Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"The current tactics of the Lakers are more ruthless than the Celtics. Every time they take a shot, it's a foul, and Zuo Li stands on the free throw line again!" Barkley complained.

Mbenga, who was substituted, was also squinted by the Zen master. The assistant coach even came to tell him specifically: "Didn't I tell you, just let him shoot from outside the free throw line. There is no need for fouls, otherwise the fouls will not be enough. What's wrong with you!"

"

It turns out that the Lakers' tactics are not to cause fouls whenever Zuoli takes a shot. Fouls on three-pointers and long-range shots are unnecessary in their opinion. After all, Zuoli's number of shots and hits are only average. There is a big delay in getting to the line, and it is difficult to get the ball inside.

A double attack, a breakthrough layup, or a dunk is a foul. Be more ruthless and ignore the rest.

Even if it really doesn't matter how he shoots, the Lakers will admit it. In short, they just can't let Zuo Li open up completely in the paint.

Therefore, the Lakers coaching staff was dissatisfied with this foul, especially when Zuo Li made two free throws.

Mbenga couldn't argue. He wanted to say that he didn't intend to commit a foul at all and that Zuo Li came for his hand.

But after thinking about it, who would believe this stuff?

Gasol: I believe it!

In the next round, the Knicks played excellent defense. Kobe was double-teamed the moment he held the ball. Kobe bypassed the double defense and forced a breakthrough. Zuo Li directly assisted in defense. Kobe made a strong shot and Zuo Li rebounded 1.

This is also the inspiration that the Celtics' defense gave the Knicks. A direct three-layer defense gave them a strong sense of oppression.

This successful defense also gave the Knicks a chance to chase points. The Knicks had a chance to narrow the point difference to 6 points.

And it was still Zuo Li who had high hopes from the fans. This time he picked and rolled at the top of the arc to avoid double teams, and came to the top of the arc to face Gasol.

Dajia stretched out his long arms and turned sideways to prevent his left and right hands. On the left, Artest was already ready to help defend.

However, Zuo Li was still dribbling with a low center of gravity, and then suddenly accelerated and started. Gasol was startled and subconsciously took action...

"Beep beep beep! The thug fouled! Two free throws!" The referee made the same gesture as in the previous round.

Gasol: "..."

No, what the hell? Isn’t this touching?! He took the initiative to find my hand, and I don’t even know how he got it in!

However, just like Mbenga's treatment, no one believed it, because the slow motion made it clear that Gasol pressed hard between Zuoli's arms, and his expression was very cruel!

Zen Master: “Tsk, this doesn’t mean you have the ability to understand.”

Kobe: "Brother, you need to calm down and focus."

Gasol: "No, listen to me. I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't intend to foul him. He took three slow steps just to get into trouble! You must believe me..."

Mbenga: "Stop talking brother, I understand you!"

"The Lakers are still ruthless!" The fans said that this seemed to be a death order, and they would stop Zuo Li from taking action at all costs.

This is too cruel!

Of course, some people said they couldn't understand. For example, Bird questioned the meaning of such a foul: "What's the point of giving him a free throw foul for every ball? Isn't this a loss of life? And it's completely unnecessary for you to commit such a foul."

...This is not a critical moment. Bynum has already committed too many fouls, Mbenga has committed four, and Gasol has committed the second one. Who will defend the left winger in the fourth quarter?"

well said!

The Lakers don’t know either!

But they knew they needed to make a substitution... so Odom, the last of the three highs, faced the left winger for the first time in this game.

To be honest, Odom's defense is not bad, but his attitude is bad. When he wants to defend seriously, he is still very difficult to deal with.

But Zuo Li doesn't care, no matter who you are, I'm here to cause fouls!

Dribbling, breakthrough, emergency stop, start again...

Odom's hand unconsciously rested on Zuo Li's waist. Zuo Li stopped, his pivot foot did not move, he turned around, then turned around again, shaking!

Ten thousand fake moves.

Odom was shaken up. Zuo Li took advantage of the trend and made a strong shot. The referee blew the whistle. The ball was so powerful that it hit the backboard, rebounded, and hit the basket directly!

"21! Beautiful! Zuo Li! Key ball! Fouling him for three consecutive rounds was useless, another excellent choice! Zuo Li had the opportunity to narrow the point difference to 3 points! Great!" Yu Jia applauded vigorously, this

The ball is relieved.

However, Odom's shot was not unfair, after all, he was knocked away.

However, in the next round, Odom also joined the ranks of the resentful brothers who were played by Zuo Li.

The Lakers' offense finally got going. Artest received a pass from Kobe and made a discus-style throw.

It was obvious that Kobe was relieved. After all, since Artest's knee was not good, every breakthrough seemed to be extreme, always jumping between losing the ball and not losing the ball.

However, the score difference returned to 5 points, and the pressure on the Lakers decreased. Then, Odom was shown off by Zuo Li.

Low position.

Odom is most afraid of defending the left wing position. Apart from double-teaming, Odom can't think of any way to prevent him from scoring.

But before Odom could call his teammates, he stood left and turned left - fake! Turned right - also fake!

What is true?

Take a big step directly, fake a shot, lean on Odom, take a step, wave the basketball in your hand, and do a slow European step!

Odom: "???"

No, when did my hand get caught in the middle by Zuoli!?

"Fuck!" Odom even wanted to pull out, but failed...

"Beep beep beep!"

Zuo Li made another foul!

"no!!!"

"I'm not, I didn't, don't brag!" Odom chased the referee and denied it three times in a row. He received a warning from the referee and then went back in despair.

Gasol, Mbenga: "Welcome to join us."

At this time, the fans also got a taste of it. Zuo Li was obviously going to draw a foul!

This is really... so smart!

Future Harden: "???"

No, is it a double standard? To me, he is a porcelain master, ruining the game. How come he is the smart choice!?

Just because he is handsome!?

This isn't fair!

Ahem! Harden, go trim your beard when you have time, and then you will know what it means to be ugly.

But the fans are really excited not because of Zuo Lishuai, which is too superficial... but because Zuo Li is really smart in his game!

The Lakers just wanted to use dirty moves to restrict Zuo Li. Why couldn't Zuo Li just use his tricks? Moreover, he deliberately slowed down in front of the referee to make the foul extremely clear and the referee would not call it? Then wait to be complained!

Once again, Zuo Li made two free throws. Zuo Li had already made 15 free throws and made 13 of them, bringing his personal score to 17 points.

The Knicks also narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

This was also the score the Lakers led after halftime.

But despite the fact that the Lakers are still leading, Jackson's expression is not particularly good, because in the first half, the Lakers committed too many fouls.

Zuo Li suddenly started committing fouls in a scale that Zen Master did not expect. But now, in the half, Mbenga committed 4 fouls, Gasol, Bynum, and Artest all committed 3 fouls, and Odom committed 2 fouls. The number of fouls is

Twice the Knicks.

Especially inside, many Lakers fans are worried that if they keep fighting, the Lakers will have no one inside!

And this is Zuo Li's ultimate goal!
