Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Li, who easily hit the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, shouted to Rose. At this time, no one, including Rose, understood what Zuo Li really meant.

Rose just felt that Zuo Li was showing off, because during lunch, Zuo Li once said that he had practiced the average mid-range since he was a child. Although he didn't use it much, it was already one of his regular weapons.

.

At that time, Rose remembers that he still expressed disbelief. After all, the left-right shot was really very short, even less than a three-pointer. After all, he was too unsolvable in the low post, and he was invincible with the ball. Plus he had a three-pointer.

Rose doesn't think there is any need for mid-range or anything like that.

Anyway, scoring is all about scoring. The important thing is that the basketball is thrown into the box. How it is thrown in is not important.

Rose's idea really didn't go beyond Zuo Li's expectations. To a certain extent, it couldn't be wrong. It's not impossible to succeed everywhere with one move.

However, a richer range of scoring methods means that it is harder to target, and it also means that you are more comfortable on the court and can choose the most appropriate and efficient scoring method according to various situations.

If you specialize in a certain skill, when your opponent finds a suitable way to restrict you, your threat on the court will be greatly reduced. Why did the Bulls, the league's number one in history, fall at the feet of the Heat? It's because they found a way to restrain Rose.

The way to break through, a Rose who cannot break through is like a rose that has lost its fragrance and can no longer wave.

That season, he took 5.8 shots at the basket, accounting for 29% of his total shots. What's even more amazing is that his shooting percentage at the basket reached 61.1%. You must know that this shooting percentage is higher than that of many excellent inside players in the league.

It cannot reach such heights.

It is enough to show how big a threat Rose is from breaking through. On the other hand, being good at confrontation also allows Rose to average nearly 7 free throws per game, which also makes other point guards often fall into a passive state when facing him.

.

But these were all scrapped by the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

At that time, from the two defenders Chalmers and Cole to Wade, Battier and James, Spoelstra had all used it. However, the danger of defending Rose one-on-one was very high, so the Heat adopted

The defense is more layered.

They often try to block the left and right sides when defending alone to prevent Rose from breaking through from the bottom line. If Rose breaks through from the center, the Heat's center and power forward can form a barrier on the inside.

One of them first blocks Rose's breakthrough route to delay it for a while, and then the other jumps up to block the shot. This three-layer defense is quite effective.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Rose scored 28 points and 6 assists, with a shooting percentage of nearly 50%. He led the team to a good start. It seemed that the Heat could not put pressure on him.

But in the next three games, Rose averaged only 21.3 points per game and shot over 40% from the field in only one game.

In the fifth crucial game, Rose even shot 8 of 27 from the field, with a shooting percentage of 29.6%, which was also his lowest single-game shooting percentage in the series.

He made only 1 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line. Although he scored 23 points on free throws, in the end he still misfired in the final quarter and overtime, watching helplessly as the Heat took away the match point and ultimately lost to the Eastern Conference.

Decide.

Ross doesn't understand now, but it doesn't matter. Zuo Li will show him the power of the offensive kaleidoscope!

Oh, I forgot, by the way, let Rose experience what multi-level and three-dimensional defense is in advance.

The Bulls organize the offense. There are no essential changes in the Bulls' offensive tactics this season. Thibodeau, everyone knows it.

Rose holds the ball, and Boozer comes up for the pick-and-roll. This is the biggest impact of introducing Boozer.

However, Rose on the court had no intention of passing the ball. Zuo Li had already made a move, and of course he had to respond!

After the pick-and-roll, Rose's thunderous speed helped him tear apart Curry's defense in an instant.

It's really overkill. Now Rose and Curry really don't need the pick-and-roll, but he may actually just want to use the left winger who is defending Boozer.

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his center of gravity and went straight to the basket without slowing down at all. He flew into the air, avoided Randolph's block, and folded back for a dunk. This was Derrick Rose at his peak.

2 to 2!

"Awesome." Zuo Lidu had to applaud Rose. The ball really exploded. As long as you are a fan, it is difficult not to like this style of play.

Zuo Li's response was still a simple shot.

At the top of the arc, Zuo Li holds the ball, Curry gets around it, Zuo Li suddenly dribbles the ball, and Boozer takes three steps back.

There was no way, he was afraid. With his knees, if Zuo Li tried to make a breakthrough, he would probably be hospitalized, so he chose to keep some distance.

That's enough.

I saw Zuo Li pretending to break through, holding the basketball, taking a step back, and shooting a jump shot. The basketball easily fell into the bag, and Zuo Li scored two more points.

"Put it up." Thibodeau clapped his hands at Boozer. He put it a little too big, and the left-hand feel was a bit high. If he put it any further, there might be a problem.

Boozer listened, and then his knees began to hurt.

The moment he stepped forward, Zuoli made a flick of the ball and pulled it back. Boozer couldn't keep up.

Sam Gold.

Boozer was left behind by Zuo Li, and Noah hurriedly stepped forward, but Zuo Li did not choose to dunk hard, but chose a light floater and hit again.

6-4.

"Zuo Li played very easily tonight. There was no physical contact, just simple shooting. The touch was really good. Apart from Yao, only Zuo Li has such a soft touch..." Director Zhang applauded and praised.

"That's right, everyone thought Zuo Li was going to play hard, but who knew that suddenly he changed his shot and still scored. You think it's irritating or not," Yu Jia said.

Boozer: "What do you think?!"

So infuriating!

He was originally prepared to stand up left and come back to rush forward, and he was ready inside. However, he couldn't stand up left, so he shot once he dribbled the ball. He stopped dunking when he broke through. He just threw up and shot, and he didn't know how to commit fouls.

Don't get mad at this!

Poor Boozer, Zuo Li took 6 shots in his face for the first time and made 4 of them. In addition, he made 4 breakthrough shots and made two floaters. Zuo Li scored 12 points in one quarter.

And this is what Zuo Li wants to say, why Boozer doesn't dare to let Zuo Li break through, because his breakthrough is strong enough, and now, why can Zuo Li solve the problem in this way? Is it because the Bulls are afraid of Zuo Li's breakthrough and low position?

.

Between the virtual and the real, only Zuo Li can fight so easily and freely.

If it were anyone else, Boozer would have been close to him, but facing Zuo Li, he didn't dare. Who knows if Zuo Li would suddenly start to attack the inside? He didn't dare to gamble on this probability.

This is something only Offensive Kaleidoscope dares to do.

However, Bulls fans are not in a hurry, because Rose also scored 12 points with his explosive breakthrough in this quarter. Curry was unexpectedly beaten, and Randolph was also fouled.

Although the Knicks relied on the outside to lead 30-28, being behind by 2 points was nothing. They were still full of confidence in the next game.

But in the second quarter, Rose's trial has just begun.
