Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Ahem, as expected, different people have different worries..." Yu Jia, who wanted to go off track, coughed to hide his embarrassment. Compared with the 20-year-old failure to win the runner-up in the finals, being dumped by his girlfriend at the age of 20 is really nothing good.

Mentioning.

But Yu Jia is also very happy, because he knows that Zuo Li's troubles may be more difficult to eliminate. After all, the feeling of losing in the finals is definitely more uncomfortable than being dumped by his girlfriend. Losing in the finals is not just what some people say.

Second place in the season, but the biggest loser closest to the championship.

Although, no matter from which aspect, Zuo Li could not find fault.

In fact, Zuo Li himself has become a banner for all rookies.

"Zuo Li scored 48 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks in this game. He scored 40 back to back. There were 7 games in the finals, 30 in one game, 40 in 3 games, 50 in 1 game. There was also a 40 triple-double in one game, averaging points per game.

37.1 points is the highest score in a rookie finals in history. Even in history, Zuo Li ranks third in history behind only O'Neal's 38 points per game in the 2000 Finals and Jordan's 41 points per game in the 1993 Finals!

"

"At the same time, the left-hander averaged 14.8 rebounds, 5.6 blocks and 4.5 assists, and averaged 68.8% shooting per game."

"Without a doubt, this is one of the most classic finals performances in history."

"Considering that he was a rookie and led the Knicks, who were not optimistic from the beginning to the end, he counterattacked the dark horse all the way, defeated many strong teams such as the Magic and Celtics, and fought fiercely with the Lakers for 7 games.

Such achievements are enough to be recorded in the annals of history.”

"I can swear on my many years of commentary experience that Zuo Li has a bright future. This is far from his end. His future will be extremely bright." Yang Yi said at the end of his commentary.

It could be heard that he recognized Zuo Li's performance very much. If Zuo Li wasn't still a rookie, he would probably be able to make a "throne" speech.

It's just that the sad Knicks fans can't listen anymore, because who doesn't want the present more than the illusory future. If you don't believe it, look at the last big brother who said "The future is yours". He hasn't waited for his future yet.

Woolen cloth.

Now many Knicks fans are thinking, if Zuo Li had more helpers, if Kobe couldn't make those three crucial three-pointers in the end, if they could be a little luckier...

It's just a pity that there are no ifs in the world. Ifs mean the existence of regrets, and regrets are often irreparable. For example, Zuo Li will never be able to complete his great career of winning the championship and winning FMVP in his rookie season.

Although there are not many people in the NBA who can achieve this kind of great achievement, the first person in NBA history, Jordan, does not, Chamberlain, Russell does not, Kobe does not, and James naturally does not.

But many fans who like Zuo Li naturally hope that their idol can do it, and he is really the person closest to doing it in history.

Moreover, the sight of Zuo Li leaving the court broke the hearts of countless Knicks fans. Many beauties from the Upper East Side of New York posted messages on social networks in an attempt to comfort Zuo Li.

Even Anne Hathaway posted: "My heart is broken when I see this scene." The accompanying picture shows Zuo Li's slightly disappointed back as he left the court.

Ewing also sent a message to comfort Zuo Li, saying: "I won't blame anyone, because they did a great job, better than me. Don't be discouraged, young man, you are the best, you are the pride of the Knicks."

Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not immediately congratulate the Lakers for winning the championship immediately after the game. Instead, he took the lead in praising Zuo Li. Facing the media, he said that Zuo Li was honored even though he lost and that he had contributed the most exciting game in history. round finals.

Dayao even posted a photo of Zuo Li captured on the court in a one-on-three matchup and called Zuo Li: "The pride of the yellow race."

In addition, O'Neal, Nash, Deron, Wade and other players also sent messages to express their comfort to Zuo Li.

In addition to these celebrities, the attitude of the fans is also worth mentioning.

New York fans have always been known for being difficult to deal with, and they had their part in abandoning Ewing in the first place, but this time, almost all Knicks fans said they were satisfied with the result.

"There is nothing dissatisfied. We are the runner-up and the Eastern Conference champion. Zuo Li is amazing. He played an impressive performance. All he lacks is time and better helpers."

"Please don't attack Zuo Li. He is the one who suffers the most when he loses the tiebreaker. He is a hero."

"Don't worry, no one will go. It's just sb. Anyone with eyes can see Zuo Li's strength."

In short, Zuo Li has done a great job.

…

The New York media collectively spoke for the Knicks and Zuo Li. Except for a few sensational media outlets, there was almost no criticism. However, some media criticized the New York management, saying that they did too little support for Zuo Li.

The post-game news of this round of the finals is also a rare occasion where congratulations for winning the championship and comfort for the loser are equally expressed. Zuo Li's popularity has not declined but has increased. The fans in New York gave him applause after the game and comforted him. So sad.

Even Kobe Bryant expressed his appreciation for Zuo Li after the game and believed that Zuo Li had done everything. He even felt that Zuo Li's performance was as good as his. If the Knicks win, Zuo Li will be the finals MVP.

Of course, some people expressed concerns about this. Barkley was very worried about Zuo Li's mood: "The Knicks need to give Zuo Li more time. After all, this is the first time in Zuo Li's life that he has lost after entering the finals. This is normal, but For a talented and successful person like Zuo Li, how to get out is a problem, it is not easy."

Kenny Smith glanced sideways at Buckley, "Aren't you talking about yourself? I always feel that the emotions here are like yours..."

However, Smith also has to admit that what Barkley said makes sense. After all, Zuo Li is only 20 years old, and his previous basketball career was extremely successful. He won the Division II state championship in the first year of high school, the state championship and the national championship in the second year, and then After four years of domination, he won the championship in his first year in the NCAA, and his entry into the NBA was smooth sailing. If he failed by chance, he might lose control of his emotions.

After the game, Zuo Li, who was absent from the press conference, seemed to confirm this view.

Head coach D'Antoni did not disclose Zuo Li's whereabouts, but said: "Strictly speaking, the season is over after this game. The players are free. I don't know where Zuo Li will go, but we will." We will meet in Madison Square in two days and that will be the last time we are together for the season."

Now the Knicks fans and even the reporters couldn't sit still. They took out their mobile phones and started sending messages around, just to mobilize the masses to find where Zuoli was.

And where is Zuo Li right now...

At this time, Zuo Li has already boarded the bus to the airport, and he will be the first to rush back to New York...
