After Millsap got the basketball, he observed the court and quickly transferred the basketball to the hands of Al Jefferson on the side, in fact, Al Jefferson can also play the role of an interior planner, but his offensive ability is weak, so he does not have so much containment.

The basketball went to Al Jefferson's hands, this guy lightly, the basketball went straight to Li Feng, who cut up in the air, and it was a seemingly inconspicuous but absolutely wonderful pass.

The timing was just right, Li Feng resisted Conley beside him, and with the help of the momentum of the basketball, he quickly turned around, unscrewed Conley with his shoulder and buttocks, and then turned into a right-handed layup.

Li Feng completed the action of receiving the ball, turning and layup in the process of cutting in the air, easily got the score, and completely unscrewed Conley's defense, which is what Van Gundy said about the impact.

The Pelicans' tactics shifted from low-post offense to cut-in layups, and Robert Pera was indifferent, so he immediately told his players on the sidelines to tighten up their defense against cut-in.

At the same time, in the half, he continued his low-post offense, but this time the low-post offense was chosen by Tony Allen, who easily made a hook on the Pelicans' head and sent the basketball into the Pelicans' basket.

The ball was back in the hands of the Pelicans, and Van Gundy immediately surrounded his impact strategy, replacing Arenas and Rose with Kalombutler and Oladipo and Li Feng as outside partners.

At this time, the Pelicans' outside personnel are completely different, Li Feng and Arenas and Ross cooperate with a combination of breakthrough organization + projection + defense, the main feature of this combination is balance, no matter what situation is encountered, it will not be too unbalanced, and any situation can be dealt with.

The main lineup of the average team is like this, and the balance is pursued first. Then adjust the lineup of the whole team according to the changes on the field.

Now that the Pelicans' outside lineup has become Li Feng and Oladipo and Caron Butler, the projection ability is not so stable, Arenas's stable dìng is irreplaceable by Caron Butler and Oladipo, Oladipo and Caron Butler are comprehensive, but the single-round shooting ability is not as good as Arenas, and in terms of defense, especially in the half, Kalombbutler is definitely not as skilled as Rose.

But now the Pelicans' lineup highlights the impact, all three of them are tall and versatile, and the three of them can play a very wild offense if they increase the water speed a little, which is also something that the balanced lineup just now can't achieve.

The Pelicans switched to such a lineup. Robert Pera's heart immediately clenched, his Grizzlies, it is difficult to defend all aspects under such all-round firepower, and if the Pelicans are average, it will be fine.

But if the Pelicans have a good feel and the fight is on fire everywhere, those guys from the Grizzlies will be able to hold it up.

At this time, Hubby Brown also groaned:

Then he said that the Pelicans want to break the situation that the Grizzlies are holding right now with a more impactful offense, even if their players don't feel good from the outside. They also have enough players to repeatedly attack the Grizzlies' position, looking for opportunities in simple breakaway passes, breakaway passes, and it looks like the Grizzlies are going to have a hard time. ”

Rick Smitz was a little overjoyed. He didn't look as far as Hubie Brown, but he also knew in his heart that the Pelicans' bench depth was far beyond the effect that the Grizzlies had accumulated in the end, and if the Grizzlies could make a few benches to block the Pelicans' attack, the Pelicans would have no chance.

Li Feng arrived at the Grizzlies' half. Sure enough, as Hubbie Brown said, the first thing was his forced cut, which cut a hole in the middle for the grizzly bear. Then the basketball was passed to Kaloon Butler on the wing.

Caron Butler broke through from the flank again, there was a hole for the Grizzlies from the flank, a good formation was opened twice, the Grizzlies' defense was already scattered, and when Oladipo broke through again, an easy mounted archery sent the basketball into the opponent's basket.

The Pelicans' impact tactics came up to succeed, which proved that Van Gundy's thinking was right, and his idea and the team's tactical application were correct.

Van Gundy has a lot of confidence in this, playing half-court with the Grizzlies is definitely a thankless task, that is not the best way, if the best way is to attack the weaknesses of the Grizzlies, now compare the strength of the two teams.

The Pelicans' biggest advantage is their youth and absolute impact, so now the Pelicans' game must be fast, impactful, and combined with a wide range of transfers, it will definitely be able to break through the Grizzlies' defense.

Otherwise, attacking in the half court with the Grizzlies is to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 themselves, and there is no oil and water.

Robert Pera here, he is naturally also well versed in the Pelicans' tactical changes, which are based on the weaknesses of his team, and at this time, the Grizzlies must re-control the tempo to their own slow pace.

The battle of strong teams often turns into a competition for rhythm in the end, the rhythm of a team is the characteristics of a team, I played my rhythm out, I played my characteristics, the victory is that we read the full text of the mirror, on the contrary, if the rhythm is suppressed, the characteristics are suppressed, then the game will fail.

After the Grizzlies arrived at the Pelicans' half, they also knew this truth deeply, so they pressed the rhythm very slowly, and the whole team had a very slow pace of offense, and the Grizzlies also gave up the pursuit of low post persistence.

High-intensity low-post offense, Randolph is not capable of doing it at this age, the Grizzlies began to seek to use Prince's mid-range shot to solve the battle, Prince's mid-range shot is really a very stable offensive weapon according to the hit rate, this kind of steady dìng Cheng dù is simply comparable to the offensive efficiency of a big man in the three-second zone under normal circumstances.

Prince circled the court and finally got Conley's pass and shot in the area where Prince often shot, and the basketball was easily thrown into Prince.

The Grizzlies didn't give the Pelicans a chance to get a rebound in the backcourt, so Al Jefferson could only quickly get to the basket and serve quickly, throwing the basketball directly across the Pelicans' half court to speed up the pace of the game and create a chasing offense effect.

Using Al Jefferson's long-range shooting to create this effect is a little reluctant after all, but it doesn't stop the Pelicans' forward group from frantically charging towards the Grizzlies' halfcourt.

Oladipo, who got the basketball, dribbled two steps, disliked that he was not fast enough, and quickly stuffed the basketball into the hands of Kalom Butler, who was faster than him. Kaloon Butler gets the basketball and dribbles along the sideline, and it is Tony Allen who defends in front of Kaloon Butler.

Tony Allen played more violently, even if his chances were not very good now, Caron Butler still broke through from the sideline and cut frantically towards the low position of the Grizzlies, at this time although the Grizzlies' position had just returned, but in the face of Caron Butler's breakthrough, they could also shrink back.

Caron Butler fortunately did not lose his mind at this time, and saw that the Grizzlies' defense was relatively tight, so he immediately separated the basketball and passed it to Li Feng's hands. Li Feng had just received the basketball behind Calon Butler when he saw that Millsap was already standing in a 45-degree vacancy on one side.

At this time, Li Feng's hand flicked quickly and sent the basketball to Millsap's hands, Millsap got the basketball He didn't have that kind of assault ability, but he had a comprehensive range, and after receiving the basketball, it was a brisk mid-range shot.

Easily sent the basketball into the Grizzlies' basket, the Pelicans' ball played quickly, not like the Grizzlies in the halfcourt for a long time is a baseline shot. One shot is all the way.

From the beginning of the pass, the Pelicans tried their best to pursue faster speed, passing, attacking, and transferring to Li Feng. The goal was scored by the lightning, and the rhythm pursued by the two teams was completely different.

The Pelicans came and went fast, and immediately after the offense, they turned back and ran back to defend. Seeing this, Hubbie Brown sat behind the commentary seat and said:

"If the Pelicans can stick to the current rhythm, the Pelicans will win. It's hard for the Grizzlies to block an onslaught like that from the Pelicans."

Robert Pera himself knows this very well, his side divided the effort for half a day and then scored a goal, and when he got to this side, he immediately lost points, which is absolutely not good, if you want to play slow-paced basketball, you need to strengthen the defense, this is an inevitable thing.

Despite being his team's offensive round, Robert Pera rushed to the sidelines and yelled at his players, telling the Grizzlies players to pay attention to defense and watch for the Pelicans' breakaways.

It just so happened that after Robert Pera yelled twice, Li Feng immediately shouted to his teammates, asking his teammates to pay attention to the Grizzlies' interior offense and running without the ball.

Well, both teams are trying to play their own rhythm and then use defense to contain their opponents' good attacking style.

After the Pelicans strengthened their defense of the low post and off-ball running, the Grizzlies' offense was really much more difficult, and generally speaking, the Grizzlies are not the kind of team with super offensive ability, his offense relies on the cooperation of the whole team, this kind of offense that is not dominated by stars and relies on the team's offense, and the offense of the Grizzlies will be broken, and the Grizzlies' offense also has this problem.

When encountering a tenacious defense, and the players were relatively cold, the Grizzlies did not have a superstar to stand up and lead the team alone, and now the Grizzlies encountered complete resistance from the Pelicans, and Conley could only take on the task of superstar in the end, but Conley was still far from a superstar, and a breakthrough was still outside the basket.

The basketball fell into Millsap's hands, and this time the Pelicans had a backcourt rebound, and the Pelicans with a backcourt rebound immediately launched a fast break, and Millsap turned around and passed the basketball to Li Feng's hands.

The speed was so fast that Zach Randolph didn't even have time to interfere with the pass, and Li Feng rushed towards the Grizzlies' basket like an assault boat.

Li Feng is different from Caron Butler, Li Feng is faster, stronger, and more capable of ball control than Caron Butler, so letting Li Feng rush up is like a humanoid tank.

It was too late for Conley to stop Li Feng at this time, and Li Feng, who rushed up, couldn't stop it at all, almost hanging Conley running towards the Grizzly Bear's basket.

The Grizzly Bear retreated quickly, but still did not completely shut Li Feng out, Li Feng played the ball directly into the Grizzly Bear's basket, and at this position, the Grizzly Bear's players in any position slapped towards Li Feng's body, Li Feng wanted this effect, and if he wanted to play a dragon on the Grizzly Bear, this possibility was absolutely unlikely.

As soon as Li Feng turned around, he passed the basketball to Caron Butler, who was following behind, and at this time, the comprehensiveness of Caron Butler was shown. Stretching his arm, he threw a high throw behind everyone in the Grizzlies and threw the basketball at the Grizzlies' basket.

The Pelicans' quick blows followed, and the Grizzly Bears' basket was shredded again.

Now the situation is really bad for the Grizzlies, they have a hard time to hit the Pelicans a ball, but the Pelicans can easily tear apart the Grizzlies' defense, this is the imbalance, the balance of victory is starting to tilt in favor of the Pelicans.

The Grizzlies tried to control the tempo, but on the half-court offense, they met the Pelicans no less than their defense, but when it was their turn to defend, they couldn't do anything with the Pelicans.

The Pelicans' offensive approach is also very simple. Speeding up the tempo, the impact of the front group, and then transferring the basketball on a large scale, it is easy to master, but it is such a simple offensive routine, because it plays the strengths of the Pelicans and hits the weaknesses of the Grizzlies, it will make the Grizzlies unable to raise their heads.

Consecutive point chasing, continuous offense and free throws in the Grizzlies' half. Seeing that the Grizzlies have accumulated a half-court advantage and shrinking little by little, seeing the Pelicans now close to the score little by little.

At this time, Robert Pera couldn't stand it anymore, and he immediately called a timeout and began to adjust his tactics. Coach Robert Pera was introduced earlier, and he is not the type of person who goes to extremes and can take a gamble at some point.

Robert Pera's personality is more like us Chinese, always wanting to take a bit of a middle route. I always want to fuse, he is a tinkering general, and the same is true in on-the-spot command. By this time, Robert Pera had also come to a middle course, and in response to the Pelicans' current fast, impactful, and wide-area shift tactics, Robert Pera used a neutral way to strengthen the speed of the retreat when defending, and strengthen the cut-in defense for the upper three.

Actually, Robert Pera didn't completely solve the problem, but that's how Robert Pera solved the problem.

The Grizzlies returned to the court and ran a very complicated tactic, and the replaced Ed Davis made an easy mid-range shot, and the Grizzlies' signature scoring method was a mid-range shot.

The Grizzlies scored this is not the point, the point is how the Grizzlies can defend the Pelicans from such a fast impact today, the Pelicans rushed up quickly, the Pelicans rushed fast enough, and rushed hard enough, directly pressing the Grizzlies' line back.

The task has been completed in front, and in the end, it is almost time to transfer the basketball out, Oladipo threw the basketball at Li Feng under the Grizzly Bear's basket, and the speed of the ball is still very fast.

But Oladipo's passing route was a little lower, and Conley, who was beside Li Feng, immediately stretched out his arm, put the basketball a little in front of Li Feng, and then Conley picked up the basketball.

The Pelicans played a good and suddenly made a mistake, which was really a small blow, and the Pelicans who made a mistake did not immediately go back to defense quickly, but the Grizzlies now have a slight small change on the inside, which makes the Grizzlies' offense more flexible, Ed Davis played power forward, and Zach Randolph played center, so that the Grizzlies are much more flexible in the interior combination than just now.

Ed Davis and Millsap are in the opposite position, there is no problem at all, and now the most unlucky person for the Pelicans is Al Jefferson, and he immediately felt uncomfortable after playing against Randolph, because what is Randolph's most common scoring method recently, is to shoot outside.

In this way, Al Jefferson also has to follow Randolph to float outside the three-point line, and has to follow Randolph to run back and forth throughout the court, and Al Jefferson is a little unbearable.

One was not careful, Al Jefferson lost Randolph, and in just one step, the basketball went to Randolph's hands, and the guy quickly straightened his arm in front of Al Jefferson, and when he stretched out his arm, a three-pointer was thrown out of his hand.

It was too late for Al Jefferson to pounce, he didn't have the kind of aggressive physique that would allow him to defend the basketball first, and could only watch Randolph shoot his head.

Swish!

The blue fat man's three-point shot made Al-Jefferson's heart sink, the big man's three-point shot.

This thing that Al Jefferson has been paying attention to for a long time made his heart move again, Al Jefferson has personally experienced the torture of the opponent with a three-point shot that can shoot three-pointers, and he has also experienced the killing of the opponent by the center's three-point shot.

He made up his mind that he should also learn three-point shooting, no matter what others say, he should master an offensive technique, only in this way, that is, only in this way can he really dominate the court.

The Grizzlies' condition has changed a bit, and the Pelicans' condition has changed a little, but this series of changes is all unexpected and unpredictable for Van Gundy and Robert Pera.

The Pelicans' basket was broken, and the Pelicans simply took the mistake just now as a thing, they continued to urge the team, and quickly went up, and then Li Feng lowered his head and rushed the Grizzlies basket with the basket.

Usually the Grizzlies' basket is not so tough, but after Ed Davis came up, the Grizzlies' basket became a little harder, and Ed Davis was not as tall as Dale Davis, but at that time, the defense was not tall, it was okay.

Li Feng was a little careless, the basketball in his hand was actually caught by Ed Davis in the crowd, and the basketball was slapped out at once, Li Feng himself made a mistake, another mistake.

The basketball was picked up by Tony Allen under the Grizzlies' basket, and then the Grizzlies took advantage of Li Feng's mistake to suddenly come to a fast break, and he played very crisply, Prince used to be a fast jumper in the past.

The Grizzlies had two counter-attacking balls in a row, and the Pelicans hit again quickly, only to have Caron Butler miss a shot.

The Grizzlies came back to Randolph for another three-pointer, and the momentary Robert Pera's timeout that didn't have any effect, but it really worked, and after that timeout, the Grizzlies themselves became more solid on the inside, and they were more flexible in the half-court offense, while the Pelicans had a very unlucky problem, turnovers, and low-level turnovers.

This kind of mistake made the Pelicans play smoothly in front of them The kind of quick impact and large-scale transfer became full of holes, and the Grizzlies instead took advantage of the situation to seize the opportunity to continue to attack and gradually widen the score.

The situation on the court changed in an instant, the Pelicans, who had been dominant, fell into the quagmire of low-level turnovers and inefficiency, while the Grizzlies began to score and defend efficiently, and Zach Randolph's three-point shot literally tortured Al Jefferson to death.

At this time, Van Gundy was in a hurry, he called a timeout, and wanted to adjust the psychology of the whole team, but it turned out to be powerful, Van Gundy's fast-paced customized for the Pelicans, forward group impact and large-scale transfer, it was easy to make mistakes.

Whether it is a fast pace, multiple impacts, or a wide range of transfer basketball, it is something that conservative basketball avoids, and it can be seen that these three things have a high error rate.

Now the Pelicans use the three things together, and they will play well for a while, but they will be doomed to make mistakes for a while, but Van Gundy didn't expect this to come so quickly and so suddenly.

Hubie Brown, who was in the commentary box, didn't expect this to happen to the Pelicans, and the Pelicans actually made consecutive mistakes in this kind of game, which is really rare.

The Pelicans are in a bad situation, but the Grizzlies seem to have gained some wonderful power, step by step to leave the Pelicans behind, the Pelicans organized a big counterattack in the fourth quarter, Li Feng also desperately pounced on the Grizzlies' basket, but it was useless, today the Grizzlies' defense is perfect, their stubborn defense, smooth offense, easily repelled the Pelicans' counterattack.

The Pelicans fought until the last minute, but they still lost the game by 5 points, 98-93.

The Pelicans actually lost the game at home, and when the game was over, the Grizzlies players finally released their pent-up mood from the audience, and these guys cheered and hugged in front of the Pelicans' ball, completely ignoring the Pelicans' feelings.

The Grizzlies players who won this game are much more comfortable, they killed the Thunder in the first round and lost the first win in the second round, and now they have finally turned over, how can the Grizzlies be unhappy. (To be continued......)
