0051: [Cunning as Fox Bruce]
The Kansas coaching staff, although a little unclear about what happened on the Stanford bench, was not overly nervous.
After all, Coach Bill Celf never imagined that Stanford would make such a stupid mistake, and it wasn't until the game started and TJ Wharton launched suicide attacks again and again that he didn't know that it was... Is Coach McHaney really that stupid?
Just give us the victory?
He couldn't figure it out.
Backbite!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
For Stanford, replacing TJ Wharton means getting on the right track.
After serving at halftime, the basketball passed to Li Zhen. Mario Chammos, the stealing king of the 12th Division, immediately pressed and tried to use his body directly to imprison Li Zhen on the sideline: he couldn't wait to show his energy to the big names from the NBA around the court.
But the moment he stepped forward and opened his arms.
Bang!
Li Zhen suddenly struck the basketball down quickly, and the basketball instantly slammed into the floor between Chammos's legs, and quickly popped out of the encirclement.
At this time, Li Zhen had also galloped away from his side quickly.
Pretty man and ball divided.
This caused the crowd in the arena to burst into cheers and screams.
But in good conscience, neither Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, nor Buford or Presti in the stands were impressed by this fancy dribbling move.
What they want to see is the basic skills of basketball, as well as an understanding of the difference in technique and tactics, or the potential for talent.
As for fancy dribbling, there can be, it can be embellished, but not fundamentally.
But soon, Li Zhen did something that surprised them softly.
When Lee Zhen passed Cummoss with a beautiful ball, he stepped into the three-point line in an instant: because intelligence from the University of Kansas showed that Bruce Lee did not have consistent projection, the passing threat was significantly greater than the offensive threat. So... There was no one to defend.
At this time, Li Zhen stopped the jump shot, although the bounce height was not high, his posture was very perfect, and the shooting action was done in one go, and there was a feeling of freehand.
With such a standard and spiritual posture, you can tell at a glance that you have worked shooting.
Swish!
When the basketball hit the basket, Buford and Presti in the stands held out their hands and applauded at the same time.
Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines glanced sideways at Michael Jordan, the nemesis next door.
The basketball god frowned: he saw a shadow of himself when he was 18 years old in this shooting.
Is it so similar? No wonder I feel so gracious.
Michael Jordan was fluctuating, and his mind began to think... If he is announced to be in the NBA Draft at the end of this season, should I draft him with a second-round pick?
While the basketball god was thinking about the draft, Charles Barkley in the live broadcast room was muttering: "This guy looks like Michael Jordan's protégé, and his shooting moves are like the earliest Jordan." But Jordan's physical fitness back then was invincible, and he was still too far behind. Technology alone without a body is still not enough. Maybe it's okay in the NCAA, but it's definitely not okay in the NBA. ”
Barkley's statement is actually the same as that of Buford, Isaiah Thomas and others: they are both surprised by Lee's fundamentals, but also worried that his physical fitness will not allow his skills to survive in the high-intensity confrontation of the NBA.
They are different from Jordan, Jordan's reputation in the draft is rotten anyway, he dares to bet, and he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot anyway.
Isaiah Thomas, Buford and even Presti are professional managers, not bosses, and they need to cherish their feathers and take the consequences of every decision they make.
So, they all intend to keep looking down and continue to evaluate Bruce Lee's strength.
Anyway, in the first round of the restart, Li Zhen had already caught their eye and made them interested.
……
Kansas were quick to organize a counteroffensive, and they were very patient and tactical. But in the end, the top scorer Brandon Rush's turnaround jumper was lost and the Stanford front line combined to strike, and thud... Basketball misses the basket!
Frank Benson quickly protected the rebound and passed the basketball to Li Zhen as soon as possible.
Li Zhen received the basketball and immediately attacked quickly, and the entire Crimson team members followed suit.
When he arrived up front with great vigour, Mario Chammos hadn't even been fully fit, and Bruce Lee took advantage of Frank Benson's high cover to cut straight down the midshaft into the depths of the box.
Kansas' talented striker Ranny Curl immediately got close to him, and he scolded and tried to give Li Zhen a shocking block.
But Li Zhen just shook his body, the basketball was a little higher in the sky, and the nerves in his brain were full of muscles, and he flew up instantly, and he opened his arms like an eagle.
However, the prey he was expecting did not take off.
Instead, on the ground, he turned around easily, his body was elegant, and his steps were brisk, causing cheers on the sidelines.
By the time Lannicur landed quickly and tried to block it, Stanford's little fox had already dragged the basketball slightly with his left hand...... Swish!
Basketball arrested!
Settle battles with ease.
The talented Ranny Cour is like a perfect foil at the moment.
The San Diego Arena resounded with cheers and shouts, and Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines applauded tacitly at this moment, although they were opponents who wanted to kill each other when they were players.
It was a beautiful layup indeed, from feints to turns, to right-footed fast-forwards, and then left-handed picks to score.
Smooth as a mouthful.
"I see the shadow of Tony Parker." Presti told Buford very seriously: "Although his explosiveness is not as strong as Tony, his body control is very good. The whole movement looks very graceful, as if a figure skater is spinning on the ice. ”
Buford nodded.
His interest in Li Zhen became a little stronger. The two rounds just now proved that the famous Son of Miracle is not in vain, and he does have some strength. And very smart, it can even be described as cunning.
Both attacks deceived his opponent, and in the first he seized the gap where the defender took too big a step. The second time was to directly trick the talented forward of Kansas into jumping and easily win with floor flow.
Popovich likes smart guards, and that can be seen in Tony Parker and Ginobili.
And he's a Chinese player. The Spurs, also in Texas, are envious of the Rockets' growth in market value in recent years.
Just as Buford pulled out his notebook and began to write a review of his work, a skirmish broke out on the pitch.
