The God of Basketball

The Continental Arena, home of the Nets, is located in a small town called East Rutherford, New Jersey. Compared with New York City, it is a rural country.

But this does not prevent these country bumpkins from watching the excitement of the Knicks.

In fact, the happiest thing for this group of "mud-legged people" recently is to see the house of the rich neighbor who has just improved a little bit make trouble again.

At this time, the few die-hard fans of the Nets will start to mutter: Look! It is useless to have money, and the record cannot be determined even if you have money. Although we are poor, we have Jason Kidd.

The method of happiness of the poor and the poor, especially when it is built on the rich and the rich, is particularly powerful.

Frankly speaking, the Nets' record has declined sharply this season.

Although it has been said that since Vince Carter came to New Jersey on a flight from Toronto, the attention has increased. But the record is getting worse day by day. When Kenyon Martin was still there, the Nets reached the Finals twice, which was an elation.

But now, it is only ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

After all, the gap with the New York Knicks, who is now eighth in the Eastern Conference, is not that big.

Speaking of Kenyon Martin, many New York fans began to compare Swift to Kenyon Martin during this time. Because they are also the centers of beasts, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. But the difference is...Kenyon Martin has more or less a face-up attack, and his defensive ability is much better than Swift. Most importantly...his brains are nowhere near as bright as Kenyon Martin's.

However, stupid people have stupid blessings.

After he successfully signed Bill Duffy, he became the first New York player to be favored by a Chinese brand.

He excitedly told Li Zhen that he had signed a contract with a Chinese sports brand called 'Noble Bird', which gave him $100,000 a year and included a full set of equipment for him.

Uh...Swift does look like a bird when it flies.

Moreover, even he himself does not deny that Bruce Lee is his nobleman.

"Do you think I'm worse than Kenyon Martin?" Swift sat on the bench, chatting with Li Zhen for a long time. He was laid back even though the game was on.

"Hmm..." Li Zhen answered Eddie Griffin's message while holding his mobile phone, "I think you will achieve better results than Kenyon Martin, and your jumping posture is much more fierce than his."

Eddie Griffin was unhappy in Memphis.

Tennessee fans have been furious over the past week and started yelling for the drunk to get the hell out.

Eddie Griffin, who left Bruce, returned to his old career. He felt that without Bruce Lee, his musical talent could only be ignited with alcohol. So the state of the court has plummeted, and my mind is no longer on the court.

And before the fans in Tennessee couldn't stand him, he couldn't stand Tennessee's shitty booze.

After he learned that Li Zhen was attacked by David Lee inside the team, he couldn't wait to send a message: "Hey, buddy, you need me. I have to be by your side, and I can help you with everything."

He is no less loyal to Li Zhen than Swift, and he is a bad boy. If he was in the Knicks locker room, David Lee would have been thrown into the trash can if he dared to speak so arrogantly.

Eddie Griffin only had music and Bruce Lee in his eyes.

He can definitely do it.

Of course, if he's here. Li Zhen doesn't need to argue with David Lee at all, and he can even sell David Lee directly.

After all, even if Eddie Griffin's talent is squandered a lot, it is still unmatched by David Lee. Especially his ability on the defensive end!

boom!

On the field, Vince Carter once again completed a beautiful dunk.

The picture of him passing David Lee is like Ronaldo shuttling through the Chinese team's defense in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea... so easy.

Li Zhen covered his eyes helplessly.

But his text to Eddie Griffin still read: Listen, Eddie. You're wearing a Memphis jersey and you've got to do your job.

Li Zhen doesn't want Eddie Griffin, who is arrogant, to take the initiative to buy out his contract, which will bring a heavy blow to Eddie Griffin's family... This guy never knows how to manage his wealth. Bills arriving at his home would fill the mailbox.

In fact, Memphis' new president, Wallace, has already started to clean up his contract.

As Eddie Griffin sinks in Memphis, Kwame Brown's performance declines day by day. People believe more and more that the Los Angeles Lakers robbed Memphis, and now Los Angeles ranks second in the Western Conference. Everyone believes that Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant will reach the finals this season.

And what about Memphis?

In that tripartite transaction, they only got one re-verified parallel import champion and a dozen wine bottles.

Now, their only hope is that the Knicks don't make the playoffs. At least the draft picks are worth a little bit more.

Swish!

Jefferson hit another three-pointer from the corner.

This made the balance of the game completely tilted toward the Nets from the first quarter.

But Isaiah doesn't look sad, his eyebrows even fly.

He told reporters with the team before the start of the game: "Tonight we will take a very fair approach. David Lee will get any player he wants, and he will lead the team to play half the game. Then Bruce will come on in the second half and face With the current situation, we can only encourage this kind of competition. Two outstanding young people must decide the winner before the playoffs, and then we will unite behind the winner and continue to move forward in the playoffs."

Thomas' "fair play rhetoric" has spread throughout New York State as the game progressed.

That kept NBC's ratings on the rise, despite the one-sided game.

But obviously, what people want to see is ... the Knicks' internal conflicts come to an end tonight.

Although James Dolan thinks that Isaiah Thomas's behavior is fooling around, he is also sitting in front of the TV attentively.

In all fairness, David Lee and Channing Frye are very active tonight, they have a strong sense of presence on the offensive end.

And Jeffries, Quentin Richardson, Stephen Marbury, Balkman, and Jamal Crawford who played with them also tried their best to help them.

If it weren't for their offensive performance, the Knicks would not be 11 points behind, but 22 points behind.

Jason Kidd's state is very good tonight, the current triple-double king even hit a shot from beyond the three-point line. It made a mess of the legendary "Ji Bu Gong" character.

Maybe it's because Stephen Marbury worked hard enough tonight.

When the game entered the second half of the second quarter, when Jason Kidd was off the court to rest, the Knicks had a wave of shots.

Jamal Crawford hit two difficult jumpers in a row, and he was about to find the convulsion state he was thinking about.

But then, David Lee suddenly hit 3 singles in a row and missed all three times.

He was bullied enough by Nets center Krstic, which allowed the Nets to stabilize their momentum and regain their lead in double digits.

When he was off the court, David Lee still seemed aggrieved. He kept complaining to the referee on the court, saying why Krstic didn't call for a foul just now.

He looked like 'the whole world owes him millions of dollars'.

But the referee is not Li Zhen, but he didn't give him face.

Pop, the whistle was in his mouth and he blew it, giving him a technical foul.

Li Zhen was stunned watching from the side.

Are you really stupid or fake stupid? Isn't this digging a hole for me? You lost the ball before you even played.

"You'll only lose more."

On the way back to the locker room, David Lee, who was suffocated by the referee, did not forget to "curse" Li Zhen: "I scored 17 points and 7 rebounds in the first half. Do you think you can surpass me?"

Li Zhen really didn't bother to talk to him.

Back in the locker room, Isaiah Thomas was already there to set up the second-half tactics.

The players looked a little tired.

Moreover, not many people think that the second half can turn against the wind.

Originally, this kind of behavior that the team played in two waves hurt morale.

In addition, the first half of the attack was like that, and the second half lacked two important inside output from David Lee and Channing Frye. What waves can be caused?

The NBC anchor also strongly criticized the Knicks during the halftime commentary.

"This is bullshit. This kind of divisive behavior will not restore unity, it will only drive two young people further apart. Also, there is no way the Knicks will get another chance to make the playoffs. Once they lose tonight, They'll accelerate out of the top eight. And then they'll go downhill."

"The Knicks' top priority now is to quickly replace Thomas. He has never been a management guru. The rogue philosophy he pursues simply does not apply to modern teams."

"Strictly speaking, Bruce Lee was killed by him. It is impossible for Bruce to gather a strong force in the second half. The running and bombing he is good at will be useless without two inside shooters. Moreover, once dragged into the rhythm of positional warfare , he will be chopped into pieces by seasoned Jason Kidd, and eaten piece by piece with black pepper."

"..."

The critics were pessimistic about the Knicks' second half and criticized Thomas strongly.

At the same time, Li Zhen sat on the bench calmly.

He even took a look at his phone, and a text message from Elizabeth Olsen told him: Tonight, I hope to have a wonderful night with you.

This tall and slender little beauty is a little eager to rub her ears and temples.

What made Li Zhen frowned was that before the game, her sister Ashley Olsen also expressed the hope that she could have a pleasant date with Li Zhen tomorrow night.

Fortunately, not the same night.

Luckily, Mary Olsen didn't join in.

"Hey, Bruce, got it? Eddie Curry, Swift, Quentin Richardson, and Jamal Crawford with you. We're going to be on the defensive and we're going to keep hitting the counter."

Isaiah Thomas said to Li Zhen very seriously.

But Li Zhen clearly heard the titters of David Lee and Channing Frye in the corner.

Eddie Curry, Swift, Richardson, Crawford, these four colanders are going to play defensive counterattacks?

It's really humorous.
