Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

The Knicks' charter plane landed at New York Airport at 8:00 a.m. on the 18th.

The big men, who had been lethargic because of 6 consecutive away games, regained their vitality the moment they walked out of the airport.

Because outside the airport, before the Knicks bus, there were hundreds of fans who made a special trip to pick up the plane.

"Zuo Li~! You are amazing! You are the best, I want to marry you!"

"David Lee, look at me, look at me!"

"Hey guys, you guys are amazing, New York pride!"

…

Seeing the Knicks generals walk out of the aisle, the fans immediately became restless, and many fans waved their slogans and Knicks flags, or jerseys and scarves to greet them excitedly.

There are naturally the most and the craziest fans in Zuo Li. There are even girls who want to throw the fat times in their hands, but fortunately they are stopped by friends on the side...

This scene made the players other than Zuo Li feel flattered. Even Randolph, the **** bear who didn't hesitate, stopped his waist and tightened his stomach, pretending to be calm and playing with the fans. call.

Everyone who returned to the bus was still not satisfied. The coquettish little Ewing sat at the end of the bus, waving his hands and blowing kisses from time to time.

David Lee couldn't stand it any longer: "Hey, hey, this dude, if there are any of your fans below, you blow a kiss."

"Hahaha, I'm heartbroken, old iron."

"Don't make trouble, take the second generation of stars seriously!"

Randolph and Larry Hughes immediately laughed and filled up the knife, and the atmosphere instantly became joyful.

"You are just jealous." Little Ewing didn't dare to talk to a few old guns, so he could only turn around and mumble, "But then we have fans picking up the plane."

"Indeed, it's rare, we did a good job." Speaking of this, Ke Liu couldn't help it.

Although the number is small, it is definitely a qualitative change compared to the state of the Knicks who hated dogs in the previous two seasons.

"It means that the fans recognize us. We just played a very good game, and we will continue to work hard." Zuo Li said: "There will be more and more scenes like this in the future!"

"Um!"

"Did it, brothers!"

"I'm not sleepy anymore, let's practice!"

The Knicks have responded.

"Okay guys, don't worry, the season is still very long, maybe we should take a good day off, get back to Madison and disband immediately, we need to build up our energy, and then continue to prepare!" D'Antoni stood up and said with a smile. .

His heart is also full of gratification. He had no hope when he came here from Phoenix. It is really too difficult to change the Knicks team. It is no less difficult than manned spaceflight. He originally took the blame mentality.

But now, D'Antoni feels that this may be the most important turning point in his life.

After Zuo Li disbanded, he joined Rich Paul directly, and after checking the process of going to Los Angeles, he talked about the arrangement of endorsements and activities.

Now that Zuo Li has become popular in the United States, endorsements naturally come one after another, but Zuo Li has no new endorsement plan for the time being. Endorsements are not expensive.

However, there are also many invitations for events here in New York, and well-known programs such as the Ellen Show have sent invitations to Zuo Li.

Zuo Li was originally not going to participate, but after thinking about it, he still drew a circle on the Ellen Show. After all, this show may not be able to go to the show after a few years...

After everything was agreed, Rich Paul was ready to go, and if all went well, he could be back in time for Christmas.

Before he finally left, he gave him a list of players who were drafted by Zuo Li on the plane for signing.

It includes many hot high school students and college students in the United States, such as Oladipo of De Mata High School, Lillard of Weber State University, and well-known names such as Anthony Davis, Aaron Gordon, Andrew Wiggins...a big list of 50 in total!

"I know everyone else, but this Giannis Sina Hugo Antetokounmpo is..." Rich Paul touched the sweat on his forehead, and the name almost cost him half his life. The name is... so long!

"Oh, mistakes and mistakes, this guy may have just started to touch basketball now, cross it out, it's easy." Zuo Li thought about it and crossed him out with a pen.

"OK, then I know, I will try, but after all, we are a new company." Rich Paul said with a 49-man roster, a little excited and a little nervous.

"Don't worry, take your time. If you make a name for yourself, someone will come. Besides, don't we still have me? Besides, I still have a big move!" Zuo Li patted Rich Paul on the shoulder and said.

"Then I'm relieved, boss, I'll go first!" Rich Paul instantly became confident and went straight to Los Angeles with the list.

Zuo Li also found Tom. Recently, Stuyvesant has brought in several new teaching assistants, and Tom's position is in jeopardy. After all, he is not a professional, and his personal ability is not too strong.

It happened that Los Angeles needed a reliable person to sit in, and Tom was just right.

Tom readily agreed that his relationship with Zuo Li didn't need any courtesy, as long as Zuo Li needed him, he could go anywhere, so after a simple meal at noon, he immediately bought a plane ticket and flew to Los Angeles.

Zuo Li also greeted Rich Paul and asked him to leave a reliable accountant when he left.

After everything was done, Zuo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Crazy Los Angeles finally came to an end, and everything just needed to wait for development.

…

After dealing with complicated business stories, Zuo Li was finally able to return to the court. The consecutive away games made the Knicks' training effect in the last two days not very good. Although everyone worked hard, the three days did not change this.

So on December 20, they lost to the Celtics again at their home, which was the second time they lost to the Greens this season.

This game is actually a pity, although the Green Army played 8-0 at the beginning under the leadership of Rondo and Ray Allen.

But the Knicks quickly overtook the score under the continuous inside attack of Zuo Li and David Lee.

In the first quarter, the Knicks even took a 25-20 lead through a three-pointer from the left.~www.readwn.com~ The Knicks maintained the 5-point difference until the fourth quarter. However, the physical consumption made them in the fourth quarter. Festival failed to withstand the Green Army's counterattack.

Eight turnovers in a single quarter, and the hit rate also dropped to 35%, which unfortunately made the Knicks' advantage reversed at the last moment. Garnett and Pierce scored points successively, and finally Perkins's tipped the score to overtake the score.

The final score was fixed at 86-82, and the Knicks lost by 4 points. This was the Knicks' first home loss of the season.

Zuo Li played a large double-double with 22 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks in 35 minutes, but he also failed to continue his magical performance of 50 consecutive points.

However, Zuo Li still became the focus after the game. After all, under his defense, Garnett and Perkins only scored 17 points combined, and the New York media unexpectedly did not have any criticism, but expressed their regrets for losing the game. , and encouraged the Knicks to keep going.

In addition to the fact that the Knicks' 10-game winning streak has greatly exceeded their expectations, the main reason for the New York media's performance is the reason why the No. 1 Cavaliers in the East also lost at the same time, which keeps the gap between the two teams at 1 game.
