The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 126 Xiao Du, the locker room is all mine! (Please subscribe~)

Since the Thunder's rise this season, many teams in the league are flying with jealousy!

But even though they were so jealous, most of the players were friendly during the game. They all played in the league, and they still had to be superficial brothers.

The role players are not stupid in their hearts. If they swear at the Thunder during the game, if they are traded in the future, they will definitely have no good results!It is the last word to save face and not to delay making money.

But for star players who have already become famous, there is no need to think so much. Stoudemire is not happy with the Thunder. Anyway, it is impossible to become a younger brother of the Thunder in the future, and there is no pressure to talk trash.

In the first few minutes of the game, as Krstic was pulled to the outside by Channing Frye, this caused problems for the Thunder to protect the rim inside.

Stoudemire, who is physically strong, whether it is a pick-and-roll roll or a low-post attack, Jeff Green has no choice but to be eaten alive by defense alone!
The Suns attack and Channing Frye and Stoudemire set a cross screen in the paint.

Channing Frye ran to the bottom corner immediately after the screen, Nash hit the ground and passed to Stoudemire in the low post, and the other Suns also cleared the side to open up the offensive space.

After Stoudemire received the ball, he quickly released the ball with his right hand, approached the basket by hitting twice in a row, turned around and joined the ball, and easily threw it with his left hand.

"Shua" made two points at the basket and made a steady hit.

"Man, follow me, power forwards should play like this, you're a big cupcake!"

After scoring, Stoudemire gave Jeff Green a pause, turned around and ran after speaking, and did not give Jeff Green a chance to respond.
"Fake!"

Jeff Green smashed the ball twice angrily. Although the heights are about the same, the weight and strength of the two are not on the same level at all. It is difficult to prevent the opponent's low attack.

Just over 4 minutes into the first quarter, the two sides are currently tied at 14. Both sides have a particularly high shooting rate, and they are basically in a state of offensive and mutual stabbing.

Seeing Stoudemire spouting trash talk endlessly, Li Ze felt angry in his heart.

In fact, there are very few people in the league who talk trash to Li Ze. One is because Li Ze is physically strong, and his tendons are not for nothing. The other is because he had a big fight with Artest before, letting everyone know that he is really not good. messed with.

Most of the black brothers are tough with their mouths, and if they really want to fight, they will definitely fight and retreat, but Stoudemire's big mouth in this game really annoyed Li Ze.

"squeak"

Coach Brooks directly requested a timeout, and he had to make substitutions and adjustments. Although Krstic could punish the opponent's center forward in the low post on the offensive end, the effect on the defensive end was very unsatisfactory.

"Krstic, take a break first, Ibaka, if the opponent crosses the screen after playing, switch directly, guys, we must continue to speed up the offensive rhythm and hit the opponent's basket!"

Before the timeout ended, Li Ze comforted Jeff Green in a low voice:
"Green, add some cuts off the ball, I'll find you when I get the chance!"

After Li Ze finished speaking, he patted Jeff Green on the shoulder. Before he could speak, he turned around and left to serve the baseline.

Jeff Green was moved. Every time he became a defensive colander, Li Ze never complained, nor would he talk about his defensive problems, but would tell him to strengthen his offense.

"Good brother!"

When Durant peeked at this scene, he felt that his corner was about to be dug through. Jeff Green was his man, and the sense of crisis came to his heart again:
"If I had known that I would have added some ball-handling training in the first two years, no! I must play more proactively, and I would get more points!"

After returning from the timeout, the Suns took the lead in changing their pick-and-roll defense strategy, and replaced Nash on the pick-and-roll to protect Nash on the defensive end.

Seeing that his high pick-and-roll failed, Guigui immediately made an offensive gesture. Li Ze passed Ibaka's screen and bounced the ball 45 degrees to the left from outside the three-point line. Durant was also in the left corner at this time.

After seeing Li Ze catch the ball, Durant first pretended to go up the line and came over to play a hand-off, then his body shook, and he suddenly ran back and cut along the baseline.

Li Ze's pass was also just right. After anticipating Durant's air cut, he passed an early pass. After receiving the ball, Durant rushed forward in three strides and dunked with one arm with his right hand!
"Kang" made an empty cut dunk.

After Ibaka came on the court, the Thunder's offensive space was completely opened up, clearing the paint area, making it easier for the Thunder's trio to attack the basket.

The 37-year-old Grant Hill saw Durant's air-cut dunk, and his expression was a bit complicated. He thought that his athletic ability would never be inferior to the opponent, but the injury almost ruined his career.

Although with the help of the Suns team doctor, Grant Hill's physical condition has recovered, and his attendance rate has continued to improve in recent years, but his old body can hardly withstand the impact of Durant.

Li Ze felt a little strange, and Durant suddenly became more active, but after thinking about it, more cuts off the ball are also a good thing, so he put those strange feelings behind him.

In the Suns offense, Stoudemire was still on the pick-and-roll, and Nash broke through on the right after the pick-and-roll.

But Steve Nash suddenly paused during the march, accelerated his breakthrough again after changing the rhythm, and succeeded in picking the basket with one hand with his right hand.

Players in the league have mastered this offensive technique by changing the rhythm, taking two steps and laying up. However, Nash used this trick with ease and smoothness, which made the turtle's defense unable to do its best.

"Nash's signature layup is really beautiful. This change of rhythm is worth learning for young players."

In the Sina studio, Ma Jian immediately expressed his admiration when he saw Nash's layup.

When the Suns changed their defensive strategy, the Thunder also replaced their offensive core with Li Ze and Durant.

Coach Brooks is not worried about the team's offense at all, because Li Ze and Durant can play alone without any difference. As long as they cover well and let the two successfully catch the ball in their shooting hot spots, the offense will be more than half.

Both Jeff Green and Ibaka went up and double-screened for Li Ze's cross-cut in the elbow area of ​​the free throw line. Has become Channing Frye.

After the three-threat, the right hand quickly released the ball, crossed the dribble and pulled it back. At this time, the left hand held the ball suddenly paused, and made a false move to join the ball, shaking Channing Frye's center of gravity forward.

At this time, Li Ze made a simple change of direction under the crotch, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, easily passed the opponent's defense, and rushed to the basket.

Stoudemire returned to the defense quickly, but it was a pity that Li Ze made a fake pass. Ibaka, who cut into the penalty area, dunked with both hands after receiving the ball.

"Shh!"

At the US Airways Center Arena, Li Ze started booing. After Ibaka dunked, some irritable guys even started to curse. The Thunder had too many dunks in the first quarter, and the fans were very dissatisfied.

Head coach Gentry felt a little helpless when he saw the situation on the court. The Suns' perimeter defense was difficult to limit the opponent.

The Thunder's offense is not complicated. Many teams in the league use cross-cutting screen tactics. The Thunder just made some minor changes.

For example, Li Ze likes to cut from right to left and catch the ball outside the three-point line. Durant likes to cut from left to right and catch the ball inside the three-point line; After receiving the ball, Rand has a high probability of taking two quick stop jump shots.

Of course the coaching staff of the Suns knows these characteristics, but it is useless to know, because no one can guard against them.
In the rest of the first quarter, the two teams began to poke each other crazily. Once the opponent hit the iron, they switched offenses quickly. This is the style of the Suns, but the Thunder played more and more comfortably.

Especially Turtle, as long as the Thunder have an opportunity to switch offense, he will easily play a one-stop layup performance.

By the end of the first quarter, 36 to 31, the Thunder led by 5 points in the away game. Although the Suns were temporarily behind, the audience was in high spirits and watched the fast-paced scoring performance. Everyone likes to watch this kind of game.

During the break during the festival, Durant and Jeff Green were both gulping water. Their bodies hadn't recovered to their best condition, and they ran wildly in the first quarter. The two had to take a break and take a breather.

Li Ze, Guigui, and Ibaka looked relaxed. This kind of offensive and defensive rhythm is actually their favorite.

Especially Ibaka, who finally got a lot of playing time, and ate Li Ze's flying cakes in the first quarter. At this time, he felt full of energy.

Coach Brooks saw this situation and immediately carried forward the glorious tradition of the Thunder. Short rotations continued. Sefolosha and Nick Collison replaced Jeff Green and Durant who had physical problems. The starter continues to play.

The head coach of Gentry also has a short rotation, replacing Steve Nash with Goran Dragic, replacing Grant Hill with Jared Dudley, giving the veteran a rest, and the remaining three starters continue to top .

After the start of the second quarter, the two sides started an offensive battle again. The Suns would also create singles opportunities for Stoudemire in the low post, while the Thunder began to play simple and rude breakthroughs.

Guigui has been killing madly. Facing Dragic's defense, don't pick and roll. He will kill the penalty area after changing his body. If someone is defending, he will throw the ball out. He found that his good brother Li Ze can always put his own Passes converted into assists
Even if the pass is worse, Li Ze will reorganize after catching the ball, and the tortoise, who has no worries, seems to have returned to the rookie season when he was playing iron and leveling. He played aggressively, but the effect was very good.

After a random rush, the Thunder team's offense became faster and faster, leading the Suns to run wildly. The audience really enjoyed it. As a result, the Thunder team played a wave of 4 to 15 in more than 6 minutes.

With 7 minutes and 28 seconds left in the second quarter, head coach Gentry requested a timeout.
Guigui, who was back on the bench, was still unsatisfied at this moment, wiped his sweat, and said loudly:
"It's so enjoyable, I like the pace of the game! Kayce, your catch and shoot percentage is getting higher and higher!"

Li Ze, who was drinking water, almost choked himself when he heard this, and complained helplessly in his heart:
"If you get too many blames, experience is enough. Thanks to the [sticky hands] + [catch and shooter] badge bonus, the shooting rate will not be too low, otherwise I will become a blame man sooner or later."

Coach Brooks was also a little speechless at this time. This game made him feel like he was dreaming of last season. He played really chaotically, but ended up leading by a big score. After the Suns scored a few goals at the basket, The outside line is bang bang.

"Okay guys, let's slow down the offense, Kayce, be patient on the offense, we're leading by double digits, defend well, protect the rebounds, don't give the opponent a chance to counterattack! "

Coach Brooks hurriedly told Li Ze that if he loses the lead in a muddleheaded way, then the first half will be for nothing.

Li Ze immediately nodded to indicate that he understands that as long as he leads by a big score, he is confident that he can perfectly control the rhythm of the game.

chasing points?If it doesn't exist, it really can't open the situation. You can also rely on Durant's explosive power. Scoring has never been a problem.

After returning from the timeout, the two sides returned to the main force. After Nash came on the court, he quickly made a three-pointer to help the Suns narrow the point difference. The Thunder's offense suddenly began to slow down.

Li Ze immediately stood in the left corner after halftime, and at the same time signaled Jeff Green and Ibaka to raise the screen to clear the paint for Durant.

Grant Hill desperately chased and defended. As soon as Durant received the ball, he immediately made a breakthrough. During the march, he dribbled the ball with his right hand behind his back, and his left hand paused slightly. Throw off the defense and go straight to the basket.

Faced with Channing Frye's block, he confronted in the air, pulled the bar lightly, and made a reverse layup to score the ball.

"squeak"

The referee blew the whistle and called Channing Frye for a defensive foul. The goal was valid and an additional penalty was required.

After hearing the whistle, Durant smiled slightly. He is also a star with star whistle treatment. Recently, he averaged 10 free throws per game. Explosive free throws are no joke.

Standing on the free throw line, Durant shook his shoulders and made the free throw steadily.

"The Thunder have slowed down their offensive tempo. They intend to make full use of the personal abilities of Li Ze and Durant. It is really difficult for the Suns to defend against it alone."

When the host Ke Xiaofan saw the Thunder's offense, he became strict and praised Li Ze and Durant.

"The Thunder's style of play is not complicated, but it is simple and effective. The core tactic of positional offense is to allow Li Ze and Durant to catch the ball easily, and the rest depends on the individual performance of the players."

"During the game, we could see a lot of familiar tactics, and even some shadows of the triangle offense. After clearing the paint area, the breakthrough space under the basket also came out. I must praise the Thunder's coaching staff. The tactical design is too good. Bravo."

Ma Jian has been carefully observing the Thunder's offense, and he didn't expect the simple tactics to be so effective, so he couldn't help bragging to the Thunder's coaching staff.

In the rest of the second quarter, the Suns could not close the point difference. As long as a goal was scored, the Thunder would respond immediately. Grant Hill was blown away by Durant, and Stoudemire was not in the mood to spray Trash talk.

69 to 55, the Thunder took a 14-point lead and ended the first half of the game.

During the intermission, in the Thunder locker room, Guigui was still complaining that the game was not enjoyable, and he didn't like the pace of the game in the second half of the second quarter.

"Kayce, we can play more breakthrough shots like before, continue to strengthen the offense, and completely destroy them!"

Falling into a positional offense, Turtle's weakness in controlling the ball difference will be exposed. In the second half of the second quarter, after Durant became the core of the offense, the Thunder rarely played transition offenses and breakthroughs.

"There are still two quarters to go. Don't worry, the Suns will definitely strengthen their outside shots. I bet the opponent's shooting percentage will drop. In the second half, you will have a lot of opportunities to switch offenses."

Li Ze appeased the tortoise who was about to go up, this guy was playing high, and he wanted to rush in with the ball
Coach Brooks also knocked on the tactical board at this time, reminding his players loudly:,

"Kayce is right. In the second half, we must control the long rebounds and not give the opponent a second chance to attack. The attack speed must be fast, and the offensive position must be organized patiently."

"Kevin, he played very well in the first half. Continue to use the screen well, maintain your aggressiveness, increase some impact on the basket appropriately, and don't attack too fast."

"Ibaka, Green, pay attention to Channing Frye's outside shooting, follow up immediately after the pick-and-roll, and don't give him a chance to make a three-pointer. We can properly let the opponent's breakthrough and low-post play."

"Kayce, control our offensive rhythm, this is up to you, I don't want to see the Suns close the gap in the third quarter, hang on guys, there is still half a game, we can go home with a victory It's Christmas!"

"yeah!!"

When it comes to Christmas, everyone immediately cheers up, the chicken blood effect is really good
After the start of the second half, the Suns' starting lineup continued to appear. The Thunder made a simple adjustment, and Ibaka continued to start.

The Thunder team attacked. After the turtle's high pick-and-roll, facing Stoudemire, who had switched defenses in front of him, he held the ball in his left hand, slightly raised his body's center of gravity, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and held the ball in his right hand.Straight line acceleration.

During the march, he suddenly turned around quickly, immediately turned to the basket, and picked the basket with his left hand.

"Bang Shua." He turned around and hit a layup.

After the layup, Guigui lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. Seeing the goal scored, before his teammates came over, he jumped up excitedly, yelled at the audience, and returned to defense. Flapping his biceps.

Perhaps because he opened up the second channel of Ren Tong, Guigui made a sudden outside shot in the third quarter, no matter how he played, even the usually unreliable three-pointer could be easily made, and the basket was as wide as the sea.

Li Ze only came out to catch the ball when Turtle or Durant attacked and killed him. The Thunder basically played every offensive round for 24 seconds.

Even if the Suns made a three-pointer, Li Ze still commanded his teammates to position, opened up the space, and ran tactics.

Coach Gentry found that the point difference showed no signs of narrowing at all, and even the offensive rhythm on the field was completely controlled by the Thunder.

Especially after seeing Li Ze once again swayed away from Jason Richardson's defense with 6 seconds left in the offense, and made a mid-range emergency stop jumper, head coach Gentry cursed in a low voice:
"Shoot! This shit can be shot, is this a rookie player?"

After another 24 seconds, Li Ze retreated with a smile on his face. As long as he is allowed to shoot in his shooting hotspot, with the addition of many silver achievement badges, the shooting percentage will definitely be above 5%.

"I think it's hard for the Suns to get the game back in this game, and the Thunder's offense has become more patient."

"The Suns couldn't defend against the trio's offense at all, and they also started to get impatient on the offensive end. Once the Thunder team is allowed to play transition offense, the fourth quarter will basically become garbage time."

Ma Jian said a fact that made the Suns fans heartbroken.

With more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Li Ze had already clearly felt the impatience of the Suns. The most obvious manifestation was that Stoudemire began to frequently go to the free throw line, and the Suns' share of the ball gradually decreased. up.

When the Thunder team was attacking, Durant first made a gesture to his teammates, and he took the initiative to stand in the right bottom corner. His physical fitness was about to bottom out, and he needed to rest for two or three rounds.

It was still Jeff Green and Ibaka who went up, and the elbow area of ​​​​the free throw line was covered twice in a row.

Stoudemire immediately switched defenses, raised his right hand, and stared closely at Li Ze who was holding the ball.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze was very relaxed. He dribbled the ball twice on the spot, held the ball in his right hand, raised the center of gravity of his body, and dribbled back with cross steps. His left crotch changed direction, and he suddenly accelerated, pretending to break through with his right hand.

Stoudemire immediately took a step back, but as soon as he moved, he found Li Ze dribbling the ball behind his right hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to take a three-pointer.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net, shrimp and pork heart.

"Oh!! Shhh!"

The audience at the US Airways Center Arena first let out an exclamation, and then booed overwhelmingly, because Li Zezheng raised his hands to his ears in a gesture of listening.
"This shaking is so beautiful! Director Ma, many viewers said that Li Ze's dribbling speed has slowed down a lot recently, and he didn't play as well as he did at the start of the game. What do you think about this?"

The host Ke Xiaofan saw that the game was going to take a while, so he hurriedly chatted about other topics.

"If you look closely at Li Ze's dribbling, he didn't slow down at all at the moment of starting and dribbling and changing direction, even faster."

"Now he has made better use of his wingspan, increased his dribbling range, coupled with the threat of shooting from the outside, combined with speed and slowness, and played smarter. So far, the effect is indeed very good!"

Ma Jian has been paying attention to the changes in Li Ze's style of play, so playing it is effortless.

In fact, the change in Li Ze's style of play is mainly because the bonus effect of the upgraded [Good Dribble] badge is too practical.

Fast and vigorous dribbling changes without affecting the control of the ball at all, coupled with the [Ball Control Master] badge bonus, let Li Ze rely more on rhythm and physical breakthroughs, reducing some emergency stops and starts .

To put it simply, Li Ze's extraordinary rhythm is more and more like the future Doncic. Maybe in the future he will really become a player template for the little fat man.

In the next few minutes, Li Ze played three consecutive screen cross-cut tactics, shooting, breakthrough, and assists, all of which were scored. The angry head coach Gentry called a timeout again.

Ibaka, a rookie, has received Li Ze's flying cakes in a row in this game. At this time, he has already scored a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds. During the timeout, he sat on the bench and kept giggling.

The water dispenser players of the Thunder team all showed envious eyes. Everyone wants to eat cakes easily.
Li Ze is also happy to see such a situation happen, and he can get excellent data by following him, which can greatly improve his right to speak in the locker room, and he can think complacently while replenishing water;
"Xiao Du, the locker room is mine! What are you fighting with me for? The position of boss will be mine sooner or later!"

next game.The Thunder played more and more smoothly, and Ibaka was like a chicken blood. The defensive end exerted all its strength and continued to expand its defense area.

After the Suns hit the iron in three consecutive offensive rounds, the point difference was widened to 20 points.

The fourth quarter almost turned into garbage time. After playing for more than 3 minutes, head coach Gentry also replaced his main lineup, so there is no need to consume more energy.

After all, Nash and Grant Hill are both very old, and the regular season must be properly rotated and rested to reduce some playing time.

At the end of the final game time, 120 to 105, the Thunder easily defeated the Phoenix Suns in the away game, consolidating their No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

Perhaps because of the loss at home, the Suns players simply bumped their fists after the game, and immediately walked back to the player tunnel. Li Ze felt a little regretful, because he failed to reap his superficial brothers in the last two games.

Li Ze returned to the Thunder's locker room with the game ball. Seeing that Ibaka was still sitting on the sidelines, he greeted his teammates to come over, and then threw the game ball to Ibaka, laughing. said:

"15 points, 15 rebounds, big double-double, first double-double in your NBA career, Serge, take this game ball, it's a memorable moment, we all know you Work hard for it!"

"I know it's very difficult for post players to hit a triple-double, but I believe you can get a triple-double in the future. Come on, Bro, your career will definitely achieve amazing achievements."

Ibaka took the ball in a daze, feeling extremely moved in his heart, this is his boss!
"I don't know what, thank you Kayce, thank you all, me."

Before Ibaka finished speaking, Guigui, who was still in a state of excitement, picked up the ice bucket beside him and shouted:
"Needless to say, man, enjoy this moment!"

"Ah! Yeah!"

The moment of warmth suddenly turned into a battle of ice and water. Sometimes the happiness between men is so simple and rude.

Li Ze also joined in screaming, and while attacking Ibaka and Durant with ice water, he smiled in his heart:
"The boss of the team must establish a good locker room culture!"
