Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 971 The Knicks win

At the American Airlines Center, the Knicks players were all hunched over each other and looking at the big screen, including head coach D'Antoni.

It doesn’t matter if this is a competition!

But it is understandable that, not to mention the 12-point lead at this time, the excitement of the two goals in this round made people unable to take their eyes away.

Even the referee was not in a hurry to start the game. He even glanced at the Mavericks head coach: Why don't you call a timeout? You're ignorant.

Carlisle felt like he had been stabbed in the knee. If the rules hadn't allowed it, he would have wanted to slap the referee in the face right now.

Damn it, this is the home court of the Mavericks. If you don't provide help in times of need and provide some home whistle, why are you rubbing salt in the wound?

I won’t call you this timeout!

If you don’t want to call, don’t call…

The referee didn't bother to pay attention to Carlisle, who was about to lose his mind. He held the whistle and raised his head. Even he, a referee who has been practicing law for ten years, has never seen such a shot of two historical levels of offense and defense in one round.

The Mavericks' offensive round was played on six large screens at the same time. Dirk was perfect from receiving the ball to the Golden Rooster, with a high release point and a good rhythm. Anderson had nothing to do.

But in the camera, a tall figure burst out of the penalty area, crossed the three-meter distance in one step, then jumped into the air, and touched the basketball at an incredible height!

In the camera, it can be clearly seen that half of Zuo Li's palm almost crossed the top edge of the backboard. This is definitely the highest take-off shot in history.

"OMG!!!!"

"This block is outrageous!"

"Clean, no dispute! Is this playing volleyball?"

"The golden rooster can cover him alone... This man is so terrible."

"It flew too far."

"This kind of jumping height is definitely more than 1.2 meters!"

"Oh ho ho ho ho, this may be the best shot in history."

"I remember this is the first time Dirk Golden Rooster has been blocked. Has it happened before!?"

…

Even watching the replay still made the fans excited. Knicks fans could not restrain their emotions and expressed their emotions in various places.

But this was just an appetizer. After the sideline ball came out, Zuo Li reached the top of the arc in three steps, broke through with cross steps, and threw the ball directly in front of Marion. Marion almost slipped, but he should be grateful to Zuo Li for his subsequent actions.

, leaving his slip unnoticed.

Throw yourself and buckle!

Still a buckle!

Chandler became the unlucky guy. He was dunked directly by Zuo Li. Looking at the height, if Chandler had lowered his head, he might have been jumped over by Zuo Li.

"I'm drunk at this altitude!"

"My knee pads are broken from kneeling, kneeling for Boss Zuo Li!"

"Compared with Zuo Li, other people's talents are simply not talents."

"It's so strong. How did he do it and still jump after jumping so high just now!"

…

After returning to defense, the fans were already drunk. Even fans at the American Airlines Center spontaneously applauded Zuo Li. Regardless of opposition or not, from a purely basketball perspective, Zuo Li's round was truly legendary.

Of course, after the applause, the Mavericks did not forget to continue to cheer for their home team. They hope that the Mavericks players can maintain the momentum they just had.

Unfortunately, Zuo Li's performance in this round boosted the Knicks' morale too much. It simply added fuel to the fire. In the next round, the Mavericks' offense was intercepted by Danny Green's prediction. The Knicks counterattacked and Zuo Li took advantage of the situation.

He immediately scored two more points, raising his score in a single quarter to 20 points.

Then the Mavericks missed a shot, Zuo Li grabbed the rebound and pushed forward. When Zuo Li broke through to the three-point line, all five Mavericks teamed up with Zuo Li, causing the rest of the Knicks to be left empty.

Standing from left to right to distribute the ball, Anderson took off with one step and completed a dunk.

"This... we can't be so defensive. It's all about Zuo Li. Where are the others?" Director Zhang shook his head. Mavericks was obviously fooled.

In the next round, Terry, who was anxious, dribbled the ball by himself, regardless of driving in. Zuo Li, who was inward, combined with two inside players, Randolph and Anderson, to make a dumpling.

boom!

Terry hit Randolph and was bounced away without even taking a shot.

Zuo Li took the ball and pushed forward. Randolph raised his arms above his head, very innocently... This was caused by him, it is none of my business.

At this moment, Zuo Li had already advanced to the Mavericks half, adjusted his rhythm, waited, and then threw to the basket. Danny Green made an alley-oop and scored two more points.

There was another wave of offensive climax, and Carlisle couldn't even call a timeout if he didn't want to.

But this timeout had no effect. Although the Knicks directly replaced Zuo Li and brought on three substitutes, David Lee and Battier, the Mavericks were still beaten by the Knicks.

There was nothing I could do, I was almost going crazy on the bench, especially Ke Liu, who couldn't wait to come up and show off his skills.

With a score of 45-20 in a single quarter, the Knicks played an epic first quarter of the Finals, creating the largest point difference in a single quarter in the history of the Finals.

The 25-point lead made the Mavericks fans desperate, and they seemed to have seen the ending of this game.

This is what the saying goes, some teams are dead in the first quarter, but they are buried in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks can really sing "Don't Cry for Me, Dallas" tonight.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks' four main players, Gatrey, came out in their strongest offensive formation. Dirk, who played the entire first quarter, was not even prepared to take a minute's rest. However, he was blindsided by Zuo Li as soon as he started.

Zuo Li, who scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in the first quarter, started in the second quarter and blocked Terry on his first shot.

In the next round, Dirk hit the ball hard and made one of two free throws. However, Zuo Li took the penalty and grabbed it. He raised the ball high and hit it high. With a slight click, the basketball bounced into the goal frame.

Two points become three points...

"Good guy, Zuo Li is killing people and killing his heart. Every round feels like he hits the calf directly on the seven inches." Director Zhang said.

"It's too demoralizing... The Mavericks feel a little broken. Judging from their expressions, they really want to ask: How can you fight so well!" Yu Jia echoed.

Despite Dirk's special efforts, the point difference not only did not narrow by this quarter, but was widened to 34 points at halftime.

The third quarter actually became garbage time. Zuo Li, who had 36 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks in the half, didn't show any interest until the last 2 minutes.

This time was not wasted. After grabbing the rebound, he assisted Curry to score, preventing the Mavericks from chasing points in the end.

Zuo Li was then replaced and watched the entire game from the bench. His statistics were fixed at 36 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks.

The Knicks also led by 40 points in the third quarter, 99-59.

At this time, Mavericks fans no longer expect the team to win. After all, chasing 40 points in a single quarter is really unrealistic.

Their hope is to catch up by a few points in the last quarter, so as to avoid the Mavericks leaving an embarrassing record, which is the record of the most losses in Tianwangshan history.

However, despite being a substitute, the Knicks' top players were very powerful. Not only did they hold on to a 40-point deficit, they even threw in a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the last minute...

"43 points...the Knicks are really winning."
