Chapter 784: Hug it
The score opened again, and at this time, the Pelicans and Li Feng did ease up a little in terms of feel and offensive feeling.
However, the Bobcats were not willing to give up such an opportunity at all, and Douglas Roberts, after passing the basketball to Kemba Walker's hands, drilled in the cracks of the people, and the whole person was like a little mouse.
Li Feng's huge figure couldn't drill through those tiny holes at all, and finally let Roberts run directly to an open position to shoot three-pointers.
The Bobcats are another three-pointer, the Pelicans score here, and the Bobcats hit three points in succession, at this time the Pelicans are still tightly pressed behind them, the situation is very unfavorable, the Bobcats rushed up this blood, not only can not be suppressed, not only can not be suppressed, every time they press, they will rebound strongly.
As a result, the Bobcats' momentum became more and more violent, and the Pelicans were clearly still three points ahead, but it was as if they were behind.
The Pelicans turned back to Millsap for two points on a breakaway layup, and McKekey of the Bobcats hit a backhand for two points.
The two teams were at a stalemate at the most crucial moment of the game, and this insistence lasted for 2 minutes.
At this time, there are only 47 seconds left before the end of the game, and the three points of the Bobcats still did not catch up, but the Pelicans did not pull the score apart, at this time it is really step by step, as long as there is an undeserved mistake in a round, it may be a catastrophe, and the Bobcat's breath is also held in the chest.
At this time, it is still more advantageous for the Pelicans, because in the last 47 seconds, the player is in the hands of the Pelicans.
When Li Feng received the basketball from the baseline, the Bobcats fans booed, but they didn't want the Pelicans to hold down the rhythm at this time, and then win with only three points.
In the last round, Li Feng controlled the ball. Li Feng's task at this time is very simple, control the rhythm, shoot in the last few seconds, and strive to get the score steadily, Li Feng controls the basketball, just two steps outside the three-point line, when the ball consumes time.
He saw Oladipo running out from one end of the baseline very actively, throwing off Kemba Walker half a step behind him, and there were still more than ten seconds left. But Oladipo was asking for the ball with open hands.
For a moment, Li Feng didn't want to pass the basketball out, and what Oladipo said to himself before the game was also so profound, and in an instant, Li Feng was shaken.
Stuffed the basketball in his hand directly into Oladipo's hand, Oladipo received the ball and turned to shoot.
It was the decisive goal, and if it hit, the Pelicans would have taken a six-point lead. The game was arguably won, but if it missed, the Pelicans immediately went to hell, and the Bobcats came back to attack. Whether it's a two-point or a three-pointer, it poses a mortal threat to the Pelicans' victory.
At this time, everyone is watching the basketball thrown by Oladipo, and the focus of the whole court is here.
The arc of the basketball shot should be said to be quite perfect. But the basketball smashed on the hoop all of a sudden, jumped on the hoop, and missed it. Rolled out all at once.
Biyombo grabbed the rebound with a big hand at this time, and the head coach of the Bobcats, Slive Crawford, immediately called a timeout.
This time, the Bobcats' Time Warner Center Arena really started to boil, and the whole stadium was filled with cheers.
Breven Knight said proudly at this time:
"Oh, this opportunity is given by the Pelicans to the Bobcats, if the Bobcats hit a three-pointer, it will be tied with the Pelicans at the last moment, if the Bobcats are two-pointers, you can immediately implement foul tactics, now the initiative of the game, the Bobcats have mastered more than half of it, this is definitely a good opportunity for the Bobcats, if they win it will be a great victory, but if they lose, it will be a good game!"
It is true that now in the initiative of the game, the Bobcats have more than half of it, and psychologically the Bobcats also have an advantage.
With 36 seconds left, Slive Crawford will do his best to play a ball, then foul the game, and when he finally gets the ball, he will control the situation on the court again.
Now everyone knows that Slive Crawford will do this, but Van Gundy still can't speculate on the specific tactics of the Bobcats, because at this time the Bobcats have more options, two points, three points, inside and outside, are all possible, and the biggest possibility is a compound tactic, running out of a very complicated position in an instant.
Basketball gets to the point where it's most effective, and then it goes on offense right away.
At the end of the timeout, the Bobcats served on the sideline, and the Bobcats players fought in a horizontal row at the free throw line, and sure enough, it was such a run, at this time the Time Warner Center Arena began to fall silent, and the Bobcats fought hard for the whole game, and now it was time for a bumper harvest.
The referee's whistle blew and the touchline ball was delivered, standing on the sideline was Codilese of the Bobcats, who played the ball on the sideline with a wide view and was not easily blocked.
McKeggie, who was standing at the front, immediately ran towards the low post under the basket, and he was only powerful when he got to the basket, and Biyombo also clung to the three-second zone to go to the basket, and it was Kemba Walker who was wrapped in the middle.
When Kemba Walker ran out, his whole person was like a small whirlwind, making a big circle, McKeggie took the initiative to go out to cover Kemba Walker, and Kemba Walker ran without the ball.
ran out along the baseline, and at this time, just when the Pelicans focused their attention on Kemba Walker, Sessions, who had just changed to the court, turned around and received the basketball, and his attention was on the ball.
But at this time, when all the attention shifted to the upper line, Kemba Walker quickly made a bottom line cover with Biyombo below, and at this time, Kemba Walker went through the cover of two bottom lines, and it was empty all of a sudden.
At this time, Sessions suddenly passed the basketball to Kemba Walker's hands, and Millsap, who was closest to Kemba Walker, who had just defended Cordilezer, hurriedly gave up Cordillezer and pounced on Kemba Walker instead.
When Kemba Walker received the basketball, he was one step away from the three-point line, and Millsap caught up, dribbling straight beyond the three-point line and then immediately turning and shooting.
Kemba Walker was extremely determined at this time, receiving the ball and turning to shoot a jumper, and Millsap's lack of height at this time leaked out. Kemba Walker's turnaround jumper, he didn't interfere at all.
Kemba Walker's three-point shot at this time was like a knife, from the baseline line, to the Pelicans' basket at once, three points hit, this three-point hit, Time Warner Center Arena was like an explosion.
It was the decisive blow as the Bobcats finally tied the score with just 26 seconds left in the game. The Bobcats tied the game, and the morale of the Bobcats' continuation suddenly reached the highest point.
But at this time, the Pelicans players also felt extremely frustrated, leading for so long, and now when the game is about to end, everything is over, this matter is definitely a blow to the Pelicans.
Van Gundy reluctantly called a short timeout again and set up a catch-and-catch tactic, hoping to delay the time of the Bobcats.
But after the timeout, Van Gundy was disappointed. Slive Crawford didn't see any cleverness in normal times, but at this time, he actually arranged Douglas Roberts in the backcourt to block the Pelicans.
The Pelicans served and didn't even get two seconds to support it. Roberts pounced on Li Feng, fouled directly, and sent Li Feng to the free throw line, the fate of the game at this time. It was mastered by Li Feng.
If he hits two free throws, the Bobcats can only play three-point tactics or play overtime. But if Li Feng only hits one ball, then Bobcat has more options and opportunities!
The Bobcats unsurprisingly sent Li Feng to the free-throw line and stood behind the free-throw line.
Lightly shot, the basketball easily fell into the basket, the first free throw was hit, and then immediately after his own one more chance, another free throw shot, in the shot still feels very good.
But the damn basketball actually smashed on the edge of the hoop and jumped out all of a sudden, this is really a hell of a thing, Li Feng himself cursed, but now a qiē curse is useless, he only shot a free throw, this time the Bobcat has more chances.
Damn, really damn it, how can I do this, Li Feng, who only hit one ball, beat his chest in frustration, and then walked back to the rest seat, and now the Bobcat is arranging the final tactics.
Now in the game, the initiative is no longer in the hands of the Pelicans, which is the worst thing to do.
Li Feng returned to the bench and looked at his head coach Van Gundy, now the Pelicans have only two methods, dead defense, defending this round, winning by one point, or also using foul tactics to see what the Bobcats can do, and finally master the time to attack.
Either choose to believe, attack, or choose to believe in defense, it's as simple as that.
Van Gundy ended up opting for a defense he believed in, and it was the last choice the academy coach made.
At the end of the timeout, the two teams returned to the court, Kemba Walker took possession of the ball, and Van Gundy put Li Feng in front of the most important defender and used Li Feng to defend Kemba Walker.
This is this game, Li Feng came to defend Kemba Walker for the first time, and it was also the first time for Li Feng to defend such a player.
Li Feng came up and stuck it closely, mainly because he was not afraid of Kemba Walker's breakthrough, even if he broke through, he could follow from behind.
Li Feng clinged to Kemba Walker tightly, Kemba Walkton saw Li Feng like this, he didn't have much fear, this kind of shooting after close physical contact was originally the way he was good at scoring.
Kemba Walker, what he cares about most now is not Li Feng, but time, Coach Slive Crawford has already arranged it, and when the time comes, he will call it cover, and naturally leave Li Feng behind.
Kemba Walker didn't pay much attention to Li Feng, but just when Kemba Walker was not paying attention, Li Feng's arm quietly approached the basketball in Kemba Walker's hand from the meter.
With a slight click, the basketball fell out, and in the final moments of the game, Kemba Walker was waiting for time to make the final blow, because Kemba Walker was also not familiar with Li Feng's defensive range, and he was actually cut off.
As soon as the ball broke, the whole court immediately exclaimed, and Kemba Walker also felt a chill in his heart, he pounced and wanted to snatch the basketball back, but Li Feng easily stretched out his long arm and took the basketball into his hand first.
Li Feng, who got the basketball, rushed directly towards the backcourt of the Bobcats. This is the Pelicans' best chance, definitely the best time to overtake, Li Feng is very aware of his advantages, and rushed towards the Bobcats' half with the ball.
Li Feng suddenly broke the basketball at this time, and the Bobcat and Pelican players were stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted, and rushed towards the Bobcat's half court together like a tide.
Li Feng held the basketball without a trace of hesitation, and directly advanced wildly in the middle, and arrived at the three-point line of the Bobcats, at this time the Bobcats stood in front of him only McKekey and Sessions.
Li Feng thought to himself. Even if it is good to make a foul, he didn't look at the sides, he flew towards the basket, Li Feng just hugged the basketball here and was about to fly, he felt that his hands were hugged by others all of a sudden.
Who is it?
It was the little-known Sessions, and when Sessions was just holding the ball in Li Feng, Sessions suddenly inserted his hand into Li Feng's hand, desperately pulling the basketball back, and Li Feng got out of his hand all of a sudden. The basketball fell out.
In an instant, the basketball was back in the hands of the Bobcats, and the whole court was shocked at this point, and things took a turn for the worse.
After Li Feng lost the basketball, he immediately glanced at the 24-second timer. With 8 seconds left, Sessions hadn't decided who to pass the basketball to, and Li Feng immediately held Sessions in his arms.
Sessions originally thought that Li Feng was robbing himself, but he didn't expect it. This guy actually hugged himself directly, Li Feng reacted quickly and hugged Sessions, and Van Gundy only breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
The game is now. The initiative is back in the hands of the Pelicans, and the Bobcats fans were stunned at first, and then they all reacted, and Li Feng now took away what belonged to them.
Albert also exclaimed:
"Li Feng's reaction was too fast, although he buried a fast attack, but he immediately thought of how to deal with it, and now with Li Feng's hug, the Bobcats can only go to the free throw line, and the next 8 seconds will all belong to the Pelicans, now it's up to Sessions' free throws!"
Sessions is now beginning to understand that he just glanced at his teammates and gave them away.
Sessions shrugged his head and walked to the free throw line nonchalantly, and now this guy really regrets it, but he still has to make free throws.
Sessions sat down to prepare for the move, and under the watchful eye of the whole court, he hit both free throws to put the Bobcats up by one point.
Then the Pelicans began to lay out the next tactic, and Van Gundy happily slapped Li Feng at this time and said:
"Okay, Li Feng, I thought we were finished, fortunately we still have a chance now, as long as we don't let them catch us, remember not to let them catch us!"
After the Pelicans' tactics are arranged, it is still Al Jefferson who kicks off on the sideline, Al Jefferson's height and vision have an incomparable advantage when he kicks off, he can take care of the entire court when he stands on the sideline, and ordinary players can't do this.
But in the position, the Pelicans use more retro tricks, which are not very popular now, in the free-throw line war in a bunch, or in a row, Van Gundy used a very scattered way.
The players stood in all directions, and as soon as the whistle blew, it was seen that the entire Pelicans half court was in chaos.
At this point, Ross suddenly highlighted his running characteristics, that is, deceitful and unpredictable, he stuck to Sessions, ran suddenly with his hand to push underneath, and then immediately turned around.
Sessions didn't expect that the other party was so cunning, and Rose ran out of the empty seat at once, and at the same time, Al Jefferson's basketball went to Rose's hands, and Biyombo swung his arms back and forth in front of Al Jefferson, but he didn't expect Al Jefferson to stuff the basketball out under his armpit.
Rose got the basketball, he became the target of Sessions, Sessions pounced on Rose like a wolf, Rose knew that holding the ball was not his advantage, and after dodging for a while, he immediately threw the basketball at Millsap in front of him.
Millsap was by Cordilleze's side, he didn't dare to catch the ball at all, and when he saw the basketball coming, he seemed to be playing volleyball, and immediately dialed the basketball to Li Feng in front of him.
Li Feng is the object of the Bobcat's key care, the ball is coming towards Li Feng, and McKekey next to Li Feng is ready to start, but Li Feng can't let McKekey succeed at this time.
After receiving the basketball in the air with one hand, Li Feng did not catch it back at all, but made a reverse fish, giving McKekey the feeling that Li Feng passed the ball behind the basketball or dribbled the ball behind his back.
He stretched out his head to look behind him, but he didn't see the basketball, he stretched out his head, and immediately missed the opportunity, Li Feng caught the ball with one hand and threw it back, but the ball did not get out of his hand, it was still in his hand, which attracted McKekey's attention.
Li Feng rushed out in one step, out of McKekey's control, and then the Time Warner Center Arena immediately exclaimed, McKekey also felt shameless after being deceived by Li Feng, and immediately turned back to chase Li Feng.
People who don't dribble want to foul on the dribblers, it's too simple, McKekey pounced on Li Feng like crazy, Li Feng is the kind of player who runs very fast, it's okay, but Li Feng is not, at this time Li Feng only passed, and the pass went to the hands of Oladipo who ran up behind.
