Chapter 1133: It's Late
Bogdanovic broke through to the Pelicans' interior in one step, and Al Jefferson followed Bogdanovic closely, Bogdanovic may not be faster than Al Jefferson in terms of footsteps, but Bogdanovic has the full strength to choose the offensive route.
When the Croatian broke through, he deliberately got behind Plumlee, which intercepted Al Jefferson behind him, and Henson could only defend Bogdanovic, but Henson did not have any advantage when defending Bogdanovic, and could only watch the Croatian stretch out his arm and shoot this layup easily.
Bogdanovic scored two points in a seemingly easy but thrilling moment for the team.
After Bogdanovic scored two points here, when the Pelicans turned back to attack, Li Feng immediately felt that Jack's defense was more ferocious than before, and kept pounced on himself.
And once he enters the three-point line of the Nets, he sees the Nets' defense like a piranha in a waterhole and constantly jumps out to bite the Pelicans.
At this time, the Pelicans' offense in the Nets half court suddenly became difficult, because the Nets suddenly increased the defensive intensity, and the Pelicans' usual running position couldn't run, and the players on both sides of the entire Nets half court were entangled together.
The Pelicans are not used to the sudden change of rhythm of the Nets, the basketball was directly from the hands of Al Jefferson by the Nets' defense caused a mistake, the basketball fell to the ground, and was picked up by the Nets' Joe Johnson, and then the Nets immediately counterattacked with a fast attack.
The Nets are also very fast at this time, they are also a large and four small lineup, Joe Johnson dribbled quickly and pounced, Jack, Anthony, Bogdanovic four people ran forward, these four people have the ability to shoot and go to the basket. The fast attack of four small men like this is very terrifying.
The Pelicans can't take care of such a private fast break now, after Joe Johnson quickly advanced over, the basketball went from Joe Johnson's hands to Anthony's hands, Anthony had to dribble for a while whenever he got the basketball, and the dribble broke through two steps forward before turning back and passing to Jack, after Jack took the basketball, he wanted to shoot, but at this time Li Feng had already killed.
At the critical moment, he teamed up to deliver the basketball to Bogdanovic, who has always had a big heart. At this point, he took a dribble after receiving the basketball, and shot a three-pointer outside the three-point line.
Bogdanovic's three-pointer got into the Pelicans' basket lightly, and Bogdanovic came up and scored five points in a row, which immediately brought the score of the two sides closer.
At this time, Hollins was relieved, but Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout, at this moment, Van Gundy had decided that the Nets must be beaten down, and the Nets must be completely defeated in the shortest time.
The Pelicans' players are back on the bench. Albert immediately shouted loudly.
"The Nets really started on defense, yes, from the opening to now, the Nets haven't lost to the Pelicans offensively. The only thing to lose is defense, and their defense is not as good as the Pelicans, which is the key to the Pelicans' lead over the Nets, and now the Nets have begun to grasp the defense at the most critical moments, so that. How will the game go? β
"It's too late to start defending now."
Bill Wharton shook his head and said:
"The Nets' defense and counterattack just now were good, but I don't think the Pelicans will be helpless against the center defense. It was just an unexpected blow, and now it's the beginning of the game. β
While Bill Wharton and Albert were arguing, Van Gundy was loudly urging his teammates.
"Boys, I know you've trampled your opponent under your feet twice, and now you have the initiative, and now you're still ahead of your opponent, you seem to have infinite possibilities, but, boys, there's definitely not much of a chance for you."
"Think about it, if we win this game it's 3-1, then we can win a little bit easier in the next game, and if we lose, it's 2-1, then it might become 2-2 or 2-3, and then we drag into the decisive battle, which is too bad for us, and now the victory is in front of our eyes, right in front of us, as long as those games are in front of us, as long as we beat the Nets at this time, we beat the Nets at the moment of the highest morale, they don't have Lopez, what are you afraid of? The inside line is supposed to be your world, boys, if you win these few minutes, we will advance, what are you waiting for, now let's lock in the win. β
The Pelicans want to finish their game, and the Nets want to resolutely drag out the game, both teams are determined to win, so as soon as they come back after a timeout, they immediately collide together as if Mars hit the Earth.
After the timeout, it was Pelicans' possession, Li Feng controlled the basketball and walked to the half court of the Nets, at this time there was only one minute and six seconds before the end of the third quarter, Li Feng was very tough on the ball and his body, and walked forward against Jack step by step.
At this time, Jack also had no way to fight against Li Feng's tough body.
Bill Wharton now said a little bored:
"Albert, now I'm thinking about what might happen at this moment, I really have a hunch."
Albert didn't bother to pay attention to Bill Wharton's sudden nerves, his eyes were staring at Li Feng tightly.
Now the Nets have a lot of defensive intensity, putting a lot of pressure on everyone in the Pelicans, and the whole court looks very squeezed, full of confrontation, full of defense.
But at this time, Li Feng felt on the court that the Nets' defense is based on enthusiasm and subjectivity, but it does not have the right approach to defend in terms of methods, the Nets' players are one-on-one with active defense, but the defender and the defender lack the necessary connection, there is only one way to face such a defense, that is, to break the defensive posture of the Nets.
After Li Feng made such a judgment, he immediately kicked his feet and rushed out at once, killing the inside line of the Nets, at this time Li Feng knew that at this time, the Nets' defense and spirit were at a peak, whoever rushed up, the breath in the Nets' stomach would gush out at whom, but at this time Li Feng was still willing to disturb the most ferocious flame of the Nets.
Sure enough, once Li Feng came up. Most of the Nets' highly concentrated defensive firepower is concentrated on Li Feng.
Several hands touched Li Fengdi's body and face, but the referee did not blow at this time.
At this moment, the referee was also cautious, but Li Feng knew that this was his best opportunity, the more he was defended here, the more space his teammates had.
Li Feng jumped up in the middle of several people in the Nets, and this time he chased and intercepted Li Fengdi, Jack, Joe Johnson, and Bogdanovic all jumped up and blocked in front of Li Fengdi.
But Li Feng is not lazy at all. He jumped up and immediately twisted his body and shifted the basketball to the bottom corner of Granger's hand, which was empty.
As mentioned earlier, the Nets are extremely enthusiastic about defense, but they still don't do a good job in how to defend the local method, and they defend the team well, and the defense is fluid, and if one misses, there will be another one to follow. One is in danger, and the nearest players understand the defense, and everyone is looking at the overall situation, not just their own people. And look at the person who will miss the ground.
It's a long-term fit and a game practice, the Nets have been average defensively for a season, and now one night you make him suddenly a defensive powerhouse, and that's just a kind of active defense. It's definitely not a good defense.
When Li Fengdi's ball was stuffed into Granger's hand, Gran made a three-pointer, which was a good opportunity. But it's a bit of a pity that the basketball didn't go in, and I jumped out so far.
After Granger threw such a simple attack, he swung his arm hard, which was a pity, and Van Gundy also waved his arm, which was definitely an opportunity to thwart his opponent.
The three-point shooting turned into a fierce battle under the basket, and without Lopez's basket, the Nets did not have the slightest advantage, and Henson and Al Jefferson sandwiched Plumlee in the middle.
After the basketball fell, Al Jefferson was a little behind Plumlee, and the ball flew directly out of the small circle under the basket, thinking about Li Feng on one side.
After Li Feng received the basketball, Anthony immediately pounced in front of Li Feng, but Li Feng was as if he was playing at home, staring at Anthony slowly and dribbling two steps forward.
Li Feng's slow dribbling made the Nets' defenders not understand for a while, whether he pounced on it or not, in short, it felt a little incredible.
Li Feng suddenly pushed Anthony with his shoulder, and then leaned back a little bit to shoot.
The basketball obediently entered the basket of the Nets, and Li Feng used his body to beat Anthony inexplicably, and he had no power to resist at all.
The Nets lost the ball here, and Hollins still didn't see it, in fact, on the Pelicans' side, Li Feng has found a way to deal with the Nets' current crazy defense, and he is still urging his players on the sideline to hurry up and attack.
Several Nets players came to the Pelicans' halfcourt, and the difference between the two teams' defenses was immediately apparent, although the Pelicans were not as flamboyant as the Nets' five, and they didn't seem to be able to move.
But the Pelicans' defense is a chain that can be looped when Anthony gets the basketball.
Li Feng immediately took up the position, and then Li Feng was by his side ready to assist in the defense at any time.
Anthony broke through two steps, and now he has no space, and the space in front of him is crowded, and he immediately passes the ball to Joe Johnson, who sees that it is Granger who defends himself alone, and he also breaks through in one step, but Al Jefferson next to him immediately makes up for it.
In this way, Joe Johnson's offense has no route, and Joe Johnson, who has begun to break through, can only hand over the basketball, Bogdanovic, if it is another player, this is a chance to score, but the Pelicans' defense seems to be a chain, and when El Jefferson pounced on Joe Johnson, Henson pounced on Bogdanovic, so Bogdanovic did not get an empty space.
At this time, Bogdanovic is outside the three-point line, and now the Pelicans' defense is very resilient, and you can't shake off their defense, and he wants to stuff the basketball directly into the hands of Plumlee on the inside of the Nets.
But he only delayed slightly, and a quick slide from the fast-moving Al Jefferson got in front of Cotto, at which point Bogdanovic could only pass the basketball to Jack.
Jack stood outside the three-point line, Li Feng wanted to take a big step back and stood in the three-point line, this is to put Jack to shoot three points, not to break through or to shoot two points, Li Feng did this is grounded, Jack's three-point shooting rate this year has not exceeded 35 percent, this kind of shooting rate, he doesn't need to stick to the defense at all.
Jack saw that Li Feng really didn't defend himself, and Jack was also a stubborn temper, so he really shot, and Jack shot directly with a three-point shot, but people are lucky, but most of them have to respect the number of jΓΉ.
The three-point "bang" thrown by Jack smashed onto the rebound, and then rebounded back, Plumlee also wanted to reach out and pick out the basketball with one hand in Henson, but Henson was as shrewd as a ghost, and he had already grabbed Plumlee's arm, Henson pulled Plumlee, and then Al Jefferson took the opportunity to bully Bogdanovic and pulled the basketball back.
When Plumlee saw Al Jefferson get the basketball, he was so depressed that the referee complained loudly about overloading, and the referee ignored it.
The Nets immediately turned around and came back to attack, the Nets' offensive rhythm is not very fast now, too fast rhythm is now beneficial to the Nets, and not good for the Pelicans, the first Pelicans are now taller than the Nets, and the second Pelicans are now leading, and what is required is the shooting rate, one ball at a time, and then pressing the Nets is equivalent to victory, and there is no need to risk scoring at all.
Li Feng returned to the half court of the Nets, and now the Nets have been chased back by the Pelicans, and they still haven't shown their weaknesses.
Li Feng simply stretched out his hand and made a gesture to his teammates, after seeing Li Feng make such a gesture, Al Jefferson was stunned at first, and then he glanced at the current defensive state of the Nets, and he immediately smiled as soon as he grinned.
After Al Jefferson got Li Feng's gesture, he immediately came up to cover Li Feng and Li Feng in a row, Li Feng drilled near the baseline under Al Jefferson's cover, and the backhand Li Feng popped out of the three-point line to pull out the space.
At this time, the ball fell into the hands of Al Jefferson, who was a big step closer to the horn position, and Al Jefferson stopped in such a dangerous place, and the Nets defender immediately pounced on Al Jefferson like a bee seeing honey. (To be continued......)
