In the next two rounds, the hands of both sides fluctuated, and the opportunities came out, but the basketball just didn't score. With five minutes to go, the Pistons opened up again, and Jerebko received the ball in the low post, turned and dribbled past Cousins for a layup. Prince quickly understood Li Feng's strength, and the Knicks players pulled away, creating a heads-up opportunity for Li Feng.

Li Feng hit the current Prince with a move, received the ball with his back and dribbled a few times, turned around and jumped, and hit the board at a 45-degree angle on the right side in a row.

With 3 minutes and 19 seconds left, Prince jumped early to block Li Feng's shot, but was fouled by Li Feng, and was replaced for the second foul and replaced by Damian Wilkins.

After this substitution, the Pistons lost active scoring points.

The Pistons began to wrap Li Feng and couldn't let him shoot in the same position.

Li Feng attracted the pass on the defence and Monroe and Cousins got their chances and both played well.

With two minutes left in the game, Cousins was replaced by Serge Ibaka, and the crowd gave him a round of applause, and Uncle Cousins dominated the interior today.

In the first quarter, Li Feng scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Knicks led by 27 points 44-17, and there was no suspense about the victory.

When approaching the playoffs, the Knicks played perfect team basketball in this game, scoring more points, high assists, and guaranteed defensive intensity.

After the rotation, the Knicks sent Ibaka, Parsons, Kirilenko, J.R. Smith, Livingston. The Knicks' tactics were similar to the starting lineup, with Serge Ibaka in the low post, Parsons pulling in to cover on the perimeter, Smith attacking with the ball, and Livingston and Kirilenko running.

The Pistons' Wright is back on the court, and Smith is the main defense. Parsons pick-and-roll. That's probably the Knicks' only weakness. Parsons and Ibaka are not good enough when it comes to pick-and-roll.

Compared to other teams, the Pistons' second lineup is good, Dayer, Villanueva, Singler, Wilbinham, Wright.

Livingston misplaced Bynum, leaving the guy barely able to catch the ball. The Pistons will have to rely on Wright to organize the offense. On the defensive end, the Knicks did a more successful job of compressing the defense, and the Pistons' two interior benches were not as offensive as the starters. The difference between the two sides continued to widen, and after 3 minutes of play, it widened to 31 points.

The applause of the audience gradually became much smaller. The Knicks slaughtered the underdogs and couldn't ignite their passions. Seeing that the situation was going down, Cheeks let Starkey play early, wanting to steal points in Li Feng's absence, and formed a double guard with Wright.

The Knicks did not make substitutions, Li Feng was not there and Livingston was still very strict, and the Pistons offense was still not open.

Six minutes were played in the second quarter, and the Knicks made a substitution.

Cousins, Harden, and Li Feng came on the court, and Monroe continued to sit on the sidelines to rest.

Tyberdeau can allocate the playing time of several interior players very well, and Monroe and Cousins can get more than 35 minutes regardless of who starts. The Knicks' interior bench is mainly Ibaka, and the others are small forwards who play power forwards. Li Feng, Kirilenko, Parsons can. As soon as the three are up, the team's attack power will immediately increase.

The defensive ability has also become stronger, Livingston is still on the court, he is dealing with Wright, and Li Feng is facing Starkey.

Cheeks hurriedly replaced Prince. The Pistons replaced the main force, but Dayer replaced Jerebko to guard the basket, and Prince went to defend Li Feng again.

Li Feng was not polite, and started to play alone again, using a one-step pull-up jump shot with the ball, attacking with his back in a misplaced position, and continuously ravaging Prince's nerves.

Li Feng scored 8 points in a row, and there was a high-level turn and jump shot. This trick has been recognized as legal by default by the Alliance. He combined a big stride with a jump, faster and more violent, which not everyone can do.

If you want to prevent Li Feng from death, you have to wrap the clip, but the bag clamp may not be able to prevent it, the piston can't distinguish people, only Livingston can relax a little, Wright went to the bag clamp and it didn't work, Li Feng ignored him, relying on the height advantage of how to shoot or how to shoot.

When an inside player goes to wrap up Li Feng, he will pass the ball. Both Harden and Cousins got easy shots in the high post.

The Knicks' offensive Pistons couldn't defend, and the Pistons could only shoot from the outside, and Starkey was helpless by Li Feng's defense, shooting 0 of 5 in the second quarter, and only scored two points on free throws.

The Pistons' offense didn't improve. Their interior can be emptied, receiving the ball under the basket, the Knicks will use foul tactics, whether it is Markhill or Dayer, the free throws are terrible.

At halftime, the Knicks led by 42 points, 76-36, and narrowly missed a 50-point half. In the second half, Li Feng continued to play, and Tyberdu arranged a double cover for him, allowing him to break through the inside line and play Deye, and the Pistons could only use fouls to block Li Feng.

The Knicks used action to tell the Pistons what the gap was, and after Li Feng broke through, he attracted the defense and shared the ball, completely disrupting the Pistons defense and making the offense blossom more.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks took a big lead and the game went into garbage time.

The Pistons can rest assured that Li Feng and others will not play in the fourth quarter.

The Knicks sent a full bench lineup to play with the Pistons, and the Pistons Starkey and Wright stayed on the court to continue playing, and it was still difficult to play against the combination of Livingston, Smith, and Parsons, and the Knicks had two players who were good at defense, with Ibaka and Kirilenko on the inside.

In order to get more playing time, these people all want to show themselves and play very hard, what makes Cheeks collapse is that even if the main force is off the court, the Knicks still take the initiative, without Li Feng, the Pistons can't beat the Knicks.

The Knicks' current roster, without Li Feng, they should be able to make the playoffs, and at least pass the first round. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Pistons gave up.

Cheeks made a substitution, and Starkey scored just 15 points in the game, eight of which came in the fourth quarter, hitting just four of his 20 shots. The Pistons' best performer was Jerebko with 18 points and 11 rebounds.

The Knicks scored 54 points with a 151-97 run and proved themselves to be the most offensive team in the league.

Eight members of the team scored in double figures.

Monroe had 19 points and 12 rebounds, Harden had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Cousins had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Li Feng had 28 points, 3 rebounds, 13 assists and 3 steals. Rose, Smith, Parsons and Kirilenko also scored in double figures.

The Knicks shot 74 percent from the field. Hit 21 three-pointers. The Pistons fiasco, not surprising.

As soon as the game ended, the reporter intercepted Li Feng and hoped that he would say a few words for the game.

Li Feng smiled and said:

"We're trying it out for the playoffs!"

……

Maybe you don't understand what Li Feng means after this game, but when the next three games. When the Knicks swept the opponent by 30 points, everyone understood that the Knicks were looking for their strongest firepower and the most stable scoring output lineup.

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and the teams ahead are preparing for the playoffs. The teams behind are doing their best to make the playoffs.

The Knicks have a relatively easy schedule after a tough first half of the season, and their opponent today is the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets' two interior starters, McGee and Farid, are not weak, they are a little worse offensively, but they can defend most of the team's interior, and the offense is mainly on the periphery, and experts are optimistic about the Nuggets in this game, even if they can't win, at least they will create some trouble for the Knicks.

The Nuggets are a young team with three young players at their core.

The Knicks coaching staff will not underestimate the Nuggets and analyzed the Nuggets' changes before the game. They can also create some threats to the Knicks,

The atmosphere at home of the Nuggets is very lively. Many fans held up signs saying "Beat the old club" to encourage Italian Garynelli. At the beginning of the game, players from both sides stood on the court, and the Knicks had five Cousins, Monroe, Li Feng, Parsons, and Rose.

The Nuggets have five, McGee, Farid, Garyneri, Afrado, Lawson.

Afrado has a very heavy task today, defending Li Feng on the outside, Lawson has to defend Parsons, the height gap is very large, and there is also a lot of defensive pressure.

At the beginning of the game, Monroe won against Farid with a jump ball, and the ball was given to Parsons, who passed to Li Feng.

As soon as Li Feng passed the half, he began to dribble with his back to the ball, arching Afrado forward.

Cousins pulled to the perimeter, Farid followed, McGee prevented Cousins from pressing too much, and McGee resisted Monroe on the inside.

Li Feng dribbled the ball to the left side, passed the ball to Monroe, who asked for the ball in the low post, and asked him to single McGee.

If Monroe could open in the low post, it would be a lot easier for the Knicks.

Monroe leaned on McGee, not only failed to squeeze into the penalty area, but was squeezed away from the penalty area by McGee, don't underestimate this step, it will make the players deviate in the shooting rhythm, McGee has the ability to limit Monroe.

Monroe took the ball and turned to the middle with his foot, dodged McGee's hook shot, and missed under McGee's interference, and Gary Neiri protected the backcourt rebound and threw it to Lawson.

The Nuggets often played quick counterattacks, Lawson received the ball and turned around to break through, Li Feng accurately blocked his breakthrough route and poked the ball out of the sideline.

The Nuggets sent a throw-in, and Gary Inside made a pull-up jumper to Parsons, and the ball was deflected.

The Knicks attacked, Li Feng passed the ball to Monroe again, but Monroe turned around again and missed the jumper, and McGee's defense was very successful.

In the opening game, both offenses were not smooth, Li Feng played the role of the team's axis, scoring two balls for Monroe, one for Parsons and one for Cousins, and their shots were all off.

On the Nuggets side, Gary Neri made one shot, Lawson twice, and Farid once, also in vain.

Cousins took the backcourt rebound and passed to Li Feng, no one came up to press, Li Feng took the ball to the front court, and shouted:

"Pull out for cover! Leave the offense to me. ”

Li Feng wants to attack directly with the ball from the backcourt.

McGee was strong today, and both defenses were successful, but his maneuvering defensive ability on the outside line was not so good due to his apparent underweight, so Monroe should withdraw to the outside line when playing against McGee and make good use of his footwork and speed. Cousins went 60 degrees beyond the three-point line on the right, Parsons went to the baseline, and Parsons ran on the left.

Monroe pulled to the top of the arc to cover, and the man who switched the guard became McGee.

Li Feng dribbled under the crotch and changed to the left side, McGee followed, Li Feng stopped the crotch dribble and handed it to his right hand to start in one step, and McGee opened the distance, took the ball and jumped with both feet, this step he completely shook off the defense and entered the basket, and scored with one hand with his right hand!

The Nuggets attacked, Gary Neiri missed a jumper, and Farid grabbed the rebound and touched the ball out of the baseline.

Dead ball, Knicks choose substitution, James Harden. Parsons is off.

Parsons followed up with a couple of switchbacks. Nothing to play. But there was no mistake, replacing him at this time was not because he made a mistake, Li Feng and Rose did not have a strong desire to score today, and replacing Harden could help him share the pressure. Against Afrado, who has little offensive power at the No. 2 position, Harden will not be a defensive hole.

Parsons finally started once, and was soon substituted again, and he was very depressed. But you can only accept the arrangement.

The Knicks' substitution is a signal that Li Feng is going to attack.

Harden went to the frontcourt, Li Feng received the ball and walked on the right side, and a quick stop jump shot missed, and the ball Gary Neiri changed his defense and interfered successfully.

The rebound was picked up by McGee and passed to Lawson, who dribbled to the front court and passed to Gary Neri, who ran out of the line.

Farid covers, Gary breaks through with the ball, and a one-step stop-and-jump shot on the right side! It's a simple and effective trick. Those who have a height advantage are difficult to defend themselves against when they are good, and Garyneri's best thing is this pull-up jumper.

Knicks offense. Harden dribbled the ball across the half, Li Feng pulled to the outside to block and dismantle, Harden used his cover to break through from the left side, and Li Feng ran to the right side to prepare to receive the ball.

Gary Neri could only switch defenses, and Harden passed back to Li Feng on the outside to single Lawson.

This is a dislocation of height disparity, Li Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch twice, and took a step outside the arc to meet Lawson to pull out a three-point shot, although Lawson bounced well, but he was too short to cover him, and the ball hit steadily!

Today's game is TNT Straight. Broadcast, "Magic" Johnson shouted:

"Li Feng's advantages have been brought into play, and he is one-on-one with the defender, and Lawson is impossible to prevent him. The Nuggets can't let up their defense against Harden, and he's almost guaranteed to score in the open space. ”

The Nuggets attacked, and Gary Neri passed to Lawson, who broke through by covering and threw up to score.

Li Feng blocked Harden again, which was a very powerful move, the interior players were pulled out, and Rose alone attracted the defense in the low post.

The Nuggets had to switch defenses, and at this point, Cousins gave Li Feng no ball cover on the perimeter, and Harden passed the ball back and turned it into a Farid defense.

Li Feng's outside crotch dribble and back dribble past Farid burst inside, attracting Afrado to pass after making up the defense, and Rose scored an empty jumper.

The Knicks focused their offense on the perimeter, and the Nuggets began to get tired of it.

Gary Neri's jumper missed again, Cousins won the backcourt rebound, the Knicks broke fast, Li Feng rushed to the front, and Lawson had to keep up with Li Feng.

Li Feng received a long pass from Rose at the free throw line, he dribbled with his back to Lawson, resisted the opponent and turned to score a basketball with a low hand, Lawson had excellent bounce power but was squeezed and couldn't jump. "Magic" Johnson exclaimed:

"Once the Knicks break fast, Li Feng will definitely form a misalignment with the opponent's guard, which is the most difficult to defend, and if the Nuggets want to win, the offensive efficiency must be higher."

Van Gundy asked:

"You also liked to bully the opposing defender like this back then, right?"

Johnson laughed:

"I don't have such an exaggerated physical quality as Li Feng, people in that era were still relatively thin, if Li Feng was in that era, he would definitely rule the alliance."

Van Gundy was stunned and said:

"Do you think he's stronger than Jordan?"

Johnson did not deny it, and said in the right color:

"I'm sure he's more versatile than Jordan, he's capable of playing five positions both offensively and defensively, he's too strong."

At this time, Lawson dribbled horizontally to find cover and break through, he changed direction and accelerated past Monroe, Cousins made up for the defense, Lawson gave the vacant Farid, who took a step on the left side and wanted to dunk with one hand, Li Feng quickly entered the basket on the periphery, made up for the defense in place, and pressed the ball down from the air.

The height difference between the two is not large, Li Fengli has the advantage, Farid lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground sideways, the referee did not blow a foul, the ball was seen very clearly, and there was no hitter.

After landing on the ground, Li Feng picked up the basketball and held it in his arms, there was no fast attack, and he believed that he would be more sure to throw the ball into the basket in the positional battle.

Rose took the ball to the frontcourt, Li Feng took the ball on the periphery and turned to face the frame, Gary Neiri changed the defense, he wanted to play against Li Feng, he wanted to beat Li Feng.

The players pulled away, giving room for the two team's best attackers to go head-to-head in the middle, and a lot of fans also stood up, some of whom supported not only Gary but also Li Feng, who didn't care about winning or losing, just wanted to watch a good game.

Li Feng observed the surroundings with the peripheral vision of his eyes, there was enough space, and he thought about what to do next. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his right hand, leaned forward, and suddenly slammed the ball to the left back, quickly bending his wrist as he patted the ball, allowing the ball to spin a little, while he slid to the left.

Gary hurriedly followed, he thought it was a change of direction and the ball would break through from the left, and looked at Li Feng's empty hand.

Gary was stunned, Li Feng had already stopped and changed direction and ran to the position just now to get the ball.

He actually made a pass!

In a hurry, Gary twisted his weight and nearly fell. Li Feng picked up the basketball and pulled out the jump shot, Afrado couldn't make up for it, and the ball went into the net! The referee's whistle is in his mouth and there is no foul, if a player accidentally dribbles the ball and turns around to catch up and dribble, how can he blow a foul? Li Feng's feint is similar to that kind of situation, but it is intentional.

Gary was tricked again, and no one applauded Li Feng in order to take care of his face, but he still felt very depressed.

He wanted to return one, cover Lawson first, and ask for the ball in the front court, Li Feng knew what he meant, deliberately gave Lawson space to pass the ball back, and said softly in front of Garyn:

"Come on! Give it a try! ”

"I'm going to beat you!"

Gary shouted, raising his hand for the ball.

As one of the nuggets of rebuilding, the Italian has shown a rare determination and iron will in Europeans, and more and more people support him. Lawson passes the ball to Garyneri, the other players pull away, and Gary is going to attack! (To be continued.) )
