Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

During the break of the first quarter, the North Shore Garden Arena was abuzz with boos, applause, and cheers. If you listened carefully, you could hear curse words mixed with various languages, and words such as 'Awesome',

Words like 'against the heaven' and 'fake'.

"Well, you...I...he...no, I don't know what to say." The on-site commentator stumbled for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

All the cameras in the world were focused on No. 0 of the Knicks, the player who walked back to the bench while accepting wild congratulations from Knicks players and coaches.

Oh, of course, there are also those who pass towels, water and massages. The style of a New York boss is undoubtedly displayed.

But there is nothing wrong with this. At this time, Zuo Li is the most glorious player on the field, bar none!

27 points in a single quarter, which is the second highest score in a single quarter in the playoffs since NBA complete statistics, second only to the 1987 "Sleeper" Slippy Floyd with the Warriors and "Magic"

"In Game 4 of the Finals, the Lakers led by Johnson scored 29 points in 12 consecutive shots in the fourth quarter.

It surpassed Iverson's 26 points in a single quarter and tied Barkley, who was originally ranked second. He also scored 27 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, the time he scored 50.

At this time, Barkley, who was sitting in the commentary box on the sidelines, obviously did not feel sad that his record was tied. He frantically called for Zuo Li, thinking that Zuo Li played a phenomenal game.

"Perfect! Zuo Li showed enough dominance. There is no doubt that this is a key battle for Zuo Li to become a superstar!" Barkley said.

"In fact, no one thinks that Zuo Li is not good enough now. Although he is a rookie, he has obviously entered the superstar level. His strength was once again verified tonight. The Celtics paid the price for their defensive tactics.

"Smith also said.

"Kenny, how many points do you think Zuo Li can score tonight?" Barkley, who was calmer, turned to ask.

"I shouldn't be worse than you, right?" Smith joked with a smile.

In the game where Barkley scored 27 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, Barkley ended up scoring 56 points and 14 rebounds in this game, setting a career high in the playoffs.

The 56 points ranked third in the league's single-game playoff scoring list, second only to Jordan (63 points) and Baylor (61 points).

So Kenny Smith's words are not only a joke on Barkley, but also an endorsement of Zuo Li's scoring ability.

In a word, based on his performance in the first quarter, Zuo Li is completely unstoppable!

And the point difference was not big at this time. Although the Celtics failed to guard Zuo Li in the first quarter, the rest of the Knicks really didn't score, except for Dragic's 2 points and Randolph's 3 points.

The substitutes did not score a single point, scoring a total of 32 points in a single quarter.

Although the Celtics fell behind, they relied on the late scoring of Pierce, Ray Allen and two three-pointers from substitute Tony Allen to score 24 points in a single quarter, falling behind by 8 points. The problem was not too big.

This gave Zuo Li a chance to continue to perform.

Of course, it depends on whether the Celtics will continue their defense in the first quarter. You must know that many people attribute Zuoli's performance to Rivers' employment. Perkins' single defense is really not good at all.

Zuo Li also kept calling pick-and-rolls, causing Perkins to be constantly consumed by Zuo Li in singles, so many Green Army fans felt that it was time to use a double attack.

In the second quarter, Zuo Li came on as a substitute in the 11th minute. The short one-minute break obviously did not put any pressure on Zuo Li's touch. On the twelfth shot, Zuo Li made a 'rabbit jump' near the penalty area again.

scored.

"Oh~!" Knicks fans stood up and applauded in front of the TV. They made 12 out of 12. Now their fun, besides winning or losing, is to see when Zuo Li will miss the first ball of the game.

"Now Zuo Li's hand feels hotter than magma. He has simply let go. Now everyone is staring at him, including the rest of the Knicks. They are looking for him no matter what!"

"Dragic broke through and passed!"

"Ah! I missed the shot. Zuo Li missed his first shot of the game. It was a three-pointer from the top of the arc. It was a bit powerful. The ball that popped up was hit by Zuo Li again. On the 7th rebound, he faked a move to pass the par.

Jins is shaking! Get strong!"

"Score in!"

With Yu Jiaji's excited but regretful explanation, Zuo Li finally missed the first shot of the game. At this time, 6 minutes had passed in the second quarter, that is, in the entire 18 minutes of the game, Zuo Li

He didn't miss a single shot, and his hitting streak remained at 14-for-14.

At present, Zuo Li, who missed one shot but scored in the second attack, still maintains a super high shooting rate of 15 of 16.

Look at Rivers again...

"Defend! Guard me fiercely! No matter what, flank him, flank him, or foul him if it doesn't work, and make bigger moves! Don't let him take f##k easily! I can't handle it..."

Well, obviously he no longer had the calmness and calmness he had at the beginning. He shouted in front of the bench and asked the Celtics players to stand on the defensive side.

But...the effect is average!

At this time, Zuo Li has completely entered the state. This state is very mysterious, but it is real. In Zuo Li's eyes, the basket at this time is as vast as the sea, and there is endless strength in his body!

Turn around, jump up, and make up for the dunk!

Turn over, hit hard, dunk!

Facing the Celtics' brutal flanking attack and foul attack, Zuo Li still showed no flaws and continued to score efficiently.

Zuo Li was replaced by Randolph with one minute left in the second quarter. At this time, he had scored 41 points.

41 points at halftime!

Zuo Li successfully surpassed the record of 34 points in a playoff half set by Vince Carter in 2001, becoming the player with the highest half-time score in the playoffs.

This is the first halftime 40 in NBA playoff history!

This is a record that none of the super scoring machines such as Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Iverson, etc. have been able to break.

In this quarter, Zuoli made 4 of 6 shots and 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 14 points.

15 of 17 shots in the half also set a new record for half-time field goal percentage in the playoffs!

This was originally a very good result. In history, not many people can score 14 points in the playoffs, but for some reason Celtic fans still feel relieved...

This is defense working!

But actually the Celtics played very poorly in this quarter!

Because of the crazy flanking of Zuo Li, the other Knicks had more opportunities to take shots, especially open shots. Randolph and David Lee scored 6 points and 5 points in this quarter. Together with Zuo Li, the Knicks were able to take more shots.

The score was 30-18 in one quarter, and the difference widened to 20 points at halftime.

Looking at this point difference, Knicks fans love and fear each other. What they love is that they have a high probability of winning this game, but what they are afraid of is that because of this, Zuo Li will not be able to break a higher record. Currently, he is on the playoff scoring list.

, only Jordan's 63 points and Elgin Baylor's 61 points have exceeded 60 points in a single game. According to Zuoli's state in the first half, there is a great chance to touch this record, so I am a little worried about the Celtics.

Suddenly broken.

But obviously, those who are worried about this problem are fans who don’t know much about the Celtics. Even if they are 20 points behind, they will not fail!
