Chapter 575: The Green Army Doesn't Die
Jet Jason Terry catches the ball, and the cheers immediately ring out like a monstrous flood.
Although he has been abandoned by the Maverick and is no longer in the same state, he is the most popular among the people who call him the nickname.
To be fair, Terry's career shooting percentage is pretty average on both two-pointers and three-pointers, but the more critical he is, the more trustworthy he becomes, which can only make people sigh at his big heart.
Monroe tracked and entangled Terry all the way, although the latter is a defender, Monroe, a bandit-level deposit, does not have an advantage, and Monroe still started on defense, as long as he can entangle Terry, theoretically the latter has no chance.
But still no one dares to underestimate Terry, because the killer shot that this guy shot in his career is theoretically impossible to shoot, but he just shoots, and every time he shoots!
"In the final moments of the game, the ball went to Terry, three points, hit!"
As soon as Terry got the ball, Monroe immediately stretched out his arms sideways, and he entangled Terry like a big spider, who broke through with the ball sideways, not slow or fast, and his facial expression was natural and freehand, as if he was a white-collar elite trotting. But only when you look into his eyes and see his eyes that exude a cold light like a blade, do you know how murderous the murderous aura in his heart is!
Rondo landed and ran out along the baseline, Terry took his place, rushed to the edge of the box, and then he suddenly put away the ball, flicked a shot and passed the ball again - Monroe's defense was really strong, Terry didn't have the slightest chance in front of him!
Neither Rondo nor Terry were the ones who were actually picked by Rivers, both of them were feints, and this time it was Paul Pierce who got the ball back.
Paul Pierce let out a shout when he received the ball, and he slapped the ball quickly and took advantage of the inertia to take three steps. Li Feng has been paying attention to him, so after Paul Pierce got the ball, he immediately left the penalty area and rushed forward, and he must not let Paul Pierce jump up!
Facing the overwhelming Li Feng, Paul Pierce took two lightning steps in a row, and when he took the third step, he kicked up with his left foot and flew towards the basket.
After flying in mid-air, Paul Pierce suddenly shrank his body, his feet retracted, he bent his knees and hunched his waist, and held the ball tightly between his abdomen with both hands. When he flew to the highest point, his body was close to Li Feng's right hand and then he stood up with the ball in his right hand, bypassing the latter's body, but did not shoot directly, but waited until he flew to the highest point and Li Feng was about to fall. Only then did he throw the basketball support in his abdomen to the basket with a shaking wrist, and once again played a time difference.
"Beautiful!"
Barkley's eyes lit up. Roared:
"Celtic are going to win......"
Paul Pierce's trick does have the beauty of being a villain and an adult. He used the arch of his body to completely protect himself, and at the same time, he bypassed Li Feng's body to make a move, and the biggest Cheng dΓΉ limited the possibility of his blocking-no matter how brave Li Feng was, he couldn't cover with his back, right?
Seeing this scene, many Knicks fans at the scene were immediately heartbroken. Tyberdu looked at the ball that left Paul Pierce's hand with grief and despair: Damn, it's impossible, Li Feng can't block this ball.
Although desperate. But in fact, people with top eyesight like Tyberdeau, J.R. Smith, Barkley and Smith still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, that is, this ball misses, because Paul Pierce's vision is completely blocked by Li Feng's huge body, and he jumped outside the penalty area, and it is not easy to blindly throw and hit at such a distance!
But the appearance of a figure made everyone completely desperate, Garnett, who had been floating silently outside, did not know when he hit the restricted area, he rushed diagonally from the left to the basket, Paul Pierce tossed, and when the ball fell, it just fell into his hands!
Everyone guessed wrong, and the final blow that Rivers arranged was not Paul Pearce, but Kevin Garnett, the king of the Celtics!
Tyberdu couldn't help but sigh, this time he lost convincingly, the Celtics' attack was really flawless, four times in a row, the first three were all feints, and the last attack turned out to be carried out by Garnett, who no one expected.
Just like Garnett's three-point shot in the third quarter, Rivers once again shocked everyone, and these two arrangements are enough to confirm that he is indeed the league's top master of strategy and tactics!
Garnett took a deep breath when he received the ball, he steadied it a little, then jumped up with the ball and confidently sent it to the hoop - the ball was bound to hit because it was so easy that he could do 100 percent of the job when he first touched basketball.
But suddenly, the light above Garnett's head dimmed, and a sound of breaking wind sounded behind his head, and a strong force appeared between his hands, under the impact of this arrogant force, Garnett could no longer hold the ball, and the ball passed directly through his hands and was slapped on the rebound.
"Smack...... Rumble......! β
First, the crisp sound of the palm slapping the basketball, followed by the dull loud sound of the basketball being pressed on the rebound, a strong body hit Garnett's back, a big golden hand with green muscles grabbed the ball in the air and grabbed it directly into his arms, and before he landed, he shook his arm fiercely to the front court, and the basketball flew to the front court like a cannonball!
"Squeak-squeak!"
A shrill buzz sounded, followed by a terrible whistle:
"Forced ...... Force......! β
In the end, Garnett was staggered to the ground by the impact, and after landing, the wolf king's face was sluggish, he turned his head in disbelief, and saw a young man who was as strong as an ancient giant standing in front of him, the jersey fluttering on the back of the youth, and a huge "0" number fluttering with the jersey fluttering against the wind!
"Your time is over!"
Celtic fans were stunned, standing on the seats stupid, and at a loss, many young fans directly couldn't contain their grief in their hearts, and their tears were unleashed!
In the face of such a result, the reaction of the Celtics players was also low, Garnett, who stumbled to the ground, had a blank expression, and he had never shown his feelings on the court, so he couldn't help but clench his iron fist and slammed his angry punch on the floor!
Rondo and Paul Pierce gasped for breath as they stared blankly at the scarlet 94-93 on the scoreboard. Obviously this result is unacceptable!
Contrary to the attitude of the Celtics, Parsons, Kirilenko and JR Smith on the Knicks bench rushed to the court as soon as possible, and they suddenly lifted the tall Li Feng up, Livingston, Monroe and others immediately followed, more than a dozen players hugged together and laughed insolently, and Tyberdu was also laughing, and he and the accompanying team doctor and assistant coach hugged one after another.
The Knicks players finally calmed down a bit after some celebration, and the Celtics players accepted the fact, which was a bit of a surprise, but they were all old birds. Victory and defeat are a common occurrence in soldiers, and it is not an unbearable pain.
However, when the Celtics players and Knicks players stood together, it was still very uncomfortable.
Rivers shook hands with Taberdu and sighed, saying:
"Tom. Congratulations on your 70 wins. β
Tyberdu was now in a state of great pride, and he laughed:
"You've done a great job. Buddy. It's already good! But you may underestimate our goal, we don't just want to win the championship, we also want to create a prosperous dynasty! β
Hearing this, Rivers' respects and blessings were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and he pouted:
"Seriously, Tom. Without Derek and Golan, the playoffs won't be so smooth! β
Tyberdu said disdainfully:
"We have Li Feng."
After speaking, in Rivers's solemn expression, he said another meaningful sentence:
"Now Li Feng has Cousins and Monroe. But what about this summer, while Dolan doesn't care about the luxury tax, others don't want to be the next Harden? β
Tyberdu's face sank, and he sighed silently:
"You're still worried about yourselves......"
β¦β¦
The 2012-2013 NBA regular season came to an end, with the New York Knicks winning the league with a 70-12 record, followed by the Chicago Bulls with 68 wins and 14 losses, followed by the San Antonio Spurs with a 66-16 record.
The playoff standings have also been determined, and the top eight in the East are, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks.
On the West side, San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers.
The Knicks' opponent in the first round was the Milwaukee Bucks.
It is precisely because of such an opponent that the Knicks fought with the Celtics in the last game of the regular season, and there was no need to hide the main team.
Of course, there have been a lot of black eight in recent years, and the Knicks don't dare to be careless, after all, there are two main guards missing, the playoffs are completely different from the regular season, and the Knicks are preparing for the playoffs at full strength, just waiting for the playoffs to open.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, in Madison Square Garden, the main lineups of the Bucks and Knicks stood on the court.
This game was the first stop of the Knicks' playoffs, and it attracted TNT to follow up to broadcast the Knicks' game, but today it was Gary Payton and his good friend Sean Kemp who came to comment.
Before the game, Gary Payton chatted with Sean Kemp, intentionally or unintentionally:
"Man! Not long ago, the Knicks lost to the Bucks, and today the Knicks also did not have Dragic, so today's game is interesting."
Although Sean Kemp was more popular back then, he has long since passed out of breath and can't go crazy.
So now the rain man also said gently:
"Fierce confrontation makes the game look good! Now the fans love it. β
The Knicks lineup, center Cousins, power forward Monroe, small forward Li Feng, scoring guard Parsons, point guard J.R. Smith.
Bucks, center Epaiyudu, power forward Larry Sanders, small forward Ilyasova, shooting guard Mike Dunleavy, point guard Brandon Jennings.
No one expected that in the first game of the playoffs, Tyberdu changed the lineup that he had not played before, the shortest of this lineup was JR Smith 198cm, and the shortest of the others was also 206cm.
However, this lineup does not have real possession at all, and although Parsons assists, Li Feng will definitely take on more responsibility.
Monta Ellis, the main guard on the Bucks' side, missed the first leg of the playoffs due to the flu.
The game was the same, in the opening Cousins jumped ball to defeat Epaiyudu, the basketball was handed to Li Feng, Li Feng dribbled to the Bucks' half alone, and Ilyasova immediately pounced to defend Li Feng.
Li Feng lowered his eyelids, as if he hadn't seen Ilyasova. Without any tactics, he took a big step from the left and broke through and brought Ilyasova to the free throw line, and then Li Feng shot directly at Ilyasova's head.
Li Feng pulled it up and threw it, Ilyasova was not in bad health, and the defense was also trained by Skyles, but he couldn't reach Li Feng's bounce height, so he could only watch Li Feng shoot.
Li Feng put the ball a little with his right hand, and the basketball "brush" fell into the basket at once.
In this atmosphere, the Bucks attacked. Li Feng didn't have any tactics, and he just pulled it out.
Jennings took the ball to the top of the arc and watched his teammates run without the ball on the field, covering each other, and he was in the back direction. Seeing that direction had the best chance, he passed the ball over there.
At this time, Dunleavy was running fast on the court. Suddenly, he ran back to the middle lane.
Jennings took the opportunity to pass the ball to Dunleavy. Dunleavy was close to the basket and turned around and threw a hook hand.
Dunleavy gave the Bucks a start.
The Knicks attacked, JR Smith came over or looked for Li Feng first, Li Feng only got the ball here, and immediately took a step forward and stabbed, and Ilyasova retreated backwards. Li Feng took it back again, and before Ilyasova could stand firm, Li Feng rushed forward in the opposite direction.
Ilyasova twisted in the opposite direction and tripped himself up. Li Feng shook Ilyasova down, took a small step forward, and got up and threw a wiping board at the middle distance.
The ball is in again!
Li Feng made two mid-range shots in a row, and the shots were clean and neat, and the Bucks' habitual one-man defense had no effect on Li Feng.
At this time, Sean Kemp, who was in the commentary seat, couldn't help it and said:
"The Bucks should have another person to defend Li Feng, Ilyasova is not much taller than Li Feng, and no Li Feng can jump yet, if Li Feng shoots like this, the Bucks have no choice!"
Peyton nodded as well, but he glanced at the time and said:
"But it's only been less than a minute since the game started, and I think Larry Drew can be patient."
Payton miscalculated Larry Deru's patience, although this old man is not young, but he is still very angry, and at this time, he saw that his players let Li Feng score with the same means twice.
Immediately Larry Drew stood on the sidelines and began to scold Ilyasova, scolding Jennings, and the two people he scolded were bloody sprinklers.
Old Larry Drew is an old-fashioned coach, he doesn't care what kind of star he is! He is the boss of the team, so he scolds people when he comes up.
Ilyasova is a good boy, and he was scolded at this time, he bowed his head and was silent, Brandon James was scolded by former coach Skels when he first came to the NBA, and now although his wings are hard, he still doesn't dare to openly contradict the old Larry Drew, so he can only endure it on the side!
With anger in his heart, Jennings immediately vented his anger at his opponent, came over again and directly resisted J.R. Smith with his body, and then broke through to the inside of the Knicks.
J.R. Smith can't beat Jennings, who has practiced wrestling, but at this time, the Knicks' defensive intensity is not the same as before. Doorman Roma rushed up to block Jennings' breakthrough lane with a single step.
Monroe was tall and had long arms, and he was able to stand firm here like a parasol to block the basket.
Jennings could only turn around and pass the ball to Sanders on the baseline, Sanders is a rough guy Everyone knows, but this guy is not small, take the ball and see that he is in the three-point line, immediately dribble and take a step back, and then shoot a three-point shot.
But as far as Sanders retreated, in just such a short time, Monroe turned around and was a step away in front of Sanders, Monroe not only had a good bounce and good arm span, but also moved fast and had big steps.
Monroe's defense was already in place, Sanders should have passed the ball in, at this time Dunleavy had already cut in the air, but Sanders still didn't pass the ball, he still looked down on Monroe, he thought that one step away, his height The opponent couldn't defend, so Sanders actually got up and pulled three points directly.
Sanders's three-point shot is upside down, the jump is not high, and the shooting point is not far behind, usually based on the timing of the shot.
And now he's doing it! Suddenly made a big mistake.
When he made Sanders' three-point shot, Monroe flew up and slapped Sanders' three-pointer to the outside of the sideline.
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, Monroe shook the entire court with his defense, and the players of Sanders and the Bucks were stunned by Monroe, and then the old Larry Drew scolded again.
The Bucks player remembered to restart the game on the sideline, and Epaiyudu turned around on the sideline and quickly threw the basketball into Jennings' hands.
Jennings went up to 45 degrees and Dunleavy to cover, and Dunleavy blocked it with a hard bone, and then immediately turned back and cut to the Knicks' basket.
Jennings gave the ball to Dunleavy at the right time, and Dunleavy came up with the ball to attack the basket, and at this point it was to see Monroe come again.
But this time, instead of blocking the opponent beautifully with a block, Monroe made a dizziness. Came over and hit Dunleavy from the side, and Dunleavy missed the shot in weightlessness.
Dunleavy deceived Monroe for a foul, and the ball was even a little biased with "cheating", because Monroe didn't take it himself.
Monroe showed his talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he immediately showed his brainless defense.
Going to the free throw line, Dunleavy hit one of two free throws, the Bucks scored three points, and the Knicks scored four points on two free throws. (To be continued......)
