NBA: I'm really the Chosen One

Chapter 228: Dignity
At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Zheng and Stoudemire still had no communication. The wrestling between the two was like a pantomime, or they were communicating without any obstacles, but the fans could not see their spiritual world.

The Suns finally replaced the crazy three-person double-team with Stoudemire and Hill's double defense. This change even surprised Portland fans. Normal things, although the Suns are already behind by a big score, but Li Zheng and Stoudemire are present, they are not worried that there will be no wonderful rounds to watch.

Li Zheng was a little worried. Siu Si in front of him was like a volcano about to erupt. He didn't know if the hot magma would burn his brothers.

Li Zheng vaguely remembers that he forced James to enter the zone without opening the zone, but this situation is rare after all. Aside from the zone, Li Zheng is also a hexagonal fighter with full attribute values. If Stoudemire enters the state, The Blazers really have no one to stop Stoudemire except themselves.

After a few rounds, McMillan called a timeout. Although the intermission had just passed, Li Zheng was still too tired. McMillan did not want the sun to keep consuming Li Zheng. Li Zheng was not only the core of the Blazers, but also The Blazers' defensive core and offensive core, he couldn't bear to watch Li Zheng continue to fight with Stoudemire, so he called this timeout while adjusting his tactics.

Li Zheng was replaced by McMillan for a rest. Stoudemire chose to stay on the court. McMillan held down Li Zheng who was about to play. Stoudemire has always had two people sharing his defensive pressure, while Li Zheng has been carrying three. For personal defense, Li Zheng needs to rest, and the leading edge of the Blazers can also allow Li Zheng to rest at ease.

If Li Zheng has to play at this time, then the other players of the Blazers have failed too much.

Stoudemire has a stern face, and his unsmiling appearance is not at all like his original character, more like Duncan of the Spurs. The silent Stoudemire gave the Suns players a great sense of security. After the Blazers gained a huge lead, it was obvious. A little relaxed, a little slack in shooting, and not enough defense, the Suns recovered 4 points.

But the Blazers' lead was too great, and the substitutes obviously didn't take it seriously. McMillan frowned and watched the substitutes look a little smug. They even played fast break with the Suns, although Hill and O'Neal were old But they still taught these young people a lesson.

"Coach. Let me go." Roy couldn't stand it anymore. Even Blake, who had always been prudent, started to play alley-oops. These substitutes said they would do their best to play in the playoffs, but it depends on this game In performance, they almost had embarrassment written on their faces.

"Let them adjust for a while." McMillan said displeasedly, and declined Roy's request. At the beginning of the season, the Trail Blazers relied on Li Zheng and Roy to give these people the bottom line to achieve today's results. He knew that if he wanted to go far, he couldn't just rely on Li Zheng and Roy, but he found sadly that the team he had coached for a whole season was the most reliable ones.

"The Suns are only 9 points away from catching up. This is the Suns in my mind. They are very tough," the magician praised the Suns' toughness. They were 17 points behind the Trail Blazers. Who would have thought that they would recover so many points in the third quarter by relying on the main force not to leave the game?
"However, the physical strength of the Suns' main force is a big problem if we continue to play like this. They have many veteran players. If we continue to play like this, it feels like the Blazers have the advantage."

McMillan had to call a timeout, and two timeouts were called in the third quarter. He lost to D'Antoni in terms of coaching and tactical reserves, but he has an advantage that D'Antoni does not have, that is,
"Lee, let's play." McMillan patted Li Zheng's shoulder, "Kill them."

Li Zhengbi made an ok gesture and drank the coke in the cup in one gulp. His tired body instantly felt refreshed.

"Li, with your expression, I always feel that there is something in your Coke." Randolph said, looking at the lively Li Zheng.

When the game started, McMillan's face instantly became extremely ugly. Li Zheng missed the game this time!D'Antoni tricked the Blazers!The Suns replaced all the main players and replaced them with substitutes, and instead of the main substitutes such as Diaw and Kurt Thomas, he replaced them with water cooler players who had never played in the playoffs.

That clumsy look makes people wonder how these guys got into the NBA, and the old arms and old legs. Portland fans are afraid that Li Zheng will hit them when he breaks through. The arrangement of the Suns is simply too murderous. Punishment!Seeing that we were under pressure from chasing points, and then deployed tactics to boost morale, it turned out that the Suns surrendered directly. This feeling of constipation made all the Blazers suffocate.

D'Antoni stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, and shrugged provocatively towards Li Zheng, as if to welcome Li Zheng to kill him. It is not only disgraceful for Li Zheng to face these guys and change his stats to 20 or 30 points. Rather, it is an ugly act.

This kind of behavior of giving you a punch and then apologizing and not hitting, even Li Zheng's emotions were provoked into anger. He looked at the proud D'Antoni until the cold eyes made D'Antoni feel cold all over. D'Antoni hurried Avoiding his sight, he returned to the Suns bench with a dry cough.

After Li Zhengdan played twice, he gave up and continued to shoot. This group of remnants were defeated, and they were opponents who had no resistance. Li Zheng also had no desire to continue attacking. 15 points.

Just looking at the statistics, Roy, who scored 43 points, and Adelaide, who scored 21 points, completely crushed Li Zheng. Statistically, it completely crushed Li Zheng's 24+9.

Rather than being a sympathetic loser, Stoudemire wants to be the one who wins the game. Of course, he will never interfere with the game like the Spurs did.

Mentality is also an important condition for becoming great, which is what Li Zheng taught himself.

Stoudemire covered his face with a towel. This is the result of inferior skills. In order to win, they had to find another way, even if it seemed unsportsmanlike, but the Spurs' victory last year has told the sun that history is written by the winner Yes, Stoudemire will not do something so extreme and sinister, but he is willing to give up something called dignity and face in order to win.
