Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Why is it so hard to beat the Knicks? step

This is a common problem for fans and industry insiders all over the world in the past few years, and it is also a common problem for the other 29 teams in the entire NBA league.

There are many answers.

Just open a few basketball forums or social networking sites, and do a simple search, and there will always be many seemingly reliable answers.

For example: the coaching team is strong, the team structure is reasonable, the tactics are novel and complete, the players are united, the management's IQ has returned, the draft luck is overwhelming, and so on.

And so on.

Everyone has everyone's ideas, and no one statement can fully summarize the reasons for the Knicks' success.

But there is a reason, which is recognized by people who discuss this issue all over the world. step

That is: The Knicks have a lefty.

All the changes started when Zuo Li landed in the Knicks. Since that year, the Knicks have not missed the finals. Since then, the Knicks have broken more records than in previous decades.

And Zuo Li plays too much role, here we simply omit 5000 words, just need to know, without Zuo Li, there would be no current Knicks.

This is the standard answer to why it is difficult to beat the Knicks.

Over the past few years, various teams have adopted various methods to target the left side, including but not limited to: Shark hacking tactics, Jordan's rule, zone defense, tight marking, full-court flanking...

The people who defend him are from the first position to the fifth position.

But no matter how he defended, the final result seemed to be that he couldn't escape being blown up by Zuo Li. step

According to statistics, in the four years since entering the league, there are only a handful of left-handed games with less than 20 points in a single game, and it is almost impossible to find games with less than 20 points and losses in a single game. Sure enough, only his teammates.

In the past four years, Zuo Li scored very well in a single game, and the proportion of high-segment scoring is also the first in the league. He has scored 70+ in a single game twice, and even had a quadruple double in a single game twice. Bet 50% only 2 times.

This means that no matter what kind of defense he faces, he can easily deal with it. Most of his scoring depends on his own feel and state, and there are only a handful of times when he is not in good state.

This leaves teammates with nothing to do. It's not that there are no teams that push the Knicks into a corner. Many times they adopt isolation tactics to prevent the rest of the Knicks from playing and take the lead. However, it was later discovered that such an effect might not be very good, because Zuo Li alone was more violent than his four teammates combined. Remember the three overtimes of the finals that year, the Lakers were about to collapse!

Of course, if someone can completely suppress Zuo Li and win against Biao, there is a chance, but after so long, no one has been able to do it.

On the one hand, Zuo Li is strong enough, has too many scoring methods, and his golf quotient is too high. On the other hand, the Knicks are very strong in protecting Zuo Li. For Biao, but Battier, Danny Green, and Beverly made trouble for him in turn, and Zuo Li had no one to restrain him.

So many people said: "If you want to win the Knicks, you must first pray. I pray that Zuo Li will feel bad tonight. Only in this way can you have a chance."

Today, Thunder seems to have waited!

It is not surprising that Zuo Li scored 9 points in a single quarter. What is surprising is his scoring efficiency. During the break, Barkley asked his soul: "How long has it been since you saw Zuo Li hit less than 50%?"

Yes, how long has it been...

O'Neill recalled, anyway, Zuo Li looked like a "beast" when he blew himself up...

"The Knicks fell behind in this quarter. This is the second time the Knicks have fallen behind in the first quarter of this playoffs, and the difference is also the largest."

"The more serious problem is that the problem this time is not anyone else in the Knicks, but the absolute core of the Knicks, lefty. Of course, lefty is passable by only looking at scoring, but his efficiency has dropped significantly, and the decline Great!"

"This casts a shadow over the Knicks... In the past, no matter what other people did, how inaccurate their shots, or how many mistakes they should have made, you could continue to trust the Knicks because Zuo Li would stand up. "Tap

"But now, the one who can't do it has become Zuo Li, who can stand up?"

Kenny Smith said.

"The Thunder's best opportunity has come!"

Yes, the Thunder is no different from the previous game, defending well and attacking hard.

However, they waited for the time when Zuo Li felt bad, and they had a break during the festival, and Brooks had already learned the news.

Yes, it's that fast. NBA analysts are exaggerating. Through the video of the first quarter, they quickly analyzed that the left standing state is not good, the body is soft, and the strength is limited.

ecstasy! step

Brooks' hands were about to tremble, finally...had he finally let himself wait!

"Attack! Oh no, defense! Wild defense! Zuo Li is not in good health, give him strength, make him feel tired, tired you know!" Brooks was a little incoherent.

Fortunately, the Thunder understood, and Fisher acted as an interpreter: "The coach means to let Durant, Westbrook attack, Harden organize, Ibaka, and Perkins give the left column strength. take the necessary measures when necessary.”

Durant gave a thumbs up. As expected of an old fish, he just has experience.

"Yes, that's what it means! Our chance has come, do you understand, Zuo Li, he doesn't feel good, he's not in good shape, this is our chance to win, do you understand? Next! We're going back to New York! We're going to fight for the championship! The goddess of victory is right in front of our eyes!!" Brooks let himself go. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Durant: "..."

Westbrook: "..."

Harden: "..."

I'm a little worried about the coach's mental state...

They looked at Fisher.

Fisher shrugged and took a deep breath: "Kick the New Yorkers in the ass!"

Durant, Westbrook, Harden: "..."

Did the coach mean that just now? ? ?

But it's not important, what's important is that they know that their opportunity has come! step

Full impact!

In the second quarter, the Thunder started Brooks' secret technique - XJBD, regardless of tactics, regardless of people, just do it with the ball!

Don't say it, it's really useful!

Facts have proved that the Thunder is suitable for this style of play. Harden controls the ball, Westbrook, Durant one left and one right, which has formed a huge impact on the Knicks defense. Take the general challenge left stand.

Although this quarter gave Zuo Li three blocks and doubled the number of turnovers compared to the first quarter, he still had a 16-point advantage at halftime!

"COMEON!" Westbrook, who left the court, opened his arms in celebration, and Durant also left the court with a smile.

The Thunder appear to be winning. step

The camera is aimed at the next channel, and the Knicks seem to be getting closer and closer to their first loss in the playoffs.
