Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

The Lakers' consecutive defeats have shocked fans all over the world, but at the same time they can't help but feel a little melancholy. Combined with the Celtics who are being beaten by the Knicks next door, maybe this year will be the end of another era for the yellow and green brothers.

From the era of black and white to now, fans of the two teams have finally waited for the restoration of the dynasty for more than 20 years, but just like the era of black and white was ended by Jordan himself, talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and today's league has once again reached a new stage.

When changing generations.

But obviously, there are still some people who don't want the Lakers to be ended so quickly, such as Zuo Li.

Although he has long foreseen the ending of the Lakers' season: he has to admit that although the Lakers have maintained their former championship lineup, age and injuries are indeed the biggest reasons that hinder them from going further. Lao Yu's aging, Artest's knees,

The inability to mention the little Shark, and most importantly, Kobe Bryant's injuries, have become a thorn in the side of the Lakers. It is normal for the Lakers to be defeated by the Mavericks, whose entire team has exploded.

However, in Zuo Li's heart, the Lakers are still capable of fighting. They were not swept in the past. They were swept in the last life. In addition to their strength, the more important thing is their mentality. When a team determined to win three consecutive championships encounters such a tenacious team,

The mentality of their opponents was broken, which seemed to be the fundamental reason for their fragile defeat.

so……

On the night when the Lakers were defeated by the Mavericks, Zuo Li, counting the time, was lying in the bathtub after extra practice and dialed Kobe's phone number:

"Hey, hey, hey? Is this Kobe Bryant? Hey, hey, hey? Is anyone here?"

The voice on the phone gradually became thicker, and Zuo Li seemed to see a tic-tac-toe appear on Kobe's head across the phone line.

Then he roared:

"Are you done yet!!! You were sick in the middle of the night, weren't you? Winning is amazing, isn't it! FUCK!!!"

After a 60-second period of extremely intense sucking...

Zuo Li picked up the phone that was on the table and said, "Hey, hey, hey, why don't you recognize good people's hearts? I saw you losing and wanted to comfort you, but why are you still saying bad words?"

"Bah! You arrogant boy, I don't need comfort! I haven't been eliminated yet!"

"Oh ho ho~ Yeah, that's really great. I remember two months ago, you said you wanted to kick my ass in the finals. I can't wait, but now, maybe someone wants to

I broke my promise."

“FUCK?$&#@￥…”

There was another "greeting", and Kobe's anger could be felt through the screen: "You wait, kid, you'd better make it to the finals. When the time comes, you see how I deal with you!!!"

"Oh hahahaha, then I'll wait, don't let me down..."

"Just wait, I will definitely..."

"Hey Hey hey!!!"

"FUCK!!!"

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone receiver, Kobe, who was originally angry because of losing the game, exploded with anger!

He knew that answering Zuo Li's call in the middle of the night was not a good thing. This guy was really as bad as ever!!!

"Vanessa! I have to practice extra tonight, help me prepare supper!" Kobe slammed the ice pack on his knee to the floor and strode out of the door.

How dare you underestimate me? Let me show you the true strength of Kobe Bryant!

…

"Huh... It's better to go too far than to go too far. That's enough." On the other side, Zuo Li, who was stuck in time and picked up the phone perfectly, stroked his chest.

Fuck it, it’s so exciting!

This is the first time that Zuo Li has stimulated Corvo's emotions. This is the only way he can think of to save the Lakers. As for the fact that it has no effect...he can't say for sure, anyway...probably? Maybe? Maybe...

You won't let the Mavericks pass so easily, right?

Even if he can't, it doesn't matter, Zuo Li just wants to create more trouble for Mavericks so that they can study it more thoroughly.

After all, the Mavericks in 2011 were the biggest upset in NBA history, and the reason for the Mavericks' explosion in the playoffs has always been the focus of discussion.

The most outrageous thing is that in fact, the Mavericks have not encountered any decent resistance all the way, including the Heat. They were directly beaten to pieces by Dirk, who had a fever of 39 degrees. He knelt down after less than 7 games, so Zuo Li also wanted to see the Lakers.

Can you force something out of Mavericks?

After all, Zuo Li doesn't want to capsize in the gutter of the finals.

Well... Zuo Li didn't know, he thought the Mavericks were scary, while everyone else was shocked by the Knicks' strength.

It's okay to sweep the 76ers in the first round. After all, the gap between the top five teams in the Eastern Conference and the teams behind them is really too big. The difference in regular season wins is doubled. With such a gap, it would be strange not to be swept.

But the Celtics struggled to win at the hands of the Knicks, which was terrifying. Moreover, the points difference between the two games was huge, which also made many people in the industry recognize the Knicks again.

Before the G3 game, the latest issue of Sports Illustrated featured the Knicks' three core players, Zuo Li, Curry and Randolph, on the cover, and said: "It's time to re-understand the second regular season record in history.

The team."

But before the fans could finish it, the news the next day made people joke: Zuo Li has booked the cover for next week in advance!

The reason is naturally very simple, that is, on May 6, the offseason, NBA officials finally announced the suspense of the biggest individual award this season, which is the regular season MVP.

This time the NBA also held a press conference in New York specifically for this award.

"Congratulations to Zuo Li! He has won the honor of regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons!"

When David Stern announced the news with a smile at the press conference, he received a standing ovation from all reporters.

The youngest player in history to win the regular season MVP title was born at this moment.

At the same time, Zuo Li also became the ninth player in history to win the regular season MVP after Russell, Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Jordan, Duncan, and Nash.

Amid applause, Zuo Li, who was wearing a dark blue suit but an orange tie representing the Knicks, walked out of the backstage, shook hands with Stern, and took his second regular season MVP trophy from his hand.

.

"Ohhhhhhh~!"

The applause turned into cheers that lasted forever.

Zuo Li walked to the microphone and glanced at the MVP trophy he put aside. He knew that the current achievement was not the end, but it just meant the beginning of the next period of hard work.

Are two consecutive MVPs enough?

of course not!

For many people, winning the MVP title may be the highest honor in a lifetime, but for Zuo Li, it is just a sideshow in his career.

There are still many peaks to climb ahead of him, including Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar...

There are too many names for him to chase, too many records for him to surpass. On the mountain of basketball, he has just stepped out of the novice village.

At Stern's signal, Zuo Li also began his acceptance speech...
