Chapter 550 Lead to death
After defeating the Hawks, the Knicks ushered in a relatively relaxed schedule, continuously adjusting the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers and other matches against the Five Sorry. Tiberdore maintained relative confidence in the game. Li Feng averaged 20 minutes per game in these four games. In fact, Cousins and Monroe did not even play, but fighting against the Five Sorry is fighting against the Five Sorry. Genfeng did not have the strength to be upset. Dragic became the protagonist in these games, scoring 30+10 in four consecutive games, and the Knicks also ushered in a 14-game winning streak.
After a comfortable schedule, another big battle will come.
The New York Knicks will fly to Chicago to challenge the Chicago Bulls.
This league-first and second game also attracted too many attentions. Even if the Knicks lose in this game, they can still keep the first place. However, no one would think that the Knicks would not do their best, because the last time they lost to the Bulls and lost the league-first, and now they finally regain the lead position, and they will definitely not plan for the opponent.
The years of grudges between the Knicks and the Bulls need not be mentioned. Ross joins the Knicks to raise the grudges between the two teams to the level of the Heat and the Knicks. Now that Ross is reimbursed for the season, it cannot reduce the Chicago people's hatred of the Knicks.
A large poster was hung outside the Chicago United Center Arena, full of photos of the Bulls winning the last game, and then it was written in blood-red font: The Knicks are here to win again!
The Bulls' crazy state this year has stimulated fanatical fans, and the United Center Arena has also become one of the league's super home courts.
When the Knicks players appeared, they encountered a whistle booing like a truck, but that was nothing. They were used to it. Fans of the Pacers and other teams were also of this kind, but weren't they still lost their voices in the end?
"What's the use of being so fierce? They have to give me some color on the court so that I can convince me."
Cousins said to the fans with disdain.
With Li Feng's relationship, the players of the two teams are still quite harmonious. JR Smith, Paul and others walked over with a smile, and a group of people began to play and brag about each other.
"Feng, today is not the All-Star Game, don't you think you'll be the protagonist!"
Paul said with great fighting spirit.
"Derick once said this, Chris might as well come to New York!"
Li Feng said directly regardless of the Bulls player next to him.
"You come here, we will give you a chance to keep a water dispenser!"
Paul said disdainfully.
"You come to New York to clean the toilet, we welcome you!"
Li Feng is even more arrogant!
...
Both sides fought each other and finally returned to their respective halfs with a friendly shake of hands.
The Knicks made some adjustments, Cousins, Monroe, Li Feng, JR Smith, and Dragic.
The Bulls' lineup remains unchanged for thousands of years, with center Howard and power forwards being Okafor, small forward Iguodala, shooting guard Jimmy Butler, and point guard Chris Paul.
Cousins and Howard stood on both sides of the center line. Both sides shook hands. The latter said:
"Little cat, you can save some effort later. Don't jump anymore, it's useless to jump anyway. Isn't you even my mother protected in the game? "
Cousins responded confidently:
"Dwight. Why don't you talk about what happened ten years ago? People are growing up. Have you seen our previous games? I jumped and beat Li Feng! Are you even better than him?"
"Really or not?"
Howard was a little suspicious.
The referee threw the ball, Howard jumped up suddenly, and Cousins stood on tiptoe and waved his hand in a pretentious manner, so he let Howard steal the ball rights.
Howard looked at Cousins in shock and said indifferently:
"You're right, Dwight. Instead of wasting my efforts, I might as well save up and deal with you later. I can't beat you anyway."
"Didn't you beat Li Feng by jumping? Ha. Are you bastard cheating on me?"
Howard asked as he ran forward.
Mr. Cousins said in a daze:
"I jumped ten times, I lost nine times, and he was embarrassed to be the last time..."
Howard: "!#¥…"
Although they were talking and laughing before the game, when the game started, both sides immediately got into the state and began to take it seriously.
Paul dribbled the ball to the top arc of the three-point line with a unique gentle rhythm, facing the alert Dragic. He smiled, and casually slapped the ball with his left hand and raised it with his right hand to shook Howard hard.
Although facing Howard, Dragic noticed that Paul's eyes kept wandering around.
Damn, this bastard wants to break through the strong attack! Dragic guessed in his heart.
Thinking of this, Dragic slowly took a step back. As soon as Dragic retreated, Paul put away the ball and jumped up quickly like a burning butt, and shot a long shot in the top arc.
"Swish!" A shot hit, Paul watched the ball fall into the Nets accurately. He laughed:
“No pressure, no.”
Dragic drove the ball forward like lightning. Paul first let go of two steps to lead the way. When Dragic passed half, he suddenly pushed forward.
The short but not weak body squeezed Dragic and kept waving his big hand, interfering with Dragic's dribbling and passing vision.
After being squeezed by Paul, Dragic had to slow down his speed. Paul was laughing secretly. As a result, Dragic accelerated again and broke through him with agility, catching Paul off guard.
After Dragic threw away Paul, he rushed into the three-point line. He took two steps in a row, jumped up and trembled his hand to complete the shot into the ring.
Howard, who had been entangled with Li Feng in the inside, quickly turned around, clamped Cousins and looked up at the ring. After watching for two seconds, he didn't see the basketball figure. This made him a little strange, what about the fuck?
"Look here!"
Howard was depressed, and a roar sounded behind him. Then, it seemed as if a tank hit him and pushed him out directly. He turned around in surprise and saw Li Feng's heroic posture of slightly bent his legs and holding the ball in both hands.
"Damn, it's so cunning!"
Howard and Paul cursed at the same time.
Dragic smiled slightly and said in a low-key manner:
"This is cleverness, and the soldiers never get tired of deceit."
"We are still ahead, and we have the ball."
Paul smiled happily as he pushed forward, and began to habitually squirt about trash.
Dragic doesn't speak. He just let go and retreats. Pressing Paul is asking for death. He will deliberately reveal a flaw to let you steal, and then throw you away, so he can take the opportunity to break through. Therefore, Dragic follows Paul and maintains the position of the person who can move forward and interfere with the retreat.
Paul ran to the frontcourt without any haste. He glanced at Dragic and threw the ball to Howard at the basket for a long pass.
Howard ran very quickly, and Cousins was thrown away by him for more than two meters, when he ran into the penalty area. Cousins had not caught up with him.
Paul made a long pass and backwards. Howard turned around and picked up the basket after receiving the ball. The two of them had a very tacit understanding of each other. I don’t know how many times this season I used this method to deal with the clumsy inside.
Howard threw the ball up, and a figure moved horizontally from the air. At the same time, an arm was raised high and slapped the ball down with a slap.
Cousins happened to run. He picked up the ball and turned and swung it down. JR Smith rushed to the frontcourt as if stepping on a hot wheel. Paul was entangled by Dragic. Jimmy Butler did not stare at JR Smith, so he made an easy defensive counterattack.
Looking at 4-3 on the scoreboard, Li Feng glanced at Paul and said:
"Chris, can your eggs still calm?"
After the first quarter, both sides found that they underestimated their opponents. As it turned out, the Knicks were here to take revenge, and the Bulls also came to defeat the Knicks in a row.
Before the game, the Bulls fully studied the Knicks internally and found that this team relied more on Li Feng's personal ability, at most Dragic organized a small scale, and then Li Feng supported the ball in the inside to pass the ball.
So, after the first quarter, the Knicks and the Bulls tied 22-22, and neither side could do anything to each other.
Tiberdore sent troops to transfer generals on the bench, Vucevic replaced Cousins, and Diop, who had not appeared for a long time, replaced Monroe. The inside line was too fierce and they had to rest.
Phil Jackson grabbed the tactical board and wrote doodles in a hurry, forcing each tactic to the players' minds. He also rotated the lineup. Okafor was replaced and Mohammed came on the court. The other candidates remained the same.
Generally speaking, this peak battle will not be adjusted too much unless it is behind or leading the score.
Both sides play.
Li Feng served Dragic and ran down his sweat. Iguodala was pestering him like an unjust soul. As long as he didn't enter the penalty area, Li Feng would face the second sticky candy in the league. As for who is the first, who else is the black-legged Uncle Bao San?
Dragic organized for a while, and he could not break through the iron-blooded defense of Paul. Li Feng inserted into the middle from the wing. Dragic passed the ball and led Paul to the inside, using the running position to disrupt the Bulls' defense, although this was of no use.
After Li Feng got the ball, he took a deep breath and grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled it behind him. Iguodala leaned against him tightly, sticking to him like an octopus, not giving him the chance to jump up and play a backward jump shot.
"Annie, I said you're so fucking close to me. I like women. You don't know that no matter how you stick to me, I won't be moved by you."
Li Feng turned around and pushed Iguodala away, spitting trash words in his mouth, giving Iguodala a feminine name Anne... As a result, just as he took back his butt, Iguodala put it on again, very stubborn and tenacious.
Iguodala doesn't need to think too much about scoring at the Bulls now, and her defense is already one of the strongest in the league.
Li Feng planned to break through, but looking at Howard, who was ready to double-team at any time in the interior, he decisively gave up this tempting idea, but still rushed towards the interior.
Iguodala was knocked away, Li Feng took big steps toward the inside line, Howard pushed Vucevic and spread his arms to double-team Li Feng.
Two old guys, Muhammad and Diop, were playing wrestling, and no one could kick the other. Both of them were strong and had poor flexibility. When they met, Mars hit the Earth.
Li Feng took two steps and chose to pass the ball horizontally until he got close to Howard. Vucevic took the opportunity to run to the right wing three-point line a long distance. After receiving Li Feng's pass, he tiptoed to take a golden chicken independent move, and used his left hand to twitch the basketball and offered an accurate mid-range shot.
Chapter completed!
