Chapter 569: With You Also Equipped 13?
The Knicks won 23 straight games against their fellow city team, the Nets, but the loss of one Dragic was arguably a huge loss.
The news given by the team doctor is not optimistic, and Dragic needs to rest for at least half a year, which means that this season, like Rose, will be reimbursed for the whole season.
Without Rose, Tyberdu had to let Belineri start, with the support of Li Feng's super firepower point, and Dragic's bravery, the Knicks can be said to have eliminated the impact of Rose's absence, but one less Dragic, the Knicks will be sharply reduced both offensively and defensively.
And most importantly, how should the lineup be adjusted?
Point guard on Livingston can be on top, but Livingston plus Belineri?
These two Li Fenglai were planned substitutes, but now they are both starters, and they may be the weakest guard starters in the league?
Li Feng came to Livingston with a tenacious style, coupled with his height advantage, he can play the role of a surprise soldier, but as a starter, he also has a certain strength, and he can partner with Belinelli, and the impact ability and projection ability of both of them will be reduced, which completely plays a role in affecting the Knicks' tactics!
In the next two games, Tyberdu used a two-man partnership to start the backcourt, against Charlotte Bobcats and Philadelphia 76ers, but the Knicks suffered a rare two-game losing streak, ending a 23-game winning streak at once.
Li Fenglai's two teams are teams on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Knicks are not afraid of Li Feng, but in the game, the Knicks are really not strong on the outside, Livingston is not good at projection, and the Knicks only have two three-pointers Li Feng and Belinelli, and Belinelli does not have too strong active offensive ability. And Li Feng was caught by the opponent layer by layer, cutting 50+ in two consecutive games, but the Knicks were upset in a row, suffering Li Feng's second consecutive defeat of the season.
Li Feng is not having a good time, but Griffin, who is also a rookie in 09, is very comfortable, averaging 21.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in the last two weeks.
At this time, the Knicks met the Clippers again, so they faced reporters before the game. Grid then issued a war letter:
"I know. I wasn't good enough before, Li Feng is really a very strong guy. But that's because I haven't adapted to the game yet. It's different now, I've been here for a long time and I'm not a guy anymore. In the face of Li Feng, I think I have more means and ideas. I'm not saying I'm better than him. Actually, there's no one better in the league than him, but I can play games that surprise everyone. Today, Li Feng will not be as relaxed as half a month ago, perhaps, he is afraid that he will have to taste the taste of failure today. โ
The Knicks have become fat now, and everyone wants to take a bite when they see it, the Knicks' longest losing streak this season is two consecutive defeats, and if the Knicks can lose three in a row, Griffin must be very happy.
When the reporter relayed Griffin's challenge, Li Feng replied very simply:
"Let's fight!"
The pre-game atmosphere was also infectious, and at Madison Square Garden, Li Feng was greeted with a landslide cheer when he entered, and his No. 0 jersey fluttered everywhere as if it were a flag.
Facing the outstretched arms of the fans, Li Feng opened his hands and high-fived them, and nodded to the fans on both sides at the same time. Fans around the tunnel's tunnel are draped in his No. 0 shirt.
After two consecutive defeats, the Knicks also adjusted their lineup, center Cousins, power forward Monroe, small forward Li Feng, scoring guard J.R. Smith, and point guard Livingston.
J.R. Smith, who has a stronger offensive ability, replaced Bellenelli, and the point guard is still Livingston.
The Clippers' lineup is the same as before, with center DeAndre Jordan, power forward Blake Griffin, small forward Matt Barnes, shooting guard Jamal Crawford, and point guard Eric Bledsoe.
Although Li Feng is a small forward, at the beginning of the game, he and Griffin faced off!
The jump ball is exactly Griffin and Li Feng!
Standing in the midfield, Griffin looked at Li Feng and said unconvinced:
"Li Feng, you said you have 206? It's definitely fake, I'll be honest, I'm only 206, but you definitely don't have 2 meters, you lied. โ
Yo, this guy pretends to be 13 very well!
Li Feng said calmly:
"I'm only 30cm, you should be 13cm."
At this time, the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball up.
Griffin was in a hurry to show that he was about to jump as soon as he bent over, but he watched as someone jumped up just as he bent over.
Li Feng's bullet speed ranks first in the NBA!
Livingston laughed twice when he got the ball, and J.R. Smith turned his head to look at him, explaining:
"That guy has a good feeling today, he's going to fight against a Tyrannosaurus rex!"
Bledsoe was listening intently to Livingston's words, the ball suddenly flew out, Li Feng jumped the ball and quickly rushed forward, Griffin followed him, according to Negro's request, Jordan should wrap him.
However, Li Feng advanced too fast in the first ball, and Jordan was still one step apart, and this step was life and death.
The ball quickly flew to the top of Li Feng's head, he received the ball and fell to the ground, turned around and stuck to Griffin to enter the basket, raised and waved it out with one arm, ignoring Griffin next to him, it was directly a violent dunk, arrogant to the extreme, and contemptuous of Griffin to the extreme!
Where did Griffin expect someone to play so unintuitively? Everyone is not in place, why are you dunking so quickly?
Bledsoe skillfully dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he motioned to Crawford and Matt Barnsrula, calmly passed the ball to Griffin, and then watched his teammates perform on the inside: This is a bloody silent confrontation, don't you mean that there is only one core Griffin? Okay, then let the core do it yourself, and when the team keeps failing, you know who should be the core.
The blood cloth ability is top-notch in the NBA, and the potential is endless, but he is not convinced by a guy like Griffin at all, if Li Feng is the boss, it will be almost the same!
Griffin didn't know there was such a thing, he was just happy, and now Bledsoe seemed to be a lot more sensible. Turn around and give me the ball, hey, that's a good thing.
The Clippers players gave Griffin a good chance to play alone, and when he got the ball, everyone pulled inside. The Knicks players also cooperated and followed, Monroe also went to defend Barnes, and Li Feng was guarding inside, what else did they have to make a fuss? Is there anyone in the league who Li Feng can't defend one-on-one?
If Griffin had known what the Knicks players were thinking, he wouldn't have gone on offense so easily.
Griffin squeezed back, and Li Feng retreated. He wanted to know what Griffin was going to do. Li Feng stepped back. Griffin squeezed back again.
After retreating several steps in a row, Li Feng was a little impatient, what is this kid going to do?
Li Feng didn't see Griffin's action because the referee's whistle blew.
A shrill whistle shattered Griffin's dreams of back-thrusting. He had always heard that Li Feng was the most powerful person in the league and the best at dealing with back-to-back singles. Today he made a move. It doesn't feel like that, you see, didn't Lao Tzu push it under the basket?
Clippers head coach Nigro nearly blew his lungs out of Griffin's brain-dead violation. Since he worked as an assistant coach. I haven't seen any player who planted this trick, and Griffin opened his eyes. However, considering that this kid is a rookie and it is forgivable to make mistakes, he swallowed the roar that had rushed to his throat, forget it, guy, he should be more tolerant.
Facing the champion of the same year.
Li Feng showed unprecedented excitement, and he saw clearly that it was excitement and not fighting spirit, and fighting spirit was aimed at opponents who were about the same level as himself.
Livingston saw what Li Feng meant, passed the ball in, and motioned for Cousins to pull it out.
Jordan hesitated and decided not to follow Cousins.
Stay on the inside to trap Li Feng, he is an old bird in the NBA, and he is very jealous of Li Feng's ability.
Griffin's ability he knows that the defense is not a hole is already a very polite evaluation!
With Jordan in front and Griffin in the back, Li Feng is actually not afraid, but he knows that it will definitely take a lot of effort to break the bag between these two people to score.
It's a game, and it's just begun, so why take it so seriously?
Li Feng pushed back, further attracted Jordan's bag, and threw the ball out to Cousins in the open space.
Cousins is completely empty, and if this kind of ball can't be thrown, then he doesn't need it, so let's call the retired Shaq.
4-0, the Knicks lead.
Griffin was excited to defend against Li Feng, and he muttered to Li Feng as he ran forward:
"Li Feng, why don't you give it a try with me? I heard you're good at the penalty area? Ha, I don't see it, why did you pass the ball just now, are you afraid of me? Really, my sealing is very skillful, you are a smart person, Li Feng, otherwise you would have been miserable just now"
Li Feng was speechless, the Griffin guy is really dead, the trash talk kung fu is not bad, it seems that it is not good to teach him a lesson, he doesn't know that the pot is iron!
Bledsoe hoisted the ball to Griffin again and waved his teammate away.
Crawford ran out of the open space with the help of Jordan's cover, and when he saw Bledsoe ignoring him and still passing the ball to Mr. Champion, he was a little angry, if it weren't for the fact that Bloodcloth was his little brother, the grumpy Crawford would have started to bite people a long time ago.
Even so, Crawford was unwilling to swallow this resentment, and he asked Brad, "Brother, don't you see that I am in a good position?" โ
Bledsoe said calmly:
"It's the team's arrangement, don't you see it? The team wants to develop Blake, even if the team loses, as long as he can grow. Listen to me, don't worry, let Zhuang Yuanlang come first. โ
Of course Griffin is coming, he accidentally made a five-second violation just now, this time he paid attention to this, and pressed his back against Li Feng's lower abdomen with his shriveled buttocks, and he silently counted the time in his heart, 1, bump it, 2, bump it again, 3, hit it hard, 4, ouch hit it empty
Li Feng endured the not huge impact force of Griffin, and retreated again and again, but this kid hit an addiction, and 12345 was still counting.
Taking advantage of Griffin's intoxication with the back push, he took a step out of the way and flashed Griffin directly.
Griffin staggered back two steps to stabilize his figure, and the referee whistled again, beep! Walking offences.
Negro's head throbbed vigorously, and he sat down again after standing up, muttering in his mouth:
"This guy is still too tender!"
At the start of the game, neither team's playmaker played much. Instead, he started to hit the inside point. Livingston arrived at the frontcourt, didn't look at his teammates, and directly sent the ball to Li Feng, JR Smith was still running desperately with his head stuffy, Livingston didn't care, and when he staggered by, he gave him a thorough explanation:
"JR, stop running, watch the Tyrannosaurus rex teach that little guy a lesson."
Nine of the ten people in the audience knew that Li Feng was going to give Griffin a political and physical education class today, and only one didn't know, and that was Griffin.
This time, Jordan didn't dare to stay on the inside line to trap Li Feng. When Li Feng just got a pass from Livingston, he wanted to come up. As a result, Li Feng raised his hand to pass the ball to Cousins, and the frightened Jordan hurried to defend Cousins in the empty position.
There is no one on the inside, only Li Feng and Griffin.
Facing the defense of the so-called White Demon Beast, Li Feng thought about it and didn't play false. Protecting the ball, he cocked his ass back. The legs are stepped back as if they were equipped with a motor. "Bang Bang" pushed Griffin directly to the basket in a few clicks.
When he arrived at the basket, Li Feng put away the ball and took his right foot as the axis, and his body turned clockwise. Griffin hurriedly moved his body to the right to block Li Feng's shot line.
In this moment. Li Feng turned his back to Griffin again, and his feet slammed on the floor, and the whole person bounced up at high speed. When he took off, Li Feng struggled to twist his shoulders. Changed his back to the rebound to a side pair, grabbed the ball with his right hand and drew a circle outward, raised his arm and shook his wrist, and sent the ball into the hoop accurately.
Griffin watched in frustration as the ball fell from the net, and he didn't even have time to jump before the opponent scored.
Although Bledsoe was very unhappy with the team's support of Griffin and his contempt for him, he was a straight man, and this matter was not Griffin's responsibility, so he did not target Griffin, he went up and comforted: "Hey, it's okay. Blake, this is normal, Li Feng is a difficult guy to deal with, you have to take your time, don't worry! โ
Listening to Bledsoe's encouragement, Griffin reinvigorated his spirits.
Stuck in the box, he asked for the ball again and Bledsoe passed it to him again. This time, Crawford didn't make a hard run and he could see that Bledsoe wouldn't be passing the ball to anyone else until Griffin was off the field.
Li Feng got serious this time, and planned to have a head-to-head battle with Griffin, he arched his right leg and stuck it in the crook of Griffin's leg, stretched his left leg back straight, and raised his right arm horizontally against Griffin's back, firmly holding the position under the basket.
Griffin probed backwards, his leg was stuck and he couldn't make it stronger, and even if he tried his best, he couldn't resist Li Feng behind him. However, he still had a back move, his shoulders swayed from side to side, his left hand was stuck under Li Feng's ribs, his body suddenly turned to the left, and his right hand slapped the ball to get rid of Li Feng.
Li Feng encountered a lot of this situation, Griffin's left hand stuck back and he immediately retreated half a step, and after the other party turned around, he continued to retreat, keeping the distance between the two at about half a step, which was his best reaction space.
Griffin turned around and made a jumping feint, Li Feng was unmoved, Griffin's feint was followed by jumping up and dunking, this is a habit developed through thousands of exercises, no matter whether Li Feng moves or not, Griffin has to jump up and dunk, otherwise the sense of rhythm will be disrupted, and it will be difficult to pass the ball.
Griffin gritted his teeth and tried his best to jump up, holding the ball high above his head with his right hand, and his left arm bent across his chest like an iron rod to push Li Feng, in a vain attempt to jam the opponent.
In college, he stuck his opponent countless times and rode on the opponent to complete the dunk, which was his specialty.
It's a pity that this is not a university.
Facing Griffin's elbow, Li Feng didn't blink his eyes, and stood up stiffly.
The tip of Griffin's elbow was pulled from Li Feng's chest to his lower abdomen, as if a blunt knife had slashed across Li Feng's chest, but he was unmoved, and firmly jumped high towards Griffin.
Two strong men covered in muscular bumps rose from the ground like angry dragons going out to sea, black steel giant arms intertwined with each other, Griffin roared angrily and waved his arms and smashed down, and the whole person turned into an angry King Kong, which was actually to detain Li Feng.
"Silly Fen!"
Li Feng roared and flew higher and higher, his big hand stretched out from under his ribs like lightning, and he aimed at the ball in Griffin's hand and pressed it.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the basketball twisted and deformed between two large hands like iron dustpans. Griffin almost dunked the ball into the hoop out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't resist the slap like a huge wave, his body couldn't keep his balance in the air, and he was pushed to the ground by Li Feng with the ball!
Li Feng ignored Griffin's wolf bรจi, picked up the ball and threw it forward. Livingston and J.R. Smith both went off quickly, Bledsoe and Crawford followed straight up, and Nigro stood on the sidelines and yelled:
"Can't let them fight in a fast attack!"
Livingston picks up the ball, blocks Bledsoe, and passes the ball - "Bang! โ
Griffin was taught a good lesson by Li Feng, and after the first quarter, Griffin actually ate a snack, and seeing this scene, Clippers fans were heartbroken
Out of protection for Griffin, Negro called a timeout to replace him. He saw it. Li Feng is in the future according to his love today, and people are showing a clear attitude to teach the champion a lesson, if he doesn't replace Griffin again, in case today's game gives him a bit of a psychological shadow. That's more than worth the loss.
The end of the White Monster was frustrated. Hill, dressed in his training suit, stood up. Holding him around and whispering something in his ear, Griffin's expression slowly turned beautiful.
Ten minutes into the first quarter, the Knicks were outscoring by double digits 26-14. If there are no accidents, today's game is another big slaughter.
Players from both sides came on the court, and the Clippers replaced a glass man - Grant Hill, Hill smiled at Li Feng and said:
"Feng, congratulations on getting the All-Star MVP, you've done a great job."
With that, he served to Bledsoe.
Hill's smile is elegant and full of sunshine, and he was once the main face of the league's propaganda. Born in a famous family, graduated from a prestigious school, loves charity, and has never had negative news. Truth be told, there hasn't been a player in NBA history who has been so perfect. But he was so perfect, so perfect that God was jealous. Then he was given a fragile ankle.
Li Feng said sincerely:
"Thank you, Grant!."
Griffin was knocked down, Bledsoe was freed, and his fire began to unleash. In the face of Livingston's defense, Bloodcloth moved his feet quickly, and a body changed direction to deceive Livingston, and rushed to the basket like a whirlwind.
Li Feng secretly said, "You kid, when I am a scarecrow, do you use it for decorations?" Lao Tzu is right in front of you, how dare you break through? Bledsoe had just entered the three-second zone, and Li Feng had already pressed it, and he dared to guarantee that if Bledsoe insisted on making a move, he would definitely let the other party eat hot pot.
Bledsoe jumped up against Li Feng, but did not make a shot, but turned and distributed the ball to Crawford on the outside.
Crawford drew J.R. Smith and immediately passed the ball again, this time to Grant Hill.
Hill got the ball, and in the face of Monroe, he didn't fake it and stepped out directly.
Hill's horror includes his first step, he is known as having the fastest first move in NBA history, and even Maddie is willing to bow down!
Monroe Li Feng was afraid that he would break through and took half a step back, but Hill took this step, and the distance between the two disappeared, not only disappeared, but Hill was also parallel to him.
Monroe is also a master of defense, and he did not panic when he encountered this situation, and immediately pressed his body calmly, trying to block the opponent with his strong body.
But as soon as he stepped forward, he hit the void, and Hill had already stepped out again, completely throwing him off.
Li Feng was in the restricted area, JR Smith was Crawford outside the three-point line, no one made up for it, Hill twisted his knee and dribbled to stabilize his body, jumped up handsomely with both feet on the floor, raised his hand and shook his wrist, and simply sent the ball into the hoop.
"Damn, this old guy is so fast!"
Monroe exclaimed in surprise.
Hill turned around and smiled at him, turning and running to the front.
This time, the responsibility of defending Li Feng fell on Hill, Li Feng wanted the ball outside the three-point line, and decided to defeat Hill head-on, although Hill is now old, but his body is healthier than when he was younger.
Hill bent down and spread his arms and kept moving his feet, Li Feng slowly slapped the ball and prepared to hit his back, but Hill saw him doing this, and immediately took half a step back, still keeping his distance, just not giving him a chance to play back, so that Li Feng's strength advantage could not be shown by Li Feng.
Li Feng looked at Jordan on the inside line and shook his head, if he continued to advance like this, he would fall into the bag of Jordan and Hill, and he still had to break through head-on.
To make this decision, Li Feng was about to turn around, but as soon as he turned around, Hill suddenly pounced on the ball in his hand, reached out and poked it on his ball, and picked the ball out.
Li Feng didn't guess that Hill was playing so hard, he had never seen such a superstar, except for AI, AI was always deadly.
Crawford grabbed the ball and Bledsoe teamed up for a fast break, but J.R. Smith was caught off guard and could only block the two with fouls. (To be continued......)
