God of basketball

Chapter 204 0203: [Coach, I want to play]

ESPN's three commentators today are senior commentator Mike Breen, former famous NBA superstar Reggie Miller, and Steve A. Smith, who has just transformed from a basketball reporter to a ball commentator.

Reggie Miller's point of view is very clear. Before the start of the show, he repeatedly mentioned that Bruce was blown up by Chris Paul and Deron Williams in the first two games.At the same time, he claimed that the contract given by Nike is simply terrible: this is too unfair to other superstars under Nike, which is tantamount to using the money earned from LeBron, Kobe and others' signature shoes to give to Bruce Lee.

And he predicted: "Bruce will be mercilessly beaten by the angry Arenas."

Interestingly, the little-known Steve A. Smith sitting next to him has a different opinion. This black man who has already made a name for himself in the reporter circle said seriously: "Actually, I watched the first two games. Bruce is the only bright spot of the Lakers. When he was on the court, the Lakers took the lead. His problem is that his physical fitness can only support him for about 15 minutes. If he can play the whole game, he will be a well-deserved elite player."

"Also, according to Nike's announcement. Their cooperation is not an endorsement model, but Nike has invested in his company. If other players feel uncomfortable about this, they can also set up their own sneaker brand, invite the best designers in the industry to do sneaker design, and then find an OEM to make the product themselves, and find a channel to launch the market, and the first batch of sales will be sold out!"

"Many NBA players have neither concept nor reverence for business. They only know jealousy. But jealousy can't bring anything. The contract between Bruce and Nike has officially come into effect. From a commercial point of view, any sound they make now is to promote Li Zhen's brand."

Steve A. Smith speaks with a different tone.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, he said that Bruce was the best point guard in the 2006 class.However, what ushered in was criticism from colleagues.

He didn't care about that.

It is precisely because of this that he got this opportunity to be on the TV station.

That's why now, he doesn't care that Reggie Miller, who is sitting next to him, used to be an NBA superstar. He just wants to express his thoughts... As a commentator, if he doesn't even dare to output his own opinions, but echoes other people's arguments, what is the difference from a rotten egg.

The contrasting opinions of the two commentators raised the audience's anticipation.

……

But, the game begins.Li Zhen did not start the game.

This caused many viewers in front of the TV to break their glasses, and the fans in the Staples Arena even booed that they couldn't agree.

But there is no way, the Zijin Army is so conservative in using Li Zhen.The coaching staff headed by Phil Jackson simply ignored the turbulent public opinion from the outside world. In Zen Master's opinion...now is far from the time for a confrontation, so let Kobe Bryant deal with Arenas first.

Kobe couldn't bear Arenas' ravings at all, even though he played with an injury today.

But as soon as he came up, he opened up a single-handed posture with Arenas.

The first goal of the game was a mid-range jumper with a gorgeous step from the left 45 degrees and an elegant fadeaway.

Peter Pan is truly extraordinary.

Even though there was a fierce conflict with Kobe on the court, Reggie Miller still praised him on TV: "Kobe is the player with the most offensive means in the league today."

However, Reggie Miller just finished speaking.

Arenas returned to the half with an unreasonable pull-up jumper in return for 3 points.

His answer-ball was sharp and arrogant. After scoring a goal, he still raised his hands and kept showing them, signaling that the booing at the Staples Arena could be louder.

Arenas, nicknamed the General, was as domineering as ever.

He enjoys the feeling of being an enemy of all audiences. He is used to setting himself in a situation of "isolation and helplessness", and then fighting out with a passion and arrogance: this only satisfies his imagination of heroism.

But Kobe Bryant was born unbelieving. Looking back, he immediately started to single-handedly work, and soon reached the paint area, and succeeded in a pull-up layup.

The game quickly turned into a scoring show for the two.

Arenas felt very good tonight, and he hit various difficult jumpers one after another.Although his strong upper limbs don't seem to match his slender lower limbs, they bring him powerful strength and amazing explosive power at the same time.

Coupled with the shooting he has practiced day after day, he seems to be a bit omnipotent.

By contrast, Peter Pan was a big hit tonight.Although his finger injury did not affect his athletic ability, it did have a considerable impact on his touch.When he failed to hit the basketball twice in a row, he had to switch to attacking the basket and causing damage.

Heywood and Jamison, the Wizards' two big insiders, were both very uncomfortable by him. After the first quarter, they got 3 fouls and 2 fouls respectively.

This brought great strategic damage to Washington.

However, the Wizards have a big victory in the score.

35: 26.

The leading score almost reached double digits, and Kobe Bryant only ended with 2 points in a single quarter, while Arenas scored 15 points.

When he was off the court, he even told Kobe arrogantly: "My goal tonight is to score 82 points!!! I am here for the highest scoring record in active service."

This made Peter Pan very annoyed.

Back on the bench, he immediately said to Phil Jackson: "Bruce Lee must play with me at the same time. He is my best helper."

His voice was hasty and full of resentment, thinking that Phil Jackson was acting aggressive again, and people are bullying him, why are you keeping a low profile!Put on the strongest lineup and do it directly, isn't it over?

But Phil Jackson frowned.He felt that Arenas was still physically strong, and if Bruce was put on the court rashly, he would be easily bumped into an accident!

His idea is to let the other Lakers players consume Arenas' physical energy first, and then let Li Zhen play the duel.

Only in this way, Bruce will not be so ugly on the scene.

Zen Master loves and cares for Li Zhen from the bottom of his heart, so he even asked Kobe to do... this kind of dirty work that consumes energy.

In his heart, the outcome of this game is far less than Bruce Lee's health and decency.

But this time.

But Li Zhen came over, stared at Phil Jackson very seriously, and said a sentence that was even written into Phil Jackson's autobiography many years later: "I hope that in 20 years, when I look back on my basketball career, I will have a smile on my mouth, and it will sigh softly. Two roads diverged in a forest, and I chose the one with less travel and more thorns."

"My mother also came to the stadium today. She told me a word when I was very young, if you cherish your feathers too much and don't let it get a little bit damaged, then you will lose your two wings and you will never be able to fly in the air."

"So, sir."

"I want to play."

Li Zhen's words were very calm from beginning to end. He didn't roar wantonly, and he didn't clenched his fists to express his fanatical emotions.He just stood there with firm eyes.

Phil Jackson was convinced.
