Chapter 558: Suppressing the Halftime
Just when Li Feng was on the free throw line, Taberdog decided to add another force to exchange Cousins, who was good at attacking at low posts, on the court.
The Knicks increased their offensive firepower. Tiberdore wanted to fight the Mavericks in the second quarter and then directly took the victory.
The Mavericks naturally noticed the substitution of Tiberdore, and Carlisle hurried over and shouted again.
Amid Carlisle's roar, the Mavericks came up and played faster. Corrison quickly transferred the basketball to Nowitzki's hands for the first time.
Although Nowitzki never passes a thrilling ball, it has to be admitted that Nowitzki is indeed a master player who supports him at a high position.
Nowitzki took the ball and passed the ball to Bubova on the wing. Bubova was facing JR Smith at this time.
In this way, Bubowa wanted to take the opportunity to play one, but he only took the ball with one step. Li Feng rushed out of nowhere and blocked Bubowa on the sideline.
The Knicks blocked the people on the sideline again. At this time, Bubova was also young and was a little anxious to pass the ball.
As a result, once the ball was thrown out, Cousins, who had just played, snatched the basketball.
The Knicks completed the steal, and it was too late for the circus to retreat at this time. Cousins passed the ball to Livingston for a long time. Livingston rushed up like a fast horse. Livingston rushed up. The only one who could catch up with him, and only approached Livingston from behind, but Livingston passed the ball to Li Feng on the wing.
Li Feng took the ball and dribbled the ball in one step, and burst out from the wing. He fitted and smashed it towards the basket.
Under such circumstances, Collison could not defend, and Bubova who chased him could not let go, and no one in the Mavericks could not defend.
Li Feng hit the Mavericks' basket with a "bang!"
Li Feng ended the attack with an extremely happy dunk. The Mavericks were really anxious at this time! They were led by eight points again. If they continue to hit like this, the Mavericks will be finished.
So this time the Mavericks played, and the basketball was directly handed over to the Mavericks' pillar Nowitzki. Nowitzki now has advantages in both Jones and Cousins, so the Mavericks who are good at playing misplaced must first try to play the Mavericks.
After Nowitzki came up, he lived up to expectations and shook the ball left and right. He suddenly threw a shot.
Nowitzki finally scored and stabilized the situation for the team.
The Mavericks are indeed difficult to deal with. The Knicks just started, and the Mavericks immediately fought back steadily.
When Li Feng saw Nowitzki's counterattack, he really laughed all of a sudden. It was this time. If he defeated the Mavericks' confidence at this time, he would have won half of the game today.
After Nowitzki scored, Li Feng immediately asked Jones for the ball again. Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt and headed towards the Mavericks' half.
The Mavericks were ready to defend Li Feng and then slowly recovered the momentum of the game.
But at this time, Li Feng came over and called Jones to cover. Li Feng walked around Jones and pulled up in front of Kaman for no reason. He was a three-pointer.
Li Feng's three-pointer was like a cold arrow: "Brush!" and it hit the Mavericks' basket all at once.
Nowitzki only scored 2 points, and Li Feng immediately hit back with a three-pointer!
Once Li Feng made a three-pointer, the Knicks immediately fell into madness at home. Li Feng played too crazy in the second quarter, scoring repeatedly, and did not give the opponent any chance at all. The Mavericks were defeated step by step.
Li Feng was completely fucked and was completely unreasonable. The Mavericks wanted to take a breath and wanted to make some sense, but Li Feng didn't give it at all.
In this situation, the Mavericks could only grit their teeth and hold on. The Mavericks came over to play Nowitzki.
Nowitzki has now become the main scorer of the Mavericks, which is quite pressured for Nowitzki, but now Nowitzki is also trying his best.
He came up and beat Cousins again, but Cousins really couldn't stop Nowitzki. Nowitzki turned around and scored two more points.
Once Nowitzki scores here, Li Feng will go to the bottom line to get the ball again. This time Carter dares not let Li Feng get the ball. Carter went over and blocked Li Feng to death.
In this way, in order to play the rhythm, Jones threw the basketball into JR Smith's hands from a distance.
JR Smith also advanced quickly when he got the ball. Bubova came over and wanted to lean on JR Smith with his body, but when he was sticking to JR Smith, JR Smith dribbled the ball behind him to the side.
Roderick Boova then continued to chase, but at this time, after dribbling the ball behind JR Smith, he suddenly pulled the basketball back with one hand. At the same time, he dribbled the ball under his crotch. After dribbling the ball behind JR Smith could change direction under his crotch, which was still at high speed.
Bubowa was also a fast horse, but at this time Bubowa was still one step slower, just one step away.
JR Smith reached the Mavericks' three-point line. At this position, JR Smith pulled out a very fast three-pointer.
"Swish!"
Nowitzki scored 2 points desperately, and the Knicks made another three-pointer.
In this moment, Madison Square Garden really went crazy, and all the Knicks players also went crazy.
Li Feng also went over and punched JR Smith hard. JR Smith was so powerful. When everyone in the Mavericks were staring at Li Feng, JR Smith took a fatal blow to the opponent.
With just one blow, the Knicks' morale suddenly reached its highest point, and all the Mavericks' efforts were in vain.
The Knicks finally stood at the highest point, and their morale, luck, and competitive state all erupted.
At this time, the Mavericks were indeed in a trough. Although the Mavericks were relying on the spirit of the team, the Mavericks' hard support was just the last step.
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Mavericks by 10 points in one breath with 59-49. The Mavericks had a deliberate and unintentional result. Carlisle's face was as deep as water, and the entire Mavericks' spirit was also severely damaged.
During the intermission, the reporter came to interview Li Feng.
"Li Feng, you played very well in the first half today. What made you decide to start exerting strength in the first half."
"Because the Mavericks are a very strong team, I have to be in the form of the game at the beginning of the game so that I can guarantee a win."
Li Feng did not say too much extreme words about the interview, but the reporter immediately said:
"But if this continues, do you still have enough energy to play the following game in the second half?"
Hearing this question, Li Feng smiled and said:
"You should be confident about my physical strength. And I believe that my teammates will not waste all my physical strength."
When Li Feng said this, the reporter laughed.
For the Knicks local media, they naturally know that the Knicks' strength this year is indeed much stronger than last year, and even if Ross is injured, it will not affect him.
The Knicks played well in the first half, with Li Feng’s main attacker, JR Smith and Livingston assisting, and Jones supported him, and the team played very three-dimensionally.
In addition, Tiberdore also designed beautiful defensive tactics for the Knicks, who performed well on both offense and defense.
In this way, it is reasonable that the Mavericks lost 10 points in the first half.
After losing the first half, Carlisle immediately yelled at his player as soon as he returned to the locker room.
"Damn it! Today we didn't play our rhythm at all, there was no one at all. You were washed away by a group of children on the offensive end and had no dignity at all. You didn't use your brain at all on the defensive end. We have to use your brain to defend!"
Carlisle is angrily scolding his players, angrily calling them unhappy and unwitting.
"We have been preparing for how long we have practiced before the game. But on the court, we are completely unable to play, which is what makes me sad the most. A player is working hard but unable to show on the court. What is this? This is cowardice, **... naked cowardice."
Carlisle re-arranged the team's tactics after scolding his players in the locker room.
Unlike the Mavericks, a group of people on the Knicks returned to the locker room. Tiberdore said almost nothing, his attitude, his tactics, and his Mavericks, but let his players handle the game on the court.
This is also the different styles of Carlisle and Tiberdeau! Carlisle is an academic school who studied with Larry Brown, and the command team must be like Go, and all follow tactics.
But Taberdeau is self-taught and attaches great importance to the use of young players. He also likes players to play freely. He is a player himself, so he attaches great importance to this.
However, regardless of the details, Li Feng did find several main players in the locker room.
"Hey! Guys, the Mavericks really want to beat us today. They put a trap in the first half, but they didn't do anything to us! I think they will definitely play harder in the second half. They can only be cruel to deal with old football skin like the Mavericks, and we are even harder than them! So in the second half, we are going to fight hard at the beginning and beat them at once, otherwise it would be a good idea to get involved with the Mavericks."
"Um!"
"Yes, yes, even that's it!"
Li Feng's opinion was recognized by everyone. Not only did they agree with Li Feng's statement, but they also discussed how they cooperated with each other.
Players discuss tactics and cooperation with each other, which is definitely much more tacit understanding than the coach's arrangement.
Chapter completed!
