The God of Basketball

The Detroit Pistons fell into the sand at Madison Garden. Their pre-match disasters did not escape the sarcasm of the New York media. Hamilton, who attacked Li Zhen on the field, became the target of public criticism and was regarded as the culprit. input.

"Their times have turned."

Eddie Griffin's cold words on TV became the bold headlines of many media. At the same time, he also dedicated the subtitle: "Anyone who uses dirty moves on Bruce, I will fight back with fire."

Griffin has become the strongest bodyguard in the minds of New York fans through several battles, just like the villain Oakley next to Michael Jordan.

But the difference is that Oakley didn't play very well back then, but Griffin was a real starting forward.

The fact that has to be admitted is that as the Knicks' record is getting better and better, the Knicks players are becoming more and more famous. Randolph and Griffin even have a dedicated discussion area in the fan forum. In addition, Stephen Marbury has become more and more respected. Players with different styles such as Nate Robinson, Swift, Quentin Richardson, and Jamal Crawford have also gained fame in New York State to varying degrees.

Of course, the Knicks' brightest sun is Bruce Lee.

It's just that Li Zhen is not very happy to speak in the media.

He even turned down an offer to leave with Gisele Bundchen in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Even though he'd agreed to appear in Gisele Bundchen's boudoir at midnight tonight, but...he preferred to split up.

Not only because he doesn't want to be stared at by the media and make a big fuss, but more importantly, he is eager to know what level his current offensive strength has reached.

The 4-point coordination from Hamilton allows him to use his body more fluidly.

His breakthrough became more fierce, especially when he changed direction, he suddenly combined with the ball... It felt like a burst.

Moreover, he can have more instant response changes during the march.

To a certain extent, his breakthrough ability has achieved a qualitative leap because of these 4 points of coordination ability.

Bigger leaps come from scoring inside the box.

Li Zhen found that not only did he have a sharper breakthrough, but also he was more comfortable in controlling his body when working in mid-air. Pulling the bar, turning sideways, folding, changing hands...etc. The ability to finish the basket has improved extremely rapidly.

There is also a qualitative leap in throws and emergency stop jumpers in the paint.

If Li Zhen's shooting percentage in the paint area reached 60% in the training state before, then he can almost reach 85% in the training state now.

Even if Jeffries came over to defend one-on-one, his shooting percentage was close to 60%.

This is an extremely astonishing statistic.

Stephen Marbury, who stayed in Madison Garden after the game, praised sincerely: "Your breakthrough is a bit like the combination of Tim Hardaway and Anfernee Hardaway. However, your penalty area scoring is very similar to Iverson."

"I think your overall strength can be ranked among the top 20 in the league."

When Marbury said this, even Li Zhen was shocked.

TOP20 ah.

"Integrating your ability to understand tactics, execution ability, and assist series technology, this ranking is not an exaggeration at all, and it can even be higher." Stephen Marbury continued: "You are already a superstar. If you can If you reach the top 10 in the league, you are a superstar. But I think it will be a matter of time, and you should enter the historical superstar, or even the President Hill level superstar."

Marbury has very high expectations for Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen really didn't think so far.

He just keeps training.

After nearly two hours of extra practice, Stephen Marbury still hasn't left.

This made Li Zhen understand that Marbury must have something to say to himself.

So, he stopped training.

He chatted with Marbury.

Sure enough, Marbury talked about a very critical issue: "Your offensive ability has been greatly improved now, and your playing time has also increased. Have you ever thought about another thing, Jamal's position in the team is rapidly being marginalized."

Forehead…….

Marbury didn't mention it, Li Zhen really didn't think seriously.

But after mentioning it this way, Li Zhen did realize the problem.

Crawford's sense of presence is indeed much weaker than last season, and his playing time and performance space are shrinking.

This is the cruelty of the NBA, basketball is just one. Li Zhen's scoring average has increased by 7.2 points this season, and it is still rising. This must have embezzled the scores of other players. Coupled with the arrival of Zach, the Knicks added another scoring point with an average of 20+ shots per game, and there are even fewer opportunities on the outside.

"He should go to a place that is more suitable for him." Stephen Marbury suggested very seriously: "His future in the Knicks will continue to compress as you grow."

Marbury's words made Li Zhen feel guilty of "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me".

But at the same time, he also decided to have a good talk with Jamal.

In the evening, Li Zhen came to Gisele Bundchen's home with this 'little trouble', and Gisele quickly licked the frown on Li Zhen's forehead. Then, she started to take the initiative... The world's number one supermodel is always keen to go off the beaten path.

Li Zhen was open-minded and let her manipulate her for a while.

But in the end, let her witness how steel is tempered.

Li Chen always puts 100% effort in making steel in the steel furnace, because he finds that his sweat on this matter can activate the talent space more.

So, woman, the fire you light is up to you to put out.

...

Isiah Thomas finally assembled his coaching team, Stevens from Butler University's prospective head coach, and Boris, the chief assistant coach from Georgetown University.

Plus... Jamie Lin and shooting coach Alan Houston.

The Knicks' five-person assistant coaching team has been put in place.

Jamie Lin is in charge of the co-ordination, he is the leader of the teaching assistant team and the legal commander of Isiah Thomas. Stevens collects plays and studies opponents' strategies. Boris from Georgetown is responsible for training the defense. This famous NCAA steel city is famous for its defense. Boris is from John Thompson and John Thompson III. His defensive system has long been a treasure.

The first game the coaching staff formed was the Mavericks from Dallas.

The Mavericks have been miserable for two consecutive seasons.

The position of General Johnson is already in jeopardy, and Mark Cuban's trust in him has declined visible to the naked eye.

Recently, the Mavericks have flirted with the New Jersey Nets on the other side of the Hudson River. The Dallas people have been coveting Jason Kidd for a long time. Lose the yellow face and start a new journey.

The game against the Mavericks was lackluster.

Although the Dallas people tried to give the Knicks a little aggressive when they came up.

However, in a blink of an eye, Li Zhen stole the ball from Jason Terry of the Jets, and then used his sharp change of direction to cut Josh Howard's defense. After going deep into the free throw line, he stopped for a jumper before the second center in the West, Dampier, pounced. , shot... Shua!

Li Zhen easily completed the attack.

Madison Garden was boiling, and Isiah Thomas was like a coach on a football field, raising his hands above his head, very excited... This is his only sense of presence in every game. Because now he completely handed over the tactical command to Jamilin, and he didn't even put on a few pretentious pointers.

Because... he has made a 'disclaimer', and now he is supporting newcomers.

Who dares to criticize him?

Besides, none of the famous coaches in the NBA has any troubles.

Compared to the high-spirited Isiah Thomas, the young general Johnson is holding his head in pain. Although the game has just started, he has realized that no one can defend Bruce Lee who penetrates deep into the penalty area and can complete an emergency stop jumper.

"When everyone knows what you are going to do, but they just can't guard you. It means that you are a superstar in the NBA."

Before the game, Isiah Thomas said this to Li Zhen. "Tonight, you should prove it to the world."

After watching Li Zhen's pre-match training, Thomas immediately ignited a strong confidence.

And, he began to polish his postgame speech in his head: this is his most important job every game.

Swish!

Nowitzki used his precise golden chicken independent jumper to maintain the dignity of the Mavericks. Even though Eddie Griffin almost stuck to him with his long arms and legs, his aim remained unchanged.

This is the style of a superstar.

Li Chen is now trying to set foot in the field of superstars.

Looking back, Li Zhen still murdered Jason Terry's defense.

He doesn't have the slightest fake slow motion.

Go up and it's... bang! boom!

The classic killer crossover wins purely with speed and explosive power.

After the coordination talent reaches 90, facing a defender of Jason Terry's level, he always does whatever he wants.

Poor Jason Terry, half a year ago he was able to bully Li Zhen with his body, and he even pointed out his little butt for a back-to-back single.

Now, though, he couldn't even see Bruce's taillights.

call out!

The world is always so cruel.

After a lightning cut, Li Zhen arrived in the Mavericks restricted area. Dampier finally came up quickly this time... To be honest, this guy's defense is pretty good among centers.

However, Li Zhen just hit the ground when he changed hands, the basketball entered the basket, and Zach Randolph easily reached out with his long arm.

After receiving the basketball, he hooked it with a backhand...and scored softly.

Stevens on the bench gave Boris a high-five excitedly. This tactic was drawn on the tactic board by himself before. His excitement at seeing it come to life in the NBA is beyond words.

But Jamilin was used to it. He raised his eyebrows and told the two guys as someone who had been there: "There will be many such scenes in the future."

certainly.

Both Stevens and Boris believed this, otherwise they would not have gone to New York.
