Chapter Ninety-Six, Praise
"Smith, that Chinese rookie is really soft, you look at his stats in the last game, 3 of 15, 15 long shots, 12 irons, except for three-point shots, he can't even shoot from mid-range."
"Haha, it's normal for rookies to fluctuate, Charles, I think he's going to explode this time, have you seen it? He had a lot of inchements against the Cavaliers, and this one might have a different performance. ”
"Outbreak? I think the Bulls have done their best defensive demonstration, and the Knicks just need to do the same thing as the Bulls. ”
"Does D'Antoni's team still have a defense? Do you expect Randolph's black pig to fly and block like Stoudemire? The offense is okay, but it's messy, and it's not realistic to expect Chris Dujon to be as stringy as Steve Nash."
"That's right, haha, I can't even figure out why we're broadcasting this game live today, what's so good about the two bad teams?"
TNT's commentator Charles Barkley and partner Kenny Smith taunted the Knicks and Thunder as much as they could.
Neither of these teams is worthy of a national live broadcast.
If the Knicks weren't in the big market of New York.
If the Thunder don't win three of four games recently, they will lose face in the East if they have eliminated the Heat and the Cavaliers in a row.
Neither team is worthy of the honor of broadcasting the nation with TNT.
After all, the NBA is a business league, everything depends on the market, needless to say in New York, no matter what the record is, the live broadcast in the United States will not fall, and the well-known fans on the sidelines of the court have earned their money.
As for the Thunder, there has been a great rookie Lee Forest recently.
scored 35 points in a single quarter, wiped out James in a row, and prevented Wade's final kill, and his limelight crushed all the rookies of the same class and the league's leading scorers for a while.
If Derrick Rose hadn't beaten the Thunder led by Lee Forest in the last game, he wouldn't have been able to save face.
For this rookie, the highest evaluation by the media is Li Linlin, although he is very unstable, with a single function, average talent, and few scoring means.
But the 35-point elimination of the Cavaliers in a single quarter, the dominance of the Bobcats in overtime, the leading point average among all players in the rookie ahead of him, and the team that missed him in the face were enough to crush everyone in his grade, including his teammate Westbrook.
Of course, a lot of this news is also exaggerated by the media, and there are also many fans of the Data Party.
Li Forest was worried when he saw these reports.
After the media rendering, this year's rookies all regard Li Forest as a benchmark rival.
Rose, Lefu, and Mayo have expressed their dissatisfaction on various occasions, and even Wei Shao began to look at Li Linlin's eyes a little strangely, and as soon as he saw Li Linlin, he wanted to invite him to fight bulls.
The media can really lick it, seeing that Li Forest is playing well, they immediately rushed to lick a wave of heat, and some media even released the wild words of "Li Forest is comparable to James" and "chasing Jordan".
Anyway, after licking, it's none of their business, and the trouble is all Li Linlin's.
If you hit well, you lick it, and if you don't hit it well, you step on it.
This is the universal nature of the global media.
The current atmosphere in China is the same, after this period of fermentation, Li Linlin's single-quarter record has made more and more Chinese people talk about it, and their pride is bursting, and Li Forest has achieved a record that even Kobe and Jordan can't complete.
Domestic basketball fans have begun to like watching the NBA, and they want to watch Li Forest play, Li Forest and Yao Ming have completely different styles.
Yao Ming represents steady, modest and solid.
Li Forest represents, flamboyant, confident, and handsome.
More and more people click on Li Forest as long as they see the topic of Li Forest on the Internet, and Li Forest has now become the guarantee of the news flow of the sports channel.
Sure enough, 35 points in a single quarter still caused him trouble, looking at the intensifying trend of public opinion, Li Forest was also quite helpless, he took on the fame that was not the current strength should bear.
It's not that Li Forest doesn't like to be famous, he just feels that his current strength is not worthy of these praises, the higher he is praised, the worse he falls, and Li Forest is full of vigilance about these.
So during this time, Li Forest also continued to force himself to train hard, he wanted to make himself grow up as soon as possible, and deserve the praise that Thompson, Curry, and Harden brought to him.
Fortunately, in the last game, Li Linlin was suppressed by Rose, otherwise the media would have to let him continue to "go to the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun".
It's not surprising that Rose's identity suppresses him, after all, he is the man who can suppress geniuses such as Wei Shao, Mayo, and Lefu at the same time in 2008 and become the champion.
The Bulls' defense completely exposed Lee Forest's flaws, and also gave the Knicks a textbook lesson on Lee Forest.
Although the Knicks' defense is not bad, at home, D'Antoni can't really be unguarded, and he is ready to let forward Chandler follow him to defend Lee Forest.
Only defends three-pointers, uses his height advantage to completely block his three-point shots, if he hits the inside, Randolph and David Lee are not vegetarians.
As for Lee Forest's mid-range two-pointer.
Feel free to do so, D'Antoni doesn't look down on mid-range two-pointers at all, and in his mind, only 3-point shooting is the most efficient with the basket.
As the game approached, the crowd at Madison Square Garden Arena became lively one after another.
As the mecca of basketball in New York, Madison Garden is much larger than the Ford Center, the home of the Thunder, and the home atmosphere is also strong, and there are many famous fans sitting on the sidelines "VIP seats".
Lee Forest saw Tris Morgan, Taylor Swift, Spat Lee on the sidelines.
After a while, the entrance ceremony was over.
The competition has officially begun.
The starting lineup of the New York Knicks is, Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford, Wilson Chandler, Zach Randolph, Quentin Richardson.
The Thunder's starting lineup is, Russell Westbrook, Forest Lee, Jeff Green, Collisson, Earl Watson.
Regular starter Wilcox was pressed to the bench by Brooks.
Management intends to trade this center to the Knicks for a Marrick Rose, and Wilcox's scoring ability is really not complimentary.
Regarding the tactical arrangement of the Thunder in this game.
Brooks is ready to play fast against fast, he is completely unafraid of D'Antoni's running and shooting, and the Thunder are all about playing fast counter-attacks and one-on-one rounds.
Than speed will fear you?
"Zach, kick me in the ass, especially that Lee Forest."
As the two sides were about to jump the ball, Spat Lee, a fan wearing the number 6 jersey, shouted at the black big Zach Randolph.
Randolph apparently knew the well-known fan as well, and when he heard his shout, his fierce and swarthy face showed a mouthful of white teeth in response.
“OK。”
Zach Randolph is the quintessential tough guy with a tough style of play.
He's one of the toughest big guys in the league to deal with, and he's also a big guy who can use his power to push out of space and when he rushes into the paint, it's hard to defend him.
Lee Forest knows that Randolph is really an underrated player.
Randolph also has a soft touch under the basket, and his body is stronger, making it almost impossible for opposing defenders to squeeze him away, and Randolph is also a very good rebounder.
Defensively, while Randolph's one-on-one defensive ability may not be very strong, he won't suffer in terms of height at least.
As one of the famous black and white bears in later generations, he and the white bear Marc Gasol forged a steel interior line, which made all teams fearful.
That's right, no team in the West wants to meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, no team can be sure to get out of Memphis, and even if they can win, they will shed their skin, and Randolph is the most important contributor to this, and now he is still in the Knicks.
As the referee throws the ball into the air.
The competition has officially begun.
Both sides jump the ball.
