40-40, at this time, DJ Augustin is really a little anxious, when Li Feng is on the field, he can completely suppress Will Bynum, and when Will Bynum comes to his own place, he can break through casually, he is not as good as Li Feng is sure, but such an obvious expression is unacceptable.

How can this work, when Will Augustin broke through again, he was ruthless, and gave Will Bynum a crutch in the back, but DJ Augustin was also a point back, and was immediately seen by the referee, and immediately gave DJ Augustin a foul, this time DJ Augustin lost and lost.

Seeing this, Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout, and now Van Gundy's face was dark, as if he had been punched head-on, but the reason for his dark face was neither his own team being caught up by others, nor DJ Augustin's bad appearance.

It's that the team's lack of Li Feng is like a different team, which certainly shows Li Feng's strength, but also makes the team overly dependent on Li Feng, he consciously controls Li Feng's time to remind the players of this, but now it's still too difficult to find.

Seeing Van Gundy's dark face, DJ Augustine thought that he was going to suffer, but he thought that his bad performance was what Van Gundy had expected a long time ago, and people didn't have any expectations for Meiyu and DJ Augustin.

Van Gundy said with a pale face:

"Okay, now it's time for us to play for real, Brand, Millsap, Al Thornton, Arenas, Ross it's time for you to play, when you get on the field, Rose, Arenas, you can break through appropriately."

The Pelicans' main force appeared, and Li Feng sat behind and glanced at the Pistons. Immediately noticed a more interesting thing, all the main forces of the pistons also appeared.

Point guard Jennings, shooting guard Starkey, small forward Josh Smith, center Drummond, but the Pistons didn't switch to their power forward position Charlie Villanueva.

The taste of this lineup is somewhat similar to the lineup of Van Gundy in the Magic, sending a kite power forward out, and when attacking, Drummond's interior space will be immediately expanded, and then it will be a basis for Drummond's rampant interior line.

Pelicans control possession. The Pelicans' three point guards have three styles of stopping the game, Ross is unpredictable, Li Feng is steady, and DJ Augustin is not fast.

Rose is now on the court again, and has completely forgotten the frustration of dealing with Jennings in the last quarter, and the game is to use his own dribbling to pull continuously, which is usually an effective means for Rose to destroy the opponent's defense, but today he met Jennings and just couldn't squeeze in.

Physical confrontation is not as real as the physical feeling outside the court, but it is also easy to see. Generally, when making physical contact, if one party can change the direction of movement of the other party, then this side is the one who has the physical advantage, and the weaker side is reflected in the softer appearance. You can't get your own place according to your own ideas.

Rose has this effect in front of Jennings, as long as he makes physical contact with Jennings, he will not get the position he wants and be suppressed everywhere.

Rose's harassment tactics were unsuccessful. The final eight seconds were passed to Millsap, who didn't have much time but thankfully had to face Villanueva. There was nothing the other side could do but watch Millsap score.

But when it was the Pistons' turn to attack, the entire offensive system of the Pistons immediately changed dramatically, because Villanueva stood outside the three-point line, and Drummond was too easy to get stuck on the inside.

Jennings can also be regarded as having cooperated with Yao Ming for a while, and he is no stranger to the technique of passing the ball to the inside, and Jennings immediately stuffed the ball into it as soon as he saw Drummond Card's main position.

Drummond leaned on Brand at this time, Drummond, who took over the basketball, turned around quickly, shook in front of Brand, and then immediately cut in, and then went directly to the basket, Brand jumped up and blocked, Drummond even just shook a little in the air to let go of Brand, and simply got these two points.

When Drummond was alone on the inside against Brand so lightly, Kenny Smith, who was on the commentary bench, seemed to recall something, and he said:

"Now Van Gundy has finally opened his mind, and that's how we used it back then, with one less meat shield power forward, you can give your center unlimited space, and if you have a strong center, then it's a good deal."

Penny Hardaway, hearing Kenny introducing his experience, gave him a small blow: "But what if the opponent's center is stronger than yours, then you don't know how to blow up your weaknesses." ”

Penny Hardaway refers to how he and O'Neill defeated Olajuwon, which Kenny Smith certainly remembers, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.

Van Gundy, who was on the side, saw the Pistons' change of formation, and he was also thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind, and the big fat man Van Gundy's move was to expose the Pelicans' already weak places more extensively.

Rose rested below after half a quarter, and had just tried it himself, and there was really nothing he could do with Jennings with those tricks, so Rose just had to be obedient and organize the attack.

Passed the ball to Millsap's hands, Millsap is now playing against Villanueva, although this white man has a very good long-range shot, but Villanueva is definitely not bad in defense, and quite desperate, as soon as Millsap received the basketball, this Villanueva clinged closely, waving his arms up and down, as if a wall was erected in front of Millsap.

In the face of this desperate defense, Millsap had to take advantage of his footwork and cut out in one step to try to get past Villanueva, which was a good idea, but past Villanueva, Millsap immediately encountered another mountain.

Drummond sat on the inside waiting for Millsap, the two confronted, Millsap pulled the ball with one hand, throws, two strong forwards against each other, but unfortunately Drummond was born perverted, Millsap had no chance at all, throwing the ball that touched the ball. Josh Smith, who was rushed in, bullied Al Thornton very much, and got it from the back of his head.

Josh Smith received the basketball, and strangely did not rush to pass the ball to Jennings, and at this time Jennings did not yell at the opponent for the ball, which can only show one thing, Josh Smith came to handle the ball, it must be the attention of the opposing head coach Stan Van Gundy.

In this way, the Pistons had two tactics at the beginning of the second quarter, one was to use Villanueva to open up space and play Drummond, and the second was to use Josh Smith to play the relatively weak Al Thornton.

Build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Use your strongest point to attack, dominate and jam the opponent's weakness, I have to say that Stan Van Gundy's level is not covered, and his vision is absolutely unique.

Now that this Josh Smith is dribbling, Al Thornton still doesn't really have a way to take Josh Smith, which can follow Josh Smith and barely be a defender.

Josh Smith got to the Pelicans beyond the three-point line, completely different from Jennings' impatience. Seeing Josh Smith play, I didn't feel very excited, very passionate at all, I just felt like he was like that. It's even a bit lazy.

But Josh Smith was born with a lazy feeling in clothes, but he had a cold and cruel heart in his heart, and when he reached the three-point line, he immediately raised the ball to Drummond. At this point, Drummond even ran to the outside of the three-second zone to catch the ball in two steps.

Drummond still has a lot of offensive power to receive the ball at this position, because the Pelicans' ground defense has been stretched very wide, and Millsap chased Villanueva directly to the edge of the third line.

And Brand made a mistake at this time. That is when defending Drummond, he gave this pretending space, and when he saw Drummond go far, he didn't completely stick it up, giving Drummond a step of space.

Before Brand realized how serious his mistake was, Drummond took the ball and turned to face the basket, and there was nothing in front of him to prevent him from making his first move.

This allowed Drummond to increase his speed in one step, and inserted it towards the baseline, and Bland, who saw him cut in with this speed and power, immediately regretted it, but he had no chance to make amends at all, and the defense that pounced on it was like a moth to a fire, which did not cause any confusion to Drummond at all.

I saw Drummond, who slipped in from the bottom line, like a dragon in the sea, flying in the air, twisting his whole body behind the rebound, dodging Brand at once, and then dunking back.

"Boom" smashed a heavy dunk on the Pelicans' basket, and the fans at the Auburn Palace Arena cheered as if they were people sitting in the power of the modern Colosseum, where blood and savagery are the love of the dark hearts of human beings at all times.

After Drummond clenched the ball happily, he also let out a rare and extremely wild yell, it is rare to see such a Drummond, and now Drummond is completely due to the fact that he was too depressed in the first quarter.

And Van Gundy began to move back and forth on the sideline again, thinking about how to change the formation to stop the bombardment of the pretending god on his inner line, but countless plans and cases formed in Van Gundy's mind, but they came to naught.

Because there are not many chips available in his hands now, even the most clever chef still needs ingredients, and without enough ingredients, how can he complete the tactics.

Van Gundy, who had no choice at all, could only gamble now, and he turned around and suddenly yelled at Brand who had just run over:

"Brand, go around, go around, defend, don't let Drummond catch the ball."

Li Feng was sitting on the rest seat, and when he heard Van Gundy yelling like this, he really wanted to jump up and cover Van Gundy's mouth, what kind of trick is this, it is simply a bad trick, it is definitely a very effective trick for a center like Yao Ming who has bad footsteps and bounce to go around, but against a bouncing superman like Drummond, going around the front will only provide him with countless opportunities to counter.

The Pelicans stepped into the Pistons' half again, and this time the Pelicans finally did not return empty-handed, and the long-lost Rose was suppressed by Jennings for a long time, and this time he also played the opponent once, deceived the defense and scored two points with a quick shot.

The Pistons immediately took the ball and counterattacked back, and in the half of the court Jennings immediately passed the ball to Josh Smith again, at this time, several times with Josh Smith, Stan Van Gundy's mind is already known to passers-by, he is going to use Josh Smith to bully Al Thornton, this is what he has to do.

Josh Smith received the ball and looked inside, and it was around the front of the defense. Brand was desperately pushing Drummond back inside, seeing this situation, Josh Smith immediately laughed, he didn't hesitate at all, he took a big step out, and cut directly into the Pelicans' basket from the middle, Al Thornton followed Josh Smith's side, completely did not press the other party, or interfere with the opponent's ability, and Draymond Bland could only come back in a hurry. Protect the team's name, and the area below the basket in the three-second zone.

But as soon as he saw Brand move, Josh Smith on this side once again showed his innate understanding of basketball, breaking through to the average time, throwing the ball up with one hand.

The ball was gone, and Josh Smith was like a live performance piston home, playing a little piston for everyone, and then a little mischievous and playful smile. But at that time, Brand's face was blue.

No one knows better than him what is about to happen, and after this period of entanglement, Brand has completely understood the essence of Drummond. As long as you get a little away from him, he can make moves that you regret a lot, especially now that you're so far away from him.

The blue bomber reappeared in the Pelicans' airspace. With a huge orange bomb, it fell violently in the sky above the Pelican capital, and "boom" was a dunk again, and it was an aerial relay again.

Van Gundy went around the front defense without even being alarmed. Big Van Gundy's brain, with a roll of his eyes, cracked Van Gundy's inappropriate way of defense.

At this time, Van Gundy also clearly knew his mistake, he covered his face with remorse, and immediately called a timeout, now he must find a way to contain Drummond, otherwise the team will face a greater crisis, Van Gundy knows this very well.

Seeing his teammates walking back, Li Feng's face was a little sympathetic, there was only one root cause for pretending to be powerful, that is, space, giving him space would be brilliant.

Van Gundy looked at Li Feng at this time, he really wanted to put Li Feng on the court, he was sure that Li Feng would defend Villanueva's shot well, and Millsap could change to Drummond.

This idea is very tempting, but Li Feng is still "injured", Van Gundy can only sigh and say:

"Paul, you can relax a little bit on Villanueva's side, Arenas, Rose, you should pay attention to flanking Drummond, we can't let Drummond play too easily, Al you can get past Josh Smith."

This question was a bit abrupt, but Al Thornton still nodded hurriedly, instinctively he felt that his opportunity had come, but since it was an opportunity, there would be risks, and he didn't think of this for the time being.

"Since that's the case, El you can break through regardless of the group, the faster the better, the more ferocious the better, even if you are capped, it doesn't matter, I just ask you to be faster and more ferocious."

As soon as Van Gundy said this, Al Thornton immediately laughed, this request is not difficult for him, and Li Feng was shocked, there are many such players in the league, when they were young, they were human bombs in the hands of the coach, directly stuffed into the opponent's position and exploded, this kind of player will generally receive a lot of popularity in a certain period of time, but this kind of player is also prone to injury, so after Van Gundy's timeout is over.

Li Feng took advantage of Al Thornton to come on the field, shook his hand and said:

"Al, watch your body."

Li Feng's eyes were very sincere, and Al Thornton was suddenly a little moved, and gently hugged Li Feng and said:

"I will."

At halftime, after halftime, Rose passed the ball to Althornton, and the remaining four players of the entire Pelicans all pulled to the left side of the court, leaving all the right to Althornton and Josh Smith.

Al Thornton was not good at breaking, but now in the Pelicans' lineup, Rose is being stared at by Jennings, and Arenas is not a breakthrough guard, only Al Thornton has a speed advantage over Josh Smith.

Van Gundy can only play the only favorable card of Alsangton, who was bullied by Joshsmith a little bit just now, and now as soon as the ball is in Alsangton's hands, and with Van Gundy's supreme instructions, Alsandton is completely at ease.

After receiving the ball, the body shook quickly and was inserted directly into the Pistons' inside line, and Al Thornton inserted quite fiercely and very suddenly, and Josh Smith did not react for a while.

I can only watch Al Thornton rise in the dust, El Thornton's move can't be said to be fast and unstoppable, but it is definitely beyond the expectations of everyone in the Pistons.

Even Drummond, who was guarding under the basket, was stunned and didn't react, and was cut in by Al Thornton, and it was easy to score two points.

"After Van Gundy's timeout, he strengthened the breakthrough? Don't he know how to write dead characters? ”

Penny Hardaway twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to sneer, but also wanting to mock.

"He meant he wanted to kill Drummond, which was a very common practice."

Kenny Smith, looking at the arena with a blank face, twitched his thick chin forward. (To be continued......)
