Chapter 524: Waiting for you to take the bait

The Knicks scored just now, and now the Raptors are scoring right away, and both teams look like they're going to open up on offense.

The Knicks ran over again, and their tactics were almost the same as those of Fang Cai, all of which were to pull away from the top of the arc for Li Feng to break through, and then the baseline stood ready to block and run out to catch the ball.

Li Feng also broke through as usual at this time, and then passed the ball to Monroe, but the Raptors were not stupid at this time, after being beaten twice in a row, the rotation was much faster, and Monroe's side only took the ball to the opponent's defense.

So Monroe hurriedly wanted to stuff the basketball into the Raptors' interior line, but the basketball flew out of the box and was stealed by the Raptors.

After the Raptors made a steal, Calderon broke through Dragic all the way, attracted the defense and suddenly passed the ball to Kreza on the outside, Kreiza threw a three-point shot in a big vacancy, but Kreeza really didn't draw today, and the basketball shot was missed!

After the two teams scored consecutive points, they missed attacks one after another, but this time Li Feng had better luck.

Kreza's flying ball happened to Li Feng's hand, and after Li Feng took the ball, he flew towards the Raptors' half.

At this time, Li Feng's advantage over DeRozan came, DeRozan was very versatile in the half-court offense, but the speed was not very sufficient in the full-court offense.

Li Feng rushed up, he caught up with Li Feng from behind, Li Feng broke through quickly, disrupted the opponent's defense at once, and then threw the basketball towards Dragic, who was following behind.

Dragic came up and asked for a small mid-range shot!

In terms of offensive and defensive conversion, Li Feng's efficiency is better than that of the opponent! Calderon's destructive power is not as good as Li Feng, DeRozan's speed is not as good as Li Feng, although the Raptors are known to play fast offense, but the absolute speed is not necessarily stronger than the Knicks.

At this time, the two teams gradually entered the offensive battle and entered the rhythm that the Raptors liked. At this time, they were also excited.

Kreiza quickly dribbled the ball to the opponent's half, and then immediately passed the ball to Amir Johnson who ran over, Amir Johnson took the ball, Calderon ran in front of Amir Johnson, and broke through along the realization with the ball in his hand, Calderon made a breakthrough, and the Knicks immediately wrapped it up, Calderon immediately passed the ball to Kreeza on the outside, but Kreeza shot three points again, but this guy missed the three points again.

Crezza wasted two big empty spots in a row. At this time, most Knicks fans were relieved.

Kreza didn't twitch, and the Raptors' offensive firepower was reduced by one-third today, and Michelle saw that Kreiza really didn't give face, so he immediately waved his hand to let Kresza stand up, and Kresza could barely play the No. 2 position. At this time, since Kreza can't even grasp the open shot, he can only let Kreiza return to his rightful position.

And on the court, Kresza missed the shot again. The basketball fell to Belineri.

Belineri turned back and passed the ball to Dragic. Dragic took the ball at this time and saw that all the attention of the Raptors was on Li Feng, he took the ball and flew towards the Raptors' halfcourt, Calderon noticed Dragic, Dragic had already given Calderon to Calderon.

Kreiza went up to defend Dragic desperately, and Dragic turned his head and passed the basketball to Li Feng, who was protecting him.

Li Feng took the ball and easily wiped the board on the side, and the Knicks grabbed the Raptors two offensive and defensive transitions in a row.

Beat the Knicks is not weaker than the Raptors. is even more lethal than the Raptors, and the point difference is slightly widened.

74-70 The Knicks led by 4 points, and at this time the Raptors came over and began to play a little easier.

Calderon came over and immediately took advantage of DeRozan's cover and circled outside. Then he shot straight back for a three-pointer.

The Raptors played a little more complicated before, and as a result, they missed two three-pointers in a row, but now they play a simple one-point shot.

And Calderon scored 11 points in a row, and in less than 3 minutes and less than 4 minutes, Calderon broke out and scored 11 points, which is already very, very terrifying.

Now the Knicks don't need to block DeRozan but Calderon, and Calderon is also excited to high-five his teammates after scoring.

The Knicks played a series of fast breaks before, and finally opened up 4 points, and at this time, the Raptors almost caught up with the difference with a 3-pointer.

The Knicks chased back like a frenzy at this time, and Li Feng passed to Belineri in the bottom corner, and Belineri missed the shot when he threw three points in the open position.

The Knicks wasted such an opportunity, and when they came back, the Raptors also played fast, and Kreiza came to try his luck and threw a three-pointer and missed.

The two teams each wasted a chance, the Knicks came to attack again, Li Feng broke through and passed to Monroe outside, and Monroe missed the shot, so the Knicks wasted two chances in a row.

According to the law, the Knicks are going to suffer, and sure enough, once the Knicks miss this time, Amir Johnson grabbed the rebound, and he actually controlled the ball and chased it towards the Knicks' half.

Amir Johnson is such a big guy, he comes to control the ball and push the fast break, and the Knicks are a little dumbfounded when they look at it! When the Knicks were dumbfounded, Amir Johnson broke through and came to a reverse layup, Amir Johnson also scored 2 points, and the Raptors overtook the score.

The Raptors are 1 point ahead of the Knicks, 75-74.The Knicks and the Raptors began to see-saw repeatedly, and the pressure on the Knicks at this time is not small.

The Raptors have a strong offensive ability, if you want to win the Raptors, Payton said before that it is not about offense, it doesn't matter how many points you score on the Raptors, if you want to win the Raptors, you must mainly work on defense.

At this time, seeing the Raptors' two waves of offense, the Knicks didn't defend well! Tyberdu was a little anxious, and he yelled at the players on the sidelines:

"Pay attention to defense, work defense!"

Tyberdu yelled like this, Li Feng immediately nodded while listening on the court, and the Knicks took the ball in the backcourt at this time, and quickly approached the opponent's flank, Li Feng approached so close and attracted the opponent's attention.

At this time, the Raptors' defense shrank a little more and leaked Monroe out of the high post.

Revealing Monroe, Li Feng passed the ball to Monroe's hand, and Monroe took the ball and dribbled to the side at this time. A step back and then a shot, Monroe's technical ability is indeed enough, in this case, there is no way to shoot the Raptors, seeing that Monroe's side has hit.

The Raptors turned around and came back to attack, when Calderon and DeRozan were covering, the Knicks' defense suddenly pounced, and first went to pounce on Calderon When the block was formed, the Knicks and the two of them isolated Calderon together, but in an instant, they turned back, and the Knicks suddenly made a heavy move on the defensive end.

In the midst of this high-intensity fast defense. Veteran defenders like Calderon also made mistakes, rushing the ball out of the way, and Kreza pulled out his hand without hesitation, and the result was another chance to attack.

The Knicks grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and Li Feng took the ball and quickly pushed it over. Broke directly to the flank, and hit DeRozan with his back.

DeRozan was much calmer in the second half, and he did his best to defend Li Feng at this time. Li Feng took two steps to take the ball frame. turned around and shook DeRozan with a feint, and DeRozan didn't jump.

Just when Li Feng was about to force a jump, Dragic sneakily rushed into the restricted area, Li Feng hurriedly passed the basketball to Dragic's hand, and Dragic made a reverse layup to score two points.

The Raptors just got up, and the Knicks pressed the Raptors again. At this time, the Raptors came over, and DeRozan couldn't help it.

In the third quarter, he played carefully for 4 minutes, which is close to his limit, and DeRozan must be exposed at this time. Outside the three-point line, DeRozan took the ball a little laterally, pulled it up and threw a three-pointer.

Li Feng really couldn't completely prevent DeRozan before, but Li Feng could put a certain amount of pressure on DeRozan, and when the opponent made a move, Li Feng leaned forward and reached out to make DeRozan's movements uncomfortable.

As a result, DeRozan missed a three-point shot.

The Raptors were forced by the Knicks' defense for two consecutive rounds and missed the offense! That's a big plus for the Knicks.

This shows that the team's defense has been effective, Li Feng rushed over to grab the rebound and rushed over, or first played a role in destroying the opponent's defense, rushed over with the ball and suddenly passed the ball to Belineri on the wing.

Belineri shook off the defense with the ball and shot a mid-range shot from the previous step! As a result, in the repeated tug-of-war between the two teams, the Knicks had the advantage again, and the Knicks led the Raptors by 5 points at 80-75.

At this time, the two teams were pulling back and forth, and Yu Jia also said:

"Both the Knicks and the Raptors have very strong offensive capabilities! Whoever breaks out on both teams can kill each other in one wave, so this game is not only bigger than fists, but also thick armor! From the current point of view, it is still the Knicks' armor thick, and once they want to control the Raptors, they can control it, which the Raptors have never done since the beginning! ”

After Li Feng scored in Belineri, he immediately shouted:

"Defend! Be sure to hold on, defend! ”

Li Feng encouraged everyone to defend, and at the same time actively defended DeRozan, and from time to time to help defend others, Li Feng moved back and forth, and the defense of the whole team was warmed up, and the Knicks' defensive intensity once it came up.

The Raptors want to open up the situation, relying on individual offense, and now DeRozan and Li Feng are restraining each other, so DeRozan's scoring efficiency is not high, Calderon can only come out by himself and show up, take the ball to beat Dragic.

Calderon's attacking skills were solid, but when he played Dragic, Doorman Roma went out to help defend a little, so Calderon was depressed.

Because Ed Davis had an open space but it was useless, Ed Davis did not shoot from a distance, nor did he have the ability to attack with the ball, he could only turn around to the other side and force a shot, but he missed, and Monroe rushed over to hold the rebound.

After holding the rebound, the Knicks pushed forward very quickly, the Knicks advanced quickly, and the formation expanded quickly.

They just pushed in, Li Feng immediately went over to take the ball and attack with his back to compress the Raptors' defense, the Raptors' defense changed slightly, Li Feng's long eyes in the back of his head passed to the weak side in a wide range, and the weak side of Belineri made another feint, and the naturally unreliable Kresza flew again, so that Belineri unceremoniously came to a three-point shot.

"Brush!"

The Knicks' three-pointer hit again, and the Knicks gave the Raptors an eight-point lead.

At this time, the Raptors fell behind, mainly because the Knicks' defense worked and came up for several rounds in a row. The Knicks either defended the opponent or let the opponent attack in an uncomfortable way, and on the Raptors' side, although DeRozan made Li Feng unable to score, DeRozan couldn't make Li Feng unable to pass, and every ball passed by Li Feng was very deadly.

Li Feng has also brushed up 4 assists in such a period of time, this is the terrible thing about Li Feng, even if he doesn't score, he can let his teammates score, and DeRozan is not as good as Li Feng at this point.

The Raptors broke his leg on the defensive end, and he was missing one of his two legs. At this time, they need to work extra offense.

Calderon came over at this time and wanted to use his excellent touch to throw three points, but at this time, the Knicks definitely couldn't let him shoot like this.

Dragic was also very smart, and went up and stuck Calderon's body, and at the same time tripped Calderon with his feet. Calderón's flexibility is not very good, and he is more prone to injury in the next set. Dragic stopped him. Calderón couldn't find a chance here, so he immediately threw the basketball to Kreza and asked Kreza to come out and relieve the tension.

But Kreza is a player who can really help the team when he is in good shape, and he is quite hateful when he is not in good shape.

Just now, he missed two three-pointers in a row, and at this time he took the ball and began to forcibly break through the Knicks' basket, but the Knicks' basket is like a forest. He rushed up and was directly blocked, and he barely missed the shot.

As far as Kreza's shooting option is concerned, even Michelle, who advocates freedom, can only grin on the side.

Kreza's side missed the shot, and the Knicks backcourt rebound was guaranteed. After winning the rebound in the backcourt, Dragic also went berserk.

frantically raided the opponent's basket, but Dragic drove up the speed, but he was not able to force a layup and missed, thanks to Li Feng who followed him at any time, flew up and grabbed the rebound in the front court.

Li Feng, who grabbed the rebound ball in the front court, saw that his teammates were a little impatient, and immediately took the ball with one hand and yelled at his teammates:

"Don't worry! Don't rush! ”

Li Feng yelled at his teammates not to worry, he himself was not in a hurry, took the ball over and threatened DeRozan with three threats, tentatively one step, two steps, three steps, Li Feng made three feints before leaning back and throwing a middle distance.

Li Feng finally made a move, DeRozan was a little impatient by Li Feng at this time, and he shot slowly when defending, but Li Feng's shot was easily smashed into the opponent's basket!

Li Feng scored two more points, and this time the Raptors were a little in trouble, and the Knicks were 10 points ahead of the Raptors in one breath.

85-75, the Knicks lead the Raptors by double digits, even if the Raptors are very offensive and score strongly, but 10 points, they need to play a few rounds.

Michelle's side saw that the situation was a little wrong, his team had not scored for several rounds, the Knicks could hold if they wanted to defend, and their team could only play alone if they wanted to attack, which was definitely not a good sign, according to this trend, his team could only play more and more monotonous, but the Knicks could play slowly, and Michelle immediately called a timeout!

Michelle called a timeout, and Reggie Miller was quite surprised, and he teased Michelle on the sidelines:

"Now that the Raptors are only 10 points behind, they called a timeout, and I thought that in the eyes of the Raptors, a point difference within 20 points is not a point difference!"

"How many 20 points can you score in a game?"

Peyton corrected Reggie Miller's three views at this time before he said:

"Michelle's timeout, it seems to me that it is still too late! Now the team is 10 points behind, 10 points! That's a big difference, and a team can score a few 10 points in one night. ”

Payton was in this tone again, and Reggie Miller shook his head helplessly on the side, but Payton continued to say:

In a few rounds, although the Knicks offense is very exciting, Li Feng can go to the card position first every time, but the Knicks are more exciting in defense, in the few rounds of Fangcai, the Knicks dominated Calderon to defend DeRozan, forced the opponent Kreiza to shoot, and they were all stuck in the neck of the Raptors! Although the Raptors' current lineup scoring ability is very strong, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, there are no players who can take the initiative to attack inside, Ed Davis's offense is miserable, Amir Johnson's ball-handling offensive hand is average, so the Raptors' offensive means are monotonous, as long as the Knicks let go of the Raptors' outside line, the Raptors have no way! Now Michelle has to make his interior appear a little offensive, otherwise he won't be able to open the Knicks' defense! ”

Payton is the key to biting the game all at once, why do the Knicks dare to pounce out now, that is, they see that the offensive ability of the opponent's two big men is not good, and the Raptors dare not pounce on the Knicks for nothing, because the Knicks can play low posts with two big men, this is the gap.

Michelle did as Payton said, and when he called a timeout, he asked Ed Davis and Amir Johnson to wait for an opportunity to attack, and frequently went up to respond to the team's interior and perimeter.

But he didn't know that at this time, the Knicks already had a set of alternatives, waiting for Michelle!

The Raptors came back from a pause, and the tactical offense was also simple and clear, DeRozan held the ball on the wing, Amir Johnson and Ed Davis crossed cover, Amir Johnson was empty-handed towards the Peacock under the basket, DeRozan looked at Amir Johnson! He made an accurate pass to Amir Johnson, who took the ball and scored comfortably for a layup.

The Raptors have finally scored! But Tyberdu looked at it from the sidelines:

"Ahh The Raptors have finally played this routine, and it's time for me to make a move! ”

So Tyberdu immediately went to the sidelines at this time to shout, gesturing to the players and asking the team to implement new defensive tactics. (To be continued......)
