Chapter 673: Suppressing the 76ers from the Opening Tip! Suppressing Iverson! The immense pressure of his height and wingspan directly disrupted Iverson's shooting rhythm.
The ball struck the front of the rim and bounced out.
Li Fei held his position steadily and easily secured the defensive rebound.
Without hesitation, he fired a precise outlet pass downcourt to Allan Houston.
The Mid-Range King was left wide open and casually laid it in for another two points.
4-0. In barely a minute, the Knicks had taken a firm lead.
The 76ers organized another attack, but Iverson refused to give in and continued attacking with the ball.
This time, he forced his way into the paint, hoping to score through contact.
But inside the restricted area, Li Fei stood like an immovable iron wall.
His Titanium Alloy Physique granted him supreme strength in physical confrontations, and he did not budge an inch.
Iverson crashed into him, only to be bounced away by the sheer force of the collision.
Offensive foul. The 76ers' possession ended in a turnover.
The fans erupted in cheers, applauding Li Fei's tough interior defense.
The Knicks switched from defense to offense and continued with their half-court attack.
Li Fei called for the ball in the low post, backing down the 76ers' interior center.
Rather than brutally banging away beneath the basket, he spun around and took one step to create space.
His signature, reliable mid-range turnaround jumper left his hand with perfect fluidity.
Swish! Nothing but net. Another two points.
6-0. The gap continued to widen.
Van Gundy stood calmly on the sideline, showing no intention of making any in-game adjustments.
He knew perfectly well that with Li Fei and Jordan as the team's twin cores, the Knicks did not need tactical changes at the start of the game.
