The God of Basketball

Michael D'Antoni finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, his coming to New York was a very risky job. He had heard about the chaos in the Knicks locker room for a long time. Although he was surprised and delighted by the unusual harmony after he arrived, who would have thought that such a sensational brawl would happen on the third day of leave.

Fortunately, this incident ended peacefully.

He also quickly returned to formal work.

And when he arrived at Madison Garden, Zac, wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses, was being interviewed by seven or eight media.

He was not affected at all, and he was even complacent.

"...I don't care what they said, whether they said it was a joke or a misunderstanding. Anyway, I only did what I should do."

"Of course I know what Tom Brady has accomplished in football, but so what? He's not Bruce Lee. Except for God, only Bruce Lee can make me do what I say."

"Gisele Bundchen chooses Bruce Lee? Hey, you're a woman too. If Bruce was standing in front of you in jeans and a tight T-shirt, would you look at Tom Brady more? Don't be funny, men say things like that Letters. They say things against Bruce, but in fact, every dead of night, they pray to have Bruce Lee's looks and wisdom."

"I'm not going to speak for Eddie Griffin. But Eddie was my brother and there was nothing wrong with what he did."

"Oh, yes. Kevin Garnett, on November 21, we will appear at the North Shore Garden Arena, which is your home stadium. I am waiting for you to say that to us personally."

Zach looks fierce in front of the camera, even showing his biceps.

Now the entire league is marveling at the passion and toughness of the Celtics.

But Zach Randolph didn't pay attention to the legendary newly-promoted devil's home court at all: "As long as Eddie and I stand in the penalty area at the same time, whoever dares to bark our teeth at us will knock it off with an elbow."

Randolph is bold and dry, and his gangster temperament is palpable.

D'Antoni was obviously overwhelmed, and he left after listening for a few minutes.

As a coach returning to the United States from Europe, he is not good at dealing with this kind of chaos. But back in the locker room, I saw that Li Zhen was still doing push-ups in the middle of the locker, and Stephen Marbury pulled two young guards, Balkman and Nate Robinson, to explain the "offense in defense, enduring" in the protracted battle He was relieved a lot when he waited for the familiar but unfamiliar theory.

This team is still alive.

But soon, Zach Randolph broke this balance after returning to the locker room.

As soon as he came in, he announced loudly: "Brothers, I'm fucking in love again."

ah?

in love?

Everyone was stunned by these words.

"I just wanted to go on a date, but who knows, he actually made me a sandwich the next morning, or a sandwich made of bread wrapped in egg wash...Damn it, those Puerto Rican women are so cruel ’” Zach chattered.

He did leave Gisele Bundchen's apartment that night with a female model.

At that time, Li Zhen was still a little worried about the female model, after all, Zach and Eddie were like wolves and tigers.

But now it looks like Eddie wasn't involved at all.

He still played his saxophone quietly, and Zach didn't even respond when he announced loudly that he was in love.

Randolph's words of taking advantage and being good-looking made Nate Robinson and others boo.

At the same time, he started running over to complain to Li Zhen: Why didn't you take me there?

Nate Robinson claims that he has practiced boxing, and he is also from a football family, so he has no problem playing one or two wide receivers.

Eddie Curry said that he can conquer all provocateurs with fat. There are also Jeffries and others, who are all regretting not participating in such a sensational party in the United States.

Amidst these statements, Li Zhen could only leave quickly and train in another place.

...

The Seattle SuperSonics broke the foundation this summer and completed a complete rebuild. The core of the team, Ray Allen, was sent to Boston by them, and the second leader, Rashad Lewis, was also unconditionally released. There are not many long-term contracts left, and the team has two words written from beginning to end: bad performance.

The new head coach PJ Carlesimo announced as early as the summer that the new season will focus on training the No. 2 pick and No. 5 pick.

Kevin Durant will get plenty of opportunities to perform in the new season.

This kind of treatment is "extreme level" for rookies.

You must know that even LeBron James was not so completely identified as the core when he first entered the league. This even caused the misunderstanding of the Cavaliers boss Ricky Davis at the time: I thought he was chosen to assist me. Of course, the back story is clear, and Ricky Davis will clear that up pretty quickly.

Therefore, Li Zhen specially expressed his blessings to his close little brother in the summer league before the start of the game.

But Kevin obviously wants to know more about the party. The young multimillionaire asked Li Zhen with a particularly strange thinking: "So, can you really eat all kinds of snacks at that party? Shouldn't you Could it really be that they fought because of jealousy?"

Li Zhen really didn't think about whether snacks can be eaten casually.

Therefore, he told Eddie Griffin that he must hone Kevin Durant's offensive skills tonight. Otherwise, this guy is always thinking so divergently, and it is easy to burn out his brain.

Poor schoolbag Du is just a fledgling. In his first NBA away game, he encountered a playoff-level confrontation and an octopus-level defense. He struggled throughout the game, despite his athletic ability, physical condition, and shooting touch. They are all at the top level, and people can tell at a glance that he has a bright future. But weak confrontation and lackluster game experience made him helpless in the face of ultra-high-intensity defense.

He made 8 of 26 shots and only scored 18 points in the game. The efficiency is extremely touching.

But ... even in that case, the Knicks ended up winning by just nine points, a gap that opened up late in the fourth quarter.

Zach still hasn't fully integrated into the running and bombing tactics, especially this game also ushered in Eddie Curry's comeback.

Two fat men who combined weigh more than 600 jin are a disaster. How could they run?

D'Antoni wanted to hone his tactics through such a low-level game, trying to explore new possibilities.

But it makes for an unusually ugly game.

If it weren't for the Knicks fans being loyal enough this season, it is estimated that more than half of the fans would be lethargic and even leave the field in frustration under this dying rhythm.

After the game, D'Antoni said frankly: "I may have to make some appropriate corrections to the tactics."

So, in the game in New Jersey, he set up a starting lineup of Swift, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Crawford, and Bruce Lee.

Moreover, Zach Randolph and Eddie Griffin played only 11 minutes in the game. Eddie Griffin was better, he got 22 minutes of playing time.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Zhen's absolute authority in the locker room.

With Zach Randolph's temper, it's fine if he doesn't smash the tactical board.

He hasn't played off the bench since getting Most Improved Player, let alone played just five minutes without injury or pain.

After the game, D'Antoni, who won 121:99, said with a smile on his face: "I have said long ago that the Knicks are the most suitable team for running and bombing, and the Bruce is also the two most capable ball handlers in the league today. One of the defenders."

He didn't say a word about Zach Randolph's playing time.

This led some New York media to speculate whether Randolph was frozen by the Knicks because of party conflicts.

At this time, the Knicks began their first Western Conference road trip of the season.

The first stop is the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Portlanders formed the youth guards that amazed the league this season. Under the leadership of Brandon Roy, they achieved a good result of 6 wins and 2 losses in the preseason. Played 3 games in the regular season and also achieved 2 wins and 1 loss.

Roy is finally in charge after Zach Randolph is sent away.

He also showed his super charisma, he organized the game in an orderly manner, and drove the performance of young players such as Outlaw, Webster, and Aldridge.

But the sad thing is... their No. 1 pick, Greg Oden, was reimbursed for the season without playing a regular season. And underwent minimally invasive knee surgery that made fans feel creepy.

Although many Portland fans will comfort themselves with the example of Stoudemire still alive and well after minimally invasive knee surgery.

But in the end...the inevitable association: Does the Rose Garden Arena really have the legendary center curse?

Are we going to make another historic mistake after 1984?

Such a shadow hangs over Portland, even with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, it is difficult to put a smile on their faces.

After all, in this summer, and even in the bad season before this summer, everyone pinned their expectations on Oden the Great.

What Li Zhen did to Oden in the summer league has always made the Portland people worry about it. Many people even think that Oden's injury was caused by Li Zhen. Moreover, he also publicly declared that Kevin Durant was the best player in the 2007 class in the summer. Isn't this a curse?

The most important thing is that last season, Li Zhen also took away Brandon Roy's Rookie of the Year award. This season, he even formed a show-off combination with Zach Randolph, a pioneer of the Blazers.

As a result, the Portlanders' hatred of Li Zhen has solid support from public opinion.

Therefore, when the Knicks arrived in Portland, it was only natural to see those negative comments about Li Zhen on TV.

Li Zhen completely ignored these unwarranted negative news.

However, Zach couldn't bear it.

Before he entered the Rose Garden, he said: Our goal on Sunday is to bloodbath the Rose Garden.

When he, an abandoned general, uttered these words, hostility surged in Portland in an instant!
