Chapter 589: Never Give Up

At this moment, it was as if an electric current was on the Knicks' bench, all the players jumped, towels flew on the Knicks' bench, and the players cheered and cheered loudly.

There are still seven points to go, but the Knicks players believe victory is not far away.

Vogel stood on the sidelines with a calm face, he seemed to have anticipated this situation, and seemed to disdain such a small scene.

The old guy had seen so many big scenes that such a game couldn't seem to tug at his heartstrings.

The Pacers picked up the ball and played it back with 1:30 left in the game. The Pacers came up with one of their simplest and most stable tactical combinations.

George took the ball in the backcourt and pushed it straight over, and immediately after pushing it in, he waited near the center circle, and then started to wait for time.

Seeing George play like this, all those who have studied the Pacers should understand that by this time the Pacers are going to play George and David West's high post blocking again.

This simple combination, the Pacers do not play often, and they only use it every time they encounter a strong opponent at a critical moment, but every time they use this tactic, the Pacers can gain something.

Li Feng also knows what George wants to do? He also tried to steal the basketball, but George used his body to protect the basketball and pull the basketball away.

Li Feng couldn't touch the basketball at all, so Li Feng could only wait patiently, waiting for the passage of time.

As a hunter, Li Feng must learn to wait, but at this time, Li Feng does not like to wait for this action. Because he didn't stand still for a second, didn't do anything for a second, and the Knicks lost a second. Keep in mind that they are still 7 points behind the Pacers!

Time is passing by, tension is gathering in my heart, longing, fear, and fierce enthusiasm are impacting Li Feng.

At this time, Li Feng couldn't help but read the words, but Li Feng himself didn't know what he was talking about, and George, who didn't understand Chinese, couldn't understand whether the opponent was scolding himself or humiliating himself in his ear.

The time has finally come. The Pacers' 24-second offensive time was only six seconds left, and at this time, George turned steadily and dribbled the ball towards the middle, and Li Feng was only one step in the past. David West arrived from behind.

In this way, George instantly swam like a fish into the sea, and suddenly plunged near the Knicks' restricted area.

Here the Knicks' defense was a little messy, Li Feng and Kirilenko did not switch positions, and David West turned around and cut up to the Knicks basket. At the same time, George sent a pass to David West, who was on the move.

The Pacers' high-post pick-and-roll is finally out. Li Feng was caught in the middle. Seeing this happen, he urgently reached out and broke the basketball in David West's arms.

Li Feng definitely stimulated the strongest potential at this time, and at that moment he suddenly clicked on David West's ball, and Li Feng touched the basketball!

Just when Li Fengli was happy, because he at least interfered with David West's offense.

didn't expect that David West, who is not a technical player, was actually broken at the moment. He raised his hands and shouted. David West actually cheated on a foul at this critical moment?

Li Feng was also stunned, but at this moment, the referee really gave Li Feng a foul.

Li Feng obviously clicked on the ball just now, and now he was punished for a foul, and suddenly Li Feng jumped up like a burning buttocks, and rushed over to reason with the referee.

However, the referee ignored Li Feng at all, and also sued Li Feng. Li Feng's face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't control his feelings, seeing that Li Feng was about to go crazy. Kirilenko hurriedly went over and hugged Li Feng directly and hugged him to the side.

"We still have a chance! 1 minute to go, one minute more! ”

Under Kirilenko's comfort, Li Feng was depressed and could only endure it, and indeed he could only endure it. David West also walked to the free-throw line with a depressed expression, and this guy was steady, hitting both free throws at the free-throw line.

As a result, the Pacers were a little safer, 109-100, and the difference between the two teams became 9 points, but the clock was only 1:09 left.

The Knicks kicked off in the backcourt, and the game reached the final stage, and the tactics and strategy became chickens. Ba warm eggs. At this time, the most stable people are people, the Pacers just gave the basketball directly to George to control it, and now the Knicks came over and immediately gave it to Li Feng to control it.

Li Feng controlled the basketball, but he didn't have the same good life as George, so he could wait and then make the last shot. Now that the Knicks are behind, Li Feng needs to be the first to look for opportunities to score for the team in the fastest and most efficient way.

But Li Feng only got the basketball here, and the Pacers' defense immediately organized a double defense and rushed up to Li Feng.

In the face of the double defense of Hansbrough and George, Li Feng used his body to protect the basketball, leaned on the opponent, and hurriedly gave the ball to Kirilenko, who came out.

Kirilenko, as a big man, received the ball in a much stronger area than a small man, Kirilenko received the ball, and Li Feng immediately ran towards Kirilenko's side.

wanted to use Kirilenko's cover, but at this time, the Pacers' defense was really detailed, and David West actually grabbed half of his body to prevent Li Feng from moving over easily.

As a result, Li Feng can't catch the ball, and Kirilenko, a big man, will get the ball for too long and will die if he is trapped.

He immediately passed the ball to Parsons who was vacated on the wing, and Parsons was also ready to score three points in front of the basket with the ball, but this guy was a little slower to shoot George, who was helping the Pacers defense, immediately chased back.

In the face of George, Parsons calmly controlled the ball and stabbed forward, then stepped back sideways and made a mid-range shot.

Parsons's retreat was quite Pierce's style, and George was also deceived in a hurry.

Basketball shot, Parsons shot in the middle of the shot!

Parsons hit two more points to bring the gap back to seven. 102――109。

The Knicks spent 16 seconds on the offense, leaving only 53 seconds left in the game. At this time, it is still the ball of the Pacers, and the Knicks are now chasing 7 points in this situation. Victory seems to have become a theoretical thing again!

But who's to say that the Knicks can't create a miracle! Li Feng's nickname is Tyrannosaurus Rex. Shouldn't miracles belong to them?

At this point, Madison Square Garden was still not calm, and the fans were shouting that they were willing to win.

The Knicks' bench was also full of fiery eyes, and it was only at this time that the Knicks admitted defeat, and they were absolutely unwilling.

On the Pacers' side, Hill once again advanced with the ball, and Hill's dribbling was rock-solid. Don't give the Knicks the slightest chance.

The wealth that such an old guard gives to the Pacers is by no means just a few key shots, the Pacers are very stable, and there are no flaws in stability. So at this point, the Knicks couldn't wait, just when Hill dribbled across the halfway line.

Li Feng suddenly shouted:

"Wrap him up!"

After saying this, Li Feng rushed towards Hill like a leopard, for Li Feng at this time. Hill is not alone. Just a piece of meat. A prey, a prey he had to kill.

Li Feng came too fast and too fiercely.

Hill wanted to pass the ball, but there was no good passing route, he hesitated a little, but Li Feng had already sandwiched Hill from behind.

At this time, Hill couldn't pass the ball if he wanted to, and when he encountered this situation, the Pacers' players hurriedly went up to respond.

But Hill didn't even get a chance to pass the ball. What's the use of them answering? Li Feng took the opportunity to press his hand on Hill's ball at this time, and he didn't let go.

Li Feng was so entangled. Just didn't give the Pacers half a chance, and saw that the game was deadlocked here, forming a dead ball.

The referee came up and could only punish Li Feng and Hill for the scrum, and with the referee's gesture, Li Feng and Hill stood together, and sure enough, when the referee threw the basketball out.

The Knicks regained possession of the ball bloodlessly, and Li Feng put the basketball into Parsons' hands.

The Knicks had the ball and instead pushed towards the Pacers. When the Knicks got the ball here, the Pacers also used tight defense against the Knicks.

pressed towards Parsons, Parsons could only pass the ball to Li Feng at this time, Li Feng was under the pressure of the opponent, and he also rushed left and right, looking for a route to attack or pass, but at this time the Pacers' rotation was very fast.

Li Feng couldn't see anyone in the chaos, so Li Feng could only attack by himself again, and in the chaos, Li Feng pulled up and threw a three-pointer.

Li Feng's three-point shot was very powerful before, but now the situation is too chaotic, and Li Feng has no rhythm when he shoots.

Li Feng smashed the basketball into the hoop, and then flew out of the distance, and the players of the Pacers before were pressing. Now once Li Feng's rebound rebound missed, they didn't have the main position, but they didn't know what was going on and was grabbed by Belinelli to grab the rebound.

After grabbing the rebound, Belineri immediately turned back and passed to Cousins, who came with him, and Cousins raised his hand to a mid-range and finally scored 2 points.

The two armies were a mess, and in the end the Knicks finally scored two points, but it was a little more difficult for the Knicks to score these two points, and it took nearly 15 seconds for the Knicks to score these two points on two offenses.

The Pacers dropped two points, and the score became 104-109, and the difference between the two teams suddenly narrowed to five points, with 38 seconds left.

Judging from the score, the Knicks still have a chance, but in terms of time, the Knicks have a slim chance, and now the Knicks need more time.

The Pacers were robbed here. Grab a ball! Turning around, the Pacers immediately called a short timeout and started teeing off from the sideline.

The Pacers teed off from the sideline and threw the basketball directly into the hands of David West, who took the ball and controlled the ball in a steady step to George.

George got the ball on the Pacers' side, and Li Feng immediately chased after the defensive George outside the three-point line, and suddenly blocked the middle and shouted at his teammates:

"Bag Clip!"

This time, Li Feng called out for a bag, but George was not Hill, and George's confrontation was much stronger than Hill. It was also when Li Feng yelled. George threw the basketball to David West again, and David West came out and passed the ball to Hill Hill and made a quick shot feint.

Hill is the kind of player who can't relax the more critical the moment. Just as Hill raised his hand, Bellenelli hurried after him.

But at this time, Hill broke through quickly with the ball, passed Belineri in one step, Hill broke through, and the Knicks were desperately shrinking at this critical moment. In this way, Hill easily passed the basketball to Hansbrough, who was pulled outside.

Hansbrough was completely empty at this time, occupying such a good position, and Hansbrough made another 3-pointer.

If you hit this three-pointer. The Knicks were going to be finished immediately, so everyone was nervous to see the trajectory of basketball.

"Bang dang!" Hansblu's three-pointer at a critical moment actually missed the shot, and the basketball world fell to Parsons's side.

Parsons took the ball and immediately turned around and passed it to Belineri. Belliner dribbled toward the Pacers' half.

The Pacers failed to attack in one round, and although the difference between the two teams remained the same, the clock was only 25 seconds left.

At this time, the Knicks and the Pacers still have a 5-point difference!

So the Knicks could only attack at this time, and Belineri came over with the ball and swept Li Feng out of the corner of his eye, but he had no chance to receive the basketball at all. There is also a great chance of losing the ball by throwing the basketball over yourself.

So he was ready to go up and shoot his own threes. However, Belineri's ability to force a shot was not strong, and when he adjusted his pace slightly, the Pacers sensed something and immediately posted Hill.

As soon as Belineri saw that this was not going to work, he looked back and saw Kirilenko running over, and he immediately threw the basketball to Kirilenko.

Kirilenko's three-point range is long, and he has a certain range advantage in beating David West, and David West happened to be not by his side at this time.

Kirilenko took the ball with 1 big stride from the three-point line and stopped. Then go up for a three-pointer.

Kirilenko's three-point shot was a bit of a heavy artillery, and the basketball flew out far "Bang!" It slammed into the Pacers' basket.

At this point in the game. With just 18 seconds left on the clock, the Knicks cut the deficit to a closer.

At this time, there were only 18 seconds left before the game was completely over, and the Knicks chased the score to 107-109.There was only a two-point difference left in the score, and it seemed that the Knicks were in sight of a reversal, but the time was only 18 seconds, and it was still the ball of the Pacers.

The Pacers called their final timeout at this point, and the Knicks players were back on the bench at this point.

At this time, Tyberdu also sensed the taste of counterattack, and he yelled at the players on the sidelines:

"Defend to the death, with the toughest defense, the most aggressive way of defending, you have to take the ball, take the ball and go into attack immediately. We're going to have to get at least two points! ”

While Tyberdu was roaring wildly, Vogel's side was as calm as Tarzan:

I'm sure you know when it's going to be! I'm sure you'll be able to handle it, after all, we've seen a lot more big scenes than those rookies! Calm, steady, executing tactics, it's just a normal playoff game, that's what I'm trying to say. ”

Vogel calmly calmed down the team's feelings, and then began to lay out tactics.

Gary Payton shook his head at this time and said, "I really didn't expect it!" I really didn't expect it! The Knicks have really fought for a chance to survive now. It's up to you to win or lose in this one round! ”

"After chasing nearly 20 points in the first quarter, the Knicks' scoring power is really strong, and Li Feng's will is really irreversible. Regardless of whether he wins or loses today's game, Li Feng has already won the respect of the fans. ”

Reggie Miller also gave Li Feng a high evaluation at this time, after all, it was Li Feng who pulled the team back in one breath when the team was in the most difficult time.

At the end of the timeout, the Pacers kicked off the sideline, and when the whistle blew, the tension on the court began to rise.

The players of the two teams began to collide most fiercely from their eyes to their bodies, and the atmosphere on the court was almost solidified, and the movements of every player on the court were unconsciously a little stiff.

"Huh!"

David West came up with a ball and passed it to Pendegrav, who moved from the middle, and today Pendegraf gave the Knicks several lethal three-pointers. At this time, he didn't dare to ignore the ball again, and when he hurriedly went to defend, Pendegraf clicked and took a step towards George.

He was going to give George a response, Li Feng realized what was about to happen as soon as he saw the other party's movements, and he hurriedly grabbed in front of George fiercely, squeezing the position to prevent the two from having contact.

However, once Li Feng blocked the route forward, George was extremely cunning and experienced at this time, and suddenly turned around and ran back, but cut towards the basket instead.

Pendegraf is also a big European man, and he has a strong sense of playing empty cuts, and he immediately shoved a ball with a ball in the back of his head directly into George's hands.

Li Feng just grabbed the front defense and got stuck on Pendegraf's side, and this time George ran back, and he went back to defend a beat slower.

George got the ball to a high basket, and it was too late for Li Feng to defend it.

George scored two points in the game, rewriting the score to 111-107, and the difference between the two teams was stretched to four points.

What's more critical is that the Pacers consumed 11 seconds on offense this time, and now there are only 7 seconds left for the Knicks, but they need to score 4 points in 7 seconds, and at this time, both the Pacers and the Knicks have been killed until the sky is dark, and there is no timeout.
