Chapter 964: Torture and Kill James
Li Feng turned over the river and the sea under the opponent's basket, with skill and hardness, and directly pierced the inside line of the bull by himself.
Before Li Feng still had three points, there was still an empty cut, and everything was available, and Li Feng's continuous performance suddenly boosted the Pelican's morale.
When Li Feng walked to the free throw line, Van Gundy felt that he should add more fire, and immediately replaced Al Jefferson with Kelly, who had been fighting with Tygibson for a few minutes, and really needed to rest physically.
The Pelicans took the opportunity to change to an excellent interior lineman, and Phil Jackson was hot-eyed, and the Pelicans had too many talents, which was indeed a huge happiness for the coach.
Li Feng hit a free throw from the free throw line, and when the Bulls came over and wanted to attack, they found that Kelly's defense was tougher than Al Jefferson.
Paul's side once again took the ball and forcibly singled out Corey, and Paul was also helpless, but this time Li Feng quietly ambushed behind Corey.
The middle distance on Paul's side had already flown up, flying relatively high, but he did not escape Li Feng's Wuzhi Mountain.
Li Feng was behind Corey, like a strange bird, and flew high, "Smack!" A slap blocked Paul's ball.
All of a sudden, the New Orleans Center piled up with a high level of enthusiasm and exploded to a high point.
"Boom, boom!"
The entire New Orleans Center burst into cheers, and Director Zhang also shouted, "Beautiful!" ”
Li Feng scored in a row, and now finally seized the opportunity to block Paul, Li Feng used the visual impact to give the team more courage.
The ball blocked by Li Feng fell into the hands of Corey behind, and Corey took the ball and immediately broke through to the Bulls halfcourt.
Corey rushed all the way, Mirotic and Jimmy Butler blocked Corey quickly, but at this time, Corey threw the basketball into the air.
Li Feng flew over from behind. Caught the basketball in the air and took the basketball with a kind of momentum that dominates the world.
"Bang dang!"
An aerial relay smashed into the Bulls' basket once again.
At this moment, the whole court in the New Orleans Center became more vigorous, the fans chanted MVP, and the Pelicans' bench couldn't calm down at all, and the whole audience cheered.
"Ahhhh
The cheers and screams of the audience, Li Feng also beat his chest and roared when he landed, after being suppressed by the Bulls for half of the court, the Pelicans finally pulled this breath back in the second half.
The Pelicans' home momentum. And the home advantage finally came out, and Li Feng also entered the god-killing mode in the second half.
Once he enters this mode, Li Feng can score unreasonably and unreasonably crazy.
Compared with Li Feng, Paul is not a scoring player, and he consumed too much in the first half, and at this time he gradually couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
And Gibson, after being tormented by Kelly and Al Jefferson in turn, also had no touch at all, and basically did not play in the second half. Howard is also not in good shape. In this way, the bull was so tired at the first point that he couldn't do it, and the second point was like the flowing water from the east of the river. Gone forever.
At the end of the game, the Pelicans led the Bulls by eight points at 98-90, ending the battle.
In the decisive battle between the eastern and western powerhouses, the pelicans of the new army had the last laugh.
……
The Pelicans defeated the Bulls. Winning 10 in a row, becoming the first team to win 10 in a row this season, and at this time. They also encountered a new army, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron James, who was beaten by Li Feng in Miami, returned to Cleveland in the summer, and poor Cleveland fans forgot the No. 23 jersey they burned James, and James never seemed to leave Cleveland.
The current Cavaliers, in addition to having James, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving, form a new Big Three, in addition to these three, there are also young people like Thompson and Waiters, who are far more favored than the Pelicans before the start of the season.
And now, the Pelicans have won ten consecutive games and are sitting on the first place in the West, while the Cleveland Cavaliers have suffered continuous ups and downs, often they beat the Spurs, but lost to the Timberwolves, like a roller coaster, Kevin Love has not been able to integrate into the new Cleveland team.
The game hasn't started yet, and everyone has a comparative measure of the two teams, and even Cleveland fans have to admit that the Cavaliers will have a hard time beating the Pelicans.
As the number one star of the Cavaliers, he is mainly responsible for such a stark contrast between the Cavaliers and the Pelicans, and the media also "coincidentally" said that LeBron James met Li Feng, which is equivalent to a failure, and compared with Li Feng, LeBron James still needs to learn a lot.
The Pelicans did not cooperate with the media,
Li Feng also praised James:
"LeBron James is the best player I've ever seen, he doesn't just have a strong body, he has a big brain."
The other players on the Pelicans' side also reacted and praised James, and Stephen Corey said:
"Every shot in front of James, I was terrified!"
Corey's words are extremely contrary to his will, you must know that every time he shoots, he is very happy, and the scene of a mouse playing an elephant is very cool.
The Pelicans players tried their best to defend James, although the Cavaliers felt that James was not playing well in private. But in front of the media, he can only praise James.
Owen said:
"James is the most selfless superstar I've ever met, we're brothers, and no amount of denigration will take away our brotherhood."
David Blatter can only say good things about James:
"James is a very good player, please give him confidence!"
Without the bombardment of the media and the bombardment of fans, it would be easier for LeBron James to adjust his mentality.
Because James himself is indeed relatively good, but every time the bombardment is down, James is difficult to do, in the first year when the Cavaliers Big Three first gathered, the Cavaliers' team tactics have not yet been formed, their own unique small-ball tactics have not been played, and Battier, a key player, has not yet joined.
In this case, the Cavaliers are very dependent on James' organization, it can be said that without James's organization, the Cavaliers will be more fragmented, at this time there are too many problems in front of James, how to get along with teammates? How to organize a team? How to score!
The problem in front of James at this time is definitely not a problem that I can solve on impulse! No matter how strong the individual is, this will not solve the problem on the highest stage. Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, and James all did that, but they all failed, and later played in the Finals where the team only won.
James himself has failed, so he is bent on the team, and when he plays, he goes too far and shrinks too much.
In short, the bombardment of the media and fans. So that James's entanglements and concerns did not disappear, but more, the media and fans were equivalent to helping the Pelicans, disturbing James's heart, and weakening the absolute strength of the Cavaliers.
The game was played at the Cavaliers' home speed loan center, and at the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers still had point guard Irving, scoring guard Waiters, and small forward James. Power forward Lefou, center Tristan Thompson.
Compared to the Cavaliers, the Pelicans are almost new, point guard Corey. Scoring guard Granger, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, center Pau Gasol.
On the outside, the Knight still has an advantage. But the Pelicans have a huge advantage on the inside, with Al Jefferson being good at heads-up on the inside, and Love being the worst at defending the low post. Pau Gasol is technically comprehensive. Tristan Thompson's defensive effectiveness is mediocre.
The strength of the two teams in the main lineup is about the same, and when it comes to the bench lineup, the advantage of the Pelicans comes out, Turner, Pierce, and Henson's bench lineup is simply the bench lineup that killed the Cavaliers in seconds.
The Cavaliers' bench lineup only has AJ Price, Mike Miller, Jones, Haslem, these pure role players, and the gap between the two teams' bench lineups is huge, which is why the Cavaliers will fail once James can't play.
The lineup was lined up, the game began, and Pau Gasol was still very happy to bully Thompson at the beginning.
The basketball went to Corey's hand, Cory advanced steadily, and the first ball was not given to Li Feng, but immediately to Pau Gasol.
The Pelicans have an inside advantage in playing the Cavaliers, and they must take advantage of it when they come up, and Pau Gasol took the ball before dribbling, and the Cavaliers' bag immediately chased it frantically.
Pau Gasol didn't expect the Cavaliers' bag to be so crazy to catch up with three people at once, he immediately threw the ball to Granger outside, Granger This is a big vacancy, shot a three-pointer, but today may have changed the venue, or it may be not used to the atmosphere of the away game, Granger's very good vacant shot actually missed.
The Cavaliers are also a team that can play fast, once the Pelicans make a mistake, the Cavaliers immediately counterattacked quickly, and the Cavaliers' fast break can basically be understood as the connection between James and Irving.
Owen dribbled the ball forward quickly, ferociously with his body. Bumped into Corey, of course Cory couldn't hit Owen and was carried by Owen so fast.
When it came to the Pelicans half, Irving immediately threw the ball to the rebound, and James, who followed up, flew up and scored the opening two points in an aerial relay.
James's side was slammed at the beginning, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, you must know that he was under a lot of pressure today and was scolded very much, and now he played a violent dunk that he is good at at the beginning, and James suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
James can play well at the beginning, and he can definitely give him a psychological sooth.
The Pelicans continued to play, still not giving up the advantage of the inside, and Al Jefferson took the ball and immediately began to attack.
As a result, the Cavaliers still didn't want to kill the three people to wrap Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson passed the ball out to Li Feng, Li Feng took advantage of the chaos to create a foul on the opponent, and went to the free throw line Li Feng hit both free throws, and the Pelicans scored steadily at the beginning of today.
The pace of the game didn't look like it had changed, and the Cavaliers could only nibble on the Pelicans' halfcourt position.
But at this time, Irving has changed his way to get along with James, who used to pass the ball and make an indomitable offensive sword.
Today, Irving passed the ball, and Irving was not as capable as James, so he used the simplest defense to break inside, and then turned back to James, and this time it was the same.
Irving slammed in, then jumped up and turned back to pass the ball to James, who was a lot more relaxed and less hesitant to get the ball on the wing.
In the past, James always hesitated to take the ball, but now he doesn't have to hesitate to take the ball in the back, and he shoots a mid-range shot and shoots steadily.
James hit two balls in a row, felt a lot more comfortable, and also regained a lot of confidence in his long-range shot.
Once James' confidence returns, the Cavaliers will suddenly play more comfortably at home, and once James's side plays normally. The Cavaliers immediately played with ease, and the two teams ended the first quarter in a tie.
This result made the Cavaliers fans breathe a long sigh of relief, James finally stopped playing soy sauce.
ABC's Knight Elder Dorty was also asking Hubie Brown at this time:
"It looks like James's watch is good today!"
"Yes! The main thing is that Owen has a lot of help, Owen has passed a lot of simple balls to James, and the more simple balls he plays, is enough to boost his confidence. Once James' confidence returns, the game will not be easy. But I believe the Pelicans won't let James continue to play like this. ”
Back in the second quarter, the two teams went to the bench, and on the Cavaliers' side, Irving played with the bench lineup. In this way, he still fought with the Pelicans' pure substitute.
The second quarter lasted about three minutes, and the score of the two teams remained at 34-34.
After playing this kind of start, the Cavaliers should be satisfied, because James at least has no soy sauce today, and the Pelicans don't seem to be in very good shape, especially the Pelicans' best three-point shot, which has not improved much today.
But this kind of moment is destined to not last long, and the Pelican saw that the time was almost up at this time, and Van Gundy decisively replaced Li Feng. The Pelicans are starting to play their most ferocious mixed lineup.
As soon as the Cavaliers saw that the Pelicans began to make substitutions, they also hurriedly replaced James.
At this time, James came up and was still in good shape. In the first quarter, he played well, and in the second quarter he was ready to come up and continue to play.
But as soon as James came back at this time, Li Feng immediately began to hold the ball. In the first quarter today, Li Feng played relatively little. The three-point shooting percentage of teammates is also average, so the Pelicans don't have much advantage today.
At this moment, Li Feng felt that he should come up and beat him hard. He took the ball and faced James is to lower his body, and suddenly jumped, Li Feng beat James and changed a routine, that is, to use flexible movement to find offensive opportunities.
Once Li Feng moves here, he is actually even more jumpy than Pierce, because Li Feng's steps are larger and faster, and the range of shaking is wider.
Li Feng took a step back on the left and a step back on the right, two steps back in a row, pulling the space very open.
James felt a little helpless on his side, and when he was at a loss, Li Feng stepped to the basket again, came up and shook, and then his body shook from side to side, and James was slightly stunned.
Li Feng took a big step below, passed half of James's body, and then jumped up and dodged in the air, and threw the basketball to the basket with an easy half-hook hand from Thompson, who caught up.
Li Feng's folded hook hand in the air was simply gorgeous, Li Feng scored in the most gorgeous way, and gave the knight a dismount as soon as he opened.
The Cavaliers naturally wanted to respond to each other, but the Cavaliers pushed over and immediately passed the basketball to James.
James naturally wanted to play singles once, but Li Feng hated to let go of most of the way to James, and the best way for James to get the ball was to shoot directly from a distance, or stick it to attack with his back.
But James won't turn his back, and now he can only choose to shoot from a distance, James hesitated for a moment and decided to shoot directly from a distance, and his hand in the first quarter was still good.
But as soon as James made a move, Li Feng immediately pounced out and made a close-fitting action, Li Feng suddenly pounced out to harass, it was still very disgusting close-fitting, James was worried that Li Feng was stepping on his feet below, and his attention was slightly distracted.
James's mid-range shot suddenly met a better defense, and suddenly the shot missed, and James's heart was still not completely wiped out. When he encountered a slightly tougher defense, he immediately began to doubt himself.
James missed the shot, and the basketball was taken by Lefou, so it was naturally a strong long pass.
The Pelicans' fast break came out, and Pierce turned around and passed to Li Feng as he advanced in possession.
Li Feng took the ball at this time to face James who pounced, and while leaning on James to dribble one step or two, he suddenly pulled the basketball with his left hand.
Li Feng pulled the basketball weirdly through Li Feng's crotch, and others controlled the ball with their left hand and wanted to change direction to the right, but Li Feng passed it from the left this time, which was completely contrary to common sense.
The ball went past James, Li Feng went directly to the basket, and an easy layup scored two points again.
Li Feng's trick has been used by Ginoby a few times, but it is not commonly used, and now once Li Feng uses it, he will immediately make the whole court shocked.
Because this trick is so weird. With a sudden touch in the plain, you can change direction and kill people to get points.
James was caught off guard and was overshadowed by Li Feng again, and he was also greatly annoyed.
When it was hot to the Pelicans' half, Li Feng let go of James by half a step, and James was very helpless at this time.
He will not attack with his back, he can only choose to continue shooting from the outside, and continue to trust his shooting skills.
But James is not the kind of person who can be simple, he always feels that shooting directly on the outside is a bit too simple, and it doesn't seem normal for the whole team's offense to be maintained on his own shooting.
Truly. It is certainly not normal for the whole team's offense to be maintained in the mid-range shot, at this time, if James learns to attack in the low post, he can not only play, but also make fouls, and pass as the center axis is the best way, but the hell is that James is so good that he can't attack in the low post. All of a sudden, the knight lost a lot!
James couldn't get up a mid-range again, and this time James' dry mid-range shot was finally hit.
But James's mid-range is obviously forced, and there is no way for me to throw a mid-distance! Not like that. If you dare to let me go, if you let me go, I will kill you. James lacks that confidence in the mid-range, so shooting a ball doesn't feel lethal.
Just when James shot the middle distance, Li Feng also killed with the ball. At this time, Li Feng once killed.
James was also let go of half a step because he was passed twice, and he wanted to see how Li Feng dealt with this situation.
Li Feng saw that James actually used his own way to deal with him, and immediately smiled slightly, I am different from you.
Li Feng and James are indeed different. Li Feng is more comprehensive, and even the shooter's off-ball tactics Li Feng is very proficient, not to mention this kind of low-post attack. Li Feng started from a low position.
Therefore, Li Feng did not hesitate to attack James with his back in the low post, and James himself would not attack in the low post. But the defensive ability is still very strong, Li Feng came up and hit twice, but he didn't take advantage of any position.
In this way, Li Feng can only become stronger, and in order to fight skillfully, he changes to the other hand, presses it inside, but retreats towards the back.
Li Feng suddenly retreated sharply, James was pressed inside and couldn't get out, Li Feng shot a middle wipe shot to score two points again.
Li Feng scored two more points, and Li Feng successfully set off James with his beautiful step-back, and James was powerless under the basket.
In this way, James finally understood the problem, and people just saw their weaknesses and fought to the death. In fact, as long as you can play a low-post attack, there will be nothing, but on the contrary, you just can't do it, which is the key to the problem.
Li Feng used a breakthrough and hit James deeply with his back attack, and when James came over with the ball again, he didn't know whether he should jump directly or attack with his back.
Just when James hesitated, the Pelicans seized the opportunity to desperately defend the Cavaliers' key players.
In the end, James still chose to shoot, but he was too hesitant and missed the shot.
Shooting this thing, the key is confidence, a player wants to eat by shooting, he has to learn from JR Smith and Kobe, Tie 10,000 times also believes that his projection skills will be able to shoot, 10,000 shots also believe that 10,000 shots can still be shot. In short, you have to absolutely believe in your shot, and if you can't do that, you can't be a top shooter.
Top hit rate comes after top confidence, not vice versa. For shooters, confidence is more important than a qiē, as long as there is space in their own range, they must shoot, resolutely throw, decisively shoot, and even if there is no space to enter, they must create zào space, this is the will of a shooter, and those top shooters in the league are all virtuous.
But although James has a good shooting percentage, he is not a top scorer, so he can't take advantage of the opportunity. (To be continued......)
