Chapter 1078: Staples defects

The scores of the two teams are also gradually getting closer, 24-22, and the Los Angeles Clippers are two points behind.

At this point, Barkley was also very surprised.

"The Los Angeles Clippers made a big change in their style of play today, doing a lot of no-nonsense runs on offense, which is very different from their original free style. A lot of off-ball runs gave the Los Angeles Clippers more offensive opportunities. And their efforts on the defensive end and decisive joint defense have added a lot of trouble to the Pelicans. In this way, the Pelicans need to think about how to break the Los Angeles Clippers' defense. ”

The Pelicans are indeed a little aggrieved now, they thought that it would be easy to beat the Los Angeles Clippers, but what people didn't expect was that after arriving at the Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Clippers put this big formation of turtle shells for the Pelicans to fight, and the Pelicans were naturally very tricky.

Now Van Gundy sat on the sidelines, frowning, looking at the court vigorously, and it took a long time for the bald man to say:

"The Clippers bet on us, and we'll play with them slowly?"

"In the second quarter of the game, we try to start from the inside, Li Feng, Ayr, you all try to receive the ball from the inside, receive the ball near the penalty area, receive the basketball and compress their defense, they must be successful, they can pass the ball."

"I couldn't find an opportunity to pass the ball inside, so I broke them and continued to compress their position, and I don't believe the Los Angeles Clippers β˜…' joint defense can be flawless. Compress them, use a qiΔ“ possible means to compress them. That's what you're going to do. ”

Van Gundy roared on the sidelines, and the Pelicans players nodded vigorously, even though it was at the Staples Arena of the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Pelicans were really unwilling to be so easily equalized by the Los Angeles Clippers.

You must know that in the first two games, he defeated the Los Angeles Clippers lightly.

In the game, the two teams returned to the court, opening with the Pelicans' ball, and at this time it was the bench players on the court.

Gasol and Henson worked hard to get into the Los Angeles Clippers' interior position. The Pelicans had just passed the basketball in here, and the basketball fell and the two guys missed.

Here, Van Gundy still made some mistakes in judgment, and of all the offensive methods, the attack of the big man in the low post is the most in need of the team's cooperation.

Cover, open up space, pass, pull away defenders, pick up players. No one is missing. With one less person, this scene will be insufficient.

It can be said that the low-post offense, the fans look simple, but it is actually the most labor-intensive offensive means. Playing this kind of ball requires a very high degree of cooperation, but the Pelicans hastily decided to play like this, and they were unsatisfactory in all kinds of coordination.

So if you want to play inside, if there is no space inside, the players who attack in the low post are too easy to be pinched and missed.

The Los Angeles Clippers cut off the Pelicans' ball. Immediately turned around and launched a fast attack, although the Los Angeles Clippers took into account the style of running without the ball today, but playing this kind of fast counterattack is the old business of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers turned around and ran quickly for a fast-break layup.

The Pelicans' counter-attacking tactics in the first round were not very successful, and at this point Van Gundy also saw that he had set up something inappropriate. He immediately stood up and shouted at his teammates on the field.

"Give up the low attack, break through, give me a breakthrough!"

Van Gundy made a new decision on the sidelines on the court for the Pelicans' players. Sure enough, he gave up the low-post offense, sought to use the breakaway to compress the Los Angeles Clippers' defense, and then exploited the loophole to attack.

The Pelicans play like this. Although it can achieve certain results, it cannot fundamentally solve this layer of solid defense of the Los Angeles Clippers.

And after the Los Angeles Clippers' main players gradually returned to the court, the Pelicans' ability to break through and compress became weaker and weaker.

The Pelicans weren't a very good team to break through in the first place, and now they have encountered a dense defense, and their ability to break through is even more affected.

At this time, Van Gundy could only count on Li Feng again. In the 4th minute of the second quarter, before Van Gundy changed Li Feng to the court, Van Gundy deliberately said in Li Feng's ear:

"Li Feng, enter the inside line to drive his teammates. I think you know what to do, you have to lead the whole team to attack, and now the time is still there, and you can't hold it alone. ”

Li Feng understood what Van Gundy meant, and Van Gundy wanted to lead the whole team's offense by himself.

This is also something that Li Feng must do now, and the role of a star is this. A star is a special point, and this special point can drive the whole team to break the situation and change the whole style of play.

Li Feng is now back on the court as a special point.

Li Feng observed on the sidelines just now that the best point to break through the joint defense of the Los Angeles Clippers is still on the inside.

So Li Feng walked towards the court, and first had an extra eye on Al Jefferson and Roteng.

Al Jefferson is right next to him, near the basket, so he knows where he is at all times and can attack under the basket of the Los Angeles Clippers at any time.

As the pelican's all-rounder, Luo Teng's range of movement is the most weird, and passing the ball to Luo Teng, Luo Teng is easy to do a good job of secondary organization, so Li Feng marked these two people first.

Corey is generally answering himself, if he's either answering himself, or he's ambushing around a corner.

As soon as Li Feng walked back, Kenny Smith in the commentary seat immediately said:

"Li Feng is back now. Judging from the way the Pelicans solved the problem just now, the Pelicans wanted to solve the Los Angeles Clippers' defense from the inside. Now Li Feng's return is likely to be the core of the Pelicans' problem, and Li Feng is very likely to start playing from the inside. You must know that Li Feng has enough offensive ability whether he breaks through or in the low position. ”

As soon as Kenny Smith's words fell, he saw Li Feng quickly squeeze towards the basket from one side.

Li Feng used the method of forcibly blocking the position at this time, and the whole person seemed to be a mollusk, occupying the space little by little, and then easily moved to the vicinity of the Los Angeles Clippers' restricted area and moved here.

Corey hurriedly passed the basketball in, Li Feng received the basketball without doing any dribbling action, and it was too easy to be broken off in the crowd, Li Feng simply took advantage of the street ball to make a turn-over jumper, in front of Barnes. Fluttered the basketball into the basket of the Los Angeles Clippers.

This time, Van Gundy was happy, and the man who broke through the Los Angeles Clippers' defense finally came.

Li Feng's goal opened the beginning of the Pelicans' interior offense.

Rivers was a little uneasy, if Li Feng could continue to open the opening on the inside, his defensive tactics would be in vain.

Rivers was anxious, his team was a little anxious, and when the Los Angeles Clippers rushed over, they made a simple run and went straight to the three-point shot.

However, the Pelicans did a good job of outside defense at this time, and the basketball smashed on the hoop and didn't shoot at all.

The Los Angeles Clippers missed a ball, and Li Feng immediately took the basketball into his arms under the basket. A quick pass to Corey and a yell:

"Give it to me in a moment, and I'll continue to play their inside line."

Corey smiled and didn't say anything!

Li Feng arrived at the half court of the Los Angeles Clippers, and this time the Los Angeles Clippers couldn't let Li Feng get into the inside line of their own house lightly.

Barnes quickly walked out and got stuck in front of Li Feng, and the movement was very large, and he stretched out his hands and pushed Li Feng hard, Barnes's movement was very big. It is also very rough, with a lot of elbow and hand movements.

Barnes's defense is to block the card position of internal energy, but Li Feng has encountered so many small moves from Barnes. There was still no retreat, and the whole body was pressed against Barnes's body and squeezed over a little bit.

In this way, Barnes was a little angry, and flung Li Feng's arm desperately in the back, and Li Feng was almost thrown and fell by Barnes.

But there's been such a big move here. The referee at the home of the Los Angeles Clippers didn't even let out a fart.

This made Li Feng depressed, the home court of the Los Angeles Clippers is too bad!

Barnes made such a move, and they didn't even let out a fart. It also makes you how to play.

Li Feng reluctantly controlled his body, and took advantage of this opportunity to quietly stretch out a hand to the side. Finally stuck the position.

Li Feng was stuck in the position, and Barnston felt extremely bored, and he had done it all. His hands and feet are so dark, Li Feng can still get stuck in his position, so what else can he do to stop Li Feng?

Barnes didn't know, but thinking like this, Barnes suddenly felt a little chill on his body.

But Li Feng, who was stuck in the position, did not hesitate to turn around and attack immediately after receiving the basketball.

It's still that move, it's just that one jump shot.

Barnes even knew that Li Feng would use this trick, but he knew that he would not be able to complete the defense even if he jumped. I can't defend against this trick!

Sure enough, Li Feng turned around and scored points on Barnes again.

A Li Feng appeared and scored points in the low post of the Los Angeles Clippers in a row, because the Los Angeles Clippers' defense lacked coordination, Li Feng's card position was easy, because of Barnes's lack of defensive skills and defensive level, Li Feng was very comfortable attacking in the low post.

After two attacks, Rivers, who already knew Li Feng well, immediately stood up and called a timeout.

With the Los Angeles Clippers and Pelicans players back on either side of the bench, Barkley took the opportunity to say:

"Li Feng's return really gave the Los Angeles Clippers a certain blow in the low post, Rivers wants to win, he still has to control Li Feng. So my guess is that the Los Angeles Clippers will definitely make a move against Li Feng after the timeout. ”

Van Gundy also knew that the Los Angeles Clippers would definitely make a move, so when Li Feng returned to the bench.

Van Gundy immediately instructed Li Feng in Li Feng's ear to pay attention to the position of his teammates in the next game.

Now the position of his teammates is in Li Feng's mind, and there is no need for Van Gundy Sodo to say this.

After the game restarted, the Los Angeles Clippers did a wide range of wrapping up Li Feng.

As soon as Li Feng got the basketball here, the Los Angeles Clippers immediately clamped Li Feng, but Li Feng clearly knew the position of his teammates, and sent the basketball to Al Jefferson with a light pass in the crowd.

Al Jefferson dunked easily behind Li Feng, when the Los Angeles Clippers opened the joint defense, Li Feng had a chance to attack the interior, and when the Los Angeles Clippers came to contain Li Feng, Li Feng's other talent was also shown, and his strategy and vision were also top-notch.

This allows Li Feng to know exactly what is happening on the court, and with these abilities, Li Feng has mastered a good balance between his own attack and passing teammates. Using this balance, Li Feng truly mastered the game.

From the second quarter onwards, the Los Angeles Clippers' combined defense collapsed.

It's not just the defense that collapsed this time, the entire Los Angeles Clippers team collapsed. Under the leadership of Li Feng, the Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Clippers inside and shot constantly outside.

The firepower of the whole team inside and outside is very perfect, Rivers feels that the joint defense can block Li Feng's breakthrough, but he forgot about it, the Los Angeles Clippers are now strong, and they are strong in the combination of inside and outside. Once this point is brought into play, the danger is much more powerful than Li Feng's crazy breakthrough.

After all, Li Feng's breakthrough was strong alone, but if the Pelicans played a combination of inside and outside, it would be the strength of the entire Pelican.

The Pelicans originally had so many three-point maniacs, and now that they have two big men on the inside, don't the three-point maniacs on the outside have a chance to shoot?

In this way, the Pelicans completely controlled the game, and from the second quarter to the end of the game, the Pelicans' three-point and interior offense never stopped.

From the inside out. The Los Angeles Clippers' home game at Staples Arena didn't produce the glory they expected, and instead they were greeted with a humiliating defeat.

The Pelicans defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 107-84 at Staples Arena, and the Los Angeles Clippers' off-ball running offense was okay at first. But when it is used later, it doesn't seem to be in line with the character of the Clippers, and gradually they can't call themselves.

As a result, the Los Angeles Clippers' offense became a four-off, which gave the Pelicans a chance to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers in the end.

The Los Angeles Clippers can't do it offensively and can't defend it. The game is over for good.

The Pelicans rewrote the series to 3-0, and in that case, few teams could come back from behind.

Now it's the turn of the Los Angeles Clippers to have a headache.

The Pelicans players happily walked into the tunnel of the players. At this time, the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers who booed the Pelicans also left the court listlessly, and the Los Angeles Clippers lost badly today.

Li Feng once again cut the "normal" number of 35 points, 17 rebounds and 11 assists, and after the game, Li Feng was trying to prevent Barnes from saying something and erasing his own credit.

Li Feng simply said in front of reporters:

"Today we won, whatever is we won, apart from that, nothing else matters. Counting, opponents, anything is just a decoration in the face of victory. ”

This series between the Los Angeles Clippers and Pelicans actually set the tone from the start.

From the first game of the series, the Los Angeles Clippers finally caught up with the Pelicans, but instead Li Feng ruined the good thing and set the tone.

The Los Angeles Clippers lost their vitality and fighting confidence in that game, and now, they originally wanted to snipe a Pelican at home, but they were slaughtered by the Pelicans instead.

This qiΔ“ heralded a most tragic end, with the Los Angeles Clippers being swept away.

The Pelicans' footsteps relentlessly stepped past the Los Angeles Clippers for Game 4 at Staples Arena.

By the way, the Los Angeles Clippers, when talking about this team in previous seasons, people immediately thought of old Rotten, the owner who picked the door, and the waste of genius and so on.

But as soon as the Clippers were mentioned this season, a name "Griffin" immediately popped into my head

Indeed, after Griffin's return from injury this season, it feels refreshing. Griffin's all-round attack, super physical elements, and ferocious buckles all make people happy.

Because there has been no such powerful interior player in the entire league for a long time, the interior players who have come out in the past few seasons are either not physical, or technical, or they are soft.

But Griffin was very surprised as soon as he appeared this season,

"Wow! This guy is so athletic! ”

"Good ball control!"

"And the pitch!"

"The dunk is simply beautiful!"

Griffin has brought surprises to the entire league, and this season Griffin has averaged 26+10+4 per game, because he has occasionally played triple-doubles, and has even been touted as a "playmaker".

It was such a guy who met Li Feng and was directly beaten.

Those griffins don't make any more noise, after all, a player's number is inversely proportional to the team's victory, and no matter how much it is just a vase. Even a player of Paul Pearce's calibre was just a better-looking vase before the Boston Big Three won the championship, and Griffin was a bird's feather.

On the other hand, Li Feng continued to count crazy jΓΉ, when Li Feng played, there were already cheers from the Staples Arena, the home court shared by the Clippers and the Lakers had already turned against him before the opening, and the Staples Arena had defected, even if he was not a Laker, he could only say that Li Feng was too good.

Al Jefferson and Jordan went into the center circle scrum. After Al Jefferson met Jordan, he immediately took a suffocation.

The basketball was easily picked by Jordan to the side of the Clippers, and Crawford got the basketball in the back and calmly pushed it towards the Pelicans' halfcourt.

How to say that Crawford is calm, it depends on which Crawford's opponent is!

Corey's figure is a hard injury, and the two of them are two heavyweight players at all, so when he saw Crawford twisting his ass and rushing over with a wicked smile, Li Feng only had to mourn for Corey in the back.

In the opening game, the Clippers came over and played very steadily, and they didn't do anything about it, mainly because Crawford was too happy to eat Corey. It was Crawford above who held down Corey. Below, Li Feng had just arrived at his defensive position when he saw Griffin's ass sideways.

Inserted in front of himself, this kid wants to get stuck? As soon as Li Feng saw it, Griffin was going to make himself on the inside at the beginning.

He immediately lifted his spirits. The whole body leaned forward, and stubbornly resisted the Griffin, preventing the guy from getting stuck deeper into the master's position.

Li Feng's defensive moves and strategies are more conservative and don't look like a big deal off the court.

But Griffin felt differently. As soon as he came in, he felt that Li Feng's position was very stuck. I can't push it at all, and I can't get stuck in it. Encountering this situation, Griffin was already numb.

Griffin could only catch the basketball and slammed it into the back with all his strength, Li Feng had already prepared for this.

The bodies of the two big men "Bang! With a bang, the knots slammed together, a ferocious impact, but Li Feng's position did not move, and Griffin retreated a little bit.

At this point, Griffin's body instinct told him that this way was not working. At this time, I have to admit that when Griffin's skills are comprehensive, and when he can't press into the inside, Griffin comes with a very elegant turnaround and step-back jumper.

The movement was extremely light, Li Feng hurriedly stretched his hand forward, trying his best to interfere with Griffin, and in the end, Li Feng's body advantage still affected the arc of Griffin's shot, and the basketball smashed into the hoop and missed.

Al Jefferson easily put away the rebound behind Li Feng, and then the Pelicans immediately rushed towards the Clippers' halfcourt.

The pace of today's game was a bit peculiar, and the Pelicans didn't use the Pelicans' best three-point shot in the Clippers' half.

Instead, he played the low post, and he didn't let an inside big black post like El Jefferson complete it, but gave the task to Granger to complete.

You must know that Granger can be a good player who is good at listening to the opinions of the masses, and now Granger has really stepped up his attack in the low post.

got the basketball and sat down under the basket step by step, and when he saw that the Clippers were about to come out and shoot, he suddenly made a turnover jump shot and sent the basketball into the basket.

Austin Rivers, who received the basketball, rushed towards the Pelicans' half court with the basketball, and this rhythm was even more ferocious than that of the Warriors.

As soon as Li Feng saw this situation, his eyes immediately fixed on the movement of Griffin on the other side. Because in yesterday's game, Griffin was the most difficult to guard against in this situation, Griffin's height disadvantage is average efficiency when playing positional battles, but once the pace of the game is accelerated, Griffin's speed, ball control, and bounce advantage are doubled. The height disadvantage was smoothed out.

Li Feng stared at Griffin here, but he didn't expect that when Austin Rivers rushed over, he quickly changed direction and passed Luo Teng by half a step, and then directly made a high-stop toss and threw the basketball into the Pelicans' basket.

Austin Rivers actually had a dragon, this guy hit the Pelicans up and down a little surprised, this guy was too fast and too resolute.

Actually, it's not surprising that Austin Rivers has such a look, after all, his dad is here to escort.

Griffin is a godson, and he is his own son. (To be continued......)
