After the Knicks adjusted slightly, they kicked off the sideline and played a tactical offense, and at this critical moment, the Knicks still pressed the treasure on Li Feng.

When Li Feng got the ball, the Knicks' tactical offense had completely torn apart the opponent's defense.

Li Feng faced Machado's solo defense at 45 degrees on the weak side, Machado as a defensive player, his style is tough and his temper is bursting, but both defensive skills and intelligence are a little worse.

Li Feng still has some understanding of this, so Li Feng immediately made a big turn feint after taking the ball.

Sure enough, the grumpy Macha ate Li Feng's trick more, and he quickly retreated backwards, but Li Feng just turned around and came back to the basket of the rocket in one step. The Rockets are playing a small lineup like this, so the space on the inside line is open, Li Feng got in, and there is a gap with a left-handed dribble Li Feng has shaken off Marcus Morrison.

Morris was not a master of defense in the first place, and even worse after the injury, Li Feng suddenly bypassed Morris when he was on the layup.

Harden flew diagonally from behind, and was about to block Li Feng.

Li Feng knew that Harden was unhappy with himself, he naturally would not give the other party such a chance, took the ball and shrank in the air, dodging Harden's block, and at the same time, Harden couldn't control himself and bumped into Li Feng, which Li Feng opened up at once in his body and licked the basketball towards the basket.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Li Feng hit Harden with a 2+1 score, and Li Feng immediately waved his fist vigorously, but Harden helplessly scolded the United States on the side.

Li Feng went to the free throw line and hit a steady free throw, so that the difference between the two teams was stretched to 5 points.

At this time, Reggie Miller couldn't help but say:

"Li Feng is still easy to use at a critical moment! You only get a score if you have a chance. ”

"Yes! Now Li Feng has become a fearless scorer. He's already the league's best player! ”

Bill Wharton was also amazed at this time, and the speed at which Li Feng rose like a comet really surprised many people.

The Rockets suffered such a big loss, and immediately counterattacked, wanting to eat the Knicks in one go.

But Douglas pushed in this way. The Knicks immediately organized a double bag and clamped Douglas to the sideline at once.

At this time, Douglas's ability to resist pressure will be tested, and if Douglas is not careful, the Rockets will suffer a counterattack from the Knicks.

In the middle of the pack, Douglas did not disappoint the Rockets fans, he passed a tricky one-handed pass directly to the receiving Harden.

Harden had a defender in front of him at this point, but he still stubbornly dribbled forward and then pulled up and threw a long-range shot.

Harden has the ability to shoot from a distance, but it's not the best option, and there is Thornton standing in front of him.

Harden shot the basket, and the Rockets finally failed to shoot on offense, which was equivalent to giving the Knicks a chance to counterattack.

This time, the Knicks took the ball and quickly hit the Rockets' half. originally wanted to score steadily to pull the score away again, but the Knicks also wasted an opportunity at this time.

Thornton, who was like a god in the first half, made a pig-like mistake at this time, when he passed the ball, he actually passed a hesitant and soft ball, and directly sent the ball in his hand to the hands of the rockets.

The Knicks' counterattack is certainly powerful, but the Rockets' counterattack is no worse than the Knicks.

Francis Garcia, who grabbed the basketball, took the ball and killed it in the Knicks' half, and Belinelli, who was in charge of defending Garcia, immediately turned back to add Sia, knowing that Garcia is a player with strong convulsive ability.

In this situation, Garcia made a quick escape move, and the ball was twisted from under the crotch. Got rid of Belineri all at once.

Garcia's projection is excellent, and his ball control is equally good, which is almost a unifying feature of this nerve knife.

After getting past Belineri, Garcia dribbled forward. Then suddenly he stepped back to the left, very beautiful possession, even more beautiful footwork, and the last was a clean shot.

"Brush!"

Francis Garcia has an extremely beautiful offensive approach. Scored two points cleanly. This time, the Knicks not only did not open the score, but were pulled closer to the score, and the momentum of the Rockets came back at this time.

Because Garcia's offense is simply beautiful. It's so beautiful that it's pleasing to the eye. With such a beautiful offense, the fans naturally want to cheer, and once the fans cheer on the sidelines, the atmosphere at the Rockets' home court will naturally heat up again.

The Knicks are in trouble again, and at this time their task is still to score, and they must hold down the morale of the Rockets, otherwise they will not be able to win.

The Knicks ran over, Li Feng took the ball and suddenly passed to Cousins, who ate Morris in the low post and scored two points immediately with a hook shot.

The Knicks' side only improved slightly on the offensive end, and when they knew that the Rockets would catch up immediately, Douglas picked up and quickly advanced at this time.

Immediately outside the three-point line, he made a pause feint, Dragic's pace paused, Douglas's rhythm immediately changed, a change of direction passed Dragic, and then the footsteps were smooth and suddenly plunged to the Knicks' basket for an easy layup.

Douglas has now come back with a one-on-one after back-to-back three-pointers. At this moment, Reggie Miller immediately cheered:

"Oh roar!"

Reggie Miller exclaimed in amazement, while Bill Wharton, who was on the side, said:

"Douglas was a game-changer in the third quarter today. It was completely decisive! ”

"Yes! Douglas is proving that he can play not only defensively, but also offensively. ”

At this time, the home court of the Rockets was also enthusiastic, and under the background of the home atmosphere, the morale of the whole Rockets team was high. Just look at McHale, who was sitting on the sidelines, he also became smiling.

Li Feng let go of his life and yelled like this, so that his teammates let go of the fight, and Dragic was bullied by Douglas more times, and this time he also came over, and immediately lowered his body and forced a breakthrough.

But he really couldn't easily break through Douglas's defense, he was blocked out all of a sudden, and could only break through half and pass the basketball to Li Feng on the 45-degree three-point line.

Li Feng took the ball on the three-point line, and when he took the ball and faced Cosby, he pulled it up directly to make a three-point shot.

Li Feng's three-point shot is fast. But in terms of rhythm, Cosby can't help Li Feng. Li Feng shot a three-point shot and hit it accurately.

"Brush!"

When the rocket was chasing wildly, Li Feng continued to provide fire support so that the team would not be overtaken.

Li Feng pulled back the team again, Reggie Miller and Bill Wharton don't say anything about Li Feng anymore!

This has now become something that Li Feng must be able to do.

But just as Li Feng finished shooting three points, Tyberdu shouted at Li Feng:

"Feng, you go defend Tony, now you have to suppress him!"

Li Feng understood what Tyberdu meant, at this time Douglas entered the state, and he must be pressed down with a strong defense, otherwise he is playing better and better, and his team will have no way to contain the opponent.

Li Feng thus succeeded in the attack. immediately went to defend Douglas, with Li Feng in front of Douglas, Douglas immediately felt the pressure, after all, Li Feng was taller than Dragic and fast, and Douglas felt a little uncomfortable as soon as he came up.

Douglas knew that Li Feng's health was good, and he didn't want to prove that he could beat Li Feng alone, he was already past this age.

But Thornton suddenly pounced on Douglas at this time, and Douglas immediately passed the ball to the basket as soon as he saw the opportunity, but he passed the ball on his side. Li Feng seemed to be an electric rabbit, and jumped to the side with a quick reaction, intercepting Douglas's pass at once.

Li Feng's ultra-fast interception made the Rockets exclaim at home, and Douglas also screamed in his heart.

"This can also be broken! The reaction was too fast. It's too fast! ”

Under normal circumstances, Douglas would not be broken if he passed the ball out of 100, but today he was cut off by Li Feng who violated common sense. Immediately Douglas was depressed!

Li Feng steals the basketball, turns around and passes the ball to Belineri, who advances with the ball. Quickly turned around and passed the ball to Dragic on the other side.

Dragic is open from beyond the three-point line, and at this time he also wants to shoot a refreshing three-pointer like his teammates.

But as soon as the basketball shot, the route was crooked and smashed directly onto the rebound. One of the Knicks' fast breaks was immediately buried.

With this opportunity, the Rockets immediately grabbed the rebound, and a counterattack was played, at which point Douglas became the offensive arrow again.

Now Li Feng's task is to defend him, so as soon as he saw Douglas take the ball, he immediately caught up and delayed, at this time Douglas saw that Li Feng was an obstacle in front of him, and he wanted to use his own strength to push Li Feng away with one shoulder, but Li Feng had nothing to do with this shoulder, Douglas lost his balance, Li Feng stretched out his hand a little, and snatched the basketball back.

Li Feng cut off Douglas's ball for the second time, turned around and rushed towards the Rockets' half, at this time Douglas decisively recovered the mistake behind Li Feng, and a foul pulled Li Feng back.

The Knicks lost the opportunity to fight back and could only go to the free throw line and hit two free throws to make up for it a little.

The Rockets chased the score to about 5 points in one go, and then there was some weakness, on the one hand, the Knicks strengthened their defense, on the one hand, because the Rockets are not gods, and the high shooting rate is also time-limited, not that the whole game can maintain a high shooting rate, if the Rockets have a high shooting rate throughout the game, then the championship will be them.

The two teams entered a stalemate, and the difference between the two teams remained at about 5 points from the beginning of the third quarter to the second half of the third quarter.

At this time, although the Knicks and the Rockets both want to get out of the current deadlock, the Knicks are defending strongly, and the Knicks are not attacking well.

So the two teams realized that there was no way to take each other for a while, and at this time both teams began to prepare for the substitution, because the third quarter was about to end, and it was time to prepare for the last quarter.

At this time, the Rockets rushed up quickly, and the Rockets' current lineup was a little unbearable after being pressed by the Knicks for several minutes.

Douglas took control of the ball, and as soon as Li Feng continued to put pressure on him, he immediately passed the ball to Garcia, who followed up at the same time, and Garcia took the ball and shook the Knicks immediately chased after him. At this time, Garcia could only make a quick pass to Cosby in the bottom corner.

Cassby's hand was not very good today, and now once he got the ball, Li Feng also pounced quickly.

At this time, even Li Feng made a mistake, when Cosby raised the basketball to make a feint.

Li Feng ate this feint. Li Feng jumped, so Cosby suddenly withdrew his hands, and his body tilted to let Li Feng fly over, and then he got up and threw a three-pointer again.

"Brush!"

Cosby's three-point shot cleanly drilled into the Knicks' basket, and the scores of the two teams were instantly rewritten to 80-78, and the Rockets got close to the Knicks with only two points.

At this time, Li Feng immediately came up and hit again, and when Li Feng broke through to form a rocket bag, Li Feng passed the ball to Thornton, who was in the empty position on the bottom line.

Thornton finally missed the baseline three-point shot at this time, and the Knicks showed a gap in one round. After running back, Douglas immediately came over and used Harden's cover to kill the baseline, and the Knicks rushed to kill Douglas.

Douglas quickly returned the basketball to Harden, who had performed decently before, and now once he got the basketball, he saw that the person who defended him changed to Cousins to form a small fight. He immediately dribbled twice in a row under the crotch, and just when Cousins couldn't react, Harden pulled up a three-pointer and shot again.

Harden's dry pull effect was not good before, but as soon as he shot this time, he saw the basketball get into the Knicks' basket cleanly.

Harden scored a three-pointer, and the Rockets finally overtook the score. All of a sudden, the Rockets' home court burst into cheers again.

Douglas also came over and hit Harden hard in the chest, and Harden himself yelled at the sidelines.

McHale wanted to make a substitution before, but now that the pumping momentum of this lineup is back, he immediately stopped making substitutions.

It's been a long time since the Knicks had this lead. Now that he was overtaken all of a sudden, the whole team was a little anxious. Turning around, Thornton didn't control himself, and when he grabbed the rebound, he was fouled.

After paying such a foul in vain, the ball was returned to the hands of the Rockets. At this time, the Rockets were in the midst of the cheers of the fans in the audience.

Douglas quickly came up, and now the momentum of the rocket showed signs of counterattack, and Li Feng immediately came to defend Douglas. Douglas was rational here, he couldn't look at Li Feng after shaking the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Harden on the weak side of the other side.

Harden took the ball in the bottom corner, and the Knicks' defense immediately saved him, but Harden turned around and passed to Garcia when he saw the bag, and Garcia was also a three-pointer, so when the Knicks quickly rotated and went to pounce on Garcia, Garcia made a return pass and sent the basketball to Harden in the bottom corner.

The Knicks just continued to pack, continuous pressing, and now the ball is faster than people, so Harden is empty in an instant. This kind of opportunity Harden won't let go, and it's a three-pointer when he gets up.

"Brush!"

Harden's three-pointer hit again, and this time the Rockets led the Knicks by four points at 85-81.

Instantly reversed, and then instantly opened up the point difference, the explosive power of the rocket's score is simply like a divine help.

Even the Knicks can only watch the opponent score at this time, because once the Rockets lineup explodes with a 3-point shot, there is really no way to defend.

With these two three-pointers, the Rockets caught up with the Knicks in one go, and their morale was also shocked.

You must know that the current lineup of the Rockets is a crazy offensive lineup, and such a lineup still relies on morale and luck.

Now that the Rockets have come to both, the team is a little crazy, and at this time, not to mention the Knicks, the Celtics, who have the best defense in the league, can't stop them.

The Rockets were like a crazy horse out of the reins, stretching the score to 92-85 in one breath before ending the third quarter.

The two teams scored high scores today, and the Rockets sent a death squad in the third quarter, and the crazy attack caught up in one breath, and overtook it.

In all fairness, the Knicks' offense today is really not bad, but the problem is that the Rockets' death squad is so crazy that ordinary people can't hold it down, and the Rockets used the death squad's play to finally overtake the score.

At the end of the third quarter, Bill Wharton also exclaimed:

"It's very difficult for the Rockets' scoring lineup not to score, and it seems that today's continuous scoring is their better performance."

Reggie Miller also said at this time:

"Yes! Rockets gave us a great show! What Harden wants to prove in front of the Knicks, everyone understands"

Reggie Miller used the word performance, which shows how well the Rockets played and how high the Rockets' shooting rate was.

But because the Rockets played so well in the third quarter, McHale made some mistakes. This Expendables lineup played well in the third quarter, but it was based on the team's high shooting percentage, and the three-point shots were almost all hit.

This hit rate is bound to not last, and now McHale is at a crossroads of choice.

At this time, whether to believe in the team's hand, continue to continue the Expendables lineup, or close some, these two options are tempting McHale at the same time.

At this time, Tyberdu is also hesitating whether to fight to the death squad of the rocket at this time, or continue his own style. Playing the death squad lineup, although the Knicks are not as rich as the other party, it is not impossible to play.

The game came to its worst moment, testing not only the players of both teams, but also the wisdom of the two managers in dealing with difficult problems. (To be continued......)
