Chapter 370: Extremely Miserable

(Revised later)

When the Knicks' players rested for two days to prepare for the second round, the other teams were still fighting, and the east and west were very miserable, especially in the East, except for the Knicks and Bucks, the other six teams all reached the seventh game.

The Nets beat the Hawks in a tiebreaker, the Pacers beat the Celtics, and the Bulls eliminated the Heat.

In the West, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 4-2, the Thunder defeated the Rockets 4-1, the Warriors won three consecutive games against the Nuggets 4-3, and the Lakers defeated the Clippers 4-2.

In this way, the Knicks' opponent in the second round is the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers have been very strong this year, especially after Granger's recovery, with ferocious firepower, shooting an average of 21.7 points per game, forming a trident with George at 19.6 and David Waiters with 16.8 points, while Hibbert on the inside developed a low-post single this year and was successfully selected as an All-Star, George Hill is also a strong player.

The second round began against this backdrop, and in the first game, the Knicks will host the Indiana Pacers.

The starting lineup for the Pacers' first game was the same: center Roy Hibbert, power forward David West, small forward Paul George, shooting guard Danny Granger, and point guard George Hill.

The Knicks' starters returned to the twin towers, center DeMarcus Cousins, power forward Greg Monroe, small forward Li Feng, scoring guard James Harden, and point guard Derrick Rose.

Hibbert and Cousins jumped the ball, and Uncle Cousins was physically good enough, but he lost to Hibbert.

Hill ran to the front court with the ball, he tried to break through, but was blocked by Rose with a crosswalk, and Rose came to the Knicks to defend much better.

Granger ran out of the three-point line to answer, Harden followed closely, and Granger beat George to become the boss again after recovering from injury, not because of Bird's support, but because of his super high efficiency of 55% + 48% + 88% entering the 190 club for the first time in a single season. Granger's offense, George can't be compared, especially the consistency on the offensive end.

Glancing at Harden with a solemn expression, Granger smiled, and the ball in both hands simply rose from outside the three-point line.

Harden was caught off guard, and by the time he jumped, the opponent had already shot, and Cousins took over the basket and watched the basketball drill into the hoop.

Li Feng ran to the free throw area, but the Pacers followed him with Hibbert's misalignment, not giving a single step.

Ross bullies Hill. After hitting the back for three or four seconds, he suddenly turned around and rushed to the inside line with Hibbert and Li Feng, but Hibbert was unmoved. Just follow Li Feng's side.

Rose frowned, rushed into the box to draw West to the defense, he quickly threw the ball towards the hoop, Cousins veins veins jumped, stepped on the spring and rose into the air, grabbed the ball and swung his arm into the hoop.

Cousins and Ross clapped their hands, looked at Li Feng playfully, and said:

"Hi. Feng, do you want to see Uncle Cousins driving a car and tricking the Pacers today? ”

Li Feng rolled his eyes as he stepped back and said:

"Watch your tone, boy, the person in front of you is the MVP of the season! It's also a Lianzhuang MVP! ”

Granger asked for the ball as soon as half-time was over. Rushing to the inside with the ball, Harden had no good way but to carry it.

Taking a step to the three-point line, Granger slammed his body. The sole of his shoe rubbed against the floor and made a piercing screech, relying on the strong knee joint and friction to stabilize his figure, shaking off Harden and jumping out of his hand.

"Smack!"

Li Feng, who was outside the three-point line on the right wing, rushed up like lightning like a predatory viper. The big hand pressed on the ball and slapped it hard at the backcourt.

Rose grabbed the ball, the backcourt changed to the frontcourt, he advanced quickly, and Hill and others rushed to catch up.

Ross didn't care about this, and ran forward with his head down. Granger also chased the front court after landing, and he had the fastest pace on the court.

After entering the inside line, Rose ignored Hill and Granger on the left and right flanks and jumped straight up.

Granger roared and raised his hand to block it, but as soon as he raised his arm, the ball flew out in reverse.

This made Granger a little confused, would he be able to block it in the air? It's not scientific. If it wasn't blocked, then the ball flew in the opposite direction, and there was only one answer, Rose passed.

Li Feng received the ball outside the three-point line, and this time Hibbert didn't follow him, revealing the empty space, he jumped up easily, and shook his wrist to send the ball out.

"Huh!" Granger shook his hand, looked at Li Feng with fanatical eyes, and said:

"Feng, are you interested in scoring points?"

"Not interested."

Li Feng said simply.

Granger isn't too passionate either, he's more poised and trash talk is just an occasional toy. Hill gave the ball to Granger, who used his strong body to hold up against Harden, slammed the ball with his right hand with a roar, and crushed it inside like a tank.

Harden was fierce enough, but he still couldn't withstand such a strange force and was directly pushed away.

Granger accelerated like a loach, took a step past Harden, and went straight inside.

Li Feng came up to make up for the defense, and Harden was also chasing behind, just when everyone thought that Granger would face Li Feng directly, he suddenly turned around, came to a dragon tail swing and withdrew from the three-point line, and then made a quick jump shot.

After the ball fell to the Nets, the fans in Madison Square Garden couldn't help but applaud, Granger's return shot was so wonderful that even opponents had to cheer for him: after a successful breakthrough, he turned around and gave up the advantage to jump from beyond the three-point line, how many people in the league have such confidence and pride?

"6-3, I'm ahead."

Granger smiled proudly.

Seeing this, Cousins leaned in and said:

"Great MVP, someone is going to provoke you."

Li Feng nodded with a smile and said:

"He's provoking me, like a lot of teams do with Kobe."

Seeing the bloodthirsty smile on Li Feng's face, Cousins smiled at Granger: "

You're going to be out of luck. ”

This time, Li Feng still asked for the ball in a high position, he leaned over and pressed his butt against Hibbert behind him, and shook his shoulders after getting the ball.

Hibbert was unmoved, and then Li Feng took his left foot as the central foot, turned around and stepped out in one step, and his body was about to jump as soon as he was short.

This time Hibbert could no longer remain unmoved.

He hurriedly cut a step. At the moment when he started, Li Feng's right foot was quickly pulled back and turned around again. However, this time he slapped the ball with his left foot, directly staggered Hibbert's defense, and held the ball to the inside.

Hibbert was shaken away.

Li Feng was like a mammoth in a duel, bravely rushing into the inner line.

West had no choice but to drop Cousins to come up and make up for it. George switched to Cousins, and Li Feng ignored this, still firmly rushing forward.

West stepped out of the penalty area, Li Feng's feet trampled on the floor fiercely, the calf muscle lines were clearly revealed, this jump Li Feng's amazing explosive power and bullet speed were revealed, West just blinked, and the opponent's lower abdomen was already level with his head.

In the air, Li Feng shook his body like an eagle with wings outstretched. The strength of his waist and abdomen allows him to keep moving forward.

West didn't have time to jump, and watched in amazement as a dark cloud came down his head. The other party just stood up to him. rushed to the basket and waved his arms angrily.

"Die!"

Li Feng roared, as if a muffled thunder sounded in mid-air, he turned sideways to the rebound, twisted his head to look directly at the hoop, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and the muscles on his arms were raised and bruised. Bang dang!

The basketball hoop shook for a while, and Li Feng rode West domineeringly and hung on the hoop.

Earlier Granger's three-pointer won applause from the opposing Knicks fans after this dunk. Madison Square Garden was transformed into Normandy, where the Allies had landed, and the cheers and cheers were like Nazi shelling and gunfire, which could shatter people's eardrums.

The referee blows the whistle and he has to give it his all. Otherwise, you won't be able to hear the whistle: West is still stepping on his left foot in the reasonable collision zone, and if he doesn't jump here, it would be a foul to block the opponent.

Li Feng hit the penalty and glanced at Granger with a smile. Road:

"Danny, you succeeded, but you're also unlucky!"

Granger's three-pointer is a morale booster. But compared with Li Feng's breakthrough dunk, he knew that if he wanted to win back the court, he had to hit back a violent dunk, so when the Pacers attacked, he directly wanted the ball.

Harden was stimulated by Li Feng's dunk and was in good spirits, Granger rushed forward quickly, and he followed sideways without retreating.

Granger came to the three-point line and came to a hard brake, Harden gritted his teeth and stuck his body to keep it out of position, and when Granger picked up speed again, he followed again.

After making several breakthrough moves in a row without success, Granger was a little impetuous, and he saw that Li Feng had the meaning of a bag, so he passed the ball to George.

Against George, it was Li Feng. For George, a "Durant" type of player, Li Feng is the best, he blocked George with his broad body, and the elbow of his right arm silently pressed against the opponent's back, and then exerted force, making George miserable.

In order to get rid of Li Feng's entanglement, George took advantage of his good sense of movement, quickly shook his body, confused his opponent, turned clockwise and took two steps forward, and jumped quickly to throw his hand like a defender.

"Get out!"

A roar was like the roar of a prehistoric beast, and the basketball had just left George's hand, and it was hit hard all of a sudden, and it was slapped out of the air by Li Feng!

Li Feng and his second-to-back performances turned Madison Square Garden into a hurricane-bellied Pacific Ocean, with fans waving their snow-white Knicks No. 0 jersey and their faces scarlet. But if you think that the Pacers just surrendered, it can only be said that you don't know much about this old powerhouse, especially Granger, the calmer the person, the more fierce the energy when he bursts out. Looking at 11-17 on the scoreboard, Granger's rock-hard expression began to loosen. A faint smile was revealed.

He nodded to Hill and said:

"Dude, give me the ball, look at me!"

When the Knicks organized their defensive lineup, Harden stuck in front of Granger, and as soon as the latter got the ball, his spirit immediately became highly tense.

Although Granger was smiling, Harden didn't feel the slightest kindness in it, and all he could think of was a grim reaper's smile.

Granger spun the ball. With a whistling sound, he suddenly stepped forward with his left foot and accelerated to break through from Harden's left side, his strong body was like a cheetah assault, and there was a murderous roar.

Harden hurriedly stepped back, and as soon as he stepped back, Granger broke through faster. To avoid losing his position, Harden could only accelerate back. And he can't concentrate on retreating yet, because the other party may come to change direction. Fortunately, Granger began to slow down after fast-forward two steps and found that he didn't throw off his opponent, and Harden lit up a red light in his heart, which is often a prelude to the opponent's breakthrough.

But he guessed wrong, and Granger didn't break through, but - took another step. With three feet to go from the three-point line, he slammed into his feet and shot without hesitation.

After the basketball is thrown. Granger landed quickly, while the basketball was still gliding, but instead of watching the basketball go, he turned and stood proudly with his hands raised.

"Huh!"

One arrow through the heart!

The reporters at the scene were amazed and incredulous, and they pressed the shutter of their cameras one after another, leaving this scene in the film.

Granger wore a yellow No. 33 jersey and raised his hands expressionlessly. Standing on the court like that, not far behind him, Li Feng's face was full of surprise

It's another picture that goes down in history, Granger in this moment. The self-confident, elegant but full of bloody complex emotions is fully interpreted.

In front of the TV, the Pacers fans were all screaming.

Harden swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and he looked down at Granger's foothold, which was still far from the three-point line.

Li Feng chewed his braces and slowly ran off the court, and when he passed by Granger, he asked:

"Danny, you're going to have a heads-up with me?"

"Do you dare, last year's best defensive player?"

Granger asked defiantly.

Li Feng also had a smile on his face, a dangerous smile.

"George is not enough to see, or you are more powerful!"

Rose advanced to the frontcourt, and Granger and Hill switched defenses, the latter both beaten up in a sieve.

On the offensive end, Ross has never been afraid of anyone. There is a slight difference in height between him and Granger, and the other party is much stronger, and it looks very difficult to deal with.

But it only took two changes of direction and one and a half turns for Rose to shake off his opponent. One step rushed over and tore through the Pacers' lineup to the restricted area.

Hibbert involuntarily took a step outward, and at this moment, the fleeting fighter plane was captured by Ross. He made a ground-hitting pass and sent the ball to Li Feng under the basket.

Li Feng took a step sideways before receiving the ball, and when he got the ball, his feet landed on the ground, he didn't even change his center of gravity, the muscles on his legs were tense like war drums, and the whole person seemed to be a space shuttle with a booster, roaring and soaring into the air.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Li Feng's arm muscles also tensed, and then the stable basketball hoop began to shake 'bang', and the reporter under the basket looked up and even felt that Madison Square Garden had been earthquaked.

Granger didn't buy it, he even stepped forward and smiled at Li Feng:

"It's really a sharp break, is this dunk of yours your counterattack?"

Li Feng didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders.

Turning back to Granger singled Harden, this time Harden gritted his teeth and stared at his opponent, making it very uncomfortable for Granger to break through.

Just as George ran out, Li Feng followed, and Monroe and West were left under the basket, Granger was overjoyed and passed the ball to West:

West got the ball with his back to Monroe and swayed his body, his left foot as the pivot and his right foot kept looking for a landing spot.

"What is this guy doing?"

Monroe felt that West's behavior was abnormal, in fact, West was just confusing his opponent by doing this, after all, he was a ten-year-old ball ruffian, how could he be as stupid as a rookie?

So, when Monroe raised his center of gravity to prevent him from backing him, West stepped back hard, knocked out of the space and turned to layup.

In this way, Monroe cupped.

But immediately, West also cupped

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and the rising basketball was slammed into the rebound with a big slap.

Li Feng nailed the board with his right hand and blocked it, and fished the ball with his left hand.

Granger shook his head depressedly and said:

"Man, why are you delaying so much time?"

Granger stuck Rose as he spoke, but he didn't finish his sentence, and after landing on the ground, Li Feng took a deep breath, handed the ball to his right hand, and rushed forward like a whirlwind.

The Pacers' players know that the Knicks are good at playing counterattacks and fast breaks, so they are all stuck with their own people, so Li Feng is the first person to rush through the halfcourt.

'Bang bang bang', 'bang bang bang', 'bang bang bang', Li Feng slapped the basketball quickly.

The orange-red basketball is like a beating flame, indulging its wildness on the court.

Li Feng was like a vigorous cheetah in the rainforest, his eyes were sharply aimed at the ball frame, and he rushed forward frantically.

The enclosed gardens of Madison Square seemed to be windy, and it was a strong wind, for his jersey was hunting and flying, like the supposedly never-falling battle flag of the Roman Empire's Lightning Legion!

"Stop him!"

Vogel got up from the bench and waved his hand and roared, Granger's three-pointer had just boosted the morale of the Pacers, and it would be bad to let Li Feng dunk after blocking.

In the audience seats around the stadium, how many fans couldn't help but stand up, and the stadium was even a little quiet for a moment, and everyone was staring nervously at the small stadium, and they had a hunch. The boss is going to fight back.

Today, the Pacers players finally had the pleasure of seeing Li Feng's speed when he sprinted with all his might, like a galloping horse stepping into the arena, and Li Feng rushed directly into the front court with a whirlwind.

Granger ran wildly, and this time it was Rose's turn to stop him, but fortunately, this guy had an outstanding body, and he crashed away from his opponent and followed behind Li Feng.

However, despite Granger's hard work, it was too late, and when he caught up. Li Feng has already rushed to the free throw line.

Forget it, let this guy dunk, Granger thought stupidly: Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to block, but he can't stop it, Li Feng rushed up with all his might, and the only one who may not be knocked away is Dwight Howard, and neither can LeBron James. If Granger knew what was coming. He must have preferred to break his bones and tendons to foul Li Feng, but he didn't have this opportunity: "This is a performance time, what will Li Feng dedicate to us?" ”

Li Feng took two steps in a row in the free throw line, and each of these two steps made a snap, as if he had stepped on the stagnant water on the ground.

"Is it just an ordinary dunk?"

Fans who were expecting Li Feng's performance were a little disappointed. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
