The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 1353 Now, You Are the Challengers

A friendly exchange.

The two of them walked into the stadium tacitly.

They both knew very well that from the moment they stepped into the stadium, their good relationship was put on hold. At this moment, there were only opponents and enemies!

The fight for the ball was tense.

Jordan Hill obviously knew the gap between himself and Zuo Li, so in order to avoid being beaten too badly, he had to take some other measures.

Trash talk and physical contact.

He was determined to interfere with Zuo Li in various ways and not become the team's weak link!

After all, as the only non-All-Star in the Lakers' starting lineup, Jordan Hill is under a lot of pressure, because whenever they lose, he will be pulled out for criticism. After all, the others are All-Stars, and you are just an average player, so who else should they criticize?

Although this is basically the case, Jordan Hill is often targeted by other teams as a weakness. For example, in the last round, Duncan and Split made him miserable. Fortunately, others were able to help him and he was spared the blame.

But in the finals, they faced the even stronger five-time champion New York Knicks, who had only lost once in the playoffs so far, and that was after leading 3-0, which was equivalent to a gentleman's sweep.

The Cavaliers, with their Big Four, could only win one game by relying on their home-court advantage. This series also gave the Lakers a great shock.

Many people can see that the Knicks are stronger than when they met in the regular season.

Whether it is offense or defense, positional melee or quick counterattack, the Knicks are flawless. Whether it is the coaching level or the lineup depth, whether it is the starting core or the bench substitutes, the Knicks have every member of the team as a team.

Overall, there doesn't seem to be any shortcomings.

And of course no one will question its strongest point.

Left stand.

From the regular season to the playoffs, the man who suffocated all opponents.

Jordan Hill watched all the videos of Zuo Li in the last round. To be honest, from an inside perspective, he found it a bit unbelievable.

He often felt that Zuo Li was messing around, but every time at this time Zuo Li was able to produce amazing and shocking results.

In other words, Zuo Li was not messing around, but... he couldn't understand...

Yes, he couldn’t understand Zuo Li’s operation.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to his confidence.

Everyone is Jordan in his own story, not to mention that his real name is Jordan.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been a child of destiny. He has crushed countless talents along the way to get to where he is today and become the starter of the Lakers, a championship-level team.

With this alone, he has already crushed 99% of the inside players.

Although he is considered the Lakers' biggest weakness...

However, even with his shortcomings, the fact that he can occupy a place here proves his strength.

However, he couldn't understand Zuo Li's operation...

He had a mental breakdown at one point.

However, in the end he chose to face reality.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, and Zuo Li is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses. To be honest, it is not shameful to lose to such a person.

But! Jordan Hill will not admit defeat. He wants to give the team the greatest help in his own way, and also use this way to announce to everyone: He is not a weak chicken!

To be honest, don't give up, recognize the gap, and have the courage to persevere. This is cool~

But sometimes, if you don’t work hard, you have no idea how big the gap is between you and others.

Zuo Li had no idea about Jordan Hill's psychological activities, he only knew that he needed to stand out in the finals.

The Lakers have four All-Stars, and there are also Jordan Clarkson, Marshall and other gangsters on the bench.

To be honest, it's very strong.

But the Knicks' substitutes definitely have the advantage, and Zuo Li is fully confident of this.

But the Lakers are the team that can best utilize their main players in this season's playoffs except for the Cavaliers. Among the four All-Stars, except for Gasol, the other four players all played for more than 40 minutes.

So fighting against them is the main theme of this round of finals.

The Knicks' backcourt is obviously facing a great test. Although Zuo Li thinks that Curry, Klay, Beverley and others are not a big problem, Rondo and Kobe on the opposite side are indeed tough enough.

If neither party encounters any accidents, the odds are basically 50-50.

The deciding factor is obviously the forward line, especially the inside line!

D'Antoni specifically talked to Zuo Li before the game. During the conversation, D'Antoni said: "Zuo Li, I know that you are a team-oriented guy. You spare no effort to support the younger generation and never compete for data. It can be seen that you are a natural leader."

"But it's different now. Now, we need you to step up."

"I know what you want to say." Coach De stopped Zuo Li's momentum:

"You must be saying that Curry and the others are very good and won't lose to Kobe."

“Indeed, they are very good and have made great progress this year.”

"But, we can't gamble!"

"Use your strongest point to attack your opponent's weakest point. This is what we should do."

"When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength!"

“This is what I read recently in a Chinese book.”

"So, this round, we need you. We need you to break through the opponent's defense!"

"You need to lead by example! Motivate your teammates!"

"Curry and the others are all looking at you!"

...

"bring it on."

Zuo Li on the field strengthened his belief.

Since coach D'Antoni wants him to be a lone wolf so much, then he will do it once!

He simply ignored Jordan Hill's small moves and trash talk. The only thing in his eyes was the basketball in the referee's hands.

"Game start!!"

Accompanied by the commentators' roars, Zuo Li soared into the air!

Jordan Hill jumped up and was dumbfounded because he only saw Zuo Li's chest...

Then he was stupid pro, because Zuo Li had landed, but he hadn’t!

"What kind of speed is this??? Cheating?!"

Then plus, Zuo Li rushed forward directly, and when he landed and turned around, Zuo Li was already at the three-point line. By the time he reached the three-point line, Zuo Li was already on the frame...

"A familiar dunk at the start! From the tacit connection between Curry and Zuo Li!"

"FUCK!"

Jordan Hill ran over just in time to serve, and ended up being a Porsche…

Because Zuo Li, who had just dunked, turned around and made a steal, Jordan Hill was directly intercepted. It looked like the ball was specially sent to Zuo Li!

Then Zuo Li jumped up and did a two-handed dunk!

"Meeting the full bow and full moon! Zuo Li! Steal and slam dunk!" Yu Jia shouted with his arms raised, and behind him were the shadows of tens of millions of excited Chinese fans.

Jordan Hill was stunned by these two rounds. He was a little afraid to serve. Fortunately, Kobe stepped forward to comfort him and warned his teammates: "Zuo Li is about to open the game. You all should focus! This is the finals!!"

Then Kobe decided to take one himself. These two shots seemed to be only 4 points, but with the terrifying atmosphere in Madison and the tension of the finals, the team might really collapse. He had to stand up and stabilize the morale!

However, his shot was blocked by Zuo Li. Although it was not blocked, Kobe failed to make the shot!

After landing, Zuo Li and Kobe made eye contact, and Kobe seemed to understand something from Zuo Li's eyes:

"Now, you are the challengers!"
