0535: [The Cavaliers don't win, I'll swallow this basketball on the spot]
O.J. Mayo!!
The name is not unfamiliar at all.
Even... When Li Zhen was still playing at Stanford, he was already famous.
If the prestige of a high school student is used as a ranking, LeBron James's sideways ranking first since the new century, and OJ Mayo is a well-deserved second.
Moreover, O.J. Mayo is also from Ohio, and he won the Ohio Basketball Man Twice, when he was still in high school.
At that time, everyone called him the next Chosen One. Everyone said of him: "Wade's lightning speed, James' strong body, Kobe Bryant's dexterity, Nash's passing, Iverson's breakaway".
And he himself is also very good at packaging himself, and he has had a documentary team that has followed him since high school.
When he went to the University of Southern California, the behavior intensified.
Of course, the problem with his reputation is not how much money he received in violation of regulations, but because his height has been stuck in high school, and the barefoot height detected in the recent Orlando gymnasium is only 191.
This has greatly affected his market, and the NBA has a low tolerance for a barefoot shooting guard with a height of 191.
Moreover, his university resume was not perfect, and he was eliminated in the round of 64 by another top pick, Michael Beasley.
Add to that the stats that he has more turnovers than assists at the point guard position.
He's been out of the race for the top pick early: even though back in 2006, basketball pundits were telling the story that he was the future NBA top pick.
But the world is so impermanent and cruel.
Now, people are more sought after by Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley. Even Russell Westbrook, who recently signed Li Zhen's father as an agent.
O.J. Mayo urgently needs to do something to salvage his rundown.
So, he turned his gun on Li Zhen: Now that attacking Bruce Lee has become politically correct, there is no reason why he should not take advantage of this popularity.
In an interview with Ohio media reports, he both denied that he was a Kobe fan and harshly ridiculed Li Zhen.
In this interview, he disparaged Li Zhen for nothing.
All the text exudes a kind of disdain and high-mindedness: if I had entered the league in '06, I would have achieved more than he is now. All he's got is luck, he's got good teammates and he's always looked after from God. True strength, he doesn't even deserve an All-Star.
This statement fits in well with the recent buzz in Ohio, and Slam Dunk magazine has gone to great lengths to get it out there.
"Lawless!"
Li Zhen raised his eyelids coldly and wrote down the name OJ Mayo.
He could tolerate Professor Lee making fun of him and using him as a stepping stone for Westbrook.
But that doesn't mean he can tolerate OJ Mayo.
Westbrook is his player and endorses his brand.
What kind of thing is OJ Mayo!
……
……
For Cleveland, a small city with no sense of existence, basketball has become their faith, and LeBron James is their deserved king.
So, their fanaticism in this matter is incomprehensible.
After Knicks checked into the hotel, someone was outside that night, playing and singing, making a lot of noise.
The Knicks had to change hotels overnight to get more rest.
What's even more unbelievable is that the local TV station actually scrolled the information of the matchup between the two teams, and each channel had basketball experts in a serious analysis, discussing how the Cavaliers quickly defeated the Knicks 4:0.
By the way, a mockery of the depraved problem players in New York, and how Bruce is making a name for himself and not living up to his name.
There's an eerie black humor that pervades the city.
This is very different from New York.
New York is a relaxed and inclusive mentality, showing the calmness and pride of the world's largest metropolis at all times.
Even in the entire metropolitan area, basketball only accounts for a small part of it. Football, baseball, and even ice hockey leagues have a lot of influence, not to mention other colorful entertainment life.
"I'm really worried that they won't be able to accept the fact that they are sweeping."
Li Zhen even told Stephen Marbury next to him worriedly on the way to the quick loan center.
This made Marbury hesitate a little, he turned his head to look at Li Zhen, he was surprised: I can't believe that this kind of words actually came out of your mouth. Shouldn't that be a line from Isaiah Thomas?
At this time, no one in the Knicks knew that Li Zhen's strength had become stronger again, and his physical talent had increased by 4 points.
In a sense...... Li Zhen's physical talent at this time can even rank in the top five of the Knicks.
After all, these guys are fat, old, and weak, and there are very few who can really fight the whole audience...... However, there are many people and many generals, and they are not worried about any war of attrition.
……
Two hours before the Knicks' team bus drove into the Quickloan Center arena.
LeBron James had already arrived at home early, he shot early in practice, and he felt good tonight, very smooth, even very moist.
He had a hunch that tonight would be a harvest festival.
In fact, from the end of the last game, his mood became cheerful.
The scene where Bruce is finally lifted down has become a favorite scene for the people of Cleveland, and the basketball pundits are also chattering about the Cavaliers' correct tactics, and everything is showing that the Cavaliers are in control.
Although Cavaliers head coach Isaiah Thomas has been there to go crazy with his verbal cannons, saying that the Knicks' 4-0 sweep has become an established fact.
But his remarks were not accepted and even turned into an arrogant joke.
According to the security guard at Madison Garden, Bruce took two socialites into an ambulance an hour after being helped down, and shooting coach Alan Houston said he was exhausted in the middle of the night.
It's all a joke!
The ugly duckling will never be a white swan.
How could the future belong to Bruce Lee?
Swish!
Another three-point shot put LeBron James in a good mood.
He even began to dream of an epic reversal of the Knicks and a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals to defeat the Boston Big Three.
"Okay, okay. The King's Throne has been toyed with for too long, so tonight, put an end to this ridiculous prank. ”
LeBron James muttered to himself, then looked at the roof of the Quick-Loan Center arena.
It's time to hang a championship flag on it!
……
Zach Randolph ate a burger in the locker room, and although he was much stronger, his love of junk food has not changed.
"Bruce, I'll burn you more calories tonight."
Randolph told Li Zhen.
Prior to this, Swift and Shelton Williams both told Li Zhen that they would stand up more for him tonight.
Everyone is worried about Li Zhen's physical fitness.
It has become an open issue.
Eddie Griffin has also been gearing up for a long time, and he even gave up playing the saxophone before the game, and instead discussed with the coaching staff how to share more of the burden for Li Zhen on the wing. "I'm going to have to make the Cavaliers' flanking run flanked in vain."
The entire Knicks team is planning a way out for Lee Jin's physical fitness, and everyone wants to take on more for Lee Jin.
This strange psychology spreads and radiates to the psychology of every player, forming an indestructible unity.
It's hard to imagine.
A head coach who only knows how to brag, a bunch of players who haven't been proven on other teams, and a couple of NBA famous thorns...... It is a team of selfless dedication.
And in fact, when everyone is actively working hard to solve Li Zhen's physical fitness problem. Li Zhen is also full of plans to surprise his teammates, letting them know how amazing help Bruce can bring to them with increased physical fitness and improved coordination!
……
Compared to the Knicks players, everyone is secretly working hard in their hearts.
The home team's dressing room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and their confidence had already been swaying with the singing outside the stadium.
"If we don't win tonight, we can just die."
Vallejo spoke exaggerated words in the middle of the dressing room, in his characteristic Brazilian tone.
It caused most of the locker room to laugh.
McBrawn didn't hold back his smile either, and he was very happy to have this happening.
"This is a God-given opportunity to end the Knicks' winning streak and put on a 4-2 comeback."
"There's no reason for us to miss out."
"Tonight, we're going to start with a combined attack on Bruce Lee."
"Anthony Parker, Delonte West, you both have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders, and you have to keep your eyes on Bruce Lee every second after you come on the court and not let him relax for a moment. Even if he stands there and does not move, you have to entangle with him! ”
"We can accept a 5 to 10-point deficit in the first quarter, but we have to put Bruce Lee's fitness in a bigger jeopardy."
“……”
In the dressing room, McBrown emphasised the central priorities of the game.
All the Cavaliers players know it.
In addition to the two names named, other players have also said that they will join in this great cause that consumes Bruce Lee's physical energy.
Because, only by knocking Bruce Lee off the court can the Cavaliers get a higher win rate.
……
Hollinger also stressed this before the game.
However, Reggie Miller kindly reminded him: "The other Knicks players are not vegetarians, and if the Cavaliers are crazy about surrounding Bruce, it is very likely that other players will explode." ”
"You guys overestimated the Cavaliers' win rate, and I still think tonight is a five-to-five situation."
This objective remark did not stop Hollinger from touting the Cavaliers, and he even emphasized: "If the Cavaliers don't win this victory, I'll eat tonight's game ball on the spot!" ”
Forehead...!
Reggie Miller was taken aback by these cruel words.
Swallow the ball, this is not a pro-Kenny ass, there is no room for maneuver at all, do you want to bet so much?
