The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 111 Conquering Jennings (please subscribe~)

On November 11th, a rare rest time, after returning from Salt Lake City, the Thunder directly gave the players a day off, allowing everyone to take a good rest and spend more time with their families.

Li Ze is alone in Oklahoma City, with only three bald trainers to accompany him in daily iron training.

After breakfast, Li Ze started browsing Reddit again to see how local fans in Oklahoma City praised him. At this time, a post caught his attention.

"Brandon Jennings thinks he is the best rookie in the 09 class, and bluntly pointed out that Kayce is a data brush!"

After clicking on the post, Li Ze laughed out loud, and the Oklahoma City fans had already started whipping Jennings' corpse repeatedly.

"Look at this Mr. Big Mouth, who vilifies Kayce almost every week, and he is still expressing his dissatisfaction with losing the Player of the Week."

"The thing is, James Harden was much better than Kayce even if he wasn't the best player of the week!"

"I think Tyreke Evans is better than him. Is Jennings crazy?"

"Guys, because Rookie of the Month is coming up, this guy is just trying to get the media attention."

"Great, I was able to witness Kayce receiving the award on the spot, but it's a pity that Kevin Durant almost won the award of the week, otherwise we could see the two players receiving the award together at home."

"Fack, where do you buy your tickets? I want to watch the game live. Kayce is so handsome. I watch his Youtube channel every day. His figure is so good."

"Yes, super sexy muscles, God, I really like him so much, is there someone who is kind enough to sell me a ticket, I want to go to the scene to get an autograph, and it's better to have a few more group photos!"

When Li Ze saw this post, he couldn't help but check the other party's profile. When he saw that the other party was a muscular man, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he silently closed the post.
Brandon Jennings was selected by the Bucks with the 10th pick in the first round of this year. He is playing well so far, but compared to Li Ze, he is the younger brother.

After all, there is still the big brother Michael Reed in the Bucks. If you want the ball, you have to ask him if he agrees.

The time came to the afternoon of November 11th, after everyone in the Thunder team finished the tactical training session, they also talked about Brandon Jennings.

This big mouth, in the past few days, has spoken frequently in the face of media interviews. The implication is that Li Ze brushes the data, and he should get more honors.

"Kayce, do you need us to teach him a lesson for the game tonight? The Jennings family has spoken a bunch of shit again!"

Durant thought that Li Ze didn't pay attention to the media news, and deliberately said a few remarks of the other party.

"I have to give him some color tonight. He is so arrogant when he comes to Oklahoma City. This guy must have something wrong with his brain!"

Guigui really just found out about this news. As a good man, he would obediently accompany Nina when he returned to Oklahoma City. The two of them lived happily ever after.

"Jennings is just jealous. Seeing that the Rookie of the Month is about to come out, he jumps out to slander Kayce, disgusting villain!"

Jeff Green has long been angry that the other party has been slandering Li Ze, but he is not the person involved, so it has been difficult to say anything.

"It's okay, guys, I'll guard him tonight, Russell, let's change the defender, I believe this guy will shut up after the game and never talk about me again."

Li Ze said with a calm face, talking about it is meaningless, and confronting the opponent directly at night, let Jennings know that basketball is not about talking.

The Ford Center arena is packed tonight, and the atmosphere is even hotter. Currently, the Thunder are still ranked No. 5 in the Western Conference. With [-] consecutive home games, Oklahoma City fans can finally enjoy watching it!

The Milwaukee Bucks finished 34th in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins last season and went fishing early.

In the new season, the Bucks have a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, and are currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference, so Jennings can be considered a bit of a big-mouthed capital. After all, he does have a good record.

Before the game, in the locker room of the Thunder, Coach Brooks simply explained a few words:
"Protect the rebounds, especially the long rebounds. The opponent is good at outside shooting. The long rebounds must be well controlled. That's it. Come on guys, don't let the Oklahoma City fans down!"

The DJ on the scene began to introduce the players of the home team. After Li Ze came on the stage, he was warmly welcomed by the audience again, and the scene burst into loud cheers!
Seeing Li Ze's overwhelming popularity, Jennings of the Bucks suddenly thought of lemon again.

Before the game, the players from both sides simply greeted each other, and Jennings did not take the initiative to greet Li Ze. Seeing this situation, Li Ze smiled, but secretly complained in his heart:
"Didn't the superficial brothers do it? Then don't blame me for being cruel!"

The home commentator Twain also began to introduce the Bucks' starting lineup:

"The Bucks are still regular starters tonight, with Brandon Jennings and Carlo Sdelfino at guard, Michael Reed and Ersan Ilyasova at forward, and Dan at center. -Gazuric."

"Before the game, rookie Jennings made some controversial remarks on social media. I'm looking forward to Kayce's response in this game!"

"The game officially started, and Krstic jumped to the first possession of the ball for us."

On the Thunder's first attack, Guigui quickly dribbled across the half court and immediately passed the ball to Li Ze. Krstic went on the pick-and-roll, went to the right side to speed up the breakthrough, and threw off Delfino's defense.

During the march, an In&Out on the right hand, the rhythm changes, stops and starts quickly, accelerates to pass Gadzuric in an instant, breaks into the penalty area, and dunks back!
"Kang" made a lightning-like breakthrough and dunked successfully.

"Ah! Oh!!"

The atmosphere in the Ford Center Arena exploded in an instant. Li Ze made a wonderful dunk in the opening game, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience and burst into loud cheers.

The Bucks attacked, and after Jennings dribbled for half the court, he found that Li Ze was coming to mark him, and immediately waved his hand, pretending to say that the ball was done by himself!
The other teammates also knew what Jennings meant, and they all opened up space for him, resolving grievances with their performance on the field. America likes to watch this kind of grievance matchup.

As a 185cm small guard, Jennings is most proud of his speed. Facing Li Ze's defense, he used cross steps and front changes of direction, but he found that Li Ze didn't hesitate.
With his height and wingspan, Li Ze completely overwhelmed the opponent, and his agility also suffered. With the badge blessing of [ankle protector] + [marking master], Jennings' tragedy was already doomed.

Seeing the opponent dribble behind his back and wanted to disguise himself in front of him, Li Ze saw the timing and stole the ball away.

Then he accelerated crazily, rushed across the opponent's half court, just one step past the free throw line, jumped with both feet, and dunked with a single-armed tomahawk!

"Kang" steals and dunks successfully.

"Kayce stole Jennings in one-on-one, maybe the opponent has regretted it at this time, he should have shut his big mouth earlier!"

The home commentator Twain was already happy at this time, and began to output Jennings crazily.

The crazy tortoise saw Li Ze who had returned to defense, and excitedly threw a chest bump to celebrate, and at the same time screamed strangely, stirring up the emotions of the audience!
In the next few rounds, Jennings played the pick-and-roll honestly. It only took one round before he knew the gap between himself and Li Ze, and his body was not at the same level.

But there is still a lot of time in this game. After the Thunder's offensive round, when Jennings' defense is switched, Li Ze will use the stunt that Kobe taught him in the game.

"Uncle is about to hit me on the back!"

Bang Bang several hits, a fake action of shoulder shaking, completely shook Jennings' defense, and then shot a fallback jumper.

"Shua" 2-pointer hit easily.

Continuous post-up singles, 3-point step-back, and breakthrough with the ball after the pick-and-roll, Li Ze was fully fired at home, 9 of 7 in a single quarter, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and slash 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Thunder led the opponent by 36 points 22-14 in the first quarter.

Coach Brooks on the sidelines was dumbfounded, and the home commentator Twain called out to God, the Ford Center Arena was completely boiling!

During the break between festivals, Jennings’s eyes were blank. He was defended by Li Ze and was 4 for 0. In the first quarter, he had 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 2 turnovers. At this time, he only had one thought in his heart:
"Destroy, let's end the game quickly."

It's a pity that in the rest of the game, not only did Li Ze strike hard, but Guigui and Durant also showed no mercy, scoring crazy points!

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 3 to 94, and the Thunder had already led by 74 points.

The fourth quarter completely turned into garbage time. In the end, the Thunder beat the Milwaukee Bucks 4-120 at home.

After the game, the Oklahoma City media, who like to make trouble, interviewed Jennings again,
"Dude, do you have anything else to say about this game?"

"Kayce completely destroyed me, everything I said before was shit."

Jennings was completely overwhelmed by Li Ze. In this game, under the strict defense of Li Ze, he scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers. He is also a rookie, and the gap is so big!

Li Ze scored 36 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game. He made no turnovers. He also broke through a new season high in free throws. He made 12 of 12 free throws and completely played his aggressiveness.

Durant also efficiently scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, almost without missing a shot. Coupled with Turtle's 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, the trio scored 80 points, which made Oklahoma City fans hooked.

A day later, the Thunder ushered in the Houston Rockets at home.

In the game, the Rockets were unlucky, and Scola was injured and left the field directly at the beginning of the game, which made the subsequent games no longer suspenseful.

This season, Guigui gradually regained the feeling of defending at UCLA, and completely transformed into a leader in perimeter defense.

Ordinary small guards basically gave away to the Thunder's backcourt combination, and Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry were beaten enough by the turtles.

In the end, the Thunder won the game 110 to 95 without bloodshed and continued to remain unbeaten at home.

After the game, everyone in the Thunder team in the locker room was all smiles, and they all made fun of Li Ze:
"Kayce, after this game, Rookie of the Month must be yours!"

Li Ze smiled. In this game, he efficiently scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. In addition to the data of this game, the best rookie of the month has been completely included in the bag.

"Haha, thanks to the support of the brothers, this award belongs to all of us!"

"Wow!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When everyone heard this, they booed and yelled, and Li Ze also smiled happily:

"It feels really good to accept the award at home, the best rookie of the month!"
