Chapter 789: 30 seconds

Rose received the basketball and gave it to Li Feng, at this time Li Feng did not rush to attack, but immediately gave his teammates a gesture, as soon as this gesture came out, Van Gundy immediately secretly screamed:

"Wonderful."

The Pelicans player who saw this gesture immediately understood, Millsap and Al Jefferson both pulled to the high post, Li Feng handed the basketball to Millsap, who pulled up, and then he crossed over from the middle.

Although Li Feng's movements were fast, they did not attract the attention of the Bulls, because the basketball was in the hands of Millsap again, and the Bulls thought that the Pelicans were still going to beat Millsap, and they didn't notice Li Feng's body.

Li Feng ran in, and when he saw that there was no one who was pinching him, he was happy in his heart, Xin Li Qi followed Li Feng closely, and he didn't think of any danger, and then when Li Feng ran to a low position, he suddenly stopped and stuck back.

Sinrich's heart flickered for a moment, dangerous, but before Sinrich could warn his teammates, Millsap lifted a high post to a low post, and Li Feng was basketballed here.

At this time, the basketball entered the low position of the Bulls, and when it came to Li Feng's hands, Phil Jackson, Howard, and all the Bulls fans jumped in their hearts, and screamed "dangerous" in shock, and Howard turned around and pounced on Li Feng like a lion, hoping to catch Li Feng.

But Li Feng didn't make any superfluous movements, caught Millsap's pass, turned around with a back, flipped to the bottom line, and then leaned back amazingly, and his whole body lay in the air.

At this time, Howard also pounced back, and hit Li Feng's body at the moment when Li Feng shot, but at this time, Li Feng's ball had already been shot, and Howard didn't touch it at all, it flew unusually high, and this height almost exceeded the rebound.

Li Feng landed and hit the bush behind the rebound, but the basketball fell gently into the basket.

"Huh!"

The world fell silent as the whistle blew. Pelicans add penalties.

Li Feng walked to the free throw line, started his free throws, slapped the basketball twice, and then raised his arm and threw the basketball gently.

Li Feng's jump shot was inaccurate, but the free throw shot was acceptable, with about 70% of the free throw rate, and the Pelicans scored another 3 points, and at the same time widened the difference between the two sides to 6 points.

This time, the Bulls' hopes of catching up with the Pelicans in the short term were disappointed. Charles Barkley said from the commentary bench:

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex made the Bulls suffer with his actions, and he turned the Bulls' hard-earned fighter into empty talk in a blink of an eye, and if the Bulls want to catch up with the score, they have to start all over again, and this may turn into a tug-of-war, and then the situation will be completely different."

"Yes, in a tug-of-war with a team's ability to handle key balls, as well as the ability of core players to score steadily, the Pelicans still have an advantage in these two points."

Kenny Smith also had no hope for the Bulls' pursuit after Li Feng scored those two points.

In Kenny Smith's eyes. The Bulls' hopes are slim, and in the eyes of Howard Land and the Bulls players, it's not a problem, there's only one problem. That is, we will never give up, we will never give up this fight.

After Li Feng got this fateful three-pointer, he eased the Pelicans' scoring needs, but the Bulls still had to chase the score back. Just after Li Feng made a free throw, the Bulls players immediately hit the ball and hit the Pelicans' half court.

The Bulls relied on a pull-up jumper from Nick Young to score two points, and then the Pelicans found a pattern. Rose switched to a low-post singles and scored.

The Bulls and Pelicans tug-of-war back and forth, just around these 6 points, and in the last minute of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans still led the Bulls by 5 points.

This game is a ball that must not be lost, and this quarter must not be lost, according to reason, the Bulls did not lose, they recovered more than ten points, but this did not completely recover it, what is going on, this is equivalent to not chasing.

Phil Jackson was on fire in his heart, and so were Howard and the Bulls players, spewing heat all over their bodies

If they can't win, what can the Bulls do?

The storyteller always says that the world is a big event, a long time must be together, a long time must be divided, there is no absolute calm and parity on this court, the Bulls and Pelicans have been facing each other for so long, there should be one side to explode, or one side can not support.

Now it is the Bulls who break out first, the Bulls have the will to break out, and the current situation for the Bulls is either to survive in the explosion or to die in silence, and Phil Jackson, who was forced to be anxious, also appeared, and he was a ball by ball with the Pelicans, comparing patience and toughness, and his team couldn't get the Pelicans.

There is only one way to win this game, that is, to score, to score like an explosion, what is the fastest to score, is three points, and in the last paragraph, Phil Jackson saw that he couldn't catch up with the Pelicans, so he simply let go of his hand and let his players start shooting three-pointers.

With such an arrangement, the happiest is Paul, Nick Young strives to be steady, Tygibson listens to the head coach, only Paul is this guy, the game has reached this juncture, the Bulls can be said to be fighting against the water, and Paul's heart is even hotter.

Hinrich handed the basketball to Paul, and he saw Paul dribble under the crotch of the Pelicans, and he was unreasonable to raise his hand for three points, such an unreasonable three-point shot, and it went into the Pelicans' basket.

On the Pelicans' side, the Bulls came up to play unreasonable, Van Gundy was quite happy in his heart, unreasonable basketball can play a miracle-like effect, but it was all done under low-intensity defense, and the game with high defensive quality was unreasonable to give the opponent a chance.

Van Gundy was convinced that Phil Jackson and the Bulls were digging their own graves, that they were playing on their own, so he just warned his players to step up defensively.

The Pelicans arrived at the Bulls' half, inertia opened the formation, Li Feng controlled the ball and looked for opportunities, at this time the Pelicans relied on three points to play, one is Millsap's stable mid-range shooting and low-post offense, as long as there is a chance for the Pelicans to play this shop, after all, Millsap has too much advantage over Tygibson, and the other point is the low-post offense of Rose and Li Feng, where Ross and Li Feng are against Paul and Hinrich, and they also have a great advantage in height and physique.

Rose was in the low post position, and Li Feng immediately sent the basketball to Rose's hands. Supposedly, Rose's height and ability to play Paul in the low post are just casual eats.

But this time, as soon as Rose received the basketball, the Bulls Dinick Young immediately caught Rose's body, without even waiting for Li Feng to dribble.

It is problematic for the Bulls to defend like this, if Li Feng passes the ball to the shooter on the outside, the Bulls will have to take the risk, but at this time it is necessary for Phil Jackson to take the risk, the Bulls are like this now, the game is at the most dangerous time, and if you don't bet on the Bulls, you will be doomed, and Phil Jackson can't help but bet. At this time, he just fights, I just won't let you hit my low post, and if you have a chance on the outside, you will shoot three points.

Phil Jackson made such a bet, and the entire Bulls began to play with red eyes, the Pelicans are really afraid, you are still afraid of life, you are still afraid of mental illness, Ross was under the death of Nick Young, and did not give the basketball to Caron Butler to Li Feng.

And Li Feng, who stood in the degree. I don't know what's wrong, my head is hot, and I actually shot by myself, and Li Feng's degree wipe board shooting is very inaccurate today. The reason is that Li Feng has recently practiced leaning back and throwing high, and he has forgotten the feeling of wiping the board.

The basketball "slammed" into the rebound, and then Howard stretched out his big hand under the basket like a beast. tightened the basketball in his palm, and this time, with this snap.

Van Gundy's eyes finally widened in horror. If the Bulls score this goal, it will be a draw.

A draw is hard for the Pelicans to accept, and it's scary to tie it with a few seconds left in the game.

But at this time, he couldn't call a timeout, he could only watch Phil Jackson on the other side, with countless eager hopes in his eyes to watch Paul dribble and kill the past, at this time deep in his heart, although Phil Jackson admired Nick Young the most, but he still felt that this moment, this time, the only place that could help the team the most was Paul, this guy has the ability to create a miracle.

Paul's unreasonable three-pointer just now had already scared the Pelicans' defense a little, and seeing Paul rushing up, all the attention of these people was focused on Paul.

At this time, most people were weak-footed, but Paul was covered in hot blood, and the hot blood in his body almost steamed Paul, and the hot Paul slowly dribbled two steps away from the Pelicans, and then asked Howard for a cover.

Howard came up and gave Paul a cover, a big center can not only bring interior defense and stable rebounding protection, but also has a very good covering effect, which is the same as the difference between Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming as a cover, the same is a cover but the effect is completely different.

Paul got such a high-quality cover and immediately shook off Rose, at which point Al Jefferson, who was defending Howard, pounced on Paul, but Paul jumped and drifted as if he didn't see the 7-foot-long man.

Paul's three-point is really difficult enough, it is too difficult to add, but it is such a difficult three-pointer, still drawing an ethereal arc, brushing into the Pelicans' basket with a sound.

With this three-pointer, the Bulls' bench exploded into jubilation, Phil Jackson waved his arms wildly, and in the last 37 seconds of the game, with only 37 seconds left in the game, his team overtook the score by one point.

There is nothing better than this, the next two rounds can be won as long as you play well, the first one qiē has no effect, all the one qiē is no longer zài, 37 seconds, two rounds, play these well, it is a victory.

And with Paul's basketball into the basket, the players on the Pelicans' side, with dry lips and straight eyes, were caught up like this, and the whole court's efforts turned into a must.

Li Feng also sighed regretfully, but at this time, Li Feng also began to bubble from his body, the reason is very simple, in fact, in his bones, Li Feng and Paul are very similar, they both have a spirit of resistance, the more they encounter a strong enemy, the more they have the will to fight.

It's just that Li Feng can usually see the overall situation of the whole team, and he is just a pawn to lead changes in the overall situation, Paul can't see this, and he is not very good at using his advantages to serve the team.

But at the critical moment, Li Feng and Paul are similar, the more they encounter a strong enemy, the more their hearts are boiling, and the more determined they are to fight and win.

Van Gundy's face sank like water. There was another timeout, at which point Van Gundy had no choice but to do so.

In the last 37 seconds of the game, being overtaken by the opponent, is there anything worse than this?

All of the Pelicans' players didn't look good at this time, but it didn't work, and none of them could stop the Bulls from moving forward.

Van Gundy clearly knows that he must do two things when he calls this timeout, the first is to stabilize the feelings of the players, and to be caught up by the opponent in the last time, which has the greatest impact on the players' hearts. The second point is to lay out the next tactics.

Van Gundy looked at his teammates with a small face, looking like the angry Jim Carrey in the movie, a little funny, but no one was in the mood to laugh at this time.

"There are 37 seconds left in the game, no matter what the opponent is, first we don't have time to feel depressed, forget the qiē we experienced tonight, from now on it is a new game, we and the Bulls have to fight each other in these two rounds."

"Forget a qiē. From now on, we will only have a chance of winning if we play these two rounds, and here are our tactics. ”

Van Gundy asks everyone to forget for a moment what Jì has experienced. Sometimes things are easy to say, but how difficult it is to actually do.

The Pelicans players are clearly a little mentally weak right now, and so is Van Gundy himself. But the game still had to go on, and Li Feng originally wanted to play according to tactics, but he heard Clumon Butler asking Rose there next to the sideline.

"Do you know where my location is?"

Rose is a veteran. But by this time Rose also seemed numb.

"If I knew the language, I wouldn't be so distressed."

It turned out that Ross didn't understand Van Gundy's final arrangement too much, which was okay, but now everyone didn't understand the situation clearly, Li Feng smiled bitterly in his heart at this time.

It seems that he can only do it himself, Li Feng stood on the court, stood in a row with the rest of the Pelicans, and then waited to receive the ball and attack immediately, because now there are only 37 seconds left, the Pelicans hit a ball quickly, and then even if the Bulls drag time, the Pelicans still have an offensive opportunity behind.

Two offensive chances were better than one, and as soon as the whistle blew, the Pelicans players bypassed their teammates and covered each other and ran away.

Nick Young happened to be in front of Li Feng, and he desperately blocked Li Feng's receiving route, and at this time, Li Feng was unintentionally the most threatening offensive point on the Pelicans' perimeter.

Nick Young tried his best to block Li Feng, but Li Feng had an advantage in physical quality and strength after facing Nick Yang, Nick Yang couldn't stop Li Feng at all, and Millsap on the sideline quickly passed the basketball out.

Li Feng put the basketball in his hand with one hand, the ball was in Li Feng's hand, he immediately glanced at the timer on it, and the ball took two seconds, Li Feng was two steps outside the three-point line at this time, and received the basketball Li Feng's tough breakthrough two steps to squeeze away Nick Yang and squeeze into the three-point line.

Li Feng didn't have a three-point line, and he could only swing his offensive power when he was inside the three-point line, Li Feng desperately broke through inside, but Van Gundy was yelling, it was obvious that Li Feng didn't play according to his tactics.

But at this time, Li Feng actually had some similarities with Paul in his heart, that is, the more he approached the strong enemy, the more he wanted to ask for battle.

Li Feng's position is not good, and the defensive pressure he faces is also very great, Phil Jackson's gambling at this time came again, and after Nick Young came up to defend, Tygibson in the back also pounced on Li Feng.

But Li Feng was not afraid of this, he jumped above the Bulls' free throw line, his whole body leaned back extremely, and raised the basketball high with both hands, Nick Young and Tygibson both jumped, but their hands were far from touching the basketball in Li Feng's hands.

The basketball was thrown high above the heads of Nick Young and Tygibson, and the basketball slammed into the rebound before falling into the basket.

Li Feng hit a ball, although he didn't play according to his own tactics, but Van Gundy still waved his arm excitedly, beautiful.

Charles Barkley also shouted:

"Beautiful, the T-Rex scored two points as fast as he could, so let me look at the time, there are still 30 seconds, even if the Bulls use up 30 seconds, the Pelicans still have one more chance to attack."

"Yes, the Pelicans still have a certain amount of initiative, but the Bulls also have their own advantages, they can play 2 or 3 points in these 30 seconds, and there are a lot of offensive options, which is not easy to do." Kenny Smith guessed the next step for the bulls, then shook his head.

Coach Phil Jackson of the Bulls also immediately called a timeout, and he was going to lay out this crucial attack.

The Pelicans players also returned to their benches, and Van Gundy saw his players coming over, and he immediately said:

"Now we can only defend this one ball and try to attack, the opponent will have a lot of offensive routes, after all, they have a lot of offensive rules, and I don't know who is going to be outside the three-point line with the ball."

"Now no matter who holds the ball on the outside, Tyrannosaurus Rex you have a single defense, release all your defensive ability, never let the ball handler shoot, and don't let him pass lightly, strangle them on the ball end."

"Al Jefferson continue your half-circle, don't let Howard catch the ball inside and form an inside attack, grab those two points, and then watch the passing route, the rest is up to our luck."

Van Gundy must also gamble at this time, Phil Jackson has already pressed all his chips, Van Gundy must do the same, not to mention that he is even less than Phil Jackson's chips. (To be continued......)
