The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The announcement of the best player and best rookie in the East and West in the first month of this year is earlier than in the past. The news that usually has to wait until around the 3rd will be announced on the day it just entered December. veil.

It seems that NBA officials are more anxious than those waiting players.

Bearing the brunt is naturally the best player of the month, not to mention the West, the Lakers boss Kobe who is the No.

In the East, after Zuo Li led the team to defeat the Warriors and got a double-double again, the suspense finally fell.

Zuo Li beat James and won the title of best player in the first month of his career.

James' fans are still a little dissatisfied, but in addition to the slightly better team record of the Cavaliers, whether it is personal data or performance, Zuo Li has slightly suppressed James.

Moreover, Zuo Li has scored double-doubles in 15 consecutive games, 4 games more than James, so there is nothing to criticize about his performance.

Maybe it was because of the fear that the James fans would not accept it. The NBA officially announced the vote. Among the 22 votes, Zuo Li received 16 votes. It cannot be said that he won a complete victory.

The Zhanhuang fans had no choice but to give up, and made an appointment to fight again next month.

As for the best rookie of the month, that is the least suspenseful thing. I have never heard that the person who won the best player of the month can't get the best rookie of the month.

Of course, before Zuo Li, no one could win these two honors at the same time.

So it's no wonder that Sports Illustrated gave Zuo Li the cover of the first issue in December alone. In the picture, Zuo Li, wearing a size zero, is in high spirits, and the honors and records broken next to him are shining brightly.

This is the second time for Zuo Li to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and it is also the first time for himself alone. You must know that apart from Zuo Li, only Kobe and James can appear on the cover alone this season. The only rookie.

Since the first week of the game, Zuo Li has never lost the title of Best Rookie of the Week, so needless to say, Zuo Li deserves the title of Best Rookie of the Month in the Eastern Conference.

It's just a pity for Derrick Rose. As the second place in the list, although Rose is far less dazzling than Zuo Li, he has indeed played a value. In the first month, he averaged 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds. Rookie second.

But who made him in the East, so the best rookie in the West belongs to Mayo, who averaged 17.5 points and 2.4 assists per game.

But no one thinks that Mayo is better than Rose. Although Mayo's score is indeed higher, other statistics are completely crushed by Rose, and the Grizzlies' record is still a mess.

And what makes Rose sigh is that he also has a good leadership ability. Although he was overshadowed by Zuo Li and the Knicks, Chicago seems to be waiting from the bottom of last season to the seventh in the Eastern Conference. Another one for them.

This also makes many people unable to say anything because of that deal. After all, the player swap that shocked the league on draft night, it seems that Zuo Li is better now, but it will take time to determine how big the gap between the two is. prove.

Many people have begun to compare the two to Jordan and Olajuwon in 86, and many Bulls fans can temporarily forget the regret of missing Zuo Li because of Rose's performance.

After all, you can't say that the Rockets shouldn't choose Olajuwon with the No. [-] pick because of Jordan's achievements.

And if they do it all over again, the Rockets may not necessarily change their choice. Of course, the second Blazers should change.

When people were discussing 86, few people could remember that the Blazers originally had the opportunity to change their own destiny.

Poor Trail Blazers, in its not-too-short team-building history, I don’t know how many opportunities to rise because of its own choice.

But at least one time, maybe no matter how many times they will not give up their choice, that is 2007.

No. [-] pick, Oden.

On December 12, the Knicks finally ushered in their first opponent in December, the Portland Trail Blazers, at home after three full days of rest.

This game is not a battle of Tianwangshan. The Blazers are now only ranked 7th in the West, barely occupying a place in the playoffs.

However, this game is the most watched game of this round, not even one of them.

Because Oden, who was off for an entire season due to injury last season, returned at the end of last month. Oden will start this game, and he will directly talk to Zuo Li.

Oden VS Zuo Li.

This internal confrontation spanning high school, college, and a full 5 years is finally going to be staged for the first time in the NBA!

For the national live broadcast arrangement, Tencent even moved the studio to the scene. Ke Fan and Ma Jian partnered to warm up for the game from the night before.

The NBA's publicity was earlier. In December, except for the fact that Zuo Li beat James to win the best of the month in the Eastern Conference, almost all the news pages gave this "future center" duel.

Even from the moment Oden came back, the names of Zuo Li and Oden were inevitably linked together.

Oden, who was one year older than Zuo Li, was great before he entered the NBA. I have already said it before, so I won’t mention it. He and Zuo Li are both players who completed the honor slam in high school, and they are the same as James. Three players who can win all kinds of honors in the third year of high school.

Although Oden lost in the NCAA finals as a freshman, it did not affect his pick. After all, the one-handed defeat of Noah and Horford in the finals really explained everything.

It's just a pity that Oden has been questioned for a whole year due to injury when he entered the league. However, Oden's performance in these few comeback games is still very good. His 11 points and 11 rebounds against the Lakers' inside twin towers also made his The future is infinitely optimistic.

Facing Zuo Li this time, people are more willing to believe that this will be a contest between the two people who have the best chance to dominate the league's inside line in the future.

So that night, Madison was star-studded~

The Trail Blazers youth team arrived as scheduled, and the pre-match training attracted a lot of media attention. In a hidden corner, Zuo Li crossed his arms and watched the field quietly.

"This is Oden. He was really scary back then." Little Ewing came over and said with a sigh, if anyone in the new generation of the league can pose a threat to Zuo Li in the future, in his heart, only Oden Bar.

"Yes, this is Auden." Zuo Li looked at Auden with nostalgia in his eyes.

After all, Oden is the only star who has an intersection with Zuo Li in his previous life.

When Zuo Li was still in China, he once watched Oden's game. That year, BK played against JS.

Strong wind and great cold.

Zuo Li bought a seat in the center of the stand for 40 yuan.

Oden, dragging a broken leg, strolled around the foreign aid center who was defending against BK. He couldn't even touch the basket in seven rounds of strong play, and he almost controlled all the rebounds in the front and back courts.

But due to a leg injury, Oden had to end after playing for a while.

Zuo Li thought at the time, if Oden hadn’t suffered a serious injury, this achievement would be incredible. He would be in the Hall of Fame at the worst. Well, maybe even Oden’s position would be topped. At that time, Durant won the MVP award. Alright, four scoring champions, Horford and Noah are both All-Stars.

What about Auden?

But he can only leave sadly in the CBA.

After the game, Zuo Li talked with Oden and made an appointment to see you on the field.

However, in the end, Zuo Li failed to meet him on the court. When he played JS, Oden had already left China.

In the year when his left Achilles tendon was injured in his previous life, Oden retired. He was only 28 years old that year.

"Sakuragi said, my most glorious moment is now." Zuo Li said to himself.

"What? What ikebana?" Little Ewing was puzzled.

"Fuck the future, what I want is the present." Zuo Li didn't answer, but turned around and strode away.

Life is full of ups and downs, how can we not grasp the present!
