Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 1052 The Knicks are too strong (Part 1)

It has always been Zuo Li's regret that he has not improved much in his steals. From the first season to now, Zuo Li's various statistics have improved a lot, and his dominance on the field has also improved by more than one and a half points. However, his steal data is still at the same level. Over the past few seasons, Zuo Li has

They all hover around 1 time.

"I don't know if continuing to improve my vision and speed can make my steals even better."

Looking at Paul's bald head on the steals list, Zuo Li formulated his next development plan.

If the outside world was lamenting that Zuo Li had dominated the regular season for three consecutive years, and the surprised and helpless audience knew that Zuo Li still had a desire to rank in the steals list, they would probably be so surprised that they could not close their mouths.

Wake up!

You are a center. How can a center think about steals all day long? Do you still want to steal Paul's steal title? Are you ready to steal all the jobs of the defenders?

But this is Zuo Li, his eyes are always looking forward, and basketball should never stop.

Who says a center is a defender’s dream!

But Zuo Li also knew that even if he asked Paul for advice on tackling, it would probably not have any immediate effect. After all, tackling has a huge relationship with position.

The most obvious problem is that Zuo Li always defends players behind the frame, while Paul mostly faces the frame.

So Zuo Li just sighed. It is probably impossible to dominate the fifth list.

Of course, you still have to learn and learn by analogy.

After briefly looking at the data list, Zuo Li opened the video with satisfaction and began to watch the typical regular season video of the 76ers, their opponent in the first round of the playoffs.

From this moment on, the data is forgotten and everything enters the playoff rhythm.

He won't take a photo to show off his statistics on Instagram. By the way, he is number one in the league. For him, number one should be what others say, not what he brags about.

What's more, the season is not over yet, and the championship is still waiting for him.

Of course, this is just Zuo Li's character.

Not so with the media.

At the end of the regular season, in addition to the analysis of the first round of the playoffs and the major rankings of the season, what people are most concerned about is of course the selection of various awards in the regular season. Zuo Li's data this season is still unsolvable, although many people

They feel that he has made "no progress" and his various statistics have even dropped. Many black people think that Zuo Li should not be considered for various awards.

However, the fact is that he leads the MVP rankings all the way. Even ESPN thinks that Zuo Li's MVP award is not news, and it is not news if he doesn't win it.

After all, except for Zuo Li this season, even the amazing Durant is still far behind.

Therefore, most media believe that Zuo Li will still achieve the same dominance of major awards as last season.

"Of course, except for the Most Improved Award." O'Neal used such humorous words on the show to refute the outside world's comments.

In addition to regular season awards, people also naturally look forward to the playoffs and finals.

Zuo Li and Knicks are still unavoidable names.

The first is the Knicks. This is a critical moment for whether they can establish the first dynasty in team history. For them, this is very, very important. It means that they have officially become a giant in the NBA.

It is even very important to everyone who likes basketball in the city of New York. As the largest market in the NBA, if you can build your own dynasty, what does that mean? No need to say more, knowledgeable fans will know it.

For Zuo Li, if everything goes well, he will have the opportunity to achieve the super achievement of winning the Grand Slam of Honor for three consecutive seasons by winning the championship and finals MVP again.

This is an area that even the great Michael Jordan has never touched, and it will become the most important weight for him to compete for the best in history in the future.

Therefore, this year's playoffs are very crucial.

…

As the saying goes, happiness leads to chaos. Although the Knicks look very strong, some people still think that the Knicks will capsize.

This is nothing new. After all, many teams that have competed for three consecutive championships have overturned when they were highly optimistic.

For example, the Rockets brought together Olajuwon, Barkley, Drexler and other talented players.

So before the first round of the playoffs, there were quite a few people who badmouthed the Knicks.

However, the Knicks in the opening game soon dispelled people's doubts with practical actions.

…

The playoff roster is exactly what one imagines.

Center: Zuo Li, Anderson, Ewing Jr.

Power forward: Randolph, David Lee.

Small forward: Shane Battier, Danny Green.

Shooting Guard: Crawford, Klay Thompson.

Point guard: Curry, Dragic, Beverley.

The 12-man roster is exactly the same as the regular season.

On the afternoon of April 27, the Knicks team held the last training session before the start of the playoffs. The Knicks faced the 76ers in the first round of the series, aiming to sweep them.

According to the matchup, the Knicks will meet the winner between the Pacers and the Hawks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

According to Zuo Li's estimation, the two teams are likely to play more than six games. As long as the Knicks sweep, they will have a good physical advantage in the next round.

Both the Hawks and the Pacers are a bit unfamiliar with the Knicks. They have not met in the playoffs in the past two years, and the Knicks also hope to have a longer study time.

Therefore, in the first round, the German coach will not have any reservations.

On the evening of the 28th, all the chairs in Madison Square Garden were filled with white T-shirts. The entire Madison Square Garden turned into a sea of ​​white. Close-ups also showed the T-shirts worn by the home fans many times.

.

But these fans are different, they are not ordinary fans.

For example, Elizabeth Olsen is one of them. Her T-shirt is very big and looks like a dress, but she ties Zuoli's jersey lightly around her waist, revealing her good figure at a glance.

And beside her, there was the widowed sister who wore a T-shirt as a low-cut top, and Xue Fu, whose lower clothes were missing...

Such beautiful scenery can only be seen here.

The 76ers' rough guys were all stunned. This is so foul. Who the hell can focus on playing basketball like this?

This is a capitalist conspiracy!

Of course, in fact, the 76ers did not have any black-eight thoughts from top to bottom. This is not the original history, and there was no injured Rose to give him a black-eight.

Even if the 76ers are lucky enough to make it to the playoffs, Iguodala, who has been in the league for many years, is no longer the proud boy he once was. Years of consecutive failures have made him realize that his abilities can only be

He has led the team into the playoffs. If he wants to go further, he needs more powerful legs.

Look at James...

What a role model...

Ahem, the consequences of James joining the gang have begun to show, and the era of joining the gang is coming soon.

Of course, if they can beat the Knicks in Madison, it's not impossible, and it means they paid off.

But unfortunately, the 76ers starting lineup composed of Iguodala, Turner, Holiday, Brand, and Batty could not even last until the second quarter...
