Zuo Li is crazy!
After blocking the Hornets' offense three times at the beginning, and by the way, he also angered the two of the Hornets' tallest and shortest layups, Zuo Li seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren and Du.
No matter who made a breakthrough in the penalty area, Zuo Li treated them equally and greeted them with big hats. The New Orleans Arena seemed to have changed hands at the moment.
For Zuo Li, he was excited about his own re-evolution, and he couldn't see it on the training ground, but now, after a few days of thinking and practice, Professor Jabbar's experience has been fully integrated by Zuo Li.
If Zuo Li used to rely more on physical talent to defend, now he defends by reading the game and analyzing the opponent's attacking style.
The recent landslide has been serious due to internal and external troubles, and the Hornets, who are not in good condition, have become Zuo Li's touchstone. Zuo Li is getting more and more excited on the field.
"Zuo Li, who opened his arms, is a real demon at this time. He weaved a big net in the penalty area and smashed all the enemies who dared to come!" Yu Jia's commentary was literary but very realistic.
6 points, 6 blocks, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in a single quarter!
When can points, rebounds, and blocks be the same in a single quarter!
Moreover, this is the data that Zuo Li only played for 7 minutes and 45 seconds.
It is no wonder that the Hornets only scored 17 points in this quarter, trailing by 8 points in a single quarter, and the score in the penalty area was only a pitiful 4 points, and all of them were obtained in the few points that left the court.
The Knicks scored a full 12 points in the penalty area, three times that of the Hornets, rebounded 8-4, and the gap was twice as high.
In this regard, the fans only want to give Zuo Li 82 points, and the remaining 18 points are given to Zuo Li in 666 ways.
For Knicks fans, this section is an enjoyable one, but for Hornets fans, there is only one left:
fear!
Now the Hornets players don't dare to attack the inside line very much. Zuoli's deterrent force is really too great. If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard for you to appreciate the shadow brought by the sky and the sun.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the excited Zuo Li took the initiative to ask Ying, D'Antoni would naturally not refuse, with a big wave, Zuo Li led the second echelon into battle, Ke Liu, David Li, Du Hong, Novak became Zuo Li at this moment 's partner.
This lineup is strong in attack and weak in defense. In terms of offensiveness, this lineup does not lose to the lineup of most teams. There are three points, offensive rebounds, mid-range shots and breakthroughs, but the defense is not good.
It's not very good to play as a starting lineup, but it is just right to put it in the link between the quarters. This lineup is to play against the opponent.
Yes, the Hornets thought so too.
So at the beginning, the Hornets replaced Chandler and West on the inside, and James Worthy and Hollins on the outside, and they were ready to fight against the Knicks.
However, when he came up and stood on the left in a normal position, he still slapped James Worthy's layup out of the three-point line. Ke Liu got the ball quickly and made a layup. The whole process only took 12 seconds.
In the next round, Hollins slipped the bottom line and wanted to vacate. The top of the left-handed penalty area intercepted the pass in the air with almost two steps. After landing, the dribble behind his back made Adam Morrison almost knocked over, and then a dragon Assist David Lee to complete the dunk!
22 seconds into 2 attacks!
Damn, this is not what I imagined!
Scott was going crazy off the court, but you made up for it secretly?
How can this defense be so good!
So just after playing for a minute, the Hornets quickly replaced the main force.
However, it still failed to stop the Knicks from making a 12-3 attack, and the Knicks led by 18 points 60-42 at halftime!
Hornets fans numb.
They recalled the horror of being tortured by magic blood a few days earlier.
And looking forward to seeing this posture...
The fans turned their attention to the big screen one after another, and Zuo Li's smile looked particularly bright against the data on the side.
Halftime 12 points, 9 blocks, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Why are you so comprehensive?
If it weren't for that opening air interception that was blown into a steal, wouldn't you have a triple-double in the half? !
But what the **** is a quasi-triple-double in this half!
Are you so excited that our New Orleans drumsticks are not tasty enough to attract you!
"Look at all, this is the impact of not letting Zuo Li play in the Christmas battle, half-time quasi triple-double, only one block away, Zuo Li will be able to get triple-double again, half-time quasi triple-double, but, Few people in the league can do it." Director Zhang was once again amazed.
It is said that Director Zhang has secretly registered an account on INS, and the avatar is still Zuoli element, this is a change of heart.
But looking at Zuo Li's performance in this game, his heart has become well-founded.
During the intermission, Scott was furious in the locker room. He denounced the weak behavior of the players for not daring to play inside, thinking that this was to fuel his arrogance and destroy his own prestige!
Um?
Why is this set of lines so familiar? I feel that many villains like to say it.
But there is nothing wrong with what Scott said. The Hornets in the second quarter were really soft. Except for Paul, even West rarely played inside singles. As for Chandler, I'm sorry, inside singles are really out of line!
"We need to be tougher! The pick-and-roll should be more aggressive and decisive, Paul, shoot when you have the chance, don't worry about others!" The roar from Scott's locker room is estimated to be heard across the board.
It's a pity that what he shouted was completely off the mark. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zuoli was too much of a threat on the defensive end.
Chandler's defense is also very good, but it's not on the same level as the left standing tonight.
But, this is Scott...
A man who has been focusing on pick-and-roll for a hundred years.
On the Hornets side, Paul, who played almost the entire first half, and West continued to stay on the court. This season, Paul averaged 44 minutes per game, more than James, which also paved the way for his glass attributes in the future.
But it's not entirely to blame for Scott's death as the main force. With the Hornets' configuration, once Paul is not there, no one can really take the lead. On the bench, only one of the league's strongest third point guards, Anthony Carter, can still play a dozen.
But it's the third point guard, no matter how strong it is.
So Paul has to do it himself!
Paul can be considered calm after the setbacks in the first half. He now knows that the rookie number one pick has made a sudden stroke, which is not like a human being. Three points weaker than Howard.
What's more, Zuo Li seems to be able to read his ball line makes him have to be careful and careful every time!
This time, after picking and rolling with West, he finally did not choose to hit the penalty area head-on, but made a mid-range shot near the center circle, which was a good start for the Hornets in the third quarter.
But right away, Zuo Li sent out a subtle cooperation. Zuo Li and Dragic at the top of the arc completed the pick-and-roll handover. Zuo Li received the ball and broke through a few steps, entered the penalty area, and then shook Chandler with a shoulder-shaking dribble. .
Chandler took two steps back, and it was too late to pounce.
Zuo Li did not choose to break through, but then took a jump shot in the neutral position!
Paul reacted very quickly and rushed to interfere at the first time, but...
What is the cutest height difference?
Paul's arms just reached the left's neck...
"Height is a problem." Barkley sighed, if it's on the outside, it's fine. Inside, if the left arm is raised, it doesn't matter if he doesn't jump, Paul wants to block... um... I'm heartbroken!
