"Hahahaha, of course you can, leave a place for me." O'Neal readily agreed to Zuo Li's invitation.
Although he himself does not yet know where his future lies or whether he will continue his career, he is very happy to train with Zuo Li in the summer.
Because after two or three years of precipitation, Zuo Li's training camp in New York has become the most dazzling existence every summer. All those who can participate are famous stars and potential rookies, as well as celebrities from all walks of life. This season, there are media in Statistics before the start of the playoffs show that 17 stars who made the playoffs participated in Zuoli’s training camp in New York in the summer. Although this has nothing to do with Zuoli, after all, there are too many factors for making the playoffs. But you can also see the quality of Zuoli training camp.
For O'Neal, a place to join in the fun and keep training is great.
For Zuo Li, O'Neal's presence is also very important for his improvement. Now, among the four major centers, only David Robinson and O'Neal have not trained with Zuo Li, although it may not necessarily bring much improvement to Zuo Li. , but it is also very good to find and fill in the gaps, and the learning experience is also very good, especially Ao Fatty, the most dominant man in history, it is impossible without two brushes.
But now is not the time to talk about details. After a brief chat between the two, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, Xiao Ao... A large number of people took turns to greet Zuo Li.
Finally, it was Rivers' turn after talking with D'Antoni. The chicken soup master didn't say anything unconvincing this time, and sincerely wished Zuo Li to defend the championship.
In a subsequent interview, Rivers said that the Knicks were the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in his coaching career.
Saying,,,.. edition. 】
"Yes, they are the strongest and the most powerful opponent we have ever encountered, even surpassing the Lakers. Many people think that these years are the encounter of the yellow-green era. In fact, the era of the Knicks is coming. "
Rivers' words are not a compliment. After all, the Celtics have been eliminated by the Knicks for three consecutive seasons. Judging from the results, this Knicks is no less than the one that suppressed the Bulls and Jordan for the Celtics. Three years of Pistons.
Compared to the Lakers who won in the 2008 Finals, the Knicks are undoubtedly more terrifying.
As for the era of the Knicks, it depends on how you understand this sentence. From the perspective of the championship, the Knicks are obviously not qualified, but judging from the shock that the Knicks have brought to everyone in the past three years, and the actual record, I would like to say something about the Knicks. The time is coming, and it doesn't seem too much.
After all, after sweeping the Celtics, the Knicks have entered the Eastern Conference finals for three consecutive seasons. This achievement has obviously created the best Knicks team history. At the same time, the Knicks are also in the East after the Celtics, Bulls and Pistons. The fourth team to reach the conference finals three years in a row.
This honor obviously has a certain dominance.
Of course, the Knicks' goals don't stop there. The division finals are also just one stop on their way to winning the championship. Their goal is very clear, that is, to defend the championship!
So at the press conference, Zuo Li did not deliberately create any suspense. Facing the reporter's question about the goal of the season, Zuo Li answered very simply: "Championship! Of course it is the championship! For us, only the championship is the only goal. ."

And if the goal is determined, then the opponent on the road to winning the championship is naturally them, and the issue that the outside world is most concerned about.
The finals are still far away, so people's attention is on the Eastern Conference finals.
"Zuo Li, which opponent do you want to face in the Eastern Conference finals?"
"Of course it's a bull." Zuo Li replied without thinking, "I really want to play against Ross, everyone knows it."
"Hahahaha" The reporters let out tacit laughter.
Zuo Li's choice is not difficult to understand. Compared with the Heat, Zuo Li is obviously closer to his fellow Ross, and the 2008 duo battle for hegemony in the Eastern Conference Finals is absolutely exciting.
And... in this season, besides the Heat fans, who doesn't want the Heat to be eliminated?
But Zuo Li immediately added: "But I think the Heat may go to the more dominant side."
The implication is that even though he prefers the Bulls to advance, he is more optimistic about the Heat.
Unlike the previous life, the Bulls did not collapse quickly after 11. Instead, they quickly adjusted their state after Miami lost the crucial G3. Rose had 28 points and 10 assists, Boozer had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Noah had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 6 rebounds. With assists and 3 blocks, the Bulls teamed up to score 48 points against the Biao Big Three, and finally took a difficult away victory in Miami to tie the total score to 22.
Compared to winning the first game in the previous life and being quickly defeated by the Heat grasping the weakness, the Bulls in this life are obviously doing better.
All of this is due to Rose's progress. Rose, who received Zuo Li's appearance in this life, has obviously increased his outside shooting training. In these few games, he can make 2.2 three-pointers per game, which is more than a half-star improvement compared to the previous life.
This also prevented the Heat from blocking the entire Bulls by strangling Zuo Li like in the previous life.
Everyone knows that in a fight with the Bulls, it is completely different from crushing Ross and not crushing Ross. The Heat were beaten by Ross in Game 4.
The fifth game Tianwangshan will return to the Bulls' home court, so in fact, the Bulls with a better regular season record than the Heat are the team that the outside world is more optimistic about at this time, so Zuo Li said this, it still caused people's controversy.
But Zuo Li has a reason for Zuo Li.
It is undeniable that Rose has improved and the chance of injury has decreased, but it is undeniable that his three-pointers are not stable enough. At the same time, it is undeniable that in addition to Rose, the Bulls also lack a finalized figure on the outside.
Korver is very much like Kerr in the Bulls now. Regardless of his good three-pointer and high shooting rate, he can't shoot without a big open position. Even if Peja is replaced, Zuo Li thinks that the Bulls have a chance to overturn the Heat.
But now, once Ross is inaccurate with three points, then the rhythm will still return to the hands of the Heat at this time. The big three who defend seriously are still very good. If Ross wants to kill the Heat, he needs a stronger helper.
However, Zuo Li didn't say anything to death. In case Rose can still maintain the state of the fourth game, in case the Heat will not block Rose for three points, and Zuo Li also really hopes that the Bulls will advance.
But unfortunately, Zuo Li's expectations did not come true. In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Bulls at home were still defeated.

The process of the game is exactly the same as Zuo Li predicted. The Heat have strengthened this time? Rose's long shot blockade, close pressing plus insider attack, outside delay, plus Chalmers, Wade and James three The big men took turns to defend, allowing Rose to make 0 of 6 outside the field.
Although he still scored 25 points, he shot just 35 percent from the field.
Such Ross naturally cannot lead his teammates, and the Heat won 8880 away.
The game also hit the Bulls' confidence. Two days later, on May 12, the Bulls failed to complete the redemption in Miami.
At 102100, the Bulls were unfortunately reversed by the Heat, and lost another game at their own home. They were eliminated by the Heat with a big score of 42.
The Heat successfully entered the Eastern Conference Finals!
