Now it's only the second quarter, Van Gundy is going to take the Cavaliers away and hit the opponent hard, it can be seen that Van Gundy also attaches great importance to today's game, he wants to win, win early, leave no trouble, and kill the opponent directly, this determination and courage is very great, but Li Feng likes Van Gundy's idea, the Pelicans played so well in the first quarter, why not take the other party away in this wave, it is not normal not to do so.

Li Feng immediately nodded excitedly, and with Li Feng's support, Van Gundy immediately went back and said to everyone:

"Boys, we did a good job in the first quarter, even I have to admit it, we played a good game, but now I give you an order, I order you to continue this good state until we beat the Cavaliers, we are going to take the Cavaliers away in the first half, take away this Eastern powerhouse, and let everyone see that we are the real powerhouses, so that even if they rely on the referees to enter the Finals in the playoffs, it will only be our defeat."

"Wow!"

As soon as Van Gundy said this, the Pelicans, a group of newborn calves, were immediately excited, this kind of thing young people will like, there is no young man who does not like this kind of crazy attack.

While Van Gundy was plotting to take the other side away in waves, the Cavaliers were at a stalemate.

David Blatter originally wanted James to continue the meat and egg tactics on the sidelines, that is, to let James throw himself under the opponent's basket to cheat for fouls or scores, David Blatter wanted to slash James, and James said that he would not execute this mentions.

James and Wade used to be good friends and brothers, he knows what Wade is in now, he doesn't want to be a second Wade, and James also believes that his style of play is different from Wade, and this style of play is not a long-term solution, so James rejected David Blatter's suggestion, and at the same time James proposed that Matthew Dellavedova should be given some time. Matthew Dellavedova was originally James' little brother, and the two had a close relationship, and Matthew Dellavedova's style of play was indeed complementary to James, so at this time he asked to give Matthew Dellavedova a chance.

The sadness of David Blatter as a head coach is that he can't command the team according to his own heart, in everyone's hearts, he is not as heavy as James, so he can't show all his abilities, and more importantly, there has been a gap between David Blatter and James this season, and there has also been a gap between James and management.

The knight's heart is uneven. The coach and the star can't think of each other, and the poor management and the star can't get along, in this case, this year's Cavaliers seem to be missing something, and now James is still unwilling to cooperate with David Blatter, David Blatter can only sigh to himself, he is also a victim between the management and the players.

The two teams have completely different mentalities, one with a lot of gaps and the other with a lot of blood. Charles Barkley, who was in the commentary seat at this time, also said:

"This season's Cavaliers didn't play as well as last season, especially James, who seems to have lost his passion for the Cavaliers this season."

Kenny Smith said on the side at this time:

"He hasn't found his Pippen and Rodman yet, and now he's probably in a bit of a hurry. Especially now that he hasn't renewed his contract with the team, the team doesn't know what to do. ”

"If James renews his contract early, the team will spare no effort to curry favor with James and find new helpers for him. If James refused, the Cavaliers would have other plans, but now James has nothing to say. That's the problem with the Cavaliers, after all, James has already come back once. ”

"No, no, no, I don't think the problem is whether James renews his contract or not, now the team is eager to keep James, then they should find the right helper before James renews his contract, instead of waiting for James to renew his contract before looking for helper, they confused the order, the management of the Cavaliers lacks skill, if it was the Bass family, they would have done it a long time ago, but the management of the Cavaliers can't."

While Barkley was arguing with Kenny Smith, the second quarter began.

At this time, when the second quarter came back, the Pelicans replaced Li Feng first, so that the Pelicans' lineup became a very fierce point guard Turner, scoring guard Pierce, small forward Pierce, power forward Kelly, and center Henson.

Now Van Gundy has confirmed that Pau Gasol is the most suitable starting center for the Pelicans, but at the same time he is reluctant to Henson's talent, in the bench lineup, Van Gundy still left Henson enough time to perform, as long as Henson himself is not brainless and wants to attack with the ball, he will give the other party a chance, if Henson insists on performing his steps, Van Gundy will immediately replace him.

The bench lineup on the Cavaliers' side is point guard Irving, scoring guard Matthew Dlavedova, small forward Mike Miller, power forward Vallejo, and center Mozgov.

Is this bench lineup of the Cavaliers strong? It's just a mediocre level, and the boss of this lineup of knights still thinks that he has done his best to find a helper for James, and James is a betrayer.

The opening was the Cavaliers' ball, and the Cavaliers opened the game as simple as ever, not complicated, Mike Miller used the cover of his teammates, went around the double cover on the bottom line, and took the ball and shot directly from a distance.

As a result, the Pelicans are not slacking off at this time, and the Pelicans and the others are holding their strength to play a wave at this time, how can they give the Cavaliers a chance to score lightly, so the Pelicans immediately pounced, and suddenly interfered with the Knights' shots.

Mike Miller missed the opening shot, and the Pelicans' defensive intensity at the beginning also came out.

David Blatter secretly screamed that it was not good, if he continued to play like this, I was afraid that his team would be finished, Charles Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, also said:

"The Pelicans opened the second quarter with such a lot of defensive intensity, and they left Li Feng on the court, what do they want to do?"

Do? The Pelicans' thoughts were Sima Zhao's heart, so David Blatter immediately turned around and yelled at the players, defend, defend.

The Cavaliers lineup is average, relying on James alone, how did they become a strong team in the East, it is because of defense, so once it is not smooth on the offensive end. The knights immediately strengthened their defense on the side.

The Cavaliers' defense is different from the Pelicans, and it is also different from the Heat, the Heat is brave, the Pelicans are dense and orderly, and the Cavaliers' defense is more inclined to the resilient old Spurs, and the Pelicans also encountered strong defensive pressure when they arrived at the opponent's half.

In the face of this pressure, Turner had no choice, and he was now more and more inclined to shoot three-pointers from distance, and passed the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng took the ball but did not retreat. He could only fight hard with the other party, against the opponent's two defenders, Li Feng finally got to the vicinity of the penalty area, and swept away, but he happened to see Kelly, a kid who didn't know when he secretly ran behind him, Li Feng hurriedly passed the ball behind his head, and the basketball was still outside the three-point line.

Kelly took the ball outside the three-point line, but it was a cool vacancy, and Kelly took the ball and shot directly.

"Huh."

Back in the second quarter, the Cavaliers still can't do it. The Pelicans came up with another three-pointer while the iron was hot, so that the Pelicans were 37-22, leading the Cavaliers by 15 points.

Although it is only the second quarter, this pit is not small. David Blatter was in a hurry when he saw it on the side, and he turned around and immediately asked James to warm up and prepare to play, now is not the time to wait.

The team was pulled away so much. Owen is also a little anxious, if a good team wants to really prevent Owen is relatively easy, Owen still belongs to the kind of convulsive player who prefers the sixth man. And he, like all the convulsions, has a not-so-good shot selection, and a scoring pattern that relies on his touch.

At this point, he opted for a personal attack, and he immediately rushed over to dribble under his crotch regardless of it, and then suddenly took a step to the left and pulled it up and threw a mid-range.

It makes no sense for Owen to single out Turner in this way, but now is not the time for the Cavaliers to discuss reasoning, this guy shot as soon as he shot, and Owen finally made a contribution to the Cavaliers.

Irving scored, and before David Blatter could relax a little, he saw the Pelicans bite the Cavaliers' ass and catch up again.

The Pelicans' rhythm of biting the opponent's ass is really uncomfortable, but fortunately, at this time Pau Gasol rested, and the Pelicans lost their heavy weapons to attack the interior, and they could only float outside to attack in the Cavaliers' half.

The Cavaliers' defense is also very strong, desperately pushing Li Feng outside on the defensive end, at this time Li Feng retreated backwards, but found that Henson finally played his advantages, when the Cavaliers were pushing out, he quickly cut towards the inside line of the Cavaliers, Li Feng took the basketball back, Henson took a big step and threw off the old Mozgov, Mozgov is too slow now, there is no young player's footsteps and bounce at all, he can only watch the opponent slam the basketball into his own basket with a two-handed slam dunk.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pelicans didn't give the Cavaliers a chance at all, and they came up with three-point long-range shots and aerial relays, and the Cavaliers were a little dizzy.

David Blatter and James couldn't stand it anymore, and when it was just over 1 minute into the second quarter, David Blatter immediately replaced Mike Miller and replaced James.

The Cavaliers really can't play without James.

James returned to the court and immediately got the basketball from the sideline, at this time James was very clear, now the team lacks offense, the easiest way to attack, is his own personal singles, so James pulled away immediately after getting the ball, and then called Mozgov's cover, James circled Mozgov, flashing left and right continuously, so that the opponent could not find a chance to defend, when Henson hesitated a little, James came up from the cover and made a mid-range jumper, James came back and finally got two points.

However, the situation of the Cavaliers at this time is still extremely dangerous, because just after James scored, the Pelicans' pursuit came up like a wolf.

The Pelicans' speed was too fast and too cold-blooded, they chased after the Cavaliers, caught up and immediately attacked, Li Feng took the ball to the side and pulled the pass to Kelly, who cut up in the air, Kelly rushed up bravely and immediately made a foul on the Cavaliers.

The pelican is really as fierce as a wolf at this time, and wants to tear the knight to death, not giving them any chance.

The Pelicans beat the Cavaliers to the ground in such a short time, and the Cavaliers have lost face from the beginning to the present.

James also felt the crisis of Yan zhòng at this time, the knights can lose today, but they can't lose so miserably.

This kind of result is something James is unwilling to accept, so although James doesn't like the Cavaliers to play him alone, but now he still has to pull the Cavaliers up and not let the whole team lose too much face.

Kelly made one of two free throws from the free-throw line and the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 14 points at 40-26.

The game got to this point, and James came over and immediately started to get the ball in the backcourt. James got the basketball in the backcourt at this time, and it was seen that the rhythm of James's body was a beat faster than before.

Obviously, he could feel that James was starting to exert his strength, Li Feng looked at this situation and understood that the time had come to distinguish the winner and loser, at this time, if James was allowed to turn over, the knight would still have a chance, and if he suppressed James, the knight would basically die.

So Li Feng immediately shouted on the side:

"Bag clips, give them bag clips."

In Li Feng's voice, the two Pelicans players went out to frantically wrap James, James is the kind of player with a wide vision, and he saw that the bag was coming. He immediately passed the ball to Mozgov, who came out.

Mozgov took the ball outside a little over, James immediately ran over quickly empty-handed and got the basketball, at this time the Pelicans were still too late to wrap the bag, James deflected, and an acceleration rushed up to the basket.

Li Feng delayed James in the past, but James immediately threw the ball with both hands and screamed when Li Feng flew over.

Li Feng's actions are indeed a little suspicious of fouls, and now a player as a big name like James is screaming. It was home again, and the referee could only give Li Feng a foul, and James actually scored two points by cheating the foul.

Li Feng felt that James was a bit of a scoundrel, but intellectually speaking. This is indeed the best way to score, forcing a layup may not be able to hit, shooting is trapped in the shooting percentage, and cheating fouls can kill the opponent. He can also get two points steadily, so cheating fouls is a good skill to score points.

James hit both free throws from the free-throw line, and now James is starting to score smarter.

Just after the Cavaliers scored. The Pelicans still advanced very quickly, and Knight came over and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng took the ball and saw that the person defending himself became James, and this time the two people were directly opposed, in fact, it is inevitable to think about it, now the two players on the outside of the Cavaliers are very short, and only James can defend Li Feng.

James was defending very seriously in the face of Li Feng at this time, with a high degree of concentration, and the moment Li Feng got the ball, James immediately came down to harass.

Li Feng hurriedly put the basketball back, and then quickly "snapped" behind his back. When he dribbled twice, and when the fans behind him confused the other party, Li Feng was suddenly pushed by the basketball from under the crotch, from behind to the front of the body, and then Li Feng suddenly broke through to the right side.

Li Feng uses fancy back-dribbling to play with James, not that Li Feng wants to show his ball-handling skills, but that Li Feng knows that resisting James is not the best way, and it is better to use skills, just like James cheated on himself, Li Feng also has to use a more efficient way to fight against the opponent.

Sure enough, Li Fengtong's fancy possession of the ball, and sure enough, he took the lead of half a step, and it was already a big enough advantage to have this half-step lead in the confrontation between Li Feng and James.

Li Feng's throw smashed into the rebound, and then easily fell into the basket, Li Feng and James each hit each other.

This kind of king-to-king contest made everyone start to get excited, and at the scene of the Quick Loan Center, the Cleveland fan crowd stood up to cheer for James.

"James, James, James."

The Quick Loan Center was full of fans chanting James's name, while Barkley and Kenny Smith were also caught in the highs. Tide.

"Is it going to be the king of the court today, Li Feng and James are directly opposed, this is really exciting."

Kenny Smith was clearly excited on the side.

At this time, Charles Barkley was also very excited:

"This confrontation between Li Feng and James is destined to be full of passion and grudges, and fans of the two will definitely use this as a blueprint for discussion."

Everyone is looking at the stadium with hot eyes on the American side, and it's the same on the domestic side.

Xu Jicheng is also very excited in the domestic broadcast studio:

"The confrontation between Li Feng and James, this is definitely one of the matchups that fans want to see the most, these two people are rare to fight, although they can't completely decide the team's victory, but it has a huge impact on the team's morale, so Li Feng can't lose at this time."

On the Internet, enthusiastic fans on forums also put all their attention into the game.

As soon as the duel between Li Feng and James began, the two each scored a goal. At this point, the Cavaliers advanced again from the backfield.

James began to get the ball in the backcourt, and before he reached the Pelicans' half, he saw that the Cavaliers' players had pulled all four corners apart.

When the knight arrives at this juncture, he still has to use the simplest and most practical way to fight the pelican.

James took the ball up, Mozgov immediately raised it again as a cover in the high position, at this time Mozgov's experience came into play, Mozgov just saw an opportunity when he moved, he could get stuck with Li Feng and Henson, and encountered this kind of opportunity. Mozgov immediately stretched out his arms, and all of a sudden, he was blocked behind by Li Feng and Henson with a suspected move cover.

encountered this kind of good opportunity, James naturally would not let it go, only to see James kill directly from the middle, dodge Kelly who rushed in the air, and then changed hands to make a layup to score two points.

James scored four consecutive points, and the call for the quick loan center began to rise.

In the call of the quick loan center, Li Feng also felt the fierce fighting spirit, and James was indeed a good opponent.

Just after the Cavaliers scored. The Pelicans immediately chased after him from behind, and James chased Li Feng to defend.

Li Feng shouted at his teammates while running towards the opponent's half:

"Give me cover, give me full cover."

Li Feng was shouting for cover. Henson and Kelly immediately set up a double cover for Li Feng in the high position, and Li Feng used the double cover while writhing quickly in the process, and Li Feng walked through the crowd like a snake.

Li Feng's flexibility is incomparable to James. James is strong in everything, but he is slightly worse in terms of flexibility, and Li Feng drills through the cracks. He had no way to defend, seeing that Li Feng went to the other side and received the basketball, Li Feng rushed up with the ball and looked like he was about to threaten the basket.

At this time, Valejo had to use a foul on Li Feng, Vallejo was not light, and Li Feng swayed directly, but in this case, Li Feng could still smash the basketball to the rebound with one hand, and then the basketball rebounded to the Cavaliers' basket.

Li Feng faced the opponent's defense and created a 2+1, just at the moment when Li Feng scored.

Charles Barkley also exclaimed:

"Oh, this guy feels great."

"I really don't know what to stop him."

Kenny Smith agreed.

James just changed hands in the middle and broke through, and now Li Feng will come back immediately to play a 2+1, and the two of them are really needle-to-point.

At the free throw line, Li Feng was also not soft and easily scored a point.

Since then, it has been the turn of the Cavaliers to attack, at this time Li Feng and James seem to be playing hot, the scene is very beautiful, but there is actually a great risk hidden in this, at this time, once the team suddenly loses power, it is easy to finish, once the Pelicans lose power, they may catch up with the other party, and the morale will suffer a heavy blow, the Cavaliers can not cut off the power, once they lose power, they may be pulled away by the Pelicans farther, and it will be more difficult to catch up at that time, and even suffer a devastating blow to morale.

James also knows the danger of this stalemate, but he can't stop it, because he can't stop, and when it comes to this dangerous moment, the only thing the knight can rely on is himself, and James understands this.

So when it came to the Pelicans' half, although he knew that there must be 10,000 knives under the Pelicans' basket, and all of them were traps, he still had to take the ball and rush towards the Pelicans' basket.

James is so impactful, the Pelicans only have full force to pack, James has experience in dealing with this kind of scene, and when he encounters the pack, he immediately turns back and passes to Matthew Dellavedova.

Matthew Dellavedova is still short in stature, his athleticism is not outstanding, and his organizational skills are average, this kind of guard is generally difficult to get ahead, but Matthew Dellavedova is as good, that is, three-point accuracy, especially fixed-point three-point, which is right with James, when James breaks through, what is most needed is this kind of accurate fixed-point three-point shot, so a player, you can have all kinds of shortcomings, but there must be a trick that can make the coach or teammates clearly identify with you on the one hand, Matthew Dellavedova was great on the three-pointer.

At this time, he got James's pass, and immediately got up with a quick three-point shot. (To be continued......)
