Granger passed the basketball to Li Feng from here, Li Feng had already reached the three-point line when he received the ball, and when he reached this position, Li Feng got up and shot another three-point shot.

"Huh!"

What made all the grizzlies collapse was that Li Feng hit the three-point again.

The madness of the pelican is still there, and the madness makes the grizzly bear scared, making people feel that the pelican is unreal.

The Grizzlies are good enough, the team plays very team, the offense is tightly coordinated, and the team defense is close to each other on the defense.

But the problem is that the Pelicans are beyond common sense, they are simply unreasonable madness, and the whole team has gone crazy. The rhythm of the draw of three points.

Knight, Granger, Li Feng, Thornton, the four players threw three points together, which was a blow that the Grizzlies couldn't bear, and the Pelicans smashed a burst of three-pointers.

The Grizzlies finally collapsed, and in the third quarter, the Pelicans soared to a high score, pulling away the Grizzlies who were also smashed in the score. Although the Grizzlies worked hard to recover in the fourth quarter, once the point difference was opened, it was difficult to catch it back.

Although the Grizzlies were desperately chasing, the Pelicans' offensive and defensive levels were top-notch, and the Grizzlies still had 6 points to catch up at the end of the game.

The Pelicans defeated the Grizzlies 125-109 at home, and although the Grizzlies also played a high score in today's game, they are still far from the Pelicans.

The final result of the game was that the Pelicans won, and it was a hearty victory, which immediately straightened the backs of the media and ball commentators who supported the Pelicans.

A lot of ball commentators immediately posted:

"Our tactics were completely successful and the ability of a championship-caliber team could not resist our tactical play, which is enough to prove it. Our new tactics are completely successful in the new season. ”

Pelican fans saw that the team even won the Grizzlies, and they were even more passionate that we could even win the Grizzlies, so that no team could stop us this season.

Pelican fans are completely forgetful, but the Grizzlies who lost at this time are indignant.

Randolph said sourly:

"The Pelicans shot too high today, over 50 percent three-point shooting, which is not normal! We lost a little unjustly. ”

Dave Jogel also did not admit defeat and said:

"The Pelicans can't possibly maintain such a high shooting percentage every game, and we're out of luck. The intensity of confrontation in the playoffs will not be like this! ”

The Grizzlies obviously didn't want to admit that they lost, thinking that the Pelicans were too lucky, so they had a high shooting percentage, so they could win.

The Grizzlies' view that they don't admit defeat and think that the Pelicans are lucky, in fact, many commentators think so.

Because the Pelicans shot too violently in this game, the violence was extraordinary, and the average team couldn't block it, and it was rare for the group to over-accurate three-pointers, in this case, it was generally believed that the Pelicans had an accidental convulsion.

The game is over. The regular season is also over, and the Pelicans occupy the first place in the league with a 63-19 record, and this season is fiercely competitive, with only three teams at 60 wins or more, the Nets 61-21 first in the East, and the Spurs 60-22 in the West.

Eighth in the West is the Houston Rockets.

It was the Pelicans' first-round opponent who was the Rockets.

Facing the rocket again, Li Feng was also interviewed about this matter for the first time, and when the reporter asked Li Feng what mood he was about to face the rocket, Li Feng's answer was very simple:

"It's been a long time coming!"

Li Feng has indeed been looking forward to such a series for a long time. If the Pelicans want to defend their title and achieve hegemony, they must also step over the Rockets.

Since Li Feng joined the West, He is destined to have grievances with the Rockets. Li Feng has long wanted to touch the Rockets in the playoffs.

After knowing the news, former Rockets head coach Van Gundy also said: "The best team of the Rockets, I think we are also the best team!" So I'm looking forward to playing against them.

The Pelicans vs. the Rockets are sure to be a tough fight. But at this time, the Pelicans players did not back down, and they were all ready to face the game.

On the Rockets' side, Harden also said when asked this question: "If you play the Pelicans." I think I'll take it easy! The Spurs are too pestering for these old guys, but fortunately they deliberately conceded the first place in the West in the end! ”

In response to reporters, McHale said:

"The Pelicans are a good team! But they are still young! Young people make a lot of mistakes, and we take advantage of them. ”

Rockets are so arrogant. also made the Pelicans very unhappy, and Li Feng quickly shot back at Harden:

"I'll make it easy for them! The easiest thing to do at this point is to go home and fish. ”

As a result, Harden was also unforgiving, and the two began a war of words from a long distance.

This war of words has also caused a lot of waves in China, because Harden is a star with many domestic fans because of the Rockets and his previous time in the Knicks, and Li Feng is the hottest player in China.

These two people have the most fans in China, and when they met each other at this time, countless online debates broke out.

In this controversy, Harden's fans were defeated!

Because only people who watch the game a lot, Harden's hardcore supports Harden. However, people who usually don't watch the ball at all, or people who don't know anything about it, support Li Feng for the simple reason that Li Feng is Chinese.

People who don't watch the ball and know a little bit of ball, that is definitely much more than iron, and Harden is also the first time that he has lost to other players in domestic popularity.

Of course, Harden doesn't care about these domestic situations, he stands at the center of the world, and his focus is still on American affairs.

The Pelicans and Rockets are about to stage the Western Conference Finals, and at this time, various media outlets have also come out to comment on the game.

Most of the superstar commentators at TNT think that the Rockets are stronger, and many of them have played in the Rockets, and they have witnessed the strength of the Rockets over the years, so they deeply feel that the Rockets are stronger.

Only Reggie Miller firmly believes that the Pelicans are a strong team that can be compared to the Rockets!

Harden has a good number this season, second only to Li Feng, Paul James, and Durant in the competition for MVP.

The media has only catalyzed the fight, and fans are looking forward to it, and the two teams are also sharpening their knives. In this case, the series is simply in the spotlight.

With all eyes on it, the Rockets arrived in the center of New Orleans, and the game was about to begin.

An hour before the game began, the arena was almost full. It can be seen that the fans are looking forward to the game.

On your side, Director Zhang and the Yu family also sat in the broadcast room early, and at this time the Yu family said:

"Audience friends! Here is the first game of the Western Conference playoffs, Pelicans vs. Rockets, Li Feng vs. Harden! ”

"Hehehehe"

Hearing what the Yu family said, Director Zhang also laughed:

"On the topic of which is stronger or weaker between Li Feng and Harden! It's been a lot of noise lately, in the newspapers. On the Internet, even on TV, there are quarrels. ”

"But it's hard to talk about! Both of them are very strong. Now the comparison is not the pure individual ability of the two of them, but the overall lineup of the team, the overall tactics, as well as the team's equipment and the fit of the two stars. ”

"It's a series of things, definitely not a one-person thing. If they lose this series, it doesn't mean that this person can't do it. ”

Director Zhang came up to talk about this matter first, as we all know, Director Zhang is a supporter of Harden who values it, and he is also a staunch supporter of Li Feng. It is also very difficult to get him to choose between these two people.

"Yes! Both of them were very nice! They are all first-class players, and Li Feng is the best player in our domestic record. At this time, Zhang will guide you to take a look! What are the basic characteristics of Li Feng and Harden? ”

Since we can't talk about strength or weakness, we can only talk about the characteristics, Director Zhang also said cautiously at this time:

"We all know Harden's characteristics! His nickname was Bearded. The beard was originally Barron-Davis' nickname, but this nickname is very apt for Harden, who is the kind of guy who can score with all means and is deadly. Very deadly scorer. Harden is essentially an all-around scorer! ”

"Li Feng! He's very tricky, he can play low post efficiently, and he doesn't seem to be fast at times. But once the breakthrough is decided, it is as unstoppable as lightning! The shooting is even more accurate, and the passing is also a particularly wide field of vision, and you can often see the position that others can't see. ”

"Li Feng and Harden are more responsible for the organization, the offensive shooting is not stable, and the defense prefers steals!"

"Harden is a well-balanced scorer who does everything. Li Feng is tricky, there are a few things he does very extraordinary, but sometimes it seems very ordinary! ”

Li Feng broke out by ability, so he naturally seemed a little unbalanced, and Harden was completely born, this is the gap.

When Director Zhang and the Yu family were arguing, on the scene side, TNT also sent a luxurious lineup to explain today's game.

Barkley, Webb, Kenny Smith, and Reggie Miller sat together to explain the game.

Normally, there are two people to commentate on the game, and sometimes there are three people, but today TNT got four people. This one is a bit lively, and when the four of them talk, it's like a group comedy, and the microphone is not enough.

Barkley was the first to speak:

"Fans watching the game, today we have four people commentating! It's all about balance. ”

Barkley was only halfway through the speech, and Reggie Miller said:

"Because Webb and I are behind the Pelicans, and Barkley and Kenny Smith are behind the Rockets. So we have to be four! ”

"Webb suffered the loss of the Rockets, and I can understand my strong support for the Pelicans! But why do you like pelicans so much?"

Kenny Smith questioned Reggie Miller in confusion, and Reggie Miller shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Because the Pelicans have a lot of power, they're young, they're the second-youngest team in the league, and in this situation, I feel like I have to support the Pelicans."

"That's it, but the Thunder are also young and talented, why don't you support them?"

Barkley continued to question Reggie Miller unconvinced, and Miller smiled and said:

"Because they don't want to make it to the finals, but I'm sure they'll be there one day!"

As far as TNT's commentators are concerned, two people have to quarrel when they meet together, and now the four of them have met together, and suddenly they see that these four people seem to be talking endlessly, but these guys are very interesting.

I can tell a lot of interesting details when I was a player, and these details are not known without being a player commentator. Tong guò these details. It can also restore the basic state of these NBA players.

So when these people talk, the fans like to listen, and the fans' curious mentality wants to know what it is like to be a player.

At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams came out, and the Pelicans were still point guard Correy, scoring guard Roteng, small forward Li Feng, big forward Al Jefferson, and center Pau Gasol.

The Rockets' starters on this side are point guard Jason Terry and shooting guard Harden. Ariza at small forward, Asik at power forward, Mortiyunas at center.

From the perspective of the lineup, the two teams have a certain similarity, they are both a point guard who can organize and likes to put cold arrows, a strong outside scorer, a perfect role outside, a well-rounded power forward, and a strong and tall center.

From this point of view. The two teams are in line with the rules of the playoffs, and all the matchups of the two teams are aligned.

Whatever player you have, I have a similar type. The line-ups of the two teams are very similar.

This kind of game with a high degree of lineup similarity is either devastating one team and immediately being eaten by the other. Either that's a stalemate, a very strong game.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a stalemate between the two teams is very high, and the lineups of the two teams have been reported at this time.

Weber immediately said:

"Let's talk about the shortcomings of the two teams in today's game. Do you think that among these ten players, which one will become the breakthrough of the other party? ”

As soon as Webb said this, Kenny Smith immediately said:

"Corey. His experience was so much worse than Terry's. At the crucial moment, Terry will surely give them a fatal blow. ”

"No, no, no, Terry is more experienced, but his speed can be a holehole. I think Roten is going to be a loophole, and Roten is slower than Ariza. He's sure he won't be able to catch up with Ariza in the fast break. "Reggie Miller is actually not satisfied with the jack-of-all-trades of Roten.

"Ariza is not a player with the ability to take the initiative and this position is not important. I would rather think that Aljefferson is a lot shorter than Asik, and the low post defense must be a struggle. "Ross Barkley himself is a power forward, and the first thing to look at is the problem of the power forward.

When they had finished speaking, Weber said on the side:

"Your views are so scattered that there is no unanimity at all. There's no way to explain it at all, so let's watch the game. ”

Players on both sides came on, Gasol and Mortiyunas went to the free throw line, and the referee threw the basketball into the air.

Morty Yunas took advantage of his height and first pointed the basketball to the Rockets, and Terry took the ball and pushed it up steadily, and after half the court he gave the basketball to Asik, who was at the top of the arc.

Asik took the ball here, and slowly leaned on Aljefferson to dribble, and then passed the ball to Ariza, who received the ball from the wing and sent the basketball to Mortiyunas in the low post.

The Rockets came over in the first round, very calm, very calm, not impatient, did not smell hot at all, and played the basketball to the low position first.

At this time, Mortiyunas did have an advantage in playing Gasol, Mortiyunas was taller by Gasol, and he was stronger and more experienced, took the ball and turned and shook a throw, and took the lead in scoring two points on the Pelicans' head.

The Rockets come up to play the twin towers first, this is the characteristic of the Rockets, and the biggest advantage of the Rockets' current lineup is the inner twin towers.

The Rockets came up to play their own strong points, and the Pelicans came over to play their own characteristics, and the Rockets only shot two points steadily.

The Pelicans bit the Rocket's butt and chased the opponent's half of the court at a very fast speed, the Rockets now have twin towers on the court, and the speed cannot be fast, but the Pelicans are usually fast, and the team's two big men, Gasol and Al Jefferson, usually run fast, so that although the Rockets noticed the Pelicans' speed before the game, they still couldn't adapt to it when they really got to the court.

The Pelicans chased after him, not as complicated as the Rockets, and the basketball passed to Li Feng, who made a behind-the-back pass to Gasol, who cut in the air.

Just now Mortiyunas beat Gasol is tall and strong, but now Gasol is just as fast as Mortiyunas.

Gasol, who got the ball, came over and threw a small throw directly, and he came to make a guard layup, so that the basketball rolled into the basket safely, Gasol didn't look big. But he has a guard's hand, and he is very good at attacking the basket, attacking the basket throwing, hooking, and picking blue, he is very good at it.

The Rockets just scored two points, and the Pelicans chased the ass back.

In the first leg of the opening game, the style of the two teams was very obvious. The rocket is still stable and fast, and stable and attacking.

The Pelican and the Rockets are the opposite, first fast. Then it is stable, and it is not fast to be stable, and the main point of the two teams is just reversed.

Both teams had good performances in the opening period, and Van Gundy and McHale both sat on the sidelines silently.

At this time, the game had just begun, and both teams were out of the tentative stage, and it was not yet time to make a move, and the two managers who had experienced strong winds and waves were also steady.

The Pelicans played very fast and energetic just now, but the Rockets looked dull when they came out of the baseline from the baseline.

The Rockets are attacking here. The pace is quite slow, and the game is also slow, with Harden taking the ball and Morty Yunas and Asik on the same side of the basketball court. So. The Rockets have focused almost all of their firepower on the strong side, and the Pelicans' defense must be leaning towards this side.

At this time, Asik took the ball and passed the ball vigorously to the weak side, and Terry on the weak side suddenly shook the ball and forced a breakthrough to throw a high throw.

Terry suddenly let go of the cold arrow. Instead, it was still very fierce, and Corey really suffered a loss on his side, and was scored two points by Terry.

The Rockets beat the Pelicans today and saw that they didn't go all out. I didn't use any ruthlessness, but I played well in the opening game.

Or are they more mature in tactics, and they also have a slight advantage in many positions, and when these smiling advantages are combined, the Rockets can play relatively easily.

Seeing that the Rockets were playing easily, Barkley was just about to praise the Rockets and belittle the Pelicans. Just look at the Pelicans' sideline kick-off shot suddenly and quickly advanced, and at this time it was Al Jefferson who advanced with the ball.

Al Jefferson dribbled two steps on his own side before giving it to Corey, Corey was very depressed when he was hit by Terry just now, but it was very easy to take the ball past Terry at this time, and he took a simple change of direction and put Terry still behind him.

Terry is indeed old on the one hand, and after passing the people, Corey is extremely cunning and ferocious to break into the opponent's restricted area, raise his hand and make a feint, deceive Harden and Ariza who caught up, and then stick to Harden to deceive a foul.

At this time, Kenny Smith said:

"Corey is smarter now, very cunning, and actually knows the foul that cheated on Harden first."

Kenny Smith's surprise is somewhat justified, Corey has changed a lot recently, but there is also a change in circumstances.

First of all, the Pelicans are a good team, and it is naturally easy to make progress in a good team.

Corey came back and cheated two fouls and hit both free throws from the free throw line. Li Feng high-fived him at this time to encourage Corey:

"Well done, keep adding fouls to them, and your mission is to blow up the rockets."

When Harden heard Li Feng say this, he pouted and looked at Li Feng, Harden was arrogant, and he didn't admit that Corey could threaten him.

The Pelicans hit both free throws, and the two teams reached 4-4, still a tie. But in terms of form, the Rockets are more relaxed, after all, they are an old powerhouse. The Pelicans are more energetic here, and the Pelicans are new after all.

The two teams are completely different styles, the Rockets are still elegant and unhurried again, and Harden takes the ball and waits on the wing.

Asik and Mortiyunas made a crossover cover vertically, Mortiyunas pulled out, Asik stuck to the low post, at this time Harden passed the ball, Asik played Al Jefferson did have an advantage.

At this time, Asik took the ball and dribbled easily twice, suddenly turned over and broke through to the baseline, pulled to the basket and made a rebound.

The Rockets came over and mainly played in the low post, and now they have three offenses, two low posts, and two successes.

At this time, Barkley was excited, and he said:

"I said Al Jefferson is a shortcoming, you see, he's really not Asik's opponent."

"The game has just begun, and Al Jefferson has his own merits as well."

Reggie Miller immediately interrupted Barkley. (To be continued......)
