Chapter 167 Confrontation Battle (Ten Thousand Words Chapter)

On May 5th, as the G2 game between the Thunder and the Mavericks ended, America's media were suddenly excited, and it was time for a big event!

This game was very dramatic. The Mavericks' 23 zone defense completely shut down Durant in the first half. The Thunder relied on Li Ze and Guigui to survive the first two quarters.

In the third quarter of the game, after Li Ze used a double step to score 3+1, Caron Butler, who broke the defense, was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and pushed Li Ze and was ejected. This also caused the Mavericks to

The defense collapsed in the 4th quarter and ultimately lost the game.

At the press conference after the game, Carlisle's head coach was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision and even bluntly pointed out that the referee made a misjudgment:

"Because of a misjudgment, our perimeter defensive leader was eventually ejected. This is simply a big joke! I accept the failure, but the league should also review the penalty in this round. I am looking forward to the referee's report after the game.

"

Coach Brooks was in a good mood and led 2:0. This was definitely a perfect start to the series. In response to Coach Carlisle's words, he smiled slightly and began to stand up for his disciples:

"Misjudgment? No, no, no, the league just revised the walking rules this year. Kayce's technical movements are completely correct. The referee's penalty is undoubtedly very correct. Caron Bart directly pushed down my player. That is definitely not a

Basketball action!”

"As for Kevin's sluggish state, that's normal. Don't forget that he is only a third-year rookie player. The Thunder are the youngest team in the league. I hope everyone can be more tolerant to the boys."

Once the rules issue comes up, all the relevant people in the NBA league are in high spirits, and Li Ze's step-back jumper has been repeatedly replayed. Some people say it's a walk, some people say it's a good shot. This penalty has been directly pushed to the forefront.

.

In the TNT program that night, host Ernie Johnson, sports commentator Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley were also discussing tonight's game.

"Wow! We've watched Lee's move several times, guys, what do you think? Is this a misjudgment by the referee?"

Host Ernie Johnson asked the two partners on the left and right with an exaggerated tone.

"If we follow the new rules, Kayce didn't actually move. 012, we paid attention to the timing of his ball, which was completely in line with the rules. But we only saw it clearly after watching the slow motion. According to the situation on the court at that time,

Judging from the situation, this is indeed a whistle that is beneficial to the home team."

After watching it several times, Kenny Smith immediately gave his own opinion.

"I also admit that this is a beautiful technical move, but I don't like such rule changes. The NBA began to issue a large number of rules in the 1990s, and all the rules are biased towards outside attackers, which makes

Our style of play has softened a lot.”

Charles Barkley starts to miss the tough guy basketball days again

"To put it this way, the referee did not misjudge. Li is indeed a talented player. It is difficult for me to imagine how he did such an action. This is really terrifying physical coordination."

"The Thunder won with difficulty. Under the double-team defense of the Mavericks, Lee scored 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 2 steals. It's hard for me to imagine that he is still a rookie. After going to Dallas, do you think the Mavericks will come back?"

City?"

When Charles Barkley heard Ernie Johnson's words, he immediately said:

"I think the Mavericks will definitely win at home. They have found a way to limit the Thunder. Although Kayce played well and Russell also played well, look at Kevin Durant's sluggish performance!

This is the disadvantage of relying too much on the outside."

"I agree with your point of view, but to be honest, Durant is only a third-year rookie. In the sluggish first half, he also scored 24 points in the game. We should not be too harsh on him.

, he has been performing very well in previous playoffs!"

Definitely - Smith has always admired Durant very much. After hearing Barkley's words, he immediately started to say good things for Durant.

"I need to remind you two that we may be witnessing the best perimeter trio in history. Russell scored 26 points in this game, Kevin 24 points, Lee 28 points, and the trio once again scored 78 points.

!This is very rare in the history of the NBA! Give them some time to grow!"

Host Ernie Johnson also began to support the Thunder trio.

"OK! I'm just reminding the Thunder that they need to add an outstanding big man in the offseason. In the playoffs, an outstanding big man can help the team better. Look at the Thunder.

Poor screen, I really want to teach their inside line a lesson!"

Charles Barkley criticizes Thunder's interior defense again

"Oh! Speaking of this, our director team also edited several rounds of this game for us. Poor Kevin, he was double-teamed immediately after a pick-and-roll. We can often see this phenomenon in the first half.

.”

"Hahaha, man, are you going to hold a training camp in the offseason? I made an appointment for Jeff Green in advance. God, I think Nowitzki must love the Thunder's interior defense! Two games in a row.

Both scored 34 points!”

The Thunder did not celebrate too much after winning at home because their semifinal schedule was very tight, with only one day between home and away games.

Thinking of this, Li Ze wanted to complain about the Lakers' schedule. Why can the Lakers have 4 days of rest when they go to away games? Considering the distance, this time is a bit too long.

When Li Ze returned to his mansion in Oklahoma City, the brothers from UCLA had already left early. After staying in Oklahoma City for less than half a month, everyone was already feeling bored. After a brief discussion, everyone agreed to go to Los Angeles to wait for Li Ze.

Ze.

In Love's words: We firmly believe that the Lakers and Thunder will reach the Western Conference Finals, so everyone has to buy tickets in advance and reminisce about the wonderful life in Los Angeles that year.

When Li Ze heard this, he immediately understood that these guys didn't like the girls from Oklahoma City, so they went to Los Angeles to practice football together.

After a simple wash, Li Zeli lay down on his big bed. He had to fly to Dallas tomorrow. It was not pleasant to stay in a hotel. In addition, the environment in the visiting team's locker room was average. He had to recharge his batteries tonight.

!

In the dream training space, Li Ze was delighted to see another prompt appear on the control panel. He quickly came to the achievement room and saw the newly produced copper badge in front of him. He clicked lightly to check its attributes:

Achievement Badge [Defensive Deterrence]: 6/50

Intimidate opposing offensive players, making them more likely to miss.

The attributes of the badge are simple and crude, and Li Ze is very satisfied with it. Although the copper color effect is definitely not obvious at present, it will definitely have a huge bonus for him after upgrading. He has already experienced that the badge not only adds to his own technical application

, in terms of competition experience, the badge bonus has more effects.

How to better read the opponent's defense, use your own skills rationally, how to better defend the opponent's core players, combine with the team's defensive system, and limit the opponent's performance, all of which require rich game experience.

But Li Ze, who was wearing a silver badge, found that he had extraordinary intuition. When he was playing on the court, he could read the game better, as if he had played in the NBA for three or four seasons. This was the badge.

potential effects.

Thinking of the wonderful scene next season when the badge is brushed to gold, Li Ze's mood became more and more cheerful, and he gave himself a psychological hint:

"It is a good thing to produce badges. Although Dallas' away game is not easy to play, it will be fine if the Mavericks fail."

On May 6, the NBA announced the best team for the 2009-10 season. Kevin Durant was successfully selected for the first team. The five players in the first team were: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant.

Lent, LeBron James, Dwight Howard.

With his outstanding performance in his rookie season, Li Ze was also selected to the second team. The five players in the second team were: Steve Nash, Li Ze, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Dirk North.

Wisky.

The five members of the third team are: Deron Williams, Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Tim Duncan, and Pau Gasol.

In addition to the All-Defensive Team announced yesterday, the first team consists of five players: Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Gerald Wallace, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard;

The five players in the second team are: Dwyane Wade, Thabo Sefolosha, Josh Smith, Anderson Varejao, and Tim Duncan.

As of this morning, all major awards for the NBA regular season have been released.

On the plane flying to Dallas, everyone in the Thunder team congratulated Li Ze, Durant and Sefolosha. All-NBA Team and All-Defensive Team are considered great achievements. After all, many role players have never been able to win it in their lives.

Enter this list.

"Sapo, I said before that you will definitely be selected for the All-Defensive Team. Look, I was right. This is so cool! We actually have three best players on the team!"

Jeff Green is also happy for the three of them. Although he himself has gained nothing, as long as he keeps up with the pace of the team boss, there will definitely be no shortage of data and contracts.

"I didn't expect that I would be selected for the best defensive team. Maybe our record will be a big bonus for me. Thank you everyone!"

Sofolosha said very happily.

"What a pity, Kayce. It would be great if you could be selected for the first team. Unfortunately, the competition on the guard line is really fierce. In recent years, Kobe and Wade have been firmly occupying the list."

Guigui felt sorry for his good brother. After all, he became more legendary only after he entered the first team in his rookie season.

"This result is not bad. I am very satisfied. Congratulations to you Kevin. You won the scoring title this season and successfully entered the best team. In the offseason, you will definitely not be able to get a big contract!"

When Durant heard Li Ze's words, he felt more and more comfortable. Who is the core player? Thinking of the joy, he made a tactical retreat, and then said happily:

"Thank you all for your support, please wait for my good news, guys! I will make a lot of money this offseason! I will hold the biggest party in Oklahoma City then!"

"Maybe I can also invite Scarlett, she will be single again, what do you think?"

"Hey! Forget it, Kevin, women in Hollywood are not suitable for you! Let's just invite some young models. It will be more fun that way!"

"Scarlett is not divorced yet. Maybe it was just a drama on her part. The relationship between husband and wife is good."

"No, I believe the media reports. The current married life is not suitable for her. She needs more freedom. I have a hunch that she will be single again this year!"

When Li Ze heard Durant's words, he was immediately speechless. He was still deceiving himself and others! He licked until the end and had nothing left.

The Chinese Empire on the other side of the ocean naturally also knew about Li Ze's selection into the best lineup. Various media quickly sent out the prepared articles. Various periodicals and magazines also began to publish special topics on Li Ze. Everyone followed the hot topics and started going crazy.

blow.

There are all kinds of chicken soup jokes emerging one after another. Those who follow the trend even describe Li Zeke as a genius boy who loves basketball since he was a child but comes from a poor family.

On the Hupu forum, the fans almost praised Li Ze to the sky. After all, Yao played for so many years, and his best result was to be selected for the best second team. Li Ze achieved this goal in his rookie season.
