Chapter 866: The Spanish White Bear
After Marc Gasol grabbed the rebound from Brand, he was also a little hairy in his heart, so he wanted to shoot the basketball faster, and it was a touch directly, Marc Gasol's wipe was very fast, almost when Brand landed, he completed the offense.
However, Marc Gasol was fast but lost his accuracy again, and the basketball smashed his neck, and instead jumped towards the middle.
At this time, Marc Gasol was also angry, this was two consecutive attacks and missed, it was too embarrassing, Marc Gasol felt quite embarrassed, and jumped towards the middle again, at this time Li Feng happened to come back from the middle to grab a rebound.
Li Feng was directly below the basket, Marc Gasol was running diagonally, Li Feng had a positional advantage, but as soon as he jumped up, Li Feng saw that the bounce he had always felt good was immediately incomparable.
Marc Gasol not only pressed himself as a whole, but his arm was more palmed than his own, but it was still in the case of his position advantage, Marc Gasol came over and grabbed rebounds with himself.
The basket Marc Gasol easily picked it up on Li Feng's head, and after Li Feng landed, he was unwilling, so he went to cut off the basketball in Marc Gasol's hand behind him, but after Marc Gasol took the ball and landed, he got up directly.
Li Feng's fingers twisted on the crook of Marc Gasol's arm, and Li Feng himself heard the sound of Gaba, and Marc Gasol jumped directly under the basket and put the basketball into the Pelican's basket.
Li Feng twisted his fingers, he didn't care too much about himself, because it didn't hurt very much, and he didn't feel too much, but at this time, the FedEx Arena watched Marc Gasol wreak havoc on the opponent's inside, and these fans in blue jerseys began to collectively cheer for Marc Gasol and applaud Marc Gasol desperately.
At this time, Miller said with great emotion:
"Marc Gasol hit Li Feng, although the timing of the ball was not good for Li Feng. But the basketball score undoubtedly proves his strength, and the appearance of Marc Gasol simply directly choked the Pelicans' throat. ”
Miller's analogy is definitely not an exaggeration, and Kenny Smith relies on the analysis of the number jù:
"yes, usually the Pelicans grab an average of 13 rebounds a game, but the other day they've been in the second quarter for five minutes, and they've just grabbed 12 rebounds, and Marc Gasol is very strong in their containment."
The Pelicans' three-second zone here has become the dance floor of the Spanish White Bear, allowing the Spanish White Bear to dance here alone and play here indiscriminately.
Van Gundy was watching dryly, and there was no way to do it. There is no way for anyone to take this Spanish white bear, this matter can only be lost inside the dam and made up for it outside the dam and beaten back with an attack.
But if you have this kind of mentality, that is, I can't defend you, I can only use offense to get the score back This kind of team is congenitally disabled, offensive and defensive legs, missing one, just rely on offense. If you want to solve the problem with offense, it's definitely a gamble, you think your offense is good, but if something happens your offense is not good.
The Pelicans turned around or Li Feng dribbled and rushed forward, and the universal worker James Johnson squatted next to Li Feng. To say that James Johnson's defense is definitely not very good, and even in one-on-one James Johnson is still the kind of player who is very poor, he can only play when he is in the system and under the overall defense.
Now Li Feng dribbled to the Grizzlies' half. Seeing that Marc Gasol was standing on the left side of the basket, he immediately went to the right to ask for a cover.
Brand saw that Li Feng asked for cover, and he hurriedly came up to block the three-point line. As soon as Li Feng saw that Bora got it at this time, he knew that he had to be ruthless, he had to put enough pressure on the place, and he had to be fierce.
So Li Feng kicked the ground fiercely, and rushed out with an arrow step, Li Feng's blow was really fierce, and he stepped over Brand and left James Johnson behind him in one step, only Prince followed Li Feng's side and chased after him.
Li Feng's breakthrough was to see that half of the grizzly bear was weak, so he was ruthless in his heart, and he took a little arc from the right side like a bison to kill.
At this time, there is only Prince in the half here, Prince is following Li Feng, although Li Feng is fierce in the first step, but the back is definitely not very fast, Prince can still follow, but it is one thing to follow and live, and it is another thing to defend down.
Prince only followed Li Feng here, but he couldn't do anything with Li Feng, but was cut by Li Feng step by step, Prince seemed to be fouled, blocking Li Feng, but Li Feng twisted his waist at the same time, threw Prince out, and went straight to the basket.
Marc Gasol, who was under the basket, hurriedly moved, but when he moved, Li Feng had already twisted Prince and jumped completely, so that even if Marc Gasol moved to the basket, he could only watch Li Feng throw the basketball into the grizzly basket with a very irregular throwing and wiping board.
Although Li Feng scored, when he flew up to make a layup, he only felt as if something was wrong, how to say it, that is, when he went to the basket, his fingers seemed to be a little uneasy.
At this time, Li Feng noticed his fingers, it turned out that Marc Gasol twisted his fingers just now, and his fingers seemed to be twisted, and he felt very stiff after touching it twice.
At this time, Oladipo came over and patted Li Feng on the shoulder and said:
"Li Feng, this time you can be regarded as scoring on the head of Marc Gasol."
Oladipo came over to laugh, but seeing that Li Feng was looking at his fingers, and the basketball players were looking at their fingers, Oladipo's first reaction was:
"Li Feng, are you injured?"
Li Feng thought that it was still a bit early to go down now, and there would be no problem in changing himself to go down for treatment in a while, so Li Feng didn't care too much, waved his hand at Oladipo and said:
"There's nothing to do, it's just a twist, it's nothing at all."
Oladipo saw Li Feng say this, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and the game continued on both sides, at this time the Grizzlies were still implementing interior tactics, but the Pelicans had already defended Marc Gasol very tightly here.
Van Gundy said it doesn't matter if you let Marc Gasol score, just don't foul him, but every player has his own dignity and lets others abuse him at will. How can that be, so as soon as Marc Gasol got the basketball, he saw that the Pelicans' players were all pinched, and the Pelicans moved a lot this time, and it was a three-person pinch.
At this time, Marc Gasol was also educated as a center, and as soon as he saw three people coming up towards him, he went outside to Prince was exposed, and his hand was quickly sent outside.
The basketball was sent to Prince, who had been prepared for a long time, and today Prince has not been on the table from the beginning to the present.
Now it's outside the three-point line and it's still an open spot. When Prince received the basketball, he shot a three-pointer.
Prince used to be an All-Star, and his mentality was very steady, from receiving the ball to shooting in one go, he shot a three-pointer very smoothly, and Prince's three-pointer belonged to the kind of ball that people would definitely shoot when they saw it.
The rhythm of the shot and the feeling of the shot were very good, and sure enough, Prince's three-point shot hit the shot.
At this point, the Grizzlies didn't just play an interior offense. Instead, they completely played their rhythm, and if they wanted to go inside, they came to the inside, and after the inside line was attracted, there were three-point shots on the outside, a classic combination of inside and outside tactics.
Van Gundy glanced at the timer. The time has reached the sixth minute of the second quarter, and the bench has been supported long enough, and now it should be the time for his main team to play.
At this point, Van Gundy called a timeout with a raised hand and began to make substitutions. The main force of the Pelicans has been completely replaced.
The Pelicans' current lineup is point guard Rose and shooting guard Arenas. Small forward Calon Butler, big forward Millsap, center Al Jefferson.
Except for Kalombartler who rested Li Feng, the other players are the main players.
If the Pelicans' bench lineup is as strong as the light cavalry with strong attack and poor defensive ability, then the Pelicans' main lineup is a team of heavy infantry, and the phalanx is rigorous to attack.
The Pelicans' main force is only now back on the court, and the Grizzlies' main force has been playing for 3 minutes, so this body is completely different.
The Pelicans' main force returned to the court and immediately played, the Pelicans' logo zipper tactics, the whole team seemed to be running like a machine, covering the run, and cutting, all running in an orderly manner layer by layer.
The Pelicans are fast and rigorous here, and Barkley said:
"It seems that the Pelicans' offense is back, and they gave the Grizzlies two completely different styles of play in the half, and I'm going to see how the Grizzlies get used to it for a while."
Barkley is really right, the Grizzlies have just gotten used to Li Feng, Oladipo's fast rush, and the Pelicans' main force is beating one after another, and the Grizzlies are really a little uncomfortable.
The eyes and footsteps are a little unable to keep up, the Pelicans have such a complicated running position, and let go, the Pelicans run here in an orderly manner, and the Grizzlies were injured in the half, and at this time, Rose suddenly ran out of the Grizzlies' bottom line.
made a baseline reverse run, Rose came out of the baseline pocket, and directly ran a curly cut into a very good opportunity, Arenas naturally saw the threat of this moment, and he quickly passed the basketball to Rose.
Rose received the ball and dribbled a step directly into the Grizzlies' midfield, and Rose and the Pelicans played like a dagger and stabbed the Grizzlies in the chest from a short distance.
As the strongest defensive element of the Grizzlies, Mark Gasol hurriedly returned to the middle to protect the knife in the chest, but after the Pelicans stabbed in the chest, he suddenly changed his move, and when Mark Gasol moved over, Rose passed the ball to Al Jefferson.
So the pelican's chest knife, the urgency turned into a knife that suddenly folded back from the back, this knife is more dangerous than the chest knife just now, and it is difficult to prevent, even if Marc Gasol has realized it, but it is already too late.
Just look at Al Jefferson After receiving a pass from Rose, he directly smashed a two-handed dunk on the Grizzlies' head.
The Pelicans switched back to a dunk, which was obviously challenging the dignity of the Grizzlies, but Li Feng laughed out loud in the rest seat:
"Hey, Al Jefferson, he's in a hurry to show himself, he's in a hurry to cover himself up for everyone."
Li Feng said quickly here, Oladipo leaned next to Li Feng and said:
"No, Li Feng, that's not our Al Jefferson, he's more like your Al Jefferson. You gave everything you had to the big man. ”
Li Feng glanced at Oladipo at this time, and then said with a little teasing:
"Why, you're jealous."
"Cut."
Oladipo waved his hand and said:
"Li Feng, you're really disgusting."
Marc Gasol, who just felt like he was being dunked behind by Al Jefferson, now feels a little faceless, so he is like getting it back, and when it comes to the Pelicans half, he asks for the ball and is ready to fire at Al Jefferson inside.
Mark Gasol's abuse of Al Jefferson in the first quarter was very cool, and in the second quarter, he underestimated Al Jefferson a little bit, in a situation where the position was not very ideal. Catching the basketball was like leaning Al Jefferson in with his back.
Marc Gasol sat down with Al Gasol two steps, and then suddenly raised his head, and after looking up, he felt a little wrong, because although Al Jefferson also retreated under the pressure of Marc Gasol, but the amplitude was definitely not as big as Marc Gasol imagined, Al Jefferson was much stronger than Henson in height and weight after all, and the other point was that Al Jefferson also stuck Marc Gasol to death and suppressed Marc Gasol's next handicap.
So Marc Gasol has already jumped. There is only offense, and when he is far away from the basket, Marc Gasol is not lazy and can only throw with one hand. Throwing the ball out, a light offensive approach, is definitely not something Marc Gasol is good at, after he threw the basketball out. Just watch the ball slide out along the front of the basket.
At this time, Al Jefferson turned and grabbed the rebound in his hand, and the two hits came up, and the Pelicans scored. The consequences of the Grizzlies' failure are obvious, but at this time, Al Jefferson has actually changed his mind.
Because he dunked a basket, defended Marc Gasol once, and had a rebound, in less than a minute, Al Jefferson gained three technical statistics, which was definitely a release for Al Jefferson, who was suppressed in the first quarter, and opened his heart knot at once.
Even against Marc Gasol, I can still score, but defensively, but I can grab rebounds, and with that confidence, Jefferson has more strength to play.
Al Jefferson turned around and passed the basketball to Arenas, who drove the ball to the Grizzlies' halfcourt, and today it wasn't just Al Jefferson who didn't show him, Arenas didn't start playing much.
Tony Allen also doesn't have a lot of respect for old-timers like Arenas, and at this time, Arenas suddenly called for cover outside the three-point line, and Millsap himself hurriedly drilled out and stood on Arenas's side.
Arenas suddenly started from the slow rhythm just now, Arenas was playing team basketball just now, so every move and style is very rhythmic and looks a little slow, but once Arenas decides to move.
This rhythm was weird in front of Tony Allen, and after two consecutive steps, it reached the high position behind Millsap, and James Johnson hurried to help defend, but Arenas suddenly paused.
Arenas paused, and James Johnson naturally stopped, but James Johnson just paused, Arenas started again, smacked twice, very fast, and directly stuck to James Johnson and killed the Grizzlies inside.
Conley, who was hanging in the bottom corner, hurried back to defend, but as soon as he left, Arenas's ball went behind him.
Caron Butler received the ball in the bottom corner, and Conley hurriedly turned his head to defend Caron Butler, but what Caron Butler is good at is forced shooting, not to mention that Conley has no height advantage over Li Feng.
Just look at Caron Butler's blunt and indifferent ignorance, Conley saved a three-pointer and shot out.
Conley hoped that Charon Butler's three-point point would not be scored, but Charon Butler was indifferent and ruthless to kill Conley's hope, and the basketball was behind Conley and crisply drilled into the basket.
At this time, even Robert Pera looked at the Pelicans in surprise, in the previous battle between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies won the final victory, it is because of this experience that Robert Pera has always thought that the Pelicans are just like this, but today from the beginning to the present, Robert Pera feels that the Pelicans' progress seems to be very huge, whether it is in the bench players, or in the main lineup of the play, the Pelicans have made some progress.
With this, Robert Pera felt as if he was a little underestimated.
When the Grizzlies attacked again, Conley got another chance. At this point, Conley became a black hole for the Grizzlies on the outside, and as soon as he received the basketball, he immediately shot it.
Conley was indeed a black hole for the shot, but his efficiency was still good today, and the shot would help the Grizzlies score points.
The Grizzlies relied on the outside line to score quickly, and the Pelicans were not to be outdone, they seemed to be a dark cloud to overwhelm the Grizzlies' halfcourt, and the Pelicans suddenly played a tactical move that exceeded all expectations.
As soon as the Pelicans landed, they quickly went deep into the Grizzlies' interior to get stuck in the position. The pelicans made this move very quickly, almost completing such a situation as soon as they fell into position.
The Pelicans are not only fast in position, but also very fast, and once Al Jefferson gets stuck on the inside, Rose on the outside stuffs the basketball into Al Jefferson's hands.
The inside offensive posture was formed almost instantaneously, which was already amazing enough, fast enough, but Marc Gasol must have been behind Al Jefferson, just watching Al Jefferson's hand move. All of a sudden, he passed the basketball out of his back, and it happened to pass to the hands of Rose, who slipped up from behind.
Rose quickly completed the layup, which seemed to easily break through the Grizzlies' defense.
As soon as the Pelicans' main force came on the scene, they immediately suppressed the Grizzlies with a strong pressure. Every move, not a single one, has a very strong oppressive force, and Al Jefferson is in the defense of Marc Gasol's table. It is also more and more experienced that the Pelicans' entire offensive ability can be integrated into a whole. Playing basketball seems to be very precise.
Under the pressure of the Pelicans, the Grizzlies began to shrink, and the difficulties faced by the Grizzlies were as long as Marc Gasol's temporary state adjustment was not good, and the outside players were also very clamped down by the Pelicans.
Under the double attack, the grizzly bear hit the ground worse and worse, and Dawei said bitterly on the commentary platform:
"The way the Grizzlies play right now is heart-wrenching, I don't know what they're doing, it's always unbearable to watch the Grizzlies play."
When Hardaway said this, the second quarter of the game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans was also over, and the Pelicans led the Grizzlies by 9 points from 56 to 47, but today the Grizzlies and Pelicans played relatively high scores, and their scoring ability was very fully displayed.
The Pelicans and Grizzlies are back in the locker room, the Pelicans are having a good time here, and the Pelicans players have worked very well together for such a long time, but there is an unusual atmosphere rising in the Grizzlies' locker room.
Conley was very dissatisfied, and he sat there and kept muttering.
Conley played very well today, although there was a middle section defended by Ross and a section defended by Li Feng, but the flaws were not hidden, Conley was indeed the Grizzlies' outside scoring beam in this half.
In contrast, Tony Allen's breakthrough did not wave, Prince basically did not shoot, and James Johnson only moved the attack every three or five times, this style of play gives people the feeling of Conley, that is, he is the only one who contributed to today's game, and no one else has contributed.
So Conley said in the locker room:
"Today's game we are at the table xiàn is too bad, this is the playoffs, this is the playoffs, we should go for it, not wait quietly and wait there quietly and not shoot."
"Guys, your cousin is like a, you don't want to be a qualified basketball player at all, I really don't know what you're all doing, you're in a mess for the whole half."
Conley himself was there yelling as if he were the boss, and Marc Gasol sat there with an ugly face, looking at Conley with speechless eyes.
What he yelled at here was not only that Mark Gasol was unhappy, but also that the Grizzlies players in the locker room were not very happy, because Conley himself was not the core of the team, nor was he the captain of the team, and he had no right to blame everyone at all. (To be continued......)
