The loss in the first game gave the morale New York Knicks a blow. After all, the Boston Celtics didn't look that strong in the regular season. Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, the defense is suffocating and the offense is precise and meticulous. The regular season and the playoffs are completely different. {http:

Although most media disliked the Knicks before the game, when the result of the game came out, the Knicks did lose. They all realized that the Celtics were still underestimated.

As a result, the Knicks' second round trip had been cast in a shadow, and few people thought the Knicks could go further.

Even the New York media are very serious in their reports, and they feel weak when talking about the Boston Celtics.

D'Antoni gave the Knicks an "ideological education" after the game. Losing the game was indeed due to the strength gap. The four giants of the Celtics and a roaring Tianzun far surpassed the Knicks in both fame and strength. The Celtics' hiding their strength in the regular season made them not even as good as the Cavaliers in prestige. The Knicks could sweep the Cavaliers, and even knowing that this was the playoffs, they were more or less blind and confident.

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

The Knicks, who are visiting, still sent out regular season rosters: Cory, Li Feng, Harden, Thornton and Du Hong.

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

force!

jump ball!

The referee abandoned basketball in the core of the center circle.

With a snap, Perkins seized the best time to take off. He won Corey and also won the opening chance!

"The outside world expands its pressing and keeps a close eye on people!"

Rivers immediately made a judgment when he looked at the defensive formation of the Knicks. This tactic can indeed effectively restrain the outside firepower. But is the Celtics just a team that relies on the outside to make a living?

Rondo made a pick-and-roll with Perkins who was pulled up, but did not see the opponent's expected active defense change. Instead, he directly used a misaligned defense. The person who stared at him was naturally Corey. Although the latter could not keep up with Rondo's footsteps, he still defended very actively. He stood in the three-point line and opened his arms to block Rondo's breakthrough line tightly.

Rondo was swimming back and forth on the right wing of the frontcourt. His body tonnage was too different, and it was too laborious to break through. Even if he could cause a foul by his opponent, he was not worth it. He used the ball to observe the Knicks' defense. He couldn't find a good route to the ball for a while. He chose to play singles without hesitation, and suddenly stopped urgently and jumped back slightly.

Whoosh! Swish!

With three-pointers, the Celtics started with multiple starts again!

Everyone knows that Rondo is not accurate in shooting, but there is nothing he can do if he enters. He can only blame his bad luck.

Du Hong sent out the baseline ball silently. After receiving the back pass from Corey, he trotted the basketball to the frontcourt.

When he came to the frontcourt, Li Feng pulled out of the inside. The defender changed from Garnett to Pierce.

After pretending to slid the basket, Li Feng hung the basketball into the inside from Pierce's head.

Although Perkins in the interior is a defensive player, the Knicks must make Cory play, even if it cannot be the main offensive point. They must also put pressure on the Celtics so that the Knicks can release their firepower to the greatest extent. If Perkins ignores Cory and then form a net with Garnet, the Knicks can directly admit defeat.

Corey received the ball from the left side of the inside and resisted Perkins. Before he entered the best range, he dribbled inward and was immediately double-teamed by Ray Allen on the left and Pierce who was recovered.

Cory immediately passed the basketball back to the top of the outside arc.

Whoosh!

Swish!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Pierce failed to return to defense in time, Li Feng received the ball and directly shot a three-pointer. He could still ensure a high shooting percentage of this open three-pointer.

"Back to defend!"

Just after scoring the goal, Li Feng shouted loudly, and the Knicks did not leave a chance to get a fast break for the opponent.

Rondo took the ball, and this time it was replaced by Garnett. He still couldn't find any room for breakthrough under the more flexible Harden's switch defense. He passed the ball to Pierce who was stranded on the outside, and he took Harden to start a run without the ball.

Pierce used the ball to break through Li Feng. With his speed and strength, Mr. Zhen broke through from the right wing to the low post on the right side of the basket. Li Feng kept pushing his opponent with his chest.

His hands were constantly waving and disturbing, and he stuck in the incision line tightly.

Bang!

With a forced hook shot from the side, Li Feng leaned his back tightly against Mapearce, jumped up and grabbed his first rebound in the game.

The Celtics' running ability is absolutely excellent. They put away their defenses in the playoffs and retreated very quickly.

"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 back to Li Feng, who was receiving the ball. The latter once again hung the basketball into the left side of the inside line. He had to make full use of Cory's point. After passing the ball, he immediately slipped from the right wing without the ball to the baseline. With the help of Harden's pick-and-roll, he temporarily threw Pierce off to defend, and slipped to the other side to receive the return pass. He suddenly stopped and jumped to the side to prepare for a jump shot.

Whoosh!

Perkins had to come up to defend, but Li Feng was very skilled and brave enough to pass the ball from his head. Cory, who was unguarded, received the ball, and dunked with one hand on his side. After landing, he also protested to the camera.

Rivers watched the Knicks' easy offense succeed, and his face still maintained an indifferent expression, but he felt something was wrong in his heart.

Before the game, Rivers thought that the Knicks' morale would collapse directly at the last stop. Unexpectedly, today's Knicks seemed to be more like a team.

"Laga, strengthen the breakthrough!"

"Kevin, you'll be more aggressive in calling me!"

Rivers made two gestures into the field one after another, and the arrangement quickly worked.

Rondo broke through and tore the Knicks' defense. Although he was difficult to shoot by the Knicks' round of switch-to-shot, he could find more pass space. He passed the ball to the bottom line. Ray Allen suddenly took the ball and threw away Thornton's defense before receiving the ball, and made a mid-range shot.

...

Everyone could feel the changes in the Knicks and their defense became more active. Li Feng was also more determined during the offense, which caught the Celtics off guard after the start of the game, but they quickly adjusted their offense and defensive strategies. Their offense was indeed not vegetarian. In the second half of the first quarter, the Celtics caught up. Except for the previous advertising timeout, neither team's coaches took the lead in calling the timeout.

Li Feng passed the ball. Corey received the ball and passed it back, and then passed it back. After several internal and external subversive balls, Li Feng received the ball again and suddenly accelerated and broke through Pierce's defense line. He easily made a ball near the free throw line, expanding the gap to three-pointers again, 19 to 22.

force!

Rivers had to call a timeout, and Li Feng's problem would not be solved. The Celtics' game tonight will become very difficult, he muttered in his heart:

"The Knicks are indeed the team of this Chinese boy!"

Li Feng's shooting today was too decisive. As long as he found the space to shoot, he would not hesitate. He has scored 11 points from four of six shots.

"Paul, it's enough for you to only pay attention to Li Feng's outside shooting, don't worry about his breakthrough. Teammates will help you!"

Li Feng's performance is actually expected, after all, this is the most important force the Knicks want to defeat them. Pierce knows it well.

Just thinking that the team's two All-Star forwards had no choice but to win a rookie, I felt a little dissatisfied. Of course, Pierce is already thirty years old and he knows what he should do.

Finally, Rivers stared at the team's core Kevin Garnett and said solemnly:

"Kevin, your aggressiveness is far from enough. Since Li Feng wants to attack wildly, let's give him some defensive pressure!"

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Boss, he can't help me!"

Garnett promised confidently.

...

"Beautiful job, this is what I want to see most!"

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

"Never mind whoever defends you will be, I will play more aggressively. No one of the opponent's players can stop you!"

The nearly ten years of rich experience in his mind can easily tell the other party's adjustment, but no matter how he adjusts, Li Feng must be more aggressive.

"Eddie, don't let Garnett get close to the basket easily, and James, you must firmly protect our rebounds, otherwise our offensive efforts will lose the results they deserve!"

D'Antoni finished the next task in just a few words, and everyone explained it in place, "Marcus, don't let your opponent break through easily. Chris, the same is true for you. Even if you lose your defense temporarily, you must not give up on defense. Also, give more help to the striker, control the ball, break through, etc. As long as you can do everything you can!"

...

After playing again, Garnett flexibly ran the position and took the initiative to reach out for the ball. He received a straight pass after Rondo shook, transported the ball, and suddenly held the ball and turned around and walked around Li Feng's defense. It should be that he jumped and hooked his hands to lay up with his strong jumping power. The basketball stumbled into the basket.

During the counterattack, Li Feng received Harden's breakthrough pass and made a layup. His throwing and better strength took a great advantage in offense, and the basketball was hollowed out into the net.

...

With the help of Perkins' pick-and-roll, Rondo quickly broke through Corey's defense, suddenly leaned against Corey, but passed the basketball to the back of his body. Ray Allen's perfect run without the ball, catching the ball, and laying the layup, the whole process was almost done in one go. Rondo's exquisite passing as if his eyes were on the back of his head also greatly improved the team's morale, and the audience at the scene also had a lot of energy.

"What a natural point guard material, it's a pity that it's too late to be alone!"

Li Feng felt sorry for Rondo, but his hands were not weak. After receiving a pass from Thornton in the frontcourt, he used Corey's pick-and-roll to suddenly change direction and accelerate into the inside.

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

Li Feng took Garnett to the bottom line, suddenly turned around and took a step away from the defense, throwing the basketball to the front of the basket with one hand.

Bang!

When Garnett heard the sound, Corey had already landed. A wonderful aerial relay made the volume of the scene lower again. Rondo was not as good as a piece of paper in front of Corey's tank, so he simply opened up and abandoned it.

"Fron, I like your pass more and more, and I like you more and more!"

Corey smiled rarely during the game, reached out and clapped Li Feng hard, and the depression of the previous game had already been wiped out.

"I don't want to lose to my opponent, so do you Eddie!"

Li Feng gave his partner a thumbs up.

"certainly!"

While retreating, Cory's eyes were locked in Perkins.

"hateful!"

Garnett was actually played with air relay by his opponent first. But what made him even more unhappy was Li Feng, who was the director of the air relay this time. "I must teach you a lesson, kid!"

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

...

Garnett responded at a high position and suddenly passed the ball to Pierce, who was cut by an empty cut. The latter received the ball and made a jump shot near the left bottom line.

Li Feng pulled Garnett to the high position, and after receiving the ball, he passed the bottom line diagonally. Thornton caught the ball and broke through Ray Allen's defense. Facing Perkins who assisted the defense, he made a time difference and jumped up and made a layup.

Both sides made targeted adjustments and had good results. Garnett played harder in the inside, while Li Feng successfully attracted the opponent's defensive center of gravity and kept passing good balls. This situation not only continued the first quarter, but also continued to the end of the midfield. Li Feng's two key three-pointers suppressed the opponent's counterattack momentum and successfully led the first half, 60-56.

"You guys have taken a four-point lead, guys, it's a good job!"

The first sentence when entering the locker room was D'Antoni cheering the players. This result may not be unexpected by the Bostonians, but in D'Antoni's calculations, Li Feng's 20 in the first half played a very critical role, and he had nine assists.

Obviously, Li Feng's performance can effectively restrain his opponents than Cory, and also amplify Cory's threat. Then the two of them showed their power together, and the other outside players had greater room for activity, so that the Knicks' strongest combat power can be exerted. Although it is not D'Antoni's small ball tactic, it is somewhat similar to the double tower tactics, not his own arrangement, but Li Feng's deliberate guidance, but for victory, D'Antoni could only surrender... Of course, whether this surrender is painful or happy or painful and happy is not worth telling outsiders.
