There seems to be an undercurrent surging underneath the game, and this undercurrent is momentum, and the team that can take advantage of the momentum is like a sailor who can take advantage of the direction of the wind, and can do more with less.

Li Feng took over the basketball, dribbling the ball while thinking, what is his best choice at this time? Many people have their brains idle when they play, running around with instinct or habit, or doing it according to the coach's intentions, in fact, playing basketball, like anything else, also requires brains, and whoever uses more brains will be much easier to do.

Wisdom can simplify the problem, but it is also necessary to be tough when necessary.

Li Feng dribbled the ball while making a gesture with Ronnie Brewer, after seeing this gesture, Ronnie Brewer was obviously stunned, James Johnson is also an old player on the court, after seeing Li Feng gesture towards Ronnie Brewer, Ronnie Brewer was stunned, and immediately guessed that Ronnie Brewer and Li Feng must have some special cooperation, so he stared at Li Feng more carefully.

After Li Feng made a gesture, the Pelicans did not have the double interior line of inner attacking power, and did not squeeze the inside line when standing, but stood in the double horn position, and put on the iconic Princeton tactical opening, at this time Li Feng quickly handed the ball to Ronnie Brewer, and he himself made a very fast cross cover around the axis of Henson along the left wing.

This is a classic Princeton-style tactical coordination, at this time, seeing the double high post cooperation and fast cross cover, James Johnson immediately realized what Li Feng was going to do?

James Johnson spread his legs and shouted while mustering up all his strength to chase Li Feng:

"Watch the back door, the back door."

At this time, James Johnson had completely seen that the Pelicans were going to use the tactics of opening the back door to sneak up on the Grizzlies' interior, James Johnson shouted like this, and Ed Davis, who followed Brand to the upper line, also found out. Behind him was a large area of red and white virgin land.

Ed Davis and James Johnson quickly turned and ran backwards, but at this time an iron law on the court came into play, people are never as fast as the ball, Ronnie Brewer's ball has been passed, super long distance and almost straight line, straight to the upper left of the frame.

At this time, James Johnson had already run to Li Feng's side first, and he hoped to cling to Li Feng tightly to prevent him from jumping, but at the moment when the two sides touched their bodies, James Johnson suddenly felt a force surging from his side, like a wave under his feet.

He hugged Li Feng's body like a boat on the waves. He rolled backwards uncontrollably, and Li Feng's body was like a shark jumping out of the water, with the blood and huge power of the depths of the ocean, and suddenly flew into the air, picking up the basketball that flew over.

Ed Davis, who ran back, also arrived, and he also jumped, but his injured leg made him unable to reach the height he wanted to reach at all, and this guy could only look at Li Feng as if he was a monster. Grabbing the basketball in the air, he slammed it into the Grizzly Bear's basket.

"Boom."

The grizzly bear's basket trembled, as if it was cold shivering, and Li Feng smashed the grizzly bear basket with the basket. It caused a loud noise, and a perfect aerial bombardment effect.

As soon as Ed Davis reversed the momentum of the two sides, Li Feng turned around and gave the grizzly bear a hard stick, sucking the grizzly bear's enthusiasm that had just emerged. This kind of playing style of giving a stick as soon as it emerges hurts the morale of the opponent even more than the way of playing that has been suppressing others.

The grizzly bear's breath was as if it had just been inhaled. was squeezed out, and fell into a breathless situation, at this time if the grizzly bear wants to continue to breathe, it must continue to score strongly, only scoring this way, and it is still a very visual effect of the score to save the decline.

Of course, Robert Pera is aware of this situation, but this is definitely not the situation he wants to see, what Robert Pera wants to see is that the team is like an army under his own control, or a machine to move forward step by step, and there is still an advantage in momentum in regaining points after dinner.

After seeing Li Feng's air relay, Robert Pera surprisingly did not yell and scold his teammates, but crossed his arms, hugged his shoulders, and looked at the court in silence.

Robert Pera is a person who controls the team with his own will, not the kind of person who manages the team according to the character of the players, so some players who are destined to be too strong and too strong have no way to play in Robert Pera's system.

Robert Pera is not in a hurry to fight back, but it doesn't mean that his players on the ball are not in a hurry to fight back, even if James Johnson misses, there is not much emotional fluctuation, but Mike Miller, as the main scorer of the bench lineup, is on fire.

In the current situation, if he doesn't do anything at all, how will people look at him, then he is not completely useless, so when he arrived at the Pelicans' half, he took the ball passed to him by James Johnson, which was meant to be just a transition, and immediately paused.

This pause immediately made James Johnson's eyelids jump, James Johnson, who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, began to worry about his little teammate, Robert Pera uses people, it is definitely not how capable you are, but whether you are obedient or not, if you are disobedient, even if you have the ability, he will never use you, unless you are a player like Iverson or Kobe, and Mike Miller You are obviously not in this range.

As soon as James Johnson's worries crept into his mind, he saw that Mike Miller seemed to be stepping on a pulley, kicking violently, and suddenly rushed past Ronnie Brewer and directly inserted into the Pelicans' interior line.

Seeing this scene, James Johnson was praying, hoping that this guy would succeed?

It was so easy to deal with Ronnie Brewer, who passed Ronnie Brewer in an instant and went straight to the Pelicans' interior to kill him.

In any case, Mike Miller has some domineering posture at this moment. Almost with the strength of one person, he stabbed the Pelican's position with a sword, the sword edge is indeed sharp, but the sharp sword edge is also afraid of the prey that has nowhere to start, Mike Miller's side broke through, and Brand, who had already had some kind of agreement with Li Feng, dragged his slow steps that could not be compared with Mike Miller at all, and made a slight jump towards the middle line.

All of a sudden, he was blocked in Mike Miller's inevitable path, and when Mike Miller, who had already thought that he was about to succeed in assassination, saw that it was this guy who jumped over, he felt a fire rising in his chest, and it was this guy again, and this guy came to spoil my good deeds. At that time, Mike Miller hated to tear Brand to pieces, so there was a little more spirit and a little less reason in his chest.

There was no intention to evade it at all, and he hit Brand on the chest, and this time Brand was hit hard enough, and he sat on the ground directly, and at this time, the referee blew a whistle and fouled again.

Now Robert Pera blew up, and his rampage was not because of the referee, but because of Mike Miller's continuous violation of his own style of play. To the outrage of Robert Pera, Brand went to the free-throw line, and Robert Pera replaced Mike Miller.

The guy had two fouls at the start of the game and now he had to be locked up. Otherwise, it would add a lot of trouble to the rest of the game, and Mike Miller walked off the court in frustration.

He knew very well that the stubborn old man would definitely not let him go. Sure enough, when Mike Miller walked to the side of the chair, Robert Pera put his hands in his trouser pockets and stretched his head over and asked, Mike Miller:

"What are you going to do. Young man, tell me what are you going to do? ”

"Defeat an opponent by yourself and ignore your teammates, that's what you think, that's how you do it, boy, if that's the case, why don't you go and play high school games, I don't know what high school games are like in Italy, but high school students in the United States have a similar mentality to you, how about it, do you think you're a high school student?"

In the face of Robert Pera's sneering, Mike Miller had no power to fight back at all, his cheeks were flushed, but he couldn't say a word, Robert Pera saw that this was almost the same, waved his hand, and asked Mike Miller to sit back.

Li Feng watched from behind that Brand really got Mike Miller down, and he began to laugh in his heart, there are more than 500 people in this alliance, but there are too many talented guys who have not been noticed.

Li Feng was proud here, but Brand, who had hit two free throws, came over at this time and said:

"How? I have fulfilled my promise, Li Feng, shouldn't you also fulfill your promise? ”

Hearing Brand say this, how could Li Feng refuse? Immediately said loudly:

"Of course it should, I'll invite everyone to dinner tonight."

Li Feng said it loudly, and several players on the edge of the free throw line heard it, and the guys who got the good news immediately cheered, and the Pelicans were cheering, but now the Grizzlies are really in trouble.

As we all know, the Grizzlies rely on five people to play, and now the only powerful outside scorer in the bench lineup has two fouls on his back, and this time the energy of the Grizzlies' bench lineup is weaker, and this period of time is even more sad for the Grizzlies.

After Mike Miller left the court, from the first quarter to the second quarter of this period of bench playing time, the entire Grizzlies were relying on the support of Ed Davis alone to support the team, the guy Ed Davis is a very good player, but he is old after all, he can occasionally jump out to support the team for a period of time but absolutely not, like a young and strong main force, from beginning to end to support the team.

On the other hand, the Pelicans' bench players, with the multiple firepower support of Li Feng, Oladipo, and Kaloon Butler, after a while, the Grizzlies couldn't hold on again, and began to fall into passivity and weakness, when the game reached the third minute and 45 seconds of the second quarter, it was Robert Pera who couldn't stand it first.

At this time, the score has been pulled to 26-16, and the Grizzlies are falling behind more and more, and there is no sign of catching up at all. pulled the form back, so at this time he quickly changed to the main force, and sent the Grizzlies five Tigers Conley, Tony Allen, Prince, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. all on the court, and at this time Van Gundy did not need to politely see Robert Pera to make a substitution.

He will also be his main player, Rose, Arenas. Haircuts, Millsap, and Al Jefferson were replaced, and after the two sides came on the court, they began to play on the basis of the Pelicans off the bench, and the Pelicans still played exceptionally well, relying on the excellent performance of Millsap and Li Feng, who were stunned to withstand wave after wave of Grizzlies offense, and then counterattacked step by step.

The Pelicans and Grizzlies are somewhat similar in their basketball philosophy in nature, and they are both close-to-hand teams. So the fight is extraordinarily stalemate, very tough on defense, and tactical discipline on offense, this kind of fight is not the crazy slashing of the Warriors and Thunder. Rather, it is suppressed in an orderly contest in a system.

The Grizzlies really started to exert their strength, and the whole Grizzly Bears' machine qì was running very well, but on the Pelicans' side, Millsap, who had completely gone berserk today, seemed to be a scoring machine. Throwing the ball into the Grizzlies' basket in various ways again and again, the Grizzlies just couldn't catch up with the ten-point gap.

This close-fitting stalemate battle continued until the end of the second quarter, and the Pelicans actually led the Grizzlies by 10 points. 55-45, the grizzly bear's efforts did not fill the big hole they left in the first half of the quarter, but they still had to live in that tenth gap in the second half of the quarter.

At halftime, when returning to the locker room from the court, the Pelicans, especially Millsap, seemed very excited, and today Millsap almost played his own representative game, and Millsap even felt that he seemed to be omnipotent under the expansion of self-confidence.

Li Feng also enjoyed the game with his teammates, and so far the Pelicans' performance has been extraordinarily good, both in terms of the individual performance of the players and the team's integrity, they are playing at a super level, and the championship team like the Grizzlies is pressed under him and cannot move.

Li Feng was also a little excited to play today, and as soon as he came in, he loudly told Brand about his magic, and actually said that he let Mike Miller foul, and he did it, which is simply a god, so that everyone's interest came, and they happily discussed in the locker room.

Brand also unceremoniously announced that Li Feng was going to invite everyone to dinner after the game, and the whole guy in the locker room was so happy, and now the Pelicans are completely immersed in happiness, and they don't realize that there must be more difficult games waiting for them in the second half?

"Today's Pelicans table is simply amazing, they played at a very high level, and Paul Millsap is even more at the level of MVP, such a pelican is simply dazzling."

Derek Anderson was very surprised and praised the Pelicans with great admiration.

At this time, the Pelicans players happened to come out of the players' tunnel and heard the praise on this side, although Millsap forced the smug expression on his face, but looking at his eyes, it was simply beautiful.

"Yes, the Pelicans played amazingly in the first half, but, Anderson, do you think the Pelicans' high-intensity form will continue, and Millsap's magic watch will always exist."

"I don't think so, good form is not a call, it is something that can be met but not wanted, if Millsap plays abnormally in the third quarter, how to say, the Pelicans will definitely have difficulties on offense, which will affect the performance of the whole team."

Albert clearly doesn't feel Millsap's form is going to continue.

This can be regarded as pouring cold water on Millsap, who walked out of the player's tunnel with high spirits, Millsap didn't look at it with great satisfaction, Albert's old guy, and at the same time he also gave himself an idea, if he is not accurate in this section, he will kill more inside to attract attention and create fouls.

In short, you can't lose today, Millsap thought of this, reached out and pushed the red headband on his head, and continued to walk towards the court.

In the second half, it was the Pelicans who re-entered the game, and Millsap received a pass from Rose in the opening period as if he wanted to refute Albert's words, and began to fire a small step from within the 4-degree three-point line.

Today, Millsap's hand is really soft as silk, and after the shot, the ball is round and elastic, and he jumped into the grizzly basket at once, and after scoring this goal, the corners of Millsap's mouth were crooked, thinking:

"Albert, you wait to eat yourself, my touch is still there."

Millsap's hand was really hot, and the second quarter continued the omnipotence of the first quarter, and Millsap's madness naturally drove the courage of the rest of the team.

The state comes and goes, and the pelicans are driving by Millsap to soar, so naturally, although they are in a normal state, the grizzly bear will fade a lot in front of the pelicans in an abnormal state.

Compared to the Pelicans, the Grizzlies' offense became more and more difficult and difficult, and in the second half of the second quarter, the league powerhouses were almost cornered by the Pelicans, and no one scored for more than a minute.

And this time Albert roared in surprise from the commentary seat:

"The Pelicans simply played a suffocating and oppressive offense, and the level of performance of the Pelicans in this game was simply amazing, and even the Grizzlies' steel defense seemed to be torn apart in the face of this ultra-high-intensity offense."

Albert completely forgot what he had just said ten minutes ago, and now that he saw the strong posture of the Pelicans, he simply regarded the Pelicans as the strongest contenders for the championship.

Derrick Anderson was also amused when he heard that Albert had turned into a strong supporter of the Pelicans so quickly, and said to his good partner:

"Albert, it's amazing how you've changed, considering that you just thought the Pelicans couldn't hold on to this kind of offense for long. Why have you changed your attitude now? ”

Albert touched his chin and said:

"Things have changed unexpectedly, and I think the Pelicans, who absolutely surprised me today, will definitely surprise everyone tomorrow."

After halftime, the score of the two sides was 67-50, which is not a small gap, and Millsap began to be very excited after the game, because with this foundation in the back, the Grizzlies will be very difficult to play, which is the so-called loss of opportunity.

The Pelicans have more than a dozen points in hand, and there will be a lot of changes, and if the Grizzlies are always in a backward state, whether it is in rhythm or on the court, the Pelicans will always be in the driver's hands.

Van Gundy was also a little excited today, Jim Carrey's face even flushed, although he himself was very excited, but when he spoke to his teammates, he kept saying, I hope everyone can stay calm, stay calm, hold down in the later games, and don't let the Grizzlies play their rhythm lightly.

Now the Pelicans' entire team from players to coaches is a little intoxicated, and Rose even shouted that he wanted to completely crush the Grizzlies in the third quarter, that is, he needed to lead the Grizzlies by 20 points in the third quarter.

The whole Pelican is immersed in the love of being able to defeat the Grizzly Bear in one fell swoop, Li Feng was a little heartless and happy with everyone, but when he was about to play, he suddenly thought that the Grizzly Bear, a mature but energetic bear, would never be defeated by his own team so lightly, not to mention a 17-point lead, even a 27-point lead must not be taken lightly, but now in this state, if he says these words, these guys will never listen to themselves.

So what to do? When Li Feng thought of this, he was a little anxious, because with his instinct and no rational analysis, Li Feng felt that the current pelican seemed to have stepped into a gentle trap. (To be continued......)
