The playoffs are approaching, but the Pelicans' opponents are getting stronger and stronger, after playing the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans' opponent is the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Thunder are still hovering on the edge of the playoffs because of Durant's season reimbursement, but Wei Shao is in good shape this year.

In the last game, because of the Pelicans' excellent performance, TNT continued to follow up to broadcast the Pelicans' game, but today it is Reggie Miller and his good friend Drexler who will be commentating.

Before the game, Reggie Miller chatted with Drexler, intentionally or unintentionally:

"Man! You see, there is something to see in the West this year, and the Thunder are still fighting for the playoffs. ”

Drexler is the kind of player who is relatively gentle, he doesn't have to be inferior to others in terms of talent, and the reason why he didn't win the championship is that Jordan is in his era, and on the other hand, he has a too gentle personality and has no murderous and malicious intentions.

So now Drexler also said mildly:

"Fierce confrontation makes the game look good! Now the fans love it. ”

Drexler's answer was not what Miller thought at all, although Miller did not have Drakras's body, but his fighting spirit could not be extinguished like a small flame, and Drexler was superhuman, and when he encountered a strong enemy, his fighting spirit seemed to go around like a stream of water.

Miller laughed twice, hid the wildness in his heart, and then said:

"The Thunder are point guard Russell Westbrook, scoring guard Jelyam Lamb, small forward Perry Jones, power forward Ines Kante, and center Adams."

"On the Pelicans' side are point guard Knight and shooting guard Thornton. Small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, center John Henson"

After reading it, Miller immediately said:

"The Thunder's lineup has remained unchanged for thousands of years, without Durant and Ibaka, it is still full of combat effectiveness! The Pelicans actually continued to hide Pau Gasol, and then Rotten and Granger Pierce did not appear in the starting point guard position, John Henson continued to start, and the shooting guard was Thornton's part-time job! ”

Drexler said with a smile on the side:

"The Pelicans are now working hard to train new talents! In this way, the bench is also the world of Turner and others, and the Pelicans are thinking about the future. This is the idea of building a dynasty. ”

Drexler also admired the ruthlessness of the Pelicans on the side, and now the Pelicans are indeed no one available, and they can't do without newcomers, except for newcomers, the rest are old men who can't be beaten.

As they admired the Pelicans' boldness, the game began, with Henson and Adams in the middle circle.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and then watched Henson jump up all of a sudden, half an arm higher than Adams, and point the basketball into Li Feng's hand.

As soon as the scrum was played, Henson shook the Chesapeake Center. Drexler and Miller also froze with their mouths wide open.

Miller says:

"This guy's talent is amazing! This bounce and reach can literally eat Adams, and if this guy can hook his hands and low steps, the pelicans can pick up the treasure. ”

Drexler also said:

"Pelicans have such a vision!"

Li Feng came up with the ball. As soon as he received the ball, there was a round of boos in the Chesapeake Center.

"Shhh

There was a huge boo all over the stadium, before Li Feng and the Thunder had a conflict, now the fans at the Chesapeake Center booed him.

In the midst of boos. Li Feng didn't care, but dribbled with one hand and waved towards the court in the Chesapeake Center with the other. Li Feng provoked the fans, and the Thunder fans booed him even more.

In the midst of the boos of the audience, Li Feng arrived at the half of the Thunder, Lamb immediately pounced to defend Li Feng, and the Thunder used Lamb and Perry Jones to change the defense, after all, Perry Jones has stronger offensive ability, don't consume energy on Li Feng.

Li Feng lowered his eyelids as if he didn't see Lamb, he didn't need any tactics, he broke through with a big step on the left, brought Lamb to the free throw line, and then Li Feng shot directly above Lamb's head.

Li Feng pulled it up and shot, Lamb's body was not bad, and the defense was also trained by Brooks, but he couldn't reach Li Feng's height, so he could only watch Li Feng shoot.

Li Feng put the ball with his right hand, and the basketball "swooped" and fell into the basket all of a sudden, and after scoring, Li Feng glanced contemptuously around the court, the meaning was obvious, the more you booed, the more I wanted to destroy you, and your boos were in vain.

Li Feng's unruly eyes suddenly made the boos on the court even louder, and everyone booed Pelicans and Li Feng wildly.

In this atmosphere, the Thunder attacked here, and Li Feng didn't have any tactics, so he just pulled out.

Wei Shao took the ball to the top of the arc, and saw his teammates running without the ball in the position, covering each other, he was in the general direction behind him, and when he saw that direction had the best chance, he passed the ball to that side.

Because of the lack of Durant, Wei Shao understood the importance of some teams after a series of one-man rebellions, especially the fight for a playoff spot, and he began to pass the ball.

Wei Shao and Paul are both good point guards, but the two have different organizational styles, Wei Shao has to watch his teammates run and his teammates cooperate with him to find a chance to pass, Wei Shao is suitable for a team with mature tactics.

And Paul is not, Paul is the same as Nash, you throw this person there, he is a system, everyone pulls away and moves casually, Paul comes up and breaks through the mix, and then everyone has a chance.

Wei Shao is also because of this characteristic, at this time, Perry Jones ran quickly on the court, and suddenly ran to the middle.

Willis passed the ball to Perry Jones, who was close to the basket and threw a hook back.

Perry Jones fired the first shot for the Thunder and scored the first point, which was both a bit unexpected and reasonable, because compared with the lineups of the two teams, the two most dominant points of the Thunder are also Wei Shao's No. 1 position, and the other is Perry Jones' No. 3.

Although Perry Jones and Thornton are both non-trivial forwards, Perry Jones is much tougher defensively than Thornton, and the offense is much more cunning, and Perry Jones can use n cunning methods to score piecemeal, and Thornton wants to score on Perry Jones. Quite difficult.

The effect of the first round between the two teams is that the Pelicans have individual stars and the Thunder have the whole.

The Pelicans lost points in the opening game, and Knight quickly advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and the Pelicans are not a very slow-paced team.

With so many young players in the Pelicans, the turmoil of youth can't be suppressed, and it's impossible for you to let them slow down.

Knight came over to find Li Feng first, and as soon as Li Feng got the ball here, there was another boo in the Chesapeake Center.

The fans at the Chesapeake Center still booed Li Feng, and Li Feng glanced at Brooks on the bench out of the corner of his eye.

There is no sense of disrespect. took the ball and immediately took a step forward to stab, Lamb retreated sharply, Li Feng retracted it again, and before Lamb could stand firm, Li Feng rushed forward in the opposite direction.

As soon as Lamb twisted in the opposite direction, he tripped himself over at once, Li Feng shook Lamb, took a small step forward, and got up and threw a wiping board of the middle distance.

The ball is in again!

Li Feng made two mid-range shots in a row. The shot was clean and clean, and the Thunder's accustomed one-man defense had no effect on Li Feng.

At this time, Drexler, who was in the commentary seat, couldn't help it and said:

"The Thunder should have a different person to defend Li Feng. Lamb is only 2.01 meters tall and suffers, and no Li Feng can jump yet, if Li Feng throws like this, Thunder has no choice! ”

Miller nodded as well. But he glanced at the time and said:

"But it's only been less than a minute since the game started, and I think Brooks can be patient."

Miller had miscalculated Brooks' patience, the old man was not young. But the anger is still very big, and at this time, I saw that my players let Li Feng score by the same means twice.

Immediately Brooks stood on the sidelines and began to scold Lamb, scolding Wei Shao, and the two people who scolded were bloody sprinklers.

Brooks is an old-fashioned coach, he doesn't care what star he is, he's the boss of the team, so he swears people when he comes up.

Lamb is a good child, and he who was scolded at this time also bowed his head and was silent, Wei Shao made Brooks scold when he first came to the NBA, and now although his wings are hard, he still doesn't dare to openly contradict Brooks, so he can only endure it on the side!

With anger in his heart, Wei Shao immediately vented his anger at his opponent, came over again and directly resisted Knight with his body, and then broke through to the Pelicans' inner line.

Knight couldn't beat Wei Shao, who had practiced wrestling, but at this time, the Pelicans' defensive intensity was different from before, and Henson immediately rushed up to block Wei Shao's breakthrough route.

Henson, who was tall and had long arms, was able to hold his feet like a parasol to block the basket.

Wei Shao could only turn around and pass the ball to Adams on the baseline, Adams is a three-point center, take the ball and see that he is in the three-point line, immediately dribble and take a step back, and then shoot a three-point shot.

But as far as Adams took a step back, in just such a short time, Henson turned around and was one step away in front of Adams, Henson not only had a good bounce and good arm span, but also moved fast and had a big step.

Henson's defense was already in place, Adams should have passed the ball in, at this time Perry Jones had already cut in the air, but Adams still didn't pass the ball, he still looked down on Henson, he thought that one step away, his height The opponent couldn't defend, so Adams actually got up and pulled three points directly.

Adams' three-point shooting is upside down, he doesn't jump high, he doesn't shoot far behind, and he usually shoots with his height.

Now that he is still doing this, he suddenly made a big mistake.

He miscalculated Henson's talent, and the difference between Henson and other defensive players, Henson was like a monster compared to other players, he was a player who was out of the normal rules of basketball.

He has this potential, and he has this ability, so when Adams' three-point shot was made, Henson flew up and slapped Adams' three-pointer to the outside of the sideline.

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, Henson shook the pitch with his talent, which if unleashed as an elephant in your living room.

Both Adams and the Thunder players were stunned by Henson, and then Brooks' swearing came again.

The Thunder player remembered to restart the game on the sideline, and Carlos turned around on the sideline and quickly threw the basketball into Wei Shao's hands.

Wei Shao went up to 45 degrees and Perry Jones to cover, Perry Jones blocked it with a hard bone, and then immediately turned back and cut to the Pelicans' basket.

Wei Shao gave the ball to Perry Jones at the right time, and Perry Jones came up with the ball to attack the basket, and at this time, he saw Henson come again. However, this time Henson did not block the opponent with a beautiful block, but made a dizziness, came over and hit Perry Jones from the side, and Perry Jones missed the shot in a weightless state.

Perry Jones cheated Henson into a foul, and the ball was even a little biased because Henson didn't take it himself.

Henson showed his talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he immediately showed his brain-dead defence.

Going to the free throw line, Perry Jones hit one of two free throws, the Thunder scored three points, and the Pelicans scored four points on two free throws.

The opening score difference was not much, but it looked clear that the Pelicans scored a little more straightforwardly. The main reason is that Li Feng's opening two mid-range shots are too smooth, and now that the Pelicans are coming over for the third time, Knight still gives the ball to Li Feng.

Americans play ball, who plays well, desperately forgets the ball and throws it in one person's hand, everyone knows that his hands are hot, so let him stay hot all the time.

Li Feng got the ball for the third time, and the boos in the Chesapeake Center immediately raised to another level, and the whole audience was booed.

"Shhh

Boos from the audience. Brooks was also pointing at Lamb on the sidelines and yelling:

"Put pressure on his body, put pressure on him, Perry Jones will go up for me!"

Brooks also plays the Celtics set, with the top one up front. There was also an assistant defense in the back, and when Li Feng saw that Brooks was really playing with him, he immediately stabbed a step, and then retracted it just in time to shoot Lamb didn't give Li Feng this chance. came up and ran to someone, and slapped Li Feng on the arm.

Lamb sent Li Feng to the free throw line, and Li Feng hit one of two free throws at the free throw line. It was also a point.

At this time, in order to prevent Li Feng from shooting, Lamb used all kinds of tricks, and he didn't hesitate to foul, this is a microcosm of the Thunder, in order to be able to defend the opponent, the opponent can use any trick, which is dirty.

But the game is not for showing, it's about winning, and the Thunder's dirtiness is understandable, you can hate him, but he just shows you a basketball attitude.

Li Feng hit a free throw, and Van Gundy hurriedly shouted at Li Feng on the sidelines:

'It's your responsibility to organise the team, to organise the team a little bit, that's also your responsibility.

Li Feng nodded to Van Gundy after the free throw, he just made three consecutive shots, and then he should pass the ball, and the team's system will freeze if he doesn't pass the ball, so Li Feng is not dissatisfied with this.

Thunder ran over, under the command of Wei Shao, and ran a Kante tactic.

Just watch Perry Jones and Adams stand on both sides of the penalty area, and then Kante runs around the two of them like an off-ball shooter, and then they both come out to the top just empty, Wei Shao passes, Kante jumps from close range, and the Thunder score two points!

The tactics of this big forward pulling out the mid-range shot around the cover in the restricted area are rare in other teams in the league, but there are still them here in the Thunder, their tactics are like living fossils, and the Thunder are still playing when other teams dislike this tactic and are laborious, and they are playing a single board, rigorous and orderly, this is the Thunder's basketball.

Brooks saw a successful tactic, and although his face was calm, he felt comfortable.

Li Feng just made 3 shots in a row, this time he didn't go up to the front to catch the ball, but penetrated all the way to the bottom line, and then quickly pulled to the bottom corner to open up space for teammates to play.

As soon as Knight saw this, he immediately threw the basketball to Al Jefferson, who was on the court.

At this time, the Pelicans have two cores on the court, Al Jefferson on the inside, Li Feng on the outside, and Al Jefferson on the outside.

Jefferson swept the ball behind Kante, Al Jefferson is not very afraid of Kante, the main reason is that Kante is thinner than him, and both of them belong to the upper middle of the body, excellent technical type, he is a huge advantage in the physical confrontation.

So Al Jefferson took the ball very resolutely and played, dribbled a step, turned over and shot directly with a straight arm, Kante really couldn't reach Al Jefferson, so he could only let Al Jefferson also shoot such a turnover jumper.

In just such a short time, the No. 4 positions of the two teams also fought, each scoring 2 points, and judging from the opening 2 minutes, the Pelicans did not lose to the Thunder. There is still the strength of a fight.

However, this effect is also achieved because it is only the first quarter, both teams are playing the ball, testing each other, and both sides are looking for feelings at the beginning of the first quarter, and it is not yet time to fight to the death.

The Thunder were pushing forward at this time, still grinding in the tactics, Perry Jones quickly passed the double cover of the baseline to 45 degrees to get the ball, and then turned around and passed the basketball to Adams, who was in the main position of the interior card.

Adams is characterized by shooting three-pointers, but he doesn't know how to shoot to the basket. You can also hit twice under the basket.

Adams, who received the basketball, immediately had bad water in his stomach, took the ball and dribbled a step, and then suddenly turned over and made a shooting feint, Henson likes to fly when everything happens, and he has to fly when his eyes go up, and now Adams has made a feint, can he not fly.

As soon as Adams saw Henson flying, he immediately posted it to cheat a foul, and then threw the ball forward, trying to make it 2+1, but it didn't work.

Adams cheated Henson of another foul. At this time, Henson got angry and yelled in frustration, it was only 2 minutes into the game, and he fouled twice!

When Adams walked to the free-throw line. Henson's depressed back swapped, and this time Van Gundy was more conservative with Kelly.

Although Kelly looks white, the leather is durable, and there will be no extraordinary effects and no major problems.

And so it goes. The game between the Thunder and Pelicans went into a fixed track, with the Thunder mainly using three fronts to complete the offense, with Wei Shao occasionally shooting from a distance and assaulting. On the Pelicans' side, Li Feng and Al Jefferson are the main offensive workhorses, occasionally giving the outside line a chance to shoot or break through.

In this state of stalemate, the two teams resisted to the second half of the first quarter, at this time the Pelicans also led the Thunder by 3 points, 19-16.

It's not easy for the Thunder to score, because unfortunately the Pelicans' strength is also the inside, Kelly is old but doesn't make mistakes, Al Jefferson is physically upper, but he moves fast enough, Thornton is also a non-trivial forward with weight, and it is very difficult for the Thunder to beat the Pelicans.

At this time, the two teams have almost warmed up, the Thunder first began to change the substitution, the Thunder team is a formed team, and the substitute will be on the bench at the point, and the rules are very orderly, which the average team can't do.

The Thunder's first bench was Nickerson and Morrow, two of whom must have replaced N'Golo Kante and one for Lamb.

The Thunder made an early substitution, and Van Gundy on the Pelicans side couldn't keep leaning on the other side like this, and he also made substitutions, and he replaced Granger and Rotten when he came up.

The two teams gradually entered the bench time, and the gap appeared at this time, the Thunder's bench was well-trained, and it was Brooks' carefully tuned elite soldiers, and these people were all trained by Brooks' conditioned reflexes to be generally fast and effective, while the Pelicans' group of players were generally run-in because of injuries, and their tactical proficiency was not proportional to the Thunder.

So the Thunder substitution came back, when Morrow ran around the court for half a lap and Li Feng was blocked by Nixon, the Pelicans made another mistake on the defensive end, and no one went up to make up for the defense, and Morrow would not be soft as a strategic shooter.

Take the ball and turn back for a three-pointer, and the three-point shot is immediately shot, and he catches up with the score at once.

The two teams returned to the 19-19 level, and at this time, Luo Teng quickly advanced with the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, who came up to break through the penalty area that squeezed the Thunder, and then turned back and passed the ball to Granger.

Granger shot very close to the basket, but when he was about to make a shot, there was a loud noise of interference in the center of the Chesapeake, so Granger missed the shot.

At this time, Li Feng realized one thing, this is the first time that his little brothers have played away, and it is still a vicious away game.

Granger missed his first shot and got off to a bad start, and then Granger missed three shots in a row, all of which were missed, and he didn't have his usual steady appearance at all.

This situation has dealt a big blow to the Pelicans, who originally had to rely on Granger to hold up bench time.

But now that Granger is unstable, the Pelicans are completely helpless by the Thunder in the final minutes of the first quarter.

In just over 2 minutes, the bench of Nixon, Morrow, Waiters, DJ Augustin, and the Thunder almost ate the Pelicans.

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder had a six-point lead over the Pelicans, 28-22, and the Pelicans didn't score much points in the more than two minutes they came off the bench.
