Chauncey Billups, the court general of the Iron-Blooded Pistons, one of the Five Tigers, and the most underestimated FMVP.

It’s hard to believe that in the finals, the man who averaged 21 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game, with a terrifying three-point shooting percentage of 50.9%, 47.1% and 92.9%, crushed the f4 Lakers and ended the Los Angeles OK dynasty with his own hands.

There is no place in the fans' hearts.

Zuo Li has been a close friend of him for a long time. When Zuo Li hit the NBA in his last life, Billups had already retired, but Zuo Li still studied Chauncey's full set of playing styles. In Zuo Li's mind, this guy is

A true cold-blooded killer.

Low-key and unpretentious, players like Billups may not attract box office or attention, and new fans may not like them, but they are like aged wines that can withstand the test of time and become more mellow as they are tasted.

Whether in the Pistons or in desperate situations, Billups plays the role of court commander and locker room leader. He plays with tact, restraint, reasonableness and lethality.

These are the elements that Zuo Li believes a perfect point guard should possess!

If you want to be a point guard, Nash and Kidd are amazing, but Zuo Li doesn't recommend you learn from them because their talents are really too high.

Especially Kidd. In his prime, Kidd was a strong and capable point guard. A point guard who was not only technically proficient but also capable of both running and confrontation was outrageous enough. If you don’t believe me, just look at Nash and Stowe.

Keton.

Oh, don't look at it. These two are outrageous. Except for their defense, everything else is top-notch.

There is little future in learning from them, and there are few on the entire planet who can compare with them.

But it is indeed more reasonable to learn from Billups. Billups rarely does fancy things such as big changes of direction and back passes. Each move is simple and steady, but precise and deadly.

In fact, I can only say so much. When I saw Billups, Zuo Li's DNA moved again. He didn't have time to talk to Paul in the last game. Zuo Li couldn't let Billups go this time!

Why don't we seize the opportunity and make another wave of improvements before the end of 2008?!

And Zuo Li feels that Billups' style fits him inexplicably, because he doesn't need to win the assists title in every game, he only needs to contribute key shots at critical moments.

But before that, Zuo Li was still used to using victory to clear the way!

Show your strength and defeat your opponents!

"This should be very convenient when asking for advice."

Zuo Li thought as he touched his chin and stared at Billups.

If an ordinary person was stared at by Zuo Li like this, he would definitely be offended. But Billups didn't have anything wrong with him. Instead, he was still in the mood to smile at Zuo Li. At first glance, he was not someone to be trifled with.

But this suited Zuo Li's wishes, and Zuo Li also wanted to know how much skill Billups still had at this time.

and…

Zuo Li stood on the court and gave a thumbs up to D'Antoni who was off the court. D'Antoni responded with a thumbs up. At the same time, other Knicks players also looked a little eager to try.

Obviously, Zuo Li and the Knicks are preparing for something different in this game.

First starts from both sides!

Knicks: Zuo Li, David Lee, Chandler, Larry Hughes, Duhon.

Nuggets: Kenyon Martin, Nene, Anthony, Dengta Jones, Billups.

Since tonight is not a national live broadcast and there are other focus matches, the familiar Barkley duo cannot be seen.

This makes many local fans of Zuoli in the United States feel deeply regretful, because they just want to watch Basley - No matter what, I will play Zuoli from a different angle - Klee to commentate on Zuoli's game.

ESPN's commentary is professional, but it's just not that interesting, you know.

However, Chinese fans are still very happy. After all, although Yang Jian and Yang Yi's duo is not as effective as Director Zhang, their poetry writing skills are definitely top-notch. I don't know when they will be able to give the audience a piece, so the Chinese audience has

At 9:30 in the morning, I moved a small bench and started watching the game in front of the TV.

Game start!

At the Pepsi Center in Denver, Zuo Li and Kenyon Martin walked to the center circle amid the terrible noise made by the home fans.

This is the famous Devil's home stadium, one of the five Devil's home stadiums in the league selected by ESPN. In addition to the environmental threat caused by the 1,600-meter altitude, the fans here are also famous for their fanaticism.

Crazy is not enough to fully describe the atmosphere of the fans here. If you don’t believe it, look at the cameras. They rarely scan the stands because the slogans posted by the fans in the stands are too eye-catching, especially in the visiting team’s half. It’s really

Teenagers need to be accompanied by their parents to watch.

However, this did not affect Zuo Li. Although Kenyon Martin was not considered the top pick in parallel imports, his level was definitely not as bad as what the forum said. Especially in low post defense, he definitely had two brushes, but when it came to jumping balls, even

Even at his peak with the Nets, he couldn't compete with Zuo Li.

So the Knicks easily got the right to attack first.

Duhong held the ball and stood on the left wing to screen for his teammates. Chandler slipped out to catch the ball and missed a three-pointer. The Nuggets grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

There is nothing wrong with Chandler's shot. The problem is that Duhong passed the ball poorly. Why not let Dragic start tonight because he wants Duhong to deal with the veteran Billups.

But obviously, Duhon's level is not enough. At least Billups didn't feel any threat. Billups passed the half court unhurriedly, stretched out two fingers, and then the Nuggets quickly settled down.

.

Inside, he stood near the bottom corner ready to rush inside. Martin moved up to provide support, while Carmelo Anthony slipped out of the pick-and-roll and came out from the baseline to catch the ball at a 45-degree angle to face Chandler. The triple threat took a tentative step and pulled up for a three-pointer.

.

3-0.

Anthony tapped his temples with two fingers, which is also his standard celebration after scoring a three-pointer.

Chandler twisted his neck to signal his.

But Zuo Li didn't say anything. It was normal to be unable to guard against Anthony's triple threat. This was the foundation for Anthony's survival. Even after more than ten years, Anthony would still be unable to withstand this move.

Especially with the support of Billups, Billups passed the ball just right, which is Anthony's favorite singles position. With the ball in this place, Anthony has great confidence in finishing. This is Billups' ability.

Billups' career-high assists per game is only 8.6, which is not a lot, but his assist ability is no worse than others. In addition to direct assists, his passes can always make the team run smoothly.

, this is not something that the assist data can reflect.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the Knicks were expected to fall into a difficult situation. Duhon was very difficult to guard by Billups, and the quality of his passing became even worse. This also allowed the Knicks to basically rely on individual ability to score.

Looking back at the Nuggets, Billups' organization allowed them to play smoothly. They scored 5 times in a row at the beginning and once achieved a 10-2 lead.

If the left winger hadn't blocked Nene and completed 21 dunks, the Knicks would have collapsed in the opening game.

But even so, the Knicks still trailed by 8 points 28-20 at the end of the first quarter.
