0218: [Quasi-elite player]
If what happened to Li Zhen's family was just a storm in a teapot.
Then Bruce Lee's counterattack to kill Adidas, killing the Wizards with key blocks and two magical three-pointers has undoubtedly set off a violent tsunami, and its wave of public opinion in the basketball circle is like Maddie scoring 13 points in 35 seconds last season.
Everyone was discussing or mimicking Bruce's last-minute performance.
Interestingly, both of them have to go thanks to Adi.
The publicity that Adi's team did before this game was too violent.
They spent all their resources promoting the game, so that's why the impact of public opinion has reached its first peak since the new season.
Adi suffered a dumb loss. Because they can't accuse Arenas of not being good enough, in fact, Arenas has completed 98 percent of his pre-game ramblings, scoring 58 points in the basketball mecca of Stamps and overshadowing Kobe Bryant. However, who would have thought that Bruce Lee, who was most despised by him before the game, would choke his fate at the last moment?
In the last fifty-five seconds, it was like Tyson ravaging a child.
From Arenas's own retelling, it can also be seen how confident Bruce was at that time, and he even predicted in advance where he would shoot from which position.
It's too arrogant.
It's like a fledgling soldier, single-handedly killing a battle-hardened general with fancy skills at the decisive moment.
Arenas used his fame to pave Bruce Lee's Cotai Strip.
As a result, Ms. Wang had to board a plane to China the next morning, and she had no idea that last night's crazy game would bring such huge commercial benefits. The marketing department of the Li Zhen brand made an assessment last night, and they believe that the game is worth at least $50 million.
Therefore, as the owner of the exclusive OEM, Anne Wang must hurry back to the factory to open the assembly line and make the most active preparations for the upcoming Christmas second sale.
Gilbert Arenas finally realized at noon the next day how positively those words he had said last night had on Bruce's business empire.
"So, I'm helping him tell a legendary story, and I'm the antagonist in that story, and I'm portraying him?"
Gilbert finally came to his senses.
However, it was already too late.
When Bruce became a hot topic on major sports channels and dominated the headlines of major popular media.
It was too late for him to regret it.
After this match, the media has listed Li Zhen as a quasi-elite player, and a quasi-elite player whose commercial influence is expected to reach superstar level. (On average, each team will have two to three elite-level players, above the starters and below the All-Stars.) )
And in California, Li Zhen was even recognized as a future All-Star. The Los Angeles press gave him unprecedented pomp as a reward for his bravery in defending Stamp last night as the army overwhelmed the border.
Now everyone knows that he is a ruthless character.
The voices that had been unable to resist jealousy and planned to launch a fierce attack on Li Zhen also began to subside automatically, after all, Arenas was in front of him...... Few in the league today can boast of scoring 58 points at Stamps.
The next afternoon, Slam Dunk magazine personally arrived at the Lakers training gym. They were very attentive to take the cover photos of Li Zhen and Kobe Bryant, who had just completed minor finger surgery.
"Slam Dunk" wanted to create the feeling that the Lakers were two stars side by side.
So, here's a photo of two people.
Because since Bryant joined Nike, he gradually got rid of the nickname of "Peter Pan" and gave himself the new name of "Black Mamba". So, during the filming, the staff even got a black fake snake wrapped around Kobe's body.
And Bruce led a snow-white, high-acting real fox.
It's a nice metaphor.
Kobe Bryant is as ferocious and vicious as a viper.
Bruce is as dexterous and cunning as a fox.
More and more voices in the City of Angels are leaning towards forming a 'Bruce Bryant' Purple and Gold Twin Gun Connection.
This made Andrew Bynum extremely unhappy, because not long ago, fans were still thinking about creating a new OK combination.
What made Bynum even more uncomfortable was that.
"Stop, yes, shake it and push your feet. Don't be afraid of defenders, with your speed and reach, you can eat opponents who are not as tall as you. Use your shoulders and forearms to open up space, pay attention to your movements, both aggressive and hidden, at this time the opponent is prone to fouls, this time especially test your control of the body, birthday and strength......"
After finishing filming, Kobe Bryant began special training for Li Zhen.
He unreservedly taught Li Zhen some offensive skills. He hopes that Li Zhen can take on a more important role in the coming month: what Li Zhen is very lacking right now is offensive ability. When Kobe Bryant is on the court, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a strong offensive ability. But with Bryant out of the game, he has lost a more relaxed environment, and he needs to take on more significant responsibilities on the outside.
"I hope this month will allow you to transform." Kobe Bryant encouraged Li Zhen more than once.
This greatly affected Bynum, who was training on the other side: he thought Kobe Bryant had completely leaned towards the rookie.
In fact, he also saw Phil Jackson's compliment on Bruce Lee on TV last night: "He is smart, hardworking, persistent, educated, intelligent and actionable." Live a healthy life, and don't have any bad habits.,Never accept dress-up girls who linger outside the gym......"
The Zen master is full of beautiful words.
This has Bynum worried about at least the next month of competition.
However, the thing that made him feel a little reassuring was that general manager Kupchak and vice president Jim Bass were both standing by him, and took the initiative to talk to him earlier today: We are all optimistic about you, and we think you can take on the central role in Kobe's absence.
And, Buss Jr. also promised: "We'll ask the coaching staff to give you more playing time, after all, you're our future." ”
Jim Bass and Kupchak are now completely inclined to Bynum the Shark. Even Jim went to his father's this morning to provoke: "Bruce Lee has too many entertainment cells, and he is entangled with too many female stars, which will make our team lose focus." ”
But it is clear that the shrewd and intelligent old Bass will not be swayed by such a shallow view.
He just said, "I know you're more supportive of Andrew Bynum, and I like him too." Bryant's next month out of injury is his chance, and he will need to prove that he has what it takes to control the game, and he hasn't shown a turnaround since joining last year. And Bruce has scored more than once this season. ”
The attitude of the elder Bass was evident that he encouraged competition.
The friction between the young players is good for the growth of the team, and he believes in Phil Jackson's ability to integrate, and... Andrew Bynum and Bruce are one on the inside and the other on the outside, and no matter how big the contradiction is, it is not much bigger.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his son would go to the coaching staff to put pressure. And gave Phil Jackson a death order: "In the games that Kobe Bryant is not around, we can sacrifice some records." But Bynum has to get more than 30 minutes per game, he's our future, and our future depends on what he can reach. ”
Phil Jackson was still happy that Bruce had passed a higher standard of fitness this morning, and Lee was expected to play 20 minutes in the game.
But now, Jim Bass is aggressively trying to increase Bynum's playing time to 30 minutes.
This makes the problem a little tricky.
