Chapter 204: The Battle of Los Angeles

The whole game was like a quicksand, the team's defense gave the opponent too many opportunities to make easy layups, and the defense did not put a lot of pressure on the opponent, which was the main reason why we gave up the victory in the final stage of the game, and we still have a lot of areas to improve, especially in defense

Negro summed up the game with a helpless look on his face, and the Knicks' golden combination dominated the game, especially Li Feng's performance at the last moment determined the outcome of the game

I think Li Feng's performance has stunned everyone, they have always been full of desire to win, and against such a Knicks, every opponent has to play at their best level to beat them

I don't think there's any fuss about what the team has achieved now, the schedule at the beginning of the new season is good for us, and Li Feng has also entered the form very quickly in the new season, and everything seems to be going well now, and I think Li Feng can play better in the future

Taberdu accepted an interview with a spring breeze on his face after the game, bluntly praised Li Fengdi's performance, and also gave more expectations to Li Feng's next performance - a double-double of 40 points, 15 rebounds, and six assists, especially in the last minute, he scored six points in a row and laid the foundation for victory

The Clippers were eager to overtake us throughout the game, and the game was forced to a stalemate in the final stages, and this was just a façade, and some of our players wasted a lot of open shots during the whole process, and that's what we need to solve as soon as possible

This game once again made many people see the biggest problem with the Knicks at the moment, their performance compared to last season's defense, although it has improved a lot, but not much improvement on offense, Cousins cut 21 points and 13 rebounds, plus four assists, he and Li Feng's MVP-level performance that night ensured the team's winning streak, except that only Harden scored in double digits, and no one else exceeded double digits, and Tyberdu was obviously not happy with the result

In the next game, the Timberwolves, eager to get their first win of the new season, hope to take advantage of the Knicks' weaknesses, but their strength is not enough to contain the Knicks' golden combination, Cousins and Monroe's stable double-double performances have given the team an overwhelming advantage in rebounding performance, and Li Feng has staged another triple-double, this time Thornton and Matthews' excellent shooting performance has reduced the team's offensive pressure and sent the opponent to a six-game losing streak in the new season

"Who Can End Li Feng's Crazy Momentum" - the headline on the front page of the Los Angeles Sports Journal has hit this headline, and it has been a full ten days since the start of the season, and the Knicks have won six consecutive games to achieve the best start in team history, and they have become the only team in the East to remain undefeated this season, firmly holding the first place in the East

Their performance is tied with the Lakers in the West for the top spot in the league, and they have become the two most eye-catching teams since the start of the season, and in the latest edition of the league's official power rankings, the Knicks have also surpassed the Orlando Magic, becoming a strong team behind the defending champion Celtics and the Heat, as well as the Lakers, and the Knicks will come to Los Angeles again to challenge the Lakers in the game against the Clippers

Unbeaten in six games, a staggering triple-double, it seems that Li Feng, you and your Knicks have started to learn the right way to play, and your progress in the summer seems really great, and I will welcome you here at Staples

Kobe and his teammates rushed to the Staples Center early, quietly looking forward to coming to the Knicks in Los Angeles again, but they still need to face the challenge of Kobe and the Lakers first, Kobe's face is more serious than ever, and the atmosphere in the locker room has become extremely solemn......

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks showed a high level of competitive state, Kobe's hand didn't seem to be too hot, and in the first few minutes, the Lakers didn't get a single offensive opportunity, and Kobe Bryant wasted every time he tried to shoot...,

However, the Lakers quickly adjusted their offense, and the Knicks had a four-point lead at the end of the first half

At the beginning of the second half, seeing that the Lakers played a 13-2 attack wave to overtake the score, Tyberdu patted his forehead helplessly, and quickly called a timeout, telling Li Feng to pay attention to breaking through more and striving to tear apart the opponent's defense

Zhilu said Tom

Li Feng replied expressionlessly

Bang Bang Bang ...... After returning to the field

Li Feng immediately carried out Tyberdu's intention to accelerate with the ball and try to break through Artest's defense, who pressed closely, stood still, and held his chest up to meet Li Feng's raised arm, and fell to the ground exaggeratedly

force

Attack, push, foul, referee, whistle sound, and immediately made a penalty gesture

That guy was performing, and the physical contact between Li Feng and that guy didn't reach the level of a foul

Taberdu was in a hurry

The Knicks had a terrible game and now had a full 10 turnovers, but some of the penalties seemed far-fetched, and he had to press the referee loudly

SHIT

Li Feng scolded in a low voice, the opponent in this game aimed at his breakthrough and jump shots, greatly improved the defensive intensity, and after sparing no effort to mark people in the half and expand the defense, he also repeatedly cut off the connection between Li Feng and his teammates, making him and his teammates make mistakes many times, this kind of game is too depressing

YES

Artest, who was lying on the ground, watched the referee's gesture

Waving his fists excitedly, he stopped Li Feng's offensive performance again after freezing James in the last game, at least not yet

Ron...... Ron......

Artest was sounded at the Staples Center, and he proved that he had what it takes to be Kobe's right-hand man

In the last two games, Artest has put too much energy into the defense on the outside, although it has reduced his offensive ability, but he and Kobe Bryant's defense and offense have completely driven the performance of the whole team on both offensive and defensive ends, and if he continues to perform like this, he will also have a good future

TNT's broadcast commentary looked at Artest, who was full of excitement, and said with a sigh

……

Bryant shook continuously and then changed direction to break through Thornton, and the ball was near the baseline, and Fisher received the ball and threw a three-pointer

Li Feng faced Artest again, this time he did not choose to break through, dribbling outside the three-point line, seeing the opportunity, he raised his hand violently and passed the basketball straight to the basket, Cousins received the ball and immediately leaned back, but Gasol wisely retreated, and Cousins suddenly lost his balance at his feet

He staggered back two steps and threw the basketball into the hoop by feeling

The ball goes in

force

Cousins was interrupted by the referee's whistle before he could rejoice – the goal was disallowed

Walk Violation - Cousins fell into Gasol's trap, which has been repeated several times in this game

Shit softie

Cousins said unhappily that although he could suppress Gasol on both offensive and defensive ends, the latter's rich experience also made him suffer a lot

Offensive and defensive transitions, Kobe Bryant did not stage a personal heroism this time, and the breakthrough ball was given to Gasol under the basket, although the latter fell behind in terms of strength, but his experience and skills were used even better, and he resisted hard backwards, turned and retreated, and added two more points

However, Cousins turned to save face on offense, received a drop ball from Li Fengdi, dribbled violently, turned sideways, and slammed into Gasol, flying up and dunking with one hand

……

Bryant broke through again, and the ball almost made Thornton's defense look like a void, and Devin Brown, who came off the bench near the baseline, received the ball and hit a three-pointer

Bang Bang Bang ...... Hanging the ball to the inside Cousins back pass, Li Feng immediately changed direction after receiving the ball, and Artest, who accelerated and broke through the defense, did not have the slightest idea of giving up, and turned around to chase back again, clinging to Li Feng again

If you have any tricks, go ahead and use them

Li Feng suddenly stopped in the middle of the move, changed hands behind his back, changed his hand, changed direction, accelerated and broke through horizontally to the left, just when Bynum came up to make up for the defense, Li Feng changed to the side again, leaned on Bynum and jumped straight to the basket...,

force

Bynum even dragged the ball down, this kid didn't care about this foul at all, as long as Li Feng didn't get an easy chance to make a layup or a three-point opportunity, his foul was worth it, if Li Feng's free throw happened to be off the basket, it would make a lot of money

Well done, don't hesitate when Andrew fouls

Lakers coach KFC Grandpa Phil Jackson on the sidelines gave Bynum a thumbs up on the court, which they had anticipated

The outside line tried to stop Li Feng's jump shot as much as possible, and the inside line must not let Li Feng play easily again, taking advantage of the opportunity that the Knicks' main force and the bench have not yet formed a good match, the Lakers have a chance to win, of course, there is also a premise that they have to play their best

Despite making two free throws, the Knicks' situation still hasn't been turned around

In the last quarter of the game, Matthews and Wright, who came off the bench, once cooperated with Li Feng and Cousins to play a small wave

However, at the critical moment, Kobe's mid-range shot and Fisher's two consecutive three-pointers did not give them a chance to overtake

108-113 The Knicks' six-game winning streak in the new season has finally been curbed, and Li Feng's equally crazy all-around performance has also been temporarily ended, he only scored 28 points and 12 rebounds in this game, but was rewarded by the opponent with a career-high seven turnovers, if it weren't for the brave play of Cousins and Monroe on the inside, the team would have been able to determine the outcome of the defeat in the first three quarters

The two big men combined for 42 points and 17 rebounds to overwhelm the Gasol and Bynum combination, but the results were not as good as they could have been

We only played a few minutes of good play and the opposition was always at the best level, but the result was not surprising and we paid the price for our inadequacy and I had some difficulties and hopefully everyone in the team can learn something from it

In an interview in the locker room after the game, Li Feng took the responsibility for the loss

Although the winning streak was broken by the opponent, it also took some of the burden off the team and it was a good thing, Ron's performance tonight made my attack not smooth all the time, almost every time I made a shot, I was heavily defended by him and others, and tonight's game was a lot tougher than we thought, but luckily now we are about to return to home

We made a strict deployment for Li Feng before the game, and the most difficult result proved that this decision was very correct, which gave us a lot of advantages on the outside

Kobe Bryant and his team not only ended the Knicks' undefeated golden body, but also ushered in a seven-game winning streak, after the game of Kobe, who scored 40 points and 10 assists, he was very happy that the league was undefeated as long as the Lakers were a team, and the MVP contender Li Feng was defeated by himself, is there anything more exciting than this

Of course, this victory is also indispensable to Artest's hard work on the defensive end, and Kobe Bryant talked about this assistant

"It's always something we expect Ron to do, he's shown he's got what he's capable of stopping anyone from scoring, and I'm sure we'll have a good result this season

Artest threw himself into the defense, scoring only five points in the game but grabbing eleven rebounds, and he almost completely sacrificed his offensive power, which is the price he had to pay for defending Li Feng

It was a bit of a disappointment, we were not resolute defensively, we made a number of mistakes in attack, and the 22 mistakes in the game were not just caused by the opposition, but also because the players were not focused in the game

Tyberdeau, who was a little worried before the game, still had some regrets after the game, and the victory was entirely caused by the Knicks themselves, and there was no excuse for the loss

Despite losing this game, the Knicks' three-one record still ensured that Li Feng was reecutively elected as the Eastern Conference Weekly Winner, and his teammate Cousins was nominated for the first time in the new season (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.)
