Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Shhhhhhh~!"

On February 5th, fans from all over the world who had just turned on their TVs were struck by lightning at the opening. The boos that filled the air at the opening seemed like they had arrived at a large toilet scene.

And the answer lies right in the center of Cavaliers Stadium!

There, media reporters from more than 80 countries and regions around the world targeted Zuo Li, who was receiving the January Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month awards.

In the camera, Zuo Li kept smiling. He let him force the breeze to blow on the hills. I remained unmoved in the face of the boos from the sky.

On the contrary, Zuo Li still held the trophy and greeted all the fans under such circumstances, showing a good demeanor and a calmness that is not typical of many rookies.

This also made many commentators who were watching at the moment appreciate it:

Director Zhang: "Congratulations to Zuo Li. Looking at him now, you can see why he can quickly adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. It's really impossible without a big heart."

Barkley: "It takes a certain amount of courage to lift the trophy in a place like this. Obviously, Zuo Li has such qualities. Well done young man. This is the reward you deserve."

Smith: "Zuo Li also performed very well in January. Although James performed very well, it is a pity that there is only one best player of the month. However, James' battlefield should not be limited here. MVP is the focus he needs to compete for!"

Yang Yi: "I like this arrangement. This can stimulate the sensitive nerves of the players on both sides to the greatest extent. When James sees someone else sitting on the throne that belongs to him, what will he think? Will he be fierce in the game?

The eruption! Look at James' performance at the moment. What is hidden under the calm water is definitely the hottest heart. I am already looking forward to the collision between the two in this game!"

Teacher Yang Yi, you have started again. I won’t read the new edition of the poetry collection without you... It turns out that James’ Throne was available in 2009. Everyone thought it was only available in 2017...

At this time, Zuo Li had a smile on his face, but he could no longer suppress the mmp in his heart.

It’s hard not to believe that this arrangement was intentional by the league, because in Zuo Li’s memory, the Player of the Month awards are generally collected at home, and there are very few instances of receiving them in away games.

But that’s exactly what the alliance did!

And it’s nowhere else, it’s the Cavaliers’ home court!

As we all know, the competition between Zuo Li and James is quite fierce this year, although no one could have imagined it before the start of the season.

But now, Zuo Li ranks third on the mvp list, second only to James and Kobe. The Knicks rank second in the Eastern Conference. They are also the Cavaliers' biggest opponent. At the same time, Zuo Li's scoring is always behind James in the scoring list.

.

As for the limelight, people say that this year is the year of James' rise. All statistics have reached career highs, and his leadership ability has also been recognized.

However, Zuo Li is the least talked about player in the Eastern Conference. He has broken various records and won the All-Star vote. Zuo Li is outstanding both on and off the court.

So much so that after only half a season, people described Zuo Li as James' biggest rival in the Eastern Conference in the future.

Fans from both sides are also at war with each other. In 2009, when the Internet was not yet developed, it was not easy to have such a quarrel online.

In this context, the league arranged for Zuo Li to receive the Player of the Month award at the Cavaliers' home court. Or is it James fans who think James has the Player of the Month in his hands...

"What a poisonous intention!" Zuo Li also complained silently in his heart. If this was not intentional, he would have changed it from left to right!

As expected of Stern, his ability to catch hot topics is more than a little better than that joke of later generations.

It’s no wonder that he is the one who planned the two evils, Jordan’s four major centers, then the four major shooting guards, then today’s golden generation, and then this year’s 23vs24.

I believe that except for Zuo Li, many people have seen the intention of the alliance, which is to create a confrontation between James and Zuo Li!

But the reason given by the league sounds very reasonable, that is because the Knicks will not play their first home game this month on the 10th, and it has been seven days since the announcement, so in order not to let waiting become a regret, they

Decided to take the award directly to Cleveland!

Zuo Li: "Thank you so much... As long as there is a prize for this thing, who cares whether there is a prize or not? It's just the best of the month, it's not a grand prize! You just want to trick me!"

To be honest, Zuo Li didn't want to rush to the front desk to confront James this season. After all, his strength is slightly weaker and his foundation is shallow. Let the Green Army and Magic take the lead to absorb the firepower, and then secretly develop on his own next season.

Isn't it beautiful to shock everyone?

Zuo Li seems to have forgotten that he was already high-profile enough when he was not in the league. He was even remembered by James for breaking many records left by James in high school...so it is destined to be very difficult to keep a low profile.

However, Zuo Li himself is not afraid of competition. Since time travel, Zuo Li has no reason to be inferior to others. His goal is to be the strongest and the top!

What's more, there is no reason not to receive the award. Since the alliance dares to give it out, then he dares to receive it!

And not only does it matter, Zuo Li also wants to win!

"After receiving the award and then winning, their expressions must be pretty enough!" Zuo Li thought as he listened to the boos in the sky.

This time it was perfect. One of the two sides wanted to regain the momentum at home, and the other wanted to expand the results in the away game. Before the game even started, the smell of gunpowder had already filled the entire arena.

And what about James? What is James thinking?

Of course he wants to win too!

The last few years in the Cavaliers were his most exciting years. In almost every interview, he kept talking about winning the championship. In everything he said and did, he already regarded himself as the number one player in the league.

Although he was not familiar with Zuo Li, and he didn't pay much attention to the Best Player of the Month, but to win the Best Player of the Month at his home court, wasn't this a slap in the face? It was a slap in the face!

This is unbearable!

So although James congratulated Zuo Li on the surface during the interview, on the court, James was not prepared to let the Knicks retreat unscathed.

In this game, he not only wants to win, but he also wants to win beautifully. More importantly, he wants to defeat Zuo Li head-on. It would be best if he dunks on his head or something. This would be perfect!

Okay, both parties have thought of it together.

So the game begins!

The starting ten players from both sides took to the court.

Cavaliers: Varejao, Ben, James, Gibson and Mo.

Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Larry Hughes and Dragic.

Obviously, the Cavaliers learned from the experience and lessons of the first game when Big Z was played by Zuo Li, and asked Varejao, who is more flexible, better at drawing fouls, and dirtier to play, to play against Zuo Li, and let Big Ben start, playing black and hard.

He is tough against the black, and protects the inside line to create space for James.

It's just that the Cavaliers seem to have forgotten that the inside line of this lineup is too short. Doesn't this give Zuo Li an opportunity to bully them with his height?

Sure enough, Varejao basically gave up on the jump ball. He stood up and tried to draw a foul after landing. It can only be said that it was Varejao. It was a pity that Zuo Li did not hold the ball, but slowly passed the half court, causing Varejao to pass the ball slowly.

Lejo stood there holding his crotch, feeling very embarrassed.

Zuo Li's style suddenly changed when he entered the inside line. He directly used his strength to catch the ball and turned around to score the first goal.

The Cavaliers are naturally played by James, and their tactics are really the best.

Lao Zhan was very excited tonight. He started to speed up in the first half, carried Chandler and went inside to cause damage, and made two free throws!

2-2!
