The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

The All-Stars ended with joy.

There are so many things worth remembering in this All-Star, OK’s toast together, O’Neal’s masked dance, Zuo Li’s coin dunk, the counterattack of the first grade...

But there is no doubt that Zuo Li is a surprising discovery of this All-Star.

Not only is he strong, he led the rookie team to complete the counterattack and won the MVP of the rookie game, he also showed his prowess in individual events, and made history with double championships in a single day.

And as one of the few players in history who was selected for the main game in his rookie season, Zuo Li did not feel jerky at all. He completely controlled the situation on the court and won the highest score and highest rebound in the Eastern Conference All-Star game. He also had the second most assists , if the Eastern Conference wins, maybe Zuo Li will set a record of winning the All-Star MVP in his rookie season, but this year's Eastern Conference is obviously insufficient, and the last 20 points difference shows the problem.

But this still can't cover Zuo Li's light. According to the statistics of the media, Zuo Li is the guy who created the most records in a single All-Star in his rookie year.

ESPN commented that Zuo Li is the most suitable player for All-Star after O'Neal, and the cover of Sports Illustrated once again used the photo of Zuo Li and three trophies. This is the third time Zuo Li has appeared on sports this season. The cover of the pictorial, this is the treatment that Kobe, James and other stars do not have. Translate what is called a card face.

This All-Star is destined to become a classic.

For Zuo Li, this time he has gained a lot, his popularity is full, and all the set goals have been completed. There is no better ending than this.

In addition, during the period, the film and INS affairs of Aomei were also settled. It can be said that the left standing inside and outside the All-Star Stadium is the biggest winner.

At the end of the game, Zuo Li received party invitations from many star players or people in the entertainment industry, but Zuo Li refused them all. Holding three freshly baked trophies, Zuo Li and his two teammates, Ewing Jr. and Chandler, A group of people flew directly back to New York on the plane in the early morning of the night.

It wasn't that Zuo Li was pretending to be aloof and playing big names, Zuo Li couldn't care about the Austrian girls who were obsessed with it, so he had to take the plane back to New York the next morning. All this was due to the devil's schedule of the league.

On the second day after the end of the All-Star Game, the Knicks will take the lead in firing the first shot in the second half of the game against the San Antonio Spurs.

In addition to being an important event for fans, the All-Star Game is also the last rest period for the league to hit the playoffs.

After the All-Star Game, it means that the competition for the playoff spots will officially start.

As the saying goes, after the All-Stars, life and death are cut off, and the end of the All-Stars also means that the cruelest competition is coming. Those teams that play dead will show 120 points, and the Spurs are the most!

The Knicks had lost to the Spurs at home once before, but this time, the Knicks don't want to continue to lose.

In the last 30 games, every game is crucial!

"Welcome back, our big star." D'Antoni said with a smile, looking at Zuo Li who hurried back to the team after a nap.

"Let's turn the East upside down!" Zuo Li smiled.

...

On February 2th, the chartered plane of the league's most wealthy landed in the small town of San Antonio through the air. This was the first time Zuo Li came here.

Quiet and comfortable, this city has a completely different urban atmosphere from other NBA teams' cities, which may also be one of the sources of the unique temperament of the Spurs team.

The culture of the Spurs is unique, and his way of achieving success is completely different from other teams. Even Zuo Li has always felt that according to the city size of San Antonio and the worth of the owner, it is already a miracle to be successful.

Fans jokingly call the Spurs culture the 'little stonemason spirit'. Every Spurs player knows the championship and is willing to fight for the championship. All Spurs players are like a car part, working hard for the car to run farther, not Stand out for a certain indicator alone.

So even if Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili are very good, and everyone with personal ability is enough to get a maximum salary, they still choose to stay in the Spurs. This also makes the Spurs the most stable team in the past ten years. It can be regarded as the trough period of the Spurs, being hacked 8, being counter-lore, losing a good game, etc., but it is undeniable that from the formation of GDP to retirement, no team thinks he is a piece of meat that is easy to chew, and has always maintained a competitive position. crown level.

Everyone has been saying that the Spurs are getting old, but Zuo Li is very clear that the Spurs are tired at most now, and there are still a few years before they fall completely. James just believed too easily in the phrase "the future is yours". After many years, he was still beaten up by Lao Deng, and 'Decision One' was directly broken up.

Zuo Li will not make such a mistake. No matter when, Zuo Li will not underestimate the Spurs team, not to mention they still made it to the Western Conference Finals last season.

The Spurs' appearance ceremony was very low-key. The fans in the AT&T Center Arena continued to support their home team. Although the Spurs' condition before this season was not particularly good, they are currently only in the fifth place in the Western Conference. Rockets, but their fans still firmly believe that the Spurs will be able to show off as usual at the end of the season.

Indeed, post-All-Star efforts have almost become the hallmark of the Spurs. For so many years, the Spurs have become accustomed to late-stage efforts, especially in odd-numbered years. After a wave of ending the regular season, they will take away the top two or even the first place, and then counterattack all the way to win the championship. The story has been repeated 2003 times from 3 to now.

This year also happens to be an odd-numbered year, so many Spurs fans have rekindled their desire to win the championship. This collision with the league's upstart Knicks is regarded as their touchstone.

Even many Knicks fans are not very optimistic about the Knicks winning away games. The Knicks have lost a lot of games this season, but most of them have played back and forth, whether it is the Rockets, the Lakers or the Celtics. The Spurs lost that game relatively simply. The Spurs, who were all soldiers, restricted the Knicks generals except Zuo Li. Only Zuo Li was left alone and helpless. Looking at the league, only the Spurs who are in full condition can really Well done.

But Zuo Li is full of confidence. The biggest problem with this Spurs is age and injuries. The average age of Bowen and Finley is 37 years old.

The GDP is getting bigger and everyone is suffering from injuries, especially Manu. The old injury has not healed quickly. The average playing time is only 20 minutes per game. This season, Parker and Duncan can average more than 50 points per game, while the Spurs team The average is only 95.6 points.

So as long as Parker and Duncan are locked, the Knicks can win, and it just so happens that the two elders have just returned from participating in the All-Stars.

Popovich sent Duncan, Oberto, Bowen, Finley and Parker to start. The inside line allowed Oberto and Zuo Li to stand up. It was still a style of play that mainly locked other players from connecting with Zuo Li.

However, the Knicks had been prepared for a long time. Zuo Li swayed directly to the 1st position in this game. Parker looked at the giant in front of him with a dazed expression.

No!

In the first round, Zuo Li ate Parker raw, and turned around for a low-post dunk, showing the majesty of the champion of the new slam dunk contest.

Then alertly intercepted Parker's pass, one-stop self-throwing and self-dunk to complete the second consecutive dunk!
