Chapter 424: : [Tiger and Flies]

No matter from what angle, LeBron James is a terrifying opponent.
Not only does he have a formidable physical quality, his court comprehension ability is also the best choice ... not like a high school graduate at all.
The most terrible thing is that he is far more self-disciplined and progressive than other superstars.
Such a person is called the son of a natural selection in the American basketball world.
When LeBron James took the ball and launched a violent impact from the three-point line, Li Zhen instantly discovered that this horrible guy had improved again.
Even if he led his team to the finals last season, he still didn't make him complacent, and then he confessed himself.
His figure became larger, but his muscle lines were more detailed. Judging only from his breakthrough action, the average score of his physical talents is very likely to reach 95. The most important thing is that his ball holding rhythm has been significantly improved. Last season he was extremely wide open and closed. This season has become relatively delicate ... the risk of walking is a visible decline.
When he suddenly stopped in the paint zone, and used a stable but slightly stiff posture to throw the basketball into the basket.
Li Zhen was impressed.
There are a lot of talented people in NBA, and players with close to James' physical talent are not lacking, but ... there are very few players like him who can rise to a level in a season.
"I even think LeBron James' personal ability has surpassed Kobe Bryant." Charles Barkley sincerely praised in the live room.
In response, 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 will do the same." Charles quickly reached an agreement with Kenny. "After all, James is not a Kobe-style player, he is on his own."
In the next round, Li Zhen also showed his progress.
He and Eddie Griffin quickly moved into the three-point line after the pick and roll. As Drew Gooden contracted backwards, Li Zhen chose to stop the jumper. The increased strength of 4 points allowed him to hit the basketball steadily.
Four consecutive points.
"Bruce started to show his offense on the offensive end." Kenny Smith was very excited. He understood the meaning of the ball far better than watching lively fans: "Once Bruce becomes difficult to defend, his assists will be everywhere. And, Will not only confine himself to the fast attack and defense rhythm. I believe that, over time, Bruce will definitely become LeBron James ’rival. It may not even be over LeBron."
Barkley agreed with Kenny Smith in the first half, and in the second half he thought Kenny was bragging.
"Don't forget that while Bruce is improving, LeBron is also improving. Moreover, LeBron's talent is far better than Bruce Lee, he can never surpass LeBron."
"Moreover, 20-year-old Bruce will live under the shadow of 23-year-old LeBron James for a long time."
Charles Barkley even kindly reminded Kenny: "I think you should compare Bruce to 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 major cards in the league He entered NBA to rule NBA. Do n’t make jokes like Michael Jordan. "
During Charles Barkley's speech, James used a breakthrough point assist to Ilgoskas hit a jumper.
He showed his game mode without any worries. Although the Knicks' Jeffries is a good defensive player, Eddie Griffin's defense also did his due diligence, and even Zac was actively making up the position. But he was able to calmly complete the precision-guided pass.
This is the energy of a superstar.
That's why he can be called the son of nba's natural selection. All his software and hardware came to rule nba.
At the same time, Li Zhen came to the front court again with the ball.
McBrown on the sidelines had desperately shouted and ordered Larry Hughes to block Li Zhen with his body.
Larry Hughes did this, but his physical strength was not enough to defeat Li Zhen at once. And, the price of this risky behavior is ... Li Zhen will pass the defense in one fell swoop ... As Larry Hughes said, defense is not just a confrontation of strength, but also all the talents of speed, explosiveness, agility, coordination and so on. Doing support.
When Larry Hughes is desperate, he is destined to fail.
Larry Hughes hasn't played against Li Zhen for a season. He never dreamed that Li Zhen, who was weak and could not help the wind, can now carry his own impact. He didn't even take a step back, but he quickly completed the assault.
His astonishment was almost shocking.
This improvement ... more amazing than LeBron James.
He soon developed a clear understanding in his heart. He was the one who knew LeBron and Li Zhen's progress on the court the most.
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 his idea.
Li Zhen broke into the penalty area and handed the ball to Zakrandorf.
Randolph didn't catch the ball unconsciously, but slammed a shot and shot directly into the paint. Using his flexible chubby to squeeze out the slow-moving Ilgoskas to put the basketball into the basket.
After scoring, Randolph was very excited and even threatened to LeBron James: It ’s up to you tonight.
The words drew cheers from the audience on the sidelines.
New York fans are more and more fond of this "mouthless" mashup.
The Knicks need such a character.
...
The game continues to extend.
LeBron James is still attacking and defending. He is like a giant axe, constantly breaking through the Knicks' defense, and then completing the offensive or tandem.
However, the Knicks. Li Zhen is no longer actively involved in singles. He frequently sends basketball into the paint zone. He lets Zakrandorf go to singles Ilgoskas ... This is an obvious dislocation advantage.
At this time, Zack also showed a different pattern. When he was caught in the bag, he actually took the initiative to send the basketball out, allowing Li Zhen to organize again.
Li Zhen always finds his teammates who are available in the first place, either by letting Jeffries make a layup or by letting Eddie Griffin make a jump shot on the perimeter. The most important thing is to give the basketball to Crawford and let him play Pavnovic ... even if he doesn't feel very good tonight.
In this way, Li Zhen's physical energy consumption is very small.
He didn't even take the ball sometimes, so his teammates played comfortably in the half-court.
Due to Zack Randolph ’s excellent performance, coupled with Jeffries and Eddie Griffin maintaining efficient defense on the wings, although LeBron James scored 13 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, the Knicks only 4 points behind at 24:28.
"This game gave me a strange feeling. I felt like I was watching the sequel to the Eastern Conference finals last season. The Cavaliers are still LeBron Rampage, and the Knicks actually played team offense and team defense." Earl Johnson of tnt Can't help saying.
This feeling is verified to a greater extent in the second section.
When Stephen Marbury replaced Li Zhen and walked off the court, Crawford became Quentin Richardson. The Knicks still maintained a stable output, except for the basketball rotation that was not as smooth as when Li Zhen was present.
But the Cavaliers are also in the second team.
So, in the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Knicks even overtake the score.
LeBron James quickly returned to play.
The appearance of the Son of Heaven brings stronger kinetic energy to the Cavaliers, the score is quickly recovered, and the lead is established.
But, surprisingly.
Isaiah Thomas stood there indifferently, he did not make any personnel adjustments.
"I see more and more Isaiah Thomas. He even started to have a handsome style." Charles Barkley was surprised in the studio.
He did not expect Isaiah Thomas to be so calm.
However, what he did not know was.
Isaiah Thomas paid attention to the situation on the field at all. He stood there just thinking about life and what to do next. As for the suspension of substitutions?
When a substitution is needed, Bruce will stand up. Jamie Lin will also pay attention to the situation.
Even if they don't think there is a problem now, it must be no problem.
Beep!
When the halftime whistle sounded.
56:50.
The Cavaliers led by 6 points.
But none of the fans at Madison Gardens are worried about this. They watched this game very calmly.
Everyone is aware of a sober fact: the Knicks have really become stronger. Especially the depth of the second team is much deeper than last season. Before the game, who can imagine Bruce sitting on the bench for a game, David Lee and Swift, the two outstanding forwards last season, did not appear in the first half, the Knicks can still play with the Cavaliers Is it comparable?
D'Antoni, sitting in front of the TV, was stunned. The Randolph data on the screen made him dumbfounded. 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal in halftime?
Is this still Randolph? He played me there in the preseason.
Also puzzled is the Portland Trail Blazers, who had thought they got rid of a long-term salary burden and locker room cancer, but they didn't expect ... to fly themselves in the Knicks.
What's so special?
Pucharid even wanted to give himself two big mouths, I actually took him for another air? (The Blazers bought out his contract after trading Francis, and then the Rockets gave Francis a two-year contract.)
When various spectators in front of the TV watched the commercials imagining the first half of the game.
An episode happened in the arena.
LeBron James was provoked by two crazy Knicks fans when he retired. The two white men wearing No. 10 jerseys shouted at LeBron above the player channel: "suks !! LeBron, your time It's over before it's here. The future belongs to us Bruce Lee. The Bruce dynasty officially arrives, and the Son of Heaven has fallen into the stage !!! "
These words undoubtedly made LeBron extremely angry.
Everyone saw his hands clenched.
But his excellent training prevented him from attacking the fans, but soon, there was a muffled sound in the player's channel.
LeBron kicked a trash can.
This is the last thing he likes to hear.
The past offseason has put him under great pressure, and his hairline has increased a lot.
The composition of the Celtics' three giants made him realize that the Eastern Throne he had just occupied was likely to be taken back by the group of old guys, and the Knicks, who had been messing up his mind all the time Actually, what Li Zhen would replace himself. Is n’t this crazy words?
Old old, small.
Do you really think I am bullying?
LeBron gritted his teeth.
He is not sure about playing the Celtics, but can he bully the Knicks?
When he walked into the locker room, his first thing was to tell McBrown: "In the second half, I hope to get a chance to defend Bruce Lee. I want to block him completely !!"
McBrown is worried about how to limit Li Zhen in the second half. Larry Hughes has always stressed to him that Li Zhen has made great progress and is very difficult to prevent. He must be included and set in advance. It is like a superstar player.
Now LeBron is willing to stand up, he is just what he wants.
But thinking about it, LeBron has to do his best on the offensive end, and defensively stares at the core of the Knicks, so it is easy to lose out. Compared to defense, Cleveland's offense is completely tied to LeBron alone!
So, he just promised: "I will let you complete the blockade of him at a critical moment."
it is good!
James nodded resolutely.
He thinks that as a tiger, it's time to take off the buzzing flies of the Knicks and never give the Knicks a little fantasies, otherwise they will endure endlessly.
Only in this way can we concentrate on the life and death of the lions in Boston.
In the eyes of James, he has never regarded Li Zhen as an opponent, and his goal has always been to lock the Celtics and Lakers.
