Chapter 175: Corey's Transformation
After James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt alone, he swam across the outside and observed his teammates' running position. He leaned forward and hit the basketball with one hand to Mo Williams, who was slipping back to the weak wing. Du Hong, who was defending him, was slightly blocked again. The guy caught the ball and shot, and hit it with a swish.**(..)
The Knicks continue to pick-and-roll!
Facing the old shark in dislocation, Li Feng suddenly dribbled across the ball and changed direction and pulled O'Neal to the top of the outside arc, and dribbled... and dribbled away, and suddenly changed direction again, and accelerated and rushed through the shark's defense line.
The teammates opened up enough midfield for him at this moment. Corey and Harden both pulled to both sides of the basket. James, who was forced to misplace the defense, hesitated for a moment and made up for it.
With a bang, the basketball happened to be passed to James's feet and reached the back of his side. The guy instinctively tried to stretch his feet to play the ball, but unfortunately he kicked it for nothing. He turned around and defended without a sudden. He heard a bang from behind him. Corey took the ball and took a step forward and took a one-arm dunk, and there was a smile on his face with a relaxed smile.
...
Mo Williams also made a pick-and-roll from the outside, bypassing Jamison, and just pulled Harden's defense away. The latter's defense was a little far behind at this moment and he seized the opportunity. He shot the basketball with a whoosh and returned the color of the three-pointer.
"This guy is the best use of the Knight!"
Li Feng was just slightly blocked for a moment, and bypassed the wall, he could only watch Mo Williams make a strong three-pointer on Harden's head. The guy immediately retreated after shooting the basketball.
There was no slight fluctuation on his face during the whole process. The word "big heart" was really suitable for him.
This made Li Feng sigh helplessly. It was said that the Bucks were the substitute for TJ Ford at the beginning, and then squeezed Ford away and won a big contract, but it has always been called a tactical poison. However, this year, the turnaround appeared. He came to the Cavaliers. The organization was actually controlled by LeBron James. He was only responsible for shooting and dribbling for half the game, but this style of play actually made the All-Star lineup.
"There are no trash players, only trash coaches!"
Li Feng received the ball from the outside and glanced at Mo Bu's pass.
"Then, let me give you the best way to respect you!"
Papa... Li Feng's speed suddenly increased, and he accelerated slightly. James, who was carrying close to him, approached the three-point line.
Emergency stop.
The lob ball raised his hand and gave Corey, who was in the left wing position in the three-second zone, quickly ran without the ball and rushed towards the weak high position.
All the Knicks team members immediately moved. Cory carried O'Neal halfway over the side in the inside and looked like a strong attacking posture. Thornton on the strong side lifted up, and Du Hong on the weak side took Mo Williams to slip through the bottom line and went outside the three-point line on the strong side, while Harden continued to stay at the high position on the weak side to make a pick-and-roll for Li Feng to run without the ball.
With a snap, Corey began to dribble and carry O'Neal to squeeze into the basket, showing a strong offensive momentum.
At the same time, Li Feng also rushed to Harden, feeling that James was rushing around Harden to chase the ground. He changed direction and rushed to the bottom line with a whoosh. The basketball flew straight from Corey's hand, stopped quickly, received the ball, raised his hand and flicked over James who was pursuing tightly behind him, and jumped up with a slight tilt in the shot. His movement was done in one go, without any stagnation, and Jamison, who was in the defense, made two points on his head. {http:

...
The two teams chose to bloom at multiple points. The difference is that the Cavaliers' offensive is more concentrated in the hands of outside players. Mo Williams and Anthony Parker repeatedly broke through the Knicks' defense; while the Knicks are combining inside and outside, and blooming in full. Although Li Feng and Cory have been closely guarded by their opponents, their connection and echo in the inside and outside are not strangled, and their outstanding personal abilities are also given many opportunities for open positions.
Both sides played their own characteristics in the first quarter, and the scores were intertwined. This was not unexpected at all. The Cavaliers were still playing slowly. D'Antoni thought that James would not be able to score without scoring the Cavaliers. After all, the Knicks' defense can only be considered first-class in running and playing, not first-class in the league...
...
Until more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the score on the field was still tied 25.
Mo Williams received the ball from the outside, made two strong steps, and made a quick jump shot. Under the interference of Du Hong's pursuit, the basketball missed the basket. Du Hong's defense may not be as famous as James.
But no one dares to underestimate his abilities.
Harden stood in position to resist Jamison, jumped up and grabbed the rebound and handed it to Li Feng.
When he reached the frontcourt, Li Feng handed the ball directly to Corey, who was at the low post at the basket. The latter stood at the position this time and tried to fight back after receiving the ball. O'Neal did not give in at all. The two of them had no advantage in the whole first quarter. Shaq basically did not score, but Corey was unable to score.
Li Feng was swimming on the outside while always paying attention to the movements under the basket.
He was very tall at Cory and couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Eddie, Shaq is old. You used to be called the little shark. Now the little shark is Bynum, you will have a gorgeous return!"
Corey was observing the running position of his teammates on the field from the corner of his eyes on the left side of the basket. Of course, he also saw Li Feng swimming back and forth on the outside, but the latter's running posture did not seem to have any intention of receiving the ball.
When the two of them had their eyes met in the air, he seemed to invisibly feel Li Feng's encouragement and confidence in him.
"I trust you!"
Cory has always focused more energy on supporting Li Feng and his teammates in the first quarter. There has not been a real strong attack yet. Seeing Li Feng hitting the opponent's defense in the first quarter, and seeing Li Feng's deep expectations for him in his eyes, the blood of the strong man flowing in his body began to boil. His deep expectations for the future made him yearn for stronger confrontation, "Betting in the name of my Eddie Cory. Let tonight be a start!"
The other teammates saw the clues of Corey's upcoming attack and immediately opened up the space for him to play singles at a low post.
With a snap.
As soon as Cory turned around, he felt that O'Neal's equally strong body behind him was tighter. He hit his opponent sideways and felt like a stone pillar. The defensive position was still motionless, and the power competition ended again without fail, but he was not only an inside line, otherwise he would not be able to average 20 points per game in a single season.
Holding the ball to the left, just as O'Neal stepped on the side, Corey dribbled the ball and turned right, hit O'Neal again, and a trace of shooting space came out. He took a step back and stepped on the paint sideline and directly raised the ball and jumped the ball and hit it with a swish.
flute!
The referee's whistle also sounded. O'Neal was still slower when defending and snatching the blocking hand. He raised his hand and hit Corey in the forearm.
Oh oh oh... the entire Quick Loan Center was stunned. Eddie Cory, a parallel product, could actually make Shaq and 1.
"Eddie, good job!"
Li Feng rushed forward and bumped into Corey's chest. The two hugged each other hard. The latter's face was quite arrogant at the moment. The performance just now was the real Corey in his mind.
"Eddie has also begun to show off his strength. This seems to be his first strong attack in this game. Although Shaq put a lot of pressure on him, this time the straightforward and neat mid-range shot proves that he still has talent. At this time, perhaps Mike and his team should think about how to play LeBron's strength?"
The live ball review shouted enthusiastically.
This playoff premiere will never lack exciting scenes. This kind of stunning competition against Mai Mang is something he and most people who like basketball are happy to see.
Cavaliers head coach Brown stood up and signaled Mo Williams to call a timeout. After some arrangement, both sides changed into a half-substitute lineup, and still stayed on the court after Cory made a free throw.
The Knicks once again got a three-point lead.
Gibson broke through veteran Jaric and passed the ball to Delunt West near the baseline. The latter was a little careless when he received the ball and was about to break through. Matthews snatched the basketball away with a snap. This time, Ibaka, who was on the center position, completed the attack with a small hook under the basket.
...
Bang!
Matthews missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the ball bounced straight into the air, causing chaos in the basket.
Swish! A black hand suddenly popped up and stabbed the basketball. Harrington narrowed the gap in the two-point range and ended the first quarter.
35 to 33. The Cavaliers actually fell behind by two points!
...
After the game substitute time, West scored a three-pointer in the mid-range shot and overtook the score, and their defense began to increase intensity.
After West made another three-pointer, the Cavaliers were almost widening the gap to double digits.
Ibaka once again missed the strong attack at the basket, turned around and tried to shoot from the outside again. The basketball smashed the basket and recovered the weak side to the edge of the three-second zone, Harrington jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
"Quick attack!"
The game passed little by little. Harrington was silent all the time.
But this does not mean that he was surrendered. Although the starting lineup has been snatched away by Harden, the situation where the team is lagging behind needs to be reversed at this time, at least he cannot be further widened.
"Come!"
In the fast break, he confronted Hickson, dribbled with a snap, stopped and stopped, dribbled back and forth twice under his crotch. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Matthews who was following the three-point line in the middle, and suddenly raised the ball and forced Hickson to pounce on him to interfere with his pass.
Whoosh!
Harrington held the ball in both hands and forced himself to Hickson's waving arm, jumped up and threw out the basketball in his hand.
Bang! Swish! The basketball just flew out.
Harrington felt the verge of being so good, but he heard the referee's whistle and music. But the next moment, the basketball actually hit the rebound and bounced over the net bag.
"ah?……"
At this moment, the players on both sides of the court were shocked and spoke in different ways. The difference was that the Knicks players ran around Harrington happily, while Hickson and his teammates sighed half helplessly and half disdainfully: "Don't be lucky!"
Neither side rewritten the score in the last few minutes. The Cavaliers overtook six points and entered the halftime break, but the situation is far from the stage of deciding the winner. Everyone is looking forward to the second half of the game, and more Cavaliers supporters are looking forward to the team completely breaking the Knicks' entanglement in the third quarter...
After the adjustment of the half-time break, the second half of the game was a bit unexpected. Corey embarrassed O'Neal from the beginning. He received a straight pass from Li Feng from the outside and turned around and cut to a dunk at the basket. This not only caused the latter's foul, but also kicked off the Knicks' counterattack.
"Eddie, the third quarter game is mostly in the inside, so I will be your backing!"
After landing, Corey rushed to the camera near the bottom line and roared angrily, turning back to Li Feng and smiling meaningfully. He remembered what Li Feng whispered to him before walking out of the locker room.
Not only did the Cavaliers strengthen their defense, but the Knicks did the same. Their man-to-man defense almost successfully spent the offensive time. At the last moment, Mo Williams broke through and passed the ball. After receiving the ball, James adjusted his mid-range shot and missed it.
Li Feng turned around and stepped forward to grab the rebound that bounced back to the free throw line. He turned around and rushed to the frontcourt, and once again hung up to Cory to attack. This time, the latter passed the ball to Harden on the weak wing after attracting Jamison double-team, and the latter made a mid-range shot.
With the lament of Cavaliers supporters, the third quarter gradually came to an end. Not only did the Knicks not be thrown away as they imagined, but they also entangled the Cavaliers through the successive display of insiders Corey and Harden.
Harden received the ball in an open position again. James was hesitating whether to make up for defense, but the basketball passed to the basket. Matthews, who came on the bench, then pushed the basketball to the outside. He took advantage of James's defense for a moment of hesitation. Li Feng suddenly changed direction and rushed to the weak wing, received the ball and made a three-pointer. Then, after Mo Williams made a layup, Li Feng also rushed to the basket and returned a layup.
"It is indeed very simple to defend, but it is not that easy to do well. This not only depends on the level of personal defensive ability, but also the overall containment of the opponent!"
After Mike Brown called a timeout, Li Feng looked at James, who was quite depressed on his face and walked back to the bench slowly. In the first three quarters, the two teams tied.
He glanced at the scoreboard and said, 83 to 86, the results of the game still have to wait until the last quarter to be announced. (To be continued...)
