Okafor played all of a sudden, the Pelicans hurriedly responded, and Van Gundy hurriedly replaced Li Feng to strengthen the ability to assist defense.

And when the Pelicans made a substitution, the Bulls also replaced the main Paul, and the second quarter meal was coming.

Okafor hit a free throw from the free-throw line and the Bulls were 35-30 to give the Pelicans a five-point lead.

It was not a big problem to lead by 5 points in the second quarter, but it was not good for Okafor to play well, so Li Feng immediately came up and played one by himself after returning to the court.

Li Feng took the ball and faced Mirotic with a crotch, then changed his body to the ball and called to his left hand, and he wanted to shoot with a step back.

Li Feng has already gotten rid of Mirotic this time, but Mirotic is really annoying, at the moment when Li Feng made a move, this guy came up and hit Li Feng's hand at once, and this guy also played very hard, ending Li Feng's attack at once and sending Li Feng to the free throw line.

Mirotic's current defense of Li Feng is this style, I would rather let you go to the free throw line than let you score to set the atmosphere up, relying on free throws will not drive the atmosphere of the whole team.

Li Feng also has no tricks with Mirotic, the other party is sincere in fouling you, no matter how big your ability is, you can't take it.

was a little depressed, at the free throw line, Li Feng also hit one of two free throws, but only shot one.

31-35, Li Feng came up and wanted to overturn the current rise of Okafor, but was sniped by Mirotic first.

Mirotic wore Li Feng away first, and the Bulls' adjustment in the second quarter did take the lead again.

And at this time, the Bulls came over again, and Okafor still used Howard's cover to come out and catch the ball.

Li Feng desperately came out to help defend at this time and forced Okafor to the three-point line to get the ball, Li Feng thought that this would be fine.

But what Li Feng didn't expect was that even if Okafor took the ball on the three-point line, he didn't hesitate to throw a three-pointer directly when he got the ball.

Okafor is now fully out of shape and finding his rhythm. That's why he made an exception and threw a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

But Okafor was like that, and he threw the basketball as well.

Okafor hit a three-pointer after hitting a series of strong shots, and then Okafor went crazy.

The Pelicans immediately called a timeout, and Van Gundy called a timeout at this time to stop Okafor, and Van Gundy came up with a crooked trick.

Didn't Mirotic pull Li Feng down even if he didn't hesitate to foul! Why can't you copy it yourself! So at this time, Van Gundy simply replaced Thornton, asked Thornton to be cannon fodder, specializing in defending Okafor, and when he saw that Okafor couldn't prevent it, he fouled ruthlessly.

As a result, both teams came up with foul tactics to defend the opposing team's leading scorers. The pace of the game was certainly not good, the scene was full of fouls, and the game was almost more accurate than free throws.

In such an inefficient game, in the last few minutes of the second quarter, the two teams had more and more physical contact before, and the anger of the game became more and more playful.

Okafor continued to run out at this time to get the ball and beat Thornton, Thornton's duty today is cannon fodder anyway, he came up to carry Okafor to play, and he didn't play cleanly. There are movements under the feet and elbows.

Today's referee scale is also a bit big, and this is the home of the New Orleans Center, and Thornton can move a little bigger.

In this case, Okafor's play is particularly awkward. Turning around an attack on the basket was unsuccessful, and the referee did not blow it.

At this moment, Okafor was suddenly excited, and gave Thornton an elbow after making a move. Although Thornton is only a role player, he is also very hot-tempered, and he went up and yelled at Okafor.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel. The referee hurriedly separated the two men.

The Pelicans came over again, Li Feng deliberately took the ball to Thornton, Thornton's offensive ability was good, but Okafor, who defended him, was not afraid of physical confrontation, at this moment he was reckless, took the ball and dribbled one step to force Okafor.

When Okafor's defense passed, Thornton gave Okafor an elbow, and Okafor's side was a little blinded by an elbow, but at this time, fortunately, Thornton's offensive skills were really not very good.

A layup by Thornton was affected by Howard, and Thornton missed a layup himself.

Okafor reacted at this time, Thornton was looking for trouble with himself, and Okafor felt that he was a substitute, and he was actually playing with himself like this, just looking for death.

Okafor came up with hatred, and he came up again to get the ball, and he also deliberately leaned towards Thornton.

Thornton barely played anymore and kicked Okafor's leg with a kick from below.

Okafor hasn't done it himself! Thornton saw that he was moving, and he was a little excited in an instant, and when he looked back, he was ready to give Thornton a little elbow. Thornton saw Okafor's elbow coming, and he was not to be outdone, elbow to elbow, Okafor's elbow was crutched on Thornton's chest, and Thornton hit Okafor's back with an elbow.

The two of them were not playing at all, they had already started to play, Thornton came prepared, but Okafor was in the middle of the game.

So at this time, Okafor couldn't hold it first, and turned around and pushed Thornton, who was already ready to get up and kick Okafor's leg.

The two of them staged a full martial arts in a blink of an eye, and the referee and the Bull's people hurriedly pulled away, but the Pelicans were not very active in pulling people.

Because if it really started fighting, Thornton would use Thornton to give Okafor to the pen, the Pelicans would basically win, so the Pelicans basically remained calm, and the Bulls finally pulled Okafor away, and the situation returned to normal.

Several referees on the pitch watched the video of the game repeatedly, and finally gave Okafor and Thornton a first-degree foul each, but did not get the two out of the court.

The Pelicans were naturally a little disappointed with this result, and the Pelicans fans also booed together, but the Bulls fans let out a long breath.

Okafor was given a first-degree technical foul and was not ejected from the court, but he had already committed three fouls, and his situation was not very good.

Phil Jackson hurriedly replaced Okafor, and the Pelicans also replaced Thornton, Thornton has actually committed four fouls, and the number of fouls is much more terrifying than Okafor, but at this time, the Bulls are the main Okafor, and Thornton is dispensable for the Pelicans. This can be regarded as a success of the Pelican exchange.

In the last 2 minutes of the first half, the Bulls did have some scattered offense, and at this time the Pelicans were not affected, and before halftime, the Pelicans came back with the score.

54-51, the Pelicans led the Bulls by 3 points, which is not much, but the Bulls have been leading a little before, or it was a draw, and now they are chased back by the Pelicans for 3 points before halftime. Psychologically, the bull is still not immune to some influences.

At this time, when the halftime reporter interviewed, he deliberately interviewed Phil Jackson, and today the Bulls played more evenly in personnel, but the Bulls were still obviously in the initiative, which must be the credit of Phil Jackson.

So the reporter came up and asked first:

"Mr. Jackson, your team has made a big change today compared to the last game, can you tell us how you did that?"

Phil Jackson said at this time:

"Because we had some difficulties in the last game, today we went all out to improve the role players and make some adjustments to the Pelicans' defense. It gives us a lot more integrity and more potential to win in the game. ”

Phil Jackson didn't play tricks, and he said what adjustments he made.

There will be a 20-minute intermission. Both teams took some breaks, and both teams understood that the real battle would not begin until the third quarter.

In the first two quarters, the main players of both teams were playing tightly, and now it is the second half. The main players of both teams will definitely play hard.

At the beginning of the second half, the Pelicans kicked off first, and most of the Pelicans played role players in the first half. Li Feng took the ball more about passing and responding to the ball, but as soon as the second half began, Li Feng immediately went to the right wing to get the ball.

The Bulls have already set up a tactic to defend against Li Feng in the first half, so once Li Feng comes up to the position, the Bulls will immediately resist fiercely, Jimmy Butler desperately wants to get stuck in front of Li Feng, but he is suddenly pressed behind by Li Feng's steely arm. Li Feng used pure strength to block Jimmy Butler.

took the ball, Li Feng suddenly turned around and bumped into Howard, who was helping to defend under the basket.

Howard saw that Li Feng was coming at him, and he also came up fiercely to directly confront Li Feng, and the bodies of the two people collided together at once.

Li Feng's strength is very fierce, but Howard is a monster in the end, once the two of them collide, they will stagger, Howard took half a step back, and Li Feng's ball was also knocked down, which shows the strength of the impact of both sides.

The basketball fell, Li Feng and Howard went to pick up the ball together, at this time Li Feng had an advantage, Li Feng's center of gravity was lower, so Li Feng quickly picked up the basketball first, and picked up the basketball Li Feng directly made another left-handed layup.

Li Feng bypassed Howard's defense at once and finally scored the basketball!

The bull arranged a strong team defense, Li Feng still forced a one-man attack, relying on his body and speed to cross the opponent's outside line, and then relying on strength and skill to force the opponent's inside line, this domineering Cheng dù is simply murderous.

Li Feng played strongly, which was clearly reflected that the Pelicans wanted to play really.

The same is true for the Bulls at this time, when Paul took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced towards the Pelicans' half.

The Bulls actually played a fast pace at this time, which surprised people, because the Pelicans themselves are in the civilization alliance with fast pace and attack power, but at this time, the Bulls actually came to play a fast pace, which made Pelican fans also admire the courage of the other party.

The Bulls' fast pace also has its own characteristics, at least Paul is in the fast movement, which greatly increases his advantage in possession.

At this time, Luo Teng went up and tried to stop Paul, but was suddenly given up by a very small change of direction from Paul.

Paul let Roten go and didn't slow down to control the rhythm, but slipped straight into the Pelicans' basket, this kind of rhythmless ball doesn't seem like Paul played.

When Paul messed up the rhythm and the Pelicans' defense was a bit messy, Paul suddenly passed the ball to Okafor who was following from behind.

Okafor took the ball up in the air, and it was still an iconic throw, this way of scoring was originally Okafor's housekeeping skill, and this time it was naturally a shot when it came up.

In the second half, the situation really changed greatly, Li Feng on the Pelicans side began to play with all his strength, and the Bulls actually played a fast pace.

The situation of both teams is completely different, and both play their own rhythm. The Pelicans are also murderous at this time. The Pelicans played again, and the basketball was still in Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng stubbornly stuck Jimmy Butler behind him on the wing, and then got the basketball again, and Li Feng just made a turn movement when he got the ball this time. The Bulls' defense immediately shrank towards Li Feng's side, but the Bulls only remembered Li Feng's toughness, but forgot about Li Feng's cunning.

Pau Gasol is counting on this empty cut to score points, and once Li Feng attracts attention above, he will have countless opportunities to take advantage of below.

Pau Gasol, who had the ball, looked like a simple layup, and the big hand was a little easier to send the basketball into the Bulls' basket.

The Pelicans began to attack the Bulls' low post again in the second half. It looks like the Bulls' low post is still vulnerable.

Just after the Pelicans scored, Paul on the Bulls' side took the ball and quickly advanced towards the Pelicans' half.

Paul's rapid advance was really a bug, and the Pelicans didn't stop Paul's rapid advancement.

However, at this time, when Li Feng pounced and wanted to wrap up Paul, Paul took the ball and suddenly passed it to Jimmy Butler behind him.

Li Feng pounced to defend Paul, Jimmy Butler's instant vacancy, and the moment Jimmy Butler got the ball, he also took a step back and raised his hand to throw a three-pointer.

Jimmy Butler's three-point throw was extremely decisive, and Li Feng was completely late when he went back!

"Huh!"

Jimmy Butler's three-pointer was simply hit, and the Pelicans scored on two consecutive games. Not to be outdone, the bulls are not to be outdone.

At this point in the game, the two teams saw the red bayonets and began to fight for real things, and once this competition began. Sure enough, the competition started to be extremely intense.

When the game reached this point, both teams had no way out and began to fight frantically.

When Li Feng came over again and wanted to get in the position, Howard actually came up in advance to help defend, in this case. Li Feng naturally couldn't catch the ball here, and Li Feng's low-post tactics of the Pelicans were immediately stillborn.

But at this point, the Pelicans immediately moved the basketball to the weak side, and Granger, who was on the weak side, fired a three-pointer. Although it is an empty seat, it misses.

Once the Pelicans missed a three-point shot, the Bulls immediately grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and rushed towards the Pelicans' half.

The bull played very fast and fiercely at this time, but this kind of fast tactics is also destined to test the player's suzhì even more.

When Paul took the ball this round and suddenly passed the ball to Okafor under the basket, Okafor inevitably made a mistake, he didn't catch the ball well, the basketball fell, and it happened to fall into Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng won the basketball here, and immediately turned around and went to the Bulls' half court. Li Feng also launched a fast attack, but Li Feng's fast attack was different from Paul, Paul was full of complex commotion, but Li Feng was rampant.

At this time, Li Feng rushed up with the ball, knocked Jimmy Butler to the side with one shoulder, and then took a bully step, one step into the three-point line, and it was a tomahawk-style dunk.

"Bang Dang"

Li Feng's violent dunk was like a thunderbolt, and it ignited great enthusiasm in the center of New Orleans at once. The stadium was as hot as churning lava, and as deafening as the howling wind.

The center of New Orleans roared, and the audience of more than 20,000 people set off an earth-shaking wave.

"Boom, boom!"

Li Feng's violent dunk ignited the earth-shaking sound of the home field.

In the midst of this monstrous sound, Li Feng landed and yelled at the court, and the Pelicans fans and players were all aroused with a full chest.

Seeing that the pelican's monstrous enthusiasm is about to eat the bull in one go, the bull is absolutely weak at this time.

But at this time, Paul was not overwhelmed by the Pelican's enthusiasm, he still maintained a fighting spirit, and in the face of adversity, Paul still wanted to win, and he still did not forget his own purpose.

When the Pelicans were at their highest, Paul flew to the baseline and yelled at Howard:

"Ball! Ball! ”

Howard sluggishly passed the basketball to Paul's roar, and the moment Paul got the ball, he rushed towards the Pelicans' half court in the midst of the monstrous sound in the center of New Orleans.

At this time, Paul's stature was small, but the will in his chest was swallowing, fearless, and there was no fear at all.

Such Paul rushed up, and Roten hurriedly went to delay Paul. Paul turned around and stuck to Roten's body in the face of the rushing Roten. Luo Teng was about to exert his strength, and Paul quickly leaned Luo Teng behind him in one step as if he were a spinning top.

Paul's difficult ball control under high confrontation is definitely the top level in the league.

Paul passed Luo Teng one time on this side, and Li Feng immediately stood in front of Paul from the other side, and this kind of defense was tight enough.

Li Feng's defense, the rhythm is just right, just blocked the gap when Paul finished a difficult move, and the rhythm of ordinary people at this time is just not able to catch up, and they are helpless, but Paul can still control the ball at this time. As if he had completely violated the principles of physics, he faced Li Feng, and suddenly a very low, very fast one-handed left and right change direction, "Bang!" Paul's two hits were so fast, like a machine gun, and the center of gravity was so low that the basketball barely left the floor.

This kind of action can also be done by street ball players, but it is definitely not something that can be played at high confrontation and high speed at the NBA level. But Paul was in the midst of this high confrontation. Facing Li Feng between the lightning and flint is to play out.

Paul took his skills to the extreme at this moment, and Li Feng made a mistake at this time.

He went to break Paul, and Paul controlled the basketball like this, unless Li Feng fouled. Otherwise, there is no chance to break the ball at all, so at the moment when Li Feng stretched out his hand. Paul's body twisted, and the whole person rushed in front of Li Feng like a ghost.

Just now Li Feng detonated the whole court with a violent dunk, and now Paul is here to shock the ball skills. So the stadium was immediately filled with sighs.

"Boom, boom!"

The sighs on the court were long, and Paul was already heading towards the basket.

Li Feng also woke up to what had happened, and he turned around and chased after Paul.

The confrontation between Li Feng and Paul is not over yet. Paul, too, sensed the pursuers behind him.

He didn't speed up the layup, but slowed down and stuck to Li Feng, stuck to Li Feng to prevent Li Feng from jumping up, and then used the power of the collision with Li Feng to make a low low hand layup.

Basketball wipe the board: "Whew! "I'm in!

Just after Li Feng's violent dunk, Paul immediately made a continuous layup, and also staged a shocking pass.

The Bulls fans and bench players were excited, and the Bulls' bench players jumped up from the bench, waving towels and yelling.

The momentum of the Pelicans has risen, and the momentum of the Bulls has also come, and when the two teams are preparing for a decisive battle in the third quarter, the two teams have reached a high level of mental state at the same time. Tide.

This situation where both teams reached the highest point at the same time made the game exciting all of a sudden, and both the fans over there were very excited.

At this moment in the game, Li Feng also understood that this was the decisive moment, and whoever lost at this moment would die. So he took the ball with angry eyes, and came up to fight the bull fiercely.

In order to suppress Li Feng at this time, the Bulls still suppressed Li Feng with Jimmy Butler and Howard.

Li Feng took the ball and collided with the two fiercely, and the two players of the Bulls, a big center and a sapper player, still couldn't suppress Li Feng.

Li Feng and two people collided hard into the penalty area, at this time the Bull couldn't help but come to another person to wrap Li Feng, Li Feng at this time a mysterious pass to Pau Gasol in the corner.

Pau Gasol got up and made a layup, at this time Pau Gasol was nine out of ten with the ball, and he shot too steadily. At this time, the Bulls and Pelicans were already crazy, Pau Gasol's side was a little more stable, and Jimmy Butler turned around and slapped Pau Gasol down.

"Force!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the two teams played so hotly that there was finally a dead ball, and Pau Gasol hit one of two free throws from the free throw line, and the Pelicans scored a point.

The Pelicans scored a point and quickly stepped back, at which point the Bulls' fast break could not be completed, and Paul took the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced up.

At this time, the pelicans have already protected half of the court, but at this time, Paul's fighting spirit is like a flame, if it can't be waved at an extraordinary rhythm, Paul himself is afraid that he will explode. (To be continued......)
