Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

At the end of the game, the Knicks won a 20-point victory at home, successfully avenging their previous loss to the Thunder.

The moment the game ended, Zuo Li went straight to the hot news searches in various countries. Originally, the hype before the game was that Zuo Li would fight against the Thunder's three young men, but obviously, Zuo Li stole all the limelight of the game.

The second half of the game was basically a one-man show for Zuo Li. Not only did he score and grab rebounds, he also led his teammates to perform a very exciting defensive performance.

Zuo Li scored 45 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks in the game, with a shooting percentage of 67.8%. This was Zuo Li's 4th consecutive game with more than 40 points.

At the same time, he also maintained the highest defensive efficiency in the game. Perkins and Ibaka combined for only 8 points and 13 rebounds.

As for Thunder...

Durant played a little depressed tonight, oh no, not a little, but quite depressed. He couldn't remember how many nights he had not been as embarrassed as tonight.

Are you saying he doesn't work hard?

No, on the contrary, Durant can be said to have worked very hard tonight. He not only devoted himself to offense, but even took the initiative to assume the heavy responsibility of defense. If I had known that Adu was also an Anthony type before, in order to save physical energy, he would hardly defend seriously.

.

But tonight he can be said to have worked hard. He not only defended his own people, but also went inside to help defend from time to time. Although the effect was indeed average, his attitude was absolutely perfect!

On the offensive end, Durant kept looking for opportunities, but the Knicks' defense was really too tight, which directly led to Adu's worst statistics of the season.

Durant only had 14 shots in total and made only 5 goals, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 2 free throws. He scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, and made 5 turnovers.

With this kind of performance, it's no wonder that Durant ran directly back to the locker room as soon as the game ended.

It’s so uncomfortable…

But even if he ran away, Adu was still criticized by the outside world, thinking that he was the main reason for the Thunder's disastrous defeat tonight.

Adu was very angry, but he couldn't refute it, because it was true just by looking at the data!

The best performer for the Thunder in the game was Westbrook. Westbrook, who scored 10 points in the first quarter, slowed down a bit in the subsequent games, but he also scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. The data was comprehensive, and

A total of 11 of 22 shots were made in the game, with a hit rate of 50%.

Of course, if you look carefully, most of the 11 shots he missed came from the first and last quarters, especially the last quarter. Westbrook threw 4 three-pointers and missed one.

Lowered the overall hit rate.

As a comparison, Adu only took two shots at the critical moment of chasing points...

Durant is not that paranoid, so when he sees that Westbrook has a better chance than him, he will not compete with Westbrook for the right to take action. However, this is the shortcoming of Westbrook, he also

He can score high points, but the price is that he takes far more shots than Durant.

At the same time, Westbrook always takes possession of the ball at the last critical moment, and at critical moments, Westbrook, who likes to take advantage of others, often misses shots. This cannot be reflected by just looking at the post-game scoring data.

On the contrary, Durant's final key ball ability is very strong, and he is not just a joke as he will be the strongest stick player in the league in the future.

But in the Thunder, Durant often failed to get the ball in the end.

Moreover, Westbrook's statistics also come largely from Durant's sacrifice and threat. Taking this game as an example, the Knicks' defensive focus is obviously on Durant, which gives Westbrook so much.

Chance.

but!

With this kind of data, even if Westbrook is cheated at the last moment, you can't blame him, after all, his data is indeed impressive enough.

Moreover, before the injury, Westbrook also had some abilities. Although he was often unreliable, there were indeed times when he was the savior alone, and there was nothing you could say about it.

So Adu could only swallow his depression. No matter in training or in life, he did not discuss this issue with Westbrook.

Tsk, this kind of seed has been planted.

In the future, as Westbrook becomes stronger and more confident, there will be more and more nights when Adu cannot get the ball. It was not until that famous 1-3 overturn that Durant finally couldn't bear it anymore.

.

But in fact, if it were someone else, the result might be completely different. For example, Kobe and O'Neal, they were tough to the end, and they coexisted harmoniously with the Nuggets' golden guns.

And Adu... he just left, he just came out with 1.5, he surrendered to the enemy, and the result was a mess for the Warriors.

Burying dissatisfaction in your heart will never solve the problem.

Therefore, it is said that character determines destiny, and Adu's fate may have been determined very early.

Oh, let’s talk about the third player Harden tonight. This is not his season. He scored 10 points in this game, which is considered to have completed the task. It will take time for him to rise.

However, in this way, the three Thunder players scored 51 points together, which was only 6 points more than Zuo Li alone...

No wonder the media said: Zuo Li defeated the Thunder's third young master by himself!

really!

After all, Zuo Li has an overall advantage in rebounding and blocking, more than the three of them combined.

It’s no wonder that many reporters who didn’t take it too seriously to watch the excitement asked when interviewing the Thunder’s third youngster after the game: “Can you now face the gap between you and Zuo Li, even though you are almost the same age?”

Durant: "..."

Westbrook: "(?????????)"

Harden: “(=ＴェＴ=)”

One word can warm him up all day long.

Next time we meet him, I guess Mr. San will be even crazier.

Zuo Li didn't know it yet, but someone had already caused him a lot of hatred. Now, besides James, the third young master of the Thunder was probably the person who wanted to kill him the most.

But... who cares, after all, there are too many people who want to kill Zuo Li, and they still need to queue up for more than a year or two.

And Zuo Li has already set his sights on the next game, which is also the one that he personally attaches most importance to.

On January 25, the Knicks will face the last strong Texas team, the Dallas Mavericks, in Dallas.

This is the last opponent of the New York Knicks' long journey to the West this month.

There is no doubt that this trip to the Western Conference has achieved unprecedented success. Until now, except for losing to the Trail Blazers, who are sixth in the Western Conference, the Knicks have not lost a single defeat.

The top three teams in the Western Conference, including the Spurs, Lakers, and Thunder, were all defeated by the Knicks.

The Mavericks are the last team in the top four in the Western Conference that has not yet played against the Knicks.

It is the last opponent in the Western Conference and the last opponent in the first four miles of the Western Conference. If the Knicks can successfully win this game, the Knicks will complete the achievement of defeating a total of 15 teams in the top eight in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

Therefore, the Knicks are determined to win this game. Although it is an away game, the Knicks are best at away games!

The outside world's predictions for this game are also completely biased towards the Knicks. Apart from local commentators and celebrities, it can be said that there is no one who supports the Mavericks.

Yes, after experiencing the previous few seasons, would anyone still believe in the Mavericks?!

As for Zuo Li, the biggest BOSS is indeed the last one to appear.
