Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 959 A goal that changed the situation

"Too strong, the German tank. Originally, I thought the Knicks led by Zuo Li had a chance to take away the game. At that time, they finally got rid of the terrible three-point rain from the Mavericks. Zuo Li's strength made people feel that victory was just around the corner.

In front of you."

"However, Nowitzki will not admit defeat. Starting from when he threw the key ball over the left standing head, he scored 16 of the Mavericks' 29 points. It was his strength that kept the Knicks from closing the score.

Pull away!" Yu Jia said.

"It's great to alternate the lead 18 times. This is the most anxious game in the playoffs so far..." Director Zhang continued:

"This is a key attack. There are about 2 minutes left in the game, the two sides are tied, and the Mavericks have the ball. It can be said that every goal is critical now. Whoever fails to score first will give the initiative to others.

"

Accompanied by the voices of the CCTV commentators, Kidd was stuck on the 8-second time line and dribbled the ball past half court.

This is the wisdom of the former No. 1 point guard in the league. In the current game, the most taboo is to rush and hit hard. Controlling the ball in your own hands and suppressing the rhythm is the key to success.

"GOGOGO!" Kidd shouted, asking his teammates to start running tactics, while he kept observing the young man in front of him——

Curry is always about one meter away from Kidd, and he makes sudden shots but not shots.

But Kidd doesn't care about Curry's defense. He has already planned everything. He will control the time for this shot to about ten seconds, and then find a way to pass it to Dirk in the low post.

Yes, he just put up four fingers. This is exactly the Mavericks' classic tactic - Dirk's low post!

The Mavericks got instructions from the team's brain and began to operate accurately. Dirk dropped low and then picked and rolled Marion to come out to catch the ball. Marion then took away the defender and gave Kidd a chance to pass the ball.

Marion and Peja dropped to the three-point line, waiting to respond at any time, and rush for rebounds.

A very good tactic. It can be said that the Mavericks' ability to stabilize their position and Dirk's ability to continuously score points are inseparable from Kidd's strategizing.

It was the same this time. Kidd confidently pressed the clock outside the three-point line, but he didn't know that he had already been marked by someone.

Stand left!

To be honest, he didn't play well tonight. Except for a burst at the beginning of the third quarter, he didn't feel comfortable playing at other times. He just scored 30 points and 11 rebounds.

Although the data is already exaggerated, it is still very different from Zuo Li's performance of 40+ in the past. This is all due to Dirk. Zuo Li, who is constantly consumed on the defensive end, obviously has no chance to exert his full output.

Dirk's ability also made Zuo Li's defense seem less successful, although overall, Zuo Li's defense of Dirk was already Dirk's lowest efficiency in this playoffs.

However, for Zuo Li, who has MAX defensive ability, the outside world has also seen the best player against Zuo Li.

Big men with high shots and accurate shots are really difficult to guard!

Zuo Li was very depressed, but he had no special solution, and he could accept it in his heart. Defending Dirk in this year's playoffs was obviously a very difficult task.

Once he gets the ball, he can only try his best to interfere. There are many ways for Dirk to score. Back then, he fought against the Big Three by himself and gave James Weibo a hard time.

So Zuo Li decided to start from the source after spending a long time!

So Zuo Li pretended to switch to defend Chandler, letting Randolph go to cover Nowitzki, while Chandler went to the baseline to pull away, and Zuo Li followed suit and moved toward the baseline.

This scene made Kidd feel relieved. If Zuo Li was defending, he would have to worry about Zuo Li's long arms, but Randolph didn't have this problem.

Seeing the weak side, Kidd was ready to throw the ball high, but as soon as the ball left his fingertips, Kidd saw a scene that made his eyes explode.

Zuo Li, who was originally supposed to be attracted by Chandler, had already appeared behind Randolph. The moment Kidd passed the ball, Zuo Li stepped in front of Randolph and Dirk!

"NO!" Kidd wanted to catch the ball back, but it was impossible.

The basketball flew straight to the inside, and Zuo Li had already jumped up!

However, this ball was not considered Zuo Li's possession. Dirk also discovered Zuo Li's intention, so he jumped directly and stretched his arms as hard as he could to reach the basketball. The two collided in the air!

However, Randolph sent a key assist from behind, and his confrontation with Dirk caused the latter's center of gravity to shift!

A fingertip away!

Zuo Li was the first to touch the basketball.

"It's broken!!!" the commentator exclaimed.

Zuo Li intercepted the ball and immediately prepared for a fast break with the ball. However, Kidd, who had missed the ball, was already standing in front of Zuo Li, and Dirk had also strode to catch up.

If you forcefully get rid of it, it is very likely to cause a foul. Although it is not impossible, Zuo Li didn't want to give up this hard-won fast break opportunity, so Zuo Li threw the ball directly into the frontcourt!

"STEPHEN!!!"

"coming!"

A bolt of orange lightning shot out of the crowd, quickly, and got the ball at half court.

"Curry!!!" the on-site commentator shouted.

"Get back on defense!!!" Carlisle shouted from the sidelines.

After getting the ball, Curry accelerated towards the basket, and was still one position ahead of Marion behind him.

According to the speed, Curry felt that he was stable, but Marion seemed to be inspired, and his crazy running made him close to Curry!

"Be careful! Stephen! There's a thief!!!" the players on the Knicks bench shouted anxiously.

Although Curry didn't hear it, he could feel that the pursuers behind him were approaching, so Curry made a wonderful decision!

Slow down and wait for someone!

boom!

Marion bumped into Curry, and Curry completed the shot before he lost his balance, causing a foul on Marion who was chasing him.

After the basketball bounced on the rim a few times, it finally rolled slowly into the rim.

“2+1!!!!”

With the sound of the DJ at the scene, the fans in the arena once again burst into cheers like a roaring tsunami.

"Oh, Zuo Li, Curry's wonderful connection, Zuo Li's anticipation, and Curry's intelligence all made up this goal. This ball was so crucial. It was originally a chance ball for the Mavericks, but it was missed by Nick.

Steve has gained the advantage. If he scores another extra penalty, he will be 3 points ahead, and the Mavericks will be at a disadvantage!" Barkley, the on-site commentator, said excitedly.

"This game is so exciting, my heart can hardly stand it!" Smith said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Well done Stephen!" Zuo Li excitedly rushed over from half court, pulled Curry up, and then rubbed Curry's head hard.

Curry was also very excited and raised his head to kiss his left hand. This ball was his gift to the fans.

Stepping to the free throw line, Curry made a steady free throw!

3 points!

This is the biggest advantage the Knicks have tonight.

Carlisle requested a timeout, and what follows will be a moment that determines the life and death of both teams.
