Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

espn: "With 26 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks, Zuo Li set a career-high in blocks in a single game in the playoffs. However, this performance failed to bring them a victory. The Knicks lost to North Shore Garden 88-105.

The first game was also the most crucial one, 2-1, with the Knicks trailing by a total score."

Barkley: "This game is a battle of superstars. The Celtics' new Big Three combination and the interior twin towers all played their roles. Pierce had 18 points and 7 rebounds, Ray Allen had 28 points, Rondo had 14 points, 13 assists and 6 assists.

In rebounds, Tony Allen had 8 points, Perkins had 11 points, Davis had 10 points and 6 rebounds. For the Knicks, only Zuo Li performed normally, Randolph only scored 13 points, David Lee only had 7 points, and Ke Liu had 9 points.

points, it is normal to lose in this way, but the problem of Zuo Li being double-teamed by three people really needs to be solved. The Knicks need to find helpers for him, and don’t let him fight alone! People on the outside must step up and fight with

Same as the first game.”

Sports Illustrated: "I have to admit that the Knicks were happy too early. After winning the first game, they seemed to have gained everything, but the two disastrous losses that followed made them realize who they were facing. Kyle

The special man allowed the Knicks to score less than 90 points for two consecutive games, but he played a phenomenal performance, 2-1, and the next game was at home, and the Knicks encountered the biggest crisis of the season..."

CCTV Sports: "It's time for the Knicks to go back and make a summary. Except for Zuo Li, everyone else needs to review."

Tencent Sports: "The Knicks suddenly stopped playing. They looked very messy on the court and were completely torn apart by the Celtics' defense."

Boston Post: “Back to original form? This is the true face of the Knicks!”

Boston Sports News: "Easy! We know we are looking for form! Winning consecutive games will let us go to the Eastern Conference Finals!"

…

Lost, lost again.

After an 18-point home defeat, they were torn apart by the Celtics with a 17-point advantage at North Shore Garden.

Overwhelming reports are coming, and all kinds of comments and analyzes are pouring in. Some of the brainless trolls just start trolling. There is no anger in trolling the Knicks players. Taunting Zuo Li is a cancer and you will only score points. Taunting everyone in the Knicks is still soft.

The egg shattered as soon as it was touched, and the Knicks were so sleepwalking that they didn't know what to say...

In short, everyone from top to bottom, from the starter to the bench, to the coach, and even Dolan who was lying on the spot was pulled out and scolded.

It’s hard to believe that less than 5 days have passed since the praise from all over the world. The timeliness of the media is fully reflected here.

The Knicks, who were the light of basketball five days ago and the favorite to win the championship, have now been mocked as a 'fake strong team', a 'feeling team', a 'weak team' and so on.

Changed the human room.

This is the truest feeling from everyone in the Knicks.

Oh, or in other words, they no longer know what feelings are.

The visiting team's dilapidated locker room, which couldn't even find a complete fan, was as quiet as you can imagine. The Knicks, who had been beaten up and beaten, returned here in a state of disgrace. No one spoke, and time seemed to have stopped.

There was only sound coming from the TV hanging on the wall, where the Celtics, who had just won and were beaming with joy, were being interviewed.

Pierce: "Happy? Fortunately, they didn't create many difficulties for us. 2-1 is normal. As you all know, we entered the state slowly, but now that we are back, we will continue to maintain it and win fourth place."

field."

Perkins: "Zuo Li beat me? That's not the case. It's all tactics. Do you understand the tactics? I'm responsible for holding him back, and then the others are responsible for dealing damage. The Knicks are too bad. They were the first one in the game."

lucky."

Ray Allen: "Six games, I think it's enough for us to advance to the next round."

Rivers: "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals."

…

If the Knicks locker room had heard this sentence normally, it would have exploded, but tonight it was clear that no one had any reaction, and everything was lifeless.

No one tried to cheer up the spirits of his teammates. After such a failure, the most important thing was to rest, so D'Antoni chose to be interviewed by himself, while the Knicks simply packed up and returned to the hotel.

Lying on the big bed in the hotel, listening to the firecrackers set off by the excited Celtics fans outside the window, Zuo Li laughed at himself:

"Sure enough, the playoffs won't be that simple. Sure enough, we were inflated before. If we inflate, we will lose. The ancients do not deceive me."

It was so smooth before, sweeping the Bulls 4-0 and winning 5 consecutive games in the playoffs. Zuo Li couldn't help but have the idea that the playoffs would be nothing more than this, even though he knew that the opponents were very strong. In the past three years in history, except for the Lakers in the Western Conference

, the Celtics in the Eastern Conference are the most difficult to deal with. Their ability to adjust is extremely strong. The team has veterans like Pierce and Ray Allen as well as new generations like Rondo. The old lead the new and are full of combat power.

.

Moreover, winning the first game has an element of luck. If it happens, any team can win. Although luck has always been a part of the game, if there is no luck, it is the time to test the true strength of a team.

Obviously, the Knicks have not withstood the test.

Of course, this is understandable. After all, the Knicks are a team with rookies playing the leading role. Zuoli and Dragic are both rookies in the starting lineup. Chandler is only in his second year. Randolph doesn't have much playoff experience.

Only Larry Hughes played in the Finals two years ago with the Cavaliers.

The same is true for the substitutes. David Lee is a third-year player, Du Hong is a second-year player, and Ewing Jr. is a rookie. The proportion of rookies can be said to be very high.

As soon as there are more new people, it is inevitable that they will become inflated. As young people, their emotions always fluctuate greatly. In addition, the journey is smooth and the media is praising them, so their mentality will inevitably drift. When encountering an old team like the Green Army, they will lose.

The ball is inevitable.

But the outside world won't look at your reasons, and the scumbags won't give you sympathy. You don't need to look at it. Zuo Li knows that there must be a lot of ridicule from the outside world at this time. They want the Knicks to continue losing so that they can have a so-called

'Orgy of Justice'.

But fortunately, Zuo Li's mentality was only slightly affected. At this moment, he had regained his composure and turned off his mobile phone. He was not prepared to learn from anyone, nor did he want to get any comfort or strength. The source of his strength has never been

Others, but yourself.

But he cannot win alone. Now, what he needs to solve is the morale problem!

How to solve this problem?

it's actually really easy.

In the training hall the next day, Zuo Li took the initiative to reflect and attributed the loss to his lack of calmness.

"Don't say that, boss, you performed very well, it was us..." Dragic felt regretful and wanted to say a few words for Zuo Li, but Zuo Li waved his hand to stop him.

"I know what you want to say, but there's no need. I'm not here to share the blame. I'm the core and I'm the boss. Naturally, I'll take the blame for losing. There's nothing to say. If we don't consolidate the team, I won't lose.

set."

"But, I don't want to lose anymore!" Zuo Li stood around and said, "Now you should understand that your opponent is not a fool."

"I know, I'm sorry, boss, we are too proud and underestimated our opponents."

"Yes, we should not underestimate our opponents, but please also don't underestimate yourself!"

"2-1 is not the end of the world, but we have no choice."

"If we win, we go to Tianwang Mountain, or if we lose, we go home and fish. It all depends on how we perform tomorrow!"
