Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

It is certainly expected that the Knicks can defeat the Timberwolves and win 9 consecutive games. The strength gap between the two teams has been as deep as the Mariana Trench in the past two years.

What is surprising is that the Timberwolves star Kevin Love, the double-double king who has emerged in the past two seasons, has scored double-doubles in eight consecutive games before this. The outside world regards him as the successor of Garnett, the Wolf King.

People, Timberwolves fans regard him as the hope of the Timberwolves' revival. Many people think that he will lead the Timberwolves to regain the strength of the Timberwolves in the early 2000s.

Although the record in these two seasons has not improved much, it is generally believed that the Timberwolves lack a qualified outside line, just like Marbury who was next to the Wolf King. Although Marbury later became a CBA star, it is undeniable that

Marbury did really well with the Timberwolves.

So now all Timberwolves fans are waiting for Rubio. Many people think that Love and Rubio have a chance to become the original Wolf King Gamabri.

However, this game directly cut off Love's double-double, and he was still crushed. This made many fans wonder: Can Love really regain the glory of the Timberwolves?

Of course not!

Zuo Li is not surprised at all that he can beat Love. Love's technical characteristics are too obvious. He is a typical space-based inside line, and his offense is definitely greater than his defense.

Everyone knows about defense, and there is no comparison with the Wolf King.

Garnett, the Wolf King, defended very well during his peak period and was an inside player with his own defensive system.

In terms of all-around, Garnett is also better. Although there are many all-around players in NBA history, if you want your five basic statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks to be ranked in the NBA history,

There is only one person in the top 50 in the entire NBA history, and that is Garnett.

During Garnett's 21-year NBA career, he averaged 17.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. Because Garnett has a long career, coupled with Garnett's own outstanding field performance

Average data performance, so when Garnett finally announced his retirement, his five career data also successfully entered the top 50 in the history list.

The only thing that can be compared is the offense.

Many people think Garnett's offense is not as good as Love's, because Love often scored 30 points during his time with the Timberwolves.

However, why Love did not shine so brightly in the Cavaliers after that is because the way he scored was not what a core inside player should do.

In the past few years in the Timberwolves, Love has mainly used three offensive methods. One is three-pointers, mainly three-pointers after catching the ball after the pick-and-roll and 45-degree three-pointers. The second is attacking with the ball near the free throw line, which is divided into breakthroughs and looking for fouls.

and the probing mid-step shot (basically not scored), and the third is the attack at the basket, mainly the secondary attack on the front rebound and the one-step small floater from the deep position in the penalty area.

There are only so many offensive skills. There are very few turnaround jumpers like Ade's from Love (even at his peak, Love's mid-range shooting percentage is less than 30%). Love is not proficient in the inside footwork at all. Love's three-pointers cause

It gives off the illusion that he is a versatile offensive player.

In his peak season, Love scored 7 points from free throws, 8 points from the basket, 6 points from three-pointers, and 5 points from mid-range shots. He scored more points from mid-range shots than from the inside. He was more like the second in charge of scoring for a team.

He doesn't look like a tough boss who fights hand-to-hand.

At the critical moment, Love couldn't score.

Such a player is definitely a piece of the puzzle for a team to win the championship. It is best to be the second in command, but forget it as the core. Anyway, in Zuo Li's heart, he is like a big David Lee.

As for the left winger, facing an inside line that likes to drift out, he can attack at will, but the defense can make him very uncomfortable. Coupled with the Knicks' increasingly powerful defensive system and very targeted defense, Love's performance is not surprising.

Love himself is very optimistic. After all, this is not the first day he has met Zuo Li, and he also likes Zuo Li's style of play. Although he lost today and his double-double was broken, he still expressed his feelings to Zuo Li after the game.

congratulate.

"As the benchmark among rookies, I have always targeted Zuo Li. He is already one of the best players in the league. It is not surprising that I lost to him." Love said after the game.

And Zuo Li is a little embarrassed. Love doesn't know that this time it's not just eight consecutive double-doubles. Without Zuo Li, he could have achieved 34 consecutive double-doubles this season. Now he is broken by Zuo Li.

I don't know if it will still be available.

But then I thought about it, the double-double record had already been broken by him. In the first season, he had a double-double in the whole season. 33 games was only a little bit good. It would be good to rank in the top five. Zuo Li was relieved.

.

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Knicks still did not face a decent challenge.

On November 15th, the Knicks faced their tenth opponent of the season, the Houston Rockets, away from home.

This game attracted the attention of the whole world, and the league even put up all-round advertising the day before the game.

CCTV broke through the highest ratings of the season as soon as the live broadcast started. According to speculation, more than 200 million people around the world will watch this game.

Because according to the Rockets' official roster, Dayao will make his comeback in this game!

This is Yao's comeback after a season away, and it is also an NBA yellow derby, and it is another dialogue between the super centers from the East and the West.

It is reasonable for everyone to have such a reaction. Everyone wants to see how Dayao recovers at this time and whether he can shake Zuo Li's increasingly stable position as the first center.

But, unfortunately, the truth of the matter will make countless people feel regretful.

"Man, before I decide to retire, I want to fight you again."

In the locker room, Zuo Li was silent as he looked at the text messages on his phone.

Once the No. 1 center in the Western Conference, the No. 1 center in the league in 2009, Super Great Wall, a monument in the history of Chinese sports, Yao... finally reached this point.

It stands to reason that Zuo Li has personally experienced Dayao's retirement. Before the start of this season, Dayao also revealed the news that he was retiring, so his mood should be relatively stable.

But when this thing actually happened in front of him, his mind was still inevitably agitated.

Many people today don't understand what Dayao's departure means. What they once thought was the beginning, never thought it would be a peak that is difficult to reach again.

It won't be long before the Chinese men's basketball team will be reduced to a point where even the Philippines will find it difficult to win.

"Tsk, why are you thinking so much? Don't leave any regrets." Zuo Li shook his head and moved his fingers solemnly.

Respect for your opponent means going all out. Since Dayao wants to leave no regrets, he will not stop.

After all, people on the basketball court can be praised and insulted, but the last thing they need is sympathy.

Sympathy is a sign of weakness.

Dayao certainly didn't want his opponent to give in because of sympathy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game starts.

Before jumping the ball, it could be seen that Dayao was more serious than ever before. He really played this game as the last game.
