The God of Basketball

In the adult world, collective silence often means something terrible is about to happen.

Especially when someone steps up to defy authority while others do nothing.

D'Antoni realized that the cancer had to be removed.

He then found Li Zhen, the well-deserved leader of the team, and also an important core of the running and bombing tactics. He wants to win Li Zhen's consent.

At this time, Li Zhen said something ambiguous: "I support your work very much. I think you have very advanced research on tactics."

"Zach is my best friend, my best brother."

"If he were to be traded, I'd be sad."

"I do my part as a player."

Li Zhen's words were interpreted by D'Antoni as acquiescing to the development of the situation, and even supporting him in trading Zach Randolph.

He was happy to leave, and then he called Isiah Thomas.

Thomas is also considering the transaction at this time. He wants to send out Nate Robinson and Crawford, because they really have less and less space in the Knicks and their opportunities to play are limited. He hopes to trade for some defensive champions, or draft picks.

The success of Ramon Sessions in the second round of Taobao made Thomas have greater trust in Li Zhen's draft vision. He believes that next summer, Li Zhen will still create surprises.

In this way, I can reap the reputation of a magical general manager again.

Just as Isiah Thomas was happily thinking about the future, D'Antoni called in a hurry.

As soon as the call was connected, he began to complain, saying that Zach Randolph was lawless and openly challenged his authority in the locker room, and this cancer must be removed.

Isiah Thomas was very confused when he received this call, wondering if he was playing a game now? Why don't you call me when you have time?

So, he glanced at the data.

The Knicks actually lost double digits to the Clippers at halftime.

are you crazy?

Then, he suppressed his temper and asked D'Antoni what was going on. D'Antoni said Randolph questioned his tactics and blatantly disobeyed his orders. And he also pointed out that Bruce Lee also supported him. He said that even though Zach was his good friend and brother, he supported the removal of Randolph.

D'Antoni is a bit like holding a chicken feather as an arrow.

However, he didn't know that this sentence had a completely different effect.

Because two weeks ago, Isiah Thomas still had a gap with Li Zhen's teammates and friends, and by the way, he also asked Li Zhen how to define friends. Li Zhen told him at the time: My friend is willing to play with him even though he knows he is nothing but a piece of trash.

And now, D'Antoni told Thomas that Li Zhen regards Randolph as a good friend and brother.

Then the meaning is very clear.

There is no need to even call Li Zhen anymore.

Isiah Thomas responded immediately: Oh, I see.

Then hung up the phone.

Although D'Antoni was a bit inexplicable, he still felt that Randolph would be cleared out soon.

Because he talked to Isiah Thomas, Stoudemire is very unhappy playing in the Suns now, and he can't cooperate with Shaquille O'Neal. And Phoenix is ​​now determined to rush out of the Pacific Division. If a deal is proposed, the bully has a probability of more than 80% to go east to New York.

At that time, he definitely saw the light in Isiah Thomas' eyes.

After all, with Stoudemire and Bruce Lee, it's like digging the earth with a bomber.

What D'Antoni didn't know, though. Isiah Thomas also talked about this topic with Li Zhen, and Li Zhen felt at the time... Stoudemire is a very good player,

But I just don't like it. Also, I don't think he has a chance of overtaking Kevin Garnett.

Isiah Thomas is no idiot.

So, after hanging up the phone, he went to his boss's office, and he talked to James Dolan about how to solve the problem.

...

The second half against the Los Angeles Clippers begins quickly.

Although D'Antoni strongly demanded that he must run on the tactical board, Randolph stepped on the court, but slowly, still playing the same set of offensive positions.

Li Zhen also slowed down his speed, and then began to use one-on-one to tear up Kassel's defense, hitting the free throw line again and again like a knife tofu, and the hit rate was very high.

This made Deng Liwei have to shrink his defense.

With the Clippers' defense line full of holes, as soon as his defense shrank, Quentin Richardson recited the Buddha's name from outside the three-point line.

And Jeffries, his bottom line has also become bottomless.

Eddie Griffin also took the time to make two shots from the high post. Randolph benefited from the blossoming of his teammates. He became more relaxed and calm in the penalty area, and made Kaman very uncomfortable.

The Knicks' multi-point blooming cost the Clippers their lives.

Their double-digit lead was swallowed in a blink of an eye, and then they began their habitual operation: lie flat and let the ridicule go.

This is the traditional art of the ten-thousand-year-old ship.

It has become a habit to put it badly.

The so-called thousand sails pass by the side of a sinking boat.

The Knicks easily tasted the fruits of victory by stepping on the Clippers' corpse.

Li Zhen even played for only 2 minutes in the fourth quarter before taking a break.

In his own words, Ramon Sessions should be given more exercise.

Sessions is a relatively traditional point guard. In the case of Stephon Marbury's injury and retirement, he should be given more burden.

When he sorts out the half-court position, his advantages are highlighted. He faithfully started to operate according to the arrangement of Jamelin in the last game, and his assists also increased rapidly.

This made D'Antoni quite depressed, and he realized that he seemed to be infested with tigers.

How come these guys are in a class of their own after just a few games?

Winning should be a happy thing, but D'Antoni can't laugh because it really has little to do with him.

Even Mike Dunleavy praised him at the post-match press conference: "I didn't expect that D'Antoni was not only a running and bombing coach, but also a perfect tactical master. His tactical adaptation in the second half was a wonderful pen, and I am proud of him. I'm in awe of what I've accomplished with the Knicks."

These words fell into his ears after being relayed by the reporter. He was very sad, but he still kept smiling and expressed his gratitude in a personable manner.

However, what he doesn't know is that on the other side, Zach Randolph has begun to tear him down: "We won a winning streak that has nothing to do with him. We played very well in the games he didn't command, including the victory over the Cavaliers." , Warriors, Hornets, and the Clippers in the second half today."

"His tactics didn't suit us at all. He was like a pair of size 42 shoes, forcing us size 50 feet to fit in. It's too sad. We should have a bigger future."

Zach Randolph bluntly exposed the contradiction.

And identify the root cause.

Everyone understood that the rift between the two could not be healed anymore.

Sooner or later, these two people have to leave one, or even two.

Many smart fans began to send offers to the Knicks, and Randolph's inquiries were very lively. Although he had a lot of negative news in the past, his performance this season is remarkable, averaging 27.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, and he is indeed a top center.

In this era of scarce insiders, many teams are willing to swallow his long-term contract.

Including D'Antoni's old club, the Phoenix Suns... They have swallowed the sharks that are declining, and they can't eat a Zach Randolph.

The offer they gave was also very tempting, and there was Stoudemire in it.

In addition, the Bucks, Kings, and Timberwolves all sent inquiries to Isiah Thomas immediately.

However, Thomas did not reply.

Because he was overwhelmed.

After Zach Randolph made those remarks publicly, D'Antoni actually exercised his head coaching privileges and threw Randolph into the daily watch list.

This aroused strong repercussions among the Knicks fan base, and many fans began to worry that the Knicks would embark on the old path from now on, and the strong team that had been built with great difficulty collapsed due to the discord between the generals.

Some fans even began to petition outside the Knicks club, hoping that the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord Isiah Thomas will calm down the incident and not let the team degenerate, let alone waste Bruce Lee's youth.

Forehead….

Fans are still very concerned about Li Zhen's youth at this time.

But it's kind of dark humor to say it.

When Li Zhen was in the team's civil turmoil, he was photographed going to the Avenue of Stars with Kevin Durant and Scarlett Johansson.

This threesome was actually proposed by Scarlett Johansson.

Interestingly, even though Li Zhen was pushed onto Scarlett Johansson by Zach Randolph as a prank last night, Scarlett Johansson secretly buckled Li Zhen's back...but there was no media crazy about their scandal .

Maybe it's because Scarlett Johansson slapped Li Zhen too hard before. Everyone thinks that Scarlett Johansson, as a female star, would not publicly slap her in the face and do things that break her promise and get fat.

Of course, there is another reason. Kevin Durant was always present, and his behavior of licking Scarlett even became a stalk of major talk shows. Everyone wanted to know how much bath water he could drink at a time.

So, these three people appear together.

People can mock at most: Bruce Lee, the lover of love, taught Kevin Durant how to drink the bath water of the goddess.

But in fact, the real situation is that Scarlett asked Kevin Durant out and reminded him to call Bruce Lee.

Scarlett Johansson was really stuck. After watching the Knicks vs. Clippers game, he became more curious about Li Zhen.

When a woman becomes curious about a handsome boy, that is the beginning of degeneration.

She even asked her most hated ugly man Kevin Durant to go to the Avenue of Stars to get closer to Li Zhen.

When Kevin Durant got that call, he nearly jumped for joy.

Then, he hurriedly asked his elder brother for help, and for this he even asked the team for leave... because he had to play a game against the Clippers that night.

However, when the three met, Kevin Durant found that the goddess' eyes were not on him at all.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to look so good in jeans. You have such long legs that you can't see it on the basketball court. Your body proportions are so perfect, you know?"

He didn't expect the goddess to be so good at licking. Moreover, this is completely different from her previous state. Little Adu even thought that his goddess might have misunderstood Bruce before, why is he suddenly so affectionate now?

However, what he didn't expect was that his elder brother was actually very cold: "I know that the best designers in the fashion circle say that."

"Before you shot the ball on the court, did you feel that you would definitely score? I think you are so good, you can throw the ball in so difficult..." the goddess continued to lick.

Kevin Durant turned on the answering mode: "You should ask me this question, I shoot super well..."

Before he finished speaking, Scarlett gave him a warning look.

He hurriedly stopped talking, and only then did he realize: So I'm the one who doesn't matter. Why is it that it's a movie of three people, but I don't have a name?

I'm just a tool man? ? ?

After Durant watched Scarlett buy two ice creams and then gave one to Li Zhen, he finally understood the meaning of his existence.

The ice cream was not tasty at all, not sweet at all.

Durant pouted.

He didn't feel uncomfortable, because he suddenly felt that the boss and the goddess were more suitable.

It's just, is the boss so busy with so many girlfriends?

...

The entertainment media reported the swaggering threesome with little fanfare. Because...people aren't that interested in the real-life version of Beauty and the Beast.

Moreover, most people think that Scarlett will not end up with this NBA rookie who is full of him. In the words of the famous talk show actor Conan: She may not be able to pay the water bill.

In any case, Scarlett appeared in the Staples Arena for the third consecutive day, sitting beside him was a bored Bruce Lee.

Kevin Durant performed very well tonight. He was like a god possessed, showing various difficult jump shots... The Clippers were hurt by him on the wing, and they still don’t understand why after every goal he made To punch hard.

Corey Maggette didn't even forget to remind him: "Brother, sometimes girls can't be caught by trying to please. It's about attracting. A man like me with a big body and muscles doesn't even need to talk. Girls will Automatically move closer. You need to eat more protein powder."

Maggette acted like a gym trainer.

"I have long understood this truth."

Durant glared at him, and then he looked to the sidelines as his goddess hand-fed a piece of popcorn to his boss, who refused.

well!

Sure enough, the goddess in her dream was also like a humble licking dog in front of the male god.

She should also drink the boss's bath water.

Durant thought so in his heart. Then, his strange brain thoughts began to diverge, and he remembered a picture of Scarlett squatting down... Well, he probably couldn't drink at that time.

call!

Durant took two deep breaths, and became calm again.

After all, only a man like Boss can be worthy of the goddess of my dreams.

However, he only had a little doubt.

Why did Scarlett change so quickly?

Li Zhen didn't understand either, he even felt a headache. He strongly felt Scarlett's coveting heart. He originally thought that Scarlett would be different from other women, but now... oh, woman. There's nothing bad about it.

In the middle of the game, Li Zhen left the arena.

He went to the Black Mamba's house, eager to ask Bryant for more offensive skills.

For Li Zhen, although Scarlett is the goddess in everyone's eyes. But what he lacks most is a goddess! !

In the past two days, even Jessica Alba has sent him a message on Facebook to make an appointment for afternoon tea, so what. Goddesses are not as important as basketball, women are troublemakers. If it wasn't for breeding offspring, Li Zhen would be willing to play with men every day.

Kobe is also a man with this idea.

But the reason why he has such a headache is because he and Vanessa both want a boy, and his shooting percentage in this area is very low. He has made two zero shots and is actively preparing for the third shot.

Swish!

Li Zhen finally hit an emergency stop jumper in the penalty area under Kobe Bryant's defense.

Then Kobe Bryant told him: "You're so tight."

Uh... what kind of tiger wolf is this.

"Haven't you noticed that your shooting arc has been flattening lately? It makes you shoot badly on the perimeter, and you have to let yourself relax." Bryant continued.

Li Zhen then tried to relax.

call out!

A whistling wind whizzed away, three non-stick, outside the body shot... basket.

Kobe quickly corrected Li Zhen's posture and taught more details.

call out! call out! call out!

"I just can't relax for some reason." Li Zhen said helplessly: "When I breathe hard, I tighten it. What can I do?"

Bryant also felt tricky, and he was even a little desperate: If this is the case, I think you may not be able to practice mid-range and long-range jumpers in your life. Think about it... Shaquille O'Neal has been playing for so many years, has he gotten better at free throws? He also has the same symptoms as you, and he is tight when he stands at the free throw line.

This judgment made the Black Mamba extremely regretful. He originally thought that Li Zhen had a chance to challenge the position of a superstar, but now he might be at the superstar level at most.

However, Li Zhen himself has no worries in this regard.

Because he knows that with the existence of a baby with positive energy, as long as he works hard enough, he will definitely be able to improve all his talents to the extreme. Now it's just a small problem with the ratio of various talents. It's okay, I didn't even score a jumper inside the free throw line before.

Bryant admired Li Zhen's optimism.

Then, he mentioned: "You don't seem to be worried about the internal strife in your team. Zach Randolph just put ketchup on D'Antoni's face, and D'Antoni also suspended him. You are not at all." Are you worried that this farce will continue to expand? Or have you already made a choice?"

"Now everyone is saying that Phoenix will trade Stoudemire for Zach Randolph. Is there such a thing?"

Kobe is quite concerned about this matter.

After all, the Suns are the Lakers' biggest opponent in the Pacific Division. If they really assemble the two traditional giant towers of Roshan, Shaquille O'Neal and Zach Randolph, together with Grant Hill, who has become younger under the blessing of the sun doctor this season, the Lakers will win if they meet in the playoffs. It took a lot of effort.

The competition in the West is already fierce. If the Lakers want to win the championship, they must pick three opponents from the traditional powerhouses such as the Spurs, Mavericks, Suns, Rockets, and Jazz before they can join forces with the Eastern Conference champions.

On the other hand, in the East, the Celtics face very little competition. The Cavaliers have seen a visible decline this year, and the strength of the Pistons has also been greatly reduced. Although the Knicks are on the rise, they have just eaten a few mouthfuls of food before they start fighting.

"I'm not involved in these things." Li Zhen replied sincerely: "But I guess Isiah Thomas should have an idea. He won't let this matter drag on for too long."

Kobe nodded.

The two continued to have in-depth discussions on technical issues such as how tight, how loose, how hard, how soft.

The relationship between the two is so good that Vanessa can't help being envious.

These two people will be rivals in battle tomorrow night, why are they still sympathetic to each other? If I'm not here, you two will have to play ball all night.

well! !

Bruce is really a guy who won't let go of a man.
