Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Durant didn't get his revenge in the end.

In the fourth quarter, Durant had serious physical problems and had to hand over most of the ball to Westbrook.

He only scored 4 points in this quarter.

Westbrook, who had been holding back for a long time, teamed up with Harden, who had been working hard to develop, and scored 19 points in a single quarter.

However, it was too late.

Because after playing the first three quarters, Zuo Li, who scored 44 points, still did not stop his pace. He continued to play steadily, taking both inside and outside into consideration, and scored 11 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Thunder, which was second in the Western Conference, 109-98.

Zuo Li played for 48 minutes and made 21 goals in 28 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. His shooting rate was as high as 75%. He scored 55 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals.

There were also 4 fouls and 2 turnovers.

This is Zuo Li's third 50+ game this season and the only three 50+ games in the league.

Durant played 40 minutes, took 34 shots and hit 10 goals, including 3 of 11 three-pointers, 11 of 15 free throws, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, with a shooting rate of only 29.4%, and 6 more shots.

Turnovers and 5 fouls.

From the data point of view, Zuo Li undoubtedly crushed Durant, and from the results point of view, the Knicks always maintained the lead and finally won the victory smoothly. It can be said that it was an overall victory for the individual and the team.

Judging from Durant's behavior of breaking the defense and leaving the arena directly after the game without accepting any interviews, I guess he also approved it.

Of course, according to Thunder coach Brooks, the main reason for Durant's departure was that he was exhausted due to excessive physical exertion, so he needed to return to Oklahoma in advance for further examination and recovery.

Ahem, to be honest, Brooks' original intention was good, and the coach who protects the players is the qualified coach, but this reason is too ridiculous, and now the whole world knows that Durant is in vain.

However, Brooks also had something to say. After the game, he complained in front of the media that Durant received too many defensive actions, which caused Durant's touch to decline.

"To be honest, I don't know what the referee thinks. I think rough defense is not part of the game. We need to protect our players." Brooks said.

However, Brooks' words obviously did not get everyone's approval. After all, Durant made more free throws than Zuo Li.

You must know that Durant only scored in one penalty area in the whole game, and Zuo Li's main goal tonight was to dominate with the ball.

It is said that the defense Durant encountered was rough, but what about Zuo Li?

Perkins and Ibaka were attacking Zuo Li like crazy throughout the game. Once they broke through, they would be double-teamed by three or more people. This kind of defense was no worse than what Durant encountered.

The two have different performances. It can only be said that there is indeed a gap between the two in strength.

After the game, Barkley said bluntly: "If Durant is invincible, then Zuo Li is invincible. This game proved that Durant is very strong, but he still has weaknesses. His back is not strong enough.

He has poor confrontation and lacks the ability to break double teams. Once he encounters a strong defense, he will be at a loss."

"As for Zuo Li, I don't see any weaknesses in him. He can play inside and outside, has excellent touch, outstanding golf intelligence, and unmatched physical fitness. After the game, you couldn't even tell that Zuo Li was a guy who played the whole game.

"

"So, don't be unconvinced. Compared with the current Zuo Li, Durant still has a lot to improve."

Barkley's words were basically recognized by more than 90% of the fans. After all, the data does not lie.

What makes Zuoli fans happy is that Zuoli also achieved his pre-match goal. After this game, Zuoli officially topped the scoring list this season.

"With 13 games left, Zuo Li is very likely to defend the scoring title. If he performs stably, he will have the opportunity to become the first player in the new century to win the scoring title for three consecutive years," Kenny said.

There are currently only three players in this century who can win consecutive scoring titles, namely Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant.

And there is no one who has won the scoring title three times in a row. If Zuo Li can keep it up, he will become the seventh player in history to win the scoring title three times in a row.

This honor is absolutely valuable to fourth-year Zuo Li.

Now, many people think that Zuo Li has the flavor of Jordan. As the man with the most scoring titles, Jordan's ten scoring titles have always been the ceiling. Many people think that Zuo Li may touch this record in the future.

Zuo Li himself didn't think so far. After all, he still needed to continue to accumulate. Moreover, it was a 7-consecutive scoring champion and a 3-consecutive scoring champion. If he set such a high goal from the beginning, he might be exhausted.

After successfully surpassing the top scorer list, Zuo Li set his sights on other lists. As a big center, he is also recognized by the outside world as the number one center in the league. It is unreasonable that he currently ranks second in the rebounding list.

So in the next few games, Zuo Li increased his efforts to protect the inside. In the next four games, Zuo Li dominated the inside, getting 21, 20, 22 and 23 rebounds respectively, and averaged 16.1 per game.

Rebounds surpassed Love and moved into first place.

However, many Zuohei feel that Zuo Lisheng is weak. After all, Love has missed many games due to injury. According to Love's state this season, if he deliberately brushes up, he might actually be able to get a high number of rebounds.

However, Love himself immediately posted on INS, saying that Zuo Li's rebounding king is genuine and not fake, and he will continue to learn from Zuo Li.

It has to be said that Love has a high emotional intelligence, and these words quickly won the favor of many fans.

It is said that Love's emotional intelligence seems to be always online. Whether he was being sprayed with data in the Timberwolves or taking the blame for two big guys in the Cavaliers, he never expressed anything.

The most typical one is the record that was forced to be terminated by Ou Shenxian. In that game, Love had a blast in the first quarter and scored 34 points in a single quarter. Seeing that Love was about to break Thompson's record in this game, the whole team was giving it a try.

Love made the ball, but Irving refused to pass the ball and deliberately sabotaged himself holding the ball three times in a row. As a result, Love missed the record. If Zuo Li were to meet him, he would probably have broken up long ago.

But Love endured it and even spoke for Irving after the game. I have to say that he was indeed a team player.

However, Zuo Li’s rebound count is nothing to discuss. After all, Zuo Li’s average rebounds per game include 6.5 offensive rebounds. This number leads the league and is three times that of Love. This means that not only does Zuo Li not have

How many rebounds are squeezed out from teammates, but the rebounds from opponents are squeezed out.

Such a performance can be shaken by a few black men with a few sarcastic words.

In this way, Zuo Li once again completed the three-way dominance, and Zuo Li once again occupied the top spot in scoring, rebounding, and blocks.

After a year, Zuo Li once again proved to people his height and comprehensiveness.

Zuoli fans said cheerfully: "This Zuoli is the same, how come there is no progress at all!"
