0496: [Pretend to be cute](1/2)
After defeating the New Jersey Nets, the Knicks ushered in the baptism of the Western Conference's top three.
First there are the San Antonio Spurs, then the Denver Nuggets, and then the Lakers.
San Antonio has now firmly ranked third in the West, and they don't seem to have much interest in the second in the West.
Although the Spurs had a deep grudge with Bruce, Tony Parker even claimed that Bruce was his most hated player in the NBA... However, under the control of the cunning Popovich, the entire army did not attack.
They habitually accumulate strength before the playoffs... Compared to the fierce competition in the regular season, they hope to snipe old opponents Mavericks and the new powerful Lakers in the playoffs.
The regular season honors have been burned out for them, and the playoffs are the battlefield for these old frymen.
"Meet again. Bruce Bowen."
Before the game started, Li Zhen specially greeted Mr. Bao Wen. This was the ninth game when Bao Wen returned from injury.
But he felt that Li Zhen seemed to have changed.
Li Zhen seems to be more active than before.
This activity upset him because Li Zhen told him: "Are you going to use your elbow tonight to measure the hardness of my ribs? Or, stretch your black feet?"
Li Zhen's words are full of expectations.
This expectation made Bruce Bowen, the old Yinbi, feel very unhappy, and feels that his authority has been provoked... After all, the most proud thing in his life is to hurt people through various malicious intentions to make people fear him, making his opponent not know when he will be black-handed.
Li Zhen turned out to be fine.
He came up and took the initiative to ask for secret tricks.
Is it good to have no sense of accomplishment?
And when the game begins.
Li Zhen even took the initiative to check for positioning.
The earnest look was like a monkey in the zoo who saw the banana, which made Bruce Bowen feel very uncomfortable.
And what was more uncomfortable than him was Tony Parker.
Mr. Parker was actually ignored. He hated this feeling very much. He vowed to make Li Zhen look good. However, the French man tried his best but failed to stop Li Zhen from walking. He was surprised to find that Li Zhen had surpassed him in all directions, especially the layup after spinning... Why is this guy's shooting percentage in the penalty area so high?
When he was surprised, the bastard Zachrandolph deliberately squeezed him out: "Hey, Mr. Parker. If you really can't defend him, just lick him with your tongue. Anyway, you French men have the best job."
Randolph is a perfect bitch.
This made Tony Parker very angry. He wanted to give Randolph a little color when he was angry. So he went deep into the penalty area and wanted to get a foul on Randolph.
As a result, Randolph was not polite to him at all, and directly suppressed him with fat...Dou!
Randolph enjoyed the whistle sounded by the referee.
He doesn't care about fouls at all.
He even told Tony Parker that the person who was pressed to grin: "Why, do you like it so much below?"
Tony Parker got even more angry.
He was so angry that he didn't even hit the free throw.
And in the next round, Popovich simply replaced him.
The playoffs are coming, and the Spurs don't want to make trouble. If that bastard Randolph really flattened the French sports car, the Spurs' playoff journey will be very passive.
Bruce Bowen has never arranged to defend Li Zhen.
The Spurs played very conservatively, even with a stance of "I'm just here to lose."
This made the Knicks quite helpless.
Especially Li Zhen, he thought to himself... What a fuck, I also expect Bao Wen to have some black hands and feet to make my talent go to the next level. As a result, you became turtles with their heads. Boring! Boring!
Li Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
"We can't continue like this anymore!"
Isaiah Thomas made a famous pretentious quote when he was suspended in the first quarter: "We also have to be on the bench, and we also have to train the rotation lineup. We are not a strong team. Why can Popovich be willful? I can't?"
Smiling assassin asked the soul.
Everyone was a little confused.
Then, he took his own initiative and personally sent Ramon Sessions, Matt Barnes, Francesco Garcia, Swift and Foyer to the court.
This is probably the first time he has actively adjusted his players since his winning streak.
As the number one cute little girl in Big Apple City, he will never allow Popovich, the old thief, to be taller in front of him. Isn’t it playing rotation? Isn’t it just pretending to be reserved and not going to the main player? Isn’t it just improving his style and pointing at the playoffs? Who can’t do it!
What everyone didn't expect was.
The Knicks' pure substitute lineup is actually hard to tell the difference between the Spurs' rotation lineup.
Ramon Sessions is mature and steadfast, and has a bit of a classic point guard posture.
In contrast, Spurs' Yuduka is just a young man in front of him.
Popovich was very sad. He always thought that the Spurs' rotation lineup was the best in the league. Unexpectedly, Isaiah Thomas made a mess and even formed such a strong lineup.
A rookie Ramon Sessions can actually sort out the offense in a moderate manner. Matt Barnes is as tough as ever, much stronger than Brent Barry. And Francisco Garcia, his three-pointer is even more accurate than Old Barry and Old Horry.
Although Swift exchanged his IQ for bouncing, he actually portrayed a little tactical path in his mind, and Mark Bonner was actually disrupted by his inch.
There is also Foyer, although it is just right, but it is also very uncomfortable for Mohammed.
So, after the second quarter, the Spurs actually retreated step by step. If it weren't for Ginobili to push up the second half for a while, they would be twice behind in the half.
At the beginning of the second half, both sides still played with the starting lineup for a while.
But both teams started to make a fuss.
None of them feels very good.
So, it was replaced with rotation.
The two teams just spent so much time.
Both sides were back and forth, and the two head coaches seemed to be angry and did not replace any main players.
In the fourth quarter, Quentin Richardson expanded the gap to double digits through two explosive three-point jump shots, and then the Spurs never approached the score to single digits again.
111:100.
The Knicks won this unconventional victory.
The winning streak is further expanded to 25 games.
This is not only the first consecutive win in the Knicks in history, but also the second consecutive win in the league in history. It has 8 games left before the 33 consecutive wins created by the Lakers in 1972... Well! The Knicks cannot break this season because there are only seven games in the regular season.
so.
"We don't care about winning streaks at all."
“We are a playoff team.”
"That's why Bruce Lee only played for 8 minutes tonight, Zach Randolph played for 11 minutes, and Eddie Griffin played for 12 minutes. We want to train our rotation more than the Spurs. In fact, it proves that the league is the league's number one."
Speaking of this, Isaiah Thomas paused for a moment, and sat at the press conference and said in a powerful voice: "It is no accident that the king has the power to create a classic. The players may have parallel products, but the ace coach is absolutely false!"
Slut a sex!
There was a loud applause at the scene.
Now the Smiling Assassin also has fans in Big Apple City.
Many reporters like this head coach who is unspoken but has amazing strength, and some media even speak out in a blunt manner: Doing what you say is Isaiah Thomas's coaching method!
This sentence made Thomas very happy, and even asked someone to write it down, frame it in the form of Chinese calligraphy and hang it on the wall of his office.
When James Dolan asked, he said modestly: "I always use this sentence to encourage myself. I feel that I have not done enough. Whenever I am humble and complacent, I will look at it..."
Wow!
James Dolan was full of little stars at that time. He felt that everything Isaiah Thomas said was right and that everything he did was charming.
Isaiah Thomas likes this feeling of being worshipped.
He doesn't like others teaching him how to do things...except Bruce.
"Popovich is a good head coach. He met Tim Duncan, just like I met Bruce Lee. However, I am still a little better than him. I hope he will continue to work hard and can score some results in the West. It would be best if he can meet us in the finals at the end of May."
Forehead…….
When Isaiah Thomas said this.
The whole seat was shocked.
Everyone was shocked, shocking Isaiah Thomas actually said the words to enter the finals. This...this...happiness came too suddenly.
New York journalists were very surprised.
They didn't even doubt whether Isaiah Thomas was arrogant because... he was the man who did what he said.
"Isn't it the lowest requirement for the league to enter the finals first?"
Thomas spread his palms out, looking domineering.
To be continued...
