0568: [Bruce is a natural winner]
The Knicks finally won their first home game in front of their hometown parents, which really surprised many fans who didn't watch the game.
After all, the Knicks' advantage is not obvious at all in front of the Lakers, and the lineup is still lacking. On top of that, the Lakers also have a Kobe Bryant, and if Kobe bites Li Zhen to death, Li Zhen will be very sad.
The Lakers did that in the game.
When Li Zhen was like a tiger descending from a mountain in the first half, Derrick Fisher, Sasha Vuljacic and Jordan Farmar were overwhelmed. Phil Jackson used the Black Mamba in the second half to target Lee Jin.
As a superstar in today's league who has both offense and defense and can enter the double team, Black Mamba does bring great deterrence to Li Zhen.
But there's really no way he's going to be able to limit Li Zhen in a five-on-five game, and no one in the league can do that today.
Although Li Zhen's scoring ability is not as good as that of top players, his mid-distance has become a kill, and the scoring in the penalty area is even better, plus some back-to-back singles, which is completely enough on the offensive end.
Moreover, he also has the explosiveness of the league, which allows him to break through to at least the TOP3 level, and you will even have to think for a while to come up with two other names to compare with him.
And the scariest thing is... Passing, Li Zhen's passing talent is the best in the league. In the words of Kenny Smith: You can't find anyone in the NBA who is smarter and better at three-dimensional thinking than him.
So, it became an opportunity for the Knicks to win.
The Knicks took the lead in the first half.
The whole world knows that the Lakers have a wealth disease, and their players are easy to wander and relax whenever they have an advantage, from Bynum to Odom, and then from Luke Walton to Radmanovic...... The whole team gritted their teeth with a black mamba.
In the first half, Li Zhenli made a sudden outside shot, leading Zach, Griffin, Barnes and others to win one after another, leading by 5 points at halftime.
Heading into the second half, the Lakers' spirits were lifted, which may have something to do with Kobe Bryant's furious outbursts in the locker room.
However.
With Kobe Bryant concentrating his defense on Lee Jin, the Knicks' No. 2 spot immediately gained a misalignment advantage. Jemilyn seized the opportunity and sent Jeffries, Richardson and even Scala Bryan in succession.
Whoever is out of position will shoot straight to Fisher.
This determined style of play made Fisher a bitter master once again.
However, he was used to it.
He believes the Lakers will fill the hole soon.
Los Angeles fought back strongly in the fourth quarter.
Kobe Bryant led Gasol to play an extremely strong offensive and once overtook the score.
Whether it's ESPN, TNT, or NBC, the hosts of these stations are pessimistic in that wave of crazy attacks: "The overall strength of the Knicks is too different." ”
Kenny shook his head helplessly, as the most hardcore Li Mi, he could only sigh: If the Knicks had a full lineup, the game might be different.
However, everyone underestimated Li Zhen's ferocity.
At the penultimate minute and 15 seconds of the game, he drilled under Bynum's ribs with an almost baseball player's motion, snatched the basketball from Bynum's hand with a frantic impact, and it could be seen that his body was shaking when he made a steal.
But then, his footsteps were like the sharpest arrows, shooting straight into the field.
Kobe Bryant's pursuit ended with a shot after Lee Jin burst into the box and forced a collision with him.
The referee gave him a foul.
Then, he heard the sound of the basketball rubbing against the net.
Swish!
Basketball hits.
Subsequently, Li Zhen successfully executed the additional punishment.
The difference between the two teams narrowed to one point as the game entered the bottom of the game.
Then, Li Zhen made another amazing move.
When Kobe Bryant landed at the top of the arc with the ball, he intended to consume time to suppress the rhythm.
Li Zhen greeted him.
No one has ever been crazy enough to steal a Black Mamba's ball.
But Li Zhen did so.
Moreover, he directly met his head, and his upper body suppressed Kobe's space.
Bryant had to back a bit, and when Bryant lifted the basketball for a quick turn.
Li Zhen suddenly ran up... Bang!
He didn't even pay attention to the corner of his eye hitting Kobe's elbow, he just struggled to dial Kobe's ball with all his might.
Kobe Bryant's elbow was hit, affecting his movements, but the experienced man was still not disturbed by Li Zhen, he just changed the direction of the basketball and was about to break through inward and pass Li Zhen in one fell swoop...... At that moment, he felt that Li Zhen was still too naïve and impatient.
But in the next second, he realized that he had underestimated Li Zhen.
As another figure sprang out, he seemed to be waiting for himself to expose the basketball to the other end...... Syllable!
Matt Barnes made a clean break.
He slashed the basketball out of Bryant's hands.
At the same time, Li Zhen was already running at high speed from the other side.
Bryant quickly turned around, and he realized that he had been fooled.
He didn't expect Li Zhen to use himself as bait, and the real killer move was Matt Barnes.
He was furious, angry that he was being toyed with in terms of IQ...... He hates Li Zhen, a cunning guy, why did he calculate the conspiracy on me?
However, his pursuit still did not work.
Lee really felt his left eye narrowing as he raced, but that didn't stop him from jumping up in the box and smashing the basketball into the basket with one hand...... Bryant's chase was meaningless.
The Knicks were one point ahead.
"It's overpowered."
After Li Zhen landed, he didn't forget to tease the black mamba: "Didn't you say that no one can steal you?" ”
If other people were to ridicule themselves like this, Kobe Bryant would definitely be furious, and even gritted his teeth and 'killed' back.
But when Bryant saw that Li Zhen's left eye was visibly swollen with a bruise-purple bag.
He subconsciously felt a little distressed, and just muttered: "You look so ugly now." ”
Li Zhen grinned, he didn't care at all.
As long as the team has the upper hand, he doesn't care about his image.
But when the big screen overhead gave a close-up shot of Li Zhen, the entire stadium was filled with screams one after another.
The female stars who had an affair with Li Zhen on the sidelines covered their mouths exaggeratedly, and they were very distressed.
But Li Zhen has long been on the front line of defense.
He didn't continue to play a frantic aggressive defense against Kobe, and now that the Knicks have taken the lead, there's no need to do that kind of thing anymore.
And, for someone like Kobe, it's impossible for him to fall twice in the same pit.
Bryant hit a terrifying turnaround jumper with 13 seconds left in the game.
At that time, Li Zhen and Barnes had already teamed up to flank him, and even cut off his passageway to turn.
However, it was in this cramped space that he did his job with a perfect back, when he was completely unbalanced in the air... The defense of the two made him look like a sandwich biscuit.
But... The basketball still hits with a perfect parabolic hollow shot.
It was Bryant's 32nd score of the night.
Easy and fluffy.
After the goal, he even proudly blew the barrel of a gun made of his fingers.
Don't forget to tell Li Zhen: "Scoring is an art, and you haven't even practiced your skills well." You're far from it."
This is a classic line that Kobe Bryant will say in every training session with Li Zhen, and he hopes to use this sentence to conclude the game.
Backbite!
Jamilin called for one last timeout of the game at this time.
Both coaching teams were engaged in frantic brainstorming on the bench.
The Lakers' assistant coaches believe that they should focus on defending the Knicks' box and sides, and they are worried that the Knicks will use this way to complete the final attack, after all, the difference between the two teams is only one point, and the more conservative the better.
However, Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant firmly believed: "Bruce will not fake others, he is not LeBron James." At critical moments, he has a killer instinct. ”
The two of them know Li Zhen very well.
Jemilin and Stevens also know Li Zhen very well, so they made the first time to let Li Allah attack the last goal, he asked Zach and Eddie Griffin to give Li Zhen double cover, and after receiving the ball, he let Jeffries also improve .......
However, Li Zhen shook his head at this time.
His right eye was very determined: "You know I'm going to make the last shot, and Kobe and Phil Jackson know that. Their defense is bound to be a bit more focused on me, and they're going to switch to a more mobile defensive combination. But let's do the opposite. Zach can mention the location of the free throw line. ”
"You mean, let Zach attack?" Jemilin asked rhetorically.
"Nope."
Li Zhen shook his head.
Now, with the Lakers' assistant coaching staff on the first tier, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson on the second, and Jamilin feels like he's on the second and a half floors. But Li Zhen is on the third layer.
"I'm still attacking, but I'm going to make a deception."
Li Zhen's expression was calm, full of the charm of looking at the mountains and still the mountains.
Backbite!
The final whistle blew.
Jeffrees stood out of bounds to serve, and Li Zhen quickly ran all over the court.
The Lakers' lineup did change, Bynum was thrown to the bench, and Gasol, Odom, and Luke Wharton became the final interior combination.
As Li Zhen kept running out, the Lakers' defensive center of gravity quickly pulled out.
At this time, after Li Zhen went around twice, he suddenly ran out of the middle area, and Eddie Griffin and Zach Randolph quickly closed together and made a classic elevator door to block Kobe and Luke's pursuit for him.
Li Zhen easily catches the basketball.
This made the Black Mamba feel uneasy.
This elevator door tactic made him breathless, and he was very worried that Li Zhen would draw the gourd in the same way.
After receiving the basketball at the top of the three-point line, Li Zhen didn't pause, he quickly struck to the left, and when he broke through a step, Eddie Griffin really went up to cover him.
Bryant was blocked for half a second, and Lee Zhen used the half-second difference to quickly pass Odom's defense, and then he leaned towards Randolph at a decent pace...... At this moment, the Black Mamba was alert to see that Eddie Griffin was also swimming in that direction.
His pace is immediately outward, and once the Knicks execute the elevator door again, he can get to the perimeter to defend first.
At this time, Li Zhen moved two steps and suddenly passed the ball to Randolph, which deepened Kobe's judgment.
At the same time, Li Zhen slid directly over the right side of Randolph's body, he ran to the periphery, Kobe Bryant hurriedly pursued, he took the lead... Complete this action before Griffin closes the door.
Just when he was rejoicing.
Li Zhen suddenly turned, he actually circled Randolph's body, and then rushed to the penalty area at great speed...... He's going to be explosive...... Kobe Bryant was caught off guard.
He hurriedly shouted: Forbidden area!!
However, by this time, the Lakers' restricted area was empty.
While Lee Zhen was in the three-second zone, Randolph passed the basketball in.
Vujasic, who was closest to the basket, hurriedly ran over.
But he's just so lethal.
Li Zhen grabbed the basketball and jumped up directly, the amazing explosiveness and jumping talent were all released, his body pulled a reverse bow in mid-air, although Vujacic tried his best to fly up, but he was half a head shorter He could only be reduced to a foil, he was pressed under him, but it provided Li Zhen with greater upward lifting force.
Li Zhen pressed his shoulder with his left hand and smashed the basketball into the basket with his right hand...... Rumble!
This powerful slam dunk made the hoops roar.
While Li Zhen's whole body hung on the basket, Vujacic was ruthlessly suppressed to the floor and fell to the ground in embarrassment, the red light behind the rebound turned on, and the electronic beep sounded at the end of the game.
Lore!
Slam dunk lore!
Kill the next person!
The gorgeous Lakers died when the shell hit the core of the position.
It's like the heart being dodged with a bone knife.
It's like Takeshi Kitano's gangster movie.
Aesthetics of violence.
After a moment of silence, Madison Garden erupted like a roar of revival from a prehistoric civilization, and everyone's butts left their chairs, even jumping up.
Everyone's hormones are wildly intertwined, and many people who don't know each other even hug each other excitedly.
This ball... It's so relieving!
This counter-kill... What a surprise!
The Knicks defended their home court.
Once again, Madison Garden's Eastern Monarch used his iron-willed will to knock out his opponent.
This time, it was the undefeated West, the Los Angeles Lakers, who fell under the iron hoof.
Yikes!
When Li Zhen came from the corner above the basket, Eddie Griffin and Zach Randolph immediately lifted him up from left to right.
Then, the audience shouted in unison: MVP! MVP! MVP!!
The ribbons in the sky are like rain.
The Lakers players were stunned one by one.
They didn't expect the Knicks to win.
In this game, they have 10,000 reasons to win.
But now, all they could see was a stiff dagger stuck in their chests.
"The Lakers were careless. They have to be nervous. ”
Bill Wharton took to television to try to save some face for the Purple and Gold.
But his partner Reggie Miller can't wait to be there and roar: Bruce is invincible!! Bruce is a natural winner!!
Even more excited than him was Kenny Smith from the TV station next door.
The moment Kenny completed Li Zhen's lore, his whole body went crazy, and he shouted in a broken tone that he had never seen in his life!
He never thought that the lore ball could still play such details, and he could play such ferociousness!
This is simply taking out the overall IQ of the Lakers coaching staff and ruthlessly trampling on it a hundred times!
