The God of Basketball

Two hundred and nineteenth: [The Best Rookie Contest]

The purple and gold's first game since Kobe Bryant's injury came quickly, and they appeared as a visiting team at Staples Center.

Although this city derby is the Clippers' home court, it is clear that the people cheering for Bruce are far more than the fans cheering for the Clippers: This is a very real situation in Los Angeles. To be ranked behind the WNBA Sparks.

Before the game started, players from both sides gave their blessings to Sean Livingston.

Livingston suffered what may be the worst injury in the NBA in a home game last week, and the scene of the injury was even classified as restricted. He shattered his knee on an unguarded layup and flipped his entire foot over.

There are even rumors that there is a risk of amputation.

The news made the entire league jittery.

Lakers fans asked the Lakers not to overuse Bruce Lee on various occasions. Die-hard Lakers fans and famous rapper Snoopy even publicly shouted: If the Lakers don’t make good use of Bruce Lee, he will put all the Lakers coaches in a popular song. Among the diss songs in the United States.

However, in the game against the Clippers. The rapper who kept saying that he wanted to DISS the Lakers coaching staff joined the cheering array of Lakers fans when the team fell into desperation. He shouted in the fourth quarter: Bruce! Bruce! Bruce! !

Because at this time, the Lakers have been made to cry by the Clippers. Although the old captain Elton Brand is not tall enough, the little shark with his back-to-body skills cares about one thing and loses another. His height of more than seven feet is completely reduced to an ATM in the penalty area.

Bynum played a few good minutes in the first half, and his high-low combination with Lamar Odom and Luke Walton gave Lakers fans some glimmers of hope.

But after entering the second half of the third quarter, he inexplicably felt that he could do it. He wants to be free from the assistance of Odom and Luke Walton, and he wants to play superstar basketball. So, Captain Elton beat the killer and taught him to be a man with skillful skills.

In addition, Luke Wharton was also quite uncomfortable by Maggette. As for Lamar, his mind wandered intermittently again.

This three-high lineup is about to fall apart.

Lakers fans began to shout Bruce's name... With Li Zhen's brave performance in the previous game, more and more Lakers fans regarded him as the most reassuring player after Kobe.

Although he is still a rookie, everyone believes that as long as he plays, he can stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the decline.

Even in this game, Bruce didn't play very well. Without Kobe Bryant on the court, all the Clippers' defensive attention is on Li Zhen, which makes his running no longer calm and his passing threat is also declining.

However, since he gained a lot from the Wizards' depraved trio plus dunk king Mason in the last game, he still has some advantages when facing the old cat Mobley and the alien Sam Cassell.

In the third minute of the fourth quarter, Zen Master finally couldn't resist the raging public opinion.

He asked Li Zhen to go into battle.

And bring his elite team: Vujacic, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown.

Two foreign mercenaries, and the hardcore Dynasty Mahan: brainless and unhappy.

With Kobe Bryant out, the split in the Lakers locker room became more apparent. Visible to the naked eye is divided into two camps, Andrew Bynum, Smash Parker, Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Jordan Farmer these people belong to the same camp.

These people all think that their interests have been damaged because of Li Zhen's arrival. Needless to say, the two direct competitors, Jordan Farmer and Smash Parker, Andrew Bynum's jealousy is also well known. The reason why Odom and Luke Walton did not interact with Li Zhen is also because their tactical low positions are rapidly declining. These two are forwards with supporting and organizational attributes. Before Li Zhen came, they and Kobe Leant has a very close interaction between the strong and weak sides, and the point guard is directly reduced to tasteless.

However, with the arrival of Li Zhen, who has a stronger organizational talent, their ball rights have declined visibly to the naked eye.

Therefore, they naturally formed an ally relationship with Bynum.

Frankly speaking, they played well in the first half of this game, and they withstood the Clippers, who were sure to win. And it also filled in some holes for Li Zhen's lineup.

But in the second half, he still couldn't hold it due to various reasons.

Therefore, Li Zhen led his team to appear on the stage again amidst the calls of the fans.

"This guy can't handle this. He's going to disgrace anyone who calls his name."

Smash Parker said swearingly on the bench.

Bynum nodded again and again, and the other players looked at the court as if they were watching a joke.

However, Li Zhen once again let him down.

When the old Mobley stepped forward to defend Li Chen, Li Zhen just made a quick change of direction to unscrew his defense, and invaded the three-point line like lightning. And then ... he hit the first pull-up jumper of the game. (Before that, he was 1 for 5.)

This made the Clippers' defense encounter great challenges.

Their previous defensive strategy was to shrink the penalty area to prevent Li Zhen from quickly intruding.

But as he hits a jumper in the high post, all the previously constructed chemistry is overturned.

When Maggette's shot was interfered by Radmanovic from beyond the three-point line, he slid out of the basket and was grabbed by Kwame Brown.

Li Zhen took the pass and launched a lightning fast break.

At this time... the Clippers' heavy troops have been a little out of tune. Their defensive positions are becoming more and more loose, and Li Zhen's ability to capture offensive opportunities in chaos is the best in the world.

He made a pick-and-roll with Eddie Griffin at the top of the three-point arc, quickly penetrated a step in and caught Vujacic running out of space on the left side, and his basketball was passed to Sasha in the next second.

Vujacic received the basketball comfortably, just like training on the training ground, he opened his hand and shot... Shua!

3 credits.

After Bruce came on the field, he scored 5 points in a row and instantly tied the score.

The cheers in the arena lasted for a long time, and Bruce was once again sought after by all Lakers fans.

This made Bynum and others very upset.

"They took advantage of us. If we hadn't dragged the Clippers into the quagmire and played exhausted, they wouldn't have gotten so many offensive opportunities."

Bynum complained to the old coach Winter very upset.

Old Winter smiled and nodded, but said nothing.

Bynum and others feel more and more disadvantaged.

Why did Li Zhen and others pick the peaches based on the foundation I worked so hard to build?

One by one, the more they think about it, the more angry they become.

However, the court showed a destructive trend. Li Zhen led the running and bombing and directly smashed the aging Clippers... The dense attack net of thunder and fire made them unable to defend when they were weak. Bruce was too cunning , His passing was fast, accurate and ruthless, and two European mercenaries completed the transformation of marksmen under his hands. And Kwame and Eddie Griffin, the two of them just slammed the basketball in.

Coupled with Li Zhen who is becoming more and more elusive.

Can't play anymore.

Coach Mike Dunleavy had no choice but to raise the white flag with 2 minutes left in the game.

Originally they wanted to take advantage of Kobe's absence to regain lost ground, but... Bruce is too thief.

"I can say responsibly that he is getting stronger and stronger." The old cat Mobley maintained a fair view after the game: "He is at least 30% stronger than when we first met. His physical fitness is in the NBA The increase is amazing. Those commentators who think he is useless should put away their arrogance. He scored 10 points and 12 assists tonight, which is already the level of a quasi-first-class point guard."

Compliments from a counterpoint are more authoritative than any expert commentary.

In fact, experts can no longer influence public opinion as much as they once did.

Because the Li Chen brand has introduced Nike's investment, they already have more resources to promote. When the video highlights of Bruce Lee can be seen everywhere on the Internet, when the five best balls repeatedly show his exquisite passing and arrogant lore. Those 'Bruce Lee is useless' remarks have long since lost their market.

Still, the resigned critics found new jobs. They began to judge that Li Zhen would never be able to beat Brandon Roy to become the best rookie.

The voice that Li Zhen will be the best rookie in the new season came from Los Angeles. The happy Lakers fans certainly hope that their new favorite of the team can get the best rookie.

However, this was originally a small-scale discussion.

But when those critics satirized, it immediately became a full-scale comparison.

Brandon Roy, who averaged 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, is leading the Blazers to get rid of the reputation of "Portland Prison", although the record is not as good as the Lakers. But he does have a chance to become the second super rookie to score 20+5+5 in his rookie season since LeBron James.

In fact, after he played two regular-season games. The media couldn't wait to put the hat of "Best Rookie" on this University of Washington senior.

At that time, Bruce Lee was still regarded by the mainstream media in the basketball circle as a parallel importer and a useless waste, mocking him that he would be bought out by the Lakers in the middle of the season and go to Hollywood to develop.

At that time, the season was only a third of the way through. Bruce Lee averaged 7.6 points, 8.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. He has long established a firm foothold in the NBA, and has become the second only to Kobe Bryant in the eyes of Lakers fans.

Those sarcasms can no longer form an effect, and will even backlash against those who speak badly.

Therefore, they can only compare Li Zhen with Brandon Roy, and then have a strong sense of psychological superiority.

However, when the data is fully spread out.

People actually discovered that Bruce Lee did not seem to lose too much.

Especially in terms of assists, he actually ranked sixth in the league? In front of him are Steve Nash with 11.6 per game, Deron Williams with 10.2 per game, Jason Kidd with 9.6, Chris Paul with 9.2 and TJ Ford with 9.0.

The first four are the four best point guards in the league today. TJ Ford also holds the power in the Raptors, and their average playing time is at least twice that of Li Zhen. In terms of efficiency, Li Chen's assist rate per unit time actually ranks first.

Those critics are undoubtedly shooting themselves in the foot.

They had started to be sarcastic about this matter before, but they didn't expect that Li Zhen was a bit inferior when compared with the data, but the gap was not as big as they described. And, he began to gain a firm spot in this year's All-Rookie Team.

When the sports media began to compete with Li Zhen for the best rookie, the entertainment media finally revealed the relationship.

Hilary Duff showed off the red string on her wrist when she appeared at the opening ceremony of "Gold Digger", and told the media in a bragging tone: "Bruce's mother gave it to me."

This moment ignited attention.

When the reporter's questions flooded her, she finally admitted half-heartedly: "We are all getting ready for the first date."

Wow!

super big news.

Public opinion in California was boiling.

The up-and-coming star of the Lakers and the superstar of the music industry, Bruce Lee, has finally found himself in the boudoir of Disney's sweetheart princess?
