0653: [Shameless Zen Master, Once That Boy]
Bastard?
Blake Griffin frowned and muttered to himself... No, that's possible. Didn't McGee say that McGee was the magician's illegitimate son?
Forehead....
Griffin thought to himself that the Boss must have misunderstood something.
But it's a game after all, so you have to be serious and wait until after the victory.
Isaiah Thomas took a new stance on the sidelines.
At the same time, Larry Brown also stood up, and the two of them complemented each other, Qin Se and Ming.
Although Isaiah Thomas is just a mascot and diplomat, Larry Brown has only done a little bit of defensive experience and skills. But when both men stood up at the same time, Charles Barkley and the audience thought, "The Clippers should make a big move!" ”
When the audience has this association, it is difficult for Phil Jackson to sit still.
After all, both of these are coaches with a reputation out there.
You have to be on guard.
Phil Jackson frowned, and he stood up as well.
It's like a duel in the air.
Meanwhile, LeBron James has launched his furious offensive.
Li Zhen has been hard against his lower plate, although this makes the Chosen One very uncomfortable. But at LeBron's level, you want to limit him through single defense... That's just impossible.
But James also paid a big price, mobilizing Mohammed's cover and also opening up space through Chris Bosh to get into the paint, and in the end he only took a conservative layup to finish the battle.
Back to it.
LeBron James also began to keep an eye on Li Zhen.
Two superstars with the strongest appeal are in a showdown at the top.
Li Zhen did not adopt James's fierce style of play, but entangled with James in the form of back-to-back singles.
This greatly exerts Li Zhen's strengths and just grasps James's disadvantages.
The body of the Chosen One is extremely strong, and it can be called the ultimate in history. However, he didn't do enough work in the back-to-back singles. In particular, he will switch to the interior to defend the interior players at times.
However, Li was really a little man more than ten centimeters shorter than him.
The chassis is stable, the body is smart, and the technology is solid.
James quickly couldn't understand Li Zhen's movements, and was deceived by Li Zhen's false shot.
By the time he came up to fill the position with his amazing physical fitness, Li Zhen had already passed the basketball out.
Hayward catches the basket at the bottom corner of the three-point line and makes a quick shot.
The up-and-coming shooting guard shows his big heart and is still solid even against the active second-best point guard!
Swish!
The basketball falls steadily into the hoop.
Pretty!
Charles Barkley praised on TV.
"The Los Angeles Clippers, led by coaches Isaiah Thomas and Larry Brown, have quickly developed a group of rising stars. Before this game, who would have thought they would be able to withstand the Knicks' onslaught? ”
Everyone was impressed with the Clippers bunch of lads.
Although the game is not over yet, the winner is not yet known. However, everyone knows very well that the Clippers have a promising future and will definitely be the biggest obstacle to the Knicks' championship in the near future.
The two teams have been pushing forward in a stalemate.
The first quarter ended quickly.
The second quarter was also played quickly.
Although, both sides have changed their players and rotated their lineups.
However, no one can help anyone.
Just like LeBron James and Bruce Lee did in the first half.
The Chosen One had 17 points, 5 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal in the half.
Li Zhen had 13 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in the half.
The two fought equally.
However, being able to tie the Knicks 56-56 at halftime is already a huge victory for the Clippers.
At Madison Garden, fans who miss Li Zhen miss it even more. Because the team spent such a large amount of money did not prove that they were better than Bruce Lee, and even Bruce had already built a team that could be compared to the Big Three by finding a few newcomers.
If... It would have been nice if the Knicks hadn't broken up in the summer of 2010.
A lot of Knicks fans are thinking there.
You know, the Knicks, who disintegrated in the summer of 2010, have now built two strong teams in the West, in addition to getting Bruce's Los Angeles Clippers to become upstarts, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph immediately burst out with amazing energy after the Memphis regroup, and they began to accelerate towards the playoffs.
In addition, the rise of the Miami Heat can hardly be said to have not eaten the dividends of the Knicks' disintegration.
'We're confident we'll win this game.'
Speaking to TNT's front reporters before returning to the dressing room, Phil Jackson was so optimistic: "Our players played great in the first half. However, in the second half we will be better. The Los Angeles Clippers are already very good, but they will force a better Knicks. ”
The Zen master said with a smile on the TV.
He looked calm.
However, in terms of pretense, he is no match for Isaiah Thomas.
TNT reporters then interviewed Isaiah Thomas.
Thomas signed a few names for a few missed fans in the tunnel, so it was a little late to enter the tunnel.
But that didn't stop him from being interviewed.
Anyway, he was in no hurry to go back and lay out his tactics.
"For me, there are two little things that will happen tonight. The first thing is, I'm going to be on Long Island overnight and my chef has prepared the best tuna ingredients for me. The second thing is that the Clippers will take the win with ease. ”
"The Knicks were great, even better than I thought they would, and they had good chemistry. LeBron scored almost 20 points, Wade also had a very impressive play, and Chris Bosh ...... It's nice that they're in a very competitive environment. ”
"Hopefully they won't be frustrated by the impending defeat, and at the same time I'm sorry that there was only one winner in a game."
Isaiah Thomas spread his palms on TV, and he opened his mouth to be in old clothes.
This familiar atmosphere is extremely sentimental to New York fans in front of the TV, who used to listen to it very well.
Now, the cool people are Clippers fans.
"Apparently Phil Jackson is more believable, Thomas is like a frivolous clown. But why do I always think Isaiah has the last laugh? Charles Barkley muttered at half-time.
Kenny replied seriously, "Because of Bruce Lee." ”
……
By the time the Smiling Assassin returned to the locker room, Lee Jin and Jamilin were in the middle of the locker room discussing the tactical details of the second half with the players.
This is a new plan proposed by Li Zhen this season.
He organizes coaches and players to conduct pre-match tactical analysis and rehearsals, and asks each player to claim their own area and name what they are good at and can do.
Even if it is a player at the end of the bench, as long as he has the confidence to stand up and claim it, Li Zhen will carefully refer to it, combined with the entire tactical situation, if it can be compatible, once adopted, the players will be allowed to implement it on the court.
This approach was unheard of for Larry Brown, who even felt it was a violation of the manager's authority. He had publicly objected, but it was invalid.
Moreover, the team's subsequent performance also proved that his previous opposition was unjustified.
Larry Brown has finally started to figure it out lately.
But he didn't think he was wrong.
Because this method is not replicable.
It is impossible for other teams to have a leader with super authority like Li Zhen, and even if there is a rare existence, it is impossible to have Li Zhen's tactical thinking and strategic height, and the ability to personally create the execution ability.
Therefore, the Clippers can get better because of this, and every player is involved in it, not only improving the technical level on the training court, but also improving the tactical ability and overall view with the naked eye.
That's why the Clippers and the Knicks were so inextricably linked tonight.
Because, the Clippers now equate to everyone being a coach, and everyone is paying for their own tactics.
Everyone wants to complete their own tactics.
As a result, small upward forces accumulate into greater tactical forces.
"We call it a tactical buffet." Isaiah Thomas laughed and quipped Larry Brown, "Your outfit is outdated." ”
Larry Brown didn't speak, his eyes looking at Milicic, who was pointing to the tactical board in the middle of the field, a slightly nervous tone, but generally eloquent.
His emotions are mixed.
These days, he's been playing a role that has been trying to keep Milicic at bay, which has forced Milicic to play a lot of good games.
However, Larry Brown knows that hatred cannot sustain a person's long-term hard work. It is even possible that after a heavy blow, he will collapse and no longer have the heart.
But now, seeing the confidence on Milicic's face, he began to actively sell his skills in the paint area.
Larry Brown's eyes were distant.
He suddenly remembered that in the autumn of 2003, a young, immature, fair-skinned and handsome European boy introduced his abilities to himself with stiff English eyebrows.
At that time, the Pistons were full of talent, and the team was on the road to winning the championship.
Larry Brown had no idea to stop and listen to the self-promotion of this talented little center. Anyway, the 2003 list was also a surprise of luck.
But now, he heard the same words.
“…… I can shoot at two 45-degree angles. My left hand is more balanced than my right hand, so if I catch the basketball in this position, I'll have an easier time. Because, my right foot rotates very quickly as the central axis, which is a killer move that I have been a child since I was a child. I learned it from the video of Sabonis and Olajuwon, and no one can stop me in Europe, and I can even go through two big men......"
These words are familiar.
Although it is not as flamboyant as 7 years ago, it is so empty-eyed. But it's clear that he's regaining his self-confidence and some love for basketball.
The Clippers' vibe unknowingly infected him.
Li Zhen confirmed with him, but he didn't tell him clearly in the end whether he could execute it tonight.
Because the game is so important, and what Milicic said is too strange.
It doesn't quite fit his current position.
Milicic stepped aside with a slight disappointment, and then he saw Larry Brown.
Larry Brown's expression quickly shifted, and he became cold and dismissive.
This made Milicic clench his fists hard.
At this time, Isaiah Thomas walked over with tacit understanding, and he encouraged Milicic.
These two people are red and white, and the cooperation is seamless.
Larry Brown finally took the initiative to find Li Zhen before the game started. He hopes that Li Zhen will give Milicic a chance tonight: "I think he also wants to find himself who he once had high hopes for in such an important match tonight. ”
Li Zhen really didn't have a plan to let Milicic show his tactics.
Because, this game is too important.
And, even if the Clippers tied with New York in the first half. However, Li Zhen knows very well how amazing the explosive power of the New York Knicks, who have two superstars and one superstar.
It can be said that as long as any supergiant enters the rampage mode, the Clippers will become very passive.
So, for Milicic to show his individual abilities, it's really....
However, when Larry Brown came over to find himself. He said this sentence that made Li Zhen extremely moved.
He was desperately squeezing himself inside, and if he didn't rest in the second half and played the whole game, he might be able to buy Milicic a round or two of attacking opportunities.
So, he nodded and agreed.
……
The second half of the game started quickly.
The Clippers are still in the starting lineup.
The Knicks, however, made a tweak, and they started Francisco, who hit two three-pointers in the first half. James is at point guard, alongside Wade, Bosh and Mohammed.
The height of the Knicks' lineup went up instantly.
At first glance, it really has the flavor of Li Zhen leading the Knicks last season.
At the time, the Knicks also liked to play fast offense with tall lineups.
Sure enough, the Knicks picked up the tempo under the leadership of James and Wade.
James and Wade both increased their penetration into the paint, and the breakaway kills of these two can definitely be second in the NBA, and Dwyane Wade and young Chicago native Derrick Rose are battling for third.
So, when these two came together, the Los Angeles penalty area was immediately challenged.
Blake Griffin's defense has improved a lot, but it is clearly not enough to deal with two super breakers.
After three rounds, Lee Jin had only one choice to make, and he replaced Eddie Griffin on the court.
As soon as Eddie Griffin came up, the defensive standard immediately improved.
However, the offensive firepower of the restricted area has suddenly decreased: you must know that Jordan Jr.'s offensive ability is limited to various forms of dunks, and Eddie's offensive skills are also concentrated on catching and shooting.
Phil Jackson was so scheming that he replaced Mohammed and stuffed Gallinari up.
This time.
The fans in the stadium were familiar with it.
Isn't this the same tactic that the Knicks used to dominate the world last season?
"Phil Jackson is a little shameless."
Kenny Smith attacks directly on TV.
Last season, the Zen master was still there and said he wanted to transform the Knicks. insisted on squeezing out Li Zhen's tactics, but now that Li Zhen is gone, he doesn't insist on his triangle attack anymore, but instead gives James and others stinky feet, and takes out Li Zhen's tactics.
Shameless!
Even Knicks fans in front of the TV agree with Kenny Smith.
Because, since this tactic is going to be played, why not leave Bruce behind?
This tactic was invented by Bruce.
But Phil Jackson didn't care, and when the camera turned on him, he was smiling at the climbing lead.
He was at ease.
