Live broadcast across the United States, the Thunder were beaten by the Lakers. The most direct impact was that Durant's Player of the Week award was eliminated.

Originally, everyone wanted to score more points for Durant during the game, but Tie Ma opened the door for Tie, and Tie got it right, shooting 5 of 19. In the end, he finished the game with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers.

Li Ze's own statistics were pretty good, 7 of 15, 2 of 4 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 turnovers. It was mediocre and he basically contributed his firepower.

Turtle played the best, shooting 8 of 14, 1 of 2 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 turnovers, once again beating the poor old fish Fisher.

Tomorrow, the Thunder will fly to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz away from home. After this away game, the Thunder can go home. They will have 5 consecutive home games. Oklahoma City fans can't wait.

At the end of the night, because the Lakers were broadcast live across the United States, the game became quite a hot spot, especially after seeing the power of the Lakers' twin towers again, many media outlets already shouted:

"Lakers championship!"

On tnt's side, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley from the back are also commenting on this game.

"Guys, do you still remember what I said before? The Thunder's record will have huge ups and downs. It will be difficult for them to win against the Western Conference playoff teams. Look at this game, who is questioning me!"

The more Buckley talked, the happier he became. By the time he finished speaking, he was already smiling.

"Charles, it's normal to lose to the Lakers. They are the defending champions. They have Gasol and Bynum on the inside, Kobe and Artest on the outside, and Fisher is an experienced veteran!"

"The Thunder are all rookies, e on! We can't be so strict with young people, they are still growing!"

Kenny Smith still supports the Thunder, and talented young people always get preference.

"I agree with some of your points, but it's hard for the Thunder to make the playoffs. They lack a big man. Kostic's defense is terrible. Look at Jeff Green. This guy frequently shoots three-pointers from outside.

point!"

"Man, you are a power forward. You need to destroy your opponent in the low post, grab 10 rebounds and block 2 shots per game. This is what a power forward should do!"

Barkley turned around and criticized the Thunder's big man.

"But you can't deny that the Thunder's offensive space is better when Jeff Green is on the court. This is their tactical system and they have succeeded."

Kenny Smith directly threw out the data and put the plus and minus values ​​on the big screen.

"That's why I insist that the league's playing style is getting softer and softer. Can you imagine a scene in the future when the low post disappears and everyone goes out and still scores three points? God, no one likes to watch that kind of game!"

The tough guy Barkley couldn't help but complain about the league's playing style.

"Then all I can say is you're out of date, man! There's nothing wrong with efficient scoring. The ratings are increasing every year, which shows that the audience likes the current game."

"No one likes to watch a game where the ball is still floating outside. This is a men's sport, and the game requires the collision of muscles!"

The two commentators on tnt became more and more crooked as they chatted, and they completely entered into mutual strife mode...

On the plane flying to Salt Lake City the next day, everyone continued playing Texas Hold'em and chatting, when Durant suddenly complained:

"Kayce, you're right. I really shouldn't read Twitter. I just lost a game and a bunch of people came to hack me!"

"Just ignore them. They are a bunch of boring guys. They don't understand basketball at all. They just want to troll people."

Li Ze looked at the cards in his hand with a frown on his face, and expressed his opinion by the way.

"You are too generous. I have led the discussion group all night long and directly sprayed them until they stopped replying. No one can defeat me on Twitter!"

"Alas!

!”

Hearing Durant's words, everyone collectively booed. Ever since Li Ze gave him the idea to set up a discussion group on Facebook, Durant has been going crazy on Twitter and has now become popular.

.

The Utah Jazz have had a mediocre record since the start of the season and are currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference with 7 wins and 6 losses. However, as the season progresses, the Jazz's condition is getting better and better.

Old coach Jerry Sloan also discussed the characteristics of the Thunder's playing style with the coaching staff before the game, and finally concluded that we also have advantages inside!

Boozer and Okur are experienced and capable inside and outside, coupled with Deron's organization and scheduling, and regular play style, they are enough to defeat the Thunder.

Therefore, the Jazz did not do too many targeted training and tactical arrangements before the game. They just briefly talked about hitting the ball inside.

On the night of November 24th, after a boring Thanksgiving in Salt Lake City, everyone in the Thunder team couldn't wait to play the game after a day's rest.

"Every time I come to Salt Lake City, I'm bored to death. To be honest, I don't like playing here. Some fanatical white fans always yell some insulting language!"

Durant has been bored and engaged in intense dialogue on Twitter every night for the past two days.

"I've heard that the Jazz's home refereeing has always been controversial. Have you felt this in the past?"

Li Ze was very curious about whether the Jazz really "doesn't foul".

"Kevin kept losing during his rookie season, and I kept losing last year. This question should be asked to Collison. He has been on the team the longest and should know these things."

Turtle told the truth, and inadvertently revealed sad things from the past.

Li Ze was a little speechless when he heard this. Well, he almost forgot that the Thunder team messed up before...

"Okay, guys, we have to play more pick-and-rolls in this game, follow the plan customized before the game, and try to speed up the offensive rhythm!"

Coach Brooks has temporarily given up on the bankrupt version of the triangle offensive tactic. Turtle and Durant are not good at complex off-the-ball movements, and it takes a lot of time to adapt to the tactic.

The most important thing is that once Li Ze finishes the offense too much, the team's operation will be much sluggish.

Therefore, after some discussion, the coaching staff decided to let Li Ze take more control of the team. The defense was hopeless, so it was up to the offense.

The game started immediately, and the home DJ began to introduce the team with a roar, and at the same time arouse the emotions of the audience.

As soon as he came on the scene, Li Ze could already feel the atmosphere of Salt Lake City during the regular season, which was noisy and had some C language from time to time.

"It's really the home ground of Iron Blood. Let's say hello when we come up. No wonder everyone doesn't like playing here."

Li Ze looked around and greeted the fans with a smile on his face, causing several grumpy old men to spit out sweet things.

Durant looked on with a smile and asked simply:

"How do you feel, bro? It is said that the playoffs are more scary here. 20,000 people will scold you. Anyway, I have never experienced it."

"It's not bad. I think everyone is very enthusiastic, but their way of expression is a little special."

Li Ze shrugged and teased the fans with a smile, which made everyone in the Thunder team laugh out loud.

Both sides in this game have regular starting lineups. The Jazz are paired with Deron Williams and Wesley Matthews in the backcourt, Ronnie Brewer and Carlos Boozer are at the forward, and May is the center.

Mitte Okur.

The Thunder's backcourt consists of Turtle and Li Ze, forwards Durant and Jeff Green, and center Krstic.

There are not many changes in the starting lineup of both sides, with Kostic and Okur jumping in the middle.

"Snapped..."

"Very good, Okur successfully got the ball for us in the first attack, and Deron quickly dribbled the ball through the half court."

The Jazz's home commentator took advantage of this time to quickly introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

After Deron passed half court, he first played a pick-and-roll with Okur. Since Okur had a 3-pointer, Kostic also defended him. At this time, Boozer was already asking for the ball in the low post.

Deron hit the ground and passed the ball to Boozer. Facing Jeff Green's defense, Boozer hit him with his back, ran to the basket, turned around and shot.

"Shua..." Scored 2 points easily.

The two are the same height, but Boozer is 10kg heavier than Jeff Green. They are not on the same level...

Li Ze saw this situation from the side and could only sigh helplessly:

"Here we go again, can't these teams in the West change their style of play..."
