Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

112-100!

After 48 minutes of fierce battle, the Knicks still held on to their first home game of the Finals.

1-0, the Knicks got the first advantage as they wished.

"Let's congratulate the New York Knicks!"

In the commentary box, Yu Jia, Director Zhang and commentators from different countries all stood up and applauded.

If they still couldn't understand it during the halftime break, they had come to understand it after watching the whole game.

The reason why the Mavericks lost this game was because the team's shooting percentage suddenly dropped in the third quarter, especially the two generals that the team relied on very much - Terry and Marion.

Terry made 7 goals in 17 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 18 points. It feels like the 41.1% shooting rate is acceptable. After all, 95% of Terry's points came from COSCO

Shooting, such a shooting percentage cannot be considered bad.

But you must know that 5 of the 7 goals he scored came in the first half, including the three-pointer. His data in the first and second halves are completely different.

The same situation as him is Marion, the Mavericks' third scoring point. The Hacker made 6 of 14 shots tonight, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points and 6 rebounds. His main score was the same.

From the first half, the shooting percentage dropped by more than half in the second half.

The performance of the two of them is also the epitome of the Mavericks' role players in this game. Of course, Peja, who made 2 of 7 three-pointers, is not included. He is really tough.

This also put Dirk's efforts in vain. He played 45 minutes and made 15 of 22 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 15 of 18 free throws. He scored 48 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists.

His score in the end was even better than Zuo Li, who scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, but the main reason may be that Zuo Li was replaced 5 minutes early.

Others in the Knicks also performed well, Curry with 15 points, Randolph with 16 points, and David Lee with 10 points.

But this is only the reason that everyone can see on the surface, so immediately after the game, everyone shouted: "Dirk did his best, teammate CBA."

But the deeper reason is why the Mavericks, who are feeling so good, suddenly lost power.

Although I didn't want to admit my short-sightedness, after the game, many people in the industry had to attribute the reason to the extremely unreliable continuous fouls in the first half.

Because from that time on, the Mavericks' offense became incoherent. Dirk began to use free throws to score more points. Others began to have no chance to take action for a long time. When the Mavericks came back in the second half, the Mavericks lost power.

"As much as I hate to admit it, maybe we made a mistake..." Kenny Smith said after the game.

"Indeed." Barkley rarely agreed: "But this is not our fault. The main reason is that no one could have imagined that the Knicks could be so courageous!"

"The Knicks are really brave enough. People who don't know it think I'm on the opposite side." O'Neal said humorously.

"Uh huh huh!"

Barkley and Smith agree.

O'Neal is hurt...

But there is no way. Everyone knows that foul tactics are directed at the opponent who is least accurate in free throws. No one would have thought that they would be directed at the most accurate person!

This thing is definitely a cult in basketball textbooks and will be burned.

But the Knicks did just that, and they succeeded!

It’s so outrageous!

This makes them feel that all their years of playing have been in vain.

This is so unreasonable!

At this moment, everyone is Zhang Weiping.

But whether they think about it or not, admit it or not, accept it or not, the fact is the fact.

After the game, Mavericks head coach Carlisle said: "This game proved that I still have a lot to learn. They are obviously better than us in tactical reserves and on-the-spot response. We fell into their weave from the beginning.

Trap, it’s sad to lose, but it’s true that our skills are inferior to others.”

Ewing Jr., who was responsible for the foul in this game, said in an interview: "At the end of the first half, you all told me to get out, but I know that when the game is over, you will worship me."

A circle of reporters felt very embarrassed. They wanted to say that you are a water dispenser, but...the cruel reality made them swallow their anger and say a few nice words about "you are so awesome".

There was no way, let him pretend.

At the same time, fans on the Internet who were just filled with outrage also started a trend of apologizing to D'Antoni.

"I don't blame the coach, it's just that I can't understand it."

"As I said, the German coach is a master tactician. Just let me know in advance next time I use it."

"Bah! Who are you to dare to make such a request? You can't be the undercover agent next door!"

"I'm a pure green passerby, and I just like tactics!"

…

Of course, ESPN would not miss this kind of popularity. In the evening, they also carefully analyzed the Knicks' foul tactics in the program. After analysis, fans finally understood how bold the Knicks' tactics were.

Since then, the odds of the Knicks winning the championship have been rising. Many people feel that the Knicks are stable this time. After all, there are still new things to come up with after reaching the finals, which proves the Knicks' deep strength.

Moreover, many people feel that this tactic has almost no solution. If the Mavericks cannot solve it, they will probably lose.

However, Zuo Li was not blindly optimistic because he knew exactly what this tactic was about.

The Knicks' success is inseparable from his foresight. He knows exactly how to deal with the Mavericks. This tactic can be said to be tailor-made for the Mavericks.

Of course, Zuo Li never expected to achieve such good results. His original intention was to try to prevent the Mavericks from opening up and constantly cut off the Mavericks' rhythm, and then the Knicks would fight them decisively.

I just didn't expect that the Mavericks, who have always been stable, would make careless mistakes. They really thought that the Knicks were nothing more than that, and then relaxed!

This was completely unexpected, and Zuo Li never thought that the Mavericks would collapse so completely.

Therefore, regarding the excessive myths about the tactics of this game from the outside world, Zuo Li can only say that you are too naive. There is no invincible tactic in this world. Every tactic may not be able to be used at every moment in every game.

success.

In the next game, the Mavericks players will definitely be vigilant, and they will definitely not pop the champagne when they are ahead by 6 points.

"However, the Mavericks probably won't maintain the same shooting percentage as today's first half in the next game."

When Zuo Li got home, he thought, why did the Knicks play like this? Isn't it because the Mavericks shot so accurately, 75% in a single quarter, this is simply amazing.

Fortunately, the most difficult game has been passed, and future games should not be so scary.

So, two days later...

In G2 of the finals, the Mavericks proved with practical actions that Zuo Li thought too much...

"What the hell, there is no most accurate, only more accurate."

After finishing the first half, Zuo Li shook his head dejectedly. Now it was his turn to look at the statistics helplessly with his hands on his waist.
