At the end of the first quarter, Grandpa Huby Brown also said:

"The playoffs are indeed a game of feng shui rotation. Whoever adjusts quickly will have the initiative. In the last game, the Pelicans had unexpected moves that made the Rockets unable to resist. Now the Rockets have found a way to deal with it, and the Pelicans have not adjusted for the time being. There is only one keyword in the playoffs, which is adjustment. This adjustment is not only a tactical adjustment by the coach, but also an adjustment of the player's personal psychological state and a adjustment of the player's playing style."

"This kind of adjustment requires some experience, a certain degree of psychological maturity and basketball wisdom. Although the Pelicans are some talented young players, they are extremely lacking in this regard. After all, young is a lack of it, and they lack psychological experience."

The Pelicans sent a substitute at the beginning of the second quarter, which was one of the Pelicans' strengths.

But today the Rockets' substitute lineup is not weak, and the Pelicans Rockets' substitute lineup does not have much advantage in lineup.

Moreover, at this time the Pelicans made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. In their hearts, they still thought they could defeat their opponents as if they were in the last game.

As a result, once the Pelicans underestimated the enemy, they immediately encountered a harsh counterattack. The Rockets took advantage of the first few minutes of the second quarter to play a small high of 8-0. The Rockets changed the score to 32-18. At this moment, the score difference between the two teams finally widened, and the Pelicans hurriedly changed Li Feng.

Tonight, the Rockets and Pelicans' characters seemed to have turned over.

When Li Feng appeared, the team was already 14 points behind. This scene made Li Feng feel a little familiar. He had to score and save the team.

This will definitely happen when playing with teams like the Rockets, but Li Feng still feels that this situation is too easy. Teammates who are too young are indeed more likely to commit. This situation can be avoided now.

When Li Feng arrived on the court, he immediately started to get the ball in the backcourt. Once it reached the Rockets' half, all his teammates immediately pulled away and watched Li Feng play.

Li Feng represents all the will of the Pelicans at this time, and he must hit the ball. Otherwise, the Pelicans may collapse.

Li Feng was under a lot of pressure at this time, but Li Feng was not afraid. He believed in his ability and believed that he could do it.

Facing Nick Johnson who was rushing out at this time, Li Feng calmly turned his butt and hit the opponent one after another.

Nick Johnson could not withstand Li Feng and could only retreat. At this time, Josh Smith of the Rockets came up to attack Li Feng. Li Feng immediately took the ball and turned around. He turned around and made a fake move. Nick Johnson was hit by Li Feng so hard that he couldn't jump up. He didn't jump, but Josh Smith jumped at this time.

After shook Josh Smith away, Li Feng turned around and waved his elbow, touched Nick Johnson, and then raised his hand to create a foul. Li Feng's skill in cheating fouls is simply unavoidable. As long as the opponent's physical fitness is not as good as him, letting Li Feng stick it on is either a point or a foul.

After going to the free throw line, Li Feng made both free throws to finally breathe a sigh of relief for the team.

20-32, the score difference is still very large.

The Rockets came again, and the Rockets still attacked at low posts. Now the only substitute lineup is Motiyunas.

The Rockets' center of gravity was naturally on Mortiunas. Mortiunas took the ball and attacked Henson, and Henson couldn't stop step by step.

Li Feng hurriedly went back to help defend, and Mortiunas turned around and attacked missed under Li Feng's harassment.

Li Feng originally thought that his defense had been successful, but Kelly at the basket did not get stuck, so Josh Smith suddenly clicked the basketball from behind, and the basketball was lucky to be picked up by Papanicola behind him.

Papanicola, who picked up the basketball, raised her hand and threw it away at a medium distance. This distance was not difficult for Papanicola. Papanicola scored two points.

The Rockets played smoothly, and even the frontcourt rebound was controlled, the Pelicans entered a dark rhythm as a whole.

The Rockets scored a lucky goal and turned around. Li Feng also realized that relying on himself alone was not enough. He immediately played a pick-and-roll with Kelly in the Rockets' half. Li Feng broke through and turned around and passed the ball to Kelly.

This was originally a fixed path for the Pelicans to score, and the Rockets naturally had plans for this routine defense.

Once Kelly disassembled, Josh Smith immediately changed his position to defend Kelly. Kelly did not take Josh Smith's defense into consideration and directly took a three-pointer. As a result, Josh Smith jumped up and pointed a little basketball, so Kelly's three-pointer was short.

The Pelicans failed in another round of offense. The underestimation of the enemy and the easy way to make decisions in the Pelicans' subconscious mind have caused the team to fall into a vicious circle and cannot extricate themselves.

The Rockets immediately caught up with the backcourt rebound. The Rockets are now playing more and more, and they can play in defense and offense.

At this time, the Rockets' condition was coming, and Cory Brewer, who was taking the ball from the outside, suddenly got inspiration.

From a pick-and-roll to the Pelicans' basket, Brewer dodged Henson's block in the air, and then scored two points again with a difficult layup.

The Rockets play better and better, and the more they play, the more chemical they will react. The basketball court always corresponds. When the Rockets get better and better, the Pelicans will be under greater pressure.

The Pelicans played again, and Li Feng passed the ball to Knight. Knight was not playing well today, so he wanted to regain his energy and play one by himself.

Knight's idea is good, but his condition is really bad today. The Rockets' targeted defense is also done well. Knight missed a mid-range shot from the ball.

On the offensive end of the Pelicans, there are no one else who can do it except Li Feng. Later, although Van Gundy played against Cory and Al Jefferson, the big situation did not change. The Pelicans' role players today were targeted by the Rockets as a whole, so they were in a bad state.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets led the Pelicans by 49-38 by 11 points. This is like a replica of the last game between the Rockets and the Pelicans.

At the end of the half, Li Feng also realized that he had to do his best in today's game. It is no longer as reliable as relying on his teammates. This is not something that can be adjusted simply. Now he has to assume a core responsibility.

During the intermission, Su Qun from the country also said:

"The Rockets are worthy of being a traditional strong team. They have adjusted very quickly. So far, all adjustments have been very in place, and the role players of the Pelicans have almost no room for performance. Although the Pelicans' mentality is a bit frivolous today, part of the reason, the Rockets' adjustments are indeed coming quickly and well."

Su Qun is still the old lady’s commentary style, just praises the other person.

But at this time Hubi Brown was much sharper than Su Qun. Hubi Brown pondered and said:

"The Rockets made adjustments today. But the Pelicans also paid the price for their youth. The Pelicans could have made better adjustments, but so far, Corey, Knight, and Kelly have not adjusted their competitive state. If the Pelicans have more gaming experience, this is an avoidable thing. The Pelicans are now paying for their youth!"

Huby Brown pointed out the mistakes the Pelicans have made sharply. The Pelicans' failures both Corey and Knight today are indeed the reason for their mentality.

If the Pelicans didn't win so easily in the last game, this situation could be avoided, but the Pelicans won too easily in the last game. Today, the Pelicans couldn't make it right in their mentality.

Although the midfield time is not short, and in twenty minutes, Van Gundy is also trying to solve it. However, this distortion of mentality cannot be reversed in a short time.

When he came back in the second half, the Pelicans also made adjustments at the beginning, just like the Rockets in the previous game.

The Pelicans brought Kelly to the starting power forward at the beginning of the second half. Kelly was not in this position for defense, but to allow Li Feng to gain more space on the offensive end. Van Gundy also discovered the game now. In the second half, the Pelicans had to rely on Li Feng to make a bloody path.

At this time, the Rockets' mentality was different. They lost more than ten points in the last game, and their mentality was very nervous. So from the beginning of today, they played very hard. From the beginning to now, they finally had a certain advantage and controlled the situation.

The Rockets are at the moment when they are most likely to relax in their spirits, and at this time Li Feng decided to fight forcibly.

At the second half, the first ball was from the Pelicans. Li Feng had already made up his mind to do it himself.

So once you get the basketball from the top of the arc, Li Feng immediately faces Ariza who is coming towards him, and suddenly dribbles forward with a tentative step, then takes a big step forward, dribbling the ball back from the outside crotch, and at the same time, he takes the toes back a little, and jumps backward.

Li Feng's dance-like pace is something Ariza can't catch up with, and after he gains weight, he has no way to defend such a flexible attack.

Li Feng shook Ariza away in one step and got up to a steady middle distance. At this time, Li Feng was very determined and focused. Under such circumstances, Li Feng's shooting rate was very high.

"Swish!"

Li Feng came up and scored 2 points steadily. When he scored these 2 points, Hubi Brown was saying:

"Li Feng is also very aspiring and his scoring is very firm, but this is not enough. His ultimate goal is to drive the whole team."

Li Feng came up to score 2 points, but it did not arouse the Rockets' alert yet, because the Rockets are indeed leading more now, and they are still in control of the rhythm.

The Rockets came over at this time, but Harden took the ball but did not launch an attack. Now the Rockets are leading Harden is not in a hurry. He immediately transferred the ball to Asik at the basket. Asik took advantage of his height today, took the ball at a high position and made a fake pass, and immediately shot a mid-range shot.

Asik played today, and the mid-range shot was smooth.

The Rockets' score is still as smooth as Dove's chocolate, and Li Feng's pressure is still on his shoulders.

But at this time, Li Feng became more fighting. Although the Rockets are now strong, Li Feng believes that as long as he survives, his teammates will find the rhythm.

So Li Feng arrived at the Rockets' half again and immediately asked for the ball towards Granger. Granger passed the basketball to Li Feng.

The defense Li Feng faced was still Ariza, and Li Feng was not at all entangled when facing Ariza. Because Ariza's pace was too slow and there was no threat to him.

Li Feng was still playing with his footsteps in a relaxed manner when he took the ball and dribbled the ball to the left. He then stepped back and stepped a step. Li Feng took another step back. Li Feng's speed was faster than Ariza and his footsteps were even more flexible. In this way, Ariza could not defend at all.

Li Feng came up and scored another 2 points!

When the refrigerator saw Li Feng scored again, his eyebrows immediately twisted together. The refrigerator could not allow Li Feng to score. But Li Feng scored too easily now and he scored without much effort. This would not work. If this situation continues, Li Feng's condition is crazy, and the Rockets are still very dangerous. So at this time, after Li Feng scored, the refrigerator actually called another timeout early.

The Rockets urgently made adjustments in advance. When the refrigerator consciousness was Ariza, he decisively replaced Ariza and then used Cory Brewer to defend Li Feng. Brewer's physical fitness and footsteps were enough, but using Brewer to defend Li Feng alone was not enough, so the refrigerator also arranged a double-team tactic to deal with Li Feng.

51-42, the score difference between the two teams is still hovering around 10 points.

The Rockets called for a timeout and replaced it with a three-high lineup. The Rockets put Asik, Motiyunas and Josh Smith on the court. The Rockets partnered with Harden and Cory Brewer.

This lineup is actually very afraid of Kelly's big man's long shot, but today the refrigerator found that Kelly's long shot was super unstable, so he decisively changed to this big man's lineup. If he changed to this lineup, he still wanted to stop Li Feng's strong half-time play.

The Rockets replaced it. After the three-high lineup, they immediately used their height advantage and raised it high. Asik was suspended to Josh Smith, Josh Smith took the ball and slapped it to Mortyunas. Mortyunas easily got the ball and scored two points.

Today's Rockets did play out their height advantage, and under such circumstances, the Pelicans' pressure was even greater.

The Rockets played in the three-high lineup, and the Pelicans came over and passed the basketball to Kelly on the outside. Kelly took the ball and the Rockets immediately changed their positions to defend. Josh Smith saved to defend Kelly, and Asik went to defend Granger in dislocation.

Granger is a player who needs a good time. Now, once the team is heading for the wind, he will play a little bit and dare not break through Asik with force. He passes the basketball back to Li Feng.

Li Feng sighed. In this situation, it really depends on himself to open a hole in this situation.

Li Feng, who was holding the ball, faced Brewer who was pressing him up, and like Anthony, he pushed the opponent away with his shoulders, then continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, waved left and right, dribbling to the left. At the moment when Josh Smith rushed forward, Li Feng took a practical step back again, then leaned back and dodged Josh Smith to take a mid-range shot.

"Swish!"

Li Feng's mid-range distance today is really stable, but the difference between the two teams is still 9 points, which has no intention of breaking apart at all.

The Rockets are quite satisfied with the current situation. Now the Pelicans rely on Li Feng to save their lives alone, so it is easier for them to grasp the situation.

Moreover, when Harden on the Rockets saw Li Feng's continuous performance, he also began to respond.

Harden took the ball and broke through to the Pelicans' penalty area. He immediately cheated the Pelicans for a foul. Harden walked onto the free throw line and scored two points again.

The Rockets still use the success rate with 2 points and 2 points. Li Feng clearly changed his tactics when he got the basketball on the Rockets' outside. Using his footsteps to match the middle distance is indeed the easiest way to score now, but this method is also the way the Rockets want to see. The Rockets hope that Li Feng will just shoot like this. It will definitely be difficult to kill the Rockets if they hit like this. Because the Rockets use the inside offense to score 2 points and 2 points, and the success rate is definitely better than your middle distance.

So at this time, Li Feng knew that the best way to score was to medium distance, but he still had to change his tactics.

At this time, he faced Cory Brewer, and he still tentatively opened the distance. He dribbled the ball with his left hand, kicked back with his front foot, and took a step back halfway, Li Feng pulled up and threw a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

Li Feng scored 3 points with an unreasonable jump shot at the three-point line. Once these 3 points are made, they will be scored.

The Rockets immediately alerted because Li Feng's unreasonable three-pointer seemed to be coming, but McTrick, who was on the sidelines, became excited.

"Li Feng made consecutive mid-range shots before, and now the three-pointer is here. This shows that Li Feng feels very good and Li Feng is about to get angry. This is interesting."
