The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 155 The Youth Version of Jordan in the Left Half District
The NBA regular season of the 09-10 season is coming to an end, and at this time, the selection of various regular season awards is about to begin. All the hot spots are concentrated on each award, and media reporters and football critics have also begun to frequently express their opinions in public vocalize.

Except for the unsuspecting award of the best rookie award, other awards, star fans and the media have already fought together. As long as it involves various NBA programs, the award will inevitably be mentioned.

Among them, the most popular one is of course the ownership of the regular season MVP award. This season, the Thunder has suddenly emerged, and Durant also ranked second in the list of regular season MVP candidates, surpassing Kobe Bryant. Second to LeBron James.

On TNT's NBA 24-hour program, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley also followed the hot spots and began to discuss Durant's rise in rankings.

"Charles, until now in the regular season, who do you think will win the MVP award this season? Kobe, who you were optimistic about before, has been overtaken by Durant in the rankings."

Kenny Smith began to tease his old partner next to him. This guy's prediction was basically not accurate.

"If I were to change another candidate, I would vote for LeBron James. At the beginning of the season, the Cavaliers didn't get along well with the lineup, and the record was a mess!"

"But LeBron James took the lead, and as the game went on, the Cavaliers got better and better."

Charles Barkley solemnly stated his favorite winner.

"Wow! Why not Kevin Durant, if I were to vote, I would definitely vote for Durant, he has a high probability of winning the scoring title this season, he is the best player in the Thunder , His performance is definitely not lost to LeBron James."

Kenny Smith naturally has to put forward a different point of view. The purpose of TNT's program is to tear the fight.

"Durant performed well, but I still think the real core of the Thunder is Kayce, Durant is a good scorer, but he didn't make his teammates better."

Charles Barkley naturally refused to admit defeat, and immediately stated his reasons.

As we all know, the NBA regular season MVP selection is jointly voted by reporters from America, Canadian reporters, and football critics. You can choose 5 people and write their names from 1 to 5.

第1位的球员可以获得10分，后面几位得分顺延，分别是7分、5分、3分和1分。

Of course, the best five players in everyone's mind will be different, but the default rule is that everyone should choose from the top four teams in the league. The candidates must be the core players of the team, with good data and attendance rate. passable.

Of course, the most important point is that the relationship with the media reporters must also be good, unless your performance exceeds all the players by a large margin, otherwise why do you put you in the first place.

Kenny Smith laughed out loud when he heard Charles Barkley's reasoning, and immediately retorted:
"The player with the highest score in the team will of course be the core of the team. With Durant's restraint, Kayce will play better. The Thunder have their own exclusive offensive system, and Durant acts as the core of the team. hand."

"OK, I admit that Durant has a strong scoring ability, but you should also look at the teammates next to LeBron James!"

"The most reliable scoring point around him is Mo Williams, which is not comparable to Kayce. Considering the difficulty of leading the team, LeBron James should win the award."

Charles Barkley changed his reason and continued to fight.
"It's not fair that you compare a rookie to a veteran!"

"The Thunder are almost all rookies. It is more admirable to have such a record. As a third-year rookie, Durant has done a good job. You are double-standard!"

Kenny Smith was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and immediately responded with a choked voice.

"What I'm saying is the truth. If you let me team up with Michael Jordan as a rookie, the game will definitely be easier. We can even win the championship directly. You have to consider the actual situation. A rookie does not mean that you are weak immediately."

"No matter how strong they are, they are also rookies. This should be a plus point. We all came from the player period. You should understand how difficult it is for a rookie team to become the Thunder!"

"OK, according to what you said, then I will vote for Kayce, and I support him to win the regular season MVP."

"You're talking nonsense! We're talking about MVP candidates, and you can't get out of that frame!"

"That's a list of shit, I don't agree with it!"

Durant, who was resting in the hotel, immediately turned off the TV when he saw this, and cursed directly angrily:
"Fack! Shit Barkley, how difficult is it to lead the team? I'm not the manager of the team. The team lineup is reasonable. Is it my fault? Kayce is strong, and it's my fault?"

Just after the game against the Raptors, Durant returned to the hotel and was surfing the Internet happily. When he checked Twitter, he saw that he had risen to the second place in the MVP candidate list. He was in a good mood. After watching the TNT program , suddenly very angry.

Durant immediately changed into his own trumpet, and at the same time began to greet the members of his discussion group, silently ruthless in his heart:
"I have to spray you fat pig to death, let you blackmail me on TV every day, you can't get the garbage of the championship even if you hold your thighs, and you don't want to get any positive comments from me in the future!"

After returning to the hotel to rest, Li Ze didn't pay attention to those boring NBA programs at all. He also knew that the regular season award selection was about to start, but he was a rookie, and the MVP basically had no chance.

At most, it is to enter the best lineup, a little bit hanging for a while, and the third team is relatively stable.

After taking a simple bath, Li Ze lay on the big bed in the hotel, looking at a lot of unanswered text messages in his phone, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and after reading a lot of messages on Facebook and Twitter, he was completely numb.
It can’t be blamed on him, since after he sang a song at that restaurant in Toronto, several fans uploaded the video directly to YouTube, and the number of views exploded.

Originally, the song "Shape of you" was dangling in the top 10 of the billboard, but now it became a small hit again.

"It seems that I have to open a small account if I have the opportunity, otherwise there will be so many unread messages, it will kill the obsessive-compulsive disorder!"

In the dream training space, Li Ze finally saw the upgrade prompt on the achievement room on the control panel, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the silver badge should be completed soon.

When entering the achievement room, Li Ze first checked the experience of all the badges, made a simple estimate, and was completely sure that there was no hope of being promoted to gold this season, but he was also very happy when he saw a large number of silver badges .

Tap the newly upgraded silver badge in front of you to see the changes in attributes:
Achievement Badge [Lean Back to the King]: 3/500
Improve the ability to make post-up fadeaway jump shots and improve the stability of the shot.

Li Ze saw that it was another attribute to improve the stability of the shot. The effect of this attribute is actually very good. It can ensure that he can still exert force smoothly even when his movements are deformed. However, he was slightly disappointed that he did not directly increase the hit rate. Helplessly thought in my heart:
"It's good to upgrade, but you still have to continue to practice shooting hot spots"

On March 3, the Thunder flew to Indiana. They will challenge the Pacers away. After this game, there will be a back-to-back game against the Spurs on the second day. Ze couldn't complain anymore.

"Kevin, did you suffer from insomnia last night? Congratulations on your rise to No. 2 on the MVP candidate list. Maybe you have a chance to win this award this season!"

On the plane, Li Ze saw Durant listless and congratulated him briefly.

"Thanks, Bro, but basically I don't have much hope of getting the MVP. I can guarantee the vote. 80% of the media votes, the first place will be LeBron James. He is the top star of Nike."

Although Durant looked calm on the surface, he was secretly ruthless in his heart:

"Let James jump for a while, and when I sign a 10-year $3 million contract during the offseason, Nike's top card will become me!"

"Perhaps the league should change the selection rules for the MVP of the regular season. Many media and ball critics don't understand basketball at all. They haven't even played basketball, but they can select this award. It's too unfair!"

Jeff Green also helped the good brothers complain about the selection rules.

"If I remember correctly, the league seems to have changed the rules this year, adding a fan voting session, and the top 5 with the most votes are also counted normally, but I feel that such a rule change is not very useful, mainly depends on the media voting. "

Guigui also has the heart of an MVP, always paying attention to the changes of the rules.

"Such revisions cannot change the voting results, but just give fans an explanation. In fact, the league should move the awarding time of each award to the end of the finals, so as to avoid some embarrassing situations."

"In the 06-07 season, the Mavericks played very well. Dirk Nowitzki won the regular season MVP, but unfortunately, he was black-8ed by the Warriors in the first round. Guys, I still remember that Nowitzki led It was very embarrassing when it was awarded.”

Collison recalled the embarrassing scene when the award was presented, and complained with a wry smile.

"Why doesn't the NBA hold an awards ceremony similar to ESPY? Before the end of the season, we can only announce the list of candidates, and wait until the finals are over and announce the winners at the awards ceremony. This is reasonable!"

Kostic also thought about the possibility of the future. Although his probability of winning the prize is low, it is good to watch the excitement.

"According to the current development trend, there is no need to think about the awards ceremony. Maybe we will still face the crisis of shutting down."

When Maynor thought that he might lose his job, he suddenly felt that his future was bleak. A role player like him didn't want the league to be suspended. After all, he was used to spending money lavishly, and he really didn't have any savings.

"Oh! Shet! Shut up, don't mention those spoilers!"

"There will definitely not be a suspension. Anyway, we can play as usual next season. It's useless to think so far!"

Li Ze listened to everyone's chattering, and the future information suddenly appeared in his mind:

"The lockout, the salary cap has soared, and the current players may really find it hard to imagine how much money the superstars will earn in the future."

The Indiana Pacers currently have a record of 23 wins and 46 losses. In theory, they may still make the playoffs, provided that the 8th-ranked Bulls and the 9th-ranked Raptors start consecutive games. lose.
Although the team's record is not good, and the playoffs seem to be hopeless, the attendance rate of the Conseco Arena tonight is very good, and many fans are rushing to the Thunder to buy tickets.

After a season of games, NBA fans have also found that the Thunder team is really good to play. Regardless of winning or losing, you can see the rapid offensive and defensive transitions, explosive dunks, and wonderful crossovers in Thunder games. Watch it live The ball is definitely not lost.

It's just that just over 4 minutes into the game, Durant sprained his foot during a breakthrough and fell to the ground in pain.

"Oh!!"

The audience at Conseco Arena also let out a gasp when they saw Durant fall to the ground with his hands on his ankles.

Head coach Brooks and the coaching staff were terrified. At this time, the main scorer in the starting lineup was injured, and the playoffs were really going to be cold.
"Fake!"

Head coach Brooks cursed secretly, and quickly signaled the team doctor to go and check. After a while, everyone was relieved when they saw Durant was able to stand up by himself, and with the support of his teammates, limped to the bench.

"It's not a big problem, it's just a slight sprain. To be on the safe side, replace Kevin temporarily in the first half!"

Hearing that the team doctor had confirmed Durant's injury, Coach Brooks let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly replaced Durant. At the same time, he began to tell his players:
"Pay attention to the action, guys, we must stay healthy, there are only more than 10 games left, I don't want to see everyone's name appear on the injury list in the first round of the playoffs!"

"I feel okay, coach, let me rest for 5 minutes, I can continue to play."

Durant was still thinking about his great career of scoring points. After all, LeBron James was chasing fiercely, and he didn't want to suddenly lose the chain in the last dozen games of the regular season.

"You can sit on the bench in the first half. During the intermission, we will see how the situation is. The outcome of one or two games is not important!"

When Durant heard Coach Brooks' words, he had no choice but to sit on the bench. Although it was very painful at the time, he could feel that his ankle was just sprained, and it is much better now.

Li Ze was also taken aback. If Durant was really injured at this time, he would really have to rely on him to score points in the playoffs. Durant is a top dog, and the Pacers are full of people in the penalty area. As a result, this one rushed inside.
Troy Murphy and Roy Hibbert are both big men over 210cm. Both of them squat down to defend, and they also bring the opposing defender into the penalty area. It is also a high probability to reach the feet.

"Ibaka, pay attention to the protection of rebounds after playing, and communicate more with teammates on the defensive end. We will continue to defend in 32 zones. Kayce, when there is an opportunity, shoot decisively. Use more jump shots and less rush into the penalty area."

When Li Ze heard what Coach Brooks said, he immediately nodded to show that he understood that there are still more than a dozen games left in the regular season, and his current offensive method is mainly iron-blooded jump shots. Great Health Play
The game continued, the Thunder attacked, Ibaka raised the pick-and-roll, Li Ze took the ball and went left to break through, easily got rid of Brandon Rush's defense, and made an emergency stop jumper at the left elbow of the free throw line.

"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.

Li Ze was speechless when he saw Roy Hibbert continue to choose to defend in the pit. The two big men almost kept on the inside, probably for the sake of rebounding statistics.
When the Pacers were attacking, Danny Granger played a pick-and-roll with Troy Murphy after receiving the ball. After the split, Troy Murphy quickly bounced out. Outside jumper shot.

"Shua" three-point hollow net.

Krstic didn't expect the opponent to make a direct shot without adjusting, so his reaction was half a beat slow, and he immediately indicated that the ball was his problem.

Li Ze has a weird look, playing with the Pacers, he seems to have seen the inside match of the Nets, Lopez and Alian are one inside and one outside, but the Pacers are the same, as long as Roy Hibbert is in On the inside, Troy Murphy is throwing outside, and the two may have made an appointment on how to score points.
In the first quarter of the game, after Durant went off the field due to injury, the game began to become uneventful. The Thunder's offensive space has shrunk a lot. Although Li Ze's mid-range is very accurate, the tortoise is in the sewer again.
Li Ze has already figured out when the turtle will enter the sewer. If the schedule is a little tight, as long as the first two games are played well, there is a high probability of a draw in the third game. As for Jeff Green, he can shoot accurately in the first quarter. In the 3nd quarter of the game, the basket is basically blocked!
The second quarter of the game was also just as Li Ze expected, and Jeff Green began to slowly strike the iron again.

After seeing Jeff Green hitting two irons in a row, he looked a little embarrassed. When retreating, Li Ze smiled and comforted:
"The Pacers won't follow up if there is an open shot. Their strategy for this game is to let us shoot from the outside and shoot resolutely, Bro!"

Li Ze also understands the thoughts of the Pacers players. Anyway, there is a high probability that they will miss the playoffs, so there is no need to work hard on the defensive end. Except for Danny Granger who is still full of energy, the rest of the players who came off the bench Obviously just want to swipe the data on the offensive end.

It's just that the Thunder's offensive end also has a small problem, and they can't make open shots.
At the end of the halftime game, at 48:54, the Thunder trailed by 6 points in the away game. Li Ze played extremely steadily. He scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the halftime game, without free throws, and made all 10 mid-range shots.

Under such a squatting defense, as long as he is in the hot spot of shooting, Li Ze's shooting rate can easily exceed 5% with the blessing of a silver badge.

During the intermission, Turtle and Jeff Green were both a little embarrassed. In fact, this happened in previous games, but with Durant around, the Thunder's offense can still withstand it. Tonight is considered It's completely exposed.

"What's the matter, Russell, you should continue to shoot in the second half of the game. The two big men of the Pacers will not be able to defend at all. You should shoot them completely from the mid-range. Don't tell me, you are right. Lack of confidence in my own shooting."

Li Ze noticed that Guigui was in a low mood, and immediately laughed and teased the other party. Everyone has ups and downs, not to mention that the three-person team of the Thunder team played almost full-time. At the end of the regular season, it is very difficult for the shooting to fluctuate. normal thing.

"We made 8 of 2 three-pointers in the first half, and our shooting percentage is not bad. Green, if there is an opportunity, continue to shoot. After I play in the second half, I will still pass the ball to you."

Durant watched the half-court game on the bench, and his heart was itchy for a long time. He noticed that Jeff Green was in a low mood, and he immediately gave him a reassurance. He had to pass the ball even if he hit the iron. By.

"Phew, I believe the touch will definitely recover in the second half!"

Guigui also adjusted his mentality. Since Li Ze joined the team, he has rarely played coldly, but he also felt that he should respond to the Pacers' defensive strategy.

Jeff Green also nodded. Anyway, this is not the first time this has happened. The outside line is empty, so he still has to throw
Coach Brooks did not overemphasize tactical arrangements in the midfield. This is the true level of the Thunder's perimeter. When Li Ze and Durant are on the court at the same time, the perimeter offense can be guaranteed.

So far, Durant has shot 40.3% from beyond the three-point line. Although it has dropped a bit from last season, this shooting rate is already scary.

Coupled with Li Ze's 38.6% three-point shooting percentage, it can be said that the Thunder has the most powerful perimeter combination in the league. More importantly, both of them are forwards, which will dominate the playoffs. Huge advantage.

"Okay, boys, in the second half we stick to the previous game plan and don't care about winning or losing a game. At this stage, the most important thing for us is to find the problem and solve it."

"After this game, we can return to Oklahoma City. Four consecutive home games are enough for us to take a good rest for a while."

"Oh!!"

After the start of the second half of the game, the Pacers continued to use the previous defensive strategy and completely let go of the Thunder's No. 4 position. The two big men completely squatted inside. The lesson learned from this article is that you cannot have both internal and external defense, and you can only give up one.

In the third quarter of the game, Li Ze did not attack frequently, but gave more possession of the ball to Durant and Guigui. Most of the time, he smoked in the bottom corner to open up the offensive space for his teammates.

Durant's ankle was slightly sprained, but this did not affect his game state. Facing Granger's defense, he made a cross-step breakthrough, suddenly dribbled the ball behind his right hand, and changed direction in front of his body twice in a row, completely swaying the defense , Stopped and shot a jumper.

"Shua" easily scored in the middle distance.

Coach Brooks was completely relieved to see that Durant's state is still brave.

In the second half, Roy Hibbert's mid-range shots also recovered, and he hit mid-range shots from the free throw line consecutively, so this style of play looks a bit soft, but if it can send the ball to the basket, it is a good shot. The audience also began to cheer for Hibbert's goal.

Under the leadership of the live DJ, the audience also cooperated to help the home team defend and shout:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!!"

Turtle and Krstic's high pick-and-roll, Troy Murphy didn't keep up, and Turtle didn't hesitate to shoot a mid-range jumper near the free throw line.

"Bang" continued to strike iron.

Seeing that the rebound was taken by Roy Burt, Guigui returned to the defense depressed. It was obviously a great opportunity, but the result was that he missed the shot.
Such continuous strikes have also become the epitome of the Thunder's offense in the second half. Except for Li Ze and Durant who are still playing steadily, the other teammates are a little sluggish, the offense is not going well, and the defensive end has also been affected. Sometimes there are omissions.

In the end, at 106:112, the Thunder team lost to the Pacers on the road. Li Ze made 16 of 14 in the game, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring a team-high 34 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 turnovers. Once again, he showed his terrifying outside firepower.

Although the game was lost, Coach Brooks was in a good mood, and the coaching staff also noticed that as the regular season drew to a close, Li Ze's condition was getting better and better, and he didn't see any physical problems at all. Not human.
Trainer Meno has long discovered that Li Ze's physical recovery ability is different from ordinary people. During physical therapy, he noticed that Li Ze didn't sweat too much after the game, so he could only complain secretly in his heart:
"Unscientific body, God is so unfair! Talented people can do whatever they want"

On March 3, everyone in the Thunder team who had just returned to Oklahoma City was going to face the San Antonio Spurs in the evening. The back-to-back away games made it difficult for everyone to cheer up.

Coach Popovich will naturally not let go of such an opportunity. The Thunder are currently 54 wins and 14 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference. For the 7th-placed Spurs, tonight is going to fight the local tyrants, divide the record, and stabilize the team. own ranking
The coaching staff of the Spurs are actually very satisfied with the current ranking, 41 wins and 27 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference. If this trend continues, they will face the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs.

Among the top 4 opponents, the Thunder is the youngest and has no playoff experience. If they want to pass the first round, the Thunder is indeed a good opponent.

Head coach Popovich also doesn't want to face veterans like the Lakers, Mavericks, and Suns. After all, young people are better at playing. After all, even the head coach is a rookie, so it's hard to find such an opponent.
Before the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, the head coach Popovich wrote and drew on the tactical board, and at the same time explained to his players:
"The opponent has played several away games in a row, and they are playing back-to-back games. Their physical fitness and concentration will decline. Tony, how to break the zone defense is up to you. What I need to emphasize is the position of the bottom line."

"Richard, you have to increase the off-the-ball cuts from the baseline. When Tim gets the ball in the high post, you and Antonio have to move, don't wait outside to catch the ball."

"Zone defense has weaknesses after all. Tony is responsible for controlling the rhythm of the field. George, you also need to make more shifts between the strong and weak sides. There will be vacancies on both wings. You have to seize these opportunities!"

Coach Popovich talked a lot in front of the whiteboard, and found that his players had no response, they were all staring at him, and suddenly he got angry and yelled:
"Give a Feedback! Guys!"

"Yes, sir!"

Popovich rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, it was all Tim Duncan's fault, which made everyone in the team stunned.

After the game started in the evening, Li Ze found that Manu Ginobili was defending him. Popovich actually changed the starting lineup and let Ginobili play the starting lineup.

Obviously, through the last match, the coaching staff of the Spurs also discovered that George Hill faced Li Ze basically for nothing. Both offensive and defensive ends were completely surrounded by Li Ze. Appeared directly in the starting lineup.

After the opening, Tony - Parker played his own aggressiveness, using Duncan's high cover, hit consecutive mid-range jumpers.

The state of the Thunder team is very average, perhaps affected by the back-to-back games. After Durant hit two consecutive irons in the opening game, he took the initiative to give up the ball to Li Ze. He felt that he had no touch in this game.

After Ginobili hit a three-pointer, the Thunder quickly sent the ball to the baseline. Just after halftime, the turtle passed the ball to Li Ze. Noticing Ginobili's defense, he seemed to put it completely on the right side. Li Ze immediately accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Ginobili's defense also caught up in an instant. During the march, Li Ze suddenly pulled back his crotch, paused slightly, pulled his left hand back, pretended to turn around, and after deceiving the defense, twisted his body and held the ball in his left hand Accelerate the breakthrough.

Before Duncan's help defense came up, the left hand hit the high board and shot.

"Shua" scored two points easily.

"Wow!!"

The audience in the Ford Center Arena all gasped in amazement. Li Ze's personal movements seemed simple, and there was really nothing to say about the viewing pleasure. This ball was equivalent to playing with the entire Spurs' defense.

When he was about to return to the defense, he noticed that Ginobili was still slightly in a daze, so he couldn't help but pat the veteran, and said with a smile:
"It is difficult for Argentina to win the World Cup, but Messi is indeed the best in the world!"

"Messi is great, but Maradona is the real king! We will win the championship this year."

As a die-hard fan of Maradona, Ginobili immediately retorted, seeing Li Ze's expression of disapproval, he immediately added another sentence:
"Argentina's striker is world-class, no one is our opponent!"

Tim Duncan noticed that his old teammate was still arguing with Li Ze, and immediately shouted:
"Manu, focus!"

Ginobili also thought of the serious appearance of Popovich's head coach before the game, and immediately restrained his thoughts. This game must take advantage of the Thunder's poor state to pursue the victory. Once the opponent finds its state, the outcome of the game will be hard to say .

In the rest of the first quarter, the Spurs showed their good tactical qualities, especially Manu Ginobili and Parker. They are no strangers to the zone defense, and they are able to organize the offense with ease. The defense was dismembered.

By the end of the first quarter, at 1:32, the away Spurs led by 25 points.

When Li Ze faced Ginobili's defense, he had to spend a lot of energy on offense. Although he still scored 1 points in the first quarter, the rest of the Thunder's offense was piecemeal, and Durant relied more on free throws to score.

The back-to-back games after consecutive away games really affected the state of all the players. After all, after everyone returned to Oklahoma City, they didn’t have time to go home and have a good rest. After a simple recovery training in the afternoon, the game started again in the evening.
In the next game, the Thunder's defense couldn't keep up with the Spurs' rhythm. A physical monster like Turtle also showed a tired look. At the end of the regular season, physical problems were gradually exposed.

Oklahoma City fans don't care about the outcome of the game. They just want to cheer for the home team. No matter what the score is, everyone gives 100% of their enthusiasm. Every time they score a goal, the audience cheers loudly .

Throughout the game, the Spurs firmly grasped the offensive rhythm. At 98:90, the Spurs won the game as they wished. Li Ze once again scored the highest score of the Thunder, with 28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 turnovers. The three-point shot is ironed, otherwise the score will easily exceed 30
After the game, Popovich took the initiative to find the head coach Brooks, showing a look of caring for the younger generation, and said kindly:

"Scott, you have achieved great things this season. Maybe we will meet in the first round of the playoffs. To be honest, among the top 4 teams, I don't want to play against the Thunder. Your outside talent is really amazing. Excellent!"

"The regular season record doesn't mean anything. The Spurs are a championship team. You are also a championship coach. I still have a lot to learn. If we really meet in the first round, I hope we can give the fans a wonderful performance." Contest."

Coach Brooks also behaved very decently, with the appearance of a humble junior, and began to exchange business with Popovich
The Thunder team, which lost this game, still maintains the second position in the Western Conference, with 54 wins and 15 losses, and has already locked in the playoffs in advance. When the audience at the Ford Center heard the news announced by the live DJ, all Excited wah wah yelling:
"what!!"

"OKC!! OKC!! OKC!!"

Li Ze and his teammates also started waving to the audience. From a team with 23 wins to a team with 54 wins to secure a place in the playoffs ahead of schedule, the Thunder has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the fans at the scene were all screaming To vent the excitement in my heart.

Feeling the fiery atmosphere at the scene, Li Ze felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart:

"After all, I still helped this team. In the playoffs, we will definitely go further!"

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean has actually been waiting for the news that the Thunder team has locked in the playoffs. The fans are waiting, and many media reporters are also waiting. After Dayao, finally there are compatriots of their own who can stand in the NBA playoffs The stage of the game is up!
After the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, they learned that the Thunder had secured their place in the playoffs ahead of schedule, and all the fans on the Hupu forum were immediately elated.

"Li Zeniu X! The second place in the Western Conference, locked in the playoffs in advance, maybe this year can directly enter the Western Conference finals, the Thunder champion!"

"It's been a fantastic season. Last season, the Thunder only won 23 wins. As a result, after Li Ze joined, they directly became the second place in the Western Conference. If the Lakers lose, they may even have a chance to win the first place in the Western Conference!"

"Brothers, who knows how Li Ze practiced, I have been studying Li Ze's style of play, why the same moves, I did not have any effect at all, I have become a die-hard Thunder fan! "

"Brother upstairs, just like what Ma Jian said, because you don't have a threat from the outside at all, and besides, your weak side is no match for Li Ze, so don't say anything, Thunder champion!"

"It's a pity that there are too many strong teams in the Western Conference. The Thunder may face the Spurs in the first round. The GDP combination is not easy to play!"

"Duncan is old, and he will definitely not be able to withstand the Thunder's outside impact. I am still optimistic that the Thunder can break through the first round and reach the Western Conference Finals, and then beat Kobe by the way!"

"Let's start the playoffs now, I can't wait! It's okay to play against the Spurs in the first round. In the last match, Li Ze scored 46 points. I believe the Spurs' defense can't restrain Li Ze at all."

"Brothers, this season's NBA MVP selection has an extra fan voting session, everyone follow me! I will post a post in a while and send the tutorial directly to everyone, everyone votes enthusiastically!"

"Hurry up, whether it's useful or not, everyone votes! What if you really win the MVP!"

"Hehe, the MVP of the regular season must belong to me, Zhan. This kind of voting is useless. I, Zhan, are the face of this league."

"Jamie get the hell out of here. How dare you talk about the league without a championship? Let's break through the Eastern Conference this season first!"

After Li Ze returned to his home in Oklahoma City, he simply washed up and saw a pile of unread messages on his phone. He felt very helpless. This was also the trouble of the superficial brothers. Of course, he had to respond to the blessing messages one by one.
After replying to all the messages, it was midnight. Li Ze shook his sore fingers, feeling powerless to complain:

"When will there be a voice input method! Typing is too painful"

In the dream training space, Li Ze once again saw the upgrade prompt appearing on the achievement room, and was immediately surprised. He immediately entered the achievement room, looked at the newly upgraded silver badge in front of him, and stepped forward to touch it lightly:
Achievement Badge [Bronze Wall and Iron Wall]: 3/500
Reduce the possibility of being bypassed and dodged by the attacker, and quickly consume the opponent's physical strength when physical contact occurs.

After the upgrade of the dual-attribute badge, the attribute has not changed, but the bonus effect will definitely be greatly improved. Li Ze was a little amazed at the upgrade speed of this badge.

But after thinking about it, after all, the defensive badge is used all the time in every game, and the badge experience naturally increases a lot.

Except for [Circus Three Points], all the badges have been upgraded to silver. Li Ze thought about it and decided that it was time to determine his core style of play in the playoffs.

[Hot Zone Hunter] This badge is the biggest bonus to Li Ze!It can directly increase the hit rate of shots in good positions.

Although the currently unlocked shooting hotspots for Li Ze are only the arc top of the three-point line, 45 degrees to the left of the three-point line, the left elbow area of ​​the free throw line, the left block area of ​​the paint area, the left near bottom corner, and the right three-point line. There are a few bottom corners, but they are basically enough in the game.

Coupled with the shooting bonuses of [Rhythm Shooter], [Difficult Shooting King], and [Strong Shooting Master], the shooting percentage in the left half should be close to 5%. rate may be lower.
Li Ze looked at the other badges again, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind:
"I should be regarded as the youth version of Michael Jordan in the left half!"
