The US media is actually more optimistic about Houston's continued winning streak.

Sports media led by ESPN are the drivers of this trend, although many fans think they are always not optimistic enough in the face of the Knicks. But this time, the reasons they gave can convince many people.

"The Knicks' winning streak is not valuable. Compared with the Houston Rockets who are fighting in the West, the Knicks have a great advantage in the schedule."

"The Knicks' lineup is not as strong as they imagined, and their tactical system just looks perfect. Their penalty area is far lower than the Rockets, and their perimeter offense is not stable enough. In the tug-of-war, you can't pin your hopes of scoring on Bruce."

"Tresey McGrady's comeback brings strong momentum to the Houston Rockets. He can perfectly control the Princeton system. He has worked with Yao for a long time and has a tacit understanding! The most important thing is that the Knicks have no one to defend him."

All the three major reasons given by Bill Simmons are Tao.

And it's up to the point.

Therefore, in terms of momentum, the Rockets are better. The handicaps of some spinach websites are also confirming this.

In recent week, a lot of discussion has actually been around the Knicks.

Although the Knicks are now ranked first in the league and have achieved a 22-game winning streak. However, many experts are commenting that the Knicks have no killer weapon. Now they are building a bunch of perfect bubbles on a bunch of dangerous chemicals. It is very likely that they will be exposed in the playoffs, and it is even more likely that they will be exposed themselves before the playoffs arrive.

Because... the Knicks have a high instability factor.

After all, they are a team composed of a group of thorn players. If any 'big boss' suddenly gets furious, the entire team may go wild.

For such a discussion.

Li Zhen agrees with the previous part... The Knicks have indeed brought their chemistry to the extreme, and almost every game is presented in a perfect state of 100% or even 120%.

This kind of smooth regular season is likely to collapse after encountering a high-intensity series confrontation in the playoffs. Moreover, the Knicks are playing without any concealment now, and they have no way to save solutions for the playoffs.

After all, Jamilin and Stevens are not famous coaches. Their qualifications and experience have not yet reached the level of "planning and killing enemies thousands of miles away."

In addition, the Knicks do have a lack of super scorers on the periphery who can give a head-on blow when their opponents are firm and clear of the world.

So... Li Zhen kept drooling as he watched Tracy McGrady's video highlights!

This talent!

The combined value of hard talent and flexible talent is probably not lower than that of LeBron James, right?

Li Zhen looked at the exciting video highlights of McGrady when she was young and praised them in all kinds of ways.

Although Tracy McGrady has not won many hard honors in her career so far, it is impossible to be as famous as super characters like Kobe, Iverson, and Vince Carter.

You can criticize him for not playing mentally enough on the court, his lack of desire to win, and his desire for record is far lower than his personal performance, and... criticize him for not being a qualified leader.

But don't question his talent.

It's hard to imagine that he started out as a high school student with defense... Usually, the defensive qualities of high school students are not very good... Of course, Kobe, Garnett and even O'Neal Jr. are exceptions.

When everyone thought he would become the next Pippen, he was introduced by the Magic to match Grant Hill, who actually took over the offense with Hill's season reimbursement, and became the scoring champion for two consecutive times with his amazing talent in soft touch (I won't worry about the dark history of leading the team to lose 19 consecutive times. Anyway, he has not touched the floor of the second round of the playoffs so far, and has been eliminated by the Jazz for two consecutive years).

This bounce ability, this flexibility, this coordination, this agility, this feel, this explosive power...this feel.

How great it would be to give it to me!!

Li Zhen looked at Tracy McGrady on the computer screen and coveted her.

However, the talent space has not been turned on recently, and even if Tracy McGrady went to fool around last night, she couldn't suck him.

Moreover, Tracy McGrady has an elegant style on the court, rarely conflicts with others, and does not engage in dirty moves. It is almost impossible to passively attract some talent from him.

However, it is indeed a waste of such an amazing talent to consume on a person whose spiritual attributes are not strong enough.

Li Zhen even thought that if Kobe had the talent of McGrady... Michael Jordan would be scared.

His goat status is likely to be challenged!

...

What Li Zhen didn't know was that when he looked at Tracy McGrady's top talent and drooled. Tracy McGrady was also watching Li Zhen's interview. This was what Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith took him to watch.

They also specially and thoughtfully translated Li Zhen's Chinese.

When McGrady heard Li Zhen say that the Rockets were Yao's team, and emphasized that Yao was the cornerstone of the team, his expression changed significantly, although he quickly relieved it by lifting his eyebrows and opening his eyes.

But he was still clearly noticed.

"Although I don't know why he said that, I love Yao very much." Tracy McGrady said with a smile.

Even when he was on the verge of being angry, he held the wealth code tightly.

Now, he thinks that the only place he can compete with Kobe in popularity is China.

However, his reverie will soon be exposed, because Kobe Bryant will go to Beijing with the US team to play the Olympics. At that time, Kobe's popularity will surpass all other American players, including McGrady.

Charles Barkley is obviously a top figure in fanning the flames. He then asked Tracy: "So what do you think of Bruce Lee becoming the number one imitation target of street teenagers? More and more people think that his elegance in the style of the game has surpassed you, just like you surpassed Anfini Hardaway back then."

Tracy's mouth obviously sank, and the tips of his eyebrows were slightly raised. This was a typical expression of disdain.

"This is not a comparison of the same type. He is the type of ball-controlling player. He is good at controlling basketball. And I am good at ending the offense. These are two different concepts. So, he should compare with another Hardaway. I mean Tim Hardaway, the Beetles!"

McGrady said another name, Tim Hardaway, who used to wear No. 10 jerseys and is good at crossover. Before Wade joined the Heat, he was the most famous point guard in Miami's history.

But in the history of NBA, even the superstar level is not as good as a player. He is just an ordinary star player...

This obviously means stomping.

Kenny Smith soon couldn't see it. Although he was a Rockets celebrity, his most important identity was Li Zhen's number one fan.

He quickly said: "I think your information is a bit behind. Bruce is now the Knicks' No. 2 scorer. He averages 18.8 points and 11.6 assists per game. His shooting around the penalty area is becoming more and more stable and there is a tendency to spread to the free throw line. Moreover, I think his emergency stop jump shot is the most casual in the league today."

oh!

Tracy's eyebrows were lifted again.

But he didn't continue talking.

If it were someone else, he might have started to squirt.

But Li Zhen is a Chinese player after all, and he doesn't want to hurt the feelings of Chinese fans.

But, this anger was kept in his heart. He wanted to give Li Zhen ugly in the game.

...

TNT finally interviewed Li Zhen 2 hours before the start of the game.

It was also a combination of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, who caught Li Zhen, who was practicing jump shot in Madison Garden, and then forced an interview.

"How do you think about Black Lively's father agreeing to your date with Lively? Will you act on that? Will you date him before April Fool's Day?"

Charles Barkley is gossiping when he opens his mouth.

This made Li Zhen very embarrassed.

He also heard about Black Livery's father's interview. He did not expect that he would be so popular in the minds of middle-aged and elderly men in Hollywood.

Because Black's father even said: "I can't refuse a super genius who was admitted to Harvard at the age of 16, and I can't refuse a capitalist who masters most of the Internet, and... I also hope that he can make a guest appearance in the Hangover 2."

Although what he said was the truth, Li Zhen still felt shy when it sounded.

"Oh! No! man. You know, I'm a shy oriental man. And, Black is still a child." Bruce said helplessly.

"Actually she is as old as you, only two months younger than you." Barkley did not hesitate to expose it, and said: "She is not small anymore. She looks older than your other rumored girlfriend, Ashley Olsen."

Forehead….

Li Zhen couldn't follow it down. This might be a proposition.

"So, do you prefer girls older than you? For example, Anne Hathaway? Can you accept it if you are older? How about Megan Fox? Have you watched Transformers? Oh my God, she is so hot. She looks like she is lying on the hood, so it's really unbearable..." Kenny also joined in.

This is obviously a sports program, but it just talks about the feeling of late night.

Compared to asking Bruce about basketball topics, the two vulgar middle-aged men obviously care more about these off-field gossips.

"How about black people? You should find a black female star to fall in love. I heard that Rihanna has always been interested in you..." Charles Barkley finally raised a question of racial equality in front of Li Zhen.

Forehead….

Li Zhen hugged his head helplessly.

This is another issue.

The difficulty of this problem is that you can't say you don't like black people.

"Uh... I have focused all my attention on basketball training recently, and I really don't have the energy to deal with those emotional scenes. If I were a writer, I admit that I am a screenwriter who can't write emotional scenes. I still think that keeping stronger is a man's romance."

Li Zhen faced the camera and made his straight man's comments: "Didn't you find that I've jumped higher recently than before? My coordination, flexibility, and agility have increased. Moreover, I began to think that my jump shot was really refreshing, and Kobe's shooting was not as handsome as me."

"So what about Tracy McGrady?" Charles finally got back to the topic: "Everyone said that his jump shot was the handsomeest in the world."

"Of course, I also hope to have his talent for excellence one day." Li Zhen said with a smile.

He had no psychological burden to face Tracy McGrady.

Moreover, he wanted to have this talent from the bottom of his heart.

However, Bruce has his moral cultivation, he will not deliberately seduce McGrady, and run over to provoke: Your talent is good, but now it is mine.

...

Interestingly, Li Zhen did not quarrel in the pre-match interview. But Isaiah Thomas made it very interesting.

"I think Adelman is just a name. I don't like his rigid and deliberate tactics." Isaiah Thomas is increasingly letting himself go, especially standing in front of old opponents like Charles Barkley's player era: "The real legendary coach should be me. He has no fixed tricks and is forming chemical reactions according to local conditions anytime and anywhere."
