Chapter 219: : [The Best Rookie Contest]


The first game of the Purple Army after Kobe Bryant ’s injury came soon, and they appeared at the Staples Arena as an away team.
Although this Derby in the same city is the home of the Clippers, it is clear that the people who cheer on Bruce far exceed the fans who cheer on the Clippers: This is a very real situation in Los Angeles. The Clippers ’status in the City of Angels is even To be behind the wnba spark team.
Before the start of the game, both players blessed Sean Livingston.
Livingston suffered the most unbearable injury in the home game last week. The picture of the injury was even classified as a restricted level. He broke his knee in an unguarded layup and his entire foot turned over.
Now there is even a risk of amputation.
The news made the whole league buzz.
The Lakers fans even asked the Lakers not to overuse Bruce Lee on all occasions. Hardcore Lakers fans, famous rapper Snoopy, and even the public shouted: If the Lakers do not use Bruce well, he will put all the Lakers coaches into a popular In the nation's diss songs.
However, in the game against the Clippers. The rap guy who said to diss the Lakers coaching staff when the team fell into desperation, still joined the shouting array of the Lakers fans, he shouted in the fourth quarter: brue! Brue! brue! !
Because at this time, the Lakers have been made cry by the Clippers. Although the old captain Elton Brand was not tall enough, a small shark with his back on his back missed each other, and his height of more than seven feet was completely reduced to an ATM in the restricted area.
Bynum played a good few minutes in the first half. His cooperation with Lamar Odom and Luke Wharton gave the Lakers fans some hope.
But after entering the second half of the third quarter, he inexplicably felt that he was OK. He wants to leave the assistance of Odom and Luke Wharton, he wants to play superstar basketball. So Captain Elton gave the killer a pain and taught him how to be a man with his skill.
In addition, Luke Walton was also very uncomfortable by Maggette. As for Lamar, he went intermittently again.
This three-high lineup is about to fall apart.
Lakers fans started shouting Bruce ’s name ... With Li Zhen ’s brave play 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 thinks that as long as he plays, he can stabilize the military and stabilize his decline.
Even in this game, Bruce did not play very well. Kobe Bryant was not present, all the Clippers' defensive attention was focused on Li Zhen, which made his running no longer calm, and his passing threat was also declining.
However, due to the fact that he gained a lot from the Wizards' degenerate three-person reality and dunk king Mason in the last game, he still has some advantages when facing old cat Mobley and alien Sam Kassel.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, Zen Master finally couldn't resist the fierce public opinion.
He put Li Zhen into battle.
And bring his elite team: Vujacic, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown.
Two foreign mercenaries, as well as the hard-core dynasty Mahan: headless and unhappy.
With Kobe Bryant injured, the split in the Lakers locker room became more apparent. The visible division is divided into two camps, Andrew Bynum, Smash Park, Lamar Odom, Luke Wharton, Jordan Farmar are these camps.
These people believe that their interests have been damaged because of Li Zhen's arrival. Needless to say, the two direct competitors Jordan Farmar and Smash Parker, Andrew Bynum's jealousy is also well known. The reason why Odom and Luke Wharton do not interact with Li Zhen is also because their tactical low position is rapidly declining. Both of these are forwards with coping and organizational attributes. Before Li Zhen did not arrive, they and Kobe Linet interacted very closely with the weak and strong sides, and the point guard was directly reduced to tasteless.
However, with the arrival of Li Zhen, a more talented organization, their ball rights are visibly declining.
Therefore, they naturally formed an alliance with Bynum.
Frankly speaking, they played well in the first half of the game and withstood the Clippers who would win. And also filled some pits for Li Zhen's lineup.
But in the second half, I still couldn't hold it for various reasons.
So, Li Zhen led his team to appear again in the call of the fans.
"This guy can't handle this situation. He will soon make those who shout his name lose face."
Smash Park said vowedly on the bench.
Bynum nodded to the side, and other players looked at the court with a joke.
However, Li Zhen once again disappointed him.
At that time, Mobley stepped forward to defend Li Zhen. Li Zhen just twisted his defense with a quick change of direction and invaded the three-point line like lightning. Then ... he hit the first emergency stop jumper of the game. (Before that, he shot 1 of 5.)
This makes the Clippers' defense very challenging.
Their previous defensive strategy was to shrink the restricted area to prevent Li Zhen from quickly invading.
But as he hit a jumper in the high post, all the previously constructed chemical reactions were pushed down.
When Maggette's shot was disturbed by Radmanovic outside the three-point line, the basket went out and was grabbed by Kwame Brown.
Li Zhen took the pass and spurred the lightning fast break.
At this point ... the Clippers' heavy troops were already somewhat out of step. Their defensive positions are becoming more and more loose, and Li Zhen ’s ability to catch offensive opportunities in chaos is the first in the world.
He made a pick-and-roll with Eddie Griffin at the top of the three-point arc, quickly infiltrated one step and caught Vujacic running out of the space on the left, and his basketball passed to Sasha in the next second.
Vujacic received the basketball comfortably, just like training on the training ground, the open hand was thrown ...
3 credits.
Bruce scored 5 consecutive points after playing, and instantly tied the score.
Cheers in the arena kept enduring, and Bruce was once again sought after by all Lakers fans.
This makes Bynum and others very uncomfortable.
"They took advantage of us. If we weren't exhausted from dragging the Clippers into the quagmire, they wouldn't get so many offensive opportunities."
Bynum complained to the old Winter coach very eagerly.
Old Winter nodded with a smile, but said nothing.
Bynum and others felt increasingly disadvantaged.
Why did Li Zhen and others pick the peach on the basis of his hard work?
The more one thinks, the more angry.
However, the stadium showed a destructive trend. Li Zhen caused Run Heng to directly crush the draped old Clippers ... The dense attack network of the sky and the fire made them unable to defend, and Bruce was too cunning. His pass was fast, accurate and ruthless, and two European mercenaries completed the transformation of the marksman under his hands. There are also Kwame and Eddie Griffin, both of them banged and smashed when they got the basketball.
Plus Li Zhen, who is getting more and more haunted.
Can't play anymore.
Coach Mike Dunleavy raised his white flag helplessly with 2 minutes left in the game.
They originally wanted to regain the lost ground while Kobe was not there, but ... Bruce was a thief.
"I can say responsibly that he is getting stronger." The old cat Mobley maintained a fair view after the game: "He is at least 30% stronger than when he first met. His physical fitness is in nba Under the level of training, the increase is amazing. Those commentators who think he is useless should take away their arrogance. He scored 10 points and 12 assists tonight, which is already the level of a quasi-first point guard. "
The compliment of the opponent is more authoritative than any expert comment.
In fact, experts can no longer influence public opinion as before.
Because after the Li Zhen brand introduced Nike's investment, they already had more resources to promote it. When Bruce Lee's video highlights can be seen everywhere on the Internet, when the five best repeatedly appear his exquisite passes and arrogant lore. Those ‘Bruce Lee is useless’ statements have long had no market.
But those reluctant critics still found new jobs. They began to judge that Li Zhen could never beat Brandon Roy to become the best rookie.
The voice about Li Zhen becoming the best rookie in the new season was passed from Los Angeles. Of course, happy Lakers fans hope that their team's new favorite can get the best rookie.
However, this was originally a small-scale discussion.
But when the critics satirized, it immediately became an all-round comparison.
Brandon Roy, who is averaging 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals, is leading the Blazers to get rid of the reputation of the "Portland Prison", although the record is not as good as the Lakers. But he does have the opportunity to become the second rookie season after LeBron James to get 20 + 5 + 5 super rookie.
In fact, after he played two regular season games. The media can't wait to put the 'best rookie' hat on the senior of the University of Washington.
At that time, Bruce Lee was also regarded by the mainstream media of the basketball circle as a counterfeit and useless. It was ironic that he would go to Hollywood before the Lakers bought the contract in the middle of the season.
At that time, the season has just passed one third. Bruce Lee averaged 7.6 points, 8.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He has long established himself in the NBA and has become the Lakers fan's second-best presence in the minds of Kobe Bryant.
Those satires no longer have an effect, and they will even gobble up those who speak poorly.
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 have lost much.
Especially the assists, he actually ranked sixth in the league? In front of him are Steve Nash averaging 11.6 times, Deron Williams averaging 10.2 times, Jason Kidd 9.6 times, Chris Paul 9.2 times, Tj Ford 9.0 times.
The first four are the best four point guards in the league today. Tj Ford is also the dominant player in the Raptors, and their average playing time is at least twice that of Li Zhen. In terms of efficiency, Li Zhen ranked first in assist rate per unit time.
Those critics undoubtedly lifted stones and hit their feet.
They also started to take the irony of this matter before. Unexpectedly, when comparing the data, although Li Zhen was somewhat inferior, the gap was not as big as they described. And, he started to stand firm for the rookie roster this year.
While the sports media began to compete with Li Zhen against the best rookies, the entertainment media finally revealed their love affair.
Hilary Duff showed up the red string on her wrist when she appeared at the boot ceremony of "Gold Worship", and told the media with a show of conviction: "This was given to me by Bruce's mother."
This moment detonated attention.
When the reporter's question hit her all over the place, she finally admitted halfway: "We are all preparing for our first date."
Wow!
Super big news.
Public opinion in California is boiling.
The rising star of the Lakers and superstar Bruce Lee of the music scene has finally become famous. Has it fallen into the boudoir of Disney's Sweetheart Princess?
