Chapter 151: Superstar Potential
>Before the start of the second half, Li Feng and his teammates returned to the court.
Li Feng thought about the next game as he walked, and he had developed the habit of analyzing the game.
D'Antoni thought that the Trail Blazers would relax their defense against Li Feng, and Li Feng thought so, but after the game restarted, Li Feng found that the bag was indeed gone, but the Trail Blazers' defense was more ferocious.
When Li Feng was on the outside, it was Batum who was close to the defense, and when he entered the inside, it was Oden who defended, and Aldridge was far inferior to Li Feng in terms of body and speed.
Li Feng knew that the Trailblazers still did not relax their defense, but they did not retreat. Do you have to play according to the other person's ideas?
Li Feng just doesn't!
You don't let go of it!
But can you stop me?
With a horizontal heart, Li Feng dribbled the ball under his crotch with a dexterity and skill, and then made a sharp stop and turned around.
Perfect dance moves!
A white whirlwind appeared in Madison!
Bang!
Li Feng slashed to the basket from the bottom line, shook off Auden with an aerial feint, and then a gorgeous windmill!
It only took 3 seconds for the ball to go from passing Batum to dunking!
When Li Feng fell to the ground from the basketball hoop, the fans realized that a shocking goal had just occurred!
D'Antoni stared at Li Feng with a face full of relief and joy that could not be concealed!
The Trail Blazers did not relax their defense against Li Feng, much to D'Antoni's surprise, however, he did not remind Li Feng what to do!
At this time, Li Feng can choose to create opportunities for his teammates. You can also fight yourself!
Whatever you choose, as long as you can score a goal, it's a win!
But Li Feng's dunk has a momentum that destroys the world. It's a kind of righteousness, a fierce beast, unstoppable!
Even if the pioneers knew that Li Feng would only break through, they still couldn't stop Li Feng from scoring goals, this is the power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
At the beginning of the second half, Li Feng surprised all Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden.
Although Li Feng's passing in the first half had the style of Magic Johnson, which revitalized the entire Knicks, his dunk in the first half was still domineering. However, fans still have doubts, why would Li Feng rather pass the ball than attack?
Could it be that Li Feng is really as the media said, is the fierce beast no longer fierce? Tyrannosaurus rex starting to go vegetarian?
All of this disappeared without a trace after Li Feng's dunk, and Li Feng's performance has proven that even if you know what he is going to do. You still can't prevent it!
Thinking of this, the blood in the hearts of the fans boiled, passion emerged, and they all stood up. began to chant Li Feng's name.
It wasn't just D'Antoni and the fans who were shocked, but the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Mike McMillan, too. In the previous game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers, McMillan had seen Li Feng's strength. At that time, he had already looked up to Li Feng enough, but now he found that he still underestimated Li Feng!
It's like Olajuwon's dream dance moves, Ewing's turnaround jumper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook, Jordan's step-back jumper, O'Neal's shark dunk...... These attacks are all incomprehensible, even if you know what the other party will do, you still can't prevent it, this is the ability of a superstar!
And Li Feng also has such an ability!
There is no doubt that Li Feng already has the potential to be a superstar in McMillan's eyes!
However, the game was not one-sided, on the Trail Blazers' side, Brandon Roy, who scored a game-high 21 points in the first half, changed his role as a scorer in the first half and began to organize the team's offense. And the Blazers changed their tactics when they couldn't prevent Li Feng. As long as Li Feng gets the ball, there are at least two players around him to defend. …,
This limited Li Feng's breakthrough to a certain extent, but with Li Feng's excellent ball protection ability, it was difficult for them to interrupt the ball from Li Feng's hand.
One of the Knicks' most dangerous offensive players has been restricted, and the team's overall offense has certainly been affected.
In this way, the Trail Blazers will be able to play their offense better.
In the latter five minutes of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers launched a series of ferocious offenses, starting with core Brandon Roy. He took advantage of Batum's insertion to cover, and after a successful air cut, he scored directly to the basket.
Then, Andre Miller used his personal ability to force Chris Dujon, passed the ball after being trapped, and Batum hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner!
Seeing that the team's defense was in a hurry, D'Antoni's face was full of anxiety.
The score gap was suddenly narrowed to 5 points, and the advantage of the Knicks was gone, and just as he was about to call a timeout, there was a sudden change on the court!
The Trail Blazers stepped up their offense, and the players played with passion, but at this time Aldridge made a mistake, and he accidentally caught the ball to give the Knicks a chance to counterattack.
Li Feng naturally wouldn't let it go, he directly copied the basketball and passed it to Eddie Cory, who was pulled to the three-point line, who received the ball and distributed it directly to the left side!
Another pass, Li Feng in the back received the basketball, and the Trailblazer's Batum and Miller directly hit it!
In the face of the pinch, Li Feng wanted to make a strong breakthrough, but in fact, he used an extremely hidden action to pass the ball to the middle!
"Nice pass! At this time, James Harden is already unguarded! ”
After receiving Li Feng's pass, Harden dribbled forward at high speed!
James Harden was the team's main attacker in the first few games, with a lot of shots, but not very efficient, after all, he was the opponent's key defense, although he was underrated in the Thunder, but he never had much NBA experience, and he did not have the super performance of Namanu in the playoffs in later years.
With the arrival of Li Feng, Harden's number of shots decreased sharply, but his lethality was strengthened, Li Feng restrained the opponent's defense, and Harden's cutting ability to score was perfectly reflected.
Seeing that Harden was about to cross the free throw line, Roy had to leave Thornton and run outside the box!
Oden, who was in place, quickly made up for Thornton, and the rotation position in this defensive fast break was not bad. However, due to the local numerical disadvantage of the pioneers, they still have a lot of loopholes!
After a few more steps, Harden got the ball on the right side of the box before Roy could block it!
Yes!
Due to Oden's supplemental defense of Thornton, Duhon, who was inserted into the penalty area on the right side, was undefended at this time!
"Beautiful pass! Harden showed off his untold passing talent! ”
Harden passed the ball well and gave plenty of advance. But he didn't give Oden a chance to go back!
In the face of such a comfortable pass, Du Hong didn't bother to adjust, and jumped lightly, glided, and dunked with both hands, giving people a natural feeling!
Almost at the same time, there was a tsunami of cheers on Madison!
D'Antoni on the sidelines was also excited, although Li Feng's hot form made him very satisfied. But as a coach, he naturally still hopes that the team can develop in a balanced manner, and more flowering is what he wants to see.
Du Hong's goal obviously reminded the opponent that the Knicks are not the only ones who attack, Li Feng!
It was Dujon who scored the goal. But the credit should go to Harden!
Before Li Feng's return, this scout was once the new favorite of Knicks fans, but Li Feng didn't need to play to take away his status, although the training saw Li Feng's strength, but Harden is a man. Naturally, there is a little emotion.
Now showing his all-around skills when the team is at a disadvantage, Harden naturally wants to be recognized by the fans! …,
Knicks fans didn't skimp on their cheers and applause, and for them, as long as the Knicks players could bring victory to the team. They will go out of their way to support it!
Li Feng and other teammates also gathered around and participated in the celebration.
Li Feng is very clear. Most of the Knicks' goals this season are directly or indirectly related to themselves.
This is not a good thing. Because it means that other teams can stop a large part of the Knicks' firepower as long as they can watch him!
This made Li Feng the target of public criticism. He is likely to be the focus of the opposition in every game, and this is when other team-mates must step up and open the door to victory for the team.
Only then can the Knicks be a truly feared team.
The Knicks regained the initiative in the game, and in the last five minutes of the game, the Knicks still maintained a 7-point advantage, and McMillan replaced the bench!
The Trail Blazers asked for a substitution, and young Travis Otero came on...... Aldridge! Now, their inner line has been weakened again! It looks like McMillan is ready to take a gamble! ”
Otero will be against Li Feng, and his speed will be something the Trail Blazers will need to take advantage of next.
D'Antoni made no adjustments and with almost five minutes remaining, he didn't want to let the tragedy of his last game repeat again.
He hopes that the team can strive to increase the score, and if it can be increased to double digits, it will definitely be able to destroy the opponent's will!
After the game restarted, the home fans could clearly feel the change in the Trail Blazers!
Indeed, McMillan, who was forced to be anxious just now, gave the most reckless instructions: desperate, crazy attack!
Most of the Trail Blazers themselves are young players, and they don't have too many physical problems, so they simply play all offense and defense!
This tactic is certainly very risky, but with the score behind, they have no other choice!
The sudden power of the opponent made the Knicks very uncomfortable, and for a while, the game seemed to turn into meat. Fighting...... The Trail Blazers pressed the Knicks' offense, and the Knicks often had to find holes for the Trail Blazers by moving the ball widely.
Blind clearance is naturally not as good as a real long-pass offense, so the Knicks' Thornton and Corey's passes are not good.
The Knicks' defense itself isn't that solid, and the Trail Blazers have a whole bunch of offensive players.
Brandon Roy also showed the potential of a superstar at this time, scoring consecutive breakaways.
When the Knicks focused on defending Roy, Roy suddenly sent a scalpel-like through ball to the left rib of the penalty area after breaking through to Thornton!
Batum got rid of Harden and plugged in at high speed!
The French young man passed the ball behind in the air, the basketball was distributed to Oden, Oden under the basket dunked angrily with one arm, and after the dunk, he looked up to the sky and roared, and the depression in Zhuangyuanxiu's heart was too much! (To be continued......)
