Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 966 Tianwang Mountain? Old friend

Buckley was stunned!

Kenny Smith is stunned!

Fans were stunned!

Everyone was shocked!

Who would have thought that the Mavericks, who returned to their home court, could actually win two games in a row to tie the total score, and in the fourth game, they would complete a huge comeback after falling behind in the first three quarters!

2-2!

The two sides actually returned to the same starting line.

This obviously exceeded the expectations of most fans and industry insiders.

"To be honest, I didn't expect this result. The Mavericks are so strong?!"

"I thought the Knicks would sweep. After losing the first game, I thought it would be 4-1. Now you're telling me to go to Tianwang Mountain?!"

"The Mavericks are really the most underrated team this season... They are very good."

"The Knicks players are really amazing. Zuo Li can't win even if he plays like this. Are you guys good enough?"

"Brother upstairs, the rest of the Knicks are doing just fine tonight, but the Mavericks are even better."

"The Knicks are still young. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and were fooled by the Mavericks. The old guys like the Mavericks really become more and more weird as they get older."

…

It is not difficult to see from the fans' discussions how shocked they were by this game. After all, the Knicks have always felt invincible this season. They have never been beaten twice in a row in the playoffs, and their away record is also very good.

In addition, the Mavericks have never been able to fight tough games, so losing two games in this way was a bit difficult for fans to accept.

And then people suddenly discovered... It turns out that what Zuo Li said at the end of the second game was not nonsense. The Mavericks who returned to the home court really deserved it!

According to TNT statistics immediately after the game, in the third and fourth games, the Mavericks averaged 57.5% shooting, 48.8% three-point shooting, and 89% free throws!

These three shooting percentages are all higher than the Knicks, so it's no wonder they win.

Not only that, the performance of the Mavericks team is also remarkable. In two consecutive games, six players scored in double figures, especially the bench, which was previously considered inferior to the Knicks. These two games have completely proved themselves.

Of course, although the past competitions are worthy of scrutiny, they are no longer so important at this time. Now people are more concerned about the next Tianwang Mountain.

After completing the counterattack, this round of finals once again reached a critical stage.

Especially for the Mavericks, from 0-2 to 2-2, the Mavericks seemed to have replaced the Knicks as the one closer to the championship.

So in the history of the NBA, has there ever been a situation where you were down 0-2 in the finals and still managed to come back and win the championship?

The answer is yes, and there have been three times. Although the times are not many, some seniors have finally set an example, and the closest one is the Heat in 2006. No matter how much controversy there was that year, the Heat's 0-2 comeback is irreversible.

Already.

Of course, that period of history may be the painful memory that the Mavericks least want to recall. After all, it was the closest they came to a championship.

But after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Mavericks fans have begun to take the initiative to use that painful history as a benchmark.

Mavericks boss Cuban said: "I have said before that we can reach here not by luck but by strength, and now it has proved everything."

"I know you are all thinking whether we will become another comeback team. I want to say that since we lost the championship in this way in 2006, we will get it back in the same way this time!"

As domineering as ever, Cuban expressed his ambitions to the media in his own unique tone.

The Mavericks players also expressed that the boss's ideas are their own, and they must continue their efforts to strive for greater victory.

And their confidence has sufficient sources. After all, they still have a home court. If they can win it again, they will have the absolute initiative by winning the match point.

For a moment, Knicks fans were a little panicked...

This kind of panic has even infected the media from New York, represented by A Smith. Many New York media people feel restless, their palms are sweating, and their hands shake when they see the news about the Knicks.

Many reporters even felt that they could not hold the microphone steadily...

In every hidden corner, New York reporters changed from their usual cruelty and dug hard, regardless of style, because they felt that the atmosphere in the Knicks at this time must be very bad. For the glory of New York, they decided not to stimulate the Knicks.

The players.

However, the day after G4 ended, they came to the Knicks training ground as a group... They were all Spartan!

"Hey, hey, over there, over there! Catch him, he dares to dunk Zach, he must be punished!"

"Caught it, caught it! Damn, it's so big! It feels so good!"

"Ah ah ah ah, help, no, no, no! It's broken, it's broken! Oh oh oh oh oh!"

"Si Guoyi..."

Zuo Li shouted his wisdom, Curry took the lead, Danny Green followed closely, Randolph was the mainstay, and a group of people rushed towards David Lee, then picked him up and walked away, rushing all the way to the cylinder under the basket.

boom!

"Oh!~"

"Hiss~~~"

The reporters gasped and felt a cool breeze blowing under their crotches...

But this scene…

Reporters: "So you are fine at all!!!"

Zuo Li: "?"

What can happen?

Although they lost two games in a row, the Knicks' mentality was still very stable, and there was no psychological explosion due to being reversed. After all, 2-2 is not the end of the world, it is just getting back to the same starting line.

Moreover, the Knicks have Zuo Li, and his repeated emphasis has made everyone in the Knicks understand the difficulty of this series. The coaching staff has made full preparations for the difficulties, including what to do if they are tied, so at this time they have not

There was no panic.

"Although the feeling of losing consecutive games is not pleasant, fortunately we have not been greatly affected. Now our goal is to successfully win Tianwang Mountain!" D'Antoni said.

"Yes, the coach and Zuo Li have done a lot of work. We are okay. I have reviewed my previous performance and I will work harder in the end." Curry said.

Zuo Li's answer was even simpler: "Have I not said before that winning an away game means victory, but you all don't believe it. Now, it's time to win this away game, and I've long been used to it at Tianwangshan."

In the three years since Zuo Li entered the league, he has played in Tianwangshan more times in the playoffs than many players who have played for more than ten years. For such games, it can be said that Zuo Li has really rich experience.

"Si Guoyi..." The reporters looked at Zuo Li and clapped unconsciously. It was only because of how well he knew his opponent that he could predict this so clearly. It was Zuo Li who deserved it.

But they didn't know that Zuo Li was actually a little panicked. Although he thought winning an away game would be a victory, he didn't expect it to reach this point. The Knicks were actually cornered by the Mavericks.

But Zuo Li is still confident. Since fighting like before is not enough, let's try another way!
