Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

For Zuo Li, winning the charity award was an off-field incident, far less joyful than being the best defensive player. So after receiving the award in the morning, the trophy was thrown into the locker room, and Zuo Li continued to prepare for the evening game.

went.

On May 3rd, the Eastern Conference Semifinals G2 kicked off, and the Knicks were still in the lead.

In the three matchups other than the Knicks, it was neither surprising nor surprising.

Not surprisingly, the Lakers defeated the Jazz. Although the process was a bit dangerous and the final score difference was only 6 points, the Lakers still won without any trouble.

Counting the regular season and playoffs, this is the Jazz's 15th consecutive defeat against the Lakers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. They lost eight consecutive games here in the regular season and the previous two playoffs.

They also lost all 6 games here, and today they extended this record to 15 games.

It’s no wonder that the outside world has the lowest expectations for this matchup. The Jazz have indeed not had any record of defeating the Lakers in recent years.

The surprise was between the Suns and the Spurs. The Suns at home easily defeated the Spurs. The Spurs even trailed the entire game. Although Popovich was as furious as ever and Duncan was as stable as ever, they still lost by 16 points in the end.

This is completely different from people's predictions before the game. After all, who doesn't know that the Suns have never won against the Spurs. If it weren't for the Spurs, Nash and Stoudemire would not have reached the finals until now.

Even their relationship is similar to that between the Lakers and the Jazz. They are mutually reinforcing each other. Many people are still a little uncomfortable with such an accidental defeat.

However, Spurs fans can still sit still. After all, it is only the first game and it is an away game, which doesn’t mean anything.

But Zuo Li knew that this game was basically the same as the Lakers' game, setting the tone.

Although the two games look different from the point difference, the essence is the same, that is, the Lakers and Suns can score whenever they want, and their opponents can't control it.

If you have watched the game, you will know that the Lakers led from beginning to end and were reversed more than once in the middle. But it was not because the Jazz defended well or anything, but because the Lakers couldn't make their own shots, and they couldn't make the opportunity shots, which gave the Jazz a chance, and then Kobe Bryant

He came out to take over the game, strengthened his defense, and got back in one round.

This is even more true for the Suns. The Spurs didn't lose because they didn't play well. They had a normal GDP and good tactics, but they just couldn't win. Being led by the Suns, this kind of loss is the most desperate.

In this case, you only have a chance unless your opponent fails to make a shot. If you perform normally, you have no chance at all.

So Zuo Li can already conclude that the two teams in the Western Conference Finals are basically determined.

The most surprising thing should be the Green Army and the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers at home lost the first game!

In Zuo Li's memory, this game should be won by the Cavaliers, and it was one of the few games where James and O'Neal worked very well together.

But who knew that although James scored 30 points in this game, his shooting percentage dropped sharply to 35%, and he made 2 of 8 three-pointers. It was like an iron god descending, and even the home fans were stunned.

After the game, it was hard for the Kremlin media to find an angle to regain their respect. After all, it was James who was so stubborn that the Green Army actually won without much effort.

After the game, various criticisms followed, but Zuo Li comforted Lao Zhan: "Don't worry, they will bottom out and rebound!"

Many Zhan Mi felt a little embarrassed about this, because they usually embarrassed Zuo Li, so what Zuo Li said made them feel a little guilty.

Some Cavaliers fans even came over to apologize...

But Zuo Li is very generous. He doesn't care about black. Moreover, he just said that he has bottomed out and rebounded. He doesn't necessarily think that the Cavaliers can win. Zuo Li just thinks that this series will not end so easily.

After all, in Zuo Li's mind, even among the four semi-finals, this matchup is a bit suspenseful.

What? You mean magic?

Please, Zuo Li is not prepared to drag on with the Magic. In his heart, the Magic do not have the strength to beat the Knicks at this time.

In the Eastern Conference Finals that I remember, the Magic were defeated by the Celtics in three consecutive games, and they barely won the fourth game in overtime.

In Yang Yi's words, the magic in 2009 was about where to go, and this year's magic is about where to go.

Their cards have been revealed by Zuo Li.

Of course, Magic definitely doesn't think so.

…

On May 3rd, in the semifinals G2, Madison Square Garden was already filled with fans who were looking forward to it.

With the blessing of three major awards and reports of various charity deeds, Zuo Li's popularity is even higher than before. During the pre-game training, Zuo Li almost didn't come out because there were too many arms in the tunnel!

When entering the stadium, Zuo Li also greeted all the female stars cordially, waved, hugged, and kissed each other. In short, the whole scene turned pink.

Howard is an old pervert, and he currently has more illegitimate children than the Magic's starting players. Of course he likes celebrities, but it's a pity that celebrities don't like him.

So how can you not be jealous when you see Zuo Li having close contact with a group of Hollywood goddesses!

Zuo Li: Do you think I’m happy?! I’m almost marinated in perfume!

Howard: Don't show off!

Zuo Li:???

…

"Humph, I hope you can still laugh after a while!" Howard snorted and turned around to prepare for the game.

In this game, both sides had the same starting lineup, and the result of the jump ball was also the same, except that Lewis was on the defensive left.

From the outside, this defense change seems to be a change of soup without changing medicine. What's the point of Lewis keeping up with his pace? He is not in good health and does not fight enough. Zuo Li pulls to the low post. Beating him is not the same as playing.

Moreover, this season is the year when Lewis has completely become an average player. In this regular season, Lewis only played 57 games and averaged only 11.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

In the first game, Lewis was absolutely ravaged by Randolph, finishing with 8 points and 4 rebounds.

In the past two days, many people have expressed their hope to use Gortat to replace him and Warcraft to play the twin towers.

In the end, you actually used him to defend Zuo Li?

Waste recycling, right?

Why!

It really is!

Da Fan was not going to use Howard to solve the problem today because he found that it could not be solved and even sacrificed Howard. The inside line could not stand, which made the Magic unable to play.

So in this case, he simply let Howard be liberated, Nelson was also liberated, and Carter didn't need to take care of it, just let Lewis do it alone!

He couldn't stop him, so he asked Howard to cover up the defense and expand the defensive range, not giving the Knicks outside shooters a chance to take an easy shot!

This is the magic trick!

The first ball broke through from the left. Lewis blocked it, but couldn't stop it and put it in. Howard opened his pocket to cover.

The ball was scored from the left, and Randolph received the ball and scored.

In the second round, Zuo Li pulled up to the low post and attacked with his back. Howard turned around and defended in place. Zuo Li did not hit hard and gave Randolph the ball again.

This time, Randolph scored again from the basket.

"Tsk, tsk, this ultimate move isn't that good either."
