The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 413 The Dark Matter Version of Li Ze (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)
On August 2016, 8, the Rio Olympics did not attract the attention of Oklahoma City fans.

With Durant's departure, more and more ball critics began to think that the Thunder will be bad in the new season and sold to other cities.

There are no star players, no big broadcast contracts, and after winning two championships, the team seems to be disintegrating this year.

The accidental car accident of the major shareholder became the fuse of the relocation incident. After owning the championship, the pursuit of maximizing profits is the idea of ​​most shareholders.

Under such circumstances, on the morning of the 5th, in the press conference hall of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, Presti took Turtle to the press conference and officially announced that the two parties had reached an early contract renewal agreement!
Without Li Ze, without Durant, only Ibaka and old captain Nick Collison remained in the winning lineup that year.

At the press conference, Turtle looked very calm, and faced the media in the audience, he even said something that made the eyes of Oklahoma City fans blush:

"Loyalty is my first choice!"

After the press conference ended, Oklahoma City fans were boiling, the sky was blue, and Westbrook was all outside the window.

The team's only superstar is left behind. As long as next season's results are passable, the Thunder will not leave Oklahoma City.

Even if Durant kills all directions in the Olympics, Oklahoma City fans will no longer pay attention to him, and Turtle has become a city hero!

With the Olympics underway, Lakers fans are sour again.

In mid-July, the team signed Mozgov for 7 million in 4 years. The fans of the Lakers happily discussed how the big center could perform in the new season. As a result, Jokic played harder and harder, and everyone was in a bad mood. beautiful.

Without Kobe, talented players have joined the team for two consecutive years. Lakers fans have great hopes for the new season, but the Clippers are invincible no matter how you look at it.

What makes the Lakers in the same city feel helpless most is that the Clippers have a strong lineup and their salary is not high!

Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure that the team's cap space can be used effectively, some upside is usually allowed.

The operation of the Clippers is even at the textbook level. Li Ze's salary will increase next year, and Paul George will enter the contract year after 2 years.

As the league's salary cap continues to rise, the Clippers will definitely pay a luxury tax in the future, but the amount will not be too high.

Even if Jokic is famous, the Clippers can calmly give a big contract. Only when Jaylen Brown also plays at a superstar level in the future, the maximum salary contract will make the Clippers' salary explode.

It can be expected that in the next 2 to 3 years, the Clippers will not have to worry about the super luxury tax, that is to say, the championship window is still there!

Similar to the situation of Lakers fans, Cleveland fans are also looking forward to LeBron James' contract extension every day.

Immediately after the Finals, the Cavaliers officially announced that they intend to provide LeBron James with a five-year, $5 million maximum salary contract.

The Cavaliers' role players were also poached by other teams in the East. The Bucks offered Dellavedova a four-year $4 million contract and poached the team's backup point guard.

In order to continue to retain LeBron James, the Cavaliers gave JR-Smith a 4-year $5700 million contract!
Perhaps feeling the expectations of Cleveland fans, LeBron James finally did not choose a long-term contract, but renewed his contract with a three-year $1 million contract, of which the third year is a player option.

On August 8th, the Cavaliers officially announced that the Chosen One will stay in Cleveland next season. The fans were all excited, and hometown basketball is still going on!
In the press conference, LeBron James appeared to have recovered from the loss.

The most common question on the scene is how the Cavaliers will hit the championship next season. Thinking of this question, LeBron James is a little bit defensive.
The lineups of the Warriors and Clippers are too outrageous. James even wants to report the violations of the two teams. Is there any reason?
"There will be some new faces in the team in the new season. We still need to continue to run the lineup. Regardless of the opponent, I believe the Cavaliers still have a chance to win the championship!"

"You know, there's always extra motivation to play for hometown, and I'm ready! The Cavaliers will come back!"

LeBron James' confident answer, but the sports media on the scene didn't buy it. Leaving aside the Clippers, how can the Cavaliers match up to the Warriors' lineup?

73 wins is not a joke. Even if the Warriors are a regular season team, on the surface, they are far superior to the Cavaliers.

"LeBron, what do you think of the current lineup of the Clippers and Warriors, do the Cavaliers still have a chance to compete?"

TNT reporter which pot does not open which pot to mention, LeBron James is not in a good mood when he hears such a question:

"Basketball belongs to five people. You can't win a championship by stacking star players. As for the strength of the opponent, you can only draw a definite conclusion after the fight."

Hearing such an answer, the sports media at the scene all looked strange.

Judging from past experience, the Heat and Cavaliers who are stacked with stars did not win the championship, but on the contrary, the Thunder and Clippers relied on their star abilities to win two consecutive championships and one four consecutive championships.
Seemingly aware of the embarrassment of his answer, LeBron James stopped talking, but cursed secretly in his heart:
"Damn superteam!"

On August 8, the Tianchao men's basketball team ended the match with the Spanish team, and Li Ze also started the fishing mode.

In this Olympics, the Tianchao men's basketball team scored very stable. Li Ze averaged 33.8 points per game, and Arab League averaged 21.6 points per game. Together, they can contribute 50+ points in each game.

But as the game went on, the rotation became shorter and shorter. Obviously there would be many opportunities to double-team Li Ze, but he couldn't get in from the outside.

This is also the current embarrassment of the Tianchao men's basketball team. Under high-intensity confrontation, after several consecutive rounds, it will bring a huge load to the heart and lungs.

Not every player can maintain accurate outside shooting in high-intensity confrontation.

Just like in this year's playoffs, the Warriors and Cavaliers only had one or two three-pointers, and the Clippers also frequently scored 24 of 7.
Head coach Gong Luming found out in embarrassment that Li Ze and Ah Lian's three-pointers were the most accurate. The team's outside shooting level was not even as good as that of a big player like Ah Lian.

Obviously, the team's performance can be greatly improved with only one short breath, but unfortunately, once the opponent double-teams wildly, the Tianchao men's basketball team will easily stop.

This kind of gap with the top teams cannot be equalized overnight. To win the group stage against France and Serbia is already in the sky.

On the night of August 8, the Amerika team finally easily defeated the Serbian team. Durant made a big hit and easily scored 21 points in a single game.

The Rio Olympics has officially come to an end, but for Chinese fans, the closing ceremony is not important!
After going through the familiar scoring link, the Tianchao men's basketball team finally achieved a breakthrough in this Olympic Games and won the 6th place.

This is the best record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, but the fans are still yelling at the host for being inappropriate.
"Look at the results of the teams in Group A. The Amerika team won the gold medal, the Serbia team won the silver medal, and the Australian team almost overthrew Spain and came in fourth. It's a proper group of death!"

"It's all to blame for the grouping. If there is no America, the score may be the fifth place in the end. Losing by a big score is too terrible."

"We played two overtimes and lost by 1 point. Australia almost won the game. Ingles is really not a soy sauce player. Serbia's Jokic is also good. The Clippers' 15-core reputation is well-deserved!"

"CBA teammates, as long as they can shoot at Australia's level from the outside, and beat Spain, there is no problem at all."

"Unfortunately, our perimeter level is like this, this is already the best player."

"GOAT can't let its teammates hit open shots. In 2019, we will become the hosts. Can we give them a confrontation!"

"."

Compared with the 8th place in the London Olympics, the 6th place in the Rio Olympics is enough. The members of the delegation are very happy. This year's world-class party is very successful.

After the Rio Olympics, Li Ze still stayed in Brazil, and Shakira came to Rio in mid-August. In the Spanish-speaking market, the influence of the blonde sister is even greater.

After confirming that her baby son is indeed growing up healthily, Shakira has finally escaped from the state of being pregnant for three years.

After the closing ceremony, Li Ze left the delegation and followed his blond sister to the hotel in Sao Paulo.

In 2016, streaming music channels have also undergone considerable changes.

In March of this year, Spotify received US$10 billion in convertible bond financing from Texas Pacific Group (TPG), the largest equity investment company in the United States, hedge fund Dragoneer Investment Group, and Goldman Sachs clients.

IPO is coming soon, the era of barbaric growth is coming to an end, and the platform also has a tendency to squeeze singers and users.

Google Music Play is supported by YouTube and has huge traffic. Although everyone has been complaining about creators, this year it is also constantly moving.

Youtube has invested 6000 million US dollars in a music talent program called "Foundry". Obviously, the platform will also support its own musicians.

Of course, as a global platform, it is expected that Google Music Play will continue to increase copyright acquisitions this year and enter the Latin and Spanish markets.

Li Ze and Shakira have been paying attention to the financing situation of the music industry. Unlike Taylor, the blonde sister is more sensible. If she wants to make money, she can't sing against the market.

Shakira, who has been out of work for more than two years, doesn't seem to have changed in appearance. I don't know if it's the result of harvesting yang and nourishing yin, or the blessing of technology and genes. The physical condition of this fairy is no different from when we just met.

The blond sister with curly hair, dressed coolly, and wearing purple sports shorts focused on the emails on the notebook, took the red wine handed over by Li Ze, and immediately smiled:
"In two days, we will go to several parties together. We are all veteran music producers. If we want to make money, we can't do it alone."

Li Ze doesn't care about sharing some of the profits. The game of big fish eating small fish is getting more and more serious. If independent record companies want to live well, they will inevitably have to compromise:
"It seems that Sony Music is about to transform, and physical records really can't be sold anymore."

Shakira doesn't care about this, she has already enjoyed the bonus, but the income from streaming media has declined in recent years, which makes the blonde sister a little heartbroken:

"I invested in some earphone brands back then, and now I must have made a lot of money. I don't know what the future will look like. The fashion trends every year are getting more and more incomprehensible."

Li Ze has a general idea, but it's not the type of music he likes:
"Electronic music, rap, what else can there be? In America, the development of music is also closely related to social trends. History is a circle, and it's the turn of rap."

Knowing that Li Ze didn't like rap, the blond sister immediately laughed out loud, and then joked:

"Isn't it going to be impossible to make money in the future, and is it necessary to compromise for the market?"

Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, but curled his lips at the blond sister, expressing his indifference to fashion trends, and couldn't help complaining silently in his heart:

"If it doesn't work, the electricity will be gone! Make money, don't shudder"

On August 8, the Clippers did not give up on the new players. After struggling for more than a month, David West had no choice but to accept the Warriors' invitation.

At the end of their careers, veterans only want to compete for the championship. Since Grant Hill got the ring with the Clippers, he has completely become Li Zechui.

NBA TV has just launched a program "Inside Stuff" recently, and Grant Hill has become the host of the program.

He is partnered with Christine Melissa Laidlow, a gold-medal beauty anchor who has become popular in recent years.

He has worked as a sideline reporter for TNT and as a sports anchor for CNN.

Laidlow, who is 1 meters tall, won No.8 in the Florida beauty pageant. She is a typical America blonde beauty.

The "Inside Stuff" program is mainly to provide fans with gossip news on and off the court in the NBA and help fans better understand star players.

After the Clippers lineup was complete, Grant Hill also seized the opportunity and invited old teammate Matt Barnes to frequently pick up hot spots.

One of the two has retired, and the other has left the Clippers. At this time, they show up to comment and talk about internal gossip, which will always attract the attention of fans.

The three of them chatted, and they talked about the Clippers' biggest opponent. Grant Hill said with emotion at this time:

"Although the Warriors have added slag Pachulia, JaVale McGee and David West, I believe that the Clippers led by Kayce are not weaker than the opponent at all."

"The Clippers' lineup is too tall. From the 1st position to the 4th position, they are all forward players. They move fast and can easily switch defenses. I can't think of any team that can do such a thing."

Barnes, who left the Clippers, also agrees with this point of view. The veteran has already begun to prepare for his retirement life, and has recently become brainless Li Zechuan:
"The Warriors will not be the opponent of the Clippers. They may win two or three games in the series, but when it comes to critical moments, Kayce will always come forward!"

"No player in the league wants to play against Kayce. As long as it is one-on-one, he can score easily. Anyone who has played knows what it means to have a shooting percentage of more than 6%!"

Laidlow blinked his big eyes, and suddenly asked an unrelated question:

"Is no one talking trash to Kayce? I have been following the Clippers' games, and I have never seen any player provoke Kayce."

Hearing this question, Grant Hill and Matt Barnes on the side all laughed:

"Provoke Kayce? This guy averaged 40+ per game in the regular season. You don't need to think about the consequences of provoking him. God, no one likes to watch opponents score crazy points on their heads."

Matt Barnes has had a lot of fun, this question is really interesting, and he even made up a lot of pictures in his brain.

Grant Hill also added with a smile:
"As Matt said, Kayce is too strong. I have played in the league for many years and I have also experienced old-school basketball."

"If you want to challenge a superstar, the easiest way is to lock him up on the defensive end, or blow him up on the offensive end!"

"Just like no one likes to talk trash with Michael Jordan, a serious Michael will definitely blow up the opponent's player."

"But Kayce is different. No matter whether you will provoke him or not, he will cut 40+ on your head. I can imagine the helplessness in the hearts of the players who played against him this season. God, this is terrible!"

Matt Barnes on the side, after making up a few pictures in his brain, laughed again and said:

"If there are players talking hard to Kayce while calling for teammates to help him defend, this scene is really funny."

Say the most ruthless words, do the most embarrassing things, imagine this kind of clown-like provocation, Laidlow also laughed, and finally Grant Hill returned to the topic:
"After George joined the Clippers, the team's salary space has just passed the poor line. In the next two years, they have a chance to win another championship."

"The Clippers may complete 6 consecutive championships, and I can't wait to see their performance in the new season!"

"."

On the morning of August 8, the Clippers official website updated the team's 24-man roster:

Backline: Li Ze, Eric Gordon, Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon, Norman Powell, Pat Connaughton;
Forwards: Paul George, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, Joe Ingles, Pascal Siakam, George Niang;

Centers: Nikola Jokic, Mason Plumlee, Kevon Looney.

At present, the salary of the Clippers' lineup is only 8494 million US dollars, which has just surpassed the poor line.

Even if the wages of Li Ze and Jokic rise next year, and the role players get big contracts, the team can still maintain the integrity of the lineup.

After all, the salary cap will continue to rise, and the Clippers' salary explosion will probably not appear until 2 years later.

Steve Ballmer is more satisfied with the team's operation in the offseason.

It was planned to form the Big Three such as Li Ze, Durant, and Paul George. Unfortunately, Durant chose the most difficult path. Although the old man spent money, he did not pay the luxury tax, and he always felt a little unhappy.

Fortunately, after some calculations, it was discovered that the team has a high probability of salary explosion in the future, and Steve Ballmer was satisfied.

The team has made money in the past few years. After the move, it needs gimmicks. The more star players the better, so as to attract fans to watch the game.

After the Olympics ended, Li Ze's name was swiped all over the screen again in Tianchao, and all kinds of chicken soup articles were thrown out of the marketing account, and the People's Daily also sent praises:

"Rising from the bottom, moving forward under heavy pressure"

"Sixth in the Rio Olympics, the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the spirit of fighting until the last moment has won the respect of the world."

Although they did not over-praise Li Ze and emphasized the collective more, the fans didn't care about it. After returning to China on the 29th, Li Ze was almost overwhelmed by the crowd again.

It is rare for a big ball to achieve a breakthrough. With the encouragement of domestic sports officials, they are more actively preparing for the 2019 Basketball World Cup. With the blessing of the host, winning a medal is not a dream!
After returning to Los Angeles at the end of August, Li Ze took Taylor to fly directly to Bozeman. He will stay here in Montana until the end of September.

This year Li Ze played a lot of games, the coaching staff felt sorry for the golden thighs, all the preseason games abroad were rejected, and Li Ze did not need to report on the training camp.

When Paul George was in Rio, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself. When he returned to Los Angeles, he bought a house and settled down completely. He only felt that he was full of energy!

Fished in the first round of the playoffs. Although his body is still recovering from a serious injury, Paul George still did not relax under the stimulation of the championship. He kept training every day after returning.

The newbies of the Clippers were so hot during the offseason that Jaylen Brown was almost caught and doubted his life. Don't these people enjoy life?
After playing the summer league, some new players did not stop their daily training. Water cooler guardians like Powell, Connaughton, and Rooney finally saw the hope of getting ahead, so how could they not play hard.

After all, the championship can't be a salary, and getting a big contract is their current primary goal.

On September 9, the Clippers opened their training camp, and the team's official INS also released training photos of the players.

Paul George is the most eye-catching, and fans of the Clippers have praised it. This year's season tickets are sold out very fast. After all, fans still prefer star players.

Head coach De Nagro is very satisfied with the state of the players. Jokic has lost a lot of weight. Playing in the Olympics also consumes a lot of money for Fatty Bai.

After the simple tactical training session in the morning, Paul George didn't see Li Ze, so he asked curiously:

"When will Kayce return to training camp, we should hone our tactics in the preseason."

Tucker, who has been with the Clippers for 4 years, is considered an old guy in the locker room this season. Hearing the question from the new Paul George, he said indifferently:
"Don't worry about Kayce, he can adapt to any tactics. In fact, he doesn't play much every preseason, but it only takes one or two games for him to fully adapt to the playing habits of his new teammates."

Jaylen Brown on the side heard a question mark on his face, is it really a robot playing?
Players who have been with the Clippers for several years have long adapted to Li Ze's magic. Jin Thigh knows his teammates' playing habits very well, even the trio on the water cooler.

Due to Paul George's serious injury, he has not been able to train with Li Ze in the past two years. Even now, he still has not fully adapted to his injured leg.

However, in the new season, he believes that he will usher in a new high in his career. Gallinari can average 24 points per game. Paul George thinks that he can average 28 points per game, so there should be no problem!

"I really want to start the game earlier. I have also been to Inglewood to see the new arena in the past few days. It is really great!"

Paul George began to think about the future again. After coming to Los Angeles, he received many private messages from fans asking why he didn't go to the Lakers.

He didn't even bother to answer this question, what's the use of joining the Lakers?What about the giants?Can he hit the championship next season?

Paul George understands the superiority of some Lakers fans. Anyway, the question is that the Lakers are very good, but the actual action is laughing after joining the Clippers.
Jaylen Brown, as this year's No. [-] pick, naturally has to be compared with the No. [-] Ingram.

It just so happened that both of them were in Los Angeles, and the topic was full. Before the new season started, the sports media here had already created momentum for the two of them.

It's just that the training camp is very introverted. Jaylen Brown feels that if he wants to get the starting position, he will probably have to wait half a season. He is not Li Ze, and he can quickly adapt to the team's tactics:

"Is this the Dynasty team? It really is completely different from what I imagined."

On September 9, the media in Los Angeles finally saw Li Ze.

This seems to indicate that Li Ze may attend the preseason game, and Clippers fans can't wait to see the effect of Li Ze and Paul George playing together.

After returning to Los Angeles, Li Ze returned to a state full of energy. Physical fitness has never been a problem for him, but a large number of games have also made him mentally exhausted.

The playoffs and the Olympic games made Li Ze completely digest the S+ energy drink. Looking at the new badge and new attributes every night, he also felt that he was going to heaven:
Achievement Badge [NBA Championship]: Level 6 (Fusionable)
The glory of the champion, the player's overall attribute is increased by 6.25%, and the game experience is added.

Basic attributes after fusion:
Champion gene - will have a keen intuition in the face of high-intensity defense.

Additional attributes after fusion:
Leader's Heart—Leading the team to victory is regarded as one's own responsibility, and boosts the team's morale.

Mr. Key - fully enhance the attribute at the critical moment of the game.

Experience bonus: 2 times.

After winning the sixth championship, the extra attributes after fusion have not yet been experienced, but Li Ze calculated silently, and the badge experience bonus has reached an even more terrifying 6 times!
Counting the 1.5% bonus brought by the combined badge of the NCAA and NBA championships, its own attributes have increased by 7.75% this year.

Basic attributes:
速度：90（+7），力量：87（+7），体力：98（+8），弹跳力：91（+7），防守敏捷：92（+7），控球：90（+7），
近距离投篮：97（+8），空位中距离投篮：95（+7），空位三分投篮：94（+7），罚球：97（+8）。

Advanced attributes:
Cut layups: 101, cut dunks: 101, stop dunks: 85,

Confused mid-range shots: 97, Mid-range shots off the dribble: 98, Confused 96-pointers: 96, [-]-point shots off the dribble: [-],

Post-up hook: 70, post-up fadeaway: 99, dribble speed: 93, acceleration: 96.

SS-functional drink: (enhanced life form)
Ignoring the incomprehensible enhancement of life forms, Li Ze saw that after the addition, his physical strength reached 106, 105 at close range, 102 at mid-range, and 101 at three-point shooting. He also felt that there was a high probability that he would enter an inhuman state .

The physical value of more than 100 allows him to maintain a hot state throughout the game, and the close-range shooting of more than 100 greatly improves his finishing ability at the basket!

The middle distance of more than 100 has comprehensively improved his strong shooting ability, and Li Ze is looking forward to the three-point shooting of more than 100.

This season's attributes have indeed improved a lot, and after a season of accumulation, he has also won three new badges:

Achievement Badge [Hat Chaser Master]: (Can be merged)

In the state of chasing and defending, the physical attributes are slightly improved.

Achievement Badge [Fearless Terminator]: (Can be merged)

The commission is converted into the ability to force a layup.

Achievement Badge [Dodge Terminator]: (Can be merged)

Improves the player's ability to avoid physical confrontation when driving to the rim.

After experiencing the Olympic Games, the above three badges have finally become purple and can be merged.

Li Ze took another look at the three badges, and finally integrated them all into the super badge.

I touched the purple-gold sun-like super badge with hope, but the attributes remained unchanged:
Super badge [Basketball Legend]: (can be merged)

All-round bonus to basketball skills.

Li Ze sighed silently. He has already won 6 championships, but he is just a legend. He glanced at his attributes again and gave an evaluation in his heart:

"The player attributes of the dark matter version are not so strong, and I don't know where the end is?"

In the 2016 preseason, Chinese fans were a little disappointed. Since Li Ze and Paul George both participated in the Olympics, the Clippers will not have a Chinese team this year.

After all, when you go abroad to play, everyone buys tickets to see superstars. The Clippers coaching staff doesn't want to consume Li Ze and Paul George too much.

Li Ze is considered to be the player who has played the most games in the league this year, while Paul George is still recovering from a serious injury.

The NBA naturally also understands the Clippers. There are not many superstars who have played 82 regular season games, and it is no problem to play less preseason games.

Although the Rockets selected Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi still had to play for the XJ team in the 16-17 season.

However, this did not delay the Rockets from making money in China. In this year's preseason, they flew to Shanghai again and continued to play against the Shanghai Sharks.

Chris Paul is very popular in China. Under the influence of Li Ze, Chairman Pao's small actions have become old-fashioned and tough.
The Rockets also made reinforcements during the offseason. In response to the outside shooting ability pulling the hips, the team added Ryan Anderson.

With the salary cap soaring, 4 million dollars in 8000 years, Rockets fans are a little dumbfounded, Ryan Anderson is worth so much money?
The bearded player also signed a four-year maximum salary contract of $4 million with the Rockets during the offseason, and his salary for the new season has also reached $1.18 million!

Coupled with Chris Paul's salary of $2460 million this season, the Rockets can be regarded as a Big Three. After all, Ryan Anderson's salary this year is also $1874 million
D'Antoni likes the Rockets' offensive space very much. After adding Nene Hilario inside, the Rockets can play his favorite bombardment tactic!

Although the team's lineup may be adjusted after the All-Star Game, for Paul, he is not satisfied this offseason.

The team did not make targeted reinforcements, and they still need a sixth man!

The bench lineup lacks stable scoring points, and the newly signed Puligioni and Gary Payton II are all soy sauce
But what makes Paul feel relieved is that the bearded player didn't push his butt during the offseason, and he honestly trained with him in Los Angeles.

After receiving the buff of leaving Kardashian, Harden, who had fulfilled his childhood dream, finally began to calm down and devote more energy to basketball.

Although nightclubs can't stop, but without Kardashian's big butt, Harden's condition is getting better and better visible to the naked eye.

No matter what the outside world thinks of the Rockets, Paul feels that he still has a chance to win the championship.

At the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena, halfway through the game, the bearded player has already scored a triple-double.

There was really no pressure in the game. After Anthony saw the team's problems, after the start of the second half, he reduced the time that Harden and Paul were on the court at the same time.

Every time Capela or Nene succeeds in eating cakes, the Chinese fans at the scene will send huge cheers. Paul is sitting on the bench and is constantly communicating with D'Antoni:

"In the new season, we can speed up or fall into positional battles. We should play more pick-and-rolls and let Hilario and Capela participate in the offense."

Coach D'Antoni is very satisfied with Paul's attitude. After all, he has won a championship and knows how to play. Having such a guard saves him a lot of energy:
"We can also play 5-out lineups and use the pick-and-roll to punish the opponent's big man. I hope the team can shoot a lot of three-pointers this season."

Seeing that Paul wanted to respond, D'Antoni immediately smiled and said:

"I know you are worried about the playoffs, but most role players can't do much work, so in the new season, you can continue to complete mid-range shots, and everyone else is waiting for the opportunity to shoot three-pointers. .”

"Either finish the offense at the basket, or complete the offense outside the three-point line, believe me, this will greatly improve the team's record, and it will also allow Harden's ability to be maximized."

The Clippers' three consecutive championships depended on Li Ze's unparalleled mid-range attacking ability!
Paul didn't know what effect D'Antoni's tactics would have, but he still agreed to the first request of the new coach:
"No problem, I will complete these tactical requirements. In the new season, the Rockets will definitely rush to the top half!"

Coach D'Antoni finally smiled and patted Paul on the shoulder. Watching Harden easily complete a three-pointer with a step back at the top of the arc, he couldn't help but start thinking about the future:
"What the Suns can't do, let the Rockets do."

On October 10, the Clippers also ushered in a preseason game against the Warriors, and the Oracle Arena was packed.

Although both the Clippers and the Warriors had announced before the game that players who had participated in the Olympics would not attend tonight's game, everyone still chose to be there to support.

On the Clippers side, Brogdon and Jaylen Brown are partnered in the backcourt, Tucker and Harris are on the front line, and Plumlee is the center.

The Warriors are led by Curry. In order to give back to the fans, Curry, who did not play in the Olympics, led the team.

Ian Clark, Andre Iguodala, David West, Slag Pachulia were also there.

Paul George on the bench has been completely convinced these days. Li Ze did not participate in training, but after only two days of joint training, he has fully integrated into the team.

All kinds of tactics are at your fingertips, seamless switching with the ball and without the ball. What makes Paul George feel outrageous is that Li Ze's three-pointer seems to have evolved again.
Seeing Curry hit an ultra-long three-pointer on the field, Paul George, dressed in casual clothes, muttered next to Li Ze:

"I always feel that this guy is shooting farther and farther. It seems that Curry has also practiced more in the off-season. What an exaggerated shooting ability!"

Li Ze also noticed Curry's offensive choices. Last year's playoffs under the tough defense, the three-pointer stretched, and Curry seemed to make changes in the new season.

"It's just a matter of offensive selection. In key rounds, as long as you can get the ball into the basket, believe me, as long as you can score steadily, there is not much difference between 2 points or 3 points."

Paul George was a little speechless. After getting in touch these days, he found that Li Ze would always pretend to be X inadvertently, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was nothing wrong with these statements.

After all, Li Ze shot more than 6% from the field, and in many games, the two-pointer hit more than 7%. With this scoring efficiency, the three-pointer is really not important
Although it was a bit shocking, Paul George also deeply realized the gap between himself and Li Ze.

In his explosive state, the two may be evenly matched. Once the series is pulled to 7 games, Paul George will enter an unpredictable state, but Li Ze can still perform stably.

Although he has changed from the team leader to the second child, Paul George thinks this is a good thing, and he even has a chance to hit the MVP in the new season.

Amika's sports media will not let Li Ze complete the achievement of three consecutive MVPs for the second time. In this case, other players will have a chance.

The record of the Clippers in the dual-core mode will definitely not be too bad in the new season. Paul George has already figured it out. The Warriors have too many star players. The Cavaliers are nothing to worry about. The MVP is likely to be his!

Thinking of this, Paul George couldn't help but take a tactical back.
Jokic on the side has found that Paul George will always fall into an inexplicable state of self-indulgence these days, which makes him a little difficult to understand.

The two have already played against each other in the Rio Olympics, and they are familiar with each other. Fatty Bai also set a goal for himself in the new season, 16+10. He wants to use such data to get a big contract!

"Kayce, will the salary cap continue to rise next season?"

Hearing Jokic's question, Li Ze replied affirmatively:
"Don't worry! Didn't I say it many times, the salary will continue to rise in the past two years, the contract is not a problem."

Li Ze understands Fatty Bai's feelings very well. If he is famous in the Olympics, he will have more ideas in the new season. Who doesn't want to get a maximum salary?

The reason why players in the contract year train hard is also to show their attitude to the coaching staff and strive for more playing time.

The new season really needs to give up some data and balance the locker room, which is the first thing Li Ze has to do.

On the other side of the Warriors' bench, Clay stared blankly at the situation on the field.

He did not participate in Durant's recruitment during the offseason because he knew that once Durant came to the team, the shooting power would have to be readjusted.

Statistics are worth the money, and Clay made up his mind that he would not share his shot rights. Steve Kerr, who was also sitting on the bench, also had a big head, and the current team was not enough.

"Steve, we need to make a decision early, egalitarian basketball can't play the results we want!"

Steve Kerr did not respond immediately, but silently watched Curry on the court:

"It seems that we can only sacrifice the shooting rights of Curry and Green."

　　After watching the playoffs, Towns is really a bear biscuit,
　　The team has too much influence on the players,

　　If you lose a lot, it's really easy to get numb.
