Courtney's appearance became the turning point of the game.

Although he is a good shooter, he cannot restrict Li Zhen's movements and can only passively follow behind him and suck the exhaust. The fierce offensive launched by Bruce was like a raging fire that instantly engulfed the University of Southern California.

USC must pay for their arrogance.

They never paid attention to Stanford from the beginning.

The coaching staff did not conduct pre-match gatherings at all, and had zero tactical response. When they heard that two of Stanford's core players were injured and the head coach had already left, their spirits immediately stopped in an extremely relaxed state.

This is why Pruitt took two teammates to a party the night before, drinking and having sex.

From top to bottom, no one takes Stanford seriously.

But after coming on the field, the thin No. 10 point guard gave them a powerful start. He led the team to launch a fierce running and gunning like the Phoenix Suns. Although Pruitt knocked him over twice, in the end he sprained because of the defense.

The ankle rested.

Immediately afterwards, although Nick Young was still brave. He scored 29 points on 12 of 25 shots to prove that he is a strong contender for the Pacific Division's Most Valuable Player.

However, he failed to bring victory to his team.

His efficiency is too low.

Although Stanford has no star players, they work together. Their shooters and forwards are even more powerful under the leadership of Li Zhen. Everyone completes their tasks smartly and accurately, especially Scott and Thomson.

Bruce's best friend gets the most opportunities.

Thomson made 5 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 24 points in the game.

Although Scott has no shooting ability, he scored 17 points and 9 rebounds by cooperating with Li Zhen in the pick-and-roll and directly attacking the basket.

If he has a stable mid-range hand, he is likely to score more than 30 points. Many times it is because the opponent blocks the penalty area in advance, and he has to pass the ball twice after receiving the basketball, resulting in a waste of opportunities.

Of course, the most shining star in this game is Li Zhen.

Although he only played 28 minutes due to physical limitations.

But everyone knows that he is the best actor and director of this "bottom to top" counterattack performance. If he hadn't quickly and flexibly raised the tempo and pushed Southern California's half-court play into a passive position, this game would have been

The game Southern California will still win.

And his speed, his ability to play the ball, and his organizational talent are the key details that contributed to this victory.

The comprehensive statistics of 10 points, 15 assists, 2 steals and 2 rebounds cannot explain his influence.

In this game, Li Zhen finally received his first nickname in his life.

When he stole a rebound from the basket in the fifth minute of the second half, he launched a fierce counterattack, and used a quick change of direction near the midline to pass Courtney, who was covering the defense, and led Nick Young's defense all the way to a three-pointer.

Inside the line, he collected the ball and then accelerated to throw away the leading scorer in the Pacific Division. Magic Johnson could no longer hold back his excitement. He screamed: "This is not Bruce Lee, this is Stanford's Little Lightning!!"

"

When a sideline reporter from Time Warner asked Li Zhen what he thought of this nickname, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Thank you Magic Johnson. I like this nickname very much. He is also my idol. Many of my passing moves."

It all came from his tapes. He tapped into 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 it before, Jonny. His passing moves are very familiar. It turns out he learned them from my video tape. I like this guy very much. If I have time, I wouldn't mind going to Stanford's training hall to teach him some moves in person. He

He is a very talented point guard and I hope he gets better and better."

The magician said excitedly.

No one can resist such sincere compliments and heartfelt respect, and magicians are certainly no exception.

If... Time Warner's signal can support online calls, Johnson can't wait to discuss "The Self-cultivation of Point Guards in the New Era and New Environment" with Li Zhen immediately.

In fact, reporters also asked similar questions.

He asked Li Zhen why tonight's tactics were completely different from Stanford's previous tactics, and how he viewed his position in the new tactics.

"As you know, we regrettably lost two core players before this. We must make changes. Coach Jamie Lin did a lot of desk work based on our existing lineup. Through his superb tactical layout capabilities, we finally figured out how to make changes.

Come up with this quick attack and defense style."

"My position in this tactic is as a ball-handling organizer, responsible for increasing our rhythm, and then quickly passing the basketball to my teammates when they are open."

Every word Li Zhen emphasizes is Jamie Lin's role, and he weakens his own abilities.

He hopes that through this victory, Jamie Lin's talent will be recognized and he can successfully become the head coach of Stanford.

Then, the reporter asked about head coach McHaney's departure from the team.

However, his question was a bit sharp and meant to sow discord: "In the absence of the head coach, you still won this counterattack victory. Do you think the previous tactical system is not suitable for Stanford?"

"No. Your understanding is incomplete. What I mean is that Coach Jamie Lin made the optimal plan based on the existing lineup. And when we have all the players, Coach McHaney's coaching

The concept is the best.”

Bruce said without missing a beat: "Moreover, the head coach is doing more important work. He is working hard for a better future for our team. All of us are proud to have such a coach."

Li Zhen obviously does not want the matter to turn into a coaching dispute under the instigation of the media, which is definitely not a good thing for Jamie Lin. After all, coach McHaney has a pivotal position in the California basketball circle, and Jamie Lin is just a fledgling.

A Chinese assistant coach, even if he wins a beautiful victory, it is not enough to pose any threat to McHaney.

On the contrary, once McHaney is angered, he is likely to be fired directly by the sports committee.

In fact, Jamie Lin also called McHaney immediately to report.

McHaney was a little unbelievable about winning this victory. So, after encouraging Jamie Lin, he turned on the TV.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Li Zhen's post-game footage on Time Warner Channel.

Li Zhen's answer satisfied him very much.

He nodded with a smile and murmured: The top students who can get into Harvard are really different. It would be great if his confrontation ability were better. I wouldn't remove him.

For McHaney, it is a very difficult choice to remove the Blues next season. Li Zhen has always been a smart and hard-working player in his heart. But due to the limited number of players on the roster, he must make a choice. Although he has

Lispert was very dissatisfied, but after all, he was the cousin of the ace player T.J. Walton: he could only support this waste.

well!

He sighed: It would be great if Bruce's cousin was TJ Ford.

At this time, Time Warner began to play back the highlights of the game.

When he saw the first shot, he was completely dumbfounded.

how so?

Is this still blues?
