Chapter 883: No one can defend against it
After the Grizzlies stabilized in the half, Li Feng immediately turned around and sat down on Tony Allen's body with his ass.
Li Feng suddenly changed his strategy, and Bill Wharton, who was in the commentary seat, said very proudly:
"Li Feng changed his offensive strategy, and he quickly did something very interesting."
Li Feng started to attack with his back so quickly, it was really something that the Grizzlies couldn't think of, two or three times Tony Allen couldn't bear it, the Grizzlies are also a team team, Prince saw that Tony Allen couldn't hold on, so he went over to help Tony Allen, but as soon as he took two steps, he saw Arenas behind him quickly pulling backwards, and Prince felt the danger.
Prince sensed the danger, but did not go back to defend, but gamblingly pounced on Li Feng's body, how could Li Feng and Arenas cooperate so closely at this time.
Li Feng made a pass of the basketball to the top, and it was passed to Arenas's hands, Arenas raised his hand for three points, Arenas's three points were much more stable than Rose's, Arenas was a pure shooter, and Rose's breakthrough was stronger.
Arenas hit a three-point shot, and the home fans also stood up and cheered, but Arenas came over and high-fived Li Feng without changing his face.
It looks like the Pelicans were the first to find a change of play, and the Grizzlies are still attacking in their own way.
The Grizzlies players still sought to hand the basketball to Randolph under the basket after the Pelicans' half, but it was not an easy task, Randolph was guarded by the Pelicans' players, and he was pushed and pulled by Millsap and Henson in turn on the inside, and pushed Randolph to a big step outside the three-second zone before stopping.
But even when Randolph got to the position of the principle basket, the two defenders of the Pelicans still made a mistake by not sticking Randolph to death and sticking Randolph to death.
Randolph is notoriously strong at the top and soft at the bottom. The strength of the legs is generally a very strong player in the upper body, Millsap did not keep up with a move, and stuck Randolph from below, and when Tony Allen sent the basketball to Randolph's hands, Randolph was terrible.
Unfettered by his feet, Randolph immediately got his hands on the basketball and rushed down the line towards the Pelicans' basket.
Randolph's face frame cut speed is still quite fast, whether he can hit or not, generally depends on how far the opponent pushes him, as well as Randolph's own feel, in general. Randolph still has a high shooting percentage in this position.
Randolph continued a frog-like throw, he actually had a shot, it seems that Randolph's hand is really good today, under normal circumstances, Randolph's attack is very unstable.
Randolph scored again, Van Gundy blinked, this blue fat man would normally be really difficult for the team to contain if he had a very good hand. Defense is important, but defense is a probabilistic thing, not that with defense you can completely contain the opponent, but on the maximum Cheng dù containment.
Also on the other side of the dugout, Robert Pera saw the table of his beloved apprentice. He is very excited, Randolph has such a state, and the Grizzlies will definitely be able to take the Pelicans more easily in today's game.
After the opening, the two teams played very tightly, how to play on the court. What methods to use to attack at the beginning of the stage are clear from the sidelines, and the strategies of the two teams are clear. The Grizzlies are the tactics of attacking inside, and the Pelicans are trying to make a hole from Li Feng.
Robert Pera quickly made arrangements after discovering such a thing, and when Li Feng dribbled over again, he found that it was no longer Tony Allen in front of him, but Prince, and using Prince to defend himself was obviously saying, we can let you break through, but we can't let you play back and attack at will.
Li Feng is very smart to read Robert Pera's thoughts, Prince has a certain body at height, can contain his back, can curb his shooting, if he breaks through, the Grizzlies will use collective defense to contain themselves.
This change shows that Robert Pera has long written his back-to-back attack into his defensive plan, and now it is just a demonstration of the tactics to practice.
Li Feng has encountered a problem here, what should he do, suddenly Li Feng felt that his head was hot, can a Prince block my back, a Prince is like completely letting himself go according to Robert Pera's idea, impossible.
I don't want to let myself have my back, I just want to give him a back-to-back attack, Li Feng came to the stubborn taste of his character, when he dribbled, suddenly a sideways world pressed on Prince's body.
Li Feng made this move, Robert Pera's eyes immediately became cold in the coach's seat, and Li Feng pressed on Prince's body without any foul action at all, it was pure power, and began to press hard towards himself.
Li Feng desperately pressed Prince, step by step towards the back, this time Prince could not completely contain Li Feng's attack, Prince began to retreat step by step.
Li Feng's big forward figure still has a huge oppressive force on Prince's tall and small forward figure, Li Feng pressed Prince back step by step, Li Feng here Every time he pressed Prince to take a step back, Robert Pera's heart skipped a beat.
This is approaching the Grizzlies' defensive baseline step by step, and Prince and Randolph on both sides are hesitant to come up and help Prince, watching their teammates about to take it away.
Randolph immediately took a big step forward, and just as he took this step, Li Feng made his own judgment, turned in the opposite direction, shook off the defender, and then stepped back to shoot a jumper, the basketball was quickly thrown by Li Feng, and the basketball easily fell into the Pelicans' basket.
Li Feng still comfortably cleaned up Prince after the Grizzlies changed defenders, and Robert Pera's substitution defense did not completely contain Li Feng, but it made it more difficult for Li Feng's offense.
Li Feng continued to open the gap from the point guard position, and the Grizzlies still started from the inside when attacking, but once the Pelicans ran over, Li Feng immediately reached out to gesture to his teammates.
When Millsap saw Li Feng's gesture, he immediately turned into a half-around defense in defense, half leaning behind Randolph, while reaching out to block Randolph from catching the ball, although this move was not as effective as the defensive effect of completely winding forward. But it also stuck Randolph, and it also made it difficult for Randolph to receive the basketball, this trick poured out, Randolph's catch immediately became more difficult, Randolph's catch became miserable, and the Grizzlies could only find other offensive means.
Prince made a shot from the outside, but jumped out with a very undesirable effect, and Prince missed his shot.
The Grizzlies' successive inside offenses were cut off to Prince, and the Grizzlies' offense paused for a moment, which was not a two-ball pause. It's a pause in the momentum of the Grizzlies, and the momentum is gone, and if the Grizzlies want to attack, they need to start from other directions.
"Prince didn't feel very good today, and it looks like Prince is completely incomparable to his prime."
Than Wharton said that he went to see Hardaway.
Hardaway was a little irritated by Bill Wharton, so Hardaway said:
"The inside line is the core of the Grizzlies, is it bad for the Grizzlies to do this? The other teams have lost their traditions! ”
Hardaway said so, and Bill Wharton stopped talking. Both commentators were silent for a moment.
But at this time, the game did not end, on the contrary, it was more ferocious, Li Feng controlled the basketball and deliberately slowed the rhythm a little faster. It's a very important thing, and the faster the tempo, the better it is to attack.
Especially now that the Grizzlies have laid a net for themselves at halftime, their tempo should be a little faster. Li Feng picked up the tempo and ran towards the Grizzlies' half-court. Li Feng immediately used his physical advantage to press Prince backwards, suppressed the Grizzlies' defense, and prevented the Grizzlies from protruding outside the three-point line, which could also attract more of the Grizzlies' defensive attention.
But the moment Li Feng looked at Arenas, he saw that Henson quickly stole to the basket on the bottom line, so Li Feng's lateral pass turned into a one-handed knock on the basketball towards the bottom line.
It was a quick ground-hitting pass, and the basketball went straight through the defense line around Li Feng, and easily went straight to the hands of Henson, who stole to the basket, and Henson took the ball under the basket.
After getting the basketball, Henson jumped up directly with a two-handed dunk, at this time, even Randolph turned back to defend it was completely late, and the ball was completely Pelicans' rhythm.
This is what Van Gundy wants to see, from the outside attack, driven by the interspersed with the inside line, the outside line opens up to attract people, and the inside line will become huge.
Li Feng passed such a good ball, and Bill Wharton immediately became excited in the commentary seat,
"Beautiful pass, this is really a beautiful pass, Li Feng used a passing action to attract the attention of the Grizzlies' defense, and then there was a wonderful goal, Li Feng is really a wonderful guy."
The Grizzlies came to play against the Pelicans, and the momentum was quite strong, but after arriving at the court, they started to play a few axes well, but then the Grizzlies' offense met the defense of the half-winding front, and was passed by Li Fengmiao to hit a ball when defending.
At this time, the momentum of the Grizzlies was a little extinguished, and the whole team was a little wilted, and Conley forced a shot in front of Rose, and the result can be imagined.
Conley missed the long shot, and the offense for two consecutive rounds was not good, but at this time the Pelicans launched their own counterattack, and the Pelicans still pulled the rhythm a little faster to reduce the effect of positional warfare.
It's too difficult to score points against each other on the position, so once there is an opportunity to attack quickly, Li Feng does not hesitate to pull the rhythm faster, even if he can't play a fast attack, he can beat the Grizzlies to chase him.
Li Feng's idea was correct, after Li Feng sped up the rhythm, it really worked, and he quickly caught up with the ball, and the Grizzlies' position and defensive lineup really did not fall completely.
At this time, Li Feng dribbled in two steps and pressed Prince directly behind the free throw line, Li Feng made full use of his magic, and after this distance, it was easier for Li Feng to do anything.
In the face of Prince's sudden dribble, he made a move to the left to break through, but just when Prince was a little confused and prepared, Li Feng turned around and crushed Prince's body. Stretched out his arm and came a turning throw.
Li Feng played very beautifully, in the next city, when the Grizzlies couldn't find a new way to attack, it was the Pelicans who first found the key to knock on the door and opened the door to the Grizzlies' defense.
At this time, Robert Pera was a little nervous, the lead in the opening moment was now all gone, and his players obviously couldn't find a way to complete successful attacks on the court.
The Grizzlies are really a little confused in their offense now, and the Grizzlies are attacking again, and Tony Allen tried to break through in front of Li Feng but didn't end up hitting Li Feng's body. Li Feng didn't have anything to do, he almost lost the ball.
Tony Allen hurriedly picked up the basketball, and then hurriedly threw it inside, Tony Allen's movements were fast, but he ignored the Pelicans' interior defense for Randolph's attention.
Henson jumped halfway through and snatched the basketball in his hand, and then the basketball went to the Pelicans.
The Pelicans tasted the benefits of a quicker pace, and the whole team knew about it by this point. To speed up the tempo, play the Grizzlies to raise the tempo a little, and the Pelicans' outside players are generally a little taller than the Pelicans' players.
That gives them more space and gives them more room to maneuver. The Pelicans still insisted on increasing their speed a little, dribbling quickly, and Li Feng inertly pressed towards the Grizzlies' halfcourt, but at this time, the Grizzlies couldn't let Li Feng easily play forward to attack.
He immediately blocked up towards Li Feng's point. Li Feng was taken care of by the Grizzlies, and at this time Li Feng knew that his goal had been achieved, and this time he finally sent the basketball directly to the hands of Arenas, who was following behind. Arenas got the basketball, just outside the three-point line, and chased it and gave the Grizzlies a knife, a three-pointer, a crisp three-pointer.
There was no defense in front of him, and Arenas's play today was so steady, and he shot this three-pointer lightly, and Arenas turned around and stretched out his arm to the sky.
This is their own dance, this is the honor that belongs to Arenas, a few consecutive balls, the Pelicans suddenly opened up the gap with the Grizzlies, the match between the strong team and the strong team, the game is often only about 2 minutes, as long as there are about two minutes, one team can decide the fate of the other team.
So don't think that things can be overlooked on the pitch and every minute will decide the fate of the team.
The Pelicans played like this for just over a minute, and Robert Pera couldn't stand it, and now the Pelicans completely mastered the rhythm of the game, which was to play the Grizzlies' counterattack or chase, and the Grizzlies were very unhappy and couldn't play at all.
Don't look at the Pelicans tightly pulling up the rhythm to a little bit, this is enough to beat the Grizzlies' unstable offense, this is not how strong the Pelicans' offense is, but the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive transitions are not very good, and there is a big gap in the middle that can be used.
And when the Pelicans are chasing after them, the small cooperation of one or two people is very successful, with Li Feng as the main attacker, Li Feng as a cover, and with one or two players, the offense can be played impressively.
Robert Pera quickly called a timeout, his players were all sitting on the sidelines, and Robert Pera was laying out defensive tactics.
But at this time, Li Feng returned to his bench, and Van Gundy immediately began to arrange tactics.
"The Grizzlies are having problems both offensively and defensively, and the first thing they're going to strengthen for a while is to step back, and then it's likely to start from the outside on offense, which is something that we want to focus on defensively."
"We have to make all kinds of preparations, Li Feng remember what I said, no matter how we score, creating inside damage is still your first task."
Van Gundy said this, Li Feng nodded lightly, the next game for the team is still very difficult, and the Grizzlies will not be defeated so easily.
The two teams were back on the court, it was the Grizzlies' possession, and the Grizzlies really changed their offensive strategy here, Tony Allen dribbled over, and just after halftime, he saw the basketball handed to Conley.
The Grizzlies' first round was drawn by Robert Pera on the tactical board, their position was very clear, and the direct cooperation with each other was also a very reasonable back-and-forth pass, at which point Van Gundy knew that it would be difficult to defend this round.
This was a tactical offense from the Grizzlies, and sure enough, the Grizzlies finally passed the basketball to Conley, who attacked with his back and helped the Grizzlies pull back two points, and the Grizzlies' offensive center of gravity began to move outside.
When the basketball arrived at the Pelicans, the Pelicans still wanted to raise the pace a little, but at this time, the Grizzlies had really accelerated the speed of offensive and defensive conversions as Van Gundy said, and when Li Feng ran over, the Grizzlies had already put the defense well.
All the defensive equipment has been erected, all the defensive preparations have been made, and the defensive void that Li Feng just started to use is no longer available.
This is an absolutely very regrettable thing for Li Feng, when it comes to the Pelicans' half, Li Feng sees that he can no longer take advantage of a weakness of the Grizzlies, at this time, Li Feng can only fight hard with Prince.
Only if Li Feng fights hard here, the Pelicans' other positions can better attack, and after Li Feng thought about it, he immediately leaned towards Prince, wanting to kill Prince with his own means.
Li Feng stuck to Prince's body and felt that Prince made small movements with his knees below, at this time Li Feng was a little annoyed by Prince, Prince's movements were not very dirty, but very annoying, Li Feng was very uncomfortable by him, so Li Feng suddenly turned around and wiped it towards the Grizzly Bear's basket with a back attack.
Li Feng directly threatened the Grizzlies' basket, and as soon as Li Feng turned around, he immediately faced Randolph, this is a meeting of enemies, and both of them know that this is a decisive ball.
Li Feng didn't evade either, this can't be avoided, I'm afraid that as long as Li Feng passes, some Grizzly Bear fans shouted:
"Ah, Li Feng escaped, he escaped."
Escaping a fart, Li Feng jumped up directly, but in the face of Randolph, Li Feng had to keep an eye on it, held the basketball with both hands and compared it to it, and immediately pulled the rod back, and if he went directly to the basket in the face of Randolph, he would definitely be blocked.
Facing the blue fat man Li Feng tilted his body, and then made a high-throwing layup with his body sideways in the air, the ball almost hit the upper edge of the rebound, the basketball rubbed on the rebound, and then fell straight down, and finally the ball actually went in.
After this goal was scored, even Li Feng himself was surprised, because he thought that it would be good not to let the blue fat man block it, and he could make a shot, so Li Feng made a shot himself.
But what is unexpected is that Li Feng actually shot the basketball this time, and also shot the basketball so comfortably.
Li Feng himself was incredible, and Randolph felt even more incredible, he stretched out his hands in great depression, and then looked at the basket, Li Feng made a layup in front of him, and a layup on his head, which was a thing that made Randolph extremely depressed.
At this time, Hardaway in the commentary seat was still shouting incredulously:
"How is this possible, how can this happen, this is a total lucky ball, this is completely a lucky ball."
Bill Wharton sat there snickering:
"Luck is also part of strength, it seems that Li Feng's luck is good today."
Bill Wharton was snickering, but he was about to stop laughing, after the Grizzlies lost the ball, they were not impatient, the basketball was in Conley's hands, the overall style of the Grizzlies would be very cold, and this seemingly naïve Conley actually had an unimaginably big heart.
Conley took over the rhythm of the game at halftime, and he controlled the whole game, but what came out on the court was that Conley's movements left and right at the top of the arc could not bypass Rose's defense, and no matter what he did, he could not complete the attack he wanted to complete.
Conley's condition at the top of the arc looked terrible, and even Robert Pera thought that the offense of the round was in vain again, and Conley, after a series of turns, suddenly shoved the basketball directly into the corner of the baseline that no one was paying attention to.
