"Zuo Li, please allow me to call you your nickname, King, your performance tonight was really brave."
On the sidelines, the reporter from the New York Sports News was the first to get the right to ask questions. After all, it is his own person. The New York Sports News also spared no effort to promote Zuo Li. Zuo Li's popularity in New York is inseparable from the continuous coverage of the New York Sports News.
And the reporter's younger brother also reciprocated, directly praised him, and took out Zuo Li's fame in the streetball circle.
You must know that the nickname Zuo Li is still very loud in the streetball circle. Although Zuo Li has not appeared in the streetball circle very much for so many years, his legends are everywhere on the streets. After all, Zuo Li’s fortune is really fast. Victory over Bones within two months, Professor, Tyrone and Alston's record is also very sturdy, at least now no one can shake his position in the streetball circle.
But in the mainstream basketball world, it will not work. After all, Zuo Li has not entered the NBA. This nickname is too big. Even James can only be a little emperor. After so many years in the NBA, he is still a little emperor. It's not good to directly rank elders, so Zuo immediately downplayed his intentions, and no one mentioned it anymore.
But in this case, turning around and looking at the data of Zuo Li on the big screen doesn't seem to be wrong.
"Generally brave, people who have watched my game know that this is a routine operation, calm and calm, everyone sit down and talk." Zuo Li calmly motioned everyone to sit down, and the appearance of playing tricks also caused laughter from the media.
Although Zuo Li has not received many interviews, reporters are very willing to interview him. The main reason is that Zuo Li is very funny, and he can always say something to enhance the atmosphere. Not only that, Zuo Li also knows the timing very well. In the world, blind humility is not enough, they do not have the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
So when it should explode, it must explode, and when it should be hard, it must be hard!
Cough, I want to open the browser myself, don't forget to come back.
And the media also likes this. This is called news. It’s just humility and worth seeing.
And today Zuo Li didn't let them down. Facing the second reporter's question about the obvious difference between the first and second half, Zuo Li glanced at the reporter in disbelief: "Wow, you didn't notice that I did it so obviously, too. Disappointing."
"Yes, the first half was our tactic, I decided with Stephen and the coach together, we wanted them to ignore us, obviously, they did think we couldn't, and our teammates stood up, obviously, they did, Proud of them, they are all excellent players, scouts can consider them." Zuo Li hasn't forgotten to advertise for his teammates.
The reporter who got the affirmative answer gave way with satisfaction. The tactical master on the court, the talented monster who plays with his brain, and the hero behind the play of North Carolina, what a great news.
And ESPN's question is more practical, and it's about the finals, of course.
"Who do you think Memphis and who will be your opponents next?"
This question is easy to answer. Although Zuo Li personally hopes to play against Westbrook to see if he is as funny as the legends of later generations, it is clear that Ross, who is still in the opening stage, will not agree.
Strictly speaking, Memphis' victory was also an upset. In terms of lineup, the Four Kings, Westbrook and Carrefour's dual-core inside and outside are definitely stronger than Memphis, but God obviously still prefers Ross.
So Zuo Li replied without thinking, "Memphis, they have Ross."
This sentence is very simple, but it can't stand the media's fueling, especially when the result of the game is really as Zuo Li predicted, the dispute between Zuo Li and Ross is staged again.
The original Zuo Li's prediction let Westbrook know that this outspoken guy told the media that he wanted to touch Zuo Li in the finals and let Zuo Li, a New Yorker, know how powerful they are in Los Angeles.
Zuo Lixin said that you are not from Los Angeles either. Why did you even change your household registration when you went to school there? You thought you were in the Great Celestial Dynasty.
But before Zuo Li was refuted by the media the next day, it turned over just like in history.
Of course, the responsibility is not on Westbrook. In the Elite 8 victory over Xavier, Loew scored a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds. Cameroon's little prince Baamot also sent 13 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. data. At the same time, two point guards scored in double figures, Westbrook scored 17 points, and Collison scored 19 points.
But in the match in Memphis, only Westbrook played normally. , all kinds of strong dunks.
In the end, Rose was even better, with 25 points and 9 rebounds, and Westbrook's 22 points were not too much.
But unfortunately, in the future, the NBA will pass by in a hurry. Currently Memphis' top scorer, C. D. Roberts scored 28 points, and also deducted Love in the game. As the most disappointing person in this game, Love Fu scored 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in only 4 of 12 shots.
Regrettably stopped in the top 4, Westbrook also missed the opportunity to face Zuo Li.
But after the game, the lost Westbrook didn't forget to call Zuo Li to meet again in the NBA Zuo Li didn't take it seriously.
"When you go in, I'll already be a boss." The one-year gap is sometimes so big, Zuo Li decided to teach Westbrook an education class.
But now, it's time to consider the opponents in the final.
Ross, as long as he is a rookie in 2008, he can't get around the name. No matter who he is, he will come up with it and compete with Rossby. Even the two who entered last year, Oden and Durant are the same, not to mention the later ones.
Like Zuo Li, Ross, who is one year older than Zuo Li but who is in high school at the same time, has an excellent high school career.
In four years of high school, Ross made his alma mater the first high school team in local history in Chicago to win the Illinois State Championship for two consecutive years. In the season they defended, Ross led the team to an amazing record of 33 wins and 1 loss. . The four-year record is 120 wins and 12 losses.
Except for Zuo Li, no one else has the slightest advantage over Ross.
So since high school, Zuo Li and Ross have been constantly compared with each other, but unfortunately, the two have only played against each other twice in official high school games. Zuo Li won both games, but Ross averaged 28.5 points and 8.5 assists in two games. Brave, at that time the two were still directly facing each other, Zuo Li only had a slight advantage in the data, and he didn't take advantage of it defensively.
The two have always ranked the top two in this year's draft list, and the competition is also very fierce, even greater than last year's battle between Durant and Oden.
The media and fans are also happy to compare the two together, but they are in different positions due to the lack of direct confrontation.
This time in the finals, it was the first time they met in college.
The meeting is the final, no wonder the media and fans are crazy.
"Who is the strongest newcomer in 2008!"
