Chapter 882: I Can't afford to lose
At this time, Randolph almost shook his teeth and said to Li Feng:
"Li Feng, I will definitely not give it a chance next time."
"Zach, I'll wait."
Li Feng looked at Randolph with a mocking, and at this time, Van Gundy and Robert Pera walked back together, and then walked into the media hall with his disciple.
Today's media conference is a bit special, not the two teams held separately, but together, that is, the Grizzlies and Pelicans sit together, and then the reporter asked, this request was made by T.N.T, and it was attached to the back of the game broadcast, which is obviously that T.N.T found the hostile atmosphere between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans, and created a second battlefield for each other to attract attention for the fifth game.
I really have to admire the vision of T.N.T, just now the Pelicans and the Grizzlies were splashing around behind the media hall, and they all had to fight in front of them.
As soon as the Pelicans and Grizzlies sat in front, they immediately raised countless hands below, after all, today's game was really full of anger, the strength of the Grizzlies in front, and then the Pelicans' counterattack, the Pelicans' losing streak in the middle, and the Pelicans counterattacked and reversed in the back.
The whole game was like a movie, like an American blockbuster, the peaks and loops were twisting and turning, and people were still unsatisfied, and the reporters were also attracted by this kind of competition, so their hands were raised at the same time.
The press officer seemed to be a little casual, and then stood up in the group of reporters, this was the bright and far-reaching Erin Andrews, and as soon as she stood up and asked the first question, it made the reporters below and his colleagues whisper.
"May I ask you, Grizzlies head coach Mr. Robert Pera, what do you think of the final outcome of this game, and how do you think your team will play in the final two minutes?"
It's digging into the heart of a grizzly bear, it's getting Robert Pera to relive that black two minutes again.
As soon as this was asked, even though Erin Andrews was a beautiful female reporter, the local reporter in Memphis still stared at Erin Andrews with unkind eyes. Many people looked at this beautiful reporter with angry faces.
Apparently Robert Pera himself was embarrassed to glance at Randolph and Prince, who were sitting beside him, before he said hypocritically:
"The result of this game was a surprise, and I was surprised by all the results, but it was too hard for the Grizzlies, so there is no way back for our team, so we will definitely try to win the next game."
"As for the last two minutes, my players, I think they did their duty very well, they did their best, they did their best."
Robert Pera said this to divert attention. The reporter's attention was shifted to the next game, so the next time the press officer called the reporter, he specifically called a local Memphis reporter he was familiar with.
But he thought that the local reporter was also angry fans, and he said honestly and unceremoniously as soon as he opened his mouth:
"May I ask Mr. Prince, why did you choose to flip back on that final pass, why didn't you follow Oladipo before he made a move, you were there in those two crucial moments."
Prince also saw that this was a local Memphis fan who came to ask for the guilt, and these two questions also made Prince very uncomfortable in his heart, why he was the first to fire at the Pelicans in the media hall just now. Part of it was because he blamed himself.
In the next two shots, he did make a mistake, and the team had a big reason because it was planted in his own hands, and Prince lowered his head at this time. Then he said in an extremely sad tone:
"I'm sorry, all the Memphis fans, I let you down because I didn't handle the last two crucial goals. My impatience and lack of composure ruined the team. ”
After saying this, Prince stood up and bowed deeply to the front, and the reporters hurriedly took pictures of Prince bowing. Prepare for tomorrow's newspaper.
But at this time, Randolph saw that Prince was being forced into this situation, and immediately said in front of the microphone:
"Dear journalists, dear Grizzlies fans, we did fail today, but the original intention of the defeat was not from our own team, and the opponent's dirty defense should also pay more responsibility for this."
As soon as Randolph said this, the reporters who were calmly or waiting to see the show immediately blew up their nests, which was really shocking, and Randolph actually began to fire at the pelicans at the press conference.
Sitting here, Robert Pera, Van Gundy, and Al Jefferson, Li Feng were all shocked in their hearts, this Randolph really dared to say anything.
In fact, they don't know, Randolph's depression in today's game is far beyond the imagination of others, as soon as he gets on the court, he is continuously fouled, hit, open and dark, starting down, Randolph himself returned to the locker room to see his body, all bruises, scratches, redness and swelling, countless injuries on his body, and there are everywhere, this is caused by Li Feng, Millsap, Brand, and the Pelicans to help defend those guys, that's it, if the game wins.
Randolph can let others see, see that this is what they did to me, but the victory still belongs to me, but today is not the case, today is Randolph himself after suffering countless attacks, the pelican reversed, his injuries are in vain, but the Pelican reversal, Randolph does not spit out this breath in his stomach, I am afraid that his yang life will be reduced by ten years.
Randolph spit out the mantra like this, and now Randolph himself is happy, but then the trouble comes.
Van Gundy couldn't sit still there at first, and he immediately warned Randolph by saying:
"It's a good game and an important game, please don't insult the game itself."
Van Gundy was warning Randolph not to talk nonsense in public, but Randolph was on the verge of collapse, and instead he screamed and said:
"If you pelicans don't foul me, you're dead, this long game is dirty."
At this moment, the entire media hall is even more chaotic.
"Of course it's dirty! Otherwise, how could I have been punished for a malicious foul because of a thug! ”
After Millsap said this, Randolph's anger increased! He cried out:
"Are you saying that my referee is biased against us!"
"That's what you said, I didn't even say that!"
Millsap quickly countered at this point.
"Shit. You kind of say it again! ”
Randolph was completely enraged at this point. He suddenly got up from his seat and glared at the pelican's side!
Of course, Millsap couldn't admit it at this time, and he suddenly stood up from his own actions! In the media hall at this time, the Pelicans' Millsap and the Grizzlies' Randolph are so tense.
Of course, the reporters at the scene were excited, and the cameras kept ringing, while Robert Pera and Van Gundy saw that something was wrong with the scene at the same time, and hurriedly got up to stop Millsap and Randolph!
When Millsap saw Van Gundy standing up, he immediately sat down with a face, and Randolph was still very angry at this time, and he was eager to come over and reason with Millsap.
Li Feng has been watching the excitement for a long time. At this time, he saw Randolph's excited and angry appearance, he sneered on the side's mental side, made a gesture towards Randolph and said:
"If you lose, you lose, don't afford to lose!"
At this time, Randolph heard that Li Feng also came to sarcastically mock himself, he felt furious, grabbed the Wen Jiàn clip in front of him and threw it at Li Feng, but unfortunately the Wen Jiàn clip was too light, and the Wen Jiàn clip was not thrown over, but smashed on the ground.
This time. Seeing that things were not going well, the press officer hurriedly announced that the press conference was now over, and the two teams returned to their respective locker rooms. But it's not good to let this situation continue!
At this time, the Grizzlies staff covered the Grizzlies player coach and the Pelicans player coach left the media hall one after another.
Li Feng followed Millsap back to the locker room. Van Gundy immediately reprimanded with a gloomy face:
"Paul, what are you doing, what do you want to do!"
Millsap pursed his lips and said slyly:
"The next game is back to our home stadium, we have to make that guy move a little bigger!"
Millsap said. Van Gundy was stunned!
He hadn't thought of Millsap. There was another thought, and Van Gundy immediately laughed.
Van Gundy and Millsap spoke here. The rest of the locker room immediately came over. Asked:
"What's going on, it looks like you're looking bad!"
Li Feng told his teammates what happened in the media hall just now. At this point, the Pelicans players immediately became annoyed, and they all followed by yelling at the Grizzlies.
When the Pelicans are yelling at the Grizzlies, you can imagine the Grizzlies scolding the Pelicans in their own locker room.
The Pelicans took the bus directly to the airport in the dark of night, and then returned to New Orleans after an overnight flight!
When he returned to New Orleans, when Li Feng passed by the airport, he saw that his profile picture was on the front page of the newspaper again, so he bought some back!
It was full of Native American newspapers commenting on the fairness of the game's penalty decisions and the Pelicans and Grizzlies arguing in the media hall.
Now it is clear that the conflict between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans on and off the court has become the main topic of conversation in the newspapers, but among these, the most interesting thing for Li Feng is the remarks made by Randolph in the newspapers.
When he was interviewed by reporters privately, he said that the Pelicans were very unbearable, and then said that the Pelicans players were despicable villains, especially Millsap, and Al Jefferson, and finally said Li Feng, who had a good relationship.
In this way, Randolph immediately became the target of the New Orleans media attack, Li Feng looked at the newspaper with relish about his own checks, and at this time, Rose, who came out of the airport together, saw the newspaper in Li Feng's hand.
Then he quickly took out the mobile phone in his hand, handed it to Li Feng and said:
"Look how shameless they are!"
Li Feng was surprised to take Rose's mobile phone and glanced at the news and news on it! This is the news released by many media outlets in Orlando, which is also full of disrespectful words about the Pelicans, followed by Randolph almost describing Millsap, El, Jefferson and even Li Feng as complete villains.
Ross looked at Li Feng's expression, and originally thought that Li Feng would be furious, but Li Feng just glanced at the news and said:
"That's the way losers are. All we have to do is get them home to fish. ”
When Li Feng said this, Ross also nodded very approvingly!
New Orleans Arena, Game 5 is on schedule.
The Pelicans' starting lineup is point guard Rose, scoring guard Arenas, small forward Li Feng, power forward Millsap, and center Henson.
Al Jefferson was suspended for three games due to his last game of Foshan Shadowless Foot, and the Pelicans sent rookie Henson to start in a surprise.
In the Grizzlies, their starting lineup is point guard Conley, shooting guard Tony Allen, and small forward Prince. Power forward Zach Randolph, center Marc Gasol.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup has not changed, but the Pelicans have made certain adjustments according to the Grizzlies' starting lineup, with two big men in the interior backlog, and Henson has been started, which is a mockery of the Grizzlies.
Henson and Marc Gasol stood in the center circle, and the referee blew the whistle, but the Grizzlies took advantage of a little bit, and Marc Gasol put the basketball into the hands of Tony Allen on one side.
Li Feng saw Tony Allen and immediately gave him space to take a step. Then watch Tony Allen's movements from behind.
Tony Allen's own attempt to pass was blocked by Li Feng, and he immediately passed the basketball to Conley's hands.
Conley is the playmaker of the Grizzlies, and as long as there are no problems playing, it's still good, and the ball is in Conley's hands. Conley immediately got his hands on the basketball and threw it into Randolph's hands on the second floor.
After Randolph got the basketball, he teamed up with Marc Gasol. Getting rid of Millsap and facing Henson, Randolph began to slam desperately into Henson's body.
Henson was prepared and resisted Randolph with his body. Don't let Randolph squeeze to his side, and then Randolph suddenly made a move, attacking Henson's head, Henson's defense was already in place, and he had completely bet on Henson's offensive line, but in the last one.
Henson can't defend Randolph, he can support him on the ground for a while, but when he is in the air, Henson can't control it, he can only watch Randolph shoot, this ball, Randolph is shot through Henson, if his hand feels good.
The ball will be hit, but if it doesn't feel good, it won't hit, and at this point Randolph's first shot was a gamble on luck rather than skill and physicality.
Randolph was gambling on his luck, but Randolph really had some luck today, and he hit the shot, and after Randolph hit the basketball on Henson's head, he yelled excitedly himself.
It can be seen that after the opening, Randolph is in very good shape, and the big guy is looking forward to beating the Pelicans at home and away to wash away the humiliation of the past.
"It looks like Randolph was very motivated today, and now it's starting to get excited, and I think the Grizzlies must have been chasing for a long time in this game."
Bill Wharton sat in the commentary seat and looked at the fat blue man who was very excited below.
"Yes."
Hardaway is also very hopeful on the commentary bench that the Grizzlies can beat the Pelicans today.
Van Gundy sat on the sidelines and sighed, the Grizzlies still haven't changed, they still have to start attacking from the inside, their offensive style is still so old-fashioned, but what's the solution, this is the Grizzlies' offense.
The Grizzlies haven't changed, and after they use Randolph as the core, they can't make changes, and that's how they play in the future.
The Grizzlies attack the inside, the Pelicans also play simple, the Pelicans start to attack from the outside of the Grizzlies, and begin to play the Grizzlies' two defenders on the outside, the Grizzlies' outside line is Tony Allen and Prince, one of these two people has injuries, and the other is facing Li Feng is an absolute disadvantage.
Li Feng also despised Tony Allen a little in the first round, dribbling directly towards the Grizzlies' inside line, which was a very ferocious breakthrough, Li Feng thought that he could kill Tony Allen with a breakthrough.
But he didn't expect that the grizzly bear was desperate, and Li Feng broke through and was immediately surrounded by the assistant defense behind the grizzly bear.
All the defenders on both sides directly wrapped Li Feng in the middle, and the Grizzlies team's Li Feng's breakthrough was extremely studied, and as soon as Li Feng broke through a little here, the Grizzlies immediately wrapped Li Feng. Li Feng didn't have any chance to make a layup, and his breakthrough timing was too blunt.
There was no gap in the grizzly bear's inner line, Li Feng wanted to use his ability to crash out of a gap, but the grizzly bear suddenly came out and blocked all the roads with a tough defense, and Li Feng wanted to crash out of a way, so he crashed into the wall.
In the face of such a defense, Li Feng reluctantly jumped up and threw the basketball into the hands of Rose in the opposite corner, and Rose got the basketball in his hand, and it was a quick three-point shot.
Rose misses a three-point shot.
Rose misses a three-point shot. The Pelicans' first offense failed, and Li Feng hit the Grizzlies' key defensive zone from the beginning, and then the ending was naturally not perfect.
Li Feng silently ran towards the back, and at this time he completely understood in his heart that the grizzly bear didn't want to go fishing, very much.
At this time, Li Feng looked at Van Gundy on the sideline, and Van Gundy shook his hand, telling Li Feng not to rush and wait.
"It looks like the Pelicans' offense is running into some problems. The Grizzlies were well prepared for the Pelicans' offensive approach, and Li Feng was surrounded in the first round. ”
Hardaway was happy to say it in the commentary seat.
The Pelicans used to feel like they were slow-paced, but today, they met the Grizzly Bear. The Grizzlies' offense isn't very fast right now, and Conley dribbles over, slowly pushes in, and hands it over to Tony Allen for a transition.
Tony Allen then wanted to pass the basketball to Randolph on the inside. But the embarrassing thing happened again.
In the face of Li Feng's large defensive area, Tony Allen is still very difficult to pass, unless he hits the ground from below. But the ball is the last thing the big man likes to catch, so Tony Allen can only turn to a third person here and pass the basketball to the hands of Marc Gasol, who pulls up on the side.
After the Spaniard got the basketball, he hoisted the basketball very quickly behind Randolph, and Marc Gasol knew that it was a good deal to pass the anti-hoist in this situation, and Randolph may not be able to take advantage of it, but compared to bouncing, Millsap must not be able to do it.
Sure enough, after Marc Gasol hoisted the basketball over, Randolph turned and jumped, snatched the basketball into his own hands on Millsap's hands, and Randolph, who got the basketball, hurriedly pounced under the basket.
At this time, Millsap was behind Randolph, and he needed to face only empty blue, no, at this time, Henson suddenly came out of Randolph's side, Henson rushed up from the side, and directly blocked it in front of Randolph, opened his hands, and crashed into Randolph.
Was Randolph afraid of this on the inside, Randolph collided with Henson directly with his body, the two interior meat players collided together, and Randolph did not score.
But the referee's whistle blew and directly gave Henson a foul, and Henson, who was whistled for the foul, did not give any explanation, just made a gloomy face and walked aside.
Today's task given to Henson by the coach is this, to prevent Randolph from scoring, to prevent Randolph from receiving the ball, to prevent Randolph from doing a qiē thing, and not to let Randolph do anything.
Grizzlies head coach Robert Pera sat on the sidelines, touched his big belly, and then kept thinking about what happened in his mind, and now Randolph is also strictly restricted by the Pelicans, the game between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies is like two masters who know each other very well, no one can take out their best martial arts to defeat the opponent, because your best opponent already knows, he knows what you have to do and will be prepared, so the best things of both teams have been contained, Now what can determine the trend of the game between the two teams is who can change their way first, who can find an effective way to attack first, and who can occupy the crazy position.
It's not a game in the ordinary sense of the word, it's a desperate effort, because the Grizzlies really can't afford to lose.
Henson stepped aside, Pelicans served from the baseline, Li Feng's attack just now failed, this time he intends to change the way he attacks, not to break through, but to use his own ass to deal with Tony Allen.
If you don't let me break through, I'll attack with my back, if you hit me, I'll pass the ball, Li Feng planned it, and he dribbled and ran over slowly. (To be continued......)
