Chapter 812: Tyrannosaurus Rex vs Pretending to Be a God
The ball came out of the baseline, Jennings dribbled past half court, and immediately after halftime he went to look for Drummond, Drummond easily squeezed Brand, received Jennings' pass from the outside, Drummond received the basketball and immediately squeezed fiercely towards the Pelicans' interior line.
But unlike the previous rounds, this time Drummond had just dribbled a step, and saw that Millsap seemed to be a tiger, and pounced on him and pressed in front of Drummond.
Drummond was stuck by Millsap and Brand, and then Drummond and Big Van Gundy on the court figured it out, it turned out that Van Gundy's Pelicans were going to use a pinch to defend, and it turned out that this was the inner softness of their pause.
You must know that every center with the ability to attack inside may receive this kind of training, receiving the ball inside and then passing the ball out, Drummond, as a future star, has received a lot of this training.
As soon as Drummond saw Millsap arrive, he didn't have as many passing tools, but he did it by jumping up and throwing the ball high into Villanueva's hands from top to bottom.
Villanueva was standing on the left foot at this time, Drummond's pass like a cannonball was steadily caught by the white veteran, there was no one in front of him two steps, only the side of Al Thornton was moving towards him, at this time Villanueva was not anxious, very rhythmically holding the ball, looking at the basket, and then squatting in a very standard shooting posture, and then lifting the basket, relaxing his body and jumping out.
In the moment before this white veteran made a move, some cloudy eyes suddenly flashed a trace of fanaticism, perhaps in such a long time, he had also been fanatical and had carried hope.
It's just that the truth is always that anything in the world is not under the control of people, and some people don't do it. And it doesn't say anything, that fate usually appears a bad cuΓ².
By the time Al Thornton pounced, Villanueva had just made the last move of dribbling, flicking his wrist, and the basketball left his fingers, as smooth as Hangzhou silk, although I had never seen anything like that, but it was said to be very smooth.
Althornton's hand was empty, and he blocked Villanueva's view of his ball. But basketball didn't have any effect, and with the move that Villanueva had been practicing hard for ten years, he fell into the basket with great precision.
Villanueva was content to hear his favorite voice.
Seeing Villanueva shoot so calmly, Stan Van Gundy on the touchline smiled, and he understood very well that Villanueva was a good guy, a good guy and a good player.
He trains hard. Take the game seriously, take every minute you have on the field, and do what you can, even if you can't. He will also try his best, such a guy, not only his younger brother Jeff Big Van Gundy likes, everyone will like it. But he didn't have the talent of Drummond, but it wasn't his fault at all, it was just a deliberate arrangement by God. Let some people pay more, but they still can't excel and can only be mediocre.
The Pistons' three-point shot was a little freehand, like a textbook, and it seemed like a casual outpouring, Van Gundy gritted his teeth, he didn't realize that Villanueva would score again, so he put on his face and didn't give any further instructions.
Li Feng saw Villanueva's three points at this time, and suddenly remembered that there was also a shooter sitting next to him, so Li Feng glanced back at Oladipo.
The two friends who have been deeply acquainted with each other can understand it very much, Li Feng just glanced at Oladipo, Oladipo knew Li Feng's thoughts very clearly, he pouted his lips and said:
"I'm not like him, I need feeling, you know, I need the suppleness of my hand on a young girl's back, but he's different, he needs an empty space, just an empty space, he's like a shooting machine, and I'm a shooting poet, you know."
Li Feng didn't understand what Oladipo was talking about, this feeling was too far away for Li Feng, and his rough heart couldn't understand those soft feelings at all, so Li Feng shook his head honestly.
"Hey, I know it's a waste of words to talk to you."
Oladipo waved his arm, feeling sorry for the saliva he had wasted.
The Pelicans used Al Thornton to make a successful sneak attack last time, and this time they still used this trick, and the so-called sneak attack, that is, the first thing to do is to be surprised, but this time Jennings and Al Thornton did it too obviously.
When he came over, he dodged the posture and let Al Thornton break through, as if he had run to someone's door and said to the other party:
"Hey, I'm going to smash your glass."
This is something that is easy to be sent to a mental hospital early, and now Al Thornton turned around and broke through immediately after receiving the ball, and it looks like a bit of a strong man is gone, and he will not return the hero, but in fact, the strong is a hero, but it can only be regarded as tragic when explained in detail.
Josh Smith looked immobile and took two steps against Al Thornton, and then immediately flashed to the side, in fact, this one was obviously hiding some dark psychology under his loyal face.
Josh Smith got out of the way, and Drummond, who was behind the defense, had already arrived, and Al Thornton didn't know if he was dead and hit Drummond's body, but when his weak little body touched Drummond's body, he knew why humans have the idiom of mantis arms as a car.
As a result of the physical confrontation, Althornton was squeezed to the side and could not make a full movement, while Drummond was like a beast with a big mouth open, with an evil smile in his eyes, with a big wave of his hand, "bang", Althornton took the ball with the ball, and slapped it hard, as if swatting a fly, easily and with that kind of inadvertent cruelty.
Al Thornton let out a "ah" in the air, but the referee saw it very clearly, Drummond's block was clean as if it was the steps in front of the White House, it was definitely a good ball, and Al Thornton's tragic experience could only be regarded as self-defeating.
Van Gundy saw Al Thornton being photographed like a fly, and his heart was in pain, not at all because of Al Thornton's broken wings, which caused grief in his heart, but because Van Gundy suddenly felt that he seemed to have made a series of wrong decisions today, making the whole team miss countless opportunities.
Althornton bent and fell out of the air like a prawn, and the ball hit the baseline. Jumped out, and the ball rightfully belonged to the Pistons.
Hardaway, the penny in the commentary seat, can now finally say:
"Van Gundy is really looking for the wrong target, if he wants to cause Drummond's foul, he shouldn't choose Al Thornton, he should at least respect Drummond and find him a better breakout, and with this qualification, it seems that only Li Feng can do this in the entire Pelicans."
"Li Feng, every time I think of this name now, I think why he didn't play point guard. It's a pity, I regret that I didn't coach him in the first place, and was trained as a striker by Mason and Ewing. β
Penny Hardaway covered his forehead as he spoke.
Barkley smiled:
"Do you regret hearing that?"
"Nope."
Kenny and Penny Hardaway shook their heads in denial.
The Pistons' offense is still fast, and now the situation has become favorable to them, as if it has not affected the team from any angle, but this time the person who passed the ball into the interior was changed, and Starkey hit the ball to the inside.
So Drummond, the inside beast, gained plenty of energy, and in fact, from the beginning of today's game, the Pelicans' shortcomings in the lineup provided Drummond with a lot of room to play.
After receiving the ball, Brand couldn't resist pretending to be a god at all, and Millsap would shoot Villanueva again. You can only wait and see, but at this time Arenas understands very well that without help, Brand can't stop Drummond. I can only go over and flank.
Arenas came over as if he had taken it down, but Drummond's ball was not easy to mess with, and as soon as Arenas' hand came, he immediately held the ball in his arms. Then he pushed the ball with one hand, and the ball was in the hands of Jennings, who was receiving it outside.
Jennings had a Rose in front of him, so Jennings' eyes saw Starkey in the empty seat. The ball quickly moved into Starkey's hands, and as soon as Starkey received the basketball, Al Thornton immediately defended.
This time Starkey passed the ball to Josh Smith on the other side, and just after receiving the ball, Millsap arrived, so he passed the ball again to Villanueva.
It's still Villanueva, it's still this white veteran, the rotation of the piston ball is very fast and reasonable, and the five-man basketball flows in reverse, through almost everyone's hands, and finally into Villanueva's hands.
The white veteran's eyes were full of clear passion, not the hormone of the adrenal glands for a moment, but the most precious treasure that time had given Villanueva, a wealth that gave him a tenacious desire to win and the clearest perception of the world.
It was still the same movement, the same movement Villanueva had been practicing for ten years, practicing countless times, and at this time he was still moving along that rhythm, his wrist shook slightly, and the basketball was like a projectile thrown out, spinning, supple, and out of an arc.
Flying from the bottom foot across the horizontal halfway court, just right, not much at all, not much at all, planted into the Pelicans' basket with that mechanical, unchanging beauty.
It's three points again, and it's Villanueva again, and Villanueva smiled with satisfaction, stretching out his right hand and drawing three fingers as he ran towards his half.
Barkley yelled:
"Charlie Villanueva, another three, this is his second three, today he was unbelievable."
There was surprise in Barkley's roar, Villanueva's eyes shone with precipitated excitement, and Drummond came over and hit the old fellow hard, and Villanueva was almost knocked down.
But he still feels very happy, even very happy, no one knows his athletic career better than himself, that's all, that's all, that's all, although the college and rookie years were the core, and even the Bucks traded him for TJ Ford, who played the All-Star number JΓΉ, but now it's 2014, and there's nothing else, but he still feels very happy, this is me, everyone has only one fate, that's what Corleone Sr. in The Godfather said:
"My destiny is to shoot those threes."
Van Gundy knew that he had made a mistake, and that it had to be corrected, so he stood up and called a second timeout for three minutes in a row, somewhat of being forced.
Kenny Smith on the commentary bench used one sentence to describe the Pelicans, and Li Fengjue's Americans are always extremely sarcastic, but sometimes their metaphors are simply brilliant.
"Now the situation of the two teams is like a boxer with an old injury, and when he comes on the court, he is immediately hit with his old injury. So he has been suppressed and can't hold his head up. β
This sentence is very clear, the Pistons just grasped the weakness of the Pelicans' interior line, as long as they find an opportunity, they will punch here, and when you protect your vital point, he will punch in other ways, which is very fatal.
The most important thing is not only to give people continuous hits, but also to control the rhythm of the game in this way, and they can use their own way to hit you at any time and contain you. Hold you back, and even let you fall into their trap.
Now there is only one thing that can change the game, which is to seize a weakness or a temporary omission of the opponent, take the initiative, and always occupy the initiative, so that they can't play their stuff.
Van Gundy didn't know if he could understand this, but he knew exactly what kind of people he should trust and when, and Millsap was sweating profusely, and Al Thornton was a little frustrated. Arenas' eyes widened with rage, and Rose muttered as he walked down.
Van Gundy said loudly:
"Now our team is like a punching bag, allowing the other side to bully, but it's not everyone's fault. Everyone's table is very satisfying. β
"Even the most demanding Larry Brown doesn't blame you for the attitude, the whole first half defeat was entirely on me, it was my command failure, it was my miscalculation of the form......"
"Then we have to change, Li Feng, you replace Brand, Oladipo you replace Ayrthornton. Drummond is in Millsap to defend, but he still needs help, Li Feng I want you to help Millsap, but you can't let go of Villanueva, I know it's a little difficult for you, but this is what you have to pay to win, Li Feng depends on you. β
Van Gundy stood on the sideline, one hand in his jacket pocket, and the other hand clenched his fist tightly, Li Feng now had no idea that there was any way in the world to defend a kite power forward and an interior monster on the other.
But seeing such a Van Gundy, Li Feng suddenly felt that Van Gundy was actually very handsome, even if he was like Jim Carrey, even if he was a little old-fashioned, but it didn't matter, Li Feng had always felt that handsome was an attitude, not a face, and now Van Gundy's eyes were full of desire for victory and hope for the future.
So Li Feng stretched out his hand, touched his forehead, and said with a smile:
"It's an impossible task, but I like it."
Li Feng's playful expressions and movements suddenly made the Pelicans players who were in trouble smile, maybe Li Feng can really do it? Speaking of Li Feng, Rose even instinctively thought of the appearance of a miracle, so there was no specific tactic, no specific way of playing, Van Gundy just changed two people, and the Pelicans reappeared.
Perhaps at this time, Van Gundy's heart appeared in the same vocabulary as in Phil Arenas's heart and Pat Riley's heart, that is, in addition to McEl's Jordan tactics, Kobe Bryant's tactics, and Devon Wade's tactics, this tactic is called Li Feng's Calleton tactic.
Seeing that Li Feng appeared on the field again, and this time it seemed to appear in the position of power forward, Kenny Smith first wanted to say something, but sighed before saying it.
"Van Gundy replaced Li Feng, and the substitution is a bit early, but this is not surprising, now the Pelicans need to change the situation, and changing the situation is officially what Li Feng is best at."
"This guy is such a pervert."
Penny Hardaway looked at Li Feng's back and couldn't help but say:
"Li Feng has no disadvantage in any position, on the contrary, only an advantage."
Van Gundy of course heard Penny Hardaway's words, and in an instant a thought came to him, and this thought was like a flame, which suddenly ignited the dead branches and leaves in Van Gundy's heart, and filled his heart with burning dreams.
Oladipo served in the half, the ball was sent quickly, Arenas received the basketball, and immediately turned back, Li Feng flashed in front of Villanueva at this time, and in the rapid running, an idea flashed through Li Feng's mind like a line.
It was vague, but there was a thread that pulled Li Feng into the edge of his fate. Li Feng, an abnormal power forward, ran desperately along the three-point line like a guard, leaving the aging Villanueva behind his ass alive.
Arenas saw Li Feng, who was unguarded, and as soon as the ball in his hand jumped, he jumped into Li Feng's hand, Li Feng took the basketball, and didn't even stop, it was instinct that didn't make him stop, swinging a feint in his hand, and gritting his teeth. The strength of the lower body was all squeezed into the muscles between the thighs and calves, and rushed into the inner line of the piston in one step.
At this time, Starkey, who came from the side, still wanted to help defend it, but the mixture of Li Feng's body and speed was enough to impact the two old cats, and Starkey's body was thrown away by Li Feng like garbage.
There is only Drummond in front of him, only pretending to be a god, and if he wants to defeat the Pistons, he can only climb over Drummond and can only fight. Li Feng had already figured out what was going on, and the distractions had completely disappeared.
Strength and courage filled his burly body at the same time, in front of the eyes of 18,000 people in the Auburn Palace arena and hundreds of thousands of cable viewers across the country. Li Feng flew up as if he was a bomb without hesitation.
A person's temperament can be reflected in his skills, and Li Feng's determination can be seen in his eyes, which seems to be the blood light in the eyes of a vampire. It seemed to be the bravery in the chest of Spartan tactics.
Li Feng, who was flying, and Drummond, who was standing in the three-second zone, collided with each other with a "bang", as if a powerful fist was clashing, sweat. Splashing, muscles deformed by squeezing, blood vessels jumping with passion, and collisions made people breathe quickly because of the force.
The two bodies collided in the air, and then the huge force rebounded, Li Feng shook in the air, retracted a little, and the hand that raised the ball completely retracted, until it was hidden in his waist.
So, Drummond's giant palm couldn't find it, only Li Feng quietly, stretched out his left hand, and stretched out his hand low, the ball followed Li Feng's movements, gently, on the basket, and then a gentle nervous jump, when Li Feng's feet fell, the ball had already entered.
Unbelievably, after the huge body collision, Li Feng used the gentlest way to get the ball into the Piston's basket, and his eyes were round and shiny as if they were street lights, he really couldn't believe that there was such a thing.
On the Pelicans' bench, even the wooden Caron Butler and Brand couldn't suppress their instinctive human passion, and suddenly broke through that bench and jumped.
Everyone knew that the Tyrannosaurus rex would create a little miracle on the field, but everyone didn't expect that things would be so fast and so huge, and the aftermath of shock and amazement seemed to be ripples, shaking wave after wave in the Auburn Palace arena.
Li Feng roared wildly and swung his fist, and the scorching fire in his eyes seemed to burn Drummond's pride.
In the back, Ross and Arenas were suddenly shaken by Li Feng, and they jumped up and hugged Li Feng.
Barkley laughed, this NBA veteran, laughing on his back, his psychology was filled with a kind of pride, this pride came from Barkley's heart, looking at Li Feng Barkley There was an inexplicable sense of achievement.
Big Van Gundy grinned and made a terrifying expression, whenever Li Feng came on the court, things would be a little out of the realm of the basic physical world.
Drummond listened to those exclamations, his eyes looked at Jennings on the other side of the court, Jennings was already flushed by Li Feng's stimulation.
The blue waves of the Pistons surged to the Pelicans' half, and Jennings really began to enter a state of frenzy himself, and he shook in a wide range of ways, he was like a beast and frequently showed his sharp fangs and claws, suddenly dribbled two steps in a row, and then stopped and stepped back, Jennings flashed past Rose and made a shot.
Jennings is now attacking again, but it may have just started to warm up, and the hand was not very good, the ball smashed on the basket and jumped out, and Li Feng desperately squeezed the struggling Villanueva behind him on the inside. (To be continued......)
