The loss in the first game was a blow to the morale of the New York Knicks, after all, the Boston Celtics didn't look so strong in the regular season, but I didn't expect that in the playoffs, the defense was suffocating, the offense was precise and meticulous, and the regular season and the playoffs were completely different things.

Although most of the media looked down on the Knicks before the game, when the results of the game came out and the Knicks did lose, they all realized that the Skis were still underrated.

In this way, the second round of the Knicks' journey has been overshadowed, and almost no one thinks the Knicks can go further.

Even the New York media, which is dignified in their reporting, has a sense of weakness when it comes to the Boston Celtics.

D'Antoni gave the Knicks an "ideological education" after the game, and the loss of the game was indeed caused by the difference in strength, the Big Four of the Jerseys plus a roaring Tianzun, regardless of fame and strength, far surpassed the Knicks, and the regular season Jerseys made them even inferior to the Cavaliers in prestige, and the Knicks could sweep the Cavaliers, even if they knew that this was a playoffs, they were more or less blindly confident.

In the second game, the Knicks players went all out after receiving the lesson, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, and at the home court of the Boston Celtics, the game was held as scheduled.

The visiting Knicks still fielded their regular season lineup: Corey, Lee, Harden, Thornton and Duhon.

The same goes for the Celtics, who continue to play at home: Perkins, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen and Rondo.

Force!

Jump Ball!

The referee threw the basketball high in the center of the circle.

With a snap, Perkins seized the perfect moment to jump. Winning over Corey also won the opening opportunity!

"The perimeter expands and presses to mark people!"

Rivers looked at the Knicks' defensive position and immediately made a judgment in his heart, this tactic can indeed effectively restrain outside firepower. But is the Celtics just a team that eats on the outside?

Rondo made a block with Perkins, who was pulled to the line, and did not see the active change of defense as expected by the opponent, but directly took a misplaced marking defense, and the person who stared at him was naturally Corey, although the latter could not keep up with Rondo's pace, he still defended very actively, standing one step inside the three-point line, and blocking Rondo's breakthrough line with open arms.

Rondo roamed back and forth on the right flank of the front court. There is too much difference in body tonnage, and it is too laborious to break through, even if it can cause the opponent's foul, it is not cost-effective, and he dribbles and observes the Knicks' defense. For a while, I couldn't find a good way to get out of the ball. He didn't hesitate to choose to single Corey, with a sudden stop and a small step-back jumper.

Sou! Swish!

In the three-point game, the Celtics once again started multiple people in the opening game!

Everyone knows that Rondo can't shoot accurately, but there is no way to get in. Bad luck can only be blamed.

Dujon silently sent out the baseline ball, and after receiving Corey's return pass, he trotted the basketball to the court.

came to the front, Li Feng pulled out from the inside. The defender of him changed from Garnett to Pierce.

Pretending to skim the basket, Li Feng hoisted the basketball into the interior from the top of Pierce's head.

Perkins on the inside is a defensive stalwart. But the Knicks have to get Corey to play a dozen, if not be the main point of attack. It is also necessary to put pressure on the Celtics so that the Knicks' outside line can unleash their firepower to the maximum, and if Perkins ignores Corey and then forms a net with Garnett, the Knicks can directly admit defeat.

Corey received the ball on the left side of the inside line, resisted Perkins hard, and before he was in the best range, he dribbled and fought inward, and was immediately caught by Ray Allen on the left wing and Pierce who recovered it.

Corey immediately passed the basketball back to the top of the arc from the outside.

Sou!

Swish! …,

Taking advantage of Pierce's failure to return to defense in time, Li Feng received the ball and directly projected a three-point shot, which he could still ensure a high shooting rate with this kind of empty three-point shot.

"Back to the defense!"

Just scored, Li Feng shouted violently, and the Knicks did not leave the opponent with a chance to break quickly.

Rondo had the ball, and this time it was Garnett who came up to block the pick-and-roll, and he still couldn't find room to break through under the more flexible Harden's switching defense. Passing the ball to Pierce, who was stranded on the perimeter, he began to run off the ball with Harden.

Pierce held the ball and forced Li Feng, Mr. Truth relied on his speed and strength to rush from the right wing to the right side of the basket in the low post, and Li Feng constantly pressed his chest against the opponent.

His hands were also constantly waving and interfering, and he was stuck in the in-cut line.

Boom!

Sideways forced hook shot out, Li Feng leaned his back against Mapils, jumped up and grabbed the first rebound of the game.

The Celtics' ability to run is absolutely outstanding, and they have been careless in their defense and very quick to drop off in the playoffs.

"Marcus, catch the ball!"

The basketball was given to Thornton, Thornton was blocked by Richardson outside the three-point line, and immediately passed the basketball sideways to Li Feng, who hoisted the basketball into the left side of the interior again, he must make full use of Corey's point, after passing, immediately slipped from the right wing without the ball to the bottom line, with the help of Harden's blocking and dismantling temporarily shook off Pierce's defense, slipped to the other side to receive Corey's return pass, suddenly stopped sideways, jumped up and prepared to jump.

Sou!

Perkins had to come up to defend, but Li Feng had the audacity to pass the ball over his head, and the unguarded Corey received the ball, slammed it sideways with one hand, and beat his chest demonstratively to the camera after landing.

Rivers watched the Knicks' easy offense, and still had an indifferent expression on his face, but he already felt something bad in his heart.

Before the game, Rivers thought that the morale of the Knicks would collapse directly in the last stop, but he didn't expect that today's Knicks seem to be more like a team.

"Raja, strengthen the breakthrough!"

"Kevin, you play me more aggressively!"

Rivers made two gestures to the inside of the court in quick succession, and the setup quickly worked.

Rondo broke through and tore at the Knicks' defense, and although he was difficult to shoot by the Knicks' rotational defense, he was able to find more passing space. Splitting the ball to the bottom line, Ray Allen took a step forward to shake off Thornton's defense before receiving the ball, and made a successful shot.

……

Everyone can feel the change in the Knicks, and the defense is more aggressive. Li Feng was also more resolute when attacking, which caught the Celtics a little off guard after the opening, but they quickly adjusted their offensive and defensive strategies, their offense was indeed not vegetarian, and in the second half of the first quarter of the game, the Celtics caught up, except for a previous advertising timeout, the coaches of both teams did not take the lead in calling a timeout.

Li Feng passes. Corey received the ball and passed it back, passed it back again, and after many times of reversing the ball inside and outside, Li Feng suddenly accelerated and broke through the Pierce defense after receiving the ball again. He made an easy shot near the free-throw line to extend the margin to three points again, 19-22.

Force!

Rivers had to call a timeout, and Li Feng's problem was not solved. Celtic's game tonight is going to be very difficult, and he muttered to himself:

"The Knicks are really the team of this Chinese kid!"

Li Feng's shot today was too decisive. As long as you find the space to shoot, you will not hesitate, and so far you have scooped up eleven points with four of six shots.

"Paul, it's enough for you to just pay attention to Li Feng's outside shots, and don't care about his breakthrough. Your teammates will help you! ”

Li Feng's current performance is actually expected, after all, this is the most important force for the Knicks to beat them. Pierce knew it. …,

It's just that I can't help but think that the team's two All-Star forwards can't scoop a rookie, and I can't help but feel a little unconvinced. Of course, Pierce was thirty years old, and he knew what he had to do.

After the worst, Rivers stared at Kevin Garnett, the core of the team, and said solemnly:

"Kevin, your aggressiveness is far from enough, since Li Feng wants to attack wildly, let's put a little defensive pressure on him!"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, boss, he can't stop me!"

Garnett swore by it.

……

"Well done, that's what I want to see you the most!"

Li Feng's performance today made D'Antoni very satisfied, but he still couldn't help but tell again,

"No matter who you defend against, play more aggressively for me, no one on the other side can stop you!"

With nearly ten years of rich experience in his mind, it was easy to judge the other party's adjustment, but no matter how he adjusted, Li Feng had to be more aggressive.

"Eddie, don't let Garnett get close to the basket easily, and James, you have to keep our rebounds firmly guarded, otherwise our offensive efforts will lose their due effect!"

D'Antoni finished the next task in a few words, and everyone was in place, "Marcus, don't let your opponent easily break through, Chris, you are the same, even if the defense is out of position temporarily, you must not give up the defense, and also, give more help to the striker in attack, control the ball, break through, etc., as long as you can do it, give me my best to do it!" ”

……

After playing the court again, Garnett's flexible running position was stuck, he took the initiative to reach out for the ball, received a direct pass after Rondo's shaking, dribbled the ball, and suddenly hugged the ball and turned around and stepped around Li Feng's defense.

When counterattacking, Li Feng received Harden's breakthrough ball, and also made a strong layup, his throwing, coupled with better strength, took a big advantage on offense, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

……

With the help of Perkins's blocking, Rondo quickly broke through Corey's defense, suddenly leaned back against Corey, but passed the basketball to the back of the side of the body, Ray Allen's just right off-ball running, catching the ball, and layup, the whole process was almost done in one go, and Rondo's delicate passing with eyes on the back of his head also greatly improved the team's morale, and the spirit of the audience at the scene was also a lot full.

"It's really a natural point guard material, but it's a pity that it's too late to take charge alone!"

Li Feng felt sorry for Rondo in his heart, but his hands were not weak, and after receiving Thornton's pass in the front court, he used Corey's block to suddenly change direction and accelerate into the inside line.

"This guy's speed is really not slow!"

Li Feng took Garnett to the bottom line, suddenly reflexively stepped away from the defense, and threw the basketball to the front of the basket with one hand.

Syllable!

When Garnett heard the sound and turned around, Corey had already landed, and a wonderful aerial relay made the volume of the scene a lot lower again, and Rondo was in front of Corey's tank, and the defense was not even as good as a piece of paper, so he simply dodged and gave up.

"Feng, I like your passing more and more, and I like you more and more!"

Corey also showed a rare smile during the game, reached out and slapped Li Feng fiercely, and the depression of the last game had already been swept away.

"I don't want to lose to my opponent, and neither do you, Eddie!"

Li Feng gave his partner a thumbs up.

"Of course!"

Corey stepped back, his eyes locked on Perkins.

"Damn!"

was actually played by the opponent first in an air relay, Garnett was very unhappy, but what made him even more unhappy was Li Feng, who directed the air relay this time, "I must teach you a lesson!" ”…,

However, if you want to teach a lesson, you have to wait until Li Feng breaks through to the basket!

……

Garnett responded high and suddenly passed the ball to Pierce, who received the ball and hit a pull-up jump shot near the left baseline.

Li Feng took Garnetra to the high post, received the ball and passed diagonally to the bottom line, Thornton received the ball and broke through Ray Allen's defense, facing Perkins, who assisted in the defense, played a time difference, jumped up and hit a layup.

Both sides have made targeted adjustments, and have also had good results, Garnett played tougher on the inside, and Li Feng successfully attracted the opponent's defensive center of gravity, constantly passing good balls, this situation not only continued in the first quarter, but also continued to the end of the halftime, Li Feng's two key three-pointers suppressed the opponent's counterattack momentum, and the successful lead ended the first half, 60-56.

"You've got a four-point lead, boys, good job!"

The first thing D'Antoni said when he walked into the locker room was to cheer up the players, a result that may have come as a surprise to the Bostonians, but in D'Antoni's calculations, Li Feng's 20 points in the first half played a very key role, and he also had nine assists.

Obviously, Li Feng's play is more effective than Corey's ability to restrain opponents, and it also amplifies Corey's threat, and then these two people are in unison, and the other outside players have more room to move, which can give full play to the Knicks' strongest combat effectiveness, although it is not D'Antoni's small-ball tactics, but something similar to the twin tower tactics, and it is not his own arrangement, but Li Feng's deliberate guidance, but, in order to win, D'Antoni can only give in...... Of course, it is not an outsider whether it is painful or happy or painful and happy in this submission. (To be continued.)
