Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

The Knicks' roster unsurprisingly aroused admiration from the outside world. Many people couldn't believe that such a young team would win the league championship this season.

Look at the roster, Curry, Beverley, Danny Green are rookies this year, Zuo Li, Dragic, Ewing Jr. is a rookie in 2008, Bellinelli, Wilson, Chandler is a rookie in 2007, David Lee is

2005 Rookie of the Year.

The oldest is Anderson, who was born in 1978 and is just 31 years old this year. Crawford, who was born in 1980, is not yet 30 years old this year. Randolph, who was born in 1981, just celebrated his 29th birthday.

The average age of the entire Knicks is just 24 years old, making them the youngest team among the 16 playoff teams.

It is usually difficult for such a young team to make a difference, but the Knicks counterattacked all the way and accomplished an incredible miracle.

Many fans lamented that this is the real youth storm.

Zuo Li also lamented that the Eastern Conference teams during this period were really not strong enough. I remember that the Celtics in later generations also broke out after drafting Tatum, Brown, Smart and other not-so-dazzling rookies.

I once fought 300 rounds with James of that period.

But considering that the Cavaliers were often beaten by the Warriors when they entered the Finals, and considering that the Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, and Thunder were competing for supremacy in the Western Conference at that time, and the competition was unprecedentedly fierce, you know that the East is really a good place for leveling up.

.

However, leveling is all about leveling, and the Knicks' record and strength this season are still solid.

After Zuo Li's efforts and D'Antoni's transformation, the Knicks now have the most advanced basketball tactics and concepts. Coupled with the puzzle pieces Zuo Li has found, no matter how young they are, they are all full of potential and motivation.

For such a team, I don’t know how those guys knew that they were going to be hacked. The Bobcats were not the Warriors back then. The Knicks had a 3-1 advantage in the regular season. The loss was a small loss, but the three wins were

The average game is a big win, and from top to bottom, the Bobcats have no way to restrain the Knicks.

Especially Zuo Li, relying on their inside line, Zuo Li just wanted to say, I want to fight ten!

…

On the 16th, the Knicks held their final team training. After the training, Zuo Li and O'Mei had dinner. They lived in O'Mei's newly bought apartment, which was far away from the city center, but the size was the same as Zuo Li's free small apartment.

More than five times.

Zuo Li jokingly said that he accidentally fell in love with a rich woman.

"It seems it's time for me to buy a big house." The main reason why I came here is that as more and more things are accumulated, Zuoli's small apartment can no longer hold things, and now many things are temporarily stored here in Omei.

For example, the five All-Star trophies.

No wonder the houses of those NBA superstars are bigger than the other. In addition to enjoying life, it is really important to be able to put things in them.

In fact, Zuo Li originally planned to buy a house last summer. However, after losing the finals, Zuo Li focused on training and had no thoughts on other things, so the house purchase was put on hold until now.

The media once reported that Zuo Li was still living in a small apartment provided by the Knicks. At that time, many people thought that Zuo Li was putting on a show. However, two years later, Zuo Li was really living there, so the criticism turned into praise.

Many media outlets, based on Zuoli's background in the Harlem slums, have said that Zuoli has not forgotten his original intention and is worth learning from.

Zuo Li was also drunk. In fact, Zuo Li just didn't have time.

However, as he established a relationship with Aomei and had more and more things, Zuo Li also made up his mind to solve this problem this year. After all, it was okay to joke, but Zuo Li didn't want to be "kept" by Aomei all the time. Although Aomei

I didn't care, and even wanted to give the house to Zuo Li.

…

number 17!

The playoffs begin!

For the first time since Ewing left, the Knicks have made the playoffs in two consecutive seasons.

Tonight, Madison Square Garden has turned into a sea of ​​orange. Orange is the color of the Knicks' home uniforms this season. The home fans are chanting the names of the team's players in unison!

When Zuo Li came on the stage, the shouts turned into a uniform "mvp!"

Before the game, D'Antoni didn't have too much chicken soup. He didn't need to mobilize to beat the Bobcats. He simply said: "Play normally and bring out all your skills and tactics. If you can't open it or have a problem with your touch, don't ask me. Just find the left winger."

stand."

The Knicks players nodded one after another. This is also the Knicks' confidence this season. Zuo Li is their pillar. With Zuo Li at his back, these rookies dare to perform.

The Bobcats were obviously intimidated by the momentum of the Knicks. Madison was so loud that it felt like the Devils' home court.

Starting lineups for both sides: Knicks: Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Belinelli, Dragic.

Bobcats: Felton, Gerald Wallace, Bell, Diaw and Chandler.

Tonight is also the first time Chandler returns to the starting lineup after 14 games... Due to injuries, he was replaced by veteran Ratliff in most games after the All-Star Game. Although the second Ratliff has the same garbage offense, he is equally good at blocking shots.

These two people also form the Bobcats' inside barrier.

But if you look at the outside world, Rasheed Wallace will know that Larry Brown is the same no matter which team he goes to. Insiders don’t like people with excellent scoring ability. The Pistons like Big Ben, and the 76ers like Uncle Mu. Now

I like Chandler.

Inside defense, outside offense, Allen Iverson of the 76ers, Billups and Hamilton of the Pistons, and now Rasheed Wallace of the Bobcats.

This set is no longer new.

Although it feels very useful, this season the Bobcats' winning rate exceeded 50% for the first time and they entered the playoffs, but it is obvious that these people do not have the ability of the 76ers and Pistons.

And this tactic is quite easy to crack. As long as the inside line can stand, the Bobcats' defense will be useless. Just look at how O'Neal destroyed Uncle Mu in 2001.

And if you are restricted inside, for example, in 2004, Rasheed Wallace teamed up to restrict O'Fay, and Hamilton was able to lock down Kobe, so you can win. On the other hand, with the same lineup, Duncan was not completely restricted.

The Spurs won in the end!

It can be said that Larry Brown's tactics are based on open cards. If you can do it inside, you will win. If you can't, you will lose.

And it just so happens that the Knicks are the team least afraid of focusing on interior defense!

When the ball jumped, Zuo Li smiled slightly, Chandler's whole body went cold, and Zuo Li won the ball.

When he came to the frontcourt and faced Chandler, Zuo Li strode forward, eating Chandler alive and scoring 21.

Made a steady free throw, starting 3-0.

"Zuo Li plays really tough. He doesn't care who is guarding me, he just kills with the ball. Chandler can't keep up at all, his pace is too slow!" said the coach Zhang.

"It's so normal. No one in the league can keep up with Zuo Li's footsteps. You can only use the outside line to keep up. Only by staying in position inside can you have a chance!" Yu Jia said.

Both of their voices were a little wafty because the noise at the scene was really too loud!

When it was the Bobcats' turn, their offense was to give Rasheed Wallace a one-on-one hit. Although Bellinelli couldn't keep up, Wallace was unable to take action due to his height and could only force a breakout, and then...

Snapped!

Blood cap!

Dragic got the ball and went straight to the fast break, scoring another 2 points!

"This offense and defense are so powerful. Who dares to say that the Knicks will be hacked!"
