Chapter 617: Consecutive Defensive Player of the Year

From ordinary players to future stars, sometimes it is only a game away.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Stephen Curry showed his strength and potential with a hearty projection feast.

So much so that Barkley couldn't help calling him after the game: "Future superstar!"

Before that, only Zuo Li last year and James in 2003 had received such evaluations from Barkley. Although Sir Barkley has always been known for his big mouth and unreliability, it has been proved that he has not missed the mark twice.

And Curry is the third, and the one with the lowest pick among the three. Before this game, although Curry had already played good numbers in the regular season, Evans was the 2009 rookie. Bright, but there are still very few people who are optimistic about him.

However, after this game, it is estimated that more than half of the previous words will be retracted.

10 of 16 three-pointers made 62.5% of the shots. This may not be the highest three-point shooting rate in the NBA playoffs. After all, there will never be a shortage of men who only make one shot in a game, but 10 three-pointers in a single game are not enough. Successfully broke the single-game three-pointer hit record in the NBA playoffs!

Previously, Vince Carter, Jason Terry and Chapman of the last century held this record, and they all had the record of making nine three-pointers in the playoffs.

The earliest is Chapman, and the most memorable is Vince Carter. In the 2001 playoffs, the Raptors he led and the 76ers led by Iverson faced off in 7 peak games. Carter used 9 three-pointers. The scene of scoring 50 points is unforgettable.

9 3-pointers was once the peak of a single-game 3-pointer in the playoffs, which means that no one has ever made a double-digit 3-pointer in a playoff game, but today, Stephen Curry, the first-year rookie broke this. Record.

It is conceivable how much attention he will receive, and it is no wonder that Barkley would say so, because it is indeed difficult to ignore a fierce man who can throw 10 three-pointers in a single game.

For the Knicks, this game is not just as simple as winning, he also presented a huge problem for the Magic, that is, whether they dare to put Curry or other perimeter players in the second game, and try their best to The defense is on the left.

In this regard, Zuo Li, who only made 10 shots in this game, hit 7 goals and scored 22 points and 17 rebounds with free throws, said: "Of course! Rookie, do you expect him to make 10 three-pointers in two straight games? Fakes are fakes!"

Magic: "I believe you a ghost, you bad old man is very bad!"

But think about it carefully, Zuo Li's words are not unreasonable, this game is so accurate, it will not be so accurate in the end, this is ten three-pointers in a single game, the first time in history, no matter what you think about the next game. It's possible!

After all, people in this era are still not used to the appearance of three-pointers flying in the sky. Of course, this is not wrong. 10 three-pointers in a single game are indeed not Chinese cabbage. Even in the so-called small ball era in the future, the playoffs list The field can throw more than 10 three-pointers, but only three times.

So in the end whether to guard against it, how to guard it, then leave it to Dafan and the magic coaching staff to have a headache, I hope his hair can still hold up.



Of course, the Knicks celebrated Curry after the game. You may not believe it. As soon as Curry entered the locker room, he was naturally chilled by cold water.

"Oh oh oh oh~" Zuo Li handed the basketball to Curry in the midst of the wailing and howling. This is also the first time in his life that he has won the game ball.

Then Zuo Li thoughtfully delivered the cake, which was bought by the staff at the cake shop in front of Madison as soon as possible after the game. It was Curry's number and the number of three-pointers made.

"Stephen! My man! It's your night and you did a great job today, but!"

"This is not the end!"

Zuo Li gave the cutter to Curry.

"Thank you boss, everyone..." Curry patted his chest, his eyes turning red visibly.

"This is the best group, really..."

The scene is warm and touching. This is exactly the locker room atmosphere that Zuo Li worked hard to create. After Lin Madness swept the world, Jeremy Lin got only exclusion, but Zuo Li is not that kind of person. Prepare a feast for them.

Jealousy should not exist in the locker room of a team. Everything is for victory and championship!

Of course, after the sensationalization was over, everyone ate two bites of cake, and Anderson took the lead to become the "moving destroyer", and Curry was immediately attacked.

Fall up and down!

By the time Curry came back to his senses, the locker room was already bursting with laughter.

So a cake war unfolded (need for the plot, shameful waste)...

The locker room was a mess, and Zuo Li didn't forget to give the staff enough tips to handle it all.

D'Antoni is simply too satisfied. This kind of leader is the treasure of the locker room.



And just when the fans were still excited about the Knicks' victory, there was good news.

The next day, the NBA officially announced the second largest award of the season. Zuo Li defended the best defensive player with an absolute advantage and was elected for two consecutive years.

Zuo Li also became the seventh player to defend this award after Moncrief, Rodman, Olajuwon, Uncle Mu, Mourning, and Big Ben Wallace.

However, Zuo Li is also the most dominant. With 122 first votes this season, Zuo Li won 120, only 2 fell, and his score is three times that of Howard, who is in second place. It is absolutely undisputed.

Howard, who had just lost the game, wanted to cry when he heard the news. It would be better not to give him these two. Giving them this way is a joke!

The two guys from tnt who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously made fun of it, saying that those two people were already confirmed to be Orlando...

There is no doubt that Zuo Li won this award, and even this award was considered to be the award with the least suspense before. Whether it is data or dominance in the arena, Zuo Li has far surpassed the competitors behind him by too many.

After winning this award, Zuo Li has also won two awards this season.

Of course, this is not the end. Zuo Li is still the number one favorite for the biggest award in the back, but no one thought that the third award would come so quickly.

Just a day later, on the morning of G2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the NBA inserted a small prize.

The Kennedy Philanthropy Award, established in 1975, is the most famous charitable award in North America. It was voted by 150 authoritative sports reporters in North America to recognize some NBA stars who are full of love and continue to carry out philanthropy.

Zuo Li became the youngest player to win this award because of his non-stop donations in the past two years.

Of course, UU reading is not because young people don't like to do charity, and other young people can't make so much money from Zuoli.

"Zuo Li's accumulated donations last year reached 8 million US dollars, and more than 50 outdoor basketball courts, 10 basketball arenas, and multiple arenas in Rock Park have been updated and maintained in Harlem, the largest slum area in New York."

"He also donated 1 million to the largest welfare home in Harlem to expand its scale and take in more orphans."

"He deserves this award!" David Stern said when he announced.

Only then did people know that Zuo Li had done so many things silently in one year.

But Rich Paul disagrees, you think this is over, Zuo Li has done far more than that.
