Chapter 858: The duel of the top power forwards

The Pelicans players walked into the locker room with their heads down, they fell into a dull mood again, Li Feng felt that he should say something at this time, and now his teammates don't feel it, in fact, it's only 12 points, the Pelicans definitely still have a chance, Li Feng believes that his teammates are much stronger than their enemies.

So Li Feng sat in his place and said loudly:

"Hey, brothers, I want to say two things."

Li Feng said this, and the Pelicans players all looked at Li Feng, and Li Feng said:

"The Grizzlies played hard in the first half, I think they were stimulated by the last game, we stimulated the Grizzlies, and today they came to get revenge, and I think everyone should see that they are coming to us for revenge."

"Those guys were desperate today, so we can't hide it, guys, I think we need to play with them in the second half, otherwise we're going to die."

As soon as Li Feng said this, he made a start, and Millsap immediately said in the back:

"The Grizzly Bears guys are really crazy today, they are all crazy, and they all feel very good, they hit several balloons in front of me, we used to get into the balloons, and now it's the Grizzlies' turn, it feels very uncomfortable, we need to come to the Grizzlies to curb the Grizzlies, anyway, we don't feel good today."

As soon as Millsap said this, Li Feng also felt that this was the only way, the luck of the grizzly bear was very good today, but the pelican seemed to be unusually weak, and at this time it was only hardness that could be compared with the grizzly bear.

In the last game, the Grizzlies were weaker and the Pelicans were harder, and today in this game the Pelicans are weaker and the Grizzlies are harder, and the hardness has become a means for the weak to threaten the strong.

"Yes, we fought with them."

"I don't believe it, I can't fight those old ghosts."

The Pelicans' locker room was filled with voices like this, and just then, Van Gundy pushed the door open and walked in, hearing a little bit of the tail of the argument.

So Van Gundy laughed:

"How are you talking about how to deal with grizzly bears?"

Van Gundy said. The Pelicans players immediately burst into laughter.

Ross Quick Mouth Says:

"Yes sir, we're going to use our shoulders and muscles to fight the old grizzly stuff."

When Van Gundy heard this, he smiled and waved his hand and said:

"I'm glad to see that people want to use muscles against grizzlies, but I think the most important thing to deal with grizzlies right now is definitely not muscles, but time and space."

As soon as Van Gundy said this, as the head coach, he was a little more accurate than the others in terms of tactics and overall feeling on the court, and the rest of the Pelicans immediately stopped listening to Van Gundy's analysis.

"The Grizzlies were on high alert in the first half, and in terms of playing time. The Grizzlies have a significantly higher playing time than usual, and I think they can't hold on to this kind of high-intensity defense until the end, so we need time. ”

"Another point is that we can fight the Grizzlies for hardness, but it's not the best way to fight for hardness, and we can use more skillful ways to get the game into our tracks, such as strengthening the fast attack. For example, we can strengthen the space control in the half court and create problems for the Grizzlies, so we can not fight hard with the Grizzlies in the second half, but use time and space. ”

Van Gundy walked in. It is natural to support the tactical part of the team, with the support of Van Gundy, with Li Feng's encouragement, there is a lot of power and sound in the Pelicans' locker room.

The Pelicans' players are confident of the second half.

The second half of the game begins. The opening was the Pelicans' possession, Li Feng went to the baseline to get the ball, and then quickly pressed towards the Grizzlies' half. At this time, Hubi Brown sat in his place, Hubi Brown is a master of basketball, and he saw at a glance that the Pelicans' position was very different from the first half.

This position looks a lot looser, the position is a lot wider, and Millsap is also much farther away from the basket, this position, does the Pelicans want to use the space to pull the Grizzlies?

Old Hubby Brown turned his head slightly, and he guessed what the Pelicans were thinking, and in terms of tactics, there was nothing to hide from this old thing.

The Pelicans opened the space, Li Feng went to the left 45 degrees and Conley to do a one-on-one confrontation, Li Feng actually leaned sideways and leaned on Conley with his ass to completely attract Conley to his side.

When the bodies of the two people were close together, Li Feng resisted twice, allowing Conley to completely shift his focus to the front, Li Feng suddenly hugged Conley with his arm, and then the whole body twisted, using Anthony's way, pressing the opponent with his shoulders and breaking through behind him.

Pressed with his shoulder, as long as the opponent's strength is weaker than you, there is no way to take you, Li Feng used this trick to break through to the grizzly bear's basket at once, and then opened his palm and made a high throw like Conley.

But today Li Feng's own hand is also very weak, he didn't hit the basketball, and he smashed it on the rebound all of a sudden, which was outrageous, Li Feng was very depressed, and his shot was declining, there was no way, Li Feng, who had rushed to the basket, could only get up and fight for the rebound again.

Because the Pelicans pulled the space very open, under the basket, there was only Gasol Jr., and Conley who followed in, the basketball did not jump towards Gasol Jr., but jumped to Li Feng's side, and Li Feng took the basketball back into his hand with his body and long arms as a matter of course.

Li Feng, who grabbed the basketball, quickly wiped the basketball towards the basket, Li Feng wanted to score a quick goal.

But Li Feng's luck was very bad, Li Feng didn't get into the wipe shot under the basket, the basketball was bumping on the rebound and the basket, and then jumped out quickly again.

Li Feng scolded secretly, his luck was really unlucky, and he didn't hit a shot so closely, which was extremely depressing.

And this time the basketball jumped towards Gasol Jr., Li Feng was already desperate, and the first ball in the second half was destroyed by himself, but what Li Feng didn't expect was.

Al Jefferson clicked the basketball from behind at the critical moment without a position, and suddenly pointed the basketball to Li Feng's side, and Li Feng received the rebound in the front court for the second time.

At this time, the Grizzlies' interior line has not yet arrived, because they obviously see that Gasol Jr. is in a better position. thought that this rebound must have arrived, but what they didn't expect was that Li Feng got the basketball here again.

This time, they didn't know if they should go back, Li Feng would still throw it, this is the first idea of the Grizzlies people, not only the Grizzly Bears players have such thoughts, but even Li Feng himself has such thoughts, so Li Feng simply stopped shooting, but dunked instead.

After getting the basketball, Li Feng dribbled violently. Killed Conley, then turned around suddenly, twisted Conley away with his shoulder, and smashed the basketball on the Grizzlies' basket with a ferocious slam in the way that the big shark O'Neal usually used to turn and dunk.

After Li Feng's ferocious dunk, his heart finally calmed down, the ball was finally put in, it was not easy, and Li Feng wiped a handful of sweat after the goal.

Then he quickly ran back to his own half. In the second half, the pent-up anger was eased a little, because the Grizzlies' lead in the first half made the Grizzlies players feel more or less inside from the bottom of their hearts. There was not so much resentment in the second half.

The Grizzlies, who had no resentment, played a little more lively in the half, and Prince and Zach Randolph even came to a very wonderful combination, Prince received the ball in the bottom corner and dribbled two steps along the baseline. A quick pass came out of Prince's one-handed hand and went straight to Randolph in the back.

Randolph made a layup and scored two points with ease. The grizzly bear has become rounded, which is good news for the pelican, the pelican is not afraid of the sleek grizzly bear, but the kind of grizzly bear that looks like a white and depressed wolf.

Rick Smitts saw his ball and lost it, and sighed regretfully.

When Hubie Brown heard this sigh, he laughed and asked:

"Smith, what are you sighing about, why are you sighing, the Pelicans should be fighting back from now on."

Rick Smitz, who did not have the discerning eye of Hubby Brown, sighed and said:

"The Grizzlies are playing basketball more skillfully, so the pressure on the Pelicans' defense will probably become even greater."

Hearing Smitz say this, Hubie Brown immediately laughed and said:

"Smith, now is the beginning of the Pelicans' counterattack, what are you afraid of, I don't believe you came to watch the game."

As soon as Hubie Brown said this, Smitz immediately probed and said:

"Really."

Just as Smith said this, the Pelicans quickly launched a chasing attack, and Li Feng got the basketball and threw the basketball directly into Rose's hands, because Rose was the closest person to the basket at this time.

Rose got the basketball and ran several steps towards the Grizzlies' basket, and when he reached the free throw line, the guy suddenly made a sharp stop and made a quick shot, which was actually a pull-up jump shot.

Tony Allen, who hadn't paid much attention to Rose today, was too late to defend, and the basketball simply got into the Grizzlies' basket.

The first half of the game belonged to the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies used their crazy offense to completely suppress the Pelicans.

But at the beginning of the second half, the game started to fall into place, and the Pelicans' tactics against the Grizzlies began to change.

It's like a 45-minute run, and you don't have to start leading, and you don't have to be able to lead later, and you can't even try to be behind the Pelicans.

There are many variables that affect a game, and every subtle change will have an absolute impact on the game.

The Pelicans quickly retreated, and against the current Grizzlies defense, the Pelicans players rotated rapidly, and the Grizzlies are now playing very rigorously conduction, and finally the basketball fell into the hands of Randolph.

Randolph turned around and ate Millsap alone, and Millsap felt good in the first half, but in the second half he never felt it, and the basketball quickly jumped out and the Pelicans reorganized the offense.

The changes the Pelicans made to the Pelicans in the second half were obvious, and they used more time and space.

Li Feng dribbled to the Pelicans' half, and seeing that the opponent concentrated heavy troops on his body to defend, Li Feng immediately passed the basketball to Arenas, and then took the defense away himself, leaving space for Arenas to use.

Li Feng believes that Arenas will definitely make good use of this space, and he will definitely be able to use such a space to score points.

Sure enough, Arenas used Arenas' cover as soon as he reached the high position, and then pulled himself slightly to the side. At this time, Randolph, who was following Millsap's ass, was a little slower.

Arenas shot on the three-point line, Arenas's shot was very fast, in the blink of an eye, Arenas hit this three-point shot in Randolph's hand, Arenas's height and flexibility, although not as perverted as Nowitzki, but as long as he is given a step, he can still shoot easily.

The Pelicans' offense began to become clearer, giving the Grizzlies less of a chance of contact and more of a technical ability to score points.

These rounds have passed. Robert Pera also saw that the Pelicans were going to use their absolute strength to suppress the Grizzlies, which was definitely a huge bad news for the Grizzlies.

But Robert Pera can't be so willing, he immediately signaled his team on the sidelines to strengthen the Pelicans' interior attack, you don't play with my body, then I will use my body to rely on you.

It's an interesting idea, but it sticks to the Grizzly style of play, and now the Grizzlies game style requires more physical confrontation and more hand-to-hand combat. This kind of fight is more reflective of the grizzly bear's experience, especially the experience of some small movements.

When Robert Pera gave instructions, the Grizzlies arrived at the Pelicans' half court and immediately hoisted the basketball into Zach Randolph's hands under the basket.

Zach Randolph has been known as the all-rounder throughout his career, both in the low post. Still anywhere within the three-point line, Zach Randolph can score points, his low post, his versatile scoring defense.

It's all something that all managers admire. But as he got older, Zach Randolph left fans with more of his jump shot, and in the second half of his career. He's rarely scored in the low post anymore.

Like a lot of old things, he will shoot from beyond the three-point line, but he will never take a step into the three-second zone, and those left-behind baseline and dream-like turnaround and step-back shots that remain in the legend have disappeared into the legend.

But, once in a while, if Monsieur Randolph was in a good mood, or if he had a sudden emotional outburst, he would go over the tricks that made him famous as a teenager, as now.

The moment he received Conley's pass, Randolph suddenly became emotional, he felt the change around him, he felt the position of the player behind him, and he could even feel the angle at which his feet were apart.

Randolph's basketball talent is undeniable, and even if he never dedicates himself to basketball, he deserves to be one of the league's leading power forwards.

Randolph felt that the left shoulder could hold down the opponent, which was a wonderful start, so Randolph quickly twisted his body, pressed Millsap with one shoulder, and then the whole body was wonderfully like a butterfly, drilled to the side, the shoulder resisted the opponent, and the foot rotated quickly, which made the legendary bottom line breakthrough in front of people's eyes.

Randolph dribbled with his left hand "bang" two steps in a row, and when he reached the Pelicans' basket, his left hand quickly stretched upward, and Millsap was already stuck behind, and hurriedly jumped lightly forward.

But Millsap jumped up, and he realized that it was a dreamy trick, and after a feint with his left hand, Randolph turned lightly, and then with a hook of his right hand, he gently sent the basketball to the Pelicans' basket.

Turning and breaking, dribbling with the left hand, feints under the basket, and the final shot, all in one go, it's almost like a dance, but it's a real basket fight.

Randolph was like a meteor in the night, showing a fleeting talent, and Millsap immediately dimmed around him, Millsap was also a wonderful big man, but he didn't have Randolph's amazing talent, and that was the difference between the two.

The Grizzlies' bench players screamed for Randolph's fantastic footwork and goal.

Li Feng was also confused by Randolph, this guy's talent at certain moments is simply immeasurable, this world is like this, some people will provide the team with a steady dìng score, some will provide a steady dìng defense, some will score at critical moments, and some players will show their extraordinary talent on the irregular front.

Zach Randolph is one such guy.

Li Feng went to the baseline to receive the ball, and at this time, the Pelicans were unconsciously affected a little bit.

The one who was most affected was Millsap, who Randolph scored such a beautiful goal on his own. Millsap was very, very eager to pull this back.

Millsap wanted to get back the basketball he had lost, so when he was attacking, Millsap gestured to Li Feng and told him that the tactics were on his body, and the Pelicans also played the low post.

Since Millsap said so, Li Feng of course signaled everyone to start attacking in the low post this round.

The Grizzlies' tactical discipline is good, and the Pelicans' tactical discipline is not bad, the whole team has opened up a very large space, and the position has also helped Millsap to become the owner, at this time Li Feng gently threw the basketball into Millsap's hands.

What Millsap did was attack more resolutely and ferociously. Didn't Zach Randolph break through the bottom line just now, and Millsap got the basketball and started attacking directly from the line.

Millsap attacked very bravely, leaning on Randolph with his shoulder, and Randolph also definitely didn't want Millsap to score on his body, so he struggled to hold his chest up, trying to knock Millsap back.

But at this time, Millsap simply put all his weight on Zach Randolph's body, and he himself maintained an absolute imbalance and broke through. Then, with the body tilted, the right hand quickly hooks the hand.

The basketball was actually sent into the Grizzlies' basket by Millsap, and the difficulty of scoring this goal was not as small as Randolph's, but it was not as dazzling as Randolph's goal. Not as beautiful as Randolph's goal.

This creates two effects, both players have good offense, but have different styles, and in fact the character of one player will affect the formation of his final technique.

Kobe Bryant's kind of character. The basketball that comes out is bound to be gorgeous and, low-key player, even if his body is very good. His technical style is bound to be relatively simple.

Randolph is more flamboyant, so he plays flamboyantly, and Millsap is simple and straightforward, so Millsap's goals are like this.

The big forwards on both sides have scored each other, and at this time both teams have focused their offense on the low post, and the low post has become a must for both teams, the Pelicans use the low post because of the space, and the Grizzlies' low post offense is to strengthen the use of the interior.

Both teams went back and forth in the low post, stalemate for a full three minutes, and there was no winner or loser, the Pelicans didn't chase the score, and the Grizzlies didn't widen the difference.

At this point, Van Gundy couldn't sit still and immediately called a short timeout on the sidelines.

The Pelicans' players are back on the bench, and a short timeout is not suitable for setting up tactics, but it is good for giving the team psychological guidance and giving some directional command, and Van Gundy yelled at his players on the sidelines:

"I said we should be more clever with the space, I think we should speed up the tempo, speed up the impact, and be explosive with the Grizzlies instead of hurting a little bit in the half, it's not our strength, we need to play faster and more impactful."

Van Gundy was simply teaching Li Feng alone, and Li Feng understood Van Gundy's thoughts.

The Grizzlies' staying power in the half is still okay, but it will be different when it comes to high-intensity impact.

The Pelicans returned to the court, handing the basketball to Arenas in the backcourt, and Li Feng himself decided to be the Pelicans' arrows against the Grizzlies, and now if Caron Butler and Oladipo can also act as arrows on the court.

But now these two people are not on the court, so Li Feng can only make this arrow by himself, as a momentum of the arrow, the body is necessary, and the confrontation ability is also necessary.

When the Arenas player arrived at halftime, the basketball immediately passed to Millsap's hands, the Pelicans' two core outside cores are Li Feng, and the core of the interior line is currently Millsap. (To be continued......)
