Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Okay! If you are confident, then just do it." After listening to Zuo Li's ideas, D'Antoni patted Zuo Li's shoulder with appreciation.

Tactics are not the most important thing. It is enough to confirm that Zuo Li was not depressed because of the unsatisfactory first half.

Now it seems that Zuo Li is more tenacious than he thought. Not only was he not affected, he was thinking about how to fight back. This is an essential quality for a super giant!

Anyway, in D'Antoni's mind, those guys who admit defeat in advance and find excuses to shirk responsibility cannot be called super giants no matter how strong they are.

As for tactics…

D'Antoni also had to admit that it was still feasible to a certain extent, but the main factor still lies with Zuo Li.

Zuo Li said this: "As expected in the second half, they will still defend me like this. It is not certain that I will get to the free throw line, because now we are the ones who want to stop the clock, and they are also afraid of being disrupted."

"So I will be tougher. As long as I can beat Artest, they will have to replace me to defend me. Then, we will be back on track!"

"Dragic, Novak, Harrington, David Lee, Randolph, guys, the second half is up to you!"

What Zuo Li means is that he will open up the situation, attract the defense, and at the same time allow Dragic to speed up. Randolph, David Lee, Harrington and Novak provide fire support, especially David Lee and Novak.

Wacker needs their three-point support to bring down the Rockets.

This doesn't sound wrong. No matter which coach comes, this is the only way.

After all, the Knicks are a single-core team. The biggest problem with single-core is that once the only core is restrained, they have almost no other points to stand up and take responsibility. Therefore, if they want to make a comeback, they must have a normal core to have a chance.

But the problem is here, how can Zuo Li break the situation?

D'Antoni didn't expect it, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he lost by 17 points. The worst it could be was a defeat, so he chose to believe Zuo Li!

In the third quarter, the Knicks took the lead in making personnel adjustments, with Zuo Li, Dragic, Ke Liu, Novak and Harrington taking the lead, a typical lineup with strong offense and weak defense.

The Rockets added Scola and Uncle Mu, Tracy McGrady partnered with Battier on the outside, and the defender was still little black bean Brooks.

The noisy Madison Square Garden erupted with all the cheers at the beginning of the third quarter. They also knew that if they wanted to come back, the third quarter was their last chance.

Adelman didn't understand that Zuo Li still started the game, because if he had given Zuo Li a few minutes to recover, after all, Zuo Li had been taken care of in the first half, and his defensive intensity had definitely reached a super level.

At this pace, his physical energy was definitely consumed faster than usual.

"It seems they are preparing for a last-ditch effort." Adelman showed a confident smile, crossed his arms, and waved arrogantly, signaling his team to attack with all their strength.

He will completely resolve the battle in the third quarter!

Game start!

When the Knicks came up, they still chose to play Zuo Li. Standing in front of Zuo Li was 'Batman' Shane Battier, a player that Zuo Li admires very much.

Off the court, he is low-key, humble and polite.

On the court, he has a high IQ, excellent mental quality, and excellent defense. He never competes or grabs but always finds his own value.

Battier really relies on his own strength to defend on the court. He makes very few small moves and does not hurt anyone. He is the kind of player who makes it difficult for the opponent's players to find any serious problems. On the offensive end, he is superb with three-pointers and always makes a lot of mistakes.

Make contributions at critical moments.

In my memory, Battier often played an important role in the Heat. In the 11-12 season finals, the Heat defeated the Thunder. Battier made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the last game. In the 12-13 season finals, the Heat defeated the Spurs. In the last game, Battier

Till made 6 of 8 three-pointers.

This kind of player is really what every team wants to have.

He also plays the same role in the Rockets, and now he is responsible for replacing Artest, who needs a rest, and guarding Zuo Li.

There was no trash talk, a rare peace of mind for Zuo Li. After the pick-and-roll, Zuo Li chose to go inside. Battier stepped forward to prepare for a confrontation. His confrontation was not as good as Artest, and it was difficult to resist Zuo Li, but he would make a move.

effort.

To be honest, the moment Zuo Li turned around, Shane was already ready to fall back...

Ahem, Varejao is not the only one who is professional in making fouls!

However, Zuo Li's next move made Shane freeze in place...

On the court, facing Battier's defense, Zuo Li did not forcefully go inside like he did in the first half, because although Uncle Mu was old, his defense was still good, so Zuo Li chose to use the skills he had trained for a while.

Use it!

Two meters away from the three-point line, Zuo Li's dribbling body suddenly tilted sideways. He grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and used his left hand to protect the ball. At the same time, he raised his right arm above his head and waved his palm.

, give it away gently with your fingertips!

brush!

Score in!

Shane turned his head and looked at it, a little at a loss. Why did he get in?!

really!

This is not even close to the restricted area!

At the same time, all the New York fans unconsciously let out an exclamation.

What the hell!

Skyhooks are coming to Madison!?

"Oh my God~! Oh my God, what did I see! Sky hook?! This is the sky hook! Zuo Li actually used the sky hook in the game!" Yu Jia was directly ignited by this ball.

It’s time to reveal your identity as a hidden Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fan!

"It's true, this is really big!" Director Zhang also gave a thumbs up. Everyone here counts. Many people have never seen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 'Sky Hook' with his own eyes, but Director Zhang is different. He has really seen it.

!

In 1978, Director Zhang even came close to representing the Chinese team against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Unfortunately, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had just entered the NBA from college that year, and Director Zhang regretfully missed this opportunity.

Not only that, there were a lot of topics during Director Zhang’s visit to the United States, and tens of thousands of words could be said about what he left behind. For example, over the years at Madison Garden, there have been countless records witnessed, but the only draw was when Director Zhang left behind

Yes, I have to say, it's a bit magical.

Don’t evaluate what happened back then, just return to the present.

Director Zhang’s words can be regarded as complete certification. Zuo Li’s is really a sky hook, a unique skill that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has dominated for so many years!

How can it be?!

When did Zuo Li learn this?!

The Sky Hook is not a piece of cake. In this era when centers are struggling to learn the hook, there is basically no market for something like the Sky Hook that requires both confrontation and soft touch.

Moreover, this thing is too difficult to practice, and it cannot be mastered just by spending time.

Rather than spending so much time and energy practicing something that you are not very proficient in, it is better to change to a few simple ones.

Taken together, these are the biggest reasons why Sky Hook disappeared in the NBA.

But today, Tiangou reappeared!

"This kid." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was watching TV, picked up a donut and was finally willing to use it. He thought Zuo Li would hide it for how long.

"Let me see how much you've learned." Kareem thought.
