Chapter 397 My heart will live forever
(Modified below)
Livingston dribbled through the ball and made a layup blocked by Sir. Cory picked up the ball and killed himself in the second half. Li Feng was blocked by Thompson and had no way to chase Cory. He could only watch Cory and JR Smith run to the frontcourt.
JR Smith's speed is no less than Corey who has the ball in hand, but his defense is not good. Corey took three steps on the free throw line. He slowed down slightly at the last step and waited for JR Smith to make a layup with JR Smith when he took off.
If it was an old player, then he would definitely pull Cory down at this time. This was obviously a blocking foul. However, Smith, JR, was not strong in defense. He just opened his hand and said that he had no action.
Corey smiled slightly and sent the ball into the ring, 2+1, and the referee's whistle was blown.
JR Smith rushed up and explained:
"Sir, I didn't move at all. He bumped into it himself. This is not a foul..."
Li Feng went up to block JR Smith's body, and saw that the latter was trying to explain, he smiled bitterly:
"jr, forget about this ball, the referee's penalty is right. After the game, let Derek tell you how to deal with such an attack."
Hearing Li Feng say this, Smith had to give up.
Cory sent the ball in and backed back to halftime and blinked at JR Smith and said:
"jr, you don't know how to play ball with your brain!"
As he said that, he smiled and pointed his finger at his head.
Li Feng passed the ball to Monroe.
The latter tried to move backwards, and Sqiang pushed him without moving at all. Monroe turned his body and felt that there was no chance to pass the ball to JR Smith again.
He cannot break into the inside to attack, because Ibaka and Chandler are both in the penalty area, and Chandler can double-team himself at will, so that once he rushes into the penalty area, it is likely to cause a dead ball.
This is why Taberdog dares not use Ibaka at will. Perhaps Ibaka's defense is comparable to Monroe, but his offensive ability is limited. He cannot pull the opponent's inside players out at all, even if he goes out of the inside, the opponent is not worried. Anyway, his ability to shoot mid-range shots is almost nothing.
This is not a problem of one less offensive firepower, but two less people, and Monroe will be double-teamed by the opponent's inside players.
It is precisely for this reason that Taberdog gave Li Feng unlimited fire in the third quarter.
JR Smith wanted to break through Ellis with the ball, but not only did he not break in, but was almost intercepted by Ellis. In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Li Feng.
There was not much time at this time, and Li Feng took the ball and shot. Thompson also followed while he jumped. His elbow hit Li Feng's rib bone, and Li Feng's attack was a little unstable. A ball that was almost certain to pop out of the ring.
Sir S grabbed the rebound and handed it to Corey, signaling him to take his time and not to play fast breaks.
Cory took the ball through half the court, and with a cover from Sir, he rushed into the inside and took off and threw. Monroe followed and wanted to block him, but this was just a fake move by Corry.
Without even looking back, Corey passed the ball to S. S. who was following him with a feeling. S. S. scored on the mid-range shot.
The Warriors played well in several consecutive attacks. With the team's joint efforts of Sir and Cory, the team began to launch a counterattack, but Li Feng did not allow them to counterattack easily.
Li Feng broke into the inside and passed the ball to JR Smith, who followed up and jumped from the baseline to make a dunk. Chandler was stuck by Ibaka, while S and Monroe were both on the other side, so his dunk was freehand and easy.
Ellis broke through Li Feng with the left hand and scored a layup. Li Feng immediately returned with a long shot. Sir S received Chandler's pass to score. Monroe dunked over Sir S with his footsteps; Cory tricked Livingston into the penalty area and was blocked by Li Feng. JR Smith and Livingston cooperated with the fast break and made a layup. Ibaka missed the layup in the next attack. Chandler grabbed the rebound, Cory made a quick break, and Stephen Cory played the core of the Warriors.
When they reached the back end of the third quarter, the two sides started to get anxious. When the score was 7876 at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks gained a slight advantage.
The decisive game stayed in the fourth quarter. Tiberdore waved his hand and Harden replaced Li Feng on the field. James Harden was a sharp knife from the Knicks' outside, sharper than JR Smith.
Ellis held back Harden's waist.
Harden grinned behind him after holding the ball, and pushed his big ass. Ellis staggered back two steps. Harden turned around and rushed into the basket and threw the ball into the ring. Although Ellis was following him closely, he had no chance to block him.
The two teams played hard in the first three quarters, and neither team had any end. In this way, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, both teams were sent as substitutes, the Warriors left Ellis on the court, and the Knicks sent Harden, who had been resting for the whole quarter.
Thompson patted Ellis on the shoulder and signaled to change defense. He shook his head and said:
"Monta, I'll defend this guy, just concentrate on the offense!"
Alice's defense has not improved much in playing with the Warriors for many years, but his defensive pace has improved a lot over the years. When he first entered the league, he liked gambling defense, but the defense effect was not very good. Later, he gradually changed this defensive habit. His close-fits-all defense is not bad now.
Although Ellis' defensive level has improved a lot now, he only performed well against counterparts with average physical conditions. When he was against the high and large outside line, his performance was not good.
But unfortunately, Harden is not only tall, but also has great strength. This is Ellis' most troublesome defensive player.
Seeing Thompson coming to ask for a change of defense, Ellis nodded. He could not defend against Harden, who was like a beast.
Ellis slapped the ball and walked on the three-point line. Harden slowly followed his steps. When Harden was not falling, Ellis suddenly leaned down to the right, then his body stopped, exerted force with his right foot, and dribbled the ball and turned to the left.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have been deceived by Ellis's one and a half, but who is defending him now? That is, many experts predict that Harden, who may become one of the three big Knicks.
Currently, Li Feng and Ross are two giants, Cousins and Monroe are not counted, but Cousins and Monroe are both All-Stars, and many experts are more optimistic about Harden, which can prove Harden's potential and strength.
Harden stuck Ellis's back midfield with his big hand, and his legs were squatting and locking Ellis tightly. To outsiders, this guy was hugging Ellis. Although Ellis had excellent breakthrough skills, he had no chance to perform.
Thompson and substitute Rush went up to meet at the same time. JR Smith followed Rush firmly and did not give him a chance to catch the ball. As soon as Thompson caught the ball, Killerianko followed up on the bench.
The basketball slapped Thompson's right hand and rushed towards Kirirenko's body. Kirirenko stepped across and blocked Thompson.
Facing Kirirenko, who was strong and not slower than himself, Thompson did not have any good offensive methods, so he had to pass the ball back to Ellis.
Ellis was about to reach out to catch the ball, but before that, a big black hand slapped the ball, Harden who had been following Ellis.
As soon as the basketball was slapped off, JR Smith quickly rushed over and hugged the ball in his arms. He grabbed the ball and threw it to Kirirenko. Kirirenko passed it to Harden. The latter slapped the ball and rushed out of the frontcourt like a heavy tank. Of course Ellis could keep up with Harden, but facing Harden with his muscles, he could not stop his attack at all.
Harden hit Ellis hard with his elbow. The latter gritted his teeth and chased after him, but this was useless. Harden rushed into the penalty area as fast as possible and jumped directly. Ellis cruelly grabbed Harden's shoulder.
"roar!"
He roared. Harden, who had been locked on the bench for a whole section, turned into a beast. His muscles were tight and his big feet stomped on the floor. He jumped up with Ellis.
After he took off, he realized that Ellis, who looked thin, was so heavy. Harden felt like he was carrying a 100-kilogram barbell and laying it on the layup. But he didn't care. He gritted his teeth, held the ball with his right hand, and smashed it hard towards the ring.
"roar!"
After landing, Harden pushed away Ellis who was pressing behind him. He roared hard at the fans around him. The violent aura on his body made people frightened.
"here you go!"
Li Feng and all the players on the bench stood up at the same time. The fans of the court made a tsunami-like cry. Harden's iron-blooded dunk made their blood rush. His dunk was not ethereal, no stagnant, no stretching, only strength, just tyranny, just bloody. Such a dunk is the dunk that best stimulates men to release adrenaline!
Ellis landed with a wry smile. He raised his right hand and said that he had indeed blocked the foul. The foul was too obvious. Even people who don’t understand basketball knew what he did.
Harden calmly sent the ball into the ring and showed a bloodthirsty grin at the Warriors players.
"Children, men's competition is about to begin. I hope you can leave here alive!"
This dunk severely hit the morale of Warriors players, while the Knicks were excited, and even Ibaka began to forcefully get a ball.
Relying on Harden's encouragement, the Knicks players made a tough attack. Although Ellis made several goals with his own breakthrough, he could not stop the entire Knicks from attacking wildly. Facing Ibaka, Harden and other young people, the Warriors players were helpless. These two guys didn't use any skills at all. After getting the ball, they squeezed in and then dunked hard.
Seeing the bearded Harden playing with a group of substitutes, Taberdog frowned happily. He gently stroked his chin's beard and began to think about whether he should put this guy on the bench.
With Li Feng as the starting lineup, Harden's offensive ability was greatly weakened. He didn't have much chance of making mobile phones on the offensive end, and could only exert his strength on the defensive end. But if he became a substitute, he would become the core of the outside line indisputably, so that he could play his greatest role, and he could effectively participate in both offense and defense.
However, Harden's contract expires this summer. If he sits on the bench, perhaps Harden will not renew his contract with the Knicks... Promotion, JR Smith and others know that once the main players are resting, they will have to end up, so now they have a chance to perform. A group of people launched an attack with all their lives. In just four minutes, the Knicks' substitutes teamed up to play a group of 148**, further increasing the score to 9284.
Mark Jackson called a timeout helplessly, and he could only send out the main players such as Sir Si in advance. Now his vision of the Knicks and the deal can only be described in admiration. He got Li Feng from the Grizzlies' trade. The price he paid at that time was very large and many people were not optimistic about it. Even if Li Feng had already shown unstoppable potential at that time, not only Li Feng, but also Harden, Cousins and Monroe, etc., even Parsons in the second round showed strong potential, which made Mark Jackson envious.
Sir, Cory, and Ellis appeared together, Li Feng, Ross and Harden followed closely. The two teams' strongest three-core cores began to collide.
Cory received a pass from Xiao S. The one who defended him was Li Feng. Harden and Ellis were entangled. Facing Harden, who was like a beast, Ellis had a headache. He was defended by Harden and even had no chance to catch the ball.
And he is a player who needs to hold the ball in hand to show his combat effectiveness. If he doesn't have the chance to catch the ball, he is not the "Mississippi bullet" that the entire league is afraid of.
"Fron, it seems that I'm not right for you to defend."
Corey smiled. His shoulders swayed quickly, and the basketball jumped in his hands like a butterfly. Corey's eyes scanned behind Li Feng, as if looking for a path to break through. And as if looking for the direction of the pass.
Li Feng didn't say much, as long as he could guard against this ball, wouldn't it be enough?
Corey shook her right shoulder forward, controlled the ball with her right hand and cut it from Li Feng's left side. Li Feng couldn't react. She felt that the flower in front of her was already parallel to him.
"roll!"
Li Feng roared, pulled his left leg back quickly back, and stretched out his left arm to block Corey's body. As soon as Li Feng's arm touched Corey's shoulder, Corey slapped the ball to the ground with his hand, and pressed his waist and abdomen, and suddenly turned back and turned around. He still controlled the ball with his right hand. Corey turned around and pulled it out, and rushed into the inside with the ball.
Monroe did not go up to make up for defense, because while Corey turned around, Li Feng adjusted his steps and chased after him.
Stepping into the penalty area, Corey jumped from the bottom line and flew towards the ring.
"Stephen, you're looking for death!"
Li Feng roared angrily and followed Corey to chase him.
Cory jumped in the air and pulled out, then quickly thrust his waist and then jumped up again. In the air, he handed the ball to his left hand with his right hand, and with his wrist, he hooked his hand to hit the ball through the board.
"I said you can't defend me, I want to win the championship."
After landing, Cory turned around and smiled. Li Feng glanced at him calmly, and then said seriously:
"No, the best rookie of that year was me, you, for example, me!"
Li Feng served Ross and then quickly rushed through the half. Thompson followed him closely without giving him a chance to open up the gap.
Ross pushed Cory into the inside, but he turned around and didn't notice. Ellis rushed from the side and threw the ball in his hand. Cory picked up the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. Li Feng was blocked by Thompson. By the time he bypassed Thompson's body, Corry had already rushed into the penalty area to score.
9288, the Knicks' leading score became 4 points.
This time, Ross immediately handed the ball to Cousins, who was inside, who passed the ball to Li Feng who was in reverse. Li Feng threw the ball directly into the layup circle. Only when he raised his hand, Chandler returned to the defense. In order to prevent being exposed, Li Feng used some strength.
The basketball's shooting height was a bit too high, so the basketball jumped on the ring twice, rolled slightly on the ring, and fell down from the left side of the ring's neck.
Chandler stuck Cousinsca and gave Sir a chance to grab rebounds. He already knew that he had no chance on rebounds in the face of Cousins.
Just as Sir Little broke free from Monroe and was about to jump up, he suddenly heard an angry shout, and a black figure jumped up. Before everyone could react, the man caught the basketball that had just fallen from the ring. Without any fancy moves, the man kicked the ball with both hands and smashed it hard towards the basket.
James Harden, this guy showed his strong offensive ability to the Warriors.
"We have five people. Do you think you stuck DeMarcus' rebound is yours? Tyson, have you forgotten my old friend?"
After Harden stabilized his body, he immediately turned around and said to Chandler who was still stuck in Cousins. Chandler smiled bitterly. In fact, he really forgot about this beast. He forgot that he was the toughest inside player in the entire league back then.
Cory then passed the ball to Xiao Si. Xiao Si beat Monroe with his back and turned around and hooked his hand and was blocked by Monroe. Ross picked up the ball and launched a fast attack. Li Feng rushed into the inside from the left wing. Ross threw the ball directly onto the ring. Li Feng jumped high and received the ball and staged an air relay.
Bang!
When Li Feng smashed the basketball into the basket, the entire basketball stand trembled, as if it was about to be depressed!
In the subsequent game, Li Feng's offense continued. Facing the Warriors' double-team, he forcibly broke through the inside line and slashed with one-arm, and Tyson Chandler was unable to stop it!
Li Feng's goal continued, he took over the game, and Stephen Cory scored continuously on the Warriors, and the two continued to score. But in the end, the Knicks laughed the last. When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the score was 117,112. The Knicks defeated the Golden State Warriors with 5 points to end the bloody battle, winning two consecutive home games, turning the big score into 20.
"51 points, Li Feng scored another 51 points today. This is a terrifying number. Let's cheer for him. The world's number one forward, the unique Tyrannosaurus Rex, the unique ferocious beast forward... The pride of the New Yorkers, Madison's patron saint, our ferocious beast forward... Li Feng..."
