Chapter 379 Paul who broke the defense ([-] word chapter)
When it comes to the NBA's triple-double record, most fans will think of Oscar Robertson.

The Big O has played 1040 regular-season games in his career and scored 181 triple-doubles. He ranks first in the NBA's historical triple-double list, with an average triple-double in 1 games and a career triple-double rate of 5.75%.

Such data is indeed outrageous. Although some fans think that the big O is a brush, but in that era, being able to hit a triple-double already shows the strength of the player.

Li Ze has not played many triple-doubles in his career. Before the 15-16 season, he had a total of 10 triple-doubles in his career.

5 times in the regular season, 5 times in the playoffs.

What impresses the fans is the 13-point triple-double in Madison Square Garden in the 14-63 season, and the three 40+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, the only one in history!

Except for Meng's new season, which needs to help Guigui stabilize the game rhythm, most of the time, Li Ze plays the role of a scorer in the team.

Many fans have forgotten that Li Ze is still the youngest triple-double record holder in history. Therefore, after the opening game of the new season, the data of 54 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists detonated social media.

Fans who didn't watch the game also joined in the fun, and even complained on social media:

"How the hell did the Lakers defend?"

The Clippers ushered in a good start, and the championship award ceremony that night was extremely successful. Only the Lakers were injured.

Kobe also made a face in the post-match press conference, and was hit by Li Ze in the first game after returning from injury.

In addition, the media who are involved in things always ask him about his retirement, so angry that the Black Mamba almost turned his head and left.

Although the pace of the game was fast, after the physical therapy and the interview, the time also reached 0:[-].

The media naturally had to stay up late to catch up on the draft, and everyone in the Clippers hurried home, and had to fly to Sacramento the next morning.

Li Ze's data sparked discussions among critics on the morning of the second day. After all, the Clippers' game was too late, and they could only express their words on the morning of the second day.

In the TNT program, the three games of the opening game were briefly reviewed, and then the host Ernie Johnson took the three of them and began to compare the performances of Li Ze and LeBron James.

"With Kevin Love, LeBron still lost. This is the gap between him and Kayce. He must stand up at the critical moment!"

Charles Barkley was very disappointed with James' performance in yesterday's opener, holding back all night and finally firing on all cylinders.

Kenny Smith smiled and shook his head. Last night, the Cavaliers were slow and chasing points all the way at the last moment.

Four seconds before the end, LeBron James' breakthrough was blocked by Paul Gasol, new aid Mo Williams made another mistake, and the Cavaliers regretted losing.

95:97, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Bulls finally had the last laugh.

O'Neal couldn't say too much about last night's game. Kobe didn't need to comment. Black Mamba has become the norm. For LeBron James, he can only say euphemistically:

"One game can't explain the problem, but what I see is that LeBron is more healthy. It can be seen that he has polished his body very well during the offseason!"

Kenny Smith shifted the topic to the Clippers again, and asked the two with a smile:

"How do you evaluate the performance of the Clippers? Judging from the team's statistics, 88 shots were made, 33 of 14 from beyond the three-point line, and the three-point shooting percentage is close to 5%!"

"It was completely different from what we had expected. David Lee didn't even make it into the starting lineup."

Charles Barkley thought of the scene where the Clippers threw a three-pointer, and said firmly:
"Jump shots can't win the championship. In the long season, the shooting percentage from the outside will also fluctuate. Considering the strength of the inside, I think the Clippers have fallen out of the championship."

When the host Ernie Johnson saw his old partner talking nonsense again, he suppressed a smile and said:

"Chuck, don't forget that Kayce scored a triple-double with 29 points in just 54 minutes. Hope you don't change your opinion afterward."

"."

The fans of the Clippers are still immersed in Li Ze's triple-double. The game on the night of the 28th made the fans realize that the strength of the Clippers has indeed declined.

At 52:46, facing an opponent like the Kings, the Clippers only led by 6 points at halftime.

The Kings also made reinforcements this season. After determining DeMarcus Cousins ​​as the core of the team, they first added Rudy Gay, and this season introduced Rajon Rondo.

Coupled with the signings of Marco Belinelli and Caron Butler during the offseason, the team's strength on paper is not bad.

After Rondo was sold by the Celtics, he was sent away after only one year because of conflicts with the head coach of Carlisle when he arrived at the Mavericks.

The arrival of Rondo also caused Li Ze's old teammate Darren Coleson to lose his starting position again.

During the intermission, coach De Nagro also discovered the team's problems. Matt Barnes in the starting lineup was in poor condition.

Whether it is the catch and shoot, or the end of the cut, there have been problems.

Considering that Barnes is 35 years old, such a state is also reasonable.

In the NBA, most players start to decline after the age of 33. The forward players are okay, and some small guards who rely on explosive power decline faster.

In the locker room, David Lee was also a little depressed sitting in his seat. The Clippers also mentioned him in the starting lineup when they met the Kings' twin-tower combination of Kufus and Cousins.

But what made David Lee feel helpless was that Cousins ​​frequently pulled outside the three-point line, not only hit a three-pointer from the outside, but also made a breakthrough with the ball from time to time, which made David Lee a little Embarrassed.

Coach De Nagro did not emphasize tactical adjustments, but only changed the starting lineup after the start of the second half.

Tucker and Ingles made their debut in the second half. When the Clippers were serving from the bottom line, Kings fans in the Sleep Train Arena immediately started shouting:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Li Ze is not worried about the outcome of the game. Although Cousins ​​is bluffing and seems to have a strong sense of presence on the court, it is all about the offensive end. On the defensive end, the two big men of the Kings have problems defending pick-and-rolls.

Ben McLemore was in charge of marking Li Ze tonight. Seeing the Clippers change in the second half, he felt something was wrong.

Aiming at the position of the left and right elbows behind him, McClemore started to get close to Li Ze.

Empty the paint area, Jokic quickly came to the three-point line, high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

Koufus bit the bullet and followed. Seeing Li Ze quickly dribble behind his right hand and approach the three-point line with the help of a pick-and-roll, the defense immediately hesitated.

After Jokic completed the screen, he immediately went down, making McClemore finally chased and defended to Li Ze's side. Koufus finally chose to retreat and defend, preventing Jokic who was going down from getting a chance.

The Kings fans at the scene saw that the team seemed to have completed the defense, and subconsciously cheered.

It's just that he was happy for less than two seconds. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly in and out on the three-point line.
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

Coach George Karl was a little dissatisfied with McClemore's defense, and couldn't help directing loudly:
"Paste it, and everyone will respond!"

Rondo dribbled through the half court unhurriedly, noticing that the Clippers had shrunk their defense to within the three-point line, and simply signaled for a cross screen.

After a cross screen in the three-second zone, Cousins ​​came to the left block to receive the ball.

I wanted to crush the breakthrough with my weight, but at the moment of receiving the pass, Tucker, who was on the line, came to help defend and let go of Rondo on the left wing.

Cousins ​​subconsciously returned the ball to Rondo. The latter caught the ball and immediately broke through with the ball in his right hand. After observing Ingles' retraction defense, he distributed the ball to McLemore on the left wing again.

The latter received the ball without making too many adjustments. Facing Ingles, who came up again to help defend, he made a quick jump shot from the right wing outside the three-point line!
"state!"

The rebound just popped out, and Li Ze, who rushed into the paint, stuck Rudy Gay behind him and just received the rebound.

Rondo returned to the defense quickly, and at the same time directed his teammates to complete the defensive position.

For the Clippers' transition offense, the Kings are naturally more careful.

After halftime, Li Ze naturally noticed that the Kings' defense was still protecting Cousins, who was on the left near the baseline and was responsible for marking Ingles in the left corner.

Li Ze moved to the left flank with the ball in his left hand. Gallinari quickly lifted up in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

Rudy Gay saw Li Ze making a cross pass and subconsciously intercepted the pass route. Gallinari reacted quickly and failed to get the chance to catch the ball from outside, and suddenly went straight to the basket.

McLemore in front of him didn't seem to notice the changes on the field, and watched Li Ze throw the ball high.

The ball flew to the upper right of the basket, Gallinari jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Shh!"

At 57:46, the point difference came to 11 points. Li Ze smiled and gave Gallinari a high-five to celebrate. This is also a characteristic of European players, and their running tactics are more flexible.

If the outer bullet stands still, there is a high probability that Li Ze will use the pick-and-roll to complete the attack in this round.

Rondo naturally noticed that the Clippers' defense was getting smaller and smaller. With the same tactic, this time he made a throw in the paint, and finally the ball knocked out of the frame.

The basket scrambled, and Cousins ​​grabbed the rebound at the first time, but Jokic got it the second time.

Watching the Clippers protect the rebound, Cousins ​​clapped his hands angrily. Just about to complete the retreat, he found that Jokic threw the ball to the frontcourt with one hand.

Li Ze, who crossed the half court, successfully caught the ball, and Rudy Gay beside him did not dare to relax, and kept giving physical confrontation, trying to delay Li Ze's speed.

Just approaching the three-point line, Li Ze suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back and swayed away in an instant. Rudy Gay saw Li Ze slightly raise his body's center of gravity, and subconsciously repositioned his defense.

The opponent's defensive center of gravity had just moved, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated and passed Rudy Gay in an instant.

Seeing Li Ze rushing up in three strides, the fans on the scene exclaimed. Rudy Gay chased and defended hard, jumped up to block the block but found himself a step slower, and was carried away by Li Ze and succeeded in picking the basket!
"squeak!"

The ball fell into the basket, and the referee immediately blew his whistle. After landing, Rudy Gay looked at the big screen with his hands on his hips. The point difference was 15 points away.
The fans of the Kings also lost their emotions. Everyone felt that there was a high probability that they would confess again tonight.

Head coach De Nagro walked to the bench with a relaxed expression. The game was stable, but he was still a little tangled in his mind when he thought about the starting lineup:

"It's easy to lose rebounds when there is space, an unsolvable problem"

After making an extra penalty, Li Ze, who returned to defense, clapped his hands, and the game completely entered the rhythm of the Clippers.

With Cousins ​​shooting from outside the three-point line in two rounds, the Clippers seized the opportunity, and Li Ze assisted Ingles to make a conversion three-pointer, and the game completely lost suspense.

When Rondo was substituted, the point difference had reached 20 points. He didn't like Cousins' offensive choices, but he had just joined the Kings, so he didn't have much to say. He just complained silently in his heart:
"It's painful to watch you guys play"

Not many people paid attention to this game. The Kings' performance has improved in recent years, and the bearded player selected was sent to the Rockets. At present, only Cousins ​​has fulfilled his talent.

In the fourth quarter of the game, some fans have already left the field early. Tonight's attendance rate is average. Many Kings fans would rather drive to watch the Warriors game.
In the end, the Kings only withstood halftime, and the score was fixed at 116:102. The Clippers easily defeated their opponents back to back.

28号当天一共有14场比赛,虽然李泽26中16,高效砍下44分8篮板11助攻2抢断,但大多数球迷还是将目光投向了全美直播的比赛。

勇士队大胜鹈鹕队,阿美丽卡之子安东尼-戴维斯拉跨了,20中4,拿到18分6篮板2助攻3盖帽5失误。

斯蒂芬-库里26中14,三分线外12中5,砍下40分6篮板7助攻2抢断2失误。

The duel between the two attracted the attention of most fans. After the game, critics crazily praised Curry's performance. After only one game, the Warriors became the favorites to win the championship again.

Regardless of Anthony Davis's performance, the fans just like this local big man. If he plays well and blows hard, he will become a promising future.
The Rockets also ushered in their debut that day, and the league's schedule is also very interesting. The first game is against the Nuggets.

This game naturally received a lot of attention, but beyond everyone's expectations, the Nuggets beat the Rockets 105:85.

The inside line composed of Dwight Howard and Kenneth Faried robbed the rebounds!
Howard met his old teammate Jameer Nelson in the Nuggets. The two frustrated people joined forces and sparked again.

The Rockets fans were very disappointed. It was rare to come to the Toyota Center Arena early. As a result, this is the strongest backcourt in the league?
詹姆斯-哈登21中6,其中三分球12中2,罚球9中8,砍下22分6篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽3失误。

克里斯-保罗15中6,三分线外6中2,罚球6中4,拿到18分4篮板6助攻1抢断3失误。

After scoring 40 points in the strongest position, the Rockets fans broke the defense. Is this the data of the role players?

false promotion!

The Rockets' insiders Capela and Tyron Jones were robbed to doubt their lives.
With 23 points and 15 rebounds, Howard scored a large double-double in front of the two. At the end of the game, he laughed and mocked:

"A bunch of idiots, you will never win the championship!"

The media in Houston were blown up, and they criticized Harden's state after the game.

The bearded golfer took the initiative to admit his mistakes and believed that the loss was all his fault:
"Losing to the opponent is my problem. You know, my state is just a little slow, and I will find the feeling of shooting!"

The Houston media reluctantly agreed with Harden's reasons, and then began to blame Paul. Why did Harden and your partner suddenly become soft-legged shrimp?
Paul was also very upset. It was not his reason to become a soft-footed shrimp. Khloe Kardashian can freely enter and leave the Rockets' training ground.

"I hope that everyone in the team can put their minds into the game. We need to devote ourselves wholeheartedly. If we want to go further in the playoffs, every game in the regular season is very important!"

Chairman Pao's pointed answer also made the media reporters on the scene react. When the regular season started, Harden still pushed his ass?
The other sports reporters suddenly became energetic, and their partners had a quarrel just now, so it's time to make a big deal out of it!

The Rockets and Warriors sucked up most of the traffic, but everyone in the Clippers didn't care about it. The players were busy introverting, and the starting position was still not determined.

On the 29th, everyone will return to Los Angeles. There will be a game against the Kings at the end of the month. The schedule is relatively easy, and the coaching staff can also rest assured to adjust the lineup.

The Rockets have become a big traffic team, and the arrival of Kohler Kardashian has brought other attention to the team.

In this case, fighting back to back, the Warriors gave the Rockets another big defeat.

At 112:92, the Warriors beat the Rockets by 20 points!
保罗这场比赛倒是拼尽全力,20中8,三分线外5中2,罚球8中6,砍下24分5篮板5助攻1抢断3失误。

But what made him feel helpless was that Harden went 18-of-4 and scored 16 points.
Both played for 37 minutes, and they were on the court at the same time. Basically, you played one and the other played, and there was no cooperation at all.

Opposite Stephen Curry only played 27 minutes, 15 of 9, and easily scored 25 points.

In addition, there was also a scene in the game where Curry knocked Paul down near the bottom line on the left side. After the game, the critics tweeted one after another:

"Steph Curry, the best point guard in the league!"

"."

On the last day of October, fans of Amerika feel like it's Chinese New Year!
There were 6 games that day, the Warriors and the Pelicans, Stephen Curry, who played 36 minutes, broke out again.

27中17,三分线外14中8,爆砍53分4篮板9助攻4抢断2失误!

Warriors fans almost went crazy, invincible!

It's just that after the game between the Kings and the Clippers, everyone calmed down again.

李泽出场34分钟,27中17,三分线外13中8,罚球9中8,拿到50分12篮板9助攻3抢断1盖帽1失误。

For the second time this season, he got 2+ and also hit a quasi-triple-double. The critics felt scalp numb when they saw the performance of the two:

"The data is in heaven!"

On November 11st, the Rockets, the current traffic leader of the NBA, lost again.

89:109, the Heat at home easily beat the Rockets.

Losing this game, Paul completely broke the defense. The bearded player made 15 of 2, 10 of 0 from beyond the three-point line, 14 of 12 free throws, and finally scored 16 points.
Having partnered with Li Ze for three years, Paul has become accustomed to being a super scorer with a shooting percentage of more than 2% and scoring efficiently. However, the bearded player scored 16 points in [-] hits. This scene made Chairman Pao feel very uncomfortable.

Not only did Paul break the defense, but the Rockets fans couldn't stand it anymore. There was a wild spray on Reddit:
"Ugly! This is the ugliest game I've ever seen!"

"James Harden has been sucked dry by Khloe Kardashian!"

"16 of 7, 21 points, without Kayce, Chris Paul can't win!"

"McHale has to get out of class! There are no tactics on the court."

"The opposite Hassan Whiteside scored 15 of 12 and scored 25 points and 15 rebounds. God! Can anyone tell me what Capela is doing?"

"Perhaps Harden should be traded. Paul + Howard will not lose three games in a row."

The ball critics were overjoyed, and the Rockets provided them with a lot of material. The picture of the bearded player's defensive eyes even appeared on the TNT program. Everyone was watching the Rockets have fun.

On November 11, the NBA officially announced the first player of the week for the new season.

Lee Ze of the Western Conference and Andre Drummond of the Eastern Conference received the award.

活塞队在第一周的比赛中,拿到了3胜0负的战绩,安德烈-德拉蒙德场均18.7分16.3篮板1.0助攻1.0抢断2.0盖帽1.7失误;

Although the field goal percentage was only 41.3% and the free throw percentage was only 58.1%, but the unbeaten record + oversized double-double data still allowed Drummond to successfully win the award.

快船队在第1周的比赛中同样3胜0负,连续三场虐菜,让李泽场均可以拿到49.3分10.0篮板10.3助攻2.3抢断0.3盖帽1.3失误;

He averaged 26.3 shots per game, shooting 65.6% from the field, 9.6 shots from beyond the three-point line, 53.9% from three-pointers, 9.7 free throws per game, and 96.3% from free throws.

After the announcement of the awards and statistics, the fans of America were dumbfounded. Most fans would not pay attention to the game between the Clippers and the Kings.

There is only one impression in everyone's mind, Li Ze scored very fast, but after seeing the data, he was still taken aback.

Of course, the fans adapted very quickly, and backhandedly ran to 2K's official Twitter and INS to complain:

"Damn game! Why can't I play such data with Kayce!"

"Garbage skinning game! Don't care about star players, Kayce's game is not easy to use at all!"

"Fack! The 73-win mode of shit, why are Paul, Griffin, and Jordan so much weaker than reality."

"Numbers have to be changed! We need the real Kayce!"

NBA 2k16 was just released in September this year. The game released two covers, one is a group photo of the Clippers, and the other is a back and side photo of Li Ze with five championship trophies.

The fantasy dynasty mode has been added to the game, players can experience the new dynasty team.

It's just that the Clippers' record of 73 wins is really hard to play. In the game, Li Ze has a 5% hit rate, which makes players scold the designer for not being human.
This has happened not once or twice. Li Ze’s record has corresponding achievements in the game, but without adjusting the value, Li Ze in the game is not as powerful as in reality.

Of course, the requirements of the players are indeed a little too much. Li Ze's score in the game is 99, which is basically almost full. If it is strengthened, the balance will be completely lost.

On November 11, the Rockets were a guest in Los Angeles, and Chris Paul went home!
On the morning of the 2nd, Li Ze entertained Jordan Jr., who came to Los Angeles with the Mavericks, and in the afternoon, he had a chance to catch up with Paul.

Originally going to meet the bearded golfer, it turned out that Harden had the opposite sex and no humanity, and finally chose to attend the party of the big butt Kardashian.
Jordan did well in the Mavericks. On the night of the 1st, the Mavericks also easily defeated the Lakers.

With the signings of Deron Williams and Raymond Felton during the offseason, coupled with the return of Devin Harris and Barea, the Mavericks really have a lot of bakers.

There is indeed no 20+20 data, but 12+12 data is not difficult for Jordan.

Of course, the tactical position is all about drawing cakes. When it comes to the Mavericks, Jordan still eats cakes and scores.

Griffin only lost one game at the beginning of the game. Although the data has shrunk, winning is a good thing!
Paul was the worst. He lost three consecutive games by a big score. The bearded player would be late for daily training, and there was no one to be found outside the court.

If you want to find Harden, you have to pay attention to Khloe Kardashian. This kind of experience made Paul feel particularly irritable.

Back home, after seeing his precious son, Paul felt much better again, but whenever he thought about the situation of the Rockets, he couldn't help but complain:

"It's hard to imagine that Harden's off the ball is so bad! This makes it difficult for the team's tactics to work."

Li Ze touched his nose subconsciously. This is also the butterfly effect he brought. The bearded player was in the Kings when he was a rookie. At that time, he held the ball and did not let go.

After playing for three full years, it was impossible to change his habit when he joined the Rockets. Paul also likes to hold the ball. The presence of the two at the same time is indeed somewhat discordant.

"I still participated in the party before the game. Didn't Coach McHale restrict Harden's travel?"

Li Ze has already seen a photo of the bearded golfer and the Kardashian sisters on INS, and he is very curious about the internal situation of the Rockets.

Thinking of the questions from the coaching staff, Paul said helplessly:

"Management is useless. Harden participates in training on time, but the rest of the time is the player's own. The coaching staff can only give advice, but cannot restrict his personal freedom."

Li Ze predicted that the bearded players would still have soft feet tonight, so he took a sip of the coffee on the table and said jokingly:

"Get ready to lose another 20 points!"

"."

On the night of the 2nd, in the Staples Arena, Clippers fans saw Khloe Kardashian wearing Harden Ball's No. 13 jersey and Kendall Jenner wearing Li Ze's No. 10 jersey.

These two girls are here to catch the heat. After the game started, they seemed very devoted. Every time they scored a goal, they would applaud and laugh.

Most of the time, the cheers from both of them went to Li Ze, and the bearded golfer languished.

In this game, the Clippers still start with Barnes, Tucker, Gallinari, and Jokic.

But on the defensive end, Li Ze is responsible for marking Paul, and Tucker is responsible for defending Harden.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

A familiar shout came from his ear, and Paul, who was holding the ball in his right hand, felt a little depressed.

After holding the ball for half the court, Paul noticed that the bearded player was smoking in the right corner before making a tactical gesture.

Mengxin Capela was proactive and immediately came to the top of the arc to perform a high pick-and-roll.

Jokic understood Li Ze's defense, and immediately chose to defend the line to prevent the opponent from going down.

The quality of the cover was not high, and Li Ze easily squeezed through. The two were naturally very familiar with each other. Paul would not change directions in front of Li Ze, and kept accelerating with the ball in his left hand.

Capela actively went down, and Paul's high throw gave an advance, which just passed Jokic's fingertips.

Close to the basket position, Capela caught the ball in the air, was interfered by Jokic's defense, and failed to catch the air. After landing, he dribbled the ball in the three-second zone, trying to use his strength to complete the slam dunk.

But the overly obvious offensive intention was eventually suppressed by the fat man.

The Clippers fans at the scene cheered loudly. Jokic rarely blocked shots. Li Ze went to catch the ball and the Rockets immediately retreated.

As soon as Ariza saw Li Zelai dribble through the half court, he felt a little dizzy for a while. The Clippers' offensive rhythm was not fast. Tucker saw Li Zelai's logo position, cut into the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line without the ball, and quickly ran to the right side low.

When Li Ze was close to the three-point line, Jokic quickly ran to the right of Li Ze and performed a pick-and-roll.

Of course Ariza knew the Clippers' tactics, but he couldn't predict how Li Ze would attack. Seeing Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly in and out, swaying right and left, Ariza subconsciously slid to the left.

Just when he was about to squeeze through the screen, Li Ze quickly changed direction with his crotch, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand.

Seeing Li Ze break through the defense, the Clippers fans cheered loudly. Mengxin Capela seemed to be confused, and had no intention of helping the defense at all. He watched Li Ze rush into the paint.

Harden, who was near the bottom line on the right, reacted, but his feet were weak, and he failed to complete the defense block for a while. He also watched Li Ze catch the ball with his left hand and successfully dunk with one arm!

"Oh!"

The Clippers fans yelled happily and dunked again!With the same tactic, the Clippers actually played three times!
At 10:19, looking at the score on the field, coach McHale was so angry that he immediately asked for a timeout.

The Rockets coaching staff was also a little helpless. With 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, the team fell into a scoring drought.

Paul, who returned to the bench, broke his defense. He sat down on his seat, and immediately sprayed angrily:
"Hey! You have to finish the help defense, don't forget you are near the basket, you can't watch the opponent dunk easily!"

Harden felt that he only missed two rounds. Why should he say that his defense has problems:
"Obviously it was a missed defense on the line, and a pick-and-roll man was gone, but in the end it was me who blamed me?"

Ariza on the side saw Harden shrugging his shoulders, and his heart was also filled with anger. Is it all my fault?
Ariza and Paul are considered old teammates, and the two naturally agreed with each other, and immediately said:
"Hey, Bro! Everyone knows that one-on-one defense can't limit Kayce, we just want to see your defensive enthusiasm, you can't keep pinching your waist on the court!"

Coach McHale was so angry that he hadn't vented yet, but when he turned his head, he saw that his players were already arguing.
"Calm down, okay?"

"Do your best to catch up on the defensive end, and you must score points on the offensive end! I don't want to be laughed at anymore, Shet! I want to see your attitude!"

The atmosphere team of the Rockets saw that the head coach McHale also broke the defense, and they dared not speak in a low voice. Now the atmosphere of the team is very strange, and everyone is complaining.
Returning to the court, Paul's mood is getting worse and worse. Originally returning to Los Angeles today, the Clippers also played a tribute video at the beginning, which made Paul very proud of his new teammates.

Three consecutive championships, the league's number one point guard!

As a result, the Rockets were about to fall behind by double digits in half a quarter of the game. What did the Los Angeles fans think of him?

The Rockets attacked, and Harden finally took the initiative to ask for the ball. At the top of the arc, his teammates all pulled away.

No need to cover, facing Tucker's defense, Harden continuously dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction in front of his body, then held the ball in his left hand to pretend to burst, and then quickly retreated.

It's just that the feet are weak, which leads to insufficient shooting force, coupled with the slowdown of the movement speed, and finally Tucker provokes interference, and the ball directly hits the front of the basket.

The long rebound just bounced to Barnes at the left elbow, who received the rebound and immediately threw the ball forward.

Quickly crossing the half court, Li Ze easily caught the ball on the right flank.

Ariza retreated desperately, seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand and speeding up his breakthrough, he immediately stuck to the defense.

The moment the two were about to touch, Li Ze suddenly stepped down to dribble, slowing down and at the same time circling the ball with his left hand behind his back.

Before Ariza could react, Li Ze took advantage of the situation to complete the retreat, easily came to the right flank outside the three-point line, completely threw off the defense, converted a three-pointer and quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

"The Rockets can't make any more mistakes, they are already 12 points behind!"

In the commentary seat of TNT on the scene, Kevin Harlan was unable to complain for a while. You must know that this game is highly anticipated before the start of the new season.

As a result, the Rockets pulled their hips at the beginning, which caused the attention of the game to plummet.

"I like Kayce's offensive options. After consecutive breakthroughs, he must hit shots from the outside, which will put a lot of pressure on the defender."

"James Harden has to get back to his form quickly. The Clippers' shooters are in good condition tonight. If the point difference is widened, the game will lose its suspense."

The bearded player is unreliable, Paul can only attack by himself, the high pick-and-roll, the elbow position on the left side of the free throw line, and the difficult lateral move and step-back jumper to help the Rockets stabilize the situation.

Li Ze did not continue to attack. After dribbling halfway, he moved the ball to the left flank with his left hand. Tucker on the left elbow quickly cut to the right flank with the help of Jokic's upper screen from the free throw line.

The bearded player didn't notice the movement behind his head at all. Li Ze's cross pass was thrown directly into Tucker's hands. The latter caught the ball and threw it without too much adjustment!
"Shua!" Three-pointer and then scored!

The bearded golfer broke through in singles at the top of the arc, and finally passed Tucker, but he hit another iron with a left-handed throw in the paint.

Jokic received the rebound again, saw that there was no chance to switch offense, and gave the ball to Li Ze again.

Paul saw that Li Ze had just used the half court, and found that Jokic and Gallinari of the Clippers were standing on the left and right elbows respectively.

Seeing that Barnes was covering Tucker in the three-second zone, and quickly bounced out after a small circle, Paul immediately reminded Harden loudly:

"Switch up!"

The bearded player reacted and chased and defended immediately. Unfortunately, Jokic had already moved to the vicinity of the left block and hung up on Harden.

When Barnes received a pass from Li Ze on the left flank outside the three-point line, there was no one in front of him, and he didn't make any adjustments after receiving the ball.
Hearing the cheers erupting from the Staples Arena, Harden knew that he scored another three-pointer, and felt a little frustrated. Tonight, he did feel a little weak in his feet.

In desperation, McHale replaced Terrence Jones, took Marcus Thornton, and set up a three-guard
The Rockets scored piecemeal, but the Clippers were raining three-pointers. Everyone was brave. Jokic also seemed to have confidence and took the initiative to ask for the ball with his back in the right block.

Li Ze came to the right flank and immediately ran without the ball after sending a lob pass.

Marcus Thornton, who appeared on the stage not long ago, thought that Li Ze was going to go around the white fat man and cut in from the bottom line, so he hurried to keep up with the defense, but he didn't expect that at the moment when he was approaching Jokic, Li Ze suddenly ran back and bounced directly to the right bottom corner.

Jokic easily sent a cross pass. After receiving the ball, Li Ze raised the ball and dangled it. Marcus Thornton overreacted, jumped up and flew directly out of the sideline
The fans in the front row roared with laughter, and Li Ze was also smiling, calmly adjusted, and made a three-point jumper from the bottom corner!

"Shua!" A three-pointer was scored again.

18:35, the Clippers fans have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game.

Seeing that the point difference went straight to 20 points, and there was only more than 1 minute left in the first quarter, Chris Paul broke the defense, and he was ashamed tonight
When the bearded player stood on the free throw line, Li Ze was just replaced by Evan Turner, and the Clippers began to rotate personnel.

Ty Lawson sat at the end of the bench in his practice uniform, and he failed to enter the team's 12-man roster in this game.

Lawson's physical condition stretched, and the defense was blown up in daily training. Powell finally rushed to the team's 12th man position.

Coach De Nagro doesn't look at the former Nuggets' core point guard. If he doesn't train actively, he can only sit on the bench. The Clippers don't allow players to play drunk
Li Ze, who was back on the bench, briefly told Gallinari that he played too conservatively on the court.

In the simulated training, Gallinari obviously performed better, and Li Ze felt that the new teammates probably did not let go:

"When you meet a short guy, take a jump shot after a tentative step. You don't need to hesitate. If you miss the shot, go for the rebound. The Rockets' insiders have little experience in the game, and we still have some advantages in rebounding!"

Gallinari nodded, and many of the strategies the Clippers designed for him were to catch the ball in the left and right elbows after going down the screen.

This is his favorite position to catch the ball, and he can shoot suddenly. However, he is not quite used to the team's offensive rhythm at present. Li Ze handles the ball too quickly on the offensive end.

On the Rockets' bench, Paul watched Harden raise his eyebrows at the big-ass girl, and was immediately pissed off.

Seeing the statistics again, Li Ze was 9-for-7, 4-for-3 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 17 points in a single quarter. Paul had a lemon in his heart again.

Without free throws, the Rockets' defense couldn't even reach out!

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 1:22, and the Rockets were shot by the Clippers
Paul stood up, bumped his fists with his teammates, turned his head and saw Harden leaning on the chair like a normal person, his heart was filled with anger, and he couldn't help cursing in a low voice:

"Shet! The second-best shooting guard in the league!"

  In fact, there are not many core tactical routines in the NBA.

  In many cases, it is the improvisation on the field,
