The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The buzzer-beater failed, and Madison Square Garden found it difficult to accept it.

But they soon got over the sadness of the loss and applauded the Knicks.

"Although the buzzer-beater failed, thanks to the team's struggle and not giving up, they can walk out of the arena with their heads held high."

The commentator's words were recognized by the majority of fans. Although they lost, the Knicks showed their resilience and strength. From falling behind by 14 points to almost making a comeback, it's hard to ask them to do better. After all, they only have seven players in the rotation. , and even one person was sent off in the end.

The Knicks teammates also got over their disappointment. It was hard to lose the buzzer-beating game, but after all, this was just a regular season game, and the opponent was still a Western Conference team. If they lost, they would lose, so they quickly stood up and cheered together for a whole day. Late fans bowed out.

However, when they wanted to find the team boss, they encountered the same problem as Kobe, that is... Zuo Li could not be found.

D'Antoni didn't even see Zuo Li leave, but the assistant coach informed him later.

At this time, the Knicks felt a little uncomfortable, because they could ignore the opinions of the outside world, but they could not ignore Zuo Li's feelings.

Curry, who was wearing a suit, wanted to go to the locker room to find Zuo Li, but was held back by D'Antoni.

"coach?"

"Forget it Stephen, let him be alone and quiet. He must be feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment."

"Hey, Boss, he must be disappointed with us, after all, he has worked so hard." Curry said disappointedly. This was the first time that Zuo Li left the court alone without saying a word or saying hello to anyone.

Zuo Li is not Lao Zhan. No matter he wins or loses over the years, he will always be with his teammates.

"Don't think too much, he might just be a little uncomfortable." D'Antoni patted Curry on the shoulder.

He felt that he could understand Zuo Li's mood. After all, when he played alone for 48 minutes, he took 29 shots and hit 17 goals, including 7 three-pointers. He also repeatedly broke through to create damage and hit all free throws, scoring 59 points and 20 When you have 7 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assists and [-] steal but still cannot lead the team to victory, your mentality must fluctuate.

D'Antoni knows that Zuo Li's mood has always been stable and he doesn't pay much attention to data, but it is undeniable that Zuo Li has an extremely strong competitive mentality. Such a person is extremely eager to win and will give everything for victory. It's normal to not be able to accept it.

In addition, the final winning goal was not scored...

Although D'Antoni didn't think it was a buzzer beater at all, Zuo Li didn't need to feel sad about it.

However, D'Antoni still thoughtfully asked the players not to disturb Zuo Li, gave Zuo Li enough space, and refused the league's request for Zuo Li to participate in post-game interviews and press conferences.

In fact, there was no way to participate. Zuo Li returned to the locker room and drove home without even taking a shower. When they returned to the locker room, Zuo Li was nowhere to be seen.

But this time D'Antoni's guess was wrong. Zuo Li didn't have any thoughts about the failure at all, because it was too late. He wanted to go home quickly now to see what his attributes had become!

……

Two hours later, Zuo Li, dressed in training clothes, appeared in his private gym. Zuo Li couldn't wait and ran in without even turning on the lights. He stood on the court and his heart sank. Then, he saw the scene he had always dreamed of. …

"Finally, finally!!!"

"100!!!"

"My three points are full!!!"

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!" The excited Zuo Li shouted to the sky in the stadium, his voice lasting. Afterwards, Zuo Li even had the urge to cry.

How long, how long!

From the time he traveled back in time and reconnected with basketball until today, he has been chasing the ability to shoot three-pointers.

For three-pointers, it can be said that he has been training day and night, from adjusting his shooting rhythm to finding his most suitable hand type, to looking for three-pointers to train and learn from one after another, and then to shooting three-pointers again and again on the field. try……

It can be said that Zuo Li gave everything he could for the three points.

The data doesn't lie. His attributes have been improved from being mediocre at the beginning to being at the top of the league. He has also become one of the most accurate three-pointers in history. The three three-point contest championships are just a footnote to all this. On the court The performance is the real experience.

It stands to reason that he is already one of the best three-pointers in the league. Combined with his inside skills, it stands to reason that he should be satisfied.

But there is no limit to what you can do. Zuo Li knows that he is not invincible in this area. He still has his own shortcomings, so working hard to get from 99 to 100 is the right way.

For this reason, he continued to work hard to come back, but three years later, he still couldn't shake it. This "1" seemed to be a natural chasm standing in front of him.

He had given up at one point, feeling that he might not be able to do it in this life, because he had thought of all the ways he could think of, including Ray Allen, Curry, Clay, Reggie Miller and even Big Bird... all of them He has exchanged and practiced with the best shooting players in the world, and he really can't think of any other way to improve.

Unexpectedly, unintentionally planted willows and willows will create shade, and another village will be covered with flowers and trees!

He originally thought it was an ordinary regular season game, but he didn't expect that it would become an opportunity for him to break through!

"Had I known this, should I have failed to score the winning shot earlier..."

After calming down, Zuo Li withdrew from his thoughts and said mockingly.

My own kill rate is very high, probably over 80%. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a liability?

But Zuo Li also knew that the real reason should not be this. Thinking about this game and the previous dozen games, Zuo Li believed that it had something to do with the progress of the game.

To say there is any difference between these ten games and the previous ones, his performance is the second best. The most important thing is the intensity of the game. Compared with the full team, Zuo Li gave his all in almost every game of these ten games, and even more in many games. Being cornered.

"Reborn from the ashes in desperate situations, tempering yourself in adversity, and never abandoning or giving up at any time. Is this the purpose of the system..."

Zuo Li touched his chin, feeling that his guess was almost accurate.

For a long time in the past, the Knicks were too smooth, which made Zuo Li addicted to clocking in. It wasn't that he didn't go all out, but that no one could force him to this point.

But things are different now. The absence of his teammates and the low momentum make Zuo Li have to carry the team on his shoulders.

"Is this the legendary blessing in disguise?"

Zuo Li smiled. Although he had achieved a breakthrough, he still felt that if his teammates needed to be injured in exchange, he would rather not do it.

Isn't it good to lie down?

Not like now, so tired and losing in the end...

However, Zuo Li vaguely understood that if he faced the same situation this time, he would be more confident.
