Chapter 708: Li Feng defends Durant

The Thunder opened the situation first with a three-point shot, and at this time Mike Brown also began to worry:

"The Pelicans have a problem defending their three-point line defense! It's not the way to get the Thunder to shoot three-pointers like that. ”

Doug Collins also said at this time:

"Jefferson can't defend Perry Jones, especially when Perry Jones has a good hand. It's time for Van Gundy to make a substitution! ”

Both of them began to get anxious on the sidelines, and the cheers of the home team were like a tide. The Pelicans encountered the first dilemma, the Thunder rewrote the score to 20-12, and the point difference quietly widened, encountering this dilemma, but the Pelicans themselves did not panic.

Because the Pelicans have already experienced strong winds and waves, being led by 20 points, being beaten and unable to raise their heads, they have all encountered these situations, so now when they encounter such a small situation, although these players are not old, they are psychologically without pressure.

Oladipo pushed forward steadily, not arrogant or impatient, and in the opponent's half, Oladipo passed the basketball to the pulled out Calon Butler.

Kaloon Butler briefly controlled the ball and crossed with Li Feng to cover, and then passed the basketball to Li Feng, who took the ball back and hit the ball into the hands of Jefferson near the penalty area.

Jefferson just hit a mid-range shot from Crawn Butler, and this time he came up and took the ball and shook his shoulders directly, turning around and throwing a throw.

Under the basket, Jefferson Batler was also relaxed, and he came up and scored 2 points! Perry Jones played Jefferson misplaced, Jefferson played Perry Jones was also misplaced, and the Pelicans scored two points with a steady style of play.

From 20 to 14, I saw how easy it was for Jefferson to beat Perry Jones. Doug Collins felt something, and he said:

"I was a little anxious for the Pelicans just now to see Perry Jones score three points in a row, but now I see Jefferson eating in a row. I still feel that the pelican seems to be more stable! ”

Su Qun also said at this time:

"Van Gundy is so steady! In this way, it is not adjusted. Still trying! This psychological element zhì is too strong. ”

Because the Pelicans have been through so many things, they can stabilize their mentality at this time and will not be swayed too much by the changes on the outside.

The Pelicans still tried to stabilize the game today and suppressed the opponent to play, but the game was different from what the Pelicans expected.

After the Thunder were shot from this mid-range, they passed the basketball to Durant in the backcourt, and Durant took the ball from the backcourt and quickly advanced it.

Durant also accelerated suddenly when he got the ball at this time. He suddenly started to break through from the backcourt, and Durant's breakthrough was certainly not fast, but Caron Butler was not a fast player either.

Seeing that Durant was coming, Steven Adams was still in the high post to cover for Durant. In this way, Durant went straight from the middle to the Pelicans' restricted area.

For a dangerous person like Durant, the Pelicans are sure to kill and come over immediately to wrap up, but Durant threw the basketball out at this moment.

Sefrosa did not have a strong sense of being able to get the ball at this time. A direct shot was still a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The Thunder came after Perry Jones hit two consecutive three-pointers. Sefrosa also made a three-pointer, so that the Thunder threw five three-pointers at the beginning of the first quarter, and the three-pointers in the first quarter were five of six three-pointers.

This hit rate is scary, and today the Thunder had another convulsion at the beginning. This kind of convulsion can even be called habitual convulsions.

The Thunder stretched the score to 23-14, and the difference between the two teams has a tendency to widen again.

With Sefrosa's three-point shot, the Thunder's home court was even more jubilant. Su Qun also exclaimed:

"Thunder and three points! This is too godly, isn't it? ”

Mike Brown was also shocked and said:

"Is Thunder a professional convulsion? This kind of three-point shot in five of six shots is too unreasonable! ”

Doug Collins also said at this time:

"We all know that the Thunder have a lot of offensive ability. It's the same again today! This was a surprise. ”

The Pelicans were shot five in one go, and Van Gundy was a little silly, Nima! Thunder is also too unreasonable.

The Pelicans' players are also booing each other. Thunder is starting to be abnormal again today, and they can only endure it.

Oladipo took the ball and pushed forward. used Li Feng's cover, and then turned back the basketball to Li Feng.

The team was beaten like this, Li Feng had to stand up at this time, he took the ball and immediately broke through Sefrosa, Li Feng broke through from the left and then suddenly made a reverse step, jumped to the right, and then passed the ball from the right to give the basketball to the hands of Jefferson under the basket, Jefferson had a huge advantage here and shouted, and completed the dunk under the Thunder's basket.

"Bang!"

The Pelicans responded with a dunk.

So far, the Pelicans' table is still very perfect, the team's overall performance is very reasonable, very stable, and the offense is also good.

Westbrook controlled the ball at this time, came up and called Steven Adams' cover, and took advantage of Steven Adams's cover, Westbrook suddenly passed the ball to Durant in a circle.

Durant took the ball and forced two steps to break through, then turned around and passed the basketball to Perry Jones, who was pulled outside the three-point line.

Perry Jones took the ball at this time and made another quick shot, and the Thunder made another three-pointer.

In this way, the Thunder is the home stadium is thunderous, and the air defense sirens are sounded over the stadium.

"Woooooo

The alarm at the home of the thunder rang for a long time, and Yang Yi and Su Qun exclaimed at the same time:

"Another one! This is so unreasonable! ”

The Thunder is really unreasonable today, but it's not that the individual is unreasonable, but that this hit rate is unreasonable.

The Thunder made six of seven shots, and this shooting percentage is unimaginable. And today, the Thunder's two-point shooting rate is only two out of five, but the three-point shot is six out of seven, which is scary.

In this case, the Pelicans were really a little stunned by the other party, and Li Feng also looked at the few people on the opposite side of the thunder in disbelief.

Li Feng is thinking in his mind! Are these people crazy?

As far as the Thunder shot a three-pointer, Scott Brooks himself looked a little scared. Seeing his team shoot three points like this, he was also a little afraid. It's too wicked, nothing else will happen in the second half.

Scott Brooks was scared. Van Gundy was even more scared, because the Thunder's few three-pointers were really not forced shots, but momentary opportunities appeared, and then they were seized immediately.

At this point, Van Gundy was really convinced, and he immediately asked Henson to prepare on the sidelines, and he couldn't let the Thunder continue to play like this.

But at this time. The Pelicans quickly pushed over, and Li Feng passed the basketball to Jefferson, who had the advantage of positioning.

Jefferson attacked for the fourth time, and he finally missed the shot. Once Jefferson's shot missed, the Thunder immediately hit it.

Westbrook made a fast-break pass to Durant to the wing, and Durant opened the middle on the wing and suddenly passed the ball to Perry Jones, who was cutting in the air.

Perry Jones was much quicker on his feet than Jefferson. And at this time, his hand is also hot. The body that came up and was hit by a foul by Millsap lost his balance, but the basketball fell into the Pelicans' basket.

Perry Jones came to a 2+1 after consecutive three-pointers, so that the Thunder's home court was of course completely crazy, and the whole court was crazy.

Perry Jones also roared and beat his chest after scoring and celebrated loudly with his teammates. When Perry Jones walked to the free throw line, Van Gundy hurriedly replaced Jefferson and replaced him with Henson, who was still faster than Jefferson.

Perry Jones scored so many points in a row. The free throws were a little too exciting, and the free throws missed. However, by this time, the Thunder had already led the Pelicans by 12 points from 28 to 16.

The Thunder opened the day with a big lead. Perry Jones suddenly went berserk and scored 11 points, and the scene was completely out of control.

At this kind of moment, the morale of the thunder is completely up, and once the morale of the thunder comes up, no one is afraid. And at this point, the Pelicans are definitely in danger, and there are still 2 minutes left in the first quarter!

The game was beaten like this, and Van Gundy couldn't replace Li Feng, so they could only continue to hold on.

When the Pelicans encountered a crisis, the first thing they thought of was Li Feng, and at this time they handed over the basketball to Li Feng in the backcourt.

Li Feng quickly pushed forward and fought against Sefrosa muscles. In the process, Millsap and Henson suddenly doubled up on Li Feng at the top of the arc.

Using the cover of such a pair, Li Feng rushed past the two people at once, and went straight to the basket near the penalty area.

In this case, Steven Adams could only come over and stop Li Feng with a foul, and Li Feng made a foul at a critical moment, interrupting the current Thunder's offensive momentum.

On the free throw line, Li Feng also tried his best to delay, slowly making free throws, and consuming the opponent's momentum. And when Li Feng was wasting time, the Thunder made another substitution, using Jamie Lamb and Derek Fisher to replace Westbrook and Sefrosa.

Scott Brooks still has room to make substitutions, and it also reflects Scott Brooks' steady mentality today.

Normally, if there is such a big advantage, he may directly take the opponent away with a wave of wild attacks, but now Scott Brooks is still a substitution, and he is still ready to make a protracted battle.

Li Feng went to the free throw line, and he also felt average, hitting one of the two free throws, and the scores of the two teams became 28-17.

The Thunder kicked off the baseline, and Fisher hit the ball at this time, and he still played a high block, but he didn't have the destructive power of Westbrook.

Fisher's breakthrough couldn't penetrate the opponent's defense, so he could only turn around and pass the basketball to Perry Jones, who felt very good today, and Perry Jones took the ball here to break through John Henson, but Henson's feet were faster than Jefferson's, and his body was stronger than Perry Jones, so Perry Jones had no chance at all.

He could only pass the basketball back to Durant, who had 6 seconds left in 24 seconds when Durant got the ball, and he couldn't play anything. Just when the Pelicans felt that they could finally defend this round, they watched Durant dribble a step forward, get up and lean forward and throw a three-pointer directly.

"Huh!"

Durant's three-point shot actually hit as well! All of a sudden, the Thunder's home court exploded! Doug Collins and Mike Brown explode! Su Qun and Yang Yi also exploded! The Thunder's players exploded even more.

"Oooo

At this time, the Thunder's home court was full of explosion-like shouts.

"Wow wow!"

Collins and Sephorosa shouted together, and the thunder beat the game. This shooting rate is simply extraordinary, and he shot seven out of eight three-pointers, is this still a three-point shooting rate! Free throws don't have to be that high.

Yang Yi also exclaimed:

"The Thunder's three points today are too much! It's like a cheat! ”

Su Qun also shook his head again and again and said:

"It's not normal. This is absolutely not normal! The three-point shooting rate is so high! No team can bear it! With this kind of shooting percentage, if they can still play like this, the Pelicans won't be able to play. ”

The majority of domestic fans were also frightened by the Thunder's three-point shot, as if they had drunk cold water.

In a certain forum, the fans even exclaimed:

"No more! No more! If I continue to fight like this, my heart will fall out! ”

It's not just that his heart is going to fall off, it's that Van Gundy's heart is really going to fall out! The Thunder rewrote the score to 31-17 in one go, which is a 14-point difference.

And the way the Thunder went crazy today was different from the last game, and the Pelicans had a chance to pull back the game in the last game. But not necessarily today.

At this time, Van Gundy called a timeout again after replacing Henson. Back on the bench, Van Gundy's side hurriedly arranged the defense:

"Li Feng, you go defend Durant. From now on, we're going to focus on defending the three-point line. The mid-range shooting area is given to them, and it is enough to guard the three-point line and the restricted area. Let them hit! ”

"Li Feng, you're going to play the first quarter! We need to pull the score back a little bit, and now our priority is to shorten the margin and strengthen our defense from the three-point line. Don't let them get out of the way. Let them hit. Our offense has to be efficient, at the very least, to make sure that we don't let the opponent play fast. ”

Van Gundy's side is completely into defensive thinking, not letting the Thunder shoot three-pointers, not letting the Thunder attack the basket, not letting the Thunder run fast and attacking, cutting the easiest way to score, the Pelicans want to pull back the Thunder who are now playing chicken blood.

At this time, Su Qun also said in China:

"Now the Pelicans have to play hard defensively! This trick must be ruthless! It is necessary to restrain the morale that the current thunder cannot control. Otherwise, today's game will be over. ”

"Because this is the home court of the Thunder, it's not the home court of the Pelicans. In this home arena, the Thunder are very easy to morale up. The fans cheered around a little and their morale came. In this case, the Thunder's offense today will definitely play well. The Pelicans are the visitors, so they have to start defending and keep their minds down to defend every round. ”

After the pause, the Pelicans also began to play tactical offense, and at this time the Pelicans had to be serious and had to put in 120 percent effort.

Li Feng, covered by his teammates, suddenly stuck in the low post, and at the same time, Henson's quick pass hit Li Feng's chest like a cannonball.

Li Feng took the ball and turned around to get up to attack, and the Thunder was also good enough, Jamie Lamb came up and slapped him and continued to foul Li Feng to the free throw line.

The opponent is shooting three-pointers, and the Pelicans are living on free throws, which looks a bit miserable! But the trouble with fouls can only be reflected in the second half, and now playing a few more fouls on the other side, Van Gundy also feels that it is worth it. Because once the Pelicans play in the second half, if the opponent fouls a lot and dare not defend, the Pelicans will still have a great advantage.

The team fell behind so much, Li Feng didn't dare to slack off when he went to the free throw line, and finally got back two points after hitting both free throws.

31-19, the Pelicans still fell by as much as 2 points.

The Thunder came over and handed the basketball to Perry Jones on the wing first, and Perry Jones didn't have a good way to get the ball here or take Henson.

Henson's defense is indeed relatively solid, his feet are not too fast but enough, and his body is not too strong, but the basket is completely mixed, and the rebounds can be stuck.

Perry Jones has no move here, so he can only pass the basketball to Durant in the back, and the Thunder still have to look at Durant at critical moments.

Durant took the ball up at this time and pressed two steps slightly, did not force a shot but passed the ball back to Fisher, and Fisher passed Steven Adams.

Steven Adams took a strong step under the basket and also passed the ball to Perry Jones, who stepped back this time and dribbled a step back to slightly distance himself from Henson, before getting up and throwing a three-pointer.

When the Pelicans saw the Thunder and threw a three-pointer, they were a little trembling! Van Gundy's heart clenched all of a sudden.

Henson is also crazy about past interference in Henson's madness. Under the interference, it was up to Perry Jones to finally miss the three-point shot.

"Khooth!"

The basket sounded with the sound of iron, Perry Jones missed the shot, and the Thunder's home court was a sigh.

But the domestic fans are cheering, the Thunder finally missed a three-point shot, this is not easy, the domestic fans almost have to run to tell each other, and the crown is celebrated, this is so worth being happy about.

Li Feng looked at the back, and Perry Jones finally didn't enter, and he also let out a long breath.

The Pelicans grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and finally came over for a good round.

Previously, Van Gundy assigned the Pelicans efficiency first, so at this time, the Pelicans played very patiently in the Thunder's half.

Oladipo came over and passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball to Oladipo to make a wall, and let Oladipo walk around him, Li Feng and Oladipo sang a little two-person turn, opening up some distance.

In this case, Oladipo can shoot, but Oladipo does not, but goes to the basket to cheat a foul on Durant.

The Pelicans continued to cheat fouls and continued to rely on free throws to continue their lives, Oladipo is now very accurate and stable in three points, and the free throws are also very stable, coming up with two free throws and two hits.

31-21, the difference between the two teams finally reached 10 points, the largest difference between the two teams was 16 points before, and now it is 10 points, and the Pelicans fans and players finally feel comfortable to breathe. (To be continued......)
