Chapter Eighty-Four: Counterpoint Anthony

Big anti-small, anti-burst release.

It's common sense.

Because large movement and footwork are a disadvantage compared to small ones, height and reach are advantages.

It is the best policy to attack the enemy's shortcomings with your own strengths.

However, Lance-Thomas is not really big, and Yifeng is not really small. Thomas, on the defensive side, has almost no advantage in the face of the easy wind of attack.

Since Thomas took the initiative to give up some shooting space, Yi Feng was not polite at all, and a step forward was followed by a step-back shot.

After the shot, Yi Feng, who scored 6 points in a row, narrowed the gap between the two teams to only 3 points!

After the start of the second quarter, he single-handedly launched a wave of 6:0 offense!

The score became 36:39! The Lakers are about to equalize the score!

On the sidelines of the Knicks bench, Fisher paced anxiously back and forth, eager to put on his own game. The substitute lineup not only couldn't defend against the opponent, but also didn't score for so long, which was really sad for him.

Fortunately, the Knicks also scored in the next offensive round, which eased the tension a little.

The goal was scored by Jerry Grant.

As a playmaker on the field, he has priority on the ball. After calling for an inside block, he broke through to the inside and scored a difficult goal.

Let's count his slight response to Yi Feng.

As a result, the difference returned to 5 points, and Fisher temporarily suppressed his restless heart.

The Knicks had such a hard time scoring, but in retrospect, the Lakers' offense was so sharp. Although the routine is simple, it is Yi Feng's individual ball-holding single, but it is unexpectedly effective, and no one can prevent the Knicks.

This time, Yi Feng scored under the basket, and the Knicks chose to foul.

He threw it at will, and he almost scored the ball, the soft feel of the hand, and the good sense of the basket position are amazing.

almost scored 2+1, which also made Lance-Thomas, who chose to foul, almost break out in a cold sweat.

Yi Feng hit two free throws steadily, and the score was rewritten to 38:41, and the difference between the two teams returned to 3 points again.

More than two minutes into the second quarter, Yi Feng scored 8 points alone!

Fisher knew that this game could not be played like this again. Yi Feng on the court now, facing the Knicks' bench lineup, is simply playing like a god.

After requesting a timeout, Fisher made an early change to the main lineup. On the Lakers' side, they also tacitly replaced the main force.

Of course, Yi Feng still did not sit on the sidelines to rest. Now the Lakers are still behind, and it is impossible for him to sit down and rest.

The Lakers' roster has been slightly adjusted, and instead of Nick Young at the No. 3 position, this year's rookie, Anthony Brown, has been used.

Although he is also named Anthony, he is actually very different from Anthony of the Knicks.

Entering the NBA as a second-round pick, Anthony Brown's growth path is clear, and his future goal is to become a qualified defensive engineer.

His own technical characteristics are also known for his defense.

Byron Scott asked him to come up as a rookie to defend Carmelo Anthony, not because he had high expectations, but because he hoped that it would take a little bit of Cameron Anthony's stamina and make his shooting percentage drop a little.

Anthony Brown's defense is good, but Cameron is a long-established superstar after all, and it's not something he can limit as a rookie.

And rookie rookies have always been the easiest targets to be bullied in the league, and jerky stunned greens are easy to be taught a lesson by experienced veterans.

Soon, Anthony Brown picked up two fouls on Carmelo Anthony and sent opponents to the free throw line twice.

At this time, there were 5 minutes and 39 seconds left in the second quarter, and the score between the two sides was 45:51, and the Lakers were still the trailing side. And after the main lineup returned, the score difference gradually widened.

Taking advantage of the dead-ball time when Carmelo Anthony scored the first free throw, the Lakers asked for a timeout.

Head coach Byron Scott made a lineup change after loudly reiterating the tactical points to his disciples. He moved Yi Feng to the other No. 3 position, asked him to play against Carmelo Anthony, and then kept Anthony Brown, who had two fouls in a few minutes on the court, on the court as a defensive sapper at the No. 2 position.

Although Anthony Brown has not made an inch of success since he came on the court, his role as a defensive sapper is destined for him not to take the ball from Yi Feng and is more willing to defend than Nick Young.

Now that the Lakers offense has an easy wind, everyone else has to defend with all their might. This is Scott's order to his disciples.

Taking over the task assigned by the head coach, Yi Feng did not feel the pressure, but was full of energy.

This is a test for him, and it is also an opportunity for him to surpass himself!

Face Cameron Anthony!

Defending such an offensive kaleidoscope in person, he will be hit by an unbeatable impact!

Then, what can he learn?

He himself was looking forward to it.

Compared to the offense, Carmelo Anthony's defense is not very good, or he usually does not play very well defensively.

Since he focuses on the offensive end, it is inevitable that there will be some slip-ups on the defensive end.

Therefore, when defending Yi Feng, he did not defend very fiercely.

Yi Feng held the ball and faced Carmelo Anthony in Anthony's signature triple threat pose.

Yi Feng is now the number one person in the league, and his killing performance on the court just now, so after he put on a triple threat, Anthony didn't dare to take it lightly.

Yi Feng knows that he has not many advantages against Anthony, and his explosiveness, speed and flexibility are the points he can use.

In other words, Yifeng needs more breakthroughs.

He didn't play false, the three threats were followed by a tentative step, and seeing that Anthony was still cautious to keep the distance between the two, Yi Feng broke through directly.

The first step of his breakthrough is so fast that in today's league, he can faintly rank in the top three.

Anthony's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately blocked it after reacting.

But Yi Feng didn't flinch this time, squeezed Anthony's strong figure, and forcibly broke into the inner line.

After being breached, Anthony only symbolically chased back, and after seeing Yi Feng jumping, he stopped.

I saw Yi Feng force his way through the gap between the two before Robin Lopez and Porzingis' defense arrived, jumped with both feet under the basket, and made a layup.

This goal made Yi Feng feel more confident, and he was more excited when defending Anthony.

He's not like Carmelo Anthony who doesn't give his best defensively.

Now he doesn't think about physical distribution at all, as long as he is on the court, he plans to give it his all, and he has to do his best at both offensive and defensive ends.

Although he works hard defensively, Anthony's offense is not something that can be defended by hard work.

The weight difference of more than 20 kilograms made Yi Feng suffer a lot when facing Anthony.

Anthony saw the tonnage gap between the two, and with the ball, he sat hard with his back inside, and Yi Feng was pushed to the basket by him!

Although he felt very aggrieved, Yi Feng really couldn't prevent such a back-to-back attack.

In the end, he was about to make a strong block under the basket, but Anthony pouted his ass, and then watched the opponent hit an easy layup.

Such an Anthony did not look like an offensive kaleidoscope at all, but like a scoundrel.

But he doesn't care about that, after so many years of career, he has long understood that on the basketball court, no matter what way he is used, scoring is king.

After the matchup, Yi Feng and Anthony each scored a goal, and the difference was still 6 points.

At 47:53, the Lakers were still suppressed by the Knicks.

Yi Feng looked at the scoreboard, gritted his teeth and continued to rush Anthony, scoring another goal under the basket.

Looking back, Anthony returned the ball in the same way.

Just when Yi Feng thought that the game would continue in such a way of scoring one goal per person, he found that the other party was not playing with him.

When he broke through Anthony again with the ball, the Knicks' bag quickly came up.

His breakthrough was delayed at once, and Anthony caught up with him. Yi Feng, who was unprepared, suddenly fell into the encirclement of the Knicks.

Yi Feng, who played most of the second quarter without an assist, only then did he remember that he still had teammates. He collected the ball and looked around for his teammates, only to have the ball cut off by José Calderón.

Anthony controlled the ball cut by his teammates, did not rush to play a fast attack, slowly dribbled through the half, and turned into a positional battle.

Yi Feng, who made a mistake, was annoyed at the same time, but also wanted to find a way back on the defensive end.

He didn't know why the Knicks suddenly changed their defense, but he didn't mean to ask his teammates to help defend Anthony.

Anthony faced Yi Feng's single defense, first took a few steps back to the basket, and just when Yi Feng was about to grit his teeth and die, he suddenly turned around and wanted to throw.

Yi Feng reacted quickly, seeing that Anthony was going to shoot, he didn't think much about it, he pounced on it with an arrow, and his handsome face showed a slightly hideous expression.

He's going to make up for his mistake with a block!

But Jiang is still old and spicy, Anthony didn't shoot, and after lighting Yi Feng up with a feint, the chicken thief leaned towards Yi Feng-

Beep!

The referee's whistle sounded in time.

But Anthony's follow-up isn't over yet. His shoulders were wide open, and his right hand hit the shot with an irregular position!

2+1!

Yi Feng was a little confused.

He made a mistake in the attack before, and chose to turn back and send another 2+1!

Carmelo Anthony smiled, "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!" ”

True to the name of the melon, Anthony's smile looks quite charming.

But in Yi Feng's opinion, this smile is not so happy.

Since he landed in the NBA, he has been smooth sailing, and he has never been taught to be a man in the game.

Today is the first time he has been educated by an old bird!

Soon, these humiliations aroused a stronger desire to attack in Yi Feng's heart. After Anthony hit the penalty and added a penalty, Yi Feng took the bottom line serve from the backcourt, ran all over the court, and smashed Huanglong!

After more than 5 people in a row, the violent deduction was successful!

After this Wei Shao-style goal, Yi Feng rarely raised his head to the sky on the court and roared.

At 51:58, the Lakers trailed by 7 points on the road.
