Chapter 186: Crazy Slashing
"It's a bunch of crazy people, it's just a mess, I can't find any shadow of the Celtics or the Knicks!"
Today's Madison Square Garden welcomed some heavyweight broadcast commentators, and the big-mouthed Barkley arrived from Los Angeles, and after a short break, he immediately began to make eye-catching remarks.
"I originally wanted to see the contest between Kevin and Li Feng, but now it has become a mess, which has benefited Li Feng and his team, but such a waste of physical strength in attack and defense will only make a comeback tragedy in the final stage of this game!"
"However, how do I think that Li Feng's performance in this game may surprise us again, his fighting spirit is so terrible, so that his teammates around him have begun to exert their strength, he made me see the most important qualities that a superstar should have!"
Kenny Smith, who has always been a good partner for Barkley, has a different opinion at this time. *book* bar()
"D'Antoni and Li Feng's little guy are holding on, they are very clear about the next situation of the game, the Knicks team without Li Feng is still the original vulnerable team, but if it continues to play like this, Li Feng will feel physical fatigue sooner or later, he will feel powerless in the most critical game in the last quarter, maybe he will regret his stupid decision after the game!"
Barkley didn't agree with Smith.
And the reason why this guy came to watch this game was to see how much energy Li Feng could burst out in the playoffs, but Li Feng was in a hot state before. Buckley somehow. I actually saw the shadow of the former Michael Jordan in this little guy.
"I don't know if what you said will come true, but I am very sure of one thing, in my impression, throughout the season, especially in the second half of the season, Li Feng has been using his brain when playing, he may have taken this into account, let's see what happens next!"
Kenny Smith remained firm in his opinion, and Li Feng's status in his eyes was not much lower than James's.
"Hey guys!"
Just before the start of the second quarter. Li Feng called out to his teammates who were about to play and gathered everyone together.
said with a serious face:
"I hope everyone can see this match as the last matchup. We need to win, we need to keep holding on to the lead, it's like a fine line between heaven and hell! ”
"One...... Two...... Three...... Come on! ”
"Front"
When he stepped onto the field, D'Antoni pulled Li Feng. With a slight smile on his face.
Admonished:
"Pay attention to your physical distribution, when your teammates are in shape, you will reduce some breakthroughs, and your presence must not be missing in the last quarter of the game!"
"Don't worry, Mike, I'll make a decision based on the situation!"
Corey hit a half-turn jumper on the left wing......
...... in a shot near Thornton's baseline
Harrington was also able to force Pierce for a layup......
Harden, who returned to the court, received the ball and changed direction to make a layup......
The Knicks' offense finally began to normalize, and Li Feng also began to take on the responsibility of supporting the team, and the burden on his body was a little lighter, but he still did not let his guard down.
There were two occasions when the Celtics came close to the score. He immediately gave his opponent a head shot with a three-pointer and an outside shot.
With the help of their teammates at all costs, the Knicks extended their lead slightly after halftime, leading by five points at 68-63, and this stalemate continued until the end of the third quarter.
Ray Allen made a three-point shot on Thornton's head, and after a reversal, Corey missed a strong attack, and Rondo immediately broke through to a layup on the counterattack to tie the score in one fell swoop. …,
“SHIT! How do you make a cooked duck fly away? ”
Li Feng feels that his fitness is not bad, and D'Antoni has always been able to seize the situation and call a timeout to give him and his teammates a precious respite. It's time for him to step up, too.
Bang Bang Bang ...... After the block.
Li Feng made a jumper, attracting Perkins, who switched defenses on the spot, to jump up and block.
He didn't continue to break through. Leaned forward and stuck to Perkins, jumped up and threw the basketball with feeling.
Boom! As expected, the basketball hits the basket and pops up.
Force!
But the referee also made a penalty immediately, and Li Feng got three free throws.
"Well done!"
D'Antoni stood on the sidelines and gave a thumbs up to Li Feng, who was very clever in finding a foul this time, just as the opponent was chasing points. It can constantly hit the momentum of the opponent's ground, and it can also slow down the physical strength of yourself and your teammates to almost reach the limit.
Take a deep breath. Standing at the free throw line, it felt good to shoot the basketball, raised his hand and shot an arc, the first free throw, and then, as usual, unhurried consecutive free throws, took the lead again, and also got about half a minute to adjust.
Garnett turned around and hit a hook shot on Li Feng's head, Li Feng suddenly brought up the rhythm this time, dribbling quickly followed behind the opponent and chased after him, and after making a block with Harden near the center circle, he shook off the defense and took Pierce straight to the outside of the three-point line on the right wing, breaking through, stopping urgently, jumping, familiar shooting rhythm, and easily hitting three points.
Rondo slipped the baseline and missed the layup, and when he counterattacked, Li Feng immediately forced Pierce to make a strong layup, and the opponent's defensive hesitation made Li Feng easy to win, and the last offense, Garnett faced Li Feng's tight marking, and decisively pulled back a game with a pull-up jumper, which also made the Celtics only three points behind and entered the last quarter, 91-94.
"I think if Danny Granger can have a tough break like Li Feng, maybe the Pacers can also cause some trouble for the Bostonians!"
Kenny Smith watched the game go on so far, Li Feng was still able to run back and forth on both ends of the court, and he also had a preliminary prediction for the last quarter of the game that was about to start.
"It seems that the current situation is still under Li Feng's control, and the Celtics' desire to be anti-guest may be frustrated!"
"Maybe this kid should be grateful to his teammates for stepping up in time, otherwise he would have been unable to run by now!"
Barkley looked at Li Feng's momentum of grabbing points that had stagnated in the two quarters of the game, and knew that this kid had begun to accumulate energy for the last quarter.
"The Celtics' weak defense doesn't play a role in Li Feng at all, they are almost useless except offense!"
Instead, he began to criticize the parent team that had brought him to the pinnacle of his career, and he hated iron but not steel.
Layups...... Cic...... Hook...... Throwing ...... Pullup jump shot...... Outside three-point ......
In the final quarter of the game, as Kenny Smith predicted, Li Feng's teammates tried their best to defend against the Celtics' counter-attack.
And he performed a variety of shooting methods, almost single-handedly staged a battle with the opponent.
Even once, Li Feng couldn't break through with the ball, and he was forced to the bottom corner of the left wing by Garnett and Pierce, and he could also half-turn and hit a three-point shot.
127-113, in the end, the Knicks were inspired by Li Feng's 24-point performance in the last quarter, and the whole team united to resist the Celtics' fierce counterattack, and struggled to pull the score to 2-1.
Li Feng scored 53 points in the game, and also contributed 17 rebounds and 11 assists, contributing a triple-double in three consecutive games.
"Even though the Celtics sent someone to keep an eye on Li Feng throughout the game, their defense still didn't affect the shooting confidence of the talented all-round forward, and after he hit some difficult shots, I felt that the game was over early, and in fact, the final result of this series became confusing!"
Kenny Smith used this game to make a prediction for the series, and what he said became the front page of the New York Times Sports section the next day - confusing!
In an interview with the New York Times after the game, Barkley also made a fairly pertinent assessment of the series between the Knicks and the Celtics, "Now that the game has been played, neither side has any secrets to speak of!" If the Celtics want to win games, they must always maintain a high-intensity defense; And the Knicks also have a chance, Li Feng has become the biggest problem on the Celtics' defense, provided that Li Feng's teammates around him must be able to grasp the opportunity to shoot in the open position!
