God of basketball

Chapter 226 0226: [New York Interested]

After Li Zhen confirmed that there was no problem on the bench, he stepped onto the court 2 minutes later.

At this point, the Knicks have re-expanded the score to 12 points.Isaiah Thomas also took advantage of the trend to replace Stephen Marbury, Eddie Curry, Quentin Richardson and other main players.

Instead, Steve Francis, Jeff Reese, David Lee and Channing Frye were replaced, plus Jamal Crawford, who has been eye-catching.

Isaiah Thomas has been cultivating young people, like David Lee, Jeff Rees, Channing Frye and even Nate Robinson are all in his long-term plan: because after so many garbage contracts, he can only work on rookies.

But it looks like... none of his draft picks have the makings of a good defensive player.

Li Zhen's first ball after re-entering the field was straight into the penalty area, and he hit the basketball into the basket with an elegant backhand layup.

Steve Francis, who was defending him at the top of the arc, was like a display in front of him. He didn't even understand what was going on, Li Zhen had already passed him by.

Francis is no longer the explosive boy who was full of explosive energy and could surpass 1.2 meters in a single jump.Since being traded to the Magic by the Houston Rockets, he has entered the fast lane of decline. Since joining New York, he has found his mother like a little tadpole.

Now, he has been completely reduced to a little fat man with slow movements, broken beats, dim eyes, and dull thinking.

Therefore, it is easier for Li Zhen to pass him than to cross the road in the early morning.

What surprised the Lakers coaching staff was: "Bruce's movements seem to be faster than before? Moreover, he had a confrontation with Channing Frye in the air just now, and his movements did not deform. He put the basketball into the basket steadily."

Brian Shaw said in amazement: "Could it be that Eddie Curry put all his strength on Bruce??"

Although he said it as a joke, the serious old Winter still gave him a blank look: "Channing Frye's confrontation ability is inherently weak. Don't make jokes about this kind of thing."

Forehead….

Brian Shaw quickly stopped talking.

At the same time, Li Zhen has taken the initiative to pick Jamal Crawford.

Crawford is a very strong chaotic master. His ball-handling skills and rhythm are very amazing. If he is not careful, he will be caught by him and then KO in one fell swoop.Whether it was Jordan Farmar or Smash Parker or even Sasha Vujacic before, it was ineffective when defending him.

However, when Li Zhen went up.

The savvy riddle meets the seasoned guesser.

Li Zhen can always predict opportunities and respond accordingly.

Moreover, there are Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown behind him.

Therefore, Jamal Crawford felt very uncomfortable for a moment, and his opportunity to penetrate inward was quickly lost.He can only make a pull-up jump shot... BOOM!

strike iron.

Although Li Zhen's jumping height is not enough, his jumping speed is amazing, and his long hands give him a strong interference.

"Look. This is Bruce's defensive ability. He has a great advantage over this kind of skillful and rhythmic attacker." Old Winter was full of praise on the bench.

This made Bynum, who was sitting behind him, very upset and anxious: Why not replace Marbury?Let Marbury go up and crush him with his body! !

While he was anxious, Li Chen had launched a swift offensive like a broken bamboo.He didn't even give Francis a chance to make contact, and when Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound, he had already rushed forward.

When he received the ball, as soon as Jeffries came up to defend, he quickly released the ball, and the basketball accurately found Radmanovic who ran out of the open space.

The European mercenary caught the ball open and easily hit a three-pointer... Shua!

The basketball's arrest quickly narrowed the score to 7 points.

This greatly increases Bynum's crisis: Is this about to turn the tide again?Francis what the hell are you doing?After all, he was a former All-Star and a guard who had received a maximum salary. Can you tolerate this guy being so unscrupulous in front of you?

Francis gave the answer with actions: yes.

Like a security guard clocking in to work, he passed the ball to Jamal Crawford across half court, and then ran to the top of the arc for a walk.

And Li Zhen has already switched to Crawford's side.

Crawford hated Li Zhen's defense very much, even though Li Zhen's defense never touched his body.But this guy's ghostly figure and cheetah-like sense of smell made him quite uncomfortable.

Also... who said that this guy's physical fitness is poor?Who said he couldn't move laterally quickly?

Jamal is having a hard time.

This time, he finally insisted on going his own way, relying on his slightly better explosive power and physical strength, he entered the paint area under the advantage of the offensive initiative.But then Eddie Griffin quickly made up the defense... He was so scared that he quickly handed in a flash, and after a quick step, he quickly passed the basketball.

But Francis didn't catch the ball steadily and was picked up by Vujacic.

At the same time, Li Chen has turned back quickly.

Vujacic, who was educated by Kobe Bryant, deeply understood the principle of 'let the leader go first' and quickly passed the basketball.Li Zhen received the basketball and went into the paint. David Lee faced him and fell into the defensive Rashomon.

But Li Zhen finally gave him a good time. After two steps deep and forcing David Lee to change direction, he threw the basketball into the sky, and Eddie Griffin came from the sky...Boom!

Another dunk.

7: 0.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

Isaiah Thomas hurriedly replaced Nate Robinson on the field in an emergency, and it would be unreasonable for Francis to walk around like this, even if the Knicks had a fifty-point lead.

Bynum was even more scratching his heart.He originally wanted to use this game to expose Li Zhen's true colors. After all, the right time, place and people are all on his side.

Who knew that he actually met Francis.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!This is just a technical adjustment.Marbury will come up soon, and Phil Jackson will definitely practice the triangle offense later, and Li Zhen will definitely not be able to play for long.As long as the Knicks win big, I can still get the desired results.

Andrew Bynum kept hinting to himself in his heart.

But he kept hearing praise from the coaching team in front of him. "Bruce Lee's defense is really good!" "Bruce is really a genius point guard, his passing is so beautiful." "If he had Kobe's physical fitness, he would be the number one point guard in the league!!"

The master of these words is all Brian Shaw.

What a slob.

Bynum kept slandering, and at the moment he hated Brian Shaw.

What he didn't know was that the legendary New York guard Fraser praised him even more blatantly in the commentary seat of the CBS national live broadcast. "Bruce's treatment of basketball is like the treatment of pasta by a chef at a Michelin restaurant." "If he joins New York, we can definitely change the current decline. He is a New Yorker!" "I would like to be the head of Bruce Lee's recruitment team."

Fraser's wanton praise even confused the audience: Is it really so good?He just hit a few good passes on the bad Knicks.

However, the views of the audience are not important.The important thing is... Knicks owner James Dolan, who was watching CBS, paid close attention to what the Knicks legend had to say.

Li Zhen's fights are full of appreciation, and there are always amazing moves.If he does come to the Knicks, he will definitely have a completely different chemical reaction from now, although it is very likely that the record will not improve much.But at least it will sweep away the current sluggish situation. He is a good boy. He is a talented student who can make the team's image more positive and win more reputation in this city.

Why don't we give it a try?

James Dolan made the call to the club president after Li Chen passed Nate Robinson again and set up Kwame Brown for a layup with a beautiful through ball.

He issued an order, he hoped that the team could get this potential new star through a trade, and he emphasized: any bargaining chip can be used.

The president on the other end of the phone, Donnie Walsh, was stunned: After Isaiah Thomas's "excellent" operations in the past few years, what bargaining chips do we have?

At the same time, James Dolan yelled at the TV again.

Because after Nate Robinson made a shot, Bruce Lee once again completed a beautiful assist. He used an exaggerated back turn to pass Little Potato, and then used a ground pass to penetrate Jeffries' pants block and pass the basketball to Radmanovich outside the three-point line. Radmanovich easily hit a 3-pointer.

The wonderful cooperation not only made James Dolan scream, but also the fans at the scene fell into the gorgeous performance.

They even forgot that the 3-pointer wiped out their lead.

The last 4 minutes of the first half were completely reduced to Li Zhen's personal skill show. Under the loose defense, he showed his unparalleled ball-handling skills and uncapturable passing imagination.

When the halftime whistle sounded.

68: 65.

In the away game, the Lakers went ahead by 3 points.

It is worth mentioning that Bruce Lee scored 8 points and 10 assists in limited playing time.

That's above average for him, plus his saves on the court.

Even if he didn't do anything in the second half, he has already won the trust.

Therefore, Andrew Bynum couldn't sit still.

On the way back to the locker room, he hinted at the old coach Winter: I think I can play in the second half.

But old Winter looked at him with a look of caring for the mentally retarded: What the hell are you playing?

"We didn't sign you up, and you won't be able to play in this game. You will play the Pistons in the next game, so please perform well."

Old Winter managed to say a peaceful word.

piston?

Bynum's head was buzzing, what's the difference between Detroit's restricted area and the sea of ​​swords and flames?

He finally realized that he might shoot himself in the foot.

At the same time, Stephen Marbury argued with Isaiah Thomas in the locker room. He believed that Thomas was deliberately targeting himself: "If you put me on the court, that kid will never be able to drive the Lakers' offense. I will make him feel uncomfortable and unable to move!!"

Marbury said swear.

However, the eyes of Nate Robinson and Crawford were a little strange, and they all felt that Marbury was too optimistic.

It was Francis who chimed in: Yes, yes, I don't think this guy is anything special.

Um? ?

Isaiah Thomas looked over. After making sure that Francis was not joking, he shook his head with a helpless wry smile.

At this moment, he really felt that he had sinned deeply.I looked at Eddie Curry who was eating KFC, Jerome James wearing western manicure, Quentin Richardson who took out his mobile phone and started taking selfies, and Francis, who was clearly unable to play but still bossy, and Marbury next to him said, "You are targeting me, the number one point guard in the world".

What have I been doing all these years?

The smiling assassin finally sighed.

He knows... if he doesn't let Marbury play next time, he will definitely go around saying that he has a small stomach.So, he simply told Marbury: "If you think you can limit Bruce Lee, then you can stay on the court in the second half."

When Marbury heard this sentence, he immediately became proud.

I even want to beat my chest and roar; I'm-the-king-of-NewYork!!
