The God of Basketball

Thirteen: [Stanford Lightning]

Courtney's playing became a turning point in the game.

Although he is a good shooter, he can't restrict Li Zhen's actions, so he can only passively follow behind him to suck his exhaust. And the fierce offensive set off by Bruce was like a raging fire that swallowed the University of Southern California in an instant.

USC must pay for their arrogance.

They didn't take Stanford seriously from the beginning.

The coaching staff did not conduct pre-match collection at all, and the tactical response was even zero. When they heard that the two core players of Stanford University were injured and the head coach had already run away, their spirits immediately stopped in a state of extreme relaxation.

That's why Pruitt took two of his teammates to a party the night before and got drunk.

From top to bottom, no one took Stanford seriously.

But after playing, the thin No. 10 point guard gave them a blow. He led the team to run and shoot like the Phoenix Suns. Although Pruitt knocked him down twice, he ended up resting with a sprained ankle because of defense.

Immediately afterwards, although Nick Young was still brave. He scored 29 points on 12-for-25 shooting and proved that he is a strong contender for the Pacific Division Most Valuable Player.

However, he failed to bring victory to his team.

His efficiency is too low.

Stanford may not have a star player, but they all work together. Their shooters and their forwards are even more powerful under the leadership of Li Zhen. Everyone is smart and accurate in completing their tasks, especially Scott and Thomson, the two good friends of Bruce, who get the most opportunities.

Thomson made 5 of 9 shots from beyond the arc and scored 24 points in the game.

Although Scott has no shooting ability, he scored 17 points and 9 rebounds by relying on the pick-and-roll cooperation with Li Zhen and directly attacking the basket.

If he has a solid mid-range game, he has a good chance of scoring more than 30 points. Many times it was because the opponent got stuck in the penalty area in advance, and he had to pass the ball a second time after receiving the basketball, resulting in wasted opportunities.

Of course, the most shining star in this game is Li Zhen.

Although he only played 28 minutes due to physical limitations.

But everyone knows that he is the best actor and director of this counter-attack performance of "Below and Down". If it hadn't been for his quick and maneuverable improvement of the rhythm and pushing Southern California's half-court play to a passive position, Southern California would still have won this game.

And his speed, his ability to play the ball, and his organizational talent are the key details that made this victory.

The comprehensive data of 10 points, 15 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds cannot explain his influence.

And in this game, Li Zhen finally got his first nickname in his life.

When he stole a rebound from the basket in the fifth minute of the second half, launched a fierce counterattack, and used a quick change of direction near the center line to pass the defense, Courtney, with Nick Young's defense all the way to the three-pointer Inside the line, then he collected the ball and accelerated to get rid of the top scorer in the Pacific Division. Magic Johnson could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart. He screamed: "This is not Bruce Lee, this is Stanford's Little Lightning!! "

And when Time Warner's sideline reporter asked Li Zhen what he thought of this nickname, Li Zhen said with a smile: "Thank you Magic Johnson, I like this nickname very much, he is also my idol, many of my passing moves It all came from his tapes. He tapped my passion for basketball and made me fall in love with the point guard position."

When Li Zhen's words were transmitted to the studio through the TV signal, the magician seemed very happy.

"I've said it before, Johnny. His passing motion is so familiar, I learned it from my tape. I like this guy,

If I have time I don't mind going to the Stanford training facility and teaching him some moves. He is a very talented point guard. I hope he gets better and better. "

The magician said excitedly.

No one can resist this kind of sincere compliment and respect from the heart, and magicians are no exception.

If... Time Warner's signal can support connected calls, Johnson can't wait to discuss "Self-cultivation of Point Guards in the New Era and New Environment" with Li Zhen immediately.

In fact, the reporter also asked a similar question.

He asked Li Zhen why tonight's tactics were completely different from Stanford's before, and how he viewed his position in the new tactics.

"You know, we unfortunately lost two core players before this. We have to make changes. Coach Jamelin has done a lot of deskwork based on our existing lineup. Through his superb tactical layout ability, we finally found out. Come up with this quick offensive and defensive play."

"And my position in this tactic is the organizer of the ball, responsible for improving our rhythm, and then quickly passing the basketball when teammates appear open."

Every word and every word of Li Zhen emphasized the role of Jamilin, and he weakened his own ability.

He hopes that through this victory, Jamelin's talent will be recognized and he will successfully become the head coach of Stanford.

Then, the reporter really asked about the departure of head coach McHaney from the team.

However, his question was a bit sharp and meant to provoke dissension: "In the absence of the head coach, you still won this counterattack victory. Excuse me, do you think the previous tactical system is not suitable for Stanford?"

"No. Your understanding is not comprehensive. What I mean is that Coach Jamelin made the best plan based on the existing lineup. And when we are fully equipped, Coach McHerney's coaching Ideas are the best."

Bruce said without leaking: "Also, the head coach is doing more important work. He is working hard for a better future for our team, and all of us are proud to have such a coach."

Li Zhen obviously does not want the matter to become a coaching dispute under the instigation of the media, which is definitely not a good thing for Jamilin. After all, coach McHarney has a pivotal position in the California basketball circle, and Jamelin is just a fledgling Chinese assistant coach. Even if he wins a beautiful victory, it is not enough to pose any threat to McHarney.

On the contrary, once McHearney is angered, he is likely to be directly fired by the sports committee.

In fact, Jamelin also called McHarney immediately to report.

McHearney was a bit unbelievable about winning this victory. So, after encouraging Jamilin, he turned on the TV.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the post-match video of Li Zhen on the Time Warner Channel.

Li Zhen answered that he was very satisfied.

He nodded with a smile, muttering in his mouth: The high-achieving students who can be admitted to Harvard are really different. It would be great if his confrontation ability was better. I wouldn't even dismiss him.

For McHaney, it is a very difficult choice to remove Bruce next season. Li Zhen has always been a smart and hardworking player in his heart. But with the limited number of players on the roster, he has to make trade-offs. Although he is very dissatisfied with Chris Pater, he is the cousin of the ace player TJ Walton after all: he can only support this waste.

well!

He sighs: If only Bruce's cousin was TJ Ford.

At this time, Time Warner began to replay the highlights of the game.

When he saw the first shot, he was completely dumbfounded.

How could this be?

Is this still Bruce?
