The Trail Blazers can only be regarded as a dessert for the Pelicans, Li Feng almost relied on the last few minutes to defeat the opponent, and next, the Pelicans will meet a strong opponent, the league's top seed Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls flew from Chicago to New Orleans.

As soon as Howard got off the plane, he immediately retracted his head and muttered:

"Damn weather!"

It turned out that the east of Chicago was still very warm, but the weather was already very cold here in New Orleans, so Howard immediately shrank back when he came out, put on a dress and walked out.

The Bulls walked out of the plane, but they didn't expect that in the airport, not a single Bulls fan came to pester them.

At this time, the Bulls' Nick Young is more strange, this kind of thing is too rare, there were always some fans in the past, but today there is no one in the airport in New Orleans.

When Nick Young thought so, he asked Paul beside him:

"It seems that there are really few fans in New Orleans, and even now there are no fans coming!"

Paul rolled his eyes when he heard Nick Young ask, and said:

"Do you think we're in Chicago right now, we're in New Orleans, and we're so entangled with the Pelicans that the locals don't necessarily hate us!"

Nick Young said depressedly:

"No, it won't!"

But just as Nick Young said this, he immediately saw a few guys wearing Pelican jerseys at the entrance of the airport hall, holding a sign high with a sign written in large letters:

"Chicago trash, get back!"

Although the number of fans of this group of pelicans is small, the brand that makes zuò is very large, and the words on it are also very dazzling. When he saw this, Howard was furious.

Phil Jackson's brows furrowed even tighter at this time, and the Pelicans will have such a big grudge, the pressure is already very great, and the pressure on the home court of the team at the New Orleans Arena will be even greater, and this game will be really difficult to play at that time.

Phil Jackson was worried here, and Howard was very angry and said to Jimmy Butler:

"These New Orleans people are rude enough, and we must not let them feel good when we get to Chicago!"

Jimmy Butler was silent, and then he said:

"It looks like it's going to be tough tomorrow. If New Orleans Arena becomes a devil's home field, Howard is the most dangerous place for you. ”

As soon as Howard heard Jimmy Butler say this, he immediately raised an eyebrow and said:

"Why, they still dare to say that I blow down!"

"It's not impossible, you know, our offensive system can't do anything without you, Dwight better be careful tomorrow!"

Jimmy Butler is here to tell this Howard very well-mannered.

But Howard doesn't think so, and now that Howard is a star-level figure in the league, he doesn't think that referee will find a way to send him off.

The Bulls' men pretended not to see the big sign put up in front of the airport by the fans, got on the bus and rushed to the hotel. But when they got off the bus at the hotel, they saw a group of Pelican fans in front of the hotel, and these fans were also holding a big sign that read:

"The Bulls. You're welcome to New Orleans, but I beg your pardon that you don't need to charter a flight back because. We're going to eat roast beef! ”

And then there was a Pelican fan in the back, holding two smaller signs that read:

"The main ingredient for roasting whole beef has arrived, and the massacre has begun!"

I saw these signs put up by Pelican fans back and forth. The players of the Bulls team are all angry and their heads are smoking, even if they insult us, they still want to slaughter us, this tone is a little too big.

This is simply not the same thing as our Bulls, who are all angry with the players and coaches, but Phil Jackson smells a special smell from behind these signs.

"Could it be that the Pelicans really want to slaughter us, how dare they, how can they have such great ambitions."

Howard walked into the hotel in an unusual atmosphere, and when he entered the door, he wanted to turn on the TV to relieve his boredom, but as soon as the TV was turned on, it was the local sports program of New Orleans TV station.

There were two local New Orleans basketball commentators on TV who were being interviewed by a TV reporter, only to hear the TV reporter ask the two basketball critics.

"How do you think the Pelicans-Bulls game will end tomorrow, and what do our Pelicans need to do if they want to win?"

Howard turned on the TV and heard such a topic, he immediately threw something on the bed, and then listened intently to what the two bastards on the TV said, and sure enough, the two guys couldn't spit out ivory from their mouths, and saw the white man on the left, who opened his mouth and said:

"We Pelicans have a big chance of winning tomorrow's game, after all, the Bulls have a clear gap with us, and the chances of winning on their home court will be greater, as for what to pay attention to, I think as long as the referee is not biased, we should be able to do it!"

When Howard heard him say this, he had an urge to smash the TV, and actually said that as long as the referee was not biased against the Pelicans, he could win, and that was not a complete disdain for our Bulls.

When Howard was angrily trying to smash the TV, he heard the reporter on the TV continue to ask:

"If we play properly, can we win by 30 points!"

After the reporter finished saying this, he looked at another football commentator and said quickly:

"Of course, it's very likely that you're talking about it!"

Howard heard this, the group of people in New Orleans actually treated the Bulls as meat on the board, and completely despised the Bulls, Howard couldn't help it anymore, angrily pressed the remote control, turned off the TV, and fell on the bed with his head up.

The more Howard thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he got angry all night, and the next day he got up Howard was depressed all night. Weird screamed and went to Jimmy Butler and told him all about it.

Jimmy Butler was also very annoyed after hearing this, and then the whole Bulls team knew the attitude of the Pelicans, the Pelicans actually wanted to slaughter themselves in New Orleans, and these people in New Orleans still had great confidence in the Pelicans slaughtering themselves, and the whole Bulls were extremely annoyed when they thought of them.

It was agreed that they would teach the Pelicans a lesson tonight, but when they showed up outside the New Orleans arena on the bus in the evening, the Bulls saw a crowd of Pelicans fans outside the New Orleans arena like a swarm of wasps.

These fans are completely different from the mood of Chicago fans, and the fans at New Orleans Arena are obviously much more crazy. These New Orleans Arena fans, all wearing yellow jerseys or yellow ground clothes, consciously organized outside the New Orleans Arena.

Clusters of Pelican fans, all of whom made their own huge flags and huge placards, shook desperately, and saw the madness outside the New Orleans arena.

Howard was a little surprised, he had been to the New Orleans arena before, but the New Orleans arena had never been so crazy. Why is it so crazy today,

Howard felt that something was wrong, so he asked Jimmy Butler next to him:

"How did the New Orleans arena become like this, I don't remember being so crazy before. Such a crazy home stadium is Salt Lake City or Auburn Hills! ”

When Paul heard Howard say this, he immediately shook his head and said:

"How do I know why these guys at the New Orleans Arena have become madmen."

At this time, Hinrich, who is generally not very noticeable on the Bulls, said:

"Hmph. We're number one in the league, they're second in the league, and if they win this game, we're going to have to swap for it. Coupled with Li Feng's grievances with us in the Knicks, the media will also guide public opinion towards this development! ”

Howard heard the old thing speak, and he immediately leaned over to Hinrich and asked:

"Old thing, could it be that we have contributed to this situation at the New Orleans Arena now!"

Sinrich himself smiled and said:

"Of course, we made the Pelicans box office, and tonight, you have to be prepared to be under pressure!"

Howard was just about to say that there can be any pressure, and we are not afraid of any pressure, and at this moment, looking at the side of the New Orleans Arena court, those fans began to rush towards the bulls' bus, and these people rushed over and shouted:

"Slaughter, slaughter, slaughter!"

And the Pelicans fans all rushed to the bus, waving their arms and shouting outside the window, and the Pelican fans rushed over at this time, and there were one or two hundred people, and these two hundred people roared around the bus.

The faces of these players of the Bulls in the bus immediately changed, and when this real pressure was pressed on their bodies, it was not a matter of talking, and the Pelicans fans were running outside the bus as if they were terrorists.

The pressure on the Bulls was considerable, and the security guards managed to evict the fans, and then the Bulls' bus drove into the underground parking lot of the New Orleans Arena, and the Bulls players immediately let out a long breath after getting out of the bus.

Nick Young wiped the sweat from his head and said:

"The fans at the New Orleans arena are too savage, and I've never seen such a savage and crazy home stadium."

Phil Jackson also had a bad face, and at this time he couldn't imagine what kind of storm would be bred at the New Orleans Arena.

Howard and his entourage went to the locker room to rest, but they were still concerned, feeling that today's New Orleans Arena home court was really a little crazy, and they were a little unstable when they saw their players.

Phil Jackson hurriedly came in to comfort his teammates and told them some words of encouragement.

Phil Jackson came to comfort everyone and encourage everyone, the less courageous nature is more useful, and I feel a lot more comfortable, but Paul is not afraid of players, so he feels that these people at the New Orleans Arena are really too deceitful, and his side must take revenge.

While the Bulls were going through this, the Pelicans players were also in the locker room, but unlike Phil Jackson, who wanted to wake up the team, Van Gundy is now hypnotizing his players.

"It's our home stadium, and when we get to our home stadium, I think you should know what we should do!"

"Shut up those guys completely!"

At this time, Li Feng immediately said.

Van Gundy heard Li Feng say this. He smiled too, and then said:

"Yes, number one in the league, here we are."

Howard stood at the entrance of the players' pass, looking at the entire New Orleans Arena, at this time, the New Orleans Arena was in Howard's heart, like a huge beehive full of fierce hornets, just before the game started, this huge hive began to buzz.

The lights of the New Orleans arena turned eerily blue-green, and when it shone on the ground, it seemed like grimaces. Even the roar of the new DJ at the New Orleans Arena was unusually sharp to the ears

But at this moment, the shrill voice began to call out the names of the Bulls players, the first to receive this kind of treatment was Nick Young, and the first to run out of the player tunnel was met with a flood of boos.

Although there are boos in the United Center Arena, there is no comparison between the momentum and the current New Orleans Arena, and the boos in the United Center Arena are somewhat heckling and playing, but the New Orleans Arena is intended to be heard, and it is completely hostile boos and angry roars.

At this time, the New Orleans arena was trembling, and anger and roaring were mixed in. Paul's face pretended to be calm, but when he ran out, his heart was trembling, and the birth of a devil's home stadium would definitely put pressure on everyone on the team.

One by one, the Bulls players ran out, but Kang's boos didn't abate. Instead, it is getting bigger and bigger, and it is NTT's Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith who broadcast this comparison.

Barkley covered his two flowers and shouted at Kenny Smith beside him:

"Before you know it. It's a surprise that New Orleans Arena has turned into a devil's home stadium. ”

Kenny Smith exhorted in the loud noise:

"If you look at the local media in New Orleans, say. I think you'll too, standing in the stands and roaring! ”

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were fighting to speak loudly, but no one in the stands wanted to hear them.

Because at this time, Howard ran out of the players' tunnel, and Consey, who had been in a boiling state, suddenly erupted into a more wave, which even Howard himself did not expect.

The hatred of Howard at the New Orleans Arena seemed to rise to a new level, and in the midst of all this deafening noise, Howard walked the court gloomily.

When it was the Pelicans' turn to get out of the court, Arenas was the first to run out, and he was immediately cheered by the entire New Orleans Arena After being angry and frenzied, the New Orleans Arena immediately showed its enthusiastic and unrestrained side, and the General raised his hands very comfortably to enjoy the cheers of the New Orleans Arena.

Millsap, who was in the player's tunnel at this time, crooked his mouth and said:

"Look, that guy looks like he's got the jackpot!"

While Millsap was saying this, his name came out in the stadium, and it was seen that Millsap also ran out in the same way as Arenas.

At this time, Li Feng, who was in the player's tunnel, sneered and said, "This guy is not the same!" At that, the Pelicans players laughed.

Then the Pelicans players ran out one after another, and when it was Li Feng's turn, the entire New Orleans arena erupted in a huge cheer, and Li Feng, who was in the court at this time, immediately understood why Arenas and Millsap were so foreign, that is, this feeling of being sought after was so good.

The two sides battled for the ball in the center circle, and Al Jefferson unsurprisingly lost to Howard again, and after Howard picked the basketball to Paul, the New Orleans arena immediately gave Paul a wild boo.

This is also Paul's ruthlessness, everyone is there, and there will be a little influence in the heart, but Paul is not, in this gentleman's heart, I am a great god, and I am a few golden words that are super stored in my mind every day.

The louder the boos at the New Orleans Arena now, the more excited this gentleman is, I must give you a good look, Paul is such a cute personality, Paul dribbles from behind at this time.

Even if the game between the two sides began, Howard came up with a brutal position, and then moved quickly, ready to move laterally. At this time, Al Jefferson had just come on the court and had not yet fully concentrated, and the cold let Howard Card take the main position.

Paul hurriedly delivered the ball to Howard, but as soon as Howard received the basketball, the New Orleans arena immediately erupted in a chorus with boos all around.

Howard was holding the ball here, and when he heard the whole court boo, Howard was surprised at first, and then immediately moved towards Jefferson, Howard was given some preferential treatment when he was at the Union Center Arena, but when he arrived at the New Orleans Arena. Howard is the public enemy.

As soon as Howard moved the Pelicans' interior line, he immediately came back, and clamped Howard's bag, Howard saw that the Pelicans really regarded himself as a public enemy, so he simply threw the basketball to Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Butler originally wanted to send the basketball into the interior again, but just watched the Pelicans' players dangling in front of Howard, Jimmy Butler simply kept it up and sent the basketball to Paul's hands.

It just so happened that Rose, who was defending Paul at this time, was far away from Paul and did not defend Paul's shot.

Paul took advantage of this gap. Directly is to shoot a two-point shot, Paul is not a player with a very poor shooting hand, a little after 008, Paul's shooting ability is completely completed, whether it is two or three points are very accurate. So his shot was also very accurate, and he pierced the Pelicans' basket with one shot, and this time Paul played very suddenly, even the Bulls themselves didn't expect Paul to shoot like this.

The Bulls opened with an unexpected ball. When it came time for the Pelicans to attack, after the Pelicans came over, it was a tight passing and running. The Pelicans' strict passing and running position is not a one-by-one pass, but a quick pass, and a pause, and the Pelican's tactics are very rhythmic.

Using frequent low and high screens, flipping the ball upside down and taking the position out, the Pelicans are still fundamentally a collegiate team that plays not stars, but tactics.

The Pelicans comfortably opened the space, and then Rose began to easily eat Paul in a big step away from the three-second zone, Rose didn't do much, and after receiving the ball, he used his back muscles, a top, an arch, to push Paul back a little bit, and then quickly turned around and feint to shoot.

Although this goal was not scored, it was just that Rose's hand was not good, but the Pelicans' overall tactics were still finished.

The Bulls and Pelicans opened the battle, and the Bulls mainly played a strong point on the inside line of Howard, and the strong breakup of Jimmy Butler and Paul on the outside of the Bulls themselves.

And the Pelicans here, they play a rhythmic half-court offense, and the Pelicans' offense is more mid-range shots, more low-post offenses, and the rhythm is relatively slow and staggered.

The two teams played to the fourth minute and 10 seconds, and the score was 10-12, with the Pelicans leading slightly.

At this time, Charles Barkley sat in the commentary seat and said thoughtfully:

"The Pelicans are really in the rhythm of the game now, although it seems that the Pelicans are playing tepidly, but now the Pelicans are very amazing in rhythm and tactical ability, almost every tactic can achieve the tactical goal, but today Rose's hand is not very good, and some opportunities are wasted!"

Kenny Smith's eyes widened as well, and he said:

"Although the score of the two teams is not much apart now, I think the Pelicans have reason to be proud, they are now indeed capable of killing the Bulls, and even slaughtering, and now the Pelicans' control of the rhythm of the game, and the ability to complete the tactics, it is easy to remind people of another Spurs team that is famous for this!"

Kenny Smith said this since caused dissatisfaction among Bulls players and Bulls fans, but at this time Kenny Smith did think in his heart, because the Pelicans have gone through this half a season's tempering, and there are so many previous victories, at this time in this Pelican's body, there is more self-confidence of a strong team, as well as the mentality of a strong team, when the whole team is running, they are much more confident, and this self-confidence makes the Pelicans from a re-emerging team to gradually full of the confidence of a strong team.

Speaking of which, Barkley said excitedly:

"Compared with the Spurs, the Pelicans have more Li Feng, if it is a young Duncan, it may be comparable to Li Feng's dominance, but the Spurs tactics at that time are not as good as the current Pelicans, the Pelicans have the potential and strength to surpass the Spurs, today's battle is a test, not only the first record in the league, but also the first strength, this battle for the first place is well deserved!"
