Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

As the referee threw the ball into the sky, the game between the Knicks and Trail Blazers began!

The starting lineup for both sides is as follows:

Knicks: Center left, power forward Randolph, small forward Wilson Chandler, shooting guard Larry Hughes, point guard Duhon.

This is Larry Hughes' first Knicks game. After November, the Knicks' four new players can finally play on behalf of the Knicks. In addition to Larry Hughes, who is fighting the fire, Novaka, Della

Both Ji Qi and Harrington are on the bench, and with Ke Liu and David Lee, the Knicks are now considered to be full of talents.

Trail Blazers: Center Oden, power forward Ade, small forward Batum, shooting guard Roy, point guard Blake.

Auden put in quotation marks his just comment on Zuo Li's "kindness" in the opening moment.

Zuo Li not only jumped up in front of him and swiped the ball away, but when he landed, he gently shook his head and spread his hands to show that he didn't mean to be so awesome.

This is not a kind-hearted little rookie, he is clearly an experienced player on the court!

Don't be too skillful in this way of irritating your opponent.

However, Oden was really motivated by Zuo Li. McMillan was originally planning to increase his playing time in this game. You must know that the Blazers have used him very conservatively since his comeback. His average playing time is only 20 minutes per game, which is the most.

One game only lasts 25 minutes, and this time, MacMillan unprecedentedly allowed 30 minutes.

Although 30 minutes is nothing to most players, for Oden, who is plagued by injuries, this number is really a long time coming.

Moreover, the opponent is still Zuo Li. This is definitely the best opportunity for Oden since entering the NBA.

So he mustered up his momentum and stared at Zuo Li, because he knew that Zuo Li had always played as a defender before and liked to use dribbling to trick the big man defending him.

And according to what McMillan told him at the beginning, the Knicks are best at playing fast at the beginning, taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to use the left stand to drive the rhythm.

But surprisingly, Zuo Li did not take the initiative to catch the ball tonight, nor did he get into position quickly. Instead, he waved his hand and ran slowly to the inside.

This is a battleground!

Oden is happy. His knees may not be able to keep up when playing fast, but he still has experience in playing position.

Oden opened his arms and showed a confident smile on his face. His confidence is well-founded. Four days ago, he played against the Bulls and tortured Noah in 20 minutes. He scored 9 points and 11 rebounds while letting Noah get the best of him.

Ah only scored 5 points.

And 6 days ago, in the second game of his comeback against the Lakers, facing the Lakers twin towers that swept the Western Conference, although Oden was not completely restrained, his 18 minutes of playing time caused enough trouble for the opponent, and Bynum still blamed him.

Completed dunks 3 times.

Even CCTV commentator Yu Jia, who saw Zuo Li backing up for the ball, said: "Zuo Li's backing up is good, but is it better to play against a player with weight and wingspan like Oden... Well, when I don't

explain!"

Yu Jiahua was still in his throat when he saw Zuo Li receiving Du Hong's pass, without stopping the ball, turning around and relying on Oden to shoot a three-step jumper.

A standard bunny hop!

"In!"

"Nice goal!"

"Zuo Li opened the scoring for the Knicks!"

Fortunately, the long-term commentators have already trained Yu Jia to be thick-skinned, and he immediately accepted it as if nothing was wrong.

"This ball is beautiful. Oden has weight. Then I will use my skills to beat you. I have said it before. Is Zuo Li the kind of person who eats his body? He is not! His body is just a part, the most important thing

What's more important is his technique, his technique is really good, this is Oden, he just fights when he says it!" Director Zhang started the daily operation with a smile.

Yu Jia looked at his senior with admiration. You can lick it...ahem, I still need to learn more from my senior.

Oden looked at Zuo Li in surprise. Just from the ball just now, he already knew that there was no real warrior under his reputation. He tried his best to defend, but Zuo Li's skills were really strong. Outsiders may not know it, but in

The moment he turned around, Zuo Li actually made a fake move in the opposite direction. Although it was very small, it did affect him.

Coupled with the smooth bunny hop, Oden knew that in terms of offensive skills, he was not as good as Zuoli.

But Oden was not the kind of person to admit defeat. He immediately asked Roy to have a fight.

"Stand up!" Of course Roy would not refuse. Although the outside world was saying that he was the leader of the Trail Blazers, he never thought about competing with Oden. On the contrary, he extremely hoped that Oden could come back.

Because he also knew that was the opportunity for the Blazers to win the championship.

So Roy tried his best to take away the defense and asked Oden to come out for a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Roy directly pretended to break through. Zuo Li had to misplace the defense, but Roy did not go it alone and directly made a high-profile move. Oden picked the ball in the air and adjusted after landing.

Direct one-arm dunk!

"Oh~! Excellent cooperation, Oden also scored! It's a response to Zuo Li's score just now!" Yu Jia said.

But obviously Oden himself is not satisfied with this. He hopes to have the opportunity to directly confront Zuo Li on the offensive end.

Soon, Oden got a chance. In the next round, Larry Hughes hit the iron and made a tip-in behind him. On the offensive end, Oden finally got the ball with his back. Using his physical strength, Oden stepped up and hit the board.

Into the basket!

"Roar~!" Oden roared and beat his chest after scoring.

At this time, fans in the entire stadium felt a suffocating tension.

This was Auden's letter of challenge to Zuo Li.

And Zuo Li is never afraid of challenges!

Larry Hughes made a very face-saving pass. He took the ball from the left near the penalty area in a three-threat posture. He faked the pass to keep Ade away from double-teaming, and then followed the trend of the three-threat.

Auden refused to give an inch.

Zuo Li kept making false moves, but Oden was not fooled. His defensive ability has always been the reason why Oden is valued.

However, Zuo Li was different from any center he had encountered. Zuo Li moved his crotch, and then incredibly lowered his center of gravity again, and he rushed directly towards Oden's right hand!

bump!

The two collided heavily, but Zuo Li was not affected at all. He pushed Oden hard, held the ball in his right hand, and took three steps. You can even see the deformation of the basketball in Zuo Li's hands.

Despite Oden's best efforts, Zuo Li still scored the ball.

Respond to the ball!

"These two people really lived up to everyone's expectations!" Director Zhang's hair straightened when he saw them.

Then throughout the first half, Zuo Li and Oden became the protagonists on the court.

This crazy collision!

Such a hearty confrontation!

The two used the NBA's strongest talents in the past two years to compose the most intense music together!

The score between the two teams was always tight, and just before the end of the first half, the most exciting scene of the game took place.

It’s Zuo Li again!

On the offensive end, during the pick-and-roll, Dragic, who just came on the field, distributed the ball, received the ball from the left, and rose up in three steps!

Across Oden!

Zuo Li made a choice that made all commentators open their mouths. He wanted to dunk Oden!

Oden naturally would not give in. He raised his hands with all his strength to block Zuo Li's dunk. The huge force caused Zuo Li to lose his balance.

However…

He had obviously lost his center of gravity in the air, but relying on his incredible long arms, Zuo Li forced the basketball into the basket through Oden!

Bang!

The basketball enters the frame and the referee's whistle sounds almost at the same time!

"21 buckle!"

"Oh mom~!!!!"

Commentators all over the world are excited at the same time!
