Alan Anderson scored, Hollins nodded with satisfaction, and Jack went over to discuss with Alan Anderson that next time, the basketball must be passed to his own hands.

When Li Feng received the basketball from Kelly's hand, he knew that the Nets had changed their strategy, and these guys did not have a suitable assistant defender when they were on the bench, so when they connected the defense inside and outside, they did not do very well, and there would be a lot of loopholes.

Li Feng dribbled to press Alan Anderson, Alan Anderson belongs to the kind of earthworm that can defend the body well, but he met Li Feng, and it was enough for him to be depressed, the first two games have been pressed by Li Feng, and he has no strength to defend Li Feng's offense at all.

Li Feng dribbled up here, and the offensive vortex began to turn again, Pierce and Knight moved around the three-point line, Li Feng waited here for a while, and then suddenly began to rush towards the Nets' interior line.

As soon as Li Feng rushed like this, Alan Anderson knew that it was bad, this was not something he could defend, only sticking to Li Feng's side and keeping Li Feng into the inside, Hollins's Nets in the past two days, in order to cope with Li Feng's breakthrough, it was not without training.

As soon as Li Feng broke through, Lin couldn't block the front and protected one side, and then sent Li Feng into the inner line, after entering the inner line, Cato immediately came up to block the front, Cato was able to withstand Li Feng on the front, so Li Feng got into the encirclement of the Nets at once, and he was about to fight a war of annihilation for Li Feng, so he saw Li Feng throw his hand and throw it into the hands of Gejie in the bottom corner.

Pierce raised his hand to shoot a three-point shot, and then the Nets tasted the power of the Pelicans' two-shooter, hitting a three-point shot.

The Nets' bench came up with only two points, the first point was to seize the defense and not let the Pelicans and the gang of robbers steal points, and the other point was to catch the weaknesses of the Pelicans' uncoordinated defense inside and outside the line desperately cut in and changed the way. Let Bogdanovic torture Kelly's ankle.

At 3 minutes and 25 seconds into the second quarter, the Pelicans did turn the score over again, 22-18, the Pelicans lead, but they definitely didn't lead too much, because you just came to a beautiful long-range shot, or a breakthrough, and the Nets are going to have an empty cut, or a half-volley.

Van Gundy called a timeout to start the substitution, and the first to be replaced was Li Feng. Li Feng began to be depressed when he was replaced, the damage he brought to the Nets was too great, so today Li Feng was taken care of by the Nets as soon as he came up, it was okay on the outside, the Nets didn't care about you, as long as Li Feng went inside, whether it was a breakthrough or a shot, there were immediately several hands pressed on Li Feng's head, and the entire defensive focus of the Nets was on his body, and Li Feng felt that he was super depressed at that time. Whoever can't make his shooting work can only drill into the pockets of the Nets and be surrounded by the Nets.

The more Li Feng thought about it, the more depressed he became, it seems that he doesn't want to swing well in today's game. But seeing Li Feng walking back with a disgraced face, Lopez began to laugh secretly over there.

The Pelicans, Li Feng, encountered a lot of defensive pressure, but when Li Feng was under huge defensive pressure, he also had existing interests. That's Knight and Pierce, when Li Feng was oppressed and squeezed. These two were a series of cannons on the outside, which made the Pelicans' score suppress the Nets.

Knight wandered next to the edge of the three-point line like a ghost, he didn't know where he was going to float next, at this time Jack, who was following Knight, hated Knight, but he hated Hollins even more, why defend this guy by himself, he would rather defend the Tyrannosaurus Rex than defend this guy, say you are a shooter You run back and forth, you run, back and forth for a while, left and right, make yourself like a child hide and seek, hide and seek, but you are still fast, slow for a while, It's understandable, but it's too much.

Pushing yourself for a while, hitting yourself for a while, it's simply depressing.

When Jack was bored here, he saw Knight there suddenly accelerating and running to the bottom line, you can't chase it, you can only chase this guy, Jack spread his legs and chased Knight behind.

But after running two steps, something that made him angry appeared, only to see Knight stop again, and look back at the line, maybe to do a switchback run again, Jack was ready to turn back and run, but this guy just paused and ran to the bottom line again.

At the same time, Kelly's basketball slipped into Knight's hand, and Knight stepped over to catch the ball and shoot.

At this time, Jack couldn't stand it anymore, Knight's torture, he pounced on Knight fiercely, directly hit Knight's body, and knocked Knight there.

This time Knight did not score, but won three free throws, Knight walked to the free throw line, with a good free throw feel, easily shot three free throws, this time the Pelicans expanded the results.

Now I see that Knight is so aura.

Albert, who had watched the game for several minutes, was a little surprised at this time and said to Wharton:

"Bill, I'm sure you've noticed, I guess Knight is going to get a big contract this summer."

"Yes, yes, I did."

Bill Wharton nodded there and said:

"Knight has a lot of running positions today, it seems that every step he takes is a feint, and Jack who follows him suffers a lot, and he doesn't know whether he should run fast or jog, whether he should follow closely or loosely, if I had followed such a shooter, I would have done it like Jack a long time ago."

The Pelicans and Nets fought quickly on the court, and the Pelicans still held on to the Nets even after switching back to the main team.

At the end of the half, the Pelicans and Nets were tied at 51-55, and the difference between the two sides was not large.

At this point, Bill Wharton said in the commentary seat:

"I don't know if the Pelicans want to push in the third quarter or in the fourth, but now they're doing a very good job of controlling the tempo, like a long-distance runner, just following you at first, and then trying to win the championship at the end."

Albert smiled, and suddenly he wanted to embarrass Bill Wharton, so he said:

"Bill, are you really sure the Pelicans are leaving room for space, not simply not being able to pull away at all?"

Hearing such a question, Bill Wharton glanced at Albert with some surprise. In the blink of an eye, it became clear why Albert said that, so he smiled:

"You old thing, don't you know the current form, don't you really know."

Li Feng, who returned to the locker room, wiped all the sweat on his head with a towel, and then heard that Gasol was proudly reporting his work to Van Gundy there.

"Lopez had three fouls in the first half, he was in the New Orleans Center, and he really couldn't play as completely open as he did in the Barclays Center, and the scale today is fair, Mr. Van Gundy. I've reached the goal you gave me. ”

Van Gundy nodded in satisfaction, and then glanced at his teammates, Bill Walton was right just now, Van Gundy clearly knew that the game was like a race, we didn't have to use all our strength when the gun went off, as long as we could ensure that our team won in the end.

So Van Gundy cleared his throat and coughed twice to silence his teammates before he said:

"My boys. Today we should be proud of the Nets, they kept up with our pace. ”

"But then, I'm going to have an unwelcome dance for them in the third quarter, and we're going to change the pace. Not just offensively, but defensively we need to make changes, we need to be more sticky. I need each and every one of you to stick to them like glue, not giving them a chance, not giving them the slightest chance to attack. And then on the offensive end, I'm going to give you more offensive weapon land. ”

"In the third quarter, Paul, you continue to play, you are a future Hall of Fame superstar, if the Nets ignore you, I believe you will make that one regret it!"

Van Gundy laid out the Pelicans' offensive strategy for the third quarter, and then Pierce entered the lineup at the start of the third quarter.

The Pelicans played tepidly in the first two quarters, thanks to home-court advantage in the center of New Orleans, where the referees would contain Lopez's dominance under the basket whenever Lopez moved under the basket, so that the Nets could not bring death to the Pelicans even if they had Anthony and Joe Johnson.

But now that the Pelicans are starting to push in the third quarter, the situation is completely different.

At the beginning of the game, the Nets had the right to the earth, and as soon as Deron received the basketball and dribbled, Bill Wharton began to shout:

"Van Gundy sent Pierce in, and that's a sign that the Pelicans might be coming for real."

As Bill Wharton's voice landed, Delon had entered the half court on the Pelicans' side, and he immediately felt the pressure that Corey gave himself, Corey was very low, lying low in front of Delong, and then his arms shook back and forth very quickly, moving in small steps, shaking in front of Delong, Corey's sticky defense made DeLong feel very uncomfortable, and he wanted to break through Corey.

But when he looked up at the ground, he looked at the position that the Nets could have run out of the halfcourt, and in the third quarter they couldn't run out at all, the Pelicans put a lot of defensive pressure on the Nets, even if they were without the ball, they didn't want to run easily, and the scene in front of Delon's eyes was not the Nets' staggered running position, but a group of people turning on their backs, and each Nets player was enough to hang a Pelican player in front of or behind him.

And the pelican is like this, it also has a strong sense of protection in the paint area, and the trail left for Delong to break through is only half a foot wide, Delong thought about it himself, if he drilled through it in one step, he would have to tell the pelican to close the door and beat the dog.

For a while, Delon and the entire Nets team were a little unable to adapt, the Pelicans suddenly tightened up this defense, and Delon finally reluctantly passed the ball to Joe Johnson, and Joe Johnson forced a layup to create a foul.

But to make a foul, you have to be able to kill under the basket to form a kill, this Joe Johnson just cut out in one step, and Stephen Li Feng, who was assisting in the defense from the side, pasted Joe Johnson from the other side.

The two sides of the attack, Joe Johnson saw that David Lee in the opposite corner was a big vacancy at this time, but he had no passing angle here at all, and there was no way to break forward, so Joe Johnson wanted to turn back and take the lead.

But since Joe Johnson got into the Pelicans' big lineup, he didn't want to leave lightly, and Pierce knocked off the basketball in Joe Johnson's hand with a paw in the back.

The basketball landed, and the Pelicans, who were already crowded, immediately turned on their backs, and the Pelicans' Li Feng and Pierce fell to the ground at the same time, and at this point, the Nets players couldn't catch up.

Li Feng threw himself to the ground and passed the basketball to the hands of Corey who was startled and started to run fast, and Corey ran forward with his legs against Delong, Corey's figure and style of play are not very suitable for bombardment, because his three-point shooting is not very accurate, and the breakthrough depends on skill, not speed.

In this way, although Corey has been working very hard, but in the half of the Nets, the Nets still came back to the defense, and this time Corey hurriedly pulled himself to the side, waiting for his teammates to cut in from the middle.

As soon as Corey pulled like this, there were really Pelican players behind him who cut up, and Corey quickly didn't think much about it, so he stuffed the basketball over, and when Corey completed the pass, he was also a little stupid.

He actually passed the ball to Gasol, which made Gasol go to attack Lopez on the inside of the Nets, Corey felt unreliable when he imagined it, but the more unreliable it is, the more evil it is.

After Gasol received Corey's pass, he rushed towards Lopez in one step, and Lopez was nervous, so he stared at Gasol to make a shot, and then gave him a big hot pot.

At this moment, Gasol rushed in front of Lopez, and when Lopez was about to activate his calf filled with gunpowder, Gasol's wrist flipped and the basketball was stuffed straight behind him.

At this time, the camera shifted from the three-second zone where Gasol and Lopez were about to make contact, outside the three-point line, where Pierce got up and rushed over to see the arrival, and Joe Johnson, who ran past him, hurriedly turned back to take care of his defender.

But it was too late at this time, Pierce stood up and shot a three-pointer, and Joe Johnson, who was slightly short in stature, had no power to return to the sky, and could only watch the basketball quietly burrow into the Nets' basket.

It was only a three-pointer, but it allowed Hollins to stand up, because he knew very well:

"The meaning of this ball is absolutely different, Corey's incredible pass, Gasol's brilliant setter, Paul Pierce's sharp three-pointer, if Corey's pass is a bit accidental, the cooperation of the two old Paul is the accumulation of strength, natural play, which can be called a miracle."
