Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 972 Decisive battles are always accompanied by surprises

In the last minute, the Knicks were actually not ready to play. After all, they still had a 40-point lead. Although the five players on the court at this time were Ewing Jr., Anderson, Kelvin, Dragic and Beverley.

A decent second and third lineup, but after all, we are too far ahead. Let’s keep a line as a person so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

So Ewing didn't choose to pass the ball at the top of the key. Since 24 seconds were coming soon, he just threw a three-pointer.

So little Ewing threw it casually, and it was very powerful and righteous, so...

Bang, bang!

The basketball hit the board and hit the buzzer!

Little Ewing:…………

Looking at the murderous eyes of the Mavericks players, Ewing wanted to tell them: If I said I didn't mean it, would you believe it?

Yes, but it's not important. After all, although there is only a three-point difference on the surface, the actual results can be described as worlds apart.

Although Tianwang Mountain has always been a battleground for military strategists, there have been many one-sided games in the alliance over the years.

Before tonight, the playoff battle with the largest point difference at Tianwangshan was the Western Conference semifinals in the 2008-09 season. The Lakers defeated the Rockets 118-78 at home, with a point difference of 40 points.

In other words, before this three-pointer, the Mavericks were only tied for last place, but after this goal, the Mavericks only enjoyed this embarrassing record with a 43-point difference.

No wonder the fans at the scene were booing. This would put them on the pillar of shame.

But as we all know, the smile will not disappear, it will only move. The moment the basketball fell into the bag, the Rockets fans in front of the TV opened champagne and started celebrating, not only because they were finally not last place, but also because the Knicks let them

There is a feeling of elation.

I don’t know how many fans still remember that in the first round of the 2005 playoffs, the Rockets were leading 2-0, but were reversed by the Mavericks, and were defeated by 40 points in the final seventh game. This was officially

The bleak daily life of the Yao-Mai era of the Rockets.

It can be said that this game is more memorable to Rockets fans than the 40-point loss to the Lakers in 2009.

Han Xue, who was moved alone on the sidelines at this time, was the representative.

It can be said that this game left a deep impression on her. At that time, Han Xue was still a rare and beautiful junior high school girl who loved basketball. Since the distance between school and home was less than two streets, she ran all the way after school at 11:40

When I got home, I quickly turned on the TV without even bothering to eat, hoping to watch the final moments of the game.

Unexpectedly, what came into view was a very dismal score of 76-116, and the camera at that time also showed a dejected Tracy McGrady. This can be said to be the most impressive scene in Han Xue's entire student career.

In fact, the overall performance of the Yao-Mai combination in that game was very good. Yao Ming contributed 33 points and Tracy McGrady scored 27 points. Unfortunately, except for the two, the team no longer had a third scoring point. The highest score was only by David.

-Wesley's 7 points.

Although many years later, the referee at the time came forward to criticize the black whistle in that game, but it did not help in the end.

This game can be regarded as the real pain in Han Xue's heart, and now, it is finally the Mavericks' turn to experience it.

At this moment, they were with the Knicks, and Zuo Li, a ten-year-old fan, showed up uninvited.

Of course, Zuo Li didn't think it mattered. Losing means losing. The result of 1 point and 43 points is the same.

Compared with the score difference, of course what he cares about is the victory itself.

Zuo Li was very excited to win this game, which meant that the Knicks had finally accomplished their set goal of coming to Dallas and regained the initiative.

They will return to New York for the next game, where Zuo Li is confident that he will not let the championship fall by the wayside.

After the game, a surging crowd of reporters once again surrounded Zuo Li. Although there were very few shots of Zuo Li in the second half, the reporters would not forget that the win in this game was due to Zuo Li's unexpected change of position and his performance in the first quarter.

An outstanding performance of 24 points.

Barkley asserted: "If the Mavericks hadn't been unable to withstand it, Zuo Li would have scored 50 points."

This sentence was considered nonsense by Kenny Smith. After all, with Zuo Li's state tonight, it is possible to score 60 points, not to mention 50 points.

Other media's evaluation of Zuo Li was more direct, using almost all available words, and it was simply the best of human praise.

But Zuo Li didn't pay much attention to it, as he repeatedly emphasized during the interview: "We won't celebrate yet because our work is not done yet."

Win the championship in one go!

This is Zuo Li's true thoughts after playing G5. These three games in Dallas have almost wiped out the Knicks' wealth. The Mavericks are really difficult to deal with. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for the Knicks. G6 can solve it.

Just don't delay it to G7, otherwise you don't know what the variables will be.

But variables are really hard to predict. Sometimes they happen inadvertently.

…

At 2:30 in the morning, the Knicks' charter flight flew back from Dallas overnight. The moment it landed, Zuo Li woke up from his sleep.

"Finally back." Looking at the familiar lights in the airport, Zuo Li felt very warm. The trip to Dallas for more than a week really made him a little exhausted physically and mentally. On the one hand, he had to go all out with his opponents in the stadium, and on the other hand, he was exhausted.

On the other hand, Zuo Li also has to deal with the voices outside the field and formulate tactics. It can be said that Zuo Li is the most tired person in the team.

Fortunately, although the process was difficult, the result was good, so at this moment, Zuo Li felt that his nerves were somewhat relaxed.

"Zuo Li, we're here, go home quickly, have a day off tomorrow and have a good rest." D'Antoni personally came to Zuo Li's place and asked him to get off the plane. He didn't say anything to this disciple.

so perfect.

Without him on this trip to Dallas, the Knicks would not have survived.

"Okay, coach." Zuo Li agreed while taking off the blanket covering himself. When he came back, he felt that the air conditioner was a bit cold, so he asked the stewardess for it.

"Huh~ It feels so good to be home~"

"but……"

"Wait a moment!"

"Aqiu!!" Zuo Li got up and sneezed heavily, "Oh, it's still quite cold. Is this New York in June?"

But he didn't care, just thinking that the air conditioner was blowing too much.

"Are you okay?" D'Antoni asked with concern when he saw Zuo Li's runny nose.

"Okay, nothing's wrong, everything is normal." Zuo Li wiped his nose with paper and moved his hands and feet and said.

"That's good...if you feel unwell, tell me right away." D'Antoni breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't care. After all, Zuo Li's health was notoriously good and he hadn't even caught a cold in the past three years.

Um?

Why does it feel a bit like a cold this time?

But...probably not!

D'Antoni didn't think any more, it was just a sneeze, it wouldn't really catch a cold!

However, when he woke up, he got Zuo Li's report...

Zuo Li...I have a cold and a fever!
