The best teammates in the NBA
Chapter 147 Record Crusher
Chapter 147 Record Crusher ([-]D Chapter)
As an out-and-out business league, the NBA is most worried about the All-Star Weekend when star players are injured and unable to participate in the game.
In recent years, fans have been criticizing that the All-Star Weekend has become more and more boring. The slam dunk contest is always the same poses over and over again, and there is nothing new at all.
So when the Lakers informed the league that Kobe Bryant decided to withdraw from the All-Star Game because of his ankle injury, coupled with finger and wrist injuries, the league operations staff went numb.
More than half of the tickets have been sold out. Many fans came to watch the game just because of Kobe. As a result, the biggest star in the All-Star Game withdrew due to injury. The ratings may have plummeted by a few percentage points!
The originally set script was LeBron James in the East against Kobe Bryant in the West, but now there is one less protagonist, and this scene cannot be performed.
To make matters worse, on February 2th, the Bulls also informed the league that the team's head star Derrick Rose had a layup and collided with Dwight Howard in a game against the Orlando Magic. Broke my hip.
The Bulls said that Derrick Rose will continue to participate in the All-Star Game despite the injury, but the Rookie Challenge and Skills Challenge will be powerless
On the morning of the 11th, NBA Commissioner David Stern was sitting in his office, seeing the injury news sent to him by the staff, he couldn't help rubbing his brows wearily.
This All-Star Weekend, in addition to the league's efforts to run the event well, David Stern will also negotiate with the players' union. The two parties still have not reached a consensus on the issue of the labor agreement.
Derek Fisher, as the chairman of the players union, has a very tough attitude. Players need more protection, and the attitude of the owners of each team is also very obvious. Now that the general environment is in a downturn, the wages of the players are too high.
In 2011, the collective bargaining agreement was about to expire, and David Stern was already in a state of distress. If an agreement could not be reached for a long time, the NBA would face a lockout again. This is not the situation the NBA wants to see.
"Has it been confirmed that Kobe will not play in this All-Star Game? And what about Derrick Rose's specific injury?"
David Stern sorted out his thoughts, and then asked the staff about the specific situation.
"Kobe Bryant should have been injured in early February. In recent games, the Lakers have put Kobe on the injured list."
"Ross was injured in the collision of the game last night, but he insisted on finishing the game. The Bulls probably don't want Rose to consume too much during the All-Star Weekend."
The staff briefly recounted the injuries of the two to David Stern.
"Does Coach George Karl have any requirements for replacement personnel? What suggestions do the coaches of each team have for this replacement personnel?"
David Stern asked another key question. After Brandon Roy was injured, George Karl, the head coach of the Western All-Stars, strongly recommended Chauncey Billup, the core guard of his team. s.
The face of the old coach must be given, and Chauncey Billups is also a champion guard. For such a veteran, other coaches have no objections, and David Stern nodded in agreement.
"At 9 o'clock in the morning, the team's operations staff had already contacted the coaches of each team. Everyone thought that this time you could make your own decision, and no one would have any opinions."
Hearing the staff's answer, David Stern showed a knowing expression. Respect is mutual. Last time he did not refute and replace Chauncey Billups, this time the coaches also reciprocated.
"Very good, I took a look at the suggestions of the operations staff, and I completely agree, notify Russell Westbrook and Anthony Morrow early, let them prepare, as for the replacement of the All-Stars."
"Just let Kayce-LI enter the All-Star bench, I remember this guy is very popular, and by the way, let Dirk Nowitzki return to the starting position, we also need to respect the star player of the host team. "
"By the way, I would like to inform everyone that this All-Star Weekend, we will strive to reach a consensus between the two parties and complete the next stage of the labor agreement. I don't want to wait any longer. In the afternoon, we will continue to meet to discuss related matters."
David Stern thought that Kobe would not be able to play, so he added a popular player to attract the audience. The problem of personnel is easy to solve, but the labor agreement is a big problem. Thinking of having to suffer anger on the weekend, Stern felt helpless sighed deeply:
"If there is a suspension, it will not only be the NBA that will suffer losses"
On the afternoon of the 11th, Li Ze was doing flexibility training with his trainer Meg at home when he suddenly received a call from Coach Brooks.
"Kayce, congratulations, you have been selected as an All-Star. You definitely deserve it. All of us are proud of you!"
"Uh, thanks, coach, did the league really give me a chance as a first-year rookie? That's so cool!"
Although Li Ze was prepared in his heart, he still felt a huge surprise in his heart after hearing the exact news.
"Yes, this is Mr. President's decision. I am personally very satisfied. This is also a respect for the Thunder. We are the No. [-] team in the Western Conference and have two All-Star players. This is a well-deserved honor."
"Enjoy this All-Star Weekend. I have to inform Russell that he has to prepare for the Skills Challenge. I hope he won't lose too badly."
Coach Brooks is in a happy mood. Although he will definitely not be able to take the position of All-Star coach, but he can bring out two All-Star players, which is also the affirmation of the league for him.
"Thank you for your notice, I will do well!"
The trainer Meg saw the happy expression on Li Ze's face, and immediately knew that her big employer was selected as an All-Star, so she immediately sent a fart:
"The NBA finally knows who is the best player. Congratulations, Kayce. You are busy this All-Star Weekend, but I believe you will enjoy this process very much."
"Are you sure you don't need to temporarily add some skills challenge training? We can simply buy some equipment."
"No need at all. You know my basic skills. The rounds and passes are not difficult for me. We can continue with the previous training."
"The compression suit you prepared for me is good, maybe I can wear them in the next game."
The black compression suit on Li Ze's body was extremely close-fitting and breathable. As a player who doesn't wear all kinds of fancy equipment, Li Ze was really moved this time.
"This is a special style that we have improved according to your body shape. I will say hello to the equipment manager of the Thunder team. If you like it, we will also prepare some other equipment for you."
The trainer Meg started selling her equipment in a timely manner.
"No problem, but I always feel that wearing too much equipment is actually useless and will limit flexibility. That guy Russell wears armguards more for X, and we all know this in the team."
"..."
On February 2th, Li Ze had to fly to Dallas. During the day, he had to cooperate with the league to complete makeup photos, fan carnivals, and caring actions. In the evening, he had to watch the All-Star wheelchair basketball game with the team.
After this day's activities, Li Ze was also a little dazed. He ran around in circles at various venues, his hand was weak when signing autographs, and taking pictures continuously made his cheeks sore, and he laughed too much.
While watching the game at night, Li Ze was finally able to sit down and rest, looking at Durant beside him, wearing red slacks, a black suit with a gray shirt inside, and a pair of full-frame black glasses on the bridge of his nose , suddenly a little speechless.
"Kevin, we are the same stylist, why is your color scheme so good?"
"Have you finally found out, Kayce, the color matching is all carefully selected by myself. Look at this pair of glasses, I think it completely enhances my temperament!"
Durant had a smug expression on the surface, but he was crazy about lemons in his heart. Ever since he knew that Li Ze was selected as an All-Star, the sourness in his heart could not go away.
This is an achievement that he failed to achieve in his rookie season. Thinking that when the media and football critics talk about the All-Stars in the future, they will put Li Ze and those historical superstars together, Durant can't help but feel sour.
Hearing Durant's boast, the corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched slightly. Even the stylist can't change this damned temperament. Today he still wears high-top sneakers with dark blue jeans, and his upper body is a simple white T-shirt. A black casual suit.
Li Ze's attire stands out from the rest of the players. It is simple and casual, but the big gold chain is a bit thick, but it is a gift from Jeff Green, and he is usually used to it.
"It's really good. It fits your temperament very well. I haven't seen Russell today. Where has this guy gone?"
Guigui and Nina set off on the 11th, but after arriving in Dallas, Li Ze did not find each other's figure, and Jeff Green disappeared.
"Russell dragged Green to practice the Skills Challenge. Maybe because he didn't want to be at the bottom, Green practiced with him for a day."
Durant said with a smirk, when everyone heard that Guigui was taking part in the Skills Challenge, the unanimous reaction was that this guy must be the bottom one.
Don't fight for steamed buns, Guigui is also cramming for the time being, and after coming to Dallas, he doesn't care about being with his girlfriend anymore.
"Nina must be angry, you know the Rookie Challenge tomorrow, it's up to you, Bro!"
Li Ze gave Durant a look, indicating that the plan will proceed. The first-year rookie team will be coached by Nuggets assistant coach Dantley, and the second-year team will be led by Magic assistant coach Ewing. At the same time, Durant and Bosh will also guest coaching staff.
According to the agreed plan, Li Ze will try his best to appear on the stage with Harden and Curry, so that he can avoid Evans and Jennings who are making troubles. The more shots are made, the data will naturally be indispensable. MVP is not It's at your fingertips!
"Don't worry, with a simple staffing arrangement, the assistant coach still has some rights. As for whether he can win or not, that's up to you. If Russell loses two consecutive Rookie Challenges, he will definitely be depressed to death."
Thinking that Guigui might be counter-killed by the first-year team, Durant began to gloat.
"It's not so easy for him to admit defeat. Love told me that Russell promised that if he was allowed to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, he would take him to Spain during the offseason with full board and lodging. I really can't bear to see my brother Expenses, naturally save money for him!"
Li Ze said this with confidence, and after he finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
"Haha, I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's game!"
……
The Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean is in the midst of the Spring Festival. Although the news is a day late, after the fans learned that Li Ze entered the All-Stars as a substitute, most fans would shout: Li Ze Niu X!
In addition, the 13th was New Year's Eve, and many fans were bored at home. After seeing such news, they immediately started surfing the Internet, and the traffic on Hupu Forum and other sports websites suddenly increased.
"The NBA is still very interested in the Chinese market, and Li Ze was selected as an All-Star in the end."
"Does Li Ze need to rely on the Chinese market? As far as the regular season performance in the first half of the season is concerned, which guard in the West will be better than Li Ze?"
"We really need to pay attention to our market, and don't leave us out when voting! Normal voting, Li Ze is the stable vote king, and it doesn't matter who comes."
"It's hard to say, maybe there are some second devils who specifically blackmail us. Let's see how Ah Lian was hacked before."
"What you said upstairs is too true. Some Kemi just don't like Li Ze, blocking the way of their idols."
"It's a good thing that Kobe doesn't participate in the All-Star Game. Let's take care of his injuries and wait for me to win the All-Star MVP this year."
"What does this post have to do with James? Disappear from this post immediately."
"This time, the All-Star time just coincides with the Spring Festival holiday. It's so comfortable. It would be great if Li Ze could participate in a few more events. I think the slam dunk contest is very good. Li Ze's actual dunk is so cool!"
"The most boring thing is the slam dunk contest. In fact, I hope Li Ze can participate in the three-point shooting contest. In the competition, Li Ze's outside shots are very accurate, but he always shoots some buzzer shots, and his shooting percentage is lowered."
"Skills Challenge is fine too. First win a championship this year, and then change to another event next year. Try to win all the awards and have an All-Star Grand Slam."
"I watched the Rookie Challenge in my first year, and I watched the All-Star Game in my second year. I had a great time this Spring Festival. Did Li Ze travel to China during the offseason? I want to watch Li Ze play live."
"If you have a chance to go to America to watch a Thunder game directly, the tickets are really cheap, and you can go to New York, and then you can see Ah Lian and Li Ze play at the same time."
"Indeed, the tickets for the Big Boobs team are not that expensive, they can't compare with Crouching Tiger!"
"Komei, get out of here, you're everywhere, Lakers tickets are expensive, why are you so proud, don't come out disgusting when it's Chinese New Year's Eve, I've reported it, no thanks!"
When CCTV Sports began broadcasting the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge the next day, the director burst into laughter seeing the rising ratings in the background, and there is no need to worry about the statistics at the end of next year.
The commentators for this All-Star Weekend are Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping. If it wasn’t for the Spring Festival, Zhang Weiping would have flown directly to America to do live commentary.
Before the game, the two of them didn't need to talk about the visiting team or the home team. They went straight to the point, which was to talk about Li Ze, and ignored other topics.
CCTV Sports also cut a personal short video of Li Ze, which included all kinds of gaudy feats and crazy dunks, which surprised many viewers who watched Li Ze play for the first time in front of the TV.
Many people don’t actually watch the NBA. After watching this short film, most people’s first feeling is: “Can yellow people be so fierce? Are these really our compatriots?”
After watching this short film, Yang Yi was also a little emotional, unbelievable, so many wonderful scenes were cut out in half a season, it is really amazing, seeing the gesture made by the director, restrained his emotions, and then said:
"Welcome to the Rookie Challenge of the 09-10 NBA All-Star Weekend. The commentator we invited today is Zhang Weiping, directed by Zhang."
"Director Zhang, after watching this short video, what do you think? The regular season is halfway through. How do you evaluate Li Ze's current performance?"
Yang Yi immediately asked the topic prepared before the game.
"In fact, there are still many wonderful shots that have not been included. If you have watched Li Ze play live, I believe most fans will be shocked. His strong body, excellent coordination, and excellent explosive power are really geniuses among geniuses. "
"The current record of the Thunder is 41 wins and 10 losses, which has completely surpassed the results of last season. Li Ze's joining has played a decisive factor. I personally think that Li Ze's performance is impeccable, and he is also a well-deserved All-Star."
Director Zhang especially appreciates talented players like Li Ze. Before the All-Star Game, he received a text message from Li Ze. The other party even prepared a lot of tickets for him in the front row. For such a player, it must be blown away Special blow!
"The Thunder is number one in the Western Conference. If the second half of the schedule can maintain this level of performance, Director Zhang, do you think the Thunder can reach the Western Conference Finals this season? Let's exaggerate a bit more, can they directly enter the Finals?"
This topic has been discussed very frequently in major forums recently. Many Thunder fans have shouted out: Thunder team championship slogan. Yang Yi also deliberately picked this topic before the game, following the trend to gain popularity.
"The regular season is different from the playoffs. The most obvious thing is that the confrontation will increase, and the referees will relax some standards. The Thunder may reach the Western Conference Finals, but if the opponent in the finals is the Lakers, it will be difficult to break through this barrier. "
"The Lakers have twin towers on the inside, and Kobe and Artest on the outside. Except for the weaker bench lineup, the Lakers have an overall dominant lineup, because after the confrontation, hitting the ball inside is the most stable way to score. There's no comparison to the Thunder."
"Then there is the problem of experience. The Lakers won the championship last year, and Kobe even won three consecutive championships. With such championship experience, the young Thunder team is really far behind, so the fans don't need to worry about it." Expectations are too high, just passing the first round is already a success."
As a Zen master and Comet, once the Lakers are mentioned, Director Zhang will immediately become Weiping Bryant. His stand is absolutely firm. He is the Lakers.
Yang Yi was a little helpless when he heard this. How should he answer this? Anyway, he praised the Thunder team. In desperation, he had no choice but to smooth things over:
"I also agree with some of Director Zhang's points of view, but I always think that the Thunder's three-man team, the Lakers must not be able to restrain it. If it is really going to the Western Conference Finals, then it depends on the performance on the spot, and it depends on the two teams. What is the quality of the star of the game?"
"The director team reminded us that the game is about to start, let's switch the screen to the front first, and we can chat while watching."
The All-Star weekend event is jointly hosted by the Dallas Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas. The Cowboys Stadium, which costs 11 billion, can accommodate 10 spectators.
However, the Rookie Challenge is still held at the home of the Dallas Mavericks, the American Airlines Arena. Tomorrow's All-Star Game will be moved to the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
The attendance rate tonight is very good, and there are many Chinese fans. Although it is the rookie challenge, as long as they can see Li Ze playing, everyone will buy tickets to support.
In the locker room of the first-year team, Li Zezheng assumed the attitude of a big brother, accepting the blessings of many superficial brothers.
"Congratulations, Li, you were selected as an All-Star in your rookie season, which is so enviable!"
Taj Gibson of the Bulls spoke from his heart. He was already envious. Everyone was still a rookie, but in the end you became a star player. The gap is too big.
"Li's selection is definitely well deserved. The Thunder's record and Li's personal data are all impeccable. Congratulations!"
Tyreke Evans had a sincere expression on the surface, but he was shouting crazily in his heart: The NBA is absolutely blind, I will never pass the ball to him in this game!
"I'm so happy for you Bro, the old guys in the league should make way for us! You definitely deserve an All-Star spot!"
Jennings recognized Li Ze's ability very much, but at this moment he only had one thought in his mind: to win the Rookie Challenge MVP, surpass Li Ze, and pass the ball?That also doesn't exist at all.
"Congratulations, Kayce, the first All-Star in the 09 class!"
Although Stephen Curry is also a little envious, he knows that Li Ze's strength is indeed worthy of the title of All-Star player.
"Kayce should be the league's first post-1s All-Star player, that's so cool, Bro!"
Although James Harden has a lemon in his heart, he is still very happy that his good brother can achieve such an achievement. Among all people, he and Li Ze have the deepest friendship and the most sincere blessings.
"Thank you brothers for your blessings. This rookie challenge, I believe we can create history together and win the second-year team again. I can't wait. It's really great to play with everyone!"
Li Ze showed a sincere smile, and said good words about not needing money. On the surface, the brothers were all in a happy mood. Seeing that everyone had changed into their team uniforms, Li Ze suddenly got up and said loudly:
"Let us warmly welcome our legendary coach, Mr. Dantley, tonight, he will lead us to make history and win the game!"
"Thank you for the welcome ceremony, Kayce. I am also looking forward to everyone's victory against the second-year team tonight. I have been upset for a long time by that guy Ewing's big words before the game. I hope everyone can perform well and show all of you strength."
Dantley is also very satisfied with Li Ze's arrangement, respect is definitely enough, this guy really knows how to do things.
Li Ze saw Durant wearing a plaid shirt, wearing the big black-rimmed glasses from yesterday, holding a tactical version in his hand, with a serious expression on his face, and almost laughed out loud. What is this? Fantastic dress up!
Durant showed the appearance of a cold and cold boss, and quietly gave Li Ze a look, indicating that the game will proceed as planned.
Li Ze immediately felt relieved. As long as he has the ball, he can show everyone what a scoring machine is. The exhibition game is his paradise.
In the locker room of the second grade, Guigui has been complained by his girlfriend Nina for the past two days. He agreed to go out to play together, but you left your girlfriend in the hotel and went to practice by yourself. Is there such a thing?
"Love, this game is up to you. UCLA is connected. It's time to show our tacit understanding. I don't want to lose to Kayce. You must get more rebounds."
Guigui was whispering to Le Fu at this time, in order to win this game, he spent a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Russell, I'm here, the rebounds are all mine, you just need to play fast break boldly, but you can't go back on your trip to Spain during the offseason!"
Chubby Love is also relatively swollen now. After all, he is a double-double machine in the league. If he abuses the rookie's inside line, it must be easy to catch.
"No problem, just because Rose doesn't play in this game, I can also take the opportunity to score more points, and try to break Kevin's scoring record in the Rookie Challenge!"
Although there is no chance to seek revenge from Durant, Guigui is also very happy to be able to abuse Li Ze.
OJ-Mayo noticed that Turtle and Love were whispering, and immediately guessed their intentions, and immediately said to his teammate Marc Gasol:
"Mark, pass the ball to me more after you get the rebound, go back to Memphis, choose any restaurant!"
"It's a trivial matter, just pay attention to it!"
Originally, both sides of the Rookie Challenge were generally playing tepidly, but since Li Ze entered the All-Star team, everyone in the second-year team wanted to kill Li Ze's limelight, and the head coach Ewing also came to the locker room. Immediately said:
"I won't say anything about tactical play. You are already second-year players. It is normal to win. You don't want to be underestimated by the opponent's rookie All-Star. Go all out and win the game!"
The game is about to start. During the warm-up period before the game, Li Ze saw everyone wearing their respective team jerseys and warming up on the court in a mess. He couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
If the rookie team and the sophomore team are on the same team, they will wear different colors for the home and away games. For example, the turtles wear white home jerseys, and Li Ze wears blue away game jerseys.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Li Ze couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"Don't pass it on to the wrong person when the time comes, this colorful look is really uncomfortable"
In the CCTV studio, Yang Yi also began to introduce the starting situation of the two teams:
"The starters for the first-year rookies are Li Ze, Jennings, Curry, Harden, and Blair, and the starters for the second-year team are Westbrook, Mayo, Gallinari, Beasley, and Lopez."
"The first-year side is quite short. Although Blair plays the fourth and fifth positions in the Spurs, he is only a little over two meters tall. At first glance, he is as tall as Li Ze. This lineup is almost 5 guards. "
Director Zhang couldn't help complaining when he saw a bunch of small guys on the first-year team.
"Indeed, the height of the second-year team is obviously much higher. At the start of the game, Lopez jumped to the ball, and Westbrook threw it when he came up!"
After receiving the ball, Guigui quickly crossed the half court. Facing the loose defense, the front of his right hand turned backwards, and he shot a jumper with an emergency stop near the free throw line.
"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.
Seeing Guigui's serious expression, Li Ze smiled in his heart, and scored with two points, brother, you are out!
Li Ze came to the bottom line to serve very schemingly, quickly sent the ball to Stephen Curry, and then ran towards the frontcourt immediately. Harden received the pass from Curry, dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed his direction easily. Drive Gallinari.
Noticing that Beasley came to help defend, he quickly passed the ball to Li Ze who was open in the right corner. Li Ze did not adjust after receiving the ball, and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Shua" made an open three-pointer and made a steady hit.
Li Ze, who returned to defense, gave Harden a high-five to celebrate. In such an exhibition game, the bonus effect of [Hot Zone Hunter] + [Catch and Shooter] is more prominent. As long as he is in the hot spot of shooting, Li Zi feels that his shooting percentage should be Can exceed 5%.
"Hey, Li Ze made a three-pointer at the beginning of the game. It seems that he is in good shape, and he can try to get more points!"
Director Zhang cheerfully said that he was happy when Li Ze scored a goal.
"The rookie challenge is 20 minutes apart between the first and second halves. The pace of the game is still very fast. The previous highest scoring record was created by Kevin Durant in the previous session, with 46 points in a single game. Audience friends can also participate in the guessing activity , Guess how many points Li Ze can get in this game."
While introducing the rules of the Rookie Challenge, Yang Yi promoted the activities of CCTV.
This time the second-year team was directly used by Mayo for halftime, and after a simple pick-and-roll with Lopez, Mayo immediately made a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Bang" hit an iron with anger.
The long rebound was accepted by Li Ze, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately launched a transition attack. He quickly dribbled across the half court, held the ball in his left hand during the march, faced Beasley's defense, suddenly changed direction with his crotch, and dribbled the ball behind the back with his right hand After that, he stepped back from outside the three-point line and made a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Hey! It's really good! Li Ze obviously showed off his dribbling skills. He swung the defensive three-point line and pulled it up before throwing it. The movement is really beautiful."
"Aha!!"
The fans at the scene also burst into enthusiastic cheers. Everyone loves to watch the players show off their tricks, and Li Ze scored this goal very coquettishly.
Beasley was also a little dumbfounded. In fact, he had already interfered a bit from the side, but he didn't expect Li Ze to throw the ball into the basket easily like a juggler.
Li Ze quickly returned to defense with a smile, the effect of [Hot Zone Hunter] + [Circus Three Pointer] + [Strong Shot Master] is not something to brag about!If it wasn't for the fact that the coaching staff didn't allow Li Ze to make such a move during the regular season, Li Ze would have been so handsome!
Guigui didn't want to see Li Ze's shot feel good, but this kind of exhibition game really didn't have too much defensive pressure, and there was no good way, so he could only work hard.
This time, the tortoise dribbled through the half court, stopped and got up quickly, and went straight to the inside in an instant. Blair didn't defend with all his strength, and watched the tortoise layup with a low hand and scored the ball.
Stephen Curry quickly served the baseline ball. After receiving the ball, Harden immediately dribbled across the half court. This time he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he shook the defense and rushed to the penalty area.
After playing for more than three minutes in the opening game, the two sides came and went, and the shooting rate was super high. After Li Ze made two three-pointers, he began to fish on the field and collect assists by the way.
After receiving a pass from Harden at 45 degrees outside the three-point line, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and made a cross-step breakthrough. During the march, he pulled back under his crotch, and made a fancy turn with his right hand, easily swaying Gallinari, and noticed Lopez Came here to help.
With a flick of his left wrist, he hit the ground and passed the ball and easily tore through the defense. After catching the ball, Blair took advantage of the opportunity to dunk with both hands!
"Kuang" dunked under the basket.
"Li Ze is really good at playing! Breaking through these two moves is smooth and smooth, and the passing is just right, allowing Blair to dunk easily after receiving the ball. This is what the All-Stars have to do!"
Jennings on the field soon found that he rarely received the ball. After playing for more than three minutes, he took two shots, and all of them were ironed. Most of the time, the ball was in the hands of Curry and Harden. From time to time, Shang Li Ze will also hold the ball and advance, and the possession of the ball is almost gone.
What's even more exasperating is that every time Li Ze passes him the ball, he will face the tortoise's defense. The whole court is played seriously by this guy, which also makes James feel aggrieved to death.
Mayo was also very depressed after the opening. He saw Li Ze throwing in a three-pointer and wanted to respond, but the first two shots were all ironed out. Then he found that it was difficult for him to make another shot. Just take the ball and do it.
In this sophomore team's attack, Mayo managed to get the ball again. He defended Jennings outside the three-point line, and after continuous dribbles under the crotch, he made a horizontal jumper.
"Bang" continued to strike iron.
The long rebound was picked up by Li Ze again, and after passing it to Curry, he quickly rushed across the opponent's half court, noticing that the defense of the turtle had followed, and Curry passed the ball to Li Ze again.
After Li Ze received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side outside the three-point line, he did not hesitate to stop and shoot a jumper.
"Shua" made an emergency stop and scored a three-pointer.
"Oh!!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene, there was still a step away from the three-point line, and the long-distance emergency stop jumper was a bit too accurate!
The head coach of the second-year team, Ewing, felt something was wrong, and immediately asked for a timeout, trying to interrupt Li Ze's touch.
But unfortunately, after returning from the timeout, there was a problem with the second grade's own offense. It seemed to be affected by Li Ze's three-pointer.
After Harden picked up the long rebound, he dribbled away from Mayo behind his back, and quickly passed the ball to Li Ze.
Li Ze catches the ball and quickly dribbles across the half court. There is a slight pause at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. His right hand is In and Out, and he exerts force with his feet. After a round, smash the ball into the basket with one hand!
"哐" converted the big windmill dunk in the attack.
"A good shot! The dunk is so beautiful and full of strength. Li Ze has scored 11 points in the past few minutes. This scoring efficiency is really high!"
Yang Yi also turned on Li Ze's blowing mode, and loudly praised Li Ze's dunk.
"Beautiful pass, Bro!"
Li Ze, who returned to defense, immediately bumped fists with Harden. In this game, he is going to use a completely magic ball style of play, mid-range?There is no need at all, except that the three-pointer is a slam dunk under the basket, and Guigui must be shown what a ruthless scoring machine is.
When Beasley of the second-year team hit the outside line again, Li Ze, who received the long rebound, immediately passed the ball to Harden, who was fast down. Pull-up jump shot at the top.
"Shua" converted the three-pointer into the net.
"It's incredible! The rookie team's three-pointers are completely missed, and everyone can score. The second-year team has to work harder, pay attention to defense!"
Director Zhang didn't expect the rookie team to shoot three-pointers so accurately, and they started throwing three-pointers in transition.
On the court, Guigui's premonition became stronger and stronger. If the first grade continued to shoot three-pointers like this, then the game would really be over.
Coach Ewing also hurriedly replaced Love on the court. He couldn't just watch the opponent throw three-pointers wildly, but also had to increase the production of three-pointers on his own side.
After Li Ze saw Love on the court, he began to reduce his outside shots and increase his breakthroughs. He knew that Love would not really defend himself. Brothers came on the court, which was a good time to score points.
In the next few minutes, the audience at the scene were completely intoxicated by Li Ze's flashy breakthrough. Li Ze dribbled the ball under the crotch continuously from the outside, and suddenly made a false move of praying to Buddha, and sent Beasley flying.
After rushing to the penalty area, facing Love's pretentious defense, he dexterously made a European layup and easily scored the ball. After the goal, Li Ze smiled and gave Love a look, and Love returned a wink.
Jennings noticed the small movements of the two and was completely numb. He felt that the field was full of Li Ze's people. Can this ball still be played?
Nearly 10 minutes into the first half, the two teams began to make substitutions and adjustments. At this time, the score was 40-32. The first-year team led by 8 points, and Li Ze was also replaced to rest.
Sitting on the bench, Durant handed over the water and whispered:
"After that, you and Harden will still play for about 3 minutes, pay attention to seize the offensive opportunity, come on, Bro!"
Li Ze blinked, indicating that he understands that as long as there are his own people on the court, there will be opportunities to make shots, and scoring is not a problem.
At the end of the first half, Li Ze made another 3 three-pointers. Durant was also dumbfounded from the sidelines. This must be a bit scary.
At 72:60, the rookie team led by 12 points at halftime, relying on Li Ze's excellent touch.
During the intermission, the first-year team was in the locker room. Harden and Curry were the most excited. The half-time three-pointer was so enjoyable. It was really cool to play with Li Ze!
"Incredible performance, Kayce, 100% shooting, you guys shot crazy tonight!"
The bearded golfer yelled loudly in the locker room.
"It's so cool! 6 three-pointers, several of which were very difficult, and you made all of them. It's unbelievable, Kayce. Every time you catch the ball, the audience cheers. It's so enviable!"
Although Stephen Curry also threw 3 three-pointers in the first half, seeing Li Ze's performance, he couldn't help thinking of lemons.
"Haha, it all depends on everyone's support! We will continue to play in the second half and we will definitely win!"
Hearing Li Ze's words, Jennings and Evans curled their lips secretly. In the first half, these two were completely restricted by Li Ze's brother basketball, and they had no chance to make trouble at all.
In the locker room of the second grade, Guigui was a little anxious. Li Ze's touch exploded in the first half. If he can still maintain his touch in the second half, he will not be able to catch up with these two points.
"Love, you need to shoot more three-pointers, otherwise it will be difficult for us to chase points. My three-pointer feels too bad!"
Le Fu looked at the serious turtle, and said with a relaxed expression:
"Kayce's touch will only get better and better, you know, this kind of game intensity, his three-point shooting is terrible, at UCLA, he was our number one shooter, Russell, be prepared to lose Get ready!"
"."
After the start of the second half of the game, the second-year team witnessed Li Ze's three-pointer performance, catch and shoot, step-back jumper, and the attack after the Cossover. The defense had completely lost its effect, and Li Ze was crazy.
When Li Ze threw the fifth three-pointer in the second half of the game, the fans at the scene were also boiling, and everyone started screaming!
"With 11 three-pointers, Li Ze has now tied the three-pointer record set by Cavaliers rookie Gibson in 08. With 8 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Li Ze has a chance to break this record."
Yang Yi loudly introduced the three-pointer record of the Rookie Challenge.
Durant jumped up and down and shouted loudly on the sidelines, but he kept saying in his heart: Don't go in!Don't go in!Don't go in!
If Li Ze throws another three-pointer, his score in this game will also reach 48 points, which will also break his rookie challenge record for the highest score.
The players on the field also knew that Li Ze was going to break the record, and the low-line serve was directly given to Li Ze.
Holding the ball in his left hand, Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court. As soon as he reached the logo, he immediately shot a jumper. At the same time, he turned around immediately and raised his hands high to signal the audience to cheer up!
"Shua" scored a super long three-pointer.
"what!!"
"Wow!!"
Li Ze's X costume is absolutely in place, and the audience saw Li Ze's arrogant way of celebrating, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"That's so fucking cool! Bro, Logo's [-]! How did you make it!"
The bearded golfer went up to hug Li Ze and yelled loudly. Other teammates also quickly came over to surround Li Ze, and kept beating his chest with small fists. The effect of this ball was too explosive!
Dantley also called a timeout at the right time, allowing Li Ze to receive the cheers of the audience.
"Great job, Li! Do you still need to continue to play? You have already broken Kevin's scoring record. I suggest you set the record to over 50 points, so that it will be difficult for latecomers to surpass you!"
"Haha, thank you for your suggestion. I'd better leave the opportunity to everyone. Records are not important. The important thing is that we are really going to beat the second-year team!"
Li Ze is also knowledgeable and savvy, so he accepts it when he sees it good, and it's time to retire at this time.
"I'm already looking forward to the look on Ewing's face after the loss, take a good rest, Lee!"
Li Ze sat on the bench, slowly replenished his water, and thought triumphantly in his heart:
"I want to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, and I want to break the three-pointer record and the highest score record! What is a super rookie in the league! (Tactical back)"
Thank you for your subscription support~
(End of this chapter)
As an out-and-out business league, the NBA is most worried about the All-Star Weekend when star players are injured and unable to participate in the game.
In recent years, fans have been criticizing that the All-Star Weekend has become more and more boring. The slam dunk contest is always the same poses over and over again, and there is nothing new at all.
So when the Lakers informed the league that Kobe Bryant decided to withdraw from the All-Star Game because of his ankle injury, coupled with finger and wrist injuries, the league operations staff went numb.
More than half of the tickets have been sold out. Many fans came to watch the game just because of Kobe. As a result, the biggest star in the All-Star Game withdrew due to injury. The ratings may have plummeted by a few percentage points!
The originally set script was LeBron James in the East against Kobe Bryant in the West, but now there is one less protagonist, and this scene cannot be performed.
To make matters worse, on February 2th, the Bulls also informed the league that the team's head star Derrick Rose had a layup and collided with Dwight Howard in a game against the Orlando Magic. Broke my hip.
The Bulls said that Derrick Rose will continue to participate in the All-Star Game despite the injury, but the Rookie Challenge and Skills Challenge will be powerless
On the morning of the 11th, NBA Commissioner David Stern was sitting in his office, seeing the injury news sent to him by the staff, he couldn't help rubbing his brows wearily.
This All-Star Weekend, in addition to the league's efforts to run the event well, David Stern will also negotiate with the players' union. The two parties still have not reached a consensus on the issue of the labor agreement.
Derek Fisher, as the chairman of the players union, has a very tough attitude. Players need more protection, and the attitude of the owners of each team is also very obvious. Now that the general environment is in a downturn, the wages of the players are too high.
In 2011, the collective bargaining agreement was about to expire, and David Stern was already in a state of distress. If an agreement could not be reached for a long time, the NBA would face a lockout again. This is not the situation the NBA wants to see.
"Has it been confirmed that Kobe will not play in this All-Star Game? And what about Derrick Rose's specific injury?"
David Stern sorted out his thoughts, and then asked the staff about the specific situation.
"Kobe Bryant should have been injured in early February. In recent games, the Lakers have put Kobe on the injured list."
"Ross was injured in the collision of the game last night, but he insisted on finishing the game. The Bulls probably don't want Rose to consume too much during the All-Star Weekend."
The staff briefly recounted the injuries of the two to David Stern.
"Does Coach George Karl have any requirements for replacement personnel? What suggestions do the coaches of each team have for this replacement personnel?"
David Stern asked another key question. After Brandon Roy was injured, George Karl, the head coach of the Western All-Stars, strongly recommended Chauncey Billup, the core guard of his team. s.
The face of the old coach must be given, and Chauncey Billups is also a champion guard. For such a veteran, other coaches have no objections, and David Stern nodded in agreement.
"At 9 o'clock in the morning, the team's operations staff had already contacted the coaches of each team. Everyone thought that this time you could make your own decision, and no one would have any opinions."
Hearing the staff's answer, David Stern showed a knowing expression. Respect is mutual. Last time he did not refute and replace Chauncey Billups, this time the coaches also reciprocated.
"Very good, I took a look at the suggestions of the operations staff, and I completely agree, notify Russell Westbrook and Anthony Morrow early, let them prepare, as for the replacement of the All-Stars."
"Just let Kayce-LI enter the All-Star bench, I remember this guy is very popular, and by the way, let Dirk Nowitzki return to the starting position, we also need to respect the star player of the host team. "
"By the way, I would like to inform everyone that this All-Star Weekend, we will strive to reach a consensus between the two parties and complete the next stage of the labor agreement. I don't want to wait any longer. In the afternoon, we will continue to meet to discuss related matters."
David Stern thought that Kobe would not be able to play, so he added a popular player to attract the audience. The problem of personnel is easy to solve, but the labor agreement is a big problem. Thinking of having to suffer anger on the weekend, Stern felt helpless sighed deeply:
"If there is a suspension, it will not only be the NBA that will suffer losses"
On the afternoon of the 11th, Li Ze was doing flexibility training with his trainer Meg at home when he suddenly received a call from Coach Brooks.
"Kayce, congratulations, you have been selected as an All-Star. You definitely deserve it. All of us are proud of you!"
"Uh, thanks, coach, did the league really give me a chance as a first-year rookie? That's so cool!"
Although Li Ze was prepared in his heart, he still felt a huge surprise in his heart after hearing the exact news.
"Yes, this is Mr. President's decision. I am personally very satisfied. This is also a respect for the Thunder. We are the No. [-] team in the Western Conference and have two All-Star players. This is a well-deserved honor."
"Enjoy this All-Star Weekend. I have to inform Russell that he has to prepare for the Skills Challenge. I hope he won't lose too badly."
Coach Brooks is in a happy mood. Although he will definitely not be able to take the position of All-Star coach, but he can bring out two All-Star players, which is also the affirmation of the league for him.
"Thank you for your notice, I will do well!"
The trainer Meg saw the happy expression on Li Ze's face, and immediately knew that her big employer was selected as an All-Star, so she immediately sent a fart:
"The NBA finally knows who is the best player. Congratulations, Kayce. You are busy this All-Star Weekend, but I believe you will enjoy this process very much."
"Are you sure you don't need to temporarily add some skills challenge training? We can simply buy some equipment."
"No need at all. You know my basic skills. The rounds and passes are not difficult for me. We can continue with the previous training."
"The compression suit you prepared for me is good, maybe I can wear them in the next game."
The black compression suit on Li Ze's body was extremely close-fitting and breathable. As a player who doesn't wear all kinds of fancy equipment, Li Ze was really moved this time.
"This is a special style that we have improved according to your body shape. I will say hello to the equipment manager of the Thunder team. If you like it, we will also prepare some other equipment for you."
The trainer Meg started selling her equipment in a timely manner.
"No problem, but I always feel that wearing too much equipment is actually useless and will limit flexibility. That guy Russell wears armguards more for X, and we all know this in the team."
"..."
On February 2th, Li Ze had to fly to Dallas. During the day, he had to cooperate with the league to complete makeup photos, fan carnivals, and caring actions. In the evening, he had to watch the All-Star wheelchair basketball game with the team.
After this day's activities, Li Ze was also a little dazed. He ran around in circles at various venues, his hand was weak when signing autographs, and taking pictures continuously made his cheeks sore, and he laughed too much.
While watching the game at night, Li Ze was finally able to sit down and rest, looking at Durant beside him, wearing red slacks, a black suit with a gray shirt inside, and a pair of full-frame black glasses on the bridge of his nose , suddenly a little speechless.
"Kevin, we are the same stylist, why is your color scheme so good?"
"Have you finally found out, Kayce, the color matching is all carefully selected by myself. Look at this pair of glasses, I think it completely enhances my temperament!"
Durant had a smug expression on the surface, but he was crazy about lemons in his heart. Ever since he knew that Li Ze was selected as an All-Star, the sourness in his heart could not go away.
This is an achievement that he failed to achieve in his rookie season. Thinking that when the media and football critics talk about the All-Stars in the future, they will put Li Ze and those historical superstars together, Durant can't help but feel sour.
Hearing Durant's boast, the corners of Li Ze's mouth twitched slightly. Even the stylist can't change this damned temperament. Today he still wears high-top sneakers with dark blue jeans, and his upper body is a simple white T-shirt. A black casual suit.
Li Ze's attire stands out from the rest of the players. It is simple and casual, but the big gold chain is a bit thick, but it is a gift from Jeff Green, and he is usually used to it.
"It's really good. It fits your temperament very well. I haven't seen Russell today. Where has this guy gone?"
Guigui and Nina set off on the 11th, but after arriving in Dallas, Li Ze did not find each other's figure, and Jeff Green disappeared.
"Russell dragged Green to practice the Skills Challenge. Maybe because he didn't want to be at the bottom, Green practiced with him for a day."
Durant said with a smirk, when everyone heard that Guigui was taking part in the Skills Challenge, the unanimous reaction was that this guy must be the bottom one.
Don't fight for steamed buns, Guigui is also cramming for the time being, and after coming to Dallas, he doesn't care about being with his girlfriend anymore.
"Nina must be angry, you know the Rookie Challenge tomorrow, it's up to you, Bro!"
Li Ze gave Durant a look, indicating that the plan will proceed. The first-year rookie team will be coached by Nuggets assistant coach Dantley, and the second-year team will be led by Magic assistant coach Ewing. At the same time, Durant and Bosh will also guest coaching staff.
According to the agreed plan, Li Ze will try his best to appear on the stage with Harden and Curry, so that he can avoid Evans and Jennings who are making troubles. The more shots are made, the data will naturally be indispensable. MVP is not It's at your fingertips!
"Don't worry, with a simple staffing arrangement, the assistant coach still has some rights. As for whether he can win or not, that's up to you. If Russell loses two consecutive Rookie Challenges, he will definitely be depressed to death."
Thinking that Guigui might be counter-killed by the first-year team, Durant began to gloat.
"It's not so easy for him to admit defeat. Love told me that Russell promised that if he was allowed to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, he would take him to Spain during the offseason with full board and lodging. I really can't bear to see my brother Expenses, naturally save money for him!"
Li Ze said this with confidence, and after he finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
"Haha, I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's game!"
……
The Celestial Dynasty on the other side of the ocean is in the midst of the Spring Festival. Although the news is a day late, after the fans learned that Li Ze entered the All-Stars as a substitute, most fans would shout: Li Ze Niu X!
In addition, the 13th was New Year's Eve, and many fans were bored at home. After seeing such news, they immediately started surfing the Internet, and the traffic on Hupu Forum and other sports websites suddenly increased.
"The NBA is still very interested in the Chinese market, and Li Ze was selected as an All-Star in the end."
"Does Li Ze need to rely on the Chinese market? As far as the regular season performance in the first half of the season is concerned, which guard in the West will be better than Li Ze?"
"We really need to pay attention to our market, and don't leave us out when voting! Normal voting, Li Ze is the stable vote king, and it doesn't matter who comes."
"It's hard to say, maybe there are some second devils who specifically blackmail us. Let's see how Ah Lian was hacked before."
"What you said upstairs is too true. Some Kemi just don't like Li Ze, blocking the way of their idols."
"It's a good thing that Kobe doesn't participate in the All-Star Game. Let's take care of his injuries and wait for me to win the All-Star MVP this year."
"What does this post have to do with James? Disappear from this post immediately."
"This time, the All-Star time just coincides with the Spring Festival holiday. It's so comfortable. It would be great if Li Ze could participate in a few more events. I think the slam dunk contest is very good. Li Ze's actual dunk is so cool!"
"The most boring thing is the slam dunk contest. In fact, I hope Li Ze can participate in the three-point shooting contest. In the competition, Li Ze's outside shots are very accurate, but he always shoots some buzzer shots, and his shooting percentage is lowered."
"Skills Challenge is fine too. First win a championship this year, and then change to another event next year. Try to win all the awards and have an All-Star Grand Slam."
"I watched the Rookie Challenge in my first year, and I watched the All-Star Game in my second year. I had a great time this Spring Festival. Did Li Ze travel to China during the offseason? I want to watch Li Ze play live."
"If you have a chance to go to America to watch a Thunder game directly, the tickets are really cheap, and you can go to New York, and then you can see Ah Lian and Li Ze play at the same time."
"Indeed, the tickets for the Big Boobs team are not that expensive, they can't compare with Crouching Tiger!"
"Komei, get out of here, you're everywhere, Lakers tickets are expensive, why are you so proud, don't come out disgusting when it's Chinese New Year's Eve, I've reported it, no thanks!"
When CCTV Sports began broadcasting the NBA All-Star Rookie Challenge the next day, the director burst into laughter seeing the rising ratings in the background, and there is no need to worry about the statistics at the end of next year.
The commentators for this All-Star Weekend are Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping. If it wasn’t for the Spring Festival, Zhang Weiping would have flown directly to America to do live commentary.
Before the game, the two of them didn't need to talk about the visiting team or the home team. They went straight to the point, which was to talk about Li Ze, and ignored other topics.
CCTV Sports also cut a personal short video of Li Ze, which included all kinds of gaudy feats and crazy dunks, which surprised many viewers who watched Li Ze play for the first time in front of the TV.
Many people don’t actually watch the NBA. After watching this short film, most people’s first feeling is: “Can yellow people be so fierce? Are these really our compatriots?”
After watching this short film, Yang Yi was also a little emotional, unbelievable, so many wonderful scenes were cut out in half a season, it is really amazing, seeing the gesture made by the director, restrained his emotions, and then said:
"Welcome to the Rookie Challenge of the 09-10 NBA All-Star Weekend. The commentator we invited today is Zhang Weiping, directed by Zhang."
"Director Zhang, after watching this short video, what do you think? The regular season is halfway through. How do you evaluate Li Ze's current performance?"
Yang Yi immediately asked the topic prepared before the game.
"In fact, there are still many wonderful shots that have not been included. If you have watched Li Ze play live, I believe most fans will be shocked. His strong body, excellent coordination, and excellent explosive power are really geniuses among geniuses. "
"The current record of the Thunder is 41 wins and 10 losses, which has completely surpassed the results of last season. Li Ze's joining has played a decisive factor. I personally think that Li Ze's performance is impeccable, and he is also a well-deserved All-Star."
Director Zhang especially appreciates talented players like Li Ze. Before the All-Star Game, he received a text message from Li Ze. The other party even prepared a lot of tickets for him in the front row. For such a player, it must be blown away Special blow!
"The Thunder is number one in the Western Conference. If the second half of the schedule can maintain this level of performance, Director Zhang, do you think the Thunder can reach the Western Conference Finals this season? Let's exaggerate a bit more, can they directly enter the Finals?"
This topic has been discussed very frequently in major forums recently. Many Thunder fans have shouted out: Thunder team championship slogan. Yang Yi also deliberately picked this topic before the game, following the trend to gain popularity.
"The regular season is different from the playoffs. The most obvious thing is that the confrontation will increase, and the referees will relax some standards. The Thunder may reach the Western Conference Finals, but if the opponent in the finals is the Lakers, it will be difficult to break through this barrier. "
"The Lakers have twin towers on the inside, and Kobe and Artest on the outside. Except for the weaker bench lineup, the Lakers have an overall dominant lineup, because after the confrontation, hitting the ball inside is the most stable way to score. There's no comparison to the Thunder."
"Then there is the problem of experience. The Lakers won the championship last year, and Kobe even won three consecutive championships. With such championship experience, the young Thunder team is really far behind, so the fans don't need to worry about it." Expectations are too high, just passing the first round is already a success."
As a Zen master and Comet, once the Lakers are mentioned, Director Zhang will immediately become Weiping Bryant. His stand is absolutely firm. He is the Lakers.
Yang Yi was a little helpless when he heard this. How should he answer this? Anyway, he praised the Thunder team. In desperation, he had no choice but to smooth things over:
"I also agree with some of Director Zhang's points of view, but I always think that the Thunder's three-man team, the Lakers must not be able to restrain it. If it is really going to the Western Conference Finals, then it depends on the performance on the spot, and it depends on the two teams. What is the quality of the star of the game?"
"The director team reminded us that the game is about to start, let's switch the screen to the front first, and we can chat while watching."
The All-Star weekend event is jointly hosted by the Dallas Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas. The Cowboys Stadium, which costs 11 billion, can accommodate 10 spectators.
However, the Rookie Challenge is still held at the home of the Dallas Mavericks, the American Airlines Arena. Tomorrow's All-Star Game will be moved to the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
The attendance rate tonight is very good, and there are many Chinese fans. Although it is the rookie challenge, as long as they can see Li Ze playing, everyone will buy tickets to support.
In the locker room of the first-year team, Li Zezheng assumed the attitude of a big brother, accepting the blessings of many superficial brothers.
"Congratulations, Li, you were selected as an All-Star in your rookie season, which is so enviable!"
Taj Gibson of the Bulls spoke from his heart. He was already envious. Everyone was still a rookie, but in the end you became a star player. The gap is too big.
"Li's selection is definitely well deserved. The Thunder's record and Li's personal data are all impeccable. Congratulations!"
Tyreke Evans had a sincere expression on the surface, but he was shouting crazily in his heart: The NBA is absolutely blind, I will never pass the ball to him in this game!
"I'm so happy for you Bro, the old guys in the league should make way for us! You definitely deserve an All-Star spot!"
Jennings recognized Li Ze's ability very much, but at this moment he only had one thought in his mind: to win the Rookie Challenge MVP, surpass Li Ze, and pass the ball?That also doesn't exist at all.
"Congratulations, Kayce, the first All-Star in the 09 class!"
Although Stephen Curry is also a little envious, he knows that Li Ze's strength is indeed worthy of the title of All-Star player.
"Kayce should be the league's first post-1s All-Star player, that's so cool, Bro!"
Although James Harden has a lemon in his heart, he is still very happy that his good brother can achieve such an achievement. Among all people, he and Li Ze have the deepest friendship and the most sincere blessings.
"Thank you brothers for your blessings. This rookie challenge, I believe we can create history together and win the second-year team again. I can't wait. It's really great to play with everyone!"
Li Ze showed a sincere smile, and said good words about not needing money. On the surface, the brothers were all in a happy mood. Seeing that everyone had changed into their team uniforms, Li Ze suddenly got up and said loudly:
"Let us warmly welcome our legendary coach, Mr. Dantley, tonight, he will lead us to make history and win the game!"
"Thank you for the welcome ceremony, Kayce. I am also looking forward to everyone's victory against the second-year team tonight. I have been upset for a long time by that guy Ewing's big words before the game. I hope everyone can perform well and show all of you strength."
Dantley is also very satisfied with Li Ze's arrangement, respect is definitely enough, this guy really knows how to do things.
Li Ze saw Durant wearing a plaid shirt, wearing the big black-rimmed glasses from yesterday, holding a tactical version in his hand, with a serious expression on his face, and almost laughed out loud. What is this? Fantastic dress up!
Durant showed the appearance of a cold and cold boss, and quietly gave Li Ze a look, indicating that the game will proceed as planned.
Li Ze immediately felt relieved. As long as he has the ball, he can show everyone what a scoring machine is. The exhibition game is his paradise.
In the locker room of the second grade, Guigui has been complained by his girlfriend Nina for the past two days. He agreed to go out to play together, but you left your girlfriend in the hotel and went to practice by yourself. Is there such a thing?
"Love, this game is up to you. UCLA is connected. It's time to show our tacit understanding. I don't want to lose to Kayce. You must get more rebounds."
Guigui was whispering to Le Fu at this time, in order to win this game, he spent a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Russell, I'm here, the rebounds are all mine, you just need to play fast break boldly, but you can't go back on your trip to Spain during the offseason!"
Chubby Love is also relatively swollen now. After all, he is a double-double machine in the league. If he abuses the rookie's inside line, it must be easy to catch.
"No problem, just because Rose doesn't play in this game, I can also take the opportunity to score more points, and try to break Kevin's scoring record in the Rookie Challenge!"
Although there is no chance to seek revenge from Durant, Guigui is also very happy to be able to abuse Li Ze.
OJ-Mayo noticed that Turtle and Love were whispering, and immediately guessed their intentions, and immediately said to his teammate Marc Gasol:
"Mark, pass the ball to me more after you get the rebound, go back to Memphis, choose any restaurant!"
"It's a trivial matter, just pay attention to it!"
Originally, both sides of the Rookie Challenge were generally playing tepidly, but since Li Ze entered the All-Star team, everyone in the second-year team wanted to kill Li Ze's limelight, and the head coach Ewing also came to the locker room. Immediately said:
"I won't say anything about tactical play. You are already second-year players. It is normal to win. You don't want to be underestimated by the opponent's rookie All-Star. Go all out and win the game!"
The game is about to start. During the warm-up period before the game, Li Ze saw everyone wearing their respective team jerseys and warming up on the court in a mess. He couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
If the rookie team and the sophomore team are on the same team, they will wear different colors for the home and away games. For example, the turtles wear white home jerseys, and Li Ze wears blue away game jerseys.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Li Ze couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"Don't pass it on to the wrong person when the time comes, this colorful look is really uncomfortable"
In the CCTV studio, Yang Yi also began to introduce the starting situation of the two teams:
"The starters for the first-year rookies are Li Ze, Jennings, Curry, Harden, and Blair, and the starters for the second-year team are Westbrook, Mayo, Gallinari, Beasley, and Lopez."
"The first-year side is quite short. Although Blair plays the fourth and fifth positions in the Spurs, he is only a little over two meters tall. At first glance, he is as tall as Li Ze. This lineup is almost 5 guards. "
Director Zhang couldn't help complaining when he saw a bunch of small guys on the first-year team.
"Indeed, the height of the second-year team is obviously much higher. At the start of the game, Lopez jumped to the ball, and Westbrook threw it when he came up!"
After receiving the ball, Guigui quickly crossed the half court. Facing the loose defense, the front of his right hand turned backwards, and he shot a jumper with an emergency stop near the free throw line.
"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.
Seeing Guigui's serious expression, Li Ze smiled in his heart, and scored with two points, brother, you are out!
Li Ze came to the bottom line to serve very schemingly, quickly sent the ball to Stephen Curry, and then ran towards the frontcourt immediately. Harden received the pass from Curry, dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed his direction easily. Drive Gallinari.
Noticing that Beasley came to help defend, he quickly passed the ball to Li Ze who was open in the right corner. Li Ze did not adjust after receiving the ball, and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Shua" made an open three-pointer and made a steady hit.
Li Ze, who returned to defense, gave Harden a high-five to celebrate. In such an exhibition game, the bonus effect of [Hot Zone Hunter] + [Catch and Shooter] is more prominent. As long as he is in the hot spot of shooting, Li Zi feels that his shooting percentage should be Can exceed 5%.
"Hey, Li Ze made a three-pointer at the beginning of the game. It seems that he is in good shape, and he can try to get more points!"
Director Zhang cheerfully said that he was happy when Li Ze scored a goal.
"The rookie challenge is 20 minutes apart between the first and second halves. The pace of the game is still very fast. The previous highest scoring record was created by Kevin Durant in the previous session, with 46 points in a single game. Audience friends can also participate in the guessing activity , Guess how many points Li Ze can get in this game."
While introducing the rules of the Rookie Challenge, Yang Yi promoted the activities of CCTV.
This time the second-year team was directly used by Mayo for halftime, and after a simple pick-and-roll with Lopez, Mayo immediately made a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Bang" hit an iron with anger.
The long rebound was accepted by Li Ze, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately launched a transition attack. He quickly dribbled across the half court, held the ball in his left hand during the march, faced Beasley's defense, suddenly changed direction with his crotch, and dribbled the ball behind the back with his right hand After that, he stepped back from outside the three-point line and made a jumper.
"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.
"Hey! It's really good! Li Ze obviously showed off his dribbling skills. He swung the defensive three-point line and pulled it up before throwing it. The movement is really beautiful."
"Aha!!"
The fans at the scene also burst into enthusiastic cheers. Everyone loves to watch the players show off their tricks, and Li Ze scored this goal very coquettishly.
Beasley was also a little dumbfounded. In fact, he had already interfered a bit from the side, but he didn't expect Li Ze to throw the ball into the basket easily like a juggler.
Li Ze quickly returned to defense with a smile, the effect of [Hot Zone Hunter] + [Circus Three Pointer] + [Strong Shot Master] is not something to brag about!If it wasn't for the fact that the coaching staff didn't allow Li Ze to make such a move during the regular season, Li Ze would have been so handsome!
Guigui didn't want to see Li Ze's shot feel good, but this kind of exhibition game really didn't have too much defensive pressure, and there was no good way, so he could only work hard.
This time, the tortoise dribbled through the half court, stopped and got up quickly, and went straight to the inside in an instant. Blair didn't defend with all his strength, and watched the tortoise layup with a low hand and scored the ball.
Stephen Curry quickly served the baseline ball. After receiving the ball, Harden immediately dribbled across the half court. This time he did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he shook the defense and rushed to the penalty area.
After playing for more than three minutes in the opening game, the two sides came and went, and the shooting rate was super high. After Li Ze made two three-pointers, he began to fish on the field and collect assists by the way.
After receiving a pass from Harden at 45 degrees outside the three-point line, Li Ze held the ball in his left hand and made a cross-step breakthrough. During the march, he pulled back under his crotch, and made a fancy turn with his right hand, easily swaying Gallinari, and noticed Lopez Came here to help.
With a flick of his left wrist, he hit the ground and passed the ball and easily tore through the defense. After catching the ball, Blair took advantage of the opportunity to dunk with both hands!
"Kuang" dunked under the basket.
"Li Ze is really good at playing! Breaking through these two moves is smooth and smooth, and the passing is just right, allowing Blair to dunk easily after receiving the ball. This is what the All-Stars have to do!"
Jennings on the field soon found that he rarely received the ball. After playing for more than three minutes, he took two shots, and all of them were ironed. Most of the time, the ball was in the hands of Curry and Harden. From time to time, Shang Li Ze will also hold the ball and advance, and the possession of the ball is almost gone.
What's even more exasperating is that every time Li Ze passes him the ball, he will face the tortoise's defense. The whole court is played seriously by this guy, which also makes James feel aggrieved to death.
Mayo was also very depressed after the opening. He saw Li Ze throwing in a three-pointer and wanted to respond, but the first two shots were all ironed out. Then he found that it was difficult for him to make another shot. Just take the ball and do it.
In this sophomore team's attack, Mayo managed to get the ball again. He defended Jennings outside the three-point line, and after continuous dribbles under the crotch, he made a horizontal jumper.
"Bang" continued to strike iron.
The long rebound was picked up by Li Ze again, and after passing it to Curry, he quickly rushed across the opponent's half court, noticing that the defense of the turtle had followed, and Curry passed the ball to Li Ze again.
After Li Ze received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side outside the three-point line, he did not hesitate to stop and shoot a jumper.
"Shua" made an emergency stop and scored a three-pointer.
"Oh!!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene, there was still a step away from the three-point line, and the long-distance emergency stop jumper was a bit too accurate!
The head coach of the second-year team, Ewing, felt something was wrong, and immediately asked for a timeout, trying to interrupt Li Ze's touch.
But unfortunately, after returning from the timeout, there was a problem with the second grade's own offense. It seemed to be affected by Li Ze's three-pointer.
After Harden picked up the long rebound, he dribbled away from Mayo behind his back, and quickly passed the ball to Li Ze.
Li Ze catches the ball and quickly dribbles across the half court. There is a slight pause at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. His right hand is In and Out, and he exerts force with his feet. After a round, smash the ball into the basket with one hand!
"哐" converted the big windmill dunk in the attack.
"A good shot! The dunk is so beautiful and full of strength. Li Ze has scored 11 points in the past few minutes. This scoring efficiency is really high!"
Yang Yi also turned on Li Ze's blowing mode, and loudly praised Li Ze's dunk.
"Beautiful pass, Bro!"
Li Ze, who returned to defense, immediately bumped fists with Harden. In this game, he is going to use a completely magic ball style of play, mid-range?There is no need at all, except that the three-pointer is a slam dunk under the basket, and Guigui must be shown what a ruthless scoring machine is.
When Beasley of the second-year team hit the outside line again, Li Ze, who received the long rebound, immediately passed the ball to Harden, who was fast down. Pull-up jump shot at the top.
"Shua" converted the three-pointer into the net.
"It's incredible! The rookie team's three-pointers are completely missed, and everyone can score. The second-year team has to work harder, pay attention to defense!"
Director Zhang didn't expect the rookie team to shoot three-pointers so accurately, and they started throwing three-pointers in transition.
On the court, Guigui's premonition became stronger and stronger. If the first grade continued to shoot three-pointers like this, then the game would really be over.
Coach Ewing also hurriedly replaced Love on the court. He couldn't just watch the opponent throw three-pointers wildly, but also had to increase the production of three-pointers on his own side.
After Li Ze saw Love on the court, he began to reduce his outside shots and increase his breakthroughs. He knew that Love would not really defend himself. Brothers came on the court, which was a good time to score points.
In the next few minutes, the audience at the scene were completely intoxicated by Li Ze's flashy breakthrough. Li Ze dribbled the ball under the crotch continuously from the outside, and suddenly made a false move of praying to Buddha, and sent Beasley flying.
After rushing to the penalty area, facing Love's pretentious defense, he dexterously made a European layup and easily scored the ball. After the goal, Li Ze smiled and gave Love a look, and Love returned a wink.
Jennings noticed the small movements of the two and was completely numb. He felt that the field was full of Li Ze's people. Can this ball still be played?
Nearly 10 minutes into the first half, the two teams began to make substitutions and adjustments. At this time, the score was 40-32. The first-year team led by 8 points, and Li Ze was also replaced to rest.
Sitting on the bench, Durant handed over the water and whispered:
"After that, you and Harden will still play for about 3 minutes, pay attention to seize the offensive opportunity, come on, Bro!"
Li Ze blinked, indicating that he understands that as long as there are his own people on the court, there will be opportunities to make shots, and scoring is not a problem.
At the end of the first half, Li Ze made another 3 three-pointers. Durant was also dumbfounded from the sidelines. This must be a bit scary.
At 72:60, the rookie team led by 12 points at halftime, relying on Li Ze's excellent touch.
During the intermission, the first-year team was in the locker room. Harden and Curry were the most excited. The half-time three-pointer was so enjoyable. It was really cool to play with Li Ze!
"Incredible performance, Kayce, 100% shooting, you guys shot crazy tonight!"
The bearded golfer yelled loudly in the locker room.
"It's so cool! 6 three-pointers, several of which were very difficult, and you made all of them. It's unbelievable, Kayce. Every time you catch the ball, the audience cheers. It's so enviable!"
Although Stephen Curry also threw 3 three-pointers in the first half, seeing Li Ze's performance, he couldn't help thinking of lemons.
"Haha, it all depends on everyone's support! We will continue to play in the second half and we will definitely win!"
Hearing Li Ze's words, Jennings and Evans curled their lips secretly. In the first half, these two were completely restricted by Li Ze's brother basketball, and they had no chance to make trouble at all.
In the locker room of the second grade, Guigui was a little anxious. Li Ze's touch exploded in the first half. If he can still maintain his touch in the second half, he will not be able to catch up with these two points.
"Love, you need to shoot more three-pointers, otherwise it will be difficult for us to chase points. My three-pointer feels too bad!"
Le Fu looked at the serious turtle, and said with a relaxed expression:
"Kayce's touch will only get better and better, you know, this kind of game intensity, his three-point shooting is terrible, at UCLA, he was our number one shooter, Russell, be prepared to lose Get ready!"
"."
After the start of the second half of the game, the second-year team witnessed Li Ze's three-pointer performance, catch and shoot, step-back jumper, and the attack after the Cossover. The defense had completely lost its effect, and Li Ze was crazy.
When Li Ze threw the fifth three-pointer in the second half of the game, the fans at the scene were also boiling, and everyone started screaming!
"With 11 three-pointers, Li Ze has now tied the three-pointer record set by Cavaliers rookie Gibson in 08. With 8 minutes and 17 seconds left in the game, Li Ze has a chance to break this record."
Yang Yi loudly introduced the three-pointer record of the Rookie Challenge.
Durant jumped up and down and shouted loudly on the sidelines, but he kept saying in his heart: Don't go in!Don't go in!Don't go in!
If Li Ze throws another three-pointer, his score in this game will also reach 48 points, which will also break his rookie challenge record for the highest score.
The players on the field also knew that Li Ze was going to break the record, and the low-line serve was directly given to Li Ze.
Holding the ball in his left hand, Li Ze slowly dribbled across the half court. As soon as he reached the logo, he immediately shot a jumper. At the same time, he turned around immediately and raised his hands high to signal the audience to cheer up!
"Shua" scored a super long three-pointer.
"what!!"
"Wow!!"
Li Ze's X costume is absolutely in place, and the audience saw Li Ze's arrogant way of celebrating, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"That's so fucking cool! Bro, Logo's [-]! How did you make it!"
The bearded golfer went up to hug Li Ze and yelled loudly. Other teammates also quickly came over to surround Li Ze, and kept beating his chest with small fists. The effect of this ball was too explosive!
Dantley also called a timeout at the right time, allowing Li Ze to receive the cheers of the audience.
"Great job, Li! Do you still need to continue to play? You have already broken Kevin's scoring record. I suggest you set the record to over 50 points, so that it will be difficult for latecomers to surpass you!"
"Haha, thank you for your suggestion. I'd better leave the opportunity to everyone. Records are not important. The important thing is that we are really going to beat the second-year team!"
Li Ze is also knowledgeable and savvy, so he accepts it when he sees it good, and it's time to retire at this time.
"I'm already looking forward to the look on Ewing's face after the loss, take a good rest, Lee!"
Li Ze sat on the bench, slowly replenished his water, and thought triumphantly in his heart:
"I want to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, and I want to break the three-pointer record and the highest score record! What is a super rookie in the league! (Tactical back)"
