Matt Barnes finally made things more awkward with some hard explanations.

His original intention was to praise Li Zhen's aesthetics to convey that we are all people who like beautiful women and let beautiful women like them. However, when the words came out of his mouth, they were a little obscene.

With his honor of being at least a double-flowered red stick in the gang, discuss women... It's hard to think of love, aesthetics, and the like.

"I've decided to hand over your brother."

Zach Randolph came at the end.

Barnes did not expect to be self-defeating, and he actually formed a friendship with Randolph. And, Randolph reminded him, "Don't tell Bruce about this in the future." Bruce is not like us, he is the kind of man who has thousands of women waiting to climb into his bed whenever he wants, whenever he nods. God has put it in easy mode for him, and we have to pursue it. ”

"Back in New York, let's go push the train together."

As he spoke, Randolph pulled out his phone and showed him the new tea from a high-end club.

Barnes wanted to refuse with righteous words, and impassionedly claimed that he already had a girlfriend and loved her. But, helplessly, Randolph's flipped fingers, and the tea leaves that were about to come out were too moving.

"Hey, hey."

Barnes showed the expression of a fellow practitioner: "From today on, you are my own brother!" ”

Oh, man.

……

Isaiah Thomas and Lee Zhen didn't expect Randolph and Barnes to tie the knot so quickly.

However, at the subsequent brief press conference, the three of them did get a bit of gunpowder.

Barnes, Foyer, Thomas and Randolph appeared in the North Shore Garden media room, where the Knicks' PR department impounded a brief press conference to introduce the two new players and welcome them on.

It would have been just a formality.

But, who made this Boston?

And, when Stephen Marbury, who was in charge of the Knicks' ideological work, wasn't sitting here, it was hard to control the divergent thinking of these guys.

After a brief introduction to the two new signings, Isaiah gave a cordial welcome on behalf of the club, followed by a word of praise and a statement that both will be playing tonight and that their shirt numbers have already been chosen.

After this process, a reporter asked: "Now there are many voices out there saying that you made a bad deal." David Lee's value is underestimated, and the Golden State Warriors are likely to take off with David Lee. ”

Isaiah was still very reserved at this time, and he expressed his blessing to David Lee. He also claimed that Barnes and Foyer gave the Knicks the most valuable defense, and believed that they would form a tight and harmonious chemistry with the team.

But Zach Randolph was upright.

"David Lee is getting less and less playing time with the Knicks, and he's only delaying his youth here. Isn't it good that we let him go to the Warriors to chase a better future? Why does trading have to be won or lost, and there must be someone to be ridiculed? I think you media are just stirring up trouble, just trying to make everyone uncomfortable. ”

Forehead......

Randolph's reporters were unhappy.

Barnes gave Randolph a thumbs-up below.

When reporters once again sourly expressed how they view the Knicks' defensive efficiency ranking only 18th in the league. Randolph couldn't bear it anymore: "That's right, we just can't defend." But what about your second most efficient defense? It's not that the record is worse than ours! ”

Randolph's sinister appearance amazed Barnes.

He liked the rhythm so much.

But at the same time, he is a little worried that the manager and management will teach Randolph a lesson because of this, after all, good media relations are also a compulsory course for players.

However, he soon dispelled his doubts.

Because, Isaiah Thomas is even more ruthless.

He was asked, "Are you worried that the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic will surpass the Knicks for the first place in the regular season before the All-Star break......

"I'm not worried at all."

Thomas raised an eyebrow: "If they had the ability, they would have surpassed it a long time ago." You can also help me ask them, what are you waiting for? ”

Forehead......

The reporters were suffering from internal injuries and were quite uncomfortable.

Barnes had a cool expression, and his little eyebrows flew high: This is where I belong. It's not too cool to work with such a gangster with a true temperament, and you can't hold it back to see who is unhappy.

I'm going to make a difference in New York!!

Barnes's sense of belonging came too quickly.

……

Lee Zhen criticized Thomas and Zach Randolph in the locker room, and the team's PR manager had a headache telling him the news ten minutes earlier.

He thinks Boston will definitely play the Knicks as a fierce rival next. Can't you be steady, just keep going? Do you have to be so arrogant?

"Isaiah almost pointed to the group of reporters tonight and told them: I'm not targeting the Celtics, I'm saying all the Eastern Conference teams, it's rubbish." The PR manager felt his head hurt.

He hoped that Li Zhen would educate Thomas and Randolph, and this was the only person he could think of who could contain Randolph and Thomas.

What he didn't expect was that Li Zhen was indeed criticizing them.

But the direction of criticism is very different.

"Why are you being so conservative? See how they target us? Didn't you learn a vocabulary from the Boston newspapers? ”

Forehead....

Randolph and Thomas humbly accepted. They all religiously expressed their hope to learn something new from Harvard's top students.

Li Zhen didn't bother to joke with them.

turned to a serious saying: "Now that the words have been released, then the game must be tough." You're all face-saving people, and I'm sure you know what kind of humiliation we're going to face in Boston if we lose this game. ”

"I don't want those nasty people to show off their might, so no matter what the angle, I have to show 100 percent! Because ......"

"We have nowhere to go but win."

Barnes looked at Li Zhen and mobilized his morale with a few words, and everyone's eyes burst with flames.

You've come to the right place.

Once again, he had strong emotions.

Barnes integrated faster than he thought, and even he felt like he was made for the Knicks.

……

ESPN temporarily broadcast the game live across the United States.

McBlin, Reggie Miller, Bill Wharton all sat in the studio.

The Knicks have been on a rampage this season beyond anyone could have imagined. Before the start of the season, most people thought that the Celtics would be the undisputed No. 1 in the East, and the Knicks would at best maintain last season's record.

Because the Knicks didn't bring in many reinforcements in the summer, and even Randolph and Griffin were problem players, everyone was worried that Li Zhen, who had not dried up, would not be able to control the scene.

But now, one by one, they are flying in disguise, led by Isaiah Thomas.

Isaiah's remarks at the press conference have been repeated on ESPN's channel.

"Thomas is drifting worse now than he did when he was in Detroit. Does he really think that the Knicks have surpassed the Celtics with the Big Three as a whole? The Orlando Magic are also menacing, and they have beaten them before. ”

Reggie Miller said helplessly on TV: "Isaiah is so arrogant. ”

He felt that Thomas was pretending to be forced because the Knicks' overall strength was not strong enough to seek defeat alone. What else can this do but anger the Celtics and Orlando Magic, and potentially the Cleveland Cavaliers?

In fact, when Paul Pierce was interviewed before the game, he had already sworn to put down the cruel words: "Overtaking the Knicks, starting tonight!" ”

Moreover, he did not forget to criticize Thomas's previous statements. "If Bruce Lee is a superstar, then there are at least 80 superstars in the league today, and we have five on the team!"

"He's going to be treated like a superstar tonight."

Pierce said with a serious expression.

"It's serious."

Bill Wharton spread his hands, he liked Li Zhen very much, but he also had to be honest: "Isaiah Thomas's remarks always put Bruce on the cusp. ”

"But the good thing is that he has been able to withstand this pressure every time and grow under pressure......

Bill Wharton's appreciation was quickly forcibly interrupted.

ESPN has stopped leaning toward the Knicks because of its farce with Isaiah Thomas.

In fact, all of the Thomas and Knicks players declined interviews with ESPN before the game. Earlier, Thomas even rejected ESPN's coverage in his post-match press conference.

He's always been so headstrong. ’

James Dolan said with a smile on his face when he talked about Thomas's dispute with ESPN.

He didn't mind at all that ESPN's negative stance might leave the Knicks scarred.

After all, the New York market was enough for him to eat. What's more, the Asian market is also exploding wildly.

Who cares what ESPN says.

Besides, Isaiah was the man he admired the most.

……

The North Shore Garden Arena quickly became the craziest Devils home in the league, and when the Knicks entered, the entire stadium was booed and name-calling.

Especially when Bruce walks onto the court, the abuse reaches its peak.

However, Matt Barnes found that the elegant and easy-going Bruce was still personable.

Eddie Griffin was always aloof, with a cold attitude that didn't care about himself.

Zach Randolph kept scolding there, in his eyes, more than 20,000 people here were raised on dog food, and there were some blue ponds and the like.

Also, there's Stephen Marbury. He's been emphasizing that these are paper tigers, and this kind of bravado can't intimidate our brave and resolute Knicks players.

Forehead....

Matt Barnes finally understands why the Golden State Gangs lost to the Knicks. Although the Knicks are a group of weirdos, they have their own duties, they want to be beaten and beaten, they want to be mixed and they are not stingy, they want leaders to be leaders, and they want to be spiritually inspired...... Such a team is strong!

The most unexpected thing for Matt Barnes was when the players on both sides walked up to the pitch and came over to Paul Pierce and deliberately trash talking: "Tonight, you're going to be in the North Shore Gardens, and you're never going to be able to get up." You vase with no name! ”

The polite Bruce actually raised his eyebrows: "Hehe, such a good story, you must not play it badly." ”

"There are so many people who want to expose my true colors, but without exception, they all fail and become my stepping stones to the top. You have to do it. ”

Li Zhen's gentle words were like sharp spears, constantly piercing Pierce's nerves in charge of emotions.

Paul Pierce's expression turned disgusted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breathing became heavy.

At this time, Matt Barnes suddenly understood why knowledgeable and literate people can always stand on top of the world.

Then, he made a decision, and he walked up to Paul Pierce: "Man, your opponent tonight is me. ”

He looked unruly.

The fierce face reflected his firmness.

He said this before remembering what Eddie Griffin had told him five minutes earlier: "Zach thinks that if we just stand by and watch him, that guy will naturally become an NBA hegemon." However, no, that guy still has a lot of enemies that he can't defeat. So, he needs our help. ”

"If you want to join our team, you have to give it your all and give it your all."

"It's a path of glory."

"I'll wait to see how you perform."

Eddie Griffin voluntarily relinquished his starting spot before the game, adding newcomers Barnes and Foyer to the starting line-up.

And in order to increase the team's perimeter offensive ability, Quentin Richardson became the team's starting small forward.

This lineup fell into Doug Rivers' eyes, and the corners of his mouth unnaturally outlined a mockery. He had already learned from ESPN's reporters about Thomas's pre-game megalomaniacal remarks, which in fact sparked a strong reaction in the home team's locker room, with everyone aggressively saying that they wanted to take the Knicks down. Even Garnett said he could play with an injury, but in the end Rivers convinced him that he believed in the strength of his teammates and that he didn't need to kill chickens.

"Isaiah Thomas really thinks of himself as a famous coach."

Rivers shook his head mockingly.

This kind of starting with a new player who has just arrived in the team is simply not to take any more risks.

Therefore, he pressed his hands and signaled the team to attack from the opening with full state, and to expand the point difference as quickly as possible, so that the Knicks had no way back.

Backbite!

The referee blew the whistle.

Foyer jumped at the same time as Perkins.

Both of these are shield-type centers with a defensive focus. But Perkins is a little more advantageous in height and size, and he is young.

So... Syllable!

He was the first to shoot basketball.

It's a rare image for the Knicks this season.

However, just as the basketball flew to the Celtics halfcourt, Li Zhen suddenly attacked, and he rushed out like lightning, like a strange shadow...... Syllable!

The basketball was stealed by him on the spot.

Then, he drove forward with the ball.

Lagalondo rushed in pursuit, and Boston's defensive system was quickly operational...... With the blessing of defensive coach Thibodeau, Boston's defensive intensity has long been improved by many levels.

However, they still didn't leave Bruce's pace.

When Li Zhen drove his explosiveness and speed to the extreme, Lagalondo's pursuit was a little redundant.

Moreover, the aging PJ Brown is not the wolf king after all, and his co-defense is a beat slower.

And it was this beat, even though Bruce Lee passed through the gap, his body was like smoke, fluttering over the restricted area, and gently throwing the basketball into the Celtics' basket with an extremely elegant layup...... Swish!

The gentle voice gently broke the hearts of countless fans.

At the same time, Bruce didn't forget to give Paul Pierce some advice after landing: "Your bags are too slow to connect. If it's just this level of defense, I think... Your wishes are likely to be frustrated. ”

Bruce spread his palms.

Eddie Griffin and Stephen Marbury on the sidelines smiled with relief at the same time, and their king finally started talking trash talk.
