Cousins won the rebound in the backcourt, and the Nuggets quickly returned to defense, for fear that the Knicks would fight back.

Lawson walked unhurriedly towards the Nuggets half, and the Knicks fell into a battle again.

Li Feng pulled outside the three-point line to cover Harden, Harden broke through, Gary Neiri did not change the defense, and handed over the task of blocking and dismantling to Farid.

Cousins made an off-ball cover for Rose on the other side and helped him get rid of Afrado, the Nuggets' defense was a little messy, Lawson went to chase Rose, and although the rotation position was in place, the opportunity had been lost.

Harden passed, Rose received the ball in the middle and cut into the inside, and scored a backhand layup!

The score was quickly pulled away. The Nuggets' defense looks porous, with Farid following Cousins and his blocking ability completely unplayed, and McGee being forced to switch guards again and again.

The Nuggets' offense was also limited, the Knicks strictly guarded the Nuggets' two cores, Lawson and Garyneri, and let others shoot, Rose and Li Feng were not so easy to pass.

If you want to block and dismantle cooperation, you have to play inside, but the Knicks two inside lines are shrinking in the restricted area and can't come out, preferring to let McGee and Farid shoot easily. Nor did he let two stars burst into the penalty area.

The Knicks' offense Nuggets can't be stopped, as long as Monroe gives Li Feng a cover, he has a way to send the ball to the basket under McGee's defense, 7 minutes, McGee had no choice but to be replaced by Li Feng's second foul, replaced by Coopers, and the defense is not as good as McGee's bench inside.

Li Feng continued to rely on breakthroughs to create inside kills in the first quarter, hitting all 8 free throws, and scoring 18 points and 3 assists with full firepower. Gary Neri had 8 points and 4 rebounds, and he was still no match for Li Feng.

The Knicks led by 10 points at 32-22.

Li Feng used his actions to illustrate the gap between the two, he did not deliberately go head-to-head with Garyneri, and ravaged McGee under cover.

McGee is off the stage. The Nuggets' defense in the low post isn't as solid.

In the second quarter, the two sides switched to the bench. The gap is even more pronounced. The Nuggets' offensive strength is only Lawson, the Knicks sent Livingston to take care of it, Wright and Parsons played a pick-and-roll cooperation, and Wright looked for an opportunity to shoot a three-pointer. Ibaka plays low singles.

Ibaka, who was originally a blue-collar worker, became a bully on the inside, scoring twice in a row in the low post.

Wright and J.R. Smith hit two three-pointers to stretch the score to 18 points.

Lawson was entangled by Livingston and couldn't find his rhythm, and he could make a difference when he caught the ball. Livingston tried not to let him catch the ball as much as possible.

The Nuggets sent the main team, but they failed to set off a momentum of chasing points, and the Knicks have maintained a high-intensity defense.

Li Feng, Kirilenko, and Livingston are extremely solid on the outside, scoring inside, and Kirilenko and Ibaka are waiting, Ibaka is the meat shield, and Kirilenko is responsible for blocking, and they cooperate tacitly.

In the second half, the Knicks deliberately broke into the interior to make fouls, and Li Feng singled McGee many times. Jump when you get away, and break through when you get close.

McGee was outraged. In the third quarter, he pulled Li Feng off the air with a heavy hand and ate a malicious foul.

After McGee was replaced, Li Feng began to score singles again in the low post, and as soon as the Knicks played an inside-outside combination, the Nuggets collapsed.

Throughout the game, the Nuggets didn't have a single lead.

"Magic" Johnson lamented:

"It's not that the Nuggets are bad, it's that the Knicks are too strong, I think unless someone can limit Li Feng's scoring efficiency one-on-one, the Knicks will be invincible, no matter where the Nuggets are, the Nuggets can't limit Li Feng, pay attention, I mean limiting, not preventing ......."

In this game, the Nuggets used multiple people to defend Li Feng, the interior players can't keep up with the speed, the outside player Gary Neri can't fight, Lawson can fight and has no height, Afrado is the Nuggets' best outside defensive player, but if he plays for a long time, the Nuggets have one less offensive point.

The Knicks won 129-100 by 29 points, Li Feng played 35 minutes, scored 42 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, and other Knicks players also played well, with 6 scoring double-doubles.

Gary Neiri had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and the offense was not smooth, and he used his strength to grab rebounds. The home team lost, but the Nuggets fans did not show too much disappointment, it was enough for them to enjoy a good game, it was not so easy to beat the Knicks, and after Anthony left, Nuggets fans have long been used to the Nuggets losing.

After playing the Nuggets, the Knicks rushed back to New York overnight to meet the challenges of the Phoenix Suns back-to-back.

Gortat and Monroe were jumping balls, and this time it was Gortat who won, and Monroe jumped slowly.

Dudley took the basketball and passed it to Nash, who slowly ran towards the Knicks half court with the ball.

The Knicks opened with man-marking, the Suns' forward is the big shooter Channing Fry, the Knicks are inconvenient to compress the defense to the restricted area, except for Gortat, the Suns' shooting is good, Frye has a three-point shooting rate of 48% this season, close to 5 percent.

On the perimeter, Harden defended Nash, Rose followed Shannon Brown, Lee Feng defended Dudley, Monroe played against Fry, and Cousins played against Gortat.

Frye went to the outside to cover Nash, and Gortat also raised the high post.

Nash's advantage of fast speed was brought into play, breaking through with the ball to bypass Harden, and then passing Monroe to break into the inside, Monroe made up the defense, Nash passed to Gortat in the high position, Monroe made up the defense, but Gortat quickly distributed the ball to Fry on the perimeter, and the Knicks exposed the vacancy at the beginning.

Frye made a three-point shot and hit it steadily. In the league, big men who can shoot three-pointers, as long as the defense is not too bad, can at least mix in the middle class.

The Knicks offense, also aimed at the interior offense, Monroe and Monroe both had baskets, and the Suns' formation did not dare to tighten, 32 joint defense, Frye defended Monroe and followed the outside, Gortat carried Monroe and was responsible for the defense of the low post.

The Knicks players pulled away, Tyberdu arranged a high-post blocking tactic, Monroe pulled to the perimeter, Li Feng kept running and received a pass from Rose.

Monroe blocked Dudley and Frye switched defenses.

The Knicks' main offensive weapon is misalignment, Li Feng faced Frye, without any feints, and threw off the defense with a change of direction and broke into the interior.

Gortat let go of Monroe's defense, and Li Feng took two big steps. There was no take-off. Throw the ball into the air with one hand. Monroe flew up and scored with a one-handed catch. Before the game, Tyberdu had already thought about the possibility of the Suns blocking and displacing the offense, and Channingfrye could withdraw the inside. He also has a weakness, which is the slow speed, Monroe can keep up with him, and there is no problem with defending the outside line.

Li Feng reached the low post in the mixed defense. If the pick-and-roll is replaced, he can complement Nash, and he can also defend Dudley's deep position.

Once the Suns block and Li Feng lets go of Dudley, there will be misalignment in other positions, and it will be necessary to rely on the rotation position to defend.

Monroe is the least good at playing joint defense tactics, so he doesn't have to change positions, and the task is to keep an eye on Gortat. If others throw in, the Knicks will have to admit it.

Frye covered again, and Monroe didn't change his guard. Harden immediately ran towards Dudley, and Li Feng switched to Nash. blocked his breakaway lane while reaching out to prevent Nash's shot.

Nash passed to Dudley, who carried Harden through with his strong body and rushed inside.

Li Feng let go of Nash to go up to Guy Dudley from the side, occupying the interior line, one person defends two, and Harden's role is to block Dudley on the perimeter, interfere with him, and make him unable to shoot easily.

Harden has a lot of power and bounces, which can be done, and the low post will be handed over to Li Feng.

As soon as Dudley broke through, Harden went to defend Nash.

The change of position was very fast, and Dudley wanted to pass Nash again, but it was difficult to get a chance, so he chose to play by himself.

He leaned on Li Feng with his back in the position, and quickly turned to the middle to shoot with one hand, Li Feng did not resist hard, and slid to the basket, Dudley's movements were completed in one go, but he did not shake off Li Feng, and the shot was covered by a slap!

Dealing with Li Feng can't be hard, Dudley's turning action is very beautiful, but it lacks change, he has used this trick too many times, Li Feng has a deep study of turning, and he knows very well how to follow up.

Harden picked up the basketball, and Li Feng rushed forward as soon as he landed, shaking off Dudley with speed.

Harden rushed to the Suns half with the ball, passed to Rose on the run, and Rose passed to Li Feng.

Dudley didn't follow, and Gortat fended against him, spreading his arms and blocking the breakout.

The Suns are very fast on the back, which is their biggest characteristic, and they are just as the inside.

Li Feng dribbled the ball to Gortat, and squeezed twice with his back to the inside line in one step inside the three-point line.

He was waiting for Monroe.

Monroe squeezed into the middle, and Li Feng immediately jumped up and hoisted the ball in with a hook motion with one hand.

Monroe singled Channing Fry with his back, first shook to the left, and then turned to the right, Monroe took a long step in one step, plus his arm span, and a low-handed layup, and now Frye couldn't keep up with him, and the ball went in. The Knicks overtook the score.

Monroe scored four points in a row, which was a big surprise.

Buckley Road:

"It is not difficult to see that Monroe's skills are still very rough, but his talent is indeed not ordinary, so as long as the hit rate can be guaranteed, the Sun's two inside lines are not him."

Kenny Smith said:

"I don't know if Tyberdu arranged Monroe's main attack, Li Feng passed the ball to him twice, if the Knicks can open up the inside line in this game, the Suns will not be able to play."

The Knicks are still a mixed defense, with Monroe defending Gortat and others relying on rotation to defend pick-and-rolls.

Nash passed the ball to Brown this time, Frye covered, or Li Feng followed, Livingston passed the ball out, and Dudley made a pull-up jump shot.

After that, both sides began to drop in their hit percentages, and the iron was frequently struck.

Monroe went out to defend Fry, not sitting on the inside, the protection of rebounds is not as good as usual, Monroe is very powerful on the offensive end, but the defensive end belongs to the sky to eat, if Uncle Monroe looks at the other party, maybe he will not give the other party a chance to rebound, but the Polish hammer is very well-behaved, and Uncle Monroe has become a good cat at this time.

In the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, and Li Feng only scored 4 points on a jump shot after blocking and dismantling, but grabbed 6 rebounds, handed out 5 assists, and had 2 blocks.

He played a key role on the defensive end, working with Monroe to guard the low post and keep the Suns shooting from the perimeter.

The Knicks' top scorer was James Harden, who relied on the perimeter and Monroe's pick-and-roll to score 8 points.

Channing Fry can't defend on the court, Gortat can't defend if he keeps the low post, Fry doesn't follow out, Monroe can shoot on the perimeter, and today the Knicks role players stepped up and played well.

A five-point lead at 26-21 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Suns replaced Robin Lopez, Varik, Hill, Dudley, and Ronnie Price.

Tyberdu sent Diop, Ibaka, Smith, Wright, Belinelli.

Belinelli has been playing less recently, and now Tyberdu wants him to play a pick-and-roll combination.

Against Ronnie Price, the two are the same type, and Belinelli's defense may not suffer.

If two people prevent each other from dying. The Knicks also have Wright and Smith on offense. The sun is only Dudley who does not rest.

Smith vs. Dudley. It is also possible to put pressure on him in the second team to prevent him from scoring easily, with Parsons and Livingston, who had previously received a lot of playing time, sitting on the bench and Kirilenko is not expected to play today. This change of formation had an effect. It wasn't easy for the Suns to let Dudley play off the bench, Smith was very tight, he was full of energy, and Dudley had already fought for a quarter.

Wright didn't suffer a loss against veteran Hill either. Hill was too slow to break through, and the only means left were jump shots.

The inside Ibaka is Warik's nemesis, the unlucky Walik can't get into the inside, the outside mid-range shot can't get open opportunities, there is no play, and Lopez Jr. can't play Gortat inside.

The Suns' offensive tasks were all on Dudley and Price, and the two opened with a lot of iron.

The Knicks' offense is much better. Hit a wave of 10 to 2 small highs. tide, stretching the score to 13 points.

Smith dodged Dudley with a pick-and-roll and scored six points on a single Varrick. Belinelli scored a goal on the counter-attack and the other two points were won by Ibaka. He turned to the baseline and passed Varick and scored a backhand layup, and in this quarter, the thin Varik became the Knicks' first breakthrough.

Serge Ibaka can occasionally make some unbelievable moves to score goals, and he also has some tricks, but it's too inconsistent. The Suns changed back to the main force, and the Knicks also made immediate substitutions, with Monroe, Li Feng, and Harden on the court, replacing Wright, Ibaka, and Diop.

While maintaining defensive intensity, strengthen the offense.

The Suns used the "Jordan Rule" against Li Feng, letting Dudley defend Li Feng alone and defend others strictly, and Li Feng didn't attack much in the first quarter, and Suns coach Hosenac thought he could do so.

But just over a minute later, Li Feng singled Dudley twice and hit a 45-degree angle pull-out jumper, announcing that he was on fire.

Dudley's shortcomings in slow lateral movement were once again revealed, and if Li Feng wanted to pull out in front of him, he could throw off the distance in one step, and he couldn't catch up.

The Suns reluctantly strengthened their defense against Li Feng, and Smith took on the offensive responsibility again.

When Li Feng was on the court, he was in the position of Brown, which was also a natural misalignment, and Smith's efficiency has been high, and this time Tyberdu arranged for him to pounce on Brown and maintained a high success rate.

Li Feng made a wedding dress for his teammates after attracting defense in the second quarter, and Smith scored 14 points in a single quarter.

The Knicks led by 12 points at halftime, 60-48.

In the third quarter, the Knicks did not replace defensive players to seek stability, and sent Rose, Wright, Harden, Li Feng, and Monroe, leaving only Monroe alone on the inside, and Cousins, a good cat, sat obediently on the bench.

This is the Knicks' lightning combination, which is very fast, except for Monroe, all four can play a fast break, and everyone has a good shot and an offensive distance.

Against this lineup, the Suns can't compress the defense.

Li Feng only scored 8 points in the first half, and in the face of the Knicks' lineup, the Suns did not dare to assist Li Feng in defense, and the four of them opened up to create a single opportunity for him.

Li Feng plays the No. 4 position, and Frye must defend himself, otherwise Li Feng will be able to shake off the defense as soon as he rushes up, and Li Feng's shooting is also like this, if he doesn't follow up, he can shoot the Sun alive.

Frye's defense is out of the woods, and the perimeter can't relax the defense against Harden and Wright, who shoot very accurately and can open up offensive space.

At this time, Monroe only needs to give Li Feng a cover to make him misplaced against Gortat.

The Polish Hammers have been okay offensively, scoring seven points so far, but the defense is not good.

Li Feng's speed was too fast, and he couldn't keep up.

In just two minutes, Li Feng hit Gortat with his back, turned to the middle and threw the ball backwards, received the ball and turned to the bottom line, and scored with both hands behind his back; Crotch dribble and Gota tra distance, 45 degree angle wipe board.

Li Feng hit continuously, Gortat couldn't prevent being angry, and after Li Feng got rid of the ball in the low post, he fouled and sent Li Feng to the free throw line, hitting all 2 free throws, and Howard's substitute was blown out in just a few minutes...... Li Feng scored 11 points in a row, widening the gap to 19 points, and the playing Hosenac called a timeout.

In this game, Li Feng took advantage of his advantages and combined passing, throwing, and breaking well, and his teammates were also very competitive, especially Smith, who gave him a lot of help.

Frye's defense couldn't do it, and the Suns could only let Lopez play and strengthen their defense.

However, as soon as Lopez is on the line, the Suns have two players who are not good at shooting, and the Knicks can use the 23 joint defense to compress the defense, and it will be more difficult to chase points.

During the pause, the TV commentators commented on the game. Barkley laughed:

"In this game, the Knicks played their own advantages, and the Suns couldn't stand it, if Li Feng can insist on playing like this, Harden, Wright, and Rose will maintain their condition, and Cousins can sit on the bench and wait for the Knicks to win the playoffs."

Kenny Smith said: "It's not easy to maintain the form, the rookie is always inconsistent, Smith stepped up to help Li Feng today, and he has an advantage in singles Brown. ”

The two chatted, and the fourth quarter began, with the Suns replacing Lopez Jr. and the Knicks lineup unchanged.

Monroe defends Lopez and doesn't have to follow the inside, and the situation is still in favor of the Knicks.

The Knicks still use blocking and dismantling tactics, Li Feng attacks with the ball, and after relying on Monroe to cover and shake off Dudley, if Gortat comes to change defense, he immediately passes the ball, Monroe pulls out the outside line, and Lopez Jr. can only follow, a misposition on the other side, whether it is Harden or Wright, you can rush inside.
