The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 749 Regret is inevitable, Dayao's swan song

It is of course expected that the Knicks can win 9 consecutive victories against the Timberwolves. The strength gap between the two teams has been as deep as the Mariana Trench in the past two years.

Surprisingly, Timberwolves' head star Kevin Love, the double-double king who has risen in the past two seasons, has won double-doubles in eight consecutive games before that, and the outside world regards him as the successor of the wolf king Garnett People, Timberwolves fans regard him as the hope of the Timberwolves' revival, and many people think that he will lead the Timberwolves to reproduce the strength of the Timberwolves in the early 00s.

Although the record in these two seasons has not improved much, it is generally believed that the Timberwolves lack a qualified outside line, just like Marbury who was next to the Wolf King. Although Marbury later became a famous player in the CBA, it is undeniable that, Marbury did a really good job in the Timberwolves.

So now all Timberwolves fans are waiting for Rubio, and many people think that Love plus Rubio has a chance to become the original wolf king plus Marbury.

However, in this game, Love's double-double was cut off directly, and it was still in a crushed posture, which made many fans wonder: Can Love really reproduce the glory of the Timberwolves.

Of course not!

Zuo Li was not surprised at all that he was able to blow up Love. Love's technical characteristics are too obvious. He is a typical space-based insider, and his offense is definitely greater than his defense.

Everyone understands defense, and it is incomparable with Wolf King.

Wolf King Garnett's defense was very good at his peak, and he is an inside player with his own defensive system.

In terms of versatility, Garnett is also better.Although there are many all-round players in the history of the NBA, if you want your five basic statistics of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks to all be ranked in the top 5 in the NBA's historical individual data rankings, in the entire NBA history , There is only one person, and that is Garnett.

加内特长达21年的NBA球员生涯中，他的场均数据是17.8分10板3.7助1.3断1.4帽。由于加内特拥有一个漫长的职业生涯，再加上加内特自身出色的场均数据表现，因此当加内特最终宣布退役的时候，他的5项生涯数据也是顺利进入历史榜单的前50位。

The only thing that can be compared is the offense.

Many people think that Garnett's offense is not as good as Love, because Love often scored 30+ stats during the Timberwolves period.

However, why Love was not so eye-catching in the Cavaliers after that is because his scoring method is not what an inside core should do.

In the past few years in the Timberwolves, Love mainly has three offensive methods. One is the three-pointer, which is mainly three-pointers after the pick-and-roll and 45-degree catch three-pointers. The second is to attack with the ball near the free throw line. The third is the offense at the basket, mainly the second offense of the offensive rebound and the deep position in the penalty area and then a small throw.

Offensive skills are just that, there are very few Alder-like turnaround jumpers on Love (even at the peak Love's mid-range shooting rate is less than 30%), Love is not proficient in the inside footsteps, and Love's three-pointers caused Eliminates the illusion that he is a versatile offensive player.

In his peak season, Love scored 7 points for free throws, 8 points for the basket, 6 points for three-pointers, 5 points for mid-range shots, and more points for mid-range shots than inside. It's not like a tough boss who fights hand to hand.

At the critical moment, Love couldn't score.

Such a player is definitely a jigsaw puzzle for a team to win the championship. It is best to be the second in command, but it is fine as the core. Anyway, in Zuo Li's heart, he looks like a big David Lee.

On the left side, facing such an insider who likes to float out, the offense can be played casually, and the defense can make him very uncomfortable. Coupled with the Knicks' increasingly powerful defensive system and very targeted defense, Love's performance is not surprising.

On the contrary, Love himself is very optimistic. After all, it is not the first day he has known Zuo Li, and he also likes Zuo Li's style of play very much. Although he lost today and broke his double-double, he still expressed his feelings to Zuo Li after the game. congratulate.

"As a benchmark among rookies, I have always aimed at left standing. He is already one of the best players in the league. It is not surprising that I lost to him." Love said after the game.

And Zuo Li is a bit embarrassed, Love doesn't know, in fact, this time it is not just eight consecutive double-doubles, if there is no Zuo Li, he can win 34 consecutive double-doubles this season, which is now broken by Zuo Li, I don't know if I can still have it.

But after thinking about it, the double-double record has already been broken by him. In the first season, he had a double-double in the whole season, and 33 games are just a little bit better. It is good to be ranked in the top five. Zuo Li is relieved .

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Knicks still haven't encountered a decent challenge.

On November 11, the Knicks played away against their tenth opponent of the season, the Houston Rockets.

The game attracted the attention of the whole world, and the league even laid out advertisements in all directions the day before the game.

The moment CCTV started the live broadcast, it broke through the highest ratings of the season. According to speculation, more than 2 million people around the world will watch this game.

Because according to the official list given by the Rockets, Dayao will make a comeback in this game!

This is Dayao's comeback after a season's absence, and it's an NBA derby, and it's another dialogue between the super centers of the East and the West.

It is reasonable for everyone to react like this. Everyone wants to see how Dayao recovers at this time, and whether he can shake Zuo Li's increasingly stable first center position.

However, it is a pity that the truth of the matter will make countless people feel sorry.

"Man, before I decide to retire, I want to fight you again."

In the locker room, Zuo Li was silent while looking at the text messages on his phone.

Once the No. 09 center in the Western Conference, the No. [-] center in the league in [-], the Super Great Wall, a monument in the history of Chinese sports, Dayao... finally came to this step.

It stands to reason that Zuo Li once personally experienced Dayao's retirement. Before the start of this season, Dayao also revealed the news of his retirement, so his mood should be relatively stable.

But when this thing really happened in front of him, his mind was still unavoidably agitated.

Many people now don't understand what Dayao's departure means. They once thought it was the beginning, but they never thought it was a peak that would be difficult to reach again.

It won't be long before the Chinese men's basketball team will be reduced to the point where it is difficult for the Philippines to win.

"Tsk, why think so much, don't regret it." Zuo Li shook his head and moved his fingers solemnly.

Respect for the opponent is to go all out, since Dayao wants to have no regrets, then he will not stop.

After all, people on the basketball court can be praised and abused, but the last thing they need is sympathy.

Compassion is the expression of the weak.

Dayao definitely didn't want his opponent to release water because of sympathy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game begins.

Before the jump ball, it could be seen that Dayao was more serious than ever. He really played this game as his last.
