Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Hey, don't think you are safe." Amid cheers from the sky, Zuo Li returned to defense with a calm expression, and said something sincere while passing by Kleiza.

"You have time to talk big, why not look at the score difference!" Although Zuo Li thought it was true, Kleiza thought it was rubbish and had no lethality.

So what if it was a good dunk, it wasn’t just two points, but we were still ahead by 16 points!

16 points?

16 points is nothing!

In a few minutes, Kleiza would regret saying this, because Zuo Li's performance had just begun and not ended.

Raptors attack.

Tonight, the Raptors' best performer was not DeRozan, who was predicted before the game, but Kleiza, who had just been blocked by Zuo Li. It's surprising, right? The Knicks were guarding the paint inside the twin towers and they were able to score 15 points in the half.

point.

Oh, although he scored two points less than Zuo Li, his shooting percentage reached 60%, which is higher than Zuo Li. So sometimes the contribution of a player cannot be judged only by the score. At least from this half, Clay

Zabi Zuoli played well.

Therefore, after the pick-and-roll between Calderon and Kleiza, he still chose to hang it to Kleiza.

Kleiza faced Zuo Li, and this time he chose to attack from the frame.

The 203-centimeter Kleiza has sufficient strength to face the frame. At certain times, he can even be qualified to work as a small forward. He is also a very rare player in many people's opinion - neither three nor four.

Therefore, he can not only sit back and play, but also face the frame and attack with the ball, and he also has certain mid-to-long-range shooting ability. This is also the reason why Kleiza was selected into the NBA.

In the first half, he made full use of his characteristics. Not only was he sharp offensively, but he also used his flexibility and weight on the defensive end to mark Zuo Li, and achieved very good results.

However, Zuo Li will soon tell everyone with his powerful actions that neither three nor four looks great, but in fact there are many shortcomings. Zuo Li's poor performance in the first half was purely because of himself and his relationship with Kleiza

Not big.

Here, Kleiza, who got the ball, had just been blocked by Zuo Li, so he carefully used a fake move this time to test.

However, Zuo Li did not falter, and Kleiza was not flexible enough. He did a fake move, but it was the same as not doing it, so Baninani came up and made a inside pick-and-roll for Kleiza!

With the help of the cover, Kleiza successfully completed the breakthrough.

Baninani acted mischievously and stretched out his legs to block Zuo Li. The movement was very covert, evading the referee's eyes and slowing down Zuo Li's pursuit.

but……

"Too slow." Kleiza's breakthrough was too cumbersome. He could break through, but he had no speed. He relied entirely on his body to catch up. Zuo Li didn't even need to use all his strength to keep up. Being blocked didn't affect Zuo Li's pursuit.

Zuo Li even had time to turn his head and give Bage a look——

"Next, it's your turn!"

Kleiza rushed to the basket with confidence, and after feigning a pause, he passed Randolph, who was assisting in defense, with his second speed, and flew to hit the board.

"boom!"

The moment the basketball hit the backboard, Zuo stood up and flew out from behind to complete the block.

The ball was blocked perfectly. After Zuo Li landed, he even grabbed the basketball with one hand. Dr. J feinted, and the angry and tense Kleiza took off directly on the spot.

"Pfft hahahaha~"

The fans burst out laughing, and it was so funny to be thrown around.

Kleiza felt aggrieved when he landed. He didn't want to fly, but flying would be more reasonable!

But I really don’t blame Kleiza. Generally, the first time a center gets a rebound is to pass the ball. Who has Zuo Li’s dribbling skills and speed to dribble the ball through half the court!

As a result, Zuo Li did not choose to take it by himself this time. After shaking Kleiza away, he gave it to Dragic next door, and then slowly ran past Kleiza.

Kleiza: "..."

Damn it, you are targeting me, right?

Kleiza ran a few steps, secretly thinking that Zuo Li would not be able to score easily again!

However, just after half-time, Dragic passed a pass back, Zuoli kicked off the accelerator and directly threw Kleiza away. After receiving the ball, he went straight inside and smashed it with both hands again!

"A beautiful pass, Dragic accurately found Zuo Li who was about to leave. For Zuo Li, the inside line at this time was a little sweetheart for him to ravage." Barkley joked.

"As for Kleiza... you are too slow, man, you have to keep up with the rhythm, otherwise you will be beaten by Zuoli." Buckley continued.

Calderon couldn't stand the point difference being narrowed step by step. They hadn't scored for a while, which made them a little anxious, but Calderon confidently broke through and hit the basket.

Zuo Li protected the rebound.

Danny Green came down quickly, Zuo Li threw it casually and passed the ball directly.

Danny Green dribbles into the frontcourt at high speed.

Johnson kept chasing, but Danny Green didn't force himself. He always remembered D'Antoni's teachings, which is to look for Zuo Li after halftime!

When Zuo Li came outside the three-point line, he broke through to the inside and Danny Green, one step away from the basket, suddenly made an emergency stop.

Look back and pay!

Danny Green passed to Zuo Li!

"Fuck!" Calderon, who was following behind, dodged to avoid colliding with each other.

"This is also... a pass???" The commentators were shocked, why didn't they even throw the ball?

"boom!"

Kleiza was not so lucky, he bumped straight into Zuo Li.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle and holds up three fingers.

Kleiza fouled someone, but Zuo Li threw the ball and made a three-pointer when he was about to lose his balance!!

The fans at the scene covered their mouths in surprise.

"Whoosh!"

A three-pointer was scored and there were extra penalties.

The referee's three fingers were chopped off!

"31! OMG~! Zuo Li scored a key point!" Barkley worshiped, what kind of magic ball is this!

And the person who just complained about Danny Green's pass was speechless. This kind of ball was passed well!

The conversation at the scene was completely revived. After three points, the Knicks were only 13 points behind. The Knicks were catching up and the game was not over yet!

And Kleiza was numb, because he found that he had been completely screwed...

brush!

With 12 points, the Knicks went on an 8-0 run!

The Raptors called a timeout, but everyone discovered that the momentum of the game had completely shifted to the Knicks.

After the timeout, the Raptors finally broke the scoring panic with free throws, but the unstoppable Zuo Li was completely unstoppable.

Breakthroughs, singles, three-pointers, fadeaways... Zuo Li looked like Kobe Bryant that night, slaying the dragon was in progress!

At the end of the third quarter, Madison Square Garden erupted.

Barkley stood up and roared: "29 points! 29 points! Zuo Li scored 29 points in this quarter! 46 points in three quarters, the Knicks are about to come back!"

"He even scored 8 more points than the entire Raptors team in one quarter... What an incredible performance! The Knicks led by 1 point instead, recovering a 20-point deficit in a single quarter. Is this the strength of the defending champion!" Kenny

Smith shook his head repeatedly. Is the explosive Zuo Li really so invincible?

"With 12 minutes left, will the Knicks end the suspense tonight? 70 wins seems not far away!"
