Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Throughout the fourth quarter, Ray Aaron King and Pierce scored a total of 5 three-pointers in one quarter. They allowed Zuo Li to stand on the free throw line several times, and the lack of physical fitness amplified Zuo Li's free throw problem, making Zuo Li's free throws hit one after another.

, 3 minutes, only 2 of 6 free throws were made, but it was enough for Zuo Li to rank third in the playoff single-game scoring list with 58 points.

But even so, the Knicks have maintained their lead, relying on the team's desperate defense and united efforts to drag the lead until the last moment.

In the last minute, Zuo Li, who was soaked in sweat, lost his balance under the pull of Perkins, but he still threw the ball into the basket. This was his first sports goal in 5 minutes, and his shooting percentage was also poor.

Another 80% is such an exaggeration.

but!

60 points!

Zuo Li became the third player in NBA history to score 60 points in a single playoff game!

On the big screen, under the heartbroken gazes of the die-hard Celtics fans, the number 60 points appeared on the right side of Zuo Li's avatar. For a moment, the Celtics fans felt their bodies being hollowed out.

Rivers stopped talking, anything said seemed pale at this time, and there was nothing more they could do.

In the stands, a young fan cried and fell into his mother's arms. He knew that tonight's Celtics would once again become the backdrop for stars to become gods after more than 20 years.

But regret is inevitable.

The Celtics did not boo and waited quietly for Zuo Li to get to the free throw line. Unfortunately, Zuo Li failed to make a free throw and lost the chance to tie Baylor's 61-point record.

"He is too tired. He played 45 minutes tonight. If the game ends, it will be 46 minutes. He has given it all." Barkley said with a sigh. It felt really strange to watch the record slip away in front of his eyes.

It's so uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, there are still dozens of seconds, maybe Zuo Li will throw a three-pointer?" Smith said jokingly, the truth is this, but obviously he also knew that the chance was slim, because Zuo Li was obviously tired and his hands

The time I spent holding my knees was significantly longer, and my breathing was obviously heavier, which was rarely seen in previous games.

Sure enough, after that, the Celtics never gave Zuo Li another chance to take a shot. Perkins even pushed Zuo Li to a distance of one meter outside the three-point line... Fans joked: This is to prevent Zuo Li from scoring.

, I don’t even want a home anymore.

Although victory was far away from them... they finally retained the last trace of their dignity.

109-103, a 6-point difference, the Knicks maintained their victory and defeated the Celtics away from home!

The score was tied at 2-2, and then there were three decisive games.

Judging from the intensity of the first four games, this series will not end so easily, especially in Tianwang Mountain two days later, which is expected to be particularly intense.

But now, everyone obviously didn't have time to think that far. Everyone was surrounding Zuo Li, for fear that Zuo Li would run away.

But obviously, Zuo Li, who had played the entire game, had no strength left. This was the first time he felt exhausted after traveling through time. When the whistle blew, he felt relaxed all over, and then his legs became a little weak, so he took advantage of his teammates to go crazy.

During the celebration, David Lee and Ewing hugged each other, and the two of them also supported Zuo Li and slowly returned to the locker room.

This scene also moved the reporters who surrounded Zuo Li for interviews, and they all spontaneously applauded.

On both sides of the tunnel, there was a radical fan who was about to throw beer, but was slapped away by the uncle next to him.

"What are you doing!" The man became angry, but looking at the big and round man, he felt a little scared and could only stand there and yell.

"Don't do stupid things, man, do you want us to be famous? The Celtics can afford to lose, and that guy deserves victory and respect." The uncle pointed at Zuo Li and said.

Zuo Li didn't know what happened in the passage. He just wanted to find a place to rest for a while.

Tonight, Zuo Li took 38 crazy shots, hitting 24 goals, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 9 of 16 free throws, scoring 60 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 2 turnovers, 3 fouls, and 1 hit.

The rate is 63.1%!

This is the reason why Zuo Li loses his strength. Basically all of his scoring comes from the inside, which also determines that he needs to put in more physical effort in every attack. Under such a terrifying defensive intensity tonight, Zuo Li really tried his best.

With all my strength.

The last moment was not because he didn't want to break the record, but because he really didn't have the strength. This is also the biggest reason why the average score in the playoffs for giant insiders is not particularly high. Barkley's 56 points is already the ceiling.

Post superstars such as O'Neal, Duncan, and before that Robinson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, George Michael, etc. have never scored 60 points in the playoffs in their entire careers.

Because the defensive pressure encountered on the inside is really great.

The most typical one is James. As a physical monster, he can get 50 or even 60 in the regular season, but it won't work any higher, especially in the playoffs. This is a physical issue. Physical strength is always on the court.

is the most critical factor, and his style of play is obviously more physically demanding than that of Kobe and Jordan.

The same goes for Adu. He will be known as the most unsolvable scorer in history in the future, but his highest score is only 56 points. His physical fitness at the last moment will always be the biggest factor restricting his full firepower.

Of course, Jordan's 63 points in that game almost came from two zones, but Jordan's style of play is the magic weapon that allows him to maintain his peak for a long time, let alone fadeaway jumpers.

However, there were two overtimes in that game, so Zuo Li was already the second player in history in a single regular round, second only to Baylor who scored 61 points in the Finals.

This relies on Zuo Li's wild physical strength and the first or even unique physical fitness in history, but if he wants to go further, Zuo Li must develop a more efficient scoring method.

However, this is not important. What is important is that Zuo Li finally did it.

Defeat North Shore Gardens!

After the game, Zuo Li became a hero in New York and became a god in the entire basketball field!

Americans love individual heroism, and Zuo Li's performance is undoubtedly the ultimate in individual heroism on the court!

After the game, Zuo Li's interview became a hot topic among everyone.

"Most people said we had no chance against the Celtics, at their home court. They rarely lose, but now we've proven that we can stand up to them, that we have the ability to beat them, and I just keep working hard.

Work harder and push yourself. In this game, I care more about victory than my personal data. I said in the locker room before the game that I will never give up and will do my best. I did it and I am very happy.

I got this victory."

"2-2, I think we proved ourselves that the Knicks are not a weak team and we will not lose easily."

Miss Han Xue, who was in charge of the interview for CCTV, was so excited that her eyes were red: "Then what do you want to say about the Battle of Tianwang Mountain two days later?"

"Burn everything! We will protect our home court!" Zuo Li said without hesitation.
