The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Who could have imagined that?

The second game of the finals turned out to be like this.

After the first game, the media who announced in advance that the Lakers had won and would still sweep the championship lost their voices collectively. They couldn't believe that G2 would be beaten back by the Knicks, and they still led the game without giving the Lakers any chance to comeback. Down.

"YES!"

As the game whistle sounded, Zuo Lizhi, who played 45 and a half minutes, flew straight into the Knicks bench crowd, and was surrounded by several big men.

But Zuo Li is not only for celebration, but also for the protection of human body support.

He was really tired.

Although he is known for his physical strength, the explosion of the system has brought him a strong physique, and at the same time, he has unparalleled abilities in his body. You rarely see him tired in ordinary games. There are only a few people who touch it, and Ma Long, who was known as the "postman" who was almost never absent from work, is just mediocre.

But Zuo Li really gave his all in this game, because he did a lot more than Malone did back then.

It is not an easy task to straddle the offensive and defensive ends. On the offensive end, he scored 28 points with 19 of 4 shots, 2 of 14 three-pointers, and 10 of 50 free throws. This is the fifth in a single game in the NBA Finals. High score, also the only 5 players who can score 50+ in a single game in the finals, full of gold, second only to Jerry West's 53 points, Jordan's 55 points, Rick Barry's 55 points and Baylor's 61 points.

This is no longer something ordinary people can do.

On the defensive end, Zuo Li did not relax because of his involvement in the offense. He mainly defended Gasol in this game, which is also the biggest reason for the Knicks' success in winning. His long arms made Gasol very passive throughout the game, and his support was also direct. Failed, except for the classic dunk, Gasol only scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, which was directly cut in half compared with the first game.

In addition to the data, the most intuitive performance is that Kobe must use more difficult moves to end the offense. This has rarely happened in Gasol's two seasons. There are obviously too many offenses without the ball. It is basically a stereotype that Kobe is still dribbling alone.

But this time, Kobe did basically go it alone, because he couldn't get Gasol's help, and that's what he had to do.

Of course, just like this, Kobe also scored 36 points. I have to say that Kobe's personal strength is really the only one on the court at this time. No wonder Popovich once said that if you want to beat the Lakers, you must beat everyone except Kobe. Let Kobe fall into isolation and miss, so that there is a chance of victory, and it is true.

The 15 rebounds and 5 blocks contributed by Zuo Li's defensive end are also very good, both of which are the highest in the game. His blocks alone are more than the Lakers' three. This is not dominance but dominance.

And the biggest problem brought about by this is physical fitness, Zuo Li is really boring.

After the game, some New York media regretted that Zuo Li only scored 18 points in the second half. After all, the left hand feels good to the naked eye, but anyone who has seen the time distribution of Zuo Li’s missed shots knows that Zuo Li’s last goal In the first quarter, he missed 5 shots, which was more than the sum of the first three quarters. This is the impact of physical fitness, so Zuo Li really couldn't be more satisfied with his own data.

And they won, it was worth all the energy they put in!

So Zuo Li and his teammates celebrated wantonly, and then quickly slipped back to the locker room, it's time to return to the home court!

"Let's congratulate the Knicks!"

"They pulled their teeth out of Staples Center!"

"Fantasy as a surprise, graceful as a dragon, Zuo Li led the team to stage an impossible counterattack. This game shattered people's doubts. The Knicks have not surrendered yet, and they even regained their home court advantage!"

"In the finals, the Lakers vs. Knicks, the total score of the series is now 1-1!"

At the same time, the passionate voices of the commentators spread across the country through various channels.

And Barkley also saw the moving scene of Zuo Li being helped back to the player channel and said bluntly: "Zuo Li is admirable. He gave everything for the team. He deserves this victory. He deserves it. He is a phenomenal player, oh no, a star. There is no doubt that he has entered the ranks of league superstars with 50 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in a single game in the finals. He is the best insider of this era, even enough to be the same as the original Compared with several other players in the 90s, Oban may be stronger than me now, after all, this Knicks, I am not sure to achieve such an achievement."

And Kenny Smith also apologized to Zuo Li and the Knicks. He admitted that he underestimated the team. Of course, he also affirmed the impact of Randolph's comeback on the Knicks, and praised Randolph's performance.

"Zach's comeback is obviously beyond our expectations. We underestimated him before, and here he deserves our praise."

That's right, Randolph was an invisible hero in this game. Although he only scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, it was his presence that liberated Zuo Li and allowed Zuo Li to play his best performance in a few games.

Kenny knew it, and everyone in the Knicks knew it too. D'Antoni praised Randolph after the game, thinking that Zach was the main contributor to the Knicks' victory.

Zuo Li was even more generous in the interview: "Zach is great. He knows what he needs to do on the court. He is our anchor. He is very important to the team."

And because Zuo Li's power consumption was too high, Randolph was simply asked to go to the press conference instead of Zuo Li, which really made the reporter shiver.

They have never seen someone who scored 50 points in the finals and did not go to the press conference. This is simply capricious!

But they also have to admit that Zuo Li has the confidence to be willful now.

After this game, the New Yorkers who won the finals again after 10 years were all blown away. Zuo Li is now a big hero in New York, a proper human name card, and a new symbol of New York. Even if he doesn’t go At the press conference and after the game, the reporters all wrote news about Zuo Li, whoever let Zuo Li play would be the best.

However, the enthusiasm of this trend seems to be beyond the expectations of many people...

After getting off the plane, Zuo Li, who was chatting and bragging with his teammates and holding his mobile phone in his left hand to send text messages to Aomei, was surrounded by reporters outside the airport.

Zuo Li: "???"

Good guy, you don't need to sleep in the middle of the night, don't you? Besides, I just escaped from the reporters in Los Angeles, why are there still a bunch of them here!

But there is no way, even if it is not for the reporters, it has to be for the fans. The lights outside the New York airport in the middle of the night are brighter than during the day. Thousands of fans are waiting outside the airport with enthusiasm. This kind of scene really scares the reporters. Stop it, because this is New York, and the fans are famously difficult to deal with. This kind of scene has never happened before.

Seeing Zuo Li coming out, the scene immediately became agitated. Enthusiastic fans shouted Zuo Li's name, which was mixed with Chinese, English, and even Korean, because Smecta was really hard to hear.

Zuo Li took a closer look, black, yellow, white, and three-color races were gathered, and even Chinese groups accounted for a large part. They were very enthusiastic and asked the airport security Alexander.

"Damn it, you are really a hero in New York now." Little Ewing said blankly.
