Chapter 198: : [After being depressed for so long, it ’s time to reach the climax part]


"Chris Paul has no shortcomings except height!"
"He is regarded by countless basketball experts as a point guard's hope for the future. Many people even think that his upper limit is higher than that of today's two major point guards Jason Kidd and Stephen Nash."
Old Winter coach patiently explained the strength of Chris Paul to Li Zhen: "He can dribble to any place he wants to go, although his ball control is not fancy enough, the range is not large. But I think he is the original One of the two players with the strongest explosive power in the season, the other is Arenas. His explosive power, speed, bounce, coordination, and overall view are top-level, including strength, and he has a complete mismatch with his size. Strength, he can even withstand a small forward who is heavier than himself in the defensive position. Moreover, he has a complete philosophy of 'creating offensive opportunities'. "
"I also think he will quickly become the nba's first point guard. He is far more terrible than Deron Williams!"
Old Winter was definitely not alarmist.
This also made Li Zhen ignite a more vigorous fighting spirit, he even went to Phil Jackson to ask for the starting game. He didn't want to suffer the suffocation of the last game.
After all ... this year's Hornets are not weak. They built a very competitive lineup of players. In addition to high hopes for point guard Chris Paul, they also gathered Tyson Chandler, David West, Stojakovic, Mason and other elite soldiers.
Tonight Kobe Bryant has to be injured for a day. Lamar Odom alone leads the gang of starters, incapable of attack and disorderly defense. How to play?
Phil Jackson did not agree with Li Zhen's request.
The Lakers, who are still ranked first in the West, have no pressing record pressure. In fact, before the start of the season, the Lakers management's task was only to keep the playoffs.
Phil Jackson is extremely patient with Li Zhen's growth. In fact, the Lakers have always been a team that is very patient with rookies. They rarely do things to squeeze rookies, usually giving them enough time to grow and adapt.
Therefore, he didn't want Li Zhen to start his team and fight the Hornets with Kobe Bryant without Kobe Bryant escort.
He can understand Li Zhen's desire to fully confront Chris Paul. This kind of fighting will be commendable and encouraging.
However, it is not the right time.
Phil Jackson actually has other plans. He wants Andrew Bynum to play for a while in this game. In recent days, his training results have been good, and his attitude is also very hard. As the key training object of the team, he should be allowed to provoke girders in some games.
Therefore, when Chris Paul led the Hornets to cut the starting lineup's defensive system at a rapid pace, Li Zhen could only sit on the bench and watch the game.
To be honest, Bynum performed well in this game. He scored some beautiful goals against Tyson Chandler. Tyson Chandler is a very good defensive player, but he is more proficient in assist defense. And Bynum took out the old center's game tonight and played against him.
However, although Bynum has performed on the offensive end. But on the defensive end, he struggled very hard. Paul made four fouls before halftime.
After the second half began, Li Zhen finally played.
He got the chance to confront Chris Paul.
But Paul was not in love, but still took his action plan to handle the ball with a fast offensive and defensive rhythm.
The same is true for Li Zhen.
He even showed a higher level of organizational talent, and his counterattacks were quicker and more efficient.
He played a classic v-shaped pick and roll with Eddie Griffin, and he and Kwame Brown completed aerial relays one after another. There are Radmanovic and Vujacic, two ordinary European players at his point, the defensive threat made by the New Orleans people want to grow wings under the ribs.
Li Zhen played for 7 minutes in the third quarter.
He helped the team chase from 15 points behind to 6 points behind.
In these 7 minutes, he also got 7 assists, although he didn't score. But the crowd's screams one after another have proved his worth.
If Bynum's performance in the first half of the game is an occasional bright spot, it is exciting. Then Li Zhen's 7-minute period is completely at the level of the All-Star level. It is no longer a question of highlights or not. He is the most shining star of Staples, and he is the super engine of the Zijin Army.
You have to know that Paul only got 3 assists in these 7 minutes, even though he had 5 points at the same time.
"He was seriously underestimated."
After the game, Chris Paul said very seriously in front of the camera: "He is now an elite point guard, but he can't keep himself on the court longer. The high-speed running back and forth and the confrontation with me Let his fitness decline quickly. "
"If it weren't for the Lakers head coach to quickly replace him. I'll do a singles on his back. He's breathless and he certainly can't carry me. My weight is much heavier than Hilary Duff, and he can hardly resist my movements. . "
In the end, Chris Paul did not forget to ridicule.
The news that Bruce refused Hilary Duffo's kiss last night has already spread throughout the basketball circle.
The first reaction of the players to this news is very real: this is not rushing? are you crazy?
Obviously, these gang buddies couldn't understand the unpretentious and upright gentleman style of Li Zhen. Instead, it was them. The paparazzi estimated that the missing photos were all taken.
However, the thing that disappoints nba players is that even if Li Zhen is so bad to cherish, so cruel, he doesn't take American sweetheart seriously.
After the game with the Hornets, the paparazzi still took pictures of Princess Sweetheart and Li Zhen. Only this time, both sides were more restrained. Even Li Zhen had dinner with Hilary Duff. But the thing that disappointed the reporters is that after dinner, they drove home by themselves, and there was no follow-up story!
nba actually has such a good man who is not sitting around?
Li Zhen's image in the eyes of female fans is getting bigger and bigger.
This is a rare white horse prince, I really hope that his final destination is me.
Female fans are all over the place.
"So, you really don't plan to have something with Hilary Duff?"
Back home, Kobe Bryant, the scissors hand, couldn't help but call and ask. He was like a reader who started to chase books: "It's been a long time, should it be the climax?"
"amount…."
Li Zhen didn't know how to explain to Kobe. He can only say one thing: "I have no plans for love now. Although I know that Hillary Duff is a good girl, we have a great chat tonight. But that doesn't mean I have something to do with her. She also agreed with me. And she will come to the court to cheer for us the night after tomorrow! By the way, you should pay the next night? I heard that Arenas in Washington is not bad at you. "
"He's a lunatic, I won't treat him as an opponent." Kobe Bryant said, but then gave a positive answer: "I will definitely come back. The guy wants to conquer Staples, it is simply a fool. dream!"
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows. "It's not early, you still have to get up to practice in the early morning, good night."
After finishing the call, Li Zhen habitually watched the video of the Washington Wizards.
This is the opponent of the Lakers the night after tomorrow, and the Washington Wizards led by General Arenas are rushing to come. The most arrogant 2-round show in history claimed that he was the strongest scorer on the planet as early as a week ago, and he will prove that he is better than Kobe Bryant with a big killing performance at Staples Stadium. Be stronger.
He often said such nonsense.
Nobody except Kobe took this sentence to heart. For most of the Lakers, their biggest emotion now is: After a back-to-back game, the Lakers finally have a day off.
For this reason, Li Zhen also chose to take a half-day break to attend Nike's press conference, but at this time he did not know that a big event that would shock him tomorrow would happen.
Of course, there is also a signing conference that made the entire basketball circle earthquake.
