Chapter 392 First-round opponent: New York Knicks(2/2)

When the other four Knicks players were all out, Jeremy Lin dribbled to the frontcourt. Looking at Wu Feng's tight defense, Jeremy Lin couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. In the few minutes of the previous fight, he had deeply experienced the horror of Wu Feng's defense.

Wu Feng's defense may not be the strongest in the league, but his defense can bring great oppression to the opponent's players. If he did not need his strength on the offensive end, Wu Feng would definitely have the opportunity to compete for the award for the best defensive player.

After barely avoiding Wu Feng's stealing ball, Jeremy Lin used a turn to widen the distance with Wu Feng. But just when he was about to take another move, Wu Feng had already appeared in front of him again.

"Damn it!" Jeremy Lin cursed in his heart, then waved to Tyson Chandler.

Seeing this, Tyson Chandler quickly brought it up and made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin.

"Ma Wen!" Wu Feng was blocked by Tyson Chandler, and immediately shouted at Marvin Williams.

Marvin Williams had noticed the situation here. So when Wu Feng reminded him, he had abandoned Cameron Anthony and made it in front of Jeremy Lin. Seeing that Cameron Anthony was out of here, Jeremy Lin quickly passed the ball.

But just as the ball was halfway through, a yellow-skinned palm broke the ball.

The next scene was that the guy wearing the Hawks No. 9 jersey intercepted the ball and got off the ball quickly. However, the Knicks retreated quickly, and Amarestoudmeier and Eman Shampoo had retreated to the three-point line.

But just when they thought Wu Feng would slow down and wait for his teammates to rush up to fight the position, Wu Feng suddenly pulled to the 45th-degree angle outside the three-point line and shot when he pulled up.

With a "swish", under the incredible expression of most people, this three-pointer fell steadily into the basket, bringing a circle of white Nets.

Wu Feng's ball was fast, accurate and ruthless. It was unexpected.

"Retreat and defend quickly, pay attention to assisting defense, and defend team." Mike Woodson shouted on the sidelines at the top of his voice.

Wu Feng retreated to the backcourt excitedly and then slapped his teammates to celebrate.

In the first quarter, the Hawks and the Knicks scored 26:20 and led the home team by 6 points.

The Hawks strengthened their defense in the second half of the first quarter, and the Knicks hit a poor 37% during that time.

Five minutes before the second quarter, Wu Feng sat off the court to rest.

When the second quarter ended 6 minutes and 21 seconds, Wu Feng replaced Koksinridge and made a comeback. In fact, because this game was a playoffs, he had already been eager to try it out, but he still had to respect Larry Drew's arrangements.

"Swish", Wu Feng hit a long shot as soon as he came up.

But what made him very depressed was that after the referee watched the video replay, the three-pointer turned into two points, because when he took action, his feet had already stepped on the three-point line. Through the replay on the live big screen, Wu Feng also saw that he was indeed stepping on the line.

Although he was very upset about this, he could only helpless.

"Drip", in a rebounding competition, the ball went out of bounds. However, there was a difference between the referee and the referee's penalty. One of them believed that the ball was a backcourt ball and the other thought it was a frontcourt ball.

So, all three referees came to the data statistics station and watched the video replay. After the three referees carefully watched the video h replay, they awarded the ball rights to the backcourt, which is the Hawks.

Since Jeff Teague was present, Wu Feng's position naturally became the second position. So it was Jeff Teague who was in charge of the ball at this moment.

As soon as Jeff Teague arrived outside the three-point line, he completely ignored Baron Davis' defense and forced a breakthrough. Baron Davis may have been worse than before due to his previous injury, neither speed nor explosive power, so it seems very difficult to defend Jeff Teague.

When Jeff Teague broke through, Wu Feng was not idle, but quickly interspersed among the crowd, looking for a favorable position.

Jeff Teager deliberately dribbled the ball to not far from Wu Feng, and then quickly got rid of Ford's defense by using a change of direction. Seeing this, Eman Shampoo, who was standing in front of Wu Feng, could only abandon Wu Feng and make up for the defense of Jeff Teager.

Wu Feng's mouth raised slightly. Then he suddenly burst out and rushed directly to the bottom corner opposite.

Jeff Teague had been observing Wu Feng's running position for a long time, so when Wu Feng ran out of the open position, he immediately passed the ball with Larry Drew around and sent the ball to Wu Feng's hand.

"Eman, be careful of the Chinese boy behind you." After seeing this scene, Steve Novak quickly reminded Eman Shampoo.

Hearing this, Eman Shampoo turned around like a conditioned reflex and rushed towards Wu Feng.

I have to say that Eman Shampoo's reaction is still very fast and his explosive power is also good. In addition, his young body is enough to put a lot of pressure on any opponent's players.

But because he was a little further away from Wu Feng, when he was about to cover Wu Feng, the basketball flew over his head.

"Pa", Eman Shampoo's palm directly slapped Wu Feng's back, and his whole body hit Wu Feng's body.

"Swish", "drip", "plop", the first sound is the sound of a basketball hollow into the net, the second sound is naturally the sound of the referee's whistle, and the last sound is the sound of Wu Feng falling to the ground.

Fortunately, Wu Feng has learned to protect himself and is not injured.

As Wu Feng received the opportunity to get extra punishment, the fans of the Phillips Arena immediately cheered and shouted.

…………

"Swish", Al Horford received a lob from Wu Feng and directly squeezed away Tyson Chandler. A beautiful hook shot into the ball.

"Hehe..." Al Horford clenched his fist tightly and placed it on his chest.

It is now the third quarter, and the third quarter is half over, and the score on the field is 67:64.

Originally, the Eagles established a double-digit lead with Wu Feng's consecutive scoring points in the second quarter. However, at the beginning of the second half, Cameron Anthony, the star of the Knicks, led the crowd to counterattack. With three consecutive three-pointers, he also assisted his teammates to score points, narrowing the gap to 1 point in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Cameron Anthony showed the value of a star. Larry Drew looked at Cameron Anthony with a deep sense. Then he looked at Marvin Williams, who had just finished the break, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The basketball was like a blending with Wu Feng in Wu Feng's hands. When he came to the top of the arc, Wu Feng handed the ball to the basket. After Al Horford easily received the ball, he shook his shoulders left and right twice, then turned around and jumped directly to shoot.

"Swish". Al Horford scored another goal.

Knicks head coach Mike Woodson stood up from the coach's seat with some anxiety, and shouted at Tyson Chandler when he walked to him: "Be careful of Al Horford's defense and don't let him catch the ball."

On the Knicks side, Cameron Anthony stood up again and made a goal from the free throw line. He returned the color.

Marvin Williams was very helpless. Cameron Anthony was not only taller than himself, but also had a longer wingspan than himself. Although his bounce was better than the opponent, he just couldn't put defensive pressure on the opponent.

"Ma Wen, press and defend. Don't let him catch the ball easily. Even if he catches the ball, he must block him outside the three-point line." Wu Feng said to Marvin Williams.

Marvin Williams was not surprised why Wu Feng was able to say these words, but nodded.

Jeremy Lin wanted to force Wu Feng to make a mistake in returning to the court, but Wu Feng accelerated directly and got rid of it in disguise. Wu Feng did not slow down, but continued to accelerate, and came to the three-point line facing the basket, and shot another three-pointer.

"Clang", the basketball hit the ring and bounced high. Just when Al Horford jumped up and wanted to do his job in the air, the basketball entered the net with a "swish" sound!

"Great!" Al Horford hugged Wu Feng's neck, patted him on the back, and then returned to the basket to guard his penalty area.

Jeremy Lin handed the ball to Cameron Anthony again, but Cameron Anthony was stared at by Marvin Williams and almost made a mistake after receiving the ball.

There are four minutes left in the third quarter, and now both sides are working hard to try to lead the opponent in the fourth quarter.

Cameron Anthony used the ball to break Marvin Williams. He didn't rush to take action when he reached the basket, but instead swung for a while, then turned back and jumped. Marvin Williams jumped up by Cameron Anthony, but his continuous jumping ability was good. When he jumped for the second time, his palms had already covered Cameron Anthony's eyes.

"Clang", Cameron Anthony finally stopped making moves.

Al Horford and Tyson Chandler competed for rebounds, but the ball was hit. Both players stretched out their fingers and said that the ball was on their own.

The bottom line referee awarded the ball to the home team Knicks, who still has three seconds of offensive time.

Cameron Anthony sent the ball out, then slipped to Amarestoudemire, took the ball from him, and broke through to a 45-degree angle within the left wing three-point line.

Marvin Williams did not keep up, so naturally he failed to block the ball. But when Marvin Williams had no choice but to watch the ball fly towards the basket, with a "pop", the basketball was slapped by Wu Feng.

Koksinridge grabbed the ball and passed it to Wu Feng quickly. However, the Knicks' defense was quick, and Wu Feng did not make a fast break, and he did not have the chance to score three-pointers like last time.

After stabilizing the pace, Wu Feng decided to focus on the inside.

Al Horford has felt very good during this period, and neither Tyson Chandler nor Amarestoudmeier can stop him.

However, this time, Al Horford's catch was not as easy as before. Tyson Chandler implemented a front-circling defense. If it weren't for Wu Feng's back-up, he wouldn't have received the ball at all.

Al Horford, who received the ball, still did not waste this opportunity. He turned around and opened the distance from Tyson Chandler. When he was two steps away from the basket, Al Horford jumped high.

His move was exactly the same as Superman's dunk, and he was very domineering.

Amarestoudmire was unwilling to let Al Horford bomb the basket like this, so he jumped up and tried to block Al Horford.

"Bang" and "drip", the two sounds sounded almost at the same time.

"Roar..." Al Horford roared excitedly.

Amarestoudmire regretted it. If you know this, you won’t pay for this foul.

Knicks head coach Mike Woodson quickly took the opportunity to request a timeout, and he urgently needed to rearrange the team's defense.

"We must go around and defend against Horford to catch the ball. In addition, we must guard against that Chinese boy and prevent him from killing him." Mike Woodson ordered a group of Knicks players.

It’s no wonder that he issued such an order, mainly because Al Horford has attracted much attention during this period. Wu Feng has always been the focus of defense of various teams, so Mike Woodson is like this.

After the timeout, the Knicks indeed implemented a double-player front-circling defense against Al Horford.

Al Horford failed to receive the ball several times, or had a bad position in the receiving ball, and even made two mistakes for it.

"Bang", Amarestoudemire and Jeremy Lin's aerial relay cooperation, and the dunk was successful.

Seeing this, Larry Drew also called for a pause.

"You have Zhang Liang's plan, I have a ladder. Hum..." Larry Drew looked at the Knicks coach seat and snorted coldly.

"Ayer, give up the low post and take the high post cover, and then Wu uses Al's cover to quickly cut in. Wu, you have excellent physical fitness and have stronger lethality in the inside, which can force the opponent to double-team you. At this time, you will pass the ball to Radmanovic in the weak side high post. When the Knicks guys turn back, Al's already in the penalty area. Although it has been a circle, it can completely break their front-circling defense against Al's." Larry Drew said to Wu Feng, Al Horford and others.

Wu Feng and others nodded heavily. Larry Drew's tactics can indeed break the Knicks' front-circling defense against Al Horford.

However, in this case, Wu Feng needs to control the pass. If the control is not good, there will be many mistakes.

After the timeout, the Eagles immediately implemented the tactics arranged by Larry Drew.

While using the tactics arranged by Larry Drew, Wu Feng also used the cooperation with Al Horford's pick-and-roll and air-connecting team. These two sets of play gave the Knicks a big blow, especially when Cameron Anthony's touch gradually became cold.

When the third quarter ended, the score between the two sides became 83:72. The Hawks led the Knicks by 11 points and entered the fourth quarter.

Since Al Horford almost played the third quarter, he was arranged by Larry Drew to sit off the court and rest in the first half of the fourth quarter. However, just as Larry Drew was about to put Al Horford on, he glanced at the scoreboard and gave up the idea of ​​letting Al Horford play.

Al Horford is indeed not needed on the court now, because the Hawks already have a 23-point lead. And there are less than five minutes left before the end of the game. (To be continued...)
