Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In one game, he can beat the opponent's two inside players to six fouls and leave the game. Zuo Li is like O'Neal back then.

During the game, you can often see Zuo Li running behind the opponent's two inside players. Either he passes by the top of the arc, or he turns continuously in the low position, causing Haddadi's footsteps to get knotted and his calf to twist.

In the fourth quarter, Zuo Li even dared to foul Haddadi if he dared to turn around. His defense relied entirely on his hands and mouth. He was shouting and pulling at the same time, but he just couldn't defend...

Madison fans were lucky enough to witness the whole process of a coach going from being arrogant to being pale and then to being hopeless...

After the game, Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins was spread out on a chair, with his legs lying flat, his hands hanging down weakly, and his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. In the background, Zuo Li stood on the free throw line for the nth time, and Gasol had just been fouled for the sixth time.

The photo of him sending off the field and walking to the bench was widely circulated by fans.

Fans with good intentions gloated on the website: "You thought it was Xiaojia and Haddadi who were 'killed' by Zuo Li tonight, but it was actually three!"

Some fans said: "Thanks to the fact that there are only four quarters in a basketball game, if there is another overtime, Jenkins will be sent away directly."

Poor Jenkins also successfully replaced Zuo Li as the most popular figure after the game...

Good guy, it’s true that contemporary Internet celebrities have become famous.

However, Jenkins became famous not only because of a photo and the comments made by netizens, but also because of the bizarre tactics in this game. Haddadi was used to mark Zuo Li throughout the game, causing him to passively use the "left-cutting tactic" throughout the game, and finally allowed Zuo Li to take a free throw.

The inside and outside lines were at loggerheads, and even Gasol, who was assisting in defense, committed 6 fouls and left the game.

Zuo Li took 18 free throws in the entire game, a career high, and made 13 free throws, with a shooting rate of just over 70%.

This shooting rate can be seen for the time being. It is definitely not comparable to guys like Dayao, but it is already beyond the average at the center position. After all, even Lao Zhan was 16-16 in the season when Zuoli crossed.

In the 2017 season, James' free throw percentage was only 67.4%.

It can also be seen here that Jenkins' tactics are too classic.

So much so that after this game, Grizzlies fans found the insider and demanded that Jenkins be dismissed from get out of class...

Jenkins also expressed aggrievedly: "I'm just making some new attempts. You can't use conventional ideas to defend the left winger. He can't keep up with the strong opponent. He's fast and not as strong as him. He's short and can't stop him from attacking and attacking."

When it comes to shooting, someone taller than him can’t keep up with his pace. If Milicic can’t shoot, who can I use?”

As soon as these words came out, Grizzlies fans fell silent.

really…

With the Grizzlies' lineup, who can they use?

Zuo Li's monster attributes make him a duck to water in the league. Playing the fifth position will always be a mismatch. This kind of naturally misaligned player is the most difficult to guard. For example, people like Durant and Antetokounmpo in the future will almost only get what he wants.

share.

Unless he is strong, Zuo Li is theoretically a player who cannot be restricted.

Of course, some fans expressed disgust: "Is this why you use Haddadi? No matter what Zuo Li does, using Haddadi is really outrageous."

Haddadi is outrageous?

The 76ers are dissatisfied!

On January 25, the Knicks returned to Madison overnight to face the Philadelphia 76ers, who had already beaten the Philadelphia 76ers in a back-to-back away game.

Although the Knicks are back-to-back, they have been in great shape recently. Zuo Li's touch is online and he has no injuries. Currently, he is very close to the Eastern Conference Cavaliers, Celtics, and Magic in the standings.

The 76ers belong to the third tier of the Eastern Conference. They are better than the superiors and more than the inferiors. They are a fringe team in the playoffs. They currently have the same record as the Bulls, with a 50% winning rate. They are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference based on the relationship between wins and losses.

I have to say that the Eastern Conference was really good during this period. In Zuo Li’s memory, the Cavaliers, Celtics and Magic were in the top three, and the Heat were behind them. The gap between these two teams and the Hawks behind them was very big.

The gap between No. 6 and No. 9 is no less. Generally, when the Western Conference is fighting for a playoff spot and the final ranking, the Eastern Conference has almost determined its position ten or twenty games in advance.

So the state is called a state of singing and dancing.

So even though the Knicks and 76ers are second and seventh in the Eastern Conference, the difference in strength is still larger than imagined.

However, there is some suspense. With Iguodala and Andre Miller, the 76ers who are super six-way are not as weak as the Bobcats after all, and they are still capable of fighting.

However, the game went awry from the start.

The 76ers learned the lesson that the inside was often played badly before. They chose the same style of play as the Rockets, which was to let Iguodala swing to defend the left winger!

Classic mismatch defense, the 76ers obviously want to replicate the Rockets' past success.

It's just that the 76ers have forgotten that the biggest reason why the Rockets dare to play this way is that they still have Shane Battier and Tracy McGrady at the third position, as well as Dayao and Uncle Mu in the paint. This defensive ability and player configuration are your Andre Miller and Bran

Comparable to De Neng?

So throughout the first half of the game, you could see Iguodala's face was red from holding back because he used too much force... During the halftime break, Iguodala's face didn't even turn around. It was black and red, and he looked very...

Inspiring.

Good guy, I almost changed my race in order to win.

After the game, Iguodala couldn't even speak completely: "I, we have tried and worked hard... This guy Zuo Li is incredible. Apart from Dayao, maybe he is the most powerful yellow guy I have ever seen.

Man, I...I felt like I was fighting a mountain the whole game."

Look at the child being held back.

However, Iguodala's hard work failed to win a victory because the 76ers were not good at defense. Although Iguodala worked really hard, Zuo Li could still handle the ball calmly.

There is no way, where does the height and wingspan lie? The later generations of Iguodala were able to defeat James based on the small difference in height and wingspan between the two, coupled with the overall defensive tilt of the Warriors. James was able to achieve this

In fact, every game is not bad.

When encountering Zuo Li, Iguodala couldn't guard against the back-up move.

In the end, Zuo Li scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals, including a career high in steals.

And Iguodala was too defensive, resulting in 3 of 12 shots on the offensive end and only 8 points in the game.

It's like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

The Knicks finally took away the victory with a 108-95, 13-point advantage.

Although this brave attempt gave Iguodala a reputation as someone who was not afraid of death, the viewing effect was really comical, especially when Zuo Li was 216 centimeters long and beat Iguodala from behind for the entire game. The cute height difference made

People can't help laughing.

Of course, Zuo Li still appreciated Iguodala's attitude: "I expressed condolences to him after the game. In fact, everyone who defends seriously deserves respect."

Of course, respect is respect, and it can also be seen that Zuo Li's strength has made everyone in the alliance a little crazy.

Zuo Li also discovered it, and now everyone is using more and more tricks to defend him.

Of course, it is not that no one succeeded. On January 27, the Knicks visited the Rockets. The Rockets, who were sitting at home, restricted Zuoli very well.

Relying on Dayao, Uncle Mu, Scola's inside combination, as well as Artest and Battier's crazy defense, Zuoli only scored 17 points and 11 rebounds in the game. The Rockets did not use the left-cutting tactic this time, but won the game.

of victory.

However, Yao, who struggled with Zuo Li for the whole game, only scored 16 points and 8 rebounds. The reason for the Rockets' victory was due to Tracy McGrady's sudden explosion. He made 5 of 6 shots from the three-point line and scored a season-high 27 points.

This time McGrady has been away for a long time.

I don’t know how many people watched the game and thought in their hearts, ‘Ye Qing is back’. Unfortunately, McGrady’s strength is destined to be short-lived.

In this game, the Knicks also ended their two-game winning streak with a 98-104 victory.
