Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Yes, we lost, but I don't think we'll be back here again."

After Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, when being interviewed by reporters, Zuo Li said in the calmest tone: He said the cruelest words.

4-1!

Yes, this is Zuoli's goal.

In fact, Zuo Li already had a premonition of the result of G4, although he really wanted to sweep the promotion. Before this game, the Knicks had won an astonishing 11 consecutive victories in the playoffs, and were only one game away from catching up.

The records held by two legendary teams, the 01 Lakers and the 1996 Bulls, were to sweep the conference in three rounds and enter the finals.

Moreover, as long as they win one more game, the Knicks will also achieve a season sweep of the Heat. If they do it, it will be 8-0. For the Knicks, they will hold the Heat, the three most powerful Big Three in history, to the ground and rub them for the entire season.

Not only will it make the Knicks this season more legendary, it will also make the Heat a complete laughing stock.

Therefore, no matter which angle you look at it, there is no reason not to pursue a sweep.

However, it is a pity that the absence of Curry and Randolph, as well as the factors of the Heat's home court itself, make it very difficult for the Knicks to win this G4.

This is also true. In this game, the remaining Knicks players tried their best and ushered in a long-awaited outburst from the bench, but in the end it was still a little short.

Simple data, the Heat took 32 free throws in this game, 32-25, while the Knicks only took 18, 18-15. Calculated in terms of shooting percentage, if the Knicks can get a similar number of free throws, they may win the Eastern Conference Finals

It's completely over.

One of James and Wade made 11 free throws, and the other made 16 free throws. For comparison, Zuo Li in the paint only made 8 free throws in the entire game, which was only half of Wade's.

Data doesn’t lie. That’s all I have to say. Everyone understands it.

But Zuo Li didn't care. It would be great to be able to sweep, but he was not entangled. However, he would not let the Heat win the next game.

Zuo Li's words were resonant and reached the ears of the Heat players, directly cooling the Heat locker room.

The corners of Si Bo's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, such as "Zuo Li is farting", "Let's show them the victory", "Let them see the price of underestimating us" and so on.

But he couldn't tell...

It's not that he was convinced by Zuo Li, or that he was afraid, and Spoelstra knew the Heat's situation very well at this time.

He knows how the Heat win the ball, and Zuo Li is really too strong. In this game, they used double-attack interference, and with the referee's help, they barely allowed Zuo Li to only score 28 points and 14 rebounds. This is already the Heat's

It's the limit. In the next game, they will go to Madison Square Garden again. At that time, can they still restrain Zuo Li...

It was Wade who stood up and said: "To hell with Zuo Li, we can definitely fight!!!"

Wade is indeed the soul of the Heat. At this time, only he dares to stand up and say this, and no one will doubt Wade's sincerity. After all, Wade may have many black spots in his career, but he has nothing to do with the Heat.

The team has absolutely nothing to say. Whether it is playing through injuries, taking the initiative to cut salary, or helping the team recruit his brothers, Wade has done everything impeccable.

However, maybe because he was too loyal to the Heat, he was deceived by the other party as a fool.

I have already talked about what happened around 2010. In the past, everyone knows how the team changed from the top boss to the second boss. Let’s just talk about things that haven’t happened yet.

Historically, when the Heat were defeated by the Spurs in 2014, Wade chose to give up his $10 million contract in the offseason in order to preserve the team's Big Three lineup and let James get the maximum salary, but in the end James was not impressed and chose to directly

Joining the Cavaliers made all Wade's efforts in vain.

Later, Wade was troubled by injuries, which also gave Riley an opportunity to lower the price. After all, in Riley's heart, Wade was never worth the maximum salary, so in the face of a humiliating contract, Wade finally said no, so

In the end, he was abandoned directly by the Heat.

Then he wanted to find his former brother LeBron James. However, after coming to the Cavaliers, he averaged less than 10 points per game because he had no tactical position.

Then he was abandoned by the Cavaliers, so Wade began his wandering journey.

Zuo Li didn't see the rest, but it's not difficult to guess. After all, there are too many such things in the NBA. It's nothing more than retiring with regrets.

It can only be said that Wade's loyalty to the Heat and brotherly love for Lao James directly changed his career.

But it's a pity that Wade, who is now preparing to come back in Game 5, doesn't know all this, otherwise I don't know if he would have made such a choice.

And he didn't know that the silent Lao Zhan beside him was also experiencing fluctuations in his thoughts.

Although he regained a victory tonight, the past few days have probably been the most difficult days of James' career. Even when he announced that he would join the Heat last summer, James was criticized by the entire league. He has never been so uncomfortable.

Because when he came to the Heat, he came here to win the championship. It doesn't matter if he gets scolded for this, as long as he can win.

But now?

3-0, no team has ever achieved a 0-3 comeback in NBA history. He also asked himself, can he do it?

However, the answer I got was not very good.

At this moment, no one can fully understand James' inner feelings. After all, the other two people have not encountered as big a controversy as him.

Now, perhaps the only good news is that the Heat have not been eliminated yet. If the Heat can capture New York, then this series will return to Miami.

But... so what, even if it's 3-2, who can guarantee that they will defend the next home court.

And if they lose, the three most powerful giants in history will not even be able to enter the finals...

No need to ask, everyone knows what will happen.

So, James was shaken...

There is no way, this is James this season, his mentality is definitely the most unstable in all seasons of his career, otherwise the finals would not have been like this.

And this has also become a hidden danger before the start of G5.

Moreover, no one expected that this hidden danger would explode so quickly!

…

On May 26, G5 of the Eastern Conference Finals started at Madison Square Garden.

The New York fans were not at all sad that their opponents had just recovered a point. On the contrary, they didn't know how happy they were.

What?

Record? Sweep?

Oh ho ho, how could these be as happy as watching the team advance on the spot!

New York fans want their team to advance in front of them, this would be perfect for them.

As for the New York management, they are even happier. After all, although the Knicks are never short of money, who doesn't want to sell tickets for another game? This is real money income.

The alliance is also very happy. After all, although the sweep is fierce, it is not very beneficial to the alliance. One more game also makes Stern relieved.

But that’s it. Many people at the scene felt that it was time for the Eastern Conference Finals to end.

Except of course, the Heat.

Despite being behind 1-3 and playing on the road, the Heat were still high-spirited, with Wade bearing the brunt and vowing to take the team home.

But next door, Zuo Li and James gave a fatal blow when they greeted each other: "That's it for LeBron, the season is over."
