Chapter 596： "I'm not interested in records...I've never been..."

"Say what? He destroyed us, it's that simple." After the game, Popovich, whose expression had recovered, told reporters.

There is no doubt that the Spurs became the background plate of the left standing in this game, with 47 points in the half, 50 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in the whole game, so that the Spurs surrendered after only halftime.

Although they may be investigated by the league and even fined for being benched too early.

At that time, the Knicks' leading score was "only" 21 points. Generally, the team will struggle in the third quarter, especially the Spurs, who were considered to be the representative of never-say-die in the league before. The Spurs have clearly exceeded people's expectations again tonight, having completed many performances against the sky.

But Popovich's explanation is also very simple, that is, they would rather eat a fine than let them lose their confidence.

The outside world also felt that Bobo made an extremely correct decision, because let alone a comeback, the theme of tonight would not be this anyway. Zuo Li was obviously unable to stop it. Seven three-pointers in the half, 75% If you go on like this, let alone 70 points, 80 points are also possible. Maybe you will break a three-point record and a hit rate record by the way. At that time, the Spurs will really be unable to escape, just like the Raptors.

This is too bad for the playoffs, so Popo would rather lose to stop Zuo Li Chaoshen.

In fact, Zuo Li thinks that the Spurs don't need to be so cautious. At the beginning, McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes did not defeat them, and maybe not this time. You have to believe in the psychological quality of your players!

Zuo Li guarantees that this is definitely not a suggestion full of resentment because you can't score a higher score!

However, such Spurs are more difficult to deal with. Zuo Li looks forward to the day when Spurs become his official opponent.

...

Beating the Spurs not only allowed Zuo Li to continue to refresh his single-season record of 50+, but also brought the Knicks the best 60 games in team history.

After playing this season, the Knicks have officially played 60 games this season, and the Knicks have won 54 wins and 6 losses, leading the Cavaliers by 7 games, ranking first in the league.

This record is undoubtedly the best in the history of the Knicks, and at the same time, it has already established a playoff position in advance.

Of course, according to the strength of the Eastern Conference teams over the years, the Knicks have basically determined the top four positions in the Eastern Conference.

I have to say that this era is really good in the East. There are only two or three strong teams, and other teams are basically unable to make a move. This is an era where you can enter the playoffs in the East without a 50% win rate. Said, the Knicks rise just in time.

If the Knicks are in the West, everyone knows how introverted the West is in this era. It is common for the Knicks to not make the playoffs with a 50% win rate, and the strong teams are like forests. Standing out from the playoffs is like a peeling skin. , except for a really bad team like the Timberwolves, from the first to the 12th, they can play a dozen times and wrestle with the strong teams.

So even if Zuo Li did not join the Knicks and went to the West at this time, it would be almost impossible to play such records and statistics, and he would have to face unpredictable injuries that may be caused by fatigue.

"The East is really a good place to level up." Zuo Li was filled with emotion after seeing the record. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to challenge the Bulls' record in his second season!

Of course, it's just a challenge, it's impossible to do at all. The Knicks don't have such a lasting ability at present. On the contrary... For the playoffs, it's time for the Knicks to let it go. Don't rush for the record. Whoever gets hurt will lose money.

However, 60 wins still have to be impacted. The Knicks have never had 60 wins for two consecutive seasons. Zuo Li is also determined to create this new history.

The process of getting 55 wins went more smoothly than expected. On February 20, the Knicks, who had rested for two days, sat at home and faced the Bucks who had swept the previous three times. This was also the last time the two teams played against each other this season.

The result is naturally no suspense. The Knicks easily defeated their opponents 112-95. Zuo Li scored 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

There was no noise in the whole game, and Jennings didn't say anything to take revenge, because everyone knew that the two were not on the same level, and provocation at this time can only be said to be stupid....

Ok? Muting doesn't seem to help.

On February 22, the Knicks went to the away game to play against the Celtics. Although the Celtics were not in a good condition at this time, the team was on a losing streak and its record plummeted. Currently, it only has 40 wins and is third in the Eastern Conference, but it is only 40 wins. The Magic were one game ahead, and the latter could overtake him at any time, in stark contrast to their strength at the start of the season.

But in this game, they defeated the Knicks, ending the Knicks' winning streak and their own losing streak.

The main reason is that the Knicks were too tough in this game. The whole team was in general state. It seemed that they were not adaptable to the away game after playing at home for too long. As a result, they fell behind by 14 points at halftime, and finally lost 98-90 with 8 points.

However, this did not end the Knicks' confidence. They quickly regained confidence in the weak Wizards. Jamison was gone, and the Wizards were completely cold, 135-88, a big victory.

Eight Knicks players scored in double figures. Zuo Li only played 2 quarters and scored 14 points and 8 rebounds. The season's double-double was broken again, making fans angry with the Wizards. The dishes are done, doesn't this delay things!

Zuo Li didn't care. He took the initiative to rest in this game... The two-double is almost enough. No one really cares. What he cares about is that after this game, the Knicks are one step closer to 60 wins.

Even if it weren't for only 28 days in February, the Knicks have a chance to complete 60 wins in February, the first time since the Bulls.

So much so that D'Antoni left a very classic quote in an interview: "Records? I never look at records! I'm not interested in records, you know! I never touch records, I only know as long as I do well myself work, the record will naturally be good!”

audience:"……"

reporter:"……"

Zuo Li: "???"

Good guy, it turns out to be you, Mr. Ma! So you have also crossed? !

It's a pity that there is no legal program host next to him, otherwise the effect of this program is estimated to be unmatched in 15 years.

No one can beat him now. As soon as D'Antoni's remarks came out, they were intercepted by fans and circulated on the Internet. The YouTube tube exploded in an instant, even more popular than Zuo Li's personal highlights. This fire has also burned abroad, Europe and Asia. Soon no one knows...

People said: "So you are such a handsome man!"

Many people started to play memes, and D'Antoni broke the circle like this... and even advertisers came to him to endorse.

David Lee is full of resentment, thinking that he has played hard for so many years, and he has only just become famous. He has also been endorsed this season, but D'Antoni has directly endorsed him as a coach!

"It can only be said that things are unpredictable... Play well, and strive to have a chance to break the circle in the future." Zuo Li comforted David Li.
