Chapter 602 Leadership(1/2)

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Feng continued to play on the Knicks, and Li Feng only scored a goal on the court.

George rushed up immediately on the Pacers. The Pacers would definitely not let Li Feng play in form. After the Pacers lost Granger, the best defender on the outside had become George.

George is also a member of the first defense team, and his defensive ability is unquestionable. George immediately caused great trouble for Li Feng as soon as he came up.

The momentum of the two teams became evenly balanced again, so the Pacers were still 6 points ahead, and Li Feng led the team to chase after him to the death.

But today the Pacers did perform very well at home, and George was in a state. As a result, the Pacers took a lot of advantage. At the end of the first half, the Pacers led the Knicks by 10 points.

57-47, the Knicks were crushed by 10 points in the first half, and George still felt hot on the side. Under such circumstances, the Knicks' situation was not very good.

In such a big game, the Knicks fell behind by 10 points, which was a huge pressure, and the Knicks' previous stress resistance was not good.

At this time, Yang Yi said with great concern:

"The Pacers led the first half, which is very uneasy. In this series, the Knicks played well with the ball against the wind, but they played against the wind just in time. Now they are against the wind, and the Pacers are very upwind. At this time, the moment to test the Knicks' psychology has come. If the Knicks can overcome their psychological barriers, there is still hope for the game. If they can't, they can only get here."

Yang Yi talked about the problem completely from the perspective of the Knicks. But Barkley, a veteran commentator of TNT in the United States, said with great confidence:

"The Knicks are finished! According to the previous experience of the two teams, whoever leads will win, today the Pacers are ahead of the wild doctor. Moreover, the Pacers have better psychological qualities and higher morale at home. Today the Pacers will win. The Knicks are still young and have poor psychological qualities."

When Barkley said this, Kenny Smith also agreed:

"Indeed, the Knicks played well in the regular season, but they still lacked experience in the playoffs. Although Li Feng has experience, his partners do not."

There are also commentators on the broadcast in the United States who unanimously believe that the Knicks are finished because the Knicks showed bad will quality before.

When the outside world was in crisis, Li Feng delivered a great speech in the Knicks' locker room. Li Feng knew that he had to use this time to say something. He had to make his team perform very well. He believed that if he only played a game, his team's explosive power would be far better than the opponent.

Since the Pacers are playing well now, Li Feng wants to make his team better than the Pacers.

So Li Feng arrived in the locker room. After a short rest, he stood up and said loudly:

"Brothers! Let me say a few words. We played very well in the regular season this season, and the first two series also played well. But when we met the Pacers, we encountered trouble. They were one of the strongest opponents we have ever encountered. We played very hard in this series! I think everyone has experienced the difficulties."

"Now that we have come here, I don't think anyone wants to lose, because if we go further, we can create history. With only one step or half a step, we can create the highest glory. Does anyone want to retreat at this time?"

Li Feng paused a little when he said this. The Knicks' locker room could naturally be full of "can't"

Having said that, Li Feng has already unified everyone's goals, and the team can continue to do it under a unified goal.

Li Feng got the answer he wanted, and then continued to say:

"Since we all want to win, the rhythm of the second half must be controlled by us, and we must play basketball of our own style. We must trust each other and share each other, whether on the defensive end or offensive end, communicate more and muster up the courage, we can win, we will definitely win! Victory belongs to us, we must belong to us!"

Li Feng's tone became more and more firm, and a sparkling glow appeared in his eyes. This kind of Li Feng gave his teammates great encouragement and even shock.

So when Li Feng finished speaking, the Knicks players shouted together:

"Victory belongs to us!"

After Li Feng boosted his morale, he stood up again and explained some details to all the players. Li Feng had to change the team's style in the second half through his hands and mouth and change the team's confidence. But this just means that Li Feng still needs to do some things on the court.

The 10 minutes passed quickly, and the second half began, and the Knicks' goal was at the beginning of the second half.

Under the command of Li Feng, the Knicks played a multiple run without the ball at the beginning. As soon as the Knicks came up, Li Feng ran again, JR Smith was running, and then Cousins, who was in the inside, was also moving in circles.

The entire Knicks' offense suddenly came alive. The Pacers played well in the first half, and their lineup was too heavy to fit in this light style.

The Knicks easily pulled open the space when they came up. Li Feng easily rushed to the low post. Once Li Feng rushed up, Bainelli quickly passed the ball to Li Feng's hand.

Li Feng paused at the basket with the ball, and the Pacers' attention was on Li Feng.

At this time, Li Feng had a good position at the basket, and the Pacers were about to pounce, but at this moment, Li Feng suddenly reached behind George, and passed the ball with a hit from behind. The basketball went smoothly to Cousins' hand inserted behind.

Cousins ​​easily found an opportunity in the Knicks' series of runs and immediately scored two points on the layup.

In the second half, the Knicks changed at the beginning of the game, and the team's running became more flexible, and Li Feng also changed to the role of passing the ball in the center.

As soon as the change occurs, a commotion will be caused on the court immediately.

The Knicks' atmosphere changed, and Barkley on the sidelines immediately said:

"The Knicks changed the pace in the second half. They have to show all their skills in the second half. This is the Knicks' last chance. This wave will definitely be very fierce. See if the Pacers can withstand it!"

The walkers naturally felt the Knicks' fierce counterattack, and they immediately became nervous.

When the Pacers arrived at the Knicks' half, they really wanted to save the Knicks first. George took the ball and challenged Li Feng's defense again.

Li Feng himself has very strong defensive ability, but at this moment, the team is to be more safe.

He still used collective defense, Li Feng stared at Cousins ​​from the front and back. George decisively adopted breakthrough measures in the face of this defense. He would rather go to the inside to challenge Cousins ​​than want to fight Li Feng from the outside.

George had a good idea. But if he wanted to break through Cousins, he still had to pass Li Feng's level first. When George broke through, Li Feng chased him at his elbow. Even if he was broken through half a step, Li Feng magically encountered George's basketball below.

In this way, George got up and broke through the ball but didn't catch it steadily. The breakthrough came up and it immediately became crooked.

The Knicks made a successful defense for a round at once. Turning back, the Knicks immediately came quickly towards the Pacers' half.

At this time, the Knicks also ran a beautiful cross cover while running quickly. Smith, who came up from behind, cleverly gave Li Feng a cover. Li Feng dribbled the ball and reached the Pacers' three-point line.

The Pacers' attention was changed. Li Feng passed the ball with another strike, and the basketball went to the hands of JR Smith outside.

JR Smith got a three-pointer and scored 3 points in an instant.

The Pacers had to call a timeout, because the Knicks caught up with 5 points in one breath, and the Pacers' 10-point advantage disappeared in an instant.

The Pacers called a timeout at this time and immediately changed to a small lineup with the Knicks. After changing to this small lineup, the Pacers immediately increased their flexibility and could barely follow the Knicks' fast movement.

The Pacers finally defended the remaining 5-point advantage, but the Knicks came up and chased 5 points, and the score difference was shortened to 5 points. The Knicks' psychological pressure suddenly became much smaller. Once the psychological pressure was gone, the Knicks' fighting spirit would come.

In the second half, he fought with the Pacers, and all the players performed. Li Feng also made a series of good passes as the center.

Once the Knicks loses psychological pressure, their strength will come out, and they will not be at a disadvantage when they fight against the Pacers in the second half.

At the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two teams shortened to 4 points, 79-75, with only 4 points left, and the two teams were about to enter the fourth quarter.

At this time, the score difference suddenly shortened. Yang Yi finally relaxed and said:

"The two teams entered the last quarter with a score difference of 4 points. The Knicks had no problem. In the end, no matter the winning or losing of the game, at least the Knicks' mentality will not be messed up!"

In the United States, Barkley also changed his words and said:

"The Knicks' adjustment in the third quarter was effective. They have finally caught up with the score, so the Pacers have no absolute advantage."

Barkley changed his words, which shows that the Knicks put a lot of pressure on the Pacers on the court.

When we came back from the fourth quarter, this was the last quarter. The two teams had a 4-point gap. At this time, we all knew that it was time to fight to the death.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers did not let George rest in order to ensure stability, but did not let George take the lead at the start, because George stayed in the last few minutes to exert force.

The Pacers played West's high-level tactics at the beginning, and West took the ball and George waved in front of West, pretending to catch the ball.

When the whole world was looking at George's side, West swayed the ball with one hand and then broke through the Knicks' basket from the middle.

West was really shocking. He was very sudden. Seeing that West left the two big Knicks behind. Everyone thought West would succeed.

If West succeeds this time, a dunk will bring the Pacers' morale to a rise immediately.

West also thought he had succeeded, but ignored Li Feng, who was standing near the basket and looked not tall.

It doesn't matter that West's contempt. Li Feng suddenly rushed up like a leopard under the basket and gave West a block.

"Bang!"

West was blocked at the beginning, and the basketball was directly slapped into Bailineli's hands by Li Feng.

Pelinelli immediately ran towards the Pacers' half with the ball. The Pacers were desperately returning to defense at this critical moment.

Belinelli took the ball while moving quickly and looked at Li Feng. When Belinelli saw that the Pacers' defense was immediately paused.

At this moment, Pelineri was still a big step away from the Pacers' three-point line, and stood up with a very long three-pointer.

"Swish!"

Bailineli came up and gave the Pacers a three-pointer. At this time, Madison's Knicks fans finally had the opportunity to fight back. The cheers were waves, completely stunned the Pacers fans!

Belineri's ball was a bit like a sprint, which made him sprint. The Pacers couldn't hold it. So at this time Vogel hurriedly got up and shouted that DJ Augustine would follow Belineri.

The Knicks caught the Pacers off guard at the beginning, and the Pacers hurriedly caught up with them, originally trying to play West's tactics.

But West was blocked by Li Feng in one round, and the fight was a bit weak in this round.

He took the ball and made a jump shot. Seeing that Li Feng came over again, he changed to pass the ball.

This kind of hesitation in the final battle is the most taboo in this kind of battle. West changed his mind a little, and Thornton, who was on the bench, immediately responded very quickly to block the basketball. Thornton intercepted the basketball and passed the ball to Monroe on the side.

Monroe passed the ball at the first time, and the basketball went directly to Belineri in the Pacers' half. Belineri took the ball at this time, and Dj Augustine quickly caught up. Belineri was very coquettish and dribbled the ball behind her back, and then passed the ball directly to Li Feng who ran up from the middle.

Li Feng took the ball and George had already come up to defend. Facing George who was approaching him, Li Feng made a simple shot and made a fake move, then dribbled directly towards the front and pressed George to the free throw line.

When he arrived at this position, Li Feng paused slightly and made another shot. George couldn't help but jumped up. Li Feng gently touched George and created a foul.

After committing a foul, Li Feng raised his hand and threw the basketball into the Pacers' basket.

2+1, Li Feng created George's 2+1, and then the Knicks got excited.

The Knicks' bench was full of joy. In the last quarter, the Knicks actually played first and overtook the score.

The Pacers immediately called a timeout. In the Eastern Conference semi-finals, in the seventh and fourth quarters, the Pacers were actually overtaken at the beginning.

The walker must call a pause at this time and must regroup.

80-79, the Knicks overtook the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Pacers were forced to adjust at this time.
