Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Don't treat them like a young team, if you do you will pay the price."

"The Bulls are a standard young team. Rose, Noah and others have the energy and impact of young people, but lack experience. After trading Ben Gordon, they lost a guy who can stand up at critical moments.

So this season their strength is worse than last season."

"The Knicks are not. In fact, they are younger than the Bulls. Originally, they should have the same problems as teams like the Bulls and Thunder, such as instability, but Zuo Li is young and mature. He is too mature. It is said that he has not yet

He is 21 years old, but he seems to be a seasoned veteran on the court. He knows what to do when and how to make his teammates better, which gives the Knicks' young people a backbone."

"In the future, the New York Knicks have a chance to dominate the league!"

After the game against the Bulls, this year's ESPN commentator Mark Jackson publicly said on the show.

If you ask who Mark Jackson is, he is now one of the ESPN courtside commentators, partnering with Van Gundy Jr., an old acquaintance of Chinese fans.

At the same time, he is also a former NBA player. The peak of his career was with the New York Knicks. He is also considered one of the Knicks' celebrities. He entered the NBA in 1987 and was selected as an All-Star two years later. In 1997, he also won the assists title.

He, "Magic" Johnson, Stockton, Kidd, and Steve Nash are the five players in the NBA who have assisted 10,000 times so far. He currently ranks third in the assists list.

Of course, his achievements as a player stopped here. Even if he became an ESPN commentator, he would not be remembered by fans for a long time. This is the fate of ordinary players, not to hype, not to curse, and not to create program effects.

, players whose careers are not that bright will one day be forgotten.

Zuo Li, who is familiar with history, remembers him most deeply in the next 11 years. He will replace the retired Nelson as the head coach of the Warriors and will be fired in 2014.

Zuo Li prefers to call him the founder of the Warriors' future rise. Zuo Li has always believed that Mark Jackson's work was crucial for the Warriors to suddenly break out in 2015 and finally win the championship unbelievably.

Curry, Thompson and Green were all entrusted with important responsibilities when he was in office. In 2012, trading Monta Ellis to the Bucks for Bogut was a miracle, because Curry was finally corrected.

And according to what Curry revealed in a later show, the Warriors originally wanted to trade him because his ankle injuries repeatedly made the Warriors doubtful, but Mark Jackson chose to protect Curry, which allowed Curry to stay.

Down.

Think about it, if Curry is traded to the Bucks... and meets Antetokounmpo in two years, wow, this picture is so beautiful.

And his help to Curry doesn't stop there. It was his constant encouragement and trust that allowed Curry to improve rapidly after 12 years. After being fired in 2014, Curry also publicly refuted the Warriors owner's criticism of Mark Jackson.

Therefore, without Mark Jackson's correct operation, there will be no future success for the Warriors. Although Cole is a vested interest in the Warriors' performance, Mark Jackson is the creator of all this. Don't forget that without Cole, Wolves will lead the team.

Dun can also lead the Warriors to a continuous winning streak.

Now that our strength is here, it really doesn’t matter who the coach is.

So Zuo Li still agrees with what Mark Jackson said. He is indeed a future coach and has a good vision.

Even Zuo Li feels that this summer, it seems that the coaching staff can be further improved...

However, the outside world scoffed at Mark Jackson's remarks. It is undeniable that the Knicks are very strong, but it is still too early to talk about dominance.

Pippen said coolly: "Beating the current Bulls is nothing. As for domination, he should break out of this year's Eastern Conference first."

Mark Jackson did not comment on this, but soon Pippen knew how wrong he was...

…

On February 18, the Knicks, who defeated the Bulls to complete their third kill of the season, continued to sit at home and ushered in the first back-to-back game after the All-Star Game. The opponent in the game was the only powerful team in the Western Conference that they had not yet encountered, the Spurs.

Until now, Zuo Li finally met the Spurs led by Popovich... I have to say that the league is very understanding. It knew that the Spurs liked to swim before the All-Stars, so they directly let the Knicks and the Spurs play.

What a genius.

Both sides of this game are back-to-back, and the Spurs are even back-to-back home and away. The schedule is more difficult than the Knicks, so both sides are equal in this regard.

Before the game, Popovich said in an interview that the Spurs were here to learn from his experience, and Zuo Li, who knew Popovich's character very well, decided to teach the old man a lesson.

Needless to say, when Popovich was bastardizing him before the game, he must have found a new tactic. For example, he said countless times that O'Neal was too strong, and then he went crazy and hacked sharks. He said that Kobe was very good, so he used Bob.

Wen Bin said that Dirk was very good, so he used Duncan and Bonner to teach the old driver Dirk...

So if he said this, he probably had some thoughts about Zuo Li.

"Don't believe him, he must be holding back to beat us, and he must have come up with something new, so let's just go with the flow and teach the Spurs a lesson!" Zuo Li said to his teammates in the locker room before the game.

As expected!

At the beginning, the Spurs sent a combination of Duncan, Parker, Blair, Jefferson and George Hill.

And it was Duncan who defended the left winger, not Blair or Jefferson at the third position as everyone predicted before the game.

"Coach Bobo actually used Duncan to defend Zuo Li?! This is his cornerstone." Yang Yi explained in a tone full of surprise and disbelief, obviously stunned by the Spurs' tactics.

If I had known that if the two teams met twice last season, the Spurs' tactics would have allowed Duncan to avoid directly facing off against Zuo Li. Those who faced off against Zuo Li were "consumables" like Oberto and Bonner.

But Zuo Li was not surprised at all, because this season was a major turning point in Duncan's Spurs era.

There were three important turning points in Duncan's career with the Spurs, and these three times directly affected all the championships in Duncan's career.

The first time, of course, was when Duncan entered the Spurs, replaced Admiral Robinson as the core, and successfully won the first championship in his career.

The second time was when Robinson retired and the Spurs switched from Duncan's single-core to GDP's three-core. Especially in 2007, Duncan was no longer the first scoring option.

And this third time, undoubtedly this year, after being eliminated from the playoffs in two seasons, the Spurs made the biggest change. At the beginning of the season, Bowen, Finley, Horry, Oberto and other meritorious services

The purge of veterans by the Spurs marks the Spurs' entry into a semi-reconstruction era. Although nominally GDP is still the core of the Spurs, a group of young players such as George Hill are slowly sharing GDP's tactical status.

Zuo Li glanced at Kawhi, who was sitting on the bench with a dull expression. Who would have thought that the Spurs era was not over yet? Who would have thought that the biggest contributor to helping the Spurs win the fifth championship would be this expressionless man?

What about the low-draft pick?
