Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

The Lakers didn't give Zuo Li a chance to take a shot, so why didn't the Knicks treat Kobe the same way?

Even worse!

In the first three rounds, neither player had a chance to take action. The Knicks relied on the opportunity of the first attack to lead 2-0.

After two minutes of play, it was still 2-0, which is enough to show how intense this game was. Both sides were fully defensive, even the intensity of the finals.

"This is definitely a wonderful game. Believe me, I use my decades of basketball experience to guarantee that if you don't watch it, you will definitely regret it." Barkley said.

"You're right, Charles, both sides are obviously at their best, but..." Smith changed the subject: "If this fight continues, it is completely acceptable for the Lakers, because no matter whether they win or lose, it will be difficult for Zuo Li to win

At 40 points, the Lakers are not a weak team like the Nets or the Pacers. If you can't get started in the first quarter, it will be even more difficult later. If this rhythm is maintained, it will be difficult for Zuo Li to tie Kobe's record."

Smith's words are very pertinent and speak to the Lakers' thoughts. They just want to prevent Zuo Li from scoring points by dragging the Knicks into a defensive battle. In this way, even if the team loses unexpectedly, Zuo Li's record will be erased.

In the end, if we win, it will be the best of both worlds. No matter what, the Lakers can't lose.

The so-called win-win means that the Lakers win twice.

I have to say that Master Zen’s tactics are first-rate.

Even Zen Master has reached the third level, that is, if Zuo Li forces a shot without hesitation, if he can get 40 points, although Zen Master thinks this possibility is very small, after all, he has arranged the most unsolvable defense in this era, plus

Sol and Odom take turns defending, with Artest and Kobe assisting in defense depending on the situation. This kind of defensive intensity is unparalleled in this era.

But don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. If Zuo Li goes against the will and still scores 40 with a strong touch, he also feels that the shooting rate will not be very good. At that time, he will also make the outside world think that Zuo Li

The established record is brushed out.

Although the record set is also a record, most people in the future will not care about how this record came. For example, when Chamberlain scored 100 points on a night, people will only lament how awesome he is. Who cares how he got it?

It's arrived.

But now it's still time-sensitive, it's enough to make you feel sick for a while, and that's enough.

Gee, it can be seen from these that the Lakers are definitely well prepared tonight.

And things seem to be going the way they thought they would.

Even though the Knicks have a strong offensive ability, the Knicks' purpose today was too obvious. It was almost obvious that the first choice for all balls was to stand on the left, which indirectly made it easier for the Lakers to defend.

Although Zuo Li is really strong, he is world-class in getting rid of, catching and dribbling the ball. He did not make a single mistake in one quarter. This was under the crazy pressing of the Lakers. Even Kobe, who was also pressed, made no mistakes in one quarter.

2 mistakes, Zuo Li turned out to be zero, which is really very powerful.

But no points!

Zuo Li only took 4 shots in the first quarter, hit two goals, and made 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 7 points. But for Zuo Li, who was determined to score 40, it was not enough.

Looking at the assists again, Zuo Li's five assists in one quarter basically came from passing the ball after being double-teamed. This is the sense of oppression brought by the Lakers' defense.

25-24 in the first quarter, the Knicks, playing at home, won by one point.

"A perfect first quarter. The Lakers need to maintain such pressure. They did a good job. They are the most successful team in limiting Zuo Li!" the Los Angeles commentator said with great satisfaction.

Another person who was satisfied was Zen Master. Kobe Bryant scored 8 points in a single quarter with a shooting rate of 30%. His performance was worse than Zuo Li's, but it didn't matter. He basically achieved all three items.

"You see, they wanted Zuo Li to succeed so much that they fell into our trap. Now, let us maintain this state, suppress them and make them impatient. As long as we maintain the defensive pressure on Zuo Li, victory will be certain.

Belongs to us." Jackson didn't talk about any tactics, and used his most powerful chicken soup for the soul to give the Lakers players a powerful blow.

Gutu

"Oh oh oh!" the Lakers players rushed back to the court with even more energy.

As for the Knicks, Zuo Li was not very satisfied with his performance in the first quarter. Undoubtedly, he also understood that the Lakers dug a hole for him, and it seemed to be very successful.

"When Kobe is pushed out, the others are defending desperately. I have to say, Zen Master, you are really a fucking genius." Zuo Li moved his shoulders: "But if you think I will give up like this, you are looking down on me.

!”

"Fuck! King versus king, versus general! I'll see who wins tonight!"

Zuo Li continues to appear in the second quarter!

No more rest!

On the first attack, under the double attack of Odom and Artest, Zuo Li forced his way through the defense to complete a layup, score, and extra penalty!

"Light up!" Zuo Li waved his arms to stir up the atmosphere.

Penalty hit!

Zuo Li gave himself a good start with a three-pointer.

However, later on, the Lakers' defense became more and more abnormal, and Zuo Li quickly fell into a quagmire. Zuo Li was not a player who had to fight hard by himself, even if he made mistakes. This was not in line with Zuo Li's basketball philosophy, so Zuo Li only

Can score the ball.

With 17 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds in the half, Zuo Li scored a second-half triple-double for the second time in his career. This is also the first time in history that a player has achieved a half-court triple-double twice.

The Knicks still suppressed the Lakers 48-46.

However, the 23 points put Zuo Li under great pressure in the second half, especially since Zuo Li had already played for 24 minutes and was holding his hands on his knees in the second half of the second quarter. Many people were worried about Zuo Li.

However, something happened in the third quarter that completely changed the game.

It was an ordinary offense at 4 minutes and 24 seconds of the third quarter. Kobe held the ball and scored a layup after a strong confrontation, but his left foot suddenly sprained when he landed!

The slow motion shows that the deformation has exceeded 70 degrees, which is a very dangerous situation.

Kobe fell to the ground and stretched his ankles, felt it, stood up, stamped his feet, and wanted to fight again, but how could the frightened Zen Master dare to bet that if Kobe was injured, he would still defend the title!

So after the exchange, he directly chose to replace Kobe, and then Kobe returned directly to the locker room...

This is where the game reaches a turning point.

In the end, the Lakers had no intention of playing. Zuo Li scored 10 points in the third quarter...14 points in the last quarter. He scored a triple-double of 41 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists, leading the Knicks to a 109-103 victory over the Lakers, a double win over the Lakers this season.

He also scored 40 points in nine consecutive games, tying Jordan and Kobe for second place in history!

But after the game, Zuo Li was not very excited. Kobe Bryant's unexpected injury left him dissatisfied with the result.

"This is not the best result. I think none of us will be satisfied. This is not the end. I hope Kobe is fine. I hope we will meet again this season." After the game, Zuo Li said.
