Chapter 524 Waiting for you to take the bait

The Knicks scored just now, and now the Raptors are also scored immediately. Both teams seem to have a tendency to open up in offense.

The Knicks ran over again. The tactics they played were almost the same as before. They both opened the top of the arc and allowed Li Feng to break through, and then stood at the bottom line and were ready to run out to catch the ball at any time.

Li Feng also made a breakthrough at this time and passed the ball to Monroe. However, the Raptors were not stupid at this time. After being hit twice in a row, the rotation was much faster. Monroe only got the ball and the opponent's defense arrived.

So Monroe hurriedly wanted to stuff the basketball into the Raptors' inside, but the basketball flew out and was stolen by the Raptors.

After the Raptors intercepted, Calderon broke through Dragic all the way, attracting defense to Creza who suddenly passed the ball to Creza on the outside. Creza made a big open position and threw a three-pointer. Creza really stopped drawing today, and the basketball shot failed to make a three-pointer!

After scoring consecutive points, the two teams missed offenses one after another, but this time Li Feng was lucky.

The ball that Kreza threw just reached Li Feng's hand. After Li Feng took the ball, he quickly came to the Raptors' half.

At this time, Li Feng's advantage over DeRozan came. DeRozan was very versatile in half-time offense, but his speed was not very sufficient in the entire game.

Li Feng rushed up, and he followed Li Feng in great difficulty from behind. Li Feng broke through quickly, disrupting the opponent's defense, and then threw the basketball at Dragic who followed behind.

Dragic came up and asked a small mid-range shot to win!

In terms of offense and defense conversion, Li Feng's efficiency is worse than that of the opponent! Calderon's destructive power is not as good as Li Feng, and DeRozan's speed is not as good as Li Feng. Although the Raptors are said to be powerful in fast attacks, their absolute speed may not be stronger than the Knicks.

At this time, the two teams gradually entered the offensive battle and entered the rhythm that the Raptors liked. At this time, they were also excited.

Kreza quickly dribbled the ball to the opponent's half, and then immediately passed the ball to Amir Johnson who was running over. Amir Johnson got the ball, Calderon ran from Amir Johnson, handed the ball with his hand and made a breakthrough, Calderon made a breakthrough, and the Knicks immediately double-teamed. Calderon immediately passed the ball to Creza on the outside, but Creza made a three-pointer again, but this guy missed the three-pointer again.

Kreza wasted two large open spaces in a row. Most of the Knicks fans were relieved.

Creza was not exhausted, and today the Raptors' offensive firepower was reduced by one third. When Michel saw that Creza was really not worthy of face, she immediately waved her hand to make Creza stand up. Creza could barely play No. 2. At this time, since Creza couldn't even grasp the open shot, he could only let Creza return to the position he deserved.

On the court, Creza missed the shot again. However, the basketball fell into Bailini's hands.

Belineri turned around and passed the ball to Dragic. Dragic took the ball and saw that all the attention of the Raptors was on Li Feng. He took the ball and came quickly towards the Raptors' half. When Calderon noticed Dragic, Dragic had already passed Calderon.

Kreza went up to defend Dragic for the desperate attempt. Dragic turned around and passed the basketball to Li Feng, who was protecting him.

Li Feng took the ball and easily shot from the side. The Knicks grabbed the Raptors and made two offensive and defensive changes.

The Knicks are not weaker than the Raptors. They are even more fatal than the Raptors, and the score difference is slightly widened.

74-70 Knicks led by 4 points, and at this time the Raptors came and started to play slightly easier.

Calderon came over and immediately used DeRozan's cover to circle outside. Then he made a direct move and continued a three-pointer.

The Raptors used to play a little more complicated, but they missed two three-pointers in succession, but now they are simpler, but they make a three-pointer.

Moreover, Calderon scored 11 points in succession, and Calderon scored 11 points in less than 3 minutes or 4 minutes. The scoring efficiency is already very terrifying.

Now the Knicks don't need to block DeRozan but Calderon. After Calderon scored, he was excited to high-five with his teammates.

The Knicks had a series of fast breaks before, and finally opened 4 points. At this time, the Raptors almost caught up with the score difference with one 3 point.

At this time, the Knicks chased back like a rage. Li Feng passed it to Belineri in the bottom corner. Belineri missed the shot by throwing a three-pointer in the open position.

The Knicks wasted such an opportunity and turned around and the Raptors were quick to beat. Crezza came over to try her luck and threw a three-pointer but missed it.

The two teams were each wasted an opportunity, and the Knicks came to attack again. Li Feng broke through and passed the ball to Monroe outside. Monroe missed the mid-range shot. In this way, the Knicks wasted two consecutive opportunities.

According to the rules, the Knicks will suffer. As expected, once the Knicks missed the shot this time, Amir Johnson grabbed the rebound and actually took the ball and chased the Knicks in the half.

Amir Johnson is such a big son, and he comes to control the ball and push the fast break. The Knicks are also a little stunned! When the Knicks are stunned, Amir Johnson breaks through and makes a reverse layup. Amir Johnson scores 2 points, and the Raptors overtakes the score.

The Raptors led the Knicks by 1 point, 75-74. The Knicks and the Raptors began to have repeated tug-of-war, and the Knicks were under a lot of pressure at this time.

The Raptors have strong offensive ability. If you want to win the Raptors, Payton said before that it doesn’t matter how much points you score on the Raptors are meaningless. If you want to win the Raptors, you must work hard on defense.

At this time, seeing the Raptors attacked two waves, the Knicks did not defend well! Tiberdore was a little anxious, and he shouted at the players on the sidelines:

"Everyone pays attention to defense, and I work hard on defense!"

Taberdog yelled like this, and Li Feng immediately nodded on the court while listening. At this time, the Knicks took the ball from the backcourt and quickly approached the opponent's wing. Li Feng approached so much and attracted the opponent's attention.

At this moment, the Raptors' defense shrank a little more powerfully, and they missed Monroe at the high position.

Monroe was exposed, and Li Feng passed the ball to Monroe. At this time, Monroe took the ball and dribbled the ball sideways and then took action. Monroe's technical ability is indeed enough. In this case, the Raptors had no choice but to shoot, and they saw Monroe hit the ball.

The Raptors turned around and attacked. When Calderon and DeRozan were covering, the Knicks defended suddenly and rushed out. When Calderon formed a pick-and-roll, the Knicks and the two of them isolated Calderon together. However, they immediately turned back and the Knicks suddenly made a heavy move on the defensive end.

In this high-intensity fast defense, an old guard like Calderon also made a mistake and passed the ball in a hurry. Kreza, the guy, pulled out his hand regardless of the situation, wasting another opportunity for attack.

The Knicks grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Li Feng quickly advanced with the ball. He broke through directly to the wing and fought against DeRozan.

DeRozan was much calmer in the second half. At this time, he was also doing his best to defend Li Feng. Li Feng took the ball frame and took two steps. He turned around and shook DeRozan with fake moves, and DeRozan did not jump either.

Just as Li Feng was about to force his jump, Dragic sneaked into the penalty area. Li Feng hurriedly passed the basketball to Dragic, and Dragic made a layup against the back and took two points.

As soon as the Raptors got up, the Knicks suppressed the Raptors again. At this time, the Raptors came over, and DeRozan couldn't help it.

He played carefully for 4 minutes at the beginning of the third quarter, which was already close to his limit. At this time, DeRozan had to reveal his true colors. He took the ball outside the three-point line and took a little horizontally, then pulled it up and threw three points.

Li Feng was indeed unable to completely defend DeRozan before, but it was OK to give DeRozan a certain amount of pressure. When the opponent took action, Li Feng leaned forward and stretched out his hand to make DeRozan feel uncomfortable in his movements.

In this way, DeRozan missed a three-pointer.

The Raptors' hands failed to attack for two consecutive rounds due to the Knicks' defense! This is a great benefit for the Knicks.

This shows that the team's defense is effective. Li Feng rushed over and grabbed the rebound and rushed over, which was the first to destroy the opponent's defense. He rushed over with the ball and suddenly passed the ball to Bailinili on the wing.

Pelinelli took the ball and shook the defense away, and made a mid-range shot from the previous step! In this way, the Knicks gained another advantage in the repeated tug-of-war between the two teams, and the Knicks led the Raptors by 5 points with 80-75.

At this time, the two teams were pulling back and forth, and Yu Jia also said:

"The Knicks and the Raptors have very strong offensive abilities! If both teams break out to attack, they can kill the opponent in one wave. So in this game, it is not only bigger fists, but also thicker armor! From the current point of view, the Knicks' armor is still thicker. Once they want to control the Raptors, they can control this. The Raptors have never done this since the beginning!"

After Li Feng scored in Pelineli, he immediately shouted:

"Defense! You must hold on, defend!"

Li Feng encouraged everyone to defend, and at the same time he actively defended DeRozan and went out to help others from time to time. Li Feng's movement back and forth drove the defense of the whole team to become hot. Once the Knicks' defensive intensity came up.

The Raptors want to open up the situation, relying on personal attacks. Now DeRozan and Li Feng are restraining each other, so DeRozan's scoring efficiency is not high. Calderon can only show up on his own and get the ball and beat Dragic forcibly.

Calderon had solid offensive skills, but when he was playing Dragic, Monroe immediately went out to assist in defense, which made Calderon depressed.

Although Ed Davis has a free space, it is useless. Ed Davis has no long shot or the ability to attack with the ball. He can only turn around and forcefully shoot on the other side. As a result, he missed the shot, and Monroe rushed over and hugged the rebound.

After holding on to the rebound, the Knicks advanced very quickly. The Knicks advanced quickly and the formation was also unfolding quickly.

They pushed forward, and Li Feng immediately went over to get the ball and attacked the Raptors' defense with his back. The Raptors' defense changed slightly. Li Feng had a wide eyelid behind his head and passed the ball to the weak side. Bailineri, who was born unreliable, made another fake move. Creza, who was born unreliable, flew again. In this way, Bailineri made a three-pointer without hesitation.

"brush!"

The Knicks made another three-pointer, and the Knicks led the Raptors by 8 points in one breath.

At this time, the Raptors fell behind mainly because the Knicks' defense had an effect, and they came up several consecutive rounds. The Knicks either defended the opponent or made the opponent attack in a uncomfortable manner. On the Raptors, although DeRozan made Li Feng unable to score, DeRozan could not make Li Feng unable to pass the ball, and every ball passed by Li Feng was very fatal.

Li Feng also scored 4 assists in this period of time. This is the terrible thing about Li Feng. Even if he doesn't score, he can make his teammates score. DeRozan is not as good as Li Feng in this regard.

The Raptors had broken legs on the defensive end, and he lost one of his legs. At this time, they needed to work extra hard on offense.

Calderon came over at this time and wanted to throw three points with his excellent touch, but the Knicks definitely couldn't let him shoot like this at this time.

Dragic was also very smart. He went up and pressed hard on Calderon, and at the same time he tripped Calderon. Calderon was not very flexible and was easily injured in the lower plate. Dragic stopped him. Calderon could not find any opportunity here, so he immediately threw the basketball to Kreza and asked Kreza to relieve the current tense situation.

But Kreza, a player who is in good condition, can really help the team, and it is also quite abominable when he is in bad condition.

He missed two consecutive three-pointers just now, and at this time he took the ball, he began to forcefully break through the Knicks' basket, but the Knicks' basket was full of people. He rushed up and was blocked directly, and he missed the ball by barely shooting.

With Creza's shooting choice, even Michelle, who advocates freedom, can only grin on the side.

Kreza missed the shot, and the Knicks' backcourt rebound was guaranteed. Dragic was also crazy after winning the backcourt rebound.

He raided the opponent's basket frantically, but Dragic drove the speed, but he was not capable enough to force a layup. Thanks to Li Feng following him at any time, he flew up and caught the frontcourt rebound.

Li Feng, who grabbed the frontcourt rebound, saw that his teammates were a little impatient, and immediately took the ball with one hand and shouted at his teammates:

"Don't worry! Don't worry!"

Li Feng shouted at his teammates, don't be anxious, he himself was not anxious, and took the ball to threaten DeRozan three times, and tried step by step, two steps, three steps, Li Feng made three fake moves before he leaned back and threw a middle distance.

Li Feng finally took action. DeRozan was a little unscrupulous at this time and was slow to take action when defending. As a result, Li Feng's move easily hit the opponent's basket!

Li Feng scored two more points, and the Raptors were a little troublesome. The Knicks led the Raptors by 10 points in one breath.

85-75, the Knicks lead the Raptors in double digits. Even if the Raptors have a strong offense and score strongly, they need to play several rounds of 10 points.

Michelle saw that the situation was a little wrong. His team had not scored for several rounds. The Knicks could defend it if they wanted to defend. His team wanted to attack but could only play singles. This was definitely not a good sign. According to this trend, his team could only become more monotonous as they played, while the Knicks could slowly start playing. Michelle immediately called a timeout!

Michelle called a timeout, and Reggie Miller was quite surprised. He was teasing Michelle on the sidelines:

"Now the Raptors are only 10 points behind, so they called a timeout. I thought that the difference between the score within 20 points in the Raptors' eyes is not considered a difference!"

"How many 20 points can you get in a game?"

Payton corrected Reggie Miller's views at this time, and then said:

"Michelle's timeout seems to be too late to call! Now the team is 10 points behind, 10 points! This is a big difference. How many 10 points can a team get in a night."

Payton was in this tone again. Reggie Miller shook his head helplessly, but Payton continued to say:

"In the past few rounds, although the Knicks' offense was very exciting, Li Feng could get the first to get the position, but what's more exciting about the Knicks was the defense. In the past few rounds, the Knicks took Calderon to defend DeRozan and forced the opponent Creza to take action, which was stuck on the Raptors' neck! Although the Raptors' scoring ability is very strong in the current lineup, there is also a fatal disadvantage, that is, there is no player who can take the initiative to attack in the inside. Ed Davis's offense was terrible, and Amir Johnson's ball-holding attack was accurate. In this way, the Raptors' offensive methods seemed monotonous. As long as the Knicks let go of the outside, the Raptors had no choice! Now Michel must make his inside line seem a bit offensive, otherwise he will not be able to open the Knicks' defense!"

Payton bit the key to the game in one go. Why do the Knicks dare to pounce out now? It’s because the opponent’s two big men are not capable of offensive ability. Why don’t the Raptors dare to pounce on the Knicks? Because both big men of the Knicks can play low posts, this is the gap.

As expected, Michelle came as Payton said. He called a timeout and asked Ed Davis and Amir Johnson to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack, frequently go up to help, and connect the team's inside and outside lines.

But he didn't know that the Knicks had an alternative plan at this time, waiting for Michelle!

The Raptors came back from the timeout and the tactical offense was also simple and clear. DeRozan held the ball from the wing, Amir Johnson and Ed Davis crossed the screen, Amir Johnson was empty-handed and headed towards the swift Peacock under the basket, DeRozan looked at Amir Johnson! He accurately passed the ball to Amir Johnson, and Amir Johnson scored a comfortable layup with the ball.

The Raptors finally scored! But Tiberdore looked at it on the sidelines:

"Ah!! The Raptors finally played this trick, it's time for me to take action!"

So Tiberdore immediately came to the sidelines and shouted, gestured to the players, and asked the team to implement new defensive tactics. (To be continued...)
