0456: [Superstar Li Zhen](1/2)
Dallas head coach Johnson is a coach from Popovich.
Although he was a normal whole career and sat on the bench most of the time, as a 177-year-old and a undrafted man, he was able to retire his jersey at St. Anthony, which is also a legend.
The highest moment of his player's career was a jump shot in the last 47 seconds of the fifth game of the season finals, helping the Spurs secure the victory 78-77 and winning the first championship in team history.
Coincidentally, he defeated the New York Knicks.
And that was also the last glory of the Knicks, and since then it has been trapped in endless scandals.
But now, Johnson seems to see the trajectory of reincarnation.
Bruce was like a bright lightning, cutting through the dark curtain of the dome of Madison Garden. Layers of light suddenly appeared in his flash and planning.
As a head coach who was a point guard, Johnson is particularly concerned about the new generation of defenders in the league today. Previously, he always believed that Chris Paul was the strongest representative of the new generation and would definitely leave his lasting monument in the long history of the NBA in the future.
But now, he feels that Lee's achievements are really no lower than Chris Paul.
Paul is very strong, he can jump shots in the middle distance, he has a strong body, top talent, and organizational talent that can be seen with the naked eye.
Compared with him, Li Zhen has a far-range shooting ability and a far-distance shooting gap, and his physical strength is also different.
However, the danger that Johnson smelled was even stronger.
Because Li Zhen has done what he is good at to the extreme.
His breakthrough is extremely lethal, his passes are always just right, and his organizational talent makes him want to strangle Jason Terry to death: Why can he take the initiative to lead the tactics and switch smoothly like silk, but you can't even implement the tactics I have formulated?
Especially when he saw Isaiah Thomas posing with a masterful demeanor on the sidelines, he was angry and aggrieved: This has something to do with you. If a team has a point guard like Bruce who is good at adapting to changes and can cleverly mobilize various tactics according to local conditions, my grandma can also be the head coach.
Swish!
Eddie Griffin easily hit a jump shot from a thirty-degree angle on the left less than 3 meters from the basket.
But the credit was entirely attributed to Li Zhen's easy entry into the penalty area again. He easily broke Jason Terry's defense, and then made Josh Howard's assisted defense slow down by half a beat, and Nowitzki could only move over. At the same time, Li Zhen made a pose of passing the ball to the right to Quentin Richardson... This deceived the Mavericks' defensive judgment, because the basketball had arrived from behind Li Zhen's mind without anyone noticing.
Undefended Griffin made an easy jump shot.
That's the case with a good point guard, he can always keep his teammates in easy mode.
"He is already a superstar."
Johnson gave a definition in his heart.
He has made a new improvement in his terribleness towards Li.
Then, he replaced Devin Harris. He hoped that this point guard, known for his speed, would keep up with Li Zhen's pace and put some restrictions on his endless penetration.
but.
Li Zhen proved a saying in his actions: the dragon-slaying boy killed the evil dragon and transformed himself into the evil dragon he once hated the most.
He attacked the thin Harris and even used his back.
If Harris's ability to confrontation is expressed by numerical values, it is about 63, while Li Zhen is now 74.
The 11-point gap is already a level gap, enough for Li Zhen to use his body to conduct invasive aggressive behavior.
At the same time, poor Harris also refills the devil's defensive experience for free.
Li Zhen is an extremely smart defender. He has very accurate judgment of the opponent's offensive intentions, and his defensive pace is extremely solid. Coupled with a pair of terrifying long arms, the explosive power and speed of the top level.
Poor Harris was strangled when he came up.
Seeing Nowitzki having no good point guard to sort out and having to fall into high-single singles again and again, Johnson was anxious.
Jason Kidd's trade can no longer be delayed. Lee Zhen's performance in Terry and Harris made Johnson understand more deeply: a good point guard can effectively reduce ball loss and make tactics operate more smoothly.
The Mavericks must not be in a tragedy again because of the No. 1 position issue.
...
Thanks to Nowitzki's outstanding performance and the Mavericks' deep foundation, even if the ball is not as smooth as the Knicks, the Mavericks still bit the score in the first three quarters. Nowitzki made outstanding contributions to this. As the power forward with the strongest offensive firepower in the league today, he can always show his ability to move with ease when facing the defense of Griffin, Swift and David Lee.
"This is a superstar. He can influence the game with his own strength. When his condition is hot, he can even decide the game with his own strength."
Stephen Marbury told Li Zhen during the break in the third quarter: "I have touched this area before."
"Nowski is in a very hot state tonight, he has already scored almost 40 points. If we want to win, either we will either suppress the Dallas with a strong team. Or we will have a strong man, fight against him and suppress his firepower."
Speaking of this, Marbury spread her palms: "Our team has two and a half players with this potential. Zach has the strength of a quasi-superstar, but he doesn't feel very good tonight. He always seems to be willing but not strong when facing a strong and tall defensive center. Although Jamal is not a superstar, or even a first-class star, once he finds his state, he can switch to superstar mode, but he feels cold tonight."
"There is half of you. Although I don't know how strong your offensive firepower is, I always feel that you shouldn't be just a super point guard."
Stephen Marbury is increasingly like the Knicks' spiritual leader. He provides insights as a bystander and always points out the problems to the point and motivate.
Li Zhen showed his attack firepower in the paint area in the first quarter, but he did not continue to output, but more to cause deterrence and then assist and pass the ball.
Now, Stephen Marbury encourages him to attack Nowitzki.
"You have to go on this path, and few superstars get it with pure assists."
When he was on the court, Stephen Marbury patted Li Zhen on the shoulder.
The fourth quarter game begins.
Li Zhen’s aura has changed.
When Jason Terry stood in front of him again, he deliberately stopped pursuing the killer crossover who flashed away, nor did he let his teammates come forward to cover it.
Instead, he slowly slapped the basketball and made irregular and subtle adjustments.
Terry immediately smelled a dangerous breath, and he already understood Li Zhen's intention.
Although Li Zhen's single-handed action at this time was not as delicate as Kobe, as dangerous as Iverson, as fierce as LeBron... However, it still revealed a strong deterrence invisibly, just like an ancient Chinese saying: Although the son of a tiger and leopard has not become a pattern, he already has the energy of eating cows.
Jason Terry was walking on thin ice.
At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly took a step towards the left, and his explosive power and speed suddenly burst out at this moment.
Terry subconsciously adjusted his defensive posture.
And as his defensive steps moved horizontally to the left, Li Zhen suddenly paused, lifted his shoulders slightly upward, making a slight shooting intention.
Although this fake move is not as smooth and delicate as the top striker swinger, Jason Terry still makes a conditioned jumping and blocking action in panic.
At the same time, Li Zhen slapped the ball downwards violently, and his body was full of... and worshipped Buddha sharply.
Jason Terry was overwhelmed.
This move is quite like a skilled defender.
But at the same time, Li Zhen's flashing figure vividly demonstrated his distinctive characteristics as a speed guard.
Stephen Marbury exclaimed on the sidelines: Talent! Potential!
The height of 193, the arm span of 208, the speed of cheetah like a cheetah, the explosive power, and the infinite possibilities of delicate technical movements.
Bruce once gains a soft feel.
What a terrifying existence he will become.
hiss!
Marbury gasped.
At the same time, Isaiah Thomas also felt this way.
Swish!
In a blink of an eye, Li Zhen invaded the paint area. While Danpier was still hesitating whether to make up for defense, he stopped decisively and threw the ball.
The basketball responded to Li Zhen's greetings with a crisp sound.
Now, Johnson's head hurts even more.
Because, this means that the Dallas Mavericks' defense line must continue to shrink inward. But Li Zhen's passing ability has never been a vegetarian.
He became worried about gains and losses.
However, this anxiety and loss has become the main reason for the failure of Dallas.
Because Li Zhen is as solid as a rock now and is about to attack!
When Nowitzki hit another independent jump shot to win the 40th point in the game.
Li Zhen passed Jason Terry's defense again, the difference was that he did not use worship to worship Buddha this time. Instead, he was a slightly unexperienced but extremely skilled fake move, and his back turned around and turned around.
Poor jets became Lee Zhen’s ATMs.
After Li Zhen entered the penalty area... he faced Danpier's early replacement, without any hesitation. He turned his body sideways and crossed like a high-speed drift: the 90-point coordination talent gave him enough ability to complete this action.
After passing Danpier, he put the basketball into the basket with a beautiful and drifting backhand layup.
The Madison Garden Arena was in an instant.
They also felt a completely different atmosphere.
Li Zhen's consecutive goals refreshed them and was cheered up.
Home morale suddenly increased.
The significant effect this brings is that... the Knicks players work harder in defense.
Bang!
To be continued...
