At this time, Van Gundy sat in his place, he clearly knew that his first step was successful, and then as long as it was smooth, the game fell into his own plan, and as long as Lopez came up in the second quarter, he immediately concentrated his firepower to eliminate Lopez, and Lopez still didn't have much time on the court.

The Pelicans will always keep the pressure on Lopez until the end when he leaves the court with six fouls, and Van Gundy has all the plans planned.

With Garnett not playing, today's game against the Nets is not as good as the game against Brook Lopez, as long as there is no Lopez, the Nets lose most of their rebounds and most of their interior defense, and the Pelicans are the masters of the game at that time.

Lopez came out late in the second quarter, and only appeared on the court in the 5th minute of the second quarter, which was already Kidd's limit, but when Lopez appeared on the court, the Pelicans immediately mobilized their heavy firepower group, Li Feng, Arenas, Al Jefferson, Thornton, these heavy firepower took turns to attack the Nets' interior.

Although Kidd sent Mason Plumlee to help Lopez share the responsibility, but Mason Plumlee himself was quickly beaten into 4 fouls, Kidd could only temporarily replace Mason Plumlee back, he replaced Lopez with a new bodyguard, this bodyguard is Mizatelitovich, but the role of this bodyguard is obviously not as good as Mason Plumlee.

He couldn't figure out his own defensive position on the court and tried to protect Lopez, so three minutes later, Thornton drew another foul when he rushed in.

The whistle blew, and Mizatelitovic hurriedly raised his hand to signal to the referee that this was his foul, but the referee had just seen it very clearly, Mizatelitovic was 2 meters away from Thornton.

At this time, the referee decisively gave Lopez a third foul, and at this time, the Pelicans' home court Conseca Center immediately cheered. But in Kidd it roared again.

His Lopez has only been on the pitch for four minutes, just four minutes, and then it's going to be over.

At this time, he secretly hated Mizatelitovic and then began to hate the team's management, if only he had a few more blue-collar workers on the inside, he wouldn't have to be like this, but now it's too late.

Lopez seemed very calm at this time, he quickly walked to the bench with his head down, and then sat there with his head down, this image is not at all different from what Lopez said before the game, at least until now, Pelican fans have not seen what means Lopez used to clean up the Pelicans.

The most thrilling tie-break battle in the finals. There is no fierceness as people imagined, let alone inseparable, the Pelicans seem to have turned into a slaughter for the Nets again, the Pelicans are like a calm and cold chariot, acting step by step, without the slightest hesitation or mercy, a little bit of cannibalization of the Nets.

The Nets are playing guerrilla warfare little by little, dodging the Pelicans' edge in various ways, and then waiting for an opportunistic offense.

At halftime, the Nets were in a stalemate with the Pelicans in the early stages, and the rest of the time they fought like a guerrilla army on one side.

Half time was finally over. The Pelicans led the Nets by a score of 53-40, and the Nets looked like they didn't have the slightest chance and the Pelicans looked set to get the coveted O'Brien Cup.

In the halftime, Van Gundy was still very careful not to give the Nets any chance. Completely suppress them in this game, this is our battle of Tianwang Mountain, and we are going to completely wipe out the Nets in this game.

At the start of the second half, the Nets' main lineup finally came back at this time. Point guard DeLong, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Anthony. Power forward David Lee, center Lopez.

The Pelicans' opening lineup is still point guard Oladipo, scoring guard Arenas, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Henson.

The Pelicans are calm and ready to continue their game, ready to sweep the Nets out of the house in today's game, but what they don't know at this time is that Kidd is also ready to use this short period of dying counterattack.

Kidd knows very well that their time is running out now, and even only this last little bit of time at the beginning of the third quarter their team can play completely, this is their own short opportunity, and if they make good use of this opportunity, the team will recover a little bit of the situation, and then slowly figure it out, but if he does not recover the situation during this period of time, then in the following games, his own difficulty will be even greater.

Kidd himself knows this very well, so during this period of time, he gave his team a very resolute order to give me a desperate offense, no matter what the cost.

And for Lopez, he has special requirements, and in the case of uncertainty, Lopez can let some opponents enter the interior line, which is Van Gundy's last instructions.

The Nets returned to the court, starting with the Pelicans, and the Pelicans collectively rushed to the inside when they saw Lopez, at this time the Nets suddenly contracted, and the contraction was very resolute, and the mid-range and three-point lines were left to the Pelicans, and they obviously gave up the important line of the three-point line in order to protect Lopez.

The Pelicans players saw this, and Arenas instinctively tried to fire from the outside of the three-point line.

Arenas tried to fire a three-pointer and flew out directly, in the absence of anyone, Arenas's three-point shot accurately hit the Nets' basket, Arenas let the Nets taste the consequences of letting go of the general, but the Nets don't care about this at all now, their whole team has become very dangerous.

At this time, Kidd is gambling, Lopez is gambling, the entire Nets are gambling, they are betting on their own luck, Kidd is a gambler who dares to bet on many times, and now his team is on the verge of life and death, he still seizes the last bit of time to plan to turn over.

After withstanding Arenas' first blow, the Nets immediately attacked, at which point the Nets players had a kind of slaughter in the noisy center of Conseca, a kind of determination on the fringe team.

This kind of determination made the Nets players more resolute, and it was time for even Li Feng to find more things in Delong's eyes. That's the final struggle.

Deron was obviously very active at this time, and so were the other players of the Nets, who were weaving like spiders between the top of the Pelicans' arc and the wings, and they weaved a big net, and these players kept going through the middle of the net, covering, running, covering, and then continuing to pass.

It's a complex half-court offensive element, and Kidd seems to be particularly good at that. Later, when he coached the Bucks, he still played this hand beautifully.

After continuous covers, Delon used the cover of his teammates to run to the bottom line, ambush the ball, receive the ball, dribble in one step, and then it was a crisp stop-and-go jump shot, the action was not beautiful, but there was a decisive monograph in every action, even in the eyes.

This kind of monograph allowed Deron to shoot exceptionally accurately, and a clean and beautiful stop-the-go jumper hit the Pelicans' basket.

At this time, not only Li Feng felt the solemnity of DeLong and the entire Nets' final decision, but even Van Gundy felt it, now the Nets' basketball is more monographed and more decisive than the first half, and if they don't shoot at this time, it is death, and they have nothing to hesitate about.

Bill Wharton also said in the commentary seat

"The Nets looked like they were back on the court in the second half, and the feeling was almost completely different from the first half."

Albert, as Bill Wharton's partner, said at this time:

"Bill. You have to know that this is probably the last game for the Nets, and they are destined to struggle, but this final struggle is also the most powerful and completely desperate to survive. Hopefully, let's hope the Pelicans can withstand the Nets' last blow to survive. ”

Bill Wharton said at this point:

"Now it's up to the Pelicans mentality. You don't have to wrestle with the Nets to win, but if you handle it stupidly, it will make the team chaotic for a while. ”

Li Feng dribbled, and everyone watching the Nets all shrank near the three-second zone, and this kind of defense is almost equivalent to joint defense. And it's also the kind of joint defense that locks the deadliest, and there are only two ways to destroy the joint defense, or a low-post attack on the inside. Either it's a three-point forced offense from the outside.

Given that Arenas had a good appearance on the three-point line in the last round, Li Feng immediately passed the basketball to Arenas, but Arenas wasted this opportunity, even Arenas couldn't hit every shot, this is a shot, not a shot.

Arenas' basketball missed a shot, and the basketball was immediately snatched in the hands of the players crowded under the basket by the Nets, and the Nets' backcourt rebounds were again, and the Nets, who got the backcourt rebounds, surprisingly did not use the fast offense to attack the Pelicans, but methodically advanced the halfcourt.

It's a bit slow for the Nets, but now it's even more intense to feel the Nets' final struggle, which is a powerful force, and the entire Nets are making the final struggle for this effort.

The Nets' offense still lacks the kind of player who can root in the opponent's low post in the half, and only with such a player can the Nets control the situation, but now the Nets' offense seems to be very stable, without an interior core, and their half-court offense is just a technique of running and reversing the ball.

But now the Nets have taken this technique to the extreme, and the basketball is constantly flying out of the hands of the Nets players, and then back into their own hands, and after a few fine passes, the basketball is suddenly in the hands of David Lee, who is near the basket.

David Lee is not the kind of inside giant that can be relied on at all, nor is it a strange inside demon, David Lee is just very versatile, with a long range, can be low and outside, and can even organize two shots, this kind of player is simply a treasure if he appears in a team's bench list, but when he appears in the position of the main power forward, it will make people feel like this first, no matter when this person is not enough.

But now David Lee got the basketball, facing Al Jefferson's defense, he made a move that did not belong to the big forward at all, this is not the key, the key is that David Lee seemed so natural when he did such a move, there was no hesitation at all, and he got two consecutive crotch dribbles from the basketball, both backwards, so Al Jefferson was a little stunned to watch David Lee juggle two consecutive backward dribbles in front of him. Then jump straight up and shoot backwards.

David Lee, the big forward, is completely playing with the movements of a small forward, and he is playing so confidently and fluently, which feels a little inconsistent with the current form of the Nets, but the real thing is that David Lee really hit this basketball, and he played it very easily.

At this time, whistles blew on both sides of the court, Li Feng glanced at Al Jefferson, and immediately went to the baseline to get the basketball, since the Nets have lowered the tempo, then he has a reason to do so.

Li Feng's ball control was not fast to suppress the rhythm, and then when he arrived at the half court of the Nets, he immediately looked at the inside, and the best way to open the turtle shell was to start with his most tender part. The first landing spot Li Feng chose was Al Jefferson.

Li Feng quickly passed the basketball from the outside to the hands of Al Jefferson on the inside, at this time Al Jefferson's position was not good, but it was not too bad, he was really a big step away from the three-second zone to receive the basketball.

It was on the verge of the Nets' shrinking defense, and Al Jefferson got the basketball, and he was immediately harassed by the Nets' players who were huddled in this small space, and attacking in this dense position required not skill, but a tougher, more aggressive offense. Al Jefferson took a backlog of steps inside, and he was immediately surrounded by the wolves of the Nets, and the besieged Al Jefferson struggled to pass the basketball out, and after bypassing several arms, Al Jefferson finally passed the basketball out.

At this time, Li Feng received the basketball outside the three-point line, and there were no other players two meters in front of him, at this time, Li Feng himself rose from the ground and threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

It's a three-point shot. It's Li Feng's own three-point shot, although it's not what he wants, but it's really a good opportunity for a three-point shot, maybe Li Feng's luck is really bad today. Maybe the Pelicans really didn't have a lot of luck today.

The basketball thrown by Li Feng hit the basket of the Nets very badly and then quickly rebounded back, Li Feng's three points were finished, and Li Feng closed his eyes at this time. It's terrible.

And that's not the worst, the basketball was quickly caught by the Nets players, and the quick dribble to the Pelicans' half, the Nets to the Pelicans' half again used the technique of passing the ball from the outside to the point of almost artistic Cheng Dù, Anthony quickly ran on the baseline, and then turned his head to make a mid-range shot.

At this time, the Nets have made consecutive offensive successes, while the Pelicans on the contrary have missed consecutive shots.

This is a very dangerous signal, although the Pelicans still have a temporary advantage from the shape, but this advantage is not obvious, and it does not reflect the Pelicans' interior strategy at all, and the consequence of this is that the Nets are fighting with their own offensive shooting percentage.

If it is like this, the final consequences will depend on God, this is not what the Pelicans want, the Pelicans' goal is to get rid of Lopez steadily, and then win the game steadily, this is what the Pelicans want to do.

And how to get rid of Lopez, how to attack the Nets' interior is the important thing, at this time Van Gundy quickly called a timeout, called his players back, he didn't want to make the same conniving mistake as in the first game.

All of the Pelicans players came back and sat on the bench, and then Van Gundy crouched in front of his players with a playboard and quickly drew a square in the under-the-basket area.

"That's the Nets' defense, and their defensive strategy is very simple, which is to give up most of the area around the three-second zone, which is a stupid way that looks silly, but it doesn't feel very good and effective in our hands."

"Now that we're going to beat the Nets, we need to come up with a strategy similar to a triangle offense, on one side, in one locality, to concentrate more troops than the opponent, and then speed up the transfer of players on the strong and weak sides, and then surprise the attack."

"And our offensive goals will be more clear, only the inside, our goals are only the inside, and the shooting near the three-second zone, if the Nets want to fight us hand-to-hand in a small area, I believe many of you will have a way, shoot in a more reasonable area, attack in a more threatening place, don't be afraid to play small, since the Nets want to play small, we will satisfy them."

"Defensively, the Nets mainly rely on the place where the ball is transmitted, so that when we defend, we pay attention to cutting off their passing routes, mainly Anthony and Joe Johnson, the two of them have very strong offensive firepower, and once the opponent has a dead ball, they will give me a hard grab."

Van Gundy quickly laid out the tactics, and then the game started immediately, the Pelicans players returned to the court, at this time Van Gundy rubbed his head, the head coach has two parts can only be the core, one is the tactical design arrangement, the other is the on-the-spot adaptation of the court, of course, it is also a very important lesson for the team's psychological adjustment.

But now my team is very neat, what is needed is not psychological adjustment, and the tactical training is also very complete, and what the team needs most now is on-the-spot command.

After the Pelicans returned to the court, they immediately played a tactic very similar to the triangle offense, don't think that only the Lakers are using the triangle offense in the league, in fact, some tactics are common to every team, and the triangle offense often appears on the tactics board of some teams.

The most important point of the Pelicans triangle offense as the triangle must be Li Feng, so Li Feng dribbled to the Nets' half court and immediately passed the basketball to Arenas on one side, and then immediately drilled into the Nets' three-second zone.

In this area, the Nets players pushed and pulled Li Feng, Li Feng encountered a strong defense, but Li Feng was like a small tank at this time, waved his arms, twisted his buttocks, knocked away the Nets players, and then directly forced to get stuck in the low position of the Nets, to this position, Arenas immediately passed Oladipo near the bottom corner, Oladipo hung at the low post.

The basketball immediately went to the hands of Li Feng in the low post, the basketball reached the tip of the triangle, and the Nets players immediately pounced on Li Feng, but at the same time, the positions of Arenas El Jefferson and Oladipo Henson were changing rapidly.

In an instant, Henson ran to Li Feng's top to pick up Li Feng, and at the same time, the other three players appeared on the other side, which completed the transfer of the strong and weak sides, but the Nets' defensive heavy soldiers were still on Li Feng's body.

This is the role of the sharp point, there is no strong sharp point, the triangle attack can usually be formed in an area to fight more and less, this is the chain effect caused by this super ability sharp point.

Li Feng himself was caught by the bag to see the route, but it didn't matter, he passed the basketball to Henson's hands, Henson got the basketball and immediately transferred to the weak side, Arenas, who cut into the inside line, stopped in an instant, stepped on the three-second zone and shot directly, Arenas was much more sure of this distance than on the three-point line.

The basketball landed comfortably in the Nets' basket, and the Pelicans completed their own triangle offense.

The ball hit, but the eyes of the basketball fans who were present, or the basketball fans who were watching the game at home, immediately twitched, this is the triangle attack that basketball fans are most familiar with, and now it has become a sharp weapon for others to clean up themselves.

Things are so strange, today you may be poor, tomorrow you may be prosperous, today you may be windy, but no one can guarantee what will become in ten years.

The world is actually changing very quickly, the Pelicans triangle offense finally cracked the Nets' tortoise shell defense, and Van Gundy smiled on the sidelines, but he himself smiled very proudly.

Kidd was a little helpless, he stood up and looked at the offense, and then made adjustments, this period of time was not long, he knew that he didn't have too long to drink the Pelicans drag on for too long, the Nets' strongest thing was the depth of the lineup, but the lack of the most critical Garnett, Lopez was also blown up, the current situation, there is a possibility of collapse at any time, and there is no strength to play a protracted war.
