Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Barkley's words reminded Magic fans of not-so-good memories. Just a few months ago, Zuo Li had just scored his second personal and sixth quadruple-double with the Magic.

As a result, magic has always been one of Zuoli's designated backgrounds. Now, if you don't have magic in various collections, others will say you are unprofessional!

This also leads to everyone knowing that the Magic's defense is not as good as imagined. Now when discussing the league's top defensive teams, the Magic are often ignored by everyone.

These are the pain in the hearts of Magic fans, but they can be tolerated. After all, it is only a regular season, and there are reasons why it is not true.

But now, Magic fans' inner nightmare is back!

Zuo Li actually had a triple-double in the first half, and he also had six blocks!

This is not the end!

"Please! Don't let Zuo Li get a quadruple-double in the playoffs! Even if you have to defeat your opponent, don't let it be the Magic!"

Many Magic fans in front of the TV began to say Hallelujah.

However, if you are only temporary, the effect is also temporary.

In the third quarter, Zuo Li led Anderson, Curry, Beverley, and Chandler to the stage. Beverley made his first appearance in the Eastern Conference semifinals. His task was to lock in the first half. Although Zuo Li blocked three shots,

But Nelson, who scored 11 points, still harassed Carter, who scored the Magic's highest score of 16 points.

This is a very heavy task. Although these two are not at their peak, they are still quasi-All-Star players. Guarding them is not an easy task, especially for rookie Beverley.

But this is training. D'Antoni trusts Beverley, and Zuo Li also hopes that Beverley will train earlier and more. What else can grow more than a strong defensive player? And it is so important in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In this situation, even if you are beaten up, you will still gain this experience!

So Beverley treasured it very much. He gave 120% of his energy when he came on the court, stayed close to him, talked trash, and threw all his 20 years of skills on Nelson.

However, Nelson still drew a foul in front of him and made two free throws!

However, Zuo Li did not blame Beverley, and encouraged him: "Don't be so tight. The defense should be relaxed and relaxed. There is no good in pressing one person. Don't worry, restrict rather than prevent death. Let it in and I will make up for you."

Zuo Li's words gave Beverly more confidence. He was not a timid person. He thought that he was also a bit of a grand occasion man. How about calling him a mad dog?

So he made a decisive adjustment in the second round, letting Nelson's left hand go, not giving him a chance to shoot, and allowing Nelson to rush in.

Seeing this breakthrough opportunity, Nelson actually refused it. In the first half, he was blocked three times by the left side.

However, for a defender, if you don't break out when you see a breakthrough opportunity, it's like a dog who doesn't move when you see meat. It's simply impossible!

Suddenly!

Nelson pulled back from behind and forced Beverley to break through. In order to prevent being blocked by the left winger, Nelson made a throw!

However…

Who says floaters can't be blocked!

Zuo Li intercepted in the air, blocked Nelson, and the blocked ball flew directly out of the three-point line!

"Mine!" Curry turned around at the three-point line and directly took the ball for a fast break. Carter wanted to pull someone, but failed, and Curry was all in one!

"Don't button, don't button, don't button!" Zuo Li reminded Stephen loudly that the legend of Golden State LaVine must not be staged in New York!

Fortunately, although Curry has always dreamed of dunking, he still didn't dare to waste it on this occasion. After all, Carter was chasing closely. He avoided the block with a throw and the Knicks added two more points.

"Is this an assist?" As a result, Curry turned around and the first thing he did was to run to the technical table and ask if this was Zuo Li's assist.

Curry is even more anxious than Zuo Li. This is a quadruple-double, so he must not let it go!

"This should be an assist...a block and an assist? Zuo immediately has a triple-double!" Director Zhang was also the anxious one.

But Zuo Li is not in a hurry. He has already won two quadruple-doubles. Although he is better in the playoffs, he is still essentially a quadruple-double. Moreover, he is in good condition tonight. He can feel it. There is no need to pursue it deliberately. Everything will fall into place.

of.

In this quarter, the Knicks suppressed the Magic's counterattack through defense. Beverley changed the defense through Zuo Li's prompt. Nelson only scored 5 points in this quarter. Fortunately, he only gave Zuo Li a block, otherwise Magic fans would probably be disappointed.

He is about to be expelled from the team.

However, Zuo Li still scored 7 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block in a single quarter. After three quarters, Zuo Li scored a triple-double with 17 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

This is Zuo Li's first triple-double in this playoffs and his seventh triple-double in his career in the playoffs!

However, people are waiting to see if Zuo Li can still get three blocks in the fourth quarter. This number may be a barrier to others. After all, Zuo Li is the only one who averages more than three blocks per game this season.

But there is still a good chance for Zuo Li. After all, Zuo Li is an absolute monster of talent, and his shot-blocking skills have been taught by many super centers. At this time, he is already at the top level. As long as he works hard and is lucky, he should be able to

There is still a chance.

Moreover, the Magic were only 14 points behind in the third quarter. This did not mean giving up and not playing in the fourth quarter. I thought it would be very intense.

Sure enough, in the first minute of the fourth quarter, Zuo Li found an opportunity for Lewis. The second attack was too casual, and Zuo Li slapped him out of the baseline.

However, the ninth block came belatedly. It was not until the last 5 minutes that Nelson stole the ball and assisted Pietrus. The latter made a fast break and was slapped on the backboard by Zuo Li who was chasing after him for 30 meters!

9!

And this goal directly denied the Magic and narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points!

"The key goal! Zuo Li's shot was so exciting! A 7-foot-long man chased the goal from 30 meters away!" Director Zhang had already begun to worship him.

However, Howard finally showed his blood at such a critical moment. After picking and rolling, he shouted, "Give me the ball!"

Nelson scored the ball, and Howard rushed in to complete a dunk, keeping the Magic's hope of chasing points.

Then the two teams started a fierce collision, and more and more fouls were committed. Zuo Li's points and rebounds continued to rise, but there was no chance to block shots.

Now the Magic hardly gives defenders a chance to challenge the left winger alone, and the backcourt duo of Carter and Nelson shot better than layups tonight.

It was almost the end of the game. Although the Knicks still had an 8-point advantage and a great chance of winning, Zuo Li's last key block had not yet arrived.

The fans were a little restless.

It happened that at this time Carter and Nelson made three-pointers one after another. The Knicks' Curry responded with a three-pointer but then Zuoli's shot missed!

The 5-point gap gave the Magic hope!

Nelson strode forward and cooperated with Howard in the pick-and-roll, aiming only for the basket!

"Yes!" Nelson European-stepped out of the way of Danny Green in front of him and prepared to shoot in the air, but his face was immediately covered by a shadow!

"Left!!!" Barkley and all the commentators roared at the same time.

Snapped!

"Thanks Nelson!" New York fans roared together and celebrated wildly.

The music was even directly changed on the spot... Linkin Park's "Intheand" was directly arranged.

The tenth block!

Quadruple-double coming to the playoffs!
