Chapter 517: The rhythm of the Knicks was played

In this kind of opening game, the players on the Knicks' side are all elated, but the Lakers' Staples Center feels it, and today's game is cold for them, so the Staples Center feels quite cold.

The Lakers pushed forward again, and Mike Brown realized that today's game would definitely be biased towards offense, and he immediately yelled at his teammates to speed up the tempo.

The Lakers speed up the tempo, and they don't play the kind of ball that is very happy, they just run faster, not reducing the pace of the offense at all, just watch Blake pass the ball to Bynum, when Bynum got the ball, Kobe Bryant immediately ran to the right side, and at the same time Bynum passed the ball to Atay on the right.

The purpose of the Lakers' ball is very clear, that is, they want to pass the basketball to Kobe Bryant through off-ball cover, and play a catch-and-shoot tactic.

But Li Feng was very vicious at this time, and suddenly squeezed in front of Kobe, and Kobe couldn't run this no-ball tactic.

He could only turn around and run back, the Lakers were indeed well-trained, and when they saw Kobe Bryant running back, they immediately passed the basketball back the same way.

Atay passed to Bynum, Bynum passed to Blake, and when Blake got the ball, he just got the ball for Kobe Bryant, who ran back.

Kobe Bryant broke through with the ball and couldn't squeeze Li Feng to pass the ball to Gasol under the basket, Gasol still had an advantage in hitting Monroe, and took the ball to a reverse layup to score two points.

Mike Brown was happy with his team as he saw that his team was finally scoring and the tempo was picking up, and he thought it was getting fast.

But at the same time. Tyberdeau's side despised Mike Brown very much in his heart, as far as his fast pace was concerned, it was not fast at all, and he was running back and forth for so long, which was also called fast.

And in any quick tactic, playing the inside line must be a false move, and the three-point shot is a necessary killing weapon.

However, Mike Brown's tactical focus is obviously still on the outside, so Tyberdu thinks that Mike Brown is playing fast break.

Just as the Lakers scored, Tyberdu immediately beckoned to Li Feng, Li Feng ran over Tyberdu and said covertly in Li Feng's ear:

"Tell them to focus on defending the perimeter. The inside line is one-on-one to give them up! ”

The meaning of Taberdu is obvious. Focus on the perimeter and don't let the Lakers play three-pointers and breakaways, but the low-post offense can be relaxed, not to do a bag or a special defense. Use your own interior player to play one-on-one with the opponent. What to do. That's what it looks like.

This judgment is also based on today's offensive basketball, and now basketball is getting faster and faster, and it is no longer possible to beat people by just attacking from a low position. Modern basketball must be fast, must seize every opportunity to create efficient offense, offense and defense must have speed, no speed offensive method is equal to no efficiency.

The Knicks quickly arrived at the Lakers' half, Dragic came over and gave the basketball to Monroe, Monroe wanted to copy the offensive routine of the team, but the Lakers were not stupid, Gasol crossed over to block Monroe's passing route.

In this way, Monroe could only throw the basketball to Cousins on the inside, Cousins took the ball and wanted to pass the ball to the empty Belineri in the bottom corner, but as soon as he took the ball, he was recognized, and the Lakers suddenly destroyed his pass and knocked the basketball out of the bottom line.

As a result, the Knicks had to restart the ball from the baseline, and the Knicks played an interesting catch-and-shoot strategy when the baseline was opened.

Let Belineri pass the ball from the baseline, Li Feng, Cousins and Monroe form a triangle at the free throw line, and the two men are close to each other, and then let Dragic pass through the middle of the triangle when the whistle blows.

It was an interesting catch-and-shoot tactic, and Dragic ran over and got rid of Blake without any problems.

At the same time, at the moment when Dragic received the ball, the triangle immediately dispersed, Monroe came up to cover Dragic, Li Feng retreated to the top of the arc to wait for the ball, and Cousins pulled to the other side of the wing to open up space.

Compared with the Lakers, the Knicks were much faster, solving all the problems at once, opening up offensive opportunities in space, and Dragic used his teammates to cover and hide behind Monroe to shoot from a distance.

Although Dragic missed the long-range shot, the team was several times more efficient and fast than the Lakers.

On offense, the Knicks are obviously clearer, simple and fluent, and Jeff Van Gundy, who was on the sidelines, said:

"Although the Knicks' ball didn't hit, the tactics are classic and innovative."

"The key is that they make better use of the concept of time and space in the small ball concept!"

Hubby Brown, for his part, also felt that the Knicks were better on the offensive end.

At this time, when the Knicks were returning to defense, Li Feng called Tyberdeau's instructions around.

With Tyberdu's instructions, when the Lakers ran over again, they saw that the Knicks suddenly pounced outside,

directly expanded the defensive range to the three-point line, and the Knicks defended so far that the space behind them immediately appeared, and the Lakers naturally passed the basketball to Blake on the baseline.

Blake saw that there was so much space to attack, and he immediately leaned on Belineri and advanced two steps to the vicinity of the penalty area, and suddenly stepped back and made a jumper.

Blake still has a certain success rate in hitting Belineri, and he also hit the basket immediately, so the Lakers scored in two consecutive rounds, and the score was rewritten to 5-4, and the Lakers were pressing up step by step.

When the Knicks attacked, Dragic passed the basketball to Belineri, who was cut out on the wing, Kobe Bryant still subconsciously looked back.

He didn't expect Belineri to take the ball and raise his hand to shake it, and then put the basketball back to Dragic.

Dragic took the ball and faced Kobe Bryant and flashed to the left, a tentative step, when Blake was slightly distracted,

Dragic slammed through from Kobe's right, and at this time the Lakers just showed a gap in this route.

Dragic struck down the gap. Facing the basket with an easy layup, he scored 2 points happily.

The active Dragic quickly made a layup, which was a clear indication that he was in good shape today.

This ball is obviously Blake's defensive problem, and Mike Brown is also not in the habit of covering up the players, and when he comes up, he scolds Blake on the sidelines, so that Blake can concentrate.

The Lakers played again, but the Knicks still suddenly pushed out the defense and started to defend from outside the three-point line.

The Knicks stuck the three-point line so badly that the Lakers could only play another low-post offense. This time it was Gasol who came up and beat Monroe.

Monroe and Gasol are not afraid of hard topping. Stuck under the basket and stubbornly resisted Gasol, Gasol was depressed when he couldn't stand Monroe behind him.

Li Feng was as silent as a cat, as fast as a mouse, and his center of gravity was very low. Suddenly steal the basketball that Gasol just slapped to the ground.

Li Feng's steal was so clean that he didn't even touch Gasol's hair. The Staples Center's own fans couldn't boo Li Feng.

Li Feng steals the basketball. This time he rushed sideways towards the Lakers' halfcourt.

Once Li Feng caught the basketball in the fast break, he went sideways towards the Lakers' half like a rampant bull.

The Lakers are about to be beaten into a dragon by Li Feng. Bynum and Atay were ruthless and went up to Li Feng, desperately fouling to pull Li Feng down, but at this time, when Li Feng moved towards him, he immediately passed the basketball to Cousins on the left.

Cousins took the ball and dribbled to the basket at this point, then got up and threw a hook hand, and the Knicks scored again.

At this moment, Mike Brown finally figured out a little taste, his Lakers scores were all low in the half, and it took a lot of effort to score points, but the Knicks scored very simple points.

Dragic broke through directly, and now Li Feng just passed the ball, and Cousins came over immediately and scored easily.

Kobe Bryant attacked, his hand was not yet hot, and he hit the iron with three points.

The Lakers' three-point shot missed, the Knicks immediately seized the opportunity to quickly catch up, Dragic broke through the first wave to disrupt the Lakers' defense, passed the ball out to Li Feng, Li Feng broke through the second wave and completely tore apart the opponent's defense, and then immediately passed the ball to Belineri in the bottom corner, and Belinelli took the opportunity to hit a three-point shot.

"Brush!" Belineri's three-pointer smashed cleanly into the opponent's basket.

It was also when Belinelli shot that the Knicks' bench all jumped up, and at the beginning of today's game, the Knicks finally played well.

The Knicks beat the Lakers 7-0 and reached 12-5 in the overall score, and Mike Brown felt that he had to limit the Knicks, so he immediately called a timeout.

When he called a timeout, the Knicks players were all smiling and high-fived in celebration, and Tyberdu was also looking at Mike Brown's side with confidence.

In China, Yang Yi has also become a happy old lady, where is she babbling and saying:

"Today, the Knicks' rhythm is playing, and it's exactly what the Knicks are good at! Fast break, and three-point shots, these are all comfortable with the Knicks, so the Knicks will inevitably have an advantage, you can see how comfortable they are playing if you look at the Knicks' mood now. ”

Yang Yi really picked out the shining point of the Knicks first, but on the American side, Yang Yi's colleague Jeff Van Gundy found the reason for the Lakers' depression.

"The Knicks played fast, and the Lakers couldn't use lethal tactics to slow down, so they were blown up!"

Jeff Van Gundy knew that the Lakers were very difficult, Mike Brown must have felt it, after calling a timeout, Mike Brown came up or arranged the offense, and at the same time asked the team to do a good job of harassing a pass, delaying Dragic's advancement to harass more, and at the same time instructed Kobe to limit Li Feng's reception, Mike Brown asked his players to do a good job of defense, but try not to foul!

Tyberdeau's side saw that today's fastplay was cool, but he simply took advantage of Mike Brown's call for a timeout and replaced Monroe with Thornton, who had three points and ran a little faster, which was definitely more conducive to offense.

The two teams adjusted slightly, came back from a timeout, the Lakers kicked off the sideline, and the basketball was still very Lakers-style and sent directly to Bynum near the restricted area.

Bynum used to play cowering, and now the team is far behind. He also dared to fight, took the ball up to control himself from fouling, hit Cousins twice hard, suddenly rolled over and raised his elbows to make a feint.

Cousins was tricked by him, Bynum smacked Cousins, and Crawford gave Cousins a foul.

Crawford proves his fairness with his actions, I will never blow your foul if you move cleanly, and I will definitely blow if the other party fouls.

Bynum finally scored two points when he got tough, and through this ball, Bynum also realized that being tough does not mean being dirty. There is no need to foul if you hit hard. His mentality finally calmed down a bit, and the Lakers' players recovered a little from their initial panic, and they saw from this ball that they could be tough, but they just had to control the foul.

Bynum hit the free-throw line and made both free throws. Finally got two points back for the Lakers.

Mike Brown also stabilized the team's mood on the sidelines:

"That's how we fight. That's it! ”

Mike Brown was shouting. His player also immediately went over to harass a pass, but it was Thornton who passed the ball at this time, and Thornton's pass was also good. Bynum didn't have any effect on him at all, and he watched Thornton pass the basketball to the top of Li Feng's head all at once.

Li Feng also grabbed the basketball in the air through Kobe Bryant, and the defensive tactics that Mike Brown had arranged during the timeout did not have any effect.

Li Feng, who got the basketball, once again came to the Lakers' half court like a bull.

No one in the Lakers can stop Li Feng one-on-one, and when Atay went to delay, Li Feng jumped into the Lakers restricted area with a reverse step and threw the basketball to Belineri in the bottom corner again.

Belineri was again in a big open position, taking the ball and shooting a three-pointer.

"Brush!"

Belineri hit another three-pointer, and all of a sudden the Staples Center was depressed, Mike Brown was also depressed, and the Lakers' players were also depressed.

Li Feng and Thornton's fast-break connection is simply impossible to block, unless there is a player who can limit Li Feng one-on-one, otherwise it is impossible to prevent the Knicks from playing this kind of ball!

The Lakers finally stabilized their position and scored 2 points on free throws, and the Knicks didn't take it seriously and turned around with a fast break three-pointer, which hit the Lakers hard, but the Knicks' own morale improved quickly, and Belineri took the initiative to come up and celebrate with Li Feng Thornton after scoring.

On the domestic side, the fans are also happy, and the Knicks started too happily, shooting three three-pointers alone.

At this time, Hubby Brown also said:

"Today, the Knicks not only played at the right pace, but also had a very high shooting percentage, and now the three-point shot is three of three, and the Lakers may surrender at halftime if they play this style of play."

"I don't think it's a one-game thing, the game between the Knicks and the Lakers is now not just a battle of scores, but also a battle of will, if the Lakers lose at home, and the loss is ugly, they may be even more difficult to play in the next game."

Jeff Van Gundy gave the Lakers a very pessimistic guess at this time, the Lakers are naturally unwilling to play a tragic role, they are still struggling desperately,

After the Lakers suffered a blow, Mike Brown did not easily change his style of play, and continued his tough offensive and defensive style.

The Lakers' insistence on the court immediately had an effect, although it didn't completely suppress the Knicks' offense!

But they didn't lose themselves, the Lakers continued to score one or two points, and at the same time, the Knicks' opening high shooting began to shrink.

This continued until the end of the first quarter, when the difference between the two teams was not large, and the Knicks led the Lakers by six points at 34-28.

Although the Knicks took advantage of it in the first quarter, this advantage was not very big, and the Lakers could get it back at any time in the back.

Back in the second quarter, the two teams first began to play the bench lineup, and the Lakers were still slightly better than the Knicks in the bench lineup.

By the third minute of the second quarter, the Lakers had shortened the difference to 3 points, and the two teams were tied at 39-36, and the Lakers were steadily catching up with the score step by step.

At this time, Tyberdu still called a timeout first and began to replace the main players, according to the habit, Tyberdu still went to Li Feng first and played a mixed lineup, according to the attack power, the Knicks' mixed lineup is still much better than the main lineup.

Li Feng returned to the court, and it was up to the Lakers to immediately get on Atay and Kobe.

It is not enough for the Lakers to guard against Li Feng and an Atai, but in this way, Mike Brown is not sure whether he can guard against Li Feng.

The Knicks played Li Feng on this side, and first played a tactical offense for Li Feng, allowing Li Feng to receive the basketball at the top of the arc through blocking and running without the ball.

Li Feng has already got the basketball here, and the Lakers immediately used a one-staring four-defense tactic, allowing Kobe Bryant to stare at Li Feng at the top of the arc alone, and four players behind Kobe Bryant formed a big pocket, once Li Feng broke through or moved forward, the four individuals immediately wrapped up together, blocking all Li Feng's routes.

Mike Brown has always been ruthless, and it is the same today, as soon as he makes a move, he will completely block Li Feng.

Li Feng also clearly felt Mike Brown's mind when he saw Mike Brown's formation, so Li Feng wanted to attack even more.

Li Feng can pass the ball and pass the ball to his teammates, but Li Feng has to attack, and he has to score, because he wants Mike Brown to see that he can't stop him, no matter what.

Li Feng wants to destroy the Lakers, this is the road that must be done! So even in the face of the Lakers' defense, Li Feng still didn't flinch, and he didn't even call for blocking. (To be continued......)
