Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

It is suspense, but in fact the suspense is not big, because the opponent of the Knicks in the last game is not a strong team, but the New Jersey Nets, who currently have 34 wins and 46 losses, ranking 12th in the East.

In the previous three matches, the Knicks have won three times easily, and they can beat their opponents by 18.5 points per game. It is the Knicks' third-highest net rating team this season, second only to the two unfortunate Raptors and Bucks.

As for the team's important statistics such as rebounds, assists, and steals, the Knicks also have an overall advantage. It can be said that as long as they play normally, it is not difficult for the Knicks to win this game.

Zuoli averaged 29.5 points, 15.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.9 blocks and 1 steal in these three games. He shot 70.4% from the field, 44.4% from three-point range, 72% from the free throw line, and averaged turnovers per game. There are only 1.8 times and 2 fouls, which can be said to have surpassed Zuoli's regular season data in an all-round way.

This is also understandable. In addition to the weak strength of the Nets, Zuo Li's performance is also affected by the UAE. Because of the existence of the UAE, Zuo Li plays every time he encounters the Nets as a derby, and his state is naturally full.

So in this last game, the outside world is generally optimistic that Zuo Li can complete an incredible 82 double-doubles this season.

Barkley also said humorously: "The only one who can stop Zuoli may be D'Antoni."

It's really possible.

Now almost all fans and media are afraid that the Knicks will suddenly take a rest. After all, although Zuo Li's playing time has dropped sharply, he is indeed the only player in the Knicks' starting five who has not been rested. Liudu took 2 games off, but Zuo Li kept 81 games full attendance.

After losing to the Heat last game and ending the suspense of the Eastern Conference playoffs early, it is hard to guarantee that D'Antoni will not rest for the upcoming playoffs. After all, the playoffs are obviously more important than the insignificant regular season.

It can be said that the regular season of the Knicks has been very successful this season. Various records have been broken. At present, they have won the best regular season record in team history, and they have also won the second place in the Eastern Conference. The next step is to win another game. Because the difference between 62 wins and 61 wins is not too big, even if you lose, it will not affect the playoff ranking. In this case, taking a break is undoubtedly the smartest way.

You must know that although the Knicks are successful enough in the regular season, the playoffs are completely different games, and a little lack of preparation may cause the possibility of overturning.

And the Knicks are definitely the target of public criticism. Everyone's eyes are on their every move. If the playoffs are not well played or they are eliminated in the first round, the Knicks will not be comforted, but will definitely be It's all kinds of pungent taunts and all kinds of verbal criticism, and the sunspots who can't see their shadows will collectively climax and charge on the front line of the Black Knicks.

At that time, Zuo Li and D'Antoni may not care, but whether others can bear it or not is another matter. After all, this is New York. When it comes to the NT level of the media, there is no place in the world that can compare with this place.

The last time the Knicks won 60 but unexpectedly fell in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they were criticized by the media for their flaws. That was the media more than ten years ago, and the combat effectiveness is not the same order of magnitude as the new media that has just entered the Internet access control. If you change to now, it is estimated that you will be washed away!

It is conceivable that the pressure to play the playoffs here is far greater than that of other places.

And even aside from the expectations of the media and the outside world, the Knicks themselves are full of ambitions for the playoffs, and this is the point. Although it is stated on the surface that the task of this season has been completed, who does not want to make achievements in the playoffs Woolen cloth.

The outside world is also aware of the current situation of the Knicks, so they made this guess. Even Zuo Li’s online fan club and fans have already thought of reasons for Zuo Li and the Knicks in advance, and some people have warned radical fans online in advance, If you can't stand on the left, don't get excited, let alone rush to the head coach and other staff.

And what about Zuo Li's own thoughts?

Of course to fight!

Zuo Li found D'Antoni after the game with the Heat and expressed his desire to play.

Similar to what the outside world thinks, D'Antoni originally intended to give Zuo Li a day off. After all, according to the schedule, the first round of the playoffs will start on the 18th, which means that the last round on the 16th will only have one day of rest, and the only entanglement. The only thing is the record. D'Antoni also feels that it is a pity to give up so much. After all, he has coached for so many years, and he has never seen anyone who can maintain a full 82 double-doubles in a whole season. This record is even comparable to 100 points in a single game. God-level record.

Although the 81 games are equally shocking, one less game is like missing a corner of the cake, which can drive the life of an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient. Although one less game will not affect the success of Zuo Li's rookie season, it will definitely become a big regret, after all. Adding up the 82 consecutive double-doubles in the new season, it is estimated that no one will be able to do it again.

So D'Antoni doesn't know how to choose.

However, Zuo Li is very confident. First, he has a system and has a strong recovery ability. Second, this is 82 consecutive double-doubles!

Anyone familiar with the NBA double-double record knows what that number means.

The record is right in front of you, and there is no reason not to take it. As for the coach's worries, Zuo Li himself is very confident.

"Don't worry, coach, one quarter is enough." Zuo Li said confidently.

"Okay, nothing, play slowly, let's not be in a hurry, I'll congratulate you in advance here." Listening to Zuo Li's words, D'Antoni is no longer confused. The player's wishes are still the most important thing. He believes that Zuo Li can do it. Balance the record with the playoffs.

As for taking two pairs in one session, he didn't take it seriously. He just listened to it, and if it's serious, his mind specifies that there is such a serious illness!

However, one day later, on the night of the 16th, D'Antoni really felt that there must be something wrong with his brain...

Before the game, when Zuo Li appeared on the Knicks roster and continued to make his debut~www.readwn.com~ fans all over the world breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the thing that kills obsessive-compulsive disorder will not happen.

Fans sat in front of the TV on the small bench, ready to wait for the end of the last suspense of the season.

The rest of the Knicks' starting lineup sat on the bench, Dragic with diarrhea, Larry Hughes with a cold, Randolph with his **** in the shower, and Chandler in a suit and tie with an apple stuck in his throat. on the sidelines.

The four are quizzing how long it will take Zuo Li to complete a double-double tonight.

The most daring Dragic guessed the same as the previous game, halftime.

The others ranged from three quarters to the whole court. After all, the Nets are pure main players, and the Knicks have rested 4 main players in rotation. The strengths fluctuate. Whether Zuo Li can easily get rebounds and score points is unknown.

However, in the first second, Zuo Li told everyone with a deduction, two pairs? Isn't it fast!

In the next half quarter, Zuo Li hit all 4 shots, scored 10 points, and had 7 rebounds. The Knicks' bench shot became a tool for Zuo Li to score consecutive rebounds and points!

This half is already done!

The United Arab has been dumbfounded, looking at his 3 points and 2 rebounds data and fell into contemplation...

It turns out that two pairs of data are so easy!

Then, in the last minute of the first quarter, Ke Liu made a three-pointer, and David Lee under the basket withstood the UAE, which once again gave Zuo Li a chance!

bang!

Make up!

"Congratulations to Zuo Li! OMG! The 10th rebound in the first quarter, the 5th offensive rebound, the third dunk, 12 points and 10 rebounds, congratulations to Zuo Li for scoring a double-double in 82 consecutive games!" Smith people are stupid .

Who would have thought that this suspense was completely over in less than 12 minutes!
