Chapter 1044 The new self(1/2)

After Barry answered this, Mark Jones immediately said:

"So, do you think Li Feng is stronger than Caron Butler?"

Why did Barry say that? He shook his head and said:

"I don't think so. I just think that if Karon Butler wants to dominate the game, he can only score. △ But Li Feng can dominate the game in many ways. They just have different styles and no distinction between high and low. Classifying players is equated with racism!"

Barry raised this issue to such a high level that Mark Jones had no room for performance, so he had almost nothing to say.

When Mark Jones couldn't speak here, Jonbarry said himself:

"The Wizards must have to give their all their strength in today's game. I'm not very interested in the Wizards' offense. Because the last time the Wizards' offense was refreshing, what I'm interested in now is that the Wizards claim to play defense. I'm very interested in the Wizards' defense. You know, it's like a comedian. One day he said he was going to act in an art film, which is very eye-catching!"

Mark Jones also smiled and said:

"Yes! I'll look at the Wizards' defense, it must be an interesting thing."

While the two were talking and laughing, the game officially began. The fans cheered and the list of the two teams also reached the broadcasting station.

The Pelicans are point guard Brandon Knight, shooting guard Tony Roten, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, center Paul Gasol.

This is the most commonly used lineup in the second half of the season. This lineup is very flexible and the rest of the parts except Li Feng can be dismantled at any time.

The Wizards are also stable, point guard John Wall, shooting guard Ottoport, small forward Caron Butler, power forward Nene, and center Gotat.

The lineups of both teams are very stable. When the home team players come on the court, the whole audience cheers. Although the Pelicans booed a little, they didn't booed much. There is no way to compare with the Rockets and the Trail Blazers and other teams at home.

When the two teams played, Gasol and Gottate began to compete for the ball. Gottt was very active in his home court, and he first transferred the basketball to Wall.

At this time, the Wizards' position came over at the half-time, Wall took the ball at the top of the arc, and the four Wizards' players were all concentrated on the right side, and then ran one after another in an instant.

Ottoport went to guard the bottom corner, and Caron Butler came out and moved without the ball. Gott cut the basket at a free throw, and Nene came up to cover Wall.

Under this situation, Caron Butler is obviously the center of attention of the Wizards' offensive, and most of the Pelicans think so.

Then just as everyone was thinking so, Wall suddenly sent the basketball to Gotat, who was cutting the basket.

Gott was going to shoot the first shot today? Gasol hurriedly pushed forward, but Gott turned around, turned around and forced himself to lean on Gasol, and then forced his hand to attack the basket.

Gotat did have difficulties in playing Gasol, but it was still a chance to play hard. Gasol was indeed suddenly beaten and couldn't react. Gotat took two points.

Today Gott started the offense from the inside, and this signal made Joanbari say immediately:

"I didn't see the Wizards' defense today, but I saw the attack!"

"In the first two games of both sides this season, the Wizards and the Pelicans scored 4:1 in the penalty area. The Pelicans scored 4 points at the basket and the Wizards scored one point. This shows that the Wizards lacked effective means to attack the basket. Most of their offensive methods come from mid-range shots. This style of play is OK at the beginning of the regular season, but it is very inefficient for key matches that are fiercely confronted."

"The Pelicans are very good at scoring at low posts. The Pelicans scored a lot of points at the basket in the last game between the two sides. This is an obvious gap and a big flaw of the Wizards. Today, the Wizards played at the low post at the beginning of the game, which also shows the Wizards' intention to make up for this flaw."

Barry clearly pointed out the Wizards' intentions. In the first two games of this season, the Wizards did score less at the basket. Under such circumstances, they could not gain an advantage, so the Wizards played inside the opening game today, demonstrating their determination.

After the Wizards' offense, the Pelicans quickly advanced. At this time, Barry and Mark Jones both widened their eyes and prepared to see what the Wizards' defense looked like. As a result, as soon as the Pelicans came over, the Wizards' defense was indeed more interesting.

Before, the Wizards' defense was mainly single defense, lacking cooperation between each other. Now, once the Pelicans play, the Wizards also have some sense of mutual cooperation, and the Wizards' defense also has some team color, and they are very fierce and aggressive, which puts the Pelicans' ball holders on the side.

Knight came over and gave Li Feng the basketball to deal with.

Li Feng took the ball and kept Van Gundy's words in mind, took the ball steadily and kept it steady, protecting the basketball command teammate's running position, and then suddenly passed the ball to the low post to let Al Jefferson and Nene fight one-on-one.

The Wizards start from the inside, and the Pelicans start from the inside. If both teams play inside, the Pelicans have an advantage over the Wizards.

Because Al Jefferson is at least a serious low-post offensive player, Al Jefferson also kept in mind Van Gundy's instructions today. He took the ball to control the ball steadily, turned around and shook it, and suddenly a left-hand hook came out.

Al Jefferson's skills are indeed comprehensive and his steps are flexible. Nene is already dead, but Al Jefferson still lets him come and score 2 points.

Today, the Pelicans' performance is calm, neither arrogant nor impatient. Although the Wizards' defense is good and aggressive, the Pelicans can still play according to the established tactics rather than randomly in the opponent's high-intensity defense. This mentality is amazing. Only ordinary old teams can play like this. But now the Pelicans are obviously a little mature! Seeing that the Pelicans played so steadily at the beginning, Mark Jones also said:

"The Pelicans really have the style of a strong team now. From the temperament, they are not arrogant or impatient. This kind of team's temperament can achieve great things. It can be said that playing against the Wizards today is the Pelicans' best lineup. They should be familiar with tactics for the playoffs!"

The two teams scored two points at the beginning. When the Wizards drove the ball from the bottom line again, they were still the first round and attached great importance to cooperation. After sufficient cover at the top of the arc, the attack began.

The last time was Gott's empty cut to the basket, but this time it was Karon Butler, who rushed over to Karon and took the position under the basket.

At this time, Roten was defending Caron Butler, and Li Feng defended the more active Ottoport. Caron Butler had a lot of room for maneuver when he hit him. Caron Butler took the ball and turned right and jumped, and scored 2 points accurately in the mid-range shot.

In the Wizards' system, Karon Butler is still a relatively important offensive player, but today Karon Butler's offensive area has undergone great changes.

Before, Caron Butler attacked near the mid-range shooting area. He made a lot of mid-range shooting, but today he took the initiative to seek attack at the basket, which shows that the team changed the way to use Caron Butler, and Randy Whitman was also working hard to make adjustments.

Randy Whitman tried to attack his team more lethal, and it was definitely not just a mid-range shot.

The Wizards made two consecutive shots at the beginning, which shows that their offense is good, but this is not the point. The last time the Wizards of both sides' offense was also good, but they still couldn't beat the Pelicans. Because their defense was not good, the Strange Certificate could not defeat the Pelicans, it depends on whether they can make some breakthrough performances on the defensive end today.

The Wizards have reached the most dangerous brink. At this time, the Pelicans came to the backcourt. The Wizards really rushed out to defend and continued to put pressure on the ball. The Pelicans did not allow the Pelicans to add up their speed.

The Wizards tried so hard to increase their defense, and the first thing they felt was Knight, who was against Wall.

At this time, Wall came up to defend Knight with all his might, and Knight was indeed at a huge loss. Under this situation, Knight could only hand over the basketball to Li Feng.

Li Feng is facing Ottoport. Although Li Feng has an advantage over him, Ottoport is a young and hard-working defensive player in the Wizards lineup. It is somewhat similar to Jimmy Butler last season.

Li Feng is also very troublesome to play Ottoport. Roten vs. Caron Butler, Al Jefferson vs. Nene, Gasol vs. Gott, and the Pelicans actually have little advantage in most positions on the offensive end.

At this time, it was obvious that the Wizards were pressing the Pelicans too hard, and Li Feng got the ball here, and Ottoport came up to steal and slapped Li Feng in the head.

Ottoport made a foul on this defensive ruler, but this was at home, so Li Feng could only bear it. When he saw Gasol had a chance at the baseline, he immediately passed the basketball to Gasol.

Gasol singled out against Gotat at the basket, turned around, turned around, and then turned around and threw a throw.

Gasol's low-post offensive ability is indeed good, but he defends the European inside. At this time, as soon as he made a move, Gotat immediately increased the oppressiveness of the defense below, and Gasol's throwing missed.

At the beginning of the game between the Pelicans and the Wizards, the Wizards were obviously arrogant and fierce. The Pelicans were as stable as rocks and tried to gain a foothold first, and then planned to counterattack.

Both teams have their own thoughts and intentions, but the Pelicans still have an advantage at this time, because the Pelicans have two points in hand, so they can wait and let their opponents take the move first and then make another move.

But the Wizards have no way to wait. They must take action first, and they must achieve results after taking action. This is where the pressure lies. The Wizards are under pressure today and must complete the pressure.

In this state, after successfully defending, the Wizards immediately bit the Pelicans' butt and hit them.

However, at this time, the Wizards did not focus on personal offense, but used the personal abilities of Caron Butler and Wall to create offensive opportunities for their teammates.

At this time, Wall moved over, and Ottoport took the initiative to use Caron Butler's cover to cut at the Pelicans' basket. The Pelicans definitely did not go there and Ottoport became the opponent's main offensive point.

Li Feng was also careless and accidentally let Ottoport run away. It was too late to chase him from behind. Ottoport went deep into the Pelicans' basket and committed a foul by Gasol.

In today's game, Gasol's pressure suddenly increased. Because the opponent attached importance to the attack on the inside, Gotat was also particularly active, which gave Gasol the old guy great difficulties.

The Wizards scored 6 points quietly at the beginning of the game, the Pelicans only scored 2 points, and the Wizards led by 4 points at the beginning.

Although the Wizards led by 4 points, they did not dare to be careless at all, because the last time they were chased by both sides by 20 points, and there was no reason to be careless today.

Van Gundy watched on the sidelines for a while and gradually realized that the trick was coming. The Wizards did have great changes today and did not say big talk. Caron Butler said that they would make contributions on the defensive end, and the Wizards' defense has indeed made considerable progress today.

You should know that in just two days, the Wizards have made considerable progress, which shows that the Wizards have been working hard to prepare for defensively and tactical exercises in the past two days, so that the players can understand and familiarize themselves with their responsibilities.

The Wizards really fought hard, made considerable success on the defensive end, and made adjustments in offense, making up for the team's shortcomings of relying too much on singles and increasing attacks on the inside.

The Wizards have improved their tactics a lot. But Van Gundy is not worried because he thinks that Randy Whitman has changed the team's style by changing the team like this.

They can play halftime or even one or two games, but they will never be able to implement it.

Because the Wizards' background is not such a team, the Wizards' background is crazy and passionate, and at this time, we must end the team's madness.

The Wizards must be uncomfortable with it. When they hurt their opponents, the Wizards are also hurting themselves.

It is too difficult to perform major surgery on the team in a short period of time!

If the Wizards played like this from the beginning of the season and lasted for one season, it would take at least half a season, then the Wizards would definitely adapt, but within two days of major surgery. Van Gundy firmly believed that the Wizards would do this and hurt the Pelicans while they would also be hurt.

In the domestic commentator Yang Yi explained today's game, Yang Yi was originally a commentator who liked to bring himself into the role of head coach. At this time, when he saw the situation, he immediately felt more immersive. He said in the country.

"Today, Randy Whitman finally showed his other side. Usually we see Randy Whitman showing off his offensive and radical side. His offense is very sharp, and he does not hesitate to defend. He is very bold in using people, and he dares to use them as long as there are players who shoot. These are our usual impressions of Mr. Randy Whitman!"

"But today Randy Whitman showed us his rigorous side. Today Randy Whitman still uses the ingredients for boiled fish and gives us a meal of fish. The passion of the past is gone, and it is replaced by a refreshing taste. On defense, Randy Whitman is safer and no longer careless. On offense, he has also begun to pay attention to low-post strikes, focusing on tradition. This is the adjustment of today's Wizards."

After he finished speaking, Yu Jia also said:

"The Wizards' feeling today is indeed different from the past. In the past, the Wizards made the fans excited whether they made the shot or not, but now even though the Wizards are leading, we still think something is missing?"

Yu Jia felt something was wrong with the Wizards, and the Wizards players on the court also felt something was wrong.

In the past, wizards seemed to be wild horses stocked on the prairie. Today they all brought condoms and became horse racing on the racetrack. Although they all ran, they felt that they were running by themselves and following the route.

However, the Wizards are still ahead of the score now, so the Wizards and other players still think that there is nothing wrong. If they can win by playing like this, they will naturally accept it.

The Pelicans suffered consecutive losses. When they kicked off from the bottom line, Li Feng immediately went to protect Knight. As soon as Wall bullied Knight, Knight gave the basketball to Li Feng.

Then he used Li Feng's cover to walk around and from the other side. Knight passed Wall so far, but he was immediately intercepted by Ottoport, another defensive player of the Wizards.

Today, Knight's pressure was indeed great. Wall and Ottoport formed an iron gate to suppress Knight. In the end, Knight still returned the basketball to Li Feng.

Li Feng took the ball here, and Ottoport immediately took a step back and blocked Li Feng's route to the right.

Li Feng had not shot yet, so Ottoport made this judgment. This is because compared to breakthroughs and low posts, Li Feng's shooting damages the Wizards less, and Li Feng's offensive efficiency on the left side is slightly lower than that on the right side. Therefore, the best ending for Ottoport to defend Li Feng is to let Li Feng shoot from the left side.

But this is just the hope of the Wizards. Li Feng will not follow the Wizards' script. At this time, Li Feng took the ball and slowly leaned against Ottoport.

In the past, if Li Feng attacked like this, the Wizards would immediately double-team, but today Li Feng fought like this. Wizards had limited double-teams, Wall came to cooperate with Ottoport to double-team against Li Feng.

At this time, Li Feng saw that the Wizards' defensive strategy was more strict. He didn't have much opportunity to take advantage of, and the chance of taking shortcuts was smaller.

Li Feng could only turn over and break through to the bottom line. He drove the Wizards' defense over, then raised his hand and made a fake move, and finally tricked Ottoport away.

He deceived the opponent away, Li Feng scored a high shot near the basket and scored two points. Li Feng scored himself to open the deadlock for the team, and also tore through the Wizards' good defense that they have maintained since the opening.
