The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Zuo Li's words attracted all the players, they all stood up and surrounded them, Zuo Li also said: "I know, everyone is sad about Stephen. I am the same."

"Curry is an important member of us. He is also our good brother and friend. His absence is to better appear on the court in the playoffs and fight for our ultimate goal, the championship."

"So take it easy, we're waiting for him to come back healthy."

"but…"

Zuo Li's tone became serious, and his eyes became firm: "Maybe you think we will give up the regular season, I believe, maybe Battier, Randolph... you veterans understand, perhaps, this is our most important thing in the eyes of many people. The best choice, after all, without Curry, maybe we are still powerful, but if we want to break through to 72 wins, or even 70 wins, it will be very difficult in the regular rotation."

Battier, Randolph nodded upon hearing this. As veterans of the league, they have long been accustomed to tactical trade-offs.

"But, I think, you underestimated yourself, me, and our combat effectiveness!"

"Of course there is a loss for Curry's absence, but we are the defending champions. We have infinite combat power. I can't guarantee that we will catch up with the Bulls, but I can guarantee that I will not give up easily. I will do my best to fight well." Every game!"

"Give up? It doesn't exist. The word "give up" doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Zuo Li's voice was extremely loud in the locker room. After he finished speaking, fallen leaves could be heard in the locker room.

D'Antoni applauded first, and then the applause and cheers gathered into pieces.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Danny Green: "Boss, well said! I won't give up either!"

Randolph: "How can I miss this kind of thing, Zach! Don't forget, we are the strongest in the league!"

Battier: "Although it's a bit unreasonable, but this is too hot. I'm here to help everyone go further. Of course I can't watch."

……

The locker room was lit. If Rivers saw it, he would definitely give up the title of contemporary chicken soup master to Zuo Li. By the way, he would pay a tuition fee and ask Zuo Li how he managed to make the "chicken soup" so delicious.

And Zuo Li knew why, because he was not just talking about it, nor was it just because he was sincere, but because he really wanted to prove it with practical actions.

The Knicks players’ trust in Zuo Li comes from the fact that Zuo Li has realized most of what he said, so they will naturally believe what Zuo Li said, so Zuo Li’s chicken soup has real ingredients. It's not the same as light mouth cannon.

Looking at the excited crowd, D'Antoni came to Zuo Li: "It seems that you are right."

"Hey, coach, I'm a player, so I naturally know what players want most. Money and championships are the ultimate goals of 99% of basketball players. Of course, 100% of basketball players can't The one who refuses is to leave his name in history, who doesn't want to engrave his name on the NBA's record book, including me." Zuo Li said.

"Hahahaha, actually including me, Mayfair, I don't know how many people are jealous. In addition to the record, they are also jealous that he can meet Michael Jordan, Shaq, and Kobe who is most like Michael, although many people ridicule him I achieved today's achievement by hugging the thighs of super giants, but unfortunately, who wouldn't want to hug such thighs." D'Antoni sighed: "But in the future, maybe I will become the guy who is jealous, After all, it’s such a blessing to have you on the team.”

"Hahahaha, now I can't compare with those three, but maybe we can try to create a new era." Zuo Li smiled: "Let's start now."

……

On April 4th, the Knicks, with 4 wins and 67 losses, officially started their first game in April in Cleveland, home of the Cavaliers.

Before the game, the NBA officially announced the best player of the month in the East and West last month. Kobe of the Lakers and Rose of the Bulls were elected respectively.

This is also the first time that Kobe and Rose have been elected the best of the month this season, and it is also the first time in Rose's career that he won the best of the month. Because of the fluctuation of the team's record, Zuo Li regretted missing the best of the fifth month of the season and also missed the NBA The first month-best season Grand Slam in history.

Before the game, CCTV commentator Su Qun said with regret: "If it weren't for the sudden injury, maybe today would be the most important moment for the Knicks and Zuo Li."

Yes, judging from Zuo Li's data, the monthly average is 28.8 points, 15.5 rebounds, 6 blocks and 5 assists. Although this data is a bit worse than Zuo Li's unsolvable February, it is still better than Rose's 26.4 points and 7.5 assists. The team's record fluctuated too much, and under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls performed well in a single month with 13 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference, and even widened the gap with the Knicks. They have also won 57 wins. Now the Bulls are only three games away from the glory of 60 wins, so it is understandable to give Rose.

What is even more regrettable is actually the team. After all, many people predicted that the Knicks would have a chance to win 70 wins in April.

Hearing what Su Qun said, Yu Jia also said with emotion: "It can only be said that basketball is like this. Many teams cannot escape the impact of injuries. Now, I only hope that Curry can return normally and not affect the playoffs. .”

They have also defaulted that the Knicks will let go of the following games. After all, they have won 67 wins at this time, and they have won at least 67 wins in two consecutive seasons. In the history of the NBA, there are only two seasons of 95-96 and 96-97. The Bulls are doing better than the Knicks.

As for continuing to win, unless the winning streak wins 73 wins, or 70 wins is meaningful, other meanings are not significant, so many people think that the Knicks should start taking turns to accumulate energy for the playoffs.

However, the Knicks' starting lineup has not changed, and Dragic still replaces Curry's lineup.

But this doesn't explain the problem, the rotation can start at any time, such as Popovich, he doesn't like to change the starting lineup, but let Duncan take a rest after 10 minutes, and make the league unable to fine, which caused people to imitate .

But as the game progressed, the fans and commentators gradually realized something was wrong, because they played left for 10 minutes in the first quarter, 8 minutes in the second quarter, and in the third quarter, the most ruthless period for the Cavaliers to chase points. , Zuo Li even hit full!

After the whole game, Zuo Li played 41 minutes, scored 44 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks. In the most critical second half, Zuo Li scored 29 points. Repeated scoring at critical moments also shattered the Cavaliers' dream of victory.

Leading the Knicks to a difficult 12-102 victory over the Cavaliers with 97 three-pointers in the opponent's game, and won the 68th victory of the season!

After the game, while congratulating the Knicks on successfully creating the best record in team history, the reporters also specifically asked Zuo Li why he played so long tonight.

"We saw that Randolph only played 21 minutes tonight, Dragic 27 minutes, Battier only 20 minutes, and only you and Belinelli played more than 40 minutes in the starting lineup. This is your tactical arrangement Is it?"

"Well, the playoffs are about to start after all, and it's time to recharge." Zuo Li nodded.

"But why did you play for so long?" The reporter asked a lot of people's questions. If Zuo Li took a rest, shouldn't Zuo Li rest more?

But Zuo Li's answer was: "Huh? Why should I take a rest? Apart from the playoffs, we still have things to do now!"
