Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"No ball..."

When Zuo Li told him his plan, D'Antoni fell silent, considering the possibility of this tactic in his mind.

Centers can be divided into three types offensively:

The first one is the ball-holding offensive type. This type of player has comprehensive skills and strong singles ability. As long as he goes to the low post, he is very efficient. As long as the situation is passive, teammates will choose to hand the ball to him, such as this year's rookie test.

Sins is this type.

The second type is offensive without the ball. This type of player is physically strong. After receiving the ball in the low post, he can use his excellent physical fitness to squeeze away the opponent and score the ball. Representatives include Howard, Chandler and other pie-eating centers.

The third type, which is also relatively rare in this era, is the support type. They can connect teammates like point guards, but in the inside. Through support, they can activate their teammates and create better shooting space for themselves, which represents

The character is Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr. stands at the free throw line and his vision is very good. He can pass to Ibaka inside and to the three-point shooter on the outside. Compared with his older brother, although there are some differences

Inferior, but still very good at the center position.

Most centers in the league can be classified into these three types.

Among these three major types, there is another subtype, that is, among the off-ball offensive centers, in addition to eating cakes in the paint, there is also a type that catches and shoots outside the penalty area. They generally have strong shooting ability.

Like Oku!

However, in this era, centers like Okur are not popular. Every team prefers the first and third types of centers. The second type is also good, but generally needs to be paired with an excellent point guard to exert its power.

, such as Stoudemire who met Nash, Martin who met Kidd, and Chandler who met Paul.

Although the traditional center is withering now, he is still the protagonist of the league, and he and the future center are two different concepts.

And D'Antoni also knows that Zuo Li is completely different from any center that has ever appeared before. His characteristics are more like a combination of one, two, three, and three types of centers. He also has characteristics that most centers do not have, and whether they are

In every feature, Zuoli is top-notch.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zuo Li caused a storm in the alliance.

But one thing is that Zuo Li rarely played without the ball before. Even without the ball, it was in the penalty area. It was very rare for Zuo Li to catch the ball and throw it at him.

So at this critical moment, even D'Antoni knows that Zuo Li's proposal is the best and most appropriate way. With the intensity of defense Zuo Li is currently facing and the Lakers' determination to lock Zuo Li, in addition to catching the ball and shooting,

It's hard to fight any other way.

but……

The German coach is not worried about losing, he is worried that Zuo Li is not good at this kind of attack. If he scores, it will be fine. If he fails to score continuously, it will not only affect Zuo Li's invincible image in the eyes of the outside world, but also cause other goals to be missed.

The team imitates.

By that time, the Knicks' tactics will inevitably be affected, and it may even affect the Knicks' journey to the playoffs this season.

One hair move affects the whole body.

Zuo Li naturally knew D'Antoni's concerns. In fact, he also understood the risks involved, but he had to do this today. In addition to not wanting to give away the record that was close at hand so easily in front of the Lakers and Kobe, he also had to show

Show that he has the ability to break through such a dense area defense!

So Zuo Li said: "Don't worry, coach, I'm sure I can do it. We can play a few times first. If it doesn't work, then give up."

Zuo Li's goal was not without purpose. No one understands the importance of shooting to Zhongfeng better than him.

The new era in a few years is no longer the era of traditional centers. The concept of center has become blurry and cannot be further blurred.

In that small-ball lineup that emphasizes movement without the ball and widening the space for three-point shooting, countless players like Dream Green are promoted to the center position, and countless tall centers are pulled to the outside for "education"

"No matter how excellent many centers' back-to-the-basket skills are, he will still look out of place in the team's small ball lineup. This is why Howard was marginalized and Hibbert simply did not play the ball.

Although Zuo Li is not worried about not having the ball to play, and is confident that he can stand in the future basketball world with his current ability, he will never relax his demands on himself, and a center with shooting is the most incompetent in any era.

The existence of solution.

In addition to basic shooting, Zuo Li has also been committed to developing his other shooting abilities, such as catching the ball and shooting.

Curry has been his partner and partner in training. Zuo Li has also used it sporadically in previous games, but it was not very conspicuous and not many times.

After all, this method is not as efficient as Zuo Li's other methods of scoring, so Zuo Li usually doesn't use it. I didn't expect that the Lakers would force him out today!

"Okay, if that's the case, let's give it a try!" Since Zuo Li said so, D'Antoni naturally agreed. He still believed in Zuo Li's strength.

Curry and Dragic were substituted on the court at the same time after the timeout. Jackson smiled slightly when he saw it. He thought this was the Knicks' last ditch effort.

"Stop Zuo Li, don't worry about the two defenders breaking through, just don't let them pass to Zuo Li." The Zen master pulled Kobe and said.

Kobe nodded and defended Curry or Dragic. Kobe had absolute confidence.

However, in the first round, the Knicks' offensive method shocked Kobe, because Zuo Li asked Randolph to pick and roll near the baseline, pull him out and exchange hands with Curry. Before the double team was in place, Zuo Li

Take a three-pointer directly!

brush!

Score in!

"Wow, Zuo Li's three-pointers have now scored 14 points." Yu Jia praised: "Although Zuo Li doesn't take many three-pointers, he is still very stable. He is worthy of being the first center three-pointer in history.

"

"Hey! The Lakers are pressuring Zuo Li. Normally Zuo Li wouldn't fight like this...It's still unreasonable to fight like this, but now, you come up without double-teaming. So it's reasonable to fight like this."

Ye Qingjie!

Director Zhang actually felt that Zuo Li’s fight was reasonable!

But what is reasonable is reasonable. No one thinks that Zuo Li will play like this. After all, no defender can guarantee that every player can score with such a ball.

"Go, lock him on the left." Kobe said to Gasol. He didn't take the ball seriously, and he didn't think Zuo Li could score the second one, so he still asked his teammates to lock Zuo Li's breakthrough route.

However, in the second round, Zuo Li threw another three-pointer from the exact same position, directly reducing the difference to 4 points!

"No way..." Kobe was speechless. This guy must be so lucky. He can score two games in a row.

However, the Lakers remained indifferent, Zuo Li missed the third shot as they expected, and the point difference returned to 6 points.

But just when the Lakers breathed a sigh of relief and decided to continue their defense, Zuo Li made a comeback!

This time, after receiving the ball in the low post after the pick-and-roll, Gasol walked up quickly, preparing to flank Zuo Li to prevent him from turning forward!

However, Zuo Li took a tentative step and turned around to catch the ball and shoot a fadeaway jumper!

Although the movements are a bit unfamiliar and the backward range is not large enough, even in Kobe's eyes, this thing is very ordinary, but...

It's in!

"what!!!"
