Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Yes, why is Zuo Li so accurate?

If you can ask this question, you can only say that James must not have carefully watched Zuo Li's games this season.

Yes, yes, I know Zuo Li is a center, but who said that centers can't shoot three-pointers? Moreover, who in this league doesn't know that shooting three-pointers has always been Zuo Li's personal hobby. Last season, Zuo Li was not allowed to shoot three-pointers.

Less explanation and ridicule.

For example, last season's three-point king Ray Allen joked when talking about this topic on a certain program: "Hahaha, speaking of Zuo Li, he is really a difficult guy, but this season, we also found a

The rule is that when he starts shooting three-pointers, it means the game is easy, he is happy and in a good mood, and you have to be careful at this time. And when he goes to the low post for every ball, or breaks through with the ball,

That means the situation on the court is not good, and yes, we all use this method to judge the situation."

"Hahaha, but I still have to give Zuo Li a suggestion, maybe you should go to the low post every ball, that's your territory!"

Yes, Zuoli's three-point shooting percentage last season was only 30% per game, and in some games it might be less than 30%. The more shots he takes, the worse this percentage becomes. Ray Allen's ridicule is no problem.

but!

So far this season, Zuo Li's three-point shooting percentage has remained above 40%, which is much better than last season. In some games, it has exceeded 70%. It has also broken the number of three-pointers made by individuals, teams, and single games.

Hit rate and many other records.

With this kind of three-point performance, I guess Ray Allen can no longer make fun of him, because people have found that Zuo Li, who has developed three-point skills, is more threatening, because you no longer dare to let him shoot, which also strengthens the side.

Zuo Li is a breakthrough threat because of his speed, skills and flexibility. If an ordinary big man faces Zuo Li, he will definitely be passed by in one step, but if he lets go, he will be beaten to a three-pointer...

This is the fundamental reason why Zuo Li has become more terrifying and scored more points this season.

20 points in a single quarter!

Zuo Li can even use three-pointers as his main weapon now!

Of course, Zuo Li also knows that his three-point shooting has not yet reached the top level. It is definitely bragging if he raises his hand. His shooting percentage will also drop when he is pressed closely, but Zuo Li can usually get it.

Space to take action calmly.

Because the three-pointer is just one item in Zuoli’s arsenal, the real Zuoli—can do both inside and outside!

Therefore, in the second quarter, Zuo Li did not continue to hit three-pointers with a hot touch as people expected, so as to chase the number of three-pointers made in a single game. After all, six three-pointers in one quarter had tied the NBA in a single quarter.

The record for three-pointers made, and as long as the feel can be maintained at a similar level, even if there is a decline, there is a great chance to break the current record for three-pointers made in a single game.

On the contrary, Zuo Li started to hit inside!

At the beginning of the second quarter, neither side replaced the core. James and Zuo Li still stayed on the court. The score at this time was 40-30. The 10-point deficit made James ready to play for 48 minutes without rest, while Zuo Li

Naturally, he also understands the Cavaliers' tendency to kill LeBron James whenever they fall behind. Naturally, he will not give the Cavaliers a chance to easily chase points. Moreover, tonight, he has already made an agreement with D'Antoni that he will not take a break easily, as long as the game is not over.

If you hit flowers, he will always stay on the field.

As soon as Zuo Li came up, he chose to play from behind, knocking Big Z away with two bangs, and then he made a one-arm dunk!

This made Big Z, who was responsible for guarding him, very depressed. Why did he do this to himself? Why didn't he back-up O'Neal? Is it because he was weak? He was obviously ready to switch defenses. After all, Zuo Li still played the same way in the first quarter.

, James will replace him as Zuo Li's defender, but if Zuo Li plays like this, his idea of ​​​​fishing will come to nothing!

What's even more depressing is James. They just spent a long time planning during the break, including how to expand the defense, press closely, and delay the game, etc.

As a result, Zuo Li's attack made them completely useless. Not only did they fail to defend Zuo Li, they also tricked themselves into it.

James was very angry, so he ran all the way with the ball, and before Zuo Li could get back in position, he forced his way to the basket and caused a foul on Danny Green. James, who finally made his move, was even more excited than having completed a dunk, and beat his chest and feet excitedly.

Then he was booed by fans in Madison...

I didn’t even score a goal, I’m so excited!

James: "..."

Sure enough, James missed the first free throw, but fortunately he saved some face by scoring the second free throw.

On the Knicks' side, Zuo Li continued to play singles with the ball. This time he still hit the big Z from the wing. His shoulders shook slightly, and then his body shook.

Big Z took half a step back, then accelerated Zuoli and turned around for another dunk!

The entire stadium was filled with Knicks fans who were mesmerized.

It's a crime, it's a crime!

This kind of shoulder-shaking dunk is really criminal!

"mvp——!!!"

The fans at the scene screamed, Zuo Li had almost scored 30 points. In comparison, James only had 4 points now. This gap is not too big.

But then James' scoring efficiency obviously improved a lot. Because he gave up the illusion of shooting, he kept hitting the basket. Although he was blocked once by Zuo Li, his score continued to rise.

After the Cavaliers' main force returned, James even scored 21 twice.

But James couldn't be happy no matter what, because Zuo Li immediately responded with an even more outrageous shot!

It started when James wanted to repeat his old trick of killing the basket and drawing a foul. This time his breakthrough was seen through. Zuo Li's simple defense made James shoot high and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Randolph collected the rebound directly.

After picking off the rebound, Randolph passed the ball directly, and Zuo Li strode directly towards the Cavaliers' half. In an instant, Zuo Li had jumped over the center line.

James kept chasing after him because O'Fay was still under the basket watching the fish and couldn't get past him.

However, Zuo Li didn't give James any chance to catch up and block shots. Zuo Li stopped immediately outside the three-point line!

Cavaliers fans’ mouths are wide open, isn’t it? Brother, if you don’t kill the basket on a fast break, you have to shoot a three-pointer?!

Zuo Li jumped forward the moment James arrived, shot and landed in one go, and made a three-pointer into the basket, a chasing three-pointer from Zuo Li!

"God!!!" Barkley shouted excitedly.

The entire Madison Square Garden exploded instantly!

The Cavaliers can only request a timeout.

But after the timeout, Zuo Li was still unstoppable. He went to the bottom corner and made a fake shot. He got past James and made a throw over Varejao's head.

Two more points!

"40 points! He scored 40 points in the first half. Oh my god, Zuo Li is really unstoppable. He was also the player with the highest score in the half of the Christmas game. Can he still score!" Yu Jiaqiao shouted.

It really works!

Then Curry missed a shot, and Zuo Li made a put-in dunk from the wing to score another two points. 12 seconds later, Zuo Li did the same and made another put-in dunk under the basket.

Buzzer!

74-58, the Knicks lead at halftime.

And Zuo Li scored 44 points in the half!
