Split got the basketball, immediately steadied his rhythm, passed the ball to Parker, and the Spurs pressed towards the Knicks' half in an extremely slow pace.

Duncan is also in the Spurs' formation, running back and forth, Duncan was continuously deflated just now, Duncan also seriously reflected, Li Feng is very hard in hardness, he is not cheaper than tough, Li Feng's footsteps are also very flexible, and he is not cheaper than flexible.

Isn't that a chance you don't have? No, Duncan believes that he still has a skill that Li Feng absolutely does not have, that is, he has height.

He can use his height to beat Li Feng, and when he thinks about it, Duncan's route is much more flexible this time.

The back and forth was not short on the inside and outside, Duncan suddenly gave up eating the low position, and Li Feng was a little unsure of what Duncan was going to do.

Just when Li Feng hesitated here, Duncan suddenly ran to a 45-degree position, received a basketball for a little bit, and when Li Feng pounced, Duncan got up and threw a long shot.

He was originally taller than Li Feng, where he was stuck in the sideways, Li Feng couldn't reach it, and Li Feng had no way to throw such a long-range shot.

Over the past few rounds, the Spurs have taken a bit of a breather and found some ways to deal with the Knicks. After all, the strength of the Spurs is still above the Knicks, and suddenly the running and bombing on the Knicks' side is not so smooth.

Cousins also understands the situation, and the moment he gets the basketball from the baseline, he knows that he is the key to the game.

If you pass well, the Knicks will be able to attack smoothly, and if you don't pass well, there will be a series of troubles after that.

So Cousins almost the first moment he received the basketball from the baseline, he threw the basketball to Li Feng's side with a long pass.

Li Feng received the basketball, how did he not understand, the key now is in speed. So the first moment he received the ball, Li Feng hit the front hard. knocked Duncan away at once, and then Li Feng stumbled towards the basket, and at this time, the Spurs' basket was only Leonard who came back to defend alone, Parker interfered in front, and Split was too slow to keep up.

Facing Leonard in front of him, Li Feng stumbled and barely made a one-handed change of direction with his left hand, attracting Leonard's attention.

Then there was a big turn, and the whole person turned in the opposite direction, and at the same time used his back to lean on Leonard.

Li Feng was also confused, he forgot that Leonard had no strength to borrow. So Li Feng leaned over and twisted Leonard away at once, and he didn't borrow strength, but fell out sideways.

Li Feng suddenly fell down by himself, but fortunately Li Feng still remembered to shoot and threw the basketball to the basket.

But Li Feng threw the ball in such a state, naturally the hit rate was extremely low, and the basketball smashed under the hoop all of a sudden.

Then he was stunned and smashed down at Li Feng again, Li Feng is now lying on the ground! The basketball came down. Li Feng actually lay on the ground and grabbed a rebound.

Li Feng took the ball on the ground, and the Spurs naturally wanted to snatch it, and a bunch of people rushed up towards Li Feng, and Li Feng saw that things were not good on the ground. Immediately threw the basketball into the hands of J.R. Smith, who was in the empty spot.

Now that J.R. Smith is open and standing outside the three-point line, J.R. Smith has a lot of control over this kind of ball.

Catch the ball and make a three-point shot. Simply hit.

The Spurs came over again, and Duncan did it again, but this time he was unlucky. Li Feng didn't interfere with him. He missed his own shot, and Li Feng turned his head to grab the rebound.

Then immediately a long pass reached the hands of J.R. Smith, and Li Feng was running behind.

Li Feng ran to the Spurs' half court very excitedly, and he didn't see his teammates passing the ball to him.

The basketball smashed into Li Feng's arm all of a sudden, which scared Li Feng, and even Duncan, who was defending Li Feng, was also stunned.

But before he could react, Li Feng was faster than him, and he scooped up the basketball as soon as he stretched out his hand. When Li Feng looked up to observe, he saw Duncan taking half a step back, this guy also wanted to let go of a step to defend Li Feng, and then blocked Li Feng's breakthrough route to achieve his goal.

Li Feng was a little excited at this time, he didn't worry too much, he almost reacted instinctively, and actually threw a three-point shot.

Li Feng's three-point shot was not smooth, and his posture under his feet was even a little deformed, but the basketball route was actually very straight, and it fell into the Spurs' basket at once.

Li Feng actually hit this three-point shot, and suddenly Duncan's face turned a little darker. This Li Feng is simply his nemesis! Running around with himself, getting in the way of himself like a stone under the basket, breaking through himself, and now he finally found a way to deal with him, and he came to shoot three points again.

Duncan's head is big all of a sudden, if Li Feng plays like this, Duncan really can't afford to play.

From the beginning of the Knicks' run-and-run bombardment, the two teams have changed from the original Spurs pressing the Knicks to a pair of hits.

The Spurs rely more on the twin stars of Parker and Duncan, and the Knicks rely more on Li Feng's play. The strength and weakness of the two teams have become balanced, the game has become more colorful, and the viewing has greatly increased.

At this time, Jeff Van Gundy had to admit the tactical change of Tyberdeau, and he said in the commentary seat:

"This tactical change of the Knicks' run-and-run bomb is really successful, and it actually pulled the Knicks, who were originally in a weak position, to the current situation. Now the outcome of the two teams is unpredictable, whether the Knicks can win or not, the Spurs have said that it doesn't matter, if the Knicks can continue the offense, the Spurs are in danger. Conversely, if the Knicks have a hole, the Spurs' chance has come. ”

Turning the weakness of the weak team into an advantage, Tyber Dutong Guò has also been a little more thorough in the playoffs in recent years. The strength of a team depends largely on a manager's ability to tap into the team's potential. Strength is not absolute! Realizing this, Tyberdu took another step forward in his coaching career.

The Spurs played two Duncan tactics in a row, and this time, they finally made a change. Playing a Ginobili empty-handed running tactic, through guò successive blocks, a baseline cover, and a 45-degree cover, Ginobili finally got a three-point opportunity.

He was outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer. Ginobili's shot was a bit weird, but it was very fast.

As soon as the basketball came out, Li Feng's eyes were fixed on the basketball, and then he ran madly towards the inside line.

Li Feng is really desperate, and God treats Li Feng well, and at the same time treats Ginobili coldly. He missed the rebound, smashed it all at once, and jumped out.

The position where the ball flew out was originally close to Duncan, and Duncan also thought that he was nine out of ten. When he jumped up and opened his hands and was about to catch the ball, he was caught off guard, and Li Feng rushed sideways in the air like a missile.

grabbed the basketball in front of Duncan with both hands in the air, and Li Feng grabbed the rebound all by desperate efforts and a fierce energy.

Duncan originally thought that Li Feng would snatch the rebounds nine out of ten, and Duncan was a little angry.

Duncan looked at Li Feng now, it was like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but Li Feng didn't feel it at all. Li Feng got the rebound and turned around and ran towards the Spurs' halfcourt, when Li Feng went crazy here.

Duncan really couldn't stand it, and he was so unhappy that he was in the process of running with Li Feng. Suddenly, his body tilted, and he suddenly pushed it onto Li Feng's body.

Li Feng was completely in a state of excitement, and never thought that he would be pushed from behind. So Li Feng is a dog to chew. He fell to the floor.

Duncan suddenly lost control of his feelings, became angry, and pushed Li Feng down.

The Knicks, who had just played a game with the Wizards, were immediately unhappy. rushed over and yelled at Duncan.

Seeing that the gaffe was about to be strict, the referee hurriedly gave Duncan a foul and separated the players from both sides at the same time.

Duncan was also under too much pressure today to lose his abnormality for the first time, that is, he also regretted it after he pushed Li Feng out of control, and was scolded by the Knicks, he didn't squeak, and bowed his head and walked to the other side of the court.

Li Feng, who was already straight, was pushed to the ground for a long time, only to find out that he had angered the 10,000-year-old puppet Duncan, and the sun really came out of the south.

The altercation broke out on the pitch, and Popovich finally realized his mistake.

I have always emphasized maintaining the original rhythm and style of play, and I have not changed the structure of the inside staff. But his stubbornness has put Duncan under too much pressure, and it is indeed difficult for a strong man to let such a big man follow a small forward. Duncan is running with the opponent like this, and his efficiency will inevitably be greatly reduced at both offensive and defensive ends, and after a long time, I am afraid that Duncan's body will be the first to run out.

Now Duncan is under too much pressure to make such a move that is not in line with his character, and it is his own mistake. Players are also human beings, and their own coaching is not humane enough, which is why Duncan bears this burden.

Thinking of this, Popovich immediately took advantage of the dead ball and replaced Duncan with small forward Danny Green. As a result, the Spurs also changed to a small lineup.

Now it's small for small, but Popovich didn't make tactical adjustments after the substitution. It's about letting the whole team continue with the original tactics, which is typical of Popovich's coaching style, and he just wants to adapt to everything with the same.

The Spurs made substitutions, Li Feng was at the free throw line, hit one of two free throws, and his personal score jumped to 12 points.

scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, and Li Feng was also meritorious. And as soon as Duncan of the Spurs went, Li Feng's activity space in the low post suddenly increased greatly.

However, it was also because Duncan went, the space was completely opened, and Tony Parker and Leonard also frequently got scoring opportunities.

The two teams went back and forth, and after 3 more rounds, the first quarter was over, and the difference between the two teams was still not separated at the end of the first quarter.

From 28 to 24, the Knicks were still four points behind, and Li Feng had 12 points and 6 rebounds.

Jeff Van Gundy made an in-depth comment on the topic of Li Feng in the commentary seat:

"The first quarter of today's game was exciting. Seldom is the first quarter of a game so exciting, and the first quarter has often been a tentative offense. But today's first quarter was a big gamble. ”

"The Knicks actually came up with the idea of using a run-and-gun against the Spurs, which is really bold and I have to say successful. Just look at the game, it's clear that the Knicks can clearly implement this run-and-gun tactic, and I think I have to mention Li Feng. ”

"Li Feng's playing power forward does bring more mobility, more toughness, and a much-needed low-post ability to the Knicks. Today, Li Feng played an important role in the Knicks' run-and-gun tactics. It was Li Feng's toughness that prevented Duncan from making reckless moves. It was Li Feng's running and offense that made the Knicks' running and bombing reflect the advantage of the misplaced offense. After watching Li Feng's game today, I still want to say an old saying, this young man gives me the feeling that the sky is his limit. ”

Jeff Van Gundy, as a veteran of the basketball world, said these few words. It's good, very good review too.

Jeff Van Gundy was also praising Li Feng, but Duncan, who was sitting on the bench drinking a drink, finally calmed down, and then looked back at the process of watching the game objectively. Duncan understood that he had been reckless in the game just now, and his failure did not mean anything, because he and Li Feng were basically two positions. Let yourself defend him. It's normal to be unsuccessful.

Duncan's personality is like this, he gradually calms down, but Tony Parker is a little eager to try. It's not jealousy, it's not anger, it's an athlete's mindset as a proud player, who instinctively wants to compete with his opponent when he encounters a strong opponent.

The game started, but neither Li Feng, nor Duncan nor Parker returned to the court.

The second section begins. The Knicks and Spurs started to fight for bench players, and it turned out to be such a mess.

Mills was on the court, combing the Spurs' offense in the slightest, and it didn't look like a group of substitutes playing at all. The whole team is still in good order.

And the Spurs not only have Mills, but also veterans Bonner, Blair and a bunch of players with potential and characteristics.

The bench on the Knicks' side couldn't stop the opponent at all, but was made a series of mistakes by the Spurs' defense. The Knicks' main force is desperately close to the score!

Wasted by the Knicks' bench, there were no three minutes. The difference widened to 13 points.

With a score difference of 13 points, Tyberdu's careful liver is a little unbearable. His first thought was to stand up and replace Li Feng first!

When Li Feng stood up, he was also a little stunned, he played full in the first quarter, and now in the third minute of the second quarter, Tyberdu will replace himself again.

Li Feng took off his coat before walking onto the court, and Tyberdu grabbed Li Feng again and said:

"Li Feng, remember that we trust each other."

、

Li Feng returned to the court, not playing the No. 4 position in the first quarter, but his own small forward.

Monroe didn't play much in the first quarter, and now he is coming off the bench to play power forward, and Vucevic is coming off the bench for the big center position.

The Knicks' two backup guards below are Belinelli and Parsons, and the Knicks lineup is indeed more than a notch lower than the Spurs' bench lineup. Now that Li Feng comes out, the team is obviously running with Li Feng as the core.

Vucevic kicked off the sideline, and as soon as the ball came out, it was thrown into Li Feng's hands, Li Feng took the ball, and with a slight step, Danny Green immediately became nervous, and Li Feng's ferocity in the last quarter was deeply imprinted in his heart.

So he was extremely nervous and cautious, and opened his arms and put on a posture waiting for Li Feng to attack.

Li Feng took a step forward, started quickly, and bumped into Danny Green, and the force of Li Feng's collision was not something that Danny Green could stop.

So Li Feng seemed to be a grinding plate, knocked Danny Green away, and then the whole person turned around and smashed into the inside line of the Spurs.

Li Feng's unreasonable and brutal rush in, and when the Spurs' interior line hurriedly defended Li Feng, it was too late.

Li Feng got up with a two-handed buckle, and he didn't care about Bonner who pounced on the side, he pounced on the side, but he couldn't stop Li Feng at all, so that Li Feng smashed down with a violent buckle on his head.

"Bang dang!"

There was a crisp thud that shook the ATT arena.

Li Feng actually broke through in the middle and then won the dunk in the first round of his debut. This shows that Tyberdu's tactical changes have paid off.

Li Feng was so ferocious that Popovich raised his ass slightly, and he couldn't sit still.

Li Feng joined the bench lineup, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.

When Li Feng is defending, it is like a gate for the Knicks, defending his opposing players and interfering with the operation of the interior line. The Spurs were a little uncomfortable and missed the attack.

The Spurs missed the offense, and the Knicks came back to play Li Feng, this time Li Feng faced Danny Green in the low post, which is Li Feng's best scoring method. So Li Feng easily scored two more points under the basket.

The Knicks scored points in a row to save the Knicks' decline, but the Spurs were not angry. Mills got an open spot outside the three-point line and he didn't hit the ball himself. It gave the Knicks another chance to launch a fast break.

The Knicks turned their heads back, and Bellenelli's main attack Parsons also made a layup.

As a result, the Knicks scored 6 points in a row, and the gap between the two teams has narrowed to about 5 points.

With that, Popovich looked at his bench and knew he had to put a main player on the pitch.

With that in mind, Popovich called a timeout and then began to wonder whether it would be better to put Parker on the court or Duncan on the court.

Parker played a good role in the first quarter, and completely played the role of the team's anchor, both in terms of scoring and organization.

Duncan's appearance today is a little abnormal, but this is partly because the Knicks' tactics today are not against him, and the other part is because of the instability of his own adjustment tactics.

In the previous section, if you use a joint defense, or use a partial joint defense to defend, it may go to a better effect. (To be continued......)
