Chapter 947: Cattle

The Spurs came back from a timeout, and the sideline tee shot immediately with a 45-degree pick-and-roll to send the basketball to Duncan's hands.

Duncan also saw at this time that the Pelicans were becoming more popular today, and they were completely like a bunch of beasts.

Looking at such a Pelican, Duncan felt a little complicated in his heart, on the one hand, as the current leader of the Spurs, he hated each other a little and wanted to suppress this group of animals, and on the other hand, Duncan also had this thought in his heart: 'How good would it be if my teammates could play like this?' ”

So now Duncan's feeling of holding the ball is a little wrong, the softest part of his heart is a little unbearable, he hesitated for 2 seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, turned around and threw a backward scratcher jumper on Pau Gasol's head.

Pau Gasol's defense was really not good, Duncan could only watch the opponent send the ball to the basket.

Pau Gasol was smacking the taste of playing with Duncan here, and when he got to the baseline, he was about to make another powerful long pass, but he saw Duncan come up and be the first to block his passing route.

The Spurs began to harass the Pelicans' pass, and Pau Gasol immediately sent the ball to Marshall's hands with a ground-hitting pass from the side.

Marshall controlled the ball and ran to the Pelicans' half, and then immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, he himself ran quickly and excitedly, moving to the side, and now the Pelicans have high morale, so these guys are like electric rabbits with enough electricity in the Spurs' half, full of vitality.

Li Feng also took the ball to force a breakthrough through Leonard, and when he came up, he destroyed the Spurs' defense, and the Spurs were sandwiching Li Feng.

Li Feng sent the basketball to Paul Gasol under the basket, Paul Gasol took the ball under the basket, dribbled his butt with both hands and pushed Duncan back, squeezed open a gap, and then raised his hand to make a feint, waiting for Duncan to lean in front of him. He thrust his ass again.

Pau Gasol hit Duncan twice with his butt back and forth, and there was half a step of space under the basket, and with such a large space, Pau Gasol stepped up and dunked with one hand.

"Bang dang!"

Pau Gasol hit a strong shot and dunked under the basket, and suddenly the New Orleans Arena really couldn't hold it.

The Pelicans played a fast-break dunk and a three-pointer, which is all tolerable, and now Pau Gasol is actually violently hitting the basket and dunking, which is already smashing the face of the Spurs.

And at this time, countless people remembered the name Pau Gasol in their hearts. This white power forward is not very tall, but he is really vigorous when he plays.

After Pau Gasol scored his own points, he also waved his fist and roared, and Li Feng hurriedly went over to high-five Pau Gasol to celebrate.

The Pelicans' momentum is rising wave after wave, starting with a fast break, and now they can play under the basket, Popovich is eyes on the sidelines, we are the old team being tortured by the other side, this situation is not right.

Popovich yelled on the sidelines. Cheering up his team, the Spurs were beaten by the Pelicans so continuously, and their eyes were red.

There is no longer the appearance of a light and indifferent person who just opened just now, and there is no longer a strong team. At this time, if the Spurs put up a shelf again, it is estimated that the Pelicans, a group of young wolf cubs, will have no bones left.

The old Spurs also ran desperately at this time, and Ginobili took the ball and began to fight with Corey alone.

Although Corey is not physically strong, the beast and Ginobili are tough. The two of them were also entangled in "ping pong", and Ginobili was also wild at this time.

Two steps collided and the ball was stopped suddenly. Then his shoulders bobbed from side to side, and when Corey hesitated slightly, he got up and threw a turnaround jumper.

Ginobili was still a little more experienced than Corey, and after scoring the goal, he ran back to his own half of the field satisfied.

The Spurs only have GDP, and there is really no need to worry too much about scoring points, Ginobili, Parker, and Duncan all have their own scoring characteristics, and they can all score points when they play.

However, at this time, the opponent the Spurs are facing, and the current Pelicans are also an unknown monster, because the Pelicans are new, and no one really understands what kind of team the Pelicans are.

The Spurs didn't understand, Li Feng took the ball from the backcourt and quickly pressed it into the Spurs' half.

At this position, Leonard hurriedly came out to pounce on Li Feng, but Li Feng savagely took the basketball from the right side directly to the Spurs' basket.

The Spurs' defense is chained, or systematic, and when one point is broken, the others immediately pounce.

When Li Feng stabbed all the way to the basket, the Spurs had already pounced on Li Feng with four people, and at this time, it was absolutely impossible for Li Feng to make a layup by himself, because there were arms on all sides.

But at this time, Li Feng did not make a layup by himself, but threw the basketball from the gap behind the rebound to Pau Gasol, who was standing at the free throw line.

Pau Gasol was open at this time, but he didn't shoot, but jumped to the basket with the ball, hit Duncan, and threw a high throw in front of Duncan.

Duncan opened his arms in the air, but he didn't stop Pau Gasol's attack, and the basketball thrown by Pau Gasol smashed high on the rebound, spun and fell right into the basket.

Pau Gasol actually scored Duncan's head twice, and suddenly the cry of the New Orleans arena was like a wave.

Barkley also shouted:

"Pau Gasol doesn't want a 36-year-old guy who not only scores, but also connects the team with passes."

The Spurs originally thought that they could suppress the gang of guys by suppressing the rhythm, but the rhythm dropped down, and the Pelicans and the gang were still playing vigorously, and they couldn't suppress the trend.

Technically, the Pelicans put two big men with mid-distance outside, which completely opened up the space, so that these guys have room to play, and the most important thing is that once the Spurs' defense is successful, Li Feng can also use his personal strength to help the team open the gap.

The Pelicans are not afraid to play the position now, there are many weapons on the position, and there are people who control the rhythm with the ball, which is unexpected by the Spurs, and the Pelicans have shortcomings. It's just that there are more mistakes, there are more passes, and there are more passes, and the details of defense can't be grasped.

But that's a problem that the guy can't avoid, and on top of that is the Pelicans' current exuberance and tenacious defense.

In this situation, the strong team of the previous season had no way to deal with these guys.

They are fast enough, and they also have their own skills in playing positions, and the two big men on the inside can score, and there is Li Feng on the outside.

In this case. The two teams collided violently, and the Pelicans maintained their advantage amid the cheers of the fans at the New Orleans arena.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans actually led the Spurs by five points at 24-19.

That kind of start was too good for the Pelicans, so when the first quarter ended, the New Orleans arena was cheering and cheering on their new team.

When Li Feng walked off the field, the reporters on the sidelines also hurriedly stopped Li Feng:

"Li Feng, tell me how you feel today. How does the new team feel. ”

"It's a wonderful feeling, playing with guys, I feel ten years younger, it's wonderful. It's too passionate, too. ”

Li Feng said that he was ten years younger, and suddenly the reporter laughed and said:

"Li Feng, you are not old now, you only need to have twenty years of career."

"Thank you. I hope so, too. ”

When the two teams entered the rest period, the Spurs side also returned to the bench, and once returned to the bench. The Spurs are a little out of breath, mainly because of the Pelicans' tactics, which are running wild both in the whole court and in the half, and this style of play makes these old men feel a little uncomfortable.

And today, the Pelicans are indeed playing passionately, can shoot suddenly, are fast in the whole court, and can play whoever gets the ball in the half, this style of team combat makes the Spurs very uncomfortable.

At this time, Popovich, who played as a common sense and a new Pelican, also frowned, the Pelicans have always been a very difficult team to deal with, but that kind of difficulty is to understand that it cannot be dealt with, and there is always an X factor to undermine Popovich's tactics, and now even understanding needs to be re-understood.

Why is Van Gundy so cunning now? This is a challenge to Popovich's basketball wisdom, and Popovich has been working hard for thousands of years in his heart for such a moment.

If he knew that the Pelicans were like this before the game, he would have ordered his team to suppress the opponent's momentum from the beginning, but now that everything is over, what can the Spurs do at this time?

can only maintain the rhythm and resilience, play the Spurs' steadyness, and wait for the opportunity to extinguish the opponent's fire.

So Popovich was shouting loudly to his old buddies at this time:

"Hey, don't be intimidated by these little guys, it's just a normal game for us, and the opener doesn't mean anything to us."

"Even if the Pelicans win us, they can boast that they won the strong team, but we won the Pelicans just for granted, so we have to at least give them a little bit of a taste now, let them know that they can't just go wild in front of us, and the guys are still a little bit better."

Popovich's words, while ridiculing the Pelicans, cheered up the Spurs, and also made the Pelicans, a group of veterans, slowly recover from the state of vacation.

At the beginning, the Pelicans changed a bench lineup, the point guard was replaced by Turner, the scoring guard was replaced by Granger, small forward Pierce, power forward Henson, and center Kelly.

Van Gundy's line-up is a bit unreasonable, as the gang are all unfamiliar players who have never played together before. I'm afraid this lineup is unstable.

On the Spurs' side, they left Ginobili behind, leaving four substitutes, but the Spurs' substitutes are mostly old men, point guard Danny Green, small forward Danny Green, although Dio is not an old man, and the Spurs are a bit old-fashioned, center Bonner.

The Spurs got an old man lineup and played with a bunch of loose sand from the Pelicans, and ended up on the court for 2 minutes.

The 5-point advantage that the Pelicans had previously recovered was brought back by the Spurs, and at this time Van Gundy reacted that he couldn't play like this, and immediately replaced Li Feng and Jefferson.

Coming back up after not sitting for two minutes off the court is a common thing for Li Feng, and it is no stranger to Al Jefferson, both of whom have moments of leading the team to move forward hard.

So at this time, on the field together, the two of them also knew each other and smiled bitterly.

At this point, Barkley said from the sidelines:

"Pelicans head coach Van Gundy had a problem with the lineup just now, and he should have left a team on the bench to support the field, in that situation. Li Feng, Jefferson, Pau Gasol can stabilize the situation on the court, he can keep Corey alone, but he didn't do it, it seems that Van Gundy is really making it difficult for himself. ”

Li Feng and Jefferson came back, and Jefferson immediately teed off on the sideline, and as soon as he kicked off, he passed the basketball to Li Feng, who was stuck in the main position on the sideline.

Behind Li Feng at this time is Danny Green, who is a good shooter. But if you want to defend Li Feng, his strength and physique are too bad.

Li Feng took the ball one step, two steps to push Danny Green near the penalty area, suddenly turned over and feint to raise Danny Green's hands, and then Li Feng squeezed away the opponent with his body and scored with an easy shot.

Li Feng hit Danny Green twice too easily, the advantage was obvious, and he got the score when he came back.

Spurs look at this side, this is not good, Popovich and Van Gundy are different. As soon as he saw that the opponent was losing control at a point, he couldn't bear it, and immediately replaced Joseph, who was good at defense, to defend against Li Feng.

The Spurs were deploying troops, and at the same time, Ginobili took the ball to the Pelicans' half court and pressed it to start organizing the offense.

Ginobili has the ability to lead the team to play alone. Ginobili is no stranger to this kind of organization.

He took advantage of the cover with the ball, directed his teammates to disperse, and then suddenly passed the ball to Mills, who was stuck near the baseline.

At this time, Millska took Turner and dribbled backwards two steps in a row. Suddenly, a rollover step back jumper.

Shooting at Turner's head, although Turner is strong, there is really nothing he can do about this kind of offense. You can only watch Mills score from mid-range.

The Spurs are old men, each with a unique skill, and they don't have any special abilities, and they can't defend against these people.

The Pelicans turned around and got the basketball, and Turner also immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, who took the ball to the Spurs' half court and immediately made a 45-degree block with Jefferson, and Jefferson turned back to card Dior.

Li Feng passed the basketball to Jefferson, Jefferson took the ball and hit Dio, when Dio squeezed Jefferson forward, Jefferson quickly turned around and wiped it under the basket, and easily scored two points with a hook hand.

Compared to Jefferson, the Dead Fat Man's defensive ability is also not enough to see, and he lacks a lot of things to deal with an interior line like Jefferson who has both skill and body.

The Pelicans came back with two main players and were able to score immediately, but the Pelicans still had problems defensively, many loopholes could not be plugged, and Van Gundy on the sidelines did not make arrangements, Li Feng was particularly depressed about Van Gundy's insensitivity, he felt that a head coach should be as agile as a mousetrap, but Van Gundy was as dull as a scalper.

Although Li Feng knew that Van Gundy was deliberate, the more he was like this, the more depressed he became, and it was obvious that Van Gundy was using the Spurs to run in the lineup, and today's starting Marshall was a proof of this.

At this time, Li Feng couldn't help it a little, and yelled at his teammates on his own:

"Pay attention to the defense, decisively wrap the clamp, let's run fast, there is no harm in moving more legs."

Li Feng was directing his teammates on the sidelines, and Van Gundy was listening clearly, but he didn't say anything, and smiled in his heart, Li Feng, you really couldn't help it.

The Spurs came over to attack again, as soon as Mills got the ball, Li Feng immediately went over to wrap up, Mills hurriedly turned around and passed the ball to Danny Green, Danny Green took the ball and saw that there was a passage in the opponent's interior line, and immediately came over and went straight to the inside line to break through.

Li Feng went out at this time to interfere with Danny Green, Danny Green's speed was slowed down a bit, and when it was time to shoot under the basket, Henson arrived.

Henson didn't play well these few minutes, he didn't play with Li Feng, there was no Pau Gasol to open up space on the side, and he didn't have a chance to show off just wrestling with a group of people on the inside.

Now seeing that Danny Green actually made a layup in front of him, Henson was angry and came up and slapped Danny Green's ball to the rebound.

The basketball smashed into the rebound, Henson got up and grabbed the rebound, turned around and passed it to Li Feng.

In the past, the Spurs couldn't run out of fast offense with a success rate, but now they have another chance on the defensive end.

The Pelicans' fast break came out all of a sudden, Li Feng took the ball and pressed Ginobili in the middle to run forward, Ginobili was almost pushed by Li Feng and ran to the Spurs' half, at this time Joseph came from behind to wrap Li Feng.

Joseph has a good reputation on the defensive end and is very capable defensively. But Li Feng was not afraid of him, and when he saw Joseph coming, Li Feng turned over and crushed Joseph behind him.

Li Feng crushed the Spurs alone, and Mills in the back hurriedly came over to steal Li Feng's ball.

As soon as Li Feng saw that the three Spurs were coming, he immediately threw the basketball to Turner on the outside, and Turner ran to the outside of the three-point line at this time.

Getting the ball in the open space, Turner didn't hesitate to throw a three-pointer, and Turner has been practicing three-pointers since the Pelicans were confirmed this summer, so he also has some confidence in his three-pointers, but at this time his three-point shot. But it's not very accurate.

You must know that many people are very accurate when they practice again, but they are not allowed on the court, which is related to the shooting posture, rhythm adjustment, mentality, if you want to shoot accurately, you need to practice more, and at the same time, you must find a rhythm that suits your shooting in the game, and now Turner has not found a rhythm. So although it was an empty seat, he was too frizzy to shoot.

As soon as the basketball shot, it deviated a lot, and the ball smashed onto the rebound at once, and Li Feng saw that this guy didn't score three points in the empty position.

He hurriedly fought over to grab the rebound. At this time, the weakness of the Spurs to reuse the elderly came out, and the three elderly people couldn't fight Li Feng for a single livestock.

Li Feng suddenly got stuck in position, jumped up and grabbed the rebound in the front court, just when Li Feng grabbed the rebound. He saw Henson running behind him, and Henson was running much faster than Dio and Scarbryan.

So Li Feng hurriedly turned around and passed the basketball to Henson, who cut up in the air, and Henson rarely encountered this kind of fast attack opportunity. Now once you get the basketball, you immediately throw off one arm and come up with a tomahawk heavy dunk.

"Bang dang!"

Henson smashed the basketball into the Spurs' basket in one fell swoop, and the Pelicans' fast break came again.

Henson's hand is not good, the basketball is a lot shorter as soon as he shoots, and he sees the basketball rebound back all of a sudden, Li Feng just ran to the basket, and under the basket, he saw Li Feng holding the basketball with one hand, his body seemed to be a crescent moon, bending an exaggerated amplitude, and then picking up one arm to put the basketball.

"Bang Dang"

Suddenly stuffed back into the basket, just now Henson blocked in an exaggerated way, and now Li Feng dunked in an exaggerated way.

At this time, what the Pelicans showed was not only fighting spirit, but also extreme talent, as soon as the ball came out, the fans of the New Orleans arena were so hot in their hearts, how long had they not performed like this.

At this time, the Pelicans showed enthusiasm and talent, even if it was a visual feast for them, their efforts were like a grassroots team, and they did not lose their fighting spirit because of winning the championship.

So at this time, the fans of the New Orleans arena are cheering, and their hearts are preserved with infinite heat.

Popovich defended the Pelicans from gaining momentum, and now the Pelicans are still building up momentum with their extraordinary talent.

At this time, after Li Feng dunked, he immediately came over to high-five Henson and high-five Turner.

Henson played two good balls in a row at this time, and he was already as vigorous as playing hormones, and at this time, he saw that Henson's skin color had changed, and his eyes were blood-red.

The Pelicans were in a state of euphoria again, and Popovich was on the side with another main force on the side, and he replaced Parker.

Popovich thought it was time to control the tempo, so he went up point guard, and at this point, Van Gundy was in the starting line, and he brought in Marshall and Corey to keep Henson, who was playing well.

The Spurs were continuously attacked by the Pelicans, and at this time, they began to deliberately seek stability when they came to play the Spurs again.

When the time was almost 20 seconds, Parker suddenly broke through the middle, and then stealthily returned to pass the basketball to Duncan, who was standing in the middle distance.

Duncan picked up the mid-range shot, hit it steadily, and finally scored two more points for the Spurs.

Pau Gasol is very demonic this year, but Duncan is not bad, in fact, there are few players in the No. 21 rookie who can be as strong as him, and he has been strong for so long, some players such as Wade can be hard for a few years, but after a few years it will be soft, and he can't be hard if he wants to, although Duncan is not too hard, but he has never been soft, one is very sufficient...... (To be continued......)
