The genius of the basketball madman is on the left
Chapter 1397: Zuo Li’s Era (4)
Ever since the Knicks established their dynasty, there has always been a discussion about who is the No. 1 dynasty in history!
This debate actually did not arise at that time. The debate between the Bulls, the Lakers, and the ancient Celtics has always existed. Although the Bulls have always been in the lead, the other two also have their reasons.
The emergence of the Knicks made the debate even more intense, but it only lasted for a year. As the Knicks won four consecutive championships, they successfully surpassed the Lakers. When the Knicks won their sixth consecutive championship, the Bulls could no longer find a reason to be better than the Knicks.
At this point, there was only one voice of rebuttal left, and that was the Celtics, who had won eight consecutive championships.
In fact, the Celtics actually have the lowest gold content. This is mainly because in the 1965s and 66s, the NBA was in the earliest period of the league, with fewer teams and a huge difference in the combat effectiveness of each team. During the Celtics' eight consecutive championships, they only needed two rounds of series to successfully defend their titles. Even in the 100-67 season, when they won their eighth championship, they only played three series. During the eight consecutive championships, the Celtics played only 67 playoff games in total, won games, and had a winning rate of %.
This data is very low. Now, if you want to win the championship, even if you win all the games, you have to play 16 games in the whole season. What's more, so far in the playoffs, there is only one team, the Knicks, which has truly achieved 16 consecutive wins and won the championship.
But it is undeniable that the Celtics' eight consecutive championships are still a legend, because the comparison cannot ignore the era. They were indeed the strongest team of that era, and the eight consecutive championships were indeed the longest consecutive championship in NBA history.
However, after this season, this debate has completely ceased because the Knicks also completed an incredible eight consecutive championships!
The number is tied with the Celtics, and the value is directly crushing them!
From then on, the first dynasty in history belonged to the New York Knicks led by Zuo Li!
This time, Zuo Li shed tears for the second time while holding the trophy, not only because of winning the championship, but also because of the hardships along the way this season.
Of course, controversy still exists. For example, Warriors fans believe that if Paul had not been injured, the Knicks would not have been able to make a comeback.
嗏
That's basketball.
There are no ifs in basketball.
Although basketball is full of love, it is cruel. Most of the time, it only determines the winner and the loser.
This applies to any basketball player.
In the 2017-2018 season, the Knicks finally ended their eight-year dominance of the NBA. They lost to last year's opponent, the Golden State Warriors, who once again brought in superstar Cousins in the offseason in the finals.
Paul, Harden, Durant, Cousins, Howard... On the bench there are also championship puzzle pieces like Gortat, whose annual salary exceeds the salary cap by 100 million...
Crazy team, crazy star...
They finally ended the Knicks' super dynasty.
Zuo Li’s dream of winning nine consecutive championships came to an end.
After winning the championship, let’s not talk about the fanatical Golden State fans for now, and just talk about Zuo Li himself. He is actually very regretful.
Although we say it every year that we are used to it, who would complain about having too many champions?
But it was not all in vain. At least, he found the motivation to win the championship again.
The Knicks are actually not in good shape this season. Injuries and fatigue have always accompanied them, and David Lee is out for the season due to injury.
But they still relied on Zuo Li's average of 33.8 points, 17.1 rebounds, 6.4 blocks and 9.1 assists per game in the playoffs to reach the finals again.
For Zuo Li, he won the scoring title again this season, and his career cumulative scoring title has reached eight times, getting closer and closer to Jordan. He became the youngest person to score 2 points, and it took him less than ten seasons and he was only 28 years old.
As for life, this season, he and Olsen welcomed their first son. Zuo Li named him Zuo Yi because he hopes that he can live a carefree life in the future.
However, many people still believe that Zuo Li has declined, because this is the first time in his career that he did not win any of the three MVPs in the entire season.
"Failed!"
This is the outside world's evaluation of Zuo Li this season.
At the same time, this season also became the last season for Lakers legendary star Kobe Bryant.
Because of the championship, he did not go on a retirement tour like in his previous life. He played for the Lakers until the last minute and led the Lakers back to the Western Conference Finals after two years.
It’s just a pity that the Warriors lineup was too strong, and Kobe chose to retire with regret.
At the retirement ceremony, Kobe kissed the floor emotionally, and this scene made countless fans tear up.
Zuo Li attended the ceremony and Kobe also sent his blessings to Zuo Li.
"From now on, this alliance depends on you."
"Mamba out!"
Kobe's departure undoubtedly marks the end of an era, and during the offseason, two other legendary stars also chose to retire.
Tim Duncan, Garnett...
The two best power forwards of the 21st century chose to retire at almost the same time and in different ways.
For a time, countless fans shed tears of the times.
Zuo Li sent his blessings to the three of them. Times have changed, and everything seemed to be just yesterday. At this moment, it was hard for him not to miss the days when they fought together.
These three also sent their blessings to Zuo Li, who was at the lowest point in his career.
Kobe: "One of the main reasons why I retired is because of him. This guy is so good. From now on, the league depends on you."
Duncan: "It's an honor to compete with you late in my career."
Garnett: "I'm waiting for you and your legend. Maybe that will be an important topic of conversation for me and my children when we are old."
The three legends' spontaneous blessings did not silence Heizi, which was understandable. After all, they were the ones who had been waiting the longest.
不过此时,左立没有说话,没有嘴炮,只是用新赛季前20场场均38分21篮板10助攻8封盖5抢断为自己证明。
This season, Zuo Li averaged a triple-double for the second time in his career, won the scoring title for the ninth time, the blocks title and rebounding title for the 11th time, the assists title for the second time, the steals title for the first time, and completed the super dominance of five data for the first time in his career!
He won the All-Star MVP with 44 points, won his seventh regular season MVP, and led the Knicks to a 70-win record!
In the playoffs, Zuo Li swept the first three rounds, and fought Durant for 6 games in the finals. He averaged 48 points per game to show Durant what the real Grim Reaper is!
4-2!
Zuo Li led the Knicks to regain the championship after a year, achieving his ninth championship in his career!
"Last time, you said I was old, but now, I want to tell you that I am still in my prime!"
The bold declaration of winning the championship is back, and Zuo Li also put his declaration into practice!
In the next two years, Zuo Li relied on his incredible ability to lead the Knicks to win three consecutive championships again!
Although the Warriors made it to the finals for four consecutive years, they were still defeated by the Knicks led by Zuo Li!
13 championships in 11 years!
The Knicks tied the Celtics' incredible record and at the same time established the greatest dynasty in history.
Zuo Li’s career cumulative data has also completely surpassed superstars such as Jordan!
The greatest athlete of all time!
Four years later, Zuo Li topped Time magazine's Person of the Year list, and his legend continues.
