Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

When Zuo Li woke up, the air was sweet.

The fragrance from last night still seems to be lingering in the corner of my mouth...

If you didn't take into account that he was still alone in the empty room in the latter half of the night, last night was perfect.

As for the reason, it is of course that the Olsen family has not been reunited for a long time. The Olsen sisters and her father chose to come to New York this year to spend the New Year's Eve with Olsen's aunt's house.

So after waiting for the New Year's bell to ring in Times Square, Zuo Li drove the newly acquired supercar to send the reluctant Omei back.

The car was also left to Aomei by Zuo Li. To be honest, although the supercar was good, with his height and body shape, it was really hard to sit in it. He now knew why Aomei preferred off-road vehicles.

After returning home and falling asleep, Zuo Li finally found his biological clock on the first day of the New Year. At six o'clock in the morning, Zuo Li was already ready.

"Great." Zuo Li opened the curtains and stretched. On the first day of the new year, he started with morning jogging training.

At 8 o'clock, Zuo Li arrived at the training ground early, and what greeted him was a long-lost figure, "Gorilla" Ewing.

"Hey Zuo Li, happy New Year. From the looks of it, you had a good time last night." Ewing, who arrived early, smiled and high-fived Zuo Li.

"It's okay, okay, you're not bad either, but thank you for your hard work. Thank you for taking the time to accompany me for special training today. I'll leave it to you." Zuo Li also replied with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. To be honest, I will be happy to train with you even if there is no reward. After all, I haven't seen such a hard-working inside player for a long time." Ewing put his hands on his hips and looked up at the ceiling.

At this moment, he recalled the fear of being dominated by Howard the Warcraft.

It's like this. After training with Zuo Li for several months, Ewing was valued by the Magic and hired him at a high price to be Howard's coaching coach for two full months from October to December.

So Ewing stayed in Orlando most of the time.

At first, Ewing went to Orlando with a relaxed and happy mood. After all, the training he had just had with Zuo Li was very enjoyable and went well. He felt that Howard, who is also a super center, should not be too bad.

However, in the past two months, Ewing has come to understand that not everyone has this talent in his head.

Howard is really a slow learner!

In the past two months, Ewing didn't teach him how to master a post-up technique, or that his performance in training was okay. As soon as he came on the court, he went back to his previous stiff, turning, cold discus shot.

Sometimes Ewing felt that Howard was pranking him, because he always wore that smile that made Ewing wonder if this guy was doing it on purpose.

However, it turns out that it is not the case, Howard really cannot be used!

Then you are still laughing!!!

Ewing was slumped.

These past two months have made Ewing doubt his life...

So as soon as he received Zuo Li's invitation, Ewing came immediately. He had to use his genius to relieve his injured heart!

But the reason Zuo Li invited him today was not because of Howard, but because of his next opponent.

On January 3rd, the New York Knicks will face a strong opponent in the Western Conference at home, the Houston Rockets!

And Zuo Li will also play against Dayao, who he considers to be the strongest center this season!

The beginning of the new year is the highlight!

This is the last super insider in this era that Zuo Li has played against. He has seen all the previous Howard, O'Neal, including Duncan and Garnett, and only Dayao is left.

As for Dayao, Zuo Li naturally has different feelings. After all, in his previous life, Zuo Li listened to the story of Dayao and stepped into the professional arena step by step. I believe that not only Zuo Li, but also all the basketball practitioners of that era could be better.

I don’t know Dayao.

It is difficult to describe Dayao's influence with the words "Light of Asia" and "The First Person in Asia".

This year is the most powerful year for Dayao and the Rockets led by him.

In memory, Yao Ming played 77 games in the regular season, averaging 33.6 minutes per game, contributing 19.7 points and 9.9 rebounds. At the same time, this season, Yao Ming's single-season total points, total rebounds, and free throw percentage have all set career highs.

And his 54.8% shooting percentage is his highest since the 2004-05 season.

In addition, Yao Ming scored 38 double-doubles this season, breaking his personal career season record of 34 double-doubles in a single season set in the 2005-06 season. To do this, he only averaged 33.5 minutes of playing time per game.

This is also the season in which he averaged the fewest playing time in the past four seasons.

In the original history, the Rockets made it to the second round of the playoffs for the first time. Dayao played bravely in the first game and defeated the Lakers away from home. That game is believed to be one of the most memorable games for many domestic fans.

When Dayao returned from the tunnel as king, I don’t know how many people stood up and cheered.

It's a pity that that game was the last pinnacle of Dayao's career. In the second game, familiar injuries came to the door again. Dayao was reimbursed for the season, but the Rockets incredibly fought the Lakers for 7 games before losing.

This is the Lakers at their peak. It only took 6 games to reach the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs, and it took only 5 games to resolve the finals.

There is no need to say more about how powerful the Rockets are.

In a word, the best Yao met the best Rockets, but it is a pity that Tracy McGrady is no longer good.

But Zuo Li naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to learn from him!

Being able to play against players of this level will be a huge improvement regardless of victory or defeat, so Zuo Li asked Ewing to train with him for a day.

In addition to Ewing's skills, Ewing was also one of Dayao's coaches. In 2003, Van Gundy invited Ewing to join the coaching team, and Dayao also trained under Ewing for several years.

Ewing also commented that Dayao will be one of the best centers in the league in the future, and now it has come true.

"Okay, without further ado, preparing for Dayao is not an easy task. His confrontation ability is very strong. Even Howard can't stand him. He will be the most difficult attacker to deal with because he is tall enough.

, his touch is also good enough, he can complete the shot within the three-point line, and his hook and fadeaway are almost impossible to block, so we need to change our defensive method..." Ewing started to explain while holding the ball.

, obviously, he also knew the reason why Zuo Li asked him to come.

Zuo Li here is preparing carefully for the battle, and the alliance over there is also warming up for this focus battle...

"Super Center Derby!"

The NBA floods New York and Houston with ads like this.

You can even see posters on the subway, which is definitely a big investment.

In fact, there is no need for much publicity. This game has already become the most watched game at the beginning of the year.

Especially in China on the other side of the ocean, this game can be called a civil war derby for the yellow race.

It was originally thought that the Chinese derby between UAE Lian and Dayao would attract much attention, but this time everyone found that the battle between Zuo Li and Dayao was more popular.

The reason is naturally that Zuo Li is stronger than Ah Lian and his performance is brave enough to compare with Dayao, which Ah Lian cannot compare with.

Zuo Li's fluent Chinese has also attracted widespread attention for him. In terms of number of fans, he is on par with Yao Yao. Even his highlights are one of the most popular videos on the Internet.

So how can you miss such a duel!
