0296: [Gorgeous Protagonist]
No young man in his early twenties can tolerate someone who suddenly emerges from someone better than himself.
What's more, this person is still in his heart and is not so good.
Li Zhen definitely has no hostility towards Paul and Delong, and he has not even regarded these two people as imaginary enemies.
However, since Michael Jordan and Nelson Sr. said those words one after another, coupled with the promotion of the New York media and some Los Angeles media, the new generation of point guards from the two small cities will inevitably enter an unhappy state.
They originally felt that they were 'pearls covered with dust', why was he so much better than Li Zhen, but he could go to the bigger city of New York to enjoy the glory and popularity after enjoying the fame and fortune of flowers and beauties in Los Angeles?
I can do everything he can do!
Why can he make a lot of money, gain fame and fortune, and all kinds of people of the opposite sex throw him into his arms and enjoy the highest exposure in the NBA. And I'm struggling in the bitter cold?
Moreover, he actually became an All-Star starter? Where am I worse than him?
Jealousy has always arisen from the comparison of different circumstances.
And when the basketball god and the coach of Qiansheng praised this guy who was "far inferior to himself" as the first point guard of the new generation, their jealousy naturally turned into hostility.
Thus, the smell of gunpowder was created.
Chris Paul and Deron Williams are both ready to give the first-year point guard who made the All-Star Game before himself in the rookie game some color.
At the same time, Li Zhen is doing hard physical training in the locker room, and he hopes that he can sweat more.
The players selected for this year's first-year rookie team are: Bagnani, Rudy Gay, Randy Foye, Gabayosa, Adam Morrison, Millsap, Brandon Roy, Marcus Williams and Bruce Lee.
The sophomore team is Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Andre Bogut, Monta Ellis, Andrew Bynum, Danny Granger, Raymond Felton, David Lee, Luther Head.
Whether it's experience, talent, or popularity, the sophomore team has a huge advantage.
So, in the luxurious commentary team sent by TNT, all the votes went to the sophomore team, and even Kenny Smith, who liked Li Zhen the most, thought that the sophomore team would win for the fifth year in a row. And said: "Actually, this kind of second-grade game against first-year competition is not fair. After all, the sophomore has an extra year of NBA experience, and some of the first-year rookies don't even get an average of 20 minutes per game, and most of these sophomores have even become the core of the team in their own right. ”
"I would suggest a different format from next year. For example, it is possible to form a local American team and a foreign team from the first and second year rookies. Isn't David Stern vigorously developing overseas markets? ”
Kenny makes his suggestion.
However, Charles Barkley, Earl Johnson and guest commentator Jerry West are clearly more focused on another issue.
"Bruce Lee is going to be cleaned up by the sophomores tonight. These arrogant guys won't tolerate a rookie climbing on top of them and being the first to become an All-Star. "Jerry West, as a godfather-level figure, when he puts forward such an idea, it will certainly not be untargeted.
"Yes, the big three point guards on the sophomore team will have a hard time tolerating that. Add to that the Australian centre-forward who even had a physical altercation with Bruce before, and I guess... Bruce will have above-caliber defense. None of these people can watch him show off his skills and show off like he did in an exhibition match. ”
Earl Johnson thinks so, too.
"But that's what looks better, isn't it? I'd like Bruce to do something. As much as I don't like Michael Jordan's pretending to be smart and can do the best at everything, actually... Bruce is really good. Charles Barkley took an encouraging stance.
However, it sounds more like a good blessing.
……
Before Li Zhen walked on the court, Randy Fuye said sourly behind his back: pretend to be a gesture.
He felt that Li Zhen's behavior in the hinterland of the locker room was very stupid, as if he was deliberately declaring that he was the hardest working player and that he deserved what he had now.
As a defeated man, Randy Foye was extremely unconvinced.
However, he can only pantothenic water behind his back.
Li Zhen walked in front, and soon Kobe Bryant took the initiative to come over and hug him. Then Hillary Duff, who came from afar, stood up excitedly behind the bench, and kept kissing Li Zhenfei under the watchful eyes of many media. Such an active and enthusiastic gesture is not like a reserved and noble Disney princess at all, but like a female licking dog who can't ask for it.
This was indisputably the focus of the media and elicited the first thunderous cheers at Thomas Mack Center...... People in Las Vegas love to watch this kind of gossip drama.
When the camera on the big screen above his head is always fixed on Li Zhen, everyone knows who is the protagonist of this game.
Although Randy Foye is reluctant to accept this fact, reality has been ruthlessly revealed to him... The gap between them is getting wider and wider, Lee Jin has taken to the skies to become a shining star, and no one will compare them to the same as at the beginning of the season.
Now Lee's opponents are Chris Paul and Deron Williams, who are standing in front of the second-year bench.
No one will ever care if Randy Foye is convinced of Bruce Lee or not!
Backbite!
The whistle blew soon and the game officially began.
To the cheers of the Las Vegas fans, Andrew Bynum defeated Millsap, a first-year team.
The starting lineup for tonight in the sophomore is Bynum Jr., David Lee, Danny Granger, Deron Williams, Chris Paul. The lineup is relatively neat.
The first-year team lacks a center, so it can put on a lineup like Li Zhen, Brandon Roy, Danny Granger, Bagnani, and Millsap.
Chris Paul quickly arrived up front with the ball, but he didn't encounter the confrontation he imagined, Li Zhen almost let him go two meters and let him go for it. Therefore, his goal seemed to be without difficulty, which was straight from the top of the three-point arc and then made a layup, without even going through any defense.
Facing Li Zhen's smiling face.
Chris Paul is actually very unpleasant, he wants that kind of iron and fire collision, and then he has the upper hand.
It's good now, Li Zhen won't defend when he comes up, if he defends too tightly next, he will look petty.
Therefore, after Li Zhen came over with the ball, he could only forcibly hold the heads-up ** in his heart and let it go.
However, he let it go.
Li Zhen showed off his ball control skills like a butterfly, flashing in front of Paul like a jumping elf, and then quickly cut into the penalty area. Before the audience could understand it, he suddenly jumped up and threw the basketball to the left, just as the camera couldn't help but turn to the left...... Bang! The basketball bounced off the ground and into the box, where Rudy Gay flew into the air to show off his incredible jumping prowess, dunking the basketball into the basket with his back.
This amazing cooperation made the stadium boil again.
"Wow, what a nice assist. Perfect No-look-pass, all scammed. Including viewers in front of the TV. Kenny Smith was full of praise and said, "If it weren't for the TV replay, I wouldn't have known that the basketball had been hit with his left hand when he jumped." This is the trick of a top magician. ”
Barkley also offered his compliment: "If I had to judge who is the most flashy and imaginative point guard in the NBA, I would definitely vote for Bruce Lee." ”
Jerry West, who was sitting next to him, pouted and didn't speak.
The better Li Zhen behaved, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. Because originally... Lee was really traded to Memphis, and the striker who just finished a wonderful match with him was Rudy Guy from Memphis. Such a picture will make those fans who already feel that they have 'lost a lot' even more uncomfortable and complain, which is not conducive to their work. So, he avoided talking about it.
Paul clearly didn't want Li Zhen to be pretty.
Especially when Rudy Gay received a wonderful pass and dunked, the picture of those big-name players on the sidelines covering their faces and screaming together under the leadership of Kobe Bryant made him quite jealous.
So, back to half-time. He hurriedly came to a beautiful crotch dribble, his movements were very sharp, but in terms of aesthetics, he was not as good as Li Zhen.
And when he rushed into the free throw line and stuffed the basketball into the box with a behind-the-back pass...... The air relay he was expecting did not happen.
Bynum didn't even jump, he just caught the basketball, then bobbed it and then dunked.
This stagnation undoubtedly caused the pass to drop in value...... became extremely mediocre.
In fact, the stadium did not appear as loud as before.
Paul was both lost and unhappy.
At this time, he actually heard Bynum's simple voice: "Hey, Chris." Your pass isn't as comfortable as Bruce's, it's a bit hard. ”
Isn't this a pot that doesn't open and mention?
St. Paul glared at Bynum at the time.
The little shark was still a little confused, and thought: I'm telling the truth.
And back in the half, Li Zhen continued to show his imagination.
After deceiving Paul's follow-up defense with a flashy 'shake over God', he quickly entered the penalty area, and at the same time as David Lee stepped forward to help the defense, he suddenly turned around and slammed the basketball into the rebound.
With the basketball bounced violently.
Millsap, who broke free from the defense, jumped up and jumped high...... Rumble!
Another violent buckle that shocked the four seats.
Another second pass that shows imagination!
The shouts in the arena were higher and higher!
Bruce-Lee's name was called repeatedly.
St. Paul's is called a bad one.
But... What can be done?
Now that everyone is not seriously defending, they can't just tear their faces and break the rules.
St. Paul's face!
And so, the game went on like this. Paul can score, he can assist. DeLong also performed well.
But there is no way to make the fans ** like Li Zhen, and the calls are non-stop.
Li Zhen, this guy is too much... I know how to please the fans.
He's always playing new tricks, he's always making unbelievable balls. For example, when dribbling the ball behind his back, he suddenly passed the basketball to the penalty area with his crotch. Or, when you break through, pass the basketball from behind your back to the bottom corner with your elbow. Or maybe they had already killed the basket and put the basketball in the basket, but they just withdrew their hands and threw them to the left, and flew with Rudy Guy, which made the audience's vocal cords not idle for a moment, and they were heartbroken for Li Zhen.
From the very beginning, the game turned into a show for Lee Jin.
Although the two peerless duos of the class of 2005 are excellent, they can only be reduced to supporting roles.
Even Jerry West had to admit: "In a non-defensive situation, Bruce's imagination and flashy style of play are the strongest in the NBA." ”
"But that's about it."
He then emphasized.
But the fans in front of the TV don't care about that, they just have to be cool.
Li Zhen can make them feel so cool that their brains and scalps are numb, and that's enough.
