0437: [Who is the first point guard]

'I never interfere with the manager and the players. It's good if they're happy. ”

Isaiah Thomas in New York was inevitably asked about the internal conflict between Zach and D'Antoni, and the New York media was worried about this. They were afraid that the taste of victory, which they had so hard to taste, would come to an abrupt end and become the bitterness of defeat.

But, Thomas, on a nonchalant look: "My way of management is to let nature go." Be-water! ”

This speech seemed to be indulging the contradictions between the generals and commanders.

And when an ESPN reporter maliciously asked Thomas if he was worried that there were too many bad kids in the team right now, it would affect the team's future prospects.

The smiling assassin's eyes widened and he asked rhetorically in an incredulous tone, "Isn't it good to be a jerk?" ”

Forehead....

The reporter choked on this sentence and was speechless on the spot.

However, it made headlines in many media outlets on the day. They lashed out at Thomas's team-building ideas in words, and spoke in a tone that was not to be unprecedented: the Knicks were bound to fall after a short period of glory, and there was no normal person on their team, from management to players. Sooner or later, they will get lost in the chaos and eventually never recover.

Regarding D'Antoni and Zach Randolph, they made a straightforward prediction that one person would inevitably get out before the All-Star break.

Forehead....

Li Zhen saw the report on the way to Satmento, and he was suddenly a little stunned: Why do we still target us so much after four consecutive victories? It's like we're losing.

He was depressed, and then he continued to go to the open area behind him to practice his physical fitness...... This is a special fitness area for the blues that James Dolan specially opened up on the plane in the offseason, and even equipped him with some fitness equipment.

MSG TV interviewed the plane before the game, and the images surprised reporters and viewers alike: no one had ever thought of having a gym on the plane.

But that's why Bruce Lee is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone should learn how to manage their time with him, and he always uses other people's time off to enrich himself, which is why we firmly believe that the Knicks will go from strength to strength.

James Dolan's statement on television touched thousands of Knicks fans.

Through this small detail, the fans' respect for Li Zhen has also been greatly improved.

It's rare for someone to work that hard, but when someone who works so hard shows up in front of you and plays for your favorite team, you can't help but give a thumbs up and buy some of his merch...... For example, the latest launch of the second generation of Li Zhen's signature shoes.

In addition, the New York media has recently been making sharp arguments with well-known media outlets such as ESPN and Sports Illustrated.

This is the storm caused by Randolph's words.

These media hyped that Li Zhen would never become the greatest point guard in NBA history, and even claimed that Li Zhen was still far from the current No. 1 capital. Moreover, the gap with Deron Williams and Chris Paul will widen.

Even, they make a detailed PK list.

But... What they do is a list of physical gifts, not a list of data...... Because Li Zhen's data is better than these two in general, and there is also a record blessing.

This unfair standard of judgment naturally could not convince the New York media and New York fans who protected the calves, and they not only tried their best to refute it, but also burned the war on the two Tianjiao of the class of 05.

The atmosphere is tense.

Li Zhen also looked at the PK list.

In the PK list with Chris Paul, Li Zhen actually lagged behind in all aspects, whether it was speed, explosiveness, bounce, agility, flexibility, coordination...... This made Li Zhen feel a little nonsense.

He believes that his speed and explosiveness have an advantage, although not a large advantage.

And, why not compare the height reach?

Chris Paul is 183 tall in shoes. At the time of this season's physical examination, Li Zhen had reached a height of 193 barefoot and an arm span of 211. Definitely a tall point guard among point guards.

After Li Zhen pushed fifteen sets of barbells, he took a deep breath.

To be honest, Li Zhen's physical fitness is not bad now, and he is even above average in the NBA.

After all, he has two talents of 95 (up to 97 bursts), two (92), and 84 coordination.

His talent for flexibility can already wrestle with those proud sons.

What is lacking now is the strength talent, which is only 64 points. The physical fitness is only 73, and under the ordinary confrontation in the regular season, he can barely play for 30 minutes. The bounce is more embarrassing, although Li Zhen's bounce rate is amazing, but the bounce height has not gone up, with the identity of Jordan's successor, Bo's identity as a low-altitude artist is a bit nondescript. After all, you only have 62 points of bouncing talent.

Bounce is a useful thing on the court, not just for dunks, but also for a lot of aerial dodging and even jump shots.

What Li Zhen desires most now is the talent of strength, and then the talent of bouncing.

So, he did a few more push-ups before returning to his position to rest.

Now, just one step away from irrigating his talent, he felt more and more the shattered desire that the talent space was about to open.

……

The second stop on the Knicks' western road trip is Satmento.

The glamorous team that did whatever it wanted at the turn of the century has completely collapsed with Adelman's departure to Houston, and the team that fans praised is now only center Brad Miller.

Loyalty among Satmento fans is also declining rapidly, with the two owners who run the casino home page even trying to sell the team because the attendance is so impressive.

Li Zhen's arrival finally filled the Arco Arena, even though most of the fans were women, and Bruce was greeted with the biggest cheers and screams in the stadium.

But the king boss endured it without complaint.

After all... The last time we sold short regular season home tickets was three seasons ago...... Alas!

Everywhere there is desolation.

Regerseus, who was promoted from assistant coach to head coach, clearly doesn't have much ambition, and he hasn't even done a close look at the Knicks.

He is obviously not as meticulous as Jemilin, who is an assistant coach though. But on the plane, he did the technical characteristics of each player of the Kings team, discussed countermeasures with other assistant coaches, and pulled the videographer to cut out the corresponding video for the players to watch.

Finally, a detailed report of recommendations was given to D'Antoni.

D'Antoni was so fond of Jamilin that he even asked him to arrange some positional offensive tactics. His only request for Jamilin is: to let Zach score more.

Jemilin was a smart man, and he quickly understood D'Antoni's intentions through this detail.

However, he was tight-lipped about it. The Chinese are the deepest of all races, they know what to say and what not to say, and they are naturally good at cutting tofu on both sides.

People who are able to control their emotions often get more than they expected.

Jamilin's reward was that D'Antoni gave him the status of almost assistant head coach, and there was no hint of jealousy. Because D'Antoni knows very well that no matter how powerful a young Chinese assistant coach is, it is impossible to threaten his head coach position, unless the Knicks want to risk the world's condemnation.

It's an ingrained unspoken rule. Although no one talks about discrimination, the discrimination in the heart is even more terrible. Chinese, including Asian-Americans, have ceilings in many professions in the United States.

Even Li Zhen.

If he were black, do you think there would be so much media out of him?

There were no twists and turns in the game against the Kings.

Bruce Lee easily dominated the Kings' point guard Kenny Thomas and played a strong defense against Kevin Martin. Under his defense, the Kings' leading scorer, Kevin Martin, scored just four points on seven shots.

This even made Kevin Martin complain after the game: "This guy must have evaded the paparazzi out of experience, and I have never seen anyone who can track my pace like he has GPS precise navigation." ”

Although Kevin Martin is taller than Li Zhen, he is of similar stature, and although his confrontation ability is slightly stronger, he does not reach a level gap. In the face of this kind of running defender who is not strong in ball handling, Li Zhen's keen judgment, coupled with super speed, explosiveness and agility, he can completely produce the effect of shadowing.

That's why Hamilton was ruthlessly targeted last season.

Li Zhen has every reason to believe that if he meets the Pistons again this season, Hamilton will suffer even more.

122:99。

It's another bloodless game.

Li Zhen played 22 minutes, scoring 15 points, 11 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, easily like a civil servant clocking in to work at Shimizu Yamen.

Zach Randolph has been able to play well under Jamilin's tactical arrangement, whether it is against Mickey Moore or Brad Miller. With 28 points and 15 rebounds, he showed off his power after the game.

"It's a complete waste of a super center like me, and a center like me should build a penalty area around me. Why do you have to let the eagle cut off its wings and go hunting in the jungle? ”

"I can't think of a better center in the East than I am."

"I don't really want to talk about the first thing in the league, but is there a suspense about being first in the East?"

In every game, Zach Randolph was able to say things that made people want to beat him up. At the same time, his words can also spark a frenzy of discussion in the media. It's like throwing a piece of carrion in the sewer, and there are always flies buzzing around.

Game 3 of the Knicks' Western away tour takes place on the Colorado Plateau.

The thing that makes Li Zhen regret is... Alan Iverson is injured, and Carmelo Anthony is also out of the game due to diarrhea.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are called kings.

J.R. Smith became the core output of the Nuggets.

He couldn't help but criticize Li Zhen before the game, but no one takes him seriously now. He could no longer be on an equal footing with Li Zhen as he did when he first joined the alliance.

Eddie Griffin came on and gave him two blocks.

Zach Randolph struggled this time, and the Denver Nuggets were not good at tactics, but the tactical reserve was called a leverage. The golden twin guns on the outside line are perennially in the top three in the scoring list, and after Kobe Bryant are these two dreadlocked brothers. The interior line is also stockpiled with a number of centers with different styles but good defense, such as Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, and Nene Hilario.

It stands to reason that even if such a lineup can't mix with the championship, there will be two Western Conference finals.

Yet, yet.

A first-round sweep seemed to be their fate.

I can't talk too much about this.

Anyway, George Karl must have to carry the pot well.

Since Zach Randolph was ruthlessly blocked by the Nuggets inside in this game, so... Not surprisingly, the Knicks picked up the pace of their offense. Swift, who hasn't played in a long time, roars through the jungle, David Lee also makes a big shot from mid-range, and Quentin, who recites the Buddha, who overkills Denver nine times from beyond the three-point line.

The Knicks were vigorous and smooth in the state of running and shooting, on the other hand, the Nuggets were difficult to change their freedom and carelessness, and JR Smith took the chicken feather as an arrow, soared 22 shots, and only scored 15 points.

Instead, Crawford came on the court in the second and third quarters to perform for him what is called the art of convulsions.

Scored 25 points after 14 sales.

Ultimately.

149:91。

The biggest point difference of the season was released, and the Knicks won by 58 points.

It's really inhumane.

The Colorado Plateau is full of rumors and all kinds of mothers.

Their media thought the Knicks were doing a great job.

But... Who made the Knicks' run so smooth tonight? Who told the Denver Nuggets to grab a pot of good ingredients and stew a bowl of black soup? In fact, they didn't even get Zach Randolph done, although Randolph was blocked in the first quarter, but after entering garbage time, he did not forget the promise of 20+10, and played all the way around, and forced the difference to 58 points.

That's why the Denver media accused the Knicks of being unjust.

"It's normal for young people to be angry."

Zach Randolph was interviewed after the game, looking not ashamed but proud. "Who let some people throw the league's No. 1 center to the end of the quarter."

Forehead....

This 'shameless' remark has naturally attracted criticism and abuse from the media.

That includes the Knicks' next opponent, the New Orleans Hornets.

The New Orleans Hornets have thrived this season under Chris Paul, and the addition of Tyson Chandler has added to his strength. So far, 7 games have been played, the Hornets have a good record of 5 wins and 2 losses, and Chris Paul himself is averaging 22.3 points and 10.6 assists per game, becoming the only point guard in the league who averages 20+10 per game.

This is also the reason why many basketball media use Paul to ruthlessly crush Li Zhen.

Basketball pundits say that Chris Paul is taking over the banner of Nash and Kidd as the league's No. 1 point guard. As for Bruce Lee... They all thought it would fall.

Moreover, they have already begun to encourage Chris Paul to give Li Zhen a little color in the next battle and puncture his vision.

Chris Paul thinks the same thing in his heart, he suffered at the hands of Li Zhen last season, he has worked hard for it all offseason, and his pride does not allow himself to lose to an embroidered pillow that has been rumored all day long.

His banana boat brothers also supported him in giving color.

However, it was Tyson Chandler who shot first.

He turned his gun on Zach Randolph.
