Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Who would have thought that Zuo Li, who was originally going to lie down and play soy sauce, relied on his excellent rebounding sense to use 7 secondary attacks in exchange for 17 points in the half... and 10 rebounds.

He turned out to be the player with the best statistics in the Eastern Conference after halftime. After all, he already had a double-double and almost a triple-double...

At this time, Zuo Li looked at his data with a confused face, this is the legendary man from Tianyuan?!

Barkley said with a smile that Zuo Li was able to produce this data thanks entirely to other people in the Eastern Conference. They are really tough, especially... ahem, I won't name names...

If I had known, Zuo Li would have the lowest assist rate among all the stars who score more than 10 points on the court, as high as 0%...

It is also the second attack with the highest success rate, up to 100%...

It has to be said that it is really amazing to be able to focus on these two data at the same time.

This also reflects Zuoli's treatment in the first half. No one passed the ball and he had to rely on himself to grab the ball. He didn't ask anyone for anything and did everything on his own.

Yu Jia also implicitly criticized some stars in the Eastern Conference, saying they were a little too independent.

In fact, being alone in the All-Stars is not a problem. Who doesn’t want to perform well? The problem is that being alone but not making the score would be too embarrassing, so at halftime, neither James nor Way looked very good-looking.

In fact, Janeway was a little too anxious. They wanted to perform well, and their offensive choices were extremely unreasonable. There was no defense in this kind of situation, and attacking inside was what they were best at. This was not an accurate shot, but

They had to choose long-range shots, as if they wanted to prove that they had the basket, but the result was a stiff hand.

This is not embarrassing.

Look at the Western Conference, Kidd, Nash, Paul, Deron, Parker... Well, who wouldn't be jealous of this lineup of guards?

And their style of play made the Western Conference play very reasonably and flow smoothly. If it weren't for the lack of a reliable big brother, they might have opened the score long ago, and it wouldn't be a small scene like leading by 7 points at halftime.

Whether it's Anthony, Dirk, Duncan, or Stoudemire, they didn't have a high desire to score tonight. Durant was very active, but it's a pity that he was just starting out and only played 4 and a half minutes.

If Kobe was here, tsk tsk, it would not be a dream to win the MVP again.

In view of this, many commentators said that the playing time of the Green Army trio and the Knicks trio should be increased in the second half to give Zuo Li more opportunities.

D'Antoni thinks so too. After all, he is one of his own. He also hopes that Zuo Li can take away the victory and the MVP by the way. Although Zuo Li told him that he wanted to rest, which coach doesn't want his players to be in the limelight? He thinks it is necessary.

This made Zuo Li cheer up.

So in the second half, he directly put Zuo Li, the Green Army trio, and Rose on the court.

Zuo Li also had this intention. With these statistics, if he didn't play well, he would be sorry for the offensive rebounds God threw in front of him!

In the third quarter of the game, the two sides continued to attack without defense. Zuo Li changed his soy sauce style of play in the first half and became proactive, even replacing Rose and starting to control the ball.

Then there were all kinds of dunks, no-look passes, and super long three-pointers.

In the 4th minute, he even staged a Nash imitation show, exchanging passing skills with Nash. Nash assisted Stoudemire for a dunk, and Zuo immediately assisted Garnett for a slam dunk.

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Zuo Li even showed off his performance.

He first pulled Kaman out in the first round and scored a three-pointer. In the next round, he repeated his same trick, pretending to play a fake shot and a real pass. As a result, Kaman did not dare to come out...

Looking at Kaman standing three meters away in front of him, Zuo Li said loudly to him: "Uncle Kaman, right here, I will score this ball in front of you."

Kaman: "Ah? What did you say! The wind is too strong and I can't hear you!"

After being dictated by Nash, Kaman finally knew what Zuo Li said. Good guy, do you call this in front of me?!

I wish I were half a world away from you. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

brush!

Zuo Li hit another three-pointer and made two consecutive three-pointers to tie the score!

The third quarter was just about to end at this time. The Western Conference missed a goal in the last 3 seconds, and the two sides entered the last interquarter break.

The score at this time was 107-107, and the two sides were tied. The 100,000 spectators at the scene were happy, and the players also stopped laughing and their expressions became solemn.

In the NBA All-Stars, there is an unwritten unspoken rule, that is, if the game is tied in the fourth quarter, then the real game is about to begin!

Sure enough, both sides started the fourth quarter with their best players tonight.

The Western Conference, the Suns combination of Nash and Stoudemire, the Nuggets duo of Billups and Anthony, and Dirk on the inside.

Eastern Conference, Zuoli, Randolph's Knicks inside line, James, Wade and Joe Johnson.

Garnett has already rested, as well as Pierce and Rondo. They are really here to lie down tonight. They have already told D'Antoni that they will not play for the sake of the championship.

Howard was very depressed. He wanted to play, but his left position was too stable.

Looking at the lineup, it seems that the Eastern Conference is better, but sometimes the lineup is not directly proportional to the combat effectiveness. The main reason is that the two pairs in the Western Conference have a very tacit understanding. Although the defense is not good, the offense directly makes up for the defense. In the Eastern Conference, the inside can't get the ball, and the outside is Janeway.

After getting the ball high, Joe Johnson stopped passing the ball and shot randomly, so that the Western Conference once again opened up a 10-point gap.

"Tsk, we're going to win against the Western Conference like this. They have a good rhythm. James is still playing in the Eastern Conference. Zuo Li used rebounds to play the second offense. There is too little cooperation." Barkley said.

James also felt very uncomfortable. At first, he really didn't want to cooperate with Zuo Li and the others. He wanted to play by himself and see if he could win an MVP. But now he wants to cooperate, but his and Zuo Li's positions overlap.

Zuo Li either stands inside to get the ball, or he holds the ball from the outside and plays it himself. In short, he cannot catch and shoot. However, James needs a lot of ball rights to exert his power.

Bosh, the Big Three of the Heat in later generations, was immediately eliminated in his first year because he also needed to play with the ball and the frame. Bosh, who was forced from behind, went directly to develop mid-to-long range.

When playing against James, the standard for a general inside lineman is to be able to shoot, open up space, attract defense, and be able to pick and roll...

On this basis, the team also needs to match a defender with ball-handling ability and excellent individual singles ability, such as Wade and Irving, as well as forwards and defenders who can shoot and defend, such as Battier and Ray Allen.

, as well as internal rim-protecting human shields, such as Anderson and Statham...

Looking at James' several championships, the combination is always the same.

Zuo Li is not such a player. He shoots well, but he basically needs to hold the ball and shoot by himself. He can wait for the ball to shoot, but it is not necessary... After all, Zuo Li's strongest point is not this. He does not need to change his game.

To cater to others.

This may be the legendary discord.

Therefore, the Eastern Conference struggled very hard, and the point difference was not narrowed by one point.

Seeing this, Su Qun said that maybe the front line could be adjusted.

D'Antoni made a decisive move, taking down James in the last 5 and a half minutes, replacing him with Howard, who stood on the left and moved to the third position...
