Michael D'Anthony finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he came to New York for a very risky job. He had long heard of the chaos in the Knicks' locker room, and although he was surprised and delighted by the unusual harmony after arriving, who would have thought that such a sensational brawl would occur on the third day off from work.

Fortunately, the incident ended peacefully.

He also hurried back to his official work.

And when he arrived at Madison Garden, Zach, wearing a floral shirt and sunglasses, was being interviewed by seven or eight media outlets.

He was not affected at all, and even complacent.

“…… I don't care what they say, they say it's a joke or a misunderstanding. I only did what I was supposed to do anyway. ”

"Of course I know what Tom Brady has achieved on the rugby field, but so what? He's not Bruce Lee. Only Bruce Lee can make me do what I say I want but God. ”

"Gisele Bundchen chooses Bruce Lee? Hey, you're a woman too. If Bruce were standing in front of you in jeans and a skinny t-shirt, would you give Tom Brady an extra look? Don't be funny, the words that men say are not credible at all. They talk about blaming Bruce, but in fact, in the dead of night, they pray to have Bruce Lee's looks and wisdom. ”

"I will not speak on behalf of Eddie Griffin. But Eddie is my good brother and there's nothing wrong with what he does. ”

"Oh, yes. Kevin Garnett, on November 21st, we'll be at the North Shore Garden Arena, which is your home stadium. I'm waiting for you to say that to us personally. ”

Zach is fierce in front of the camera, even showing off his biceps.

Now the whole league is marveling at the passion and toughness of the Celtics.

But Zach Randolph didn't pay any attention to the legendary new devil's home field: "As long as I am standing in the penalty area at the same time as Eddie, whoever dares to bark his teeth at us will knock it off with an elbow." ”

Randolph is arrogant and gangster.

D'Antoni was obviously a little overwhelmed, and he listened for a few minutes and hurried away.

As a coach returning to the United States from Europe, he was very bad at dealing with this kind of mixed world Taipo. But when he returned to the locker room, he was relieved to see Li Zhen still sweating and doing push-ups in the center of the locker room, and Stephen Marbury pulled Balkman and Nate Robinson, two young guards, to explain the familiar and unfamiliar theories of 'offense in defense, quick decision in defense, inside and outside, initiative, flexibility, ......and planning' in the protracted battle.

This team is still saved.

But soon, Zach Randolph upset that balance when he returned to the locker room.

As soon as he entered, he announced loudly, "Brothers, I'm in love again." ”

Yes?

In love?

Everyone was stunned by this.

"I was just going to have a date, but who knows, he made me a sandwich the next morning, or a sandwich of bread fried with egg wash... Damn, those Puerto Rican women are really ruthless. Zach babbled.

That night, he did leave Giselle Bundchen's apartment with a female model.

At that time, Li Zhen was still a little worried about the female model, after all, Zach and Eddie were like wolves.

But now, it seems, Eddie wasn't involved at all.

He still played his saxophone quietly, and even Zach shouted that he was in love.

Randolph's words of taking advantage of the situation made Nate Robinson and others boo. At the same time, he began to run over and complain about Li Zhen: Why didn't you take me there?

Nate Robinson claims to have boxed and is a football family that has no problem playing one or two wide receivers.

Eddie Curry said that he could conquer all provocateurs with fat. There are also Jeffries and others, all of whom are regretting not attending such a sensational party across the United States.

In these statements, Li Zhen could only leave quickly and train in another place.

……

The Seattle SuperSonics shattered their foundations and completed a complete rebuild this summer, with Ray Allen, the core of the team, sent to Boston, and the second-in-command, Rashad Lewis, unconditionally released. There is not much left of the long-term contract, and the team has two words written from start to finish: swing rotten.

New head coach PJ Callesimo announced as early as the summer that the new season will focus on training the No. 2 and No. 5 picks.

Kevin Durant will be given full opportunity to perform in the new season.

This kind of treatment is 'supreme' for rookies.

You must know that even LeBron James was not so completely identified as the core when he first entered the league, which even caused a misunderstanding of Ricky Davis, the boss of the Cavaliers at the time: I thought he was chosen to assist me. Of course, the rest of the story is clear, and Ricky Davis will soon clear it.

Therefore, Li Zhen deliberately expressed his blessings to his close brother in the summer league before the start of the game.

But Kevin apparently wanted to know more about the party, and the young multimillionaire asked Li Zhen in a particularly strange way: "So, can you really eat all kinds of snacks at that party?" You shouldn't really be jealous and fighting, right? ”

Li Zhen really didn't think about the question of whether snacks can be eaten casually.

Therefore, he told Eddie Griffin that he must hone Kevin Durant's offensive skills tonight. Otherwise, this guy is always thinking so divergently, and it is easy to burn out his brain.

Poor schoolbag Du is a fledgling, and in his first NBA away game, he encountered a playoff-level confrontation and octopus-level defense, and he struggled extremely throughout the game, although his athleticism, physical condition, and shooting touch were all top-notch, making people know at a glance that he has a bright future. However, his weak confrontation and lackluster game experience made him helpless against ultra-high-intensity defense.

He only scored 18 points on 8-of-26 shooting in the game, and the efficiency was extremely impressive.

But... Even in that case, the Knicks ended up winning by just nine points, only opening up the gap in the second half of the fourth quarter.

Zach still hasn't fully integrated into the run-and-gun tactics, especially since this game also ushered in the return of Eddie Curry.

Two fat men who weigh more than 600 pounds together are a disaster together, how can they run?

D'Antoni wanted to hone his tactics in such a low-level game and try to explore new possibilities.

But it made the game unusually ugly.

If it weren't for the loyalty of Knicks fans this season, it is estimated that more than half of the fans would have fallen asleep or even left the court in frustration under this deadly rhythm.

Speaking after the game, D'Antoni was frank: "I may have to make some appropriate changes to my tactics. ”

So, in the New Jersey game, he put on a starting lineup of Swift, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Crawford, and Bruce Lee.

Moreover, Zach Randolph and Eddie Griffin combined played only 11 minutes in the game. Eddie Griffin was a little better, he got 22 minutes of playing time.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Zhen's absolute authority in the locker room.

With Zach Randolph's temper, it's good not to smash the tactical board.

He hasn't been on the bench since he got his Fastest Improved Player, let alone played just five minutes without injury or pain.

After the game, D'Antoni, who won 121-99, said with a smile on his face: "I have long said that the Knicks are the best team to run and shoot, and Bruce is also one of the two point guards with the most run-and-gun mentality in the league today. ”

He didn't say a word about Zach Randolph's playing time.

This led some New York media to speculate whether Randolph was frozen by the Knicks because of the party clash.

It was around this time that the Knicks embarked on their first road trip to the West of the season.

The first stop was the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Portlanders have formed the Young Janissaries that have wowed the league this season, and under Brandon Roy, they have a 6-2 record in the preseason. In the regular season, three games were played, and two wins and one loss were also achieved.

After Zach Randolph was sent away, Roy finally took sole power.

He also showed his strong leadership charisma, he organized the game and led to the development of a number of young players such as Otero, Webster and Aldridge.

But the sad thing is... Their No. 1 winner, Greg Oden, lost his season without playing a regular season game. And a minimally invasive knee surgery that makes fans feel creepy as it sounds.

Although many Portland fans will console themselves with the example of Stoudemire who is still alive and well after minimally invasive knee surgery.

But at the end of the day... Inevitable associations: Could it be that the Rose Garden Arena really has the legendary curse of the center?

Are we going to make another historic mistake after 1984?

With such a shadow hanging over Portland, even a 2-1 record would make it difficult to put a smile on their faces.

After all, this summer, and even before this summer, everyone was pinning their hopes on Audenthe Great.

What Lee Zhen did to Auden in the summer league has always made Portlanders angry, and many people even believe that Auden's injury was caused by Lee Jin. And, he also publicly declared Kevin Durant in the summer that he was the best player in the class of 2007, isn't that a curse?

On top of that, Lee Jin also snatched Brandon Roy's best rookie last season. This season, he formed a brawny combination with Trail Blazers outcast Zach Randolph.

As a result, Portlanders' hatred of Li Zhen has a solid public opinion support.

So, when the Knicks arrived in Portland, it was only natural that they saw those negative comments about Lee Zhen on TV.

Li Zhen completely ignored these unwarranted negative news.

However, Zach couldn't bear it.

Before he even entered the Rose Garden, he said: "Our goal on Sunday is to wash the Rose Garden in blood."

When he, the outcast, said this, the hostility surged in Portland in an instant!
