Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Although you may not be able to stand Payton's trash talk, you have to admit that not everyone has the opportunity to be trained by Payton.

For these little guys who didn't make it into the league, Glove Payton was a legendary figure. When he and Jordan were trash-talking each other, most of these guys were only a few years old.

So of course they don't understand the meaning of the nickname "Glove" in the NBA.

Fortunately, they understood it quickly. Payton, who was specially invited to teach one-on-one defense, gave them a hellish pleasure.

The trash talk alone almost makes them spit out...

But this is definitely worth the money, at least Zuo Li thinks so. These people are certainly not hired for nothing, not to mention Ewing and Olajuwon, this is for him to further consolidate his inside skills, and Hardaway and Payton

, one offense and one defense, Zuo Li found the right coach to enhance his strength.

I won’t go into details about Payton. He was the first point guard to become the best defensive player. He was a top-50 star and even Kobe Bryant asked him for advice on defense. Zuo Li felt it was necessary to learn from such a person.

As for Hardaway, although the outside world thinks that he is an overrated player, at his peak, "Penny" was really awesome.

He has a great style of play, top talent, and the best crossover ability in the league. At his peak, he definitely had the top strength in the league on the offensive end. Moreover, after retiring, Hardaway also slowly transformed into a coach. With such a good opportunity, Zuo Li

Of course I won't let it go.

As for Oakley, oh ho ho, the outside world thinks that Zuo Li has a bad relationship with him, but that's all appearances. In fact, as a famous New York star, how can he have any dislike for Zuo Li? It's just a way of survival.

So the two have long since buried the hatchet, and Oakley is now firmly on the left.

And although compared with those four, Oakley's career is not that brilliant, averaging 9.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, which is only average, but his unique abilities are not possessed by others.

Oakley's style of play is tough and fierce. In his view, his own inside line must not give up any inch of ground, while the opponent's inside line must fight for every inch of ground. Oakley's capital for executing this creed of the game is his strong physique, flying up and down.

elbows and constant little movements.

Dayao's evaluation of him was: "He fights more than he plays ball."

It's very pertinent.

Of course, Zuo Li invited him here not to promote black elbows and fighting in the NBA, but to let everyone know about those dirty moves.

As the saying goes, I can use it, but I can't avoid it.

The 15 days of training went by in a flash. At the end of the training camp, everyone felt their improvement.

Especially Anthony Davis, who is now being trained by Oakley and always wants to give others an elbow. In the future, no one will probably say that his game is soft.

Curry has made great progress. Although his defense is still limited by his physical fitness, his position selection is much better.

Payton's favorite is undoubtedly Beverley. This guy has completely found his own fun. In the new season, everyone will have the opportunity to see a more ferocious "mad dog".

In short, this summer's training camp was a complete success. On August 16, Curry set off to join the US team, while Zuo Li continued to train in New York.

Taking some time, Zuo Li also watched this year's Men's Basketball World Championships.

Before the start of this World Championship, the young American team was looked down upon by the outside world. In addition, the World Championship and the American team have always been incompatible. The last time the United States won the World Championship was the Dream Team in 1994. Now

It has been 16 years since they won the championship, so the American team is not even the favorite to win.

However, it is a pity that the strength of American basketball lies in its abundance of talents. Even though the players are young, their fighting ability is quite impressive.

Especially Durant, his ability is simply a bug on the world stage. Like Melo, his unsolvable shooting makes the way for the US team to win easier.

It has to be said that this is the year that Durant officially rises.

It can be seen from the World Championships that Durant is the ultimate weapon of the Dream Nine team. When the game fell into a stalemate, Durant used his super scoring ability to fight against the opponent's entire team. In the game against Lithuania

He scored 17 points in the first quarter, 4 points more than the opponent team. In the final against Turkey, he scored 20 points in the half. The US team scored 6 three-pointers in the half. Durant

One person hit 5...

With this kind of performance, coupled with the physical defense of these young people, the American team won the World Championships for the first time in 16 years.

Durant won the MVP, and the outside world said that next season will be the year for Durant to show his strength.

In addition to Durant, Curry also performed very well, averaging 8.8 points per game, third on the team, and averaging 1.5 three-pointers per game, second on the team. Although second-year Stephen Curry is not as amazing as Durant,

But he also completed his task well.

On the night of September 12, Zuo Li received the championship photo from Curry. In the photo, Curry was smiling very happily while biting the gold medal.

After winning the championship and then winning the gold medal at the World Championships, Curry's first year can be considered very complete.

Of course, the Chinese fans were a little bitter. After losing Dayao, they finally qualified from the group through hard work and finally finished 16th.

Fans lamented that it would be great if Yao was here, but Zuo Li knew that this was China's best record in recent years, and the pain of the Yao-less period was about to begin.

After watching the game, Zuo Li also started gearing up. The Knicks had actually begun to gather slowly on September 4th. They only had to wait for Curry to come back to complete the team. As the World Championship ended, the Knicks officially started the season.

Assembly call!

…

On September 14, Curry returned to the team, and the Knicks' new season lineup was officially assembled.

Zuo Li welcomed Battier on behalf of the team, while D'Antoni announced that his vacation was over and the team had officially entered preparations for the new season.

The first thing is of course a physical examination.

Although he had experienced Zuo Li's explosive physical fitness countless times, the doctor was still shocked by Zuo Li's body. According to the data, Zuo Li was simply a humanoid tyrannosaurus.

In the afternoon, after the physical test came out, the Knicks players were also severely beaten by Zuoli.

Ranked first in the team in jumping, except for the three defenders, he is the fastest on the left side and has unparalleled strength. He can bench press 45 100 kilograms, which is just like playing.

Randolph: "So how does he get to be so tall and run so fast?"

The newcomer Battier has obviously never seen anything like this. In his mind, Dayao is already the strongest he has ever seen. However, compared with Zuo Li, Dayao is actually at a disadvantage except for weight.

Shane muttered to himself: "This is incredible..."

Curry is the calmest, and he has gotten used to it over the years.

Curry is another surprise. His speed remains the same, but his weight has increased a lot, a full 5 kilograms. At the same time, his muscle content has also increased, which means that this year's muscle gain

The effect is very good, and it also means that Curry will have stronger confrontation in the new season, which is very important for a ball-holding shooter.
