Chapter 710: Cunning

Seeing Perry Jones make a move, the Pelicans were ready to wail, but the next moment, Perry Jones was not good.

The three-point shot hit the hoop and flew out directly.

The Pelicans happily grabbed the basketball, and Doug Collins immediately said:

"The Thunder missed three three-pointers in a row! It seems that their super-divine feel in the first section is really no longer there. ”

The Pelicans naturally hoped for this, Henson and Biedrins flew over to grab the rebound, and the referee actually blew the Pelicans for a strong backcourt rebounding foul.

The Pelicans had a rebounding foul, and Scott Brooks took advantage of the dead ball to quickly replace Durant.

The Thunder re-teeed off the line, and this time Westbrook was covered by his teammates and easily caught the basket at the top of the arc.

Westbrook, who took the ball this time, stabilized a little at the top of the arc and passed the basketball to Durant, who had just played.

Durant took the ball in his most entangled area on the wing, and when Durant took the ball on the wing and the Pelicans noticed him, Durant made a very hidden ground pass to pass the basketball to Parkinson, who was cutting to the baseline.

Parkinson didn't have a strong offensive ability, but rushing up and pulling also caused Henson's foul, and the Pelicans sent Parkinson to the free throw line.

Parkinson's offensive skills are rough, but he is still relatively stable at the free throw line, hitting both free throws.

After you got on Durant's side, not to mention Durant's offensive ability, just Durant's containment ability, which made the Thunder feel that the offense was much easier. However, their offensive style at this time is still different from their usual style, relying on free throws and low posts to score is still too far from their comfortable defense.

In this case, the two teams were in a tug-of-war, Van Gundy was not afraid of the Thunder, and Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced over.

Now the score of the two teams has become 43-32, although the Pelicans are behind again, but the referee's factor still has a more obvious role in this period.

Li Feng came up with the ball. Still did not attack, but went to attract the defense himself, passing the ball in the crowd to Oladipo in the open corner of the corner.

Oladipo missed a three-pointer last time, and now he takes the ball and throws it out again, but he still misses the open spot.

The Pelicans are also now missing consecutive three-pointers, and both teams are missing three-pointers. This is where things get a little interesting.

The Thunder took this opportunity to open the score, but the Thunder came over and their pass was wrong.

Ronnie Brewer went from behind and stole the Thunder's basketball at once, and then quickly advanced to the opponent's half, and came out with a violent dunk.

"Bang!"

In the tug-of-war, the Pelicans still have some abilities on their side.

Turning back, the Thunder wanted to play a quick offense. As a result, Westbrook came over and passed a good ball, and the basketball went directly to Collison's hands under the basket, but unfortunately Collison was a slow shot and his shot was blocked.

This is the second time Collison has wasted Westbrook's good pass! Suddenly, the Thunder's home fans were dissatisfied.

Westbrook also squinted at Collison, who was also very embarrassed.

He was the only player that the Thunder retained before selecting Durant, and in a team with such outstanding talent as the Thunder, it does seem that he is slow and slow, and he is a little incompetent to play this position.

Collison made a mistake here. The Pelicans immediately chased back, at this time Li Feng saw that the opponent's defensive formation was scattered when he was running fast, and he immediately rushed ferociously from the middle, and at this time, Perry Jones, who defended him, could only accompany Li Feng to the free throw line with another foul.

Li Feng also deceived a foul by the way. went to the free throw line, and Li Feng made both free throws steadily.

As a result, the Pelicans relied on free throws and steals to snatch back four points, and the score of the two teams became 36-43, and the two teams still had a seven-point difference.

The Pelicans began to steadily chase down the score again, and at this time the Thunder were still desperate to score. Westbrook quickly made a cross-cover with Durant, and Durant took the ball on the wing to see that it was Brewer who was defending him, and he had too much physical advantage. Lean back to one step and turn around with ease for a jumper.

Durant's psychological expectations here are too low, and Brewer rushed up to the ferocious defense, which suddenly made Durant not very comfortable.

Durant missed a turnaround jumper here, just as he turned around and missed. Li Feng grabbed the basketball ball directly from the basket, and Li Feng, who grabbed the rebound, ran towards the opponent's half court at high speed.

Li Feng suddenly increased the pace so fast, and the thunder was naturally a little scattered when he ran back.

In the chaos of the army, the thunder wanted to clamp Li Feng, Li Feng saw that Parkinson's was behind him at this time, he suddenly paused, so that Parkinson's in the back suddenly couldn't stand it and bumped into Li Feng, Li Feng fell to the ground in front of him and screamed.

Li Feng easily deceived the Thunder for another foul, and Li Feng deceived two fouls in a row, this style of play is completely different from Li Feng's previous image of an iron man.

But in terms of rules, the Thunder did foul, and Li Feng hit two free throws easily again at the free throw line, and Li Feng scored four points in a row. In this way, Li Feng rewrote the score to 38-43, and the difference between the two teams was only 5 points.

In this kind of tug-of-war, the Thunder really suffered, and the difference was shortened by the Pelicans unconsciously.

At this time, seeing that the score difference had shortened, Scott Brooks also felt a little helpless. He got up and yelled at Westbrook to get his team's offense in order, and then asked his team to step up defensively.

Scott Brooks is here to do both, but Van Gundy is holding his shoulders on the side and not speaking, at this time Van Gundy still feels it, and the team is slowly taking the initiative.

The Thunder side was fouled in a row, and the score difference slowly shortened, at this time they were also a little anxious, and then came back to play, Durant's side couldn't help it first, he didn't pass the ball this time, but took the ball and immediately performed his trick, and shot directly on Brewer's head. Brewer really couldn't defend Durant, and Durant's shot went in right away.

Although Durant's side has scored! But Doug Collins, who was on the sidelines, immediately said:

"Durant didn't play well! Durant's task today is mainly to help his teammates, if he does it alone, what is the difference from the last game, relying on him alone has proven that he can't win, but he is still on this path. It's not good! ”

Mike Brown also said:

"Take two points and two points! Pelicans should not be afraid of each other. The Pelicans are afraid of three points! If the Thunder want to win, they should still find a way to open up the three-point shot. ”

Durant's side scored, but it wasn't a full rating. The Pelicans turned around, and the basketball passed around on the outside, and finally it was in Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng was not in a hurry to take the ball here, and made a pause in front of Perry Jones to shoot, but suddenly made a breakthrough. The opponent was slightly wrapped, Li Feng passed the ball behind his head, and Biedrins, who cut in the air, took the ball with a two-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

Biedrins responded to Durant's two-point run with a dunk, and the Pelicans were really stronger in the tug-of-war, not just pressing step by step to close the score. You can also make a dunk. As a result, the Thunder can't get up in momentum, while the Pelicans are slowly gaining confidence.

In the tug-of-war with the Pelicans, the Thunder was chased more and more, Durant and Westbrook came over and played a block again, the two of them played such a block, Durant received the ball in the restricted area to attract the opponent's defense, and then suddenly passed the ball out to Perry Jones, who was in the empty space outside.

Perry Jones got another open three-point opportunity, and in order to seize such an opportunity, Perry Jones deliberately adjusted. And only then did he make a move.

But even if Perry Jones adjusted this time, the three-point shot still missed.

The Thunder missed four three-pointers in the second quarter, and their magical shooting percentage in the first quarter was completely lost in the second game.

Just when Perry Jones missed this three-point shot, it was accompanied by the wails of the whole court. There was a burst of cheers from the Pelicans fan gathering area behind the Pelicans off the bench.

At this time, Doug Collins also said:

"This time, the Thunder's three-point shooting rate finally looks normal, 8 of 13 shots in the game, which is still a relatively good shooting rate, but it is still acceptable."

Mike Brown also said:

"The Pelicans have stepped up their defense at the three-point line. In this way, if the Thunder can still maintain a high shooting rate, then it is strange! ”

The Thunder had such a good chance and missed a three-point shot. Scott Brooks was suddenly depressed, and just looking at the feel, he sensed that the Thunder might be in trouble.

Just when Scott Brooks was thinking like this, the Pelicans quickly pushed over, and Li Feng crossed the halfway line to get the ball and called a Biedrins cover.

Biedrins went up to help Li Feng block it, Li Feng broke through frantically, jumped high in the Thunder's encirclement, and found Brewer in the empty corner through several defenders of the Thunder.

Li Feng's pass was stuffed over, and Brewer took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The Thunder's three-pointer missed, and the Pelicans' three-pointer came instead.

All of a sudden, Scott Brooks couldn't sit still, and the Pelicans chased the score to 45-43, leaving the 10-point difference in the first quarter with 2 points left at this time.

Thunder is a section with a good feel, a section with a bad feel, and the poor feel is caught up by people all of a sudden.

Scott Brooks didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called a timeout when he saw that the situation was not good.

When it came to the bench, Scott Brooks immediately shouted at the importance of the team's offense, asked the team to cooperate more, and emphasized Westbrook's pivotal role.

Scott Brooks knew his team wasn't a team fodder, but he did it with Westbrook to string together a plate of loose players.

Scott Brooks uses Westbrook to string his players together on offense, and defensively requires the team to regroup, increase the intensity of defense and cooperate with each other.

After setting up the tactics, Scott Brooks replaced Collison again, this guy at least let the Thunder score about 5 points less in this break, and Scott Brooks couldn't stand him anymore.

Scott Brooks is adjusting, the Pelicans are also adjusting at this time, Van Gundy saw the poor feel of the opponent's three-point line, and also realized that the Thunder without a three-point shot is purely a toothless tiger.

So at this time, Van Gundy still asked the team not to relax the defense of the three-point line, and must block the opponent from the three-point line.

At the end of the timeout, the Thunder kicked off the sideline, Durant came out to catch the ball and then turned around to break through the middle, and at this time, the rest of the Thunder players were completely pulled away, only Steven Adams cut to the basket. At this time, Durant's genius rhythm paused slightly, and he hit the ball and passed the ball to Steven Adams, who cut in the air.

Steven Adams' impact intensity and Collison were not in the same heavyweight class at all, and he took the ball and sprinted to score two points on a layup.

After arranging the tactics, the Thunder finally chased back two points and stopped the bleeding a little! At this time, Durant's pass is also very eye-catching.

At this time, Doug Collins said:

"If Durant is willing to pass the ball, he can pass the ball well. A good attacker cannot be a good rhythm controller, often not because of technique, but more because of character. ”

The Thunder hit such a good shot. The Pelicans didn't pause at all, and the Pelicans quickly caught up with the baseline kickoff.

Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt, came over and made a quick breakthrough immediately, the Thunder delayed Li Feng, and Li Feng suddenly slowed down again to create a foul on Parkinson in the back, this time Parkinson learned to be obedient and did not hit Li Feng.

Li Feng regretted that he could only stick to Parkinson's body, and then forcibly squeezed it into the Thunder's half.

In the Thunder's half, Li Feng immediately commanded his teammates to open up the space, and he was going to beat Perry Jones on one side.

The Pelicans' players looked at the boss to play singles. They immediately pulled the space apart. The Pelicans pulled the space away, but the Thunder didn't. As far as Li Feng and Perry Jones are single, this Perry Jones must have gone and never returned.

At this time, Westbrook hurriedly came over from the side to harass Li Feng, and Li Feng watched Westbrook come over and pull the basketball back slightly.

In this way, Perry Jones has a chance from behind. He reached up for a steal, and Li Feng just pulled the basketball back to attack, but Westbrook took advantage of the opportunity to come again. Li Feng could only raise the ball and make a feint.

Li Feng used a feint to deceive Westbrook, and Westbrook didn't even know to deceive that! He didn't suffer at all.

Li Feng couldn't fool Westbrook when he saw it, so he could only turn around and deceive Perry Jones with another feint. Perry Jones saw that Li Feng had turned around, but he was not as cunning as Westbrook, and he immediately reached out to block it. Li Feng suddenly felt comfortable, and threw the ball with a shout. The referee immediately blew for another foul and sent Li Feng to the free throw line.

Perry Jones missed several three-pointers in the second quarter, and was deceived by Li Feng so much, he was suddenly depressed and yelled at the referee, the referee was not afraid of him, and gave Perry Jones a technical foul back, this time Scott Brooks was depressed!

Just because Perry Jones screamed, he gave Li Feng three free throws in vain, and he himself missed three consecutive three-point shots, which is simply the sinner of the Thunder, Scott Brooks immediately took advantage of Li Feng's free throws to replace Perry Jones with Sefrosa.

Perry Jones is like this, sitting on the bench and still chattering, he is indeed more depressed now. Also more emotional!

Li Feng picked up another free throw opportunity for nothing, and at the free throw line, he hit all three free throws steadily.

Li Feng took another three points for nothing, so that Mike Brown found some joints, and he said on the side:

"In the second quarter, Li Feng scored 2 points from the beginning to the present, but Li Feng actually scored 7 points by relying on free throws! Silently, he didn't see what Li Feng did at all, and he scored 9 points. You should say that Li Feng's destructive power is amazing! Or has Li Feng become a master of deception and foul play? ”

"I'm in favor of the latter! Of Li Feng's three fouls, two of them were deliberately found to foul. This is enough to show that Li Feng did it intentionally. Thunder should definitely be careful of Li Feng! ”

Doug Collins thinks that Li Feng is a sinister guy, Li Feng scored like this, the Thunder hit, and Durant still took the initiative to shoot a three-pointer without staying on the three-point line.

Durant tried to break the deadlock, but the Pelicans would rather let him break through than let him shoot three-pointers, and Durant's forced shot was also affected by some influences, and the three-point shot hit the rebound directly and bounced back.

The Thunder's three-point shot missed again, and in the second quarter, all five shots were missed, and the Thunder really didn't feel it.

Durant threw his own shot and frustrated his fists, and the Forest Spirit grabbed the backcourt rebound without giving the Thunder any time to be annoyed.

Brewer quickly advanced up with the ball in the middle, and when the Thunder paid attention to him, Brewer suddenly passed the ball to Li Feng on the sideline.

Li Feng took the ball from the Thunder's flank, dribbled to the edge of the penalty area in one step, and stepped in another step, to this position, Li Feng faced Steven Adams, who came to help defend him, flew up and lifted the basketball high with both hands in the air, Steven Adams came to block the moment, Li Feng handed the basketball to his left hand, and his left hand was picked forward, Li Feng changed hands in the air to avoid Steven Adams, and scored two points, and at the same time, Steven Adams's arm hit Li Feng's head, and the referee's whistle sounded.

2+1 Li Feng not only scored points this time, but also made a foul on the opponent. On the free throw line, Li Feng hit a free throw.

When Li Feng hit the free throw, the Pelicans bench and the exclusive fans behind the bench cheered. Because of Li Feng's ball, the score was rewritten to 47-49, and the Pelicans overtook the Thunder.

At this time, there were more than 4 minutes and 20 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, and the Pelicans chased 10 points in one go, and finally overtook them. (To be continued......)
