Chapter 232: A bloody battle is inevitable

The Knicks came away from winning 32 games with a win streak over the Green Shirts, just one step away from the Los Angeles Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

While the North Shore Gardens were silent, the Knicks players were cheering desperately for what they were doing this season.

Isn't it just about defeating a strong opponent, reaching the top of the league, and defending the title? And in the East, the Knicks' biggest enemy is not the Miami Heat, but the Green Shirts.

Now that they have finally won, how can they not cheer loudly. After Li Feng won this game, he also felt that a stone in his heart had been put down.

After the win over the Celtics, everyone in the Knicks felt excited and happy from the bottom of their hearts. In Boston, they began to celebrate.

The Knicks won against the Celtics, and it looked like nothing more than a regular season game.

But those who have watched this game, and those who have carefully analyzed this game, know that things are not so simple.

The Celtics are fully prepared, and the Knicks are also fully prepared, saying before the game that they will defeat the Celtics.

So in this game, both teams are fully adjusted, and it is a complete collision of absolute strength.

It's a clash of absolute strength, and neither side has any fancy, or maneuver.

That's it for the playoffs, and even the intensity of the finals.

Anyone who watched the game clearly saw that both teams were absolutely at full play. In this way, through the process of the competition, those who have a heart will find out.

After this game, the Knicks only made their efforts at the least, and the Celtics made their efforts in the third quarter.

This may seem like a bad deal, but it's actually quite a bit different.

The Celtics didn't do anything to the Knicks in the third quarter, and the Knicks killed the Celtics in a direct wave.

What does this mean?

This shows that the overall strength of the two teams has been divided into strong and weak. As a result, a lot of football reviews have been written in the media.

A new era of the Union has finally arrived. The league has gone through the Lakers dynasty. Spurs and Pistons. The Lakers and Celtics are battling each other, and now it's finally the league's turn for a new era. And this era is destined to belong to the Knicks.

Some people tout and praise Knicks so much in the media that they say that Knicks will be the overlord of the next era.

Knicks fans were naturally happy, and Miami was also immersed in joy. However, there are many other team fans and commentators who disagree with this statement.

The Knicks are indeed dignified. Beat Celtic in one game. And at this time, the old state of the Celts is also becoming more and more revealed.

But at this time, the Celtics are a bit like the Spurs of previous years, and you always feel that he is old, old, really old.

But they can still do well. You can even win the championship. The Celtics are in such a strange state.

Celtic fans immediately retorted:

"You can't say anything in one game, and you have to wait until the playoffs to decide the winners. Now it's just an ordinary game, and it's too blind and arrogant to call the Knicks to dominate an era. ”

Die-hard fans of other teams are also extremely dissatisfied with the Knicks' argument that they are competing for the league. A lot of fans said in the forum:

"This era is far from over, even if it is over. With the Heat, the Thunder, and the Lakers, it is simply impossible for the Knicks to dominate the league. ”

The Knicks originally only defeated the Celtics, but as soon as this argument that the Knicks dominated the league appeared.

Immediately, the whole alliance was noisy, and many people had opposing opinions about this.

But some celebrities who really know basketball well, after watching this game. All unanimously felt.

In terms of overall strength, the Knicks have now suppressed the Celtics. The Celtics have also begun to age in recent years.

Although they don't quite agree that the Knicks will dominate the league. However, they unanimously believe that the Knicks will become one of the strongest powerhouses in the league.

After the Knicks defeated the old bones of the Celtics, they basically had the bottom in their hearts. Not to mention that they can beat these old guys in every game, but they have a ruler in their hearts, and they know what standard they can play against the Celtics. Strength reached how to win against the Celtics.

The Knicks have a bottom for the Celtics, and the 32-game winning streak is actually a testament. The longest winning streak in the NBA is held by the Los Angeles Lakers, and it is very interesting that the next opponent of the Knicks is the Los Angeles Lakers.

This game is destined to be life-or-death, and the Los Angeles Lakers will do their best to maintain their team's honor and prevent the Knicks from equaling their team's winning streak.

And the Knicks, for the sake of a new record, in order to continue the winning streak, will not give an inch.

So now that the Knicks are in Los Angeles, it seems to be calm on the surface, but secretly it has made waves.

A lot of team professionals are starting to pay attention to this game, and before the game, many media outlets visited the Lakers up and down.

Hopefully get some talk about what the Lakers think of this game.

But the Lakers looked calm up and down, neither saying that they wanted to win, nor that they wanted to be waterproof, that is, that it was just an ordinary regular season.

Everyone in the Lakers says it's an ordinary regular season, but how can it be an ordinary game.

This game, no matter how the Lakers deal with it, is that the Lakers treat this game as an ordinary game.

It also has a certain significance, if the Lakers are really ordinary and don't do their best, they are hiding their strength, which is also an attitude and strategy.

But if the Lakers say so, the Knicks won't believe it.

Talking about an ordinary game, when it comes to the court, it is a real gun.

Phil Jackson didn't leave class this season, he didn't leave like he did in his previous life, and the Lakers' strength didn't drop much.

So when the Knicks dealt with reporters, they made it very clear.

We have to do everything we can to play this game. We've got to walk away with a win in Los Angeles.

The Knicks are so arrogant, and the Lakers fans in Los Angeles are a little angry, but the Lakers have no reaction. It's useless for fans to shout, this time even the Lakers' stubborn maniac Kobe Bryant said:

"It's just a normal game. We'll do our best. As for the winning streak. No one cares! ”

Kobe Bryant said so, and there really isn't much Lakers fans can do.

Before the game, everything was said to be false and real, and people couldn't see it clearly. A lot of media said that the Lakers would do their best in this game, and a lot of media said that the Lakers would not do their best.

The Lakers are very low-key at home, but the fans are not, and many Los Angeles stars know that this is a high-profile game.

When the game just started. There were so many stars gathered at the Staples Arena, and they all knew that this was also an opportunity to show their faces.

Among the many NBA teams, the Lakers are the team with the most star fans. A lot of Hollywood stars are Lakers fans.

I don't know if celebrities understand basketball or not, but I always feel that celebrities like the Lakers.

It's like something is popular in the fashion circle, so all the stars wear the same style of clothes.

Like the Lakers may be a bit fashionable for stars.

Although the Lakers said it was an ordinary game today, TNT still heard the wind and went to Staples Arena early to broadcast the game.

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith repeats a question that everyone asks:

"Charles. What do you think the Lakers will play in this game today? ”

Barkley was asked this kind of question by his partner, and he glanced at the other party with a grin:

"Kenny. I don't think you take this so seriously. You know, we understand what that's all about. ”

Kenny Smith was also a member of the championship team, and of course, Barkley we all know that the big ass had a bad fate and didn't win the championship.

But he also competed for the championship.

The two of them smiled at each other and did not answer this question directly, this mysterious style made the audience in front of the TV very dissatisfied.

At this point, the players from both teams finally came out, and nothing changed for the Lakers.

Point guard Blake, scoring guard Kobe, small forward Artest, power forward Gasol, center Bynum.

It only takes one glance to see that the Lakers' lineup is a bit top-heavy.

The interior line is very silted, and the point guard is a little unwanted.

Compared to the Lakers, the Knicks' roster is a little more average. Point guard Rose, scoring post-Harden, small forward Kirilenko, power forward Li Feng, center Monroe.

The Knicks' lineup has big shortcomings, although it is not consistent in terms of long-range shooting from the outside.

But it's fairly balanced, not as uneven as the Lakers.

As soon as the two teams appeared, Staples Arena cheered, and Los Angeles was not like Salt Lake City and Detroit, and the atmosphere of entertainment was very strong.

Amid the DJ's shouting, Li Feng slowly walked into the middle circle.

At this time, Lakers center Bynum also walked into the center circle.

Bynum is also a center with a unique position in the current league, and Bynum doesn't have that kind of thing to say absolute dominance.

However, Bynum is a rare good center in the era when the league lacks a center.

Tall and skillful, he is capable of handling all the basic duties of a centre-forward.

Whether it's a low-post offense, rebounding, or defense with a basket, it can be excellent. This is already a rare piece of the puzzle in the team, and Bynum has achieved a score of 20+10 this season.

In the face of such a Bynum, Li Feng, who is in charge of jumping the ball, is still not afraid.

Li Feng is different from Bynum, Li Feng is outstanding in some aspects, but he is average in basic skills.

The referee blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the sky. Bynum stretched out his arms and grabbed at it.

Bynum is tall, with long limbs and a short torso, which gives Bynum an advantage when it comes to scrambling for the ball.

However, when the lower limb is stuck in the low position, because the lower limb is too long, the force of the lower limb is insufficient.

Among the five positions on the court, the center position is the one that requires the most magical construction.

The lower limbs are too long and too thin, and the strength of the lower limbs is insufficient, so the low position cannot be pushed in, and the stuck position cannot be stuck.

The upper limb is too short. It's inconvenient to catch the ball. Grab a rebound and you will suffer. If you have a small hand, you will make a lot of mistakes. If the shoulders are too low, it will also affect the height of the raised arms.

The position of center forward is particularly demanding on the team's physical structure, and any slight physical shortcoming will make the center suffer a lot on the pitch hill.

Bynum had long limbs, and Li Feng hurriedly jumped at Bynum. Straightened his long arms and stretched out his arms to compete with Bynum for the rebound.

But maybe Bynum was shocked by the atmosphere at home today, and Li Feng's jump was a little earlier, and the basketball was actually clicked by him.

Blake got the basketball in the back. Controlling the tempo, he slowly advanced to the Knicks' half.

At this time, everyone's eyes widened, and they wanted to see how the Lakers were going to fight and whether the Lakers were going to fight hard.

Everyone was paying attention to the game, but Phil Jackson, who was on the sidelines, seemed to be none of his business, touching his beard on the sidelines and not looking at the court.

With Phil's attitude, Blake passed to Kobe Bryant in the half. Bryant was also untactical, and he wasn't very prepared. Pick up the basketball and take a step with the ball on the right side. Then he got up right away and came with a long-range jumper near the three-point line.

Kobe Bryant is so straightforward and simple. Untactically unprepared is a long-range jumper. So that many people are scratching their heads.

The fans can't understand it, Sposcola can't read it, and Li Feng on the field can't read it. Kobe Bryant understood to be aggressive when he was a child? Or a random vote.

Everyone didn't understand at all, but Li Feng immediately turned around. Because Kobe Bryant came so casually all of a sudden.

The basketball missed, and the bullet came back.

Today, the Lakers did not use Gasol to defend Li Feng, but used Bynum and Li Feng to play against each other.

It may be that Li Feng has been obsessed with low-post singles recently, and the Lakers think that Bynum is better than Gasol in the low post!

Li Feng immediately turned around and wanted to grab the rebound, but at this time, Li Feng felt that Bynum behind him actually pressed his arms directly in front of him with a swing of his shoulders.

Bynum wants to grab a rebound on his head?

This Li Feng can't let Bynum do this at will, Li Feng hurriedly took half a step back, and forcibly pushed Bynum out of the penalty area by relying on his body.

At this time, the basketball also fell, Li Feng thought that the basketball was his own, but when Li Feng stretched out his hand under the basket, a pair of snow-white arms were crossed in front of Li Feng.

Then I looked at the rebounding ball in Li Fengka's main position, which was actually taken away by Gasol. Li Feng was so angry that he finally got the position of the owner, and he actually let Gasol pick it up.

Li Feng was extremely depressed, he turned his head to look at Monroe, and Monroe just slapped Li Feng on the shoulder.

Monroe just shrugged his shoulders, but Li Feng was really depressed, this kind of thing of losing the rebound just because the card position was not good is really wronged.

Li Feng was depressed, just looking at Gasol under the basket, he grabbed the rebound in the front court and sighed insufficiently, picked up the basketball and threw it towards the basket.

This Li Feng finally couldn't stand it anymore, jumped up on the side, and wanted to block Gasol.

But Li Feng also jumped up, and he also found out.

Gasol used a left-handed throw, and he stood on Gasol's right.

In this way, he will not be able to touch Gasol's hand at all.

Then something happened that made Li Feng extremely depressed, Gasol shot his head and hit the basketball.

The fans in Los Angeles were delighted, and the Staples Arena was cheering.

But Li Feng was very depressed, he was repaired when he played today, the Lakers' two interior lines are really hateful, one scrambles for the ball, and the other immediately attacks lightly in the low post.

Li Feng was very depressed here, and after arriving at the half court in Los Angeles, he immediately pulled out to cover Kirilenko, who was holding the ball.

Doing this thing as a cover, it looks like anyone can do it, just pout your ass and stand on the court. But the reality is that some people do cover, teammates can easily get a chance to shoot, and some people do cover, which means that they don't do it, and anyone can squeeze through him.

Li Feng reached the high position and gave Kirilenko a quick cover. Artest, who was on the side, wanted to bypass Li Feng's side.

The Lakers' defensive blocking and dismantling obviously used the method of bypassing, so that Li Feng's body moved slightly when Artest walked beside him.

Li Feng moved so slightly, and lightly bumped into Artest.

Li Feng is a bit suspicious of moving to cover like this, which is equivalent to cheating secretly. But who isn't cheating on the pitch?

As soon as Li Feng hit Artest like this, Artest couldn't keep up with Kirilenko.

Compared with Kirilenko, Artest couldn't keep up, so Kirilenko's vacancy was too big.

Kirilenko rushed to the Lakers' restricted area in one step, and the Lakers' defensive strategy was actually very simple.

Lock the three-point line, don't let you shoot threes, lock the restricted area, don't let you break through, but I can let you shoot.

Now Kirilenko is squeezed into the Lakers' restricted area, which is tantamount to committing the Lakers' taboo. The Lakers' tall forward line immediately pounced on Kirilenko.

It's all multi-person defense, and the Lakers are different from the Celtics, who use one-man rotation defense, not a regional defense where forces are concentrated in the area.

Gasol immediately stood in the way of Kirilenko. Bynum beckoned from behind, which formed a very safe penalty area defense, and did not require too many troops.

AK47 is not Harden, he doesn't need to hesitate when he is experienced, and half-turns and throws it directly into the hands of Li Feng in the horn position.

Li Feng is tall and easy to receive the ball, Li Feng only needs to stand in the penalty area for a circle, and the target is much easier to find.

Li Feng got the basketball, and the first thing he saw was to find the position of his teammates, and when he got the ball, he raised it and prepared to pass it.

This role happened to be Gasol's role in the Lakers, and Gasol immediately moved in his heart and stretched out his hand to Li Feng.

Gasol came up to harass him, but what he didn't expect was that Kirilenko actually took advantage of his outstretched hand.

With a gentle push on himself, Kirilenko went straight to the basket. This time, Li Feng immediately made a ground pass with his left hand, and the basketball was sent directly behind Gasol, and Kirilenko took the ball and the overlord made a hard bow and pounced towards the basket.

If this action were done by ordinary people, it would be like giving Bynum a block, but this is Kirilenko, and he can't afford it with ordinary people.

Kirilenko rushed up against Bynum, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and wiped it on top of the basket.

Kirilenko came up like this, and Bynum was already in position to defend and put his hand on Kirilenko's arm.

But he still didn't stop, and Kirilenko made a resolute layup.

Kirilenko was stunned and knocked Bynum into the Lakers' hoop.

Kirilenko's tough offense completely confirms what the Knicks said before:

"We're just looking for a win. We have to win today's game. Kirilenko's actions show this determination.

The Knicks' previous substitute Kirilenko played so fiercely that Smith on the commentary bench was embarrassed.

But at this moment, Gasol lowered his head, and his head was full of strange ideas. Others only saw Kirilenko's tough layup, but Gasol saw the subtlety of Li Feng's pass just now.

The pass that Li Feng gave to Gasol just now was amazingly accurate in terms of timing, and it was even more amazing.

The route that was just able to pass the ball to Kirilenko was like that, and it was a test of passing techniques, and of all the passing techniques, only that method could be sent to Kirilenko.

But at that moment just now, Li Feng's assist, whether it was the timing of the pass or the way he passed, was completely just right.

Sure enough, Li Feng's average triple-double per game last season was genuine, such an all-round skill, Gasol was secretly vigilant, and at the same time remembered Li Feng's outside firepower, can Bynum really guard against him? Gasol was skeptical! (To be continued.) )
