Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Li's words attracted all the players, and they all stood up and gathered around. Zuo Li also continued: "I know that everyone is sad about Stephen. I am the same."

"Curry is an important member of our team. He is also our good brother and good friend. His absence is to better appear on the court in the playoffs and fight for our ultimate goal, the championship."

"So don't worry, we are waiting for him to return healthy."

"but…"

Zuo Li's tone became solemn and his eyes became firm: "Maybe you think we will give up the regular season. I believe that maybe Shane Battier, Randolph... you veterans understand that maybe, in the eyes of many people, this is our best

After all, without Curry, we may still be strong, but if we want to break through 72 wins or even 70 wins, it will be very difficult under regular rotation."

Battier and Randolph nodded upon hearing this. As veterans of the alliance, they have long been accustomed to making tactical trade-offs.

"But, I think you have underestimated yourself, underestimated me, and underestimated our combat effectiveness!"

"Of course there will be losses due to Curry's absence, but we are the defending champions and we have infinite fighting capacity. I can't guarantee that we will definitely catch up with the Bulls, but I can guarantee that I will not give up easily and I will try my best to play well."

Every game!”

"Give up? It doesn't exist. There is no word "give up" in my dictionary."

Zuo Li's voice sounded particularly loud in the locker room. After he finished speaking, you could hear leaves falling in the locker room.

D'Antoni was the first to applaud, and then the applause and cheers gathered into the audience.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"

Danny Green: "Boss, that's well said! I won't give up either!"

Randolph: "How can this happen to me, Zach? Don't forget, we are the strongest in the league!"

Shane Battier: "Although it's a bit unreasonable, it's too burning. I'm here just to help everyone go further. Of course I can't watch."

…

The locker room was on fire. If Rivers saw it, he would definitely give Zuo Li the title of contemporary chicken soup master. By the way, he would pay the tuition and ask Zuo Li how he made the "chicken soup" so delicious.

And Zuo Li knew very well why, because he was not just talking with words, nor was he sincere, but because he really wanted to prove it with actual actions.

The Knicks players' trust in Zuo Li comes from the fact that Zuo Li has fulfilled most of what he said, so they will naturally believe what Zuo Li says, so Zuo Li's chicken soup is genuine.

It's different from just talking.

Looking at the excited crowd, D'Antoni came to Zuo Li and said, "It seems you are right."

"Hey, coach, I am a player, so I naturally know what players want most. Money and championship, these two are the ultimate goals of 99% of basketball players. Of course, apart from this, 100% of basketball players cannot

Those who refuse will leave their names in history. Who doesn’t want to have their name engraved in the NBA’s record book, including me.” Zuo Li said.

"Hahahaha, actually including me, that guy Mayfair, I don't know how many people are jealous. In addition to his record, they are also jealous that he can meet Michael Jordan, Shaq, and Kobe, who is most like Michael, although many people mock him.

I achieved today's achievements by hugging the thighs of super giants, but unfortunately, who doesn't want to hug such thighs." D'Antoni sighed: "But in the future, maybe I will also become the guy who is envied.

After all, I am so lucky to have you on the team."

"Hahahaha, I can't compare with those three now, but maybe we can try to create a new era." Zuo Li smiled: "Let's start from now on."

…

On April 4, the 67-9 Knicks officially kicked off their first game in April at the Cavaliers' home court in Cleveland.

Before the game, NBA officials had just announced the Eastern and Western Players of the Month for last month, with Kobe Bryant of the Lakers and Rose of the Bulls being elected respectively.

This is also the first time that Kobe and Rose have been elected as the best of the month this season, and it is also the first time that Rose has won the best of the month in his career. Due to the fluctuation of the team's record, Zuo Li regrets missing out on the fifth best of the month in the season, and also missed the NBA

The first monthly best season Grand Slam in history.

Before the game, CCTV commentator Su Qun said regretfully: "If it hadn't been for the sudden injury, perhaps today would have been the most important moment for the Knicks and Zuo Li."

Yes, judging from Zuo Li's data, he averaged 28.8 points, 15.5 rebounds, 6 blocks and 5 assists per month. Although this data is a little worse than Zuo Li's unsolved February, it is still better than Rose's 26.4 points and 7.5 assists. It's just a ball.

The team's record has fluctuated too much. However, under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls performed well with 13 wins and 3 losses in a single month and firmly ranked second in the Eastern Conference. They even widened the gap with the Knicks and currently have 57 wins. The gap is huge.

Now the Bulls are only three games away from 60 wins and glory, so there is nothing wrong with giving it to Rose.

What is even more regrettable is the team. After all, many people predicted that the Knicks would have a chance to win 70 games in April.

Hearing what Su Qun said, Yu Jia also sighed: "It can only be said that basketball is like this. Many teams cannot escape the impact of injuries. Now, I just hope that Curry can return normally and not affect the playoffs."

.”

They have also assumed that the Knicks will let go of the following games. After all, they have already won 67 games at this time, and they have won at least 67 games in two consecutive seasons. In NBA history, there are only two seasons of 95-96 and 96-97.

The Bulls did better than the Knicks.

As for continuing to win, unless they win 73 games in a row, or if they win 70 games, it still means something. The rest is of little significance, so many people think the Knicks should start taking a break to gain strength for the playoffs.

However, there is no change in the Knicks' starting lineup, with Dragic still replacing Curry.

But this doesn't mean anything. The rotation can start at any time. For example, Popovich doesn't like to change the starting lineup during the rotation. Instead, he lets Duncan play for ten minutes and then rest. The league also has no way to fine him, which led to many people imitating it later.

.

But as the game progressed, fans and commentators gradually realized something was wrong, because Zuo Li played 10 minutes in the first quarter, 8 minutes in the second quarter, and in the third quarter, the Cavaliers were chasing points the hardest.

, Zuo Li even filled it up directly!

After the game, Zuo Li played 41 minutes and scored 44 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks. In the most critical second half, Zuo Li scored 29 points. Repeated scoring at critical moments also shattered the Cavaliers' dream of victory.

Led the Knicks to a difficult 102-97 victory over the Cavaliers despite their opponents scoring 12 three-pointers, and achieved their 68th victory of the season!

After the game, while reporters congratulated the Knicks on successfully creating the best record in team history, they also specifically asked Zuo Li why he played for so long tonight.

"We saw that Randolph only played 21 minutes tonight, Dragic played 27 minutes, and Battier only played 20 minutes. Only you and Bellinelli played more than 40 minutes in the starting lineup. This is your tactical arrangement.

What?"

"That's right. After all, the playoffs are about to begin, and it's time to gather strength." Zuo Li nodded.

"But why did you let you play for so long?" The reporter asked many people's questions. If Zuo Li takes a rest, shouldn't he take a rest?

But Zuo Li's answer was: "Huh? Why should I rest? In addition to the playoffs, we also have things to do now!"
