Courtney's arrival was the turning point of the game.

Although he is a good shooter, he can't restrict Li Zhen's movements, so he can only passively follow behind him and breathe exhaust. And the fierce offensive set off by Bruce was like a raging fire that instantly engulfed the University of Southern California.

USC has to pay for their arrogance.

They didn't have Stanford in mind from the start.

The coaching staff did not conduct pre-game collection at all, and the tactical response was zero. When they heard that two of Stanford's key players had been injured and that the head coach had run away, their spirits immediately stopped in a state of extreme relaxation.

That's why Pruitt would go to a party with two of his teammates the night before, drinking and indulging.

From top to bottom, no one takes Stanford seriously.

But when they got on the court, the skinny No. 10 point guard gave them a dismissal. He led the team into a sinister run like the Phoenix Suns, and Pruitt knocked him over twice, but ended up resting with a sprained ankle in defense.

Immediately afterward, although Nick Young was still brave. His 29 points on 12-of-25 shooting proved that he was a strong contender for the Most Valuable Player in the Pacific Division.

However, he failed to bring victory to his team.

His efficiency is too low.

Stanford don't have star players, but they work together. Their shooters, their strikers are like tigers under the leadership of Li Zhen. Everyone is smart and accurate in their tasks, especially Scott and Thomson, two of Bruce's best friends, who get the most chances.

Thomson shot 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point line and finished the game for 24 points.

Although Scott did not have the ability to shoot, he relied on his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Li Zhen, and also relied on direct attack to the basket to score 17 points and 9 rebounds.

If he has a consistent mid-range, he has a good chance of scoring more than 30 points. Many times it was because the opponent stuck in the penalty area in advance, and he had to pass the ball twice after receiving the basketball, resulting in a wasted opportunity.

Of course, the brightest star of this game is none other than Li Zhen.

Although he only played 28 minutes due to physical limitations.

But everyone knows that he is the best actor and director of this 'following gram' counterattack performance. If it weren't for his quick maneuver to raise the tempo and push Southern California's half-court play to the point of passivity, Southern California would still have won this game.

And his pace, his ability to play the ball, his playmaking talent were the key details that made this victory.

None of the 10 points, 15 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds can tell the story of his impact.

And in this game, Li Zhen finally gained the first nickname in his life.

When he stole a rebound under the basket in the fifth minute of the second half, launched a fierce counterattack, and used a quick change of direction near the halfway line to get past Courtney, who was on the defensive back, and took Nick Young's defense all the way to the three-point line, and then closed the ball and accelerated to get rid of the top scorer in the Pacific, Magic Johnson couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, he screamed: "This is not Bruce Lee, this is Stanford's little lightning!" ”

And when Time Warner's courtside reporter asked Li Zhen what he thought of the nickname, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you Magic Johnson, I like this nickname very much, he is also my idol, and many of my passing moves are from his tapes." He tapped into my passion for basketball and made me fall in love with the point guard position. ”

When Li Zhen's words were transmitted to the studio through the TV signal, the magician seemed very happy.

"I said it a long time ago, Jonny. His passing moves are very familiar, I learned them from my tapes. I love this guy and I don't mind going to Stanford's gym to teach him some moves in person if I have the time, he's a very talented point guard and I want him to get better and better. ”

The magician said excitedly.

No one can resist this kind of sincere compliment and respect from the heart, and magicians are certainly no exception.

If... Time Warner's signal can support online calls, and Johnson is eager to discuss "The Self-cultivation of Point Guards in the New Era and New Environment" with Li Zhen immediately.

In fact, the reporter asked a similar question.

He asked Li why his tactics tonight were so different from those of Stanford and how he saw his position in the new tactics.

'You know, we've lost two key players before this. We had to change that, and Coach Jamilin did a lot of desk work based on our existing lineup, and through his superb tactical layout ability, we finally figured out this fast offensive and defensive play. ”

"And I'm positioned as a handler playmaker in this setup, and I'm responsible for getting our rhythm up and then quickly getting the ball through when my teammates are open."

Li Zhen emphasized the role of Jamie Lin in every word, and he weakened his ability.

With this victory, he hopes that Jamiling's talent will be recognized and he will become the head coach of Stanford.

Then, sure enough, the reporter asked about the departure of head coach McHaney from the team.

However, his question was a little more poignant, a bit of a discord: "In the absence of the manager, you still won this counterattack. Excuse me, do you think the previous tactical system was not suitable for Stanford? ”

"Nope. Your understanding is incomplete. I mean, Coach Jemilin has made the best plan based on the existing lineup. And when we're all in the team, Coach McHaney's coaching philosophy is the best. ”

Bruce said without a leak: "And, the head coach is doing more important work. He's worked hard for a better future for our team and we're all proud to have a coach like that. ”

Li Zhen obviously doesn't want things to turn into a coaching battle under the provocation of the media, which is definitely not a good thing for Jamilin. After all, Coach McHaney has a pivotal position in California basketball circles, and Jamilin is just a fledgling Chinese-American assistant coach, and even if he wins a beautiful victory, it won't pose any threat to McHanney.

Instead, once he angers McHaney, he is likely to be dismissed outright by the Sports Commission.

In fact, Jemilyn also called McHaney to report at the first time.

McHaney was a little surprised by the victory. So, after encouraging Jamielin, he turned on the TV.

Immediately after, he saw Li Zhen's post-game picture on Time Warner.

Lee's answer really satisfied him.

He smiled and nodded, muttering: The top students who can be admitted to Harvard are really different. It would be nice if his confrontation ability was better. I'm not going to remove him either.

For McHaney, removing Bruce from next season is a tough choice, and Lee has always been a smart and hardworking player in his heart. But with a limited number of players on the squad, he had to make a trade-off. Although he is very unhappy with Chris Patter, he is the cousin of ace TJ Wharton: he can only keep this waste.

Alas!

He sighed: If only Bruce's cousin were T.J. Ford.

At this time, Time Warner began to replay the highlights of the game.

When he saw the first shot, he was completely dumbfounded.

How so?

Is this still Bruce?
