Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In the first 2 and a half minutes, the score was 6-7.

The scores are normal, but the distribution is unusual, because the scores of both teams are all wrapped up by their respective cores!

Zuo Li scored 6 points and Kobe Bryant scored 7 points. It was basically a 50-50 situation.

"Zuo Li and Kobe both have a strong desire to score at the beginning. They just do it when they get the ball!" Director Zhang said enthusiastically.

The ones who are more excited than him are the neutral fans. If the fans of the two teams care more about the outcome, the neutral fans care most about the excitement of the game.

For a large number of fans, tactics and everything else are secondary. Whether it is exciting or not mainly depends on the performance of the stars of the two teams!

Stars compete!

I believe no fan can resist such temptation.

For today's young fans, I don't know how many of them watched the famous NBA matchup between Iverson and Vince Carter in the 2001 Eastern Conference semifinals. It was also a famous star matchup in the history of the NBA playoffs.

Biao.

In that seven-game battle, the two stars gave their all, leaving Iverson averaging 33.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 3.1 steals per game and Carter averaging 30.4 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game.

, 1.9 steals, 2 blocks and ended with Iverson winning 4-3.

That series was a rare showdown between two outstanding shooting guards in the early 21st century. Both sides played at a very high level. Carter proved that he was not only a dunker, but Iverson proved that he also had excellent organizational skills.

.

The closest thing to today is the 2006 Western Conference semifinals, the classic battle between the Spurs and the Mavericks. That year, two of the best power forwards of this century, Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, were left with the most intense battle in their careers.

It was also the most exciting showdown.

In those 7 games, Duncan averaged 32.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game. Nowitzki averaged 27.1 points and 13.3 rebounds per game. In the most critical tiebreaker, Duncan scored 41 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 assists.

Blocking shots, Nowitzki scored 37 points, 15 rebounds, and made 15 of 16 free throws, including the key free throw that sent overtime.

This is also the most exciting series between big men in NBA history.

Star rivalries like this are common in the history of NBA playoffs. After all, the defensive intensity and tactical level of the playoffs have gone up a notch, and the performance of stars determines the upper limit of a team.

This is why it is said that the playoffs are the place to test a star's quality. If he has not experienced the baptism of the playoffs, then the so-called star will not be so convincing.

So before this series, countless fans had already fantasized about the confrontation between Kobe and Zuo Li.

Although the two men have different positions and have inconsistent roles in the team, one has been a scoring machine in the Zongheng League for more than ten years, and the other is the creator and record crusher of the new generation's scoring records. Both of them also have super high goals.

Popularity is also the key to each team's ability to reach the finals.

How could the conversation between these two not be anticipated?

It's just a pity that the first two games were dominated by Kobe. Zuo Li tried his best but was still suppressed miserably. But in the second game it was the other way around. Zuo Li went crazy and Kobe tried his best.

In short, it is not exciting enough, not intense enough, not exciting enough.

So people are placing their hopes on this crucial third game.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking of the fans. After all, this is the finals. Compared with whether the stars are playing well or not, the team naturally only cares about victory or defeat.

However, the beginning immediately gave fans unlimited reverie!

"Is the scene where these two people directly confront Biao really coming?!" Yu Jia also said to himself that he was excited.

However, Yang Yi was still very calm: "Look again, look again, don't get too excited first. After all, this has just begun. After all, the two of them are the stars. It is normal for them to stand up and open up the situation for the team."

Yang Yi still has something to say, for fear of affecting the fans' emotions, that is, forget about the Knicks, Zuo Li has always been the most stable scoring point, Randolph has returned to average scoring form after recovering from injury, and the others have nothing.

They must be able to achieve stable output in a game of this level, but the Lakers are different. Although Kobe is great, the Lakers' greatest strength is their lineup advantage. It is a real waste of resources for them to let Kobe play alone.

So he felt it was very difficult in his heart, and it was more likely to be like the situation in the first and second games.

"Unless a Lakers player suddenly pulls his hips." Yang Yi added silently, but then forgot about it.

Even if one person can stretch his hips, how can the Lakers' bench be so deep that everyone can stretch their hips?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Sure enough, after Zuo Li and Kobe once again scored 2 points for their respective teams, the rest of the two teams finally participated in the offense. Gasol, Bynum and Fisher successively made contributions to the Lakers, especially

Lao Yu, a simple hollow three-pointer after receiving a pass from Kobe, gave the Lakers a 5-point lead.

The Knicks are just as Yang Yi guessed. Although Dragic and Randolph scored successively, they were still suppressed in general. Only Zuo Li was able to stabilize against Bynum's defense.

output.

It is worth mentioning that Zen Master has been using Bynum to defend Zuo Li alone, with almost no flanking attack. This is one of the most important reasons for Zuo Li's stable output.

The star-studded Lakers naturally scored more points than the lone crarry's left winger. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points, and at halftime, the score was expanded to 12 points.

The Knicks, playing at home, were suppressed.

There was a bit of silence at the scene, but there was nothing that could be done about it. If they were to fight apart, this would indeed be the real strength gap between the two teams.

It’s not that the Knicks didn’t work hard, it’s that the Lakers were too strong. These 12 points were achieved when the left winger contributed 21 points in the half. Otherwise, the loss would have been even worse.

"The Knicks are still a little overwhelmed." Yu Jia sighed. It was difficult to play the second half like this.

But in the third quarter, the situation suddenly changed!

For some reason, the Lakers started to feel cold in the second half. First, Gasol missed a layup, and then Ariza made a missed shot. The substitute Knicks seized the opportunity and narrowed the point difference to 8 points 4-0, forcing the Lakers to advance.

Get Kobe back.

Then Kobe's pass to Bynum for a sure goal was missed by Bynum's buttery hand!

So Madison fans were lucky enough to witness Kobe's death glare.

Naturally, Zuo Li would not waste this opportunity. He hooked under the basket and further narrowed the point difference to only 6 points!

The situation is back like this!

Everyone in Yang Yi was dumbfounded. Is this okay? All the Lakers generals ate junk food for half the game. Why are they playing more and more junk?!

It's really not certain, after all, there are people eating popcorn at half time, so a hamburger is not too much.

After the timeout, the situation still did not improve. In desperation, Jackson gave a singles gesture, and Kobe took over the game again.

A three-pointer from the top of the arc!

Kobe scored his 17th point tonight.

The Zen master glanced at D'Antoni and said, OK, in that case, let's fight the king against the king, and against the general!

This game will be decided by the performance of the stars!
