As the Knicks players said, their pace continues to move forward, and their next opponent is the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets have brought together Anthony, Joe Johnson, David Lee this summer, and Deron Williams and Brooke Lopez to form the so-called Big Five.

Brooklyn is a borough of New York, so after the Nets moved to Brooklyn, the game between the two teams was also crowned a derby gimmick.

In terms of record, the Knicks have an absolute advantage, but this season, the Nets have risen strongly because of the Russian owner's ruble tactics and become a strong team in the East, which also makes this year's "first New York derby" get more attention from New York fans.

There's no shortage of things to see in derby, and this one is no exception.

Although they don't share the same arena as the Lakers and Clippers, the Nets and Knicks are both in the Atlantic Division, and the competition between the two teams is natural.

In an interview before the game, Tyberdu said:

"Our players are full of fighting spirit and we are desperate to storm the Continental Aviation Center stadium and take the victory from there"

Nets coach Avery Johnson is also imperative for this game:

"The Knicks have been doing well this season, but no team can win all the time, and it's probably going to be hard for them to keep up the good form all season, and maybe, from this game on, it will be a watershed moment for them."

The players of both teams also made their respective statements before the game.

In addition to the battle for the team, the two sides also compete for the data list, this season because of the arrival of Rose, Li Feng did not have the perverted data of 30+10+10 per game last season, and the assists fell a lot, but the score currently remains the first in the league, and the Nets' Carmelo Anthony followed with 32.9 points, ranking second on the scoring list.

Carmelo Anthony was once ranked first in the scoring list, but he has not been in good form recently, and he shot 3 of 19 from the Thunder in the last game.

Anton also responded to this:

"Yes, I'm feeling a little tired after a long fight. It also affected my form, but in the New York derby I had to contribute. ”

Li Feng was also interviewed:

"I never wanted to be a top scorer. As a professional, I think the team's wins are more important than my individual performances, so I'm more happy to contribute my assists to my teammates. I'm only going to score and score goals when the team needs me to step up. Of course, in Brooklyn, I hope to be able to shred Mellon"

For such an important game, the media naturally spared no effort to report it.

Most of the media agreed that this match would be a "knife and sword" confrontation and that it would be a very exciting matchup.

Most of these media outlets have done an objective analysis of the two teams, and no one has made direct predictions.

Brussard, an "old friend" of ESPN who has just entered the league, wrote an article in his column "Derby is the real chapter, the Nets will become the Knicks Waterloo", expressing his support for the Nets and his consistent disparagement of the Knicks.

Brussard analyzed in this report that even if the Knicks get Rose, but he believes that the Nets' roster is still much stronger than the Knicks. At the same time, the Knicks, who have won 20 games in a row, are under a lot of pressure and are likely to collapse at any time.

In Brussard's view, a direct meeting between the two teams will undoubtedly end in a rout for the Knicks, where the Knicks' winning streak will also be ended.

Brussard also made a special trip to the article to include a quote from former Knicks player David Lee in an interview:

"We're going to give the Knicks a little bit of color in this game, and whoever they are, as long as they dare to get inside, I'm going to let him know what real defense is."

Regarding David Lee's provocation, as the captain Li Feng also gave a response in an interview:

"If David can hold off Greg and DeMarcus, I can consider going inside and trying his true game"

Li Feng's response also made Knicks fans addicted, although Brooks belongs to New York, but most New York fans agree with the Knicks, and the Nets are just outsiders.

No matter what the players thought, the game was on.

Cousins jumped to win against Lopez, and the ball went to Rose, who reached out to catch the ball, but Delon who had been stuck behind him suddenly bypassed him and grabbed the ball early.

Rose didn't expect Delon to be so arrogant, he hurriedly followed forward to pass the ball again, this move took a step forward to hit Delon in his arms, his right hand holding the ball twisted behind him, and the basketball hit his left hand, at the same time he bypassed Rose and easily rushed over.

David Lee hurriedly got down to answer, Lopez dodged to block Cousins, not giving him a chance to follow, and Monroe couldn't keep up with David Lee.

Delon was also close to the three-point line, he shook his hand to pass the ball down, and David Lee, who rushed into the forbidden court, reached out to take the ball, and took three steps directly to ignite the enthusiasm of the fans with a dunk.

But how could Li Feng let him go to the basket so easily? Li Feng, who followed closely behind, jumped up, and his big hand was raised high like a dark cloud covering the top of David's head, so he could only give him a sturdy hat when he lifted the ball.

David also knew who was behind him, Li Feng is now the number one player in the league, and his offense and defense are extremely perverted.

At this point, it seemed impossible to dunk, and David Lee's best offensive style should have been a pull-up layup, but he didn't do it, and he chose a more correct tactic - passing.

David Lee threw the ball behind him, Li Feng's body blocked his vision, and he could only rely on his feelings to pass the ball, but he felt right, because behind the two was Delon, who had just stepped into the forbidden ground.

DeLong easily received the ball, then bent down and jumped up to dunk the basketball into the hoop, his hands hung on the hoop, his body shook twice like a pendulum, and his lower body hit Li Feng's back hard.

The fans in the stadium cheered loudly, as if high. It's like a tide, in their opinion, this ball Delong delong deducted Li Feng, which is too rare.

Li Feng served to Rose with a gloomy face, and then took a deep look at Delon, who jogged over with Anthony - not to save physical strength, but to be ready to pick up Rose at any time, and DeLong, who was silent before the game, broke the ball and dunked at the beginning, as if he was holding back his strength to deal with the Knicks.

Rose was also annoyed by the ball that had just been stolen and then played a fast break, and he carefully guarded the ball through the half, and Delon did not get a chance to steal.

Li Feng came up to answer the request, and Anthony followed closely behind him.

Li Feng raised his head and looked at Anthony like a leopard, and sighed slightly in his heart.

The Nets' record has allowed Anthony to sweep away the decline, and the defense is very aggressive, and this guy should not be underestimated if he is willing to defend.

Li Feng's momentary trance gave Anthony the opportunity to steal, his body moved, and his big hand stretched out to the basketball in Li Feng's hand, but how could Li Feng give him such an easy chance to steal?

Holding the ball and spinning in place, Li Feng not only avoided Anthony's steal, but also used his body to push away Joe Johnson, who came up to make up for it.

At this time, there was no one in front of him, and Li Feng jumped high and hit three points.

Delon patted Anthony on the buttocks, then smiled:

"Cameron, I'll give you the ball later, you give this little guy a little color." Anthony nodded with a smile and said in a relaxed tone:

"I'll teach him how to break through, but it's better for you to do it."

Delon and Anthony looked at each other and laughed, and the latter's frustration at being hit by Li Feng's three-pointer because he was out of position was swept away in his heart.

Looking at the two of them like brothers, Li Feng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The little general Johnson held his chin with his hand and nodded with a smile, Delon finally looked a little boss, even Anthony was convinced, if David Lee was replaced by Li Feng, the little general felt that the Nets were stronger than the current Knicks.

When Johnson was still thinking about how to get Li Feng's hands, Delon had already passed the ball to Anthony.

Anthony turned around twice in a row and rushed into the inside, in front of Li Feng's eyes, Anthony with his body low and controlling the ball was like a nimble swimming fish, as long as there was a gap, he would drill through.

Cousins came out to make up for it, Lopez's position was empty, but Anthony didn't pass, passing is what a playmaker should do, he's a scorer, a player who aims to score.

And he couldn't pass the ball because Li Feng had already let go of him and went around to Lopez to change defenses.

Cousins stretched out his arms to interfere with Anthony's breakthrough, but the moment Cousins crouched, Anthony jumped. His upper body leaned back slightly, his eyes looked directly at the hoop, and then he flicked the basketball out of the hoop with both hands, and hit a backward jumper.

Li Feng shook his head depressedly, he felt that something was not quite right now, as if the Nets had taken love medicine, and he was a little abnormal.

Cousins shrugged helplessly at Li Feng, he made a mistake in his reading just now, he thought Anthony would continue to break through and enter the inside line, but as soon as he shook off Li Feng, he used a step-back jumper.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Derrick Rose dribbled unhurriedly on the outside, and suddenly started and hit the basket, disrupting the Nets' formation.

Broke through to the basket, Rose split the ball, Monroe received the ball and singled David Lee, Monroe occupied the height advantage and played steadily, so David Lee, who had performed well before, was defeated in the face of Monroe.

The baseline takes a step back, leans back, and projects the basketball with straight arms, and the basketball hits the board into the frame.

After the goal, Monroe and Rose came and clapped their hands.

The fans also cheered enthusiastically, the fans here are not one-sided, there are Nets and Knicks, the two teams are competing for each other, and the fans are very happy to watch.

This is the derby, some fans can't help but think! (To be continued.)
