Chapter 696: Little Lori and Uncle

The Wizards came to attack again, but Wall dribbled the ball or used the cover to break through quickly, and then went to the basket and passed the ball to Booker under the basket.

Wall's pass is good, and Booker's position is also very good, but Booker is not an offensive player, the rhythm of catching the ball is not right, and a hook is too ugly to work. Even if the Wizards played a chance, there were no players who could attack, and they still missed.

Once Booker missed, the Pelicans grabbed the rebound and ran up quickly, and the Pelicans ran fast with the two big men, chasing the Wizards' ass and pounding their assholes. The Wizards are also running wildly, but in this kind of high-speed movement, it is impossible for them to set up a good defense.

The Pelicans took this opportunity to play an offensive and defensive transition for the opponent, Li Feng came up with the ball, and Al Jefferson took a little cover.

Li Feng used the cover to break in, and faked the ball and passed the basketball back to Al Jefferson, who bounced to the free throw line, and Al Jefferson took the ball and also hit a mid-range shot.

In this way, the Pelicans have two interior lines, the low post is there, and the mid-range shot is also there! The Wizards had no way to defend, and in an instant the Wizards fell into a dire situation.

The Wizards were in a difficult situation, and at this point the first quarter was about to end, and Randy Whitman was replaced by Matt Webster.

The Wizards once gave Webster a lot of hope, but Webster arrived at the Wizards completely failed the expectations of all parties, and this disappointment was the most thorough, he was not incapable, but unwilling to work hard.

Webster couldn't resist a tough battle on the court, and the Pelicans led the Wizards by 6 points in the first quarter with a 30-24 late play.

Randy Whitman saw that his team couldn't win if he continued to play like this, and he immediately began to make up his mind.

At this time, the Wizards should make a choice, either to let the Pelicans play inside and make up for it on the offensive end, or to concentrate on killing the Pelicans' interior line, and then gamble that the Pelicans' outside shot will not hit.

Randy Whitman thought about it a little on the sidelines and decisively chose the second option.

Because if you continue to let the Pelicans play inside. The hit rate of the inside line is definitely higher than that of the outside line, and once they open the inside line, their outside line can't be saved. Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to go up and fight, and it is better to actively adjust than to wait passively.

After making a decision, Randy Whitman immediately spoke his opinion to the team.

Although the Wizards' players can carry out Randy Whitman's orders on the court, it does not mean that Randy Whitman and the players are on harmony.

Since Randy Whitman came to coach, Wall has not had a few conflicts with him, but with the mediation of the management, the two can still insist on working together.

Compared to Randy Whitman's tricky. Van Gundy's side had some minor troubles at the beginning, and everything was planned.

And Van Gundy is well aware that his team did not do their best in the game and is not in the best form of his team, but he can still suppress the opponent. As long as they are not negligent in today's game, they will win.

Coming back in the second quarter, both teams switched to bench lineups, and the Pelicans' side of the bench was naturally dominated by Calonebutler Oladipo, and the Wizards were dominated by Webster.

At this time, Webster was obviously not the ingredient for the main course. But the Wizards really have no one available this season.

In the first two minutes of the game, the Wizards couldn't hold it first, and Webster was reluctant to attack when he encountered a tough defense, and this guy was obviously unreliable.

The Pelicans took advantage of this time. The score was stretched to 37-26, and the Pelicans' lead was on 10 points.

At this time, Randy Whitman was depressed and could only get Wall back immediately, and Randy Whitman could only count on Wall now, but there were still some small contradictions between Wall and him.

The Wizards were the first to throw the main force up. Wall came up and it worked, taking the ball in a trademark march that turned up the crotch and threw DJ Augustin aside, Wall threw a mid-range shot and hit two points with ease.

Wall came up and scored. But now the key for the Wizards is not so much about scoring, it's about defense.

The Pelicans immediately pushed over, and then when the Wizards were rolling up their sleeves and preparing to fight with the Pelicans inside, they saw that the Pelicans' interior line was all floating outside, it turned out that Van Gundy somehow pushed Caron Butler to the power forward position in the second quarter today, and the center was Thornton, both of whom could shoot three-pointers, completely ignoring the Wizards' interior.

In this way, the Pelicans' two interior lines are capable of long-range shots, and the Pelicans pull both interior lines outside, and the Wizards are ready to desperately can't find anyone, so they can only watch the Pelicans throw the ball around.

In the end, the basketball was still in the hands of Ronnie Brewer, and Webster had a chance to go up and defend when Brewer got the ball, but Webster was too lazy and didn't keep up. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, Brewer immediately got up and threw a long-range shot.

Brewer scored two points so easily, and Randy Whitman's lack of prestige is not good on the side, but Wall on the court is the court boss of the Wizards, and he is the person who has the absolute right to speak in the locker room. As soon as he saw Webster on the defensive, Wall immediately yelled at Webster:

"Matt, defend with your body and keep up with me."

Wall yelled at Webster, who was also the boss in high school, although Webster was also unhappy in his heart.

But he hasn't been crazy enough to dare to shout at the current Wizards' boss Wall, and Webster can only pinch his nose and endure it if he is unhappy.

In the opening game, Randy Whitman's consideration of the Wizards' strong interior line did not appear, and the Wizards could only continue their outside tactics when they came over.

Wall took the ball and pushed in, and immediately passed the ball to Otto Porter, who had the ball at 45 degrees, when Jones got the ball.

Wall immediately stabbed to the depth of the free-throw line, then suddenly ran out to take advantage of Webster's bull play cover and came out to catch the ball.

At this time, the dragged Booker passed the ball to Wall, Wall took the ball outside the three-point line and first made a fake pass, his body shook, and then in front of DJ Augustin, two consecutive crotch hits into the three-point line, DJ Augustin's side has not yet reacted when Wall pulled up a mid-range.

Wall hit the shot from mid-range, and the fans who saw the Wizards' home court were also more excited.

Although Wall's best is breaking, and his shooting ability is unstable, but Wall once he shoots accurately. It's also scary.

The Pelicans controlled the ball, Oladipo took the ball and held the rhythm, and waited until Thornton ran from behind to cover Brewer, who had penetrated the baseline, and then he passed the basketball to Brewer's hands.

Brewer took the ball and dribbled sideways into the Wizards' restricted area, but Brewer was not a breakthrough player with the ball, and he could only pass the ball to DJ Augustin on the wing at this position, and DJ Augustin was not sure about the ball, or passed it back to Oladipo, and the basketball rotated in the hands of several players of the Pelicans.

Oladipo still seems unhurried with the ball at this time, and Rose is a player that the Pelicans focus on developing. Under Van Gundy's tutelage, he is much smarter than playing in college, although the projection is still not good, but in the position of the core of the organization, he has made significant progress, especially in the rhythm mastery and distribution of the ball.

At this time, he saw that Caron Butler pulled to the far waist position on the left, and he immediately passed the basketball to Caron Butler's hands.

As soon as Kalombbutler saw that time was running out to get the ball, he immediately singled Ariza and took the ball to spy on him. Get up for a middle distance.

Although Ariza did not have the ability to attack with the ball, he was still very effective on the defensive end, and immediately succeeded in interfering with Kalombbutler.

The Pelicans' offense failed this time!

Wall grabbed the rebound himself in the box and went on a quick slash. Near the Pelicans' three-point line, facing DJ Augustin, Wall changed direction with one hand with his left hand, and then immediately jumped back and stepped out of the three-point line to throw a three-point shot.

With Wall's shot. The three-point shot went into the net in response, and Wall scored 5 points in a row!

Seeing that Wall is about to smoke, Wall's lethality is simply earthquake-level. No matter how strong the team is, he can overturn it.

At this time, Van Gundy was nervous, he originally wanted Li Feng to sit on the sidelines for a while! Now I can only let Li Feng come over and prepare to play.

The Pelicans played again, and played a low-post tactic, before the Pelicans played more is the point guard pulled to the side, the players on this side are all cleared, all stand on the other side, and then the low-post attacker uses the cover to quickly cut over, card the main position and then immediately use the wide space to attack.

This time the Pelicans came, it was Rose standing at the top of the arc, all four players were standing on the baseline, two were responsible for pulling away, two were cross-covering, and Thornton took the opportunity to get stuck in a deep position under the basket, and then Rose handed the basketball to him.

Thornton's position is very good, and the Pelicans' tactics are basically successful, but Thornton is a little slower at this time, and he turns around to shoot because of poor timing.

Seeing that this was the case, Van Gundy immediately turned around and pulled Paul Millsap off the bench as well, so that he was also ready to play.

The Pelicans didn't score for two consecutive rounds, and Wall was in shape, and Wall came up and immediately shook the ball.

But DJ Augustin has already suffered a loss, and at this time he immediately bit Wall, and at the same time, Caron Butler, who was behind him, was also ready to come up and wrap up at any time. As a result, Wall saw that he couldn't score, and he immediately passed the ball to Ariza, who was dragging up.

Ariza took the ball, and Wall immediately ran along the three-point line to Jones to make a cross cover to the bottom corner.

At this time, Ariza threw the basketball again, and now the Wizards are playing with Wall alone, so the basketball is only looking for Wall.

Wall took the ball and immediately made a shooting catch, before Wall hit two shots in a row, so Wall came up this time DJ Augustin immediately ate a feint and was picked up by Wall, and DJ Augustin was clicked, and Wall went up to DJ Augustin and cheated a foul.

In this way, Wall had another chance to go to the free throw line, and seeing that Wall scored consecutive points, Van Gundy hurriedly took advantage of the dead ball time to replace Li Feng and Paul Millsap. Wall hit both free throws from the free throw line, and Wall scored eight straight points. The score between the two sides was rewritten to 37-34, and the difference between the two teams was only 3 points.

At this point, the Wizards' home commentator began to say:

"Everyone says that the Pelicans' Li Feng is explosive on the offensive end, and I don't think our Wall is inferior to him. Once Wall's shooting touch is found, I don't think Li Feng will necessarily be his opponent. ”

"Yes! Li Feng is good, but I think the league still overestimates this Chinese, and Gilbert is really blind that he does not return to the wizards but goes to be the little brother of the Chinese in such a good state. ”

As soon as Wall had a good performance, the commentator immediately picked up Wall, and then pressed Li Feng down.

The Pelicans traded for Li Feng and Paul Millsap. Li Feng came out and immediately took the ball in the backcourt and pushed it up.

Advancing to the Wizards' half, Li Feng did not rush to attack by himself, but immediately gestured to his teammates or played a low-post offense. Now the Pelicans have a huge advantage in the low post, and Li Feng will never let go of this advantage.

After making a tactical gesture, Li Feng immediately passed the ball to Ronnie Brewer on this side, and then suddenly cut into the low post himself, and then turned back to Paul Millsap to make a cross screen.

Li Feng's cover is really very powerful, and he actually squeezed aside Seraphim, the center who had just been replaced by the Wizards.

After Seraphim, who weighed nearly 130 kilograms, was squeezed away by Li Feng, he didn't believe that he was being pushed aside by a player of such a small size.

But in such a split second, Paul Millsap had already given Otto Porter to the card owner in a low position. If you don't seize this misplaced opportunity, it's simply a problem with IQ.

Brewer on the outside passed the ball, Paul Millsap took the ball and turned around and raised his hand, Otto Porter only jumped because the height difference between him and Paul Millsap was too much, and Otto Porter once jumped.

Paul Millsap immediately dribbled to the basket and made a throw to send the basketball to the Wizards' basket.

Paul Millsap came up and it worked, the Pelicans' inside advantage was really not fake, and Van Gundy was relieved when he saw Paul Millsap playing easily.

Li Feng saw Paul Millsap score, and he immediately shouted at the other party:

"Well done. You should dunk! Slam dunk! ”

Because of his height, Paul Millsap often scores in the easiest way instead of dunking, which deprives him of many opportunities to boost morale. So Li Feng seized the opportunity to remind Paul Millsap to dunk more.

Paul Millsap's non-dunking is also a habitual factor, and it will take time for him to break this habit.

The Wizards pushed in again, and they themselves immediately felt that they were different from Fang Cai.

After the Pelicans brought on Li Feng and Paul Millsap, the intensity of the defense increased a lot. Paul Millsap has a strong role in filling the inside line, and Li Feng also has a strong ability to clamp on the outside, under the strengthened defense. Wall came up and broke through once, but he also missed the shot.

The Pelicans grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, Li Feng quickly advanced with the ball, and then Li Feng passed the ball again to Paul Millsap, who was in the low post position.

Paul Millsap was about to play when he heard Randy Whitman on the sidelines shouting:

"Bag Clip!"

The Pelicans' interior strength was a tactic that the Wizards had prepared for a long time, so Randy Whitman yelled at the Wizards and several people came up to Paul Millsap.

Paul Millsap is an All-Star-caliber interior player, but he didn't go against the sky, and he could only pass the ball when he encountered a bag.

Caron Butler received a passing ball near the free throw line, and immediately raised his hand, but Otto Porter, who save, could only fly.

As soon as Otto Porter was flying, Caron Butler strode forward and dribbled to a one-handed dunk under the basket.

"Bang"

In a voice, the Wizards were proud that Caron Butler completed the offense with a dunk, and after Paul Millsap and Li Feng, Caron Butler was also revitalized.

This guy actually dunked all at once, and he played relatively easily, so Randy Whitman also realized that if the Pelicans continued to keep Crumon Butler on the court, it would be difficult for his bag and trap tactics to succeed.

But the greatest sorrow in life is that many times you know that this will not work, and you still have to.

At this time, the Wizards are facing this situation, their trapping tactics against the Pelicans have basically failed, but the Wizards must go all the way to the black, because they have no choice.

The Wizards don't have a player who can defend the Pelicans on the inside one-on-one, and they lack the foundation of the overall defense, and the only thing the Wizards can do in the face of a strong opponent is to gamble.

The defensive end failed, and the Wizards immediately came over on the offensive end, and this time the Wizards finally found a spot where they could bully the Pelicans.

Ariza was on the opposite side of Brewer, so that Ariza came over and reached for the ball, and then directly hit Brewer with his back.

Brewer was too skinny and was squeezed to the basket by Ariza in a few steps, and then Ariza turned and wiped the board, finally scoring two points for the Wizards.

The Pelicans were misplaced by the Wizards like this, Oladipo dribbled again, and the Pelicans played the baseline again.

Oladipo stood alone at the top of the arc, and the other four people in the team crossed cover in the bottom corner, Li Feng used the double cover of the baseline to quickly cut out to get the ball, and got the basketball Just when the Wizards' defensive attention was focused on himself, Li Feng turned around and passed the basketball to Fang Cai to cover himself, and now he turned to the hands of Kaloon Butler in the main position.

Caron Butler turned his back and took a step back for Booker, then suddenly stepped back and shot a jumper, this time with a high arc.

As soon as he shot the basketball, the Pelicans are now playing the Wizards' basket almost one by one, exactly like a stripped little Lori waiting for the evil uncle to ravage. . (To be continued......)
