Chapter 1124 Stephen, have you learned it?

140-100, the New York Knicks ushered in their biggest victory of the season. The huge point difference of 40 points also created the largest point difference in a single game this season.

Zuo Li played 37 minutes and 25 seconds, making 18 of 28 shots, 11 of 18 three-pointers, and all 6 free throws. He scored 54 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 blocks.

This is the first 50-plus game in a single game this season, and the 25th 50-plus game for Zuo Li in his career. This number has tied with Kobe Bryant and tied for third place in history. The only other player before him is

Michael Jordan 39 times and Wilt Chamberlain 122 times.

With Zuo Li's efficiency, he will become the only man who has a chance to surpass Chamberlain.

You must know that Zuo Li only played four full seasons, and great players such as Iverson, Rick Barry, and Elgin Baylor only scored 50+ points more than a dozen times in their entire careers. In terms of efficiency, they are all far behind.

Of course, 50+10 is just a by-product of this game. Zuo Li's game is far more shocking than that.

In other words, people have long been accustomed to Zuo Li killing everyone in all directions, but the way he killed everyone tonight really shocked the whole world.

This game is the third time in Zuo Li's career that he has made more than 10 three-pointers in a single game. It can be said that everyone should be prepared.

However, everyone was even more excited about this game than when Zuo Li broke Kobe's single-game three-point record last season. Later, the entire Toyota Center turned against Zuo Li.

Even after Zuo Li was replaced during garbage time in the fourth quarter, some fans shouted "We want Zuo Li" and "We want to see three points"!

Morey's face turned green when he heard this. Calling the opponent's star on his own home turf is the biggest shame for the home team.

But he couldn't find any fault at all. Zuo Li's performance tonight was so shocking. Almost all of his 11 three-pointers were unreasonable, and several ultra-long distances refreshed his outlook.

He also knew for the first time that he could still shoot three-pointers like this and play basketball like this.

That's why Morey didn't even come out to say anything bad about Zuo Li after the game. You must know that Morey has been one of Zuo Li's loyal followers in the past few seasons.

Although Zuo Li almost didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was often pulled out and laughed at.

Even Morey was defeated. One can imagine how those who were originally fans of the left side and neutral fans felt.

"Zuo Li's three-pointer tonight really overturned my understanding of basketball. When I was playing, the coach would always tell me, pass the damn basketball in and give it to the big man, they will end the game.

!" Kenny Smith sighed: "Think about it, he probably won't know that this is how the big man solves the game now."

"That's right. Not many of us knew how to shoot back then, including Bird, who didn't shoot all the time. He even said that, "Three-pointers are the choice of the weak." I don't know if he will change his view after tonight.

"Barkley was also filled with emotion.

Is this the direction of progress for big men?

After Zuo Li was born, achieved Grand Slams in several seasons, and established a dynasty, people believed that Zuo Li represented the ultimate form of modern basketball insiders.

He has outstanding height, unbeatable wingspan, not too heavy but excellent in confrontation, has excellent ball intelligence and ball feel, can be inside and outside, has unbeatable feet, and has outstanding vision. He has the advantages of almost all the big men in the league in the past 70 years.

, master a variety of invincible offensive and defensive skills.

The most outrageous thing is that he is the first player who can truly play five positions.

How can such a guy improve? Where can he improve?

As a result, Zuo Li told everyone with practical actions that those who say they cannot improve are still too young. There is no limit to basketball, and it is definitely not just words.

Zuo Li was incredible tonight. He could suddenly shoot three-pointers while dribbling, he could shoot three-pointers when flanked, he could create space in pick-and-rolls and shoot three-pointers, he could run without the ball, catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and he could even do three-pointers.

Three points...

Not only is the shooting method difficult to predict, but it also covers the entire offensive half, truly 360 degrees with no blind spots.

A three-pointer gave Zuo Li a chance to play.

ESPN said that Zuo Li defeated the Rockets in the least center-forward way.

But you can't question it, because according to statistics, the Knicks still have an advantage in scoring inside!

40-28, the lead is not small!

Where can I go to explain this?

Of course, many people will say that it is because the Rockets are too hot inside. Although David Lee is not a top star, he is really good at playing tricks.

Asik: Shut up, do you know how hard I work!

To be honest, the Rockets' inside line is indeed not outstanding this season, but it cannot be said to be a shortcoming. After all, Asik's most glorious performance in his entire career has been with the Rockets.

Later, the Rockets brought in Howard, so there was no problem inside, but so what, it wasn't as effective as Capela later.

The reason why the Rockets were beaten like this has nothing to do with whether the inside line is good or not. This is an epoch-making tactical crushing.

Zuo Li was also very excited after the game. This is because the rules have not been completely changed. If this happens in two seasons, I don’t know how the Rockets will be beaten tonight!

Of course, winning this game is secondary. What he cares more about is whether Curry has learned it!

Zuo Li didn't ask because he felt that this thing needed to be shown on the court!

On November 26, the Knicks returned to New York to face the Pistons.

A long-lost underdog, before the game, Zuo Li patted Curry on the shoulder, and everything was understood without saying a word.

Curry nodded, his expression solemn, with the determination of heroic sacrifice.

Zuo Li had a black line on his face. He was just playing ball, not fighting. Why don't he be so tight?

It's so tight, how can this shot not change its shape?

Sure enough, Zuo Li guessed correctly. Curry was indeed determined in this game. Although he still did not dare to take various difficult three-pointers like later generations, he obviously dared to take them.

The three-pointers in various dribbles are also very similar.

This is the hit rate...

so so.

14 shots were taken, only 4 goals were thrown in, 10 irons in a single game, and he was selected as the reverse MVP of the game after the game...

Barkley commented on him: "If it weren't for Stephen Curry, the Knicks might have gotten off work long ago."

It is indeed a bit ironic. Although Curry scored 22 points, his 31% shooting rate is really not good-looking.

Of course, the impact is not big. The Pistons are still too weak. After Prince and Hamilton left the team last season, all the top five Pistons left the team. They are currently in a long rebuilding period.

102-94, the Knicks won another victory.

But even though he won, Curry certainly received a lot of criticism. Many media felt that his waste of three-pointers made the Knicks play so difficult.

Zuo Li doesn't care. It's always good to take the first step. Now Curry has the taste of future generations. He believes that as the number of games increases, Curry will get used to it.

However, Zuo Li's game ignored one thing, that is, the confidence of Curry in later generations also gradually accumulated, and now it seems to be a bit counterproductive...
