Chapter 701: Stronger than Jordan

On the Pelicans' side, because of the lead, they did not change to the main team, and continued to play on the bench. But at this time, the Pelicans also encountered some problems.

When the Pelicans played the Trail Blazers before, the offense was smooth, and the main fact was that the Trail Blazers' defense was too poor, although two players were replaced at this time. But the Trail Blazers switched positions, Aldridge contained Brand's outside strategy, and Lillard held the key position of point guard.

So the Pelicans didn't fight again, and in the end it was Brewer who came out to force a breakthrough, but this kid was not a breakthrough, and he made a mistake when he came up to break through.

Just when the Pelicans made a mistake, the Trail Blazers immediately won the basketball and quickly passed it to Lillard.

Lillard takes the ball and moves forward quickly, a good point guard, the most dangerous moment, is when he runs fast with the ball, there is enough space to make a good point guard almost anything.

When Thornton chased Lillard from behind at this time, Lillard was in front of Thornton and suddenly pushed the basketball forward, almost in front of Thornton, when Thornton reached out to break the ball. Lillard twisted his body and knocked Thornton past him in one fell swoop.

After passing Thornton, Lillard watched Brewer behind him catch up quickly, he suddenly turned around, and suddenly resisted Brewer behind him, and then Lillard turned around and picked up a basket with his left hand, and the basketball obediently fell into the Pelicans' basket.

Lillard's two flashy goals in a row finally pulled the Trail Blazers back from the disadvantage just now.

At this time, every goal Lillard scored on the court was extremely handsome! It's all an offensive opportunity with a lot of shaking and feints in a row.

This style of play is extremely gorgeous, and Li Feng himself is familiar with it, and the same is true when he attacks, using a lot of shaking and feints to attack.

Lillard made two consecutive offenses to hold off the Pelicans' offense, and Van Gundy wasn't in a hurry at this time. He held the strength of the team stronger than the opponent, and at this time he did not let Li Feng get up to warm up, but let El Jefferson on the side get up and prepare to warm up.

The Pelicans' guard was played by Lillard all over again, and when the Pelicans played again, Oladipo was also unhappy.

I can't play you with the ball, but I'm stronger than you, so Oladipo came over and forced his back to Leillard's body to drain Lillard's strength.

Lillard is excellent! Repeating this sentence again, this guy is fast, has good skills, and is not bad in strength.

Oladipo, who wasn't a full-fledged point guard in the first place, looks like he's a little stronger than Lillard. But it didn't take advantage of it. Halfway through the collision, Oladipo turned around and made a jumper, Lillard came up to harass steadily, and the Pelicans' offense missed again.

Lillard defended again, then Miles Leonard protected the rebound in the backcourt, and then immediately passed the ball to Lillard again.

Lillard got the ball for the third time, and this time he chased after Oladipo for the third time amid the cries of his teammates.

Oladipo was also a little depressed at this time, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he shouted:

"Help me look behind!"

At Oladipo's roar, Brand hurriedly appeared in the direction behind Oladipo, ready to intercept Lillard at any time. Oladipo's eyes swept Brand's in place, and he immediately stepped forward. Resist Lillard and don't give Lillard space first.

Lillard saw the opposing duo's defense, and instead of panicking or trying to retreat, he suddenly stabbed between Brand and Oladipo when Oladipo stepped forward.

It was a forced breakthrough. Lillard fell into the Pelicans' defensive trap.

Brand and Oladipo started out with a big bang and came up to wrap up, but on Lillard's side. He held the ball very low and shook it in front of Brand, butt against Oladipo in the back, and then suddenly spat the basketball out with one hand.

Then I watched the basketball go low under Brand's crotch, and at the same time, Lillard tilted his body and drilled past Brand.

Lillard actually divided the ball in the Pelicans' dense defense, at this time, seeing Lillard come up, when the Pelicans' defense was a little messy, Lillard passed the ball to Wright on the baseline, Wright took the ball and shot the middle distance completely empty, and the basketball went in!

Lillard shocked the audience for the third time! This feeling of being alone with a basketball and fighting in and out of the middle of the opposing team is simply too good, and Lillard hit the third ball.

The Trail Blazers' bench was completely overwhelmed, and all the Trail Blazers benches exclaimed, everyone waving white towels.

The rest of the Trail Blazers also ran over to high-five and celebrate with Lillard.

Lillard returned to the court alone and helped the team score six points in a row, shortening the score all of a sudden, not to mention, but also changing the aura of the two teams before.

The Trail Blazers used to be beaten, but now Lillard's return has changed the atmosphere on the court.

This ability to score points at any time and change the atmosphere of the stadium at any time is undoubtedly the potential of a superstar.

The Pelicans were beaten by the Trail Blazers, but Van Gundy still stubbornly did not play Li Feng, but replaced Al Jefferson first.

Al Jefferson not only has defensive ability but also offensive ability, especially in the offensive attack Al Jefferson This heavy artillery is still very useful, so Van Gundy believes that as long as the team's offensive problem is solved now, Li Feng is not indispensable.

The team must get rid of the dependence on Li Feng at a certain time, which is a transformation that a mature team must complete.

The Blazers hit three balls, but Li Feng still didn't come back! At this time, even Antoine Walker couldn't help but exclaim:

"The pelicans are a little too big! In this case, it's not Li Feng, don't they look down on Lillard! ”

Antoine Walker's complaint is a bit blunt, as many of the Trail Blazers players think, but Hubie Brown said at this point:

"It's not that the Pelicans look down on the Trail Blazers, this time period is that any team meets the Pelicans, and the Pelicans will almost play like this!"

"You must know that now the Pelicans' goal this year is to win the championship, and in the playoffs, especially in the Finals, there must be higher requirements for the overall strength of the team. It's time to come. It is necessary to prevent Li Feng from feeling bad, or Li Feng being cut off, such as the Cavaliers being swept in 07, in this case, the team must be able to open! So now the Pelicans are just training and have nothing to do with Lillard. ”

Hubie Brown saw Van Gundy's heart, but Lillard didn't think so, and Lillard and Antoine Walker thought very similarly. He was very angry at the Pelicans for not changing Li Feng, which was disrespectful to him.

Lillard is a haughty man who hates it. So when he got on the field, he immediately commanded his teammates to defend desperately.

The Trail Blazers' defensive intensity is extremely high at this time. However, after the Pelicans replaced Al Jefferson at this time, they formed an excellent combination on the inside.

Brand has mid-range shots, Al Jefferson can cut into the low post, and has mid-range.

The combination of these two people is actually the best interior combination for the Pelicans, both inside and out, and the space for Al Jefferson to cut into the basket is easy to pull away.

Although the Trail Blazers used their defensive life at this time, they still couldn't stop the Pelicans' pair of interior lines, especially the 2.16-meter-tall Miles Leonard couldn't resist Al Jefferson's huge body.

With the space completely stretched, Al Jefferson took the ball and suddenly swiped it towards the Trail Blazers' basket. Easily cut two points.

Lillard also didn't expect his team's interior line to be torn apart so lightly, which made Lillard even more angry, it turned out that the Pelicans thought that with Al Jefferson they could resist themselves, they didn't need Li Feng at all.

Lillard was completely overthinking. This time he got the basketball from the backcourt, and on the surface it seemed to be extremely calmly advancing.

But there is a lot of anger inside, and as a point guard, Lillard is sensible even when he is angry.

He's not going to be reckless and slamming like Westbrook. In this situation, Lillard still called a high cover when Aldridge came out of the interior and stood in front of Lillard.

Lillard bared his fangs, and suddenly a quick change of direction slipped in front of Aldridge. Brand, who was following behind, did not react at all, and Oladipo was also blocked.

Al Jefferson, who was inside the line, hurriedly strode out to defend, but at such a small distance, in the eyes of the Pelicans. Lillard still had a very low center of gravity and made a shaky motion with a very small amplitude.

I saw Lillard's body twist sharply to the left, and when Al Jefferson moved to the left, Lillard immediately brought the basketball over and flashed in front of Al Jefferson.

In order to chase Lillard, Al Jefferson didn't keep up with the one under his feet, and was actually shaken down by Lillard.

Al Jefferson went to the ground with a bang, but Lillard made a light layup. Lillard walked through several people like a monkey by himself, and finally scored two points with ease.

This kind of performance suddenly made the atmosphere of the stadium different. In his own way, Lillard showed his kingly spirit.

When Lillard scored, the Trail Blazers were also in an even bigger frenzy.

At the same time, the New Orleans Arena also had to be quiet for a moment, Lillard used dance-like movements one after another, penetrating the Pelicans' defense and scoring points lightly, which shook the entire New Orleans Arena at once, such Lillard is a tremor in the heart.

He's not a slam dunk or a sharp long-range shot, but he's dancing in your formation like a bee.

This lightness is as shocking, and although this power is not manifested, it is just as terrifying.

Hubie Brown was also silent for a long time at this time, and after a long time, he said:

"Lillard is the most perfect offensive point guard I've ever seen since Isaiah Thomas, a player who was born to control basketball and is more balanced than Chris Paul."

Antoine Walker nodded on the side:

"Yes! It's just a show of his own. The court has become a stage for his dance, and everyone else is just a backup dancer with him, and this ability to use the court as a stage is simply unimaginable. ”

Lillard shook the entire court, reporters shouted at the scene, and reporters from New Orleans were even more delighted.

Lillard played the game like this, the morale of the Trail Blazers surged out, and Stotts hurriedly replaced the main player.

Stotts was ready to use this wave to kill the pelicans to the point of cripplement. Such a situation has arisen.

Van Gundy naturally couldn't continue to wait and continue to train, and Van Gundy was also busy changing Li Feng to the court at this time.

Li Feng's side finally played, and Lillard and the Trail Blazers finally felt mentally balanced.

As soon as Li Feng came out, the momentum of the Pelicans immediately changed slightly, and Li Feng lowered the scorching temperature in the court by three points.

Li Feng was standing on the sidelines at this time, looking at the court with gentle eyes, Li Feng's eyes seemed to have killing and only wisdom.

At the end of the timeout, the Pelicans resumed their offense, and now the Pelicans are being chased and beaten in the ass, just waiting for Li Feng to come up and put out the fire! So the basketball first came to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng came up with the ball. did not rush and fight like the thunderbolt and fire that people imagined, but he was willing to do coolies, go up to block his teammates first, and then quickly go down to the basket.

Oladipo saw that Li Feng went down, he immediately passed the ball quickly and stuffed the basketball in, Li Feng's center of gravity was low, he reached out and grabbed the basketball, the moment the Trail Blazers' defense began to shrink intentionally or unintentionally, at this time Li Feng took the ball and did not squeeze Batum behind him strongly, but took the ball and turned to the other side.

The defense of the Trailblazers was also completely attracted by Li Feng, but at this time, Li Feng suddenly threw the basketball behind him.

Li Feng made a complete pass to his back. Behind Li Feng, Brand happened to appear in this position.

After Brand got the ball, he got up and made a mid-range shot, but the Trail Blazers didn't expect that Li Feng could still see people behind him.

"Huh!"

Brand's mid-range shot landed in the basket. The pelican's condition is still the same.

Li Feng came back not to help the team with his own scores, but to start playing from the coolies, starting from helping his teammates cover, and then attracting attention to passing. It's a completely unpretentious style of play, which is completely different from Lillard's style of play.

Lillard turned around, thinking that Li Feng was also going to have a convulsion. But I didn't expect Li Feng to play in such a simple way.

Lillard also understood what Li Feng meant, Li Feng didn't want to be vindictive at all, he just wanted to use his actual actions to help his teammates score and make the whole team run more perfectly, which is actually a concept that Lillard has always had.

Lillard has a lot of destructive power, but when he plays, Lillard rarely shows these things, he is more of an organizer to help the team. The team concept is also a philosophy that Lillard is pursuing.

So after Li Feng passed the ball like this, he just took a deep look at Li Feng, and then immediately rushed over to get the basketball and rushed towards the Pelicans' half court.

Li Feng's almost "honest and honest" expression when he returned to the court won Hubi Brown's surprising praise:

"Li Feng's ball just now is simply amazing! Why? Because Li Feng not only helped his teammates, but also did not occupy a lot of the ball, the game was not launched from his hands, but in an overall link. ”

In the attack just now, Li Feng not only highlighted his ability, but also did not destroy the overall balance of the team. This is very difficult to do, Li Feng is the real leader, he can help the team at any time and in any way, and he is better than Michael Jordan! ”

Hubi Brown has a good evaluation of Li Feng, but Antoine Walker still has a lot of fans who don't think so.

Li Feng's game just now was not brilliant at all, there were no beautiful steps, and there was no beautiful shot, it was just a cover, he got the ball without the ball and turned around and dribbled and passed the ball in one step, which was not ornamental at all.

Lillard came over this time, but also reined in the edge just now, and began to organize the offense in earnest, and this time the Trail Blazers played a tactic of pulling away the sides.

All the players pulled up to either side of the three-point line, opening up the middle, and Lillard, covered by his teammates, quickly drilled in with the ball.

Lillard had that kind of performance before, and at this time, no one dared to reach out to Lillard lightly.

Lillard came up, also passed through the Pelicans' defensive formation like a fish, and then suddenly passed the ball to Aldridge at the top of the arc.

Aldridge quietly found such a gap, and when he took the ball and wanted to shoot, Li Feng quickly chased in front of Aldridge.

Aldridge was going to shoot before, but when he saw a player with a small size like Li Feng, he pounced.

He immediately put away the idea of shooting, came up and forcibly cut in a step, trying to knock Li Feng away.

However, Li Feng did not move on the ground like a nail, and Aldridge did not reach his goal of moving into the penalty area at all. At this time, when Aldridge turned around depressedly and was about to continue to exert his strength, Li Feng accurately clicked on the basketball below.

The basketball smashed into Aldridge's foot and then rolled into Brewer's hand, and the Pelicans finished defending the Trail Blazers.

The last time Li Feng made a stake, this time Li Feng still made a stake, and survived twice, Li Feng helped the team.

Li Feng is also so tough on the defensive end, and this table is very clear for Lillard to see. Li Feng helps the team in a variety of ways, and it is definitely not only useful offensively, but also on defense, Li Feng is also the most powerful link of the Pelicans. (To be continued......)
