Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"WHY! Why! Is it time to call a timeout now?!" - Yang Yi.

"OMG~! Don't stop me, I'm going to pour cold water on that guy to wake him up!" - Barkley.

"Carlisle... I can only say that this guy is really eclectic. Maybe he sees some problems that we don't see? OK! Well, I really don't know. The core of the team has a good hand and is tied at the beginning.

There is no need to waste a timeout when the game has started less than three minutes." --A Smith.

"Carlisle, you studied with Popovich, right?"--Fans.

...

The most perfect script, Zuo Li and Dirk, these two superstars started to go at each other in the first minute of the first game of the finals. It was very lively when you came and went. The fans were watching with excitement. Carlisle gave the scene a timeout.

There was silence, and soon everyone began to "greet" Carlisle one after another.

There is a saying MMP in the fans' minds that they don't know whether to say or not, but Carlisle is very clear-headed in his heart. Some Mavericks fans speculated that he was trying to block Zuo Li's scoring momentum. However, in fact, Carlisle has long been aware of Zuo Li's state.

Preparation, on the contrary, he was actually mainly for Nowitzki.

"Dirk, I have to remind you, although you have a good touch, you need to let the ball flow, and your teammates also want to contribute to the team." Carlisle said to Dirk.

If this sentence spreads on the Internet, it will definitely be violently attacked by fans!

There is no way in the world that a player can score 7 points in a row while helping the team to hold on to the score but still has to be punished!

But Carlisle has his own reasons, because in his mind, Dirk and Zuo Li are completely different. Dirk is already 33 years old and is one round older than Zuo Li, although the outside world generally believes that this year is the year for Norvis.

The real peak of Ji's career, but compared with five years ago, the gap in physical fitness alone is very large.

Along the way, if the Mavericks' role players hadn't been more powerful one by one, they would never be where they are today. Therefore, it is not feasible for the Mavericks to rely on Nowitzki's crazy singles. Now that the game has just started and they are full of energy, they still can't watch.

Come out, if in the last quarter, Dirk's gas tank is out of gas, but his teammates are also feeling useless because they didn't play much in the front, then the only way to meet the Mavericks is to lose.

The Knicks are different than Zuo Li!

Although Zuo Li did not score high in the first round of the playoffs and his statistics were much lower than in the regular season, these are all illusions. The Knicks are essentially a team built on Zuo Li, both on offense and defense.

From the next two rounds against strong teams like the Celtics and Miami Heat, we can see that at critical moments, you have to stand up from the left.

The Knicks have always been accustomed to Zuo Li's style of play dominating both offense and defense. At the same time, Zuo Li is indeed capable of playing from start to finish and can maintain a very high efficiency value.

Over the years, apart from Zuo Li, there have been two 60-pointers in the playoffs, but Zuo Li scored 3 times in the last playoffs alone, including the last game of the finals, and he played for three seasons in his career.

In the playoffs, Zuo Li has scored 60 points five times, and even more 40 points. Such scoring ability is rare in the world. The outside world now generally believes that as long as the opportunity is right, Zuo Li has a chance to catch up with Kobe and even Chamberlain.

Highest score in the game.

So it's no problem for the Knicks to play like this with Zuo Li in the beginning. Anyway, Zuo Li can still come in the end, and the physical problem does not exist at all, but the Mavericks can't. Carlisle knew before the game that in order to win, the Mavericks must have everyone.

All soldiers.

Dirk also expressed his understanding. He was indeed a little over the top just now, and after the timeout, Dirk really began to use his restraint to help his teammates. Kidd would not only consider Dirk's position on the offensive end, but the Mavericks also responded

I have reached the point of playing the way I won in the previous rounds.

Zuo Li came back with a strong one-on-two in the first round, using a backdoor tactic to directly receive a pass from Curry in the air with a double pick-and-roll, and then completed an explosive alley-oop dunk over the head of Chandler who was unprepared.

This goal completely ignited the atmosphere in the audience, and the camera was pointed directly at Dirk, wanting to see how he would respond.

But although Dirk got the ball and attracted the Knicks' attack, he did not shoot by himself. Instead, he raised his hand to send a precise assist. Chandler ran back to catch the ball and dunked hard with both hands!

"What a good shot! Chandler, this can be regarded as saving face for yourself." Director Zhang applauded. Dirk handled the ball very smartly. Obviously the Knicks also thought that he would play in singles, so Zuo Li let it go.

Chandler came to attack from a flank, but was tricked by Dirk instead.

"It's okay, keep going." D'Antoni clapped his hands, indicating that Zuo Li could continue at his own pace.

Zuo Li nodded, and then made a jump shot. The ultra-high release point made Marion sigh when looking at the ball, and the precise hollow moment made people forget that Zuo Li was an orthodox center. This was Zuo Li's first game in this playoffs.

Playing with such an outside approach.

After scoring 11 points in a row, Zuo Li's scoring wave is not over yet.

However, the Mavericks responded again. Marion caught the ball from the wing and hit a mid-range shot, and the two sides were still tied.

In fact, after these two rounds, the Knicks already knew that the Mavericks would not let Dirk and Zuo Li compete.

"Oh, I'm not fooled." Zuo Li shook his head and secretly thought that it was not that simple. No one who can enter the finals is a fool. He did have the idea of ​​​​bringing Dirk into his rhythm. After all, for this year's

For the Mavericks, it is definitely better to let Dirk perform alone than to let them all go crazy together.

But if you don't want to be fooled, then you won't be fooled. The Knicks immediately returned to their normal rhythm. After all, the other players and the strength of the bench, Zuo Li believed that the Knicks could not lose. This was better than Randolph immediately responded with a strong attack under the basket, squeezing Novi away.

Ski scored a goal.

However, what is terrifying about the Mavericks role players this year is not just their strength, but their terrifying shooting percentage!

Whether they were playing the Thunder or the Lakers before, the Mavericks had maintained a field goal percentage of over 50% for a long time, and the overall free throw percentage reached over 78%. These two figures are undoubtedly amazing. After all, the playoffs have continued to improve.

At a higher level, this will inevitably lead to a drop in shooting percentage. Except for some superstars who can swim against the trend, 99% of people's statistics have declined compared with the regular season. Otherwise, the playoffs are a place to test the quality of superstars.

.

But this year, all the important players in the Mavericks team basically counterattacked. Historically, Terry played harder than James in the finals, averaging 18 points in six games. You must know that James only scored 17.8 points, and Barea

In G5 and G6, they went crazy. They made 6 of 11 in one game and 7 of 12 in the other. Their three-point shooting percentage reached 54%. It was too normal that the Heat could not win.

So in this game, the Mavericks' terrifying shooting percentage began to show up in the middle of the first quarter. It wasn't until the 6th minute that Peja, who came off the bench, missed a three-pointer and missed the Mavericks' first shot of the night.
