Li Feng's side made a silent block with Kelly on the outside, and Li Feng hit the Rocket's restricted area in one step.

The Pelicans are now all musketeers outside, Kelly is also a cannon, and the Rockets' restricted area is stretched wide open.

Li Feng rushed in Asik desperately rushed back, and Morty Yunas also rushed in quickly, at this time Li Feng turned around and passed the ball to Kelly easily.

Kelly took the ball and fired straight away, and another three-pointer slapped the Rockets in the face. The Pelicans' offensive firepower in the second half continued unabated.

The Rockets have emphasized defense in the middle of the court, but they still can't prevent the Pelicans' lineup, which shows that the Pelicans' lineup is somewhat restrained by the Rockets.

The Rockets have to stabilize now, they can't play as aggressively as the Pelicans, so the Rockets come over and want to stabilize the inside line, but at this time the Pelicans are also playing very crazy.

Gasol and Kelly both fight with each other for the first point, and they won't let you take the ball when they come up, and you will be the card owner alive or dead.

In the second half, the inside wrestling match finally began, and the Rockets still had the advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and Mortiyunas's side immediately caused a foul on Gasol once he was desperate.

The Rockets restarted the game, and Harden saw that it was too difficult to get the ball inside, and he still had to come up and play. ran out to get the ball at the top of the arc, used a high block to kill the Pelicans inside, dodged and layup, and still scored two points.

The Rockets still used Harden to score, and their situation still hasn't eased.

The Pelicans came over here, and the speed was still very fast, and Corey took the ball and wanted to play a quick shot like in the first half.

But at this time, Corey only got the basketball, and Terry on the Rockets' side immediately hit Corey with his body, Terry is an old face in the league, and he will not be blown if he makes some small movements.

Terry made a small gesture to Corey at this point. The referee didn't see it, and Corey was finally stopped for a round.

The Rockets' defense finally succeeded once, and when they returned to the Pelicans' half, they really wanted to play a half.

At this time, the rocket wants to stabilize the dìng, so the ball goes very many times. The ball went many times, and Li Feng had a chance.

The basketball on the Rocket's side was in Ariza's hands, and when Atai wanted to stabilize the ball and pass the ball inward, Li Feng suddenly pounced on Ariza to defend tightly, and Ariza instinctively wanted to use his strength to resist Li Feng, but he forgot that Li Feng's strength did not lose to him at all.

Li Feng suddenly dropped the basketball from Ariza's arms and knocked the basketball off. Li Feng took the ball and turned around and rushed towards the Rocket's half.

At this time, the rocket's defense is very entangled, because Li Feng himself is a very strong scoring point, he can still score, in the first half, Li Feng mainly passes, and the rocket's defense is not pasted. It doesn't work if you don't post it.

Just when the rocket was here, Li Feng did not hesitate, Li Feng knew very well that it was his turn to perform in the second half.

In the first half, Corey had already caught his opponent off guard, and the next heavy punch should come out on its own.

In the middle of running fast, Li Feng suddenly made a sharp stop, took the ball up a little, and ran after Li Feng Ariza immediately jumped a small step. Li Feng let go of Ariza, Li Feng let go of Ariza, and Harden, who was about to shoot, also arrived, and Li Feng could only make another feint. Harden was also in a hurry, and flew away after eating Li Feng's feints.

Li Feng shook off two people in a row, and then raised his hand to shoot the basketball into the basket of the rocket, Li Feng came up with a very resolute single, which means that Li Feng is also coming in the second half. The Rockets haven't dealt with Corey yet, and Li Feng has to work hard. The pear is huge.

The Rockets are under pressure right now, and they are playing tightly. The rhythm is slow, and the rhythm is slow. When the Rockets get to the Pelicans half, it's basically a wrestling match.

In the wrestling match, both teams were very sad and difficult to shoot, in the repeated entanglement, it was Asik's side who got the ball and was able to handle the ball flexibly, Asik took the ball and pressed a good chance, and threw it to Ariza who was in the empty position on the bottom foot against the defense.

Ariza didn't shoot much today, taking the ball and making a quick three-pointer, and the moment he shot on his side, Corey's help defense was all over.

Rapid three-point shooting is not Ariza's characteristic, but standing firmly and shooting three-pointers is Ariza's characteristic.

This three-point shot Rockets didn't shoot, but at this time Harden was really desperate, Harden actually grabbed the rebound in the front court under the basket, Harden who took the basketball board turned around and passed to Terry outside, and at this time Terry passed a very wonderful pass, the basketball was stuffed directly from outside the three-point line to the hands of Morty Yunas on the bottom line, Morty Yunas had a small vacancy, took the ball and raised a hook hand Rocket scored two points beautifully.

The Rockets played this second offense, and finally played their own inside advantage, and it was just when the Rockets stabilized a little. The Pelicans hit the ball back with the ball right away, and the Pelicans hit it back this time.

Li Feng still got the basketball initiative to attack, instead of organizing the pass like in the first half.

Once Li Feng organizes the offense, Ariza is very difficult at this point, and now Ariza's strength is first-class in the league, but the corresponding speed is far behind, Li Feng takes the ball and accelerates in a straight line to the free throw line, and when he reaches the free throw line, Li Feng pulls up and jumps directly.

Li Feng used himself as Harden, and he did it himself when he got the ball!

The pressure on Ariza's side increased suddenly, and when he came up, he saw that he couldn't guard against it, so he simply attacked and knocked Li Feng down from mid-air at once.

Ariza was indeed ruthless enough this time, and Li Feng was pulled directly down from mid-air and fell directly to the floor.

Ariza violently violated Li Feng, and then subconsciously bumped into Li Feng, Ariza was using his body to put pressure on Li Feng, and he was also provoking Li Feng in disguise.

Li Feng was not angry this time, he was definitely angry! But Li Feng didn't make a move, but stood up and looked at Ariza and said:

"I'm sure you're going to regret the foul on me right away!"

Ariza is also a fierce general, and glanced at Li Feng with disdain:

"I'll wait for you!"

Li Feng did not entangle with Ariza, but was ready to use basketball to destroy Ariza, Ariza was actually not afraid of Li Feng, his way of survival was probably to promote his savagery everywhere.

On the free throw line, Li Feng adjusted his mentality. Hit both free throws.

The Rockets hit the ball again at this time, and the Pelicans were desperate not to let the twin towers get the ball, and Asik had to pull it out to get the ball outside.

got the basketball, and Asik couldn't shoot it if he wanted to, so he could only run it in and turn around and pass to Harden. The Rockets still have Harden to attack today. Harden was really good with the ball, jumped inside the Pelicans' seam, and then scored two points on a backhand layup.

The Rockets still look like they're still scoring at this time, but it's still not good, because most of the way the Rockets score now is Harden's breakthrough, which is not the slightest bit different from the first half.

The Pelicans' strategy against the Twin Towers now is to live or die and not get the ball from the Twin Towers. Harden can play with the ball, but he doesn't let you shoot, so he makes you struggle to break back and forth.

In this way, while containing the twin towers and consuming Harden, the Pelicans' defensive strategy is a good calculation.

At this time, Corey was suppressed, and Li Feng came out in the second half to take over the game. The game gradually evolved into a battle between Li Feng and Harden to grab points.

Although the game turned into a battle for points, the pressure on Harden and Li Feng was different.

Harden's side is a team that can't score points and the team is going to die, but Li Feng's side has plenty of space for Li Feng to consider a variety of playing styles.

The pressure on Harden is greater, and the requirements for mental and physical life are greater, but Li Feng can play more relaxed.

After the Rockets adjusted in the second half, the interior still didn't play, and the Pelicans didn't let the Rockets get the ball near the basket. The Rockets were not fully prepared, and they really couldn't get the basketball inside.

So. Harden struggled to pull the score, not allowing the team to open up too much of a point difference between the team and the opposing team.

This round, Harden finally found an opportunity to score two points on a raised hand on the wing.

The Rockets are still relying on Harden to score points. Li Feng did not show weakness here, anyway, he basically did not have the strength in the first half, and he was not afraid to fight with Harden to attack.

Harden took the ball, Li Feng ran over to get the ball, Li Feng took the ball and immediately commanded his teammates to scatter to the other side, and he wanted to beat Ariza on one side.

Ariza was very strong at this time, pressing on Li Feng's body. He still hopes to use his strength to control the situation.

But at this time, Li Feng didn't give him a chance to show his strength at all, and Li Feng took the ball and immediately dribbled under his crotch. Consecutive back hip dribbles and two steps back, and the space is completely out.

space once out. Li Feng was very easy to deal with Ariza, and then Li Feng dribbled under his crotch and took a step forward, when Ariza moved back, Li Feng stepped back and jumped to the side.

Li Feng gave Ariza to this step, Ariza really can't compare with Li Feng in footsteps, and after Ariza, Li Feng took advantage of the rocket's interior defense to not arrive, raised his hand and threw a high throw to score 2 points.

Li Feng fought Ariza again, and he immediately turned around and made a gesture of shooting to Ariza covertly.

Ariza was angry by Li Feng, but he did not have any advantage in defending Li Feng, Li Feng was not bad in strength, Li Feng was stronger than him in speed, Li Feng was stronger than him in bouncing, and Li Feng's skills were also more comprehensive than him, Ariza really didn't have much to do with Li Feng.

Li Feng shot Ariza, but the Rockets were under the most pressure from Harden, and Harden had to come up with the ball in response, and the score difference would inevitably widen.

So Harden came over to get the ball and immediately prepared to attack, Harden was under a lot of pressure at this time, but the Pelicans' defense was still sticking to Harden's body. Harden can't take the offense lightly, and the Pelicans are also very blocked inside.

Harden's difficulty at this time is even greater, he can only take the ball to face Granger's desperate back and forth shaking left and right, Harden dribbles under his crotch, turns around to dribble, and then turns around and steps back, and finally raises his hand A feint finally shook the defender away, shook off the defender, and Harden just wiped the board and shot the basketball into the Pelicans' basket.

Harden's goal is really wonderful, absolutely very exciting, but it makes people feel very tired, really tired, Harden is also tired after scoring himself, Harden is very stressed mentally and physically today.

At this time, Li Feng arrived at the half of the Rockets, and he still took the ball to single Ariza.

Ariza desperately intercepted Li Feng's passing route at this time, but here Corey hung back, and Li Feng easily grabbed the basketball with his bounce.

grabbed the basketball, Li Feng continued to dribble under the crotch to open up the space, and after opening up the space, Li Feng changed direction in front of Ariza with a double crotch. It's easy to get past the other party.

Ariza is a very scrappy player, he wants to defend Li Feng very much, but now he can't prevent it, and there is only one way left for him, which is to foul.

Ariza is actually a foul master as well. slapped Li Feng again and continued to foul, but at this time, Li Feng had already prepared for Ariza, and he knew that Ariza would definitely be annoyed.

So at the moment when Li Feng lost his balance in his body, he stiffened up and threw the basketball upwards with one hand. The basketball wiped the board and scored another 2 points.

Li Feng made a foul on the opponent and hit the basketball 2+1, Li Feng continued to have this kind of expression, and the fans in the New Orleans Center were excited again at this time, because Li Feng's performance time came again.

The fans began to chant Li Feng's name, and Li Feng won a foul on Ariza and scored. On the free throw line, Li Feng hit the free throw steadily, and after shooting the ball, Li Feng turned around and smiled meaningfully at Ariza, who was really depressed at this time.

He has no way to deal with Li Feng at all, and if he wants to deal with Li Feng, he can only fight with Li Feng, but if he really fights with Li Feng, I am afraid that he may not be able to take advantage of it. If Li Feng was the kind of thin player, Ariza would have fought with him a long time ago, but if he fought with Li Feng. Although Ariza is fierce, he does not dare to try it subconsciously.

Li Feng continued to single out Ariza successfully, and the Rockets came over first to try to pass the ball to the inside. After all, their advantage is on the inside, but now the Pelicans have defended their strength, and Gasol and Kelly are desperately trying not to let the Rockets' inside catch the ball.

Asik got the ball too far from the basket, and he couldn't fully use his various low-post skills when he got the ball, so he could only shoot a mid-range shot from the outside.

Fortunately, Asik's shooting percentage is still good, and he still shoots from this mid-range floating outside.

Asik's side had a good shooting percentage. But Kelly arrived at the Rockets' halfcourt and immediately returned a three-pointer to Asik, and Kelly floated outside to shoot a three-pointer. Asik's speed couldn't keep up, and in the end he still missed an empty space.

Harden put more pressure on him, and the Rockets then immediately called a timeout and replaced him with Josh Smith. But Josh Smith can't count on offense, he can only count on Josh Smith to defend and lead the tempo.

Josh Smith was transferred to the court and could immediately stick to Kelly, and the Rockets' tempo immediately increased, and Harden's offensive space was greatly expanded. It's much easier for Harden to get the ball and space again.

With more space, Harden immediately hit a brilliant goal, and Harden took a difficult shot from a negative angle on the baseline through the Pelicans defender.

Harden has really played the true colors of a superstar to the present, no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter what defense he faces, he can put the basketball in the opponent's basket. As a scorer, Harden has done it to the extreme.

Harden is a scorer against the sky, Li Feng's table is not bad, once again in the Rocket's half, Li Feng still came out to get the ball, this time the Rockets didn't dare to let Ariza defend Li Feng alone, no matter Ariza's self-esteem was super strong, the Rockets didn't dare to make a joke about the game.

Two or three people on the rocket assisted Li Feng in defense, and Li Feng was not in a hurry to pass the ball when he encountered this situation.

Instead, like Harden, take the ball and dribble under the crotch, dribble behind your back, turn around and dribble, and mix on the Rockets' wings.

Li Feng is so agitated, the rocket has no good way to take Li Feng, so a few people can only come together to trap Li Feng.

Li Feng was in the crowd, and suddenly turned around with a shooting feint, Li Feng's feint immediately deceived Terry who caught up, and then Li Feng turned around and came back and another feint tricked Asik opened his arms, and Li Feng scored two points with a backhand layup under Asik's armpit.

Li Feng is not lost to Harden at all in terms of scoring ability, and Li Feng is still consciously scoring with Harden.

Li Feng clearly has more opportunities to pass the ball and make other choices, but Li Feng doesn't, just scores with Harden.

Harden gets points, he also has to score points, so the game is very exciting, Li Feng and Harden fight.

Li Feng and Harden fight, not only fighting ability but also momentum, the Rockets are strong, on the one hand, the lineup is strong, and on the other hand, where is the luck of Harden's so-called strongest guard. If Li Feng can fight with Harden today and fight comparably, the advantage of the Rockets will be canceled, so Li Feng will not score again. It's about proving that you're no worse than anyone else.

What a strong person Harden is, he naturally feels Li Feng's mind of chasing after him.

At this time, although Harden was tired, although the pressure was huge, he still fought desperately to squeeze Granger and turned back and forth twice. Then turn around and take a step-back turn-over jumper.

Harden scored 2 points again with a difficult technique, and Harden has been scoring points on a high level of difficulty for a long time, and he is even used to it now.

But not long after Harden scored points, Li Feng chased the Rockets' half, took the ball and turned back with a relaxed feint, and was deceived by Ariza again. deceived Ariza, Li Feng stuck it on Ariza, and then got up and made a shot, Li Feng deliberately deceived Ariza's foul.

Ariza was not only deceived by Li Feng, but also shot by Li Feng. All of a sudden. The Rockets suffered another fatal blow, as Ariza had four fouls so far, and he had to be off.

However, after Ariza went off the court, the Rockets didn't have a better wing defender, and if they wanted to prevent Li Feng, they could only let Josh Smith come down to play the No. 3 position, and once Josh Smith played the No. 3 position, the Rockets' No. 4 position leaked out again.

The Rockets took the lead in creating a new hole in the roster, and the Pelicans, as a team that wants to achieve more, immediately seized on it. Choked the Rockets' throat, and Harden finally stopped in the last few minutes of the third quarter, and shot a few shots in a row.

Once this happens. Barkley said:

"The Rockets are finished today, they haven't taken the initiative from the opening to now, and now the balance of the lineup has been disrupted."

Although the Pelicans had some trouble in the fourth quarter, the Rockets were completely in trouble from the beginning to the end today, and in the end the Pelicans held on a little and won the first game.

The Pelicans won Game 2 and held on to two home courts. Naturally, everyone rejoiced, and the media in New Orleans celebrated greatly.

Van Gundy was also too happy at this time. Publicly declared:

'We're only two games away from the semi-finals now.

Corey is also happily chanting:

"It was the best moment of my life and I think we can continue."

The Pelicans media was also chanting at this time:

"The traditional powerhouses are vulnerable in front of us. The championship is right in front of our eyes. ”

The Pelicans are now blind and extremely optimistic, and winning two games is like winning the world, but you can't blame everyone because it's a game, and the Pelicans are really a little light when they win two games.

The Pelicans' side was tied after the Rockets lost Game 1. Harden immediately said unconvinced:

"We lost one game just because of tactical problems, as long as we adjust, we are still the strongest team, and we will surprise the Pelicans in the next game."

McHale, on his part, was also quite unconvinced:

"Van Gundy's adjustment was a pleasant surprise, but I'll do it accordingly, it's not that hard."

The Rockets are trying to downplay this loss as much as possible, but this side is not an ordinary loss, but a complete rout.

The Rockets did not do this, and after the game, the media around the world exclaimed that the Rockets simply lost to the Pelicans.

The media bombarded wildly, all kinds of news flew all over the sky, the Pelicans won such a game as if they were already champions, and the Rockets were criticized by all kinds of criticism, even the Houston media continued to criticize the Rockets' inadequacy, and the rest of the media sang about the Rockets, thinking that the Rockets had sunset.

After a game, the treatment of the two teams is completely different, this is the cruelty of the game, he not only tests a person's body and ball skills, but also tests a person's mental will and endurance.

The Pelicans' Stephen Corey proved himself again, Li Feng also played dominant in the second half, and the Rockets' James Harden also proved that his numbers are inversely proportional to the team's record.

Harden's number of seasons is so good that he has become a contender for the regular season MVP, and at this time, the Rockets' basic mark in the playoffs Harden's MVP is a joke, although the regular season MVP seems to have nothing to do with the playoffs, but everyone knows the facts.

If one day Harden can win the MVP, it can only prove that this blow has helped Xiao Hua blow a shot! (To be continued)
