NBA: Starting with James Harden

The Kings attacked.

Evans was very smart this time. He didn't dribble and break through in front of Li Zhen, but rushed forward with the help of Thompson's screen!!

If Nowitzki was there, Li Zhen might not chase the ball and pass it to the inside.

But Li Zhen knew that the Mavericks' inside players might not have the confidence to deal with Evans.

Li Zhen chased frantically.

After Evans passed Li Zhen, he also threw the European step!!

The first step was to cross Haywood, and the second step was to go to the basket for a layup!!

At the moment when he was about to pass the ball to the backboard

""Pop!"

Li Zhen jumped from behind and blocked the shot.

Li Zhen doesn't block many shots because his jumping ability is average.

But this time, Li Zhen accurately judged Evans' final layup point and blocked the shot successfully!

Haywood got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Li Zhen. Li Zhen took the ball and threw it forward to Terry who was running fast.

Terry jumped high and caught the ball successfully. Terry sprinted with the ball and scored the goal!

50 to 66

"A wonderful defensive counterattack. Tyreke Evans couldn't score against Li Zhen after the start of the second half!" Harlan commented.

This defensive counterattack made the fans of the Airline Arena cheer continuously.

The big screen above their heads played replays over and over again.

Li Zhen's defense covered Evans like a big net.

This guy ranked first in the rookie rankings was vulnerable in front of Li Zhen.

A block shot, this is a shameful block!!

Li Zhen easily made an assist after the block. In this way, he showed a higher level than Evans on both offense and defense.

"Beautiful!"Terry wanted to come over and high-five Li Zhen, but Li Zhen said he wanted to bump his chest to celebrate!!!

Terry smiled and accepted Li Zhen's kindness, and the two of them bumped their chests excitedly.

Terry has gradually recognized Li Zhen's status.

All this is due to his strength.

Li Zhen's strength is worthy of the status given to him by the coach!

Strength is the prerequisite for players to be respected both on and off the court!

The Kings continued to attack.

Evans' face darkened. He never thought that Li Zhen's pursuit and defense would come so quickly.

This guy is really fighting!

This time, Evans fell to the low post. After receiving the pass from Udrih, he tried to crush Li Zhen with his body.

"boom!"

"Bang!"

Evans did not gain an advantage in the continuous physical confrontation.

Strength is Li Zhen's strong point.

Evans could only turn around. After turning around, Evans still could not get rid of Li Zhen's defense. He forced a layup.

Under the interference of Li Zhen's long arms, Evans' layup missed.

The rebound was taken by Dampier.

After Li Zhen defended, he made a fast break. Dampier quickly passed the ball to him, and there was another fast break opportunity. The one chasing Li Zhen was Udrih.

Udrih did not have much awareness of guarding against Li Zhen. He was chasing from behind.

Li Zhen felt that someone was chasing him from behind, so he made an emergency stop!!

"Bang!"Udri didn't brake in time and bumped into Li Zhen.

At the same time, Li Zhen pushed the basketball out!!!

"Beep! Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle again and raised his fist, indicating that there was a foul on this ball!

The fans were already used to Li Zhen committing fouls in every game.

They continued to cheer.

Amid the cheers, Li Zhen's three-pointer went straight into the basket!!!

""Swish!"

The ball went through the net!!

Then the referee's arm chopped down fiercely!

The three-pointer was valid, and there was a penalty.

50 to 69.

Kings coach Paul was speechless. It seemed that there was no difference for the Kings whether Nowitzki was there or not.

The score continued to expand, and the Mavericks were still strong!!!

"Ah!!!!"Li Zhen also roared and celebrated with his teammates by high-fiving one by one!!

Then he stood on the free throw line!! After the free throw was made, the score difference also exceeded 20 points!!

The Kings stopped the game!

"Li Zhen played too smartly. Although there was still a long time left, his 3+1 goal also set the final tone for the game between the two sides. The Kings will lose this game!"Van Gundy said decisively.

Van Gundy could see that even without Nowitzki, the Kings would have no chance under the leadership of Li Zhen.

The game after the timeout went just as Van Gundy expected.

The Kings only narrowed the gap to 12 points at most, and they were still a long way from catching up.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Li Zhen with Kidd.

Li Zhen performed the task of temporary leadership very well!

In the end, in the absence of the star player Nowitzki, the score was fixed at 98 to 112. The Mavericks defeated the Kings at home and won the game without any danger.

Game As soon as it was over.

Reporters walked towards Li Zhen, hoping to interview Li Zhen.

Today, Li Zhen scored a career-high 36 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals and 0 turnovers.

Under his leadership, five Mavericks scored in double digits.

Tyreke Evans, who faced Li Zhen, made 5 of 21 shots in the game, scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 turnovers.

Under Li Zhen's defense, Evans seemed at a loss!

While Li Zhen was talking to reporters, Evans quickly slipped into the locker room.

The huge difference in personal performance with Li Zhen made Evans not know how to deal with reporters.

How arrogant he was before the game, how painful his face is now...........

"36 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals and 0 turnovers in 32 minutes? It's incredible. This is a wonderful personal show."Harlan shouted exaggeratedly

"Yes, these are Lee's numbers. I saw this guy dominate the game on both offense and defense! He is simply a smaller version of LeBron!"Van Gundy also said

"With Nowitzki injured, Li Zhen's appearance saved the Mavericks. They won the game with ease. This should be the most exciting game played by Li Zhen so far!" Harlan said.

Van Gundy smiled and said,"I really can't think of a better word to praise his ability. This rookie is really incredible."

Harlan and Van Gundy kept commenting on Li Zhen's personal performance.

This game seemed to be tailor-made for Li Zhen's leadership ability.

Domestic fans were also very excited to see Li Zhen's performance.

"Li Zhen is awesome, he used to be just a little brother, but today he is the leader!"

"So handsome and confident, saving the Mavericks time and time again!"

"The coolest move made by the Mavericks management this year was signing Li Zhen!"

"I hope Li Zhen will stay in the Mavericks after the summer and continue to grow in the Mavericks!!"

In the dormitory, Reba also watched the whole game. She didn't expect Li Zhen to be so good on the court.

All the cameras were pointed at him, and almost all the audience cheered for him.

Boys who play basketball are really cool.

Now Reba wants to learn more about basketball. She even wants to watch the basketball games in the school when she has time.....

Only by knowing more about basketball can we have more topics to talk about with him.

Every girl has her spring feelings, and Reba has also reached the age of first love.

This is the first time she is willing to accept something new for a boy.
