Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Because Zuo Li was killing everyone in the paint, the Knicks finally easily defeated the Orlando Magic on the road with a 20-point advantage, winning 17 consecutive games. Their single-month record was fixed at 15 wins and 0 losses, and they still maintained an undefeated start.

miraculous records.

The Knicks also became the first team in history to win a complete victory in the first month of the season, and the eighth team in history to go undefeated in a single month.

The 17-game winning streak is also the second longest winning streak in the history of the Knicks, second only to the 18-game winning streak led by Willis Reed in the 1969-70 season. It is worth mentioning that that year was also the first time the New York Knicks won the championship.

Today, I don’t know what will happen to the Knicks this year.

The star of this game is of course Zuo Li, who scored 10 points, 15 rebounds, 15 blocks and 8 assists in three quarters. He scored such a luxurious triple-double in the third quarter, which can even be called a near-quadruple. What did Zuo Li show in this game?

Called the world's best defense.

Those who were dissatisfied last season because Zuo Li defeated Howard to select the youngest defensive player in history can completely shut up tonight. After all, is there anything more convincing than defeating a competitor head-on?

Howard was honored as the most disappointing player in the game. He made only 3 of 11 shots and 3 of 7 free throws. He only scored 9 points and 10 rebounds. His immature mentality and being restricted by Zuo Li were the reason why the Magic lost tonight.

The main reason for the fiasco.

The rest of the Magic also performed generally, with Carter scoring a team-high 19 points, Nelson 14 points, and Lewis 9 points.

The Knicks' leading scorer was Curry with 26 points, and Dragic also scored 22 points. Both shot over 50%, which was the best shooting rate in their career. After all, they scored three goals.

Two-thirds of the points were layups...

Immediately after the game, Van Gundy criticized the team's performance. He believed that the team played too softly tonight and did not have the momentum of a strong team. By the way, he also said that the tactics they prepared for this game were too weak.

If you don't fight it out, the next encounter won't be so simple.

Regarding Fan's harsh words, Knicks coach D'Antoni responded jokingly: "Compared to their performance on the court, their mouths are obviously stronger. I am looking forward to them doing something different next time."

D'Antoni's ridicule made the reporters laugh. Isn't this what it means to be a strong-mouthed king? However, after watching this game, D'Antoni said that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He was still talking harshly after being beaten like this.

D'Antoni is different now from last season. He kept a low profile throughout last season. After all, the strength of the team and the depth of the lineup are there. You can't be careful.

But this season is different. 17 consecutive victories is something that everyone would feel satisfied with. Moreover, the Knicks are young, have unlimited potential, and have a thick enough lineup. Their failure last season also made them full of motivation, so it is time to give the entire league a try.

Show your sword.

Well, even if D'Antoni doesn't shine, no one dares to ignore the Knicks. For Knicks fans, this month is a dream, and it should be said to be the most dreamy month in team history.

The team remained undefeated, breaking the best start record, ranking second in team history with 17 consecutive wins, and occupying the first place in the league, 4 games ahead of the second-place Cavaliers.

Zuo Li has repeatedly broken records, dominated the statistical charts, and occupied the first position in the MVP list. All of this is simply too dreamy, and it directly makes Knicks fans who are used to living a hard life scream in disbelief.

ESPN and other domestic and foreign media opened special reports on the Knicks on the night of the last game day of this month, focusing on analyzing why the Knicks suddenly have such terrifying fighting power.

For a while, people couldn't see through the Knicks. You said that after the trade this summer, the Knicks' lineup is average.

Yes, everyone knows that the Knicks were the finals team last season and even forced the Lakers to Game 7, but the situation last season was special.

glutinous rice

The Cavaliers lost early, the Celtics also lacked key players, and even the Magic were without Nelson, so many people think it was good luck for the Knicks to reach the Finals.

Of course, there are also powerful players like Zuo Li and Randolph in the team, so this summer, many people recommended that the Knicks bring in another giant, so that they can definitely compete with strong teams such as the Lakers and Celtics.

It's time to break up your arms.

But what's the result?

The Magic brought in Carter, one of the top four shooting guards, the Celtics brought in Rasheed Wallace, one of the Pistons' top five, the Lakers brought in the villain Artest, and the Cavaliers brought in Shaquille O'Neal...

The Knicks... brought in three rookies like Curry, Danny Green, and Beverley, as well as role players like Gabellinelli and Anderson, and cleared out a few veterans...

Ah this...

With the Knicks like this, how do people think he can win the championship?

However, the Knicks have defeated the Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers, and Magic, the four most popular teams to win the championship, at home and away games. When encountering a strong one, they become stronger and when encountering a weak one, they become stronger. It simply subverted people's three views.

.

This is very worthy of analysis.

ESPN believes that the Knicks' strength lies in the evolution of Zuo Li: "Zuo Li is stronger, his free throws are more accurate, so he has no obvious weaknesses, and his better shooting makes him a greater threat. It will never be possible to defend him alone, because he will always have

The method is misplaced, and his statistics are even more terrifying, with a true shooting rate of 79%, which is really unexplainable."

TNT believes that the strength of the Knicks lies in the strength of everyone: "The Knicks have no useless people and no drinking fountains in the strict sense. Everyone can play on the court, and the scraps you think are all performing well. This allows them to have a thicker pool than ordinary teams."

A lot of depth, which is key in a long season."

On CCTV, Su Qun talked about tactics, believing that the Knicks' tactics are very rich and very suitable: "D'Antoni is a master tactician, and his training of the team's offense is undoubtedly successful. The Knicks' offense is smooth and fast.

Excellent offensive and counterattack, strong ability to seize opportunities, but the improvement of defense is the biggest reason for the Knicks' success."

"The Knicks defend very well. Their offense is based on defense, and Zuo Li is a key figure. His defense allows the Knicks to rotate very well. He ranks first in the league in counterattacks, rebounds, and blocks.

, this is the secret to the Knicks' undefeated streak."

…

In any case, the Knicks are completely popular, and their undefeated streak in a single month has firmly placed them at the top of the championship prediction list.

As the center of the topic, Zuo Li naturally saw everyone's analysis. Regarding this, Zuo Li just wanted to say that these are all correct, but not entirely. According to Zuo Li, the biggest reason for the Knicks' success is their philosophy, which is an advanced basketball philosophy.

Let the Knicks not stick to the old rules. The so-called basketball must be played from the inside. This is not important to the Knicks. The most important thing is to realize everyone's potential.

Of course, Zuo Li naturally knows that the current Knicks are not invincible, but the league's teams are not adapted to their style of play, and their team is in great shape, so they continue to win, and the future will not be smooth sailing.

But Zuo Li is always ready to meet the challenge.
