The God of Basketball

Tim Duncan is undoubtedly a model of successful people in the NBA. His debut was the peak, and then he has been at the peak until now. If there is no accident, he will continue to peak.

His career is like his expression that has not changed for thousands of years, and he has always maintained a straight line of high standards.

However, tonight he was in real trouble.

Even Reggie Miller, a shooter-turned-commentator, saw the problem: Duncan was uncomfortable in the paint.

Then, Bill Walton pointed out the most important thing: lose weight! Duncan lost weight and got in shape this past summer to preserve his speed and agility, allowing him to be more active.

However, Zach and Marc Gasol formed a black and white Great Wall that took shape.

Often in the NBA, it is hard for you not to believe in the fact that you are born with restraint.

Just like, every time Yao Huang meets Howard, he can play excellent statistics, but every time he meets Carlos Boozer and Melteokur, he will be beaten badly.

Because the helpers around Tim Duncan are only characters like Mark Bonner and Oberto.

So, the full-size recruits the Knicks hoarded this summer quickly gained the upper hand.

This caught Popovich by surprise.

Although they can always gain an advantage through experienced experience and tacit tactics.

But in retrospect, these advantages can be washed away in just one or two rounds.

...

To be honest, if Tony Parker hadn't been so determined to regard Li Chen as an imaginary enemy, he might not have such a tragedy... His family would not be in dispute.

On the court, he will gain more confidence.

After all, he is extremely fast, turning like the wind.

However, no one could understand why he had to hit the gun.

In the first half, Li Zhen ignored him at all.

He devoted all his energy to promoting new players, helping them adapt to tactics with a majestic image, and even scolded Yi Jianlian mercilessly, and threw him to the bench in the next round.

The beginning of the new season,

Li Zhen showed a completely different look.

This made the CCTV commentators broadcasting the game unexpected. They originally thought that Yi Jianlian would thrive under the care of Li Zhen after joining New York, and they would establish an extremely harmonious relationship.

However, he actually kicked Yi Jianlian back to the bench because of a missed shot.

This...is too unreasonable.

CCTV commentators don't know how to explain this to fans across the country.

Therefore, CCTV's sideline reporter went to interview Li Zhen during the intermission, and he took the initiative to ask this question.

Li Zhen also told him calmly: "UA has many court habits that need to be changed, and his shots are too slow. He has to adapt his body to the rhythm of the NBA quickly, and he has no time to waste."

"On the court, it's this way of communication. The reason why I will be stricter than him is...he can understand Chinese, while some other new players can't understand English very well."

Li Zhen explained briefly.

This explanation convinced the domestic fans, and they even believed that Yi Jianlian should have someone who is more strict about his technical moves. Only such a strict leader can make him grow faster.

In the second half, Yi Jianlian still got a chance to play.

Li Zhen didn't want to kill him, but to promote him.

However, Yi Jianlian didn't feel very good on the court tonight. His shots were more determined and faster, but his shooting percentage did not stand here.

But Li Zhen still let him play for 6 minutes.

Then Eddie Griffin and Jordan were replaced, and the team entered a fast attack mode.

The two sides ran and bombed for a while.

Then, Tony Parker opened up his 2-minute provocation.

He first showed off his muscles to Li Zhen after a beautiful breakthrough.

Then, after hitting a difficult three-point jumper, he waved his hands vigorously.

In the end, he successfully yelled at Li Zhen by assisting Michael Finley to dunk: You are just relying on Yao Huang! !

The Frenchman is still uneasy about what happened to the Olympics. He believes that if he has Yao Huang, he will definitely be able to do better than Li Zhen.

However, his repeated provocations finally annoyed Li Zhen.

Originally, Li Zhen was furious at DeAndre Jordan's defense. He even criticized whether there was a spring in Jordan's mind: Why do you jump when someone pretends to shoot?

Jordan didn't make any contribution on the defensive end after he came on the court, and his physical talent was blinded in vain.

Although he showed offensive athleticism out of proportion to his size, he made two alley-oops.

However, Li Zhen still hopes that he can contribute on the defensive end.

Because, he has the potential to become a top defensive center.

Therefore, I am very concerned about him, and I am also very angry.

When Li Zhen, who was in a fit of anger, was picked on by the French one after another, he finally couldn't hold back.

Then, the home audience in San Antonio became the first to see how terrifying Li Zhen, whose talent fusion reached 80 percent, was.

Li Zhen first cut through Tony Parker's defense with a wonderful change of direction at the top of the three-point line, and then stepped into the free throw line as lightly as a swallow. When Michael Finley's vicious defense came up, Li Zhen easily spun , just like a swallow's feathers streaking across the water with a light ripple.

The late hero Finley didn't even have time to look back, Li Chen had already stopped and jumped behind him, the whole movement was smooth and flowing, full of elegant beauty.

The basketball was sent softly by Li Zhen. One step inside the free throw line, Li Zhen's shooting was not only better than the textbook standard, but also had a unique charm than the textbook.

The basketball draws a perfect arc... Shua!

The white waves turned up.

Precisely into the basket.

After Li Zhen scored the goal, he turned around and shook his head at Tony Parker dismissively.

The close-up shot accurately captures Li Zhen's demeanor, which is clearly saying: Compared with me, do you deserve it?

Reggie Miller looked at this scene, as if struck by lightning.

Why does Bruce Lee have Michael Jordan's expression of 'I like you but you can't understand me but you can't beat me' on such a handsome face?

Based on Li Zhen's performance in this game, Reggie Miller is more and more sure that Li Zhen has completely embarked on the old path of Michael Jordan's dominance of the league. Obviously a season ago, he was still gentle and refined.

Meanwhile, Li Chen has been extremely aggressive in capturing Tony Parker.

He followed Parker's pace very quickly, forming a tight situation for him.

After the degree of talent fusion has increased to 80%, Li Chen has a deeper understanding of defense, and has added a variety of experiences in the subtleties.

Although it is still not a top defender, it is definitely at the top level among point guards. Especially against this kind of speed guard, he can even be said to be the number one in the league.

Because, his speed is extremely fast, and his explosive power is the best in the league.

So, in one-on-one, Tony Parker just felt uncomfortable everywhere, and he stumbled and brought the ball to the frontcourt.

After finally getting a little space through Duncan's cover, Li Zhen followed up.

His rhythm is chopped.

Then the throw after the breakthrough was disturbed by Li Zhen, and it was outrageous.

When Li Zhen devoted all his energy to defense, Tony Parker was very, very uncomfortable.

Looking back, he tried to copy Li Chen's defense against him.

But...whether it is talent, control of defensive experience, or anticipation of opponents, the French are far behind.

Although he tried his best, he didn't interfere much with Li Zhen, although it also affected Li Zhen's rhythm. But when Li Zhen went deep into the paint, he still hit the basketball steadily with a throw.

This fully shows that Li Zhen has the upper hand in the one-on-one offensive and defensive duel.

"Bruce Lee is completely on the path of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. They are all keen to destroy opponents on both offense and defense. Although, Bruce's offensive level is still far behind the first two."

"But, he's a point guard."

"Well, he is actually a point guard. This is the biggest horror. Can you imagine that Magic Johnson can attack and defend at the same time like Michael Jordan and go one-on-one with others?"

Reggie Miller felt his scalp tingling more and more.

He feels that the young people nowadays are really too fierce.

He was still screaming for Derek Rose last night, and now he is trembling for Li Zhen again.

"The next five to ten years will definitely be the golden age of the NBA." He has long made such predictions. Originally, he thought that as the pan-96 golden generation gradually retreated from the center of the stage, the league would become boring.

But now, he sees the rise of more and more tyrannical newcomers. The quasi-Mesozoic generation like LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Chris Paul are gearing up to take over the stage, followed by fierce players like Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose. Newcomers rob class and seize power.

Most importantly, Bruce Lee started to show the way Jordan dominated the league in the first game of the new season.

Damn!

This alliance is getting more and more interesting.

Both Reggie Miller and Bill Walton in the commentary booth became excited.

However, Popovich's eyebrows are getting more and more tense.

The Knicks' furious and flawed performance tonight gave him a headache. For the first time, he realized that the Spurs had become a decayed and old building that would soon be razed to the ground.

Because... the Knicks tonight are by no means a mature team, they made too many low-level mistakes. But even so, Li Zhen still led them to cling to the score.

Moreover, Bruce has not tried his best in the first three quarters.

He once again chopped Tony Parker's offensive rhythm in Li Zhen, and after completing the end with a layup in the next round, he threw the increasingly superior Tony Parker to the bench.

He felt that the content of his work for the next two or three minutes should be to make Tony Parker give up competing with Li Zhen, and he must be soberly aware: You will never be Bruce's opponent in your life, stop wishful thinking.

Cruel as it was, it was the enlightenment that made Tony Parker's career healthy and orderly.

...

After Tony Parker left the field, the Spurs made a solid move to clear the field, trying to use defense as offense.

But at this time, the Knicks threw the Great Wall of Black and White onto the court, and also threw Yi Jianlian and Francisco on it. It was purely a four-tower tactic.

In the face of absolute heights, the Spurs' tactics once again fell into a passive position.

And, Duncan was disrupted again.

Although Ginobili was as strange as ever, he kept flashing among the giant crowd, and wherever the demon sword went, he caused serious damage.

However, the Knicks still bite the score and are still gaining the lead at a slow pace.

Popovich was dumbfounded.

In the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, Tim Duncan injured his finger in a scramble.

At that time, Popovich made a decision.

He let Duncan off the field and replaced the main force by the way.

At this time, the Spurs were only 3 points behind.

Only San Antonio can do this kind of thing.

Because they don't care about the regular season record, and will take the initiative to give the main players a rest.

The most important thing is that Popovich realized that even if he wins this game, he will win it by a narrow margin. There is no need to make such a tense game in the first game. The physical fitness of all the players has not yet returned to its peak. Every season in the NBA, the most injured players are one or two months after the start of the game.

Old silver coins don't want to take risks. At the same time, he also believes that the Knicks should let other teams go head-to-head and exploit their weaknesses. There is no need for the Spurs to try their best to set an example for other players.

As for the national live broadcast, apart from Tony Parker, the Spurs don't take it seriously. They are pragmatists.

As a result, this match that was supposed to be a pinnacle duel went anticlimactic into garbage time.

The Knicks didn't show mercy.

Li Zhen and Stephen Marbury played at the same time, starting the freshman training mode.

Nothing enhances a new player's experience like actual combat.

Therefore, people can easily see Marc Gasol's post-up singles in the penalty area next.

Yi Jianlian's repeated jump shots after a high pick-and-roll.

Gallinari's three-pointer after a run.

And... DeAndre Jordan and Dragic back-to-back honed experience.

Interestingly, even if the Spurs replaced all the main players, the Knicks did not achieve any big lead.

Still playing very anxious.

This made Popovich very depressed: Why is this team super god and super ghost?

"This is not to be weak when you are strong, and not to be strong when you are weak!!"

Reggie Miller's dumbfounding summary.

Fortunately, Li Zhen finally took over the game at the last moment. He first stole the basketball directly from rookie George Hill, and then rushed into the penalty area for a layup.

Then he teamed up with Gasol to suppress Bonner's layup.

In the end, Gallinari made a three-pointer with the assist.

This is the complete seal of victory.

123:119.

The Knicks won by a narrow margin.

After the game, it was time for Isiah Thomas to pretend: "We didn't intend to win at all, but it still won. How should I say it? Talk is better than nothing."

Forced Wang to look like 'Why did we win again'.

He then also answered questions from reporters asking him how he sees Bruce looking more and more like Michael Jordan on the court.

"Michael Jordan? You're putting gold on his face. When did he average more than a dozen assists per game? Bruce is a point guard, there's no comparison at all."

He denies the question.

But it seems that it is already forming a consensus.

Li Zhen did not accept an interview after the game, and left in a hurry after entering the locker room.

He will go to Texas one step ahead of the team.

Because Scarlett was already there waiting for him.

But at this time, he didn't know that he was starting the biggest off-court disturbance in his life history.
