The Pelicans lost, and that's not the key, the key is that Knight was injured and missed a month, which hit the Pelicans a lot, and Van Gundy was forced to let Roten play point guard, and Roten could play two guards, but the depth of the team's roster was hit. ＠

The Pelicans, who were not used to it, lost four games in a row, falling from first in the league and first in the West to third in the West.

As a result, the Pelicans suffered another heavy blow, Li Feng injured his wrist in the game, and although he finally won the game, Li Feng also missed the next two games, and as a result, the Pelicans suffered two consecutive defeats and fell to the fifth place in the West.

Fortunately, Li Feng was only injured twice, otherwise the Pelicans would have been really finished.

After a two-game losing streak, the Pelicans faced a tough rival, Danny Granger's old club, the Indiana Pacers.

Although Paul George was also reimbursed this year, this year's Pacers still play the role of a powerhouse in the East and firmly occupy the third place in the East.

The game was played at the Pacers' home arena, Consec Arena.

Although his wrist was still sore, it did not affect the jump ball, and Li Feng simply picked the ball to Luo Teng.

This time it was Turner who played on the Pelicans, after all, Granger had played too much time in the first few games.

After the opening, Li Feng decisively asked for the ball, instead of going up to block and dismantle with Luo Teng, he reached out to ask for the ball on the inside, making it clear that he wanted to single David West to boost the team's morale.

Luo Teng tossed the ball up and passed it to Li Feng, who waved his hand and motioned for his teammates to pull away, allowing Li Feng to gain space for singles.

Hibbert wanted to wrap up Li Feng, but this time the first Pau Gasol was erratic in the high position, which made him hesitate a little, and seeing this, Vogel was furious, and couldn't help but shout:

"Damn bastard, go up to the bag, the bag, the bag! Let him pass the ball. He passes the ball and they lose......"

As soon as Vogel reminded him, Hibbert also figured this out, and he hurriedly went up to clamp it from behind, but Li Feng would not wait for him, he had already launched an attack.

After getting the ball, Li Feng slammed backwards, David West felt as if he had been hit by a bison, and a stuffy pain in his chest made him want to retreat and escape. Fortunately, he was also experienced in a hundred battles, gritting his teeth and taking out the strength to withstand Li Feng's impact.

After leaning back, Li Feng slapped the ball vigorously and continued to hit it violently backwards, turning abruptly after four or five consecutive blows. One step like a big windmill turning, with lightning speed around the other side of David West, raised his hand to jump dunk.

At this time, Hibbert's bag finally arrived, Li Feng glanced back with a worried expression, biting his lip and knees shrunk, and his body weight fell to jump, Hibbert subconsciously jumped up, waving his hand to block Li Feng's ball, but after jumping, he appeared, there was nothing in front of him!

Fake a shot. Li Feng still turned around, his pivot foot had not moved before, and now he turned back, naturally there was no violation.

David West was also deceived by Li Feng's turn. Although he didn't jump, his footsteps were already messed up, Li Feng turned around and suddenly slammed his shoulders forward, and now David West couldn't stand it, and was knocked to the ground with a scream. Li Feng is like a beast that has escaped the gate, jumping up and buckling violently!

Li Feng's slam dunk after flying Hibbert into David West was really morale-boosting. The Pelicans are now in unison, and media speculation about the Pelicans' future has further fueled them, and now they are not just mourning or angry.

So, the walkers were miserable.

After following Li Feng, Roten stole George Hill's pass and assisted Turner to fire first, this side Solomon Hill fired back, and the Pelicans immediately attacked Turner, Turner was really good, broke through and rushed into the penalty area again with a small lever, almost riding Hibbert to score two points.

Not to be outdone, Hibbert covered George Hill with a vengeful rage, who rushed into the basket to attract the bag and passed to Hibbert, after getting the ball, Hibbert strode into the basket and forced up a dunk, and then the Pacers began to fight back, Solomon Hill snatched the rebound after Pau Gasol's missed shot, and passed to David West, who hit a mid-range shot in the high post, and the two sides quickly tied it at 6-6.

The Pelicans began to strengthen their defense, Rotten personally singled George Hill, turned and hit a shot, and then planned an aerial relay to assist Pau Gasol to attack, and then Rotten became more and more courageous, presiding over several attacks behind the Pelicans, and played a wave of 12-2 attacks in a row. The tide forced the Pacers to call a timeout.

George Hill may not have returned from injury and was not in good shape, and Rotten taught him a vivid lesson with breakthrough points again and again, and the small-scale offense hosted by the point guard was not only a pick-and-roll, but also a point-and-shoot shot.

After the timeout, the Pacers stepped up their interior offense, and Vogel ordered Hibbert and David West to complete the connection in the restricted area, and the two took turns scoring inside to open up the game. But then, Thornton, who came off the bench, began to threaten, he first hit a three-pointer through the net, Rotten scored an assist, and George Hill was colorless, and the Pelicans scored seven points in a row to continue to extend the lead, leading 28-14.

There is no doubt that the quarter game was completely under the control of the Pelicans, or the control of Rotten, and in the last 3o seconds, Thornton's eyes were blood-red, and a pull-up jump shot and another three-point line shot were fired to score five points in succession to help the team lead 33-19.

Thornton's arrogance made the Pacers fans pale, and Li Feng finally got honest for a while, but the two freaks of Luo Teng and Thornton began to be powerful again.

Li Feng tried to make a few attacks in the first quarter, but both hooks and shots were missed. The injury to his wrist affected him so much that his soft touch was completely lost, and in the second quarter, Van Gundy replaced him and sent Henson and Kelly to play in the box.

Kelly's template for the original draft was David West, and now that the copycat David West has met the real David West, the gap in internal strength is suddenly apparent.

Seeing Li Feng go off the field, Donald Sloan, who replaced George Hill, immediately passed the ball to David West in the penalty area.

After getting the ball, David West tested Kelly's strength backwards, and Roten hurriedly commanded Granger:

"Go to the defense, man, go to the defense!"

Before his words fell, David West made a strong attack, and he 'banged' three times in a row. Kelly couldn't help but take a step back, and David West seized the opportunity to turn quickly, cut under the basket and jumped up to make a hook layup.

If you dare to play this kind of ball in front of Li Feng, it will definitely be the end of the hat, but it is accurate to deal with Kelly.

After the start of the second quarter, the Pacers used the inside advantage to score 4 points in a row to close the gap to 1o at 23-33, seeing this, Thornton smiled coldly, and in the face of Copeland's defense, he sneered:

"Boy. I heard you're a marksman? Is the three-point point accurate? ”

Roten waved for Thornton to come up and cover him, but Thornton had a convulsion, and he insisted on reaching for the ball to single Copeland.

Seeing Thornton in a singles pose, Copeland's face showed a hint of nervousness, and he hurriedly spread his feet and prepared to retreat sideways to defend: he was too slow, his eyebrows raised, and his left foot stepped forward like lightning, Copeland immediately retreated, seeing this, Thornton smiled hideously but pulled back the left leg that had taken it. grabbed the ball and shot it simply, and when it landed, the ball was still flying in the air, and he followed the example of Li Feng with his right hand and raised his arm high - and then, the ball fell into the hoop!

Thornton's three-point shot was arrogant enough. The Pelicans immediately set off another wave of 8-2 small highs. tide, only Scola made Henson a foul and made two free throws, giving the Pacers a temporary stabilisation.

Vogel had to call another timeout as George Hill came back on. During the time he had been sitting on the bench, Vogel had been teaching him by word and deed, teaching him how to fight Roten. This time again, George Hill's form is much better.

After the opening game, Solomon Hill hit the basket and was blocked by Henson, George Hill chased after him to steal the ball and Kidd hit it.

Just as the Pacers know that the core of the Pelicans is Li Feng, the Pelicans also know that the Pacers' key point at this time is George Hill, and Rotten is now hitting George Hill at any cost, and he wants to break George Hill to open the situation and let the Pacers get out of the playoffs completely.

Immediately after, Luo Teng held the ball and singled out the game with a mid-range shot to get two points, and on this, the battle between the two point guards officially kicked off, George Hill borrowed Hibbert's cover from Henson and Luo Teng directly into the restricted area to pick up the basket and hit the basket, and then immediately, Luo Teng came to a straight Huang Long, relying on his personal ability to rush to the basket and throw a shot.

Two point guards, one ball and one ball, although both teams are trying their best to defend, but the ability of superstars at this moment is no longer something they can stop, and the confrontation between point guards has officially entered the white heat.

Halfway through the quarter, the Pacers were united, and they attacked with George Hill's strong organization, David West first made a jumper, Hibbert exploded and added points, and the Pacers hit an 11-4 attack wave in more than 3 minutes, and the difference between the two teams was narrowed to 8 points, and finally returned to single digits.

Van Gundy saw that things were not good, so he asked for a timeout, and deployed Turner's offensive machine qì on the court, Turner also lived up to the trust of the old Fan, and even scored 5 points after playing, Rotten's long-range heavy artillery also began to be frequent, Henson grabbed an offensive rebound and threw it to him and scored three points directly, hit!

Seeing this, the walker was anxious, George Hill pushed forward quickly with a tense face, and Roten shouted:

"Surrender, George, anyway, you don't have Paul, go home and be finished?"

"I'll play your mother!"

George Hill roared and made a quick stop jump shot, although Luo Teng's mouth was crooked, but he had been paying full attention to George Hill's movements, and felt that when the latter was jumping, he jumped up first to block his shot, and slapped the cap away.

Turner grabbed the ball and rushed forward, CJ Myers followed behind to defend, Turner's unbridled attack had already made the roots of his teeth itch, and seeing that Turner wanted to end the game with a dunk on this fast break, he pushed out from behind with a ruthless heart.

Sensing Myers's bad intentions with his peripheral vision, Turner casually threw the ball into the air and twisted his waist to the outside of the court, and Miles was in the air at this time, jumping in the air with nowhere to borrow strength, so it was dangerous, and he hit the floor directly with his shoulder, howling and slumping to the ground.

Originally, after seeing Myers make a malicious foul move, Li Feng and other bench players stood up all of a sudden, and after Turner avoided it and Myers fell to the ground unlucky, they suddenly burst into laughter, a group of people high-fived each other, Li Feng laughed and said:

"Turner deserves to be to the Pacers, and CJ Myers deserves to be trained by the Jazz!"

The Pacers players were furious, Hibbert, George Hill and others surrounded Turner with a surge of blood, and Thornton and others did not hesitate. Throwing his arms to meet him, he was murderous!

CJ Myers was absolutely ruthless at that moment, he was going to get Turner off, but he didn't hurt people but hurt himself, his shoulder hit the floor hard and then his back fell up, his right shoulder was directly swollen, and his back twitched and he didn't dare to move.

Turner's face was full of happiness, and he didn't care about the Pacers players who were surging around, and he waved vigorously to the fans: he just threw the ball into the hoop with his hand, plus Myers's background. This goal could be in the top 10 of the playoffs.

Thornton and the others rushed up with a roar for the first time, Henson had a big waist and a round waist, and he stood in the crowd with his terrorist-like appearance, and the Pacers players suddenly hesitated, and for the sake of career and life safety, some people's determination to fight was shaken.

As soon as the players hesitated, the three referees immediately rushed up, they pushed the two groups away, and Vogel quickly called a timeout. The Pacers' team doctor rushed onto the court in three steps and two steps to re-encircle Miles in the middle.

Thornton and the others walked off the court scolding, seemingly regretting not being able to beat them up more than the Pacers players, and Van Gundy was extremely helpless about these guys' impulsiveness. Slapped the tactical board and shouted:

"You calm me, we're going to play the semifinals soon, if anyone drops the chain for me, I'll let him sit on the bench next season!"

Myers' injuries are hard-working. Although it is not very strict and has little impact on the body in the future, it is extremely uncomfortable now. Ironclad will not be able to continue playing, so Starkey has a chance to play again, and the Pelicans have also begun to deploy troops, Rotten is rested, Thornton is on top, and Turner is playing point guard.

Facing Turner, who was more direct than Rotten, George Hill, who was suppressed by Rotten in various ways, finally had a chance to raise his eyebrows, he hit Turner's lower abdomen with a strong and powerful buttocks, and slowly pushed in, Thornton, who came on as a substitute for Granger, saw that things were not good and hurried up to make up for the defense.

George Hill was waiting for such an opportunity, and immediately hit the ball and passed the ball to Starkey, who had nothing to show in attack, he was mainly a breakthrough player and an attacker, and to let him finish the attack, it was not his forte.

Starkey is very good on the dribble, known as having fantastic ball control skills, and as a black man, he has great speed and explosive power, but for some reason, once he hits, he is prone to mistakes, and often low-level mistakes.

But he's well suited to the fast break and relies on his strong body to squeeze in outside the box to make a difference.

This time George Hill advanced quickly, Starkey followed the light, at first with Thornton against him did not have an advantage, but when the opponent went to help defend George Hill and let go of him, Starkey immediately rushed to the penalty area, received George Hill's pass and re-dunked.

Kelly had no way to deal with this situation, and Li Feng shook his head as he looked at the bench.

After holding the ball, Turner roared and ran forward with the ball, George Hill went up to squeeze him and forced him to reduce, but Turner was extremely strong with the ball, and a big change of direction stepped past George Hill.

The Pacers' defense is very good, in the NBA, it is not that a team has a good defense that this team has several individual defensive giants, except for the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex like Li Feng, of course.

The Pacers' defense comes from the whole team, and the whole team of five people is like a machine with a clear division of labor, and when this defensive machine starts to work, the opponent will have to face not one person but a team.

Compared to George Hill, in defense, Starkey is much tougher, and he also has good reflexes and experience to predict the opponent's next move, which also makes him a constant threat to the opponent's passing line, for example, when Turner changes direction, he knows the opponent's intentions, a stride away, Turner broke through George Hill, and then crashed into Starkey's arms.

Turner was also quick to react and flicked the ball to Thornton.

Thornton is physically strong, but his technical characteristics are similar to those of Solomon Hill, he is not a good ball-handling attacker, but he has considerable range and shooting ability, and can use good physical elements to get to the basket.

His back-to-back shooting ability is average, and the main score still comes from outside jump shots, of course, relying on his strong body, he also has enough ability to complete singles at the bottom of the basket, in addition, his bounce is very strong, and flying dunks are not a problem, otherwise he would not have the nickname "The Next James".

After getting the ball, Thornton thought about it, and this time he wasted the advantage of Turner's fast break, Starkey and George Hill switched defenses again, and the two played their own roles, the latter defending Turner, and the former pestering Thornton.

Thornton bent over and jogged forward, deciding that he would take charge of the attack himself.

But Starkey's defensive quality was really not covered, and he kept reaching out to interfere with Thornton, and finally snatched the ball while he was panicking.

George Hill immediately turned around and attacked quickly, after Starkey's pass passed, only Turner approached him, the two were entangled and entered the penalty area, George Hill was like a small tank, entered the penalty area and immediately put away the ball and hit the hoop, Turner reached out and pulled him, how do you know that George Hill is ruthless now, and finally has a chance to take revenge, how can he let go of this opportunity? Straight to Turner for the layup.

2+1。

George Hill hit a free throw, the Pacers began to chase points, David West immediately hit Kelly with his back under the basket, and both inside lines belong to the soft girl inside, but in comparison, Kelly is a complete lady, and David West is a man.

David West tricked Kelly with a feint and hit a hook to the basket.

7-o, this wave of small high. The tide made the atmosphere of the scene immediately become hot, and Li Feng couldn't sit still, so he shouted to Van Gundy:

"Let me teach them a lesson, or it's too late!"

Van Gundy's face was relaxed and he smiled:

"Don't worry, with your chance, we still have a double-digit advantage, don't we?"

Li Feng looked at the scarlet score and could only sit down stupidly, but the Pelicans attacked again but still didn't succeed, Henson shot out of the basket and was grabbed by George Hill for the rebound.

After getting the ball, George Hill jogged all the way, and when he got to the front, he did not hesitate to crush Turner, attract Thornton to wrap and then distribute the ball to Solomon Hill.

Thornton is really known for his defensiveness, especially his ability to defend individually.

Thornton's strong upper body strength and good follow-up ensure that Thornton can eat all at the second and third positions, and his quality defensive awareness makes him one of the best defenders at the forward position, of course, sometimes his overly frizzy and rude personality also makes him often appear too savage when defending, but this is normal, and what the Pelicans are building now is a violent team.

Solomon Hill also made a mistake after getting the ball, that is, he didn't shoot immediately, Thornton returned to the defense, and Solomon Hill died, whether it was a breakthrough or a back hit, Hill didn't have a chance to shoot.

But compared to the previous Thornton, Solomon Hill has an advantage, that is, he has a stronger teammate to work with.

After Thornton left, George Hill immediately knocked away Turner and rushed inside, Solomon Hill passed to George Hill, who did not hesitate to pass the ball out of the three-point line after getting the ball, and Starkey, who was ambushed outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, got the ball and jumped out.

1o-o, this high. The tide was high enough, and the fans at the Consec Arena were like rabbits on fire, jumping and screaming as if they hadn't narrowed the score to single digits, but had already won the game.

Van Gundy still didn't call a timeout, he stood up and gestured to the players on the field, clenched his fists and pushed forward, shouting:

"Tactic No. 4, Attack!"

After receiving instructions from Van Gundy, Turner didn't say a word, and ran forward as fast as he could, which was really thunderous and lightning, and saw him dribble to the front court in a few steps, George Hill chased after the wolf, and he was not suitable for defending this kind of point guard.

Thornton blocked, Turner didn't stop all the way, and the galloping horse took advantage of Thornton's space to shake off George Hill and rushed directly into the free throw area, no way, Solomon Hill could only follow him to rush in, at this time it was too late to change the defense, the Pelicans' fast break is a major attraction in the league.
