Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

In the jump ball, the left-wing God of War beat Bynum. Then, the Knicks played in and out in the first offense. The left-hand ball was lifted up from the top of the arc to make a pivot. Curry passed the ball hand-to-hand and broke through.

After Gasol defended, he played to Zuo Li. Zuo Li broke through with the ball and got rid of Bynum. Later, it was just a double attack, but a defense based on man-to-man marking and zone assist defense.

Take the Knicks' second offense as an example. Just when Zuo Li was about to sneak out to catch the ball for a single, on the Lakers' side, Gasol and Artest quickly double-teamed Zuo Li!

At the same time, Bynum locked Randolph and the right corner, and Kobe blocked the loophole on the other side, which was the left corner, and did not give the left wing a chance to pass to the corner, so Curry had to pull out.

To catch the ball.

This means that not only is it very difficult for Zuo Li to attack on his own, but it also means that Zuo Li cannot make a direct threatening pass, which also prevents Zuo Li from assisting!

Of course, there are loopholes in this defense. No matter how good Kobe is, he can't completely lock down the two Knicks. Curry picks up the ball and immediately distributes the ball to Battier. Battier gets an open three-point opportunity.

, but unfortunately it failed to hit.

However, in the next round, from almost the same angle, Battier made a three-pointer, giving the Knicks a 3-point lead.

But even if there is an opening, Lakers coach Jackson on the sidelines is very satisfied with the defense of the Lakers players.

Now the Zen Master no longer believes in the Jordan Law. After two or three years of continuous analysis of Zuo Li, the Zen Master now firmly believes that if he wants to defeat the Knicks, he must prevent Zuo Li from scoring at all costs!

Because this season, once Zuo Li scores more than 40 points, the Knicks win. Last season, when Zuo Li scored more than 40 points, the Knicks only lost one game!

This ability to lead the team to victory with scoring is comparable to that of Michael Jordan. How could Zen Master dare to let Zuo Li score casually? The 65 points in the finals tiebreaker are still fresh in my mind!

Besides, Zen Master doesn’t want to make a backdrop tonight!

Zuo Li, who was forced to double-team by Gasol and Artest, curled his lips. He knew very well the reason why the Lakers double-teamed him so decisively. Not to mention Battier who was left short, even Anthony would dare to do so.

put!

Because like the Nets, the Lakers obviously don't want to be a backdrop!

And unlike the Nets, the Lakers have the strength to build a steel barrel defense. Artest and Kobe's defensive ability and assisting defense ability can throw the Nets from Paris to New York. Coupled with the double-height inside and the ability to contain and protect the frame,

The Lakers' defense is not at the same level as the Nets.

So if the Nets' defense caused some trouble for Zuo Li yesterday, then today Zuo Li's troubles have basically tripled.

Of course, the outcome is hard to say, but Zuo Li's scoring record will be put to a great test.

And in the three minutes when Zuo Li encountered the iron barrel formation, Kobe began to exert his strength, shooting inside and outside, especially from behind, and made three of three shots. The Lakers gained a 6-point advantage in three minutes.

The Knicks requested a timeout.

After the timeout, Zuo Li still faced the same defensive pressure, but the German coach obviously adjusted his offense according to the Lakers' defense.

Zuo Li pulled out from the top of the arc to catch the ball. Bynum instantly stepped back, Gasol defended, Artest flanked, and Zuo Li handed Curry the ball, and Curry took the ball for a three-pointer!

Score in!

The Knicks continue to maintain a 4-point advantage.

"The Lakers still chose to resolutely double-team Zuo Li tonight. If they don't get the ball and move forward, then they must double-team. Obviously they don't want to give Zuo Li a chance, so it depends on the performance of other Knicks players." Yu Jia

Explained.

"Curry made a good shot. Now the rest of the Knicks must continue to add firepower. This also relieves Zuo Li from some defensive pressure." Director Zhang said.

Director Zhang is right, and D'Antoni means the same thing. Of course he doesn't want Zuo Li's record to end here, so he hopes to use the performance of others to attract the Lakers' defensive attention.

In addition to Curry, Randolph also fired inside. He passed the ball to the low-post Zuo Li without looking at anyone and passed the ball to the unguarded Randolph. The latter easily hit the board and scored two points.

But even so, the Lakers remained unmoved.

The Knicks attack, tonight the Lakers just don't want to give Zuo Li a chance to perform. Bynum spared no effort to get around and first made Zuo Li uncomfortable by catching the ball. After Curry lobbed the ball back to Zuo Li, Kobe Bryant

Immediately come over and cut the ball to surround Zuo Li!

Zuo Li didn't panic. Now that he knew the Lakers' defensive strategy, Zuo Li didn't mind leading his teammates, because Zuo Li understood that attacking hard at this time would only increase mistakes.

Curry cut to the basket, Zuo Li passed the ball with one hand, and Curry received the ball and scored. Curry has scored 7 points and has become the Knicks' main offensive point tonight.

Throughout the first quarter, Zuo Li did not get any decent opportunities. In this quarter, Zuo Li only scored 4 points, all of which came from free throws.

4 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds in a single quarter.

Hey guys, this is Rajon Rondo.

The various commentators also looked at each other. This kind of plot seemed familiar. Zuoli didn't start well in the last game. However, unlike the previous game, Zuoli's chances were significantly less this time.

Even ESPN took advantage of the break to launch a poll: When was the last time Zuoli scored a goal in a single quarter without a sports game?

Some friends may ask, this is unreasonable. If the Lakers are so good, why did they lose last year? Zuo Li's 65 points were not all water!

This is a good question. Then you will understand if you look at other data. Except for Zuo Li, everyone else in the Knicks scored well. Among them, Curry scored 12 points in a single quarter and made three three-pointers. Randolph scored 7 points.

Thiel scored 6 points and Belinelli scored 3 points.

As for the Lakers, the best performer was Kobe, who scored 14 points, and no one else scored more than 4 points.

The Knicks also led the Lakers by 8 points 33-25 and took the initiative on the scene.

So you can see why the Lakers didn't dare to defend Zuo Li so much in the finals. The Knicks don't have only one person who can score. If you invest so much force in Zuo Li, it will definitely lead to the lack of other players who should be able to score.

Some defense.

Barkley also said: "It seems that the Lakers, like the Nets, gave up victory to end Zuoli's record. It seems that everyone's resentment against Zuoli's record is higher than the temptation to win."

Smith also said helplessly: "After all, it's just a regular season game. If you lose, you lose. But if you end Zuo Li's record, you will make a lot of money."

At this time, the Zen master couldn't hear what the two brothers were saying, otherwise he would have smiled slightly and told them -

What does it mean to give up victory? Do you think my Zen master looks like the kind of coach who has no future?!

I want to end the record, and I also want to win the victory!

Win-win = we win twice!

As soon as the second quarter started, Jackson began to change formations. Kobe led the substitutes on the field, and Kobe immediately started his personal scoring mode, shooting inside and outside, and evened the 8-point difference in just 2 minutes.
