Chapter 1091 For the Insider

Li Feng stood at the free throw line and easily sent two free throws to the Warriors' basket, Li Feng's free throw action was very standard, and at this time Li Feng was as ruthless as a machine, just knowing how to complete his task.

Azeli is trying his best to protect Tyson Chandler, Azeli has worked hard enough, but Azeli's own ability is not very strong, and gradually he feels that he can't help Chandler a little.

Many of the Pelicans' inside entrants are very strong, and they are not able to block them alone.

Six minutes into the first quarter, things finally changed, and the evil Li Feng stuck in the attachment of the baseline again, and then Al Jefferson smoothly sent the basketball to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng got the basketball, and he had already chosen to use his body to comfortably jam Livingston with one shoulder, and then Li Feng turned around and pressed Livingston with his body, and then went straight to the basket and jumped up.

Aizeli already knew the danger of Li Feng, and he couldn't care about the many things he was about to rush up to pay his third foul, but Aizeli just ran over and found that his foul was useless, because Li Feng had already passed the basketball diagonal behind him.

After Thornton received the basketball, he pounced directly on Tyson Chandler, and Thornton made a series of resolute and decisive actions from receiving the ball to the layup, and pounced directly at Tyson Chandler under the basket.

He knew that was what he was aiming for tonight, Thornton was focused, he was doing a good job, and Tyson Chandler had to jump up and take it hard in the face of that resolute rush. If it was him, he would have beaten Thornton's pesky flies cleanly, but now Tyson Chandler knows he can't do this, he really can't do this.

He could only do his best and do his best. But Thornton bumps around you like an annoying bug, and then Tyson Chandler finally can't help but reach out and slap Thornton.

But just for a moment, he was immediately caught by the referee and gave Chandler a foul.

This was Chandler's second foul in the first quarter, which meant that Tyson Chandler would miss all the next first quarter, and that was the aftermath.

Accompanied by Tyson Chandler was whistled for this foul. Kerr roared like a beast again, which meant that his team could only leak under the Pelicans' firepower for two minutes, and the situation would not improve until the bench players re-played, which was the consequence in Kerr's eyes.

The ultimate consequence of this consequence is that Cole is no stranger, having lost his first two games like this.

This situation Cole can even be said to be disgusted with familiarity. Cole was both disgusted and hated familiar, and really didn't know what was going to happen next.

Tyson Chandler walked to the sidelines, he didn't look as excited as his head coach, at this time Chandler was thinking about another thing, what he should do is to throw away the former self, he is no longer the former self.

I should know this, I am an old man now, in fact, Tyson Chandler is a little glad that he left the court. That way, when the Pelicans got 40 on the inside after the game, they could say they left the court.

Otherwise, watch the Pelicans guys go to the layups one after another from their own faces, and then shout at the post-game press conference:

"Check it out! How many points we got on Chandler's head, 30 points. 40 points."

At that time, he was extremely uncomfortable, and Tyson Chandler returned to the sidelines at this time, holding a water bottle in a daze.

Cole, who was sitting on the sidelines, was also in a daze at this time, and Bill Wharton sat in the commentary seat and said:

"I'm a little disappointed with the situation right now, didn't Chandler keep saying before the game that he was going to make the Pelicans look good! Then he can't do anything now sitting on the sidelines, so he can't make the Pelicans look good! ”

"He can roar loudly. Interfere with Li Feng's layup in turn, this effect may be better than that of him on the court. ”

Albert was also mocking Chandler.

But Chandler didn't move. A veteran, a veteran who has already experienced a lot. His style was consistent with the city, and it was only then that Chandler began to show his head.

And then Chandler became a great player, and he worked hard, he worked hard, he practiced in the power room, and now he's old, he's out of that.

So all the strength of myself is gone, which is fair.

As for the Warriors, they really fell into the Pelicans' dense firepower without Tyson Chandler's protection, and when Tyson Chandler was there, at least Chandler could delay the Pelicans' offense, although he couldn't fully protect it, but he could delay.

But now the Warriors can't even do the most basic delays, and their team is completely under the Pelicans' firepower, and at this time the Pelicans have not relaxed their offense on the Warriors' interior.

Compared to the loss of Chandler by the Warriors, Van Gundy immediately adjusted his tactics, replaced Gasol with Henson, strengthened the firepower on the inside, and attacked the Warriors with the defense on the inside.

At this time, Li Feng also tried his best to send the basketball to the hands of the inside, and the vitality of Al Jefferson and Henson taking turns to exert their power can be regarded as the only one! In a short time, the Warriors' interior line turned into a puddle of mud.

Then there's bench time, and the Pelicans' bench players don't have as many offensive interior resources at this time, because their resources are used up when the main offense is running.

But even so, the Pelicans have a firm dominant position and have been pressing the Warriors to play.

At this time, Van Gundy sat in his position, he clearly knew that his first step was successful, and then as long as it was smooth, the game fell into his own plan, and as soon as Tyson Chandler came up in the second quarter, he immediately concentrated his firepower to eliminate Chandler's point, and Chandler still didn't have much time on the court.

The Pelicans will always keep the pressure on Tyson Chandler until the end when he left the court with six fouls. Van Gundy had already planned all the options.

Today's game against the Warriors is worse than the game against Tyson Chandler, as long as there is no Tyson Chandler, the Warriors lose most of the rebounding and most of the interior defense, and the Pelicans are the master of the game at that time.

Tyson Chandler came out late in the second quarter, and only appeared on the court in the fifth minute of the second quarter. This was already Kerr's limit, but as soon as Chandler appeared on the court, the Pelicans immediately mobilized their heavy firepower team, Li Feng, Gasol, and Al Jefferson. Henson, these heavy firepower took turns attacking the Warriors' interior.

Although Cole sent Azeli to help Tyson Chandler share the responsibility, Azeli himself was quickly beaten into 4 fouls, and Cole had to temporarily replace Azeli back, and he replaced Tyson Chandler with a new bodyguard. This bodyguard is Speights, but the role of this bodyguard is obviously not as good as that of Azeli.

When he got to the court, he couldn't figure out his own defensive position and wanted to protect Tyson Chandler, so three minutes later, Henson drew another foul when he rushed in.

The whistle blew, and Speights hurriedly raised his hand to signal to the referee that this was his own foul, but the referee saw it very clearly just now, Speights was 2 meters away from Henson.

At this point, the referee decisively gave Tyson Chandler a third foul. At this time, the center of New Orleans, the home of the Pelicans, immediately cheered, but in Kerr, it roared again.

His Tyson Chandler had only been on the pitch for four minutes, just four minutes. And then it's going to end!

At this time, he secretly hated Speights, and then began to hate the team's management, if only he had a few more blue-collar workers on the inside, he wouldn't have to be like this, but now it's too late.

Tyson Chandler seemed very calm at this time, he quickly walked to the bench with his head down, and then sat there with his head down, this image was not at all different from what Tyson Chandler said before the game. So far, at least, Pelican fans have not seen what Chandler used to clean up the Pelicans.

The Pelicans seem to have turned into another slaughter for the Warriors. The pelican, like a calm and cold chariot, moves step by step. There is not the slightest hesitation, nor the slightest mercy, a little bit of cannibalization of the warriors.

The warriors are fighting guerrilla warfare little by little, dodging the pelican's edge in various ways, and then waiting for the opportunity to attack.

At halftime, the Warriors had a stalemate with the Pelicans in the early stages, and the rest of the game they fought like partisans meeting regular troops.

The halftime was finally over, and the Pelicans led the Warriors by a score of 53-40, and the Warriors looked like they didn't have the slightest chance and the Pelicans looked like they were about to win the Finals.

In the middle of the court, Van Gundy was still very careful not to give the Warriors any chance, and completely suppressed them in this game, this is our battle of Tianwang Mountain, and we are going to completely eliminate the Warriors in this game.

At the beginning of the second half, the main lineup of the Warriors finally returned at this time, point guard Livingston, scoring guard Oladipo, small forward Thompson, power forward Jr. and center Tyson Chandler.

The Pelicans' opening lineup is still point guard Corey, scoring guard Thornton, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Gasol.

The Pelicans were calm and ready to continue their game, ready to sweep the Warriors out of the game today, but what they didn't know at this time was that Kerr was ready to use this short period of dying counterattack.

Kerr knows very well that their time is running out now, and even only this last little time at the beginning of the third quarter their team can play completely, this is their own short opportunity, and if they take advantage of this opportunity, the team will recover a little bit of the situation, and then slowly try to it, but if he does not recover the situation during this period of time, then in the following games, his difficulty will be even greater.

Kerr himself knows this very well, so during this period of time, he gave his team a very firm order to give me a desperate offense, no matter what the cost.

And for Tyson Chandler he has special requirements, in the case of no certainty. Tyson Chandler can let some opponents go inside, and that's Van Gundy's last instruction.

The Warriors returned to the court, starting with the Pelicans, and when the Pelicans saw Tyson Chandler and collectively rushed inside, the Warriors suddenly contracted. And the contraction was very resolute, and the mid-range shooting and three-point line were left to the Pelicans, who obviously gave up the important line of three-point line in order to protect Tyson Chandler.

The Pelicans players saw this, and Corey instinctively tried to fire from the outside of the three-point line.

Corey tried to fire a three-pointer and shot straight out, and in the absence of people, Corey hit the Warriors' basket with the accuracy of this three-pointer. Corey gave the Warriors a taste of the consequences of letting him go, but the Warriors don't care about that now, and their entire team has become very dangerous.

At this time, Kerr is betting, Tyson Chandler is betting, and the entire Warriors are betting. They gambled on their luck, and Cole was a gambler who was a big bet on a lot of the time, and now that his team was on the brink of life and death, he still seized the last bit of time to turn it over.

After withstanding Corey's first blow, the Warriors immediately launched an offensive attack, at which point the Warriors' players had a kind of slaughter in the center of the noisy New Orleans Center, a kind of determination on the fringe team.

This kind of determination made the Warriors' players more determined, and it was time for even Li Feng to find more in Livingston's eyes. That's the final struggle.

Livingston was clearly active at this time, as were the rest of the Warriors' players, who were weaving their webs like spiders between the top of the Pelicans' arc and the wings. They create a big net in which these players keep going through, covering, running, covering, and then continuing to pass.

It was a complex half-court offensive element. Kerr seems to be particularly good at this, and he still played it beautifully when he coached the Bucks.

After a succession of screens, Livingston took advantage of his teammates' cover to run to the baseline and ambush the ball, catch the ball, dribble in one step, and then make a crisp pull-up jumper. The movements are not beautiful, but in every movement. Even in the eyes there is a kind of resolute monograph.

This kind of monograph allowed Livingston's shooting to be exceptionally accurate, and a clean and beautiful stop-and-go jump shot hit the Pelicans' basket.

At this time, not only Li Feng felt the solemnity of Livingston and the entire Warriors' final decision, but even Van Gundy felt it, and now the Warriors' basketball is more focused and more decisive than the first half, and if they don't shoot at this time, it is death, and they have nothing to hesitate about.

Bill Wharton also said in the commentary seat:

"The Warriors looked like they were back on the court in the second half and it felt almost completely different from the first half."

Albert, as Bill Wharton's partner, said at this time:

"Bill, you have to know that this is probably the last game for the Warriors, they are destined to struggle, but this final struggle is also the most powerful, and it is completely the desire to survive. Hopefully, let's hope the Pelicans can withstand the last blow of the Warriors' survival. ”

Bill Wharton said at this point:

"Now it's up to the Pelicans' mentality, if you have a good mentality, you don't have to wrestle with the Warriors to win, but if you handle it stupidly, it will confuse the team for a while."

Li Feng dribbled over, and watched the Warriors all shrink near the three-second zone, this kind of defense is almost equivalent to joint defense, and it is also the kind of joint defense that locks the deadliest, and there are only two ways to destroy the joint defense, either the low-post attack on the inside, or the three-point forced attack on the outside.

Given that Corey was good on the three-point line in the last round, Li Feng immediately passed the basketball to Corey's hands, but Corey wasted this opportunity, even Corey couldn't hit every shot, this is a shot, not a shot.

Corey's basketball missed a shot, and the basketball was immediately snatched in the hands of the players crowded under the basket by the Warriors, and the Warriors' backcourt rebounds were again, and the Warriors, who got the backcourt rebounds, surprisingly did not use a quick offense to attack the Pelicans, but methodically advanced in the halfcourt.

This pace is indeed a bit slow for the Warriors, but now it is even more intense to feel the Warriors' final struggle, which is a powerful force, and the entire Warriors are making the final struggle for this effort.

The Warriors' offense still lacks the kind of player who can root in the opponent's low post in the half, and only with such a player can the Warriors control the situation, but now the Warriors' offense seems to be very stable, without an interior core, and their half-court offense is just a technique of running and reversing.

But now the Warriors have taken this technique to the extreme, and the basketball is constantly flying out of the hands of the Warriors' players, and then back into their own hands, and after a few fine passes, the basketball is suddenly in the hands of Xiao Si near the basket.

Xiao Si is not the kind of inner giant that can be relied on at all, and now he has long lost the explosiveness of the year, although he can be low and outside, and he can even organize two shots, this kind of player is a treasure if he appears in the bench list of a team, but when he appears in the position of the main power forward, it will make people feel like this first, no matter when this person is not enough.

But now that Xiao Si got the basketball, facing Al Jefferson's defense, he made a move that did not belong to the big forward at all, this is not the key, the key is that Xiao Si seemed so natural when he did such a move, there was no hesitation at all, and he got two consecutive crotch dribbles from the basketball, both backwards, so Al Jefferson was a little stunned to watch Xiao Si juggle two consecutive backward dribbles in front of him, and then jump directly and shoot backwards.

Xiao Si, the big forward, is completely playing with the movements of a small forward, and he is playing very confidently and fluently, which feels a little inconsistent with the current form of the Warriors, but the real thing is that Xiao Si really hit this basketball, and he played it very easily.

At this time, whistles blew on both sides of the court, Li Feng glanced at Al Jefferson, and immediately went to the baseline to get the basketball, since the Warriors have lowered the tempo, then he also has a reason to do so.

Li Feng's possession of the ball was not fast to suppress the rhythm, and then when it came to the Warriors' half, he immediately looked at the inside, and the best way to open the turtle shell was to start from his most tender part, and the first landing spot Li Feng chose was Al Jefferson.

Li Feng quickly passed the basketball from the outside to the hands of Al Jefferson on the inside, at this time Al Jefferson's position was not good, but it was not too bad, he was really a big step away from the three-second zone to receive the basketball.

This is on the verge of the Warriors' shrinking defense, Al Jefferson got the basketball, and he was immediately harassed by the Warriors' players who were shrinking into this small space, and attacking in this dense position requires not skill, but a stronger and more aggressive offense, Al Jefferson may have been able to do it before the injury, but now Al Jefferson no longer has this ability.

His knees didn't allow him to be so fast, nor did he allow him to be so brave, Al Jefferson took a backlog of steps towards the inside, and he was immediately surrounded by the Warriors' wolves, and the blocked Al Jefferson struggled to pass the basketball out, and after bypassing several arms, Al Jefferson finally passed the basketball out.

At this time, Li Feng received the basketball outside the three-point line, and there were no other players two meters in front of him, at this time, Li Feng himself rose from the ground and threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

It's a three-point shot, it's Li Feng's own three-point shot, although this is not what he wants, but this is indeed a good opportunity for a three-point shot, maybe Li Feng's luck is really bad today, maybe it's Pelicans' luck today.

The basketball thrown by Li Feng hit the Warriors' basket very badly and then quickly rebounded back, Li Feng's three points were finished, at this time Li Feng closed his eyes, it was really bad, he was a little impatient at this time, this feeling is really not very good.

And that's not the worst of all, the basketball was quickly caught by the Warriors' players, and the quick dribble reached the Pelicans' half, and the Warriors went to the Pelicans' half again to use the technique of passing the ball from the outside of the line that was almost to the point of art, and Thompson quickly ran on the baseline, and then turned around to make a mid-range shot.
