After the game, major media also reported on the game in detail.
“20+13+12+9+8”
The New York Times directly used such a unique title to describe Li Feng, who played a quasi-five pair in this game.
"This is not a mathematical calculation problem. In fact, a series of numbers are Li Feng's results in the game with the Clippers. In this strong dialogue, Li Feng was almost omnipotent. He frozen Blake Griffin, who was one of the top of him in the draft in the defensive end. At the same time, he blocked Caron Butler with Kirilianko, helping the New York Knicks win, and also helped the Knicks' winning streak to 16 games, stabilizing the league's first place."
"Quick five pairs, Li Feng can do everything"
As a local media in New York, the New York Sports Daily naturally will not miss the opportunity to praise Li Feng.
"The strong attack dunk at the basket, the pass behind the fast break, the defense chases the big hat, directly cut off the opponent's dribble, and the inside competes for rebounds. Li Feng is active throughout the game. In fact, if Li Feng pays a little attention to his data, it is not impossible to have a five-double, and a four-double is even more accessible. I believe that soon, the Knicks's single-player record holders have become Edison's name. Li Feng's title of "Record Terminator" is absolutely undisputed," he said.
"Sixteen consecutive victories swept the league, and the league entered the New York era"
The New York Post analyzed the game from the perspective of the entire league.
"The Knicks defeated the Clippers is a result that many people expected before the game, and it is not worth being surprised. This result may not represent the real strength gap between the Knicks and the Clippers, but it reminds the league's strongest team that a team that swept everything and made the entire league tremble. Judging from many factors, the current strength of the New York Knicks team has reached the Bulls of the Jordan era. Who can shake the Knicks' league dominance in the future?"
"Leonard Li Feng won the No. 1 pick Griffin, and the Knicks remained unbeaten"
The Washington Post analyzed the game from the unbeaten record.
"Before the game, the dialogue between the Knicks and the Clippers, who had won 15 consecutive victories, was the focus of attention of the media and fans. People have speculated that the Clippers can end the Knicks' winning streak since the start of the game. The Knicks have not lost this season and have not tasted the taste of failure. If they can keep this record for one month, the record of 33 consecutive victories will be gone."
"The Knicks are coming"
Memphis's "Memphis City" used this title to remind the Memphis Grizzlies who were about to play against the Knicks.
"The Grizzlies are also a young team that continues to improve, and the Knicks are the most dominant team this season. The Grizzlies have blacked out the Spurs in the playoffs. Now whether the Grizzlies can blacklist the Knicks will be revealed in the next game. Of course, for such an opponent, the Grizzlies must play twelve points. After all, they have the strongest player in the league, Li Feng."
In the eyes of the media, Li Feng's old club, the Memphis Grizzlies, is difficult to compete with the Knicks, but the Knicks' praise from all sides is very calm. They know that if the game is to play one game at a time, whether it is the Lakers' 20 consecutive wins or 33 consecutive wins, there is still a distance!
Li Feng, who returned to the FedEx Center again, is the darling of the media. Before the game, Memphis's "Memphis Sports" went to New York to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Feng. This is also the first time that the local media in Memphis have issued goodwill since Li Feng left Memphis.
Although he didn't really want to leave the Grizzlies at the beginning, he was still very unhappy with the Grizzlies boss, the Memphis media and Li Feng have always had a good relationship. They traded in New York in real time and did not make any comments on him. After all, it was the place where his career started, and he readily accepted an interview with the Memphis Sports News.
Henry, a reporter from the Memphis Sports News, is also a former acquaintance of Li Feng. After a while of greeting, they got to the point. Henry asked:
"I'm going to Memphis to play games soon, and as an opponent, what do you think?"
Li Feng was lying on the sofa of his big villa. The only one living in this big villa of more than 2,000 square meters is now with him and Natalie. However, one of them was busy playing basketball and the other was busy acting. Today he was the only one at home. He pondered for a moment and said:
"I was very moved. When I was selected by the Grizzlies, I was very excited. After that, I also dissolved into this beautiful small town. If some situations could change, maybe I am still in the Grizzlies now, but life is so volatile. Now I am a member of the Knicks. But Memphis will still be one of my best memories."
Henry said: "Who is the person who has influenced or helped you the most in Memphis?"
Li Feng said: "It's hard to say it's a certain person. The situation at that time was very lucky for me. I first met Allen Iverson who was in Memphis at the time. After that, Coach Lionel was also very good to me, and his teammates were very kind, such as Mark, Zach, and Mike..."
Henry said: "Some people think you came here for a high salary. Is there such a factor?"
Li Feng smiled and said:
"Everyone wants a high salary, but for me this is not the first factor. Besides, the situation at that time is not something I can grasp. As long as anyone can give the Grizzlies enough chips, I have to go there."
Henry said:
“Are you and your teammates surprised by the victory so far for the Knicks?”
Li Feng said:
"I'm not surprised, but our luck is indeed good. There is a certain advantage in the field. But the key to their victory is that the team can unite. Every team will sacrifice any price for success. For example, Derek, who is in the Knicks, has a lot of data shrinking. For example, James, if he is in a team with unlimited shooting, I wouldn't be surprised to have 30 points per game. It is the efforts of our whole team that we will maintain our victory."
Henry said: "Are you surprised by your personal success?"
Li Feng smiled and said:
"Not surprised, only you want to accomplish your goals and do it. You will definitely succeed. Even if there are any setbacks, you want to conquer him, and you will not be conquered by him."
Henry said: "What is your dream in the Knicks?"
Li Feng smiled and said:
"My dream is to make more people fall in love with the dribble of basketball."
Henry asked again: "Have you ever thought about leaving the Knicks?"
Li Feng smiled and said:
"No, I'm very happy in New York."
...
Henry said:
"Thank you for your cooperation. I wish you success this season."
...
Two days later, Li Feng, who seemed very modest during the interview, showed no mercy to his old club. At the beginning of the game, Cousins and Gasol Jr. jumped.
Gasol took advantage of his jump, and he jumped to Cousins and picked the ball to Conley.
Monroe returned to the starting position today. He took the initiative to provoke in the inside and faced Randolph.
"Fatty Lan, your flesh is so soft, it's so muddy!"
The Grizzlies' current spiritual leader is Randolph, and it is also the most stable point. He had no expression on his face and stuck Monroe to get the ball. Then he leaned back and tried his strength to see if he could score in. This way, he could give Monroe a little color.
Because of the substitute in the last game, Monroe's energy is now so abundant that it is a bit too much.
As soon as Randolph leaned back, he knew what the kid wanted to do. A grim smile appeared on his face, and Monroe deliberately relaxed backwards.
Randolph couldn't see the smile on Monroe's face, and he wouldn't mind if he saw it. Randolph also had his pride.
He patted the ball on the ground, Randolph leaned hard inwards, and pushed into the forbidden area against Monroe. Monroe slowly moved backwards, looking like he was hit by Randolph.
Memphis fans looked excitedly on the court. Monroe's defense is not inferior to Chandler. Randolph looks very relaxed in playing Monroe. This is really surprising, and it is a surprise.
It was indeed an accident, because it turned out that Randolph could not beat Monroe, at least he could not easily gain any advantage from him.
Moving in, Randolph hit Monroe rhythmically. When he stepped into the forbidden area, he turned around and jumped up to make a board shot.
Randolph danced together, and some anxious fans couldn't help but start cheering loudly. In their opinion, such a ball is definitely sure to win, isn't it?
In fact, it's not.
As soon as Randolph's muscles stretched out, Monroe knew what this guy wanted to do, so when Randolph turned around, Monroe started to jump.
As soon as the basketball left Randolph's hand, although Randolph had already adjusted the shot point very high in order to prevent it from being blocked, the basketball was still slapped by Monroe.
Harden grabbed the ball and threw it to Li Feng, and Li Feng handed it to Ross outside the three-point line and ran out.
Ross led the fast attack, Conley was very fast, but the defense could only be considered average. He could only follow Ross to interfere with his ball control, and did not do a good job in how to block Ross' progress and passing pace.
This led to Ross easily seeing his figure when Li Feng rushed into the forbidden area and sent the ball up in time.
Li Feng pulled the ball in the air when he received it, held the ball with his arms and waved it, and smashed the ball into the ring.
As for the "old friend" Rudy Gay who faces Li Feng, this guy claims to be a defensive player, but he has no way to deal with Li Feng's aerial relay.
“It’s so relaxed.”
Li Feng laughed and said, this could undoubtedly stimulate the nerves of Memphis people.
However, there were bursts of applause at the scene, and even Li Feng found that among the fans, there were also young fans wearing Grizzlies No. 0 jerseys, who were a little stunned for a moment.
Conley then used his speed to break through Ross and inserted into the inside line, just like a black lightning bolt. Li Feng and others only felt that the guy had already stepped into the inside line. As expected, there was a reason why this guy was selected by No. 4 back then.
However, Li Feng was not slow either. Kang Li had just rushed into the inside and Li Feng had already caught up from behind.
Originally Conley was preparing to pass the ball, but Gasol and Randolph were both stuck and he could not hit the ball to the inside. As for those who passed the ball to the outside player, the Knicks' defense was easily broken.
In this way, Kang Li had to choose to go alone, but Li Feng was chasing behind him. He knew very well about Li Feng's strength. In order to prevent being blocked, he had to increase the height of the shot when throwing the ball.
In this way, Li Feng was indeed unable to block Conley, but the basketball also lost its accuracy and could not be thrown into the ring.
The basketball hit the rim and fell down. Cousins grabbed Gasol Jr. and stretched out his long arm to take the rebound.
This was the first rebound in the game, Cousins thought with joy.
Thinking of this in my heart, Cousins was dissatisfied with his skills, so he threw the ball to Ross directly. Then he stood on the ground and stopped moving. There was nothing he had to do with him behind. This must be a fast attack.
Just as he thought. Rose succeeded in a fast attack.
4-0, the Grizzlies started badly.
"Brother soft-boys, show us your majesty." Cousins followed Gasol and teased.
Originally, Marc Gasol was not a soft boy. Who told him that he had a soft boy brother? Mr. Cousins doesn’t care about so much, let’s talk about it first.
"You are now acting like a Spanish soft-footed shrimp. Do you know what the fans say? Look at that guy. His brother was selected by the third place and he was selected by the second round. This is the gap."
Little Gasol had no expression on his face. In fact, he was not angry anymore, but compared with his brother, he was a little impatient.
In fact, no one wants to hear this.
Taking Cousins to the outside line, Gasol Jr. suddenly waved to Conley's ball, but unfortunately Conley didn't focus on him at first. When he found that Gasol Jr. was going to be the ball, Cousins had already followed. In other words, the attack was no longer sudden.
After receiving Conley's pass, Gasol couldn't help but whisper a little curse
"It's so damn!"
