Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 976 Zuo Li was kicked off?

"Sorry, my, my, my."

After losing the ball, Zuo Li reached out to signal to his teammates, and then looked in the direction of the Mavericks coaching bench.

"As expected of you, Carlisle."

Zuo Li also didn't expect that Carlisle would spot him so quickly after pretending to be healthy for a long time before the game, and he was so targeted that he was directed at him in the first two rounds.

Sure enough, he is the most successful head coach in the history of the Mavericks, and he has two skills.

Everyone knows that the Mavericks' success relies on Nowitzki's superb performance, but Carlisle is the real hero of the Mavericks. His tactical arrangements and personnel deployment are also unique in the league. Historically, Barea was used as the starter in the finals.

It's not something ordinary coaches can do.

After all, he is a man who can lead the Pacers to the second round of the playoffs after experiencing the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Carlisle seemed to know that Zuo Li was looking at him, so he smiled slightly to show respect.

Of course he sympathized deeply with Zuo Li's illness, but this was the finals and a battlefield, and he had to deal with Zuo Li. After all, the stadium was never a place for sympathy. Seizing any of the opponent's weaknesses and beating him up was the right thing to do.

So in the next five minutes, Zuo Li was fiercely targeted by Mavericks.

On the offensive end, Dirk keeps picking and rolling to hit the left wing. Even if the Knicks change positions quickly and prevent Dirk from seizing such opportunities, Kidd will pass the basketball to the person guarding the left wing.

When defending, Zuo Li certainly received special care. Chandler, Dirk and Marion took turns defending Zuo Li. Even if Zuo Li didn't touch the ball at all in this round, the Mavericks would not relax against Zuo Li.

defense.

Not only that, the Mavericks were even supposed to replace Ian Mahinmi in these few minutes. This long-time substitute inside line kept rushing in, and he received two fouls in 3 and a half minutes and was substituted.

It looked like he was here for a trip, but in fact he knocked Zuoli over twice.

Even if Zuo Li didn't get the ball...

"This is murder! Murder!!!"

This also made D'Antoni extremely angry. He took the tactical board and tried to argue with the referee, but was finally stopped by Ewing.

But he was not the only one who was uncool. There was a riot in Madison Square Garden. Spike Lee even made an uncool gesture to the referee and shouted: "This is just a common foul. Are you blind dogs?"

Eye!"

Zuo Li stood up and said there was nothing wrong with him, but the boos from the audience proved that the fans were standing with D'Antoni.

Barkley also said: "The Mavericks seemed to have found the key to victory, but it was not decent enough. Their foul on Zuo Li was very rough. Zuo Li fell to the ground many times tonight."

However, the Mavericks don't care about such criticism, because all this is very consistent with the rules on the basketball court, that is, as long as you stand on the court, you can't expect to be treated favorably.

As the commentator of the Dallas TV station said: "Zuo Li is in very bad shape. He seems to have difficulty standing firm, but so what, can't he still defend? This is not a kindergarten or a playground, this is the finals, it is a war.

!As long as we win, we can use all means allowed by the rules."

Yes, Zuo Li didn't make any statement on this, nor did he complain to the referee. From the moment he chose to play despite being sick, he knew what he needed to face.

The NBA has never been a place that talks about human relationships, and maybe it will be in the future, but not now. There are only wins and losses on the court. Jordan came out sick when he was sick, and the defense he encountered was equally terrifying, but this is the game.

If you want to change all this, you don't rely on others' sympathy or letting go, but you must rely on your own strength to break the situation.

But how to break the situation...

Zuo Li was still thinking.

…

The Mavericks' purpose is obvious, which is to consume Zuo Li's physical energy at all costs, and it is best to defeat Zuo Li!

So after a short timeout, for the first time in the finals, Chandler posted up to the left.

This scene opened the eyes of fans all over the world, because Tyson Chandler's post-up ability is well known. If he had the ability to post up, he would not be used as a bargaining chip by the Hornets. According to his strength, he beat Zuoli with his back. It is true.

The egg hit the stone.

But tonight was different. In these few minutes, Zuo Li almost told everyone with practical actions that he had not recovered from the disease, and his face became increasingly pale and he had large sweat beads, and he kept holding his knees and panting.

His appearance let everyone know how bad Zuo Li's condition was at this time.

Five minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 blocks and 4 turnovers. This is the first time Zuoli has done this in his three-year playoff journey.

“It can be done even if it’s not possible!”

Countless Dallas fans are eagerly looking forward to it, hoping that Chandler can successfully defeat Zuoli and make them feel embarrassed.

Chandler thought so too!

The steps were difficult for him, but he directly wanted to use his strength to crush him, because he had taken advantage of the strength confrontation many times today. This time, he wanted to use his strength to directly crush Zuo Li, and then wash away the shame of being dunked.

!

"Coming baby!!!"

Chandler turned around hard. He seemed to have seen Zuo Li being knocked away, and a smile even appeared on his face in advance.

However……

boom!

The fierce clash of muscles, the tooth-aching sound...

Zuo Li, resist!

"Oh Mom!!!" The commentator, who was about to close his eyes, was shocked and held his head in his hands.

In the camera, Zuo Li's chest directly resisted Chandler, causing the latter's expression to freeze on his face.

"It's not over yet! How could I let you pass so easily?" Zuo Li said through gritted teeth.

This time, he had used all his strength and put all his weight on Chandler.

This is a tricky method, because once Chandler is smarter and sees through Zuo Li's movements, Zuo Li is likely to fall because his center of gravity is too forward. At that time, it will definitely be more embarrassing than being successfully beaten in singles.

However, the upright boxing champion did not disappoint Zuo Li. He directly bumped into him, allowing Zuo Li to successfully withstand the impact.

Not only that, because he didn't expect to be blocked, Chandler's feet began to lose ground, so the referee decisively whistled Chandler for a walking violation!

"Guard it! Zuo Li! He did it!" The on-site commentator roared excitedly: "Zuo Li defended the Knicks' glory!"

"Zuo Li is so fierce, he is indeed a real man!"

"Zuo Li is so powerful, I thought he wouldn't be able to bear it anymore."

"The experience of being a left-field player saved him and the Knicks."

…

The commentators also said this one after another.

It's just that amidst the voices singing hymns, Zuo Li's condition is not very optimistic. This seems to have consumed all his strength, so that he is a little unsteady...

So he signaled that D'Antoni needed to take a rest, and the German coach also hurriedly replaced Zuo Li with Anderson.

At 5 minutes and 51 seconds, Zuo Li returned to the bench.

The fans were confused...What happened? Zuo Li was kicked off the field?!
