Chapter 179: A Fatal Blow
After digesting the Knicks' first victory, many people paid attention to the second game of both sides, this is the home court of the Cavaliers, they suffered a loss in the first game, and they will definitely not be lightly defeated, and it is not so easy for the Knicks to get out of the quick loan center. **!Book. Bar*
But the Knicks surprised everyone again!
β¦β¦
Syllable!
Du Hong slapped Mo Williams' layup, Li Feng shrewd quickly to the basket, jumped up to grab the basket, and immediately launched a counterattack after landing.
"Go!"
Li Feng shouted, took the lead in dribbling and rushed to the frontcourt, chasing after the retreating Cavaliers, and on the way, he used Corey's blocking and dismantling to change to the left wing of the front court outside the frontcourt.
"Maybe breaking through to the basket and scoring is the safest way now?!"
James, who interfered with Li Feng's retreat all the way to the backcourt, stepped back directly and held a step inside the three-point line, he watched Li Feng trot to the left wing while dribbling, while repeatedly looking back to observe the running position of his teammates, Dujon and Corey are not yet in place, Thornton and Harden have not run out of the offensive space, the current score is so close, presumably Li Feng's best choice in this situation is to take the initiative to approach the basket to attack, or to stabilize the rhythm and wait for the support of his teammates, James secretly made a judgment in his heart in an instant, Defending Li Feng to break through became his first choice.
Syllable! Another dribbling sounded, knocking on James's heart, Li Feng turned around and observed the follow-up runs of his teammates, his footsteps were close to the three-point line, but at this moment, he suddenly dribbled again, and stopped in an instant. Lifting the ball and pulling it out is a basketball.
"Not good!"
James only had time to raise his hand in a defensive gesture.
Suddenly, the unreasonable offensive tactics disrupted his conjecture and slowed his reaction a beat, and the result was a thud as he watched the basketball fly safely over his head. Plunged headlong into the basket.
βYESοΌβ
After Li Feng landed on the ground, he watched the basketball get into the basket steadily, turned around excitedly and waved his fist violently, and shouted loudly. The feet have also begun to defend themselves, and there must be no slackening at this time.
Force!
The Cavaliers' timeout stopped Li Feng from retreating.
"Another five points ahead, this should be close to victory!"
Li Feng walked to the bench and turned his head to look at the scoreboard - 100-95, at this time the game time was also gradually ending, and there were fifty-eight seconds left. He seemed to smell victory in his nose.
"Is it true that no team can stop the Knicks' forward momentum?"
The fans of the Quick Loan Center Arena thought a little depressed.
There was a hint of doubt in their eyes when they looked at the knights, the real knights shouldn't be like this!
"Is this the Knicks, they're getting scary and terrifying, and they're on par with our Cavaliers here. Maybe it has a slight upper hand! β
Looking back at the whole game, the Knicks showed enough resilience that they had begun to brand their style with more of a strong team, leading the Cavaliers by 16 points at halftime.
The next third quarter was contained by the Cavaliers' strong defense, and James, who was pressed by Li Feng in the last game, scored 18 points in a single quarter.
And that's what the game does. The Knicks, under the leadership of Li Feng, are holding the hope of victory step by step, exchanging leads many times, until Li Feng's somewhat unexpected decisive three-pointer broke the balance on the court, and for the first time, the gap between the two teams in the last quarter was more than three points. It could be the goal that would have made the difference!
Fortunate?
There was perhaps a bit of luck in the last game. But tonight, the Knicks used their performance to really compete with the championship contenders. And tonight's contest is not down at all. β¦,
"Defend! Defend! Defend! β
As soon as Mike Brown sat down with his players, his first words began to emphasize defense. He was very dissatisfied with the team's defense tonight, and this dissatisfaction rushed directly to the team's defensive giants,
"LeBron, what you should do at this time is how to maintain the defensive intensity and make that kid feel the pressure of shooting all the time.
"Next, I will definitely guard against that kid, I will never let him have any chance to make an easy shot again, never!"
Although James complained bitterly in his heart, Li Feng repeatedly made him feel embarrassed tonight, he was angrier than anyone else, his defense was severely challenged, often some opportunities that were not opportunities could also be seized by Li Feng, this opponent's comprehensive offensive means made him have too many scruples in defense, Li Feng's current firepower is unstoppable.
However, Li Feng must not be allowed to continue to go crazy tonight, James looked at Mike Brown with burning eyes, and then turned his head to look at Li Feng, who had embarrassed him all night at the other end of the court, and said casually:
"I'll stop him!"
It was like a promise to Mike Brown, but it was more like talking to himself, and the expression on his face was more serious than ever.
The serious expression on James' face looked in the eyes of Mike Brown and others, and everyone knew that James would only have this kind of expression when facing a few superstars such as Harden and Wade in the past.
"If you want to turn the tables and win, you must first rely on you to defend Li Feng, not only his offensive shooting, but also his passing, you also need to influence at all times, interrupt his rhythm, make him as uncomfortable as possible, and then it's up to you!"
Mike Brown patted James on the shoulder, and if he couldn't win the championship this year, maybe the two would lose the opportunity to work together forever.
"Shaq and Antoine's defense is only the basis for winning, and your offensive firepower can finally bring us victory, give me the closest distance to the basket, and there is no room for any more mistakes at this time!"
"Anthony, you come down and rest for a while!"
Mike Brown was a little disappointed with Anthony Parker's performance tonight, and his contribution to the team in the offense tonight was almost zero. All 10 shots were deflected off the basket, and defensively he was at a disadvantage against Thornton, who repeatedly found easy layups or mid-range shots.
He set his sights on the young Gibson,
"Daniel. Do as I told you before, and I'm sure you won't let us down! β
"Of course!"
Gibson has often played the role of spoiler in the playoffs in previous seasons.
The game restarted, O'Neal held the basketball in the low position of the inside, stabilized it, and immediately dribbled and carried Corey to continue to squeeze and attack the basket, wrapping and clamping, Li Feng, who was one step inside the three-point line, saw the timing of O'Neal's dribbling and immediately retreated and unfolded the bag.
Sou!
The basketball flew into the hands of James outside the three-point line on the baseline in a blink of an eye, Li Feng quickly turned around and counterattacked, and James made a shooting feint and shook it for a while. Dodged and sank down to dribble and quickly rushed into the inside, taking advantage of Li Feng's emergency stop to stretch his arms to defend.
He suddenly changed his direction and burst to the basket, and went straight into the pile for a layup.
The Knicks serve and come to the frontcourt. Li Feng controlled the ball himself, consuming offensive time, and when the timer counted down to single digits, Li Feng passed to Eddie Cory on the inside, but. The Cavaliers didn't let his wish go, and Gibson, who was recovering the bag, quickly slapped the basketball in Corey's hand.
"Foul?"
This is obviously an active foul, Li Feng frowned slightly when he saw this, but he thought that Corey's free throw performance in the recent period was not bad. As long as they score a goal, they still have the initiative in the game. β¦,
Syllable! The basketball pops out of the frame. Li Feng approached the free throw line and patted Corey's buttocks,
"Don't be in a hurry. Just make the next shot! β
Although the expression on Corey's face was as calm as ever. But Li Feng somehow always felt that this guy was a little nervous.
Syllable!
Another iron slap made the hearts of the entire Knicks team jump violently.
"Hurry back to defense!"
watched as O'Neal protected the rebound. Li Feng shouted suddenly, and immediately retreated to the half court to defend.
However, Corey has not lost his square inch, and stepped forward to interfere with O'Neal, who was holding the ball, delaying the opponent's fast attack.
The fast-break opportunity was fleeting, but after a few years of playoff testing, the Cavaliers immediately switched to positional warfare, and after a relapse, the basketball came to O'Neal again.
Storm!
This time Li Feng did not easily recover the bag, Du Hong resisted O'Neal outside the wing of the three-second zone, and did not reach the latter's most effective range, but O'Neal also had a way to deal with this situation, half-turned and leaned on Corey, took the initiative to find the latter's raised arm, and shot the basketball with one hand.
Syllable!
Corey's arm was forced to hit O'Neal's forearm.
The basketball still bounced off the board and bounced into the basket as the Knicks watched nervously.
"Hehe, Shaq's free throws don't seem to be much better than Eddie's, even a one-point lead at this time is good!"
Li Feng looked at O'Neill with a wicked smile in his heart, and instinctively prayed to the gods and Buddhas that Shak would also do the work of striking iron.
Force!
The referee's whistle blew and O'Neal stepped onto the free throw line.
The fantasy of praying is good, but the reality is so cruel, well, the free throws not only made the score between the two teams even again, but also made Li Feng and others secretly scream a few times It's a pity.
D'Antoni called a short timeout and specially arranged the tactics of the last shot, and the operator was undoubtedly Li Feng, who felt quite good tonight.
After the timeout, the Cavaliers' pressing was very pressing, Li Feng served in the frontcourt, Corey grabbed the basketball in his right hand, and then passed directly to the front, because he saw a yellow figure getting rid of the defense.
With nine seconds left, Corey made a mistake and slipped the pass, only to realize that he had passed the basketball to Gibson, but it was too late to be upset because Gibson had already run towards half court.
At this time, Thornton had already caught up with Gibson, and his shot was like lightning, just at the moment when Gibson was eager to make a contribution, he suddenly stretched out his right hand like lightning and intercepted the basketball in Gibson's hand running at high speed!
It all happened in the light of light!
The moment Thornton pulled out the basketball in Gibson's hand, although his heart was still as calm as possible, he was also filled with excitement, because at this time, his ball would be able to rewrite the outcome of the game!
Syllable!
However, a discordant voice came, Gibson actually grabbed the counter-robbery, stabbed the basketball out of the basket, Jamison in the back quickly protected the basketball, seeing that there was not much time, and passed directly to the front court, although this is very dangerous, but he must let James or others receive the basketball as soon as possible, so that the victory belongs to the Cavaliers.
So, Jamison passed the basketball straight in the direction of James.
James was also ready to catch the ball, he had already run directly towards the presumed landing point of the basketball, James was like electricity, rushed towards the basketball, his body dragged a long arc on the ground, and rushed directly to the basketball.
"Not good!"
At the moment when James was about to arrive at the basketball, he suddenly shouted badly, because at this moment, he suddenly saw Li Feng's speed coming to the middle of the place faster! β¦,
The only route for this basketball is Li Feng, seeing this change, James looked annoyed, and he suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, and this mistake was likely to directly bury a victory.
However, it was too late, in the heart-rending eyes of James and Li Feng, Li Feng came to the middle of the ball, and then, he jumped high, at this moment, Li Feng, who was not too good at bouncing, actually jumped very high, as if he was about to fly to the stars.
Li Feng jumped high like this, and in the sky, he stretched out his left hand, and then scooped the basketball down!
Onslaught!
Li Feng seemed to use a bomb to directly shatter the psychological defense of the Cavaliers players, and at this time, there were only three seconds left, Li Feng grabbed the rebound and rushed towards the frontcourt.
The wind is roaring, Li Feng's ball control skills have been improved to the highest level, and his speed has been improved to the peak with his own ball control, and then, in the hoarse sound of the wind in his ears, Li Feng has reached the opponent's three-point line in just two seconds.
"This damn guy...... This mistake must not be allowed to continue! β
Gibson's thoughts came here, and he was already frantically rushing towards Li Feng, he wanted to pay the price for the mistake he had just made, so he rushed towards Li Feng with his greatest strength.
However, Li Feng turned a deaf ear to Gibson, who rushed over, and just used a continuous second acceleration to pass Paul directly, and then, his body has stopped outside the three-point line.
With 1 second left, Li Feng stretched his body outside the three-point line.
So, the audience witnessed the miracle of Li Feng, who bloomed his edge once, and the next moment, the basketball in Li Feng's hand had passed through many obstacles and arrived directly at the basket!
In the next second, the basketball passed through the net, and a net flower came out with a bang, and Li Feng fell from the sky, and the moment the basketball was still flying in the sky, the red light was already high.
At the last moment, Li Feng used a steal and a three-point jumper to complete a fatal blow!
James's eyes were full of coldness, and he walked into the locker room without looking back, and it could be seen that he was quite angry, Li Feng and his enmity had been settled.
And the rest, Gibson also held his head and looked at Li Feng in disbelief, and then he smiled wryly and returned to the bench. (To be continued......)
