Chapter 454: Simple and Rude
Looking at the starting lineups of both teams, Bill Wharton said:
"Both the Knicks and the Hawks are teams that value the front and the interior. This will definitely increase the team's hand-to-hand combat, and the two teams will look at Li Feng and Smith at the critical moment of the game, and the normal time is still to play better on the forward side of the two teams. ”
"It's a game for the big guys. The tall teams of both teams will dominate most of the time! At this time, it will also test the ability of Li Feng and Teague to cooperate with the big men of the team. ”
"Teague would be better in this regard! Because he's a point guard. ”
Bill Wharton's speech at this time was clearly biased in favor of Teague.
Barry, who is a shooting guard, was immediately upset, and he immediately said:
"What do you think! Point guards are superior! There is now a popular perception in the league that a good point guard is more valuable than a good wing player and can lead the whole team more. I don't agree with that, the wingers will still dominate the pitch. ”
Bill Wharton also didn't expect Barry to complain like this, and he also laughed and defended:
"The point guard's first duty is to organize and advance with the ball and to receive basketball. He's a natural lubricant, so a point guard definitely has an advantage when it comes to team-mates! There is nothing to argue about this. ”
Barry still disagrees:
"If the wing player has excellent vision, he can also take over the job of the point guard, and the wing player is more threatening, and the achievement can only be higher!"
Barry and Bill Wharton were arguing on the side, the lights were shaking, and the game finally began.
The players of the two teams did not greet each other, they scolded too much before, and at this time they both regarded each other as enemies.
Cousins and Horford went into the center circle together, and the referee threw the basketball into the air, but Horford still used his experience to point the basketball into Teague's hands.
Cousins is more powerful, but less experienced. The opening scrum suffered a small loss.
At the moment when the basketball came out, the long-awaited Madison Square Garden fans also cheered.
Director Zhang also said in the broadcast studio in China: "
The race is on! Now it's the Eagles who attack first! The beginning is very important, and now the first shot of the first quarter of the first game is also very important. This is also a goal that can affect a game, or even a game. ”
When Director Zhang was so good at speaking, Teague took the ball and pushed it forward briskly.
At this point, the Knicks set up a defense-like defense, with Li Feng in the center and two wings stretched out on either side of the basket.
Tyberdu put on such a defensive line, obviously taking advantage of Li Feng's mobility and athleticism.
Teague came up at this time and played unhurriedly, he is a player who has played a lot of games. At this time, he was not impatient, but first sent the basketball to Horford, who pulled it out, and then he guessed and ran towards the baseline.
The Eagles played a pick-and-roll tactic, interspersed with running and back and forth to attack in a dislocation.
The Eagles' offensive tenet is to run without the ball and create misalignment. For example, the tactical effect of small fighting big, big fighting small, advantage fighting disadvantage, etc.
It's a very practical set, and Woodson relies on it to stay on the pitch in the face of change.
At this point, Woodson's tactics were still working on the pitch. Soon the dislocation of Demar Carroll and Drakic was formed.
Dragic was a head shorter than De Marcarroll, who seized the opportunity to get near the three-point line and threw in a long-range shot.
"Brush" DeMar Carroll hit a goal first! As soon as the ball hit, Bill Wharton, who was on the sidelines, immediately said:
"Today, the Eagles started with a relatively calm game. No special tactics were used. It was their blocking tactics that came up to fight, and there was no change. But this is the best change! ”
Barry, who has also played a lot of games, said at the moment:
"The Eagles did play more calmly. This is the style of the old team, now let's see what the rookie Knicks do with this ball! ”
Just as Barry said that. Just watched Vucevic, who kicked off the Knicks' sideline, suddenly made an ultra-long-distance pass, and the basketball went straight to the Hawks' half like a bolt of lightning.
Li Feng received the ball and faced the Hawks' basket and already formed an offense.
The Hawks played calmly, but the Knicks refused to take it calmly. Also refuses to slow down.
The rhythm was like lightning at the beginning, and the Eagles completed the half-court offense. The Knicks didn't even take a breath before they came back.
When Li Feng received the ball, he faced Devin Harris, the only one who ran over, waved his arms and stepped in reverse, flashing Harris at once, flashing the only obstacle, and Li Feng flew up with both hands.
"Bang dang!"
Li Feng's violent dunk smashed all the strength up, the smashed basket was shaky, and Madison Square Garden was also shaking.
With Li Feng's violent buckle, Madison Square Garden also suddenly sounded a joyful cry "Whoa!" ”
Madison Square Garden was filled with applause and cheers, and this is the home court of the Knicks, who opened the game with a dunk. Madison Square Garden couldn't have been so happy, and the Chinese media who came to broadcast the game were even more excited.
In the opening game, the Knicks actually played like this, which also made Bill Wharton and Barry a little unable to react.
Barry opened his mouth several times before he said:
"Knicks, that's too fast, isn't it?"
Bill Wharton also shook his head on the side:
"It's the first time I've seen a team like this!"
The two commentators couldn't react, and Woodson couldn't react a little either. He can stick to a tactic for so many years, which shows that this person is very persistent, and on the other hand, it also shows that he is an old-fashioned person.
So when he saw the Knicks playing so fast, his first thought was to despise the Knicks. Because in his philosophy, no team can win the championship if it is mainly fast. Fast teams have never gone far in the playoffs, which has been a rule in the past decade or so.
So when Woodson saw the Knicks playing so fast, his first thought was to despise the Knicks, to look down on Tyberdeau, and to think that Tyberdau was not enough.
Woodson despised the other party in his heart, and he did not move in his actions, sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. Tyberdeau, for his part, glanced at the Hawks' bench and saw that Woodson really didn't think of himself as a dish. Tyberdu also laughed.
The Eagles are a cutting-edge team, and the nerves of the players have been tempered by Woodson as hard as a tightrope, and they are not distracted when they are deducted, and the team is still steadily blocking and dismantling.
Teague handed the basketball to Josh Smith at the far post, Smith took the ball, and the Hawks pulled all the space out for Smith.
Let Smith play Vucevic one-on-one in the right half, and in Woodson's view, Smith's play against Vucevic is a strong and weak mismatch. If Smith plays harder, the Eagles have a bargain to take advantage of at this point.
The Eagles had a good plan, but Smith was just holding the ball. Dragic, who was on the line, immediately came up and attacked Smith decisively.
Smith turned around to find someone to pass the ball, only to see that the Knicks' defense was running like a tide, cutting off his passing path from every angle.
Although Smith's assist data is not bad, it doesn't mean how strong his organizational skills are, and his data is good!
The only space he could see at this point was Carroll in the bottom corner, but it was from this position that he made the most difficult pass to the baseline.
Fortunately, Carroll was smart enough to cut to the basket to catch the ball, but just as Smith passed the ball, Vucevic immediately went up to help defend Carroll.
Vucevic is sometimes not hard enough when defending alone, but in the case of helping to defend. But the pace is very flexible.
Carroll couldn't get up under the basket and had to turn around and pass the ball to Teague, but as soon as he could shoot the ball, Belineri flew out of the crowd and cut off the basketball.
Belineri broke the ball down and quickly gave it to Li Feng. Then it was like lightning to come back as if the Knicks' counterattack was lightning.
The Knicks were still fast, still so fast that they couldn't breathe, and they chased the Eagles' ass.
As soon as the Knicks ran, Madison Square Garden suddenly cheered again, "Whoa!" The stadium was cheering again.
In the midst of this call. The Knicks' players are more courageous, and the Hawks' players unconsciously fall behind.
Li Feng took the lead and attracted the Eagles' defense. Suddenly a ground-hitting pass to the left, and Dragic, who came up from behind, took the ball and scored two points on a layup.
The Knicks' first fast break was a dunk in the blink of an eye, and the second fast break was fast and fluid.
Two fast breaks, the team's morale rushed out wildly, and Madison Square Garden opened the game.
The whole stadium was cheering, and the Knicks played well at the beginning!
This put a lot of pressure on the Eagles.
At this time, Director Zhang was also excited when he saw it in the domestic broadcast studio:
"The Knicks opened with two fast breaks in a row! Two very beautiful balls, what a great start! The Knicks opened the game with their own rhythm! It's not easy? ”
When Coach Zhang saw that the Chinese players were playing well, he was excited, and it was the same today. However, at this time, Woodson sensed something, and through Fang Cai's defense. Woodson can see that the Knicks' fast tactics are not only fast on offense, but also fast on defense.
Fast packing, fast rotation, fast starting, fast action, the Knicks' speed is reflected in the whole, and the Knicks' speed is everywhere.
The combination of these characteristics also made Woodson feel a hint of danger. But at this time, Woodson still did not move, on the one hand, he still stubbornly believed that his tactics were not wrong. On the one hand, I was also watching the Knicks.
The Hawks beat the Knicks twice, but the effect was not very good both times, and the Hawks were a little impatient the third time.
After all, although the Eagles' players are well-trained, they are not gods, and they also have emotions.
was beaten twice in a row, and the third time he came up, he must have played more cautiously and powerfully.
Jeff Teague came over this time and directed his teammates to pull the run, and he handed the basketball to Horford, who ran up.
He himself suddenly cut towards the Knicks' wing, Horford passed the basketball in, and Teague carried the Knicks' defense and squeezed towards the Knicks' basket.
The Knicks had to give up a foul in order to block Teague and pulled Teague down.
Teague caused a foul on the Knicks and brought the game back to the hand-to-hand combat that the Hawks were accustomed to.
This kind of hand-to-hand combat that tears back and forth is the rhythm that the Hawks like and are good at, and Teague also mutters when he goes to the free throw line.
At this time, Woodson also came over to teach Carroll and Smith face-to-face. He's asking his two forwards to play harder and dirtier, and this is not the time for a dinner in the playoffs.
Teague was solid at the free-throw line, hitting both free throws. The two teams ended up in a draw. The ball fell into the hands of the Knicks.
The Knicks came over with the ball and officially attacked the Hawks' positional defense for the first time. This first offense is also very important, when Dragic got the basketball in the backcourt, Tyberdu also immediately jumped out to gesture to Dragic, and let Dragic play Li Feng's low-post tactics.
Tyberdu has to hit accurately and ruthlessly in the first attack, and the Knicks' most accurate and ruthless tactic is Li Feng's low-post tactics.
This style of play is Li Feng's housekeeping skill, and it is also a tactic that can maximize Li Feng's destructive power.
With Tyberdeau's command, the Knicks immediately came over and pressed all the players to the baseline when they were in position. Li Feng ran quickly and frantically along the bottom line. The continuous baseline cover allowed Li Feng to get rid of Devin Harris when he came around, and the defender he faced when receiving the ball was replaced by Smith.
Li Feng vs. Smith, Smith has become a big forward in the past two years, and the speed is not the hairy boy who can only dunk and block back then, Li Feng can completely use speed to beat Smith at this time.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Feng didn't hit Smith with the ball, but turned his back to Smith with his buttocks.
Seeing Li Feng's action, the fans in the audience were shocked, and Woodson couldn't help but scold "Shet" when he saw Li Feng's action.
Li Feng is a swing man who goes to eat Smith on his back, which is a typical practice of not using Smith as a dish. The players of the Eagles look. Li Feng is also too rampant this time, and he is not like words. It's contempt, it's naked contempt for Smith.
Smith was also furious when he saw Li Feng beating himself like this. puffed up his chest and resisted Li Feng.
Li Feng resisted his opponent the one hand, and shook his feet back and forth on the other, Li Feng is now extremely flexible, and he is shaking. Every joint from the foot and neck to the head is shaking, and every joint has a feint.
Li Feng has a lot of feints, and his steps are fast. Smith can be regarded as a good back-up master, but none of them are as perverted as Li Feng.
Smith was shaken by Li Feng, and he could only push it out, and he couldn't figure out what plane Li Feng was going to do.
Just when Smith was headless here, Li Feng turned over like a big fish, and slipped on one side of his body to clean Smith.
Once Li Feng passed, Madison Square Garden was "Wow!" An exclamation.
At this time, Li Feng passed, and then flew up in one step, facing the Eagles' basket and grabbing the ball with both hands was a violent dunk.
Li Feng is going to dunk again, how big is it to start!
Li Feng is here again, if Li Feng is deducted.
Where is the eagle's face?
Horford, out of consideration for the dignity of the team, this guy came up and slapped Li Feng's arm hard.
Horford deliberately fouled, and Li Feng keenly felt it in the air, and hurriedly shrank his arms and resisted outward.
This time, Li Feng let go of his arm, but he couldn't let go of the whole person, and Horford slapped Li Feng on the shoulder, knocking Li Feng from the air and sinking.
Horford's slap was so crisp that the referee blew the whistle right away.
At this time, Li Feng's movements did not stop, after being slapped, Li Feng handed over the basketball with one hand in the air, and one hand on the side of the shoulder for a round of "Bang!" Even after being slapped in the face, Li Feng still completed the attack with a tomahawk dunk.
2+1, 2+1 for dunk!
As soon as Li Feng's ball came out, Madison Square Garden's already high mood was even more high. The fans in the stadium were thunderous!
Bill Wharton and Barry also shouted together: "Good shot! ”
Across the Pacific Ocean in the valley, Director Zhang and the Yu family also shouted:
"Good shot!"
Li Feng's dunk is beautiful, he resisted the foul and dunked, it is beautiful and beautiful, and the posture is particularly elegant. Anyone who looks at such a ball must admit that it is an excellent ball.
Although the Eagles, from the players to the head coach, are unwilling, they must also admit that Li Feng is a good ball.
After Li Feng buckled such a button, he immediately yelled at Horford, and then jumped to the bottom line to face the camera, and raised his hands frantically at the fans.
As Li Feng raised his hands, the chanting, whistles, and applause of the entire Madison Square Garden continued like thunder.
Li Feng mobilized the atmosphere of the whole court, although the game had just started and the score was about the same, but at this time the morale of the Knicks had risen. The Knicks' group of players have gone from being slightly nervous at the beginning to being completely excited.
The Hawks' players were much more depressed, and the Knicks suddenly gained the upper hand in momentum.
When Li Feng walked to the free throw line, Woodson stood up and asked Carroll to defend Li Feng. On the commentary seat, Barry said excitedly:
"It's really unthinkable that Li Feng's back attack is so simple and rude! Smith didn't stop either, and with the strength of Horford's crane, he didn't knock Li Feng down from the air at once. ”
"This guy is really a Tyrannosaurus rex! Everywhere is full of wild power. No wonder he dared to take on Smith with his back, and sure enough, he had two brushes. It's really amazing! ”
When Barry was so impressed, Bill Wharton also said:
"Li Feng, this guy does have my style to attack with his back!"
Bill Wharton is usually a serious person, and now he suddenly says that, Barry can't laugh anymore, Wharton really doesn't fucking criticize face. (To be continued......)
