Chapter 496: : [Pretending to be cute]

After defeating the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks ushered in the baptism of the top three in the West.
First the San Antonio Spurs, then the Denver Nuggets, then the Lakers.
San Antonio has now settled in third place in the West, and they seem to have little interest in the second seat in the West.
Despite the deep grievances between the Spurs and the Bruce classmates, Tony Parker even claimed that Bruce was his most hated player in the NBA... However, under the control of the old gangster Popovich, there was still no attack.
They are habitually recuperating before the playoffs... Compared to the fierce competition in the regular season, they hope to snipe the old opponents Mavericks and the new Lakers in the playoffs.
The honors of the regular season have been exhausted for them, and the playoffs are the battlefield of these old fritters.
"Meet again. Bruce Bowen."
Before the match started, Li Zhen asked Mr. Bowen to say hello. This is the ninth match where Bowen recovered.
But he felt that Li Zhen had changed.
Li Zhen seems to be more active than before.
This activity upsets him, because Li Zhen told him: "Are you going to use an elbow to measure the hardness of my ribs tonight? Or, stretch out a black foot?"
Li Zhen's words were full of expectations.
This expectation made Bruce Bowen, the old Yin Yin, very uncomfortable, and felt that his authority was provoked...After all, the most proud thing in his life was to cause fear in his heart through various malicious injuries, let The opponent doesn't know when he will play black hands and stretch black feet.
Li Zhen turned out to be good.
Come up and take the initiative to ask for a yin.
Did you feel very unsuccessful?
And when the game starts.
Li Zhen is actively seeking for alignment.
That kind of eager look was like a zoo monkey seeing a banana, which made Bruce Bowen feel uncomfortable for a while.
And more uncomfortable than him is Tony Parker.
Mr. Parker was ignored, he hated this feeling, he vowed to make Li look good. However, the French man did his best to stop Li Zhen's footsteps. He was surprised to find that Li Zhen had already surpassed him in all directions, especially the kind of layup after the spin... How could this guy hit the penalty zone so high?
When he was surprised, the Zachrandorf deliberately ran against him: "Hey, Mr. Parker. If you really can't defend him, you can lick him twice with your tongue, anyway, the mouth of your French man The best."
Randolph is an outright slut.
This made Tony Parker quite angry, he wanted to give Randolph a little color when he was angry. As a result, he went alone and entered the penalty zone to get fouls on Randolph.
As a result, Randolph did not treat him at all, and directly suppressed it with fat...di!
The referee's whistle sounded Randolph Gan.
He didn't care about fouls at all.
He even told Tony Parker that the crushed teeth were grinning: "Why, do you like the ones below so much?"
Tony Parker was even more angry.
He was so angry that he missed a free throw.
And in the next round, Popovich simply replaced him.
The playoffs are approaching, and the Spurs don't want to shoot out of the season. In case Randolph's really crushed the French sports car, the Spurs' playoff journey was very passive.
Bruce Bowen has not arranged to defend Li Zhen.
The Spurs played very conservatively, even a "I'm here to lose" posture.
The Knicks are quite helpless.
Especially Li Zhen, he thought...what a special thing, I also count on Bowen to get some black hands and black feet, so that my talents will be improved. As a result, you became a tortoise. Boring! Boring!
Li Zhen is very uncomfortable.
"We can't go on like this!!"
Isaiah Thomas published a famous pretense quotation when he was suspended in the first quarter: "We also want to be on the bench, we also need to exercise the rotation. We are not like a strong team, why can Popovich be capricious, I can not??"
The smiling assassin's soul asks.
Everyone is a little ignorant.
Then, he made his own claims and personally sent Lamon Sessions, Matt Barnes, Francisco Garcia, Swift and Foyer to the court.
This is probably the first time he has actively adjusted players since his winning streak.
As the first pretender of Big Apple City, he never allowed Popovich's old thief to be even higher in front of him. Don’t you play rotation? Isn't it the main force that pretends to be reserved? Isn't it just to improve the forced sword to the playoffs? Who won't!
What everyone did not think of was.
The Knicks' pure bench lineup was indistinguishable from the Spurs' rotation.
Ramon Sessions is old-fashioned and has a somewhat classic point guard posture.
In contrast, the Spurs' Yuduka is simply a child in front of him.
Popovich is very sad. He always thinks that the Spurs' rotation team is second to none in the league. Isaiah Thomas has messed up and made such a strong lineup.
Ramon Sessions, a rookie, can relax and sort out the offense. Matt Barnes, as always, has a tougher defense and is much stronger than Brent Barry. There is also Francisco Garcia, whose three-point score is more accurate than that of old Barry and Old Horry combined.
Although Swift replaced his bounce with his IQ, he even portrayed a little tactical path in his mind, and Mark Bonner was actually upset by the square he made.
There is also Foyer, who is quite satisfactory, but Mohammed is also very uncomfortable.
So, in the second quarter, the Spurs were defeated. If it were not for the second half, they would use Ginobili to go up for a while, and they would be behind double digits in the half.
At the beginning of the second half, the two sides played with the starting lineup for a while.
But the two teams are starting iron.
None have a good feel.
As a result, the rotation was replaced.
The two teams were so consumed.
The two head coaches have come and gone, and the two head coaches seem to be frustrated.
Rushing to the fourth quarter, Quentin Richardson used two explosive three-point jumpers to widen the point difference to double digits, and then the Spurs never pushed the score to single digits.
111:100.
The Knicks won this unconventional victory.
The winning streak was further expanded to 25 games.
This is not only the first straight win in the history of the Knicks, but also the second straight win in the league's history. It is 8 games away from the 33 straight wins created by the Lakers in 1972... The Knicks cannot be broken this season because there are only seven games in the regular season.
and so.
"We don't care about winning streak at all."
"We are a strong playoff team."
"That's why Bruce Lee only played 8 minutes tonight, Zakrandorf played 11 minutes, and Eddie Griffin played 12 minutes. We want to exercise our rotation more than the Spurs. In fact, it also proves that the league The first is the alliance first."
Speaking of which, Isaiah Thomas paused for a moment. He came to the press conference with a tactical back, and said with a strong voice: "Strength builds classics, the king is no accident. Players may have parallels, but the ace Coach, there is no falsehood!"
Pappappapap!
There was loud applause at the scene.
Now the smiling Assassin is also a fan of the big Apple City.
Many reporters like this unspoken but amazing head coach, and even the outspoken media flattery: When it comes to doing, it is Isaiah Thomas's way of coaching!
This sentence made Thomas very happy, and even let people write it down, framed it in Chinese calligraphy and hung it on the wall of his office.
When James Dolan asked, he did not forget to say humbly: "I always use this sentence to encourage myself, I feel that I have not done enough. Whenever I am humble and complacent, I will look at it... "
Wow!
James Dolan was full of little stars at the time, and he felt that Isaiah Thomas said everything and was charming.
Isaiah Thomas loves this feeling of being worshipped.
He didn't like others teaching him how to do things...except Bruce.
"Popovich is a good head coach. He met Tim Duncan, just like I met Bruce Lee. However, I am still a little better than him. I hope he can continue to work hard and can achieve some results in the West. It would be better if we could meet us in the finals at the end of May."
amount…….
When Isaiah Thomas said this.
Everyone was surprised.
Everyone was shocked, shocked Isaiah Thomas even said the words to reach the finals. This...this...happiness came too suddenly.
The New York reporter was very pleasantly surprised.
They didn't even doubt if Isaiah Thomas was talking big, because... he was the man who did it.
"Isn't it the minimum requirement for the league to enter the finals?"
Thomas spread his palms in a domineering gesture.
Click! Click!
The spotlight flashes continuously.
The freeze screen was quickly sent to all parts of the United States and became the cover of major basketball media... Isaiah Thomas said: Entering the finals is the Knicks' minimum requirement! !
Such titles are endless.
In the vast east.
With the exception of New York, there are ridicule positions.
They don't think the Knicks can reach the finals, especially Cleveland and Boston.
The Cleveland people are thinking: you Knicks into the finals? What should I do with the Son of Heaven?
Boston is more arrogant: do you reach the finals? Isn't our Big Three a white team?
In addition, there is Orlando. It is also all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Of course, even more eager to try are the teams that are fiercely competing for the eighth in the East.
I don't know which ribs these teams have missed. They even want to play against the Knicks. They are all lard-covered and want to go crazy.
Therefore, the situation in the second half of the eastern part is very strange now, and the sixth place is starting to squander... It’s really unknowingly high.
Compared with the cynicism of the east, the west is actually supportive.
On the one hand, it may be that the Knicks are weak, so bully.
On the other hand, Kobe Bryant is particularly looking forward to the 24vs10 play code, even before the All-Star game, he showed such an idea.
...
When Isaiah Thomas's buzzword caused a sensation in the entire league, Li Zhen stayed at the training ground very actively.
Although Kenny Smith has been preaching public opinion that he has become a superstar, he knows better than anyone in his heart that he has not reached this level.
There are two main reasons.
First, his physical fitness and strength, including bouncing, are still not top-notch, and his total talents are not in the top-notch sequence.
Second, the talents in his body are not perfectly integrated. This resulted in no significant improvement in his shooting percentage. Although much better than before. However, there are few talented pressure players like McGrady. If there is no such player to stimulate, the fusion speed will be quite satisfactory and will not be fast.
Therefore, Li Zhen can only throw sweat at the training hall and quickly irrigate the talent space.
...
The Denver Nuggets are currently in the eighth in the West, but only one advantage from the ninth in the West. So their playoff seats are not completely stable.
To be honest, such a result is a bit of a shame for the Nuggets' ultra-luxury lineup.
The golden double guns, plus the luxurious restricted zone equipment, even if the dog is tied in the coach seat, it will not be scared for the playoff tickets.
But George Karl did it.
Moreover, he even made a rant: "Isaiah Thomas is simply not qualified to be the best coach of the year."
This sentence was a serious offense to the first prettier little apple in Big Apple City, and the smiling assassin stopped smiling.
He told Time Warner reporters with a serious face: "The matter of the best coach, also got a head coach of the playoff edge team to judge?"
Then, in the locker room, he strongly supervised: "Nuggets must be won tonight, and they must be brought home with frustrated tears! We want to help the Golden State Warriors! David Lee will always be our little brother! !"
amount….
"Don't you say that in the last few games, the exercise rotation lineup?" Zack questioned. He has been lazy recently and is planning to take the opportunity to laze a few games. As a result, Isaiah changed.
"No way, the Denver people are too rude!" Isaiah Thomas stressed angrily.
Then, he specifically asked Zach Randolf to go out and chat for a while, "Which of human dignity and commitment is more important?"
Although Zack doesn't understand dignity very much, he has no concept of commitment.
But it was Isaiah Thomas who promised to give him the gold club super vip to ignite his fighting power.
"You said that there was this, what did you do with me. Can you finish it."
Randolph must have been a Northeastern in his last life.
Isaiah Thomas patted Randolph's stomach and emphasized: "Go again after the playoffs."
"Must!" Randolph snapped his chest. "No one knows the promise better than I do."
Having settled Randolph, Isaiah Thomas returned to the locker room with satisfaction.
He felt that this game won easily.
However, after thousands of calculations, I still didn't expect the game to be so thrilling.
Because, Li Zhen found Cameron Anthony on the court is also a talented oppressive defender.
At that time, he was overjoyed.
Then, this physically inferior guy actually played the art of back-to-back singles with the strong, bull-like Cameron Anthony.
What's wrong...Isaiah's eyes were about to fall at that time, he thought if you got the wrong script, Bruce, your opponent should be Iverson!
That is Li Zhen.
In other people, Isaiah Thomas must jump his feet to scold the mother, and throw him to the end of the bench will never be hired myself!
