Chapter 149 There is no reason to be afraid
On March 2, most of the season has passed. The New York Knicks have experienced ups and downs, and have dropped from the edge of the playoffs to the Eastern Conference 14th position. The playoff situation is worrying. *1*1*
After the All-Star, a series of losses made the New York Knicks feel even more depressed. At this time, the Knicks ushered in the challenge of the Portland Trail Blazers at home.
Li Feng had a collision with the Trail Blazers when he was with the Grizzlies. This season they have become a strong team that no team dares to ignore. The star Brandon Roy is getting better and playing as a top star. Aldridge, Webster, Batum and others are also constantly improving. Currently, the Portland Trail Blazers rank fourth in the West. Judging from the record, the two teams are not on the same level at all.
If Li Feng's return battle also fails, the Knicks' final backbone will be crushed. After all, in the previous games, you can make excuses to say that Li Feng is not there and still loses with Li Feng. Perhaps the Knicks will compete with the Nets for the worst record.
However, Li Feng, the last backbone of the Knicks, recovered from a serious injury. Compared with the Knicks' game, the media are more concerned about whether Li Feng can recover. After all, in the Knicks' star black hole, Francis is still an All-Star performance when leaving the Rockets and the Magic, but he starts to be injured and then fails to recover. Li Feng is no less exciting than Francis. In addition, he is an Asian, and some media are even skeptical that Li Feng has recovered from injury.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Under strong pressure, you can also see how strong the Knicks have reached? Can you also test how much fighting spirit and energy Li Feng and his teammates can burst out in such difficult times?
If we can survive this difficult schedule, the Knicks may be able to make a sound attack on the playoffs with confidence; but if the team collapses during this period and leads to a series of losses, it will become very difficult to enter the playoffs!
"No matter what, I must first show my fighting spirit and strength!"
With the rising sun shining on his body in the morning, after three weeks, Li Feng once again confidently stepped into Madison Square Garden. The next schedule is also a severe test for him. Real money and silver can only show a more dazzling light after repeated harsh tempering. There is no doubt about it!
Bang!
D'Antoni looked at the training ground, his eyelids hopped suddenly, and he quickly spoke helplessly to pause the training.
Judging from the training situation, Li Feng is in good condition and he can't tell that he has been injured at all!
At this time, the team is conducting a five-on-five offensive and defensive drill for the whole game. Li Feng has shown a very good condition from the beginning, and his shots from inside and outside are almost unstoppable. Ibaka, who has performed well in recent games, is more like a rookie who has just entered the league. The heart of the substitute is ravaged and almost shattered. {http:

D'Antoni discovered a change. With Li Feng, Harden and Thornton performed very well, and Li Feng could always send basketball to the two of them at the right time.
Harden's empty cut is unstoppable, Thornton's shooting is swept through Yang in a hundred steps, and Li Feng is like a magician, perfectly combining the team.
Suddenly, just when Li Feng chose to break through again, Ibaka made a gambling prediction and stood in advance and almost blocked Li Feng's crazy breakthrough with his strong body. Then the two of them climbed up and fell on the floor. This scene almost made D'Antoni's heart jump out.
"Feng. How are you? It doesn't matter?"
After watching Li Feng being pulled up by Ibaka, D'Antoni hurried forward and asked. He didn't want to see Li Feng getting injured just after he returned, especially Li Feng and Ibaka, the two inside players, otherwise the next difficult schedule would not be as difficult as it was. It was called hell's schedule.
After exercising his hands and feet, Li Feng smiled and shook his head, feeling a little moved at D'Antoni's expression of concern.
"Boss, I'm fine, I'm looking forward to the challenge of the Trail Blazers tonight!"
"expect?"
Thornton, who was standing beside him, asked in a low voice in confusion when he heard this.
Li Feng's ears were very sensitive. Hearing Thornton's whisper, he glanced at him, and then glanced over every teammate, with an extremely firm smile, and said:
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it! In the next period of time, we will encounter very strong opponents. They are all strong teams of this season's playoff level, and they are even the most powerful contenders of the championship. I really hope to play against such powerful opponents. This will be very beneficial for us to accumulate playoff experience. Don't you expect this kind of challenge?"
He seemed to be very sure to make it to the playoffs in his words, but now he is just accumulating experience.
This is not a rude speech or self-comfort. He has such confidence. It is not enough for him to be alone. He also needs his teammates to be as full of fighting spirit and confidence.
"Of course we look forward to it!"
The new arrival of Harden was the first to respond to Li Feng's call. Li Feng has too many characteristics that can resonate with him. During the draft, Harden did not show any disdain for the Grizzlies' selection of Li Feng, but he did not think that Li Feng was the second best. However, now Harden seems that although Griffin is the number one pick in the data, Li Feng is stronger than Griffin.
"We won't give up easily, either!"
"Fight to the end, prove our strength!"
...
At this moment, both old and new teammates immediately shouted and responded. The haze of recent losing streaks has unknowingly disappeared.
Li Feng's words made them unable to help looking forward to tonight's game. So what about White Mamba and fourth place in the West. We have no reason to retreat, let alone fear!
Looking at the excited young men, D'Antoni sighed inwardly that Li Feng is worthy of being the leader. If it were someone else to say that Li Feng's words would definitely have the effect, but they would not be so strong. Li Feng exudes a kind of fearless aura, which can always make people excited!
On the evening of March 2nd.
The stadium was full of spectators, and a large number of fans wearing Knicks uniforms watched the game, dyeing the Madison Square Garden a sea of blood.
If they end up being boasted by so many people, people with a slightly poor mental quality may be so angry that they want to bite their tongue and commit suicide.
In the long and narrow aisle, Li Feng saw Roy and Aldridge, who seemed very hostile to turn his face.
He greeted Roy.
"Hey, Brandon."
"Feng, tell me. Your touch was thrown in the toilet in the hospital."
“…”
Li Feng smiled, Roy would be so poor!
Outside the narrow corridor, cheers resounded through the sky, and it was time to appear.
Li Feng took a deep breath, pushed his right foot and rushed out of the corridor.
Outside the corridor, there is a yellow ocean that cannot be seen at a glance, and there are tsunamis of shouts.
The fans shouted the names of "Tyrannosaurus Rex" and "Front".
This is the current Madison Square Garden!
"You must win!"
...
The game began. According to media speculation, the Knicks should have played very hard in this game, but they didn't know. Li Feng's organizational ability perfectly turned the team into a whole. When the players reacted chemically, the team could show 200% of their combat effectiveness.
The Knicks' lineup is as expected, the center is Eddie Cory, power forward Li Feng, small forward Harden, shooting guard Thornton, and point guard Du Hong.
On the Trail Blazers, center Greg Oden, power forward Lamarcus Aldridge, small forward Nicholas Cage Batum, shooting guard Brandon Roy, point guard Andre Miller.
From the beginning, the game entered the rhythm that the Knicks were good at.
At the beginning of the game, Li Feng did not take the initiative to attack, but was more of a task as a ball-handling striker, perfectly controlling the team's rhythm. In the five minutes of the game, the Knicks had a seven-point advantage, while Li Feng had six assists.
The pioneering offense is similar to the Knicks, and they are all initiated by one person. The only difference is that Roy is the defender and Li Feng is the forward.
Seeing the game fall into the Knicks' rhythm, McMillan doesn't need to remind him that Roy has lowered the rhythm and passed the basketball to Oden singles.
Although Auden has a plagiarism hat, he still has some tricks when the Trail Blazers were able to reject Duncan and Garnett for him and give up Durant for him.
Oden took the ball inside and relied on Cory to play singles with his back. With a beautiful fake move, Oden tricked Cory, hooked and scored!
It seems that the action is done in one go. If Oden can stay healthy, in this era when centers are scarce, tens of millions of contracts are at your fingertips.
Today, Oden was in good shape, scoring several consecutive goals, and split the ball well when the Knicks double-teamed. After a wave of 15-6, the Trail Blazers immediately took the rhythm into their hands.
Li Feng didn't want the Trail Blazers to succeed. He decisively switched defense with Cory, after Trail Blazers center Oden got the ball again.
Without thinking, Li Feng pressed his body with his strong body. Compared with those players who had just recovered, Li Feng had no worries at all. What recurred old injuries or progressed step by step.
All were thrown behind Li Feng. Now the only thing he thought was to hold the basket and let the opponent have no choice but to take advantage of it. Li Feng's fierce defense made Oden, who had a tough style of play, not adapted to it. Although Oden seemed a little difficult to confront the physical confrontation, the No. 1 pick was not ready to pass the basketball out. Since the position he was about to reach was already within his attack range, Oden drove the ball a few times, adjusted his steps, and leaned against Li Feng and turned one and a half to the left, preparing to score points with a hook.
This ball is a parallel fish like you!
At this moment, Oden forgot that he was the parallel product!
When the basketball left his fingertips, the wonderful feel made Oden think that the ball was already eight or ninety. All he had to do was just to enjoy the wonderful sounds made by the friction between the basketball and the nets with his ears.
If we only talk about height, Auden undoubtedly has a certain advantage. His bounce height is also first-class, but in front of the audience, it is pitifully rare.
"That's how you want to pitch in front of me?"
Li Feng couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that others had forgotten their existence during this period.
Without any run-up, Li Feng just pulled up on the spot. In front of Oden, he rose higher and higher.
The injury did not affect Li Feng's bounce and explosive power. Oden, who was proud, felt that his eyes were dark and the shadows were rising up under his own gaze.
The smile on his face slowly converged with Li Feng's big hand that was getting closer and closer to the basketball. Until the moment Li Feng touched the ball, Oden's smile suddenly frozen on his face.
It seemed as if I had vented my anger that had been holding on to more than three months on this pitiful basketball.
When a crisp sound came from the ears of the fans of Madison Square Garden Arena, the basketball was already slapped in the audience by Li Feng. (To be continued...)
