The Knicks' defense couldn't hold it, and the offense immediately had problems.

The Knicks had difficulty receiving the ball on the Hawks' half, and Dragic, who had the ball, was a little hesitant to pass the ball, so it was three seconds to move on the low-post goal.

The Knicks' offense didn't work, and they paid a three-second price to return the ball to the Hawks.

Seeing that the Knicks' offense was getting worse and worse, and the Hawks were unforgiving, Tony Teague once again controlled the ball.

First using a high cover from Horford, and then immediately using a high cover from Millsap.

Teague, the two high-post screeners, suddenly landed in the Knicks' mid-lane, and more importantly, Horford and Millsap were quite accurate. One ripped open to 45 degrees, and the other sank to the bottom line.

In this way, the Knicks' defense was completely stretched, Tiguza came in, the Knicks retracted slightly, and Tigma passed the ball to Horford on the baseline.

Horford took the ball and shot from mid-range again, and today Horford didn't know what was wrong, and his mid-range shooting was really accurate.

The basketball fell to the Knicks' basket all at once, and Horford attacked again and opened up the margin a bit.

The Hawks are now Teague, Williams and Horford are connected to score points one after another, and the Knicks are difficult to attack, and their good low-post offense meets the more good Hawks. Li Feng was blocked on the outside, and the score could not be continued.

At this time, the shortcomings of the Knicks' lack of excitement and flexibility on the wing were exposed, and every team is definitely not perfect and has shortcomings. It's up to the opponent to grasp these weaknesses and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Today, the Hawks seized the shortcomings of the Knicks, used their own advantageous low-post defense to offset the opponent's low-post offense, and then contained Li Feng's strong point.

The Knicks felt a little helpless.

In this case, the Eagles occupy an absolute advantage, scoring points again and again on the offensive end, and weakening the Eagles' advantage to the greatest extent on the defensive end.

As a result, the Knicks at Madison Square Garden had a hard time, and by the end of the first quarter, the Knicks had only scored 19 points, while the Hawks had scored 25 points.

Tyberdu's carefully arranged counterattack battle, but as a result, he was hit with a stick when he opened the door, and the Hawks beat the Knicks with extremely old tactics.

At the end of the first quarter. The Knicks' bunch of players are also sullen. Bill Wharton, who was on the sidelines, said:

"In today's game, the Knicks suffered a heavy blow in the first quarter, and if they lost a good start, they lost a good lead! Now the Knicks are in some trouble! ”

Joan Barry also said a little proudly at this time:

"I said that it would be harder for the Knicks to turn the tables on the Hawks than it would be to the sky! They were better prepared than the Knicks, not only playing to the strengths of Horford and Millsap on the inside, but also freeing up Teague. Most importantly. They used guò to cut the defense and the wheel battle to limit Li Feng. makes Li Feng unable to get the ball without the ball, it can be said that who can limit Li Feng. Whoever can beat the Knicks! ”

Li Feng was depressed in the first quarter, it was difficult to receive the ball, and after receiving the ball, the eagles also made small movements, and they didn't play well at all. Playing this kind of opponent is not something that can be overcome with physical and ball skills alone, but also a test of IQ and ball quotient.

Li Feng seriously summarized his performance in the first section, in the past ten minutes. I was not prepared enough for the Eagles' defense, and I was not prepared psychologically and in terms of playing style, so I just fought hard when I was fighting, so the effect was not good.

And as the core of the team, I can't help the team achieve tactical goals, and I can't help the team if I can't hold the ball.

Li Feng thought about it at this time, and came over directly, and said:

"Boss! I can't play some off-ball offense for a while, but at least it will help the team to open up the space and give the other players more chances. ”

"And I'm asking for me to defend the opposing perimeter arrows, I'll defend Williams when Williams is there, and I'll defend Teague when Teague is there!"

Li Feng took care of the two most physically demanding tasks, and Taibodu also realized Li Feng's determination, he immediately looked at Li Feng and said:

"Feng, will there be a problem with your body like this?"

Li Feng has never been worried about the body, his recovery ability is getting stronger and stronger, and with the recent time limit given to Li Feng by Taberdu, there is no pressure now.

So Li Feng immediately nodded and said, "No problem!" ”

Tyberdu also knows that players like Li Feng cannot be measured by common sense, and their talent can fully support them to complete some things that ordinary people can't imagine. Tyberdu nodded immediately, and then yelled at the other players:

"Come here! I have something to say! ”

"The Eagles are not a killer of strong teams, they are really a hard bone. But we can't admit defeat lightly, I think you are quite clear about what Li Feng said. In the second quarter, we have to start with the off-ball tactics, and from now on we have to fight a tough battle, fight with the Eagles to defend one city and one pool, fight every bit, don't their Hawks like to fight! We're going to kill them! Run them to death and see who has more strength and who has more body! ”

Tyberdu was also in a hurry, and directly gave the order for a bloody battle.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Tyberdu was still not willing to put Li Feng into it so early, and now the Knicks do have some capital to delay putting Li Feng on the court.

The Knicks have Parsons, Jones and others who have supported the interior of the bench this season, and the outside line is Livingston and J.R. Smith, who is good at shooting. The Knicks' bench lineup does not lack scoring ability, but it does not lack core, so Li Feng can sit on the bench for a while longer.

Sure enough, Jones lived up to expectations on the court, playing very hard for the main lineup. He got on the pitch and played very well.

completely blew up the Hawks' backup power forward Mike Scott, mainly because Scott was too short to meet a big forward like Jones who could shoot. Scott couldn't do it at all.

The Hawks, seeing that Scott was not good, immediately replaced Ayon to defend Jones. Ayong's height is enough, but his footsteps can't be compared with Jones, and he was still beaten by Jones.

After a while off the bench, the Knicks instead chased the score, and in the third minute of the second quarter, the two teams were tied at 31-31.

Tyberdu saw that his side finally came up with a prominent scoring point, how could the Eagles be so easy to strangle, and immediately put on Jr Smith and Li Feng to support the team's firepower.

Li Feng returned to the court, and the substitution on the Eagles' side was completed. The Eagles, on their side, started attacking first.

The Eagles are Williams in the backcourt at this time. Korver, Shervin Mark, up front is a combination of Scott and Ayon. As far as the Eagles are concerned, the substitute lineup is extremely low in terms of name alone. But it's not easy to tear them up on the pitch.

But now Williams gets the ball from the back. Li Feng immediately pounced in front of Williams like the wind.

Williams was also aware of Li Feng's red eyes when he saw it. Today Li Feng is going to work hard, Williams is known as the poor version of Iverson, and he plays very evil. But his evil is a symptom, and behind the evil is Williams's extremely superb basketball IQ.

Williams is a very brainy player, and he doesn't do that kind of thankless stupid thing. As soon as he saw that Li Feng was going to fight hard, he immediately called Scott's cover, and then when he came in through the gap, he saw Li Feng squeezing Scott aside and killing his side.

Li Feng knocked Scott away, Williams' cover was in vain, and he could only pass the ball to Shervin Mark on one side.

Shervin Mark is a good young player who gets the ball a little quicker and then takes a step towards the Knicks' basket to get on the ball and shoot.

Just when he was about to shoot, Li Feng pounced all of a sudden, delaying Mark's shot, and Mark had no way to pass the ball back to Williams, but Li Feng quickly shrank back.

Li Feng's defense was very fierce this time, and his feet were fast enough, and he pounced on Mark once and immediately blocked it in front of Williams.

Li Feng desperately assisted the defense on the defensive end, and the Hawks' tactical offense was zero, and Williams could only pass the ball to Horford in the low post to attack.

The moment Horford got the ball, Jones immediately went up, although Jones is a newborn calf, but this person is a big life.

At critical moments, it can fight and hold steadily, although the style of the ball is not gorgeous, but it is enough to use. In terms of basic style, he and Horford are both rustic players.

Horford took the ball up and hit Jones for a while, and there was no movement without much topping, no collision at once, Horford knew that time was running out, and immediately turned back and still had a hook.

As a result, Jones also missed the shot under the interference.

The Knicks finally took the Hawks down, and both Li Feng and Jones showed very tough defense at this critical moment.

It was the turn of the Knicks to attack, and the Hawks really still implemented a strong defense against Li Feng, and Li Feng fought Williams to the death At this time, Williams also turned around and fought Li Feng to the death. However, the way the two people fight to the death is different, Li Feng is the pursuit of physical contact and the pursuit of hand-to-hand combat.

However, Williams pursued maximum harassment and interference, and did not let Li Feng be happy in any way.

Under this kind of defense, Li Feng really couldn't catch the ball at the first point, but Li Feng immediately shouted at his teammates: "Cover!" ”

Li Feng shouted, and Vucevic and Jones on the inside line immediately formed a double cover of the bottom line.

Li Feng shook off Williams with a no-ball run, and J.R. Smith, who got the ball, immediately passed the basketball to Li Feng.

At this time, Korver, who was on the other side, quickly pounced to defend Li Feng, but Li Feng met him with a feint and then took a step to the Eagles' basket, just when Li Feng was about to attack the basket.

Millsap really didn't want Li Feng to be happy, so he came over and slapped Li Feng down and sent Li Feng directly to the free throw line.

The implementation of the overall strategy of the Eagles is really ruthless, saying that if you don't give Li Feng a chance, you won't give it, and you won't let Li Feng catch the ball, and once Li Feng receives it, once an offensive situation is formed, he will immediately make a decisive foul, and he would rather let Li Feng go to the free throw line than let Li Feng score in a sports battle, that is, he won't let Li Feng play his hand.

Li Feng also glanced at Millsap coldly when he went to the free throw line, the eagles are hard to bite, and I, Li Feng, are not easy to mess with.

At the free throw line, Li Feng made two free throws, and then immediately rushed towards Williams.

Now the core of the Hawks' bench is Williams, and strangling Williams is equivalent to strangling the source of the Hawks' organization, so Li Feng is extremely willing to come up and oppress Williams.

Li Feng's body is outstanding, and he comes up to defend desperately, and Williams is also struggling. However, Williams is not a person who is willing to admit defeat, seeing Li Feng's defense, he also used his back dribble to tease Li Feng.

If it was before, Li Feng really had no way to do this kind of fancy sports warfare, but now that Li Feng has upgraded his quick reaction, although there is no way to break the ball, he can implement strong harassment.

Just when Williams provoked Li Feng, Li Feng went up very accurately and almost broke Williams' basketball.

Williams lost control a little here, Li Feng immediately defended closely, and then Foye, who had a very tacit understanding with Li Feng, came up and defended with Li Feng and suddenly sandwiched Williams in the middle.

Williams was also a great deal of dealing with the bag, and immediately a long pass from behind the baseline wanted to pass the basketball to Horford.

But where did Horford have Jones's fast legs, Jones came up and steals the basketball all of a sudden. Jones, who steals the basketball, quickly passes the ball to the front, and immediately passes the ball to Li Feng, who is already running.

This time, when Li Feng paid attention to the ball and ran towards the Hawks halfcourt, he saw that Williams, who was running back from the side, was about to attack him, and he immediately passed the ball to J.R. Smith on the other side.

Jr was unguarded, and when he got the basketball, it was a three-pointer on the three-point line.

"Brush!"

J.R. Smith's three-pointer went in, and when the two teams played a mixed lineup at the same time, the Knicks actually overtook the score.

At this point, it was the Eagles' turn to have a headache, and Woodson adjusted very quickly and immediately got up and called a timeout.

After Woodson called a timeout, he immediately switched to the main backcourt Teague and Jefferson, and the Hawks switched to a full main team.

In this case, Taberdu did not fall with the wind, but still used the mixed lineup that works well now.

Tyberdu and the Knicks and Hawks are completely two style teams, with the Hawks on track and the Knicks on improvise. (To be continued......)
