Chapter 864: The Strongest Outside Defender
At this time, the Pelicans finally scored, the Pelicans finally scored this goal, the Grizzlies and Pelicans scored no difference, the two sides returned to a starting line, Van Gundy's dazed in the first quarter, Conley's madness, and the Grizzlies' smooth sailing, all turned into vanity and dust turned into invisible air.
After Li Feng passed, he hugged Oladipo heavily, and Oladipo also looked at his hand excitedly and said to Li Feng:
"Li Feng, have you seen it, Li Feng, have you seen it, I'm just divine, my shooting is amazing."
Li Feng hugged this guy heavily and said in his ear:
"No, Count Victor, no, it's you, you're such a guy, you can create a miracle, it's just the beginning of a miracle, believe in yourself, you can do things you can't think of."
At this time, the other players of the Pelicans also came over and hugged Oladipo, and at this time Li Feng felt that Oladipo was a little crazy, this young man's luck today was too smooth, and his hand was simply hot.
The Pelicans' side was elated, but the Grizzlies' side was really annoyed, and Conley, who was off the court, threw his towel on it in annoyance, but fortunately the referee didn't notice Conley, and the game was completely over.
"It's weird, it's got them to score goals too."
Conley angrily dropped the towel on it.
Prince, who had little to offer, just smiled, and he said beside Conley:
"It's just the beginning, you're getting too angry."
Conley didn't say anything, he just lowered his head silently, silently looked at the towel on the face that fell, there was unwillingness in his heart, there was a very strong unwillingness, Conley has never admitted defeat, and today he still did not admit defeat.
The Pelicans, on their side, went back happily, and Van Gundy said to his teammates during the break:
"The first one was my mistake. I almost missed everyone, and by the way, Millsap asked Rose to defend Conley, which is absolutely what you did right, and without you, without Rose, we would have lost to each other in the first quarter. ”
At this time, Millsap glanced at Li Feng and said:
"This idea was Li Feng's idea, but it wasn't mine."
"Oooh."
Suddenly, several heads of the Pelicans were on the same page, and in the Pelicans, the family was already a little accustomed to Li Feng, Li Feng could train Al Jefferson and teach Rose to defend. can also change DJ Augustine, at this time, everyone Li Feng has come to see it as a think tank, in fact, Li Feng still doesn't really have the ability of a think tank.
After Van Gundy glanced at Li Feng with a complicated expression, he began to say:
"Li Feng, Oladipo, DJ Augustin, it's our second performance, I want you to pick up the tempo.
The fast and sharp advance towards the Grizzlies is now the first phase of the Grizzlies. We have to take advantage of this period and try to hit the opponent as much as possible, and Van Gundy sees the Grizzlies' weakness at this time, and when the Grizzlies are on the bench, they are all very old players. There are no major attackers either, and the good Pelicans have a lot of good young players here, and this is a good opportunity to do it yourself. ”
That's how Van Gundy sees the game between the two sides, and his requirements for his substitutes are simple: "Score." ”
The two teams are back on the field. It's up to Robert Pera to finally do a minor operation on his bench lineup, sending Conley to the shooting guard position, bringing Mike Miller back to the bench, and Bayless upgrading to small forward.
Robert Pera's decision was the right one. Because the Grizzlies are not attacking well today, it is also right to liberate Conley's offensive ability, you can play at will according to Conley's ideas, and let Bayless defend against Oladipo, although it is not good in height, but at least it can ensure that there is one person standing there in front of Oladipo most of the time.
And in this way, the Grizzlies' backcourt is actually not slow, just now the Grizzlies bench didn't play well, as if they didn't have a backbone, and now Conley, Boss Fold is here.
The Grizzlies' bench lineup is dominated by Conley, and when Conley returned to the court, he received a basketball passed to him by Nick Carathys.
"Conley is here again."
That's when Kenny Smith first thought of this.
Now that Rose is no more, the DJ Augustine that Conley needs to face happens to be a point where the defense is relatively weak, and Conley comes up with a very scrappy dribble and starts to hit DJ Augustin with his back in two steps.
Conley's body is strong, but he is actually always tall, and Anton Johnson can't stand Conley here at all, just seeing that Conley is very light, he uses his back to attack and hit a ball.
At this time, Van Gundy hurriedly shouted:
"Li Feng, Conley belongs to you, Conley, you come to defend."
Li Feng knew what Van Gundy meant, he nodded and controlled the ball and walked towards the Pelicans' halfcourt, Nikklasis and Li Feng have been fighting for a while, and during this time, Nikklasis felt as if he was the same as the beast.
I always feel that there is a huge danger and I follow him, but after such a long time, the danger still does not come, and the more this danger does not come, the more worried Nico Krasis is, and Nicoxis's main responsibility in the Grizzlies is outside organization and defense.
Nikklasis has always been proud of his defense, but Nikklacis, who has had several physical contacts with Li Feng, knows that once Li Feng moves, he will definitely not be able to defend if he plans to attack by himself.
At this time, the speed of the Pelicans is still very fast, Oladipo and DJ Augustin are running very diligently, and Li Feng said that now Oladipo's feeling is officially in a good time, and he must not waste Oladipo's feeling.
So Li Feng hit a ball here, and yelled at Oladipo on the side:
"Oladipo, Oladipo."
Li Feng was here while dribbling along the Grizzlies' three-second zone, and when he saw Oladipo running over immediately, he paused and stopped there, waiting for Oladipo to come and catch the ball.
Li Feng made such a cover outside after controlling the ball, which was originally a bit of a joyful thing, but Li Feng did this, and he could play a big role. Because Li Feng's shoulder width and figure were enough to cover up, Bayless, who was behind Oladipo, hit Li Feng's shoulder with a clatter, and the small bullet of Bayless was far away.
Just look at Oladipo here, but after the basketball, he dribbled one step forward, directly ignored Nick Caracis's defense, and shot himself.
Nick Clarassis saw Oladipo ignoring him, he jumped up and blocked Oladipo, but at this time, Oladipo really entered a hot and hot situation, and he entered, and Nick Clarassis's blocking did not work at all.
The Pelicans' bench came up, and the run was very simple. Very fast tactics but made the Grizzlies a little ugly, at this time Robert Pera glanced at his watch, and then looked at the clock above the field, he really wanted to make a substitution, but it was too early, today's game was not half of the game, Robert Pera restrained his own idea.
Then continuing to watch the comparison, the Grizzlies were on Conley's role as a substitute for the Grizzlies.
At this time, Conley glanced at the guy in front of him, and his fighting spirit was completely up. Because Li Feng stood in front of Conley, Li Feng is recognized as a defensive master in the league, Li Feng is the one who can defend LeBron, and if he blows Li Feng up, won't it explain a lot of problems.
Conley thought a little bit about this. He faced Li Feng and showed twelve points of combat effectiveness, quickly dribbling under his crotch, and began to swing a little away from Li Feng, Li Feng also felt that Conley was different at this time. This guy gives himself the feeling that he wants to decide life and death with himself.
Emotionally speaking, Li Feng definitely hopes to duel with Conley, because Conley has a deep meaning to Chinese fans. Many things happened to him made Chinese fans very moved.
Li Feng was a little weaker in his heart, Conley didn't have so much sentimentality, he came up with a beautiful pull-up jump shot, Li Feng lost his mind, and he caught up, so that Conley threw it neatly.
At this point Barkley cried out:
"Ah Li Feng, what are you doing, what are you doing, is it more difficult for Conley to defend than LeBron if such a ball is defended, can't you play well?"
Barkley is yelling here entirely because of Li Feng's negligence, but Kenny Smith said:
"Li Feng's defensive strength is entirely due to his excellent physical confrontation, when he needs to be close, such as against a strong breakthrough player or a low post player, he can do it willingly, but when he encounters a type of player who does not have physical contact with him, such as an absolutely fast breakthrough player or a pitcher, Li Feng does not have much advantage."
Kenny tried to explain to people from another point of view that Li Feng's defense is not omnipotent, and anyone who is omnipotent can prevent death, and in fact, Li Feng's defense also has a fatal flaw.
Li Feng watched Conley shoot this jump shot in front of him, he regretted it a little, and he was a little relieved, so he smiled, followed Conley and said inexplicably:
"Conley, you're so good."
At this time, Li Feng was about to start fighting again, he took the basketball from Brand's hand, and then strode towards the Grizzlies' half court.
The Pelicans are now playing flexible and shooting basketball when they see an opportunity, so Li Feng ran over directly without pressing the rhythm here, and Li Feng's offense, which Nick Carasis had been worried about for a long time, suddenly broke out in this casual fast pace at this time.
The cause of the matter, or the reason is that when Teng dribbled over, he saw that the technique came back very slowly, leaving a gap for himself, from Li Feng's point of view, from outside the three-point line to the Grizzlies' basket, there was a folding route, which was a route to the Grizzlies.
Therefore, when Li Feng was moving, he suddenly accelerated his speed, like a car that started suddenly, from a stable speed to a maximum speed in an instant.
Li Feng started suddenly, Nick Carathys was ignorant, and Li Feng was almost passed in the first instant, and then Li Feng was like black lightning and drilled into the Grizzlies' half, but at this time, the Grizzlies had Ed Davis who came back quickly in the middle, he didn't want to have any collision with Ed Davis, Li Feng had a better way to go, so Li Feng suddenly put away the basketball, and jumped from Ed Davis to the left of the basket in front of Ed Davis in a reverse step.
Li Feng's breakthrough line came in a zigzag line, Nick Clarasis was thrown off by Li Feng's sudden start, and Ed Davis's wait in the middle only gave Li Feng a signpost.
Li Feng jumped to the basket on the left as soon as he jumped. In the face of an empty basket, Ed Davis couldn't earn it back at all, Li Feng had many options to do, but at this time, Teng gently used his left hand to make a knock on the basket and gently threw the ball.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Seeing that Li Feng didn't dunk, Barkley let out a long breath of disappointment.
And Reggie Miller laughed slightly:
"I can see that Li Feng's mentality is unusually good, and his thinking is also very clear, as for not dunking, maybe he doesn't want to be so public, he wants to leave the game more to his teammates."
Li Feng came back immediately after the layup, and that hand Conley Conley glanced at Li Feng and asked:
"Are you talking to me? Let's see how the score is. ”
When Li Feng heard Conley say this, he was stunned at first, feeling that Conley was very immature.
Then Li Feng understood that this may be the grizzly bear's strategy, but is it useful?
Why don't you be fooled yourself!
So Li Feng smiled and said:
"Basketball is rhythmic for me, my work is the best decision for the team, and your mention is fundamentally good for both of us."
Conley scoffed:
"Your argument is a little bit like Yao Ming, or that group of international players."
Li Feng smiled to himself, strictly speaking, he is indeed still an international player. Conley still wanted the ball to start attacking after half time, but at this time, Li Feng didn't plan to let Conley do whatever he wanted.
Li Feng feels that his current use of Conley is completely different from LeBron's, because Conley will shoot at any time, and this guy is crazy, not just two points. Three-point shooting is also very accurate, and defending Conley needs to be close to prevent him from making a jumper.
If Conley had passed himself, it wouldn't have been a big problem. It is advantageous to go back and chase it by himself, and as long as Brand or Henson can be himself, he will have a chance to block Conley.
Li Feng quickly made his own judgment, and it was up to Li Feng to lower the center. Widening the cover, Fan moved cautiously and quickly, clinging to Conley.
Li Feng used his real defensive ability to come out, and immediately gave Conley a lot of pressure, first, Li Feng's footsteps are acceptable, and he doesn't eat feints, Conley's consecutive feints are a waste of time, and second, Li Feng has the advantage of height and arm length to defend his jump shot at any time.
At this time, Li Feng and Conley were entangled from the top of the arc to near the bottom line, and then from the vicinity of the bottom line to 45 degrees, Conley made movements and pulls back and forth, but he couldn't break through from the front of Li Feng's wall.
At this point, Barkley said:
"Li Feng's solid defense has finally appeared, his kind of defense that even LeBron James Kobe Bryant has a headache Kevin Durant has reappeared, Conley has no way to take Li Feng, he has used 0 seconds, and the Grizzlies are about to run out of time."
At this time, even Hardaway was yelling:
"Conley, are you waiting for Li Feng to give you a place by himself, what are you waiting for?"
Hardaway yelled here, but he couldn't understand Conley's mood at all, at this time, Conley felt that Li Feng's wall was a constantly moving wall, and he immediately stretched out his hand to block himself when he shot, and the breakthrough really couldn't break through the opposite wall.
At this time, Conley finally lost LeBron, how Li Feng got rid of it, Li Feng is a pervert in defense, he is very good at defense, does not give the opponent a chance, and is also very good at putting pressure on the opponent when he is meticulous, as long as he has the opportunity, he will use the premise of not fouling to put pressure on the opponent.
He is as fine as a machine, but in the fineness, he is putting meticulous pressure on the opponent, Conley can't play at this time, he can only pass the ball.
Conley was in the game, and 3 seconds to the updated Bayless, Bayless received the first idea of basketball, which was to throw the ball in front of Conley.
In the last few seconds, the ball you can't play with is still given to me, and Bayless really wants to throw the basketball back to Conley, but he doesn't, and now he has to shoot himself.
Bayless was already shorter than Oladipo, so he made a hasty move, but his luck was not as good as Oladipo's. If you cast it, it becomes a three-no-stick.
"Ahh
Robert Pera frowned, now he can't continue to delay time, Li Feng came up to defend Conley, so that his bench lineup is still not a leader, Robert Pera is ready to change here.
At this time, the Pelicans played fast-paced basketball, and Li Feng dribbled all the way forward, but the Grizzlies are now changing to a small lineup, so they will not be unable to keep up with the rhythm of the Pelicans.
The Pelicans played a fake Princeton attack, but this time it was not. The Pelicans' two guns were gone, and Li Feng accidentally sent the basketball to Brand's hands below, so Brand easily shot his own small mid-range shot.
The Pelicans overtook the score, and the Pelicans led the Grizzlies by two points.
The Pelicans finally came back to overtake after being pressed, but after Brand's goal, Robert Pera called a timeout and he was about to make a substitution.
At this time, Robert Pera already knew that he had to make a substitution. I have to make changes, and I am hungry for the bench lineup to let the Pelicans play at such a fast pace, and it is my own team that will suffer.
Li Feng also followed his teammates back to the rest seat, and Van Gundy patted Li Feng and Oladipo on the shoulders and praised:
"You're doing a good job."
The game restarted, and Robert Pera changed his main lineup after calling for a while. Robert Pera kept Conley and then switched all of his main players onto the pitch.
The Grizzlies were replaced by a ball-handling player, with guard Tony Allen, scoring guard Conley, and small forward Prince. Power forward James Johnson, center Marc Gasol War, and the Grizzlies returned to the main force of the first quarter.
However, the Pelicans still use their bench lineup to play. At the very least, Van Gundy has yet to find out where his bench is lacking.
The two teams returned to the court, and the opening was the ball of the Grizzly Bear, but after the contact between the two sides, Li Feng immediately saw the difference between the current Grizzly Bear and the Grizzly Bear just now.
So the current grizzly bear, like a living beast, shook its head and tail and rushed towards the pelican.
The Grizzlies opened with a clear inside line, which was a simple blow but a really lethal move, all of which were extremely simple, and the Grizzlies opened up the position, opened up the space for Marc Gasol, and then quickly passed the ball to the hands of Marc Gasol on the inside.
Marc Gasol's position on the inside is not very good, he is very far from the basket Marc Gasol has no power at this distance, but at this time the person defending in front of Marc Gasol is Henson, Henson is smaller than Marc Gasol in height and strength, and he can't compete with Marc Gasol at all.
Marc Gasol has been holding back for a long time in the first quarter, because he gave most of the scoring opportunities and tactical space to Conley, and now that Conley can't do it, this Marc Gasol began to control the ball.
After he got the basketball, he smiled cutely at Henson, Henson was nervous enough to defend Marc Gasol, and when he saw Marc Gasol smiling at him like this, he instinctively felt dizzy, this Marc Gasol will not have any problems.
Marc Gasol himself was fine, he was just a little happy after he started playing on his own, and Marc Gasol took the ball frame and began to force Henson to cut in the frame and wanted to cut down the basket with a big step.
Henson hurriedly moved his feet, but he couldn't withstand Marc Gasol in terms of footwork or strength, so he could only watch Marc Gasol cut into his own interior line, and Brand also came to help defend Marc Gasol on the side.
But Marc Gasol is not afraid of these two people at all, in the gap between Henson and Brand, Marc Gasol himself jumps directly, he wants to score directly on the heads of two people, and people have three points of fire.
Henson hurriedly jumped up and blocked, but he couldn't touch Marc Gasol, so his movement in the air became irregular, and he began to exert force on Marc Gasol's arm.
There was only one consequence of this situation, that is, Henson slapped Marc Gasol on the wrist, Marc Gasol's ball did not score, but the referee gave Henson a thug foul. (To be continued......)
