The Pelicans once again entered the Trail Blazers' position, and Arenas also made a high cover with Li Feng on the right wing.

With Li Feng's cover, Arenas went deep into the interior line of the Trailblazers, and he didn't force a strong hit in the face of the bag, and broke through half or passed the ball to Li Feng who pulled out behind.

Li Feng took over the basketball. When I looked up and saw that it was Matthews in front of me, after the cover, Li Feng has now changed the defender, and Matthews, who originally defended Arenas, is now defending Li Feng.

This is also a kind of misalignment, Li Feng is very aware of Matthews' disadvantages and his own advantages, Li Feng, who took over the basketball, did not hesitate to turn his body sideways and eat Matthews directly with his back, as if Matthews had just passed Li Feng lightly, once Li Feng decided to eat Matthews on his back.

Matthews was also helpless, he was pushed by Li Feng step by step like Li Feng's puppet, and then stepped to the vicinity of the three-second zone. In the end, Li Feng suddenly strengthened. Pushed Matthews into the three-second zone, and Li Feng was already in the attack position.

With his back to Matthews, Li Feng turned around without any scruples and then made a jumper, Li Feng's shot "banged" on the rebound and fell into the basket.

It was another goal for Li Feng, but the fans in the stands of the New Orleans arena didn't see it that way.

The shirtless man stood up again, and with that rude shout, he awakened the wildness of the whole court.

Some of the girls in Pelicans Zero jerseys used their screams to cheer up Li Feng and shock the nerves of the Trail Blazers.

Bill Wharton, who was sitting in the commentary seat, couldn't stop shaking his head:

"If I had Li Feng's body, then I would have abused my little man in a hundred ways, instead of just finishing the offense in the most untechnical and unaesthetic way."

"No, I think Li Feng's choice is very reasonable! I don't need 100 ways. To deal with a type of player, you need to use a way, the most effective way can be, on the contrary, I think Li Feng's ball is very beautiful, although a few back eating movements are very simple. But every step is solid, and every step gives the other party a heavy thrust! As long as this kind of footstep encounters a player who is not as strong as himself, he will make a difference. ”

Wesley loved the simple brutal moves that Bill didn't like.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers originally planned to score points, but their points were soaring, but the Pelicans were not inferior and seemed to be flying very well, at this time Stotts was a little impatient, he stood on the sideline and yelled.

At this time, Van Gundy had the meaning of a magic stick. Sitting on the sidelines smugly drinking a drink, Van Gundy knew very well that there were only two ways for his team to win. The first is to destroy the Trail Blazers' game mentality and let them break from themselves, and the second is to give up their lives and fight the Trail Blazers, and whoever loses and wins depends on their luck.

Since this is a big gamble, I just play bigger, and I have to make the whole Trail Blazers crazy, and the whole mentality is broken, so that I can win.

Van Gundy is no longer the same Van Gundy at this time, and has gone through a series of changes. He also began to think about the game from a psychological, gambling point of view, which is how Van Gundy has grown in his coaching career.

And the Trail Blazers' Matthews has continuously played offense and defense with Li Feng, and has been teammates in the Knicks. Matthews knew Li Feng's toughness, but he was not to be outdone, and in the half, he still immediately covered with Aldridge, and then went to seduce Li Feng to defend him.

Li Feng was attracted to Matthews at the moment. He heard Van Gundy yelling at where he was changing positions.

Li Feng also knows in his heart that defensive blocking and dismantling cover, and changing positions is the king, a good defensive team. The Spurs, the Pistons both do this.

But now Li Feng still holds that question in his heart! How could I not defend against Matthews! It's impossible!

Li Feng thought so, and stubbornly did not listen to Van Gundy's instructions.

He ran out after Matthews alone, and Matthews also fought back and forth with Li Feng and made up his mind to fight Li Feng alone, and as soon as he saw that Li Feng was attracted to him, he immediately pulled to the side.

Seeing Matthews' move, the other players of the Trail Blazers immediately knew that Matthews was going to play singles, and the characteristic of the Trail Blazers team was singles, so no one else said anything, and immediately opened up all the space for Matthews and Li Feng.

Li Feng cautiously lowered his center of gravity and used his feet to block the middle lane. Letting go of the bottom line, all the attention was on Matthews' ball, not relaxing the slightest concentration.

Li Feng's defensive posture is very standard and very strategic, at this time it is on the defensive but it is as steady as Mount Tai, and Matthews is constantly changing in his offensive steps and upper body!

The attention of the New Orleans arena was also focused here, and people were anxiously waiting for the result of the duel between the two swordsmen.

What people wanted to see was a gorgeous technical confrontation and a fierce physical collision, but the result was very simple, Matthews strode forward and led Li Feng's steady defense, and then Matthews's entire body and people were retracted, and he took a big step in the same direction again.

This time, Matthews was like a light smoke drifting past Li Feng, and a petrel flying from the sky, jumping briskly and dexterously.

Matthews passed Li Feng?

Yes, past Li Feng, Matthews was relieved and ready to go to the basket.

Just as Matthews loosened the basketball towards the basket, the basketball flew towards the basket, and a palm appeared in the air, slapping the basketball away like a net to catch flies.

The basketball flew to Millsap, passed to Arenas, the Pelicans fast-break, Arenas chased for a three-pointer, the result was a little less forceful, knocked back, and this frontcourt rebound was pocketed by the level Alon Butler.

Li Feng, who had just blocked, immediately stuck a position under the basket when Caron Butler picked up the rebound, and then reached out for the ball.

At this time, Li Feng's position under the Trail Blazers' basket was very deep, and there was no interference around, and Kaloon Butler moved the ball from the high post into the low post and played a high and low post pass.

Li Feng was the only one behind Aldridge at this time!

After receiving the ball, Li Feng sat back violently, although Aldridge was tall, but he was still not very tough in the power confrontation, and Aldridge was slightly staggered when it was hard against hard.

In a place like the basket, it is absolutely a matter of fighting for every inch of land, and the consequences of staggering a little bit are very disastrous. Li Feng took this space, and turned around with a half-hook and half-tossed shot.

Although Li Feng's posture doesn't look very beautiful. The action looked a little uncoordinated, but this time it still hit.

Watching Li Feng's skillful use of footwork and half-hook hands under the basket, Bill Wharton scratched his head on the commentary bench and said apologetically:

"If Li Feng had appeared as a centre-forward, I think I would have felt more normal. But I think Li Feng's biggest mistake is that he clearly showed a unique flexible big forward figure, but most of the time he was a small forward. That's what I find incredible. ”

Wesley also said a little proudly:

"Li Feng is a unique guy! He's really unique, and this kind of low-post player is a rarity in the league right now. But it's a very useful type, and in our time, low scorers were the cornerstone of the team's score! ”

By the time Wesley and Bill Wharton were talking, the Trail Blazers had already completed an offense. Matthews received the ball and immediately passed it to Batum near the halfway line. Then Batum was also not sticky, and the ball was passed to Dorrell Wright.

Dorrell Wright dribbled a step outside the Pelicans' three-point line and then immediately jumped to give the Pelicans a two-point run, and this time the Trail Blazers hit the Pelicans so quickly.

Two passes and one shot were there for their offensive purpose. This fast pace is entirely the result of the Pelicans' defensive details not being in place.

Van Gundy stood up at this point. On the sideline, he shouted to his teammates:

"Hey! Guys, we're going to pick up the tempo and pay attention to the transitions. We can let them shoot, but it's better to put a hand in front of them before shooting. ”

Van Gundy was completely relaxed by this point, and he was looking at the game with a gamble, a shock mentality. At this time, the Trail Blazers have obvious pressure.

The Pelicans attacked, Arenas passed the ball to Li Feng, and Li Feng immediately hooked his finger at Henson after receiving the ball, and Henson knew that he needed his own cover. So Henson immediately ran up quickly to cover Li Feng.

After Henson came over to block Batum, he immediately pulled out when he saw Batum breaking through again, leaving the space on the inside to Li Feng.

Henson is leaving room for it. Li Feng got to the basket and stuffed the ball into Henson's hand, and then Li Feng ran towards the free throw line, where Millsap helped Li Feng block people, and Henson's basketball passed again.

Li Feng got rid of it, and the vacant position was just when Li Feng made a move.

A figure pounced and smashed directly into Li Feng's body, it was not a defense, it was Matthews.

Matthews smashed on Li Feng, and Li Feng still threw the basketball in the air, the ball slammed into the center of the rebound, hit the board and shot, the ball refracted into the Trail Blazers' basket, and the referee's whistle also sounded, giving Matthews a technical foul T.

In the NBA, technical fouls have always been distinguished by whether they are fouls on people or fouls on the ball. Now the referee felt that Matthews' action was completely aimed at Li Feng's people, so he immediately gave Matthews a technical foul.

The technical foul was a matter of reluctance for Matthews, but it angered Tristots. The guy jumped up from the bench and yelled at the referee:

"Sir, do you really see clearly! Can you explain why it's a technical foul? ”

Although Stotts's words had been noted, his attitude did not have the slightest respect for the rules of the league, and Mr. Referee impatiently ignored the short man and walked quickly in front of him.

"Oh! Matthews has already committed two fouls. This is not good news. ”

Bill Wharton frowned as he looked at the technical statistics table.

Wesley said as if he wanted to untie his partner:

"But it doesn't matter much anymore, and it's 1:37 after the end of the first quarter. It's time to put on a substitute. ”

After Wesley said this, Stotts, who failed to demonstrate in front of the referee, immediately called a timeout.

Li Feng took this opportunity to take a rest, and he walked quickly to the rest seat and sat down. Then he caught the towel that the staff had given him and draped it over his body.

Taking advantage of Stotts' timeout, Van Gundy was also instilling a dead warrior spirit in his players, and now he understands that tactically he can't win against the Trail Blazers. To win, it depends on psychology, so Van Gundy shouted at his teammates:

"Boys, boys, gentlemen, do you see! As long as we hold on. The Trailblazers don't have anything to do with us, as long as we hold on. And do you see, it's that they're in a hurry! What we have is opportunity. Gentlemen, the only way we can win is to attack like crazy and fight them desperately on defense. ”

This is not Van Gundy's coaching style at all. Everyone imagined that Van Gundy would teach everyone a lesson with the tactical board, but now he didn't do it at all.

After hypnotizing his teammates, Van Gundy crawled into Li Feng's ear and whispered:

"Li Feng, if you have the opportunity, try to disturb Aldridge's mentality, you can watch it! Think of the specific method for yourself. ”

Li Feng looked at Van Gundy in surprise, this is really not the rigid guy he is familiar with!

Van Gundy actually allowed himself to put pressure on Aldridge and exert psychological tactics on Aldridge? This is indeed a good move! This will definitely have an impact on the sensitive Aldridge, and then his team will have a chance.

But Li Feng still felt that Van Gundy's change was a bit beyond his expectations. Just when Li Feng was thinking about how to put pressure on Aldridge, the two teams played again.

As soon as the two teams came on the field this time, Li Feng immediately saw that Aldridge was no longer in the lineup. At this point, Stotts was replaced by Lillard, and then by Mor Williams and Thomas Robinson, two guys who came on the court.

At this time, Van Gundy replaced Arenas, Li Feng, and Millsap, who had played for a long time, and replaced Ronnie Brewer and DJ Augustin. There is also Al Jefferson, who is also a small lineup, and it seems that Van Gundy and the Trail Blazers' determination to fight for offense has not changed in the slightest.

The Trail Blazers attacked first, and Mo Williams received the ball and dribbled quickly to the Pelicans halfcourt.

The Trail Blazers play a two-guard game. At halftime, Lillard immediately asked for the ball, and now Mo Buchuan dared to disobey and hurriedly passed the ball to Lillard's hands.

Lillard caught the basketball a little outside the corner and immediately held the ball with both hands, his center of gravity completely lowered. Bend your whole waist and put the ball between your legs to protect it and make a single move.

Lillard put on a stance. Brewer, who was across from him, was also a little nervous.

Such a guard with a punchy breakaway and a flowing shot is hard to defend, and in front of Brewer, Lillard is shaking. Suddenly, he dribbled two steps to the left in a row, and when he was close to the baseline, he suddenly took a step back, and then made a pull-up jump shot.

In this series of moves, Lillard's breakthrough was very strong, his body cut was very thin, and Brewer was absolutely under pressure, while the step back and the final shot were very soft and elegant.

In front of the overwhelmed Brewer, Lillard hit a shot with ease.

Then the Pelicans followed Van Gundy's instructions to immediately counterattack, and when Arenas was there, the Pelicans' offensive system was not running smoothly, but it was also uneventful.

Now that Arenas is down, as soon as Di Augustine comes up to control the rhythm of the game, the rhythm of the whole Pelican immediately changes a little. Di Augustine and Derrick Rose and Arenas are too different in terms of ball control and passing skills.

After the Trail Blazers' half, Caron Butler was exposed to the baseline for nearly 5 seconds, he didn't see Caron Butler, but only dribbled, and when Mo Williams almost cut off his ball, he passed the ball to Brewer, who he was familiar with but was in a bad position, instead of Henson, who ran out of the line.

At this time, the difference between the main lineup and the bench lineup is apparent, with Lillard behind him and no advantage in his own right.

Brewer chose a shot in a very poor way, he forced a breakthrough through Lillard but had no physical advantage, so in the end he was forced to face the big tall Leonard to shoot, and the result was a miserable ball big tall and a big hat to fan away.

After the ball flew out, it was immediately picked up by the long-armed Dorrell Wright, who got the ball and immediately passed the ball to the wind-like Mo Williams, who received the ball and immediately attacked quickly.

At this time, Mo Williams's advantage was fully reflected, one step at a time, two steps, no change of direction and no tricks, and completely relied on his strength to pull Di Augustine behind.

Caron Butler could only fly to chase from the other side, and Mo Williams, who realized that there was someone on his side, immediately sent the ball to his side and sent the ball to Lillard, who was running behind Caron Butler.

Caron Butler could only turn back at this time, but Lillard was not greedy in the fast break, did not keep the ball in his hand, and immediately stuffed the ball into the hands of Mo Williams, so Mo Williams, who had already arrived at the basket, raised his hand to the basket and completed an attack behind Carlon Butler.

After the Trail Blazers replaced the second wave of substitutes, the Trail Blazers' offense suddenly became sharp, and this sudden change was unexpected by the New Orleans Arena, and everyone was a little staring at what was going on. (To be continued......)
