0358: [Everything will be better, if not, I'll make everything better]
Alan Houston is a legend of the New York Knicks, he is known as the most standard shooting player in NBA history, and has established a reputation as the 'mid-range shooting king' in the league.
If he hadn't been injured, he would have been much more famous than he is now.
At least... You don't have to be assigned by your old club to train new cores.
After all, even last season, the New York Knicks were still paying Alan Houston a huge contract, and he had even been out of retirement for two years at that time.
This is TJ Ford's dream dream, and who wouldn't want to sign a six-year, $100 million contract at the age of 30? He announced his retirement at the age of 34, and then still received a salary of nearly $20 million a year from the team.
So, to do something for this kind of conscience old club, Alan Houston is happy to do it.
What's more, Bruce is such a smart student.
He's always been the first to grasp the essence of his shooting, and he thinks Bruce Lee is the hardest working player he's ever seen.
"No wonder you have so many girlfriends? Why is it that you have been exhausted from training in the morning and can't even lift your hands, and after taking a nap at noon, you can now recover all your physical strength? Alan Houston, although well-dressed, is also a gossip lover: "Your physique is perfect for going to Anne Hathaway's bedroom in the first half of the night and breaking into Paris Hilton's room in the second half of the night." ”
Li Zhen looked at him helplessly.
This kind of look is very similar to Alan Houston seeing Li Zhen beat the basketball with a posture that is so standard that it can no longer be standard.
When Houston was still a player, he often complained that the Toronto Air Arena was like a giant matchbox, boxy, unaesthetically pleasing, and not mellow at all.
Now, he thinks that Lee's shooting arc may be even more square than this arena.
What made him even more depressed was that Li Zhen was actually happy that he could achieve a shooting percentage of more than 50 percent in the training gym.
My daughter, who is in third grade, can do that.
Alan Houston has emphasized this more than once.
He was frustrated, and even had profound worries about his future career as a teaching assistant.
Li Zhen accepted this calmly.
He's already very happy with his current shooting because he's not clueless like Alan Houston and doesn't know how to improve himself. He knows... As long as your talent ratio is balanced, your shooting can be slowly practiced. Right now... Be patient and keep trying.
And in fact, Li Zhen is not completely without gains. The agility he gained from Paris Hilton made him more dangerous when he broke through, which boosted his overall performance. And, let his on-the-go throws become more and more presentable.
That's good news for a breakaway defender.
Alan Houston has always believed that these 'things' are trivial, and only a consistent mid-range shot can kill the opponent.
However, what he didn't know was that the only attack he could do in the previous breakthrough project was to go straight to the basket, or quickly pass the basketball to his teammates after deceiving the opponent.
Now, it couldn't be more fun to finish in the breakthrough process and ensure a certain hit rate.
It's like... People who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas will not salivate over a plate of egg fried rice, but for people like Li Zhen who have been nibbling on steamed buns at the scoring end, egg fried rice is simply a delicacy in the world.
The psychological threshold is different, and everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.
In addition to caring about the messy suspected future daughter-in-law, the Kochi woman who once knew nothing about basketball began to emphasize to Li Zhen: "You have to score more points, don't always pass the ball to others, and make yourself the absolute protagonist of the court." ”
It's hard for Li to explain to his mother the importance of a point guard on the basketball court and what a great statistic assists are. It's as if his father, Professor Lee, was able to talk to Stephen Marbury about his deep understanding of Eastern and Western philosophies. But she did not dare to easily refute Ms. Wang's paradox of gravity.
In Chinese families, it's usually like this... A person with a foreign surname can easily stand at the top of the food chain, and two or three or even four people with the same surname can only huddle together to keep warm.
……
Compared to Isaiah Thomas, he is fierce and aggressive in the media.
The Knicks locker room didn't show much enthusiasm and positivity, and Li Zhen, as the Knicks' rightful leader, did not call on his teammates to encourage each other and make a tirade with high morale.
Lee is really bad at saying things like 'what do you want to make those who underestimate us look good,' even though he knows that almost all of the non-New York media is gloating these days waiting for the Knicks to make a comeback in Toronto.
Americans don't believe in the theory that the prodigal son doesn't change his money.
Therefore, even if Stephen Marbury and Quentin Richardson went to the Buddhist college, they were constantly ridiculed as a joke on various talk shows.
"That sounds even worse than going to a nightclub and ordering twenty beautiful women to play Russian roulette."
Even Richardson laughed at himself in the locker room.
Crawford, on the other hand, held up a sports illustrated newspaper and said, "Isn't it right for me to go to Rock Park to improve my ball skills?" There's nothing to criticize about this. Who mandates all training to be done in the gym? ”
The preconceptions in everyone's heart are a towering mountain, and it is difficult for you to overthrow them.
Li Zhen can accurately feel the depression in the hearts of his teammates, who have actually become accustomed to the cynicism of the media. However, why are these guys so unscrupulously despising and even discrediting themselves when they are already becoming more friendly?
Such a sound could easily push the lost back into the darkness.
Thereupon.
Nearly 30 minutes before the game, Li Zhen finally said a calm word when everyone put their hands together to do the customary cheering ceremony for the upcoming game: "Everything will be fine, if not, then I will change everything for the better." ”
When Li Zhen said this, his eyes seriously touched and intersected with everyone's eyes.
Although Bruce has never been a talkative, motivating leader.
But at this moment, everyone put an unparalleled trust in him.
……
If the mood in the away team's dressing room is like a calm sea.
Then the home team's dressing room has long been like a pot of boiling hot soup.
The leader of the team, Chris Bosh, had no room to speak, and everyone was there to express their thoughts excitedly.
The Raptors have a pitiful number of live broadcasts every year, and they are in a foreign country, so there is no exposure at all. Right now... It's a great opportunity for each of them to make a debut.
First of all, the New York Knicks are a notoriously bad team, and they also enjoy a very high level of popularity. On top of that, their team leader is also a traffic star with obvious shortcomings.
All authoritative pundit comments point to one clear fact: the Raptors will advance comfortably.
Now that the results are clear.
So, why not take this opportunity to describe the process of the game well.
"I have to put a strong and heavy buckle on that Chinese kid's head, and I can't stand the news that he is being chased by so many female stars."
'I'm going to cut them off like a sausage and show the world how I've improved on the ball.'
"I swear I'm going to knock over Bruce Lee who trespassed into the box and tell him, 'Rookie, welcome to the NBA.'"
“……”
The home team's dressing room was full of gossip as a group of kindergarten kids around a delicious cake and discussing which piece they would eat first.
No one wants to miss out on the opportunity to become famous.
Now the time is right.
"Kill the Knicks!!"
When TJ Ford stood up and raised his arms and shouted, the entire locker room instantly became a huge and emotional surge.
Like a bandit about to go down the mountain to ransack.
