Chapter 273: The Fierce Beast Breaks the Iron Bull Formation
The fourth quarter of the sixth game of the Finals affected the minds of all the spectators, and if they were buried under the Knicks' crazy offense, the Mavericks would be able to watch the Knicks reach the top and win the cup.)
It was for this reason that the Mavericks' players were gearing up on the eve of the fourth quarter of the game, and everyone looked energetic in front of the head coach.
Now they are only two points behind the Knicks, and there is still a road ahead, as long as they can win this game, it is still unknown whether the Knicks' games will be difficult in the future.
"Take down the Mavericks in one go!"
This is the order that Tyberdu made to the Knicks players, and he was greeted by the players' loud promises, and everyone was using their own words to express their confidence that the Knicks won this game.
The Mavericks' bench was also full of fighting spirit, as if everyone had just undergone a major baptism, and the game had reached this point, and they had no way out, and their only remaining path was to advance or retreat.
All they want is a win in this game, and if they can win, then the future of the season is still very likely, but if they lose this game, then all that awaits them is a theoretical counterattack.
The game restarted, and the Mavericks had a wonderful temperament of mourning and victory, as if everyone's bones revealed a kind of desperate fighting spirit to lick the blood at the tip of the knife that died on the other day.
At this moment, it seems that all the Mavericks members have become outlaws, and every time they can't hit, they have to fight their bodies to cheat a foul in the hands of the Knicks, and every time they defend, they even give up their bodies and fouls to defend.
The Mavericks' rage quickly bounced back from the Knicks, and within four minutes of the game began. The Mavericks instantly launched a 14-8 scoring super wave, and they have reversed the Knicks' four-point score.
Now it's Cousins' possession. He had just received a pass from Lloris and started to attack with all his might.
It's just that he has an extra eye when attacking, because the Mavericks are so crazy that just now he was even pushed directly out of the bottom line again, curled up on the ground for a long time before getting up.
The Mavericks couldn't talk to them about clean basketball today, and it all started with Kidd, who first spared no effort on Lowry's defense, and at one point he forced his body to fall backwards and slipped back more than a meter to get an offensive foul. On offense, he stabbed inside like a gust of wind, even though he wasn't the fastest man on the basketball court anymore. But he still glided into the sky of the crowd.
Then there's a dunk. And Kidd was pushed a few meters away after this dunk because of the Knicks' inside obstruction, but he got up from the ground without saying a word. Then he hurriedly signaled to the referee that someone from the Knicks had fouled.
Looking at this old guy who was as embarrassed as a beggar, everyone was silent, including the Knicks players, who couldn't help but feel an urge to applaud this old guy. And just after this one goal, the momentum of the Mavericks was completely aroused, and it soon became the point where everyone was afraid last time.
It's as if everyone is the villain of Bill Lanbill, and they want to get the Knicks players out of the way when they get fouls.
In this case. The Knicks were more cautious on offense, and that's what Cousins' offense is right now. He's going to have to dodge blocks from his opponents while attacking, while also avoiding their endless feints. …,
"Bang!"
Cousins had to dodge Chandler's big elbow a little in order to avoid their interference, and then the basketball deflected off the basket, and all of a sudden, the Mavericks' audience was full of jubilation.
Cousins was a little annoyed by his momentary evasion, but in that situation, everyone who didn't want to be hit by the opponent's elbow had to dodge that threat in the face of the endless rampaging elbows on the inside.
Facts have proved that those who are good at skills are still afraid of dying, and everyone on the Mavericks is now dying, and their defense has given the Knicks a great deterrent, and all the players of the Knicks have basically suffered the losses of the Mavericks, and many players have been physically assaulted. Therefore, in the face of the Mavericks' desperate defense, the Knicks' offense is also more of a hindrance.
They can't guarantee that they will suffer the opponent's flying elbow when they enter the interior, and whether they will be dragged down by the opponent when they go to the basket, so the Knicks' offense is more handed to the outside, but the shooting percentage of the outside line is always erratic, especially when a group of villains are staring at you.
Veteran Jason Kidd used his body to prop up a piece of the sky for the Mavericks, and under his influence, the Mavericks' defense even made the Knicks dare not cross the Thunder Pool One Step Cousins' shot missed, which allowed the Mavericks to grab the rebound, and then passed it to their teammates, and after the Mavericks made a quick cut, they turned the score gap into 6 points.
This is the only word that can be used to describe the momentum of the Mavericks right now, and even the spectators in the audience cheered, and soon the arena became a place where the Mavericks seemed to be celebrating in advance, including fans and players.
Compared to the Mavericks, the Knicks have actually sunk to the lowest point, and Tyberdu is watching the game, planning to call a timeout to smooth out the players' thoughts if the Knicks' momentum is still like this.
Of course, he still hopes that the players will be able to overcome this situation on their own.
Lowry possessed the ball past half court, but he was much slower this time because he saw that the situation was a game of the Mavericks' desperate charge, and they were going to fight all the blood in this game.
It's just that although Lori knows this, he can't overcome it, because he has just experienced a defense from the Mavericks, and Marion directly slapped Lori out of the bottom line with the ball, not to mention his teammates. Even Lori is now filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.
As if he had no chance of winning, Lori looked at the situation and was a little overwhelmed.
Lori sighed. It seems that the Mavericks' interior has completely shocked the Knicks players, and now everyone seems to have lost their blood, and can only attack from the outside, and even some players are still waiting for the end of the game and no longer suffer such torture.
But the outside swing alone can never win the ball, whether it is Kidd who was once in the Nets or the fall of the Wizards Three Musketeers, Lori is a little helpless when he thinks that his interior offense, including the breakthrough of the outside, is basically paralyzed by the Mavericks.
"Give me the balls, I'll kill them!"
The roar immediately woke up all the Knicks players who seemed to be sleepwalking, and they all saw the player who said it.
It's Li Feng!
Li Feng's words reminded them. The Knicks also have a fierce beast, so scared of a hairy calf!
Li Feng's position at this time is not good, just at 45 degrees, one and a half positions in the three-point line. …,
But it was Li Feng who caught the ball. The calf did not dare to be careless. As soon as Li Feng got the basketball from here, because if he wanted to hit Li Feng, he had to dribble when Li Feng was dribbling. If you flank early, it's too easy to expose the gap.
When Butler above the Mavericks was preparing to attack, he saw Li Feng suddenly turn around under Marion's defense, and the whole person was like a huge spinning top, breaking through directly towards the bottom line.
Li Feng broke through the bottom line like such a storm. Marion didn't react at all.
Li Feng came over with such a step, and the Mavericks' defensive system reached a critical point. If he didn't react, Li Feng was about to dunk.
In this way, all the players in this area close to the basket, "Hula" all hit Li Feng at once, and instantly concentrated a large number of defensive players in one area.
Li Feng didn't panic at all, but held it high, using his height to send the basketball to the head of all the calf players who pounced on him.
It was suddenly sent to the hands of Monroe, who stayed half a step inside the free throw line, and Monroe had been waiting for Li Feng here for a long time.
From the time Nowitzki left to chase Li Feng on his own, he was ready to shoot.
At this time, I saw Li Feng and sent the basketball out of the crowd.
Monroe reached for the ball and calmly made a mid-range jumper.
After scoring, the Knicks immediately returned to defense, knowing that the Mavericks have a backcourt engine like Kidd, and they are also very good at fast offense.
Looking at his team and rushing towards the Knicks' half again, Mavericks head coach Carlisle got up from his chair.
It was just an attacking time, for a manager like Carlisle. It can already be seen that a lot of things are coming, on the offensive end, Li Feng used his strategy and tandem ability to minimize the defensive threat of the Mavericks.
Carlisle was still pondering, the Mavericks were attacking, and Kidd asked for a Marion cover, and as soon as Marion came out, he brought Li Feng out.
The Knicks defended Kidd and Marion's pick-and-roll by squeezing through, because Marion didn't have too consistent mid-range shooting ability, but let it go for the time being.
In an instant, he formed an encirclement of Kidd, so that Lori was behind and Li Feng was in front, and suddenly formed a front and back attack on Kidd.
In fact, this form is also beneficial for Kidd, who is facing Li Feng, which is a misalignment of small fights and big ones.
At this point, Kidd suddenly accelerated, and the whole person rushed towards the Knicks' basket as if he was flying close to the ground.
Li Feng moved towards this side in advance, and as soon as Kidd and Li Feng made contact, their speed immediately slowed down. Losing speed, Kidd had no advantage in the face of Li Feng, and was pressed outside by Li Feng.
Kidd can only pull the ball sideways to the outside, and Lori can chase after Kidd as much as he wants.
This time, Kidd didn't pass Li Feng.
Suddenly, Kidd's heart was really full of frustration.
Kidd was depressed, he hadn't been in this situation. Pulling over, he immediately absentmindedly passed the basketball to Nowitzki's hands on the inside.
Nowitzki is like a dirt dog when he plays against a lot of insiders. It's a stage for Nowitzki to show off his all-round skills, but once he encounters a really tough insider, Nowitzki's soft style of play. It often restricts the development of the team.
Today Nowitzki and Monroe are facing each other, and the characteristics of both men are distinct. After Nowitzki got the basketball, instead of taking out his usual high-arc shot, he turned around and sat down on Monroe with his butt.
Nowitzki desperately squeezed the inside, Monroe naturally pushed Nowitzki desperately to the outside, and the two of them suddenly squeezed together in the low position on the right. …,
At this time, Li Feng hurriedly came over from one side to help defend Nowitzki, while Harden above the Knicks came down to carry Marion. The Knicks' defense rotated instantly, and Nowitzki suddenly fell into the double defense of Li Feng and Monroe.
He also panicked, Li Feng came over to wrap him, he didn't expect that the king of heaven immediately passed the ball. Person. At this point, he can only find Butler, and it is Lori who turns to defend Butler.
Lowry was a little lacking in height, and Butler wanted to shoot straight out for a three-pointer. But as soon as he raised his hand.
Li Feng, who was still on the inside, actually pounced directly near the three-point line, and suddenly arrived in front of Butler.
In this way, Butler will not be able to make a move. At this moment, the sound of 24 seconds rang out, and the Knicks actually used a quick rotation defense to defend the Mavericks for 24 seconds.
Among them, Li Feng blocked Kidd in a daze, then helped defend Nowitzki, and pounced to prevent Butler's three-point shot after the last shot.
This flurry of defensive moves. Li Feng is simply omnipresent, and the defensive calf is at a loss
Such a good defense. Even Carlisle, who was on the sidelines, sighed, why don't I have such a good player in my hands, if I can transform Marion into Li Feng, my team will be easy to play.
At this moment, the Knicks blinked to the Mavericks' half, Li Feng still received the ball with his back, and then slowly attacked the Mavericks' half with his back.
The Mavericks came to the area defense a little together, Li Feng immediately didn't look at the back pass, and Harden opened the backdoor to attack the basket successfully.
The Knicks scored in this way, Li Feng compressed slightly, and the Mavericks only had to make a pinch shot.
Li Feng is here, and he can immediately feed the basketball to his teammates' mouths and let his teammates score directly.
Li Feng played like this, it was really a sight to see the Mavericks head coach Carlisle, Li Feng's passes on the inside line were simply too well done, as if it was a precise scalpel, and a knife directly cut at the weakest point of the Mavericks' defense.
This offensive tactic is simply tailor-made to crack the Mavericks' defense.
Just aimed at the shortcomings of the Mavericks' defense, isn't the Mavericks' defense an active bag? The Knicks used Li Feng's point-to-the-point assist to crack it.
The Knicks have such a demonic organizational forward as Li Feng, and Carlisle is really a headache.
It's over when the little man goes up to the bag, but when he defends Li Feng, the bag basically doesn't have any effect, and this height allows him to get the basketball, and he can pass the basketball to any corner of the court, which is too surprising.
Carlisle was very distressed here, the old Kidd on the court took two consecutive cross-steps in front of Lori, and passed Lori, after passing Lori, Kidd dribbled in the Knicks' restricted area and cut directly to the Knicks' basket, and here Kidd, as a super point guard, keenly noticed that there was a gap on the right side.
After discovering this gap, Kidd relied on his strong body and threw himself directly into this gap.
Then Kidd twisted his waist in the air and dodged, just thinking of a lever attack.
But as soon as Kidd rushed in so desperately, he immediately suffered a heavy blow.
When Kidd threw himself over and flew to the basket, Li Feng slightly pressed Kidd under the basket.
Kidd immediately felt that his whole body was ten years older, and his body stiffened, and Kidd's time in the air was not much longer, and he suddenly shortened a large section.
In the air, Kidd completely lost the perversion of the old goblin, forced his right hand to pull the lever over, and threw the basketball towards the Knicks' basket, which was actually too small. Here comes a three-no-stick.
Kidd threw a basketball like this, which was kind of hilarious. …,
Li Feng turned around and reached out to catch the basketball that was thrown by the basketball.
Then immediately with a hard throw to the outside, the Knicks quickly pushed towards the Mavericks' halfcourt.
The ball had been transferred, but Kidd's head hadn't turned yet. The continuous encounters with Li Feng just now can be described as a nightmare for Kidd.
But as soon as Kidd ran over, he saw a scene that made his heart ache.
The Knicks give Harden offense. Harden came over to attack the Mavericks' position. The two Mavericks players went to kill Harden together, and Harden comfortably passed the basketball to Li Feng who followed up in the middle.
As soon as Li Feng got the basketball, the Mavericks were also two people together. But at this time, Li Feng threw the basketball briskly.
Directly to Cousins under the basket, Cousins singled out Butler under the basket, without any problems, and directly came up with a board-wiping jumper, which simply treated Butler as nothing.
Li Feng's appearance suddenly pierced the Mavericks' tenacious defense, the Knicks scored continuously, and the Mavericks' continuous offense failed. The momentum of the calf is slowly decaying.
At this point, Carlisle had no choice but to call a timeout.
The Maverick's most revolted counterattack was also easily resolved by Li Feng.
At this point, Carlisle needed to make a choice. Bet on Li Feng's ability.
Carlisle rearranged the defense. Let Marion defend Li Feng alone, and still play zone defense against the rest of the Knicks. Only Li Feng is not encircled and does not assist in defense. Take a one-on-one attack.
Carlisle came back to set up the defense, but the Knicks were very comfortable.
At the end of the timeout, Jason Kidd focused on tearing apart the Knicks' outside defense.
I saw that after Kidd got the basketball, under the cover of his teammates, he spared a circle in the Knicks' restricted area, and then turned his head and passed the basketball to Nowitzki outside. Nowitzki was in a big stride from the three-point line.
Nowitzki saw such an opportunity. Shooting directly at a mid-range, Nowitzki's mid-range shot is still very distinctive. The arc is so high that the average player can't touch it at all. Besides, now Monroe and Nowitzki are a big step apart.
Monroe could only watch Nowitzki make a move, and Nowitzki's anti-aircraft gun easily fell into the Knicks' basket.
The Mavericks are finally normal on the offensive end, and now Carlisle is looking at whether Marion can withstand Li Feng on the defensive end.
Marion can definitely block the offense of all interior players in the league, but defending Li Feng may not.
The Knicks came over this round, and the play changed slightly, and Lori, who didn't often take the initiative in the past.
After this round, all of a sudden Lori suddenly went berserk, and Kidd really felt a little unable to react.
Kidd made a slight mistake and let Lowry rush to the Mavericks' restricted area, rushing here, the Mavericks' interior line contracted, and Lowry's offense was immediately terminated. After all, Lori is not a superstar, and he can play several of them.
When he got here, Lori hurriedly looked for his teammates, turned around and made a hanging pass, and hoisted the basketball into Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng's position at this time was quite good, near the basket.
In the past, when this situation was encountered, the Mavericks' players would inevitably rush up to eliminate the opponent, but now the Mavericks have let Marion defend alone because of the arrangement.
There was no one to help Marion, so Li Feng was really comfortable.
Received the basketball, dribbled, jumped to the middle with a jump, and then got up directly and made a small left-handed throw.
The fight was extremely easy, Marion didn't even roar angrily, and Li Feng's attack was over.
Li Feng played so easily, Carlisle still had some hope for Marion. …,
But Nowitzki on the Mavericks' side hit another mid-range shot.
Li Feng turned back, but he still easily repaired Marion, Marion didn't actually bother Li Feng except for yelling when Li Feng was shooting.
With that, Carlisle was finally clear.
I still overestimate Marion's defensive level, so I'm afraid this situation will not last long.
After a few balls, the Knicks called a timeout, and when the Knicks returned to the court, the defense against Nowitzki changed.
Monroe pounced directly to defend, and didn't even let Nowitzki shoot two steps outside the three-point line, forcing Nowitzki to break through, and Li Feng blocked behind.
Nowitzki was forced to this situation, and he could only act according to the Knicks' plan, but when Nowitzki met Li Feng, his solid layup skills were completely useless. Because in terms of physical fitness, Nowitzki is really average.
The Knicks wiped out Nowitzki, who the Mavericks had just started fighting, and then immediately turned the gun when attacking.
The first point of attack was back in the hands of Lowry and Harden, and Li Feng responded in the middle and followed up the attack.
In this way, Li Feng is completely free, and Marion's one-man defense is not a pressure on Li Feng.
Li Feng wants to attack, he can attack, and if he wants to pass the ball, he can send the basketball to the most important place.
Carlisle used Marion to defend Li Feng alone, which is to reduce the gap in the team's rotation.
But Carlisle didn't know what to do, and Li Feng didn't need to know where the gap between the opposing team was. So Carlisle's trick was in vain.
Li Feng, Lowry, and Harden took turns to attack the Mavericks' basket, and the Mavericks' defense couldn't cover it at all, and there were Monroe's continuous cold arrows on the side.
This kind of attack, how can the Maverick withstand it, and as long as the Maverick uses the area defense slightly, Li Feng's scalpel-like pass will immediately poke the calf's wound, which is simply that the Maverick can't advance or retreat.
Seeing that the Knicks had completely mastered the initiative, the entire American Airlines Center was filled with boos.
Mavericks fans were anxious, because they knew that next, they were very likely to let the opponent win the cup on their home court, so they began to boo the Knicks and Li Feng.
"Li Feng, you bastard!"
"Li Feng, you demon!"
"Li Feng, you hillbilly!"
There is no most vicious, only more vicious, fans know that if there is no Li Feng, the Mavericks will definitely win this game, and it is Li Feng who shatters their illusions.
Looking at the excited Dallas fans, Li Feng smiled and smiled brightly.
There is more than 1 minute left in the game, the Knicks have decided the overall situation, Mavericks head coach Carlisle called a few timeouts in a row to no avail, during the pause, Li Feng walked in the center of the court, facing the Dallas fans in the court, his left hand to his neck, made a throat-cutting motion!
This action, which cut off all the fantasies of the calf, also angered the fans in Dallas, bread and Coke or something, all thrown towards the field.
There was chaos on the pitch. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. m
