Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Li is awesome again!

The moment the game ended, fans all over the world couldn't hold back.

At the Phoenix scene, despite losing by a huge score, few Suns fans at the scene took the initiative to leave. They all looked at the big screen with their hands on their hips, and from time to time they communicated with their peers around them.

A senior center fan stood up tremblingly and said with a trembling mouth: "5,50 points, this is really, no, incredible."

"Yes, yes, it's too scary."

"This is the first time I've seen this data."

"Are all the new generation of centers so scary now? It's simply outrageous."

"You're so strong, you won't lose unfairly."

"In other words, being able to see such a game live is worth the ticket price, even though I am a Suns fan."

The people around him also echoed, their voices full of surprise and sigh.

No one in NBA history has ever scored more than 50 points on Shaquille O'Neal.

In fact, no one has ever truly defeated a shark.

Many people will say that Olajuwon is an impressionist.

Indeed, Olajuwon's masterpiece was undoubtedly the 1995 Finals, when O'Neal and Big Dream met.

As a result, the team led by O'Neal was swept out 4-0. In the 4 games, O'Neal averaged 28 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists per game. The data was actually very gorgeous, but Olajuwon was even better. He averaged 2.0 assists per game.

He scored 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

This is also the reason why Olajuwon can defeat O'Neal.

But regardless of the total score, judging from the statistics of both sides, it is not a close match. It is true that Olajuwon has a slight advantage.

Throughout their careers, Olajuwon and O'Neal have played against each other 28 times in total, including 20 times in the regular season and 8 times in the playoffs.

In 28 games, O'Neal has an absolute advantage with 17 wins and 11 losses.

Looking at the statistics, O'Neal averaged 22.1 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game during the regular season, with a shooting percentage of 54.4%, and a record of 14 wins and 6 losses. Olajuwon averaged 18.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.7%.

The two played against each other eight times in the playoffs. O'Neal averaged 28.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and a shooting percentage of 55.6%. Olajuwon had 23 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3 assists, and a shooting percentage of 46.5%.

In the playoffs, O'Neal completely displayed the bloodthirst of the "Shark". Not only did his scoring increase, but his efficiency also became better. Olajuwon was not as good as O'Neal in terms of scoring or rebounding.

It can only be said that the young Shark was sanctioned once by the veteran Olajuwon in the finals, so he paid his tuition.

After reading this data, I believe it is difficult for everyone to say that O'Neal was beaten by Big Dream.

Moreover, O'Neal was still a young shark at that time, not at his peak. A shark at his peak was basically invincible. There had never been anyone who could score 50 points on a big shark.

Among the four major centers in ancient times, Olajuwon and O'Neal scored 35 points in a single game, Ewing scored 38 points, and Robinson scored 36 points. But in those games, Olajuwon not only took away the victory, but also scored 30 or even 40 points.

Performance.

On the contrary, Duncan scored 40 twice against O'Neal, but strictly speaking, the two did not lose a position.

As for the later period of the Shark career, Yao once scored 35 points against O'Neal. It is no wonder that the Yao-Shark matchup was a major attraction in the NBA in the past few years. Even though the Shark is after his peak period, not everyone can beat him. Many

People have ridiculed Dayao many times, but no one knows that Dayao has truly reached the ceiling of domestic center players.

If you don't believe it, look at Howard. He has never scored more than 30 points against the Sharks. Comparatively, the difference is clear.

"So do you know what this means!" In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley almost blocked his mouth and shouted in Smith's ear.

"I know, I know, can you calm down? If I become deaf, I will ask you to reimburse the medical expenses!" Smith rolled his eyes, but he could understand Buckley's excitement.

Zuo Li was really fierce tonight.

Before, you could say that Zuo Li scored 50 points because his opponent was not strong enough and because he was lucky. Howard came and took it all.

But tonight!

Zuo Li scored 50 points in front of O'Neal, what else can you say?

O'Neal is old?

A shark is still a shark when he gets old. Howard's statistics were cut in half by an old shark just half a month ago. What else can you say!

In fact, since 2000, except for O'Neal who was so angry on his birthday and Staples defeating the Clippers with 61 points in an away game, no center has ever been able to score in a single game in so many years.

A high score of 50 points or above.

Not to mention someone like Zuo Li, who has scored more than 50 points in three of the first 20 games.

"Zuo Li has proven that he is one of the best centers in the league. We can't help but ask, where is Zuo Li's limit?" Smith said.

Yes, Zuo Li has scored double figures in 24 consecutive games and scored 50 points in 3 games to prove his strength. The outside world has always said that Zuo Li is at the end of his game. He is about to hit a wall, but he is slapped in the face every game.

Time after time, we can't help but wonder, where is Zuo Li's limit?

"Congratulations, my Superman brother." O'Neal hugged Zuo Li in the middle of the court after the game. Now that he is older, O'Neal is not as arrogant and domineering as he used to be. Looking at Zuo Li's young appearance, he can only feel emotion and nostalgia.

Tonight he scored 28 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, which was his best performance this season. However, compared to Zuo Li, he had to admit that there are many talents in this generation. He, the front wave, will be photographed on the beach by the back wave.

Already.

Just like what he did before.

"It's great to be recognized by you, Shaq." Zuo Li responded with a smile. For such a veteran, Zuo Li only has respect. After all, if Shaq was at the top, Zuo Li felt that he would not be able to perform like he did tonight: "

I still have a long way to go.”

The two hugged each other and were captured by reporters. Many reporters felt a sense of nostalgia. The only player in the league who could produce such statistics was O'Neal. The hug between him and Zuo Li had a lot of heritage.

After communicating with O'Neal, Zuo Li looked towards the sun again. He wanted to get acquainted with Nash.

As a result, due to the tragic defeat, many people forgot to shake hands and went directly into the locker room. Only Gentry spread his hands and said something helplessly to D'Antoni. D'Antoni comforted the juniors with a kind face, as if he had experienced it.

appearance.

Zuo Li didn't think too much and went back to the locker room first.

Zuo Li, who got horrific statistics, once again became the darling of the media after the game. Han Xue from CCTV stood at the door of the locker room with her mouth pouted. There were so many people that she couldn't squeeze in.

In the locker room, the interview has already begun.

The voluptuous Zuo Li sucked a lot of film. Many female reporters' eyes widened and they even forgot to ask questions.

It was Smith from the New York Times who coughed twice: "Congratulations to you Zuo Li, you played really well tonight. You scored 50 points against O'Neal. This is the highest score you have ever scored against him. What is your secret?"

"Don't go one-on-one with O'Neal easily."

"Ah, are you serious?"

"Of course!" Zuo Li said as if he was sincere and believed in me.

reporter:"……"

"Then what's the secret to your victory tonight?"

"Improve efficiency. As you know, what Coach D'Antoni is best at is how to attack three times in 24 seconds!"

Reporter: "Pfft, haha, is it really appropriate for you to say that about a coach?"

"He will understand." Zuo Li spread his hands with an innocent look: "In fact, we just follow the coach's requirements, play fast and control our own rhythm."

"Nash said you are the future of the league, what do you think?"

"I wanted to ask him when he took a class with a guy named Tim Duncan..."
