When a person's name keeps popping up in your ears, even if it's just some negative news.

You will still remember him deeply and pay attention to him subconsciously.

That's what NBA fans in America are going through with Bruce Lee right now.

Their attention has been concentrated by the overwhelming 'group ridicule', so even though Bruce hasn't played a single NBA game, he is already one of the top ten most famous players in the NBA.

In the words of Bill Duffy: "You are only short of a good sponsor now. Sell your sneaker brand to Nike, and they will definitely use a public relations company to clean it up for you. Look, Kobe around you is being How white it is!!"

"Moreover, they have raised the price to 25 million US dollars. Excluding your previous investment, you have already made a lot of money."

Bill Duffy always wanted outside help. Because he didn't want the negative public opinion environment to continue, especially after Ashley publicly confessed in the media, the basketball media increasingly believed that Bruce was not here to play at all, and their words became more vicious.

However, Li Zhen wants to rely on himself, and he wants to smash these stereotyped negative evaluations bit by bit through his own efforts.

He thinks he is capable of doing this.

However, Bill Duffy is full of worries for the upcoming preseason.

Because the Warriors' defense is too strong. And... Neither Baron Davis, who has not spoken, nor Monta Ellis, who has spoken, are not easy to use. Their styles of play all restrain Bruce.

Needless to say, the bearded captain is one of the strongest and best point guards in the NBA, and he has rich practical experience. Although he has never stood in the position of a 3 point guard, he has always been the dominant player in the NBA. A rough and strong man on one side.

Monta Ellis, Mississippi State's second-highest scoring total all-time, isn't great defensively. However, his speed, explosive power, jumping ability and even scoring ability are extremely top-notch. In this summer league, second-year student Monta Eisley ushered in an epic explosion. He averaged 365 points per game in nine games, breaking the multi- entry record. Many media have begun to include him in the discussion list of this year's "Most Improved Player", believing that he will shine under the old Nelson's tactical system.

Although Monta is a bit thin, Bibrus is still stronger.

And Bruce faced him without any physical advantage. Even the speed is actually between brothers. Maybe Bruce's speed is faster, but Monta Ellis's starting speed is definitely stronger, and his explosive power is at the top level of nba.

"Do you think you can avoid being dealt with badly by Monta Ellis?" Bill Duffy finally spoke his mind. He didn't want to put pressure on Bruce, but he had to let Li Zhen understand: "If you You played badly in the preseason, and you will suffer an unprecedented crisis of confidence. Also, the public opinion will never let go of this opportunity to mock you in person."

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders on the phone. He studied the video of the Warriors game last night and asked the editor to send him a video of Monta Ellis.

Although this year's Warriors team is strong and strong, there is a group of backbones with explosive athletic ability and extremely good at quick attacks.

But as long as the Lakers handle it properly, the possibility of winning this game is greater than that of the Golden State Warriors.

Moreover, he felt that his situation was not as pessimistic as the media made it out to be. He didn't think that Monta Ellis or Baron Davis would swallow him alive, leaving no bones left, as the media said.

"I will work hard!"

Bruce told Bill Duffy with a smile.

Then, Lakers staffers started coming over to remind the players to board the special plane to the Golden State Warriors.

Bruce was so excited about the upcoming game, he hung up the phone and walked to the plane quickly.

Bill Duffy on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly. Facing the invitation from Disney, he even considered himself more like an entertainment agent than a sports agent.

Sometimes, he even thought: just take Bruce and change careers. His popularity on entertainment channels is far higher than that of sports media.

...

Although Bruce never played at Oracle Arena, when he showed up here. He still received overwhelming cheers before the game. Many Chinese families even drove for two or three hours to come here to cheer for him. Many people wore crimson No. 10 jerseys to cheer for Li Zhen.

Chris Mullin was even more depressed seeing this scene.

It would have been nice if the Lakers hadn't stepped in in the draft. Bruce's mass base in Northern California is invincible, which will give a boost to the downturn in the ball market. Bruce led the crimson team to the finals in April this year, making him a legendary legend in the Bay Area, and his status in the eyes of Chinese audiences is comparable to that of Michael Jordan, and he is regarded as the pride of Asians.

This is where the North American Chinese gather.

Looking at the yellow faces all over the mountains and plains, Chris Mullin sighed. This is something that the Warriors Club has always expected to accomplish but failed to achieve. Most of the Chinese in the Bay Area are middle class, and they have sufficient spending power. But ... the Warriors have no incentive to buy tickets: It would be a different story if they got Bruce in June.

well!

Another sigh.

The game starts soon.

Golden State Warriors starting list is: Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Biedrins.

The Lakers sent Smush Parker, Kobe Bryant, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown.

From the perspective of the lineup, although the Warriors do not have a superstar like Kobe Bryant, their overall strength is not one or two points stronger than the Lakers. And except for Biedrins as a blue-collar center, the other four players all have the ability to play singles with the ball. Coupled with old Nelson's quick attack, if you don't pay attention, you will be shot to death.

Therefore, Phil Jackson specially emphasized before the game: You must firmly control the rhythm of the team and not be driven by them. It is even more impossible to let them rise.

Once the Warriors take off, even strong teams like the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, and Dallas Mavericks may not be able to hold back.

The best way to deal with it is to see-saw with them, expose their flaws in positional warfare, and then kill them one by one.

Smush Parker, however, clearly lacks this intelligence.

Born on the street, his view of the overall situation is pitiful, how does he know how to control the rhythm. He saw Byron Davis and the others rushing vigorously, and moved accordingly.

Moreover, he has an eagerness to perform tonight, especially his hand feeling is not bad today. So, even when Kobe stood up two or three times, he didn't pass the ball.

This made the Black Mamba extremely upset.

With Baron Davis hitting a 3 in the sixth minute, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He stared at Parker with his death stare, and Phil Jackson called a timeout at the right time.

Then, a voice appeared in the Oracle Arena: brue! eneedbrue! !

This sound first sounded from the Chinese area, and then spread to most areas of the arena.

Indeed, many people came for Li Zhen.

Now that the Lakers are calling a timeout, they certainly hope to see Bruce Lee next.

However, this made the Warriors quite unhappy. From their point of view, the home fans turned their backs. Why didn't they support us, instead they shouted the singer's name?

"The fans here are too bad, they will definitely not see the picture they want to see." Stephen Jackson said very unhappy.

"These cheering fans pissed us off." Baron Davis also walked over to talk to the old Nelson: "We have to give this kid some color."

But the old Nelson obviously didn't want these 'villains' under his command to take action, he just smiled and said: "Why bother with rookies, the preseason is not important at all."

As he said that, he even replaced Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis: "It's time for our rotation. Let the young players get familiar with the tactics."

Then, Stephen Jackson locked his eyes on Monta Ellis who was called by name: Although the core of the team is Baron Davis, the leader of the Golden State gang is Wusheng Jackson.

When the boss in the locker room cast a look of "Nai Yi Zu Te", Monta hurriedly looked solemn and nodded firmly. He almost didn't stand at attention and salute and say: Guaranteed to complete the task.

At the same time, the Lakers also made personnel adjustments.

When Phil Jackson replaced Bruce, he also replaced Eddie Griffin, and at the same time replaced Bill Walton with Radmanovich.

Originally, he wanted to replace Kobe Bryant together.

But Bryant insisted on escorting Bruce for a while.

So, the whistle sounded. The Lakers lineup is: Bruce Lee, Kobe Bryant, Radmanovich, Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown.

When Li Zhen stepped onto the court, he was immediately greeted by loud cheers.

His tense expression also relaxed.

In any case, starting your career in the Bay Area is something to be happy about.

But at this time, Monta Ellis came over: "Enjoy the cheers at this moment, this is probably the only time you enjoy applause in your career."

His tone was sharp.

This high school student didn't pay attention to the double high school students of Harvard and Stanford. After all, the competition here is basketball.

Li Zhen gave him a strange look.

He wasn't in the mood to continue arguing with Monta Ellis.

However, he couldn't hide his surprise. Because in the information he obtained before the game, Monta Ellis' height is 191, which is two or three centimeters taller than himself. But now standing in front of him, he was almost the same as him, even a little shorter.

Could it be that I have grown taller again?

No wonder Eddie Griffin said to himself before: "You should at least report your height as 192, otherwise many players will be embarrassed."

Now Bruce understands.

It turned out to be the case.

"Hey, catch the ball, Bruce!"

Eddie Griffin's voice had already been heard from the sidelines, and Li Zhen quickly ran back and caught the basketball.

His NBA journey has begun.
