Chapter 162 0160: [Newcomers in Los Angeles]

After an insignificant preseason game, the battle over the 'new generation of magicians' in Los Angeles has intensified.

The media always likes to create such gimmicks. They are keen to compare players in the same position, and then list one group after another of lifelong enemies.

Obviously, in the Southern California area.

The media helped Li Zhen get rid of his "enemy of life", Sean Livingston, like a man who played a role in the match.

However, it is not difficult to see from public opinion.More basketball experts believe that Sean Livingston has a better future because he has a clear size advantage and his shots are more accurate.And in this past game, even though the Clippers lost the game, the general media commentary tended to favor the third-year Livingston far more than the first-year Bruce. Bruce couldn't play 20 minutes, couldn't help the team in scoring, and most importantly...his defense looked terrible.

Under the heated media reports, the Clippers owner even went off in person. The guy who is known for being stingy said quite disapprovingly: "We don't need a box office player who is good at causing gimmicks. We need a superstar who can win. Sean is such a guy."

But everyone could see the sour taste in Sterling's mouth.

According to inside sources, the owner of the Clippers even personally encouraged his players to go to Hollywood to develop scandals, because the recent news about Bruce and Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen sisters really stole the limelight.As a result, Bruce's commercial value has risen sharply, and even the Lakers' tickets have been raised a level or two.

Sterling doesn't actually care about the team's record, he just needs the team's income to continue to increase, and various sponsors line up to find him.

But now, though, those basketball pundits think Sean Livingston is better.But it didn't bring money to the Clippers... Although Bruce has been criticized by various people, no one can deny that his commercial value is at the forefront of the NBA, and he even started to sell his own brand of sneakers.And now the response is not bad, at least his granddaughter has been waiting for the release date with all her heart, and is ready to snap up a pair as soon as possible... to become the most eye-catching kid on campus!

He actually made basketball shoes trendy and entered the campus.

This is the result of how other brands want it.

……

Li Chen is very immune to the remarks in the media that "praise Livingston and demean himself".

What really frustrates him is that Maggette of the Clippers complained in front of reporters: "Bruce Lee should do his own thing and make himself more physically fit. Instead of running over to influence Sean and instigate Sean to return to the bench to rest. Sean finally got enough playing time with his own efforts. He should go further and control it more firmly. Instead of returning to the bench to recuperate as he said."

These remarks clearly accused Li Zhen, and it was revealed that Bruce was instigating Livingston to rest more because of his inferior skills.

In this regard, the Clippers fans were quite excited. They accused Bruce Lee of being an insidious villain, who led their little magician to ruin, so that he could become the champion in Los Angeles.

In this regard, Li was really depressed. Obviously, he had good intentions. He caught the dangerous information from the positive energy and told Livingston the first time, but he was interpreted in this way.

Well, let it go.

Li Zhen didn't want to talk.

In addition to being beaten up by the Clippers with the heart of a villain, Li Zhen is another depressed thing. He obviously already has 10 talent slots, but... he has not been able to absorb the talent.

Maybe it's because the new season has just entered, the NBA players who have spent enough time in the offseason are all cultivating their bodies.Therefore, all the indicators of the body are still in the state after the game against the Timberwolves, and it is not known which naughty fallen person will provide himself with new talent energy next.

After the last preseason game, Li Zhen increased the amount of training, and he spent all his time in the gym and training hall.

Even if the signature shoes will be officially released in the United States on November 11, he knows better than anyone.The temporary gimmick is short-lived. The driving force that can really make the sales of sneakers get better and better comes from myself. Only when I play better and better on the court can the road become wider and wider.

So, what is more important than working hard to actively expand the "talent container" in the body?

当前，李真各项身体天赋的数值是：力量46（极限能达到50，因为从夸梅那儿弄了点高能量）、速度93、协调56、柔韧86、敏捷72、体能44（夸梅浓缩）、爆发力64、弹跳46（但是弹速极其惊人，从罗德尼卡尼那儿复制来的恐怖弹速）。

Generally speaking, hidden (flexible) talents are extremely outstanding.But the hard (dominant) talent is still visible to the naked eye.According to the barrel theory, it is no wonder that those expert commentators are belittling and bad-mouthing.

However, Li Zhen is not worried about the future at all.

He is very confident.As long as you work hard, sweat can irrigate talent.

Isn't it just practice?

Kobe Bryant was overwhelmed by Li Zhen. He had never seen a player who was more diligent than himself.In the past, he often sprayed blood on the players in team training games, frequently saying, "Have you seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?" But now, he has to exclude Bruce, and then say: Except for Bruce, which of you weak chickens has seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?

In a sense, this 'speech' of the Black Mamba has created another feeling within the team that 'Bruce Lee is becoming the No. 2 figure of the Lakers'.

It sounds ridiculous, how can a guy whose playing time is strictly controlled can become a No. 2 man.

However, many clues are showing this signal.Bruce has the team tied for the third most tactical route, and he also got the privilege of leading the team to play the rotation alone in the preseason.Phil Jackson looked at him with loving eyes, and Jenny Buss ran to the training ground every now and then to remind Bruce to rest more, and he was still growing.Even the manager of the public relations department has a smile on his face and always arranges various interviews for him.

There is also Magic Johnson, who even offered to come to the team to give Bruce Lee special training.

He is a magician, and he is the only meritorious player in the history of the Lakers who has received equity.It is much better than the treatment of the godfather Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.

No matter what capacity he makes such a statement, it means... Bruce is quickly becoming the new darling of the Lakers club.

This...of course makes the original favorite Andrew Bynum feel worried and terrified.Although he now has as many plays as Bruce, and the coaching staff has promised to give him more playing time this year.

But he was still upset.

Originally, the Lakers club 'only favored him', but now Bruce's status has been visibly improved by the naked eye.Can he not feel the crisis?

Kobe Bryant also gave him a bro, even gave him a car, and invited him to practice at home in the locker room over and over again.

Is this tolerable?

Kobe had never been so gentle with him.

Therefore, when he was training, he always targeted Bruce in various ways.

When Bruce speaks, he also purposefully rascals.

He made the contradiction known to everyone, and now the entire locker room knows that there is a gap between the two newcomers.

Interestingly, though.Phil Jackson doesn't immediately deal with it. He is a very good balance coach. He is good at using internal conflicts between players to create momentum, which makes both players better.

When the Bull Dynasty was established, there was also internal competition.

Later, during the Lakers dynasty, the core of the two teams even attacked each other.

None of this affected the team's success.

So... the way he took it was to let it go.

Let them develop.

As for Li Chen's "making things difficult" for Bynum, he was quite calm, and even felt that Bynum's behavior was quite naive.Maybe it'll be better if he grows up a bit.
