The Nets got the ball again, but the Pelicans here are completely different in terms of defensive intensity and momentum, although there is no full-court pressing and leading defense, but once they enter the Pelicans' half, the Pelicans' defense is very fast.

And even if Anthony and Lopez frequently make covers, the Pelicans can still perform a good transition here, replacing the defender back, and the entire Pelicans' defensive line is like flowing water, one after another, not giving the Nets any outside shots.

The Pelicans' tight and aggressive defense made the Nets helpless here, and in the end, they couldn't shoot from the outside, and hurriedly transferred the basketball to Lopez's hands.

Lopez is a strongman, but he's not a superman, it's easy for a defender to hit an urgent ball, an improvisation ball, but it's a bit too much for you to let a center hit in the last four seconds.

Lopez is now in a position, no position, no space, no space, without these things, even if Lopez has a body of horizontal kung fu, there is nothing to do, he can only shoot in the Pelicans' crowd, and in the end, he will not score a two-point.

The direction of the ball was supposed to be in Lopez's favor, but the Pelicans were so outnumbered that they saw Al Jefferson pull up next to him and snatch the basketball in his hand.

Then turned his head and stuffed the basketball into Corey's hands, at this time the New Orleans Center also felt that the home team's momentum had changed absolutely, so they also cheered wildly, in the cheers of the New Orleans Center, Corey quickly killed the Nets' half, this time he is now killing himself faster, even if it is not a fast attack, it can also make the Nets' defensive formation chaotic, so why not do it.

Corey came up like this, and the Nets' defense really began to disrupt, and after coming, Gasol grabbed a good position again. It was stuck in the Nets' waist in the three-second zone.

Gasol took the position, and Corey knew that even if Gasol couldn't score himself, he still had a lot of containment, and the basketball was delivered to Gasol.

Gasol received the ball and thought about sending it to the left, making a passing action, and Lopez, who was behind Gasol, habitually attracted attention to a Gasol and deliberately attracted attention to pass the ball, but Gasol suddenly turned over and gently hooked his hand.

"Huh"

The basketball fluttered over Lopez's head and landed in the back of the basket.

At this time, the New Orleans center was clamoring. Lopez's face changed, he was actually teased by Gasol, this is really an interesting thing, he was actually teased by Gasol.

The Pelicans suddenly tightened the chain here, and if the Nets wanted to break free, they had to tear off the Pelicans' chain first, but the Pelicans' chain seemed to be a defense made of steel, and once the Nets fell into it, they couldn't break free.

The Pelicans scored one after another here, and the Nets immediately began to organize offense in the Pelicans' half after returning. But at this time, the Nets' offense couldn't get in, and in the end, Anthony's shot was also under Li Feng's high-intensity defense.

Such a basketball is thrown in from the outside, thanks to the Nets' inside line is Big Lopez, and Lopez jumps ferociously. put the frontcourt rebound in his hand, and then he got up directly under the basket for a layup, but was slapped by a large pile of meat and eggs under the Pelicans basket.

This time the Nets' offense failed again, and the basketball fell to the floor, where Granger picked it up and threw it forward.

Corey dribbled the ball to the Nets' halfcourt. Corey's plan was to tear away the Nets' defense, and the Nets suffered this loss twice, but this time Corey quickly came up.

The Nets or the entire front didn't keep up. David Lee was too slow behind, Lopez couldn't keep up, and Granger was still much faster than Joe Johnson than joe Johnson when he was running, after all, Granger's leg wasn't broken.

The Pelicans are here to hula and kill it, the Nets' original general defense, at this time is full of holes, Corey quickly handed the basketball to Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson received the ball when David Lee was still very far away from Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson raised his hand to shoot, and it was another mid-range shot.

As a result, the Pelicans held meetings continuously, and at the same time trapped the Nets with iron chains, and it only took more than 2 minutes to hit a 15-3 small high. Tide, pelican this little high. As soon as the tide came out, the gap between the Pelicans and the Nets was immediately widened.

As a result, Hollins immediately called a timeout, and he needed to adjust the lineup.

And Bill Wharton triumphantly said:

"Well, Albert, I said that the Pelicans either scored in the third quarter or in the fourth quarter, and now the Pelicans have done it, they start with defense, use defense to drive offense, and then chase at a fast pace, first make the Nets formation mess up, and then the Pelicans will take the opportunity to score."

"Yes, the Pelicans played these two points very beautifully, they gave the Nets a surprise, in comparison, the Nets do not lack offensive points, Lopez, Anthony, Joe Johnson, their offensive points are really a lot, but do you see, their offense can not be integrated at all, Anthony, Joe Johnson, and Lopez's offense are relatively independent, and a single play cannot cause a chain reaction."

Albert began to help Hollings find reasons for his defeat.

"If Anthony could understand what you're saying, we wouldn't see him here, we'll only see this guy in Houston."

Bill Wharton interrupted Albert.

Then he said:

"I think from the beginning to the present today, the most important point of the Nets has not been done well by the Pelicans, that is, defense, the Pelicans' offense is very integral, the passing is very good, and they also have a sense of rhythm, they do the same good defense, there will always be a lot of assistant defenders, and decisive packs, and behind the packs there are guys who block the passing route, which is the original intention of them to make the Nets breathless today."

Bill Wharton and Albert are trying to get a clear picture of what the two teams are talking about, but only the bored guys will pay attention to what these two have to say, and the New Ord Center is now buzzing with activity after the first half of the lull.

In the bar on the top floor of the arena, everyone was drinking the beer.

Hollins rearranged his new land tactics, and he replaced David Lee, who was a little slow at the start of the game, and replaced him with a more well-rounded Bogdanovic.

After Bogdanovic came on the court, there were two changes to the Nets, the first of which was that the pace was fast. Because there are more small people, the second point is that Lopez is actually easier to swing, because Bogdanovic can stretch the space farther, so Lopez gets a lot more space.

The first shot after the Nets came back, the play was also very complicated, Lopez frequently blocked and dismantled in the high post, which was obviously an offense carefully arranged by Hollins after his return, Lopez went to the high post, and the Pelicans' defensive center of gravity was also raised.

At this time, Delon, who ran up from 45 degrees, followed Lopez's body after receiving the basketball. Directly towards the Pelicans' basket, if it is in a normal state, Delon is looking for death if he plays like this, but now don't forget Jì Lopez has completely raised the Pelicans' defensive center of gravity.

Delon slammed in, and the Pelicans' defenders hurriedly retreated, but how fast Delon was, this time the Pelicans' fast movement was scattered.

El Jefferson couldn't catch up with Deron either, so he could only watch Delon rub a step and lean on Corey behind him to go up to a basket.

This time after the Nets came back. Instead of playing their traditional low-post offense, and not taking advantage of Anthony and Joe Johnson's double outside fire, they accidentally used DeLong's surprise attack, which can be considered an unexpected offense.

The Pelicans were succeeded by a surprise attack by Hollins, but after the Pelicans returned. Immediately took advantage of Al Jefferson's advantage over Bogdanovic and scored on an inside single.

After coming back, the Nets used Lopez to score inside, and after the Pelicans suddenly hit a small field, the Nets and Pelicans returned to a certain calm and stalemate, and the two sides alternated scores. Even if the gap is slightly widened, it will quickly return to the original level.

The stalemate between the two sides reached the eighth minute of the third quarter, and the score of the two sides became 73-60. The Nets trailed the Pelicans by 13 points.

At this time, it is the Nets' possession of the ball, and the Nets are very open to the whole team, they have this ability, and the four people outside of Lopez are all guys with three-point ability, or outside offensive ability, so that the Pelicans' space is very open.

After the Nets completely opened up the space, Lopez began to wrestle with Gasol on the inside, the war between Lopez and Gasol has continued from the beginning of the game to the present, Gasol uses footwork, awareness, and hard work to play, this Lopez uses his body, bounces, and talent, and the two of them are completely two directions.

So these two people also look at each other, neither of them looks down on the other, and the struggle on the court is extremely fierce, and Lopez in the New Orleans Center not only can't put it like the Barclays Center

Big moves, and Gasol is much less pressure here, and the referee didn't foul Gasol.

In this way, the wrestling battle between Lopez and Gasol under the basket will be interesting, and Gasol can struggle to defend Lopez for a while.

Lopez is now very annoyed with Gasol, he moved sideways continuously on the inside, and then suddenly turned around, and his whole body turned to the other side as if it was a spinning top, blocking Gasol behind him, Lopez's card position is of course chic and beautiful, but it has turned too many circles, and Lopez himself feels a little pain in his head and a little dizzy.

At this time, the outside line stuffed the basketball in, and Lopez knew it was a good opportunity, because he could feel that Gasol was not standing behind him.

He wanted to complete the attack when he received the ball, but at this time, Gasol arrived behind Lopez, and Lopez had no chance as soon as he turned around, so he was a little anxious.

His elbow was flat on Gasol, and Gasol saw that Lopez's movement was so big, he simply performed an "ah" and fell to the ground.

This time, Lopez himself did not succeed in attacking, but heard the whistle suddenly sound behind him, and actually blew himself an offensive foul.

Lopez, who knew that Gasol was performing, became furious.

rushed to the referee but explained that he only gave himself an extra technical foul and did not play a role.

As a result, Lopez not only got four fouls himself, but also gave the Pelicans a chance to make free throws.

Gasol hit a free throw, and the Pelicans completely stretched the score, and at this point, Hollins hurriedly replaced Lopez and Van Gundy began to make substitutions.

The Pelicans replaced Li Feng and Henson first, and it was Gasol and Corey who were replaced, and Gasol and Lopez spent too much body in the fight, and in order to continue to fight with Lopez in the fourth quarter, the head coach naturally replaced Gasol.

Li Feng returned to the basketball court, and at this time there was another commotion in the center of New Orleans, because every time Li Feng came on the court in bench time, there would be a wave of Pelicans offense.

Now the Pelicans have a dozen points ahead of the Nets, if the Pelicans pull the score to 20 points in this segment, then the Pelicans vs. the Nets will basically be the final word, and this game is finalized, then the Nets have lost three games in a row in this Finals.

In this way, it will be very difficult for the Nets to win the championship again, and it can basically be said that there is no hope of winning the championship.

So now as soon as Li Feng comes on the court, it is a fatal moment for the Nets, at this time Hollins made a bold decision, he did not change the substitute, he did not dare to talk about the substitution.

He left Anthony and Joe Johnson and Bogdanovic on the court, and then he was not at ease with Alan Anderson, who was defending Li Feng, so he simply defended Li Feng with Jack, and then Cato withstood the big hole left by Lopez.

Hollins was so cautious that the entire team didn't dare to take down any of the outside strong points.

When Bill Wharton saw it, he immediately said:

"Now that Hollins is determined to win this game at any cost, he's keeping his scorer, and he doesn't want his bench to leak under the firepower of the opposition's bench."

"Yes, now the Nets don't have any way back, I'm not kidding, now the Nets are standing on the edge of the cliff, if the Nets fall behind in these few minutes, they will face a 20-point hole in the fourth quarter, then the pressure on the Nets will be too great."

Albert was a little worried about the Nets at this time, after all, people are sympathetic to the weak. (To be continued......)
