After an inconsequential preseason game, the debate over the "new generation of magicians" in Los Angeles has intensified.

The media always likes to create such gimmicks. They are keen to compare players in the same position and then list groups of lifelong enemies.

Obviously, in the Southern California area.

The media, like a good match, helped Li Zhen get rid of his "lifelong enemy", Sean Livingston.

However, it is not difficult to see from public opinion. More basketball experts believe that Shaun Livingston has a better future because he has an obvious size advantage and his shooting is more accurate. And in this past game, Although the Clippers lost the game, the media's overall comments still tended to favor the third-year Livingston far better than the first-year Bruce. Bruce could neither play for 20 minutes nor help the team in scoring. On top of that...his defense looks terrible, too.

Under the uproar of media reports, the Clippers owner even left the game himself. The famously stingy guy said quite disapprovingly: "We don't need a box-office player who is good at causing gimmicks. We need superstars who can win. That's the kind of guy Sean is."

But everyone could see the sour taste in Sterling's mouth.

Some internal sources pointed out that the Clippers owner even personally encouraged his players to go to Hollywood to develop scandals, because Bruce's recent news with Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen sisters really stole the spotlight. Bruce's commercial value has increased significantly as a result, and the Lakers have also been involved. All the tickets have been raised by one or two levels.

Sterling doesn't actually care about the team's record. He just needs the team's income to continue to increase and various sponsors to come to him.

But now, although those basketball experts think Shaun Livingston is better, it has not brought money to the Clippers... Although Bruce has been criticized by various people, no one can deny that his commercial value is at the forefront of the NBA, and , he actually started to launch his own brand of sneakers. And the response has been pretty good. At least his granddaughter is eagerly waiting for the release date and is ready to snap up a pair as soon as possible... becoming the most eye-catching kid on campus!

He actually made basketball shoes fashionable and entered the campus.

This is the result that other brands want.

…

Li Zhen is very immune to those remarks in the media that "praise Livingston and belittle himself."

What really depressed him was that Maggette of the Clippers complained in front of reporters: "Bruce Lee should do his own thing and make himself more physically fit. Instead of coming over to influence Sean and instigate Sean." Return to the bench to rest. Sean finally got enough playing time through his own efforts. He should go further and control it more firmly instead of returning to the bench to recuperate as he said."

These words were clearly meant to accuse Li Zhen, and they also revealed that Bruce was instigating Livingston to rest more because his skills were inferior to others.

Clippers fans were very excited about this. They accused Bruce Lee of being an insidious villain who led their little magician into trouble so that he could dominate in Los Angeles.

In this regard, Li Zhen was very depressed. He obviously had good intentions and captured the dangerous information from the positive energy, and told Livingston immediately, but it was actually interpreted in this way.

Whatever, let it go.

Li Zhen didn't want to talk.

In addition to being beaten down by the Clippers for being a villain, another frustrating thing about Li Zhen is that he clearly has 10 points of talent space, but... he has not been able to absorb the talent.

Perhaps because they have just entered the new season, NBA players who have spent enough time in the offseason are cultivating their bodies. Therefore, all physical indicators are still in the state after the game against the Timberwolves, and I don’t know who will be naughty next.

The Fallen dimension provides itself with new innate energy.

After the last preseason game, Li Zhen increased his training volume and spent all his time in the gym and training hall.

Even though the signature shoes will be officially released in the United States on November 1st, he knows better than anyone else that temporary gimmicks are short-lived. The real driving force that can make sneaker sales get better and better comes from himself, and he is the only one on the court.

As your performance gets better and better, the road will become wider and wider.

So, what is more important than training hard to actively expand the ‘talent container’ in your body?

Currently, the values ​​of Li Zhen's physical talents are: strength 46 (the limit can reach 50, because he got some high energy from Kwame), speed 93, coordination 56, flexibility 86, agility 72, physical fitness 44, and jumping 46 (

But the bullet speed is extremely amazing, the terrifying bullet speed copied from Rodney Carney).

Generally speaking, implicit (soft) talents are extremely outstanding. But hard (explicit) talents are still visibly bad. According to the barrel theory, it is no wonder that those expert commentators have been disparaging and pessimistic.

However, Li Zhen is not worried about the future at all.

He is very confident. As long as he works hard, his sweat can irrigate his talent.

Isn’t it just practice?

Li Zhen was impressed by Kobe Bryant. He had never seen a player who was more diligent than himself. In the past, he often sprayed his teammates bloody in team training matches, and often said, "You guys"

Have any of you weaklings ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning?', but now, he had to exclude Bruce, and then said: Except for Bruce, which of you weaklings has ever seen Los Angeles at four in the morning?

In a sense, the Black Mamba's 'remarks' created another feeling within the team that 'Bruce Lee is becoming the Lakers' No. 2 figure'.

This sounds ridiculous, how can a guy whose playing time is strictly controlled become the No. 2 player.

However, there are many clues showing this signal. Bruce has the team's tied for third-most tactical lines, and he also got the privilege of leading the team to rotate alone in the preseason. Phil Jackson looked at him with loving eyes, Jenny

Buss would run to the training ground every now and then to remind Bruce to rest more and keep growing. Even the manager of the public relations department smiled at him and always arranged various interviews for him.

There is also Magic Johnson, who even offered to come to the team to give Bruce Lee special training.

He is a magician, and he is the only meritorious player in the history of the Lakers who has received equity. His treatment is much better than that of Godfather Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.

No matter in which capacity he makes such a statement, it means...Bruce is quickly becoming the new darling of the Lakers club.

This...of course will frustrate original favorite Andrew Bynum. Even though he now has as many plays as Bruce and the coaching staff has promised to give him more playing time this year.

But he was still unhappy.

Originally, the Lakers club only "favoured him", but now Bruce's status has been improved to the naked eye. Can he not feel the crisis? Moreover, Kobe Bryant even talked about bro, even gave him a car, and changed clothes again and again.

The room invited him to his home for training.

Can this be tolerated?

Kobe has never been so gentle to him.

Therefore, when he was training, he always targeted Bruce in various ways.

When Bruce spoke, he also made a deliberately harsh voice.

He made the conflict known to everyone, and now everyone knows that there is a gap between the two newcomers.

However, what is interesting is that Phil Jackson did not immediately start to deal with it. He is a head coach who is very good at playing a balance. He is good at using the internal conflicts between players to create momentum, thereby making both players better.

When the Bulls dynasty was established, there was also internal competition.

Later, during the Lakers dynasty, the two core players even attacked each other.

But this does not affect the team's success.

So... the approach he took was to let it happen.

Let them develop.

As for Li Zhen, he was quite calm about Bynum's "making things difficult" and even thought Bynum's behavior was quite childish. Maybe it would be better if he grew up a little bit.
