…

Immediately after the game, media from all over the world, whether authoritative media or the king of popularity, made extensive reports on this game.

Just one day later, the man who had just swept the headlines as the MVP of the regular season due to his quadruple-double once again dominated the pages of major media.

With only 14 points in the half, he still scored 45 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks. In the last quarter, his contribution was enough to make the oil pipe explode. Every ball can be included in the singles performance. No wonder

After the game, Zuo Li received a lot of applause in the away game despite being the main culprit for the team's loss.

Anyone who really likes basketball can't resist Zuo Li's performance.

It's really too strong!

Magic has become numb.

The moment the game ended, Howard, who had 15 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks, 5 fouls and 5 turnovers, was lying on the floor. He calmed down and realized that he had messed up everything. If he hadn't been calm at the last moment, maybe they would still have

Opportunity, but he prevented the team from even reaching the winning moment.

Vince Carter, who scored 22 points tonight, looked a little confused. He was here to hug his thigh. Who knew that he had the thickest thigh in these games? Nelson turned his jersey over and covered his head.

I don’t know how to accept this defeat. This is 16 points...

Dafan wanted to comfort his teammates, but he didn't know where to start... They had almost all the favorable conditions in this game. The referee was in their favor. They were leading in three quarters and were full of momentum. But they all lost. He

I don’t know how to win…

After the game whistle sounded, all the Knicks rushed back to the locker room. Randolph, who had been sent off, was finally released. He stood at the door and gave Zuo Li a bear hug. Stephen Curry was limping on the stool.

Disco, the whole thing is a chaotic dance of demons.

Zuo Li persuaded everyone to give up the idea of ​​going to nightclubs to dance.

It’s okay and right to be excited, but popping the champagne at halftime is a no-no.

Although there has been no example of a 0-3 reversal before, and Zuo Li has never heard of it before, but this thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. There was no such thing before 1-3 in the finals. What was the result?

Respecting metaphysics means respecting yourself!

Zuo Li didn't want to be remembered for this incident, so it was better to play it safe.

However, D'Antoni was still considerate of everyone. Although it was not possible outside, he still asked the staff to return to the hotel and have a small celebration at the hotel to combine work and rest. Moreover, this game is indeed worthy of celebration. After all, this is the Knicks.

The game was overturned for the first time in the second playoffs. From the process to the result, it was of great significance to the Knicks' next games.

Of course, before going back to celebrate, they did not forget to praise Zuo Liyitong in front of the media.

"Who else could it be besides Zuo Li?" Curry.

"He saved me. I knew I messed up, but luckily, we had Zuoli." Randolph.

"We will complain about the flagrant foul. Randolph didn't mean it, it was not an injury-killing move, and his end also made us passive. Fortunately, we still have Zuo Li, who can do anything. I

Keep saying that." D'Antoni.

…

Of course, those words are not all praise, after all, no one expected the 3-0 lead before the start of this series.

Perhaps before the semifinals started, Knicks fans imagined that this Knicks could go to the Eastern Conference Finals. After all, they were number one in the league and defeated the Magic last season.

When it was 1-0, they felt that the team's strength was good and they could definitely fight; when it was 2-0, they felt that the home court advantage was very well grasped, and they would have high fault tolerance and greater opportunities; and after 3-0, the fans

They have gone crazy...

"I'm already studying my opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals." Spike Lee showed off his hand-drawn tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals, emphasizing his confidence.

Magic fans are very angry, but there is nothing they can do because even the most confident fans have lost confidence now.

Prior to this, the best record when trailing 0-3 was a 3-4 draw, and the current wish of Magic fans is whether the team can win a game.

From confidence to humility, sometimes it only takes three games.

…

The Magic still gave their fans what they wanted.

On May 9th, the Eastern Conference Semifinals G4 will continue at the Magic’s home court.

Before the game, the Magic held the grandest opening since the series, and many former Magic stars were invited to the sidelines to cheer.

If I had known that magic celebrities were famous for falling out with magic, it would not be easy to find seven or eight celebrities who were somewhat famous.

The Magic played very crazy as soon as they started, basically running and filling in without any effort. Howard also started to do the dirty work, filling in, grabbing rebounds, picking and rolling. Although he didn't score much, he was indeed more like a player.

A qualified leader.

This desperate style of play is also effective. After all, the Knicks did not beat the main force crazily. Zuo Li played 7 minutes in the first quarter, 6 and a half minutes in the second quarter, and 8 minutes in the third quarter. Only the most important fourth quarter was

Zuo Li played 11 minutes. The playing time of other main players was not much different from that of Zuo Li.

But Magic, Howard, and Carter played 48 minutes, Nelson 46 and a half minutes, and Lewis 44 minutes...

Really worked hard.

At the last moment, it was Carter's tip-in that sealed the victory.

98-94, the Magic defeated the Knicks with a 4-point advantage and tied the score at 1-3.

After the game, Carter, who hit the key goal and scored 29 points, told reporters: "We haven't given up yet! We can still win, we have found a way!"

Howard, who scored 14 points and 18 rebounds, also said: "This will be the beginning of the Magic finding its rhythm!"

However, everyone who knows the magic knows that this is a return of magic, and it is really difficult to regain magic that has consumed almost all of its power.

Some people may say, wouldn’t it be over if we fight this early?

However, the fact is that with the way this game is played, one game is okay, but two or three games are simply too much. The five main players play for more than 44 minutes in each game. In such an intense game, there are only two outcomes: injury or loss of strength.

Although the Knicks fought until the last moment, they had no intention of studing. The main force played normally and did not force more games.

This back and forth, plus the end game is the Knicks' home court...

"We will not come back again." After the game, Zuo Li, who had 27 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, did not continue to tantalize reporters and said directly: "We will end this series in the next game!"
