The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

"Hey! Hurry up! There's only one minute left, hurry up and get your number, or you won't be able to get a ticket if you're late! I want the front row!"

"Hey man, I need a ticket for Game 5 of the Finals! What!? Sold out?!!! SHIT! It's only been on sale for minutes! How come it's sold out?!"

"Hey, man, do you want tickets? I have some here."

"Oh? Can you pass the security check? Even if you use your real name?"

"No problem! I guarantee it will work. If not, come find me! It's absolutely safe!"

"Okay, how much is it, and which row and which number?"

"12 US dollars, fourth row, seat nine, absolutely a good seat! Facing the court! Do you know how long it took me to buy this seat?"

"What?! 12?! You are robbing me!"

"Hey, brother, ask around to see how popular this game is and how many people want to watch it. You can't even buy a first-row ticket for 40 yuan. I'm already selling them at a discount! Do you want one? If not, I'll find someone else!"

"........."

"I want...I want, isn't that enough? I came all the way from China just to watch Zuo Li's game. If I don't watch it now, it will be too late!"

"Here, give me the money! Give me the ticket. If you can't get in... don't think I can't punish you just because I can't buy a ticket!"

……

This is New York in 2030.

After all the ups and downs, 22 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yes, it has been 2008 years since Zuo Li entered the league with the No. 22 pick in .

For any sport, 22 years is an extremely long time. The years have witnessed Zuo Li's growth from a 19-year-old boy to a 41-year-old old man.

and so…

"enough."

Before the start of this season, Zuo Li publicly announced on his social media that this would be the last dance of his professional career.

This immediately detonated the whole world.

Countless fans tearfully begged Zuo Li not to leave. Madison Square Garden was even surrounded by excited fans for a month. Zuo Li's personal phone was bombarded with calls, and his inbox was full of emails asking him to reconsider. Even on the websites of his various companies, there were messages all asking him to retire two years later.

Even Shaquille O'Neal, who was born in 72 and is now 58 years old and just resigned from TNT, said that he hopes Zuo Li will continue to play.

"It's not time yet, brother. You are still very capable. The alliance needs you."

All these remarks make people who don't know the business feel dizzy. Isn't it normal for a 42-year-old veteran to retire?

Look at Zuo Li's contemporaries, Rose, James, Durant, and even Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the two buddies of the Tsunami Brothers. Regardless of whether they are in good health or young, they have retired before Zuo Li. It is incredible that Zuo Li has persisted until today.

The reason is that we can only say that Zuo Li is the biggest bug in the sports world.

At the age of 42, he looks like a young man in his twenties. It seems that time has pressed the pause button on him. There is no sign of old age on his face and body. On the contrary, after years of precipitation, Zuo Li has more charm than when he was young.

You know, Zuo Li has been ranked first on the list of the world's most handsome men for 8 consecutive years. Versace even signed an incredible lifetime endorsement contract with Zuo Li, which is the first time in the history of luxury brands.

His "intensity" is not only reflected in his face, his competitive state is also excellent. Last season, in the 21st year of his career, Zuo Wei averaged 28.7 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 5.5 assists, 58.4% shooting, and 44.5% three-point shooting.

Although in vertical comparison, he cannot be compared with his peak period, but in horizontal comparison, he is still one of the strongest stars in the league. Although he failed to win the regular season MVP, in the playoffs, Zuo Li led the Knicks to win the championship again and won the FMVP honor.

This is the Knicks' first time to reach the top in two years, and it is also Zuo Li's 15th championship.

With this kind of condition and this kind of outstanding performance, many people think that Zuo Li can even play until he is 50 years old. Even if 50 is not possible, 45 is definitely a sure thing. Fans are even waiting for Zuo Li to break the record of the oldest player in the NBA.

However, at this juncture, Zuo Lique suddenly decided to retire, and the fans were of course very excited.

However, for Zuo Li himself, everything was enough.

After 22 years of professional career, he has gotten everything he wanted. Originally, he wanted to see when his body would get tired, but in the off-season after winning the championship, he accidentally saw the wrinkles at the corners of Olsen's eyes, and he suddenly realized that he had not accompanied Olsen on vacation for a long time.

So he temporarily canceled his training and took Olsen to Iceland for a trip. After coming back, looking at Olsen's smiling face, Zuo Li was ready to completely change the track of his life.

So, on an ordinary morning, the No. 1 player in NBA history decided to retire.

But not immediately, but after the next season.

Although he decided to leave, he still decided to give an explanation to the fans and the team who had supported him for so many years.

He also called all his old friends one by one.

Dolan: "Haha, you're ready to quit? It doesn't matter, I support you, you're already very tired, old buddy. Do you want a share in the team? I'll give you 1%, and you can buy the rest yourself. Anyway, you're much richer than me. I even think you might be the richest. After all, I don't understand your industry."

Curry: "Ah, boss, you don't want to play anymore? Well, then our iron triangle will be completely retired. But it's okay, we can go on vacation together and eat barbecue, which is also very enjoyable!"

Clay: "Boss, I definitely support you. Come to Los Angeles. It's much better here!"

Mr. Derek: "Oh? My child, it's time to return to your family. Your child is very good, just like you. Maybe you can train him. I heard that he played well in the NCAA?"

……

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Li felt emotional. Although basketball is interesting, there are basically no friends he knows in the league now.

Curry, Klay, David Lee, Iguodala, Beverley, Draymond Green, Adams, Batum, Rooney...

The Knicks, which were once known as the strongest team in history, no one is left in the league except Zuo Li.

This is also one of the reasons why Zuo Li decided to retire.

And then there is leaving.

David Stern, Cousy, Bill Russell, Jerry West...

In recent years, Zuo Li has seen off countless seniors and acquaintances.

This made Zuo Li cherish time even more.

After all, we have one life to live again and we can't waste it.

So even though many people tried to persuade him, Zuo Li did not waver.

It’s just that Zuo Li is not a person who likes bad endings. Since this is the last season, of course he has to go all out and strive to put the most perfect end to his career.
