Chapter 334: Physical Strength Problems

Felton didn't expect Chen Feng to start so quickly, and quickly set up a defensive posture in the three-point line, with a pair of eyes, staring at Chen Feng tightly, not daring to slack off.

With a "squeak", Chen Feng's high-speed starting body, one step within the three-point line, actually stopped abruptly, the toes and the floor instantly made a fierce friction sound, without the slightest stop, the body jumped, the ball was raised high, and with a gentle push of both hands, the ball quickly flew out of his fingers.

"Huh", the ball fell into the net in response, and after landing, Chen Feng's right fist was clenched, and he slammed it his chest and roared.

Filton shook his head, this Chen Feng is really a monster, his physical fitness is really surprisingly good, in just a few steps, he can move from static to still, and can return to stillness in an instant, everything that seems simple here, there is no shocking explosive power, good body coordination, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the balance of the body.

"What a ball!" In the studio of the imperial court station, Sun Zhenping and Xu Jiping couldn't help but say a word.

The Knicks' counterattack was very fast, after Chen Feng scored, the ball was passed quickly, except for Field, who fell behind in possession of the ball, several other players quickly penetrated into the Spurs' half of the court like a tide, and the speed of penetration dwarfed the Spurs' defensive players, and the ball flew out quickly before the Fielders passed the half.

Field's awareness was really good, and at once he saw the undefended players around Amare Stoudemire, and the ball was in his hands as soon as possible, and the latter took two light steps and threw the ball high in front of Derrick Favors' defense. The ball went by a single line and passed through Derrick Favors' raised right hand and the ball went into the net with ease.

The Spurs counterattacked, Chen Feng used Leonard's cover, jumped outside the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer with a "swish".

A two-point shot, a three-pointer, after Chen Feng hit two consecutive balls, in less than two minutes of the opening game. I've scored 5 points in a row.

Filton walks around the top of the arc with the ball. A glance at the whole field, then a beautiful ground-hitting pass got into the hands of Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony singled Leonard and hit a turnaround step-back jumper.

Carmelo Anthony's back-to-back ability is outstanding. Unless it's because you don't feel good in your hand. Otherwise, it's hard to prevent.

Spurs' offense. Parker made a 45-degree shot from beyond the three-point line on the right wing, but unfortunately missed, and Filton collected the defensive rebound.

It's Felton again. He shared the ball from the baseline, assisted Hardaway Jr. at the top of the arc, and scored from beyond the three-point line.

Under Felton's transfer, the Knicks played a wave of 7-2, and three Knicks players won one after another.

Both teams seemed to be more obsessed with offense in the first quarter, but it was clear that the Knicks' many scorers had more options in their offensive approach.

Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire and Felton can all score, and they all have good scoring ability.

The Spurs' offense is very monotonous, except for Derrick Favors' inside score, only Chen Feng's long-range shot on the outside, but under the Knicks' attack, Chen Feng has too few opportunities to shoot. After hitting two consecutive balls in the opening game, in the next five minutes, Chen Feng only relied on free throws to score two points, and the other two shots were all missed, and the other players had a lot of opportunities.

However, they were a little hesitant to shoot tonight. With the fast-paced speed of the Knicks, the shooting time left for them is very limited, and after a slight hesitation in their hearts, the supplementary defenders immediately appeared in front of them, and the few opportunities that Chen Feng finally created were wasted.

Popovich's hair was grabbed by him, from the beginning of the game, his butt barely touched the chair, has been wandering on the sidelines, constantly shouting loudly on the sidelines, but the more anxious he is, the worse the situation on the field, several players who were not very stable in their mentality, after being reprimanded by him, acted more hesitantly and slowly, and made repeated mistakes.

Popovich had played Woodson before the game, so he took this game very seriously.

With three minutes and 48 seconds left in the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Knicks by six points at 15-21. Then JR Smith hit a three-pointer off the bench, and the Knicks quickly opened up the deficit at 24-15.

Popovich reluctantly called a timeout, extremely disappointed, but calmed his head, and realized that his shouting just now not only did not help, but made the player at a loss.

"This game is probably not as simple as we thought it would be, they were good, at least this game! So we had the most difficult game. I'm also going to take the main responsibility for the way the game is played, but it's not a question of who is responsible, it's the first quarter anyway and we have plenty of time to make up for it.

For the Knicks team, I don't need to say more, it's not that I haven't played against each other before, and everyone has a personal feeling about them. Although our foothold in this game is defense, everyone knows that with our current lineup, we can't completely prevent their individual attack, so how do we do it?

In addition to strengthening our defense, we have to strengthen our own offense, and there is no other choice but to do this. The Knicks' defense is not very strong, and in the game, they are attacking, attacking and defending, which is the most accurate description for the Knicks, we can only suppress the opponent in defense and catch up with the opponent in the offense. ”

Popovich's tactical arrangement is very simple, that is, rapid running, a wide range of interspersed runs, using speed to bring up the offense, with an offense that does not care about the consequences, as long as there is an opportunity, do not hesitate at all, quickly throw the ball to the basket, and if the shot misses, he will not blame. But if an opportunity arises and it is missed, it will be severely criticized by Popovich.

However, in this way, the pressure on Derrick Favors and Duncan on the interior is even greater, in addition to putting enough pressure on the Knicks on offense, and maintaining a certain rate of control on rebounding, fortunately, Derrick Favors and Duncan are in surprisingly good shape today, and in the more than eight minutes that have been carried out, he has put a lot of pressure on the Knicks' interior, and he has performed well in three aspects: offense, defense, and rebounding.

During the timeout, the Knicks made some changes to their lineup, with Banyani replacing Tyson Chandler.

Popovich looked at the players of the Knicks team with red eyes, the game has been played for so long, it stands to reason that he should also make adjustments to the lineup, in addition to ensuring the physical strength of the players, a set of lineups playing for too long will allow the other party to gradually find a way to cope, but after sweeping a few players on the bench, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, now the score has been pulled away by the opponent so much, if it is swaying at this time, there is no need to play the next game.

Chen Feng gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, he knew very well in his heart that he was going to change his previous style of play and blindly look for a three-point opportunity on the outside, which now seems to be unlikely, two Knicks players who are close to the defense, like maggots attached to the bone, as long as the ball is in their hands, they will immediately appear by their side, not even a trace of space for themselves, although with their own strength, Chen Feng is still confident that he has time to break through their defense.

"No, you can't make such a reckless breakthrough." Chen Feng thought while controlling the ball.

Although he can use his absolute speed to break through the opponent's bag defense, he may not have any chance if he is so reluctant to break through. And. Chen Feng has always believed that the most deterrent moment of basketball is that it is constantly running, any pass may create an excellent killing opportunity, the ball is too sticky to the hands of a player, for the player, for the team, I am afraid it is not a good thing, nor is it in line with the team spirit of basketball.

The ball quickly passed into the hands of Derry Favors, Derrick Favors dribbled with his right hand, concentrated his strength on his left shoulder, kept pushing against Amare Stoudemire behind him, and approached the basket step by step.

Seeing that time passed little by little, Derek Favors knew that if it went on like this, he might not be able to bargain, taking advantage of an opportunity to exert his strength, but the ball was quickly handed over to the outside, in the eyes of everyone, Derek Favors's next action must be to push Amar Stoudemier and burst the dunk with one hand, after all, his performance just now was very close, the green tendons of his face exploded, and pieces of muscles burst out, how could he never have thought that before the most fierce impact came, he actually passed the ball out.

The opportunity that finally appeared, Chen Feng naturally would not miss it, at the moment when the ball arrived in his hand, the person had already jumped up quickly, and the ball stayed in his hand for a very short time, and it flew out of his fingers.

After landing, Chen Feng took a long breath, in the few minutes of the game just now, seeing the opponent tie the score and overtake, and the scores of the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, but he can't win on the outside, he is really aggrieved in his heart, and this ball can be a big breath in his heart.

Woodson shook his head helplessly, although he has always admired Amare Stoudemire, except for Carmelo Anthony, he is his own player, but now compared to Derrick Favors's strength, he is indeed a lot inferior.

The Knicks' offensive tactics are not too good, but their individual ability is really good, the players on the floor can play a role, and the multi-point blossoming makes it difficult for the opponent to defend, while the Spurs only rely on Chen Feng and Derrick Favors to score and bite the score to the death, and finally ended the first quarter with a score of 25:36.
