Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In May, as cold as the night breeze in Orlando is, the hearts of Magic fans feel cold.

In G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, we were full of ambition and confidence. After halftime, we were faced with a huge score difference of 60-40, a full 20 points. A disastrous defeat seemed to be right in front of us, and a tragic 1-3 deficit seemed not far away.

"What can I do to save you, my magic?" Yang Yi sighed. He also felt that there was nothing he could do, and the magic might be out of control.

As a qualified professional commentator who has more than ten years of commentary career and thinks he has seen all kinds of bullfighting scenes, big and small, under normal circumstances, Yang Yi will not draw conclusions easily because he knows that basketball is round.

, the truth that anything can happen until the last moment.

But in this game, the Magic's performance really prevented him from finding a point where he could make a comeback.

Throughout the first half, the Magic gave him the feeling that he was competing with his opponents, his teammates, and the basket.

The direct consequences were too much defensive action, too many fouls, constant shooting, and a shooting percentage of only 30% in the first half. The shots were either too powerful or too weak. In short, they just couldn't go in.

Under such circumstances, their team actually made as many as 10 turnovers, passed the ball carelessly, made all kinds of lateral passes that made the Qimen coach angry, passed the ball in front of others, passed the ball without considering the defense, and

Passes that were taken for granted in the past are also endless.

Oh, looking at it this way, losing only 20 points is really not that much.

I can't even watch the broadcast on my own TV station, saying, 'What the hell is this!', not to mention the fans. Half of the people are gone now, and the remaining half are except for the Knicks who came from afar.

Fans are just for watching, there are not many real Magic fans left.

Under such a situation, no matter how good-minded people are, they feel that there will be no turning point in this game, unless the Magic suddenly explodes in the second half, and the Knicks suddenly lose their team.

But in this game, the Knicks maintained the style of the previous game, with all players on the line. In the first half, they scored 60 points with a 50.5% shooting rate. Zuo Li and Randolph also scored in double figures early.

Dov even had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 1 steal and 1 assist at halftime. He was in great condition, while Zuo Li's 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks was already a regular routine.

Not to mention Chandler, who scored 6 points on 2-of-2 three-pointers, Dragic, who scored 8 points and 4 assists on 3-of-6 shooting, and Ke Liu, who came off the bench and scored 5 points in 10 minutes.

With stability and more blossoming, the Knicks seem to be very close to defeating Orlando in two consecutive games.

ESPN's commentators were already singing praises to the Knicks, and Barkley was shaking his head and shouting: "its go home! its go home! its go home!"

This is not even more disappointing for the Magic. What makes them even more desperate is that the Knicks did not relax just because they were ahead by 20 points!

In the locker room, D'Antoni shouted to everyone: "We haven't won yet, we haven't won yet, there's still half a game left, let's beat those damn Orlando people, fuck Orlando! Let them not have air conditioning in the locker room! Fuck!

"

"Tsk, the honest man is angry, so why don't the Magic install air conditioning?" Zuo Li thought to himself, but his expression was equally serious, because he also understood that now is not the time to get excited, although he felt empty after winning the last game.

, he also thought it was fantasy to defeat the Magic in halftime.

But! None of this matters.

The important thing is that they have to win, and they also want to win. If they can defeat them again, they will have an extremely good prospect of advancing to the home court with 3-1, and they are only one step away from the finals.

At this time, the more he could not waste his time, Zuo Li kept recalling the classic comeback games in his mind.

"In Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Kobe passed Pippen, passed to O'Neal, and completed an alley-oop dunk. The Lakers overturned."

"Reggie Miller's 8.9 seconds and 8 points and Tracy McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points."

"In 2015, although it hasn't come yet, the Rockets made Ha Jishi sit on the bench in the last quarter, and then the Clippers were beaten stupidly. I can make a comeback with this!"

"Anyway!" Zuo Li stood up: "We still need to play steadily and don't give them any chance to make a comeback!"

"Ho~!"

…

"It's getting cold."

If the Knicks locker room is full of momentum, the atmosphere in the Magic's luxurious locker room is very solemn.

After losing the last game, they stood on the edge of the cliff again this time.

And if we lose again, it won't be a matter of cliff or cliff. If we lose like this at our home court, there probably won't be many people left in this room.

Van Gundy walked around anxiously and kept talking about tactics, but unfortunately, there were not many people who were really paying attention. They were all in an anxious state, which is most common before losing.

state.

In this state, they can easily lose control of their emotions and, concomitantly, their movements. This is undoubtedly very dangerous for magic.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Zuo Li encountered a vicious attack. Howard turned around with the ball and hit Zuo Li's nose with his arm. Zuo Li was bleeding profusely and Howard was whistled for a flagrant foul.

"Damn, I remember." Zuo Li was very angry. This was the first time he saw blood from his nose on the court.

"Be careful, those guys are desperate, be careful of their dirty tricks." Zuo Li said.

Zuo Li, who had to get off the court to fix his nose, entrusted David Lee to help him complete the free throws. David Lee, who made two free throws, then caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot, which was regarded as revenge for Zuo Li.

After this whistle, the Magic restrained somewhat, but in the fourth quarter, as time became less and less, the point difference was still 14 points. Their impatience became more and more obvious, their movements became larger and larger, and the two sides became physically entangled.

There are more, especially inside. Howard and Zuo Li are now fighting each other hard because of their previous elbow.

However, just when people focused their attention on Dori and Howard, an accident suddenly happened!

Randolph was holding the ball very low, and Lewis was squatting very low and deep. This was obviously to prevent Randolph from attacking with the ball. At this moment, Randolph suddenly chose to pull up and shoot.

But Lewis obviously didn't expect that, and he hurriedly bumped into Randolph!

Randolph immediately lost his balance, the two fell directly to the ground, and Lewis's body directly pressed on Randolph's ankle!

Randolph only heard a heartbreaking cry, and then he cried bitterly and hugged his ankle.

"Get off!" Zuo Li went up and pushed Lewis away. When Howard saw it, he hurriedly went up and pushed Zuo Li. Zuo Li stood up and confronted Howard without hesitation. The two faced each other, and they clashed directly.

Get up

The referee's whistle was blown wildly, but the players from the two teams who were ignited obviously didn't want to give up, and the court instantly became chaotic!
