Chapter 357 Stepping on the Zhan Orangutan Again

(Revised later)

As soon as Shaun Livingston came on the court, Li Feng became the core of the offensive end, and Harden was still sitting on the bench.

Li Feng's current limelight and fame have surpassed LeBron James, but James is not an ordinary person.

People know that James has a strong offense, but in fact, what is stronger is his defense, he has a perverted physicality, and he moves very quickly laterally, and it is difficult to get past him with the ball, and not many people in the league can do it, so James can be selected for the best defensive team for several consecutive years.

Although Li Feng knows that he has a lot of means, but when the playoffs come, he wants to find more ways, especially those that are relatively economical, after all, the intensity of the playoffs is greater.

When it comes to James' defense, it is strong in his defensive awareness and speed, he pursues steals and blocks, but he is not very good at running without the ball. Li Feng can receive the ball under his defense, but it is not easy to break through after receiving the ball. Shots can also be interfered with.

If he relies on non-stop running to pull out space, even if he doesn't score, it can drain James's physical strength.

Cousins pulled to the perimeter, Li Feng passed the ball to his hands, started running without the ball, and scored the three-point line from the right side. There was a pause at the bottom line and then went around the other side.

The Heat is a hybrid defense, and James is responsible for defending Li Feng and can only follow.

The two began a "hawk catches chicken" like a scramble.

Li Feng ran, James chased, Cousins attracted Joel Anthony's defense on the perimeter, passed to Livingston, who in turn handed it to Kirilenko, who ran towards Kirilenko.

After Li Feng made an emergency stop on the periphery, he ran to the inside again, turned around and shook off James, and he went around in a circle.

James followed and went to the periphery. There is no guarantee that he will always be in front of Li Feng.

None of the Knicks players on the court have very good assist ability right now, but that's okay. Li Feng is not waiting for the ball to pass in his hands. Instead, take the initiative to find the ball.

Kirilenko took advantage of the situation and slipped the ball into his hands. Li Feng's speed was already at the fastest when he got the ball, and even Wade couldn't change the defense in time.

If Wade moves laterally to block his breakthrough lane, he may cause a dribble hit.

But then you have to have the consciousness of being hit and killed by Li Feng, even if you don't die, I'm afraid you will be seriously injured.

After Li Feng took two big steps, he was already under the basket. Jumping up with the ball in both hands, James chased after the defense and jumped up to block it.

In the air, James bumped into Li Feng and the referee blew the whistle.

Even if he is as strong as Li Feng. Li Feng scored a point with both hands, relying on his excellent arm span, stretched out the ball from behind the rebound with his right hand, and threw the ball out of the ground with a low hand, he landed unsteadily, and after falling, he hit the reporter who was taking pictures outside the bottom line, and even the camera was knocked over, and the reporter suffered heavy losses.

The ball hit the board and bounced twice on the basket. James also paid for a foul 2+1.

The fans of the Heat suddenly became quiet, and the Knicks started so well today. The situation of the Heat is a little bad if it continues like this.

Barkley shouted:

"Oh my God, it's like the ball crawled into the basket with an IQ higher than LeBron's, it's so beautiful."

Smith was also surprised:

"This is another incredible goal, Li Feng threw the ball out of the air with the most reasonable action, and the camera was given to James, who looked a little incredulous." Li Feng stood up from under the basket and moved his whole body to make sure he was not injured. Li Feng stood on the free throw line and hit a steady hollow shot. Hit three points successfully! At 14-4, the Knicks widened the margin to 10 points.

In the return defense, Li Feng shouted:

"Defend! Keep an eye on everyone! ”

The Heat attacked, Livingston kept up with Battier, he began to press in the backcourt, he used to play little time, his energy was too strong, and he didn't have to worry about physical exhaustion.

Battier dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to James on the perimeter.

James didn't pause after receiving the ball, and immediately turned around to face the frame, wanting to break through, Li Feng didn't make a gambling steal forward, and let him turn around.

James dribbled the ball under his crotch and handed it to his right hand to enter the three-point line from the right side, paused slightly, ready to attract Li Feng to step forward to grab the ball and then change to pass, Li Feng did not move forward, but jumped lightly on the spot, it looked like he had eaten a feint, James immediately changed direction to dribble and walked to the middle, Li Feng broke out instantly when he landed with one foot, caught up with James from the side, and took the lead into the basket.

James jumped high and wanted to stage a "tomahawk" dunk with one hand, Li Feng also jumped up with all his strength, the movements of the two were surprisingly consistent, they both stretched out their left hands and pressed each other's bodies, James dunked with his right hand, and Li Feng blocked with his right hand.

The two almost collided with sparks in the air, both of them are people with super upper body strength, James is in a forward state, with the advantage of strength, while Li Feng is jumping without the ball, jumping higher than James, and his hand is accurately pressed on the basketball.

Li Feng successfully destroyed the dunk, but was hit by James and flew out of the bottom line again, James landed smoothly, but the ball was picked up by Kirilenko, the ball collided fiercely, and there was a little movement in the hand, but the referee was stunned and did not blow the whistle.

Li Feng was suspected of committing a foul, but two seconds late, the referee couldn't blow the foul again and awarded a good ball.

Kirilenko picked up the basketball, the Knicks launched a fast break, and Kirilenko passed the ball to Livingston, who was so fast that he was already in front of the three-point line. In the eyes of many people, Livingston will not attack, he is more likely to pass the ball, but Livingston took the ball and shook it towards Kirilenko's position, deceived Battier with a feint, and took the ball to the basket, Bathyr followed in the middle, but failed to cover it, and the ball went in again.

Defend and run, offense, that's the goal of the Knicks today.

The Knicks have to increase their speed regardless of whether the Heat have a pitcher or not. Defensively, the Knicks continued to defend 32.

The only change is that Monroe is responsible for guarding the perimeter, Kirilenko is defending the pick-and-roll, Bosh is pulled to the high position, and Monroe follows out of the line without changing the defense.

The reason why the Knicks started Kirilenko is to better defend and pick-and-roll, and the Heat are a team that is very good at blocking and pick-and-roll.

James still didn't have a chance to receive the ball in the front court, and passed to Bosh after blocking and dismantling, who then handed it to Wade, and after changing the defense, Li Feng followed Wade, and the defense was also very strict.

The Knicks kept changing between the 32 and 23 defenses through the rotation position, which was very tacit. Wade couldn't break through. And it was handed over to James. The latter singled Kirilenko for a turnaround jumper. The goal has finally gone in!

However, this goal was not scored in front of Li Feng. Li Feng still maintains a "clean sheet" against James. And the Heat's offense, the new force Battier didn't touch the ball on the outside, Livingston's defensive skills were undoubtedly displayed, and he kept pestering Battier. In a physical confrontation, Battier couldn't shake him off, and it was difficult to catch the ball.

Li Feng controlled the ball again and passed it to Livingston. Battier was much worse off the ball, Livingston received the ball easily, Livingston handed it over to Cousins, who pulled out the perimeter, and Li Feng began to run, first to the baseline, and then turned and changed direction to circle around the baseline.

If it is an attack with the ball, James will definitely be able to keep up with him, and now that Li Feng does not take the ball and only runs, James is a little unbearable, and he has to use his spare eyes to observe the position of the basketball. When necessary, help defend and play against masters. A moment of distraction can give your opponent an opportunity.

Li Feng finally bypassed James and entered the middle, Monroe and Cousins had already withdrawn the inside line, and Cousins took the ball at the top of the perimeter arc and passed to Li Feng. James quickly moved sideways to get in front of him.

Li Feng took the ball with his back and his right foot as the axis, took a big step with his left foot and turned to the right side, and the big step was about to "split", James was already a little slower, and hurriedly followed his center of gravity to the left.

Li Feng stepped back with his left foot, turned around and took a big step to the left side to jump, and threw a backward jumper.

James was completely shaken, and with Li Feng's sharp back, James jumped up and blocked, and he didn't even close his eyes.

After Li Feng turned around, it was just a 45-degree angle on the left side, and he was the most accurate in this position, and he hit the wipe board steadily.

Li Feng felt hot, and the Knicks led by 12 points.

What excites him the most is not the lead in the score, but the fact that he has found a way to deal with James, which is to run.

This kind of running is not a perpetual motion machine like Hamilton Reggie Miller, but a rhythmless one, running once, stopping a little, and the physical exertion is not serious.

Barkley exclaimed:

"If Li Feng can maintain his condition, even James can't guard against him, he combines skill and super physical fitness, it's too strong!"

Kenny Smith said: "In the past, people could find some shortcomings from Li Feng, but now he has become perfect, shooting, back-to-back offense, running without the ball, low-post footwork, step-back jumpers, his offensive skills are more comprehensive than James's, and he has the upper hand one-on-one." ”

Wade received the ball and broke through, Joel Anthony covered, Monroe changed the defense, and Kirilenko also bypassed the defense and entered the interior to wrap Wade, leaving Joel Anthony empty.

Joel Anthony hurried to the basket, he didn't do anything to the team in the high post, and the Heat had shortcomings on the offensive end.

Wade broke through the ball, Bosh covered Battier, and Monroe and Livingston switched defenses.

Battier passed the ball back to Bosh, who, despite his obvious height advantage, was difficult to turn around under Livingston's pressing, and Bosh retreated with the ball, and Livingston followed, not giving him any space to dribble.

Bosh passed the ball to Battier who ran to the top of the arc without the ball, Monroe followed, and the 24-second offensive time was about to come, Battier missed a pull-up jump shot, and Li Feng stuck James behind him to protect the backcourt rebound.

The Knicks fell into a positional battle, and Li Feng took the ball across the half court and handed it to Livingston and continued to run without the ball.

James suffered a loss and his heels tightened, and his attention was all focused on Li Feng. Because of this, James made a little joke.

Livingston passed, Monroe received the ball unsteadily, almost missed, the ball was behind James, he could get it when he turned around, but he didn't know it, ran with Li Feng without the ball, and missed the opportunity to steal.

But James' defense also played a role. Li Feng failed to receive the ball. Kirilenko missed a jumper with just 24 seconds left.

The two sides began to fight hard defensively, which was somewhat detrimental to the Heat, after all, they were too far behind in the opening score and had to chase points.

The Knicks are on the premise of guaranteeing a lead, so it would be better to send defensive players and extend the score if they can do so. The Knicks have succeeded.

The Heat's biggest reinforcement this year, the strongest surprise soldier Battier was really defended by Livingston, and he could only rely on covering to catch the ball.

The Knicks' defense is still tight after the change of defense, and Battier, a player who is known for his offense, is generally Cousins who defends the outside after the switch.

Cousins is as fast as he was when he first entered the league, and his height advantage can also interfere with Battier's outside shooting.

Both sides struggled to get good shots, with Bosh and Wade scoring one goal each in the space of four minutes. Only Cousins hit a mid-range shot from the Knicks.

Monroe gets a chance to basket up. A foul was caused. He missed two free throws and missed a great opportunity to score. The Heat still didn't get the score back, and Battier and Bosh both played for a long time if they played again in the second quarter. In terms of physical strength, you will be at a disadvantage.

With the Knicks Ross well rested and Harden still unplayed, they will certainly be able to lead the bench to steal points.

With four minutes left in the game, the Heat replaced Joel Anthony and sent Haslem to strengthen the offense.

Haslem lived up to expectations. As soon as he got on the court, he played a pick-and-roll cooperation with Wade, hitting a high jumper to help the team narrow the gap to single digits. Li Feng, who had been silent for a while, immediately returned the color, he relied on Monroe's cover to get rid of James, Livingston passed the ball to him in time, Li Feng immediately turned around and jumped the ball after receiving the ball! Haslem is highly mobile, has fast lateral movements, is good at defending breakaways, and can resist people in the low post, but he is only 203cm tall. If you change the defense a little slowly, you can't block Li Feng's dry shot, and Li Feng sees his weakness. The shot was very resolute.

Li Feng has scored 9 points, James still only has two points, and he was suppressed by Li Feng again in this game.

On the offensive side, James, who was defended by Li Feng and had a headache, also started to run without the ball and no longer organized an attack at the top of the arc.

Both of them use this kind of running style of play, and the physical exertion will be greater.

There is also a difference between the two of them running without the ball, Li Feng used his running to create a gap and scored a goal, but James ran to do useless work.

James exposed another flaw of his own, he is not good at running without the ball, and he can't run at all.

Since entering the league, James has been the only core of the Cavaliers, and in order to get him on the bench as soon as possible, the Cavaliers put Ricky, who scored 20+ points, that year. Davis sent it all away.

In his rookie season, James was attacking with the ball, relying on breakthrough offense, and his current style of play has not changed much, but at that time his shooting was not as accurate as it is now, and his shooting rate was relatively low, and he had never played a game that relied on running without the ball and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball.

James couldn't create a vacancy, Li Feng seemed to have become his shadow, in this case, James didn't shoot strongly, passed the ball again and again, and became a role player.

The Heat attacked, Wade passed the ball to Bosh who asked for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, ready to let him play with his back, and the Heat's low-post offense has not played a role today.

Bosh dribbled two steps with his back, looking like he was going to be resolute in singles, and Kirilenko, who was defending Wade, was suddenly relieved, just as he was panting, Wade suddenly started, shook off Kirilenko, and cut into the penalty area from the bottom line, Bosh handed the ball to Wade in a handing way, Wade passed Monroe with speed, and scored a backhand basketball. Monroe held Bosh on top, but he didn't expect Wade to come with such a hand, and he turned around and blocked slowly. In this game, Wade is still the most threatening player for the Heat, and the Heat deserve to be the first scorer.

The Heat played a beautiful offense, and Barkley's commentary was more passionate:

"Good shot! Wade and Bosh played a 2-on-1 match, and they both knew where each other would appear, and this tacit understanding was probably only available to couples. ”

Kenny Smith Khan said:

"I hope you don't have that taste?"

The Knicks attacked, Li Feng took the ball to the frontcourt, did not pass, and directly relied on Cousins' cover to break through to the three-point line, Monroe also pulled to the periphery, and the second block blocked Bosh for Li Feng, Li Feng got rid of the pull-up jump shot under the cover of Monroe.

James was a little slower to chase the defense from the side, hit a mid-range shot, and Li Feng scored his 11th point.

James' heart was beating wildly, not because of strenuous exercise, but because he was worried about Li Feng's hand.

He knew that Li Feng had found his touch, and it would be very troublesome if he kept throwing like this.

When Li Feng finds his shooting touch, he will play a crazy game, and 82 points are not explained. With this shot, Li Feng was more confident, and then he was ready to flash out and shoot and break the Heat's defense with a pull-and-shoot jumper.

The Heat attacked, Wade relied on Bosh's blocking to shake off Kirilenko, burst into the restricted area, and Monroe stepped forward to make up for the defense. Wade took the ball and changed to the right, jumped up with the ball, Monroe jumped high to block, Wade shrunk in the air and pulled the rod to make a layup, dodged Monroe's block, and hit the basket with a low hand.

Against a player like Wade, it's not enough to just have a bounce and shoot. The Knicks quickly sent out the baseline ball with only 37 seconds left, and if this offense is played fast enough, the Knicks can still get an offensive opportunity after the Heat complete the offense in a while.

Li Feng quickly dribbled the ball across the half, James was close, he passed to Livingston, and he started running without the ball again.

Livingston passed the ball to Cousins, and Cousins handed it to Monroe in the high post, who stood in the high post and handed the ball hand to Li Feng, who was running towards him. Li Feng didn't dribble the ball and rose up in front of Monroe.

James thought he was going to break through and go around to the left. Bosh also thought that Li Feng would break through and chose to block the right side, but Li Feng chose the most unlikely pull-out jumper, and Monroe stood in front of him, blocking his view, like a defender.

Bosh and James blocked from the side, but they didn't cover it, and the ball hit again!

26 to 16, Li Feng scored 13 points in a single quarter.

The Heat attacked, Wade controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Knicks did not come forward to press. The purpose of the Heat is to try to use 24 seconds to play a success rate, leaving less offensive time for the Knicks, while the Knicks want to stabilize the defense and defend this ball, five or six seconds are enough to complete an offense.
