The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 157 Tangled Choices (9000 word chapter)
On March 3, Coach Brooks gave the Thunder a day off. There are 29 games left in the regular season, but the subsequent schedule is very unfriendly to the Thunder.

At the end of March, they will have a back-to-back away game. When entering April, the Thunder will have three back-to-back games.

With all the teams in the Western Conference making a lot of money, they still have to play against playoff teams such as the Mavericks, Suns, Jazz, Nuggets, and Trail Blazers. When the coaching staff thought of such a schedule, they almost scolded their mothers!

Coach Brooks is even more prepared to lose. The Thunder are ranked second in the Western Conference and are five games ahead of the third-placed Mavericks. Even if they lose these games, the ranking should not change much. , after all, there are still 3 welfare abuse games.

After the Lakers returned to No. [-] in the Western Conference, the record had to give way to health, and the coaching staff also prepared to appropriately reduce the playing time of Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant, and began to prepare for the playoffs.

After the All-Star Game, the Thunder continued to insist on defensive training. The frequent videotapes and training sessions also made Li Ze mentally exhausted. During the rare rest time, he planned to lie down at home and not go anywhere
"bell bell"

After breakfast, Li Zezheng was surfing the Internet while Ge You was lying down. He frowned when he heard the phone ringing. Seeing Guigui's name on the caller ID, he had no choice but to pick up the phone:
"What's the matter, Russell, don't say that you have to practice three-pointers again, don't rush to practice, this matter will be discussed in the offseason!"

"No, Kayce, Nina is going to have a baking party, come over for snacks at night, remember to dress stylishly!"

Li Ze rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, thinking that Guigui had already entered into the fashion industry, and his clothes were getting outrageous, he couldn't help complaining:
"I really can't wear your mix-and-match outfit! Don't worry, I promise to dress up carefully and see you at night."

Just as he put down the phone, the ringtone rang again. Seeing that it was Annie, Li Ze adjusted his mood immediately and answered again:
"Kayce, I confirmed with Chapman that Big Machine Records should make a lot of money next year, so the plan is proceeding as normal, and next year we will start preparing for the acquisition of SkinMedica."

"No problem, maybe Keds will start to make a profit this year, so our funds will be more, have you become Beth's secretary? I really envy Beth's life, I have you by my side every day, I miss you so much , Anne!"

On the other end of the phone, Annie curled her lips at Beth and Britney, as if to say that scumbags are like this. Li Ze was a little embarrassed when he heard the girls' laughter, and revealed his secrets.
"Take care of yourself! We don't have time to flirt with you recently. Being able to participate in such an acquisition with a capital of over [-] million yuan is a rare learning opportunity. Remember to avoid some parties, that's it, bye!"

Seeing Anne hang up the phone decisively, Beth joked:

"Do you really not care about Kayce? You haven't seen each other for a long time, don't be embarrassed, we can actually avoid it."

"They often make video calls, I know that, don't look at Annie's serious face now, every time she and Kayce video, she is very happy, smiling like a flower!"

Annie saw that Britney had exposed herself, and immediately said angrily:
"Then who is it who is desperately acting like a baby every time you call? I have a recording here, how about we enjoy it together?"

"You hateful big-breasted woman, invade my privacy! Make it up to me, you must sleep with me tonight!"

Britney didn't want Beth to hear her coquettish voices, so she immediately changed the subject and rushed towards Annie.

Seeing the two girls writhing together on the sofa, Beth suddenly said helplessly:
"Okay, girls, we still have a lot of work to do, Annie, remember to contact your mentor, let's have a meal together when you have time, I need to express my thanks in person!"

"No problem, the tutor should come to London in a few days!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ze let out a sigh of relief. For the future big plans, he has to work hard to make money in the past few years. He doesn't want to just be an ordinary basketball player and live a new life. If he can't control his own destiny, it will be a failure.

"bell bell"

"Shet! I just want to lie down and surf the Internet, why are there so many calls!"

Li Ze cursed secretly, and saw Rick's name displayed on the caller ID, so he had no choice but to answer the phone:

"It's unbelievable, Kayce, how did you think about the direction of foam materials before? We have reached a preliminary intention with Dow Chemical. The other party really has the technical reserves for TPU foaming. We need more tests in the future."

"Of course, we also need to avoid the issue of patents. Dow Chemical believes that bypassing patents is not a big issue. I don't know what stage Adidas, PUMA and BASF have reached in their research and development, but this is definitely a revolutionary material!"

"Maybe we can also launch professional running shoes and completely enrich the product line. I can assure you that as long as we move fast enough, we will have a place in the running shoe market."

Hearing Rick's excited voice on the phone, Li Ze heaved a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't remember which brand would cooperate with Dow Chemical in the future, his potential memory information did not disappoint him.

"This is really good news, Rick, what we have to do now is to polish a classic product, and at the same time, keep an eye on Adidas and their movements, well, don't forget my signature sneakers, don't think about mass production, I will Is the best tester."

"Don't worry, this is really a great opportunity, I will seize it, Keds will rise again!"

Li Ze hung up the phone, feeling that the green knife was already waving to him, and immediately continued to surf the Internet in a happy mood, but when he saw the Thunder team forum on Reddit, his good mood was instantly destroyed.

"Poor Thunder, only one day at No. [-] in the West."

"As long as the Lakers are still in the West, no one can surpass us. Maybe when Kobe retires, Thunder fans can realize their wishes!"

"Let the kids have a good time in the regular season, as long as it comes to the playoffs, Kobe will tear them apart, just like in the last game, Durant relied on free throws under Artest's defense to get After scoring 26 points, he won't be treated like that in the playoffs."

"Lee is good, but he hasn't experienced the playoffs. Kobe will definitely destroy him in the matchup process. Regular season? That's just a game for Kobe to find his status."

Li Ze saw that the Thunder board was filled with a lot of posts from Lakers fans, and the small flames in his heart sprang up. He finally saw what it means to be top class
After winning a game with the Lakers, a bunch of Lakers complained about the referee's whistle problem, Durant made too many free throws, what else is not Kobe's fault, and the comments that it's all because his teammates can't make outside shots are also flocking out !

But Li Ze never expected that after the Thunder team lost to the Trail Blazers, there would be so many taunts from the Lakers. There were also a lot of people on Facebook and Twitter, and the noble Lakers fans launched their own remarks offensive.

However, in the Thunder team section, there is also a sharp-tongued Thunder fan who is fighting back, ID: Easymoney
"Kobe is so strong in the playoffs? Then why did he lose to the Celtics in 08?"

"Without O'Neal, look for Gasol. Without a star big man, he can't play well. KD is much better than him. He led a rookie team to the second place in the Western Conference!"

"Playoff experience? Come on man, experience is never a problem for a player with great talent, KD will blow everyone up, he's the best."

Li Ze always felt that this ID looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't remember who it was. However, seeing the opponent's sharp counterattack, Li Ze also became interested. He felt that he was going to enter the Land Key Immortal again today.

"Come on! I won't go anywhere during the day, I have to show you what a real keyboard man is!"

On March 3th, the Thunder will fly to Philadelphia. They will challenge the 30ers away. After this game, they will immediately fly non-stop to Boston to fight back to back to challenge the Celtics.

After arriving in Philadelphia, Li Ze was taken to his home in Philadelphia by his good brother Zhu Holiday. Seeing the other party's messy room, he asked curiously:

"Doesn't Lauren live with you? Why is the room so messy?"

"Because Lauren went to the training camp, she is really going to be selected for the national team, women's football, to be honest, before I dated her, no one around me cared about football except you."

Holiday simply tidied up the room, and casually complained.

"Football is very interesting! You should pay more attention to it. I recommend you to watch Manchester United. Please watch the game live or you can ask me for a ticket. I will arrange for you to go to the VIP box. What do you have for lunch? Don't tell me you ordered takeaway."

"Let's eat grass together. I've run out of cheat meals this month. I have to say that controlling my diet has really helped me a lot. I have hardly encountered the rookie wall, and I have been in good shape."

"But I found that many players don't care about their eating habits at all. You know, Kayce, Derry Cross is a candy bear lover. In the previous game against the Bulls, this guy actually ate candy during the game!"

Li Ze was slightly taken aback when he heard Holiday's words. He really didn't know that Rose still had this habit. After all, he didn't play many games against Eastern teams, and the outside media would not report them.

However, the gossip among players is very credible. It seems that NBA players generally like to eat sweets
"OK, let's eat grass. Anyway, I went to Russell's house last night and ate a bunch of donuts, cream cookies, and chocolate mousse. The baking party is really unforgettable!"

When Holiday heard Li Ze's words, he felt his stomach start to squirm, rubbed his stomach, and then said helplessly:

"Sometimes being an NBA player is very painful. I will never touch those high-calorie foods. I don't want to be like Allen Iverson at the end of my career."

"Haha, congratulations on taking back the starting position again. It seems that Iverson is really dying."

Li Ze is also happy for his good brother. The play of wandering home is over, and Holiday has returned to the starting lineup again.

"Yes, he has gotten a little fat, and it will be difficult to continue playing in the league in the future. Unfortunately, the 76ers were eliminated early this season. I really want to play in the playoffs once. I will go to Oklahoma City to cheer for you!"

The 76ers currently have 26 wins and 47 losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference. After coaching this season, the head coach Eddie Jordan may leave get out of class. Put the pot back on your back.

With 10 games left in the regular season, the 76ers who fished early are just playing routinely for tonight's game. The audience in the Wachovia Center Stadium is also not in high spirits. After the start of the first quarter, it was one-sided situation.

Especially when Li Ze and Durant hit two three-pointers respectively, the Thunder's score went up.
Andre Iguodala felt a little helpless when he saw this situation. As long as the Thunder cooperated with several screens in a row, there would be open opportunities. His teammates were paper tigers in defense, and everyone’s thoughts were no longer on the game. .

The most serious player in the game is still Zhu Holiday. No matter facing Li Ze or Guigui, he will do his best to defend, but it is a pity that relying on him and Iguodala alone cannot change the situation on the field too much. The Thunder's outside line with the ball is terrible.

In the end, at 111:93, the Thunder easily defeated the 76ers in the away game. Many fans had left the field early, and the one-sided game was nothing to watch.

Li Ze scored 20 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 3 steals in the three quarters, which also showed the 76 team's playing attitude. After all, Li Ze's defense was mostly to establish a defensive position, and it was not easy to start.

Coupled with Durant's 30 points and Turtle's 20 points, the trio combined to score 70 points again, making a good start for the road trip.

It's just that everyone in the Thunder team was not happy after the game. Thinking about the back-to-back games in the future, they suddenly felt scalp tingling. Fortunately, the leaders won more games, so they don't have to worry about the playoffs, otherwise the Thunder team will definitely lose in the end. chain.
"In April, we have to play 4 games in 11 days. This schedule is a piece of shit!"

Durant's physical fitness had some minor problems at the end of the season. Although the record is not worrying, Durant is still very dissatisfied with the continuous back-to-back games.

"Fortunately, we were ahead enough before that we didn't have to participate in the competition with other teams. The teams in the East are really happy, and the competition is far worse than that in the West."

Turtle is still thinking about Derry Cross' Bulls, especially when he sees that the opponent is really going to make it to the playoffs with a record of about 40 wins. Playoffs
"The Lakers should also increase their rotation. I remember they also had games between the Spurs and the Nuggets, but the overall schedule is much friendlier than ours."

Jeff Green has had enough of back-to-back games. His state is unpredictable. As long as he has consecutive away games, he is almost stable.

"It seems that the first record in the league should be won by the Cavaliers, and the time for the MVP awards is coming!"

Of course, Li Ze noticed that the Cavaliers only have two tough games to fight in April, the Celtics and the Magic. According to this trend, as long as they are stable, the Cavaliers can get the first record in the league.

Durant naturally also heard Li Ze's words, and felt a little depressed. The coaching staff has informed him that the next game will increase the rotation, and the team no longer pursues victory. This makes it difficult for the Thunder to surpass the Cavaliers. The MVP has a high probability Gone.
"If I were in the Eastern Conference team, it would definitely be easier to get the honor than now!"

On March 3, after a brief rest, the Thunder flew to Boston again. Head coach Brooks was ready to lose. He wanted to double-kill the Celtics this season, which was not an easy task.

Coach Doug Reeves is in a good mood recently. The conflicts between Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo have been reconciled, and the team is on the right track. The Big Three are all healthy. He thinks the team has a chance to score this year. finals.

The status of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett next season is unknown, and the best thing to do is to grasp the present moment.

The Celtics currently have 47 wins and 26 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference. Rivers thinks this ranking is very good. They have home court advantage in the first round. Even if the playoffs are slow, there is still room for adjustment.

As long as the first round is passed and the team enters the playoffs, he believes that none of these teams in the East can stop the Big Three. Rivers has already begun to imagine his opponents in the finals.

"Doug, are there any special defensive arrangements for this game? Although the Thunder are fighting back to back, we should also pay attention to it!"

Assistant coach Tom Thibodeau couldn't help reminding him when he saw Rivers's wandering appearance.

"Tom, I don't worry about your work! I'm in charge of the team's direction, specific defensive details, and tactical arrangements. You have the final say! Let it go, buddy!"

Rivers feels that as a champion coach, he should properly delegate power to the assistant coaches. After all, what he is best at is uniting the team, and the details will naturally be handed over to the assistants.

"Okay, but I still want to remind you that about Ray Allen's contract extension, Angie has never had a definite statement. You can talk to him."

Rivers frowned when he heard Thibodeau's reminder, but he didn't have much to do about the contract issue. Chicken soup can't be spent as a dollar, and Ray Allen won't give him face if the money is not in place.

"I see. It seems that our championship window is not long. Tom, we have to prepare for the Lakers' tactical analysis class in advance. I have a hunch that we will meet them in this year's finals."

Thibodeau felt a little helpless when he heard Rivers' instructions. Who is the head coach?Every defensive training class and tactical analysis class takes him a lot of time, Rivers just moves his mouth, but he has to run and break his legs.
"Perhaps, in summer, I can leave here!"

The North Shore Garden Arena was particularly well attended tonight, and the Celtics set the game as a battle of revenge before the game.

The last time the two teams played against each other, the Celtics missed key shots in a row at the last moment, and finally lost the game. In tonight's game, they must win back. No one can double-kill them in the season.

When the home DJ finished introducing the team to play, the two sides started the final warm-up. Hearing the noisy voice in his ears, Li Ze couldn't help but said to Durant beside him:

"Did they have such hostility towards the Thunder last year? Compared with the Oklahoma City fans, the audience at the North Shore Garden Arena is of poor quality!"

"Last year, the Thunder was an underwhelming team. Of course, no one would care about us. As for the quality issue you mentioned, Boston is like this. You will get used to it after a few more visits."

Durant had a normal expression, and the turtle on the side heard the conversation between the two, and said:
"In comparison, playing in Los Angeles is the best. Of course, I like Oklahoma City the most now. Our fans are definitely the best in the league!"

Li Ze glanced at Guigui. He didn't expect you to still miss the hometown basketball. Thinking of those superior Lakers fans, Li Ze didn't think going to the Lakers would be a good choice.

The game is about to start, and the head coach Brooks gave a brief instruction to his players on the sidelines:
"If there is a problem with physical fitness, raise your hand immediately, pay attention to your movements, and keep fit. Winning or losing is not important to us. I hope that no one will appear on the injured list in April."

Although Li Ze felt that the coaching staff was too conservative, he could understand Coach Brooks' decision. The rookie coach must be under a lot of pressure at this time. The team's record in the regular season is so good. If the first round is eliminated, the Oklahoma City fans will definitely not be satisfied. You might lose your job right away.
"Tonight will be our revenge battle. We don't care about the second place in the West. This is the North Shore Garden Arena. This is the grave of the away team. Tonight we will win!"

"Oh! Kevin Garnett jumped to the ball for us with his excellent bounce! Clean offense, Pierce made a jumper from the outside!"

For the Thunder's 32 zone defense, the Celtics are naturally fully prepared. They used Kevin Garnett's low threat to force Durant's defense to retract. As a result, Pierce on the outside got three chance to score.

Pierce received a pass from Garnett, made no adjustments, and immediately shot a jumper.

"Shua" three-pointer hollow into the net.

After scoring the goal, Paul Pierce beat his chest angrily, and at the same time pointed to the sky with one hand, successfully entering the pretend X mode.

Li Ze was speechless after watching this set of actions. He was influenced by his previous life. In his opinion, Paul Pierce is just a walking emoji, which is a bit funny no matter how you look at it
The Thunder attacked. Durant received the ball at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line through Jeff Green and Krstic's double screen. Garnett's defense was very fast and he immediately switched to Durant.

When Durant broke through with a cross step, Garnett pulled it covertly and kept his defensive position all the time. When Durant made a sudden stop and made a jump shot, Garnett's defense also kept up in time, interfering with this time attack.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

After hitting the iron, Durant made a pulling gesture to the linesman while returning to defense, indicating that Garnett pulled him when he started, but the referee didn't say anything, and the game continued.

And Li Ze has already discovered this phenomenon. You must know that in the middle of the season, Durant averaged 13 free throws per game in the Golden Wheel Fawang mode, but now the number of free throws has dropped to about 9.

Although the league canceled the hand check, as the playoffs approached, the referee's whistle-blowing scale began to become looser. Just like the old Dunleavy reminded him, you must play smart and always pay attention to the referee's whistle-blowing scale.

Unlike the basketball of the future, these days, the referees pay close attention to moving screens, and Ibaka has been troubled by this for a long time, but for hand checks, the referee's scale has become more free.

So when the playoffs were approaching, Li Ze began to increase his post-up singles, reduced the face-up attack of receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, and followed the referee, anyway, he could always find a suitable offensive method.

Rajon Rondo dribbled the ball for half the court, and noticed that the tortoise let him go a big step. Even if he was defending the zone defense, such a distance was a bit insulting, but Rondo didn't fight indiscriminately. Handed the ball to Garnett who was on the free throw line, and ran silently.

Garnett noticed that the Thunder did not choose to pinch himself. Facing Jeff Green's defense, after a feint, he took a big step with the ball in his right hand, then quickly turned around to join the ball, turned over and shot a jumper.

"Shua" also scored steadily in the middle distance.

The Thunder quickly sent out the baseline ball, and when the turtle dribbled halfway through, Li Ze had already successfully positioned himself in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

During the march, he suddenly changed the direction of his crotch, pulled his right hand back, quickly joined the ball, turned around and shot a jumper.

"Shua" two-pointer hollow into the net.

Facing Ray Allen's defense, Li Ze's height and weight have an advantage, and in the left half, Li Ze even added a bunch of buffs!

[Hot Zone Hunter] + [Three-Threat Veteran] + [First Step Master] + [Rhythm Shooter] + [Difficult Shooting King] + [Lean Back King] + [Strong Shooting Master], these badges are added , the hit rate is strongly guaranteed.

And all technical moves have the bonus of [Dribbling Skill] + [Ball Handling Master] + [Ball Protection Master], with Li Zeheng's left and right hands, it is naturally difficult for Ray Allen to defend.
"Nice technical moves, glad to see some rookies pick up the post-up technique!"

Although Lei Allen was shot by Li Ze, his attitude was very good, and he even praised Li Ze.

"I just want to make myself more comprehensive, the atmosphere at your home court is really bad!"

"Shhh" "Goal for shit!" "He walked! Referee!"

Li Ze shrugged to Ray Allen, indicating that the home audience was a little too excited, and then turned back to defend.

It was the first time he came to the North Shore Garden Arena. Li Ze’s playing experience was not good. Maybe it was because of his skin color. In Boston, he didn’t have many fans. Only a few foreign students came to the scene to cheer for him.

The game was uneventful. With 1 minutes and 3 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze was replaced by coach Brooks to rest. At the end of the regular season, Sefolosha's playing time also began to increase.

Out of caution, the coaching staff began to consciously reduce his playing time, which made the Thunder's offensive space on the court become somewhat constipated.
Durant's feeling is the most obvious. When he catches the ball in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, he will be interfered by Ray Allen's defense from time to time. If Li Ze is on the court, this is almost impossible to happen.

Facing Paul Pierce's defense, Durant released the ball quickly after three threats, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and went straight to the penalty area. Under Garnett's sweeping defense, he made a deft shot.

"Shua" scored two points from the basket.

After scoring the goal, Durant felt a little tangled in his heart. He became more and more used to playing with Li Ze as a partner. Both of them have excellent athletic ability and shooting ability. Being on the court at the same time can well avoid double-teaming.

"Kayce, if only you could help me with peace of mind."

Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, naturally didn't know what Durant was thinking. He was interacting with the fans on the sidelines at this time. A few foreign student girls must have come to watch him play on purpose and bought tickets for the front row. , sitting behind the Thunder bench.

"Li Ze! Li Ze! Here! Here!"

Li Ze saw behind him a handsome girl with glasses and long black hair who was desperately greeting him, and immediately waved to him, sending out a Wink by the way.

"Ah!! I'm falling in love!!"

The short-haired girlfriend on the side saw her friend screaming excitedly, couldn't help but give her a blank look, pulled him back to the seat, and whispered in his ear at the same time:
"Reserve a little! Didn't you find that the audience around you didn't welcome Li Ze?"

The delicate-looking long-haired girl realized that her reckless behavior seemed to have aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding audience, so she sat down helplessly and muttered in a low voice:

"It's just watching a game. As for such a big hostility? Li Ze is so handsome."

Ibaka, who was on the bench, noticed the situation here, and immediately showed envious eyes. Every time he went to an away game, he could find Li Ze's fans, and his popularity exploded!
"What's the matter, Serge, it's your turn to play in a while. If you improve your shooting stability next season, the statistics will definitely not be bad!"

Seeing Ibaka staring blankly at him, Li Ze thought that the other party was not used to the atmosphere of the scene, so he immediately comforted him.

"I know! This is completely different from the Spanish league. The NBA is more confrontational. During the offseason, I will practice shooting."

Ibaka also immediately responded to Li Ze. At the end of the regular season, he really vomited a lot of cakes, but whenever an opportunity arises, Li Ze will still pass the ball to him. Of course he is very grateful for this.

Li Ze also looked like a boss, patted Ibaka on the shoulder, and said encouragingly:

"Come on! Try to get a DPOY next season!"

While Li Ze was chatting with his teammates, the first quarter ended. At 1:25, the Thunder trailed by 32 points in the first quarter.

In the following games, the Celtics played more and more fiercely. Coach Brooks did not struggle and began to rotate on a large scale. Anyway, losing this game did not affect the Thunder's ranking.

In the end, at 98:109, the Celtics succeeded in revenge at home. This was Li Ze’s least playing time. He only played 26 minutes. It can be said that he played in two and a half quarters and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

This can be regarded as back-to-back games, the coaching staff took special care of him.
After the game, Rivers took the initiative to find Brooks, and actively exchanged business ideas;
"Scott, I'm already looking forward to our meeting in the finals. I think you can kill the Lakers! You have played so well this season. You can achieve such results. The league should definitely award you the best coach award !"

"There are too many seniors who are better than me. I'm just lucky. I wish you all the best. Doug, I still have a lot to learn from you!"

After Li Ze briefly high-fived the Celtics players, he noticed two chattering girls on the sidelines.

"Are you going to school in Boston? The tickets for the front row are not cheap. Next time I will ask for a few tickets for you, so you don't have to spend money."

Seeing Li Ze really standing in front of him, the delicate-looking long-haired girl became a little shy, and the short-haired best friend on the side said generously:
"We study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the entrance fee is still affordable. Mu Qianqian is a little rich woman, Zeng Yajing, nice to meet you!"

Before Li Ze could react, the short-haired girl Zeng Yajing immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Ze's arm, then excitedly shouted to her best friend:
"Hurry up, hurry up! Take a photo for us, haha, I want to envy the little sisters in the dead discussion group!"

"Hey!! We agreed to take a photo together, you let go first!"

Lizeton didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he hurriedly greeted the staff of the Thunder team and asked him to help take pictures, and at the same time comforted the two girls:
"Just take a photo together. By the way, you can also add me to the discussion group. In fact, I also often read Facebook messages!"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, the delicate-looking Mu Qianqian suddenly regained her spirits, and Li Ze seriously suspected that the other party was an Internet addicted girl
"Huh? Really? That's great. We don't have a lot of discussion groups, less than 100 people, but everyone is your fan, most of them are your fans, and they're all from Boston. International students, we also have regular activities”

"Okay, we can chat online later, let's take pictures first!"

Li Ze always feels that the style of painting is wrong, but he has already agreed to the other party, and it is not easy to go back on his word. Looking at the two smiling like flowers, Li Ze smiled on the surface, but muttered in his heart:

"It won't develop into one fan and ten blacks in the future. You are not allowed to call our giegie"

The March schedule is completely over, and everyone in the Thunder team can also return to Oklahoma City to take a good rest. After that, there will be consecutive back-to-back games to be played. Coach Brooks has also begun to estimate which games can be given up.

"The Mavericks are two games ahead of the Suns. In theory, we can fight for the away game on April 4. The Lakers also lost recently. We are only one game away from the first place."

"I don't think we need to consider the issue of the first place in the Western Conference. After that, there will be two consecutive back-to-back games between the Jazz and the Nuggets. If we don't want to waste the energy of the players, we need to give up a game."

"But if we get No. [-] in the Western Conference, we can play against the Trail Blazers in the first round. We should work hard!"

"There is no problem playing against the Spurs. We should believe in our outside strength. At this stage, health is the most important thing. As long as the main players are healthy, we will definitely pass the first round."

"Scott, what is your point of view? We will face the Jazz, Nuggets, and Suns in a row. If we really want to give up these games, we should make a decision early."

Brooks looked at the noisy coaching staff in the office, and rubbed his brows in confusion. Should he fight for the first place, or give up the game and stay second, thinking that the competition for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places was almost fierce, and he thought about it. Making up his mind, he opened his mouth and said:
"We will continue to shorten the playing time of the main players according to the original plan. Finishing the regular season healthily is our top priority. As for the opponents in the first round, let's start to make a game plan now. The Spurs are not terrible. "

The members of the coaching staff looked at each other, and then spoke.

"Well, Scott, we also believe in your decision. Our lads are all big-time players, and we won't be able to stop them in the first round!"

Coach Brooks looked relaxed on the surface, but secretly thought in his heart:
"Hope it wasn't a bad choice"
