Chapter 470: Breaking Chamberlain's Record
The Nuggets used the ultimate means like Gallinari, and as soon as the Knicks came over, the basketball naturally passed to Li Feng.
This attitude is obvious, you have Gallinari, we have Li Feng, ace to ace.
Li Feng took the ball, and he himself knew that this ball must come by himself, and the ball must be scored. If you don't go in, the Knicks will be wasted, and if you do, the pressure on the Nuggets will be even greater.
So Li Feng took the ball and immediately walked outside the three-point line.
As soon as he saw that the Nuggets' defensive formation was very good, he immediately called a cover.
Li Feng called for cover, and Cousins and Kirilenko on the inside ran out together, and Kirilenko also ran more actively and quickly arrived at Li Feng's side.
Kirilenko's aggressiveness is true, but the quality of Kirilenko's cover is not high due to his size, so Li Feng immediately bypassed Kirilenko and went towards Cousins, the huge size of the kitten is not only a filling for the inner line, but also an excellent cover wall.
Li Feng walked past Cousins and suddenly found an opportunity, Farid was blocked, and Mozgov was still half a step away from him.
Such an opportunity is relatively rare, Li Feng immediately stopped suddenly, jumped with all his strength, raised his hands high in the air, and in a place where Mozgov couldn't reach, Li Feng palmed a little and pointed the basketball out.
The basketball flew high in order to leapfrog Mozgov, but the accuracy did not decrease at all, and the basketball simply fell into the Nuggets' basket.
Gallinari scored two points, and Li Feng also scored two points, and the difference was still 6 points.
At this time, the game has become a-for-tat, and anyone who makes a mistake awaits him a failure.
The situation of the game became dancing on the cliff, once the Knicks made a mistake, what was waiting for them was to be stretched apart, and once the Nuggets made a mistake, what was waiting for them was to be reversed.
The steady victory turned out to be like this, and George Carr's chagrin increased dramatically.
The Nuggets are also emotionally unstable on the court, while the Knicks players are full of confidence at this time.
With a 20-point difference, there are only 6 points left. That's all there is to it, how can the Knicks' players not be satisfied with their passion.
Now the pressure is on the Nuggets' side again, and the Nuggets are getting to the critical moment, the tighter they play, and some can't let go, which is also one of the reasons why they have never entered the ranks of the strongest teams.
Now the Nuggets have played another one, an offensive routine that they have played many times before, with Gallinari getting the ball and Kufors and Farid doing cross-cover at the free-throw line. Only this time it was Kenneth Farid who went down to the bottom post.
Farid is now opposite Li Feng, and he sees that Li Feng is shorter than himself. He kept things simple. turned around and threw a throw directly at Li Feng's head, and Li Feng quickly got up and immediately sealed the edge of the ball thrown by Farid.
Li Feng touched the basketball all of a sudden, and the basketball suddenly fell, and Farid didn't expect his offensive ending to be so tragic, so he hurriedly got up and jumped to recapture the basketball.
Li Feng also landed and flew up, and the two of them competed to have continuous bounce ability.
Li Feng and Farid reached the highest point almost at the same time, and Li Feng added a little force in the air to suppress Farid at once.
This Li Feng snatched the basketball by the way, and Farid was abused by Li Feng, and he was suddenly a little ashamed and wanted to foul Li Feng.
Li Feng hurriedly passed the ball to Kirilenko, who was closest to him, and Kirilenko took the ball out of the penalty area. Dragic made a quick pass to Dragic, who was on the top of Lawson's mine and passed to J.R. Smith in the Nuggets halfcourt.
Smith catches the ball and he has this kind of opportunity. He won't let it go, so he takes the ball and shoots directly.
Smith's shot was fast, and the basketball flew out, and suddenly there was a burst of inhalation in the Pepsi Center arena.
If this ball is hit again. There are only 4 points left in the difference, which is not a difference at all, compared to the 5 minutes left. This is a score that can be recovered at any time.
Even George Karl began to pray at this time, don't enter, don't enter.
Maybe George Carr's prayer really worked, the basketball really didn't go in, and it hit the hoop and flew out directly.
missed the shot, and the hearts of Nuggets fans were suddenly put back, and at this time, under the basket that the fans couldn't see clearly, Li Feng had already reached the bottom of the Nuggets' basket. In this position, Li Feng hung up Kufors, twisted Mozgov's butt, and completely turned it on, and Li Feng occupied a place under the basket with his weight.
At this time, the basketball fell, and Li Feng just pushed Kufus away with his arm, and his ass twisted away Mozgov.
The whole person flew up all of a sudden, caught the rebound with one hand, and then pressed hard, and suddenly dunked the basketball into the Nuggets' basket.
"Bang dang!"
This life is crisp, but it smashes the hearts of Nuggets fans. With a supplementary deduction, the difference between the two teams suddenly narrowed to 4 points.
This point difference is already extremely dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as being able to overtake it at any time. At the same time, at this time, the Nuggets players on the court were a little anxious, they were already playing tightly, and they were even more nervous at this time.
Coming from their own half, they didn't play a team offense, but handed the basketball to Gallinari at the crucial moments.
Gallinari is also confused about the ball, and the 20-point difference is now only 4 points left after being chased, which is not a good feeling.
In this case, Gallinari wanted to find the shortest and most secure way to score. What is this channel? It's to bully J.R. Smith with his body. The body is a thing that is more reliable than a texture.
At this critical moment, Gallinari slammed into Smith with his shoulders crossed, and Smith hit him like this.
Smithton also understood that this guy was going to bully himself, and Smith was not reconciled!
He didn't care, he was determined to take a risk, and forced a break with his hand.
Smith is so sudden, this is the home court of the Nuggets, and he moves so much.
The referee immediately gave Smith a foul and sent Gallinari to the free throw line.
Smith made a move, this choice is inevitable, Tyberdeau also turned his brain at this time, now Smith's shooting is not good, his offense is not used now, and the defense is still a shortcoming. And now the score difference has also caught up. There is no need for a convulsive player like Smith, and it is better to have a more secure player on the difference of a few points. So Tyberdu also took advantage of Gallinari's free throws to replace Smith and replaced him with Belineri, who had a better defense.
Gallinari was at the free-throw line, hit the first free throw, missed the second. He hit one of two free throws, and the margin came to five points.
The Knicks kicked off the bottom line again, and now in terms of mentality, the Knicks are completely solid. A good mentality and high fighting spirit, all of this makes the Knicks play more closely and orderly on the offensive end.
Dragic dribbles over. Cousins covered, Kirillenko on the other side pulled out to catch the ball, and then passed the ball to Belineri, Green forced a breakthrough of two steps, and suddenly turned back and passed the ball to Li Feng on the three-point line.
Li Feng was vacant, and in the face of empty blue, Li Feng directly shot a three-point shot.
The basketball flew across the court and fell into the Nuggets' basket with a "brush" and another three-pointer.
This three-point shot was hit, and suddenly Nuggets fans felt their hearts skip out. That's a no-brainer! This time there are only 2 points left in the score advantage, just 2 points!
Hubby Brown also said at this time:
"Li Feng's three points are really terrible!"
"Yes! This time, it completely drove the Nuggets to a dead end. That's three points to decide a game! ”
Jeff Van Gundy also echoed at this time.
Li Feng made 7 three-pointers in the game today, and only three of them were shot. But all three of them are in the critical moment.
At this point, Li Feng has the potential to be a key gentleman, the more critical the moment, the more focused he is, and the more nervous others are. The more he could calm down.
The essence of this kind of killer is not how good Li Feng's three-point technique is, but that Li Feng is just a brain cell. If you only have basketball in your brain, you will be relatively pure, and you will be less disturbed, and if you are not disturbed, you will have a high shooting rate when you are focused.
George Karl really had no choice but to call a timeout again. Today, the Knicks are chasing points again and again, with a good step, and they didn't give the Nuggets a chance at all.
As a result, the Nuggets were cornered. On the sidelines, George Karl had to devise a tactic with his own hands, no matter what, he had to score two points first, otherwise the team would be doomed.
George Karl is designing offensive tactics, Tyberdu is arranging defense, and now the Knicks are facing a situation where they can just withstand this wave and then score two points. More than half of this game was won, and once the score was overtaken, the morale of the Nuggets was bound to end.
After the pause, the Nuggets opened the sideline ball, at this time the Nuggets really played very carefully, back and forth, and the basketball still fell into Gallinari's hands after the last round, and through a series of transfers, Gallinari also played against Dragic, which was another dislocation.
The Nuggets asked Gallinari to play Dragic at this time, and Tyberdu suddenly became nervous, because at this moment the Knicks were weak.
At this time, it was completely dependent on Dragic's play, Dragic was not a vegetarian, Gallinari began to squeeze a little, and did not move Dragic. In this way, Gallinari is a little anxious, and there is an outward pushing movement on his elbow when he does the movement again.
If at this time he is facing someone else who has nothing to do, but now he is facing Dragic.
Dragic is also a cunning person, you are so obvious that a move comes out, I don't say anything to anyone.
Dragic suddenly took advantage of the situation and slammed towards the ground and shouted, "Ah! ”
With such a performance, and Gallinari's elbow, the referee could only give Gallinari an offensive foul.
This offensive foul was given, and immediately the Nuggets' home court booed, and George Karl also jumped out and yelled at the court.
This offensive foul, blowing it off, is not a two-point thing, but a chance for the Nuggets, the last opportunity.
So George Karl is in a hurry, but it's useless to be anxious, Gallinari's mistake is too obvious, and making a mistake on such a key ball is tantamount to suicide.
The Knicks easily got the ball, Li Feng and Kirilenko came over and hurriedly bumped their chests with Dragic, Dragic was simply amazing, and this move directly eliminated the Nuggets' last chance.
The Knicks came running again, playing differently than the tense formation of the Nuggets, and the Knicks are now playing relaxed.
There are only 2 points left from 20 points behind, and the Knicks' players have completely adjusted their mentality, and their confidence and concentration are at the highest point.
Dragic took possession of the ball and pulled it to the left 45 degrees, and then saw that his teammates were all watched by the Nuggets. He gave the basketball to Cousins and asked him to pick it up.
Cousins came up to get the ball, and Li Feng saw that this person R-U Dashan was coming, and he immediately ran up from the bottom corner of the right. Using Cousins' body to wrap around him, he shook off Farid at once, and at the same time, Cousins' hand-to-hand pass also reached Li Feng's hand.
Li Feng received the ball and faced the Nuggets' Kufors, who shrunk inside to defend, and Li Feng took another step of space.
At this time, the Nuggets' defense was clearly very nervous, but Wan Kai was surprisingly calm and made the simplest move with the ball.
The hand was sent in the direction of Dragic. made a fake pass, Kufors on the inside was a little misguided, and Li Feng took advantage of the situation to easily pick the blue and score two points.
Li Feng scored such a crucial two points so easily, and the two teams were tied at once.
Li Feng lifted his weight lightly, and when everyone was nervous, he easily teased Kufors to score two points. At this time, George Karl could only call a timeout again, and at the same time, the Knicks players also rushed up one by one to hit Li Feng's chest. High five.
Li Feng is playing so beautifully!
Hubi Brown, who was on the commentary seat, also praised:
"Li Feng is not only capable, but also very smart, I am afraid that others dare not do this attack, but he dares to do it. And he did it so easily, combined with his three-point shot before. It can be said that Li Feng is a killer at a critical moment, and the more he reaches the critical moment. The more terrifying Li Feng is! ”
"Yes! On this fake fax, Li Feng is as simple as playing a game. It's such a crucial goal. In this way, it depends on the mentality of the Nuggets. ”
Jeff Van Gundy is most concerned about the Nuggets mentality right now. This is indeed the most important factor in the field right now.
George Karl called a timeout now, and he didn't set up any tactics, but adjusted the whole team mentally, and he kept reminding his players from the bench.
"Everyone, don't think about what happened, don't think about anything, just think like the game has just started, just as if the game is only four minutes now. We have four minutes left, don't think about anything, play well. ”
George Karl wanted his players to forget all the mistakes they had made, as well as to be reversed, and to seize the next four minutes.
If this is a team composed of guys like the Spurs or the Celtics, they are not old in mentality, these people may be able to do it, but the Nuggets can't, the Nuggets have always needed passion, and the Knicks' feat of chasing 20 points in a row has been deeply engraved in their hearts.
And because of the previous defeat, their state has declined by inertia, and at the same moment the Knicks are brave and aggressive, and their form has improved to 100 percent, or even 12 percent.
The mentality is different when the state is different, and the last game is still determined by the mentality, especially the last few minutes.
In the next 4 minutes of the game, the Nuggets did fight hard and played well, but the Knicks played even better, because the Knicks were more confident in their mentality.
The Knicks played a high-percentage shooting game in the last four minutes, and finally beat the Nuggets with a score of 112-109.
Li Feng, who played power forward in this game, contributed a big triple-double of 32 points, 17 rebounds and 15 assists, which was the 79th triple-double of Li Feng's career, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain, who was fourth in the all-time triple-double list, and moving towards Jason Kidd, who was third.
After the game, major media also paid attention to Li Feng's record!
The King of the Three Pairs
The New York Times front-page headline!!
This is the sixth time Li Feng has made a front-page headline in the New York Times, which reads:
"Some players may only have one or two triple-doubles in their careers, and some players have already started to make the list at the beginning of their careers, and this is exactly the case with Li Feng, a Chinese player from the New York Knicks, who is in his fourth season, and before that, he has won two championships for the New York Knicks, and he has 79 triple-doubles in the game!
A triple-double is an important statistic to measure a player's all-round on the basketball court, with 79 triple-doubles, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain's 78 times, Li Feng's career is just beginning, and he is only ahead of Oscar Robinson, Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd.
Once Big O Robinson's triple-double data is considered unsurpassable, but with reference to Li Feng's speed, Robinson's data will be doubled, if Li Feng plays in the NBA for 20 years, his triple-double data will be a terrifying 400 times, which is still a conservative estimate of success, in fact, if Li Feng wants, he can hit a triple-double in every game!
It can be said that a triple-double is a standard to measure a player's all-roundness, but for Li Feng, this standard is too low!
Modern basketball is progressing rapidly, and players such as LeBron James have a lot of triple-doubles, if more players like Li Feng emerge in the league, the standard of triple-doubles will be raised, whether it is 3 twenty or 35 No one knows the way, but this is not a dream!
We have counted all of Li Feng's records, Li Feng has played 17 times 35, if at this rate, Li Feng's 35 can also surpass the triple-double times of many players.
Li Feng, the Tyrannosaurus rex on the basketball court, any data, any record will not be sealed in front of him!
He broke Chamberlain's triple-double record, he once scored 80 points in a single game, we have reason to believe that Li Feng has a chance to break Chamberlain's record of 100 points in a single game, let's look forward to Li Feng's better performance! (To be continued......)
