"Huh!"

The Wizards immediately responded with a three-pointer, and the 118-14 Wizards immediately caught up with 3-pointers, and with 39 seconds left, the Wizards completed the offense in 10 seconds.

In 39 seconds, as soon as the Pelicans basketball came out of the baseline at this time, Van Gundy immediately shouted on the sidelines:

"Stalling for time! Be sure to delay! ”

In Van Gundy's roar, the Pelicans wanted to slow down when the ball came out, but at this time, Wall and Randy Whitman shouted "Rush!" almost at the same time. Then it was up to the Wizards to rush over Turner.

Li Feng saw that Turner was going to be good, he was not good at controlling and shooting, so he hurriedly went over to help.

Turner threw the basketball over, Li Feng took the ball and looked back to see the emptiness under the Wizards' basket, he immediately made a strong pass to Henson, who ran to the frontcourt, and Henson took the ball here and attacked the basket.

Gortat made a flying pounce from behind, and this time it pounced on Henson, Gortat was fouled, and he pounced on Henson's attack basket and missed. But at this time, the referee did not blow, the basketball went out of the bottom line, and the referee awarded the Wizards' ball.

At this time, the referee came out with a home whistle, and Van Gundy jumped into the stadium angrily and shouted, but at this time the referee ignored Van Gundy.

The Wizards' side is also urging the baseline to kick off quickly, and at this time there are 30 seconds left before the end of the court, and they have no time to waste.

The Wizards quickly drove out the basketball, Wall immediately passed the ball to Gooden, Gooden took the ball here and turned back to Caron Butler, Caron Butler was one step away from the Pelicans' three-point line when he got the ball, and at this position Caron Butler took the ball and threw out a long-range three-pointer.

"Huh!"

This three-point shot actually went in, and the Wizards actually hit a three-point shot at the last minute.

All of a sudden, the scores of the two teams became 118-117, and the difference was only 1 point.

There was only one point left, but with 26 seconds left, it looked like the Wizards had a chance to survive at the last minute. If they can defend down for a round. Even if you play a foul tactic, it is possible to win the game and even go to overtime.

The Pelicans kicked off the baseline, and the Wizards immediately launched a frantic scramble, and Turner didn't dare to take the ball and could only pass the basketball to Li Feng.

The first moment Li Feng got the ball here, Kaloon Butler came up and grabbed it, Li Feng immediately dodged him with a back dribble, and then broke through to the middle.

But Li Feng dodged a Caron Butler, and Otto Porter on the side immediately killed, and he attacked Li Feng from the side and back. Li Feng did this, and hurriedly dribbled the ball under his crotch and moved the basketball to the other side.

Li Feng dodged Otto Porter. Kaloon Butler came from here, so Li Feng hurriedly leaned on Kaloon Butler with his back and dribbled forward.

Li Feng wanted to run forward to avoid the bag, but at this time, Gooden also appeared in front of Li Feng, and he also participated in the encirclement and interception of Li Feng, so that Li Feng had Clumon Butler and Gooden on the left, and Otto Porter behind him, there was no gap at all, and Li Feng would definitely be blocked in the corner if he continued like this.

But at this time, Li Feng was in a desperate situation. Suddenly made a sharp stop and then sent the basketball to the back of his body, and at the same time, Li Feng's body twisted 270 degrees like a snake, and the one-handed penalty actually broke through from the Wizards' three-man bag.

Li Feng took the ball alone, and the three of the Wizards chased and intercepted him. didn't steal the basketball either, the wizards who played all of a sudden were helpless, and Li Feng's ball control was simply amazing.

But at this time, the wizards didn't have time to be surprised at all, and Wall couldn't catch Li Feng and the three of them in front of him. Look at it again, time is running out.

He immediately yelled "Foul!" ”

The Wizards' player came to his senses, caught Li Feng was a foul, and sent Li Feng to the free throw line.

Li Feng went to the free throw line. The Wizards' home court is full of commotion, and they want to disrupt Li Feng's thinking and make Li Feng miss both free throws, so that their team has a chance to win.

However, in the midst of the harassment of the whole court, Li Feng made two free throws at the free throw line, so that the score of the two teams became 120-117, and with 21 seconds left, the Wizards could only shoot three points, and if they shot, they could only play overtime.

In this case, the Wizards called a timeout, and it was the last offense.

At this time, Joanbari said in shock:

"I really didn't expect that the two teams could fight like this in the end, and there were ups and downs in the last minute. This attack can definitely decide the fate of both teams! ”

Mark Jones also said at this time:

"It was a great race, especially at the end. A minute ago I thought the Wizards were finished, but now they still have a chance. ”

Yang Yi, who is in China, also said at this time:

"The last quarter of today's game was so thrilling, it was just a thrilling step, every minute there was a huge change, huge drops, ups and downs, and I couldn't stand it with a bad heart, especially the Wizards fans! Today's Wizards are really tough, and in terms of tenacity, they are much stronger than the previous two games! ”

At the end of the timeout, the Wizards kicked off on the sideline, and the kick-off played a tactical offense, and the basketball went firmly to Wall, who blocked and dismantled with Caron Butler, and he gave the basketball to Caron Butler again.

Once Caron Butler got the ball at the top of the arc at this time, the Wizards' players immediately scattered, and the Wizards had to be carried out by Kaloon Butler to carry out the final blow.

Li Feng was already standing in front of Kaloon Butler at this time, and just now Van Gundy arranged for Li Feng to defend Kaloon Butler.

At this time, Caron Butler took the ball sideways, protected the basketball with his body, and then looked at the court and looked at the timer. He was ready to attack, and Li Feng took the opportunity to harass the opponent's ball with his hands and his mouth at the same time.

"You don't get a chance to shoot! Let's break through! I'll let you break through. ”

The fool only broke through at this time! Now that the Wizards are 3 points behind, Caron Butler's breakthrough is useless, so Caron Butler ignores Li Feng. Instead, he held the basketball in the air with both hands, looked at the time, and also observed the court.

Time passes by second by second, waiting makes people anxious and expectant, and strength is also stored in waiting.

8 seconds. 7 seconds, 6 seconds, at this time, Caron Butler suddenly spied forward, trying to squeeze Li Feng, but Li Feng was as solid as a rock, as if he was on the ground, Caron Butler himself did not knock Li Feng, he could only dribble to the right side, trying to open up space, but at this time Li Feng's body moved quickly. And it was sticky like a piece of asphalt, stuck to Kaloon Butler's body.

couldn't squeeze away, Kalombbutler immediately took the ball and turned around, wanting to turn around and force a three-point shot, but just as he turned around, Li Feng's lower hand quickly touched a little bit of basketball.

Just like that, it made Caron Butler's posture with the ball not very comfortable, and the moment he turned around and forced his shot, he adjusted a little. When he made such an adjustment, Li Feng blocked Caron Butler's face again.

Caron Butler shot according to the feeling, and the basketball flew high "Bang! He slammed into the edge of the hoop and jumped high.

When the basketball jumps. All the Wizards fans were yelling on the court:

"Enter! Enter! Enter! ”

But at the same time, hundreds of millions of Pelican fans shouted in their hearts:

"Don't enter, don't enter, don't enter!"

The fate of both teams was in the hands of God in an instant, and many factors were at play at this time. Luck, odds, feelings. And the human heart.

Seeing Caron Butler's shot flying, he wanted to jump to the center of the basket, but when he shot just now, he still didn't see the basket accurately, and his shot was a little crooked by his hand, so that the basketball flew up and hit the rebound, and then fell directly to the side.

Before the basketball hit the ground, the red light came on.

When the red light came on, the Pelicans players cheered wildly, and the players on the bench rushed onto the court at once.

The players on the pitch hugged each other and yelled, and they finally beat each other at home.

The Pelicans occupy a qiē advantage, and now the Wizards can't win when they feel a convulsion, and they still can't win on their home court, and the Pelicans have destroyed the opponent's confidence.

The Pelicans players were enthusiastically celebrating, and Li Feng was surrounded by his teammates, and today Li Feng once again saved the team in the final quarter.

At the same time, the Wizards' players looked up to the sky and sighed, and Caron Butler was even more out of breath, he couldn't believe that Li Feng could actually destroy his offense in that instant just now, and the speed of this attack was too fast.

However, Kaloon Butler was Li Feng's teammate last year, and he also knew Li Feng's strength, but he felt that Li Feng was too strong, even if he knew Li Feng's strength, he still couldn't stop being shocked every time.

This year's Eastern Conference is very competitive, especially the teams from fourth to eleventh in the East have the largest gap of no more than one win.

After playing the Wizards, the Pelicans then challenged the Charlotte Hornets, who are ninth in the East.

The Hornets have been hurt by Jordan in recent years, but this year due to the growth of McKecey and Kemba Walker, they can still compete for a playoff spot in the East.

It was ESPN TV that commented on the game, but the live commentary became Adrian Griffin and Chuck Horford, Chuck Horford has always been known for his sharp words, and Horford is a die-hard fan of the Cavaliers, while the Pelicans have a two-season feud with the Cavaliers.

As a result, Horford was extremely underestimated on the Pelicans before the game:

"Although the Pelicans are the No. 1 team this season, I want to say that the Hornets really have some restraint on the Pelicans in terms of playing style, especially Kemba Walker, Kemba Walker's impact is very restrained by the Pelicans' guard group, and none of the Pelicans' several point guards have a strong weight."

Chuck Horford came up and sang about the Pelicans first, and then immediately said:

"Compared with the Pelicans, the Hornets have also made great achievements this year, although Arenas is reimbursed, the team has Kemba Walker and McKekey as the core, and gradually played their own style, with a relatively balanced offense and defense, in this game, the Hornets still have a good chance to beat the Pelicans."

Chuck Horford is constantly saying good things for the Hornets, such an obvious tendency, even his own partner can't look at you:

"Hey! Dude, you're too subjective. You are very unobjective, really, absolutely not objective, and even told lies. ”

"Oh! That's an exaggeration. "Chuck Horford hurriedly defended himself, and I think I'm still very professional and fair."

"Both teams have their own strengths, but I think the Pelicans are more stable and the Pelicans are more systematic defensively. The offense is more integral. The Hornets, on the other hand, have a lot of ups and downs defensively, and they rely more on individual offense offensively. If you want to say that the winning rate is still greater than that of the Pelicans! ”

"No, I still think ......"

The verbal exchange between Chuck Horford and Adrian Griffin is free, and fans are willing to listen to this kind of-for-tat commentary, and listening to a verbal fight is as cool as watching a fight.

At this time, the starting lists of the two teams came out, and the Pelicans' fake starters were immovable, point guard Knight, scoring guard Rotten, and small forward Li Feng. Power forward Al Jefferson, center Gasol.

The Pelicans have a neat lineup, which is mainly due to the team's large number of players and fast rotation.

The starting lineup on the Hornets' side is point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Lance Stephenson, small forward McKeekey, power forward Bismarck Biyombo, and center Cordillezer.

This lineup of the Hornets can only be regarded as a fake starter, and they will use this lineup to play for a while. But then the substitution of Gerard Henderson and Marvin Williams is their strongest offensive form.

The starting line-ups of both teams were lined, Cordillezer also began to fight with Gasol in the center circle, and the New Orleans Center was also very hot today, with the whole stadium full of fans. To the cheers of the fans, Gasol put the basketball into Knight's hand.

The Pelicans actually got the ball first at the beginning of today, and after getting the ball, the Pelicans first played a low-post tactic with a left waist, which is a position that Al Jefferson is best at.

in this position. Al Jefferson took the ball and immediately beat Biyombo, who is a professional defensive player.

He came up and resisted Al Jefferson very fiercely, and it was very difficult for Al Jefferson to make any moves.

In this case. Al Jefferson turned and missed a single shot, and the Hornets came up and defended the Pelicans with the first shot.

Chuck Horford suddenly said very excitedly:

"You see, the Hornets' defense is not a big improvement. Under this kind of defense, even the Pelicans will have a hard time taking advantage. ”

Adrian Griffin immediately said:

"Al-Jefferson has always been soft-minded, so it's normal for one to miss. Besides, the main thing in today's game is to look at the Pelicans' defense, and only after watching the Pelicans' defense can they have the right to speak. ”

When Adrian Griffin said this, the Hornets hit the ball just in time.

And on the first offense that the Hornets played, Kemba Walker dribbled, and the Pelicans immediately pounced to defend.

The Pelicans not only pounced on defense at this time, but also defended very fiercely, directly giving the Hornets the strongest physical contact.

The game just began, the Pelicans defended like this, Kemba Walker didn't have any buffer at all, and he almost made a mistake like him.

When Kemba Walker barely stabilized the ball, he saw Luo Teng and Li Feng teaming up to help defend McKekey, and it was very difficult to pass the ball to McKekey.

McKekey has a very difficult time receiving the ball here, the Pelicans don't let McKekey take the ball at all, and McKekey can't catch the ball here.

Kemba Walker only passed the ball to the low-post Corellézer, and Cordillezer has some low-post skills, but today's Pelicans' tactics are just one point, that is, to prevent you, the moment Cordilezer gets the ball, the Pelicans' bag is there.

Cordilleze is also not the type of low-post scorer who can be professional, and when this happens, he rushes out to pass the ball.

But now the intensity of the game is too high, and the passing level of Cordilleze is really average, as soon as his ball is shot, the Pelicans side Luo Teng broke the ball lightly.

broke off the basketball, Luo Teng turned around and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball and turned around and flew towards the Wasps.

The speed on the Hornets side was also very fast, but Li Feng immediately jumped his ass when he arrived at the Hornets' half, and beat Lance Stephenson with his back.

Lance Stephenson's defense is known for being tough, and when he encounters a strong defense, he immediately resists fiercely, pushing with his hands on the top and stuck between Li Feng's legs with his legs below, so that Li Feng is difficult to maintain balance even if he turns around.

Lance Stephenson's defense has used all the means he can use, but at this time, Li Feng is not at all entangled with him.

Li Feng adopted the most straightforward way, and suddenly jumped towards the basket to kill, although Li Feng was a little unstable by Stephen Sun, but he still sent the basketball to the basket with a high toss.

The Pelicans played the Hornets on a counterattack, and in the first round, the Pelicans showed an iron-blooded and deadly defense, not letting the Hornets shoot at all, and the main players didn't even let you touch the ball.

This is just the beginning of the game. The Pelicans didn't spare any hands, punched their faces without any temptation, and defended desperately when they came up.

At this time, Adrian Griffin said happily:

"The Pelicans still have a lot of experience in playing the Hornets, and they will defend desperately when they come up, not giving the Hornets a chance to feel up, and only in this way can they curb the individual play of the Hornets' players. This strategy is completely correct, as long as the Hornets are stopped in the half, and the Hornets are worn away, the Pelicans win. ”

When Adrian Griffin said this, Chuck Horford immediately said:

"This is the first round. McKekey and Kemba Walker will immediately adjust to the opposing defense. ”

Adrian Griffin shrugged his shoulders and said we'd see.

Yang Yi, the commentator on the domestic side, also said at this time:

"Today's focus on the Pelicans is on defense, and they put all their strength on defense at the beginning, so that the Pelicans' offense seems to be a lot more sloppy."

"Playing like this, it's definitely not going to look good, but it's definitely good for the Pelicans. It can be said that the more ugly today's game is, the more beneficial it is for the Pelicans, because the Pelicans are more effective in fighting this kind of entangled bad battle. ”

Yang Yi and Adrian Griffin both saw the essence of the matter at a glance. In fact, the essence of the Pelicans' game is defense, and defense is defense in addition to defense.

Although the Hornets now claim to be a balance between offense and defense, the essence of the Hornets is still offense, and they strangle the Hornets' offense. The Hornets can't win on defense.

This is different from the Grizzlies Spurs, the Grizzlies Spurs can't attack and can win by defense, and the Hornets can't do that.

And the way the Hornets attacked. Until now, it has not relied on the team to attack, but on the individual performance of a few people, so the defense is used to contain the feel of these people. The Pelicans' game is much lighter.

The Hornets suffered a loss in the first round, and when they came up in the second round, Kemba Walker immediately stabilized the situation and prepared to attack.

But at this time, the Pelicans are carrying out the strategy of pinching McKekie, and Kemba Walker is left to Knight alone.

Kemba Walker saw that the other party despised him, and he immediately accelerated to break through and try to force Knight over.

But Knight's side also learned from Lance Stephenson's way, going up to defend by any means, and Kemba Walker was more organized at this time, but the offense was weakened.

Suddenly encountered such a strong defense, still couldn't make a move, passed to Biyombo in the middle, Biyombo's offensive skills were not good, and he came up with a mid-lane throw, but he still missed.

The two main scorers on the Hornets side were both stalked by the Pelicans' defense, and one of the defenders couldn't make a move, and the other couldn't get the ball.

The Pelicans won the basketball, and immediately turned around and hit a Gasol mid-court cut.

Gasol took the ball in and turned around, and scored 2 more points, the Pelicans opened to play the Hornets a 4-0, and the most important thing is that the Hornets really can't deal with the current situation on the court, and the Hornets fell into a predicament at the beginning, so although the game was only more than a point in the opening Steve Clifford decisively called a timeout, and then directly replaced Gerard Henderson without saying a word.

McHale was prepared early, and when the Hornets traded for Henderson, he immediately replaced Roten and replaced Turner.

Both teams made quick substitutions, and when they came back from a timeout, the Hornets opened the game with the first attack, and as soon as the Hornets ball came out, it was immediately given to the new Gerrard Henderson.

However, just when Henderson got the ball, Turner quickly pasted it, and Turner stuck to Henderson to defend, the meaning was obvious, I don't let you shoot, but you can break through.

The breakthrough was not unacceptable for Henderson, but the key thing was that Turner was stuck up front and Al Jefferson was in the box behind him.

At this time, because the Hornets' Biyombo does not have a strong offensive ability, Al Jefferson can let him go far away to take care of Henderson.

As a result, Henderson had no way to shoot the ball or break through easily, so he had to take a step down the dribble, then step back to the wing and shoot a difficult step-back.

Henderson dodged Turner and threw a long-range shot, but Turner still didn't let Henderson stick to it, sticking to Henderson's defense.

The Pelicans put a lot of pressure on Henderson's defense, and Henderson missed his first shot. (To be continued......)
