Chapter 718: Fierce and domineering
When he arrived at the court, Dross also gave Li Feng face, and first passed the basketball to Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng held the ball near the horns, took the ball and stood up directly with three threats, retreated with his right foot, and then suddenly took a step forward.
suddenly opened up the distance with Garcia, this distance is said to be widened, but in fact, it is only half a step, but half a step is enough for Li Feng.
The space was opened, Li Feng directly pulled up and jumped, smashed the basketball towards the rebound, threw out a wipe board shot, the basketball "slammed" into the rebound, and then fell directly into the rocket's basket.
When Li Feng arrived at the court, he neither played long-range shooting as Van Gundy said, nor did he force a low post and forced a breakthrough, but Li Feng used his height and bounce advantage to make a mid-range jumper.
Seeing Li Feng hit like this, Hubi Brown slapped the table and shouted:
"Clever! Wonderful, really second. ”
Huby Brown suddenly screamed like a nervous nerve, and Antoine Walker looked at Hubi Brown with strange eyes.
At this time, Hubie Brown reacted, and only then did he overreact. He shook his head before saying:
"Li Feng's idea is very wonderful! I just thought about it before, Li Feng had to shoot more three-pointers and long-range shots to help the Pelicans. ”
"But I didn't think that if Li Feng relied on his size and bouncing advantage to stand firm in the middle range, it would actually be the Pelicans to provide a fulcrum. Let the Pelicans' tactics change from disorder to order. Although this method still does not solve the three-point problem, it can greatly improve the efficiency of the Pelicans' half-court offense. Li Feng really has a flexible brain! That kind of player, if only I could find it in the Grizzlies. ”
Hubbie Brown muttered on the side, then thought of himself.
Antoine Walker rarely saw Hubie Brown's "gaffe" level, and he didn't speak on the side.
After a long time of looking at where Hubi Brown was rambling on his own, Hubi Brown ended his irrepressible excitement.
Li Feng played like this, and suddenly let Van Gundy and McHale also. The two head coaches on both sides changed their expressions at the same time.
The Rockets came over to attack again, because Van Gundy arranged the defense, so this time the Rockets attacked, and the Pelicans defended very fiercely, the Pelicans were a meat grinder on offense, and they were also a meat grinder on the defensive side.
The Pelicans' defense is very good, with a lot of physical contact and a lot of pressing. This kind of defensive method, Li Feng likes it very much. So Li Feng came over and played very well on the defensive end.
The Rockets were very uncomfortable with the Pelicans' defense, and Greg Smith was cut off by Millsap before he received the basketball.
Millsap broke the ball, the Pelicans' fast break immediately ran up, Arenas, Li Feng, and Rose pushed wildly towards the Rockets' half on the third line.
At this time, Millsap habitually passed the ball to Arenas, and Arenas's speed can be displayed to the greatest extent in the fast break. He was the Pelicans' No. 1 point in the fast break, so Millsap hit him first.
But after all, Harden is younger than Arenas, and it seems that Harden has worked out with the Knicks. Unlike in his previous life, the defense is quite passable, and Harden's body is even better than Arenas.
came up and suppressed Arenas, and Arenas was clearly suppressed. The general was angry, and he directly forced a shot, but he threw the basketball too high, and it was a failure to make a layup at a glance.
At this time, Antoine Walker just wanted to say:
"Arenas, too, is too reluctant. His current number is due to the Pelican's tactical system, not his personal ability, don't be impulsive, general! ”
Just see Li Feng rushing up from the left. Received the basketball in the air, then changed hands in the air to open Harden's block, changed to his left hand and slammed the basketball into the Rockets' basket.
Li Feng came up and made up for Harden's successful dunk, but this time, the New Orleans Arena suddenly set off a huge wave.
"Boom, boom...... Li Feng...... Li Feng ......! ”
A series of cheers were deafening, and the fans in New Orleans were now finally satisfied with Li Feng.
Li Feng made a mid-range, and then succeeded in making up for Harden, and the New Orleans had already been conquered by Li Feng
At this time, Rose couldn't help but mutter:
"Li Feng made up for it through James! Li Feng actually succeeded in making up the dunk for James. ”
Rose has reason to be amazed, you must know that with James Harden's body, it is difficult to dunk on his head, but now Li Feng has done it.
Harden, the little brother who was scored by Li Feng on the head, is now a little depressed, and his supplementary defense is completely in place.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Feng's body seemed to be out of the category of human beings, and he actually caught the ball in the air, and the change of hands could stay at the apex for so long.
Harden has not been with the Knicks for a long time, and he has been the king and hegemon in Houston, and he has long forgotten Li Feng's strength, and now he seems to be a little reminded of it, and he can't help but shiver.
The Rockets were chased by the Pelicans by 4 points in a row, and now there are only 2 points left, and at this time Harden is not polite to the Pelicans' half to get the ball.
He also began to gradually fire up all his power, calling a Greg Smith cover in possession, and then Harden broke straight to the right, and it was Paul Millsap who was replaced by Paul Millsap, who was already an extremely strong muscular man.
But against such a muscular man, Harden still didn't care about it at all, and he pressed Millsap hard and rushed up to the basket.
From this point of view, Harden Garnett is really good, and he actually forced the rice god, Millsap's pace was a little slower, allowing Harden to break through to the Pelicans' basket at once, and then get up and throw a throw towards the rebound.
Harden is very good at using rebounds to make baskets, and the basketball goes directly into the basket, and Harden has always been mainly organizing the offense, and he scores relatively little. Now that Li Feng scored two points on his head, he immediately came over and scored by himself, which shows that Harden was also stimulated by Li Feng.
The score stretched to 4 points again, the Pelicans quickly pushed over, Derrick Rose came up and forced himself to break through to the baseline first, and then quickly found someone to pass the basketball to Arenas.
Arenas didn't stop catching the ball, and immediately broke through again, inserting into the inside of the Rockets, and the situation was already very chaotic after the two of them stirred the inside line.
At this time, Arenas turned around and passed the basketball to Li Feng, according to the Pelicans' previous offensive routine. At this time, Li Feng should also rush to the inside line to make a layup or create a kill.
But Li Feng didn't move after receiving the ball, and he stopped his rhythm all of a sudden. This time, the rocket's defense immediately eased, and when Arenas saw that Li Feng actually stopped, he immediately shouted loudly:
"Quick, quick, quick, attack."
General Arenas was angry today, and he was very dissatisfied with Li Feng stopping the ball, he immediately ran out to catch Li Feng's ball, but he just ran out with his front foot. Li Feng immediately sent a quick ground-hitting pass to the hands of Al Jefferson who was in the open space under the basket.
Al Jefferson took the ball to the basket and beat Asik, which was too close for Asik to defend.
Al Jefferson scored an easy basketball score!
Li Feng sent another assist to help the team easily score points.
Li Feng sent an assist, and the Rockets immediately kicked off the baseline, and then ran towards the Pelicans' halfcourt.
Harden received the ball near the center circle and possessed the ball to the top of the arc, where Harden suddenly passed to Garcia on one side.
Li Feng just focused on Harden, ready to help defend at any time, and basketball came over. He wasn't in place the first time.
In this way, Garcia raised his hand and made a feint, and Li Feng only jumped up in an emergency, but as soon as Li Feng jumped, Garcia took a step to the side. Then you just get up and want to shoot.
Garcia thought that he had deceived Li Feng all of a sudden, but he didn't expect that Li Feng not only had the ability to jump high, but also the ability to jump continuously was extremely strong.
He didn't get up until the second time. Li Feng immediately blocked it after he landed, and with a snap, Li Feng directly blocked Garcia's shot.
Li Feng blocks down Garcia's shot. Turning around and picking up the basketball and running towards the Rockets' halfcourt, Garcia ran after Li Feng.
Li Feng was very fast when he started, but after half the time, the speed suddenly slowed down, the rhythm changed, Garcia was about to step forward to harass, Li Feng suddenly cut in and threw off Garcia at once.
Li Feng just used the rhythm to throw Garcia away, and when he reached the three-point line, Li Feng glanced inside and saw that Arenas and Millsap were near the basket.
This Li Feng was unexpected, stopped, got up and suddenly threw a three-point shot.
Li Feng shot three points at this time, and he was different from others in rhythm, Garcia didn't expect it, the Rockets players didn't expect it, and the Pelicans' teammates didn't expect it.
But thinking about Li Feng's three-point shot at the right time, there was no one in front of him, there was a strong rebound under the basket, and the shot was just right.
Li Feng threw out a three-point shot, which was beyond everyone's judgment, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc.
"Huh!" A crisp fall fell into the basket of the rocket, and the crisp friction sound made people's hearts feel cool.
Li Feng scored consecutive points, and the fans at the Pelicans' home arena, New Orleans, were overjoyed.
Li Feng hit a three-point throw, and the difference was shortened to one point all of a sudden. At this time, the rocket is also a little anxious, and it looks like it is about to be caught up!
But at this time, the Pelicans' defense is also unusually tough, even Harden, the "No. 1 scoring guard in history", it is difficult to smash a hard walnut like the Pelicans.
Defensively, the Pelicans were indeed several levels better than the Rockets, and in the end, Harden was forced to shoot a jumper near the three-point line, missed the shot, and Millsap got a rebound in the backcourt.
The Pelicans defense also succeeded, pushing into the Rockets' position, and Derrick Rose bullied Beverley as usual.
He immediately habitually broke through and passed to Li Feng's hands, Li Feng took the ball in his hand, the rhythm suddenly slowed down, he took the ball and looked to the side, as if he wanted to pass the ball, and Garcia, who was defending him, immediately looked in the direction that Li Feng was looking at.
Garcia revealed such a flaw, and Li Feng suddenly burst forward and tore the Rocket's defense directly from the middle.
Li Feng was slow for a moment, but at this moment, Li Feng was extremely fast and furious.
Greg Smith just came over, and Li Feng had already flown above his head, grabbing the basketball with one hand.
"Bang!" smashed the basketball into the Rocket's basket, and Li Fengyan dunked Greg Smith.
The cheers at the New Orleans arena were even louder, and there was a history of the Pelicans playing so hard. New Orleans has always been a tough team, and their style has always been. So the natural team is tough, and the fans like that, if New Orleans plays the style of the Kings or the Suns. It is estimated that the fans will not come for a long time.
Li Feng slammed Greg Smith head-on, the fans were happy, and Van Gundy was suddenly thoughtful.
Li Feng won the praise of Hubby Brown at once.
Hubi Brown couldn't help but praise Li Feng when he sat on the bench:
Li Feng exerted his strength, and the team began to reverse, it can be said that Li Feng has completely controlled the Pelicans, such a player is the real beast forward, fierce and domineering. No one can be unconvinced! ”
Hubbie Brown praised Li Feng, and Antoine Walker also said on the side:
"Li Feng's performance is indeed very good, the Pelicans still have so many stars, Li Feng did not use his previous results or the team to put pressure at all, he took control of the situation, Arenas did not have any major incidents, and Jefferson and Millsap and others have long been looking forward to Li Feng, which is also an important reason why the Pelicans can win 19 consecutive games, and it is not necessarily a good thing for a team to have more stars. For example, the Miami Heat. ”
Both commentators spoke highly of Li Feng, and on the court, Derrick Rose, both insiders also felt that Li Feng was very powerful.
In this way, the game entered Li Feng's control. At this time, the Rockets fell into the Pelicans' defensive meat grinder, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans actually led the Rockets by as many as 5 points, ending the first quarter of the game with 30-25.
The Pelicans are very happy. New Orleans fans also think that Li Feng is very good, but the Rockets don't think so. They actually lost to the Pelicans in the first quarter, which really made them breathe this breath.
For this situation, McHale was secretly surprised. But he wasn't very worried, because he knew that there was a trick to deal with the pelican, and as long as he took out this trick, the pelican's arrogance would fall immediately.
As soon as the game opened, McHale really took out this hand of panacea, and he opened a 23 joint defense against the Pelicans at the beginning.
The whole team sticks to the restricted area and lets go of the 45-degree far corners on both sides, which is obviously that you want to shoot casually, but don't let you hit the basket.
This is a move against the Pelicans, who are not good at shooting three-pointers, you don't have three-point shooters, and you don't have big men who are low-post attackers, and I will kill you if I set up a joint defense.
Although the Pelicans' outside players can play low, but the big man plays the low post and the small man is different, the small man plays in the restricted area There are many taboos, the first is the difficulty of receiving the ball, in the middle of a bunch of arms, the small man's control area is small and difficult to catch the ball. Second, even if they receive the ball, the small man is more susceptible to the interference of the big man's defense, especially in the case of the opponent's joint defense, and it is difficult for the small man to attack in a pile of arms.
As soon as the rocket swung out in such an iron bucket array, sure enough, the Pelicans were in trouble and couldn't get in.
Breaking back and forth, breaking through and not getting in, so that the chance of fouling is small, and there are more mistakes on your own.
Breaking through is almost equal to sending points, and if you don't break through, you won't have a chance on the outside, and the shooting rate is extremely low.
In this way, the Pelicans' offense suddenly got stuck, and the Rockets took advantage of this opportunity to catch up with the score slowly.
In this process, Li Feng also found a way to use his height to force a shot on Garcia's head.
But since the Rockets are defending a joint defense, Li Feng has to face more than just one person, so it is difficult for Li Feng to bargain on Garcia's head, and even if he gets a bargain, it is impossible for Li Feng to kill the opponent by shooting alone.
Van Gundy saw Li Feng on the sidelines that there was no way to take this situation, and he also replaced Li Feng in the middle of the second quarter.
Li Feng was replaced, Van Gundy regretted that Li Feng's middle and long distance was still not stable enough. However, Arenas was a little happy, and when he saw that Li Feng was also deflated, he thought to himself that you were nothing more than that.
Li Feng was replaced, and Li Feng, sitting on the sidelines, thought about it very seriously, why is his strategy not good? Is it the reason for the complete texture?
Li Feng asked himself a question, and then he came up with an answer on his own. With this result, I still want to take advantage of it too much.
It's too easy to think about breaking down your opponent with your own shots! A person's feel is unreliable, any team known for projection must have a large number of shooters in captivity, and will never rely on the shooting of one or two people, shooting this thing relies on the feel, and the feel is very unreliable.
It's really lazy that I want to use my own Zhongtou to solve all the problems.
It seems that I have been choked like this now, and if I want to win, what I have to do is definitely not to throw blue casually. It's desperate, really desperate with the other party, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, either they smash open the iron bucket array of the rocket, or they are smothered in it by the iron bucket array of the rocket.
Li Feng thought of this, his mind began to clear, and his eyes returned to the court.
Li Feng was replaced, and Hubi Brown, who served as the commentator at this time, also said with regret:
"Li Feng was replaced! At the beginning of the second quarter, his efficiency was not high, but this was not entirely Li Feng's reason. After all, the Pelicans' lineup is like this, and the 19-game winning streak is not just a result, it's also a pressure, no matter what the outcome, the Pelicans are respectable. ”
Hubie Brown left hope behind, and Antoine Walker agreed. (To be continued......)
