The God of Basketball

"It's the God of Basketball ()" Find the latest chapter!

It is well known that the Houston Rockets have seen a visible increase in strength this year. They only lost one game in the preseason, and all of them won with crushing control.

Since the beginning of last season, the Rockets have basically bid farewell to the old disease of weakness in the final quarter.

Because Yao Huang has lost weight, his weight has dropped visible to the naked eye, which greatly increases his mobility and relieves the pressure on his knees and ankles.

He can use his skills more freely...he has proved to the world that he is a master of the classic center. He is even more gorgeous than Sabonis, the roof of the world back then.

And this...of course it is all thanks to a phone call from Li Chen in the 2009 playoffs. If Yao Huang forced to play at that time, he was likely to be reimbursed directly for the season, instead of jumping out of the player option this season and signing the largest contract ever created by a Chinese player in the NBA.

Of course, Yao Huang's entry into the peak state in history is not only due to weight loss and the choice to withdraw from the game in 2009 for treatment. The bigger reason is that the appearance of Li Zhen gave the Chinese team more confidence.

He doesn't need to run at both ends anymore, he has enjoyed three leisurely vacations in a row, and he has more time to relax his body and adjust his state. Because after the national team won the Olympic gold medal in 2008, the achievements of the leaders have been preserved, and they are also confident and open. Anyway, Li Zhen is still there when the sky is falling.

Why not let young people carry more burdens. Don't ask the master to come back from the Asian competition, this spread... more or less a little bit of martial arts.

Therefore, Li Zhen and Yao Huang did not go back to the Asian Championships this summer, and they were all handed over to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian practiced in New York for two years, and she was influenced by Li Zhen's side. Coupled with the influence of Randolph and others, she became more vicious and cunning. He led the team to easily win the championship at home.

If Yi Jianlian was still an ignorant power forward two years ago, now...he has even touched the threshold of an elite player in the NBA. His physical fitness is still strong, and his shooting is more accurate. Moreover, his understanding of defense and positioning is getting deeper and deeper... He can even flop, elbow, and talk trash.

Randolph is indispensable.

He doesn't have many opportunities to play in Miami in the new season, but... After finishing the last year of this year's rookie contract, some teams will offer him a contract, not to mention reaching the ceiling level of Li Zhen and Yao Huang. A contract of around one million to ten million is not a problem at all.

If it is operated properly, there is also a chance to get 60 million US dollars in 5 years.

After all, a power forward who can shoot, defend and do some dirty work is a rare commodity in the NBA these days.

Generally speaking, Li Zhen made the people who followed him better. Just imagine... People like Swift can get into the super pension contract, let alone others.

Of course, another reason why the Rockets have become strong this year is that Rick Adelman recruited love general Kevin Martin from Satmento.

Also, they cut Tracy McGrady.

Finally, there is no superstar in their team who is sluggish and speaks sourly every day.

The entire locker room was clean.

Currently, Mr. Tracy McGrady, the former scoring champion and winner of the NBA's first straight calf, is actively seeking a basic salary contract.

He has no way to retire, because once he retires, Adidas has reason to deduct his endorsement amount.

Recently, I heard that he was connected with the New York Knicks.

The attitude of the New York Knicks is ambiguous. On the one hand, LeBron James praised Tracy McGrady on TV as the most versatile person he has ever seen. Of course, he is welcome to join.

On the other hand, Jerry West, who spends money like water this summer, is making things difficult for his agent in every possible way: the landlord's family has no surplus food, and we may not be able to provide you with a full basic salary....

It has to be said that the superstar has fallen to this point because of his personality.

...

The strength of the Rockets has been recognized by authority,

In ESPN's strength rankings for the new season, Houston ranks seventh in the league. Standing in front of them are only: New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls.

Therefore, basically all pre-match predictions believe that the Los Angeles Clippers will lose the opening game at home, and Li Zhen will use a failure to write the beginning of his Clippers career.

But anyway, this is the most watched game.

This is a duel between the best point guard and the best center in basketball today, and they are all Chinese.

Therefore, ESPN did not hesitate to choose to broadcast the game live instead of choosing the same time to start the game.

After all, there are battles between cattle and horses every year. As for the opening game between the Clippers and the Rockets, it's one less time to watch.

"I think Yao Huang, who has lost weight, has played Princeton tactics to an incredible level. Not only can he still attack with transcendent size and flexible skills in the penalty area. But don't forget... Yao Huang's shooting range has been able to expand to three points on-line."

"Although his coping ability is not as good as Divac's. But Divac's offensive level is at least one Al Jefferson away from Yao Huang."

Chris Webb is the best person to judge Princeton's tactical system.

He and Adelman hand in hand to create the most brilliant moment of his career. But now, he thinks that the Rockets' Princeton tactics are more perfect and more practical than the Kings'.

Although the Rockets did not introduce star players during the offseason, they also recruited a group of elite soldiers. Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Brad Miller, Jordan Hill, Sean Battier, Kyle Lowry, Courtney Lee…….

In contrast, the Los Angeles Clippers are really hard to describe.

The ESPN experts hesitated for a long time, and couldn't tell the Clippers' current tactical system.

I can only say one thing: They are playing talented basketball now, but they have a promising future.

...

In the opening game of the Clippers, another Disney princess escaped. Miley Cyrus heard the news that Taylor Swift had successfully fulfilled her wish in Las Vegas, and she couldn't wait to come and end her long-cherished wish.

So, she looked crazy, she put on Li Zhen's jersey and shouted for him from the sidelines.

However, when she came to the court, she realized that she was sloppy.

Once upon a time, the front row of the Clippers could only be described as empty, and there would be no Los Angeles socialites coming to see a Clippers game.

But tonight, with the arrival of Bruce.

On the sidelines, there are so many ladies from Los Angeles, fat and thin, each with their own styles.

People who didn't know thought it was a Paris Fashion Week show.

When these girls are bold or conservative, exposed or gentle, Miley Cyrus feels that she has no chance of winning. I should have known... I should have come here in a bikini.

Not to mention, there were female models in the back rows who took off their coats to reveal the swimsuits inside, and the swimsuits were marked with the big number 10 I love you.

well!

These people don't care about basketball.

Li Zhen patted himself on the forehead, he felt a headache for the unscrupulous open culture on the west coast. Although this phenomenon also occurs in New York, it is not so common and crazy after all.

"Aside from other things, Bruce came to Los Angeles, and he really came to the right place." Reggie Miller joked on TV with a smile.

"I heard that the ticket price of the Los Angeles Clippers has increased by 30% compared with last season, and they have begun to try to approach the price of the Los Angeles Lakers. Today, their attendance rate has reached more than 95%, which is the highest rate for the Clippers in recent years. Best opening ever at the box office."

"Bruce's charm is really great."

"But he has to use basketball to bring real fans into the arena."

The ESPN commentators had a lot of talk before the game.

At this time, players from both sides walked to the court.

The lineup sent by the Clippers is: Mario Chalmers, Li Zhen, Paul George, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.

Two first-year rookies (this is Griffin's actual first season), plus two 2008 rookies.

Li Zhen's behavior is really risky, and he also plays double point guards. Is this going to run and gun to the end?

In contrast, Houston's proven starting lineup: Yao Huang, Scola, Sean Battier, Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry.

"I didn't expect you to be so thin and have such a big head."

"Howard asked me to bring you a message. He said he would get the No. 1 center back."

Before the start of the game, Li Zhen shook hands with Yao Huang and gave the reporters on the sidelines some time to take pictures. For Chinese fans, this is a historic picture.

Yao Huang laughed.

After losing weight, his figure is well-proportioned, but his head does look a bit big. "This is called a gyroscope, which stabilizes the direction."

"As for Howard, let him wait."

Yao Huang is quite humorous.

It will soon enter the official competition.

Although Mr. Yao has lost a lot of weight, his jumping ability is still his weakness, and... he also controls himself not to jump too much. After all, technical flow, which technical flow does not deal with the floor.

Snapped!

Relying on his super long wingspan and guard-level bounce, Jordan easily patted the basketball to Mario Chalmers.

Although Chalmers has no creative ability, he has been mature and prudent since the NCAA, which is why Li Zhen named him to trade him from Miami.

When Chalmers holds the ball and advances steadily.

Li Zhen calmly directed the other players to take their positions, and Adelman was stunned.

The retired players in the commentary were also stunned.

Why the sudden change of tone?

Isn't it good to play talented basketball?

Why did it suddenly become a positional attack?

It is rumored that the Clippers intend to invite Larry Brown to come out. Is the Clippers really planning to engage in a piston system? But do they have this ability?

Just when everyone was at a loss and no one dared to make a statement first.

Li Zhen slowly leaned on Kevin Martin on the left side of the free throw line, and then reached out for the ball.

The incredible thing is.

In the early years, Li Zhen was known for his weak strength, but now he is stuck behind Kevin Martin, who is 201 tall, and Martin can't move at all, watching him take the basketball from Chalmers.

Li Zhen received the basketball and turned around quickly.

His movements are very elegant, even the tentative steps are so perfect.

When he took a step forward, Kevin Martin retreated subconsciously.

But at the same time as he was retreating, Li Zhen approached quickly, and while Martin raised his hands, he suddenly turned around... The turning movement was extremely fast and elegant, and his movements were clean like a dancer.

Kevin Martin lost Li Zhen's sight in an instant.

At this time, Li Zhen had already turned around and shot a jumper... His movements were extremely standard, and... Shua!

The precise mid-range shot pierced the Rockets' basket without any suspense.

Staples Arena erupted in cheers.

Standing on the sidelines, Isiah Thomas couldn't help being a little surprised: Bruce has improved so much, his singles is quite a bit of a master level.

Is his mid-range shot so consistent now?

Isiah Thomas is full of doubts.

That's right, Li Zhen's mid-range shooting is so stable now. Within the free throw line, he can hit at least 80% of his jump shots when no one is guarding him.

This is the benefit of increasing talent fusion to 88%.

Moreover, with his coordination talent reaching 98, flexibility talent reaching 96, agility talent reaching 96, plus 101 explosive power and 95 speed.

His back-up singles experience may not be as rich as Kobe's, and because of the thickness of his side, his stability is not as good as Kobe's. But... only in terms of the fluency of turns, assaults, and turnaround jump shots, Kobe is no longer his opponent.

Li Zhen's flexible talent has surpassed Kobe.

What he lacks now is time to polish, until the skills are further proficient, the talent is further improved, and the degree of talent fusion is improved again.

Li Zhen can definitely surpass Kobe in singles ability, and even surpass Michael Jordan. Even though his barefoot height is only 193.

If you add his passing ability and the overall situation. It was only a matter of time before he became the new basketball god.

For other superstars in the league, it is undoubtedly winter-is-coming.

But they didn't feel it at this time, and they even mocked Li Chen more or less deep in their hearts: Why are they so willful? Wouldn't it be good to stay in New York and continue to win the championship with the existing team?

"Li Chen has shown unprecedented singles ability, and now he looks like a classical shooting guard." Reggie Miller was shocked on TV. His singles against Kevin Martin made Reggie Miller see the shadow of Michael Jordan's dominance... They are old rivals. Jordan used this kind of strong-side singles to suppress the entire league. Kobe later took over His class, but less dominant.

Now, I didn't expect that Li Zhen, as the number one point guard in active service, would also embark on this path.

While other commentators continued to observe, Reggie Miller had already begun to talk: "I think most people still underestimate Bruce. His preseason may be of no reference."

While talking, Little Qiaodan locked Yao Huang.

Jordan is one of the few centers in today's league who are closest to Yao Huang in terms of height, and his athletic ability is extremely strong.

If Yao Huang didn't lose weight, he could easily force Jordan in the penalty area.

After losing weight, although Yao Huang's flexibility and speed have greatly increased, his ability to back up in the penalty area has weakened, and this...is the only weakness of Jordan on the defensive end.

He stared at Yao Huang closely, from the high position to the low position.

And Li Zhen chased Kevin Martin fiercely, and he showed his aggressiveness on the defensive end. At this time, Li Zhen may still be a little bit powerless in the face of heavy guards, but facing this kind of cut-type guards and those speed-type guards is simply one-size-fits-all.

The two points that the improvement of talent fusion can greatly help Li Chen's strength are: shooting percentage and defensive accuracy.

When Yao Huang was entangled, the number one outside attacker was locked up.

Princeton's tactics got stuck for a moment.

Although Princeton's offensive tactics are a free-style offensive mode with no fixed structure and five predetermined tactical routines, its purpose is to start first.

But when you have two important players being choked, you can talk about doing whatever you want.

Luis Scola for singles.

The Argentinian old fox tricked the young and frivolous Blake Griffin away with twisted and twisted steps, and completed a muddy layup... Shua.

"Remember next time, don't jump. He is not as tall as you, and without you hitting him, you can restrain him on the floor."

When Li Zhen returned to the defense, he called the bear boy and told him: "Your performance on the defensive end is as impatient as those three-second men. You must hold back, even if you change a few more positions?"

Blake Griffin thought to himself, yeah.

It turns out that there is such a wonderful linkage between the purpose of defense and the affairs of the boudoir. Every time I can't defend, I will slap my butt and change my position. If I rush forward, I will probably have to disarm...just like the defense just now. Can no longer be let out by his twisting and turning.

Griffin understood.

He likes this teaching mode, which is concise and to the point, understands by analogy, and reveals infinite common sense of life.

Bruce is really a famous teacher of a generation!

Easy side to fight again.

Li Zhen still wants to play singles.

But this time, it was Shane Battier who guarded him.

Battier is known as the cleanest defender in the NBA and the number one blindfolded defender.

Moreover, he is extremely experienced in defending post-up singles. He has played against Kobe for many years, and his failure experience in this area is simply too rich.

And Li Zhen... soon added new failure experience to him.

Now that Li Zhen, who has a strength talent of 86 points, has plenty of physical fitness, it is impossible for ordinary defenders to push him out.

Facing Sean Battier's simple and unpretentious defense, Li Zhen used a spin to get rid of it very coolly and sharply, and after making a pass fake, he tricked Battier away, turned over and hit a jumper again!

At that time, Battier had a feeling.

It's going to change.

Following Kobe Bryant's inability to defend, there will be an uncontrollable technical flow in the West.

Li Zhen's singles skills are completely born out of the line of Kobe and Jordan.

It's just that his movements are more agile, his turns are sharper, and...his direction changes are too sharp, and his explosive power and speed are really not what Kobe can care about today. All he could think of was Michael Jordan on tape.

What's more, this guy has such a terrifying passing ability.

When Battier returned to the defense, he even spread his palm helplessly.

This scene was captured by the camera lens and passed on to thousands of households as it was.

"Even Battier can't do anything?" Chris Webber was surprised: "God, this guy continues to grow, how terrible is he? I even suspect that even if LeBron James forms a Big Three alliance, there will be at most one Can win 1 or 2 championships. Bruce continues to grow, and he will definitely become a behemoth in the West."

Chris Webber thought a little too far.

Reggie Miller suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is why Li Zhen dared to play half-court offense."

"So, pre-season we all got scammed."

...

Back on the defensive end, Griffin successfully limited Scola after being instructed. Deep in his heart, he imagined Scola as an aunt selling vegetables in the vegetable market, with a full body, why should a spherical creature lure me to jump?

When the bear child was full of disgust for Scola, he began to change the floor posture to deal with the Argentine's showing off skills.

In the case of overall superiority in physical fitness.

Scola twisted and turned helplessly.

Had to pass the basketball back to Yao Huang, Yao Huang used his excellent offensive ability to forcibly eat Jordan.

But before he ate Jordan, he was almost robbed by Paul George.

Paul George showed his keen sense of smell and physical fitness on the defensive end. He suddenly turned around and double-teamed so that Yao Huang could only make a hasty shot.

If it weren't for Yao Huang's superb skills, if he were another center forward, he would definitely be in a dead end.

Adelman stood on the sidelines and racked his brains: All the players of the Clippers are naturally against us.

Kyle Lowry was tricked by Chalmers, Sean Battier couldn't handle Li Zhen's strong side singles, Scola had no charm in front of the champion, and even Yao Huang was caught by Jordan to a certain extent. consume. And that new rookie, he's tough, he's a solid defensive player, and he's a full-size small forward.

"Isiah Thomas' ability to select rookies is still the best in the league." Reggie Miller sincerely admired.

At the same time, the audience in front of the TV has changed their previous impression of the Clippers. It turns out that Los Angeles not only plays talented basketball, they can also play positions, and it is a clear triangular logic.

When Reggie Miller called out the name of the tactic, he wanted to call Phil Jackson and let him see that the Clippers are becoming what he most wants.

This also fully shows that in the battle between Li Zhen and Zen Master last season, who is the more reasonable side.

Of course, the clearer fact is: apart from hooking up with female stars and having an illegitimate child scandal, Li Zhen didn't delay his training at all this summer, and he has improved again! And the progress is terrible, he turned into a real shooting guard.

He is also a shooting guard with full passing ability.

When he plays singles on the strong side, guards such as Paul George, Gordon Hayward, and Chalmers roaming on the weak side, as well as Griffin and Jordan in the penalty area all get ample opportunities.

As long as the opponent double-teams, he will pass the basketball over immediately.

No one can stop his tandem, and his lethality is multiplying.

Although the experience of the rookies is not rich enough.

But this style of relying on one's own ability to continuously feed the rookies will accelerate the growth of the rookies.

So as to achieve the effect of supporting war with war.

"The Clippers are on the same path as the Knicks. It's just that Bruce has changed it in a completely different way." Reggie Miller worshiped on TV: "This is the most versatile character I have ever seen since playing basketball. Le Brown James is a far cry from him!"

Such praise is well deserved.

The Clippers clung to the score all the way, which made the experts in front of the TV unexpected.

At the same time, they felt thankful that this time they finally didn't make a prediction like before, otherwise they would definitely be slapped in the face again.

However, this game also exposed some problems.

Li Zhen's physical fitness is still the key to restricting the Clippers from going further.

When he entered the field of strong-side singles, his physical energy consumption was faster than before, and he had to take care of support and defense at the same time.

In addition, the experience of the rookies is too lacking.

The game was almost overturned at the end, if it wasn't for Li Zhen hitting a lucky shot from beyond the three-point line.

The Rockets will still take this victory away.

Therefore, after Li Zhen hit that shot, he secretly expressed his gratitude.

Off to a good start!

The post-match press conference was still an Isiah Thomas style output.

The team consultant also serves as the head coach of the team.

Since Jamelin didn't like dealing with the media, he let Isiah Thomas do the show.

"It's not difficult for us to beat Houston. We are born to restrain them. It is impossible to find a player in the league who can limit Yao better than Jordan, and it is impossible to find a player who can limit Kevin Martin better than Bruce."

"So, winning has long been expected."

"About the team's change of offensive rhythm, this is a normal consideration. We have always had no moves to win and have moves. Tonight's fast break, tomorrow's position, it's hard to say, genius thinking is not something ordinary people can follow."

Isaiah is always so calm. From his conversation, you will never hear any hardships. He will not respond to the topic of the team being overturned by the Rockets in the third quarter and almost being taken away by a wave in the fourth quarter.

And when the reporter asked what he thought of the Knicks' 22-point victory over the Boston Big Three in the opening game, he was very calm: "Young people don't talk about martial arts."

Forehead.

Is there any martial ethics in this thing?

Obviously, Boston's skills are not as good as others.

[Six thousand word chapter, today is just this one. I played mahjong all day and one night the day before yesterday, and my state was a little interrupted, and I am looking for it. PS, today another big boss rewarded 10,000 starting coins, plus the previous big boss. I guess I added two chapters this week and returned them. Also, continue to ask for monthly tickets!
