Chapter 1019: Conflict Again

Once Leonard misses a shot, the Spurs definitely don't just miss an offensive opportunity.

You must know that the Pelicans play what they are best at fast breaking, the foundation is good defense, then backcourt rebounding, and finally a stormy run.

Now that Leonard missed the shot, it just gave the Pelicans such a chance to fight back, and the rebound that bounced back bounced into Kelly's hand.

Kelly knew how the Pelicans should play with the ball, and immediately ran towards the Spurs' half.

The Spurs had already experienced the power of this kid before, so this time when they saw Kelly running over, they immediately rushed over to delay Kelly.

Kelly saw that he was blocked, he immediately passed the ball to Li Feng, who followed behind, Li Feng's situation was not much more than Kelly Hao, and when he got the ball, the opponent was also a double bag immediately.

When Li Feng was about to rush hard, he saw the old guy Pau Gasol, like a senseless bison, slicing into the air frantically in front of him.

Today Pau Gasol was a little completely crazy, Li Feng saw him coming, and immediately passed the ball to Pau Gasol.

Now the Spurs' attention is on Li Feng and Kelly, Pau Gasol is almost unguarded, after this old guy got the ball, he went directly to the basket, he actually wanted to make a two-handed dunk.

Pau Gasol's unscrupulous style of play made the Spurs very unhappy, Gasol is so old and so energetic, is he satirizing the Spurs, Duncan chased after him and fought for a foul in anger, and gave Pau Gasol a slap from the side.

This palm suddenly hit Pau Gasol crookedly from the air, and the ball was out of his hand, but Pau Gasol's ball dribbling was really good today.

Even though the ball in his hand was knocked away, it still fell into the Spurs' basket after smashing the rebound.

And at this time, the referee also gave Duncan a thug foul, and Pau Gasol made another 2+1.

At this moment, Pau Gasol was even more excited, and yelled in front of Duncan.

What kind of person is Duncan. It's the stone Buddha, if the others Duncan may ignore it, Gasol is an old rival Duncan doesn't know why it's on fire, and the two push it up.

The teammates of the two teams came up and quickly separated the two people, and the referee was more sensitive to this situation, and immediately came over to play fifty boards each, and gave Duncan and Pau Gasol a technical foul each.

Duncan and Pau Gasol both received technical fouls, but both were unhappy.

Pau Gasol stood at the free-throw line with an annoyed look on his face and hit a free throw.

Just now, the Spurs called a timeout and not only did not score, but were beaten 2+1 by Pau Gasol again.

That's it. The Spurs finally couldn't control the Pelicans, and the Pelicans whole team was like a beast out of the cage, rushing out and biting all at once, and fighting back desperately from the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was reversed with the offense of Pau Gasol, Kelly and Li Feng.

In such a crucial battle for the first place, the Spurs were actually reversed by the Pelicans in the second half on their home court.

This is no small blow for Spurs. At this time, Bill Walton didn't like to talk much, and the team was beaten like this by the Pelicans, and he, a person with green blood, was naturally uncomfortable.

The team trailed by five points, and at this time Popovich not only did not strengthen the attack. Instead, he began to substitute for the bench.

Now that there are two minutes left in the third quarter, it is indeed time to replace the bench, and Popovich is doing this to obviously fight the Pelicans in the fourth quarter. Now let your main players bring their bodies back.

At this time, Van Gundy was a little entangled, he didn't have as many cards as the Spurs. knew that the fourth quarter was the last time for the decisive victory, but he didn't dare to replace the main players now, he wanted to maintain a 5-point advantage, so when there was only 1 minute left in the third quarter, he replaced Li Feng and the main players.

Van Gundy had fewer cards in his hand, so he was more conservative, and at the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans still led the Spurs by five points at 89-84.

The first game of the Eastern Conference finals was played like this, and the vast majority of Spurs fans found it incredible.

Before the game, the Spurs outperformed the Pelicans in terms of strength on paper and experience.

But now at the end of the game, the lead is actually the Pelicans, which makes many fans unable to understand.

The Pelicans don't have anything, it's just a little harder defensively, there is a Li Feng, and Li Feng's performance today is average, how can he overtake the score.

No matter how you look at it, the Spurs' strength is above the Pelicans, in terms of lineup, experience, and tactics, the Spurs all have an advantage, but in the end of the game, it seems that the Spurs have lost the upper hand, and this is still at the home of the Spurs?

This question lingers in the heads of Spurs fans!

In fact, this matter is simple, the Pelicans are a young team, a team that is very emotional and has a lot of ups and downs.

If you play badly, the Pelicans can play very dull, and if you play well, the Pelicans can play very explosively, and today's Pelicans will burst into seeds, Kelly is about to score 20 points, and Pau Gasol is also a dozen points.

Granger, Rotten, Rotten these Pelicans' conventional weapons have also been captured, the Pelicans have this kind of unexpected surprise, the Spurs are completely unexpected, Kelly and Pau Gasol can also explode, and the Spurs never dreamed of it before.

Getting the Pelicans into a rage was simply the Spurs' biggest mistake.

But it's too late to say anything, and the Spurs' only chance is to finish off the Pelicans in the fourth quarter.

At this time, ATT Center and San Antonio were silent, but the Pelicans and domestic fans cheered.

Now they're hoping that the Pelicans will beat the Spurs and get closer to the Finals.

However, the old Spurs can't be taken lightly.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs did not let all the GDP rest when they came back from the opening game, and at this time Popovich still put Leonard and Danny Green on the court together.

The Spurs wanted to recover the score very strongly, and at the same time, at this time, Li Feng on the Pelicans' side was also replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The two teams did not let the main team fully rest during the original rest time, which shows that the two coaches attach great importance to the game.

The opening came back with the Spurs' ball, and the Spurs came back from Leonard. But it's not just a single.

Leonard hit Li Feng this time, and after attracting enough attention, he suddenly passed the ball to Ginobili on the baseline.

Ginobili took the ball and the Pelicans immediately turned back to pounce on Ginobili, knowing that Ginobili is a good three-point shooting technique.

As a result, the Pelicans' defense was torn apart all of a sudden, and when Manuginobili passed the ball to Danny Green again, Danny Green made a relaxing feint, and then broke directly to the basket to score two points.

The Spurs entered the final quarter, playing hard team, and at this time as the Pelicans should respond, the Pelicans are a team that plays on morale. Without morale they are nothing, so the situation of the pelicans is a bit funny, and in any case the pelicans are also going to slap the swollen face and become fat.

The Pelicans pushed forward quickly, and they had a characteristic position in their position that didn't need to go inside at all.

Roten held the ball at the top of the arc, Li Feng and Granger stood in the bottom corner, and Kelly and Pau Gasol made a double cover together at the top of the arc, which completely tore apart the space in the restricted area, which is very suitable for a team with baskets inside like the Pelicans, and it also steals some of the essence of the Spurs. So far this season, the Spurs have been very fond of playing double screens at the free-throw line.

This is also Popovich's small tactics, one of the league's contributions, the free throw line double screen, this starting style can extend a lot of practical offensive moves.

Now the Pelicans have suddenly pulled out the Spurs sign. The Spurs are funny and angry here.

At this time, Roten suddenly made a breakthrough, forcing the Spurs to squeeze through the defense, and when the Spurs were substitution, Roten suddenly passed the ball to Kelly after blocking and dismantling.

Kelly doesn't have a lot of offensive ability. But he plunged to the basket so suddenly, and the Spurs still had to defend the key point.

At this moment, Kelly received the ball and threw the basketball into the hands of Li Feng on the bottom line. Li Feng is vacant, and the heat before the feeling has not subsided.

Directly shot a three-pointer, and the basketball simply fell into the Spurs' basket.

At this time, when the fourth quarter came back, the Spurs still didn't take advantage of it, and the Pelicans team as a whole was already playing in shape.

The game has reached this point, and the Spurs are really nervous, and now it's time for life and death.

Coming over again, Dior, who came off the bench on the Spurs' side, ran a very cunning move when he was blocking and dismantling, and drilled into the basket between the two Pelicans defenders, at this time Ginobili passed the ball in time, and the Spurs immediately stole two points.

The veterans of the Spurs, this is what makes people quite speechless, they can always use some small tricks, small skills, and small experience to easily get two points.

The Spurs steal points, and the Pelicans come back again, just like in the previous round, playing a double-screen landing with two bottom corners.

The Spurs looked at it again, you are still playing like this, and suddenly these veterans got angry, one imitation can be said to be unexpected, but two imitations of the Spurs touched the Pelican's pulse, and came up to use a contraction defense to prevent the Pelicans from having a chance to cut in the air.

Suddenly, the Pelicans' tactic was a little difficult to use, under the high-intensity defense of the Spurs.

The shortcomings of Roten's inexperience were also revealed, he passed a very dangerous ball and suddenly made a mistake, giving the ball to the Spurs for nothing.

The Spurs came over and seized the opportunity, and Ginobili fed the basketball to Kyle Anderson, who was stuck inside.

Kyle Anderson was very energetic before he was injured, and he immediately turned over with the ball and made a hook hand, Kelly couldn't stop him, but Kyle Anderson's own hand was not very good, and he missed the shot.

Kyle Anderson immediately jumped to the other side of the basket and grabbed the rebound again, Kyle Anderson grabbed the second offensive rebound, and Granger on one side immediately went over and fouled directly, trying to knock Kyle Anderson down with the foul.

But Granger put his hand on Kyle Anderson's arm, and Kyle Anderson made a layup in annoyance, and raised his elbow to give Granger an elbow in the face.

Granger was elbowed by Kyle Anderson and took a step back, and then Granger suddenly stopped doing it, and came up and scolded Kyle Anderson, who was not to be outdone, and the two saw that the fight was going on again.

At this time, Pau Gasol hurriedly pushed Granger away. The referee's whistle also sounded several times in a row.

Now that Stern is promoting a clean alliance, the whistle of this feud is still very strict.

Kyle Anderson and Granger had a dispute on the court, and the San Antonio fans on the sidelines were booed, and these boos were naturally for the Pelicans.

Kyle Anderson and Granger were separated, the referee gave a technical foul on each side, and also gave Granger a beating foul, the free throw for the technical foul was the first free-throw, Granger made two free throws instead of the Pelicans, and then Kyle Anderson executed the beating foul, although Kyle Anderson was very strong here. However, the free-throw technique is generally one of two free throws.

After the penalty kick, the confrontation between the two teams on the court became more obvious, and now the two teams are in a decisive battle, and there was a physical dispute before Yan zhòng, which made the game even more dirty all of a sudden.

Dirty, although harsh, is an indispensable part of a good game, and good defense is dirty. It's somewhere between foul play and no foul.

If the basketball game is not dirty, it will become a billiards game, and everyone is polite and dirty. The tough way, the battle of tongues, this is the way of basketball.

At this time, the Pelicans came again. They finally didn't play the double cover of the two bottom corners, but came over and handed the basketball to Li Feng, who ran out of the three-point line.

Li Feng picked up the ball and made a one-handed change of direction with a large amplitude. The body shook and then pushed Leonard away with his shoulder, and then Li Feng suddenly changed direction, and accelerated to pass Leonard.

Past Leonard, there was just a blank space under the Spurs' basket, and when Li Fenggang wanted to make an offensive move, he couldn't prevent his whole body from being hugged directly from the side of the bush.

Li Feng rushed forward, and as soon as he was hugged like this, his body suddenly lost his balance a little, and he was directly knocked to the ground.

After landing on the ground, Li Feng looked back and saw that it was Dior's ghost, and immediately Li Feng stopped doing it, jumped up and scolded Dior.

"Grass Mud Horse"

Li Feng opened his mouth to scold the country, and then the whole person rushed towards Dior with a fierce light.

The players on the Pelicans' side and Van Gundy saw that Li Feng was about to go crazy again, and suddenly the hearts of these people jumped.

I almost fought with the Celtics in the last game, and I want to play the Spurs today?

At this time, Granger, who had just lost his temper just now, came over and hugged Li Feng at once:

"Calm down, Li Feng, calm down."

Granger came over and hugged Li Feng, and the other players of the Pelicans also reacted immediately, and they all came over to stop in front of Li Feng, but Li Feng couldn't continue to be mad.

Dio saw Li Feng's angry appearance at this time, he was also a little afraid, he also knew the fate of Bogans, just now when he hugged Li Feng, it was a subconscious action, and he didn't think too much, now that he saw the situation, he knew that he had provoked a ruthless person.

Li Feng was hugged by his teammates, and Dio didn't say anything, he glanced at Li Feng and turned around and left.

At this time, the referee came over and began to give a penalty, and this time the penalty was quite similar to just now, giving Li Feng a technical foul and Dior an ordinary foul, and each side still played fifty boards.

After the free throws from both sides, the atmosphere of the game immediately changed, and the two consecutive clashes made the atmosphere on the court even more tense.

This tension is twofold, and now the two sides are in the process of chasing points, the game is tense, there are more disputes with each other, and the actions are more tense.

Both sides want to let go of the fight, but there are many disputes and they can't let go, both teams seem to be wearing heavy armor and fighting, obviously it is a life and death battle, but they can't let go.

At this time, the referee was also very nervous, and as soon as he saw that the two sides were fighting a little, he immediately blew the whistle.

In this way, the Spurs and Pelicans have a clear battle to the death, but they are under pressure and the referee has made them powerful and dare not send.

Both teams clearly wanted to stab their opponents to death in the final quarter, but they were both handcuffed and couldn't use it.

Such a game was ugly, procrastinating, and everything was suffocated, so after Li Feng fouled, the two teams maintained this powerful and unusable state.

In the final two minutes of the game, the Spurs couldn't hold on, because by this time they still trailed the Pelicans by 4 points 91-95.

At this time, these 4 points are terrible, although the Spurs are still worried about being blown by the referee at this time. But I still had to amplify my movements on the court.

With just two and a half minutes left in the game, the Spurs came over and played an offensive routine similar to a triangle offense.

Duncan came over and got into the corner position early, and then Parker came over and passed the ball to Duncan first, and then he himself immediately went down to 45 degrees to make a cross cover for Leonard who was hiding in the bottom corner.

Leonard took advantage of Parker's cover to run to the top of the arc, Duncan passed, Leonard pulled out, and when he saw Pau Gasol save very quickly, he immediately hobed the ball to Duncan.

The combination of Leonard and Duncan just now is very Spurs, very simple and practical. Leonard used the cover to run up, which was to give the Pelicans' defense a multiple-choice question, and the big forward who defended Duncan pulled out, and Leonard immediately passed back to Duncan is a misplaced offense, and the opponent did not save to rotate, and Leonard immediately shot empty.

Now that the Pelicans have chosen to rotate, Leonard will immediately give Duncan, and the person who goes up to defend Duncan at this time is Li Feng.

Compared with Duncan, Li Feng did form a misplaced attack. With Duncan's height and shooting point, even if he stood there and shot, Li Feng couldn't block it, and the difference in height was huge.

Duncan didn't see who was behind him. But by feeling, he knew that this person was not tall enough, so he immediately made a turnover jumper, and Li Feng could only try his best to get up and harass him. Li Feng's harassment is indeed more intense, because he is more able to jump.

Duncan also felt bad, and was gently harassed by Li Feng. He actually missed.

In the last period of time, Duncan was not easy to use, and Popovich also felt a chill in his heart when he saw this situation.

Just now, the Spurs took out the connection between Leonard and Duncan, just to hold the ball steadily.

Now that the Pelicans are back, they have also taken conservative measures, letting Li Feng take the ball first in the backcourt, Li Feng took the ball over, he encountered a strong defense that was also the Spurs, and Li Feng tried to run the ball.

Let the whole team pass the ball a little away, but the first few minutes were too stiff, the Pelicans' gas is gone, the Pelicans are a love xù-type team, the gas is gone, and the play is inactive, and it can't enter the Spurs' interior line at all.

At this time, Li Feng could only shoot three points by himself, but unfortunately this three points also missed.

Li Feng missed the three-point shot, and the time was immediately compressed to 2 minutes, and there were only two minutes left in the game, but the score was still not moving.

Turning around, the Spurs played another connection between Danny Green and Duncan, and Danny Green put a cold arrow outside the three-point line, but at this time the Spurs and Pelicans were facing similar problems, and their hands experienced stiffness in the fourth quarter, and they couldn't do it, and they didn't shoot.

Neither team scored, it was a waste of time, and there was only one minute and fifty seconds left in the game, and the difference remained the same.

But this kind of unchanged makes people even more worried, the Spurs want to chase points, and the Pelicans feel that the 4-point difference is not safe.

At this time, once the Spurs missed the shot, Li Feng immediately got the basketball and turned around to launch a fast attack.

Li Feng suddenly rushed out like this, rampage towards the Spurs half, this broke through not the Spurs' defense, or the thick shackles that have been shackled on the two teams, Li Feng seemed to be an arrow to break through a qiē thing, towards the Spurs' half.

At this time, Danny Green had no choice but to take a tactical foul and pull Li Feng from behind.

Danny Green pulled people to death, pulled them directly, did not give Li Feng a chance to shoot, and was not suspected of malicious fouls.

Li Feng just got up, and was pulled down like this, although he was unhappy, but he couldn't have a seizure.

Holding his breath in his heart, Li Feng went to the free throw line, and his table was not good, making one of two free throws, expanding the score to 96-91, leading the Spurs by 5 points.

Now the time is only more than 1 minute and 40 seconds, and the difference is still 5 points.

broke all the previous shackles at once, and after coming up to pass the ball to Leonard, Leonard was also a little anxious, came up and forcibly squeezed near the Pelicans' restricted area, and then rushed left and right, and forcibly hit with his body. (To be continued......)
