Chapter 692: I Still Like Your Mother
The Pelicans played again this time, and Li Feng got the basketball from outside the three-point line again.
Li Feng just got the basketball here, and when he saw Wesley Johnson chasing after him, he immediately ridiculed Li Feng:
"Chinese boy, shoot! I love your shots. ”
"I still like your mom!"
Li Feng scolded directly with the ball, and then immediately lowered his center of gravity and took a sharp step forward with the ball.
When Wesley Johnson came up at this time to put pressure on Li Feng with his body, Li Feng immediately dribbled behind his back and dodged behind Wesley Johnson.
Li Feng changed direction across the line, Li Feng continued to change direction in front of Wesley Johnson, Wesley Johnson was not good at speed and turning, and after being bypassed by Li Feng for so many times, he was a little slow.
Li Feng suddenly accelerated at this time, and at the same time, his strength was also increased to the maximum, and he resisted Wesley Johnson with one shoulder.
Li Feng passed Wesley Johnson at once, and Jordan Hill, who came from the side to help defend, stretched out his hand to pounce, but when Jordan Hill pounced outward, Li Feng's body shrank and shrank very low, at this time Li Feng's extraordinary flexibility also played a role, and Li Feng almost drilled directly from Jordan Hill's side.
Just half of Jordan Hill's body, Li Feng let go, the whole person opened his body, and at the same time threw the ball up with his right hand, and the basketball simply rolled into the Lakers' basket.
Li Feng made a breakthrough here and scored immediately!
Director Zhang and Gary Payton said almost in one tone: Oh! Li Feng's style of play has changed, and now Li Feng has begun to break through, and this time the Lakers' test is coming.
After Li Feng turned into a breakthrough attack, it was immediately effective, and Wesley Johnson was immediately in trouble.
The overall defense of the Lakers is actually afraid of strong breakthroughs, Wesley Johnson is not fast enough, and Kobe Bryant is afraid of being injured and afraid of being injured. Shaun Williams can only limit the Lakers' interior players, although there are many types of interior players, but none of them can help defend. So the Lakers are not afraid of low-post offense, not afraid of shooting, and afraid of teams that can break through and run.
Li Feng scored the point, and Pau Gasol was not to be outdone, and went to the low post again to get the ball in the Pelicans' half.
Pau Gasol is in really good shape today, and the Lakers also regard Pau Gasol as the cornerstone of the team at this time.
Pau Gasol got the basketball on the right and saw that the Pelicans were about to pounce on the bag. He immediately made a quick shot from mid-range.
Pau Gasol still uses his best right side to spy on the jumper, but Pau Gasol is really not a fast gunner. It was too fast-paced to shoot, and Pau Gasol hit the hoop with a mid-range shot, and then quickly rebounded back.
At this time, Al Jefferson was accidentally grabbed by Wesley Johnson on the side, and Al Jefferson looked like a stout man, but he did a lot of work.
Wesley Johnson, who grabbed the rebound, immediately threw the basketball into the hands of Pau Gasol, who was almost close to the three-point line and took the ball for a jumper. This distance is not Pau Gasol's attack distance. But at this time, Pau Gasol's hand was hot, and he shot the ball, and the basketball actually fell into the Pelicans' basket with a sense of rhythm.
Pau Gasol made a series of moves today to pull up the banner of the Lakers' offense, and at this time the Pelicans were ready to come over and play again.
But Rose just came. The Lakers' defense suddenly poured out, frantically pressuring the outside.
Rose immediately passed the basketball to Li Feng, and Li Feng saw that the Lakers were also coming towards him with a double defense.
He's going to do the pick-and-roll, and then he's going to use the pick-and-roll. But the Lakers' defense is very crumbling.
actually didn't care about Al Jefferson, who was blocking and dismantling Li Feng at all, and actually stared at Li Feng directly, completely cutting off Li Feng.
Li Feng was very depressed and dedicated his basketball to Al Jefferson. As soon as Al Jefferson got the ball, the Lakers' defense arrived immediately, and the Lakers' rotation at this time was also very fast.
The Lakers are going to use strong defense to suppress the Pelicans at this time, and Al Jefferson is also a smart player who took the ball and immediately passed the ball to Rose who ran to the bottom corner.
This time, Rose dribbled towards the baseline and then threw his hand at Famargaard from a negative angle.
The basketball flew so high that it flew into the Lakers' basket with a rebound.
Rose also went crazy, and when the Lakers were playing well offensively, the Pelicans were also a little mad.
After all, it's already the second half, and it's no longer possible not to fight.
When the Lakers advanced back, the Pelicans saw that the Lakers were fighting defense just now, and the Pelicans also began to fight defense, and pounced on Jordan Farmar in the half.
Jordan Farmar had no way to pass the ball to Pau Gasol, so he could only go outside and pass the ball to Kobe, who saw that the Lakers' defense was very fierce. He didn't want to fight hard and passed the ball to Wesley Johnson in the bottom corner.
Wesley Johnson didn't care about it, there was a clear defense in front, and he also raised his hand and threw a mid-range shot.
But it's a pity that Wesley Johnson is not the kind of player who can shoot against the opponent's defense, and Wesley Johnson misses the shot.
Al Jefferson immediately received the rebound and then turned around and passed the ball to Rose, who made it to the Lakers' half. The Lakers still came out to defend and put pressure on the ball, and at this time Rose could only pass the ball to Al Jefferson, who came up from behind.
Al Jefferson took the ball and stood in a high position to respond, Li Feng ran over to catch the ball quickly, at this time Wesley Johnson wanted to intercept Li Feng, but he couldn't outrun Li Feng.
Li Feng went up to get the ball, and then turned back to dribble a step, Wesley Johnson was moving forward, then moving backwards, and his feet stopped for a moment, and just like that, Li Feng took a reverse step, took the ball and jumped in front of Wesley Johnson, and jumped to the other side of Wesley Johnson, and Li Feng suddenly got into the Lakers' basket.
At this time, the shortcomings of the Lakers' poor defense under the basket were revealed, Pau Gasol couldn't move, he could only stretch out his hand signally, although Jordan Hill moved, but the height was insufficient and the confrontation was insufficient.
Li Feng came up and threw a shot through Jordan Hill's head, and the basketball hit the rebound, and then fell into the opponent's basket.
Li Feng broke through again and succeeded!
Wesley Johnson followed and lost. In a sense, Wesley Johnson is not a proper outside defender.
He was too slow on his feet and had to make physical contact to be effective defensively, but now basketball is characterized by an increasing pace and an increasing emphasis on speed and full-court offense. Wesley Johnson is a player who is more suitable for basketball in the nineties, and the new century has eliminated him.
Li Feng scored on him again, and he didn't react yet, and Wesley Johnson also felt very aggrieved at this time.
It's even more aggrieved than fighting with Li Feng and suffering losses, because Li Feng didn't care about him at all, and he just cooked it in two or three clicks. This feeling of not caring at all. It made Wesley Johnson very uncomfortable.
Li Feng began to score consecutive points after using the breakthrough, and Li Feng changed his tactics when he realized that his shooting was unstable.
D'Antoni also saw that Wesley Johnson's defense was not very good at dealing with fast breaks, but now he has no one else to use.
Seeing that the situation on the court changed from the Lakers' dominance just now to a stalemate, Gary Payton said:
"Li Feng is really powerful, he has the ability to change the overall situation by one person. If he doesn't play well, the whole Pelican team won't play well, and once he plays well, the Pelicans will immediately improve. And the point is that the Lakers can't defend Li Feng. There's really no way to defend. ”
When Gary Payton expressed this emotion, Director Zhang also said:
"Li Feng's breakthrough is also very powerful. So it's not that he can't shoot, and there is no way to attack, on the contrary, if Li Feng keeps breaking through. If you keep playing low. The losses on the Lakers' side could be even greater! ”
The Lakers also felt the tension of the game at this time, and when it came to the Pelicans' half, they also played very rigorously.
The people on the Pelicans' side just saw that Pau Gasol played well and desperately entangled Pau Gasol, so that Jordan Hill on the side had a chance. Jordan Hill ran around to get the ball and wanted to pass it to Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner.
Al Jefferson saw that Jordan Hill was about to pass the ball and reached over to catch it, but Jordan Hill didn't pass the ball instead. Raise your hand and throw a middle distance.
Jordan Hill's basket was also shot!
The Lakers' offense also opened up at this time, originally the Lakers were a half-court offensive team, but now they shoot desperately, like an offensive team, follow the opponent to attack, but just like that, the Lakers can still score.
The idea of the Lakers team building must be the half-court position and defense-oriented, but in the later stage, the Lakers do play more like an offensive team, and the victory basically depends on offense, and the Lakers have deviated from the original intention, playing offense with half-court defense, which is the gorgeous Princeton of the old king, not the current Lakers' configuration can play. But the Lakers can't defend a lot of the time, and they can only drink doves to quench their thirst and use offense to win.
When Pau Gasol said that we were an attacking team during the winning streak, he also said it in a joking way.
But just when the Lakers were just catching their breath, the Pelicans' backcourt ball suddenly kicked out.
The Lakers are not a particularly strong team defensively, and this is when the Pelicans found a gap and suddenly kicked off.
The Lakers didn't even see the hair, just saw that Al Jefferson had already sent the ball to the middle line with a pass, and Rose on the middle line took the ball with one hand, and Li Feng, who followed up from behind, went to the Lakers' basket in one step.
At this position, only Jordan Farmar followed in front, and Jordan Farmar reached out to foul Li Feng.
Li Feng took the ball and swung it horizontally in the air, Li Feng flew directly from Jordan Farmar's side, Jordan Farmar did not touch Li Feng's hand, and then Li Feng directly dunked the basketball into the Lakers' basket with a one-handed dunk.
The Lakers can attack, the Pelicans can attack more and play faster. Lightning-like, the Pelicans scored points.
The Lakers suffered a loss, and immediately took the ball and pushed back, Kobe Bryant took the ball and used Pau Gasol's cover to get rid of Li Feng at once, and rushed to the Pelicans' restricted area in one step, raising his hand and throwing a high-flying layup.
Kobe Bryant's move was good, but he hadn't taken the initiative to attack the basket for too long, and he missed the layup at this time.
Just when Kobe Bryant was about to get up under the basket to make up for it, Pau Gasol behind him came, Pau Gasol was tall, and he didn't need to make any moves to get up and click on it.
Pau Gasol put the basketball in the Pelicans' basket, and the Lakers and Pelicans both went back and forth.
In the third quarter, the score was a rapid spike, and both teams were biting the score. That's when the Pelicans came again.
Rose seized the opportunity and used the pick-and-roll to shake off Jordan Farmar to a mid-range, but Rose's hand was also up and down, and this time he didn't shoot at all.
The basketball rebounded, and the Lakers immediately went to the position to attack, but at this time the Lakers' position was not easy to play.
Pau Gasol was watched, Kobe Bryant was also afraid to exert force, at this time the Lakers relied on role players, and Wesley Johnson came up again at this time to play strongly, but the result was still missed.
The Pelicans and Lakers are in the midst of back-to-back scoring. Finally there was a stagnation, and it was a short period of stagnation, about four or five rounds, and neither side went back and forth without scoring.
At this time, a wave of attacks is over, and a wave has not yet risen. Tim Hardaway said:
"Now the game has entered a stalemate, and whoever can take the lead in recovering the attack and pressing the opponent in this stage will have an absolute advantage."
Just as Tim Hardaway said this, the Pelicans came up quickly. Li Feng took the ball and broke through directly to the Lakers' basket.
At this time, the Lakers' defense had already noticed Li Feng, and as soon as Li Feng came up, there were three people to wrap Li Feng.
Li Feng twisted a big angle on the side of his body in the bag of three people. dodged the blockade of a large group of Lakers, and then handed the basketball directly to Al Jefferson on the baseline, Al Jefferson took the ball and stepped up, got up and dunked to end the battle.
Li Feng can still complete this kind of pass in the crowd. The body can twist a huge angle and the quality of the pass is so high.
Li Feng at this moment, with the appearance of superman. The previous deadlock between the two teams was broken.
Once this deadlock was broken, the Lakers immediately turned around and wanted to counterattack the Pelicans, but the Lakers' disadvantage came out at this time, and they couldn't play fast attack, and once Pau Gasol fell into hand-to-hand combat, the arrow of the attack was not obvious.
Kobe, who served as the team's offensive arrow before, did not dare to amplify his actions at this time, and he did not play the ball strongly, but passed a wonderful pass to quickly send the basketball to the bottom line.
Kobe's pass was very wonderful, so wonderful that his teammates did not react at all, and the basketball passed Jordan Farmar was a little unresponsive, reaching out and subconsciously touching, but the basketball was out of bounds.
The Lakers went out of bounds, and the ball returned to the Pelicans, but the pace on the Pelicans' side was getting faster and faster.
Al Jefferson threw the basketball out on the sideline, and the moment Li Feng got the ball, he ran directly towards the Lakers' halfcourt.
At this time, Wesley Johnson wanted to use his body to delay Li Feng's speed, but he couldn't do it at all, because although he had the strength to fight Li Feng, he couldn't keep up with Li Feng's speed under his feet.
Li Feng took the ball to resist Wesley Johnson's fast run forward, Wesley Johnson couldn't keep up with him, and he saw that he couldn't keep up with his opponent.
Wesley Johnson reached out directly to foul, and Li Feng could also see what Wesley Johnson was doing! He got straight up, resisted Wesley Johnson's foul, and stiffened himself to the basket with a running shot.
Li Feng was dying before being fouled, but Li Feng actually hit it at once.
With the referee's whistle, Li Feng's ball also spun around on the hoop and fell. Wesley Johnson's foul did not stop Li Feng, and the fans at the New Orleans Arena cheered.
Boom Boom! The New Orleans Arena was a cry, and in the midst of the call, Li Feng stretched out his hands to the court.
And the cheers from the entire arena in New Orleans, which is the home of the Pelicans, are even louder. Li Feng hit a good ball, and the whole audience immediately raised the team's morale with enthusiasm.
Wesley Johnson was also very temperless by Li Feng on the side at this time, Li Feng and Wesley Johnson still had a vindictive element in the first half, but now Li Feng is a little bit of vindictiveness is gone, he just fights normally, but in this state, he can't stop it.
The Pelicans' morale gradually rose on the sidelines, and the Lakers began to really start to exert their strength at this time.
The ball advanced over, and although it was very difficult for Pau Gasol to receive the ball, the Lakers still passed the basketball to Pau Gasol's hands.
Pau Gasol saw the Pelicans' bag come this time, and he still hit the basket hard.
At this time, Li Feng went over to break the ball and swept it to Pau Gasol's arm, and the referee immediately gave Li Feng a foul.
Li Feng had another foul on his back, and Pau Gasol hit two free throws on the free throw line, but this time Li Feng was at a loss, and he made a foul on his back and let the opponent score two points.
The Pelicans still wanted to kick off quickly at this time, and then quickly advance to the past, but at this time, the Lakers finally came up and delayed a pass, and the Pelicans' quick counterattack did not come out, and Rose could only slowly advance up.
When Rose finally reached the Lakers' half, the Lakers put pressure on Rose again, and at the same time staged Li Feng's route to receive the ball.
At this time, Li Feng saw that the situation was not good, and he immediately ran towards the bottom line, and Arenas went up to catch the ball.
As soon as Li Feng saw that Arenas had got the ball, he immediately went around in a small circle, turned around and ran back to catch the ball.
Arenas watched Li Feng run back and forth at a rapid pace, and Arenas knew that Li Feng's desire to score points was very strong, so as soon as he saw Li Feng coming back, he immediately passed the ball to Li Feng. Li Feng received the ball, shook his arm, and then dribbled twice under his crotch, his body swayed left and right, and Wesley Johnson was weak at his feet and was shaken by Li Feng when he didn't know how to move.
Li Feng suddenly broke through to the middle in one step, Li Feng's step was really fast, and the rhythm of his whole body was completely different from other players.
Li Feng came up in one step, and at the same time, his body tensed, full of strength, and he resisted Wesley Johnson at once, and cut through the Lakers' defense in one step.
The Lakers' defense was like a casual cut like cream in Li Feng's eyes, and at this time, Wesley Johnson couldn't stand being tortured by Li Feng, so he grabbed Li Feng from behind. He fouled all of a sudden, but it was too late, Li Feng came up and changed hands to hand the basketball to You's right hand, and took the ball with his right hand and threw a long-distance shot upward.
The referee's whistle blows, and the basketball wins!
Li Feng played another two-plus-one, which was unstoppable, and the New Orleans Arena couldn't bear it at once, and the whole audience was shouting.
After Li Feng scored, he also raised his hands towards the New Orleans Arena, and in the long cheers, Li Feng walked to the free throw line. (To be continued......)
