Volume 1 Glimpse of Fierce Light Chapter 293 15 consecutive victories against the Clippers
The Thunder and Knicks are both rising star powerhouses that have rebounded from the bottom in recent years, and this game attracted the attention of the media after the game
"Tyrannosaurus Rex is mighty, Knicks are fierce"
The New York Times focuses on the Knicks' overall opponent ability, aside from Li Feng's personal scoring, the Knicks' firepower is still very strong, James Harden has a faint tendency to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly this season, his breakthrough is a perfect combination of rhythm and body, some people say that Harden is a tough version of Brandon Roy, Derrick Rose's scoring ability does not need to be doubted, although he didn't shoot a lot when he came to the Knicks, but judging from Wei Shao's being blown up by him, as long as the other Knicks players don't play well, Rose will definitely be able to stand up, The combination of Harden and Ross is already terrifying, and with a Li Feng who can cut down 50+60+ at any time, the Knicks' firepower is too fierce.
"Li Feng beats Durant, and the Knicks are catching up with the Bulls of the year"
The Washington Post saw the game as the Knicks' transformation from a league powerhouse to a team of an era.
Since the Lakers OK combination, there is no team in the league that can defend the title, this year's Knicks compared to last year, although Matthews, Thornton and others, but got Derrick Rose, who is still on the rise, and JR Smith, who is at his peak, plus Kirilenko, the Knicks' starting lineup is all super strong young people, the strength of the Knicks is no longer limited to this year, if the stability of the lineup can be maintained, the Knicks are likely to create a dynasty, just like the Bulls back then.
"Soaring 122 points, the fierce beast Thor staged a scoring battle"
The New York Post, on the other hand, is looking at the scores of the two scorers of both teams in this game, and they believe that neither team is a team that neglects defense, but they both have a group of talented attackers, in this case. Li Feng and Durant both scored 66 and 56 points respectively, which is really staggering.
"The beast striker is unstoppable. James Durant may be the Miller Barkley of the past"
The New York Chronicle is still happy to discuss Li Feng's record.
Although Li Feng did not break his 80-point record in this game, the author of the article found an important reality, that is, Li Feng, who is only in the third year of the league, still has a long career, Kobe's 81 points and Chamberlain's 100 points are likely to be ancient, if Li Feng continues to maintain such a crazy state, then many stars in the league may become the background, after all, the era of Michael Jordan's reign, Stockton, Malone, Barkley, Miller and a large number of other superstars have become stepping stones for the Flyers. Now it seems that this situation will be repeated, LeBron James flew to Miami and still couldn't stop Li Feng, who was swept by Li Feng in the playoffs for two consecutive years. Durant was scored 66 points in front of Li Feng. In the future, who can still oppose Li Feng?
This report from the New York Chronicle caused an uproar throughout the Union. Because most of the media and fans have only noticed how Li Feng will behave in front of Durant. There will be some fight between the two, but I didn't expect that Li Feng would score such a high score of 66 points.
The newspaper also cited the scores of a large number of super-scorers such as Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Dantley, Ingrid, Elgin Baylor and others in the first few years of entering the league, and the conclusions reached are striking, judging by the data. At the same age, only Chamberlain can be compared with Li Feng.
For the approach of the media. Li Feng didn't care, what he currently cared about was how long the Knicks' winning streak would last.
With the victory over the Thunder, the Knicks have won 11 in a row, and they have even more ferocious momentum after beating the Thunder.
After an 11-game winning streak against the Thunder, the Knicks got 1 day off. Next up against the Sacramento Kings is the Knicks without any pressure.
Last summer, the Knicks got Cousins from the Kings and formed a twin tower with Monroe, judging from Cousins' performance now, the Kings have regretted dying, but if Cousins is in the Kings, his lazy and Beasley-like personality can really play at the level he is today, Li Feng is very skeptical.
The Kings' current strength is Thompson and Hickson who was traded from the Cavaliers, small forward Salmons, scoring guard is the leading team Terrick Evans, and point guard is Thomas, the No. 60 rookie this year.
In fact, Thompson and Hickson are both very good young people, Thompson's prospects were better than McGee and others, but when the Kings didn't play, Evans became more and more mediocre after his rookie year.
The Knicks played very easily, Li Feng only played 20 minutes, cut 15 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Derrick Rose in this outburst, both Thomas Jr. and Evans were beaten by him, cutting 44 points and 10 assists, showing proud scoring ability for the first time in the Knicks.
After the victory over the Kings, the Knicks took on the Bobcats at home.
The Bobcats are undergoing a big change this season, with veteran coach Larry Brown resigning.
The team's roster has seriously regressed and has no hope of making the playoffs.
Last season they gave Tyson Chandler to the Mavericks almost for nothing, letting Felton go, and Jordan said there were trades after that, all to save money and send players whose contracts are about to expire.
Although Jordan promised to keep Gerald Wallace, Wallace was sent to the Trail Blazers for nothing.
Facing the mighty Knicks again, the Bobcats lost by 30 points and the Knicks won 13 in a row.
The Raptors have improved this season and are expected to make the playoffs.
Banjani averaged 19 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game, a lot better than last season.
But he is a player who is excellent defensively both in the starting Monroe and on the bench, and if he switches to small forward, he is against Li Feng and Kirilenko, so that in this game, Banjani shot 4 of 22 and scored only 11 points, and the Raptors were slaughtered by the Knicks with 25 points.
The Knicks are on a 14-game winning streak.
The recent schedule has been very favorable for the Knicks.
After that, they defeated the Hornets and Suns at home, and the Hornets were on the verge of rebuilding and had no intention of fighting. The Suns can't cause any trouble for the Knicks right now.
Without Stoudeyer, Nash can still contribute 15 points and 11 assists per game, leading the team to a beautiful game. But it's hard for the Suns to make the playoffs.
Tekoglu's form continued to decline after his transfer to the Suns, averaging only 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game. There is no way to make up for the vacancy of the No. 4 position after the departure of Stadameyer, and the two are not the same type at all.
The Suns manager had also hoped to trade Serge Ibaka or Cousins with the Knicks. As long as they can get one of them, the Suns are willing to send any player other than Nash for the Knicks to pick up.
In this way, the deal was not reached, and the Suns had no one that the Knicks could fancy except for Nash, and it was all rotten contracts.
After playing a few fish belly, the Knicks, who have won 16 consecutive games, hosted the Spurs, and Duncan was defended by the Knicks' forward wheels, and only got 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. The best players were Leonard and George Hill, who scored 16 and 17 points respectively, and the Knicks won 116-102.
After this game, the New York Knicks' winning streak has reached 15 games.
At this time, the Knicks ushered in a dark horse team - not the Warriors. Not the Nets. It's the Knicks.
The Knicks have moved closer to the top four in the West this season with a lineup of DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Butler, Crawford and Eric Gordon, with recent news. Queen Bee Chris Paul will join the Knicks.
Griffin saw Li Feng and said nothing with a cold face.
The two didn't face each other much last season, with Monroe being Griffin's main rival.
Negro is worried about the Knicks attacking the interior, and Griffin has a good dunk, but in terms of overall strength, it is not as good as the Rain Man Kemp or Chris Webber, who just entered the league. Defense is even weaker, and it is only habitually or emotionally ignored because of dunks. Li Feng enjoyed the cheers of the audience. What he thought in his heart was that he hoped that the Knicks would play better, so that he could play a little longer, after all, Griffin always thought that he was the champion, and he was better than Li Feng. When winning becomes a habit, the Knicks have a mental advantage over any team.
The longer the winning streak, the greater the psychological pressure on the opponent during the match. With one or the other, it's easier for the Knicks to win.
Monroe didn't start in this game, not because of his state and strength, but because the Knicks were too strong, giving other players a chance on the one hand, and making reasonable physical arrangements on the other.
The big forward is Li Feng, and the small forward is caught by Kirilenko.
Cousins continued to take on the task of jumping the ball, and it didn't matter if he lost, but it was a post-offense.
Jordan flicked the ball to Gordon and the game began.
Ross and Gordon have also faced each other many times in the past few years and are familiar with everything about each other.
To defend Gordon, watch out for his outside shots and fouls.
Rose followed the defense all the way, and Gordon took it to the front court and crossed it to Butler, who ran out of the line.
The latter took the ball and turned to break through, leaned his back against Kirilenko, and turned around in one step inside the three-point line to make a quick stop jump shot.
Butler is good at jumpers, and he is very accurate at dry pulling, and he may score if he can't cover it.
Kirilenko was very concentrated, but he still jumped slowly, and the ball drew a perfect arc and hollowed into the net.
0 to 2
The baseline ball was issued, Rose dribbled the ball through the half, and Li Feng pulled to the high post to receive the ball.
Tyberdu's arrangement of Li Feng to play as a power forward is also targeted, Griffin was also a champion back then, with good physical fitness, he has strength and strength, and his bounce is also very good.
Li Feng took the ball and withdrew from the outside line and turned to the frame, and everyone else pulled away.
He turned his head to the left with the ball in his hands and dribbled with his left hand. Griffin's body moved slightly sideways, he dribbled the ball under his left crotch and changed direction with his right hand, broke through from the right side, passed Griffin with lightning speed, and rushed straight to the inside, Jordan could only let go of Cousins' supplemental defense.
At this time, the best choice was to pass Cousins and let him shoot in the open position, but Li Feng wanted to make a foul and chose to attack. He jumped up with the ball in his right hand and crashed into Jordan.
This is looking for a foul, Jordan can't dodge if he wants to, he stepped on a reasonable line to hit the zone, and he could only choose to jump.
Jordan was a little hesitant, and the coach specifically instructed the players to pay attention to foul control before going on the court.
But now that he is making up for it, if he doesn't foul, Li Feng will definitely be a violent dunk.
The arrow had to be sent, Jordan saw Li Feng make a move to dunk, jumping higher than himself, so he pulled Li Feng in the air, and the referee's whistle sounded.
Li Feng lost his balance, and the ball was still in his hand. Lean forward and swing back with the ball in your right hand. With the force of the back swing, he threw the ball out of the backhand, yes. It is to throw out the lung, if you use the lever at this time, or other shooting actions, it is easy to get injured, and the gains outweigh the losses, Li Feng chose the best way to shoot in a short time. The other person flew off the baseline, but the ball flew to the basket and scored in the cricket.
When he landed, Li Feng gently supported it with his left hand, counteracting the momentum. Unscathed.
Jordan froze in place, completely unable to figure out how the ball was thrown, and the fans in the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Li Feng hit a free throw. 3 to 2.
The replay was played several times on the screen. The "magician" Johnson in the commentary seat sighed:
"This ball is really a stroke of genius, how did he come up with the idea of throwing it this way?"
Van Gundy laughed:
"It's like magic."
The Knicks offense, the Knicks are man-to-man. Griffin blocked and dismantled, and Li Feng switched to Gordon who broke through.
Gordon often scores inside and averaged a career-high 23 points per game last season, but he didn't dare to go straight to the top against Li Feng.
It was passed to Butler, who was cut in the air, and Butler dodged Kirilenko's layup but missed.
Jordan pulled Cousins out of the box, and Griffin took the lead inside after the pick-and-roll. grabbed the rebound in the front court, and Li Feng immediately posted it. Griffin shook under the basket twice, and Li Feng didn't jump, just raised his hand to interfere. He didn't want to foul, so he didn't want to jump, and Griffin's two feints were in vain.
Griffin didn't want to shake off the pass, so he wanted to dunk with both hands. His knee bent so badly that Li Feng saw that Griffin was about to jump, so he chose to jump up and block, and the timing was just right to knock the ball off Griffin's hand.
The ball was picked up by Gordon and then split outside Butler.
Butler received the ball and shook it and then pulled up a jumper, the ball was knocked off by Kirilenko during the jump, the referee blew the whistle and awarded a foul on the beater, and Butler went to the free throw line.
Van Gundy commented:
"Li Feng's defensive awareness is fantastic, and he calculates the shooting time very accurately. His individual defense and help defense are top-notch. ”
Johnson laughed:
"Yes, compared to LeBron, Li Feng is really better."
Butler made both free throws. 3 to 4.
On the offensive end, the Knicks changed their strategy, and Cousins pulled out to block and dismantle, allowing Li Feng to play against Jordan, who had committed a foul.
If there is another foul, Jordan should go down and rest, and his defense will be affected to avoid fouling.
Li Feng dribbled the ball into the inside line from the right side and took the ball with his back on the penalty line. Harden in the bottom corner suddenly shook off Crawford and cut inside, Li Feng sent the ball over, Harden slipped the bottom line into the restricted area for a layup, Jordan didn't dare to reach out, and accidentally committed two fouls. Harden pulls up the bar and goes back to the basketball.
5 to 4.
Butler catches the ball and turns around and makes a jumper again.
5 to 6. The Knicks played simply and effectively, and Butler's touch came, and no one could prevent it.
Li Feng went to the high post to receive the ball again, this time Griffin was one and a half steps away, and the main defense broke through.
Li Feng stepped back and stepped out of the three-point line, holding the ball with both hands and shaking it, Griffin hurriedly came up closely, and now as soon as he was close, Li Feng passed the ball to Rose again.
Rose handed it to Cousins who pulled out the outside line, Jordan followed, Cousins didn't have a chance to shoot, Li Feng ran over to catch the ball, and found a block, Griffin followed very closely, did not change the defense, and bypassed the chase from behind Cousins.
24 seconds of offensive time has passed a lot, Li Feng chose to break through with the ball, dribble under the crotch and hand the ball to his left hand, probe his left shoulder and pretend to break through the bottom line, as soon as Griffin moved, he handed the ball back to his right hand to change direction.
Griffin is not a person who is good at defending breaks, and his ability to defend breakaways is not as good as Butler's outside line, and he relies on his body.
His lateral movement is fast among the interior players, twisting his body and then following the right side, fast is not necessarily a good thing, Li Feng changed direction again, dribbled under the crotch and then handed the ball to the left hand to break through the bottom line.
Griffin was nearly shaken.
Jordan followed Cousins to the outside, the inside line was empty, Li Feng started the performance, turned 360 degrees with the ball in one hand and dunked the ball in!
7 to 6.
The ball climaxed again, and the MVP shouted in the stadium. Scoring this kind of goal in a game is very morale-boosting and easy to irritate the opponent.
Griffin's angry eyes were on fire and ready to return one, this was an insult, Griffin never thought he was inferior to Li Feng, he wanted to prove that he was a tough guy, but if he wanted to show toughness in front of Li Feng, he would be unlucky.
Before the game, Li Feng spent time studying the Clippers' game footage. In addition to the open cut and mid-range shot, Griffin is usually good at two types of low-post offense.
These two ways can allow him to score some points, and sometimes he can also get 20+. But that's against ordinary insiders, not including Li Feng.
On the offensive end. Griffin ran to the low post to ask for the ball, Gordon passed to Butler, who was defended by Kirilenko and had no good chance, so he hung it to Griffin, Griffin leaned his back against Li Feng and shook it to the middle, Li Feng didn't take a feint, he didn't resist hard, and took a small step back. Leave room for take-offs.
Griffin immediately turned to the baseline, and Li Feng blocked his breakthrough route.
By this time, Griffin had already taken a step into the box, very close to the basket, and he took the ball with both hands and turned to the middle. One-handed toss.
This move is high. It is not easy to be capped.
After Li Feng watched the video, he knew that the probability of shooting after Doug Griffin turned to the middle accounted for 70%, and immediately jumped with all his strength, and a sturdy big hat fanned the ball out!
Rose picks up the basketball and launches a fast break. Three on three in the frontcourt, Rose passed to Harden, who broke through under the interference of Crawford and had no chance to give it to Kirilenko, Kirilenko grabbed a three-point shot and missed, Butler took the rebound and passed to Crawford. The Knicks switched from defense to offense.
Crawford passed to Gordon, who stepped past Ross to the inside. Griffin pulled from the low post to the perimeter, making way for space. Gordon held the ball with his right hand and shook it in Griffin's direction, pulled the ball back and chose to make a layup.
Li Feng didn't eat Gordon's feints, and immediately let go of Griffin to make up for the defense.
Gordon didn't expect him to follow up with him and go to the basket with his low hand. Li Feng jumped up behind him, slapped the ball heavily on the rebound, and popped out of the penalty area.
Both the audience and the commentators were amazed, and Li Feng blocked it for the third time.
Before the offense was over, Crawford picked up the ball, Harden defended it, and he distributed it to Griffin on the weak side.
Griffin was covered twice, saying that he was going to score a face-saving goal and take the ball to the basket.
After Li Feng blocked Gordon, he was under the basket, and he saw Griffin rushing over and waiting for him, it seemed that he was not ready to pass the ball.
Griffin held the ball with both hands and jumped up to dunk with all his might, and Li Feng also jumped up, raising his hands high, like a volleyball blocking the net.
The two of them took off at about the same time, and the height Li Feng slightly won a palm. The two faced off in the air, like a western cowboy who drew a gun and duel, and decided the winner in an instant.
Li Feng's hands pressed on the basketball, and the upper limb strength competition was won!
Griffin lost his balance and fell backwards, landing unsteadily on one leg and falling to the ground. Li Feng not only stood on the ground, but also took the ball down, almost grabbing his hat.
"Ahh Yes! ”
Some fans at the scene were so excited that they could only shout.
Li Feng held the ball in his arms, stabilized the situation, and did not rush to attack quickly.
Van Gundy shouted:
"It's a hat grab! Li Feng also had such a performance in the first two seasons, he was so crazy, the game had just started, and he had already covered four caps, three of which were given to Griffin, look at Griffin's depressed expression! ”
Johnson sighed:
"He's really good at blocking, and these few times the defense is very morale-boosting."
The Knicks attacked the position, handed it to Li Feng, and singled Griffin. Griffin was a little stupid just now, Li Feng turned around and passed him, cut into the inside, Jordan followed Cousins out of the outside, and couldn't make up the defense.
Butler let go of Kirilenko to make up for the basket, and Li Feng chose to pass the ball to Kirilenko in the bottom corner.
Kirilenko took a look at the vacancy before making a shot, and threw it steadily.
10 to 6.
On the offensive end, Griffin didn't dare to play hard.
Gordon received the ball from the outside and passed to Butler, and the Clippers didn't cooperate much, mainly relying on individual ability.
Gordon's organizational skills are actually not too strong, and in his career-high season, he only had 7 assists, and the Clippers mainly relied on Butler's offense to attract defensive points and interspersed runs without ball cover. After a couple of passes, Jordan hit Rose in a misplaced high post and scored on a jumper. 10 to 8.
After playing for a few minutes, Li Feng found that his hand was not good, and his three mid-range shots were missed, and the Knicks switched to Harden and Cousins to block and attack, and Li Feng cut and ran in the air, looking for opportunities to wait for his teammates to pass.
The Clippers were stunned by Li Feng's several big hats, and the interior offense could not be opened, mainly relying on the outside shots of Butler and Gordon.
The two sides reached a stalemate, and the Clippers and Knicks were tied at 28-28 in the first quarter.
Li Feng scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, and his performance was comprehensive. Butler scored 15 points in a single quarter and beat Kirilenko.
Neither Gordon nor Rose played much. And the Knicks' pre-game arrangement also failed to succeed, Jordan and Griffin played very smart, each fouled once, and the Clippers deliberately made fouls and failed to do so, but instead missed some balls.
In the second quarter, both sides came off the bench.
The Knicks sent Ibaka, Monroe, Smith, Wright, Livingston. The Clippers did not have all the substitutes, leaving Griffin, the Clippers did not open the situation on the offensive end, JR "convulsed" in this game, relied on the cover to get rid of the defense after receiving the ball, shot very resolutely, and hit two three-pointers in a row, overtaking the score.
