The Bucks are a good opponent.

At least for today's Li Zhen and today's Knicks, it is a good opponent.

Their just the right amount of strength and terrible outside defense gave Li Zhen, who joined the team at the beginning, more opportunities to make mistakes.

Although Mo Williams had previously vowed to drive Li Zhen into the penalty area, in fact he couldn't do this at all, and his three-legged cat defensive posture was a waste in Li Zhen's eyes.

He can only rely on his stronger body and shooting touch on the offensive end to do some work.

But these... Other than making his stats a little better, it didn't make a real difference to the game, as his shooting percentage didn't outweigh the Bucks' overall offensive efficiency.

On the contrary, it was Li Zhen's side that made the Knicks' offensive increase sharply.

He and Marbury played at least three exquisite combinations in the first quarter, and two direct assists for Marbury to score. Once after giving the ball to Marbury, Marbury broke through the restricted area and then distributed the ball to David Lee, who made a layup.

In addition, Lee Zhen has a good interaction with Eddie Curry, David Lee, and even Quentin Richardson.

So, the first verse down.

The Knicks actually led by 13 points at 38:25.

It's like a strong team.

This greatly exceeded the expectations of the Madison Garden Arena, so when Li Zhen came off the break, he even heard the cheers of the audience.

And Bogut's punch when he came off the ring was more of a symbol of impotent rage.

His performance tonight has been a watershed moment since he was blocked by Eddie Curry. The first is that the Bucks' attack pattern has shifted from the interior to the outside. The Knicks, on the other hand, stepped up their efforts to attack the basket under the leadership of Lee Zhen. However, what makes Bogut unhappy is that although Li Zhen rushes into the restricted area every time, he is cunning and never confronts him head-on, every time he tastes the same, as soon as he comes up, he quickly transfers the ball, let David Lee or Eddie Curry attack, or give the ball to Marbury and let him rush the basket twice.

It made Bogut scratch his heart with a hundred claws, and there was nowhere to use his strength.

In short, he completely the Australians.

This is also the reason why when the two go down at the same time, Bogut will swing his fist at Li Zhen to provoke.

However, Li Zhen was completely unimpressed.

The arrogant and contemptuous sweep Bogut in his eyes, completely ignoring him, as if to say: If you have the ability, you can do it, pretending to be a ball?

This gesture is undoubtedly a steel knife repeatedly tugging at Bogut's heart, stimulating the Australian even more bipolar.

But one way or another, Isaiah Thomas was pleased.

He deliberately hugged Li Zhen hard next to the bench, this old man who was fighting a lawsuit with a black aunt was not at all insensitive. He couldn't wait to raise Li Zhen's hand and tell the world: This is the big baby I brought to New York to turn things around!!

James Dolan also looked very excited in the VIP box on the high platform.

He's spent too much money over the years, look at the fat guys in the home team's locker room, which one doesn't take millions or even millions of dollars from him every month?

But tonight, he finally heard a little noise. The money spent seems to be getting an echo.

Bruce Lee turned out to be the one who flapped the wings of a butterfly, and he actually pulled the trigger of the Nyx's rotten and old machine gun.

Sudden Sudden Rush!

He scored 38 points in the first quarter.

"We're going to revive."

James Dolan was thrilled.

……

If the first quarter of the game proved that Lee Zhen brought hope for the Knicks' revival.

Then in the second quarter, when Li Zhen sat back on the bench. Madison Gardens was immediately plunged into a freezing ice cave again.

Isaiah Thomas is counting on Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford, Balkman, Channing Frye and newcomer Swift to continue the main lineup's attack.

But this group has managed to make Knicks fans realize the importance of being a good point guard.

Neither Nate Robinson nor Crawford are defenders who can handle the ball.

The ball is in their hands, and it's okay if it doesn't speed up. As soon as you speed up, it's a mess.

They also don't have any concept of overall attack at all, it's just shooting birds indiscriminately.

It's just that tonight's crosshairs aren't very good.

From Nate Robinson, to Crawford, and then to Channing Fry, the three runners on whom the Smiling Assassin had high hopes were completely scrapped.

Swift even proved why he has the status of a top player and amazing physical talent, but he still can't mix up the essence of the NBA.

He brought nothing but disaster and jokes to the team.

Bucks center Skinner is a solid and featureless center, but he still got 2 blocks from him, for no other reason... Swift is purely looking for a hat.

He's like a desperate swimmer who looks for a chance to get a cap when he doesn't have a chance.

Li Zhen's eyelids twitched as he watched from the sidelines.

Swift is upright in life, but he is so upright on the court? Doesn't your brain turn at all?

His style of play, in the words of Uncle Motoyama, is that even if he sees a pig crashing into a tree, he will follow it and hit the pig with his brain.

And the Knicks' overall mess allowed the Bucks to seize the opportunity, and their bench lineup finally recovered the score with six minutes left in the second quarter.

At the same time, Thomas hurriedly replaced Eddie Curry, Stephen Marbury, David Lee and others, who played well in the first quarter, and by the way, Crawford, the highest scorer this season, was also placed on the court.

But Li Zhen remained on the bench.

Because Isaiah Thomas knew that Lee Zhen was not very physical, he continued Phil Jackson's schedule of using Lee Zhen.

Sadly, this arrangement didn't make the game any better.

The lack of Li Zhen's main lineup seems to have lost some kind of spirit, and they look confused.

Eddie Curry has become less aggressive in the box, Stephen Marbury has become more sticky, Crawford has reverted to his single-minded stance, and David Lee has been a good young man in his backcourt rebounding...... It's all back to the old ways.

With the Bucks' lead getting bigger and bigger.

Li Zhen's role is more clearly and thoroughly highlighted.

As Madison Garden entered the end of the second quarter, Isaiah Thomas could clearly hear the whispers of fans behind him discussing why not to let Lee Zhen play.

Even from the distant stands, there would be a cry from time to time: We need Bruce.

But he ignored it, and there was even a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Look, it's only the first game, and you can't wait to need him.

How can I be wrong in my way of looking at people?

Wait, wait, endure, feel uncomfortable.

Who let you insult me so much before?

The more Isaiah Thomas thought about it, the more calm he became, and the smile on his lips was not at all restrained by the unusual situation on the court.

That's what he wants.

You need me so much.

Bruce Lee is needed so much!

Scream like a licking dog, and make your cries a little more restless.
