The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Not the same season, but the same result. Zuo Li still dominated the top five lists of the season, and the steals list became the only "pure land" and the only list where Zuo Li's name could not be seen in the top 50.

This kind of performance basically made Zuo Li book many heavyweight awards in the upcoming awards season. Zuo Li's fans are already gearing up and looking forward to the moment when Zuo Li continues to sweep the awards season.

However, Zuo Li is still calm. He just glanced at the stats at the end of the season, and it was not for showing off. He just wanted to see his progress this season. The coming playoffs.

For Zuo Li, the happiest thing is not how amazing his stats are, but that Curry has not only recovered his health, but also the hidden dangers of ankle injuries are gradually disappearing. This is extremely important to the Knicks now and in the future .

And after tonight's training, the trainer also gave the best answer: "Zuo Li, I think Stephen has all the conditions to play now."

"YES!!!" Hearing this answer, Curry roared up to the sky, and finally, he finally got the answer he wanted most!

However, Zuo Li on the side directly poured a basin of cold water on Curry: "I don't think so!"

"Boss!!!???"

From heaven to hell, Curry experienced the warmth and vicissitudes of the world in just a few seconds.

But soon, Curry, who came back to his senses, found that the corner of Zuo Li's mouth could not hold back a smile.

"Hahahahaha! Well, I won't lie to you anymore!"

"The starter must be the starter!" Zuo Linu rubbed Curry's hair.

"Huh~" Curry instantly felt that he was going to lose his strength: "Boss, don't make such jokes in the future, it's not fun at all."

Otto on the side rubbed his hair with a pure face: "Isn't it fun? Why do I think it's quite funny."

Curry: "..."

You better be busy, if you weren't the trainer, I'd smash your dog's head with a ball!

……

The next day, Curry officially returned to the Knicks starting lineup. The team held a simple welcome ceremony for Curry at noon on the 17th. In the afternoon, Curry participated in the team training.

The outside world doesn't know the specific results of the joint training, except that Beverly, who was defending him, trembled when he saw someone raise his hand at night.

……

On the evening of April 4, in the first round of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Knicks played against the Philadelphia 18ers at home.

This is the first game of the playoffs this season, so the official also gave the greatest respect, live broadcast across the United States, simultaneous broadcast in 148 countries and regions, and the largest announcement in official history.

Fans from all over the world joked online that it is difficult to know the Knicks when you go out now, because there are Knicks posters everywhere in the subway and shopping malls.

But it can only be said that the Knicks are worth it, because even if this round of the series is only the first round of the playoffs, the Knicks have attracted enough attention.

Especially in New York, even a certain politician didn't forget about the Anix playoffs after his speech, and the cards were full.

When analyzing the series between the Knicks and the 76ers before the game, almost all professionals believed that the Knicks had no problem passing the series. ESPN's 24 industry insiders even voted 100% for the big score of the matchup. -4.

Barkley also said before the game that what the Knicks need to consider in this round of the series is not how to win, but how to win the game without getting injured and saving more energy.

It sounds a little disrespectful to the Philadelphia 76ers. Don't forget, the 76ers also caused a lot of trouble for the Knicks during the regular season. If it wasn't for Zuo Lixue C, maybe the Knicks would win 70!

So the Phillies arrived in New York well enough to express their dissatisfaction.

Iguodala said: "Although we are only eighth in the Eastern Conference, we have the courage to overcome the following challenges."

Holiday also said: "We will win one in New York."

In short, although the harsh words are not harsh enough, it can be seen that the 76ers still want to break their wrists with the Knicks.

Moreover, they think that they have summed up enough experience from the defeat in the regular season, that is, they must not relax their defense against the leftist for even a second!

So tonight, the 76ers sent: Iguodala, Holiday, Turner's outside line, and Brand, Hawes' inside line.

But at the beginning of the game, no one cared who the 76ers were on, because Stephen Curry, who had only played 1 game in the last month, appeared in the Knicks' starting lineup.

Zuo Li, Randolph, Battier, Belinelli, Curry, and the Knicks lineup once again returned to the most familiar set.

"We saw Stephen Curry playing, and we could see that he was still wearing full protective gear on his ankle, with both feet. I don't know if his injury has fully recovered." Yu Jia said.

"It should be about the same, but the Knicks asked him to come out tonight to find the feel of the game and the feeling of the game. After all, he just returned from injury." Yang Yi said.

The Philadelphians thought the same way. They didn't regard Curry as a key figure. They still focused on Zuo Li. Before going on the court, they were still hypnotizing themselves: "Come on, defend Zuo Li and win!"

Little did they know that they had already made their own way into it.

Amid the cheers of the New York fans, the left jumper easily defeated Hawes, and the Knicks made the first attack.

In fact, Zuo Li is definitely an advantageous matchup in this round of the series. Hawes's playing style is soft, and he can't pose enough threats to Zuo Li on both offensive and defensive ends, not even Brand. After all, Brand is only 2. In his early years, he was really too short.

"Go around and go around!" The 76ers coach also felt that the Knicks would give Zuo Li the advantage in the interior, so he kept shouting and going around. This is one of the defensive methods they came up with.

However, Zuo Li didn't catch the ball at all, and raised the pick-and-roll. Curry used Zuo Li's unsolvable coverage to easily break through to the inside, and made a successful throw in front of Brand!

"Oh, the familiar Left Curry pick-and-roll, Curry announced his return with the first score in the opening game." Barkley applauded.

"Before the game, some people said that Curry may not be in good condition. After all, he has been out of battle for a long time and needs time to find his condition, but now it seems that Curry's condition is still good." Smith said.

Indeed, after all, the cultivation is different from what everyone imagines. The amount of training Curry has done is not low at all.

Moreover, this ball is just the beginning. Tonight's Curry is not only back, but also very strong.

In the next round, Curry single-handedly withstood Turner on the defensive end, preventing the latter from breaking in. He made a strong shot and hit the iron. After receiving the rebound, Curry made a long pass from the left to find Curry. point.

4-0.

Curry gave the 76ers a blow with one offense and one defense.

But the 76ers still didn't care. The defensive end continued to put pressure on Zuo Li, but ignored Curry, which also made them pay the price quickly.
