The God of Basketball

The Washington Wizards have definitely been a spoiler in the Eastern Conference for the past two years. Although everyone knows that they cannot have the strength to win the championship, but under the leadership of Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antawn Jamison, the troika, Definitely an opponent that no team wants to face.

In the playoffs last year, after LeBron James led the Cavaliers to defeat the Washington Wizards, he was once called the new king.

In a sense, the Wizards play the role of a touchstone of strong teams in the league.

As long as you defeat it, then...you will automatically get the title of strong team.

This is what Li Zhen thinks now.

However, what is before us is the only strong team in the league with three players averaging 20 points per game. Unlike the Knicks' three perimeters, Washington's three perimeters are truly three All-Star perimeters.

How to play.

Li Zhen racked his brains.

At this time, it was Stephen Marbury who came over and woke him up: "Basketball is not that complicated. There will always be only one basketball on the court. As long as we hit more basketballs than them, there will be absolutely no problem."

This sentence is like enlightenment.

Yes, isn't the essence of basketball just to compete who can hit more basketballs? Why think so much!

Travel light.

Do it.

...

After arriving in Washington, the Knicks immediately felt a different game atmosphere. The local TV has already started broadcasting the warm-up of the two games, and the newspapers and magazines have repeatedly published Arenas' rhetoric.

The atmosphere of the war was extremely strong.

It seems to be at the level of the playoffs.

Even the smell of gunpowder is stronger than the playoffs.

At least in the playoffs, few players will blatantly name and attack. "We will dissect Bruce Li, and the clumsiness hidden under his gorgeous face will be revealed one by one. He doesn't deserve those flowers and applause. He can't be sought after by those ignorant women forever."

"it's time!"

Caron Butler even looks like a holy preacher on television.

He speaks righteously.

"I don't like him, he's a sanctimonious man."

Marbury told Li Zhen after seeing the interview video of Caron Butler on the team bus: "He is the real weakness. He doesn't have a peaceful mind. Don't look at his teeth and claws now. Once he suffers setbacks in the game , This kind of person is very likely to take risks."

"So, you have to be careful that he gets angry and makes black hands."

Marbury spoke up.

He now has a video call with Professor Li every night, and he does have a little bit of a gentleman's demeanor that he will not change his color before the mountain collapses. Although other gentlemen are as gentle as jade, but he is as dark as black iron.

Under the black hand?

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows.

He really didn't think about it. When Marbury said this, he really looked forward to it.

There was even a little bit of joy, as if a villain was shouting in my heart: lei, lei.

"We who play basketball should be just and awe-inspiring, and win with kingly ways, not these insidious schemes." Marbury went on to say, and reflected: "I didn't understand these principles before, so those karma were fed back to me. It’s been a disastrous few years. Now, I’ve finally come to my senses.”

Er... karma?

Does Professor Li still teach Buddhism?

Li Zhen felt that Marbury's learning was a bit complicated.

However, this is also good.

He likes the current Marbury, although he is getting more and more fanciful,

But people and animals are harmless, and they are becoming more and more selfless on the court. Although occasionally he will return to his original nature, but he will soon be able to tie the heart ape and keep the Lingtai clear.

Sometimes, Li Zhen even wanted Crawford to learn from Professor Li.

This guy is just too tenacious by nature. If you play three outside tactics with him, the basketball will never come out in his hands. He didn't do it on purpose, it was just by nature.

When he feels good, there is absolutely no problem.

When the hand feels bad, it is basically equivalent to a black hole.

In this regard, Li Zhen is not good at talking about him. After all, the two have a very good personal relationship now, and they often discuss the issue of shooting accuracy after the joints are fully opened, although occasionally Crawford will also suggest that Li Zhen meet with the founder of Playboy. Category. But in general, shooting is still mostly discussed.

After all, Li Zhen's shooting is also a big problem now.

His current scoring methods basically rely on his amazing speed and league-leading explosive power to penetrate into the penalty area to score points. Shooting this thing... It depends on the sky to eat, if you have milk, you are a mother!

...

When Anne Hathaway, who was filming in Washington, said that she would go to the arena to watch the Wizards Knicks battle, this once again triggered a burst of public opinion. And, of course, the taunts from Knicks fans and Caron Butler.

"Bruce's stealing ability is all reflected in prying away other people's girlfriends."

"At least Bruce can hold Anne Hathaway and cry after losing."

"I hope that Anne Hathaway's big mouth can tolerate the little fox and suffer from his love."

"When it comes to letting someone else's girlfriend cheer for you, Bruce Lee is the best in the league."

"..."

A local TV station in Washington even made a vicious interview video. Although the quality of these Wizards fans is not high, the way they breathe out their fragrance is really strange. The finale was Caron Butler. Butler looked at the camera with a smirk on his face. He emphasized: "I have one more task for this game. I have to let the lost Anne Hathaway know that she abandoned her boyfriend and fell in love with him." What kind of a softie is her man. She should see all this clearly. "

In an interview with ESPN, Caron Butler also said this paragraph.

This All-Star fringe player is really a representative of the lack of creativity.

But this still wins a lot of talk for ESPN commentators before the game.

"The Wizards and Bruce have no way out now. Caron Butler and Arenas have put the two sides on opposite sides. Tonight can even be said to be a battle of luck. If Bruce wins, He will be recognized as a real All-Star, while Caron Butler will likely become a joke, and Arenas' status will be greatly reduced, after all, he has suffered a loss in the All-Star Game before."

Bill Walton said on TV: "None of them can afford to lose. There is no way out."

"Yes, I didn't expect anyone to talk trash so absolutely." McBrin also expressed his approval. He felt that both sides played too much. No matter what, there would not be such a big grievance. .

"Honestly speaking, this is completely a unilateral act of the Wizards. Bruce didn't provoke them. They have been criticizing Bruce, saying that Bruce can't do this or that. This time they even use Anne Hathaway to speak out, which is too disrespectful. gone."

Even Reggie Miller, who has been targeting Li Zhen Reggie Miller, feels that the Wizards have gone too far at this time.

This is clearly bullying.

but.

He analyzed it from a professional point of view, and still believed objectively: "Bruce will be very uncomfortable in this game. The past two games have proved that he can't get rid of strong defenders. Once Arenas is fully invested in defense, he will be very quiet and Tough. The most important thing is that the three-outside lineup that the Knicks have used in recent times will be overwhelmed by the Wizards' true troika, and the Knicks have no hope."

"Also. If Anne Hathaway is watching TV, she should cancel the game. It will put a lot of pressure on Bruce Lee, and the whole arena will be against him because of the home fans."

Reggie Miller heartily suggests.

However, his voice just fell. Anne Hathaway appeared next to the court.

She actually dressed up tonight, and she seemed to be attending the Oscars in a long dress.

And her bright and beautiful appearance instantly aroused boos and ridicules in the Washington Arena.

But it seemed that Anne Hathaway was not disturbed, and she was still smiling. He even waved boldly to Li Zhen who was warming up on the court.

The mental quality is extremely strong.

On the contrary, this made Li Zhen a little uncomfortable. He obviously had no scandal with her at all, but he felt a little bit guilty after being teased by him like this.

Where does this follow.

Why did you find me!

Student Li Zhen was speechless.

However, he soon got good news.

Crawford ran over excitedly and told him: "Hey, Bruce. Our experiment can continue. I feel that my joints are particularly loose tonight. In fact, my hands are also very good."

As he said that, he didn't forget to make a super long-range three-pointer.

Swish!

A shot that was 3 meters away from the three-point line actually went in.

Li Zhen was surprised at first, then overjoyed.

It was raining just in time.

This joint... is too loose. It's time.

...

After a series of home games, the game finally started.

Due to the great news from Crawford before the game, Isaiah Thomas deliberately put Stephen Marbury on the bench tonight, and arranged for Li Zhen, Crawford, Jeffries, David Lee, Eric Di Curry's lineup. Marbury didn't have any objection to this, he sat there with a gentle and jade-like attitude, as quiet as a piece of black coal.

Washington Wizards here sent the starting five are: Arenas, Butler, Stevenson, Jamison and Haywood.

The lineup is average.

However, when the players from both sides greeted each other, they were extremely fierce.

Arenas said that he would let Li Zhen leave crying tonight.

Caron Butler was more direct. He said, "I'm going to blow you up and take your Anne Hathaway."

That's what I said.

Li Zhen really has such a little bit of food protection, although Anne Hathaway has nothing to do with him.

He just found Butler disgusting.

...

beep!

The whistle sounded, Eddie Curry and Haywood jumped the ball.

Without suspense, Heywood won.

The basketball was shot towards his own half.

However, at the moment Arenas opened his hand to catch the ball, a flash of lightning came galloping.

Arenas hurriedly took a step ahead, trying to protect the basketball, but he didn't know that the lightning figure suddenly jumped upwards, and he shot the basketball directly into the air, flew over Arenas' head, and then quickly landed and galloped away. go.

The general tried to turn around to protect the ball, but it was too late, so he could only turn around and track and defend.

Arenas is not slow.

But compared to Li Zhen, it is still a little bit worse after all.

When he rushed into the three-point line, Li Zhen had already reached the free throw line, and an elegant figure soared up.

Although his jumping height is not amazing, Bill Wharton in the commentary is full of praise for his elegant figure.

boom!

Gently splitting the button is like a kiss before deep love. Although it is just a taste, it makes people linger and forget to return.

Anne Hathaway stood up immediately, she was very eye-catching in a long white dress, instantly attracting the audience's attention.

After all, this is an away game, after all, it is an enemy-occupied area.

So loud.

Of course, there were overwhelming boos from the audience.

There are also some invectives attacking personal style in the middle.

And Anne Hathaway stood proudly amidst the boos, a bit like a modern independent young woman bravely chasing love without fear of worldly eyes.

This made Reggie Miller couldn't help but admire: "Are they staging an earth-shattering love drama?"

Forehead.

McBrin shook his head, he realized that the topic seemed to have gone a little bit off track. He quickly said: "Bruce's reaction ability is still very strong. His dunk showed his amazing explosive power and speed. Some people said that he is the most elegant layup player in the league today. I think that is not comprehensive enough. He should He is the best low-altitude artist in the world today."

Low altitude artist?

Forehead….

It's kind of funny though. But it's quite appropriate.

"At least I'm not 0 points anymore."

When Li Zhen returned to defense, he still did not forget to say a gentle word to the glaring Arenas.

Now that his face has been torn, he doesn't mind pouring salt on the General's wound. After all, it is really embarrassing to play 23 minutes in the All-Star Game but only get 0 points.

Arenas really bared his teeth.

He glared at Li Zhen viciously: "Wait, kid, I will give you a little surprise right away."

oh.

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it? Can I make a wish first? I think this surprise is to make my physical fitness or strength better, can I?" Li Zhen prayed to Arenas very sincerely .

There is no doubt that this makes Arenas even more angry.

He thought that Li Zhen was deliberately making jokes and deliberately humiliating himself.

However, what he didn't know was. Li Zhen really prayed from the bottom of his heart. His desire for strength and physical fitness was stronger than Paris Hilton's desire to sleep with him.

…

When Arenas came to the half with the ball, when he stayed outside the three-point line.

He immediately stretched out his right hand to Li Zhen and hooked it. For the first ball in the game, he will be singled out with Li Zhen.

This hostility is indeed intense to the extreme.

The fans at the home court roared even more. They supported their general with overwhelming noise and gave Li Zhen a fatal counterattack. They must let him know that offending Li Zhen will never end well.

"Come on, boy, let me give you a little sweet surprise."

Arenas yelled.

Li Zhen smiled lightly, and he stepped up.

Although his body is weak, he has never retreated half a step in front of any difficulties.

Whether it is Arenas or James standing opposite.

"I will drive you two meters away, break through from your left side, and then hit a shot from the free throw line." Arenas told Li Zhen arrogantly: "Remember? A rookie."

Li Zhen shook his head indifferently, and he retorted: "Stop bragging, you didn't intend to do this at all. You were never Kobe, Jordan, and Larry Bird. You are just a second-round pick. You That fact can never be changed."

Li Zhen directly poked Arenas' pain points.

This is what irritates Arenas the most. As a second-round pick, although he is arrogant, he also has low self-esteem. His low self-esteem is his origin. He has never enjoyed the treatment of the proud son of heaven, he started from the bench, and he has been treated coldly.

Although he changed everything through his personal efforts, and his whole person quickly swelled up.

But deep down in my heart, I still have a brood on this thing, and I will never forget it.

court death! !

He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Then, Arenas took a step, and he went straight up.

Li Zhen said he was bragging, that he was not Kobe, Jordan, or Larry Bird.

He just wants to do what these superstars do.

However, when he hit it, Li Zhen had already stepped back, not giving him a chance to hit it at all.

When he changed direction, Li Zhen also changed in advance.

With an expression of "who told you to pretend in advance", he looked at Arenas with a smile on his face.

Arenas felt his scalp go numb and his heart tremble.

He wanted to vent, so he sprinted to the free throw line, where he was going to hit the ball.

However, when he came to the free throw line.

Li Zhen automatically stepped back half a step, and then Jeffries came up to him.

Arenas hadn't thought of this at all, but his shooting action had already been made and there was no way to change it. He could only forcibly avoid Jeffries.

Then he twisted his body and threw the basketball... But the moment he threw the basketball, a bolt of lightning struck again.

He took a closer look, and saw that Li Zhen, who had taken a step back, rushed towards him like a roar of thunder... This guy's explosive power is so powerful, and his wingspan is so long... Crack!

His surprise was not yet fully finalized, Li Zhen had already slapped the basketball with his right hand.

The general is covered.

There was an uproar in the audience.

And Li Zhen had already landed and marched forcefully, grabbing the basketball in front of Arenas.

If it weren't for Caron Butler's return to defense early, Li Zhen would have rushed to the frontcourt to counterattack.

But at this time, he passed the basketball to Crawford, and he had to talk to Arenas.

"Have you seen it? You are not Kobe, Jordan, or Bird. You should do things down-to-earth, instead of making a show like the proud son of heaven. God did not give you this talent."

Li Zhen told Arenas in a very calm and calm voice: "The second-round picks should work hard silently, and they should have their own consciousness."

These are all good words.

After all, it has always been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation to make a fortune in silence and hide our strength and bide our time.

But...Arenas didn't have this awareness.

He thought that Li Zhen was humiliating himself and playing with himself.

At that time, his eyes turned into bull's-eyes: "Shameless! Despicable!"

He thinks that Li Zhen's fishing law enforcement defense is extremely despicable.

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders.

"It's called a trick. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird would not be irritated by such a move. In the end, your ability is not enough. So, you are blocked."

The voice floated slowly.

Like a sharp knife, it continuously pierced Arenas' defenses. .

If killing people is not against the law, Arenas would like to bite off Li Zhen's ear.
