Chapter 157: Ignite**
> the intensity of the game was far greater than people imagined, and in just the first quarter, taking advantage of the few minutes of rest before the first and second quarters, TNT commentator Charles Barkley quickly took a few deep breaths, which made the former superstar feel a little out of breath.
If it weren't for the opportunity to breathe more air, Barkley would have been worried about whether he would faint from lack of oxygen when the game started.
"Kenny, who do you think will win?"
Taking a break, Barkley's mouth was not idle, and he asked Smith.
Smith smiled darkly, the two had asked each other this question many times, and he analyzed it very cooperatively:
"From the perspective of the situation, the two sides are evenly matched, and the Knicks' offensive fluency is no worse than the Suns, the Suns rely on Steve to launch a fast break, and the Knicks' Li Feng also plays the same role, however, the Suns are much stronger than the Knicks."
Smith's words speak for themselves.
Although the score of the Knicks and the Suns is not much different, everyone will subconsciously be optimistic about the Suns, the Suns have been a strong team in the West in recent years, and the Knicks have always shown themselves as fish belly figures, and it is normal for Smith to think so.
"But I'm more optimistic about the Knicks, do you want to take a gamble?"
Barkley's smile was also sinister, and with the fat on his face, it was as obscene as it was.
Smith's head swayed like a rattle, he wasn't stupid, he didn't have a problem expressing his opinions, gambling would kill people.
Due to Nash's age, he has also realized that the course of this game will not be easy. Therefore, with his own team leading, Suns head coach Kentry put captain Nash on the bench and let Nash get plenty of rest.
However, for the Suns, Nash's departure will not immediately weaken the team's offensive ability. Because it was Barbosa, known as the Brazilian lightning, who played for him.
This small player is also a headache.
The Suns took the lead in substitutions, and D'Antoni didn't make any major changes on the Knicks' side. D'Antoni was very pleased with the team's performance in the first quarter, and the average age of his team is not too old, let alone physical. So, without any major problems, D'Antoni simply traded Serge Ibaka for Eddy Cory, the slowest player on the pitch. Ibaka's athleticism and defensive ability can share a lot of the pressure on Li Feng.
Nash's departure has made the Suns' current offense more reliant on individual players.
Among them, Stadamire on the inside became the team's first choice for offense, holding Li Feng and taking over the basketball from Barbossa. The two began a new round of competition.
The collision inside the body seems to be about to create sparks that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
"You can't do anything without a referee!"
He nagged about the referee letting go of Stadamyer's foul just now, but Li Feng's hand was not idle. Pushing, pulling, pinching, pinching, as long as it's a small action that can be seen on the street. Li Feng was ready to try it on Stadameyer.
Although Li Fengdi's movements were small, the strength he used was not ambiguous at all. Every now and then, he felt a pain in one part of his body, and Stadameyer was furious. But now he is no longer the rookie he was when he was a newcomer, and since there is no referee's whistle in his ears. Stoudmayre could only endure it.
What made Stodameyer even more annoyed was that his performance was not as good as Li Feng's. And the vast majority of the team's 37 points in the first quarter were scored by outside players.
This made Xiao Si, who wanted to make a splash this season, very uncomfortable.
"This ball. Hit it anyway! ”
With this belief, Stadamire dribbled the ball and began to carry it inside. …,
If it is replaced by other players, Stoudeyer's brutal style of play will not be able to withstand it.
But in the first quarter, Stadamire suffered a lot from Li Feng, he was not brainless, and he understood that it was not wise to carry the opponent alive.
So, in this round, Stodameyer tried to change his play.
Stoudamire, who has always liked to end the battle with a dunk, went against the norm this time, carrying Li Feng, who was constantly squeezing him, with his left shoulder, and raised his right hand high, which was actually a standard action of a center hook.
Li Feng was also stunned by Stadameyer's sudden hook hand, and his movements involuntarily slowed down. Hook shots are very difficult to guard against, and it is even more difficult to block opponents.
Now, Li Feng's movements are stalled by distraction, which makes him unable to pose an effective threat to Stadamire's shot for the time being. At present, when Stoudamire rose to the highest point, he gently flicked the ball out.
Although Stodamire's right hand shooting did not come under much defensive pressure, even in weekday training. Stadameyer didn't use a hook shot too much, and now he suddenly used it in the game. Its crosshairs can be imagined. As soon as the ball left the tip of his finger, Stoudeyer already knew that it was unlikely to go into the frame.
Therefore, as soon as his toes landed, Stadameyer suddenly put pressure on him to break through Li Feng's defense line and make a self-throw.
It's a pity that it doesn't go into the field, and Stadamire is not the only one on the pitch.
Li Feng, who has worked a lot on defense, also made it clear that the ball would never fall into the basket after passing his own judgment.
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Li Feng suddenly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, his hands spread out, and his legs bent slightly.
With a move that could fully write the card slot textbook, he blocked Stadameyer behind him.
The basketball bounced on the rim a few times, as the two had expected, and finally reluctantly fell out of the basket. At the same time, although he was stuck behind Li Feng, Stadamire did not
To compete for the rebound, he forced his jump and stretched out his hand to touch the basketball as long as he could.
Stadameyer's long arms have reached the limit, but there is still Li Feng between him and the basketball.
Li Feng is not a good person, and he knows that there is a guy behind him. Li Feng didn't leave Xiaobawang with any chance.
As soon as he stretched out his arms, he took the basketball into his arms, and Stadamier behind him could only return in vain.
Despite being just a rebound, it also meant that Li Feng had the upper hand in this contest with Stoudamire.
It seems to be in response to that bodybuilding move that Stadamyer did to himself in the first quarter. At this time, Li Feng clasped the basketball tightly with both hands and whistled in front of the little bully. On the face, undisguised arrogance.
“***!”
When the whistle reached Stadameyer's ears, an American curse burst out of his mouth.
Turning his head, he ran to his own half.
Success and defeat, Stadameyer understands this truth.
Nash was absent, and the defender was replaced by the shorter Barbossa. The difference in height gives Dujon a wide field of vision, and his teammates' running positions are all under his nose.
Although he has only just recovered, the tacit understanding between Li Feng and his teammates has been slowly cultivated, and Du Hong did not make any gestures. But just by looking at him, Li Feng already understood what the other party meant.
Shake off Stadameyer, who was entangled with him, and move directly to the outside.
Obviously, Li Feng is preparing to build a wall for Du Hong.
"Be careful, Lin Andro!"
As soon as I saw Li Feng come up. Stadameyer understood what his opponent meant. …,
Looking at Barbossa, who was still facing away from Li Feng, Stadamire couldn't help but remind him when he came out. However, the blocking and dismantling tactics have been able to "run rampant" for so many years. How can it be cracked with a single sentence?
Barbosa hadn't yet reacted to his teammates' need to be careful about what he was doing, when he felt a darkness on his right side. It was as if something was obscuring the lights of the stadium. And at this moment, Du Hong, who had been dribbling the ball, also suddenly started.
Barbossa wanted to chase. But Li Feng, who was like a high wall, was standing beside Barbossa, and Barbossa had no other way than to bypass it.
Fortunately, Stadamire has already brought it up, otherwise just this one block, Dujon would have had enough time to rush inside and kill the Suns' defense.
When he met Stoudamier, the speed that Du Hong had already raised dropped to the lowest point again. But Stadameyer did not stop Dujon's joy at all, and the smile of his opponent's bearded bush always made Sadameye feel that there was some conspiracy waiting for him.
It is said that women's sixth sense is very effective, but sometimes men's are not bad. It's a pity that the reason why a conspiracy is called a conspiracy is that it can't be prevented.
As soon as the basketball passed between Stoudamire's legs, the little bully knew that he had become a spectator in this offense and defense.
When Du Hong walked around his side, Li Feng didn't care about Barbossa, who was standing in front of him, but immediately cut down, ready to receive the pass from his teammates.
Running is always the most important part of a team that focuses on running and bombing. And Li Feng's timely cut also created an opportunity for the team's offense.
After receiving Du Hong's imaginative pass, Li Feng was in front of him.
As for Barbossa, who was following him, Li Feng had completely ignored him. After two big strides, Li Feng rose into the air. At this moment, Barbossa suddenly had an illusion, as if the backs of Li Feng and Stoudamire coincided at this moment.
Hill, a veteran who was reborn in the Suns, often staged dunk performances in games, but when Li Feng jumped, he stopped himself when he wanted to help his teammates make up for the defense.
At this point, Hill can't think of any other outcome than adding an unnecessary foul to himself and sending the opponent to the free throw line.
Caps?
Look at the height of your opponent's jump, and the muscles that bulge in your arms. Hill is well aware that he will only be a supporting player in this week's top 10 goals when he rushes forward now.
"Bang Bang ......"
Under the gaze of everyone, the ball passed through the net and slammed into the ground, as if it had smashed into the hearts of the spectators at the West Stadium. And the excited Li Feng made a pull-up on the basket, and then reluctantly let go of his hands.
And what greeted him was a chest bump from Du Hong.
The flame of passion has been gradually ignited! (To be continued......)
