The God of Basketball

No matter from which angle, LeBron James is a terrifying opponent.
Not only does he possess formidable physical attributes, but his court understanding is top notch...not at all like a high school graduate.
The scariest thing is that he is far more self-disciplined and motivated than other superstars.
Such a person is absolutely appropriate to be called the chosen son of the American basketball world.
When LeBron James launched a violent attack from the three-point line with the ball, Li Zhen instantly discovered that this terrifying guy had improved again.
Even if he led the team to the finals last season, he still didn't make him complacent, and then he was complacent.
His body has become larger, but his muscles are more detailed. Judging from his breakthrough moves alone, it is very likely that the average score of his physical talents has reached 95. The most important thing is that his rhythm of holding the ball has improved significantly. Last season, he was extremely open and close. This season has become relatively delicate... The risk of walking has declined visible to the naked eye.
And when he rushed into the paint area, he made a sudden stop and threw the basketball into the basket with a stable but slightly stiff posture.
Li Zhen looked at each other with admiration.
There are many talented people in the NBA, and there are not no players with physical talents close to James, but... there are very few players like him who can rise to a higher level in a season.
"I even think that LeBron James' personal ability has surpassed Kobe Bryant." Charles Barkley admired sincerely in the live broadcast room.
In this regard, Kenny Smith surprisingly did not object. But he insisted: "I can only say that if the game reaches a critical moment, I will give the ball to LeBron."
"Of course. I'll do the same." Charles quickly reached an agreement with Kenny. "After all, James is not a Kobe-style player, he is in his own class."
In the next round, Li Zhen also showed his progress.
He and Eddie Griffin quickly penetrated into the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and as Drew Gooden shrunk back to defend, Li Zhen chose to stop and shoot a jumper. The added 4 points of power allowed him to hit the basketball steadily.
Four points in a row.
"Bruce began to show his minions on the offensive end." Kenny Smith was very excited. He understood the meaning of this ball far better than the fans watching: "Once Bruce becomes difficult to defend, his assists will be everywhere. And, he He won't just limit himself to a fast offensive and defensive rhythm. I believe that in time, Bruce will become a strong opponent of LeBron James. It may even surpass LeBron."
Barkley agrees with the first half of Kenny Smith, the second half he feels Kenny is bragging.
"Don't forget that while Bruce is improving, LeBron is also improving. Moreover, LeBron's talent is far better than Bruce Lee. He will never surpass LeBron."
"And, 20-year-old Bruce will live in the shadow of 23-year-old LeBron James for a long time."
Charles Barkley even kindly reminded Kenny: "I think you should compare Bruce with a point guard. He will grow into a super point guard, which is visible to the naked eye. But man, LeBron is one of the two big names in the league. He came into the NBA to dominate the NBA. Stop making jokes like Michael Jordan."
While Charles Barkley was speaking, James assisted Ilgauskas on a jumper with a breakout.
He showed his game without scruples, although the Knicks' Jeff Reese is a good defensive player, Eddie Griffin's help defense is also doing a good job, and even Zach is actively covering. But he is still able to calmly complete the precise guidance of the pass.
That's the energy of a superstar.
It is also the reason why he can be called the chosen son of the NBA. All his software and hardware are designed to rule the NBA.
At the same time, Li Zhen came to the frontcourt with the ball again.
Mike Brown on the sidelines has already yelled desperately,
Order Larry Hughes to block Li Zhen with his body.
Larry Hughes did this, but his physical strength was not enough to knock Li Zhen down. Moreover, the price of this risky behavior is... Li Zhen achieved it overnight and passed the defense like lightning... As Larry Hughes said, defense is not only a confrontation of strength, but also all talents such as speed, explosive power, agility, coordination, etc. doing support.
When Larry Hughes puts all his eggs in one basket, he is doomed to fail.
Larry Hughes hadn't fought Li Chen for a season. He never dreamed that Li Zhen, who was weak before, could withstand his own impact, and he didn't even take a step back, but quickly completed the assault with a flash of his body.
His astonishment bordered on shock.
This level of improvement is... much more amazing than LeBron James.
He quickly developed a clear understanding in his heart that he is the person on the court who knows the progress of LeBron and Li Zhen best.
And, he began to calculate the simplest math problem: If Bruce Lee's talent has no upper limit, according to this catch-up speed, it only takes about three seasons for Bruce to surpass LeBron James.
God!
When he was shocked by the thought.
Li Zhen broke into the penalty area and handed the ball to Zach Randolph.
Randolph subconsciously didn't shoot directly after receiving the ball, but feinted and went straight into the paint, using his flexible little pier to squeeze the slow-moving Ilgauskas and put the basketball into the basket.
After the goal, Randolph was very excited, and even threatened LeBron James: I will eat you tonight.
This remark drew cheers from the audience on the sidelines.
New York fans are getting more and more fond of this 'talking' jerk.
The Knicks need such a No. 1 man.
...
The game continues.
LeBron James still shoulders the offense and defense. He is like a menacing giant axe, constantly breaking through the Knicks' defense, and then completing the offense or tandem.
However, the Knicks here. Li Zhen no longer actively fell into the singles, he frequently sent the basketball into the paint, he asked Zach Randolph to singles Ilgauskas... This is an obvious misplaced advantage.
Zach also showed a different pattern at this time. When he fell into a double-team, he actually sent the basketball out on his own initiative, allowing Li Zhen to organize again.
Li Zhen can always find an open teammate in the first place, either by letting Jeff Rees cut for a layup, or by letting Eddie Griffin make a jump shot from the outside. The most important thing is to hand over the basketball to Crawford and let him single out Pavnovic...even if he doesn't feel very good tonight.
In this way, Li Zhen consumes very little physical energy.
He doesn't even take the ball sometimes, and let his teammates play half-court offense comfortably.
Due to Zach Randolph's excellent performance, coupled with Jeff Reese and Eddie Griffin maintaining efficient defense on the flanks, even though LeBron James scored 13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, the Knicks only managed to 24:28 behind by 4 points.
"This game gave me a strange feeling. I felt like I was watching a sequel to last season's Eastern Conference finals. The Cavaliers were still LeBron rampaging, and the Knicks actually played team offense and team defense." Earl Johnson of TNT Can't help but say.
This feeling was verified to a greater extent in the second quarter.
When Stephen Marbury replaced Li Zhen and walked off the court, Crawford became Quentin Richardson, the Knicks still continued their stable output, except that the basketball rotation was not as smooth as when Li Zhen was on the court.
But the Cavaliers are also on the second unit.
Therefore, in the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Knicks even overtook the score.
LeBron James hurriedly re-dressed.
The appearance of the Chosen One brought stronger momentum to the Cavaliers, the points were quickly recovered, and the lead was established.
However, it is surprising.
Isiah Thomas stood there indifferently, he did not make any personnel adjustments.
"I can't see through Isiah Thomas more and more. He even started to have a handsome demeanor." Charles Barkley was surprised in the studio.
He didn't expect Isiah Thomas to be so calm.
However, what he didn't know was.
Isiah Thomas doesn't pay attention to the situation on the field at all. He just stands there thinking about life and what to do next. As for the suspension of substitutions?
When a substitution was needed, Bruce would stand up. Jamie Lin will also pay attention to the situation.
Even if they don't think there is a problem now, then there must be no problem.
beep!
When the halftime whistle blew.
56:50.
The Cavaliers led by 6 points.
But none of the fans in the Madison Gardens were worried about this. They watched this game with great calmness.
Everyone is aware of a sober fact: The Knicks really got stronger. Especially the depth of the second team is far deeper than last season. Before the game, who would have imagined that Bruce sat on the bench for a quarter of the game, David Lee and Swift, the two forwards who performed well last season, really didn't appear in the first half, and the Knicks could still play against the Cavaliers Are they evenly matched?
D'Antoni, who was sitting in front of the TV, looked stunned, and the Randolph data displayed on the screen made him dumbfounded. 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in the half?
Is this still Randolph? He played me there in the preseason.
Also puzzled are the Portland Trail Blazers. They thought they had gotten rid of a long-term salary burden and locker room cancer, but they didn't expect... to let themselves go in the Knicks.
What is this?
Punch Reid even wanted to give himself two big mouths, but I actually took him for a change? (The Blazers bought out Francis after trading him, and the Rockets then gave Francis a two-year contract.)
When all kinds of viewers in front of the TV watched the commercials, they had imaginations about the first half of the game.
There was an episode in the arena.
LeBron James was provoked by two crazy Knicks fans when he exited the court. The two white men wearing the No. 10 jersey shouted at LeBron in unison above the player tunnel: "Sucks!! LeBron, your era It’s not here yet, it’s coming to an end. The future belongs to us Bruce Lee. The Bruce Lee Dynasty is officially here, and the Chosen One has fallen from the altar!!!”
These words undoubtedly made LeBron extremely angry.
Everyone saw his hands clenched into fists.
But his excellent self-cultivation prevented him from attacking the fans, but soon, there was a muffled sound in the player tunnel.
LeBron kicked a trash can.
It was the last thing he liked to hear.
This past offseason has put him under a lot of pressure, and his hairline has risen a lot as a result.
The composition of the Big Three of the Celtics made him realize that the eastern throne he just occupied is likely to be taken back by the group of old guys, as well as the Knicks, who have been messing with his mind and saying some things In practical terms, what did Li Zhen say would replace him. Isn't this crazy talk?
The old is old, the small is small.
Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
LeBron gritted his teeth.
He is not sure about playing the Celtics, but can he still be bullied by the Knicks?
When he walked into the locker room, the first thing he did was to tell Mike Brown: "In the second half, I hope to get a single defense against Bruce Lee. I want to block him completely!!"
Mike Brown was worrying about how to restrict Li Zhen in the second half. Larry Hughes had been emphasizing to him that Li Zhen had made great progress and was very difficult to defend.
Now that LeBron is willing to stand up, he is exactly what he wants.
But after thinking about it, LeBron still has to do his best on the offensive end, while focusing on the core of the Knicks on the defensive end.
So, he just promised: "I will let you complete the complete blockade of him at the critical moment."
good!
James nodded resolutely.
He thought that as a tiger, it was time to slap Knicks, a buzzing fly, and he must not give Knicks any more illusions, otherwise they would continue to toss endlessly.
Only in this way can he concentrate on preparing for the life-and-death struggle with the lions in Boston.
In James' eyes, he has never regarded Li Zhen as an opponent, and his goal has always been the Celtics and the Lakers.
