The God of Basketball

"If I knew you were going to steal my Rookie of the Year, I wouldn't have self-suspended the first time I met you. I'd have just shot Stanford. That way, you wouldn't have had a national game. Much less Will be drafted by the NBA."

Brandon Roy said with a smile: "However, guys like Greg Oden and Kevin Durant have to be careful. They may be taken away by you as the No. 1 pick. But it has nothing to do with me anyway."

champion?

Li Zhen thought about it, and it seemed that this possibility might not be impossible.

If I continue to stay in NAA, although it is impossible to have the current prosperity. But NAA has gathered the largest base of young talents, and the schedule is also intensive. After this year, maybe the accumulation of talent is even more than it is now. Although there is no precedent for a point guard to be the No. 1 pick since the new century, but... maybe it will be broken.

Li Zhen smiled, still thinking it was impossible. Greg Oden's position as the No. 1 pick this year is unbreakable. Even if the 2003 LeBron James is put into this year's draft market, it may not be able to shake Oden's position.

Regarding this point, Li Zhen still has self-knowledge.

"Are you going to choose Oden? Then trade Randolph away?" Li Zhen asked.

"Who knows?" Roy spread his palms: "I'm not the team manager. Only LeBron James can control the fate of players in the league. By the way, how do you say we want to trade Zach?"

"Do I still need to say that?" Li Zhen gave him an angry look: "Now that the entire Portland TV station is attacking him, I don't think I will see Zach wearing a Trail Blazers jersey next year."

Brandon shrugged and said nothing.

As a young player, he understands the fans' love for him, and also understands that the team's future team building ideas will be based on young people. But to be honest, he has no problem with Randolph, even if he publicly said that Bruce is more suitable for the best rookie.

Because this is something Roy himself recognizes.

"Let's go heads-up." Roy suddenly suggested.

"No." Li Zhen refused him, and pointed to his knee: "I suggest that you should take care of your injuries and reduce the amount of exercise. Once this kind of old injury recurs, it will be very troublesome. The Chinese say that sickness is like spinning silk , be extra cautious.”

Forehead….

Brandon Roy was a little lost. But at the same time, he felt that what Li Zhen said was right, but why did the people in the medical team want me to gain weight? I want me to use this time to strengthen my legs and use my muscles to support my knees.

Who is right?

...

Li Zhen didn't have the ability to spy on other people's minds, so he couldn't give Brandon Roy an answer.

But if it was him, he would never gain weight, he would only lose weight. Even if I play floating in the future, I don't want my already fragile knees to bear more pressure.

However, Zach Randolph is an obvious exception.

This naive-looking big fat man has a style of play that is different from his appearance. Aside from heavy centers such as Yao Huang, O'Neal, and Ilgauskas, Eddie Curry may be able to compete with him in terms of weight in such a big league.

However, although both of them are fat.

But the style of play is very different.

Eddie Curry is a typical standing style of play. He follows the simple style of eating the ball and playing singles.

Randolph is not like this, he even hopes to attack with the ball.

Although his fat body is not fast, he squeezes in like an earth dragon turning over, uses his huge body to open the way, and then throws the basketball through the gap... His shooting method is to ignore him first. Eleven first threw the basketball and talked, then he quickly jumped up to grab the rebound, and continued to throw the basketball,

Then continue to grab, and then put the basketball in.

Sometimes a layup can produce 3 offensive rebounds, which can be regarded as a typical example of waste utilization.

And that's why he's so ineffective.

How can anyone beat like this.

But the Knicks can only watch him do whatever he wants, and Eddie Curry is not flexible enough to defend him. Swift defended against him, the strength tonnage was not good, and there was no room for take-off at all.

And Randolph's grandson is fat and fat, but he doesn't have a neck yet, but his arms are stretched out. With his big waist and long arms, coupled with his excellent jumping ability in the interior, it would be a pity not to develop this offensive rebounding style of play.

Carmelo Anthony of the Colorado Plateau is in the same league as him in this regard, and they both like to attack with offensive rebounds. Therefore, these two are also the top two favorites of the league's most shot-blocking players.

Unfortunately, the Knicks have very few shot-blocking experts. Although Swift can jump, his shot-blocking ability is really a younger brother. After all, blocking shots also requires brains to judge.

Therefore, Randolph once made the Knicks very uncomfortable.

This grandson can be both inside and outside, but can be salty or sweet. Not only does the shooting range cover beyond the free throw line, but the fat dragon in the penalty area is also a must. Coupled with the skill of self-shooting and self-grabbing, the Knicks fell behind by 6 points.

Fortunately, the head coach of the Trail Blazers is not stupid, so he quickly replaced Randolph.

And Isaiah Thomas also quickly attacked with the whole army, letting Li Zhen lead Quentin, Jeffreys, David Lee, and Swift to run and bomb, and the point difference was overtaken at that time, and it was still expanding rapidly .

When Randolph saw the situation, he immediately understood.

The team really doesn't want to win.

So, when he re-entered the court, he was also happy and leisurely, and began to study the art of three-pointers.

Anyway, I also have a good relationship with Bruce Lee.

The Knicks locker room is full of talents. They may go to New York to play an away game one day. They have a first-class sister and they can go to happy together.

Let's play! Why make it so tense.

Randolph turned the corner.

The game is easy to handle.

The Knicks were devastated at the time, pushing past in waves. The Portlander disarmed with a whimper.

"Randolph is a talent."

Isaiah Thomas kept chanting on the bench, garbage time came a little early. The emotion in the assassin's heart was so embarrassing.

Li Zhen frowned, and didn't know whether he should tell the smiling assassin: Randolph asked me for Stephen Francis' phone number on the court just now?

It is rumored that Randolph has a reputation as a drug dealer. If he is connected with Francis, the medicine jar, there will be a thunderbolt and the Bureau of Investigation will be brought into the locker room.

Therefore, Li Zhen quickly changed the subject.

He was afraid that Isaiah Thomas would be agitated and ran overnight to discuss the trade with Portland's general manager Catch Reid.

According to the urgency of the Trail Blazers, they can't wait to send out Randolph's long-term high-paying contract. Why not do it with the famous Knicks taking over the offer.

"Randolph is really strong."

At this time, Swift actually spoke to the side: "He is much better than Eddie Curry."

Forehead….

That's kind of hurtful.

Eddie Curry glared at him at the time, telling the truth.

Although they are all fat, and they all have tens of millions of contracts, but you can't give Isaiah Thomas a bad idea. What if he sends me to Portland? How can I be willing to part with everyone, those Yingyingyanyans in the Big Apple City.

However, Eddie Curry must have thought too much.

Portland doesn't even want Randolph, so can you, the 36-degree brand ambassador?

He is not sick in his mind, you think every general manager is a smiling assassin who only stabs himself.

beep!

Finally, after a long period of boredom, a rapid electronic buzzer sounded in the Rose Garden Arena. At this time, the huge arena was empty, and the arena, which had a low attendance rate, was even more crowded tonight. Now Blazers fans are using computer simulation draft lottery at home to see how likely they are to get Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.

As for the game, who cares?

"Bruce Lee, I'm really optimistic about you getting the best rookie." Zach Randolph didn't forget to come over to say hello to Li Zhen at the end, expressing his goodwill.

After all, Portland cursed him.

You can't let people do it for nothing, you have to let Li Zhen know his heart.

Li Zhen nodded to express his gratitude.

His impression of Randolph is not bad, but various rumors always make him afraid to get too close to him. In case, one day he took out a bag of happy little tobacco from his bag and wanted to be happy with him.

...

The Knicks rushed to the Colorado Plateau non-stop, rested for half a day, and the whole team watched how the New Jersey Nets were wiped out by the Dallas Mavericks in the hotel.

The Dallas Mavericks are also favorites to win this year.

After losing the championship last year, they only want to get back what belongs to them.

But Li Zhen always felt that the Dallas Mavericks lacked something, perhaps organizational skills? Cohesion perhaps? Anyway, Li Zhen is not very optimistic about this kind of pure CIC team.

In contrast, the Denver Nuggets gave Li Zhen even more headaches.

Although he knows that a loose system like the Denver Nuggets will definitely not go far in the Western Conference playoffs, the problem is that this team is Knicks.

Unlike the traditional strong teams in the West, the Nuggets on the Colorado Plateau are completely bursting with talent and running hormones.

Their style of play is open and they can run and jump. Although this season's defensive ability has declined again due to Kenyon Martin's season reimbursement, the Brazilian Nene, who lost an egg, became stronger after "Sister Wang returned", quite a bit "I dropped the egg, but I also became stronger The 'momentum.

Coupled with Marcus Camby, the Nuggets' restricted area is still a steel jungle.

Moreover, there are world-famous golden double guns on the periphery. Coupled with JR Smith, Kleiza and a series of elite soldiers... Li Zhen couldn't figure out why such a gorgeous lineup could only be ranked seventh in the Western Conference.

This has to start with George Karl. George Karl can be regarded as a generation of famous coaches in the NBA through working years, and he is about to go in the direction of coach Qiansheng.

However, his old man's tactics are so original. The nominally open combat actually presents a trend of fighting independently.

Even if JR Smith gets windy, he can dominate for a while.

It can be seen that apart from making Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony both in the top five of the scoring list, he has not achieved much.

The Knicks-Nuggets game takes place on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. ET.

This game attracted many Gaoyuan fans.

People really want to see with their own eyes how the young Allen Iverson taught Li Zhen to make a breakthrough.

However, the surprising thing is. Allen Iverson actually took a rotation tonight.

In fact, George Karl consulted Iverson for his opinion before the game. If Iverson felt that he had to teach this new generation of breakout masters who had recently made a name for themselves in the Eastern Conference some lessons, he would put Anthony on the rotation list. , preparing for the playoffs.

But Iverson obviously did not compete for the title of the world's number one breakthrough player. This can be seen from his previous announcement that TJ Ford is the fastest player in the NBA.

Iverson's absence made this game lose a major attraction.

However, JR Smith is in the mood to replace Iverson and teach Li Zhen.

In a sense, this nerve knife can be regarded as the first stepping stone for Li Chen to gain a foothold in the NBA. At that time, he was quite critical of Li Zhen's high popularity, so he proposed to clean up Li Zhen. However, the result was that Li Chen successfully broke into the hearts of Los Angeles fans with his outstanding performance in that game. Afterwards, Li Zhen not only had his own signature shoes, but also reached a historic cooperation with Nike.

But now, when the two stand together again, even an idiot will not think that the two are opponents of the same level.

JR Smith thinks so. He has been looking for Li Zhen to play singles, trying to show his strong body and skillful shooting skills.

Unfortunately, he did not complete the picture he envisioned.

On the contrary, it inspired the fighting spirit of the NBA's number one drafter. Jamal Crawford saw him throwing such waves, and told him at the time: The wind is not drawn like this. When you are not in a state, you can't force it. You have to be patient and wait for the wind to come.

Wait until you get paralyzed.

The unqualified JR Smith swears.

At the time, Crawford didn't say anything. After he suddenly felt that his joints seemed to be opened in the second quarter, he took the initiative to play and blew the wind.

He called JR Smith in front of him, and the one-on-one teaching blew him away.

At the end, I did not forget to tell him: Did you see it? This is how the wind draws.

In this matter, Crawford has the supreme say.

In today's league, no one is more convulsive than him.

However, the regrettable thing is that his wind comes and goes quickly. By the fourth quarter, everyone was gone, and then he returned to the bench to rest without forcing his horse.

Instead, JR Smith has been there forcibly calling.

Crawford watched and shook his head, as if he was laughing at this young little brother who knew neither science nor Buddhism.

Due to JR Smith's inefficient performance tonight, the Knicks narrowly won the game. Li Zhen's performance in the whole game was not outstanding, scoring 9 assists in the game can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but Crawford's 32 points are crucial, and Stephen Marbury's control of the overall situation in the rotation time, this gives the Nuggets This loose attack provides a good sample of a regular army.

It is a typical example of the weak overcoming the strong.

However, having said that, the Nuggets have little desire for this victory.

It's purely training for the final period of the regular season.

Because the ranking in the West is not as fluctuating as in the East, it doesn't make much sense to win one more game and one less.

...

When the Knicks returned to the East with their final Western Conference win of the season, fans in New York City were already there celebrating, and there is nothing happier than this.

With the New Jersey Nets losing consecutively in the Southwest Division, they are now worried about whether they will fall to the eighth in the Eastern Conference, and there is no suspense in the sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Even if the Knicks lose the next two games.

When the joy of the New York newspapers was at its peak, the cold water poured in.

Eddy Curry suffered a heart attack when he arrived in Atlanta, and he was rushed to the hospital. After preliminary screening by the hospital, his season was cancelled, and he could not even engage in high-intensity physical labor... Whether he can return to the game in the future depends on his recovery.

This is so...

Li Zhen suddenly became sad.

Although Eddie Curry always plays a carefree role in the team, his contribution to the team is also very limited.

But they are friends after all.

Why did it suddenly happen?

"Is it because I stimulated him in Portland?" Swift blamed himself a little. He thought it might be because he said in the Rose Garden that he was not as stimulating as Zach Randolph.

But in fact, he is a born heart patient.

Doctors had warned about the risk since he hadn't joined the league.

It's just that I didn't expect that after playing in the NBA for seven years, this risk suddenly broke out.

well!

The Knicks' offense in the penalty area itself is not strong. In this era of still sticking to the offensive, the lack of an insider who can overwhelm the penalty area has to be said to be a major shortcoming.

This casts a heavy shadow over the Knicks' upcoming playoffs.

In Atlanta, the Knicks suffered the most direct attack.

This poor team, which is also frantically chasing Greg Oden, unexpectedly put up a full lineup, and beat the Knicks with a disorganized lineup to death as soon as the game opened.

The team composed of Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, Josh Smith, Sheldon Williams and other forwards showed vigorous athletic ability and full offensive firepower.

This made the Knicks overwhelmed.

At the same time, it shows the weakness of the team in the wing and penalty area.

When Crawford has no convulsions, the only people on the team who can attack with the ball and tear apart the defense alone are even Stephen Marbury and half of Li Zhen.

And Li Zhen was flanked by two athletic forwards tonight. It made him underperform.

Then there was a chain reaction, and the Knicks' shooters and air cutters were comprehensively weakened.

Although in the fourth quarter, Li Zhen speeded up and used the pick-and-roll to recover some points. But at that time, Joe Johnson had already entered the state of "Mr. Joe".

This traditional shooting guard who once ran and bombed in the Suns and then bloomed as a late bloomer is now the third man after Kobe and Wade. Put an end to the Knicks' counterattack.

helpless.

The Knicks swallowed the defeat sadly.

After the game, Josh Smith, the forward who defended Li Zhen fiercely in the first half, did not forget to say: "The strategy for defending against Bruce Lee is very simple, just cover him with an athletic forward. Just like me Same."

"You can call me Bruce Lee Terminator. Or, Little Fox's Killer."

Josh Smith is complacent.

He was very happy that he was able to complete this matter so well.

And his remarks did give some inspiration to Toronto, which is far north.

Originally, the Knicks' winning streak made them very, very nervous. If they were killed by the Knicks, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

This is the first time the Raptors have entered the playoffs since Vince Carter left!

Fortunately, the good news came soon. Before Toronto set off for New York, they got the news that Eddie Curry had a heart attack and was reimbursed for the season. Then, when they landed, they saw the news of the Hawks beating the Knicks.

marvelous.

If the second-to-last in the East can kill the Knicks, there is no reason why we can't do it as the third in the East.

Then watch the content of the game carefully and combine it with Josh Smith's speech.

Immediately, the head coach of the Raptors came to a conclusion: "Bruce's physical problems are still unresolved. He can only play in the first and fourth quarters, at most interspersed in the second and third quarters. And, Josh Smith You're right, he loses his game when he's up against an athletic striker, he's not as strong as he thinks he is."

This conclusion made the Raptors' heart boil instantly.

Before that, TJ Ford's heart was burning hot.

As the fastest player in the NBA handpicked by Allen Iverson, he couldn't tolerate Li Zhen's recent limelight overshadowing him.

Obviously I am the No. 1 breakthrough player in the Eastern Conference, why should I give this position to him?

This 03-generation speed guard has paranoia and pride that ordinary people can't understand.

Thinking about it, it's not hard to understand... A guard with a height of 75 centimeters can enter the NBA, and he entered as a lottery pick in a super draft year like 2003. One can imagine how paranoid he is. Proud.

For him, his speed and breakthrough are the source of all his superiority. Once someone hits this, he will form a strong conditioned reflex like a hedgehog.

Interestingly, however.

When Li Zhen watched the Raptors game video, he never regarded TJ Ford's speed as a threat option, and he didn't even pay special attention to the quasi-All-Star.

He only thinks about problems from a holistic perspective.

...

Paris Hilton obviously doesn't have this kind of rational thinking.

She can't take it anymore, it was Anne Hathaway some time ago, and then Ashley Olsen again.

Why? Why can all those women get Bruce and I can't?

I want to take him...hehehe.

I also want to have the top talking points at parties, and in New York City, sleeping with Bruce Lee is the top indicator of socialites.

Paris Hilton puffed up to Kim Kardashian in her boudoir.

Kim Kardashian also followed Hilton in and out of various social occasions, indeed, as Bruce Lee's statement in New York became more and more popular. The upstart of the Internet, the genius of the music circle, and the pride of the basketball circle have become Tang Monk meat in the hearts of New York socialites. Everyone wants to have a taste, even if they can't have it.

However, Li Zhen is not slippery, and is not tempted by them at all.

So, we have to be strong.

"Oriental men are very shy. As long as we violate him, he will obediently obey. Believe me, no one understands Eastern philosophy better than me." Kim Kardashian vowed to give Paris Hilton a bad idea.

It sounded like planning a criminal operation.

...
