Chapter 805: A Classic Moment

Oladipo, who completed the final redemption, threw the basketball to the front court, where Li Feng was running wildly, no one knew why Li Feng had such a premonition at this time, no one knew, but Li Feng just did it, maybe he always believed that his brother, even if he didn't shoot that three-pointer.

In an instant, before Popovich was furious with the referee, he roared at his players, grabbed them, grabbed them, and in an instant, the roles were reversed, and the person who was caught became the other side of the captor, and began to run away desperately.

Li Feng knew that he couldn't hide, and the moment he received the basketball, he saw that on the other side, there was a person running over, and the Spurs didn't pay much attention to him, but he should have alerted the Spurs, without him, there would be no current situation.

Li Feng received the ball, and without waiting for Parker to pounce on himself, he pointed the basketball directly to the other side, Arenas received the basketball, and then he stood behind the three-point line and shouted, Parker had chased into the three-point line, and Danny Green had not yet arrived.

Only Arenas was quiet, holding the basketball and pausing as if waiting for time before making a move.

The magnificence and sharpness of the three-point shot once rewrote the history of the league, and the NBA drew the three-point shot to ask everyone to pull it away, the distance under the basket, but I never thought that a line has already had countless legendary stars, and a line has already had countless classic moments.

And by this time, Arenas had already raised his hands in the air to celebrate the goal that had not yet been scored, and the general was back!!

"Huh!"

The white waves rolled up, and when the time came to an end, the New Orleans arena exploded all at once.

"Wow!" "Oh!" "Ahh

Countless cheers, all kinds of celebratory expressions burst out of this stadium, almost everyone jumped up from the bench, this is their team, this is the victory.

The ecstatic Pelicans jumped up. Even the players on the rest bench also went straight to the center of the field, and Li Feng was the first to run over and lift Arenas up, yes, yes.

There was a huge cheer, a meal belt in the sky, a cheering crowd, and the Holy City cavalry was lonely, Duncan stroked Parker's head, and said in his mouth:

"Tony. This is just the beginning, this is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go, the playoffs, the finals are our stage. ”

But the Spurs lost after all, and Popovich also stood up at this time, there were some objective factors in his loss, and the first half of the third quarter was not his own Spurs, the last moment. The Pelicans made two miracle shots in a row, one was a three-pointer tied by Li Feng, the other was the strange appearance of Oladipo, and a quick steal. This is an important factor in the decision, Popovich sorted out the suit, he will not make excuses for defeat, Popovich's army is at war. And there is no excuse for war.

Antoine Walker shouted from the commentary seat:

"Li Feng's Pelicans got the victory, they beat the Spurs beautifully, and it was a great fight. It's a new start for the Pelicans, so let's get to know the Pelicans again, and we're looking forward to them in the playoffs this season. ”

"The Pelicans' performance is amazing, they're on par with the Spurs, they're doing a good job."

Drexler was yelling, too.

Reggie Miller happily looked at his former team, looked at the cheering crowd, this was his happiest moment, seeing these as if he had led the team to win, but at this time Albert was still muttering quietly:

"Look, the Spurs won't be done until the playoffs start, so see."

Miller was a little annoyed at first when he heard Albert's words, but he laughed instead, he was a stubborn old fellow, and like himself, it was too hard to change his opinion.

And on the ESPN side, Hubie Brown is also excitedly saying:

"The Pelicans controlled the game in the last dozen seconds, they did a miracle, and if this was a Finals, he would make history."

Hubi spoke highly of the Pelicans.

Admiral David Robinson looked at Arenas, who was being lifted up by his teammates, and said:

"The biggest mistake of the Spurs today was not to think about the Pelicans and Arenas, maybe he was abandoned by the league, or even reduced to the CBA, but now he is back."

The name of Arenas has also begun to re-enter the hearts of fans.

Li Feng strode into the players' tunnel, finally won, finally won, Li Feng, who won the game, first hugged Natalie who was waiting for him in the players' tunnel.

Then he strode into the locker room, and met every Pelican staff member in the player tunnel who greeted the Pelicans with smiling faces, and the Pelicans knocked the Spurs to the ground this time.

If anyone says that the Pelicans are a pseudo-powerhouse, there will be no evidence to be found.

Li Feng strode into the locker room, then sat in front of his cabinet with his head up, won the Spurs, and the breath in Li Feng's heart was spit out, and then whether the Pelicans can maintain the league's first winning rate depends on the Pelicans' own ability.

Behind Li Feng, these Pelican players walked in one by one, and Arenas, who was very cool, strutted and shouted:

"Today, I'm going to invite everyone to drink."

"Of course, General, I must have you a treat tonight."

DJ Augustin in the back echoed the voice.

Today, the Pelicans' locker room was filled with a sense of pride, not only the joy of victory, but also the pride of finally beating the Spurs and overcoming the media's questioning.

The teammates were laughing loudly and talking loudly in the locker room, and Li Feng was also leaning on the locker and laughing.

While everyone was rejoicing, Van Gundy walked in from outside, he glanced at everyone and laughed too:

"It was a great game today, but unfortunately we won in the end."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

"I know you've got a plan to hang out tonight, and I'm not going to bother you, so let's have a little meeting now, so let's make it a celebration."

"Today we finally got another win over the Spurs, we beat the Bulls, we beat the Spurs, which are recognized as the top teams in the league, and we were lucky. It's also the effort of all of our players, and now it's time to set our goals. ”

Van Gundy turned to Li Feng and said:

"Li Feng, what do you think, do you want to say something?"

Li Feng didn't want to say anything, but now that he is the core of the team, as a core player of the team, Li Feng still has to say what he thinks.

Seeing that everyone is looking at themselves, Li Feng actually has the most words and wants to say something the most, from the beginning of the competition to the present.

Li Feng thought about it and said:

"Our league first, not a breeze, but one after another fighting, that is the result of our hard work, now we have come to this point, I don't think any media will call us a pseudo-strong team again, this game we are fighting for not only a victory, but also respect, is everyone's respect for us. When we can't defeat a strong enemy, no one will respect us, and only when we defeat a strong enemy, they will respect us. ”

"I think now we have done it. We've earned the respect of the media, and we've earned the respect of all the fans, but I would say that our respect is something we fought for. I would like to draw attention to the fact that once we stop fighting, we will lose their respect for us. I hope you can do it. ”

Li Feng rarely makes such speeches, especially among his teammates, Li Feng used to think that it was unnecessary, which would make everyone think that he was unsociable, but at this time Li Feng felt that he still had to remind everyone.

After Li Feng finished speaking, everyone quieted down, and Van Gundy said at this time:

"Okay, everybody's going to take a shower, and we're going to meet with those reporters later? Arenas, Li Feng, you come with me to the press conference. ”

Van Gundy left after saying this, Li Feng and Oladipo went to the bathroom to take a bath together, Oladipo said in the bathroom that the water was flowing to the maximum, and then quietly said to Li Feng:

"Li Feng, why did you say that after the game, aren't you afraid that DJ Augustine will be unhappy, this is not a favorite word."

Oladipo looked at Li Feng a little worriedly, Li Feng knew that Oladipo cared about himself, so he also said quietly:

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't like it, as long as the team is good."

Li Feng took a shower and went to the press conference with Arenas, going to the press conference is really a normal thing for Li Feng, but it is even more important for Arenas.

Arenas doesn't have a very high status with the Pelicans, and the starting position is unstable, but today he should be the main character.

Li Feng, Van Gundy, and Arenas sat in the Pelicans' home media hall.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the reporters began to ask questions:

"Mr. Van Gundy, you are the best team since the start of the season right now, what do you have to say about that?"

Van Gundy sorted out the microphone, very officially, and said without letting his pride leak out:

'It's a team effort, it's a team effort and we're happy to be number one in the league and it's an honour for us."

After Van Gundy finished speaking, he put down the microphone, and then the reporter transferred the fire to Li Feng.

"Li Feng, you saved your team again today, every night in New Orleans, it seems that you can save the team in the fourth quarter, and the last goal is very beautiful, do you have anything to say about that?"

Li Feng does not plan to be high-profile in front of the media, in fact, he should learn from the Spurs, keep a low profile in front of the media, and be high-profile in the locker room, and must make preparations completely in the back.

Li Feng also said routinely:

"It wasn't me who saved the team today, we couldn't do anything without Victor Oladipo's steal, we couldn't do anything without Arenas' shots, the reason why our team was able to win was simply the strength of the team, not my personal energy, I couldn't do without everyone's cooperation."

The reporters quickly discovered that it was difficult to get any news from Van Gundy or Li Feng, so they shifted their firepower to Arenas, who rarely attended such occasions.

"General, your table tonight is perfect, you scored 30 points tonight, it's an unexpected blow for the Spurs, do you have anything to say about your own table?"

The media was not disappointed, and this Arenas was indeed much louder than his teammates and coaches.

"Oh, did I get 30 points? I didn't even think of it myself? ”

Arenas feigned surprise at first. Then he said:

"I don't think I'm an accident, I think our team can jump out and score points without me, and our quality can guarantee that the Spurs guys will suffer a little."

From Arenas, the reporters saw that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, so they simply focused their firepower on Arenas.

"Arenas in the first few games of the Pelicans, you didn't play, you will play more later, in the future appearances, will you still have a table like today?"

Later appearances are mentioned. Arenas rejoiced:

"yes, for the time being, I'll be on the Pelicans' bench, and I'm going to try to score 30 points every game like I did today, and I think then our winning streak will continue."

Arenas got a little carried away here, Li Feng and Van Gundy didn't think too much, this guy played well today, let him go, but what the two didn't expect was that what happened next was really beyond their expectations.

"Mr. Arenas, then. What do you think of the Spurs? How do you think the Spurs played today,"

"I regret the Spurs today, they are playing in the dirtiest way possible, they are doing dirty. It's not just Leonard, it's the others, they're in the New Orleans arena, but I promise the Argentinian pulled my clothes at least 20 times. ”

Journalists just thought at first. Will dig up the news from Arenas, I didn't expect this guy to be a big mouth, such mutual accusations. Exactly what they need.

Li Feng didn't expect that Arenas would complain about the way the Spurs played here, this kind of thing is casually said in the locker room, but in front of the media, it will cause a war of words, and then the saber rattling during the game.

Li Feng hurriedly touched Arenas with his foot below, asking him not to talk nonsense, Arenas looked at Li Feng in surprise, only to see that Li Feng and his head coach were looking at him, Arenas was such a smart guy didn't react at this time, he was really dull at this time.

However, the reporters did not give Arenas time to react, and after getting the results, they continued to dig deeper.

"So, Arenas, do you hate the Spurs guys, and those guys are the ones you hate the most."

"The first one to bear the brunt is Leonard, who almost killed our leader, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and then the two Argentines Ginobili and Split, the South American guys are very good at cheating, I think everyone knows that."

Hearing Arenas say this, Van Gundy and Li Feng closed their eyes, if Arenas just blamed the Spurs players, it was still a matter between the teams, and he actually accused South Americans in front of the media, which can be labeled as racist, although Arenas's own meaning has nothing to do with racial discrimination, but he can't stop those media from excitedly pulling the problem in this direction.

Li Feng thought again at this time, if he didn't talk about this issue again, Arenas would look good, and sure enough, Li Feng could see that several reporters of South American descent had already raised their hands in the crowd.

It seemed that he was very angry, so Li Feng quickly pulled the microphone and said:

"Leonard, that guy is really hateful, he almost ruined my leg, and I'm here to officially state to everyone that I'm going to complain about Leonard to the league, and I'm going to complain about Leonard to Stern."

Li Feng originally wanted to pull the attraction back on himself, but those reporters didn't seem to plan to let Arenas go at all, and those South Americans were still raising their arms angrily, Li Feng thought in his heart that this matter was not easy to solve.

He hurriedly looked at Van Gundy, who simply put his mouth to Arenas's ear and told Arenas about the matter, and Arenas nodded there as if he understood, but as soon as the reporter asked a question.

"Mr. Arenas, are you referring to people you dislike, or hate, South Americans, do you mean?"

Van Gundy was counting on it. Arenas was able to turn the subject around and not let the media ask any more questions, and Arenas opened his mouth and said:

"I don't hate all South Americans, but I hate all South American athletes, they use the rules, but they cheat the rules, they are not pure athletes at all, they are not at all, even if they achieve high achievements, they rely on deception."

Neither Li Feng nor Van Gundy thought of it. Arenas will openly come out against South American players, although it can't be considered racial discrimination at this time, but it will definitely cause a big reaction, you must know that there are definitely a lot of South American players in the professional league in the United States.

Van Gundy felt that things couldn't go on like this, and he hurriedly announced the end of the press conference.

Van Gundy, Li Feng, and Arenas all returned to the locker room, and on the way Van Gundy asked Arenas very depressed:

"Arenas, what's wrong with you. Why are you saying that, because then the South Americans will see you as an enemy. ”

"Those guys almost pulled me in half today, and they actually dared to blackfoot Li Feng. We should fight back, we should, fight back against the Spurs guys, or they'll think we're all messed with. It's not going to work, we're going to fight back. ”

Li Feng and Van Gundy channeled Arenas so they knew. The Pelicans couldn't be calm for a while, which made Van Gundy very helpless, but now that he has found his team, he can't be calm at all.

Back in the locker room, Arenas said his words and was actually supported by his teammates.

Then these excited pelican boys went to the bar for a drink, and today they had a reason to rejoice and a reason to celebrate.

The Pelicans defeated the Spurs and made headlines in major sports newspapers the next day.

On the Pelicans' side, the second point is that the general manager of the team complained to the league about Leonard, submitted Leonard's video to the league's arbitration committee, and asked the league to punish Leonard to achieve fairness, of course, Li Feng's technical foul must also be recovered.

Although the league's arbitration committee did not answer how to punish Leonard, it first revoked the fine against Li Feng and left Li Feng with a sum of money.

On the other hand, the Pelicans are suing the Spurs, but after the Spurs players heard Arenas's remarks, they could make a collective denunciation of Arenas, saying that Arenas insulted the Spurs, and the more radical ones were always the French, Tony Parker made a statement when he returned to San Antonio.

"Arenas should be held accountable for his words and actions, the Pelicans just beat the Spurs in the regular season, they don't have anything to be proud of, to be proud, let's wait until they get to the West in the playoffs."

Parker's meaning is obvious, the Pelicans are not qualified to be compared to the Spurs right now, and if they want to be compared to the Spurs, let's go to the Finals.

The response of the Spurs and Parker was only mild, but on the other side, the South American sports columnist Cesc Fabregas attacked Arenas in the Portuguese newspaper, citing the contributions of South Americans in the United States, and also citing the outstanding performance of South American sports stars in the American sports arena, and sarcastically saying that Arenas is just a third-rate player, and it is really shameless to be generous here.

Of course, Arenas did not let go of his opponent, he said in an interview with a local reporter in New Orleans:

"Those South American guys, the most contributed is not the goal, but the fake fall, said the contribution, even China has contributed more than them, at least Yao Ming does not fake the fall."

The Pelicans looked in trouble, and Arenas' exposure for the Pelicans was getting higher and higher, and that's when the Pelicans arrived in Oakland, where they played the Warriors.

It's a pity that after the battle of the Spurs, the Pelicans seem to have run out of luck, in Oakland, their luck was extremely bad, Li Feng almost injured his ankle during the game, and then it was a false alarm when he was checked, but Van Gundy immediately reduced Li Feng's playing time, lost Li Feng, and Rose's play was also very unsatisfactory, and the shooting rate was greatly reduced.

After this game, Arenas, who has been very diligent recently, played well, and scored another 35 points, setting a team-high record, but the game was lost, and the loss was very bleak 106-93, a difference of 13 points. (To be continued......)
