Popovich made a trade-off, or decided to let the more stable Parker play, this safe decision was completely due to Popovich's own conservative character. With this in mind, Popovich beckoned Parker over and whispered in Parker's ear:

"Tony, you play. Remember to hold the table! ”

Popovich didn't ask Tony Parker much, that's all, but Popovich knew Parker understood what he was saying.

The Spurs finally couldn't help but put Parker on the court, and everyone understood. The Spurs can't help but stop this situation on the court, and stopping this situation means that the Spurs will not condone Li Feng's unscrupulous scoring.

Popovich replaced a Parker and immediately called Blair over. Blair came over and bowed down to Popovich, who also lectured him face-to-face:

"De Juan, you go defend Li Feng. Remember, pester him, don't let him get the ball lightly, and keep him away from the basket! ”

Blair nodded in front of the manager before returning to the pitch.

At the end of the timeout on the Spurs' sideline, Blair threw the ball out on the sideline, but it was not Parker who received the ball, but Mills.

The Spurs are on this lineup, with Mills still playing point guard and Parker switching to point guard.

Such an arrangement is actually much more reasonable than Parker playing point guard, and it reduces a lot of pressure on Parker.

Mills took control of the ball, ran over, pulled himself first, and waited for his teammates to cover Parker for the ball.

He just passed the basketball to Parker's palm, and Parker had the same responsibility as Li Feng just now.

It's the steady dìng pitch, or to put it simply, a person who puts the team on his shoulder.

It's a heavy responsibility, and it's not something anyone can do, and those who can do it must be first-class stars.

Parker received the basketball. Parsons, who glanced at the Knicks standing in front of him, had a very good qualification, but he was a rookie, and to deal with rookies, these guys in the league always had some rogue methods.

Parker isn't a scoundrel, but he's also willing to teach rookies a little lesson, so almost from the moment he met Parsons, Parker figured out what to do!

Parker started dribbling, and the Spurs players immediately pulled away, giving room to Parker. The moment the space opened, Parker immediately broke through on the right with the ball. Breaking through a step, I saw that Parker's hand was very sticky, and he suddenly retracted the basketball and made a crotch feint, and then suddenly changed direction and broke up to the left.

Parker's speed of changing direction is really not the fastest, but the sense of rhythm is very good, and he makes moves the moment others make a loophole.

Parsons still lacked a specific understanding of Parker, so he easily let Parker break through.

When he chased from behind, he saw Parker on the move, turning back with one hand to block Parsons and holding the ball with the other. Threw the basketball into the Knicks' basket at once. Parker also scored on the court.

Li Feng is easy to use, Parker is also very easy to use, Parker also scored, according to Popovich. He also stabilized the situation.

Parker's technique is well-balanced, he is good at using his rhythm, and he has a strong ability to take chances, and this skill between the baskets is also a must for him.

Li Feng saw Parker score again. He began to run slowly towards the Spurs' half. At this time, Li Feng's heart is also transparent, this part of the game is the game between himself and Parker.

If the score closes, you win. The score is Parker's win, and at this time, although the two are not in place, they are indeed absolute opponents.

Li Feng thought so, and suddenly looked up, and saw that the person who defended him had also changed, it was Danny Green who defended Li Feng just now, and now it was Blair all of a sudden.

The difference is huge, Danny Green is a small forward build, just moderate in height and size, but Blair is a big forward.

Li Feng also frowned when he saw Blair coming to defend him, but he only frowned and did not stop at his feet, and inserted into the Spurs' interior line to get stuck in the main position.

The Spurs' defense of Li Feng is still very good, and Li Feng rarely has the opportunity to receive the ball inside. But now that the Spurs' bench lineup is up, Li Feng has more opportunities all of a sudden, after all, there is still a gap between the Spurs' bench lineup and the main lineup.

Including Blair, who defended behind Li Feng, also had less defensive experience, Li Feng stepped in horizontally, and the Spurs actually let Li Feng succeed.

Li Feng got the ball in the low post, which was definitely an opportunity for the Knicks, so Belineri immediately passed the ball to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng got the ball, held the ball first, and took root under the Spurs' basket like a wooden stake.

Letting Blair push and shove, Li Feng didn't move, and the moment he received the ball, Li Feng was also thinking about how to deal with this guy.

Pay attention, Li Feng suddenly turned over and turned towards the middle lane after he stopped his footsteps.

Li Feng made such a vigorous move, and sure enough, he was not disappointed Blair behind him struggling to push Li Feng behind him, and Li Feng suddenly turned to the bottom line with the help of this power.

The footsteps inserted first, and then raised his hand to a dot, Li Feng suddenly turned around and feint, and Blair jumped up subconsciously.

But before he jumped, he felt that he had been fooled, but it was too late.

Li Feng waited for him underground for a while, and then easily sent the basketball into the Spurs' basket with a low hand.

Li Feng scored again, and in response to Parker's response, Li Feng did not give up.

Now the competition between the two teams, for a specific period of time, has become the counterpart of Li Feng and Parker.

Parker, as a core player in the NBA, has a lot more confidence and resilience than Li Feng.

Now that he has met an opponent, Parker will never retreat.

This guy also asked for the ball directly at Mills in the Knicks' half, after getting the basketball. Parker immediately tugged, then immediately called for cover.

Blair came up to give Parker a cover. Parker made a one-step jumper with a crisp lateral dribble, and Parker made another jumper.

Parker was so powerful, and he succeeded again and again, and the pressure was transferred to Li Feng again.

At this juncture, what is tested is Li Feng's willpower. Even if they are playing off the bench, the pace of the Knicks is still a little faster than that of the Spurs.

The Knicks quickly pushed forward. Li Feng made a cover for his teammates on the outside and used himself to block Parker.

Li Feng quickly cut into the inside of the Spurs, and then suddenly turned around and stuck the position again.

Li Feng stuck in the main position again this time, and after getting the basketball, he played the same action as last time.

As soon as Blair saw Li Feng coming again, he suddenly learned smarter, and he didn't jump anymore.

But he didn't jump, but Li Feng clicked it, stuck it on Blair's body, jumped hard and turned it on. Li Feng instead stuck to Blair's body, and when he hit it, Li Feng won a chance to shoot a basketball again.

The difference between the two teams has increased from about 4 points to about 5 points now, and it can't be opened.

The score couldn't be opened, and the main lineups of the two teams were almost rested on both sides of the court. It was the fourth minute of the second quarter. Both teams have changed their main lineups.

At this time, when the main lineup appeared one after another, the pressure on the Knicks and the Spurs was gradually relieved from Li Feng and Parker, and the flat rhyme was distributed to all the players.

After Li Feng relieved the pressure. The task was different from the first quarter, and it was Duncan who defended Li Feng in the first quarter, so Li Feng's character took him away and opened up the space to play misplaced. Li Feng is more active on the three-point line.

But in the second quarter, Li Feng needed more deep low-post offense, because in the second quarter, Popovich refused to play with his original lineup.

He also came up with a small lineup and let Duncan play center. Blair remained on the court as a power forward, Mills as well, Parker as a shooting guard and Leonard as a small forward. The Spurs came up with this lineup, and they did gradually find some tricks to deal with the Knicks' run-and-bomb lineup.

On the Knicks' side, in terms of the lineup, they are unchanged to respond to all changes, in fact, it is not that Tyberdu does not want to change, but there is really no one in his hands.

In this way, Li Feng still plays the position of power forward and continues to fight with Blair.

Li Feng played Blair much easier than Duncan, after all, there is a difference in height between the two.

Li Feng can beat Blair in the low post, or he can break through from a short distance but kill the basket.

Li Feng had the opportunity to attack, but it was not a good thing for the overall tactics in the past.

The first thing you need to run is fast, which is time. The second point is space, Li Feng often goes low and breaks through to create killing and chaos, and the space where he ran and bombed in the past is a little compressed.

So when Li Feng played well in the second quarter, the other players of the Knicks were average.

Unlike the Knicks, after the Spurs returned to the court, Mills was completely responsible for the playmaker.

The whole Spurs played more holly, and Duncan also adjusted his position and role, and entered the state more, and he finally found a normal person in the low post who could play normally.

On the Knicks' side, Li Feng is outstanding, the Spurs have a balanced style of play, and the difference between the two teams has not been widened, and the Spurs have come to open the score.

The Knicks caught up, and as soon as the Knicks caught up, the Spurs ran forward. Two teams are chasing this book to fight! It seems that it will be able to catch up in a while, and it will be able to pull away in a while, but the two sides can't open the situation at all.

Li Feng was very tired at first, but it was very smooth, but as time went by, Li Feng also felt that he had to lead the whole team.

Li Feng's change has worked very well, because most of the Spurs' attention was on Li Feng before, and the Spurs' defense was on Li Feng's head alone. At this time, Li Feng suddenly focused on passing the ball to his teammates, and the Spurs' attention was immediately misplaced.

And the Knicks are a team with strong projection ability, Li Feng mixed with the basket in the low post, and then suddenly passed the ball.

So J.R. Smith started to shoot three-pointers, Livingston started to shoot three-pointers, and Li Feng also had three-pointers, and by this time the Knicks' wolfpack tactics had finally come into play.

The Knicks desperately threw three-pointers, and a three-point rain fell down, although the Spurs' own offense did not have any problems.

But three points are much faster than two points! So Li Feng responded with a pass at the beginning, and in the last minute of the second quarter, the Knicks tied the score.

The Knicks rained down with a three-pointer and actually tied the score.

Popovich was furious and admired in his heart. Li Feng, this guy's basketball IQ is really high!

After attracting all the defenses himself, he actually gave us a fatal blow at a crucial moment. This guy's passing timing is also very good!

Popovich hated Li Feng on the one hand, but also admitted that Li Feng is indeed good at ball skills and has a high basketball IQ.

When Tyberdu saw Li Feng's pass, he was a little worried at first, but as the Knicks, a group of outside musketeers, threw one three-pointer after another into the Spurs' basket, Tyberdeau's worry was gone.

The guy laughed and almost jumped. While praising the accuracy of his team's boys, he also praised Li Feng's mastery of the timing of choosing to pass.

Now that most of the half has passed, Li Feng has become the number one public enemy of the Spurs, when everyone is chasing Li Feng to defend, he threw the basketball out, and his teammates are all empty.

The head coaches on both sides were deeply impressed by Li Feng in their hearts, and Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but say on the commentary seat:

"In the first quarter, Li Feng left an impression on me with excellent body and ball skills, and now Li Feng has left an impression on me with an even better ability to read the game. Such a strong ability to read the game. If Blackdolan doesn't implement his philosophy that the head coach is the team's number one star, it's not impossible for the Knicks to replicate the Celtics dynasty. ”

The coach felt that Li Feng had a high basketball IQ, and Jeff Van Gundy felt that Li Feng had a strong ability to read the game, and fans who liked Li Feng liked Li Feng's strength at the same time. also admired Li Feng's wisdom a little more.

Li Feng suddenly passed, the Knicks rained three-pointers, and the Spurs' score was tied. Popovich's first adjustment was to strengthen the team's perimeter defense, and then he assigned Duncan the task of helping to defend Li Feng. He'd rather have Cousins shoot two points than let the Knicks shoot threes.

At this time, Popovich also thought about despising Cousins, and Popovich thought so, compared to the cards in his Tyberdu's hand. There are fewer changes, and it is easier to think.

In today's game, Li Feng was clearly in good shape, and Li Feng showed a strong ability to read the game later. In this case, Tyberdu struck a beating, and simply called the players and said to them:

"I'll just keep playing like this for a while, but we have to focus more on defense and protect the rebounds. With defense and rebounding, we can play at a faster pace! ”

Taberdu's words sounded like a compliment, and we didn't need to change it, but in fact, the game was handed over to Li Feng to control.

At 1:07 of the game, both teams returned to the court.

The Spurs played an interspersed tactic at the beginning, Blair cut the ball and passed it back to Kawhi Leonard's hands, Leonard slammed into the basket, and Li Feng moved laterally to defend because of the lack of control area of height and arm span, and watched Leonard succeed.

Cousins took the ball and served quickly, the Knicks still had to play fast, and Livingston accelerated, but it was time for the Spurs to halftime. The Spurs have also adapted a little to the Knicks' style of play, and they have come back to defend very quickly.

In this way, Livingston could only turn to pass the basketball to Li Feng's hands, Li Feng took the basketball, and Blair immediately ran over.

Li Feng suddenly made an emergency stop, and Blair was really defenseless, but Li Feng was also in a hurry, and the basketball smashed into the hoop and then rebounded back.

At this time, thanks to Li Feng's active running, he picked up the basketball for Li Feng, and Li Feng still threw the ball to Li Feng after picking up the rebound.

Li Feng knew that he could only rely on himself at this time, and the fierce flame in his heart was burning, Li Feng suddenly leaned forward almost instinctively, and a simple one-handed change of direction shook in front of Blair.

Blair's eyes were slightly wrong, but Li Feng suddenly flew towards the basket, and Li Feng relied on his own strength in this step.

He used all his confidence, determination and physical strength to this step, so Li Feng's center of gravity was pressed very low, and the speed was very fast, almost like a violent wind, it swept past Blair's side.

Li Feng took such a step, Blair showed that he was shocked, and then he couldn't see Li Feng. When he turned around, he happened to see that Li Feng was like a beast, and Duncan, who was not afraid of the Spurs' inner line, bumped into him head-on.

Li Feng hit this step fiercely, without complaint or regret, like a warrior charging on the battlefield, with a murderous aura.

So Duncan immediately felt this change, and he came towards Li Feng's rapid defense.

Duncan is not Li Feng, he moved over as if a big tree was moving horizontally, blocking the bottom and all his sphere of influence above.

Li Feng was not afraid at all in the face of such great pressure, twisted his waist and turned around to dodge Duncan in the air, and then threw as much as he could.

Li Feng rushed too fiercely, and Duncan wanted to block Li Feng too much. So he slapped Li Feng's hand, and then Li Feng also smashed directly to the ground like a sandbag.

And at this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and Duncan's thug fouled!

Li Feng fell to the ground in pain, but his heart was full of joy, even if he could only rely on himself. I still have the courage, I still have the fearless heart.

There is no fear in my heart, I have nothing and I can still support it for a moment or three, Li Feng looked resolute when he got up from the ground.

Li Feng was originally a strong person, and perseverance was also integrated into his character. At this time, Li Feng was even more powerful.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Feng moved his muscles twice and steadily shot his two free throws. (To be continued......)
