0229: [Ercao's body and name are destroyed]
The Toronto Raptors are the only NBA team that is not based in the United States. It is lonely in the north, and the attention is very thin, almost like a child brought up by a stepmother who does not love his father and mother.
In the early years, when Vince Carter was still around, it caused a basketball craze.
But now, after the team is handed over to Chris Posh. The representative of the 2003 super platinum generation did not deliver a good masterpiece.
Although there has been some improvement this season, it is currently in sixth place in the East. But it still didn't cause any splashes.
On the contrary, it was the arrival of Bruce Lee that inspired the enthusiasm of the local fans. The attendance in the arena has finally reached 90%.
Canadians are only interested in American culture and entertainment, so they are also interested in Li Zhen. After all, this guy has just stepped on two boats in New York, and the sweetheart princess Duff is still fighting a war of words with the wealthy socialite Hilton.
Moreover, his albums are also selling well in Canada.
In a sense, he's probably one of the top 10 NBA players in Canada.
A lot of them don't even know the name of the Italian who was drafted with the No. 1 pick in the draft this year, but Bruce Lee definitely impressed them.
Andrea Valliani's name is indeed difficult to spell. However, the 211-tall striker does have a lot to thank Bruce Lee.
As the champion, he has barely delivered 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists so far this season, which is quite inconsistent with his No. 1 pick. At least seven or eight players in this rookie have outperformed him.
However, before this, when everyone criticized Li Zhen for being a parallel trader, no one said that Baliani was a parallel trader.
That's the benefit of being in the middle of nowhere.
Baliani himself is also very responsible, he does not make a single noise in the media. He's just playing steadily.
If it weren't for Li Zhen's arrival, which made the media pull out the drama of the champion vs. Tanhua, he would have been forgotten by people.
And although the gimmick played by the media is the champion vs. Tanhua.
But in fact, Li Zhen's main opponent is TJ Ford, who was handpicked by Allen Iverson as the fastest point guard in the NBA.
Although there is an element of 'perfunctory praise' in this sentence, TJ Ford's ability to establish himself in the NBA with a height of 175 and play at an elite level is enough to prove his speed.
Li Zhen deliberately competed with him for two rounds. It was finally determined that TJ Ford's speed should be around 95, which is a little faster than his own 93. But it didn't come out of a notch.
TJ's attack ability is very strong, his speed and explosiveness are stronger than Li Zhen, and his agility, coordination, bounce, strength, and physical fitness are much better than Li Zhen. If he's taller and keeps that level of talent, he's at least an All-Star calibre.
But unfortunately, his stature limits his limits.
However, he still grabbed 19 points on Li Zhen's head.
On the contrary, Li Zhen also scored 18 points on his head, and the shooting rate exceeded 4 percent.
TJ's height is so short that it will be difficult for him to stop Lee Jin's offense on the defensive end. Lee Jin's rhythm and ability to control the ball made him always out of position.
If the scoring end is a mutual explosion, then in terms of assists, TJ Forde has undoubtedly lost a game. He only had eight assists in the game, to Lee's 13.
It's another super point guard-level single-game statistic.
However, the sad thing is that the Lakers lost this game.
The exhausted Lee Jin did what he could in the 26 minutes he played, and he performed blamelessly. But when Andrew Bynum was on the field at the same time as him, the incongruity was visible to the naked eye, and Bynum even refused to cover for Li Zhen, and his movement was always in the opposite direction.
This allowed the Raptors to seize the opportunity at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter, relying on Valliani's consecutive 3-pointers from the outside to open up the gap in one fell swoop.
In the end, he won 109:99 without danger.
After the game, major commentaries wrote: Champion Lang Baliani angrily slashed 22 points and 5 rebounds to defeat Bruce Lee.
This made Li Zhen a little unhappy, and he felt that his performance was no worse than that of Valliani.
And if I can play a little longer, maybe it will be reversed.
So after the game he was more active in training, and he couldn't wait to get his sweat out more. Because in the next week, the Los Angeles Lakers will play the Portland Trail Blazers twice, once at the Rose Garden Arena and once at Stamps.
Li Zhen is full of respect for Brandon Roy, and he prefers to regard Brandon as his biggest imaginary enemy than the champion Bariani. He's really looking forward to playing well against Roy.
At this time, the NBA's official announcement of the All-Star player shortlist also caused an uproar.
Li Zhen's name is impressively listed.
This caused the basketball media to blow up en masse, and they all felt that the NBA was messing around, and they thought it would be the biggest farce since the 2003 All-Star Game. Because Chinese fans will firmly send the yellow-skinned Li Zhen to the All-Star Game. And Li Zhen's performance was far worse than Yao Shu back then.
"This is stupid arrogance!!"
The elder Winter angrily denounced the Sports Illustrated report on the plane, in which the reporter used the words David Stern kneeling down to Asia. Criticized David Stern for his shameless flattery in order to promote the market.
They condescendingly judged the nomination, believing that Li Zhen was not worthy of the title of candidate.
"If Bruce were black-skinned, everyone would call him a rising star, or even a perfect magician. I swear those guys will. The elder Winter rarely gets angry: "Every team has three or four or more on the list, and Bruce is already the second best player on our team, so why can't he be on this list?" ”
"This is a form of perversion!!"
The more old Winter spoke, the angrier he became.
All members of the Lakers' coaching staff support him. Everyone thinks that Li Zhen is not viewed objectively.
To be honest, Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to this matter, he is a pragmatic doer. He has been actively training to make his sweat flow more, and sweat is the weapon that tramples his arrogant face under his feet. Li Zhen didn't want to sacrifice his roots to fight any war of words, it was all meaningless.
It's like when he was in high school in New York, everyone said he couldn't make the varsity team.
But he went in anyway.
Then, he went back to the best point guard position in the Ivy League, and then he went to the Pacific Division.
He has been ignored and ignored too much along the way.
But his steps have been moving forward.
Those who say he can't do it and that he can't do it have long since forgotten where he hid.
Li Zhen sometimes really wants to read two lines of poetry to these guys, if they can understand it.
Listen!
Er Cao's body and name are extinguished, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted!!
