Chapter 401: Incomparably Brilliant
(Wait for the revision!) )
With a 2-0 lead, the New York Knicks have almost touched the O'Brien Cup with one hand, and the next two games will be played in Oakland, the home of the Golden State Warriors, at the Oakland Arena.
Force!
The referee blows the whistle and the third game officially begins!
At this time, the referee walked between Cousins and Chandler with the basketball in his hand, signaled to the two with his eyes, and threw the ball into the sky, and the game began.
The two jumped almost at the same time. But Chandler actually hit the ball to Corey before Cousins.
"That's not a good sign!"
Li Feng's heart suddenly popped up with such a sentence.
Corey quickly stabilized his possession and controlled the basketball, ready to make his first attack of the game.
Soon, though, his pace slowed down, and in front of him stood Rose, the opponent of the match.
In the face of this tough opponent who had to make one or two steals every game and caused the opponent to make a few mistakes, Corey did not dare to be careless at all, carefully dribbled sideways, and blocked the front with his left hand to form protection.
And at this time, Li Feng, who had been following Thompson closely, suddenly felt a wave of resistance coming.
It was the blockade, and Xiao Si stood on the route of his action.
Thompson immediately ran back to open the gap!
At the same time, Corey made a through pass, and the ball was accurate to Thompson's hands.
"Huh!"
Thompson's textbook shot hit the target accurately!
The Golden State Warriors took the lead and seemed to be announcing to the Knicks that this was Oakland and that they were going to win at home.
The Knicks attacked, came to the frontcourt, and opposite Cory, Rose's shoulders quickly shook twice, and he leaned forward with the ball with his right hand to make a breakthrough. The whole person rushed to the left, his right hand turned behind him, and the ball turned half a circle behind him and fell into his left hand, directly past Corey and rushed to the basket.
Li Feng and Cousins switched positions, Chandler and Li Feng pushed and grabbed the position, Rose shook off Corey to put away the ball, bent his right leg to reveal a riding posture, and jumped up at Chandler.
There was no way, Chandler had to open his arms to defend, and Rose made a quick shot. But he didn't shoot, but stabbed the ball diagonally and shook it to Li Feng, who was in the vacant position.
Li Feng received the ball and took a step inward, jumped up into the penalty area, and sent the ball into the hoop smoothly with his wrist.
With the assist, Rose looked back and smiled at Cory, who shrugged gracefully, clearly not taking the attack seriously.
Looking back, Corey immediately showed the sword in his hand. He rushed inside with the speed of the AI, and Rose stepped back to get up to Corey, who twisted his knees and stopped the advancing figure. When Rose also stopped, he accelerated again, hitting such a speed difference, and just passed Rose.
Corey threw his hand up. Li Feng was stuck next to Chandler, so he could only reach out in vain to interfere and watch the ball fall into the hoop.
"Call back!"
Li Feng said firmly.
This time, Li Feng didn't need Ross to struggle to break through the ball. He reached out directly to the ball in the three-second zone, and his broad body slammed backwards, Chandler snorted and was pushed away half a step, and there was a gap in this half step, Li Feng turned around and inserted it under the basket, raised his hand and jumped.
Chandler chased and jumped up from behind, but it was just a feint, and Li Feng pulled the ball back and waited for him to start falling, then he threw the ball head-on and dropped two points again.
Li Feng scored four points in a row, and the fans in the Oakland arena refused to agree, and they shouted 'revenge' in unison under the leadership of the DJ, urging Chandler to respond.
Everyone has grown up in being taught, they are not willing to be mediocre and unwilling to be taught, so after suffering a loss, they will go back to practice their skills hard, and turn back to continue to take revenge.
Corey handed the ball to Chandler very smartly, and the latter leaned on Li Feng and took a deep breath, his shoulders shook four or five times irregularly, and suddenly turned and cut forward.
Li Feng hurriedly stepped back, his arm still in front of Chandler, and his other hand raised, interfering with his vision.
Chandler took a quick step forward against Li Feng, and retreated quickly with strength in his waist and abdomen.
After opening up the distance, he aimed for the hoop and threw the ball out of the hoop with a blank face.
"Smack!"
Despite the gap, Li Feng still jumped bravely. Leaping in the air with one arm, the basketball had not yet flown to the highest point, just happened to be slapped by him, and he slapped it back.
A bunch of guys on the Knicks bench roared to the sky, Ellis calmly cut in to pick up the ball, rushed into the restricted area in two steps, and sent it with one hand against Monroe, steadily sending the ball into the hoop.
"!"
Li Feng was dumbfounded, but it took a lot of effort for him to risk Chandler's shot. I didn't expect it to be such a wasted effort.
The gang on the bench was even funnier, and JR and Kirilenko were still with their mouths open, and they didn't know for a moment whether to continue cheering for Li Feng's block or to silence the team's mistakes.
Tyberdu shook his head, smiling, still breezy and light.
The Warriors' defensive quality began to rise, and Li Feng went to the perimeter.
Thompson came up to defend him, Chandler remained in the low post, and the Warriors started their best defense.
At this time, the Warriors' defensive strategy was similar to that of the Rockets, but Thompson was more effective than Maddy's defense, and he did not directly hit Li Feng's body, but stared at him from a small half-step distance.
Li Feng wanted to push him away with force, but Thompson was cunning and didn't step forward, so Li Feng went inside, and he didn't find a chance to shoot at the end, and he had already fallen into the inside line to face Chandler directly.
"That's how it is!"
Li Feng was speechless, he knew that it was better to go directly to the inner line to strengthen his plan, and this top and back and forth feelings were in vain.
Harden smashed Huang Long to answer, Li Feng passed the ball over, he stepped into the restricted area to make a shot but had no chance, so he had to pass the ball to the outside again.
Ross organized, more than a dozen seconds passed, and the offense entered the countdown stage.
Cousins slipped to the bottom line and ran out of space with the help of Monroe, Rose immediately passed the ball, the former jumped and missed, and Chandler took the rebound.
Corey burst inside again, this time to Ellis, who stood at the top of the three-point line and passed to Thompson on the weak side.
The little white bird jumps from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball makes a beautiful arc in the air. One fell into the hoop.
Among the players present, except for Li Feng, I am afraid that Thompson's three points are the most accurate.
Fans only know that this guy is white and his shooting is very accurate, but Thompson's defense is also the best on the outside of the Warriors. Thompson hit a three-pointer with a non-startled expression, just waving to the fans as he ran to the frontcourt.
Li Feng felt that the Warriors seemed to have been assimilated by Chandler, and the same would be true for Corey and Ellis in the future, and there was no sense of excitement after scoring.
Rose looked beyond the three-point line for a breakaway. Gerrard ran over to cover him and managed to keep out Corey.
Rose got his chance and ran sideways past the pair with the ball, then ran parallel to Thompson and looked on the verge of a breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the two of them staggered, Rose, who was moving quickly, suddenly fell to the ground, he was completely unprepared, and the ball just slipped out of his hand and was picked up by Ellis.
Corey reflexively runs forward from beyond the three-point line. Ellis passed, no one caught up with him, and Corey made an easy three-step layup.
"What's wrong?"
Li Feng was about to go up and pull up Rose, looking puzzled. This kind of low-level mistake has never happened to Rose.
Without him pulling, Rose stood up at once, and after standing up, he rushed to Thompson next to him, pushed the other party and shouted:
"Rookie. Who the fuck taught you to do that. Did you know that this is going to break my ankle?! ”
Thompson raised his hand and looked at the referee with an innocent face, Harden hugged the excited Rose, and Cousins stood in front of Thompson. looked at him with a rebellious face, looking like that, he was still afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
It stands to reason that the referee could have awarded a foul on Ross, but all three referees turned their heads at the same time and pretended not to see his movements.
These people all knew what was going on, and it must have been that Rose tripped Thompson when he broke through, but they didn't catch Thompson at the time, and they couldn't make a penalty.
Wild boos erupted from fans at the Oakland Arena, with some young fans standing up with middle fingers and shouting:
"Chicago's traitor, basketball is a tough guy sport, get out of the way if you're afraid of death!"
"Sentenced him to a technical foul, he pushed people, damn it, referee, are you blind?"
"Beat them, Tyson, beat them! Beat these bitches hard! ”
The three referees had already gathered, and Li Feng couldn't do anything he wanted to, so he pulled Harden away, pointed at Thompson and said:
"Clay, tough and dirty are two different things, whoever wants to my brother, I will kill him"
Chandler stood in front of Thompson in time, just separating the two, Li Feng clenched his fist and let it go, and said to Chandler with a gloomy face:
"Tyson, watch your buddy, I don't want to hit people here!"
Chandler looked at Li Feng with a flat and expressionless face.
From 4 to 9, the Warriors scored 7 points in a row at once, slightly widening the score gap.
The referee motioned for the Knicks to serve, and Li Feng turned around and asked Rose:
"How's it going, is it okay?"
Rose shook his head, and he moved his knees and ankles to signal not to worry.
Li Feng asked for the ball outside the three-point line, looked coldly at Thompson, who was half a body away from him, and slowly slapped the ball.
Thompson has a big heart, Li Feng is so clear that he wants revenge, and ordinary people have already avoided it, but he is fearless and still defends like he did just now, like a piece of kraft candy, Li Feng can't get rid of it.
After two dodge feints, Thompson was still standing steadily.
Seeing this, Li Feng withdrew the ball, and his calf bent and jumped up quickly like a spring. Thompson didn't continue to watch this time, but he immediately posted it when Li Feng collected the ball.
Li Feng expected his reaction, Thompson moved, his body that was about to jump pulled back, and suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees with his right foot as the axis, and his strong and powerful ass was aimed at Thompson who pounced.
Thompson seemed to have been hit by a car, screamed and staggered out of the way, until this point. Li Feng turned around and jumped calmly outside the three-point line, turning the score to 7-9.
The referee made a three-point effective gesture, and Mark Jackson was immediately angry, and he jumped up and shouted:
"It's a offensive foul! It's a offensive foul! Their number 0 hit someone with the ball! ”
Li Feng glanced at him disdainfully, quickly retreated, and Corey had already advanced to the front court with the ball.
That thorn in the Warriors was Smalls, and Corey passed the ball to Chandler.
He and Ellis started on the wings and sprinted inside to outflank, and Thompson ran along the three-point line from corner to corner, leading Harden to find open spots.
Facing Li Feng's defense. Xiao Si swayed and pushed inside.
There was a gap in the strength of the two, and Xiao Si couldn't push it after two steps.
Corey shook off Rose and cut it past him, he immediately passed the ball, and when Corey got the ball, he was already close to the three-second zone, Li Feng was shocked, and he had to let go of Xiao Si to make up for the defense.
Li Feng jumped up to block, Corey raised his arm to protect the ball, and his backhand pierced the ball back, just to the misplaced Xiao Si.
Rose has a good sense of switching defenses, but the problem is that the height difference between him and Smalls is too much. In the face of Ross, Xiao Si jumped up without hesitation and buckled his arms!
Rose shook his head helplessly, and after getting the ball, he looked at the position of his teammates, Harden was running inside, Rose's eyes lit up and he put away the ball and was about to pass, Corey took a step back and jumped high to cut off the ball, but when he jumped, he couldn't see the shadow of the basketball flying towards him.
Harden slipped to the basket and the ball boldly passed to him from beyond the three-point line. At this time, Ellis was still defending Harden, who was vacant in the restricted area, ran out in two steps and then jumped up, waving his arm for a one-handed split.
Mark Jackson watched the game on the court with a cold eye. The two teams battled defensively, and the score rose very slowly, and after five minutes of play, he waved a timeout. Called the players to the bench:
"Listen, it's not right to play like this, I don't like it! Stephen. Don't be too busy scoring, divide the ball, you pay attention to the ball to Tyson or Amal! Monta, the team needs your help, you're the point of scoring, you know? Three-pointers or breakaways, whichever you like, you have to pay attention to Stephen, and when he attracts a bag or a defense, you have to pick him up! ”
Tyberdu also made corresponding deployments, and the two coaches did not make substitutions, and the main lineup was still on the pitch.
After the timeout, Corey followed Mark Jackson's guidance, and in the face of Rose's defense, he used pure speed to attract the opponent to follow, and then turned and passed him, shook off Rose and went straight to the basket from the middle in the direction of Li Feng.
Li Feng estimated that Rose wanted to attract himself to make up for the defense and then distribute the ball to Xiao Si, but he had to go up to make up for the defense, and Corey's scoring ability was already the top among point guards.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Feng got out of the way, Xiao Si hurriedly pulled out the distance with Monroe, Corey shared the ball, and he made a decisive shot to hit a goal.
"Shit!"
Li Feng scolded in a low voice, and Rose said with some embarrassment:
"Sorry......."
Li Feng explained while serving:
"No, no, Derek, we can still win. Hey, give me the balls! ”
As Li Feng spoke, the two had already arrived in the front court, Rose made a breakthrough to force back Corey and passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng rushed into the penalty area like a black whirlwind, Chandler from the front, Thompson from behind, the two stepped forward to wrap him, in the face of black and white, Li Feng jumped up decisively, hooked in the penalty area, and hit accurately!
The sparse applause in the Oakland Arena was already remarkable, and other stars such as Kobe Bryant could not easily have received applause here.
Corey mentioned that the left wing of the three-point line was at a 45-degree angle, and Chandler helped him make a pick-and-roll, and Corey broke through to the inside to attract the bag and then split the ball to Chandler.
Li Feng bared his teeth and pounced on Chandler, who turned and jammed him and passed the ball to Ellis.
Ellis entered the restricted area like a demon snake, Monroe came out to make up for the defense, his body twisted, quickly shook off Monroe, jumped up and made a backhand layup.
At this time, Cousins was on the outside, the restricted area was completely empty, Li Feng was attracted by Chandler, there was no threat, and Ellis's layup was easy and comfortable.
Tyberdu solemnly called a timeout to prepare for a substitution, Li Feng shook his head, he knew that Tyberdu was ready to change Ibaka or Kirilenko to strengthen the defense, but Li Feng thought it was still early.
Li Feng raised his foot and wiped his hand on the sole of his shoe, and after wiping off the sweat, he asked for the ball outside the three-point line again.
It was still Thompson who came up to defend him, Li Feng glanced at him coldly, slowly slapped the ball with his right hand, he looked at the position of his teammates, and suddenly rushed out of the air with a lunge, leaning over and speeding away like a car in Formula 1.
At such a moment, Thompson didn't even have time to react, he was a standard small forward, explosive enough, fast enough, and agile enough, and even then he was almost thrown off.
Fortunately, Thompson reached out and grabbed the opponent's jersey when Li Feng was about to stagger past him.
Thompson could stumble like he did with Rose, but not when he doesn't want an ankle.
Even the children in kindergarten know that if he faces a muscular person like Li Feng, if he stumbles, he may be kicked and his ankle broken.
It was enough to pull the jersey, Li Feng's charging speed had to be weakened, and even then, the two quickly entered the three-second zone, and according to the Warriors' tactics, Chandler came up to change the defense.
Li Feng didn't give them this chance, he turned around and passed the ball to Harden's hands.
If Harden still misses the shot, then Tyberdu will strangle him.
In fact, playing like this is more tiring for Li Feng than scoring by himself, but he can't take up too much shot, otherwise his teammates will not have a chance to warm up his hand. After hitting a three-pointer, Harden stretched out three fingers and shook them at the Knicks' bench, and Jr stood up and punched him in the air, shouting:
"Well done, James, just fucking kick their asses like that!"
The Warriors' tactics are very simple, Xiao Si covers Corey to break through, and after the breakthrough, he divides the ball or lays up according to the situation, Xiao Si and Ellis are constantly cruising in the high and low positions, and Corey has a lot of room for choice, plus he has outstanding ability, and the offensive organization is orderly and powerful.
After six minutes of play, Tyberdu called a timeout and replaced Li Feng off the court, and he always found time to rest in the first half, because the next time he played, he would play until the end of the game. (To be continued......)
