Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

May 20, Indiana.

Game 4 between the Pacers and the Knicks.

From the complacency before the start of the series to the desperate effort in the third game, the Pacers experienced what it means to go from hope to despair.

The big score of 3-0 almost sentenced them to death. Although they used their indomitable courage and unexpected formation changes to come very close to victory in the third game, they still fell short in the end.

However, the Pacers did not lose unjustly, and even their fans could only admit that it was all due to Zuo Li being too strong.

With the tactics inappropriate, Zuo Li spent four quarters and 45 minutes taking 22 shots in exchange for 48 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks.

Throughout the game, Zuo Li not only had amazing efficiency, but also controlled the number of turnovers very well. With the two teams making a total of 21 turnovers, Zuo Li only made one.

The +12 win-loss value is also the best in the game. Not only that, Zuo Li also has functions that cannot be reflected in the statistics, such as hitting many key goals in the game, and the 2+1 at the end of the game that determines the outcome.

.

Even Vogel couldn't help but sigh after the game: "Zuo Li is the God of the court, he deserves to be the MVP..."

Compared with Zuo Li, the Pacers' Big Three, Paul George with 18 points and 10 rebounds, Granger with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Hibbert with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, seem a bit mediocre.

.

Regardless of the historical winning percentage or the situation in the first three games, the Pacers should be thinking about how to avoid being swept out at this moment.

Reporter: "Hi~~ It makes so much sense..."

Even though they really tried their best, even though Zuo Li expressed his respect for them...

Reporter VS Zuo Li.

The Knicks are indeed too restrained by the Pacers. The current Pacers rely entirely on the defensive system built by Hibbert. The offensive end is very weak. Granger is injured and his strength is no longer there. Paul George has improved but is immature. George Hill, Deng Tai

Jones lacks offensive firepower. Originally, relying on defense, the Pacers could play a wonderful offense. However, without defense, the Pacers became rootless.

"How many are they now?"

Basketball is so cruel, if you can't beat it sometimes you just can't beat it.

At this point, the Knicks created the best record in team history, reaching the conference finals four times in four years.

Stand on the left and spread your hands.

Reporter: "Hey... when you say that, it seems like you have a point!"

What he said is correct. Ever since Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Lakers made it to the Finals four times in a row and won twice, it has indeed been many years since a team has been able to reach the Finals for four consecutive years.

However, when the fourth game started, neither the fans who cheered with all their strength nor Reggie Miller who kept shouting could prevent the Pacers from defeating.

James has almost no future, how can I wait!?

"Then who do you think will win between the Bulls and the Heat?" the reporter who was unwilling to give up continued to ask.

Other onlookers: "Awesome, awesome, worthy of being a leftist, perfect score for logic."

After the game, Zuo Liye gave high-fives to the Pacers' big brothers one by one. He still likes this team very much. It has momentum and resilience. If it weren't for a little luck, maybe they would have made it to the finals in history.

After the game, D'Antoni said excitedly: "We have experienced a great season. Zuo Li leads us to continuous improvement. We continue to be hungry for games and wins."

"Uh...2-2..."

I am so sincere, why do you curse me!

86 to 120, the Knicks defeated the Pacers in an away game. The total score of the series was 4-0. The Knicks swept their opponents in two consecutive rounds and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with an 8-0 wave!

Reporter: "Am I... talking nonsense? (questioning face)"

There, they will wait for the winner of the Heat and Bulls to challenge.

…

"Of course it's the championship!" Zuo Li did not hesitate.

"Look, aren't they all the same?"

"The Pacers can't come up with anything new. Their mentality is completely broken." Barkley shook his head and said looking at the 14-4 score in just 2 minutes.

But this is obviously not the Knicks' ultimate goal this season.

Tonight's Pacers no longer have the energy and courage they had in the last game, and their desire to survive has been completely crushed by the Knicks.

Zuo Li won a great victory!

The reporters were delighted. As expected of Zuo Li, he was looking down on his opponent!

"You mean they're easy to fight?"

"I'm not, I don't have you, don't talk nonsense!"

"Now that we have returned to the Eastern Conference Finals again, the next step is a crucial battle. Since the Lakers, no team has been able to win the conference championship for four consecutive years. I think we will be the first."

"What's the Knicks' ultimate goal?"

So the outcome of this series was doomed from the beginning.

After the game, Zuo Li was also surrounded by reporters. Zuo Li was much more sincere. When asked whether he wanted to face the Bulls or the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, Zuo Li smiled slightly:

"it's the same."

This means that the Knicks dynasty is finally beginning to take shape.

"Then you still think they're all the same?!" The reporter was surprised.

"Um……"

Moreover, they are all going to be defeated anyway!

Paul George was not too disappointed. It was already good for him to reach the semifinals for the first time as a core player, so he cheered Zuo Li: "Come on, boss, the dynasty is waiting for you!"

I hate them all!!!

Zuo Li doesn't know what to say, and even if he says something wrong or right, he can't escape the criticism of poisonous milk or crow's mouth.

In NBA history, in terms of teams, the only ones ahead of them are the Bulls for four consecutive years, the Pistons for six consecutive years, and the Celtics for eight consecutive years.

Then it will weaken, and three times it will be exhausted. When it is exhausted, I will be full, so I overcome it.

Vogel tried to use chicken soup to awaken the players' fighting spirit, but at this time, even Rivers, the master of chicken soup, couldn't use it.

"The future is yours." Zuo Li touched Paul George's head. Well, it still feels comfortable.

Paul George:"???"

"it's the same!"

reporter:"………"

D'Antoni stopped pretending, was no longer afraid of poisonous milk, and finally showed a little bit of ambition.

The cruelty of reality is far from being solved by a few words of chicken soup.

"Of course!" Zuo Li looked at the reporter in surprise: "To win the championship, the next opponent must be defeated. Is this different?"

But only Zuo Li knows that next season will be the peak of the Pacers, and they will make a comeback. Now they still lack a fairy figure. Without Finson, the Pacers will have less fun. Zuo Li can't wait for Finson to face him.

James blows the wind.

…

Zuo Li returned to New York with the team that night. Depending on the opponent's level, they would have about a week to rest.

During this period, the Knicks' task once again became preparation for the game, and by the way, we took a look at how the four teams in the Western Conference fared.

The league also determined the final awards for this regular season on the 20th.
