Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Zuo Li didn't want to be surprised by the sound of the world. His experience told him that the more you talked about it, the more excited he became.

But Zuo Li's indifference didn't make these people shut up.

On January 9th, the Knicks faced the Oklahoma City Thunder at home for the second round. In Oklahoma City, Zuo Li once defeated Durant's team with a 50-point performance in a single game. Duel again, Thunder and Thunder are united...

Well, no.

When the Thunder started the new season, they were quite smug. After all, they have been drafted with high picks for three consecutive years. The combination of Durant + Jeff Green + Westbrook has both internals and externals. How can this be achieved?

However, the Thunder were soon returned to their original shape. Whether it was Durant or Westbrook, they were too young now, and their strength was not enough to support the team, especially in a place like the West where strong teams walked all over the place. Their strength is not enough to see.

After 34 games, the Thunder barely won 10 games, and the winning rate barely reached 28%, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference, one win less than the Grizzlies, and just as good as the Clippers and Kings that were rotten in ten thousand years. Dot.

This is also the reason why Zuo Li believes that the Knicks will not continue their losing streak. After successively playing against strong teams such as the Green Army, Mavericks and Rockets, they finally ushered in an experienced baby.

This is still crucial to the recovery of the team.

D'Antoni obviously knows this too well. In this game with the Thunder, D'Antoni used 11 rotations in the whole game, standing on the left. Played a season-high 25 minutes due to being given a heavy responsibility.

Because of this reason, the game was not very intense. Here Westbrook, Adu framed the iron, and Green and Ewing in the inside framed each other and couldn't help each other, making the Thunder management face green.

Why are you so good, to be able to play against a second-round pick, back and forth...

Jeff Green is the person they regret the most in recent years, especially with Durant and Westbrook.

It is no wonder that later generations say that the rise of the Thunder begins with the trade of Jeff Green.

The Knicks played very easily here. In the opening, Zuoli used the pick-and-roll and Dragicilianu to score an excellent data of 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, which also helped the Knicks to establish an early advantage.

After that, Zuo Li turned to work, played only 7 minutes in a quarter, and finally played for 28 minutes. The data stayed at 20 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

The highest score was given to Durant with 30 points, and Westbrook had 18 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

After the game, the two sides were also very friendly, and Zuo Li had a few more chats with Westbrook.

To put it bluntly, this is a transitional game. Winning is enough. After the game, the Knicks are in a good mood, ending the losing streak.

However, some people still use Zuo Li's data to talk about things.

Yes, it's you again, Longley, a 'famous legend' who is addicted to the heat.

After the game, in the live broadcast room of ESPN, Zuo Li's performance in this game will naturally be discussed.

"Zuo Li showed his ability to adjust. In this game, he once again got a double-double and led the team to victory, stopped the losing streak, and stabilized the second place in the Eastern Conference. To be honest, such a performance is a rookie. It's incredible what happened to me." John Smith, who was close to Zuo Li, said first.

Justified.

In this game, Zuo Li scored a double-double in only 28 minutes of playing time. His efficiency was very high, and there were no mistakes in the whole game. This performance was much better than the average star.

But there are always people who want to flaunt their own legacy and independence by being different from others. Longley, who has successfully become an ESPN commentator, expressed different opinions:

"Zuo Li played better tonight than the previous two games, but we saw that he did not score as high as Durant, and the points came from the penalty area. If it wasn't for the Thunder's too much crotch defense, it would be difficult for him to get such a result. , and he had a physical problem, playing 28 minutes less than Durant by 12 minutes."

"Durant obviously has more potential. No matter where he plays, he is out of position. I am optimistic about his development."

(Adu: Can you bragging without me?)

"In short, I don't think this game can explain the problem, Zuoli's rookie wall still needs time to test, and Adelman has given the whole league a good example, everyone should be more and more able to defend him. "

(Adelman: And me!)

"No no no, I'm against it, so how do you explain the fact that he has zero turnovers and a plus-minus +11 game-high?"

"As I said, the Thunder defense is too bad!" Langley spread his hands, as if he had seen through everything.

Guys, it's you who sees through the NBA.

"Well, time will tell."

John Smith didn't bother to argue anymore, rubbed his temples speechlessly, he's done, Longley, you found it yourself, no wonder I didn't bring you back.

As a senior commentator who has followed Zuo Li all the way to interview for many years, John Smith is too familiar with Zuo Li's character. He is usually very gentle and usually does not cause trouble, but he is never afraid of trouble. It is good that he does not take the initiative to provoke you. It is definitely a character that will never give up without revenge.

It's the same with Jordan.

This guy Langley is just killing himself...

But soon, he knew that there was some heat that couldn't be messed around with.

The show deserved to be on fire.

Zuoli's popularity is now much stronger than that of later Internet celebrities. The number of fans on INS has exceeded 2 million, and it is still rising. Basically, a little news will trigger discussions.

Longley's headwind output quickly made Zuo Li's fans and sunspots quarrel, everyone held their own opinions, and the scene was very lively.

Zuo Li also learned the news. He has not watched ESPN's programs for a long time. As we all know, ESPN is the root of all evil. Zuo Li does not drink poisoned milk to exercise his hobby.

But this time, when the Knicks were training, David Lee told him, and he was very angry when he said it. Obviously, he was also disgusted by the so-called famous legend Longley's behavior of stepping on the left.

"Zuo Li~www.readwn.com~ That guy must be short of money recently." Little Ewing is also very disdainful, how can a serious celebrity hate people in the media every day.

"Understand, after all, we have to eat." Zuo Li was still calm, because he came from later generations too well to know what this group of people looked like. This Langley can only be regarded as a pediatrician.

However, the evil spirits cannot rise!

"Guys, are you going to **** me big..."

Zuoli is about to shoot!

…

January 11, Madison Square Garden, New York Knicks vs. Pacers.

Longley appeared on ESPN's commentary booth for the second time as a guest. Before the game, he still talked a lot about Zuo Li.

He doesn't know yet, the next scene will make him the first guest in history to leave halfway through the commentary...
