Chapter 361： Attack on Sixty Wins

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

108-88, the Knicks beat the Magic by 20 points at home.

Next month they have four games in Orlando, which is the Magic's last chance to save the situation.

But even if the Knicks lost the last time, the fans were extremely satisfied. From 0-4 last season to 2-1 this season, even if it was 2-2 in the end, it has proved the strength of the Knicks.

Howard left the court angrily after the game. This game undoubtedly cast a shadow over his smooth 2008-09 season. There is no need to deny it. After this game, Zuo Li completely dominated the confrontation with him. got the upper hand.

But compared with simply defeating the magic, Zuo Li is undoubtedly more excited by the increase in combat power brought by the rise in confrontation. This game proves that the confrontation of 99, in one-on-one, is no longer afraid of the league's super inside line. Undoubtedly, Zuoli's playoff journey has added a heavy weight.

When interviewed after the game, Zuo Li was visibly happy. Not only did he take the initiative to accept more questions, but he also thoughtfully asked if he needed a few more questions.

The reporters thought that Zuo Li was too happy because he beat Howard. After all, it is not easy to win the first center. It is the first time to be able to suppress Howard's data to this point, and it is indeed something to be happy about.

"If only Zuo Li could be interviewed like this every night." The silly little Han Xue smirked after looking at the thick material.

As everyone knows, Zuo Li is not only for one Howard, but "thousands" of Howards in the future!

At this time, the outside world just thought that Zuo Li was in a state of bursting tonight, and they didn't know that this would be Zuo Li's normal state. By then, there might have been a **** storm on the rivers and lakes.

However, the lack of outside attention is also related to another thing, that is, after this game, the Knicks have won a record of 57 wins and 16 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference with 9 games left.

Leaving aside the rankings for the time being, this thing needs to be known after 9 games, and people are obviously concerned about the record.

Many fans may not be very sensitive to 57 wins, but 60 wins are not far from it, and fans who know a little about penalty kicks will understand its significance.

Someone once said that 60 wins is the certification of the era's dominance.

This sentence is basically true.

In a word, there are many teams with 60 wins in history. There are actually very few teams with more than 60 wins each season. In many cases, the limit is 3-4 teams in a season, and in few cases, there are even no teams in a season. .

At the same time, teams with more than 60 wins are often related to the championship that season, and many records of more than 60 wins are even the peak of a team's history.

60 wins may be only one or two times for many teams, and the Lakers have only 12 at most in history.

Take the Knicks as an example. They have only two 60-plus wins in a single season in their history, one in the Ewing era and one in the 1970s when they won the championship.

But it can also be found that 60 wins are undoubtedly linked to the stars.

The Green Army and the Lakers have brought countless superstars in the league, and the dynasty matchup created by the two teams is even more ancient, and they have also created two teams with the most 60 wins in the league.

The Bulls' 60 wins have branded the Bulls dynasty and Jordan's mark.

The Spurs, from David Robinson to the GDP combination, certainly cannot forget a leader - Coach Popovich.

Julius Irving and Chamberlain let the Sixers have their names on the table.

The Bad Boys and the Pistons each brought 60 wins as a team.

The Bucks have been away from the ranks of strong teams for many years, but 3 of the 4 60 wins have been marked by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Barkley has brought 60 wins once, and the other two are the crystallization of the more admired Nash Stoudemire combination and the small ball storm.

Jazz Shuangsha, Jerry Sloan, wonderful and bitter memories of Utah fans.

And the glory of Dallas - Dirk Nowitzki.

Princeton's king, Chris Webb, will never be forgotten.

Supersonic twins Peyton Kemp, that was Seattle's most glorious moment...

Every 60 wins is engraved in the memory of a generation of fans.

So being able to get 60 wins is also an important moment in the star's career, and no one can refuse such a moment.

Therefore, people's attention at this time is also natural.

Moreover, 4 teams have a chance to reach 60 wins this season, namely the Western Lakers, Eastern Cavaliers, Knicks and Celtics. Three of them are veteran teams from last season, and only the Knicks suddenly killed like a comet. out, taking away most of the people's attention.

So even with 59 wins, James, who is only one step away from 60 wins, has not received as much attention as the Knicks and Zuo Li.

Of course, this may also be because the gap between Grameen and New York is really too big.

At present, 57 wins is already among the top five in the history of the Knicks, and now the Knicks have a real chance to move towards 60 wins.

And all of this was brought about by the rookie Zuo Li, how could it not be surprising.

Moreover, Zuo Li is a single-core leader, or a single-core leader as a rookie. At present, this record can be said to have reached the forefront of history. Anyway, one of the current superstars is counted as one No one has led the team to such a result in his rookie season, and it can even be said to be the first in history. Even a player like Magic cannot match Zuo Li's ability to lead the team.

Howard needs to thank the Knicks for a wave of record, which made the news that he was dunked by Zuo Li only ranked second on the news list after the game...

Heck, it's still not that good.

People are obviously more concerned about whether the Knicks can get 60 wins!

Of course, 60 wins doesn't mean everything, such as the Houston Rockets, it's hard to believe that so far they haven't reached 60 wins in a season in team history, but they have won two championships.

And more 60-win teams have mostly fallen on the big stage of the playoffs. For example, the best regular-season record in the past 5 years is 67 wins. What accompanies it is not the glory of the championship but the embarrassing best in history. Black eight.

That sort of thing happens almost every season in the NBA.

60 wins is just a sublimation performance of a team, followed by 59 wins and 58 wins. This kind of season with a similar record may also be too much researched by opponents due to injuries, and it cannot reach 60 wins.

So the regular season record does not mean everything. The 82 regular season games are like homework, practice and quizzes in our third year of high school.

So when asked about the topic of 60 wins, Zuo Li said: "No matter how well you have done before, the most important thing is to be based on the present."

In fact, Zuo Li wanted to say, don't milk, don't milk, it's not too late to wait until you get 60 wins. Are you talking about trying to milk us to death!

really!

Facing the Nuggets with their backs at home, the Knicks unfortunately lost 104-111, ending their winning streak.
