Chapter 282： 3 consecutive games of Twenty + Twenty

Excessive indeed!

The Wizards' home fans couldn't bear to watch it. The two sides were not on the same level as a whole, especially the inside line. It was simply not defensive.

Throughout the game, the mentality of the Wizards fans experienced a change from 'excited waiting' to 'helpless' to 'life without love'.

The triple jump belongs to yes.

Finally lost 31 points, Wizards fans are numb.

After the game, fans watching the game at the stadium complained about the league, thinking that this kind of back-to-back fight against one opponent in two consecutive games is too inhumane!

We have to let us slow down for a few days, too!

Losing so much in two games, who can stand it!

In this regard, the alliance said that it will accept it humbly, and will dare to…

When arranging this schedule, the original plan was to have a zero-to-zero, just like 24 to 23, to engage in a small-scale star confrontation.

But who knows, the Wizards' No. 0 has been pulled, and they can't come back after being injured for so long. The Knicks have turned into phoenixes, so they can only accept such a tragedy.

The Wizards protested with grief and indignation. The Knicks had a good time here, and getting back on the right track allowed the Knicks to regain their vitality and fighting spirit.

Even some veteran players have begun to practice more consciously, not to mention those players who have ideas for the position and the playoffs.

Harrington, for example, came here with the mentality that if he can't do it, he'll just follow suit, but now, he has begun to practice extra to compete for playing time.

The same is true of Larry Hughes, the old prince of the nightclub. He didn't go to the nightclub. In the morning, he went to Zuoli's apartment and asked Zuoli to train together.

Although he wasn't worried about the position, he knew that general manager Donny Walsh had been communicating with Zuo Li and D'Antoni to strengthen the team's 3 and backcourt, which made Larry Hughes feel the pressure .

The reason is naturally because the Knicks are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference, not only this season is promising to make a difference in the playoffs, but the next few seasons will be even more delicious, because Zuo Li is a rookie, the Knicks even Have enough cap space to make a big deal in these big fish-filled summers.

As a veteran at the end of his career, neither Larry Hughes nor Harrington want to leave the Knicks.

What's more, the atmosphere of the Knicks is very good. Zuo Li is young and energetic, and treats people well. Although the training field is strict, everyone is good brothers off the field. Leave.

Zuo Li is very satisfied with the current structure of the team. According to his memory, it is difficult to make a difference in the trading market during this period. As for the summer, it is still early, so it is better to maintain the status quo. very critical.

…

On January 17, the Knicks continued their Eastern Conference road trip, this time in Philadelphia.

The current situation of the 76ers is OK, and Iguodala has gradually found the feeling of being the boss, and they can currently rank No. 6 in the East.

It's just that they have the same problem as the Wizards, that is, the inside line is weak, so this game is unfortunate, and they also followed in the footsteps of the Wizards.

With 21 points and 21 rebounds, Zuo Li scored 20+20 again. After the game, the two insiders of the 76ers, Dalem Potter and Reggie Evans, had their eyes in circles, and they were completely beaten by Zuo Li. closed!

From the very beginning, Dragic missed a three-pointer, but Zuo Li inserted from the flank and dunked the ball into the frame with Dalem Potter in the air. Slaughter Bureau'.

In fact, Zuo Li didn't take many shots tonight. After all, the opponent's state was average. He scored a two-pointer in the first 6 shots, and Iguodala's dunks could bounce off, so Zuo Li focused on making the ball for his teammates. 14 shots.

But he hit 9 goals and scored 21 points with ease. As for rebounds, the 76ers who made iron can be said to be fully supplied. Zuoli grabbed 9 offensive rebounds, and 21 of them dominated the interior.

The only thing the 76ers can be happy about is that they only lost by 19 points, so much better than the Wizards...

After the game, Zuo Li once again became a news figure. After all, he scored 20+20 in three consecutive games, becoming another insider who has achieved such achievements after Chamberlain, Russell and other ancient super insiders.

More importantly, after these three games, Zuo Li's average rebounds per game also officially increased from 14.8 to 15, further widening the gap with Howard, who averaged 13.8 times per game behind him.

It seems that it is only an improvement of 0.2, but it is actually a qualitative leap.

In the NBA, the ability to average 15 rebounds per game is called a rebounding monster. The biggest reason why Howard's rebounding ability is not ranked high in history is that he has not averaged more than 15 rebounds per game in one season in his career.

As a rookie Zuo Li, although the season is not over yet, it is not easy to hit this number halfway.

What's more difficult is that Zuoli's offensive rebounds average 6.8 times per game. Although it is less than half, this number is already very good. It is three times more than the second-placed Howard, which is enough to prove Zuoli's aggression. sex.

Based on this, ESPN's Gill believes that Zuo Li's current rebounds are not his limit.

"Obviously, Zuo Li is the best rebounder in the league right now. His jumping is high enough and his arms are huge, which makes him invincible in the interior. It is difficult to get a rebound out of the penalty area of ​​the Knicks."

"Averaging 15 rebounds per game is good enough, but I have to say that this is not his limit. In fact, Zuo Li has made enough sacrifices for the team, or in other words, Zuo Li still has room for improvement."

Gil's meaning is obvious. The Knicks now rank first in the league in rebounds per game. Except for Zuo Li, Randolph averaged 6.7 per game and David Lee 6 per game. This is also the most important factor for the Knicks in their current position. The inside line is too strong.

So Zuoli sometimes doesn't compete for every rebound, and some backcourt boards can't be left without Zuoli.

According to Gill's theory, if Zuo Li was more selfish, such as finding a few great gods to help the board, breaking 17 minutes per game would not be a problem This is not unreasonable, but Zuo Li doesn't care, so he struggles. In terms of rebounding in the backcourt, he prefers to use this kind of thing to rush to the frontcourt to find out if there are opportunities for fast breaks. This is the biggest reason why Zuo Li doesn't grab that kind of backcourt boards.

And they all belong to the same team. Why did Zuo Li grab all the data of his teammates? Is it necessary?

On the other hand, Zuo Li agrees with Jill's last sentence, that is, he still has room for improvement!

"Of course, I haven't even complained about the league's great rebounder, no, I have visited." Zuo Li thinks this is not good. Recently, he has been harassing guards frantically. There are really few center stars, especially Known for basketball.

It's raining and dew!

After all, he is still a center. Although he is an atypical center, he does the work of a center.

Zuo Li felt that it was time for another wave.

And two days later, the opportunity came...
