The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 1248 The missed kill, the loose bottleneck

"The Knicks were very resilient in the first half. They defended hard, gave almost no chances, and ran tirelessly. To be honest, I want to give them a thumbs up. It's really great, with such a staffing configuration. "It's really good to be able to do this." Yu Jia gave the Knicks a very high evaluation at halftime, even though they were 10 points behind.

But the Knicks' efforts and resilience are still worthy of praise. After all, even Beverley worked hard to score 4 points. I would have known that Beverley only averaged 2.4 shots per game before. Now Beverley has completely evolved into a defensive player. Gate, he really doesn't attack, and basically gives all the shooting opportunities to other teammates, but today, when no one on the team can stand up to score, Beverley bravely stood up and tore through the audience. Even though he bit Kobe, who was bigger and stronger than him, he still scored 4 points, which is definitely worthy of praise.

And Beverley is just a microcosm of the Knicks. It can be said that the seven Knicks players gave their best. Zuo Li and Danny Green even played the entire first half. No one complained or complained.

With this kind of performance, there is nothing to say even if it falls behind.

The attitude of the fans at the scene said it all. In Madison Square Garden, which is famous for being strict with its own people, the lagging Knicks received enduring applause and cheers from the audience. The fans' mood was also very stable, without any insults. Player phenomenon occurs.

Spike Lee even picked up a long-lost beer and shouted to the Knicks bench: "You are great, I am proud of you!"

It doesn’t matter if you lose!

This is the consensus of the fans.

The support of the fans certainly gives the Knicks players strength, but if they can win, of course they must win. Even though they are behind, even though they are short of major generals, in the second half, the Knicks still have to strive for victory with all their strength.

There is nothing to say about the personnel, and there is no room for error. It is still the starting lineup and the Lakers who are tough, and the Lakers are the same. Although they feel that victory is within their grasp, they are still the main force. After all, they have to worry about overturning.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Zuo Li started a pick-and-roll with Danny Green and met Gasol at the top of the arc for a shot!

Gasol had no time to avoid and directly hit Zuoli's elbow.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle decisively.

"NO!"

Gasol secretly thought something was wrong. Although the ball was stuck, it was not too heavy. Zuo Li's shot was still completed!

After landing, Gasol quickly turned his head. Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.

Zuo Li, who was fouled, still threw the ball in!

3+1!

"Damn it, absolutely!"

"allow!"

"Who dares to stand upright with a sword, but I am General Zuo!"

"Never give up! You have to be Zuo Li!"

……

Amid the cheers of the fans, Zuo Li stood on the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily!

6 points!

But right away, Kobe used Beverley's defense to also create a 2+1.

brush!

Kobe, who also made steady free throws, scored his 17th point.

Kobe blew his "pistol", entering his 17th season, Kobe's style is still the same.

Due to Zuo Li's intrusion, Kobe, who should have suffered the biggest injury of his career last season, was not injured. Instead, he completed two surgeries in the offseason under Zuo Li's stimulation. ….

Although his speed has been affected after recovery and his jumping height is not as high as before, his technique has been improved and every move is very powerful.

In fact, it should be so. After all, Kobe suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, which is the most serious injury for athletes in history. After hard work, it is certain that he will not be able to achieve what he once was.

而在受伤前，科比场均可以拿到27.3分5.6篮板6.0助攻1.4抢断，命中率46.3%。

This is Kobe's highest shooting percentage since the 2008-2009 season.

In addition, Kobe's true shooting percentage in the 2012-2013 season reached 57%, which was also the highest since 07.

It can be said that last season was another peak of Kobe's career.

The same is true now, so Kobe will naturally not decline too much this season. Except for the fact that his defensive quality cannot keep up, it is not as good as when he was young. His other performances are not much different from his peak period.

The tough response to the ball just like now is still Kobe's signature.

But Zuo Li was worthy of anyone, with an inside hook, Jordan Hill looked at the ball and sighed.In fact, if the Knicks have a complete lineup, it will be quite easy to beat the Lakers, especially in the paint. With Howard gone and Bynum gone, no one can match up with the left winger. It would be troublesome to guard David Lee, plus there are artillerymen on the outside. As long as you feel good, winning is easy.

However, injuries are more severe than tigers.

Zuo Li can't just stay on the inside now, he needs to catch all the players.

No, when he got back, he jumped out to defend Kobe, leaving Kobe to have no choice but to shoot.

Strike it!

however……

Chasing Dreams failed to protect the rebound and Gasol made a tip-in.

"Dry!"

Zuo Li sighed.

There is no way, this is a single-core problem. Otherwise, the NBA does not have a truly strong single-core team. If one position is not good, the entire team will be affected.

In fact, Iguodala, Danny Green, Dream Green, and Adams are all good players with strength and potential.

But it’s too tiring to hold on!

This directly reduced their strength by five levels.

Just like just now, Chai Meng obviously couldn’t keep up...

But fortunately, Zuo Li was strong and scored 18 points in this quarter. In addition, the Knicks' three armies defended with all their strength. At the end of the three quarters, the Knicks trailed by only 78 points, 84-6.

This score has already impressed commentators and industry insiders.

O'Neal: "The Lakers reflect and reflect, 12 against 7, the opponent didn't take a rest, you only won so much."

Barkley: "As expected of a dynasty team, full of resilience, Zuo Li is too strong, 40+15 in three quarters, amazing."

Kenny Smith: "The Lakers should be careful, they might really overturn in the fourth quarter."

……

In the fourth quarter, the obviously inspired Knicks player went on a 2-9 run in the first 3 minutes, directly tying the score.

Vince Carter's equalizing three-pointer against Kobe Bryant's defense made countless fans shout: "Young man is back!"

The Lakers were immediately stopped by this wave of offensive. During the timeout, Zen Master's roar seemed to explode in the ears of every fan.

Knicks fans are ignited. If they can reverse and defeat the Lakers, it will obviously be a great encouragement to the Knicks who are in adversity at this moment.

But alas, things didn't go that smoothly.

After the timeout, the Lakers stabilized their position, won three consecutive rounds, defended the Knicks' offensive, and responded with a 6-0.

Then they took advantage of the Knicks' declining physical fitness to continuously widen the points difference.

8 points, 10 points, 12 points, 14 points...

In the last 3 minutes, the score came to 100-76, which was also the largest point difference between the two teams in the game.

"It may be over... It's a pity." Director Zhang sighed, the rotation of seven people was still too reluctant.

"It deserves respect. The Knicks did their best." Yu Jia applauded.

D'Antoni called a timeout, but the purpose may not be to chase points, but to replace Danny Green and Iguodala, who have been playing for one minute without a break.

By now, he felt like he could give up.
