The victory over the 76ers brought the Knicks to new heights, but their schedule continued, and the next opponent was even more unbearable, which was the brush team Minnesota Timberwolves.

After the players came out, Li Feng shook hands with Lefu and said lightly:

"Kevin, don't be yourself in the Timberwolves, while you can still play. Don't renew this contract after it expires, go to the Knicks to find me, the others don't dare to guarantee, the water cooler guardian can leave it for you, if you want to brush the data, then there is no way. ”

Lefu smiled bitterly:

"Do you think you can hit me, I can lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs in three years."

Li Feng smiled:

"I hope I heard me right, I think three hundred years is about the same."

Whether it's honest or provocative, both know that the Timberwolves have little chance of winning.

TNT Live, Barkley said:

"The Knicks don't have a fixed starting lineup now, there is no more alternative team than them, and the Knicks have four forwards in this game, and Li Feng is likely to be misplaced in the first and second positions."

Kenny Smith said:

"The Timberwolves are very difficult to play this game, and Li Feng playing guard is obviously out of place, let's see how they defend."

The two sides started the game, with Knicks Harden replaced by Kirilenko.

The Timberwolves' lineup is: Milicic, Love, Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson and Ricky Rubio.

At the start of the game, Milicic jumped the ball to outrun Cousins, the Timberwolves attacked first, and Rubio went to the front court to pass the ball to Love.

Monroe defended the out, today's Knicks' defensive tactics are man-marking, and when he encounters a block, he will change the defense, he has to keep fighting with Lefu physically, and close interference does not allow him to turn around easily, which can reduce Lefou's efficiency.

This season Lefou's form is indeed not as good as before. He also began to get confused. I feel that I may not be able to make the playoffs in my lifetime with the Timberwolves.

Lefu carried his back twice. Turning around and walking to the left, Monroe kept up closely, and at 45 degrees, Lefu was pushed two steps away from the penalty area by Monroe. He didn't pass the ball, turned and jumped and shot the ball in.

Monroe had a hard time blocking shots and could only interfere, and today Lefou's hand was very good. But he's about to be unlucky, the Knicks arranged for Li Feng to attack today, and he attacked him after blocking and dismantling.

The Knicks attacked, Monroe covered outside the three-point line, Li Feng ran without the ball and shook off Beasley, and Kirilenko handed the ball to him.

Milicic switched defenses, and Cousins pulled to the perimeter for a second cover.

Milicic has a good pick-and-roll defense, and he moves sideways quickly, while Lefu is worse, but Cousins blocks and pick-and-rolls. He can only change the defense, and if he slows down, Li Feng will directly pull out the jump shot.

Lefu didn't dare to get too close. The main defense breaks through and interferes with the shot. Li Feng dribbled the ball to the left low post in order to distance himself from Cousins and make it impossible for the other Timberwolves players to step forward easily.

Lefu followed to the low post on the side, and Li Feng protected the ball with his back so that Lefu could not steal, and could only defend.

Li Feng shook his right shoulder lightly, made a feint of turning around on the bottom line, and then turned in the opposite direction and threw a backward jumper, just at 45 degrees, this move was difficult to block, and he leaned back and Lefu to open the distance, and hit the cricket ball to score!

If Li Feng kept playing like this, Lefu couldn't prevent it, and he knew that Li Feng was just a temptation, and if it was very easy, he would keep fighting, and he suddenly had a lot of pressure.

The Timberwolves attacked, kept moving the ball, Johnson relied on Milicic to cover and burst inside, wanted to dunk with one hand, but dunked under the interference of Cousins, and the rebound was picked up by Li Feng.

The Knicks are still the tactics just now, Li Feng took the ball and relied on double cover and Lefu to align, this time Li Feng suddenly changed direction to pull the ball up when he brought it to the right low post, turned around to the middle and threw away Lefou, and jumped up in the middle to avoid the block, and scored a basketball with a low hand.

At the beginning, Li Feng showed a strong desire to attack, and his teammates resolutely handed the ball to him, and 4 minutes later, Timberwolves head coach Adelman frowned into a "Chuan" word and shouted at the court to help defend. The Timberwolves' offense was okay, but they couldn't prevent it, and Li Feng misplaced the offense and shot 5 of 7.

As soon as other players help to defend, Li Feng will pass the ball, and Monroe is still the biggest beneficiary, as long as the defender is misplaced and defensive, he dares to shoot, and the vacant position is not polite.

The Timberwolves also have problems with offense, Rubio is dexterous enough, but lacks absolute speed, Li Feng can keep up with him, and after covering, Kirilenko changed defenses, which also gave Rubio a headache, one of the Timberwolves duo was in trouble, the offense had no chance and could only pass, and the offensive efficiency of Beasley and Johnson was not too high.

After playing 7 minutes, Adelman asked for a timeout, the Knicks always have a way to create space for Li Feng to play alone, and the defense is better than the Timberwolves, Li Feng is relatively low-key this season, which does not mean that his strength is reduced, and his offense is more difficult to defend than last season.

"If you don't wrap Li Feng, he may score more than 50 points in this game, and if you trap him, Monroe, Kirilenko, and Cousins can all throw the ball in."

Adelman has been thinking in his heart, so he can only speed up the rotation and change positions, play 32 joint defense, and let the players help defend.

It's a pity that Kirilenko is always active on the bottom line, too far away from Li Feng, otherwise he can be empty.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves' defensive strategy still didn't work.

The Knicks made another substitution, with Smith coming on for Kirilenko and adding a strong scoring point, while Belineri replaced Rose.

All five of the Knicks are good at shooting, and the Timberwolves can't wrap it up.

The Knicks played the Princeton offense in front of Adelman, sharing the ball to the weak points of the defense, playing Rubio on the outside and Love on the inside.

The Timberwolves attacked, but Milicic was often let go, and the Knicks could use the bag on Love and Rubio, making the two very uncomfortable.

The first quarter ended with the Knicks leading 34-22.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves replaced Barria and Redno with two backcourt shots to strengthen the offense.

The Knicks are also two fast guards, with Smith and Rose partnered. There are similarities between the bench lineups, with Cousins and Pekovic both being strong insiders.

The two sides played hard off the bench, Barria played the strength of the microwave, hitting two three-pointers, and Smith and Rose quickly returned the favor.

Barkley believes that the difference between the two sides is relatively small for pure bench players, but the Knicks have the advantage of starters. A Timberwolves bench tie is a loss.

This prediction was soon confirmed. Li Feng and Kirilenko came on the pitch as soon as they played. The score was opened.

Against the Knicks, the Timberwolves obviously suffered from the outside, and as soon as Li Feng and Smith played, they didn't dare to send two guards. Otherwise, you can't prevent it.

The Knicks took a big lead in the first half, and soon the game went to the third quarter.

The Timberwolves attacked, Love took the ball on the right side, and Monroe followed. Milicic drew the Cousins defence on the left, Beasley went to the low post to ask for the ball, and Love passed the ball in.

Against Kirilenko, Beasley played very resolutely, which was also arranged by Timberwolves coach Adelman, who dribbled two steps with his back, turned to the middle, and threw his right hand with one hand, which was very high.

Beasley relied on this trick in the low position, and he used it very skillfully. Steady progress.

The Knicks attacked, and Monroe pulled up to the high post. Cousins was on the outside, Li Feng went to the right side to receive the ball, and Johnson was defending behind him.

Everyone in the Knicks has the ability to score, which makes it inconvenient for the Timberwolves to use joint defense, and Li Feng singles Johnson to squeeze inside.

Johnson has a strong force, but he is still far behind Li Feng.

Li Feng hit his back inward, with a lot of force, while he hit, he was also testing the referee's scale, if the referee didn't care, he could hit harder next.

He hit the baseline a few times in a row, took a step to the baseline first, made a feint with a slight shake of his left shoulder, and then turned to the right side and threw a backward jumper.

After turning around, Li Feng reached a 45-degree angle, turned around and threw a jumper, Johnson couldn't even blindfold him, and hit the board.

On the commentary bench, Charles Barkley said:

"Today, Li Feng continued to attack, the Knicks arranged him as the core, the Timberwolves are in trouble, whether it is Beasley Lefour or Johnson to defend Li Feng, if he is allowed to shoot like this, the score will definitely be very high."

Kenny Smith went on to say:

"Li Feng has been very popular recently, and scoring more than 50 can only be regarded as normal."

The Timberwolves attacked, passed to Love first, Beasley was in the position inside, Rubio ran to the other side, Milicic covered without the ball, blocked Li Feng, and helped Rubio get rid of it.

Cousins hurriedly changed the defense, Li Feng went to the basket, and he was more intimidating than Cousins in the low post, because Lefu did not pass Rubio, and relied on Monroe to suddenly hold the ball and walked in the middle, dribbling with a big step with his left foot, raising his right knee, and throwing his hand backwards sharply.

Monroe rushed forward to block it, and subconsciously stopped in front of Lefou's legs, so of course it couldn't be covered, and Lefu threw the ball in.

The Knicks attacked, the Timberwolves changed the defense, Beasley defended Li Feng, and the task of interfering with Cousins' shooting on the periphery was given to Johnson, and the Timberwolves would rather let Cousins have an advantage in singles than relax their defense against Li Feng.

Johnson couldn't guard against Li Feng, and it was clear at a glance.

As soon as Beasley came up, Li Feng was not in a hurry to receive the ball, Monroe also pulled to the periphery, blocked Beasley without ball cover, Li Feng rushed into the inside, and Milicic changed defenses.

Li Feng asked for the ball in the low post, Rose passed to Cousins first, and ran to the baseline himself, involving Rubio's defense, and Cousins hoisted the ball into the low post.

Li Feng received the ball on the left side and turned around in the middle, Milicic moved slightly, Li Feng immediately took the ball and took a step back to pause, his left hand was raised lightly, he didn't take the ball at all, he just made a shooting action, Milicic took a big step forward, raised one arm to interfere, he didn't jump immediately, and he improved a few years ago.

But at this step, Li Feng can also seize the opportunity, he dribbled the ball under his right crotch and handed it to his left hand, accelerated to break through from the bottom line, took the ball and jumped into the basket while running, Milicic was already one of the fastest interior players, and he was completely shaken, and when he turned around, Li Feng had already jumped under the basket.

Lefu let go of Monroe's defense, this ball Monroe is too far away, Milicic can make up for the defense if he passes the ball, Li Feng didn't pass, he didn't think of so much, but felt that Lefou's defense couldn't help himself, he withdrew his hand in the front, shrunk his body, jumped past Lefou, went to the other side of the basket on the lever to make a rebound, wiped the ball in!

"Beautiful!"

Charles Buckley exclaimed:

"Li Feng told everyone that one-on-one can't prevent him."

Kenny Smith said:

"Li Feng plays guard, Cousins and Monroe withdraw inside, this set of tactics is really strong, the Knicks have no one on the court who can completely empty the line, and Kirilenko and Rose can also shoot...... Rubio and Li Feng are in opposite positions. ”

Li Feng on the periphery is eyeing Rubio, and every young defender who meets Li Feng wants to try to see if he can break through successfully, in people's impressions. Li Feng has always been a big forward image. At least it's also the No. 3 and No. 4 swing people. If you can't break through, you feel very shameless, and such attempts are often uncomfortable, Rubio made two feints and crashed into Li Feng. Didn't pass.

He covered the basketball with his back and passed it to Johnson, who in turn passed it to Love.

Lefu held the ball and changed direction to break through, and made a one-step stop-and-go jump shot. He was accurate in all positions, he dared to shoot when he had the opportunity, which was his characteristic, Monroe didn't cover it, but the ball was a little bit off and bounced out of the frame.

Cousins stuck in position and grabbed the backcourt rebound, Milicic was not strong in rebounding, and the Timberwolves were behind the Knicks the most in rebounding.

Cousins passed to Kirilenko, who was closest to him, and Kirilenko saw the Timberwolves come back quickly. Gave up the fast attack and handed it to Rose, who came back to pick it up. Fight positional warfare.

Li Feng ran to the top of the arc to cover Rose, and Beasley had to let go of Li Feng to change defense Rose after the misplacement, Rose's emergency stop jump shot was very accurate, and the Timberwolves did not dare to take risks.

Rubio faced Li Feng, he chose to go around the front defense, so that Rose could not easily pass the ball back to Li Feng, Beasley followed closely, Rose passed the ball to Kirilenko, who in turn passed to Cousins, Cousins relied on the height advantage to single Johnson, and the jump shot was also missed......

In the next time, Rubio also began to attack, as long as he relied on blocking and dismantling to get rid of Li Feng, the Knicks were not easy to defend him inside.

Rubio singled Monroe, burst to the basket, scored a goal, and caused a foul on Monroe.

Beasley also scored two more goals in the low post, and Kirilenko couldn't defend Beasley's move to turn and throw in the low post.

Love started the second half with a mediocre feel, only hitting 1 of 4 shots, and his offense was also very resolute, holding the ball to face Monroe alone, the shooting rate was not high, but it caused Monroe's foul and hit both free throws. The Timberwolves limited the Knicks' offense with pick-and-rolls and constant rotations, and they were quick to return to defense, making it impossible for the Knicks to score easily.

Cousins felt average in the positional battle, Monroe was blocked by Milicic, and the person who stood up to help Li Feng was actually Kirilenko, who scored 4 points, and he completed his starting job.

Li Feng is the best person in the Knicks, his teammates can't open it, he has to hold the ball and attack, in the third season, he is full of firepower, mainly relying on jump shots, as long as he flashes the air, he will shoot.

In the 6th minute, Adelman called a timeout and arranged for Beasley and Love to defend Li Feng and release Monroe to limit his offense, and Monroe got a chance to score six points in a row.

After a timeout, the Knicks changed lineup again, and Li Feng played the No. 1 position again.

Watching Li Feng play point guard, Timberwolves head coach Adelman complained in his heart, this style of play Timberwolves will be more passive, the two guards are too short, if Beasley is allowed to defend Li Feng at this time, Johnson and Rubio have to have one person to defend Kirilenko, how are they all misplaced, take care of one or the other.

Johnson is more secure with Rose on the court, and the task of defending Kirilenko falls on Rubio's shoulders.

Charles Barkley was excited when he saw Li Feng playing point guard, and shouted:

"Li Feng is playing point guard again, the Knicks' No. 1 position doesn't seem to be satisfactory to Tyberdeau, Derrick Rose's strength is there, and the data is not bad, I don't know what Tyberdu is doing, I feel that Tyberdu is hiding Ross in the snow."

Kenny Smith sighed with a little regret:

"Derrick Ross came to the Knicks too much to hide his edge, and he didn't have the style to dare to compete with Li Feng for MVP last year."

After the substitution, the Knicks' defense immediately became stronger.

Li Feng singled out Rubio on the court and hit a high jumper.

The Timberwolves immediately switched to Beasley's outside defense Li Feng, Rubio and Kirilenko, although this defense has weaknesses, but it is better than letting Li Feng play alone.

Adelman doesn't want to replace Johnson, even if Johnson is down, the Timberwolves don't have a strong swingman other than Johnson to resist Li Feng.

Li Feng used the style of play of a point guard, guarding the ball at the top of the perimeter arc to control the situation, stretching out two fingers to play a code to his teammates, Cousins pulled out to cover and block Beasley, Li Feng broke through from the left side with the ball, and there were two interior players in the low post, Monroe and Kirilenko, who could grab defensive rebounds if they couldn't score.

Lefu changed his defense, and Li Feng was confident in Lefu's single, a guy who can only brush data, but he still chose to pass, and the opportunity in the low post was better, and Kirilenko on the left side faced Rubio.

How can such a dislocation be let go?

As soon as the ball reached his hand, Kirilenko dribbled twice with his back, turned to the baseline, jumped high, and hit the board with one hand.

Rubio is not tall enough, and Rubio can only watch him make a move, and there is nothing he can do.

The Timberwolves attacked, the outside line was targeted by Li Feng and Rose, it was not easy to break through, and he could only pass to the inside Lefou, Beasley had no advantage in playing Kirilenko alone, and Kirilenko was not afraid of the low back, and his qualities were better than Beasley.

Lefu started to play singles, Monroe was more difficult today, his task was too heavy, not only Lefu himself could score, the Timberwolves guard broke through by blocking and dismantling tactics, and he was also the person responsible for changing the defense, and almost all the Timberwolves' offenses were towards him and Lefu

The Knicks were more beautiful offensively, and at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks held on to double-digit scores.

At this time, what should the Timberwolves do to stop the Knicks offense?

Even Adelman didn't know what to do. If the Timberwolves want to ensure offense, they have to send Johnson, no one at the No. 2 position can defend Li Feng alone, let alone other players, if they have good players, they will not let Johnson start.

The rest of Pekovic, he has a lot of power and tonnage, but with his current speed, it will be difficult to defend the role players of other teams, let alone MVP?

There is also Webster, the little steel cannon has sat on the cold bench in the Timberwolves, and there is no longer the scenery of the Trail Blazers, although Adelman dares to use people more than Van Gundy, but who he wants to let sit on the cold bench, the other party is also frozen to the point of numbness.
