Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

"Don't think of them as a young team, if you do, you will pay."

"The Bulls are a standard young team. Ross, Noah and others have the vitality and impact of young people, but they lack experience. After trading Ben Gordon, they lack a guy who can stand up at a critical moment. So this season they are worse than last season."

"But the Knicks are not. In fact, they are younger than the Bulls. Originally, they should be the same as the Bulls and the Thunder. There are various problems, such as instability, but Zuo Li is young and mature. He is too mature. Turning 21, but he's like a seasoned veteran on the court, he knows what to do when and how to make his teammates better, which gives the Knicks' youth a backbone."

"In the future, the New York Knicks have a chance to rule the league!"

After the game with the Bulls, this year's ESPN commentator Mark Jackson said publicly on the show.

If you ask who Mark Jackson is, he is now one of ESPN's sideline commentators, partnering with Van Gundy Jr., an old acquaintance of Chinese fans.

At the same time, he is also a former NBA player. The peak of his career was in the New York Knicks.

He and "Magic" Johnson, Stockton, Kidd, and Steve Nash are the NBA's five players with 10,000 assists so far, and he currently ranks third in the assists list.

Of course, his achievements as a player will stop there. Even if he becomes an ESPN commentator, he has not been able to be remembered by fans for a long time. This is the fate of ordinary players. , The players whose careers are not so bright will one day be forgotten.

Zuo Li, who is familiar with history, has the deepest memory of him in the next 11 years. He will replace the retired old Nelson as the head coach of the Warriors and was fired in 2014.

Zuo Li is more willing to call him the founder of the future rise of the Warriors. Zuo Li has always believed that Mark Jackson's work is crucial for the Warriors to break out suddenly in 2015 and finally win the championship unbelievably.

Curry, Thompson and Green were all entrusted with important responsibilities when he was in office. In 12 years, the trade of Monta Ellis to the Bucks for Bogut was a godsend, because Curry was finally righted.

And according to Curry's revelations in later shows, the Warriors originally wanted to trade him, because his ankle injury repeatedly made the Warriors suspicious, and Mark Jackson chose to protect Curry, which made Curry stay. Down.

Think about it, if Curry was traded to the Bucks...meet Antetokounmpo after two years, tsk tsk, this picture is too beautiful.

And his help to Curry didn’t stop there. It was his constant encouragement and trust that made Curry improve rapidly after 12 years. After being fired in 14 years, Curry also publicly refuted the Warriors owner’s criticism of Mark Jackson.

Therefore, without the correct operation of Mark Jackson, there will be no future success of the Warriors. Although Kerr is a vested interest in the Warriors' achievements, Mark Jackson is the creator of all this. Don't forget, Kerr is not here, and Woo is in charge of the class. Dayton can also lead the Warriors to a winning streak.

The strength is here, it really doesn't matter who the coach is.

So Zuo Li still agrees with Mark Jackson's words. He deserves to be a future coach and has a good vision.

Even Zuo Li feels that this summer, it seems that the coaching staff can be further improved...

However, the outside world scoffed at Mark Jackson's remarks. It is undeniable that the Knicks are strong, but it is too early to talk about domination.

Pippen said coolly: "It's nothing to beat the current Bulls. As for domination, he's better to rush out of the East this year."

Mark Jackson didn't comment on this, but soon, Pippen knew how wrong he was...

...

On February 18, the Knicks, who defeated the Bulls to complete the season's three kills, continued to sit at home and ushered in their first back-to-back game after the All-Star game. The opponent of the game was the only tyrant in the West that has not yet been encountered, the Spurs.

Zuo Licai finally met the Spurs led by Popovich in the game... I have to say, the league still understands it very well. Knowing that the Spurs All-Stars liked to paddle before, so let the Knicks and the full-body Spurs play directly. Simply genius.

In this game, both sides are back-to-back, and the Spurs are even back-to-back at home and away, which is even more difficult than the Knicks schedule, so the two sides are equal at this point.

Before the game, Popovich said in an interview that the Spurs came to learn from the experience, and Zuo Li, who has a very clear personality in Popovich, decided to teach the old man a lesson.

Needless to say, when Popovich released the poisoned milk before the game, he must have found new tactics. For example, he said countless times that O'Neal was too strong, and then he slashed sharks wildly, saying that Kobe was very good, and used Bao The host said that Dirk was very good, so he used Duncan and Bonner to teach Dirk the old driver...

So when he said that, he probably had some thoughts on Zuo Li.

"Don't believe him, he must be holding back to beat us, and he must have done something new, then we will follow the trend and teach the Spurs a lesson!" Pre-match locker room ~www.readwn.com~ Zuo Li to his teammates said.

Sure enough!

To start, the Spurs played a combination of Duncan, Parker, Blair, Jefferson and George Hill.

And it was Duncan who was defending on the left, not Blair or Jefferson at No. 3 as everyone predicted before the game.

"Coach Pop actually used Duncan to defend Zuoli?! This is his cornerstone core." Yang Yi's commentary tone was full of surprise and disbelief, obviously stunned by the Spurs' tactics.

Knowing that the two teams met twice last season, the Spurs' tactics were to let Duncan avoid direct confrontation with Zuoli, and the opponents with Zuoli were "consumables" like Oberto and Bonner.

But Zuo Li is not surprised at all, because this season has been a major turning point in Duncan's era for the Spurs.

There were three important turning points in Duncan's career with the Spurs, which directly affected all the championships in Duncan's career.

The first time, of course, was Duncan entering the Spurs, replacing Admiral Robinson as the core and successfully winning the first championship of his career.

The second time was Robinson's retirement, the Spurs switched from Duncan's single-core to a GDP three-core, especially in 2007, when Duncan was no longer the first choice for scoring.

And this is the third time, no doubt this year, after being eliminated from the playoffs for two seasons, the Spurs have made the biggest change. At the beginning of the season, Bowen, Finley, Horry, Oberto and other achievements The purge of the veteran by the Spurs marks that the Spurs have entered a semi-reconstruction era. Although nominal GDP is still the core of the Spurs, a group of young players such as George Hill are slowly sharing the tactical position of GDP.

Zuo Li glanced at Kawaii, who was sitting on the bench with a dull expression. Who would have thought that the era of the Spurs had not completely ended, and who would have thought that the biggest contributor to helping the Spurs win the fifth championship would be this expressionless man. The low draft pick.
