The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Standing on the free throw line, listening to the roar and tsunami of the audience, Zuo Li made two steady dribbles.

Raising his hand, shaking his wrist, the basketball bounced to the back edge of the basket, and fell into the basket unyieldingly!

"The 40th free throw made, standing left, has created a single-game free throw record in the NBA Finals, and continues to refresh this record." Barkley said.

He is now full of shock. He made 40 free throws in a single game in the playoffs. Except for O'Neal and the left stand in a certain game of last year's playoffs, almost no one has touched it.

Zuo Li broke O'Neal's single-game free throw record in the playoffs last year, and now, by the way, he also broke the finals single-game free throw record.

Compared with the nba regular season, referees will adjust the penalty scale in the playoffs. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for players to get 20+ free throw opportunities.

When it came to the NBA Finals, referees were more cautious about free throws. It was basically difficult for a player to get 25 free throws in a single game in the finals.

However, in the history of the previous nba finals, there are still two players who successfully scored 25 finals free throws in a single game.

一个就是在05-06赛季的nba总决赛里面，东部赛区的热火队和西部赛区的小牛上演最终对决，而韦德在g5则是拿到43分4篮板4助攻的个人数据，帮助热火队101：100险胜小牛。

In this game, Wade's number of free throws also caused heated discussions among fans. Wade scored a total of 25 free throws in the whole game. In the end, Wade made 25 of 21 free throws and scored 21 points relying on free throws.

However, this game is very controversial, after all, the Mavericks team only has 25 free throws and Wade alone.

Later, when the referee was arrested, the secret of the year was solved.

Of course, O'Neal was the No. 39 player before. There was no controversy in this game. The [-] free throws were considered a medal for the Pacers' efforts to limit O'Neal. After all, they really couldn't stop them.

In fact, O'Neal only made 39 of 18 free throws. The Pacers actually succeeded.

These two times, one person was controversial, the other was tactical choice, and like Zuo Li tonight, he made accurate and many penalties, which was the first time in the finals.

Afterwards, Zuo Li steadily made his 41st free throw. He made 41 of 34 free throws in the game and scored 34 points in free throws alone. This is also a new history of the playoffs.

"mvp!" "mvp!" "mvp!"

The fans at the scene gave Zuo Li the best shout, and Spike Lee acted as the leader, while shouting and winking at Nicholson not far away.

Nicholson couldn't see it anymore, and he was helpless. The Lakers played three good quarters in this game. Until the first half of the fourth quarter, the Lakers held the lead. Kobe scored 30 points in three quarters. His state was bursting, but , There are really too many fouls!

Mbenga, Bynum, Odom, the three insiders were sent off one after another. Gasol with 5 fouls and Artest with 4 fouls were left on the field. Almost all the defenders on the left were gone. This also made the Lakers unable to resist the Knicks' offense in the second half of the fourth quarter, and finally collapsed.

From the 6th minute to the 11th minute, 15-5, the Knicks played a small climax and opened the score in one fell swoop.

After Zuo Li scored these two free throws, the point difference was close to 10 points, but there was only one minute left in the time.

Everyone knows that the Lakers are gone in this game.

Kobe still did not give up. He stood up and held the team on his shoulders, scoring 7 points in a row, but there was no barrier inside. In vain.

114-107, the Knicks beat the Lakers by 7 points, defended their first home court, and turned the big score of the finals into 1-0!

左立全场44分钟，8次出手，命中一个三分，4个两分，罚球41罚34中…砍下45分17篮板其中7前场篮板，5封盖3助攻1抢断。

This is the second time in the playoffs of Zuo Li's career that he has passed 40 free throws in a single game, and it is also the first time in the finals.

At the same time, the audience stood on the left and caused 25 fouls by the opponent, surpassing Ao Pang and ranking first in history.

The two teams made free throws 58-28 in the whole game, with a difference of as many as 30 free throws. This is also the largest difference in the number of free throws in a single game in the history of the finals.

A record-breaking Zuo Li led the team to a good start in the finals, and at the same time allowed Kobe to return without success with 39 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Knicks had Randolph with 14 points and 7 rebounds, David Lee with 10 points, Dragic with 7 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, Ke Liu with 8 points, and Curry with 9 points and 7 assists.

The first finals of Curry's life is considered complete. After all, the rookie game is the finals. Although the data is average, it is also a good start.

For the Lakers, Gasol had 14 points and 4 rebounds, Bynum had 4 points and 3 rebounds, Lamar Odom had 10 points, Artest had 15 points, and Fisher had 7 points.

From the data point of view, such a defense is self-defeating martial arts, and the three high pressures did not gain an advantage at all.

After the game, media from all over the world rushed to report on this somewhat unusual game.

According to past experience, it is inevitable that a game with such a large free throw gap will cause controversy, but this game is unexpected. Except for the Los Angeles media, no media thinks there is anything wrong with free throws.

According to ESPN: "The Los Angeles people have played themselves into it."

Originally, if you stand up and fight normally, the Lakers may not win. After all, in terms of physical fitness and experience, the Lakers have an absolute advantage, but they decided to use hand-to-hand combat, which they are not very good at, to give Nick If the intensity goes up, isn't this a mess.

Do you think that everyone can do the upper strength?

The Celtics and the Knicks fought 7 games, and the intensity of each game was not low, but they controlled the number of fouls very well. In the final analysis, the insiders are Garnett, Perkins, Tony Allen, Rondo, etc. Defending the gate is a talent in itself.

Except for Kobe and Artest, everyone else here is not good at defense. If you have to blindly increase your strength, isn't this taking advantage of your weaknesses and avoiding your strengths?

Moreover, this fierce action against Zuo Li made everyone very dissatisfied.

So after the game, the media praised Zuo Li for being smart, saying that he successfully cracked the Lakers' fierce style of play, which is worth learning from.

And Barkley also called Zuo Li a "master of fouls", thinking that this skill is also a hidden weapon in Zuo Li's arsenal.

And the Zen master didn't make any excuses, he admitted his mistake in tactics and praised Zuo Li very much.

"Zuo Li is a smart man. He uses his brain to play. In fact, our tactics have succeeded more than half, but I didn't expect Zuo Li to deal with it so well."

Zen master did not forget to put pressure on the referee: "Actually, I think Zuo Li's last foul is worthy of scrutiny. The referee should see who is deliberately committing the foul."

This remark also aroused ridicule from the Knicks fans. After all, you are allowed to foul, but you are not allowed to make fouls. This is too much a double standard.

However, Zuo Li thinks what Zen Master said before is very reasonable, that is, the tactic itself is quite successful. If Zuo Li didn't have such reserves, he might have been succeeded by the Lakers.

At the same time, Zuo Li also paid more attention to the upcoming games. Zen master's tactical reserves were more abundant than he thought.
