In the second half, the Knicks attacked first, and looking at the lineups of both sides, Barkley said:

In this game, it seems that the Knicks are going to let Li Feng resolutely attack, replacing a meat shield Diop and Kirilenko, and Cousins and Monroe are on the bench. In this way, the only trustworthy offensive point on the field that can attack with the ball is Li Feng. However, if the Pacers are trapped, they will have to find a way to guard against the outside three-pointers. ”

Belinelli took the half court, Li Feng pulled out the three-point line to receive the ball, then took the ball on the outside and stopped, raised it with one hand, turned his head to observe the situation, and saw that the four teammates were all pulling away, and he began to play Jones with his back to him.

George played almost the full first half, so Jones generally got more playing time, and his defensive experience was experienced, rarely out of position, and he was able to hit three-pointers without stealing the ball, which was a good fit for the Pacers. Li Feng began to dribble with his back to squeeze in outside the three-point line, and then turned around and took the ball to break through on the right side.

The Pacers used a joint defense, two interior players were on the baseline, and the outside Hill and Granger were two inside players who prevented the Knicks from pulling out the inside players, Li Feng analyzed the situation and passed the ball to Belinelli in the bottom corner.

West hurried to block the shot, Li Feng rushed under the basket to squeeze Jones deep into the position, Belinelli was experienced in the game, and immediately understood his intentions and hoisted the ball into the interior again. Li Feng relied on the strength of the ball to catch the ball, then turned and crashed away from Jones, facing the basket.

Hibbert arrived at the basket in time to make up for the defense, Li Feng jumped up and used a hook hand to distribute the ball to the other side of the bottom corner, and Harden got the empty space again and aimed at the three-point shot!

Li Feng is now very good at shooting, breaking through, and sharing the ball. If Li Feng is a person who likes to make strong shots with a bag, the opponent will be happy, but unfortunately he is not.

The Pacers offense, still playing to the inside, Hibbert ate Diop, and he squeezed two steps after receiving the ball. When turning, Dioprah was fouled.

The team sent a throw-in and passed it to Hibbert, this time Hibbert turned around, Diop hit his hand firmly, and slapped the ball away, Hibbert jumped up without the ball in his hand, the action was exaggerated, and the referee also awarded a penalty.

Hibbert made 4 of 8 free throws in the first half and had a terrible performance. This time two free throws were missed, and Diop won the rebound in the backcourt.

This season, Hibbert's free-throw shooting rate is only about 50%, which is a tough injury.

The Knicks attacked, and the ball was handed over to Li Feng again, and it was still the same way of playing, he first passed to the baseline Belinelli, and then to the deep position of the inside, and Belinelli did not shoot. Dangling sideways to make a little space, he passed the ball to Li Feng.

Jones defended in the low post, West didn't dare to let go of Belinelli to wrap up, and Hibbert was worried that Harden would make another three-pointer. I didn't make up for it.

Li Feng expected that the opponent would not easily get into the bag, leaned on Jones and arched two steps to the inside, turned to the middle and threw the ball with his right hand!

In addition to the technical and tactical aspects of a strong team, the momentum of the game is also very important. The Knicks are an amazing team. Even if the opponent leads by more than 10 points, they can score a goal that can make the opposing fans feel scared, as if the gap will be erased in an instant.

Now the score is just tied. Many Pacers fans in front of the TV are not optimistic about the Pacers they support.

Barkley felt the same way, saying:

"The Pacers' joint defense has been broken, there will be loopholes in the package or not, Jones is not Li Feng's opponent."

Kenny Smith said:

"I think the Pacers should make some adjustments, such as putting Hibbert to defend Li Feng."

Barkley laughed:

"Then you have to let Hiberta go to the periphery, give up the defense of the low post, it is not possible to change the defense, as long as the change is slow, Li Feng will jump directly. If the Pacers still want to win, I think they should be more efficient offensively. ”

The game continued, and the winning scales began to tilt in favor of the Knicks.

The Pacers attacked, and Granger was entangled by Li Feng, took the ball through the screen, and faced Kirilenko.

Kirilenko's defense is undoubted, he has just come on the field with a lot of energy, and Granger has no chance to play too well.

Granger passed the ball out, Hill broke through with Hibbert's cover, Diop was slow to change defenses, but he was quick to start and pull people for a foul.

Three fouls in the first two minutes of play, Barkley looked happy. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for the Knicks, whose free throw stats are far inferior to those of the Knicks.

The throw-in was issued, and the Pacers had already anticipated the Knicks' intentions.

He didn't dare to easily pass the ball to the low post and let Hibbert attack, but Hiberta went to the high post to block and dismantle the cooperation.

With Hibbert this way, the Knicks will be easier to play.

This time, Diop changed the defense in time, and Hill was a little rushed to throw after getting rid of it, and the ball was deflected.

However, the rebound was picked up by West, and the second offense was successful.

Kirilenko couldn't do it, he didn't protect the rebounds well enough, and shook his head.

Li Feng slapped AK47 on the back and said loudly:

"Don't care, pay attention in the next round, the offense is pulled away."

"Hmm."

The Knicks formation opened up again, as Kenny Smith expected, this time it became Hibbert's main defense Li Feng, in the Pacers, only Hibbert is not inferior to Li Feng in all aspects of physical fitness, but there is one point that Li Feng is much stronger, that is, skills.

Li Feng looked at Hibbert at the top of the arc with the ball and moved slowly...... No one came up to cover, everyone was full of confidence in him, Li Feng didn't plan to pass the ball, and now there was no one-on-one person he didn't dare to attack. His left shoulder shook slightly.

The crotch dribble was handed over to the right hand to break into the three-point line, and then the back dribble changed direction for the second time to break through from the left side, this action can often shake the player who moves slowly laterally, and Hibbert's lateral movement speed is not slow, blocking Li Feng's breakthrough route.

At this time, Li Feng played an attack that Hibbert will never forget, and he stepped on the free throw line. Turning to the right side again, the spin was very fast, Hibbert couldn't keep up, and there was no ball in his hand, while Hibbert moved horizontally, Li Feng picked up the ball with his left backhand and jumped over Hibbert's head.

His feints were just trying to lure Hibbert sideways, and this flirtation was the key.

Li Feng "split the ball" and shook off Hibbert, and at this time everyone else pulled away, and there was a big gap in the middle. Li Feng turned around and jumped up one step later, received the basketball that bounced back from the board, and scored the ball with one hand!

The score became 58-58.

After landing on the ground, Li Feng looked up to the sky and roared, this is not as simple as an equalizing goal, it is very morale-boosting.

Watch the replay on the big screen in the stadium. Barkley shouted:

"It is estimated that many viewers can't see what this ball is going on, Hibbert was stunned, and when he turned around, he could only watch Li Feng score, and the first confrontation between the two turned out to be such a scene."

Kenny Smith said:

'I think it's a combination of skill and violence. Li Feng played the Pacers correctly. He's crazy, and he's bold! ”

The Pacers attacked, and Granger dodged Li Feng by covering and hit a pullup jump shot to regain the lead.

The Knicks' momentum has risen. Li Feng receives the ball on the perimeter and faces Hibbert.

Don't wait for the opponent to come up and press. played tricks, turned around twice in a row and dribbled under the crotch, like hip-hop, beautiful.

Such moves are not used to pass people, but to disrupt the opponent's mentality. When the opponent is impatient, it is easier to be broken.

While Li Feng was dribbling the ball, he was looking for Hibbert's flaws, and when he brought it to his fastest and most comfortable step, he started. Hibbert still didn't move, he looked determined to prevent a breakthrough.

Li Feng quickly lowered his body, dribbled the ball under his left crotch to his right hand, and dribbled a step into the three-point line. Hibbert quickly stepped back to follow the defense, Li Feng took the ball, jumped backwards out of the three-point line, and stepped back to shoot. He shot very fast, and Hibbert moved fast, but the ball was already in the shot when he jumped. Hibbert was also unable to seal.

This is the time difference, grasp the rhythm to throw the ball, all by feel, this three-point hollow net on the right side of the middle.

After scoring a high score in the last game, Li Feng became more and more confident on the offensive end, and as long as he was free, he would not be blocked, and he would dare to shoot. The Knicks finally put the score on the score.

Hibbert sighed from his heart, whether it is a low post or a high position, whether it is facing a guard or a center, Li Feng has a way to find space to shoot, how to defend it?

If Hibbert is asked to say that the player in the league who doesn't want to play against him the most, it must be Li Feng, whose scoring ability and offensive means have surpassed Kobe Bryant, reaching the point of helplessness.

The Pacers attacked, the ball was given to Hibbert to attack in the low post, and Diop was fouled again.

The fourth foul he committed, but he made four times not long after he played, and the speed was amazing.

Tyberdu replaced cannon fodder Diop with Monroe, and his mission was done.

Hibbert hit two free throws, the Knicks attacked, Li Feng went to the periphery to get the ball, the Pacers were still Hibbert's defense, Li Feng chose to break through from the right side this time, and the center of gravity dropped very low.

He has the ball in one hand and the other hand on the ground, almost on all fours, and needs to have a very good sense of balance to do so.

Hibbert lowered his body, his speed was at a disadvantage, and he did not block the breakthrough route, so he could only follow Li Feng from the side until he reached the low position.

Li Feng took the ball and turned to the middle, with his left foot as the axis, and his right knee slightly bent "Golden Rooster Independence".

Hibbert and Li Feng were already a little slower to turn around, and hurriedly jumped up to block it, but Li Feng stood in place waiting for him to jump, and crashed head-on. Hibbert was in a hurry, put his hands together, pressed Li Feng down, and the referee blew the whistle!

One of the drawbacks of Hibbert's defense is that the movement is too big, and it is very dirty, which is very damaging to the opponent.

This ball is also very dangerous, Hibbert has an obvious downward pressure action, he and Li Feng fell to the ground together, but he used Li Feng as a "cushion" If he has O'Neal's weight, Li Feng will be seriously injured in this ball.

Knicks fans booed Hibbert, and the referee gave Hibbert a foul and the Knicks made two free throws.

After Li Feng got up, he carefully checked his body, and there was no injury. He didn't say anything about Hibbert's foul, and he couldn't prevent the opponent from getting excited.

Li Feng prefers to hit back with goals, and he hit both free throws to push the score out.

The Pacers attack.

The Knicks switched to Kirilenko to defend Hibbert, and Monroe went to defend West, with the goal simple of fouling Hibbert whenever he was strong.

Hill of the Pacers broke through through and returned the ball to Hibbert in an attempt to let him single Belinelli.

Belinelli also chose to foul, although Hibbert did not shoot, but the Knicks fouled 5 times in a single quarter, Hibbert went to the free throw line again, did not disappoint the Knicks, missed both free throws, and Monroe took the backcourt rebound.

The Knicks suddenly went foul and the Pacers were in trouble.

Kirilenko is the same as Diop. You can't defend Hibbert with normal methods, and it's okay to foul directly.

For the rest of the day, the Pacers' offense became choppy.

Against Hibbert, the Knicks used shark slashing tactics, forcing the Pacers to attack from the outside, passing the ball to Hibbert to attack and immediately sending it to the free throw line.

Hibbert's performance at the free-throw line was terrible. Hit only two of his six free throws. The Pacers can't replace him yet, otherwise the interior defense will be weaker.

Li Feng, who also broke into the inside to attack, played the third quarter and made 6 free throws, all of which were hit. He also hit a number of jumpers.

Li Feng's hand improved, and he continued to score 17 points in the third quarter, leading the team to a 6-point lead at 81-75 and a net win of 11 points in a single quarter.

The Pacers were under pressure, and Hibbert was starting to fear free throws. In the third quarter alone, he made 12 free throws and hit just five.

"Black Yaoming" is averaging 12.8 free throws per game this season, the most of any player in the league, and it will improve after this game. Poor free throws led straight to fouls that other centers in the league would have no hesitation about when defending Hibbert.

Hibbert once dumb fire. The Pacers can only rely on the outside, and West's resistance to Monroe on the outside doesn't do much.

Granger on the perimeter was even more difficult under Li Feng's defense, shooting 1-of-10 from the field in the first three quarters. Was beaten back to the prototype.

In the fourth quarter, the Pacers strengthened their grip on Li Feng, and Li Feng, who had been the main attacker, also began to pass, and Tyberdu replaced Cousins. He and Monroe scored inside many times, catching the Pacers off guard.

The Knicks went on a 10-2 scoring shockwave to stretch the margin to more than 10 points. The Pacers are on the way.

Barkley commented on the game after the game, and put forward several advantages of the Knicks, one is the super scorer, and the other is the scramble for rebounds.

Cousins, Monroe, Li Feng, and Ibaka are very good at rebounding, and the Pacers are only good at grabbing rebounds, and Hansbru is not bad, but it's a pity that he is too short.

The two also have star interior lines, and the Knicks players shoot better, and the Pacers can't contain Li Feng at all.

Li Feng had 51 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and won super statistics, which made fans crazy, especially those fanatical data lovers who didn't care about victory or defeat, and became his die-hard fans. The Knicks scored in double figures, Cousins didn't play much, 14 points and 5 rebounds, Monroe had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, and Harden had 15 points. Hibbert, the core of the Pacers' interior line, had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, but shot less than half of his free throw on 9-of-20 free throws.

Danny Granger was even worse, shooting 3-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with just eight points, four rebounds and five assists.

Point guard George Hill had 23 points and 8 assists, the best performance of the team, but he had no choice but to shoot in the critical fourth quarter. In the playoffs 50+, Jordan had 8 times, followed by Chamberlain's 4 and Iverson 3 times.

Li Feng has already done 6 times last year, and only needs two more times to surpass Michael Jordan.

Without Kobe Bryant on this list, he is too unlucky. In Li Feng's previous life, Kobe Bryant also scored 13 40+ times after the 2012 season. Ranked 4th all-time, but now only 6 times. Kobe Bryant's scoring ability has not declined, and he has won one more regular season scoring title, and he has become an opponent.

In Li Feng's previous life, since 2006, 7 of Kobe's 9 playoff scoring 40+ times were obtained from the most typical offensive and non-defensive teams in the past six years, the Suns and Nuggets.

Three playoff games against the Suns in 2006, 2007 and 2010, and four playoff games against the Nuggets in 2008, 2009, 2009 and 2012. During this period, the Nuggets' defense was far worse than that of the Suns, conceding a terrifying number of points per game, the second worst defense in the league, and the offense and defense were weak to the point of outrageous!

It's a pity that the Lakers haven't met them now, and they don't have Kobe's glorious record of surpassing the "Big Shark" in the playoffs and approaching Chamberlain. And the Lakers have been out of the playoffs very happily in recent years, which makes Kobe's data even less convincing. ...... "In an important game like this, you focus your firepower on one player, do you think that tactic can last?" ”

At the post-match press conference, a reporter stood up and asked questions. Tyberdu glanced at the reporter with some disdain,

"Why not, as long as that player is fierce enough." "However, why aren't you afraid that the Pacers will use the "Jordan Rule" against Li Feng? "Do you think other people are standing and watching Li Feng play singles?"

The reporter pointed at Li Feng again.

"Congratulations on cutting another 50+, do you think your performance today is too good or the opponent's performance is not good enough?"

'We found the right way, we caught their weaknesses, they adjusted, but it didn't work well enough, and that's the key to our win and that's why I'm doing well.'

"So what do you think of Roy Hibbert being selected as an All-Star?"

"He deserves to be an underrated player, tenacious, steady and iron-blooded, I admire him and it's good to play with him!"

……

While the New York Knicks won two straight games at home, the other two teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals were tied, and the Nets were beaten by the Bulls in the first home game and won hard-fought in the second.

In the West, the Spurs lead the Lakers 2-0, and the Thunder and Warriors 1-1.

In the third game, it will move to Indiana, and the Knicks will visit the Consec Arena, and then it will be another battle of dragons.
