Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 564 The Knicks have a great harvest

What nba stars fear most is not retirement or injury, but forgetting.

Many people don't want to be forgotten by the fans after they retire, because forgetting means that they have no means of living.

You must know that the salary of NBA players in the past was not as high as it is now. In addition, when they were athletes, they were squandered, raised a lot of children, and there were various divorces and illegitimate children. There were countless bankrupt stars.

Historical superstars such as Magic, Bird, Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are okay. Their glory as a player was so dazzling that they left behind various records and famous scenes that are hard to forget. But some ordinary All-Stars are just like that.

It’s different.

They are neither good nor bad players. They played well as players and were very popular. However, due to various reasons, they cannot reach the heights of players like Jordan and Magic. When they retire, you will find that although they have literary talents

, but used to living a luxurious life and being accustomed to the warmth of the spotlight, it is difficult to integrate into the lives of ordinary people.

At this time, being in the NBA circle is the best retirement life, but if you are forgotten, then unfortunately, you will not be able to stay in this circle.

The simplest example is that before Reid in 2000, the Bucks had an excellent leader who also averaged 206 per game. His name was Vin Baker. Can anyone still remember him?

Even if it is Reed, how many people will be able to remember it in the future?

The NBA is so cruel. Why do more and more so-called celebrities in future generations keep talking nonsense in front of the media and even actively create conflicts? To put it bluntly, it is just to make themselves reappear in front of the public and be remembered.

Therefore, Michael Jordan's remarks about Zuo Li are already the greatest compliment for most players.

Of course, for Zuo Li, who is determined to have a bigger and broader future, simply being remembered is not something he should be happy about. After all, he cannot be forgotten based on last season alone.

So as Jordan's biggest fan, Barkley secretly expressed that Michael felt threatened.

The fans laughed happily, but in a few years, they will probably seriously think: Barkley is right!

Zuo Li's streak of 40 consecutive games was still stuck at 15. On February 4, the Knicks played their third game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. The Knicks lost this game very simply. They resisted for half a game and were defeated in the third quarter.

A wave of 18-5 took them away, and finally it was 108-84, a loss of 24 points, and the winning streak was ended.

Zuo Li finished the game with 18 points and 8 rebounds. Not only was his 40th consecutive game ended, but he also recorded the number of consecutive double-doubles at the start of the game.

Of course, Zuo Li was not surprised by such a performance. In the past 15 consecutive games, which spanned more than a month, not only him, but also the rest of the team had reached their limits. In this game, he simply played only 24 minutes.

He took a break and did not seek to further expand his record, nor did he pay attention to the crazy clamor of the Cavaliers' home fans.

"It's time to take a rest. We need to set our sights further afield." After the game, Zuo Li's words could be regarded as the conclusion of this 40-year career in full swing.

The outside world generally expresses understanding. After all, Zuo Li's record is brilliant enough. Even Chamberlain has surpassed it. It is unlikely that there will be any opponents in the next few decades, leaving some hope for others to surpass him.

Of course, fans of the Cavaliers and LeBron James are proud. James played well in this game, with 33 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. Therefore, some LeBron James fans said that Zuo Li was very lucky. If he had played against the Cavaliers in the last game, his record would have been earlier.

It was ended.

Zuo Li will not pay attention to this kind of remarks. After all, if you add "if" to something, it will immediately change its flavor. This word is only suitable for people who like to entertain themselves.

But just one day later, Cavaliers fans could no longer laugh, because the NBA officially announced the best player in the East and West in January. Zuo Li, who had been the best player in the East for 11 and 12 months, averaged 42.8 points, 15.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in a single month.

With 5.4 blocks and 0.8 steals, he led the team to an impressive record of 14 wins and 1 loss in a single month, and was undoubtedly the best player in the Eastern Conference for three consecutive months.

Although poor Lao Zhan has good statistics, he is still severely suppressed in the second position. This is the third consecutive month that he has been ranked second.

After hearing the news, Lao Zhan's happiness of ending Zuo Li's record was diluted a lot. He had a hunch that he wouldn't be able to win the best of the month this season. How could he compete for mvp!

No, the data still needs to be refreshed, no, it still needs to increase!

So Lao Zhan called his agent's phone number...

At this time, Zuo Li was discussing with D'Antoni about increasing the playing time and number of shots for substitute players in the next games before the All-Star Game.

"Coach, I was too tired from playing before. I just want to take this time to recuperate and prepare for the All-Star Game!"

"Well, I think it's okay too!" D'Antoni nodded approvingly.

What a good player. Other stars are thinking about how to improve their statistics and show their faces. Look at Zuo Li, he is simply a role model among stars!

"But don't relax too much, you still have to prepare for the All-Stars." D'Antoni added.

In D'Antoni's eyes, this year's All-Stars are simply tailor-made for Zuo Li. The right time, place, and people are all occupied. It would be better if he doesn't show up now. Although last year's All-Star Zuo Li was enough to show up, this year,

There are clearly better opportunities!

"Yeah! I will! Don't worry, coach!" When it comes to the upcoming All-Stars, Zuo Li is inevitably gearing up. Yes, he has been looking forward to this year's All-Stars for a long time.

Unlike last year, the Knicks have had a great harvest this year. In addition to Zuo Li, who was previously announced as the top vote-getter, the Knicks also have many people selected for this trip to Dallas.

The first is of course Randolph. As a legacy from last year, Randolph was finally selected to the All-Star reserve team this year. This is also the first time that Randolph has been selected.

On the afternoon when he got the news, Randolph shed more than 400 kilograms of tears, crying like a 200 kilogram fat man. The prodigal son turned back, and he finally waited for this day.

At the same time, D'Antoni naturally became the coach of the All-Star Eastern Conference. D'Antoni was very calm. After all, it was not the first time.

In addition, Curry, Danny Green, and Beverley were selected into the first-year rookie team, which is also the most among all 30 teams. In addition, Zuo Li was selected into the second-year team, and there were as many as three rookie Senix.

Players participate.

After hearing the news, the three little ones were happy and hopeless at the same time. How could they fight the boss on the other side...

In addition, as the defending champion, Zuo Li naturally participated in the slam dunk contest and the skills contest. What is surprising is that Zuo Li was also invited to participate in the three-point contest, becoming the only player to participate in all three!

When seeing the list, people unconsciously thought of what Zuo Li said in an interview before the All-Star Game ended last season: "Maybe I will participate in the three-point contest!"

A year later, isn’t this coming?
