The Knicks started with a very smooth offense.

Harden and Morrow are in opposite positions and have the advantage of height and strength, so Tyberdu arranged for Rose and Harden to attack in the opening stage.

Li Feng is no longer responsible for the main offense, his main task is to defend Anthony and shoot after misposition. Li Feng is still the heaviest man on the Knicks, and the team needs him to act as a "blue collar" when necessary.

People don't look down on him because of this, and now fans are starting to have a new understanding of the word "leader". A leader doesn't necessarily have to score the highest score in every game, but he does what the team needs him most. Of course, Li Feng now has the most points in the Knicks, but it is a little less than in the regular season, but it is not the same as playing the Pacers in the last round.

The Nets are full of revenge for the Knicks, and they are down 0-2, and they dare not relax in the slightest. In the past few days, the Nets players have not been idle, training every day, shooting to find their touch, and they know that they need to shoot to beat the Knicks.

The Knicks' defense was tighter, Monroe and Harden sent big hats one after another, Li Feng blocked Anthony with his body on the periphery, and he missed three times in defense.

After five minutes of play, the Knicks allowed the Nets to score just four points. In the space of five minutes, only Delon had one open goal from the Nets' big three. With 6:48 left in the quarter, the Nets hit a second shot from David Lee.

At this time, Anthony swore from his heart that he must train crazy during the holidays, Li Feng's defense is too strong, and if his teammates don't cover, he can't get rid of Li Feng's entanglement at all. Li Feng can protect the basketball with his back, distance himself from him, play a single in the low post, turn around and throw a shot.

In this series, Li Feng has used this way to score points in front of him many times.

Delon continues to be the Nets' No. 1 point of attack, and Avery Johnson said nothing to Anthony before the game.

Anthony scored four points in the first quarter. DeLong had 10 points in his account.

After the first quarter, the Knicks led 26-20.

In the second quarter, the Knicks came off the bench as usual. Parsons and Serge Ibaka are paired on the inside, and Kirilenko, J.R. Smith and Ross on the outside.

The Nets fielded Evans, David Lee, Morrow, Joe Johnson, and Famar.

J.R. Smith and Parsons kept cooperating with each other, and David Lee was very active in blocking and pick-and-roll, keeping up with J.R. Smith and completing his job.

J.R. Smith passed the ball out of the line, Parsons had a surprisingly good hand in the game, and the small universe exploded, hitting two mid-range shots and a three-pointer, and the Knicks extended their advantage to 10 points.

"Magic" Johnson said:

"Parsons also seems to be a convulsive player. When the hand is not good, the shooting rate is only 40%, and when he finds the touch and can shoot continuously, the Nets are very unlucky, and since entering the playoffs, he has played such a performance for the first time. ”

Van Gundy Says:

"Parsons is a great fit for the Knicks."

Seeing that Joe Johnson alone could not lead the team's offense, the Nets replaced the main force in advance, and Anthony hit a three-pointer on the court to lead the team to start a counterattack.

Delon also attacked wildly, hitting consecutive jumpers. Another 12 points were scored in the quarter. The Nets also used joint defense against the Knicks, Li Feng felt cold, and he shot 0 of 4 in this quarter, and the Nets seized the opportunity to counterattack.

The Knicks led by just two points at 49-47 in the first half.

The Nets see hope.

Li Feng gradually found his sense in the third quarter. Tyberdu arranged for him and Harden to work together to attack the interior.

At 7 minutes and 56 seconds, Li Feng received the ball outside the three-point line, relied on Harden's cover to shake off Anthony and rushed inside, taking off and shooting. Delon and David Lee quickly pounced on the block, Delon fouled, and Li Feng lost his balance and turned his back to the basket. At the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, he threw the ball high with a backhand, and the ball almost went straight up and down into the basket. He scored 2+1 with an incredible goal and scored 3 points with free throws to give the Knicks a 58-52 lead.

Then the Nets burst out on the outside, Joe Johnson hit a three-pointer with 2:54 left in the quarter, Anthony scored another three-pointer 25 seconds later, and Joe Johnson scored another three-pointer before the end of the third quarter. The Nets made four three-pointers in the quarter to overtake the score.

The Knicks fell behind 71-73, their outside line was dumb in this quarter, shooting wildly, the Nets waited for an opportunity to compress the defense to the restricted area, and the Knicks used the same defensive strategy, forcing the Knicks to only shoot, the two teams fought for three points, and the Knicks players didn't feel good today.

Anthony found his shooting in this game, scoring 15 points in the first three quarters and hitting three three-pointers from the outside.

Avery Johnson asked the players to make bold shots on the outside, and the best way to break the joint defense is to shoot the ball in from the outside, and if you shoot more, the Knicks must defend themselves and have the opportunity to break into the interior.

The score was only two points apart, and commentators were optimistic about the Knicks' comeback in the final quarter, as the Nets had fallen twice in the fourth quarter.

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Knicks quickly went on a wave of 8-0 to take an 81-74 lead. Li Feng also hit a three-point shot after blocking his teammates on the outside, and Monroe singled David Lee in the low post to score a jumper. J.R. Smith, who came off the bench, also did well, hitting a three-pointer.

With six and a half minutes left in the quarter, Harden scored a beautiful shot with a fast-break dunk to keep the Knicks leading 83-78.

Nets head coach Avery Johnson broke through and sent Morrow again.

The substitution paid off quickly, as he hit a three-pointer and another 3-pointer with 3:43 left before the break, and the Nets tied the score at 85 with the efforts of other players.

During this time, the Knicks were completely dumb from the outside, and they missed several shots, and only Harden threw in a mid-range shot.

Tyberdu asked for a timeout and arranged a double-block tactic, and Anthony did not perform much in the fourth quarter, but Li Feng, who was also dragged by excellent defense, could not score, and the two became dragons on the court together.

At the end of the timeout, both sides scored one goal each and continued to tie.

The Knicks still couldn't get back their senses, Li Feng turned around and missed a shot in the low post, Anthony won the backcourt rebound, and a long pass found Deron to launch a counterattack, Delon broke through and hit a layup, and also caused Harden's foul, and after hitting the free throw, the Nets went 90-87 with 2 minutes and 10 seconds left in the game.

It was a very crucial goal. In this game, the Nets finally found a way to break the Knicks' defense, that is, three points from the outside and a quick counterattack, play as fast as possible, and shoot before the Knicks interior players are in position.

After that, the Nets defended Li Feng more tightly, he relied on the cover to get rid of Anthony, David Lee would immediately change the defense, and Anthony would also assist in the defense and let Monroe go. Li Feng chose to transfer the ball laterally when he was trapped, and at the critical moment, Harden was shocked to appear as a "butter hand", and the mistake of receiving the ball was easily stolen by Joe Johnson. Anthony immediately went on a fast break, received a pass and forced a layup in the face of Li Feng's defense.

25 seconds before the end, Joe Johnson hit another three-pointer under strict defense, the Nets maintained the lead 93-87, there was not much time, the Knicks hit the front court as soon as possible, Cousins forced a three-point shot, and the rebound was obtained by David Lee to seal the win.

Delon contributed 33 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Anthony 23 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, David Lee 14 points, Joe Johnson 17 points, Anthony Lee. Jones contributed nine points. 3-of-4 three-pointers.

In this game, the Knicks scored five in double figures. Li Feng only had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Harden Nix scored the most, with 22 points and 7 rebounds. Rose had 13 points and J.R. Smith had 14 points. Cousins had 14 points and 11 rebounds.

The Knicks shot just 42.7 percent from the field overall and even worse with 28 percent on three-pointers. The Nets' defense has shown a very high standard.

After the win, the Nets players kept a low profile. They regained hope of winning, but now that the Knicks are leading the total score, it is too early to say that they are confident of "turning the tables".

Avery Johnson said:

"The players worked hard in this game, we played a little passive at the beginning, but luckily we made adjustments in time to chase the score back, it was a good game, we have to keep this attacking feeling in the next game, and we don't want to lose our rhythm at key moments."

After the game, some experts also admitted that there is no obvious gap in the strength of the Knicks and the Nets, it depends on who can seize the opportunity at the critical moment on both sides, the first two games are the Knicks, and this time it is the Nets' turn.

Morrow hit two three-pointers for three minutes in the fourth quarter and dealt a heavy blow to the Knicks. The Nets compressed the defense, and the Knicks outside players had no touch, so it was reasonable to lose, and the fourth game was still played at the Nets' home court.

Li Feng hit only 6 of 18 shots, plus scored 18 points from free throws, and the game was a big dispar.

The Nets found a way to defend Li Feng, and at the beginning of the game, Tyberdu did not arrange for him to attack, and when he found that other players could not open it, and then handed the ball to Li Feng, he couldn't find a feeling.

After the game, Tyberdu admitted that he had made some mistakes in his tactical arrangements and that he was responsible for his team's defeat. Especially in the fourth quarter, when the Nets sent Morrow, the Knicks players listened to Tyberdu's arrangement, or the main defense Carmelo Anthony and Delon, thinking that was the key. Unfortunately, Avery Johnson pulled up two pick-and-roll screens for Morrow to get the ball on, and the humble role player helped the team win the game.

After this game, the Knicks also learned a lesson, and that is not to underestimate anyone. Anyone who can play in the NBA has two shots, Parsons can score like crazy in the second quarter, and the Nets players can certainly do it. They already knew this truth, but they couldn't remember it when they played the game.

The Knicks players are too confident, winning 36 in a row, and after sweeping the Bucks and Pacers in a row, it seems as if the championship is in the bag, which is not the case.

Li Feng was trapped by Anthony's pressing and side pinching throughout the game, and he couldn't hit the basket, and once he encountered this situation, he could only shoot, and his shooting was not accurate in every game. It was a fluke to make two three-pointers in this game, otherwise he would have scored even less.

After losing, Li Feng stayed in the hotel and didn't go out, thinking about the strategy for the next game.

The next game is very crucial.

If you win, the Knicks will get the match point 3-1, and there will be no pressure in the fifth game, and if you lose, the fifth game will become a "battle of Tianwang Mountain" that both sides want to win, and the pressure on the Knicks will be greater than the next game.

The Nets want to win this game, and the local news media keeps promoting it, encouraging the home team to play at their best, and as long as the Nets equalize the game, the situation will become confusing.

The atmosphere at home of the Nets is much warmer before the next game, a win can change a lot of things, and people are creatures who strive for perfection at heart.

Because of the pursuit of perfection, the Nets were disappointed to the point of wanting to give up on them when they were down 2. And with one win, the fans are craving for a second win.

There were no changes to the starting XI and play-on teams on both sides, and both used a hybrid defense that was compressed into the box.

After three games, there are no secrets left between the two sides. It depends on who plays better.

Today, Li Feng actively attacked after the opening, but unfortunately the shooting rate was not high, and he only hit 1 of 4 shots in the first quarter.

Both teams strengthened their defenses and failed to get into attacking mode, and both failed to pull away from the score.

Li Feng hit his only goal halfway through the quarter, giving the Knicks a 10-10 lead, which was the biggest difference between the two sides, and the last two teams ended the quarter 16-16. Anthony played worse than Li Feng and didn't score in the first quarter.

Buckley Says:

"Both teams worked on defense, they couldn't even fly a fly on the inside, they were very close on the outside, and only Monroe's shot was open in the first quarter. Also missed. ”

Kenny. Smith Road:

"I think both sides should have pitched pitchers in the second half."

A big reason for the Knicks' last loss was the inaccuracy of their outside three-point range, and today they continued to shoot from the outside, but they didn't hit a single shot in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, and Parsons failed to repeat the magic of the last game, shooting 0 of 5, which is a bad sign, and the Knicks' three-point shot was still not accurate today.

Joe Johnson hit four three-pointers in the second quarter to lead the Nets' bench to pull the score, and J.R. Smith had problems defending him. Joe Johnson had three balls that went straight to the basket without being covered by his teammates.

Li Feng took three shots in the quarter and hit only one shot. With 1 point left in the quarter, he scored a fast-break breakaway layup. In positional battles, the Knicks simply couldn't break through the defense and get to the basket.

Rose hit a three-pointer in the last minute. The Knicks trailed 35-40 in the first half.

It was a real defensive battle, and for the first time in a season, the Knicks scored less than 40 points in a half.

Li Feng combined with free throws to score only 6 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. He had 2 assists and was completely dumb on the offensive end.

Anthony's 6 points and 4 rebounds and assists weren't much better, and they were destined opponents. Restrain each other on the pitch and cause the opponent's stats to drop.

At half-time, Barkley quipped:

"If the Nets beat the Knicks to reach the Finals this year and win the championship, the FMVP will definitely be awarded to Deron and nothing to do with Anthony. And if the Knicks successfully defend the title, Li Feng will get the FMVP, but the data must be ugly. ”

Kenny. Smith sighed:

"It's a pity that the Chinese Yao Ming has retired, and this summer's Olympics can only watch Li Feng fight with the American team alone."

In the third quarter of the game, Li Feng still didn't find the touch of shooting, but worked harder on the defensive end. In this game, Delong also began to play iron, and the score of the two sides did not pull away.

The best offensive person in the Nets is Joe Johnson, in Li Feng's opinion, he will not have the color of "Eagle King" when he goes to the Nets, and has become a role player. Li Feng finally let out a bad breath, David Lee covered Anthony and blocked Li Feng, Anthony hit the door with the ball and turned around and burst into the inside, jumping up and preparing to dunk with one hand.

Li Feng risked letting go of David Lee's defense on the periphery, and sent a big hat to press Anthony's dunk down.

Anthony lost his balance and sat on the ground in embarrassment, Li Feng immediately attacked quickly, Anthony couldn't get back on guard, Li Feng received the ball and entered the penalty area, and hit Delong with a two-handed slam dunk, causing 2+1.

It was the most beautiful goal since reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, and Li Feng humiliated two key players of the Nets at the same time. After he hit a free throw, the Knicks tied the score at 51-52.

Delon was hit this time, and his state slipped even more, and he couldn't score two consecutive shots, but David Lee went crazy again, threw in the middle twice, and played a pick-and-roll match, and after receiving a pass from Joe Johnson in the middle, he stepped past Rose, rushed into the inside, and staged an amazing one-handed dunk.

Cousins made up for the foul and pushed David Lee hard, but David Lee still pressed the ball into the basket when he lost his balance, and after landing on the ground, he rolled twice before stopping, but fortunately he was not injured.

David Lee also hit the penalty and played 2+1. He played bravely and scored 12 points in a single quarter. The two sides ended the first three quarters 63-65, with the Knicks trailing by two points.

The score continued to be scorching in the fourth quarter, and Li Feng dodged Anthony's block on the left side with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, and hit a board-wiping shot to give the Knicks a 75-70 lead.

Unfortunately, this was the Knicks' last lead, after which Deron counterattacked and hit a three-point shot, Lopez grabbed a frontcourt rebound and caused a foul, and made both free throws, and the Nets scored five points in a row to overtake the score.

After that, the two sides were tied several times, and with 1:17 left in the quarter, Anthony countered and drew a foul and hit both free throws.

The Nets only led by two points, but the shot was pivotal as Harden was fouled on six fouls and the Knicks lost a firepower.

With 46 seconds left in regular time, Li Feng stepped on the three-point line and hit a two-point shot, and the two sides were tied at 88. The Nets' most crucial shot was handed to DeLong, who missed the layup, Li Feng grabbed the rebound, and there were 91 seconds of offensive time.

The Knicks made their last offense. The Nets guarded Li Feng strictly throughout the game, and of course this time it would not be easy for him to catch the ball and shoot, Tyberdu arranged a tactic to let Li Feng attract the defense and pass the ball out (to be continued......
