0203: [Coach, I want to play]

The three commentators that ESPN has scheduled today are senior commentator Mike Breen, former famous NBA superstar Reggie Miller, and Steve A. Smith, who has just transformed from a basketball reporter to a ball commentator.

Reggie Miller's point of view is very clear. Before the start of the show, he repeatedly mentioned that Bruce was beaten by Chris Paul and Deron Williams in the first two games. At the same time, he claimed that the contract given by Nike was simply terrible: This pair

It is too unfair to other superstars under Nike. This is equivalent to using the money earned from signature shoes of LeBron, Kobe and others to give it to Bruce Lee.

And he predicted: "Bruce will be mercilessly beaten by the angry Arenas."

Interestingly, the little-known Steve Smith sitting next to him had a different view. This black man who had already made a name for himself in the reporter circle said seriously: "Actually, I watched the first two games. Bruce

He is the only bright spot for the Lakers. When he is on the court, the Lakers take the lead. His problem is that his physical fitness can only support him to play for about fifteen minutes. If he can play the entire game, he will be a well-deserved elite.

level player."

"Also, according to Nike's announcement, their cooperation is not an endorsement model, but Nike has invested in his company. If other players are unhappy about this, they can also set up their own sneaker brands and invite the best designers in the industry

I design sneakers, then personally find a foundry to produce the products, and find channels to launch them on the market, and the first batch of sales is sold out!"

"Many NBA players have neither a concept nor awe of business. They only know jealousy. But jealousy can't bring anything. Bruce's contract with Nike has officially taken effect. From a business perspective, any noise they make now is

We are promoting the Li Chen brand.”

Steve A. Smith speaks with a different tone.

In fact, a few months ago, he said that Bruce was the best point guard in the 2006 class. However, he was met with verbal criticism from his peers.

He didn't care at all.

It is precisely because of this that he got the opportunity to appear on TV.

So now, he doesn't care that Reggie Miller, who is sitting next to him, was once an NBA superstar. He just wants to express his thoughts... As a commentator, if you don't even dare to express your own opinions, but echo others

Argument, what's the difference between that and rotten eggs?

The two commentators' completely different views raised the audience's expectations.



However, when the game started, Li Zhen did not appear.

This shocked many viewers in front of the TV, and the fans at Staples Arena even booed in disbelief.

But there is no way. The Purple and Gold Army used Li Zhen so conservatively. The coaching staff headed by Phil Jackson simply ignored the turbulent public opinion from the outside world. In the eyes of the Zen Master... now is far from the time for a duel, so let Kobe Bryant

Bryant should go take care of Arenas first.

Kobe Bryant couldn't stand Arenas's arrogance at all, even though he was playing injured today.

But as soon as he came up, he started a duel with Arenas.

The first goal he scored in the opening game was a mid-range jumper he hit from a 45-degree angle on the left side with gorgeous steps and an elegant fadeaway.

Peter Pan is indeed extraordinary.

Even though he had a fierce conflict with Kobe on the court, Reggie Miller still praised him on the TV station: "Kobe is the player with the most abundant offensive methods in the league today."

However, Reggie Miller had just finished speaking.

Arenas returned to halftime and responded with a 3-pointer with an unreasonable pull-up jumper.

His answer ball was sharp and arrogant. After scoring a goal, he did not forget to raise his hands and keep showing them, indicating that the boos at Staples Arena could be louder.

Arenas, nicknamed the General, is as domineering as ever.

He enjoys the feeling of being a public enemy. He is used to putting himself in an "isolated and helpless" situation, and then fighting out with passion and arrogance: only in this way can he satisfy his imagination of heroism.

Kobe Bryant was not a believer in evil by nature. When he looked back, he immediately started the one-on-one task and quickly entered the paint area and succeeded in a layup.

The game quickly turned into a scoring show between the two.

Arenas felt very good tonight, and he hit various difficult jump shots one after another. Although his strong upper limbs and slender lower limbs do not seem to match, they both bring him strong strength and amazing explosive power.

Coupled with the shooting skills he trained day after day, he seemed to be invincible.

In contrast, Peter Pan was greatly affected tonight. Although his finger injury did not affect his athletic ability, it had a considerable impact on his touch. When he failed to make two consecutive basketball shots

, he had to change to an offensive method of attacking the basket to cause damage.

The Wizards' two big insiders, Haywood and Jamison, were both made very uncomfortable by him. After the first quarter, they received 3 and 2 fouls respectively.

This has caused great strategic damage to Washington.

However, the Wizards won by a huge margin.

35:26.

The lead almost reached double digits, and Kobe Bryant only ended the quarter with 15 points, while Arenas scored 21 points.

When he was off the court, he even told Kobe arrogantly: "My goal tonight is to score 82 points!!! I came here for the current highest scoring record."

This made Peter Pan very angry.

Returning to the bench, he immediately said to Phil Jackson: "Bruce Lee must play at the same time as me. He is my best helper."

His voice was urgent and filled with resentment. He thought Phil Jackson was showing off again. People were trying to bully him. Why are you hiding your capabilities and biding your time? Put on the strongest lineup and just go for it. Wouldn't that be the end of it?

But Phil Jackson frowned. He felt that Arenas was still very physically strong, and if Bruce was put on the court rashly, he would be easily knocked into trouble!

His idea was to let other Lakers players consume Arenas's physical energy first, and then let Li Zhen take the field for a duel.

Only in this way will Bruce look less ugly on the scene.

Zen Master liked and cared for Li Zhen from the bottom of his heart. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to let Kobe do...such dirty work that consumes physical strength.

In his mind, the outcome of this game was far lower than Bruce Lee's health and dignity.

But this time.

But Li Zhen came over, stared at Phil Jackson very seriously, and said something that was even written into Phil Jackson's autobiography many years later: "I hope that in twenty years, when I look back on my basketball career, I will have a smile on my face.

Smile, it sighs softly, Two roads diverged in a wood, and I chose the one less traveled by people and more thorny."

"My mother also came to the court today. She told me something when I was very young. If you cherish your feathers too much and don't damage them at all, you will lose both wings and will never be able to fly.

.”

"So, sir."

"I want to play."

Classmate Li Zhen's words were very calm from beginning to end. He did not roar wantonly, nor did he clench his fists to express any fanatical emotions. He just stood there with firm eyes.

Phil Jackson was convinced.
