Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

It's really too much!

The Wizards home fans couldn't bear to watch it. The two sides were not on the same level as a whole, especially the inside line, which was basically undefended.

Throughout the game, the mentality of Wizards fans went through a change from 'excited waiting' to 'helpless' to 'no hope for life'.

A triple jump is a yes.

In the end, they lost by 31 points, and Wizards fans were numb.

After the game, the fans watching the game in the stadium complained about the league, thinking that this kind of behavior of beating the same opponent in back-to-back games was too inhumane!

It’s going to take us a few days, right?

After losing so much in two games, who can stand it?

The alliance expressed that it humbly accepts this and will dare to do so next time...

When arranging this schedule, the original plan was to have a No. 0 vs. No. 0 match, just like 24 vs. 23, to create a small-scale star confrontation.

But who would have known that the Wizards' No. 0 was injured and could not come back after being injured for so long, and the Knicks turned into a phoenix, so they had no choice but to accept such a tragedy.

The Wizards protested with grief and indignation, but the Knicks had a quiet time. Getting back on track allowed the Knicks to regain their vitality and fighting spirit.

Even some veterans have begun to consciously practice more, not to mention those players who have ideas about their positions and playoffs.

Take Harrington, for example. When this old man came, he came with the mentality that if he couldn't do it, he would just fail. But now, he has begun to practice extra in order to compete for playing time.

The same goes for Larry Hughes, the old prince of nightclubs. He doesn't go to nightclubs anymore and goes to Zuo Li's apartment early in the morning to ask Zuo Li to train with him.

Although he is not worried about the position, he knows that general manager Donnie Wash has been communicating with Zuo Li and D'Antoni and wants to strengthen the team's third position and backcourt. This makes Larry Hughes feel the pressure.

.

The reason is naturally because the Knicks are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference. Not only are they promising to make a difference in the playoffs this season, they will be even more popular in the next few seasons. Because Zuo Li is a rookie, the Knicks even

He has enough cap space to make a big splash in these summers where there are plenty of big fish.

As veterans at the end of their careers, neither Larry Hughes nor Harrington want to leave the Knicks.

What's more, the atmosphere in the Knicks is very good. Zuo Li is young and energetic, and he treats people well. Although the training field is strict, everyone is a good brother off the field. There is no oppression or bullying. Only a fool would think of such a comfortable place.

leave.

Zuo Li is very satisfied with the current structure of the team. According to his memory, it is difficult to make a difference in the trade market during this period. As for the summer, it is still early, so it is better to maintain the status quo and have a tacit understanding for the playoffs.

Very critical.

…

On January 17, the Knicks continued their road trip in the Eastern Conference, this time they came to Philadelphia again.

The current situation of the 76ers is not bad. Iguodala has gradually found the feeling of being the boss. They are currently ranked 6th in the Eastern Conference.

It's just that they have the same problem as the Wizards, that is, they are weak inside, so this game is unfortunate, and they also followed the Wizards' footsteps.

With 21 points and 21 rebounds, Zuo Li once again scored superb statistics in 2020. After the game, the 76ers' two insiders, Dalembert and Reggie Evans, had circles in their eyes. They were completely autistic due to Zuo Li's beating.

!

From the very beginning, Dragic missed a three-pointer, but Zuo Li stepped in from the wing and dunked the ball into the frame through Dalembert. The game was determined. This was another game.

Bureau of Massacre'.

In fact, Zuo Li didn't take many shots tonight. After all, his opponent was in average condition. He only scored a two-pointer in the first 6 shots. Iguodala's dunks could bounce off, so Zuo Li focused on giving the ball to his teammates. There was only one player in the audience.

14 shots taken.

But he only hit 9 goals and easily scored 21 points. As for rebounds, the 76ers provided them with all their strength. The left winger grabbed 9 offensive rebounds, and 21 in the whole game can be said to dominate the inside.

The only thing that makes the 76ers happy may be that they only lost by 19 points, which is much better than the Wizards...

After the game, Zuo Li once again became a news figure. After all, he scored in three consecutive games, becoming the only insider to achieve such an achievement after Chamberlain, Russell and other ancient super insiders.

More importantly, after these three games, Zuo Li's average rebounds per game has officially increased from 14.8 to 15, further widening the gap with Howard who is behind him and averaging 13.8 rebounds per game.

It seems to be only an improvement of 0.2, but in fact it is a qualitative leap.

In the NBA, those who average 15 rebounds per game are called rebounding monsters. The biggest reason why Howard's rebounding ability is not ranked high in history is that he has never averaged more than 15 rebounds per game in a season in his career.

As a rookie, Zuo Li has not yet finished the season, but it is already very difficult to reach this number in the middle of the season.

What's even more difficult is that Zuo Li averages 6.8 offensive rebounds per game. Although it's less than half, this number is already very good. It's three times more than the second-placed Howard, which is enough to prove Zuo Li's aggression in playing.

sex.

Based on this, ESPN commentator Gill believes that Zuo Li's current rebound count is not his limit.

"Obviously, Zuo Li is the best rebounder in the league right now. His jump is high enough and his arms are huge, which makes him invincible in the paint. It's hard for a rebound to get out of the Knicks' penalty area alive."

"Averaging 15 rebounds per game is good enough, but I have to say that this is not his limit. In fact, Zuo Li has made enough sacrifices for the team. In other words, Zuo Li still has room for improvement."

Gill's meaning is obvious. The Knicks currently rank first in the league in rebounds per game. In addition to Zuo Li, Randolph averages 6.7 and David Lee 6. This is also the most important factor for the Knicks' current position. The Knicks

The inside line is too strong.

Therefore, Zuo Li sometimes does not compete for every rebound. Zuo Li does not need some backcourt boards if he can.

According to Gill's theory, if Zuo Li was more selfish, such as finding a few masters to assist the board, it wouldn't be a problem to break 17 points per game.

This is not unreasonable, but Zuo Li doesn't care. Instead of worrying about backcourt rebounds, he prefers to use such things to rush to the frontcourt to find if there are fast break opportunities. This is the kind of backcourt that Zuo Li doesn't do much.

The biggest reason for the board.

And they are all on the same team. Why would Zuo Li snatch all the data from his teammates? Is this necessary?

But Zuo Li agreed with Gill's last words, that is, he still has room for improvement!

"Of course, I haven't even teased the league's great rebounder. No, I've paid him a visit." Zuo Li thinks this is not good. Recently, he has been harassing guards like crazy. He really hasn't met many famous centers, especially

He is good at rebounding.

The rain and dew are all wet!

After all, he is still a center. Although he is an atypical center, he still does the job of a center.

Zuo Li felt it was time to try again.

And two days later, the opportunity came...
