Volume 1 Glimpse of Fierce Light Chapter 294 Quasi-Five Pairs
The Knicks didn't rush to serve the sideline ball and made a substitution, with Kirilenko replacing Monroe and Rose replacing Livingston.
The throw-in was issued, Kirilienko pulled out the perimeter, as soon as he came out, the Clippers' defense had to change formation, Griffin followed, Li Feng received the ball and passed to Rose, running inside without the ball.
As soon as he got into the low post on the right, Rose's pass was delivered immediately.
Li Feng didn't have any fancy moves to catch the ball in the low post this time, and quickly turned around Evans on the bottom line.
Griffin was too far away to make up for the defense, so Bledsoe let go of Rose and rushed forward to take a foul tactic and knocked out the basketball in Li Feng's hand.
After Li Feng hit both free throws, it was 34-42.
The Clippers also requested substitutions, with Jordan, Butler, and Gordon on the sidelines.
Negro hopes that the players can pull away and win the game in one go. There are more than two quarters left, and the physical strength of the main forces can hold on to the last of the day. It's an honor to end the Knicks' winning streak.
After the substitution, the Clippers did play well, and Butler began to exert his power again.
Thornton was in charge of defending him, and although he followed him closely, he still suffered, and today just in time for Butler to burst out, and he shot accurately.
After a few minutes of play, the Knicks switched to JR Smith defense, and Butler scored 12 points in the first quarter and 27 points in the half.
The Knicks trailed by 10 points at 52-62 heading into the second half.
Li Feng didn't shoot much today, and he didn't seem to feel very good, only scoring 10 points in the half, but grabbed 7 rebounds, handed out 6 assists, and 7 blocks and 4 steals, and did a very good job defensively.
Van Gundy and Johnson made half-time comments. Van Gundy Says:
"It's not that the Clippers played well, but that the Knicks' offense was so poor, shooting just 40 from the field as a team, which was the first time this season. Usually at the end of the half, they can score more than 60 points. ”
Johnson laughed:
"This game also reflects Li Feng's role in the team. The other Knicks players are good at putting the icing on the cake, but no one is stepping up to score when they are passive. If it weren't for Li Feng's play on the defensive end, maybe the Knicks would have fallen behind by a big score. He's the king of the Knicks even if he doesn't score, but they have to make adjustments in the second half and someone has to take on the scoring load. ”
Tyberdu did have to make adjustments, Li Feng didn't feel good and couldn't attract the bag, so it would be difficult for others to get easy shots, and Rose scored a lot today. But the energy was too much to be held back by Gordon.
Now the Knicks have to step up their defense and defend against the opposition.
Today, the Clippers also deliberately fought with them defensively, and it had a noticeable effect.
Taberdu Tract:
'In the second half you have to be more defensive, think about how we won last season. We've conceded too many points this season. Defending them from the outside is key. Forward, in the second half you defend Butler, follow him. Derek. In the second half, you're in charge of blocking and shooting, and DeMarcus is covering when you find an opportunity. ”
Rose was one of the top 10 scorers in the league last season, and at this time, Tyberdeau chose to trust him. The Knicks fielded a lineup of Rose, Harden, Li Feng, Kirilenko, and Cousins.
The Clippers were still the starters they started the opening game.
Li Feng's role in the team is still very critical, and he must freeze the Clippers' most active players.
Li Feng stood beside Butler. Butler laughed:
"Changed you to defend me?"
Li Feng smiled:
"yes, you'll have to let me do it myself. I'm not going to let you score easily. ”
The Clippers send a baseline shot. Gordon brought to the frontcourt, and Butler took the initiative to ask for the ball to be singled.
For Li Feng, Butler also has confidence.
Although he lost the Finals when he was in the Mavericks last season, Butler's performance was very good, and he was in good shape today, so he was naturally not afraid of Li Feng. The ball is in Butler's hands, and the two begin to face off. Butler rushed inside with the ball, and Li Feng kept a step away and followed closely, not close. Butler chose to attack in the low post, which is also what Li Feng wants, James's strength is not as good as himself, although Butler is a hard-line small forward, but after the injury, his body has been greatly reduced, and his strength cannot compete with himself at all.
Li Feng resisted hard behind his back, interfering with Butler's turnaround jumper, the ball was deflected, and Kirilenko grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.
Harden, Rose, and Li Feng are going down. Rose passed the ball to Harden, Harden handed it to Rose, who in turn passed to Li Feng, who quickly returned to the defense, Blake Griffin went to follow Harden, and Butler returned to follow Li Feng.
Butler's physique is not bad, his height is about the same as Li Feng, but he is rarely seen using his body to defend against the other party.
Li Feng took the ball and rushed to the inside line until he reached the basket, but Butler didn't step forward to press, just followed on the side, and the two had no physical contact.
Li Feng jumped to the basket and scored with one hand to wipe the ball, and Butler jumped up but couldn't cover it at all, just symbolically stretched out his hand.
54 to 62. No matter how bad the hand feels, Li Feng can score it when he enters the basket.
The Clippers attacked, Gordon suddenly shot from the outside, dodging Rose's block, but the ball was missed, and Li Feng went down fast again.
Since the departure of Camby and Carman, the Clippers have not had players who are good at grabbing rebounds inside, and Jordan and Griffin can't grab Kirilenko and Cousins.
Sure enough, Cousins stuck Jordan, Kirilenko lived up to expectations and grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Harden next to him, and Harden handed a long pass to Li Feng.
Li Feng didn't catch the ball, jumped up in the air and gave the ball to Rose, who was fast on the other side, and got rid of Butler and entered the interior line.
Rose chose to attack with the ball in the face of Crawford, and he shook off half a step away from two crotch dribbles and made a pull-and-go jumper.
The offensive selection was not good, Rose did not shake off Crawford, the ball was deflected.
But it didn't matter, Li Feng rushed to the basket first, stuck in position and grabbed a frontcourt rebound.
Li Feng didn't get up, and he drew Griffin's defense with a false swing, and passed the ball out of the box to Harden on the left.
Harden catches the ball and goes on a basketball, 56-62.
After strengthening the defense, the Knicks began to chase points. Li Feng and Butler were opposed.
Butler now feels the difficulty, he used to be able to beat most of the No. 3 positions in the league, but now he can't, he can only rely on skill.
Butler attacked with his back, and Li Feng hit it twice. The step back opened up a little distance, and Butler turned to the baseline and threw a step-back jumper. There is also a small floating stagnation.
Butler is careless again, in the face of Li Feng's shooting, it is best to shoot as fast as possible, and there will be a price to pay if you are slow.
As soon as it was in the air, it was equivalent to giving Li Feng time to block, Li Feng's right hand stretched out with all his might, jumped up and covered the shot, the ball fell into the penalty area and was picked up by Harden on the other side, and thrown to the front court to launch a fast attack.
Rose catches the ball and singles and throws again. This time Gordon defended well, the ball didn't go in, and Griffin took the backcourt rebound.
The Clippers attacked the position and hung inside to Jordan to misplace Kirilenko.
Butler was blocked. Gordon felt he needed to calm down. After all, he and Crawford were the most firepower today, and if he suffered consecutive setbacks, it would be very demoralizing.
Jordan walks the middle with the ball on his back. Li Feng let go of Butler and chose to make up the defense.
No team dares to let Butler go, and the coach will usually arrange for the players to stick as closely as they can, even if he doesn't catch the ball.
Because of this, although Jordan turned around to the middle and saw Li Feng in a high position not far away, he didn't pay attention to it, and only thought about how to make this shot feel softer.
Jordan turned around and opted for a hook hand. The action was beautiful, but what Jordan heard was a "pop".
Li Feng jumped up from behind and slapped the ball hard into the ground. The ball is picked up by Rose.
With the eighth block in a single game, the fans at Madison Square Garden were crazy with excitement.
There's nothing more morale-boosting than a block to block an opposition's offense. Today Li Feng dominates the inside line. Rose passed to Harden, who went down alone, Harden broke through Crawford's defense, Gordon retreated to change defense, Harden handed the ball back to Rose, Rose faced Crawford, paused, seemed to wait for his teammates to fall into position, and suddenly took the ball and chose to shoot three points, he saw Harden go to the basket first than Griffin, the ball did not go in, and the Knicks also grabbed the rebound.
Harden got stuck, but the shot went in.
59 to 62.
In a few rounds, the Knicks narrowed the gap to three points, Li Feng's defense was the key, he seemed to have really returned to the state of Georgetown University, becoming "Ben Wallace II" Gordon with the ball to the frontcourt, Butler wanted to single Li Feng again, he continued to eat deflated, trying to save face.
At this time, Li Feng unexpectedly chose to defend around the front. Gordon didn't dare to pass inside, and the Knicks also had Cousins on the inside, someone who was also outstanding in bounce.
He waved Griffin out, and then followed Griffin's cover breakthrough and Rose switched.
Gordon chose to distribute the ball to Crawford on the outside, who failed to shake off Harden, and hoisted the ball into the inside, Jordan turned around and missed the jump shot in the low post on the right side, Li Feng won the backcourt rebound, and threw a long pass directly to the frontcourt, Rose went down the fast attack, Griffin chased the block, but Rose shot quickly, Griffin touched the basketball and was judged to interfere with the ball, and two points were counted.
61-62, Rose scored five points in a row.
Now it's the Clippers' turn to run out of hands.
Li Feng goes around Butler, and Gordon's lack of confidence in passing this kind of anti-drop ball, which is also the difference between him and the top point guard.
He's a two-way defender with average organization.
Gordon dribbled the ball to find a block, Harden changed the defense in a timely manner, Gordon passed the ball out of the line, and Crawford hoisted it to Jordan, who misplaced and forced Kirilenko, and finally turned and made a jumper.
61 to 64.
Next, both sides did not hit high percentages and entered a stalemate. At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks were 82-80 up by two points.
Rose was the best player, scoring nine points in the quarter and hitting a three-pointer.
Butler shot 1-of-5 from the field in the first quarter and scored just two points.
When commenting, Van Gundy said:
"Li Feng has already got three doubles, two blocks are missing ten, and there are still three steals, maybe, five pairs will really be born today!"
Johnson laughed:
"In the previous game, the Knicks won easily, Li Feng played less time, the whole team paid attention to offense, and he didn't show much on the defensive end, this time he was really crazy. The Knicks started playing the way they won last season, playing defense-oriented. The Clippers didn't make an immediate turn. ”
Van Gundy said:
"What I want to see most right now is the Clippers attacking the interior, and the block stats are the hardest to get. I believe that friends in front of the TV also want to watch Li Feng play 4 pairs and 5 pairs. ”
The score did not open, and Li Feng still had to stay on the court and continue to play. He just wants to win now, and he doesn't deliberately calculate his own stats, and he doesn't know that he is about to win 5 doubles. Tyberdu scratched a few times on the tactical board and said:
"Sharp. Since you didn't feel good today, leave your energy on defense. Pay attention to the rebounds in the front court, and run to attract the defense. Derrick controlled the ball, DeMarcus and Andre covered James and focused on the perimeter. When defending, you have to keep an eye on it. ”
Either way, the advantage is still on the Knicks' side.
Negro also arranged tactics.
"Pick-and-roll, try to shoot in the low post, even if you can't score, try to make fouls, we can win this game. Caron, bring out your energy, now the team needs you to step up and score. DeAndre and Breckela went to the outside to block Li Feng. When defending, Griffin kept an eye on Li Feng, and he didn't feel good today. You can't afford to be defenseless. ”
Li Feng's single defense against Butler played a role. Negro saw it clearly. Blocking and dismantling bypassing Li Feng, Butler will be easier to play.
And Tyberdu kept Kirilenko on the court so that he and Li Feng could limit Butler together.
They were successful defensively. The Clippers' outside shooting percentage has dropped dramatically.
At the beginning of the game, the Clippers had the ball, Jordan pulled to the perimeter to block Li Feng for Butler, and Kirilenko defended it after changing positions.
The Knicks also seem to be a hybrid defense right now, with Kirilenko trying not to leave the basket and being responsible for defending inside the box and protecting backcourt rebounds. The task of anti-pick-and-roll was given to Harden.
Butler changes direction with the ball and makes a pull-up jumper. Dodged the block, but the ball was deflected again.
It's a terrible thing to feel completely at a critical moment. Cousins grabbed the rebound, his 18th of the game.
Today, the Knicks were able to turn the score around, and the rebounding advantage was very crucial.
So far, he has led the Clippers by 11 rebounds and has rebounded 6-1 in the frontcourt.
Griffin interfered in front of Kirilenko to block one of his passes.
But it didn't work, Rose would go inside when the opponent was shooting, and it had become a habit. Kirilenko's pass to Ross next to him can still quickly launch a fast attack.
Rose threw the ball to the front court and passed it to Li Feng.
The person who Li Feng retreated after receiving the ball was Jordan, and he was misplaced in singles.
He rushed inside with the ball, Jordan couldn't keep up with the speed, was passed by one step, and Gordon had to step forward to make up for it.
Li Feng ignored him and jumped up to dunk. Gordon pulled Li Feng down with all his might.
Li Feng's free throws were good today, and he hit both free throws.
84 to 80.
Gordon passed to Butler, who dribbled the ball through the right side with Griffin cover and singled Harden, and this time Butler's pull-up jumper finally went in.
84 to 82.
After a few rounds, the two sides fought hard to defend and conceded a lot of balls.
Because Butler is always looking for blocks, Li Feng simply switched positions with Kirilenko and entered the basket, and when he changed defenses, he followed Butler.
Li Feng feels good about blocking today, and it is more suitable to stay under the basket.
Butler relied on the pick-and-roll to step into the three-point line and made a pull-up jump shot that missed, Kirilenko followed Griffin out of the interior, and Jordan did not stay in the high post after the pick-and-roll, rushed into the interior and grabbed the frontcourt rebound.
Jordan jumped on the spot, ready to dunk with both hands.
Li Feng didn't block Butler after blocking and dismantling, he hit the basket like a gust of wind, jumped with all his strength, and fanned Jordan's dunk out of the baseline with one hand.
The referee did not blow for a foul, and Li Feng completed his 9th block. The Clippers sent the ball from the baseline, Gordon shot from the outside and missed again, and Li Feng grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.
The Knicks fell to the ground to attack, Li Feng took the ball in the high post to respond, and Cousins pulled to the outside.
Jordan followed the defense out, and the low post was empty.
Li Feng passed the ball to Harden.
He didn't disappoint, turning in the low post and hitting a left-handed shot from the board. The call for "MVP" in the audience is getting louder and louder, and every time the Knicks attack, every time they defend a shot, the fans will applaud and cheer for the home team.
When the Clippers attack, they will collectively boo, and it will be lively. The Knicks completely overwhelmed the Clippers in momentum.
Rose finally opened, and when everyone couldn't feel it, Tyberdu completely liberated his attacking ability.
He took advantage of the cover, and the stop-and-go jump shot that started in one step was very accurate, and the score began to widen.
After the Knicks tightened up their defense, the Clippers never got used to it.
The Clippers have no advantage on the offensive end, only Jordan is taller than Kirilenko when he is out of position, but he has never been good at scoring, and the offense in the low post is not very reliable, and it is very average to be played by Kirilenko outside the restricted area.
Griffin's ability to take the initiative is poor, Crawford doesn't get a chance, and Gordon hits the iron.
The only thing the Clippers can rely on is Butler, and they are heavily guarded.
Rose controlled the ball outside, and Li Feng spared no effort to intersperse runs in the bottom corner, and also got a chance.
He cut away from the defense and went inside and made a layup. Finally, there are goals in the athletic war again.
With five minutes left, Rose relied on a cover pull-up jump shot to hit three in a row to stretch the score to 10 points and almost seal the win.
The Knicks asked for a substitution, Rose went down, Livingston went up, and the interior line also replaced Ibaka, who was better at blocking, and replaced Kirilenko.
In three minutes, Harden shook off Butler in the middle and cut the basket in the middle, Li Feng sent the ball out of the high position, and Harden avoided Jordan to block the layup and scored. The Knicks' outside player touch has also been restored.
Several of the Clippers' starters played more than 40 minutes and were a little tired, and the Knicks played short off the bench and gave their best for the first time this season.
At 2 minutes and 19 seconds, Crawford, who was eager to chase the score, forced a breakthrough with the ball, shook off Harden to the basket, and Ibaka, who was waiting under the basket, let go of Griffin and gave him a big hat.
The Clippers led by 10 points at the half, but the good fortune was overturned in the second half.
Butler scored 27 points in the first half and scored only 37 points at the bottom of the game.
Eight points in the fourth quarter was not bad, but it couldn't help the team win.
In the final moments, J. Crawford hit a three-pointer and Griffin dunked a basket, but it didn't help.
The Knicks defeated the Clippers 104-98 and ushered in a 16-game winning streak, and Li Feng's super quasi-five-double of 20 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists, 9 blocks and 8 steals in a single game shocked the league.
