Basketball's most talented forward is on the left
Chapter 600 The chosen person, the regular season is over!
Determining the league championship many rounds in advance allowed Zuo Li's reputation to reach a new height after the All-Stars.
Although the regular season championship is generally not included in important personal honors, being able to lead the team to win the regular season championship can certainly prove the player's own strength.
What's more, Zuo Li is only a second-year player, but he still serves as an absolute core, leading the Knicks who were at the bottom of the league two years ago. There is no doubt about the gold content of this regular season championship.
"Gorilla" Ewing did not hesitate to praise him when he was interviewed: "Zuo Li has surpassed me. It only took him one year to bring the team to the finals, and it took only two years for him to lead the team to the finals."
He has won the regular season championship, and it is such a valuable championship. His achievements are no less than mine. What I have more than him is scoring, something that takes time to accumulate. But looking at the efficiency, maybe in three or four years he will be completely
Leaving me behind, what he wants to do is not compare with people in the history of the Knicks, he wants to compare with people like Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."
Ewing spoke very highly of Zuo Li. The implication is that Zuo Li is already the number one player in the history of the Knicks.
These words have even been recognized by many people, such as Dream Olajuwon, who believes that Zuo Li's leadership is obviously better than Ewing's.
"I defeated them back then. This time, even I am not sure. After all, there is no Ewing on the other side."
Of course, Zuo Li regarded this as a feud between old friends. It is estimated that everyone knows the story between Olajuwon and Ewing. From high school to college to the league, the two have been fighting for a lifetime.
In this regard, Zuo Li felt that Ewing was too much to praise. At least before leading the team to win the championship, Zuo Li would not mention the matter of being the first player in team history. After all, no matter how good the regular season record is or how gorgeous the statistics are, he cannot give
The core of a team that brings championships is never a fully qualified core.
Why was James so criticized when he left Cleveland? In addition to joining the league, the biggest reason was that he broke his promise. He said every day that he was a child of Akron and wanted to bring a championship to his hometown. As a result, he was beaten several times.
Seeing that they couldn't beat them, they got up and ran away. Can Cavaliers fans not collapse? They are all rational fans who burned their jerseys.
Later, the fundamental reason for the change in reputation was that he returned to the Cavaliers and eventually brought a championship. This allowed James to be re-accepted by his hometown fans, and the reputation gradually improved with the efforts of the public relations team.
Of course, what Zuo Li didn't know was that Lao Zhan left again later...
So in the final analysis, nothing matters. The championship is the most important. Without a championship, other honors will be nothing but a mirror, and may even become a tool for others to ridicule you.
For example, Stockton ranks first in assists and steals. In the eyes of later generations, he was just lucky enough to meet Malone. His name is never considered in the discussion of the best point guard.
It is so true. Otherwise, if the Jazz could defeat the Bulls in the finals, end the Bulls dynasty, and Stockton win the championship, even if he only wins one, he will never be where he is today.
If you have good personal data and have many personal honors and win a championship, you are a hero; if you have good personal data and have many personal honors but cannot win a championship, then you can only be a cancer.
Zuo Li has always believed in this.
So while Zuo Li thanked Ewing for his recognition, he also said that he was still far from there.
"Ewing has done a lot of work. He has made great achievements in New York. I still need to learn a lot from him. At least for now, I have not thought about the issue of being No. 1 in team history."
"About the future? I just want to focus on the present. Maybe we can discuss how not to win 67 games." Zuo Li brought up the old story and solved the problem cleverly.
High emotional intelligence!
Many people feel that Zuo Li used the smartest way to protect the face of Ewing and other famous players, and at the same time, he also allowed people to refocus their attention on the game.
Of course, the scumbags thought they had found a black spot. They all commented that Zuo Li was not worthy of being the best in the history of the Knicks. Some even compared the great centers of various teams with Zuo Li.
Zuoli fans sneered at this, saying that summer insects cannot be compared to ice, and arguing with sunspots will only lower their IQ.
For example, when the Knicks themselves discuss the number one player in team history, what does it have to do with centers from other teams? He is just awesome and has nothing to do with the Knicks.
Of course, except for the one who said that Zuo Li was not as good as Oakley...he had already been sold out and ran away.
…
Now let’s talk about 67 wins.
After winning 65 games, the Knicks have completely entered the rhythm of the playoffs. The information of the Bobcats, Bulls, and Raptors teams has been placed in front of each player. These three teams are the Knicks' first playoff team.
A potential opponent.
This may also be the last suspense of the Eastern Conference regular season. Who can get the last ticket to the playoffs? The other seven tickets have been determined, and the only remaining thing is the final ranking.
The other one is naturally how many wins the Knicks can win, because in the last four games they have to play against the Heat, Magic, Wizards and Cavaliers, it is generally believed that the Knicks are guaranteed to win. This is not to say that the Knicks are not good, it mainly depends on
The Knicks' attitude recently is that they no longer care about the regular season.
Sure enough, the Knicks rested many of their main players, causing them to lose to the Heat and Magic, and then defeated the Wizards and won 66 games.
In these three games, the left winger averaged only 27 minutes of playing time, averaging 28 points and 10 rebounds per game. Due to the busy month, his average data has dropped to 31.8 points, 15.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.8 steals per game.
However, due to the huge early advantage, no one can shake Zuo Li's position in scoring, rebounding and blocking shots.
Zuo Li was still very satisfied with the situation at this time. This was simply a perfect script. In the last game against the Cavaliers, who had already won 60 games, Zuo Li was ready to fight. He could not only rest, but also read the Cavaliers' status and tactics.
It can also show weakness to the enemy, so why not do it.
"Guys, stop playing and don't take it too seriously," Zuo Li said in the locker room before the game started.
"Okay!" The brothers understood that they had already won 66 games. It didn't matter if they had one more game or one less game. Moreover, since the playoffs were about to start, recharging their energy was the right way to go. After all, the playoffs were their real battlefield.
.
But Zuo Li didn't expect that the knight thought the same way!
They rested the Sharks and the newly returned Big Z. Jamison only played one quarter. James played three quarters, but he had no desire to score for a long time. He only had 15 points in the game.
In the end, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers 88-78, and the season's wins were finally settled at 67 wins and 15 losses, creating the best record in team history and the fifth-best regular season record in NBA history.
The moment the whistle blew, Zuo Liren was numb. Looking at James' cheerful face, he didn't know that the Cavaliers were also doing this, but they were more ruthless than the Knicks.
"Could this be the chosen one?" Zuo Li raised his head and put his hands on his hips. Maybe this was his destiny.
After all, the Knicks have not escaped the fate of 67 wins, so what will happen to them in the playoffs?
Is it going to skyrocket, or is it just adding to the jokes?
