The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The 2016-2017 NBA regular season was both intense and not intense.

Fierce refers to the fact that during the entire offseason, the entire league has five or six teams with superstars, plus the strong teams that are already strong. The battles between them are very intense. Not only are the scenes hot, but the attention is also high. The games often go to the last minute and the score difference is often within five points.

The reason why it is not intense is mainly because the gap between these teams and small markets that have no money, no market, and cannot attract superstars is too big, resulting in the match between them often being decided in the first half, and the score difference is generally more than 20 points. Even if there are occasional more intense scenes, they are not exciting at all because the superstars are listless.

Naturally, no one likes to watch such games, which has also led to a decline in attendance for many teams in the new season.

The most serious one should be the Thunder. They were a Western Conference Finals team last season, but this season, with the departure of Kevin Durant, Westbrook has been unable to carry the team alone. Although Westbrook had 28 triple-doubles throughout the season and became the third man after Oscar and Zuo Li to average a triple-double in a season at the end of the season, the Thunder still ranked only eighth in the Western Conference and barely made it into the playoffs in a cold sweat.

Westbrook himself has also been controversial because of his complete falling out with Durant and his suspected attempt to force a triple-double.

Fortunately, Westbrook has the support of Thunder fans. After all, in their hearts, Durant is a defector just like James in the past.

However, the Thunder's attendance rate inevitably declined.

There are many teams like the Thunder in the league, which is also the consequence of superstars forming groups.

The Knicks, who were the defending champions last season and won 80 games in the regular season, have not been able to maintain the same strong dominance this season.

This is also to be expected. After all, they have dominated such a tough schedule for seven years, and it is normal to have some fluctuations.

In addition, this season, Zuo Li was affected by injuries for the first time in his career. In the 10th game, Zuo Li sprained his ankle. Throughout the season, he rested for 20 games on and off. This was also the first time in Zuo Li's career that he had to rest for so many games, more than in his previous eight years.

Fortunately, Curry has evolved again this season, making 401 three-pointers, becoming the second person in history after Zuo Li, and Klay has also evolved into a man averaging 20+ per game.

Their progress allowed the Knicks to move forward steadily, and they ultimately achieved a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

There is no way. The Eastern Conference is too weak this season. Except for the Bulls, the others are weak teams. The third-ranked Raptors look strong, but these trash brothers can basically not fight tough battles.

The Bulls achieved first place in the Eastern Conference as they wished, and the combination of Rose and James is very powerful.

However, the first place in the league was won by the newly formed Warriors, including Harden, Paul, Durant, and Howard...

The Warriors have become a bit like a cosmic team, and they have successfully won 65 games.

Next in the rankings are the Lakers and Spurs.

"With so many heroes rising up, the Knicks are very likely to lose their throne."

For Zuo Li, this season is his weakest season in nine years. Although he still won the rebounding and blocking titles, the scoring title fell to someone else for the second time in his career. It was the first time in Durant's career that he won the scoring title. Due to injuries, Zuo Li also failed to win the regular season MVP, and this honor also belonged to Durant.

The decline in team and personal data also led to more doubts about Zuo Li. Black fans took the opportunity to label Zuo Li as decadent, absent-minded and uninterested.

Because compared to the court, Zuo Li's achievements in other fields are even more impressive.

With the successful listing of INS, Zuo Li became a billionaire with a market value of hundreds of billions. His short video business was officially spun off into an independent company. The number of registered users exceeded 5 million within a year, and short videos became a popular trend that influenced the whole world. At the same time, Zuo Li also innovatively introduced live broadcast and shopping mall models on the short video platform, and it is estimated that an industrial chain worth over hundreds of billions will be formed in the future.

The entertainment industry is booming. The blockbuster Avengers 2, invested by Zuo Li's company, has grossed over 20 billion US dollars worldwide. Zuo Li's new wife Olsen's Scarlet Witch has become popular all over the world. With just one movie, she earned 8 million US dollars, with an amazing return on investment.

Olsen has become one of the hottest female stars in Hollywood. Oh, not even just a female star, because Zuo Li has given all the shares of the studio to Olsen. She is now a real wealthy president.

Olsen took the opportunity to expand the scale. Now, the previous studio has been renamed ZoAO Entertainment, and has signed as many as 39 stars.

There is also AND1, whose sneakers are sold all over the world, and the number of signed stars has reached 100 for the first time.

Zuo Li's sports agency also achieved new success, and new talents such as Tatum were recruited.

At the same time, Zuo Li and Yao Ming's sports investments in China are also in full swing, with various competitions emerging one after another.

In a word, Zuo Li's influence now spans many industries and he is a true capital tycoon.

Unsuccessful on the court, successful in business.

This is the evaluation of Zuo Li given by the outside world this year. Some people also think that Zuo Li slipped on the court because of external factors.

However, in the playoffs, Zuo Li once again proved that his era had just begun.

Sweeping the Hawks in the first round and defeating the Raptors in the second round, the 8-0 in two rounds made the outside world once again feel the power of the Knicks in the playoffs.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls and the Knicks fought for seven games. In the end, Zuo Li scored 7 points and 61 rebounds in the seventh game, defeating the opponent in a crazy battle, allowing James to maintain his playoff winning rate against him at 30%.

Zuo Li also made it to the finals for nine consecutive years.

The opponent in the finals is the Warriors led by Durant and Harden.

This was their second meeting and Paul's first time playing in the finals.

This time, the Knicks finally faced a test.

Apart from anything else, Durant is really ruthless, Paul is really useful, and Howard performed above his level: he really almost risked his life to defeat Zuo Li.

In the first five games, the Warriors took the lead 3-2!

Incredible victory!

This is the evaluation given by the outside world, and it is also the first time that Zuo Li has fallen behind in a series since his rookie season.

Based on the results of the first five games, 80% of people outside believe that the Knicks are going to lose.

However, nothing is predictable!

In Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, Paul strained his back muscles just four minutes into the first quarter.

"It's really... hard to bear."

Seeing Paul in pain, Zuo Li could only sigh at the power of the world.

Paul is still the fragile Paul, and he was only injured in crucial games!

110-104, the Knicks tenaciously tied the score!

3-3, the game comes to the Warriors' home court.

This is also the third time in Zuo Li's career that the finals have reached a game seven.

In the first two times, Zuo Li won one and lost one.

This time, the goddess of luck favored the Knicks.

Paul missed the game due to injury.

It's a shame, but that's basketball.

89-84.

After a painful defensive battle, the Knicks finally won the game tenaciously, defeating the Warriors 4-3 and winning the championship trophy for the eighth consecutive year!

And Zuo Li also achieved eight consecutive championships as the Finals MVP!

The position of the number one person in history is now more firmly established.

And the Celtics are no longer alone. From now on, there is one more team that has won eight consecutive championships!
