Chapter 1514 The old driver
The offensive power came to the Pelicans again, and Moore's advancement speed was still very fast. Bogut on the other side had not even had time to enter the half, Moore had already rushed to the distance close to the three-point line.
Delong's speed was obviously unable to keep up. After discovering this, Moore stopped hesitating and suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the left side quickly.
Although Deron moved his steps, his steps were obviously unable to keep up with Moore. Seeing Moore rushing straight to the basket, Matthews, who had retreated to the half, quickly contracted towards the inside, and Harrison Barnes was also doing similar things to him.
When the ball was passed, I saw two players rushing towards him. Moore quickly passed the ball. Delong, who was originally following Moore, rushed towards Li Feng quickly, because at this moment, the ball had already flew towards Li Feng.
Li Feng received the ball. Delong, who had just arrived in front of Li Feng, was in a dilemma on how to limit Li Feng's subsequent attack, but suddenly found that the ball in Li Feng's hand had flew out.
After receiving the ball, Li Feng quickly pushed forward with both hands, and the ball had already flew out again.
"Inside?"
Delong, who understood the direction of Li Feng's passing, quickly turned around and immediately understood after seeing Corey's figure on the side running towards the basket.
"Stop him"
Deron shouted at Matthews, and at this time, Matthews was the closest player to Corey. He shouted out loud, and Deron immediately turned around and Matthews could no longer intercept Corey at this time.
Going straight to the basket along the bottom line, Corey jumped up when he was about to reach the three-second zone, and his eyes were staring at the basketball flying beside him.
"Cori, air-connect..."
With both hands, Corey pressed the ball into the basket hard, and his body still swayed with the help of momentum, and his toes almost hit the bottom edge of the rebound.
"Stephen………………………………………Cory”
In the stadium, DJ's shout echoed, and Cory landed excitedly, then quickly caught up with Li Feng who was retreating and punched Li Feng directly.
"It's awesome, Li Feng"
Corey shouted with a smile on his face. His running of this ball was indeed very good, but it is undeniable that half of the credit belonged to Li Feng. Whether it was the timing of the pass or the accuracy, this ball was impeccable.
"Stephen, defend your players!"
After smiling, Li Feng said to Corey in a deep voice.
Corey nodded gently. The ball just now was because he didn't defend Barrea. When Li Feng went to make up for the defense, Matthews immediately got the opportunity.
Deron dribbled, but the ball was not handed to Barria. Deron and Nowitzki rushed to the inside after pick-and-roll. Although Moore and Deron were far from each other in terms of experience, Moore was not inferior to Deron at all in terms of speed and physical fitness. He followed Deron tightly, Moore kept exerting force, forcing Deron's forward rushing direction to deviate from the basket.
After rushing to the bottom line, Deron saw that there was no chance and handed the ball to Nowitzki at the middle distance.
Double-teaming, whether it is the Mavericks against Li Feng or the Pelicans against Nowitzki, the first strategy is double-teaming. Li Feng quickly rushed to Nowitzki, and his hands kept fiddling at the ball in the opponent's hand.
Nowitzki's pass was very decisive and had the advantage of height. He quickly threw the ball towards Wesley Matthews on the outside.
Li Feng's double-team put Matthews in an open position, but that was only before Nowitzki passed the ball. Just when his ball was passed, Al Jefferson, who was originally wandering near the baseline, had quickly rushed out and blocked Matthews.
Facing Al Jefferson, who was tall and long, Matthews did not take a direct move. He raised his hand slightly and Matthews sent the ball to Andrew Bogut, who was inside.
Bogut was very excited when he received the ball. At this time, Al Jefferson was still on the outside and there was no one in the Pelicans' penalty area.
Turning around, Bogut took a step forward and then jumped up with the ball high, but at this moment, he found a figure in front of him, Li Feng
The sudden appearance of the figure scared Bogut, and his pupils expanded rapidly. It was precisely because of this that he could see what happened next more clearly.
With his slender palms covering the basketball, Li Feng's arm suddenly exerted force, pressing heavily, shouting:
"Down with me"
In Bogut's incredible gaze, the ball escaped from his hands and flew to the side.
"Li Feng and Li Feng blocked Andrew Bogut..."
"coax"
A burst of cheers broke out at the scene, and before they could fully vent their emotions, new situations appeared in the field.
Delong rushed into the three-second zone and picked up Li Feng's basketball, raised his hand and threw it towards the basket.
Li Feng, who had just landed, jumped up again when he saw this scene, jumping on the spot, but Li Feng almost had a basket on his head. When the basketball was about to reach the highest point, Li Feng's hand quickly arrived and shot it hard.
"Bang"
The huge force acted on the surface of the ball, making a dull slap sound, and the ball fell rapidly
"roar"
With his body falling, Li Feng couldn't help but roared excitedly, and the Oracle Arena was completely in a boiling state at this moment.
"Li Feng"
Screams filled the entire arena, but they became weaker as soon as they sounded.
"Closed, Li Feng blocked again, Oh, Deron Williams..."
Delong looked up and saw that Li Feng had actually jumped up again, his mouth couldn't help but open his mouth so much that the ball attacked him without even finding it.
The ball hit by Li Feng was indeed falling too fast. It appeared in front of Delong in the blink of an eye. It only felt an object flashing in front of him. Then Delong felt something hit his face.
"Baji"
"Um"
It seemed that a sound came, and Delong soon found that it was dark in front of him and the person fell directly to the ground.
"Dron Williams, he was hit by the ball that Li Feng had hit hard, Oh, God, he was simply unfortunate."
"Wow" There was an uproar at the scene, and many fans couldn't help laughing. At this time, they didn't care about screaming and cheering.
Amid the laughter, Li Feng shrugged, and there was an unconcealed smile on the corner of his mouth. He did not intentionally smash Delong's face.
Listening to the laughter around him and seeing Delong lying on the floor covering his eyes, Bogut couldn't help but feel fortunate that he was covered in a dunk. Although he couldn't hold on to his face, he would at least not be slapped in the face.
When Delong, who was lying on the ground, found that there was no longer a five-pointed star in front of him, he finally got up from the ground, but his left eyelid was still blinking.
The game continued, and the ball hit Deron's face fell into Moore's hand. The referee did not whistle at this time, so Moore naturally would not wait there. The ball quickly threw it forward, and Corey scored a quick attack.
13-18. At this time, the Pelicans have established a 5-point advantage, and their attack speed has also become faster.
With 2 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Feng came off the court with 7 minutes and 2 assists. With more than 2 minutes, it was only a few blinks for the game that kept playing.
23-26, at the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the opponent with 3 points. However, there were three quarters left in the game, and such a lead could not be called an advantage no matter what.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Baria used a three-pointer to smooth out the gap, and the two teams returned to the same starting line. When Li Feng came to the field for 3 minutes and 53 seconds in the second quarter, the Pelicans had gone from leading by 3 points to falling behind by 2 points.
Pelicans' sixth man Al Thorntonsen didn't seem to be in good shape in this game. When the Mavericks' sixth man Barrea led the team to attack in the early second quarter, he did not make a counterattack.
Li Feng came on the court, but the Pelicans' offensive point was not him, but John Henson who came on the bench. After his comeback, although Henson did not play well in the first three games, he has been in good shape since the fourth game against the Spurs, and it seems that the same is true in this game.
In the second quarter, Henson scored 6 points and 2 rebounds with only 7 minutes on the court and had a steal, becoming the most dazzling player in the middle of the second quarter.
It was not until the last 2 minutes left in the second quarter that Li Feng scored and attacked. Within 2 minutes, Li Feng scored 4 points and 11 points after the half-time game. In the previous few minutes, Li Feng naturally made no contribution. When the whistle sounded at the end of the second quarter, he had already increased his assists to 7.
47-50, Li Feng held his lead in the second quarter and entered the second half with a slight advantage of 3 points.
"We need more aggressive attacks, Li Feng, Stephen, we didn't do a good job of hitting the basket in the first half, Dirk now only had one foul..."
"That Chinese man did not have full firepower in the first half. Beware of his attack in the second half. Harrison, pay attention to double-teaming. Delong, assist Harrison in double-teaming on the outside if necessary..."
The two teams did not widen the gap in the first half, and the head coaches of both teams realized that the second half might be more intense and stalemate than the first half.
This is true. After the second half of the game began, both team players discovered the changes in each other.
In the Pelicans' offense, Rose dribbled the ball to the half and Millsap pick-and-roll, rushed into the middle distance and passed the ball back to Millsap who was at the high position.
When receiving the ball, Millsap was not in a hurry to attack. He held the ball with both hands and leaned against Nowitzki, but Millsap's eyes fell on Li Feng.
From the bottom line, Li Feng rushed to the left along the three-point line, and then rushed past Millsap. Following Li Feng, Barnes squeezed over Millsap.
Barnes, who originally thought Li Feng would complete the hand-passing pass with Millsap, found that Li Feng had no basketball in his hand at this time. When he was confused, Li Feng, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped and ran back, and the man had rushed past Millsap again.
After braked urgently, Barnes quickly turned around and ran back, but he could only follow Li Feng when he fell into the back move. Millsap passed the ball sideways and even blocked Barnes in the back. Seeing that Barnes could not keep up with Li Feng, Nowitzki, behind Millsap, hurriedly flashed out and stopped Li Feng.
After a slight pause, he accelerated suddenly and took advantage of the rhythm change, Li Feng had already rushed to Nowitzki's side. Nowitzki's reaction was also rapid, and he quickly pushed forward and pressed against Li Feng's side. His body kept exerting force to interfere with Li Feng's forward rush.
Although he was held by Nowitzki, Li Feng still entered the three-second zone, and his strength made the explosive power burst. Li Feng suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, flashing half of his body from Nowitzki's side. He exerted force on his legs, and then he jumped up.
Seeing that Li Feng, who was close to his defense, was going to attack the basket directly, Nowitzki certainly couldn't remain indifferent. He jumped up immediately, and Nowitzki waved his hand to pounce at Li Feng.
At this moment, Li Feng, who was jumping forward, suddenly paused slightly in the air. He never expected that this would happen, and Nowitzki had no time to react and directly hit Li Feng.
"You are waiting for it"
Feeling the power coming from behind, Li Feng's mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, and at the same time he also heard the sound he wanted.
"force"
Amid the whistle, Li Feng's body shook slightly in the air and fell down. However, his right hand, who was catching the ball, tugging his five fingers at this time, threw the ball towards the basket.
"I scored the goal and made a layup and caused Dirk's foul. This is the second foul that Dirk has taken on Li Feng in this quarter."
"roar!"
With the muscles all over his body bulged, Li Feng yelled hard at the fans at the bottom line. His roar was echoed by the cheers of 20,000 fans at the scene.
On the sidelines, Mavericks' head coach Rick Carlisle frowned and took advantage of Li Feng's free throw line to call Nowitzki to his side.
"Dike, pay attention to your foul. That guy seems to be deliberately looking for fouls on you. He can't let him succeed. Control his movements when making up for defense and try to leave all this to Brandon."
Looking at Nowitzki's back as he reappeared, Carlisle wrapped his hands in front of his chest. Nowitzki actually made two fouls on Li Feng in this quarter, which made him smell the scent of conspiracy. If Nowitzki had not had one foul in the first half, he would not dare to let the team's absolute core stay on the court. You must know that the third quarter has only played halfway.
As Carlisle expected, because of Van Gundy's arrangement in the midfield, Li Feng did consciously look for Nowitzki to create a foul. Just as the ball just now, Li Feng had the opportunity to take over the ball and attack, but Barnes was able to keep up in time. It was not easy for Li Feng to create Nowitzki to foul.
The Pelicans attacked again. When Li Feng dribbled to the basket again, Nowitzki did not step forward to make up for the defense, but Bogut rushed over. However, this time, Li Feng did not attack by himself. He passed the ball to El Jefferson who followed up, and the latter succeeded.
Chapter completed!
