Chapter 778: Rice God

Now that the Bulls are really on the road, after the Pelicans come back, they want to suppress the rhythm and slowly play positional offense with the Bulls.

After Paul's three-pointer, the whole team became stronger in defensive intensity, and the whole team was running very fast, and the outside players around the Pelicans were desperately defending to prevent the Pelicans from running comfortably.

Li Feng dribbled the ball outside the three-point line to protect the basketball, and then watched his teammates being defended by the Bulls.

Bang Bang continued to dribble in the three-point line, and all the players of the Bulls were desperately defending and suppressing the Pelicans' offense, but here Li Feng suddenly got up, and the Bulls players hurriedly came up to help defend, and Paul rushed up from one side, and suddenly formed a double pinch Li Feng alone.

Li Feng quickly pulled along the three-point line at this time, preventing these two people from clamping his bag, while looking at the entire court.

This time, Phil Jackson's defense was very thoughtful, Paul's defensive Li Feng had already been filled by Nick Young, and the defensive ground inside was also very good, and the only missing ground was his diagonal Carlon Butler.

But thinking that it was inconvenient to pass the ball diagonally from himself, Li Feng could only reach out and stuff the basketball into Millsap's hand, Millsap took the ball in the middle of the three-second zone, and when he got here, Millsap took a step to catch the ball and directly attacked the basket.

It was supposed to be a solid offense, but luckily the Pelicans finally suffered bad luck for the whole court, this ball, rolled off the edge of the basketball court, and actually didn't go in, and the New Orleans arena lamented that it was completely combined with Howard picking up the rebound and yelling.

Howard got the basketball and immediately threw it at Nick Young. Nick Young quickly dribbled Li Feng back to prepare for defense, but at this time, the Bulls could play in a fast pace, and there were too many players who could fight alone.

Li Feng would not give him such a chance, Li Feng jumped up to defend, but there was thought that Xin Li was also cunning enough, holding the ball with both hands, just not going to the basket, and waiting for Li Feng to touch his hand. He just screamed and pretended to be violated.

At this time, the referee also hit the plan and gave Hinrich two free throws, and Hinrich stood on the free throw line and easily hit two free throws, and this time, the difference between the Pelicans and the Bulls narrowed to 6 points.

It's only a six-point difference, but this time the Bulls players and the Bulls players are excited, and the 6-point difference is completely easy to catch up, and Van Gundy looks ugly at this time. But this is not the time to call a timeout.

The Pelicans reorganized their offense and killed, and Li Feng dribbled outside the three-point line to find an opportunity.

Kenny Smith said in the commentary seat:

"The Pelicans' recent offensive success rate has been low, which is the main reason why they were pulled closer by the Bulls, and now the Pelicans are going to change the way they score. If you have a low shooting percentage, you have to think of a way. ”

"Yes, judging from the situation just now, there is no problem with the Pelicans' offensive style and tactics, and their strategy is not wrong. It's just that they didn't fit the basketball into the hoop, it's as simple as that. ”

Charles Barkley also lamented the Pelicans' low shooting percentage.

Li Feng dribbled and heard the rhetoric of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. He knew what he was going to do.

Breaking through the inside line, winning free throws without scoring is a tactic that is difficult for others, but for a Li Feng with the footsteps of a guard and the height of a miniature power forward, it is not a difficult thing, as long as there is one person to help him.

Li Feng called Millsap from outside the three-point line to help him cover, and Millsap immediately came up to cover Li Feng.

A big man with a long range, a low post on the perimeter, and a very impactful perimeter as cover, this kind of destructive power is destined to be amazing, but the current bulls are not very afraid of the Pelicans to do this.

After Millsap covered, one of the two options popped up to shoot a long shot, one was to cut in and hit the basket, the long shot was followed by Tygibson, and there was Howard's help defense under the basket, Li Feng still had to bypass Howard's wall when he broke through here, Howard is not a guy to mess with, Li Feng's opportunity seems to have a blue attack.

As soon as Li Feng made such a breakthrough, Tygibson really followed Millsap out, Li Feng could only continue to rush forward, and Howard was in front of him, at this time, Li Feng was not interested in challenging Howard.

He simply learned Paul's Mag goal, stopped in the air, and came to a posture of riding a horse and archery, Li Feng's posture came up, and Nick Young, who assisted in the defense, had no way, this is the overlord hard bow, his height and confrontation are not enough to defend this ball.

Howard on the inside didn't dare to pounce rashly, Li Feng just entered the frame with a horse archery board in the middle, and the "bang" and "bang" basketball got into the basket crisply, and the Pelicans finally stopped bleeding.

It's been a long time, the Pelicans haven't scored, Li Feng's score is just a send-off in the snow, Li Feng is a dozen, the other players of the Pelicans look at it, it turns out that this is the case, they all understand.

Isn't it bad to feel on my side now?

Then rush to the inside, it's better to rush up, you can't rush up and make free throws, and if the free throws are not blocked, that's bad luck, in fact, the Bulls have Howard on the inside, and the Pelicans covet the Bulls' inside line purely to seek skin with the tiger, but don't forget that the Bulls' defensive system has not yet been formed, the kind of person blocking in front, Howard's defensive system has not come out at all, and the Pelicans are now rabbits who are forced to bite people indiscriminately.

After Li Feng scored this goal, Tygibson made a quick free throw on the baseline, and then Paul ran wildly, and wanted to chase the Pelicans, but unfortunately

The tactics are there, and the defense is particularly fast, and it doesn't let the bull pick it up.

THE BULLS WERE FORCED TO PLAY THE POSITION, AND WHEN THEY GOT TO THE POSITION, THEY WERE LIKE PLAYING INSSAIDOUTT NEATLY, BUT THE BALL TURNED INTO THE HANDS OF NICK YOUNG, AND NICK YOUNG TOOK THE BALL AND LOOKED INSIDE, AND THE WHOLE COURT WAS DEFENDED BY AL-JEFFERSON SUDDENLY WENT AROUND AND WENT IN FRONT OF HOWARD.

At this point, Nick Young had no choice but to return the basketball to Paul.

Charles Barkley saw that Al Jefferson suddenly went around the front to defend Howard. He let out a surprised "huh", going around the front is a great way to defend for some, but not for Howard.

For Howard's defense around the front, the slight distance is not well mastered, and it must be an aerial relay dunk immediately behind.

Howard also didn't expect Al Jefferson to come around the front defense, he immediately turned towards the Pelicans basket in the middle, and this turn Howard became stuck directly under the basket.

Al Jefferson also simply turned around, and directly didn't even look at the back basketball, but stood face to face in front of Howard, this time it was Jedi enough. The meaning is very clear, I just don't do anything, I just look at you alone today.

Al Jefferson posted it like this, not letting the Bulls play the inside, Paul saw that the interior line could not be played, immediately changed the offensive strategy, and rushed towards the Pelicans by himself, because he saw that Al Jefferson was facing his ass, so he couldn't defend at all.

Paul is such an athlete with a big heart. Surrounded by Rose, he threw the basketball high into the basket, and the basketball jumped quickly, and suddenly jumped out again.

That's when Howard saw the ball. He hurriedly jumped into the air, and Al Jefferson was not as good as Howard in the back, and he couldn't bounce, so he could only watch Howard lightly. A rebound puts the basketball inside the basket.

The Bulls' side contained Howard's catch, but released Howard's ability to rebound in the frontcourt of his own factory. Only you know.

Howard scored a penalty into the frame, the Bulls' offensive arrogance is even better, it doesn't matter if you don't score, we still have Howard on the inside, with a big center like Howard, the Bulls' pitchers are extremely happy, and they won't worry too much about their missed shots.

The Bulls chased so fiercely, all the Pelicans could do was grit their teeth, calm down, pursue the hit rate, and score the balls one by one.

Now that they know how to do it, the Pelicans are also determined guys, and they will carry out the task firmly, Li Feng made a gesture outside the three points, and then all the Pelicans team members knew what their task was.

One by one, the space was opened, and Al Jefferson also went to the high post to cover continuously, and the Pelicans were very patient in the Bulls' halfcourt, looking for opportunities, and even if there was a three-point opportunity, they waited not to shoot.

The Pelicans' back and forth reversing and covering, under the high-intensity defense of the Bulls, was very dangerous to complete, and when the ball reached the hands of Caron Butler, he swung the basketball, and Nick Young, an old man, actually made a mistake, and made a move to make way for Caron Butler.

With a road, Caron Butler also followed Li Feng's example, quickly plugged in, and hit the Bulls' basket, and when Caron Butler rushed up, he didn't hesitate, as if he was a daredevil.

But this kind of forcible attack inside line, either fast speed, or strong body, or has a water snake waist like Ginobili, which Crumon Butler does not have, he just rushed up.

The average team's general interior defender may really not be able to withstand Caron Butler's shot, but Howard is different, Howard flew up head-on to Caron Butler, broad chest muscles and heavy weight offset the impact of Caron Butler's impact, Howard's ferocious bounce made his hand completely higher than the basketball in Caron Butler's hand, and then watched Howard press hard, and his whole hand was pressed on top of the basketball.

"Ahh

Instead of getting the legendary free throw, Caron Butler was pressed down by Howard, and then Tygibson picked up the basketball on the side and gave it to Paul.

The basketball was in Paul's hands, Li Feng immediately abandoned Xinrich and chased Paul, Paul originally wanted to go to the meeting with a single knife, but Li Feng killed from the side, but at the same time killed a Cheng bite gold, Paul really couldn't bear Li Feng's pursuit, and turned around and passed the basketball to the hands of Tai Gibson.

Tejibson has no one to defend now, Millsap can compete with him for a short distance, and he can't catch up with Tejibson after a long journey, Tejibson is empty all of a sudden, and Li Feng hurriedly catches up to help defend.

Tygibson walked slowly, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, still holding the ball to the three-point line, Li Feng hurriedly chased. But this slow-looking Tygibson suddenly shook forward with the ball, and Li Feng didn't expect such a big man to make such delicate movements, and immediately followed.

But at this time, Tygibson's step-back step was used, and then another player with a big heart from the Bulls did not hesitate to shoot a three-point shot one step away from the three-point line.

It seemed to be a Damascus scimitar arc, and it got into the Pelicans basket beautifully, three points, and three points.

At this time, the gap between the Bulls and the Pelicans is only three points, only three points. But there is still a clock in the clock, and the outcome is uncertain, and both teams have a chance to win, and both teams have a chance to kill each other.

But at this time, the ball is here with the Bulls, they have been chasing for more than a dozen points, and now they must be more excited to challenge them the most, and the Pelicans are chasing up, and there must be subtle changes in mentality.

At this time, Van Gundy called a timeout again. He has to change his tactics, and what the Pelicans need now is to change their tactics and a steady mentality, and to grasp both sides. Both hands should be hard.

Charles Barkley said a little dullly in the commentary seat:

"At the most critical moment of the game, the Pelicans' offense was problematic, with a frightening low shooting percentage from the outside, and a block from Howard on the inside. What the Pelicans are going to do now is really worrying. ”

"But I think the Bulls fans will be very happy at this time, and it will be a turning point for the two teams to have only three points left. At this point, once the Bulls overtake, they will completely take the initiative in momentum, and once the Pelicans press the Bulls behind them, the Bulls' arrogance will also be hit, and the following Van Gundy's arrangement will be extremely important, which will be the most critical part of the Pelicans and the Bulls' game, the so-called turning point of the game. Kenny Smith is also nervous about the situation between the two teams.

Van Gundy is really grim right now, and the guy is starting to get nervous, and this is not just a turning point for the Pelicans and Bulls today, it could even be a turning point in this game, and Van Gundy definitely doesn't want that kind of turn.

His eyes swirled among his players, and everyone knew that he was looking for a point of trust to complete the attack, and Van Gundy's eyes swept over Kalombutler, then shifted away to push off Rose, and then to Li Feng's face.

The light stayed on Li Feng's face for a short while, and finally moved away, Millsap in the middle.

"Paul, I'll give you this offense, your opponent is Tygibson, we will pull out all the space on the right for you, and if you don't feel good, we will make a foul."

Van Gundy's choice was crisp and Millsap was in good shape.

When the game resumed, Kenny Smith asked:

"I don't know who Van Gundy will choose for this most crucial attack, the steady Dìng Millsap? A Tyrannosaurus rex that can do miracles? Or is it a surprise cold arrow arranged by another arrangement? ”

Li Feng dribbled up, the Pelicans clearly began to run, Millsap came up from the baseline, and Tygibson tried to go around the front defense, but Li Feng quickly hung along the side, and the basketball fell into Millsap's hands, and at the same time, the Pelicans' entire space was completely stretched.

This pelican choice is clear.

Charles Barkley dragged on and said:

"It's Millsap, it's Paul Millsap."

How could Millsap not know what an important offense it was, he took the basketball, and there seemed to be countless images flashing in his mind, how fierce his team was when it was at its strongest, and it seemed like it was clear, nothing.

Facing the basket, shaking under his feet, the real body is pregnant with strength and crisis, and Tygibson, who can't defend in front of him, waits nervously, the two sides seem to be two hand-to-hand swordsmen, facing each other, and then waiting for the decisive blow.

Every movement of both sides began to slow down in the eyes of the other party, and even the rolling of sweat was a marker signal.

Millsap had the initiative, he moved first, and suddenly a feint to shoot a basketball, it didn't cause any reaction from Tygibson, and then Millsap broke through violently to the baseline, and pushed away Tygibson in one step, and in the physical battle, Tygibson was powerless.

The physical impact of the body made Tygibson leak a little space, and Millsap took advantage of this because of the impact of his body to get out of the ground, and got up to shoot, but when Millsap jumped to the highest point, a high mountain appeared in front of him, and Howard, who moved on the other side, came out of nowhere, raised a single palm, and looked like an insurmountable mountain in front of Millsap.

Millsap only had a quick shot, and the basketball was fleeting in Millsap's hands, and Howard's block touched the basket, and the basketball went over Howard's hand and smashed into the back basket.

For a moment, all attention fell on the top of the basket, and Millsap's high-difficulty quick shot immediately reduced the shooting percentage, and the basketball jumped up on the hoop and jumped straight to the back.

Standing here, Al Jefferson took off the rebound with a yell, the Pelicans' battle was definitely not over, the moment Al Jefferson got the basketball in the center of the New Orleans arena, his heart was flattened all of a sudden, there was still an offensive opportunity, and there was another opportunity to suppress the Bulls.

As soon as Al Jefferson got the basketball, he passed it to Rose. (To be continued......)
