0597:【Houston in the Sky】

Li Zhen is a person who doesn't like to talk eloquently in front of the media.

It's not that he wants to run a low-key and mysterious character, but he has too many secrets in his heart, and he doesn't want to be 'exposed'.

Especially... When he finished talking on the phone with Elizabeth Olsen, who was studying acting in Russia, he exchanged heartfelt words with Ashley Olsen.

So, the task of receiving domestic reporters was handed over to Yi Jianlian.

Since the start of the UAE League, he has averaged 6.5 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block per game in two games.

The stats are really much worse than in Milwaukee, and the playing time has also dropped significantly, and it turns out that in the Bucks, the average playing time is about 30 minutes per game. But now... He only played 15 minutes, and he had to play with Zach Randolph, Eddie Griffin... Share playing time.

Therefore, some domestic media, especially the media in eastern Guangdong, are particularly uneven, thinking that Li Zhen did not sincerely promote Yi Jianlian.

However, the UAE has no complaints, and he has even recently been talking to his American agent about terminating the contract.

Fagan is an ambitious agent who hopes he can replicate the magic of Yao's agent, who has been working to make the UAE an All-Star in the NBA. Frankly speaking, a series of his actions have had a negative effect on Yi Jianlian: for example, he did not let the United Arab League participate in any team's tryouts before the draft, was selected by Milwaukee and did not cooperate many times, and had to go to Milwaukee after failing to imitate Boss Ferdin.

And sign a contract with a mandatory ... Forcing the Bucks to give such as how many starts and how much playing time they have.

With such a high standard, after Yi Jianlian failed to meet Milwaukee's expectations, it was natural to part ways: after all, a small club like the Bucks wanted the commercial value and performance of the United Arab Emirates.

But in both respects, the UAE is not satisfactory.

The UAE does not have Li Zhen's own hot search physique, nor does it have Yao Shu's humorous conversation and super high emotional intelligence. Therefore, he is actually a person with very weak star attributes, and he is not really taken care of on the court, how can he come out in such a chaotic team?

Therefore, the Bucks naturally can't wait to send him away after the season.

Now, the UAE is in New York.

His agent remains strong, and he is unhappy that the Knicks have put the United Arab League off the bench and let him learn blue-collar skills.

However, the UAE knows better than anyone ... How hard it is to develop your offensive means to an All-Star level. Moreover, through this period of meticulous study, he found that many of the offensive habits he had developed in China were very probable, and while he was still young, now was the time to silently improve himself.

So, he had serious disagreements with his agent.

I've been breaking up recently.

He felt that he should stay where he was, and he rejected the broker's offer to trade.

Because, he really felt happy and fulfilled like never before.

Although Li Zhen always treats every technical detail of him with an iron face and selflessness, and even criticizes him mercilessly on the training ground, he is much harsher than other newcomers.

But in fact, when he was in New York, Li Zhen would drive him home every day. Moreover, on the plane, he was often called to the big seat in the back and gave him a post-match review in Chinese.

With the assistance of a player like Li Zhen, the UAE feels that his overall view of the court has suddenly opened up. A lot of things that were originally obscure had an epiphany in an instant.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zach Randolph, Stephen Marbury, Eddie Griffin are really nice, although they like to play pranks and keep saying that they want to take him on a foreign meat ride on a dark horse.

… It's really warm.

The UAE felt that sooner or later he would be pulled into the water.

……

"I'm happy."

In the past, the UAE was a person who was not very expressive, and he seemed a little hesitant in the face of inquiries from domestic reporters...... It's like you've been kidnapped.

But when he was interviewed by a group of domestic reporters in Houston, a big smile appeared on his face.

He even took the initiative to talk about the joke that has been widely circulated in the NBA lately: that is, the lace news that Zach Randolph pushed him into the room of a female model, and he ran away.

"I did run. When you see two female models inside, can you not run? The UAE said very seriously: "They are just playing a prank, we are not trying to match anything at all." ”

Look at the serious appearance of the United Arab Emirates.

Some of the male reporters were stunned.

Two?

Two of you still running?

It's not going to take off.

However, the UAE is so upright.

It's no wonder that he also has no experience of being pinched on the pitch. As a striker, his ability to hold the ball is too inferior, and he should learn from Li Zhen.

"Li Zhen was very good to me, he helped me improve a lot. I don't have any minutes of playing time and stats right now, and I'm working on correcting my bad habits, as well as improving my control over the NBA rhythm and mastery of tactics. ”

The UAE has taken the concerns of domestic journalists in a relaxed manner.

He suddenly found that dealing with reporters became an easy task...... Because Zach Randolph is so difficult to deal with, this guy is a problem maker, and he can always think of the odd thing: when it comes to playing tricks on rookie players, the UAE is simply breathtaking. He actually put the Spaniards on a lung capacity basis with the Italians and the Slovenians...... Let's see who will blow up the family planning tools first.

Moreover, he also asked the Chinese of the UAE to go to enforce the law, because he only believes that Asians can enforce the law fairly.

At this time, the UAE Association is glad that he is a second-year student.

Of course, Marc Gasol occasionally complains that he was actually a first-round pick in 2007. But Zach doesn't care about that: based on the number of years he's been in the league.

There are always some reporters who will ask the two cores of the UAE national team, Yao Shu and Li Zhen, who do you think is stronger?

It's like your wife asking you who would save first if she and your mom fell into the water at the same time.

If it was the previous UAE, he would definitely be at a loss, and then analyzed the technical styles of the two bigwigs at a glance, and finally came to the conclusion that both of them are good big brothers.

But the current UAE is no longer the UAE of the past.

After the baptism of old fritters such as Zach Randolph, Barnes, and Griffin, he has long learned to ask rhetorically: "If Li Zhen and Yao Shu fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?" You only have one chance, and you can only save one person. As a basketball journalist, you definitely have a deeper understanding. ”

Forehead! Yes! Well!

The reporter was stunned on the spot.

Don't play according to the routine.

……

……

Li Zhen didn't have a good impression of Houston, so when the famous boss of Grande came to him under pressure, he showed rare indifference.

He was indifferent to Alexander's self-introduction.

Alexander told Li Zhen that he was a graduate of New York University, that he had a estate on Long Island, and that if Li Zhen liked to drink wine, he could send two sticks of home-made wine to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen obviously didn't look down on this shabby gift.

There is no wave about his subsequent depiction of Li Zhen and Yao Shu forming an invincible division, because he also mentioned that Li Zhen can form the strongest trio in history with Tracy Maddie and Yao Shu.

Li Zhen felt that it was not necessary.

So, the meeting ended in a very calm atmosphere.

It's not even as good as Aaron Brooks, who then ran over to express his admiration for Li Zhen, the skinny little guard adored Li Zhen more and more.

He thinks that Li Zhen has taken a path that he dare not imagine: because when Li Zhen first entered the league, he was very bad at physical confrontation, and he was just as fast.

So, he consulted Li Zhen about some weight gain techniques.

Li Zhen can only perfunctory him by eating more and practicing more.

……

Ron Artest is a funny guy who is full of contradictions.

Although he was claiming that New York hurt his feelings the other day, the best reward he could give back to the people of his hometown was beating Lee Jin on the court.

However, when he met Li Zhen in the stadium, the first thing he did was to quickly run over to greet Li Zhen: "Man, you just don't know how much I want to play with you." I've heard your story from Jamal and I can't worship you anymore. ”

"I know your concerns, I'm never going to be a problem in the dressing room. I also have a musical dream, and children who love music don't go bad, do they. ”

"I'm not going to ask for a big contract, I can accept the middle class."

"I can take out the opponent who offended you for you, and I'm definitely going to do it more professionally than Jordan's Oakley. I come from a gangster family, and my grandmother was eighty years old and could go and rob banks. ”

"I can also help you with the wing defense, Cameron, Pierce, James, these heavy small forwards have to worry about my presence!!"

“……”

Ron Artest gushed.

Li Zhen was moved by what he said.

If he had found Li Zhen more than a month ago, Li Zhen might have really been moved.

But now... Forehead.

"You're still wearing the RED jersey." Li Zhen reminded him a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. My contract ends this season and I'll be completely free next season. "Atai's eyes are fanatical.

Fanatical to the point that Li Zhen was worried that this guy would have a nervous breakdown because of being ruthlessly rejected.

Therefore, he had to comfort him: You behave well, if you perform very well by Yao Shu's side, we can consider admitting you without examination next summer.

Atai was suddenly elated.

Then, Yao Shu inexplicably had an eager follower.

Da Yao felt very strange, and Atai, who was still very indifferent to him before, suddenly became enthusiastic. Moreover, when Adelman laid out his tactics, Atai even refuted Tracy's request for more shots.

"You've gotten enough. You know, Yao has a higher hit rate than you. Moreover, he also has the ability to respond to high positions. ”

Well???

The expression of the world's first calf is quite wonderful.

……

Houston prepared a positive and grand program before the competition, and the dragon and lion dances and acrobatics were all drummed, putting aside the competition, it was definitely a top temple fair in China... The only thing missing was a bit of shouting.

To show respect for this derby battle.

From the beginning, the Knicks arranged for Li Zhen and UAE to play at the same time, with Marc Gasol, Francisco and Matt Barnes.

Marc Gasol and Yao Shu are both center forwards who have transitioned from FIBA.

Therefore, after the match, it can be regarded as a light car.

But for Yao, NBA rules are actually a constraint. The three-second zone is unfair to his behemoth, especially since Adelman sticks to his immutable Princeton offensive system and pulls Yao up as high as possible.

Therefore, the Rockets' forbidden area really didn't please them.

In addition, since their starting power forward is Karllandry, he is very mobile but naturally lacks height.

The UAE found the leveling target on the spot.

There's nothing like Landry right now.

He is taller than Landry.

Athleticism is no worse than Landry, who has a history of knee injuries.

Landry's defensive ability is barely enough to eat, but Yi Jianlian has Li Zhen's blessing.

Therefore, as soon as the opening was played, the UAE found its touch in the high position. A slightly flustered shot still drew a perfect arc and fell into the nets with ease.

Then he became more and more confident, and even played a one-handed dunk after a breakthrough at the instigation of Zach Randolph: Landry was easily shaken up by him in the high post, and then he smashed Huanglong, and after two steps, he rushed into the three-second zone, jumped high, and when Marc Gasol leaned on Yao Shu, his one-handed dunk was logical.

Although the UAE, who is accustomed to two-handed dunks, was a little stiff this one-handed dunk, it still won Randolph's support on the sidelines: That's it, man. Believe me, no one will treat their penis with their hands. It's cooler with one hand!!

Randolph could always say the words of the Arab Emirates, whose face was red and his ears were pounding, but at the same time his heart was pounding.

He is a poet who has been buried.

If the outbreak of the United Arab Emirates is a surprise.

Then it is logical for Li Zhen to beat Alstom.

Although Alston has a reputation as a street ball king, he is no different from playing soy sauce in the NBA. If not for the Rockets, he'd be a rotation point guard at best.

This is probably why Alexander is willing to use two bottles of red wine to win over Li Zhen.

Alston was controlled from the first second of the opening stanza, and he watched as Li Zhen passed by again and again.

Even if Sean Battier switched defenses, it didn't have much effect.

Li Zhen still easily led the offensive of the whole field.

With the veteran players as the team's lineup, the offensive and defensive integration that Houston was still boasting about before the game is simply no material love.

The bigger bubble is, of course, Tracy Maddy's claim that she is fully recovered, even better than the scoring title.

Tracy failed to return to the top of his dream in the first dry pull.

was even interfered with directly by the mad dog Francisco with his fingernails, and the basketball arc suddenly rose, and then fell into Li Zhen's hands.

Li Zhen didn't even expect that Tracy Maddie's physical fitness would decline so quickly.

But the next second he went on a swift offense, followed by a gliding slam slam dunk to give Houston a memorable opening 15-4.

It may not have been what Houston wanted, but it was definitely self-inflicted.
