Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

I’m so angry, but I can’t refute it!

This is the truest feeling of all defenders after watching Zuo Lizai's pre-match interview with the Suns.

"He screamed!"

"But he didn't seem to have anything serious wrong with me."

If anyone else had said that, it is estimated that all defenders in the league would have stood up and drowned him in saliva.

But the person who said this was Zuo Li... so I could only hold my nose and admit it.

There is no way, Zuo Li has this qualification. As the second player in history to defend the skill competition after Wade, and the only center to win the skills competition, Zuo Li's achievements are too great.

He basically stood on the shoulders of top defenders all the way. Last year, in the championship battle, he defeated all the back positions who had won the skill competition championship. He said that he did not participate in order to give more opportunities to the back positions.

That's really why.

Damn it, he tricked me!

In fact, it is not impossible to refute it. You stand up and make a bet with Zuo Li, saying that you will give him some color in the skills competition this time. Zuo Li might fight, and the alliance will never stop it, but... who can

What about standing up?

Super guards like Wade, Nash, Kidd, Deron and Nash have all lost. Are you better than them?

And even if you do this and really lure Zuo Li out, if you win, it's okay. If you lose... then you really can't stay in the alliance anymore.

So for a moment, the defenders collectively lost their voice.

Just pretend that you can't see him, he won't be participating anyway, just keep talking about it.

We can endure it!

However, some of the guys who participated in the slam dunk contest started to get nervous. Zuo Li’s dunks one step outside the free throw line in the previous two competitions were really breathtaking. They are still one of the most popular basketball videos on YouTube. Last year, Zuo Li was in

The cumulative views of the dunk highlights in the dunk contest have exceeded 100 million, which can be said to be extremely exaggerated.

Under such circumstances, if you want to defeat Zuo Li, you really need to be very strong.

But in today's league, who can guarantee that he can surpass Zuo Li in dunks...

Griffin is preparing to make a splash in the slam dunk contest. Is it too late to quit now?

As for the contestants in the three-point contest, they are not afraid. It all depends on luck and on-the-spot performance. Zuo Li's level last year was not particularly dominant, but his opponent was too stretched, so this time, many people hope to defeat Zuo Li.

Stand up and make yourself famous.

Zuo Li actually didn't want to participate in this year's three-point contest. After all, his three-point ability has been stagnant for a long time, and he has not yet found a way to break the game. But after thinking about it, he might be able to learn from his All-Star opponents.

, just like what he did last year, Zuo Licai agreed to the league to continue participating in the three-point contest.

But what Zuo Li didn't know was that this time, he really went to the right place!

…

It will take some time for the All-Stars to come, and people's attention will soon break away from the voting results and the entry list, and continue to invest in the game.

On the night of January 17th, the 40th round of NBA games will also begin.

The Knicks will face the Suns in back-to-back away games. If they win this game, the Knicks will tie the Bulls' best 40-game record in history - 37 wins and 3 losses.

However, after losing to the Trail Blazers before, such a game will no longer burden the Knicks. Regarding this game, the Knicks have only four words: Don't get involved...

Oh no, go all out!

They believe that as long as they play normally, away games and back-to-back games, it won't be a big problem.

The Suns continued to field the same lineup as when the two teams met for the first time in this game. Obviously, Gentry still felt that the Knicks would use running and gunning to deal with the Suns.

After all, D'Antoni returned to Phoenix and defeated the Suns with running and gunning. This simply told everyone that he was still the king of running and gunning after leaving the Suns.

But unfortunately, Gentry guessed wrong.

If the Knicks hadn't lost to the Trail Blazers, tonight might have become another classic offensive battle. But after losing to the Trail Blazers, everyone in the Knicks understood that they couldn't waste time and that obscene development was the way to go.

Not only that, the Knicks also have to play while accumulating energy for the playoffs and tempering their lineup.

So the Knicks deployed a two-guard lineup for this game, with Curry and Beverley on offense and defense, and Battier, Zuo Li and Randolph playing together.

Nash's eyes bulged when he saw Beverley on the court. It really shouldn't be too obvious.

So why not Danny Green but Beverley? This is the first time the "Mad Dog" has entered the starting lineup this season.

That's of course because Nash is too fast, and Danny Green may not be able to keep up with him. Beverley doesn't have this problem, although he won't be able to keep up with Nash. Even this season, Nash's offensive speed is still ridiculous.

, but Beverley can make Nash extremely uncomfortable.

Sure enough, in the first round, after Zuo Li assisted Randolph to score, Nash ran into trouble when advancing.

Beverley was simply hanging on to him, never leaving, making various small moves hovering on the red line for fouls.

This is what Zuo Li has talked about most with Beverley in the past two seasons, which is to control fouls. His biggest problem in the previous life was that he sometimes committed too many fouls, and some fouls were completely unnecessary. They were just a sign of hitting the top.

So in this life, Zuo Li kept telling him to control his temper, control fouls, and learn more from Paul. Don't think others are dirty. They should be dirty in the right place. At least Paul would not be sent off every day.

So Beverley's defensive habits today are much better than in the previous life, but they are still crazy. Although Nash assisted his teammates in scoring this goal, the cost was twice that of a normal round.

And you thought this was the end?

of course not!

On the offensive end, the Knicks kept asking Curry to find Nash. Originally, Nash didn't guard Curry because he knew that Beverley would not attack. Nash was not good at defense. Wouldn't it be good to guard Beverley?

But how can the Knicks let the Suns get what they want? Curry picks and rolls when he gets the ball, and looks for Nash, forcing Nash to defend him.

And Curry is also very honest. He will only play when the defense switch is successful. If not, he will pass the ball. He will never love to fight.

And all three of his single attempts on Nash in the first quarter were successful. Curry scored 8 points in this quarter.

"Stephen Curry can actually use his body to play ball one day." Barkley laughed and shook his head, expressing silence for Nash.

There is no way, although Curry's defense is not very good, but his boxing is afraid of being young. It is difficult for Nash to defend Curry now. Of course, even Nash, who has won two consecutive MVPs at the peak of his peak, is not very good at defense.

With such torture from men and women on both offense and defense, old Nash already wanted to curse in the second quarter.

But there is no way, this is normal, after all, the current Sun Nash is the only true core, guarding him is equal to victory.

110-100, the Knicks won the game without a fight, doubling the Suns in the season.

The Knicks also successfully completed their pursuit of the 1996 Bulls, becoming a team tied for the best 40 games in history with a record of 37-3.

Jordan's pace was once again caught up by Zuo Li.
