Two three-pointers in a row!
The Lakers' momentum of pulling points was terminated by Zuo Li himself, and the scene returned to a controllable range.
Zen Master Phil's face was a little stiff. He didn't think D'Antoni could find a way to crack the Lakers defense in such a short period of time in the midfield. This is the charm of tactics. The reason why off-court adjustments are so important is that It is because it is extremely difficult for any team to adjust on the spot, and if you are not careful, you will kill yourself.
So the Zen master already has confidence in the midfield, and he won this game!
However, in just a few rounds in the third quarter, his fantasy was shattered, and Zuo Li made two three-pointers in a row!
This is inconceivable to Zen masters.
Before the game, Master Zen naturally had fully researched Zuo Li, and naturally knew that Zuo Li once made several three-pointers in a single game when he was playing the Jazz.
But this is just an accident in Zen Master's view. In this era, it is easy to get angry with a center like Oku. No, you can ask Dayao. Every time you fight with Oku to the end, it is easy to get angry, and then make a little bad. same thing.
Joke, after all, how can there be a 5 in this era where pure outside shooting is the main scoring method.
There is no fourth seat!
From fans to coaches, who would believe that a big man who can post up and punch has a good shooting skill package.
It also made it impossible for others to live.
Therefore, Zen master estimated that Zuo Li was also angry, so he learned to throw three-pointers as often as Oku, and then it happened to feel good, so he had the performance of five three-pointers in a single game.
After so many games, it seems to have confirmed the conjecture of the Zen master. Zuo Li's play style returned to 'normal' again, focusing on breakthroughs and low positions in the interior. He didn't shoot one three-pointer in three or four games. Just 40%, which is neither good nor bad.
Therefore, the Zen master naturally did not take Zuoli's projection ability to heart, and naturally he would not make targeted arrangements.
So this time, the Zen master was stunned.
Come on, you are so fake! ?
Wouldn't it be hoodwinked again!
Even if it is, will he continue to get the third and fourth!
On the surface, the current Zen master is calm, but he is already a little panicked in his heart. He is now facing a major problem, which is whether to let the defense block it.
On the field, Zuo Li made the choice for him, because Kobe Bryant responded with a three-pointer, which popped up and was taken by Du Hong. Du Hong, who dribbled the ball over half court, looked around, and Novak came over to pick and roll over to reach for the ball.
Ariza hurriedly pounced on him, and a player like Novak doesn't need the coach to say more. He will never have a chance on the perimeter.
However, Du Hong handed over the hand he chose to Zuo Li, who was walking slowly to the front court!
There was no one in front of him, Bynum had madly ran into the penalty area, but Zuo Li played him again.
Catch the ball, shoot in one go!
brush!
Three threes in a row!
Zuo Li directly brought his score to 39 points!
The difference also immediately returned to 8 points.
"Beautiful! Zuo Li was possessed by Ray Allen and Reggie Miller tonight! He scored 9 points in 1 minute and hit three three-pointers in a row. I thought I was back in the 90s!" Barkley said.
"Wonderful, no one expected Zuo Li to respond in this way. The Lakers' zone defense is a bit embarrassing. At this time, do you dare to let Zuo Li vote?" Smith added.
The hearts of the fans on the sidelines were thumping again at this time, and the calmness of the midfield was completely lost.
what the **** is this! ?
A big center who can break through can pull out Biao three points again?
Zuo Li can fully imagine the mood of the fans. This is as shocking as seeing O'Neal throw a three-pointer. Think of the big men like Antetokounmpo and Embiid in my memory that shocked the entire basketball world at the beginning. , and Zuo Li's performance tonight was more terrifying than them.
Therefore, the Zen master called a time-out decisively. Such a situation of calling a time-out without hesitation is extremely rare in the Zen master's teaching career, which is enough to show that the current problem has come to a time when it has to be solved.
After the timeout, the Lakers replaced all the main force and changed the defense to man-to-man once again, which means that the Knicks' tactics worked!
So although the Lakers came up with Gasol backing Randolph to continue to expand the point difference to 10 points, Zuo Li was still excited, because man-to-man means that the Knicks and him have an opportunity!
However, the Zen master did not use Bynum to defend the left stand anymore, but used Lamar Odom to follow the defense.
Before being single-guarded by the Kardashian family, Odom was known as a 'left-handed magician'. Before James, he retained the title of the youngest triple-double. With a height of more than 2 meters, he can control the ball and score inside and outside. Can play 5 positions on the court, is very active on the defensive end, can guard three, four, and even five positions.
Although his height is not dominant in defending Zuoli, his footsteps can indeed keep up.
On the offensive end, Odom didn’t have much desire. He passed the ball to Bynum after a pick-and-roll, but Bynum missed. Zuo Li’s block made him almost blocked, but it was not too much. In short, Zuo Li Pick up the rebound again.
However, Bynum on the defensive end finally defended a ball under the help of Lamar Odom, left the shot and hit the ball, and Bynum got the rebound.
Bynum, who got the rebound, was very excited. He roared after the pass, but Zuo Li didn't talk to him but quickly returned to the defense. Fisher's pass, Ariza chased the top of the arc for a three-pointer and was chased back. Zuoli interfered, and the bounced ball was picked up by Zuoli again!
Bynum's roar got stuck in his throat...
Zuoli, who got the rebound, dribbled the ball from behind and swayed Ariza straight forward.
Then Zuoli went straight to the front court, Ariza failed to cut the ball, Zuoli dunked with both hands in three steps!
All-in-one four!
As for the four, it's Bynum, who is ready to serve the baseline ball at the basket...
Can't stand it, brothers.
This is the epitome of the entire third quarter. The Lakers and the Knicks played back and forth, and Zuo Li even made 4 three-pointers in a single quarter.
The Knicks had an incredible upper hand in this quarter They extended the difference to 8 points into the fourth quarter.
Zuoli completed the counterattack in this quarter, made 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 dunks. He scored 16 points in a single quarter and scored 46 points at the end of the three quarters.
Although Kobe's pace slowed down this quarter, he still scored 11 points. At the critical moment, he had a god-level performance of continuous breakthroughs to create 2+1. When the Knicks played 6-0 in the last two minutes, Kobe scored 5 points in a row. stabilized the situation.
Kobe scored 48 points in three quarters, still leading Zuoli by a slight advantage!
However, the battle between the two is exciting enough. This is also the first person to score between Staples and Kobe Biao after Arenas in 2006!
According to the state of tonight, both of them will get a high score of more than 50 points!
"It was really a picturesque showdown. Kobe was as strong as always, but Zuo Li did not give up because his opponent was strong. Instead, he showed great fighting power and tenacity. Regardless of the final result, this game will become a classic. ." Yu Jia said.
