Chapter 638: Wild Murderous Spirit
Li Feng finally stopped the bleeding for the Knicks and scored two points first, but it was not easy to catch up with the remaining five points in the remaining 2 minutes and 57 seconds.
The Spurs and Knicks fought to this point, and with more than 2 points in the end, the Spurs relied on the stars to take the lead.
What they did next was unmistakable, and it was the tactics of the stars. The Spurs slowly advanced to the Knicks' half, and only then did they open up the lineup, and all the personnel pulled away, Bonner covered Duncan in the penalty area, and then suddenly pulled to the free throw line to catch the ball, and then turned and passed the ball high and low to pass the basketball to Duncan's hands.
In the final moments of the Spurs, the main force they took out to play was Duncan. Duncan received the ball and did not rush to attack, but waited for his teammates to help him clear the court, and Leonard ran away from behind Duncan. Duncan and Cousins are back-to-one.
At this time, everyone knows that Cousins is dangerous, but everyone is hesitant, once Duncan is trapped, he is likely to pass the ball, and then there is an open space outside the three-point line.
Li Feng was even pulled to the bottom corner of the weak side by Ginobili, and he couldn't help defend at all, so he could only defend with his eyes.
Proving useless when it comes to eye-defending, Duncan shook a little in the low post and threw a straight shot into the mid-range.
Because the pace of the Spurs was relatively slow, the Spurs consumed 22 seconds in this round, but the score difference was reduced back to 7 points, and the Spurs had a 101-94 lead over the Knicks.
There were only 2 minutes and 35 seconds left, but there was still a 7-point difference, which gave Tyberdu a headache. If the game continues like this, the Knicks will have no chance, and the two stars of the Spurs have a lot of offensive certainty. But there is no extremely stable point on his side, JR Smith relies on his touch, and Li Feng must be close to the basket, which restricts the Knicks' ability to bite points at critical moments, and after thinking about it, Tyberdu knows that he must gamble.
He immediately called a timeout. Called the Knicks back from the court.
After calling a timeout, Tyberdu immediately made a new personnel arrangement, replacing Monroe, replacing Livingston, and letting Li Feng play power forward, and he sacrificed this small lineup. After arranging the substitution, Tyberdu went on to say:
"Remember, then we're mainly looking for three-point shots, and if you have three-point chances, you have to shoot. Remember to make a move. Be aggressive on the defensive end and take advantage of a chance to steal points. â
Tyberdu has made a bet, he has to bet on the three-point tactic, and this is the only response that Tyberdu can make in this situation.
At the end of the timeout, Bill Wharton looked at the commentary bench and saw that the Knicks were on such a lineup, and the old guy with a face as long as the Colorado Canyon immediately smiled and said:
"The Knicks are betting hard! It's a lot of fun. â
His counterpart in China, Director Zhang, also has words in his mouth:
"Oops! Ah! The Knicks are ready to fight for three-point tactics in more than 2 minutes, isn't it a little too early! â
The Knicks fans at ATT Arena are also much quieter at this time. Everyone knows that success or failure is here.
The Knicks tee off on the sideline, Livingston received the ball and Parker hurriedly grabbed it, but there was no chance to shoot at the first point.
At this time, the Knicks played JR Smith's baseline cover tactics, and Li Feng and Cousins mobilized JR Smith to cover on the baseline together.
J.R. Smithstone took two covers and ran to the opposite corner. The Spurs' Ginobili and Leonard didn't keep up, faster than their legs, the Spurs were too old, and Livingston remembered Taberdeau's words when he saw this opportunity. Hurriedly shot and passed.
J.R. Smith catches the ball in the corner, and when there is no one in front of him, he throws a three-pointer with his lewd shooting stance.
The chances are good. But J.R. Smith's hand is really fucked up, and the more nervous he is, the more J.R. Smith's three-point shooting fails.
The basketball smashed into the back edge of the hoop and jumped out directly, and the basketball was easily held by Ginobili, who was waiting for another section.
J.R. Smith misses a shot, and the entire ATT arena sighs.
However, the Spurs have become more and more calm, leading by 9 points, with 2 minutes and 28 seconds left, the Spurs' advantage has expanded, the chips have increased, and they should and must be more calm at this time.
The Spurs, who stabilized, suppressed the advancement, and when it came to the Knicks' half, they still wanted to play Duncan, and it was too easy for Duncan to single out Cousins today.
But at this time, the Knicks' defense is different from just now, and the forward grabbing is very strong, and the gambling-style bag inside is also very ferocious.
As a result, it is difficult for Duncan to receive the ball on the inside, which is also a sad thing for the interior player, who is much more difficult to receive the ball than the outside player in critical and tense moments.
The Spurs Duncan couldn't catch the ball, Ginobili immediately came out and detoured to the free throw line to catch the ball.
As soon as he came over, he got the basketball, and after getting the ball, Ginobili faced Li Feng, took a probe step, and then shook his arm, and pulled away from Li Feng, after having a distance. Ginobili suddenly stepped back, avoiding physical contact with Li Feng, and used his leg length to open up a large distance, which he threw backwards and jumped.
If Li Feng still has a chance to block and harass Ginobili, but now Li Feng has only one.
Ginobili hadn't given himself a chance to make physical contact, so Li Feng almost watched Ginobili lean back and send the basketball into his own hoop.
"Huh!"
With the crisp sound of basketball entering the net, the ATT arena was silent.
Bill Wharton also said:
"It's over! With just 2:08 left on the clock, the Spurs have an 11-point lead. Now the Knicks are suffering. â
Director Zhang was also worried about XXTV and said:
"Why didn't Li Feng ban him! In this way, the Knicks have almost no chance! â
At the same time, Tyberdu also didn't say a word, and when the bet was placed, he couldn't get it back, so he could only resign himself to fighting to the death.
The players on the Knicks' side are not so confident on their faces, and the Knicks were so fishy before, on the one hand, because the staffing is really not good, and on the other hand, because the Knicks really don't have a spiritual leader. Therefore, when Li Feng comes, he can often drive the Knicks's love and temperament.
In the face of the Knicks' step-by-step pressing, Li Feng was also anxious, and when he ran to the Spurs halfcourt. So I went back and talked to Livingston.
"You'll all run out in a while, I'll run inside and see if I can play a 2+1."
Livingston nodded a little uncertainly.
The Knicks played three-point tactics, so as soon as the Spurs' halfcourt passed, everyone stood outside the three-point line, even Cousins stood in the high post and tried to cover his teammates and shoot three-pointers. At this time, Li Feng went against the trend and jumped to the basket all of a sudden, naturally there were not many people to care about him, Li Feng picked up a bargain, and when he jumped to the basket, the basket was very empty. The Spurs had only Duncan in town under the basket.
Livingston wanted to pass a three-pointer, but the Spurs were so watched on the outside that he couldn't find an opportunity. Seeing Li Feng, it seemed that there was a ready-made opportunity, and his basketball was directly passed to Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng received the ball at this time in the far waist position, there was no one around, and Duncan was waiting for him in the penalty area.
If Li Feng shoots a mid-range, Duncan won't care about him, let Li Feng throw, and bet on his luck. But Li Feng didn't pick up cheap shots. Instead, he lowered his head and rushed towards Duncan.
A small forward has to single out a tall interior line at close range, which is definitely a very low-odd and death-seeking behavior.
But Li Feng did just that. Ignoring nothing, not caring about anything, he dribbled in one step, screamed and jumped up and crashed into Duncan's body. At the same time, it is turned on.
Duncan and Li Feng are indeed half acquaintances, but this is a game, not a dinner. Duncan was also fully focused on the team at such a critical moment. So he was also desperate, and with Li Feng's shouting, he also roared, and stretched out his hand to cover Li Feng.
When Li Feng bumped into Duncan, he immediately caused Li Feng to bounce off Duncan's body. You must know that Duncan is one of the few genuine insiders left in the league, and Li Feng popped out all of a sudden, gaining a little room to shoot.
Duncan and Li Feng made contact in an instant, and he knew the situation of the two of them the most, so he stretched out his hand and flaunted Li Feng. At this time, Li Feng also happened to shoot, Duncan's hand hit Li Feng's elbow, and at the same time, Li Feng only pushed the basketball to the basket with the strength of his wrist.
The basketball flew out, spun around the hoop, and landed in the hoop. Li Feng fell to the ground because his attention was on shooting, and he rolled on the ground several times like a potato.
The basketball went in, and the referee's whistle also sounded at this time, 2+1.Although Li Feng did not have a three-point range, he relied on his desperate spirit to win a three-point opportunity for the team. And free throws don't take time!
Li Feng got up from the ground, touched his arm that hurt a lot, and then raised his arm towards the ATT arena as he walked.
A basketball kid who is desperate, a savage and fierce fighter who only wants to win and not for other fighters, and a teenager who can instantly move the hearts of fans. Now that he was standing there, as Li Feng's arms were raised, the ATT arena was once again filled with the Knicks' earth-shattering cheers.
In the tide of cheers, Li Feng stepped onto the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily.
When Li Feng made a free throw, Bill Wharton suddenly said jealously in the commentary seat:
"This Chinese! The incitement is really strong, he is simply a natural spiritual leader. â
Li Feng does have a bit of incitement, but if he doesn't have the spirit of playing hard, can he have incitement! To put it bluntly, Li Feng's incitement comes from the fact that he really dares to fight. That's why everyone is infected by him.
In bursts of cheers, the Knicks fans who came to the ATT arena at the Spurs' home stadium today were no longer confused or silent, but stood in the stands and began to chant Li Feng's name in unison:
"Li Feng! Li Feng! Li Feng! Li Feng! â
A Chinese name, through the mouths of tens of thousands of people of all colors, resounded in foreign countries.
This scene suddenly made the somewhat indignant Director Zhang excited, he was on the other side of the ocean, and his voice was a little choked and said: "
Li Feng, that's really good. â
People are not afraid of being poor and frustrated, they are afraid of having no backbone, and no matter how tall and handsome and rich they are, they are also a waste.
At this time, the backbone, morale, and arrogance of the Knicks were finally awakened by Li Feng again. At this time, Tyberdu also suddenly woke up, he ran to the sideline and shouted at Livingston and all the Knicks players:
"Next, fight around Li Feng! He is our final core, let Li Feng decide the winner! â
Taberdu shouted. Let Li Feng decide the winner! It really made the Knicks a player, and there was a burst of awe-inspiring in my heart.
But at this time, everyone also understood in their hearts that even J.R. Smith agreed that Li Feng was the best choice for the team.
This roar of Tyberdu was heard in the ears of the Spurs players, but it was extremely harsh, as if they did not have zĂ i.
When the Spurs slowly advanced again, the Knicks' morale and defensive intensity improved, and Duncan had a harder time receiving the ball inside. At this time, Ginobili glanced at Li Feng. Go out again to catch the ball.
After receiving the ball, Ginobili fell to the horn position again, and Li Feng followed closely to defend.
Just now Tyberdu said that he would hand over the game to himself, and now Li Feng is staring at Ginobili, and he knows it in his heart. The final victory or defeat of the game depends on whether he can keep an eye on Ginobili and then show his strength on the offensive end.
The pressure was all on his body, and this pressure did not make Li Feng feel heavy, but awakened the fanaticism and wildness in his blood.
Now under this pressure, Li Feng's murderous soul began to burn violently again. burned through every blood vessel of Li Feng and every pore of Li Feng.
Excited, fanatical, so that Li Feng did not flinch. However, eager to try, his face was full of light, and his eyes were radiating an indomitable light.
In this state, Li Feng's defense. Cautiously focused, always vigilant, standing right in front of Ginobili. Always ready to attack, like a tarantula in a spider's web.
Ginobili doesn't like Li Feng's fanaticism, his world is breezy and elegant, and basketball is even beautiful in his heart, not a barbarian game, but now a barbarian is looking at himself with a provocative gaze, Ginobili is very unhappy.
With a shake of his arm, he suddenly took a step forward, wanting to use his skills and talent to prove that Li Feng's fanaticism was as useless as savage ignorance.
But just as Ginobili was taking a step, Li Feng suddenly seized the opportunity like a beast crawling in the woods, stepped forward and started to slam Ginobili's waist and eyes.
Li Feng's step was fierce, ruthless, fierce, and unreserved, and his strength and weight exploded in a concentrated manner. Li Feng killed Ginobilica in order to make him unable to make a move, and even made a mistake. But what Li Feng didn't expect was that when Li Feng posted this step, Ginobili screamed, and his body was crooked, and he really made a direct mistake.
Li Feng picked up the basketball, turned around and ran towards the Spurs' halfcourt, when the Spurs shrank towards Li Feng, Li Feng's long pass was directly sent to Livingston, and Livingston made an empty three-point shot.
"Huh!"
The three-point shot was made, and the difference between the Knicks and the Spurs was reduced from the original 11 points to 5 points, and there was still 1 minute and 30 seconds left, and the score of the two teams was 115-110.
It's just 5 minutes and two balls, one minute and 30 seconds, and you can work a lot of things.
Seeing the dawn of victory again, Li Feng hugged Livingston and opened his arms towards the ATT arena again, this time welcoming Li Feng not only with cheers, but also with thunderous applause.
The Spurs' otherwise good situation was forced to this point, and Popovich touched the beard on his face and called a long timeout with a melancholy expression.
The Spurs were pushed into this situation by the Knicks, which was really unexpected by Popovich.
The timeout ended, and the final one-and-a-half-minute game continued, with the Spurs teeing off from the touchline, Parker catching the ball at the top of the arc and immediately passing the ball to Ginobili.
Ginobili stood at the top of the arc and dribbled slowly, waiting for time and timing, even in the last minute and a half, the Spurs were still playing steadily, which was inevitable for their lineup.
Seeing that 24 seconds were about to run out, Duncan suddenly ran out of the box and made a stop at the top of the arc to provide Ginobili with a high cover.
The quality of the cover of an old monster of Duncan's level is still very high, and once a cover comes, Li Feng can't get around it at all, and he can't push Duncan away.
Li Feng was blocked by Duncan, thanks to Cousins' experienced defense, he rushed out to the front and stuck it in front of Ginobili, Ginobili took a step to the side of Cousins, and immediately jumped and made a jump shot.
But when he made a move, his back hurt again. Today's continuous tough confrontation with Li Feng made Ginobili's back injury a little overwhelmed, so Ginobili didn't shoot this ball with a good chance.
Ginobili missed the shot, and the ATT arena immediately burst into cheers. Livingston, who was under the basket, immediately picked up the rebound, and the entire Knicks rushed towards the Spurs' half. In terms of the Spurs' pursuit of stability, the difference is that the Knicks are absolutely fast, and now the Knicks are still five points behind the Spurs!
The Knicks were running wild at this time, and the Spurs were also running wild at the critical moment in the end. So the Knicks ran to the Spurs and didn't have too many chances in the half.
However, the team has established the absolute core position of Li Feng's point, so as soon as he encountered a difficult bone, the basketball was handed over to Li Feng.
Li Feng received the ball at the top of the arc, and he wanted to lead the team to run wildly with the strength of one person, but Li Feng actually didn't have much to do. His only way was to fight to the death, and Li Feng himself knew this, so he immediately called a cover after receiving the ball.
Cousins came up to help Li Feng block Leonard, and then Li Feng took the left side and rushed towards the Spurs' basket.
Li Feng is still facing Duncan this time, facing such a big center. Li Feng had no way out. He could only use the strength and weight of his whole body to crash into Duncan's body like crazy again.
It's easy to use one move once or twice, but if you use it too much, it won't work, Saint Seiya doesn't eat the same trick, Duncan should have a much higher IQ than Saint Seiya. So Duncan was also prepared, this time Duncan stood firm and resisted Li Feng, and then went up and followed by a harassment that did not give Li Feng the slightest chance, so that. Li Feng has no space to shoot at all, and there is no score at all when he throws the basketball.
smashed into the rebound and rebounded back, and Li Feng also stumbled several steps on the ground. However, at this time, Duncan was tough because of Li Feng. He also didn't grab the rebound, which fell behind Duncan.
Li Feng's footsteps were unsteady, and another fish jumped towards the basketball, and with a little finger, he pointed the basketball to JR Smith, who had just run over.
J.R. Smith was not in a good position to receive the ball, and there was a defender in front of him, but he was in a hurry to make a shot, and he was immediately capped by Bonner, who had just run back.
Jr Smith's shot was also blocked, and the basketball became ownerless again, Li Feng, Duncan, Bonner, J.R. Smith, Ginobili and several others rushed towards the basketball together.
The first of these is Duncan, the job of scrambling for the floor ball is too difficult for Duncan, and then the second behind is Ginobili, who is still worried about his back injury. In this way, Li Feng crossed his arm and pressed Bonner, who grabbed the floor ball first.
When he got the floor ball, Li Feng seemed to be a perpetual motion machine, when Duncan was still panting, Ginobili was glaring, and Bonner was pulling.
Li Feng didn't care about himself, like an animal, picked up the basketball and sat on his back, then turned around and threw the basketball into the Spurs' basket.
Li Feng relied on his own desperate scramble to finally narrow the difference between the two teams to 3 points, and there was still 1 minute before the end of the game.
The score of the two teams on the scoreboard is 115-112!
One minute, a three-point difference, this gap is not a gap at all, and anything can happen in the next minute.
The nervous emotion was like a morning fog silently enveloping the entire ATT arena, and at this time, whether it was the fans on the Knicks' side, the players, the coaching staff, or the fans on the Spurs' side, the players' coaching staff, all their heartbeats were three points faster.
After Li Feng scored, he looked quite big and took the overlord step again, his mouth glanced to the side, and he strode back towards his own half, at this time, ESPN's camera has been following Li Feng's footsteps, taking every subtle expression of his into the camera, even the flying sweat does not let go.
In today's game, in the last few minutes, although Li Feng is nominally not the core leader of the Knicks, he has proved with practical actions on the court that he is the spiritual pillar of the entire Knicks. (To be continued......)
