The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

For Stern, pushing Zuo Li is a very lucrative thing. First of all, Zuo Li is strong enough. As a rookie, Zuo Li has surpassed most people in history. In comparison, Zuo Li is not inferior.

Oh no, it's hard to say, after all, Zuo Li's rookie season is not halfway through now, so it's not easy to jump to conclusions, but with Zuo Li's achievements, even if he retires now, Zuo Li can be regarded as a leader in the league. The brightest of the flashing meteors.

Coupled with Zuo Li's good habits and good image, it is completely in line with Stern's image of a perfect NBA idol.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zuo Li is the flag of New York.

As we all know, Stern has not been greedy for this huge cake in New York for a day or two. It can also be seen from the number of participation in the Christmas game that the Knicks, who are obviously not the strongest in the league, participated the most, which is enough to show how much support they have received.

However, the Knicks generally stand out that the mud can't support the wall, and the time of being bad is far longer than the time of rising, and it is not even proportional. This also makes the Knicks not very attractive in New York.

It's not that New Yorkers don't like basketball. Basketball has a very wide audience in New York. It's hard to find a city in the world that can match the basketball atmosphere in New York. The only thing they don't like is the Knicks.

But all this has changed qualitatively this season!

The appearance of Zuo Li rekindled hope for the Knicks, and revived the city that was originally passionate about basketball.

How could Stern not add a fire!

So Stern, the president of the league, quietly asked his assistant to give Dolan a little hint that he must keep Zuo Li in New York.

But he was really worried. After all, Dolan had a great reputation...everyone who knew about it said it was bad, so he was really worried, so a little hint was still needed.

But in fact, he doesn't need to come forward himself. At their level, a little hint is enough. After all, no one is a fool.

Tsk, Stern thinks it's too early to say Dolan...

But Dolan still understood, and then sneered.

"This old guy thinks I'm a fool." Dolan hung up the phone in disdain.

Don't tell me, he really guessed right...

"How can it be possible to let Zuo Li go, I won't change it for a hundred million!"

This is also true, Dolan really does not lack [-] million, and managing the Knicks brought him far more than [-] million, more than a billion.

"But this old boy has a good eye, hehe, it seems that I also need to speed up my pace." Dolan touched his chin, showed a wise look, and then picked up the phone: "Hey, I asked you to order the Lamborghini that day. What's the matter, hurry up, emergency, what? Another five months? Five days! Just five days! If I don't know how to turn around, I'll go to Ferrari, believe it or not..."

...

Zuo Li, who has just arrived in the Denver plateau, doesn't know that his team owner is holding back to give him a surprise.

And Stern over there also had a toothache looking at the match table.

For him, hold the left and stand, because this melon keeps sweet.

But the 'melon' may not necessarily.

On December 12, the Knicks played an away game against the Nuggets. This was also the second away game of the Knicks' three-game streak in the West, and it was also the most difficult one.

'Little Melon' Anthony will also be Zuo Li's next opponent.

For Anthony, Stern loves and hates him, and of course he loves his strength.

Melon was still very sweet during this period. As the core of the Nuggets, he showed his strong scoring ability early on. Leading the team to the playoffs in his rookie season was something that even his good buddy James could not do.

Although it has been a round trip for several consecutive seasons, Anthony ushered in the biggest turning point in his career this season.

In the 0809 season, the team boldly took over from the Pistons and traded Iverson for Billups. The Golden Guns officially disintegrated, but the team was officially on track.

Billups, who is always underestimated, can be called the best partner in Anthony's career. After letting him come, the Nuggets successfully slowed down, changing from a strong offensive and weak defensive team to a strong offensive and defensive team. Anthony also changed from the original The main attack with the ball has become the main attack without the ball. Although some innocuous statistics have been sacrificed, the whole team has been activated, and the team's season average loss has been reduced by seven points.

This also allowed them to jump from eighth in the Western Conference last season to the current third in the Western Conference, second only to the Lakers and Spurs.

Although Billups has brought about a qualitative change, Anthony also contributed a lot in it. After all, his personal firepower is the biggest magic weapon for the Nuggets to win.

Such strength will naturally be valued by the alliance.

However, unlike James, the good boy next door, Anthony is definitely a guy who is unwilling to be lonely. Anthony, who was born on the street and lives in the most chaotic area of ​​Baltimore, has always been entangled with gangs.

Just in April and June of 2008, he was arrested twice for traffic driving problems.

He is also an absolute ruthless player on the court. The famous brawl in Madison in 06 made him also suspended for 15 games.

So for Anthony, Stern really can't easily define it. This may be the reason why Anthony has not been highly praised. After all, society is a real society.

The four subjects are also proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

But for Nuggets fans, strength is enough.

For Anthony, this season is the most comfortable season he has ever had. Everything is developing in a good direction, making it difficult for him not to have further ambitions.

It just so happened that they had just lost to the Lakers on the road in the last game, and they naturally hoped to win a victory when they returned home.

However, Anthony still has a good impression of Zuo Li. After all, both are New Yorkers, they are all people who came out of the slums, and they all have some connections with gangs. It's like blushing for the identity of the team boss.

When Zuo Li was in high school, Anthony commented on Zuo Li's game many times. Although this is the first time the two have played against each other, it is true that they have been friends for a long time.

So before the start of the game, Anthony went up to say hello to Zuo Li.

Zuo Li didn't have any ill feeling towards Anthony. Zuo Li had seen a lot of guys like this in Harlem over the years. Although he was not a good citizen, he was loyal, and Zuo Li also liked dealing with this kind of guy who was not hypocritical.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Ty Lawson next door shivered with delight. If he had known that Zuo Li was so familiar with Social Gua, he wouldn't have danced like this.

But it's a pity that Zuo Li doesn't care about Ty Lawson anymore. After all, the grievances have almost been resolved, and it's really meaningless to abuse food unilaterally.

What Zuo Li cares more about is obviously Billups, the master of the Nuggets.
