Chapter 64 Away game against Pistons

The NBA schedule is very intensive. The day after playing home games, they have to get on a plane and head to Detroit to play against the Pistons.

In the early days, away games have less impact than the team, but as the season progresses and physical energy is consumed, this kind of flying games will affect the physical condition of the players.

But Li Ze didn't have this problem. The Class B energy drink in the dream training space allowed him to fully recover his physical fitness the next day, and he treated away games as a trip.

On the plane, Li Zezheng was playing cards with his teammates to kill some boring time.

Durant and Turtle were holding magazines in their hands, reading with gusto.

"Kevin, what's there to read in the magazine? Play a few rounds for me. I'm having a bad hand right now."

Li Ze saw Durant reading a magazine and couldn't help but be curious.

"Scarlett Johansson is so charming, I think I'm going to fall in love with her!"

Durant put down the magazine and said to Li Ze, this guy has been reading the news about Scarlett just now.

"I admit that Scarlett is indeed magnificent, but don't you think she is a bit short? There are not many innocent women in Hollywood."

Scarlett is not Li Ze's cup of tea. He likes tall people, if they are under 170cm, he is basically not interested in her unless they have certain specialties.

"Tyler is still the best. He is beautiful and sweet. Kayce, I have to rely on you for the next album!"

Turtle is a big fan of Taylor, so everyone automatically ignores his words.

"It's not about height, it's about temperament. Guys, that charming temperament is the most important thing!"

Durant explained to his teammates while grabbing cards.

"Forget it, Kevin, this kind of blonde girl is not our cup of tea. I still prefer passionate Latin girls!"

Jeff Green, the LSP, just said that he likes small electric motors. His love for big butts really left Li Ze speechless.

"Latin girl, Charach is indeed beautiful! It's a pity that she is too petite."

Li Ze reluctantly agreed with Jeff Green's point of view. After all, he especially liked learning Spanish in high school.

"Who is this?! What a bad card! Kayce, there is definitely something wrong with your position!"

When Durant turned his attention to the cards, he shouted directly. Li Ze smiled slightly and quietly turned around and left.

"Kevin, please hold on for a few rounds and don't try to cheat!"

The Detroit Pistons won the championship a few years ago, giving fans hope of revival.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the team began to decline again. Although it still achieved a record of 39 wins last season and entered the playoffs, it was swept out by James' Cavaliers in the first round.

However, the opponent's personnel have changed this season. Allen Iverson has been sent away and several backcourt players have been added. Moreover, the main players are still suffering from injuries. Richard Hamilton should not play in this game.

"I don't like the city of Detroit very much, and I don't like the Pistons' playing style even more."

After arriving at the hotel, Guigui started to complain. Rookies generally don't like this place. The Pistons' home style is a bit tough.

The style of play throughout the Eastern Conference is almost based on muscle confrontation.

Guigui was very uncomfortable being restricted in his rookie season last year. He is not afraid of confrontation, but it is easy to get ironed if there are too many confrontations.

"I don't like this way of playing either, but the league encourages confrontation. Look at their games against the Lakers in previous years. Defense can indeed win championships."

Durant was very honest and told the truth.

"I think tomorrow's game will definitely be difficult. The Pistons are full of physical strength. I hope they feel cold."

Li Ze just hopes to get more badge experience. Several of his badges are about to be upgraded.

The Auburn Hills Palace Arena, home of the Pistons, can accommodate nearly 20,000 spectators. On the night of the 30th, Detroit fans had already filled the arena.

Li Ze could feel the fans' support for the Pistons during the warm-up. After all, they won the championship a few years ago and defeated the Lakers with a gorgeous lineup.

Coach Brooks has placed more trust in the veterans since the start of the regular season. Maynor and Byron have all fallen out of the rotation.

"Kevin, you must move the ball more. The opponent must defend you specifically. Prince is an elite defender. Don't force your attack."

After Brooks made chicken soup as usual, he started to tell the players to pay attention to things.

When the DJ at the scene started shouting, the Thunder team also came on stage one after another. What made Li Ze interesting was that when his name was read, a small number of boos appeared.

"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong." Li Ze complained helplessly in his heart.

After the last game, ESPN gave him another blow. Stephen A praised him lavishly. Li Ze seriously suspected that his agent Chapman had given him a red envelope.

The Pistons’ on-site commentator also teased Li Ze:

"Kayce will definitely not like it here. The Palace of Auburn Hills is a graveyard for rookies. I bet he won't even score 10 points today. This is not the Western Conference for weaklings."

Li Ze still came on as a substitute today. He had a hunch that there would be no garbage time today.

"Come on, Bro!" Li Ze stepped forward and fist bumped with his teammates in greeting.

"The game has officially started, and the Thunder are lucky to have the offensive ball!" the Pistons commentator was full of fire.

The Pistons' starting lineup has changed a lot, with Ben Gordon partnered with Rodney Stuckey in the backcourt, Tayshaun Prince and Charlie Villanueva on the front lines, and Ben Wallace at center.

After halftime, the Turtles found that the opponent's defense was very oppressive and the rotation was very fast. Without a good chance, they found Durant hand-to-hand.

Durant felt a little uncomfortable facing Prince's defense. The opponent was tall, long-armed, good at physical confrontation, and full of strength. This made it impossible for Durant to get rid of the defense easily.

Fortunately, after barely breaking through, he found Sefolosha on the outside, who caught the ball and made a mid-range jumper.

"Shua" the ball hit the net hollowly, opening up the situation for the Thunder.

Coach Brooks has seen the team's offensive problems, but there is no way. You can't expect every team to be like the Kings.

The Pistons' offensive rhythm is very slow. They are experienced and patient in sharing the ball. There are 10 seconds left in the attack time. Ben Gordon receives the ball from the outside and gently shakes the turtle away.

A mid-range jump shot with one move

"Shua" the 2-point ball was scored steadily.

The fans at the scene immediately gave the home team a huge cheer.

After the Thunder's offense passed half court, they started a pick-and-roll with Kostic, accelerated past Rodney Stuckey, and went straight to the basket.

Ben Wallace's defense was timely and he made a small move during the confrontation, which caused the Turtle to lose focus and strike out in anger.

Ben Wallace collected the rebound and passed it directly to Prince to initiate a transition attack. The Thunder retreated a beat late.

Prince drove straight into the basket and made steady progress against Sofolosha who was returning to defend. He relied on his height advantage.

After the Thunder made a few offensive hits, the Pistons used the positions they were good at to attack, slowly expanding their advantage in the game.

The pace of the game was very slow. More than 6 minutes into the first quarter, the Thunder trailed by 6 points, 12-18.

When Brooks saw that the team was in trouble, he called out Li Ze directly:

"Kayce, try to speed up the game after coming on the court. We need to increase the number of rounds."

"No problem, coach." Li Ze replied immediately, while secretly thinking:

"After this game, the [Rhythm Shooter] badge should be able to be upgraded, which is really exciting."
