Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"This kind of confrontation is decent." Sitting on the bench, Zuo Li drank a whole bottle of energy drink to replenish the water and electrolytes lost in the first quarter.

In the footage, the red mark on Zuoli's forearm and the scratches on his shoulder are very obvious, which also reflects the kind of defense Zuoli encountered in the first quarter.

"Zuo Li, how are you feeling? Do you have any physical problems? Do you feel any discomfort? You can take a rest in the next quarter and let the team doctor come and take a look." D'Antoni was also a little worried, and waved to the team doctor to apply ice and ice to Zuo Li.

While treating the scar, he asked Zuo Li if he needed to rest.

The first quarter was too tense and Zuo Li played the full 12 minutes.

"It doesn't matter, I can play, they can't hurt me, and I can still adapt to this level of defense." Zuo Li said it euphemistically, but everyone could feel the excitement in Zuo Li's tone.

"That's it, then you'd better rest for three or two minutes, take it easy, gather some strength, and check the situation on the court before playing." D'Antoni wiped his sweat. It was me who was careless. I almost forgot that Zuo Li was the last one.

What I am not afraid of is confrontation. Last month, I even went to the rugby field several times to get a sense of confrontation, even skipping public training.

In the team's training, he often engages in hand-to-hand combat with insiders. From the beginning of one versus two, now the whole team's substitute inside players are not enough for him to fight alone. How can such a man be afraid of confrontation...

Not only am I not afraid, but I am enjoying it!

At this time, the outside world was lamenting the defense Zuo Li encountered. ESPN even praised the efforts of the Bulls insiders, especially Miller. They believed that although he paid enough fouls, he also successfully restricted Zuo Li and allowed Zuo Li to play.

The shooting percentage in the first quarter was only 33.3%.

Little did you know that you only saw Zuo Li hit one goal, not only 3 shots. Three shots in a single quarter were far below Zuo Li's average. On the contrary, Zuo Li sent 4 assists in this quarter, exceeding his average.

It can be seen from this that Zuo Li did not focus on his own offense in this quarter, but was playing ball for his teammates.

By the way, it is natural to confuse the opponents and make them think that Zuo Li has been restrained. Only when Zuo Li returns to the court can he give them a thunderous blow!

However, Zuo Li still followed D'Antoni's advice and spent the first three minutes of the second quarter on the bench.

On the court, the Bulls, who had tasted the sweetness in the first quarter, still played wildly. The newly replaced inside men John Salmons and Tim Thomas implemented the defensive strategy in the first quarter. Although Zuo Li was not there, they still played against David Lee.

Started.

In several attacks, David Lee was beaten miserably, but he couldn't even get a whistle. Fortunately, the Knicks still had Randolph. The Big Black Bear used his weight to continuously crush him inside, scoring 6 points in a row, allowing both sides to separate.

The difference is always one point.

After 3 minutes of play, Zuo Li stood up and sat on the technical table, waiting for the dead ball to be replaced. In this round, the Bulls played wonderful cooperation. First, John Salmons cut off Randolph's ball in the paint.

, then pulled Randolph and let Tim Thomas get the ball.

"You're not bragging?" Zuo Li was speechless.

The Bulls, who advanced to the frontcourt, took advantage of Randolph's inability to defend back. In 5-on-4, inside man John Salmons made an air cut and dunk, giving the Bulls a 1-point advantage for the first time!

After scoring the goal, John Salmons roared at Zuo Li near the technical table, not knowing what kind of beast they had unleashed!

Zuo Li smiled slightly and did not fight back. Instead, he walked onto the court as usual, not forgetting to tidy up his jersey.

Zuo Li, who returned to the court, slowly walked inside, and John Salmons, who was responsible for guarding him, kept chattering in his ears. Obviously, he also came with a mission. The Bulls obviously wanted to repeat the performance of the first quarter.

On defense, use John Salmons as second cannon fodder.

"Are you done? After I finish talking, I'm going to hit him with my back!" Zuo Li didn't have time to listen to John Salmons' nonsense. He blocked the space with his shoulder, and after receiving the ball, he hit him with his back!

How terrifying was it when Zuo Li hit him with all his strength?

John Salmons felt it at this moment!

boom!

"Uh~" John Salmons felt a huge force coming from his chest, and his body lay down uncontrollably.

The referee ignored it, even if he paid attention to Zuo Li's turn and dunk, he still finished it.

Bang!

Zuoli completed the dunk.

"Yes! yes! Let these people see how powerful you are!" Spike Lee waved his fists and vented fiercely.

Fans at the scene also chanted Zuo Li's name and mocked John Salmons for his frivolous behavior.

"That's almost it. You'll fall down with just one touch. It's too fake to fall!"

"Don't touch porcelain, you old lady? No one will give you money!"

"Speechless, it's time for the alliance to straighten things out. I'm going to lie down on the ground for this little confrontation. If I can't get up, can I get you a quilt?"

…

John Salmons, who was lying on the ground, ignored the ridicule from the outside world because he felt that his ribs were about to be broken and the air in his chest was about to be knocked away...

At this time, the referee finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly suspended the game, and medical staff hurriedly entered the field to check.

It took a full 5 minutes for John Salmons to get up from the ground...

Bull Generals: "..."

Is it so cruel...it costs one person at a time?

Seeing that he couldn't play anymore, John Salmons went directly back to the locker room. The Bulls replaced Noah again. Noah hadn't played against Zuo Li in this game because Zuo Li had played with Noah before.

None of them work anymore.

But now Noah has to go.

And Noah soon understood how John Salmons felt. In the same post-up game, this time he hit the left wing twice, knocking Noah out of the way, and then turned around and made a one-handed dunk!

Bang!

Noah held his chest and calmed down for a long time.

"This confrontation is ridiculously strong." Noah was shocked. It had only been so long before Zuo Li's confrontation was already so terrifying. Although Zuo Li defeated him back then, it was because of his speed and breakthrough. Inside, Noah

He admitted that he was not defeated, but now, everything has changed.

In the next round, Noah was so angry that he showed up at 120% to meet Zuo Li's collision. However, Zuo Li still scored and fouled him!

twenty one!

It's a pity that the free throw was missed.

However, 1 minute later, Zuo Li received a pass from Chandler, faced Noah with a strong hit, and then dunked again, and at the same time once again created Noah's thug!

Noah, who had already committed 4 fouls, had to be replaced.

Miller, who had accumulated the same 4 fouls, appeared.

However, Miller only lasted 1 minute...

When he came back, Zuo Li used a tentative step to tease Miller, and then turned his back instead of breaking through.

Miller thought the opportunity had come and immediately went to try to strengthen Zuo Li.

This is how he allowed Zuo Li to take only 3 shots in the first quarter.

However, this time, Zuo Li squeezed Miller away and Miller could only touch Zuo Li's elbow...

"Beep!"

Stand left and get to the free throw line.

After scoring free throws, Zuo Li has scored an astonishing 14 points in a row, with a shooting percentage of 100%. Everyone knows that Zuo Li is in full swing!

Only Miller still thinks he can.

But the next round...

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle made him realize that he really couldn't do it...

It’s 21 again!

Four 21s in a row!

Miller, who has just played 1 minute, has already committed 6 fouls...

Miller became the first player to be sent off in this game... and also the second player Zuo Li played in this quarter. He had just played less than half of the game...

"Who's next! I can still play all night." Zuo Li shouted toward the Bulls bench.
