Chapter 328: The Suffering of the Green Army
The Knicks have now played a terrifying 31-game winning streak, this momentum is still continuing, Tyberdu is very wise to rotate players, so that the Knicks' combat effectiveness continues well, if this is the case, Li Feng will leave the Knicks, I am afraid that even the membrane of Mr. Cang, who is both virtuous and artistic, is indeed still there!
But the media didn't care about this, the news of Li Feng's departure from the Knicks spread widely, in addition to the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers are still the object of scandal against Li Feng, who is the most fierce.
Mainly because of the recent discord between Andrew Bynum and the Lakers, the transfer rumors have become more and more fierce, in the eyes of the outside world, Bynum left the Lakers, as long as he is a heavyweight player in the league, he can be pulled over to make a news, and, in the eyes of the media, the "ability" of the Los Angeles Lakers is all over the sky, and even Gasol's kind of transaction can appear, what else can not be done?
At the same time, the Purple and Gold Army has a huge appeal for any young player, after all, the league's recognized giants, only the Green Shirts and the Purple and Gold Army, the New York Knicks at least not yet, coming to the Lakers means absolute attention and exposure.
Therefore, the media determined that once Bynum left the team and the Knicks could not renew Li Feng's contract, Li Feng would have no reason to refuse.
However, the Lakers are not very cold about the media's Lalang matching, after all, this news is too nonsense.
Lakers general manager Kupchak also just said lukewarmly:
"Li Feng is really a talented player and I admire him. However, he is still a player on the Knicks, and it is very unethical to associate him with the Los Angeles Lakers. Also, Andrew loves L.A. and we plan to give him more important roles. ”
……
The easy schedule of several consecutive games made the Knicks players extremely enjoyable, but the league is a strong team except for the weak team, a few days later. The New York Knicks are once again facing the challenge of old Eastern rivals Boston Celtics.
Ten o'clock in the evening. The official competition has finally begun. The two teams met at the historic North Shore Garden Course.
Boston's North Shore Gardens were completely full before the game. This course has witnessed countless glories, but also witnessed the loneliness of clover.
When the Celtics re-entered glory under the leadership of the Big Three. A lot of fans here are back.
Standing on this one-of-a-kind floor pitch has a heavy sense of history. This stadium is a place where legends are born, or rather, this stadium is a legend in itself.
Compare to Madison Shrine in New York. North Shore Gardens are at least more proud of their record.
The game attracted a lot of attention, and ESPN also focused on live-streaming today's game, so that Mark Jackson and Bill Wharton naturally sat on the courtside commentary box.
Amid the cacophony of cheers at the North Shore Gardens, the Knicks' lineup was the first to take the lead.
Point guard Rose, scoring guard Harden, small forward Kirilenko, power forward Li Feng, center Monroe.
AK47's recent performance earned them a starting opportunity in a crucial game, with Monroe also beating Cousins this time to start the game.
After the Knicks' lineup played. It's the Celtics' own soldiers, and the Bostonians certainly have to welcome their heroes with cheers.
The Celtics' lineup is point guard Rondo. Shooting guard Ray Allen, forward Pierce, power forward Garnett, center Bass.
The referee blew the whistle, and Li Feng walked into the middle circle, and Li Feng's opponent today was Bass first.
is still familiar with Bass Li Feng, so Li Feng stood confidently in the middle circle.
When the referee threw the basketball into the sky, Li Feng didn't even use all his strength to point the basketball into Rose's hands.
Rose got the basketball, and the court immediately became noisy, and Mark Jackson, who was in the commentary seat, also said:
"The game is finally going to start, and now we can finally see how the Celtics are going to play this game."
Mark Jackson here, as soon as the words fell, everyone on the Knicks' side knew the attitude of the Celtics.
As soon as Rose got the basketball, Rondo immediately stepped forward and grabbed Rose's basketball with extreme ferocity and aggression.
The Celtics came up to play this kind of intensity of defense, and Rose was really surprised that he was cut off by Rondo all of a sudden.
Less than 2 seconds into the game, the Celtics broke the ball, and the fans at North Shore Garden Stadium were so happy.
What about the Knicks' 31-game winning streak, it looks like they won't give up with the Celtics, and today is bound to be a battle between the dragon and the tiger.
Rondo got the basketball, turned around and ran towards the Knicks' basket, and saw that Rondo was sharp like a blade and cut to the Knicks' basket.
Li Feng didn't have time to defend at all, but what made Celtics fans feel a little puzzled was that Rondo had a chance to fight under the basket, but he didn't make a shot, but turned around and passed the basketball to Ray Allen, who followed up behind.
Suddenly, there was a sigh on the North Shore Garden Court, and Li Feng was also a little strange, why didn't this Rondo go to the basket by himself?
Many people have this question, and it was at this time that Bill Wharton solved this question for many doubters:
"Rondo thinks too much about this ball, whether it is Li Feng or Kirilenko, they are good blockers."
And only this can explain the reflection of Rondo.
Rondo was a little too cautious, but Ray Allen, who got the basketball later, was not cautious at all, and when he got the basketball, Ray Allen took advantage of the chaos to make a three-pointer and bombarded the basket directly towards the Knicks from outside the three-point line.
Ray Allen is so decisive and makes such a ruthless shot, the concentration of this shot is very high, and the concentration is high, and the shooting rate will be improved.
"Boom" was accompanied by a soft sound, and the three-point shot was shot by Ray Allen.
It started with a steal and a three-pointer, and the North Shore Garden Court was cheered and roared.
The enthusiasm of the Bostonians flooded the entire stadium, and by this time Mark Jackson was also in the commentary box and said:
"It seems that the Celtics are still going to fight today, and now that the Celtics are working so hard, it is impossible to give up."
Mark Jackson saw this, and everyone on the Knicks' side saw it.
was hit with a three-pointer at the beginning, and Tyberdu hurriedly rushed to the sidelines and shouted:
"Focus. Play as we laid out earlier. Focus all your attention on the court. ”
Tyberdeau is here to be afraid of the Knicks' players. Distracted by the changes in the Celtics.
At the sound of Tyberdeau's roar, Rose got the basketball directly in the backcourt and slowly advanced towards the Celtics' halfcourt.
Kirilenko pulled out to catch the ball and organized the team in high positions. Rose began to run.
The position of a striker is in a team, either mediocre and invisible, pure sappers, and odd jobs. Guerrilla leader.
Either it's a star and can do anything, it can be said that there are only two kinds of strikers, one is a pervert, and the other is a passerby.
Of course, neither Kirilenko nor Pierce were passers-by.
In terms of style of play, both men have very personal styles.
Now the two people are in the opposite position, because they are familiar with each other, so there is a kind of relaxed caution of old friends to old friends.
Pierce tried his best to stop Kirilenko in the middle, but Kirilenko got to the Celtic half. But it didn't pull desperately as usual. Instead, he gently lifted the basketball and hoisted it towards the Celtics' interior line.
Kirilenko acted like this, and Pierce was slightly stunned, because he had never played against Kirilenko who dropped the ball inward before.
Pierce was curious about Kirilenko's behavior, but when Pierce looked back, he understood.
At this time, Li Feng had already gotten the basketball in the far waist, the Knicks actually wanted to play the interior at the beginning, and the Green Shirts did not send Garnett to defend Li Feng when defending, but Bass, Li Feng vs. Bass, this is indeed a confrontation that can create opportunities.
Since Pierce saw Li Feng getting the ball here, he wanted to interfere with Li Feng, but at this time, Kirilenko ran quickly at the right time, and ran around behind Li Feng towards the weak side.
In this way, it was very simple to take Pierce away, and it was taken away from behind Li Feng, without disturbing Li Feng at all.
Clearing one side, Li Feng played Bass one-on-one, and at this time Li Feng decided to combine power and speed.
Li Feng controlled the ball with his left hand and dribbled two steps in a row towards the middle.
In these two steps, Li Feng didn't walk much, but his feet were very solid, and his body shook fiercely and rhythmically.
Bas was simply taken to the penalty area by Li Feng, and when he arrived here, Li Feng seemed to be a hot wheel, and he made a sharp turn.
The front is full of rhythm, and the back is fierce and fierce, and Bass was directly erased without any suspense under Li Feng's big turn.
Li Feng suddenly occupied the space under the basket, and with the ball in his left hand, he quickly dunked "bang" with one hand, and Li Feng directly gave the Celtics a dunk with lightning speed.
Li Feng easily cleaned up Bass on the first attack, and hit the Celtics' interior line solidly on the first position.
Suddenly, the North Shore Garden Course, which was still laughing and laughing just now, was a little quiet.
Rivers, who was standing on the sidelines, also shook his head gently, and Rivers knew before the game that Li Feng was a difficult player to deal with.
Li Feng's current attacks are simply a model of low-level offense, with no flaws in his skills, footsteps, and rhythm.
In this way, Rivers himself knew from the sidelines that he would need to make a bigger sacrifice to win today's game.
The Knicks actually hit Li Feng at the beginning, and Mark Jackson was a little surprised at first, but after seeing Li Feng's smooth performance in the low post.
Mark Jackson, obviously excited and proud, shouted from the commentary seat:
"Oh, look at it, how beautiful Li Feng's footsteps were in the low position just now, there was no sense of carving in the amount of strength, and the moment he turned around was really fast, a perfect low position, a perfect attack."
Mark Jackson shouted here, and Bill Wharton, who was on the side, immediately reminded Mark Jackson.
"Aren't you as supportive of the Green Shirts as I am?"
With that, Mark Jackson realized something. He smiled awkwardly and said:
"But I also hope that Li Feng will have a good performance."
When the Celtics pushed forward again, Rondo was very calm and pulled at the top of the arc, and then the Celtics' attack set the center of gravity very high. Garnett and Buss were both near the free-throw line, which left the basket empty.
This is also the old offensive tactic of the Celtics, but now the Celtics have changed to Bass to play this tactic more flexibly, because Buss's mid-range shooting is quite reliable.
Added an outside shooting spot to the Green Army. The space can be stretched wider.
Space pulls out. Rondo immediately waved his degree advantage. Go to the inside of the Knicks.
Rondo's breakaways are usually not furious in preparation for the team to compress space, but if you relax a little defensively, he can still score.
This can't be defended, it's too defensive. And suffered. Ross and Li Feng shrank towards the middle
Li Feng shrank slightly, and Rondo turned around and passed Bass. Rondo is really a pass-first point guard.
Bass followed up from behind, and the catch was straight to a mid-range shot.
Follow-up from behind and direct shot, this job was originally a common trick used by Bass when he was playing magic. So now Bass took it out and used it, without the slightest reluctance, and simply shot this ball.
The Celtics were another goal of this kind of chase and fast attack, and Tyberdu immediately realized that his team was too hard to defend back.
He immediately yelled on the sidelines:
"Pay attention to the three-point line and don't give them too much space"
Tyberdu yelled here as the Knicks' offense got organized again, and this time it was Harden who came with the ball from the backcourt, as an All-Star player.
Harden is indeed a little inferior in terms of organization, but Harden has no dead ends in terms of individual offense.
This time after Harden came up. Directly tortured Lei Allen's two old legs, and violently broke through. Rush up two steps, then pull up straight up for a jumper.
Harden's two moves are extremely simple, but they match Harden's degree and Ray Allen's old legs.
Between this increase and subtraction, Harden easily got this vacancy.
The shot is simply a mid-range shot.
Such an easy shot came out, and suddenly the North Shore Garden Court sighed, and they all thought that Harden must have hit the ball.
Li Feng thought the same thing, he wanted to run back.
But the ball was already in the basket, but it came out all at once. This was too unexpected.
The goal was actually scored again, so the Celtic players were happy.
Li Feng hurriedly turned around and turned around to grab the rebound.
But by this time, Bass and Garnett had already stuck their positions in the main area, and the penalty area was completely protected.
Li Feng had no space outside at all, and Li Feng could only try his luck at this time.
Li Feng bounced up sharply, his arms straightened, and Bass was a little slower to react on the inside. In just such a little time, Li Feng was very lucky to click on the basketball all of a sudden.
The basketball flew towards Li Feng, Garnett, and Bass at once.
At this time, Li Feng clicked on basketball.
But he couldn't catch the basketball, Li Feng pushed it in the air and clicked on the basketball again, but the situation did not improve, because at this time, Bass and Garnett struck Li Feng together.
Li Feng stretched out his hands and finally grabbed the basketball firmly.
Li Feng finally grabbed the rebound, just now after Li Feng clicked the basketball from behind Bass, he saw that Li Feng first stuck Garnett alone, and then fought for the ball, and after the basketball flew away, he grabbed the basketball between Bass and Garnett again.
This series of actions, Li Feng did extremely fast and accurately, in the chaos of the army, Li Feng was simply calm, and he was completely counted on the landing point of basketball.
In the chaos of the army, Li Feng can still have this kind of rebounding smell and judgment. This situation made Garnett and Bass bitter, neither of us robbed him of any of us, how could he react so quickly? How is it so fast?
The Celtics didn't care how many players there were, and Bass came up and took out the basketball in Li Feng's hand.
Buzz wanted to make up for it, but he cut it some, and as soon as he pulled out the ball, Bass immediately leaked out behind him. Li Feng immediately stepped forward without hesitation, and the whole person cut past Bass, and his left hand was long unfolded.
"Bang dang!"
A one-handed dunk smashed into the Celtics' basket.
Li Feng first grabbed rebounds in a row under the basket, and then dunked directly past Buss. Rivers, who was on the sidelines this time, couldn't sit still and scolded on the sidelines:
"Look at the basket, look at your position, what are you doing with Bass? What kind of plane are you working on? ”
Rivers actually got a real fire on Buzz.
Rivers is furious with Bass here.
Mark Jackson on the sidelines also frowned and said softly:
"The Celtics' arrangement on the inside line today is a bit of a mistake"
Bill Wharton, who was sitting next to Mark Jackson, knew exactly what Mark Jackson meant.
Bass is obviously inferior to Li Feng in all confrontations, so the Celtic chrysanthemums were frequently exploded at the beginning.
Buss was scolded by the head coach and followed his teammates to the Knicks' half. The Celtics opened with an easy burst of chrysanthemums.
The young team will take a hit. But the Celts were old men. The cheeks are thick-skinned.
When it came to the Knicks, he still played half-court unhurriedly. Now as the Celtics team ages, the pace of offense is getting slower and slower. But the half-time cooperation got better and better.
Rondo played a small screen at the Knicks' free-throw line and looped the basketball in front of him. It was delivered to Garnett, who had gone around behind him.
Garnett took a small step inside the three-point line, and the catch was a mid-range shot.
Normally, this is Garnett's repertoire, but as soon as Garnett shot today, the ball was deflected.
This is a bit unexpected.
The Celtic player was slightly startled and immediately ran towards his own half.
But what the Celtics didn't expect was this. They ran in front, and behind them the Knicks immediately launched a fast break.
The Knicks came together to break fast, and the situation was immediately different.
Just look at Kirilenko, Harden, Rose, Li Feng, Monroe, all five of them are running fast, and no one is dragging behind.
At this time, Kirilenko, who was holding a basketball, rushed frantically towards the Celtics' half court like a cheetah, and the Celtics' defense immediately concentrated on Kirilenko.
At this time, Kirilenko saw so many Celts pounce on him. He immediately cleverly took the basketball to the right and gave way to the middle. The Celtic players followed Kirilenko towards the middle.
Li Feng plugged in from behind and went to the middle lane. This opportunity Kirilenko will not miss, and immediately with a shake of his hand, the basketball is directly stuffed into the hands of Li Feng, who is inserted in the middle.
Li Feng came again, and Buzz immediately became nervous, and Li Feng had humiliated him too much in front.
So Bass immediately pounced extremely fiercely, but Bass thought that if he defended conservatively, Li Feng would be a throw at most.
Now that Buzz pounced so fiercely, Li Feng immediately played a big turn again, and the whole person seemed to be a whirlwind, twisting Buzz behind him with a twist, and then jumped up and wanted to dunk.
Li Feng still wants to dunk? Buzz finally quit and grabbed Li Feng from behind.
Li Feng was grabbed by Buzz on the shoulder, and the whole person was slightly crooked in the air, and just like that, Li Feng hurriedly came and soared in the air a little.
stiffly held up, and then picked up his arm and smashed it the Celtics' basket.
At the same time as Li Feng dunked, the referee's whistle sounded, 2+1.
Li Feng not only dunked successfully, but also created a foul.
When Li Feng was extremely excited, Rivers finally couldn't bear it anymore. When you stand up, you gesture to the referee and call a timeout.
Within a few minutes of the opening game, the Celtics' chrysanthemum suffered a heavy blow from Li Feng, who continued to attack the Celtics' basket.
A few days ago, the Celtics still had Perkins on the inside, but after the game with the Knicks, they made a trade with the Thunder in exchange for Jeff Green and draft picks, and in just a few days, the Celtics experienced the pain of losing Perkins.
But Li Feng walked back to the bench amid the cheers of his teammates.
By this time, Mark Jackson was a little unable to sit still on the sidelines:
"Today, the Celtics are really lacking a man who can contain a strong interior line in the center position. There is such a big personnel misalignment, the Knicks can naturally control the situation, and the Knicks also have a big killer Cousins on the bench, when the Knicks are the main players off the court, Cousins plays with the bench, and the pressure on the Green Shirts is also very great.
