Chapter 993: The Fifth Four Pairs

After that, Aldridge also missed the shot, and he sensed that something was wrong the moment he shot, and after landing, he rushed into the box to prepare for a self-throwing and self-stealing basket.

But how can it be so simple, Li Feng also went with him, the rebound was originally Robin Lopez's, but as soon as the two were mixed, Robin Lopez touched the ball was picked up by Li Feng, and Gasol, who was a step late, picked up the cheap and grabbed the rebound.

The Pelicans attacked, and Turner made another long-range shot from beyond the three-point line, hitting a three-pointer like a stab in the heart of the Trail Blazers.

At this point, the Pelicans' lead was in double digits, Tristotz was in a hurry, and quickly called a timeout, and he replaced Afrado on the court, and the Trail Blazers' best sixth man came on.

Van Gundy also made a timely change, with Turner coming down and Thornton coming on.

Thornton focused on Afrado, who got the ball and Thornton leaned sideways in front of him. Avrador flicked his shot, then took a quick step, slashing forward like a whirlwind.

Thornton's defense is known for his iron will, his speed and explosiveness are even better than Avrado's, followed behind and was not thrown away, during which he also pushed him twice, Afrado finally entered the penalty area, and when he threw his hand to the basket, he was almost blocked by Thornton, and the ball bounced out in the hoop.

Seeing this, Li Feng followed from behind and grabbed the ball.

Turning around, Thornton responded, he also broke through the layup, Afrado's size limit makes him often feel like he is being demanded in the face of excellent handlers such as Marshall and Paul, he is really fast, but the lateral movement is not fast enough, so that once the opponent changes direction, he is easy to be thrown away.

Thornton used a change of direction to deal with him, two consecutive changes of direction, Afrado couldn't bear it, Li Feng stuck Aldridge to give Thornton a breakthrough path, and finally Robin Lopez fouled to curb Thornton's breakthrough dunk.

After hitting both free throws, Thornton chose to break through again, and he forced Afrado to go inside for a low-handed layup and scored four straight points.

Avrado attacked fiercely, hitting back with a breakaway layup, after which the Pelicans repeatedly launched fast breaks, Thornton made a layup, Li Feng made a layup, and after the first quarter, they led the opponent by double digits at 29-18.

In the second quarter, Tristotts had to replace the hapless Robin Lopez with Miles Leonard, who had already committed two fouls.

Miles Leonard came on the court in fear, and when he saw him, Li Feng laughed.

The Trail Blazers possessed the ball, Aldridge chose to single Li Feng, the team's offense was ineffective in the first quarter, and he, the boss, was to bear the main responsibility.

Breaking through is naturally useless, Li Feng's speed and explosiveness are much stronger than Aldridge's, so he chose to play with his back, "bang", "bang", "bang", the sound of body impact sounded under the basket, Aldridge slapped the ball with one hand and hit it hard with his shoulder.

Li Feng took a few steps back in a row, but just after Aldridge pushed into the penalty area, he suddenly exerted force, so that Aldridge could no longer move. On the periphery, Gasol and Kelly are already on the verge of outflanking.

Aldridge was in a hurry, this is really unlucky, this position is on the edge of the penalty area, you can't get in or out.

Lillard was prepared, he cut in from the middle, Aldridge hurriedly passed the ball, and after getting the ball, Lillard threw it directly outside the three-point line, and Afrado got up and down to cut down the three-point line.

This offense shows how good Lillard can be, and he already thinks about how to score before he picks up his teammates, just like in a chess tournament, the real grandmaster is the next move and three moves.

The Pelicans attacked, and Marshall gestured to Li Feng, who immediately pulled out from the inside, which meant to give Thornton a chance to play alone.

Thornton ran inside, Afrado wanted to chase, but Li Feng stuck him. Miles Leonard waved his arms to intercept Thornton, his body dropped sharply, Thornton was as fast as an electric rabbit, toot, and the person was gone.

Marshall passed, Thornton rushed to the box and then turned and shot, and lightly sent the ball into the hoop.

Tristotts shook his head helplessly, the team's defense is terrible, which is also the reason why the Trail Blazers can't win the championship, their lineup looks very dazzling, and the offensive table is also very dazzling, but the defense is too bad.

There was a problem on the defensive end, and the Trail Blazers seemed to make up for it on the offensive end, with Aldridge taking Li Feng on the outside and Myles Leonard holding Gasol to open up space in the restricted area.

Lillard quickly calculated in his heart, and he felt that Miles Leonard had an advantage in playing Gasol, so he passed the ball in.

Miles Leonard really wanted to hit Li Feng for a slam dunk, so that his value would inevitably skyrocket, but he also knew that this was a pipe dream, which was impossible, so he lowered the target a little and changed it to a dunk that hit Gasol.

However, this is also impossible.

Miles Leonard slammed backwards, Gasol screamed and flew upside down, and the referee walked up coldly and gave Miles Leonard an offensive foul.

Miles Leonard felt that he had been insulted by both IQ and EQ and ball quotient, so he went after the referee to explain, and the referee didn't care about a little minion like him, insisted on the penalty, and gave the Pelicans the ball.

The Pelicans attacked, and Marshall waved again to signal Li Feng to leave the restricted area to give Thornton a chance.

Thornton ran inside from outside the three-point line, and Miles Leonard and Afrado went together to intercept him, and the two formed two lines of defense, one tall and one short, one slow and one fast, just to block Thornton.

As a result, Thornton did not greet the attack, and Li Feng's cross-cut gave him a better chance, he picked the ball in his hand to the hoop, and a huge figure rose from the ground and waved the ball off.

With the ball in his hand and slashing to the floor, Li Feng strode into the penalty area, like a sharp arrow into the sky, he jumped up against the hoop.

Violent buckle succeeds.

The Pelicans went crazy, and then Batum took advantage of Lillard's pass to get to the basket, and Miles Leonard hurriedly stuck Li Feng sideways to give his teammates a chance to score.

He underestimated Li Feng's fighting spirit today, and Batum also underestimated this.

Seeing that Batum was about to make a move, Li Feng, who was stuck by Miles Leonard, had tensed up all over his body, and his body leaned forward suddenly, crushing Miles Leonard like a tank, pushing him all the way to the penalty area.

Then, an eagle-like body flew into the air, and Li Feng aimed at the ball raised by Batum with his big hand and slapped it:

"Get out!"

With a thunderbolt-like roar, Li Feng nailed the ball to the rebound.

This imposing block completely shocked the fans in the stadium, Stotts was very depressed, constantly protesting, shouting: "This ball defensive foul this ball must be a defensive foul he crashed in, blow him"

The referees were annoyed, but Li Feng did have a misunderstanding of the ball, so he went to the rostrum to replay the game.

Analyzing this action in slow motion from the screen, it is even more shocking, from Li Feng hitting Miles Leonard to the penalty area, to him striding out to catch up with Batum, and finally blocking, it is really full of momentum.

The referees discussed it, and this block is okay and reasonable.

This result made Pelican fans rejoice, and a huge wave of noise swept through the stadium, and people kept shouting:

"Li Feng MVP!"

"Kill the pioneer cubs, for glory, for victory!"

"Fierce Beast Striker, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Li Feng!"

Li Feng also showed momentum, and he yelled at Batum:

"Kind of if you keep coming, I'm going to give you ten hats today!"

Li Feng's block was too shocking, which affected the confidence of the Trail Blazers players, and Afrado then attacked a little sloppily, getting the ball and shooting from a distance, but the iron popped up, and Li Feng grabbed the rebound again.

Van Gundy threw his fists hard and shouted in a vicissitudes of life:

"Well done, boys, just give me such a fucking fool!"

The grievances that he had been holding back in his heart for a long time were finally released in the crazy attacks and defenses of Li Feng and Thornton again and again.

Li Feng licked his lips, and the Pelicans quickly returned to defense and launched a 23-joint defense.

Li Feng and Thornton stood behind, and the remaining three stood outside, the Pelicans arranged the defense in this way, which can be more economical, generally speaking, mainly when the opponent's interior line is particularly strong or their own interior line is particularly weak, they will use 23 joint defense, the advantage is that the defense under the basket is enhanced, of course, the periphery is weak, and the opponent is afraid of three-point accuracy.

But the Pelicans are not afraid, they are stronger against stronger, and Li Feng's defense of the restricted area is to force the Trail Blazers to keep shooting three points from a distance.

Shooting is a shot that can't be killed......

The Pelicans suddenly made a big move of 23 joint defense, and the Trail Blazers were a little overwhelmed.

It's always easier to score as close to the hoop as possible, so as long as it's not a specific tactic, most teams will get the ball carrier closer and closer to the hoop by breaking or passing the ball, and thus fall into the Pelicans' trap.

Aldridge ran back into the penalty area, and after getting the ball, he made a quick jumper, Thornton pushed him in front, and Li Feng took the opportunity to kill and send a big hat.

The Pelicans attacked, Li Feng played with his back inside, Miles Leonard and Robin Lopez had the same problem, the defense was tough, but his pace was too slow.

Li Feng waved his arm and made a hook hand shooting feint, and Miles Leonard's center of gravity was raised, seeing this, he quickly turned around, went around to the basket and put the ball away, and raised it above his head to make a thunderbolt dunk.

Fans were full of grievances about Miles Leonard's poor defense, and boos rang out like whistles from all directions.

The Trail Blazers still chose to break through, but Afrado entered the interior but was caught by Li Feng and Weiss, he made a mistake in passing, the ball was stealed by Kelly, and the Pelicans played a big fast break and continued to destroy the Trail Blazers restricted area.

Seeing this, Lillard immediately changed his move, and he had to pass the ball to his outside teammates and ask them to use long shots or long shots to solve the opponent.

Aldridge is a big man after all, and a Gasol can't limit him, and he hits two shots in a row around the three-point line, both of which can be called key shots, although they can't narrow the score further, but they are enough to ⊥ the score less ugly.

But then, Thornton began to exert his power, he scored four points with a sudden shot, and then stole Lillard's pass and came to a counterattack layup, Afrado returned to the defense and pushed Thornton in time, but the latter took the opportunity to rush up and throw his life, winning a 2+1!

Aldridge hit a jumper, Turner immediately threw his third three-pointer of the game, Lillard and Batum cooperated to chase 6 points in a row, and Li Feng forced Myles Leonard to make two fouls and free throws.

Late in the quarter, Turner hit another three-pointer from distance, and the Pelicans led by nearly two points at 46-44 at the end of the first half.

Trail Blazers fans were extremely dissatisfied with this result, and on the way to the locker room, someone yelled at Aldridge and others:

"Is this the pride of Portland? Are you just taking us to the championship? Did the Trail Blazers degenerate into this? ”

One sentence made the players look ugly, and they were powerless to fight back, because the Pelicans played them really ugly.

The team system can change, the team tactics can change, and the team lineup can change. But if the core of the team remains the same, then the team will be a new bottle of old wine no matter how it changes, and if the characteristics and style of the team's core remain the same, then the team is still essentially an old team.

The Trail Blazers are aware of their problems, but they don't have a solution.

The Pelicans began the second quarter with a combined defense. The so-called joint defense is the awareness of joint defense, that is to say, the limit is divided into 6 small areas, each person takes care of a area, and is responsible for any action the opponent does in his own area, so that it is easy to pack and combine the opponent.

Van Gundy saw that the joint defense worked, and naturally asked the players to stick to this tactic when he was on the field, and the joint defense can use the joint defense method to reduce fouls when the team has more fouls, and can also curb the opponent's strong breakthrough ability or perimeter long-range shooting ability.

The pressure is all on Tristots' side, and the joint defense is most afraid of fast attack, which everyone knows, and the joint defense is not formed in the fast break, so it has no power, but the Trail Blazers are in the veteran camp, so their fast attack is not fast enough and the threat is not strong enough.

In addition, the joint defense is afraid of rushing to grab the rebound in the front court, because the card of the joint defense is not as strict as the marking defense, once someone rushes into the restricted area to grab the front court rebound, it is easy to make the joint defense into chaos, as long as the inside line shrinks the defense line into the penalty area, someone can get a vacant opportunity.

However, the Trail Blazers still can't do this, and Aldridge is a big forward with a rebounding ability comparable to that of a small forward. Miles Leonard is very good at grabbing rebounds due to his height, but Li Feng is right in front of them.

Thinking about this, Tristotts began to scratch his head with some annoyance, each joint defense has its own flaws, and different formations have gaps, so there is no effect after the gaps are caught. He struggled to find flaws in the Pelicans' players, most of them were found, and only one was not.

He can't find a flaw in the defense is Li Feng, and Li Feng is the core of the Pelicans' defense, so the flaws found in this way are still equal to not flaws - they can find them, and Li Feng knows them, so these flaws are often traps.

In this way, Tristotts could only say helplessly:

"Guys, let's be patient on offense next, pass the ball more, keep passing the ball and keep those bastards on the Pelicans running, I don't believe they're all Iron Warriors"

In this arrangement, Tristotts has a worrying problem, that is, there is still a loophole in the joint defense, that is, the defense is not prevented from shooting, if someone feels hot and can shoot repeatedly, the Pelicans will definitely collapse.

Tristotts was afraid that if someone really thought that, that would be bad, and that he wanted team basketball not heroism.

The ball in the third quarter was still with the Trail Blazers, and Lillard did not rest and led the game again......

Lillard directed his teammates through the ball, and they made dangerous wide transfers, but the Pelicans' combined defense had become the climate, and the basketball went round and round between the perimeter players before finally returning to the core Aldridge.

Clapping the ball with one hand, Aldridge stared at the hoop and leaned down to slowly step forward.

Gasol was replaced, and it was Henson, who was more defensive, who came on the field, and he stared at Aldridge specifically, so he went up and stuck him toughly, foaming at the mouth and spewing trash talk:

"Handsome guy, hand over your balls obediently, look at the way you are now, you're already going to collapse, aren't you? Come on, give me the ball, I'll send you home, wouldn't it be better to go home and go to your mother to have a good cry? ”

"Oh my God, man, you're dribbling the ball in your crotch, what are you going to do? Ready to stuff the ball into your own? Do you call this a crotch dribble? Watch out for your balls, man! ”

Henson stood up to Aldridge, he constantly used small means, one after another, what screwing, grabbing, pushing, stepping, tearing the jersey, these tricks are endless.

Seeing that Aldridge couldn't get rid of the energetic Henson, Avrado used his superior flexibility to take over possession from Aldridge in the high post.

After the pass, Ade immediately ran inside, his position was well chosen, just fell into the inside space, the Pelicans' joint defense was a little disrupted, Afrado was quick to pass, Aldridge turned over and jumped, and sent the ball into the hoop.

At this time, the red light also lit up on the rebound, and the Trail Blazers were about to eat a second violation.

When the basketball entered the circle, Aldridge's frowning brow finally relaxed, and the second half was off to a good start.

The Trail Blazers also used joint defense, and Pierce, who came off the bench, quickly ran through the half court and then tried inside, and Afrado and Lillard did not hesitate to wrap him, seeing this, Pierce withdrew and passed the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng came to cover Pierce, but the ball was in his hands.

The responsibility of defending Li Feng was handed over to Aldridge's side, and Ade's face was solemn, as if he was going to face a world war, and he opened his hand to stop Li Feng.

Li Feng leaned sideways against Aldridge and took a tentative step forward, leaning forward with his right shoulder to make a breakthrough. Seeing this, Aldridge was surprised, so he hurriedly took half a step back and stuck in advance of the position.

But as soon as he retreated, he found that it was broken, and Li Feng was just feint, so that he had room to shoot.

Li Feng did not hesitate, his arms were raised high and his legs were bent, and he was about to jump up.

Aldridge's face changed dramatically, and he immediately pounced again. Li Feng was just a feint, and when he rushed forward, the ball in his right hand struck lightly on the floor, and his left hand grabbed the ball and broke through from Ade's right side.

Passing Ade, Li Feng faced Batum, who was making up for the defense, and quickly changed direction, Batum suddenly hesitated, this stunned appeared a loophole, Li Feng cut past him and rushed into the penalty area.

Seeing this, the Trail Blazers fans stood up nervously, and their eyes were on Miles Leonard, which was the last line of defense.

Miles Leonard opened his arms to block at the top of the penalty area, Li Feng attacked hard, Miles Leonard squatted down and then exerted force, using his lower abdomen to resist his body.

Finally blocked this guy, Miles Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as this breath came to his throat, he suddenly became anxious, because Li Feng, who was stuck by him, was gone.

I saw Li Feng leaning on Miles Leonard, twisting his thick body, using his strong waist and abdominal strength to force a circle, and passing Miles Leonard with a beautiful turn, so that the hoop was close at hand.

Li Feng originally wanted to make a violent dunk, but then felt that it was unnecessary, their momentum was strong enough, so he provoked his wrist to send the ball into the hoop.

This attack is a blow to the momentum of the Trailblazers, Li Feng entered the penalty area from a high position, broke through three people in a row, and finally scored so easily, how can this kind of person defend? .

Tristotts couldn't understand why the same joint defense, which was so powerful in the hands of the Pelicans, was useless in the hands of his team.

Aldridge also chose to go head-to-head, he got rid of Henson and Kelly entangled, and finally used his veteran experience to shake off Kelly, Li Feng's defense line came out again, and now he was out of line.

Aldridge was stuck on the inside by Li Feng, and the Trail Blazers had a bigger problem, there were too few people who could pick up Aldridge, the outside line had been blocked, and the inside Miles Leonard's running awareness and ability were almost none, and he would only stay where he was and wait for the ball, so that the opponent would defend one by one.

Aldridge had no choice but to force his shot, and in order to avoid being blocked, he could only increase the height of his shot, so that the basketball jumped and flew on the hoop with a heavy blow, and hit the iron.

Li Feng turned around and grabbed the rebound, he threw it to Pierce, and the Pelicans started the fast break again.

The reason why the Trail Blazers' joint defense is less powerful is because their defense line can't be pulled up, and it is constantly changing, for example, at this moment the Pelicans launched a fast attack, they simply didn't have time to arrange the defense of the joint defense, in addition, Pierce attacked quickly, and he scored a layup when he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

After that, the Trail Blazers' offense encountered a dead-ball crisis again, Li Feng took the opportunity to grab the ball in Aldridge's arms, the referee blew for the ball, and the fans booed wildly, but it was useless.

Li Feng took the ball as a matter of course, and the Pelicans offense was at the same fast pace, but this time it was not a breakthrough layup, but Thornton made a three-point shot, and the difference between the two was reduced to 20 points.

Tristots had no choice but to call a timeout......

From the beginning, the Pelicans were pressing the Trail Blazers to play, and the Trail Blazers were completely restrained by it.

Especially today, the Pelicans killed a passionate, and after the third quarter confirmed the hope of victory, the Pelicans didn't care, and still worked together to play the finals, and never let go.

So, after the end of the game, the Pelicans defeated the opponent by 34 points at l25-91.

It's more interesting now, it's not news that the first in the West and the fourth in the West are not news, but they can win close to 34 points, which makes many people fall through the glasses.

Li Feng was very powerful in this game. The score is not much, only 24 points. But with 14 rebounds, 11 assists and 10 blocks, he recorded a record quadruple-double and became the fifth player in history to score a quadruple-double. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
