Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

On the 26th, taking advantage of the afterglow of Christmas, the Knicks finally gathered again after a three-day holiday. According to the familiar script, everyone should be doing recovery training on the side of the court while chatting about the three-day holiday.

Interesting anecdotes, as well as all kinds of dirty jokes about the third lane, the locker room in the offseason is so simple and beautiful...

But everyone today was obviously attracted by the figure on the training ground.

The team assembles at 9 o'clock in the morning and starts training after a brief training. The morning is recovery training. Everyone can choose their own recovery method or bring their own trainer for training.

But before that, Zuo Li had been sweating profusely on the court for 2 hours.

But this is nothing new. If Zuo Li doesn’t practice more, can he still be called Zuo Li? What attracts everyone is obviously the content of Zuo Li’s training.

"Is this a hook shot?" Little Ewing was pedaling his bicycle aside, staring intently at the court.

"You, a center, still need to ask me." David Lee, who was playing with him, glanced at Ewing disdainfully.

"What I mean is, when will the boss know how to hook? Isn't he a violent person? He can solve it with a dunk and never makes unnecessary moves."

"Tsk, this is not easy, a man just wants to be good at everything!" David Lee crossed his arms.

"What kind of social quote did you read in some crappy magazine?"

"Master Success Learning!"

"...throw it away quickly, you can no longer play the fool! It's too similar!"

"Fuck, you, a person who has been going to nightclubs for three days in a row, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? Do you know the inside story?"

"...I'll sue you for insult, believe it or not!"

The two idiots in New York have started a new love and killing relationship.

…

Next door, D'Antoni and his assistant coach were watching Zuo Li's training and kept writing and drawing on paper.

"In the future, we can arrange more low-post tactics for Zuo Li." D'Antoni watched for a while and said to the assistant coach.

"clear!"

"Zuo Li, we are going to shock the world again." D'Antoni turned his head and smiled happily.

Maybe this is genius...

…

The next day, on the 27th, the NBA will finally reignite the war.

The New York Knicks and their party also came to the far western city of New Orleans, where the second season match against the Hornets will begin.

This game has also attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. After all, it is because although there is no Christmas game, it has been at the center of the Christmas topic and successfully stole the show. Although it is currently overtaken by the Cavaliers by one victory, as long as they win tonight, they will still be on top again.

The New York Knicks' first game after Christmas.

As if to make up for the regret of not having the Knicks in the Christmas game, this game against the Hornets was temporarily added to the luxury package of national live broadcast.

Of course, broadcasters such as espn and tnt were all present and sent their best commentators to explain the game.

After hearing the news, Hornets fans felt sour and sweet at the same time. Sweet because they had never been treated to back-to-back national broadcasts before, but sour because this treatment was obviously for the New York Knicks!

However, even die-hard fans of the Hornets have to admit that the current Hornets really have no way to compete with the Knicks for popularity.

As the biggest dark horse last season and one step away from reaching the Western Conference Finals, the Hornets are still a strong team in name this season. At the beginning of the season, they were even ranked 4th on the ranking list given by ESPN.

Second only to the Celtics, Lakers, and Cavaliers, the three recognized favorites to win the championship, they can be called the leaders of the second tier to win the championship, even higher than the evergreen Spurs.

Judging from the overall performance of the Hornets last season, there is nothing wrong with this ranking. At most, it will cause dissatisfaction among fans of teams such as the Magic and Spurs.

But now, with one-third of the schedule completed, this ranking now looks like a joke.

The wasps are dying faster than people imagine.

Not to mention the Lakers who dominate the Western Conference, even teams such as the Rockets, Jazz, Spurs, Mavericks, and Trail Blazers, the Hornets did not take any advantage against them. In the Christmas game, they were beaten by the Magic for 48 minutes in the away game. In the end,

It left an embarrassing record of only 68 points in the game. After the game, this game was also evaluated by various media as the most ugly Christmas game in history.

After all, Howard played only 23 minutes leisurely... If there was a surrender button in the game, Huang Feng would have clicked it.

Currently, they have 17 wins and 11 losses in 28 games, ranking only seventh in the Western Conference. They have lost 5 more games than the same period last season.

However, this duel with the Knicks is still a duel between strong teams. After all, the strong West and the weak East are the biggest characteristics of this era. Some Western Conference teams have been thrown to the level of the devil in the Eastern Conference, and it is on the road, so the Knicks

Si is also well prepared for difficulties.

Especially when the Hornets played away games before, Paul had to sit out due to injury, so the Knicks were able to win easily. This time when Paul came back, the Hornets were completely intact, still at home, and their combat capabilities were still good.

Of course, this is what the outside world thinks. For Zuo Li, he has mastered the password to defeat this wasp.

Kill Paul!

Not a physical stranglehold, but a stranglehold on the connection between Paul and his teammates on the court.

The main reason for the failure of the Hornets' seemingly strong lineup is actually the lack of a second ball-handling point. Paul lacks a person who can attack independently, so once Paul is restrained or is in poor condition, the entire team is doomed.

So the Knicks made targeted arrangements early.

Of course, Paul was strong enough during this period, and he repeatedly performed outstanding performances in games. He also had many scenes as a solo savior. Before Zuo Li, he was the biggest star of hope, and he is currently considered the number one point guard in the league.

guard.

But tonight, Paul was having a hard time.

Zuo Li, Randolph, Wilson Chandler, Larry Hughes and Dragic started against the starting lineup of Chandler, West, Peja, Paul and Worthy.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks were not in bad shape because they had rested for a few days. After a left-right jump ball, the Knicks made a wonderful start.

Dragic quickly ran to the frontcourt and started a pick-and-roll with the left winger. The left winger passed down and Dragic distributed the ball. Chandler and West double-teamed him, but the left winger faked a pass and passed inside to Lando.

Husband, the Big Black Bear easily hit the board and scored the first goal.

Here, Paul holds the ball, observes the defense and then calls a pick-and-roll.

Chandler ran out directly, blocked Dragic cleanly, and then Chandler rushed inside. This was the only way for the old boxing champion to score.

Just today, when he entered the paint and found that the ball was not passed, he turned around and saw, I wiped it!

Paul was intercepted by the left volleyball!

The moment Paul passed the ball, Zuo Li stood up and held Paul's ball in the air with both hands!

Exposed domineering.

Paul himself was also confused. When he saw the figure flying in the sky and blocking the sun, he forgot to make any movements, and watched helplessly as he walked past him.

Bang!

Zuo Li completed a one-stop dunk.

"Wow~!"

It wasn't until the fans' exclamations rang in his ears that Paul realized that he had been intercepted!

Oh, maybe it counts as a shot!?

But no matter what it is, this ball shocked people's attention.

"This ball is so cool." Yu Jiadu's face was full of excitement. This kind of ball is one of the most exciting shots in the legend.

Being intercepted by a volleyball during the pick-and-roll is very rare, let alone happening to Paul, a super point guard.

Paul immediately became angry. When have I, Chris Paul, ever been wronged like this?
