Chapter 396: Unmatched

(Revised later)

Livingston broke through the layup with the ball and was blocked by Xiao Si, Corey picked up the ball and killed the second half by himself, Li Feng was blocked by Thompson, and there was no way to chase Corey, so he could only watch Corey and J.R. Smith fly to the frontcourt.

J.R. Smith was no worse than Corey with the ball in hand, but his defense was not good, Cory stepped on the free throw line and took three steps, he slowed down slightly when he was one step back, and only made a layup against J.R. Smith when J.R. Smith jumped.

If it was an old player, then there must be no doubt about pulling Corey down at this time, which was obviously a blocking foul, but J.R. Smith has not been strong defensively, he just opened his hand to indicate that he did not move.

Corey smiled and sent the ball into the hoop, 2+1, the referee's whistle has been blown.

J.R. Smith hurriedly rushed up and explained:

"Sir, I didn't move at all, he bumped into it himself, it's not a foul ......"

Li Feng went up to block the body that J.R. Smith was trying to do, and seeing that the latter was still trying to explain, he smiled bitterly:

"JR, forget the ball, the referee is right, let Derek tell you how to deal with such an attack when the game is over."

Hearing Li Feng say this, J.R. Smith had no choice but to give up.

Corey took the ball in, and as he retreated into the half, he winked at J.R. Smith and smiled:

"JR, you don't play with your brain!"

As he spoke, he smiled and pointed to his head.

Li Feng passes the ball to Monroe.

The latter tried to move backwards, but Xiao Siqiang did not move against him, and Monroe turned around and felt that there was no chance to pass the ball to J.R. Smith again.

He can't burst inside to shoot because Ibaka and Chandler are in the box, and Chandler can wrap himself up at will, so he is likely to cause a dead ball if he rushes into the box.

That's why Tyberdu doesn't dare to use Ibaka at will, maybe Ibaka is comparable to Monroe defensively, but his offensive ability is limited. He simply can't pull the opposing post player out of the corner - even if he goes out on his own, the opponent doesn't worry, and his mid-range shooting ability is close to none anyway.

In this way, it is not a matter of one less offensive firepower, but two less, and Monroe will be caught by the opponent's interior players.

And it was precisely because of this consideration that Tyberdu gave Li Feng unlimited firing rights in the third quarter.

J.R. Smith controlled the ball and wanted to break through Ellis, but instead of breaking through, he was almost stealed by Ellis, and he had no choice but to pass the ball to Li Feng.

At this time, there was not much time, Li Feng received the ball and shot, and Thompson followed at the same time as he jumped. His elbow hit Li Feng's rib bone, and the strength of Li Feng's shot suddenly became a little unstable, and a ball that was originally nine out of ten popped out of the hoop.

Smalls grabbed the rebound and handed it to Corey and motioned for him to take his time and not play the fast break.

Corey possessed the ball over half court, and with a cover from Smalls coming up, he rushed inside to jump and throw, and Monroe followed to block him, but it was just a fake move by Corey.

Without even looking behind him, Corey felt the ball and passed it to Smalls, who was following him. Xiao Si hits the board and scores.

The Warriors played well in successive offenses, and the team began to launch a counterattack with the combination of Smalls and Corey, but Li Feng did not allow them to counterattack easily.

Li Feng burst inside to split the ball to J.R. Smith, who followed up and jumped from the baseline for a dunk. Chandler was stuck by Ibaka, and Smalls and Monroe were on the other side, so his dunk was effortless and effortless.

Ellis broke through Li Feng with the ball in his left hand and scored a layup, and Li Feng immediately returned the color with a long shot; Smalls received a pass from Chandler and scored on the board. Monroe shook his feet past Xiao Si and dunked his hand; Corey deceived Livingston and rushed into the box to be blocked by Li Feng, J.R. Smith and Livingston cooperated with the fast break to score, and the next attack Ibaka missed a layup. Chandler grabbed the rebound, Corey scored on a fast break, and Stephen Curey played the core of the Warriors.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides began to play anxiously, and by the end of the third quarter, the score was 78-76, and the Knicks had a slight advantage.

The tiebreaker was left in the fourth quarter, Tyberdu waved his hand, Harden replaced Li Feng on the court, and James Harden was a sharp knife on the outside of the Knicks, sharper than J.R. Smith.

Ellis pushes Harden's waist.

Harden grinned behind him after holding the ball, and with a big butt, Ellis staggered back two steps, Harden turned and rushed into the basket to throw the ball into the hoop, although Ellis chased after him, but there was no chance to block him.

The first three quarters were so hard for the two teams that they didn't get off the court, so that at the start of the fourth quarter, both teams sent off the bench, with the Warriors leaving Ellis on the floor and the Knicks fielding Harden, who had rested for the entire quarter.

Thompson tapped Ellis on the shoulder for a change of guard, and he shook his head and said:

"Monta, I'll defend this guy, you just go and concentrate on attacking!"

Playing for the Warriors all year round, Ellis's defense has not improved much, but his defensive pace has improved a lot over the years. When he first entered the league, he liked gambling defense, but the defensive effect was not very good, and he gradually got rid of this defensive habit later, and now his close defense is not bad.

Although Ellis's defensive level has improved a lot, he is only playing well against opponents of average physical condition, and he is not doing well against tall and large outside players.

Unfortunately, Harden is not only tall, but he also has a lot of power, which is Ellis's biggest headache for defensive players.

Seeing Thompson come over and ask for a change of defense, Ellis nodded, he really couldn't guard against the beast-like Harden.

Ellis slapped the ball and walked on the three-point line, Harden slowly followed his footsteps, and when Harden didn't fall, Ellis leaned down to the right, and then his body stagnated, his right foot made a force, and the dribble burst to the left and reflexively led.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have been deceived by Ellis's half-turn, but who is defending him now? That's what many experts predict could be one of the Knicks' Big Three.

At present, Li Feng and Rose are two giants, Cousins and Monroe are not counted, but Cousins and Monroe are both All-Stars, and many experts are more optimistic about Harden, which can prove Harden's potential and strength.

Harden's big hand stuck Ellis's back, and his legs were half-squatting to lock Ellis firmly, and to outsiders, this guy was hugging Ellis. In this way, although Ellis has excellent breakthrough skills, he has no chance to play.

Thompson and substitute Rush went up at the same time to respond, J.R. Smith followed Rush firmly and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball at all, and as soon as Thompson received the ball, Knicks' bench Kirilenko also followed.

The basketball slapped Thompson's right hand and rushed towards him against Kirilenko's body, who took a stride to block Thompson.

Against Kirilenko, who was physically strong and not slower than him, Thompson didn't have any offensive options, so he had to pass the ball back to Ellis.

Ellis was about to reach for the ball. But before that, there was a big black hand on the ball, it was Harden, who had been following Ellis.

As soon as the basketball was shot off, J.R. Smith quickly pounced and held the ball in his arms, he grabbed the ball and threw it to Kirilenko, Kirilenko passed to Harden, who rushed down the court like a heavy tank with the ball, Ellis could certainly keep up with Harden, but in the face of the muscular Harden, he couldn't stop his offense.

Harden elbowed Ellis. The latter gritted his teeth and chased after him, but it was useless, Harden rushed into the restricted area as fast as he could, and Ellis grabbed Harden's shoulder directly.

"Roar!"

Roared. Harden, who had been locked up on the bench for a full section, turned into a beast, his muscles tense and his big foot stomped the floor. With Ellis he jumped up.

After the jump, he realized that Ellis, who looked skinny, was so heavy, that Harden felt like he was carrying a 100-kilogram barbell on the layup. But he didn't care, he gritted his teeth and held the ball in his right hand. Slammed it against the hoop.

"Roar!"

After landing on the ground, Harden pushed away Ellis, who was sticking to his back, and he hammered his chest hard and roared at the fans around him, and the violent aura on his body was terrifying.

"Well done!"

Li Feng and all the players on the bench stood up at the same time, and the fans in the audience let out a tsunami-like shout, Harden's iron-blooded dunk made their blood run high, his dunk was not elegant, not in the air, not stretched, some were just powerful, just tyrannical, just bloody, and such a dunk is the dunk that can most inspire men to release adrenaline!

Ellis landed with a wry smile, and he raised his right hand to indicate that he had indeed blocked the foul, which was so obvious that even people who didn't know basketball knew what he had done.

Harden calmly threw the ball into the hoop and showed a bloodthirsty smile at the Warriors players.

"Children, the men's competition is about to begin, I hope you can get out of here alive!"

This dunk hit the morale of the Warriors' players hard, but the Knicks were enthusiastic, and even Ibaka began to demand the ball in a tough position.

Relying on Harden's encouragement, the Knicks players played a wave of tough offense, and although Ellis relied on his breakthrough to shoot a few balls, it couldn't stop the entire Knicks team's crazy offense. In the face of the strong play of young people such as Ibaka and Harden, the Warriors' players were powerless at all, these two guys didn't play any tricks at all, and after getting the ball, they just squeezed in, and then dunked hard.

Watching the bearded Harden lead a group of substitutes to play well, Tyberdu frowned happily, he gently rubbed the beard on his chin with his hand, and began to consider whether to put this guy on the bench.

With Li Feng as a starter, Harden's offensive ability has been weakened very much, and he has not had many opportunities to shoot on the offensive end, so he can only play his strength on the defensive end. However, if he becomes a substitute, then he will be the undisputed core of the outside line, so that he can play his greatest role, and he can effectively participate in both offense and defense.

However, Harden's contract expires this summer, and if he sits on the bench, maybe Harden will not renew his contract with the Knicks...... Promotion, J.R. Smith and others knew that they would have to go off the court once the main players were almost rested, so now they got a chance to perform, and a group of people launched an offense, and in just four minutes, the Knicks' benches combined to play a small climax of 14-8, further expanding the score to 92-84.

Mark Jackson reluctantly called a timeout, he could only send Xiao Si and other key players out of the court in advance, and now his draft vision for the Knicks and the trade can only be described as admiration, from the Grizzlies trade to get Li Feng. The price paid at that time was very big, and many people were not optimistic, even if Li Feng had shown unquenchable potential at that time, not only Li Feng, but also Harden in the trade, draft Cousins and Monroe, etc., and even Parsons in the second round showed strong potential, which made Mark Jackson very envious.

Smalls, Corey, and Ellis appeared together, and Li Feng, Rose, and Harden followed closely. The two teams' most powerful three cores began to collide.

Corey received a pass from Xiaosi, defending him was Li Feng, Harden was entangled with Ellis, facing the beast-like Harden, Ellis had a headache, and he was defended by Harden without even a chance to catch the ball.

And he is a player who needs to hold the ball in his hand to play his combat effectiveness, and if he has no chance to catch the ball, then he is not the 'Mississippi bullet' that the whole league fears.

"Feng, it doesn't seem like it's right for you to defend me."

Corey smiled. His shoulders shook rapidly, the basketball danced in his hand like a butterfly wearing flowers, and Corey's eyes scanned Li Feng's back, as if looking for a way to break through. It seems to be looking for a direction to pass the ball.

Li Feng didn't say much, as long as he could defend against this ball, wouldn't it?

Corey shrugged his right shoulder forward, and cut the ball from Li Feng's left side with his right hand, but Li Feng had no time to react. I felt that Cory's body was already parallel to him.

"Get out!"

Li Feng roared, his left leg quickly pulled back a step, and his left arm stretched out to block Corey's body. Li Feng's arm touched Corey's shoulder. Corey slapped the ball to the ground with his hand, his waist and abdomen were forced, and he suddenly made a backward turn action against his shoulder, still holding the ball with his right hand, Corey turned directly and pulled out, and rushed into the inside with the ball.

Monroe didn't go up to make up for the defense, because while Corey turned around, Li Feng adjusted his pace and chased after him.

Stepping into the box, Corey jumped up from the baseline and flew towards the hoop.

"Stephen, you're looking for death!"

Li Feng roared angrily and chased after Corey.

Corey jumped in the air and pulled out, and then the waist board quickly lifted up to the top of the mountain, and in the air he handed the ball to his left hand with his right hand, and with a hook of his wrist to wipe the ball into the board.

"I said you couldn't stop me, I want to win the championship."

After Cory landed, he turned his head and said with a smile, Li Feng glanced at him calmly, and then said seriously:

"No, the best rookie of the year was me, you like me!"

Li Feng served to Rose and then quickly rushed across the halfcourt, with Thompson following closely behind him to prevent him from opening the gap.

Rose back-pushed Corey inside, and as soon as he turned around and didn't notice, Ellis pounced from the side to save the ball in his hand. Corey picked up the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, Li Feng was blocked by Thompson, and when he bypassed Thompson's body, Corey had already rushed into the penalty area to score on the board.

92-88, the Knicks' lead became 4 points.

This time, Rose immediately handed the ball to Cousins on the inside line after half court, who passed the ball to Li Feng, who cut in on the back, Li Feng threw the ball directly into the hoop, but he raised his hand to return Chandler to make up for the defense, in order to prevent being offended, Li Feng used a little strength.

The shot height of the basketball is a bit too high, so that the basketball jumps twice on the hoop, rolls slightly on the hoop, and falls off the left side of the hoop's neck.

Chandler stuck Cousinska to give Smalls a chance to grab a rebound, and he already knew that he didn't have a chance to rebound in the face of Cousins.

Xiao Si just broke free from Monroe and was about to jump, but suddenly heard an angry shout, a black figure leaped up, before everyone reacted, the man caught the basketball that had just fallen off the hoop, without any fancy movements, the man wheeled the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.

James. Harden, this guy has shown his great offensive ability with the Warriors.

"We're five of us, and you think you're stuck with DeMarcus and the rebound is yours? Tyson, have you forgotten my old friend? ”

After Harden stabilized himself, he immediately turned to Chandler, who was still stuck with Cousins, and Chandler smiled wryly, in fact, he really forgot about this beast, he forgot that he was the toughest interior player in the entire league back then.

Corey then passed the ball to Xiao Si, Xiao Si hit Monroe with his back and turned around and hooked his hand and was blocked by Monroe, Rose picked up the ball and launched a fast attack, Li Feng burst into the inside line from the left wing, Rose threw the ball directly to the hoop, Li Feng jumped high to receive the ball and staged an aerial relay.

Bang!

When Li Feng smashed the basketball into the basket, the entire basketball hoop trembled, as if it was about to be knocked down!

In the following game, Li Feng's offense continued, in the face of the Warriors' bag, he forcibly broke through the inside line, split the dunk with one arm, and Tyson Chandler was powerless to stop!

Li Feng's goal continued, he took over the game, and on the Warriors' side, Stephen Corey also continued to score, and the two continued to score, but at the end of the day, the Knicks had the most laugh, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was 117-112, and the Knicks ended the bloody battle with a 5-point victory over the Golden State Warriors, winning two consecutive home games and turning the score into 2-0.

"51 points, Li Feng scored another 51 points today, this is a terrifying number, let's cheer for him, the first striker in the world, the unique Tyrannosaurus rex, the unique fierce beast striker...... The pride of New Yorkers, the patron saint of Madison, and our ferocious forward...... Li Feng ......" (to be continued......)
