"Let go of their center, wrap Li Feng, ok? Here and here, don't get out of the way."

McHale held the tactical board and kept scribbling, outlining the tactical lines, and the Rockets' players gathered around and listened to his arrangement.

Tyberdu is also arranging a change of formation: "Golan, surprise the Houstonians a little, let them see, you don't just pass the ball. Li Feng, the second set of lineups, if you do a feint point, they will definitely not think of it, that's it, go, go, go! ”

Both sides just changed their tactics, there were no substitutions, and the original team was still fighting.

Beverley faithfully carried out McHale's orders, dribbling the ball to the front court and passing it to Morris on the inside.

Thornton and Morris were entangled, the latter protected the ball sideways and squeezed under the basket, Thornton did not give an inch, hitting three times in a row, Morris suddenly stepped back and made a jumper.

Thornton didn't have time to react, the two were too close to the hoop, and the ball bounced into the frame.

Dragic pushed forward quickly and then passed the ball to Belineri in the bottom corner, who stepped past Delfino with lightning speed!

Seeing this, Asik next to him shouted angrily and blocked the bottom line, destroying the breakthrough of Belineri to the fullest, and the latter saw him come out, and immediately threw the ball into the inside line to Li Feng.

After Li Feng got the ball, he turned around directly, Morris came up from the wing and surrounded Li Feng with Harden side by side, the latter took advantage of the fact that the encirclement between the two did not close, found a gap and passed the ball, just to the vacant Dragic.

Dragic took the ball and steadied his figure, and Beverley lunged towards him. Then Dragic jumped sideways, avoiding his opponent while aiming for the hoop and hitting with one hit!

McHale nodded quietly, then watched Morris swing his fist vigorously, seeing his action, Morris had a bright and hideous smile on his face.

Beverley went to the front court to give the ball to Morris, and the others cheered and scattered, and Harden and Delfino both ran off the three-point line, leaving Morris and Thornton in the box.

Li Feng and others can only go out, except for Morris and Beverley. Everyone else has a beautiful mid-to-long-range throw kung fu.

Face Thornton alone. Morris was full of confidence and singled Thornton with his back for three seconds, he turned and dribbled the ball to break inside, and Thornton could only retreat to chase the defense. To this, Morris got up directly. Hook hands to shoot the ball.

"Huh!"

There was a crunch. The basketball got into the hoop.

Tyberdu frowned and looked at the court, feeling a little bad.

In the next few rounds, the Rockets will pull away when they attack. Let Morris single Thornton on the inside.

Thornton's defense is indeed excellent, but if he wants to prevent death, it is now a bit of a fool's dream to explode the small universe Morris, and there is no way, Tyberdu has to let Li Feng and Thornton switch defenses.

Morris got the ball again, he faced Li Feng, he still bumped backwards with his back to Li Feng, but the opponent not only did not move, but forced him back to take two steps.

Delfino used mobility to run out of space with Harden's cover, Morris passed the ball decisively, the opponent got the ball and scored the basket, and when Li Feng didn't have time to make up for the defense, he made a jump shot and scored two more points.

Tyberdu looked up at the score, with the visitors behind and the Knicks holding a slight lead. Seeing this, he still called a timeout, and most of the first quarter had passed, and at this time some weapons could be revealed.

"DeMarcus, replace Al! JR, you came on for Mark, you know what I mean? Boost your outside attack firepower! Striker, your positioning remains the same, save the body, attract the bag and then divide the ball out, understand? ”

Taberduli shouted.

The Knicks player nodded, ready to step onto the court again.

Fans in Madison Square Garden stood up and cheered them on, cheering on the players:

"Come on, Knicks, take out the Houstoners, we're going to win 22 in a row!"

The Knicks' mascot came up and gave each player a hug, and the cheerleading girls who came off the court also gave them lucky kisses.

"Knicks, play!"

Li Feng roared wildly and took the lead on the court.

"Knicks, play!"

Cousins yelled with the other three men.

Li Feng served to Dragic, who squinted his eyes and ran forward with the ball with his left hand past Li Feng, Beverley wanted to chase it, but was blocked by Li Feng, and could only watch Dragic insert into the three-point line and attack the basket directly from the wing.

Harden, who was originally responsible for defending Li Feng, had to switch defenses, and he pressed Dragic with his strong body, but the opponent did not entangle him at all, and turned around to pass the ball to Li Feng outside the three-point line.

There was only one Beverley beside Li Feng, and he quickly leaned over and knocked away his opponent with his shoulder, and then pulled up, holding the ball above his head with his right hand, his eyes were firm!

After hitting the three-point shot, Li Feng proudly raised his arm and stretched out three fingers after landing on the ground, and the fans stood up feverishly and shouted:

"MVP, Tyrannosaurus Rex! MVP, Beast! MVP, Boss! ”

Harden gave Beverley a stupid serve, muttering:

"It's just a goal, what's there to be arrogant about? Lao Tzu will give you one back, I am the boss. ”

Beverley didn't take care of Harden's affections, but still passed the ball to Morris on the inside.

In this game, Morris played in form, but Morris is also in trouble now because he is now facing Cousins, a fat cat.

Thornton has good defensive awareness and physical qualities, while Cousins relies more on his strong body to give strong pressure to his opponents, while Thornton uses strong bounce, speed and reach to interfere with or block opponents' layups. To put it bluntly, Cousins likes to strike first, and Thornton is good at making last-strikes.

As soon as Morris got the ball, Cousins stuck in from behind, his chest muscles tightened, and his firm crotch pressed against the opponent's ass, pushing him out of the way with a single blow.

Seeing this scene, Barkley laughed, he looked at Morris with pity, and said:

"Morris's poor ass is going to suffer, I know what this scoundrel Cousins is trying to do, he wants to blow up Morris's asshole!"

Smith agreed:

'It's the right way to defend. To reduce Morris's threat, let him stay away from the hoop. The farther away the better! Although his mid-range shot is very sharp, with Li Feng supplementing the defense, this can be ignored. ”

"Morris must be envious of me at this point, because if he has a big ass as attractive as mine, Cousins' defense is a joke, and he can sit and die with this guy, haha. It's a pity that not everyone has a big ass like me, so Li Feng will have a big future, because he is the closest person to me in terms of body type. Barkley said with a shy face.

Smith laughed and said:

"Li Feng is 20 centimeters taller than you. Sir Charles at 1.86m! ”

Barkley snarled with a dark face:

"Lao Tzu is 98 meters ......"

Morris retreats with the ball. Trying to distance himself from Cousins, who kept pressing him and kept pushing him out of the box, Morris wanted to use the space advantage to break through. Li Feng got rid of Harden and came up to wrap him.

See here. Morris had no choice but to raise his arms high to pass the ball. As soon as the ball flew out, Dragic rushed out from the flank and stabbed it out, and Monroe tacitly grabbed the ball. Dragic landed and lunged forward.

After receiving Monroe's pass, he came directly to a half-time fifteen-meter long pass: J.R. Smith has rushed into the front penalty area!

After receiving a pass from Dragic, J.R. Smith took a three-step pick-and-roll and sent the ball into the hoop with precision.

McHale frowned and roared:

"Hey, don't let them attack quickly, card slot, card slot, card slot! Damn, didn't I tell you what to do?! ”

Beverley ran forward with the ball, Dragic came up and pestered him to pick up the ball, Delfino rushed to catch it, and after getting the ball, he quickly rushed into the three-point line and shook Dragic for a jumper.

Harden cut in from the restricted area, Delfino didn't shoot, but passed the ball to him, and when he got the ball, Harden raised his head and made a shooting feint, Li Feng was motionless, staring at the opponent half a step away in front of him.

Seeing this, Harden didn't dare to move, so he had to pass the ball to Beverley on the perimeter, who took advantage of Dragic's relaxation to dribble the ball with his left hand and stride through.

Beverley, who has never shown much of a face, bared his fangs at this moment, broke through Dragic's blockade, and after breaking through Dragic's blockade, he took advantage of his small size to swim inside, and finally threw a shot under the basket to cut down two points.

From 17 to 21, the Rockets bit the score very tightly, and both sides played conservatively, with less than 1 minute left in the first quarter.

Li Feng got the ball in the free throw area, he carried the ball on his shoulders and faced Harden, first tried his steps to make a breakthrough, the latter hurriedly took half a step back, seeing this, Li Feng moved one step back and jumped up quickly, leaned back to open the distance, aimed at the hoop and tossed the ball in his hand.

Harden was startled, chased and jumped, and raised his hand to block the flying basketball. But there is a distance between the two, and Li Feng still leans back to make a jumper, not to mention blocking, and he didn't even interfere with him.

"Huh!"

The basketball falls into the hoop and carries the net around.

Beverley broke through again, Dragic chased him closely, forced him to pass the ball, and Delfino got on the ball for a jumper.

Everyone turned their eyes to the basketball hoop, and there was a 'boom' sound, and the pleasant sound of striking iron sounded.

Li Feng ran and jumped, hugged the basketball into his arms, and shouted:

"A ton of iron!"

The Rockets' players retreated like a tidal wave, and Dragic pressed the tempo.

Cousins was on the inside, Li Feng slipped down the baseline, Kirilenko and J.R. Smith were scattered outside the three-point line on the left and right wings, and Dragic watched the basket and made a direct pass.

Morris and Harden captured Li Feng together, and the two wrapped him up to death, but what about the ball?

Cousins got the ball and was unguarded, and he even had time to adjust his stance and footwork to end the game with a turnaround dunk that he hadn't performed in a long time.

McHale shook his head, the first quarter of the game was too stinky, mainly after Cousins came on the court, the Knicks' interior offensive end was opened.

With 26 seconds left, Beverley dribbled the ball to the death, and in the final eight seconds, Morris and Delfino covered each other, the former rushing from the low post to the high post, and the latter running from the high post to the low post, and Beverley hurriedly passed the ball to Morris.

Getting the ball, Morris faced Kirilenko and jumped up to shoot.

This misalignment played beautifully, and the Knicks players hadn't reacted yet, and they had already made a successful offense.

Tyberdu was ready to take a timeout with only 5.8 seconds to go. You can also play a whistle ball.

Dragic shook his hand, he motioned for Cousins to serve, and after getting the ball, he turned sharply and shook off Beverley, ran downward, and rushed to the inside of the Rockets like a gallop, without hesitation!

This kind of pure speed impact is Iverson's best offensive tactic, and it is easy to disrupt the opposing defense, and Dragic has done this, and both Harden and Delfino are intrigued. When the two found a hole in their defense. It's too late to fill in the gaps.

Not only did Dragic rush forward at high speed, but Li Feng was also running wildly, inserting himself into the three-point line from the middle of the left wing, like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of the rocket. Sharp, fierce and fast!

Dragic seems to have guessed Li Feng's choice a long time ago. Don't look at the lateral pass. Li Feng received the ball, his body speed did not decrease, and he still ran wildly inward. After taking three steps in succession, he had already entered the penalty area, and then jumped into the air with lightning speed.

At this time, the Rockets' people were still paying attention to Dragic, and in the blink of an eye, Li Feng had already rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and his arms were waved to dunk heavily.

The rebounds then turned red, and the first quarter was over, leaving the score 19-25 with the Knicks in the lead.

Seeing Li Feng's unscrupulous impact and violent buckle, the two old men in TNT's live broadcast room shook their heads:

"The Rockets' defense has problems, this is not a strong team at all, they are leaking, and they are missing the most undesirable people, Harden's defense is like tofu, this is not the Rockets we are familiar with."

At the end of the first quarter, although the Rockets didn't fall behind by much, the points they lost happened when they shouldn't have conceded points, which is what puzzled expert reporters and veteran fans the most.

Being able to lead by 6 points is not that the Knicks played well, in fact, the Knicks did not play the strength of the first place in the East in the first quarter, and if the Rockets seized the opportunity, they could even lead by double digits.

Fans can see this problem, and the manager on the pitch has no problem. Taberdu held the tactical board and shouted as he deployed the tactics according to the plan:

"In the second quarter, Li Feng will be the main attacker, guys, let him come, Harden's soft bones are most afraid of Li Feng, I know that this guy is not a tough guy at all, he is a girl with plastic muscles!"

There is also a bit of a trick between Tyberdu and Harden, after all, Tyberdu once wanted to treat Harden as the first person other than Li Feng, but Cousins improved too fast, and Rose arrived, but he still gave Harden enough trust, and the Knicks also gave Harden a maximum salary before, who knew that he would still go to Houston to be his boss.

McHale also spotted the problem, and today Harden seemed to be sleepwalking, cringing both offensively and defensively, and he swapped out two guards for Garcia and Machado.

The Rockets' guard line is blue-collar and has no defenders as talented as Dragic to rely on, relying on a strong forward line of Morris, Harden and Delfino. If Harden continues to slump today, then they lose this game.

Instead of replacing Harden, McHale gave him a deep trust:

"James, take out their number one, you can do it, because you have Houston's hardest bones in you!"

Tyberdu also briefly adjusted the lineup, Harden's slump allowed him to use the heavy cannon of JR Smith, originally Kirilenko went up to defend Harden, and now the opponent is so soft, it is a good time for JR Smith to play.

Coming back in the second quarter, Harden saw that it was JR Smith who was defending him, and he suddenly came to his senses, he took the initiative to ask Jill for the ball in the three-second zone, and sat hard in with his big buttocks, and JR Smith howled miserably and was almost injured internally.

With the gap, Harden turned around and performed the overlord step, drove in like a tank, and lifted his foot to shoot.

Li Feng strode sideways and rushed up, stood up without delay, waved his hand and slapped the racket, and flew the racket out of the court.

"Ahh

After landing on the ground, Li Feng roared at Harden, and Crawford's shining bald head appeared like a ghost beside the two.

"I was a little excited for a while, I couldn't hold back, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Morris served to Delfino, who faced Li Feng's defense, slowly turned around, and when Li Feng followed, he accelerated sharply, turned his body to the right, and bypassed Li Feng's defense like a spinning top, jumping up is passing!

Li Feng was not deceived by him, and he was still firmly following him, if Delfino insisted on shooting, then wait for the hat, don't expect Li Feng to be polite.

Delfino passed the ball to Morris, and Cousins ran over it like a tank, forcing the opposition to pass.

In the end, 24 seconds ago, Morris was about to get the ball and hurriedly shot, and the basketball undoubtedly bounced on the hoop, making a 'bang' iron sound, and was fished into Cousins' arms.

The ball was transferred to Dragic, and when his teammates were in position, Dragic passed the ball to J.R. Smith outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and ran inside with Jones.

J.R. Smith made a false shot, Harden was unmoved, and had to pass the ball to Belineri, who did not hesitate to jump and shoot, and the basketball hit the rebound with the same 'bang'.

Li Feng rushed into the restricted area unreasonably like an ancient rhinoceros, Morris hurriedly turned around and stuck him, and took advantage of this opportunity, Cousins rose from the ground, raised his huge arm in anger, grabbed the rebound with one hand, and smashed his arm down while falling, and forced a one-handed violent dunk.

"Roar!"

Cousins let out a wild roar, he slapped his chest hard, and the old fans of Madison Square Garden were in a trance.

Now Cousins, reminding fans of the gorilla of the 90s.

Seeing that Harden still didn't show anything, McHale angrily called a timeout, and as soon as the former walked off the court, he tore his jersey and looked up and began to ask:

"James, look me in the eye! Sue me, is this the boss of the rocket?! You're scared of shit Li Feng?! Yes, you were terrified by him! If I were you, I should be shivering at his feet, wouldn't I?! ”

Harden was enraged by McHale's merciless words, and he pushed the other man away, glaring and scolding, but McHale spoke faster:

"If you really admit defeat, then you might as well stay in the Knicks and be Li Feng's lackey!"

"I'm not, I'm the boss!"

McHale was interrupted by a roar from Harden, his eyes widening as if he were an enraged bull, his thick nostrils spewing out of a violent breath and a look of rebelliousness.

"Show me the fucking proof!"

McHale spat out the phrase almost word by word. (To be continued......)
