The Wizards shot three points like this, and Randy Whitman himself looked a little scared, this is too demonic, nothing else will happen in the second half.

Randy Whitman was scared, and Van Gundy was even more scared, because the Wizards' three-pointers were really not forced shots, but momentary opportunities appeared, and then they were seized immediately. At this point, Van Gundy was really convinced, and he immediately asked Kelly to prepare on the sidelines, and he couldn't let the Wizards continue to play like this.

But at this time, the Pelicans quickly pushed over, and Li Feng passed the basketball to Al Jefferson, who had the advantage of the position.

Al Jefferson attacked for the fourth time, he finally missed the shot, and once Al Jefferson missed the shot, the Wizards immediately hit it.

Wall quickly breaks through and passes to Kaloon Butler to the flank, who pulls out the middle on the flank and suddenly passes the ball to Gooden who is cutting in the air.

Gooden's feet were much faster than Al Jefferson's, and he was hot at this point, and his body was hit by a foul from Gasol and he lost his balance, but the basketball fell into the Pelicans' basket.

Gooden came to a 2+1 after consecutive three-pointers, so the Wizards' home court was of course completely crazy, and the whole court was crazy.

Gooden also roared and beat his chest after scoring, and celebrated loudly with his teammates, and when Gooden walked to the free throw line, Van Gundy quickly replaced Al Jefferson and replaced him with Kelly, although Kelly is not a non-trivial player, but his pace is still faster than Al Jefferson.

Gooden scored so many points in a row that he was a little too excited about the free throws and missed the free throws. However, by this time, the Wizards had already led the Pelicans by 12 points from 28 to 16.

Today's opening Wizards had a big lead, and Gooden suddenly went crazy to score 11 points, and the scene was completely out of control.

At such a moment, the morale of the wizard is completely up, and once the morale of the wizard comes up, no one is afraid. And at this point, the Pelicans are definitely in danger, and there are still 2 minutes left in the first quarter!

The game was beaten like this, and Van Gundy couldn't replace Li Feng with it. They can only keep going.

When the Pelicans encountered a crisis, the first thing they thought of was Li Feng, and at this time they handed over the basketball to Li Feng in the backcourt.

Li Feng pushed forward quickly, making a muscular confrontation with Otto Porter, and in the process, Gasol and Kelly suddenly made a double cover for Li Feng at the top of the arc.

Using the cover of such a pair, Li Feng rushed past the two people at once, and went straight to the basket near the penalty area.

In this situation, Gortat could only come over and stop Li Feng with a foul, and Li Feng made a foul at a crucial moment, interrupting the current offensive of the Wizards.

Got to the free throw line. Li Feng also tried his best to delay, slowly make free throws, and consume the opponent's momentum, and when Li Feng consumed time, the Wizards made another substitution, using Mark Webster and Temple to replace Wall and Otto Porter.

Randy Whitman still has room to make substitutions, and it also reflects Randy Whitman's steady mentality today.

In the past, if there was such a big advantage, he might have taken the opponent away in waves, but now Randy Whitman is still a substitution, and he is still ready to make a protracted battle. This is also the experience summed up today after suffering the losses of both sides last time.

Li Feng went to the free throw line, and he also felt average, hitting one of two free throws. The score of both teams became 28-17.

The Wizards kicked off the baseline, and Templeley hit the ball at this time, and he still played a high block, but he didn't have the destructive power of Wall.

Templeley's breakthrough couldn't penetrate the opposing defense. So he could only turn around and pass the basketball to Gooden, who had a good hand today, and Gooden took the ball here to break through Dio Kelly, but Kelly was faster than Al Jefferson. The height is slightly taller than Gooden, so Gooden has no chance at all.

He could only pass the basketball back to Caron Butler, who had 6 seconds left in 24 seconds when he got the ball, and he couldn't play anything, just when the Pelicans felt that they could finally defend this round, they watched Caron Butler dribble a step forward, get up and lean forward and throw a three-pointer directly.

"Brush!"

Kaloon Butler's three-pointer actually hit it!

All of a sudden, the Wizards' home court exploded! Joan Barry and Mark Jones explode! Yang Yi and Yu Jia also exploded! The Wizards' players exploded even more.

"Oooo

At this time, the Wizards' home court was full of explosion-like shouts.

"Wow wow!"

Barry and Jones shouted together, this Wizard beat the game to the gods, this shooting percentage is simply extraordinary, seven of eight three-point shots, is this still a three-point shooting rate, free throws may not be so high.

Yu Jia also exclaimed:

"The Wizards' three points today are too much, it's like a cheat!"

Yang Yi also shook his head again and again and said:

"This is not normal, this is absolutely abnormal, the three-point shooting rate is so high, no team can bear it! With this kind of shooting percentage, if they can still play like this, the Pelicans won't be able to play. ”

The majority of fans in China were also frightened by the Wizards' three-point shot, and their hearts seemed to have drunk cold water.

In a certain forum, the fans even exclaimed:

"No more! No more! If I continue to fight like this, my heart will fall out! ”

Not only is his heart about to fall off, but Van Gundy's heart is really going to fall off, and the Wizards rewrote the score to 31-17 in one go, which is a 14-point difference.

And the way the Wizards went crazy today is different from the last time the two sides did, the last time the Pelicans had a chance to pull back the game, but not necessarily today.

At this time, Van Gundy called a timeout again after replacing Kelly. Back on the bench, Van Gundy's side hurriedly arranged the defense:

"Li Feng, you go to defend Kaloon Butler, from now on we will focus on defending the three-point line. The mid-shot area is given to them, just keep the three-point line and the restricted area, let them shoot! ”

"Li Feng, you're going to play the first quarter, we need to pull the score back a bit, and now our priority is to shorten the margin and strengthen the defense of the three-point line. Don't let them play with momentum, let them shoot, our offense has to be efficient, at least make sure that the opponent doesn't play a fast attack. ”

Van Gundy, for his part, completely got into defensive thinking and didn't let the Wizards shoot threes. Don't let the Wizards attack the basket, don't let the Wizards run fast. Cutting out the easiest way to score, the Pelicans want to pull back the wizards who are now beaten with chicken blood.

At this time, Yang Yi also said in China:

"Now the Pelicans have to play hard defensively! This trick must be ruthless! The morale that the Wizards can't control now must be restrained, otherwise today's game will be over. ”

"Because it's the home court of the Wizards, it's not the home of the Pelicans. The Wizards are very demoralizing at home, and with a little cheer from the fans around, their morale is coming. In this case, the Wizards' offense today will definitely play well. The Pelicans are the visitors, and they have to start defending at this point. And you have to hold your mind and calm down to defend every round. ”

After the pause, the Pelicans also began to play tactical offense, and at this time the Pelicans had to be serious and had to put in 120 percent effort.

Li Feng, covered by his teammates, suddenly stuck in a low position, and at the same time, Kelly's quick pass hit Li Feng's chest like a cannonball.

Li Feng took the ball and turned around to get up to attack, and the Wizards were also amazing enough, Mark Webster came up and slapped and continued to foul Li Feng to the free throw line.

The opponent is shooting a three-pointer. The Pelicans rely on free throws to get by, which looks a bit miserable, but the trouble with fouls can only be reflected in the second half, and now playing a few more fouls on the opponent, Van Gundy also feels that it is worth it. Because in the second half, once the Pelicans played. If the opponent fouls a lot and dare not defend, the Pelicans still have a great bargain.

The team fell behind so much, Li Feng didn't dare to slack off when he went to the free throw line, and finally got back two points after hitting both free throws.

31――19。 The Pelicans still dropped by as much as 2 points.

The Wizards played here and handed over the basketball to Gooden on the wing first, and Gooden didn't have a good way to get the ball here or take Kelly. Kelly's defense is indeed relatively solid. The pace is not too fast but enough, the body is not too strong, but the basket is completely mixed, and the rebound can be stuck.

Gooden has no moves here, so he can only pass the basketball to Caron Butler in the back, and the Wizards still have to watch Caron Butler at critical moments.

At this time, Caron Butler took the ball up and pressed two steps slightly, and instead of forcing a shot, he passed the ball back to Templey, who passed to Gortat. Gortat took a strong step under the basket and also passed the ball to Gooden, who stepped back and dribbled a step to widen the distance between him and Kelly before getting up and throwing a three-pointer.

When the Pelicans saw the Wizards throw a three-pointer again, they were a little trembling, and Van Gundy's heart tightened all of a sudden.

Kelly is also crazy about past interference in Kelly's madness. Under the interference, it was seen that Gooden's three-point shot finally did not hit.

"Bang!"

The basket sounded with the sound of iron, Gooden missed the shot, and the Wizards' home court was a sigh.

But the fans at home are cheering, and the Wizards finally missed a three-point shot, which is not easy. The fans in China are almost going to tell each other, and they are celebrating each other, which is so worth celebrating.

Li Feng looked at it from behind, and Gu Deng finally didn't enter, and he also let out a long breath.

The Pelicans grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and finally came over for a good round. Previously, Van Gundy assigned the Pelicans efficiency first, so at this time, the Pelicans played very patiently in the Wizards' half.

Turner came over and passed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball to Turner to make a wall, and let Turner walk around him, Li Feng and Turner sang a little two-person turn, opening up some distance. In this case, Turner could have shot, but Turner didn't, and instead went over to get a foul from Callon Butler.

The Pelicans continued to cheat fouls and continued to rely on free throws to continue their lives, Turner is now very accurate and stable in three-point shooting, and the free throws are also very stable, coming up with two free throws and two hits.

31-21, the difference between the two teams finally reached 10 points, the largest difference between the two teams was 16 points before, and now it is 10 points, and the Pelicans fans and players finally feel comfortable to breathe.

The Wizards turned around and also fell into the Pelicans' defensive expectations, with no three-point shots, they had to go into the mid-range shooting area, and Mark Webster fired and scored two points.

The Wizards continued to score, and their hand was not weak, but finally there were no three-point shots, no morale-damaging fast breaks, and no basket scoring.

The Pelicans finally controlled the opponent at the last minute, and the two teams ended the game at 37-27 at the end of the first quarter, although the Pelicans still trailed by 10 points. But when the Wizards were so crazy, the Pelicans weren't pulled away too much, which was a win.

During the break between quarters, Van Gundy was on the sidelines telling the team's perimeter defense. Devouring novels

Van Gundy used nagging to thin the ears of the Pelicans. After this 5 minutes, the Pelicans' whole team kept echoing in their heads: "Outside defense, outside defense, outside defense like this".

While the Pelicans are desperately instilling outside defense, the Wizards are also cautiously making various adjustments.

The last time the Wizards played between the two sides, the Wizards were even crazier than this, and they still lost in the end, so today the Wizards are constantly warning their players not to be careless. Don't be careless, don't be careless.

Both teams were very cautious today and were reluctant to reveal a single hole.

During the interval, Barry also commented:

"The Pelicans didn't play badly in the first quarter, but the key is that the Wizards' shooting percentage was too high! This kind of shooting rate is abnormal, and the key to the next game will definitely be the Wizards' three-point line, and the three-point line is the lifeline of today's game. ”

Yang Yi also believes in China that the three-point line will determine the outcome of today's game.

In the second quarter of the game, both teams came back. It was the Wizards who attacked first, and the Wizards came to a bench lineup at this time.

Mark Webster dominated the offense on the court, and Mark Webster came up with the ball and made some more fouls. Take the ball and break up on your own. He clicked on it, turned around and threw a turnaround jumper.

Mark Webster attacked himself so forcefully, and the result was naturally a miss.

The Pelicans immediately received the rebound in the backcourt, and the Pelicans were also on the bench at this time. Turner came over and passed the basketball to Kelly from the outside.

Kelly took the ball at the top of the arc and saw his teammate cut downward, and he immediately passed the ball. Want to complete an assist.

But at this time, the Wizards' defense is indeed much better than the previous two games, Kelly's passing at this time was a little careless, and the Wizards immediately grabbed it and destroyed Kelly's assist.

After the Wizards destroyed the opponent's defense, they immediately turned around and quickly came towards the Pelicans' half.

Both teams played rigorously in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the defensive intensity of both teams increased.

The Pelicans were a little scared because the Wizards shot 8 three-pointers, and the Wizards were even more scared when they were reversed twice by the Pelicans.

Both teams are playing in a rigorous manner, and the defense is very fierce.

The Wizards stole the basketball, and immediately chased after it, and the Wizards changed the bench lineup, although they also wanted to play more rigorously like Wall, but Templey did not have this ability.

They inadvertently went back to the old way of individual singles, with Templeley coming over and passing the ball directly to Gooden, who took the ball and shot straight away as if he had done in the first half.

But at this time, the Pelicans' defense is different, and the Pelicans' defense is focused on defending the perimeter. When Gooden made a move, Thornton was frantically lunging out.

In this case, Gooden's shot was also affected, and Gooden's long-range shot missed.

The Wizards' first three-pointer of the second quarter finally missed again, and the Pelicans let out a long breath at this time.

It's time for the Wizards to finally miss a three-point shot, and all the Pelicans players hope that this is a good start, and the Wizards' three-point shooting can be normal.

The Pelicans slowly advanced this round, and Turner took the ball over and gave the basketball to Kelly.

Kelly took the ball outside the three-point line, and Seraphim, who came off the bench, knew Kelly's three-point accuracy, so he stuck to Kelly's body to prevent Kelly from making a move.

However, at this moment, Kelly suddenly made a turnaround breakaway, like a small whirlwind, two steps to the baseline, and threw a small throw to the basket at the baseline. Kelly's steps were really unhappy, but they were solid, at least there were no mistakes.

However, playing sports with the ball is not Kelly's characteristic, the basketball is big as soon as he shoots, and he flies to this side of the basket, and Henson, who did not get playing time in the first quarter, immediately flew up and grabbed the rebound in the front court, and then immediately wanted to attack the basket.

And then at this time, Henson's feet moved, and the referee's whistle blew for Henson's rebounding foul?

Henson's action just now is indeed a bit big, but this kind of ball is generally not blown. Now the referee blows Henson, which is tantamount to bullying!

Henson immediately came over to reason with the referee, and Li Feng also came over to put pressure on the referee, letting the referee know that the Pelicans are not easy to bully and can be blown casually.

Henson and Li Feng are applying pressure. But it is impossible to change the sentence. The referee still gave Henson a foul, and the ball was transferred to the Wizards' side.

The Wizards still have tactics when they play, and the team's running position is very good, but because there is no Wall to control the situation outside, they don't catch the best offensive point when they are running.

In the end, the basketball was handed over, and the backup center Humphries took care of it, and Humphries saw that the team's offense had stalled.

He also took the ball and forced it twice, dribbled with his back to one step, and shook it from side to side. Then I want to force myself up and throw a throw.

Humphries's movements are good, but his confrontation ability is so poor that he can't get up in front of Henson at all, and his forced offensive hand shape has completely changed.

In this case, Humphries's throw naturally missed.

The Pelicans grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and the table was not much better than the opponent, and quickly chased over, and Granger took the ball and turned around himself, wanting to play a beautiful individual offense. But today I was in a bad state, and my body was also deformed after the confrontation, and I missed the shot.

At this time, there are substitutes on both sides, and the offensive efficiency is immediately reduced. The main thing is that the substitutes on both sides are stuck in singles.

A player who is in good health can take advantage of any confrontation. He can do whatever he wants.

But a player is not in good health, and even if he has excellent technique, it is difficult to get offensive opportunities, because as long as he is in the confrontation, he is at a disadvantage.

In the second quarter, both teams started the game with a good run. But there were no scores, and both teams began to lose efficiency.

On the one hand, this is because the role of the substitutes is indeed not as good as the main team, and on the other hand, the defense of both teams has really improved. Under high-intensity defense. Both teams were unsuccessful in attacking.

At this time, Joanbari also said in the commentary seat:

"Neither team has scored so far, the Wizards' three-pointer is gone, and the Pelicans' team offense is gone. Both teams should step up! ”

Mark Jones also said:

"The Pelicans really didn't play well this time, not a team! The fact that they lack a backup outside scorer still can't make up for it. If it's possible this summer, the Pelicans still need to function well, even if they can defend it. ”

Mark Jones still pointed out the overall flaw of the Pelicans, but this flaw is not being remedied by the Pelicans now, and the trade deadline has long passed.

The Wizards lost two games in a row, and Randy Whitman's side was also a little angry, and the team's inability to score made him even more angry than not being able to defend.

Randy Whitman's anger really had some effect, and in the midst of Randy Whitman's roar, Mark Webster finally made a good pass.

When Humphries cuts to the basket, he passes the basketball directly into Humphries' hands. Humphries was already too deep in this position, and he took the ball back and scored two points with a hook hand.

The Wizards scored first in the second quarter!

Although the Wizards scored, it was not easy for them to score these two points from the court, and it was completely different from the situation in the first quarter.

Once the Wizards started scoring, the Pelicans also had a better appearance, the Pelicans played quickly, and Turner suddenly forced a breakthrough and actually cheated a foul.

Turner went to the free throw line, and at this time, the Pelicans took advantage of the dead ball and hurriedly replaced Li Feng. The Pelicans really can't do without Li Feng, and no one on the team can serve as the outside core except Li Feng.

The flaw in this lineup is the only fatal injury of the Pelicans, so at this time, the Pelicans can only let Li Feng work hard. Fortunately, Li Feng has now undergone a transformation, and he is extremely resistant to the game, and he is not very afraid of increasing the playing time.

Originally, Randy Whitman was not prepared to replace him so early, but when he saw that Van Gundy was really using Li Feng to death, he had no choice but to let Wall go up for a while.

The Wizards' current lineup has scoring ability, and what is missing is one person who can mesh these players together. Wall was able to accomplish such a task, so Randy Whitman was the first to switch Wall to the court. (To be continued......)
