Chapter 910: Sweep Sweep
No wonder Tillon Boggs was extremely surprised, even Van Gundy was extremely surprised at this time, he knew that DJ Augustine had changed, but he thought about the situation in which DJ Augustine used his position.
At this time, even Li Feng was shocked, he suddenly realized one thing, maybe his physical fitness for basketball will be poor, a person may not have a super Su zhì will become the core of the person who will make the most use of his ball skills and wisdom, and the person who always allows himself to appear in a reasonable mood may be easier to lead the team to success.
As soon as DJ Augustin walked off the court, these players who were sitting in the rest seats immediately came over to hug DJ Augustin collectively, and his table on the court today was enough to describe it in one word.
DJ Augustin, who was smug on the court, returned to his teammates and smiled smiling.
"Hey, Oladipo did a great job, you can't even find North by playing those Spurs guys."
"Hey, Oladipo, your basket is amazing."
Everyone was praising Oladi Polejack as a shooter, he was a bit unnatural, and at this time, Li Feng said to Arenas:
"You want your shooting talent to be good at Oladipo, but do you know why you don't have this kind of performance?"
"I don't have his thief."
Arenas spread out his palms and said helplessly.
After the Spurs made a substitution, they immediately turned around and began to hit Dior, Dior's duck steps against Millsap, Brand, and Li Feng didn't work, but only against Brand was used.
Two or three steps; After Brand directly attacked the basket, the Pelicans still wanted to rely on DJ Augustin's ability to play alone, but Oladipo was immediately seen dead after the Spurs' half, and another Parker was stared at in the back.
Oladipo looked at the two opponents, and he suddenly ran fast from the baseline to catch the ball, but at this time, the Spurs' defensive focus was on Oladipo. Oladipo was finally forced to shoot a three-point shot that he was not good at.
As a shooter, not good at three-pointers, but good at two-pointers, it was destined to be a mediocre shooter, Oladipo missed three points, and this time the Pelicans missed the shot for the first time with DJ Augustin as the core.
Now Van Gundy glanced at his watch, Oladipo had bought everyone 3 minutes and 6 seconds, and immediately replaced Li Feng as a power forward, Henson as a center, Caron Butler as a small forward, Arenas as a scoring guard, and then Rose as a point guard.
At this point, Van Gundy called a timeout. The Pelicans' main players stood up from the bench, and at that moment, suddenly the entire ATT arena seemed to be quiet.
Hubby Brown was also stunned, and he shouted:
"Oh, oh, he's back, he's back."
Li Feng thought to himself who came back and made such a fuss than Brown, at this time Li Feng looked up and saw that the big screen of the ATT arena was showing Millsap in a wheelchair. Walked out of the players' tunnel under the protection of medical staff.
Seeing Millsap, who was still bandaged on his feet, appeared at the ATT arena and appeared in the players' tunnel, Li Feng hurriedly turned around and saw Millsap, and the other Pelicans players also saw the big screen at this time. Then, when they looked back at Millsap together, they saw Millsap in a wheelchair waving to everyone.
A guy who had already injured his foot and was destined not to return to the court returned to the ATT arena at this time, and this spirit suddenly lifted the Pelicans and other players.
Tyrone Boggs was also shouting:
"Paul is back. He's back, he's back at ATT, and he knows his mission isn't done. He came to watch his companions finish the race. ”
At this time, even though it was the home stadium of the Spurs, even though it was Paul's action that this was the ATT arena, he still made the ATT arena stand up and applaud Millsap and cheer for Millsap, at this time the entire ATT arena stood up, a man who never gave up, a man who was seriously injured and still wanted to come back.
It moved all the spectators at once, whether you were a fan of that team or whether you liked Millsap before or not, but at the moment he moved everyone with pure sportsmanship and pure competitive spirit.
The ATT arena was mixed with cheers and applause, and the Pelicans players shook their white towels to welcome the guy back, and got permission to get Millsap to the bench with his injured foot.
The Pelicans players immediately surrounded Millsap, who saw his teammates at this time, looked at the score again, and his teammates actually took the lead without themselves, and the lead was not small.
At this time, Millsap asked everyone to come over and said slowly:
"My friends, this may be the last time I'll be on the pitch in the next year, if not months, so let's win"
As soon as Millsap's voice fell, the Pelicans' main forces immediately shouted:
"Victory"
In this way, under the gaze of Millsap, the Pelicans' main players stepped onto the court, and at this time, Ginobili saw that completely fearless gaze in the eyes of this group, which made people almost think of dodging when they saw it, so that they would feel the fragility in their hearts when they saw it.
The Pelicans kicked off, Rose dribbled over, and passed the basketball to Li Feng, the ball was in the Pelicans' hands, but the ATT arena still resounded with countless applause, because at this time, Millsap actually broke free from the hands of the medical staff, stood up and made a V-shaped gesture of victory towards Li Feng.
In the cheers of the ATT arena, Li Feng suddenly accelerated, accelerated in a straight line, without any tricks, one step was just a ferocious step, Dior was left behind by Li Feng, watching Li Feng devote himself to the Spurs' heavily defended interior line.
At this time, in Dior's eyes, Li Feng doesn't look like a human at all, he is like a human hero who has rushed into thousands of troops in the Lord of the Rings, he is like a flame, he can burn a qiē around him, even the powerful Duncan can't stop this guy who is not human at all.
Seeing Li Feng rushing into his position on the sideline, Popovich glanced back at the defective ATT arena, and he sighed:
"Lost."
In the end, Li Feng scored 30 points, 17 rebounds, 15 assists, 7 steals and 4 blocks, and finished the Spurs.
4-0, the Pelicans swept the Spurs.
No one could have imagined that the San Antonio Spurs. Last year's Western Conference champion was swept by this year's newly formed team, and there was no resistance, even if Duncan broke out.
Then the Pelicans entered the Finals, while the Nets and Bulls were still in the Eastern Conference Finals, and finally the Nets narrowly defeated the Bulls 4-3, and the Pelicans and Nets played in the Finals to compete for the O'Brien Cup.
The Finals, the Pelicans' first opener, took place at 9 p.m.
Walked into the dimly lit passage of the players' tunnel. Everyone has been waiting for Li Feng to appear, and as soon as Li Feng came out, the fans couldn't bear it anymore.
The New Orleans Center was cheering to the fullest, the DJ on the scene was desperately shouting loudly The cheerleading girls bent over, Li Feng They could see Bai Huahua's cleavage from their own perspective, here Li Feng smiled, entering the finals, the Pelicans had no burden and no fear.
The players at the New Orleans Center cheered. After a while, he began to shout the names of every Pelican player, and Li Feng was the last to appear, which represented his status, and he was the first person in the Pelicans. He's the team's deserved boss on the pitch.
For a moment, the New Orleans Center fell into a frenzy, with countless fans dancing and partying in the stands, all of them crazy about their new idols.
Listen to this cheer and shake the heart of New Orleans. At this time, Li Feng suddenly remembered Zhao Chuan's song, "When thousands of hands wave for me, when thousands of hearts move me." Li Feng really developed this sense of identity and belonging at this time.
The Pelicans' interior twin towers are out. Center Brand, power forward Henson, small forward Li Feng, scoring guard Oladipo, point guard Rose.
When the Pelicans players were on the court, the Nets started to play, and they were the first to come out was Deron Williams, then Joe Johnson, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Garnett, and Brook Lopez.
When Garnett walked out of the tunnel, he was greeted not by cheers, but by deafening boos, which poured in on Garnett from all directions, and they were desperately booing the big man.
The lineup of the two teams came out, and this was still broadcast by TNT's TV station, and Li Feng's old friend was sitting in the broadcast seat.
Barkley and Kenny Smith had a conversation at the beginning of the game.
"Look at the Pelicans' lineup is really similar to the pre-game prediction, Charles, they are not tall, they are all fat."
Kenny Smith won't miss an opportunity to attack Barkley, and now is the best chance for Kenny Smith.
"If it's five of us forming a team, we'll beat that Jordan guy home and nurse it, and the Olympics will only need the five of us to go, and the five of us can grab rebounds, shoot, break through, and have no problem attacking in the low post, then it will probably be the strongest lineup, five Barkley, even better than No Jordan, because the five of us definitely have more advantages on the inside."
Barkley would have been afraid of Kenny Smith's attack, and he had been prepared, or rather he was ready to go toe-to-toe with Kenny Smith.
"Oh."
Kenny Smith was about to shake his head when it occurred to him the question of bad luck.
Because then Barkley is going to talk about what five Kenny Smiths are going to do, and that's five little fools waiting to shoot.
The two teams were fighting for the ball in the middle circle, Thornton and Garnett jumped the ball, the referee blew the whistle, Garnett was really still on the bounce, but Henson was also easy to mess with below, and now he has become a lot wilder, reaching out and moving up, and suddenly touched Garnett's arm.
"Force!"
The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Henson was a scrum violation at the beginning, which shows that the smell of gunpowder in this game will definitely not be small, and at this time, the New Orleans Center began to boo the referee.
The second scrum Henson still had a bit of a violation, but it was in the center of New Orleans, and in the end it was Henson who picked the basketball, so the referee didn't deliberately upset the fans in the center of New Orleans.
The basketball was dialed into Delon's hands, and when he came to the half, he immediately passed the ball to Anthony, he got the basketball and immediately went to Garnett on the inside, Henson's first offense and defense did not use Carlisle's words to go around, he just wanted to experience what kind of level he can achieve, what step he can do.
Henson was ready to put up a hard fight on Garnett in the back. Garnett was ready to hit the Pelicans when Millsap was gone, so he quickly hit the ball backwards, but he quickly discovered that Henson was also cunning and learned to use the muscles of his body to unload the power of his collision.
This made Garnett very unhappy, and the fans in the center of New Orleans began to boo, and from the moment Garnett got the ball, the whole stadium was booing wildly.
Since then, Garnett has been unhappy in his heart, and his body is also unhappy, and it was not a difficult offense, but Garnett just didn't score, and the basketball jumped out.
Then Brandka held up Brook Lopez and grabbed the rebound in his own hands. After Brand snatched the rebound in the air, he immediately threw it to Li Feng, and then Brook Lopez behind him scolded something, which Brand didn't understand anyway.
Li Feng received the basketball, and then flew the dribble to run to the Pelicans' half, the Nets are up here and there is a shortage of people on the outside, and the Pelicans here look empty after the inside line is without Millsap and Al Jefferson, but Li Feng doesn't see it that way. Brand brought something to the team that even Millsap couldn't do.
So when there was Brand in the team, Van Gundy also sensitively noticed this and made the team's key offensive tactics into two words.
The Shaolin punch and kick in front of the pelican are real kung fu, and everything is real. But now after the Pelicans come to Brand, they are not playing Shaolin boxing, but Tai Chi of the Wudang faction, after the real team kills. One Henson is on the inside with the other four people on the team, changing roles at a rapid pace.
Nets coach Kidd immediately realized that something was really wrong. Because you can watch Brand run to the line, Li Feng and Arenas run low post, and Rose waiting outside, it's a misplaced offensive routine.
After Li Feng and Brand covered, Brand and Arenas covered, and on the other side, Rose passed through Henson to open the space.
Arenas received the basketball, and calmly shot a step in front of Brook Lopez, at this time Arenas gave people an unusually strange feeling, as if he was a knife man, carrying a knife, the knife looked so small in front of a tall opponent lightly just a move.
The big man fell, and now the Nets have this feeling of confusion, and Arenas hit a three-pointer with just one shot.
Arenas's shot was early beyond Van Gundy's tactics, but Van Gundy didn't yell, but laughed, because he knew that a knife man like Arenas couldn't endure loneliness, he needed to make a knife, he needed to see blood, and only then would he get excited.
When everyone else is looking at Li Feng, Arenas is actually the most dangerous, he only needs a small space to kill you.
At this point, even Barkley said:
"The Pelicans' tactics now seem to be completely different from before, they give people a little bit of a different feeling, in the past they would always use clear means, what to do can be seen at a glance, but today, it seems that we can't see what the Pelicans are going to do."
"Haha, Charles, the Pelicans are not like that, although they have a lot of running, but there is only one core is misalignment, don't you see that Brook Lopez can't defend at all, and the Pelicans' Li Feng and Arenas are like two knives, they are high and fast, one is good at shooting and the other is good at confrontation and breakthrough, as long as there is a little omission, this pair of backcourt combinations will make the opponent suffer, and their only single line is Brand's defense here."
Sure enough, after the Nets' ball came back, Kidd immediately asked Brook Lopez to attack inside, Brook Lopez is really much taller than Brand, and his figure is also very good, but Brand is trying to get the recognition of the fans, and he doesn't give Brook Lopezka the chance to play the main position at all.
At this point, Brand's low chassis and strong body came into play, and Brook Lopez didn't have a chance to get into the Pelicans' three-second zone two or three times.
At this time, the spectators in the stands saw Brand defending so hard, and Brand applauded.
"Block!"
Brook Lopez's offense really failed, at this time even in the face of Brand, who was much shorter than himself, he still couldn't play, Brook Lopez's cousin made Kidd sigh, at this time Kidd didn't know that he couldn't stand Brook Lopez in the end.
The Nets didn't even play well on the inside offense in the opening game, and the offensive players didn't complete their tasks, but at this time the Pelicans made a comeback and started their own offense.
Li Feng controlled the ball and the first action of the Nets in the half, which was to cooperate with Brand to block and dismantle. Li Feng beckoned, Brand reached a high position, and then Li Feng quickly cooperated with him to block and dismantle.
At this time, Li Feng and Brand, two guys with very similar body types, are like characters in a movie or cartoon, and the two of them are staggered, and suddenly you have a clear distribution of which one it is.
Lopez and Delon, who defend these two, are also a little dizzy, although the Pelicans used to hate it too, but the Pelicans played directly, hitting wherever they were, unlike now when people suddenly feel dazzled.
Li Feng and Brand are so staggered. Brand suddenly turned around and cut to the inside of the Nets, and then stuck in the position, and suddenly stuck the low position, at this time Li Feng took advantage of the situation to send the basketball to Brand's hands.
Brand's face was Brook Lopez, who was a lot taller than him, while everyone was looking at Brand.
A key figure came out, and Rose suddenly ran over from the outside, stopped next to Brand, and gave Brand a small cover, and the small one covered the big one. Then I saw that Brand, who was supposed to be the big man, made a small move, dribbled a step back, and then shot directly.
The basketball jumped on the hoop, and immediately the competition became fierce under the basket. Garnett and Henson put their arms around each other's necks, and neither let anyone get up first.
The basketball fell, but Garnett's bounce and explosiveness still dominated the absolute advantage, and he clicked the basketball in the air to his side. Then, just as he was about to reach out and catch the basketball, he noticed that Henson had made a small move beside him and actually pulled his own clothes.
The action is small, but the consequences are immediate. With this action, Henson didn't take off the basketball, but his fingers had been dialed to the outside of the three-point line, and outside the three-point line, Li Feng immediately quickly started the basketball and snatched it back.
At this time, the New Orleans Center burst into cheers, and the rebounding rights in the frontcourt returned.
And Kenny Smith said there:
"From the beginning to the current game, the Nets still haven't adapted to the Pelicans, and they seem to have made the Pelicans a little confused for a while."
Kenny Smith said that this is indeed the problem of the Nets right now, but the Nets found that the Pelicans had changed their style, and they simply couldn't adapt to it.
Li Feng took the basketball at this time and began to observe the situation outside the three-point line, and after Brand missed one, there seemed to be no offense.
Arenas's desire to fight is very strong, but his position is not very good, Li Feng is worried that such a big cross will be cut off, and it is not terrible to not be able to shoot, but the terrible thing is that there are many mistakes, and the team with many mistakes often does not know how to lose.
At this time, Li Feng took a large number of Delong in front of him, Li Feng had already begun to make moves, dribbling slightly forward, directly pressing to the edge of the three-point line, Delong didn't know that there was a cheat, and was still retreating, Li Feng felt the rhythm of his footsteps at this time, where he was at the point of shooting.
Suddenly, Li Feng rose from the ground in Delong's surprised gaze, and also rose from the ground in everyone's gaze, three points, and actually shot three points.
The center of New Orleans was very strange and exclaimed, Li Feng's huge body was like a pitch-black fallen leaf, fluttering backwards, and his arms were stretched very straight, as if there was a seven-foot-long man in front of him catching up and capping.
Not only is basketball rare, but one thing is definitely a waste of time, at least one more second in the air, and then the basketball smashes straight up and down into the basket.
Li Feng hit three points, but the New Orleans Center did not cheer, everyone looked at the court as if they were stupid, and everyone didn't know what to do at this time, and they didn't seem to be used to Li Feng being so strong. (To be continued......)
