Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

It's suspenseful, but actually it's not that big, because the Knicks' opponent in the last game was not a strong team, but the New Jersey Nets, who currently have 34 wins and 46 losses and are ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference.

In the previous three meetings, the Knicks won easily three times, beating their opponents by an average of 18.5 points per game. The Knicks have the third-largest point differential this season, second only to the two unlucky Raptors and Bucks.

As for the team's important statistics such as rebounds, assists, and steals, the Knicks also have an overall advantage. It can be said that as long as they perform normally, it is not difficult for the Knicks to win this game.

In these three games, Zuo Li averaged 29.5 points, 15.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.9 blocks and 1 steal per game. He shot 70.4% from the field, 44.4% from the three-point range, 72% from the free throw line, and averaged turnovers per game.

There were only 1.8 times and 2 fouls, which can be said to have completely surpassed Zuoli's regular season statistics.

This is also understandable. In addition to the weakness of the Nets, Zuo Li's performance is also affected by the United Arab Emirates. Because of the existence of the United Arab Emirates, Zuo Li treats the Nets as a derby every time, and his condition is naturally full.

So in this last game, the outside world is generally optimistic that Zuo Li can complete the incredible 82 double-doubles in the season.

Barkley also said humorously: "The only one who can stop Zuo Li is probably D'Antoni."

This is really possible.

Now almost all fans and media are afraid that the Knicks will suddenly take a rest. After all, although Zuo Li's playing time has dropped sharply before, he is indeed the only player among the Knicks' starting five who has not rested. You know, even Ke

Liudu took two games off, but Zuo Li maintained full attendance in 81 games.

After losing to the Heat in the last game, which ended the suspense of the Eastern Conference playoffs early, there is no guarantee that D'Antoni will not rest his generals for the upcoming playoffs. After all, the playoffs are obviously more important than the inconsequential regular season.

The Knicks' regular season this season can be said to have been very complete. Various records have been broken. They have now achieved the best regular season record in team history. They are currently second in the Eastern Conference, surpassing the defending champions of the Celtics.

After winning one game, the next step is to win another game. The difference between 62 wins and 61 wins is not too big. Even if you lose, it will not affect your playoff ranking. In this case, resting is undoubtedly the smartest way.

You must know that although the Knicks are successful enough in the regular season, the playoffs are a completely different game, and any lack of preparation may lead to an overturn.

And the Knicks are definitely the target of public criticism. Everyone's eyes are staring at their every move. If they don't do well in the playoffs or are counterattacked in the first round, what will greet the Knicks will not be comfort, but will definitely be

It’s all kinds of bitter ridicule and all kinds of verbal criticism. The black men who can’t be seen now will also have a collective climax and charge on the front line of the Black Knicks.

By that time, Zuo Li and D'Antoni may not care, but it's anyone's guess whether others can bear it. After all, this is New York. When it comes to the level of NT in the media, there is no place in the world that can compare with this place.

The last time the Knicks won 60 games but unexpectedly fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they were criticized by the media for their personal incompetence. That was the media more than ten years ago, and their combat effectiveness is not on the same level as the new media that have just entered the Internet gate. This

If it had been now, I would probably have wiped out all the right things for you!

It is conceivable that the pressure to play in the playoffs here is much greater than elsewhere.

And even if you put aside the expectations of the media and the outside world, the Knicks themselves are full of ambitions for the playoffs. To reach this point, although it is stated that the task has been completed this season, who doesn't want to make contributions in the playoffs?

Woolen cloth.

The outside world is also aware of the current situation of the Knicks, so they made this speculation. Even Zuo Li's online fan club and fans have already thought of reasons for Zuo Li and the Knicks in advance. Some people have already warned the radical fans on the Internet in advance.

If you are unable to stand on the left, don't get excited, let alone rush to the head coach and other staff.

And what about Zuo Li’s own thoughts?

Of course we have to fight!

Zuo Li found D'Antoni after the game against the Heat and expressed his desire to play.

As the outside world thinks, D'Antoni originally wanted Zuo Li to rest for a day. After all, according to the schedule, the first round of the playoffs will start on the 18th, which means that after the final round on the 16th, he only has 1 day to rest. The only dilemma

The only thing is the record. D'Antoni also feels that it is a pity to give up like this. After all, he has been coaching for so many years and has never seen anyone maintain a double-double for an entire season in 82 games. This record is even comparable to 100 points in a single game.

Waiting for a god-level record.

Although 81 games is equally shocking, missing one game is like missing a corner of a cake. It can drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death. Although missing one game will not affect Zuo Li's success in his rookie season, it will definitely become a big regret. After all,

Adding up the two items of 82 consecutive double-doubles in the new season, it is estimated that no one will be able to do it again.

So D'Antoni doesn't know how to choose.

But Zuo Li is very confident. Firstly, he has a system by his side and has a strong recovery ability. Secondly, this is 82 consecutive double-doubles!

Anyone familiar with NBA double-double records knows what this number means.

The record is right in front of you, there is no reason not to take it. As for the coach's worries, Zuo Li himself is very confident.

"Don't worry, coach, one session is enough." Zuo Li said confidently.

"Okay, it's nothing. Play slowly. We are not in a hurry. I will congratulate you in advance here." After hearing what Zuo Li said, D'Antoni didn't hesitate anymore. The player's wishes are still the most important. He believes that Zuo Li can do it.

Balance the relationship between record and playoffs.

As for getting two pairs in one quarter, he didn't take it seriously. He just listened to this and it was over. If he really took it seriously, he must have some serious disease in his brain!

However, one day later, on the night of the 16th, D'Antoni really felt that something was wrong with his mind...

Before the game, when Zuo Li appeared on the Knicks roster and continued to start, fans around the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, things that force obsessive-compulsive disorder to death will not happen.

The fans moved small benches and sat in front of the TV, ready to wait for the end of the last suspense of the season.

The rest of the Knicks' starting lineup sat on the bench, including Dragic who had diarrhea, Larry Hughes who caught a cold, Randolph who bumped his buttocks in the shower, and Chandler who was eating Apple cards and wearing a suit and tie.

On the sidelines.

Four people are betting on how long it will take Zuo Li to complete a double-double tonight.

The most daring Dragic guessed the same as the previous game, half time.

Others vary from three quarters to the whole game. After all, the Nets are purely the main force, and the Knicks have rested 4 main players. Their strength has waxed and waned. It is still unclear whether Zuo Li can easily get rebounds and score points.

However, in the first second, Zuo Li told everyone with a make-up dunk, two doubles? Isn't it a quick thing?

In the next half quarter, Zuo Li hit all four of his shots, bringing his score to 10 points and 7 rebounds. The Knicks' substitute shooting turned out to be Zuo Li's tool for consecutive rebounds and points!

This half is already done!

Arab Lian was dumbfounded. He looked at his 3 points and 2 rebounds and fell into deep thought...

It turns out that two-double data is so easy!

Then, in the last minute of the first quarter, Ke Liu made a three-pointer, and David Lee under the basket withstood the Arab League, which once again gave Zuo Li a chance!

Bang!

Make up for the deduction!

"Congratulations to Zuo Li! omg! The 10th rebound in the first quarter, the 5th offensive rebound, the third putback dunk, 12 points and 10 rebounds. Congratulations to Zuo Li for getting a double-double in 82 consecutive games!" Smith was dumbfounded.

.

Who would have thought that this suspense would be completely ended in less than 12 minutes!
