Chapter 268： The 'Sky Hook' Comes to Madison!

"Okay! If you're confident, then just do it." D'Antoni patted Zuo Li's shoulder in appreciation after listening to Zuo Li's thoughts.

Tactics are not the most important thing, as long as it is enough to confirm that Zuo Li is not demoralized due to the unsatisfactory first half.

Now it seems that Zuo Li is more tenacious than he thought. Not only is he not affected, but he is thinking about how to fight back. This is a must-have quality for a super giant!

Anyway, in D'Antoni's heart, those guys who admit defeat in advance and find excuses to take responsibility are hard to be called super giants no matter how strong their personal strength is.

As for tactics...

D'Antoni also has to admit that it is still feasible, but the main factor is still Zuoli.

Zuo Li put it this way: "Unsurprisingly, they would still defend me like this in the second half. It is not certain that I will go to the free throw line, because now it is us who want to stop the watch, and they are also afraid of being disrupted."

"So I'll be tougher, as long as I can beat Artest, they'll have to replace me to defend me, then, we'll be back on track!"

"Dragic, Novak, Harrington, David Lee, Randolph, guys, it's up to you in the second half!"

Zuoli means he's going to open up the game and then attract the defense while letting Dragic pull the pace, Randolph, David Lee, Harrington and Novak providing fire support, especially David Lee and Noah Wacker, need their three-point support, thereby dragging down the Rockets.

This doesn't sound like a problem, and it's the only way to change the coach.

After all, the Knicks belong to a single-core team. The biggest problem with single-core is that once the only core is restrained, they have almost no other point to stand up to take responsibility, so if they want to make a comeback, they must have a normal core to have a chance.

But the question is, how will Zuo Li break the game?

D'Antoni didn't expect it, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he lost 17 points. The big deal was just a loss, so he chose to believe Zuo Li!

In the third quarter, the Knicks took the lead in making personnel adjustments, Zuo Li, Dragic, Ke Liu, Novak, and Harrington took the lead, with a typical offensive and defensive lineup.

And the Rockets went to Scola and Uncle Mu, the outside McGrady partnered with Shane, and the guard was still the little black bean Brooks.

The raucous Madison Square Garden broke out with all the cries at the beginning of the third quarter, and they also knew that if they wanted to reverse, the third quarter was their last chance.

Adelman doesn't understand Zuo Li's starting debut, because if he is, he will give Zuo Li a few minutes to recover the blood. After all, Zuo Li was taken care of in the first half, and the defensive intensity has definitely reached the super-giant level. Under the rhythm, his physical energy was definitely consumed faster than usual.

"It looks like they are preparing for the last fight." Adelman showed a confident smile, folded his arms and waved arrogantly, signaling his team to attack with all their strength.

He wants to completely solve the battle in the third quarter!

Game start!

As soon as the Knicks came up, they still chose to play Zuo Li. In front of Zuo Li was Batman Battier, a player that Zuo Li personally admired very much.

Off the court, he's low-key, unassuming, and polite.

On the court, he has high ball intelligence, strong psychological quality, and excellent defense. He can always find his own value without fighting or grabbing.

Shane Battier on the field really relies on his own strength to defend. He has very few small moves and will not hurt anyone. He belongs to the kind of player who makes the opponent's players unable to pick out major problems. On the offensive end, one-handed three-pointers are superb, always. Contribute at critical moments.

Battier in memory often plays an important role in the Heat. The Heat beat the Thunder in the 2011-12 season finals. Battier made 5 of 3-pointers in the last game. In the 2012-13 season, the Heat defeated the Spurs in the finals. Thiel made 6 of 8 three-pointers.

A player like that is really what every team wants to have.

He also played such a role in the Rockets. Now he is responsible for replacing Artest who needs a rest and marking Zuoli.

There is no trash talk, there is a rare peace in Zuo Li's ears. After the pick-and-roll, Zuo Li chooses to go inside. Shane is ready to confront him. His confrontation is not as good as Artest's. It is difficult to resist Zuo Li, but he will do effort.

Seriously, at the moment Zuoli turned around, Shane was ready to fall back...

Ahem, it's not just Varejao who fouls is a professional!

However, Zuoli's next move made Shane froze in place...

On the court, facing Battier's defense, Zuo Li did not force his way to the inside as he did in the first half. Although Uncle Mu was old, his defense was good, so Zuo Li chose to train himself for a while. Use it!

At a distance of two meters within the three-point line, the body of the left standing dribble suddenly slanted to the side. His right hand grabbed the ball with one hand, and his left hand protected the ball. While protecting the body of the post, his right arm was raised above his head, swinging his palm. , a gentle delivery with your fingertips!

brush!

Scored!

Shane turned his head and looked at it, feeling a little overwhelmed, how did he get in? !

really!

It's not even close to the restricted area!

At the same time, all New York fans unconsciously exclaimed.

what the hell!

The sky hook is coming to Madison! ?

"Oh buy~! Oh my God, what did I see! Sky hook?! This is the sky hook! Zuo Li actually used the sky hook in the game!" Yu Jia was directly ignited by this ball, yes Time to reveal your identity as a hidden Kareem fan!

"It's true, this is really big!" Director Zhang also gave a like. One of the people here counts as one. Many people have not seen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 'Sky Hook' with their own eyes, but Director Zhang is different. He has really seen it. !

In 1978, Director Zhang was almost able to play against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on behalf of the Chinese team, but it was a pity that Abdul-Jabbar had just entered the NBA from college that year, and Director Zhang regretted missing this opportunity.

Not only that, there were so many topics in that visit to the United States by Director Zhang, and the things left behind can be said in tens of thousands of words. For example, Madison Garden has witnessed countless records over the years, but the only draw was that Director Zhang and the others left behind. Yes, I have to say, kind of magical.

Don't judge what happened back then, go back to the present.

Instructor Zhang's words are completely certified Zuo Li This is really a sky hook, Jabbar's stunt for so many years!

How can it be? !

When did Zuo Li learn? !

Sky hooks are not Chinese cabbage. In this era when centers are struggling to learn hooks, there is basically no market for sky hooks that require both confrontation and a soft touch.

And this thing is too difficult to practice, it will not take time to practice.

Instead of spending so much time and energy practicing something that you can't master very well, it's better to replace a few simple things.

Taken together, these are the biggest reasons why the skyhook disappeared in the NBA.

But today, the sky hook is back!

"This kid." Kareem, who was watching TV, picked up a donut and was finally willing to use it. He thought Zuo Li would have to hide it for how long.

"Let me see how much you've learned," Kareem thought.
