The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 96 Miami Tour

In the NBA league, many teams have been unable to improve their performance. A large part of the reason is that they lose their numbness. After being numb, they will play poorly, and there will be no winning culture in the locker room.

When rookies come to such a team, they will have a hard time playing in the first few years, because rebuilding requires a process.

During the intermission, Jordan Jr. on the Clippers' bench watched the team's veterans fall behind and still looked calm, and joked from time to time, feeling suddenly uncomfortable.

"DeAndre, you go on the court first in the second quarter, pay attention to protecting the backcourt rebounds, and don't foul easily!"

The old Dunleavy looked around on the bench, and finally sighed helplessly. He still chose DeAndre Jordan, a second-round rookie last year. A child who is actively training deserves more playing time.

Little Jordan was taken aback for a moment, then got up straight away, quickly took off his coat, "I'm ready, coach!"

Old Dunleavy didn't say anything, and patted Jordan on the shoulder.

Early in the second quarter, the Clippers paired Kareem Rush and Sebastian Telfair in the backcourt, Craig Smith and Marcus Camby up front, and little jordan.

Marcus Camby's lateral movement speed is slow, and the old Dunleavy is a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he has sent Jordan Jr. with excellent athletic ability. He hopes that the two can complement each other and withstand the impact of the Thunder.

The Thunder carried out a regular rotation. Li Ze and Sefolosha partnered in the backcourt, and Ethan Thomas, Ibaka, and Nick Collison also played in normal rotation.

"The Clippers replaced the rookie center DeAndre Jordan they selected last year. Is this the surprise of Coach Dunleavy?"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the home commentator Twain noticed the new faces of the Clippers, so he quickly looked through the information and introduced the players.

Sebastian Telfair felt his scalp tingle when he saw Li Zelai defending him after he dribbled halfway. Isn't this bullying?
The 191cm Westbrook is enough to defend him. Li Ze looks 2 meters tall, and Sebastian Telfair is only 183cm. This matchup directly makes others numb.

After all, he is not Paul, and his physical fitness is not good enough to explode. When he meets a player with strange talents, he will basically be deflated.

After Li Ze came on the court, he stuck to Sebastian Telfair. He likes to defend this kind of small guard with average physical talent and short stature.

Keeping up with the footsteps and covering the opponent with his body, coupled with the bonus of the silver badge [marking master], he would harass and cut the ball from time to time, making it difficult for Sebastian Telfair to defend the ball.

After protecting the ball, he quickly made an offensive gesture, and Jordan immediately raised the pick-and-roll, but unfortunately the quality of the pick-and-roll was too poor, and Li Ze easily squeezed through.

Sebastian Telfair was just relaxing after a pick-and-roll when a hand appeared on the ball.

"Snapped"

After squeezing through the pick-and-roll, Li Ze directly cut off the ball in the opponent's hand. After copying the ball, he dribbled the ball and accelerated across the half court, and took off directly after passing the free throw line.

Glide in the air, dunk with one arm!
"Kang" steals and dunks in one go.

"Ah!! Ah!!"

The audience at the Ford Center immediately gave a huge cheer for this wonderful dunk.

After the dunk, Li Ze quickly returned to the defense with a calm face, and the boss had to pretend to be X quietly.

"Wow! Kayce is definitely a nightmare for some guards. Sebastian Telfair relaxes after the pick and roll. He paid the price!"

The narrator, Te Wen, is also a die-hard fan of Li Ze, and it was a joy to blow it up.

Old Dunleavy yelled from the sidelines, constantly reminding the players to concentrate.

But this is of no use. The Clippers' offense can't be played. Jordan's pick-and-roll quality is problematic.

As a result, the attack was blocked by Collison and Ibaka. Ibaka received the rebound and passed it directly to Li Ze.

Quickly dribbled through halftime, Li Ze handed the ball directly to Sefoloza, and began to run without the ball. After Collison gave Li Ze a back screen, he went straight down, and at the same time Li Ze quickly bounced out.

Jordan's defensive attention was focused on Li Ze, but his reaction was a bit slow. Sefolosha made a through pass, and Collison under the basket directly scored the ball.

This simple Spanish pick-and-roll is very practical, especially when playing a rookie insider with little defensive experience like Jordan.

After the goal, Collison gave his teammates a thumbs up. The offense was too easy.

The Clippers attacked Sebastian Telfair and crossed the ball directly after halftime. After receiving the ball, Karim Rush played a pick-and-roll with Marcus Camby.

But Sefolosha's defense is also good. After squeezing, he constantly puts physical pressure on the opponent. In the penalty area, Ibaka also constantly greets his teammates. After several consecutive transmissions, the Clippers still do not have a good chance.

In the end, Kareem Rush faced the defense and forced a shot from outside the three-point line.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

The long rebound jumped out and was picked up by Li Ze, who immediately launched a conversion attack, but the Clippers retreated very quickly. Seeing that there was no chance, they made an offensive gesture to signal their teammates to slow down.

Quickly handed the ball to Etan Thomas, Li Ze ran without the ball again, and Sefolosha also went to catch the ball.

Collison still gave Li Ze a back screen, and then went down. Jordan did not miss anyone in the defense this time, but Li Ze successfully got rid of the defense and bounced to catch the ball.

Sebastian Telfair had no choice but to rush over to defend. Li Ze made a three-threat after receiving the ball. Seeing the opponent's defense moved back, he directly pulled up a jumper.

"Shua" 3-pointer hollow into the net.

"Beautiful three-pointer, Kayce directly ignored the opponent's defense, I think the game may be over, we lead by 19 points!"

The commentator Twen also swelled after seeing Li Ze score the goal, and directly announced that the Thunder had won.

The old Dunleavy directly asked for a timeout. This game can't be played. Jordan's pick-and-roll quality is not good, he can't play offensively, and he can't defend defensively. He himself is a little discouraged.

During the timeout, the fans at the Ford Center Arena were in high spirits. When the DJ played the happy song, everyone screamed, and they were about to win again. The 10-game winning streak was already waving to them.

"Great job! Bro, that three-point shot was so cool!"

Durant's face was full of excitement, winning 10 games in a row, ranking first in the league, he never dreamed of such a situation last season, the feeling of winning is really good.

"Dunk from the free throw line, Kayce, you should try to dunk from the free throw line, that's one small step away!"

Guigui was still thinking about the dunk just now, he couldn't dunk that effect by himself, so he wanted Li Ze to dunk it for him to enjoy.

Li Ze smiled and responded to the ridicule of his teammates. He knew that there was no suspense in this game.

Sure enough, the ensuing game was tepid. After the two sides reached the middle of the third quarter, they replaced the substitutes and announced that the game had entered garbage time.

In the end, the Thunder beat the Los Angeles Clippers 118-96.

Li Ze is also very happy, because his statistics are easy and good-looking. He made 13 of 8 in the game, 3 of 5 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 21 points, 6 rebounds and 14 assists, which is barely a big double-double. Bar
Durant was also very happy. He made 16 of 14, 3 of 2 2-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 34 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. He got better and better. Half of Li Ze's assists were given to him. of.

Turtle was also happy, because he also had a double-double, 14 of 8, 3 of 2 1-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 21 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 turnovers. Krstic was full of cakes. up.

The Thunder team has won 10 consecutive victories and ranks first in the league. Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant are also completely popular. The first-year, second-year, and third-year rookies are so terrifying!

After the game, everyone in the Thunder locker room was beaming with joy. Winning is a joy.

"Okay, boys, go home and rest early, we are flying to Miami tomorrow, and then we will play a back-to-back away game, don't relax!"

Head coach Brooks cools down the players in advance. The winning streak is a good thing, but the coaching staff still has a lot of work to do, and he has no good solution to the flaws in the lineup.

"Shet!! Why does our schedule always have back-to-back games, and we go away after the home game!"

The team members complained as soon as they heard this, the schedule was indeed unfriendly.

"Kayce, Miami is my place, my good brother is over there, tomorrow is here, let's relax!"

Taking advantage of the ice compress, Durant said to Li Ze with the appearance of an old driver.

"Don't listen to him, Kayce, we didn't see any hot girls in Miami last year!"

When Jeff Green heard this, he immediately complained about what happened last year.

"This year is different, Michael found a good place over there, you just follow me!"

Durant's good brother Michael Beasley was selected by the Heat with the second pick in the first round last year. He averaged 13.9 points per game in his rookie season and is currently doing well in Miami.

"No problem, as long as you don't get stopped outside the door, you can only drink alcohol at the age of 21. This rule is too unfriendly!"

Li Ze shrugged, saying that he would wait for the old driver to take him away.

"Haha, just wait, I promise to make everyone high!" Durant was already high now.
The 10-game winning streak of the Thunder has also attracted a lot of attention in China on the other side of the ocean. It is not popular these days to still play crazy three-pointers outside.

Muscle collisions, fadeaway jump shots, and breakthrough dunks are the fans' favorites. The Thunder almost accounted for these three points, so the number of fans has skyrocketed recently, and Li Ze's No. 10 jersey is also selling well.

Although it was already very late in Oklahoma City after the game, international student Qin Hua started posting when he got back to the hotel. He had to show off, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to sleep.

"If you don't understand, just ask, is Li Ze's autographed jersey worth collecting?" As soon as this post was posted, it immediately attracted a lot of lemon spirits.

"The landlord is really going to get an autograph! And a group photo?"

"The landlord has made a lot of money this time. He watched two games in a row in the front row, signed autographs and took photos together. What kind of shit luck is this?"

Seeing everyone chatting lemons in front of the computer, Qin Hua immediately felt relieved, and continued typing on the keyboard to post photos.

"It's okay, in fact, I also have the autographs and group photos of Durant and Westbrook!"

"Go! I want to go directly along the network cable and kill you pretending to be X!"

"Add me, this X outfit is too big!"

Qin Hua, an international student, saw the number of replies soaring, and immediately lay down on the bed laughing and screaming, this feeling is so cool.
The next day, the Thunder team flew directly to Miami to start their road trip. On the plane, everyone continued to hold Texas Hold'em.

"Wade won the championship so early, which is really enviable!"

Durant sighed while looking at the cards, Wade's championship experience is indeed somewhat legendary.

"But now Wade alone can't support the Heat. O'Neal left after winning the championship. I thought he would stay in the Heat forever."

Wade averaged 30.2 points per game last season, and Jeff Green also admired the opponent's ability very much.

"It is said that the Heat's training was too strict, and O'Neal couldn't stand it and left, but I didn't expect him to go to the Cavaliers this year!"

Turtle really didn't expect the old Shark to team up with LeBron James.

Li Ze silently looked at the bad cards in his hand, and didn't answer, but couldn't help complaining in his heart:
"In the future, there may be more unexpected things for everyone."
