Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 297: The big event that changed the league landscape

After finishing the interview in the locker room, Zuo Li, who had just taken off his shirt, was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower. The third assistant, Haas, pushed the door and walked in and said to everyone:

"Guys, you'd better listen. The Celtics announced a big event today. Kevin Garnett will miss the home game against us the day after tomorrow because of a right knee injury."

"Wow, this is really good news, I finally don't have to be beaten." Randolph stuck his fat waist and looked up at the sky. In the previous three games against the Green Army, Randolph suffered a lot. Being overwhelmed by Garnett can be said to be one of the power forwards that Randolph is most reluctant to face this season.

"Don't make a fuss, even without Garnett, the Greens still have Perkins, not as black as you, but as tough as you." Larry Hughes patted Randolph's stomach and said.

"It's alright, there's still Zuo Li, we joined forces, we can't make two people, and we can't make a Perkins!" Randolph patted his chest, causing the fat on his stomach to tremble. , looks good in hand.

"Hey, according to my experience, you are in charge of resistance, Zuo Li is in charge of offense, make the best use of everything, otherwise such a big belly will not be in vain." Little Ewing stepped forward and secretly joined the ranks of RUA's belly.

"FUCK! Is it my fault that I'm fat! The burger is too tempting, and you can touch Lao Tzu's belly! Larry, Chandler, you two hold him down! Let me Come on, daddy!!!"

Tsk tsk, the dialogue is inexplicable, I can't bear to look directly at it...

"Okay, guys, don't make trouble. The coach wants you to clean up quickly. We'll change our plan and fly to Boston tonight." Haas looked at the scene where men were added to men, and touched his forehead speechlessly. The atmosphere in the Knicks locker room is getting better and better, but this style of painting is gradually deviating.

"clear!"

Everyone agreed, and then continued to rub little Ewing...

Haas: "…"

Hey, forget it, as long as you are serious on the field.

On the other hand, Zuo Li did not participate in such a heartwarming activity, but thought about the impact of the Garnett truce in his head.

The Knicks didn't feel anything, they just thought that Garnett was just a minor injury and needed to rest. This is not uncommon in the NBA. Many people even think that Garnett has an injury or not. After all, older stars use injuries. It also happens that excuses to take a few games off during the regular season to prepare for the playoffs or later, more important games.

But Zuo Li, who has come here, will not know that Garnett's truce this time is not so simple.

This can be called an injury that changes the pattern of the league!

In Zuoli's memory, Garnett had discomfort in his right knee and knee after the Christmas battle. At first, it was not taken seriously, or the Green Army did not want to reveal this information. After all, their goal was obviously to defend the title. The news of the injury will not only affect the morale of the team, but also make other direct competitors perceive the opportunity.

So for more than a month, Garnett appeared in the game as always, but his appearances were intermittent and his time was obviously limited.

It's just that this month, Garnett's state is obviously not right, and the average data has also dropped to 13.4 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, which is much lower than his average data this season. .

Everyone used to think that Garnett was getting old or the result of the run-in of the Big Three, but it was actually a knee injury.

Of course, the game that directly led to Garnett's reimbursement has not yet happened. In Zuo Li's memory, at the end of February, that is, in the game against the Utah Jazz after the All-Star Game, the ligament in his right knee was completely torn due to an unsuccessful alley-oop. Then after four more comebacks, the team announced a season-ending loss and played just 57 games all season.

Lost air catch...

It's hard to believe that Garnett, who is physically strong, will be injured for such a reason. In fact, the old injury accumulated before broke out at that moment.

The direct result of Garnett's reimbursement is that the more mature Celtics were eliminated by the Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Unfortunately, they missed the opportunity to defend their title. Originally, 2009 was the most mature year for the Big Three of the Green Army. With the rise of Rondo, although Posey is missing from the lineup, but the impact is not that big.

Because the remnants of the Celtics still had to fight the Magic for 7 full games before they were unfortunately defeated. If Garnett remained healthy, it would be difficult for the Magic to stand out from the Celtics.

Moreover, the impact of this injury is not only that, he has a profound impact on the overall pattern of the league in the next three to four years.

This injury not only affected the Celtics' title defense journey this year, but also Garnett's entire career. It can be said that Garnett's dominance has declined a lot since that injury.

This also directly led to the Lakers' comeback at a critical moment in the 2010 Finals and missed the last chance to win the championship.

In the following 2011 and 2012, the Celtics were also sacked by the Big Three Heat. Among them, the 3-2 lead in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals was the most unfortunate time. If Garnett hadn't been injured, the result might have been very different.

But it's useless to say these now. Injuries are always the biggest enemies of these stars. In the NBA, there are far more geniuses who are destroyed by injuries than those who finally become talented. The example of missing the championship because of star injuries is also Bibi All are.

All the players can do is try to avoid injuries and then actively recover, that's all.

For Zuo Li and the Knicks, Garnett's injury means that they really have the strength to meet the Celtics directly. After all, according to the current ranking, the Knicks have a chance to meet the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Zuo Li is also not a virgin, and he doesn't think that if one person is less, he won't be able to win or anything. Those who have this idea usually don't survive three episodes in martial arts dramas.

On the 7th, the Knicks challenged the Celtics away, and this was the last regular-season match between the two teams this season.

In this game, the Knicks finally swept away the haze, 99-89 away, 10 points advantage took away the victory, ending the three-game losing streak against the Green Army.

Sure enough, as Zuo Li expected, the Green Army without Garnett is indeed not the same team~www.readwn.com~ But that's all, Zuo Li didn't think the Knicks overwhelmed the green jersey. military.

It's just one game. Winning doesn't mean that the Knicks will be sure to meet the Celtics in the playoffs.

The restraint on the lineup is still very obvious. The Green Army's Ray Allen and Rondo's backcourt, Pierce and Tony Allen's offensive and defensive No. 3 positions all put a lot of pressure on the Knicks on the outside.

There is also a high probability of winning this game because they just lost Garnett, and they are not used to not having a wolf king on the inside. In addition, the outside line is too hard. No matter which game they make 0 of 11 shots, it is too much.

Of course, Zuo Li's outstanding performance is also crucial. Without Garnett, Zuo Li still has an advantage against Perkins. Zuo Li's 13 breakthroughs in this game have proved this, which is more than the sum of the previous three games. want more.

The most terrifying thing about Garnett is that his defensive area is very large, and he truly covers the entire three-point line. Whether it is post-back or breakthrough, it is difficult to escape Garnett's help.

Without Garnett, Zuo Li gave everything he wanted. He made 15 of 18 shots, 34 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks in this game, which was also the best against the Green Army.

But even so, the Green Army still limited the Knicks to less than 100 points. The best defensive team in this era is well-deserved by the Green Army.
