If we talk about the first quarter, Bruce is still trying his hand for the first time.

Then in the second half of the third quarter, his characteristics are completely displayed at a glance.

TNT's host, Earl Johnson, who was not a big fan of Bruce Lee, said during the interck: "Bruce is a different kind of player, he doesn't rely on physical confrontation at all. He is like a jumping elf on the court, he is very agile and has an unusual rhythm. At the same time, he is also a cunning fox, always good at using his movement and teammates' bodies, he constantly leads defenders into traps, and then surprises to complete assists or score. I saw the shadow of Ginobili in him, the shadow of Williams. ”

"But what is certain is that his style is unique. I don't know how far he can go with this style of play and when he'll bump into a rookie. But at least for now, the Lakers are stronger because of him, especially Kwame Brown and Eddie Griffin, who always shine when they are in the same place as Bruce. ”

Earl Johnson's words struck the hearts of the audience.

The MOP from Stanford has brought a refreshing feeling to North American fans, and he is completely out of the traditional style of play. It's not even quite like a point guard, because he gives basketball to Bryant a lot of the time.

But one thing is certain.

"Bruce is probably the best point guard in the world for Kobe Bryant, even though he hasn't shown any long-range shooting prowess."

Kenny Smith said, "He's so well suited to be Robin next to Bryant. He doesn't have much desire to attack, he dribbles well but doesn't rely on long periods of possession, he has the vision and insight to make passes in the moment he catches, and he fills the hole where Bryant is not good at tandem with his teammates. He gave the Lakers players their own roles and played their own roles. ”

He was full of praise.

Charles Barkley, who sat next to him, also gave some recognition: "His passing ability and running awareness are commendable. As probably the brightest player the NBA has ever seen, he brings a different mindset to the basketball court. ”

But... He still reminded: "Please be careful. It's just a preseason game, and they're up against the Golden State Warriors, the team that concedes the most points per game in the league. Bruce hasn't had any real confrontation yet, and it's too early to define him. ”

Of course, this kind of reminder obviously doesn't do much for the fans.

The vast majority of the audience was attracted by this 'cunning support' style of play, even if Bruce always seemed to avoid Davis's confrontation in a roundabout way, but... As an egg, isn't it also a skill that he can play with stones? The vast majority of viewers in front of the TV are not physically equipped to play in the NBA, and now it is hard not to love a 'mediocre' player who shines in the highest halls of basketball in a different way.

Phil Jackson also loved Bruce.

So, when the whistle sounded again, he pressed Li Zhen to the bench.

He doesn't want Bruce to run out of energy in preseason and increase injury risk. Because Li Zhen's physical condition is really not ideal.

……

After the bearded man and the martial saint entered the decisive battle with full of anger, they were angry when they found that the cunning Bruce did not play.

Driven by anger, he shot again and again. And then the iron was struck again and again.

Fortunately, the Lakers' side is not strong, Bruce is not there, and the Black Mamba is not there. Odom and Wharton led Radmanovic, Jordan Farmar and Bynum into a wave of traditional positions. But with little success, despite Bynum's constant rainbow with his left hand and a dragon with his right hand in the penalty area, the hit rate was still ironclad.

Kobe Bryant took to the court after a four-minute break from the bench.

But at this time, the bearded man and the martial saint also slowly calmed their minds, so their feelings improved, and they scored goals one after another.

But the Black Mamba is not a vegetarian, he has the courage to single-handedly overturn the world, and he is on par with the Golden State Warriors.

Time just moved forward slowly, and the scores of the two teams were increasing alternately, and neither could kill the other.

Just when everyone thought that the game would be fought to the end, and the fierce preseason battle would be solved with a stunner, the Golden State Warriors finally showed the courage to punch and kill the master.

First, the dunk king Jason Richardson, who was by Kobe Bryant for most of the game, kicked off with a throw.

Then Stephen Jackson, who had a fierce expression and a suffocating belly, knocked the distracted Lamar Odom to the ground with a strong push in the frontcourt, grabbed the basketball and rushed to the three-point line, another 3-pointer.

Next, the Black Mamba missed a shot in a pinch, and then Smash Parker fouled the bearded man again.

The bearded man thumped his chest in relief before stepping onto the free throw line.

The momentum of the Oracle Arena was instantly ignited by him.

This wave of strong counterattack made everyone see how terrible the Golden State gangs are once they go crazy.

With 2:45 left in the game, the Golden State Warriors temporarily led by six points at 145:139.

Backbite!

At the strong request of Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson asked for a timeout.

The Black Mamba clearly didn't want to lose the game, so he came to the bench and suggested to the coaching staff: "We need Bruce for us to get the most out of us." I don't want the Lakers to accept defeat in the first game of the new season, we have to have a fresh start. ”

This sentence made Smash Parker very sad.

The same goes for Jordan Famar.

They seem to be treated like air by the team leader.

And what made them even more sad was the words of the elder Winter: "Although what you said is very true, we also have to take into account Bruce's physical condition......"

Forehead....

Parker's and Farmar's faces sank.

Phil Jackson was silent for a few seconds before looking up to ask about Li Zhen's physical condition.

Li Zhen replied truthfully: "My physical strength supports me to play for the last 2 minutes, and there will definitely be no problem." ”

So, Jackson walked the dragon snake in the tactical board. Quickly bring on the lineup of Bruce Lee, Kobe Bryant, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown.

This lineup fully demonstrates the Zen master's trust in Li Zhen.

Because he has put two playmakers, Luke Walton and Lamar Odom, on the bench, he will ensure that at least one playmaker will coordinate on the pitch until then. But now, he uses pure goalscorers Radmanovic and Eddie Griffin, who are more comfortable with Li Zhen.

In a sense, this is the equivalent of a big test.

If Bruce can fully support the team, then he will continue to revise the playbook to further his role.

Backbite!

When the whistle blew, Bruce Lee returned to the court.

Byron Davis came to him before he stepped to the free throw line and bumped his shoulder. This is a small action that NBA veterans are very good at, shoulders and elbows are raised to stealthily come when passing by opponents. The referee can't see it, and he can let the opponent know that he is tough.

Li Zhen suddenly felt pain, and involuntarily took two steps backwards, and then reached out and rubbed his ribs: this is too painful.

It was his first time in the NBA.

A 'tough' smile appeared on Davis's lips, and he warned Bruce: "Rookie. You won't get away with it anymore. ”

Meanwhile.

Ding dong!

'Automatically capture malicious emotions, and all actions done to hurt you will be punished, and now grab 1 point of power from the opponent. Purify the stadium and promote positive energy, starting from me......'

When this voice sounded in his head, Li Zhen was a little confused.

He didn't expect Davis's dirty little actions to passively 'add points', and the bearded man was stealing chickens and rice.

So, he looked up at Byron Davis: "Is that all you have to do?" Come again! Pick up your elbow and hit me in the chest! ”

Li Zhen has a righteous face.

The bearded man was a little frightened.

He pretended to glare at Bruce and walked to the free throw line.

After a trademark free-throw ceremony, he shot the basketball, which he thought he had nine out of ten. However... Bang!

Basketball hits iron.

A slight lack of strength.

It made him frown, and he was upset that he missed a shot.

Then, he made a second shot.

Bang!

Actually striking iron again.

It's still an old problem, lacking a bit of strength.

How so?

Byron Davis is quite puzzling.

At this time, Kwame Brown, who got the rebound, hesitated for half a second and handed the basketball directly to Kobe Bryant.

He is still worried about Bruce's confrontation: at this time, Byron Davis will definitely take the full court press, and handing over to the Black Mamba is the best way.

But what he didn't know was that at this time... Giving the ball to Bruce is the best option.
