Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1047
Durant could not wait for his revenge in the end.
In the fourth quarter, Durant had serious physical problems and had to hand over most of the ball to Westbrook.
He only scored 4 points in this quarter.
Westbrook, who has been holding back for a long time, teamed up with Harden, who has been conscientious and insignificant, and scored 19 points in a single quarter.
However, it was too late.
Zuo Li, who scored 44 points in the first three quarters, still did not stop his pace. He continued to play steadily, taking both inside and outside, and scored 11 points in a single quarter.
In the end, the Knicks defeated the second-ranked Thunder in the Western Conference 109-98.
Zuo Li played for 48 minutes and made 21 goals in 28 shots, including 5 of 9 three-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. His shooting percentage was as high as 75%. He scored 55 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals. There were 4 fouls and 2 turnovers.
This is Zuo Li’s third 50+ game this season and the only 50+ game in the league.
And Durant played 40 minutes, made 34 shots and hit 10 goals, including 3 of 11 three-pointers and 11 of 15 free throws. He scored 34 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The shooting rate was only 29.4%, and there were 6 more times Turnover and 5 fouls.
Judging from the data, Zuo Li undoubtedly crushed Durant, and judging from the results, the Knicks always maintained the lead and finally won the victory smoothly. It can be said that the individual and the team won an overall victory.
Judging from Durant’s behavior of leaving the arena directly without accepting any interviews after the game, he also recognized it if he wanted to come.
Of course, according to what Thunder coach Brooks said, the main reason for Durant’s departure was that he was too physically exhausted and was a little out of strength, so he needed to return to Oklahoma in advance for further examination and recovery.
Ahem, to be honest, Brooks’ original intention is good, and the coach who protects the players is a qualified coach, but this reason is too ridiculous, and now the whole world knows that Durant is false.
But Brooks also said that after the game, he complained in front of the media that Durant received too much defensive action, which caused Durant’s hand feeling to decline.
“To be honest, I don’t know what the referee thinks. I think rough defense is not part of the game. We need to protect our players.” Brooks said.
However, Brooks’ words obviously did not get everyone’s approval. After all, Durant’s free throws were more than Zuo Li’s.
You must know that Durant only scored one goal in the penalty area throughout the game, and Zuo Li’s main play tonight is to hold the ball and make a strong breakthrough.
It is said that the defense Durant encountered was rough, so what about left standing.
Perkins and Ibaka bit Zuoli crazily throughout the game, and once they broke through, they would be double-teamed by more than three people. This kind of defense is no worse than what Durant encountered.
The two have different performances. It can only be said that there is indeed a gap between the two in strength.
After the game, Barkley said bluntly: “If Durant is unsolvable, then Zuo Li is beyond unsolvable. This game proved that Durant is very strong, but he still has weaknesses. His back is not strong enough. Poor confrontation, lack of double-team breaking ability, once encountering a strong defense, he will be at a loss.”
“As for Zuo Li, I don’t see any weakness in him. He can play inside and out, has excellent touch, outstanding golf intelligence, and lacks physical fitness. After the game, you can’t even tell that Zuo Li is a guy who plays all the time. ”
“So, don’t be convinced. Compared with the current Zuo Li, Durant still has a lot to improve.”
Barkley’s words have basically been approved by more than 90% of the fans. After all, the data will not lie.
What makes Zuo Li fans happy is that Zuo Li also completed his pre-match goal. After this game, Zuo Li officially became the scoring champion of this season.
“With 13 games left, Zuo Li is very likely to defend the scoring title. If he plays steadily, he will have the opportunity to become the first player in the new century to win the scoring title for three consecutive years.” Kenny said.
There are currently only three scoring champions in this century, namely Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant.
And there is no one in three consecutive times. If Zuo Li can keep it up, he will become the seventh player in history to win three consecutive scoring titles.
This honor is definitely full of gold for Zuo Li, who is in the fourth grade.
Now, many people think that Zuo Li has the taste of Jordan in the past. As the man with the most scoring champions, Jordan’s ten scoring champions have always been the ceiling. Many people think that Zuo Li may touch this record in the future.
Zuo Li himself didn’t think so far. After all, he still needs to continue to accumulate. Moreover, he is a 7-game scoring champion and a 3-game scoring champion. If he set his goals so high from the beginning, he might be exhausted.
After successfully surpassing the top scoring list, Zuo Li turned his attention to other lists. As a big center, he is also recognized as the league’s number one center by the outside world. It is unreasonable to be ranked second in the rebounding list.
So in the next few games, Zuo Li stepped up his efforts to protect the inside line. In the next four games, Zuo Li dominated the inside line, scoring 21, 20, 22 and 23 rebounds respectively, and averaging 16.1 rebounds per game. Overtake Love by 1 rebound to come first.
However, many Zuo Hei feel that Zuo Lisheng is not good at winning. After all, Love has missed many games due to injury. According to Love’s state this season, if he deliberately goes for it, he may really be able to get a high number of rebounds.
However, Love himself immediately posted on his INS, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com said that Zuo Li’s rebounding king is genuine, there is nothing false, and he will continue to learn from Zuo Li.
I have to say that Love’s emotional intelligence is full, and these words quickly won the favor of many fans.
In other words, Love’s EQ seems to be online all the time. Whether he was sprayed with data in the Timberwolves or blamed the two big guys in the Cavaliers, he didn’t express anything.
The most typical is the record that was forcibly terminated by Ou Shenxian back then. In the first quarter of that game, Love was overwhelmed and scored 34 points in a single quarter. Seeing that Love was about to break Thompson’s record in this game, the whole team was giving Love made the ball, but Irving refused to pass the ball, deliberately sabotaged himself with the ball and hit three consecutive shots, which caused Love to miss the record.
But Love endured it and spoke for Irving after the game. I have to say that he is indeed a good team.
However, there is nothing to discuss about Zuo Li’s rebounds. After all, 6.5 of Zuo Li’s average rebounds per game are offensive rebounds. How many teammates’ rebounds are squeezed, but the opponent’s rebounds are squeezed.
This kind of performance can be shaken by a few black people with a few sour words.
In this way, Zuo Li once again completed the dominance of the three rankings, scoring, rebounding, and blocks were once again occupied by Zuo Li at the same time.
After a lapse of one year, Zuo Li once again proved his height and comprehensiveness to people.
Zuo Li’s fans cheered and said: “This Zuo Li is the same, why hasn’t he made any progress at all!”
