The Rockets took out the superstar tactics, and the Pelicans attacked, but did not play the star tactics, but played along with the inertia just now.

When the ball came, Ross was still in control of the ball and advanced. Li Feng received the ball in the first wave of attack in the first half. Li Feng did not take action rashly when he got the ball. Now the game has reached a critical stage, and the first point is to stabilize it.

Li Feng also directly pressed Casby with his body and slowly pressed into the Rockets' position. Li Feng wanted to use this method to attract the Rockets' defensive attention. Sure enough, with a slight move, the Rockets' defense immediately focused on Li Feng. At this time, Li Feng quickly passed the ball to Rose on the outside.

After Rose took the ball, he did not make three points, but also leaned forward.

As soon as he got together like this, he missed the opportunity and could only pass the basketball back to Li Feng.

Li Feng immediately retreated to the outside of the three-point line to receive the ball, and Li Feng once arrived outside the three-point line.

The Rockets' defense immediately changed, and Harden immediately rushed out and left four people to hold the basket.

The Rockets are playing against Li Feng in the area defense. When Li Feng saw this, he knew that he might still take action.

The Rockets' golden bell cover is not that easy to break, and Li Feng used the ball to threaten Harden again.

Before, Li Feng did not confront Harden head-on, but now it is impossible for him to avoid it.

After thinking it through, Li Feng immediately made a very simple move, forcing his best to break through, strengthening his strength and pushing Harden hard, and suddenly pulling Harden half a step. Only then did Li Feng strengthen his backward shooting.

Li Feng jumped on Harden's head, one relied on his own bounce, and the other was that he felt the touch, and he could play like this.

Sure enough, although Harden jumped and blocked with all his strength, Li Feng's bounce ability was not bad, and he also had a feel. In this way, Harden's defense set a benchmark for Li Feng. Li Feng shot and scored two points.

The scores of the two teams narrowed to 1 point.

The score is tight, and there is only 1 minute and 40 seconds left.

McHale arranged Harden's attack ahead, so once the Pelicans scored, Harden was the first to get the ball and appeared in the Pelicans' half.

"Harden scored, Li Feng scored too. The last minute of today will not become a match between Li Feng and Harden!"

Hubby Brown looked at the court and said with concern.

"Maybe!"

Antoine Walker answered uncertainly. Harden just shot once, and this time he didn't shoot again.

When Harden came over and saw that his teammates had all the space opened, he immediately shook his head slightly and rushed directly toward the basket from the right.

Arenas wanted to hold Harden with his body, but Harden was more proficient in using his body. His shoulders shook, and he suddenly shook Arenas away and then headed straight to the basket.

El Jefferson at the basket stepped forward and blocked. Harden fought against Arenas in the air or fought with his shoulders, and El Jefferson resisted.

Then Harden made a layup, which happened to cause El Jefferson to foul. The ball entered and the referee's whistle sounded again.

It's another 2+1. Harden's body and the ability to use the body are indeed good.

No one can stop him when he gave him a chance, and Harden hit another free throw at the free throw line. As a result, the gap between the two teams widened to 4 points.

In a limited time, the difference between getting 3 points at a time and getting 2 points at a time is huge.

Harden commented 2+1 twice, quietly widening the score, and the Pelicans are still very difficult to chase.

At this time, Van Gundy knew that his team had little hope for offense. He could only jump over and shout:

"Defense, defense, pay attention to defense!"

Van Gundy wanted to make up for the offensive shortcomings through defense. However, at this time, McHale also shouted at his team to defend.

Obviously, the Rockets have to maintain such a 4-point advantage. There are not many 4-pointers, but there are definitely many, especially when the time is only 1 minute.

With McHale's command of the Rockets' defensive oppressiveness becoming extremely strong, Harden even took care of Li Feng in close proximity, and even connected the ball and refused to let Li Feng receive it.

At this time, Li Feng could only try to rely on running positions to get the ball, but he was too unfamiliar with the Pelicans and other people, and several opportunities were wasted.

Li Feng could not get the ball here, and Ross and Arenas were not sure whether they nibbled the position. Ross had no choice but to pass Li Feng a more dangerous pass.

But as soon as the ball was passed, Harden seemed to be as fast as a leopard. He flashed past Li Feng and stole the basketball.

After stealing, they went straight to the Pelicans' half. When they saw Harden stealing, everyone in the New Orleans Arena shouted in their hearts, "It's over!"

Originally, he was 4 points behind, but if Harden scored two more points, he would not be able to catch up.

Arenas even looked dimly, and Ross couldn't move behind him, but Li Feng was quick-handed and rushed up and hugged Harden near the middle.

Li Feng fouled suddenly and did not give Harden any chance to perform. But even so, Harden still had to make a free throw! This is not easy to deal with. Harden made both free throws and scored two points.

At this time, the New Orleans fans at the New Orleans Arena were nervous and shouted desperately on the sidelines, trying to interfere with Harden's free throw.

But Harden made a steadily shot from the first free throw. The New Orleans were very hurt, but it didn't matter that everyone continued to interfere with Harden.

Harden finally shot the second ball, and the basketball swept the ball around the ring, but it didn't hit it.

Millsap jumped up and took the basketball in his arms, and then the New Orleans Arena finally cheered.

After Mirsap got the ball, he found Li Feng without thinking.

Li Feng knew that the opportunity was not missed after getting the basketball, so he ran wildly towards the Rockets' half.

When Harden turned around, he saw that Li Feng had the ball, he flew over immediately, trying to defend Li Feng closely.

Li Feng really didn't want to fight with Harden, so he wasted his time. When Li Feng saw Harden coming, he immediately made a fake move, and suddenly dribbled behind his back and wanted to pass Harden.

But Harden was not easy to fool, and Li Feng had just passed half a step before he chased after Li Feng and pressed him on him.

Li Feng couldn't get rid of Harden. Just when he was anxious, Al Jefferson's cover was in place in time.

Li Feng walked around in front of Al Jefferson, threw Harden away, and went outside the Rockets' three-point line, jumped directly to the three-pointer.

Li Feng caught up and made a three-pointer. The center of the New Orleans Arena was quiet for a second, and then the fans heard a pleasant sound of rubbing the net.

Three-pointer!

In this way, cheers from the New Orleans Arena swept over like a craze, and Li Feng's three-pointer brought the score closer to 2 points.

The Pelicans are easy to catch up with points. Just as the Pelicans celebrate.

Another change occurred in the referee, and he changed Li Feng's 3 points to 2 points at once because Li Feng stepped on the line.

After hearing this judgment, boos suddenly rang out from the stadium. In the last minute, can 3 points and 2 points be the same?

But the referee doesn't care about you, Li Feng did step on a little line through the video replay, so that the Pelicans will be more passive.

Because there are only 47 seconds left, the Rockets still have the ball rights. The Rockets still have a 2-point advantage, and the Libra is tilting towards the Rockets in full, and the Pelicans are really very, very dangerous.

At this time, everyone on the court was very nervous, whether it was the offensive or the defensive, and the emotions were tense and the confrontation was fierce, which made the atmosphere on the court extremely terrifying.

At this critical moment, McHale still believed in Harden alone, and he handed the basketball over to Harden to handle it.

Harden succeeded in singles with Arenas, and now his confidence has also risen. He came over and pulled outside the three-point line first and waited for the time to come, and then gave Arenas a blow to end the battle.

Harden moved from outside the three-point line, and Li Feng was staring at Casby near the bottom corner while also thinking.

The situation is obvious that Harden feels very good now, and it is difficult for Arenas to stop Harden.

At this time, Arenas absolutely needed support, and only the best candidates who can support Arenas.

Whether in terms of confrontation or bounce, with his own intervention and forming a double defense with Arenas, Harden absolutely has no good opportunity to take action.

Thinking of this, Li Feng saw that there were only 8 seconds left, and he immediately turned around and said to Al Jefferson:

"Help me watch him!"

It was said that Li Feng pushed Casby invisible and pushed Casby to El Jefferson's side. Then Li Feng gave up his defender and headed straight for Harden. When Li Feng came over, he happened to catch up with Harden's attack.

Harden took the ball and just took a step forward when he saw Li Feng flying over and formed a double defense with Arenas to stop him.

Arenas and Li Feng both have super strong confrontation, and both of them have flexibility. Harden was not sure to face two super defenders at this time. At this time, he immediately saw Casby missing out on one side.

Harden is not a team player, but today he wants to win!

He immediately passed the ball into Casby's hand. Casby received the ball and raised his hand to Al Jefferson.

Casby had only one step to dribble horizontally and wanted to break through Al Jefferson, but at this time, Li Feng rushed back quickly after snatching Harden. This time, Casby had no chance to take the ball at the open position, and could only pass the ball to Greg Smith in the bottom corner.

Greg Smith was not an offensive player for a little hesitation, and the time was up.

At the most critical moment, the Pelicans defended the Rockets for 24 seconds, and McHale suddenly dropped the tactical board in anger.

Harden's last goal was still his own shot, and no matter whether he made a shot or miss, there was nothing wrong with it.

But the key is that he finally didn't choose to pass the ball in a singles. Although his intention to pass the ball is good, his teammates are in the open position.

But basketball is not chess, so people should be considered first. At critical moments, the simpler the game, the more determined it is, the more effective it is.

Harden's pass is good and the team pays attention, but not good and it means avoiding the important thing, because the Rockets are not a team that has always played team basketball. The Rockets play superstar tactics. If you don't shoot at critical moments, it's a mistake.

If the Spurs handled this ball like this, no one would say anything, they would have played the team.

What the Rockets sell is Harden. At critical moments, you, the king of rogues, isn't that what?

So McHale was very angry, but he couldn't perform too much. In the eyes of the management, he was not as important as Harden, so McHale could only endure it.

However, Van Gundy happily called a timeout, and immediately assigned the offensive mission to Li Feng.

There are exactly 24 seconds left now. The difference is only 2 points, so it is a must-try to shoot three-pointers, and Li Feng is the safest to shoot three-pointers.

After the attack was arranged, the timeout ended. The Pelicans kicked off in the middle. Li Feng received the ball under the cover of his teammates. Li Feng opened the ball farther outside the three-point line like Harden.

Wait for time and prepare for the attack!

Harden came out to keep an eye on Li Feng at this time. After a game today, Harden finally understood what a dangerous role Li Feng is. At this time, Harden had devoted himself to the defense.
