Dribbling to the front court and moving laterally to the top of the arc, Monroe raised the high post to block the closely following Atay, who strode around the wall and continued to chase Li Feng, while Bynum also stepped sideways to interfere with Li Feng's breakthrough, and followed by Atay to form a wrap-up defense against Li Feng.

Monroe turned around and cut to the basket after doing the blocking, but Li Feng did not pass the ball in time at this time, and suddenly changed direction sharply with a step on his thigh.

Accelerating around An Zhu, his speed advantage was undoubtedly displayed, and after breaking through to the right wing of the three-second zone and facing Gasol who was assisting in the defense, Li Feng stepped directly and leaned in, forced to jump, and easily hooked his hand to throw the basketball board in.

It's a pity that Gasol was not fooled, this soft egg's defensive ability is not strong, but his foundation is very solid.

……

After Kobe Bryant leaned on Wright to burst to the right wing of the basket, he made a sharp stop, dribbled against Wright, turned around and hit a jumper, and his touch began to come out.

Li Feng and Ibaka made another block, took a strong step from the right wing, forced a backward jumper, and Atai and Gasol on the left side and in front of him jumped up at the same time to block, but Li Feng adjusted his posture in the air without a trace.

The right hand waved the ball straight to the basket, and the inside line was unconsciously empty, Monroe received the ball and leaned on Bynum, turned and walked sideways to hook the basketball.

……

Kobe dropped the ball to Bynum on the inside, who was also pushed outside the left side of the three-second zone, and as soon as he tried to squeeze the ball to the basket, Lloris near the baseline stepped back and wrapped it, and Bynum shook his hand and passed the basketball to Fisher on the left baseline. Lowry pounced again. The basketball was hoisted back into Anzhu's hands again, this time it was replaced by Li Feng on the left wing, and the basketball was passed to the outside, taking advantage of Li Feng's failure to return to the defense, Artest made a three-point shot and smashed the basket out.

Wright's defense this time was very successful, constantly adjusting his defensive steps and standing between Kobe and the basketball, so that Kobe did not get the opportunity to pass.

Monroe jumped up and grabbed the rebound with his outstretched arms, leaned over to Lloris to the side, who dribbled straight to the frontcourt. Passing horizontally to Li Feng, who was inserted one step earlier on the weak side, while dribbling sideways, he glanced at Monroe, who had just run to the side not far away, and Atai was a little nervous by Li Feng. In advance, it blocked the advantageous position that Li Feng was accustomed to breaking through, and also prevented the ground blocking between Li Feng and Monroe.

With a snap, Li Feng suddenly held the ball in his left hand and made a diagonal burst into the penalty area on the left side, caught Atay off guard, attracted the Fisher defense at the bottom line, and saw that Gasol was also eyeing the basket, and with a snap, the basketball hit the ground and passed to Lowry outside the baseline, who received the ball and shot three points, which also missed the basket. Gasol blocked Ibaka for the rebound.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides competed extremely fiercely, and the battle between Li Feng and Kobe Bryant made the entire Staples Arena so passionate, but in the second half, Tyberdu replaced Ibaka with Korver, Ibaka did play well in the recent game, but this game almost disappeared under Gasol's defense, and replacing Korver to strengthen the outside line can also allow Li Feng to go deep inside.

Li Feng has changed this season, and his style of play is biased towards the outside, but it does not mean that Li Feng is not lethal on the inside.

"Go outside a little more!"

After Li Feng dribbled to the frontcourt, he watched Korver stay at the top of the three-point arc. Gesturing for him to go outside a little longer, Monroe pinned down Bynum under the basket and Wright and Lori pulled up to the wings.

Although Li Feng has become a big forward, it is still Atai who defends him instead of Pau Gasol, with his back against Artest. Suddenly, he turned left and rushed towards the right wing, and Li Feng protected the ball, making it difficult for Artai, who was defending in front of him, to find an opportunity to make a steal. It's just a close interference, chasing after Li Feng's side. …,

Korver moved slightly from the free throw line to the right, and Li Feng immediately stopped when he saw this.

The change of hands from behind changed to break to the left, and Korver's standing position hindered the hot pursuit of Artai, who went around the wall and continued to chase after Li Feng.

Gasol stepped in the way of Li Feng's continued breakthrough to the inside.

Taking a big stride diagonally, Li Feng completely pulled Gasol's defense over, and Fisher also pounced at the same time, but Li Feng suddenly passed the ball with his left hand over the top, and the basketball flew to Korver at the left end of the free throw line, who received the ball and adjusted, and easily shot it.

"Well done!"

Li Feng slapped Korver when he retreated,

"Defensively keep up with Artey, don't let him shoot easily!"

"This coordination is so beautiful, it seems that Tyberdu and Li Feng also realize the importance of the overall attack!"

Lakers coach Phil Jackson also gestured to the offensive players at this time and played more inside.

After Fisher dribbled to the frontcourt, he stepped sideways and handed the basketball to Gasol under the right wing.

The latter caught the ball and tried to break through Li Feng from the bottom line, but after being blocked by the latter's side stride, he squeezed Li Feng to throw it with one hand, and the basketball bounced out at the front of the basket, and Li Feng recovered the rebound.

"Good ball, the striker defended well, the position was very good, his hands were held high, his movements were very clean, and there was no chance for Gasol to foul!"

Bang Bang Bang ...... After dribbling to the front court.

Again with Korver to block and dismantle, this time Gasol did not completely let go of the defense of Korver, only sideways to interfere with Li Feng, but he immediately regretted this defensive hesitation, Li Feng did not pass, made a quick stop and leaned back against the chasing Atay, and rushed through Gasol's defense with a sharp acceleration, and Monroe under the basket was dead against Bynum.

Li Feng hit an easy jumper.

turned to Kobe Bryant to break through the inside, quickly shook off Wright's entanglement, and faced Monroe, who was assisting in the defense, he leaned directly on, tried to force a layup, and snapped.

Monroe stood still, holding his hands high and waiting for the opportunity to block, but Wright, who was chasing closely from behind, took the lead and slapped the basketball in Kobe's hand from behind, and the latter immediately jumped with an exaggerated raised arm.

Force!

The referee's whistle blew and Wright was awarded a foul. The latter looked at the referee's gesture with a look of surprise. He took the basketball from the audience and threw it into the court, and rushed to the referee to try to explain something, but it obviously didn't help.

He didn't pestering the referee, just stop, he was no longer a stunned young man who had just entered the league, and he knew from Wade what "care" was when the Heat defeated the Mavericks in the finals in 06.

The Knicks' defensive set-up in this game is clear. is a three-two joint defense, mainly to limit Bynum's role on the inside, bully the Lakers' external crosshairs-like weaknesses, and immediately exchange markers when the opponent breaks through, giving Kobe Bryant a chance to play alone. Isolate the Lakers' arrowhead step by step.

Force!

Phil Jackson motioned for his players to call a timeout, turned his head to look at the score — 20-25 — and he needed to make some arrangements for the team's perimeter, and he needed to make a difference to the team's perimeter shooting, which would make it difficult for Bynum to play a bigger role, and he also needed to emphasize the defense of the sudden break after Li Feng's pick-and-roll.

"Paul. When attacking, pull to the outside line and give Kobe some firepower reinforcements! ”

Phil Jackson's first thought was Gasol, a capable power forward, and at this time, the first quarter of the game was almost over, and he replaced Bynum with Odom, preserving Anzhu's strength, and replaced Fisher with veteran Steve Blake, who had a somewhat disappointing offensive performance.

The Knicks were relatively easy on their side, with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, and they led by five points on the Lakers' home court, with a slight advantage on both offensive and defensive ends, and more importantly, Li Feng and Monroe played these two points very openly. It doesn't seem like Monroe's power is much worse than Cousins'. …,

"Feng, good job, let's get down and rest first!"

Tyberdu directly replaced his henchman and replaced him with a short interior lineman like Millsap and Landry, Craig Smith, and there was a Monroe on the court who looked like he was enough to support the big picture, and the big man's role in the interior was eye-catching.

The bench lineup made a big change, Matthews came on to replace Kover, who was difficult to play a big role in the absence of Li Feng's outside cooperation, and the veteran Hassell replaced Wright, and Hassell came on to take over Wright's defensive duties against Kobe. Livingston replaces Lori. "Greg, pay attention to running more after you get on the court, echo with Sean on the outside, and make full use of your high position!"

Tyberdu first explained the tactical tone of the substitute lineup, which is to use Monroe's ability to play to create opportunities for the rest of the team. Craig Smith, who has a strong finishing ability, also needs to attack the basket to relieve the pressure on Monroe when he has the opportunity.

"Greg, don't stand too dead on the inside, pull back and forth on the left and right sides, and play more aggressively on offense!"

"Hey, guys, it's very likely that Kobe Bryant guy will stay on the court at this time, don't be played by him!"

Li Feng stood up and summoned his teammates who were about to play, please be better than excited, and at the end of the day, he also explained some precautions to Hassel alone.

"That guy is in your hands, and the first few minutes of the second quarter, be tougher defensively!"

"Alright, it's time to play, come on, guys!"

Kobe Bryant broke through in a row to cause two goals, but Monroe and Craig Smith also each hit a basket to return a shot, the first quarter passed smoothly, and the Knicks still led by five points at 29-24 into the second quarter.

……

Syllable!

The veteran Ratliff suddenly walked forward, reached out and cut off the ball passed by Craig Smith to Monroe, and Bryant immediately launched a fast attack after getting the ball, striding past the unprepared Hassel, bursting to the frontcourt, and directly completed the counterattack with a strong dunk.

Bang Bang Bang ...... The Lakers fans at home are starting to get excited again, Kobe's trademark violent dunk is rare now, and it can only be seen when he meets an opponent who excites him, which has greatly boosted the morale of the Lakers playing at home for a while, even if Li Feng and his Knicks team have been converted into a flying fortress in the new season, their Lakers army can still conquer this fortress.

……

Ratlif stubbornly pushed Monroe outside the three-second zone, the latter was difficult to face the basket attack, so he had to pass the basketball back to the outside, Matthews received the ball, faced Kobe Bryant on the left wing and broke through with the ball, and a sharp acceleration jammed Kobe's side, and the latter stuck Matthews's slightly raised arm and immediately fell to the floor.

Forced, the referee's whistle also sounded.

Matthews offensive foul.

Li Feng sat on the court and was not in a hurry, he was still waiting to see what happened, the same is true of Tyberdeau, the Lakers only made minor adjustments to the lineup at the end of the previous quarter, which should not be enough to completely suppress the Knicks' lineup on the court - Ratliff, Odom, Kobe, the fragrant Brown, Blake.

Lakers coach Phil Jackson sent Ratlleaf, who is known for his defense, to defend Monroe, and Odom, who is more physically flexible, to limit Craig Smith with obvious intentions.

"Greg, you should learn to adjust this situation, that old guy is not at the same level as your strength at all!"

Li Feng looked at Monroe, who seemed to be in a hurry, silently cheered for this guy in his heart, and turned his attention to Matthews.

I said with some pity in my heart:

"Wesley, when are you going to be able to ignore the points? Otherwise, you should have transformed a long time ago! ”

The Lakers got the ball, Blake advanced the basketball to the front court, leaned over and passed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the low post on the left wing, who held the ball and turned to face the basket, and after a few dribbles, he made a gesture to shoot, seeing that Hassel, who was defending him, did not react, and shook again.

Finally lured Hassel up.

With a snap, Kobe Bryant leaned sideways against Hassell, squeezed Hassel away with his strong body, and formed a breakthrough, his lateral breakthrough suddenly disrupted the Knicks' defense, and Livingston and Matthews at the top of the arc and weak wings contracted the defense at the same time.

With a whoosh, Kobe Bryant jumped up and passed the basketball, and Xiangnon Brown, who moved sideways to the baseline, immediately formed an open three-pointer and hit it with a bang.

Tyberdu stood on the sidelines, still so immovable, only a minute has passed, he needs to leave more rest time for Li Feng, and this is also the time to test the substitute lineup, the whole team must grow with Li Feng, otherwise this year's playoffs will still not get eye-catching results.
