Chapter Ninety-Six: The Stone Buddha Standing
Chapter Ninety-Six: The Stone Buddha Standing
Compared with the dullness in the Spurs locker room, the home team's locker room is already full of laughter at the moment, everyone is very satisfied with the performance in the first half, Li Feng and Harrington are particularly good, the former is needless to say, the latter is very successful in marking Jefferson, and the running at the expense of physical strength allows him to do almost perfect defense.
Li Feng's performance in only two games has become a well-deserved leader of the Knicks, Al Harrington does not value the leadership position at all, he has been in the league for ten years, he knows what the rules of the game are, and other young players know Li Feng's strength, naturally there is nothing to say, now everyone's relationship is quite good, Eddie Corry, the "fat", got carried away, and even made a joke about D'Antoni.
Only D'Antoni kept enough calm in the dressing room, and it was still very early before the game was won, he stopped the players' unbridled talk and laughter in time, clapped his hands together, and said with a serious face:
"Don't rejoice too soon, there's still a full second half, once the Spurs show the quality they deserve, the limelight of the game will change immediately!"
His words attracted enough attention from the team members, and he continued:
"However, as long as we continue what we did in the second half, the more likely we are to beat Spurs! I think you should also have this idea in your head that if you play your best every night, we can beat any opponent, not even the Spurs! ”
"Come on!"
Li Feng took the lead in letting out a roar of victory, showing incomparable passion.
"Come on! Come on! ……”
There was a chorus in the dressing room, and everyone was confident about the second half of the game.
……
At the start of the second half, as it was the Spurs who won the jump ball, the New York Knicks took the lead.
Eddie Corey handed the basketball to Chris Duhon, Dujon had just touched the ball, a gust of wind swept by, and before he had time to think about it, Dujon pushed it directly, and the basketball returned to Corey, who had just entered the court.
At this time, Dujon was next to Parker and McDyes, and if it weren't for Dujon's vigilance, the ball would have been broken.
At this time, Gallinari picked up from the side, Corey handed the basketball to the Italian, and it was difficult for the Spurs to break the ball.
However, the Spurs' goal was achieved, and the Knicks only took 7 seconds to bring the basketball past the halfcourt, and the Spurs' defense was already established.
At this time, Li Feng pulled out from the left side, and Duncan had already pasted it up again, and the two bumped and bumped all the way from the inside line to the outside line, and the body fought countless times.
When Du Hong saw Li Feng pull it out, his hand shook, and the basketball passed to Li Feng.
Li Feng jumped up when he caught the ball, and at the same time the basketball left the palm of his hand?
Duncan was shocked!
Shooting?
Of course not.
The basketball flew to the inside, only to see Eddie Cory was very deep under the basket, his tonnage still had an effect, McDyce was crushed to death, one hand received Li Feng's pass, Eddie Corey just hit it, and then hooked, the basketball crossed an arc, hollow into the frame.
Eddie Corey's little hook!
Seeing this goal scored, Knicks head coach D'Antoni was not happy at all, in his tactics, Corey was just a covering guy, Li Feng actually regarded Corey as a traditional center, which conflicted with his tactics, if Corey lost 20 kilograms, it would be not bad, such a tonnage, even if there is offensive power, the Knicks will be dragged down by him if they want to play fast.
Popovich also frowned on the Spurs' side, if Li Feng shoots the ball by himself, even if he scores, it is not a matter of worry, after all, Li Feng is not good at shooting, but the Spurs interior line is not suitable for defending big-tonnage players.
Because O'Neal is aging, most of the new generation of centers are technical or defensive flows, except for Perkins, the league's defensive big-tonnage players are not popular on the inside, and if Eddie Corey plays in form, the game will be confusing again. …,
"Kenny, you see, Striker's passing is also very good, I flipped through the previous video of him with the Grizzlies, I didn't expect Striker to be a master passer, Spurs met a nemesis today."
Barkley talked eloquently and was very excited, as if the current Spurs were the Spurs of Barkley in the Phoenix Suns.
"Charles, it's just a ball, Eddie Corey is really sure of this move, but the Spurs are good at controlling the rhythm, it doesn't have to be absolutely slow, and the Spurs' change of rhythm is incomparable to the Knicks!"
Smith was-for-tat, and his remarks were also very reasonable.
The Spurs really went crazy, their tempo didn't change, they dragged on very, very slowly.
When Parker brought the basketball to the front court, Duncan pushed Li Feng forward two steps with one shoulder on the inside, and then Duncan suddenly turned around and stuck Li Feng behind and asked for the ball from Parker.
At this time, Parker quickly shoved the request into Duncan's hand with a brisk straight stopper.
As soon as the ball reached Duncan's hand, the noise level of the whole court was immediately reduced by 2,000 decibels.
"Tim Duncan catches the ball, Charles, it's Li Feng defending him."
Smith's voice trembled a little, and he began to get excited.
"Yes, Duncan is the league's top interior lineman, and Li Feng is a rookie, do you have any problems?"
Barkley was calm.
As soon as Duncan got the ball, Li Feng behind him whispered:
"Tim, you don't look like you scored more than ten today."
Duncan crooked his mouth and laughed mutterably twice in his throat, and then he suddenly broke through to the right of Lu, Li Feng put his body on Duncan's body, like a parasitic animal, and didn't give Duncan any chance at all, Duncan broke through only this step, suddenly stopped, and took the ball to Lu a little.
Li Feng was not so stupid, he didn't get into Duncan's feint, saw Duncan raise his hand, and immediately went over to block Duncan's eyes with his hand, Duncan was now stuck in the Knicks' restricted area, and the inside line of the Knicks' players, as soon as they smelled blood, immediately surrounded Duncan in the center and bit Duncan's strong body.
Eddie Corey and Al Harrington were both caught in the box, but Duncan didn't let go. He couldn't let go of his hand, and in the writhing of the crowd, Duncan hesitated any longer, and it was still not!
No!
Duncan, the heart of the Spurs, has chosen to take all the blame himself. Turning over quickly, he raised the ball high with one hand with his right hand, and with his positional feeling, his wrist flicked slightly.
The ball flowed from the palm of the hand to the fingers, and then it left the most posterior part of Duncan's body.
The ball flew out of the air.
"Off!"
Barkley yelled.
"No, it's a board."
Kenny Smith seemed to see the geometric line of refraction.
The "bang" ball hit the rebound, and Duncan clenched his fist and "bang" the ball went in.
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, and it was Li Feng's thug.
Duncan, clenched in his fist in the light, is like a Buddha statue that has survived the vicissitudes of life and still stands.
