Courtney's appearance became a turning point in this game.
Although he is a good shooter, he can't restrict Li Zhen's actions, he can only passively follow him to **** the exhaust. The fierce offensive set off by Bruce was like a raging fire that swallowed the University of Southern California in an instant.
The University of Southern California must pay for their arrogance.
They didn't take Stanford's eyes from the start.
The coaching staff did not collect before the game, and the tactical response was zero. When they heard that the two core players of Stanford University were injured, the head coach had already run, and their spirits immediately stopped in a state of extreme relaxation.
This is why Pruitt took two teammates to the party the night before and went to party and indulged in alcoholism.
From top to bottom, no one takes Stanford seriously.
But after playing, the thin No. 10 point guard gave them a dismounted horse. He led the team to launch a fierce run like the Phoenix Suns. Although Pruitt knocked him over twice, in the end, he sprained his ankle to rest because of defense.
Immediately afterwards, though Nick Young was still brave. He used 12 of 25 shots and scored 29 points to prove that he is a strong contender for the most valuable player in the Pacific Division.
However, he failed to bring victory to his team.
His efficiency is too low.
Although Stanford did not have star players, they all worked together. Their shooter, their striker is even more powerful under the leadership of Li Zhen. Everyone is clever and accurate to complete their tasks, especially Scott and Thomson, these two good friends of Bruce get the most opportunities.
Thomson made 5 of 9 shots from outside the 3-point line, scoring 24 points in the game.
Although Scott does not have the shooting ability, but by virtue of the pick-and-roll cooperation with Li Zhen, he also relies on directly attacking the basket to score 17 points and 9 rebounds.
If he has a stable middle distance, his score may well exceed 30 points. Many times because the opponent stuck in the penalty area in advance, he had to pass the ball twice after receiving the basketball, resulting in a waste of opportunity.
Of course, the most shining star in this game is Li Zhen.
Although he only played 28 minutes because of physical limitations.
But everyone knows that he is the best actor and director of this 'Xia Ke Shang' counterattack performance. If it weren't for his quick maneuver to raise the rhythm and push Southern California's half-court play to passive, Southern California would still win the game.
And his speed, his ability to play, his organizational talent are the key details of this victory.
10 points, 15 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds of comprehensive data can not explain his influence.
In this game, Li Zhen finally harvested the first nickname in his life.
When he stole a rebound from the rim in the fifth minute of the second half, he launched a fierce counterattack, and quickly turned to the center of the court near the center line. Courtney, with Nick Young's defense, went all the way to three points. Inside the line, after receiving the ball and accelerating away from the top scorer in the Pacific Division, Magic Johnson could no longer resist the excitement in his heart, he screamed: "This is not Bruce Lee, this is Stanford's little lightning !! "
When a reporter from Time Warner asked Li Zhen about his nickname, Li Zhen said with a smile: "Thank you to Magic Johnson, I like this nickname very much. He is also my idol and many of my passing moves. It 's all from his videotape. He tapped my passion for basketball and made me fall in love with the point guard position. "
When Li Zhen's words were transmitted to the studio through the TV signal, the magician seemed very happy.
"I 've said that before, Jonny. His passing is very familiar, it turned out that I learned from my tape. I really like this guy, if I have time, I do n't mind going to Stanford 's training hall to teach him some actions in person, he A very talented point guard, I hope he gets better and better. "
The magician said excitedly.
No one can resist this sincere compliment and heartfelt respect, and of course the magician is no exception.
If ... Time Warner 's signals can support a connected call, Johnson would like to immediately discuss with Li Zhen "The Self-cultivation of the Point Guard in the New Era and New Environment".
In fact, the reporter asked a similar question.
He asked why Li Zhen's tactics tonight will be very different from Stanford's previous play, and how to think about his positioning in the new tactics.
"You know, we regretted losing two core players before this. We have to change it. Coach Jamielin did a lot of desk work based on our existing lineup. Through his superb tactical layout capabilities, we finally found out This quick attack and defense play. "
"And my position in this set of tactics is the organizer of the ball controller, responsible for improving our rhythm, and then quickly communicating the basketball when the teammates are available."
Li Zhenzi's words and sentences are all emphasizing the role of Jamie Lin, he weakened his ability.
He hopes that through this victory, Jamie Lin's talent will be recognized and he will become Stanford's head coach.
Then, the reporter really asked about the coach McHani leaving the team.
However, his question is slightly sharper, a bit provocative: "In the absence of the head coach, you still won this counterattack victory. May I ask, do you think the previous tactical system is not suitable for Stanford?"
"No. Your understanding is not comprehensive. I mean, coach Jamielin made the best plan based on the existing lineup. And when we have all the staff, coach McHani coaches The idea is the best. "
Bruce said in a leak-free way: "And, the head coach is doing more important work. He is working hard for our team to have a better future, and all of us are proud of having such a coach."
Li Zhen obviously does not want to make things into coach disputes under the media's provocation, which is definitely not a good thing for Jamie Lin. After all, Coach McHani has a pivotal position in the California basketball circle. Jamie Lin is just a fledgling Chinese assistant. Even if he wins a beautiful victory, it is not enough to pose any threat to McHani.
Instead, once angered McHani, he is likely to be directly fired by the sports committee.
In fact, Jamielin also called McHani immediately to report.
McHani was a little weird about winning this victory. So, after encouraging Jamie Lin, he turned on the TV.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Li Zhen's post-game picture on Time Warner Channel.
Li really replied that he was very satisfied.
He smiled and nodded, and said in his mouth: The talents who can pass Harvard are really different. If his resistance is better, how good it should be. I will not remove him from the name.
For McHani, removing Bruce next season is a very difficult choice. Li Zhen has always been a smart and hardworking player in his mind. However, due to the limited number of players on the roster, he must make a choice. Although he is very dissatisfied with Chris Pat, he is after all the cousin of ace player Tj Wharton: he can only raise this waste.
Ugh!
He sighed: It would be nice if Bruce's cousin was Tj Ford.
At this time, Time Warner began to replay the wonderful picture of the game.
When he saw the first shot, he was completely dumbfounded.
How could this be?
Is this still Bruce?
