The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 83 15 Points in a Single Section

The Orlando Magic, which reached the finals last year, was completely suppressed by the Thunder in the first quarter. This was something that many fans at the scene did not expect.

28 to 22, the Thunder led by 6 points in the first quarter, the score is not important, what is important is the performance on the court, Howard is like a tiger in a cage, unable to exert energy.
"We have to give applause to Coach Brooks and the entire coaching staff. Their tactical arrangements for this game were very successful!"

The home commentator Tewen knows that the Thunder can take the lead, and this excellent tactical system has played a huge role.

During the holiday break, Coach Brooks told Li Ze:

"Kayce, play aggressively, take advantage of the transition and take the shot when you get the chance,"

"I understand, coach." Li Ze nodded immediately.

The Magic's coaching staff naturally also studied the Thunder's bench lineup, so at the beginning of the second quarter, they took the defensive tough guy Matt Barnes to mark Li Ze.

In this way, the Magic's bench lineup is Jason Williams and JJ Redick in the backcourt, Barnes and Michael Pietrus on the front line, and Marcin Gortat at center.

Although this lineup suffers from height, Van Gundy is mainly for offense, Gortat grabs inside, and the four outside all have three-pointers. The offensive space is very wide.

The Thunder are still the same, Li Ze and Sefolosha partnered in the backcourt, and Ethan Thomas, Serge Ibaka and Nick Collison were on the front line.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court, glanced at the Magic lineup, and immediately gestured to his teammates, and Collison stepped up to catch the ball.

Li Ze was in the low position through the cover of his teammates. Matt Barnes has been giving Li Ze a physical confrontation, trying to push him outward, so as not to let Li Ze get too deep.

But the Thunder team cooperated tacitly, and Li Ze just got a good position, and Sefoloza directly lobbed the ball to Li Ze.

After taking the ball, he directly made a three-threat. Seeing that Matt Barnes in front of him didn't hesitate, Li Ze quickly released the ball, dribbled the ball with his right hand and accelerated the breakthrough. .

This sudden pause made Matt Barnes couldn't help stepping forward to defend. As a result, Li Ze dribbled the ball with his left hand and accelerated his breakthrough again.

"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.

The offensive badge has brought a lot of bonuses to Li Ze, [Ball Control Master] + [Emergency Stop Master] are very effective for breaking through defense.

Williams, who came off the bench, felt a little sad when he saw Li Ze's performance. Are all the young people so good now?
White Chocolate is no longer as brave as before. After retiring for a year, he returned to the Magic team after his comeback. He played well in the first few games, but he felt that he was going to be cold in this game.
The Thunder were man-to-man on defense, and Li Ze continued to chase Redick, determined not to let the shooter find the feeling of shooting.

However, the Magic moved very quickly from the perimeter. Williams played the ball after the pick-and-roll, and continued to conduct. Matt Bales hit a three-pointer from the perimeter.

Van Gundy was also relieved after seeing the goal off the court. If he didn't score, the point difference would be in double digits.

As soon as Li Ze received the ball, Matt Barnes immediately came up to pester him, as if he wanted to catch Li Ze by surprise.

Unfortunately, this kind of pressing defense has little effect on Li Ze. After continuous physical confrontation, Matt Barnes found that Li Ze still has a lot of control over the ball.
After halftime, seeing that the opponent was still sticking to the defense, Li Ze first turned his back to protect the ball, twisted his upper body to the right, and at the same time made a fake move with his left hand, then quickly held the ball with his right hand, and as soon as the center of gravity of his body dropped, he accelerated directly .

After being shaken for a while, Matt Barnes quickly adjusted his center of gravity, but Li Ze dribbled the ball under his crotch again, and then quickly pulled back, completely shaking the opponent in a sudden stop and start.

Take a step-back jumper and shoot directly from outside the 3-point line.

"Shua" 3-pointer hit steadily.

"Oh!! Wow!!"

This lightning-like Crossover made the audience in the Ford Center Arena hooked and cheered.

When Durant saw Matt Barnes defending so close, he knew that Li Ze would definitely pass the opponent. After seeing this fancy goal, he yelled exaggeratedly on the bench.

This atmosphere is very well organized
Seeing this scene off the court, Van Gundy immediately felt that this game was difficult. If the offense failed to score, this game would be completely explained.

Fortunately, in the next period of time, the Magic's outside line continued to shoot. Except for Redick who was still very strong, everyone scored goals.

Gortat's constant rushing for offensive rebounds also limited the Thunder's transition offense, but the score still could not be narrowed because Li Ze's firepower was fully fired.

In the low post, facing Barnes' defense, he turned over and succeeded in a fadeaway jumper.

Facing Pietrus' defense after the pick-and-roll, he accelerated the dribble with his right hand and made a direct drift jumper.

After his teammates continued to cover without the ball, Li Ze caught the ball and directly slammed into Reddick, entered the penalty area from the baseline, faced Gortat's block, pulled the bar in the air, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

Just over 3 minutes into the second quarter, Li Ze had already scored 11 points, and he alone withstood the Magic's outside counterattack. This kind of gaudy offensive performance made the audience enthusiastic.

"Unbelievable, Kayce has completely penetrated the Magic's defense, God, is this really a rookie?"

The commentator Te Wen was stunned by Li Ze's performance, which was too strong, so strong that he called God directly
After scoring consecutive goals, Li Ze still looked calm. After all, it is right to play such an attack against the defense of these role players.

The badge bonus is basically useless against superstar players, but it is really easy and stress-free to play this level of defense. After all, Li Ze has crushed the opponent in terms of physical condition.

Van Gundy began to roar loudly on the sidelines again, signaling his teammates to strengthen their defense.

After Gortat failed to make a layup, Ibaka received the rebound and immediately passed it to Li Ze. Just after halftime, Li Ze found that the Magic began to pinch him.

"As for it? Come on again, I'm still a rookie." Li Ze handed over the ball in desperation.

After passing the ball a few times, Collison scored the ball under the basket, and the double-team will naturally pay the price.

But the Magic's strategy is like this, and Matt Barnes and Gortat take turns to talk trash to Li Ze.

"Rookie, continue your offensive performance, continue your fancy dribbling, under our defense, you will not score another goal!"

Matt Barnes chattered in Li Ze's ear, and when Gortat came up to pick and roll, Li Ze staggered directly.

"Boy, go home and drink milk, this is a man's sport, put away your fancy dribbling moves."

Gortat also started to make trouble here. After the referee called the foul, the guy was still screaming.

Li Ze has a helpless face, a tool person should have a little awareness, what's the point of looking for a sense of existence when he is old.
After Matt Barnes made a foul and stood on the free throw line, he had to take a proud look at Li Ze, and then he made 2 of 1 free throws and pulled his hips. This funny Li Ze laughed out loud.

"Man, you should practice your free throws. Next time you play X, remember to hit two free throws for better results!"

While dribbling the ball, Li Ze said to Matt Barnes, who was defending himself closely. After hearing this, the latter immediately increased his physical confrontation angrily.

This time Li Ze didn't call it a pick-and-roll. After halftime, he dribbled the ball behind his back continuously, and suddenly dribbled the ball with his right hand and changed direction in front of his body. Matt Barnes.

After getting rid of the defense, he accelerated in a straight line. Li Ze's breakthrough was too fast. Gortat just came over to help defend and wanted to jump up to block the block, but Li Ze didn't dodge.

Facing Gortat's defense, a powerful one-armed tomahawk dunk!
"bang"

Gortat was directly smashed by Li Ze, and the ball went in and flew!

After landing, Li Ze didn't celebrate too much. He shook his head and shouted loudly:
"Soft!!!"

This one word made the Magic team break the defense collectively. They huffed and tried to surround Li Ze, but all the teammates from the Thunder team came up and pushed each other away, and the two sides immediately shoved each other.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the referee hurried forward to separate the crowd.

The audience saw that Li Ze's dunk had already exploded, and when they saw that the Magic wanted to fight, they immediately got excited and started yelling at each other.

"God, Kayce smashed Gortat, this is definitely the best goal of the day, haha, it seems that the Magic has been rushed here, and they will lose this game."

The commentator Twain was completely happy at this time, and directly announced the Thunder's victory
After the game continued, Matt Barnes and Gortat stopped talking, but the movements on both sides gradually increased, and the referee whistled frequently.

Li Ze was also polite, knowing that the opponent's fouls were counted, he directly broke through and made kills, and walked to the free throw line.

After making two free throws, Li Ze looked at Matt Barnes with a smile on his face, then shrugged playfully, and slowly began to retreat.

Maybe it was broken by Li Ze. The Magic started to hit the iron again and again. The Thunder seized the opportunity and played a wave of 2-6 in more than 0 minutes, and the point difference came to 14 points.

Van Gundy called a timeout again. He knew in his heart that the game was basically over. Thinking that Jameer Nelson would be targeted after he played, he almost went to the drinking fountain and gave up.

Li Ze was also replaced, and the performance of 15 points in a single quarter made Guigui's blood boiling from the sidelines.

"Great job Kayce, as I said earlier, you need to do some more dunks, look at the crowd, they love you!"

Guigui screamed excitedly, and his teammates couldn't wait to play.

Li Ze greeted everyone with a fist bump with a smile, but secretly sighed in his heart, he couldn't gain too much badge experience!
"The general situation of the game has been decided. The Shunfeng Gods of War are attacking hard, and the second half is a rhythm of three quarters. This game is a bit of a loss!"
