Chapter 531: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

The Raptors played a small lineup, the Knicks turned around and started to play a small lineup, Dragic came over and passed the basketball to Vucevic alone, and then the four small men scattered quickly, like planets orbiting the sun,

At this time, the Knicks are also a small man lineup, so their offensive activity is quite large.

Dragic vs. Calderon, Kirilenko vs. Kreza, Li Feng vs. DeRozan, Belineri vs. Rose, the two teams matched every point.

At this time, Vucevic immediately passed the basketball to Dragic, who took the ball and immediately accelerated, rushing towards the Raptors' basket.

But the small lineup does not mean that the defensive intensity is poor, and he only dribbled one step over, Calderon immediately stuck to Dragic, and Dragic could only pass the basketball to Belineri.

Belineri's side and Rose are about half a pound and eight taels, but Belineri plays calmly, and Rose jumps out of the way.

At this time, Belineri took the ball and hit Rose, which was also a trademark step forward, and then stepped back to shoot at the opponent's head.

The offense was proactive, and Bellener suddenly came to this point, and Rose didn't defend well, and was easily shot by Belleineri on his head.

With Belineri's shot, the difference between the two teams remained at 10 points, 101-91, and the Knicks still did not succeed in closing the score.

Just when Bailineri made a shot, I saw the Raptors immediately take the ball in the backcourt and advance wildly.

At this time, both teams are small lineups, so once it is time to switch between attack and defense, it depends on the speed of both teams.

The Raptors quickly caught up and thought they had a chance, and Kreiza took the ball and went down two crotches in a row. Then suddenly he pulled sideways and wanted to shoot at Kirilenko's head, although Kirilenko was thin, but he had a strong fighting spirit and defensive muscles. The stick is not good, but he can still defend this kind of flexible attack.

When Kreza's shot was made, Kirilenko immediately flew in front of Kreza, and Kreza's shot was immediately crooked.

That's how Creza attacked, he didn't have a solution, he didn't attack well. He's an attacking poison for his team.

At this time, Kreza's basketball shot missed, and the Knicks got the backcourt rebound, and immediately chased the Raptors' butt.

Just now the Raptors are chasing the Knicks' ass is the first speed, and now the Knicks are chasing the Raptors, not only with speed, but also when the team is advancing rapidly. It can also cross and run, and there is also the consciousness of pulling space to cooperate with each other.

So this is when the Knicks came running. Li Feng directly put DeRozanka near the basket.

Running fast attack can run out of this effect. The Knicks are one of a kind! Dragic's side saw that Li Feng had a position and immediately passed the ball in, Li Feng shook his hand and did not attack himself, but quickly threw the basketball into the hands of Kirilenko on the outside.

Kirilenko is not as physically as good as Kreza at this time, but he is taller than Kreza.

So he took the ball and immediately feintmed and shook it, and dribbled into the Raptors' three-point line. When you shoot, you have to shoot, and Kreza is also a very fierce player, this fierceness is not only about scoring, but also in terms of style. As soon as he saw that the opponent was about to shoot, Kreiza immediately went out to defend fiercely.

Kreza was so fierce that he immediately hit Kirilenko's hand dishonestly, so the referee immediately blew Kreza for a foul.

Kreiza was not wronged when he was whistled for a foul, he looked at the referee nonchalantly and said nothing! Kirilenko went to the free throw line.

At this time, Tyberdu finally reacted, the opponent can play the small lineup, and he can't do anything more desperately, if Parsons is allowed to play the No. 5 position, his team's offense will be more fierce than the opponent, just do it if you think about it, Tyberdu thought so, and immediately took advantage of the timeout to change Parsons to the court.

Hardaway saw that Tyberdu was crazy enough, and he was also on a team of players who could shoot from distance, and he immediately said to the side:

"The Knicks are going to fight with the opponent in the last quarter! There's a good show to watch now! ”

Michelle was also surprised when he saw that the Knicks were on Parsons! Parsons' three-point ability and playmaking ability are simply a must-have ability to play small ball, and then equipped with a group of players like the Knicks, theoretically speaking, the offensive firepower is more ferocious than his own team!

Michelle kind of regrets fighting with the Knicks for offense, but other than that, the Raptors have no other way, and it is absolutely impossible to fight defense with the Knicks? The Raptors haven't played defense in a season, and it's simply impossible to suddenly come out and play defenders at this time?

Kirilenko was at the free throw line, hitting both free throws, 101-93, and the Knicks were in hot pursuit.

The Knicks just landed on the basketball, and the Raptors immediately bit and chased after them, at this time the Knicks and the Raptors were like two hounds, both competing for speed and biting ability, and once one of them was a little slower, he would definitely be bitten to death by the other party.

Calderon came over at this time, continued to play his big heart, came over and used Ed Davis's cover, around the left, around the right, once there was the slightest gap, he took the ball a mid-distance, and immediately filled the score.

The Knicks can't catch up with these 10 points, mainly because the Raptors' shooting rate is still very high so far, the team's offense is still playing very well, and the Knicks have no way to completely contain the Raptors, after all, the heart is in the Raptors' lineup, there are Calderon, Creza, Rose, and DeRozan, these four people are good offensive players when they pull it out alone, and the ability of the four people to attack together is even stronger.

However, at this time, if the Raptors have four offensive players, the Knicks have five, and the Knicks turned around at this time and bit the Raptors' ass and beat it.

And at this time, there was Kirilenko on the court in the Knicks lineup, and the space of the Raptors was completely opened, Li Feng drilled into the inside, there was space all around, there was no obstruction around, and Li Feng was stuck in the low post on the right all of a sudden. Turned around to get the ball, took a step with his back to attack, and as soon as he saw that the opponent was going to wrap up on himself, Li Feng immediately threw the basketball out of the box to Parsons, Parsons took the ball on this side, and Ed Davis was a little out of rhythm, and when he turned around, Parsons passed the ball directly to Belineri in the bottom corner.

Rose went to help defend Li Feng before, and he hadn't come back at this time, and Belineri took a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

"Brush!"

The three points of Belineri have finally arrived, and now the Knicks' performance on the three-point line is gradually getting better, and the open three-point can be grasped, which is something they have not been able to do before.

With Belineri this three-point shot. Director Zhang also immediately said:

"The Knicks must play better offense after Parsons, so the Knicks not only add a high battery on the outside, but also add a hub to run basketball, after Parsons, Li Feng can pass the ball, Parsons can pass the ball. Dragic can also pass the ball, Kirilenko can also pass the ball. In this way, even if the players remain the same. The flexibility of the offense must have been greatly increased, and the transfer of Kirilenko was very timely and in place! ”

When Director Zhang praised the Knicks, the Raptors wanted to speed up, but Dragic delayed Calderon in the frontcourt, and the Raptors could only let Kreiza take the ball and push over.

Crezza possessed the ball though fancy. But the organizational skills are average, and he came over and gave the basketball to Ed Davis first.

Ed Davis didn't respond, he hesitated a little with the ball, and the Raptors' rhythm slowed down. Ed Davis managed to push Parsons away with his shoulder before passing the basketball to DeRozan.

DeRozan got the ball at the top of the arc, the Knicks were also a little trembling, and the ball in Madison Square Garden was also a little scared! Because this guy is so accurate.

It's just that DeRozan didn't shoot at this time, but passed the basketball to Kreza, who ran out quickly.

Kreza took the ball and broke through two steps frantically, and suddenly reached the bottom line and passed the ball to Kreza with poor quality, Kreza was very uncomfortable when receiving the ball, and threw the ball out for three points, but the result was naturally missed.

It doesn't matter if the Raptors played so indiscriminately in the first half, because the Knicks' offense was not good at that time, and they didn't have serious punishments for playing indiscriminately, but now the situation of the Knicks is different, and the Raptors are playing so indiscriminately, and the punishment will come immediately.

Dragic broke through frantically at this time, and asked for a cover from Li Feng when he was about to reach the opponent's three-point line.

Using such a cover, Dragic also rushed to the opponent's three-point line like a madman, and then raised his hand to throw a mid-range.

"Brush!"

Dragic also hit a small mid-range shot, so that the 10-point gap between the two teams that had been maintained for a long time was suddenly shortened to 5 points, Belineri had a 3-point, Dragic had a 2-point, and the Knicks used the awakening of role players to close the difference.

103-98, the Raptors have a 5-point difference left, in this case Michelle is also a little hairy, but he did not call a timeout, but rushed to the sidelines and yelled at his players, at this time the Raptors basically have no adjustment in tactics, that is, the problem of shooting and not shooting, what the players can grasp is the timing and stability of the shot.

The two teams are now competing basically who is more ferocious in attack, and the Raptors are chased to 5 points, and they also feel the crisis.

At this time, DeRozan took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball after half the court, and after getting the ball, DeRozan quickly dropped two crotches to the Knicks' three-point line, and then wanted to dribble a step on the left side, and wanted to throw it on Li Feng's head.

Li Feng was sure that DeRozan was coming again, so at this time, he flew over in advance and covered DeRozan's eyes.

DeRozan's crucial shot was missed, and the basketball fell into the hands of Kirilenko, DeRozan was responsive at critical moments before, almost as long as the team was in difficulty, he could pull the team back.

But now DeRozan didn't follow up for a round, and Kirilenko's powerful pass immediately threw the basketball out.

Li Feng took the ball and rushed to the front, Li Feng was like a ship breaking through the huge waves, breaking the Raptors' defense through a hole, in this case, Li Feng turned around and passed the basketball to Dragic, who was following behind.

Dragic was open outside the three-point line at this time, usually his three-point shot was not accurate, only 29 percent of the shooting rate, the Raptors saw that Dragic was holding the ball, they also ignored it, and suddenly Dragic calmly threw a three-pointer out. The basketball simply smashed into the Raptors' basket.

"Brush!"

Dragic's three-pointer was hit, and Madison Square Garden erupted in huge cheers.

Because of this shot, the difference between the two teams immediately shortened to 2 points, and the Knicks caught up with a wave of three-point shots, before the Knicks were terrible in the first three quarters of three-point shooting, and now once they fired, the difference was close to 2 points.

At this time, although Michelle was almost helpless, he immediately called a timeout, and the Raptors needed to adjust not only the score, but also the tactics.

When the Raptors players returned, Michelle immediately roared from the sidelines:

"This is the last verse! to the last section. Are we going to lose everything we had before? This is the most humiliating way to lose, to be reversed by a big man, but how the media will humiliate us, think about it! ”

"From now on, give me a desperate defense. Delay them, harass them. Foul play against them. We have to have some role on the defensive end, we have to be resolute in our shots, we have to be decisive, we have to have no hesitation! ”

Michelle is at the end of his rope and starts yelling like crazy, and he starts asking for defense. This is enough to show how bad the situation of the Raptors is at this time.

The reality is indeed so bad, the Raptors played so well today, felt so good, and scored 100 points just over 3 points in the fourth quarter. This offense is good enough, and in this case, if the Raptors can't win the Knicks, then the Raptors can't win the Knicks anyway by attacking.

You can't win the Knicks by offense, and the Raptors can't defend against the Knicks, the offense can't compare, and the defense can't compare, what will the Raptors play in the next few games? Then it's gone! I can only fight for dignity.

So today the Raptors have to win, we have to leave the team a reason to play, if we play well offensively, we can beat the opponent, if this reason is not valid, what will the Raptors play?

If the Raptors didn't play well today, it didn't matter if the game was good, but the Raptors played too well today, almost scoring 100 points in the third quarter, and if they lost in this case, the Raptors would be too demoralized.

The Raptors have to fight here, they have to go into battle shirtless, and they have to play with the Knicks! But at this time, Tyberdu was on the sidelines, but he still said:

"See! We also need to be steady, we play steadily, we don't make mistakes, wait for the opponent to make mistakes, the Raptors will definitely make mistakes, I firmly believe that! Today we are bound to win, because even if we are more offensive than them, because our team is better, we are more united, we are one, so it is we who will win today, as long as we play steadily. ”

Tyberdu also asked the team to stabilize at this time, because he saw the eagerness of the opponent, and the Raptors must also be anxious, they can't defend well, and the offense is not allowed to play in full swing to win, and the Knicks are not, the Knicks are more stable than the opponent in terms of tactical system, so stability is more beneficial to the team.

The Knicks chased the score with only 2 points left, and at this time, Director Zhang also said on the domestic side:

"It's really not easy for the Knicks to catch up with this step now, the Knicks played miserably in the first half, the team finally survived, and only found a way to attack in the second half, and scored to the current position one by one, which depends on the team's resilience and the players' adaptability."

"Especially Li Feng, Li Feng shot two from a distance today, but so far he has scored 30 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and 14 assists, this ability to adapt to the game is not possessed by ordinary players, ordinary players have what they are good at and what they are not good at, once they enter the field they are not good at, it will be more troublesome, and Li Feng has almost no things that he is not good at, he is not lazy, he does not break through, Li Feng can still score points by playing low posts and air cuts, which DeRozan can't do!"

Director Zhang is very partial to Li Feng, his preference is obvious, people can see it, but Director Zhang also said well, if DeRozan feels bad, he doesn't have many ways, you must know that Luo Dao Rozan is a player who relies on shooting to score, and his off-ball offensive efficiency is very low.

After the pause, the Raptors also played shamefully and bravely, and the team was still able to take into account some cooperation.

Calderon took the ball over and covered with Ed Davis, Ed Davis suddenly cut into the air, Calderon passed the basketball in, Ed Davis took the ball up and stepped to the basket, attracting the Knicks' defense and then the pass switch was opened, turning back and passing the ball to Kreza on the wing, at this time Kreiza was empty, he took the ball and threw a mid-range.

The Raptors came back from a timeout, and sure enough, it still had some effect, Kreiza scored two points, and the score of the two teams became 105-101, a 4-point difference.

The Raptors are playing well at this time, but the Knicks are not arrogant or impatient, and now the Knicks are being coached by Tyberdu as if they are an old fritter team, and the situation on the court at this time is life-and-death, but the Knicks are handling basketball like an old ball skin when they take the ball.

Dragic came over and gave the basketball to Li Feng, and Li Feng took the ball at this time and the Raptors still shrank inside.

Faced with this situation, Li Feng could have voted, but Li Feng didn't! It's not that he lacks courage, it's that he wants to play more ensemble.

So Li Feng immediately called a cover for Kirilenko, and used such a cover to force Li Feng to break through to the Raptors' basket.

Li Feng broke through here, and the Raptors immediately wrapped up Li Feng, Li Feng was surrounded by people, he could only take the ball back to Kirilenko, and then ran outside and Kirilenko handed the ball to him, and took the basketball back.

Li Feng, who got the basketball back, and Kirilenko were another high-position blocker, Li Feng broke through to the middle again, Li Feng and Kirilenko tortured the Raptors back and forth, and the Raptors' defense suddenly relaxed.

The Raptors are not a defensive team, they can rush out and defend for a while, but they can't last, Li Feng rushes up again, the Raptors leak, the inside space is not blocked, Li Feng makes a layup, and the breakthrough also scores two points. (To be continued......)
