Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Chapter 977 Shooting to Save the World (Part 1)

With an excellent defense, Zuo Li did not let his ambition of becoming a boxing champion succeed. Instead, Zuo Li's stumbling look caused everyone to laugh at him.

Buckley: "Chandler's look reminds me of a black bear in a zoo..."

O'Neal: "Tyson may not be able to move until he stands in the ring."

Kenny Smith: "Tyson shouldn't do things that he is not good at at all. Although Zuoli is not a normal Zuoli, he is not someone who can be bullied casually."

A Smith: "6"

…

It is conceivable that if Chandler succeeds in this goal, Zuo Li will be ridiculed even more. This is the reality.

But what happened next surprised everyone, because Zuo Li was directly replaced by Anderson.

Not only that, judging from Zuo Li's movements and expressions in the camera, it was not D'Antoni's initiative to make the exit this time, but Zuo Li's initiative to request the exit!

Now fans all over the world are in a panic!

"WTF! Zuo Li won't stop fighting!"

"Sure enough, it's still too much. Even if you are Zuo Li, you can't compete with your body."

"This game should not have been played. The state is too bad. It would have been unthinkable in the past to go half a quarter without scoring a point. Moreover, the Mavericks have made it clear that they are targeting you. The pressure is too great, so I might as well give it a rest."

"Upstairs, although I agree with you in the first half, it is not so easy to take a break. This is the match point, and it is our home court. Players who are pursuing it will not give up easily."

"It's true. This is an opportunity to win the cup. If I die, I will die on the court!"

"Haha, to put it simply, there is no difference between playing like this and not playing. Except for guarding the ball from a rough guy like Chandler, it is pretty good. The rest of the time it is annoying. If you ask me to say that it is still possible to play with someone else, the left-hander is the best.

Finished!"

…

Controversies filled the entire Internet, and even the attention of the ongoing competition dropped for a while, which shows how high the attention is on Zuo Li.

However, no matter how outsiders argue, it is an indisputable fact that Zuo Li was replaced. Not only that, Zuo Li did not appear on the court again after the first quarter.

"Now Zuo Li may really not be able to return." Director Zhang said in a complicated tone. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Zuo Li. Injuries are more severe than tigers, and even the strongest physical talent in the league is no exception. On the other hand, he

I also feel that instead of trying to hold on, it’s better to fix it. At worst, we can still play tiebreaker, there is room for error!

and……

Director Zhang looked at the score and realized that if the game continued like this, there would be a high probability of a tiebreaker.

In fact, the Knicks were not behind by a few points when Zuo Li was on the court. Although Zuo Li did not score, Zuo Li involved a lot of the Mavericks' energy and instead created many opportunities for others. Before Zuo Li came off the court, the Knicks

14-18 behind by 4 points.

However, Zuo Li's dismissal dampened the Knicks' morale and allowed the Mavericks to open up completely. In the second half of the first quarter, the Mavericks went on a 20-12 run, leading 38-26 by 12 points in a single quarter.

At this time, many fans are looking forward to Zuo Li's return to the court. After all, even if Zuo Li is not in good condition, his role is truly irreplaceable.

However, as the second quarter started, Zuo Li still did not appear on the court. At this time, the hearts of Knicks fans all dropped to the bottom.

"It seems like Zuo Li won't come back."

But is that really the case?

Did Zuo Li really decide not to fight?

of course not!

Although Zuo Li was indeed a little tired just now, if he was so timid, he might as well have rested in the first place.

Zuo Li on the bench was not idle. In addition to observing the situation on the court, he was also thinking about his own style of play when he returned to the court.

Previously, Zuo Li maintained his style of play before the fifth game, always pulling inside, trying to save energy by reducing running in the low post.

Facts have proved that Zuo Li thought too much. The inside line was indeed a meat grinder. Plus the Mavericks deliberately targeted him, not to mention saving energy, and almost beat Zuo Li in advance.

Zuo Li was also convinced. After playing in 1996, his opponents said they didn't think Jordan was sick. How could he be seen through so quickly? Could it be that his acting skills were really so bad... Or was there Pique in the opposing lineup?

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Anyway, now it’s time to show the cards…

Then it's no longer possible to try to take advantage in the low post, so Zuo Li is ready to transform into the No. 1 position to create opportunities for his teammates!

After some exchanges, with the audience cheering, Zuo Li was substituted with 6 and a half minutes left in the second quarter and the Knicks trailing by 16 points.

"I knew Zuo Li wouldn't admit defeat like this!"

"Zuoli! My God!"

"The counterattack is about to begin!"

Knicks fans are excited. As long as Zuo Li is standing, the opportunity is there.

But there are also a lot of people who pour cold water on him. Many people think that given Zuoli's current state, it is better to forget about the reversal.

The famous Zuohei Langley mocked on social media: "Zuo Li should think about how to break the scoring drought instead of winning."

However, as soon as Zuo Li came on the court, he used an assist at the top of the arc to help Randolph complete the dunk. Then the defensive end also protected the defensive rebound again and made a long pass to Curry for another score.

"Beautiful!" Curry and Zuo Li high-fived excitedly. Zuo Li is back, and his backbone is back.

Seeing that Zuo Li seemed to have changed his style of play, Carlisle changed to cannon fodder again. In the next round, when Zuo Li was holding the ball on the wing, he directly stepped forward and collided with Zuo Li with his body.

However, Zuo Li was already prepared. He turned around from the wing, dribbled behind his back and then faked a turn to open up the space. Then Randolph immediately came up to pick and roll. Zuo Li took two steps with the ball and passed it to the inside. Randolph caught the ball and knocked him over.

Cannon fodder scored 2+1!

"Roar!!!" Randolph roared to the sky and showed off his fat muscles.

He played this ball with anger, and he wanted to help Zuo Li vent his anger.

"You lose a lot of money by stealing a chicken. The Mavericks' substitution had no effect. Instead, Zuo Li seized the opportunity and hit one. Randolph made a free throw. The point difference was only 9 points." Yu Jia said with a fist.

.

"We see that Zuo Li no longer goes inside, nor does he take the initiative to find confrontations. Instead, he uses his vision and passing ability to help his teammates with the ball," Director Zhang said: "This is Zuo Li's ability, no matter what

Whether he's in good condition or not, the Knicks will have a chance when he's on the court."

In the second quarter, the Knicks tied the score to 50-58. The 8-point difference made the suspense of the game return again.

Zuo Li sent out 4 assists in this quarter. Although the score was still zero and the breathing seemed to be getting more and more serious, it still gave people hope of the Knicks' reversal.

However, just when Knicks fans were expecting the Knicks to be able to go all out in the third quarter, the Mavericks changed their strategy again!

In the second minute of the third quarter, Zuo Li led the main force back. However, in the first round, everyone discovered that the Mavericks' defense against Zuo Li was loose!

Not only that, Marion, who was defending Zuo Li, was defending in the three-point line, and the others went directly in front. No matter how the Knicks ran, they just didn't give Zuo Li an angle to pass the ball!

"Don't you want to pass the ball, then I won't give you a chance to pass it!!!" Carlisle smiled slightly, hiding his merit and fame.
