Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

The Knicks players in the locker room were all laughing and celebrating this hard-won victory, almost lifting Zuo Li high and throwing him to the ceiling.

"Well done, Zuo Li, we have accomplished more than half of our goal." After Zuo Li walked out of the circle surrounded by men, D'Antoni and Zuo Li hugged each other tightly.

This meritorious coach was very emotional. He was kicked out of Phoenix and came to the Knicks. The outside world thought that D'Antoni gave up his ideals for money. After all, the Knicks are called the graveyard of coaches, and no one can escape unscathed.

But tonight, all doubts disappeared. From last season last season to entering the playoffs 23 rounds ahead of schedule tonight, who dares to say that D'Antoni is just messing around.

"Wonderful night, coach, maybe we have to update our plan." Zuo Li said with a smile, but it's not tonight. It won't be too late to digest the joy. Anyway, there are still 23 rounds left for the Knicks to prepare.

Woolen cloth.

Outside the locker room, excited reporters gathered around and asked various questions one after another, but Zuo Li simply answered a few questions related to this game.

When asked by a certain media: "Does the Knicks have great hope of winning this championship if they win this game?" Zuo Li just replied calmly:

"This is just a regular season game."

After saying this, Knicks staff finally arrived and blocked the media outside. Zuo Li drove out by himself.

Yes, this is just a regular season game. Although a playoff spot is guaranteed, it does not mean the playoffs.

It's the same as D'Antoni's final summary of the press conference: "We still have 23 games, we still have the playoffs, and we have to play one game at a time."

After the press conference, Zuo Li took the time to reply to the congratulatory text message. First of all, it was Omei, then Derrick and Hibbert, the Tom and Jerry brothers, Curry and his former high school and college teammates.

Of course, players and celebrities in the league are also indispensable, including Nash, O'Fatty, Curry's dad, Seth Curry, and even old Duncan.

Kobe is the most interesting here. He only posted one message: "Wait for me in the playoffs."

"As expected of Kobe, there is a competitive spirit everywhere." Zuo Li shook his head. Kobe's character must be stressful as a teammate, but as an opponent, he is really great. He will let Zuo Li's competitive spirit continue on the field.

was ignited.

However, it will still take some time for the Lakers to enter the playoffs. After all, the Western Conference is the wildest, but there are not as many fish in the Eastern Conference. Even if the Lakers only win one less game than the Knicks, it is estimated that it will take the last 10 to secure a playoff spot.

Inside the venue.

Zuo Li replied: "Waiting for you." Then he put away his phone. The night is not over yet!

The Knicks, including the coaching staff, went to the restaurant with more than 30 people for a party. This should be the last collective party before the playoffs. Although there was no alcohol or beautiful women tonight, it was absolutely crazy.

Outside, the storm continues.

ESPN reported: "The Lakers beat the Heat again, and Zuo Li became the key to victory!"

Miami Sports News: "Ruining a good game, Beasley was blocked against all odds, and Zuo Li led the team into the playoffs!"

The New York Times: “Playoffs, we’re back! 2004-2009!”

No one expected that the first playoff team of the season would be born on the first game day in March, and what no one could have imagined was the name of this team.

It’s not the Los Angeles Lakers, the favorites to win the championship, nor the defending champion Boston Celtics, nor the popular Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic, nor the veteran strong team San Antonio Spurs, but a name that almost no one would have guessed before the start of a season.

New York Knicks.

New York is big and the Knicks are small.

Securing a playoff spot 23 rounds in advance is definitely an unprecedented experience for the Knicks. Even in those distant years, in the two seasons when they finally won the championship, they did not accomplish such a thing.

No wonder CCTV's report was reprinted by various media outlets around the world, because this really seems like a miracle to everyone who has followed basketball for many years.

So Zuo Li, who was the protagonist of the entire story, was once again named the Son of Miracle.

The media is always used to giving various stars various titles. Some of them are very suitable, and some are very funny. Fans may even think that the media receives promotion fees.

But this time, Zuo Li's miracle son was well received, because Zuo Li was really too strong to bring the Knicks to this point.

Su Qun said on his Weibo: "If nothing else, considering the team's buffs, Zuo Li's season can rival the rookie seasons of all rookies in history."

Coinciding with the second day of this game, the "Ellen Show" that Zuo Li participated in was finally broadcast on the TV station. As Zuo Li's first variety show, the first broadcast attracted as many as 18 million viewers across the United States, creating the largest audience of the year.

Best ratings record.

The director and Allen were naturally overjoyed, and the decision to invite Zuo Li was indeed the right one.

What happened next was beyond their expectations. Because Zuo Li showed a completely different temperament on the show than on the court, being funny, enthusiastic, and full of humor, he won the love of the audience, and the ratings hit another high during the rerun.

There were only 2 million fewer viewers than the first broadcast. This drop is almost negligible.

As a result, this episode of The Ellen Show became the first phenomenal variety show this year. Fans even called the show team every day to express their gratitude. Ellen himself also posted a photo with Zuo Li on Instagram and praised Zuo Li as a

'Incredibly big man'.

The impact on Zuo Li himself is also greater. People who liked him before were teenagers and fans, and this variety show has also expanded his audience. More people know about Zuo Li and show strong interest. Ins continues to rise.

After the show was broadcast, the number of followers increased by 600,000 overnight, and endorsement contracts continued to come in.

Downey, who is currently famous for playing Iron Man, posted on Twitter: "I have never seen such a humorous guy. Are you really a basketball player? Are you interested in making a cameo in a movie?"

Zuo Li also saw it and had a brief interaction with Downey, causing fans to exclaim, 'The dimensional wall has been broken'!

Of course, Zuo Li only regarded the guest appearance as a joke. After all, in terms of humor, Downey is also at the top of the entertainment industry.

Zuo Li's original fans are also very happy. After all, who doesn't want the person they like to admire to be a warm guy.

Of course, not to mention that there are no negative effects, that is, there are more and more invitations to variety shows, and they are more widespread. Even shows from across the ocean are involved. Zuo Li even saw a Korean show called "We Got Married"

Invitation sent...

I have to say, it's really quite funny.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Zuo Li to leave the United States now, even if he leaves, he is not interested in this kind of program at all, so Rich Paul swept them all into the trash can.

"I won't participate in variety shows anymore in the near future."
