At the end of the 2010-2011 NBA regular season, the New York Knicks currently have a 61-20 record and the Los Angeles Lakers are tied for the first place in the league, while the Knicks' last opponent in the regular season this season is the Boston Celtics.

The two teams had a fierce competition in the playoffs last season, even if this game is the last game, no one will save for the playoffs, not to mention, the Knicks want to strive for the first place in the league, for Li Feng's regular season MVP, the Los Angeles Lakers' last opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, the Lakers are not able to win if they want to, and now, the only thing the Knicks have to do is to win the game.

Before entering the North Shore Garden Arena, Li Feng also paid a lot of attention to this match.

Not only because of what the outside world says, but also because he knows that this season's Celtics are heading straight for the championship, and the veterans on this team, led by Garnett, will also usher in the glory of their careers this season.

"We won last month's game against the Celtics, and if we can win on the road today, or at least have a stalemate with them, maybe we can have a better chance in the playoffs!"

Li Feng has a hard time suppressing this thought, the Knicks do have the strength to compete with the Spurs and Celtics, and now they lack playoff experience compared to their opponents.

In the visiting locker room at the North Shore Garden Arena before the game, the Knicks players were doing their own thing.

There are people who watch TV shows. Some listened to music, and some closed their eyes to recuperate, but they all looked relaxed, except for Li Feng and Lori, who were much more serious.

"Glory days!"

Li Feng relaxed his spirit, fell softly on the sofa and began to close his eyes before the game, and I didn't know that he remembered the title of a classic old song,

"Hey. Now that I've got my spoiler, whether the Celtics or the Lakers want to win a championship, they need to scoop up the right amount of strength, and this is my second season. Magic Johnson can win a championship in his rookie season, and even though he has Abdul-Jabbar by his side, can't I in my second season? ”

……

"I've been amazed with the Knicks' performance this season. In particular, Li Feng's performance also makes people aware of the rapid rise of another super forward, in the future league, Li Feng and LeBron will become evenly matched opponents, and I think that in a few years, these two young people will surpass the one in Los Angeles! ”

In an interview with the media before the game, Garnett once again used Li Feng to praise James, he took care of the little emperor enough, and mocked Kobe Bryant again by the way.

"We'll teach them a lesson tonight!"

Garnett's words were filled with a powerful confidence.

"A little. Kevin was right, we won't let last month's failures get a repeat! ”

Paul Pierce also admires Li Feng in his heart, but more often than not, he is dissatisfied and has higher requirements for himself.

"So far this season, I have been very surprised by Li Feng's performance. He shines like a shooting star, and the speed of his progress makes everyone feel so amazed! But I'm going to give it my all tonight to have a good fight with him, and the final victory will definitely belong to our Celtics! ”

There is one more sentence that Pierce did not utter - everyone should not forget that there is still him Pierce!

Although the de facto core of the Celtics has become Kevin Garnett, Pierce is not at odds with Garnett, but when it comes to competing with other players. Mr. Truth does not show weakness. …,

"Feng, congratulations on your wonderful performances so far this season, but I won't let you succeed tonight!"

When Li Feng just walked out of the players' tunnel and was about to warm up after the last round, Pierce walked over and said with a disapprehensive face.

"Huh?"

Li Feng raised his eyebrows lightly, and after hugging Pierce, he said with the same straight color:

"Paul, I'm sure you have that quality, but it's not going to be easy for you to win, and hopefully tonight will be a good game!"

Li Feng had already estimated before the game that this game would not be so easy, and he also wanted to verify the gap between the team and the "championship", and it would be better to be able to compete with the Celtics who are going all out.

"As you wish, Feng!"

Pierce's expression became more serious, and he nodded calmly, he and Li Feng have long been good friends, but there is no affection to talk about on the playing field, the more good friends are, the more they need to show the strength to make the other party respect, Pierce knows this very well in his heart.

"It seems that this game is already doomed from the beginning, and it will not end peacefully!"

Everyone had the idea, but they were also more excited about the upcoming game, and no fan would refuse such a sparkling game, although the respective fans wanted their team to win the best possible victory, but the more intense and exciting process was expected by everyone.

Looking at the two top strikers greeting each other in the middle of the stadium, the TV camera captured the strong sense of competition on the faces and eyes of the two men, whether it was experts and journalists, as well as their respective teammates and fans, they were all full of interest in the upcoming confrontation between the two men, and even more interested in what they were saying at the moment.

Li Feng stood near the middle circle of his own half, looked at Pierce who turned to leave, his eyes were also bursting with passion like fire, with a slight smile on his face, his eyes calmed down, and he turned around and quietly started the warm-up after the worst round, and he didn't give any explanation in the face of the curious eyes of his teammates.

"Can Pierce stop Li Feng tonight?"

Li Feng's perverted performance of 30+10+10 per game this year makes Celtics fans not have much confidence, unless Garnett can completely suppress the Knicks Twin Towers on the inside and isolate Li Feng. Maybe Pierce can make Li Feng less powerful, but Cousins and Monroe, who are also in good form at the moment, are so easy to block? They haven't forgotten that Garnett is now a true veteran.

"Hmph, now Li Feng and Cousins Monroe are in the best condition, who can stop them, maybe there is still this possibility for the Spurs and Lakers, with the old arms and legs of the Celtics now, there is little hope!"

Some neutral fans who were interested in the team's game had a lot of their voices heard.

……

"Lads. I'm sure you're all ready to play, and I'll stress it again at the end, defensive. Be sure to defend well! ”

Tyberdu is not too afraid of the opponents in front of him, the Celtics, and he does not feel that his team is weaker than his opponents in terms of strength, and even stronger than his opponents in defense. It's just that in the face of the combined impact of Pierce and Garnett, it is unknown whether he can always maintain the resilience and continuity of the defense, and there is also a neglected gentleman sword Ray Allen, and he can only remind everyone to pay more attention.

"Greg, you're going to have a lot of defense in this game, especially to protect the backcourt rebounds, it's important for us to win!"

"DeMarcus, defend and pinch Garnett as it sees, but don't forget your offensive mission, whether your opponent is Perkins or Davis, and make the most of your offensive strengths!" …,

"James. Kerry, you pay attention to the outside to find open space, and don't hesitate when there is an opportunity, or rush to the basket, as for what to do. You guys are flexible on the field! ”

"Forward, take good care of Pierce, you can put him on the perimeter jumper appropriately, but you must limit his passing or bursting points on the outside as much as possible!"

Tyberdu explained again and again, and he is more and more important to the current Knicks and Celtics matchups, which can further test the team's offensive and defensive standards. At the same time, it can also make the team recognize their own position, which can also have a bottom line for the team's next playoff journey.

Li Feng and the others nodded one after another. They also agree with Tyberdeau's point of view, agreeing that the current Celtics team seems to be very strong, but in fact, it is not without weaknesses - that is, their defense, even if the Celtics are mainly defensive, the strongest defense will become their vulnerability, after all, the Greeks are old.

Li Feng knows more about this, and he already knows the game.

Garnett, the center of the Celtics, has declined significantly this season, and once his offensive power under the basket is limited, the entire team will be greatly affected; And if Pierce, the peripheral axis of the team, lacks Garnett's support, the pressure will inevitably increase just by relying on strong attacks or breaking through the ball, and this style of play will not last the whole game, and Ray Allen will not have a good chance to shoot when the other two are trapped, once the Big Three are blocked, the Greeks can be said to be defeated.

The Celtics' performance is also very important to the performance of the Celtics is the group of old fritters in their team, it is difficult to keep up with the pace of young people such as Li Feng and Harden when defending, and only by fully excavating the offensive power can they make an objective contribution to the team, which is also an important factor that leads Rivers to emphasize attack, and it is also the most suitable style of play for this team at present.

"Paul, no matter if you can scoop up the championship in the playoffs, I will definitely try to beat you in this game, and what Magic Johnson can do, I can also do, it depends on how you deal with us?"

Li Feng is no longer sure that this year's playoffs are the Celtics and Mavericks entering the finals, and the current entire league has been disturbed by him and the Knicks.

……

Force!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, Cousins, who was in charge of the scrum, dialed the basketball over, Lori dribbled and trotted to the right wing of the frontcourt, and the basketball was passed to Li Feng, who ran out.

Getting the basketball, Li Feng first controlled the rhythm, he didn't want to show himself in the first few minutes, and used Monroe to entangle with Garnett for a while.

The Knicks' starting lineup hasn't changed much — Li Feng and Harden partner at guard, Lowry sits firmly at point guard, and Cousins and Monroe team up to guard the interior.

And the Celtics were also last year's champion, center Perkins. Power forward Garnett, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Ray Allen, point guard Rondo.

In the brightly lit North Shore Garden Arena, the TV camera captured every move on the court in close view, and the commentator also duly reported the starting five tigers of the two teams tonight, and saw the Celtics' lineup tonight. Many people have a hunch that the Celtics are likely to step up their defense tonight.

The game finally began, and the Knicks' offense did not surprise the home team at all, and Li Feng, who advanced to the front court with the ball, made a trademark block and pick and roll with Monroe on the outside. After changing direction and tearing away Perkins' defense, he gave the ball to Cousins, who pulled up a layup and easily scooped up two points. …,

The Celtics' counteroffensive followed. Garnett also followed surprisingly quickly, the Celtics' offense still needs to revolve around Garnett, Monroe, who is in charge of defense, struggled to push Garnett out of the danger zone as much as possible, but Garnett, who looked thin, broke out and made him feel very difficult, Garnett received the outside Pierce's lob ball, shook and turned around and cut into the basket is a violent dunk, and immediately led the team to change colors.

No matter what Garnett said or promised before coming to the Celtics, there's one thing that no one can change, he's the Shirt Giant. Even though he always insists that Pierce is the owner of this team, everyone knows that the Dow Shirts are Garnett's team.

"Take it, Paul!"

Li Feng personally received the baseline ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and changed direction several times to shake off the entanglement of Rondo, who was on the way. Passed the center circle with ease.

It is difficult for anyone to understand what kind of feeling Li Feng has in his heart at this time, and even those experts who are following this game cannot guess what he is thinking.

The overall winner? Li Feng's heart is like thousands of ants lurking, his heart is itching, he doesn't know if the Knicks team can reach the finals this season, but after all, there is such an opportunity, and at this moment, the O'Brien Cup has a stronger and stronger trend for his charm. Especially after he staged 60+, this thought in his heart became stronger and stronger.

In the first meeting with the Celtics last month, Li Feng led the team to occupy the home advantage, and his mentality was relatively calm at that time, but now, just after he completed 61 points, his mentality has changed unconsciously, and the ambition hidden in his heart can no longer be contained, and this situation can not even be compared with the previous period of Biao Biao performance.

If tonight's away game can be scooped, the Knicks will lead the Celtics 4-1 in the regular season, which can definitely lay a strong psychological advantage for the Knicks' possible peak battle of the Eastern Conference Finals, Li Feng is so eager for this that he has completely forgotten some of the words he said before the game, and only has the idea of defeating the Celtics in his heart.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Li Feng's rapid dribble has not passed through the transition of Lowry, directly into the inside, diagonally to the weak side of the basket, facing Perkins who came to help defend him, he was not afraid at all, leaned on Perkins strongly, and threw a layup.

"Boy, you're so arrogant!"

Perkins instinctively felt that Li Feng's attack seemed to be a challenge to his domination of the basket, and instead of his previous laziness, he jumped hard and stretched out his long arms to try to block, and he wanted to teach Li Feng a lesson to remember.

Syllable!

The forward rush was too violent, and Li Feng rushed directly out of the bottom line after landing.

He frowned after the shot, and the moment he made the shot did not feel good, and sure enough, although the high-tossed basketball successfully passed Perkins' block, it was over-impacted and smashed on the outside edge of the basket.

Garnett, who was stuck on the inside, desperately leaned Monroe behind him and grabbed the rebound steadily.

Compared to Li Feng, who attacked unusually strongly, Pierce played more steadily.

Through Garnett's transfer, he re-received the ball and forced his way to the basket.

Quickly grabbed in front of Li Feng and scored a one-handed layup.

Force!

Not only that, but Pierce also caused an unwilling Li Feng behind him to foul and hit a free throw.

After hitting a three-pointer and going head-to-head with Li Feng, Pierce's solo performance suddenly plunged the entire North Shore Garden Arena into a carnival, and now Li Feng's statement has been put on the same level as Kobe Bryant and James. …,

Pierce, a beloved player among Boston fans, should have been in the same bracket, and a head-to-head win over Li Feng tonight would certainly be even more convincing.

Bang bang bang!

Li Feng became more and more urgent, but this mentality made his next three strong offensive shots miss the basket one after another.

Force!

"Feng, you can rest for a while!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Taberdu immediately called a timeout to try to calm Li Feng down.

"What the hell did I do?"

Li Feng sat on the bench and finally calmed down a little, squinting at the scorer was so dazzling, and his team was already 2-10 behind in just over a minute of the opening minute, which was completely off track from what he thought on the field, and he secretly asked himself in his heart.

Matthews took Li Feng's place, and the game became a little normal at this moment, and the Knicks' offense and defense gradually resumed their discipline, and Li Feng watched all this coldly.

Matthews, of course, is not as good as Li Feng, but without Li Feng, the Knicks rely on Lori to control the rhythm, and the offense is much more reasonable.

But then came more pressure, without Li Feng, the Greeks from the outside from time to time shrank to the inside to attack Cousins or Monroe, and suddenly gave the Celtics a clear upper hand.

Whew...... Under the morale of the other, the Celtics seemed to have taken doping, and their luck was surprising, and the baskets they threw went into the basket one after another, and even Perkins' free throws were able to score, on the other hand, the Knicks.

Both offensive and defensive ends are at a disadvantage.

Scooping the active Garnett and Pierce had no choice, and at this time, Ray Allen, another big man of the Greeks, unknowingly hit three three-pointers.

Force! Tyberdu reluctantly called a timeout again.

"Tom, send me on, I don't want to lose this game!"

Just as Tyberdu signaled Cousins to call a timeout, Li Feng stood up, his expression was a little ugly, looking at the more dazzling score on the score, he clenched his fists fiercely, his impatience obviously affected the performance of the whole team.

25-8, just over four minutes into the game, the Knicks were a complete mess tonight.

"Have you figured it out? Otherwise, I'll have to replace you later! ”

Tyberdu rarely showed a look of dissatisfaction with Li Feng, not because he was dissatisfied with Li Feng's strong victory, but because he was very dissatisfied with the way Li Feng handled the game.

"Think it through!"

Li Feng was slightly stunned, looking at Tyberdu's dissatisfied look, he was also holding back the fire in his heart, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the team's current situation.

"Tom, I didn't know a little bit about my mind just now, but now that I've calmed down, I'm going to be responsible for the consequences, please believe me!"

"I have never doubted you, so why should I believe your claims? Do you still doubt your own strength? ”

Tyberdu looked at Li Feng's slightly nervous expression amusedly, and said with a rare smile: "

I don't want to know what you're thinking, but as the brain and heart of this team, you have to be self-controlling and self-regulating at all times, and if it's the playoffs tonight, will the opponent give you so many opportunities to make mistakes? ”

Belch?

Being reminded by Tyberdu, Li Feng immediately realized his problem, nodded solemnly, and said to himself secretly:

"Why think so far, whether it's the regular season or the playoffs, what's the use of being in a hurry? Strive to play every game well, enhance your strength step by step through the game, and as for the final result, it is also the ultimate embodiment of strength! ”

He suddenly remembered those memorable games this season, he didn't think too much about it at that time, just thinking about how to lead the team to win, and the reason why he was able to perform like that is undoubtedly inseparable from the overall effort of the team.
