Chapter 390: Hope

(Revised later)

DeLong dribbled the ball across the half court and wanted to hand it to Anthony who had entered the low post. Li Feng, who had been defending, suddenly took a step forward, slapped the ball down, and then jumped up before going out of bounds, saving the ball back to Rose.

Rose waited for Li Feng to get up and slowly dribbled across the halfcourt.

He passed Monroe first, and Monroe gave it to Li Feng. Li Feng caught the ball and shook it outside the three-point line, pretending to shoot three points, Anthony took a step forward, raised his hand to interfere, and Li Feng immediately held the ball and passed.

Anthony usually doesn't take fake moves so easily, but now that he is 4 points behind, Li Feng likes to grab shots in this situation, and if he hits the Nets, it will be miserable. At this time, Joe Johnson was on the baseline, and there was only David Lee under the basket.

Li Feng took three steps with the ball, jumped up with all his strength, and posed for a dunk with the ball in one hand, David Li was ruthless, jumped up and pressed his hands to Li Feng's shoulders, ready to foul him fiercely and pull him down. Li Feng jumped sideways, in order to change his moves for convenience.

As soon as David Lee jumped, he immediately shrank back, the ball was withdrawn and turned into both hands to hold the ball, and the ball was thrown to the basket with his backhand, and the person also lost his balance.

When he landed, Li Feng did a very good job of protecting him, and his hand gently slid backwards to offset the momentum.

Although the fall of the butt still hurts a little, it will not hurt seriously. The ball didn't go in, and the referee whistled for a foul on David Lee.

There is a suspicion of a malicious foul in this ball, but Li Feng is not injured, and it is very critical at this time, it is the star who fouled, and this penalty is likely to determine the outcome of the game, and the referee will not blow it, leaving the Nets with hope of winning. Li Feng hit both free throws.

119 to 113. Next, the two sides played two irons, the Nets accelerated the pace of offense, and the Knicks took advantage of the situation to counterattack, but they couldn't score, and it wasn't until the last 59 seconds that the Nets hit a three-point jumper by Joe Johnson.

119 to 116.

The Knicks didn't call a timeout, and the throw-in was taken. Rose possessed the ball over half court, Li Feng pulled to the perimeter to receive the ball, teammates pulled away, creating a one-on-one opportunity for him, and the defender was of course Anthony. This goal was scored, and the Knicks' lead was consolidated, even if the Nets scored the next offense, they were at a disadvantage and had to use foul tactics.

If it doesn't go in, the Nets still have hope of turning the tables. Li Feng controlled the rhythm at the top of the arc and slowly counted the time. The way to attack has been figured out.

In the last five seconds, he accelerated with the ball, entered the three-point line from the right side, leaned his back against Anthony, used his left foot as the axis, pulled the ball up with a sharp stop, took a step towards the baseline with his right foot, and then retracted and turned in the opposite direction, raising his right leg.

Anthony didn't eat the first feint. Seeing Li Feng turn back, he hurriedly jumped up and sealed it. Li Feng didn't jump, and there were only two seconds left in the time, and he dared to fake it. This greatly surprised Anthony and fooled him. Li Feng's judgment of time was extremely accurate, and when he saw Anthony jumping, he hit it on one side. Throw the ball with a long hook.

The referee blows the whistle. This chaotic shot actually went in!

There were only 34 seconds left, and Li Feng played 2+1. There was a sigh in the audience, and some people simply applauded Li Feng. This goal is equivalent to a death sentence for the Nets.

Li Feng also hit a free throw, 122-116, and the score expanded to 6 points again. Anthony quickly took the ball across the front court and passed it to Joe Johnson, who took the ball and shot the ball.

The rebound was picked up by Cousins. With just a dozen seconds left, the Nets simply gave up the foul.

Cousins passed the ball to Rose, who possessed the ball and spent the most time behind. The Knicks won away from home and the overall score became 3-2.

In the last quarter, Li Feng scored 18 points and was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

He had 48 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, beating Anthony's big triple-double of 24 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists.

Regarding the game, the media hyped Li Feng's steadiness at the end of the third game, saying that he led the team to win by himself, making Anthony's triple-double useless, and the championship is still inconclusive, but there seems to be no doubt that Li Feng is stronger than Anthony and others. If the Nets lose again in the fourth game, the Knicks will win the match point, and the people who originally thought that the Nets might win the championship also felt that they were more than lucky, and they were not as much of a threat to the Knicks as the team in the West, and the Spurs, Lakers and other teams in the West were also star lineups, and the interior was much stronger than the Nets.

In the confrontation with Lopez and David Lee, Cousins and Monroe did not fall behind, otherwise the Nets would have no chance at all. The Knicks dare to cultivate people, not arrogant, but have the strength, as long as the inside twin towers and Li Feng are there, they can complete the combination of inside and outside, and the combination of inside and outside is one of the strongest tactics in basketball, and a team composed of a super inside line and a super outside line is often more powerful than a team composed of several swingman stars, just like the Lakers "OK combination" back then, or the Houston Rockets' "big dream" Olajuwon and "glider".

The Knicks led 3-2, got the match point, and moved to the home court of the Brooklyn Nets in Game 6, and the referee team of this game was really full of big names: Dick Bavita, the oldest qualified whistle in the NBA, McMatis, the most strict whistle-blowing killer, and Joseph Joy Crawford, the big bald head who sent the most technical fouls!

This trio is exquisite, Bavita is over sixty years old, he is very old in the NBA, and many big stars sell him face because he is the leader of the referee team and has a moody personality.

For example, this season, Kobe Bryant chatted with the old referee before a game, and said that he would give his grandson a few signed jerseys, everything seemed harmonious, but it only took two quarters for Bavita to send Kobe Bryant off the court, five fouls + one technical foul.

After the game, Bavitato went to Kobe Bryant to ask for a jersey, and the red-eyed Kobe almost took a fire axe to chop the old referee.

When the street ball king Alston landed in the NBA, he performed the famous stunt 'Cloud Walk' in the first game, and the fans were intoxicated, but Mathis immediately gave a whistle: You walk!

Alston made another street-like change of direction and a stumbling step, and Mathis gave another whistle: You are still walking! Alston ate five or six steps in that game, and when he was replaced by the head coach at the end of the game, he couldn't walk anymore, for fear that taking a step would be a step.

As for Uncle Crawford, this man has more ghosts under the whistle, such as Tim with a very big card. Duncan, Deng Shifo sat on the bench and laughed. Then he ate Crawford's technical foul, and whenever he recalled that moment, the stone Buddha would always sigh leisurely, and then say: Crawford is bald, I bought your mother's watch.

As soon as Bavita's whistle blew, the starters of the two teams ran onto the field, and no one dared to delay, and none of the referees could be offended.

The Nets' lineup is still the same, and the Knicks have sent Cousins, Monroe, Li Feng, Harden, and Rose to the most regular lineup.

Cousins bouncing on the halfway line. He is not afraid of anyone with a jump ball, with bounce, bounce speed, and arm span.

Lopez is also holding his breath and must hit the Knicks hard from the beginning to the end. Bavita didn't say anything, just pointed at Lopez and Li Feng, the two of them were willing to bow down and be like cows, and they didn't dare to let a fart go.

However, Lopez was a little too involved, and Bavita threw the ball up, and he jumped late, allowing Cousins to steal the ball.

Rose advances with the ball. Facing DeLong, he turned his head to look at his teammates and rushed forward with a sharp acceleration.

Delon stepped back quickly, but Rose took two steps and stopped. Delon had no choice but to stop, and then, Rose sped up again, passing him like that. Directly into the interior of the Nets.

Seeing this, Lopez was angry and just wanted to scold what this was for, he could only come out to make up for it, when he took a step. The ball in Rose's hand immediately flew to the hoop.

Uncle Cousins can do this, he screamed as if someone had exploded a chrysanthemum, his fat body jumped straight, and he grabbed the ball with both hands and came to an air relay.

DeLong played very steadily, Rose deliberately approached him to trick him into breaking through and then stealing no chance at all, and after Lopez landed on the inside, he sent the ball in steadily.

Cousins saw that his interference was useless, and as soon as Lopez got the ball, he quickly turned to the back, reached out and stuck the opponent and pushed it out.

Lopez leaned his back on Uncle Cousins to lift the ball, turned his head and sneered:

"DeMarcus, I'll you!"

Uncle Cousins didn't say a word, and his arm suddenly pushed Lopez outward. The latter snorted, brushed the ball with his right hand and turned around against the opponent's body, stepped across the distance, the ball in his hand was brought forward, his right leg stuck the opponent, and he jumped up to throw.

Cousins jumped up with a 'whoosh', his arm span stretched wide and slapped the ball in Lopez's hand viciously.

Lopez was taken aback by his speed and defensive awareness, and hurriedly threw his shot, but the wrist was a little heavy, and the ball bounced off the neck of the basket and bounced out.

Li Feng pushed Anthony away from the side and rushed to the basket, jumped up with a roar, and picked the rebound ball into his arms.

"Attack!"

In the opening 4-0, the Knicks played with momentum, and Li Feng assisted Harden to make a layup and turned around and waved his arms, and he was in high spirits for a while.

The muscles on Lopez's angry face twitched, and this time it was Cousins' turn to sneer:

"If you want to me, I'm afraid I'll be raped!"

This is not a lie, when Cousins is focused on defense, it is not easy for Li Feng to score past him.

Deron Williams dribbled across half court as Rose stepped back two steps away, looking warily over his shoulder to guard against his breakaway.

Delon's breakthrough is very threatening, Anthony and David Lee came to cover at this time, as long as he does not face Li Feng, Anthony is always as brave as a tiger, he pushes the door from the penalty area to the three-point line and runs back, DeLong passes the ball to him, Anthony gets the ball and jumps directly, and sends the ball into the basket steadily outside the three-point line.

Monroe waved his hand in annoyance, and Li Feng passed the ball to him after the inside line was settled, and he yelled at Anthony:

"It's okay, I'll deal with him!"

With Li Feng supporting, Monroe had the bottom of his heart, and in the face of David Lee, he quickly bounced up and sent the ball out with shaking hands.

David Lee also reacted quickly enough, and he jumped first when his opponent moved, although he didn't block the ball. But he believed it was never going to go in.

David Lee guessed right.

The ball didn't go in, and Monroe didn't plan to shoot from a distance at all, but chose to pass the ball.

Rose used his speed to shake off Deron and run out of space. Monroe's ball happened to pass into his hand, and Rose didn't even look at the ball, and threw the ball behind him with a shake of his hand.

The basketball landed accurately in Li Feng's hands with a straight trajectory.

At this time, Li Feng happened to be stuck with Anthony in the basket.

His feet fell, and the ball reached his head.

Li Feng grabbed the ball with one hand, raised his right arm and soared into the sky, and dunked the ball into the hoop with a 'boom'.

In TNT's live broadcast room, Barkley grinned and shouted:

"God, look at this Derek pass! NO-LOOK-PASS! Ha Lu Ha. Kenny, did you see Elwin's shadow? ”

Smith rolled his eyes helplessly and said:

"Are you blind, Charles? Ross did a beautiful job. He treated the Nets' defense like an empty Gully Avenue. You can go as you want, what a good guy! ”

The two old men in the TNT live broadcast room were praising Rose, and the Nets players on the court couldn't wait to eat this guy.

Deron passed the ball to David Lee, and Rose jumped up to intercept the ball, and after landing on the ground, he sped forward.

None of the players on the floor of the Nets were speedy, and they just watched him rush into the frontcourt box to score a layup, expanding the score to 8-3 in one fell swoop.

Nets coach Avery Johnson shook his head. Reached out for a timeout,

"Let go of their center, wrap Li Feng, OK? Here and here, don't get out of the way."

Avery Johnson kept scribbling with the tactical board, outlining the tactical lines, and the Nets players gathered around and listened to his arrangement.

Tyberdu is also arranging a change of formation:

"Derek, surprise them a little. Show them that you're not just passing the ball. Li Feng, the second set of lineups, you do the feint point. They certainly can't imagine that that's it, GO, GO, GO! ”

Both sides just changed their tactics and didn't make any substitutions. It's still the original team fighting.

Delon faithfully carried out Avery Johnson's orders, dribbling the ball to the front court and passing it to Lopez on the inside.

Cousins and Lopez tangled, with the latter squeezing sideways to the basket with the ball. Cousins didn't give an inch, hitting three times in a row, and Lopez suddenly stepped back and made a jumper.

Cousins didn't have time to react, the two were too close to the hoop, and the ball just popped into the frame.

Rose quickly advanced to the front court and then passed the ball to Harden in the bottom corner, who stepped past Joe Johnson with lightning speed!

David Li next to him shouted angrily and blocked the bottom line, destroying Harden's breakthrough to the fullest, and when the latter saw him come out, he immediately threw the ball into the interior and gave it to Li Feng.

After Li Feng got the ball, he turned around directly, Lopez came up from the flank, and Anthony surrounded Li Feng one by one, who took advantage of the fact that the encirclement between the two did not close, found a gap and passed the ball out, just to give the vacant Rose.

Rose took the ball and stabilized his figure, Deron lunged at him, and then Rose jumped sideways, avoiding his opponent while aiming for the hoop and shooting, and hit with one hit!

Avery Johnson nodded quietly, and then watched Lopez swing his fist vigorously, seeing his action, Lopez had a bright and hideous smile on his face.

Delon went to the front court to hand the ball to Lopez, and the others cheered and scattered, and Anthony and David Lee both ran out of the three-point line, so that Lopez and Cousins were left in the box.

Li Feng and others can only follow out of the road, and the Nets except for Lopez, everyone else has a beautiful mid-to-long-range shooting kung fu.

Facing Cousins alone, Lopez is full of confidence, after all, he is one of the few technical centers in the league, with a variety of attacking methods, and he singled Cousins with his back for three seconds, he turned around and broke through with the ball inside, Cousins could only retreat to chase the defense, for which Lopez got up directly and shot the ball with a hook hand.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball burrowed into the hoop.

Tyberdu frowned and looked at the court, feeling a little bad.

In the next few rounds, the Nets will pull away when they attack, allowing Lopez to single Cousins on the inside.

Uncle Cousins' defense today is indeed excellent, but Lopez, who wants to prevent death and is now at his peak, is a bit of a fool's dream, and there is no way, Tabberdu has to let Li Feng and Cousins switch defenses.

Lopez got the ball again, he faced Li Feng, he still bumped backwards with his back to Li Feng, but the opponent not only did not move, but forced him back two steps. David Lee used mobility to run out of the open space with the help of Anthony's cover, Lopez passed the ball decisively, the opponent got the ball and attacked the basket, and when Li Feng didn't have time to make up for the defense, he made a jump shot and scored two more points.

Tyberdu looked up at the score, with the visitors behind and the Knicks holding a slight lead. Seeing this, he still called a timeout, and most of the first quarter had passed, and at this time some weapons could be revealed.

"Sergi, replace DeMarcus! JR, you came on for James, do you know what I mean? Boost your outside attack firepower! Li Feng, your positioning remains the same, save physical strength, attract the bag and then divide the ball, understand? ”

Taberduli shouted.

The Knicks players nodded, ready to step onto the court again.

Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice:

"I know some of you are playing the playoffs for the first time, guys, but that doesn't be an excuse for us to fail! Is it the first time you do it and you don't care if you win or lose? No! I don't want to see that! Listen to me, if you can't, then I'll do it myself, and then I'll be the only Knicks hero! ”

Harden swings his fist:

"No, every one of us is a hero, we just need to adjust our form!"

He turned to look at J.R. Smith and admonished,

"JR, go up and teach those bitches a lesson and let them know that victory is always in our hands!"

Smith, who had always been excited, nodded heavily, his body trembling slightly, not in fear, but in excitement. (To be continued......)
