Chapter 158 The Grizzly Bears Don't Know What's About To Happen At This Time

Regarding the content of Popovich's interview, Zuo Li can only say that he has the essence of the art of war, and that he did such a good job of showing the enemy his weakness. I almost believed it. He really deserves to be a coach who graduated from West Point Military Academy.

Although this is the first time Zuo Li has played against Popovich, he will know in later generations that he should not believe a single punctuation of what Popovich said before the game, and whoever believes it will be unlucky.

The deepest memory of Zuo Li is that in the season before he crossed, the Eagles had not won a victory in San Antonio for a long time, but Popovich said before the game: "Don't be blinded by the Eagles' record. It doesn't reflect their performance, they just lost a few times. They compete every night, work hard on both ends of the offense and defense, and Budenholzer makes the Hawks very competitive."

Then that night the Spurs beat the Hawks 98-72...

If Zuo Li was an Eagles player, he would be numb.

Milked the Eagles, and then won them again, gave a sweet date, and slapped them again, winning without offending others, Popovich played Tai Chi so well, it was simply insane! ! !

And this time, Popovich obviously used this trick on the Knicks.

When Zuo Li stepped into the locker room before the game, Zuo Li knew that Popovich's tainted milk had worked...

Sure enough, the Knicks players seemed a little distracted at the beginning of the game. Du Hong made two mistakes at the beginning and was replaced. Charcoal in the snow.

Fortunately, Zuo Li and David Lee feel online, especially Zuo Li. Popovich did not let Duncan face him, but let Oberto go to the hard top. The result is that Zuo Li made 5 consecutive shots. Oberto's mentality exploded, and Zao Zao's mentality exploded.

But Duncan tonight really means that the old man is talking about teenage madness. He also made all the first 5 goals. With Parker's performance, the Spurs led by 23 points 19-4 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Zuo Li, who was sitting on the bench, kept moving his arms. I have to say that the Spurs’ defense is really too strong. If he doesn’t shoot himself, don’t you. who!

Where is the Knicks against the Spurs? D'Antoni dispatched troops, but whether it was Randolph's basket or David Lee's mid-range shot, they were all resolved by the Spurs, and Parker Duncan played both inside and outside. Shui Qi, the others crazily strangled Zuo Li, even at the cost of vicious fouls.

Although the left half scored 17 points and 8 rebounds, and Oberto had 4 fouls in the half, the Knicks still trailed 40-49 by 9 points. In such a slow-paced game, 9 points is not small.

It can be seen that D'Antoni really wants to win. After all, in the Suns, Popovich can be called his lifelong enemy. The grievances between the two of them are more than enough to write a book, and the ending is basically the Spurs win. 07 The nightmare of the year is still D'Antoni's demon.

But tonight's Knicks did not have the conditions to win. The Spurs played better in the second half. In the end, the Spurs beat the Knicks 99-90 at home with a 9-point advantage, ending the Knicks' 6-game winning streak since the start of the game.

Tonight's Spurs are in full bloom. Duncan's long-lost double-double of 26 points and 10 rebounds, Parker's 28 points, and Ginobili's 16 points all made Spurs fans lament that the omnipotent Spurs are back.

而纽约这边就有点泛善可陈了，只有左立发挥出色，29分11篮板3封盖3助攻的数据足够亮眼，左立差一点就能完成背靠背30+10了。

But even so, Zuo Li was the player with the most points in the first 7 games of the new century.

After the game, Zuo Li also received good news again. He led the Knicks to three victories with an average of 32.5 points, 14.8 rebounds, 4.5 blocks and 2.5 assists per game. The first player to win the player of the week two weeks before the start of the game.

Last week, when Zuo Li got the best of the week, he tied O'Neal's record of getting the best of the week in the first week of his rookie. Now, he has taken another step forward on this basis, and he has also become the best player of the month in the Eastern Conference. top contender.

However, it is still a little embarrassing to announce such news when losing the game. At least Zuo Li will not have any celebrations, and he did not express his reflections.

After the game, New York fans and the media were a little disappointed. After all, they still couldn't beat such a strong team away from home.

The Knicks players were the most disappointed. Even D'Antoni was silent when he returned to the locker room. D'Antoni couldn't help but think of his fear of being dominated by the Spurs in the Suns.

And the most normal one is naturally Zuo Li. To be honest, Zuo Li is already prepared for this defeat, and he feels that losing even a loss is a good thing.

The current Knicks are far from being able to win all the time. Whether it is tactics or personnel allocation, the Knicks’ shortcomings are still very obvious. Apart from their own good condition and good left standing, the Knicks’ six-game winning streak is also related to the schedule. It doesn't matter, the previous opponents were either not strong enough, or encountered unexpected situations such as injuries.

The last game against the Jazz was almost overturned. It has already been reflected. When you meet the Spurs who are so hot and are still crazy about poisoning you before the game, losing can only be said to be reasonable.

Moreover, Zuo Li looked around at his teammates. Losing can calm down the excited guys and realize their own strength. Winning before made them think that they are invincible. This has not been a good thing for a long time.

Of course, he shouldn't be too depressed. Zuo Li managed to boost his morale, so don't let it collapse again. This is the Knicks, and this situation is still very possible.

So Zuo Li stood up and spoke.

"Hey hey, I said guys, we won't be leaving until early tomorrow morning, do you want to have a meal together later?"

"Zuo Li, this, didn't we lose just now?" Little Ewing scratched his head and spoke at the right time.

Zuo Li nodded, that's right, the young man is suitable to cheer: "Yes, I lost, but isn't it normal to lose to the Spurs? I think we played well enough. We lost 9 points. This is not unacceptable. You know , they were the runner-up in the Western Conference last season!"

Zuo Li's words woke up the depressed players.

Yup!

No shame in losing to the Spurs.

Before they encountered the Spurs, they surrendered directly. Tonight they fought to the last moment.

"So, we need to reward ourselves, find a restaurant, eat a meal, and sleep well. Tomorrow, we have to go to Memphis. It doesn't matter if we lose a game. We can let outsiders see that we can still win. We are not soft persimmons!" Zuo Li clapped his hands.

Ke Liu: "Okay! I'm too anxious, we are still the top two in the Eastern Conference!"

David Lee: "Zuo Li is right, fight back!"

Randolph: "Eat, eat! I'm already hungry, Duncan is really hard to guard against!"

……

A group revived, and the bathhouse musicians continued on-line.

D'Antoni patted Zuo Li on the shoulder: "That's right."

Even my husband and I were persuaded.

"Hey hey, coach, this is what I should do." Zuo Li hugged D'Antoni's shoulders: "But we have to work hard to win the next game. The Grizzlies are just right. They must want to pinch us. We might as well give them a surprise." !"

D'Antoni's eyes brightened as he listened...

At this time, the Grizzlies still don't know what they are going to encounter...
