Chapter 713: No One Wants to Lose

At this time, Van Gundy also realized that the Pelicans might not be able to catch up with this regular style of play, so he called a timeout and prepared to arrange a special tactic.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams fought too intensely, and at this time Doug Collins was also more excited and said:

"At the end of the race, the intensity is finally out! This regular season has reached the intensity of the playoffs, and every ball, every round of tactics and play is meticulously carved. That's the only way to make the game exciting. ”

Mike Brown also said:

"Yes! The intensity of the game in the fourth quarter was really different from the first three quarters. If the Thunder play like this every game, there is hope for a championship! ”

The game was intense, and the intensity was completely beyond the impression of a Thunder team.

Van Gundy knew that the situation was very dangerous now, and he arranged tactics at this time, so he said to Li Feng in particular:

"Li Feng, now there is no hope for us to chase points through the normal way. I'm giving you free remarks, as long as you can hit the ball, and I care how you hit it. You can be free offensively, but you must not be free on defense, you must hold them down for me! ”

Van Gundy's side was in a hurry when he saw that the score really couldn't catch up, and gave Li Feng the right to fire freely.

After the timeout, the Pelicans kicked off, but the Pelicans just kicked the basketball out, and the Thunder suddenly came up and pressed the defense.

In this case, Li Feng took the ball and saw that the opponent's defense was coming, and immediately passed the ball to Rose, who was waiting in the middle.

Rose's previous performance was average, but now at this time, seeing that the opponent is wrapping Li Feng, he suddenly broke through and rushed out, taking advantage of the opponent's defensive chaos, Rose hit the ground and passed to Al Jefferson on the bottom line, Al Jefferson took the ball and leaned against the opponent to throw it.

The Pelicans are back from a timeout, and it's not just Li Feng who is active. The other players are also very active.

103-98, the Thunder immediately chased over, and Westbrook passed the ball steadily to Durant at the wing card at this time.

Durant came over with the ball at this time, and he also found some assists, and he also scored nearly 10 assists today.

This was unthinkable for Durant before, who was a pure offensive player and now has so many assists.

He also slightly realized the benefits of some assists, at this time he did not attack by himself, but took the ball to the bottom line one step later, and wanted to cross and throw the basketball into the hands of the empty player in the opposite corner.

Durant thinks it's not bad. But the bottom line is almost impossible to cross, and his ball is thrown.

Li Feng immediately flew high and stole Durant's pass in the restricted area.

Li Feng stole Durant's pass at once, Scott Brooks immediately grinned on the side, and Mike Brown also said:

"Durant is not a mature passer after all, and the baseline pass is used to hit the ground! With a high-altitude ball, it is too difficult for so many big men to pass through the bottom line. ”

Durant made a mistake, Li Feng immediately dribbled to catch up, and Li Feng broke through the middle. The Thunder defense was turned upside down.

At this time, he happened to see Arenas on the left side rushing up from behind, and Li Feng hurriedly passed the ball to Arenas.

Here Arenas attacks the basket with the ball, just as Arenas attacks the basket. Durant also flew back, he came over with a block, although it was not a ball to Arenas, but Arenas was also affected.

Arenas missed a layup. Durant was able to catch up after a passing error, and the defensive intensity of the Thunder has also increased dramatically.

"Oops! General, be steady! ”

When Su Qun sighed at home, the Thunder grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and quickly chased it back.

Thunder came over this time. Westbrook singled out Rose on the flank, and Rose desperately reached out to defend at this time, and inadvertently swept Westbrook's nose all at once.

The referee didn't see it either, so Westbrook himself couldn't play alone, and turned around and passed the basketball to Durant.

Durant also has some passing habits at the top of the arc, and today he completely went against his rhythm, passing a lot, and passing the ball directly to Perry Jones on the side, but Perry Jones did not go against his habit and threw a three-pointer in front of Al Jefferson.

Al Jefferson went up to harass, and Perry Jones missed the three-pointer immediately, so the Thunder wasted an opportunity to fight back.

At this critical moment, Perry Jones also wasted chances, and Scott Brooks was on the side and was almost. He immediately went over and scolded Perry Jones, who ran down his head towards his own half.

The Pelicans immediately chased after him, but the situation on the Pelicans' side was not very good, Li Feng took the ball and forcibly rushed over, throwing a high-throwing eraser, but the result was also missed.

Li Feng's own high throw also missed, and the Pelicans were under a lot of pressure, and now the score is still 103-98, and the Thunder are still 5 points ahead.

The Thunder took the lead, Westbrook came over and passed the ball to Durant, who once again leaned on Arenas with his back and hit hard.

Durant's physical condition is indeed good, and the Pelicans' defense was immediately changed when he forced in, and the restricted area was suddenly vacated a lot, so Steven Adams suddenly found an opportunity and quickly cut up.

When he was in the air, Durant made a timely pass, and Steven Adams took advantage of the situation as if he was up and attacking the basket.

But at this time, the Thunder played hard, the Pelicans also played hard, and Millsap, who was on the court, followed, and behind Steven Adams, a big hat, and a slap nailed the basketball to the rebound.

"Whoa!"

Millsap suddenly came back to power, and the Thunder's home court was full of exclamations, which was simply amazing.

Once Millsap blocked, he took the basketball and turned his head to pass to Li Feng, Li Feng took the ball here and broke through two steps on the sideline, and suddenly a pass was sent to Al Jefferson in the front court, and Al Jefferson took the ball and dunked it.

"Bang!"

The Pelicans chased four points in a row, shortening the score to 103-100, and the Thunder suddenly led the opponent by 3 points.

At this time, it was Scott Brooks' turn to call a timeout, and they had the advantage, but there were several mistakes in a row. The difference is shortened.

At this time, Scott Brooks was a little dissatisfied with the team's haste, and his team actually made several undeserved mistakes in a row at critical moments, which is simply a sin.

Scott Brooks set up a timeout to stop the turnover, but after the timeout, the Thunder re-kicked off the line.

Perry Jones passed the basketball out, and Westbrook, who had never made a mistake for ten thousand years, took the ball at this time and wanted to pass the ball inside, but when Li Feng rushed over, he wanted to throw the basketball to Sefrosa.

When Westbrook hesitated slightly, Rose immediately went up to steal, and Westbrook accidentally smashed the ball on himself in order to flash Rose. Then rolled out of the bottom line and actually made a mistake.

Westbrook misses! At this point, Scott Brooks really had nothing to say.

When the Thunder made a mistake, the Pelicans kicked off on the sideline, and Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt and slowly advanced to the opponent's half.

Li Feng took the ball up at this time, and immediately commanded his teammates to disperse and pull out the space at the top of the entire arc.

After having space, Al Jefferson suddenly came up to cover Li Feng, and at this time, Sefrosa glanced back at Al Jefferson.

Li Feng took advantage of such an opportunity, and when Al Jefferson had not yet come up, he suddenly broke through to the front.

Li Feng broke through in front of the body. Sefrosa couldn't keep up behind him, and Perry Jones was delayed by Al Jefferson again, seeing that Li Feng was about to go in.

Perry Jones could only turn around and give Li Feng a palm, hoping to cut off the basketball. But he didn't cut the basketball off, and the referee's whistle blew. Li Feng even took advantage of his strength to change hands, holding the ball in his left hand and throwing the basketball towards the opponent's basket.

"Smack!"

The basketball jumped twice on the hoop and then actually jumped in.

That's it. The Thunder's home court was a sigh, and Li Feng actually shot like this.

After Li Feng shot, he also raised his magical left hand and celebrated unscrupulously on the opponent's home field.

went to the free throw line, and Li Feng hit a free throw. As a result, the Pelicans actually took advantage of the opponent's mistakes to tie the score by 103-103.

Where is Doug Collins shaking his head at this time:

"It's incredible that the Thunder made so many mistakes at this time! These are fatal mistakes. ”

"It may be the first time the Thunder have played this year's Pelicans, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it!"

Mike Brown was speculating on the side, but Doug Collins was quick to say:

"In this way, the Pelicans are also playing the Thunder for the first time, their lineup is not as good as the Thunder, the main force of the Thunder has not changed for so many years, and the Pelicans were only formed this year, everyone should be about the same!"

The Pelicans quickly retreated back, and the Thunder were in a hurry to advance this time. Westbrook passed the ball to Sefrosa, who waited on the wing for Durant to run over with cover before giving the basketball to Durant.

The game on the Thunder's side still depends on Durant, who took the ball on the wing, dribbled and forced Arenas to take a step, then stepped up and threw a jump shot, but it was just when he jumped.

Al Jefferson and Li Feng were caught together, and the ball from three people was shot, and Durant's ball popped out of the frame.

Durant's key single also missed, and the home fans immediately exclaimed, and Al Jefferson grabbed the rebound and ran towards the front while passing the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng didn't stop taking the ball here, coming up along the middle road, using the cover of his teammates, and then changing direction with one hand, he hit the Thunder's three-point line.

At this position, Li Feng took the ball and twisted out of the standard European step, and suddenly flashed Durant who came over to help defend. Li Feng changed hands in the air, picked up his left hand, and sent the basketball to the basket.

Li Feng overtook the score this time, and all of a sudden, the Pelicans' bench players jumped up.

The Pelicans erupted all at once, and the whole team cheered and shouted, and they celebrated wildly under the eyes of the thunder.

The pelican played out all of a sudden, and Su Qun also said immediately at this time in China:

"Many of the Thunder's consecutive mistakes during this period of time were unforced mistakes. In the case of your own mistakes, you can't score, so you give points to your opponent in vain. Now that the Pelicans have caught up, the morale has also come out, and the Thunder is to blame! ”

The Thunder are indeed in trouble now, in this case. The Thunder's players are more or less hairy.

However, it was also at this time that Westbrook's role came into play, and he hit again, and he used the cover to go around and suddenly raised his hand, and Rose jumped, and he came up and cheated Rose into a foul.

At the critical moment, it was Westbrook who had the ability to cheat and foul to get two points.

After deceiving these two points, Westbrook also immediately came over and yelled at his teammates:

"Cheer up, there's still three minutes! Hold on for three minutes and the victory will be ours. Forget about the past. Start over now! ”

Westbrook is a player in the end, and he plays the role of a coach on the side of the pitch and boosts everyone's morale.

In Westbrook's roar, the Thunder's desperation was really dispelled a lot, and Westbrook hit both free throws on the free throw line, and the scores of the two teams were tied.

Scott Brooks, who was listening clearly on the sidelines at this time, was very satisfied at this time, and the Thunder finally began to stabilize in the midst of continuous mistakes. But at this time, the Thunder made a mistake, and the Pelicans caught up. Morale is also higher.

Li Feng took advantage of the situation to get the ball in the backcourt at this time, and immediately advanced up with the ball, and after coming over, Li Feng faced Sefrosa and dribbled under his crotch continuously. Then suddenly broke through the middle, when the Thunder's entire team defense pounced.

Li Feng threw the basketball outside, and Al Jefferson on the outside shook the ball with both hands, and then suddenly broke through. Al Jefferson's speed is not passable, but in the Thunder's already chaotic defense, he suddenly took a small jump. jumped up, then threw the basketball into the Thunder's basket with a one-handed throw.

The Pelicans scored another point, 107-105, and continued to open the score.

The game entered a stalemate for the third time, and the winner of the game was sure to break the deadlock.

It's time to decide the outcome of the game, and the Thunder must have played the most deterrent combination.

Westbrook and Durant did a pick-and-roll combination, and Westbrook suddenly passed the ball to Durant on the wing.

Durant took the ball this time and dribbled towards the baseline, and a small mid-range shot was a clean shot.

The Thunder are now finally out of the turnover and scoring drought, and Durant has also played his key scoring ability.

The Thunder's home court also began to cheer at this time, and in the midst of their cheers, Al Jefferson took the ball here and suddenly sent a long-distance pass to the basketball to Rose, who had already run to the center.

Rose took the ball and broke through quickly, but he couldn't shake off Westbrook's defense, and he didn't form a fast break with the ball, so he could only pass the basketball to Li Feng, who followed later.

The moment Li Feng received the ball here was to control the ball, dribbling under the crotch continuously, probing forward with the ball with his left hand, then retracting and continuing to dribble in the crotch, and then another probe, this time Sefrosa moved backwards.

Li Feng stepped back hard with his front foot, and jumped out of the three-point line backwards, which was a standard step backwards, throwing off the space Li Feng got up and threw a three-point shot.

Sefrosa was thrown away, there was no way to defend at all, and then it was up to Li Feng's three-point shot.

"Huh!"

smashed into the opponent's basket at once, Li Feng was at this moment, and all the Pelicans players cheered.

Because of this ball, Li Feng's every shake from holding the ball to attacking is extremely classic, continuous crotch, continuous probing steps, and the last step-back three-point jumper are all perfect offenses.

The rhythm is perfect, the technique is perfect, and the shooting is perfect. Li Feng abused Sefrosa on the opposite side with a perfect individual single.

And also led the team to continue to lead the Thunder 110-107, Li Feng's appearance is a big deal for Doug Collins and Mike Brown.

Scott Brooks immediately rushed over and asked Durant to defend Li Feng. He had already seen that Sefrosa couldn't defend Li Feng, who was furious, and only stars could deal with stars, because their bodies could form confrontations.

The Thunder was chased by the Pelicans so fiercely for a three-pointer, and Westbrook hit it and immediately organized the team to prepare for a counterattack.

At this time, the Thunder played a good tactic, the space was completely opened, and Durant suddenly passed the ball to Perry Jones, who cut in.

Perry Jones didn't dare to attack at will this time, and jumped with the ball, but passed the basketball to Steven Adams under the basket.

Steven Adams arched Millsap with the ball under the basket, and he was about to get up to complete the offense, but just as he got up, Li Feng flew up from behind and a big hat with a pegboard.

"Bang!"

The basketball was firmly on the rebound, and Steven Adams yelled at this time to cheat the foul, but the referee ignored him at all.

The rebound was grabbed by Millsap on one side, and the Pelicans completed the defense again, and Li Feng and Millsap formed two insurmountable walls inside and outside.

After the Pelicans made consecutive turnovers on the other side, the offense also showed morale, and the defense also played morale.

Li Feng took the ball over again in the backcourt, and the Thunder fans had already stood up to watch the game, and the whole court was shouting in an attempt to interfere with Li Feng and the Pelicans.

But at this time, Li Feng's state has been adjusted to a fixed point, and he has completely played out, and at this time, in the face of the Thunder's heavy defense, he also broke through the left side with the ball, and suddenly collapsed the left wing of the Thunder.

When the Thunder wrapped up Li Feng here, Li Feng turned around and passed the ball to Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson made a quick response ball, and the basketball flew directly to Rose in the bottom corner.

Al Jefferson's response shot was too fast and too accurate, and Rose was in the open position when he got there, and Rose made a three-pointer in the open position.

"Huh!"

The Pelicans hit again, and this time the score of the two teams became 113-107, and the Pelicans led the opponent by 6 points. (To be continued......)
