The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

On February 2th, in the first round after the All-Star Game, the Knicks will face the Atlanta Hawks, which is currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference. In this game, if Zuo Li can continue his good form before the All-Star Game and score more than 18 If you score, Zuo Li will break Chamberlain's record of 40 consecutive games with 14+ games and occupy the first place in history.

Before the game, Zuo Li naturally made no secret of his ambition to break the record. After a long absence, Zuo Li took the initiative to shout at his opponent before the game.

Just when the reporters were so excited, thinking that they would see a passionate collision in the first game after the All-Star Game, the Eagles didn't react at all.

Even before the game, a reporter took the initiative to provoke trouble, and deliberately exaggerated Zuo Li's remarks when interviewing Eagles core Joe Johnson. Joe Johnson didn't have any special reaction...

"What? Zuo Li looks down on us? Don't make trouble, buddy. We just came back from being teammates in Los Angeles. That guy is a good guy. We get along very well. I know him. It's impossible for him to say such a thing."

And another All-Star Horford said: "I read the interview, Zuo Li just said that he wants to break through himself and break the record. Seriously, if it were me, Chamberlain's record was in front of me, I would not be able to bear it." Stay, don't make trouble, guys."

Even the head coach of the Eagles said: "We will seriously prepare for this game, strive for victory, and go all out against Zuo Li, but it is only limited to the field, and we have no problems off the field."

From top to bottom, a peaceful scene.

The reporters are all confused, what's the situation, you guys just wait and see me, hello everyone?Have you ever thought about the feelings of our reporters?

A senior reporter even scolded her behind her back directly: "SHIT! Don't want such a good hype opportunity!"

The attitude of the Eagles made Zuo Li a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, he really didn't say anything too much. This time he just met the Eagles by chance. He would say the same thing when he met other teams. After all, he really came here to break the record.

However, this Eagles has indeed always been a low-key team. In the past few years from 08-11 in the last life, fans know that the Eastern powerhouses are the Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic, and then the Heat that make up the Big Three. Few people remember that the Eagles were also the powerhouse in the East during this period.

The main reason is that this eagle is too low-key from top to bottom.

Don't look at all of them who are tall and rough, but in fact, from the leader Joe Johnson, to Josh Smith, and then to Horford, the Eagles are all low-key, humble, indifferent and withdrawn.

This has also led to their strong strength, good statistics, and even frequent visitors to the All-Stars, but when it comes to underrated players, there will always be their names, especially Joe Johnson and Horford.

Can you believe that, in addition to singles, Joe Johnson is also a cold-faced killer at the last moment.

According to statistics, in all the games Jordan participated in, he made a total of 9 buzzer lore, which is worthy of the name. Joe Johnson with 1 buzzer lore.

Jordan, Kobe's key ball ability is well known in the world, but besides the diehard fans of Joe Johnson, how many people know it.

Another cold knowledge, if you count the quasi lore that determines the outcome of the game, Joe Johnson is even more terrifying. He has hit 15 times in his entire career, especially in the 12-13 season, Joe Johnson hit 4 lore, 2 shots to tie the score at the last moment. The most terrifying thing is that when Joe Johnson shot at the last critical moment of the season, his shooting percentage was as high as 87.5%.

However, these statistics still did not retain Joe Johnson's reputation. Except for singles, it seems that Joe Johnson did not leave any other impression on the fans.

In the same way, Horford is the same. His humility and low profile make many people ignore his strength. In fact, apart from his static talent, Horford is good at offense and defense, especially defense, which is definitely underestimated.

If the core is like this, the Eagles will naturally become a powerful but lesser-known team.

In Zuo Li's heart, it may be this low-key humility that has influenced the Eagles to go further.

From 08 to 15, the Eagles have actually been a strong player in the Eastern Conference. Especially in 14-15, they even reached the No. 2.0 position in the Eastern Conference. Rubbing on the ground.

However, as soon as it came to the playoffs, they were beaten in reverse, and repeated failures in the playoffs also led to the Eagles slowly disbanding, and they returned twice!

In fact, the Eagles lineup has always been good, especially later, Horford, Millsap Twin Towers, outside Korver and Teague, there is no solution in the regular season, but they can't do anything in the playoffs.

So sometimes people criticize players like Artest and Beverly, but in the playoffs, such players really work.

The Eagles of later generations may have enough low-key buffs, and they chose the high-profile and arrogant Tre Young.

Alright, back to the book.

Although the Eagles were very humble and low-key before the game, they didn't hold back at all during the game.

Horford followed Zuo Li closely throughout the game, and the Eagles also made a desperate attempt to get Zuo Li to break through. They even started foul tactics in the second half, trying to stop Zuo Li from scoring momentum.

However, their defensive tactics obviously need to be updated, because in this game, Zuo Li did not break through or make a strong attack, but kept going to the low post, completely destroying the Eagles' defensive system in a way that no one thought of.

On the first attack, Horford held on to Zuo Li's right side, and Josh Smith rushed to attack, but after Zuo Li shook his shoulders, he turned around and scored a jumper!

Horford was stupid. He knew that the left standing would shoot a fadeaway jumper, but the first ball came directly and still surprised him.

Moreover, this shoulder shaking, this footstep, isn't this really Kobe playing? ?

Then in the first quarter, Zuo Li scored five goals in the same way, and two more made thugs, scoring 14 points in a single quarter.

Horford is numb, a 2-meter Kobe is playing backwards in front of you, how can you defend against it!

Josh Smith, who came to defend, also stretched his arms, as if he wanted to see how long his arms needed to block Zuo Li's shot...

"Oh ho ho, Zuo Li has really learned to shoot a fadeaway jump shot. It's really incredible. Although the shooting percentage is much lower than his breakthrough, but the 48% shooting percentage is enough to further increase his threat." Kenny Smith Said.

But Barkley shook his head and sighed: "There is no way to prevent it, how to prevent it, you need a 3-meter arm, this is impossible."

In the laments of the commentators, Zuo Li scored 52 points with 28% shooting in the half court, which forced the Eagles to use foul tactics to try to lock Zuo Li's shot.

But 10 of 8 free throws in the second half allowed Zuo Li to score 2 points with 40 minutes left in the fourth quarter!

At this moment, Zuo Li finally broke through the limit, surpassed Chamberlain, and monopolized the first place in history.

The Knicks also won the game 110-87, instantly winning their first win since the All-Star Game.
