Chapter 164: Back to Morpheus

Chapter 164 Back to Morpheus

After the game, Hornets head coach Byron Scott said in an interview with the New York Sports Newspaper:

"D'Antonis has always been an attacking team right now, and Li Feng has made their attack more organized, and if it wasn't for Li Feng, we would have won this game - 1 - "

"New York Sports News" believes that Li Feng has transformed from a rookie to a real star, although the rookie will give people a stunning feeling, but it is not trustworthy, there will always be times to make mistakes, but Li Feng is a trustworthy star.

In recent years, D'Antonis has been at the bottom, with a lot of stars, but there is a lack of a player who can stand up at a critical moment, and he can only try his luck when he can't open the situation, but after having Li Feng, whenever he encounters a critical moment, Li Feng uses his personal ability to break the deadlock with the team, and then has a hearty victory.

Li Feng brought not only the attention of the fans, but also brought unstoppable domineering to the team, when he was injured and banned, D'Antonis's record plummeted, and as soon as he came back, D'Antonis found his soul again, which reflects the value of Li Feng, the current New York D'Antonis, can be said to be Li Feng's team, even if the league's official most supported LeBron James wants to come to D'Antonis, it may not be able to steal Li Feng's position as the boss.

The game between D'Antonis and the Hornets was a turning point, because after this game, the five opponents behind D'Antonis were all teams outside the playoffs, and it is not impossible to win another six consecutive games in D'Antonis' current form.

The media's speculation is very accurate, after D'Antonis defeated the Hornets, the team's morale is booming, all the way forward, Li Feng, Harden, Thornton The three musketeers are getting better and better, and the three of them combined to score 105 points in front of the Denver Nuggets, who fell to ninth in the West, and led D'Antonis to a single-game high score of 141 points to win.

After the victory over the Nuggets, D'Antonis did not stop moving forward, playing a six-game winning streak and finishing in 10th place in the East.

Although James Harden and Thornton are not as stable as Li Feng, the advantages of the D'Antonis trade are finally reflected, when Harden and Thornton fluctuate, Matthews can always be on top, bursting out with amazing combat effectiveness, Matthews' current average points per game has mentioned an average of 13.5 points per game, which is still the result of the previous score in the Jazz, if you only look at his average points per game in D'Antonis, it is 16.1 points, which is unimaginable for a non-draft player. Although he didn't re-enter the playoff roster, D'Antonis' crazy six-game winning streak still attracted a lot of attention, and the New York Times exclaimed that the team had to work a miracle after D'Antonis' six-game winning streak, and maybe they could really make the playoffs again after six years.

D'Antonis is on a six-game winning streak before they face a tough opponent in the form of Li Feng's former club, the Memphis Grizzlies.

D'Antonis and the Grizzlies traded Li Feng, and at the time the media thought that the Grizzlies made money, but now, anyone can see that Li Feng has unlimited potential, and the Grizzlies definitely lose.

Of course, from the current immediate interests, the Grizzlies are not losing, they got David Lee and Wilson Chandler, the team's bench lineup is very strong, this year's extremely competitive West, they have maintained the tenth position in the West, which is not easy, you must know that the Denver Nuggets have also fallen to the ninth position in the West.

One is tenth in the West and the other is tenth in the East, and the two teams can't be said to be strong and evenly matched.

Before the game began, Grizzlies owner Hasley said in the media that he believed the Grizzlies could end D'Antonis' winning streak.

Team manager Wallace also actively expressed his views on this game, he said: "D'Antonis is the darkest dark horse this season, before the start of the season and in the first half, almost everyone thinks that they are about "strong contenders", the bottom of the East is their position, even if the owner has money, but it can't change this situation, but now D'Antonis has subverted everyone's opinion, they have entered the ranks of the Eastern Conference playoffs, and re-entering the playoffs has gradually become a reality, It's a respectable opponent and I'm sure they can create a myth and they did a great job in New York, but we're going to make the playoffs and D'Antonis is our enemy and we're going to have to end their winning streak in this game. ”…,

The team's six-game winning streak was something that even Dolan himself couldn't have imagined, and he was certainly very happy in his heart, but before the game against the Grizzlies, he still depressurized his team and coach, the rich man said:

"It's amazing for the team to play such a dazzling result, from eight consecutive defeats to six consecutive wins, which is something that no one expected, we praise Mike and his players, they are perfect, but at this time, I still have to say that our goals are very ambitious, I am not a quick winner, he has a long contract, no matter what kind of results his team plays, he will sit firmly in the coaching position, I believe in Downey's work, he will deliver an answer that everyone is happy with."

With six wins in a row, D'Antonis' players are on the verge of running out of confidence, and even the Devils home of the Grizzlies are not the least intimidated.

The players also had a war of words, the main point guard Chris Dujon said that the opponent is stronger than the previous few but we are still confident to win them, the team is now playing more and more smoothly, I believe we can return to the playoffs this season, this is a fantastic thing for us, I will wake up laughing in my sleep when I think we have something to do in the summer, we will do our best to win every game, the Grizzlies are strong but it does not mean that they cannot be defeated. ”

Chris Dujon is not a team to be talked about, and if there is no topic of the playoffs, his interview is just a wave in the sea, and it may not reach the public until after the game, but now that D'Antonis' game has become a mainstream media phenomenon, and the news about the players and the team is always reported, so a war of words is inevitable.

As the captain of the current conversation, Grizzlies' captain Guy certainly can't lose momentum.

He implicitly satirized that Chris Dujon was really dreaming:

"You can't win a game with just a few words, if I can win in my dreams, now it's time for me to go to sleep!"

After the captain spoke, the rest of the Grizzlies' main players also came out to speak.

Everyone went into the battle, and D'Antonis was not to be outdone, and Li Feng, who rarely spoke before the game after returning from injury, also talked about his views on the game this time.

Li Feng said that six consecutive wins is a good thing, no matter who the opponent is, it is what we have to do to remain undefeated.

Not only the players, but even the head coach couldn't help but stand up and say a couple of words at this time, Hollins said that D'Antonis' six-game winning streak was coming to an end in Memphis, and I believe we would have the last laugh.

D'Antoni said, I don't care about a few wins in a row, my goal is to keep winning and winning until we reach our goal, and I hope the team can continue to play in the summer with more than a month to go until the playoffs.

In addition to the playoff battle between the two teams, Li Feng's face of his old club is also a selling point, although this is not the first game after the two teams traded, but it is Li Feng's first game back at the FedEx Center Arena, the home of the Memphis Grizzlies, Grizzlies fans who have always been known for their enthusiasm snapped up tickets for the day's game, although Li Feng went to New York, but the fans never gave up their support for him.

After the start of the game, both teams did not disappoint the fans, they played like crazy, the Grizzlies are very strong overall, the available people are far more than the Knicks, they have reverted to the wheel play of Hubbie Brown in the past, the pace is very fast, especially on the Knicks' side, their slogan is to score goals in one second and never drag it to two seconds.

However, the offensive play of the two teams is not the same, and the Knicks' style of play is the kind of passionate type, their players are running all over the court, pressing all over the court, and not moving to the counteroffensive phase immediately after getting the ball, as Grizzlies point guard Conley said after the game, "Even if I catch the ball, they don't want to make it easy for me." "You can imagine the ferocity of the Knicks. …,

The Grizzlies' tactics are relatively calm, they have a lot of offensive points, take multi-point offense, block and cut tactics are their main means of scoring, the inside Zach Randolph is not only a big meat shield, but also a beautiful shot, and Guy Mayo's breakthrough shooting is not bad, and the three of them are full of lethality together.

The Knicks may really be like a god after most of the season after experiencing a lot of ups and downs, in this game with the Grizzlies, the players are in hot shape, Li Feng broke through the inside line and was immediately trapped, James Harden received Li Feng's pass on the baseline, and then the Grizzlies' rotation position worked, and the inside Mark Gasol pounced on Harden.

But Harden's catch was just a feint to shoot, and seeing Gasol being fooled, he directly stuffed the basketball inside, and at this time, Thornton on the other side had already inserted the inside, and the Grizzlies' team was all contained.

Facing the unguarded basket, even the shooter Thornton was proud, raised the basketball with one arm, picked a ring, and smashed the basketball into the basket!

The goal was scored, the score on the court became 21-9, and the Knicks broke 20 points in just 5 minutes of the game, and if it went on like this, the Knicks could score nearly 200 points in 48 minutes, and the Grizzlies fans and players looked at the bright red score on the electronic scoreboard, as if the number was made of their own blood.

The Knicks gave the Grizzlies a dismissal at the beginning, Li Feng contributed a lot, he was ruthless against his old club, and he had already cut 8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, which is only five minutes of data, according to this efficiency, a super triple-double is expected today!
