Chapter 439: Crazy Slashing
This offense is very important, and if the Knicks score more points, not only will the point difference continue to shorten, but also the morale will be even higher. But if the Pacers steal the rebound, the one who turns around and asks hits one.
The Knicks' chance to shorten the margin is gone, and this wave of offense can be regarded as the end. So the fans instinctively exclaimed in worry.
The key turning point was on this one ball, when the Pacers' David West and George Hill were also under the basket and ready to grab the rebound.
At this time, Li Feng killed from behind like a whirlwind, Li Feng came up from behind, flew in between David West and George Hill, suppressed George Hill in the air, knocked David West's left hand in the air, and grabbed the basketball in his hand.
Li Feng grabbed this key rebound at once, and the fans suddenly let out a sigh on the sidelines.
Vogel jumped up even more angrily, where are David West and George Hill, because they are teammates, they are a little hesitant with each other, and neither of them is decisive. As a result, Li Feng rushed up from behind and picked up the cheap.
Now that Li Feng got the rebound, Rondo and David West remembered to be angry and rushed towards Li Feng.
George Hill and David West are both players with long hands and feet, and both are good at defense and steals, so the two of them can contain Li Feng.
Suddenly, even Li Feng was also clumsy, and it was not easy to pass the basketball to Monroe, who came to him.
The ball was gone, and David West and George Hill relaxed a little on Li Feng, but Li Feng jumped out quickly to make a hand-to-hand pass with Monroe.
took the basketball, Li Feng took advantage of George Hill to be blocked by Monroe, David West looked back at the kung fu behind him, and Li Feng dribbled the ball and stabbed obliquely to the basket in one step.
Li Feng was really fast, George Hill and David West's defense was negligent for a moment, and Li Feng came up. And it's already right below the basket.
It's almost to the point where the opponent can't react at all, and it's almost to the realm of breaking through like a walk, and at this position, Li Feng uses the basket to cover the basket directly to avoid David West's defensive score.
All of a sudden, Li Feng scored another 2 points, 8 points in a row, and the difference of 14 points was instantly shortened to 6 points.
At this time, it was only 2 minutes and 40 seconds in the third quarter, and in less than three minutes, the Knicks played a small 8-0 climax.
As Li Feng scored, the Knicks players came over one by one and hugged Li Feng and bumped into his chest.
The Knicks opened the third quarter with a wave. Played out.
At the beginning, the Knicks took advantage of the Pacers' unstable foothold and the mentality of underestimating the enemy to chase back more than half of the point difference at once.
This situation was unexpected by those who shouted in the first half that 76 was no match for the Pacers.
However, at this time, the situation on the court suddenly changed, and these people couldn't think of anything in their heads, and they were all nervous.
Now the Knicks' momentum of chasing points, if they don't grasp it well, they really overturned the Pacers.
Got to this point in the field. Vogel's pride was finally put away, just as he had been repaired by Jordan. After suffering a loss, Vogel can remember it for a long time.
Vogel called a timeout, and the first thing to adjust was the Pacers' mentality. Help the team build up a sense of vigilance. The second is at the tactical level, requiring the team to impose pressing tactics on Li Feng, and once Li Feng gets the ball, he immediately organizes two people to wrap Li Feng fiercely.
On the Knicks' bench, Tyberdeau finally put on a smile. Today's game has come to an end, and now Tyberdu and the Knicks have finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The first half was completely pressed and couldn't breathe, and now the Knicks finally have a chance to fight back.
Tyberdu immediately hypnotized his teammates and told them to continue to work hard. Keep fighting to the death with the Pacers. Then he handed it over to Li Feng, asking Li Feng to continue to break through and continue to walk under the Pacers' basket.
Now Tyberdu can also see that the Pacers' overall defense is good, but the pace of individual defense is still slow. After all, the Pacers are still many veteran players, and this weakness cannot be avoided.
When the timeout is over, it's the Pacers' ball that comes back, and the Pacers are now back to get the basketball, and it's much more resolute than they were just now.
George Hill controlled the ball and covered at 45 degrees to David West, and the Knicks defended the two of them very well at this time, because George Hill and David West had too much cooperation before. The Knicks are very defensive about both of them.
George Hill saw that he didn't have a chance, and immediately transferred the basketball to Paul George's hands. Paul George took the ball and went around it, and Hibbert came up again to cover Paul George. At this time, everyone knew that Paul George's threat was great.
Almost everyone lunged towards Paul George, but Paul George made a ground-hitting pass to Hibbert, who cut into the air.
Hibbert attacked the basket with the ball, and Cousins went to defend it completely late, only to get a foul to send Hibbert to the free throw line, and Hibbert made one of two free throws at the free throw line.
The Pacers scored their first point of the second half just three minutes into the third quarter.
The Knicks took the ball from the baseline and pushed it forward to face the Pacers' half-court defense again. The Knicks are more difficult, here Dragic Wizards passed the basketball to Li Feng, and Li Feng took the ball to break through.
The walker's bag jacket arrived, and the two of them sandwiched Li Feng's bag in the middle, but Li Feng didn't accept it.
The basketball almost dropped, but at this time, thanks to Li Feng's quick hands and eyes, his legs were faster than the old guy from the Pacers.
In the past, he grabbed the basketball all of a sudden, and when he looked back and saw that Monroe was just unguarded at the free throw line, Li Feng hurriedly passed the ball to Monroe's hands. Monroe took the ball and came straight to a mid-range shot.
The ball actually went in! Monroe hit another shot.
Now that Monroe has scored, the Knicks are all happy.
This joyous scene fell into the eyes of the head coach of the Pacers, and Vogel immediately pouted in disdain!
Now that Monroe has two points, this ball is exactly the same as a balloon! This is the same time, so Vogel doesn't think the Knicks will have any future if they play like this.
Although Vogel can't see Monroe's mid-range, it has to be said that once Monroe scores points, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the Pacers is completely gone.
Although the Pacers' defense has become stronger, the Knicks' side is still happy and without pressure.
The pressure is gone, and the Pacers' offensive strategy this time is completely different from that of Fangcai.
The previous time the Pacers beat David West, they encountered desperate resistance from the Knicks. This round comes over. The Pacers switched a strategy where he didn't just hit David West first. Instead, hit Paul George first.
The Pacers came up to play Paul George's tactics first, and the baseline was double-covered, and Paul George ran wildly around the court.
In this way, through the running position of the players without the ball, the purpose of directly disrupting the opponent's defensive formation is achieved at once.
Li Feng followed Paul George desperately to chase over, Paul George got the basketball, dribbled a step back, but passed the ball directly into the hands of David West on the inside.
At this time, the Pacers really played the team offense to a certain level, moving from off-ball tactics to a combination of inside and outside tactics. It's so round that it naturally transforms. At this time, the Knicks' formation was completely chaotic, David West took the ball and stepped back, and no one could defend him.
David West shot the ball, and everyone felt that this time the Pacers scored.
But at this time, the god of fate suddenly stretched out a hand, came up and flicked it gently, and David West took the ball nine out of ten. On the edge of the basket, a boy actually brushed it out.
With this ball, the Pacers did everything perfectly in front of them, but their luck was really bad at the back.
David West made this mistake, and Cousins immediately turned back and grabbed the rebound.
Take the rebound. Cousins made the first pass to Li Feng. Li Feng received the ball and the Pacers were just played by fate, and at this time, Granger immediately came over to delay Li Feng. The Pacers' ability to resist pressure is really strong, and they can maintain a stable mentality when they encounter anything.
Li Feng was delayed by Granger like this, and his rhythm couldn't be lifted all of a sudden. By the time Li Feng broke through to the Pacers' half, the Pacers were almost in place.
You can't wait at this time, just a little bit. The Pacers' position is completely settled, and it will be extremely difficult for the Knicks to attack.
Li Feng hurriedly shouted at Cousins, who had just run behind him:
"Cover!"
Cousins understood, came up and blocked a little, and at this time wanted to be a little mistaken about Paul George and Granger who were wrapped up by Li Feng. Granger was blocked by Cousins, leaving a gap between his and Paul George's two-man defense.
Such a gap only appeared for a moment, and at this time, Li Feng immediately turned on the instantaneous speed, and suddenly buckled the ball with one hand, and his whole body swayed between Granger and Paul George.
Li Feng wore two at once, the Pacers' defense was still unstable, Hibbert was behind, and Li Feng came up and suddenly became a one-on-one with David West, who had already run back.
Facing David West, Li Feng took a step directly sideways because of the ample space, feintmed, and then flew sideways in front of the basket.
Li Feng glided sideways in the air, and David West desperately got up to block it, but David West was still old at this time. He sealed the first point, the front of the basket, but Li Feng glided to the other side of the basket.
On this side, Li Feng seemed to have enough strength in the air, his body was slightly suffocated, and he spun the basketball with his right hand and threw a ball with a very strong spin.
The ball grazed the rebound and then fell directly into the Knicks' basket.
As soon as Li Feng's ball hit, the Knicks fans and Li Feng's fans who came to the scene shouted excitedly.
Because Li Feng's ball is so beautiful, a dragon came over, passed two, and then glided in the air to dodge David West's block. The difficulty and ornamentation are absolutely top-notch. Although the Pacers scored a lot of points in front of them, none of them were so rebellious and so chic and beautiful.
That's what the fans like, so the fans got excited all of a sudden, and the atmosphere of the fans got excited about Consec.
Once the atmosphere on the court is warm, the Knicks players are full of morale.
At this time, the Pacers came over and obviously felt that the Knicks' defense was better, the players were more desperate, and the pressure on the court was greater.
At this time, the Pacers want to play more cautiously and more safely, and under this idea, the Pacers pass a lot of balls.
The Pacers were dazzled by passes, and suddenly a cross pass between George Hill and Granger missed. Granger didn't hold the ball himself, and the ball rolled off the touchline.
So suddenly. The stadium cheered.
Now that the Knicks are chasing points, the Pacers are shooting misses, passing errors, and everything is starting to turn in favor of the Knicks.
The tide began to reverse in the Knicks' favor, and the morale swept over like a frenzy.
In the cheers of the audience, Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt and approached the Pacers' halfcourt.
How walkers don't know how to get out of the way, this is the most important blow! If this blow is done by the Knicks, the morale of the Knicks will really be fully up. And in terms of score, if the Knicks shoot this ball, there is only one point left in the difference.
Going from 14 points to the Knicks chasing down one point in one go is something that rarely happens to the Pacers. Even the Pacers' player nerves are made of steel. Such an outcome will inevitably affect them.
The Pacers players, now once they see Li Feng holding the ball, immediately pounce on the double bag.
The Pacers pounced very resolutely, and Li Feng was almost one step away from the three-point line, and they pounced.
At this time, facing the double bag, Li Feng did not rush to pass the ball, but dribbled the ball sideways and then retreated in the middle.
When Li Feng was completely carried to the top of the arc by the Pacers' double bag, he suddenly came and hit George Hill with his shoulder, and then Li Feng stepped back by himself. How much weight did Li Feng use. Suddenly, George Hill's body stiffened, and he lost his center of gravity. It also happened to block Granger, who followed him.
Li Feng saw that George Hill was equivalent to covering for himself, and Li Feng suddenly stepped forward. Half a step past George Hill, at the moment when George Hill's body adjusted, Li Feng jumped and jumped under the Pacers' basket.
Li Feng's jump is extremely exaggerated. The jump is not high, but it is very far, and this time it is almost from the three-point line. Jumped to the edge of the reasonable collision zone under the basket.
Li Feng suddenly came up, David West stretched out his hand to this side, and Li Feng had already jumped to the basket.
David West's hand touched Li Feng's hand, Li Feng also shot, the basketball went in, the referee's whistle sounded, and the penalty was added.
This time, the Knicks fans at the Consec Center were boiling, the first half was completely suppressed, and the second half was absolutely counterattacking, from the beginning of the third quarter, it took exactly 5 minutes, and if Li Feng made a free throw, the game would be tied.
This result surprised everyone. Even Tyberdu felt very dreamy, and Li Feng's performance in this section was simply a god. scored 10 points in a row, second to the Pacers' old life. This performance made Tyberdu think of Iverson all of a sudden, but Li Feng was just taller than Iverson.
The team was beaten to this point and in a few minutes, all the advantages of the first half were gone. Vogel felt a little angry, and while he was extremely corrupt, he secretly hated his poor adjustment at the beginning of the third quarter.
At this time, the magician Johnson in the commentary seat also had to change his words and say:
"Li Feng's paragraph is simply terrible. He single-handedly drove the whole team, and with continuous breakthroughs by himself, the Pacers' basket became Li Feng's backyard. If such a breakthrough cannot be stopped, the Pacers simply cannot win. ”
Now Magic Johnson has also decided not to mention the fact that he said in the first half that the Knicks couldn't win.
Li Feng went to the free throw line and hit a free throw, and the score was tied.
At this point, Vogel couldn't hold back and had to call a timeout again. Vogel called a timeout, and tactically he didn't have much to do. He did what he should have done before, and now he called a timeout. The first is to continue to adjust the mentality of the team and stabilize the team. The second is to temporarily replace Granger with Gerard Green.
In the last two rounds, Langer missed the ball, his shot was blocked, the defense was unfavorable, and consecutive defeats could easily dampen the motivation of the players. Vogel needs to protect Granger and calm him down.
The Pacers replaced an offensive player and replaced a defensive player, and the meaning of targeting Li Feng was already obvious.
During the timeout, Tyberdu obviously expected this, and during the timeout, he told Li Feng that he could divide the ball in time. Trust your teammates!
Li Feng's performance in this section is already strong enough, scoring 10 points in a row, which is enough for an individual. You can't expect more, and now for the Knicks to keep going, they need the whole team to pull together. One person can carry the whole team for a few minutes, but he can definitely not resist the whole game.
Li Feng has played enough, and it is time for others to stand up.
The timeout was over, and back was the Pacers' half-court ball, with George Hill passing the ball out for Gerard Green. Gerard Green took the ball and returned it to George Hill, who took the ball over and tested the breakthrough himself. But at this time, the Knicks' defense was too hard, and forcing a breakthrough was not his strong point, so he could only shrink back.
After retracting, George Hilma passed the ball to Paul George, but at this point Paul George did not cover and let Paul George take the ball and play alone, he was not as good as Granger. So Paul George tossed and turned and passed the ball to David West.
The ball had already gone around the outside, and no one could attack easily, and at this time only David West himself was on it.
David West took the ball and forced himself to break through the frame, and when he got to this step of the field, Monroe couldn't prevent it, he was not as tall as David West, nor as fast as David West, so he could only pull his clothes and pull David West down at once.
Monroe fouled, David West went to the free throw line, and at this point both played dirty, and people with strong beliefs had a conflict. David West was pulled by Monroe and immediately complained very dissatisfied, Monroe was not easy to mess with, and the two of them fought under the basket.
The ball game was already very intense, but now there was a quarrel again, and the referee hurriedly came over and separated the two people.
David West just opened his mouth to curse, and now he is not soft on the free throw line, and he has made two free throws in a row.
The Pacers are starting to slow blood transfusions again, and now it's up to the Knicks to deal with the situation. (To be continued......)
