Chapter 465: Strong Revenge

Kirilenko picked up a ball under the basket, and his mood was naturally to play well, so he turned around and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng's current instantaneous speed is only a few tens of seconds left, so Li Feng did not hesitate, and the first step with a shake of the ball hand passed Price, Price's pure speed is slower than Batum, so Li Feng passed him easily in one step.

Li Feng took a step past Price's oblique stab, and Matthews immediately came over to stick to Li Feng, Li Feng was in the middle of the high speed, and repeated the old trick again, but this time Li Feng played more concisely.

A back dribble flashed in front of Matthews, and Matthews stumbled under his feet in order to chase Li Feng, and he almost fell.

At this time, Li Feng had already passed two people in a row, and there was a blank in front of him.

Li Feng went straight to the basket of the Trailblazers, and when Li Feng ran into the Trailblazers' restricted area, Li Feng flew up all of a sudden.

Seeing that Li Feng was about to dunk again, Aldridge, who was struggling to run back at this time, had already arrived.

As soon as Aldridge saw that Li Feng was coming again, he hurriedly grabbed Li Feng in a hurry, and he wanted to use a foul to catch Li Feng.

Li Feng saw Aldridge's claws grabbing it, and Li Feng stretched out and retracted in the air very gracefully, flashing Aldridge's arm at once. Then with a gentle push of his right hand, he put the basketball into the Trail Blazers' basket.

Aldridge can't get a foul if he wants to! Li Feng scored two more points, and the Knicks once again widened the gap with the Trail Blazers.

At this time, seeing that Li Feng had scored points continuously, he had already taken a little soft. McMillan couldn't sit still and shouted from the sidelines.

McMillan was yelling, but in the blink of an eye, Portland was still playing the Knicks' half-court offense. First of all, when it comes to the most important point guard in McMillan's small-ball strategy, Portland doesn't have the right person.

Lillard has no way to compare with Nash, who is not only a god-level playmaker, but also accurate in shooting.

If Nash can't pass the ball, he is more than capable of doing JJ Redick's job. And Nash's breakthrough is very powerful. Especially when the dislocation is small and the big is very efficient, so once the sun blocks and dismantled, who will see who is afraid?

This is completely untrue for Lillard, who is generally conservative in organization and average in offense.

Such a point guard can't play at all, and the best thing about the small ball. So Lillard came to the Knicks' halfcourt and couldn't tear the defense at all, and at the end of the day, Matthews forced the offense in front of Peleline.

Such an offense is naturally very inefficient, and Cousins turned around and grabbed the rebound under the basket.

The Knicks attacked Dragic in the half and beat Lillard again, so that the Trail Blazers were almost completely passively beaten.

Defensively, they can't prevent the Knicks' forced breakthrough on the outside, and they don't have a good complement defense on the inside, so they are completely blown up on the defensive end. On the offensive end. The Trail Blazers can't tear apart the Knicks' tough defense, so they can't get a bargain at both ends.

Seeing the difference between the two teams getting bigger and bigger, by the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were at 32; The 17 led the Trail Blazers by 15 points.

In this way, it was caused by the Knicks' great laxity in defense in the last two minutes of the first quarter, otherwise the difference would definitely be around 20 points.

Before the game, although everyone predicted that the Knicks would be strong and should be able to get revenge, no one expected that they would be so strong.

In the first quarter, the Knicks easily slaughtered the Trail Blazers, and it seemed that the Trail Blazers did not resist.

Such a result. It is difficult for many fans of the Trailblazers to accept, and even Li Feng's fans are not very happy. Because isn't it too easy to compete?

The Knicks are a predominantly young team in the end, and now once they are ahead, and they are leading by a wide margin. They are emotionally lax. This kind of laxity is not the same as the cautious laxity of the old team, and the Knicks are completely lax.

So after the first quarter, the Knicks' bench players also learned from the Trail Blazers when they got on the court: bad defense, and casual offense.

But that's how the Trailblazers have always been. The Knicks, on the other hand, are a defensive team. And who are the Trail Blazers' bench lineup?

Felton, Jeffries, it's all twitching. The representative of the passion flow, let this kind of person practice his feel and confidence through low-intensity competition, and it will be difficult to suppress it later.

Sure enough, once the Knicks' defensive intensity dropped, Felton, a small man, broke through to the basket twice in a row to score points, and Jeffries even hit two three-point shots.

Once the two of them joined forces to convuls, in the first two minutes of the second quarter, they actually scored 10 points in a row, beating the Knicks with a 10-3 small climax, so that the difference between the two teams narrowed instantly.

This situation is similar to the last game when the Knicks beat the Hawks, and when he saw this situation, Tyberdu did not dare to ignore it. immediately called a timeout, and then changed Li Feng and Dragic to the court, and at the same time told the whole team to improve the quality of defense and must do a good job in defense.

A foundation that can win against the Trail Blazers when defending well, a team with too much firepower like the Trail Blazers is useless if it can't defend well.

Li Feng also understands that defense is more important than offense now, so he made a serious observation of Jeffries before returning to the court.

Li Feng was replaced, and instead of playing a shooting guard, he played a small forward to contain Jeffries.

I have to say that there are so many potential stocks in Portland! Matthews, Aldridge, Hickson, these are all very good players.

Jeffries is a former Knicks player, he is characterized by his tall stature and flexible feet, so Li Feng's burden is not light, the Knicks open the sideline, and Li Feng does not have to worry about the offense.

Dragic continues to have a big advantage in the matchup, with Felton against him.

In this way, Dragic still has a height advantage, and he does not suffer a loss in the confrontation, Dragic is simpler than playing Lillard, resisting near the basket and shooting near the basket, and scoring two points directly on Felton's head.

Felton is the kind of person who goes crazy, and he has already hit two consecutive balls just now. After being eaten by Dragic, he was also in a hurry to get the ball on the baseline.

Push forward quickly, and you want to pass Dragic and score points as easily as you did. Dragic can bully Felton with his height and body, and in turn, Felton can bully Dragic with his speed!

Felton thought easily, but now the Knicks don't have to be just now, he just came together to speed Dragic immediately delayed, and then Kirrilenko was immediately in place, blocking Felton's forward path.

Breaking through without a route is equivalent to hitting the wall, this kind of work, if a smarter defender would never do it, but it is Felton on the field, he is not an earthling. A nemesis. He didn't follow the rules of human beings at all, and when he saw that there were people in front of him, the little man still flew out of the front and forcibly threw it high against Kirilenko.

His high throw is very difficult, and the probability of scoring is very low, but it is also possible to shoot.

Felton's hope was to score such a difficult goal, and he's in good form at the moment.

But a good defense will not give anyone any team an extraordinary level. After Marvin Williams. Li Feng moved quickly, and Li Feng jumped behind Kirilenko.

Stretch out one arm and pick up your arm "Smack!" Felton's throw flew out of the fan.

Li Feng is another block, and this is the third block in today's game.

The basketball flew out of the box and was picked up by Dragic. The Knicks immediately turned back to the fast break. At this time, Reggie Miller, who was on the sidelines, said:

Li Feng blocked it again. Although the block is not the whole of defense, the block represents a deterrent, as long as Li Feng appears nearby, it will increase the psychological pressure on the opponent. It's also a psychological defense! ”

Dragic pushed all the way up and disrupted the Trail Blazers' defense. Suddenly, Dragic changed hands and passed the ball to Kirilenko.

Marven shot from distance and hit accurately. As soon as the Knicks' main force was replaced, they immediately chased four points. And defensively. The intensity really came up, and Felton was no longer able to fight indiscriminately.

When Felton received the ball from the baseline again, McMillan also had to shout to Felton on the sideline:

"More passes, more passes!"

The meaning of McMillan letting Felton pass the ball more is obvious, that is, not to let Felton go it alone.

McMillan just knew Felton's character, so he said it in a different way. With the head coach in command, Felton finally managed to curb his hot-headedness. Passed the basketball to Jeffries.

Jeffries received the ball Li Feng immediately came up, his body was almost close to the other party, Jeffries had two consecutive three-pointers before, and his hand was also open, and his confidence was also gained.

He had seen Li Feng's swiftness in hitting Batum before, and he had also seen Li Feng's bounce power, but in this way, Jeffries was not afraid of Li Feng.

Because he is taller than Li Feng, the height is very helpless, and often just the height of the first line can make a player from great to mediocre.

Jeffries has always been good at taking advantage of his height and is confident in his height advantage.

He has always felt that as long as his hand feels and has an advantage in height, then no one can stop him.

Now that Jeffries saw that Li Feng was close, he didn't shoot directly and easily, but wanted to play a trick, raised his head to Lu, and made a head feint.

Then Jeffries stretched out his arm and grabbed Li Feng, wanting to pass by Li Feng at once, and passed Li Feng a step and a half away, so that he could make a safer move.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he regretted it, since Li Feng knew the direction of Jeffries's breakthrough, he could only use the weight advantage if he had no height advantage. Li Feng suddenly stepped forward, and Li Feng was like a big stone under him.

Suddenly, Jeffries took this step, and he was quite uncomfortable, and the position he walked was completely different from what he imagined.

After a contact, Jeffries was particularly shocked in his heart, Li Feng gave him a completely different feeling from ordinary people. With the nimble footsteps of a small man, there is also the same tough force and tonnage as the inside line.

He hadn't been teammates with Li Feng for a long time, and he had forgotten Li Feng's strength, and Jeffries suddenly couldn't believe it.

As if to confirm his own inference, and as if to prove himself some kind of self-proof, Jeffries's step has clearly fallen behind.

Still shot rashly, shot at Li Feng's head, Li Feng defended one step at a time, how could he give Jeffries such a chance. Get up immediately and interfere. As a result, Li Feng's excellent bounce gave Jeffries enough interference.

At this time, Jeffries missed a three-point shot, and Li Feng immediately turned back to grab the rebound after interfering with Jeffries.

Li Feng helped Diop protect the rebound under the basket, and the Knicks immediately increased the pressure on the defensive end after changing the main team, curbing the Trail Blazers' offense.

This situation made Tyberdeau feel relieved, but it made McMillan's brows furrowed.

McMillan didn't like it, it felt like he and his team were being choked by the neck, I let you live and you have to die. It feels a lot worse than losing or winning in a big game.

The Knicks protected the rebound and immediately pushed it in, only for Dragy's fantastic pass to Kirilenko's long-range shot. Now Li Feng came over and made a posture of a single waist position. Then pass to Kirilenko, who cut in the air.

Marvin made a layup, which caused another foul on the Trail Blazers. At the free throw line, seeing Marvin hit both free throws, the Knicks immediately played a wave of 6-0 small climax after the substitution, and the point difference that was pulled back suddenly widened again.

At this time, McMillan was in a depressed mood, and he knew that changing to the main force at this time might not have a good effect.

And at the same moment, on the side of Tyberdu, they did not dare to slack off a little, how they won the last game. Tyberdu knew it, so now he had no sympathy and saw his team gain the advantage again. He still ran to the sideline and shouted:

"Focus on the game. Focus on the game, it's not over yet. ”

Tyberdu yelled as he replaced Belineri. He continued to add to the main force and continued to put pressure on the Trail Blazers.

The Knicks' high-pressure defense. So the Trail Blazers had nowhere to talk in the Knicks' half. In the end, Felton was given a chance to go to Dragic.

Felton also learned the lesson of the talent, and instead of breaking through, he tugged back and forth near the three-point line. Make a feint, then suddenly pull up and pull up a three-pointer.

Felton did feel like it was today, such a very "unreasonable" three-point shot. He hit it all.

With Felton's unreasonable performance, McMillan smiled slightly, but he didn't expect Dragic to receive the ball from the baseline and pass directly to the Trail Blazers' half. Li Feng has already arrived near the Trail Blazers' basket.

Li Feng received the ball and dunked directly with both hands, ending the battle. Felton only got a little morale up, and Li Feng immediately scored points quickly, and broke your neck with his own hands.

Such a scene made McMillan feel depressed, and he felt that Li Feng was like a big stone pressing on himself and the team. The defense couldn't stop this person, and the offense only scored points on his own side, so he immediately fought back. If you play like this, your team's morale can't improve, and you can't win the game.

McMillan is anxious in his heart, and his actions are even more non-stop on the sidelines.

The Portland squad is also getting more and more restless on the court, and Felton, who just shot a three-pointer, wants to shoot a three-pointer this time.

As a result, Dragic was prepared, and he was disturbed as soon as he made a move. Felton missed a forced three-pointer, and the Knicks took advantage of the opportunity to launch another fast break.

Li Feng took the lead to attract the defense of the Trail Blazers, and suddenly turned back and passed the ball to the follow-up Belineri, who dunked and created a 2+1.

The Knicks continued to take advantage of the Trail Blazers' mistakes to score, and the margin returned to more than 15 points. At this time, the little morale that the Pioneers had just risen was also suppressed.

And at this time, Tyberdu kept reminding him on the sidelines not to reduce the intensity of defense, so that the situation of the game became one-sided again.

And in the second quarter, Dragic and Kirilenko felt very good, plus Li Feng and Belineri's play, and the Knicks widened the gap to 25 points at the end of the second quarter.

With such a large point difference, it will be difficult for the Trail Blazers to fill it even if they can soar, not to mention that Knicks head coach Tyberdu has no intention of giving the Trail Blazers a chance to breathe. He has always emphasized defense from the sidelines.

As a result, the fourth quarter was only halfway through and the game went into garbage time. Because by this time, the Knicks were already 35 points ahead of the Trail Blazers.

At the end of the game, the Knicks led the Trail Blazers by 36 points, 114-78.

Li Feng's performance was eye-catching, scoring 44 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists and 5 blocks, hitting a triple-double in two consecutive games, leading the Knicks to take revenge on the Trail Blazers!

The New York Knicks bounced back after a losing streak, losing Rose and Monroe, but played a great game and gave a comeback to many of the summer's critics for letting Harden and Ibaka go.

In fact, the departure of Harden and Ibaka did have a big impact on the Knicks, but in fact, Ibaka had a greater impact than Harden.

Although on the bright side, Harden is an All-Star, the defense is better than in his previous life, the offensive end is full of destruction, he has contributed a lot to the Knicks on offense and defense, but the Knicks lack Harden, there are Belinelli and Smith and others on the outside, in the Knicks' tactics, Harden is easy to replace, this season Rose changed to a point guard, the Knicks' offense is faster, there is Li Feng on defense, and the outside defense is not a loss.

On the contrary, it is Ibaka, the lack of Ibaka was not obvious before Monroe's injury, but after Monroe's injury, the Knicks' defensive system lacked a person, and Li Feng could not take care of the inside line at all times when taking care of the outside, so the Knicks were depressed when they encountered a strong power forward.

But now, the Knicks' performance is beyond theory, Vucevic and Jones are indeed still very immature, but the Knicks can still win, that's enough, Monroe is not injured, he can recover in a month, and the Knicks will be stronger by then! (To be continued......)
