The Purple and Gold's first game after Kobe Bryant's injury came soon after, and they showed up at Stamp Arena as the visiting team.

Although the Clippers were on home turf in this local derby, it was clear that the people cheering on Bruce far outnumbered the fans cheering on the Clippers: this is a very realistic situation in Los Angeles, and the Clippers are even second to the WNBA Sparks in the City of Angels.

Before the start of this game, players from both sides gave their blessings to Shaun Livingston.

Livingston suffered what was probably the worst injury in the NBA at home last week, and the injury was even classified as restricted. He broke his knee on an unguarded layup, and his entire foot was flipped.

Now there is even a risk of amputation.

The news sent a storm across the league into the air.

Lakers fans have asked the Lakers not to overuse Bruce Lee on various occasions, and hardcore Lakers fans and famous rapper Snoop Dog even publicly shouted: If the Lakers don't use Bruce well, he will put all Lakers coaches into a popular Diss song in the United States.

However, in the game against the Clippers. The rap boss who kept saying that he wanted to DISS the Lakers coaching staff joined the crowd of Lakers fans when the team was in a desperate situation, and he shouted in the fourth quarter: Bruce! Bruce！ Bruce！！

Because at this time, the Lakers have been made to cry without tears by the Clippers. Although the old captain Elton Brand is not tall enough, the little shark who has worked his back to make it lose his mind, and his height of more than seven feet is completely reduced to an ATM in the restricted area.

Bynum played a few minutes in the first half, and his high-and-low combination with Lamar Odom and Luke Wharton gave Lakers fans some glimmers of hope.

But after entering the second half of the third quarter, he inexplicably felt that he could do it. He's going to get away from Odom and Luke Wharton, and he's going to play superstar basketball. So, Captain Elton killed the killer and taught him how to be a man with skillful skills.

In addition, Luke Wharton was also quite uncomfortable by Margety. As for Lamar, he was intermittently distracted again.

This three-high lineup is about to fall apart.

Lakers fans started chanting Bruce's name... With Li Zhen's heroic performance in previous games, more and more Lakers fans regard him as the most reassuring player after Kobe.

Although he is still a rookie, everyone thinks that as long as he plays, he can stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the decline.

Even in this game, Bruce didn't play very well. With Bryant out of the court, all of the Clippers' defensive attention was focused on Lee Jin, making his running less relaxed and his passing threat declining.

However, since he gained a lot from the Wizards' fallen three real people and dunk king Mason in the last game, he still has some advantages when facing the old cat Mobley and the alien Sam Kassel.

In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Zen master finally couldn't resist the surging public opinion.

He let Li Zhen go into battle.

And bring his elite team: Vujasic, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown.

Two foreign mercenaries, and the hardcore dynasty Mahan: brainless and unhappy.

With Kobe Bryant injured, the split in the Lakers' locker room has become even more apparent. It is visible to the naked eye divided into two camps, Andrew Bynum, Smash Parker, Lamar Odom, Luke Wharton, Jordan Farmar and these people are in one camp.

These people all think that their interests have been damaged because of Li Zhen's arrival. Needless to say, Jordan Farmar and Smash Parker are two direct competitors, and Andrew Bynum's jealousy is also well known. The reason why Odom and Luke Wharton don't interact with Li Zhen is also because their tactical low post is rapidly declining, these two are forwards with strategy and organizational attributes, and before Li Zhen arrived, they had a very close interaction with Kobe Bryant, and the point guard was directly reduced to chicken ribs.

However, with the arrival of the more talented Lee Jin, their ball possession has visibly declined.

So, naturally, they formed an alliance with Bynum.

Frankly speaking, they played well in the first half of this game, withstanding the Clippers who were bound to win. also helped Li Zhen's lineup fill in some holes.

But in the second half, I still couldn't hold it for various reasons.

So, Li Zhen led his team to appear again in the call of the fans.

"This guy can't handle this situation either. He will immediately disgrace those who call out his name. ”

Smash Parker swore on the bench.

Bynum nodded his head as the other players looked at the pitch with a joke.

However, Li Zhen disappointed him again.

The aging Mobley stepped forward to defend Li Zhen, and Li Zhen unscrewed his defense with just a quick change of direction, invading the three-point line like lightning. And then... He hit the first pullup jump shot of the game. (Prior to that, he made 1-of-5 shooting.) ）

This makes the Clippers' defense a huge challenge.

Their previous defensive strategy was to shrink the box to prevent Li Zhen from invading quickly.

But as he hit a jumper from the high post, all the chemistry that had been constructed was pushed down.

When Margeti's shot was interfered with outside the three-point line by Rademanovic and slid out of the basket, it was grabbed by Kwame Brown.

Li Zhen took the pass and instigated a thunderous lightning fast attack.

At this point... The Clippers' heavy forces are already somewhat out of tune. Their defensive positions are becoming more and more loose, and Li Zhen's ability to capture offensive opportunities in the chaos can be called the best in the world.

He made a pick-and-roll with Eddie Griffin at the top of the three-point arc, and a quick in-step in-step caught Vujacic running out of space on the left side, and his basketball was in Sasha's hands the next second.

Vujacic comfortably received the basketball, as he did on the training ground, and opened his hand to shoot...... Swish!

3 points in the account.

Bruce scored five points in a row after coming on the court, and the score was tied in an instant.

The cheers in the arena endured, and Bruce was once again in the aftermath of all Lakers fans.

This made Bynum and the others very unhappy.

"They took advantage of us. If it weren't for the exhaustion of the Clippers who dragged them into the mud, they wouldn't have gotten so many offensive opportunities. ”

Bynum complained to the old coach Winter very angrily.

Old Winter smiled, but said nothing.

Bynum and the others felt more and more that they were at a loss.

Why was the foundation of his hard work picked by Li Zhen and others?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

However, on the court, there was a devastating trend, and Li Zhen led the running to collapse the dying Clippers directly... The dense netting of thunder and fire made it impossible for them to defend against their physical strength, Bruce was too cunning, his passes were fast, accurate and ruthless, and two European mercenaries completed the transformation of a marksman under him. And then there's Kwame and Eddie Griffin, who both smash into the basketball.

plus Li Zhen, who is becoming more and more elusive.

Can't play anymore.

Coach Mike Dunleavy had no choice but to raise the white flag with two minutes left in the game.

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of Kobe's absence to regain lost ground, but... Bruce is too a thief.

"I can responsibly say that he is getting stronger and stronger." Old cat Mobley maintained a fair opinion after the game: "He's at least thirty percent better than when we first met. His physicality has increased dramatically under NBA-level training. The commentators, who think he is worthless, should put away their arrogance. He had 10 points and 12 assists tonight, which is already the level of a quasi-first-class point guard. ”

The praise of the counterpoint is more authoritative than any expert commentary.

In fact, experts are no longer able to influence public opinion as much as they once did.

Because after the introduction of Nike's investment in the Li Zhen brand, they already have more resources to promote. When Bruce Lee's video highlights can be seen everywhere on the Internet, when the top five balls repeatedly appear his exquisite passes and arrogant strikes. Those 'Bruce Lee is good for nothing' rhetoric has long been out of the market.

Still, the reluctant critics found new jobs. They began to judge Lee Jin for never beating Brandon Roy to become the best rookie.

Voices about Lee Jin going to be the Rookie of the Year of the new season are coming from Los Angeles, and happy Lakers fans certainly hope that their team's new favorite will win Rookie of the Year.

However, this was originally a small discussion.

But when the critics satirize it, it immediately becomes an all-encompassing contrast.

Brandon Roy, who averages 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, is leading the Trail Blazers out of the reputation of "Portland Prison", although the record is not as good as the Lakers. But he does have a chance to become the second super rookie since LeBron James to score 20+5+5 in his rookie season.

Actually, after he played two regular season games. The media can't wait to put the 'Rookie of the Year' hat on the senior at the University of Washington.

At that time, Bruce Lee was also regarded as a parallel product by the mainstream media in the basketball circle, and it was ironic that he would go to Hollywood before being bought out by the Lakers in the middle of the season.

At that time, now, just over a third of the season. Bruce Lee's average of 7.6 points, 8.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game has long established himself in the NBA, and has also become second only to Kobe Bryant in the hearts of Lakers fans.

Those sarcasm can no longer be effective, and even retort against those who speak out against them.

Therefore, they can only compare Li Zhen with Brandon Roy, and then have a strong sense of psychological superiority.

However, when the data is completely spread out.

People turned out to find that Bruce Lee didn't seem to lose too much.

Especially in assists, he actually ranked sixth in the league? Ahead of him are Steve Nash with 11.6 per game, Deron Williams with 10.2 per game, Jason Kidd with 9.6, Chris Paul with 9.2 and T.J. Ford with 9.0.

The top four are the best four point guards in the league today, and TJ Ford is also the sole power of the Raptors, and they average at least twice as much playing time per game as Li Zhen. In terms of efficiency, Li Zhen's assist rate per unit of time ranked first.

Those critics are undoubtedly shooting themselves in the foot.

They also began to be sarcastic about this matter before, but they didn't expect that when the data was compared, although Li Zhen was a little inferior, the gap was not as big as they described. And, he's starting to secure a spot in this year's Rookie of the Year team.

When the sports media began to compete with Li Zhen for the best rookie, the entertainment media finally revealed the relationship.

Hillary Duff took the initiative to show off the red rope on her wrist when she appeared at the opening ceremony of "Gold Girl", and told the media in a boastful tone: "This was given to me by Bruce's mother." ”

This instantly detonated attention.

When the reporter's questions flooded her, she finally half-admitted: "We are all preparing for the first date." ”

Wow!

Super big news.

Public opinion in California is boiling.

Has Bruce Lee, the rising star of the Lakers and a superstar in the music world, finally become famous and spend the boudoir of Disney's sweetheart princess?
