Although Kobe Bryant preached in front of the camera after the game that 'Bruce is definitely a ruthless character and he will be the new answer among point guards'.

However, Bruce still managed not to make headlines that night.

Even the 'man who scored the decisive goal' shot past Byron Davis was only second in the top five.

Because... The Portland Trail Blazers' No. 7 pick, Brandon Roy, is just too strong.

He scored 36 points against the Timberwolves on the road and finished a textbook finish.

The University of Washington senior made a shocking appearance in his first preseason game in the NBA, and he put Timberwolves rookie Randy Foye to shame in front of him.

At the same time, the super data of 36 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block also made Bruce's 9 points, 15 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals a younger brother.

And what makes the media talk about it the most is that his killer shot was done on the head of Kevin Garnett. At that time, the wolf king had been whispering trash talk in his ear, but when the whistle blew, the basketball hole pierced the basket.

At that time, Garnett, the king of trash talk, closed the mic.

His slightly open mouth and stunned expression made headlines in countless media. Some media even deliberately matched the headline that made the wolf king depressed: the super rookie stuffed KG's mouth with a 'lore'.

Look at the Wolf King, and then look at Byron Davis.

"There's no board."

Even Eddie Griffin is complaining, "If you killed Kevin Garnett last night, you'd be the news hero." ”

Li Zhen was unusually calm, doing a simple weighted frog jump in the hotel corridor of Satmento.

He didn't relax for a moment.

In fact, he didn't stop on the plane to Sattemento last night, and he was constantly working on small muscle groups with simple dumbbells: much to the delight of both Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant, who both liked the hard-working players.

But in fact, at this time, Li Zhen just wanted to use sweat to irrigate his talent, although he performed quite well last night. But the confrontation with Byron Davis made him realize how obvious his shortcomings were.

Interestingly, Byron Davis did not generously admit defeat in an interview after the game, he only emphasized: "We don't study him enough, we underestimate the enemy." ”

And claimed: "His actual confrontation ability is very weak, and the Lakers dare not let him stay on the court for a long time because he will become a hole in the court." ”

As for Stephen Jackson, he felt that the Tao was different.

"I don't like him, he has the purity of an intellectual youth. He always said those high-sounding things, and he had to know that the NBA was a place full of confrontations, and his bookish truths didn't fit here. If he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he must be mentally prepared to be blackelbowed. ”

Forehead....

When Li Zhen saw Stephen Jackson speak on TV, he actually couldn't laugh or cry: These two gangsters shouldn't think I'm cowardly, right? I'm actually protecting you, don't you feel that something is wrong with your body?

So, in some media, there are even voices criticizing Bruce.

This made Li Zhen feel depressed: how did it make it seem like we lost. Can't you be objective?

Fortunately... The Los Angeles media has begun to turn, and most of the media have praised Li Zhen. Some media even compared Li Zhen to Magic Johnson, the No. 1 point guard in team history.

Although the result of the comparison is that Bruce is still far behind, everyone feels that Bruce's passing skills are very magical, and even higher than Magic in the ability to quickly move the ball.

……

In the game against the Satermento Kings, Li Zhen still only played 16 minutes.

He was up against McBibby, and although he claimed in a pre-match interview with the Chinese media that he was one-eighth Chinese, he would have entertained Bruce Lee.

But on the court, the White Devil is not relentless.

The strong defender pressed hard as soon as he came up, causing Bruce to fall twice within 30 seconds of his play.

But after two sessions, Bruce gradually found a knack for tangling with McBibby. He directs less on the ball and runs more. He helped the Lakers with cunning moves and quick passes, and at times he had a flash of inspiration, and with the Kings switching defenses, a flashy change of direction crossover shook center Brad Miller to the ground and scored a layup.

In the end, Bruce handed over a report card of 6 points, 9 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

Although it was not as eye-catching as the first one, it was also decent and had a lot of highlights.

To the delight of Lakers fans, Bruce Lee and Bryant worked together perfectly. When Kobe Bryant singles with the ball, Bruce moves like Robin next to Batman, and his quick and clever passes make Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown, Radmanovic, Lamar Odom... and others benefited a lot.

When he was there, the Lakers' efficiency was off the charts.

When he was gone, the Lakers immediately went back to their old ways.

"His value is far greater than the numbers tell him."

That's why Phil Jackson answered reporters after the game.

Interestingly, though. After the Kings lost the game, Ron Artest, who didn't play, made a big fuss, and the good brother who used to be beaten up with Stephen Jackson at the palace in Auburn Hills had a similar opinion, believing that Bruce was not 'tough' enough to always avoid playing.

"It's a trick. I don't like Kenny Smith's 'Be-water' argument. A confrontation is a confrontation, and the barbell plates in the gym never lie. When I meet him in the next game, I'll definitely make him understand what it means to be strong! ”

His shout-out added another heavyweight to the 'Pack Up the Blues' list.

Li Zhen doesn't know why so many players want to target themselves, and they all think I'm a bully?

Do you think you can be famous by stepping on me?

Li Zhen sneered at the corner of his mouth, and there was arrogance in his heart.

He didn't refuse anyone anyway. No matter what the purpose of these people is, whether they come openly or do some shady little actions, he takes it all.

After playing against the Kings, the Lakers went to Texas and experienced the baptism of the Texas top three.

No surprises, three consecutive defeats.

Even if everyone is playing in the preseason, the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Spurs and Mavericks is still superior to the Lakers.

In San Antonio, Bruce played 15 minutes and had nine points and five assists. The reason why he had fewer assists in this game was because the Spurs' defense was too dense and he couldn't show his skills.

But interestingly, after the game, Popovich also specially praised Li Zhen. He commented that Lee was really a younger version of Ginobili plus Tony Parker. "He's got Tony's speed, Manu's spirituality, and a sense of rhythm and a big-picture perspective. Of course, he also has a worse shooting than Tony back then, and more headaches than Manu. I can't predict what he'll turn out of the future, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the Lakers' trade this summer. If it were me, I would do the same. ”

In addition to Popovich's praise, Manuginobili also expressed his appreciation, remembering Bruce's cross-court pass in the third quarter: "He has all the prerequisites to be a master passer. He just needs to work on his physical confrontation now, and of course increase his strength while maintaining his current flexibility and speed. ”

Ginobili made a crucial point.

It made Bruce seem to realize something.

He waited for the positive energy to awaken and then asked a crucial question.

In Dallas and Houston, Bruce's performance was mediocre. Because Kobe Bryant exploded in these two games.

I don't know why, Kobe Bryant is extra energetic as long as he plays these two teams, even in the preseason. In Dallas, he made 32 sales and scored 43 points. In Houston, he made 32 sales and scored 42 points.

None of them were very efficient, so they lost both games.

Li Zhen's biggest takeaway in these two games may be a trip to Yao's restaurant for an inauthentic Chinese meal, as well as a 2-point agility on the Dallas center, bringing his agility to 70.

At that time, he broke into the box several times in a row and provided an assist under Dampier's nose. This made Dampier very resentful, but he was helpless.

In the end, when Bruce drove into the box for a layup, he finally got a chance to retaliate by sending Lee Jin out of the air and to the ground with a completely unnecessary physical confrontation.

The Lakers then called a halt to the game and then pinned Lee to the bench, not allowing him to risk any more on the court.

But at this time, Li Zhen's biggest question is: Why did I add agility from Dampier, a center? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to add strength?

Looking at Dampier, who was shaken down by the black mamba on the court, Li Zhen was puzzled.

He felt that his physical talent was showing a strong Matthew effect, the stronger the stronger, and the weaker although not weaker, but lying on his stomach and not moving at all was not a solution.

……

With Houston's China Derby over and the Lakers returning to Los Angeles, they will wrap up the preseason of the 06-07 season after two home games.

Interestingly, Lee's first opponent back at home was Timberwolves rookie Randy Foye, who had been targeting him since the beginning of draft camp.

Although Randy Foye was picked up by Brandon Roy in his preseason debut.

But he is still confident about the upcoming Bruce, and he predicted the media three days ago: "I'm going to expose that kid in front of everyone in Los Angeles soon." He will be easily destroyed by me. ”

He single-handedly made a lot of noise, as Kevin Garnett was behind him: "Randy Foyer is really a rare talent, and he shouldn't have been drafted in such a low position. I think he's looking for Bruce to prove that he's going to do it, and I'm confident he's going to win this matchup. Let's wait and see! ”

The media began to hype up the news that Randy Foye had punctured the parallel No. 3 show.

Much to Bruce's annoyance, he wasn't interested in seeing his name in the newspapers. In fact, before Randy Foyer hyped the news, he was already swiping the entertainment media.

Ever since Ashley publicly admitted that she likes Bruce, there has been media teasing Lindsay Lohan. Because Lindsay Lohan has expressed something similar, and she has also collaborated with Bruce on the Billboard number one single.

"Both Twin Stars and Ashley are very pretending to be high-minded. They did whatever they wanted to sign Bruce's contract, and they turned down my song offer to Bruce on the grounds that they didn't think I was looking healthy enough. ”

"It's clearly jealousy, a fear that I'm having too much contact with Bruce. Ashley is a woman who has no confidence in herself, despite her glamorous appearance. ”

Lindsay Lohan frantically complained about Ashley in front of the media. And also stressed: "I will go to Bruce personally and he will make the right choice." ”

This makes the Hollywood press look forward to the follow-up plot of Bruce's return to Los Angeles from Texas more than the sports press.

But Li Zhen felt a headache, he didn't know why Lindsay Lohan suddenly ran out. Haven't you cut off contact with her and even blocked all her mobile phones?

Ashley gave him the answer over the phone: "She was driving a Mercedes sedan in West Hollywood last weekend and crashed into a van. Although she herself claimed that she had an accident to avoid the paparazzi. Police suspect that the accident was caused by her drunk driving, and she has recently been in the midst of a concentrated outbreak of negative news. She was in dire need of some extra news to shift the focus, so she approached us and wanted us to collaborate on a song with him. But we rejected her, and then she began to brush up on the scoundrels in the media. ”

Li Zhen was very annoyed by this, thinking that this woman really used me as a shield.

"If she bothers you, I'll help you deal with her." Ashley said forcefully on the other end of the phone, and reassured Li Zhen: "You just need to concentrate on the challenge of that black player." ”

Maybe it's Ashley's reason.

After Bruce hung up the phone, he only did ten push-ups, and as soon as sweat appeared on his forehead, he heard a voice of positive energy coming out of his head: Congratulations on .......

Damn, I miss you!!
