When Li Feng played, the Pelicans were immediately different, the offense could hit, and the defense could be stabilized.

At this time, the Pelicans came over again, and Li Feng was still willing to come up to do a block and help Oladipo block the opponent's defense, and then ran along the three-point line towards the bottom line.

Li Feng's running route is very ordinary, nine out of ten teams have outside blockers who run like this, but then Oladipo made an extraordinary pass.

He actually hung directly high and threw the basketball at Li Feng's side on Batum's head, which was a pass that didn't take Nicolas Batum in his eyes at all.

Batum also felt that he was being ignored, and he struggled to get up and intercept him, but Li Feng flew much higher than him.

came over with one hand, and touched the basketball first on the head of Batum, but Li Feng did not take it off when he touched the basketball, but used a little harder and pointed the basketball towards Al Jefferson, who was moving towards the basket at this time.

As soon as Al Jefferson saw such a good thing, he hurriedly took the ball and dribbled to the basket in one step. When Robin Lopez caught up, he paused a little and staggered the rhythm before taking the ball for a rebound.

Because of the basket blocking, Robin Lopez was also unable to stop Al Jefferson, who easily scored two points.

In the two rounds that Li Feng returned to the team, the Pelicans' condition looked a little strange.

The Pelicans' scores at this time are all without fireworks, the coordination is very clear, the tactics are not surprising, and there are no extremely dazzling individual singles.

But the Trailblazers just couldn't stop it, and Li Feng's role in the team was all over at once, but it drove the Pelicans' mediocre offense to a situation where there was no way to defend. Because both of Li Feng's touches handled the basketball in an extraordinary way.

This kind of integration into the team, and then the simple and not simple way of handling the ball, even Lillard lamented that he was inferior.

Because of his size, Lillard can't do as many things as Li Feng, and Lillard has no way to cover or volley.

But Lillard has his own strengths. He understands that he doesn't need to be someone else, and it is already very rare to be himself.

When Li Feng gradually mastered the rhythm of the game, Lillard rushed over with the ball at this time.

Lillard rushed over and immediately asked for a 45-degree screen, and the defense rotated, and Lillard came over and took advantage of the momentary opportunity to give Oladipo to defend himself with a small change of direction.

After passing Oladipo, Li Feng, who was not surprising, quickly helped defend and blocked Lillard.

At the moment when the formation of the two teams changed, the two people came up to each other, and Lillard was a little impatient at this moment. Holding the ball with one hand and shaking it in front of Li Feng.

Lillard had long known that Li Feng's ball breaking was powerful, so he deliberately wanted to challenge Li Feng, and Li Feng had long known that Lillard had strong ball control, so at this moment he quickly stretched out his hand.

Li Feng's hand was on the back of Lillard's hand, and he didn't touch the basketball, and Lillard's center of gravity was still too low.

When Li Feng's other hand stretched out, Lillard's other hand was also reaching forward, and Li Feng thought that no one was faster than his own hand.

But Lillard was still too low, and Lillard pulled the basketball back. This momentary confrontation was extremely inconspicuous in the crowd.

Two No. 0s!!

Li Feng is a Tyrannosaurus rex, while Lillard's most bullish nickname is "KillingGod" and the "Agent Zero" of the copycat Arenas. Tyrannosaurus Rex VS Agent Zero!

In an instant, Li Feng and Lillard both understood that the other party was very strong! Li Feng is very fast, and Lillard's ball control is even more heart-to-heart.

Li Feng did not complete the break this time. But the Trail Blazers' offense was halted, and Lillard took the ball and turned around and threw the basketball to Batum outside, who had a rare opportunity to open the spot. Raise your hand for three points.

The Trail Blazers' side is also a three-pointer, scored!

Seeing that both sides of the game took out their real skills, the pioneers and Li Feng each led the team forward with their skills.

All of a sudden, the two teams played a half-pound and a half, and the two teams seemed to have returned to a balance of power.

The two teams were evenly matched, and Van Gundy was in no hurry because he knew he had a good group of substitutes. But the Trail Blazers didn't, playing in such a stalemate, the Pelicans still had to take advantage of the bench time in the second half, so Van Gundy didn't move!

But Stotts doesn't have the ability to move like a mountain, he knows his own affairs, if it goes on like this. In the second half, his substitute was not strong, and in the third quarter, I am afraid that I will suffer.

Therefore, if the Trailblazers want to win, they must stand up for the advantage in the main section, that is, there is no advantage in the score, and they must also have an advantage in momentum, otherwise there is no way to play on the bench!

Stotts didn't have any cards in his hand, so the game was not easy to play! At this time, he hurriedly called a timeout, and when the Trail Blazers players were on the bench, Stotts said:

"Now we have to get some advantage! The Pelicans' offense is very efficient, but if they break away from Li Feng, it's just average! Now we're going to try to cut off the connection between Angkai and the team. As long as Li Feng can't get the ball, we can take advantage little by little. Now let's start with defense. ”

The Trail Blazers' offensive routines have been almost used, and if you want to win at this time, you can only start from defense.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers' offense, at this time, Lillard took the ball over, and used a cover again to bypass Oladipo at once.

Li Feng quickly chased in front of Lillard at this time, and at the same time, Oladipo quickly went to batum outside, and at this time the Pelicans completed the switch defense.

Li Feng came to defend Lillard again, Lillard knew that it was stupid for him to force a shot in front of Li Feng, but he could disrupt the Pelicans' defense, just look at Lillard's flexible control of the ball under his crotch and continuous beating in front of Li Feng.

Suddenly leaned to the left, then dribbled behind the right side, and suddenly turned and drilled into the Pelicans' restricted area, facing a group of jackals and tigers in the Pelicans box, he quickly passed the ball to Matthews outside.

Matthews' hand started well today, and it's still very good, taking the ball and shooting high.

'Whew! ”

Matthews was comfortable in taking a three-pointer.

The Trail Blazers themselves were successful in attacking, and when they switched to defense. The first thing the Trail Blazers did was to block Li Feng with Batum and delay Li Feng's catch.

At this time, Li Feng had difficulty receiving the ball, and a team like the Pelicans, who pursued speed, immediately passed the basketball to Brewer.

Brewer took the ball and ran quickly, and when he came up, he also wanted to pass the ball to Li Feng, but as soon as he saw that Batum was still attached to Li Feng, he immediately passed the basketball to Brand, who took the ball and looked at Li Feng's situation, and he smiled.

Brand smiled slightly, then faced Aldridge and dribbled sideways to provide a cover for his teammate. Basketball got out of its own injury.

Brand used to block and dismantle Li Feng wholeheartedly, and Brand blocked and dismantled Li Feng so suddenly, when the two suddenly separated.

The Trail Blazers' defense was a little messed up a bit, when Aldridge and Batum were swapping places.

didn't know how to change positions, Batum followed Li Feng to the death, but Brand showed a glimmer of opportunity here.

There was a hint of space in Brand's here, and his teammates hurriedly threw the basketball over, but when Aldridge pounced, Brand threw the basketball to Al Jefferson on the inside. Al Jefferson took advantage of the chaos to take the ball and shoot small.

The Pelicans scored easily again, and the Trail Blazers didn't take advantage of Li Feng after cutting off his receiving route.

Because in addition to the Pelicans' first core Li Feng, Brand can also play the ball. He can also kill.

The Pelican's reserves are deep enough at this time, even if Li Feng is really strangled to death, the Pelican will not suffocate for a while.

The game reached this stage, and Stotts' eyes began to fire when he was watching on the side.

The overall strength of the Pelicans is indeed far stronger than itself. The momentum is unmistakable.

The Pelicans have better benches off the bench during the bench period, and even if the Trail Blazers strangle Li Feng, the Pelicans have other players who can jump out.

This game is extremely difficult for the Trail Blazers. Because the opponent is not one person or two people strong, but the overall strength, if you suppress a wave, the opponent will have a wave of attack, and it will not be suppressed at all.

The Pelicans are hitting wave after wave, and the Trail Blazers can only do their best to find a balance on the offensive end.

The Trail Blazers' offensive end was really good today, and the overall shooting percentage was very high, and the Trail Blazers' shooting percentage was high since the first quarter, and it was the same now.

As a result, the first half of the two teams was over, and the Pelicans beat the Trail Blazers by 4 points 61-57, although the difference was not large.

But fans who watched the game can see that the Pelicans played relatively easily in the first half, Li Feng was basically bloodless, and the Pelicans' main bench time was very balanced.

The players' scores are also very average, everyone has scored, and the scores are all about the same. The Pelicans are playing a whole picture.

But on the Trailblazers' side, it is obvious that the Trailblazers' ball is more difficult to play, and it is difficult to score in every round. The scoring was concentrated in the heads of two or three people, with Lillard scoring 14 points himself, Aldridge 15, Matthews 12, and the rest of the players barely scoring much.

In terms of overall numbers, the Trail Blazers are also far behind the Pelicans in rebounds, steals, and shots. The only thing the Trail Blazers had the lead over the Pelicans in terms of number was the shooting percentage, which was 59 percent in the first half and nearly 60 percent in the first half. It was with this high shooting percentage that the Trail Blazers did not let the Pelicans pull the score away when all the other numbers were behind.

At the end of halftime, the players on the Trail Blazers' side walked into the tunnel very hard, but at the same time, all the Pelicans players walked into the tunnel with calm faces.

At this time, the reporter stopped Li Feng in front of the players' tunnel to interview Li Feng.

"Li Feng, you were ahead in the first half. Tell us how you feel about today's game! ”

Li Feng glanced at the reporter silently, and said without even sweat on his body:

"We played okay today! However, the opponent's hit rate is high, which is very troublesome. If the opponent's hit rate can continue to be so high, we will be under a lot of pressure. ”

The reporter glanced at Li Feng with disdain, because Li Feng didn't even have sweat on his body, and said that he was under a lot of pressure.

The reporter immediately shifted the direction of the attack and asked:

"Li Feng, what do you think of Lillard! Today Lillard's first half table is very good! ”

Li Feng thought about it carefully at this time and said:

"Lillard's first-half table was really good! He's the best player I've ever seen and encountered. He's strong, and he's very good at scheduling. He's a good player! ”

Although Lillard closed his eyes and said that Li Feng was not as good as Durant, but now Li Feng frankly believes that Lillard is a very strong guard.

Li Feng is casually perfunctory reporters here. The reporter had no choice but to send Li Feng back to the locker room.

Li Feng's side disappeared into the player's tunnel, and the camera shifted to the commentary seat, at which time Hubi Brown said:

In the first half of the game, the Pelicans still outperformed the Trail Blazers. The Pelicans played better overall than the Trail Blazers! ”

"But the Trail Blazers' star is even stronger! Especially in Lillard's position, Lillard played extremely well today, Aldridge also played steadily, and these twin stars couldn't open the score in the Pelicans. And Matthews played particularly well today! A few particularly prominent players finally pulled the Pelicans back. ”

"But the concern for the second half now is whether the Trail Blazers' high hitting can be maintained! The Trail Blazers relied on the style of play of a few main players. Will the form of these players always be there? These are all tricky questions. ”

"Yes! However, it is also possible that the Trail Blazers will play better in the second half, which is not impossible. ”

Antoine Walker said casually.

"It's possible!"

In a rare move, Hubby Brown agreed with Antoine Walker.

In the locker room, the Pelicans were basically calm, and today's game was a normal play for them, and there were no waves. Everyone giggles and doesn't feel anything!

But it's not the same on the Trail Blazers' side, and as soon as the Trail Blazers get into the locker room, Lillard immediately takes over the locker room.

began to loudly encourage his teammates, Lillard wanted to use his own encouragement to motivate his teammates. Make the second half a little bit better. Lillard is a person with the temperament of a leader, and at this time, he did not forget to communicate with his teammates in the locker room to boost everyone's morale.

This ability to communicate with teammates is also important, especially for a core player.

The pause lasts 20 minutes. The Pelicans are resting, the Trail Blazers are cheering! The two teams are doing different things and have different mentalities.

Before returning from the second half, Hubie Brown and Antoine Walker were in the dressing room to anticipate and judge the second half.

Antoine Walker opened his mouth first and said:

"The first half is over. The two teams played 61:57, and the Pelicans led by a slight 4 points, and the difference was not too big! But the Trail Blazers played harder. In this case. Brown, do you think there's any hope for the Trail Blazers? ”

"Absolutely!"

Hubbie Brown replied very simply, and then changed the conversation and said:

"It's not very likely, though! The Trail Blazers have relied on the extraordinary performance of their stars and the extraordinary shooting percentage of the whole team. The two paranormals determine that the Pioneer is not in a normal state, and the Pioneer should be careful to return to the concept of normal. ”

"And some of the things mentioned in the opening scene! The Trail Blazers didn't do it, they didn't cut the connection between the Pelicans' two interior lines and teams, they didn't disrupt the Pelicans' rhythm, they didn't contain the Pelicans in any way. Now they're behind and don't have their own results on the defensive end, which is a scary thing. ”

After Hubby Brown said this, Antoine Walker immediately asked about the Pelicans:

"So! How did Bronny feel the Pelicans played in the first half? ”

"General!"

Hubie Brown gave the Pelicans a pertinent assessment:

"The overall basketball played by the Pelicans in the first half was really average, without any outstanding characteristics! However, this is also commendable, at the beginning of the season, the Pelicans still relied on Li Feng, and now they can play the game like this when Li Feng is not exerting, which shows that the Pelicans are really mature. ”

"The average Pelican won by a small victory over the Blazers! Isn't that the case? ”

Antoine Walker finally gave his own answer, and this time Hubby Brown also nodded.

While the two were chatting casually, the rosters for the second half of the two teams came out, and the starting lists for the second half of the two teams were the same as in the first half according to the rules.

The second half began, and this time it was the Trail Blazers who kicked off first. Lillard has been talking in the locker room for 20 minutes just now, and as the leader of the team, he still speaks very well.

At this time, the Trail Blazers came back and played a little harder than in the first half.

The Trail Blazers came up and hit harder and harder, Aldridge came up to fake cover and turned back ferociously at 45 degrees.

Lillard also immediately passed the basketball to Aldridge, who was Lillard's number one hitter.

Lillard spoke just now, and now he took the ball and immediately hit Millsap, pouting his ass and hitting Millsap fiercely.

Millsap didn't expect Aldridge to be ferocious, Millsap was not paying attention and was hit by Aldridge under the basket in two steps, Aldridge turned over and threw a right hand, wiped the board and sent the basketball to the Pelicans' basket.

The Trail Blazers opened the game by giving the Pelicans a ferocious signal! (To be continued......)
