After the All-Star break, playing with Natalie for a few days, Li Feng returned to the rest of the regular season, and on the afternoon of February 26, the Knicks welcomed the return of James Harden.

Harden returned to the starting lineup in the first game of his return, and he also scored 28 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Li Feng's 33 points combined to contribute 60 points, but the Knicks were defeated against the New Jersey Nets.

In this game, Harden returned, and it seemed that the team was stronger, but in the game, the team's overall tacit understanding was not good, and in the days when Harden and Cousins were suspended, everyone was used to each other, and now that Harden is back, the team's tacit understanding has been disrupted again.

Just when everyone thought it was just an accident, as long as the team could readjust, the Knicks slipped from the first place in the league and the first place in the East with a wave of four consecutive defeats, and the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls successively surpassed the Knicks to occupy the first and second positions in the East, and the first place in the league returned to the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.

After four consecutive defeats, the Knicks challenged the Indiana Pacers away, before this game, Tyberdu made fine-tuning to the lineup, Harden returned to the bench as the team's sixth man, and Wright returned to the starting lineup again, which does not mean that Wright is stronger than Harden, but in the current unstable situation, let Harden and Matthews steal points on the bench, and Wright, who has relatively weak individual scoring ability, can play a greater role under the leadership of Li Feng and others.

The change worked well on the night, with a lineup of Matthews, Harden and Korver successfully supporting the team's stoppage time, and Wright, who started the game, did not disappoint Tyberdeau, playing 30 minutes and scoring a team-high 21 points.

……

Throwing off Dante Jones' defense, Wright cut to the basket with the help of Ibaka's block, Li Feng shook off Granger's defense and pushed the basketball to the middle, Wright caught the ball and jumped up. The lightning shot and the basketball went into the basket.

This happened many times, making it difficult for the Pacers to defend, and when the game entered the middle of the final quarter, the two sides were very fierce, and neither side could pull the score gap to more than two points, even if Harden replaced Wright and returned to the court.

……

One minute before the end. Dante Jones broke through and drew a foul on Harden, followed by two free throws. The two sides fought again to a 90-all draw.

"Damn, these guys are really tough!"

The pressure of always leading and then being tied puts the Knicks players under a lot of pressure, and Lloris dribbled to the front court and called a 60-second timeout, they need to calm down, otherwise this kind of critical time is nothing but a problem. The whole game was about to come to naught.

Tyberdu looked at the panting players, he was very dissatisfied with the team's defense in this game, especially the rebounding ball was almost out of control, and the opponent grabbed the offensive rebounds many times, otherwise the overall situation should have been decided by now, but he must now encourage the players to survive the critical moment after the worst.

"It's all about running for me, and then it's a big deal, whether it's an inside player or an outside player, when you get an open shot. Gotta throw me in! ”

He explained the blocking and misalignment offensive tactics again, and continued with a low roar:

"When you're back on the pitch, everyone is giving full play to their energy, both offensively and defensively! - That's all I have to tell you! ”

Just before going on the court, Tyberdu stared at Li Feng deeply, and it was obvious that if he couldn't run out of the vacant position in the future, he would only have to rely on Li Feng's singles ability. The latter just nodded faintly, and resolutely stepped onto the court, if he was forced to make a forced move. He will definitely not back down in the slightest, he is the king of the Knicks. The Knicks' success or failure is on their own. …,

After the timeout, Li Feng received the ball near the center circle, just dribbled to the right wing of the three-point line, and faced the attack of Granger and Jones, the Pacers used a triangle defense inside, faintly jammed his pass to the weak side of the line, and had to pass the ball with his back to Harden at the top of the arc, who also had a defender in front of him, and then transferred the basketball to the inside.

Monroe, who entered the All-Star, was desperately blocked by Hibbert outside the three-second zone, difficult to approach his best range, transferred the ball again, and after Lowry on the weak side received the ball, he was interfered with by Collison and lost the best shot opportunity, so he had to pass the basketball to the top of the arc again,......, Knicks played very patiently on this offense, and finally after Harden received the ball for the third time, the opponent's defense had a fatal gap.

Maybe it's not a good opportunity, but it looks like a good opportunity for the Knicks!

After a round of changes, Li Feng was the only one in front of Granger to defend, and after he received the ball, his teammates on the court opened up a single space for him, his eyes flashed slightly, and after the feint swayed, the dribble forced Granger to break through the left hand side of the inside line.

Granger almost lost his defensive position, and he tugged at Li Feng's jersey from a hidden angle before he could catch up with Li Feng's footsteps, accelerating sideways and sticking to it tightly.

Obviously, even if the referee sees it, he may not award a foul, and this kind of critical moment after the worst moment, as long as the foul is not too obvious, will be directly ignored, which seems to have become one of the league's practices.

"Grass, since you let Lao Tzu in, you will have to bear the consequences of being broken through the defense!"

Ignoring Hibbert, who was helping to defend in front of him, he forced his stride to leap up and raised the basketball high with his left hand.

Granger's timing of the jump was half a beat slower, but he still raised his hand to block Li Feng's shot, and his helper Hibbert faintly blocked Li Feng's shooting angle with better physical condition.

Sou!

Li Feng still forced the basketball with a good feeling, he was forced to adjust the angle of the shot, in the moment of the shot, the feel was not bad, the arc of the flight in the air looked good, before the person landed, he shouted frantically in his heart:

"Let me in!"

Syllable!

It's a pity that the basketball didn't sense Li Feng's heart, the basketball bounced out, and the Pacers Hibbert grabbed the basketball from the top of Monroe's head with a better bounce, and couldn't pass the ball in the face of Monroe and Ibaka's bag on the side, so he had to quickly call a 100-second timeout after the most abrupt game of the game.

"Damn it!"

Li Feng rushed out of the baseline after landing on the ground, and looked back to see Hibbert grabbing the rebound, swinging his right fist and smashing it on his left palm, if this ball was changed to a right-handed layup. Maybe just go in,

"If you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to fight in the future!"

Dejected, he walked back to the rest area, he didn't have time to reflect on this attack, and it was better to have the energy to throw into the next defense.

Thirty-eight seconds left until the end of the regular season.

"They've got to be Granger's last shot, James. As soon as you two get a chance, start pinch him! ”

"I know it!"

Harden, who was put back on the bench, was not dissatisfied, and he knew that after Cousins returned. He should be able to return to the starter, and the reason why he is now put back in the field is because of the team's tactical needs, on the other hand, Harden is not good enough, if he can reach Li Feng's state, the tactics have to serve him, but this is if. Harden also knows.

"Hmm!"

Li Feng nodded, this guy Granger is like he fought like yesterday, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block his attack, but no matter what the final result is, he only needs to do his best, not to mention that there is another chance to attack next.

After returning to the court, the Pacers did not rush to attack, and after Granger received the ball near the center circle, he immediately passed the basketball out of the court, and Hibbert on the inside received the ball and passed it again. ......, after Jones ,......, Hibbert ,......, multiple back-and-forth passes, the Knicks' attempt to wrap up was easily crushed. …,

When Granger received the ball again, the time was in the single digits. Lori was nervous for a while, snapping ......, and the pace of the dribble began to pick up. Shaking, feint shots. Accelerating the breakthrough, Granger broke through like lightning, and Li Feng, who was pulled to the side, strode to block Granger's breakthrough line, but the latter's determination to attack was extremely resolute, with a quick stop, a jump shot, and Li Feng, who was still retreating rapidly, had to watch the basketball fly overhead.

Swish!

Roar!

Granger swung his right arm into the void in front of him, and then tugged at the jersey in front of him with both hands, and roared in the sky, and he was immediately surrounded by excited teammates, and the balance of victory had begun to tip in their favor.

"It's not that easy to win!"

Li Feng looked at the time with eighteen seconds left, shook his head at Tyberdu, signaled that there was no need to pause, the flaming fire in his eyes won Tyberdu's trust, and took the initiative to run to the bottom line and kick the ball.

"Attack!"

With a roar, he took Lori's return pass, and Li Feng took the lead in rushing forward.

"Fuck, what are you still stunned, hurry up and retreat!"

Pacers coach O'Brien on the sidelines hurriedly jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, fortunately he shouted in time, and Jones, who had developed motor nerves, took the lead in blocking Li Feng's wild run.

The opportunity to attack quickly is lost in an instant, in this case, let's stabilize the rhythm first, and then let's put the suspense of victory and defeat to the bottom!

Li Feng dribbled the ball and walked the arc, unhurriedly crossed the halfway, took advantage of the Pacers' unstable defensive foothold, shook his hand and hoisted the basketball to the weak side, after Lowry received the ball to attract the defense, and passed the basketball to Monroe, who followed up in the middle, the latter just crossed the free throw line, and was immediately defended by Hibbert and McRoberts, and had to raise his hand to pass the basketball.

The basketball returned to the outside, back to Li Feng's hands, and unconsciously reversed the ball several times, and the Pacers' attempt to wrap him naturally went bankrupt, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed in the face of Granger's defense alone.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Li Feng leisurely dribbled on the outside, watching his teammates pull away from the basket, making it difficult for their respective opponents to step forward and unleash the bag on him, and the corner of his eye paid attention to the passage of time.

Ten...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven...... Six......

It's time to get started!

Li Feng's dribbling rhythm suddenly changed, and after two dribbles, he suddenly accelerated to break through, and Jones, who was defending in front, was already on guard, and he was defending tightly with a cross-step on the back.

Break through, get close to the basket, equalize, and play overtime! - It's not just Granger who thinks this way, but most of his teammates and the crowd who support them can't help but think so, and even the Knicks players think this way unconsciously, but ......

Syllable!

Another dribbling sounded, a "squeak" sound, Li Feng's forward right foot suddenly stopped, the center of gravity pulled back, and the left foot that was still on the outside kicked hard and jumped up forcibly. Adjust your shooting momentum with the trend.

It's a shot!

The thought crossed Granger's mind, and he tried to stop, but the inertia of retreating filled his heart with helplessness; His coach and teammates also flashed this thought in their hearts, but they couldn't stop Li Feng's shot either!

Sou!

Woo......! The boos at the scene suddenly rose to a terrifying height, which could make everyone's eardrums a little uncomfortable.

Is it heaven? Or hell? This shot would determine Li Feng's two very different endings, and his nerves were so tense that the boos of the audience in his ears were directly ignored by him. The moment of the shot, the feeling is surprisingly good, and after landing, it retreats with the inertia. He looked confidently at the elf in the air. …,

"Don't go in!"

The Pacers could only watch Li Feng shoot the basketball steadily, and then prayed in their hearts that Li Feng's hands would tremble, and then ......

The basketball arced high and flew towards the basket under the gaze of thousands of eyes.

Trying to force his way forward, Jones, who almost slipped to the ground with one hand, turned his head to stare at the basketball flying in the air, and with a bang, he plunged into the net pocket with the basketball. Out of three!

Quiescence!

At this moment, there was an eerie silence in Consec, and the feeling of disappointed expectations made the Pacers stunned for a moment, with 3.7 seconds left before the end of the game, they needed to expect a miracle again, but they had no timeout!

Syllable!

With Granger on the spurt and more than a meter from the three-point line, the last shot missed in a hurry, and everyone on the Pacers experienced a roller coaster of joy and then sorrow. It wasn't pleasant, but it was a result they had to bear!

Drink!

Watching the basketball come out of the basket, Li Feng finally loosened his tense nerves, and the feeling of suffocation in his heart was extremely uncomfortable, beating his chest and roaring in a low voice. This last shot really put him under a lot of pressure, and luckily, the Goddess of Victory favored him and the Knicks at the last minute.

"Well done. Feng, you didn't disappoint us. Ha Lu Ha ......"

Monroe, who scooped a team-high 31 points and 9 rebounds tonight, rushed up and hugged Li Feng at the first time, even if he has always been calm, he couldn't help but let go of his arms and laughed.

The crowd of team-mates gathered around, all cheering for tonight's lucky victory, the bullshit away pressure was all unwarranted at this point, and they only had the result of victory in their hearts.

But after all, it was on the road, they had a short celebration and then rushed into the tunnel in droves, they needed to go back to the dressing room to celebrate, this difficult away win two in a row was not easy, it was completely exhausting, the heavy pressure was really not so comfortable, they needed to vent a bit, have a carnival, completely release all the pressure, and then travel lightly to face the rest of the road trip.

Monroe, who was voted the best after the game, looked excited in an interview, and it was evident in his words:

'Of course it's exciting to win a game like this, it's our first back-to-back away win of the year, so a result will definitely give us a lot of confidence for the next games!'

Saying that, he continued with a serious face:

"I'm sure it's clear to everyone now that we're learning how to win away games and how to win more games! We're going to keep fighting and doing everything we can until the end of the season! ”

As for the end of the regular season? Or is it the end of the playoffs after that? Monroe only gave the reporter a confident smile and quickly slipped into the tunnel to enjoy the victory with everyone in the team, and of course, he also needed to release the huge pressure on his shoulders!

Although Li Feng only scooped up 25 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, his performance at the critical moment still left a deep impression on Reggie Miller, who watched the game.

"I have a hunch that sooner or later he's going to become a superstar! This little guy plays very hard, has the courage to take responsibility, and is good at reading the game, he has begun to understand the true meaning of the game, and more importantly, he is a natural superstar!
