Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Foul, home whistle...The Bobcats used every method they could think of in G4. They sent Zuo Li to the free throw line 11 times, but in exchange Zuo Li made 17 of 20 free throws, finishing the game with 48 points, 14 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 assists.

horrific data.

There were also 4 of 5 three-pointers, including the fatal 31 in the end!

The unstoppable Zuo Li completely destroyed the Bobcats.

After the game, looking at the score on the big screen, Bobcats fans didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

They should cry because they played so shamelessly and still lost, being ruthlessly swept in the first playoffs. They should laugh because they were finally free and did not need to feel the sadness of a team being beaten.

This might be a good thing…

"Congratulations to the New York Knicks!"

After a season, New York fans once again heard the sweet sound of promotion.

It’s the first round again, it’s 4-0 again, and the New York Knicks have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second consecutive season!

However, unlike the New York fans who rushed to tell each other and celebrate the New Year after the first round last season, this time the fans' mentality is taken for granted.

Even the No. 1 Knicks player, Smith, said calmly: "I'm glad we made it to the second round, but it's nothing, it's very dull. Our journey is only about to begin now."

The reason for this is not only that the second time is certainly more familiar than the first time, but also that winning these four games is too easy.

Not counting the fourth game, the Knicks had to beat the Bobcats by 30 points in every game. Even counting the fourth game, they barely narrowed the average point difference to less than 30 points. The two teams are not at the same level, whether you understand it or not.

If you understand basketball, these are all things you can see at a glance.

Therefore, what people are most concerned about is not the outcome of the game, but what records Zuo Li has set.

Don’t tell me, there really is!

Although the outside world has regarded Zuo Li's 3515 points as a daily operation, after four games, Zuo Li still created a new record, which is the highest scoring average in a single round in the history of the NBA playoffs.

In the four games, he averaged 42.75 points from the left field. He scored 40 points in three of the four games, and his score was no less than 35. This performance naturally surpassed last season's Eastern Conference semifinals, and against James, who averaged 38.5 points per game against the Magic, he became

First in a single round!

Of course, this data was naturally questioned by James, who believed that Zuo Li was in the first round... and his gold content could not be compared with James.

Then he was immediately slapped in the face by NBA officials. The officials obviously took this situation into consideration and only listed the points per game in the first round.

Previously, James had the highest scoring average in the first round. In the 2005-06 season, James, who led the team to the playoffs for the first time, faced Arenas' Wizards in the first round. He averaged 35.7 points in 6 games and led the Cavaliers.

It was close to the second round, and James was 21 years old that day.

Now, James is speechless. It’s the same first round, and he’s almost the same age. Zuo Li is even younger than James, but his statistics are still better than James. If you want to mention something valuable again, don’t beat yourself up.

’s face?

Of course, in the face of such things, Zuo Li still has a lot of emotional intelligence. He said that the data in the first round has no reference value, and the gold content in a single round currently belongs to O'Neal.

Zuo Li's words also received a lot of praise, and many people also agreed. After all, O'Neal's 38 points and 16.8 rebounds in 6 games in the 1999-00 season finals are indeed terrifying, not only in such a critical round of the finals,

The performance was impeccable, and the final championship was the jewel in the crown. Other so-called single-round scores pale in comparison to O'Neal's round.

"We only care about winning or losing, let's focus on the semi-finals." Zuo Li said in a subsequent interview.

This inadvertently gave James another shot in the knee. After all, they lost the series last season.

But James is not depressed, because he has a chance to prove himself again this season!

Two days after the Knicks advanced, the Cavaliers led by James defeated the Bucks 108-92, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4-1, and successfully advanced to the second round.

Although they failed to sweep their opponents and allowed the Bucks to hold on to one game at home, the 4-1 score still reflected the strength of the Cavaliers, especially the combination of James, O'Neal and Jamison. They played well this round and basically won

The Bucks exploded inside and outside, especially Jennings, who completely lost his regular season form, averaging only 11 points in 5 games and shooting 30% from the field.

This performance also gave people more confidence in the Cavaliers' semifinals. Of course, more people were still sweating because the Cavaliers' opponents in the next round were none other than the Celtics.

Regardless of the fact that the Celtics started high and went low in the regular season, if they hadn't held on in the last ten games, they might have fallen to fifth place, a hundred times worse than what people predicted for him in the summer. But once it comes to the playoffs,

They were completely resurrected, just as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The feeling given to people by the Celtics during the regular season is that Garnett can't run anymore, Ray Allen can't make shots, and Rasheed Wallace is getting worse and worse.

But against the Heat in the first round of the playoffs, Wade couldn't survive a round in the hands of the Big Five. It was too violent!

The Celtics held the Heat scoreless for 3 minutes as soon as they came on, and allowed Wade to shoot 5 of 18 from the field. In the end, they only had 17 points. In the following two games, Wade's shots even dropped.

, because he couldn't get the ball at all, he barely averaged 20 points per game in the end... This was also a major waterloo in Wade's career.

This also proves the strength of Kobe Bryant in the 2008 Finals. He was able to score 38 points in a single game under the Green Army at his peak, which is really amazing. It is a pity that the Green Army is not only defensive.

If Wade is blocked, the Heat will lose two-thirds of it. You can't rely on Beasley. This guy's trash talk on the court almost made the Celtics throw it away like garbage!

4-0, the Heat were directly swept by the Celtics. Just the day after the Knicks entered the second round, the Celtics became the second team to enter the semifinals.

With such a team as the opponent in the second round, it's no wonder that Cavaliers fans have some bad premonitions.

Of course, there are still fans who are very confident in the Cavaliers. They believe that the stronger the opponent, the more valuable they can be to win the championship!

Moreover, they also hope to take revenge for their 3-4 loss in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the 2008 playoffs!

This is also the confidence of the Cavaliers. Two years ago, they only had James and they fought the Celtics in 7 games and unfortunately lost. Now, they have a complete lineup, and it is time to take revenge!

Haha, I hope they can maintain such confidence after the second round.

The Knicks' opponents also appeared three days later. The Magic defeated the Hawks 98-90 without any blood at home, eliminating their opponents with a total score of 4-2 and advancing to the second round.

This round of the game is the only close and suspenseful game in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

Although Howard dominated the paint, Joe Johnson and Josh Smith still caused some trouble for the Magic. The two sides once tied 2-2. Unfortunately, Carter's 35-point explosion in a single game completely surprised the Eagles, and they eventually lost.

In the fifth and sixth games, the Magic didn't give them another chance and always maintained the lead, which allowed the Magic to pass in the final 6 games.

The Knicks versus the Magic, last season's Eastern Conference Finals were staged ahead of schedule, and it was another grudge showdown.

According to Howard's words after the game, they were here to end the feud between the two sides.

"We will win! This time! We won't make it easy for them again!"

Zuo Li said: "Magic is very good. I hope they won't cry when they lose!"

In this way, the top four in the Eastern Conference will pass without any suspense, and there will be no upsets.

The two groups' duel changed the boring situation in the first round and started to become interesting.

As for the West…
