Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

This game against the Warriors also aroused heated discussions after the game, especially Zuo Li's style of play in the game, which once again refreshed people's understanding of centers.

Even the Warriors head coach was full of praise for Zuo Li after the game and called him a talented player without a template: "Thanks to Zuo Li, he let me know another possibility for a center, which is not just to go to the low post.

Not only can he be pulled out to shoot three-pointers, but he can also break through and hold the ball, provide support at the top of the key, and break through to score, which is so exciting."

"Maybe every center should start at guard as a kid."

Old Nelson smiled, as if he had just lost and didn't talk about his team. After saying this, Biedrins, who was standing not far from him, wiped the cold sweat from his head and went back to playing.

Gui Nao, don't make fun of me, I'm not Zuo Li, I can't do his job.

The reporter who was interviewing Biedrins suddenly discovered that this guy had the word 'danger' on his forehead...

As for the template issue, in fact Zuo Li has always been considered to have no template of his own. After all, when have you ever seen a center who can hold the ball by himself at the top of the arc, pull his hips back and turn around for a layup?

So this is also the reason why Zuoli's status has always been relatively high, and the outside world has very high expectations for Zuoli. After all, in the NBA, it is really not an easy thing to have no template, and the lack of template also means that the style of play has created a new era.

This has never been done before. How can this status and potential be high?

And after this game, it deepened people's impression. After all, even Chris Webber didn't have Zuo Li's sudden scoring ability, and he didn't have Zuo Li's dominance in the low post. What's more, Zuo Li also has a hand that can occasionally catch a glimpse.

Three-pointers and long-range shots, although inconsistent...

However, Zuo Li didn't care much about his own performance. What he cared about was that his plan before the game was a great success.

In this game, the Knicks were in full bloom. Six outsiders made a total of 18 three-pointers. Many players, including Chandler, Larry Hughes and Dragic, all played at a high level, scoring assists and rebounds.

Everyone has gained something, which is what he wants to see.

So Zuo Lili told reporters after the game: "We played a better offense. We did the same thing as before. We just played more aggressively and did a good job."

"The strength of my teammates is underestimated. The reason why I can get a triple-double is also due to my teammates. If they are all good, I will never have the chance to get a triple-double."

"We can stop questioning the outside world for a moment. We are a team. Everyone does their own thing well and makes sacrifices for the team. This is the way to win."

As for why he suddenly changed his style of play in this game, and whether it was to help his teammates alleviate doubts, Zuo Li did not answer, but he immediately got confirmation from others.

"You know, I was scolded badly, but Zuo Li pulled me and told me, 'Hey, man, you are very strong, you were a former All-Star player, I know your strength, come on, let's

Show them something!' I said, 'Wow, this guy is like this, he really thinks about each of us, seriously, this is the best leader I've ever seen.'" Larry Hughes

Said after the game.

Dragic, who scored 16 points, 5 assists and 2 steals in this game, even praised Zuo Li: "I was very scared before coming here, but the boss made me feel that I was needed. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of the team.

Sex, it’s a blessing to be able to play next to people like this.”

Now Zuo Li's leadership qualities have also been recognized. After all, it is not only important to stand up on the court, but also crucial off the court. The boss who can unite the locker room and care about every teammate is the real boss.

As a result, there have been a lot less voices from the outside world. It is impossible not to have none. After all, the media has to find something to do if nothing happens, but the rhythm has definitely been reduced. After all, in this game, Chandler scored 5 points and three points.

Larry Hughes made 3 of 6 shots, 18 points, and 3 of 5 three-pointers. He performed very well. Naturally, he couldn't stay in this situation.

Zuohei are very sad that such a good opportunity has passed by again.

But they were sad too early. In less than a day, Zuo Li once again set an NBA record.

Moreover, the scene was very joyful!

On February 12th, the Knicks faced the Western Conference Clippers back-to-back at home. This was also the Knicks' last game before the All-Star Game. After the game, the team will have a seven-day holiday, and Zuo Li

Will also go to Phoenix to prepare for this year's All-Star Weekend.

Because the holidays are approaching, even though the opponent, the Clippers, is currently last in the Western Conference, D'Antoni still sent out all the main players. This is also a way to keep everyone in shape as much as possible.

D'Antoni originally wanted to let Zuo Li rest alone, but Zuo Li refused. There was no problem with his physical strength.

As a result, just after one quarter of the game, D'Antoni was very glad that he did not let Zuo Li take a rest, otherwise this situation would never have been seen!

The fight for the ball went smoothly. Zuo Li successfully fought for the ball for the 52nd time this season. Camby could not prevent Zuo Li from continuing his record.

Unlike the Warriors, the Clippers have three tall insiders, namely Camby, Kaman and rookie DeAndre Jordan. These three big men with an average height of nearly 212 centimeters are concentrated on one team. It is really a luxury in today's league.

one thing.

However, this cannot stop the Clippers from going through the core of the earth. Even if they get Baron Davis from the Warriors, it will not help. They have won 15 games in the first 50 games this season. It can be said that everyone is being bullied.

According to their inner configuration, Zuo Li is actually not easy to fight. After all, there are many people. If the crowd tactics are not working, they can still cut him down.

However, the Clippers' defense was really incomprehensible. When Zuo Li pulled out to catch the ball, the two Clippers insiders were two meters away, and they didn't even bother to raise their hands.

Zuo Li was naturally rude and hit the first goal with a tentative three-pointer.

Of course, it's normal to not understand this kind of defense. Otherwise, how could the Clippers have been so poor for so many years? But think about it, next year they will have a chance to turn around and change the history of the team, and the No. 1 pick is waving to them.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this kind of defense can be understood.

They are on the fifth floor this time.

The Knicks did not relax because of their opponent's attitude. Zuo Li still played the game very seriously. After successfully defending a goal, Zuo Li grabbed the rebound, made a long pass to find Larry Hughes on the fast break, and provided a long-distance assist.

Then Zuo Li once again protected the backcourt rebounds, and he was all in one, playing with Camby's crotch and leading to a layup that led to 21.

Free throws hit the mark, but the Clippers had poor awareness of rebound protection. They took a left-hand shot and grabbed the ball, and scored again under the basket, scoring 4 points in one round.

The Knicks started with an 8-0 run.

Zuo Li started the game with 6 points, 1 assist and 3 rebounds, and was in excellent form.

The Clippers finally made the first shot from Mobley, but Zuo immediately responded. In the first 5 minutes, the Knicks shot 18-8 and looked about to be defeated.

But Zuo Li quickly scored 10 points and even scored in double figures in less than half a quarter!

Camby was worried. This is not my fault. As you all know, I can't guard against it. What can he do if he throws his weight behind me?

Then Camby thought of a way, and that was to talk trash!

"You shoot, you don't have a basket, if you can, just shoot me with a three-pointer!" Camby yelled crazily from two meters away.

"This is the first time I've seen someone with such a request." Zuo Li made a three-pointer with his hands very innocent. It was you who asked me to make the shot.

Canby: "..."
