Smith went even further. He believed that Zuo Li had created indelible achievements: "Zuo Li's achievements are enough to be tied with Ewing! He is the well-deserved goat of this team!"
This sentence sounds a bit excessive. Ewing still made great achievements in the Knicks and reached the Finals twice. Although he failed in the end, this was indeed the best result of the Knicks in 40 years.
However, Smith's reason is also very good. He believes that Zuo Li has allowed the New Yorkers to regain the feeling of victory and the confidence to win!
There's nothing wrong with that.
This is the New York Knicks' return to the Eastern Conference finals after 10 years. The last time was in the 1998-99 season. That year they created a miracle and counterattacked in the Eastern Conference as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, eventually becoming the first team in NBA history.
The team that entered the finals as the eighth seed.
And this season is equally unsolvable. Starting from the last place in the league last season, it overturned all the masters along the way, won 62 games, swept the old team Bulls in the first round, and overturned the Celtics in the semi-finals to advance to the Eastern Conference.
Decide.
Of course, it seems now that the single-round playoffs are still the same as the Knicks ten years ago. After all, no novel would dare to write about eight teams reaching the finals or something like that.
However, the Knicks that year were affected by injuries. Ewing did not return from injury until the playoffs. In addition, it was a shortened season, with only 50 games in total. There was not much of a gap between the top eight, and this season
The Knicks really started from the bottom. Before the start of the season, people recognized them as a strong contender at the bottom of the league. I don't know how many people were slapped in the face along the way.
Of course, they have only entered the Eastern Conference Finals at this time, and there is still a gap between them and the original Finals.
However, as far as the Knicks are concerned at this moment, who dares to really think that the Eastern Conference Finals is their end, after all, they have even overturned the defending champion.
But now Zuo Li doesn't think that far ahead. The Eastern Conference finals are all a matter later. At this moment, he has completely let go of all the baggage after making it to the Eastern Conference finals. His goal for this season has been completely achieved.
Every step you take after that will make you money.
He finished second in the Eastern Conference during the regular season and eventually reached the Eastern Conference Finals. With his ability to lead a team, no one would say that he would not be able to perform well in the playoffs.
What?
You said the Magic Next Door is only fourth?
What does that have to do with Zuo Li? You have to ask the knight about this.
At this time, Zuo Li was too lazy to pay attention to the storm outside, and the celebration was over. He ran to the stands and took photos with the fans. The fans were really awesome tonight, and then he posted a photo of the stadium on Instagram after a long absence.
, interact with fans outside the stadium.
Of course, I didn’t forget to send Ome a selfie, reply to a text message from Curry, send an exclamation point to Rose, and steal the game ball.
This series is definitely a day worth remembering.
Then the Knicks players circled the court to pay tribute to all the fans. The reporters had already crowded the venue, waiting for the Knicks to finish celebrating and start a large-scale interview. Tonight's game was so exciting that everyone deserves to be interviewed. This is all
This is historical evidence.
The Celtics players left the venue after shaking hands with the Knicks players. They were in no mood to shake hands with the fans and sign autographs, let alone watch the Knicks fans cheering and celebrating around the stadium. They just wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.
land.
Unfortunately, as it was the last game of the season, they had to stay for interviews.
And Zuo Li soon became famous again in this interview.
Rivers: "We tried every method, including double-teaming, zone defense, and fouling, but we just couldn't stop him and couldn't prevent his buzzer-beater. If it wasn't for Zuo Li, the victory would have been ours."
Pierce; "The team tried their best, and so did I. Each of us played at 120%, but that guy Zuo Li was too strong and we couldn't solve him. We were very close to victory at one time, but it was a pity that we didn't seize all the opportunities.
Stay, we will summarize and see you next season."
Ray Allen: "I don't know how to break through. Zuo stood there and he made our inside very embarrassed. We can't blame them because he is too strong. As soon as he gets the ball, our entire team starts to get nervous."
Garnett: "The opponent's victory is undoubtedly attributed to Zuo Li, but I want to say it is because I am not here. I will recover from the injury and then complete the recovery in the summer. I will see you again next season. It will not be so easy then."
Already."
They were really convinced when they said this. Four Celtics scored in double figures tonight. Pierce scored 37 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Ray Allen had 17 points. Rondo had 13 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Parkin had 13 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
Si scored 6 points and Davis scored 5 points.
For the Knicks, in addition to Zuo Li, Randolph scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, David Lee scored 10 points, Ke Liu scored 10 points, and Dragic scored 11 points.
Overall, it was a 50-50 tie between the two sides, and the winner was Zuoli's blast from the inside and the buzzer-beater. Can they refuse to accept it?
Of course, they also remember this grudge, and next season will probably be even more exciting.
…
Zuo Li was unanimously recognized by his opponents, and when asked who they were more optimistic about entering the finals, they all chose the Knicks. Rondo even felt that Zuo Li could beat Howard.
However, regarding this issue, Zuo Li himself was very cautious. He did not feel complacent just because he defeated the Celtics. He was well aware of the Magic's combat effectiveness, so he said bluntly: "Although we have entered the Eastern Conference Finals, the game still needs to be played."
Game by game, the Magic are a very strong opponent and we will challenge them."
Zuo Li undoubtedly put the Knicks in the position of challenger. This is undoubtedly the most correct choice. Only in this way can the Knicks have a chance to win.
And Zuo Li has said so, and the Knicks will naturally not expand any more. They are absolutely convinced by Zuo Li at this moment. Veterans such as Larry Hughes even feel that the Knicks are in the right place to enter the league at the end of their career.
It’s really great to have the opportunity to compete in the Eastern Conference finals and the finals.
Therefore, many people changed their minds and said that Magic was the big favorite. They had to go through at least three overtimes to barely get through the small role, so Magic was easy to beat.
In short, it left Howard speechless while watching TV.
But it's hard to avoid feeling arrogant. Howard really thinks so... Compared with the Celtics, the Knicks must be better!
Howard already wanted to celebrate in advance at this moment. Not only is he about to enter the finals, James and Zuo Li will all be younger brothers by then!
If Zuo Li knew that an interview could make Howard feel proud, he would definitely shout: "Absolutely awesome!"
Isn't this the strongest boost before the Eastern Conference Finals?
After the interview, Zuo Li returned to the locker room and waved his hand to fulfill his promise during the game and treat everyone to dinner!
So at 12 o'clock in the morning, a group of luxury cars came out of the street arrogantly. Amid the excited cheers and cheers of New York fans along the way, they arrived at a high-end restaurant and had a feast. Zuo Li also bought some for everyone who wanted to go to the nightclub.
Single, let them completely release the pressure.
Anyway, there are still three days before the game, and they must completely release the pressure before they can go into battle lightly!
At the same time, Zuo Li is using different methods to saturate the world's screens. Chinese fans use the Internet to congratulate the Knicks for entering the Eastern Conference finals by dominating the screen. There are always congratulations wherever there is an Internet.
These four characters are Zuoli.
The excited Japanese fans also jumped into the river to bathe and drink water. There were even girls among them. I can only say that it is you who lived a good life as a kid.
