The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 47
Coach Brooks directly asked Li Ze to replace Sapo Sefolosha, and Ibaka also replaced Jeff Green to maintain the height of the lineup.

For the Utah Jazz, Sloan also replaced Deron and Okur with Ronnie Price and Costa Koufos. Enough.

When Yu Jia from CCTV saw the substitution, he couldn't help saying, "Director Zhang's prediction was right, it really was a counter-substitution."

However, when Zhang Weiping saw Li Ze catch the ball directly from the backcourt and dribble past half court, he immediately felt something was wrong.
"No, Kayce is playing point guard and directing his teammates to get there."

At this time, Li Ze was using Spain to ask Ibaka to make a back screen for Durant. Durant successfully bounced and caught the ball under the cover. Then pass the ball to Li Ze on the outside.

Ibaka came up to the pick-and-roll, Li Ze pretended to take his right hand, then made a fancy quick turn, and accelerated to break through Ronnie Brewer's defense with his left hand
This turn around was too fast, Boozer was about to shrink his defense, Li Ze made a concealed ground pass with his left hand, and the tortoise, who cut the ball, flew into the air directly after receiving the ball, hitting Koufos who had just entered the field, ruthlessly Hit the ball hard.

"哐" made the basketball rack shake, and the tortoise turned to the sky and roared angrily.

"Wow!"

The audience cheered for a while, the dunk was too brutal, the defender dunked the center, this scene was so exciting.

"Kufus was directly kicked off, Russell is too violent, I like this kind of offense, Kayce's pass is just right!" The on-site commentator Twain shouted excitedly.

This kind of tactic was actually during the UCLA period. Li Ze often played against Guigui. Under normal circumstances, Guigui should pass the ball to Li Ze. Changed roles.

Coach Brooks also discovered this. This tactic is to pull Kirilenko out. Durant can open up space for the team, which can liberate the tortoise's off-ball cutting ability.

"Westbrook's physical quality is really good, but Kayce's pass is even more exciting. You can see the kung fu when you get rid of it on the line. This show is really good."

Zhang Weiping has already turned on the blowing mode, the more he watches Li Ze the more he appreciates it
Turtle, who returned to defense, indicated that the pass was beautiful, but Li Ze remained calm. At present, his physical attributes and basketball skills have no pressure against ordinary role players, and it is impossible to limit him one-on-one.

Ronnie Price is also a good point guard. Facing the oppressive defense of the turtles, he still made no mistakes. After the pick-and-roll, he passed to Boozer. It works well.

"哐" iron, center Krstic protected the rebound and passed it directly to Li Ze.

Quickly dribbled through halftime, Li Ze called Ibaka's pick-and-roll again, and after a behind-the-back dribble, he directly used his right hand to accelerate the breakthrough.

Boozer slowed down a bit, and Koufus wanted to come up to help defend, and at this moment of hesitation, Li Ze made a high-throw pass.

Krstic leaped high, alley-ooped, and smashed the ball into the basket.

Although the "kuang" was not buckled violently, the audience still gave huge cheers.

This is the advantage of being tall and long. Boozer is a little short, and Koufus has a problem with his defensive position. Li Ze seized the opportunity in an instant and sent an alley-oop.

Head coach Brooks was delighted. This is the point guard he wants. He is talented and strong in execution. The team's current offensive space is very good. When necessary, the center can be replaced and the front line can be used. All of them can shoot.

The Utah Jazz called a timeout, and it seemed that Sloan had to talk to the team about defense and make a rotation by the way.

"Yes, Kayce, keep the rhythm. Ibaka pays attention to the defense. Their inside movement is not fast. Everyone play well for the last three minutes." Brooks head coach waved his hand, and all the substitutes came on the stage.

Li Ze and Eric Maynor partnered in the backcourt, Nick Collison and Ibaka formed the forwards, and rookie Byron played the center. This substitute is tall and slow.

The Utah Jazz also replaced the bench lineup, Ronnie Price and Wesley Matthews formed the back line, Kyle Korver and CJ Myers topped the forwards, and Koufus played the center, strengthening the movement speed.

Sure enough, the Utah Jazz accelerated the rotation of the ball when attacking. After passing the ball continuously, Korver made a 3-pointer from the outside.

"哐" strikes the iron, and I still need to find the feel when I first play.

The long rebound was picked up by Li Ze, and he quickly pushed it up to change the attack. Matthews clung to Li Ze, trying to make a mistake, but this confrontation was useless at all.

Li Ze suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, dribbled the ball with his left hand, raised his center of gravity, dribbled the ball under the crotch, and then quickly changed direction in front of his body. Make it up.

Li Ze faced the defense with a false pass, and Ibaka followed up with a dunk.

"Wow, beautiful pass, Kayce!" Ibaka shouted excitedly after dunking, Matthews felt that he was abused by the rookie, and he couldn't hold back his face.

"Beautiful dribble, Kayce's dribble in front of the ball is too exciting, Matthews has been defending his right hand, but it seems to have no effect so far, the physical test report is right, balanced two-handed ball control skills. "

The host of CCTV, Yu Jia, was dumbfounded. This technique, this body, is this a rookie?

"This ball is really beautiful, and the pass is good. Don't say it, Kayce is really interesting to play point guard. The coach of the Thunder has a lot of ideas!" Zhang Weiping looked at it with a smile on his face.

The Jazz's Plath organized the offense. The current lineup can shoot from outside and has fast footwork. After consecutive breakthroughs and points, Matthews faced Li Ze's defense and shot a jumper from the three-point line.

"Shua" went into the net hollowly, the Thunder's rotation slowed down, and it was already too late for Li Ze to pounce.

While retreating, Matthews looked at Li Ze and shouted: "Welcome to the NBA, rookie!" After being easily passed the last round, he couldn't hold back his face, so he had to find a place at this time.

"???"

Li Ze has a question mark on his face, this can also pretend to be X, what are you looking like as a substitute role player?
Li Ze gave the ball to May Nuo, then dribbled it halfway, gestured to his teammates, and directly asked for the ball in a low position. Pull out, step forward and defend closely.

But Li Ze released the ball quickly, dribbled the ball with a cross step, pulled back quickly with his right hand, dribbled the ball with his left hand and hit Matthews twice to reach his shooting hot spot, and quickly combined the ball.

A fake move of shaking his shoulders, directly shaking Matthews away, turning over and shooting a jumper.

"Shua" entered the net hollowly, and the whole set of movements was fast and coherent. Li Ze just spread his hands towards Matthews, indicating that the ball was very easy.

"Wow, what did we see, this kind of footsteps, this kind of fadeaway jumper, it seems to be Kobe!" The commentator Twain made a voice of admiration.

Zhang Weiping on CCTV was also happy to see, "The action in front is really beautiful, not to mention, this fadeaway jumper is really similar to Kobe's, it's very stretched!"

Matthews looked at Li Ze's handsome face and got angry. He was an undrafted player, and he was jealous of the high-ranking rookie. In addition, he lost face in front of him, so he slandered the rookie, but was rejected again. Li Ze learned a lesson
The teammates also saw that Matthews was unhappy, so they searched for him more when attacking. As a result, Matthews was a little bit superior, and faced Li Ze with the ball and killed him. Throw the ball out.

Li Ze saw the route and copied it directly. He strode directly towards the opponent's half, and Korver went straight to the ball.

At this time, with 36 seconds left in the first quarter, the Thunder led 25-20.

Price signaled his teammates to slow down and play the last attack. The Jazz found an opportunity through the pick-and-roll attack, and finally passed to Korver in the bottom corner for a three-pointer.

"Shua" hit steadily, Korver's shooting skills are really good.

After passing halftime quickly, Mayno directly broke through to the inside through Byron's pick-and-roll, faced the help defense, and passed the ball to Li Ze in the bottom corner. With 6 seconds left, he caught the ball in a familiar way.

Li Ze's fake shot almost sent Matthews flying, he pretended to break through with the ball in his right hand, then took a quick step back, and shot a jumper directly from outside the 3-point line.

"Shua" scored easily, and the goal was right in front of the Thunder team's bench. After scoring, the tortoise screamed.

"Can you play in the NBA at this level? You are a rookie." Li Ze said to Matthews with a smile on his face.

This completely broke the defense for Matthews. He was undrafted and almost couldn't make it to the NBA. He wanted to push Li Ze when he went up. As a result, the Thunder bench saw his movement and surrounded him directly. .

"Just wait, rookie, I will teach you a lesson!" Matthews was still stubborn.

Li Ze was completely speechless, some people can't see that you are stronger than him, the king of mouth, he didn't answer, curled his lips, and made a helpless expression.

"It seems that our best rookie has a little conflict with the opponent's player, haha, I like Kayce's performance!" The commentator Tewen was already happy, and directly loaned the best rookie to Li Ze.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder took the lead 28 to 23. Li Ze played well, 3 of 3, 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Coach Brooks was very satisfied.
