Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Look at how terrible this is."

Zuo Li put down the newspaper, and it was clearly the content of LeBron James' interview after yesterday's game.

Oh, I forgot to introduce it, it is December 23rd New York time, and there are less than two days left before the NBA’s last important event of the year, which is the Christmas Day game.

After the No. 19 winning streak was unexpectedly ended by the Cavaliers and triggered a worldwide discussion, James successfully replaced the losing Knicks and became the most popular news figure in the basketball circle in recent days.

No way, this is really not Zuo Li's fault. Logically speaking, the loss to the Cavaliers has nothing to do with James, but who makes James the biggest villain in the league now?

Those fans who have always been angry can easily turn the flames of war on James and the Heat's Big Three. The topic of ridiculing them on the Internet can write a novel alone.

Zuo Li browsed the Internet whenever he had something to do these two days, and he watched with great interest. From time to time he would sigh: There are still so many talented people online!

Ahem...

James, who was shown off by the Knicks from a distance and then was affected by the situation, was naturally furious. He couldn't go online to criticize the fans, so he could only point the finger at the Knicks and Zuo Li.

In the interview after the game against the Bobcats, James did not mention a word about the game just now, but instead talked about the upcoming Christmas game against the Knicks.

"I have lost twice, and I will not lose again this time. We have done sufficient research. This time, it is time for the world to see the real power of the Heat."

These are normal, but then, James directly fired at Zuo Li: "I know that now everyone thinks Zuo Li is the best player in the Eastern Conference. This makes no sense. I will defeat him directly and let him feel my power."

.I will defeat him fiercely. No matter now or in the future, I am the best. It is my loss not to end the 25-game winning streak, but Zuo Li has no chance to continue winning!"

The whole interview was full of gunpowder, almost pointing at Zuo Li's nose and saying he was in trouble.

And this was the content of the newspaper Zuo Li just read. To be honest, Lao Zhan was capable of harsh words, but not much. Apart from the fact that he was really angry, he didn't feel anything else.

As for whether he is angry or not... Zuo Li doesn't rely on him to gain a foothold in the league. He doesn't care whether he is angry or not. As for who is the best... these fans have the final say on honor and performance, so what's the point of saying it yourself.

So Zuo Li didn't bother to respond.

In fact, James probably had the worst mentality ever after he first arrived in the Heat. He did a lot of weird things throughout the season, and imitating Dirk's cough in the finals was just the most conspicuous one. His various comments on Twitter were also often criticized.

.

There is nothing we can do about it. This is the year that James will be scolded on the street every time he walks on the street. If this continues for a long time, his mentality will indeed collapse.

Have you ever seen James publicly criticize a player before? This time he criticized Zuo Li as a way to vent his anger.

But since James said this, Zuo Li will naturally respond, but forget about the verbal fights, he still likes to resolve disputes on the court.

"Since you want a Christmas war, let's have a Christmas war!" Zuo Li posted on Instagram.

There was no @ anyone, and no one was named, but as soon as they saw this, fans all over the world knew who Zuo Li was responding to.

So, ins exploded!

The basketball hoop exploded!

The popularity of the Christmas war, which has already attracted a lot of attention, has once again increased to a new level.

The alliance is happy, and it has to be you, Zuo Li, you are indeed a superstar with your own traffic!

So, in the New York subway station, there was an additional poster for the Christmas War. It was a poster with only Zuo Li and James, one on the left and one on the right, with fierce eyes.

Online, fans have already called this match a grudge match between the two.

Countless fans began to flock to the official website to buy tickets for the Christmas game, and there was a long queue at the ticket channel at the entrance of Madison Square even in the early morning.

In the early morning of the 24th, the tickets were sold out, and the lowest price was 500, the highest price was 8,800, and the average ticket price was 3,500 US dollars, setting a record for the most expensive ticket in the history of the Christmas War.

And this is just a formal channel...

The Heat also arrived in New York early, and they came with anger and confidence to win.

After losing to the Cavaliers, the Knicks have already begun to accumulate strength for the Christmas game.

On December 23, in the game that just ended, the Knicks faced the Thunder away from home. This was also a focus game.

Durant, Westbrook, Harden...

The Thunder's three youngsters have finally reached a new level after going through a lot of struggles last season.

Durant currently ranks second in the scoring list behind Zuo Li, and he has grown into the best scorer in the league.

And Westbrook finally showed off his explosive talent. To be honest, Westbrook may be the defender in history who has no outstanding skills and can stay in history purely by talent.

Coupled with the sixth man Harden and the interior defensive hero Perkins just acquired from the Celtics, the Thunder's youth army has finally taken shape.

This season is the season for their rise. Historically, they have played in the Western Conference Finals with the Mavericks, and next season, they will advance out of the Western Conference and enter the Finals.

So, this is definitely a powerful opponent.

Unfortunately, the Knicks, who had just had their winning streak ended, were in poor condition. In order to restore their physical fitness and mentality, the Knicks did not go all out to play this game. The three core players Zuo Li, Curry, and Randolph only played

The fight stopped after about 20 minutes.

Zuo Liye did not score a double-double for the first time this season and only scored 14 points and 8 rebounds.

However, the Knicks' bench was still very strong, and they played with the Thunder until the last quarter before losing. The final score was 108-102. The Knicks lost by 6 points and suffered their first two-game losing streak of the season.

However, this did not cause any trouble. Everyone knows that after a winning streak, it is most likely to suffer a losing streak. This has something to do with physical strength, mentality and other factors.

It was just that Westbrook was not satisfied with the game. After the game, he dragged Zuo Li to ask questions and promised to have a good time next time.

As for Adu, he is not very happy. Although he scored a game-high 34 points, he is still a little far away from the position of Zuoli's scoring champion. For him, championship, mvp and so on are still a bit far away. The scoring champion

It can be regarded as the highest honor that can be competed for, but it is a pity that despite his efforts, he still cannot surpass Zuo Li, even though Zuo Li's scoring explosiveness this season seems far less terrifying than last season.

At present, Zuoli's highest score is only 40, which is incomparable with last season's 50 and 60. However, Zuoli's scoring stability is good enough. He has played more than 20 games, and his scores are basically around 30 points.

It cannot affect the overall situation.

Therefore, if Adu wants to surpass Zuo Li, he still needs some efforts.

However, during the Christmas game, Durant at home saw what real explosive scoring power is.
