Scala Brian is a smart and funny white man with all-NBA unique red hair.

This gave him distinctive characteristics.

Of course, fans prefer to kindly call him a Victory Human Cigar because he can only play in garbage time. Although he is seven feet tall, there is not much to do on the court. He humbly said in an interview with New York media after the trade: "Knicks players will definitely fall in love with my towel swinging posture."

However, through communication with him.

Li Zhen found that he did have a good understanding of defense, and as the player who sat on the bench for the longest, he was proud of Boston, and the defensive system created by defensive coach Thibodeau is well known.

And he has a simple three-point shooting ability.

He is also diligent on the defensive end and even directs his teammates to connect, although his physical condition and some bad conditioning reflexes make him unable to defend anyone.

Overall, he is a good locker room leader as well as adhesives.

As soon as he arrived, he had a warm contact with most players. He also sat down with Stephen Marbury, who had returned from injury, and now he has started taking the Oriental philosophy course.

Li Zhen also occasionally joined in it. But he didn't like Marbury instilling "Taoist thought" into Scarabry. Taoist thoughts emphasize tranquility and inaction, but they are easy to go astray and become "It's nothing to do with me, nothing to do with you."

Isaiah Thomas came to Li Zhen to discuss the transaction.

Li Zhen is quite interested in the Golden State Warriors' plan. Golden State shows strong sincerity. They are willing to take over Jerome James' contract... This is a historical issue. Although Jerome James no longer plays, the Knicks still have to pay him eight million US dollars a year.

At the same time, Cooley center Foyer and defensive back Matt Barnes were also sent.

"There is a great opportunity to take advantage of this offer. Foyer's contract is still three years away, with more than 20 million US dollars. But his playing style is incompatible with the Warriors, and the Warriors have long wanted to buy him out. So, if David Lee is just for Barnes, it will be a great loss. We must also have a draft pick, the Golden State Warriors' first-round draft pick next year."

Lee Jin told Thomas.

The smiling assassin nodded deeply.

After discussing with Li Zhen, he felt confident.

This confused Scala Brian next to him: Isaiah Thomas is like Caesar in the media? Why is there even a little humble in front of Bruce?

The little sign of his thought was soon extinguished by Stephen Marbury: "We are collective leaders."

Scala Bryan suddenly understood.

...

The game against the Indiana Pacers was very anxious. Although the Pacers fell apart over the years, their tactical system has always followed the traditional retro academic defense. Under the remote control of Larry Bird, the game was quite ugly. It was almost... the finals between the Spurs and the Pistons back then.

The game fell into hand-to-hand combat from the first quarter!

The Pacers relied on O'Neal Jr., Foster, Harrison, Diogu and others to play close-knits with the Knicks.

Especially the Knicks coaching team's recent strategic focus is to train the half-court position, so New York has been very passive.

The disadvantages are also exposed more thoroughly.

Li Zhen, Stephen Marbury and even Ramon Sessions, three point guards, were able to defend the No. 1 position well. However, the No. 2 position was very weak, and the defense line was constantly cut.

Eddie Griffin, Jeffreys, and Barkman will defend the wing well, but all three are thin and interfering defenders.

Once such defenders are in the penalty area, their effectiveness will be twice the result with half the effort.

However, the two big meat mountains in the Knicks' penalty area, whether it is Eddie Curry who is as active as a black rabbit or Zach Randolph who is self-snatching, they are both senior and difficult to protect on the defensive end, so how can they provide the bottom line for the wing?

Therefore, this has caused the Knicks' defense to be frequently lost.

In other words, the Pacers are now weak in offensive power. If it were the Pacers Five Tigers back then, even if Li Zhen was fierce tonight, he would have to be made into a sashimi.

The game was decided in the last 2 minutes.

Li Zhen entered the penalty area with multiple defenses, hit a throw, assisted Marbury to hit a three-pointer, and also caused O'Neal Jr. to make a fatal foul.

Although most basketball media are now angrily criticizing that Li Zhen is not worthy of a superstar seat, in fact... Li Zhen has quietly settled into the superstar position. Everyone mocked Isaiah Thomas for saying that he is already top 10 news, but if Isaiah Thomas said that Bruce is the top 30 player in the league, even the most important expert will find it difficult to stand up and say: I object.

92:85.

The Knicks passed the thrilling journey.

But next, they have to face the Boston Celtics.

The current super strong team ranked second in the East.

Starting this summer, even going back to the earlier days, Boston has long been gritting his teeth at Li Zhen.

Especially Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, both of whom have suffered under Li Zhen. Although they are not as irreconcilable as they are, when they think of this handsome guy, they still follow the normal procedure after gritting their teeth.

But something a little regretful.

Kevin Garnett couldn't play this time before Christmas. He injured his wrist when he did push-ups on the court a few days ago. Although it wasn't very serious, it would be fine to force the game.

But he calculated... After all, the hatred of Li real with the Knicks is not as good as the hatred of the Lakers and Kobe.

Although the ex-Wolf King couldn't get into college, he still understood this simple comparison model.

Moreover, this game with the Knicks is not a national live broadcast, but a Christmas battle with the Lakers!

So, he simply followed the advice of the team doctor and encouraged Paul Pierce: "The Knicks are vulnerable at all, they are just strong outside and do the other. This time they must destroy their majesty!!"

As he said that, he did not forget to call La Garondo.

Since the arrival of the Big Three, Rondo has shown his advantages, and now some people even call him the fourth giant.

"You have to use your defense, your breakthroughs, and your overall view to lock Bruce Lee. Believe me, you are the best point guard in the East!"

The wolf king likes this form of chicken blood.

As he said that, he still held Nate Robinson over and stuck his neck and asked, "Little Potato. Based on your understanding of Bruce Lee, do you think he can break free from our defense?"

Robinson smiled and said, "Of course not!"

"Bruce's breakthrough is just a pleasure. Our defense here is a solid wall. Moreover, he is not as powerful as the ones that are rumored outside. In training camp, I can't even beat it."

"Not worth worrying!!"

The more Nate Robinson talked, the deeper he became, and he was deeply involved in the play!

The Wolf King patted his head and said seriously: "You are bragging about this. Although Bruce is a little weak, he is still more than enough to hit you."

Little potato hurriedly said yes.

At the same time, Perkins was already yelling there: I don't care whether he comes in suddenly or not, I must give him some color.

Perkins was also played with by Li Zhen, and he has always been worried about it.

Now the Celtics are different from the past, with strong soldiers and horses. He feels that if he doesn't exhale this tone at this time, he will have to suffocate to death.

Paul Pierce was very supportive of his blood and gave him a thumbs up.

Soon, the Celtics formed a consensus.

At the same time, experts outside were also in a turmoil.

Ever since Isaiah Thomas announced that he would refuse to be interviewed by ESPN, ESPN has been waiting to see the Knicks make a fool of themselves and then put in the wrong, ruthlessly sarcastic.

However, the Knicks have been winning streaks.

It made espn angry and didn't take the mission.

Now, I finally waited for the Boston Celtics.

They couldn't wait to "loan" to brag about it, causing the city to be full of wind and rain, as if the Knicks were about to be covered in a blink of an eye.

Even espn made a live broadcast adjustment, turning the top battle in the West to the top battle in the East. It depends on how the Celtics abused the Knicks.

...

The Knicks are not slow.

On the night of a difficult victory over the Pacers, Isaiah Thomas announced an agreement: David Lee and Jerome James were sent to the Warriors, the Warriors sent to Foyer, and Matt Barnes also had the first eight protected draft picks in 2008.

This deal is out.

Suddenly, the media led by espn started to mock it crazy.

"I've never seen such a stupid deal. It's like Donnielsen walked into the bank and said nothing, and the counter staff member Thomas had packed a sack of cash for him and asked a taxi to take him away."

"This cannot even be described as robbery, this is stupid!"

"Whether it is potential, salary, or combat power, the Knicks have made a stupid deal."

"Thomas has only one year left for Jerome to get rid of the junk contract, which has only one year left, and has three years left for Foyer. And he exchanged David Lee, who can be an All-Star to get an unknown defensive back and a top eight to protect the draft pick."

"The Knicks are absolutely crazy!"

“…”

The flood of criticism made the New York media feel a little silent. Judging from the books, this is indeed an unfavorable deal.

Although David Lee is not suitable for the Knicks today,... he has great potential after all, why did he only change to one Barnes? And what can Foyer do? He is a pure substitute center with a career-high stat of 5.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

However, although public opinion is saying that the Knicks have made a loss-making deal, team owner James Dolan still trusts the Smiling Assassin very much, and even publicly says: I don’t worry about Thomas doing things.

This made ESPN boil again, and he accused him of saying that the Knicks would sooner or later be destroyed because of his boss' unreasonable doting on Thomas. He even quoted a Knicks executive who did not want to be named: James Dolan has been obeying and believing for a long time. He has been extremely indulging in Thomas' arrogance and domineering within the team, tolerating his innocence, turned a blind eye to many garbage contracts, dealing with him with high-priced lawsuits, and kicking D'Antoni away for him. Now... the only people in the team who can do business is Downey Walsh.

Such remarks seem to show that the Knicks are entering a stormy internal disorder.

But in fact, on the way to Boston, the plane was having fun.

Li Zhen even sang a new song that he has not yet released.

It’s not because of anything else, but because he found that his strength has improved after these two close fights!
