Chapter 214: The Christmas War

Every year at Christmas, there are very exciting battles, and this year is no exception, not only that, but on Christmas Day, there are 3 battles at the same time.

The three games are: the New York Knicks take on the Los Angeles Lakers away, the Boston Celtics take on the Miami Heat on the road, and the San Antonio Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks.

There was nothing special about the Christmas game, Tyberdu still pressed Li Feng in the small forward position, Monroe and Ibaka guarded the basket, Wright was the shooter who temporarily sat in the starting point guard position, and the point guard was still Kerry Lowry.

The Lakers' lineup is also relatively balanced, with the maturing Andrew Bynum at the center, Pau Gasol at the power forward, Odom as the all-round forward as the filler, and Ron Artest at the small forward position who can never make the world peaceful, Kobe Bryant, the core of the scoring guard team, and Fisher, the point guard.

Comparing the two teams, it is easy to see that the current Lakers are still a team that relies on the main lineup to play the world, and Kobe Bryant's average playing time of 42 minutes per game has surpassed Li Feng by nearly six minutes.

The Staples Arena was once again full, more than 20,000 spectators eagerly awaited a big battle of Mars hitting the earth, Lakers fans are looking forward to seeing Kobe Bryant teach Li Feng a hard lesson under their noses, Li Feng's performance in scoring rebounds and assists since the new season is terrible, and the shooting percentage of steals and blocks has also overwhelmed Kobe, which is very unhappy for Los Angeles fans.

If it were the other way around, they would have loved to see it.

Jump Ball!

Syllable!

Although Monroe is not as tall as Bynum, his bounce and arm span are also quite good, and he steadily dialed the basketball to Lowry, making a forward gesture, Li Feng dribbled directly to the front court, and met the opponent of this game, Artest.

Li Feng dribbled and observed his opponent tonight. Although Artest has been increasingly marginalized by the Lakers and has not been the protagonist of the Kings or Rockets era, his defense has always been terrifying.

Li Feng swam to the left side of the outside line, lifted the ball over the top and first hoisted it to Monroe on the left wing of the basket.

Offensively, Li Feng is of course the undoubted first choice, but it is also necessary to contain inside, Wright and others have pulled to the weak side to create a single opportunity for Monroe, and Ibaka moved laterally from near the free throw line towards Li Feng's position.

Monroe held the ball past Gasol for a steal. The latter is just a bluff, and Monroe looked at Li Feng on the outside and didn't reach out for the ball.

He had a number in his mind. This is a test of his ability, leaning on Bynum sharply, first swaying to the right, stepping on a flexible pace and immediately leaning on the opponent to turn sharply left, dribbling towards the basket, jumping, hook shot.

"Well done. Greg! ”

Li Feng slapped Monroe who ran past him when he returned to the defense, encouraging his junior brother, now Monroe has a better growth environment, not only has a big book around him, but also has Cousins, a good friend, stimulated, maybe his playing time and role on the field will be somewhat limited, but as long as he can grasp the powerful factors and make full use of them, he and Cousins are expected to become a pair of excellent inside partners in the future, and this. It was also Li Feng and Walsh's greatest expectation of him at the beginning.

"Of course, I will cherish every opportunity!"

Monroe is now enjoying the atmosphere of the team more and more, with healthy competition from top to bottom, and Li Feng always feels plenty of forward momentum, which is simply not possible in Georgetown.

Turning around, Fisher dribbled to the front court and crossed to Kobe Bryant on the left wing, who also seemed ready to take advantage of the team play, lobbing the ball to Bynum on the inside. An pig catches the ball and turns around and hits a jumper, also with color. …,

"It seems that both teams are competing against each other today and are playing as a whole, which seems to be the way the Knicks would like to see the game!"

TNT, which was in charge of broadcasting the game today, brought in Barkley "Big Mouth" and his other partner, Kenny Smith.

"Judging by the games of this month of the new season. The Knicks already have a very good roster of players, and the impact of Cousins' absence is not as big as one might expect! ”

Barkley began to look for ways for the Lakers to beat their opponents.

"And the Lakers need Kobe to step up as soon as possible, and at the same time limit Li Feng's play as much as possible on the defensive end, hoping that Artest can bring us a surprise result!"

"It doesn't seem easy to limit Li Feng, but as long as it can disrupt the offensive and defensive rhythm of Li Feng and the Knicks, the Lakers are close to success,......, watch the game, Li Feng seems to be going to start attacking!"

Kenny Smith was about to continue, when the situation on the field interrupted him.

After each attack and defense failed, the basketball was pushed to the front court again, after several passes.

Li Feng held the ball on the outside and did not let the opponents come up to block and dismantle.

He faced Artest directly, stopped on the outside right wing, held the ball with both hands and raised to shoot, and after seeing that Artai was unmoved, he raised the ball again and stood up.

Don't think about shooting!

Ah Tai still didn't hold back after all, the disadvantage of height and arm length made him very careful when defending, and he stepped up and raised his hand to stick to Li Feng tightly. Their jerseys were almost glued together.

Receiving the ball short, striding sideways, changing direction and easily breaking through Atai's defense, Li Feng felt the rhythm of the dribble, and was re-entangled by Atai after two steps, stopped urgently, and jumped backwards, and Atai, who was chasing after him, had no time to make defensive moves.

watched the basketball draw an arc and fly to the basket, and with a bang, the ball went in.

Li Feng still maintained the shooting hand shape after landing, and glanced at Kobe Bryant on the weak side, and he had a decision in his heart at the moment he just shot, provoking Kobe's offense. Just because he trusts Teh and the team's defensive ability, he also has the intention of probing the bottom in this game.

After Kobe Bryant made a block with Gasol, he temporarily shook off Wright's pressing, changed direction and burst into the inside, attracting Lloris near the baseline to help defend horizontally, and immediately split the ball, Fisher received the ball, took a side step and dodged Wright who pounced on the defense, and the outside shot was three points off, and the rebound was grabbed by Monroe.

"Pass the ball!"

Li Feng retreated and took the initiative to ask for the ball, and immediately chased the back of the Lakers and launched a fast attack.

Burst to the middle circle and dribble with a change of hands behind your back.

Diagonally to the left wing, lifting the ball over the top, diagonally to Ibaka on the weak side, Li Feng moved to the top of the arc at the same time.

After Monroe came up, he stopped at the top of the arc, Li Feng ran past him, the Lakers' defense was almost completely in place, Ibaka passed the basketball back in time, Bynum stood back a step slower, whoosh, Li Feng received the ball and shot, a hollow three-point shot.

"See how long you can endure?"

Shhh......h There was a strong boo from the fans at the scene, they were very dissatisfied with Li Feng's actions at this time, this guy deliberately looked at his palms after shooting, as if he was surprised by the hot condition of his hands.

7-2, the Knicks had a strong tendency to be anti-guest after the opening.

Kobe Bryant quietly ran to the frontcourt, but he has begun to have some subtle changes in his heart, as the team's first point of attack, seeing the team falling behind, seeing Li Feng wreaking havoc on his turf, of course he can't be indifferent, but while he shows his personal ability, he still needs to drive his teammates, every victory since the new season has been won like this, and this game will be no exception. …,

Wright faced Kobe Bryant with the ball, this time he didn't stick too tightly, his left hand was raised horizontally to prevent the opponent from breaking through, and his right hand was raised high to interfere with the opponent's passing or shooting, this game limited Kobe Bryant's breakthrough is his main task, in his eyes, Kobe's threat to shoot outside is still not as good as Li Feng's.

Hanging the ball to the inside, Bynum received the ball and feigned a strong attack, but passed the basketball back to the outside sideways, Kobe Bryant made a block with Gasol, caught the ball and rushed into the inside, the Knicks also changed defense very quickly, Ibaka followed Kobe in time, and Wright pasted Gasol.

Suddenly, with an acceleration, Kobe Bryant showed amazing physical fitness, hit Ibaka's entanglement on the side, rushed to the wing of the three-second zone quickly, and when Monroe had not fully returned to defense, he jumped up and scored a powerful slam dunk with one arm.

Bang Bang Bang ...... The scene was boiling, all the fans couldn't wait to applaud warmly, they once again enjoyed Kobe's slam dunk, and this was also Kobe Bryant's first score in this game, it seems that the ace scorers of the two teams began to have-for-tat signs, this is the game scene they are most looking forward to.

"Wonderful! Kobe Bryant seems to have been born for basketball, his strength and speed, and his offensive skills! ”

Barkley bluntly praised Kobe.

"Guys, concentrate when defending, you can't let Li Feng score so easily!"

While Kobe Bryant was attacking, he didn't forget to remind his teammates that it would be difficult to win a game against the Knicks without a tough defense as support.

"Come on, Striker, even Bryant and Kobe Bryant and even Maddie Iverson have been prevented by me to hit a big drop, and you will be no exception!"

Artest's self-confidence rose after the Rockets played in form, and in the case of difficulty in becoming the boss, he chose Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, he failed to prevent Paul Pierce in the finals last year, and now he has to prove his ability to prevent Li Feng, who is more stylish than Pierce.
