Chapter 748: Natural Enemies
LeBron James got rid of Caron Butler in an instant, and then in front of him was the Pelicans' three-second zone, and LeBron's joy reached a peak at this time, as if he hadn't encountered such a feeling in a long time.
LeBron rushed in, then jumped up and found a way between Brand and Al Jefferson.
Brand and Al Jefferson are both excellent inside guardians, and both of them show up at the same time!
LeBron was disrespectful to their territory, so the two of them worked together to come out to attack, which was definitely a difficult challenge for LeBron, but this was LeBron's first comfortable breakthrough today, and the little emperor didn't want to give up this opportunity.
And he also believed that he could handle such a scene, jumped, his body deviated slightly, blocked Brand with his back, and then collided with Al Jefferson! In the final moment, he also chose Al Jefferson, and his natural elasticity gave LeBron an unparalleled ability to fly, and his gorgeous source came from this brilliant ability to fly.
Stretching in the air and then stretching out his right hand to pull the ball, El Jefferson was surprised to find that he and Brand didn't let LeBron give up on the defensive side, and the guy was still forcing a score on his own ground, completely disdainful of himself when he fell to the ground.
This guy made a quick decision in his heart, and he slashed desperately at LeBron's arm with the palm of his hand, slashing instead of slapping!
Al Jefferson made it clear that this action was of little use to LeBron.
However, he still underestimated the little emperor's ability, and when Al Jefferson slapped his palm on the ground. The little emperor has already finished making a move.
The basketball was pulled low between the two men and passed deftly onto the basket.
LeBron's layup is so light, just using his ability to soar and change in the air, not violent. But it was easy to score a layup, and then a very inappropriate situation appeared, and in the final stage, Aljefferson's palm still slapped on LeBron's arm, and the referee's whistle blew.
"Foul on the thug!"
When the basketball got into the opponent's basket and the referee's whistle came up, LeBron felt that the two doors in his heart had finally opened a gap, and his depression burst out all at once.
It's too depressing to fight by yourself. Li Feng is like a moving stone that blocks in front of him all the time, preventing himself from playing happily, and now when Li Feng is not there. I can finally break through lightly, and then complete the kill.
LeBron walked to the free-throw line, at which point Antoine Walker said:
"LeBron finally tank scored, and he finally rampage in his own way. Fouls were made and points were scored. It's really not easy to help the team score with such a standard style of LeBron-style offense, and now it's the second quarter that he has completed such an offense for the first time! ”
"Yes, Li Feng's defense in the first quarter was still effective, at least preventing LeBron from killing the big man of his team, completely blocking LeBron outside, allowing the two to form a one-on-one game, and now Li Feng is no more. Caron Butler immediately couldn't stand LeBron, which was definitely a respite for the Heat, but for the Pelicans, be careful. Even if there is no problem in this paragraph, if there are too many fouls on the inside, there will be a great danger in the second half of the game! ‘
Hubby Brown said.
"You mean to replace Li Feng immediately?"
Antoine Walker asked Hubie Brown.
"At least we should better protect the inside line!"
Hubby Brown is now clear about the game, and inside kills hurt the Pelicans more than scoring.
"Now the Pelicans are back, they're in a good formation! Hahaha! ”
At this moment, Antoine Walker burst out laughing.
It turned out that Wade wanted to use the same way he did against Oladipo to deal with Rose, and reached for Rose's ball!
But who is Rose, how can he be afraid of this kind of defense, Wade's broken ball not only did not touch the basketball, but Rose quickly turned around and gave Wade over at once, Wade himself stumbled several times and almost fell to the ground.
Completely lost Rose, so that when Rose dribbled forward again, Ray Allen could only come over to defend Rose, and the little emperor LeBron James quickly rushed to Arenas's side.
The Heat's defense has gone haywire, and Al Jefferson has suddenly become an unguarded figure!
The Heat's collective defense still has a big problem at this time, and it is a fool not to take advantage of such a big advantage.
Rose quickly shoved the basketball into Al Jefferson's hands, and Al Jefferson was not far from the basket in the open space!
Al Jefferson simply wanted to make a mid-range shot, but in the second quarter, bad luck really accompanied the Pelicans, and Al-Jefferson, who is famous for his accurate mid-range shots, made such a simple mid-range shot here, but he didn't hit it, and jumped out all of a sudden!
Brand also didn't receive this frontcourt rebound, which was taken by Chris Anderson.
The Heat turned their heads and moved the fast attack, just now Wade took the heel in front of Rose, and now once the fast break runs, Wade and Ray Allen are far less comfortable than just now, and they are stared at by the guard combination of Rose and Arenas, and they have no chance to shoot at all.
Just now, I tried the fast break of the Pelicans, but it had no effect at all in an instant, the fast attack ran over, and finally it had to become a positional attack, LeBron just ran over and asked Wade for the ball, and now is the time when Li Feng is not there, I have to try to put pressure on the Pelicans' interior line and cause damage to the Pelicans' interior line.
LeBron wanted to laugh when he thought about it, because he actually had to hide from people to play, which he had never done before, and today was the first time he played and had to avoid other people.
However, when LeBron asked for the ball, it was not a request but an order, and Wade quickly handed the basketball to LeBron
When Charon Butler stepped back even further, he experienced what it took for LeBron to break through to speed. It's the top power, and he really can't do it, so Kalom Butler can only retreat a little more. Hopefully, working with teammates can complete the defense against LeBron James.
LeBron was slapping basketball with ease, and Van Gundy was also worried here, because he knew very well that the only guy in the league who could effectively contain LeBron in an all-round way was sitting next to him to recuperate, and it would be difficult for Caron Butler to complete such a difficult defensive task.
And once LeBron's defense gets out of control, the danger will be huge, like letting the tiger down a mountain. can't control it at all, which is why Van Gundy put Brand and Al Jefferson on the inside at this time. He just wanted to use the wall of flesh to block LeBron James.
LeBron James saw that Caron Butler took a big step back and waited for him, the space in front of him was open, and if Kobe Bryant was here, he would definitely not hesitate to make a jumper. Because that would give him a comfortable chance to score.
However when doing so yourself. The risk is really big, it can't cause damage, and it will waste the opportunity, and sometimes some people play in a way that is really not their own choice.
LeBron can also shoot directly, but who will create more opportunities for the team at that time, LeBron does not have many options at this time because of his teammates.
Rush. You can only rush up!
When the word popped into LeBron's head, he suddenly activated. At the start, he alternately dribbled forward with both hands to confuse Caron Butler, and suddenly a cut finally stuck to Caron Butler's body, LeBron avoided falling into such a quagmire when Li Feng was on the floor, but when the defender became Caron Butler, he did not refuse such a fight.
Kalombartler was ready to use all his strength to fight LeBron, but he didn't expect LeBron to be just a false move, and after sticking it for a while, he immediately turned around and retreated.
At this time, Caron Butler instinctively pasted a little, which was a breakthrough that took advantage of the player's habits, and when Caron Butler pasted it, LeBron jumped directly from Caron Butler's side into the three-second zone behind him.
There are always challenges, but LeBron's challenge is really difficult for ordinary people to understand, and this time he challenged a big man like Brand again.
One step jumped into the three-second zone, which happened to be the left side of Brand's defense, although the little emperor challenged Brand, but he had no intention of attacking head-on, he deviated a little to the left, squeezed Brand in the air for a layup.
If someone else did this, he would definitely be squeezed by Brand's huge body and lose his position, but LeBron's excellent physique helped him resist this impact, and he firmly occupied a corner position in the air, and then after LeBron resisted Brand, he threw the basketball with his right hand, and he was ready to make a high throw to wipe the board.
At this time, Brand was directly provoked to make a mistake that LeBron often induces the interior to make, that is, he mistakenly thought that he could have a chance to destroy the ball, so Brand instinctively reached out his hand, but touched LeBron's hand, but did not touch LeBron's basketball.
LeBron's basketball went over Brand's head and into the Pelicans' basket with the rebound.
This is the second 2+1 completed by LeBron after returning to the court! The two consecutive 2+1s not only scored points and caused damage, but also played a role in curbing the Pelicans' momentum.
At this time, Hubbie Brown was there and shouted:
"A pelican without Li Feng really can't do it! can't stop this guy LeBron, he seems to be a tank who is not afraid of the opponent's defense and has a high interior line, rampage, and creates the opponent's kill! It's time to get Li Feng back on the court,"
"Yes, Van Gundy should start Li Feng,"
LeBron's consecutive 2+1 layups caused huge trouble for the Pelicans, at this time everyone was looking at Van Gundy, even Caron Butler himself was tortured enough by LeBron, he was also looking at Van Gundy, he didn't want to continue to be abused, he just wanted to abuse others.
At this time, Van Gundy looked at his watch, and then at the timer on it, it was now the second quarter of the ground second, and there should be plenty of time!
In the third quarter, Li Feng still had a period of rest, maybe this would allow Li Feng to support until the end, rather than not being able to help the team at the last moment.
Van Gundy called the timeout under everyone's gaze. The Pelicans' players all returned to the bench, and the first thing Caron Butler did when he came back after being abused twice in a row by LeBron was to pat Li Feng on the shoulder.
It didn't look like anything off the field just now. But now that I have actually experienced it, I know that it is too difficult to defend LeBron, and Caron Butler himself did not imagine it at all.
"I'd better leave that guy to you to defend! Call me when it's time to score! ”
Everyone laughed when Caron Butler said this, and now the Pelicans players are still optimistic.
In their hearts, they vaguely feel that as long as there is Li Feng, as long as Li Feng is on the court, he will definitely be able to contain LeBron!
He's sure to keep LeBron from causing damage to the team, which is actually a high expectation.
Li Feng smiled and did not speak. This Van Gundy began to lay out his tactics:
"Li Feng, Caron is right, this kind of thing can only be left to you to wrestle with LeBron. And when it's time to score, I'll use Caron,"
Li Feng doesn't care about this! He smiled and said:
"The fun of defending doesn't have to be less scored!"
"But I want you to score properly!"
Van Gundy said suddenly:
"Li Feng, although you defended very well in the first quarter! But you're too conservative, you can score points in the system. I mean to say. You should be like a poisonous snake, when the other party is not paying attention to you, you jump out and bite the other party hard, so that they can focus their attention on your body, and it is not if they do not focus on you! ”
"It's more of a distraction for their defense, and Li Feng, LeBron can disrupt our interior defense, and I'm sure you can do that too!"
Now Li Feng understood what Van Gundy meant. It is to jump out and bite the opponent appropriately while defending LeBron and create trouble for the opponent. Don't let the other party have a good life, and spend it in fear.
Li Feng liked the idea Van Gundy said, so he said:
"Of course, I'd love to snatch the offensive shots that Crumon Butler likes.
Gilbert saw that Ray Alen was a guy who didn't care about it when he got mad, and that we shouldn't indulge him.
Derek, today I'm going to allow you to tease that guy Dwyane Wade and let him know that the Pelicans' ball isn't so easy to break, Elton remembers that Chris Anderson guy is stuck all the time, he's just an old slippery head, don't give him a chance! ”
Alright, my warriors, it's time for you to make the Miami guys suffer! ”
With that, Van Gundy raised his hand and motioned for his team to walk onto the court.
The players of the two teams returned to the court, and LeBron James saw Li Feng appear in the Pelicans at the first glance, and then he understood one thing, the Pelicans began to contain themselves again.
The Pelicans' possession of the ball at the beginning, every timeout or in the middle of each quarter, the first offense is generally a very strict design tactic by the referee, so we often see that after the timeout begins, the team plays more tightly, and then it becomes more and more lax.
For a team like the Pelicans, which is already relatively rigorous, once the design is played, it feels like they are often more than strict tactically, and even complex.
After the Pelicans used Guò tactics and raised the Heat's defensive focus, they suddenly sent Brand into the Heat's interior line, and watched Brand Tong Guò cover with his companions and quickly stuck his position in the Heat's three-second zone.
At this time, Hubie Brown said to himself in great confusion:
"Now I really don't understand what the Pelicans are doing, Brand obviously has no low-post offensive skills, and it can even be said that he basically has no offensive skills, why did the Pelicans have to spend so much effort to send him to the low post to receive the ball, this is a complete waste of team resources!"
Hubie Brown doesn't understand here, but Chris Anderson has to watch this junior alone, dead behind Brand, and when Brand receives the basketball court, he also starts to attack the Heat's interior line in a similar way.
At this time, Li Feng, who was watching on the strong side, suddenly ran back and drilled past Brand at once, and when the little emperor wanted to chase the ground, he was blocked by Brand who moved over.
Running back, slipping the bottom line, and then blocking the defender, Brand finally shot the ball at this time, but this is definitely not a shot, because the basketball has crossed the entire basket, Chris Anderson instinctively felt the danger of this ball, he seemed to know that under the dazzling complexity of the Pelicans just now, such a conspiracy would be hidden, and he quickly chased after Li Feng.
Li Feng also saw Chris Anderson who caught up, but Li Feng had no choice, at least at this moment, he had no choice to do, the basketball flew over, Li Feng jumped up suddenly, and Chris Anderson, who ran over, also jumped up with his old legs.
Two people with completely disproportionate height are competing for height in the air, and the advantages and disadvantages have long been determined, but sometimes this alliance needs a miracle, Li Feng and Chris Anderson, who is much taller than himself, jumped at the same time, but it felt like Li Feng had stepped on some explosives under his feet, and in an instant he rose to Chris Anderson's head, and then caught the basketball with both hands.
