Chapter 401: 4:2 Eliminate the Pelicans
Three-point long-range shot, mid-range pull-up jump shot, holding the ball to break through the basket and dunk violently.
Wang Feng has frequent offensive methods, and uses various ways to efficiently harvest points.
On the other hand, the Pelicans, on the other hand, can only rely on Zion as much as possible. Williams' offensive score from the basket.
Although Paul has a nickname of the king of mid-range shooting, the mid-range shooting score is quite stable, but that is only relatively, in fact, the ability to attack at critical moments has always been Paul's weakness, and the limitation of height is destined to Paul's defects in scoring, what really supports him on the court is his ability to connect games and assist teammates.
The scores of the two teams began to be quickly pulled apart with the break of the thick eyebrows brother Davis.
The Lakers launched a wave of 12:4 attacks, almost stretching the score to more than double digits, so the passive situation continued until the second quarter of the game Thick eyebrows reappeared slightly better.
However, the appearance of Brother Thick Eyebrows only made the situation a little better.
Davis is on the court, he can add a stable and efficient scoring point for the Pelicans, but it can't affect the Lakers' offense, and even on the contrary, the thick eyebrows, who have committed 3 fouls, can't help but be timid when defending under the basket, and don't dare to step forward to help his teammates defend.
Brother Davis's strongest thing is that he has good offensive and defensive skills, rich offensive means, both inside and outside, and flexible feet on the defensive end, excellent ability to protect the frame, and the honor of the three-time block king is not in vain.
Now that most of the defensive end has been scrapped because of fouls, it still has a serious impact on the Pelicans' overall defense.
The Lakers don't talk to the Pelicans about this martial arts, not only Wang Feng, but other players will also consciously take the initiative to impact the basket, specifically picking on the thick eyebrows Davis, it doesn't matter if he can't score, as long as he can make another foul, it will be bloody.
……
At the end of the half, the score of the two teams was 71:60, the Lakers led by 11 points, Wang Feng scored 24 points in the half, Ingram scored 12 points, and Jordan. Poole 8 points.
On the other side, Zion. Williams scored 18 points in the half, the most on the Pelicans' side, while Davis had 16 points and five rebounds and Paul had 13 points and four assists.
The shooting percentage and efficiency values of players on both sides are on the line, but it can be seen from the direction of the game that the Pelicans can no longer support the Lakers who are on fire.
As the game entered the third quarter, the Pelicans' situation deteriorated further.
Thick eyebrows brother Davis accidentally received his fourth foul of the game on Wang Feng as soon as he started, and he was only two fouls away from being sent off with six fouls.
Wang Feng, who has a foul making ability of up to 89, has indeed been quite good in his ability to cheat fouls, especially in the case of deliberately creating opponent fouls in the penalty area, the success rate is very high.
The Pelicans wanted to replace the four foul bushy eyebrows off the court to protect them, but this was the beginning of the third quarter of the game, and the Pelicans, who were in the trailing stage, needed the offense and defense of the thick eyebrows to stabilize the situation.
At this time, once Brother Thick Eyebrows is off the court, the score is likely to be further expanded, and I am afraid that by the time Brother Thick Eyebrows appears again in the fourth quarter of the game, the score will be so big that there is no way to return to the sky.
Therefore, after the Pelicans head coach struggled a little more, he decided to take the risk of keeping the thick eyebrows on the court.
It is difficult to say whether this judgment is correct or not.
In the third quarter, the Pelicans scored 33 points, while the Lakers scored 29 points, and the original 11-point difference was narrowed to 7 points.
But it's like drinking to quench your thirst.
Five minutes into the fourth quarter, Davis received his sixth foul on a basket defense, and was fouled for a full number of fouls in a single game.
When he got off the court, Brother Thick Mei's statistics were 34 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 6 fouls.
Anthony. Davis's fate completely declared the defeat of the Pelicans.
In the end, the whistle blew at the end of the game, and the Lakers won 128-120 at home to win the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.
The Pelicans' Big Three played well in this game, except for Davis, who was fouled with six fouls. Williams shot 14-of-20 from the field, shooting 70 percent from the field and 8-of-12 from the free-throw line, finishing with 36 points and six rebounds.
Even Paul had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, and scored and assisted in double figures.
The Big Three combined for 90 points! But he still lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which can't be helped, on the Lakers' side, Wang Feng's performance is even more explosive.
This is a key battle of Tianwang Mountain, Wang Feng did not dare to slack off, and went all out to score 57 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists, shooting 62% from the field and 48% from three-point range.
With the exception of Wang, the Lakers played well, with Ingram scoring 23 points and Kuzma scoring 14.

Surprisingly, it was Jordan. Poole's play in this game.
Poole has already had so many surprises for Lakers fans this season.
In Butler's absence, Poole became the team's starting point guard, and after a poor initial performance, he began to gradually adapt to the game and play better and better, gradually gaining the recognition of most fans.
In this game, Poole felt hot and directly became the Lakers' second scoring point, shooting 5 of 8 three-pointers, which was more accurate than Wang Feng's game, with 9 of 14 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 27 points.
Of course, Poole's excellent play on the offensive end is directly related to Wang Feng's attraction to the vast majority of the Pelicans' defensive focus.
His several shots on the outside were almost empty, and it was Wang Feng who broke through the attraction bag with the ball and then split into the outside line to catch and shoot.
The complete open spot combined with the purple ten-cent shooting attribute bonus gives Poole a god.
Of course, these things are unknown to outsiders, and most of them will only sigh that the Lakers are really talented.
It's just that the young potential players have Ingram and Kuzma, and now there is another Poole, and when Butler returns from injury, Poole can take on the offensive responsibility as the best sixth man on the bench, which makes it impossible to let other teams mix?
It is useless to sigh either.
The Lakers' current lineup is the result of Wang Feng's careful selection, which is an added benefit of the prescient advantage of being a traverser.
And this kind of traverser bonus can only be eaten once, because Wang Feng crossed in 2022, and it is only a little more than 1 year before he will cross the time point, and as he comes to this world, more and more things change, and the corresponding butterfly effect has also brought a lot of chain reaction changes to this time and space.
However, with Wang Feng's current total rating of 99 and the blessing of many high-level badges, even if he does not have the advantage of the Traveler's foresight, it is completely unimportant.
The Lakers won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the big score came to 3:2, with two match points in hand, and the Lakers have occupied at least 80% of the winning rate.
And then back to the home court of the New Orleans Pelicans, the Pelicans' big three, who fought to the death, still failed to recover the decline.
On April 25, the first round of the playoffs series G6 was played on the Pelicans' home court, and the two teams ended the game 114-107, with the Lakers in front and the Pelicans in the back.
The Lakers, who won the G6 game on the road, defeated the Pelicans 4-2 to enter the second round of the playoffs, while the eliminated Pelicans could only accept the result of the playoffs early.
In the last game, Wang Feng's performance was slightly more ordinary than in the previous games, with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, but he didn't get 40+, and his assists didn't get a double.
But within the Lakers, Ingram had a rare outbreak, scoring 35 points on 14-of-26 shooting. Lopez was also hot in this game, shooting 9-of-11 and scoring 20 points on 81% shooting.
With his teammates so powerful, Wang Feng directly focused more on defense and kept an eye on Zion throughout the process. Williams, who was exhausted by Zion in the first half, was physically exhausted, and his scoring efficiency was greatly reduced.
In the face of Wang Feng's defensive style of stalking at the expense of physical energy, Zion has not had a good way to deal with it so far.
With the blessing of three purple fatigue badges, coupled with 99 physical strength, Wang Feng's physical fitness is really too exaggerated, and it is not something that Zion can withstand at all.
