Chapter 451: Repeated Conflicts
What kind of person is West, he is the X-Men, only he provokes others, how can others provoke him.
Now that a rookie like Jones was celebrating in front of West, West suddenly became angry and yelled at Jones.
West was angry, although Jones is a junior character, but looking at his crazy play, people must not be easy to mess with.
Jones also shouted at West's head in turn, and West actually got into trouble with a little character like Jones.
The teammates of the two teams came up and quickly separated the two people, and the referee was more sensitive to this situation, and immediately came over to play fifty boards each, and gave West and Jones a technical foul each.
Both West and Jones were fouled on the technical game, but both were quite unhappy.
Jones stood at the free-throw line with an annoyed look on his face and hit a free throw.
The Pacers called a timeout and not only did not score, but were beaten 2+1 by Jones.
As a result, the Pacers finally couldn't control the Knicks, and the entire Knicks team was like a beast out of the cage. rushed out at once and bit in all directions, and fought back desperately from the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, he actually relied on Jones, Belinelli and Li Feng's offense to reverse the score.
The Pacers were on their home court, and they were actually reversed by the Knicks in the second half.
It was a big blow for the Pacers, who trailed by five points, and instead of stepping up their offense, Vogel began to come off the bench.
Now there are only 2 minutes left in the third quarter. It's time to come on as a substitute. Vogel did this, obviously to fight the Knicks in the fourth quarter, and now let his main players recuperate their physical strength.
This time. Tyberdu is a little entangled, he doesn't have as many cards as the Pacers, knowing that the fourth quarter is the last time for the decisive victory, but he doesn't dare to replace the main players now, he wants to maintain a 5-point advantage, so when there is only 1 minute left in the third quarter, he replaced Li Feng and the main players.
Tyberdu has fewer cards in his hand. So the use of people is more conservative, at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks still led the Pacers by 5 points at 89-84.
The game played like this. The vast majority of Pacers fans find it incredible.
Before the game, the Pacers outperformed the Knicks by a lot in terms of strength on paper and experience.
But now the game is at its worst. The leader is actually the Knicks. This situation is incomprehensible to many fans.
The Knicks don't have anything, it's just a little harder defensively, there is a Li Feng, and Li Feng's performance today is average, how can he overtake the score.
No matter how you look at it, the Pacers are above the Knicks, in terms of lineup, experience, and tactics.
Pacers all have the upper hand. But after the game was played the most, it seemed that the Pacers had fallen behind, and this was still on the Pacers' home court?
This question lingers in the heads of Pacers fans!
Actually, this matter is simple to say. The Knicks are a young team, a very emotional team with a lot of ups and downs.
If you play poorly, the Knicks can play very dull, and if you play well, the Knicks can play very explosively.
Today's Knicks exploded, Belineri was already on the verge of scoring 20 points, and Jones was also a dozen points.
Rose, Dragic, Cousins, the Knicks' conventional weapons have also been captured, and the Knicks have this kind of windfall.
The Pacers were completely unexpected, and Belineri and Jones could also explode, which the Pacers could never have dreamed of before.
Getting the Knicks pumping up was simply the Pacers' biggest mistake.
But it's too late to say anything, and the Pacers' only chance is to finish off the Knicks in the fourth quarter.
At this time, there was silence at Consec Arena and Indiana, but fans in New York and at home cheered.
Now they're already hoping that the Knicks will beat the Pacers, and then the two teams meet in the playoffs, and the Knicks will win as well.
But the Pacers aren't easy to handle.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers didn't let everyone rest when they came back from the opening game, and at this time Vogel still put Paul George and Granger on the court together.
The Pacers wanted to recover the score very strongly, and at the same time, at this time, Li Feng on the Knicks' side was also replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
The two teams did not let the main team rest enough during the original main rest time, which shows how much importance the two coaches attach to the game.
The opening game came back with the Pacers' ball, and the Pacers came back from Paul George, but it wasn't just a single.
Paul George hit Li Feng this time, and after attracting enough attention, he suddenly passed the ball to DJ Augustin on the baseline.
Augustin took the ball and the Knicks immediately turned around to fight Augustin, knowing that Augustin is a good three-point shot.
As a result, the Knicks' defense was torn apart all at once, and DJ Augustin passed the ball to Granger again. Granger made an easy feint and then went straight to the basket to score two points.
The Pacers entered the last quarter, playing hard team. At this time, as a Knicks, it should be a response.
The Knicks are a team that plays on morale, and without morale they are nothing. So the situation of the Knicks is a bit funny, and the Knicks are going to slap the swollen face and be fat anyway.
The Knicks pushed in quickly, and they had a characteristic position in their position that didn't need to be inside at all.
Livingston held the ball at the top of the arc, Li Feng and Smith stood in one corner, and Diop and Vucevic made a double cover together at the top of the arc. This completely tears apart the space in the restricted area, which is perfect for a team like the Knicks who don't have a low-post attacker.
It also stole some of the essence of the Pacers, who have been very fond of playing double screens at the free-throw line so far this season.
This is also Vogel's small tactics. For one of the league's contributions, the double screen at the free-throw line, this starting style can extend a lot of practical offensive moves.
Now the Knicks suddenly pulled out the Pacers' sign. The Pacers, on their part, were amused and angry.
At this point, Livingston suddenly made a breakaway and forced the Pacers to squeeze through the defense. During the Pacers' substitution, Livingston suddenly passed the ball to the pick-and-roll and cut to Diop's basket.
Diop's offensive ability is not strong, but he is so suddenly under the basket, the Pacers still have to protect this vital point.
At this moment, Diop received the ball and threw the basketball into the hands of Li Feng on the bottom line, and Li Feng was vacant. The heat before the feel has not subsided.
Directly shot a three-pointer, and the basketball simply fell into the Pacers' basket.
At this time, the fourth quarter came back, and the Pacers still didn't take advantage of it. The Knicks have played their entire team.
The game was played to this extent. The walkers were really nervous, and now it's time to live or die.
Again, Lance Stephenson, who came off the bench on the Pacers' side, ran a very cunning move when he was blocking and covering. Got between the two Knicks defenders and got to the basket. This is when DJ Augustin passes the ball in time. The Pacers immediately stole two points.
The Pacers guys, that's what makes people speechless, they can always use some little tricks, little tricks, little experience, and easily get two points.
The Pacers stole the points, and the Knicks came back again as they did in the previous round, playing a double-screen landing with two bottom corners.
Walkers take a second look. You're still beating like that, and all of a sudden, these guys get angry. An imitation can be said to be unexpected. But imitating the Pacers twice touched the Knicks' pulse. Coming up with a shrinking defense that doesn't give the Knicks a chance to cut into the air.
Suddenly, this tactic of the Knicks was a little difficult to use, under the high-intensity defense of the Pacers.
Livingston, a consistent guard, also made a mistake, passing a dangerous ball and missing it and giving the ball to the Pacers.
The Pacers came over and seized the opportunity, and DJ Augustin fed the basketball to Hansbrough, who was in the main position inside.
Hansbru took the ball and immediately rolled over and made a hook hand, but Diop couldn't stop him. But Hansblu's own hand was not very good, and he missed a shot.
Hansbrough immediately jumped to the other side of the basket and grabbed the rebound again, Hansbrough grabbed the second offensive rebound, and Rose on one side immediately went over and fouled directly, trying to knock Hansbrough down with the foul.
But Ross put his hand on Hansbrough's arm, and Hansbrough made a layup in annoyance, and raised his elbow to give Rose an elbow in the face.
Rose was elbowed by Hansbrough and took a step back, and then Rose suddenly stopped doing it and came up and yelled at Hansbrough.
Hansbru was not to be outdone, and the two of them saw that the fight was going on again.
At this time, Vucevic hurriedly pushed Rose away, and the referee's whistle sounded several times in a row.
Now that Stern is promoting a clean alliance, the whistle of this feud is still very strict.
On the court, Hansbrough and Rose had a dispute, and the Indiana fans on the sidelines were booed, and these boos were naturally for the Knicks.
Hansbrough and Rose were separated, and the referee gave each side a technical foul and Rose a thug foul.
The free throw was first for a technical foul, and Louis Smith made both free throws in place of the Knicks. Then Hansbrough executed the beating foul, and although Hansbrough was very strong here, he usually hit one of two free throws with free throw skills.
After the free throws, the two teams were more antagonistic on the court, and now the two teams are in a bloody battle, and there was a serious physical dispute before, which made the game even more dirty.
Dirty, a harsh word, is an integral part of a great game. Good defense is dirty, somewhere between fouling and not fouling.
If the basketball game is not dirty, it will become a billiards game, and everyone is polite.
Dirty, tough ways, calculating tongues, that's how basketball is performed.
At this time, the Knicks came over again, and they finally didn't play the double cover of the two bottom corners, but came over and handed the basketball to Li Feng, who ran out of the three-point line.
Li Feng picked up the ball. The amplitude was very large, and he made a one-handed change of direction, shook his body and then pushed Paul George away with his shoulder, and then Li Feng suddenly changed direction. All of a sudden, the acceleration knocked Paul George over.
After Paul George, there was just a blank space under the Pacers' basket, and when Li Feng just wanted to make an offensive move, he couldn't prevent his whole body being hugged directly from the side of the bush.
Li Feng rushed forward, and as soon as he was hugged like this, his body suddenly lost his balance a little, and he was directly knocked to the ground.
After landing, Li Feng looked back and saw that it was Lance Stephenson's ghost. Immediately, Li Feng stopped doing it, jumped up and scolded Lance Stephenson.
“IKIllYou,Bitch”
Li Feng opened his mouth to scold the country. Then the whole person looked at Stephenson with a fierce light.
The Knicks' team members and Taberdu saw that Li Feng was about to go crazy again, and suddenly the hearts of these people jumped.
At this time, Rose, who had just lost his temper, came over and hugged Li Feng all of a sudden: "Calm down, Feng, calm down." ”
Rose came over and hugged Li Feng. The rest of the Knicks' players reacted immediately. They all came over and stopped in front of Li Feng, but they couldn't let Li Feng continue to go crazy.
Lance Stephenson saw Li Feng's angry appearance at this time, and he was also a little afraid.
Just now when he hugged Li Feng, he made a subconscious action, and he didn't think too much, but now that he saw that the situation was serious, he realized that he had provoked a ruthless person.
Li Feng was hugged by his teammates, and Lance Stephenson didn't say anything, glanced at Li Feng and turned around and left.
That's when the referee came over and started to give a penalty. This time, the penalty was quite similar to Fang Cai, giving Li Feng a technical foul and Lance a normal foul. There are still fifty boards on each side.
After the free throws from both sides, the atmosphere of the game immediately changed, and the two consecutive clashes made the atmosphere on the court even more tense.
This tension is twofold, and now the two sides are in the process of chasing points, and the game is tense. There were many disputes between each other before, and the actions were also relatively tense.
Both sides want to let go of the fight, but there are many disputes and they can't let go, both teams seem to be wearing heavy armor and fighting, obviously it is a life and death battle, but they can't let go.
At this time, the referee was also very nervous, and as soon as he saw that the two sides were fighting a little, he immediately blew the whistle.
In this way, the Pacers and the Knicks are clearly in a dead-to-death battle, but they are under pressure and the referee makes them powerful and dare not send.
Both teams clearly wanted to stab their opponents to death in the last quarter, but they were both handcuffed and unable to use them.
Such a game was ugly, procrastinating, and everything was suffocated, so after Li Feng fouled, the two teams maintained this powerful and unusable state.
At the end of the game, the Pacers couldn't hold up first, because by this time they still trailed the Knicks by 4 points at 91-95.
At this time, the 4 points were terrible, and although the Pacers were still worried about being blown by the referee at this time, they still had to amplify their actions on the court.
With just two and a half minutes left in the game, the Pacers came over and played an offensive routine that resembled a triangle offense.
West came over and got into the horn position early, and then Hill came over and passed the ball to West first. Then he immediately went down to 45 degrees to make a cross cover for Paul George, who was hiding in the bottom corner.
Paul George took advantage of Hill's cover to run to the top of the arc, West passed, Paul George pulled out, and Jones made a very quick save. He immediately lobbed the ball to West and cut in.
Just Paul George and West's cooperation, very Pacers, very simple and practical, Paul George used the cover to run up, which was to give the Knicks' defense a multiple-choice question, and the big forward who defended West pulled out, and Paul George immediately passed back to West is a misplaced offense. The opponent did not pounce and rotated, and Paul George immediately shot in the open space.
Now the Knicks have chosen to rotate, Paul George immediately gives West, and the person who goes up to defend West at this time is Li Feng.
Compared with West, Li Feng did form a misplaced attack. With West's height and shooting point, even if he was standing there and shooting, Li Feng couldn't block it, and West's shooting point was too high.
West didn't see who was behind him, but by his senses, he knew that this person was not tall enough.
So he immediately turned over and made a jumper, Li Feng could only try his best to get up and harass him, Li Feng's harassment was indeed relatively strong, because he was more able to jump.
West also had a bad hand, and was gently harassed by Li Feng, and he actually missed the shot.
For some time after the end of the year, West didn't work well. Seeing this situation, Vogel also felt a chill in his heart.
Just now the Pacers took out the connection between Paul George and West, just to hold the ball steadily.
Now that the Knicks are back, they have also taken conservative measures and let Li Feng get the ball first in the backcourt. Li Feng took the ball, and he encountered a strong defense that was also a Pacers, and Li Feng tried to get the ball moving.
Let the whole team pass the ball a little away, but the first few minutes were too stiff, and the Knicks lost their anger. The Knicks are an emotional team, they have no gas, they are inactive all of a sudden, and they can't get into the Pacers' interior at all.
At this time, Li Feng could only shoot three points by himself, but unfortunately this three points also missed.
Li Feng missed the three-point shot, and the time was immediately compressed to 2 minutes, and there were only two minutes left in the game, but the score was still not moving.
Turning around, the Pacers played another connection between Granger and West, and Granger put a cold arrow outside the three-point line, but at this time the Pacers and the Knicks faced similar problems. After their hands were stiff in the fourth quarter, they couldn't do it, and their shots were missed. (To be continued......)
