Chapter 188 The Miracle of 10 Offensive Rebounds in Halftime
12-6.
The Knicks got off to a fantastic start.
Who would have thought that it would start like this when it started better than anyone else. The Cavaliers, who are highly optimistic about the outside world, turned out to be the one behind.
What makes the Cavaliers dumbfounded is that their shooting percentage is obviously higher than that of the Knicks. At the beginning, Mo William Moss missed a three-pointer. James made all three shots, and the shooting percentage was 100%.
On the other hand, for the Knicks, Ke Liu missed two three-pointers alone, and Duhon also missed one. A total of 5 three-pointers were made 2 of [-].
But it happens that the Knicks lead!
What does this story tell us?
Barkley tells you: "The rebounder wins the world!"
Zuo Li has already got four rebounds, three of which are offensive rebounds. This start is almost soft with rebounds. With such a center, the shooting percentage is an illusion.
"Pay attention to protecting the rebounds!" James is a little angry now, half because he didn't block Zuo Liqi, and half because he was angry with his trash teammates inside. He lost three offensive rebounds at the beginning, and he still has fun!
"Okay!" Big Z said bravely. At the same time, he found the team's power forward Gibson and asked him to help him defend.
Gibson reluctantly agreed.
But in the next round, the Cavaliers attacked, and Chandler couldn't resist James, but this time Zuo Li kept watching James' movements, and the moment he got up, Zuo Li directly rushed out.
This time James didn't pass the ball, but he had to raise his shot point to prevent being blocked. He wanted to rush up and force a foul, which is also one of James' main scoring methods.
But Zuo Li's blocking is very clean, with almost no downward movement, just relying on his wingspan and bounce. This blocking method is the least technical, but it is also the most hopeless...
Not surprisingly, the shooting percentage of James who was forced to shoot outside the penalty area was not high. After the ball hit the board, it popped up, but at the basket, Gibson got stuck in Randolph's position, and the big Z was next to him. The Cavaliers seemed to be far away My first offensive rebound is very close!
However, Zuo Li, who had landed on the ground, had almost no observation position, so he jumped up for the second time. In the air, he even reached the basketball before Big Z, and the basketball was re-deployed to mid-air.
Then stand left and adjust the position and jump up three times to control the rebound!
It's too bloody.
So brutal!
Jumped three times, blocked James' shot, rebounded, controlled the rebound...
A ground pass, the Knicks launched a fast break, Big Z followed two steps and couldn't keep up, because Zuo Li had already taken off. In his eyes, he ran on par with James. You must know that the height of the two is different. 14 cm!
In the end, Zuo Li attracted the defense and allowed Ke Liu to make a layup!
"Oh~!!! My God, Zuo Li completely played the two Cavaliers under the basket, and he protected the backcourt rebound." Smith was full of emotions at this moment!
"It's too slippery. Zuo Li's move is too slippery. It's just that his talent is better than yours, and he can jump higher than you. In fact, Zuo Li is not in the best rebounding position, but he can get it. If you don't accept it, Big Z can't help it. He's a pillar." Barkley exclaimed strangely.
Come on, Barkley also learned the pillars...
In the backcourt, Gibson spread his hands to Big Z: This is really not my problem...
Big Z is about to cry, he doesn't want to bully the elderly like this.
Another 4 minutes passed...
"Stop playing, stop playing." Big Z wanted to wave his hand and say to James, his lungs are already burning, and with this kind of physical exertion, it is already a bit difficult to jump up, not to mention grabbing rebounds.
On the other hand, Zuo Li still didn't respond, but seemed to be in good spirits, and Zuo Li had 8 rebounds in half a quarter, 5 of which were offensive rebounds, which is already an exaggerated number.
Big Z is resting on his knees in the paint. The Knicks are making a comeback. Tonight, the "blacksmiths" on the outside of the Knicks have found their confidence. Their shooting percentage was not high at the beginning, but they are very strong. They are probably nervous.
But after half a quarter, their self-confidence burst, because Zuo Li could always grab rebounds, which made them less and less hesitant to shoot.
Confidence, sometimes it will feed back the hit rate.
Why JR is a nerve knife.
Because although he is strong, he is confident, which leads to him always daring to throw the ball at critical moments, and often has miraculous effects, which is much better than people who wilt at critical moments.
The same is true for Ke Liu, he dares to throw it now when he has the opportunity, the ball left Li just entered the inside, Du Hong split the ball, Ke Liu got rid of the fallback, it was too difficult and was rejected by the basket.
But the bounce was too far, the big Z was too late, and James was in the opposite direction. At the critical moment, he stood on the left again, and jumped up in three steps to receive the rebound!
The sixth offensive rebound!
Then he stuffed it into Ke Liu's hand, and Ke Liu scored three points again.
scored!
"Let's beat the top!" Zuo Li and Ke Liu roared and hit their chests, and now Ke Liu was completely subdued by Zuo Li.
He realized that only by following Zuo Li can he display his strength!
26-12, the Knicks have led by 14 points.
When Mike Brown saw it, he hurriedly replaced Big Z with Big Ben Wallace. This substitution would have caused Zuo Li a headache in 04, but now, Big Ben can't move fast. How many, lack of offensive ability and low inside line.
Although in the first round, Big Ben received an assist from James to complete the dunk.
But in the next round, he was beaten by Zuo Li for a two-handed dunk.
Daben was a little confused, Zuo Li's great strength made him feel like returning to the 04 finals.
In the next round, Zuo Li got an offensive rebound in front of him and dunked himself!
Bang!
James' face was completely dark...
When Zuo Li was replaced with 2 minutes left in the quarter, the Cavaliers finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Zuo Li made all Knicks fans breathe a sigh of relief.
In this quarter, Zuo Li scored 11 rebounds, including 7 offensive rebounds, which was a wild stroke.
"The left standing is in great condition! The Cavaliers are blown inside!" Barkley said during the break.
"The Cavaliers should now find a way to solve the rebounding problem." Smith looked at the data and sighed.
But that's easier said than done.
In the second quarter, taking advantage of the left side, the Knicks did not have enough rotations. The Cavaliers recovered 3 points in 7 minutes. James was in a very good state tonight and made a three-pointer.
But turning his head and returning to the left, James' strong attack was restricted, and Zuo took another rebound. Just when Daben turned around and tried to return to the defense, the Knicks, Ke Liu and other left-handed assists, and the left-hander scored again. Jiao Duhong hit the iron with a three-pointer, and stood on the left with one arm to complete the dunk on the big head!
The 8th!
Less than halftime, Zuo Li's offensive rebounds were in double figures.
"Tonight, Zuo Li is even more Howard than Howard! No one can stop his output at the basket." A small fan shouted excitedly in the stands.
The old father next to him looks doting. His son likes centers, especially Howard. As a diehard New York loyalist, he feels that he needs to restore his son's aesthetics.
It seems to work well.
And Zuo Li did not disappoint the father. In the second quarter, Zuo Li was still a pillar of the sky. Big Z was knocked down after 3 minutes. Da Ben was also exhausted and out of breath. Li picked up a few rebounds.
And Zuo Li became more confident and smoother as he played more and more, his rebound count rose wildly, and soon reached 16 times, which is the number of rebounds in halftime.
The most exciting moment for all fans occurred when there was 1 minute left in the second quarter.
Chandler's mid-range strong shot was infected by James, and Zuo Li once again rushed to get the rebound in front of Big Z and took advantage of the opportunity to complete a second dunk under the basket. His offensive rebounds also reached a terrifying halftime 10 times!
