Halftime 28 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists!
Zuo Li broke the record for the fastest triple-double in NBA playoff history. The previous record was also Zuo Li, which was also halftime, but this time it was one and a half minutes faster than the last time.
Zuo Li also became the only player in the history of the NBA playoffs to score a triple-double without finishing two halftimes.
"This is the consequence of angering Zuo Li..." Yu Jia looked at the incredible data and fell into contemplation.
Just one word, he only wanted to say it once.
"Zuo Li is a disaster for the entire Green Army. He silenced the North Shore Garden tonight." ESPN's guest Magic Johnson said with a smile.
I'm so happy, I can't stop laughing.
What? why are you laughing? Should commentators remain neutral?
Sorry, I just thought of happy things.
However, Celtic fans have to admit that Magician is right. Zuoli played in this way is really a disaster for the Celtics.
And more unfortunately, there are three such disasters tonight!
In addition to Zuoli's half-court triple-double, Stephen Curry, who was ridiculed countless times by the Greens fans before the game and considered to be the Knicks' biggest shortcoming, threw six three-pointers in the half and scored 20 points in the half. And the other, Zach Randolph, not only scored 22 points in the half, but also had comprehensive data of 4 assists and 5 rebounds.
A team in the half, three people scored 20+ at the same time, this kind of scene, the last time it appeared in the nba, it should still be... oh! I haven't seen it before, this is the first time! ?
That's fine!
The Knicks took another record.
Barkley has expressed sympathy: "Maybe the next thing the Celtics should think about is not how to win, but how to save some face."
The Celtics fans were enthusiastic when they heard this. They knew that fans who liked the Green Army were somewhat enthusiastic in their hearts. How could they bear this kind of anger!
But looking at the score, 80-40 at halftime, the huge doubled points difference still made the fans of the Green Army calm down...
Well, Barkley was right.
After trailing by 40 points at halftime, no one thinks the Celtics still have a chance to come back, right? !
Even if the Green Army has strength, this state is no longer an order of magnitude. The Knicks completely went crazy in the first half, and everyone's confidence came up. The shooting rate was 78%. Proud defensive system.
The entire first half you can only see the Celtics run for their lives, keep running but can not stop the Knicks basketball into the basket.
Despair...already pervades the Celtics and the entire North Shore Gardens...
It is worth mentioning that 80 points at halftime is already the highest score in a halftime in the playoffs in the history of the Knicks, and it can also be ranked the highest in the entire history of the NBA.
In the 1990 playoffs, the Celtics led by Bird Bird in the first game of the first round of the playoffs were all held by the Celtics. Cut 151, and the opponent at that time is precisely the opponent of the Celtics tonight, the New York Knicks!
That night, the Knicks only scored 114 points and were swept by the Celtics.
It can only be said that the way of heaven has reincarnation. After 20 years, it will be the Celtics' turn to taste the taste of being crushed.
...
The next two quarters were uneventful. Although the Celtics tried to widen the point difference in the third quarter, they were left standing. Curry's outside shot was really unstoppable, and the Celtics were beaten. Completely unable to organize a decent counterattack, except for individual singles, even the previous pick-and-roll cooperation could not be played.
After Rondo made three consecutive pass errors, Rivers finally chose to accept the team's fate in this game and replaced the main force, and the game was officially declared into garbage time.
Barkley said humorously: "Rivers' persistence may only be for Zuo Li to score 30 points. After all, 30+ triple-doubles do sound more handsome."
Rivers wanted to hit someone!
In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Knicks beat the Celtics 141-100, 41 points, giving their opponents the biggest loss of the season.
The big score in the Eastern Conference finals also became 2-2. The two sides returned to the same starting line. The next game will be the brutal battle of Tianwang Mountain in Madison Square Garden.
Zuo Li scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in 29 minutes. He scored a triple-double for the second time in the playoffs this season. The total number of triple-doubles in his playoff career has reached 9!
Randolph scored 34 points and 10 rebounds, scoring the highest score in a playoff career in a single game, and the **** bear officially showed its edge!
Curry, who scored less than 30 points in the first three games, made 7 of 10 three-pointers and scored 29 points and 6 assists.
The three scored 94 points each, making it the most scoring trio in a single game in playoff history!
Against such a performance, the Celtics Big Five looked miserable, Pierce 14 points, Garnett 11 points and 6 rebounds, Ray Allen 10 points, Rashid Wallace 7, Rondo 8 points, 8 assists and 8 mistake...
"This is a complete failure, the Celtics paid for their arrogance." Smith commented after the game.
The New York Sports Daily said excitedly: "Never try to provoke Zuo Li, because this will definitely be the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life."
As for the fans, they all sighed at Zuo Lizhen's men, saying that if they kicked their ass, they really kicked, and they kicked so hard.
Zuo Li also once again became the focus after the game, only the wrong name was given, and no wrong nickname was given. The "Record Crusher" once again made people realize the fear of being dominated by Zuo Li.
However, unlike the swarms of praise from the outside world, Zuo Li and the Knicks didn't celebrate much. They flew back to New York that night, and Zuo Li continued to appear at the training ground early the next morning.
"There's nothing to celebrate, it's just a game, we haven't completely won yet. Next, we have to win Tianwang Mountain at our own home." During an interview, Zuo Li said calmly when faced with a reporter's question.
2-2 is just the same starting line, they are not much more than the Celtics, don't look at this Celtic seem to have no resistance, but if you think this is all the Celtics are, you are wrong .
So now is not the time to relax.
As Kobe Bryant said after the game, after four games, the division finals have just begun...
Of course Kobe is playing the role of being tied.
Originally, when the Lakers won two games in a row at home in the Western Finals G1 and G2, the outside world was optimistic that the Lakers could easily advance. Who knows, the Suns who returned to Phoenix really gave him a new life from the ashes.
G3, the Suns who returned to the home court were extremely resolute. Nash turned on the mvp mode, assisting one after another, and Stoudemire was even more crazy. The insider taught Bynum to not want it, and the two sides gradually played a real fire.
At 6 minutes and 36 seconds of the third quarter, Lopez was running with his arms high in the retreat and ran past Fisher. He didn't do anything. Maybe he didn't know what to say, which made Fisher offended. Er was furious and suddenly ran towards Lopez, about to punch Lopez twice, the Sun players rushed over, and Fisher wisely controlled his emotions after rushing over and avoided a fight. But both sides still received technical fouls.
It's the most recent playoff refusal to fight so far.
After the disruption, the Suns were not affected, but the Lakers fell into a scoring panic. At the last moment, Kobe failed to perform a miracle and was eventually taken away by the Suns 118-106.
