Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Then an embarrassing scene occurred.

After Turkoglu picked and rolled, Turkoglu discovered that Zuo Li had not come out at all. He was still stepping on the free throw line with two huge arms spread out, waiting for someone to come to the goal. He looked like a big shot waiting for his prey to come to the goal.

net.

And Howard was standing on the three-point line, waiting stupidly. He couldn't pass the ball, nor could he pass it, so he had to give it to Howard who was in the open position.

"then!"

boom!

After getting the ball, Howard fell into a brief confusion. The road in front of him was smooth. Zuo Li had no intention of coming up. Chandler ignored him and followed Turkoglu directly, but...

He can't attack with the ball!

As for shooting…

His three-point shooting percentage this season is 0, and he has not made any shots. If he is allowed to get the ball from three points, it will be a transition at most.

Van Gundy's original intention was the same, but Howard didn't know if his head was twitching at this time. When he saw there was space in front of him, he just took a step and made a sudden move!

"Howard is holding the ball and bursting?!" With a horrifying tone, everyone in Barkley was dumbfounded. Could this be the Magic's trump card? It turns out that Howard is also a big man who can break through from the three-point line with the ball like Zuo Li!

No!

Not really!

Howard made an awkward move, and then encountered Zuo Li. Zuo Li stretched out his long arm. Oh no, strictly speaking, Zuo Li was just trying to steal. He was not fast and the angle was not tricky, but the ball was easily passed by Zuo Li.

Cut off means that you can easily control the ball after cutting off.

Zuo Li: "???"

Howard: "!!!"

Van Gundy: "..."

The Knicks took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, Zuo Li assisted Chandler, Chandler passed the ball back, Zuo Li passed it to the wing, Dragic followed up and completed a layup.

"Forehead…"

The brothers couldn't hold it any longer, and the commentator didn't know how to describe this embarrassing offense for a moment. If O'Neal was here, he would probably have five embarrassing materials.

Fortunately, in the next round, Howard realized his shame and acted bravely. He finally opened an attack in the paint, thus solving the Magic's scoring shortage inside and making himself no longer so embarrassed.

But this 2-point solution only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause, and Zuo Li continued his dominant performance.

Tonight, Zuo Li allowed the world to see how a full-blooded iron-blooded center plays, that is, he can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and he can also contribute steals and assists, which is not a traditional center.

"Zuo Li turned his back and hit the hook. Beautiful, still stable, all 5 shots were made!"

"Oh, Zuo Li finally missed his first basket, but! Make up the dunk! omg! With such explosive impact, Zuo Li almost made Lewis suffer crotch humiliation. There is absolutely no problem with this top five shot!"

"The defensive end protected the backcourt rebound and made a long throw! Beautiful, Dragic got his 4th point tonight!"

"Do you want Turkoglu to return the favor? Breakthrough! Zuo Li's block! Wonderful!"

…

Throughout the first quarter, Zuo Li contributed 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists. He was in great form. The Magic only scored 6 points in the first quarter, which was the lowest in a single quarter in 7 games. Howard also only scored 2 points and almost didn't score anything.

There were scoring chances and 2 turnovers.

The Knicks also always took the lead, leading 27-22 by 5 points in the first quarter.

However, the Magic's scoring almost came from outside shooting. Alston and Turkoglu jointly hit 4 three-pointers, while the Knicks only had 1. This is the biggest reason why the Knicks failed to widen the gap in a single quarter.

Neutral fans were excited.

One inside and one outside, this is the game they want to watch!

"The Knicks had an absolute advantage inside. This was the best first quarter in the seven fierce battles between him and Howard, while the Magic flourished on the outside and always maintained the momentum of pursuit. You can look forward to the game next.

It will end so easily." Buckley analyzed.

In the second quarter, it was proven from the beginning that Barkley's analysis was reasonable.

Naturally, the first one to take action was Magic, who was lagging behind.

Van Gundy replaced Pietrus and Redick on the court, Turkoglu remained unchanged, and Howard and Lewis still partnered inside.

This is a pure small lineup and a pure shooter lineup. Four of the five Magic players with the highest three-point shooting percentage this season are on the court, except for the injured Nelson.

Van Gundy is going to purely use the outside to drive the inside!

"Tekoglu, hold the ball! The first tactic is to start a high pick-and-roll with Howard, and use Howard's movement to create mismatch defense. If the opponent does not double-team Howard, then Howard will directly dunk or alley-oop. If the opponent

If you choose to double-team Howard, then Howard will throw the ball to the outside shooters and shoot three-pointers." Van Gundy's command is determined:

"If the opponent chooses to double-team you and cut off the passing line between you and Howard, then you pass the ball directly to the outside. You, receive the ball and take a decisive shot when you are open, or look for Howard!"

This is Van Gundy's trick. This tactic is very effective and has both a three-point threat and an inside threat.

As long as they can make a few three-pointers, the Knicks' defense will have to expand its range, and Howard on the inside won't have to tangle with Zuo Li anytime and anywhere.

I have to say that Van Gundy's tactics are very good. This seems to be a tactic prepared for the finals, but today, he must come up with something.

Sure enough, this tactic was successful from the beginning. Pietrus came up with a three-pointer. After Zuo Li responded with a dunk, Turkoglu and Howard also completed the connection. Howard finally dunked successfully, and the point difference was only 1 point.

.

However, Zuo Li's momentum in the paint was too strong, allowing the Magic to expose a flaw. The newly replaced Ke Liushou Qidaolu also made a 3-pointer.

However, throughout the second quarter, the rhythm was gradually taken away by the Magic. After the 5-point gap was smoothed out, the Magic used Turkoglu's shooting to score consecutive points. In the end, they led 56-52 by 4 points at halftime.

The sudden change made the Madison scene a little quiet, but it was not despair. After all, there were only 4 points and there was still a chance in the second half.

"The Magic have made a move, and now the Knicks need to change their formation. The Magic's one-star and four-small lineup can restrain the big lineup, and it will be difficult if they can't keep up. In addition, the Magic's touch is very good, and the Knicks

New tactics need to be found." Buckley continued to play the role of prophet.

In the second half, the Knicks' surprising move came as expected!

After 6 minutes of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was still 4 points. Zuo Li continued to dominate inside and had a double-double of 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks, while the Magic continued to fire from the outside, having made 9 shots so far.

Three points.

At this time, the Knicks' foul count was full, and the Knicks replaced Ewing.

Just when people thought the Knicks would let Zuo Li rest at this time, Ewing Jr. came up and pulled Howard directly to the free throw line!

Cut the shark!

Oh no, it’s Choi Huo!
