0234: [Drink at the head, start with a violent deduction]
The AT&T arena was brightly lit and filled with excited Spurs fans, with the famous Eva also dressed up to attend.
Obviously, tonight was a different mood for San Antonio.
They resemble a group of spectators sitting on the viewing platform waiting for the hunters to hunt.
Since Coach Popovich spoke two days ago, everyone knows what to expect tonight. He is a person who easily does not make deliberate propaganda in public opinion. But now that he's made it clear that he's going to pull up Tony Parker, tonight is sure to be a standard Spurs-style victory.
"It's not fair."
Before the game began, Kenny Smith sat in the live broadcast room and said to the national audience: "Everyone is a thorn in the side of Bruce Lee because he is the only rookie in the NBA who has received superstar benefits." His influence is huge, and his commercial value is amazing, even though he has already earned money and influence that A-list stars dare not even imagine when he first entered the league. Therefore, many people attacked him, hoping to gain fame above his head and steal his influence. β
"But, I don't understand. Why did Popovich shoot him too. β
Kenny Smith spread his palms, and he said seriously: "Isn't Li Zhen, who averages 8.6 points, 9.6 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game, excellent?" You have to know that Stephen Nash even averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 assists per game in his rookie season. Jason Kidd also had just 11.7 points, 7.7 assists and 5.7 rebounds in his rookie season. Why not give him a little more time? β
"I'll admit that Tony Parker is better than Bruce right now, and he really deserves more attention. But why point the gun on the innocent Bruce Lee? To be honest, his rookie season was much better than Tony Parker, who averaged only 9.2 points and 4.5 assists per game in 2001. β
Kenny Smith was puzzled.
He thinks San Antonio is doing something bullying. To put it more colloquially, he thinks San Antonio is eating Li Zhen's human blood steamed buns. They did so in an attempt to boost the momentum of Tony Parker, who has really made great strides this season and has a faint tendency to become the Spurs' number one player. Now, he's in need of a nice turnaround. Targeting Li Zhen is undoubtedly the best deal: because he has a lot of momentum, weak strength, and little game experience.
"Bruce's All-Star vote hurt him if he didn't get that many votes. Maybe he won't be treated like this. Barkley finally stood on Li Zhen's side and said a word.
His real upset with Lee stems from his dislike of players who are physically weak. But in this matter, deep down he also thinks that the Spurs have gone too far. Bruce didn't provoke them at all, but they came to the door on their own initiative.
Perhaps this was God's test for Bruce. You must know that Michael Jordan was also targeted for no reason. It was the Detroit Pistons who were in trouble at the beginning. β
Barkley suddenly said, "Tonight will pass, at least he is still young." Michael Jordan also spent many years trying to bring down the Bad Boy Army. β
It was as if he was making excuses for Li Zhen's doom.
After all, losing to Spurs isn't a difficult thing to do. It's one of the best teams in the league.
β¦β¦
Backbite!
The whistle soon blew in the AT&T arena and the game officially began.
The starting lineup that the Lakers fielded tonight is: Bruce Lee, Vujasic, Lamar Odom, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown.
This is a tactic that Phil Jackson prepared specifically for Li Zhen. After talking with Li Zhen, this meritorious instructor gave Li Zhen 100 percent trust. He arranged all the tactics for Li Zhen and the teammates he needed. That's why he was able to make a dynasty in Chicago and the Lakers, and while this guy always has a lot of balance within the team, he absolutely trusts his players and will do everything he can to get his players in his interests.
Instead of squeezing the salaries of the top stars with titles such as team and family in order to form a super squad like some coaches.
The starting lineup for the Spurs is: Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen, Michael Finley, Tim Duncan, Oberto.
This is the starting lineup that the Spurs have been using this season. Whether it's experience or talent or chemistry, it's top-notch.
When the referee threw the basketball into the air, the battle began.
Kwame Brown bounced up with all his strength, and his combat power reached its peak.
He treats Bruce as a boon to his career, and they get along like brothers. Now the San Antonio people want to take his brother under the knife, and no matter how tough they are, he won't back down.
There is nothing to fear from parallel imports, only shackles are lost.
Syllable!
He easily defeated Oberto and slapped the basketball into Li Zhen's hands.
When Li Zhen went to the front court with the ball, there were rude boos and taunts on the scene again. Everyone's face was written: "Yankee, I'm waiting to see your jokes."
Eva Longoria was dressed like she was on the catwalk, and she even stood up and shouted: Tony! FightingοΌ
She spares no effort to show the sweet love between them.
And the reporters kept giving her spotlights and lenses.
These second-rate TV actresses always cherish the opportunity to appear in an NBA game that is broadcast live across the United States.
Frankly speaking, even Eva herself couldn't figure out whether she was revealing her true feelings or deliberately acting.
But either way, when her name is implicated with Bruce Lee, Hillary Duff, Sister Olson, Paris Hilton, and others, she's already won. The second and third-tier female stars in the entertainment industry are not exposed, and there is no topic, which is the most bleak thing.
At the same time, Li Zhen has launched an offensive at the top of the three-point arc.
The French sports car's defense is mediocre, and he relies more on the Spurs' overall defensive system.
But when Eva's voice kept getting into his ears. He still couldn't help but make some 'heroic' acts. He was very aggressive and tried to press, and he wanted to give Li Zhen a little bit of a dismissal in the opening game.
Although he praised Bruce after playing him in the preseason, he also knew what Lee's shortcomings were.
He thinks that Li Zhen can't escape his Five Finger Mountain, as Popovich said, he surpasses him in any of his physical qualities, so why should he win himself?
Bang!
Li Zhen gave the answer under his crotch.
When he stepped forward to scramble, Li Zhen's basketball hit his legs like a cannonball with precision, and the steep cold wind quickly pierced through with a bang, which made him subconsciously shrink inward, trying to protect his little brother.
But at the same time, Li Zhen had already galloped away from him like lightning.
The beautiful and tricky ball split left the fans waiting to see the joke frozen, and Eva didn't know what to do next.
Lee Zhen grabbed the basketball inside the three-point line, and he continued to attack the inside like a bamboo.
Michael Finley tried to delay him at the free-throw line, but the former All-Star had limited legs after all, and his pace was dangled after Lee Zhen's quick back turn dribble, and by the time he turned around, Lee Zhen was already in the box.
Oberto tried to make up for it halfway through, but a pass to the left caused him to step back and make way for a passage.
Li Zhen jumped up without any scruples, grabbed the basketball in the air with his wide left hand, and after a beautiful glide, he dunked hard to the basket...... Rumble!
A sharp warning!
Bruce Lee scored the first goal of the game with a one-handed smash.
The Lakers bench on the sidelines was boiling, and the elder Winter and Bryan Shaw stood up with a group of uniform team members to cheer, and even Phil Jackson clenched his fists and waved hard.
When the footage was transmitted to California via TNT's television feed, a crowd of fans was inspired.
"That's right, that's how you hit it head-on!!"
Kobe Bryant was excited in front of the TV.
He was even more excited than scoring himself.
Kenny Smith on TV was also touting Bruce Lee: "That's why I'm rooting for him, he's definitely a ruthless character." San Antonio, there's a good chance you've hit the hard rock. β
At the same time, Li Zhen on the court also looked at Popovich on the sidelines after high-fives with Eddie Griffin, and his cold eyes were particularly resolute, as if to say: Tonight, either you step on me or I step on you on the top. There is no other answer.
The feeling of being stared at by Li Zhen annoyed Popovich very much. He didn't like this kind of provocation, and he quickly gave the order, and he asked Bowen to face Li Zhen in the next round. As a top coach, he knows the meaning of completely killing the provocateur at the beginning of the game.
Moreover, Li Zhen's eyes really made him uneasy.
The lethality of this look is far greater than Li Zhen's dunk to complete the first goal of the game in full view.
