A reporter first asked, "LeBron, you lost the first home game, will that have any impact on the series?"
James waved his hand and replied, "No impact. For the Heat, the goal is the championship, home or away doesn't matter much. We'll take both of your road games in New York!"
Wade also nodded vigorously, giving James a thumbs-up.
The reporter then asked, "You played with incredible dominance in the second game, winning by a large margin. Can you explain the difference between the first and second games? What adjustments did the Heat make?"
James thought for a moment and answered, "In the first game, we were a bit careless. After all, after the All-Star break, the whole team's condition had been very good, and we had defeated the Knicks. So the team was not fully prepared. Of course, losing is not a bad thing. We have learned from it, and in the upcoming games, we will win them all!"
The reporter admired James's confidence and nodded slightly.
Another reporter turned to Wade, "Mr. Wade, your chemistry with James and Bosh is becoming more and more synchronized. What do you think is the biggest advantage this year compared to 2006?"
Wade had won a championship in 2006 and had earned the MVP...
This ability to combine with the ball is truly historic.
Only Chairman Joe could use such a method to drive past opponents and break double teams back in the day.
Li Feng drove past the two and attacked the paint.
Bosh rushed over to help defend.
If it were the first quarter of the past, Li Feng would have passed the ball.
But today, Li Feng had made up his mind to score the first basket to boost the morale of the entire Knicks team!
To let everyone see that even though I have a cold, my condition is still excellent.
Facing Bosh, Li Feng faked a ball-cradle and then glanced at the basket.
For players with such strong shooting ability, a small move can make the defender nervous, and Bosh was no exception.
Bosh immediately raised his hands high, making a blocking gesture.
Who would have thought that Li Feng would perform a "Little Prayer" and slip right past Bosh?
Bosh yelled, "This is bad!" but it was too late.
Li Feng reached the basket and, facing the Heat's center, Cas, didn't hesitate and took off!
Li Feng hadn't had a chance to dunk over the opposing big centers in this playoff run because Yao Ming had returned, and Li Feng usually passed the ball to Yao Ming to finish.
But at this moment, Li Feng's eyes were only on the basket!
Although Cas wasn't a famous top-tier center, he was still a 2.11-meter giant, and he wouldn't allow Li Feng to dunk over him.
So Cas roared, raised his arms, and descended upon Li Feng.
He had already decided that this was the first defensive possession of the game, and the opponent was the Knicks' core, Li Feng.
Even if it meant a foul, he had to stop Li Feng!
This was the Knicks' home court, and they absolutely couldn't let the Knicks gain momentum.
But his thoughts were one thing, and the gap in skill was another.
Li Feng had dunked over too many big centers, how could he let Cas stop him?
*Swish!*
Li Feng got a second jump in the air, not only instantly surpassing Cas's head but also catching the ball with his right hand and making an evasive move in mid-air.
*Bang!*
Li Feng, holding the ball in his right hand, slammed it ferociously into the basket between Cas's outstretched arms!
In fact, Cas's arms were almost together; he intended to prevent Li Feng's dunk.
But Li Feng's strength was truly immense; even a center was no match.
Moreover, with the system's help, Li Feng's hands were also super large.
He gripped the ball and forcefully squeezed it between Cas's arms to get past!
Cas, due to exerting too much force, was bumped by Li Feng in the air and fell to the ground!
*Beep!*
The referee's whistle blew, calling Cas for an offensive foul.
2+1!
This play was incredibly impactful.
The home crowd felt it had been a long time since they had seen Li Feng execute such a powerful dunk.
The entire stadium erupted.
Then, deafening cheers and shouts echoed through the arena.
On the big screen above, the replay of the dunk from various angles was shown repeatedly.
Undoubtedly, this play would be among the top five plays of the day!
After scoring, Li Feng was also very excited. He roared loudly and pounded his chest with one hand.
His teammates also ran over to high-five him and chest bump in celebration!
Just as Li Feng had imagined, this extremely difficult dunk allowed the Knicks teammates to completely shed their psychological burden.
Although Li Feng had a cold, it had not affected his physical condition at all.
He was still the invincible Li Feng!
He would still lead the Knicks to victory!
Li Feng stood at the free-throw line and calmly made the additional free throw.
3:0!
Right from the start, Li Feng had given the Heat a stern warning.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade looked solemn. They knew that Li Feng was responding to them with his performance on the court.
Now, both of them had to respond with even better performances.
The Heat's offense began with James holding the ball in the backcourt.
Li Feng shouted, and Bill Walker and Li Feng immediately ran to the frontcourt to double-team James.
James was stunned. He hadn't expected Li Feng to initiate a full-court press right from the start.
This was a tactic usually used at the end of each quarter or the end of the entire game.
Even though James had excellent ball-handling skills for a small forward, he found it difficult to cope with the double-team.
The reason James was rarely double-teamed in the past was his exceptional court vision and passing ability.
Combined with his height, it allowed him to easily find open teammates.
But now, in the backcourt, who could he pass to?
Wade and Chalmers hurried to the backcourt to receive the pass. James stumbled and passed the ball to Wade.
The offensive clock had already passed 8 seconds, and Wade had crossed halfcourt.
