After confirming that there was no problem on the bench, Lee Jin stepped onto the court two minutes later.

By this time, the Knicks had reextended their score to 12 points. Isaiah Thomas also took the opportunity to replace Stephen Marbury, Eddie Curry, Quentin Richardson and other main players.

Instead, they were replaced by Steve Francis, Jeffries, David Lee and Channing Fry, plus Jamal Crawford, who has been a standout performer.

Isaiah Thomas has been developing youngsters, with the likes of David Lee, Jeffries, Channingfrye and even Nate Robinson all in his long-term plans: after so many junk contracts, he has to work on his rookie career.

But it seems... The rookies he picks don't have the qualities of a good defensive player.

Li Zhen's first ball after returning to the court was a straight line into the restricted area and hit the basketball into the basket with a flowing layup backhand.

Steve Francis, who was defending him at the top of the arc, was like an ornament in front of him, and he didn't even understand what was going on, and Li Zhen had already flashed past him.

Francis is no longer the explosive kid who was full of explosive energy and can exceed one meter two in a casual jump. Since being traded to the Magic by the Houston Rockets, he has entered the fast lane of declining form, and since joining New York, it is like a tadpole finding his mother, and he seems to be happy in heaven.

Now, he has completely reduced to a little fat man with slow movements, broken rhythm, hazy eyes, and sluggish thinking.

Therefore, it is easier for Li Zhen to cross him than to cross the road in the early morning.

To the surprise of the Lakers coaching staff, "Bruce seems to be moving faster than before?" Moreover, he had a confrontation with Channingfrye in the air just now, and his movements were not deformed, and he steadily put the basketball into the basket. ”

Brian Shaw was very surprised and said: "Could it be that Eddie Curry pressed so much that he put all the power on Bruce??" ”

Although he was a joke, the strict old Winter still gave him a blank look: "Channingfrye's confrontation ability is already weak." Don't joke about this kind of thing. ”

Forehead....

Brian Shaw quickly shut up.

At the same time, Li Zhen has taken the initiative to pick Jamal Crawford.

Crawford is a strong prowess, with incredible ball skills and rhythm, and he will be caught by the slightest mistake and knocked out in one fell swoop. Before, whether it was Jordan Farmar or Smash Parker or even Sasha Vuljacic, it was ineffective when defending him.

But when Li Zhen went up.

A shrewd puzzler meets a sophisticated guesser.

Li Zhen always anticipates opportunities and reacts accordingly.

Moreover, he is supported by Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown.

So, Jamal Crawford was instantly uncomfortable, and his opportunity to infiltrate inward was quickly lost. He could only make a pull-up jump shot...... Bang!

Striking iron.

Although Li Zhen's bounce height is not enough, the bounce speed is very amazing, and a pair of long hands give him strong interference.

"Look. That's how Bruce's defense works. He has a big advantage over this kind of skillful, rhythmic attacker. Old Winter was full of praise on the bench.

This made Bynum, who was sitting behind him, very unhappy and anxious: Why didn't he replace Marbury? Let Marbury go up and crush him with his body!!

While he was anxious, Li Zhen had already launched a rapid offensive like a bamboo. He didn't even give Francis a chance to make contact, and he was already in the front court by the same time Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound.

When he received the ball, Jeffrees had just come up on the defense, and he quickly hit the ball, and the basketball accurately found Radmanovic who ran out of the open space.

European mercenaries catch the ball in the open space and hit a three-pointer with ease...... Swish!

The basketball's catch quickly shrunk the score to 7 points.

This has greatly increased Bynum's crisis: Is this about to turn the tide again? Francis, what the hell are you doing? Anyway, if you're a former All-Star, a guard with a maximum salary, can you tolerate this guy being so unscrupulous in front of you?

Francis gives the answer with action: Yes.

Like a security guard clocking in to work, he took the ball past half-court and passed it to Jamal Crawford, then ran to the top of the arc for a walk.

And Li Zhen has long been switched to Crawford's side.

Crawford hated Lee Zhen's defense very much, even though Lee's defense never touched his body. But this guy is like a ghost, and his cheetah-like sense of smell makes him quite uncomfortable.

And also... Who said this guy is physically inferior? Who said his lateral movement wasn't fast?

Jamal was uncomfortable.

This time, he finally insisted on going his own way, relying on his slightly better explosiveness and physical strength, and entered the paint area with the advantage of attacking initiative. But then Eddie Griffin quickly came up to the defense...... Frightened, he quickly handed over the flash, and after a quick step, he quickly passed the basketball out.

But Francis didn't catch the ball and was stolen by Vujasic.

At the same time, Li Zhen had quickly turned back.

Vujacic, who was educated by Kobe Bryant, deeply understood the truth of 'let the leader go first', and quickly passed the basketball over. Lee Zhen received the basketball and smashed into the paint area, and David Lee faced him and fell into the defensive Rashomon.

But Li Zhen still gave him a pleasure after all, he forced David Li to change back in two deep steps, threw the basketball into the sky, and Eddie Griffin came to the sky...... Rumble!

Another violent buckle.

7：0。

The margin narrowed to 5 points.

Isaiah Thomas hurriedly replaced Nate Robinson on the court, and Uncle Francis walked like this again, even if the Knicks had a fifty-point lead, it would not be necessary.

Bynum was even more heart-scratching. He originally wanted to use this game to expose Li Zhen's true face, after all, the right time, place and people are on his side.

Who knew he had met a Francis.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid This is only a technical adjustment. Marbury will be up soon, and Phil Jackson will definitely practice the triangle attack later, and Li Zhen will definitely not be able to fight for long. As long as the Knicks win, I can still get the results I want.

Andrew Bynum kept hinting at himself in his heart.

But there was constant praise from the coaching team in front of him. "Bruce Lee is so good at defending!" "Bruce is really a genius point guard, his passing is so beautiful." "If he had Kobe's physicality, he would be the No. 1 point guard in the league!!"

The owner of these words is all Brian Shaw.

What a broken mouth.

Bynum kept slandering, and at the moment he hated Brian Shaw.

It's just that what he didn't know was that on the commentary bench of CBS's national live broadcast, New York's legendary defender Fraser praised it more explicitly. "Bruce's approach to basketball is what a Michelin-starred chef treats pasta." "If he comes to New York, we'll definitely be able to change the current situation. He's a New Yorker! "I'm willing to be the head of the Bruce Lee recruiting group." "To be honest, the Lakers can't give Bruce Lee anything at all, Kobe Bryant is too selfish. Partnering with a player like Kobe Bryant will only make Bruce Lee even more constrained. "The triangle offense doesn't suit Bruce, he doesn't need tactics, he just needs the ball......"

Fraser's wanton hype even confused the audience: Is it really that good? He just made a couple of good passes on the bad Knicks.

However, it doesn't matter what the audience thinks. Importantly... Knicks owner James Dolan, who tunes in to CBS, was very attentive to the Knicks legend's remarks.

Li Zhenda is full of ornamentation, and there are always amazing moves. If he does come to the Knicks, there will definitely be a very different chemistry than it is now, although there is a good chance that the results will not improve much. But at least he will sweep away the current malaise, he is a good boy, and he can make the team more positive and win more praise in the city.

Why don't we give it a try?

James Dolan called the club president after Lee Zhen beat Nate Robinson again and assisted Kwame Brown for a layup with a beautiful through ball.

He ordered the team to get the up-and-coming star in a trade, and he stressed that any chips could be used.

Donnie Walsh, the president on the other end of the phone, was stunned: After Isaiah Thomas's 'brilliant' operation in the past few years, what leverage do we have?

At the same time, James Dolan yelled into the TV again.

After Nate Robinson hit the basket, Bruce Lee provided another beautiful assist, with an exaggerated back-turn move past the little potato, and then used a ground-and-pound pass through Jeffrees' pants to pass the basketball to Radmanovic from beyond the three-point line, and Radmanovic hit an easy 3-pointer.

The wonderful cooperation not only made James Dolan scream, but the fans at the scene were even more immersed in the gorgeous performance.

They even forgot about the three points and wiped out their lead.

The last four minutes of the first half were completely reduced to a show of individual skill by Lee Jin, who showed his unrivalled ball handling skills and uncatchable passing imagination under a loose defence.

The halftime whistle blew.

68：65。

The Lakers, who were playing away, were ahead by 3 points.

It is worth mentioning that Bruce Lee had 8 points and 10 assists in his limited playing time.

That's already above his average, plus his saving moves on the pitch.

In the second half, even if he didn't do anything, he had already earned his trust.

So, Andrew Bynum was a little unable to sit still.

On his way back to the dressing room, he hinted to the old coach Winter: I think I can play in the second half.

But old Winter looked at him with a caring look for the mentally retarded: Why are you playing?

"We didn't sign you up, you can't play this game. Play the Pistons in the next game, you can play well. ”

Old Winter tried to say something peaceful.

Piston?

Bynum's brain is buzzing, what is the difference between Detroit's exclusion zone and a sea of knives and fire?

At the age of eighteen, he finally realized that he might be shooting himself in the foot.

Stephen Marbury, meanwhile, argues with Isaiah Thomas in the locker room, arguing that Thomas is deliberately targeting himself: "If you put me on the court, that kid can't lead the Lakers' offense at all." I'm going to make him uncomfortable and unable to move!! ”

Marbury swears by it.

However, there was something strange in the eyes of Nate Robinson and Crawford, and they both felt that Marbury was overly optimistic.

It was Francis who was there to help: yes, yes, I don't think this guy is a big deal.

Well??

Isaiah Thomas looked over, and after he was sure that Francis was not joking, he shook his head helplessly with a wry smile.

At this moment, he really felt that he was deeply guilty. looked at Eddie Curry who was eating KFC, Jerome James who was wearing his western nails, Quentin Richardson who took out his mobile phone and started taking a selfie, and Francis, who was obviously unable to play but still commanded with a high profile, and Marbury next to him, who was 'you especially targeting Lao Tzu, the world's No. 1 point guard'.

What have I done all these years?

The smiling assassin finally sighed.

He knows... If he doesn't let Marbury play in the future, he will definitely go around talking about his small belly. So, he simply told Marbury: "If you think you can limit Bruce Lee, then you can stay on the court for the second half." ”

When Marbury heard this, he immediately became proud.

even wanted to pound his chest and roar; I'mthekingofNewYork!!
