The Knicks came over and wanted to start from Li Feng's breakthrough, the Raptors were also prepared, the speed of rotation accelerated, and Cousins was also missed by the defense when he took the ball!

The Raptors have made achievements on offense, defensively defended one, and it seems that the situation has improved, but when the Raptors come back, the Knicks are still players on the outside, and at this time, the Raptors immediately passed the ball to Amir Johnson, who came out according to Michelle's arrangement.

Amir Johnson took the ball and saw that the opponent let him take a step, and he immediately controlled the ball and tried to hit the basket, but just as he was in front of the ball, Dragic, who was much faster than him, immediately went over and stood on his line, and then fell backwards when he made instant contact.

How fast is Dragic, what speed is Amir Johnson, Amir Johnson can't change faster than Dragic, so Amir Johnson was blown an offensive foul by the referee before he moved.

Amir Johnson was blown a foul by the referee and was not convinced, where did he yell at the referee, this is the home court of the Knicks!

Immediately, the fans booed him, and the referee didn't give him face, and directly fouled him.

Li Feng went to the free throw line and hit the free throw! Picked up a point for nothing, then turned around, and the Raptors re-attacked.

Aamil Johnson was just blown for a technical foul, and at this time there was a bit of blood surging, and then he had to beat Cousins, but he was immediately caught in the interior by several Knicks, in this case, Aamil Johnson still had a chance to pass, but Aamil Johnson had to force a hook, and Aamil Johnson's offense was missed.

The Raptors just laid out the tactics of inside air cuts, and immediately encountered the defensive trap arranged by the Knicks.

This is obviously because the Knicks have a huge information advantage, and they have calculated what changes you have in the front, and what you do to react, we have all recorded! That's why the Raptors have changed. The Knicks immediately adjusted up with zero time difference.

In this way, the Raptors' offense is not easy to fight! And at this time, the Knicks attacked, and Li Feng took the ball outside the three-point line.

Li Feng, who took the ball, realized that DeRozan was a straight character, he was impatient, and he would definitely have problems defensively if he took his time.

So at this time, Li Feng was not in a hurry to get the ball, went up and dribbled under his crotch in front of DeRozan, took a step towards the front, and withdrew a step. One more step, a step back, and two consecutive tosses, DeRozan really showed an impatient look, and at this time, Li Feng took advantage of a crotch dribble and stabbed forward. DeRozan moved backwards at his feet, and Li Feng jumped right backwards. Got up and threw a three-pointer.

This time, DeRozan leaked Li Feng. Li Feng shot three points and hit again.

"Brush!"

Li Feng gave a wonderful individual singles, and the court was thunderous.

Reggie Miller also said at this time:

Li Feng succeeded in singles again, but Li Feng did not win physically, let alone technique, but in psychological quality, and Li Feng's patience was better. So you can wait for a better opportunity. ”

Peyton agreed with Reggie Miller, saying on the side:

Li Feng said that he won psychologically, but it was better to say that he was more mature, and DeRozan wanted to become stronger. He needed a more mature mind. ”

Others think that DeRozan is immature, but DeRozan himself doesn't think so, this round came over, he shook the ball quickly, and still wanted to rush to the Knicks' basket to attack, but when he hit the basket, Monroe came over and delayed, Li Feng quickly clicked DeRozan's basketball, Li Feng clicked DeRozan's basketball down, touched DeRozan's own body and flew out of the bottom line.

The ball is very clear, but DeRozan is a little impatient now, and he was a little hairy by Li Feng, and after landing, he also complained loudly to the referee, saying that Li Feng had fouled.

This is the home field, and the replay is very clear, Li Feng played cleanly! DeRozan still roared like this, and the referee could only give DeRozan another technical foul.

The Raptors have been fouled one after another, which shows that their mentality is a little bad! The incident of not being calm is a terrible thing, especially at the most critical moment, so at this time, Yu Jia was also angry when he saw DeRozan, and he immediately said:

"The Raptors' mentality today is not good! They may have to give away the victory for nothing. ”

The more backward the Raptors are, the more anxious they are, the more anxious they are, and the more they can't play well.

When the Knicks played again, DeRozan's defense Li Feng was also anxious, and he reached out directly and put his hand into Li Feng's arms.

This is a very low-level defensive mistake in the NBA, which violates the opponent's cylinder.

Li Feng naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, immediately raised his hands to Lu, and then threw the ball and shouted, easily deceiving DeRozan of a foul! The referee's whistle sounded, and DeRozan was very unconvinced and came over and yelled, yelling at the referee and at Li Feng.

This is the mentality of fighting is messed up again! This was at Madison Square Garden, just on the home court of the Knicks, and DeRozan's agitation could only be booed, and there was an additional technical foul from the referee.

All of a sudden, the Raptors lost a lot, they lost to their grandmother's house, Li Feng deceived DeRozan into a three-point free throw, and the referee blew another technical foul, which adds up to 4 points, if they are all shot, the Raptors will be very difficult!

At this time, DeRozan was still chirping crookedly over there, but Li Feng went to the free throw line, and at this time Li Feng knew that he had done it at the free throw line, and he could kill the opponent at the free throw line.

So at this time, Li Feng was quite cautious and cautious with three free throws, and hit all three free throws steadily, and then the technical foul was also a steady free throw.

The Knicks deceived the Raptors by 4 points in one round, which can be said to be a big harvest, so that the difference between the two teams was widened.

93-77, the Knicks led the Raptors by 16 points, and from leading by 10 points to leading by 16 points, it took the Knicks a few rounds and a minute or so.

In this way, the Raptors called a timeout, but instead of solving the problem, the problem was bigger, and at this time the Raptors also realized that they were too reckless, but at this time Michelle wanted to withdraw his fist. I can't get it back.

The Raptors usually play passion ball, but now the passion is gone, only anxiety, Michelle asks his players to calm down, and he can't calm down at all, his team is not a team that can always calm down.

The Raptors are starting to be uncalm, and Calderon's repeated advice on the side is not very effective.

The Raptors came over again, Calderon passed the ball to DeRozan, and DeRozan also forced his shot simply and rudely. As a result, he hit the Knicks' pile, and he himself made a mistake.

From the perspective of emotional intelligence, DeRozan is really lacking, DeRozan made a mistake here, and the Knicks immediately bit the Raptors' ass when they won the basketball.

Li Feng takes the ball here. The Raptors immediately organized a bag to put pressure on Li Feng, but it missed Cousins. Li Feng passes Cousins hard. Cousins, for his side, made an easy air-cut layup.

95-77, the Knicks are 18 points ahead of the Raptors, and the difference is getting bigger and bigger, running for 20 points.

Reggie Miller is a little anxious for the Raptors:

"The Raptors didn't play well today! A lot of balls that can be played more calmly and better have been broken, and the Raptors lost today, also because of their own mentality. ”

"And the Knicks' defense. If the Knicks' defense hadn't contained the Raptors from the start, the Raptors wouldn't be in the current state! ”

It was only the third quarter of the game, and Reggie Miller and Payton were a bit of a death sentence for the Raptors, a team that the Raptors can score. It's a bit strange to be sentenced to death so early, but it's not very strange to look at the current state of the Raptors.

In terms of state, the Raptors' mood today has gradually changed to like an anxious child, clearly breaking things, and still stubbornly persisting.

The Raptors conceded ball after ball, and Calderon, as an excellent point guard, came over and pressed the lineup strongly, trying to organize the half.

But just as he was focusing on the organization, Dragic risked his life to pounce on a man from behind and immediately knocked Calderón's ball down.

Calderon was broken by Dragic, Li Feng rushed over to get the ball, turned around and passed the ball to Belineri, who took the ball up and dribbled two steps to the Raptors' three-point line.

At this time, I saw that the basketball was still far away from the basket, but Li Feng had already flown up, took the ball far away and began to glide, and after gliding far away, Li Feng smashed the opponent's basket with an aerial relay.

Li Feng's air relay not only scored, but also caused a foul on Ed Davis, who retreated.

After Li Feng landed, Madison Square Garden was cheered by the audience, but DeRozan was angry and scolded and smashed the ball.

The Knicks came up in a wave, and the Raptors didn't come up in a wave, and the morale was completely suppressed.

Both teams are very attacking teams, and once they are in full swing, they can take each other away in one wave.

Now the Raptors can't break the Knicks' defense on offense, and the defense can't prevent the Knicks' waves, Li Feng played 2+1 this time, expanding the score to 21 points.

After the substitutes of the two teams came up, Kirilenko also seized the emotional weakness of the opponent and smashed two three-pointers in a row, smashing the Raptors out of breath at once.

Although the Raptors have strong offensive ability, their mood is bad, and the fourth quarter is getting worse and worse, and the more they play, the more uncomfortable they are, and in turn, the Knicks are comfortable, and the fourth quarter stretches the difference to about 25 points.

The second half of the fourth quarter turned into garbage time, and the Knicks defeated the Raptors by 129-103, 26 points.

The Raptors lost very unjustly today, and at the end of the game, DeRozan was angry and threw his headband into the players' tunnel.

Michelle shook his head, Calderon felt he should talk to his teammates.

Li Feng went to the sidelines to be interviewed by reporters, then entered the locker room to prepare a little and attended the press conference.

At the reception, reporters were trying to find gimmicks, and Li Feng also admitted his thoughts frankly at this time, neither shying away from sensitive issues, nor being guided by reporters.

At the press conference, Li Feng admitted that he was very happy to beat the Raptors and looked forward to meeting opponents in the playoffs, while Li Feng also believed that DeRozan had good potential and was a good opponent.

After Li Feng said this at the press conference, DeRozan felt that Li Feng was fake, and said to reporters:

"My good or bad! No need for my enemies to comment! ”

DeRozan is still a straight character. Li Feng also doesn't care what they think, do what he wants to do and say what he wants to say.

Not to mention the contradiction between Li Feng and DeRozan, in the Knicks' 26-point victory over the Raptors, 99% of the commentators and media in the United States and even the whole world believe that the Raptors are not good, and the only remaining 1% are also local media and commentators in Toronto.

Because, the Knicks won too easily against the Raptors, easily controlled the rhythm, and was no worse than the Raptors on offense, but the defense was one level better than the opponent.

These arguments, the media, and the commentators are saying that they are in order. But DeRozan and all the Raptors players felt that these words were not even as good as farts.

Two days later, the two teams will play another big game, again in Madison, with both teams playing two games at each other's home stadium in the Atlantic Division.

When the Raptors' players are accumulating and roaring. Michelle and his coaching staff are also in full swing to prepare tactically, with Calderon almost taking on the role of an assistant coach in the process. Came up with a lot of great ideas for the team.

Michelle is now growing fond of Calderón. He even had the idea of taking Calderón as an apprentice and letting him work as an assistant in the future.

While the Raptors were preparing intensively after the injury, the Knicks were also preparing nervously.

Tyberdu also has no slackness, is making adequate preparations, and at the same time coaches his players psychologically to be vigilant.

After just waiting for a day, the second game of the tournament continued to be played at Madison Square Garden.

Previously because the Knicks bloodied the Raptors. So today's broadcast changed TNT's second lineup, Anfernee Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning to explain today's game, but there are a lot of fans from Madison Square Garden today, after all, the home team bloodied other teams. Fans of the home team will love it.

Before the game, the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden seemed relaxed, the fans were laughing, and the Knicks players were very relaxed.

Although the Knicks are still very careful and unremitting, but they washed the opponent in the last game, and they will naturally be more relaxed this time.

At this time, Hardaway in the commentary seat said:

"In the last game, as we all know, the Knicks bloodied the Raptors, and the Raptors lost badly! So do you see the real strength of the two teams? ”

At the beginning, Hardaway asked a question to his partner, and Mourning thought for a moment and said:

"It's basically a reflection of the strength of both teams! From any point of view, the Knicks are stronger than the Raptors, although the Raptors are extremely talented, but they are still not integrated, and the overall strength of the Knicks must be stronger than the Raptors! ”

"And the most important thing is that the Knicks' style is very restrained by the Raptors, the Knicks can do what the Raptors can do, but what the Knicks can do, the Raptors can't do!"

This point of view is almost the evaluation of the strength of the two teams by the general media and experts, and Stephen is just picking up people's teeth and wisdom when he says it at this time.

Hardaway nodded at this time, and also said:

"Indeed, the Knicks have a clear advantage! If the two teams have a similar style, it will be easier to separate the top and bottom. ”

Hardaway also agrees with the mainstream view, and at this time the lineups of the two teams came out, with point guard Dragic on the Knicks' side, scoring guard Belineri, small forward Li Feng, power forward Monroe, and center Cousins.

On the Raptors' side are point guard Calderon, scoring guard DeMar DeRozan, small forward Terrence Ross, power forward Ed Davis, and center Amir Johnson.

The two teams are unchanged, the lineup is first and foremost stable, and the current starting state in the lineup of the two teams may not be the best, but it is indeed the most stable state.

The Raptors just adjusted the position of Rose and DeRozan, let Rose and Li Feng face each other, and DeRozan avoided his edge.

At the beginning of the game, Cousins and Amir Johnson went to the free throw line, and this time it was the Raptors who got the ball first.

Calderon still steadied the advance, and when Calderon pushed in, the Raptors still had a lot of space, Ed Davis and Amir Johnson went to the top of the arc together to respond, and then the players on both sides pulled the bottom corner away.

In this case, the Raptors still passed the basketball to the big man first, and then DeRozan suddenly ran up from the bottom corner to get the ball, which is very familiar with the Knicks, and the Raptors played at least a few of them in the last game.

So the Knicks followed the habit of the last game, and when they defended DeRozan in the past, they watched DeRozan take the ball and pass it to Ed Davis.

Ed Davis had no one to defend in front of him, he didn't have the ability to shoot, and the Knicks generally didn't defend him, so at this time, Ed Davis took advantage of this opportunity to dribble to the Knicks near the restricted area and threw a very flat throw.

The basketball easily fell into the opponent's basket, and the Raptors scored 2 points in the opening game.

When he scored these two points, Director Zhang, who was commenting on the game in China, immediately said:

"Today's Raptors' routine is the same as before, but it's different! In the past, DeRozan used to play this routine as the main offense, but now Ed Davis has become the offensive direction, so with the same routine, the Knicks can't stop it. ”

The Raptors use role players to score points at the beginning, this scoring method is actually not new, in the playoffs, everyone has a large limit on the opponent's main force, in this case, this kind of situation often relies on role players to score to control the game.

Unless the odd soldier is very prominent, the game still depends on the main lineup, the game is the war, and it is the backbone that determines the victory of the war, not the cold arrow. (To be continued......)
