Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

After finishing the interview in the locker room, Zuo Li, who had just taken off his shirt, was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower. The third assistant coach Haas opened the door and walked in and said to everyone:

"Guys, you'd better listen. The Celtics announced a big thing today. Kevin Garnett will miss the home game against us the day after tomorrow due to a right knee injury."

"Wow, this is really good news. I finally don't have to be beaten." Randolph inserted his fat waist and looked up at the sky. In the previous three games against the Green Army, Randolph had suffered a lot.

Being frustrated by Garnett can be said to be the power forward that Randolph is least willing to face this season.

"Stop making trouble. Even without Garnett, the Celtics still have Perkins. He's not as bad as you, but he's as tough as you." Larry Hughes patted Randolph's belly and said.

"It's okay, isn't there Zuo Li here? If we join forces, we can't defeat two people, and we can't defeat even one Perkins!" Randolph patted his chest, which made the fat on his belly tremble.

, it looks like it feels good in hand.

"Hehe, according to my experience, you are responsible for resisting, Zuo Li is responsible for attacking, and you should make the best use of everything, otherwise such a big belly will be in vain." Little Ewing came forward and secretly joined the ranks of Rua's belly.

"Fuck! Is it my fault for being fat? The burger is obviously too tempting, and you can touch my belly! Larry, Chandler, you two hold him down for me! Let me

I’m coming!!!”

Gee, the dialogue is inexplicably dirty, I can’t bear to watch it...

"Okay, guys, stop making trouble. The coach wants you to clean up quickly. We have changed our plans and will fly to Boston tonight." Haas looked at the scene of men on top of men in front of him and touched his forehead speechlessly.

The atmosphere in the Knicks locker room is getting better and better, but the style is gradually going astray.

"clear!"

Everyone agreed and continued to rub little Ewing...

Haas: “…”

Hey, forget it, as long as you behave decently on the field, that's all.

On the other hand, Zuo Li did not participate in such an erotic activity, but was thinking about the impact of Garnett's truce in his head.

No one in the Knicks felt anything, they just thought Garnett had just a minor injury and needed to recuperate. This is not uncommon in the NBA. Many people even think that Garnett is injured or not. After all, older stars use injuries

It is also common to use excuses to take a few games off during the regular season to prepare for the playoffs or more important games later.

But Zuo Li, a veteran, will know that Garnett's truce this time is not that simple.

This can be called an injury that changes the league!

In Zuo Li's memory, Garnett had experienced discomfort in his right knee since the Christmas Day game. At first, it was not taken seriously. In other words, the Green Army did not want to expose this information. After all, their goal was obviously to defend the title. Garnett

News of injuries will not only affect the morale within the team, but will also make other direct competitors aware of opportunities.

So for more than a month, Garnett has appeared in games as always, but intermittently, and his time is obviously limited.

But by this month, Garnett's condition clearly felt that something was not right, and his per game averages also dropped to 13.4 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, which was much lower than his per game average this season.

.

Everyone thought it was due to Garnett's old age or the adjustment of the Big Three, but in fact it was due to a knee injury.

Of course, the game that directly led to Garnett's retirement had not happened yet. In Zuo Li's memory, at the end of February, that is, after the All-Star Game against the Utah Jazz, his right knee ligament was completely torn due to a failed alley-oop.

Then after four more games, the team announced that it would be out for the season and only played 57 games throughout the season.

Failed alley-oop...

It's hard to believe that Garnett, who has a strong body, would be injured for such a reason. In fact, the old injuries accumulated in the past broke out at that moment.

The direct result of Garnett's reimbursement was that the more mature Celtics were eliminated by the Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals and unfortunately missed the opportunity to defend their title. Originally, 2009 was considered the most mature year for the Celtics' Big Three, and with the rise of Rondo, although

Posey is missing from the lineup, but the impact is not that big.

Because the remaining Celtics still had to fight the Magic for 7 full games before losing unfortunately. If Garnett stays healthy, it will be difficult for the Magic to stand out from the Celtics.

Moreover, the impact of this injury is not just that, it will profoundly affect the overall pattern of the league in the next three to four years.

This injury not only affected the Celtics' title defense this year, but also affected Garnett's entire career. It can be said that since that injury, Garnett's dominance has declined a lot.

This also directly led to the Lakers being overturned at a critical moment in the 2010 Finals and missing the last chance to win the championship.

In the following years of 2011 and 2012, the Celtics were also defeated by the Big Three Heat. Among them, the 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2012 was overturned. It was the most regrettable time. If Garnett had not been injured, the result might have been very different.

But it is useless to say this now. Injuries are always the biggest enemy of these stars. In the NBA, there are far more talents ruined by injuries than those who become successful in the end. There are many examples of missing out on championships because of injuries to stars.

All.

All players can do is try to avoid injuries and then actively recover, that's all.

For Zuo Li and the Knicks, Garnett's injury means that they really have the strength to compete with the Celtics head-on. After all, according to the current ranking, the Knicks have a chance to meet the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Zuo Li is not a holy mother, and he doesn’t think that if one person is missing, he won’t be able to win. Those who think this way will generally not survive more than three episodes in martial arts dramas.

On the 7th, the Knicks challenged the Celtics away from home. This was also the last regular season match between the two teams this season.

The Knicks finally cleared away the gloom in this game, winning 99-89 away from home with a 10-point advantage, ending their three-game losing streak against the Celtics.

Sure enough, as Zuo Li expected, the Celtics without Garnett are indeed not the same team.

But that's it, Zuo Li didn't feel that the Knicks had surpassed the Celtics.

It's just a game. Winning does not mean that we are sure to meet the Celtics Knicks in the playoffs.

The restraint in the lineup is still very obvious. The Green Army's Ray Allen and Rondo's backcourt, Pierce and Tony Allen's offensive and defensive third position all put great pressure on the Knicks from the outside.

There is a high probability that they will win this game because they just lost Garnett and are not used to not having the Wolf King on the inside. In addition, they are too strong on the outside. 0 for 11 shots is too much no matter which game it is placed in.

Of course, Zuo Li's outstanding performance is also crucial. Without Garnett, Zuo Li still has an advantage against Perkins. Zuo Li's 13 successful breakthroughs in this game prove this, which is more than the previous three games combined.

need more.

The most terrifying thing about Garnett is that his defensive area is very large, truly covering the entire three-point line. Whether it is back-up or breakthrough, it is difficult to escape Garnett's defensive attack.

Without Garnett, Zuo Li had to get what he asked for. He made 15 of 18 shots in this game, and his 34 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks were the best against the Celtics.

But even so, the Greens still limited the Knicks' scoring to less than 100 points. The Greens deserve to be the best defensive team in this era.
