Chapter 140: : [Honest and Trustworthy Bruce]


When a person's name repeatedly appears in your ear, even if it is spreading some negative news.
You will still have a deep memory of him and subconsciously pay attention to him.
This is what American NBA fans have experienced with Bruce Lee.
Their attention has been concentrated by the overwhelming 'group mocking'. Therefore, although Bruce has not played in an nba game, he is already the top ten player in nba's popularity.
In the words of Bill Duffy: "You only have one good sponsor now. Sell your sneaker brand to Nike, they will definitely use the PR company to wash it for you. Look, Kobe around you is What a white wash !! "
"Moreover, they have raised the price to 25 million US dollars. Before excluding your investment, you have already made a lot of money."
Bill Duffy always wanted to use external force. Because he didn't want the negative public opinion environment to continue, especially when Ashley made a public statement in the media, the basketball media increasingly believed that Bruce wasn't here to play, and their words became more vicious.
However, Li Zhen wants to rely on himself. He wants to break down these stereotypical negative evaluations little by little through his own efforts.
He thinks he has the ability to do this.
However, Bill Duffy is full of worries about the upcoming preseason.
Because the defense line of the Warriors is too strong. And ... Neither Byron Davis, who has not spoken, nor Monta Ellis, who has shouted, are not fuel-efficient lamps, and their style of play restrains Bruce.
Needless to say, Captain Beard is one of the strongest and best physical point guards in the NBA, and has a lot of practical experience. Although he has never been in the position of the top 3 point guard, he has always been the NBA tyrant. A rude man on one side.
Monta Ellis, Mississippi's second-highest high school student in total scores, although not very defensive. However, his speed, explosiveness, jumping ability and even scoring ability are extremely top-notch. This summer's league, second-year student Monta Eisley ushered in an epic explosion. He averaged 36.5 points in nine games, breaking more Records. Many media have begun to include him in the discussion list of this year's `` fastest progress player '', thinking that he will shine under the old Nielsen's tactical system.
Although Monta is a bit thin, Byblos is still stronger.
Facing him, Bruce has no physical advantage. Even the speed is actually between Bozhong. Perhaps Bruce's speed is faster, but the start speed is definitely stronger than Monta Ellis, his explosive power is nba top level.
"Do you think you can be miserable to be taken away by Monta Ellis?" Bill Duffy finally said what he said. He didn't want to put pressure on Bruce, but he must let Li Zhen understand: "If you do The preseason is very bad, you will be exposed to an unprecedented crisis of confidence. Also, public opinion will never let go of mocking you in person this time. "
Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders on the phone. He studied the Warriors game video last night and asked the editor to send him a video of Monta Ellis.
Although this year's Warriors are strong and strong, there is a group of nucleus players whose sporting ability breaks the table and is extremely good at fast attack.
But as long as the Lakers handle it properly, the probability of winning this game is greater than that of the Golden State Warriors.
Moreover, he feels that his situation is not as pessimistic as the media renders. He does not think that Monta Ellis or Byron Davis will devour themselves alive as the media said, without even bones left.
"I will cheer!"
Bruce smiled and told Bill Duffy.
Then, the Lakers staff began to remind the team members to board the special plane to the Golden State Warriors.
Bruce was so excited about the upcoming game that he hung up and walked quickly to the plane.
Bill Duffy on the phone sighed helplessly, facing the invitation from Disney, he even thought he was more like an entertainment agent than a sports agent.
Even sometimes, he was thinking: simply take Bruce and switch. He is much more sought after on entertainment channels than sports media.
...
Although Bruce never played at Oracle Arena, when he appeared here. He still received overwhelming cheers before the game. Many Chinese families even drove here for two or three hours to cheer for him. Many people wore the scarlet number 10 jersey to cheer for Li Zhen.
Chris Mullin was even more depressed when he saw this scene.
It would be nice if the Lakers didn't jump in the draft. Bruce's mass base in Northern California is invincible, which will bring a strong pin to the downturn. Bruce led the red team to the finals in April this year, making him a legendary acclaim in the Bay Area, and his position in the eyes of the Chinese audience is comparable to Michael Jordan. He is regarded as the pride of Asians.
This is the gathering place of Chinese in North America.
Looking at the yellow face across the mountains, Chris Mullin sighed. This is something the Warriors Club has always expected to accomplish but failed to do. Most Chinese in the Bay Area are middle class, and they have sufficient spending power. But ... the Warriors have no incentive to buy their tickets: If you get Bruce in June, it will be completely different.
Ugh!
Another sigh.
The game started soon.
The list of Golden State Warriors is: Byron Davis, Jason Richardson, Stephen Jackson, Al Harrington, Biedrins.
The Lakers sent Smash Parker, Kobe Bryant, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom, and Kwame Brown.
From the lineup, although the Warriors do not have a superstar like Kobe Bryant, but the overall strength is not better than the Lakers. In addition to Biedrins as a blue-collar center, the other four players have the ability to hold the ball singles. Combined with the old Nielsen's quick offensive, if he is not careful, he will be shot by a random gun.
Therefore, Phil Jackson specifically emphasized before the game: You must firmly control the team's rhythm and cannot be driven by them. They can't let them go.
Once the Warriors start, even the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and other strong teams may not be able to hold back.
The best way to deal with it is to saw them with them, expose their flaws in positional battles, and then kill them one by one.
However, Smash Parker obviously does not have this wisdom.
His background is pitiful, and he knows how to control the rhythm. He saw Byron Davis rushing, and they also moved.
Moreover, he has a eagerness to express his performance tonight, especially his feel is good today. Therefore, even Kobe had a good position two or three times, he didn't pass.
This makes Black Mamba extremely uncomfortable.
With Byron Davis hitting a 3-pointer in the sixth minute, he couldn't stand it anymore. His death stared at Parker, and Phil Jackson called a timeout in due course.
Then, a sound appeared in Oracle Arena: brue! we-need-brue! !
This voice first rang from the Chinese area and then spread to most areas of the arena.
Indeed, many people came to Li Zhen.
Now the Lakers call a timeout, and of course they hope to see Bruce Lee next.
However, this made the Warriors quite uncomfortable. From their point of view, it is the home fans who are fighting back and forth, why not support us, but instead call the name of the singer?
"The fans here are too bad, they will definitely not see what they want to see." Stephen Jackson said uncomfortably.
"These cheering fans are irritating us." Byron Davis also walked over to talk to old Nielsen: "We have to give this kid a little color."
But Old Nielsen apparently didn't want to let his ‘villains’ take action, he just smiled and said:
Why not worry about rookie, preseason is not important.
With that said, he even replaced Stephen Jackson with Byron Davis: "We are at the rotation time. Let the young players get familiar with the tactics."
Then, Stephen Jackson focused on Monta Ellis, who was called by the name: Although the core of the team is Byron Davis, the leader of the Golden State gang is Wu Sheng Jackson.
When the head of the locker room cast a "Nai Zute" look, Monta quickly looked calm and nodded firmly. It ’s almost impossible to stand up and say salute: promise to complete the task.
At the same time, the Lakers also made staff adjustments.
Phil Jackson replaced Eddie Griffin at the same time as Bruce, and replaced Bill Walton with Radmanovic.
He originally wanted to replace Kobe Bryant.
But Bryant insisted on escorting Bruce for a while.
Then, the whistle sounded. The Lakers lineup is: Bruce Lee, Kobe Bryant, Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin and Kwame Brown.
When Li Zhen walked onto the court, he was immediately greeted by loud cheers.
His nervous expression also became relaxed.
Anyway, starting your own career in the Bay Area is a happy thing.
But at this time, Monta Ellis came over: "Enjoy the cheers at this moment, this is likely to be the only time in your career to enjoy applause."
His tone is sharp.
The high school student didn't take the double material high school students of Harvard and Stanford into consideration. After all, the competition here is basketball.
Li Zhen gave him a strange look.
He was not in the mood to continue to shoot with Monta Ellis.
However, his expression was hard to hide. Because in the information he obtained before the game, Monta Ellis' height is 191, which is two or three centimeters higher than himself. But now standing in front of himself, it is almost the same as himself, and even so short.
Is it that I am tall again?
No wonder Eddie Griffin said to himself: "You should at least report your height at 192, otherwise many players will be embarrassed."
Now, Bruce understands it.
It turned out to be the case.
"Hey, catch the ball, Bruce!"
Eddie Griffin's voice has been heard from the sidelines, Li Zhen quickly ran back and received basketball.
His nba journey began.
