Chapter 676 - Constant Response to Change

At this point, Vogel stood up from the bench, and the Pelicans just went crazy in the third quarter. That feeling was temporary, it was a natural disaster, but now the Pelicans have formed a system, blocking and dismantling, both inside and outside.

This trend is fatal for the Pacers, no matter how strong the team is in singles, the achievements are limited, but no matter how weak the team, if it can cooperate precisely, then it can not be sloppy at any time.

Li Feng and Arian Nastone Guò have found some sense of playing in such a round, and with the Pelicans' current lineup, if they want to play a single game with the Pacers, they have no chance of winning.

If the Pelicans want to win a strong team, only with a better and more stable cooperation is the most stable way.

The Pacers were beaten by the Pelicans, and when the Pacers figured out that David West had completed the strategy and came to attack, they were surprised to find that the Pelicans suddenly closed a joint defense. Everybody's gathered in!

Faced with this kind of defense, David West immediately passed the ball to Copeland, who raised his hand to the bottom corner for a three.

Copeland also hit a three-point shot, but the basketball fell to the bottom line, and the Pelicans immediately launched a fast attack, Rose took the lead on the right side and rushed towards the Pacers in the middle, CJ Watson followed, and in the Pacers' half, Rose came to Li Feng on the right side at the first point.

Li Feng saw the ball flying over, but instead of catching it with his hands, he jumped up and slapped the basketball into the hands of Al Jefferson, who was following from behind, as if playing volleyball. Jefferson can't match David West than he does in the halfcourt, but he runs faster than he runs, and he really runs much faster than David West.

After receiving the basketball, Al Jefferson stepped to the basket and directly smashed Huashan's strong dunk, and CJ Watson stepped forward to foul and was out of reach.

"Bang!"

Jefferson slammed a dunk into the Pacers' head, and then the referee's whistle blew.

also gave CJ Watson a foul, and Jefferson dunked and added a penalty, so Jefferson yelled at the court excitedly. Jefferson was very, very excited, and came over to hit Li Feng's chest again and again.

Li Feng was also very excited at this time, but his excitement was in his heart, because at this time Li Feng really felt some of the core true taste, which was completely different from his previous hard work.

Jefferson's free throws were still very stable, and he hit the free throws, seeing that the Pelicans' morale was coming up again.

Vogel was ruthless and brought George back up.

George returned to the court, and he again went to the left 45 degrees to face Li Feng in the opening period.

George three threatens to hold the ball in a standing position. But George's waist was bent very low, and Li Feng was directly supported far away with his shoulders and feet, and at the same time, his feet were shaking, and his elbows were also making passing movements, and Li Feng was already engrossed.

But George raised his elbow and made a shot that was still too fast and too difficult to judge. Almost without warning, George threw the basketball into the Pelicans' basket with ease.

George is really the anchor of the Pacers, and he can easily score points for the team when he comes up.

Al Jefferson took the ball and wanted to serve quickly. Playing fast break, but at this time the Pacers were prepared and came up to force Rose.

Jefferson only passed the ball to Li Feng, and Li Feng took the ball to see that the Pacers' two guards were in their own half.

He turned around and rushed towards the Pacers halfcourt. Scola also wanted to delay Li Feng, Li Feng first resisted Scola for a while, and then immediately dribbled behind and directly pulled Scola over.

Li Feng overtook Scola at once. There was a gap in front of him, with both of the Pacers' guards behind him, and Scola too. There was only one David West and one Stephenson left.

Li Feng rushed to the penalty area at this time, David West didn't have to save, Li Feng secretly sent the ball below and sent it to Li Feng who was standing outside.

Since the beginning of the third quarter, the Pelicans' hand has been fully opened, and now the Pelicans' style of play is also open.

The Pelicans are now focusing on fast, attacking quickly, conducting quickly, running quickly, and shooting when they have the opportunity.

Such a typical offensive style of play is making Vogel's side more and more headaches.

The Pelicans' fast play can offset the Pacers' interior height advantage to the greatest extent if the Pelicans continue to feel this way. Vogel understands that the Pacers need luck to win today.

The opponent who could have won safely now needs luck to win, and this Pacer has indeed paid the price for his carelessness.

George arrived at the Pelicans' half, and he wanted to go in and play the low post, but now the Pelicans are defending a joint defense.

As soon as George arrived at the Pelicans' restricted area ambush position, there were countless hands around him, beckoning to George.

No matter how good George is, he can't play five at a time, so when George sees this scene, he can only immediately pass the basketball to Copeland in the open space on the outside.

Copeland started with another three-pointer, and Copeland made two three-pointers in a row. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the Pelicans are now defending the joint defense, and on the other hand, Copeland feels better.

The Pelicans kicked off the baseline, and this time the Pacers didn't dare to press it, and harassed them without letting the Pelicans accelerate, and they retreated.

The Pelicans didn't get up quickly, only gnawed at the Pacers' position, and when it came to the stage of gnawing the position, Rose immediately thought of Li Feng.

Li Feng would have played a heads-up Scola in the third quarter, but now he has a new idea, this time he didn't play directly after getting the basketball, but dribbled with his left hand to the top of the arc, called Jefferson a cover, and then Li Feng crossed the Pacers' restricted area with the basketball laterally, and once he encountered harassment, Li Feng directly crashed away.

Li Feng dribbled the ball so horizontally that he immediately tore the Pacers' defense into a mess, and Arenas was originally a lewd guy.

Now seeing that the Pacers' position is messed up, he took the opportunity to rush in, Li Feng just gave him a pass to the ground, Arenas started a foul, and successfully deceived two free throws.

Arenas walked to the free throw line, naturally hitting both free throws, but Vogel hurriedly replaced Roy Hibbert at this time.

The Pacers still have to walk steady and rely on the interior to win.

As a result, Li Feng was depressed, and the person he changed his guard became David West. David West will put a lot of pressure on Li Feng, but fortunately, at this time, the Pelicans are guarding a joint defense.

As soon as David West and Roy Hibbert came in, the Pelicans immediately contracted desperately. Several people hit one person. At this time, because the Pelicans' interior formation was destroyed, the outside line was exposed again, and it was Copeland who received the ball and a three-pointer.

The Pelicans were shot three three-pointers in a row after switching defenses, which would have been a change in strategy if other head coaches had changed.

But the Pelicans' Van Gundy is not like this, Van Gundy's tactical level is not good at all, he and Vogel are a few streets apart, but Van Gundy's biggest advantage is that he has good psychological endurance!

To put it bluntly, this person is a relatively single, and he doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin!

It's a bit of a gamble. Now he saw that the outside line of his house was thrown into a sieve, but Van Gundy did not blink his eyes and did not call a timeout for substitution.

You vote, I'll let you vote. I'm just such a single, I'll fight with you. If you don't defend the outside line, you just block the inside line.

Van Gundy's strategy remains the same here, the style of play remains the same, and I'm just going to play like this, fighting with the Pacers to the end.

The Pelicans started to focus on the fast break. Once the fast attack can't get up, Li Feng will mainly intersperse back and forth on the Pacers' position, running back and forth, covering each other. Shoot when you get the chance, or cut empty.

At the beginning, Li Feng was interspersed alone on the Pelicans' side, and then Arenas also ran up, and then Al Jefferson. Ross and Li Feng all moved.

In this way, the Pelicans can run fast when they are attacking fast. When they arrived at the position, the people also brushed back and forth, brushing back and forth.

Such a fast run is still very damaging for Roy Hibbert and David West, and the two big men are indeed not suitable for this style of play, so the Pelicans' offensive efficiency in the fourth quarter has not weakened at all, but because of Li Feng's deliberate tandem, the Pelicans players' mutual cooperation is more average in offensive scoring points.

All five Pelicans scored, almost regardless of priority, and whoever had the opportunity made a shot.

Of course, defensively, the Pelicans are stubbornly defending the inside, and the outside is a bit of a blown up.

Although the Pacers repeatedly shot three-pointers, they were actually very uncomfortable being beaten by the Pelicans.

Because the Pelicans are so like a gambler to wrap around the restricted area defense, scrapping the Pacers' three strongest things, Roy Hibbert's low post kills can't be played, David West's interior flexibility can't be played, and George's powerful back-to-back offense can't be played.

The Pelicans held the restricted area so defensively, George could only put a mid-range shot, David West also became Nowitzki, and Roy Hibbert felt constrained.

The game reached 7:48 of the fourth quarter, and George made a three-pointer to overtake the score. The score became 102-103, and the Pacers overtook by one point.

At this time, Van Gundy's joint defense tactics should be regarded as a complete failure, and when Vogel saw George shoot a three-pointer, he also felt that Van Gundy should call a timeout.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Van Gundy just didn't call a timeout, the outside line was beaten into a sieve, and he resolutely did not call a timeout, resolutely did not adjust his tactics, and let the game continue to play like this.

Bill Walton has watched so many games, and he can't stand it anymore at this time.

"What is Jeff doing, now the Pelicans' defensive tactics have been proven wrong. The Pacers have already made several three-pointers in the fourth quarter, why hasn't he adjusted his defense, does he want the team to be shot like this? ”

Bill Wharton said very politely, and Joanbari also said at this time:

"Yes! The Pelicans should defend the perimeter, even if the harassment is more intense! ”

At this time, almost all reasonable parties, academics are complaining about Van Gundy's defensive tactics. However, Li Feng and the Pelicans players on the court were all bloody.

For the audience and the ball critics, the Pelicans are careless, but for the Pelicans' players, this is an almost crazy adventure, either you die or I die, or you are scoring, such a game makes their adrenaline rush and exciting!

So after George's three points, the Pelicans kicked off almost immediately, and Rose took the ball and handed it to Li Feng.

Li Feng has the greatest advantage in the fast break because he is facing David West. Li Feng, who got the basketball, also knew that he and his team were playing a game of life and death, so he took the ball and turned around and rushed towards the Pacers halfcourt.

David West also had no way to take the rushing Li Feng, his strength was not enough to prevent Li Feng, the power was too much, Li Feng cheated him lightly, so David West was very entangled. Li Feng turned around and passed the X-Men, and after passing the X-Men, Li Feng went straight to the basket and ran to Roy Hibbert.

Roy Hibbert was beaten by the Pelicans today, and he couldn't use his skills at all, so when he saw that Li Feng still wanted to challenge himself, he was even more angry, and he came up with a very big grab.

Roy Hibbert, a big man, wanted to grab the ball from the small man, and this center of gravity was simply not enough, so he made a shot.

Li Feng immediately changed direction and dribbled and leaned against Roy Hibbert with his back. Then the person squeezed under the rebound, rubbed the basketball towards the rebound, Li Feng scored 2 points, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded, and a free throw also came.

Li Feng walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw. In this way, the score is pulled back!

The pelican, an outlaw, pulled himself over from the other side of the line of life and death.

At this time, the walker is both annoyed. There was some fatigue, and the Pelicans' style of play made them feel out of their usual rhythm.

Except for Copeland, the rest of the people were very unhappy.

Come this round, David West. Roy Hibbert and George still couldn't squeeze into the Pelicans' interior, and only here they put the basketball into the hands of Copeland at the top of the arc.

With no one in front of Copeland, the three-pointer was like a training shot, and he even adjusted it before making a shot.

But that's what an adjustment. Copeland misses the shot, and the basketball misses. Everyone knows that three points are not a must-hit for every shot, and there are misses in training. In the game, due to various factors, the shooting percentage will decrease.

But now once Copeland's shot misses, it will cause damage to the Pacers, Li Feng jumped hard in the interior and dialed the basketball to Arenas, Arenas received the ball and turned the gun and rushed directly towards the Pacers halfcourt.

The pelican is the true nature of the outlaw, and he rushes when he has the opportunity, without hesitation. The Pacers are now twin towers and can't run fast at all, so Arenas quickly ran over to form more and play less. Arenas passed Li Feng on the right side in the middle, Li Feng passed to Rose who followed up, Rose received the ball and transferred it to Li Feng on the bottom line, and Li Feng started to score three points.

"Huh!"

The Pelicans' three-pointer hit again, and this time the points they lost in front came back in an instant. As long as the Pacers miss the shot, the Pelicans have a chance to launch a fast break, and launching a fast break is to score points.

The Pelicans and Pacers are now playing Russian roulette, and if you don't kill me with one shot, I can kill you with the next shot.

We are faster than anyone else, and we don't care about anything else!

The Pelicans are playing so crazy and completely unreasonable, as if they were the old Nelson's team.

At this stage, the difference between the two teams is still not wide, which makes Vogel a little unhappy. Playing like this is out of common sense, and it is also out of his control.

Just now George saw that Copeland missed the shot, and he also came to a stubborn temper, this time he personally handled it, and when he arrived at the Pelicans' half, he shot directly at the 45-degree three-point line.

The Pelicans didn't go over to defend him, so they let him shoot like this, and George didn't hit a three-point shot. George may be too angry because of his anger, and as a result, his mentality and feel are unstable.

George missed a three-pointer shot, and Al Jefferson, who had a dunk and a scorer in front of him, exploded and grabbed the rebound on Roy Hibbert's head.

Then as soon as he turned around, the Pelicans' fast break came up again, Rose was receiving the ball on the right, and as soon as he caught the ball, he immediately passed it to Arenas who ran to the middle circle, Arenas took two steps with the ball before George came up, and Arenas passed the ball to Li Feng on the left.

Li Feng took the ball and made a shooting action, Stephen Sun pounced on him regardless of his body, and Li Feng just gave Li Feng under the empty basket.

Li Feng also played one, got up and dunked with a change of hands in the air.

"Bang!"

Another dunk came to the Pelicans, and this time the Pelicans were in a continuous surge, and they suddenly led the Pacers by 7 points.

And the price for the Pacers to get this punishment was simply because they missed two three-point shots. This gambling is indeed exciting, both sides are a little careless and die without a place to be buried, and it is not all people who can decide the victory or defeat of both sides, there is a great factor of luck.

It's simply not a game, it's gambling.

At this point in the game, the clock was more than a minute away, and now the time was 8 minutes and 57 seconds.

There are only three minutes left for the Pacers, who are trailing by seven points at this point, and it looks like the Pelicans are going to continue the bet with the Pacers.

The Pelicans are not afraid, the Pacers can't do it, the Pacers can't afford to lose, and if they lose, the media will definitely make irresponsible remarks about the Pacers, so they are under more pressure than the Pelicans.

Vogel, despite being a very capable coach, had to call a timeout at this time.

Jackson called the players back, the first instruction was to shoot three points carefully, and the second requirement was to focus on the interior offense, it doesn't matter if you can't score, we can make Pelicans fouls.

Vogel wants his players to fight hand-to-hand with the Pelicans, that is, they fight you inside the inside, fight for free throws under the basket, and shoot three-pointers only if they can't do it.

Vogel's set began to focus on stability, and he didn't want to fight with the Pelicans for three points, but instead let the two teams enter hand-to-hand combat, so that they could be lethal and likely to win. (To be continued......)
