Thornton used his young body to keep speeding up the speed of running, Li Feng was also running slowly, the Pelicans didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, Li Feng faced Jason Thompson still ran the two simple figures, using the cover of the high and low positions, and walked freely, Li Feng still seemed to be swimming like that, but only Li Feng himself knew that when he ran in the low position, the shape of the 8 pieces he ran was already a lap larger than before, what does this mean?

This shows that you must be farther away from the basket, and the distance from the basket will naturally decline, which is an inevitable reality.

Li Feng finally reached a tacit understanding with DJ Augustin in the high position, Li Feng turned around and stepped sideways, attracting Guy who came over to make up for the defense, flashed back, Li Feng took advantage of this opportunity, and suddenly shot a shot, using Li Feng's best wipe board shot.

Got two points again, and the Pelicans still looked like they could score lightly in the king's half, but Van Gundy noticed two details, the first was that his low post was originally Li Feng's first choice for scoring, but he didn't shoot in this range just now, and second, Li Feng used a sideways posture to attack for the first time, which shows that he will change the way he attacks the basket.

Mike Malone's guess was completely correct, he would only rush to the Pelicans' half, and also began his own strategic intentions, the Kings kept reversing the ball outside the Pelicans' three-point line, and several outside opportunities, they were useless, and suddenly Guy launched a breakthrough.

rushed directly to the basket, Guy rushed very fiercely, Li Feng was going to go up to defend, but in the past moment, he suddenly remembered a possibility, why Guy, who is good at three-point shooting, wants to break through, why?

This thought flashed through Li Feng's mind, and Li Feng instantly had no reason. He stopped his own action of pounced, and just waited for the three-second zone to open his hands, and did not have an active defensive attitude.

Sure enough, Guy arrived at Li Feng, and even deliberately lowered his shoulders and waited for Li Feng, but Li Feng didn't react, and the ill-intentioned Guy didn't hit it at all when he saw that the plan failed to make a layup.

Li Feng turned around and grabbed the rebound, and after a quarter of the game, Li Feng's awareness of grabbing rebounds gradually increased.

Li Feng, who grabbed the rebound. He also smiled at Guy's malicious crack, and then immediately dribbled two steps, and Li Feng's dribble immediately reminded the king of the counterattack he had just made.

The team seemed to have received some signal, and immediately retreated to the back together, the king retreated in a hurry, but Li Feng stopped dribbling and quietly handed the basketball to DJ Augustin.

In this way, Li Feng understands what Mike Malone is going to do, playing such a slow-paced game. Both the Pelicans and the Kings have an Achilles' heel, how can I say it's an Achilles' heel, the Kings here, as long as Cousins is not on the court. Isaiah Thomas alone can't overturn the Pelicans' big boat, and the Pelicans also have a chance to score on the King's interior, and the Pelicans here, the players use it intensively. There are just a few people, as long as one person commits too many fouls, especially Li Feng. This tactic is completely meaningless.

Mike Malone saw this weakness, he must have explained his players, hit the firepower to kill Li Feng, hit the firepower to drive Li Feng off the court, and at that time, it was the beginning of the king's gradual comeback into victory.

The Pelicans get the ball, Li Feng continues to move in the King's interior line, Jason Thompson can't keep up with Li Feng alone, and Cousins can only shroud this area under the basket like a big tree, Li Feng still needs Marcus Thornton to come over to help defend, without Marcus Thornton Li Feng is completely equivalent to an ATM.

But once Guy came over, Thornton became a problem, and Jason Thompson couldn't let go near the three-point line, Li Feng got the basketball and saw Marcus Thornton, and immediately went to find Thornton, Thornton received the ball from the bottom corner, and attacked directly along the baseline to the king's basket.

Thornton doesn't shoot three-pointers anymore, a person who was originally good at three-point shooting, now he just doesn't shoot three-pointers, he just crashes into your home, the goal is obvious, to create damage, but the Pelicans are not demanding, no matter who it is, Jason Thompson, Cousins, Marcus Thornton, when one person goes off the court, the Kings have a headache.

Thornton was determined, but when he saw Cousins right in front of him, he threw the basketball into Al Jefferson's hands.

Al Jefferson got the basketball and threw it directly to the basket, grabbed the basketball and threw it at the basket, anyway, you either pulled him down or let him dunk.

At this time, Cousins couldn't let Al Jefferson do this, Al Jefferson dunked on Cousins' head, which was too much loss to Cousins's status, according to Cousins's thoughts, he couldn't afford to lose this face, so he turned around and pulled Al Jefferson off from it.

The referee immediately gave Cousins a foul and sent Al Jefferson to the free throw line, although Al Jefferson missed both free throws.

But Van Gundy was still elated, and Mike Malone also sighed again and again, because this foul is too important, don't forget that Cousins has already committed a foul before, this is the second time, if there is a third time, he will not play in the first half, and the Kings will not have any chances in the first half.

But this is an opportunity for the Pelicans, as long as the Kings don't have Cousins, the basket is the Pelicans' world, and those who have the inside line will win the world.

So as soon as Cousins fouled, Mike Malone called a timeout again, he began to instruct his players to protect the content, and repeatedly told Cousins not to foul, rather be patient than foul, as long as he didn't foul, as long as Cousins still kept under the king's basket, the king will always have a chance.

Mike Malone ordered so, in fact, on the other side of the court, Van Gundy's instructions are similar, he also asked his players to maintain restraint and reduce unnecessary fouls, especially Li Feng here, other players can help protect it, and in addition, the Pelicans' current score must cause damage, must kill to the inside, it doesn't matter if there is no chance to kill the inside, but to pass the ball to the outside, the outside players have less time, and it is also a continuous breakthrough.

The tactics of the two teams are almost identical. It's all about emphasizing breakthroughs, emphasizing interior killing, emphasizing defense, and now that the King's Cousins is back, the Pelicans' good days are over, and the competition between the two teams is who beats who is more miserable, who wins, whose defensive system is broken, and there are loopholes. The other side is the winner.

The game became simpler and more monotonous, but overall, the Kings had the upper hand because they were behind, Cousins had two fouls, Li Feng had no fouls, and Al Jefferson had one.

This has to do with Van Gundy's instructions, and the Pelicans paid attention to these aspects before the game. They were prepared, and so far, this has become the place where the Pelicans lead, and these have become the Pelicans' weapons to win the king.

After the two teams returned to the pitch. The style of play is very similar, and they are all very ruthless to insert the inside line of the opposite side.

In this way, the audience who watches the pure hand-to-hand combat where you come and go is only depressed, without any technical content, which is a charge. The Pelicans have Li Feng as the arrow of the charge, and the King has Isaiah Thomas as the arrow of the charge.

It's hard to look at such a fight, but it's very tiring to go.

Jason Thompson has already helped Cousins with two fouls. But Jason Thompson still insisted there, and when Li Feng was running, he felt that it was not a way to go on like this, and he couldn't make the Kings' players feel that they could impact casually, and they couldn't be stopped with a block at this time, they were all death squads, and they only had to use what they were most afraid of to contain them.

Li Feng thought of fake fall at this time, aren't you trying to lie to me? Then I will deceive you first, and when your cumulative fouls come up, I will kill and injure you instead, Li Feng made up his mind and did it.

After making up his mind, he carefully chose the position on the inside, chose a good angle, and made the fake fall reasonable, which is very important, and if it is not good, this is a matter of defensive fouls, and the position must be chosen well, and the action must be standard.

The Kings' basketball is still crazy to hit the inside, and there are many opportunities, but there are definitely not many particularly good opportunities.

Cousins grabbed the cover again, his fat ass made Isaiah Thomas's breakthrough as sharp as a knife, Isaiah Thomas dodged Ronnie Brewer with a change of direction, and then he got into the defender's gap, at this point Isaiah Thomas had only one way.

That is Li Feng, Isaiah Thomas came to find Li Feng, but Li Feng was not waiting for Isaiah Thomas, killing and injuring others did not kill Isaiah Thomas's most powerful way.

Isaiah Thomas rushed up all of a sudden, he faced Li Feng, Li Feng moved, Isaiah Thomas thought that he would have a head-on confrontation with Li Feng, and Li Feng would compete with himself like a man.

Isaiah Thomas jumped up resolutely, he was ready to compete with Li Feng in the end, but what Isaiah Thomas didn't expect was that Li Feng didn't jump up at all, but fell down like firewood.

Isaiah Thomas was stunned for a second, he really didn't expect Li Feng to do this, Li Feng fell straight on the court, but Isaiah Thomas was at a loss in the air, he ran the basketball to the basket hard.

But at this time, the whistle sounded, and as soon as Bavita's whistle sounded, Li Feng immediately went to see Bavita's gesture, which determined the fate of him and Isaiah Thomas, to hit people with the ball, to hit people with the ball.

Li Feng couldn't cheer at this time, but in his heart, he cheered, he succeeded, he really succeeded, so that Isaiah Thomas's fouls also reached 2 times, Cousins and Isaiah Thomas both twice.

This time the Pelicans have the advantage, the two main players of the Kings are two fouls, the form of the King can not make any mistakes, as long as there is a mistake, the King will lose an important player ball in the first half.

Li Feng strangled with the rules, the king's counterattack, Mike Malone stood up seriously, he didn't think about this detail, but this detail came over and strangled himself, and now he really regrets it.

After Li Feng successfully managed to get Isaiah Thomas once, the balance of victory tilted in favor of the Pelicans.

As the team's first breakthrough knife, Isaiah Thomas, when attacking the inside, inevitably has a trace of fear, the effect of such fear, which is not visible in normal times, but if you are facing a team that has been competing with you for killing ability.

That fear immediately took a toll on the team's offense, and Cousins looked depressed today, with him being tortured back and forth, and now the Pelicans' rats are still crashing into the interior. Cousins was simply overwhelmed.

Originally, Cousins had no choice, but after Cousins saw that Li Feng successfully got Isaiah Thomas, he also felt that he could actually do it, and if he was also afraid of those Pelican guys, it would be easy.

Although Cousins has not done such a thing, Cousins himself believes that as long as Li Feng can do it, he can do it himself, and Cousins also began to look for opportunities to make fouls at halftime.

And the person Cousins is looking for is none other than Li Feng, because Isaiah Thomas is the king's offensive arrow. And Li Feng is the Pelicans' offensive arrow.

Cousins' idea is creative, if he can really do it, he can really hit the Pelicans, but Li Feng is not as easy to guess as Isaiah Thomas, Isaiah Thomas rushed inside, in addition to attacking the basket is passing.

But after Li Feng came in, there were still a lot of follow-up treatments, he might suddenly turn around and shoot, and he might suddenly hook after the feint, in short, because Li Feng was much taller than Isaiah Thomas in height.

When it comes to the inside line, there are more options. All of this makes it not so easy for Cousins to create a chance to foul with the ball.

Cousins originally saw an opportunity, but after Li Feng got into the King's inside, he immediately turned around and hooked his hand, and his posture was even more ugly than the Spurs' Duncan. But damn it.

Cousins was only looking for an opportunity to make an offensive foul, and he didn't interfere with Li Feng's shot, and the basketball easily fell into the King's basket.

Barkley was surprised and said to his partner Kenny Smith:

"Cousins is a bit absent-minded defensively right now, and Mike Malone doesn't need him to contribute on the offensive end, just to save his body. But now this big lazy cat doesn't do anything when defending, I think Mike Malone may be distressed in this way? ”

Cousins' actions are a bit bizarre. Mike Malone really didn't pay attention, because he thought it was a sign that Cousins was feeling tired again.

Li Feng didn't expect Cousins to learn from himself, he was preoccupied at the moment, thinking about how to ensure his scoring efficiency, although Thornton hit the king a few balls, but the king still did not give up on his pinch.

After Li Feng got the basketball on the baseline, Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson pounced on him together, ready to form a two-man defense in front of him, Li Feng didn't shoot like a two-man defense.

So he simply chose to break through before the two of them closed the door and formed an absolute double defense.

Li Feng squeezed through the gap between the two people, and rushed directly towards the basket.

This time Cousins finally confirmed, this time he must have broken through, he must have broken through.

After Cousins got this information, he decided to teach his boss a lesson, he is not Harden but he also wants to teach the boss!

Moving towards here at a rapid pace, under the annotation of the 20,000 spectators at the New Orleans Arena, Li Feng and Cousins collided together, and at the moment of collision.

Mike Malone's eyes widened, what was Cousins doing? But he immediately saw Cousins actually fall, and it was a fake fall.

"Boom!"

At this time, the center of the New Orleans arena was boiling, and the whole stand was booed, Cousins really had no experience in fake falls, and he even had protective moves when he landed.

The referee immediately gave Cousins a defensive foul, and referee Bavita gave Cousins an annoyed look, which he thought was Cousins' contempt for him, and Cousins took a blank stumble but didn't get the result he wanted.

Cousins naturally rushed to the referee and shouted to express his disbelief, he felt that Li Feng also fell, and he also fell, why the verdict would be different.

Seeing this, Mike Malone almost fainted with a black head, Cousins, you are not the kind of cunning player at all, you just let it go yourself, why do you want to fake a fall, even if you want to fake a fall, it is good to change a game, and now you have two fouls.

Now that Cousins has abolished himself and the king, Mike Malone thinks that if possible, he wants to kill Cousins, a big idiot, with a pistol.

Barkley was delighted, and he kept laughing at Cousins' misjudgment in the commentary box:

"Hahaha, it's so funny, Cousins actually wants to fake a fall, but his fake fall is too unprofessional, now it's okay, the Pelicans don't have to find a way to get Cousins down, he goes down himself."

Cousins was still theorizing with Bavita, and the old man Bavita simply glared at Cousins, asking for a technical foul, and seeing that the old man was angry, Cousins himself walked away.

But at this time, the center of the New Orleans arena did not plan to go around Cousins, and Cousins' clumsy performance was replayed on the big screen, and his upper body did not move when he moved over, but the key question was that his feet were still moving?

And Cousins was too fake when he fell to the ground, after touching Li Feng, he used his hands to protect him when he fell to the ground, which is simply a match for wanting to cover.

In an instant, the Kings lost their biggest barrier on the inside, and the ball and the team's movement were back in the hands of the Pelicans. (To be continued......)
