The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 392 Unstoppable Data (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
On the night of April 4, the Clippers' first round of G17 was easier than fans imagined.

The Trail Blazers often changed their defensive methods after the opening. At first, there was a big delay inside, letting go of outside or weak-side three-pointers, and protecting the basket. As a result, Harris easily hit two three-pointers in the opening game.

After the timeout, head coach Storrs began to let the inside sink back to defend, trying to protect the basket and let the outside players squeeze through the screen, but this gave the Clippers a lot of opportunities for mid-range shots.

In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans watched happily. For a long time, the team's scoring has not stopped.

"Ooh~"

The fans cheered loudly, Harkless made a three-pointer from the left corner, Li Ze received a long rebound, and the Clippers got another chance to switch offense.

At this time, there were 4 minutes and 18 seconds left in the first quarter, and both sides carried out personnel rotation. Ed Davis replaced Hawes, who came off the bench. The defensive mobility of the inside was strengthened, and the defense speed was much faster.

On the Clippers side, Plumlee also replaced Jokic, who also increased the speed of the inside defense, and Tucker replaced Brock, who had a mediocre touch.

Due to too many leads, Li Ze did not blindly pursue speed. Facing Aminu who came up to help defend at the first time, he dribbled the ball steadily with his right hand across halftime.

"Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers! Let's go Clippers!"

Amidst the cheers of the fans, when Li Ze came to the left flank, the Trail Blazers players had just completed their defensive positions.

Ed Davis followed Plumlee to the top line, and Aminu began calling his teammates to prepare for defense.

The pick-and-rolls were all fake. Li Ze, who was close to the three-point line, did not choose to break through from the right, but suddenly pushed the ball to change direction, lowered the center of gravity, and accelerated in a straight line with the ball in his left hand.

With a sudden cut at 45 degrees from the left, Aminu could only keep sliding to the right and rear. At the same time, Ed Davis also gave up Plumlee and followed Li Ze.

With a small chance to play big, Li Ze was fast and broke through to the left near the bottom line. He noticed that Ed Davis' defense was also following up. During the march, he suddenly used his right foot as the axis and pulled the ball back significantly.

Aminu and Ed Davis were shaken to think that Li Ze was about to turn around, and at the same time shrunk to the basket. After fully reacting, they found that Li Ze turned around, the bottom line position, and easily shot a jumper!

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

At 14:24, the point difference returned to 10 points. The Clippers were on the bench, and the atmosphere team cheered with the fans, crushing the game!
Aminu's eyes were straight. He didn't react to block the ball. The speed of the two was obviously not on the same channel. When they played against each other in the regular season, Li Ze's offensive aggressiveness was not so strong.
Lillard immediately clapped his hands while serving the sideline ball, signaling his teammates to cheer up.

After Plumlee came on the field, the Clippers' big delay had a great impact on him. Lillard also understood the team's situation, and simply shouted with his neck:

"Don't worry about defense, the game has just begun!"

The Trail Blazers' offense is somewhat similar to that of the Clippers. Lillard, who dribbles the ball with his left hand across the half court, picks and rolls at the top of the arc.

Li Ze squeezed through the cover of Ed Davis, and without audible reminder, Plumlee quickly moved to the right to delay Lillard.

Lillard was flanked at the beginning of the game, and Lillard also accelerated the speed of the ball. Taking advantage of Li Ze's pursuit and defense, he sent a lob pass in time.

Ed Davis on the free throw line has just received the ball, and Harris, who is defending the right corner of the Clippers, has already rotated.

Ed Davis immediately threw the ball to Aminu in the right corner. The latter caught the ball and was unguarded. He took a look and made an open three-point jumper!

"Bang" strikes with fury!
The cheers that sounded again in the arena made the head coach Stotts on the sidelines very helpless.

Seeing that the rebound was taken by Tucker, Li Ze quickly dribbled across the half court after receiving the ball. For a while, he could only loudly remind his players on the sidelines to pay attention.

Harkless strictly guarded against Li Ze's transition attack, and immediately stepped forward to interfere after receiving the ball. After halftime between the two, Li Ze moved laterally with his left hand at the top of the arc.

The Clippers put up a double screen, and Plumlee hung up at the top of the arc and then went down. Harris, in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, also hung up the screen, and then bounced to the top of the arc.

Aminu saw Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, came to the left flank. He hesitated and didn't know how to defend. He was stuck between the top of the arc and the elbow.

Harkless was also a little dazed when he saw his teammate's operation. Just about to shout a double-team, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly went in and out.

Shaking right and suddenly left, Harkless reacted a beat slower and was immediately passed by with one step.

Harklaas desperately slid to the right and back, but the defensive prediction made a mistake. Li Ze made a sudden stop after only taking a big step, and made an easy jumper with two points!

"Oh——!"

"Kayce! Making it look easy!"

In the commentary seat of TNT on the scene, Kevin Harlan couldn't speak anymore, let's put this shooting practice aside
After completing the attack, Li Ze shook his head and retreated with a smile. With the increase of game experience, his style of play became simpler in many cases.

Facing the front line of the Trail Blazers, there is no need to do too much shaking. The opponent's ability to protect the basket is average. In the first half, try to compress the defense and break through as much as possible. In the second half, seize the defensive loopholes and score from the outside.

Seeing that the point difference became 12 points, Lillard was anxious, and quickly dribbled across the half court after receiving the ball in the backcourt.

Trying to seize the opportunity of the Clippers' defensive foothold, the left flank paused slightly outside the three-point line, and then accelerated again with the ball in his left hand.

Grabbing a position in an instant, Lillard accelerated the dribble, cut in at 45 degrees from the left, and went straight to the basket!

Li Ze, who lost his defensive position, was not in a hurry, but adjusted his pace, and at the moment when Lillard took off early and leaned forward to complete the throw, the second serve came first and soared into the air.

The ball was still rising, but it was slapped on the backboard by Li Ze, who came later and came first!
After the rebound, Plumlee controlled the ball in time, and Lillard and Li Ze landed at the same time. He was annoyed that he had no time to catch the ball and rushed, Lillard desperately chased and defended.

The Clippers made a fast break with five players on the court. Ingles accelerated along the left sideline. Everyone in the Trail Blazers focused on Li Ze and missed the defense on the weak side for a while.

Li Ze, who had just dribbled halfway, noticed that Ingles was approaching the left flank, and he flicked the ball quickly with his right hand in the middle.

When the ball arrived, Ingles received the pass and just came to the three-point line. Without making any adjustments, he converted the three-pointer and threw the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

At 14:29, less than 2 minutes later, the Clippers played another wave of 7:0, and the head coach Stotts immediately requested a timeout.

Lillard, who was back on the bench, was also speechless, his heart filled with frustration. His teammates did try their best, but they just couldn't stop him.
Coach Storrs naturally saw that his superstar was about to break the defense, looked at the bench, and finally explained to Noah Von Lai:
"Resolutely assist in defense, fast, the game has just begun, we have enough time to recover the score!"

The rotation of the Trail Blazers has been completely messed up. After replacing Aminu, the 14th pick in the first round of 9, the insider Mengxin not only failed to solve the problem, but was assisted by Li Ze twice in a row. chicken.
Seeing Harris standing on the free throw line, the head coach of Storrs simply broke the can and continued to rotate, replacing CJ McCallum with mediocre touch with Gerald Henderson.

Harris' second free throw hit the back edge of the basket, and Plumlee grabbed the offensive rebound. After encountering the help defense, he immediately threw the ball to Li Ze on the three-point line.

Just after receiving a pass at the top of the arc, Harkless stepped forward to defend immediately. At the same time, Gerald Henderson, who had just entered the field on the left wing, also quickly moved towards Li Ze, ready to cover folder.

The right foot quickly took a tentative step forward to the left. Li Ze noticed the double-team on the left, lowered his center of gravity and suddenly turned his back with his left foot as the axis, and took a large tentative step forward to the right.

Harkless was shaken and took a big step back. He tried to defend again, but found that Li Ze stopped his foot on the three-point line and shot a jumper.
Gerald Henderson just came to Li Ze's side and failed to make a defensive move, watching the ball fall into the basket.

The Staples Arena exploded in an instant, screams and cheers rang out at the same time, can this make it?
The Harkless people are all stupid, this is a three-pointer, just take a tentative step?Throwing is as simple as the mid-range.
After scoring the goal, Li Ze didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. He could feel that the Blazers' defense was completely messed up. Everyone wanted to come up to defend, but overall it was not systematic.

With 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze, Harris, and Ingles were all replaced, and Crawford, Barnes, and Evan Turner came on to warm up.

The Clippers' firepower remained undiminished, and Crawford was very active, making a mid-range emergency stop jumper, breaking through and shooting and then scoring points.

Some Clippers fans on the scene have already begun to celebrate the victory of the game, and the Clippers who abused the game will basically not capsize.

At 21:37, in the first quarter, the Clippers easily led by 16 points.

Li Ze, who had already changed into his training uniform, stood on the sidelines and celebrated with high-fives with his off-court teammates. Although Crawford's defense is really stretched this season, his scoring ability is still no problem.

"I can assure you that this year's best sixth man must belong to you!"

Li Ze greeted Crawford with a fist bump with a smile. Entering the playoffs, the regular season awards will be announced one after another, and the fight will break out again.

He easily scored 4 points on the field, and Crawford was also in a good mood:
"Hope the journalists who voted weren't biased, my defensive numbers this year are not looking good."

Crawford is also looking forward to winning awards. No one will think too many honors. Most importantly, the best sixth man will also help to sign a big contract during the offseason!

Everyone in the Clippers is smiling. With an easy game, everyone’s playing time will increase. Good data in the playoffs will also make the next contract more convincing.

In the commentary seat of TNT, Chris Webber saw Reggie Miller just smiled and said nothing, shook his head with a smile, and then said with emotion:
"For Kayce, the first round may be very easy. I really began to believe in his theory. 40+ is really not difficult for him."

The commentator Kevin Harlan was powerless to complain. Li Ze's scoring theory sounds very simple, but as long as anyone who knows basketball understands, this set of rhetoric is unreliable!

Seeing the technical statistics, Kevin Harlan was speechless, adjusted his mood, and finally said helplessly:

“首节6中5，三分线外2中1，罚球2中2，13分3篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽，Kayce填满了数据栏。”

"I wouldn't be surprised if he can score 40+ in this game."

No one likes to watch a bad game, but Reggie Miller is in a good mood at this time:
"Kayce's performance is very good, it can be seen that he is trying to drive the state of his teammates."

"Harris was 5 of 3 and scored 9 points, Ingles was 3 of 2 and scored 6 points, Bullock was 3 of 1 and scored 3 points, Jokic was 2 of 1 and scored 2 points, starting 5 Everyone gets points!"

"The Trail Blazers should adjust their defense in time, and the switch delay should be firmer."

The point difference of 16 points was almost the same. When it came to the rotation stage, Gerald Henderson and CJ McCollum became the team's main attackers.

But Aaron Crabbe, who appeared on the stage, failed to find the feeling on the outside, Aminu also hit the iron outside the three-point line, and Ed Davis failed to eat the pie.

For the Clippers, Crawford and Barnes are in good shape, and Evan Turner is also working hard. If he can't shoot, he will break through with the ball. Tucker and Plumlee have a chance to eat cakes easily.

With 7 minutes and 16 seconds left in the first half, Lillard returned to the court, and Li Ze followed suit.

Head coach Storrs saw the same situation, and cursed inwardly again, still not at ease with a lead of 10+?

With the return of the starting lineup, the point difference began to fluctuate around 12 points.

Jokic, who returned to the court, performed brilliantly in the last few minutes. After the high pick-and-roll, Li Ze was delayed by Harkless and Hawes.

After receiving a pass from Li Ze base, Jokic, who went down the middle, faced Aminu, who was unable to help defend in time, and easily shot in the paint.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Lillard made a high pick-and-roll, broke through with the ball in his left hand at the top of the arc, faced Jokic, who was retreating and defending, and scored two points from mid-range!

Looking back on the Clippers' offense, there was another big delay on the line. After receiving a pass from Li Ze, Jokic in the paint was assisted by Aminu.

The sober white fat man threw the ball to Harris in the left corner at the first time. The latter received the pass and made an open three-pointer with an easy jumper!

"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly.

The Clippers fans at the scene cheered loudly, and Steve Ballmer under the basketball stand also threw his fists in celebration, double-teaming and scoring!

With a few rounds of outside response, the point difference returned to 15 points. At the same time, the Trail Blazers who increased their three-point shooting also allowed Li Ze to easily switch offenses and score points.

CJ McCollum made a three-pointer from the right wing, and the rebound was accepted by Li Ze, who retracted, and then launched a conversion attack.

Dribbling across the half court along the right sideline, Harkless didn't dare to stick too close to the defense, so he could only interfere from time to time, keeping a distance of half a step away.

The right flank was close to the three-point line. Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly changed direction, and then accelerated to break through with the ball in his left hand.

After crushing and breaking through the right elbow, Li Ze, who was on the move, quickly turned towards the baseline with his right foot as the axis.

The huge range of motion allows Li Ze to easily get rid of the defense, turn around and join the ball, ignoring Harkless's block, and on the right side near the baseline, he drifts back and shoots a jumper!
"Shua! Squeak"

The whistle blew the ball, and the referee immediately signaled Harkless to make an elbow foul.

The Trail Blazers players on the court were a little frustrated and couldn't defend.

They all know that Li Ze's breakthrough to the position below the elbow area has a high probability of turning towards the bottom line, but the speed of his movements can't keep up. Coupled with the range of his back, he will lose a foul if he is not careful.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

As soon as Li Ze stood on the free throw line, the Clippers fans started shouting MVP.

Everyone could see that Li Ze played relaxed and happy, and the two sides were not at the same level at all.

An additional penalty hit, the score came to 42:58, with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the first half.

Anxious Lillard tried to speed up the pace of the game and make his shot selection easier, but after consecutive missed outside shots, Li Ze started to score quickly.

Lillard broke through the middle to score the ball, and Aminu made another three-pointer from the outside. After retreating to Li Ze's tomahawk rebound in the paint, he immediately accelerated.

There was a problem with the Trail Blazers' defense. CJ McCollum was forced to delay in front of Li Ze, and finally came to the three-point line.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was converted and scored!

The Blazers continued to speed up. After receiving the pass, Harkless broke through with the ball in his right hand, but was interfered by Ingles, and the ball knocked out of the frame again.

Jokic received the rebound and passed it to Li Ze, and the Clippers continued to switch offenses.

Lillard chased after Li Ze at the first time, but was crushed all the way into the paint area, and in desperation sent Li Ze to the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Hearing the boos of the fans at the scene, Lillard completely broke the defense, and the team suddenly fell into a scoring drought.
Li Ze made two free throws and the Clippers continued to score!

Coach Storrs on the sidelines loudly reminded the players to calm down.

As a result, after Lillard's high pick-and-roll in the offensive round, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. The pick in the paint was interfered by Jokic, and he knocked out again.

Taking advantage of the rebound, Jokic gave the ball to Li Ze again, and the Clippers counterattacked easily.

In the Staples Center, the left-handed Li Ze dribbled through halftime, and the fans began to cheer loudly.

The Trail Blazers retreated quickly, and Harkless didn't care about fouling at this time. He defended Li Ze from outside the three-point line and interfered at the same time.

The left flank was close to the three-point line, Li Ze quickly dribbled the ball behind his back, and then crushed and broke through with the ball in his right hand.

Breaking through to the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line, noticing that Lillard on the line also double-teamed, Li Ze immediately turned around quickly with his left foot as the axis.

Hawes on the inside line saw Li Ze turn around and directly join the ball, and rushed to block the block immediately, so at the same time, Harkless also jumped up, and Lillard on the side also defended.

After closing the ball, Li Ze drifted to the left, leaned back sharply, paused slightly in the air, waited until the three of them started to fall, and then calmly made a jump shot!

"Shua! Squeak!"

When the whistle blew the goal, the Clippers fans on the scene shouted excitedly. They put up a three-man defense and scored the goal. God!
Harkless and Hawes were also completely confused, dodging in the air?How did you get in?
The atmosphere team on the Clippers bench also cheered loudly, this goal can be scored, the thigh is invincible!

Lillard watched Li Ze go to the free throw line, and looked helplessly at the big screen in the center of the court.

42:66, if the penalty is added, the point difference will become 25 points.
Li Ze smiled and gave his teammates high-fives to celebrate, then walked to the free throw line. Amidst the cheers of the fans, he made an extra free throw.

"Kayce is showing his dominance, scoring 11 points in a row, it seems that there is no suspense in this game!"

Commentator Kevin Harlan noticed how little time was left at halftime, and immediately felt that the Blazers must have explained the game.

"Lillard can't control the rhythm of the game, his offense is too impatient, the big man can't get in, there is no rebound, the Clippers will not waste the opportunity to switch offense."

Chris Webber saw the big men of the Trail Blazers running back and forth, and finally couldn't help it, and started to output.

Reggie Miller didn't expect the Trail Blazers to collapse suddenly. Seeing Li Ze's assist, Jokic scored another 2 points and directly started Li Ze's blowing mode:

"That's what a superstar can do, and Kayce once again showed why he's the No. 1 MVP candidate this season!"

"If I were a reporter who voted, I would definitely vote for Kayce, 68 wins, an amazing result!"

In the last two minutes or so, the Blazers, whose mentality exploded, did not score a single point. The score at halftime was 42:70, and the game completely lost its suspense.

The sports reporters at the scene did not expect the Clippers to lead by 28 points in the half game. Obviously, the Clippers have an average lineup, so why did the Trail Blazers collapse at the first touch?

Many football critics began to follow suit and tweeted wildly praising Li Ze's performance:
“12中9，其中三分球4中2，罚球6中6，26分6篮板6助攻1抢断1盖帽，Kayce终结了利拉德！”

"Extreme efficiency, no one can stop Kayce from scoring! The series is over!"

"."

In the second half of the game, Coach Stotts did not surrender immediately, it was too early!

The main lineup is still there, but watching Li Ze grab the board and send assists, and the score is still rising, the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers all twitched:
"This is data brushing, right?"

It's just that when Li Ze only took 12 shots in half the game, he couldn't say the word "swipe".

Although dissatisfied in their hearts, the coaching staff of the Trail Blazers can only hold back. They can't switch to the atmosphere group at halftime of the game. The game can't be played like that!
Li Ze switched to a more aggressive style of play, mid-range in the first half, attacking the basket in the third quarter, and took the pot for three-pointers.

Lillard still had no touch in this quarter of the game. Under Li Ze's pursuit, after hitting a mid-range jumper, he started to hit the iron again.

As the game time passed, Harris completely entered the state, received a breakthrough goal from Li Ze in the middle, and the right wing hit the fourth three-pointer of the game, scoring 4 points.

With 3 minute and 1 seconds left in the third quarter of the game, Li Ze walked to the bench, and the Staples Arena burst into loud cheers again.

After the commentator Kevin Harlan saw the statistics, he really felt that he couldn't blow it:

"I really can't describe Kayce's performance, he completely dominated the game!"

“18中13，三分线外8中4，罚球10中10，40分10篮板10助攻2抢断1盖帽，没有失误！”

"Kayce got this data in 28 minutes, God, it just overturned my cognition!"

In the TNT commentary booth, the three of them started the Li Zechuan mode again, which was too efficient, and they scored as soon as they took the ball.

After three quarters, 66:101, the Clippers blossomed more and completely shot their opponents.

The game was not over yet, and as the sports reporters followed suit, Li Ze's data blew up social media again:
"A triple-double in the playoffs!?"

Seeing a triple-double of 28 points in 40 minutes, many fans found it unbelievable.

替补席上的利拉德已经要自闭了，三节比赛16中5，三分线外7中2，罚球3中2，14分3篮板5助攻3失误。

The continuous strikes contributed several long rebounds to Li Ze, and by the way, the rhythm of the game was broken.

Aminu was also blind-eyed, 12 of 3, 8 of 2 from beyond the three-point line, 10 points and 10 rebounds. As an inside help defender, he was lonely tonight.
There was silence on the Trail Blazers bench, and the Clippers, the atmosphere team was gearing up and ready to go on stage!

Jokic felt that he performed well, and he drank heavily with the water bottle in his arms.

Many of Lillard's points were scored on the white fat man's head, but in general, the coaching staff can accept such a result.

8中5，12分8篮板3助攻1失误，开拓者队频频打铁，约基奇防守端压力小了大半。

Coach De Nagro is very satisfied with the state of the players tonight. The lineup structure of the two teams is somewhat similar, but Harris punished Aminu.

Seeing that Stotts has sat back on the bench, coach De Nagro is no longer standing on the sidelines, and he returned to his seat and made a tactical retreat:

"What is a champion coach!"

The Clippers fans at the scene began to celebrate the victory of the game. Although it was almost close to zero, many fans were still very excited. Witnessing a triple-double, this ticket is not a loss!
As the fourth quarter ended quickly, the score was fixed at 4:96. The Clippers easily won G128 and got a good start to the playoffs.

After the game, Li Ze noticed that TNT's senior reporter Craig Sager was waiting for an interview, and immediately stepped forward to give him a hug.

From the beginning of the new season, the important games are all interviewed by Li Ze:

"Welcome back to the playoffs, we all miss you so much!"

Craig Sager was wearing a blue and white suit again tonight, he laughed when he heard Li Ze's words, and then jokingly asked:

"Kayce, do I have a chance to see you in this year's finals? You know, this may be the first and last time I will cover the finals."

Li Ze knew that this senior reporter had recuperated in the hospital for a long time after the All-Star Game ended. Leukemia was in the advanced stage and had already entered the countdown stage:
"I will make it to the finals, win the game and be interviewed by the way, it is my honor."

"."

The Clippers started the game the latest. Before that, in the other three games, the teams in the upper half also protected their home courts.

Western Conference, 74:106, the Spurs beat the Grizzlies.

The main lineup did not play more than 30 minutes. The Grizzlies scored 13 points in the first quarter, and the opponents were restricted to 3 points in the third quarter. The Spurs showed their dominance!

Eastern Conference, 91:123, the Heat beat the Hornets.

At 22:41 in the first quarter, the Heat easily secured the victory.

Bosh was absent due to injury, but Wade and Hassan Whiteside all played well. Luol Deng even scored 13 of 11 and 6 of 4 from beyond the three-point line. He scored a game-high 31 points efficiently!
The highly anticipated game between the Pistons and the Cavaliers came to the end.

101:106, the Cavaliers finally narrowly beat their opponents!
这场比赛勒布朗-詹姆斯出场时间来到了44分钟，17中9，拿到22分7篮板11助攻2抢断2盖帽1失误的数据。

Kyrie Irving took 24 shots, and Love also took 22 shots. The Chosen One did make a change and gave up more possessions.

Irving scored a game-high 31 points, which is considered to have lived up to LeBron James' expectations.

The first round of G1 games is all over. Amerika's ball critics' predictions are basically correct. The teams in the upper half are stronger. Only the Raptors overturned.

On the morning of April 4th, the NBA officially announced the data leaders for the 18-15 season:
Averaged 14.8 rebounds per game, and the rebounding leader belongs to Andre De Lamond of the Pistons;
Averaged 11.7 assists per game, the king of assists was accepted by Rajon Rondo of the Kings;

Averaged 3.7 blocks per game, and the block king belongs to Hassan Whiteside of the Heat;
With an average of 2.2 steals per game, Li Zeli overwhelmed Stephen Curry and successfully won the steals title;
There is no suspense about the scoring champion. With 41.1 points, Li Ze has crushed all the stars in the past 30 years and has become the highest scoring champion since detailed technical statistics are available!
The official INS of the Clippers posted a photo of Li Ze in formal attire, smiling and holding a crystal trophy in the morning:
"This is the superstar that belongs to the Clippers. Clippers fans can rest assured that the team has already started to renew the contract in advance!"

Fans of the Clippers in the comment area praised it one after another, and the lemon extracts of other teams could only feel acid in their hearts when they saw such data.

If you let go of the brush, you may not be able to reach 40. Thinking about Li Ze's efficiency, he is simply not human.
The NBA League also followed up on the official Twitter:
"Won the scoring champion for 6 consecutive years, and entered the 5 club for 180 consecutive years, the only one in history!"

"Young King! Greatness continues! (Crown.jpg)"

Steve Nash of the Suns has scored in the 5 club 4 times in 180 years. Li Ze has surpassed this record and has become the only player in history who can enter the 40 club after scoring 180+.

On the MVP candidate list, Li Ze has always been at the top of the list this season. Many football critics believe that there is no suspense for this season's MVP award.

Of course, the harvest of honor also made the media reporters of other teams feel panic acid. In the selection of DPOY, many people voted for Kawhi Leonard.

In the three games on the night of the 18th, the Raptors and Warriors won easily. To everyone's surprise, the Thunder overturned.

85:84, Justin Anderson blocked Durant at the last moment, and the Mavericks narrowly beat the Thunder.

出场44分钟，杜兰特33中7，龟龟22中8，两人分别砍下21分和19分，并且联手送出了11次失误.
In addition, the Thunder team made 32 of 7 outside three-pointers, shooting 21.9% of the shots. After the game, the Oklahoma City fans broke their defense:
"Is this still the Thunder we are familiar with?"

On April 4, the NBA announced the winners of the Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) for the 19-15 season:
The Spurs' Kawhi Leonard successfully won the award.

Leonard, Li Ze, and Draymond-Green received almost the same percentage of votes, and Leonard narrowly won the prize in the end.

The Spurs official INS released a photo of Leonard smiling with a small bronze figure.

The Spurs fans praised it one after another, the Warriors fans began to complain about Green, and the Clippers fans tore it up.
Head coach De Nagro saw that Li Ze did not win the award, and directly expressed his position in an interview:
"Kayce won the steals title this season, and his performance on the defensive end is obvious to all."

"If you look at it from a data point of view, Kayce is the best defender this season!"

Steve Kerr also spoke out for his players in an interview:

"Many people underestimate Green's defense. He is the defensive core of our team, and this season, we played 73 wins!"

The Spurs ushered in their own G19 on the night of the 2th, and Popovich also stood for Leonard before the game:

"Kawhi deserves to be the best defensive player. He is everywhere on the defensive end. He can easily lock the opponent's core players!"

"It's great to see Kawhi winning the award. The media made the right choice!"

The reporter from Fox Sports in the audience murmured in a low voice at this time:
"Leonard couldn't contain Kayce."

Popovich was so angry that he turned his head and glared at the team's press officer.

Why is there still Fox Sports?The other party has almost become Li Ze's queen media.

Draymond Green didn't complain about DPOY this year. After all, he was selected as an All-Star and he is considered a big star, so he has to put up his airs!
Li Ze didn't care about this award either. It would be a dream to expect everyone to award him all the awards. Amelika never treats her players badly.
In the game that night, Leonard gave his all on the defensive end, and the Spurs let the Grizzlies only score 11 points in the first quarter.

68:94, the main lineup played up to 27 minutes, and the Spurs easily defeated the Grizzlies.

The coaching staff of the Clippers also paid attention to a game, but after watching it, no one spoke, and there was no reference. The Grizzlies were 14 of 2 from the outside, and the Spurs only shrank their defense.
Coach De Nagro is also speechless, the Grizzlies are completely playing against the trend:

"Let's continue to collect some regular season tactics, and refer to the match between the Spurs and the Warriors."

The assistant coaches nodded. The Spurs will definitely advance easily if the first round game has no reference value.

In another game, the Celtics fans broke the defense. Blake Griffin played half of the game, and the quadriceps injury in the thigh recurred, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the game.

At 72:89, the Celtics lost to the Eagles.

Although the fans are praying that Griffin is healthy, everyone knows that there is a high probability that he will be reimbursed for the playoffs.

On April 4th, the NBA announced the results of the Sixth Man of the Year (SMOY) voting for the 20-15 season:
Jamal Crawford of the Clippers won the award again.

克劳福德在常规赛出场了79场比赛，场均拿到14.2分1.8篮板2.3助攻0.7抢断1.4失误；

The shooting percentage was 40.4%, the three-point shooting percentage was 35.0%, and the free throw percentage was 90.4%.

The third time in his career to win the best sixth man award, the only one in history. At the same time, at the age of 36, he also became the oldest best sixth man in history.

In the Staples press conference hall, Crawford held the trophy and smiled brightly.

After coming to the Clippers, there are a lot of championships and honors. The veteran has already begun to imagine the retirement life of signing a big contract during the offseason.

In G2 between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers that night, at the end of halftime, the score came to 41:66.

利拉德半场10中2，怒砍6分4篮板2助攻2失误，比赛又花了
Everyone in the Clippers congratulated Crawford for winning the award at halftime. In the NBA, every small award is worth celebrating.

"When the game is over, I will treat you tonight. Three best sixth man trophies, the first in history! We must celebrate!"

Li Ze clapped his hands and announced that he was throwing money to celebrate tonight. Everyone cheered, and Crawford also laughed and bumped fists with Li Ze:
"Thanks, Bro! Joining the Clippers was definitely the most correct choice in my life!"

Li Ze knew that the two veterans in the offseason team would choose to leave the team, and the Clippers would not offer a premium contract.

Barnes and Crawford will sign the last contract of their careers during the offseason, and they will go wherever there is more money.

Thinking of the familiar figure gradually leaving the team, Li Ze can only sigh:

"All good things come to an end"

The Trail Blazers completely stretched the gap in the third quarter and only scored 3 points in a single quarter, which made Li Ze's playing time fixed at 18 minutes.

In the commentary seat of TNT, Kevin Harlan saw that the two sides had withdrawn, and felt powerless to complain. Is this the playoffs?
“17中12，三分线外6中3，罚球7中7，Kayce本场比赛轻松砍下34分7篮板12助攻2抢断1盖帽，连续两场比赛都没有失误！”

Reggie Miller on the side couldn't talk anymore. He played too little time and it was difficult to make mistakes.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 81:110. The Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers again, and the series came to 2:0.

This game failed to attract any attention, the point difference was too big, and the strength gap between the two sides was obvious.

Lillard scored 17 of 4 and only scored 13 points. As the core of the team, if he can only deliver such data, then the series will have no suspense.

After two days of rest, the Clippers flew to Portland to prepare for the G3 game.

The opponents in the Western Conference semifinals have been determined. The Spurs lead 3:0. If nothing else, the opponent will sweep the Grizzlies to advance.

The coaching staff has already started to take everyone to watch the Spurs video, and the video lessons in recent days have also become the content of the Spurs.

Li Ze feels that the first round of competitions in recent years has become more and more relaxed, and he is even more relieved that Mengxin Harris has completely found his form.

或许是天生擅长虐菜，哈里斯G2发挥的非常出色，12中9，三分线外5中3，罚球4中3，高效砍下24分6篮板2助攻1盖帽。

In the recovery training session in the afternoon, Harris also won the team's three-pointer challenge.

"$1000, that's cool! Bro, I bet you can score 20 points in tonight's game!"

Reggie Bullock yelled from the sidelines, envious in his heart.

Tonight, he was squeezed out of the starting lineup by Tucker again. The stability of the three-pointer was too poor. Coach De Nagro gave Tucker, who was in excellent condition in training, the opportunity.

"I'll treat you to dinner at night! I hope we can win the game tonight!"

Harris also seemed very excited. As a rookie in the playoffs, he was very satisfied to be able to easily advance to the semi-finals.

The atmosphere group was booing aside, discussing what to have for supper at night.

Barnes also feels that the team is in good shape this year. Although they are all freshmen, they do play a different style of play from the previous three years:

"Kayce, do you think we have a chance to make it to the Finals this year?"

Seeing the longing look on the veteran Barnes' face, Li Ze said in a relaxed tone:
"I dare say that among the playoff teams, our physical reserve is the best!"

"Whether we can make it to the finals depends on the opponent's state. I believe we can win another championship!"

Crawford nodded aside, he believed in the stability of the golden thigh, as long as the role players played normally, then everything is possible.

On the night of the 23rd, at the Rose Garden Arena, the G3 game was a life-and-death battle for the Trail Blazers.

Fans certainly don't want to see the home team swept out by the Clippers again.

At the end of the first quarter, the fiery atmosphere in the arena began to subside, and some fans in the front row had lost their heads.

At 34:20, the Clippers easily led by 14 points.

In the live ESPN commentary seat, Jeff Van Gundy was a little helpless. Many of the first round games this year were spent in one quarter:
"Lillard made 8 of 4, including 3 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points. The other players of the Trail Blazers need to stand up."

Mark Jackson feels that there is no suspense in the series, and the Western Conference semifinals will be a two-two matchup between the teams in the upper half:

“Kayce状态非常好，8中6，三分线外3中2，罚球2中2，首节就砍下了16分分4篮板4助攻。”

"I like his matchup with Lillard, but the Trail Blazers' role players really need to find their status as soon as possible."

"."

Li Ze put on his training uniform and sat on the bench to watch the game.

It's just that Norman Powell, who had a rare chance to play, hit three irons, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The enthusiasm on the defensive end was also too much, and CJ McCollum made a foul.

On the sidelines, head coach De Nagro loudly reminded the players to stay focused. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Clippers can be regarded as training new players.

After playing for 3 minutes, he was finally substituted off the field. Although the point difference on the field was still 14 points, Powell was a little disappointed after leaving the field and his score was zero.

"Norman, keep this vitality, believe me, you will get more playing time!"

Seeing that Powell was full of energy from being milked again, Li Ze nodded in satisfaction:

"The championship badge is still useful, this is the leadership quality!"
