Chapter 1089: A Rare Massacre

Li Feng dribbled to the Warriors' half, he stood outside the three-point line and observed the changes in the entire court, the Warriors' defensive intensity has now decreased, and it has been reduced a lot.

Seeing the Warriors' holes in defense, Li Feng immediately laughed, it seems that things have come to an end, and what is needed now is to go up and end this qiē by himself, Li Feng controlled the ball, as if he was going to pull the ball outside, and suddenly a change of direction cut directly into the inside line of the Warriors.

Cut into the inside line, Li Feng rushed directly to the basket, at this time the Warriors' inside line only has Xiao Si, Li Feng is not afraid of Xiao Si's turn to be hard and confrontational, Li Feng asked himself to be better than Xiao Si.

mbr/>

Li Feng dribbled up with the ball in both hands, and collided directly with Xiao Si, at the moment of impact, Li Feng protected the basketball, and his body shrank in the air, Li Feng seemed to hold the basketball and paused in the air, and then pushed the basketball towards the basket.

Li Feng's action is very weird, this is completely an unreasonable layup, it is a layup with an inside line, but something even more weird happened, Xiao Si, as an inside line, was taken down by Li Feng, but Li Feng himself didn't have anything to do, and directly pushed the basketball hands into the basket.

"Oh! The Warriors' interior line has no ability to stop Li Feng's layup, Xiao Si's defense is completely weak, and they have no way to hold Li Feng at all! ”

Barkley shook his fist in his place and shouted loudly.

But at this time, Cole was sweating, and Cole was also sweating, and he had an extremely bad premonition, which made him break out in a cold sweat in the United Center, where the heating facilities were completely intact, and his whole body was sticky and wet, which was a sign of doom.

As if to validate Cole's own ideas. The Warriors' offense really missed, and it was Xiao Si's open three-pointer, and Xiao Si didn't shoot the basketball for such a goal.

The Warriors' offense missed, but the Pelicans' offense became in full swing, and Gasol and Al Jefferson on the inside also came to an interior cooperation, and Gasol, who got the basketball on the inside, attracted the idea, and inadvertently sent the basketball quietly to the hands of Al Jefferson, who had no one to defend on his side.

Al Jefferson got the basketball and went straight to the basket with a two-handed dunk, and the Pelicans had an attack on the Warriors' interior, and Al Jefferson not only got a two-point dunk but also a free throw.

But at this time, the Warriors' offense was unlucky again. Oladipo was also brilliant at the critical moment, shooting a three-point shot without sticking.

The powerful attack of the Warriors finally passed, but the Pelicans' attack did not end, they were like chariots, steadily advancing step by step, step by step Slayer Warriors, bringing the Gong Gong close to the corner, and then not letting go of the Warriors, when the Warriors were unarmed. And the warriors will be dismembered.

The Pelicans, who had taken the advantage, relentlessly crushed the Warriors, extending their advantage to 27 points in the second quarter and 39 points at the end of the third quarter, a 40-point difference.

But by the time of the fourth quarter. It is still all the main force of the Pelicans, and at this time Oladipo regrets a little bit of the bet with the Pelicans, this is not a game, this is a slaughter. It's a hazing!

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans defeated the Warriors 128-81.

The Pelicans bloodied the Warriors with a sensational 47-point difference. It makes the Warriors, from the players to the fans, feel miserable.

At this time, even Charles Barkley was a little overwhelmed, he sat in the commentary seat and shook his head as he spoke:

"The Pelicans are a little too hard! Slaughtering the warriors like this is simply leaving no face for the warriors! ”

The Pelicans slaughtered the Warriors really hard, under normal circumstances, when the outcome of the two sides was decided in the fourth quarter, it would become garbage time, so they didn't play seriously, but the Pelicans didn't have it today, and today the Pelicans were just in time to win, and they were still desperately fighting the Warriors, and the Warriors were not slaughtered.

Today's game was the biggest when the difference was widened to 50 points, this is not a game, this is an insult to the Warriors.

After the game, the Pelicans players got together and laughed, before the game, they had enough of the bird's gas in their first loss, but today the Pelicans finally spit out that breath and doubled it back to the opponent, which is refreshing.

The Pelicans players are very happy, but the Warriors players have blood-red eyes on both sides, and it feels really uncomfortable to be slaughtered at home.

The Warriors' players are angry, humiliated, but helpless, this is really not able to beat the Pelicans, when they don't have a touch, and the interior defense is missing, the Warriors really have no way to hit the Pelicans.

Van Gundy finally smiled after the game, but Kerr's face was gloomy like a dark cloud before the storm, today's game Warriors lost and lost, this is not a simple loss, it is a huge difference of 47 points.

This huge point difference could have been avoided, but the Pelicans just had to press this humiliating score on the Warriors' heads.

At the press conference after the game, Oladipo said that he would not go to the press conference with Cole, and he couldn't afford to lose this face, so Kerr had to take Thompson to the press conference alone.

But at the press conference, Thompson remained calm, but Kerr saw the Pelicans' smug look at the press conference.

He himself couldn't help it, and began to angrily accuse the Pelicans for having no work ethic, obviously having established a leading advantage, and still fighting desperately in pursuit of a larger point difference, which is simply a matter of unsportsmanship.

Kerr was thrilled, but Pelicans head coach Van Gundy responded to his statement by saying:

"We just want to make sure we get ahead!"

Cole was almost stunned by this guy, 40 points you still have to ensure what score advantage, this is clearly an excuse, but Cole can't say anything yet.

In the end, he could only watch Li Feng sit there and talk about the secret of defeating the Warriors, Li Feng said the Warriors' defense in front of Kerr as light as a piece of paper, and then talked about his feeling of scoring.

Those words made Cole's head almost burst into flames when he heard it, but that's how the game was. The winner has the right to speak, but the loser is sorry that you will be completely forgotten.

In the end, Li Feng happily announced that the first part of his prophecy came true, and today he ended the battle in three quarters, and then it was to sweep the Warriors, Li Feng said this sentence in front of Kerr and Thompson so arrogantly.

Even a good old man like Thompson jumped up and said:

"Li Feng! See you in the next game! ”

The press conference was an unhappy one, with Li Feng's hubris and Van Gundy's indulgence insulting the entire Oakland media, but the New Orleans media rejoiced.

Slaughtering the warriors, they finally let out a breath, and the reaction of the media on both sides was very different. But for the rest of the media, it's a clear signal that this is the Pelicans' revenge.

This is the Pelicans showing the whole league that don't mess with me, there is a price to pay for messing with me, and all the previous dismissive remarks about the Pelicans have all disappeared after this game.

However, the Aucklanders are still very unhappy, and they feel that their team has lost because of the loss of Tyson Chandler, if Tyson Chandler is there. The Warriors don't necessarily lose, and even if they do, they don't necessarily lose so badly.

The game was over, and both the Pelicans and Warriors left the court, but both teams were concerned about the league's punishment of Tyson Chandler at this time.

This punishment will be directly related to the direction of the next game between the Pelicans and the Warriors. One night, the next day, the league announced the punishment of Tyson Chandler, who banned him for two games.

That's not a very severe punishment for hitting someone, but this one is in the playoffs. After two games, the Warriors have no chance, and every game in the playoffs is crucial.

Now to Tyson Chandler for two consecutive games without playing, the Pelicans have already got the match point. Naturally, Kerr could not accept such a punishment, and he protested to the league, and the Warriors also felt that this was unfair, which was equivalent to sending the Pelicans into the second round.

However, the league did not mean to change the punishment, and it was still a two-game suspension, which made the Warriors desperate, but the Pelicans were happy.

Tyson Chandler has been banned for two games, the Pelicans are comfortable now, the Warriors have completely become an undefended city for the Pelicans, maybe the Warriors are very good at playing small lineups for other teams, but the Pelicans are on the inside of Gasol and Al Jefferson, the outside line is Li Feng, and at the same time Paul Pierce and Stephen Curry, both inside and outside have baskets, rebounds are firmly controlled, and the outside defense is also very strong, so the Pelicans next beat the Warriors by a big score in two consecutive games.

The match point was reached all of a sudden, and you only need to win one game to get a ticket to the finals.

The Pelicans took advantage of the Warriors' absence of Tyson Chandler to repair the Warriors, and the Warriors just endured it at this time, and at the same time, Tyson Chandler released a message in Oakland that he would return in Game 5 to give the Pelicans a good look.

When the time comes, it will be the best time for the Warriors to fight back, the Warriors will completely overturn the Pelicans, Tyson Chandler released such words, naturally many Oakland media are willing to believe such words, they are naturally willing to believe that as long as Chandler comes back, they will slaughter the Pelicans as if it was the first game.

Regarding this statement of the Warriors and Chandler, Li Feng, who was waiting for his opponent in New Orleans, also released his words, as long as the Warriors dared to come, they would end the game in the first three quarters and still slaughter the Warriors.

Li Feng said this for a reason, the media in Auckland have been clamoring for a long time if Tyson Chandler in their team would not lose, but Li Feng will let the group of people in Auckland see now, even if you have Tyson Chandler, it will not work.

Li Feng has this kind of confidence, although Tyson Chandler is still the same Tyson Chandler, but he is no longer the Chandler of the year, and the current Chandler has long been unable in physical condition and competitive state.

In the first and second games, Chandler's role was not very prominent, Li Feng, Henson, Thornton, and Al Jefferson could all threaten his defensive basket, and his defensive basket was not unbreakable for the Pelicans at all.

Game 5 was about to start, and Oakland was still spitting on New Orleans, and then Kerr also blatantly jumped out and said:

"As long as Tyson comes back, the Warriors will definitely get one back!"

Cole himself doesn't know. In his own heart, he believed in it.

Game 5 is finally here, the Pelicans are waiting for the challenge of the Warriors at the center of New Orleans at home, this game because there is enough saliva before the game, and there are definitely a lot of eyeballs, so the whole New Orleans center was full that night.

Before the game, the outside of the New Orleans Center was also brightly lit, and when the Warriors' bus came, it was even more crowded.

Pelican fans roared like a wave, New Orleans Center became the Devil's home court, Li Feng waited in the players' tunnel, waiting for the start of the game, at this time the Pelicans' DJ finally announced the start of the game.

The Pelicans players took to the court to the cheers of the home fans. Today's starting lineup for the Pelicans is point guard Corey, scoring guard Thornton, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Gasol.

Here with the Warriors, their starting lineup has not finally returned, point guard Livingston, scoring guard Thompson, small forward Green, and power forward Smalls. Center Tyson Chandler.

Chandler finally returned, but when Ben played, the entire New Orleans center booed and cursed Tyson Chandler.

Tyson Chandler looked ugly on the ring in the center of New Orleans, and he knew he was being overshadowed by Al Jefferson! He saw Al Jefferson back on the pitch in the locker room.

What does this mean, it shows that you are a fool. Completely played, Al Jefferson guy didn't have anything to do at all, and just fell to the ground.

Tyson Chandler knows this very well, and now he's back. Tyson Chandler decided to desperately pull the Pelicans here, and desperately to make the Pelicans pay.

With that in mind, Tyson Chandler walked into the center circle, at which point the entire New Orleans Center was booed. It's all for itself, and Tyson Chandler knows that very well.

Commentating on today's game is ESPN's Bill Wharton and his good partner Albert, who now sit leisurely at the back of the commentary box and say:

"Today may be the last game of this series, but I didn't expect the Pelicans' playoffs to be decreasing, seven games in the first round, six games in the second round, and five games in the third round, will the Pelicans sweep their opponents in the finals?"

"But not necessarily, if the Warriors win, we're going to keep going!"

Albert denied his old partner's claim at this time.

"No, I think the Pelicans are going to win today, you'll see."

Bill Wharton stuck to his story.

The game started with a whistle and the referee threw the basketball into the air, Tyson Chandler jumped into the air with Gasol, Gasol won the first two scrums, but this time Gasol lost.

Tyson Chandler looked really desperate today, and put the basketball in Livingston's hands at once, after Livingston got the basketball, he attacked cautiously, and the Pelicans have played 4 games, Livingston is very aware of the ability of the Pelicans, a few players, may be much more aware than themselves.

The playoffs are like this, and the last two teams will be absolutely familiar with each other, that is, it is clear what kind of habits one of the opposing players has, there is no way, the playoffs will play seven games, and there will be a lot of things that the defenders need to know in the middle, so the opponent will be studied very thoroughly.

Livingston is now dribbling over, he is observing Li Feng, he knows that if Li Feng puts all the experience on himself at the beginning, he will not be able to do anything, fortunately I believe that Li Feng did not put all his energy on himself, but took care of the whole bad defense behind him.

At this time, Livingston was relieved to pass the basketball to the hands of Thompson on the side, and Thompson's opponents in these games were Granger, according to Thompson's own judgment, Granger is an extremely difficult defender, especially good at anticipating and separating himself from the team.

Thompson was actually a little happy that such a defensive player didn't play today, don't look at Thornton being taller than Granger, but being tall doesn't mean better defense.

Thompson made a simple offensive move at this time, probed the step, and then shot directly, and Thompson understood at least one truth in this series, the simpler the offensive technique, the better. The simpler it is, the less likely it is to make mistakes, and it will also maintain the efficiency of the attack when the body is lost at the end.

For example, Thompson's offense is very efficient now, he shoots the basketball, the Warriors get off to a good start, the Warriors score at the beginning, and it doesn't look difficult.

At this time, Van Gundy was standing on the sidelines, he was indifferent, Thornton's defensive ability and Thompson's familiarity with Cheng Dù was definitely not comparable to Granger, but today's replacement of Thornton has another purpose, if this goal is achieved, the Warriors will not attack.

The Pelicans finally started attacking at this time. The Pelicans' offense is a bit weird, at least from Kerr's eyes, it is a little weird, completely out of the previous Pelicans playing style, when they attack, the space is relatively open, and it seems that the usual offensive means are very strong, Li Feng and Corey do not have a great desire to shoot. Look, sure enough, just as Cole was looking at the court intently, Li Feng suddenly stuffed the basketball into Thornton's hand.

At the same time, Corey went up to give Thornton a cover. This order seems a bit reversed, but it doesn't have any relationship, Thornton is very skillful in using it, and when he gets the basketball, he is a quick break and cuts directly from the wing to the Warriors' interior.

At this time, Van Gundy's eyes finally lit up. Didn't Tyson Chandler say he was going to turn our Pelicans against us, so good, I'll give him this opportunity, and I'll use Thornton in today's game. Li Feng and Al Jefferson took turns to attack the inside line, and took turns to attack the inside. Let's see if Tyson Chandler can hold this interior line, or if my front line can break through your defense.

Van Gundy looked at the court, and Thornton's heart was also silently reading the task that Van Gundy assigned to him before the game, he must rush in and fight boldly.

Thornton rushed to the inside of the Warriors, and in front of him was Xiao Si, but Thornton did not intend to choose this person as his opponent, and Thornton's footsteps that had already been drilled in made a lateral move.

Directly in front of Tyson Chandler, Chandler didn't expect that he would have work to do so soon, jumped up and covered Thornton with both hands, Thornton resisted Xiao Si behind him in the air, and then turned sideways, and his hand was very low towards the basket.

The basketball flew straight up, almost straight up and down to the rebound, and then jumped on the basket a few times before getting into the basket.

The Warriors opened with a mid-range shot, which is a characteristic of the Warriors, but the Pelicans opened today with Thornton hitting this low-handed layup in a slide, but it was very stretched.

The Pelicans scored, but this caused Kerr's imagination, why did the Pelicans attack so much in the first round, why did Thornton replace Granger, who had a very good letting go, almost instantly Kerr got the answer, what the Pelicans have to do is to strengthen the cut on both sides, and the Pelicans' first round is to compete with Tyson Chandler for the interior.

In the end, to see who can control the inside line, Van Gundy's calculation is very simple, Tyson Chandler will play the first game back, he will beat Chandler down, so that Chandler can't save zài on the court.

This is really a very vicious move, Kerr calmed his anger, and then looked at the bench behind him, now he needs someone to do an effective defense, reducing the chance of Tyson Chandler directly leaking under the Pelicans' firepower.

Only Malik Allen seems to be up to the task, he has a quick pace and decent defensive ability, but in doing so, he loses his versatile role on the inside.

Xiao Si can shoot, can cut, can do anything, there is only one shortcoming is not tough enough, which is a fatal shortcoming for the assistant defender, a momentary confrontation when assisting in defense, what is needed is tough treatment.

Kerr was still hesitating at this time, and it happened that the Warriors started to attack again, and the person who ended this offense was Xiao Si, who played a beautiful turning shot near the baseline and the basketball fell into the Pelicans' basket. (To be continued......)
