Chapter 316 The Collapsed Heat Team (9600 words chapter)(1/4)

On November 1, 2013, the Clippers ushered in the first back-to-back trip of the season.

The Kings have reached a preliminary agreement with the Raptors, and they will trade for Rudy Gay.

Although the deal has not yet been reached, many media people have already broken the news in advance, and the two teams did not refute it.

Before the arrival of the new players, head coach Mike Malone was full of confidence. He felt that he had a chance to lead the Kings to the playoffs.

In the first game of the new season, the Kings narrowly defeated the Nuggets, and head coach Mike Malone ushered in his first victory in his NBA coaching career!

However, after the game on the 1st night, everyone in the Kings almost shut themselves down.

116:101, the Clippers easily defeated their opponents and won their third consecutive victory in the new season.

Although the score difference was 15 points, the game was even more confusing.

When the score difference was the largest, it reached 20 points, and then the Clippers started rowing without oars, and the game relied entirely on waves!

Li Ze and Paul went crazy in the fourth quarter to give Griffin cakes. As a result, they hit the ball continuously in the mid-range and the point difference was recovered to 10 points.

Then the defensive intensity was strengthened, relying on Li Ze's mid-range, and in more than 2 minutes, the point difference returned to 16 points.

Then Jordan spit out cake and hit free throws, and the score difference returned to 10 points.

After struggling like this for most of the quarter, in the end, Mike Malone almost scolded his mother directly, and finally replaced the main force and voluntarily admitted defeat.

Of course, many Kings players like the rhythm of this game.

Isaiah Thomas, a player selected by the Kings with the 30th overall pick in the second round in 2011, has a tendency to explode in statistics this season.

He made 9 of 13 shots in the game, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 29 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

As the sixth man on the bench, Isaiah Thomas completed his scoring task excellently.

The Clippers' Crawford also had a great time, shooting 7 of 10, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 18 points. His efficiency in the playoffs has improved, and he must hit hard in the regular season!

Cousins ​​also had good statistics, 9 of 19 shots, 24 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 4 turnovers. Except for coach Mike Malone's fantasy of winning, these Kings players are actually used to losing.

After the game, Li Ze took photos cordially with the local fans and finally returned to the locker room slowly.

"Brainless" Cousins ​​is not in the mood to get close to Li Zetao. When the bearded golfer was with the Kings, we couldn't play together.

Thinking about Harden's current treatment with the Rockets, Cousins ​​​​is a little bitter. For 78.78 million U.S. dollars in five years, the bearded player signed a not-insignificant contract with the Rockets.

After giving the opponent their first defeat of the season, they returned to the locker room and heard Chris Paul explaining the angle of the pick-and-roll to the two pie-eaters.

7 of 14, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 turnovers. Obviously Paul is not satisfied with his number of turnovers.

"Blake is still too anxious. Let's practice shooting from the free throw line first."

Li Ze patted his cousin on the shoulder and comforted him.

Griffin made 6 of 16 shots and 8 of 8 free throws in this game. He scored 20 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers. It was a double-double. His performance was still very good.

“Flying has definitely affected my hand feel!”

Griffin was a bit embarrassed, mainly because Paul and Li Ze were too efficient, which sometimes put him under a lot of pressure.

"Is it time for Kayce to win the Best of the Week award again? I feel like there is no suspense about this award!"

"It is estimated that the league will definitely award the award to Kayce in the first few weeks, and will consider others later."

Veteran Ray Allen performed well in this game. He made 3 of 6 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 12 points with free throws. After hearing everyone's discussion, he couldn't help but follow suit and said:

"It's such a pity that there is no four consecutive MVPs in history, otherwise Kayce would definitely have achieved this achievement."

Li Ze doesn't care. He is now a superstar in the league, a proper first appearance, and a successful example of star-making before president David Stern retired.

The referees paid more attention to him. He basically knew how to blow the whistle when he rushed in. He only needed to win a few more championships in Los Angeles. Li Ze also felt that he could challenge the first man in history!

"In competitive sports, you must always strive for the first place!"

After this game, the Clippers also ended the first week of the new season. In addition, the next game is the home court of the Clippers. The coaching staff moved the training time to the afternoon to give everyone a good half-day rest.

During the offseason, Steve Ballmer officially announced that he would step down as CEO of Microsoft. As long as a suitable candidate is found, the old man will officially retire.

However, this season the old man did not come to watch many home games. Instead, he kept flying to away games just to inspect the arena.

On the night of the 2nd, Li Ze and the Clippers management flew to Salt Lake City with the old man. Steve Ballmer liked the home atmosphere of the Jazz very much.

That night happened to be a Rockets game, and the next game happened to be the Clippers' home court, and their opponent was also the Rockets.

Gary Sachs saw that Gobert only played less than 10 minutes in this game, and secretly cursed the Jazz management for being inappropriate!

Steve Ballmer watched the whole show with great interest, and finally commented simply:

"Too many free throws, too bad to watch!"

Li Ze smiled and nodded. The Rockets made 35 free throws in this game, and Harden and Howard made 20 free throws in total.

The bearded golfer was not happy playing, and Howard still preferred to play in the low post.

"Parsons played very well, maybe we can sign him in the future!"

The old man expressed his opinion again, and Gary nodded immediately. Li Ze looked strange. Parsons scored the Rockets' highest 24 points, and also had 12 rebounds and 6 assists.

Judging from his performance on the court, Parsons was indeed impeccable, but the memory in Li Ze's mind told him that Parsons quickly fell out of favor after leaving the Rockets:

"You have the money, so what are you afraid of? This guy may have Oscar-level acting skills."

On the night of the 3rd, Li Ze entertained the bearded golfers again. Although there was a match the next day, Harden had no intention of being polite and hugged two girls with big butts and twisted wildly.

As Li Ze's party girl, Vera Holland sticks to Li Ze's body.

This nightclub in West Hollywood is their favorite. Every time he comes to Los Angeles, Harden can't wait to go here and have fun.

Vera, who was wearing denim shorts and a white tight T-shirt, was already drunk. When she returned to the booth, she hugged Li Ze and kissed her wildly.

After finally calming Vera, who wanted to fight fiercely, she turned around and saw that Harden had buried his head in the arms of the big-assed girl.

"Remember not to be late for training tomorrow, otherwise the Houston media will definitely say that I led the Rockets' top star into bad situations again."

Li Ze quietly controlled the ball with one hand, and Vera had completely fallen on him. When the bearded golfer heard Li Ze's words, he shouted indifferently:

"I've signed a big contract! Star players must be treated like star players, and McHale can't control me!"

"I'll pay for tonight! This is the life I like!"

"oh!!"

All the girls around cheered, and the bearded golfer casually hugged a cow and laughed wildly.

On the morning of the 4th, the NBA announced the Player of the Week for the first week of the new season:

In the Eastern Conference, Brandon Jennings, who just transferred to the Pistons, led the team to a record of 2 wins and 0 losses.

Averaged 17.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 13.0 assists, 4.0 steals and 3.0 turnovers per game. With his excellent performance, he successfully won the award.

In the Western Conference, the Clippers have 3 wins and 0 losses. Li Ze struggled in the game against the Kings and only scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

But after three games, he averaged 37.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 turnovers per game, which still made him lag behind all the players in the Western Conference.

What's even more outrageous is that the field goal percentage is as high as 61.1% and the three-point shooting percentage is also 60.3%, so there is almost no suspense about this week's best.

In addition to congratulating Li Ze for winning the award, the Los Angeles media also reported the news that Li Ze and Harden had a nightclub party and the bearded golfer was throwing money wildly.

In the evening game, with 1 minute and 16 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Ze first turned around and asked for the ball at the left elbow area of ​​the free throw line, and then suddenly bounced to the left wing outside the three-point line.

As soon as Paul's pass arrived, Griffin immediately stepped forward to cover.

Li Ze swung right and left, taking advantage of the situation to make a large change of direction in front of him, and then the Harden man was gone.

After three vigorous dribbles, Li Ze quickly cut in from the left at 45 degrees, approached the paint area, and quickly jumped into the air.

Ignoring Howard's block, Li Ze grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand and pulled his arm back to the limit. After the two men fought in the air, Li Ze was not affected and slammed the ball into the basket!

"oh!!"

On the Clippers bench, everyone threw the towels in their hands into the sky and screamed wildly. Crawford even held his head in his hands, showing an expression of disbelief.

The Staples Arena went berserk in an instant. Howard stumbled and finally managed to stand up. Hearing the screams from the scene again, he was immediately furious.

Especially the audience at the scene, many of whom were Lakers fans, and some even sneered at Howard:

"Traitor! You will never win the championship!"

Howard, who was breaking the defense, saw Li Ze standing under the basket and beating his chest, pretending to be crazy, and immediately yelled at Harden on the outside:

"Hey! Hey! Defense! This is the first time! Shet! I've had enough!"

The bearded golfer just raised his hand to indicate that it was his problem and was ready to serve.

When he was with the Kings, Cousins ​​took the ball away from him, and now that McHale is planning to take away part of the ball to Howard, Harden is naturally dissatisfied.

As for being passed by Li Ze in one step, it was mainly because of his weak legs. He controlled four balls with both hands last night, and after crazy extra practice, the bearded golfer was already exhausted.

At the end of the first quarter, at 25:42, the Clippers had led their opponents by 17 points.

"The Rockets' perimeter defense is too poor. They can't rely on Howard to help defend and cover the basket every round. Both Lin and James Harden lacked aggressiveness."

Reggie Miller heard the words of his old partner Steve Kerr, and then he paid attention to the technical statistics in his hand. Harden made 1 of 3, scoring 2 points, and Jeremy Lin made 0 of 2, scoring zero points.

"Howard also has problems. Many times he plays too deep. Maybe he should try more pick-and-roll attacks."

On the bench of the Clippers, Paul looked at the data with delight, 2 points and 10 assists, and he got the assist with a flick of his little hand!
