Chapter 703: The Role of the Leader MVP

At this time, the Pelicans did not fight back against the opponent's toughness, but came over and still followed their own rhythm to a half-court tactic.

As soon as the Pelicans ran over, Millsap and Al Jefferson immediately stood on the two wings to cover Li Feng and Arenas, who ran up from the baseline and looked like they had drawn two circles in the shape of glasses on the court.

This is two no-ball tactics that were launched at the same time, but Li Feng suddenly paused in the middle of the penalty area, and went over to make a cover for Arenas, allowing Arenas to run to the other side first, and then Li Feng continued to run in circles and stuck to the bull to catch the basketball.

The Pelicans' continuous rapid runs finally disrupted the opposing defense, and the Trail Blazers two players came to defend Li Feng. Li Feng hit the ball and passed the ball to the ground, and in the hands of Al Jefferson behind Robin Lopez, Al Jefferson had already walked to the basket cunningly, and received the ball with both hands and scored directly.

The pace of the game doesn't seem to have changed, the Pelicans still attack as a whole, and the Trail Blazers still rely on individual singles, but the atmosphere of the game has changed a little.

The Pelicans are unconsciously slacking off, but the Trailblazers are accumulating strength.

When Lillard came in possession again, the Trail Blazers played a trademark offense, and when Lillard appeared on the left sideline in possession, the Trail Blazers immediately ceded all the left to Lillard, and all four players were concentrated in the high post on the right, which looked like a small bomb tactic.

At this time, Lillard came over with the ball, and instead of singled out Rose, he took the ball and paused slightly, just at this moment.

The Trail Blazers players realized that Lillard was playing as a team, not heads-up. Aldridge immediately ran sideways to cover Lillard.

Lillard took the ball around Aldridge and took a step inside to break inside, and then as the opposing defense intercepted, he ran around a U-shape from behind Aldridge to the top of the arc.

Lillard was very nimble, as if it were a drawn thread. All at once it came out of the middle of the Pelicans' defense.

In this position, he quickly passed the ball to Batum, who took the ball and immediately transferred it to Matthews on the baseline.

Matthews hit several shots in a row in the first half today, and as soon as he got the ball, the opponent immediately pounced, and Matthews took a step sideways and shot 2 points. The Trail Blazers still hit the shot!

Once Lillard focuses on the organization, he can always find good shooting opportunities for his teammates.

In this round of offense, Lillard used his ability to create opportunities as a supply and demand guard, and then the Trail Blazers immediately scored points in an efficient way.

The Trail Blazers were even better than in the first half! The whole Trailblazer is still not going berserk! It's something that neither Van Gundy nor Hubby Brown can imagine.

The Trail Blazers already had the meaning of overplaying in the first half, but now the second half is even more extraordinary than the first, which is simply an incredible thing.

When the Pelicans encountered such a stubborn opponent, they immediately played the glasses tactic of drawing circles on both sides!

But this time Al Jefferson came out to cover. There was a slight movement under his feet, and Lillard, who bumped into Al Jefferson, immediately screamed.

Now Lillard is a popular star in the league, and when he screams like this, Al Jefferson really has some disadvantage under his feet.

The referee immediately gave Al Jefferson a foul and the ball was returned to the Trail Blazers.

In the face of such an unfair punishment, Al Jefferson could only swallow his anger because of the language barrier.

Lillard cheated the foul and grabbed an offensive opportunity.

This time the Trail Blazers came over, and the Trail Blazers played a simple and clear tactic. Lillard gave the basketball directly to Aldridge to play the basket, and Aldridge sat down and immediately turned around and passed the basketball to Lillard.

When Lillard received the ball, he was half a step away from the three-point line, and the moment he got the ball, he leaned forward, and Rose hurriedly retreated. Lillard got up and threw a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

Lillard's three-pointer hit, and the Trail Blazers' bench was lively again. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 5 points in a row and overtook the score.

Pioneer 62-61. One more point than the Pelicans. The Trail Blazers opened with such ferocity, and Van Gundy immediately frowned, ran to the edge of the court and roared to keep the team on good defense.

The Trail Blazers overtook it. Antoine Walker also said immediately:

"The Trailblazers don't look relenting right now! It was better than in the first half. ”

Hubbie Brown also had to say at this time:

"The Pioneer is really evil today! They were good enough in the first half to shoot and play, but now they came back in the second half and played even better. Could it be that the Trail Blazers are in this super state for the whole game today? ”

In the midst of Hubi Brown's questioning, the Pelican basketball finally reached Li Feng's hands. Li Feng quickly cleared the court at this time, and the two players on both sides of the Pelicans immediately covered the 45-degree cover and ran out directly to catch the ball.

At this time, the Pelicans' offense was much simpler than the first two rounds, and the play was more realistic, Arenas came out to catch the ball, and then turned back and passed to Millsap, who was in the position of the low post.

The Pelicans were chased by the Trail Blazers, and Li Feng did not choose to go it alone, but still trusted his teammates to pass the basketball out.

This choice was a little disappointing for fans at the New Orleans Arena, but it was understandable.

Millsap took the ball and sat down, only to find that Aldridge was really desperate at this time, desperately pushing himself out.

Just when Millsap was struggling to understand, Al Jefferson helped Li Feng block Batum from behind. Al Jefferson, on his side, resisted the man, and shouted at Millsap:

"This way, this way, this way!"

Millsap looked up and saw that Al Jefferson had blocked Batum, and Li Feng was just vacant behind Al Jefferson.

He immediately threw the basketball out, Li Feng took the ball outside the three-point line and paused, and Robin Lopez of the Trail Blazers did not rush out.

The Trail Blazers actually put their own three-point shot!

Li Feng is good at playing team basketball, but now that the other party is completely letting himself go, Li Feng has no reason not to make a move.

Outside the three-point line, Li Feng shot directly, and the basketball smashed into the hoop, and then he actually spit it out again.

Li Feng's own luck was bad, the Pelicans' offense failed!

Once the Pelicans offense fails. The Trail Blazers seized the opportunity and quickly chased up, and Lillard took the ball and the Trail Blazers came over and made a double cover for Lillard on one side.

Lillard used the double cover to get under the basket, and suddenly the pass was thrown into the hands of Batum on the weak side, who jumped forward with the ball and threw a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The Trail Blazers hit another three-pointer, 65-61, and the Trail Blazers led the Pelicans by four points. The Trail Blazers were four points behind before the opening and now have a four-point lead in one go.

Although the difference of 4 points is not large, after such a wave of offense, the morale of the Blazers has risen again.

Today, the Trail Blazers had a high shooting percentage. Now that the momentum comes together, it's up to the Trail Blazers to sweep away the depressed feeling of the first half.

The whole team is full of fighting spirit and seems to be ready to sweep the Pelicans at any time.

The Trailblazers had a high shooting percentage in the first half, but they still had a high shooting percentage in the second half, and it flooded to the point where the whole team was furious.

Trailblazers today are wave higher than the wave, wave after wave stronger! In the case that all the numbers are inferior to the opponent, he actually carried the opponent hard, and now he is overtaking.

The Pelicans were beaten like this by the opponent in a row, and they were easily overtaken. The whole team is also a little disgraced.

At this time, Van Gundy hurriedly went to the sideline and yelled, wanting to strengthen the Pelicans' defense and make the team nervous. But the Pelicans played too loose in the first half, and it was impossible to suddenly make the team nervous at this time.

The Pelicans made a quick half-court play at this point. Rose took the ball and made a quick break down the touchline and turned back to pass to Millsap, who was standing in the high post.

Millsap also has a mid-range, the Trail Blazers pounced to defend, and Millsap gave the basketball to Li Feng to deal with.

This is a stalemate between the two sides. needed to stick to the opponent's key ball, and in the end it fell into Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng insisted on playing as a team in the first half, but now he sees that the Trail Blazers are wave after wave. Lillard is getting braver the more he fights.

Li Feng also felt that it was impossible for him not to kill people in today's game. If you don't move, you can't press the other party.

So Li Feng didn't pass the ball this time, but held the ball and continuously opened the distance backwards, completely opening up the space, and seeing Batum chasing him, Li Feng suddenly changed direction under his crotch and rushed up to the basket along the sideline.

Li Feng rushed very fast this time, which was very inconsistent with Li Feng's simple style of play before, and Batum's defense was not in place, so Li Feng got in all of a sudden. Li Feng drilled under the Trail Blazers' basket, and seeing Robin Lopez coming up, he shrank to the other side of the basket with a backhook.

Li Feng finally scored two points for the team himself.

Li Feng was originally the darling of the New Orleans Arena, and now once he scores, the fans of the New Orleans Arena finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The fans cheered together on the sidelines, and the fans used cheers to dispel the murderous aura brought by the Trail Blazers just now, so that the majesty of the home court suppressed the Trail Blazers' upward momentum.

When Li Feng scored, and the bottom line of the Trail Blazers just opened the basketball out, Van Gundy immediately went to the sideline and yelled:

"Bag Clip!"

At Van Gundy's yell, Rose and Millsap sped together towards Lillard's frantic bag. The Pelicans took out the defensive skills of the housekeeper, and the sudden bag clamp was unbearable in the face of this kind of bag and general guard.

But at this time, even in the face of two people's pressing defense, he has a steady rhythm, using his body to lean on the opponent's lateral dribble, and then suddenly turn around and pull back, and then turn around the bridge and take the Pelicans two players back two big steps, without losing the ball or panicking.

Just as Millsap was considering whether to withdraw, Lillard suddenly threw the basketball to the Pelicans' basket with one hand in the gap between the two people.

At this time, Robin Lopez happened to run here, flew up to catch the ball with both hands, and smashed the basketball into the Pelicans' basket with a two-handed dunk.

Lillard's counterattack was so sharp, under the double defense, he could still find teammates, and he could also pass a sharp air relay.

At this moment, Li Feng wondered if Lillard had a clairvoyant eye, otherwise how could he see Robin Lopez's position through heavy defense?

Lillard breaks the Pelicans and presses the defense! After Robin Lopez succeeded in the dunk, he also roared excitedly! The Trailblazers couldn't stop going berserk.

Li Feng only scored 2 points for the back and forth breakthrough just now, and now the Trail Blazers came over and won an aerial relay under the Pelicans' super defense.

This momentum impact on the Trail Blazers was a complete victory over the Pelicans. Seeing that the momentum of the pioneers this wave is unbearable, it can't be suppressed.

The Pelicans came over, Li Feng came up to get the ball immediately, and when he got the basketball, Li Feng was also entangled in his heart.

At this time, if you beat it hard, you may ruin the atmosphere of the whole team before! But if he didn't fight hard, Li Feng was a little worried.

This thought flashed through Li Feng's mind, and then Li Feng thought that this was not the time to hesitate.

Any team needs the leader to step up and complete the crucial blow at a critical moment, and it has nothing to do with the team.

At critical moments, special tactics must be used. Li Feng was psychologically firm, and he took the ball and looked at the Trail Blazers' lineup fiercely.

At this time, Li Feng came over. made a gesture to his teammates, and his teammates immediately compressed towards the bottom line, giving up the huge space at the top of the arc to Li Feng.

Batum faced Li Feng alone, he immediately felt lonely and helpless, he had lost to Li Feng too many times before, just when Batum was a little mentally bottomless, Stotts on the sideline of the court almost jumped into the court and yelled at Robin Lopez.

"Help! Help him defend! ”

Stotts yelled at Robin Lopez, who immediately pulled out and stood behind Batum.

In this way, Batum's heart immediately calmed down. It's here when the mind is a little steady.

Li Feng took the ball and suddenly looked like a bird, pulled the ball with one hand and suddenly reached forward, and his footsteps also strode forward.

Li Feng's arm movements were very large, and his steps were extremely fierce.

Batum subconsciously retreated. Robin Lopez subconsciously moved up, just as the two of them made moves at the same time.

Li Feng stepped back and rose from the ground, throwing a middle distance directly on the heads of the two people.

One of Li Feng's previous feints was completely shaken away, Batum. also completely deceived Robin Lopez, but Li Feng's shot was a little worse, and the basketball hit the hoop and flew out directly.

Although Li Feng has all kinds of abilities. But he can't control his character, and after Li Feng completely shook off his opponent, he missed the shot.

After missing the shot, Li Feng himself shook his head depressedly, it seemed that his hand feeling was very average today, and he couldn't rely on long-range shots to solve the problem.

Next, I have to figure out how to break through and play in the low post.

Li Feng ran back depressedly, and at this time the Trail Blazers grabbed the rebound, but they quickly advanced again.

At this point, Lillard was on the ball, and as soon as he ran over, Robin Lopez made a cover from beyond the three-point line.

For such a cover, Lillard swung the ball left and right, and suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Pelicans' basket.

When Rose, who was following Lillard, hurriedly chased Lillard, he saw Lillard rush to the Pelicans' three-point line, and then withstood Rose, controlled the ball with one hand, kicked the ground with his left foot, and stepped forward with his right foot, once the foot landed. Lillard immediately stepped back to the side with the pedaling power of his right foot.

In the midst of the lunge, Lillard suddenly made a step-back move, throwing Rose away in one fell swoop, and at this moment Lillard raised his hand and threw another three-pointer.

Contrary to Li Feng, Li Feng's long-range shooting is very poor, but Lillard's long-range shooting is wide open.

With a flick of Lillard's wrist, the basketball fell into the basket with a thud, and Lillard scored another three-pointer.

As a result, all the players on the Trail Blazers' side went crazy, and all the Trail Blazers players on and off the court laughed to their hearts, and at the same time, they were all full of passion.

At the same time, Lillard also rewrote the score of the two teams to 70-63, and the Trail Blazers took the Pelicans by seven points in stride.

In the second half, the Pelicans didn't have a lot of power, and the Trail Blazers gave the Pelicans a mouthful first. At this time, Van Gundy was also angry, and after scoring on the Trail Blazers' side, he immediately shouted at the court:

"Why not wrap the clip? Why not wrap on him! ”

Van Gundy accused his players of not wrapping up Lillard, and then he immediately yelled at Li Feng:

"Li Feng, what are you waiting for? Now is not the time to wait, give them a great taste, give them a great taste, you are the real MVP! ”

Van Gundy frantically yelled at the court, and the Pelicans players were also a little depressed by the Trail Blazers at this time.

All of them looked very ugly, and Hubi Brown also said on the sidelines at this time:

"The Trail Blazers absolutely did an extraordinary job today! Lillard, in particular. Now it's time to see how well the pelicans can respond to unexpected situations. ”

Now because of the anger, the Pelicans are starting to move more on the court, and the Trail Blazers players are also moving more because of their excitement.

The players of both teams moved bigger, and the struggle on the pitch became fierce, in the midst of this fierce confrontation.

Li Feng bravely suddenly took advantage of the cover of his teammates, ran to the flank and got the basketball again, and Li Feng got the basketball this time.

The Pelicans' players still gave up half of the court to Li Feng, and at the same time looked at Batum who was defending Li Feng with sympathetic eyes, and Robin Lopez who followed behind. (To be continued......)
