Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

How should I put it? When they saw Zuo Li's name appearing on the list of participants for the three-point contest, all the insiders in the league fell silent.

You obviously promised to skip class, but you secretly signed up for class...

A year ago, everyone was a fighter in the penalty area. How come just one year later, you can participate in something as cool as the three-point contest? Is this what big men should do?

Dirk Nowitzki expressed dissatisfaction, "He is a big man who is good at long-range shots!"

However, it is very regrettable that as the well-deserved host of Dallas, Dirk did not participate in the three-point contest. Zuo Li's opponents in this event are: Cook, the role player of the last championship Heat, Nuggets backcourt Billups, Kyle

Special player Paul Pierce, Suns big pitcher Channing Frye, and fellow big pitcher Gallinelli.

The Curry in Zuo Li's memory was not able to participate in this three-point contest. It is a pity that Curry missed this opportunity probably because Zuo Li changed history and allowed Curry to be on the same team with him.

But it doesn’t matter. Zuo Li remembers that Curry’s performance in the first three-point contest was average and was not remembered by others. Zuo Li believed that sooner or later, he and Curry would have to show off on the three-point contest stage.

However, the time is not yet ripe.

Well, from the list, we can also see that the competition of this three-point contest is average. Zuo Li feels that if he performs normally, he still has a chance to enter the finals. Then it will just depend on luck.

Of course, the outside world still thinks that Zuo Li is here to play soy sauce. After all, Zuo Li is the only pure fifth position on the list and his playing style does not rely heavily on three-pointers. Although there is no dispute about his selection, he can average 2.2 three-pointers per game.

Zuo Li scored points, and his shooting rate reached 40%. He stood out among the big men, and he was also a player at the top of the pyramid in the league.

However, it may be a stereotype. Most people still think that Zuo Li is suitable for breaking through the opponent's defense and then wreaking havoc on the basket. This kind of coquettish shooting is just a seasoning.

However, maybe after this three-point contest, everyone will change this impression.

In addition to the three-point contest, Zuo Li also took the time to look at his opponents in the other two individual events.

In addition to him, the defending champion, the skills competition also includes Kidd, Nash, Wade, Deron and Baron Davis...

How should I put it, when he saw this list, he felt desperate and excited at the same time.

It can only be said that the official is really good at playing. This is clearly a championship battle that gathers all the champions since the beginning of the skills competition!

Kidd in 2003, Baron Davis in 2004, Nash in 2005, Wade, the double champion in 2006-07, Deron in 2008, and Zuo Li in 2009.

6 people and 7 championships. This time we will decide who is the champion among champions. No wonder this skills competition has become the most watched individual event. The champion buff is indeed the most awesome.

Zuo Li is also looking forward to playing against the champions. As for who will win the final championship, it would be great if he doesn’t leave any regrets. Being able to participate at such a level is a worthwhile trip.

As for the slam dunk contest, the opponents were mediocre. Nate Robinson, DeRozan, Gerald Wallace, and Shannon Brown really couldn't arouse Zuo Li's interest. He just glanced at it and passed by. I won this slam dunk champion, Zuo Li.

I don't think anyone has any objections.

Then came the Rookie Challenge. In fact, Zuo Li was also very embarrassed. After all, with his current level, it would be a bit of a bully to compete in the Rookie Challenge.

Regardless of the fact that there are many future stars in the first grade: Curry of the Knicks, Danny Green, Beverley, Evans of the Kings, Gibson of the Bulls, Jennings of the Bucks, Flynn of the Timberwolves, Thunder

Team's Harden, Spurs center Blair.

But the second grade is obviously more mature and the lineup is more reasonable, with Zuo Li, Marc Gasol, Lopez, Love, Beasley, Rose, Mayo, Westbrook, and Eric Gordon.

When this lineup faced the 2009 newcomers, I can only say that they beat the kids hard, brothers.

The rookie game was lackluster, but the lineup for the main game attracted enough attention. As early as ten days ago, the NBA announced the list of substitute players for the Eastern and Western Conferences.

West: Billups, Paul, Roy, Deron, Durant, Nowitzki, Gasol, Parker.

Because Randolph was still with the Knicks, Parker took his place.

And the East: Howard, Randolph, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Rondo, Bosh, Horford, Rose.

With the addition of ten starters, the stars are as bright as those in 2005.

Moreover, the selection of newcomers such as Durant, Roy, and Rose, the return of veterans such as Nash and Billups, and the selection of mainstays such as Kobe and James, make this year's All-Stars extraordinarily different.

"Inheritance and development!"

Tencent Sports hit the nail on the head and summed up the biggest feature of this All-Star...

"I really want to go see it... I'd better hurry up and grab a ticket for this All-Star Game." David Lee expressed envy.

"Don't worry, maybe you can participate." Zuo Li comforted him like a spoiler after seeing it.

"Don't make trouble, boss. Although my statistics are decent, averaging 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, after all, I am not the core. Two of us have been selected, so it is very difficult..." David Lee knew very well.

, this data comes to me as soon as I open my mouth, and when I see it, I search myself frequently.

Zuo Li didn't say much, because he knew that the alliance would have a headache soon.

…

On February 6, the Knicks, who lost to the Cavaliers for a day of adjustment, easily defeated the Kings, a double-header in the season. Evans did well in this game, scoring 25 points. Unfortunately, he was unable to survive alone. Five Knicks scored in double figures and won the game.

Easy.

Zuo Li continued to paddle, finishing with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists. At this time, people also discovered that Zuo Li had intentionally reduced his playing time and number of shots. In the last two games, he averaged only 11 shots per game, which was more than half less.

However, the biggest news in the league today was not on the court, but off the court, because on this day, the two most shining stars of the 96 golden generation in the East and West, Kobe and Iverson, who also belong to the four major points, announced at the same time that they would withdraw from this All-Star Game.

the match of.

Kobe has missed two regular season games due to ankle and finger injuries. Playing games with finger guards for a long time has not alleviated the injury. For the sake of the playoffs, Kobe decided not to play in the All-Star Weekend.

As for Iverson, it is because of his family. His youngest daughter suddenly fell ill some time ago. He has left the team to take care of his daughter wholeheartedly and will also withdraw from this All-Star Game.

As soon as the news came out, the fans kept wailing. If they had known that Kobe and Iverson were two of the most popular stars, and they also occupied the starting position, this retreat would undoubtedly make the All-Stars eclipse by three points.

The league made emergency adjustments. Kobe's All-Star position was taken by Kidd, and Iverson's replacement was the Knicks' No. 3 player, David Lee!

"omg..." When he heard the news, David Lee's mouth was as big as an egg. He didn't expect that he would actually have the opportunity to substitute for the All-Star!!!

And Zuo Li was not surprised. There are really too few All-Stars in the Eastern Conference, and not many can make a difference. As the third scorer of the Knicks, who currently ranks first in the fault league, it is natural for David Lee to be selected for the All-Stars.

things that should be done.

After all, the Knicks are also guaranteed box office!

However, the bruises in the league were not over yet. One day later, the core of the Hornets Paul was suspended due to injury and announced his absence from the All-Star Game. The Blazers' Roy was also unable to appear due to injury...

The four major All-Stars announced their withdrawal from the game within two days, which directly confused the All-Star officials.
