Chapter 122 Yao’s request (6000 words chapter)

Li Ze looked a little weird. What's wrong with Durant? He is so active in defense?

After more than three minutes of the game, both Jason Maxil and Yonas Jerebko were successfully restricted by Durant. Durant on the defensive end seemed to have been hit by the blood of the chicken.

The Pistons' inside and outside were all silent. Rodney Starki, who performed well in the previous games, was limited by Li Ze. His several strong shots in the inside were not very high.

After several attempts, the Thunder's conversion and offense began to show their power, and the Turtles made a one-stop breakthrough and layup.

12-6, the Detroit Pistons were hit head-on, and coach John Custer immediately requested a timeout, spending one quarter, and the subsequent game could not be played.

The audience at Ford Center Arena were excited and took the lead when they came up. They felt that the Thunder and the Pistons were not even on the same level, and the fans of Oxford City also began to expand.

"The Thunder's style of playing is getting more and more mature, especially when converting offense. They play very well and the offensive ends are also done well. It seems that the Thunder is really about to rise!"

Su Qun on the sidelines saw that the Thunder took the lead after playing more than three minutes at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh at the staff around him.

"I don't know which team will fall behind in these playoff teams in the West. Anyway, I think the Rockets will probably be out of luck this season."

Sina Sports reporters couldn't help but complain about the current situation of the Rockets.

"It's a pity for the Rockets. If Yao Yu is not injured, he can continue to compete this season."

"Forget it, the Rockets boss just doesn't want to spend money, and the problem of the back line has never been solved."

Because the Thunder will play the Rockets back-to-back tomorrow, everyone started to complain about this topic together.

Su Qun also knew in his heart that the Rockets' window for winning the championship may have passed, and the Western Conference semi-finals may be the best playoff result in Yao Yao's career.

After returning from the timeout, Rodney Starkey tried to solve the problem of the Pistons' current weak offensive end through his personal ability, but unfortunately, it was difficult for him to get rid of defense against Li Ze, who was a bigger body than him.

Several cross-step dribblings, Rodney Starki found that Li Ze still tightly covered him, tall and strong, and very sensitive. The most important thing is that Li Ze rarely sways.

The attack time was not long, so in the end, he had no choice but to step a sideways and mid-range against the defense.

"Bang" still makes a blacksmith.

After Costic received the rebound, he gave it to Durant nearby. The latter kept the ball and found Li Ze with a pass. The Thunder's conversion attack started again.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze accelerated wildly and rushed through the opponent's half. He noticed that the tortoise behind him had followed and passed the ball with a hidden back attack while he was marching.

After the Turtle received the ball, Rodney Starki, who ignored the interference in front of him, rushed forward with three big steps and dunked with one arm!

"Cang" switch and dunk succeeded.

After the Thunder's offense was completed, several Pistons' players retreated and returned.

Seeing this scene, Li Ze finally knew why the Pistons' performance declined. He lacked defensive intention and wanted to shoot offense data.

"Russell's wonderful counter-attack dunk, that's what we like to see my offense, rush up, OKC!"

After Durant received the ball, he made a brief adjustment and made an open three-point jump shot.

"Swish" enters the net hollow and converts three points to score.

"Ah!! Wow!"

Durant felt that his ball had not entered yet, and the audience burst into loud cheers. He turned his head and saw that it was Li Ze pretending to be X on the side and suddenly felt powerless to complain:

"It was me who threw the ball into it, but you were all equipped with X by yourself?"

By the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the opponent by 14 points 36 to 22, and the victory was already waving to them.

"It's so amazing. Li Ze scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the first quarter. I feel that he didn't have the full attack. He was basically connecting the team in the next few minutes."

The reporter from Sina Sports was already stunned. He suddenly remembered what Li Ze said after winning the NCAA championship: NCAA and NBA are no different.

"I was shocked. The three-point shooting is as simple as drinking water. Who among our domestic players has such shooting ability?"

The accompanying staff couldn't help but compare Li Ze with domestic players.

"This is a shooting ability under high confrontation. No need to compare. If you really have such ability, everyone will come to play in the NBA. Let's see how many points Li Ze can get in this game!"

Although it took a break in one quarter of the game, Su Qun is still looking forward to Li Ze's personal performance.

Coach Brooks is also willing to be beautiful in adulthood, and said directly to Li Ze during the holidays:

"Kayce, stay aggressive and have a chance to attack decisively!"

Li Ze nodded and signaled that he understood that coach Brooks allowed him to score points in the second quarter.

Since the Thunder led by 14 points in the first quarter, head coach Brooks also added rotations. At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ze brought four substitutes.

Sean Livingston and Sophlosa partnered in the backcourt, Li Ze and Ibaka on the front line, and Collison on the center line. This lineup made Li Ze become the offensive end point.

Coach Kuster was in a short rotation. Except for Will Bynum, all four of them were the starting lineup. The double-digit score difference made the Pistons have to fight hard.

When the Pistons attacked, Rodney Starki saw that the opponent in front of him turned into Sovlosa, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to face Li Ze anymore.

But he soon discovered that Sovlosa's defense was still difficult for him to break through, so he had no choice but to pass it to Jerebko, who was in the interior, who faced Ibaka's defense and missed the low-post shot.

Nick Collison protected the backcourt rebound. This time the Pistons retreated quickly and had no chance to switch. They passed the ball to Livingston, who slowly passed it through the half after receiving the ball.

Seeing Li Ze asking for the ball at the low post, he immediately took the ball and signaled his teammates to open up the offensive space.

Jason Mark Hill dared not get too close to Li Ze's defense. After Li Ze received the ball, he took a tentative step. Seeing the opponent move back a little, he immediately pulled out a jump shot.

"Swish" the middle distance is stable and stable.

"Oh! Kayce is destroying the Pistons, it's so easy, maybe he has a chance to break his scoring record in this game."

The commentator Twen is already exhausted.

In the first half of the second quarter, Li Ze showed the ability of a top small forward in the league on both offense and defense. He beat everyone in the Pistons all over, and it would be useless for anyone to defend.

Facing the defense of the back line, Li Ze forced himself to take action. As long as he was urged to his shooting hot zone, [High-difficulty shooting king] + [Strong shooting master] + [Hunter of hot zone] made his mid-range shooting percentage very high.

Facing the front line defense, Li Ze used his balanced left and right hands and skillful ball control skills to tear the defense line.

[Three Threat Veterans] Can be combined with various offensive badges, and the counterattack Mark Hill is almost swallowed by Li Ze.

The Thunder team attacked, Li Ze faced Mark Hill's defense from outside the three-point line, dribbled in the crotch continuously, held the ball in his left hand to accelerate the breakthrough, Maxil's side was close to the defense, and tried to use his body to fight against the dribble that interfered with Li Ze.

But this defense was too strong. As he was moving, Li Ze changed his rhythm and dribbled the ball on the spot with his left hand. He twisted his body slightly and made a fake move that he wanted to turn around.

Mark Hill was staggered and could only watch Li Ze accelerate his breakthrough again, picking the basket with his left hand and taking two points lightly.

Halfway through the second quarter, Li Ze made 4 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points. The difference has also reached 20 points. On the Pistons, the mentality of the players has collapsed and the defense has been slackened.

Although the score difference is very large, the head coach Brooks still replaced the Turtles and Durant, and Li Ze also got off the court at this time. After all, this is the home court of the Thunder. In order to give back to the fans, the main players also need to play for three quarters.

After the half-time game, the lead was 66 to 46,20, and there was almost no big suspense in the second half.

After the second half of the game started, Li Ze did not continue to attack hard, and after flashing the data to 30+5+10, he rarely took action except for a few catch-up balls.

Durant's scoring was whizzing up, and after three-pointers and free throws, he also got 30 points after three quarters. Both sides played very unrestrainedly in the third quarter, and it was also lively and beautiful without looking at the score.

The fourth quarter is the playing time for the two teams of water dispenser players, and the two sides played very fiercely. Fans of Oxford said that this ticket is indeed not a loss.

At the end of the game, the Thunder easily defeated the visiting Detroit Pistons at home 118-102.

Maybe it was because the attack was too ruthless. On the surface, the brothers couldn't do it. After the game, both sides just hugged and greeted each other. Then the Pistons players turned around and left, not wanting to stay for one more second.

In the Thunder's locker room, Durant excitedly told his experience in scoring points:

"Guys, three-pointers and free throws are definitely the best way to score. Of course, I have to admit that I felt good on the outside in this game, but I can try it out."

Durant scored 4 three-pointers in this game and 10 free throws, easily scoring 30 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. It has to be said that the referee did give the whistle. According to this harness, the scoring champion this season is definitely a chance.

"Three-pointers are too difficult. If the referee blew the whistle every time he broke through, my average score would increase a lot."

Turtle was a little envious of Li Ze and Durant. His mid-range distance was a bit inaccurate in this game, and he failed to score 20 points, 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 turnovers.

"Kevin is right. If the three-point shooting percentage is about 35%, and if some three-point shooting is appropriately increased, the scoring efficiency will definitely improve a lot."

"Given that there is only one star player in our team at present, don't count on free throws."

"If we all have LeBron James's slap, maybe our championship this season is expected!"

When everyone heard Li Ze's words, they burst into laughter. James' star whistle is almost the only one in the league.

This is not difficult to understand. The breakthrough style and the support of the league, as a future player, this privilege must be given.

Durant was very satisfied with his performance in this game. He scored 30 points on the offensive end and successfully restricted the opponents on the defensive end. He couldn't help but think happily:

"Look at how you can hack me! This is a real performance!"

Since we are going to fly to Houston tomorrow, everyone will go home early tonight, rest well, and prepare for tomorrow's game.

After Li Ze arrived home, he replied to the blessing text messages sent by his brothers on the surface, while thinking about what Christmas gifts to give to the two girls.

"I hate Christmas, I have given gifts all over the years."

...

On the plane to Houston, everyone in the Thunder were still Texas Hold'em. Seeing Durant's look bored, Jeff Green immediately asked:

"Kevin, don't tell me, I'm watching those shit media reports again."

"No, the media coverage is good, but last night there were a lot of Pistons fans who kept leaving comments on me on Twitter, they called me a free thrower, Fark, what shit nickname is this!"

Durant was in a good mood last night until he went home and looked at the news on Twitter, and he was speechless;

"What? Is this too dark?"
