The God of Basketball

After the game, Kevin Garnett, who left the Staples Arena on crutches, angrily claimed that he was cursed by mysterious oriental witchcraft: "I have no reason to be injured in that situation. The only explanation is that Bruce said to me Trash talk, and the next turn I hurt my left thumb."

The reason Kevin Garnett is so pissed is that he got hurt the next round after the trash talk.

He took a pass from Randy Foye, faked Eddie Griffin, stepped out with his left foot...and fell to the court.

He clutched his left foot in pain.

The slow-motion playback showed that it was not some oriental witchcraft that caused him to be injured, but his teammates. Ricky Davis ran right past him, and the heel of Ricky Davis' right foot landed on his instep because his long arms and legs made the stride too big.

At that time, he screamed and fell to the ground, causing Eddie Griffin to get a steal in vain, and assisted Li Zhen to complete the attack quickly.

Then, amid the cheers of the audience, the referee stopped the game.

Immediately afterwards, Kevin Garnett was sent out of the arena in an emergency. Although the final situation showed that the injury was not serious, it was only a slight fracture of the toe of the left foot, and there was no need for surgery, and it would be fine after two weeks of rest.

But he still has a grudge against Li Zhen, and he thinks it is because of Bruce.

If he didn't talk back and said some Chinese proverbs, I suggest you buy insurance yourself. It's impossible to get hurt yourself, if it's not witchcraft, it's the law of attraction.

He hated Li Zhen, and next time we meet, he must deal with Bruce severely! Only by blowing up this guy inside and out can he relieve his hatred!

However... he was talking about the next scene.

...

With Kevin Garnett injured, the Lakers continued to run wildly under the leadership of Bruce, but the Timberwolves, who had lost their backbone, fell into an environment of taking care of one thing and losing another. Ricky Davis tried to step up to the rescue but ended up missing 3 shots.

Mike James also tried to seize this rare opportunity to prove that he can become the second in command of the Timberwolves, but in the end he was blocked by Eddie Griffin for two consecutive times.

In the end, coach Dwayne Casey made a decision. He simply let Randy Foye, who played pretty well in the first half, lead the team to head-to-head with Bruce.

He gave Randy Foye the right to control the tactics and let him drive the rhythm.

Anyway, it's preseason now, winning or losing doesn't matter (already behind). And Garnett has already been injured, so what a mess, the Timberwolves will definitely not be able to resist after Kobe plays, so it is better to give young people a chance.

As a result, Randy Foye fell into the abyss.

In the absence of specific tactical guidance, he led the Timberwolves to run around like headless chickens.

Compared with the simplicity and clarity of the Lakers, the Timberwolves' style of play is chaotic.

Even Reggie Miller, who has been on Randy Foye's side in this game, can only bite the bullet and say: "Randy Foye's organizational skills are slightly less than Bruce's!"

"Is this slightly insufficient?"

McBrin was proud and unforgiving, he was preoccupied and said: "Bruce has led the team to play a 19:2 attack wave, and you still say that Randy Foye's organizational ability is only slightly insufficient??"

Reggie Miller said nothing.

The audience in front of the TV can see that the two are very different. Didn't you see that the fans at Staples Arena are almost as happy as Christmas?

They found a treasure.

Since the end of the third quarter, Bruce has led the offensive of the Lakers' bench lineup that can be described as gorgeous. He brought Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown back to life, Radmanovic found his peak state, and Vujacic's performance was also remarkable.

Although the opponent is a bit weaker, but... as a rookie, he can make such a sharp and smooth offensive, which is enough to prove that his future can be expected.

Anyway, the Lakers fans were already grinning from ear to ear.

If before this game, they complained about the team's risky move in the draft.

Now they just want to kiss Jenny Buss' fingernails: it smells so good!

Are we making crazy money?

Eddie Griffin and Bruce Lee were traded for only one first round, one second round plus a special transaction bonus and a role player who was ready to be fired a long time ago! !

What could be more profitable than this? ?

The laughter of the Lakers fans even affected the players on the court.

When Randy Foye heard the chants of 'Bruce' in the arena over and over again, and Li Zhen galloped away from him again and again, playing all kinds of passes, and continuously invading the penalty area to complete the top Basket, but I have nothing to harvest.

That kind of mood is more difficult than burning fire and adding salt to the wound.

What's more, he said so many big words before the game. If you say three rounds, let the world know who is the real No. 3 pick.

It's all right now, I have tried my best to create amazing attention for this game. It turned out that Bruce became famous.

The only thing I did on the court was let Lakers fans know how good Bruce was and pick up two contenders for him by the way?

The more Randy Foye thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

Finally, he made an aggressive move when Bruce broke through his defense again.

He gave Bruce a hard push.

Bruce fell to the ground on the spot.

Then boos from the audience hit like an explosion, and the anger of the Lakers fans was completely different from the opening. Now, they have all regarded Bruce as their sweetheart, and they must not be able to bear such a bad behavior under Randy Foye's nose.

And at this point, Eddie Griffin did what they most wanted to do.

The notoriously short-tempered striker rushed forward and gave Randy Foye a hard push, which knocked him to the ground on the spot.

Then, he raised his fist and continued to beat Randy Foye, saying something like 'kill you bastard'.

Fortunately, the referee hurriedly hugged his waist from behind.

The other two referees also quickly went up to stop Kwame Brown, who was also irritable.

Randy Foye was dragged out urgently by teammate Blount.

After a while of confusion, the court calmed down.

In the end, the referee gave a technical foul to Kwame Brown of the Lakers and Mike James of the Timberwolves. Eddie Griffin and Randy Foye were sent off the court.

No one expected that this battle of focus would end in a fight.

ESPN made a special storyboard at this moment. At the same time, they gave the picture of Randy Foye leaving sadly and Bruce sitting on the bench in a daze.

Then there is the data of the two. Randy Foye had 14 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and 6 turnovers. Bruce Lee had 10 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

"Randy Foye only got 2 points and 1 assist under the defense of Bruce. And all the data of Bruce was got on Randy Foye. In addition, Randy Foye also used two technical fouls on Bruce. .”

"It's clear now who is the better player."

Mike Brown concluded the matchup: "The No. 3 show is always the No. 3 show, and Bruce Lee had the last laugh."

When he finished speaking, ESPN's sideline reporters quickly ran to the Lakers bench to interview the'winner'.

When Li Zhen first entered the screen, he was doing strange stretching movements.

This makes the audience in front of the TV very puzzled.

But the reporter didn't care about this issue, but asked him the most direct question: "... Randy Foye complained about you before the game, but you played better than him tonight. Regarding this, you Is there anything you want to say to him?"

"There are two sentences. The first sentence is: I hope he will not do anything unrelated to basketball on the basketball court in the future. This is not good, and it will hurt him even more."

"Second, I know that many people, including him, have great doubts about my draft pick, and think that my physical fitness and confrontation ability are not good enough. But I want to respond with the words of a famous Chinese writer. There are shortcomings A fighter is a fighter after all!"

Bruce actually concealed the last sentence of this sentence, he didn't want to cause unnecessary verbal wars, because the second half of the sentence is: no matter how perfect a fly is, it is just a fly.

Li Zhen's answer made the reporter raise his eyebrows. He likes this kind of gentle but tough answer. Compared with those aggressive stars, this is obviously more in line with the NBA's desire to create an atmosphere.

"Lakers fans gave you the loudest and most sustained chants tonight. How do you feel about that? Knowing that before tonight, almost all Lakers fans were questioning the trades that management made on draft night."

The reporter continued to ask.

"I can understand their previous feelings. Human beings always have misunderstandings because they don't understand enough, but they will definitely get closer as they get familiar with each other. Thanks for their support, I will continue to work hard."

Bruce replied.
