Remember [New] for a second,! The tip of the needle is against the wheat awn.
Again, playing the Lakers is a game that does not require mobilization for the Knicks. This sentence also applies to the Lakers. Now, no one knows the Lakers. The Knicks are their biggest opponents on the road to defend their title. Crown's great cause, they must crush the Knicks!
In addition, this game is about records. No matter how generous the Lakers and Kobe are, they will never be happy to have Zuo Li catch up with Kobe's legendary record in front of Kobe.
This fateful encounter gave this regular season a chilling taste.
Before the game, Madison Square Garden was overcrowded, and fans who came to watch the game caused massive congestion in several nearby blocks, which used to be a scene only seen in the playoffs and finals.
Tencent's reporters also became a member. In order not to affect the broadcast, they could only choose the subway to go there. After enduring the congestion of sweat, body odor, and body odor, the group arrived in Madison.
When I came up, I was stunned by the formation at the door.
"My God... this popularity is really too strong."
I saw that almost all the fans were wearing Knicks support t-shirts or orange jerseys, and Zuoli's No. 0 accounted for the vast majority. From time to time, fans screamed and roared, and there were cheers for Zuo Li. slogan.
A banner is even more eye-catching, because the six strong men holding it are writing: Zuoli is a nightmare in Los Angeles, and tonight is the night of super gods!
"Unbelievable!" A reporter who just came to the United States to broadcast was amazed at the basketball atmosphere here. For example, in the corner, he found a few Lakers fans who came from far away hiding in the corner and shivering, but they still insisted in a low voice. "Lakers are awesome" or something.
While others marveled at Zuoli's influence, fans all over New York went crazy for him.
"Let's go, there's something important to do tonight!" No reporter could be indifferent when he saw this battle, the excitement was certain, and the higher the attention, the more valuable their reports.
However, when they entered the arena, the reporters only felt a shock, and only felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a little.
chill, nervous~
The reporters unconsciously came up with such words, because the atmosphere of the whole stadium was so similar to last year's finals.
On the court, the players of the two teams were warming up with serious expressions, and they were very serious. Even a team like the Knicks with a relaxed atmosphere in the past could not see a smile.
And the cheers from the fans rose from wave to wave, and Spike Lee, the honorary "mascot" of New York, was on the sidelines with rhythm.
"New York~"
"Definitely!"
"Left stand~"
"Invincible!"
Ao Mei covered her face, she was really excited and mortified to hear her man's mood in front of so many people.
But Eminem, who didn't know when he arrived next to him, was very excited and shouted along with him. This feeling was even more released than on the concert stage.
"Tonight, it must be a battle between dragons and tigers." Tencent senior reporter Chao Chao muttered to himself. He was too familiar with this state, especially the expressions of Zuo Li and Kobe, which simply expressed three words: "I I want to win!"
Of course I want to win!
Before the game, the entire Knicks team swore together in the locker room. D'Antoni specially prepared an exclusive defensive strategy for the Lakers. The Knicks also patted their chests and assured Zuo Li that they would do their best for Zuo Li. ball.
The so-called mobilization is also mobilized.
Although Zuo Li said that winning is the most important thing, his teammates were so excited that no matter what Zuo Li said, Curry was even more excited to say that he would get 10 assists tonight...
In this regard, Zuo Li can only accept the kindness of his teammates.
How to say, Zuo Li now has a little experience of Westbrook's happiness in the future.
As for the Lakers, a scene similar to the Knicks also happened before the game, and it was more aggressive, which was vividly reflected in the first attack after the opening.
Opening jump ball.
When Bynum walked directly to the middle circle, he spat at Zuo Li: "Hey! I will end your unbeaten jump ball record, sooner or later! Maybe tonight! Let's wait and see, boy!"
Zuo Li: "..." Gu Xi
who cares!
What is the record of successful jump ball? Zuo Li doesn't care at all, he just jumps lightly, you can't jump me, blame me?
If someone can skip him, he will be very happy, this proves that it is still not his limit, he can continue to improve, so Zuo Li is looking forward to someone who can skip him.
Just... Zuo Li looked at Bynum, who was getting fatter and fatter.
You still forget it.
Sure enough, the jump ball Bynum just gave Zuoli a cold shot, and then ran away without turning his head to the ground.
Zuo Li looked at the referee, indicating that this is okay too?
The referee shrugged, signaling no foul.
Zuo Li didn't care either, because he knew that tonight's confrontation would only be more severe than now, and he was ready.
The beginning is to go all out!
Zuo Li dribbled the ball directly, and he also wanted to test what kind of net the Lakers had woven for him!
crossover!
Gasol, who was responsible for defending the left standing, stepped back decisively. Even though the left standing shot has been valued by everyone, the Lakers still chose to put the shot without abrupt.
Zuo Li didn't shoot directly, because the shot didn't make any sense to test the defense. He swayed the space and pushed inwards, Randolph pulled away, and Zuo Li's rhythm changed and forced a breakthrough!
In an instant, Gasol resisted Zuo Li, Artest let go of Chandler and directly recovered the pressing!
Zuo Li dragged his steps, which once again gave Bynum a chance to lock in.
Three people surrounded!
Zuo Li did not come strong, and directly distributed it to Randolph, who scored in the basket.
"Good guy, how ruthless!" Zuo Li thought while returning to the defense, but he was surrounded by three people at the beginning. The Lakers really looked down on him.
Generally, teams rarely use double teams at the beginning, not for other reasons. It is a big problem to prevent a whole game of physical strength. Generally, double teams are used at critical moments, or the last quarter, and the last two quarters are also possible. But as ruthless as the Lakers are, it's really rare to see three people close together at the beginning.
"Enjoy it." The Zen master on the sidelines showed a smile of an old fox. Other teams couldn't do it because they were not strong enough, but the Lakers definitely have this strength, but it's just not worth it.
And tonight is clearly worth it!
In this way, the Zen master wants to attack Zuo Li's confidence, and at the same time, block the possibility of his scoring!
This is also in preparation for the playoffs.
In the mind of the Zen master, the importance of this game is obviously more than one game.
But the Zen master did not expect that things would be so coincidental...
Of course, the Lakers will make the ball for Kobe, which is something that doesn’t need to be thought about, so when Kobe got the ball, Chandler and Danny Green went straight to the line to pinch the ball. Then pick up.
After Kobe came to the top of the arc, the two closed the circle again. Artest was let go, and Kobe didn't make a strong shot. Artest took the ball and made a slow layup to challenge Zuoli!
Snapped!
Zuoli directly covered it down!
Fight back!
The Knicks advanced quickly, and Zuoli took the ball and was pulled down directly...
"Strangulation battle! The Lakers really don't give Zuo Li a chance to shoot."
