Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Um?"

At this moment, Zuo Li's eyes widened.

"what's the situation?"

"To be honest, I have fallen in love with the feeling of winning now." Randolph spread his hands, then twisted around to greet almost everyone in the locker room: "I think they are the same."

Everyone: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right! (Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.)"

"Before, I was a bad person, man, I always knew it." Randolph patted his chest.

I believe fans who have been watching football since the beginning of the century will have a deep understanding of what kind of person Zach Randolph is.

To be honest, in that era, there was no worse team than the Rose Garden, whether it was atmosphere or team culture, in every sense. Even the Pistons and Pacers, the two creators of Auburn Hills,

All teams had to make way for them, and even the Pistons' bad boys were far less notorious than them.

At that time, in addition to Pippen and Sabonis, the Rose Garden Arena also had famous pundits. As you know, there was Rasheed Wallace, nicknamed the Roaring God, who threatened referees at every turn.

There is Patterson, who is suspected of domestic violence and calls himself Kobe Bryant's terminator; there is Stoudemire, a little flying squirrel who is suspected of hiding drugs and speeding; there is Old Camp, who is alcoholic and addicted to XD;

Bonzie Wells, who put the fans in their eyes, was nicknamed the Portland-Prison Team by the media because these big guys had all served prison time.

In such an environment, how could the young and Dangerous Randolph be content to be inferior to others?

So the fledgling rookie directly transformed himself into the leader of the Trail Blazers at that time. Patterson's training ground blast was his career masterpiece. From that time on, no one dared to fight with Randolph...

What happened after that became more and more outrageous, which was very consistent with the situation of the Trail Blazers and the situation of the United States.

Until he came to New York, he was still the most restless one. It wasn't until Zuo Li came here this year and fucked him directly on the training ground that he became a lot more honest.

To be honest, he was unconvinced at that time and wanted to find a chance to give Zuo Li a break, but what happened next made him give up the idea.

Ahem, it's definitely not because Zuo Li came from Harlem, and there were a bunch of younger brothers who came out of the orphanage to hang out in gangs at the same time, and they were very familiar with all the big guys.

In short, Randolph was determined to change.

This is how Randolph is now, never missing training, staying calm off the court and not looking for trouble, and pursuing victory rather than data.

Since this season, Randolph feels like he has gained a new lease of life.

He gained victory and the best record in the playoffs. At the same time, he was also loved and respected by the fans. He just received an endorsement two days ago. Although the money is not much, for a person who has always been a villain.

, this is definitely the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.

Such feedback lets him know that he has finally found the right path, so he wants to continue winning.

"But this season, basketball gives me a different feeling. It feels so good to win, and I like the atmosphere in the locker room very much."

"I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win."

Randolph looked at Zuo Li and said: "We said before that reaching the Eastern Conference Finals is success, but now, maybe we can try to go one step further!"

"right!"

"Boss, there's nothing to be afraid of magic, just do it to them!"

"I have never been to the finals. I must go in and experience it this time!"

…

Others also talked about it in various ways. They each have their own mental journeys, but obviously, this season's journey has made them think very much the same at the moment.

The reason why they talked to Zuo Li was because they trusted Zuo Li, and they also hoped that Zuo Li could ignite his fighting spirit.

"Huh~" After hearing what they said, Zuo Li let out a long breath. If he had known that everyone thought so, there would be no need to waste so many brain cells last night.

"Why not?" Zuo Li looked around: "Guys, do you think I don't want to win so much? I said before that reaching the Eastern Conference Finals means the season is successful, but I didn't say that this is what we want this season.

The end!”

"Maybe they don't think much of us!"

"But, in a word, losing is not impossible, but it must be due to a real lack of strength. It is absolutely impossible to expect us to admit defeat. On the contrary, we must work hard to play every game well and strive to overthrow our opponents."

"The opposite team is blocking James and the Cavaliers, the favorites to win the championship, from the Eastern Conference Finals."

"I'm just asking you if you are afraid!"

"Afraid of me!"

"I, Randolph, have never known what it's like to be afraid since I was born!"

"Howard, let him come to our place and give it a try!"

…

very good!

Zuo Li nodded with satisfaction. Consensual chicken soup is the real good chicken soup. Don’t worry about the embarrassment or not, as long as it works!

So Coach D'Antoni entered the locker room and was greeted by a group of crazy players...

Although he was confused, D'Antoni was very pleased. This looks like a team that can play in the finals!

"Train, train well, the game starts tomorrow, I hope we can greet them with a good start!" D'Antoni said.

So the next day...

There is so little time to prepare for the game. There is not even a media open day. Two days later, the Eastern Conference Finals will start on the third day.

On the evening of May 21, the first game between the Knicks and the Magic took place in Madison Square. The much-anticipated first game of the Western Conference Finals is finally about to begin!

At 7 pm local time and 9 am BJ time, fans from both sides wait in front of the TV to wait for their favorite team to appear.

There is no doubt that this game attracted a large number of fans.

Staples has always been famous for its celebrity gathering, but Madison has never been afraid of comparing the star lineup. Even though many people are developing in Hollywood, they have chosen to come to Madison to watch the game at this time. Eli Manning also found a

The gang also occupied a large area of ​​the stadium, and Zuoli's tickets were given to the Tom and Jerry brothers, as well as several and1 street ball players, such as the professor, who was sitting in the third row, very well-behaved.

The most attractive thing among them turned out to be Knicks boss Dolan. When he saw Zuo Li warming up, the old man stood up and shouted: "Hey hey hey! E on! Come on!"

Zuo Li kept smiling on the surface, but felt very helpless in his heart, "Don't be like this, boss, are you trying to learn from Cuban..."

This actually has little to do with the Magic's defeat of the Cavaliers. Although it was 4-2, the point difference in each game seemed not big, but in fact the Magic basically never fell behind. Except for James, no one in the Cavaliers could watch.

It seems that magic is not that strong.

But the Knicks are different. Not only did they play 7 games, but the incredible 3 overtimes and buzzer-beating victory in the end made the Knicks the most watched team at the moment.

And the most important thing is that Zuo Li and Howard, a pair of super centers who have been competing for a whole season, are finally going to decide the winner head-on!
