The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 66 The Second Silver Badge (Sweet Zongzi Competition)
The bench battle between the two teams was tied, and in the remaining 5 minutes of the second quarter, the main players also played inextricably.

The Pistons made full use of their own experience and targeted defense to limit Durant, and the breakthrough was only given to the left, which made it very difficult for Durant to play the ball, and Prince did not give it for nothing.

As for the tortoise, basically I will give you a jump shot, but the important thing is that you rush inside, and the defense will be in place immediately. It just so happens that the referee's standard is relatively loose today, and the Pistons are at home, so it is difficult to make kills.

After the final half, the two sides played 48 to 48, ending in a tie.

In the first half, Durant made 10 of 4 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points and 4 rebounds. After playing in the second quarter, he was restricted enough and rarely shot.

Turtle made 5 of 1 free throws and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. He played very depressed and couldn't get in at all.
Fortunately, the role players all played well, coupled with Li Ze's firepower, this was able to tie the game and enter the second half.

In the Thunder locker room, Coach Brooks began to arrange the tactical arrangements for the second half.

"Russell, if there's a lot of open space, you should shoot confidently and punish their defense."

"Kevin, be more resolute in attacking, and make bold shots when opportunities arise. We must avoid falling into the opponent's position in hand-to-hand combat, and we must fight faster!"

"Kayce, continue to maintain your aggressiveness. When attacking, we must score quickly and efficiently. At the same time, everyone must pay attention to the protection of rebounds."

The coaching staff briefly reviewed the problems that occurred in the halftime for the players, which took a lot of energy from them.

"Russell, shoot when you have a chance in the second half. Don't rush inside. Today's scale is very loose." Li Ze comforted Guigui.

"No problem, I believe my hand feels, and it should be warmed up!" Guigui's attitude is very good, and he doesn't care about blacksmithing.

"I really hope to win the game quickly and return to Oklahoma City immediately. I really don't like the style of play of this team."

Durant is still technically advanced, and has not reached the level of crushing opponents with his body.

"I have to give the Thunder a thumbs up, they really nailed the score in the first half, but I still believe our Pistons will take care of them in the second half!"

The second half began immediately, and the home commentator also routinely tainted milk.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons played with the starting lineup.The Thunder's Li Ze was directly brought up, and Brooks' head coach wanted to strike first.

Ben Gordon went straight to the inside after the pick-and-roll, saw Jeff Green coming to defend, hit him directly, and then shouted:
"Ah" This scream means that he has been violated.

The "squeak" whistle sounded, and the referee signaled that Jeff Green was fouled by the thug.

Jeff Green looked helpless and didn't bother to explain. He was blown in the first half. The home whistle is a bit disgusting.

"Guys, you still have a lot to learn." Ben Gordon said while making free throws while talking trash.

"This is your home court, we can't learn your way of playing." Turtle shouted loudly behind Ben Gordon.

"Wow, looks like second-year Russell is in a hurry, guys, I said the Pistons are going to crush them."

The home commentator took the opportunity to walk fart.
The Thunder team attacked, and Li Ze made a gesture to his teammates after receiving the ball, signaling Jeff Grindel to cover for everyone. In the second half, they focused on Charlie Villanueva.

Although the opponent is also 211cm tall and has a big bald head, in fact, this guy's defense is not that good.

After consecutive hand-to-hand passes, Durant got a chance. He directly got rid of Prince through the screen, and faced Villanueva's defense, he directly changed direction.

After shaking the opponent's defensive center of gravity, he stopped and shot a jumper.

"唰" made a steady hit in the middle distance.

Li Ze immediately signaled that the ball was played beautifully, and then called everyone to retreat.

The Pistons' defense rotates quickly, and they're good at guarding opposing stars, but that doesn't mean they don't have weaknesses.

After Ben Gordon broke through, he found Prince, who caught the ball and made a breakthrough, and then made an emergency stop and scored in the middle distance.

Durant immediately indicated that the ball was his problem, and he didn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

After halftime, Guigui played a hand-off pass with Durant. Li Ze passed the cover of Krstic and went to the low post again.

Rodney Stuckey didn't dare to defend too far, for fear of being missed by one step, but Li Ze took a tentative step and directly made a jump shot.

"Shua" steadily scored in the middle distance.

Li Ze looked at the other party calmly, and Rodney Starkey felt a little helpless.

Jason Maxhill has been beaten by Li Ze and he can't play, and he doesn't have a good way on the defensive end.

The Thunder began to speed up their offensive rhythm, and the Pistons ground their offense. As long as they hit the iron, they would go all out, and if they had no chance, they would find the advantage of the matchup through screens for singles.

Now the offensive space on the court is very good, and Kostic can also eat steadily.

The Thunder took turns attacking the opponent's defense from the outside, especially Li Ze and Durant, who played almost indiscriminately. No matter who was defending, they could always find a way to attack.

When you hit the iron, grab the offensive rebound and try to prevent the Pistons from turning into a transition offense.

The pace of the game is accelerating bit by bit, and the head coach of the Pistons still has no effect after a timeout. This is how offensive talent crushes you.

No matter how fast you rotate, I can score the ball one-on-one. Except for the tortoise, who is a bit hard, everyone else played well.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Thunder also carried out a rotation, replacing the poor-feeling Turtle with Sefoloza. At the same time, the inside rotation was also carried out, and Ibaka made his debut again.

In this lineup, Li Ze completely became the No. 1 position. After halftime, he directly played a pick-and-roll with Ibaka, and Ben Wallace directly stepped forward to delay Li Ze.

Li Ze was not in a hurry, and directly pulled Ben Wallace out, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back.

Ben Wallace wanted to step forward to steal the ball, but Li Ze made a quick turn with his right hand and directly passed the opponent's defense. Facing the substitute Kwame Brown, he made a light layup with a European step.

The opponent was stunned and stared at Li Ze as he scored the ball.

"Shua" broke through like a lightning bolt.

"Shh!!!"

There were boos from the audience, it seemed that Li Ze's goal completely angered them.

"Hey rookie, you gotta watch out!"

After Ben Wallace was wiped out, he couldn't hold back his face, and started yelling at Li Ze loudly.

"Dude, what are you paying attention to? You can't guard against me at all." Li Ze said loudly while retreating.

This sentence made everyone in the Pistons angry. In the next few minutes, the actions of the two sides became significantly larger, and they frequently walked to the free throw line.

With 16 seconds left in the third quarter, the Thunder led the Pistons by 72 points 66 to 6. On the last attack, the opponent still had a chance to narrow the score.

Will Bynum pressed time for the final attack. Eight seconds later, he hit the basket with a pick-and-roll. Jeff Green's rotation was a step slower. Seeing that the opponent was about to make a layup, Ibaka took off directly from behind.

A big hat that covered the head and face directly fanned the ball out of bounds.

"what!!!"

After the block, Ibaka beat his chest and roared. In this game, he was terribly defended by Ben Wallace, and he had been playing hard. This block was a release of himself.

This also helped the Thunder hold on to their lead.

Li Ze also began to gasp for breath during the inter-section break. The continuous breakthroughs and singles in the third quarter consumed a lot of his energy.

At this point, Durant is the same, both of them sat on the chairs and started talking.

"Russell, pay attention to the opportunity to switch offenses. If you have the opportunity, you must make a resolute shot and don't hesitate!"

"Okay, coach!" Turtle, the stamina monster, is still full of energy, this guy is not sweating, right?
Perhaps it was the law of character conservation that broke out. In the fourth quarter, Guigui broke out. After playing, the opponent defended him and made a breakthrough. As a result, Guigui scored two three-pointers in two rounds and beat the Pistons.

There is a basket on the outside, and the breakthrough is easier. A successful breakthrough, a kill and a stop to the free throw line, Guigui scored 10 to 0 alone, and the point difference became 16 points.

Li Ze was dumbfounded on the bench, that's okay, these few goals are really unreasonable.
In this way, halfway through the fourth quarter, Li Ze led the substitutes to play for fish. After hitting a mid-range shot, his mind was shaken and he was overjoyed:

"Hey, I finally got the second silver achievement badge!"
