Chapter 1097: Fly Higher

At the end of the third quarter, Hardaway worriedly said:

"Now that the Pelicans and Nets are back on the same starting line, it's completely unpredictable to decide what the outcome of today's game will be."

Hardaway is really nervous, because now the Nets are being caught up, and the side being caught up will always have more pressure than the side that is chasing.

But as soon as the fourth quarter began, there were only ten seconds of tightness, and Hardaway was not nervous, because after the opening, because Al Jefferson was actually sent off.

In the opening ten seconds, David Lee, who has not had a show today, received a pass from the outside, and then he seemed to help Lopez attract attention.

Dribbling the ball near the baseline step by step with his back against Al Jefferson to play, the Pelicans saw this situation and no one thought to help defend it, because everyone thought that Al Jefferson was not easy to defend David Lee.

Al Jefferson also thought so, and he didn't go all out to protect David Lee, so David Lee seized the loophole and turned around and passed Al Jefferson.

Al Jefferson is now carrying two fouls on his back, and he didn't care too much, thinking that he wouldn't let you pass, and he couldn't make it too easy for you ↙, so he flew up directly behind and prepared to give David Lee a block.

But there was a thought that David Lee, the old boy, was also playing falsely, that is, a feint forward, but Al Jefferson had already jumped up from behind the side, and he saw David Lee feint and retracted, and he grabbed it in the air and knocked David Lee's basketball down.

But when Al Jefferson moved the ground in his hand, his feet were also dishonest, and he kicked David Lee's chin, which was subconsciously, even inadvertently, but the sound was heard David Lee's jaw there. There was a click, and the sound was crisp and the entire New Orleans center could hear it clearly, and then I saw David Lee squatting on the ground with his chin covered, probably the jaw bone was finished.

Al Jefferson kicked David Lee, and the Nets immediately quit, Lopez was the most annoyed, today he was given by the Pelicans and couldn't play at all, and now Al Jefferson kicked his right hand in the chin again.

Lopez came over and straightened his chest and Al Jefferson glared angrily, and Al Jefferson didn't care about this, but he also straightened his chest and waited for his eyes to start a verbal battle with Lopez, at which time the Nets and Pelicans players gathered together for the second time. The situation on the pitch is about to get out of hand again.

At this time, the referee hurriedly rushed up, gave Al Jefferson a malicious foul, and was directly sent off the field, and the uniform groups of both sides also came up to separate the players on both sides.

At this time, Barkley, who was outside the court, seemed very excited, he tilted his body in his chair, imitated the flying posture of El Jefferson, and then imitated Bruce Lee's roar and said:

"Ahh......h Al Jefferson's stance is simply wonderful, how to put it. This is a deadly flying foot, comparable to Jermaine O'Neal when he played a fan. ”

Barkley turned Miller's old injury out without any scruples, Miller's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and Hardaway was also stimulated. Li Feng is simply stimulating these two people without any scruples.

So Miller coughed and said:

"Al Jefferson was unintentional at all, and it was so unfair to the Pelicans that they were missing one of the most important players on the perimeter. In this way, the Pelicans' non-game in the fourth quarter simply cannot be carried out. ”

All that Miller said was true, Al Jefferson was indeed unintentional, and this penalty for Al Jefferson's malicious foul was indeed too heavy. With the loss of Al Jefferson, the Pelicans' overall battle is immediately missing a chunk.

But at this time Hardaway also had his own reasons:

"If you don't give Al Jefferson a malicious foul, I'm afraid this will be a group fight, and the Pelicans have no less provocations in front, and now this is just the final judgment."

Hardaway said triumphantly, the Pelicans without Al Jefferson are indeed a lot safer for the Nets now.

But at this time, Van Gundy frowned tightly, Al Jefferson was a good interior player he protected in the first three quarters, in order to cover Al Jefferson Gasol and Henson paid a lot of fouls, just so that Al Jefferson could come out and give the Nets a decisive blow in the fourth quarter, but now when Al Jefferson was just used, this was the result.

At this time, Van Gundy was really a little surprised and caught off guard, even what kind of coach can't stand the fact that his main players can't play so strictly at the most critical moment of the game.

Li Feng looked at the boos of some Magic fans in the center of New Orleans, and walked into the players' tunnel angrily, Li Feng felt that this was not a game, but a huge conspiracy, in the final stage of the game, the moment of life and death, the referee actually punished Al Jefferson.

Li Feng looked at his left and right, and now the only people left on the court were Pierce, Granger, Gasol and Li Feng himself, these people returned to the bench together, their eyes were a little dazed, and on the other side of the Nets bench there was obviously some schadenfreude.

Van Gundy glanced at his teammates and said:

"Corey, you go up, Li Feng changes to the position of big forward, we have to fight."

"Yes, we fight, this game must not let the Nets have good fruit to eat, even if they lose, they must take off a layer of skin from the Nets!"

Granger clenched his fists in anger and shouted.

"The game hasn't started yet, so we're not going to lose."

Pierce's gloomy ground also interjected, and as the oldest player on the team, Pierce said in a deep voice:

"Now we don't have Jermaine, and because we don't have him, we can't lose this game, and we can't let the Nets' tricks succeed, and in the next game, we have to defend all over the court and give them the best gift."

"It's a good idea, losing Al. We all have to win, no matter what, we have to fight them to the end. ”

"We can't let the Nets shit look at our jokes."

After the Pelicans lost Al Jefferson here, they burst out with even greater enthusiasm for fighting, and the five members of the entire team came on the court as if they were burdened but still had a deep hatred.

When the Nets were getting ready to fix the Pelicans without Al Jefferson, the Pelicans suddenly all rushed to the frontcourt, and Deron and Anthony were blocked in front.

The Pelicans played too suddenly, and before Delon could react, Li Feng and Corey worked together to block Delon in the backcourt, and Delon understood that the other party was pressing in the frontcourt. He hurriedly wanted to pass the ball, but one in front of him was Li Feng who was strong and took care of a large area, and one was Corey's hand harassment fast.

As soon as Delong pinched the basketball, he suddenly fell into passivity, Li Feng and Corey hit DeLong on both sides, Li Feng took care of the outside side, cutting off Delon's connection with other players, while Corey defended in the internal test and did not let DeLong pass long.

The corners on both sides were blocked. Delon struggled a few times, holding the basketball only to see a twist in Li Feng and Corey, just when Delon was out of his way and wanted to call a timeout. Li Feng's big slap knocked the basketball down at once.

Suddenly, the Nets' offense turned into a Pelicans counterattack, and the knocked down basketball was picked up by Corey, and then Corey dribbled and made a beautiful back dribble. Dodged Deron and went to the Nets' halfcourt.

Corey dribbles and Lopez runs forward. Anthony hurriedly came back to defend quickly, but this defense was really not easy, Corey was quick-eyed, and when he saw that the distance and position were about the same, he directly stuffed the basketball to Li Feng's place.

Li Feng was only one step away from the basket of the Nets, and after receiving the ball, he jumped suddenly, as if he was picking up a big axe, and slashed at the basket of the Nets with great ferocity, Anthony could only look back, and Li Feng smashed on the basket of the Nets with a heavy dunk.

After Al Jefferson went off the court, the Pelicans instead played this absolutely strong basketball, and put on an absolutely strong attitude, which immediately made Hollins gasp, what kind of team is the most difficult to deal with, not the most gorgeous team, nor the most ferocious team, but a steel division that never gives up.

After losing Al Jefferson, the Pelicans played more active and crazy, which was something that no one expected, and after Li Feng's fierce dunk, he also felt that the wild in his body shot out all of a sudden.

"Ahhh

Li Feng yelled three times at the photographer who was under the basket, so the photographer faithfully recorded Li Feng's trembling little tongue.

The Nets regained the backcourt ball, this time the Nets acted carefully, Deron received the ball and stuffed it into Anthony's hands, but even so, the Pelicans were still very crazy to follow the Nets' frontcourt, and they didn't relax at all and bit the Nets' buttocks.

At this time, the Pelicans' defense is like a mad dog, that is, it bites the opponent's ass and does not give the opponent a chance to relax.

Delon and Anthony were bitten by the Pelicans' full-court defense, and even when they got to the Pelicans, there was not much time left, and in this case, there was no way to play according to the tactics.

The Nets are attacking indiscriminately, smashing the basket and the basketball flew out, but the Nets rely on it even if they attack indiscriminately, and the pressure on the Pelicans under the basket at the same time by Lopez and David Lee is huge.

David Lee forced a position on the card, and then let Lopez behind him jump up lightly and take the rebound into his arms, a series of actions that bullied Henson's experience disadvantage and Gasol's age disadvantage.

Gasol saw Lopez collecting rebounds in front of him so rampantly, he immediately moved over and opened his hands to block in front of Lopez, as soon as Lopez saw Gasol, it was like a bull seeing a red cloth, and his whole body was as if he had taken hormones, and he immediately became hot and hot, and yelled that it was a forced layup, Gasol and Lopez had been fighting for a whole game, at this time he could make Lopez get his wish, and Gasol jumped up directly and confronted Lopez in the air.

But as soon as Gasol jumped up, he heard the referee's whistle sound again, pointing out that Gasol was actually a defensive foul, but Gasol's upper body was upright just now, and his whole body didn't move.

However, the referee gave Gasol a defensive foul, and Lopez forced a layup at the same time. This time the Pelicans immediately exploded, because Gasol had already committed four fouls in front of him, and this was the fifth foul, and the fourth quarter only started at this time, which was equivalent to immediately scrapping the Pelicans' only remaining interior big man.

When Al Jefferson was punished just now, Van Gundy just frowned, but now as soon as he heard that Gasol was also blown down, Van Gundy immediately jumped up, this is not playing basketball, this is directly asking for the Pelicans' life.

He jumped up and yelled at the referee. But the referee didn't pay attention to Van Gundy at all, at this time, even Li Feng felt that his hands and feet were cold, this was not playing basketball, this was simply naked murder, as long as the referee's whistle sounded, the pelican lost.

The Pelican player, who was still full of fighting spirit just now, really felt that the blood on his body had become cold at this time, and Li Feng angrily threw the basketball on the ground.

Miller sighed softly from the commentary seat:

"That's the end of the game."

Miller was unwilling, Van Gundy was unwilling. Li Feng was unwilling, and all the Pelicans players were unwilling, but what could they do, when the referee sent both Al Jefferson and Gasol away. The Pelican ground inside line is also empty, and the heart is cold.

So I can only watch the Nets' score climb steadily, and Lopez keeps wreaking havoc on the Pelicans' interior line, and the entire Pelicans center is cold at this time. Their fighting spirit simply can't withstand the referee's whistle.

But in the cold Pelican lineup, the flames in Li Feng's stomach are rising, whenever he encounters huge pressure. Some people chose to retreat, and some people chose to forbear, but the more Li Feng encountered pressure, the more the fire in his chest burned.

By the end of the fourth quarter 9 minutes and 5 seconds, the Pelicans were already 11 points behind the Nets, but Li Feng was still desperately defending and attacking, but no matter what they did at this time, Lopez gave the Pelicans a heavy blow on the inside.

This kind of blow makes people angry, Li Feng's eyes are full of unwilling anger, at this time Li Feng saw that Lopez received another pass from Joe Johnson, he was in a deep position on the inside, Li Feng could guess what Lopez would do.

So Li Feng rushed towards Lopez, but at this time, Lopez had a kind of happiness that finally got what he wanted, when Al Jefferson and Gasol were all gone, the inside line was completely his, and he was alone.

Lopez sat back desperately again, and then jumped straight to shoot, this is his world, and he knows that Henson can't help himself at all.

But when Lopez himself was attacking, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the entire center of New Orleans, and Lopez himself didn't know what this exclamation was for, he just turned around and got up.

But in the center of New Orleans, a black shadow was seen, and it rushed up directly from behind, from behind Lopez, it seemed to be a sharp sword shot into the sky, and it seemed to be an ancient huge flying pterodactyl, with a vicious wind from behind, and pounced on it.

Lopez seemed to feel a hint of danger at the moment of the basketball shot, he turned his head slightly, saw a yellow light and shadow, and pounced on him, at that time Lopez had only one thought:

"What is this, how can he fly so high!"

"How can he fly so high."

Lopez saw the basketball he had shot, and was slapped on the rebound as soon as the guy caught up from behind reached out.

rebounded the basketball and squeezed out a huge "bang", this huge sound still didn't make Lopez completely sober and slip over, what was born on him.

But immediately after the collision between himself and the yellow light behind him, Lopez felt pain, made his body tremble, and instinctively opened his frightened eyes, and in front of him was Li Feng Clayton's distorted face.

At this time, Li Feng suddenly shouted:

"Ahhhhh!!h

This is not only Li Feng's own resentment, but also the resentment of the Pelicans' entire team.

So when Li Feng slapped the huge Lopez on the rebound, all the players of the Pelicans were covered in a burst of air, very easily, in the smell of the air, on Li Feng's expression, they felt Li Feng's anger, which was the anger of the whole Pelicans.

All Pelicans players, both on the court. was still on the bench, and even Miller on the commentary bench roared with Li Feng:

"Ahhh

At this time, even Van Gundy was fighting, his hands were shaking, just now he seemed to change the substitute players to turn the last time into garbage time, but now Van Gundy has decided that he must not do this.

No matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, no matter what injustices they encounter, the Pelicans still fight to the end, absolutely uncompromising. Even if it's just for a second.

Lopez's offense made Li Feng almost ruthlessly sealed, his face was pale, and he looked at Li Feng picking up the basketball on the ground in surprise, at this time, not only Lopez was surprised, Hollins was surprised, and the New Orleans Center was surprised, and they didn't see it when Lopez was blocked from behind like this.

So the whole New Orleans center was amazed. Hardaway opened his mouth half-open, and opened and closed for a long time before he said a few words with difficulty:

"This, this can't be, this can't be."

But at the time of the New Orleans Center and the entire Nets, there was no relief. The Pelicans were like a roaring river, without hesitation, ferociously surging towards the Nets' half, and Joe Johnson, who was wrapped in it, didn't even see it clearly. Seeing Li Feng beside him, he suddenly got up, and then reversed in the air. reversed again, turned the whole body 360 degrees, and then smashed the basketball into the basket of the Nets.

The Pelicans' thunderbolt-like attack is an unexpected blow to the Nets, which already have 9 points in hand, and time is running out, can the Pelicans reverse it?

It was a very low probability, but when Hollins thought of it, he still trembled all over.

At this time, there were only 2 minutes left before the end of the game between the two sides, and the gap was still 9 points, and 103-94 was out of reach, but at this time Van Gundy still called a timeout and called his players back.

Van Gundy was about to make the final arrangements, but before Van Gundy could speak, Li Feng suddenly said to Van Gundy unexpectedly:

"Let me defend Lopez and let me deal with that guy."

Van Gundy heard this and took a serious look at Li Feng again, Li Feng is slightly shorter than Lopez, and his weight is only the weight of a power forward, but Van Gundy also trusts Li Feng from the bottom of his heart.

Now the game has come to the last moment, and now the Pelicans are doing the last fight, success or failure is no longer important, the important thing is how to hit the Nets, hearing Li Feng say this, Van Gundy's eyes are even more crazy, so he said:

"Knight replaces Kelly, and we're going to fight it all."

Now Van Gundy is doing this, which is equivalent to eliminating all the inside lines of the whole team, and the whole team is full of guards and swing people, which is equivalent to stripping off the whole body, not wearing a single piece of clothing, and not bringing a little defense to fight with others to attack, this kind of offense, needless to say, either put the opponent to death, or he was repaired very badly, and now the Pelicans are equivalent to stripping naked and drinking the Nets to play.

After Van Gundy completed his arrangement, the Pelicans players re-arranged, and Miller, Hardaway, Barkley and others in the stands were stunned at the time, they all saw that the Pelicans were going to risk their lives.

The seemingly dead game became bloody and dangerous, and the Nets felt the Pelicans' frantic defense even before they even put the basketball out at halftime.

Granger clinged to Joe Johnson, who was playing on the sideline, his hands were raised and swayed back and forth, and his feet kept kicking out to both sides, as if he was dancing cramps again, dazzling Joe Johnson in front of him, and he didn't know how to get the basketball out.

Just when Joe Johnson was in trouble, he saw Anthony running up from behind quickly, and Joe Johnson had to hand the basketball to Anthony.

Although the Nets have played an all-in-one strategy this year, Anthony is still a killer to be reckoned with. (To be continued......)
