Chapter 691: Li Feng vs Kobe

Pau Gasol scored consecutive points and finally stabilized the Lakers, and in this case, Director Zhang immediately explained on the domestic side:

"It's a bit of a flavor today. The Lakers took a few points off the bench in the second quarter. Li Feng came up and immediately had an excellent table, Li Feng had a table, and now Pau Gasol also has a table. It's just Kobe! ”

At the New Orleans Arena, Gary Payton saw that the situation had changed for a while, and he immediately said:

"Today's game looked like both sides were very committed and the game was very anxious. The hottest players on the pitch right now are Pau Gasol and Li Feng, two European and Asian stars! ”

"Yes! Both of these international players played well today, and the victory or defeat of both teams also depends on their successive performances. ”

Tim Hardaway was saying the same thing at this time, the Pelicans quickly pounced on the Lakers' half, and the Pelicans were very fast.

Li Feng picked up the ball and shot from a distance for the fourth time, and this time Li Feng finally missed the shot. Anyway, no matter how good Li Feng is, there is a chance to shoot, and Li Feng can't hit every shot.

Li Feng finally missed, and he had no choice. But after Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound under the basket, he happily passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant took the ball and walked slowly towards the Pelicans' halfcourt, Li Feng stole Kobe in the past, but Kobe was also a player with strong ball control ability.

He was not afraid of Li Feng's steal, and dribbled the ball under his crotch to protect the basketball well, but when Brewer, who was on the side, saw that Li Feng stole Kobe, he immediately came over to wrap Kobe.

But Kobe Bryant has long been used to it, and when the two of them wrapped him up, Kobe Bryant threw the basketball out directly on the heads of Li Feng and Brewer and passed it to Sean Williams, who answered outside.

Sean Williams took the ball and saw that there was an open space, and immediately fired directly to shoot three points. But Sean Williams didn't shoot this three-point shot.

The basketball went straight down, and it was between Ryan Kelly and Brand, and the two of them fought for the ball together. After raising the basketball high, it was caught by Pau Gasol from the side.

Pau Gasol got the ball under the Pelicans' basket, and this finishing ability was too strong, and Paul Millsap went to pounce on Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol flicked his elbow past Paul Millsap, then flicked his left hand, still with a hook.

The basketball easily fell into the Pelicans' basket, and Pau Gasol, who scored consecutive points, still did not forget to demonstrate to Li Feng and winked at Li Feng.

And after Pau Gasol scored, Tim Hardaway also exclaimed:

"Pau Gasol is such a tall stature. And this silk-like feel is really rare. And the left and right hands will hook hands, and the left and right sides will turn around and attack. This kind of inside line is really hard to find now, and it may become extinct in the future. ”

Seeing that Pau Gasol came up to score consecutive points, a little uncontrollable, Van Gundy shook his head on the side.

The Pelicans' offense has always been quite free, and when they encountered a problem at this time, they immediately sent the basketball to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng took the ball to see the Lakers' defense, or Shaun Williams to limit himself. followed by a Ryan Kelly at any time, and at the same time, the entire Lakers lineup shrunk very small, very small, and the Lakers obviously gave up on the periphery. Block the play near the penalty area.

In the face of this kind of defense, Li Feng made a double cover gesture towards Paul Millsap and Brand, and then saw Brand and Paul Millsap cover together and make a double human wall. In this way, it looks like the Lakers' interior line is all empty all of a sudden.

At this time, Brewer, who was waiting at the bottom corner, quickly came out to cut the bottom line. Towards the basket came to the basket.

Li Feng took a step to the side of the dribble, and then passed the ball vigorously to the hands of Brewer under the basket, although Brewer took the ball at this time.

But he still couldn't carry Kobe under the basket, so he could only quickly pass the ball to DJ Augustin outside, and DJ Augustin had too much advantage in the face of Marshall. DJ Augustin took a probing step and threw a three-pointer when he got up.

This ball can't be blocked on the Lakers' side, that is, after the Lakers Paul Gasol scored consecutive points, the Pelicans also opened the door to the Lakers.

The two teams are playing more and more sophisticated, looking for each other's gaps, and then scoring by themselves, D'Antoni saw that he couldn't let Marshall continue to be exposed, and immediately replaced Jordan Farmar.

On the Lakers side, Paul Gasol is the main combination of inside and outside, and the Pelicans continue to empty each other, and the two teams are playing hot, but the point difference just can't be opened.

Pau Gasol felt really good in the second quarter, and he played well when he was not caught at first, and then even if he was trapped, the action was deformed Pau Gasol was still able to score the ball. In this case, the Lakers can eat on the inside, and there will be an opportunity to shoot on the outside.

In the second quarter, the Lakers played a completely combination of inside and outside, while the Pelicans focused on fast offense and half-court passing shots.

The two teams are at different paces, but the Pelicans can't limit Pau Gasol can't limit the Lakers' combination of inside and outside.

Combining this classical style of play inside and outside, the main thing is to attract firepower on the inside line, and the crazy three-point line on the outside.

The outside line doesn't have a strong three-point ability, and the inside line can't be opened, and the Lakers' outside three-point shooting is not bad today.

Kobe Bryant, Jordan Farmar and Sean Williams all hit three-pointers. In this way, the Lakers played smoothly, and the Pelicans' defense was also left and right.

The Pelicans can't defend the opponent, but the Lakers can't prevent the Pelicans' double interior shots.

With Paul Millsap and Brand both having long-range shots, Pau Gasol, who the Lakers have killed on the offensive end, must be pulled out. Once Pau Gasol is pulled out, it will be much easier for the Pelicans to hit the basket and break through.

Among the Lakers' several interior lines, there is no big man who is good at helping to defend the interior, and the Pelicans are accurate in playing this point.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams fought to a close match, and 56-56 were tied.

The second half started with the Lakers' ball, and at this time all the Lakers' main players returned, and Wesley Johnson also returned.

Wesley Johnson was beaten by Li Feng in the first half and didn't play much time, and once he came back at this time, he was menacing.

The opening Lakers' offense was launched from Wesley Johnson, who took the ball on the baseline and then rushed up like crazy to beat Arenas.

Arenas is not in bad health. But he doesn't have Wesley Johnson's barefoot and shoe vibe.

When he made contact with Wesley Johnson, he was given a dark elbow by Wesley Johnson, and Arenas flinched and wanted to appeal to the referee. Wesley Johnson is a mid-range, and Wesley Johnson actually scored.

After scoring, several players on the Pelicans' side complained to the referee about Wesley Johnson's elbow just now.

However, the referee said that he did not see it, and Arenas could only admit that he had suffered a loss.

Wesley Johnson was very proud at this time, what about the general, he wasn't bullied by me!

Wesley Johnson scored two points and the Lakers temporarily led the Pelicans.

The Pelicans played half a game with the Lakers, and they also figured out some of the Lakers' fiction. The Lakers now look fully staffed, but Kobe Bryant doesn't dare to exert his strength, he must have old injuries on his body, and it is definitely no problem to start playing from Kobe.

At this time, in the Lakers' half, the Pelicans still habitually opened two interior lines that could shoot, and then began to intersperse runs.

At this time, Li Feng took the ball on the side to see that Wesley Johnson was still coming to defend himself, and Kobe Bryant was going to defend Arenas.

Li Feng saw Wesley Johnson at this time, although it was still difficult to hide his anger, but at this time, Arenas was already in the main position of the bottom line.

Li Feng hurriedly threw the basketball into the hands of Arenas on the baseline, and Arenas immediately beat Kobe Bryant when he got the ball.

Catch the ball and turn around on the baseline. Then he made a jump shot directly, Arenas's first step had already passed Kobe, and Kobe did not dare to make physical contact, but when Arenas turned his head and shot.

Bryant, however, has already reached Arenas' side. And he reached out and covered the front of Arenas.

Arenas made a jumper, but was interfered with by Kobe Bryant and missed the shot.

The Pelicans have made up their minds to play Kobe Bryant, but they don't have a great singles player. Arenas couldn't even deal with Kobe Bryant at this time.

Kobe Bryant in this period, although his mobility ability has declined, his confrontation ability has decreased. But the body and footsteps are basically there, and if you want to beat such a Kobe, you need a lot of strength.

Just as Arenas missed, Jordan Hill turned around and grabbed the rebound, and then gave it to Kobe Bryant quickly.

Kobe Bryant got the ball, Li Feng immediately came over, and Li Feng is now mainly defending Kobe. After all, Kobe Bryant's projection ability is still there, with Li Feng holding it back here, Kobe Bryant took the ball and passed the ball quickly to Wesley Johnson on the other side.

Wesley Johnson didn't care about the ball, rushing towards the Lakers' half, but he suffered a loss in the first half, and he was eager to get face back at this time.

But Wesley Johnson is really not material for dribbling, he weighs too much, and Wesley Johnson is like a duck when he runs with a basketball.

Wesley Johnson came here with the ball as if he were a duck, and he also played a change of direction in front of Arenas, trying to break through in front of Arenas.

Arenas is just stupid and will never be passed by Wesley Johnson, he suddenly got stuck in front of Wesley Johnson. Wesley Johnson forced a shot, but the shot was also missed, and the basketball was snatched back by the Pelicans.

Wesley Johnson wasted an offensive opportunity here, giving the Pelicans room to fight back, knowing that the Pelicans are a team that likes to play counter-attacks.

Brand under the basket grabbed the rebound and turned back to Li Feng, who took the ball to break through quickly and took a few steps to the Lakers' half. Wesley Johnson is slow over there, and he hasn't come back yet! Jordan Famar, who was facing Li Feng, easily got up and threw a small mid-range shot near the penalty area.

This is a shot very close to the basket, but Li Feng didn't shoot, and the basketball rolled out directly.

Li Feng was also extremely annoyed when he saw that he didn't score so closely, and Jordan Farmar turned around and picked up a rebound.

Jordan Farmar picked up the rebound and turned around and made a strong pass to Jordan Hill, who hadn't run yet.

Jordan Hill took the ball and looked back at Paul Millsap beside him, and he immediately dribbled the ball towards the basket.

Jordan Hill's characteristics are good skills, dribbling skills are also good, and Paul Millsap is desperately defending.

Jordan Hill also had a chance to coquettishly play a spin dribble, leaving Paul Millsap, who was weak defensively, behind.

Jordan Hill turned around and made a low-handed layup far from the basket. Jordan Hill made such a difficult layup with the ball, and he actually made a shot.

The Lakers opened with four straight points. All of a sudden, the difference with the Pelicans was slightly widened.

At this time, at this time, the Pelicans hurriedly returned to the Lakers' half to score points, Li Feng took the ball again, and then passed the ball to Al Jefferson outside, Li Feng himself went deep into the low post to play Wesley Johnson in the main position.

But when Li Feng was fighting desperately with Wesley Johnson, Al Jefferson was suddenly stealed by Jordan Hill outside.

Al Jefferson has seen several types of power forwards today, with a fierce one like Ryan Kelly, a sullen one like Thackeray, and now a bright one like Jordan Hill, and Al Jefferson is accidentally falling for Jordan Hill's way.

The basketball was immediately flown out by Jordan Hill. Jordan Farmar in the back grabbed the Pelicans' ball in the past.

Jordan Farmar grabbed the ball from the Pelicans, and when he saw that the fast break opportunity was not particularly good, Wesley Johnson was still behind, and Kobe Bryant was running slowly, so he could only stabilize the rhythm and play the half-court position.

If this kind of opportunity is obtained by the Pelicans, it must be played fast-break, but when the ball is in the hands of the Lakers, the fast-break will not be able to play at all.

The Lakers, on their side, stabilized and waited until the position was opened. Then Jordan Farmar passed the basketball to Pau Gasol on the inside.

Pau Gasol took the ball on the right side at this time, and when he got the ball on the right side, Pau Gasol had a direct stabbing jumper that no one could defend, and Pau Gasol was more dangerous on the right than on the left.

At this time, it was not Millsap who came up to defend Pau Gasol, but Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson had already pasted Pau Gasol, but Pau Gasol didn't care at all, his arm shook slightly, and he raised his hand to throw a mid-range.

Pau Gasol used such a simple and rustic action. Al Jefferson can't help it, it's really completely impossible.

Pau Gasol was too tall and had long arms. I could only watch the basketball fall behind me.

As a result, the Lakers came up and scored six points in a row, while the Pelicans didn't score a single point.

At this point, the Pelicans are really a little anxious, after all, six points are not a lot. Coming from the Lakers' side, Li Feng was also a little anxious, and took advantage of Al Jefferson's block to make a mid-range jumper.

But now Li Feng's hand feels really bad, and the basketball is not hit!

Li Feng missed the shot again, and Li Feng was depressed at this time, he knew that he couldn't shoot again today, and he didn't feel good today.

Wesley Johnson happened to go over and grab the basketball that Li Feng missed, and Wesley Johnson, who grabbed the basketball, immediately glared at Li Feng proudly. Then the basketball was passed to Kobe's hands, and Li Feng saw that Kobe had the ball again.

And he missed consecutive shots just now, and he immediately went over to grab the ball, after all, Kobe Bryant's center of gravity is relatively high.

But Li Feng came over here, and saw Kobe Bryant put the ball under his crotch all of a sudden, and then the ball with a very low center of gravity shook.

Li Feng also had no way to control the ball with this kind of ball, just when Li Feng hesitated to do it again.

Kobe Bryant took the ball and broke through one step, and then raised his hand to make a feint, Kobe was taller than Li Feng, and Li Feng wanted to block the opponent and inevitably jumped. But Li Feng jumped here, Kobe Bryant stopped, and when Li Feng flew up, he stuck to it and threw the basketball towards the basket.

Ahhh

When the audience at the scene saw that Li Feng had been deceived and fouled, they immediately exclaimed.

Li Feng also closed his eyes in the air, Nima! Someone smacked up! Kobe Bryant threw the ball out of Li Feng and landed accurately in the basket, Kobe's move was specially practiced.

Kobe Bryant's two points came in, and he had to go to the free throw line, and when he got to the free throw line, Kobe Bryant also hit a free throw.

As a result, the Pelicans were in danger, and the Lakers scored nine points in a row in the opening three minutes, but the Pelicans didn't score a single point because of mistakes and Li Feng's poor hand.

At this time, Director Zhang, who was in China, said:

"The Pelicans still rely too much on Li Feng, and Arenas' poor condition is also a factor, at this time the Pelicans should fight Rose, and Li Feng can't be allowed to fight alone!"

When Director Zhang said this, Yu Jia, who was on the side, nodded again and again:

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Just when Director Zhang was depressed about Li Feng's feelings, Gary Payton also said:

"Li Feng's few shots just now are really outrageous. In that case, he missed the shot, and this guy should go to special training to shoot. ”

"But what is more accurate than you!"

Tim Hardaway teased his old friend, and Gary Payton could only shake his head.

Van Gundy saw Li Feng's continuous misses, but he didn't have much anger, he knew that the player's state must have ups and downs, Arenas was not in good shape today, Rose was directly invisible, the Pelicans relied on Li Feng to play alone, and the opposite Lakers defended with wheels, Li Feng's body consumption was too great!

However, Van Gundy didn't say anything, he knew that Li Feng knew how to adjust his play, and at this time, Van Gundy didn't know that unconsciously, he already had enough trust in Li Feng.

This is Van Gundy, on the surface he is a rational person, but when he really meets a player he really likes, he will incarnate into the other extreme of sensibility! (To be continued......)
