The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The 2014 All-Star Game came to an end in people's awe.

Whether it's Zuo Zhan's 50+ points to win the MVP trophy, Zuo Li's astonishing 17 three-pointers in a single game, or Zuo Li's record-breaking full-point three-point championship, they are destined to leave a mark in the history of the All-Stars. Pen.

The record-breaking ratings also made the league and New Orleans a lot of money.

The only regret may be that there was not much interaction between Zuo Li and Jordan. The two simply hugged after the game and did not even take a photo. This disappointed the media who had been looking forward to it for a long time.

But for the players, the All-Star Game is just a tune-up, and the next game is the focus.

After the All-Star Game, it is time for all teams to put their full strength into action. Each team has also completed its transactions for this season and begun the final sprint for the playoffs.

On February 2, the NBA resumed its war, and the Knicks also ushered in an away game against the Grizzlies.

The Knicks still have eight players in this game. Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, Lou Williams, and Steve Nash are naturally exempt.

According to their respective return schedules, if the Knicks want to play with all their main players, they will most likely have to wait until the playoffs start.

However, the Knicks generals have already been mentally prepared. They no longer aim to be No. 1 in the league. Besides reaching the playoffs, now they just want to play with peace of mind, reduce injuries, and win as much as they can.

With this mentality and sufficient rest time during the All-Star Weekend, the Knicks won this victory on the road!

The Memphis Grizzlies are not Wu Xia Amon, the Black and White Bears plus Stoudemire, Tony Allen plus Conley, this lineup is very strong, especially defensively, they are currently in the league that surpasses the Knicks, Spurs and other teams. Defense comes first, allowing only 90.8 points per game.

But tonight, the Grizzlies allowed the Knicks to score a high of 118 points. Although Randolph performed well against his old team, he could not withstand the Knicks' offensive power.

The main thing is Zuo Li!

In this game, Zuo Li fully demonstrated his majesty as the four-time winner of the Three-Point Contest. When the Grizzlies tightened the inside line, he smartly stretched out from the three-point line and helped the team open up the situation with 14 of 10 three-pointers. .

45 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

The outside world has expressed that Zuoli's field has expanded again.

"Sooner or later, the three-point record belongs to him. When I was still in New York, he did not have such accurate three-pointers. He has evolved again. Now, he is a stronger left-back. I know that the Knicks are still injured. I am in trouble due to illness, but I believe it will pass sooner or later." Randolph, who had 28 points and 10 rebounds in this game, was full of praise for Zuo Li and gave the Knicks his blessing.

Although he lost, Randolph didn't feel much. Losing to the Knicks should be the most acceptable thing for him.

He is also looking forward to meeting the Knicks in the Finals one day!

As for the three-point record he mentioned, no one takes it seriously. Zuo Li also had a record of breaking 10 three-pointers in a single game in the previous seasons. His three-pointers are indeed good, but Zuo Li is an insider after all. Three-pointers are the only means of scoring for players, so it is still a bit difficult to break the three-point record.

The reporters' thoughts were confirmed in the Knicks' back-to-back games against the Hornets on the night of the 20th. Zuo Li scored 47 points, 24 rebounds and 8 blocks in the game, beating the Hornets inside with one hand. However, most of his points in this game came from Only two three-pointers were taken in the penalty area and at the free throw line.

However, reporters got it wrong. Zuo Li does not use three-pointers as his only means of scoring, but three-pointers are already the most stable means in his arsenal.

On the 22nd and 23rd, the Knicks once again played the Hawks and Magic back-to-back.

In these two games, Zuo Li showed off his three-pointers, hitting an astonishing 11 and 12 respectively, once again setting the previous single-game record.

Especially in the game against the Hawks, when the whole team was in poor condition, couldn't hit the paint after being pressed hard, couldn't hit the ball when breaking through, and couldn't get free throws from the opponent's home buzzer, Zuo Li shot by himself. Led the Knicks to a narrow victory 108-104.

In this game, Zuo Li also suppressed Korver on three-pointers - this is the most overlooked three-pointer. His career three-point shooting rate reached an astonishing 42.8%. He even hit a 53.6% three-point shooting rate in one season.

But today, the winner is Zuo Li.

After the game, Korver also talked about Zuo Li's three-point ability. He believed that Zuo Li's current three-point ability can be ranked among the best in history: "Yes, he is very good. I even think he may be better than most three-pointers." The shooting shooter is much better. His ability is so strong that he has almost no shortcomings. He can complete the shot from anywhere and from any angle, and he is very confident. This is amazing. "

Zuo Li said that he was very useful and wanted to bring Korver to the Knicks.

This is not false. Zuo Li really has this idea. Although Korver is nothing special in the history of three-pointers, he is definitely a reliable three-pointer. As long as he is given enough space, he can do better.

Think about Curry, Klay, and Korver being on the same team...

This picture is too beautiful to imagine.

On the 25th, another big name became a left-field player, and that was Nowitzki. The Knicks defeated the visiting Mavericks 104-97 that day, and Zuo Li once again made 9 three-pointers, almost becoming the first choice. The first man in history to hit more than 10 three-pointers in three consecutive games, and it was Zuo Li's three-pointer at the last moment that dashed the Mavericks' hopes of chasing points.

So Dirk called Zuo Li after the game: "The strongest three-point center in history."

This name...

how to say.

No big problem.

But it's definitely a bit awkward.

After all, the association between center and three-pointer has only been a few years, and there are only a few who can shoot it, let alone one who can shoot it well, so the title of Zuo Li is really...

It’s not difficult at all!

However, this also shows that Zuo Li is unprecedented. A center like him is unprecedented.

A wave of four consecutive victories.

Although the Knicks did not regain the top spot in the Eastern Conference, they gradually stabilized their second place.

This may be the benefit of the Eastern Conference. Compared with the top two Heat, the Knicks, the Pacers, the Bulls, and the Hawks cannot be so stable.

But the happiest thing was the Heat. On the 28th, they defeated the Knicks for the second time this season in the last game of February, defeating their opponent twice in the regular season for the first time in six years.

Although the most outstanding player in this game was Zuo Li, with 41 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 blocks in a single game, almost a quadruple-double, and his 8 three-pointers were still accurate!

However, the Heat's Big Three scored 74 points together and the Knicks ultimately lost.

The Heat are excited, and this time, they seem to have real hope for the playoffs.

Lao Zhan is extremely lucky now. He is lucky that he did not leave the team during the offseason, otherwise he would not have been able to wait until the Knicks were in chaos.
