Chapter 822: You Live or Die
Li Feng began to feel the threat of the Celtics, at this time the Celtics were no longer the Celtics in the first half, the Celtics played decently in the first half, but the current Celtics are really angry Celtics.
They played basketball to the death, and the Celtics have now reached this point, Li Feng took the ball from the baseline, and he went to see Van Gundy, but he saw that Van Gundy was also looking at himself with blazing eyes.
Van Gundy was waiting for his own changes, Li Feng sighed, he was really tired, Li Feng immediately let his teammates ease down and start playing from the inside, the Pelicans began to attack from the inside according to Li Feng's idea, the basketball went to Millsap's hands, Millsap organized, and then passed the basketball out.
This qiē is normal, but Millsap, who passed the ball, went to Rose, and when Rose transferred, he suddenly passed the basketball too low, and Arenas, who received the ball, was a meal, just such a simple meal.
The basketball was immediately taken down by Courtney Lee, who was still watching, and Kourtney Lee, who took out the basketball, dribbled quickly and rushed towards the Pelicans' half, for the Celtics to defeat the Pelicans, they had almost no chance on the position, and could only find opportunities from the fast break, and the opportunities for the fast break were backcourt rebounds, breaks, and opponents' mistakes.
Courtney Lee is now halfway there, and he has a break that is a great start.
Arenas pursued closely on Courtney Lee's side, and it was difficult for Courtney Lee to shoot at this time, but don't forget that the current Celtics are angry Celtics, and Courtney Lee, who is that kind of basketball, is already desperate.
In a normal game, he would never use such a difficult action, but now he took it out without hesitation, Courtney Lee made a particularly large horizontal pull action in the rapid run, which made Courtney Lee's body stunned. At the same time, Arenas was provided with a fresh multiple-choice question, whether it was left or right.
Arenas was a little melancholy, Courtney Lee was still the dribble on the left, Courtney Lee broke through in one step, Arenas followed in a panic, but at this time Courtney Lee paused again, or pulled the ball horizontally, making Arenas guess.
But Courtney Lee played just a game of time difference, or left, and then a quick pull-up jumper. The basketball hit the center of the rebound and landed in the Pelicans' basket with ease.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Courtney Lee didn't make a sideways pull move, Hubby Brown was in the commentary booth and when Courtney Lee finally hit the basketball, Hubby Brown finally exclaimed.
"Courtney Lee's thousand-mile run is really beautiful, the combination of continuous feints and time difference is simply wonderful in the wonderful, I like this kind of basketball, Courtney Lee can do 10 centimeters. He's just a superstar, I don't doubt that."
Courtney Lee's actions were indeed neatly accomplished, but there was another sentence in Reggie Miller's mind:
"There is no if, and the same Nate Robinson would grow 10 centimeters taller. What happens if Iverson grows 10 centimeters, Brand grows 5 centimeters, and Barkley grows 5 centimeters. ”
That's all unthinkable, so let's forget about it. Because it was all useless, the Pelicans were hit by the Celtics in a row, and the Celtics came up with three beautiful layups in a row. It was as if they were on a three-pointer at the start of the second quarter.
Although the situation on the court is relatively tight, the spectators sitting in the New Orleans arena do not think that their team will lose, they definitely do not think so, they think that the Pelicans will steadily move the score back, and then continue to press on the Celtics to make a fortune.
The Pelicans did the same, and Li Feng didn't change his ways, still signaling his teammates to hold back the tempo, and then used his slow pace to attack the Celtics' court.
This time the Pelicans played a variant of zipper tactics, Millsap personally organized the organization, covering Arenas on the inside, running out from under the basket to near the baseline, and then Li Feng sent the basketball to Arenas's hands.
Arenas catches the ball and shoots, in this process, Millsap is like the barrel of a cannon, Arenas is the cannonball, Li Feng is the person who ignites, the cannonball is aimed well, the cannonball enters the chamber, and then Li Feng ignites.
Arenas took the shot to score points, a typical Pelican-style combination, subtle, simple, but effective, and several players performed a good example of Seiko.
The Pelicans are starting to chase points, which is good news for Pelicans fans, who now believe that their team will score points and will definitely keep the Celtics at bay.
That's what Pelican fans think, that's what Pelicans players think, that's what Van Gundy thinks, he blindly believes in his team, he believes that his team will definitely trample the Celtics under their feet, and the Pelicans will enter the playoffs with the first place in the league, and then the Finals, that's the world of the Pelicans, and this Pelicans is going to open up a dynasty.
Van Gundy deeply believes in the Pelicans, and he also deeply believes in Li Feng, but Li Feng is under pressure at this time, Van Gundy puts the right to adjust the team in Li Feng's hands, but sometimes this will be very effective because Li Feng is on the court and can feel the court, but sometimes this trick is not very useful, because Li Feng is also on the court, so he is a person in the game, and he can't fully see the changes in the entire court.
Now Li Feng's way of dealing with the Celtics is to lower the tempo, after the Celtics' successive fast attacks, this time they ran up quickly and finally found that they had no chance to break fast.
The Celtics wandered outside the Pelicans' half like a lone wolf, motionless and waiting, waiting for that opportunity, from the beginning of the game to the present, Bradley has played very quietly, active near the baseline and the three-second zone, and used his height and feel to steady his shots whenever he had the opportunity.
Rose was used to Bradley like this, but at this time, when the Celtics couldn't find an offensive opportunity in the half, Bradley suddenly stuck like a beast directly into the waist of the three-second zone from one side.
That's when Jeff Green's basketball was delivered to Bradley, who got the basketball, and he didn't make an elegant step-and-go mid-range shot, nor did he make a beautiful turnaround jumper. Rather, it was an absolutely rare brutal wagging of the elbows, and then a step towards the Pelicans' inside line.
Bradley actually chose to break through at the critical moment, which surprised the Pelicans, and Al Jefferson hurriedly moved his position towards it, but at this time Ben used his body to suppress him and prevent him from reaching the position.
As a result, Millsap, who was far away, came up to assist in the defense, and Millsap was also very good at defending the interior, but he was helpless to be far away, and Bradley had completely jumped up when he came up, and Bradley's antelope-like body shrank slightly in the air. Then he threw the basketball to the basket with one hand.
It's definitely not Bradley's forte, and he would never do it in a normal game, but today he did, and he really looked like an angry Celtic.
He bypassed Millsap's defense, put the basketball in the Pelicans' basket easily, the Celtics scored again, the Celtics scored one after another, the most important thing at this time is not these, the most terrifying thing is that the way the Celtics score is the strong attack on the inside. And not the so-called jump shot.
It's a sign that the Celtics are starting to go berserk, and now they're really Celtics, not antelopes. Or a goat.
The Celtics' offense is undergoing substantial changes, Li Feng is helpless at this time, the biggest difference between him and the head coach is that he can't make substitutions, and he can't change the team's defensive style. At this time, Li Feng could only take advantage of the gap between receiving the ball to tell Sù Ross that he must pay attention to the help defense of the inside, and now the Celtics have changed their offensive methods. The more discrete defense in the first half is no longer suitable for the current game.
Li Feng received the ball from the backcourt, he looked at Jeff Green's slightly red eyes, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, the Celtics are becoming dangerous, and now the Pelicans need to come up with the most powerful counterattack to knock the angry Celtics down.
Otherwise, things will get very troublesome, Li Feng decided to stick to the inside attack for one round, if it doesn't work, do it himself, thinking so, Li Feng passed the basketball to Millsap's hands.
Millsap turned over after getting the basketball, giving Celtics Bass a surprise, Millsap's turnaround jumper, and Millsap can still be expected when he is open.
However, but the Pelicans really didn't have a lot of luck today, just when the Celtics were in hot pursuit, just when the Pelicans needed to suppress the Celtics, Millsap missed a key miss.
At this time, it also brought another benefit to the Celtics, backcourt rebounding, after Sallinger grabbed the backcourt rebound, he threw the basketball directly into Jeff Green's hands, Jeff Green ran two steps with the ball, feeling that he was in Li Feng's suppression, the initial speed, but now what the Celtics need is speed, and what the Celtics need is a faster frequency.
Jeff Green shoved the basketball straight into the hands of Courtney Lee, who had come up on another run.
Courtney Lee got the basketball but ran towards the Pelicans' half like a wild horse, Jeff Green still took care of Courtney Lee on the other side, and the Celtics also had someone up in the middle to pick up this person was Buss.
The Celtics formed a three-line fast attack, but at this time the Pelicans' return defense was not slow, Li Feng, Arenas, and Al Jefferson were all chasing the opponent, Courtney Lee had already played several balls in front of Arenas, and Arenas stuck Courtney Lee here to prevent Courtney Lee from making a move.
Courtney Lee relied on his body to pull up the speed, and then quickly transmitted the basketball to the side of Jeff Green's hands, and now Jeff Green's pressure is also relatively high, and he can't carry Li Feng.
This guy got the basketball and passed the basketball to the hands of Buzz, who was re-recorded and inserted, and Buzz's performance in the course of the game today was really average, and there was nothing remarkable about it.
But now it's finally Buzz's turn to watch Xiàn's chance, today the Celtics' mad cow disease also infected Buzz's body, this guy who usually plays softly, got the basketball and hit the basket directly, he took a figure-eight step, shook off Al Jefferson behind him, and then hit Li Feng's body with his chest, and the basketball shot from the other side.
Buss perfectly completed the layup on Li Feng's head, and the Celtics also completed their own three-line fast break.
At this time, the Celtic bench suddenly jubilated. But the New Orleans Arena is holding back, because they believe that the Pelicans will be able to talk about the score and move the game back, and they will definitely be able to control the rhythm of the game from the new one.
But at this time, the head coach of the Celtics, Brad Stevens, is also shining in his eyes, Van Gundy's ambition is to build a dynasty of the Pelicans, Brad Stevens is more realistic, he only has one idea is to create another Celtics legend.
Although his Celtics are soft in their style of play, although they win with dexterity in the game, but now Celtics are going to harden up to show their opponents, Celtics can lose, but they must not lose. It definitely can't be like the first half, just going through the motions and coming to the court as if it's going to win for the Pelicans.
The Celts definitely didn't come to play small roles, and the Celts have their own dignity.
Van Gundy was also a little moved at this time, he believed in Li Feng, but Li Feng was on the court, Li Feng would be subject to a lot of restrictions, and his reaction was a little slow.
Van Gundy looked at the court, but at this time, Li Feng had already received the ball from the baseline and pressed towards the Celtics' half of the court with a fierce momentum. Seeing Li Feng like this, Van Gundy did not adjust the team, and he sat back again.
Because he saw that Li Feng wanted to dominate the court with his own attack. He wants to prove in his last way that this is the home court of the Pelicans, he is the king of the New Orleans arena, and Li Feng also let go of the rhythm, and he rushed directly to the Celtics' half after getting the basketball.
Li Feng was like a roaring beast. He's starting to get berserk, and he never allows his team to lose at New Orleans Arena, and he doesn't allow his team to lose the first game. It's a piece of.
Li Feng also sped up the pace, not only to the surprise of the Celtics, but even Li Feng's teammates were a little unexpected, now the Pelicans are not on the verge of collapse, and now Li Feng is ready to go crazy.
Miller was a little excited in the commentary booth and said:
"Li Feng rushed up, he rushed up from the right by himself, he was like a beast, Li Feng was ready to do it alone, I think the fans of the New Orleans Arena were waiting for such a moment!"
Li Feng rushed up and faced Jeff Green, who had retreated to the Celtics half, Jeff Green saw Li Feng rushing up like this at this time, he was also a little hairy, and doing physical confrontation with this kind of monster-level guy was simply a kind of torture for himself.
Li Feng faced Jeff Green, dribbled the balloon with one hand, learned that Jeff Green had used it on himself, suddenly flipped his wrist, and at the same time his whole body twisted towards the middle, took his first step, and hit the Celtics' interior directly.
Li Feng is an attack that integrates the strength and speed of the impact, and Jeff Green really can't stop it, and Li Feng's first step is still so vigorous, Li Feng hasn't used such tricks for a while.
Now it is a little jerky, but it is even more ferocious, Li Feng squeezed Jeff Green to the side, and then flew up directly, twisted his body in front of the basket, and resisted the flying tomahawk dunk with his shoulder.
The Celtics went wild and rushed up like a night man, but once Li Feng was wild, he was really unstoppable like a tiger, Jeff Green's outside defense was like a piece of paper, and then the Celtics' interior line was not as solid as they imagined.
Li Feng dunked on Sallinger's head, and it was time for the audience to roar, and the Pelicans fans, who had been silent for a while, could now finally jump up and cheer for every reason.
They jumped up from their actions, raised their arms high and roared indulgently, and Li Feng also enjoyed this kind of cry after landing on the ground, opening his arms to meet the cheers of the home fans.
Here he is the king, the New Orleans arena is his land, and now his land has been invaded, Li Feng must stand up and give the opponent the harshest blow, the court is thunderous, Li Feng raised his hands high, Van Gundy's hanging heart fell steadily, even if the tactics are not right, I still have Li Feng, I still have Li Feng, Li Feng is a tactic, and it is the Pelicans' last, the most effective tactic.
"Oh my God, Li Feng's one-man offense is simply amazing, the Celtic defense is simply vulnerable in front of him, he ignited the entire stadium, this kind of Cheng dù's violent dunk, I think it will remain in the hearts of every fan present."
Hubbie Brown was babbling.
Reggie Miller, like all the fans at the New Orleans Arena, stood up and outstretched his arms and cheered.
Li Feng accepted the pilgrimage and then turned to retreat, at this time the red in the eyes of the Celtics was still flushing, Brad Stevens injected a desperate courage into his team, and the Celtics will continue their vicious journey. (To be continued......)
