0357: [aggressive Thomas]

Frankly speaking, TJ Ford is not a perverse and aggressive person.

However, he also has to live.

This year is the year of his contract. He performed relatively well this season with the Raptors. He helped the team enter the playoffs. Now is the critical moment for negotiations with the team. He needs a little gimmick and a job that can be enough.

Matching the huge contract that was listed as 'Iverson plus Jason Kidd' when he joined the league.

T.J. Ford's three seasons in Milwaukee were not successful, and compared with his prestigious high school and college careers, they were even more frustrating.

You must know that TJ Ford helped the school team achieve a record of 75 wins and 1 loss during his high school career (including 62 consecutive victories), and won two Texas Class 5a Classic (texas css 5a) state championships. Enter Texas

After college, despite being diagnosed with spinal stenosis, he became the first rookie in NCAA history to lead the country in assists during his freshman season and led his team to the Sweet Sixteen.

In the second season, he led the team in scoring, assists and steals, leading the team to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in history. He was also successfully elected as the Southern Division mvp, unanimously selected to the All-NBA first team, and also won the Naismith Memorial Basketball Association.

Award and John Wooden Award, and was named Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, and CBS Sports Online.

This is the reason why he was selected with the eighth overall pick in the first round in 2003 at a height of 175 against strong players.

However, after joining the NBA.

He did not play as expected. Although he entered the second team of the All-Rookie Team in his first season, he also suffered lifelong injuries. He was fouled by Mark Madson of the Timberwolves during a layup, causing his spinal cord to break.

Frustration. Coupled with the congenital spinal stenosis, he was reimbursed after playing half of the first season.

After returning the next year, he was incompatible with the team's style. And as the team drafted Mo Williams in 2005, Mo Williams' shooting ability was more favored by the coaches, so he was gradually marginalized.

It wasn't until this year that he achieved some results.

It is precisely because of this that he hopes to consolidate his position.

He hopes that he can win the Most Improved Player Award this season, get a huge contract, and be successfully selected for the All-Star Game, becoming a big shot that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, he set his sights on Li Zhen, who had a style similar to his own. Li Zhen was also fast, had poor shooting ability, and relied on stealing, rubbing, and slipping points for his personal attack power.

Deep down in his heart he was somewhat unwilling.

Why can Li Zhen, the same type of player, be loved by thousands of people in New York and become a rising star, but he can only be ignored by everyone?

Is it all just due to bad luck?

Therefore, he wanted to change his destiny against the odds. He kept talking in front of the media and called himself the most powerful offensive breakthrough defender in the new century... and he used Li Zhen to spend money from time to time.

Taking the heat thing to the extreme.

From his point of view, the reasons for doing so are sound and understandable.

After all, everyone living in this world wants a better life for themselves and their families, right?



The fans in Toronto are actually more Buddhist, and they are not as fanatical as the fans here in the United States.

However, when the entire Knicks team arrived here, a strong sense of Canadian irony could still be seen on TV.

There is an inexplicable arrogance in their bones.

"The only place where the New York Knicks can beat the Toronto Raptors is their salary. The wealthy New York owners like to spend money on a lot of useless things. It would be best if this guy can go to Buddhist school."

The host sarcastically said on TV: "Although I know these guys are ambitious, the next time they come to Toronto, they will be here for vacation."

This sentence was actually said by TJ Ford.

But it was becoming a buzzword in Toronto during this time.

Because what it expresses is very clear, the Knicks will be swept.

Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell is the person who has the loudest call for the best coach this season, because he actually led the Raptors to the third position in the Eastern Conference.

And the man who is about to become the best head coach has no respect for Isaiah Thomas, the early partner of the Toronto Raptors.

Executive Vice President of Basketball Department.). He told reporters: "I respect Isaiah Thomas' achievements on the court very much. He is a superstar. But after he retired, the transcript he handed over was not ideal. Moreover, I

I think his behavior of treating Bruce Lee as the absolute core is no different from when he drafted Damon Stoudemire."

Damon Stoudemire, nicknamed Little Flying Squirrel, is a very famous small point guard in the NBA. He is also a breakthrough expert and has a big shooting ability.

This was the first core created by Isaiah Thomas for the Raptors, but the result was naturally a mess. Fortunately, the Raptors later acquired Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady one after another, finally realizing their playoff dream.

But by that time... the assassin had already gone to Indiana.

Isaiah Thomas and Li Zhen have completely different personalities. Li Zhen did not have a verbal confrontation with TJ Ford, and even refused to respond to any of TJ Ford's calls...including TJ Ford's statement that the two sides were engaged in a 100-meter sprint race.

"The only saving grace of Sam Mitchell is that he always manages to keep his beard very clean in every game. It is a shame for the NBA that such a person has become a favorite for the best head coach.

This is as ridiculous as awarding Michael Jordan the Best Manager award."

The Smiling Assassin's trash talk has been tested for a long time. Although he did not leave a classic joke like forcing Bird, the Detroit Pistons took so many beatings and supported bench thugs, and his trash talk was indispensable.

And, judging from Thomas’s response.

After leading his team into the playoffs with a counterattack, he now dares to openly challenge Michael Jordan, and even dares to publicly ridicule him.

This was the confidence Bruce Lee gave him. After all, Michael was still sulking in Charlotte recently. Even when Tiger Woods appeared on the talk show last week, he specifically talked about an interesting incident. When Michael was in a golf match

After playing extremely poorly, he turned his anger on Rich Joe: If that guy hadn't lost Bruce Lee, I wouldn't have been able to play so badly.

This caused the audience to burst into laughter and set off a peak in ratings.

The basketball god's competitive spirit is still as paranoid on the golf course.

But this time, he lost completely.

Old enemy Isaiah Thomas dared to mock him.
