When Lee Zhen used cover to easily get past Billups' defense, he reached into the paint zone and settled the fight with a clean throw before the Pistons closed inside.

When Zach Randolph caught the ball and easily shook off McDyce, who was on the defensive, after Li Zhen was alone, he handed it to Eddie Griffin, who jumped up and completed a dunk above Rasheed Wallace's head.

When Quentin Richardson took advantage of Balkman's and Eddie Griffin's 'elevator door' to get rid of Prince's defense, he took a pass from Lee Jin and hit a three-pointer.

When Crawford teased Pistons backup guard Murray with dazzling ball-handling skills during rotation time, he hit an easy pullup jump shot.

When David Lee pierced the basketball through the Nets with a precise mid-range......

When Swift leaps to his feet, he proves his existence with a violent buckle.

Madison Gardens was caught in a frenzied wave of noise again and again.

The excitement of the fans gushed out, and the previous negative and depressed emotions were swept away.

The Pistons became the punching bag for the people of New York.

Although the Pistons organized a strong comeback in the second and third quarters, they had little impact on the Knicks, and Li Zhen led the team to always suppress it quickly. And changing a variety of tactics, Li Zhen is like a tactical encyclopedia, always able to grasp the pain points of the Pistons team, and make a fierce ...... Detroit is getting old after all. Not only are people old, but so are their moves.

Stevens, in front of the TV, watched the game intently, and he finally made a decision.

He turned down the head coaching seat at Butler University and was willing to go to the NBA and go to the Knicks as an assistant coach.

It's not just because of the Knicks' generous salary, and it's not just because Isaiah Thomas promised him that as long as he comes, he can not only use the resources of the NBA, but also exercise some of the privileges of a head coach, such as directly controlling the game.

The most important reason is that he saw Li Zhen's super execution and control of tactics.

Through the TV screen, he clearly saw that his friend Jamie Lin was more like the first commander, he had been holding the tactical board, and he had called Li Zhen to the sidelines more than once to discuss.

This proves that... Isaiah Thomas is indeed a big-hearted manager, and he has an unusual tolerance. Moreover, he is really willing to give opportunities to young people who have no qualifications.

With all of the above, it's not surprising that Stevens made such a choice.

What's more... The Knicks legend has also been preaching on television: "This is an iconic game." The decline of the Pistons is a foregone conclusion, and the Knicks have become the new giants in the East. In the next ten years, under the leadership of Bruce, the Knicks will stand tall among the strong teams! ”

Fraser's remarks made Stevens even more optimistic about the Knicks' prospects.

After all, you have the opportunity to be on a strong team in the NBA and get some freedom and work with the best point guards in the world.

What enterprising basketball coach would turn down that offer?

Stevens decided to defect to New York.

At the same time, he is joined by two other young coaches who are valued by Isaiah Thomas.

Although Isaiah Thomas has a lot of problems, he has a good eye for people and is willing to give people 100% trust.

That's why Jamilin has grown in respect of him.

At the same time, it is also the reason why the Knicks are now moving more and more for the better...... After all, with Li Zhen helping him get the locker room, he doesn't have to worry about 'not enough prestige' at all.

The game was completely decided in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks, who had been pressing the Pistons for the previous three quarters, ushered in a strong outburst in the fourth quarter.

The reason for this wave of outbreaks is that when Li Zhen made a forced breakthrough in the third minute of the fourth quarter, Hamilton, who was thrown off, gave Li Zhen an elbow in anger: Hamilton played poorly all night, Li Zhen's shadowy defense made him extremely uncomfortable, and his proud running and basketball IQ were simply blown up by Li Zhen... Today's Li Zhen is not afraid of this kind of player who plays with his brains on the defensive end, because compared to his brains, no one in the NBA can be admitted to Harvard at the age of 16 except for him.

Hamilton was blocked by Lee Jin for two in a row at the end of the third quarter.

The laughter and ridicule at the scene made him feel ashamed.

Then, after being cleanly thrown off the defense again in the fourth quarter, he finally took the risk and hit Li Zhen hard in the back with an elbow.

At that moment, he felt like his body was suddenly empty.

And in the next second, Eddie Griffin had already rushed in and slapped him directly on the mask, when he felt the huge waves lap on his chest, the sky swirled, and the whole person kicked backwards, if it wasn't for Rashid Wallace to hold him, he would have fallen to the ground.

At the same time, he was also fortunate that Li Zhen hurriedly turned around and hugged Eddie Griffin. Otherwise, with Griffin's grim eyes like a grim reaper, he would have to rush up and continue to beat him.

The three referees rushed over to stop the situation from developing further.

The referee did not say the reason for the score and immediately sent Richardson off.

Eddie Griffin only received a warning and a technical foul because he was hugged by Li Zhen in time and his movements didn't seem to be big.

However, when Hamilton returned to the dressing room, he lay in his chair for a long time, and he felt as if he had suffered a serious internal injury, as if his body had been hollowed out.

What he didn't know was that a malicious elbow he had just made him lose four of his coordination talents.

Coupled with Eddie Griffin's menacing palm, he was already considered to be able to walk back to the locker room standing up.

Correspondingly, Li Zhen never dreamed that Hamilton would have such great malice towards him. This elbow actually gave himself 4 points of coordination.

His coordination talent soared to 90 in an instant.

This means that Li Zhen's implicit talent has entered the first-class situation in an all-round way: coordination 90, agility 92, flexibility 92. Plus explosive power 95 (97) and speed 95 (97).

Even if Li Zhen's strength, physical fitness and bounce are relatively weak now, he is enough to be called a representative of NBA talents. There are definitely no more than fifteen people in the NBA who can surpass him in these five talents.

Of course, if you count the other 3 items, Li Zhen will lose a little too much.

When the chaos passes.

The game continues.

Li Zhen once again held the ball and launched an onslaught.

But this time, he actually made Iverson's classic super-large change of direction, and the new Afflaro didn't even understand what was going on, Li Zhen's shoulders sank, and his body shook... crossover！

Li Zhen is gone.

When he turned around, Bruce Lee was already in the air in the air amid the screams of the court, and he dodged Wallace's block with a freehand lever in the air, and put his backhand into the basket in a slick gesture...... Swish!

This wave of offensive is not only very beautiful, but also... Extremely sharp.

The moment the basketball enters the hoop.

Isaiah Thomas stretched out his hands excitedly, and Madison Garden let out a tsunami-like roar for Li Zhen's answer-ball.

"This is Bruce Lee!! He always speaks with a basketball, and Richardson's dastardly tricks can't stop him from moving forward, he's only going to get stronger! ”

Fraser was already on TV with a hearty voice: "I love the feeling of being in the face of a dirty opponent with a basketball!" ”

Obviously, this is a good fit for the mentality of New York fans in front of the TV.

But what everyone doesn't know is that without Hamilton's malicious elbow strike, Li Zhen would never have been so light and freehand.

When Li Zhen's coordination talent was improved to 90, he felt that his control of every joint in his body had made a qualitative leap, and the difference between 90 and 86 was an extremely obvious gap. This helped him better control his body posture, and although he still couldn't fly as recklessly as Iverson at the peak of the crossover, but... It's no longer difficult to be at the top level of the NBA, not to mention the top-level explosiveness and speed.

In addition, the improved coordination also made his posture in the air more fluid, and he even felt like he could show off a little more when dodging the Roaring Celestial Venerable's block.

Thanks Hamilton.

What a good ATM.

Plus last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, he has already sent two trips of warmth.

Li Zhen's smile is extremely bright on TV.

But the audience's and the narrator's interpretation is clearly very different from what he thinks in his heart: they think that Lee is really enjoying the pleasure of revenge. But in fact, Li is really enjoying the joy of self-improvement.

The game continues.

However, the suspense was quickly lost.

Hamilton's departure became the last straw that crushed the Pistons.

Of course, the most lethal thing is Li Zhen's sudden increase in firepower in the forbidden area.

In 3 minutes, Li Zhen hit the restricted area four times like a knife cutting tofu, achieved 1 assist, and scored 3 goals in a row, all of which were layups and throws. This aggressiveness makes Isaiah Thomas can't help but think of Hardaway the Beetle: Hardaway the Beetle is the most famous king of crossover in the last century, and his famous stunt is the killer crossover, when the Magic once commented on him: When you face Hardaway, you hear the basketball thump on the ground twice, and he has passed by you.

He tore apart with a neat crossover every game night, and then rushed into the box to shoot, layup, and share the ball.

Of course, Li Zhen's physical strength is far inferior to that of the small steel cannon Hardaway.

But the state he is in now has left Hardaway with no better template for a while.

He never dreamed that Li Zhen's hit rate in the penalty area would increase so quickly.

Frankly speaking, Li Zhen himself didn't expect it.

The increase in flexibility talent has actually improved his shooting rate in the restricted area sports battle.

But on second thought, Hamilton's ability to catch the ball after frequent runs is so strong, how bad can he be in this regard.

The difference widened to 15 points after 3 minutes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zhen threw two more threes.

But none hit.

This made him a little regretful, and it seems that the 4-point coordination still did not make his shooting formula harmonious, and he still lacked it in long-range aspects.

However, his anxiety about it is not serious.

The game continued to play for 3 minutes, as the margin widened to 20 points. Sanders finally reluctantly asked for a timeout to replace the bench lineup.

In the close-up given by the TV camera, his expression is no longer as confident as before the game.

Before the game, Sanders criticized the Knicks for going against the grain, having no tactical thinking, no tactical determination, and it is impossible to become a strong team. Only a team like the Pistons, which adheres to tactics and sticks to the system, can become a giant.

However, in this game, the Knicks demolished the Pistons' giant lintel from all aspects, and incidentally destroyed their strong team foundation.

After the game, the New York media will surely unscrupulously mock the Pistons players' pre-game remarks.

Moreover, no one will treat them as the eastern powerhouses anymore.

Now, the top half of the East has changed to the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers.

"An era will pass."

James Dolan sat in the VIP box and held a glass of red wine to celebrate the victory in advance. He sighed to Donnie Walsh: "Without Isaiah, would the Knicks be able to beat the Detroit Pistons without temper in such a short period of time?" ”

Donnie Walsh thought for a moment. Although he knew that Dolan's words were full of loopholes, how could he not see that James Dolan trusted Isaiah Thomas differently from ordinary people.

He nodded hurriedly: "Yes." Isaiah is indeed a rare all-round talent. ”

After hearing this, James Dolan nodded again and again.

He thought to himself that it was time to give Isaiah Thomas and the coaching staff a salary increase.

119：88。

In the end, the difference between the two teams was slaughtered.

The Detroit Pistons were originally full of confidence and ran over to teach the Knicks a lesson in civil strife.

But now, instead of picking the peaches, they were beaten all over the bag.

And, in terms of the course of history, their era is really over.

And the collapse of an old era naturally means the rise of a new era.

"Honestly, if we treat the Pistons as imaginary enemies, we're too degenerate."

In an interview after the game, Isaiah Thomas spread his palms and pretended calmly: "We are just ordinary people who do our best, but some teams are notorious for deliberately touching us." Life is often so cruel. ”

Thomas never talked about tactics in his post-game interview, when NBC reporters asked him what he thought of the use of the twin towers in the second quarter and how the classic long pass was laid out in the third quarter.

He replied calmly: "A true master tactician never sticks to any form of tactics, we just have it at our fingertips!" It's like water, Be-water, my-man! ”

This made NBC reporters look in awe of him.

Thomas has been able to utter some cryptic nonsense lately.

But I have to admit that his media image has improved a lot because of this.

In particular, the remarks about that young man earned him a lot of respect.

In a sense, this also quickly diluted the public opinion storm of D'Antoni's departure.

And, with this victory, public opinion will forget about D'Antoni even more quickly.

This is the saddest thing for D'Antoni in front of the TV.

Because he knows better than anyone that Isaiah Thomas is simply a fancy man with no ink, and he has absolutely no ability to direct tactics. He just picked up the cheap of Jamie Lin and Bruce Lee, and made a name for himself to train young people.

Watch Isaiah Thomas gain fame.

At one point, D'Antoni couldn't help but think: I could have done nothing and reaped the good name.

But now... Alas!

A sigh.

D'Antoni lost completely, and he lost badly.
