Chapter 915: Feel
The Nets are preparing for another comeback in their locker room, but here with the Pelicans, there's a different atmosphere in the locker room.
Henson laughed happily there:
"I finally made that guy Garnett depressed today, and when you see his face, he just thought that he only got a few points in the whole first half, and he couldn't do anything at this point."
"yes, I suddenly have a sense of emptiness, think about how unlucky we are with the Grizzlies and Spurs, and the situation is very good, the Nets are not our opponents at all, they are completely finished."
Kaloon Butler is also gloating.
"The strength of the Nets is not good, the outside can only rely on Joe Johnson to attack, this kind of thing is simply miserable, let's think about how many points we will win in the next Finals."
At this point, even the normally silent Biedrins was a little excited.
Although Li Feng felt that it was too early to win, it was indeed an indisputable fact that the decline of the Nets and the strength of the Pelicans were more balanced, and Li Feng also sat in the corner of the locker room and looked at everyone with a smile.
At halftime at the New Orleans Center, a Latin dance team was invited to perform an enthusiastic Latin dance for everyone, and many fans who wanted to go out for an event immediately stayed to admire the thighs of those beautiful girls, but at this time, Barkley ran into the media channel, and then the cat called Li Feng in a corner.
"Hey, kid, your three three-pointers in the first quarter are really good, you've been stealthy all season, is that Jeff's request?"
"Of course see your big today. Cat’s meow. Mi, so excited. ”
Li Feng heard Barkley's voice on the phone, and said excitedly.
"I have a friend who is looking for an NBA home for a fast food commercial, do you have any interest?"
Li Feng didn't expect Barkley to say this to himself, so Li Feng paused for a while and said: "
I don't know, you know I hate those lights. But if it's a friend, I think I'll consider it. ”
"Oh, my God, Li Feng, you are also my friend, you just have to think about whether you want to or not, I just ask, that's all, that's your life, don't change you because of me. That's unwise, Li Feng did a good job in the second half, shooting a little three-pointer at most, so that Kenny didn't tease that guy. ”
Barkley hung up the phone after saying this, and Li Feng thought about it for a while and decided to take the advertisement, although he didn't make money from it.
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Li Feng stood up from his position, and the scene immediately burst into applause.
The opening was the Pelicans' possession, and Li Feng watched the form of the court. At this time, it should be closed, the third quarter widened the point difference, directly cleaned up the Nets, and the Nets counterattacked at most in the fourth quarter. But it also needs a strong defense against the Pelicans.
After Li Feng thought of this, he immediately dribbled to the half court of the Nets, and the Nets are still using Joe Johnson to defend Li Feng, because if DeLong is used to suffer too much in height.
Only Joe Johnson defending Li Feng is the most suitable option. Joe Johnson didn't realize at this time that Li Feng was going to come over directly and start attacking, he was just planning how to use tricks to get Li Feng for a while.
As soon as the game began, the crowds on both sides of the arena were still cheering. Li Feng seemed to dribble silently to the half of the Nets, but before the cheers came to an end, Li Feng had already broken through very suddenly.
Joe Johnson also didn't expect that Li Feng would attack directly in the third quarter, he didn't expect that Li Feng would attack so suddenly, and after a little stunned, Li Feng broke through all of a sudden, and directly flashed Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson didn't react at all, Li Feng directly impulsed the Nets' interior line, and at this time, the Wolves King was also preparing to do a big game in the third quarter on the inside, and he was ready to attack with all his might.
At this time, Li Feng was pounced, and Garnett saw that Li Feng pounced so suddenly, and he suddenly rushed out of the inner line.
Li Feng's first step was very easy to kill, but after he came in, he glanced at Garnett in front of him, and he immediately knew that he was wrong, and he was really a little wrong.
The Nets are indeed relatively not very strong, but they are not weak enough to attack the ground wantonly, and Garnett Li Feng, who is facing him, must make a decision, whether to shoot or pass.
The gap between recklessness and courage is just that, Li Feng still chose to be the team at the last moment, and gently threw the basketball towards Henson behind Garnett.
Henson was behind Garnett, struggling to snatch the basketball thrown by Li Feng, and this time the basketball went directly to the most critical basket of the Nets, at this time Garnett glanced at Li Feng hatefully, and hurriedly turned back to defend Henson, and Brook Lopez hurriedly gave up Brand and pounced on this Henson.
This time, Henson was sandwiched by two big men, and Henson was not a player who was good at attacking in the low post, and at this time the Pelicans' offense was in jeopardy, and Henson also knew that he was not good at forcing offense.
So he played his own way, he used his own way to help the team, and in the middle of this, this guy made a feint with the basketball and suddenly smashed the basketball into his crotch with both hands.
The basketball smashed directly into Li Fengdi's hands from Henson's crotch, and Li Feng complained to Henson while receiving the ball, "Damn, you can't choose a better way to pass the ball." He raised his hand and made a wipe shot.
Li Feng and Henson played an alternative cooperation and completed the attack, and Henson was very disdainful in his heart.
After he came to the Pelicans' half, he didn't go to the low post to ask for the ball first like in the half, but after coming, the horse was very active in the high post to cover back and forth, and Garnett's unusual behavior made Henson a little uncomfortable.
He didn't know whether to shrink inside, or to follow out, and finally thought about it or to close it inside.
Henson decided to stay inside, and at this point he was hit by Alan Anderson, who was covered by Guò and Garnett, and Alan Anderson and Garnett rushed in after the screen, causing Henson to take a step backwards.
At this time, Alan Anderson threw the basketball to Garnett, Garnett received the basketball, and in front of him was a huge space of two steps, and the wolf king was originally an outlier in the inner line, not only powerful but also bouncing and moving, and also had extraordinary talent.
Given Garnett space to take two steps ahead, Garnett was able to rush up after a short acceleration. Bang Bang Garnett dribbled twice in a row, accelerated to completion, and used his extraordinary bounce power to jump up directly in front of Henson, raise the basketball with one hand, and throw it towards the basket.
Henson looked back and saw that the wolf king was actually in front of him, and he had to jump to block, but in the absence of physical contact and pure bounce ratio height, Henson's defense was not a threat at all
Henson's hand touched Garnett's forearm. Garnett's basketball was also thrown, Garnett's throw was not elegant at all, and there was no soft touch, it looked like Ouyang Feng's toad skill, hard.
But this time, Henson just helped Garnett unload a little strength, Garnett's throw went in, and he had to make 21 free throws
Garnett watched Henson triumphantly reach the free throw line, but as soon as the basketball was in Garnett's hands, the New Orleans Center immediately booed Garnett. Garnett took a cautious shot against the boos of the New Orleans center, and this time Garnett hit the free throw.
Henson was depressed when he saw Garnett looking smug there, so he ran. While saying in Li Feng's ear:
"Li Feng, how about this round, which guy I want a surprise."
Li Feng looked at Henson and said:
"You can't help it so quickly, that's good. You only get one chance, and if you feel good, we'll have to talk about it. ”
After Henson got Li Feng's affirmation. immediately went to the interior of the Nets, and uncharacteristically began to compete for a low-post position in the interior of the Nets, and Henson had no low-post offensive ability in the previous games.
So there is rarely this kind of cooperation, but now that Henson suddenly came over to the position, Garnett felt a little wrong, but he definitely didn't expect Henson to attack in the low post.
But the more people can't guess, the more dangerous it is, just when Garnett thinks Henson is incompetent in the low post.
Li Feng's basketball outside the three-point line was directly stuffed into Henson's arms, Henson got the basketball, and he also knew that it was extremely difficult for Garnett to win with his strength, so Henson chose his own way.
After receiving the ball, he suddenly made a passing feint and waved his arm to the weak side, which is Henson's usual role, Henson often responds to the team's attack, so as soon as Henson does this, Garnett Ma was attracted to the attention and looked towards the weak side.
Just when Garnett was a little distracted, Henson suddenly turned around and reached out for a very fast little hook, and the feel was very soft, and by the time Garnett showed himself, Henson had already easily got the score.
"Haha, Henson scored easily with a little trick, and Garnett didn't expect the team to play himself."
Kenny Smith was clearly very fond of Henson's little tricks.
"yes, look at Garnett's innocent eyes, it's just funny."
Barkley, too, was loudly mocking Garnett.
After being teased, Garnett glared at Henson angrily, but Henson just made a reluctant gesture towards the angry wolf king, Li Feng also laughed when he saw this, and the center of that one is now gradually full-fledged.
The Wolves are definitely not easy to mess with, and when the Nets attack again, he still just hovers in the Pelicans' high post and continues to cover, allowing his smaller players to impact the Pelicans' interior.
Joe Johnson got into the Pelicans' interior line from Garnett's side, and this time Henson didn't dare to shrink inside, he followed Garnett's ass with one side, so as soon as Joe Johnson came up from behind, he immediately made up for it and blocked Joe Johnson.
But Joe Johnson was not reconciled, forced a breakthrough, and went to the Pelicans' inside line, Henson could only follow Joe Johnson to go inside at this time, leaving Garnett outside to Li Feng Li Feng suddenly became a single defensive Garnett, this is definitely a challenge, when the big fights the small and the big play the big is the opportunity to attack.
Garnett saw that Li Feng was in front of him, and he was also overjoyed, beating a small man, especially a small man like Li Feng, this is simply what Garnett wants to do the most, and what he is most willing to do, hurriedly yelled at Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson also happened to be under the basket and was blocked by Henson, so he threw the basketball out and threw it to Garnett. When Garnett received the basketball, Li Feng hurriedly leaned over and pressed against Garnett.
At this time, Li Feng was about to fight Garnett face-to-face, and Charles Barkley said in the commentary seat:
"Garnett got the ball in the high post, and in front of him was Li Feng, and the Pelicans and Nets were facing off at this moment, and although they weren't in the same position, no one cared about that now."
Barkley was talking quickly, and at this moment Garnett suddenly started after receiving the basketball, Garnett's body was one size taller than Li Feng, and Li Feng was usually able to control the situation immediately at the moment of physical contact when he was defending. But when he faced Garnett.
He actually found that it was not himself who controlled the situation this time, but Garnett on the opposite side, Li Feng, who was used to defending with his body, and in this attack, he couldn't find a suitable way to contain Garnett at all.
Although it is old, it is still powerful.
Although Garnett also felt that this Li Feng was like a stone on his feet, and he was in a lot of pain, but he endured the pain for a while, and crushed Li Feng through his body with a gritted tooth.
After Garnett crushed Li Feng. Rushed straight to the inside line.
It was too late for Henson to turn around, and he could only watch as Garnett came with a beautiful left-handed basket and sent it into his own basket.
"Oh, Garnett simply killed Li Feng neatly. Li Feng may have thought of Garnett simply, thinking that he was old and his legs were not good. ”
Garnett scored again in this way, and Kidd understood it off the court. Van Gundy saw Garnett struggle to score when he couldn't get around the front of the defense on the inside, and now he has Garnett cut into the frame instead.
Not to mention that this hand is really good. Garnett's two face-frame attacks paid off.
At this time, Van Gundy wanted to stand up and call a timeout, but he suddenly saw Li Feng there and Brand was plotting something, and when he saw Li Feng doing this, Van Gundy stopped his movements, because Van Gundy suddenly wanted to know if he didn't control the whole game, would Li Feng adjust the rhythm of the game.
Van Gundy's guess was not wrong, Li Feng did see Garnett's offensive mode change at this time, so he felt that Brand should come over to help defend it, if Brand could slightly delay Garnett's breakthrough.
Henson can retract and finish the bag or switch defenses himself.
The third quarter has always been an important quarter for many games where the change of momentum starts in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter is the moment of key moments, not the moment of changing the team's situation.
At this time, the Pelicans were looking to solve the opponent in the third quarter, while the Nets wanted to turn their decline in the third quarter, and both sides were adopting a fighting posture to dribble to the Nets' half.
Henson immediately came to cooperate with Li Feng to block and dismantle, Li Feng broke through from the left side to attract the attention of the Nets, but he did not force the attack, but quickly stuffed the basketball into the hands of Rose in the bottom corner.
Rose, facing Anthony's defense, immediately shifted to the hands of Arenas at the top of the arc, and Arenas felt good in front of him at this time, so Arenas wanted to get closer to the frame.
After receiving the basketball, he dribbled forward and took a big step inside the three-point line before making a pull-up jump shot, Arenas was too high by Alan Anderson, and he could shoot with a little space.
Alan Anderson basically didn't have any way to take Arenas, so as soon as Arenas made a move, he could only reach out and try to interfere, but Arenas, who was closer to the basket, felt it.
The shot simply hit this mid-range shot, and after entering this mid-range shot, Arenas himself shouted very excitedly.
Because his hand felt bad in the second quarter, now once the hand feels back, he feels that his offensive touch is completely back, confidence and feel are such connected things, confidence comes back and the feel will come back soon.
After the Nets came back, they still wanted to play the tactic that Garnett cut in from the high position just now, but this time Garnett just moved, and Brand immediately came out from the inside to help defend Bland's movements were fast enough.
But when he came out, he gave Garnett a little help with his hand, and the referee immediately gave Brand a whistle and pushed him.
Brand is an old guy who has been wronged, it will definitely happen, but Brand didn't expect this thing to come so suddenly, he really just stretched out his hand just now.
He also wanted to explain to the referee, but Henson, a rookie, hurriedly grabbed Brand. This explanation also doesn't work, it's better to let the rest of the team catch it.
Garnett triumphantly walked to the free throw line, but it didn't turn out well, making one of two free throws to score a point, and then the Pelicans came back to continue the offense.
Now the Nets are starting to play Garnett's inside cut, but the Pelicans also have their own means, Li Feng knows deeply that Arenas must give him the ball once he feels the hand.
Arenas playing Alan Anderson would have a big effect, but there was no need to make a big move. He only needs to give Arenas a little bit of cover, and he can do it, Li Feng thought of this, and immediately gestured to Arenas to come over and do cross-cover with him.
Li Feng and Arenas's hands are very skillful, Li Feng dribbles the ball and uses his body as a moment, Arenas receives the ball with his hand, and then dribbles one step into the Nets' three-point line again, at this time Arenas rises from the ground, and Joe Johnson can't defend Arenas so high. Fast pitcher.
Sure enough, Arenas didn't feel good in the second quarter.
The third quarter immediately came to the touch, and the hand began to burn again, and the score was like taking something. It seems to be very casual and gave the Nets a trauma.
The Nets made three consecutive cuts from Garnett, and the fourth time finally made a change, Garnett dribbled a step and began to pass the ball to both sides. Anthony shot from beyond the three-point line, but missed.
The Pelicans here because of Arenas' touch come as long as it's a simple offense from Graj, although the Pelicans only need to play Arenas here. But in the overall there are still a lot of scoring points, Brand, Henson, Rose and Li Feng can all score.
And the Nets' scoring points and defense here are unusually concentrated, mainly focusing on Garnett's cutting and, passing after cutting, and shooting outside three-point shots, so that the pressure on Garnett's body is very large, which means that he alone supports the entire team.
The two teams exchanged knives and soldiers, at the end of the third quarter, Garnett finally couldn't hold on, and when he cut in, his footsteps began to float and the basket was not accurate, at this time Kidd immediately called Garnett back and began to change the bench, and here in the Pelicans, Van Gundy also began to make substitutions, and the strategic goals of both teams in the third quarter were achieved, the Pelicans did not lock in the victory score and pulled away, but the Nets did not recover the decline here, in a single quarter, the Pelicans and the Nets are evenly divided, but overall, The Pelicans still had a huge advantage in the final quarter, and they still had a ten-point advantage.
The two teams came off the bench at the end of the third quarter, but neither side changed the score to show off the difference, and the shape shì was deadlocked here, just waiting for the battle in the final quarter.
Li Feng originally had some ideas, because the current form is still beneficial to his team, as long as the final stage of the game is controlled well and there are no big mistakes, this victory is already in hand.
But Van Gundy walked over, squatted in front of Li Feng, looked at Li Feng and smiled, and said:
"Li Feng, the horse is in the fourth quarter, that is when your time is in front of you You can be a team player, but at this moment when the team's life and death are decided, you must stand up, I want you to do a good job of the last pass of the team to defend our victory, and let those Brooklyn people eat."
Li Feng understood what Van Gundy meant, he reminded himself that he is now the core of the team, and in the final closing stage of the team, he must grasp the team, and when necessary, he needs to shoulder the responsibility of the whole team.
Li Feng nodded, he knew that it was not easy to be the boss of a team, not only to regulate the entire team, but also to know when to send the ball to where, and to take responsibility at the critical juncture of the game. (To be continued......)
