The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 358 Court pressure (chapter with ten thousand words)

In the 95-96 season, the Chicago Bulls were considered by the media in America to be the greatest team in NBA history.

常规赛打出了72胜10负的战绩，季后赛15胜3负，成功拿到了96年的NBA总冠军！
What fans talk about is the dominance of this Bulls team.

In the 95-96 season, in the selection of the best defensive team, the Bulls occupied three spots, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman.

The three of them tend to lock up their opponents completely through strong defense in the game. In addition, Harbaugh's defense is also disappointing. The Bulls warmed up in the first half and harvested the game in the second half.
Fans have been arguing for many years, thinking that such a record is difficult to break. Therefore, when the Clippers achieved a record of 14 wins in the 15-73 season, social media suddenly exploded.

On the night of the 14th, after the Suns became the background of history, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena exploded. The fans screamed and the players celebrated wildly. Li Ze kept pretending to be X in front of the camera.

The Clippers had already prepared the celebration ceremony, and Steve Ballmer hugged everyone, and the old man was crazy with joy.

As everyone came to the center of the field, the fans began to cheer excitedly again. Steve Ballmer took the microphone and immediately shouted happily:
"Oh!"

"73 wins and 9 losses, tonight, we witnessed a new record together! This is really great! The Clippers are the best team in the league!"

The old man yelled, and the fans at the scene continued to cheer:

"Kayce, come on! Our superstar, the fans must love your speech!"

Li Ze took the microphone and hugged Steve Ballmer to greet him. The old man led the Clippers behind him to applaud together, and the fans started to shout.

"As a member of the Clippers, I am very happy to see the team set a new record!"

"In the second half of the schedule, we also suffered from injuries. We understand how much effort we have put in to achieve such results, but it is not enough!"

"What does it take for the best record in history?"

Li Ze shouted this sentence loudly, and at the same time opened his hands, walked to the front row of the auditorium, and made a gesture of listening.

In the Staples Center, the fans shouted happily:

"Champion!!"

Hearing the shouts from the fans, Li Ze immediately nodded with a smile, and then said loudly again:
"Yes, champion! We need champions!
"Thanks to the Clippers for logging tiredness, and thanks to all the fans who supported us. The work of this season is not over yet. In June, the O'Brien Cup will come to Los Angeles again!"

"Oh oh!!"

"."

The Clippers celebrated wildly, and every other team got lemons.

The Thunder and Pelicans are still fighting for a playoff spot, and the two teams currently have the same wins.

If both sides win the game tomorrow night, then the Pelicans will successfully enter the Western Conference playoffs by virtue of their record advantage.

The NBA also sent blessings to the Clippers, and released the pre-made posters of the Clippers early on INS:
"The best record in history! Witness the birth of greatness!"

In addition to blessings, the official Twitter also launched a topic:
"73-win Clippers VS 72-win Bulls, which team will win?"

This kind of trouble-making question has always been the favorite of the media and fans. As soon as a question is raised, the comments below are torn into pieces.
On the morning of the 15th, the coaching staff of the Clippers announced a day off. Although they will usher in the first round of the playoffs in G18 on the 1th, after getting the best record in history, the players need to relax and spend time with their families by the way.

Paul is in a good mood to take care of his baby at home. This year he played 82 regular season games. This is the first time in his career that he is healthy and full attendance.

With injuries in the second half, Paul also increased his shots, and by the way, his average data per game increased a bit.

82场比赛，场均出场35.8分钟，拿到21.8分4.6篮板11.7助攻1.9抢断2.3失误；

He averaged 15.1 shots per game, shooting 51.2% from the field, 4.3 shots from beyond the three-point line, 40.8% from three-pointers, 4.3 free throws per game, and 90.0% from free throws.

When Paul got his stats today, he was really taken aback. He didn't expect that he would score in the 180 club this season.

This kind of performance is even slightly better than the data during the peak period of the 08-09 season. Paul is very satisfied with his physical condition to have such a performance after a serious injury.

Maintaining daily training during the day and watching the game at night, Clarey looked at her husband watching the game in addition to training, and immediately said helplessly:
"Chris, you've all got the best record in history, what are you still worried about, it's a rare vacation, go and spend time with little Paul, the playoffs are starting, and you're going to fly around again."

At this time, Paul is paying attention to the game between the Spurs and the Pelicans. If the Pelicans win in the end, they will successfully enter the playoffs.

Seeing the Spurs banging on the iron, Paul smiled and comforted his wife:
"There will be a lot of time during the offseason. At that time, we can go on vacation together. This year's playoffs are too important. I don't want to mess up this season."

Thinking of what might happen during the offseason, Clare couldn't help but whisper:
"Isn't it good to stay in Los Angeles? We have everything we need here."

Paul didn't say anything anymore, just thinking about his own state and the MVP he lost that year, he still secretly made up his mind:
"I will take back the honor that belongs to me!"

On the evening of the 15th, the regular season officially ended, and the competition for the 8th place in the Eastern and Western Leagues was very fierce.

Prior to this, the Nets had a record of 37 wins and 44 losses, just one win behind the 8th-placed Pacers.

After the game that night, the Nets successfully defeated the Magic 88:101, but the Pacers lost to the Grizzlies 83:95.

In this way, the records of the two sides were tied, and finally relying on the relationship between victory and defeat, the Nets successfully won the eighth position and entered the playoffs again.

The Tianchao fans were overjoyed, and they were able to see the UAE in the playoffs again. Although everyone knew that the statistics had not changed much, the fans were very satisfied after reaching the playoffs.

The competition for the 8th place in the West is also very fierce, 103:108, the Pelicans struggled to defeat the Spurs, and the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 138:113.

At the end of the last game, the records of both teams came to 45 wins and 37 losses. In the end, relying on the relationship between victory and defeat, the Pelicans beat the Thunder and successfully entered the playoffs.

Oklahoma City fans completely broke their defenses. Durant was reimbursed for the season after playing a few games this season. Turtle also suffered from injuries and played 67 games in the regular season.

If there were no injuries, even if Guigui had fewer injuries, perhaps the situation would be completely different.

A few years ago, they won two championships in a row. As a result, they lost even a playoff spot this season. Oklahoma City fans expressed their unacceptability.

That night, the regular season record rankings were also officially released, the Eastern Conference record rankings:

Hawks (60 wins), Cavaliers (53 wins), Bulls (50 wins), Raptors (49 wins);

Wizards (46 wins), Bucks (41 wins), Celtics (40 wins), Brooklyn Nets (38 wins).

Western Conference standings:

Clippers (73 wins), Warriors (67 wins), Rockets (56 wins), Spurs (55 wins);

Grizzlies (54 wins), Trail Blazers (51 wins), Mavericks (50 wins), Pelicans (45 wins).

The situation of the playoffs is also released. The fans of the Pelicans in the Western Conference are rejoicing, while the fans of the Heat in the Eastern Conference are completely broken.

This season, the Heat only got a record of 37 wins and 45 losses, and paid a large luxury tax. As a result, they didn't even get a place in the playoffs, and the Heat's management couldn't stand it.

Of course, such a major record setback is also related to Chris Bosh's injury.

Bosh only played 44 games this season, and Wade's attendance rate was also average, playing 62 games. Both of the two players who signed big contracts were plagued by injuries, and the team's record was naturally stretched.
Fans of the Knicks and Lakers also broke their defenses one after another, one from the bottom in the East and one from the bottom in the West. Such results made the fans feel uncomfortable.

The management of the Timberwolves almost called the police, 16 wins and 66 losses, the last in the Western Conference, what a loser!Scratching the lottery ticket is a total failure
Maple Leaf Jordan Andrew Wiggins played 82 games without injury, which is very gratifying.

但43.7%的投篮命中率，场均16.9分4.6篮板2.1助攻1.0抢断2.2失误的数据还是让管理层感到有些失望。

Although Zach LaVine won the Slam Dunk Contest, he played mediocre in the regular season, with 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.5 turnovers, and a 42.2% field goal percentage, which did not meet management's expectations at all.

Every team fantasizes that they can select the next Li Ze through the draft, but the reality is too ruthless. After all these years, no player who has performed close to the performance of Li Ze's rookie season has been able to appear.
On April 4, the NBA announced the Player of the Month for April, Demade Rozan and Russell Westbrook successfully won the award.

Although he won the best player of the month for two consecutive months, Turtle is not happy. Coach Brooks may be leaving get out of class.
On the 17th, the NBA announced the stat leaders for the 14-15 season:
The rebounding champion was once again accepted by DeAndre Jordan. He played 82 games and averaged 15.0 rebounds per game. The data has improved compared with the previous year;

The assist king was also captured by Paul again. He played 82 games and averaged 11.7 assists per game. In connecting teams, Paul is still the only one in the league.

The block leader Anthony Davis also successfully defended his title. He played 68 games and averaged 2.9 blocks per game. He is very talented!

The steals king was won by Li Ze, who played 82 games and averaged 2.4 steals per game, beating all players in the league.

Scoring champion is the least suspenseful award, Li Ze is too stable
14~15赛季，李泽场均出场36.7分钟，拿到33.0分5.6篮板5.7助攻2.4抢断0.6盖帽1.6失误；

He averaged 18.1 shots per game, shooting 59.7% from the field, 8.1 shots from beyond the three-point line, 53.6% from three-pointers, 7.8 free throws per game, and 94.3% from free throws.

There is no suspense for the scoring champion, Li Ze defends his title again!

At the end of the season, the tortoise and the bearded golfer fought fiercely. Unfortunately, the two are destined to only compete for second place. There is a gap between the two sides.
The fans of Amelia went crazy when they saw Li Ze's stats, and the sports media also went crazy.

The bleachers (B/R) and ESPN immediately released a data poster of Li Ze:

"Won the scoring champion for 5 consecutive years, and won the scoring champion for 4 consecutive years while entering the 180 club, the only one in history!"

After the NBA league announced the data leader, it also released several tweets in succession:

"Unparalleled performance! Keep chasing greatness! Witness a new record again! #标签王#Young King (crown.jpg)"

On the morning of the 17th, Li Ze, Paul, and Jordan Jr., dressed in formal attire, smiled and won the award in the press conference hall of the Staples Arena.

The sports media at the scene snapped wildly, this is the dominance of the Clippers!

The three of them were all in a good mood, and the media at the scene were blowing wildly. Seeing everyone flattering, the TNT reporter quickly asked a question that many people cared about:

"Kayce! Congratulations on winning the steals and scoring titles this season. Can you talk about your views on the best defensive player award?"

Li Ze had long guessed that the media involved would ask such a question, so he just smiled lightly:
"All I'm after is winning! At the same time, I'm trying to give my best performance to the fans every night."

"As for statistics and awards, I have never cared. The media and football critics will evaluate my performance fairly. I have no doubts about this!"

"So, rest assured, we can focus on the playoffs first."

Seeing that there was no breaking news on Li Ze's side, ESPN reporters turned their attention to Paul on the other side:

"Paul! After Steve Nash, you are the second point guard to reach the 180 club in the regular season!"

"We all know you've had serious injuries, how did you get back to your peak form?"

When it comes to his data, Paul is particularly confident:

"Train hard and play smarter on the court. It's hard for small people to survive in the league, so I can only make myself efficient!"

"Of course, these statistics are inseparable from the support of teammates. Playing next to Kayce, you can get a lot of opportunities. I am very happy that I can convert opportunities into goals. This is also a victory for the team."

Chairman Pao talked eloquently from the sidelines, while Little Jordan looked eagerly at the reporters in the audience. He also wanted to get questions. He had heard enough of business bragging!
As a result, the entire press conference ended, and the media basically ignored Jordan.
This situation immediately made Jordan very depressed. The champion center and the rebounding champion were not appreciated by everyone.

"Andrew, you have to be happy when you get the award, don't care about the media's comments, I believe the fans will not forget you!"

Li Ze can guess what Jordan is thinking. With the blessing of the championship and honor, this one seems to have more pursuits.

Hearing Li Ze's words, Little Qiaodan grinned:
"I know! Compared to Blake, the fans will definitely remember me! This guy is the worst!"

Little Jordan guessed right, Griffin on the training ground was already possessed by lemon essence, and his heart was sore.

For the sake of insurance, coupled with the fact that the Clippers finally played a wave of winning streak, the coaching staff decided to let Griffin rest until the playoffs.

This led to some fans thinking that Griffin had the best record in history after winning 73 wins.

After all, Li Ze, Paul, and Jordan played all 82 games, while Griffin only played 60 games in the end. At the end of the season, all games were abused.
Lying to win has almost become a label on Griffin, and some fans who like to make trouble even took the opportunity to tease the superficial brothers:

"My grandpa played with Kayce, and he can also win the championship and the best record!"

Griffin can naturally see the remarks on social media. Although his agent has told him not to make noise in the unexpected world, but playing in Los Angeles, every move is watched. Even if he deliberately avoids it, he will always encounter various Weird fans.
If you only look at the data, Griffin thinks he performed impeccably!
场均25.1分8.1篮板3.7助攻0.9抢断2.3失误，投篮命中率更是来到生涯新高的55.6%，罚球命中率也有76.8%。

With an average of 18.1 shots per game, Griffin doesn't think he is lying and winning with such a performance.

Unfortunately, injuries ruined his best season, not only the All-Star is gone, the best team may also fall.
Some people on the Clippers side are happy and some are worried, but for the Pelicans, who made it to the playoffs again, it's a little numb after the joy.

Monty Williams led the assistant coaches to analyze repeatedly and watched the game video for several days in a row, but the result became more and more sad, and there was no chance of winning!
After all, there is only one Anthony Davis on the field, and the outside line is really overwhelming. Who will defend Li Ze?

What's even more outrageous is that the Clippers have played a historic offensive performance this season.

He averaged 115.6 points per game, ranking first in the league without any suspense, and scored 116.9 points per [-] rounds, still ranking first in the league.

On the defensive end, the opponent's scoring is limited to 96.6 points, ranking third in the league, only behind the Jazz and Grizzlies.

This kind of performance can compete for the strongest team in history. Monty Williams is in no mood to continue discussing with the coaching staff when he thinks of the Clippers pick and roll.

"Tomorrow night's game, maybe we should focus on the inside. Anthony has some advantages in the matchup. Slow down and play more low-post attacks to slow down the pace of the game."

The assistant coaches discussed it for a while, and finally decided that using the strongest tactics is reliable. After all, the Clippers won the regular season because of Anthony Davis' performance.

Coach Monty Williams didn't intervene, but he was not optimistic about the performance of his players:
"The game experience is too bad"

On April 4th, the 18-14 season NBA playoffs officially started. On that night, there were a total of 15 games.

Among them, the Pelicans vs. Clippers and Mavericks vs. Warriors can be regarded as the focus of battle.

Anthony Davis, the son of America, made it to the playoffs for the first time. The fans were looking forward to it. In addition, the opponent was Li Ze. Everyone wanted to see the collision of talent and talent!

The game between the Mavericks and the Warriors can be regarded as a game of grievances. Stephen Curry is the core of the current Warriors, and Monta Ellis is the core of the former Warriors. Everyone knows the competitive relationship between the two.

Monta Ellis returned to Oracle Arena, the game is destined to hit the earth.

Although it is the first time to enter the playoffs, Anthony Davis is very confident.

As the darling of the media, he was naturally interviewed by various sports media before the game.

"Davis, this is your first playoff appearance in your career, and you are about to play against Kayce. How do you think you will perform?"

The TNT reporter was very provocative and brought the topic directly to Li Ze, but Anthony Davis didn't care about these details, and replied confidently:

"Kayce is the best in the league, it's an honor to play against him, but in the game, I will lock the basket! I will not let him score easily on my head!"

"You know, in the regular season, we actually won against the Clippers. Tonight I will fully demonstrate my talent in the game!"

Anthony Davis said a lot in the face of interviews with media reporters. As a young player, he enjoyed the media's attention very much.

Back in the locker room before the game, Quincy Pondexter, as a player who played against Li Ze frequently in the playoffs, couldn't help reminding Anthony Davis aloud:
"The next time you do an interview, you should show some humility, especially if you are asked a question about Kayce, and simply answer it."

Anthony Davis didn't understand what was wrong with his answer, and looked at his teammates with question marks on his face.

"Kayce is willing to accept challenges, and unlike the regular season, in the playoffs, you can clearly feel the pressure he brings."

"When I was in the Grizzlies, Randolph would taunt at first, but then we lost badly. Tony Allen would not accept any interviews before the game, because he knew that Kayce would blow up the opposing player."

As soon as Quincy Poundset's voice fell, Norris Cole, who also just joined the team this season, also said:

"Don't provoke Kayce in the game. When I was in the Heat, I witnessed Bosh being dunked. Seriously, it was definitely a nightmare for inside players!"

"There is a lot of attention in the playoffs. At that time, there will be replays everywhere on YouTube, and fans will taunt you crazily during the offseason. The years in the Heat were really miserable."

Holiday, who was on the side, heard the two chattering about their experience with Li Ze, and also had question marks on their faces:
"Kayce is a nice guy! He doesn't care what his opponent says before the game."

Quincy Poundset and Norris Cole shrugged. After hearing what the three said, Anthony Davis felt even more motivated:

"I'll block the shot in the game! Come on! It's just the playoffs, and we've won in the regular season!"

"."

At the Staples Arena, Clippers fans entered the venue early. This year, the team's uniform team still prepared red cheering T-shirts.

Compared with the previous two seasons, the fans are more enthusiastic, the number of loyal fans has increased, and the number of fun fans has decreased. Thanks to the performance of the Lakers in the same city, many Lakers have changed and all become fans of the Clippers.

In the commentary booth at the TNT scene, the commentator Kevin Harlan has already got the starting list of both sides:

"Coach Monty Williams didn't make a change, Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon in the backcourt, Quincy Poundsett and Anthony Davis up front, center For Omer Asik."

"With the Pelicans roster, how far do you think they can go in the playoffs?"

Reggie Miller just shrugged when he heard the inquiry:

"It all depends on the state of the Clippers. It is difficult for the Pelicans to limit Kayce on the outside. I can only wish them good luck tonight!"

Before the game, everyone in the Clippers locker room looked relaxed. They didn't care about their opponents in the first round.

"After the game starts, I will teach that kid a lesson! It's really hard to understand why the media and fans like to watch him play!"

After Griffin changed his clothes, he was possessed by lemon essence again. Before the game, a bunch of people surrounded Anthony Davis, forgetting that he was a champion power forward.
Crawford's body has not yet recovered to its best condition, and while moving his right leg, he said:
"That's because the opponent's talent is really good, but meeting the Pelicans in the first round is really good news for us. I'm not interested in playing against the Thunder."

Jokic understood the chattering discussions among the Clippers, but he felt a little regretful when he saw Griffin come back. His starting position was gone again.

"End the game early. I don't want to wait until the fourth quarter to decide the winner. For such a rookie opponent, the battle should be resolved at halftime."

Li Ze clapped his hands when he was about to play, and at the same time loudly reminded his teammates to go all out after the opening.

Paul tidied up his armguards, and at this time he also said:

"Let's go! Try to achieve another best record in the playoffs!"

"."

As the home team players came on stage, the atmosphere in the Staples Arena became more and more enthusiastic, and the fans shouted happily.

During the final warm-up before the game, Li Ze smiled and chatted with Holiday for a while. This is the first time the two have played against each other in the playoffs.

Anthony Davis moved his body seriously, and he even felt that his hands were bursting tonight!

When the referee signaled the players from both sides to come to the center of the field, the Clippers fans on the scene began to shout in unison:
"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"

Huge cheers filled the arena, and everyone in the Pelicans was under some pressure. As the referee threw the ball, Anthony Davis, who reacted faster, turned the ball to his own half.

Little Jordan did not expect that he failed to jump the ball, and the fans immediately changed their slogans:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Holiday quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and Anthony Davis immediately came to the top of the arc to stand still.

The quality of the screen was not high. Holiday, who held the ball in his right hand, went to the right to break through. Paul easily squeezed through the screen and harassed and confronted on his side.

After Anthony Davis blocked it, he immediately went down, received Holiday's ground pass, and just came to the free throw line. Facing Griffin's defense, he made a three-threat posture and prepared to play face-to-face.

After two quick tentative steps with his left foot in a row, Anthony Davis immediately put the ball with his right hand, trying to break through with a cross step.

The center of gravity of the dribble was too high, and the offensive intention was obvious. Griffin stepped forward to fight, and then cut the ball decisively with his left hand, stabbing the ball away.

Anthony Davis just wanted to fight back on the spot, but found that Griffin had firmly controlled the ball, clapped his hands annoyed, and then quickly retreated.

After Paul received the ball, he did not rush to initiate a conversion attack. After halftime, he took the lead in observing the matchup situation.

Eric Gordon defends in front of Barnes, Quincy Pondexter is defending Li Ze, Anthony Davis pays attention to Griffin's movements while paying attention to the perimeter situation, Asik is on the right The position close to the bottom line competes with Jordan.
Paul protected the ball with his back. After observing the situation on the court, he immediately threw the ball with his left hand to Li Ze who suddenly accelerated to the left flank.

After completing the pass, Paul immediately signaled to the inside that no pick-and-roll is needed, and quickly made a rebound gesture.

Seeing Li Ze receive the pass, the fans at the scene started screaming, Quincy Poundset bit the bullet and stared at Li Ze's movements.

Noticing that Li Ze's body was swaying to the left, Quincy Ponderset subconsciously wanted to slide back to the right. At this time, Li Ze's movement speed was extremely fast, swaying left and right, putting the ball with his right hand, and crossed neatly Step dribble breakthrough.

From receiving the ball to breaking through, the whole process was extremely smooth and smooth. When the Pelicans who had just finished retreating realized it, Li Ze was already close to the left elbow of the free throw line.

Holiday naturally also noticed his teammate's defensive misplacement, subconsciously moved to the free throw line, and prepared to take advantage of the situation with his right hand.

Before he could make a move, Li Ze seemed to be a prophet, and suddenly changed his direction quickly. After switching to his left hand, he broke through without slowing down.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the paint area. Seeing Li Ze jumping with both feet, Anthony Davis subconsciously returned to the basket, jumped high, and was ready to block the shot.

But he underestimated Li Ze's speed, and also underestimated Li Ze's explosive power. After the jump, the two confronted each other in the air, and Anthony Davis felt something was wrong in an instant.

Li Ze bent his body into a big bow, ignoring Anthony Davis' block, and quickly swung his arm to smash the dunk!
"Boom!" The battle-axe buckle was successful!

From confrontation to falling to the ground, it happened so fast that the fans on the scene screamed and then began to cheer wildly.

After landing on the street, Anthony Davis lost his center of gravity, staggered and fell to the camera under the basket. When he turned over, he found the camera slapped his face, and the fans shouted in his ears, and then he saw Li Ze smiled at him:
"Welcome to the playoffs!"

Anthony Davis sat up, numb.
On the bench of the Pelicans, Norris Cole couldn't bear to cover his face with a towel. He was too familiar with this scene. Quincy Poundset was also a little dazed on the court and was passed by with one step.
It was the turn of the Pelicans to attack again. Eric Gordon saw Li Ze in front of him, and his scalp tingled.

Since the Pelicans also suffered injuries this season, Gordon, who played 60 games in the regular season and averaged 13.4 points per game, is considered the Pelicans' second outside scorer.

Seeing that the pick-and-roll attack failed, Eric Gordon quickly moved from the left flank to the baseline, and then quickly bounced out to the right flank outside the three-point line with the help of Asik's cover near the baseline on the right .

This kind of three-pointer tactic often used by the Pelicans, Li Ze reacted instantly. Eric Gordon swayed left and right the moment he received the ball, and prepared to break through with his usual right hand.

The result was successfully predicted by Li Ze. While sliding to the left and rear, he continued to give physical confrontation. It seemed that Li Ze was too close. Eric Gordon suddenly crossed back after taking two steps.

Seeing that he was about to pass the defense, Eric Gordon subconsciously accelerated with the ball in his left hand. As a result, there was another physical confrontation from his side. In the next second, Li Ze's right hand cut the ball vigorously, and Eric Gordon was paralyzed. .

The moment the ball was poked off, Li Ze grabbed the ball with his left hand, quickly led the ball forward, and then accelerated with all his strength in his right hand.

Everyone in the Pelicans just wanted to return to the defense, but found that Li Ze had already rushed to the three-point line.

Just one step past the free throw line, Li Ze soared into the air, took advantage of the opportunity to spin the ball in a wide circle, and after gliding in the air, he succeeded in dunking with one arm with his left hand!
"Oh!"

After dunking twice in a row, the fans screamed excitedly. After completing the attack, Li Ze looked calm and watched Eric Gordon who returned to the half court and was about to serve early.

"."

The two are very familiar off the court, and they can be regarded as superficial brothers, but this year when they faced Li Ze again, Eric Gordon just felt completely numb.

In the regular season, the Clippers usually feed Griffin first, but in the playoffs, most of the time they play Li Ze first to see how it feels.

With Anthony Davis hitting the free throw line in the middle of the pick-and-roll, the rebound was easily protected by Xiao Qiaodan. Paul picked up the ball and speeded up instantly, and everyone on the Clippers rushed across the half court quickly.

Approaching the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly accelerated to the left, and then ran back quickly. Quincy Poundset hurriedly chased and defended desperately.

Paul at the top of the arc held the ball with his left hand and easily completed the hand-off, and then quickly ran to the left flank.

Holiday could only follow Paul, while turning his head to remind his teammates:

"Pay attention to defense!"

Li Ze, who completed the hand-off, made a breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and Quincy Poundset stuck to his side, constantly giving physical confrontation.

The two had just crossed the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, then paused slightly with the ball in his left hand, and Quincy Poundset subconsciously slid to the right.

When the opponent made a defensive move, Li Ze quickly changed his body forward, and then tried to mobilize his body. Quincy Poundset was shaken into a big split and knelt on the spot.

Li Ze didn't expect the opponent's reaction to be so strong. He completely swayed the defense, then took a step back, returned to the three-point line, and quickly shot a jumper from the top of the arc!
"Oh—! Kayce-Li!"

"What a move!!"

The three-pointer was hit, and the commentator Kevin Harlan yelled excitedly. The Staples Arena was completely blown up.

While retreating, Li Ze applauded enthusiastically, signaling his teammates to continue to strengthen their defense.

On the Pelicans bench, Norris Cole put his head in his hands subconsciously, thinking that the game must be over
Coach Monty Williams immediately requested a timeout, he must interrupt the momentum of the Clippers.

In the few minutes after returning from the timeout, Anthony Davis only felt himself running back and forth on the field, watching Li Ze score consecutive points
All around my ears were the crazy shouts of the fans at the scene, and Anthony Davis no longer knew how many times he was assisting in defense.

Watching Li Ze holding the ball in his left hand and passing Quincy Pondexett again from the left wing, Anthony Davis subconsciously defended to the bottom left of the basket.

The two confronted in the air. Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand and leaned back. With his excellent airborne, he once again dodged Anthony Davis' block. The moment the opponent landed, he threw the ball to the basket with his left hand!

"squeak!"

"Bang!" The whistle blew and the ball went in!
The fans cheered again. Li Ze clenched his fists in celebration after scoring the goal, and then immediately walked to the free throw line.

Anthony Davis is stupid, folding and throwing in the air, is this still a human?

With Li Ze's extra penalty hit, the game entered the official timeout in the first quarter.

Anthony Davis, who was panting heavily, walked back to the bench and subconsciously looked at the big screen in the center of the field. The score was 2:16
"I just said that you should be humble before the game, Kayce is not easy to talk to at all!"

Quincy Pondexett sat in his seat wanting to cry but couldn't help complaining to his teammates.

He finally fully understood the feeling of Tony Allen, always felt that after the playoffs, he would lose his job
"."

Anthony Davis sat in his seat in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that his first playoff game in his career was like this.

Eric Gordon also felt that he was finished. He didn't even dare to make too many moves in front of Li Ze. He only felt that a change of direction was about to be lost. Except for two shots from outside the three-point line, so far, the whole process stealth.

Head coach Monty Williams saw the emotions of the players, didn't mention tactics at all, and sent out chicken soup loudly:

"Don't be intimidated! Fight like a man! We need to be tough!"

It's just that the thick chicken soup didn't work anymore. It seemed that they were frightened by Li Ze's oppressive opening. In the second half of the first quarter, the Pelicans began to double-team wildly.

Li Ze was waiting for this kind of situation. The left flank just outside the three-point line had just received the ball. He noticed that Holiday's help defense had followed up. He moved two steps to the left sideline, and then immediately threw the ball to the top of the arc. Paul.

After receiving the pass, Paul immediately broke through with the ball in his left hand, and with the help of Jordan's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, he threw off Eric Gordon who came up from the defense.

Asik noticed that Jordan was going down, and saw that Paul seemed to be stopping the ball in the middle distance. The defensive end hesitated a little, and the next second saw Paul easily shoot a jumper from the left elbow of the free throw line!

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

The Pelicans, who have stabilized their emotions, also began to slowly increase their scores, while the Clippers' offense is getting faster and faster.

After Li Ze double-teamed the ball immediately, the Clippers always had the opportunity to play more locally.

Griffin began to attack in the low post, pick and roll mid-range, and pick and roll to eat cakes and score consecutive points.

Everyone in the Pelicans has been completely fooled. Except for running around, the offense is all one-on-one.

The head coach Monty Williams stood by and kept loudly reminding his players to run tactics, but outside players faced oppressive defense and had problems transferring the ball, so the tactics couldn't be played at all.

Anthony Davis asked for the ball with his back in the left block, received a lob pass from Eric Gordon on the wing, released the ball with his right hand, and hit Griffin with his back.

After two pushes, he didn't move, and finally, using his left foot as the axis, he quickly turned towards the baseline and shot a fallback jumper.

Anthony Davis just felt that he had the ball, and as soon as he let go of the ball, the fans cheered in his ears!

"Snapped!"

The moment the opponent turned around, Li Ze rushed directly to the left flank, with a volleyball hat, and slapped Anthony Davis' fadeaway jumper out of the baseline.

All the fans at the scene booed wildly, and the fans in the front row taunted loudly:
"Kayce will destroy you completely! Go home and drink your milk, boy!"

Anthony Davis staggered and was almost thrown into the street by Li Ze. Hearing the trash talk from the fans, he couldn't help but get angry.

A sideline kick was sent, Eric Gordon caught the ball again from outside the three-point line, saw Anthony Davis ask for the ball in the low post again, and immediately sent another pass.

As a result, no attention was paid to the shot clock, and Anthony Davis made another 24-second violation.
Griffin smirked and continued to applaud, Anthony Davis was completely numb.

Paul was replaced with 1 minutes and 2 seconds left in the first quarter, and Crawford went to the field early to find the feeling. At the same time, Jokic replaced Griffin.

The Pelicans also made personnel rotations, with Tyreke Evans replacing Quincy Pondexett and Ryan Anderson replacing Asik.

After the substitution, the tempo on the field finally slowed down, but the Pelicans had completely broken their defenses, and the offensive end was still bang bang, and they could only score piecemeal.

As Li Ze scored a super long three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter of the game was completely over.

In the TNT commentary booth, the commentators Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller looked at each other, the score was 11:36, the game was over
"Okay! The defending champion taught the Pelicans a lesson. After the opening, the Pelicans' defense had some problems, allowing Kayce to score too easily."

The commentator Kevin Harlan didn't have much to say at this time, and finally just said with a chuckle:

“单节8中6，其中三分球3中2，罚球3中3，17分2篮板1助攻1抢断1盖帽，Kayce成功填满了数据栏。”

"This is the strongest player in the league!"

Anthony Davis, who was back on the bench, had already doubted his life at this time, and sat in a daze on his seat, thinking of what Quincy Poundset said before the game, he wanted to cry without tears:
"Is this the end of talking big?"
