Chapter 126 Fighting the Iron Army Alone
Chapter 126 Fighting the Iron Army alone
Li Feng is the core player of the team, especially now, his only powerful teammate Al Harrington is not there, and almost all the Knicks players pass the ball to Li Feng's hands after getting the ball.
However, Li Feng's solo trip to Longtan at the last moment of the first quarter played a role in alerting the enemy. The Jazz's players' defense against Li Feng was more strict and rough, and Li Feng never had the chance to enter the paint area again.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter, and the score gap on the field was still about ten.
The Jazz have a considerable lead. Sloan on the coach's bench let go of half of his heart. In his opinion, his tactical arrangements have achieved most of the success, and he only needs to hold on to a few more minutes to win the game before he gets it. This year's Jazz may be Sloan's last chance.
The Knicks' offense was initiated entirely by Li Feng alone, and the role of others was minimal. Only Gallinari could restrain a Jazz's defensive player.
The Jazz's defensive system is indeed perfect. CJ Myers was replaced by Russian Kirirenko at this time. Kirirenko and Brewer's wheel defense can greatly limit Li Feng's performance.
However, Kirirenko's body is stronger than Miles, but it is far inferior to Li Feng, and his jumping and explosive power are not as good as Li Feng. When Eddie Cory scored the basketball after he was in the inside, Li Feng suddenly got rid of Kirirenko's entanglement and jumped high in the crowd like a spring. A volleyball smashing action pushed the basketball into the basket, while Jazz's power forward Boozer could only surrender with both hands.
It took less than a second from Corey's pass to Li Feng's dunk. The ball was only two points, but the effect was astonishing as if it was a shocking one.
All the players and all the fans were stunned by Li Feng's dry-land scoring goal.
Wow! All the fans stood up! Wow! Jazz fans also stood up! The difference is that the Knicks fans were excited, while Jazz fans were shocked.
"This goal is like a dry field nourished by rain. The Jazz's defense is powerful, but it still can't prevent Tyrannosaurus Rex. Jazz is careful, Tyrannosaurus Rex is in the stadium!"
The almost desperate D'Antoni seemed to be stimulated by Li Feng's attack. He jumped up suddenly. D'Antoni was almost happy to cry. How much he needed to win now.
Jazz's head coach Sloan also felt a lot of trouble in his heart. This rookie can't be described as a rookie. Is the Jazz's defense very poor?
Of course not. The Jazz's defense is among the best in the league. Although Kirilenko is no longer the Jazz boss of the past, his defensive skills are still there, and he cannot stop Li Feng from scoring.
As the dawn of victory was about to be seen, the Jazz suddenly became a little discouraged, and the Knicks took the opportunity to strengthen their defense and created three fast break opportunities. In a few rounds, the Jazz's lead was only 4 points.
Sloan did not stubbornly wait for the Jazz to be overtaken by the Knicks before reacting and immediately called a timeout.
Since the defense cannot limit Li Feng at this time, it cannot rely entirely on defense. Anyway, the Knicks' defense is worse. At this time, Sloan adjusted the position of the personnel on the field. Carlos Boozer was placed on the bench and replaced with "Mi God" Paul Millsap, a more active defensive guy.
The Jazz's attack power was very sharp and he really fought. Although D'Antoni also raised the defense slightly at this time, he was still sieve by the opponent's madness. In the last few minutes of the game, it suddenly became intense and exciting.
The offense and defense pace of both sides was very fast, and the fans were all shouting, and the home team and the away team were cheering for their team.
The Knicks are equally patient in defense. They are not afraid of Jazz's attack, but they are afraid of the Jazz's not attacking desperately. As long as the Jazz's rhythm speed increases, Li Feng's speed and passes are deadly weapons in the counterattack. In just a blink of an eye, the opponent may die under the Knicks' counterattack.
Small ball tactics are sometimes so sharp!
Li Feng made the Jazz suffer all the hardships by himself. Although Kirilianko and Millsap returned to the paint area to defend, every charge from Gallinari and Hughes could almost accelerate the Jazz fans' hearts once.
The intense heart activity made Sloan feel a little insufficient blood supply to his brain. He originally thought that no matter how strong the Knicks' offense was, without Harrington, it would never be as smooth as before. However, the Knicks' No. 0 pass was like a gorgeous version of Stockton.
Every seemingly random pass can accurately pass to the most comfortable place for his teammates. Sloan is also a player, so he can't think of how a person's pass can be so accurate. It simply means wherever he plays. With such a pass, the power of the forward will not only double, but will at least double and triple when counterattacking.
But Sloan could only hold on. He had been holding on for so many years, and his heart had long become iron.
Although the Jazz's defense was difficult to defend the Knicks, they could barely support it. However, Li Feng suddenly changed direction and passed it to Corey, who was inside. The Jazz's defense finally couldn't support it. Their two-pointer on the outside were aimed at Hughes and the Knicks, and Corey had enough room to play Oku one-on-one.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Corey who was holding the ball. This fat man was even more miraculous than Randolph this season. D'Antoni was just unavailable, but he seized the opportunity and exploded his average combat power of 20 points per game that year.
He performed well in the past few times, but with the opponent's focus on him, he has not performed well in recent games. This is also one of the reasons for the ups and downs of the Knicks. Can the Knicks trust him today?
Corey is indeed very fat, but his speed is not as slow as people imagine, and his skills are not as rough as brother-in-law. He used his physical explosive power to force Oku to eat. Oku chose the first one without hesitation between foul and loss of points. He hugged Corey directly. Although he did not completely hug Corey, it destroyed Corey's physical balance. Corey staggered two steps and fell into the paint area. Deron Williams, who ran to the basket, held the ball in his arms.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to referee Ferdinand. His call today was a bit off. How would he call this ball?
Ferdinand ran over from the center circle and started his clumsy performance. He actually made an offensive foul. All the Knicks fans waved their arms angrily and shouted loudly. D'Antoni jumped up. Even if he was sent out, he would point at Ferdinand's scalp and ask him if he remembered the basketball rules clearly, but at this time, the cunning Ferdinand adjusted the video replay just now.
The big screen on the scene also played back the words just now. This ball is a strong attack, and physical confrontation is inevitable. When Cory exerted his strength, Oku happened to stand on the edge of the reasonable collision zone. Of course, Oku had not yet stood firm before Cory exerted his strength. It can be said that the referee of this ball has freedom, and there is also a reason to judge the Knicks to make an offensive foul. The whole game fell into silence. D'Antoni's mouth opened, and he had only time to curse half of the words. The Knicks fans also sat down, and only a few extreme fans started to curse.
