Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

During lunch, Zuo Li looked at Ross and said with emotion.

It has been three years since the two entered the league together in the draft, and it seems to have been almost ten years since the two first met in high school. It has to be said that time flies by so fast, and Zuo Li has witnessed Rose's whole process.

Growth, this is still very emotional for him as a time traveler. It is the dream of many fans to witness a "rose bloom" because the flowering period of roses is too short.

That's why Zuo Li felt so emotional.

But Ross didn't know that. When he heard Zuo Li's emotion, Ross thought it was Zuo Li's daily ridicule to him.

Speaking of this, Rose can't help but feel a little depressed. In fact, it's not too late for him to mature. Looking at NBA history, he is definitely considered precocious. He can even be said to be at the peak of his debut, leading the team to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.

Is it weak? Isn’t this much better than Love next door?

And Rose has the confidence to lead the team further this season. They have a better coach and better teammates.

But this thing seems to have good results when taken out, but it cannot stand comparison.

Compared with the guy opposite me, my record is simply scumbag. So what if I have made it to the playoffs for two consecutive years? I have made it to the finals for two consecutive seasons, led my team to win the championship in the second year of my career, and won an honorary Grand Slam.

.

You might say that Zuo Li is a hard-working genius, one of those representatives who is more talented than you and works harder than you. If you can't compete with anyone, you have to compete with him.

In fact, I don't have to compare with Rose. After so many years, he still doesn't know Zuo Li's strength. He doesn't want to compare, but who knows that they are rookies in the same class? Others will naturally put them in the same category.

Let’s compare!

Moreover, Rose doesn't want to be a loser all the time. He also has the desire to win the championship. The reason why he can grow so quickly is because of Zuo Li's stimulation. So if there is a chance, Rose also wants to defeat Zuo Li and prove himself.

"Yes, I matured a little late, but you told me, what's your name? Yes! Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal! If you get fat first, you won't be fat!"

"Believe me, I will surprise you this season. You have to be careful. The Bulls are no longer the weaklings they were two seasons ago. Watch out for being eliminated by us!" Rose looked at Zuo Li and said seriously.

"I know, I know, I'll be waiting. When did you learn Chinese? You have some flavor." Zuo Li waved his hand, indicating that Ross was still so serious and boring.

In a trance, he saw the All-Star appearance ceremony in Zuo Li's memory, the story of four funny guys and a teacher.

"Always learning, because you told me, there are a lot of my fans out there, and I want to give back to them." Rose replied.

"Of course, you did a good job. There are indeed many people in China who like you. Who makes you play so vigorously? Oh, look who is pulling the stick again." Zuo Li imitated Rose's classic moves.

Zuo Li is not surprised that Rose is popular. In the past two years, Rose has definitely ranked among the top three in the league in terms of viewing ability. Even Wade at his peak was not as good as him.

His speed is very fast, and his bounce rate is among the best in NBA history. Rose's style of play can be summed up in one sentence, that is, "change direction without slowing down, dunk without hanging on the frame."

However, Zuo Li has always said that the good-looking style of play is good-looking, and the mid-range look is also useful, but dunking without hanging on the frame and landing on one foot will cause a lot of wear and tear on both of his knees.

It's hard to imagine that Rose's peak would end at the age of 22, and later two knee injuries took turns due to problems with his playing style.

Some people may even say: "Ross has a way of winning, and a way of losing."

In Zuo Li's heart, he is a typical player representative who "kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred".

So as a friend and brother, Zuo Li has been reminding Rose and wanting him to change his playing style as soon as possible.

Rose can practice shooting. In Zuo Li's memory, Rose has been changing his style of play and increasing his shooting after his serious injury.

In the season when Zuo Li crossed over, that is, the 2016-17 season, Rose's 2-point field goal percentage was a career-high 48.7%, and his field goal percentage within 3 feet was also a career-high 41.1%.

Compared with many outsiders, it was a bit worse, but he was already injured at that time, and it was no longer the best time to change his style of play. And in the future that Zuo Li didn't know, Rose's shooting percentage was still close to 50%.

Three-pointers are even closer to 42%.

So it's not that he can't practice, he's just used to staying in his comfort zone, or he wants to practice slowly, but he didn't expect the injury to come so quickly.

In short, Rose fell helplessly before reaching his peak.

"Seriously, don't you really think your shooting is terrible? Besides, just breaking through can't be impressive. Besides, your style of play is too easy to get injured," Zuo Li said.

Ross: "..." Even if it's true, isn't it a bit too hurtful for you to be so direct? I don't want to lose face.

Fortunately, Rose is used to it, and compared to his shooting and breakthrough, the coach once mentioned it, but he didn't force him. After all, his breakthrough is really a historical level.

"I know, I have been practicing, maybe three or five years? Maybe I will participate in the three-point contest by then." Rose shrugged and finally made a joke.

"Besides, now it's all about the inside, so it doesn't matter if you can't shoot three-pointers."

Three to five years...

It doesn't matter...

Zuo Li was helpless. As expected, everyone is the same. He will not look back until he hits the south wall, and he will not give up until he sees the Yellow River.

Zuo Li simply stopped persuading him. Just like when he advised Dayao to lose weight, it would be really difficult to change things if they don't happen.

But Zuo Li also has other ideas. Since he doesn't like three-pointers, let him see the power of three-pointers with his own eyes!

…

At six o'clock in the evening, the game between the Knicks and the Bulls officially started.

The two teams started the same as in the previous game, and the Knicks put Belinelli back into the starting lineup.

The Bulls used Boozer to defend the left winger.

Chinese fans cheered Zuo Li one after another, hoping that Zuo Li would show some color to the Yao killer whom the black guys call him.

To be honest, Zuo Li has never been afraid of Boozer. When he played against Yao, he only used pick-and-roll mismatches. He couldn't defend against Yao. He could solve the problem in an hour.

But Zuo Li was faster and taller than him when he followed him. His mid-range was destined to be unable to exert its full power. On the contrary, how could he defend Zuo Li?

Moreover, tonight Zuo Li made up his mind to expand his attack range, just as he said to his teammates before the game: "Today, I will kill them hard!"

On the first ball, after a successful jump ball, the Knicks did not rush inside because Thibodeau is very good at building inside defense.

And for this game, Thibodeau formulated an excellent defensive strategy. Zuo Li must be double-teamed inside, and go around to prevent Zuo Li from receiving the ball, cutting off the connection between Zuo Li and others.

Thibodeau is confident that he can restrain Zuo Li, who has no solution.

However, if the left vertical line goes in and then pulls out, the pick-and-roll is a mid-range shot.

Whoosh!

The basketball swooped into the frame.

2-0.

"Watch Derrick Rose, I will only perform once!"
