Chapter 387 Li Feng's World(1/2)

(Modified below)

When the Nets won the game, Joe Johnson was the biggest contributor. He made 6 of 11 three-pointers, scoring a game-high 34 points, and also had 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Deron Williams scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Cameron Anthony scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, and 2 blocks and 2 steals. David Lee scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, playing his best game in his personal game. Others did not score doubles, and Lopez only had 8 points, but his stable performance at critical moments helped the Nets win.

Joe Johnson's rise is a very important reason for the Nets' winning. He is also a player who can shoot three-pointers, which poses a great threat to the Knicks. Compressing defense can limit Deron and Anthony's breakthroughs, but it has little effect on Joe Johnson. He himself mainly pitches on the periphery.

Of course Avery Johnson knew this, so the game arrangement tactic is that the "Big Four" helped Joe Johnson create opportunities. At the critical moment, the Nets' offense opened.

Li Feng contributed 23 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks in the whole game, Cousins ​​scored 11 points, 13 rebounds, Harden scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Ross scored 14 points and 6 assists, and JR Smith, who came on the bench, scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Smith is very good in this game, with more playing time than Harden, but he missed the opportunity to win, and his defensive strength is not enough.

The only gain from the Knicks in this game was that Smith proved that his scoring ability was not inferior to Harden and he was a super substitute.

In this game, the Knicks had many opportunities to win, and in the end, Taberdeau had to bear a lot of responsibility. In this game, he was confused again, or because he was not prepared before the game and lacked on-the-spot response.

When Taberdeau saw that Smith felt good, he gave him a lot of playing time, and even gave him the last attack of regular time to shoot, giving him full trust.

But he ignored that while Smith scored, his opponent also scored a lot of points, and he couldn't defend himself from attacking.

The Knicks have many swingers to use. Although Kirilianko is not good at shooting, she is extremely brave on the defensive end and is a good player in defense. If he is sent to deal with Joe Johnson, although the offense is unreliable, he will definitely not let Joe Johnson shoot so many three-pointers.

There is also Belinelli. He only played for 7 minutes in this game, without getting a single point. He sat on the bench without even sweating. There were also mistakes in using people in the interior. Cousins' touch was very bad in this game. He was a little abnormal, and he was always good at tough battles, and his offense and defense were not tough enough.

Even though he knew that Cousins ​​was not good, Taberdog insisted on letting him play more, Monroe didn't even have half of Cousins' phone use.

In the third game, the Knicks were not as flexible as the Nets in employed people, and in the fourth game, they made the same mistake.

Anthony is the person who thinks too much about the Nets. He dares not take action. There are still people who can stand up and score and lead the Nets to win the game.

The head coach of the Knicks was stunned in these two games, but he would be dead.

Taberdeau is also afraid of losing. So he wants a fixed number of players to play for a longer time, so that they can get better at running-in. However, after these players have played for a long time, the Nets have figured out the Knicks' offensive routines to better defend.

After the game, Tiberdog took the initiative to admit his mistake and took responsibility.

He is very happy. If he is wrong, he is wrong. He will not find reasons for himself. He will not complain about players.

The players all fought according to his tactics, and Li Feng unconditionally believed him and did not question his tactics. This is rare.

Of course, Taberdeau's tactics cannot be said to be completely wrong, creating some misalignment opportunities. If the players feel good, they may win easily, and poor feel will become a disaster.

Reporter asked:

"At regular time, the Knicksbury had a chance to win, but you arranged for Smith to make the last shot. There was still time at that time. What did you think?"

Taberdog shook his head and sighed:

"Because Li Feng was strictly guarded, it was difficult for us to break into the inside to play. Smith was more confident than Li Feng's shooting from the outside. The tactic arranged at that time was that if Smith was defended, he would pass it to Ross to shoot, and his three-pointer was also good. That attack blocked the gap, but unfortunately he didn't make it. It was a pity that he lost a good opportunity. The players played very well. We lost to ourselves in both games, and we lacked some luck, but we would not lose confidence because of it. We will win the next game. The Knicks have not lost a row for a long time, and it is even more impossible to lose three consecutive games."

After saying this, the reporters realized that the Knicks had indeed not lost in a row for a long time. Not to mention three consecutive losses, two consecutive losses were a long time ago.

Tiberdeau's words immediately made people feel confident in the Knicks.

At this time, the most taboo thing to say is to be discouraged. What Taberdeau needs to do is to encourage players to play the next game, rather than immerse themselves in the past and regret and depression that cannot be extricated. That is no benefit.

Li Feng only said a few simple words, and after an overtime, Anthony scored only 17 points. The Knicks' defense was successful again, so he of course made a great contribution to the main defense.

But he couldn't be happy. If the Knicks could win, he would rather let Anthony score more points.

When the reporter asked him what he thought about Smith's last shot, Li Feng said:

"The tactics were very successful, but I just didn't score. This was a good goal, but I just lacked some luck."

What Li Feng thought to himself was that this was not a little luck, it was simply unlucky!

But he wouldn't say it. The thing he was most afraid of happened. They had to fight to the bottom of the game and had an advantage at home.

Losing, losing three consecutive games will affect morale and go away.

The Nets equalized the total score, but they all rely on shooting.

In both games, more three-pointers were shot than the Knicks. Once the shooting was out of order, the Knicks still had the advantage.

In the next game, the key is to find someone to defend Joe Johnson.

Experts are all people who are good at "hindsight". If the Nets lose, they will find the Nets with a lot of shortcomings, and the Knicks lose.

I also listed a bunch of the shortcomings of the Knicks. At first glance, what I said seemed to make sense. In fact, I just briefly described what had happened.

These comments didn't help the Knicks, and Tiberdore was a smart guy.

The biggest difference between smart people and stupid people is that smart people are always well aware of their own weaknesses and can also see the strengths of others. stupid people are just the opposite.

Tiberdore knew the weaknesses of the Knicks and the advantages of the Nets, and Li Feng also made what he promised, limiting Anthony's score to 20 points. It was a bit unreasonable to lose at this time, and he could no longer ask Li Feng to do more.

The "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" brought the atmosphere of Madison Square Garden to its peak.

The Nets won three consecutive games to overtake? Or is it the Knicks going to the Nets to take a home victory? The winning side will have the upper hand and may win the championship in one go.

If the Nets reversed like the Miami Heat in 2006 and defeated the Knicks who broke the regular season record, it would definitely be more valuable than the Heat's beating the Mavericks to win the championship.

Those who support the Knicks are more concerned about this game. They don’t want the Knicks to lose the finals in this way. As long as they win this game, the Knicks will almost certainly defend their title successfully, because the Knicks will have one home game next. TNT Radio and ESPN Radio will broadcast the game live.

Barkley thinks the Knicks' two consecutive losses were just an accident. He said:

"The Knicks won two games by chance due to their abnormal external touch and mistakes in using personnel. Li Feng was very successful in defending Anthony, and they would definitely win this game. I don't believe that the Knicks' outside players have no touch in every game. As long as their three-point shooting percentage is slightly higher in the last game, they won."

Kenny Smith smiled:

"Li Feng defended Anthony, but his contribution on the offensive end also declined. The Nets also have Joe Johnson, Deron and David Lee, you can't say that it's too absolute. Except for the center, the Nets are not at a disadvantage in all positions. I think it's not surprising that they won the championship."

Barkley said lazily:

"The main problem of the Knicks is the point guard. Ross's offense is good, but his defense is not good. Livingston has not performed much since this round. I think the Knicks should consider letting Li Feng play the point guard on the offensive end, so that the No. 3 position Kirilianko can also defend Anthony, Li Feng can follow Deron on the periphery, and can still maintain Harden's offense. Harden's defense is not too bad. Even if he is not as good as Li Feng and Kirilianko, he is still better than JR Smith Harden's defense."

Kenny Smith said:

"I think the Knicks will make some adjustments in this game, oh, the player is on the court...jr Smith got a starting chance in this game."

Players on both sides stood in the field. When they saw the list of personnel, Johnson, the "Magic" who was in charge of espn, was happy.

"Both Ross and Harden did not play in this game. Li Feng seems to be playing the point guard. In this way, Anthony is likely to compete with him in the backcourt."

The Knicks sent Cousins, Monroe, Kirilenko, Smith, and Li Feng, with an advantage in height.

The Nets are still in the lineup for the last game, including Brooke Lopez, David Lee, Anthony, Morrow, and Deron Williams.

Joe Johnson sat on the bench. After playing, Li Feng noticed a small detail.

The Nets won two consecutive games, and it is said that the time and place are good, and people should be more confident in the fifth game, but Li Feng found that Anthony's eyes were very muddy and had no passion.

He didn't make a show when he appeared. During the regular season, Anthony and Deron often played special moves to attract attention.

Anthony's failure to show also proves that he is unsure of his heart. He is afraid that he will lose the game after the show.

In the key games, he was under greater psychological pressure.

Li Feng had a sudden inspiration and walked to Anthony's ear and said:

"The Knicks will win this game. We will focus on you. In the key game, don't score only 10 points, it will be embarrassing."

Anthony snorted without replying.

Seeing Anthony "standing by the well", Li Feng certainly would not miss the opportunity to step forward and push. If Anthony fails to perform well and falls into the well, he will throw another stone.

Li Feng has not taken the initiative to provoke for a long time. The Knicks must win this game, so he doesn't mind squirting some trash talks with Anthony on the court.

The competition has begun.

Monroe and David Lee jumped to the ball and the Knicks attacked first.

After Li Feng took the ball through half, Anthony stood in front of the three-point line and did not step forward to press him. In the past few games, Li Feng also tried to get the ball from the outside. Anthony followed him out and the Knicks players covered him. He not only could he get away from Anthony, but also had room to break through the pick-and-roll player with the ball, which would make the Nets' defense more difficult. So at the beginning, the Nets players quickly entered the inside line. The joint defense began, and only Anthony was the head defense in front of the three-point line.

Li Feng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and moved sideways, giving it to Smith at 45 degrees on the right.

Smith faced Morrow without relying on pick-and-roll, and immediately broke through. He dribbled under his crotch and stopped immediately. He set a distance with Morrow in one step, and made a quick stop and jump shot into the handball!

Smith has no other characteristics, he is a natural scoring maniac.

Morrow's pace was not fast enough and his defensive ability declined. The Nets asked him to play to stabilize the situation and control the ball to relieve the pressure on Deron and Anthony, but he was also a defensive loophole and a fake starter.

In the last game, Ross and Smith scored a lot of points in front of him.

Tiberdeau arranged for Smith to be the main attacker, and both inside and Smith were waiting for an opportunity to compete for the frontcourt rebounds. Li Feng was at the top of the arc, and in addition to the ball-handling organization, he also wanted to attract Anthony's defense. If his teammates did not make a shot, the Nets would fight back, and he would be responsible for dragging back and quickly return to defense. The Nets' fast break will be more difficult.

This is the way the Knicks came up with to restrain the Nets, and Tiberdore is ready to maximize the power of Smith's offensive end.

Li Feng is still responsible for defending Anthony, close to the outside, and Smith defends Morrow. The others compress the defense in three corners of the penalty area.

Morrow passed the ball to Deron, and Smith immediately defended and kept the distance. The main defense broke through.

Delong dribbles to the right and cannot find a breakthrough.

In the last game, the Knicks also had a tight defense against him. Anthony ran and Deron passed the ball. Anthony took the ball against Li Feng, and he changed direction and dribbled the ball.

The 24-second offensive time passed very quickly, and in a short while there were only 6 seconds left. David Lee pulled him to the outside to cover Anthony, Smith replaced defense, Monroe defended from the basket, and went to the middle position, staring at Deron.

Kirilenko and Li Feng joined forces to limit Anthony, which was enough to make him feel a headache. He was already an old opponent, and both of them knew what Anthony would do.

Kirirenko blocked in front, Li Feng fled from behind, but stood next to him for a moment, and Anthony immediately passed the ball out.

As soon as Anthony turned around, Li Feng immediately turned around and headed towards the direction of his passing. David Li received the ball, and Li Feng changed defense and followed, blocking him.
