At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Feng originally thought that this was another fierce battle, but it was amazing.

The Spurs were surprisingly weak in the third quarter, and this weakness was both offensive and defensive.

In terms of offense, the Spurs didn't seem to know how to cooperate in the third quarter, but could only rely on Duncan to support the situation alone. Defensively, Spurs' defense is also not connected to each other.

There is a problem on the Spurs' side, if the Knicks are really similar to the Spurs, then the Knicks will definitely lead the Spurs.

However, the Knicks are lower than the Spurs in terms of strength, so the Spurs do not play well, and the biggest benefit for the Knicks is to let Li Feng rest for most of the quarter. The difference between the two teams has not yet widened.

With one minute left in the third quarter, the scores of the two teams remained at 79-76, with the Knicks trailing the Spurs by just three points. Because Li Feng did not play, there was no increase in scoring, which seemed to make people feel that Li Feng's performance was over in the first half.

The final stage of the match is often the most intense moment of the game, and that's when Li Feng decided that he needed more strength.

Li Feng sat on the bench, but what everyone didn't expect was that in the last minute of the third quarter, JR Smith actually broke out at the end again, shooting a three-pointer at the top of the arc and deceiving a 2+ under the basket

Nixstone Guò J.R. Smith's excellent play actually overtook the Spurs in the final minute.

The two teams went into the fourth quarter 81-83.

At the beginning, the Spurs used an all-bench lineup, and the Knicks used a half-bench lineup.

The Spurs' side of the men are point guards Mills, Gary Neal, Danny Green, Dio, Blair.

On the Knicks' side is point guard Belinelli. Shooting guard Parsons, small forward Li Feng, power forward Jones, and center is Vucevic.

The goal of the two teams is the same, they both give the main players a certain amount of rest time and fight for the last stretch. But the thickness of the substitutes of the two teams is completely different! The Spurs' bench lineup is comparable to the Knicks' starter, with a veteran and a young man on the inside, a stable scorer on the outside, and an assault force.

The difference in lineups is so obvious that it is only 1 minute and 40 seconds on the court. The Spurs are overtaking the Knicks again.

At this time, Tyberdeau began to can't help but slowly get on the main player, and the first one he replaced was Livingston.

After the Knicks replaced Livingston, the effect was not seen at all, and Livingston couldn't do much in the face of the opposing Mills' defense, and after another minute, the difference between the two teams widened a little.

At this point, Tyberdu could only increase his chips and replace J.R. Smith with him. The main forces of the Knicks outside are all complete, and the situation is just a little bit stable.

The situation of the Knicks is slightly better, but the Spurs are starting to make substitutions, Ginobili. Split, both appeared, so the situation began to be unclear.

Split has a strong defense, and his arrival has been a significant effect on the Spurs solidifying the interior. Ginobili has an excellent scorer, and he can make the Spurs' offense arrowheads.

As soon as these two people appeared in the third quarter, Taberdu knew in his heart. The spur has already taken out a knife, his own knife is not as good as others, and he has to take out the knife faster than others.

Thinking of this, he immediately replaced Li Feng and Cousins on the court in one go.

At this time, the fourth quarter was exactly 3 minutes into the opening, and Li Feng arrived on the court, and the time he calculated should be enough.

Livingston slowly dribbled over, and the positions of the Knicks players were all floating in the high post, and there was almost no one in the low post.

In this case, Li Feng consciously went to the Spurs' basket to stir it up first, Cousins got the basketball and saw Li Feng go deep into the low post, and he also immediately passed the ball to Li Feng's hands.

At this time, Li Feng played the No. 4 position, and the opposite position was the old Dior, so the pressure on Li Feng was not particularly great.

So Li Feng made two low-post offensive moves after getting the ball, so that the Spurs' defense really shrank towards Li Feng, Mills came to help defend Li Feng, and Li Feng just pushed the basketball into the hands of Livingston, who was empty outside the three-point line.

Livingston received the ball and shot straight from beyond three, and this time he didn't waste the opportunity and easily threw the basketball into the Spurs' basket.

The Knicks used Li Feng to play an inside-outside combination, and Popovich saw that this was not working, and he immediately asked Blair to warm up immediately and be ready to play at any time.

Although Blair allowed Li Feng to score 28 points in the first half, he understood that he had no more options!

Duncan is responsible for attacking, let him defend Li Feng will definitely be broken through by Li Feng, and the rush to break through will not necessarily have an effect, let Leonard defend Li Feng, Li Feng will definitely use his body to play low, and Leonard can't cover it.

So now only Blair can be trusted, the Knicks just played an orderly combination of inside and outside, but the Spurs came over and played surprisingly simple.

Mills passed the ball to Ginobili, who received the ball sideways and then shot a three-pointer straight in front of J.R. Smith.

J.R. Smith was also helpless, watching Ginobili throw the basketball into the Knicks' basket.

To say that Ginobili's three-point shot is also very distinctive, his rhythm is very good, the front hand and squat are very clear when doing the movement, and then the final wrist flick and jump are integrated into a moment.

Defending such a three-point shot, you watch him make a move, you don't jump to cover his face, he moves his wrist and a little basketball goes out, you can't block it; You don't cover your face and jump, but as soon as you jump, he doesn't jump, and he makes a feint and throws you away.

Therefore, a good shooting action will make you have more shooting opportunities than others.

However, it does not mean that this shooting action and rhythm are the most perfect, and the rhythm of shooting needs to be tailored differently according to the characteristics of each person's play and physical characteristics. Unified to the standard that is easy to use in the world, there is no zài in this world at all.

The Spurs played to the end and became simpler, but the Knicks became more and more complicated, advancing from the Spurs halfcourt, and Livingston commanded Li Feng to enter the low post and play low post tactics.

Li Feng was originally reluctant to fight like this. Because once it really starts to stumble in a low position, it means that he needs to open it, but now that he is open, Li Feng still feels that it is too early.

But since Livingston commanded, Li Feng could only go up and fight, but Li Feng fought so suddenly, and felt that Kawhi Leonard was on top.

Li Feng came up and reluctantly asked Leonard to be the card owner, and then Livingston unceremoniously passed the basketball to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng has been getting bolder and bolder recently, and he wants to fight Leonard with the ball, so he bumps back and turns around. Leonard was thrown away by Li Feng at once, and Split came from the other side.

Li Feng just passed the basketball from behind Split to Cousins, Cousins was unguarded behind, and no one could interfere with him if he shot, but for some reason Cousins wanted to dunk.

In this way, Split naturally couldn't let Cousins get his wish, and hit Cousins with a return hand, sending Cousins to the free throw line.

Cousins hit both free throws from the free throw line, but at this point he made another big change inside, and he switched Parker and Duncan to the court. The Spurs' main lineup is also all in place, and the two teams are finally ready to start a showdown.

At this time, the fourth quarter was 3 minutes and 42 seconds, and the score of the two teams was 95-91, and the Spurs slightly led the Knicks by 4 points.

After the pause comes back. The Spurs kicked off, and as soon as they came back in the fourth quarter, the Spurs played in a different style than before. In the previous game, Spurs still played very comprehensively, but it came to a critical moment. The Spurs, however, have been very conservative, tending to let star players solve problems one-on-one, and now Duncan is back on the court. They handed the basketball back to Duncan.

Duncan faced Cousins single, took a probe in a three-threat posture on the ball, and then suddenly broke through inside, which directly caused Cousins' defensive foul.

The Knicks sent Duncan to the free-throw line, which was not a good deal, and Duncan hit both free throws.

The difference was widened to 6 points, 97-91!

Blair is finally back, and Li Feng feels a lot of pressure when he arrives at the Spurs' court, and Blair's strength and speed are not comparable to Leonard's.

It was difficult for Li Feng to get a position in the low post, and after the fourth quarter, the Spurs were really desperate, and the defensive intensity was not the same as the first three quarters.

Li Feng ran two laps in the Spurs' half, and did not find a suitable opportunity, and Li Feng was blocked here.

Li Feng was the only one who did it alone, he raised his hand and threw out a three-point shot, but the three-point shot was missed.

jumped out all of a sudden, Blair, who defended Li Feng, was originally a big forward, as soon as he saw the rebound, he seemed to see the puppy of the bones go back and snatched it like crazy, but Li Feng stood near the three-point line, observing the situation, whether to quickly return to defense.

At this time, Cousins, who was originally at a disadvantage under the basket, occupied an advantage in a position, and swept the basketball to Li Feng's side with a sweep of his hand.

Li Feng received the ball, there was no one around, and he took a step back a little to get out of the three-point line, and Blair couldn't squeeze it out on the inside!

At this time, Li Feng realized this excellent opportunity to shoot three points, Li Feng paused, adjusted slightly, and then jumped straight up, shook his wrist slightly, and threw the basketball out.

This action is completely natural, there is no half-point hindrance at all, and the basketball is thrown.

Then I watched the basketball go through a beautiful arc and fall into the Spurs' basket with a swipe.

Li Feng hit a three-point shot!

As soon as Li Feng hit the ball, the Spurs' faces were ugly.

The Spurs pushed in again and called the basketball into Ginobili's hands, Ginobili took the ball and began to look for Duncan's cover, where Ginobili and Duncan were a very closely coordinated offensive duo.

Ginobili has a combination of sudden shots, and Duncan has both a pick-and-roll pull-and-pull and a follow-up attack to the basket.

The combination of these two people in blocking and dismantling is simply endless, and almost all the offensive changes after the blocking and dismantling can be evolved.

So the Knicks were very difficult to control the defense of this pair of blocking and pick-and-roll combinations, and this time Ginobili did not choose to dismantle it after bypassing Duncan, but suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket.

When he rushed to the basket, he made an Olajuwon-style feint to the left, which attracted the Knicks' interior defense, and he suddenly turned and threw it.

Ginobili's series of moves was a complete success, fooling everyone in the Knicks. But he himself was deceived by himself, he threw this throw so badly that he didn't even touch the basket and smashed it directly on the rebound.

Li Feng laughed at the rebound near the basket, turned and ran towards the Spurs halfcourt.

Li Feng ran so fast, and when Blair finally caught up, Li Feng had already run outside the Spurs' three-point line. At this position, Li Feng suddenly made a sudden stop and retreated, throwing Blair out of the position a little bit.

When Li Feng made this move, he originally just wanted to distance himself from Blair, but he stopped and retreated so quickly to throw Blair away.

One step in front of Blair. There was still a small half-step away from the three-point line, and Li Feng threw a three-pointer for no reason, without any support at all.

The basketball crossed Blair's fingertips, crossed the entire court, and fell neatly into the Nets, without even a wave of the Nets, and fell directly into the Spurs' basket.

Li Feng made another three-pointer, and this time he was excited. He beat his chest and howled.

But Li Feng's teammates, as well as Tyberdeau, saw that Li Feng shot another three-pointer, and suddenly turned from instant surprise to chest-beating laughter.

The Knicks laughed too wildly, laughed too weirdly. Their own players shot such a morale-boosting three-point shot, where are they still laughing, and suddenly the Spurs players, fans and commentators who don't know why think that the Knicks are really a bunch of crazy people.

Li Feng made two three-pointers in a row. The score has been tied and now the two teams are on the level of a draw again.

At this time, the Spurs came to attack again, and they also played more seriously. Duncan picked up the ball at the top of the arc to prepare for the first offense, but Cousins stuck up and immediately transferred the basketball to Leonard on the left.

When Leonard held the ball in his hand, Duncan quickly ran to the basket, Blair went to the waist position on the same side to cover Duncan, Leonard passed back to Ginobili, Duncan just used Blair's cover to return to the horn position, at this time Duncan Tongguò and Blair's cooperation, as well as fast running, finally got another vacancy.

Li Feng was defending Blair at this time, and there was nothing he could do in the face of Duncan, who was so much taller than him, but Duncan was not afraid of Li Feng's harassment at all, he raised his hand and floated high, and a two-point shot fell into the Knicks' basket cleanly. In key stages of the game, Duncan was still the Spurs' most stable scorer.

Since Li Feng hit two three-point shots just now, he really fell in love with the feeling of three-point shots.

Running to the Spurs' half again, Li Feng stood directly outside the Spurs' three-point line and wandered. Li Feng wandered out like this, Blair was a little hesitant, you said that now Li Feng has shot two three-pointers in a row, if he receives the ball again and wants to shoot a three-pointer, do I go out to defend or not?

The coach asked me to stick to the basket, but what should Li Feng do in this state! While Blair was struggling like Hamlet here, the damned Cousins threw the basketball into Li Feng's hands again.

Li Feng received the basketball, it was really like seeing a lover, and he raised his hand to shoot from three points away. In this case, Blair only had to gamble, he just stepped forward to harass it, did not completely pounce, and prayed in Blair's heart that this guy couldn't hit! This guy misses! This guy misses!

Madison Square Garden may have been too noisy for God to hear his prayers.

Li Feng's third three-pointer crossed Blair's fingertips, was as accurate as a guided missile, and crashed into the Spurs' basket again.

Three three-pointers in a row!

At this time, the Spurs fans who mixed in Madison Square Garden were silent, and the players stood on the court and couldn't take a step, and they stared at the boss with a pair of eyes in a daze, just like the supporting characters in a horror movie before they were killed by terrible monsters.

At this time, Popovich's heart was not afraid, but confused, and he kept asking himself such a question in his heart. Such a guy who can break through, can play low post, can cut in the air, and can now shoot three-pointers, how should he defend. Did Blair also lose his defensive advantage over Li Feng?

As a manager, his head is constantly running, looking for game strategy.

At the same time, Tyberdu stood up all of a sudden, and Li Feng made another three points, overtaking the Spurs by one point again, and at the same time, it also made the morale of the Knicks majestic again.

Seeing that the Knicks' morale has soared, the Spurs players are beginning to look a little silent, and Duncan is the first person on the team.

He knew it was time to shoot himself again, and when it came to the Knicks' half, he immediately went to the far waist to get a spot, and then prepared to single Cousins to pull back the score and also pull back the situation.

But after Li Feng's continuous three-point shots, the Knicks' morale improved, and Duncan was in the position. Li Feng on the Knicks' side, Li Feng immediately wrapped up with Duncan.

No matter how strong Duncan is, he can't play three, and he raised his hand to pass to Dio outside the three-point line, but Dior missed the three-point shot.

The Knicks seized the opportunity for a fast break, and Livingston made a quick push and scored two more points on a pull-up jumper. As a result, the Spurs did not get back the score, but allowed the Knicks to widen the gap to three points.

At this point, the Spurs hurriedly called a timeout, and they were ready to readjust their tactics. At this point in the game, the fourth quarter was already 6 minutes and 07 seconds, and the score of the two teams became 112-109. (To be continued......)
