Lamb was annoyed, this was clearly looking down on him, Pierce's breakthrough was pediatric in his opinion, he had been following the other party closely, Pierce had no chance to shoot under his entanglement, the two were entangled all the way to the inside, and then Lamb felt a chill in his crotch, and was stunned to find that the ball in Pierce's hand was missing.

Li Feng, who originally wanted to come up to cover Pierce, saw the ball pass out of Lamb's crotch, he got the ball directly, turned around Adams, and faced Ibaka who came up to the defense, he quickly shrank his knee and jumped up.

Ibaka was shaken, Li Feng stretched his body again and raised his arms high, Adams, who had been bypassed before, caught up in time, he sneered and jumped up, and then saw the ball above his head fall again, and only then did Li Feng rise to the ground!

"Boom!"

A violent dunk, even if it is their enemy, the Thunder fans still have to applaud this offense, it is so exciting, whether it is Pierce's crotch pass or Li Feng's violent dunk after the two of them, these two people perfectly show the charm of basketball!

Finding that the opponent set off a counterattack climax, Westbrook and Durant glanced at each other, and their expressions became stern, this situation must not be allowed, and the two decided to join forces to counterattack, they want to strangle the opponent's counterattack in the cradle.

Westbrook rushed to the front court at a gallop, Durant ran out of the open space with the help of Ibaka's cover, Westbrook did not miss the ball anymore and immediately passed the ball to the empty Durant.

Durant got the ball and was about to make a shot, but he was stunned to find that Li Feng, who was far away in the penalty area, suddenly appeared in front of him, and he hurriedly withdrew the ball that was ready to shoot, turned around and resisted Li Feng with a huge buttocks, and then his body swayed from side to side irregularly, turned around again and slid to widen the distance between the two, Durant stepped directly into the penalty area.

He had used this trick to clean up Kelly before, and this time he faced Li Feng. He did it again, and it was faster and with a wider footride.

But he still couldn't escape Li Feng's defense, Durant even provoked his wrist to make a high throw, but Li Feng was already guarding against his move, and when the ball flew up, he jumped up, followed up quickly with his big hand, and slapped the ball down.

Thornton picked up the ball and passed it to Jordan Hamilton, Pierce and Thornton followed him forward, and the Pelicans' trident fast break returned to the court, with Westbrook and Lamb scrambling to follow. But neither of them is good at defense, Westbrook is due to physical reasons, Lamb is due to IQ reasons, Jordan Hamilton stuck to Westbrook and then came to a NOLOOKPASS, lightly deceived Lamb and passed the ball to Thornton on the right wing.

Thornton took off with the ball and dunked, and the Pelicans' attack was high. The tide is out.

Scott Brooks hurriedly called a timeout, the Pelicans' offense and defense were crisp, and the Thunder lost not only the score, but also the momentum and rhythm.

Brooks' timeout was exactly what Van Gundy wanted. He just took the opportunity to replace Corey on the court, and although Jordan Hamilton defended Westbrook very well, he didn't help the team enough when attacking, and the success of these attacks either caught the Thunder off guard. Either rely on Li Feng's ability, which is not what Van Gundy wants to see.

It just so happened that Westbrook and Ibaka were also off, Westbrook was injured after all, and he was still a defender who relied on speed and explosiveness to eat. Ibaka is not feeling well, he has recently felt back pain, shortness of breath, and chest pain, but he has not found any problems when he examines his back and chest.

However, this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of Thunder has decreased. Because they added another Perry Jones to the inside!

In addition, the Thunder already have an Adams who is weak on offense and strong on the inside, and it would be a bit of a waste to send Perry Jones with the same style on the court, or Ibaka, who has a balanced offense and defense, is more suitable to start.

But now that Ibaka is unwell, and Li Feng has gone berserk, Adams obviously can't look down on him alone, and Perry Jones should also play.

As soon as Li Feng landed on the inside, Adams was behind him, and Perry Jones was watching from the sidelines.

Van Gundy waved vigorously, and Gasol, who was back on the pitch, withdrew from the box, and Perry Jones hesitated to follow.

This is the strength of the Pelicans, yes, the other party can indeed wrap Li Feng, but in this way their big forward will be vacant, the orthodox power forward on the Pelicans side is Gasol and Thornton, both of them have a beautiful long-range shooting kung fu, if they dare to let go of the two, then the opponent has a hard time.

Perry Jones followed out, Adams alone could not deal with Li Feng, Corey passed the ball in, Li Feng shook the ball left and right, his strong back leaned on Adams's chest, and squeezed back, Adams staggered back, Li Feng immediately turned around, shook his arm softly, shook his wrist and sent the ball into the hoop.

Brooks couldn't help but shake his head, his face was a little depressed, Li Feng has grown every season, and the skills he has developed on the offensive end are amazing, you can imagine how high his achievements will be in the future.

Westbrook and Ibaka are off the court, and the Thunder's offensive strength has been greatly reduced, and all they can rely on is Durant and Nerves Lamb.

Durant holds the ball and does it alone, Li Feng goes up directly to mark him, Perry Jones and Adams have almost zero other offensive methods except for dunks, and Gasol and Thornton are enough.

Facing Li Feng, who is tall, Durant was obviously a little uncomfortable, he quickly took small steps, and several consecutive feints did not deceive Li Feng, so he could only helplessly step back and jump.

Even if he jumps, his posture is not comfortable, otherwise he is comfortable Li Feng will be comfortable blocking.

The ball bounced out, Li Feng turned around and took off the rebound, Corey rushed forward quickly, Li Feng entered the inside line and also won the ball, Adams and Perry Jones came up to wrap up, Li Feng passed the ball to Corey, who quickly handed the ball to Thornton in the open space.

Thornton hit a shot from beyond the three-point line, and the rhythm was completely controlled by the Pelicans.

Lamb was not angry but happy, he felt his chance finally came, he had a good hand today, and the fact that Pierce was shorter than him in defense gave him a strong confidence that he had what it takes to be the savior of the team today.

Pierce's defensive aggressiveness is not what Lamb can imagine, and the defense has nothing to do with him before, he doesn't care. Just followed Lamb around and didn't let him catch the ball, and when Lamb got the ball, he changed his attitude and immediately pounced like an octopus, entangling Lamb without moving.

Lamb's temper tantrum came up, although Pierce forced him hard, but he still stubbornly chose to make a jumper, Pierce pressed again and again, and Lamb's shooting space was too small. The ball becomes an air balloon.

The configuration of a team like the Thunder is too problematic, their offense and defense are too individualized, and Westbrook and Durant's defense is too poor, so they are destined to not be able to play defensive battles; And the offense of Adams and Perry Jones is too poor, and without a good point guard like Kidd or Nash, they can't play a pure offensive battle.

For this kind of team to win, they have to pray that their opponents have holes in the defence, and in addition to their hands.

In the first half, the Thunder felt very hot, and Westbrook and Durant were afraid of shooting percentages. And Lamb's several shots were also fruitful.

But in the second half, as Durant and Westbrook dropped physically, their shooting percentage was problematic, which is why the team put so much emphasis on interior building. Having a good interior player will help them too much offensively and defensively.

At the end of the first half, the Thunder still led the Pelicans by five points, but their lead was wiped out after two minutes of the third quarter, and two more minutes were played. It was the Pelicans who began to take the lead.

Li Feng assisted Pierce and Corey to hit a three-pointer each for two consecutive attempts, and then Li Feng and Corey blocked and made a mid-range shot, and the Pelicans' flowing offense quickly stopped the Thunder. Coach Brooks had to call a timeout five minutes into the third quarter.

After the timeout, the Pelicans were even more ferocious, Li Feng first sent a hot pot cap to his idol Westbrook, and then the offense caused Adams to foul and hit both free throws, so that the Thunder's offense was completely killed, and the Pelicans played a dream 10-0 start in the third quarter.

Westbrook's running shot ended the Thunder's five-and-a-half-point scoring drought, Li Feng scored four points in a row to continue to instigate the Pelicans' offense, and after a 13-3 attack climax, the Pelicans left the Thunder far behind in the entire third quarter with 27-10.

Fortunately, the Thunder team is not the kind of soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, and then Westbrook's breakthrough and Durant's mid-range shot completed a 7-0 small climax to chase the score to 17-27, seeing this, Li Feng immediately attacked the inside line and colored, and the whole game was under the control of the Thunder, and finally ended the third quarter with a small climax of 10-5, and achieved an absolute lead of 37-17 in this quarter.

The Thunder's backwardness became double digits, but the team with Westbrook has absolute resilience, if the average team might have given up the game, but the Thunder did not, under the leadership of Westbrook, the soldiers became more and more courageous, which is in line with the black proverb: a lion led by a sheep will become a sheep, and a sheep led by a lion will become a lion.

In the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, at the beginning of Westbrook pulled to the three-point line and shot out, which is rare, Westbrook's three-point shot is notoriously convulsive, and then when defending, Adams elbowed Li Feng, who was not a soft persimmon, and immediately returned an elbow, directly knocking Adams to the ground.

The two men each received a technical foul, Durant's three-pointer continued to chase the Thunder, and the Pelicans' offensive efficiency was declining, with only Corey's free throws scoring two points in the three-minute period, and Van Gundy called a timeout as he redeployed the lineup.

After the timeout, Li Feng received Pierce's pass and scored a dunk, and the Thunder's veteran Collison made a contribution, he actually blocked Li Feng's turnaround jumper, and hit two consecutive basket shots.

Collison has a mediocre physique, doesn't jump high, doesn't run fast, and can survive in the NBA, relying on a hard fight that is not afraid of death, he often defends the opponent's most ferocious interior player, is a coolie, and frontcourt rebounding is his forte.

Scott Brooks sent him on the court out of desperation, but he was overjoyed to see that it had a miraculous effect.

What made him even happier was that later, the Thunder's offense also began to improve, and he beat the Pelicans with a small climax of 9-2.

Li Feng scored four points in a row with free throws to stabilize the Pelicans' position, but then Durant scored at the free throw line, and after Pierce went off the court, Lamb's nerve knife finally began to exert force, and his three-point shooting was unrelenting, and the team regained control of the situation under the unity of the Thunder soldiers.

Turner's offense got a little frizzy, and the Thunder scored four more points after he picked up an offensive foul. However, on the Pelicans' side, Corey also took the initiative to shoot, and even shot back with free throws, and the Thunder, who were strangled on the inside, could hardly do anything, although they recovered a lot on the score, but from the point of view of form, it was still just as bad.

The Thunder missed two consecutive offensive misses, and two mid-range shots from Corey and Turner made the game less controversial, and the Pelicans still led by double digits 92-82 five minutes before the end of the game.

However, the Pelicans' offense after that went a little wrong, and their interior lost their advantage after Li Feng went off the court. Westbrook and Durant continued to attack the Pelicans' interior, and Ibaka, who had rested for two quarters, also began to exert strength, and Ibaka continued to attack the interior and scored five points with free throws, and the Thunder regained the score.

Not to be outdone, Corey and Pierce combined to score four more points, and the game entered the white heat, the Thunder's response immediately appeared, and Durant hit the basket and dunked. Westbrook, who played the red eye, scored five points in a row, and seeing that the Thunder was about to gain momentum, Turner assisted Corey to throw in a three-pointer to shoot back, and the Thunder called a timeout. George redeployed his tactics in the final three minutes.

After the timeout, the Thunder launched a full-court pressing, but at this time Li Feng came back, and this kind of pinch attack did not stop the Pelicans' offense at all, and Li Feng scored consecutive points on the heads of Perry Jones and Ibaka. The point difference hovered around 10 points, and Durant hit both free throws after being fouled by Li Feng after dunking, and the Thunder didn't even have the confidence to shoot. You can only rely on the core to fight under the basket.

In the last minute and a half, the Pelicans' lead was still close to double digits, Li Feng thought that the Thunder was going to surrender this time, but Westbrook's eyes were resolute and began his solo performance, he first magically blocked Pierce's fast break, and then turned around to lead the team to the fast break and rushed into the interior to score two points.

Li Feng was pulled down by Perry Jones under the basket, he was a little anxious, but missed two free throws, and Westbrook took over the ball and directly played a 2+1 to make the game suspenseful again, and worse, Turner was dissatisfied with Perry Jones's rough action to help Li Feng get a technical foul.

The Thunder chased the score to within two points, and there were still more than forty seconds left at this time, and the Chesapeake Center was like a boiling pressure cooker, which had become full of people, and after receiving Li Feng's pass from Corey, he slammed the dunk again, and now the Chesapeake Center felt chilled as long as he saw Li Feng's tearing figure.

Westbrook did his best in one game, he showed a stunt that top guards have at the last moment, CROSSOVER shook Corey and Pierce in a row, Li Feng couldn't defend and could only stop him when he broke through to the basket, the Thunder home fans booed, Westbrook only hit one of the two free throws, and the most critical thing was that the second free throw was missed, and Li Feng took the rebound.

At the last moment, Li Feng showed his big heart again, and he made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line and hit his first and only three-pointer of the game.

With only a little more than ten seconds, the Pelicans' lead became six points, and finally the Thunder adopted foul tactics, but they still couldn't stop the Pelicans from winning, and finally lost 102-110.

The result of this game was a big regret for TNT and ESPN, there is no doubt that it was a wonderful game, and it can even be said that it was the best table in the league in March, both sides did their best, everyone gave their all, although the Thunder lost in the end, it was definitely a defeat, and if this game can be broadcast live nationally, the ratings will definitely be overwhelming.

AFTER THE GAME, THE VIDEO OF THE MATCH WAS UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE, AND THEN IT SPARKED A VIEWING FRENZY.

Li Feng scored 40 points on 18-of-30 shooting, he walked to the free throw line many times, and brought out the power of a super forward to the fullest, in addition to cutting down 22 rebounds, and once again got a 40+20 number, not only that, but he also had an excellent table of 7 blocks.

Corey had 16 points and 18 assists.

Westbrook scored a game-high 44 points, and he was especially brave in the fourth quarter, scoring 18 points to single-handedly dominate the Thunder's counterattack, and without him, the Thunder would have surrendered.

Wei Shao's courage made Li Feng's heart palpitate, and after the game, he unabashedly expressed his admiration for Westbrook in the face of reporters, hoping that the latter would be willing to come to the Pelicans, and he promised that as long as Westbrook came to the Pelicans, he would definitely be willing to serve Wei Shao as the third on the team.

Li Feng's invitation was naturally uncreative, and Wei Shao immediately said that if Li Feng was willing to go to Thunder, they were willing to let Li Feng be a glorious water cooler guard!

But that's not what the media is looking at. It was Li Feng's consecutive 40+20, three consecutive 40+20, which attracted the attention of all the media at once, occupying the headlines of the major media.

Li Feng's state shook the entire league, and also made Li Feng's next game attract attention.

In this context, some people are not convinced.

That's the Philadelphia 76ers' McCarvey, Michael Carter Williams, it can be Michael Jordan + Vince Carter + Jason Williams, or Michael Brown + Anthony Carter + Shamond Williams.

Relying on the number of last year's opener. McCarvey has garnered a lot of attention, but this season, his 29 percent shooting percentage and 17 percent three-point shooting percentage are outrageous.

However, with a lot of shots and a defense that only goes out of position for steals, McCarvey has an all-round count of 17.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists, creating the illusion that he is the next Jason Kidd.

"Li Feng is indeed a little bit good, but compared to me, he can only rank behind me"

It was McCarvey's confident remark ahead of the Pelicans' game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Li Feng is not even interested in fighting back, there are always some young players who like hype, so let him hype if the other party likes hype......

Li Feng's strong performance allowed Van Gundy to experiment with the lineup with confidence. Today, even the jump ball was handed over to Li Feng, Li Feng and Henry Sims jumped the ball, even 76ers fans, they didn't believe that Sims could snatch the ball in front of Li Feng. In fact, that's it, Li Feng rose up like a rocket and gave the racket to Corey.

Facing last year's so-called Rookie of the Year Rookie of the Year, McCarvey, Corey was also a little excited. Mentoring juniors has always been a favorite of NBA stars, and it's also their tradition.

Every year when rookies enter the league, the superstars teach them lessons. Give them the concept of respecting their elders, even if they are as strong as the little emperor James.

In fact, the stronger the class, the worse it is, when James first entered the league, Iverson, Carter, Maddy and Kobe took turns to teach him, and that's not all, and then Garnett, Pierce, and Nowitzki also took turns to clean him up.

Outside the three-point line, McCarvey stared warily at Corey, who kept changing the rhythm of the ball, which was the rhythm to break through.

Corey looked at McCarvey and grinned:

"Hey, boy, are you better than Li Feng?"

McCarvey doesn't speak, the defense doesn't leak, and it's strange that he didn't lose his position for a steal.

McCarvey moved slightly in front of Corey nimbly, blocking the opponent's breakthrough route and maintaining strong athleticism, even if the opponent did not break through and shot, he could block the first time.

Cory didn't care about McCarvey's attitude, he continued to laugh:

"Hey kid, you're an organizational defender?"

McCarvey, of course, still didn't speak, and Corey suddenly put away the ball, raised his hand and threw the ball under the basket.

The ball flew up, a huge shadow roared and flew up, Li Feng threw off Simes with a reverse run, rushed directly to the basket and jumped in the air, received the ball with both hands to the lower abdomen and then drew a big arc with both arms, the orange basketball was like a rising sun, and it was buckled into the hoop with a bang.

Corey pointed at McCarvey and smiled:

"Look, this is the way to play for a defender!"

McCarvey still didn't speak, he took the ball from Simms, looked forward faintly, and the calf muscles suddenly tensed, like a supercar powered by a rocket booster, and rushed through the half court with a 'whoosh'.

“omg！”

Cory was taken aback by McCarvey's speed and hurried back to defense.

McCarvey picked up the ball and accelerated with all his might, his eyes staring coldly at the front hoop and setting his goal.

Sims came up to help McCarvey cover, and knowing this guy's ability, he blocked Corey's chance to create McCarvey.

The game has just begun, and it seems that the two protagonists before the game are about to meet...... (To be continued......)
