Chapter 286 Grandpa Lu's Tactics
Chapter 280

In the next few games, Lei Feng has been the starting center of the guest team. Although it is not as strong as when Magic Johnson played the center, but after four games, Lei Feng's final statistics are extremely dazzling!
The data of 17.5 points, 18.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.5 blocks has been scored, which seems to be the data of a top insider in the league!

Countless teams were dumbfounded. My good guy, Lei Feng's value is so high that it's scary. Among other things, his performance in the second round of the playoffs as a guest center is enough to be worth the maximum salary!
Not to mention that Lei Feng's performance in the backcourt position is even stronger!

The bosses of each team are envious of the Knicks. They saved the universe in their previous life. They are so lucky that they get such an all-round cornerstone player like Lei Feng!

But they also know that Lei Feng is obviously unlikely to leave in the Knicks. After all, the Knicks have such a good record, have salary space, and the ball market is also big. The teams really can't think of any reason for Lei Feng. Leave the Knicks.

After the four games were played, the Knicks easily swept away the opponent Lukay. During this period, in these four games, Gobert did not appear at all, and Lei Fenglai always played the starting center.

……

The Knicks were able to sweep the Green Kai, which in the eyes of the fans, was expected and unexpected...

It is expected that the Green Kai lineup is not good. Compared with the Knicks lineup, the gap is too big. It is a normal thing to be swept!

The unexpected was due to Gobert's injury. The fans didn't expect the Knicks to sweep away Green Kai so easily after giving up Gobert. It's really incredible!

……

After the second round of the playoffs, the Knicks did not slack off. While training and preparing for the game, they studied the Cavaliers' recent games!
The Raptors finally got back a home court in the hands of the Cavaliers and avoided the bad luck of being swept, but it was inevitable that they would be eliminated.

In the end, the Cavaliers eliminated the Raptors with a big score of 4:1!

The Knicks watched the Cavaliers' games against the Raptors carefully at least twice, and they are still a little apprehensive about the overall strength of the Cavaliers.

But they are not too worried. As the top team in the Eastern Conference, they have an extra home court advantage over the Cavaliers.

Don't underestimate this home field advantage, it may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
After the Cavaliers defeated the Raptors, they did not dare to relax, and immediately invested in training and preparing for the game. Naturally, they also studied the Knicks game.

These two teams will regard each other as the biggest opponents rushing out of the Eastern Conference, especially the Cavaliers. They were defeated by the Warriors last season, and they are trying to avenge the Warriors this season. will fail...

In addition, James' contracts are all 1+1 years. If James doesn't rush out of the Eastern Conference this season and just quits, the Cavaliers will almost collapse completely...

Based on the above reasons, the Cavaliers should pay more attention to the next Eastern Conference Finals than the Knicks!
……

In the West, the Warriors played against the Trail Blazers, and it also ended with a big score of 4:1. The Trail Blazers were sadly eliminated...

As for the two teams, the Spurs and the Thunder, the current battle is in full swing. In the end, the Thunder relied on the combination of Wang Zhan to win slightly, and approached the Western Conference Finals with a big score of 4:3!
There is no doubt that this season is another successful season for the Thunder. Durant, who was reimbursed last season, has achieved immediate results after his comeback this season. , to the height of the Western Conference Finals.

……

If the first two rounds of the playoffs can only be regarded as appetizers, then the real feast is coming!

On May 5th, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals will start!
The Knicks sit at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers!
As an upstart in the East, although the record and performance in the playoffs are better than the Cavaliers, the number of fans who are optimistic that the Knicks can pass the Cavaliers is not too many, at most it is [-]-[-] with the Cavaliers ...

"Charles, what do you think of this round of the Eastern Conference Finals?" O'Neal asked Barkley beside him.

"It's really hard to say, just like I was optimistic about the Cavaliers winning the championship last season, and then the Warriors won the championship. My mouth may be poisonous, so I will not predict the result casually..." Barkley said painfully.

In the finals of last season, he once said that the jumper team would never win the championship. In the end, the Warriors won the championship, which made Barkley's face slap...

"You just predict a little bit, anyway, you didn't make a wrong prediction once or twice..." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll make a prediction..."

"I think the final winner should be the Cavaliers. Regardless of the Knicks' record and the outstanding performance in the first two rounds of the playoffs, their team has a fatal problem, that is, lack of experience in the playoffs!"

"Think about the Cavaliers' lineup, which has played in the finals, and what about the Knicks? Among the starting five, except for the two veterans Anthony and Rondo, the remaining three are all new melon eggs! "

"Of course, I don't deny that the three new Guadanzi are very good, but who knows, I have seen countless times that the new Guadanzi performed abnormally in the finals, including James of the Cavaliers!"

"So, I feel that the knight with more experience will be the final winner!"

"It's just that if the Cavaliers want to win, it must not be that easy. The last two teams may end the Eastern Conference Finals with a big score of 4:3!"

Barkley spoke eloquently, and what he said was well-founded. O'Neill and Kenny Smith nodded repeatedly, obviously approving Barkley's idea.

"Haha, it's stable, the Knicks are stable in rushing out of the East, with Barkley's poisonous milk, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to enter the finals..."

"With Barkley's words, then I can rest assured that the Knicks will enter the finals, thanks to Barkley!"

"I beg Barkley to continue to predict that the Warriors will win the championship!"

Hearing that Barkley said that the Knicks would be eliminated by the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals with a big score of 4:3, the Knicks fans laughed instead of anger, and ridiculed Barkley. Everyone knows that Barkley is a famous poisonous milk , basically none of his predictions are accurate.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the field one after another.

"Ray, how do you feel? Are you nervous?" Anthony sat beside Lei Feng and said to Lei Feng.

Lei Feng smiled lightly and shook his head, which is strange to say, logically speaking, this is the first time Lei Feng has played in the finals, so he must be nervous.

But right now, Lei Feng doesn't feel any nervousness at all, and he's very relaxed...

Maybe this is the player who is often said to be born for the big scene!
"Don't be nervous, MELO, why do I feel that you are more nervous than me!" Lei Feng asked with a smile, because he could clearly feel that Anthony's face was a little restless...

"Eh..." Anthony was a little embarrassed. He originally came to enlighten Lei Feng as a spiritual mentor, but he never expected that he seemed to be the one who needed to be enlightened.

As Lei Feng said, Anthony is really nervous now...

Even more nervous than when he made it to the Western Conference Finals for the first time!

At that time, Anthony's heart was higher than the sky, and he was confident that as long as he had a good lineup and teammates, let alone a small Western Conference finals, he would definitely win the championship!

But after years of tempering, Anthony no longer has such thoughts...

He is well aware of his situation, if he can't make a breakthrough this season, I'm afraid he will be like this when he retires, and he won't have any honor...

It can be said that this Eastern Conference Finals is much more important to Anthony than that Western Conference Finals!

The more important, the more concerned, the more nervous!

"Relax, MELO, I can guarantee that the final winner will be us!" Lei Feng said, patting Anthony on the shoulder.

"You kid, really...how does it feel like I'm a rookie and you're an old player..." Anthony rolled his eyes and said.

……

On the opposite bench, James waved at Anthony.

Anthony also beckoned...

Neither of these two people came on stage to say hello. Although they have a good relationship, the two of them have become rivals now, and they are still terrific rivals. In this round of the series, no one can afford to lose, whether it is Anthony or James!

If you lose, the ending will be miserable...

If Anthony loses, who knows if there will be such a chance to compete for the championship in the future!
And if James loses, among other things, his historical status will definitely decline, and he will basically lose the opportunity to surpass Jordan.

"Okay, guys, come on! This is our home court, I don't want to see the loss, I don't even want to see the situation behind!" Fisher stood on the edge of the bench as the game was about to start , shouting at the Knicks generals with a tactical board in hand!
Tactics and matchups have been arranged in the locker room, and Fisher is just instilling chicken soup to the players right now.

Just like the matchup strategy arranged before, Lei Feng's opponent in this game is James, and Anthony is going to defend his younger brother JR Smith!
The Knicks insider Gemini is against Love and the Eight Sage Kings!

As for Rondo, it is against Irving!

Real soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals!

"Beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the players on both sides began to contact each other.

James suddenly found out that Lei Feng had found him. He originally thought that the Knicks would send Anthony to defend him!
"Boy! Fisher really doesn't know anything about tactics. He even sent a rookie like you to defend me. Believe me, you should switch defenses with Anthony!" James sneered at Lei Feng.

Lei Feng knew very well that the competition had already started from the second he appeared on the stage, and James had already started talking trash.

"Do you think I can't guard against you?" Lei Feng also asked with a sneer.

"Could it be that you think you can guard against me?" James said disdainfully.

"I'm afraid no one will think that my strength is worse than Leonard or Iguodala. They can prevent you, why can't I!"

"Besides, you seem to have only won one of the four games we played against each other this season!"

Lei Feng was not polite, and immediately fought back!
This season, the Knicks and the Cavaliers did meet four times in the regular season, and the Knicks won three of them!

The first time Anthony was injured, Lei Feng led the team alone, played a miraculous performance, and led the team to win against James!

As for the second time, the Cavaliers' loss was justifiable, because they had strife in the locker room, and the head coach Blatter was fired as soon as the game ended.

As for the next two matches, the Knicks and the Cavaliers both won one and lost one, evenly matched!

But in any case, the Knicks still have the advantage on the books, so Lei Feng has the confidence to say this.

James' expression turned ugly. Lei Feng's words just now were a bit disgusting. James' career has been up to now. The two things that are very aggrieved are probably losing the championship to the Spurs and the Warriors respectively.

And in those two rounds of the series, the two players who played against him won the FMVP respectively...

Speaking of it, Leonard and Iguodala's defense against James is indeed good, but it can't be said that they can completely prevent James. Lei Feng naturally knows it, but he deliberately said it to disgust James...

"Hmph, you are very eloquent, kid. I will blow you up in a while, blow you up in your home court, and let your fans see how weak you are!" James gritted his teeth and pointed at Lei Feng. Said.

Lei Feng smiled and waved his hands, and replied disdainfully: "The same is for you, but I will blow you up in my home court, and then show them how weak you are in front of my fans!"

The two glared at each other, full of gunpowder!

Anthony smiled at Lei Feng and James' confrontation, and he didn't mean to relieve it at all. He is also an old player, so he naturally knows that trash talk is part of the game. Besides, Lei Feng's trash talk is not at all inferior, and Anthony is very relieved. ...

If Lei Feng can make what James said irrational, then Anthony may wake up laughing from his dreams...

……

"Beep beep!" The referee blew his whistle again, signaling the jumpers on both sides to step up to the midfield line.

Rondo is ready, can the eight sages win with a broken arm and short leg and a jump ball with Gobert?no kidding……

Gobert, who is tall and long, easily won the ball for the Knicks in the first offensive round, and Rondo took the ball and advanced.

Judging from the defensive positions of the Cavaliers, they really came prepared. In this game, the team leader coach Grandpa Lu adopted a zone defense tactic. It’s because the Knicks have a lot of attack points. Lei Feng and Anthony are both top attackers in the league. Once one of them is double-teamed, the other will definitely bloom...

Even Porzingis is a great threat to the Cavaliers!

So they simply gave up the double-team tactics and switched to zone defense.
