Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1042
Chapter 1042 Thunder is also the Big Three
It must be a special fate that allowed Zuo Li and Durant to meet again at the critical moment of competing for the scoring title.
“If that’s the case, then I won’t be sleepy anymore.” Seeing that his next opponent was Lei Ting, Zuo Li’s misty eyes swiped open.
Originally, he was going to sleep directly, but now, he was going to watch the Thunder’s game video first.
Seeing this scene, you may feel that Zuo Lipiao is confused, because he doesn’t even know who his next opponent is, or you may think that he is pretending to be a cup on purpose. After all, according to the story of the previous life, this season Thunder It is the biggest opponent of the Knicks, and it stands to reason that it is impossible not to study it.
Of course it is impossible. In fact, Lei Ting’s information has been archived in Zuo Li’s mind for a long time, and Zuo Li will study Lei Ting for a while from time to time.
Here I have to mention the intensive schedule of this season. 66 games will be played in four months. Every week basically has back-to-back, even home and away games. This season is basically Zuo Li entering the league. The most fulfilling season, just as D’Antoni said, his time is basically spent on the field, training ground and on the plane.
With such a dense schedule, Zuo Li doesn’t memorize some unnecessary things, such as the schedule, because it’s the same for everyone, especially in the Western Conference. You don’t meet a few times in a season, so there is no need to study too much.
Of course, this game is different, Zuo Li still needs to study it carefully.
…
April 2, Madison Square Garden.
Before the game, Zuo Li received the Eastern Conference Player of the Month trophy last month.
This is the third best month for Zuo Li this season. From January to March, Zuo Li achieved the best of the month.
But Zuo Li also deserves his name. The Knicks’ record is too incomprehensible. Even if the statistics of James next door are good, Rose’s statistics and team record are not bad, but you really can’t find a reason not to give Zuo Li.
The media in Miami once said sourly: “No, let’s change it to the Zuo Li Award for Best of the Month in the future, because only he can win this thing.”
It can be seen that they are really anxious. After all, Zuo Li has basically won 90% of the best of the month in the past four years. In just three and a half seasons, the number of best of the month has exceeded 99% of the players in the league today.
At present, Zuo Liyue has achieved an astonishing 11 times, and is the fastest person in history. Currently, O’Neal who has won the best of the month 12 times, Kobe Bryant 14 times, James 15 times and 16 times Jordan.
In other words, maybe in another season or two, Zuo Li will become the number one on this list.
How can such a speed not make the media supporting other teams anxious.
But it’s useless to be anxious, Zuo Li’s best every month can stand scrutiny, and none of them is controversial.
Of course, even if there is no controversy, some people will be upset, such as Adu.
When Zuo Li held up the small trophy, Durant looked unhappy. How long has it been since I watched this guy lift the trophy live again, and I have to applaud this guy!
Speechless!
But Durant endured it, because he was here to make trouble tonight.
“The happier I am now, the happier I will be when I win.” Durant thought while applauding.
Regardless of the team or the individual, he must win this game!
Durant turned his head away from Zuo Li, who was giving his speech, and instead high-fived his teammates one by one, making the final preparations before the game.
Teammates are his confidence!
“Very good. The team is in good shape now. There is no need to wait. This season, we will definitely be able to achieve a lot. Kevin, Russell, and James are all very talented players. They have grown to the point where they can support the team. when.”
Thunder coach Brooks said at the press conference before the start of the season.
In fact, as he said, the Thunder, which has been triple-jumping since forming the Thunder’s three juniors, finally ushered in the last jump this season.
Two years ago, the Thunder was one of the teams with the most potential in the league. Durant in 2007, Westbrook in 2008, and Harden in 2009. The talent visible to the naked eye made them a strong contender for the future championship .
And this season, the three young masters have finally grown to the point where they can support the team.
This season, Durant averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage reached 49.1%.
Westbrook averaged 23.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting 46.8% from the field.
The Thunder’s double youngsters ushered in their own explosive period, but the double youngsters alone are not enough. The Thunder’s biggest harvest this season is the rise of Harden.
As the Thunder’s super sixth man, Harden averaged 16.8 points, 3.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1 steal in 31.4 minutes per game, shooting 49.1% from the field and 39% from the three-point range.
These statistics are all Harden’s career highs, and if Harden continues to maintain this performance, Harden may win the award for the best sixth man this season.
Not only statistics, Harden is also an excellent organizer. When Westbrook loses his mind or is too excited to play, Harden can always stand up to stabilize the situation and form a perfect complement to Westbrook.
This kind of performance makes the Thunder three officially worthy of the name. Their offensive firepower is comparable to the GDP of the Spurs, and their current record in the Western Conference is second only to the Spurs in the Western Conference. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Therefore, San Shao has already been called the young version of the Big Three.
Not only that, the Thunder also made several outstanding deals in the past two years, and Perkins bore the brunt.
His arrival provided the Thunder with the most-needed interior barrier, and the interior combination of him and Yin Baka is also sufficient to deal with most of today’s interiors. In addition, Sefolosha has grown into a gate of perimeter defense. He and Parkin The defensive formation formed by Si and Yin Baka is also very powerful, which makes the Thunder no longer a strong offensive and defensive team.
This summer, they also introduced a tall inside substitute Collison, and a veteran fisher with rich experience in the playoffs and finals.
This makes their lineup age structure more reasonable.
The record will not lie, the Thunder is already one of the favorites for the Western Conference championship at this time.
This also gave Durant some more ambitions, and defeating the Knicks is an important goal.
When the two teams met at the beginning of the season, Durant was absent due to injury, but this time, Durant is in good form, coupled with the anger of the All-Star being reversed, and the resentment that his goddess is a staunch supporter of Zuo Li, and the bet The honor of the season’s scoring champion, Durant vowed to beat Zuo Li in this game!
I have to say, very energetic!
And Zuo Li’s idea is very simple. Although he has won the scoring champion twice, no one thinks too much of this honor. Since the difference is only 0.1 point, there is no reason not to pursue it.
This is the 53rd game of the season, so as long as Zuo Li scores 6 points more than Durant in this game, Zuo Li will surpass Durant and become the scoring leader.
So since they are all scoring champions, it is unjustifiable to lose, right? Previous chapter table of contents bookmark back page
