Tim Duncan is undoubtedly a model of successful people in the NBA, who debuted at the peak and has been at the top ever since. If, there are no accidents, he will continue to be at the top.

His career has always maintained a straight line of high standards like his expression that has not changed for thousands of years.

But, tonight, he was in real trouble.

Even the shooter-turned-commentator Reggie Miller saw the problem: Duncan was uncomfortable in the three-second zone.

Then, Bill Wharton pointed out the most important thing: lose weight! Duncan has maintained his speed and agility through weight loss and shaping this past summer, making him more active.

However, Zach and Marc Gasol formed the Great Black and White Wall that began to take shape.

Playing in the NBA, it's hard not to believe in the fact that you are born to fight each other.

It's like, every time Yao Shu meets Howard, he can play excellent statistics, and every time he meets Carlos Boozer and Melte Oku, he will be beaten badly.

Because Tim Duncan's helpers are only characters like Mark Bonner and Oberto.

So, the full-size rookies that the Knicks stocked up on this summer quickly gained the upper hand.

This caught Popovich by surprise.

Although they always have an advantage through their experienced experience and tacit tactics.

But in retrospect, those advantages were washed away in just a round or two.

……

Honestly, if Tony Parker hadn't been so iron-clad in treating Li Zhen as an imaginary enemy, he might not have been so tragic...... His family will not be in strife.

On the pitch, he will gain more confidence.

After all, he was incredibly fast, and he turned like the wind.

But no one could figure out why he had to ram the muzzle of the gun.

In the first half, Li Zhen ignored him completely.

He devoted all his energy to promoting newcomers, helping them adapt to tactics with a majestic image, and even mercilessly drenched Yi Jianlian's scolding dogs on his head, and threw him to the bench in the next round.

At the beginning of the new season, Li Zhen showed a completely different look.

This made the CCTV commentators who broadcast this event unexpected, they originally thought that after Yi Jianlian joined New York, she would thrive under Li Zhen's care, and they would establish an extremely harmonious relationship.

However, he actually kicked Yi Jianlian back to the bench because of a shooting error.

This... It's too impersonal.

The CCTV commentators don't know how to round this matter to fans across the country.

Therefore, CCTV's sideline reporter also went to interview Li Zhen during the intermission, and he took the initiative to ask this question.

Li Zhen also told him calmly: "There are a lot of court habits that need to be changed, and his shots are too slow." He had to get his body to adjust to the NBA rhythm quickly, and he had no time to waste. ”

"On the pitch, that's the way it communicates. The reason I'll be stricter than him is... He can understand Chinese, while some of the other new players don't understand English very well. ”

Li Zhen gave a brief explanation.

This explanation convinced domestic fans, and even they believed that Yi Jianlian should have a more strict technical action to pick him, and only such a strict leader could make him grow faster.

In the second half, Yi Jianlian still got a chance to play.

Li Zhen didn't want to strangle him, but wanted to promote him.

However, Yi Jianlian didn't feel very good on the court tonight, his shots were more resolute and faster, but the hit rate was not on this side.

But Li Zhen still let him play for 6 minutes.

Then Eddie Griffin and Jordan Jr. were replaced, and the team went into quick attack mode.

The two sides fought for a while.

Then, Tony Parker turned on his 2-minute-long provocation.

He first flexed his muscles at Lee Jin after a beautiful breakthrough.

Then, after hitting a difficult three-point jumper, he waved his hands vigorously.

In the end, he successfully yelled at Li Zhen by assisting Michael Finley to dunk violently: You are just relying on Yao Shu!!

The Frenchman is still unhappy about the Olympics, and he thinks that if he had Yao Shu, he would definitely be able to do better than Li Zhen.

However, his repeated provocations finally provoked Li Zhen.

Originally, Li Zhen was angry with Deandre Jordan's defense, and he even criticized Jordan Jr. for not having a spring in his head: Why do others make a pretend shooting move, and you jump along?

Jordan Jr. didn't contribute anything on the defensive end after he came on the court, blinding his physical gifts.

Although he showed athleticism on the offensive end that was extremely inconsistent with his size, he made two aerial relays.

However, Li Zhen still prefers to contribute on the defensive end.

Because, he has the potential to become a top defensive center.

Therefore, I am very attentive to him and very angry.

When Li Zhen, who was angry, was found fault with the French one after another, he finally couldn't hold it back.

Then, the San Antonio home crowd became the first to see how terrifying Lee Zhen was when he had an 80 percent talent fusion.

Li Zhen first cut through Tony Parker's defense with a wonderful change of direction at the top of the three-point arc, and then stepped into the free throw line as light as a swallow, and when Michael Finley's vicious defense came up, Li Zhen easily spun like a swallow's feather crossing a light ripple on the water.

The heroic Finley didn't even have time to turn back, Li Zhen had already stopped jumping behind him, and the whole action was smooth and full of elegant beauty.

The basketball was sent out softly by Li Zhen, and at the position of one step within the free throw line, Li Zhen's shooting was not only more standard than the textbook, but also had a touch of unique charm than the textbook.

The basketball is in a perfect arc...... Swish!

The white waves are rolling.

Precise drop into the basket.

After Li Zhen scored, he turned around and shook his head at Tony Parker disdainfully.

The close-up accurately captures Li Zhen's demeanor, which is clearly saying: Compared with me, are you worthy?

Reggie Miller looked at the scene as if he had been struck by lightning.

Why did Bruce Lee's handsome face have Michael Jordan's 'I like you and can't beat me' expression?

Based on Li Zhen's performance in this game, Reggie Miller is becoming more and more certain that Li Zhen is completely on the old path of Michael Jordan dominating the league. Obviously, a season ago, he was still gentle and elegant.

At the same time, Lee Jin has been extremely aggressive in capturing Tony Parker.

He followed Parker's pace very quickly and formed a full-court pressure on him.

After the talent fusion increased to 80%, Li Zhen had a deeper feeling for defense, and added a variety of experiences in the subtleties.

Although it is still not a top defender, it is definitely at the top level among point guards. Especially against this speed-flow guard, he can even be said to be the first in the league.

Because, in itself, his speed is extremely fast, and his explosiveness is the best in the league.

So, in the one-on-one, Tony Parker only felt uncomfortable everywhere, and he stumbled to bring the ball to the frontcourt.

It was not easy to get a little space through Duncan's cover, but Li Zhen followed up later.

His rhythm is chopped.

Then the throwing after the breakthrough was outrageously striking iron under the interference of Li Zhen.

When Lee Zhen put all his energy into defense, Tony Parker was very, very uncomfortable.

Looking back, he tried to replicate Lee Jin's defense against him.

But... Whether it is talent, defensive experience, or anticipation of opponents, the French are far from the same.

Although he tried his best, he didn't interfere much with Li Zhen, although it also affected Li Zhen's rhythm. But when Li Zhen went deep into the paint area, he still hit the basketball with a steady throw.

This fully shows that Li Zhen has the upper hand in a one-on-one offensive and defensive duel.

"Bruce Lee is fully on the path of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, who are both keen to destroy opponents on both ends of the floor. Although, Bruce's offensive and defensive standards are still far from the top two. ”

"But, he's a point guard."

"Damn, he's a point guard. That's the biggest horror, can you imagine Magic Johnson being able to go head-to-head with people on both ends of the floor like Michael Jordan at the same time? ”

Reggie Miller felt his scalp tingle more and more.

He felt that the young people of today were really too fierce.

Last night he was still screaming for Derrick Rose, the first Ko champion, and now he was trembling for Li Zhen again.

"The next five to ten years will definitely be the golden age of the NBA." He had already made such a prediction. Originally, he felt that as the Pan 96 Golden Generation gradually withdrew from the center stage, the alliance became boring.

But now, he sees more and more strong newcomers rising, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and other quasi-Mesozoic generations are gearing up to take over the stage, followed by Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and other fierce newcomers to seize power.

On top of that, Bruce Lee's first game of the new season showed the way Jordan dominated the league back then.

Damn！

This alliance is getting more and more interesting.

Reggie Miller and Bill Wharton in the commentary box began to get excited.

However, Popovich's eyebrows grew more and more nervous.

The Knicks' vigorous and flawed performance tonight was a huge headache for him, and he realized for the first time that the Spurs had become a decaying and aging building that would soon be razed to the ground.

Because... The Knicks weren't a mature team tonight, and they made too many low-level turnovers. But even so, Li Zhen still led them to bite the score tightly.

And, Bruce hasn't given it his all in the first three quarters.

He slipped Tony Parker's offensive rhythm again and threw the increasingly up-and-coming Tony Parker to the bench after finishing with a turnaround layup in the next round.

He felt that his work in the next two or three minutes should be to make Tony Parker give up competing with Li Zhen, and he must make him soberly understand: You can't be Bruce's opponent in your life, stop being delusional.

Although it is cruel, this is the initiation that allowed Tony Parker's career to develop in a healthy and orderly manner.

……

After Tony Parker went off the court, the Spurs cleared the field and tried to defend as offense.

But at this time, the Knicks threw the Black and White Great Wall onto the court, and also threw Yi Jianlian and Francisco up, which was purely a four-tower tactic.

In the face of absolute height, Spurs' tactics once again fell into passivity.

And, once again, Duncan was disrupted.

Although Ginobili was as strange as ever, he kept flashing in the huge crowd, and wherever the demon knife went, it was seriously damaged.

However, the Knicks still bit the score and continued to take the lead at a slow pace.

Popovich was blinded.

In the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, Tim Duncan injured his finger in a scrum.

It was then that Popovich made his decision.

He let Duncan go off the field and replaced the main team by the way.

At this point, Spurs are only 3 points behind.

It's the kind of thing that only San Antonio can do.

Because, they don't care about the regular season record, and will take the initiative to give the main players a rotation.

Most importantly, Popovich realized that even a win in this game would be a narrow victory, and there was no need to be so tense in the first game of the tournament. All the players are not yet back to their peak fitness, and the NBA has the most injuries every season when players are injured in the first month or two.

The old silver coin doesn't want to get into the risk. At the same time, he also believes that the Knicks should let other teams go up to the plate and exploit their weaknesses. There is no need for the Spurs to try their example and show the other players.

As for the matter of national live broadcasting, except for Tony Parker, the Spurs don't take it seriously, they are pragmatists.

As a result, this game, which was supposed to be a pinnacle showdown, entered garbage time like this.

The Knicks, on their part, were not relenting.

Li Zhen and Stephen Marbury played at the same time to start the freshman training mode.

There's nothing like playing to improve the experience of a new player.

Therefore, people easily saw that Marc Gasol was a back-to-back single in the penalty area.

Yi Jianlian's repeated jump shots after blocking and dismantling in the high post.

Gallinari's three points after running.

And... Deandre, Jordan and Dragic have honed their experience on the court.

Interestingly, even if the Spurs replaced all the main players, the Knicks did not take a big lead.

Still scorching.

This made Popovich very depressed: why is this team super god and super ghost.

"This is not weak when it is strong, it is not strong when it is weak!!"

Reggie Miller laughed and cried.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Li Zhen finally took over the game, he first stole the basketball directly from the rookie George Hill, and then rushed into the restricted area to score a layup.

Then he teamed up with Gasol to suppress Bonner's layup.

Finally, Gallinari hit a three-point shot.

That's the complete seal of victory.

123:119。

The Knicks won without danger.

After the game, it was time for Isaiah Thomas to pretend: "We weren't going to win at all, but it still won. How so? Better than nothing. ”

The king was forced to have a posture of 'why did we win again'.

He then also answered questions from reporters asking him how he saw Bruce acting more and more like Michael Jordan on the court.

"Michael Jordan? You're putting gold on his face, when will he be able to average a dozen assists per game? Bruce is a point guard, and there is no comparison at all. ”

He denied the issue.

But it seems that a consensus is already forming.

Li Zhen did not accept an interview after the game, and left in a hurry after entering the locker room.

He will travel to Texas ahead of the team.

Because, Scarlett is already waiting for him there.

And at this time, he didn't know that he was starting the biggest off-court turmoil in the history of his life.
