Lillard's smile was so ironic in front of Rose's eyes, and with this ironic smile, even the movements of the entire Trail Blazers seemed weird, Batum, who was the quietest of the five Trail Blazers, suddenly started on one side, and did two cross-covers with his teammates in a row, and finally came to 45 degrees on the other side, and the ball was also in Batum's hands at this time.

It's still a three-pointer, it's still an open three-pointer, and this time Batum's shot is resolute, natural, without the slightest reluctance, as if it's just a training shot, and he's so calm.

The movements from the tips of the fingers to the tips of the toes are so smooth and stretching! If there were close-ups, maybe the New Orleans arena would have seen a nonchalant smile.

Batum's expression and the direction in which the ball flew were so relaxed, but with that crisp "boom", the fans of the New Orleans arena, the Pelicans players on the court, the head coach and the bench players outside the court all stood up quietly, which was a great blow, like a nail nailed to everyone's hearts.

At this time, the third quarter of the game went to 3 minutes and 48 seconds, and the Trail Blazers had completely completed the reversal, and the score of the two sides had become 67-63, and the Trail Blazers stood on the head of the Pelicans, leading the Pelicans by four points.

While the Pelicans players are ready for the Trail Blazers' stormy offense, the Pelicans know they have to take it!

But when the blow came, they still couldn't bear it, because the blow came too violently, too quickly, completely beyond their expectations, and they didn't even give the pelicans a chance to resist.

The Trail Blazers trampled the Pelicans under their feet, and even deprived them of the dignity of resisting, which started with Batum's shot, and the Pelicans couldn't help but panic in the pupils of the players on the court.

This panic was spied on by Stotts and the Trail Blazers players so lightly, because the appearance of this kind of emotion is often the beginning of their defeat of the other party, and with this psychological crack, the Trail Blazers' omnipresent offense will crush the opponent from all angles.

Millsap on the baseline. But at this time, because of the psychological impact, Millsap's irrepressible passing quality became worse when passing, the ball passed too far, and Rose was also affected a little psychologically, and he was a little more inert when receiving the ball, and did not rush to catch the ball.

The ball was grabbed from behind by Lillard, who pounced on him from behind, and when Lillard pounced and Rose had not received the ball, the New Orleans arena had a nervous cry, and now the New Orleans arena has been in the wind, and the Trail Blazers' counterattack is too dangerous, and the Pelicans can't stand the blow at this time.

Far from raising Ross's vigilance, this call did not raise Rose's vigilance. Instead, it distracted his spirit! At this moment's distraction, the ball was snatched in the hand by Matthews, who rushed up from behind.

"Ahh

As the ball was snatched away by Matthews, the exclamations of the New Orleans arena were all in one! However, Matthews didn't end his move, and after taking the ball away from Rose, Matthews immediately passed the ball to Batum, who was behind.

Or Batum!

After the ball reached Batum's hands, Li Feng, who was closest to Batum, had red eyes, and he pounced on Batum like a mad dog. This round of offensive by the Trail Blazers was started by him, and now he must be contained.

Li Feng pounced, but what he saw was a wooden expression on Batum's loyal face, and Batum's hands pushed the ball into the hands of Aldridge on the inside.

At this point, Aldridge was caught between Millsap and Al Jefferson. Batum passed the ball to Aldridge at this time, but threw a bomb at Aldridge, and Millsap and Al Jefferson were ready to shoot at Aldridge at the same time.

At this time, Aldridge, who has always played more traditionally, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and after receiving the ball, he made a pass backwards, and Millsap and Al Jefferson saw that Aldridge was going to pass the ball, and the defense was a little lax!

But Aldridge took advantage of this little defensive slackness, he raised his hand and gently put the ball to the Pelicans' basket, and actually deceived Millsap and Al Jefferson into throwing the ball in!

This extended the Trail Blazers' lead. Bill Wharton looked at David Wesley's dead face, and he laughed out loud:

"Hey! David Wesley, it's not that you said that the Pelicans are a team that is not inferior to the Trail Blazers! Isn't that what you said? ”

"But look at how ugly they're losing now! Teased by Aldridge and Lillard. There was no room for resistance at all, and the score of the two teams was pulled apart instead! Do you still insist that the Pelicans are not inferior to the Trail Blazers? ”

Bill Walton's tone was full of sarcasm, and Van Gundy finally couldn't take it anymore and called a long timeout after Aldridge hit the ball that played the joke.

At this time, the Pelicans players who walked back to the rest bench did not care about the wind, but their faces were very ugly, like the expression of a coward after watching a horror movie, and his face was pale.

And Rose frowned even more, this mistake was all caused by himself, damn Trailblazer, damn Matthews, Rose's eyebrows and eyes were full of resentment, and Van Gundy looked at Li Feng again at this time.

He saw not a face of despair, nor a look of discouragement, but an angry, but not irrational, eyes full of will to fight.

Van Gundy knew that Li Feng would be like this, and he knew that the most valuable thing in this guy's body was not those extraordinary physicos and calm court appearances, but the firm heart that would not give up and would not stop fighting no matter what.

Seeing Li Feng like this, Van Gundy knew that the game was not over at all, and he said loudly:

"Li Feng, it's time for you to play, don't be in the provincial body, you look good if you lose"

After saying that, he immediately called all the players to his side and said:

"Caron, you replace Al, I will send you to the field, the most important thing is not to get points, but to curb their attack and consume their bodies! That's what we're going to do. ”

"Isn't the Trail Blazers' defense crazy! Didn't they try to put pressure on the ball? So we're going to have to put more pressure on them now to see who has the better defense. ”

Van Gundy said that there is some spirit here, he may really not be as good as the Trail Blazers on offense, but Van Gundy has not lost to anyone on defense.

As soon as the Pelicans players came on the court after the timeout, Bill Wharton looked down with concern and saw the Pelicans' five small players, and he immediately smiled:

"Van Gundy is completely insane! He's really crazy, he's actually sent out five little guys, what does he want to do, does he want to play basketball against the Trail Blazers! This is self-defeating! ”

Bill Wharton pointed at the Pelicans and taunted loudly, David Wesley would not have said anything good out of his big mouth if he wasn't in the commentary seat today, if he wasn't in public.

Even so, Wesley couldn't stand Wesley anymore. He made a contemptuous look at Bill and said:

"You think it's ridiculous, don't you? You must know that although the Trail Blazers are leading now, the initiative is no longer in their hands, and I don't know how long all the main forces of the Trail Blazers can hold out when they continue to fight like this. ”

"Stotts' current counterattack is just hoping to drown the Pelicans with a wave of offense, but this is unrealistic, after replacing the small man, Van Gundy will use his solid defensive pincers to jam the neck of the Trail Blazers, and then the victory will belong to the Pelicans."

Before the Trail Blazers and Pelicans could start fighting, Wesley and Bill Wharton were fighting each other, and the popularity of the game was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

The game resumes with the Pelicans possessing the ball. Five Pelicans players slowly ran to the Trail Blazers' half, and it was also interesting to see the shape of the players on both teams at this time, Li Feng, Millsap, and Butler. Rose, Arenas, are all strong guys.

And what about the Trail Blazers, Lillard. Matthews, Batum, Dorrell Wright. These are all very skinny, skinny players, different body types, and completely different styles of play, after the Pelicans' offense is played, it is like a set of powerful punches, layered on top of each other, one move after another, powerful and continuous.

After arriving at the Trail Blazers' half, it was a variant of a tactic that combined the traditional pull tactics with misplaced singles, with Kaloon Butler and Li Feng running low cover from one side one after another, Li Feng first running out of the low post to receive the ball from the low post of Guò Millsap and Li Feng, and then dribbling backwards to see Kaloon Butler and him running a line from this side.

This method of running position is very simple to say, but there are many places that need to be controlled in the details, such as the quality of the cover, the running position and the passing position, which are all very delicate work, but once you run out of this kind of cooperation, it looks very beautiful, just look at the players like an assembly line, all running out in one direction after another, and then scattering, the ball is not messy, this feeling is not like a basketball game, but like a queue performance.

Seeing this cooperation, Van Gundy was very happy, and this time his players finished with high quality.

Li Feng immediately passed the ball to Caron Butler, who ran out of the field, and then immediately ran outside the three-point line to pull out the space, and Millsap, who was behind Caron Butler, also ran to the weak side of the high post, and the space under the basket was also emptied.

At this time, the two people left in the low position are Li Feng and Dorrell Wright, and Caron Butler also focused all his attention on his own ground, just when everyone was waiting to see Caron Butler's attack, they saw that this guy seemed to throw the ball casually and threw the ball to Li Feng on the inside.

As soon as Li Feng received the basketball, Stotts and everyone suddenly appeared, Li Feng's position was already very deep, and Dorrell Wright behind him had been completely pressed behind.

Li Feng caught the basketball, and then licked it up and down with difficulty seemingly casually, and simply scored two points, and the complex tactical coordination finally caused the result to be able to make it easier for the players to score points.

67-65, the Pelicans recovered two points.

Dorrell Wright was on the baseline, but as soon as he got the ball out, the momentum was not right, because there were already two people around Lillard.

After Lillard received the ball, Rose and Li Feng instead forced him near the sideline, which was a real unexpected blow, this is his own trick to deal with Rose!

Now the Pelicans have taken it out and used it on their own body, and due to lack of preparation, Lillard's position is not very good, and he can't break through with three or two shots.

It's also a tight defense, the Trail Blazers use it looks fierce but it's not a defense that can kill people, and now the Pelicans feel completely different as soon as they appear pressing the defense, and the Trail Blazers just grab this one that makes people feel fierce. But the Pelicans' defense is like a big mountain, pressing down on your back, so that you can't turn over at all.

Lillard was besieged in the middle, and there was no way but to throw the ball at Lillard in a hurry, and then the Pelicans' defensive characteristics appeared, and a good defensive characteristic is to have control and pressing, forcing you to make the moves they want.

Lillard's pass seemed successful, but he stepped into the Pelicans' trap, and what they were looking for was to get Lillard to pass a high tossed horizontal pass, and as soon as his ball came out, Crumon Butler flew up from behind, a little in front of Lillard. Flew the ball out.

The ball that went out was pushed away by Li Feng, who was in a hurry back, and Dorrell Wright grabbed it in his hand, and then passed the ball to Rose, and the Pelicans took the other way, and after stealing the ball from the Trail Blazers, they began to attack.

If Batum's goal just now was crucial for the confidence and morale of the Trail Blazers, then now the Pelicans' counterattack is also absolutely crucial, if this goal is achieved, the two teams will immediately turn into a draw, and then it may be a tug-of-war! If it doesn't work, it's still backward.

Rose also understood the importance of the ball, and after receiving the ball, he grasped it steadily. Waiting for Millsap to also enter the position, Ross is steady, but Lillard's mentality is a bit broken.

He pounced on Rose and gambled on it, and he was used to seeing people in Rock Park who were in a hurry to lose like that, and Rose naturally knew how to deal with such a situation.

The best tranquilizer for them is to hit them like humiliation. Rose dodged his hand and twisted his body, immediately dodged Lillard's dangerous snatch, and then broke through into the Trail Blazers' three-second zone in one step.

Now the Trail Blazers are executing a small lineup, and the defense on the inside is already weak, and the only big man, Aldridge, is not a qualified box protection, and Rose breaks through. In the Trail Blazers' half, it was seen that the Trail Blazers' defensive level was broken! Dorrell Wright and Aldridge, who were assisting in the defense, pounced in that direction.

This trick may be effective against a lot of hot-blooded ** players, but Rose is only a slippery head, a groundhog on the streets of New York, and he sees a group of people rushing up. He threw the ball to Millsap, who was behind Aldridge.

After receiving the ball, Millsap gently brushed it on the rebound, and the ball went in! The score was equalized at once.

At this point, Stotts finally couldn't take it anymore, he was already shouting, but the New Orleans arena couldn't hear his roar, and a pelican became indestructible in the hearts of the Comse fans.

Millsap's final goal was not even a violent dunk, but a wipe board without love! That eraser is so difficult, without any emotional factor, but such a eraser is even more powerful than a violent buckle in connotation.

Interpret the meaning behind the smile:

There's a good chance you'll be able to decipher a sentence like this! Hey! We succeeded again. ”

In the face of the stormy attack of the Blazers, the Pelicans suddenly turned into iron, into steel, into a thunderous position! But at this time, the crazy adrenaline of the pioneers still did not subside.

Lillard received the ball again, and he was still facing a double attack, which was the last time he would nail the ground defense on the frame of shame, but at this time Lillard was already prepared, and the moment he received the ball, he immediately turned around and collapsed in a big stride.

Lillard's first step still has that huge amplitude and light style! It was only one step that drilled out of the gap between Rose and Li Feng before they could close, and smashed the Pelicans' defense.

This step he came out of Lillard, not only liberated himself, but also liberated the entire team, you must know that at the moment when Lillard took this step, the Trail Blazers formed a 5-on-3 against the Pelicans.

Lillard didn't let go of this opportunity, a quick pass to Batum in the frontcourt, and when the Pelicans barely wanted to defend Batum, he passed the ball to Aldridge who pulled out, which was a good opportunity to counterattack, and Aldridge made an easy shot near the baseline.

Again, 69-67, the Trail Blazers were unfazed by the Pelicans' defense, and here they stained their razor-sharp blades with blood.

The Pelicans, who had already experienced various blows, also began to grow up nervously, and they didn't care about the Trail Blazers' blows at all, got the ball, turned around and attacked the Trail Blazers.

After halftime, the Pelicans once again showed their tactical literacy, after using the pull practice tactics to form a misalignment, this time the Pelicans used a Princeton variant of play, Millsap and Li Feng did not fall into the low post after halftime, but stood in the two corners of the high horn area.

Pull up the overall defense line of the Trailblazers! After raising the Trail Blazers' defense, the Pelicans once again recreated the classic cross-screen along the screen, with Li Feng sending it to the low post.

Li Feng, who entered the low post, was entangled with Batum again, and in the past few battles between the two, Li Feng did not complete his task, but this time Li Feng's luck came.

After continuous turns, Batum was unexpectedly shaken by Li Feng without a center of gravity when he was confronting Li Feng, and was easily beaten into a small low position by Li Feng. (To be continued......)
