Chapter 176 Hard Times

After the timeout, there were eight seconds left in the third quarter. For the last attack, the Cavaliers fully demonstrated their strong team character. O'Neal sent a sideline ball, Jamison received the ball from the top of the outside line and responded, passing it to Anthony Parker who was slipping past him. The latter suddenly changed direction and broke into the inside with the help of O'Neal's pick-and-roll, accelerated to get rid of Thornton who made a backup defense, rushed straight into the three-second zone and made a strong layup. Cory was slightly disturbed and missed it out of the basket, but O'Neal jumped up and stabbed the basketball with one hand. (1_1)

"This ball is mine!"

The basketball was stabbed to the right side of the bottom line. Li Feng blocked James behind him and reached out to catch the basketball that came to the door. However, James suddenly walked around him quickly at this moment, straightened his arm and grabbed the previous step and poked the basketball back into O'Neal's hand, and then tangled the basket along the bottom line.

"Damn it!"

Li Feng watched the rebound he had been knocked away. The unexpected change suddenly disrupted his calculations. While he was not feeling good, he quickly reached out to try to continue blocking James' next move, but blocked the gap.

Whoosh!

The Cavaliers' No. 23 taught Li Feng a solid lesson at the last moment. At the same time, the Cavaliers overtook the score again, and the third quarter game time also reached the end.

"here you go!"

To be honest, the unexpected difficulty of this game was indeed much better than Brown's idea. Originally, the third quarter game should have been an excellent opportunity for them to expand their lead, but the Knicks' inside doubles played a more exciting quarter. At the critical moment, Li Feng's strong offensive score stabilized their morale. He forced the balance of victory and loss back to the starting point. So the goal just now made Brown particularly excited. The Cavaliers were still better at the critical moment. This is the experience of a team composed of old teammates!

"It's really hard for these guys to deal with!"

When they walked to the rest area and sat on the bench, Li Feng was a little panting and thought depressedly. They were taking advantage of the home court and the lineup was basically complete.

The local game has always performed to the best level, but it is just about to play against the Cavaliers. The last quarter of the game is a bit bad!

"Fron, you have had enough rest in the previous game. It depends on your place in the last quarter!"

Cory, who was sitting next to him, patted Li Feng on the shoulder. In this quarter just now, he and other teammates had done their best to win more adjustment time for Li Feng. This guy should take on the offensive banner of the entire team in the last quarter.**(..)

"Don't worry, I will pull the emperor off!"

Li Feng said with a decisive voice. But he was not so sure in his heart. He couldn't be sure what the final result would be. The only thing that is certain is that he will show all his abilities on the offensive end. Winning this critical tough battle is very, very important for him and the entire team. He clenched his fists secretly and shouted in his heart:

"I must win!"

...

Compared with the first quarter of tonight, both of them reached about 60% of the terrible offensive efficiency. The two teams strengthened their defense in the next two quarters, and each of them also improved their defensive enthusiasm, but they still couldn't do anything to each other.

After introducing more offensive tactics from Brown, their defense may have been affected to some extent. However, they have become more balanced, especially the two players in the backcourt of the team are obvious beneficiaries. Jamison, who has a relatively large range of activities, is the same. These three guys are also the Cavaliers' main attack points tonight.

For the Knicks, tonight's game completely made people begin to re-understand the strength and potential of this team. They played as reasonably on the offensive end. The tacit cooperation between Li Feng and his teammates and the timely strong attack always create many opportunities for open space. Every player performed well and seized good opportunities again and again.

"Looking at the current scores of the two teams, it's hard to believe that this is a game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks. But I still believe that they both played their best, and the players on both sides are at the peak tonight!"

"The two teams have very sufficient pre-match preparations, and they both entered their best state at the beginning of the game. Well, maybe the touch and luck are also quite good. In this case, I'm afraid any defense will be useless!"

"And when it comes to the offense tonight, I have to give the Knicks a thumbs up, especially their tridents, Li Feng, Harden, and Thornton. Their excellent offensive ability and precise shooting level have made me feel that the basketball game is returning to its original appearance - as close to the basket as possible and finding reasonable shooting opportunities again and again, and their teammates are also silently influenced and changed by them!"

While judging objectively and emotionally praised the Knicks, he couldn't help but give his thumbs up. Somehow he thought of the best championship combination in the 1980s, Larry Bird + McHale + Parish. The Knicks' trident is already moving towards the Celtics' Big Three. "If the Knicks can withstand the test of the Cavaliers in this game, perhaps they may have created a miracle that will stunned us this season!"

Miracle!

There has never been a lack of miracles in the history of the league, but the bold predictions of the ball reviews have caused the fans in front of the TV to burst into different strong emotions.

"Forward, James, Marcus, you can already be called the best combination in the league today. No one can really stop you from moving forward. I hope you can completely break the fate of our team!"

Li Feng and the loyal fans of the Knicks have begun to look forward to the miracle being born as soon as possible. If it happens this season, it is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing.

"Miracle? This is really a delusion!"

When listening to the ball reviews uncovered support of the Knicks at home, LeBron James said disdainfully...

Bang bang bang bang...

Swish swish swish swish...

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the goddess of luck seemed to have abandoned the Knicks. The game time was almost half over, but the situation suddenly took a sharp turn. Some of their basketballs that seemed to be about to get into the basket always hit the basket and bounced out.

On the contrary, the Cavaliers seized many opportunities... All the passes Kuaishou broke the basketball in Du Hong's hand, and then James made another mid-range shot, they had already opened the lead by more than seven points.

force!

Before D'Antoni called for a timeout, Li Feng took the initiative to apply to suspend the game.

When he reached the bench, his mind was in chaos.

The damn touch is not cold early or cold late, but it happens to be at this deadly moment. The players seem to be blocked by the Cavaliers and breathless. Thornton, Harden and others have even wasted the rare opportunity for empty space.

"Guys, it's a great job. We've stood the test at the critical moment. All we have to do is continue to play just now. We'll be defeated at home. Now I don't doubt that!"

Brown stood on the sidelines, applauding the starting lineup Wuhu who was returning to the bench, and celebrating every love player. At this moment, his face was filled with a smile.

What is defense? Maybe everyone will have their own opinions, but Mike Brown believes that the most important factor in defense is persistence and stability. The Cavaliers, who have been through many battles, have always done a great job in this regard. They can always stand up with any opponent. Perhaps they will find it difficult to defend against their opponent's offense within a certain period of time, but as long as they persist, they will eventually play a role, just like now!

"This situation is really surprising. All the Knicks members seem to have fallen into a low point. Their peripheral pitchers suddenly became silent, which made Li Feng fall into the Cavaliers' crowd. However, Li Feng's threat still exists. If he hadn't forced breakthroughs twice in a row to make LeBron foul free throws, this game would have almost lost suspense!"

The Filipino shook his head slightly, which made this scene the biggest difference between the characteristics of the two teams. Faced with the defense that was both improved to a higher intensity, the immature Knicks still lacked a lot of time in terms of experience and stability!

"Brothers, calm me down at this time, don't lose my composure. Think about how we played in the first quarter! Now we are in a very difficult time. We must put all our strength to deal with our opponents. Each of us needs to contribute our energy. We must survive this difficult stage and never give up the slightest hope of victory until the last moment!"

Harrington looked at Li Feng silently thinking about his thoughts, and he took the initiative to stand up. Although Harrington is now the team's substitute, looking at his teammates' situation, he remembered himself back then. At that time, he entered the NBA as a high school student and often hit a wall in the Pacers. Fortunately, Miller and others kept advising and encouraging themselves. Now, what should he do? This critical moment is not only for Li Feng to face, but also for everyone in the team.

"Well said, no matter what. We must win this game!"

Li Feng shook his head suddenly and drove out the distracting thoughts in his mind. Then Eddie Cory roared in a low voice. His voice was so low but so firm. The idea of ​​chasing victory never disappeared from his mind. "There are more than six minutes left. The game is still early!"

"The game is indeed early!"

D'Antoni obviously had no intention of giving up the game. At this time, most of the team were a little restless, and he, the helmman, became more and more calm.

"Next, we need to take steady steps..." (To be continued...)
