The God of Basketball

To put it bluntly, Isaiah Thomas has been living under the wings of Chuck Daly.

Everything about him is an artificial imitation of his godfather. Including, he always told his players that as long as they do three things well, they can win: Find the right opportunity to shoot, return to the defense quickly, and get stuck.

That's what Chuck Daly once told them.

Like Dennis Rodman, he sees Chuck Daly as his father.

He tried his best to imitate Chuck Daly's coaching style, such as getting along with the players in the locker room, such as informality, hating red tape, such as being ready for two pornographic jokes at any time.

But he didn't imitate to the bone.

Chuck Daly is a crazy perfectionist, he doesn't come from the street, he is a 'sanctified' white guy, he dresses like a millionaire every day, and his suits are always perfect... Although before becoming the head coach of the Pistons he Worked as a ballpark commentator in Philadelphia. But he crafted tactics, and although he gave his players a lot of freedom, he always channeled them his way.

However, Isaiah Thomas lacks this.

He doesn't have the ability to fine-tune tactics, nor does he have the ability to guide the players to his thinking. He is just a picture cake, even a picture cake full of foul language.

This seriously eroded his prestige, but he didn't know it.

In the words of Stephen Marbury...Isaiah Thomas neither knows how to cultivate awe-inspiring righteousness, nor does he know how to cultivate awe-inspiring prestige.

However, Isaiah Thomas is a bit like his godfather.

He knows how to tell who is the most "bred" person on the team, who is the person with the most determined and stubborn killer's heart.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to use the last bit of credibility in his New York career, unreservedly stud-style in exchange for Li Chen, and immediately established him as the core.

Even though David Lee is so tossing about now, he has not wavered at all how badly the experts outside have slandered Li Zhen.

This is the only ability he has.

It is also the reliance for him to gradually regain lost ground.

However, when Li Zhen walked onto the field, he still couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists, he was worried... After all, this battle is related to his reputation for the rest of his life.

If Li Zhen plays in a mess in the second half, not only will he not be able to survive in New York... Even if James Dolan pampers him, he will not tolerate him who leads things to a dead end again and again.

Moreover, leaving the Knicks, Thomas basically couldn't find a job in the basketball circle.

Therefore, everything has to be left to Li Zhen.

...

Li Zhen walked onto the field with a smile on his lips. He greeted Jason Kidd with a smile on his face, and also said hello to Vince Carter.

He has always had a good relationship with the two Nets bigwigs, and Jason Kidd had already praised him before he entered the NBA. And Vince Carter is one of the few All-Stars in Las Vegas to support Bruce.

However, this did not affect their subsequent rattling.

After all, a personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a competition is a competition.

Even... When Jason Kidd missed a technical foul, Li Zhen still didn't forget to tease him about being chased and beaten by the Women's Rights Movement Committee recently.

And Jason Kidd gave Li Zhen a look of "you are being immoral" at that time.

"I didn't even talk about the trash talking about you being chased by so many female stars recently, and you sprayed me first?"

"Sooner or later, those women's rights organizations will also find you. The Hilton family will even sponsor them to carry out cyber violence against you, unless you live in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel and enter triple-doubles for Paris Hilton every day..."

The superstars who entered the league in the 90s did not have a fuel-efficient lamp,

Mouth work is fine.

Even Jason Kidd, who was jealous in a nightclub and was beaten all over his face by his teammates.

Li Zhen reached the frontcourt with the ball at a slow speed, which made the NBC commentator shout: "This is not Bruce's rhythm. He must now take care of Eddie Curry's nearly 300-pound body."

But soon, Li Zhen gave the answer with his unique rhythm.

When he bent over the top of the three-point arc, he made a quick cross-step change direction at Jason Kidd.

There were even some exclamations at the scene.

Bruce rarely performs this kind of street-style singles, at least not such a slow-paced singles.

Jason Kidd obviously enjoyed this 'honor', he even opened his hands and said, "Come on, let me see your posture..."

The word "step" is only half spoken.

Li Zhen immediately activated his explosive power of 95, and caught old Kidd by surprise.

Old Kidd only felt the wind whistling violently from his side, and he lost Li Zhen's trace in an instant.

How come it feels faster than love?

Old Kidd turned his head, and Li Zhen had already rushed into the free throw line vigorously.

Jefferson quickly moved sideways to help defend, but in an instant, Li Zhen completed the ground pass, and the basketball whizzed away from the side. Quentin received the basketball and threw it easily... Swish!

Basketball hit.

It's a simple offensive set...get to the lane, draw a double-team, pass the ball to a teammate, and take the shot.

In the words of Chuck Daly, it is to find an opportunity to make an easy shot.

Basketball!

It's that simple.

Li Zhen spread out his palms to Jason Kidd, the old and the young. One was chased by the women, and the other was beaten by the women, which seemed quite harmonious.

Jason Kidd quickly responded, although the old Kidd's explosive power was far inferior to Li Zhen's, and his athletic ability was also greatly reduced. But his stream of consciousness is indeed full of excitement, three times, two times, just like Mr. Kato's fingers casually dawdling around the Knicks' defense line, and at that time he found a chance for a creampie, a flying hanging, Vince Carter soared into the sky, Complete airstrikes in restricted areas.

Before Kidd joined the NBA, there were roughly two types of point guards. One was to rely on personal abilities to create space like magicians and assassins. One is that Stockton enjoys the halo bonus of the system.

Not so with Jason Kidd, however. This guy's offensive ability is basically at the bottom of the point guard's food chain. If he lets go of the shot, Kobe Bryant may not be able to secure his position as the number one iron king in the league today. Moreover, he has never relied on any tactical system. After changing so many teams, you rarely even hear the news that he complements a certain head coach. Most of them are rumors that he empties the head coach in the locker room. .

He is so self-contained, like a master with his own system, he completes the operation of the general situation of the court without realizing it.

This is also the reason why Kidd likes Li Zhen. He can see his shadow in Li Zhen.

Interestingly, Stephen Nash also claimed in Las Vegas that he saw his shadow in Li Zhen. This made Kidd very upset, how does he look like you? Like you run with your head held high? Like you lick your finger for a free throw? Or like you're throwing a basketball two steps from the three-point line?

"Organizations are all about the art of space."

Looking back, Jason Kidd did not forget to educate this rising star. By the way, he stepped on Stephen Nash, who is as famous as himself: "This requires a little imagination in three-dimensional space. Stephen Nash just learned a little bit from the football field. "

Three-dimensional space?

Well, you're a ball master, and you're right about everything.

Li Zhen took the ball and continued to advance slowly.

And then completed a beautiful pick-and-roll with Swift, and distributed the ball to Crawford, who was running back quickly, and Crawford made an easy layup.

This ball made David Lee aggrieved on the bench. He felt that Jason Kidd had let go.

How could Jason Kidd not be able to defend Li Zhen? Isn't he the number one steals king in active service? How could his ball-out be passed so simply by Li Zhen?

As a center, David Lee is indeed a layman.

And Isaiah Thomas, as a historical point guard, saw Li Zhen's skillful control of the basketball. Although he still can't "fly" like top guards such as Iverson and Paul, in his fixed posture, no one can take away his basketball, even Jason Kidd.

Jason Kidd was also quite surprised by this, and even raised his eyebrows to congratulate Li Zhen: "I thought you would be easily intercepted with such a high center of gravity when dribbling."

Li Zhen replied: "Many things cannot be deduced with common sense. It seems that no one would think that a strong guard with a height of 6 feet 3 will be kicked out of the house by his wife."

Forehead….

"Correct you, it's six feet two."

Mr. Kidd is strict.

And his expression is full of indignation that you are only 6 feet 3 inches, and your whole family is 6 feet 3 inches.

Li Zhen readily accepted this "rebound", because his current barefoot height is indeed 191. This is miraculous, probably due to positive energy to make up for his hard training, although there is no way to bless his talent attributes, it has increased his height a bit.

The two happily ran back to half court, and then Jason Kidd handed the ball to Vince Carter.

He told Li Zhen: "I have to let you know what is the highest state of organization, off-ball organization!"

Immediately, he started to run, and then blocked Quentin Richardson for Jefferson in the run, and then Vince Carter passed the ball to Jefferson, and Jefferson drove straight and scored easily.

"It doesn't make sense. The whole world knows how good the Knicks' defense is."

Li Zhen told Kidd.

This made Kidd quite frustrated, as if he had clearly demonstrated the most profound swordsmanship to the rising star he admired the most. But the rising star told him: You only cut off a piece of watermelon, and this watermelon is still a crooked piece.

Nothing!

The New York Knicks are always so hopeless.

But frankly speaking, Li Zhen really admires Jason Kidd's level.

He feels that his style of play is greatly influenced by Kidd, although... his own IQ is also very important. But Kidd's versatility has certainly served him well.

When he was a child watching Kidd play in Dallas, Kidd was the fast-break instigator in the 3J, and then went to the Suns, and he became the commander of the team's mid-range jumper. Then to the Nets, he became the overall commander of the team. He not only looked for outside shooters, but also counterattacked Jefferson with long passes, and at the same time he could pass through the penalty area for Kenyon Martin. And now, he began to assign the ball to Vince Carter and organize himself without the ball.

Li Zhen has dabbled in these things.

In some respects, Li Zhen thinks that he is not worse than Kidd.

But without Jason Kidd walking the road ahead, how could he be a self-contained self now.

The two old and new defenders cherish each other.

It's just that David Lee on the sidelines suffered.

Not only did the Knicks' point difference not narrow, but it narrowed because of Jefferson's cold hand tonight.

Isn't this playing tacit ball?

Isn't this intentional to kill me?

Jason Kidd, don't you feel pain here?

David Lee and Channing Frye clutched their chests, it was quite uncomfortable.

Time flies, and soon came to the middle of the fourth quarter in a happy atmosphere.

At this time, Isaiah Thomas even replaced Eddie Curry, Quentin Richardson, and Crawford.

Replaced by ... Jeff Rees, Balkman and Stephon Marbury.

With Swift, this lineup, you don't need to look at it to know that it is going to be beaten.
