Chapter 407： 1 side hit halftime

A rookie can hear the voice of the MVP in Madison Gardens, the mecca of the basketball world, that is really the pinnacle of his basketball career.

This scene also made the commentators from all over the world sigh with emotion.

Barkley: "The playoffs are currently the best, the best rookie season is the most favorable competitor, and he is only one step away from making history. There is no doubt that after this playoff, Zuo Li has stepped into the ranks of superstars."

Smith: "Tonight should be very exciting, what kind of stats will Zuo Li play?!"

Yu Jia: "This is the peak of a rookie."

Yang Yi: "More than that, this is the peak of a player's career. Ewing didn't have this treatment back then. The audience here is notoriously harsh. It's a common thing to cheer on his own players. It's amazing that a rookie can do that."

Guidance Zhang: "Heh~! This is a blood boil for me. It's at least 120 decibels at the scene. My earphones are full of noise. Zuo Li is too popular. I must have an interview tonight. He, why isn't this guy our player. What a pity!"

Miss Fuji TV in Japan: "Zuo Jun is really the pride of the yellow race. It would be great if you could hug him~ (Star Eye)!"

Audience: "???" Please control your hormones.

South Korean MBC anchor: "Smecta is too good, it is said that Zuo Li owns South Korea... Smecta's Smecta~"

Well, Korea doesn't matter.

However, Zuo Li, who is standing on the field, is also very cool. To conquer this place is the dream of every player. If he can do it, Zuo Li scored 82 points for himself, and the rest will be distributed in the form of 666.

But at this moment, he has no time to appreciate such worship.

This is the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The importance of the tiebreaker is self-evident. If you win and enter the Eastern Conference finals, even if the season is a success, Zuo Li will have an almost impeccable rookie season. Just go home to fish, and the efforts of the first 6 games have been in vain.

This is cruel to every team and will test the mental quality of the players. All teams are fighting against the odds, facing the test of life and death in the series.

And this is also Zuo Li's first tie-break in his life. How Zuo Li's performance affects the hearts of fans from all walks of life.

As we all know, the performance of the tiebreaker is also an important indicator of a player's ability. No game is more tense and exciting than the tiebreaker. The pressure accumulated in 6 games will be completely released at this moment. Both sides silently fired bullets and took out bayonets. Get ready for hand-to-hand combat, this is the battlefield of true superstars.

For example, Jordan, he won 2 of the 3 tiebreaks in his career, the winning rate of 2 wins and 1 loss is very impressive, and the data is also very explosive. He can get comprehensive data of 37+7+7 per game, and the shooting rate is as high as 50%. , This is the true strength of the basketball god.

Of course, many people in later generations felt that Jordan's tie-breaks were too few to compare with James's 6 wins and 2 losses.

? ? ?

Jordan's career is strong, isn't it that few teams can beat him to the tiebreaker, and when there are more tiebreakers, it's also an advantage, and it's not enough to sweep them all, right?

Zhanmi sat down. The tiebreaker is still very important. At least if the tiebreaker is reached, then you have to win. On this point, Zuo Li still agrees.

Zuo Li didn't want his first tiebreak to end in failure, so he prepared to attack with all his strength from the very beginning.

Before the game, in the face of the interview, Pierce said they were used to the tiebreaker: "We have no pressure, this is an opportunity, this is an opportunity that we can all be excited about, although it is an away game tiebreaker, we have already We've been through it once, we're going to play and we're going to be ready. We've got the whole of Boston behind us, let's take it!"

But having said that, their pressure is obviously greater, because they are the defending champions, and the Knicks, led by Zuo Li, were the second-to-last last season, and it is enough to be able to force the defending champion to this point.

So Zuo Li told everyone before the game to relax and let go of the fight, they are the ones who are more afraid of losing.

So this mentality became the most realistic portrayal of the first half of the game.

Both sides start:

Celtics: Perkins, Davis, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.

Knicks: Zuo Li, David Lee, Chandler, Larry Hughes, Duhon.

It can be seen that the Knicks have replaced two starters. Anyone who knows this lineup will understand that the Knicks are finally trying to speed up!

Sure enough, Zuoli successfully jumped the ball in the opening game. David Lee did not look for a defender as soon as he got the ball, but directly looked for Zuo Li who had just landed.

Zuo Li got the ball and a CROSSOVER swayed Perkins away. This was near the three-point line, and the inside line was smooth. Zuo Li went straight to the penalty area, jumped high, and dunked with both hands.

Bang!

The baskets at Madison Square Garden are shaking!

This attack was completed in only 5 seconds. This is also the main theme of the Knicks in the first half. It is to force the Celtics to speed up through the speed of standing left. It's getting slower, and this is the Knicks' chance.

Soon, relying on Zuo Li's performance, the Knicks established a 7-point advantage in the first quarter. In the halftime, Zuo Li efficiently scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. David Lee also scored 8 points. An 11-point advantage at halftime.

The fans at the scene had no one to sit down. For the first time, they felt that they were so close to the Eastern Conference Finals. In only 24 minutes, they could complete the impossible task.

But the Celtics' ability to adjust is strong enough. They took the initiative to change in the third quarter and replaced Tony Allen as a new force. Eddie House replaced Ray Allen. Their purpose is to suppress the Knicks' No. 2 and No. 3 positions. , preventing the Knicks from rushing up to speed, while interfering with Zuoli, leaving him helpless.

On the offensive end, the Celtics just don't speed up, they just play the position, press the rhythm, you hit you, I hit me, the old-fashioned Pierce stood up in the second half, using his own accuracy to reach the outrageous mid-range, Pierce single quarter 8 points, helping the Celtics recover a 6-point disadvantage in a single quarter.

At this time, the Knicks also had to let Randolph play again and start a hand-to-hand battle with the Celtics. In the last quarter, both sides fought desperately to defend. The two teams only scored 4 points each in the first 6 minutes of this quarter.

Every goal has to pay a great price, left Li's arm is already full of bloodstains, until the last minute, the Knicks 79-77, still 2 points ahead of the Celtics!

But the Celtics seized the opportunity, Ray Allen flanked, caught the ball and shot, hitting the long two points to tie!

79 flats!

There are only 34 seconds left.

"The two sides each played a good half-time goal and finally drew!"

"Now, all eyes are on Zuo Li, will he create a miracle?!"
