Van Gundy didn't make any adjustments, and when he came back from a timeout, the Pacers did start hand-to-hand combat inside.

David West teed off the sideline and passed directly to Roy Hibbert, who was wrapped up in the waist position, and he passed the ball out of George Hill and harassed by Rose, he transitioned to the other side and then to George, allowing George and the Pelicans to fight hand-to-hand.

George came up and hit the back, and he came over and continued to make the Pelicans foul, but the Pelicans were all habitual offenders who faked and cheated fouls, and they didn't eat George's set, George only passed the ball to David West in the high post, David West had little time to get the ball, and he shot the middle distance.

The Pacers finally scored two points, and it turns out that if the Pacers settle down and really treat the Pelicans as a dish, play slowly, and play seriously, the Pacers are still capable of being a step higher. The problem of all the Pacers in front of them is a problem of mentality.

Even when he bet three points with the Pelicans later, he was too impatient and wanted to take a shortcut to win. However, it turns out that shortcuts are not easy to take.

The Pacers tried to move steadily, but the Pelicans couldn't move steadily, his strength was not good, he could only go off the rails, and the Pelicans still put the outlaw on the shelf with the ball.

rushed quickly towards the Pacers' half, Rose rushed over and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng did not catch the ball and did not flow to the single with Scola, but immediately dribbled the ball two steps laterally, and suddenly stopped to cover Arenas, allowing Arenas to receive the basketball, and he himself suddenly turned around and ran towards the bottom corner.

Li Feng reached the bottom corner, Arenas took the ball and retreated with one dribble, attracting firepower and immediately transferring the ball to Li Feng outside.

Li Feng gave Li Feng again, Li Feng received the ball, David West pounced forward, and Li Feng hit the ground and passed the ball to Jefferson, who pulled out. Jefferson high jumper! Basketball hits.

The Pelicans moved the ball in succession, quickly, and finally Jefferson got it. This series of actions. They are all very fast and accurate, showing the quick coordination ability that the Pelicans have accumulated over the years against Princeton. It's hard for a normal team to play in a market like this, but the Pelicans have that foundation.

The Pelicans scored again, and today Jefferson was very dazzling in the final quarter, and now the position is 100 percent, dunks, and mid-range.

Originally, Roy Hibbert ate a point. Now it's also erupting. The Pelicans showed an overall outburst, and there was not a single point that could not be scored.

The Pacers began to slowly play hand-to-hand with the Pelicans, and in the Pelicans' half, Roy Hibbert finally drew a foul from Jefferson and hit two free throws from the free throw line.

The Pelicans, a bunch of outlaws, came back and missed a three-pointer, and the Pacers came back and relied on hand-to-hand combat to attract the defense, and when the pass was out, Mr. George Hill had an advantage over a three-pointer.

For two consecutive games, the Pacers pulled back five points. This time. The Consec Arena players finally settled down, just when the Pacers fans, Vogel, and the Pacers players were just getting their peace of mind.

Another fast break from the Pelicans' side pushed in. Instead of making multiple passes this time, Rose came with the ball himself and used his height to get up and force a pull-and-go jump shot on George Hill's head.

George Hill is indeed short and slow, but there are a lot of tall people on the Pacers' roster. Stephenson followed up with a block from behind and touched the edge of a basketball thrown by Rose.

Seeing that Rose's shot was short and was about to fall into the hands of the Pacers players, Li Feng suddenly came out in the crowd of Pacers. In the air, he received a short basketball from Rose, and then resisted a foul from David West, Li Feng forced a support in the air, and finally smashed the basketball into the Pacers' basket.

"Bang!"

Li Feng is scoring two points, adding free throws, and there is even better news, David West has already fouled once before the fourth quarter, and now he fouls Li Feng again. His six fouls have arrived, and the Pelicans players can say goodbye to David West.

At the critical moment, David West was down by Li Feng again, and George shook his head angrily on the side.

Vogel also shook his head again and again, the game was too bad for the Pacers, but Vogel couldn't help it, he complained to the referee twice, and still sent Scola to the court. [

Li Feng was at the free throw line, missed the free throw, and he was hit by David West just now.

Without David West, the Pacers wouldn't have been as agile as they were, and when it came to the Pelicans' halfcourt, the Pacers could only adjust their offensive mode to George mode.

But at this time, the pelicans were still holding on to the iron bucket formation, and as soon as George entered the pelican's low position, countless hands immediately stretched out towards George.

George shifted the ball at this point, transferring the basketball to Roy Hibbert, who was pulled to the high post, and Roy Hibbert hesitated to take the ball. He doesn't know how to deal with it, he is different from David West, David West has the role of a lighthouse, and at this time, if David West receives a pass from George, he will distribute the ball very well.

However, Roy Hibbert did not have this ability, and he began to hesitate to get the ball and where to pass the basketball.

When Roy Hibbert hesitated, he stole Arenas behind Roy Hibbert like a thief, jumped up and dropped the basketball at once.

The Pelicans made a steal, and after the steal, Arenas raced towards the Pacers' half.

The Pacers were in hot pursuit, and Li Feng followed closely from the right side, and Arenas immediately turned his hand and passed the ball to Li Feng. He knew that Li Feng's destructive power was much greater than his own, Li Feng received the ball and dribbled one step, passed half of Scola's body, and then followed by a jump step and jumped towards the Pacers' inside line.

The jumping step is used to get rid of the defender and pass through the gate to defend, Li Feng jumped over in one step and directly gave Scola over.

At this time, George came back quickly from the middle lane to pounce on Li Feng, Li Feng saw George coming over, he could only bounce with George if he wanted to shoot, this is a disadvantage of jumping, as long as you jump the follow-up changes, there is no more, and the rest is all about feel and bounce.

Li Feng jumped up all of a sudden, and just wanted to make an aerial telescopic action, but saw Arenas suddenly run to the bottom corner on the right.

Li Feng changed his mind in the air, and a behind-the-head pass basketball was directly stuffed into the hands of Arenas in the bottom corner, and Arenas received the ball and shot quickly. Another three-pointer.

The Pelicans' offense, like a whirlwind, sealed their throats with blood, and they could shoot whenever they had the chance.

The Pacers are like this, and the Pelicans are not relaxed at all, which is really a mess for the Pacers.

At this point, the Pelicans had pulled the score back to 7 points, and there was only 1 point left in the clock, and this is when George finally went crazy.

He didn't take the ball to hit the low post that he has often played this season, but took the ball and hovered outside the three-point line.

With George's skill and physicality, he wanted to shoot. No one can stop it. All defenders can do is how much Cheng dù can interfere with George.

The Pelicans are now guarding a joint defense, and Arenas basically didn't put any pressure on George, and directly watched George shoot.

George was also terrible when he was angry, and he hit a three-point shot.

The Pacers finally got the three points back, and the Consec Arena finally saw a little hope of winning.

When the Pelicans stretched the gap to 7 points just now, the vast majority of fans were desperate, and now with the arrival of George's three-point shot, the Pacers immediately see hope. That's just a 4-point difference.

The Pelicans, on the other hand, are purely gamblers' mentality, you shoot a three-pointer and you are done, regardless of you. But after the shot, it was our turn to attack.

The pelicans came running again. He also wanted to tear up the defense with a quick pass and run, but at this time the Pacers were desperate, and the Pelicans played such a complex offensive style that they were almost stealed.

The last 24 seconds are about to be gone. Butler threw the basketball to Li Feng.

Li Feng saw that there were only 4 seconds left in the time, and there was no time to hesitate and do complicated movements at all, Li Feng immediately took a step back from Scola with all his strength. pressed Scola into it, and then Li Feng suddenly took a step back and turned over and made a jumper.

The basketball simply fell into the Pacers' basket, and Li Feng supported the team at the critical moment, allowing the team to continue to stretch the score to 6 points.

However, at this time, there was only one minute left in the game, exactly one minute.

The Pacers were chasing six points in one minute, and Bill Wharton, who was on the commentary bench at this time, said:

"Now that the pressure is on for the Pacers and the Pelicans are six points ahead, it's definitely not going to be good. Now the Pacers need more than just scoring, they need time, so we should see the Pacers play a very fast offensive tempo next. ”

Bill Wharton was just done here when the Pacers called a long timeout. The Pacers are behind in the score, so they naturally have to reset, and the Pelicans are also planning for the next game.

After the Pelicans returned to the sidelines, Van Gundy immediately brought the players together:

"Guys! Well done, absolutely beautiful what you just did, but then our tactics should have changed. From now on, we're going to defend the Pacers' three-pointers with all our might, and we're going to pounce out, and we're going to go out and not give them a chance to shoot three-pointers. Two points we try to defend. ”

"On the offensive end, we play slowly, play simple, and play singles for Li Feng. Dragging time reduces the walker's score, and that's it, it's up to our luck. ”

Van Gundy set up the defense, the Pacers also set up the offense, and the two teams returned to the court.

The Pacers came back and played a "bomb" tactic, this is what Vogel prefers to use, the Pacers get together and then disperse immediately, George holds the ball on the outside, he just got the ball up, he found that the Pelicans' defense has completely changed, and suddenly pounced, George faced two people in the bag.

He turned around and passed the basketball into Stephenson's hands, and he wanted to use Stephenson as the middle point to pass for a while.

But there was a problem with Stephenson's side to get the ball, he wanted to pass a high ball above Li Feng's head, but he just passed the basketball, and Li Feng stole the basketball as soon as he jumped up.

After stealing the basketball, Li Feng did not immediately run towards the Pelicans' half, but immediately passed the ball to Rose and yelled:

"Fight slowly! Hit it slowly! ”

Li Feng reminded his teammates to play slowly, and the voice was very loud. He yelled, Bill Wharton, and Vogel, they all understood.

The Pelicans' defensive and offensive strategy changed in the final minute, defending the three-point line and putting more pressure on the Pacers from the outside. Slowly grinding time on offense, the Pelicans want to use a 6-point advantage to slowly suppress the Dead Pacers.

Vogel jumped up from his seat almost immediately and shouted:

"Looting. Give me up to be more aggressive, to be more defensive! ”

Vogel understands that if he can't form an efficient defense at this time, his team will be finished, and he will have to be worn to death by the Pelicans, so he also made up his mind at a critical moment. As soon as Vogel yelled, Rose immediately increased the pressure, and the Pacers' two-man defense pounced on him.

Rose could only pass Arenas, but Arenas didn't dare to be careless at this time. The basketball is in Li Feng's hands again.

Li Feng took the ball on the left side and leaned on Scola while holding the ball, which finally eased a little, but the Pacers' bag arrived immediately, which made Li Feng realize. Van Gundy's time-grinding tactics could not be executed.

Li Feng thought of this, immediately turned around, protected the basketball, and then jumped up and passed the ball to find the only relatively empty point - Al Jefferson.

Roy Hibbert was a big step away from Jefferson, and Li Feng's ball was in Jefferson's hands, and Roy Hibbert immediately pounced. After landing, Li Feng took advantage of this opportunity to run towards Jefferson's side.

Jefferson happened to have a short pass to Li Feng, Li Feng ran away from Jefferson, and Scola who was defending him was immediately blocked, and Roy Hibbert had to follow out to defend. But his speed is not the same level as Li Feng.

Li Feng ran out quickly, grabbed Roy Hibbert, and suddenly jumped out of the three-point line with a big step back, and pulled it up and shot a three-pointer.

Roy Hibbert really couldn't keep up with Li Feng's footsteps. Scola was blocked by Jefferson and couldn't catch up, and the rest of the Pacers players were chasing their opponents. Li Feng was like an empty seat at this time.

Take off, fall back. Three-point shot, wrist shaking, Li Feng's series of actions are all done extremely perfectly, even he feels that his movements are as smooth as flowing water, and the basketball shot feels like it is not thrown, but flows out of the body.

The basketball flew out, crossed an arc and flew into the net, and Li Feng hit a three-point shot!

The ball was hit at once, and suddenly the Consec Arena was half seawater, half fire, half frustrated sighs, half earth-shattering cheers.

With 35 seconds left in the game, the Pelicans stretched the deficit to nine points.

The shape of the Pacers is so severe, and Li Feng's three-point shot is simply a nail in the coffin.

Joan Barry was also on the sidelines at this time, shaking his head and saying:

"Now the Pacers are in trouble. Walkers are really in trouble! Unless something like Maddie's moment happens now, the Pacers are really finished. ”

Joanbari's regret here is beyond words, and half of the fans at the Consec Arena are also sighing, and even Vogel is a little unhappy at this time.

Losing such a game has nothing to do with the overall situation of the Pacers, but the media behind it will definitely make irresponsible comments.

George looked sideways at Li Feng, at this time he reminisced about Li Feng's game process, independent support in the first half, the hurricane in the third quarter, the perfect distribution of basketball in the fourth quarter, and a fatal blow at the critical moment. This guy really isn't a character to mess with.

Li Feng shot such a ball, clenched his fists excitedly, and roared loudly towards the court.

Liu Qiyu, who originally liked to watch Li Feng eat deflated, jumped up unconsciously when Li Feng shot the three points just now. She skipped it, only to suddenly realize that she had actually been infected by that guy too.

Thinking about it, Liu Qiyu suddenly got a little angry, and it seemed that he was being influenced more and more by that guy.

The Pacers were in a difficult situation, and Vogel immediately called a timeout to set up a tactical offense.

The most practical and fastest way for the Pacers to win now is to shoot three-pointers, so when Vogel was arranging, Van Gundy was also arranging how to defend three-pointers.

At the end of the timeout, the Pacers' side was still a starburst tactic, George was defended by Li Feng, and Scola sent the basketball to George Hill's hands.

George Hill took a step with the ball and suddenly crashed into Rose, then turned around and shot straight away.

George Hill's shooting, the shooting point is unusually backward, it is extremely difficult to block, and at this time he wants to relieve the pressure for George.

It's a pity that he didn't see Li Feng in the crowd, Li Feng saw that George Hill had made a shot, he flew up a block, and gave the basketball to the Pacers' half court, Rose ran wildly forward, and George Hill didn't react at all when he grabbed the basketball.

At this time, the Pacers players rushed up and wanted to foul Rose, but Rose suddenly passed the ball horizontally, and the basketball went to Li Feng, who had just reached the Pacers' three-point line.

The moment Li Feng received the ball, his sense of rhythm was very comfortable, so he got up directly and shot a three-pointer.

Three points like a knife!

"Huh!"

This three-pointer was also shot, and this time it was completely declared that the Pacers were finished.

There were 21 seconds left, but the margin was stretched to 15 points, and the momentum was gone, and the Pacers were completely dead.

Liu Qiyu immediately forgot what he had just thought, and jumped up all of a sudden.

and Liu Qiyu made a move, and everyone on the Pelicans bench, players, coaches, staff, everyone jumped up.

The audience behind the Pelicans roared all at once, and the whole stadium was filled with cheers, and there was an exclamation at the bottom of the cheers.

In contrast to this celebratory atmosphere was a series of unwilling faces from Pacers players and the bench.

Bill Wharton shouted from the commentary bench at this time:

"Li Feng's three points, it's actually three points, he is a key three points. You must know that Li Feng's three-point shooting has not been very stable recently, and today he actually shot so many key three-pointers. ”

Bill Wharton's agitated speech was a little illogical, and Joan Barry was not much better:

"Li Feng, this guy is terrible, it's terrible."

Li Feng's three-point shot really put a lot of pressure on the Pacers and shocked the whole audience.

At this time, even Vogel had no timeout to call out, his timeout ran out. The Pacers kicked off in the backcourt, and Roy Hibbert scored two points on a raid to the basket, but that was to no avail.

The Pelicans regained control of the basketball with only 10 seconds left, and Rose consumed those 10 seconds with ball control, and the Pelicans beat the Pacers on the road, which made people stunned.

At the end of the game, Li Feng, who scored 43 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists, was named the best player in the game, and he himself was bathed in applause.

In this game, no matter which fan it is, they all enjoyed a rare visual feast. (To be continued......)
