Chapter 791: Cruel Words

Li Feng sat in his place, and then he regretted very much that he had come to the press conference at this time, and sure enough, as soon as the reporter asked a question, Li Feng felt very awkward.

"Mr. Li Feng, you lost to the Thunder today, where do you think the main reason is, why didn't you make any moves after the collapse in the fourth quarter?"

The reporter was asking Li Feng.

Li Feng really didn't want to answer this question, but at this time he had to do it, and this was a question that had to be answered:

'Today we lost, we lost badly, and the reason is very simple, it's just that we didn't shoot those balls, it's that simple, when we can shoot those balls we win, but if we can't shoot those balls we just lose.

Here Li Feng blames all the losses on the feel, but only Li Feng himself knows how boring it is to blame the failure on the feel, the feel is a factor that determines the game Today, the failure of his team is definitely not only because of the feel, but also because of the failure of the game strategy.

"So, Westbrook, do you think you beat the Pelicans, who are the No. 1 in the league, today, do you have anything to say?"

This topic was definitely to Westbrook's appetite, and Westbrook laughed out loud when he heard the reporter's question, and said proudly:

"In today's game with the Pelicans, we didn't play well in the front, but in the back, the rhythm was completely controlled by us."

"When we controlled the rhythm of the whole game, the victory was ours, me, Durant, and Perry Jones, the three of us did a good job together, the game was our rhythm, so the victory was ours."

Westbrook said arrogantly. Westbrook didn't hesitate to say anything, but Van Gundy and Li Feng were patient over there, what was the matter, and now Westbrook was triumphant, and he had the upper hand.

Li Feng sat there very depressed, but there was no way, here the reporters found that Westbrook, who was still a big mouth, was easier to deal with, so he asked Westbrook again:

"Westbrook, you finally got your wish to score 40 points today, you made good on your promise to the fans, you can score 40 points on the Pelicans, what kind of trick do you have?"

Li Feng shook his head there when he heard this question. The Pelicans are really completely depressed today, not only to listen to Westbrook talk about how to beat the Pelicans, but now even the topic of how to score 40 points against the Pelicans has come out.

Westbrook didn't care at all that Li Feng was sitting here, and he said with a smile:

"It's a very important secret about how to score points on the Pelicans, and everyone saw that my first three quarters were very average, and it was only in the last quarter that I played, and I'm sure everyone must know, what is the reason for that? Because I found a way to overcome the Pelicans' defense. I got through the cover a lot and finally got rid of the defenders, and the other thing is that against the Pelicans' defense, the shots must be spaced, which is why I was able to score 40 points on the Pelicans' heads! ”

Westbrook spoke out loud there. Li Feng can only endure it, who let this guy really get 40 points! It's something you can't fake, and you and your team really didn't defend Westbrook.

The reporters clearly saw that Li Feng shook his head there. They cleverly shifted the topic to Li Feng.

"Li Feng, your defense has a lot of status in the league, but why did you let Westbrook score 40 points today. Why didn't you completely contain the Thunder's offense today, did you do anything wrong in this game? ”

Li Feng wanted to roar and completely vent the depression in his stomach, but this was a press conference, he couldn't do this, he had to answer such a damn question, Li Feng said helplessly:

"We did do some things wrong in today's game, I did some things wrong, I made a mistake in my strategic choice, my teammates in this game, everyone was very good, and the reason why the game failed was all because of my factors."

Li Feng said here that it was all his own mistake, half because this was a kind of protection for his teammates and half was said by Van Gundy, this is Li Feng apologizing to Van Gundy, this is indeed my responsibility, Li Feng's idea is so simple, first of all, take the responsibility.

The reporters originally thought that it would trigger a verbal confrontation between Li Feng and Westbrook, but they didn't expect that Li Feng ignored Westbrook at all and put the responsibility for the loss on himself.

At this time, the reporters found out that they really couldn't get any interesting news from Li Feng, so they still pointed the finger at Van Gundy.

At this time, the reporters took aim at Van Gundy:

"Mr. Van Gundy, the Pelicans lost today, where do you think you didn't do well, where the Pelicans lost?"

"It's true that our table today is not very good, but as long as the team will have ups and downs, we have won in a row, and it is not unacceptable to lose at this time."

In the face of reporters, Van Gundy did not show the slightest depression, but told these reporters with a subtext: "What do you know, Lao Tzu still loses, but it's just a game." Van Gundy completely kept his words to heart, and then showed another face to the media.

Will Van Gundy not care about winning a game? Others may believe this kind of words, but Li Feng absolutely does not believe it, Van Gundy is extremely obsessed with the victory or defeat of every game from the bottom of his bones.

In the end, the reporter's topic was still on Westbrook, because no one else could dig up any interesting news, and only in Westbrook could they get interesting news.

The reporter continued to ask Westbrook: "Westbrook, you won the Pelicans by a big score today, do you have anything to say to Li Feng?" ”

This time the reporters came up with a question, which is very difficult to answer in normal theory, but I didn't expect Westbrook to laugh out loud, and then said:

"Mr. Li Feng, I would like to thank you. It was you who made me score 40 points today, and it was you who gave us the victory to Thunder, Mr. Li Feng, I am very grateful to you. ”

Westbrook was so grateful to Li Feng that Li Feng felt very annoyed, at this time he really wanted to jump up and fight with Westbrook, but it didn't work, Li Feng sat there with a red face, and then stood up and said fiercely:

"Westbrook, we'll see you next time in New Orleans."

Li Feng put down his cruel words, and then walked out of the news hall angrily, Li Feng was very angry at this time. Really angry, he also tasted the taste of being won by someone else and showing off in front of himself.

……

Two days later, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans to host the Sacramento Kings!

The cheerleaders jumped enthusiastically, and the entire New Orleans arena was filled with a fanatical belief.

Despite the recent defeat for the Pelicans, the team is still favored by fans, and this season's Pelicans are refreshing.

The first to play were the Kings' players, and the Kings fielded the main lineup with point guard Isaiah Thomas. Shooting guard Rudy Gay, small forward Derrick Gay, power forward Jason Thompson, center DeMarcus Cousins. It's the Kings' entire roster.

The King's players took to the court. Later, the fans at the New Orleans arena didn't have the sense of being a good person, and they booed them wildly on the sidelines, mocking their opponents wantonly.

Wait until the Pelicans' players play. The whole New Orleans arena was cheering, and the Pelicans' lineup didn't look like there was any change, Rose. Arenas, Li Feng, Millsap, Al Jefferson, and Pelicans don't look like they've changed anything in the lineup.

Players from both teams showed up on the pitch, and Charles Barkley, who was in the commentary box, cleared his throat and said:

"The king got Cousins this year, and Li Feng's younger brother has become the boss, I don't know what kind of surprise our kitten will bring to the Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"In fact, the biggest attraction of the Pelicans and Kings is that in the face of the Kings, the Pelicans will be different from the last Thunder."

Kenny Smith smiled as he watched both teams walk onto the court.

Cousins stood majestically in front of Al Jefferson, showing his fat to Al Jefferson, after the Knicks won the championship last season, the immodest Cousins once again enjoyed a lot of food in the summer, and weighed nearly 130 kilograms.

The referee who officiated the game was also the most authoritative Bavita in the league, Bavita gently threw the basketball into the sky, so Al Jefferson and Cousins flew together, and even Al Jefferson himself was surprised that he hooked the basketball lightly and hooked the basketball into Rose's hand.

He thought he had fouled! But Bavita didn't say anything, Rose received the basketball, and the New Orleans arena was greeted with a burst of cheers.

Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, said teasingly:

"DeMarcus is carrying 50 pounds of beef, he carries such a big burden, he can't compete with Al Jefferson at all, poor DeMarcus, you better throw the beef down and play again."

Rose called the basketball to Li Feng, Li Feng got the basketball, penetrated deep into the King's interior and interspersed the position, and then passed the basketball to Jones's hands, Jones performed a hesitant shot very seriously, and then passed the basketball to Li Feng.

It seems to be accidental, but on the inside Millsap has helped Li Feng to get the position stuck, Li Feng turned his head, and the first pair is Guy who is opposite him today, the so-called Wheat Di, in front of Li Feng, it is simply a snack for Li Feng in vain.

When Guy's body was defending against Li Feng being eaten, it couldn't play any defensive role at all, Li Feng's turn over, he overwhelmed Guy, without any blockage, Li Feng turned around and made a low-handed layup, and got two points first.

In the first round, the Pelicans offense took 18 seconds, almost 20 seconds or so, the Pelicans' first plan succeeded, and Kings coach Mike Malone really didn't feel the Pelicans' overall tactical change, he waved at the team.

The Kings slowly climbed towards the Pelicans' position, the Kings also played slow-paced basketball, and they had a big center like Cousins! After half-time, Mike Malone's team was really well-trained, and the space was quickly opened up.

Then Cousins got the basketball very lightly on the inside, and at this time Al Jefferson didn't go around the front, nor did he go around the front, but just defended alone behind Cousins, before the game. Van Gundy has done a meticulous study of the Kings' lineup.

Although Cousins is easy to catch the ball, but only he knows that his back is not stable, Al Jefferson understands that his heavy responsibility today is to consume Cousins's body, and fight with Cousins, and desperately push Cousins behind Cousins, so as not to make this future league's No. 1 center comfortable.

Cousins spun his clumsy body, his turning speed was completely out of order, and he didn't turn around at all. The body is very awkward, hooking his hand and attacking at the Pelicans' basket.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the edge of the basket, the king got off to a bad start, and after the king's offense ended, Carlle quickly glanced at the stopwatch for 20 seconds, and the king played even slower than his team.

Maintaining this rhythm and playing at this pace, Al Jefferson can hold Cousins as much as he can, and the balance of victory will be tilted in his favor.

The Pelicans' second offensive round. Li Feng still controls the ball first, then intersperses, and then passes the basketball out and then finds a position, and it seems that the Pelicans' offensive path has not changed. It's just that the players are particularly hesitant when they shoot.

When Barkley saw this, he was a little anxious for Li Feng and said:

"What are the Pelicans players hesitating about! Even if you don't hit a lot of shots, you have to shoot, otherwise the pace of the game will be more and more in line with what the king wants to see. ”

"Charles, Pelicans though want to play fast. But the game has just begun! ”

Kenny Smith chuckled from the side, clearly not bullish on the Pelicans.

Although the Pelicans looked hesitant here, they took off the time to 20 seconds! But after 20 seconds. Millsap took the basketball and glanced at the time, but he was immediately resolute!

Forced to break through Jason Thompson from the sideline in one step, in fact, Jason Thompson and Millsap have a lot of similarities, both of them are miniature power forwards, both of them are very physically strong, both of them are stable in the middle of the shot, the only difference is that Millsap's step cuts, Jason Thompson has not practiced in his life.

Millsap forced a one-step cut, Jason Thompson reached out behind him without hesitation to foul, the king fouled for the first time, although he did not score, but Van Gundy was very satisfied, the first point of the slow-paced half-court entanglement is the success rate of the offense, the second point is the kill, the accumulation of kills, and finally can change the game.

This time the attack took 23 seconds, and it was a slow-paced attack again, and at this point, Kenny Smith said proudly:

"Now the Pelicans can't play the rhythm they want at all, the game is completely in Mike Malone's control, that's not going to work, the Pelicans need to change."

The Pelicans let Cousins catch the ball, but they definitely didn't let Cousins go!

Behind Cousins, Al Jefferson used all his body tricks, pushing, pulling, squeezing, bumping, using all the tricks he could use to get behind Cousins, not making Cousins comfortable, and at the same time cutting off Cousins from the other players on the outside.

Cousins finally got the basketball, but he couldn't let go of Al Jefferson, who used so many tricks against him behind him!

Although the position was far away, Cousins still desperately pressed towards the Pelicans' interior line, and Al Jefferson held up and resisted Cousins hard behind him.

Cousins suddenly rolled over, and Al Jefferson was knocked out of the way slightly.

Cousins had room to raise his hand, which was not easy to defend, and Cousins raised his hand up to Al Jefferson's face and threw the basketball into the basket with his huge palm.

Cousins is starting to score points! Al Jefferson shook his head in annoyance, and Li Feng came over and whispered to Al Jefferson:

"Well done! Man, if the kitty plays like this every round, he won't be able to last 5 minutes. ”

Al Jefferson nodded vigorously, and when it came to the king's half, Li Feng stretched out his finger and pointed at Rose.

Rose immediately understood, the plan began, Millsap also began to act, ran to the horn position, took the initiative to receive the ball and prepared to attack, Millsap got the basketball, dribbled twice, passed the basketball out, moved the position backwards, Rose and he did a double cooperation, continued to give the ball inward, Millsap pressed the king's half, controlled the time, Li Feng suddenly came over to cover Rose.

Rose moved empty-handed, a dodge, and ran into the king's inside line, when Rose cut in, extremely resolute, Millsap just passed, only to see Rose rushed towards the basket with great determination, he rushed up alone, Cousins hurriedly came back to defend!

At this time, Li Feng's words sounded in Rose's mind:

"If you want to win a foul, the first element is definitely not acceleration, but deceleration! When you are about to break through and take off, a slight slowdown will be maximized. ”

Rose received the ball and looked extremely fierce towards the basket, but at the moment when he was close to jumping, he reduced his speed a little bit, at this time, Cousins couldn't control it, jumped up a little bit, Rose was waiting for this, he jumped after Cousins, and Cousins suppressed Rose!
