Chapter 994: Four pairs and five pairs
After playing the Warriors, the Pelicans' opponent is the Suns, who are not very strong.
Van Gundy sent a lineup of Marshall, Turner, Granger, Li Feng, Henson in this game, and Gasol and Jefferson were all on the bench, after all, the Suns were not good.
At the start of the game, the Suns won the jump ball battle and Henson lost to Ryan.
Point guard Isaiah Thomas took the ball, Isaiah Thomas rushed forward with the ball, Marshall's defense was very tough, although he did not have the upper hand in the confrontation, but he still firmly went up to block, Isaiah Thomas changed direction and wanted to get rid of him, but Marshall quickly reached out and almost steal the ball.
Isaiah Thomas was taken aback by Marshall's speed, and hurriedly put away the ball and passed it to Bledsoe, who came up to receive it, Bledsoe reached out to catch the ball, and a black shadow rushed over, directly dropping the ball he was about to reach, but fortunately, Bledsoe reacted quickly, fast and explosive, he turned around and hugged the ball, otherwise he would have been robbed at the beginning.
It's a pity that Turner ran into Bledsoe today, otherwise this sneak attack was designated.
The Pelicans' opening defensive pressure made Jeff Hornacek on the bench frown, and he studied the footage of all the Pelicans this season, and the pressure on the outside defense has never been so great, it is no longer normal.
The Pelicans' defensive strategy is to press on the outside and defend on the inside, and the main task of the guards is not to steal, but to compress the defense line to make the opponent unable to shoot in the middle and long range, and must enter the restricted area to shoot.
Li Feng's recent blocks have risen to an average of 4.7 per game, and he is approaching Mark Eaton's record.
This is also the reason why Li Feng blocks so much, his teammates are also assisting him, what he has to do is to accurately predict where the opponent may shoot, and then rush forward with lightning speed, using his bounce and bounce speed to block the opponent.
Bledsoe is like a calf, protecting the ball and turning around to squeeze Turner in, don't look at Turner's thinness, in fact, the energy contained in his body is absolutely terrifying, and the strength is not small at all, of course, it is still much worse than Bledsoe.
Although he only gained a gap from Turner, Bledsoe was like a loach in a crack in a stone, groaning and running over in two clicks, which was really worthy of his reputation as a bloody cloth.
P.J. Tucker shoved Granger sideways to pick it up, and Markieff Morris gritted his teeth and pestered Bledsoe.
Bledsoe's mid-to-long-range shooting doesn't need to be worried, his scoring means is to break through, break through and break through, from him, old Suns fans can see the shadow of the beetle Tim Hardaway, and it is more lethal.
PJ Tucker blocked Turner, Granger switched up, facing the murderous Granger, Bledsoe's expressionless face showed a smile, his knee twisted into a strange arc, and he pulled the ball to the side with his left hand and his right foot followed by a step forward to the left.
Seeing this, Granger subconsciously retreated, but Bledsoe twisted his waist and shook his shoulders like a wheel, and he was stunned to complete a fierce turn, sticking to Granger's waist and spinning quickly, rushing into the restricted area in two steps, facing Li Feng, who was jumping, he dodged in the air and dodged, and shook his hand to send the ball into the hoop.
However, Li Feng and Bledsoe's bodies inevitably collided together, Bledsoe was very strong, but Li Feng was a beast in the forbidden area, and he was directly knocked to the ground from the air.
After landing on the ground, Li Feng was a little embarrassed, he stretched out his hand to Bledsoe, who was stunned for a moment, and then also stretched out his hand to hold it together, and jumped up like a swordfish ashore.
There is not much pressure in the Suns penalty area, Markieff Morris is too thin and too short, Li Feng is very confident in beating him, the more troublesome is the bag, if nothing else, he will encounter a three-man bag, Ryan has not been out of the inside, PJ Tucker keeps aiming at him with those thief eyes, and tells him plainly, he will also go to cover him.
Marshall held the ball to the front court, he looked at Li Feng, and then broke through with his feet, his thin body bent slightly like a longbow that was pulled apart, Isaiah Thomas ran out with a negligence, and Li Feng lifted it up, obviously the two had to cooperate.
Everyone thought that Marshall would continue to break through to the inside line and then give Li Feng a chance, so Isaiah Thomas went directly into the restricted area to make up for the defense, and PJ Tucker also withdrew to prepare to assist in the defense, who knew that the breakthrough Marshall suddenly braked, and then surprised everyone, he did not stop the jump shot, but turned around and hit the three-point line, turned around again, he did not hesitate, shaking his hand is a three-point shot.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of the basketball falling to the net was very pleasant, but the fans were shocked by the treacherous attack of Marshall.
Li Feng and Marshall high-fived, and he exclaimed:
"Man, you have a big heart, and it feels like a microwave oven."
"But it's safer to play inside."
Turner teased.
Marshallese smiled on his handsome face, and he smiled:
"If we can get three points, then why should we get two points?"
Bledsoe happened to hear this, he looked at Marshall in surprise, although it was the first time to play against this guy, and he knew that this guy was very late in the draft, but he had a hunch that this kid's future was limitless.
Marshall is not only firm in attack, but also stronger in defense, he is also more familiar with Isaiah Thomas, the two have played against each other in college, so he will go up to entangle at any cost in a pair, once Isaiah Thomas uses his physical advantage to knock him away, then he immediately retreats two steps back and then deploys the defensive line to continue to entangle him.
Isaiah Thomas was a little annoyed, he was very angry by Marshall's provocation, the latter made him envious of a dragon just now, and this time he did the same, as a result, Marshall pestered him all the way to the inside line, and when he finally got the opportunity to shoot, Li Feng rushed up and gave him a big hat.
Turner rushed up like an arrow from the string, grabbed the ball and rushed down quickly, without even looking at his teammates and opponents, Bledsoe gritted his teeth and couldn't catch up, and the fans in the American Airlines Center arena were dumbfounded for a moment and didn't dare to blink, the two were too fast, they were afraid that they would miss some wonderful shots in the blink of an eye.
The fans' fears were right, the two men were like two black dragons, roaring across the half court and crossing the three-point line, but they were only three or four seconds into the box.
After entering the box, Turner glanced at Bledsoe, who continued to slow down and then put away the ball and started three steps in his lower abdomen. Bledsoe didn't hesitate, gritted his teeth and adjusted his posture, and when Turner was gaining strength, he jumped first, waving his arms high and his five fingers spread out, like a dark cloud hanging over Turner's head.
With no expression on his face, Turner jumped up like a statue, twisted in the air and turned sharply while looking back at Marshall, then tossed the ball. Surprised, Bledsoe turned to look, but when he turned his head, he didn't see the shadow of the ball
"Huh!" , another sound of falling into the net, and then an earth-shattering shout sounded in the arena of the American Airlines Center, the sound was like a huge wave, whistling and slapping the walls of the arena, destroying the withering and decaying
Turner staggered two steps to his feet, then waved his arm hard, and the fans shouted to their feet, and many people dressed as Suns fans shouted Bledsoe's name.
Bledsoe looked up at the big screen and realized what was going on, Turner jumped up in the air and tossed the ball, and when he turned around, he went up with his other hand to catch the ball again, and then the two staggered, and Turner glided to the basket and threw the shot
Isaiah Thomas couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, is this Bledsoe's strength?
Bledsoe was full of pride, looked at Turner with his right hand on his ear and made a trumpet, and he said confidently:
"I'll play the next ball!"
He wanted to play but couldn't, Turner defended Marshall to come up to wrap up, Granger was still watching from the sidelines, Bledsoe fell into the sea of people, but Turner and Marshall were aggressive in defense, and they wanted to steal his ball, and he had no choice but to pass the ball back to Isaiah Thomas.
Granger switched defenses, Isaiah Thomas passed to PJ Tucker, and Marshall pounced like a rabbit.
When the ball arrived at PJ Tucker, he didn't plan to pass it, he learned from Jordan to pull the ball behind him with one hand, and then looked at Marshall and sneered proudly, shouting:
"Garbage...... it, sneak attack"
Not only did Marshall pounce to defend PJ Tucker, Turner was not slow at all, but he was more experienced and experienced in defense but hiding behind PJ Tucker to look for opportunities, he believed that this kind of guy must be not cautious, he will definitely have a chance to steal.
Sure enough, as soon as PJ Tucker pulled the ball behind him, Turner immediately stepped over and pulled the ball down, then turned around and quickly attacked the defense again.
Bledsoe was about to be by PJ Tucker, and he was so sad.
'Trash, you've read too many knight novels, haven't you?' But he didn't have time to slander, so he hurried back to defense.
Turner was still rushing at a gallop, and Bledsoe's defense was like a dirty dog in his eyes.
Bledsoe secretly said that this time the old man said that he would block you and make you rampant, but Turner rushed into the box again and jumped again, this time he turned his head and threw the ball up.
Bledsoe was furious in his heart, and secretly said, Do you think the old man is also teasing B? If you want to do it again, you give it to me...... it, what about the balls?
Marshall followed up quickly, he received a pass from Turner, jumped up, grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it high above his head, rushed to the hoop and pressed his wrist, stunned to dunk
Jeff Hornacek wanted to cry without tears, he just wanted to say Mr. Zhang Weiping's mantra: This is unreasonable, what's wrong with the Pelicans outside today.
Although Marshall scored 10 points, two assists and two steals on 4-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, Van Gundy replaced him midway through the second quarter, along with Turner, who played 17 minutes in the middle of the second quarter, scoring 15 points, two assists and four steals.
In the middle of the second quarter, the Pelicans directly led the Suns by 15 points at 40-26, and the hapless Suns were stunned today
If Brad wasn't bald, he really wanted to tear his hair and ask God, what the hell is going on with this? Did you take a urine test before the game? The pharmacist came out and said, are these bastards on the other side really fucking not taking drugs? A qiē is too unreasonable also
With less than 20 minutes to play, his team was robbed six times, and none of the starting five were left behind, including him, and one steal was made, and the aggressiveness of Marshall and Turner's defense made Suns fans in the American Airlines Center arena fearful.
Turner holds the ball as long as he has the opportunity to break through, and on the defensive end, he and Marshall are not man-to-man or joint defense at all, they just run after the ball like jackals chasing bones, and whoever the ball falls into will have to be entangled by the two.
It's very simple to crack this tactic, as long as there is a point guard who holds down the field, the team can effectively transfer the ball, there are always people in the open space, and don't you just give the ball to these people? Adelman's best Princeton system is the reversal of the mark-and-eye tactics, all they have to do is to move the ball and try to mobilize the opponent's initiative to let them run after the ball, so that the ball is transferred from a place with a lot of pressure to a place with a lot of pressure, and scoring is naturally simple.
But it's easier said than done, not to mention whether the Suns have a point guard who can hold down the line, just when this happens, they are stunned.
Marshall and Turner's mad dogs are the same offense and defense, no one can stand it, the two are too fast.
Looking at Turner on the field, Bledsoe had the illusion that Turner would become a big-sized Iverson figure in the future.
Van Gundy called a timeout to change the lineup, and the twin stars of Turner and Marshall were substituted together, and they had previously combined to score two points, which was as many as the Suns as a team.
Li Feng only scored 6 points, but he didn't care, wouldn't it be good if the team could win? But Van Gundy cares that playing like this is a damage to the team's tactics, and will make the players think that they can win their opponents alone, just like Kobe Bryant did when he was younger.
So, Van Gundy replaced Pierce and Jordan Hamilton, and the power forward sent Kelly.
Seeing that Pierce and Jordan Hamilton were in high spirits, Van Gundy gave the two of them a shot of preventive medicine first:
"When the score is outside 10 points, you can do it yourself, but if the score is less than 10 points, you have to hand over the ball and play according to the number 2 strategy"
Two.
Jordan Hamilton nodded heavily, and after the opening he asked Pierce for the ball, shouting:
"Come on, big brother Paul, give me the balls, and let me teach these girls Phoenix a lesson"
Bledsoe's face was dark, they were still in the starting lineup, anyway, the first quarter was not strictly consumed, and the bench lineup was even worse. Jordan Hamilton's words made the blood cloth extremely angry, if the team hadn't fallen too far behind, Bledsoe really wanted to roar - feel the wrath of the gods
Pierce didn't pass the ball, he said in a deep voice as he pushed in:
"Fuck your place, damn it, hurry up and tear through their defenses, I'll organize an attack"
I didn't play, Pierce already had itchy hands, how could he give the first ball to Jordan Hamilton? Especially the guy who defends him, what's it called? Isaiah Thomas? No matter what it's called, Lao Tzu is going to kill you today, even if Lao Tzu is just a part-time point guard.
Facing the nervous Isaiah Thomas, Pierce walked forward sideways, Isaiah Thomas was angry and resisted him, but Pierce immediately broke through, his calves were tense, the muscles on his legs were twisted together like steel bars made of pig iron, and his body leaned down slightly like an assaulting cheetah, and suddenly shot out.
Isaiah Thomas followed back, running faster and faster, and Pierce led him four or five steps in a row, then twisted his knees apart, pulled his shoulders back, and suddenly stopped.
As a last resort, Isaiah Thomas braked sharply, and when he stopped, the guy on the other side picked up speed again. Pierce grasped the rhythm very well, Isaiah Thomas was good enough, but just when he stopped, the other party accelerated again, and so on, Pierce hit the time difference and got rid of him.
The inside line is the penalty area, Pierce put away the ball and made a three-step layup, and his eyes looked at Li Feng who rushed from the bottom line.
Markieff Morris secretly said Who are you fooling, I see that Li Feng has a bird, and he is up with three steps to the basket, so let's shoot honestly, where is the basketball? Don't hurry up and get into my bowl
But Pierce did pass the ball, Markieff Morris opened his arms angrily with that hideous expression like an abyss demon, he wanted to deter Pierce and give him a hat, warning these guys on the other side not to go too far, but as soon as the other party passed the ball, he was stunned, and the sudden change in expression made him change from an abyss demon to a plain two strokes for a while.
Li Feng raised his arms high when he got the ball, and Markieff Morris was glad that he didn't jump, and turned around to block Li Feng again. Then he watched, and when he came back, Li Feng passed the ball back to Pierce
What about Isaiah Thomas? Why haven't you come up to make up for it? Markieff Morris even had the heart to kill the other party at this time.
Pierce threw a successful throw, Li Feng high-fived him, and shouted:
"Welcome to a cameo, Mr. Truth"
Isaiah Thomas made a positive breakthrough, Pierce saw that he was still using the same set against Marshall and immediately sneered, Isaiah Thomas shook his shoulder and hit him, but Pierce stiffened his chest and went up, the two collided heavily, Pierce was knocked back, but Isaiah Thomas couldn't stand the force and was knocked back
The body staggered back, Isaiah Thomas couldn't control the basketball for a while, Jordan Hamilton seized this opportunity like a hungry wolf, jumped up from the side and grabbed the ball in his arms, even if he landed unsteadily and slipped to the ground, but still held the ball firmly in his arms.
Bledsoe was dizzy by his teammates' lack of energy, trade, he had to trade, he couldn't stand being with these teammates, and he didn't want his mother to win the championship for Phoenix, relying on such a lineup and such teammates, he couldn't get the championship even if he dismantled himself.
Of course, the deal will come later, what Bledsoe has to do now is to grab the ball, then he rushes to Jordan Hamilton and reaches out and grabs the ball in his arms, and then the two tear together like rolling sheets.
The referee blew the whistle and then awarded a scramble, and both sides jumped the ball to decide the ball.
Jordan Hamilton was angry and wanted to scold his mother, shouting:
"Did you see clearly, man, are you sure you want to jump ball? It was me who made a steal and then fell to the ground before this kid came to steal the ball, and the damn ball was in his arms for at least ten minutes, and I and him felt like they were with my son, and you said the ball couldn't be judged
Li Feng and Pierce pulled away Jordan Hamilton, and the referee glared at the latter warningly, meaning that you dare to give me a nonsense to let you go again.
Jordan Hamilton is not afraid, he is a demon who wants the world to be in chaos, and immediately glared at the referee, meaning that if you dare to blow and punish the old man again, you will be killed.
Bledsoe is very satisfied with this result, his bounce and speed are Li Feng in the guard, Jordan Hamilton is also very good, but it is much worse than him, if the two jump the ball, he will wait to be abused.
The two stood face to face in the penalty area, and then the referee stood between the two and flicked his wrist to throw the ball, Bledsoe shouted angrily like a rocket, jumped up and slapped the ball on the ball, and slapped the ball directly towards Markieff Morris
Markieff Morris exclaimed, faster than the ball was a dark shadow, Jordan Hamilton didn't jump the ball at all, and when the referee threw the ball out, he ran to Markieff Morris next to him, and then the basketball flew over, he jumped up to catch the ball, landed and lowered his head and rushed forward.
It's not luck, Jordan Hamilton came to the conclusion after analysis, and the opponent will give the racket to Markieff Morris.
This time, even Bledsoe, who reacted quickly, was dumbfounded, the referee didn't care, this is not a foul or a violation, and others can also gamble like this with Jordan Hamilton, as long as they don't be afraid of losing.
Jordan Hamilton grabbed the ball and fast-attacked, Bledsoe, the only one who could catch up with him, was dumbfounded, there was no one behind him, and then strode into the box and jumped was a violent dunk.
After the dunk, Jordan Hamilton looked back and saw that no one had caught up, and he was immediately annoyed:
"Damn, I knew I was shooting three points, and if I hit it, it was three points, and if I didn't hit, I could go in to grab a rebound and then dunk, and it would look better if I counted jù"
His words angered Bledsoe, the blood cloth completely broke out of the small universe, and he didn't need Isaiah Thomas to control the ball when he attacked again, he quickly pushed down with the ball, Marion covered him in the high position, and the blood cloth staggered a step to break through Jordan Hamilton to kill the vacancy, but everyone knew that he was going to shoot, and Pierce didn't care about Isaiah Thomas to make up for him.
Bledsoe wanted to get into the box and make another shot, but Pierce blocked his way, and Jordan Hamilton also shook off Marion and was about to rush up, so he could only reluctantly make a jump shot and made a pull-up jump shot.
The sound of striking iron sounded, and it didn't get harsh for the fans in the American Airlines Center arena.
Li Feng easily picked up the rebound, Pierce controlled the ball safely, and suddenly accelerated to break through after arriving in the front court, and then attracted Marion to make up for the defense and passed the ball to Li Feng, his purpose was to help Li Feng avoid being trapped.
Singles Markieff Morris, Li Feng never used any false work, directly hit the back hard, then turned around and made a layup, hit
46-26 This is more than half of the second quarter, how can this ball be played? Bledsoe was hard-pressed for it.
Although very reluctant. But Bledsoe still watched Li Feng lead a group of bastards to take away the victory from Phoenix, which was a terrible feeling, as if the knights watched their beloved princess being captured by the dragon.
Bledsoe's table is hot today. Li Feng stimulated his desire to score. Hopefully, he only had a five-minute rest for the whole game. In the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the team was still behind by 20+ points. It was useless for him to struggle no matter how much he struggled, so he simply went to rest. In 43 minutes, Bledsoe scored 34 points on 11-of-23 shooting. He got a total of 12 free throws, and he was literally playing with his life.
For this victory, Bledsoe really worked hard. He just wants to prove that Li Feng is strong. But it may not be as proud as they are now.
In contrast, Li Feng's score is not high, only 24 points. That's down from his points per game average this season, but considering he's only taken 12 shots. That's a pretty big score. Markieff Morris is no threat to him, and even if Marion comes up to cover him, he is just as fearless.
It's just that he wasn't the protagonist in today's game. Pierce, Turner, Jordan Hamilton, Marshall, and Granger are the five guys who are the protagonists. The five of them scored a total of 74 points. The Pelicans as a team scored 126 points.
Li Feng only has 24 points, which is inconspicuous. But he chipped in 22 rebounds, 11 assists, eight blocks and four steals. After almost winning a four-double, this one got a five-double. Make somebody's blood boil. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
