Chapter 130 Arenas' Strange Behavior

Chapter 130 Arenas' Strange Behavior (6000-word chapter)
The Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean have already deeply realized how big the gap is between the bottom one in the Eastern Conference and the top one in the Western Conference.

After more than three minutes in the opening game, the Nets' defense broke in one bucket. The Thunder can easily get shooting opportunities by running without the ball and a simple screen. Except for the turtle's three-pointer, the others All scored. ,

Jeff Green even felt the intensity of this game. It seems that the confrontation in the team training game has not been as intense.

After all, the team training match is Li Ze and Gui Gui against Durant and Jeff Green, especially Li Ze and Durant. As long as these two people are facing each other, they are really merciless and absolutely go all out. Many times The coaching staff had to remind the two to reduce some physical confrontation.

In the Nets' attack this time, after receiving the ball in the low post, Lopez faced Kostic's defense and hit him twice, but he didn't move.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

After receiving the rebound, Krstic made a pass to find Durant. After receiving the ball, the latter dribbled the ball behind his back, swaying the Arab in front of him, and then passed the ball to Li Ze, who had already rushed up.

Courtney Lee, who returned to defense, wanted to step forward to steal the ball immediately, but Li Ze swayed past him with a somewhat fancy turn, and went straight to the basket. During the march, he noticed that the turtle behind him had already accelerated with all his strength.

Ignoring Trenton Hassel's defense in front of him, he threw the ball on the board casually, and the turtle flew into the sky, dunking with both hands!

"Kang" converted and dunked successfully.

"what!!"

There was a lot of cheers erupting from the Barclays Center arena. This place is about to become the Thunder's home stadium.

Seeing his idol Taylor applauding on the sidelines, Guigui, who succeeded in dunking, jumped up and down happily and let out a strange cry.

"Haha!"

Li Ze was speechless watching from the sidelines. After taking Guigui and Taylor to have dinner together at noon, this guy was in a state of excitement, especially after knowing that Taylor was helping him canvassing votes. The touched Guigui decided to go home and mobilize everyone around him. , bought Taylor's album
In the words of manager Chapman, a fan like Guigui is like a thick leek, which can't be cut off no matter how hard it is.

With 1 minutes and 6 seconds left in the first quarter, coach Vandeweghe requested a timeout, 26 to 16, the Nets' defense was really stretched, and he had to adjust the lineup.

"The strength gap between the two teams is indeed very large. The Thunder team has barely exerted its strength and has easily led by 7 points. Director Zhang, what do you think are the current shortcomings of the Thunder team's lineup?"

The host, Yu Jia, was a little bored after seeing the game, so he took advantage of the break during the festival to chat about topics other than the game.

"In fact, the Thunder's lineup has obvious flaws. I won't talk about the inside line. Let's just look at the outside line. Westbrook's three-point shooting rate is not high. Jeff Green usually played efficiently in the first half, but in the second half The hit rate will fluctuate.”

"Sefoloza also has this problem on the bench. Only Li Ze and Durant have stable outside shots. Therefore, the Thunder's offense is not as efficient as everyone imagined."

In fact, Director Zhang also agrees with Barkley's point of view. It is difficult to win the championship with jump shots, because in the Western Conference playoffs, after the defensive intensity increases, the inside star players will score more stably.

"Indeed, as Director Zhang said, in the last game against the Bobcats, the Thunder played very hard. Well, the Nets made a matchup substitution. This year's rookie Terrence Williams S replaced Trenton Hassel."

"Come back from a timeout, I hope the Nets' offense will improve!"

Although the Nets will definitely not be able to beat the Thunder, the host Yu Jia does not want the game to take too early.

In the rest of the first quarter, everyone on the Nets team was the main attacker. After a few simple passes, they immediately began to fight alone, throwing the ball as soon as they took it, but unfortunately, such invalid singles, the shooting rate was very low, which made The Thunder got a few more transition opportunities.

Devin Harris missed a breakthrough layup, and the backcourt rebound was protected by Jeff Green. He immediately made a pass to find Turtle, who accelerated crazily after receiving the ball.

Terrence Williams wanted to use a foul to disrupt the Thunder's transition offense, but the turtle was too fast and only pulled the jersey. The latter was not affected at all. Li Ze, who was running ahead, pointed to the basket with his finger .

Guigui understood, and immediately sent a long pass. Although the pass was a bit high, Li Ze made a leap, caught the ball in the air and made a circle, and a one-armed windmill dunked!
"Kang" made an alley-oop dunk.

"Beautiful dunk! Westbrook's pass was a bit high, but Li Ze jumped higher, and the dunk in the air was completely stretched."

"This dunk is really amazing! The flat-frame dunk completely shows Li Ze's physical talent!"

The hosts Yu Jia and Director Zhang immediately turned on the Li Zechui mode again.

In the second half of the quarter, the Thunder almost completely defeated the Nets by relying on continuous transition attacks. Lopez, who was inside, was so frustrated that he no longer reached out, and the game was spent in one quarter.

36 to 22, the Thunder team in the away game took a 14-point lead in the first quarter. During the break, Coach Brooks no longer arranged tactics. In such a game, the players can play by themselves.

On the Tiger Attack forum of Tianchao, there was also an explosion at this time. I had been looking forward to the game for several days, and this was the result?

"The Nets are terrible. I thought they could last half of the court, but the first quarter was spent, and the few players on the court were all playing viciously. Ah Lian feels so good. A few more passes can be good. Die!"

"Li Ze is too handsome to play. Although he is not as explosive as he was at the beginning of the season, but now this combination of fast and slow shaking makes it more difficult to guard against. Courtney-Lee was directly blown away!"

"It's really impossible to defend. The striker who came off the bench was blown away by Li Ze in the NCAA. The Nets only had Harris to make two gestures. Lopez, a big fool, knows how to fight hard at the basket." hate."

"I think domestic players can also learn Li Ze's style of play. Changing directions in front of the body and changing directions while dribbling under the crotch are very practical. You can also practice more at ordinary times."

"I laughed so hard, upstairs you don't think about Li Ze's starting speed, and one more thing, how accurate Li Ze is on the outside line, you are a bit slow watching it on TV, our domestic players meet Li Ze, it is estimated that one step was passed."

"UA is in good shape, try to get more points, and don't get injured again. I hope UA can achieve a double-double of 15+10 this season."

"Hehe, the glass man should hurry back to China, 2 points and 1 plate is too easy, don't be ashamed outside."

"My compatriots are also black? Don't those upstairs have any brains? I have reported it, thank you!"

The heat of this game is very high in Tianchao. After only one quarter, many fans have already started discussing the performance of Ah Lian and Li Ze on the Internet. As for the win or loss of the game, everyone actually doesn’t care. They can get a good-looking statistic That's fine.

During the intermission, both Durant and Li Ze felt a little bored. This game was really not as intense as the team's training. For them, the Nets' defense was just paper, not to mention that the opponent did not fully defend. Most of the time it's just for show.

"Shet! I kind of understand how other teams played us last year. We were no different from the Nets in the first two seasons. I swear, I don't want to play that kind of game again!"

Durant said with some emotion that in the first two seasons, he actually felt good about himself. Looking back now, he suddenly felt that he was a fool.

"Today I must have a good time. Every time we score, the audience will cheer, as if we are back at home. I like this feeling!"

As long as they can play a transition attack, the tortoise will play more and more happily. In the first quarter, the Nets' continuous strikes have completely activated the tortoise.

"We can play better, guys!"

Li Ze made a suggestion by the way, and at the same time gave everyone a look that you understand, signaling that everyone should let go of this defense and get all the data first.

"That's a great idea! I support Kayce's proposal."

Jeff Green is eager to try, and it is a rare opportunity to easily score points. This game is simply a welfare bureau!
"no problem!"

"After brushing the data, rest early."

When the second quarter started, the Nets found that the Thunder's defensive strength had declined. Everyone immediately understood that this was about to start.

The Nets attacked, and Devin Harris used Yi Jianlian's high pick-and-roll to kill the inside line, dodge in the air, and pick the basket with his right hand to advance the ball.

The Thunder quickly sent the ball to the bottom line. After the turtle dribbled through half court, they used Kostic's high pick-and-roll to break through from the left side. During the march, the left hand suddenly used Sam Gold, shaking off Lopez's defense, and made a low-handed layup. The ball is scored.

Lopez made a pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, received a pass from Devin Harris, jumped directly into the penalty area with a big leap, feinted twice, and put the ball into the basket.

The Thunder attacked, and Durant came out of the cover to make a quick breakthrough. Facing the defense of Trenton Hassell, he dribbled the ball back with a cross step with his right hand, paused slightly with his left hand, and quickly changed direction in front of him. Rushing into the inside line, a one-armed dunk succeeded!
After receiving the ball from the elbow area of ​​the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian made realistic shooting fakes, swayed Jeff Green's defensive center of gravity, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. He was not afraid of Kostic who came over to defend, and sent the ball into the basket after an aerial confrontation.

The Thunder's simple cross-cut tactics, after two screens, Li Ze received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the three-point line, facing Courtney Lee's defense, after two dribbles under the crotch on the spot, he held the ball in his right hand Pretend to break through.

Use your feet, adjust your pace, take a small step back, quickly join the ball with your right hand, and step back from outside the three-point line to shoot a jumper.

After "swish" double-sided steps, the three-pointer was hit steadily.

Maybe it was allowed by the rules, or it could be that Li Ze moved too fast, the referee couldn't see whether it was a violation, the whistle didn't sound, and the goal was valid.

After making a three-pointer, Li Ze smiled and waved to Durant, signaling that he should not forget the $500 bet after the game.

"Shet! I really feel that the ball is walking, and the referee didn't whistle for a walking violation!"

Durant scolded with a smile, the new rules of the league really made him a little confused.

The audience at the Barclays Center Arena were hooked, the game was fast-paced, and the two sides staged an offensive battle, especially on the Thunder side, with fancy attacks emerging one after another.
By the end of the halftime game, 68 to 54, the point difference was still not narrowed, and the Thunder easily controlled the rhythm of the game.

In the CCTV studio, the hosts Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping also briefly summarized the performance of the two sides in the first half.

"Aside from winning or losing, the game was really good. There were three-pointers, breakthroughs, and dunks. I believe most fans will like this game rhythm."

The host Yu Jia simply praised the offensive performances of both sides.

"The ball was really good to play, and Ah Lian's touch is also very good. He made 8 of 6 shots and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 19 points and 6 rebounds in the halftime. This game is expected to get a double-double."

Director Zhang was in a good mood watching it. It is rare for the UAE to have such a good competitive state. This is a sign of recovery again. It is definitely a good thing!

"Li Ze also scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in the halftime. It can be seen that he has not used his full strength in this game, and he did not defend with all his strength in the second quarter, but he has always controlled the rhythm of the court, and his ability is indeed too strong. gone."

When the host Yu Jia saw Li Ze's data, he once again praised Li Ze loudly.

"Actually, this is pretty good. The fans will love to watch the game continue like this in the second half of the game! I hope the two of them will maintain a good touch and get more points in the second half!"

After the start of the third quarter, the main lineups of the two sides were only on the field for more than 3 minutes, and they were gradually replaced.

After Li Ze got 20+10, he started to smoke in the bottom corner. There was no need to score too many points. He gave all the opportunities to Jeff Green and Kostic, and the welfare bureau scored together.

For the rest of the time, all the substitute players of the two teams came on the field, neither side defended, and the offense came and went. Finally, the game time was over, 105 to 90, and the Thunder easily defeated the Nets in the away game.

After the game, Li Ze found Ah Lian again and whispered:

"Don't worry about brushing up the data, adjust your physical condition, Brother Lian, and shoot less long two-pointers in the future. My trainer Tony will come to New York recently. Just contact him when the time comes, and he will help you formulate a detailed plan. training plan."

"Don't worry, you will lose anyway, and I'm used to it. Your body is the most important thing. Come on, you should also pay attention to your body. Don't dunk. If you get injured, it won't be worth it."

Ah Lian received an alley-oop dunk last season, but his finger was broken and he was injured for a long time, so he already has some psychological shadows about the dunk.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

The two exchanged a lot of whispers before finally embracing and leaving the scene.

After the game, everyone in the Thunder’s locker room was chatting relaxedly. The statistics of this game are very good. Durant scored another 30+, and Turtle also got 20+5+5. Back-to-back can be so easy Everyone is very satisfied with the game.

"It's time to keep the promise, haha, Kevin, don't forget your $500!"

Li Ze returned to the locker room with a strange laugh, and immediately began to ask for the bill.

"Shet! I want to complain, the referee is blind! The rules of shit, it's all James' fault!"

……

This back-to-back game has no pressure on the Thunder. Needless to say, the Nets, the Wizards are slowly stretching their hips in the new season.

The current record is 10 wins and 19 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference. Arenas has lived up to his courage in the past and has been scoring points inefficiently. Recently, he has lost four games in a row. Wizards fans are completely disappointed. Go on, the playoffs are hopeless.

After the Thunder team arrived in Washington in the morning, they had a simple lunch and only had some restorative training in the afternoon. Coach Brooks believed that the pressure of the game was not high.

"Hey Bro, I've heard a big secret, God, make sure you don't let it out."

During the break, Jeff Green whispered mysteriously.

"What could be the matter? Did Arenas apply for a trade? Or is there another infighting in the Wizards locker room?"

Durant added water and asked casually.

"This is definitely breaking news. My friend told me that Arenas slept with Nick Young's girlfriend!"

Jeff Green said with a gossip.

"What?? Sleeping with a teammate's woman? Impossible, this is too tasteless."

When Guigui heard the news, she was stunned. Isn't it embarrassing for this kind of thing to happen to teammates?
"The most interesting thing is that after Arenas finished sleeping, he told Nick Young. To be honest, I was a little confused when I heard the news."

Jeff Green looked strange at this time, he was very sure of this.

"Ahem. What kind of weird behavior is this!"

Li Ze almost choked on the gossip news, and immediately complained, Arenas is holding a cuckold and dunking on Nick Yang's head with one arm, he is crazy.
"Maybe we will win this game easily, the Wizards locker room really opened my eyes!"

Durant also said something with a strange expression.

The attendance rate of the MCI Center arena is not high tonight. The recent losing streak of the Wizards is too bad for morale. Coupled with Arenas' poor state, many games are inefficient. Many fans did not choose to come Come and support the team.

On the contrary, many Chinese fans came, all wearing the Thunder's No. 10 jersey, cheering for Li Ze.

On the other side of the ocean, Sina Sports also broadcast the game of the Thunder. The host of this game was still Ke Xiaofan, but the guest was replaced by Yang Yi.

Before the game, the two first introduced the current situation of the two teams, and then began to chat about Li Ze.

"Mr. Yang, you went to Oklahoma City to watch the game. How did you feel? Let the netizens briefly tell you how it feels to watch Li Ze play at close range."

Ke Xiaofan asked a question arranged by the director.

"Watching the game live, the most direct feeling is strength. Li Ze's body is too strong. We may not be able to see it in the broadcast, but I was particularly shocked after watching the game live."

"I remember that many netizens also said that they wanted to imitate Li Ze's playing. Haha, this is really impossible to imitate. Li Ze's starting step was too fast. When he accelerated in disguise, as long as he was stuck half of his body, the average small guard would basically There is no move."

"The other thing that impresses me the most is that he has a wide field of vision and excellent ball-handling skills. With a height of just over two meters and this ability to control the ball, most opposing players can't limit Li Ze. It's really amazing!"

The host, Ke Xiaofan, was a little speechless when he heard Yang Yi whistling. He blew too hard, and it was easy to attract black people, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Listening to Teacher Yang's words, I really want to go to watch Li Ze play. Just in time, the starting lineup ahead of us has come out, and the Wizards are still the starters today."

"Randy Foye and Gilbert Arenas at guard, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison up front and Brandon Haywood at center."

"The Thunder still have Russell Westbrook and Li Ze in the backcourt, Kevin Durant and Jeff Green on the front line, and Nenad Kostic at center."

"The game is about to start, we cut the screen back to the game scene ahead."

During the warm-up before the game, Li Ze noticed that the Wizards team was still in harmony. The two rookies, Nick Young and McGee, were still standing like minions, silently handing water to the bosses.

"Maybe the news you heard was all false. The boss of the team slept with his younger brother's girlfriend. This is outrageous!"

Li Ze complained in a low voice to Jeff Green beside him.

"You don't understand, Kayce, if Nick Young really doesn't care too much, it's no big deal, after all, there are chicks all over the place, give some to Arenas, kiss the boss' ass, maybe you can get more chances to play. "

"..."

The referee signaled for players from both sides to come to the center of the court, and Krstic and Heywood stood in the center circle ready to jump the ball.

"At the start of the game, Haywood jumped to the possession for the Wizards. Randy Foye made a quick pass. After receiving the ball, Jamison pushed Jeff Green and made a layup!"

The host Ke Xiaofan immediately threw himself into the commentary of the game.

Head coach Philip Saunders is very well prepared for this game. One big, four small, and four outsiders can hold the ball. He decided to play against the Thunder in this game. Jamison has been in good form recently. He wants to end the team's 4-game losing streak.

Jeff Green immediately raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his problem. He didn't expect the Wizards' offense to launch so quickly.

The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball. After the turtle dribbled through the half court, they first handed over to Durant. They felt that Caron Butler's defense was very tight, and Durant did not force his attack. Pass the ball again to Li Ze who came out of the screen.

Arenas was very active in chasing and defending this time. After seeing Li Ze catch the ball, he immediately lowered his body center of gravity and fixed his eyes on Li Ze.

Seeing Arenas' ferocious gaze, Li Ze was speechless. His eyes were useless for defense. After three threats, he put the ball with his left hand, combining speed and slowness. He dribbled the ball twice in a row and changed direction in front of his body. Arenas was shaken. Involuntarily took a step back.

Seeing the opponent's body move, Li Ze accelerated directly with the ball in his right hand, easily caught half of his body, suddenly turned around and joined the ball while moving, and made a layup with his left hand in the penalty area.

"Beautiful goal! This is what I said before the game. Li Ze is very good at using his body now. When he started it, he passed Arenas halfway, and then turned around for a layup. It was very easy, really amazing! "

Yang Yi also stopped following the procedure, and immediately transformed into Li Zechui.

After scoring, Li Ze smiled at Arenas, then immediately returned to defense, and at the same time secretly complained:
"Has Fisher's eye-defense stunt been spread? It's a pity that Arenas didn't learn the essence. He should add an action of rolling up his shorts."
