Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

Chapter 400: Forty-one points at halftime! new record

During the break in the first quarter, the North Shore Garden Arena was full of noise, boos, applause, cheers, the sound of which could be heard. If you listen carefully, you can also hear swear words mixed with various languages, as well as such as 'Niubi', 'Defying the sky', 'fake it' such words.

"This, you...I...he...No, I don't know what to say." The on-site commentator stumbled and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

All the cameras in the world are now focused on the Knicks' No. 0, the player who walked back to the bench while receiving wild congratulations from the Knicks players and coaches.

Oh, of course, the dog legs that handed towels, water, and massages were indispensable. The New York boss style was undoubtedly revealed.

But there is nothing wrong with all this. Zuo Li at this time is the most beautiful player on the field, no one!

27 points in a single quarter, this is the second-highest score in a single quarter in the playoffs since the NBA's complete statistics, second only to the 1987 nickname "Sleeper" Slippi Floyd in the Warriors and "Magic". "In Game 4 of the Lakers' finals led by Johnson, the Lakers scored 29 points in a row with 12 consecutive shots in the fourth quarter.

He surpassed Iverson's 26 points in a single quarter and tied Barkley, who was originally ranked second. He once also scored a high score of 27 points in a single quarter in the playoffs, which is the time when he got 50+.

At this time, Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines of the commentary box, obviously did not feel the sadness of the record being tied. He frantically called Zuo Li, thinking that Zuo Li played a phenomenal quarter.

"Perfect! Zuo Li has shown enough dominance. There is no doubt that this is the key battle for Zuo Li on the road to superstardom!" Barkley said.

"Actually, no one thinks that Zuo Li is not good enough anymore. Although he is a rookie, he has obviously entered the superstar level. His strength has been verified again tonight, and the Celtics have paid for their defensive tactics. ' Smith said.

"Kenny, how many points do you think Zuo Li can get tonight?" Barkley, who was calmer, turned his head and asked.

"It shouldn't be worse than you, right?" Smith teased with a smile.

In that year, Barkley scored 27 points in a single quarter in the playoffs. In the end, Barkley scored 56 points and 14 rebounds in this game, scoring a career high in the playoffs.

The 56 points ranked third in the league's playoff scoring list in a single game, second only to Jordan (63 points) and Baylor (61 points).

So Kenny Smith's sentence is not only a mockery of Barkley, but also a recognition of the left standing ability to score.

In a word, according to the performance in the first quarter, Zuo Li has been completely unable to stop!

And at this time, the difference is not big. Although the Celtics failed to defend Zuoli in the first quarter, the rest of the Knicks really didn't score, except Dragic's 2 points, which was Randolph's 3 points. The bench did not score a single point, scoring a total of 32 points in a single quarter.

Although the Celtics fell behind, they also scored 24 points in a single quarter and fell behind by 8 points, relying on Pierce, Ray Allen's scoring and 2 three-pointers from substitute Tony Allen in the later period. The problem is not too big, which also gives This gave Zuo Li the opportunity to continue to play.

Of course, it depends on whether the Celtics will continue their defense in the first quarter. You must know that Zuo Li has played like this, and many people attribute the reason to Rivers' employment. Perkins's single defense is really not good at all. Zuo Li kept calling pick-and-rolls, causing Perkins to be constantly consumed by Zuo Li for singles, so many fans of the Green Army felt that it was time to start the flanking attack.

In the second quarter, Zuo Li came off the bench in the 11th minute. The short one-minute break obviously did not bring any pressure to Zuo Li's feel. On the twelfth shot, Zuo Li made a 'rabbit jump' near the penalty area again. scored.

"Oh~!" The Knicks fans stood up and applauded in front of the TV, 12 of 12. Now their fun is to see when Zuo Li will miss the first ball of the game.

"Now Zuo Li's hand feels hotter than magma. He just let go. Now everyone is staring at him, and the rest of the Knicks are also looking for him no matter what!"

"Dragic breakthrough, pass!"

"Ah! Missed the shot, Zuo Li missed the first shot of the game, it was a three-pointer from the top of the arc, and the force was a bit strong. Kings is shaking! Get strong!"

"Enter!"

With Yu Jiaji's excited and regretful commentary, Zuo Li finally missed the first shot of the game. At this time, the second quarter had been played for 6 minutes, that is, during the full 18 minutes of the game, Zuo Li missed the first shot of the game. Not a single shot was missed, and the final streak remained at 14-for-14.

At present, Zuo Li, who missed one shot but scored a second offense, still maintains a super high hit rate of 15 of 16 shots.

Look at Rivers again...

"Defend! Give Lao Tzu a hard defense! Don't care, flank him, flank him, if you can't do it, you will be fouled, and the action will be bigger! Don't let him shoot f##k easily! I can't do it..."

Well, obviously there is no longer the calmness and calmness at the beginning. In front of the bench, he shouted and let the Celtics players defend and stand on the left.

But...the effect is average!

At this time, Zuo Li has completely entered the state. This state is very mysterious, but it is real. In Zuo Li's eyes, the basket at this time is as vast as the sea, and there is endless energy in his body!

Turn around, jump up, make up!

Roll over, hit hard, dunk!

In the face of the Celtic's brutal attack and foul attack, Zuo Li still showed no flaws, and the efficient scoring was still being staged.

Zuo Li was replaced by Randolph with one minute left in the second quarter~www.readwn.com~ At this point, he had scored 41 points.

41 points at halftime!

Zuo Li successfully surpassed the record of 34 points in a playoff half set by Vince Carter in 2001 and became the player with the most points in a playoff half.

This is the first halftime 40+ in the history of the NBA playoffs!

This is a record that Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan, Kobe, Iverson and other super scoring machines have not been able to break.

In this quarter, the left stand made 4 of 6 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 14 points.

15 of 17 shots in the half also set a new record for half-court shooting in the playoffs!

This was originally a very good result. There are not many people who can score 14 points in the playoffs in history, but for some reason, Celtics fans still feel relieved...

This is the defense works!

But actually the Celtics played very badly this quarter!

Because of the frantic attack on Zuoli, the rest of the Knicks have more opportunities to make shots, especially open shots. Randolph and David Lee have a 6 and a 5 in this quarter. Together with Zuoli, the Knicks have this opportunity. A single quarter score of 30-18 was played, and the difference was widened to 20 points at halftime.

Looking at this point difference, Knicks fans are both loving and afraid. What they love is that they have a high probability of winning this game, but they are afraid that Zuo Li will not be able to break a higher record because of this, and is currently on the scoring list in the playoffs. Only Jordan's 63 points and Elgin Baylor's 61 points exceeded 60 points in a single game. According to Zuoli's state in the first half, there is a great chance to touch this record, so I am a little worried about the Celtics. Sudden rotten.

But obviously, the people who are worried about this kind of problem are fans who don't know much about the Celtics. Even if they fall behind by 20 points, they will not be rotten!
