Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Li's guess was correct.

After losing to the Knicks in Game 2, the Lakers showed strong ability to adjust. Phil Jackson, the Zen master, is very good at psychological construction. Kobe Bryant, the core of the team, and Fisher, the leader of the locker room, have never seen any big storms along the way.

The three consecutive championships are not for nothing.

On the contrary, they were grateful for this defeat.

The Lakers finally understood one thing, that is, although the west is strong and the east is weak, and the competition in the west is unprecedentedly fierce, it is still different from the east in the 2000s. In that era, whoever broke through from the west would win the championship. But now

, the Knicks are not as weak as they thought.

Even though their roster doesn't really look good, they have an incredible guy on the roster.

Kobe was asked in an interview after the game what he thought of Zuo Li when Staples got 50 and won. He said calmly: "Zuo Li is very good. I knew that guy was incredible in the regular season. I am very happy."

I like him, he is very competitive, like me, eager to win and refuse to admit defeat, he did a great job in the last game."

This style of painting is wrong...

The reporters who interviewed Kobe were dumbfounded. Kobe has never been an easy person to deal with. He was a ruthless person who didn’t speak much. He was very arrogant. When he entered the league, he dared to face Jordan directly and let Malone go when he was trying to pick-and-roll him.

By the way, last year’s Finals saw a lot of verbal sparring with Pierce of the Celtics. How come he’s so easy to talk to a junior now?

In fact, it's normal. It's not as complicated as people think. If you face an unknown person getting high scores on your head, you will definitely be angry, but if you face a strong person getting high scores on you, you will only feel...

Very normal.

In a word, Kobe was already prepared for Zuo Li's level. After all, he had the foreshadowing of two games in the regular season, and Zuo Li's previous performance of 60 points in a single game against Green Kai. It was not like scoring 50 points in front of him.

It's hard to accept, after all, this is indeed a strong player, and Kobe recognizes it.

At the same time, Kobe also admired Zuo Li very much, otherwise he would not have been able to give Zuo Li Kareem's address and would contact him by phone from time to time.

Of course, recognition is recognition, preparation is preparation, but what needs to be done is still done, and the situation that needs to be recovered must also be recovered.

Kobe is obviously full of fighting spirit. He originally thought it would be a boring round of the finals, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Now it has directly inspired Kobe's desire to fight. Needless to say, Kobe will definitely play more seriously in the third game.

Be more proactive.

But this time, the Lakers learned the lesson wisely and kept a low profile. They came to New York as a group on the morning of G2 to start preparations for the game, and the Zen Master also used the poisonous milk method to milk the Knicks as soon as the plane landed.

"They are very strong. The Lakers are facing an extremely dangerous moment. We lost a crucial game and will face three consecutive away games. I want to tell all the Lakers right now that if we don't handle it well, we will

There is a possibility that you will not be able to escape from the Knicks, so be prepared."

These words were so sincere that Zuo Li almost believed them.

The implication of these words is that the Knicks are taking the absolute initiative, and they are also secretly elevating the Knicks to a high position. By the way, they are telling the Lakers generals that if you don't win the championship, you will stay in New York.

One sentence, three meanings, worthy of a Zen master, few in the league can match this kind of speaking skills.

However, what Zen Master said sounded reasonable. After all, the Knicks did have three consecutive home games and seemed to be taking the absolute initiative.

So within a few hours, the whole of New York was shouting slogans to defeat the Lakers and win the championship. There was no way, in terms of the degree of media poisonousness, New York and Los Angeles could be called a coward, even though the New York media has learned a lot this season.

, it is really unbearable in this situation.

Zuo Li didn't have any good solution for this. This was one of the pressures that professional sports had to bear. He could only tell his teammates not to be careless and play this crucial G3 well.

In fact, Zuo Li has long been used to it. As social networks become more and more developed, the situation in the future will only be more terrifying than now.

Be yourself, this is the only answer.

The Knicks players have also experienced strong winds and waves, and this time they won without any trouble. Even Larry Hughes, a nightclub lover, just stayed at home and rested after training.

Of course, this may have something to do with keeping an eye on Kobe. At his age, if he continues to mess around, he might really get sent to the hospital by Kobe. For the sake of his own life, it’s better not to waste his time.

…

On June 9th, after several days of preparation, the finals g3 will finally start in Madison Square.

This is the first time that New York City has welcomed the NBA Finals in ten years, so almost everyone in the city has heard about it. Even the door of the dilapidated subway station has been replaced with a poster of the Lakers and Knicks confrontation.

Rich fans of the Knicks even bought advertisements on the big screen in Times Square in the center of New York City, which will be played 24 hours a day on this day. It is really full of cards.

More fans gathered around Madison early. Those who had tickets waited happily at the door, while those who didn't buy tickets sat down in the pubs and cafes around Madison. Of course, those who like the atmosphere can rely on their enthusiasm.

Blocked around the big screen outside the door.

The Knicks officials did not treat those who could not get in. Starting from 10 a.m., free performances began on the stage set up near the big screen at the entrance. This is also a way for the Knicks to give back to the fans.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, before the warm-up, a group of fans were allowed into the arena. Each fan who entered could receive a Knicks support T-shirt and scarf.

In the past, many people obviously chose not to wear them, but when widows all appeared wearing Knicks No. 0, the supply of these T-shirts exceeded the demand.

Under such circumstances, Zuo Li's sense of experience was simply overwhelming. From the moment he drove to Madison, he felt like a superstar.

When Zuo Li drove into the underground garage, he was greeted by security guards who saluted him. There was also valet parking service when he drove in. When he walked into the player tunnel, reporters swarmed around him and cheered. His outfit was also transmitted to the outside world in real time, even thousands of miles away.

In addition, there is also real-time live broadcast on Sogou.com in China.

Entering the warm-up venue, as soon as Zuo Li picked up the ball, the fans at the scene would cheer for him. During shooting training, more than 80 media stood beside Zuo Li, behind him and in front of him, constantly cheering him.

Zuo Li took a photo.

The opening ceremony at 6:30 was even more impressive. When Zuo Li came on stage from the tunnel, the entire Madison darkened. The lights only illuminated Zuo Li and followed his footsteps, while the flames on both sides of the tunnel,

Combined with the DJ's explosive introduction and Zuo Li's crazy collection on the big screen, the venue roared with more than 140 decibels.

"It's too exaggerated, Charles, I can't even hear it." Kenny Smith took the headset away from his ears. At that moment, he thought he was going deaf.

"Damn, this is even more exaggerated than Sir Charles did. I have only seen Michael Jordan treated like this here." Barkley was sore.
