Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

16 rebounds in the half, 10 of which were offensive rebounds.

For a moment, Barkley thought he was watching Moses Malone play.

"Zuo Li's performance tonight was really great. Please allow me to express my appreciation. He completely controlled the inside. He could find any rebound spot. Big Z and Big Ben were completely fooled, not to mention the opponent.

It's not the same level," Buckley said.

It's amazing to have double figures in rebounds at halftime, but it's nothing new. Although centers are declining now, and powerful centers in the new century such as O'Neal and Dayao Yao are not good at rebounding, there are too many rebounding monsters in the history of the NBA.

Not to mention Chamberlain, who still holds the NBA total rebound record, and famous insiders such as Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Elvin Hayes, who are slightly weaker than Dashuai Zhang, are all famous rebounding monsters.

.

Barkley himself is also famous for being able to grab rebounds. In terms of rebounding, Barkley can proudly say that even Duncan would have difficulty competing with him.

Barkley's career total rebounds reached 12,546, ranking 19th in the NBA, with an average of 11.7 rebounds per game, including 4,260 offensive rebounds, averaging 4 offensive rebounds per game!

And Barkley actually had an amazing performance of 16 offensive rebounds in three games in his career. Think about his height of 198cm.

Flying pigs in the sky live up to their reputation.

But when it comes to grabbing offensive rebounds, it has to be Moses Malone.

People with the surname Malone in the NBA seem to be very powerful, Karl Malone, Jeff Malone, Moses Malone!

Moses Malone grabbed 16,212 rebounds in his 19-year career, ranking fifth in NBA statistics!

Among them, there are 6,731 offensive rebounds, ranking first in NBA history, and more than 2,000 more than the second place. In the same type of technical statistics, this is the largest gap between first and second place.

And his average offensive rebounds per game reached 5.1, which is also the highest in NBA history!

The most outrageous thing is that Moses Malone had more than 10 offensive rebounds in 20 games in his career!

This is simply legendary.

Because backcourt rebounds can help, such as the Thunder assisting the rebounder, it simply helps every dream.

But there are no offensive rebounds, there is no brushing, and it is impossible to let go, so Moses Malone's offensive rebounding ability is really terrifying.

Of course, Rodman must also have a name on the rebounds. As the only rebounding player in NBA history, Rodman's average offensive rebounds per game is a little lower than Moses Malone, and the total number is even higher, and considering

It only took 14 seasons for Da Chong to rise to fourth place in NBA history in rebounding. In terms of rebounding, he is really impeccable.

Moreover, in the Pistons' home game against the Pacers on March 4, 1992, Rodman grabbed 34 rebounds by himself, setting a career-high record. Among them, 18 offensive rebounds were also the highest in NBA history.

Highest record.

In the first half tonight, Zuo Li's performance was like the above.

And considering that Zuo Li scored 18 points while getting 16 rebounds, and he was on his way to double 20, this was completely incompatible with Rodman, but very similar to Moses Malone's style.

Of course, Barkley would never admit that he didn't want to praise Rodman because of the grudge between the two!

Smith did not refute. Barkley did have a say in the main rebound, and besides, he played really well on the left side in this half.

The score of 60 to 44 is very eye-catching. The Knicks are still leading by double digits!

The shooting percentage was even more outrageous. The Cavaliers, who shot 42% from the field, only scored 44 points, while the Knicks, who shot 36%, scored 60 points at halftime.

Countless Cavaliers fans are frustrated. This is the first time they have seen a double-digit lead with a shooting percentage as low as 6%.

Did the Cavaliers play poorly?

No, except for the inside, everyone else performed normally, especially James. 24 points in the first half was an extraordinary performance. In the second quarter, he scored 14 points in 12 minutes of slow play. The defense was surprisingly not stretched.

.

But the point difference is that the bigger Yola is, if they hadn't been chasing a few points at the beginning of the second quarter, maybe they would be ready to turn off the TV and go back to bed to fish.

So what's the problem?

Rebounds!

In the first half, the Knicks outrebounded the Cavaliers 31-15, which was more than double that of the Cavaliers, and their offensive rebounds were even more embarrassing at 11-1. The Knicks relied on offensive rebounds to get 11 more offensive opportunities, and the second offense scored half a point.

It was as high as 29 points, and the Cavaliers were an embarrassing 2 points...

"Those who get rebounds win the world."

It’s time for this famous saying to come out again.

The Knicks vividly demonstrated the importance of rebounding in this half.

Being able to grab rebounds is so willful. Don't be afraid if you can't make a shot, someone will make it up!

Cavaliers fans were mad, but they didn’t know where to start, so they decisively started daily mode:

"Huang Zhan tried his best, teammate CBA."

"James is awesome! Teammate sb!"

"Feeling sorry for James!"

"# Cavaliers Teammate Status#"

"The inside line is papery, James, run quickly, your teammates are not worthy of you!"

…

Other teammates of the Cavaliers: "..." I am used to it.

People subconsciously ignore the embarrassing fact that James only had 1 rebound in the half, and that’s right. What kind of rebounds can a small forward grab? Your center can’t even grab it, so why should I grab it!?

Big Z: "Brother, that's not what you said when you got a triple-double..."

But that's not important, just take the blame.

And it’s only half a half, there’s still another half to go!

In the second half, the limelight still hasn't changed. The Knicks' outside shooting tonight almost robbed the four newcomers to death, especially Novak. He only threw three or four in a game with the Rockets.

I was scolded, but if you look at Duhong, Keliu and Chandler tonight, one made 2 of 5 shots, one made 2 of 6 shots, and one made 2 of 4 shots. If you look at them, they are all inseparable from two, and you will know how many twos there are.

But just dare to vote!

Zuo Li really gives up shots. Anyway, Zuo Li often controls 2 or more of the 4 frontcourt boards. For the outside shooters, the pressure is infinitely reduced.

Then…

Novak was so greedy that he cried!

"A three-point shot! Another three-point shot! Keliu shot like crazy today! The 8th one! Unfortunately, he missed again, and it was Zuo Li's rebound. The goddess of luck favored Zuo Li tonight!"

"Randolph also passed the ball, and Du Hong threw it! Damn it, it's in, it's in! It's 16 points ahead, and Xiao Mo's three-pointer just now was canceled out!"

"Zuo Li! Tip-up! I lost count of the number tonight, my 20th rebound and my 13th offensive rebound!"

"The Cavaliers can only rely on James' strong attack to save the situation. Xiao Mo was also strong tonight, with 1 rebound in the left backcourt."

…

The commentators also cried when they watched it. This game was really miserable for Da Z and Da Ben. They only had 10 rebounds in the third quarter, while Zuo Li had 26 rebounds...

Finally, the game ended, 121-104, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers. Zuo Li, who had just returned to the bench with 23 seconds left, was chatting and laughing with his teammates.

And Knicks fans cheered wildly.

"Congratulations to Zuo Li, the monster with 30 rebounds in a single game in NBA history will be joined by one more tonight!" the commentators shouted.
