Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1004
Leading by 9 points in the first quarter, Tianhu started. According to the characteristics of the Knicks in the past few years, the winning rate of those who played the rhythm in the first quarter was as high as 88%, and Zuo Li sent 8 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, which was very efficient. , so the fans at the scene have already begun to think about the celebration after the game.
However, the development of the plot was far more magical than people imagined. Only two minutes into the second quarter, the 9-point advantage disappeared. Not only that, the culprit turned out to be “King of New York” Zuo Li!
“I’m convinced… why is it always a three-point tactic!!”
“The four little guys above can all shoot three-pointers, but you told me that this tactic is to let Zuo Li shoot?!”
“D’Antoni is crazy or Zuo Li is crazy, so you don’t want to win!”
“It’s really too stubborn. If you don’t enter for the first time, you can’t fight like this. I still trust Zuo Li too much.”
“Playing with snakes, I hope to play well next time.”
…
The fans expressed helplessness, and Barkley also gave his opinion: “Substitute.”
What the fans saw was that Zuo Li missed four consecutive three-pointers, and what he saw was not only the result but also the reason.
“The Mavericks’ defense is very experienced. After knowing the Knicks’ tactics, they obviously changed their defense. The left stand catches the ball because the gap is there for him, and he can’t do it without it.” Kenny Smith said.
“But that’s probably the Knicks’ play, because even so, the lefty’s ability to dribble into the lane enough, but he didn’t do it, so it’s probably the Knicks’ play…one big, four small, four small. They’re all feints.” O’Neill pointed out the problem straight to the point.
That’s right, this is the Knicks’ tactic. Let Zuo Li shoot the three-pointer. It stands to reason that he can definitely catch the opponent by surprise. The only problem is…
Did not invest.
“Sorry…my…”
D’Antoni called a timeout, and Zuo Li stretched out his hand in embarrassment. This was the first time in his career that he missed four consecutive shots.
As for why…he doesn’t know either!
Obviously his three-point value is close to super god, and he has killed the Quartet in training, but today… he just doesn’t feel like it!
“It seems that 98 is still not safe… A value is a value after all, and it is not a bug that hits 100% of the three. Once something is wrong, it will still be very embarrassing…” Zuo Li muttered to himself.
And D’Antoni didn’t blame Zuo Li, after all, three-pointers, feel, everyone has fluctuations, but he still made adjustments, let Zuo Li come down to rest first, and replaced David Lee and Anderson as partners inside and outside. Use Curry to match rookie Thompson, and put Danny Green in the third position.
However, although the players have changed, the style of play has not changed. It is still dominated by the outside line, and the speed is directly increased. Once the opportunity is seized, it will resolutely fight back.
The tactics were very good, and it was successful at the beginning. Curry broke through and scored 4 points in a row, but then, Curry came to the three-point line and started to hit the iron…
one…two…
Curry hit the iron with two consecutive three-pointers, but Old Kidd seized the opportunity to fight back.
Although Kidd can’t run anymore, his passing is as precise as a scalpel.
“SHIT, why is the Knicks’ outside touch so bad today!” Barkley was convinced. It was Zuo Li just now, and now it is Curry. The Knicks have made 6 consecutive three-pointers.
It only took 4 minutes and 35 seconds from leading by 9 points to trailing by 9 points. The situation on the field changed too quickly.
“You know, at this time, we should go inside, let Zuo Li, Randolph come back, the Mavericks’ inside line is still irresistible, don’t be obsessed with the outside line anymore.” O’Neal, who is a big center, said.
The Knicks really did the same. Lefty came up to score 2+1, and then assisted Randolph to complete a dunk. Although Dirk assisted Kidd to make a three-pointer, the Knicks still expanded the point difference.
In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, the point difference was still 2 points. The Knicks attacked and shouted Zuo Li’s name, and the Knicks also ran with all their strength. In the end, Zuo Li got the ball from the outside…
“It’s over…”
Looking at the left standing posture, Barkley closed his eyes in pain…
boom!
Zuo Li’s fifth three-point attempt tonight ended in failure again.
Terry, who got the rebound, quickly counterattacked and scored the buzzer.
52-56, the Mavericks ended the first half with a 4-point advantage.
And this… is also the most recent point difference between the two sides in this game.
In the second half, the Knicks, who were obsessed with three-pointers, made an embarrassing record of 4 of 20 shots, while the Mavericks played steadily, taking the game away with a wave of 14-0 in the third quarter.
110-94, the Mavericks took the victory by 16 points and got a good start to the new season.
The Knicks suffered an embarrassing opening. Since Zuo Li joined, they lost the opening game for the first time in four years, and also lost the Christmas game for the first time in three years.
The reason for the loss does not require expert analysis, and any fan can understand it.
The Knicks threw 33 three-pointers, three more than twice as many as the opposing Mavericks, but only made seven shots, and the shooting percentage was only 21.2%, while the Mavericks made 6 of 15 three-pointers. The hit rate is 40%.
This gap is really too great.
This also caused the Knicks to be criticized by many people. Barkley said angrily: “Why are the Knicks so obsessed with three-pointers!”
And O’Neill thinks that Zuo Li was badly taught by D’Antoni: “Zuo Li is the most talented center I have ever seen. Five hits and he was out there most of the time, doing a job he wasn’t familiar with.”
O’Neal’s opinion is also the opinion of the fans. Many fans are crazy about D’Antoni after losing, thinking that his tactics are too bad.
Zuo Li made 2 of 12 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, but his shooting percentage was very poor. Zuo Li, who fell below 50% for the first time in three seasons, also received a lot of ridicule and criticism. Heizi Their faces burst into laughter.
“Want to guard against Zuo Li? Don’t worry, he will make a move himself!”
“See it, learn it. In the future, when you meet Zuo Li, just defend like this and let him go at the three-point line. As long as he shoots a three-pointer, victory is already beckoning to you!”
“It’s Chinese New Year guys, the Knicks lost, Zuo Lila lost, I knew it would be like this, the original team still wants to build a dynasty? Do you think you are Michael Jordan?”
“The Knicks probably won’t do well this season. It’s hopeless to play like this.”
“Unfortunately, the best player on the outside is the rookie Klay Thompson who scored 7 points in 3 of 4. The others are really eye-catching.”
…
Disappointed, helpless, gloating…
Some people even began to look down on the Knicks’ season prospects. Heizi, who had disappeared all summer, made a comeback again. Many experts also said that the Knicks need to rethink tactical issues, and even suggested a coaching change…
The first game of the Christmas game made the fans explode. Although the result was unexpected, the goal of the league was also achieved.
This heat is invincible.
