Chapter 558: Suppressing the Half
Just when Li Feng went to the free throw line, Tyberdu decided to add a little more force and replaced Cousins, who is good at low-post offense, to the court.
The Knicks added firepower on the offensive end, and Tyberdu wanted to fight the Mavericks in the second quarter and then take the win directly.
The Maverick naturally noticed Tyberdu's substitution, and Carlisle hurriedly came over and shouted again at this time.
At Carlisle's roar, the Mavericks came up and played faster, and Collison quickly transferred the basketball to Nowitzki's hands with the first blow.
Although Nowitzki never passes thrilling balls, he has to admit that Nowitzki is indeed a master player who plays high positions.
Nowitzki took the ball and immediately passed it to Boubois on the flank, who was facing J.R. Smith.
In this way, Boubois wanted to take the opportunity to force one, but he only controlled the ball one step on his side, and Li Feng didn't know which corner he rushed out of the corner and blocked Boubois on the sideline.
The Knicks blocked the touchline again, and at this time Boibis was also young and a little anxious to pass the ball.
As a result, once the ball was thrown, Cousins, who had just come on the court, went over and stealed the basketball.
The Knicks made the steal, and by this time it was too late for the circus to retreat. Cousins made a long pass to Livingston, Livingston rushed up like a fast horse, Livingston rushed up, and Collison, the only one who could catch up with him, approached Livingston from behind, but saw Livingston pass the ball to Li Feng on the side at once.
Li Feng took a step forward with the ball and burst out from the flank. The whole person fit and smashed towards the basket.
In this case, Collison can't defend it, Boibis can't let go of the chasing Bois, and everyone in the Mavericks can't defend it.
Li Feng: "Bang! It smashed all over the calf's basket.
Li Feng ended the attack with a very happy slam dunk, and the Maverick was really anxious at this time! was led by eight points again, and if it continued like this, the Mavericks were finished.
So the Mavericks played this time, and the basketball went directly to Nowitzki, the Mavericks' pillar. Now Nowitzki has an advantage in playing both Jones and Cousins, so the Mavericks, who are good at playing misplaced, want to play the Mavericks first.
After Nowitzki came up, he also lived up to expectations and shook the ball from side to side. Suddenly threw a throw.
Nowitzki finally scored. Stabilized the situation for the team.
The Mavericks are really difficult to deal with, the Knicks have just picked up, and the Mavericks are immediately a steady counterattack.
Li Feng saw Nowitzki's counterattack, and he did laugh all at once. This is the time. If at this time the confidence of the calf is crushed. Today's game is half the win.
After Nowitzki scored, Li Feng immediately asked Jones for the ball again, and Li Feng took the ball again in the backcourt and went to the Mavericks' halfcourt.
The Maverick was ready at this time. Prepare to defend Li Feng, and then slowly get the momentum of the game back.
But at this time, Li Feng came over with the ball and called Jones's cover, Li Feng walked around Jones, and pulled up a three-point shot in front of Carman for no reason.
Li Feng's three-point shot was like a cold arrow: "Brush!" It smashed into the calf's basket all at once.
Nowitzki only scored 2 points on his side, and Li Feng immediately fought back with a three-point shot!
Once Li Feng's three-point shot was hit, the Knicks' home court immediately fell into a complete frenzy, Li Feng played too crazy in the second quarter, scoring again and again, not giving the other party any chance at all, and the Mavericks were losing one after another.
Li Feng was completely convulsed, and he was not unreasonable at all, and the calf wanted to take a breath at this time, and wanted to have a chance to be reasonable, but Li Feng didn't give it at all.
In this case, the Mavericks could only grit their teeth and hold on, and the Mavericks took the ball over and played Nowitzki.
Nowitzki has become the Mavericks' main scorer, which is a lot of pressure for Nowitzki, but now Nowitzki is also desperate.
came up and beat Cousins again, but Cousins really couldn't stop Nowitzki, and Nowitzki turned here and scored two more points.
Once Nowitzki scored here, Li Feng had to go to the bottom line to get the ball again, this time Carter didn't dare to let Li Feng take the ball, Carter used to desperately stop in front of Li Feng.
In this way, in order to play the rhythm of the Knicks, Jones threw the basketball into the hands of J.R. Smith from a distance.
Jr Smith also advanced quickly with the ball, and Boibis came over and wanted to lean on Jr Smith with his body, but when he was sticking towards Jr Smith, J.R. Smith flashed to the side with a back dribble.
Roderick Boibis then continued to chase, but at this time, after J.R. Smith dribbled behind his back, he suddenly pulled the basketball back with one hand. At the same time, a crotch dribble, J.R. Smith can change direction under the crotch after dribbling behind the ball, which is still at high speed.
Boibis is also a fast horse, but at this time Boibis is still a step slower, just such a step away.
J.R. Smith reached the Mavericks' three-point line, and at this position, J.R. Smith pulled up a three-pointer with a very fast hand.
"Huh!"
Nowitzki scored two points desperately, and the Knicks made another three-pointer.
All of a sudden, Madison Square Garden went really crazy, and so did all the Knicks players.
Li Feng also gave JR Smith a hard punch in the past, JR Smith was really powerful, when everyone in the Mavericks was staring at Li Feng, JR Smith shot and gave the other party a fatal blow.
With such a blow, the Knicks' morale reached its highest point at once, and all the Mavericks' efforts were in vain.
The Knicks finally stood at the highest point, and morale, luck, and competitive state all erupted at once.
At this time, the calf is indeed at a low point, although the calf is relying on the spirit of the team to support, but the calf's hard support is just the end of the strong crossbow.
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Mavericks by 10 points at 59-49. The calf had mental calculations and unintentional intentions, but in the end, this was the result, Carlisle's face sank like water, and the whole calf's spirit was also hit hard.
At halftime, the reporter came to interview Li Feng.
"Li Feng, you played very prominently in the first half today, what made you decide to start exerting your strength in the first half."
"Because the Mavericks are a strong team, I have to be in shape at the beginning of the game to guarantee a win."
Li Feng didn't say too much radical about the interview, but the reporter immediately said:
"But if this continues, do you still have enough body for the next game in the second half?"
Hearing this question, Li Feng smiled and said:
"You should have faith in my body. And I'm sure my teammates won't watch me run out. ”
When Li Feng said this, the reporter also laughed.
For the local media of the Knicks, they naturally know very well that the strength of the Knicks this year is indeed much stronger than last year, even if Rose is injured.
The Knicks played well in the first half, Li Feng was the main attacker, J.R. Smith and Livingston assisted, and Jones responded, and the team played quite three-dimensionally.
And Tyberdeau also designed beautiful defensive tactics for the Knicks, who had excellent performances on both ends of the floor.
In this way, it is reasonable for the Mavericks to lose by 10 points in the first half.
As soon as the Mavericks returned to the locker room after losing the first half, Carlisle roared at his players.
"Hell! Today we didn't play our rhythm at all, not at all. You've been scrubbed by a bunch of kids on the offensive end, and you have no dignity to speak of. On the defensive end, we don't need to use our brains at all, we have to use our brains to defend! ”
Carlisle was angrily scolding his players, angrily scolding his players for not being dignified and not using their brains.
"How long we practiced before the race, we were prepared. But on the pitch we couldn't play at all, and that's what saddens me the most. A player who has put in the effort but can't show it on the pitch is what it is, it's cowardice, naked cowardice. ”
Carlisle rearranged his team's tactics after scolding his players in the locker room.
Unlike the Mavericks, a group of people on the Knicks' side returned to the locker room, and Taberdu said almost nothing, no attitude, no tactics, and no Mavericks, but let his players handle the game on the court themselves.
This is also a different style of Carlisle and Taberdu! Carlisle is an academic student with Larry Brown, and he has to direct the team like Go, all according to tactics.
But Tyberdu is self-taught, he values the use of young players, and he likes the freedom of the players, and he is a player himself, so he takes that very seriously.
However, Taberdu didn't care about the details, Li Feng did find a few main forces in the locker room.
"Hey! Guys, the Mavericks wanted to win us today, and they set a trap in the first half, but they didn't do anything to us! I think they will definitely play harder in the second half, against the old ball skin like the Mavericks, they can only be ruthless, we are more ruthless than them! So in the second half, let's be prepared to fight hard as soon as we start and beat them down one at a time, otherwise it's not a good idea to entangle with the Mavericks. ”
"Hmm!"
"Yes, yes, even so!"
Li Feng's opinion was agreed by everyone, and everyone not only agreed with Li Feng's statement, but also discussed with each other how to cooperate.
The players discuss tactics and coordination with each other, which is definitely much more tacit than the coach's arrangement.
Of course, this does not mean that even if the locker room is chaotic and noisy, Li Feng now completely controls the Knicks' locker room, everyone communicates word by word, and finally Tyberdu makes a decision, which is completely a virtuous circle. (To be continued......)
