The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

What NBA stars are most afraid of is not retirement, injury, but forgetting.

Many people don't want to be forgotten by the fans after retiring, because forgetting means that he has no means of living.

You must know that the salaries of NBA players in the past were not as high as they are now. In addition, when they were athletes, they were extravagant, raised a lot of children, and there were various divorces, illegitimate children. There are countless bankrupt stars.

Historical superstars such as Magician, Bird Bird, Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are okay. The glory of their player era is too dazzling, leaving behind various records and famous scenes. It is hard to forget, but some ordinary All-Stars It's different.

They belong to the same level of players. They played well in the player era and were very popular. However, due to various reasons, they cannot reach the height of players like Jordan and Magic. When they retire, they will find out that although they are hired , but used to the extravagant life and the temperature of the spotlight, it is difficult to integrate into the lives of ordinary people.

At this time, being in the NBA circle is the best retirement life, but if you are forgotten, it is a pity that you will not be able to stay in this circle.

The simplest example, the Bucks had an excellent leader before Reed in 00, and he also averaged 20+6 per game. His name is Wen Baker. Can anyone still remember him?

Even Reid, how many people will remember it in the future?

The NBA is so cruel, why do more and more so-called celebrities in the future keep talking nonsense in front of the media, and even take the initiative to create conflicts? To put it bluntly, they want to reappear in front of the public and be remembered.

Therefore, Michael Jordan's remarks on Zuo Li are already the biggest compliment for most players.

Of course, for Zuo Li, who aspires to a bigger and broader future, simply being remembered doesn't deserve much joy. After all, he can't be forgotten just because of last season.

So as Jordan's biggest black fan, Barkley secretly said that Michael felt threatened.

The fans laughed happily, but after a few years, they will probably think seriously: Barkley is right!

……

Zuo Li’s 40+ games in a row still stayed at 15 games. On February 2th, the Knicks ushered in the third game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Was taken away by a wave of 4-18, and finally 5-108, lost 84 points, and the winning streak was ended.

Zuo Li had 18 points and 8 rebounds in the game. Not only was his 40+ consecutive games terminated, but the number of consecutive double-doubles at the start of the game is also explained here.

Of course, Zuo Li was not surprised by such a performance. He had played 15 games in a row before, and the time span was more than a month. Not only he personally, but also the rest of the team had reached their limit. After the end of the game, he did not seek to continue to expand his record, nor did he pay attention to the crazy clamor of the Cavaliers' home fans.

"It's time to rest and rest. We need to look further afield." After the game, Zuo Li's words can be regarded as the final conclusion of this continuous 40+ career in full swing.

The outside world generally expressed their understanding. After all, Zuo Li's record is already brilliant enough. Even Chamberlain has surpassed it. It is estimated that there will be no opponents in the next few decades, so let others hope to surpass it.

Of course, the fans of the Cavaliers and Lao Zhan are proud. James played well this time, with 33 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Therefore, some Lao Zhan fans said that Zuo Li was lucky. was terminated.

Zuo Li will not pay any attention to such remarks, after all, if you add "if" to something, it will immediately change its taste. This word is only suitable for people who like to entertain themselves to amuse themselves.

But just one day later, the Cavaliers fans couldn't laugh anymore, because the NBA officially announced the best player in the East and West in January, and has won the 1th consecutive title. 11 blocks and 12 steals, leading the team to a proud record of 42.8 wins and 15.8 loss in a single month, undisputedly the best of the month in the Eastern Conference for three consecutive months.

And the poor old Zhan, despite his good statistics, was still severely suppressed in the second position. This has been his second position for three consecutive months.

After hearing the news, Lao Zhan's joy of ending Zuo Li's record has been diluted a lot. He has a hunch that he won't be able to win the best of the month this season. How can he compete for MVP!

No, the data still has to be refreshed, ah no, it still has to go up!

So Lao Zhan called his agent...

At this time, Zuo Li was discussing with D'Antoni to increase the playing time and number of shots of substitute players in the next game before the All-Star Game.

"Coach, I was too tired from playing before, so I just took advantage of this time to recuperate and prepare for the post-All-Star rush!"

"Well, I think so too!" D'Antoni nodded approvingly.

What a good player, other stars are thinking about how to stat, how to show their face, look at Zuo Li, he is simply a role model among the stars!

"But don't relax too much, you still have to prepare for the All-Stars." D'Antoni added.

In D'Antoni's eyes, this year's All-Star is tailor-made for Zuo Li. The right time, place and people are all in place. How long will it take to not show his face at this time? Although last year's All-Star Zuo Li was enough to show his face, but this year, Clearly there is a better chance!

"Well! I will! Don't worry, coach!" Speaking of the upcoming All-Star, Zuo Li is also gearing up for it. Yes, he has been looking forward to this year's All-Star for a long time.

Unlike last year, this year's Knicks can be called a bumper harvest. In addition to the previously announced Zuo Li as the current vote leader, the Knicks also have many people selected for this trip to Dallas.

First, of course, is Randolph. As a legacy from last year, Randolph was finally selected to the All-Star bench this year. This is also the first time Randolph has been selected.

On the afternoon when he got the news, Randolph shed more than 400 kilograms of tears, crying like a fat man weighing 200 kilograms. The prodigal son turned around, and he finally waited for this day.

At the same time, D'Antoni became the coach of the All-Star East as a matter of course, and Lao De was very calm, after all, it was not the first time.

In addition, Curry, Danny Green, and Beverly were selected to the first-year rookie lineup, which is the most among all 30 teams. In addition, the left wing was selected to the second grade, and the Knicks have as many as three rookies. Players participate.

The three little ones who got the news were happy on the one hand and had nothing to love on the other, how could the boss fight on the other side...

In addition, as the defending champion, Zuo Li took part in the slam dunk contest and skill contest as a matter of course, but surprisingly, Zuo Li was also invited to participate in the three-point contest, becoming the only player who participated in all three events!

When seeing the roster, people unconsciously recall what Zuo Li said in an interview before the end of the All-Star Game last season: "Maybe I will participate in the three-point contest!"

A year later, isn't this coming!
