0062: [Be a thief and a black mamba]
Li Zhen has a very clear understanding of his current ability.
He knows his strengths lie in speed, flexibility, skilful ballness, wide vision and incredible bounce rate. The disadvantage is that the confrontation ability is too weak, and the explosiveness, physical fitness, and coordination can only be barely enough in the NCAA league. Although he has the physical memory of high school Jordan, he can't use it completely without enough physical fitness.
So, he trained hard and irrigated with sweat, hoping to develop new talent spaces and make up for his shortcomings.
Richmond arrives at the arena at noon, and he exchanges information with Li Zhen, who is willing to tell him some information that no one else knows.
Although it is said that now Li Zhen has enough popularity. A large number of reporters rushed to interview him, but... People will always trust the friends they make when they are unknown.
Their relationship is mutually fulfilling and mutually beneficial.
Because the script of the interview with Li Zhen was very popular, Richmond was officially turned positive. Then, because he continued to follow the report and always had more and more detailed content than other media outlets, he began to develop towards the trend of ace journalists, and his salary had already increased twice in a month. In addition, other media began to take the initiative to ask him for manuscripts, and the cost of polishing the pen was very objective.
Correspondingly, if it weren't for Richmond's first report, Li Zhen would not have fermented so quickly to become the NCAA's number one topic star.
Moreover, Richmond's help to Lee Zhen was much more than just propaganda for him.
"As far as I know, Los Angeles Clippers general manager and head coach Mike Dun Levy will be on the court this afternoon, and as Sam Cassell and Katino Mobley age, the Clippers are looking for some potential point guards to develop. Even though a lot of people think they already have Sean Livingston and won't pick another point guard in this year's draft, my insider tells me they're interested in you. So, tonight you have to take your chance. ”
As a journalist, Richmond always gets some information that ordinary people don't know much about. "The Lakers will also have a big man coming tonight, and they've booked five front-row seats in advance. It may seem like a lot of noise, but they're not here for you. They prefer UCLA's Jordan Farm, and Kupchak thinks Jordan Farmar is a better fit to be Kobe Bryant's partner than you. ”
Richmond pouted, "It's funny. ”
Li Zhen raised an eyebrow.
Let's be honest.
He hasn't thought about participating in the NBA Draft yet, although the world is now talking about his draft quotes. Some media said he couldn't make it to the NBA, some said he could make it as a second-round pick, and some said it was the end of the first round. Of course, slam dunk magazines are swearing by the fact that why can't Bruce Lee be a lottery show? Why can't he be invited into the little green house?
Richmond always spared no effort to advocate Li Zhen.
But what Li Zhen wants to do most now is: win this game.
However, this was not what Richmond had in mind, and he felt that Li Zhen had already created enough miracles.
In the face of UCLA's tough team, it is enough to have a big harvest in personal data and have the upper hand in the competition with Jordan Farmal.
As for the victory, he really doesn't think the current Crimson team can beat UCLA.
Unlike other teams, UCLA also has a very fast pace of offense and defense, and they have a full lineup and a high level of chemistry between players.
Therefore, he feels that Li Zhen should try to show himself as much as possible in this game and lay a good foundation for his NBA future.
However, in the end, he still didn't say his advice, because he knew what kind of character Li Zhen was.
……
At 3:45 p.m., 15 minutes before the start of the game.
When Kobe Bryant walked into the crowded Great Western Forum Arena, the arena was instantly boiling, and countless people were shouting at the top of their voices: KOBE! KOBE! KOBE!
The popularity of the Black Mamba in Los Angeles is undeniable.
The various magical scoring performances this season have even led some fans to think that Bryant is good enough to get into the president mountain of the Lakers' passing superstar.
"If you come to Los Angeles, you can also enjoy such intense cheers."
Bryant turned his head, not forgetting to recruit Jason Kidd behind him.
Kidd smiled.
His attention was all on Bruce Lee, who was warming up on the court, and he really spoke highly of Lee. He felt that Bruce Lee could take over the banner of traditional point guard in the NBA if he was thick, and his ability to control the pace and lead the tactics was too strong.
As they took their seats, Jeanie Buss gestured to Jordan Farmar, who was warming up on the other side of the court: "Kobe, Lamar. You can focus on UCLA's No. 1 player later. He is the focus of our investigation. ”
Kobe Bryant immediately looked intently.
Lamar Odom, on the other hand, looked a little drowsy, and he even yawned.
He looked uninterested in everything. It's become a personal identity, and everyone knows that Lamar Odom is amazingly talented, and everyone knows that his concentration is terrible. Reggie Miller has even said more than once that even five percent of his attention on the court is an All-Star level.
It's a pity... It's rare for Lamar Odom to have such moments.
He went to the house of a certain nightingale last night, and with the help of some drugs, he went to the limit of his exercise. These indulgences are rapidly hollowing out his body...... The deal in '04 could even be said to be Lamar Odom for Shaker O'Neal alone. Now, however, Lamar Odom can't even trade back an All-Star forward.
It can be seen how much his talent has been squandered by these undisciplined and unhealthy things.
"Why are you so interested in that number one?" Jason Kidd asked Kobe Bryant with some surprise.
Kobe Bryant has no answer to that question either.
Actually, he cares more about Bruce Lee. The Chinese defender, who has the same name as kung fu superstar Bruce Lee, has long caught his attention: it was only half a month ago that he saw Li Zhen beat Oregon in the NBA's top five.
At that time, he was stunned.
As the NBA Jordan Imitation Game Champion, he never thought there was anyone better at Michael Jordan than himself.
That stunner was exactly the same as the goal Jordan scored when he took out the Jazz.
That shot, Kobe Bryant has imitated countless times, but it is always lacking.
And Li Zhen's ball, no matter the action, technique, and charm, are all seamless, just like the god of basketball.
So, since then, he's been impressed with the NCAA's Bruce Lee. Subsequently, Jordan's 'hand-picked successor' incident brought his attention to the peak.
Now, finally... I met a real person.
Shorter than me, thinner than me... Except for being a little more handsome than me, it doesn't seem to be anything special!
Just as the black mamba was staring at Li Zhen, Li Zhen suddenly turned around, and the two looked at each other instantly.
Kobe Bryant hurriedly avoided his gaze, he was inexplicably a little guilty: it felt really strange to look at a man so closely.
And when he looked down, he finally saw something extraordinary.
Palm!
This kid's palm is so huge? Is this the palm of a 186 defender supposed to have?
He couldn't help but pull out his little short hand.
Goods are compared to goods, people are compared to people.
A faint sadness swirled between his eyes.
