Chapter 609: Domineering Riding Buckle
Howard pounced, but still couldn't prevent the pick-and-roll, Howard's weight was too big, and this size allowed him to take advantage of the inside, but when it came to facing small players, Howard also suffered enough.
Howard's survival allows the Bulls to have weaknesses when defending pick-and-rolls, and it's not terrible to have weaknesses, many championship teams have weaknesses, and the Bulls' weaknesses are difficult to understand because they have problems with their own defensive system, and Howard's arrival has expanded their defensive problems. What makes the bull weaker is weaker than ever.
In this situation, the Bulls still couldn't catch up with the score, and in the second half of the third quarter, the Knicks led the Bulls by 9 points at 75-64.
At this time, Phil Jackson saw that Howard's efficiency was getting lower and lower on the sidelines, which showed that the body of Warcraft was almost consumed, and he immediately replaced Warcraft with Muhammad, and at the same time Gibson replaced Okafor.
Phil Jackson made a pair of interior players first, and at this time the Knicks' Tyberdeau finally made a difference and began a regular substitution, replacing Vucevic, Jones and Livingston.
Both teams switched to a mixed lineup ready to play off the bench, and the Bulls drove the ball. Paul immediately took the ball and Gibson made a high-post pick-and-roll, which was also a high-post block, and Paul and Gibson seemed to understand it a lot.
The main thing is that Paul and Gibson are both very good people, and as soon as Paul walked away with people, Gibson immediately went down, and Paul hit the ground and passed the ball below.
Gibson, who received the ball, did not make a smooth pass this time, but turned around and raised his elbows in front of Jones to shake the ball, and then got up and smashed a dunk into the Knicks' basket.
Gibson's previous games have been quiet, without brilliance, and there are no mistakes.
Now he suddenly jumped out and dunked, and he really hit the Knicks out of reach. And when Gibson dunked it, the bench on the Bulls' side was cheering.
was deducted such a ball, Jones was also a little anxious, and when he turned around, he immediately took the ball and sped on the step to hit it once.
At this time, Gibson pounced very carefully. didn't make any mistakes, gave Jones any obvious chances, Jones felt average at this time, and naturally didn't make a move. Jones misses the ball.
Muhammad protected the basketball and turned back to Paul, who suddenly started the speed and advanced to the Knicks' half.
At this time, the Knicks were also a young team, running fast enough, and quickly returned to defense, and at this time, Gibson came up very ghostly to cover Paul again.
The two men played almost the same move, except that Gibson caught the ball this time. In between the moves, he turned and passed the ball to Iguodala, who was waiting on the baseline. Iguodala took the ball and threw a three-pointer with ease.
Swish! The Bulls also hit a three-point shot. As a result, the Bulls chased 5 points very quickly!
Almost instantly, the Bulls had 5 points, and the difference between the two teams quickly shortened to 4 points.
At this time, the Knicks had to increase the score, and Li Feng came over and habitually called a high-level blocker.
But now the situation has completely changed, and Li Feng came around to find that Muhammad not only pounced, but also followed very closely. At the same time, Vucevic, who blocked and dismantled himself, was also very unintelligent, running a position where Li Feng had no way to pass the ball at all.
Li Feng was slightly delayed outside, and then immediately saw that Iguodala also came up, and the three of them wrapped up Li Feng.
Li Feng reluctantly passed the ball out in the crowd, but the ball was cut off by Paul like lightning.
Paul, who broke the basketball, threw the basketball directly into the hands of Gibson in the front court with a one-handed pass. Gibson is also a non-trivial player.
At this time, he took the ball and did not stop the ball, but played a one-handed change of direction that Parker usually used in front of him, and immediately shook off Jones, who was catching up.
Then take a step forward and get in shape. Then raise the basketball with one hand and "Bang! "A bang, Gibson, this guy is about to dunk.
Gibson scored 4 points in a row and led the team to quickly approach the Knicks, seeing that the difference between the two teams was only 2 points.
The morale of the bulls was like weeds growing wildly, and at this time, the Knicks were a little blinded by the bulls.
Gibson's table was entirely outside of the Knicks' considerations. Also outside anyone's consideration. A character who was originally loose actually did everything in this paragraph, and it was amazing in all aspects. That's it. The Knicks are not easy to play. A player like Gibson can't be guarded.
The Knicks were pressed by the Bulls step by step, and Li Feng hurriedly tried to come over and score two points to stop the bleeding for the Knicks.
But as soon as Li Feng got the ball now, the Bull immediately wrapped it up, and when Li Feng controlled the ball and pulled it to the side. Li Feng himself actually made a mistake, and the dribble hit his foot all at once.
Li Feng made a mistake that he had not encountered in 10,000 years, and the Bulls sent a sideline ball, and this time Paul blocked and dismantled Gibson high again.
This time, no one dared to underestimate Gibson, and the Knicks' attention was focused on Gibson.
Paul suddenly broke into the Knicks' box and flicked back, and Iguodala received the ball outside the three-point line. It was actually another three-point shot thrown out!
"Huh!"
The Bulls' three-pointer hit again, and all of a sudden, the Bulls overtook the Knicks.
On the Bulls' bench, a group of people jumped up excitedly, and the most powerful thing about the Bulls when they hit the small ball was actually a wave.
When they have a smooth hand, they can get a high score in a short period of time and kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
Now the Bulls are a bit of a wave of ideas, and Phil Jackson saw that the team was in good shape, and immediately yelled on the sidelines to let his players take the initiative to find an opportunity to shoot.
Phil Jackson was hoping that the mixed lineup would take the Knicks away in waves, and Tyberdu should call a timeout at this point.
But Tyberdu was on the side as if he didn't see the court, so Li Feng was also angry.
Do you think we can't leave you? Li Feng immediately shouted at his teammates on the sidelines:
"Hold on! If you hold on, there's no problem, everybody holds on. ”
Li Feng comforted his teammates in language, and when he got the ball in the half, he immediately asked for the ball, and after getting the basketball, Li Feng was very bold to go up and force a single by himself, and pushed Iguodala into the penalty area in two steps, pulled it up and threw a middle distance.
But Li Feng didn't shoot at this distance. Li Feng made a mistake here and immediately missed the shot.
But immediately gave the Bulls a chance, Gibson got the rebound under the basket, and immediately threw the basketball into the hands of Paul, who was running wildly in front.
Paul took the lead at this time, a back-to-back dribble dodged Livingston who was coming towards him, and directly hit the Knicks' free throw line, Paul got to this position, and when the Knicks' attention was on him, Paul turned around and threw the basketball into the hands of Jimmy Butler, who came up.
Jimmy Butler took the ball and shot another three-pointer!
The Bulls instantly caught up with another three-pointer, and the Bulls were four points ahead of the Knicks.
was hit by the Bulls with this kind of offense, and suddenly the Knicks were a little hairy. After all, the Knicks are still a young team!
And Li Feng also wants to come up in person to get points, but Li Feng's own hand is not good during this period of time.
As a result, in the latter stages of the third quarter, the Knicks were actually at a disadvantage, allowing the Bulls to completely beat the wave.
Just look at the crazy points on the Bulls' side, as long as they run to the Knicks' half, they will shoot immediately, and the Bulls' shooting rate is particularly high at this time.
The Knicks are in trouble overall, Li Feng has a bad hand, and the Bulls' hand is still skyrocketing. In this case.
At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls' scoring soared, and the Bulls scored 24 points in one go in the last few minutes, while the Knicks only scored 6 points in this period.
So. At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls led the Knicks by nine points at 90-81.
The explosiveness of the Bulls' offense is indeed powerful, and it took a third of the quarter to score 24 points and not only close the previous 9-point difference. It is 9 points ahead of the Knicks.
In the face of the Bulls' sudden stormy offense, the Knicks are a little wilted, they are a young team after all.
On the commentary bench, Jeff Van Gundy saw the Bulls play this offense in one go. It is also not without regret that he said:
"The Knicks have made too many mistakes in this period! They gave the Bulls a chance, and that was how the Knicks were in trouble. ”
Li Feng was sitting on the sidelines at this time, and his heart was all depressed, and he yelled at his teammates on the sidelines:
"Everyone steady, now it's up to us to defend, we must hold on to the defensive end, we are not behind by 9 points, I am not unexperienced more than this, I believe we can come back, as long as we defend well and play hard, we can achieve the final victory."
Others may not be able to say that getting the match point, but Li Feng has reversed too much, even the Pacers 3 - Li Feng has reversed, so Li Feng said so. The Knicks' players all agree with Li Feng's statement out of trust in the boss.
Come back, it is still the Bulls who kick off first, and at this time the morale of the Bulls is at its peak.
Their previous wave was too morale-boosting, and it was a time to come up and play, Paul passed the ball to Hamilton, who came off the bench, and Hamilton immediately sent the basketball to Okafor on the inside.
Okafor took the ball and took a neat step past Vucevic, then raised his hand to make a feint that sent Vucevic flying straight over.
In the first half, Okafor suffered on Vucevic, and in the second half he finally figured out some of Vucevic's temper, and he didn't need much to shake him to have a chance.
So it was a feint, and Vucevic was really shaken off, in which case Okafor got up to end the fight with a one-handed slam.
At this time, Li Feng flew directly from the side, swept over Okafor's head like a bird, pocketed it with one hand, and clicked Okafor's ball in the air at once, and then landed directly to catch up with the basketball.
Li Feng actually blocked Okafor from the side at once, and this kind of blocking action is often used by Wade, and today Li Feng also used it.
Suddenly, Madison Square Garden was in shock, you must know that this is the home court of the Knicks today!
Li Feng blocked it up, and the fans at home immediately raised the atmosphere, "Boom, boom!" "There was cheering on both sides of the pitch.
Jeff Van Gundy and Bill Wharton just had time to say:
"Beautiful!"
Li Feng had already landed on the ground to catch up with the basketball, and then slapped the horse towards the Bulls' halfcourt. The Bulls are good at playing fast breaks, and Li Feng is also very good at playing fast breaks, and Li Feng's impact is incomparable to Paul's.
Li Feng drove across the court like a train. The body tilted past Radmanovic who was catching up, and then faced Gibson, took the ball and lifted the basketball directly to the Bulls' basket.
At this time, Gibson was also ruthless, jumped up and stretched out his hand to foul Li Feng, but he didn't jump as high as Li Feng, and he was not afraid of him when he physically opposed Li Feng, Li Feng raised the basketball with one hand and Gibson with the other.
Li Feng was completely riding on Gibson's body, a big peng spread his wings for a dunk, "Bang!" It smashed into the bull's hoop with a bang.
Just such a violent buckle suddenly detonated Madison Square Garden, and the entire Madison Square Garden fans went crazy.
Because Li Feng is too arrogant this time. It's also too wild, it's completely riding on the opponent's body to dunk, it's completely humiliating and overwhelming.
When Madison Square Garden was in a frenzy, the referee also gave Gibson a foul. At the same time, Bill Wharton and Brown glasses are also a little straight.
Li Feng's talent for dunking is fully demonstrated, and he simply has a sense of jumping and flying beyond human beings.
Li Feng said during the break that he could chase it back, but now Li Feng immediately blocked a violent dunk, which is equivalent to giving confidence to the Knicks and the little brothers at once.
After Li Feng landed, the Knicks and the little brothers also immediately came over to hit Li Feng's chest. Hugs, celebrations, the previous helplessness is completely gone, and now the hearts of the Knicks are full of passion.
Li Feng went to the free throw line and hit a free throw without mercy. The Knicks started the fourth quarter with momentum and tied for two points.
As a result, when the Bulls looked back and tried to score easily in the Knicks' half, they found it impossible.
The defensive quality of the Knicks has suddenly improved a notch, and all the young Knicks players can't wait to eat the Bulls' players when they defend. The bull at this time is already a late bull.
In the face of this high-intensity defense, the Bulls suddenly turned from good times to bad times, and they were a little uncomfortable. Paul also made a mistake when passing the ball, and the basketball was cut off by Parsons.
Although Parsons is thin, he is not small and has a good arm span, so he is very fast when defending, and he can easily break the ball of others.
Parsons won the basketball, glided and dunked, simple but beautiful!
In the case of the Knicks' all-army life and double gates inside and outside, the Bulls were almost defended for 24 seconds this round, and the final shot was missed.
The offense was played, the defense was defended, and the Knicks' morale was even higher. As soon as the Bulls missed, Vucevic immediately picked up the rebound in the backcourt, and then passed it to Li Feng quickly.
Li Feng took the ball and turned around and ran towards the Bulls' half again, at this time Iguodala came over and wanted to delay Li Feng, but Li Feng dribbled away from Iguodala like a butterfly in front of Iguodala, and then hit Okafor under the Bulls' basket like a tank car, and Li Feng pulled the lever through Okafor and then made a layup again.
Li Feng scored again with a dragon and another fast attack.
Such Li Feng has pushed the atmosphere of the Knicks to an extremely high level. The whole Madison Square Garden is like a whistling wind tunnel.
The audience shouted, the audience chanted Li Feng's name, Li Feng stood on the sidelines, raised his hands towards the entire court, and more and more aroused the crazy atmosphere of the audience.
In this atmosphere, Bill Wharton was also impressed:
"Li Feng has now grown into a perfect beast king. He stirred up the atmosphere of the whole court, and it looked like it was not easy for the Bulls to win today. ”
In the crazy atmosphere of Madison Square Garden, Bulls coach Phil Jackson couldn't hold back.
At this point, he saw that time was running out in the fourth quarter, and immediately replaced Howard, who wanted to change the pace of the game.
But Phil Jackson doesn't want to think about it, the Bulls can not lead by small-ball offense, he can change Howard's interior to stabilize the score? Even if Howard can score a few goals in the half, can he defend how many goals he scores?
However, at this time, Phil Jackson had no choice but to play Howard, and then adjust the team to lower the tempo.
Before, the Bulls seemed like a fast-moving fast car, but now Phil Jackson stepped on the accelerator with one foot on the accelerator.
Suddenly the Bulls' rhythm was problematic, and the Bulls were back on the court and back on the inside. Howard struggled to get basketball inside, and the White Monster Vucevic also learned to go around and defend Howard.
It's easy to get around Howard with Vucevich's footsteps, and he's tall and long-armed, and he's a bull. There was no way to get the basketball into Howard's hands through Vucevic.
Howard came up but couldn't catch the ball, and Vucevic used his talent to block Howard's receiving lane.
Vucevic's expression is just an internal entanglement in the eyes of fans, but Jeff Van Gundy looked at Vucevic's expression on the side, and he immediately said with emotion:
"Look at it! What a good group the Knicks are, the previously unknown water cooler guard Vucevic actually learned to defend by the Knicks. (To be continued......)
