In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies used Randolph to attack a significant increase, and Randolph's own offensive efficiency also increased significantly, and the Grizzlies also adjusted their state at this time.

The Grizzlies adjusted their condition in the final quarter, and the Pelicans began to play their own tactics, Li Feng dribbled to the Grizzlies' half, and the Pelicans immediately played the cover on both sides that surprised everyone just now.

Henson and Millsap came up together and immediately sandwiched Conley in the middle, who was caught in the middle, couldn't move, but Li Feng took the opportunity to be released at once.

But this is the second time the Pelicans have played like this, and Randolph has already been vigilant, and he came up and intercepted in front of Li Feng, at this time there are only 2 fouls on the living body, and there are too many things he can do.

Randolph stuck Li Feng's way, Li Feng and Randolph collided twice, Li Feng was going to fight with Randolph, but he immediately saw Millsap in the vacant position in the high position.

Millsap is a blind spot in the Grizzlies defense, although no one has noticed this person, but Li Feng knows Millsap's ability, and he saw Millsap immediately pass the basketball to Millsap's hands.

Millsap was unguarded from the free-throw line and made an easy mid-range shot.

This shot was very crisp and relatively simple, but it suddenly knocked down the Grizzlies' defensive arrogance, they thought they had done a good enough, but they never thought that the Pelicans would follow them.

Millsap was able to take out the Grizzlies' entire defensive system from a single corner.

"Millsap's shooting is actually very accurate, and I really can't see it in the usual Pelicans games. But look at today, he finally made the Grizzlies a big loss. ”

Bill Wharton spoke loudly on the side, expressing a lot of interest in Millsap's mid-range shot. But Hardaway was unusually depressed, he thought that the Grizzlies had done a good job of defense, but he didn't expect that their defense was missing such an important person.

Also very uncomfortable is Robert Pera, this big fat man feels his heart dripping blood when he sees Millsap shooting, his own team's defensive system, his team's defensive system. In front of this guy, it's as if the criminal court is a fictitious one.

The Grizzlies lost the ball, and Tony Allen immediately went to the baseline to catch the ball and saw Tony Allen get the basketball. Li Feng immediately went up to harass Tony Allen and tried his luck to see if he could break the basketball.

Li Feng's luck was not very good this time, he did not cut off Tony Allen's ball, but Tony Allen was frightened to a certain extent. The little man quickly passed the basketball into the hands of Prince in front of him.

Prince Sr. has a myriad of experiences. It would be fine for him to organize the game, Prince got the basketball and immediately used Conley as a cross cover, and then on a fast break, passed the basketball to Randolph near the basket.

Randolph received a pass from Prince Sr. on the march, and now Randolph is in shape, and immediately after getting the basketball, he jumped up directly past Henson and brushed the basketball towards the rebound.

It was a simple and direct attack, and Randolph has been in good form from the opening point until now. The ball easily hit the Pelicans' basket, and today Randolph looked like he had completely changed his hand. The shots that were unstable in the past can be hit today, which is absolutely bad news for the Pelicans.

The Pelicans and Grizzlies attacked each other, at this time Li Feng could only go to the baseline to catch the ball, Li Feng, who got the basketball, quickly advanced towards the Grizzlies, Li Feng's plan was to see if he had any chance to play the Grizzlies, and secretly score a goal.

But the grizzly bear has been chased by the pelicans all night, and has long developed immunity, Li Feng glanced at it and really didn't find any opportunity to take advantage of, since there was no opportunity, Li Feng had to call his teammates to cover over.

The Pelicans' style of play is the same, Li Feng called a cover, and it was Millsap and Henson who came up to jam Prince on the left and right, and then Li Feng dribbled directly over and hit the big face.

Randolph looked at the guy in front of him, he really didn't know how to defend, the disadvantage of defending this guy by himself was too great, it was absolutely stupid for a player on the inside to pull out a guard one-on-one, you are invincible on the inside, and there is absolutely no chance of winning one-on-one with a small man on the outside.

It's like Allen Iverson is bullish, let him fight O'Neal hard in the three-second zone, O'Neal is also winning, this is not a problem of ball skills, but a problem of misalignment, the wrong position.

Randolph also didn't have any way at all, Li Feng saw Randolph's idea and didn't give Randolph to eat, but pulled the ball to the back, Li Feng made this action, Randolph immediately heard his side, Conley was shouting: "Behind you"

When Randolph looked behind him, the basketball in Li Feng's hand and Randolph's eyes were in the hands of Rose under the basket, and Rose bullied Tony Allen under the basket, isn't it a fun thing.

Rose got the basketball and easily put the basketball into the basket, and after Rose bullied Tony Allen, he immediately ran over and slapped his palm vigorously with Li Feng.

Li Feng looked at Rose and smiled very happily, Rose really made the opponent helpless, he just didn't play when he defended, and he scored easily without defense.

At this time, in the commentary seat, as well as in the coach's seat, Bill Wharton, and Robert Pera all felt a little bit of the smell of Van Gundy's double cover, which was a trap.

Think about it, if two big men go to cover together, there will be several effects, the first effect is that the inside line is instantly empty, and if your two inside lines are not willing to run out, the ball carrier above is space, or there are countless options.

The basket is pulled empty, and that's what happens now, and the players on the wing cut in. If you choose not to pull it out, it gives the ball carrier above a lot of freedom, and the moment you take it out after covering, the two big men must also have their own tactics.

It's a flurry of offensive tricks. By this time, Robert Pera really had a headache, and he had too many things to face, but he was not prepared at all.

The Pelicans played a tactic that the Grizzlies didn't understand at all, and the Grizzlies didn't have such complex and incomprehensible tactics, even when the Grizzlies reached the Finals, their tactics didn't have much difficulty.

Grizzlies' tactics have always been simple. Even Kwame Brown and Yi Jianlian can understand what the Grizzlies are fighting at a glance, but because the Grizzlies have Randolph, they have the absolute strength of Randolph. So they're qualified to make the game simple, and if I play like that, I'll be able to let you play the way I want you, the way I want you. It's a very capable idea.

The Grizzlies ran to the Pelicans halfcourt. It's still that simple, using continuous high cover, the outside players have the opportunity to break through the pass, and the inside has the opportunity Randolph can get stuck in the position, so he resolutely attacks the inside, which is a very simple routine, but the Grizzlies play such a simple tactic clearly and fluently.

Randolph covered Tony Allen and Prince in succession in the high post. Prince was late to Randolph last time and felt like a pick-and-roll. This time, after making a block with Randolph, he still passed the basketball to Randolph's hands.

Randolph also really found the feeling of offense today, Randolph got the basketball and took a probe step forward, Randolph's probe, who is afraid, you Randolph also has no ability to shoot, why should you be afraid of your probe.

Randolph's probe came out of Millsap didn't take Randolph seriously at all, but this time Millsap really blamed Randolph, after Randolph played a probe, he immediately hugged the basketball and rushed towards the Pelicans' basket.

Li Feng was on the side to help defend, he saw clearly, from the first step, Randolph had completely passed Millsap, was completely passed, Millsap couldn't catch up after the back, at this time only Li Feng started, in the face of Randolph Li Feng had to foul when he was a little ruthless, both hands slapped towards Randolph's front, Li Feng was absolutely ruthless enough this time, and directly slapped Randolph there.

With such an obvious foul, the referee immediately gave Li Feng a foul and sent Randolph to the free throw line, where Randolph made one of two free throws.

In the end, the rebound was protected by the Pelicans, and the Pelicans protected the rebounds, Li Feng planned to continue the double-cover tactics in the Grizzlies' half, and the cover is the most basic action of the tactics.

Li Feng dribbled over and called a cover, the cover was still that cover, and Li Feng also attacked according to the routine just now, but Li Feng came around and immediately found that the shape was very unfavorable to him.

Because just now, Robert Pera must have made arrangements, Marc Gasol came out to defend himself, and Randolph sat on the inside, so it was more difficult for Li Feng, and he had to rely on the blue room technique, or shooting outside the face to solve the Grizzlies' defense, at this time Li Feng's first thought was shooting.

Because Marc Gasol had already left the shooting space to himself, Li Feng dribbled back and suddenly made a jump shot at the top of the arc, which would have been a good opportunity, but the fuck is that Li Feng still missed the shot at such a good opportunity.

If you don't shoot, you can't blame anyone, you don't shoot at a good chance, who can blame you? The basketball jumped out, and Randolph snatched the basketball in his hands with great beastliness under the basket.

The Grizzlies re-attacked, the Grizzlies' offense was not responsible, they relied on Randolph's absolute strength in the center position, and after a few moves, the Grizzlies still passed the basketball to Randolph's point.

Randolph got the basketball in a position of about 45 degrees, and Randolph, who got the basketball, shook it behind Millsap, or used the probe, the last time Millsap missed a probe by Randolph, this time he immediately moved with Randolph.

But Millsap moved out like this, but he still suffered a loss from Randolph, who was originally very honest, but today he suddenly played a 45-degree wipe shot, Millsap was shaken out, and he didn't defend the ball at all, so that Randolph could shoot easily.

If Randolph feels really good, then today Randolph is almost invincible at New Orleans Arena.

Van Gundy saw this and yelled at Millsap:

"Millsap don't be polite to him. You're a defender, you're welcome."

Van Gundy stood on the sideline yelling and waving his fists over and over again, and his suit was rattled by the hunt he was carrying.

Knowing his manager's determination, Millsap nodded and ran towards the other side of the pitch.

I saw Millsap nodding. Van Gundy finally felt more relieved, he sat in his position and watched the court, and now his team is watching the play of two points, Li Feng's offense and organization, Millsap's defense, these two points are caught, and the Pelicans will win the game on the contrary. The Pelicans will lose miserably.

The Pelicans ran over quickly, they were already playing a high double screen, and Li Feng saw that Marc Gasol didn't shoot this time. The facts just now have proved that he feels very bad today, and shooting is definitely not a good choice, Li Feng drilled into the paint area of the Grizzlies, and Randolph and Marc Gasol immediately pinched back and forth towards him.

Li Feng was caught in front and back, and he could only turn around and pass the basketball to Millsap's hands. Millsap doesn't have a particularly big offensive ability though. But he was definitely the lubricant of the offense, and Millsap, who got the basketball, received the ball and threw it violently, throwing the basketball directly into the hands of Arenas on the baseline.

At this time, Arenas faced Prince, and he didn't care about the veteran's desire to play, and he received a basketball and shot three points directly.

Prince really couldn't defend the little man Arenas, and Arenas hit the basketball with ease.

Millsap assisted Arenas, and when it came to the Pelicans' half, the Grizzlies still wanted to play high-post back-to-back covers. Randolph received the basketball and wanted to easily pass Millsap behind him, but at this time Millsap made a very characteristic defense. Sticking Randolph to death with his body is sticking Randolph to death, Randolph has no room to move, and his speed can't get up.

Randolph had no choice but to pass the ball, and the Grizzlies' outside players were also unstable at this time, and they gave the Pelicans a rebound in the backcourt.

The Pelicans controlled the rebound, and then Li Feng finally found a more mature offensive escape, and he and Millsap Henson as covers, and once they encountered difficulties, they immediately passed the basketball to Millsap, and let Millsap deal with it again and send the basketball to other corners where it was needed.

The Pelicans adjusted their tactics on the court, enriching the Pelicans' own unique tactics, and the Pelicans' offense gradually became smooth, but when the Grizzlies' tactics were familiar to the Pelicans, the Grizzlies' offense became more and more difficult.

Li Feng and the Pelicans blocked the final counterattack launched by Randolph and the Grizzlies in the final quarter, although Randolph was ferocious, but his team was too flawed, and the Pelicans were constantly taking advantage of the Grizzlies' loopholes to carry out the tactics.

The Pelicans gradually stabilized the situation, extinguishing the fire of the Grizzlies' final comeback, and in the final 30 seconds of the game, the Pelicans still led the Grizzlies by six points, and the Grizzlies gambled on a three-point attack on Prince.

The Pelicans outlawed their old rival at the New Orleans arena, and some Grizzlies fans who came to New Orleans from Memphis exited the court in frustration amid the cheers of the home fans.

But at this time, Hardaway in the commentary seat was still extremely regretful, and he said in the commentary seat:

"Today the Grizzlies have failed again, the Grizzlies have not beaten the Pelicans recently, this is really an irony, is it that the Pelicans have become too strong recently, or our Grizzlies are getting weaker, poor Randolph, poor Grizzlies, we lost."

Hardaway sighed in the commentary, and Bill Wharton comforted Hardaway and said: "

You're right, old man, the Pelicans have been improving at a rapid pace lately, almost in a game, the Pelicans are moving forward, look at their bench lineup now, look at their bench depth, and Van Gundy's tactical changes, how much richer they are than before, the Pelicans' progress can be clearly seen. ”

"Then let's take a look at the Grizzlies, what they have done this season, they haven't done anything in the introduction of personnel, the Grizzlies don't have a qualified handrail to assist Randolph, Prince is too old, if it's a point guard or an interior player, his interior experience will be a wealth for the Grizzlies, but he's a swing man, this is a position that needs the most momentum and fighting power, and Prince obviously can't help Randolph in this position."

'Conley is good, but he can only be the team's number three. That's where his ability comes in, Randolph still needs another man, and the Grizzlies' lineup is still shaky. Marc Gasol is invisible again today. ”

Bill Wharton was talking at length, but at this time the fans began to leave, and Li Feng also picked up a towel from the side of the court and draped it on his body, and then prepared to walk into the players' tunnel.

Li Feng was walking towards the front, and at this time, an ESPN reporter came up from the side, and the reporter walked in front of Li Feng with the microphone held high:

"Mr. Li Feng, today you defeated your old club, the Grizzly Bears. What are your thoughts on this. ”

Li Feng won today, looked at the reporter with a smile and said:

"I'm happy, yes. I'm very happy about it, it's what I want to do to beat the Grizzlies and enjoy the win, and by the way, silence some of the media that are unhappy with us. I'm happy to do so. ”

"Then Li Feng. Do you think the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies in that way, or more simply, you think your team did better there than the other team. ”

Li Feng didn't care about talking about this topic, and now even if Li Feng didn't say it, Li Feng knew that Randolph would definitely complain about this and that at the press conference, so Li Feng simply said:

"We were able to beat the Grizzlies mainly on the bench, and our bench players did a lot better than the Grizzlies' bench players, and if we didn't have the bench players, we had a nine-point lead. We don't have the capital to make the next changes, and the other point is our teamwork. For example, Millsap's successive wonderful passes today, as well as Arenas's steady scoring at key moments, were the focus of our victory over the Grizzlies. ”

After Li Feng finished answering the question, he turned around and walked into the players' tunnel.

Li Feng walked into the locker room here, but the saliva around the game did not end.

The Grizzlies were eliminated because of the loss, and Randolph was still unconvinced after the game, dropping his towel on the floor on the court and then walking into the tunnel as well.

Li Feng changed his clothes in the locker room, and then went to the press conference with Van Gundy, Li Feng actually didn't want to attend the press conference, and he was already very annoyed by the war with the news media and guys from other teams.

Today is still a press conference with the Grizzly Bears, this kind of grudge battle, Li Feng really doesn't want to go to the press conference, the victory or defeat of the game is the victory or defeat, and after adding some other things, it will make people feel very unhappy.

After following Van Gundy to the press conference hall of the New Orleans Arena, he saw that Robert Pera and Randolph had been waiting there for a long time, and the two men looked back at Li Feng and Van Gundy's faces were not very good.

After all, the Grizzlies lost today and waited to go fishing, and their hearts must be extremely unhappy.

Li Feng sat on the far left, and then the press officer at the New Orleans Arena began to signal that he could ask questions.

Today's game is also a focus battle in the league, so the reporters are very enthusiastic to ask questions, and the press officer here just waved his hand to signal everyone to ask questions, and countless arms were immediately raised below.

The press officer casually clicked, and immediately a young reporter stood up.

"Mr. Robert Pera, Mr. Randolph, the Grizzlies lost the game today, where do you think we lost?"

This question was asked exactly where Robert Pera was sore spot, and the guy hesitated twice before he began to speak:

'Today we lost, and we lost very completely, and it felt like a kid was doing something wrong, we didn't do as well as the other side in a lot of ways, they did more for us, so we lost.'

Robert Pera didn't say the specific original meaning, he was simply prevaricating, in fact, the Grizzlies have done a lot of work, they have been studying the Pelicans for a long time, and the goal is to beat the Pelicans, but at the start of today's game, they still haven't been able to do it.

Now this result, Coach Robert Pera should know very well in his heart that this is not his own sin, in the structure of the team, he and the Pelicans are too different, and the Pelicans' bench lineup or bench depth is incomparable to their own team, and it is these that determine the trend of this game.

So Robert Pera simply passed the buck and forgot it, Robert Pera prevaricated here, but Randolph had something to say.

He said in front of the microphone:

"Today we lost, but I wasn't convinced, really, I wasn't convinced, we just lacked something, we lacked some luck, and if we had those things, I believe the winner today would not have been the Pelicans."

Randolph said something less, but this gave reporters room to imagine what Randolph said less.

Immediately a reporter asked a question below:

"Randolph, what do you think the Grizzlies are missing?"

For this problem, Randolph, I can't say that I lack good teammates, so Randolph himself offended his teammates, so Randolph pushed over this problem, which was also a Tai Chi fight.

Seeing that there was nothing to be said about this from Randolph, the journalists immediately turned their guns on the Pelican.

"Mr. Van Gundy, you defeated the Grizzlies today, do you have a special feeling of joy in your heart now?"

Van Gundy looked at this guy, this guy he was familiar with, he was a reporter on the Pelicans' side, this guy asked this kind of question purely to make the Memphis ugly.

Sure enough, when this guy asked this question, there was an immediate chorus of boos in the press room, all from the Memphis media.

"Huh."

Van Gundy smiled lightly, then said:

"It's just a game for the Pelicans and me, and it's nice to win, but it's just a game, there's nothing special for the Pelicans, no matter what."

Naturally, the reporters didn't believe Van Gundy's words, and the taste of defeating the enemy was definitely more refreshing than beating other teams.

The reporters immediately pointed the finger at Li Feng:

"Mr. Li Feng, today you defeated the Grizzlies and also defeated you Randolph, do you have any thoughts?"

Li Feng and Van Gundy speak in unison, even more concisely than Van Gundy's answer:

"Hehe, I don't feel anything."

Li Feng just said a word, and then didn't say anything, the reporters thought that there would be a war of words between Mars and the earth today, but nothing happened, and the players of both teams didn't say anything, and it could even be said that they didn't want to say anything.

The press conference ended uneventfully, and the Pelicans were waiting for the Western Conference Finals. (To be continued......)
