The God of Basketball

"Bruce is the best passing point guard in my opinion."

"My peak has not yet come. With my running ability and shooting ability, I am not just a three-point shooter at this level."

"I'm going to shine in New York. I'm going to prove that I'm the best shooter in the NBA!"

After Garcia learned that he was traded to New York, he couldn't wait to post three updates on his personal website, and at the end he didn't forget to add #Francisco VSAll three-point shooters! #hashtag.

His ambition is eager to break free from the cage and bloom.

However, it has attracted a lot of criticism.

Basketball experts thought he was too frivolous, and young shooter Redick pointed out that he was a dream. There is also Peja Stojakovic, who played for the Kings and has now gone to the Hornets. He claimed that Garcia's three-pointer has not yet entered the room, and it is impossible to expect to become a top shooter with the help of Bruce.

Francisco himself did not respond to this at all, but wrote on his personal homepage: Believe in the process.

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment.

Francisco's sudden outburst caused a shock in the shooter circle, and many media even listed the ten strongest shooters in the league today: Ray Allen, Peja, Nash, Kapono, Mac Miller, Nowitzki, Ray Dick, Brent Barry, Gibson, Anthony Parker round out the top ten.

This ranking is fair.

But it also seems cruel, Francisco did not even make the top ten, and Quentin Richardson also lost his name. On the contrary, there are two around James, and a hidden boss Szczerbiak.

No wonder Garcia was ridiculed by the crowd.

However, Li Zhen sent a text message to Garcia: Dreams that will be laughed at are more valuable to realize, come on!

Garcia was cheered by the text message. The encouragement from the new boss made him full of energy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

That's probably why he almost got into a fight with Quentin in the first training session.

Compared with calling Francisco to encourage him, facing Sheldon's resentment, he really didn't know which form to use to give support.

Shelton is challenging the entire Eagles club and the culture of this team.

"I'm happy to be back in the East, and I'm even happier... not to be in Atlanta. I'm not disrespectful to the people of Atlanta, but I just can't like a team that's in disarray."

"Finally I can play for a great coach, I can finally play for a team that is unselfish on offense and defense. I can finally play with a point guard who can pass the ball to every position!"

"I can't stand the ball spinning around in front of my eyes and I can't do anything anymore. I can't stand it anymore when I'm doing my best to hold the opponent down while my teammates are thinking about how to grab the rebound."

"I have never been a parallel importer! All previous assertions about my career are false. I have to stand up and tell the world that I am still a restricted-area landlord."

Sheldon Williams did not hesitate to start a war with the Atlanta Hawks.

He portrayed the Hawks as a self-serving collective with no tactical logic, a waste of life there, and a bad reputation.

In his own words: "I am a team player, but very helpless, I am not in a real team."

The Eagles fought back after hearing the words.

Josh Smith was the first to jump out and accuse Sheldon of being arrogant, saying that the team gave him enough opportunities back then, but he couldn't grasp it, and now he still blames the team in the end.

Marvin Williams also believes that Sheldon is deliberately trying to please the new team, and he will definitely suffer from it. And let's say that the next time we meet, we will fight against Sheldon.

In addition, their coach Woodson is also particularly angry. The point of his anger turned out to be: "Selton actually called Isiah Thomas a great head coach? He is not only humiliating me, but also humiliating all the head coaches in the league!!"

At that time, Isiah Thomas fought back: "I am the number one record in the league, who are you?"

Thomas stood up.

Make trouble again.

For a while, there was a tendency to direct the war to the Knicks VS Eagles.

However, the Knicks are not afraid of trouble here. The first day Sheldon walked into the locker room with his bag, Zach Randolph told him: From now on, you will carry my bag for me, and I will cover you. If the Eagles dare to move you, I will help you out.

Forehead….

Shelton, who is both good in character and academics, never thought that the first boss he went to his new team to pay homage to was Randolph, who did all kinds of crimes. He originally wanted to mingle with Bruce.

However, what he didn't expect was that.

In the team's first training session, Li Zhen took the initiative to apply for a substitute lineup. He led the main lineup led by Matt Barnes, Francisco Garcia, Sheldon Williams, Foyer and Marbury. Confrontation.

in this training session.

The four newcomers all strongly felt Li Zhen's passing ability and completely different playing styles.

For Garcia, as long as he can run out of space, Li Zhen will send the ball to him just right and very comfortably.

And Sheldon Williams finally had fun with the team.

Whenever he had the opportunity, Li Zhen would pass him the ball, and the defense let him play post-up. At the same time, when he was stuck on top defense, Foyer and Matt Barnes would also come to assist.

Although Foyer's mobility is not strong, leading to poor defensive efficiency.

But it still made him feel the harmony when he was at Duke.

And, as the coaching staff paired him with Eddie Griffin in the second half, he immediately felt at home.

Shelton moves fast in the paint and is good at countering opponents' kicks.

And Eddie Griffin is a master-level help defender who is good at driving off breakers. Also, his ability to block shots is extremely strong.

The two cooperated and gave Randolph 2 blocks in ten minutes, and destroyed the main team's multiple inside kills.

Jamilin, Stevens, and Boris, the three young assistant coaches, were dumbfounded watching from the sidelines.

They didn't expect these two people to play such a miraculous effect.

Both of them could only be regarded as leftovers in other teams, but when it came to the Knicks, they turned decay into magic.

Isaiah Thomas is indeed a top coach in charge of the general situation. You can see the chemical reaction at a glance, which is amazing! amazing! !

The three assistant coaches were amazed at the same time.

Garcia and Quentin Richardson were twisted together, and they were about to fight, but fortunately, the teammates separated the two in time.

In this match, Garcia defended Quentin very hard.

Although Garcia's physical confrontation is not very good, he is extremely active on the defensive end, chasing Richardson like a mad dog.

Richardson was originally sceptical because of the new shooter. After all, he used to enjoy this bowl of porridge all by himself.

In addition, Francisco has a strong desire to perform, and with the help of Li Zhen, he keeps hitting 3-pointers, which sets him off.

So, after Garcia forced him to defend in the bottom corner this time, he broke out emotionally and twisted Garcia, and the two fell into a ball.

Almost didn't fight.

After the incident, Isiah Thomas called a stoppage of the game.

After the verbal criticism, he turned around, meaning to let Stephon Marbury take care of the ideological work.

Although the two still don't speak much now, they have formed a certain tacit understanding.

So Stephen Marbury, who was in charge of ideological work, called Quentin Richardson, a Buddhist enthusiast, aside.

Li Zhen called Garcia over.

"Do you like defense?" Li Zhen asked him.

like!

Garcia answered very firmly.

"good."

Li Zhen nodded, then called another mad dog, Barnes, and asked them to come over and try their best to defend him.

The turmoil subsided quickly.

"What a promising team!"

Jamilin looked at the training hall where each was performing its duties, and he felt that everything was so beautiful.

...

Because the New Orleans Hornets are in the Southwest Division, they only have 2 chances to play against the Knicks this season. After being frantically beheaded by the Knicks at home last time, they finally ushered in a chance for revenge.

Chris Paul also prepared a lot for this.

He is one of only two 20+11 point guards this season, unfortunately...the other is Li Zhen. The last game was also advertised as the battle for the NBA's No. 1 point guard, although it didn't matter later.

But this time, if he loses again, the New York media will basically confirm the matter and will not give him a chance to come back.

Therefore, this game is not for him.

And this game he also learned from the last chance. He didn't make any noise before the game with any fanfare, and his teammates Tyson Chandler, David West and others also remained silent.

Head coach Byron Scott even reminded before the game: We will act low-key this time, and we will take advantage of the opportunity of the Knicks just completed the transaction to defeat them in one fell swoop, and then show off!

However, they fell short again.

When Chris Paul faced Li Zhen, when they met and fought for the first time. Paul instantly felt that Li Zhen had improved again, and the improvement was very obvious. Whether it is strength confrontation or the use of technical movements.

These two items were originally his advantages.

But now, Li Chen is reducing this disadvantage.

And, the desperate thing is. Chris Paul found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't narrow his disadvantage...because, the height is fixed. Wisdom is also innate.

Chris Paul can only sort out the offense patiently and meticulously, and provide output for the team through his personal offensive ability.

He played well.

Whether it's a mid-range jumper or a tactical execution, there are few defenders in today's league who are better than him.

However, Li Zhen also played very well.

He can't defend Chris Paul's offense, Paul can't limit his breakthrough, and his scoring ability in the paint is getting stronger and stronger.

More importantly, the overall strength of the Knicks has improved again.

Garcia scored two three-pointers in a row, and he did not lose in the confrontation with Peja Stojakovic. He even proudly shook his finger at the old senior Peja.

Although Sheldon Williams is short in stature, after he and Eddie Griffin partnered on the court, he immediately became a tiger. David West, who is also short, can't stand his offense in the penalty area at all, and he also contributes a lot of strength on the defensive end, although Tyson Chandler has completed two alley-oops above his head, which looks face-to-face no deposit.

But, apart from those two alley-oops, Tyson Chandler had nothing to show for it.

Coupled with the consistent performance of Zach Randolph, Eddie Griffin, Swift and others, the Hornets collapsed inside, and the restricted area was turned upside down by the refurbished Knicks.

In addition, after adding Barnes' defense on the periphery, the defensive strength has also improved sharply.

The Hornets' playing path became narrower and more passive.

Just after three quarters, the point difference widened to 11 points.

Moreover, they only got 65 at this time.

This is a far cry from the 110 points they scored at every turn this season.

Although there were very few exciting scenes in this game, the solid defense made Madison Garden cheer everywhere, as if dreaming back to the New York gangsters of the year.

The commentator on the scene was already screaming there: I never dreamed that our blood exchange would be so fast, praise Isiah Thomas! I couldn't even dream that we went from a purely offensive team to a high-quality defensive powerhouse in less than a week.

"If D'Antoni was still running the team, we would never have seen a game like this."

D'Antoni in front of the TV listened to the commentator's words on TV, and he felt seriously offended.

Recently, he has been unemployed at home.

However, there seems to be a turning point recently, and New Orleans hopes that he can take Chris Paul for a ride.

Sounds like a good choice.

Chris Paul is very smart and fast, and his organizational talent is one of the best in the new generation. While he doesn't have Bruce's gifted instincts for the quick offense, New Orleans' current set-up does lend itself well to running and shooting.

Whether it's David West, Tyson Chandler, or Peja Stojakovic, they're all ready-made run-and-gun players.

So, he made a point of watching the game, which was broadcast live in New York State.

He wants to take a hard look at the difference between the two teams.

However, he did not expect to see a subversive massacre.

The Knicks' transformation surprised him. The Knicks turned out to be a defensive team.

Isaiah Thomas doesn't look like a gentleman, why suddenly became a master trader?

Smiling assassins on TV look compelling.

No one misses D'Antoni's short time in New York now.

D'Antoni didn't even know how he died.

If he knew... As long as he didn't move Zach Randolph, he would be more tolerant of Jamelin. At least two-thirds of the glory of Isiah Thomas is now his. Will he be pissed off?

well! Life is like that sometimes!

Choice is more important than effort.

After defeating the New Orleans Hornets at 106:80, the New York media did not take this opportunity to claim that Li Zhen is the number one point guard in the NBA.

Because, it was meant to be. Why keep emphasizing it.

St. Paul was very sad because of this.

"No one understands trading better than me, no one understands chemistry better than me, this may be talent."

After the game, Isiah Thomas was still full of joy.

All his energy is used to deal with the media every day, and he likes the feeling of being sought after by thousands of people.

In contrast, other Knicks players are very quiet, even Zach Randolph has recently been addicted to talking on the phone with his girlfriend and ignoring his performance on TV.

...

time flies.

After the Knicks defeated Charlotte, they have continued to win.

Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Charlotte Bobcats... and other teams have been defeated in their conquests.

Time flies past New Year's Day, and January has been on a winning streak.

Of course, the box office of "The Hangover" has risen even higher.

One month after the film was released in North America, the box office has accumulated to 370 million US dollars, which is more optimistic than all previous estimates.

And, its harvest in the global film market is even more crazy, and the world is caught up in this excellent comedy. Bruce's talent and charm have been verified by the market again. Wang Shoudao is so busy recently that he can't wait to hire ten assistants to handle business contracts sent from all over the world for him.

Bruce is just too hot.

This even made some media begin to suspect that the audio of those female stars backstage at the movie premiere was actually a hype.

If there wasn't that wave of news, girls wouldn't be frantically crowding into movie theaters, and if they weren't frantically pouring into movie theaters, the movie box office wouldn't explode, wouldn't explode...Bruce wouldn't be making so much money.

Leonardo has reaped a lot because of investing a little bit.

He publicly declared: "This is the greatest investment I have ever made in my life. It has made my return more than ten times! I regret not increasing my investment at the beginning."

The eight major film production companies who said this vomited blood angrily. After all, you made so much money, and we didn’t make a dime. Wouldn’t it be more regretful?

The biggest news in January was that the Hollywood starlet Blake Lively asked Bruce Lee for his autograph and expressed his love for him in the United Center Plaza in Chicago, but was persuaded by Scarlett Johansson, and then Anne Hathaway stood up from the back row, And staged verbal disputes.

Blake Lively is Hollywood's rising acting star.

In 2006, she won the Breakthrough Acting Award by hollywoodLife for her campus comedy film. This year, "Gossip Girl" starring him has become the most popular drama series among teenagers.

She is known as the Hollywood sweetheart who rose rapidly after the disillusionment of the two little princesses of Disney.

And now, she has also followed in the footsteps of the two little princesses.

When the whole world was discussing why Bruce had so many scandals but no girlfriend, the die-hard Bruce fan appeared at the United Center.

She was wearing Bruce's jersey, holding a giant poster of Bruce's backhand layup in the Dallas penalty area in November, hoping to get the idol's autograph.

In fact, she said to the media a week ago: "I'm a big fan of Bruce, and I won't miss any of his albums, any of his commercials. As long as I have time, I will sit in front of the TV and watch him." In fact, when filming movies and TV series, I always have his shadow in my mind."

The public confession of the Hollywood superstar has caused a strong sense of frustration to the NBA players who fell into trouble some time ago.

At that time, it was halftime.

When Li Zhen passed by the sidelines with 11 points and 6 assists in the half and planned to go back to the locker room to rest for a while, Blake Lively couldn't wait to stand up and wanted Li Zhen to sign for her.

Normally, Li Zhen would not sign anyone's autograph at halftime.

However, recently, Li Zhen is discussing the signing card contract with the star card company. The star card company will give Li Zhen a super salary, and will pay a high share in the future, so as to buy out his signature in some special cases. He is considering this matter.

The consideration of signing a contract has been floating in his head. At this time, a beautiful girl handed over her poster.

He picked it up by accident, and signed his name.

At this time, Blake Lively jumped up excitedly, and she gave Li Zhen a hug frantically.

This scene made the fans and reporters on the sidelines crazy.

They quickly surrounded them, and Li Zhen realized that the matter was serious.

He quickly fled the scene.

What he didn't think of was.

After he left, Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting not far away, actually came over. As a senior in the entertainment industry, she warned Miss Lively, hoping that she would not get too deep. Bruce is a very dangerous person.

However, this drew objections from the little girl.

She believed that Scarlett Johansson was prejudiced against Li Zhen and refuted some of her previous arguments.

The quarrel between the two made the media quite excited.

The two of them obviously didn't want to make things big, so they both died down and prepared to return to their respective positions.

Unexpectedly, Anne Hathaway ran out at this time.

She said that Scarlett Johansson should not say such things to the little girl. At the same time, she also emphasized that Blake Lively, as a fan, should not ask Bruce to sign a poster of Bruce wearing an away jersey.

Soon, she was attacked by two women at the same time.

What she said was called posturing and pretentious.

The spat between the three women quickly made the headlines the next day.

Li Zhen felt a headache for this.

If the last time it was on the headlines was Jinyi Night Walk.

This time it was a disaster.

well!
