108-88, the Knicks defeated the Magic by 20 points at home. The regular season score between the two teams came to 2-1, and the Knicks once again gained the advantage.

They will have four more games in Orlando next month, which is also the Magic's last chance to save the situation.

But even if the Knicks lost this last time, the fans were extremely satisfied. From 0-4 last season to 2-1 this season, even if it was 2-2 in the end, they have proved the strength of the Knicks.

Howard left the court angrily after the game. This game undoubtedly cast a shadow over his smooth 2008-09 season. There is no need to deny that after this game, Zuo Li completely dominated the confrontation with him.

Got the upper hand.

But compared with simply defeating the Magic, Zuo Li is undoubtedly more excited about the increase in combat effectiveness brought by the increase in confrontation. This game proved that 99's confrontation, in one-on-one, is no longer afraid of the league's super insiders. This

It undoubtedly adds a heavy weight to Zuoli's playoff journey.

When being interviewed after the game, Zuo Li was visibly happy. He not only took the initiative to accept more questions, but also thoughtfully asked if he needed to ask more questions.

Reporters all thought that Zuo Li was too happy to beat Howard. After all, it is not easy for the No. 1 center to win. This is the first time that Howard's statistics have been suppressed to this point. It is indeed something to be happy about.

"It would be great if Zuo Li could be interviewed like this every night." After the interview, the silly little Han Xue looked at the thick material and said with a giggle.

Little did he know that Zuo Li was not just for one Howard, but for "thousands" of Howards in the future!

At this time, the outside world only thinks that Zuo Li is in great condition tonight, and they don't know that this will be Zuo Li's normal state. By then, there may have been a bloody storm in the world.

However, the lack of outside attention is also related to another thing, that is, after this game, the Knicks have achieved a record of 57 wins and 16 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference with 9 games left.

Let’s not talk about rankings for the moment. This thing needs to be determined after 9 games. People are obviously paying attention to the record.

Many fans may not be very sensitive to 57 wins, but 60 wins are not that far away. Fans who know a little bit about penalty kicks will understand its significance.

Someone once said that 60 wins is a certification of dominance in an era.

This statement is basically true.

In a word, there are countless teams with 60 wins in history. There are actually very few teams with more than 60 wins in each season. When there are many teams, the limit is only 3-4 teams in a season, and when there are few teams, there are even no teams at all in a season.

.

At the same time, teams with more than 60 wins are often related to the championship competition that season. Many records of more than 60 wins are even the pinnacle of a team's history.

For many teams, 60 wins may only come once or twice, and the Lakers only have 12 wins at most in their history.

Take the Knicks as an example. They have only had more than 60 wins in a single season twice in their history. One was during the Ewing era, and the other was back in the 1970s when they won the championship.

But it can also be found that 60 wins are undoubtedly linked to the stars.

The Greens and Lakers have brought countless superstars to the league, and the two teams have created a dynasty that is unparalleled in history. They have also created the two teams with the most 60 wins in the league.

The Bulls' 60 wins marked the Bulls dynasty and Jordan's mark.

The Spurs, from David Robinson to the GDP combination, of course cannot forget a leader - coach Popovich.

Julius Erving and Chamberlain made their names known to the 76ers.

The Bad Boys and the Pistons Five each used their team power to achieve 60 wins.

The Bucks have been away from the ranks of strong teams for many years, but among the four times they have won 60 games, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has been branded three times.

Barkley brought 60 wins once, and the other two were the result of the more admirable combination of Nash Stoudemire and the small ball storm.

Jazz duo, Jerry Sloan, Utah fans’ wonderful and bitter memories.

And the glory of Dallas - Dirk Nowitzki.

The King of Princeton, Chris Webber, will always be remembered.

SuperSonics star Peyton Kemp, that was Seattle's most glorious moment...

Every 60 wins is engraved in the memory of a generation of fans.

Therefore, being able to win 60 games is also an important moment in a star's career. No one can refuse such a moment.

Therefore, it is natural for people to pay attention at this time.

Moreover, there are 4 teams that have a chance to achieve 60 wins this season, namely the Western Lakers, Eastern Cavaliers, Knicks and Celtics. Three of them were veteran strong teams last season. Only the Knicks suddenly killed them like a comet.

came out and took away most of people's sight.

So much so that even though James, who currently has 59 wins and is only one step away from 60 wins, has not received as much attention as the Knicks and Zuo Li.

Of course, this may also be because the gap between Grameen and New York is really too big.

Currently, 57 wins are already among the top five in Knicks history, and now the Knicks have a real chance to move toward 60 wins.

And all of this was brought about by Zuo Li, a rookie. How can this not surprise people?

Moreover, Zuo Li is leading the team with a single core, and he is still leading the team with a single core as a rookie. The current record can be said to have reached the forefront of history. Anyway, among the current superstars, there is no one who has a rookie season.

He has led the team to achieve such results, which can even be said to be the first in history. Even players like Magic cannot compare with Zuo Li's team leadership ability.

Howard needs to thank the Knicks for their record performance, which made the news that he was dunked on the left wing only ranked second on the news list after the game...

Ahem, it's still not much better.

People are obviously more concerned about whether the Knicks can win 60 games at this time!

Of course, 60 wins does not mean everything. For example, the Houston Rockets, it is hard to believe that they have never reached 60 wins in a season in team history, but they have won two championships.

And most of the more 60-win teams failed on the big stage of the playoffs. For example, the best regular season record in the past five years was 67 wins. It was not accompanied by championship glory but an embarrassing best record in history.

Black eight.

Things like this happen almost every NBA season.

60 wins is just a sublimation of a team's performance, followed closely by 59 wins and 58 wins. Seasons with similar records may not reach 60 wins due to injuries and too much research by opponents.

Therefore, the regular season record does not represent everything. The 82 regular season games are like our homework, exercises, and quizzes in our senior year of high school. The playoffs have reached the level of model and model two. The real test is the finals like the college entrance examination.

So when asked about the topic of 60 wins, Zuo Li said: "No matter how well you have done before, the most important thing is to focus on the present."

In fact, what Zuo Li wanted to say was, don’t give in, don’t give in, it’s not too late to wait until we get 60 wins. Do you want to give us such talk to death?

really!

Facing the Nuggets at home, the Knicks unfortunately lost 104-111, ending their winning streak.
