Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Although Paul's official height is only 183 centimeters, he is rarely blocked on the court because of his strong sense of rhythm.

Unlike Allen Iverson, who is also in the 183 Club, who has all kinds of explosive skills, can dominate one-on-one, and can make up dunks over the center's head, Paul relies on his sense of rhythm to make a living. His breakthrough speed is not very fast, and he does not spend much time.

, breakthrough relies on the gap after the pick-and-roll, but his sense of rhythm is definitely the best in the NBA.

This is also reflected in the way he passes the ball. Unlike Nash, Nash's passing is more open and closed. The passing of the ball in progress is about smooth flow.

But Paul rarely passes long passes. He is better at playing positional battles. This does not mean that he cannot play fast breaks, but positional battles can better utilize Paul's characteristics, which is to use pick-and-rolls to play with poor rhythm.

Just like the ball just now, it is the Hornets' biggest scoring weapon. They use Paul to play pick-and-rolls with people in various positions, and then let Paul decide whether to play the ball or attack by himself.

He wanted to pass the ball just now, because Zuo Li was obviously coming for him, and Chandler and him had a tacit understanding. This point completely collapsed after the Hornets traded Chandler for Okafor, who has obviously stronger personal offensive ability.

It's obvious.

However, his pass was seen through by Zuo Li!

Still the most coquettish throw-and-ball interception!

This directly angered Paul and inspired Paul's competitive spirit. In the next round, he once again called Chandler to pick and roll.

Exactly the same location!

This is the legendary ANSWER BALL?!

The audience was excited about this scene, and many spectators shouted:

"Knock him to pieces Chris, let him know how powerful he is!"

"Show the New York guy something awesome!"

"Go up, go up! Let them see the strength of the Wasp!"

…

However, the shouts of the fans stopped abruptly after 5 seconds, and were replaced by rows of gasps.

In the same position, Paul and Chandler were more careful this time. Chandler even deliberately leaned forward and blocked Dragic's path with a posture that could easily be judged as a moving screen. Before cutting inside, he

He blocked Zuo Li's steps again, leaving more space for Paul.

Paul took a small step back to pull his body back, and then took advantage of the gap to pass the ball directly. This time he even deliberately raised his position so that Zuo Li could not intercept it. How can I put it, even if he stood on the opponent's side?

From a perspective, no one else has this kind of rhythm.

However, these movements are very beautiful, but the tactical intention is too obvious!

It is difficult to use one set of tactics to conquer the world on the court, and it is difficult to succeed with the same move in two consecutive rounds, let alone the one that just failed!

This time Zuo Li was not prepared to target Paul at all. He focused all his attention on Chandler. He expected that after the ball just now, Chandler would help squeeze out more space and then pass down the ball.

This will put less pressure on Paul, but it will slow down his speed!

Zuo Li immediately caught up with him. When Chandler caught the ball under the basket and was about to turn around and dunk, Zuo Li dunked the ball away!

That’s right!

Just buckle!

This is similar to the volleyball smash action. Chandler was blocked in the air. The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard, bounced down and even hit Chandler's big head. Then, Zuo Li was hit by the ground.

Hold on!

Quarterback pass!

Zuo Li has practiced Nash's words and deeds, and he will resolutely pass it on if he has the opportunity!

The ball flew to the ceiling and then hit the frontcourt. Although the pass was a bit wide, Dragic, who had just started a fast break, still got the basketball before Paul and completed the layup in three steps!

The angry Paul even paid the thugs once, and the score was 21!

"An incredible block. Zuo Li once again saw through the pick-and-roll between Paul and Chandler. This time it was another volleyball-style block. Maybe Chandler has never been so embarrassed in his life. He even sat on the basket.

Down below!" Barkley yelled:

"Maybe Zuo Li went to practice volleyball during the offseason!"

"I don't know about volleyball, but my ability to predict and react is on line, and that pass just now, I was so brave. Dragic was one step slower and Paul got it, it's the limit!" Smith said to Zuo Li in these two rounds.

The ability shown is full of praise.

Dragic made a solid free throw, and the Knicks started 5-0.

"SHIT!" The consecutive setbacks at the beginning made Paul more and more angry. He was under tremendous pressure tonight, not only because of that terrible Christmas night, but also because of the uneven current situation of the team this season.

The outside world was already questioning Paul's ability to lead the team, and a gap developed between him and Scott.

The best solution to these things is to win, so Paul decided to do it himself!

If this happened in the past, Paul might have calmed down. After all, it can be seen from these two rounds that the Knicks made many targeted arrangements for Paul, but now Paul can no longer calm down.

In the next round, Paul continued the pick-and-roll. This time he chose West, and Randolph followed. He still had enough energy at the beginning, and he guarded the inside from the left. He lost his position because there was nothing.

Paul plays a small game. This is the best time for Paul to score. It stands to reason that he can just shoot, because Paul's killer move is actually the mid-range in various positions after getting rid of it, especially at the top of the arc. The hit rate can reach 65.4

%.

But he must break through this time!

Maybe because he was really anxious, he also played a trick on Randolph, pulling back after the breakthrough, and then broke through and made a three-step underhand layup.

However, the proud Paul seems to have forgotten that there is Zuo Li on the inside!

Zuo Li made a judgment the moment he started, Paul was going to attack this ball himself!

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Zuo Li, as a defender in his previous life, naturally would not give up his research on many high-quality defenders in the league at that time. Chris Paul was one of them. When Zuo Li traveled through time, Paul was still at the end of his peak, so Zuo Li naturally studied him a lot.

deep.

Paul's character is competitive and has a strong self-esteem. He is the kind of person who must fight back on the court.

Sure enough, Paul himself came in to kill him, which played into Zuo Li's plan!

Snapped!

Zuo Li directly blocked Paul's layup!

"Fuck!"

This ball completely shocked the fans, and it was blocked again, two times in a row!?

This Zuo Li is going crazy!

It’s not over yet!

Chandler got the ball and threw it to Dragic. He quickly started a fast break, but was pulled away by an angry Paul for a tactical foul.

The ball came out from the sideline. He stood up in the low post and turned around to score with Chandler!

"Perfect offense and defense, Zuo Li is in great shape tonight!" Yu Jia waved his hand, his dominance was absolutely amazing at the beginning.

"He is very excited. In three rounds, three successful defenses and two blocks, Zuo Li simply set up his own area in the penalty area tonight! This is so reasonable. This is the power of a big center." Director Zhang also agreed.

It becomes reasonable.
