Chapter 1027: Blocking and Demolishing Attacks

Just behind Okafor, Li Feng squeezed Okafor up and grabbed the rebound again, grabbed the rebound again, and Li Feng took a cricket ball.

Li Feng shot very quickly, Okafor turned around and blocked and didn't touch the ball, but just touched Li Feng's hand, but the ball was shot.

2+1!

Li Feng scored 6 points in a row, and now he is still 2+1, the New Orleans Center is completely crazy, and Li Feng completely broke the inside line of the Bulls.

After scoring, Li Feng also showed his biceps, Li Feng showed strength, and showed the toughness of the Pelicans.

In the final moments of the game, the Pelicans still used "strength" to convince people, and the situation of the Bulls was precarious under the violent leadership of Li Feng.

Previously, in this situation, Paul had always come to save the building, and at this time, it was Paul who took the ball in the backcourt and rushed up like a gust of wind.

Paul's original style of organizing the team was the same as Mark Jackson's, rather than a penetrating and risky pass.

So it's against Paul's nature to hit him with this quick style, but Paul must do it at this time, otherwise it won't be enough to fight the Pelicans. There is no hope of playing half with the Pelicans in the current state of the Bulls, so Paul has to do that.

Paul pushed forward again at this time, and the Pelicans also made up their minds at this moment to pinch Paul to death.

Paul caught up at this time, and the three of them went together to defend Paul. No matter how strong Paul is, he can't be used as a three, and he makes a quick pass to Dunleavy on the wing, who is open at this point.

It was a great opportunity, and Dunleavy hit the ball and it was sure to turn the tide of the situation.

But Dunleavy's body is no longer able to adapt to this kind of high-intensity competition, he is too old, there are too many injuries, and after a period of high-intensity competition, his form will come down immediately. Dunleavy is only useful for the first few minutes of the game, and the rest is full of dangerous goods, and the same is true at this time. Dunleavy threw out a three-pointer and missed!

At this moment, the Bulls' heart was half cold, and sure enough, Dunleavy missed the three-point shot.

On the Pelicans' side, Kelly grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and directly made a strong pass, and the basketball went directly to Turner's hands on the halfway.

Turner took the ball and dribbled past Hinrich, who chased it behind. Turner pulled to the wing, turned around and passed the basketball to Li Feng, who followed up behind.

When Li Feng rushed over, Okafor barely followed, came over and pulled Li Feng with a foul move.

He pulled Li Feng this time, and the referee's whistle sounded, but Li Feng still flew up.

Half a step inside the three-point line, Li Feng flew up and went towards the Bulls' basket.

Suddenly, all the fans and all the spectators saw that Li Feng seemed to be a bird. Flying all over the court, taking off from near the three-point line, really, really. Flew to the basket and the man still didn't fall.

The fans in the audience were dumbfounded, and countless people were stunned at this moment, and at this time, Li Feng finally reluctantly made a move. Basketball is a bit out of hand! It slammed into the basket.

Li Feng flew over the court and dunked, and at this moment, the New Orleans Center was really crazy. The fans went crazy.

"Boom, boom!"

When the New Orleans Center opened, the fans screamed wildly, and the Pelicans players screamed like crazy.

Li Feng was so amazing that the whole stadium shook in shock, and the stadium was completely crazy.

The morale of the pelicans can no longer be described as high, it is simply crazy, crazy, in this situation.

The Pelicans' defense was also even more frantic, and Paul just came over, and the Pelicans immediately pounced on three more people. Paul passed the ball to Hinrich again, but Hinrich also missed the shot at the home of the whistling home at this time.

This time, when the Pelicans swept in another fast attack, the Bulls were gone.

In the second half, the Bulls showed a gap, and Li Feng threw an extremely powerful punch, and under this punch, the Bull fell to the ground.

On the one hand, the Pelicans' heavy punches are too heavy, and on the other hand, the Bulls' ability to resist hitting is really not good.

Li Feng attacked the basket in a row, and the last shocking leap dunk defeated the crazy Bulls in the third quarter in one fell swoop.

After playing the Bulls, the Pelicans' Brandon Knight returned from injury, and the Pelicans' opponent was the Jazz.

On the Pelicans' side, there are still point guard Rotten, scoring guard Granger, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, center Pau Gasol, and Knight did not start.

The starters on the Jazz side are point guard Treyback, scoring guard Hayward, small forward Jeremy Evans, power forward Gobert, and center Favors.

The game also began, and at this time the Jazz players came out of the court with thunderous cheers.

After the Jazz, it was the Pelicans who came out, and as soon as the Pelicans came out, there were half boos and half cheers.

Jazz diehards are naturally going to be booed, but there are still a lot of homeless fans at the Energy Solutions Center, and many of them like the Pelicans.

Players on both sides came on, Pau Gasol and Favors went to the free-throw line, at which point the referee threw the basketball into the air.

Favors took advantage of his height and first pointed the basketball to the Jazz, and immediately the Energy Solutions Center was enthusiastic, and the audience cheered loudly.

Burke took the ball and pushed it forward, and after half the court he gave the basketball to Gobert, who was at the top of the arc.

Gobert took the ball here, and slowly leaned on Al Jefferson to dribble a step, and then passed the ball abruptly to Evans, who received the ball from the wing and sent the basketball to Favors in the low post.

The Jazz came over in the first round, very calm, very calm, not impatient, without any hot smell, and played the basketball to the low position first.

At this time, Favors did have an advantage in playing Paul Gasol, Favors was taller than Paul Gasol, and he was stronger and more experienced, took the ball and turned and shook a throw, and took the lead in scoring two points on the Pelicans' head.

The Jazz came up to play the twin towers first, this is the characteristic of the Jazz, and the biggest advantage of the Jazz's current lineup is the inside twin towers.

The Jazz came up to play their strong points, and the Pelicans came over to play their own characteristics, and the Jazz only scored two points steadily.

The Pelicans bit the Jazz's ass and chased after the opponent's half of the court at great speed. The Jazz now have twin towers on the court, and the speed can't be fast, but the Pelicans are usually fast. The team's two big men, Pau Gasol and Al Jefferson, are also usually fast.

As a result, although the Jazz noticed the Pelicans' speed before the game, they still couldn't adapt to it when they really got to the court.

The Pelicans chased after him, not as complicated as the Jazz, and the basketball passed to Li Feng, who made a behind-the-back pass to Pau Gasol, who cut up in the air.

Just now Favors is tall and strong when he beats Pau Gasol, but now Pau Gasol is just as fast as he is beating Faswors.

Pau Gasol, who had the ball, came over and threw a small throw, and he came to make a layup for a guard. In this way, the basketball rolled into the basket safely, and Pau Gasol did not look big, but he had a guard's hand. He is very good at attacking the basket, attacking the basket throwing, hooking, picking blue, he is very good at it.

The Jazz only scored two points, and the Pelicans chased the ass back!

In the first leg of the opening game, the style of the two teams was very obvious. The Jazz are still steady and fast, steady and offensive.

The Pelicans and Jazz are the opposite, fast first. Then it is stable, and it is not fast to be stable, and the main point of the two teams is just reversed.

Both teams had good performances in the opening period, and Van Gundy and Quinn Snyder both sat on the sidelines silently.

That's when the game began. Both teams are out of the tentative stage, and it is not yet time to make a move, and the two managers who have experienced strong winds and waves have also held still.

The Pelicans just played very fast and energetically. But the Jazz looked dull when they came out of the baseline kick-off.

The Jazz attacked, the pace was quite slow, and the game was slow and meticulous. Hayward gets the ball and Favors, Gobert is on the same side of the basketball court. In this way, the Jazz have focused almost all their firepower on the strong side, and the Pelicans' defense must also lean towards this side.

At this time, Gobert took the ball and passed the ball vigorously to the weak side, and Burke on the weak side suddenly shook the ball and forced a breakthrough to throw a high throw.

Burke suddenly released the cold arrow, but it was still very fierce, and Luo Teng's side really suffered a loss, and Burke came over and scored two points!

The Jazz didn't play the Pelicans today, and they didn't go all out, they didn't use their ruthless efforts, but they played very smoothly in the opening game.

Or are they more tactically mature, and they also have a slight advantage in many positions, and when these smiling advantages are combined, the Jazz play relatively easily.

Seeing that the Jazz were playing easily, Barkley was just about to praise the Jazz and belittle the Pelicans, but the Pelicans' bottom line tee shot suddenly advanced quickly, and at this time it was Al Jefferson who advanced the ball.

Al Jefferson dribbled the ball two steps by himself before giving it to Luo Teng, who was very depressed when he was hit by Burke, but it was very easy to take the ball past Burke at this time, and he took a simple change of direction "Brush!" And he left Burke behind.

After passing the people, Luo Teng's side was extremely cunning and ferocious, broke into the opponent's penalty area, raised his hand and made a feint, deceived Hayward and Evans who caught up, and then stuck to Hayward to cheat a foul.

Rotten posted a foul on Hayward, and the fans in Los Angeles naturally booed him! But at this time, Kenny Smith said:

"Luo Teng is getting smarter now! He didn't have this kind of wisdom before, but now he is very cunning! I actually knew that I had cheated Hayward about the foul first. ”

Kenny Smith's surprise is somewhat justified, Roten's recent transformation is indeed significant, but there is also a change in circumstance.

First of all, the Pelicans are a good team, and it is naturally easy to improve in a good team, and secondly, in this good team, Luo Teng has also been trusted, has gained plenty of playing time, experienced a lot of things, and played a lot of key games with the team. The environment and experience have changed a person's inner line, and at this time, Luo Teng found the direction of his own play. He's moving towards an intelligent defender.

Rotten came back and cheated two fouls and hit both free throws at the free throw line. Li Feng high-fived him at this time to encourage Luo Teng:

"Well done, keep adding to their fouls!"

When Hayward heard Li Feng say this, he pouted and looked at Li Feng, Hayward was arrogant, so he didn't admit that Luo Teng could threaten him.

The Pelicans hit both free throws, and the two teams reached 4-4, still without a win, but from the point of view of state. The Jazz take it easy, after all, they are an old powerhouse,

The Pelicans are more energetic here, and the Pelicans are new after all.

The two teams are completely different styles, the Jazz are still very elegant and unhurried again, Hayward takes the ball and waits on the wing, Gobert and Favors make a crossover cover vertically, Favors pulls out, Gobett gets stuck in the low post. At this time, Hayward passed the ball, and Gobert did have an advantage in playing Al Jefferson.

Although Al Jefferson claims to be well-rounded and his offensive skills are not lost to anyone, he loses to people in height and tonnage.

He is not as tall as Gobet, this is a dead end, so at this time, Gobert took the ball and dribbled twice easily, and suddenly turned over and broke through to the bottom line. Pulled to the basket and made a rebound.

With Gobert's height, footwork, and technique, the combination is even better than Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson's skills are not as good as others, and his figure suffers, and he was easily rebounded by the opponent.

The Jazz have been playing the low post and are now attacking three times. Hit the low post twice, and won both times.

At this time, Barkley was excited, and he said:

"I said Al Jefferson was a shortcoming, you see. He's not Gobert's match. ”

"The game has just begun, and Al Jefferson has his own merits as well."

Reggie Miller immediately interrupted Barkley.

And at this moment, Van Gundy and Barkley have the same idea, putting Al Jefferson and Gobert on the position, one by one with their backs to attack, it must be Gobert who has the advantage, and the two teams are playing on the position like this, it must be that the Jazz have an advantage, and their team is designed like this.

The Jazz is such a half-court team, in the half, they have a low-post killer, an all-round scorer, and a set of blocking and offensive system, and the Jazz fight for the half, and the Pelicans have no advantage.

Therefore, if the Pelicans want to win this series, they must master the rhythm, that is, they will not let the opponent play the position, and they will try to play the position as little as possible, but get points in a quick and simple way.

Van Gundy had long been determined to do so, so he immediately stood up and gestured towards the court.

When Van Gundy's side gestured, the Pelicans threw the basketball out again quickly,

Li Feng ran wildly towards the opponent's half with the ball this time, and Li Feng added full speed at this time.

Hayward was in the same situation as Burke, who was even more tired than Burke because he fought more when he played the Spurs.

So once Li Feng's side accelerated, Hayward's feet were a little soft, he didn't adapt to it, Li Feng passed Hayward all of a sudden, and quickly passed the ball to Pau Gasol who caught up on the side in the Jazz penalty area.

Pau Gasol's best thing is the air cut, he runs desperately and takes the ball to a layup.

The Jazz just scored points, the Pelicans chased their butts and beat them for 2 points, the Jazz scored two points to several people to run, and the big man resisted several times, but the Pelicans didn't have to run anything to finish.

In this game, the Jazz still seem to have the advantage, because they have long possession and clear scoring, and the Pelicans have nothing, run, and then score a layup and it's over.

But it seems that the dominant Jazz called a timeout first, and Quinnsnyder saw that the team's defense was indeed very slow, unable to keep up with the Pelicans' fast attack, and today's Jazz game was a little too leisurely, it didn't look like the Western Conference Finals, but like an ordinary regular season, which is not good.

So Quinn Snyder called a timeout, first getting his attitude right to cheer the team up, and then arranging tactics to interfere with the Pelicans' fast break.

Now the Jazz themselves are slow and can't catch up with the other party, he can only interfere with a pass first, not let the opponent pass out, and not let the player who receives the ball receive the ball comfortably, and run comfortably, Jazz's intention is to make the Pelicans not fast from the source, a little slow for a second or two, and their positional defense will be established.

Quinnsnyder is a good plan, but he is not as determined as Van Gundy, and he is ruthless.

Van Gundy made a direct substitution at this point, replacing Al Jefferson with Kelly and Granger with Thornton.

Both of Van Gundy's substitutions had only one goal, which was to be fast, and not a single slow-paced thing was allowed to appear on his team.

Al Jefferson was slow at a slow pace, he replaced Al Jefferson, Granger was not slow, but he couldn't run, and he was also replaced.

Quinn Snyder was furious, and Snyder was rarely a little angry.

Snyder yelled on the sidelines, once he got angry. The Jazz's offensive intensity immediately intensified.

When the Jazz came over, the basketball first went to Hayward's hands, and Hayward took the ball and the Jazz immediately pulled the space to the other side.

In this way, on the left side of the court, only Li Feng and Hayward are left.

The topic of Li Feng and Hayward was very fierce before the game, and now the two of them got together so quickly.

The Energy Solution Center immediately roared, these two people met so quickly, even the foursome didn't expect it.

Barkley also exclaimed at this time:

"The singles of Hayward and Li Feng came so quickly. There's a good show to watch now,"

When Barkley exclaimed, Hayward took the ball and broke through to the front, and when he felt Li Feng's tough hardness, Hayward suddenly dribbled behind his back and pulled his body towards the opposite side.

Li Feng moved this side, Hayward pulled the basketball back behind his back, and then leaned forward, Li Feng retreated slightly. At this point, Hayward stepped back from his back dribble, then stepped back to make a jumper, and suddenly threw away space to shoot a mid-range.

"Brush."

Hayward's mid-range is indeed in an extremely stable state, once the opportunity arises. Even if it was a momentary opportunity, it was a steady shot.

In this attack, Hayward fully showed his speed and confrontation. Outstanding technique, perfect rhythm control, and a touch of the group.

Li Feng faced Hayward at this time. Some of the hardware conditions are super far Hayward's, but there is no way to complete the defense.

Because Hayward fused all these qiē things together, coupled with the virtual reality of ball control and rhythm changes, Li Feng was powerful and couldn't use it.

Hayward hit such a ball in the opening game, and after the score, Hayward also happily clenched his fists in celebration, and waved his fist fiercely in front of Li Feng.

Hayward's half-court singles ability is indeed strong, so strong that it is almost impossible to stop, but now Li Feng has no intention of comparing Hayward's half-court singles ability.

It's only the first quarter, Li Feng's priority is to run the team as a whole, and only when the team is in danger or the game enters the final stage, Li Feng will score desperately.

So after being scored by Hayward, Li Feng didn't look at Hayward at all, turned around and chased after the Jazz's half.

At this time, Kelly, who was kicking off from the bottom line, simply ignored the interference of Gobert stepping forward, raised the ball to his head, his hand was slightly biased, and he suddenly threw the basketball, and the basketball went directly to the hands of Luo Teng, who was running in front.

Roteng still has a big speed advantage over Burke, Burke can't catch up with Roteng here, and when Hayward turns around and wants to take care of it, Roteng hits the ball and passes to Li Feng.

Li Feng received the ball and forced a three-step basket, Hayward went to defend, Li Feng just relied on his body to hit the opponent with his shoulder, raised his strong arm to protect the basket, and threw the basketball towards the basket with his left hand.

Hayward was suppressed by Li Feng with his strength, and he couldn't jump, so he could only watch Li Feng go to the basket.

Hayward showed perfect technique, perfect individual singles, and Li Feng, who was extremely defensive in the half, was also unable to defend.

However, at this time, the Pelicans called, but there was nothing, and it was easy to score points with one fast and one strong.

At this time, everyone thought of the words of the magician: 'We are not allowed to have difficult half-court shots, only five players who can run are enough to make the layup.' ”

Today's Pelicans have played this sentence to the fullest, and now the Pelicans have scored 8 points, all of which are obtained by a quick counterattack.

The Jazz's 8 points are all obtained by attacking the half-court position, from the perspective of ornamentation, the Jazz hold the ball for a long time, and it is very difficult to shoot, it seems that the Jazz's ability is stronger, but the difficulty of shooting in high difficulty every time must be greater than scoring every time you run fast.

It's a simple truth, the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score, Quinnsnyder is angry, he feels that the other party has humiliated him, but now he sees that the Pelicans can still play a fast break despite their delays, he is also a little conscious.

The destructive power of the Pelicans' quick tactics is amazing, wasn't it because the Jazz were able to play showtime back then because the Magic was tall and fast, and he was irresistible in quick action? The current Li Feng part also has some conditions.

Realizing that he was belittling his opponent, Quinnsnyder hurried over and yelled at the team to strengthen their defense. (To be continued......)
