Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

At the moment when time was coming to an end, almost all the commentators around the world smashed their headphones and stood up to applaud and cheer for the winning Knicks. Yang Yi was still unsatisfied and sang a classic rap.

Of course, except for the narrator in Orlando, they are already enveloped in huge regret, sadness and helplessness at this moment.

If Howard hadn't forced his left turn, if Howard hadn't been injured and unable to play at the most critical moment, if Turkoglu could have scored that three-pointer, or even if they had played more simply in the third quarter, they would have gained a bigger lead.

...then maybe the situation would be completely different.

But unfortunately, there are no ifs in life, and naturally no ifs are accepted in the arena.

What happens is what happens. At the moment it happens, there is only one thing everyone can do, and that is to accept it.

Of course, you accept not only the results, but also the emotions.

As soon as the ribbons dispersed, everyone on the Knicks bench yelled and rushed out, directly lifting Zuo Li up, but instead of throwing him down, they spun around wildly twice.

"It feels so good to win." Zuo Li, who was lying in the air enjoying the pleasure of weightlessness, smiled and stared at the ceiling. Although there was no buzzer beater and there was no excitement like the three overtimes at the end of the previous round, at this time his

The excitement is no less than the killer moment a few days ago.

Eastern Conference Champion!

This honor that he had never thought of finally belonged to him at this moment.

The Knicks players who were carrying Zuoli were even more excited. Little Ewing, who made an outstanding contribution in this game, was holding Zuoli's thigh and shouting "God". He did it in the first year of his career.

The highest honor in his father's life, little Ewing felt like he was going to faint.

And next to him is the rich second generation. The elder - if he can't play basketball, he will go home and inherit the family property - Wei Li. Now he just wants to let his family see that playing basketball is also very promising. He is not doing his job and following the boss to make money.

eat.

Of course, there was another man who was lame and followed the Knicks step by step to celebrate, highlighting an indomitable fat black man. The tight-fitting suit and his big belly looked a bit funny on him, but how could he care about that at this time?

, he only knows that he has entered the finals and he is going to compete for the championship!

What no one saw was that D'Antoni, a gentle and gentle head coach who usually didn't curse, punched the air three times behind them like a tough guy.

"Fuck! The season is so long!"

This series is simply longer than the entire season. As the most unlucky head coach in the league, he has never won a division championship and has never been to the finals in his life. Under such circumstances, he can lead the team to where it is today.

One step and it really is a dream come true.

At this time, all the Knicks fans were applauding wildly, the girls in the stands hugged each other indiscriminately, and Spike Lee knelt on the ground with his hands pointing to the sky, mumbling unknown words in his mouth.

In the box, Dolan roared crazily at the glass. At this moment, he was no longer a stupid rich second generation, but an ordinary fan who was completely infected by basketball.

"Reward, give me a big reward, especially Zuo Li, his grandmother's. I don't think anyone now dares to say that I don't understand football. How can I trade Zuo Li if I don't understand football?!" Dolan directed at the assistant boss.

Roar, then continue to celebrate, and turn around again two seconds later: "No, no, no, Zuo Li's rewards, etc., I will hand them out personally!"

"Yes!" the assistant yelled excitedly. At this moment, he also felt that the money should be spent well. When the Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals, their market value increased by 9%. Now after 10

Returning to the finals in 2017, there is also the legendary rookie Zuo Li, whose market value has increased by an unknown amount, and a small bonus is nothing!

But the assistant didn't know that Dolan's next move was not just a small bonus.

But she was right about one point, that is, after this game, Zuo Li truly became the most legendary rookie in history!

In his first year as a rookie, he led the team to second place in the regular season and won 62 wins. In the first round of the playoffs, they swept the Bulls, the strongest competitor of the same year and the biggest loser in New York history. In the second round, they eliminated the defending champion with a 3-overtime victory in 7 games.

Champion, he also defeated the Magic in a tiebreaker in the Eastern Conference Finals, leading the team to an incredible run into the Finals. Still, in the unfavorable situation of the team's No. 2 being absent and being beaten 3-3 by the Magic, he single-handedly carried the team with incredible performance.

Winning the tiebreaker, looking at the entire NBA history, such people are even rare to describe.

Zuo Li's own statistics are also impeccable. Take this tiebreaker as an example. Zuo Li took 25 shots and hit 16 goals. He made 1 of 3 three-pointers and 7 of 12 free throws. He scored wildly throughout the game.

40 points, and a game-high 16 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds. In addition, he also sent out 10 assists. This was his fourth triple-double in the playoffs this season.

, second only to Magic Johnson who ranked second in his rookie season five times.

The game-high 7 blocks and 2 steals were also unanswerable.

His performance eclipsed Howard's 28 points and 12 rebounds, Turkoglu's 25 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Five of the Magic's players scored in double figures but ultimately failed to save the team.

Of course, the Knicks were able to win. David Lee's 16 points, Ke Liu's 15 points, and Dragic's 11 points and 5 assists also played a major role.

But Zuo Li can indeed be called a single-core team leading the team to the finals.

So far in the game, Zuoli has averaged an astonishing 30.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 5.8 blocks, 5.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the playoffs. Except for rebounds, other statistics have improved to a higher level than in the regular season. There is no doubt that the star is a star.

Barkley said with great emotion: "No rookie in the NBA in the past 50 years can match Zuo Li's performance."

Indeed, even Chamberlain did not reach the finals in his rookie season. Jordan and James did not even make the playoffs. Anthony's personal data was very good but he was eliminated in the first round. Although Magic Johnson made it to the finals, his personal data was average.

The team also has a big brother in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

From this point of view, Zuo Li is already the only player in the rookie class.

A legendary rookie, well deserved.

On the court, after celebrating, the Knicks players were joking and walking quickly back to the locker room. They had to change into the hats and T-shirts they had prepared in advance to prepare for the upcoming Eastern Conference championship award ceremony.

The Magic players couldn't hide their disappointment. Howard left this sad place dozens of seconds before the end. His perfect season came to an end at this moment.

However, Magic head coach Van Gundy politely stepped forward to shake D'Antoni's hand, and found Zuo Li to express congratulations to him!

Reporters also flocked to the press conference hall, because according to the rules, after the simple awards ceremony, the entire Knicks team will go to the press conference hall to participate in the post-game press conference.

They couldn't wait to interview Zuo Li!
