Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

As early as when the Knicks achieved 8 wins and 0 losses, the Knicks had already surpassed the best start in team history. In the 1993-94 season, the Knicks had 7 consecutive wins at the beginning, and now, the Knicks have temporarily improved this result.

Arrived at 10 wins and 0 losses.

This start can already rank in the top 15 of the best starts in NBA history, and currently the first place is the Houston Rockets at 93-94. Dream led the team to a 15-game winning streak, tying the Washington Congress in 48

-The ancient record of 15 consecutive wins set in the 1949 season, followed closely by the Mavericks in the 2002-03 season, when they started with a 14-game winning streak.

However, people had no time to pay attention to the team's record at this time, and their attention was attracted by Zuo Li!

Starting from November 7, when he defeated the Cavaliers in an away game and scored an astonishing 50 points, Zuo Li has scored more than 30 points in all 5 consecutive games. This is not yet ranked in the history of 30 consecutive rankings, but with this

With Bo's heroic performance, Zuo Li topped the scoring list for the first time in his career!

Five games ago, the top player was not the absolute superstars James, Kobe or Wade that people have recognized in recent seasons, but the core of the Thunder, the 2007 third-year rookie Kevin Durant, who averaged 30.1 points per game.

.

According to Durant's performance in the previous few games, he is definitely a superstar, and his growth and triple jump performance in three years undoubtedly prove the gold content of the second pick in 2007. At least, the Trail Blazers will not regret selecting Oden no matter what.

, Seeing Adu’s performance, my heart will really bleed.

Compared to Durant, Zuo Li's performance is not so impressive. Although he is still the league's double-double king, if it weren't for the interruption of one game in the playoffs last season, Zuo Li's consecutive double-doubles would be so scary now.

, but even so, in the field of double-double, Zuo Li is already the person at the top of the pyramid.

However, in terms of scoring alone, Zuo Li's average of 25 points is not very impressive. After all, it is 0.8 points lower than last year. Compared with Zuo Li's other aspects of performance, his scoring is easily overlooked. Although his efficiency is invincible, it is ordinary

Fans don't care about this.

At that time, some people on the forum said that Zuo Li was in love with paddling. After all, among all the core players of the 30 teams in the league, Zuo Li averaged the fewest shots per game.

However, after playing against the Cavaliers, Zuo Li seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. His average shots per game increased sharply, but his shooting percentage remained stable. This also caused his average points per game to continue to soar, from 25 points to 31.2 points.

Wave operation, directly surpassing Durant to top the scoring list!

Zuo Li, who was already the focus of public opinion, suddenly attracted more attention. Whether it was off-court sneaker sales, team records, personal data, or romantic relationships, newspapers and magazines were full of news about Zuo Li.

"He's so hot," said ESPN's review.

As for why Zuoli suddenly broke out, many experts also gave their own opinions, some based on Zuoli's technical analysis, and some started from tactics.

The most popular analysis among fans is undoubtedly Sports Illustrated. In the latest issue, with Zuo Li on the cover, Sports Illustrated analyzed Zuo Li's shots, shooting percentage, and team's first and last five games.

Based on the data of his teammates, we finally came to the conclusion: Zuo Li stood up when the team needed it most!

"It can also be seen from the point difference in these games that the Knicks are not as good as in the previous games. The outside shooting rate has dropped from 56.8% in the first five games to 35%. The average points per game have also dropped by about 10 points, while the number of turnovers has increased.

20%. Teammate scores also decreased."

"This is not surprising. The Knicks were in such good shape before that it concealed the fact that they had mostly young players on the team. Instability is the main characteristic of a team with many young players. Look at the Grizzlies next door.

They can play the Lakers back and forth, or they can be defeated by the Nets."

"The Knicks still maintained a winning streak. The main reason is that Zuo Li increased his number of shots from 13 to 19 per game. His shooting percentage remained at an astonishing 75%, and his free throw percentage was as high as 84.4%.

These statistics are a step up from last season.”

"This is the reason. Zuo Li stepped up when the Knicks needed him, and when his teammates were in good shape, Zuo Li would hand over the ball. This is the reason why Zuo Li's assists have dropped in recent games."

This analysis is well-founded and convincing, and neither left nor right can find a problem.

So fans on the Internet lamented: "Zuo Li, he is so team-oriented." Gu Gao

A subsequent poll conducted by ESPN showed that Zuo Li topped the list of players most suitable for building a team in the fans' minds with 34% of the votes.

ESPN always likes to conduct these weird investigations, but this can also be seen that fans have a left-leaning status in their hearts.

On the following November 19, during the Knicks' home game against the Pacers, Zuo Li's performance seemed to support Sports Illustrated's view.

In this game, the Knicks' youth team was still not in particularly good condition. At the beginning of the game, Curry and Belinelli made three-pointers one after another. However, after that, Curry missed three consecutive shots and Belinelli also failed.

Missed an open three-point opportunity, resulting in the Pacers leading 21-17 by 4 points in the first quarter.

Zuo Li had 4 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, and only made 2 of his shots, both at the last moment when the Knicks were lagging behind. Zuo Li had always been the pivot to help his teammates create opportunities. However, his teammates tonight

The feel is average.

So in the second quarter, Zuo Li started to show off his power and continued to use his speed advantage in the paint to beat Hibbert successfully. He scored 10 points in a single quarter and helped the Knicks go ahead by 1 point at the end of the second quarter and enter the second half.

"Zuo Li has turned on his personal scoring mode." Barkley asserted at midfield that the rest of the Knicks were not feeling well tonight, while the Pacers' shooting percentage reached 50%. If they want to win, Zuo Li must stand up.

Sure enough, in the second half, the Pacers Granger and Hibbert connected and beat the Knicks 7-0 in a short period of time. Then Zuoli scored 21, and Granger made a three-pointer over Chandler.

Zuo Li, who was lagging behind, directly deducted the pass button and scored 7 points in 4 minutes, 12 points in a single quarter, allowing the Knicks to enter the final quarter with a 2-point advantage.

In the last quarter, the Pacers launched a double-team on Zuo Li. However, the powerful Zuo Li used his fierce low-post ability to repeatedly break the double-team. Hibbert committed 6 fouls with 6 minutes left. So far, no one inside was left.

Zuo Li's opponent.

With 14 points in a single quarter, Zuo Li led the team to a 106-100 victory over the Pacers.

Zuo Li scored 40 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, while Granger's 33 points and 6 rebounds and Hibbert's 16 points and 10 rebounds were in vain.

Translation Translation, what is real team basketball!

Knicks win 11th consecutive game!

After the game, Granger said helplessly: "We tried our best, but Zuo Li was too fierce."

Stephen Curry, who felt average tonight, affirmed Sports Illustrated's evaluation of Zuo Li: "Zuo Li's team? Of course! He is a real leader and will have the courage to stand up and take responsibility when we are not going well. He is ours."

Dinghai Shenzhen."

D'Antoni said that Zuo Li doesn't care about data: "He just does what he needs to do. As for data, he takes it very lightly."

The left side is numb.

You don’t pay attention to data and you still top the three charts, what else do you want!?
