Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

After the initial collision of stars, the game fell silent. The two teams once again launched a team basketball confrontation. To be precise, it should be the collision between Big Apple City Zuoli and Los Angeles Sanying. Laker Gasol and substitute sixth man Odo.

Tom, Kobe and Zuo Li’s motivational battle.

What a great show where three heroes fight against Lu Bu.

(Bynum: mmp, I’m not a superstar because I’m the co-author.)

Although this is what it should be, and although the story of the lone hero Iverson is touching, victory is the most important thing. Even if Kobe is in good condition, the Zen Master will not let Kobe fight alone.

What, you mean Zuo Li?

Isn't there nothing we can do?

This was the finals after all, and David Lee and others were still punished a bit harshly. Only Zuo Li could rely on his rich and diverse offensive methods and his strong body to cope with the steel defense built by the Lakers.

Of course, this is actually the trap of Lakers head coach Phil Jackson. Before the series started, Jackson conducted a detailed and comprehensive analysis of Zuo Li based on his own experience of coaching and letting go of the Sharks, and finally came to the conclusion:

'Although Zuo Li seems to be less dominant than O'Neal back then, this is just an illusion. Zuo Li's inside play is changeable, and he has many inside skill packages such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 'Sky Hook' and Ewing's 'Rabbit Bounce'.

Although not as flexible as Olajuwon, he is very simple and practical. His long wingspan gives him a high advantage in one-on-one situations. Even if he is helping to defend, she can use her good vision to distribute the ball. If the double team is not able to

Thoroughly, Zuo Li doesn't mind using his strong body to tell others what it means to be strong. Moreover, Zuo Li can also play as a defender and has passing, long-range shooting, and three-point skill packages. Although he looks average, even if he has 30% of the skills of a center

His long-range shooting percentage is terrifying enough, and Zuo Li's breakthrough is top-notch in the league, not inferior to any defenders or forwards, with fast speed and sufficient skills.'

In a word, Zuo Li is a player who will be defeated in one-on-one defense and may not be able to defend even if double-teamed.

So Zen Master simply chose to sacrifice Bynum and let him directly become a blue-collar human shield, going to the left wing to absorb damage. Anyway, he only averaged 8 points per game, which can be easily made up. The others can focus on defending others.

Just let Zuo Li open it alone, resolutely not attack from a flank, and implement the improved version of 'Jordan's Rule'.

So there was a scene where Zuo Li seemed to be scoring easily. If the Lakers were cruel enough to restrict Zuo Li, with the three high points inside and the abilities of the three outside defenders of Kobe, Ariza and Fisher, Zuo Li would not be able to play like this.

good.

But the rest of the Knicks can't be this bad either.

This is a series, and tactical choices are very critical to player performance.

But this also laid the groundwork. If Zuo Li goes completely crazy, a situation like the second game will occur. He will be completely unstoppable and the Lakers will lose.

But Zen Master was betting that Zuo Li couldn't play like this in every game. Moreover, even if Zuo Li got 40 in every game, the Lakers were sure to win. After all, it's hard to beat four hands with two fists.

Just like in the first half of this game, Zuo Li scored the highest score in the game with 20, but the Lakers were still in the lead!

But in the second half, no one expected this. The situation suddenly changed, and the basket suddenly covered the Lakers players. For a while, only Kobe could score steadily, and everyone else was sleepwalking, taking either big or small shots. In short,

Very tasty.

The score difference also changed directly from 15 points to 6 points, and the situation suddenly became confusing.

The Lakers fans looked at each other, with a bad premonition in their hearts. This scene was so similar to the last few games against the Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals. The Lakers guys are getting sick again!

have no idea.

Don't want to know either.

Zuo Li only knew that the opportunity had come!

Zuo Li: "Brothers, stabilize the situation and be decisive. If it doesn't work, give it to me. They are dying. This is our opportunity. Today is the day to make a difference!"

Teammates: "Hoo~!!!"

After a heated speech, Zuo Lishen took the lead and played more proactively. With a 6-point difference right in front of him, he couldn't resist the temptation. Originally, he thought he was going to be cold tonight, but he didn't expect it.

Have the opportunity!

So Zuo Li carried Bynum on his back and scored a goal. He even made Bynum's legs lift off the ground and he was completely carried up!

This scene made the commentator unable to close his mouth and exclaimed: "Incredible!"

And this goal also allowed the Knicks to chase the point difference to only 4 points!

Zuo Li's output continued. On the defensive end, Zuo Li assisted Bynum, who finally got the ball, and almost got blocked. But even if he wasn't blocked, he wasn't much better. He made a mistake and slowly fell to the ground.

.

The referee looked at it twice and finally said nothing, so Zuo Li held the ball on a fast break, tested the rhythm of his steps and shook Gasol away, and then made a layup and scored the ball!

There is only a 2 point difference!

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

"mvp!"

The fans at the scene cheered wave after wave, and this wave of climax gave Knicks fans the hope of a comeback.

But at this time, Kobe stood up!

At this time, there is no need to talk about cooperation. Even if the Zen Master didn't say it, Kobe couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it, so he directly made a trademark fade away to bring the point difference back to 4 points, and then made an earth-shattering block.

Dragic looked at Kobe suspiciously, as if he wanted to see how he blocked him, but at this time Kobe was already on his way, and under the threat of Zuo Li's block, he scored a layup.

6 points!

After landing, Kobe called his teammates to quickly return to defense. His eyes were sharp and cold, just like the coldest venomous snake in Africa - the Black Mamba!

"I have to say, this is the ball!" Kenny Smith felt like something was choking on his throat, but then he thought about it, this was Kobe, so it all became very reasonable.

So the two teams jumped repeatedly in the 2-6 point range, Kobe and Zuo Li once again became the protagonists, both of them were crazy!

From the second half of the third quarter to the first half of the fourth quarter, Zuo Li scored 14 points to help the Knicks pursue, but they were never able to close the gap. 2 points seemed like a chasm. That was precisely because Kobe also scored at the same time.

At 14 minutes, Biao Zuoli was not behind at all.

So in the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were still 2 points behind 97-99.

What followed was one minute of iron time, and when the time officially entered the last two minutes, the score difference was still being smoothed out, and the fans at the scene began to become unable to sit still.

The ball won't be lost just like that, right?

At this time, Zuo Li, who had already scored 40 points, stood up again!

One step away from the free throw line, Bynum took a stance and waited for Zuo Li to come over. Who knew that Zuo Li didn't break through when he got the ball, but took two steps and shot directly!

The entire Madison Square Garden was suffocated.

No, it's a two-point throw!

When this shot was flying in the air, the Lakers players were all in position to grab the rebound, but the ball went directly into the basket!

Score in!

equalize!

Nearly 20,000 Knicks fans chanted Zuo Li's name in unison, and the entire Madison Square Garden shook instantly.

At the last moment, Zuo Li finally evened the score difference!
