the noise on the scene was getting louder and louder. When James heard the head coach's loud request, he could only pull his face and nodded in agreement.
Kyrie Irving on the side sipped water, but he was not optimistic about this matchup:
"If this matchup worked, maybe LeBron would have won the championship long ago!"
He didn't care about it in his heart, and naturally showed an indifferent attitude on his face. Although he also recognized James' ability, in many cases, Owen didn't care about James' thoughts at all, and he could fight as he wanted!
"Kyrie Irving played well, 4 of 3, including 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points in a single quarter. LeBron performed quite well, 5 of 2, and scored 4 points."
"It seems that coach David Blatt will not only worry about defensive resources tonight, if LeBron can't open this, the Cavaliers' offense will also have problems!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan noticed that James had stood up and was about to appear on the stage, and immediately introduced the importance of James.
"I'm not optimistic about this rotation. The Cavaliers' defense is the biggest problem right now."
"Kayce made 7 of 5 in the first quarter, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and easily scored 15 points. The Cavaliers' perimeter defense can be said to be useless. LeBron needs to assume the responsibility of the leader."
Reggie Miller took the opportunity to output with all his strength. In the first quarter of the game, LeBron James only switched to the front of Li Ze twice
On the Clippers' bench, coach De Nagro simply told the players on rotation:
"Jockic, after coming on the court, protect the backcourt rebound!"
Jokic nodded immediately, while Hawes on the side looked depressed. Since the injury, Jokic has successfully taken the position, which took him a lot of playing time.
The Cavaliers have a small lineup of Dellavedova, Marion, James, Mike Miller, and Tristan Thompson.
The Clippers also just got Paul, Crawford, Dudley, Tucker, and Jokic.
Since Griffin's back discomfort, head coach De Nagro has increased his rotation and tried to keep Griffin's playing time below 37 minutes.
保罗第1节3中1,拿到2分1篮板6助攻,面对欧文的防守,他并没有勉强进攻。
The height of the rotation lineup is a bit disadvantageous. Paul noticed that James forced the inside line in the first round, causing Dudley's foul, and immediately frowned slightly.
"Jockic, pay attention to protect the basket and control the defensive position!"
Paul's reminder suddenly made Jokic a little bit overwhelmed. Tristan Thompson's pick-and-roll, he needs to guard against the opponent's roll, and more importantly, without Li Ze's barrier, LeBron James can easily break through.
Seeing James hit the iron for the second free throw and Jokic protected the backcourt rebound, the Staples Center immediately burst into cheers.
The Clippers' rotation and style of play have also undergone some changes. Since Jokic was found to be able to handle the ball, except for Paul's pick-and-roll, the white fat man spends more time standing in the left and right elbows of the free throw line.
Passed the ball directly after halftime, then Paul cut in without the ball, and then quickly ran to the left corner, taking advantage of the opportunity to set a screen for Crawford.
Marion strictly guarded Crawford, preventing the opponent from coming to the left flank beyond the three-point line for hand-off passes.
The Cavaliers' defensive attention came online to attract. At this time, Dudley suddenly moved down in the right block position and made an off-ball screen for Tucker in the right corner.
James was still directing his teammates to pay attention to the line defense just now, and subconsciously followed Dudley to move. As a result, Tucker suddenly cut in along the baseline with the help of a cover, which caught him off guard.
Before he had time to react, Tucker at the bottom right of the basket received a pass from Jokic and made a quick layup!
Hearing the cheers from the fans at the scene, James' face turned darker. He only paid attention to Paul and Crawford. He didn't expect the Clippers' role players to be so proactive.
The defense leaked, and the commentator Kevin Harlan was embarrassed to explain that it was James, but Reggie Miller said without hesitation:
"This is the confidence brought by the championship. Of course, this is not the first time the Clippers have used this simple Flex Offense. LeBron's defense is careless!"
In the next few minutes, LeBron James was fully fired, hitting mid-range and three-pointers consecutively, neither Dudley nor Tucker could limit James' explosion.
But the point difference has not been narrowed. Paul's mid-range, Jokic's pass, and Crawford's breakthrough have always kept the Clippers ahead.
This time the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James went inside, noticed that Jokic was shrinking to the basket, and immediately gave it to Tristan Thompson who went down the middle.
The latter received the pass and subconsciously released the ball to adjust. As a result, he encountered Tucker, who was shrinking defensively, and almost dropped the ball. Tristan Thompson hurriedly threw the ball to Mike Miller in the left corner, followed by an open three-pointer Jump shot!
"state!"
The rebound popped up and was immediately accepted by Jokic. Tristan Thompson saw the fat man dribbling the ball directly, and immediately wanted to step forward to cut the ball, but Jokic dribbled easily behind the back of his left hand.
Everyone in the Cavaliers didn't expect Jokic to rush with the ball at all. The cheers of the fans came from the ears, and they saw that the white fat man had already rushed to the center line and was still accelerating.
LeBron James was so angry that he quickly caught up from behind, only to find that Jokic, who was marching to the free throw line, flicked the ball secretly, and the ball fell directly into the hands of Dudley on the left wing outside the three-point line.
Converting the three-pointer to no defense, Dudley took a glance, and then quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
In the Staples Arena, the fans were all happy, and the center pushed back, which is a rare scene.
Coach David Blatt stood on the sidelines, frowning, and waited until Sean Marion fouled in the next two rounds, and returned to the main lineup in one breath.
The Clippers are still in regular rotation. When the game entered the official timeout with 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Ze returned with the main lineup and Paul took a rest.
At this time, the score on the field was 40:47, and the Clippers still led by 7 points.
Assistant coach Tyronn Lue, who was sitting on the bench, saw that James seemed ready to play the second quarter and nodded accordingly.
He has received an invitation from the Cavaliers and is preparing to join the Cavaliers coaching staff next season.
Tyronn Lu believes that head coach David Blatt will have to dismiss get out of class sooner or later. The media has already begun to criticize the famous European coach, and then his chance will come.
LeBron James saw Li Ze dribbling the ball with his right hand across the half court, and quickly scored 12 points.
Irving noticed that Crawford in front of him began to move to the left corner, and immediately knew that the Clippers were ready to play.
I just wanted to remind James that Li Ze, who was at the top of the arc, suddenly pushed the ball and changed direction, then dribbled the ball under the crotch extremely quickly with his left hand. After lowering the center of gravity of his body, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
LeBron James reacted very quickly and slid back to the left with all his might. When Li Ze was approaching the free throw line, he suddenly pulled his crotch back sharply. James had not had time to adjust his defensive center of gravity and did not slow down. breakthrough!
The fans at the scene saw Li Ze easily breaking through James' defense, and immediately cheered loudly. He cut into the paint from the middle, and Tristan Thompson under the basket immediately assisted in the defense.
After jumping up to attack the frame, ignoring physical confrontation, Li Ze made a false pass, and the ball fell from the opponent's side to Griffin at the bottom right of the basket.
After receiving the pass at the basket, Griffin didn't make any adjustments, just dunked the ball!
"Boom!" Eating cakes and dunking successfully!
The Clippers' bench was full of joy, one-on-one against James, shrimp and pig hearts!
Griffin, who completed the dunk, screamed for a while. The cake was delicious. LeBron James pinched his waist with both hands and stopped at the free throw line.
Feeling very helpless, even after losing weight, facing Li Ze's breakthrough one-on-one, he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm. After gaining weight, his defensive agility couldn't come back.
For two consecutive rounds, Li Ze assisted Griffin and Jordan to eat cakes respectively. Facing the defense of Crawford or Barnes, Irving also played like a duck to water, and twice rushed to the basket and assisted Tristan Thompson. Success in eating cakes.
In order not to get the third foul too early, Griffin's defense was also a little restrained. Li Ze saw that Irving became active again, and when he was serving from the baseline, he immediately made this gesture of switching defenses.
James noticed that Griffin wanted to come to the pick-and-roll on the three-point line again, so he took a step ahead and posted anti-interference with Li Ze.
Facing James' defense, Li Ze first raised the center of gravity of his body, held the ball in his right hand and pretended to break through, then suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around quickly.
Cleverly throwing off James' defense, Tristan Thompson saw Griffin going down, but he didn't dare to step forward and delay, so he could only retreat.
The fans at the scene screamed again. LeBron James lost his defensive position. Seeing that Li Ze had broken through to the elbow on the right side of the free throw line, he quickly chased and defended.
Just coming to the left side of Li Ze, James failed to make a defensive move, and saw Li Ze turn around quickly with his left foot as the axis, and bypassed his defense again.
Seeing that Li Ze was about to turn to the basket to complete the attack, James turned around and immediately rushed towards Li Ze. The two collided in the air. Throw!
"Crack! Squeak!"
Hearing the referee's whistle, James turned his head subconsciously, only to see the ball stumbling into the basket after hitting the board
In the Staples Arena, the fans began to cheer loudly. JR-Smith noticed that James was getting darker and couldn't say much.
He originally wanted to switch to Li Ze, but this involved the face of the superstar, so he could only silently stand outside the three-point line and watch Li Ze make a free throw.
In the next round, the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James wanted to save face, and noticed that the defender in front of him was replaced by Barnes, and the left wing outside the three-point line quickly asked for the ball.
It turned out that Owen was fighting Li Ze at the top of the arc, and he didn't even look at him.
The cheers of the fans made Owen more energetic. Facing Li Ze's defense, he lowered his body's center of gravity, held the ball in his right hand, dribbled back with a cross step, and then dribbled with his crotch and changed forward.
While shaking his body to the left, he slightly in and out with his left hand, and then quickly changed direction again, finally finding a chance, and Owen, who was holding the ball in his right hand, accelerated with all his strength.
Although Li Ze lost his defensive position in an instant, his reaction was also fast. While Owen accelerated, he immediately slid to the left and rear, and at the same time, he concealed his opponent's physical confrontation.
The body collided, which immediately slowed Owen down, and then Li Ze immediately cut the ball with his left hand. Owen immediately used his left foot as the axis and pulled the ball back with his right hand.
As if he felt that he was shaking out of the shooting space, Owen quickly turned around, and then made a mid-range fadeaway jumper!
As soon as the ball came out of his hand, Owen just felt that he had the ball, when he found Li Ze soaring into the air, with a big cap on his head and face!
"Oh!!"
The Staples Arena exploded in an instant, the fans screamed with excitement, the ball bounced to the floor, Li Ze took advantage of the momentum and jumped forward, took the ball with his left hand, and immediately launched a conversion attack.
Before everyone in the Cavaliers could react, James, who was on the flank, was already at full speed, chasing and defending desperately.
Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, continued to accelerate, and he naturally spotted the movement of James behind him. The Chosen One looked ferocious, and he was about to break the defense, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
James thought that Li Ze would choose to dunk the end, but Li Ze had just dribbled past the three-point line and suddenly dribbled sideways behind his back.
After an emergency stop, Li Ze withdrew suddenly, making James, who was chasing all he could, numb. His body was so inertial that he couldn't react at all. He stopped at the free throw line and watched Li Ze make an easy shot at the top of the arc!
"Kayce! Knocks down the three ball!"
"He's heating up!"
The exaggerated conversion of the three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan completely overwhelmed and screamed with excitement.
Li Ze scored 6 points in a row, and the score instantly became 44:57. The Clippers widened the point difference to 13 points.
Head coach David Blatt only felt that Li Ze's offensive choices were outrageous, and at the same time he was pissed off by Irving's last round, so he immediately requested a timeout.
James, who was chasing after him, looked very embarrassed. When he saw Owen interacting with Li Ze with a smile, he was almost blown away. When he walked to the bench, he immediately cursed in a low voice:
"Shet!"
In the last few minutes of the first half, Li Ze began to slow down, and the Clippers frequently started attacking positions, not giving the Cavaliers any chance to switch.
LeBron James was depressed to find that as long as the pick-and-roll breaks through, the Clippers will shrink their defense. Without Li Ze's line of defense, Griffin and Jordan are waiting for him inside.
With Tristan Thompson spitting cake at the basket, the first half of the game officially ended.
At 51:64, the Clippers entered the second half with a 13-point lead.
During the intermission, the sports reporters of Amerika couldn't stay idle, and many people followed suit and tweeted:
"The Cavaliers are completely finished! They have no hope of winning the championship this year!"
"Head coach David Blatt let James play the full second quarter? Get out of class!"
In the commentary seat of TNT, Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hands and was a little speechless. The commentator Kevin Harlan said slightly at this time:
"Kayce must have paid attention to James' shots. The data of the two is very interesting!"
“詹姆斯半场11中4,其中三分球3中1,罚球5中2,拿到11分3篮板4助攻4失误。”
“Kayce半场11中8,其中三分球5中3,罚球6中6,砍下25分4篮板4助攻2抢断1盖帽1失误。”
Reggie Miller shook his head helplessly, and said with emotion:
"This is not the game I want to see. Fans want the Cavaliers to play well together, not to watch Irving and James play alone."
"All 5 players on the field need to touch the ball. Kayce did a better job. In the second half of the game, he conceded more chances, and James played too hesitantly in the last few minutes, and there were two low-level shots. Bad pass."
In the Cavaliers locker room, the atmosphere was a bit silent, mainly because LeBron James broke the defense a bit. In previous games, even if he fell behind at halftime, James would encourage his teammates.
But tonight, after returning to the locker room, the Chosen One just sat in his seat without saying a word.
It seems that recalling the experience of the past 4 years, James only feels tired, and when he sees the statistics, the corner of his mouth twitches, shrimp and pig heart.
Irving was in a good mood. In the first half of the game, he was the only one who played the best in the Cavaliers. He scored 9 of 5 points and scored 16 points. He had already expected James' performance, so naturally he would not be disappointed.
After David Blatt head coach came to the locker room, he naturally noticed the emotions of the players, and immediately raised his voice and said encouragingly:
"We still have halftime to play, the difference is only 13 points, we still have a chance to win the game!"
"Defense! Everyone needs to pay attention to defense, we must show a tough defensive attitude!"
The dry layout made everyone in the Cavaliers feel even worse. Everyone felt that it would be better to take the opportunity to shout "Let's go!" to talk about these tactical requirements.
At the Staples Center, the Clippers fans have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game. They have seen this kind of game many times. Leading by more than 10 points, the Clippers never capsize!
After the start of the third quarter, Paul, who rested for half a quarter, finally found his touch. After the opening, he hit the mid-range pick-and-roll consecutively.
On the Cavaliers' side, Irving also let go of his hands and feet, basically taking the ball and doing it. Facing Paul's defense, he looked extremely confident and kept scoring points.
The duel between the two star guards also made the fans hooked.
This time the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James finally received the pass, looking at Li Ze in front of him, he was extremely depressed.
The left flank outside the three-point line called for a pick-and-roll. Mozgov had just stood on the three-point line. James immediately held the ball in his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough.
Li Ze walked off the line to defend, and quickly slid to block James' breakthrough route. The two got entangled in the paint area, and Griffin immediately stepped forward to help defend.
Seeing that a two-person pinch was about to form, James hit the ground behind him and passed the ball. Tristan Thompson missed the first pass. Just after releasing the ball to adjust, Griffin's defense came up again.
Tristan Thompson wanted to take advantage of the situation to lift the ball forcefully to cause a foul, but the ball was cut off by Li Ze as soon as it reached his chest.
Seeing Li Ze regain control of the ball, the fans cheered again. Everyone in the Cavaliers was completely paralyzed, and their offensive routines were figured out.
The head coach David Blatt on the sidelines frowned, but at this moment he remembered Love's goodness. With two big men, the offense was really constipated
Seeing Li Ze dribble the ball across the half court, JR-Smith immediately put up defense in advance.
After adjustments in the midfield, LeBron James finally decided to focus on offense, and the defensive task was transferred to JR-Smith.
The right flank outside the three-point line, although Li Ze was a little close to the sideline, but JR-Smith did not dare to rush up. Once the defense lost its position, he was crushed and broke through instantly.
Li Ze first glanced at the inside position, and then noticed that JR-Smith was still a small step away from him. His body suddenly swayed to the left.
JR-Smith was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, he saw Li Ze blowing the ball on the spot, taking a long-distance retreat for a three-pointer and quickly shooting a jumper!
"Oh——!"
“The long-range bomb is good!”
The long-range three-pointer made the commentator Kevin Harlan subconsciously exclaim, and then immediately yelled, he had never seen this scene.
The fans cheered continuously, and JR-Smith saw Li Ze raised three fingers and retreated slowly. He was numb, and he was still one step away from the three-point line.
At 59:75, the point difference was widened to 16 points. Everyone in the Cavaliers had completely lost their temper, and Irving was also a little confused. Li Ze did not show such aggression in the previous two years of fighting.
Although the Cavaliers are still scoring and Irving is fully fired, the point difference has not narrowed, and the defensive end has nothing to do with the pick-and-roll.
In this round, Jordan's pick-and-roll quality is good. Li Ze, who holds the ball in his right hand, throws off JR-Smith at the top of the arc. Mozgov doesn't know how to defend for a while.
At the moment of hesitation, he saw that Li Ze had drifted to the right in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line and completed a fadeaway jumper. As soon as Mozgov heard the cheers of the fans, he knew he had scored again
With the combination of sudden shots, everyone on the Cavaliers became more and more confused. After Li Ze scored consecutive mid-range shots, head coach David Blatt replaced Marion and Mozgov went off, making the lineup smaller.
The result was useless. Faced with Li Ze's breakthrough, Marion could only choose to foul.
Reggie Miller saw Li Ze standing on the free throw line, and immediately said unceremoniously:
"The game is over. I don't see any signs of the Cavaliers fighting back. Irving is very good, but basketball is for 5 people."
"LeBron James also needs to stand up on the defensive end. You can't expect JR Smith to suddenly become an elite defender. Marion is also 37 years old. Faced with such a defense, Kayce will only score easily."
At the end of the third quarter, as Griffin ate the cake, scored consecutively in the low post and mid-range, the Clippers further widened the point difference.
24:32 in a single quarter, after three quarters, 75:96, the game completely lost its suspense.
During the break between festivals, the sports media at the scene were also a little confused. In the Staples Arena, the big screen was displaying the data of Li Ze's three games.
18中13,其中三分球7中4,罚球10中10,40分6篮板6助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误。
With 40 points in three quarters, thinking of this, some sports media secretly scolded the Knicks for being inappropriate. If Li Ze’s 30+ record continues, how much traffic will this attract?
Li Zemei, who was sitting on the bench, ate the orange happily. He was not interested in appearing in the fourth quarter.
Coach De Nagro first took the rotation lineup, and saw that the Cavaliers basically changed to the atmosphere group. After playing for more than two minutes, the Clippers also changed immediately.
For nearly a quarter of the game, Jokic and Ingles were in a good mood. The closer to the second half of the game, the more the Clippers entered the rotation.
In this case, even the 12th man of the team can get a lot of playing time.
Paul has been in a bad mood recently. As the results of the All-Star voting are about to be announced, he feels even worse. He really doesn't want to be a substitute.
Li Ze, who has already changed into his training uniform, naturally knows what Paul is thinking. It is really embarrassing for the champion point guard to play as a substitute:
"Stephen can be regarded as a combo player. Fans will definitely like high scores. Voting is a subjective impression, so don't care about the boring comments from the media."
Recently, both TNT and ESPN called Stephen Curry the number one point guard in the league. Li Ze naturally also saw the show. Paul is in a bad mood, which has a lot to do with the media fanning the flames.
Hearing Li Ze's words, Paul could only sigh helplessly, and then said in a low voice:
"Fans like high scores. It's normal for Stephen to be popular. They just think it's better to keep Los Angeles to rest as a substitute."
As soon as Griffin heard Paul's words, he immediately took over:
"Our coach will most likely become the head coach of the All-Star Game. Going up to collect points and win prizes is much more interesting than staying at home!"
The surface brother is still thinking about the MVP of the All-Star Game. After saying this, he raised an eyebrow at Li Ze, indicating that this year he still has to rely on his thighs.
The Clippers are discussing the All-Star issue here, and on the other side, Irving is also a little upset after he is off the court.
18中10,其中三分球6中3,罚球7中6,29分4篮板5助攻1抢断3失误,欧文觉得自己正常,结果却大比分输球。
Thinking about the voting in the All-Star Game, there is a high probability that he will lose to Wall, and he will sit back on the bench without saying a word.
18中8,其中三分球6中2,罚球10中6,24分7篮板6助攻1抢断5失误,拿到这样的数据,詹姆斯也知道全明星想拉票更难了。
JR-Smith felt that the atmosphere was not right, but there was nothing he could do about it. The two star players were pulling their faces together. The atmosphere couldn't be better!
When the final buzzer sounded, the fans in the Staples Center cheered and celebrated again.
101:126, the Clippers easily defeated the Cavaliers, 36 wins and 4 losses, this record is heaven!
After the loss, coach David Blatt still smiled and shook hands with coach Denagro, 20 wins and 21 losses. If he continues to lose in the future, maybe he really has to dismiss get out of class
The Cavaliers lost too simply, which caused the heat of this game to drop a lot. In addition, LeBron James' speech after the game was impeccable, which made the media vote for another game.
In the game between the Warriors and the Thunder that night, Durant returned from injury!
At 115:127, in an offensive battle, the Thunder and Juniors finally had the last laugh.
出场39分钟,18中14,其中三分球5中3,罚球5中5,36分9篮板4助攻1抢断2失误。
Durant's performance stunned the critics, he was unstoppable!And this kind of efficiency is very familiar to everyone, isn't this the same data as Li Ze?
Although the Thunder won, the Oklahoma City fans cursed again after the game:
"If Kayce is still on the team, we will win all the championships! The rubbish management should eat shit!"
After the game against the Cavaliers, the Clippers flew to Sacramento on the second day to challenge the Kings back to back.
In the game that night, Cousins was truce due to injury, and the Clippers rotated a large area. In the end, at 117:108, they defeated their opponents with some difficulty and continued to lead the league.
Since the Clippers played 1 games in 7 days at the end of January, the coaching staff did not conduct much training in the following days.
On January 1, the fans of the Lakers broke the defense again. In the game between the Lakers and the Pelicans, Kobe broke through a dunk and strained his right shoulder, which eventually caused a torn rotator tendon.
Although Kobe wanted to continue to play with injuries, the serious shoulder injury basically prevented him from shooting. In this case, after a detailed inspection, the Lakers announced that Kobe would be reimbursed for the season.
12 wins and 31 losses. Although the fans know that the playoffs are hopeless, everyone still wants to see Kobe play an All-Star game. Unfortunately, the injury is relentless, and the Black Mamba will completely withdraw from the stage.
On the morning of the 23rd, the NBA announced the final results of the 2015 All-Star Game voting:
In the end, Li Ze was re-elected as the All-Star vote king with 1615869 votes.
排在第2名的库里151万票,第3名的安东尼戴维斯拿到了137万票,排在第4名的勒布朗-詹姆斯最终拿到了135万票,没能完成反超.
With the announcement of the voting results, the starting lineup for the 2015 All-Star Game has also been officially announced:
The Eastern Conference starters are:
Kyle Lowry, John Wall, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Pau Gasol.
The Western Conference starters are:
Li Ze, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Marc Gasol.
The Gasol brothers all entered the All-Star starting lineup, and Kyle Lowry accidentally completed a go-ahead in the final stage, squeezing Wade.
The final voting result naturally made some fans dissatisfied. On Reddit, a new round of tearing battles broke out.
Starting from the 25th, the Clippers ushered in a schedule of 7 games in 5 days, and flew randomly in consecutive away games.
After losing to the Pelicans on January 1, the Clippers flew non-stop to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs away.
The state of the Clippers in this game was mediocre. Fortunately, the opposing Spurs were also extremely stretched.
The good news is that the Warriors also lost recently, with 38 wins and 8 losses, and the Clippers opened up a gap of 4 wins.
The bad news is that Griffin has a problem with his right elbow, a bacterial infection.
On February 2st, the Clippers flew to New York, and tomorrow night they will challenge the Nets away.
There is no pressure on the schedule, but everyone is more concerned about Griffin's injury situation.
Because they didn't believe in the medical level of San Antonio, the superficial brothers came to the New York Special Hospital, and the test results were exactly the same.
After returning to the hotel, Griffin seemed a little depressed. The doctor suggested surgery as soon as possible. He also obviously felt the discomfort caused by his right elbow.
"There's no need to persist anymore. Surgery as soon as possible, before the playoffs, I will definitely be back to health!"
Seeing that the superficial brother intends to continue the game with injuries, Li Ze directly gave advice.
"Kayce is right, forget about these two days, and then you will definitely have to undergo surgery! There is no need to fight with injuries, and we don't have any pressure on the record."
Paul also rubbed the center of his brows. This season he was considered very healthy, but he did not expect that Griffin had no back problems, and his elbow was infected after the collision.
"Then my All-Star Game will be ruined. I want to play the All-Star Game in New York!"
Griffin is still a little reconciled, he is still thinking about the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game.
As soon as Matt Barnes heard Griffin's words, he immediately retorted:
"In the future, you will be selected for the All-Star Game every year. There is no need to care about this time! This season we have a chance to achieve three consecutive championships. The playoffs are the most important!"
Everyone in the atmosphere group also talked about persuasion, and the coaching staff also did psychological work. In the end, Griffin could only accept the arrangement and undergo surgery before the All-Star game.
The Clippers officially announced to the NBA that Griffin will miss this year's All-Star Game due to a right elbow injury.
After the news was confirmed by the league, the fans of the Clippers were shocked. The injury that required surgery sounded serious!
Fans asked questions under the official Twitter of the Clippers, and sent blessings to the superficial brothers by the way. The final response was that Griffin would return from injury at the end of the regular season and would not affect the playoffs.
On the night of February 2, the Clippers challenged the Nets in an away game. The game hadn’t even started yet. In the Barclays Center, the New York fans who entered the stadium early held whiteboards:
"Kayce, we need you!"
Since the 2015 All-Star Game was hosted by New York, there are two teams in one city. Finally, after negotiation, the single challenge match of the All-Star Game will be held in the Barclays Center Arena, and the All-Star Game will return to Madison Square Garden. museum.
The fans in Brooklyn hope that Li Ze can participate in the individual challenge, and everyone hopes to see a wonderful All-Star Weekend.
Fans in New York have been jumping up and down on social media recently, and a voting activity was launched on Reddit, hoping that Li Ze can participate in the three-pointer contest and the slam dunk contest.
The media in New York also followed suit, discussing every day in the past few days whether Li Ze can win the championship in the slam dunk contest.
When Li Ze was warming up before the game, he was surrounded by a large group of New York media. Seeing Li Ze finished warming up, they all gathered around:
"Kayce, will you participate in individual competitions this year, fans in New York hope to see you in the Barclays Center Arena!"
"Kayce, New York needs you! I believe the fans have had enough of the boring dunk contest!"
"Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are going to be in the [-]-point shootout, Kayce, does that put pressure on you?"
Hearing the media chattering non-stop and not giving him a chance to speak, Li Ze waved his hands quickly, and waited until everyone was quiet before smiling and saying:
"Okay! Guys! Don't worry! I will participate in the individual competition this year! Thank you New York fans for your enthusiastic support. Of course, I will not show mercy to tonight's game!"
Hearing Li Ze's affirmative answer, some young reporters immediately cheered, this is big news!As for the outcome of the game tonight, no one cares.
The Nets are currently 18 wins and 28 losses, Mao Xiong Kaizi's All-Star plan has been completely bankrupted, New York fans actually don't pay attention to the situation of the Nets at all.
On the other side of the ocean, the fans are very concerned about the game between the Clippers and the Nets. After all, it is the Chinese Derby twice a year, so everyone likes it!
However, in the game that night, the UAE was dressed casually and sat on the bench with a smile on his face.
Last year's playoffs, the UAE also performed well, coupled with the happy cooperation with Lopez, the two of them have one inside and one outside, and they also got a three-year contract of $3 during the offseason.
Already fully adapted to the NBA, UAE, who is good at fishing, readily accepted it. However, in the game at the end of January, he twisted his knee while fighting for rebounds. Recently, he can only sit on the bench.
Doc Rivers signed his son to the Nets this season after arriving in New York
However, due to the team's frequent injuries recently, Rivers is also preparing to play badly.
The suspense disappeared early in the game. In the second half of the third quarter, Li Ze sat on the bench and watched Austin Reeves rush into the inside after shaking and breaking through, and ended the iron with his right hand. He almost laughed out loud.
The first step is excellent, but the final finish is really stretched, and the projection is also very unstable
Noticing the head coach Rivers who was still "Let's go!" on the sidelines, Li Ze was in a happy mood:
"It's great without Rivers"
