Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

There is nothing more regrettable than losing the third game 1-1.

A set of data, according to statistics, since the NBA implemented the 7-game 4-win format, the team that wins the third game with a big score of 1-1 has a 73% probability of winning the series.

In the finals, out of 10 1-1 situations, 8 of the teams that took the lead in winning the third game won the final championship.

In other words, after losing G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks' probability of advancing is only 27%.

This is indeed a disappointing statistic.

What's even more heartbreaking is that since Zuo Li joined the Celtics, in the two playoff seasons, except for the Finals against the Lakers, the Knicks have never lost the third game after 1-1. This is the first time.

, This is also one of the few times the Knicks fell behind in the playoffs.

Last time they fell behind and lost the championship, so what about this time...

What makes fans even more desperate today is the way they lost. Although it looked like a narrow defeat by 4 points, the process was still the same as the second game. Since falling behind in the second quarter, the Knicks have never taken a lead of even one minute. 4

The point difference is like a natural chasm, blocking the Knicks' pace of victory.

This means that the rhythm of the game is completely in the hands of the Celtics, and the Knicks are completely passive in dealing with it.

After the game, Director Zhang said when analyzing the problems of the two teams: "The Celtics' defense is too strong. Although the Knicks are not bad, the fact that a group of newcomers can defend like this already gives me a thumbs up, but the young

Ah, they are still too young, they can't handle the relationship between offense and defense well, and in the end the offense has no energy. This may be because they have paid tuition for their youth."

Su Qun said in his column: "The Knicks wanted to guard the Celtics too much, which led to the rhythm being taken away. It is obviously impossible to compete with the Green Army's five giants with only one person on the left."

Barkley said bluntly after the game: "If it weren't for Zuoli's support, maybe the Knicks wouldn't even be able to score 50 points."

Green Army star Larry Bird also said on social media: "Based on the Celtics' defensive intensity tonight, only Zuo Li could score a double-double with 28 points."

Yes, this is also the point of despair for Knicks fans. In both games, Zuo Li seemed to have tried his best. He continued to destroy Perkins' defense in the paint and even contributed to one-on-two exciting scenes. After the game

The YouTuber Zuo Li has more personal highlights than the entire Celtics team, and his statistics are also completely crushed. Even Greens coach Doc Rivers admitted after the game that Zuo Li is a well-deserved All-Star.

But what's the use? If you can't win, you still can't win.

Zuo Hei has already begun to tease, saying that it won't be long before Zuo Li can kill the leader of the group in vain.

Even a media like Sports Illustrated, which has always been relatively left-leaning, can only lament that Zuo Li is a lone hero, but only the team as a whole can win the playoffs.

What's more, some radical fans have begun to angrily criticize the Knicks management, thinking that their operations in the summer are like shit. While others are working hard to increase the team's All-Star chips, they have been picking up the rags...

Of course, Zuo Li has never cared about the words of the fans. His love is deep and his responsibility is deep. Many fans just say a few angry words because they are too excited. Should they support the next game?

But the words of the Celtic players really stimulated Zuo Li.

"Let's end this series on the road!" Pierce said coquettishly after the game.

"Last year we just lost Kevin. Now that he's back, we are strong enough." Ray Allen.

"It's time to discuss the next game. Game 4? There is no reason not to win. We will try our best to go to the away game with a greater advantage." Rondo.

"We were just unlucky in the first game. If we were lucky, we should be leading 3-0 now, but it doesn't matter. 2-1 is not bad. Now we need to continue to win the home court." Tony Allen.

…

Crazy, too arrogant!

The Green Army seems to have no regard for the Knicks. They can't wait to return to the finals after a season away.

However, this completely angered Zuo Li.

Originally, after the game, reporters' criticism of other players already made Zuo Li unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it, reporters were just like that.

But the Green Army guys really don't take the Knicks and Zuo Li seriously.

"Open the champagne at halftime, okay...then let me see how much oil you still have!"

So Zuo Li said directly during a public interview on the second day of G3: "Losing is all my fault. I am the boss of this team. It is naturally my fault if we can't beat it. I hope everyone will stop criticizing my teammates."

.”

"I always think I have the best teammates. Now it's only 1-2. It's too early to discuss who can advance, isn't it?"

"I will win g4, right on this field. If you don't believe it, I hope you can come and see for yourself. By the way..."

"Paul, Kevin, maybe I'll kick your ass on the court!"

In a sharp interview, Zuo Li responded mercilessly. The reporters who listened had their eyes widened. After the interview, they all wanted Zuo Li to say a few more words.

There is no doubt that this interview has attracted more attention to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Boston Airport has been very busy these two days because capable fans from all over the world are rushing here for fear of missing a good show.

Zuo Li's remarks also caused an uproar on social media, with fans leaving messages:

"Zuo Li was forced to panic..."

"I don't blame Zuo Li, the Green Army's speech is indeed irritating."

"Don't be fooled, Zuo Li, they just want you to lose your cool!"

"The big words have been released. I hope Zuo Li won't let us down."

"Hey, no one really believes that Zuo Li can beat five with one, the Green Army has already won."

"Stern laughed so hard that he went to the toilet. He has already made a lot of money before the game even started."

…

Pierce also responded again: "I'm waiting for you buddy! I hope there will be a duel between real men. If you lose, don't cry."

Kevin Garnett did not respond, but said calmly: "We will win, that's it."

Zuo Li did not respond to this, but people who were interested have discovered that Zuo Li had silently removed the finger guard that accompanied him for two games during training.

…

The Knicks' training is as usual, but the atmosphere is a bit solemn. Although Curry and Belinelli are as serious as ever, they are always a bit boring.

This is normal. It is normal for young people to be educated in the playoffs.

In Jordan's first year in the playoffs, even though he played so well, he could not escape the fate of being eliminated. Kobe also had three embarrassing situations at critical moments...Growth is inherently accompanied by failure and regret.

Zuo Li was not prepared to say anything about this.

Chicken soup is useless if you drink it too much, and at this time, what he needs to do most is to stand up and fight back fiercely!

Fight back and let your teammates see your strength. This is more effective than any chicken soup.
