Chapter 1139: A Fatal Break
If you change to any other person, you will be over, but here today is Li Feng, once Li Feng's body comes into contact with Anthony, he immediately moves with his body, isolating Anthony, Anthony looks chic, but the pain is only known to him, as soon as he makes physical contact with Li Feng, Anthony feels that he is not physically confronting people, he is physically confronting a moving wall.
Anthony's set of actions came out, did not throw Li Feng off, and did not reach his goal, at this time Anthony was ready to start his second preparatory plan, that is, passing.
But as we said earlier, Anthony is not a team player, and it is very difficult to let Anthony work as a team, and at such a time of crisis, there is nothing wrong with letting Anthony attack on his own, but it is very difficult for him to make a choice at this time.
Originally, Hollins gave himself the task of passing the ball to Lopez if he couldn't attack, and if he didn't, he would pass the ball to Joe Johnson.
Anthony couldn't attack here, so he wanted to pass the ball to Lopez, but Lopez was defended by Gasol.
So Anthony had to go to Joe Johnson, but Joe Johnson also had Granger in front of him, and Anthony was stunned when he saw that the two choices that Hollins gave him were not working, and Li Feng's long arm was a little faster behind him.
Anthony's basketball fell down all of a sudden, Li Feng rushed up like lightning, picked up the basketball in his arms, and when the ball was in his hand, Li Feng rushed to the half court of the Nets like a storm.
At this point, Hollins yelled, "Not good. Jumped up from the bench, but the Pelicans' offense was like a wave, after Li Feng dribbled over, he saw that Joe Johnson was going to foul himself and the Nets were going to play foul tactics, so he hurriedly sent the basketball to Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng was outside the three-point line, shot directly, and the three points were like knives. The basketball hits, and in an instant, the net collapses.
The difference between the Nets and the Pelicans became, and the time was only 5 seconds, and the Nets tried in vain to implement foul tactics, but it was Granger who was fouled, which only turned the score into 6 points.
The Nets had no power to fight back, and when it was over, Hollins touched his big head and sat heavily on the bench.
The Pelicans won at the last moment, Li Feng scored a goal and a steal at the last moment and completely ruined the Nets.
The New Orleans Center was boiling, and New Orleans seemed to be back to its glory, from the stands to the rest seats, from the New Orleans Center to the front of New Orleans State TV, every fan, they jumped. Laughing and shouting excitedly.
Granger came over and hugged Li Feng heavily:
"Good job, Li Feng, good job, I didn't misread you. I really didn't misread you, thanks to your steal, that steal killed the Nets, and they were finished. We tore them to shreds, which was simply fantastic. ”
Li Feng also hugged Granger at this time:
"Old fellow, no three points from you. My steals don't work, your threes are amazing, you're a magical guy. ”
This time the Pelicans players all laughed, the Pelicans won a precious victory at home after two consecutive wins on the road, so that the Nets formed an absolute advantage of 3-0, how can the Pelicans players not laugh.
At this time, the Nets players and coaches, all of them were pale, and they were still in the initiative before 37 seconds, but after less than a minute, defeat befell them.
This big turning point was too big and too sudden, and the ups and downs of the heart were so great that it was almost unbearable.
At this time, Anthony lowered his head, he was blaming himself, he was really uncomfortable, but the game was played so far, but no one blamed Anthony, it was Hollins who made the final decision, it was the whole team.
If you had given Anthony a cover, if you had run a little better at that time, if you had picked up Anthony, the result might have been completely different, but it was useless to think about anything at this time.
Sometimes fate will impose a weight on you that you simply can't bear, and you will be overwhelmed, and your heart will be miserable, and how you wish that it was not real, how you wish that life could go backwards and start all over again.
But it's all impossible, fate throws you a result that you can't bear, just like shoehorning you with a toy you don't want, unless you give up the game, unless you quit, you can only accept the reality, and then face the things that make your heart hurt painfully, and face the things that make your heart feel annoyed every time you think about it.
Move forward bravely, move forward bravely, don't think about going back, it's very simple because life can't go backwards, life can't go back, all we can do is to face the pain of the heart, the beating of fate, and keep moving forward.
At this time, Lopez also walked to the bench with a gloomy face, under the towel, Lopez, a big man, did not look good, and his heart was heavy as if something was pressing on it.
Failure, failure when you need it most, that's the most devastating thing, and now Lopez almost feels like he's bleeding in the heart.
Hollins himself didn't feel good, but when he saw his lover walking over like this, when he saw Anthony, and Joe Johnson, these Nets cadres walking back, Hollins' face sank for a moment.
He didn't have the habitual yelling, he didn't have the habitual yelling, he just went back to the locker room with his teammates.
The air in the Nets' locker room was heavy, and everyone was bowing their heads, fearful, remorseful, and not daring to imagine the future, but at this time, Hollins began his speech.
Hollins's voice was a little hoarse, and the big fat man was also very sad at this time:
"The players, all my players, today, we lost, but we lost not ugly, we lost definitely not ugly."
When Hollins said this, all the Nets players looked up at Hollins, and Hollins continued:
"Today we played a good game, we played well, even on the Pelicans' home court, even when the Pelicans led us many times, we didn't back down, we didn't flinch, we were strong. We were strong and the reason for our defeat was maybe bad luck, but it wasn't our fault. ”
"No, manager, I didn't handle the final ball well."
Anthony shook his head at this time and said, tears almost streaming down his eyes, Cameron was such a guy.
"No, Mellon, you're great today. Without you, we wouldn't have approached the Pelicans in the end, the final tactics and personnel arrangements were arranged by me, and it has nothing to do with you, Anthony, you did a great job today, even if it was the last ball, you did what I said, whose fault is it. It's just that our luck is too bad. ”
With this said, Hollins changed his words and said:
"We lost, we did lose completely, in Brooklyn we lost. In New Orleans we still lost, fate pushed us to a dead end, we walked on a thin silk line, but my teammates. We can lose, but we must not be afraid. ”
"We can lose today, but tomorrow we can still get up. The desire for victory, the desire for dreams, will always be rooted in our hearts, no matter how many times we fail, no matter how many times, victory is calling in our hearts, dreams are burning, today we can lose, but we will never admit defeat, players, we still have games, we still have a chance, remember today we lost, but we absolutely did not admit defeat. ”
Hollins' hoarse voice fell, and the Nets' locker room was quiet for a while, and then the applause suddenly rang out, and these Nets players began to applaud themselves, basketball is not only a sport for them, but also a life and will.
Hollins' words opened the hearts of these players all at once.
"In the next game, whether we win or lose, we do our best."
Hollins finally stood up as well, and with that, Hollins himself walked out of the locker room.
The words he just said to the players, not only for the players, but also for himself, now that the team has gone through so much, it has failed at home and away, Hollins' heart is aching, but his dream has not been extinguished, the Nets, Hollins will still move forward.
The Nets' locker room is burning with endless fighting spirit, but in the Pelicans' locker room, there is joy, complete joy, and all the Pelicans players have smiles on their faces.
Waving his jersey, Corey sat on a stool and yelled as he sipped his soda:
"Did you see, Lopez was about to cry when he came off the court, that big guy, now they're going to be finished, 3-0, as long as we win one game, the game will be ours."
"It's good that we didn't cry, otherwise our sins would have been great."
Knight shrunk his neck, then said:
"When the time comes, the media will say that we are bullying children, hehehehe."
At this time, even Gasol, who usually rarely speaks, got involved, and he said from his position:
"Maybe Lopez will criticize the referee in front of the media, you know, today he did a much smaller scale than the Barclays Center."
'It's possible and it's a good excuse to complain about the referee and the pitch.' Al Jefferson was also a little gloating at this time.
Victory will never experience the mentality of failure, only failure will experience that kind of struggle, but once successful, people will quickly forget their past selves, which is the root of human inferiority.
Just as the Pelicans players were celebrating their victory and imagining the Nets' pain, Van Gundy walked in through the locker room door.
He saw everyone's excitement, then raised his eyebrows and said:
"Everyone is very happy today."
"Of course, it was a good day and today's victory was very exciting."
Cory said.
"But, but Li Feng went against my tactics and missed that goal, if Li Feng didn't steal in the end, if Li Feng lost that goal after snatching, what would happen, I think in that case, I'm afraid it will be us who sit in the locker room and cry with a sad face."
At this time, Van Gundy came to pour cold water on purpose.
"No, that's absolutely impossible, we did it, Li Feng scored, he also stealed, as for Li Feng I believe he will shoot a key goal at any time."
Corey didn't want his interest to be disturbed.
"You have a good reason, because today we won, and victory is the reason for everything, but gentlemen, remember, today our victory was not easy, it was not easy for us to play the Nets, this has not changed at all, it was, it is, it will still be tomorrow, so today we won, but we don't have the capital of pride, in the end, the mastery of the key ball, the strength of our players, and the element of luck, if there is no luck we may not win, So lads, please be careful"
"We still have games the day after tomorrow, and we have to face the Nets that we will not be able to beat lightly, but I don't want us to lose, I want a sweep, a sweep to end this Finals, prudence, iron will, unity, this is the spirit of our Pelicans." (To be continued......)
