Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1011
In 2012, the biggest focus in the basketball world is still the Knicks.
A wave of 14 consecutive victories without any suspense, whether it is a weak team like the Hornets and Raptors or a strong team like the Lakers or Magic, cannot create any difficulties for the Knicks.
Yes, “any,” because no team other than the Mavericks, who beat the Knicks, has ever been able to play the Knicks in the final quarter and never get within 10 points.
These data all reflect three words: dominance!
Yes, the dominance of the Knicks is back. Now, those media who predicted that the Knicks will pull their hips in the new season have been slapped in the face. On the list of major championship predictions, the Knicks have returned to the top of the list again.
And all this is considered to be created by Zuo Li.
Zuo Li did not occupy the top spot in the major data list of the new season like last season, but in the MVP list, Zuo Li occupied the top spot with a huge advantage.
Those who don’t know may think that Zuo Li has degenerated into a media star now, that is, the kind who has never won a game or lost a vote…
However, no one who is knowledgeable will have any doubts about this result. Let alone the Knicks’ record in the league, it is said that the average playing time of the left side is the least in the league’s top 20 points per game. Negative values are the highest.
What shocked people the most was that in the first 15 games, Zuo Li threw a total of 100 three-pointers, with a hit rate of 55%.
This means that the left side has to throw 6.666 three-pointers.
I have to say that the number is too suitable, because it is really six times.
This also allowed Zuo Li to break the record for the fastest 100 three-pointers in a single season in history.
Ray Allen is currently the second most hit player with 33 in 15 games…
So far, there are still 14 teams that have made fewer three-pointers than Zuo Li alone. There are too many to list them one by one. You just need to know that this record is quite awesome.
Although Zuo Li had been irritated enough this month, the appearance of this record still prevented the media from shutting their mouths.
Zuo Li is in the top 20 of this record list, no, he is even the first and only center forward who has been able to enter the ranking since this record was established.
Is this something people do? !
“Zuo Li, ruthless…”
Now the media has a deeper understanding of Zuo Li’s “small-mindedness”.
You question me?
I will directly break your record!
Not just one!
Zuo Li himself is very satisfied with this data. In his memory, it was Curry who kept this record before he crossed. He threw 100 three-pointers in 20 games in the 15-16 season.
Looking at it this way, his recent performance can be called brave.
The only pity is that there are only 66 games this season, otherwise it can really hit the record for three-pointers made in a single season.
However, Zuo Li also understood that this wave of outside doubts not only stimulated his touch, but also because the opponent didn’t know how to defend him. As the game progressed, his touch would inevitably decrease a little.
Of course, it is impossible to drop significantly, the attributes are there.
But then Zuo Li also prepared to formally resume some style of play, to truly combine the inside and outside.
First, this is Zuo Li’s true strength, and second, it also gives the Knicks more opportunities to play outside.
In the first dozen or so games, despite the fact that other Knicks scored a lot, this was based on the fact that Zuo Li played less time on the court. On the ball, Curry’s scoring average has dropped by 3 points from last season, but his assists have risen by two, which is the reason.
“I’m not the only Knicks this season.” Zuo Li thought to himself.
In case the situation in the opening game happens again, Zuo Li believes that they will not make the same mistake again.
So in the 16th game, when the Knicks played at home against the “track and field teams” in the West, Zuo Li did not pull out too much like the previous games, but kept picking and rolling for his teammates.
However, his teammates feel average. D’Antoni gave Thompson, Curry, and Keliu a lot of time, but his shooting percentage was average.
The fans are very sorry, but Zuo Li is very excited!
Finally…he finally had a chance to play the second half!
In the second half, the Nuggets, who were only 5 points behind, were about to use their black and hard players to tie the score in one fell swoop, when Zuo Li stepped forward again.
The first ball came up to catch the ball from the top of the arc on the left, and after flying Faried, he broke through the flying dunk.
In the second round, Zuo Li performed the same action in the same position on the outside. This time Xiaofa didn’t take off, and then Zuo Ligan pulled a three-pointer and shot a solid three-pointer.
Faried: “…”
What kind of monster is this…
Then it was the exact same position again. This time, Faried chose to go up, left and right, left and right, directly dodged and then broke through with the ball. Faried looked at Zuo Li’s back and doubted his life.
“There is no way to prevent this, there is no way at all!!”
bang!
Another dunk.
In the fourth round, he chose the smartest way: lie flat…
So Zuo Li passed in front of him to Curry, who made the first three-pointer of the second half.
Faried: “…”
Quit doing it, I can’t do it anymore, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Whoever loves to do this job will do it!
So Zuo Li was naturally double-teamed by the outside line.
So Randolph laughed out loud in the interior, because Zuo Li hit him with two jump balls, and he scored consecutively with ease.
The point difference came to 12 points in an instant.
“Tonight’s Zuo Li is different. He plays more team and takes fewer shots, but passes more, which activates the rest of the Knicks.” Barkley said.
“This is Zuo Li. His three-pointers are amazing, but his ability can never be summed up by a certain offensive method.” Smith said.
“It’s crazy, this guy is this kind of man, he has too many weapons, each one is deadly, that’s why he can stand at the top of the league.” O’Neal said.
So, which left standing is more deadly?
It’s hard to say, because everyone can win!
In the second half, the Knicks always took the initiative in the game. They sent 11 points and 10 assists in the left half, 29 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds in the game, and got their first triple-double this season!
The Knicks also defeated the Nuggets 108-98 and got their 15th consecutive victory as they wished.
“It’s too fierce. Zuo Li has won another 15 consecutive victories. He has won 15 consecutive victories for three consecutive seasons. Zuo Li is the first in history, right?”
“Knicks Championship!”
“All the people are soldiers, and the Knicks are still the biggest favorites for the championship.”
“Can’t think of anyone who can win, maybe only the Heat can fight with it.”
…
The excited fans and terrifying winning streak made many people ignore the fact that Zuo Li only took 5 three-pointers in this game.
Not only that, but the Knicks’ terrifying shooting percentage has not been mentioned too much.
All of this seems to pave the way for the next game.
