Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

For a rookie to be able to hear the shouts of MVP in Madison Garden, the Mecca of the basketball world, that is really the pinnacle moment of his basketball career.

This scene also made commentators around the world sigh with emotion.

Barkley: "He is currently performing the best in the playoffs and is the most favorable contender for the Rookie of the Year. He is only one step away from making history. There is no doubt that after this playoff, Zuo Li has stepped into the ranks of superstars."

Smith: "Tonight should be exciting. What kind of data will Zuo Li produce?!"

Yu Jia: "This is the peak of a rookie, right?"

Yang Yi: "More than that, this is the peak of a player's career. Ewing was not treated like this back then. The audience here is notoriously harsh. It is common for them to boo their own players. But Zuo Li, one term

For a rookie to be able to achieve such a level is so awesome and amazing."

Director Zhang: "Haha~! This is so exciting for me. It must be 120 decibels at the scene. My headphones are full of noise. Zuo Li is so popular. I must interview him tonight."

Why is he not our player? What a pity!"

A girl from Japan's Fuji TV: "Zuo Jun is really the pride of the yellow race. It would be great if I could hold him~ (starry eyes)!"

Audience: "???" Please control your hormones.

Korean MBC anchor: "Smecta is so awesome. It is said that Zuo Li owns Korea... Smecta's Smecta~"

Well, Korea doesn't matter.

However, Zuo Li felt very happy standing on the court. Being able to conquer this place is every player's dream. If he could do it, Zuo Li would give himself an 82 point score, and the rest would be distributed in the form of 666.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to appreciate such worship.

This is the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The importance of the tiebreaker is self-evident. If you win and enter the Eastern Conference finals, the season will be considered a success. Zuo Li will have an almost impeccable rookie season. If you lose, then

I just went home to fish, and my efforts in the previous 6 games were in vain.

This is very cruel to every team and will test the psychological quality of the players. All teams are fighting against the odds and are facing the test of life and death in the series.

This was also Zuo Li's first tiebreaker in his life. Zuo Li's performance touched the hearts of fans from all sides.

As we all know, tiebreak performance is also an important indicator to measure a player's ability. No game is more tense and exciting than tiebreak. The pressure accumulated in 6 games will be completely released at this moment. Both sides silently use up their bullets and take out their bayonets.

Prepare for hand-to-hand combat, this is the battlefield for true superstars.

For example, Jordan has won two of the three tiebreakers in his career. His winning rate of 2 wins and 1 loss is very impressive, and his statistics are also very explosive. He averages 3777 overall statistics per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 50%. This is basketball.

God's true strength.

Of course, many people in later generations feel that Jordan's game in the seventh game was too few and there is no comparison with James' 6 wins and 2 losses.

???

Isn't it true that Jordan's career was so strong that very few teams could reach tiebreakers with him? When does it become an advantage to have more tiebreakers than to sweep them all, right...

Zhan Mi sat down. The tiebreaker was still very important. At least if you reach the tiebreaker, you have to win. On this point, Zuo Li still recognized it.

Zuo Li didn't want his first tiebreak to end in failure, so he prepared to attack with all his strength from the beginning.

Before the game, in an interview, Pierce said that they were used to tiebreakers: "We have no pressure, this is an opportunity, and this is an opportunity that we can all be excited about. Although it is an away game, we have already played in tiebreakers before.

We've been through this once and we're going to go out there and perform and we'll be ready. We have the whole of Boston behind us, so let's win!"

But having said that, the pressure on them is obviously greater, because they are the defending champions, and the left-leading Knicks were second to last last season. It is enough to push the defending champions to this level.

So Zuo Li told everyone before the game to relax and play with ease. They are the ones who are more afraid of losing.

So this mentality became the most realistic portrayal of the first half of the game.

Starting lineups for both sides:

Celtics: Perkins, Davis, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Knicks: Zuo Li, David Lee, Chandler, Larry Hughes, Duhon.

You can see that the Knicks have replaced two starting players. Anyone who knows this lineup will understand that the Knicks are finally trying to speed up!

Sure enough, Zuo Li successfully jumped the ball in the opening game. When David Lee got the ball, he didn't look for the defender immediately, but directly looked for Zuo Li who had just landed.

Zuo Li got the ball and made a crossover to shake Perkins away. This was near the three-point line, and there was a smooth road inside. Zuo Li went straight to the penalty area, jumped high, and dunked with two hands full of dominance.

Bang!

The rim in Madison Square Garden is shaking!

This offense was completed in only 5 seconds. This was also the main theme of the Knicks in the first half, which was to use the speed of the left wing to force the Celtics to speed up. The pace of Pierce and other veterans was obviously slower than in the previous games.

It's the Knicks' opportunity.

Soon, relying on Zuo Li's performance, the Knicks established a 7-point advantage in the first quarter. At halftime, Zuo Li efficiently scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. David Lee also scored 8 points. The Knicks

An 11-point advantage at halftime.

None of the fans at the scene could sit still. For the first time, they felt that they were so close to the Eastern Conference finals and that in only 24 minutes, they could complete the impossible task.

But the Celtics' ability to adjust is strong enough. They took the initiative to change their formation in the third quarter and replaced Tony Allen as a new force. Eddie House replaced Ray Allen. Their purpose was to suppress the Knicks' second and third positions.

, preventing Knicks from increasing his speed, and at the same time interfering with Zuo Li, leaving him isolated and helpless.

On the offensive end, the Celtics just didn't speed up, they just played positions and controlled the rhythm. You hit yours and I hit mine. The veteran Pierce stood up in the second half and used his ridiculously accurate mid-range. Pierce scored in a single quarter.

8 points helped the Celtics recover from a 6-point deficit in a single quarter.

At this time, the Knicks had to let Randolph come on the court to start a hand-to-hand battle with the Celtics again. In the last quarter, both sides defended desperately, and each team only scored 4 points in the first 6 minutes of this quarter.

Every goal scored came at a huge price. Zuo Li's arm was already covered with bloodstains. He continued to play until the last minute. The Knicks were 79-77, leading the Celtics by 2 points!

But the Celtics seized the opportunity. Ray Allen came out from the wing, caught the ball and shot, and hit the equalizing two-pointer!

79 square meters!

There are only the last 34 seconds left.

"Both sides played well for half the game, and finally it was a draw!"

"Now, all eyes are on Zuo Li. Will he create a miracle?!"
