Chapter 1399 Counterattack(1/2)
"When facing the Pacers and Hornets, the team's shooting percentage has always been low. Today's game originally started with 7-2, but now it has been led by 9 points... Does our team still need more training to grow?"
Some fans are already discussing it.
On the Internet, those who think that the Pelicans will find it difficult to go further are also saying:
"The Pelicans, when they met the Timberwolves, still failed to adjust their condition. It can be seen that they wanted to win this game, but after two consecutive losses, they no longer seemed to know how to win."
At this moment, the Timberwolves' Towns used his pretend layup to attract the Pelicans' defensive firepower, while Rubio outside suddenly cut in, took down Towns' pass, and threw the basketball into the basket.
The Timberwolves scored the last two points, and the first quarter ended with a score of 26-15, with the Pelicans trailing the Timberwolves 11 points.
"In the first quarter, the Pelicans didn't seem to have come out of the shadow of losing the first two games."
Yu Jiadao:
"They still have poor performance. They have not found their own position for several points, nor have they found the pace of attack they should have. Teacher Zhang, why do you think there are some problems with the Pelicans now?"
Director Zhang said:
"This may be related to the team's mentality and morale. In the two games they lost before, the Pelicans always made mistakes and their shooting percentage was not high. In this game, it may also have some unavoidable inertia with the mentality of those two games."
Yu Jia nodded and replied:
"Then do you think the Pelicans can take to overcome this mentality now?"
“Abuse this mentality…”
Director Zhang said:
"It's better to find your own rhythm and play a position with your opponent patiently as before. In addition, if the Pelicans want to regain their form, they must first look at the performance of Li Feng and Ross... especially Li Feng. If he can regain his touch, even with his own efforts, the team may be able to rely on his score and get back on track..."
The Pelicans players were a little listless when they thought they had won a game that was a sure win. Although this was at home, the frustration in their hearts was still inevitable.
"Stop being sad."
Van Gundy didn't get angry, but said:
"Guys, let's look at how to deal with such a Timberwolves next. Maybe we underestimated them before the game."
Everyone gathered here, Van Gundy said:
"Wait a minute, we should slow down on the offensive end, play patiently, and not make mistakes. When defending, don't make a rash move, and be patient. Try to destroy their offense... These are the main things. Pay attention to defending the Timberwolves' off-ball players and their internal and external connection points. This is more important here."
Li Feng himself does feel a sense of frustration. When a team keeps losing, even the strongest star will always feel a deep sense of powerlessness - it seems that it is almost impossible for this team to win a game.
Although two consecutive losses are not too many, for a team that has previously achieved 10 consecutive victories, two consecutive losses will face great pressure.
This will make the frustration more severe.
Many players have experienced these things, and can they overcome them? This is the player's own business.
The competition begins!
"Come on! Come on!"
Now, fans don’t know if there is any problem with the Pelicans. They can only cheer for the Pelicans as much as possible, hoping that they can return to normal channels.
The Pelicans first played as a substitute.
The Timberwolves are the same. The two teams started the battle with the substitute lineup. The Pelicans' substitute lineup and tactical execution are, at least today, better than the main players.
Especially the Pelicans' inside line, diligent and conscientious, which has brought great help to the Pelicans. The Timberwolves' substitute lineup is not deep, and when facing the Pelicans, they exposed their problems.
The Pelicans' substitute scored an attack wave of 8-3, and the score between the two sides became 29-23, and the Pelicans were still 6 points behind their opponents.
However, the good times did not last long. The main force of the Timberwolves came back and scored four points in a row. The score became 33-23. The Pelicans lost to their opponents by 10 points, and then immediately called a timeout.
"After the timeout of the Pelicans, they should be replaced with the main player."
Yu Jia said himself.
Director Zhang said:
"Yes, the Pelicans now need to score points for the main lineup, score points for the main lineup, recover the score and even pull it apart... This is what they need to do. The substitute lineup will be difficult to complete these."
…………
Sure enough, after the suspension, Li Feng and the others came back.
"Come on! Man."
Li Feng smiled at Ross.
"come on!"
Ross stretched out his right palm, and after the two of them slapped their high fives, they walked onto the stadium. This scene made many fans inexplicably full of confidence... After all, Li Feng and Ross, both of them have become a banner of the team, and their every move touches people's hearts.
Even though they are still behind now, they believe it.
After precipitation and thinking on the bench, Li Feng watched the Pelicans players fight on the court without any feeling of being out of the matter. This team, the Pelicans, and the stadium have truly become their own thing.
At this time, he really wants to go on the battlefield.
Fight for the glory of this team and use your strongest strength.
"Li Feng is here!"
Director Zhang's tone was a little excited, he said:
"Next, whether the Pelicans can recover the score or even overtake, depends to a large extent on Li Feng's performance."
The Timberwolves also knew that Li Feng and Ross were difficult to deal with, so they tried their best to defend Li Feng.
The first ball, the ball rights came to the Pelicans, and now the score is 33-23.
"Can't concede the ball anymore...we have to score!"
When the fans saw Li Feng holding the ball, they felt a little at ease, but they were still shouting at him.
After all, at this time, a ball is already very important to a team.
"Bang!"
Millsap came to Li Feng. With such a ball, it is too risky to shoot a three-pointer from the outside, so it is best to break through. Millsap just picked and rolled Li Feng, and Li Feng and him also had enough tacit understanding to speed up immediately!
"Don't think about coming in!"
Wiggins reacted and wanted to block Li Feng, but Li Feng was too fast and flew past him directly and then came to a place near the free throw line.
Li Feng's speed was too fast. With Millsap's pick-and-roll help, the Timberwolves power forward Towns also pulled out. In this way, before the Timberwolves had completed the encirclement, Li Feng had already come directly under the basket.
There is still a Dean left in the deepest part of the inside.
Li Feng met him and suddenly jumped high.
Dean looked at Li Feng's body and felt that he was humiliated.
Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted:
"Get out!"
Li Feng had no expression on his face, his body gently touched Dean in the air, almost passing by. He had already calculated this, adjusted the angle in the air, and directly staggered Dean!
Then, the basket was shyly exposed in front of Li Feng like a stripped girl!
"Drink!"
Li Feng roared angrily. He raised his right hand high and thrust his body in the sky. After such an action, Li Feng seemed to have stopped slightly in the sky... Then!
"Clang!"
His right hand finally reached the basket and smashed the basketball into the basket fiercely! Amid the overwhelming pain of the basket, the net was filled with flowers, and Li Feng scored two points!
"Damn it, that's what you should do!"
Although he was not dunking himself, Al Jefferson also felt proud and patted Li Feng's shoulder and shouted.
"Li Feng! Li Feng! Li Feng!"
In the audience, roars followed by waves. Just when the Timberwolves directly pulled the score to 10 points, it was hard to describe how depressed they were. Now, Li Feng's dunk was like lightning that broke the fog, and the sunlight burst out instantly.
"Damn it, be careful of his speed."
Sam Mitchell shouted loudly next to the basketball court. He had noticed before that Li Feng's speed was not as fast as a 206cm person should have.
The Timberwolves people were too upset and just wanted to hit a ball as soon as possible to eliminate the impact of Li Feng's dunk.
"Defend! Pay attention to their passes!"
Ross shouted, and the Pelicans quickly completed the defense and immediately formed the fastest defense. Then, the Timberwolves hanged the basketball into the inside, intending to hang it to Dean...
"careful!"
Wiggins immediately reminded him, but it was too late. Rose instantly rushed out and grabbed the basketball.
"Quick attack!"
Ross shouted that way, but he slowed down himself until the Timberwolves set up defense that he came outside the three-point line. Because this ball was too late to break fast, not to mention that the Pelicans now need a success rate, especially such defensive counterattack in front of him.
"Li Feng!"
Ross had just stood outside the three-point line and immediately shouted, and the basketball was quickly passed out, reaching Li Feng outside the three-point line...
So, under the attention of more than 10,000 people in the game, Li Feng received a pass outside the three-point line and immediately got up and jumped!
To be continued...
