0222: [New York's problem players are really tempting]
Andrew Bynum was blinded by jealousy.
Li Zhen's brilliance in New Jersey made him unbearable, and he still thought that Li Zhen had taken advantage of him.
If Li Zhen faced the Nets in the second half, he would definitely be cleaned up very badly. How could Jason Kidd, who was fully offensive and defensive, be able to stop him?
In Los Angeles, he took advantage of the second half. In New Jersey, he took advantage of the first half.
Bynum thought about it, if he simply suspended for one game, Li Zhen's bubble would inevitably burst. When the time comes, the fans who cheer for him and think he is 'terrible' will surely wake up and know who the real potential rookie is.
I have to say that eighteen-year-old Andrew Bynum's brain circuitry is too strange. He was like a spoiled giant baby, and he even thought that this way could hurt Li Zhen.
When Phil Jackson received his request for leave, Furui Wubo's face directly appeared with an expression of 'I really haven't seen this scene': "So, you had a cold last night, and then you won't play in the next game?" ”
"Yes." Bynum was unusually determined. And also deliberately coughed a few times.
All right.
The Zen master nodded and agreed, just in time to test the run-in between Bruce Lee and the main lineup.
When Bynum left the Zen master's room, he was very relaxed and happy.
Although the New York team has become the laughing stock of everyone in the league now, he believes that with Lee's true level, he will definitely not be able to play well in the whole game. In the first two games, he just took advantage of himself, if he hadn't withstood the hardest time for him, he would have been able to steal so many shots?
What's more... He's gotten word from his good friend Quentin Richardson. The Knicks are all waiting to give Li Zhen a little color, especially Stephen Marbury.
In fact, the entire New York media is now talking about it.
Although Isaiah Thomas, who was involved in the sexual assault of black aunts, and Marbury, who became a cancer on the team, have become the target of everyone in New York City, and these two notorious guys still dislike each other, all kinds of internal contradictions are endless.
Now, something even more ridiculous has happened.
Isaiah Thomas, that guy even thinks Bruce Lee is the future No. 1 point guard in the league.
And Stephen Marbury is a blatant contradiction, claiming that Bruce Lee will never touch the edge of a top point guard. He will teach Bruce Lee a profound lesson during the game.
Then, Isaiah Thomas added: "There are players who are very physical and have a lot of scoring ability. But they will never have the instinctive talent of a point guard like Bruce Lee. ”
Marbury was quick to reciprocate: "The so-called instinctive talent is. If someone doesn't cherish a guard who averages 20+8 per game in his career, but brags unreasonably about a rookie who has played less than 18 minutes. It's simply the most ridiculous news in the history of basketball. ”
The two went back and forth, talking in the media.
According to people familiar with the matter, Marbury's relationship with Thomas broke down back last season. This is in stark contrast to the mutual praise between the two in 2003, and there is no doubt that it ...... Both of these are now negative assets for the Knicks.
Li Zhen obviously didn't think that he would become the focus of the Knicks' internal contradictions.
When he saw from the media that 'according to an unnamed player from the Knicks, Marbury is very likely to impose brutal sanctions on Lee Jin in the game', Bruce thought that he had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
He had never been sarcastic about Marbury. Even when he was still in high school in New York, he had great respect for the NBA superstar produced in New York, believing that he was the pride of New York basketball.
But now... Before they met on the court, they had already made a needle-to-wheat posture.
He wasn't afraid of Marbury.
Rather, I feel... This has nothing to do with me, why do you keep making headlines for me. Although it helped me to open up my awareness, it was a great help for the next Christmas sneaker sale.
However, go back to the roots.
Isaiah Thomas and Marbury have a long history of conflict, and they can quarrel over anything. For example, if Isaiah Thomas said that salty tofu brains are delicious, Marbury will definitely retort: the salty party is dead, and sweet tofu brains are king.
"Don't worry, Bruce. That Marbury guy isn't even New York's top scorer right now, and he can't help you at all. ”
Kwame Brown made a point of reassuring Lee Jin before the start of the match, hoping that he would take it easy.
When Andrew Bynum announced that he would not play in this game, Kwame Brown immediately took the starting line-up.
Moreover, Phil Jackson made a special emphasis today to focus on grinding the chemistry between Bruce Lee and the starting lineup tonight.
Lee Zhende appeared alongside Luke Wharton and Lamar Odom, two playmaking forwards.
Before this, Li Zhen rarely appeared with them. Because their roles overlap, the two were known for feeding Kobe Bryant on the weak side and at the free-throw line last season. But now, Lee Jin has most of the ball outside of Kobe Bryant, so they are always at a loss when Lee Jin comes on the court.
Coupled with the amazing energy that Eddie Griffin burst out after joining the Lakers, and the three-point combination of European mercenary Radmanovic and Li Zhen's magic hand is a perfect match.
As a result, both Luke Walton and Lamar Odom's stats have dropped from last season.
Although they did not target Li Zhen like Smash Parker and Andrew Bynum. But their rejection of Lee is visible to the naked eye.
In a sense, for Li Zhen, this is a challenge both internally and externally.
He had to reconcile his internal contradictions and show himself in dealing with Marbury in order to deliver a perfect answer.
Anyway, Andrew Bynum is not optimistic about Li Zhen at all.
He didn't think that Li Zhen would be able to fight his way out of such a difficult situation and play as well as in the first two games.
……
Despite the fact that the New York Knicks are a bad team, CBS is streaming the game all over the United States, after all, it is a contest between the largest city on the East Coast and the largest city on the West Coast.
New York Knicks legend Fraser was sitting in the commentary box, and fans greeted him warmly as he came over. His No. 10 jersey hung high over Madison Garden, and he brought New York the only championship trophy to his name. People miss the Knicks of that era very much, not the current team of fish belly jokes who pay the luxury tax every year and can't make the playoffs every year.
So, that's why when Bruce Lee walked into the arena.
Madison Garden was cheered.
New York fans turn their dislike for the Knicks into support for the visiting players, just like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant... When these superstars come here, they all chant MVP in unison.
It's a humiliation for the home team.
Li Zhen also greeted the audience warmly.
His eyesight was very good, and he saw some acquaintances, including neighbors in his own community, high school classmates, teachers...
New York is his hometown, where he grew up. So, naturally, there is a group of partners who are proud of him.
Only hardcore Knicks fan Spike Lee sat there with his hands folded and looked up and down at Li Zhen. Although these days, he has been seeing Li Zhen's name on the news and learning that this kid is actually a New Yorker.
But he still didn't apostate like the rest of the fans, and cheered.
He also wondered, like other fans: Are we going to invite this New York basketball representative back to Madison Garden?
But soon... Or return to calm.
After all, when Marbury returned to New York, it was greeted by thousands of people, and all the media headlines were celebrating the return of the wanderer.
Now, however, he is a disgrace to the entire city.
Marbury was unsurprisingly booed when he came out.
Clearly, he is already an undesirable figure here.
But he still swore to tell Li Zhen: "I will destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you." ”
This sentence is very domineering.
But Li Zhen saw a clear answer from his dark circles: impossible.
And, even if there is no sound cue in his head, he plans to take a plate of the former No. 1 point guard in the storm maelstrom.
In fact, he won't let every New York player go.
Everybody knows... New York is the place with the most fallen players in the league. It's not for nothing that they're saddled with the league's highest luxury tax and worst record.
To be honest, he had thought about being chosen by New York.
On the one hand, it's because it's where he grew up, and he wants to contribute to the team he's been supporting since he was a kid. On the other hand, there are too many players with these problems, and they do sound a little tempting: their talents are wasted on alcohol and beauty, and they are not used to the fullest, which is really outrageous.
