At the end of the first quarter, Grandpa Hubie Brown also said:

"The playoffs are really a game of feng shui rotation, whoever adjusts quickly, who has the initiative, the last game Pelicans had unexpected tricks so that the Rockets are not able to parry, and now the Rockets have found a way to deal with it, and the Pelicans have not adjusted for the time being. Like the net on the .lwxs520. There is only one key word in the OM playoffs is adjustment, which is not only the adjustment of the coach's tactics, but also the adjustment of the player's personal psychological state and the player's style of play. ”

"This kind of adjustment requires some experience, but also a certain amount of mental maturity and basketball wisdom. Although the Pelicans are some talented young players, they are extremely lacking in this regard, after all, youth is a kind of deficiency, they lack psychological experience. ”

The Pelicans sent a bench lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, and the bench lineup is one of the Pelicans' strengths.

But today's Rockets' bench lineup is not weak, and the Pelicans Rockets bench lineup does not have much advantage in the lineup.

And at this time, the Pelicans also made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and in their bones they still thought that they could blow up the opponent as if they had played the last game.

As a result, once the Pelicans underestimated the enemy, they immediately encountered a harsh counterattack, and the Rockets took advantage of the first few minutes of the second quarter to hit an 8-0 small high in one breath. tide, the Rockets rewrote the score to 32-18, and the difference between the two teams finally opened up, and the Pelicans hurriedly replaced Li Feng.

Tonight, the roles of the Rockets and Pelicans seem to be reversed.

Li Feng played, the team was already 14 points behind, this scene made Li Feng feel a little familiar, he had to score, he had to save the team.

Playing a team like Rockets, there will definitely be such a situation, but Li Feng still feels that this situation is too easy. Teammates who are too young are indeed more likely to make mistakes. Now this situation can be avoided.

When Li Feng arrived on the court, he immediately started to get the ball in the backcourt, and once he arrived at the half of the rocket, all his teammates immediately pulled away and watched Li Feng play.

Li Feng represents all the will of the Pelicans at this time, and he must hit, otherwise the Pelicans may collapse.

Li Feng was not under much pressure at this time, but Li Feng was not afraid, he believed in his own ability. I also believe that I can do it.

Facing Nick Johnson, who pounced on the rocket at this time, Li Feng turned his butt unhurriedly and hit the other party one after another.

Nick Johnson couldn't bear Li Feng and could only retreat. At this time, Josh Smith of the Rockets came up and wanted to pinch Li Feng, but Li Feng immediately took the ball and turned around. turned around and made a feint, Nick Johnson was hit by Li Feng and couldn't jump, he didn't jump, but at this time Josh Smith jumped.

Shaking off Josh Smith, Li Feng turned around and waved his elbow, sticking it to Nick Johnson, and then raised his hand to make a foul on Nick Johnson. Li Feng's technique of deceiving fouls is simply impossible to avoid. As long as the other party's physique is not as good as him, it is not a point to let Li Feng post it. It's called a foul.

went to the free throw line, and Li Feng hit both free throws to finally breathe a sigh of relief for the team.

From 20 to 32, the score difference is still very large.

The Rockets played again, and the Rockets still played a low-post offense, and now only Morty Yunas is on the bench.

The Rockets' focus is naturally on Morty Yunas, who takes the ball and attacks Henson, who keeps retreating step by step.

Li Feng hurriedly went back to help defend at this time, and Mortiyunas turned around to attack and missed under Li Feng's harassment.

Li Feng thought that his defense was successful, but Kelly, who was under the basket, did not get stuck in the position, so that Josh Smith suddenly clicked the basketball in the back, and the basketball was picked up by Papanicola behind him.

Papanicola, who picked up the basketball, raised his hand and threw a mid-range, which was not difficult for Papanicola at all, and Papanicola scored two points with his hand.

The Rockets are playing more and more smoothly, and even the rebounding in the frontcourt can be controlled, and the Pelicans have entered a dark rhythm as a whole.

The Rocket was lucky to score, and when he turned around, Li Feng also realized that he couldn't rely on himself, and he immediately played a block with Kelly when he arrived at the Rocket's half, and Li Feng broke through and turned back to pass to Kelly.

This was originally a fixed path for the Pelicans to score, and the Rockets naturally had a plan for this routine defense.

As soon as Kelly was removed, Josh Smith immediately switched positions to defend Kelly, Kelly did not put Josh Smith's defense into his eyes, and directly shot a three-point shot, but Josh Smith jumped up very hard and clicked a little bit of basketball, so that Kelly's three-point shot was short.

The Pelicans' offense failed in another round, and the Pelicans' subconscious way of making decisions made by the enemy and the way they made decisions made the team fall into a strange circle.

The Rockets got the rebound in the backcourt and immediately caught up again, and the Rockets are now playing more and more out of shape, playing defensively, and also playing offensively.

At this time, the state of the Rockets came up, and Cory Brewer, who took the ball on the outside, was also inspired all of a sudden.

From the upline a block went straight to the Pelicans' basket, and when it got to the Pelicans' basket, Brewer dodged Henson's block in the air, and then a difficult layup scored two points again.

The Rockets get better and better, the more they play, the more chemistry they have, the basketball court always corresponds, and the pressure on the Pelicans is even greater when the Rockets get better and better.

The Pelicans played again, Li Feng passed the ball to Knight, and Knight didn't play well today, so he wanted to regroup his spirit and play one by himself.

Knight's idea is good, but his state today is really bad, the Rockets' targeted defense is also in place, and Knight came up with another mid-range shot miss.

On the offensive end of the Pelicans' side, except for Li Feng, no one else is good, and later Van Gundy has not changed the big situation although Corey and Al Jefferson have been on the offensive end, and the Pelicans' role players today are being targeted by the Rockets as a whole, so they are not in good shape.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets led the Pelicans by 11 points from 49 to 38, which seemed to be a remake of the last game between the Rockets and the Pelicans.

At the end of the half, Li Feng also realized that he had to go all out in today's game, and relying on his teammates was no longer as reliable as relying on himself. It's not something that can be easily adjusted, and now I have to take on a core responsibility.

At halftime. On the domestic side, Su Qun also said:

"The Rockets are a traditional powerhouse. The adjustments have been very fast, and so far, all the adjustments have been in place, and the Pelicans role players who have been stopped have little room to play. Although the Pelicans' somewhat frivolous mentality today is partly the reason, the Rockets' adjustment did come quickly and well. ”

Su Qun is still the old lady's commentary style, just praising the other party.

However, at this time, Hubi Brown was much sharper than Su Qun, and Hubi Brown groaned at this time and said:

"The rocket made adjustments today. But the Pelicans also paid the price for their youth. The Pelicans could have made better adjustments, but by now, Corey. Knight, including Kelly, has not adjusted to his competitive condition. If the Pelicans have more game experience. This is something that can be avoided. The Pelicans are now on standby for the young pay! ”

Hubie Brown pointed out the mistakes that the Pelicans are making so far, and the Pelicans today Corey and Knight are all out of order, which is indeed the reason for the mentality.

If the Pelicans didn't win so lightly in the last game, this situation could have been avoided, but the Pelicans won too easily in the last game, and the Pelicans couldn't be very correct in their mentality today.

Although the half-time period was not short, there were twenty minutes. Van Gundy was also on the side. But this kind of mentality distortion is definitely not something that can be reversed all at once.

The second half of the game came back. The Pelicans, like the Rockets in the previous game, made adjustments at the beginning.

The Pelicans put Kelly in the starting power forward position at the beginning of the second half, Kelly is not in this position for defense, but to allow Li Feng to get more space on the offensive end, and now Van Gundy has found out, and in the second half, the Pelicans will rely on Li Feng to fight a bloody way.

At this time, the mentality of the rockets is also different, they lost by more than ten points in the last game, and they are very nervous mentally. So at the beginning of today, they played very hard, and from the beginning to the present, they finally had a certain advantage and controlled the situation.

This is the end of the rocket, and it is also the easiest time to relax mentally, and it is at this time that Li Feng decided to fight hard.

Kicking off in the second half, the first ball was Pelicans', and Li Feng had already made up his mind to do it himself at this time.

So once he got the basketball from the top of the arc, Li Feng immediately faced the oncoming Ariza, took a tentative step at his feet, suddenly dribbled forward, and then took a big step forward, dribbling the ball back from the outside of his crotch, and at the same time tiptoe back a little, stepping back and jumping back.

Li Feng's dancing-like pace is something that Ariza can't catch up with, and after he gains weight, he has no way to defend this kind of flexible attack.

Li Feng shook off Ariza in one step and got up for a steady middle distance. At this time, Li Feng's ambition is very strong and his concentration is also high, and in such a situation, Li Feng's hit rate is very high.

"Huh!"

Li Feng came up and scored 2 points steadily, when he scored these 2 points. Hubbie Brown is saying:

"Li Feng has a strong sense of ambition, his scoring is very resolute, but this is not enough, his ultimate goal is to lead the whole team."

Li Feng came up and scored 2 points, which has not yet aroused the alarm of the Rockets, because the Rockets are indeed leading more now, and they are still in control of the rhythm.

The Rockets played at this time, Harden took the ball but did not attack, and now the Rockets are not in a hurry to lead Harden, he took the ball and immediately transferred the ball to Asik under the basket, Asik played his height advantage today, took the ball in the high post and made a fake pass, and immediately shot a mid-range.

Asik played today, and a mid-range shot was also smooth and smooth.

The score on the Rockets' side is still as silky as Dove's chocolate, and Li Feng's pressure is still on his shoulders.

But at this time, Li Feng is even more warlike, although the rocket is strong now, Li Feng believes that as long as he survives, his teammates will find a rhythm.

So Li Feng went to the Rockets' half again and immediately asked for the ball from Granger, and Granger passed the basketball to Li Feng.

Li Feng's defense is still Ariza, and Li Feng actually has no entanglement in the face of Ariza, because Ariza's pace is too slow and he does not pose any threat to himself.

Li Feng still played comfortably in the face of Ariza, took the ball and dribbled to the left, and then took a step back to kick the ground, a little with the front foot. Li Feng took another step back. Li Feng's speed is faster than Ariza's, and his feet are more flexible, so Ali can't defend his roots.

Li Feng came up and scored 2 points!

When the refrigerator saw that Li Feng had scored again, his eyebrows immediately twisted together, and the refrigerator couldn't allow Li Feng to score. But Li Feng is scoring too lightly now, and he didn't score with much effort at all, which is not good. Let this situation continue, Li Feng's state is crazy, and the rocket is still very dangerous. So at this time, the refrigerator was after Li Feng scored. I actually called a timeout early.

The Rockets urgently adjusted early, when the refrigerator realized that Ariza couldn't walk. decisively replaced Ariza, and then used Cory Brewer to defend Li Feng, Brewer's physical elements and feet are enough, but just using Brewer to defend Li Feng is not enough, so the refrigerator has arranged a bag and clamp tactic to deal with Li Feng.

51-42, the difference between the two teams is still hovering around 10 points.

The Rockets called a timeout to come back. Changed to a three-high lineup. The Rockets put Asik, Mortiyunas and Josh Smith on the court. The backcourt lineup of the Rockets is paired with Harden and Corey Brewer.

This lineup is actually very afraid of Kelly's big man's long-range shots, but the refrigerator found that Kelly's long-range shots were super unstable today, so he decisively replaced this big man lineup, and changing this lineup still had to stop Li Feng's half-court strong hit.

The Rockets were replaced, and after the three-height lineup, they immediately gave full play to the advantage of height, held high, Asik hoisted to Josh Smith, Josh Smith took the ball and reflexively hoisted to Morty Yunas, and Morty Yunas took the ball and easily scored two points.

Today's Rockets did give the height advantage out, and in this case, the pressure on the Pelicans side is even greater.

The Rockets played a three-high lineup, the Pelicans came over and passed the basketball to Kelly on the outside, Kelly took the ball on the Rockets and immediately switched to defense, Josh Smith pounced to defend Kelly, and Asik went to the wrong position to defend Granger.

Granger is a player who needs a tailwind, and now once the team is against the wind, he is a little shrunken and does not dare to break through Asik strongly, and he passes the basketball back to Li Feng.

Li Feng sighed, now this situation really depends on himself to open an opening.

Li Feng, who took the ball, faced Brewer, who was pasted up, he pushed the opponent away with his shoulder like Anthony, and then continued to dribble under his crotch, swaying left and right, and dribbling to the left.

"Huh!"

Li Feng's middle distance today is really stable, but the difference between the two teams is still 9 points, and there is no intention of pulling away at all.

The Rockets are quite satisfied with the current situation, and now the Pelicans rely on Li Feng to hang their lives, and it is easier for them to grasp the situation.

And Harden on the Rockets' side saw Li Feng's continuous play, and his side began to respond.

Harden took the ball and broke through to the Pelicans' restricted area and immediately cheated the Pelicans of a foul, and Harden went to the free throw line to score two more points.

The Rocket's 2-point, 2-point play is still very successful, Li Feng also clearly changed his tactics when he got the basketball on the outside of the Rocket again, and using his feet to cooperate with the middle distance is indeed the easiest way to score now, but this way is also the way the Rocket wants to see, the Rocket hopes that Li Feng will just throw it, and it will definitely be difficult to kill the Rocket if he throws it like this. Because the interior offense used by the Rockets is also 2 points and 2 points, and the success rate is definitely better than your mid-range.

So at this time, Li Fengming knew that the best way to score was the middle distance, and he still had to change his tactics.

At this time, he faced Cory Brewer, or tentatively opened the distance, dribbled with his left hand, kicked back with his front foot, and retreated half a step Li Feng directly pulled up and threw a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

Li Feng scored 3 points on an unreasonable pull-up jumper on the three-point line, and once the 3 points were shot.

The Rockets were immediately alerted, because Li Feng's unreasonable three-point shot seemed to be coming, while McTrick, the commentator on the sidelines, was excited.

Li Feng hit consecutive mid-range shots before, and now the three-point shot is also coming. This shows that Li Feng feels very good, Li Feng is going crazy, this time it is interesting. ”

Li Feng's convulsive feel was indeed daunting, and the score on both sides of Li Feng's three-pointer became 55-47. Because Li Feng shot a three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was finally shortened to 8 points.

The rocket had the upper hand at this time, and naturally still stabilized the rhythm. Come up and hit it inside. The rocket's inside line is very stable.

But no matter how steady Dìng's offense is, there is also a failure rate, and this time the Rockets finally missed a hook under the basket.

The Rockets finally had the ball not scored, and when the Pelicans advanced to the Rockets half, Li Feng went up to gesture to his teammates, and he asked for a wing cover.

Granger took the ball up, and Li Feng used the flank cover to run towards the top of the arc, at which time Cory Brewer chased Li Feng to death. The moment Li Feng ran over to catch the ball, he jumped and made a preparatory move to shoot.

Li Feng threw a three-pointer before. continuous mid-distance, so once Li Feng was ready to shoot, Brewer was fooled and saved.

Li Feng took advantage of the situation and lowered his head to pass Brewer, after passing Brewer. Li Feng went to the Rockets' penalty area and faced Asik who saved. Li Feng stepped to the basket, shook from side to side, and then flew up in the air against Morty Yunas, and only when he was about to land did he push the basketball into the basket.

Li Feng suddenly adjusted the rocket basket and successfully scored 2 points, and the Toyota Center finally felt that it was a sunny day, and because of Li Feng's layup, the difference between the two teams was shortened to 6 points.

It's the game. This is a small change. The mentality of the two teams is different. The Pelicans suddenly saw hope in the midst of hardship, and the Rockets suddenly became nervous.

McHale hurriedly shouted on the side:

"As soon as he gets the ball, he doubles it!"

Rocket naturally knew who he was talking about. The Pelicans also saw hope here, and Van Gundy hurriedly pulled up Cory, who had the most stable projection, at this time. Corey had another problem with the ball today, but once Li Feng hit the vacant position, Corey's vacant shooting was still trustworthy.

The game has entered a critical turning point, and Li Feng also hurriedly shouted to his teammates:

"Defend, defend! Defend against the next round and we'll catch up. ”

The Pelicans finally found an opportunity, naturally they worked the defensive end, the Rockets had been raging for a long time before, and now once they encountered a strong defense, it was also a little tricky, Asik passed the basketball to Harden outside.

Harden took the ball and quickly dribbled two steps, and when he got up, he wanted to throw a pull-up jump shot, but Li Feng hurriedly pounced and sealed Harden's face.

Harden also played loosely in front of him today, at this time Li Feng suddenly rushed up to block, Harden was inevitably a little unstable in his hand, once Harden's hand was unstable, the basketball was brushed out of the basket.

The Rockets' offense in this round was unsuccessful, and the Pelicans protected the backcourt rebounding ball and rushed to the Rockets' half court again.

At this time, Li Feng came over and got the basketball, and the rocket immediately doubled and defended Li Feng fiercely.

Cory Brewer and Josh Smith formed a defensive combination of high and low, and Li Feng's side must have had a hard time.

At this time, Li Feng only passed the ball to Granger, who was the safest away from him, and Granger took the ball and threw a three-point shot decisively.

But Granger was not in a stable state of mind at this time, he was too nervous, and his three-point shot was very biased.

"Bang!"

Granger's three-pointer missed, and the Pelicans' offense that could have been up all at once was interrupted. Seeing this scene, Van Gundy sighed fiercely.

The Rockets hit again, and they naturally felt the pressure, and under the extremely strong pressure, the Rockets still started their own inside machine, and the three inside lines took turns to compress the Pelicans' restricted area, and then suddenly passed the basketball out.

Harden took the ball from behind and rushed to the Pelicans basket, and a slight feint tricked the Pelicans into a foul.

If the Rockets have an advantage on the inside, they will be more oppressive, and it will be easier for them to make fouls, and the Pelicans will not be able to change the current rhythm, and they will be pressed by the opponent all the time.

Harden hit two free throws from the free throw line, and the Pelicans hurriedly made substitutions at this time, one of which was a shrinking Granger to replace, and the other was to replace Kelly, who did not shoot a lot, and the Pelicans replaced Granger with Corey and Gasol for Kelly.

In this way, the Pelicans have also increased their height, and Henson and Gasol have teamed up to play inside, and they definitely don't suffer in height. On Corey also increased his ability to score from the outside!

The Pelicans hurriedly made substitutions, and when the team reached the Rockets halfcourt, once Li Feng got the ball, the Rockets immediately pounced on Li Feng. Li Feng faced the two defenders, but still held the ball and pulled it to the side as much as possible to give Corey processing space, which passed the basketball to Corey's hands.

Corey received the ball, but it was not an empty position, but Harden's strict defense, and the Rockets were not fools who would let Corey empty.

Now the rocket air defense is Henson on the inside line, and Henson has no offensive capabilities. Corey took the ball at this time and passed it quickly, maybe there was still a chance, but he was still a little immersed in the last game, facing Harden to take a crotch and step back, and he still wanted to replicate the wonderful goal of the previous game.

But don't forget about it, Corey is characterized by not having a physique zhì, and when Harden is already on guard, he must be looking for a hat, you must know that Harden's physique zhì is top-notch.

Sure enough, Corey made a move on his side, and Harden arrived, and a hat fanned Corey's shot.

Harden not only sniped Corey's shot at this time, but also drove the momentum of the Rockets all of a sudden.

Cory Brewer turned his head to grab the rebound and passed the ball to Josh Smith, who rushed up from behind. Li Feng was also careless about Josh Smith, he thought that Josh Smith didn't have much offensive power, and he was paying attention to Harden who followed up and asked Josh Smith for the ball, and Li Feng's attention was shifted.

Josh Smith was in front of Li Feng, and he shook his feint and made a fake pass, Li Feng believed it and pounced towards Harden, and Josh Smith took advantage of this to get rid of Li Feng at once and dunk with one hand from the middle.

"Bang dang!"

Josh Smith mixed with Li Feng and dunked successfully, and the morale of the Rockets came up at this moment, Harden blocked, Josh Smith dunked, and suddenly hit a set of combos.

At this time, the Pelicans fans were in pain, and Li Feng's finally approaching score suddenly opened again.

And after such a twist and turn, the momentum of the rocket has risen, and the Pelican's courage to muster up a little bit has also faded.

The Rocket took this opportunity to stretch the difference to about 10 points again in one breath, and Li Feng then wanted to chase the score, but once he got the ball, two people came up to defend, and Li Feng could only run without the ball in the end.

But Li Feng only ran without the ball, and there was no way to organize a counterattack without the response of his teammates, and the Pelicans never counterattacked on a large scale, and the Rockets held the advantage steadily, and the Pelicans did not catch up with the score at the end of the game.

In the third game of the game, the Pelicans were in a collective slump and failed to get a match point, but were defended by the Rockets on a home court. (To be continued.) (lwxs520。 om))
