0285:[Knicks' New Pearl]
Telfair was one of the most famous players in New York and the United States in high school, and it was not for nothing that he was able to appear on the cover of magazines at the same time as LeBron James.
Back then, he was known as El Monroe Jr.
As we all know, 'Pearl' El Monroe is the greatest guard in Knicks history and one of the most beautiful dancers in NBA history, and his jersey still hangs high on the top of Madison Garden, looking down on everyone.
The same is true of Telfer in high school, his body is like a god made of plasticine, soft and delicate elastic like a dancer, whether it is dribbling under the crotch, dribbling behind the back, or pretending to take advantage of the situation after receiving the ball, it is very spiritual. Moreover, he dares to do exaggerated body change dribbling, swing widely, and half-turn in front of any opponent...... Wait a minute. Telfer was a nightmare for defenders at that time, no one wanted to defend him, he would not only score in front of you, but also tease you and make the audience think you were a fool.
Explosive! Velocity! Swift! Brisk! Silky! Delicate!
There's every dynamic word you can think of to describe Telfer, at least in high school, when he was so unique.
So, when facing Li Zhenshi.
Telfair still has the rebelliousness of a high school king.
"I'll easily break down your defence from the left."
Telfair said proudly.
Then, the basketball moved quickly from his crotch, like a butterfly wearing a flower.
It was a classic move that he could have caused cheers in Rock Park, and sure enough, the surrounding audience was indeed cheered or booed by his gorgeous moves.
But... Li Zhen frowned.
He was suddenly disappointed.
What he once regarded as a miraculous dribble is now in his eyes ... is so stagnant, I can no longer find the delicate and silky feeling of the past.
His pace has been moving slightly, always keeping up with Telfer's rhythm.
Telfer also realized this, and he tried to deceive Lee Zhen's defense with fancy moves, but Lee Zhen did not move. This made his fancy, in vain.
So, he quickly changed direction.
He suddenly took a step to the right, trying to break through Li Zhen's defense with a quick onslaught.
However, he found that when he acted, Li Zhen had already arrived first.
This exposes a fact that Telfer cannot accept: the once nobody is now more explosive than himself.
He quickly tried to half-turn, trying to deceive Li Zhen with his agility and flexibility, and then glided past like silk.
However, he found that Li Zhen had moved sideways again.
This lure strategy shows that Li Zhen's flexibility and agility are not much lost to Telfer.
With the blessing of explosiveness and speed, it easily blocked another offensive of Telfer.
Telfair was helpless, he didn't expect that all the invincible tricks in high school would be blocked.
In desperation, he could only take a strong attack.
Now, he finally found an advantage, and his strength was greater than Li Zhen's.
However, all the previous fancy moves came to naught.
Therefore, although Telfer pushed Li Zhen forward step by step, there was no joy in his heart.
He finally realized why he was so untalented when he arrived in the NBA.
He looked very sad.
So when he made a jump shot at the free throw line, he was also slightly interfered with by Li Zhen...... Li Zhen's height and arm span are better than him, and the bounce speed is also amazing.
So.
Bang!
The basketball deflected off the basket and Eddie Curry got the rebound.
Then pass it to Li Zhen.
The first meeting between the two after many years ended mediocrely.
Both were a little disappointed in each other.
Li Zhen found that Telfair's breakthrough technique was not as strong as before, and he even lost his spirituality back then.
However, Telfer realized that his physical fitness no longer had a monopoly advantage over Li Zhen.
In fact, their cognition is very correct.
Telfair's 'aura' is no longer because his talent ceiling (that is, the total space of talent) is limited, and he was full of spirituality in high school because he did not point his talent to strength and physical strength, so he was light, fast, flexible, delicate, and full of spirituality.
But when he grew up, he joined the NBA. He had to practice confrontation and physical strength, so that when his strength and physical strength occupied the space of his talent, one long and the other would disappear, and his spirituality would naturally disappear.
This is why many ordinary people, after the body is strong, the flexibility will inevitably decrease.
But Li Zhen has no such worries. He has more space for talent than even the superstars at the top of the food chain.
As long as he works hard, sweat can irrigate the talent space endlessly.
……
Li Zhen came to the top of the three-point line with the ball, and Spike Lee on the sidelines suddenly stood up excitedly, and he shouted loudly: "Bruce, one more!" ”
This caused echoes from many spectators on the sidelines.
At the same time, Isaiah Thomas also hurriedly dispatched his troops and motioned for his teammates to pull away...... That's the good thing about bad teams, stars want to go head-to-head, they can give up the offensive and defensive system at any time, and the Knicks don't have a tactical system anyway.
There is an audience, and there is a stage.
Li Zhen smiled slightly.
Li Zhen, who was one step outside the arc of the three-point line, slowly lowered his center of gravity, and the basketball began to beat slowly from his crotch, obedient and well-behaved.
At the beginning, it was not visible.
It wasn't until after the fifth blow that it suddenly poured in...... Bang!
With the moment Li Zhen vigorously slapped the basketball, his figure struck out like a cheetah, heading straight for Telfair's left.
Telfair's subconscious spirit froze, and he was shocked by Li Zhen's sudden explosive power.
He quickly moved sideways, trying to block.
But at this moment, Li Zhen has suddenly changed direction... Bang!
The basketball violently changed direction under Telfair's fingertips, and at the same time, Li Zhen also quickly 'cut' away.
At that time, Li Zhen was allowed to find half a step of space.
Telfair hurriedly started to 'submit with force', but at the same time as he was working sideways, Li Zhen suddenly held the ball and stopped for a half and a half... Telfer subconsciously leaned forward and fell into the trap in an instant. And at the same time as he tried to brake, Li Zhen had already glided and turned around, and suddenly turned to the left around his right-hand body, and flew away.
Amazing cheers rang out from the sidelines, and the great director Spike Lee was the first to stand up and shout.
He even shouted the name 'Pearl Monroe'.
The old fans at the scene also echoed and screamed.
Indeed, this scene has the shadow of old Monroe.
But Li Zhen knew that he was still far away. If your coordination is better, and your flexibility and agility continue to improve, this ball can be as sharp and beautiful as flying close to the ground.
Right now... It's probably the level of Terfair's high school days.
After Li Zhen quickly entered the paint area, the amazing bounce rate suddenly burst out, and after he jumped high, he easily put the basketball into the basket with one hand...... Perkins defended too late.
Swish!
The soft scraping of the basketball made the whole Madison Garden boil.
It's a simple layup though. But in the hearts of New York fans, it is a complete burning of the old era.
Bruce Lee has beaten the youngest defender who has been the most beloved by New York fans in recent years, and in Telfair's way.
There's nothing like that to soothe the hearts of the fans.
This proves that Bruce Lee, also from New York, has fully inherited the plaque of 'Hope for the Future'.
Even everyone's memories of 'El Monroe' are all pinned on Li Zhen, who is the only meritorious guard in history who has brought a championship to the Knicks. (Interestingly, before Monroe left for the Knicks, he also wore the No. 10 jersey.) But they all changed their numbers because of Fraser. )
Uncle Greg roared with the excited fans around him, and Isaiah Thomas stood on the side of the pitch with a proud face on his face.
The roar of Madison Garden soon turned into a uniform cry: FOX! FOX! FOX!
In just two games, Li Zhen seems to be the co-master of the world.
This rotten team has been sinking for too long.
Boston head coach Doug Rivers sighed from the bench.
What he saw was an all-round collapse of the team's overall defense, and he had to admit that neither Telfair nor West before him was no match for Li Zhen now. If the combined rating of these two players is 70, then Li Zhen has reached at least 80.
The Knicks have found the cornerstone of their future.
He glanced apprehensively at the bench and then at the youth army on the field, and he couldn't think of anyone who could take on the title of the cornerstone of the future.
Recently, he has been discussing with General Manager Danny Angie: Is our youth army strategy a failure? Are we really going to look for opportunities from the draft and slowly rebuild through a rebuild? Why don't we trade these young players out of the box and trade them back for superstars? The Lakers have already traded Bruce Lee for Pau Gasol, can't the Celtics, who have a longer history than the Lakers, do so? What's more, there isn't even a young player on our team who can surpass Bruce Lee in all aspects. Lee's commercial value is now comparable to that of a first-line superstar, but the Lakers are still such a simple trade, what do we have to remember?
Such discussions are now gradually forming a consensus at the top of Boston, and it has to be said that the sudden strength of the Lakers still puts a lot of psychological pressure on the Celtics far away in the East.
Although the two teams have declined over the years, they are the two most generous giants in their ancestors after all.
The most unseen scene for hardcore Celtics fans is probably when the Lakers lift the O'Brien Cup. Of course, so are the fans of the Purple and Gold. The yellow-green battle is deeply engraved in the genes of their fans.
Meanwhile.
In the cheers of the audience, Li Zhen opened his hands and threw himself into a new round of defense.
At this time, he didn't know that he was violently fanning the wings of the butterfly, and the fate of most of the players in Boston would change because of him.
