Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"This is amazing." Yang Yi, a bright-tongued basketball player, said that the Knicks would not be able to change him this time.

I don’t study well, so don’t lie to me.

It doesn’t matter if the No. 1 position is moved to the No. 5 position. After all, Magic Johnson is also 6 feet 9 inches (206 centimeters). Think about the Rockets’ Haiye who is 1.98 meters and insists on playing center. Magic Johnson is at least qualified in terms of height.

of.

Talent does the rest.

But this 216 centimeters to play point guard...

"First Zuo Li needs to think about how to defend." Yang Yi said.

Yes, the offense is actually pretty good. After all, Zuo Li has the foundation. He can also attack with the ball, and his passing level is much better than that of ordinary insiders. The important thing is actually the defensive end. Zuo Li's speed is unique among big men. Basically

There is no opponent, but there is no advantage on the back line. After all, the height and weight are there. Even if the left winger does not suffer from speed, after all, Billups is not good at speed, but the advantage of a small man has never been just speed.

item.

Yang Yi's worry is also the worry of the fans and the public. If this lineup does not play well, it will kill itself.

And Zuo Li didn't feel excited tonight.

Some fans feel that Zuo Li will be finished today!

In the first quarter, he only scored 5 points and 3 rebounds, without blocking any shots. This was a big gap from the god-level performance that laid the foundation for a quadruple-double in the first quarter of the previous game.

Of course, this is understandable, after all, I just got a quadruple-double in the last game, so it's normal to take a slow down.

But in the first round, Zuo Li proved their worries with practical actions to be unnecessary.

Receive the ball on the sideline and face Billups' defense on the left side. Although the height difference is obvious, Billups will not suffer much from this kind of defense outside the three-point line. On the contrary, it is more important to pay attention to the left side.

In the past, he faced big men with slow movements and slow hands when dribbling from the outside. There was no risk of being intercepted, but this time he was a defender with fast hands. Billups did not steal many steals in his career, but this season

There are also 1.2 times per game.

Billups thought the same way, so he changed from his usual calm defense on the left and directly adopted a very aggressive defense!

"Oh! Billups made a move, and he blocked Zuo Li's side. Zuo Li is very dangerous now. He needs to..."

"Forehead…"

"Nice turn!"

Yang Yi gave a vivid face-changing lesson to the people across the country.

But that's not important. What's important is that on the court, Billups' attempt to steal didn't work. Zuo Li's dribbling was very stable, and his center of gravity was a bit ridiculous for a person of his height. At the same time, his speed was also very fast.

After a reverse crotch pull and then a spin pass, Billups swayed away, took a step forward to the left and swung the ball in.

Randolph caught the ball and turned around with one move to tease Nene!

"not bad."

Billups was slightly stunned by Zuo Li's move. There were many people who could turn around in front of him, but Zuo Li was the first to do such a big man.

"Thank you." Zuo Li smiled slightly.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, but Billups was not a vegetarian. After being beaten into one, he continued to use his speed to run with Zuo Li on the offensive end. However, Zuo Li did not breathe at all and kept up with the defense perfectly.

These few seconds are enough to make the fans exclaim again and again. Watching such a big man defend like this is enough passion in itself.

However, Billups decisively called a pick-and-roll as soon as it didn't work, and then passed the ball directly to Anthony. Anthony picked-and-rolled the ball and scored from mid-range.

"You're not bad either." Zuo Li replied.

"Thank you." Billups also smiled back.

In the first round, the two sides drew 50-50.

In the next round, Zuo Li and Billups began to struggle. The two began to struggle with the ball from the baseline. However, Zuo Li still successfully carried the ball across the half court and successfully completed the pass under Randolph's pick-and-roll.

, and went straight to the basket for a shocking dunk!

Billups then responded with an assist, and Anthony scored again.

However, in the next round, the left side immediately broke into the bottom corner, and Chandler caught the ball and shot.

"Zuo Li's assist, Chandler hit a three-pointer! Zuo Li is as sharp as ever! The point difference is only 5 points!" Yang Jian said, turning to look at Yang Yi.

Well, I'm a bit autistic.

Now it seems that there is no problem for Zuo Li to play as a defender!

Not only is there no problem!

In the next round, the Knicks' three major lineups will begin to show their power!

The Nuggets had the ball, Billups broke into the penalty area after a pick-and-roll, and the Knicks switched defense decisively!

Zuo Li went directly to the inside, and Billups was followed by David Lee. What a breakthrough!

Billups rushed inside, but Zuo Li guarded the inside, and he hit a bloody cap directly like a volleyball blocker!

Snapped!

Billups was blocked, David Lee got the ball and passed it back to Zuo Li. Zuo Li dribbled the ball across half court and assisted directly. David Lee received the ball and completed a dunk!

It’s still a smooth transition between offense and defense!

Turning around, Zuo Li made another contribution. He helped defend the inside line and caught the ball inside. Holy shit, two big men, Zuo Li and Randolph, were standing on both sides.

Don't dare to move, don't dare to move!

I could only send it back, but there was an error.

The Knicks seized the opportunity to counterattack, and Zuo Li once again assisted Randolph and scored from the basket!

The difference is only one point!

powerful!

too strong!

From these rounds, it can be seen that there is no problem at all playing as a defender on the left side. It is difficult for Billups to interfere with his passing line of sight. Although his speed is not enough to pass in one step, there is no problem at all with his body.

On the contrary, this lineup made the Nuggets' already somewhat incompetent inside line even more weak. Nene was beaten by Zuo Li and Randolph several times, and Anderson next door was also beaten by David Lee, who even had to take a backcourt board.

Can't stand it any longer.

The situation is reversed!

At the end of the second quarter, the Knicks led 54-50 by 4 points. Counting the 8 points behind in the first quarter, they had a 12-point advantage in one quarter!

Fans were stunned!

This is really okay!

So they all turned their attention to D'Antoni on the coaching bench.

So, is this also what you expected...

D'Antoni smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.

Little did he know that D'Antoni was just relieved inside.

When he first joined the team, he was panicking because this lineup refreshed his world view. After so many years of coaching, he had never done such a bold thing. Zuo Li came to him before and asked him to swing to a new level.

When D'Antoni took the pick, he thought it was an April Fool's Day joke four months in advance.

The final agreement was based on his trust in Zuo Li. D'Antoni knew that Zuo Li was very smart, often had some strange ideas, and could often create seemingly impossible things, so D'Antoni agreed to do this.

There are achievements and a way out, but if you are so willful, the worst you can do is lose a game. The Knicks can still afford to lose now.

I just didn’t expect that Zuo Li would once again create a new surprise!

D'Antoni is now thinking about normalizing this "Three Deaths" tactics!

Well, is this the prototype of the Five Great Deaths that may appear in the future...
