Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 457 The distance from heaven to hell

Director Zhang’s words were recognized by the majority of fans.

No matter from any angle, this was a victory that exceeded everyone's expectations. When the Lakers led by 15 points at halftime, no one expected that the Knicks would win.

In terms of performance and statistics, the Lakers had a slight advantage. Five players on the team scored in double figures, shot 40% from the field, had exactly one more rebound, three more assists, and two more blocks.

But even under such circumstances, it was still the Knicks who won, so everyone naturally awarded the MVP of this game to Zuo Li, who had no solution and hit the buzzer beater.

Smith: "The Knicks couldn't win if it wasn't for Lefty."

Barkley: "This buzzer-beater is a miracle, an unparalleled night. God is wearing Zuoli's jersey tonight."

Magic Johnson: "I think the Lakers should review how they defend on the left side and rely on Bynum? Stop making trouble, that kid is still far behind."

Stockton: "If we continue to play like this, the Lakers will lose."

Director Zhang: "Hey, the Lakers still underestimated Zuo Li in the finals. Zuo Li is worth double-teaming."

Yang Yi: "What a young man who refuses to admit defeat. His performance at the last moment was really great. He is really that kind of player that is hard to describe. He is at his peak when he debuts. Not only that, his peak is better than others."

Gao, just judging from the first three games, he played the best, no doubt."

After the game, the commentators and the words of the famous players made Zuo Li's image infinitely higher. Even the Zen Master was full of praise for Zuo Li after the game:

"What else can I say? He ended the suspense and ended us. We originally had the advantage, but Zuo Li stood up. I don't want to answer the final penalty, but Zuo Li deserves to win."

Of course, only the Zen master himself knows how much sincerity there is and how much is pure poisonous milk.

Han Xue, who was in the press area, sighed: "I can't imagine it. The whole stadium is shouting the name of a yellow player."

However, Han Xue can also understand the inner feelings of Knicks fans to a certain extent. This is an incredible feeling to the extreme. New York fans never thought that they would reach the Finals at this time, let alone that they would.

After taking the lead in the Finals, even in previous seasons, some New York fans expressed pessimism that they might never have a chance to reach the Finals again.

But Zuo Li changed everything. He now belongs to the New York Knicks, so how can the fans not go crazy?

As a representative of the outstanding die-hard Knicks fans, Spike Lee also had something he wanted to say. After kneeling on the sidelines and raising his hands in the 'breast technique' gesture, Spike Lee returned home and posted on Instagram: "Although

It's a bit depressing to say this, but I have to say that I am so satisfied with this season. We reached the finals, we fought against Kobe's Lakers, and we fought until the last minute."

"I'm satisfied. In the next competition, I believe you will continue to fight hard and fight for the championship. But what I want to say is that it doesn't matter if you can't win the championship. Man, you are the best. I respect you."

At the end, I met Zuo Li and other Knicks players.

Spike Lee's thoughts also represent the thoughts of many Knicks fans. Until now, they really have no regrets.

Of course, there are still many fans who expect the Knicks to truly complete a dark horse counterattack and beat the Lakers to win the championship.

But the Lakers don't seem to want to give the Knicks any chance.

The Lakers, who lost g2 and g3, faced the situation of falling behind by a large margin for the first time in this year's playoffs. Even when facing the Rockets, they were not so embarrassed. Although they won 7 games, they were always in the lead.

But this time, it's their turn to be the chasers.

So you can imagine the atmosphere in the Lakers team at this time. It was really a storm, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

When being interviewed the next day, the Lakers unanimously stated that they would no longer retain G4 and would play it as the last game.

And they did it.

On June 12, the Finals G4 continued in Madison. In this game, Knicks fans still tried their best to cause trouble for the Lakers.

However, in this game, the Lakers, with almost everyone in disgrace, demonstrated the capabilities of the strongest team in this era.

From the beginning, the Lakers launched a crazy defense. From the moment Dragic dropped the ball under Fisher's pressure, the game was firmly controlled by the Lakers.

The Lakers' defense is so suffocating.

Starting 15-0 and 34-17 in the first quarter, the Knicks lost twice as many points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Lakers became more and more courageous. Kobe repeatedly made difficult goals and scored 14 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to a 59-34 halftime lead of 25 points.

The game also completely lost its suspense. In the end, the Lakers clocked out in the third quarter and beat the Knicks 120-89, tying the total score at 2-2. The two sides entered the crucial battle at Tianwang Mountain.

Kobe Bryant scored 33 points in three quarters, contributing 30 in three consecutive games. Gasol performed well with 22 points and 12 rebounds. Odom's 10 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists showed his power as a low-level magician.

Zuo Li contributed 28 points and 12 rebounds, becoming the Knicks' only card.

"We were beaten from beginning to end, but don't worry. It's at least a tie now. We'll see you in the next game." D'Antoni could still speak calmly after the game.

But in the Tianwang Mountain that followed, the Zen Master taught Knicks a solid lesson.

On June 14th, after a day off, the two sides once again stood on the court in Madison. The g5 Tianwangshan game started passionately in the presence of more than 60 million fans around the world.

Before this game started, the outside world believed that the Knicks still had a chance to compete. After all, they had the advantage of home court.

Who knew that it would be the Lakers who had the upper hand at the start.

Odom replaced Ariza in the first 2 minutes. This change of formation was beyond the Knicks' expectations. D'Antoni did not expect that in such an important game, the Lakers would use three highs to beat the Knicks at the beginning.

This change of formation worked wonders. Odom used his height and passing ability to contribute 6 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in 7 minutes. Chandler was so confused that he could only use fouls to stop Odom.

This miss caused problems for the inside line guarded by Zuo Li. Zuo Li had to continuously make up defenses. While consuming a lot of energy, he was also injured and fouled twice early.

The game lost suspense. The Knicks, who lost Zuo Li, were naturally unable to compete with the Lakers. Zuo Li, who had too many fouls, only scored 20 points and 20 points and 8 rebounds. This was also the first time that Zuo Li failed to reach double figures in a single game this season.

The number of consecutive double-doubles in the postseason stayed at 22 games.

In the end, the Lakers fought without a fight. Led by Kobe with 29 points, Gasol with 22 points, and Odom with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, they won Tianwangshan 117-101 with 16 points. The big score became 2-3, and the Lakers took the lead.

At the match point, we are only one step away from the championship!

The Knicks face the overall runner-up situation.

From heaven to hell, it only takes 6 days.
