0151: [Two more rounds]
The Lakers' Staples Arena is always star-studded on game days.
It's just that... What people didn't expect was that such a preseason game would attract many stars to watch the game.
Except that the unchanging director Nicholson has always sat in his exclusive place. ESPN's camera also shines on Big Madonna, a superstar who has been inextricably linked to the NBA on a gradual retirement stage, appearing more than once in Scott Pippen's off-court anecdotes and once being written into his autobiography by Dennis Rodman.
Female stars in the American entertainment industry have always liked to find celebrities in the sports world, and in addition to football stars, NBA stars are their second largest target group. After all, these guys are strong, golden, and... They don't look very smart, and they can meet both physical and material needs. If you meet a star, you can also increase your exposure.
However, of course, no one doubted that Madonna, who was at the level of grandma, would go after Bruce. She has been declaring in the media lately: "I really like Bruce's talent, he has the opportunity to become a global singer, he has all the pop potential." I really hope to work with him on music. ”
But the news didn't cause ripples, and the entertainment media was very realistic, so they wouldn't leave the page to the old aunt who just wanted to work with blues music.
What they have been paying close attention to these days is the verbal battle between Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Olsen, which is very much a scene of two women fighting for a husband.
And tonight they all came to the sidelines.
In addition, Ashley Olsen also called twin sisters Mary and Megan Fox.
The sheer roster makes Lindsay Lohan look weak, but no one doubts her prowess.
"For a woman who is used to drunk driving, there is nothing she can't do."
ESPN's commentator McBrin teased Lindsay Lohan before the game began, and when he talked to another basketball commentator, Reggie Miller, he was very sure: "With Bruce's physicality, I even doubt that Lindsay Lohan can pin him to the ground and rub him up." ”
Forehead....
This made Reggie Miller feel the bad taste of the veteran commentator.
They quickly brought the conversation back to the game and made it clear: "Tonight's game is not just a simple preseason game, there has been a lot of talk about Bruce's draft pick since June 25th, and Randy Voyer's pre-game shouting has left Bruce Lee with no choice but to face it." ”
"If he can't stand the challenge from the 15th pick. The Lakers fans crammed into the arena were sure to make him feel like winter was coming. ”
Speaking of this, Reggie Miller spread his palms: "And the momentum he has accumulated now will also become nourishment for Randy Foye, and Randy will step on his shoulders to become the most influential player in this rookie." That's why Foye shouted so hard before the game, the NBA is a commercial league with all sorts of hype and gimmicks. ”
"However, the fair thing is that everything will speak with strength!"
Reggie Miller's speech qualitatively defined the game.
As he said, the more important thing about this game now is the battle for Bruce Lee's name.
If he withstands the challenge from Randy Foye, he will be accepted and even sought after by all the spectators and all Lakers fans.
And if he is eaten alive by Randy Foye, his NBA journey will be incredibly difficult before the regular season officially begins.
You may even leave the NBA stage early to become a best-selling singer.
……
The time came to half past seven in the evening at Western Time.
The competition has officially begun.
The head coaches of both sides have tacit understanding to send the two parties involved in the turmoil to the starters.
The Lakers, on their side, paired Bruce with a new lineup of Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Eddie Griffin, and Kwame Brown.
The Timberwolves also have big brother Kevin Garnett in the driver's seat, along with Ricky Davis, Hassell and Matt Blunt. That's pretty much the strongest lineup in Minnesota.
When the players from both sides took to the court, ESPN's cameras were immediately focused on Randy Foye and Bruce Lee. Instead of superstars Kevin Garnett or Kobe Bryant, it's clear that the protagonists of this preseason game are two rookies.
Randy Ferye walked onto the court with a rebellious face, he deliberately approached Bruce's side, and let out a cruel word: "It's time to tear down your false mask." You're nothing more than a macaron bread with nothing to show for it, and you're not vulnerable at all. ”
ESPN's cameras clearly captured the whole process of his harsh words.
At this time, Bruce smiled.
The audience could clearly tell from his smile that he was 'disapproving' and 'contemptuous'.
"I didn't take you seriously at all, you just looked fierce."
Bruce is so eloquent that TV viewers can easily read his content through lip sync.
This surprised Reggie Miller in the studio: "Bruce is so confident? ”
In the minds of Reggie Miller and the vast majority of the audience, they thought Randy Foye was superior.
But now, Bruce turned out to be dismissive of him.
Backbite!
The referee blows the whistle.
Kwame Brown jumped at the same time as Blunt.
But... Syllable!
Kwame Brown slapped the basketball at Bruce from half a palm's distance.
Watching the basketball gallop in, Randy Foye immediately tried to make an early steal. But... Shout!
A wind galloped away, and the yellow figure in front of him flickered, and Bruce was already in front of him, easily controlling the basketball.
Then, Li Zhen didn't stop at all, he rushed forward quickly and sharply, and Randy Foye hurriedly pursued.
But... It's not a little bit or two that is slow.
When he finally got to the three-point line, Bruce was already in the middle of the chaos, and when he faced Kevin Garnett like an octopus, he suddenly came to a halt and took advantage of Kevin Garnett's big stride to the defense...... Bang!
Wealth and danger are sought!
The basketball pierced through the crotch sharply, and the wolf king's defense completely collapsed. Timberwolves foul Eddie Griffin followed up quickly from the left side, grabbing the basketball and volleying into the air...... Rumble!
The one-handed slash instantly ignited the enthusiasm of Staples Arena.
The two newcomers got off to a good start in Los Angeles with a beautiful cross-cutting combination.
When the DJ shouted Eddie Griffin's name, ESPN's ball commentator McBlin exclaimed: "Bruce's passing ability is really strong." He was able to give Kevin Garnett a crotch piercing, which is a move that top point guards like Jason Kidd and Stephen Nash dare not try easily. ”
"It can be seen how strong his ability to control timing and space is."
McBrin is full of praise for Bruce Lee.
"It's something he's already capable of. Now he needs to prove that he can contain Randy Foye. Randy Foye has averaged 12.5 points per game in his last six games, ranking second among all rookies. ”
Reggie Miller reminded from the side.
But it seems that Li Zhen is not worried at all.
He even stood outside the three-point line with a smile on his face, waiting for Randy Foye's arrival.
Since the day before yesterday, he has been poring over the video of Randy Foye's fight.
The answer is: Randy Foye is not at the same level as himself at all.
In fact, when he was in Orlando training camp before the draft, Li Zhen did not fall into the disadvantage, he was only knocked over twice because of lack of strength, (including a malicious foul by Redick).
Now, his talents have improved in all aspects.
Still afraid of Randy Foye?
When Randy Fuye saw the smile on Li Zhen's face, he not only didn't take it seriously, but also snorted contemptuously: pretending to be a gesture.
Immediately, he quickly came up, and after leaning on Li Zhen's body, he immediately turned his back and exerted his strength. He wants to use his back to single, one by one, to push Lee Zhen from the three-point line to the free throw line, and he wants to use this humiliating style of play to show the world how strong Randy Foye is and how weak Bruce Lee is.
After four years of playing in college, he does have a thicker body, and he has a lot of strength. Therefore, the first impact made Li Zhen take a step backwards.
This caused an uproar of disappointment from the spectators on the sidelines.
However, the smile on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth was even stronger.
This impact was deliberately created by him, in order to let the positive energy find out the bottom of Randy Ferye's in the impact: while the positive energy was not yet powered, he had to do some 'data reading' work.
Randy Foye is indeed the kind of player whose 'explicit talent' is far stronger than 'implicit talent'.
His talents are 80 for strength, 68 for speed, 66 for explosiveness, 60 for coordination, 61 for flexibility, 55 for agility, 79 for stamina, and 76 for bounce.
This is also in line with the characteristics he has shown in previous games: a strong shooter-type two-way defender with mediocre playmaking. Three-point level is on the high side, athleticism is average, rarely breaks through, rebounding is terrible, and the defensive end is neither high enough nor fast enough.
So, when he continued to try to hit closely, Li Zhen adopted a dodge-style defense. He just tangled with him with open arms, didn't reach out and grab the ball as a way to interfere with his rhythm, and didn't make any contact with him head-on.
It gave Randy Foye a sense of power and nowhere to go.
He can only turn from his back to the front, he intends to rush inward hard, clean the defense, make a quick stop, jump shot! Solve problems with long-range shots that you do best.
However, the moment he turned around, Li Zhen suddenly stepped forward, and he cried around Randy Ferye alertly, not giving Randy Ferye any room to start at all.
By this point, Bruce had understood that he had advantages in speed, flexibility, and agility, so why not expand his strengths?
And Randy Foye was in a dilemma in an instant, if he forced his way forward at this time, it would definitely be an offensive foul, and Bruce, the bastard, had already put all his upper body up.
Now the only option for him is to pass the ball, or stop the ball and turn his back to squeeze Li Zhen away, and then force a shot.
He didn't hesitate.
Quickly turned, but at the same time as he stopped the ball and turned...... Syllable!
He felt his hands go numb, and the basketball fell out of control in an instant.
At this time, Li Zhen suddenly went around to his side, and when he was scrambling to pick up the ball, Li Zhen had already slapped the basketball to the front court and quickly chased after it.
The steal instantly detonated the Staples Arena, and cheers poured out from all sides of the arena like a tidal wave.
It was a surprise after disappointment.
You know, five seconds ago, Lakers fans were still sighing in disappointment that Bruce was easily knocked away by Randy Foye.
Right now... Bruce had already stolen Randy Foye's basketball and was gone.
And, far away from Randy Foye, he rushed to the front court and scored a layup as if no one was around.
This has put Lakers fans in an indescribable state of joy, and they love this kind of counter-killing.
And that's when Bruce made a surprising move.
He held out two fingers to Randy Foye, who came to serve: "Two rounds left." ”
Wow!!
The screams and cheers of the scene instantly set off a climax, like a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean.
The vast majority of fans have seen Randy Foye's hysterical rant on TV before the game, claiming that he could take out Bruce in three rounds and let the world know who the real third pick is.
And now, a round has passed.
Bruce, like a boxer, gave him a hard blow.
All passions were ignited by Bruce's tough reply.
Bruce is indeed an extraordinary rookie!
Hardcore Lakers fans and Hollywood director Nicholson even whistled.
Bruce looks like a handsome Hollywood kid, but he didn't expect to be so tough.
