The God of Basketball

Zach Randolph didn't hesitate to rub salt on his old club's wounds.

He is now a notorious villain. For the past week, he's been in the limelight. He not only threw Tom Brady into the swimming pool, but also said that he would face off with Kevin Garnett, and at the same time... He also responded to the Patriots' well-known physical fitness point Terrence: If you want to fight, seven days a week, Twenty-four hours a day, whether in Boston or New York, as long as you specify the location, I can attend the meeting at any time.

The swaggering he is called the Rodman of the new era by many media, and the taciturn Eddie Griffin is called the thug Oakley.

"I give the middle finger to those Portlanders who say Bruce Lee is just a playboy. They don't know basketball, and they don't know what it means to be handsome. They just hide in a dark corner with a pen and paper to please the locals. Fans report that they never open their eyes to see the world. They think that if they close their eyes and ears, the world will revolve around them."

"The problem with the Portland Trail Blazers is that they have the worst front office and the worst doctor in the world, but they don't have any self-awareness."

"I'm grateful for the fact that they traded me. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Brendon Roy is a good player, but he'll never catch up to Bruce Lee."

"Greg Oden better turn down Portland's medical team or he won't have a bright future."

"Sunday night, of course I'm going to be on fire, it's just so easy for me."

Zach talked to the Portland media endlessly, talking about the pain points of Portlanders, and he was not afraid of angering his old club at all.

He is now completely letting himself go, never worrying about making too many enemies.

In this regard, Isiah Thomas firmly supports. But D'Antoni has some criticisms. He is a very traditional head coach. He hopes that all players will keep a low profile and play well, and don't make some messy news.

In a sense, he even thought he had seen Bruce Lee too much on the entertainment channel.

So, when Zach Randolph's speech in the media was seen on TV by him, and he found that Portland was raging.

He actually made such a decision when the players were eating breakfast: "Otherwise... Zach should rest for this game, we should not focus on the disputes outside the court."

As soon as this sentence came out, almost all the players at the table looked at D'Antoni strangely.

D'Antoni realized then that he might have said the wrong thing.

The main reason why he made this decision was that he wanted to hone his running and bombing lineup. As the running and bombing head coach, he was not happy to take Zach and Eddie Curry to run poorly. The secondary reason is that Zach made too much noise.

"I worry about accidents in the stadium. Those angry fans can easily behave irrationally."

D'Antoni explained.

Li Zhen frowned. For the first time, he felt that D'Antoni might not be suitable to be the head coach of this team.

The Knicks are now a team of lions and wolves, but D'Antoni is not enough.

Stephen Marbury even stood up directly, and he said directly: "No matter what Zach said, what kind of dispute he caused. First of all, he is a Knicks player. Not to mention... when the opponent wantonly humiliates us If we don’t have a leader who steps up, it’s proof that we’re not a fighting team at all.”

"I firmly oppose freezing Zach's playing time at this time. This is an act of capitulation, and I cannot accept it."

"From ancient times to the present,

Seeking unity through compromise is not advisable. Respect is earned by typing. "

Stephen Marbury can always bring a solid theoretical basis to the players.

D'Antoni felt a little restless for a moment, especially when Zach Randolph's scorching gaze swept over.

He feels...it's very different here than in Phoenix. He even dared to say with certainty that if Bruce Lee hadn't been sitting here and said what he said just now, Zach Randolph would never have sat there quietly. He would have slapped the table and jumped up to argue with himself up.

When D'Antoni was in trouble, Li Zhen finally said softly, "Let's play Zach as a substitute."

His compromise words resolved the impasse.

Now, only he can control the hills inside the Knicks.

Although D'Antoni is expensive as the head coach, he has no control over Zach Randolph, Eddie Griffin, Eddie Curry, and even Crawford, Marbury, Jeff Reese and others.

The only one who listened to him was David Lee.

However, David Lee also followed Li Zhen's instructions.

In essence, this team is more like Bruce's team than D'Antoni's team.

D'Antoni discussed the transaction with Isiah Thomas two days ago. He hopes to trade players who are not suitable for running and bombing, such as Zach Randolph and Eddie Curry. However, Isiah Thomas gave him the answer: we have to ask Bruce's permission. Also, we don't want to upset him by trading Randolph.

D'Antoni was a bit devastated about this.

The new season has just started, and he realized that he was constrained everywhere. Although he has a very close relationship with Bruce, Li Chen always maintains enough respect for him, and at the same time assists him in managing the locker room where the demons dance.

But... this is still far from what he expected to be a running and gun legend again.

Could it be that I am not suitable for the Knicks?

For the first time, D'Antoni had such anxiety in his heart.

Blazers head coach Nate McMillan, by contrast, never had that anxiety. The record of 2 wins and 1 loss at the start of the game makes him feel very good about himself. He even thinks that Greg Oden's reimbursement for the season will not affect the Blazers' market for the playoffs this year, because Roy and Aldridge have grown rapidly. .

Therefore, he scolded Zach Randolph in front of the media, saying that he could not support the wall with mud, and would always only know how to destroy the atmosphere of the team, without any collective concept at all.

At the same time, he once again mentioned the comparison between Brandon Roy and Li Zhen. He repeatedly emphasized: "Roy is shy by nature and doesn't like to make publicity. He is a completely different player from Bruce Lee who makes headlines every day. But anyone who knows a little bit about basketball knows that Roy's future is brighter than Bruce Lee. He Most of this type of point guards start out as a center and then quickly fall. Roy will always be strong, and he is very likely to become a historical scoring guard after Kobe. His current yellow Mamba nickname is proof, Have you ever heard someone call Bruce Lee the second magician?"

Portland always likes to compare Li Zhen and Roy.

But in fact, at the same time that Nate McMillan was speaking, Li Zhen was singled out against Brandon Roy in the Rose Garden. .

Their relationship has always been good.
