Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

No one has been able to win the best player of the month for a whole season before. In ancient times, there was no such honor, so let's put it aside for now. The Jordan era league only selected one player of the month a month, plus the strong players in the 1990s such as Lin, The competition is too fierce, so even as strong as Jordan can't do it.

Up to now, although James has performed strongly, he has never achieved the best season of the month. He won the most three times last season.

And now, this number has also been broken by Zuo Li. For four consecutive months, Zuo Li has completed the suppression of personal data and team records, leaving people speechless.

In fact, if the performance is always outstanding, Zuo Li may not always be the best of the month. After all, this thing still has the problem of aesthetic fatigue.

Time back to 1997. At the end of the regular season, Malone scored 27 points, 9.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals, leading the team to a record of 64 wins and 18 losses. Averaged 29.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, and this year the Bulls had a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, the second best record in history. In addition to personal data, there were 4 fewer rebounds and 0.2 fewer assists. In other respects, Jordan is still dominant.

Among the high-level data, Malone's efficiency value is 28.9, Jordan's 27.8, and the win shares, Malone's 16.7, and Jordan's 18.3.

So no matter how you look at it, Jordan should have won the MVP. The two sides are probably 5.5-4.5 in Zuo Li's opinion.

However, it was Malone who won the MVP that year, which is also one of the most controversial MVPs in history.

The main reason is that Jordan and the Bulls were too explosive in the previous season, with 72 wins, the first in history, and no suspense to win the championship, which made the judges have more requirements for Jordan. So excellent, it caused the judges to have aesthetic fatigue, and eventually caused the MVP to fall by the side of others.

The same goes for the best-of-the-month analogy, where there is a clear preference for players who are more impactful during the month.

In this way, it is also difficult to make the defending month the best. After all, it is not easy for the stars to ensure continuous output. Where can they give you a breakthrough every month?

But the key to Zuo Li is that he has big news every month on the hour, and his performance on the court also swept the basketball circle or even broke the circle from time to time, which made everyone have new surprises every month.

In February, according to the performance of the game, James was not bad, and he defeated Zuo Li once, but who made the All-Star in February, Zuo Li's performance in the All-Star was really good, so good that the judges didn't even think about it. The brain casts the left and stands, and many people don't read the data, just stud.

Poor James had no choice but to accompany him for four months...

However, it is not easy to win the best of the month in this entire season. Next month, as the closing month of the regular season in a basic sense, the judges will definitely have higher requirements.

But Zuo Li himself doesn't care, just as he said when accepting the award, he is now only focusing on the game itself and the upcoming playoffs.

As for the question of whether the regular season will hit 70 wins, Zuo Li simply answered: "Let's go!"

In fact, the current record of the Knicks has just reached 60 wins and 8 losses, and there are still 14 games to be played. If the current winning rate is used, there is a real chance to touch the threshold of 70 wins. It is also theoretically possible to tie the Bulls, such as a direct wave of 10. Win streak or something, but again, that's not the time.

Zuo Li will not use the results of the playoffs to bet on the results of the regular season. After all, the example of courage tells us that if you fly too high in the regular season to win the championship, you will be awesome. If you don’t win the championship, you will crash. You don’t want regular season history The first record becomes a joke in the mouths of others.

But Zuo Li jokingly added: "No matter how many wins in the end... I hope it's not 67, 66, 65."

"Hahaha~" The reporter obviously understood Zuo Li's humor, because the number of 67 wins is very different in history

Let's not talk about it, the Mavericks who won 67 wins in 2007 were hacked. At that time, the whole people carnival, and it is still fresh in my memory.

The Lakers, who won 67 in 2000, easily won the championship all the way.

In Zuo Li's memory, the Spurs, who won 67 in 2016, lost early, and the Warriors, who won 67 in 2017, won 16-1 for revenge...

In short, with 67 wins, it seems that the ending is one, or you can go straight to the annals of history, or you can easily win the championship with a counterattack all the way.

The stakes are too high, brothers!

Instead of this, it's better to use a low winning percentage to save character in the playoffs. Zuo Li doesn't think the current Knicks have the absolute ability to win the championship. Don't look at the Lakers this season, the Celtics have average records, Kyle The specials are not even as good as the eagles, but they will be resurrected with blood in the playoffs, and whoever destroys them... whoever thinks that the regular season record is not good will underestimate them, and they will definitely pay the price.

But Zuo Li seems to have unknowingly given himself a mouthful of poisonous milk...

Playing against the Nets on March 5th, the Knicks won it easily. The process was calm and I won’t mention it. The Nets have only won 12 games, and the UAE is also injured. , the Knicks won 61.

However, back-to-back on the 6th, they were defeated by the Eagles. The Eagles are quite fierce this season. The regular season record is very good. They even overtook the Celtics at the last moment and pushed the Green Army to the fourth place. UU reading www.uukanshu.com indirectly As a result, the Knights met the Green Army in advance and were eventually eliminated from the game, and then there was the decision that changed the world.

I get it, it's all so strange to eagles!

However, in this life, the knights may not encounter the green army so early, and I don't know if history will correct itself.

Then the Knicks ushered in a wave of four consecutive visitors, first visiting Texas to face the Spurs, Grizzlies and Mavericks, and then coming back to Philadelphia to face the 76ers.

Without any hesitation, the Knicks chose to rotate. Although there was an average of 2 days of rest between each game, it was not worth the effort to fight hard at this time. Therefore, Randolph and David Lee both missed two games, and Zuo Li also averaged only In 27 minutes of playing time, the Knicks finally won the Spurs and completed their season double play, but lost to the Grizzlies and the Mavericks. This is also the Knicks' first losing streak of the season, and they returned to the East to defeat the 76ers again to end. losing streak.

With 63 wins and 11 losses, the Knicks were able to surpass last season's 62 wins and set their best record in team history.

Seven days later, the number came to 65. Although they lost against the Nuggets and the Suns, the two Western powerhouses, the easy victory over the 76ers and the Rockets allowed the Knicks to always occupy the throne of the league championship.

However, the gap is narrowing. It can be seen that the Cavaliers are really fighting. James played 43 minutes per game and led the Cavaliers to a wave of 8 consecutive victories. At present, they are still 2 wins away, and they can get 60 wins...

However, because there are only 4 games left in the regular season, the Knicks have already locked the regular season championship in advance!

This is also Zuo Li's first regular-season championship in his career, and the second time in the history of the Knicks that he ranks first in the league's record!

You may not believe it when you say it. The last time the Knicks won the regular season championship dates back to the distant 70 years. That was the first 60-win year in the history of the Knicks, and the first year they won the championship!
