Chapter 153: A Strong Return
>" not only assisted the team to break the deadlock, but also completed the stunner in the last moment! Once again, he became the hero of the team! ”
DJ Philip Thornton, who once satirized Li Feng, said excitedly.
The fans in the stands are also sparing no effort to shout Li Feng's name:
"Edge! Front! Front! ”
Madison Square Garden is like boiling lava, and the enthusiasm can never be extinguished.
At the press conference after Li Feng took a shower, a group of reporters surrounded him with long guns and short guns.
"Feng, congratulations on winning the game. How did you come up with the idea of playing a dunk at the end of the game? You know, you're running to the basket at the same time as Thornton is shooting, so you're so sure the basketball will bounce back and not three? ”
"It was a lot of people in the box, and I didn't think there was a good chance to get out of the box. However, I thought that I couldn't just watch the pioneers succeed, I wanted to give them good looks, so I thought of this method and did it, without any other scruples! ”
"Feng, someone said that you can't do it anymore, because you are injured, what do you want to say now!"
"It's not that anyone who says no, I just want to say, I did it!"
"Feng, Roy declared war on you before the game, and now that you've won the game, do you have anything to say to him?"
"This, I feel like I'm trying to express, Brandon, that my hand didn't fall in the hospital toilet."
"Striker, your team came close to being reversed with a 13-point lead?"
"We win mainly on the attack, and in the attack the players waste even ten chances. Maybe if you can catch it once, you can become a hero. A defender may be perfect for 47 minutes, but the slightest mistake in one minute can be a sinner. So, for the defenders. We should be more tolerant. ”
"Striker, next game, you're going to Phoenix to face the Suns. Do you have confidence in that game? ”
"Whether you have the confidence to play or not, I can only say that against a strong team like the Suns, we will only have a chance if we give it our all!"
"Feng, may I ask ......?"
……
Li Feng's performance has already slapped some media in the face, and the "Li Feng glass theory" is completely untenable. The media didn't mention it, but there will be no shortage of people who spoil the scenery.
"Feng, I want to ask you a question. It seems that you didn't shoot today, you have already shown your shooting ability in the game against the Warriors, is it because of the injury that makes you not good? ”
A guy with eyes and an Asian face, but speaking English.
See this guy. Li Feng thought that there were people in China who had demolished the stage, and he was a little speechless, and asked:
"May I ask who you are?"
The fellow replied haughtily:
"I'm Jaremilin, a citizen of the United States of America, and I'm a reporter for the New York Express!"
Let's be honest. Li Feng didn't like this guy very much, especially the arrogant tone. It's as if Americans are superior to Chinese. Special emphasis is placed on U.S. citizens.
The point is that this guy also has an Asian face.
However, Li Feng didn't care too much, and he still had to ask this kind of question at this time. Obviously, it's not long-sighted, just ignore it.
"Next!"
Li Feng didn't seem to hear it, and directly called the next one, and at this time, the reporter of the domestic media "Basketball Pioneer" next to him took the opportunity to act and directly squeezed the "Chinese" away.
"Li Feng, congratulations on your recovery, today you scored 18 points, 12 rebounds and your career-high 20 assists super triple-double, 20 assists but many good point guards have not achieved, you are an inside, do you have any secrets?" …,
"I just watched my teammates' positions a lot, the pass was hidden and fast, in fact, anyone can do it if they can take their chances, and the support of my teammates is the biggest contributor to my 20 assists!"
Li Feng replied with a pleasant face, very cooperative, in stark contrast to the attitude he had just had with Jia Lei Mirin, this scene was seen by Jia Lei Mirin, his eyes flashed with resentment, obviously his stomach had some bad water, and he hated Li Feng.
……
Li Feng was interviewed for nearly an hour or so before being let go by this group of reporters, but his watertight answer did not give the reporters a chance to "create" news.
Of course, the unpleasantness with Jaremilin will definitely be reported by someone, and even Jeremilin himself will take advantage of it to hype.
……
18 points, 11 rebounds and 20 assists, this super triple-double is shocking, Li Feng's performance is too perfect, and more importantly, Li Feng's goals can always crush the opponent's fighting spirit, and at the same time, with the dry land onion block and the god-like dunk and the most stunner, Li Feng has also become the most eye-catching star in the top ten balls this week.
In the history of the top ten balls, it is already rare for players to be selected for three sets of shots at the same time, not to mention that Li Feng also completed his performance at both offensive and defensive ends.
"The Tyrannosaurus Rex is back!"
ESPN expert Bill Simmons described Li Feng's comeback with such a title on his basketball homepage, and in the article, Simmons spared no effort to express his optimism about Li Feng's comeback prospects, and even positioned the Knicks and Grizzlies trade as the most classic club operation case in Knicks history.
ESPN expert Charlie Forde commented on the three young men who came to the Knicks from a comprehensive perspective.
Marcus Thornton: Diligence and relentless running give him a lot of opportunities, he already has top shooting ability, he always has comfortable receiving and shooting time under Li Feng's dispatch, and if he can develop well, his model is Danny Granger, not Eric Gordon.
James Harden: Although he lost Larry Hughes, who was still strong in the Thunder, James Harden has shown super lethality, his offensive power is being discovered, and the important thing is that he has another talent next to him.
Li Feng: He is not only a power forward, his influence radiates from the inside to the whole court, although he scores, but the Knicks' 45 balls are directly or indirectly related to him.
In addition to ESPN, major media outlets are also vying to cover the game.
The New York Times devoted a page directly to the game and the Knicks' latest situation.
"The Knicks beat the Trail Blazers at home, and in this game that was not favored, the second-to-last laugh in the East was the worst.
After losing Hughes, the Knicks' players were 'nobodies', but now at least they still have Li Feng, a particular Chinese who has been feared before, and now, he has announced that he is back with a super triple-double and a fantasy kill. Now whoever still looks at Li Feng from the perspective of a traditional striker, he is a fool, he is a special one, like Magic Johnson. In terms of his performance in this short period of time, Li Feng can be called the most passable striker in history, neither opponents nor injuries can stop him from playing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this player with great potential will open up an era of his own. ”
Although the "New York Times" is a media in New York, it cannot be controlled by the Knicks, but such media praise their own teams like this, not to mention the "New York Basketball Newspaper", the mouthpiece of the Knicks, the pages of the "New York Basketball Newspaper" were covered by the coverage of this game for several days after the game, Li Feng and Harden became the heroes of the fans, and groups of fans came to Madison just to see Li Feng's training. …,
Other local media, such as the Boston City Journal, couldn't help but say sourly when they saw Li Feng's amazing performance after his comeback:
"There is an old Chinese saying that a wise man must have a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must have a thousand thoughts, and the Knicks were lucky to get Li Feng after a year-by-year suicide deal. With the backing of a super-rich man like Dolan, the rise of the Knicks is a matter of time, but Li Feng's return has stimulated Thornton's potential, and now with the help of Li Feng, Harden has gradually become dazzling. Maybe it won't be long before another "James" appears on the Knicks.
The Washington Post was similarly surprised by the Knicks' performance, commenting:
"The Celtics, the second in the East, and the Los Angeles Lakers, the first in the West, are all deflated in front of the Trail Blazers, and the New York Knicks, who have just recovered from the core Li Feng, have given the Trail Blazers a fatal blow at home, which is really surprising, but from the perspective of the game process, this is normal, Li Feng is like an activator, originally the energy of the entire Knicks team was only 100, and only 60 could be played under a loose set of sand, but Li Feng made the players perfectly bonded and stimulated the team's potential. The 200-energy Knicks' victory over the Trail Blazers was unexpected but reasonable.
In addition to the media in the United States, Li Feng's comeback has once again become a hot topic in China.
It turned out that after three weeks out of the public eye, the domestic "Feng Hei" and some "anti-Chinese media" hyped Li Feng is not good, many fans and reporters think that after such a serious injury, it is difficult for Li Feng to return to the hot state of last season, and in recent days, Yi Jianlian is in good shape, in addition to the usual "angry picking" 2 rebounds and "chopping" 1 point game, he actually played a miraculous score double, and the attention of the media has been diverted.
But it only took forty-eight minutes for Li Feng to reverse the wind of the domestic media in one fell swoop, and many reporters sensitively realized that the guy who was jealous of the sky this season may have a strong outburst, and gradually began to increase the coverage of Li Feng and the Knicks, in addition to the brainwashing aunt CCAV Sports Channel, Shanghai, Guangdong and other local stations also began to reconsider broadcasting the game of this degenerate giant.
Li Feng's return ended the Knicks' six-game losing streak, and they have a six-win gap with the Pacers, who are eighth in the East, although it is a bit big, but with most of the season to go, anything can happen, and the Knicks' playoff situation is more optimistic. (To be continued......)
