Chapter 860 Abnormal
The fans of the New Orleans Arena saw the Grizzlies players celebrating at their home court, so the diehards who were unwilling to leave the court booed at the Grizzlies players on the court, wanting to boo the Grizzlies players, but the Grizzlies guys had already developed a face and didn't care at all.
At this time, the Pelicans players and coaches couldn't bear to watch the Grizzlies celebrated at their own stadium, and all their faces were gloomy and walked towards the player passage. At this time, there were reporters who wanted to interview Li Feng, but Li Feng quickly bypassed the reporter. He didn't seem to talk nonsense to the reporter.
In today's game, the Pelicans lost so embarrassingly. How could there be so many mistakes? How could such a situation occur?
After the game, the Pelicans became the target of the media's bombardment, with coach Jeff Van Gundy being the first to be the brunt. At the last moment, he failed to make effective adjustments to the team, causing the Pelicans to collapse and lose at home, losing the advantage of suppressing the Grizzlies 2-0.
Now the two teams have tied 1-1, and the third game has moved to Memphis for the third stop. This game has attracted the attention of the whole world.
Perhaps it was the Pelicans' home game that made the Memphis Grizzlies' morale boost. They invited the rap performance at the third stop. When the rap group's performance ended, the Memphis Grizzlies' live DJ finally announced the start of the game. With his voice, the Grizzlies routinely played the Grizzlies' own promotional video. The Grizzlies' promotional video mainly appeared in the figure of Marc Gasol. On the big screen, you can see Gasol appearing one after another and then dunk one after another. The content displayed on the video is extremely wild and violent.
But in fact, the Memphis Grizzlies are not a fierce and violent team at all. Their style of playing can be said to be united and fierce.
All the Pelicans' five Tiger players appeared, Ross, Arenas, Li Feng, Millsap, and Al Jefferson. The lineup has not changed, Robert Pera's style.
Next is the appearance of the Grizzlies. Prince, Tony Allen, Conley, Randolph, and the last one to come out of the Grizzlies is Marc Gasol. Now he is all the hopes of the Grizzlies. He is the king of the Grizzlies. When the king appears, the atmosphere will be absolutely different.
When Marc Gasol walked out with a sudden heavy rhythm, the FedEx Stadium immediately raised blue waves, and cheers gushed out like the Atlantic Ocean water, resounding throughout the FedEx Stadium. Marc Gasol smiled with a new and honest smile and waved around him.
The cheers at the FedEx Arena saved wave after wave.
At this time, Barkley was sitting in the commentary seat and began to speak loudly:
"Kenny, Miller, and Hardaway, this is our second time explaining the Pelicans and the Grizzlies' game. How do you feel?"
Today's game broadcast is tnt, and tnt also regards this game as the key point, using Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and also invited Reggie Miller and Penny Hardaway to appear as guests today. Today's commentary lineup can really be said to be a strong lineup.
The first thing that talked was Penny Hardaway:
"The Grizzlies' lineup is very neat, and I feel very pleased when I see such a lineup."
Miller never gives in, although he is relatively thin, but mentally, he is a giant.
"The Pelicans are also an increasingly perfect team, and they have made great progress from the inside to the outside. In addition to Li Feng, Millsap is now in a state worthy of the All-Star, and Al Jefferson has not made much effort yet. There is no need to say much about the depth of the Pelicans' lineup."
Miller obviously has much more in-depth research on the Pelicans than Hardaway for the Grizzlies. When Miller spoke loudly, Barkley and Kenny also smiled at each other. Is it really the right choice to let these two people be the guest of this game?
Van Gundy was already at the edge of the rest seat, and he was thinking in his mind that Robert Pera did give himself a puzzle today. At this time, he did not use Zach Randolph, nor other insiders. He just used Marc Gasol alone and played with one big and four small.
James Johnson appeared in the starting lineup, Zach Randolph, Ed Davis, Kufos, Loyle and others were all on the bench, and the Grizzlies brought all the most fire-powered players in the team at one time. They wanted to catch their team off guard at the beginning, which must be like this. If the game was controlled by the Grizzlies from the beginning, the game would be very difficult.
At this time, Van Gundy's mind almost quickly copied Robert Pera's conspiracy, and then Van Gundy began to think about countermeasures. What they wanted to play was a fast and fierce offensive basketball, which was similar to the offensive method that Robert Pera advocated recently.
Then the Pelicans only have defense as a weapon. If the Grizzlies want to win, they use strong offense, then for the Pelicans, if they want to win, they must first pay attention to defense.
Van Gundy suddenly felt a little nervous. This game was very important to him, and now even he is a little confused about it.
Just when Van Gundy was unsure of his own mind, the game had already begun. Al Jefferson and Marc Gasol began to compete for the ball in the middle circle. With the referee's whistle, Marc Gasol's strong body gained an absolute advantage and immediately pointed the practice into Conley's hands.
After Conley received the basketball, he was eager to attack forward, but controlled the basketball's alternating dribble in the crotch and teased Li Feng in front of him. Although Li Feng's height was far above Conley, he didn't care, and didn't care at all.
The Grizzlies were not ready for the first shot at the opening, and even the Grizzlies' formation was not shown. However, Conley was ready at this time, and he couldn't even wait. The dribble suddenly changed the rhythm in front of Li Feng's ground, and dribbled the ball up and swayed for a while.
It seemed like an electric toy that suddenly started, with a sudden force. Li Feng was also surprised. He moved in a hurry, but it was just a fake move by Conley, such a simple fake move.
Then Conley suddenly jumped and shot, not only the Pelicans were unprepared, but even the Grizzlies were unprepared. Seeing Conley's shooting like this, he obviously went against Robert Pera's wish, and the fat man sat there and shook his head quickly.
It seemed like he was going to shout something, but now it was too late. Conley had decided to do this, so he moved.
When a person's spirit and will reach a peak, he often does things beyond his ability. Conley's move at this time is as smooth as silk, and his movements are as stretched like a crane, spreading his wings gently, and then flapping soothingly.
The basketball fell into the basket behind the Pelicans with a "swish" over Li Feng's head. This was the Grizzlies' first shot. When Fersis scored, the fans didn't care how the coach arranged the ball. They just saw the goal, so the audience remembered the applause in the stands.
"Wow!"
The FedEx Arena began to vibrate.
Penny Hardaway also came over and said:
"Conley's offense is very strong today, and it can be seen that he feels very wrong. Such a Conley is dangerous. The Pelicans are best able to find a way to deal with him."
"Yes. He doesn't look like a point guard today, it's so strange." Miller looked at Conley's attack, but he didn't really care much.
Van Gundy looked at the field depressedly, and suddenly stood up and stood on the sideline and shouted loudly at his players:
"Strengthen the defense. We must strengthen the defense and increase the intensity of the defense, that is now."
The Pelicans are indeed a team that is good at defense, but Van Gundy was still a little impatient. Now is not an opportunity to improve the intensity of the defense. At the beginning of the game, one choice is to win by surprise. Hold the opponent, and the other is to slowly adjust the state and choose a victory for a century to play the local festival.
Now that the Pelicans have been taken by their opponents, the choice is to adjust continuously to keep pace with the opponent's footsteps, first of all, not be defeated, and then a fierce counterattack.
Van Gundy screamed too much, but the mood of the Pelicans on this side changed a little bit. The Pelicans were held in the player channel for too long just now, so they kept their anger in the anger. They even got the first point from Conley, and the anger in their chests became even louder.
But at this time Van Gundy came over and said that the defense would not let these people get angry, but instead asked them to hold back. This effect was that Lyle's rush to fuck him and the team's depression.
When the Pelicans came over, they adjusted the lineup and let Millsap test it in the inside. The Pelicans' tactical discipline is clearly better than the Grizzlies, and the route is very emotional. After the basketball is close to the inside, Millsap's opponent is Randolph, but today it becomes James Johnson. This is really a very easy character for Millsap. Just use his own strength to force the opponent.
Millsap was bored for a long time behind. After he came over, he moved more vigorously and fought fiercely. James Johnson behind him had no power to resist under Millsap's tyranny, but this Turk was still very smart. At the moment Millsap's last move, he flashed and shook Millsap's center of gravity.
It was like a man who had enough strength to hit the air with a punch. Millsap's stomach did not sway the anger in his stomach. Instead, he shot the basketball so much that the Pelicans lost the first goal inexplicably.
After the Pelicans lost the first place, Mi immediately said:
"Milsap should have no questions when he played James Johnson at the position just now, but how could he miss such a big mistake? Isn't Mirsap in good condition?"
The reality is indeed similar to what Miller said. Millsap is not in good condition now. There was a fire in his stomach before the game. He waited for so long when he arrived at the scene. The first fist hit the air when he went on the court, which was like wasting his internal energy that had been accumulated for a long time in a boring place.
Millsap's anxiety turned into a hurry again, and playing ball in this state is obviously not so suitable.
The basketball that Millsap missed, just as soon as he hit the basket, El Jefferson at the basket began to fight with Marc Gasol. This was also the first battle between the two of them. When on the ground, El Jefferson actually did not suffer any losses and occupied a good position. However, once he started to jump, the advantage that El Jefferson had accumulated in front was immediately gone. Marc Gasol rushed to El Jefferson's head almost instantly, and took off the rebound. Then he turned around and passed it to Conley.
Marc Gasol passed it to whoever he was close to. After he passed the basketball to Conley, he actually regretted it because Conley didn't seem to play as the head coach's request today.
Conley and Marc Gasol were completely different. After receiving the pass from Marc Gasol, he thought that Marc Gasol had already admitted his current behavior. Conley immediately turned around and dribbled against the Pelicans.
Conley came over and relied on his teammates to cover two consecutive times to throw Li Feng behind his butt. After the guy shook Li Feng away, he ignored Ross' defense at all. After holding back Ross, he rushed forward.
Conley is not only fast, but also has very strong upper limb strength. Even Ross, who is one of the largest number than him, can't resist the rushing. It's just that Conley passed Li Feng and then pushed Ross away.
He rushed to the Pelicans' half alone. At this time, no one from behind the Grizzlies responded. Tony Allen was a little stupid and couldn't react, so he could only watch Conley kill. At this time, Arenas finally caught up and he wanted to stop Conley. However, he was deceived by Conley with a fake move. Just as Conley didn't even watch, Arenas got up and layups next to Arenas.
Arenas stretched out his hands, but the ground was like the whistle of the referee. Conley was so arrogant. He killed the Pelicans alone and was so cold-hearted that he killed two points from the outside to the inside. Not only did he get another extra penalty.
This situation made the Grizzlies fans even more satisfied. They cheered one after another. Conley made a very confident free throw line. Conley was like this. If he played crazy, you are the little Pelicans, the Lakers group at the peak, and he could knock them to the ground alone.
The cheers at the FedEx Arena were deafening, and Barkley said in surprise:
"If a player does something stupid once, it may be his mistake but does something stupid twice in a row, it is the coach's tactics. Is it too extraordinary to say that the Grizzlies' tactics now make Conley rush like this?"
“This is impossible.”
Li Feng immediately interrupted Barkley:
"The Grizzlies are not a team that relies on a certain player to play, which is not normal."
Hardaway was about to refute, but Kenny Smith said:
"If this continues, I think Robert Pera will also adjust his tactics and tilt his tactics to Conley."
Van Gundy was trying hard to emphasize defense here, but he definitely did not expect that the Grizzlies could not easily score points twice under his emphasis. He got angry next to the sideline with great anger. In fact, Van Gundy's mood was really too nervous and out of control. In the past, Carl rarely got angry, but at the beginning of the game today, Van Gundy couldn't control it.
At this time, the Pelicans' mood became even worse, and even Li Feng became restless. Li Feng passed by the Grizzlies and was eager to shoot again. After seeing his players missed continuously, he began to grab rebounds from below. In the position, Al Jefferson robbed very well, but at the end of the jump, Al Jefferson was even more easily abused by Marc Gasol.
At this time, Marc Gasol | started to pass the ball with Conley. The first time he competed for the ball was because of luck. Marc Gasol picked the ball to Conley. The second time was a mistake that Marc Gasol himself regretted, but this third time was Marc Gasol himself volunteered because he saw that Conley was really furious today.
If one or two people get angry like this, it would be unreasonable to not pass it on to him at this time and let the guy in good condition beat him.
Marc Gasol stuffed the basketball into Conley's hands, and Conley's confidence immediately reached another step. This time he did not launch a fast break, but dribbled the ball towards the Pelicans' half. When Conley was dribbling, fans raised the large sign "Conley, our brain."
Conley is a stubborn and temperamental person. At this time, Conley's emotions began to stir up. He suddenly started two steps to the edge of the Pelicans' three-point line. Then, Marc Gasol took the initiative to come up and protected Conley.
With this cover, Conley completely merged in spirit and will. He kicked the ground and rushed horizontally to the Pelicans' basket. The Pelicans' defense level was still very good. Millsap immediately made up.
At this time, the Pelicans had no loopholes in the inside, but Conley was Conley, and he quickly flew into the air. Millsap could only stick to the defense, but Conley demonstrated that he was best at folding a layup, folding his body in the air, posing a monkey stealing posture, and quietly handed the ball to the basket.
This guy actually made a layup against Millsap, and he successfully made a layup. At this time, Marc Gasol, who turned around, grew up his mouth even more and went over and hugged Conley hard.
Conley even entered a state of fanaticism and posed as a street dance. She twisted her ankles several times in a row and moved horizontally. This dance knight was not beautiful, and it was even a bit ugly. But when Conley's dance pose reached the big screen.
The audience at the FedEx Arena began to cheer enthusiastically. Conley defeated the Pelicans' defense in an absolutely impossible way in his own way.
At this time Miller shouted:
"Oh, my God, how could he do this? It's totally unreasonable. It's totally unreasonable."
"Don't forget, the principle of basketball is to score. Only scoring is the most important principle of basketball. Now Conley has done it, so he is a manifestation of having the truth."
Hardaway ignored what the reason. He also seemed to play basketball like this when you were.
At this time, Robert Pera also stood up from his position. The fat man laughed in disbelief. This was definitely an unexpected gain for Robert Pera. He just returned to home and gave the opponent such a blow. It was definitely Robert Pera who was happy to see it, and he was not as good as Van Gundy. He clearly saw that his players played well. He still had to replace his players.
Conley is dancing, Marc Gasol is laughing, Robert Pera is laughing, and Miller and Hardaway are fighting.
Li Feng suddenly felt that today's game was a little out of control. From the beginning, he fell towards a place where he was not controlled at all. Even Van Gundy had problems. He was still yelling at Li Feng and the others to defend.
Seeing all the Pelicans killing, Ross finally made the first mid-range shot, stabilizing the situation a little bit, Li Feng ran to the sideline and quickly climbed to Van Gundy and said:
"Van Gundy, let's call for a pause, and the situation is a little wrong now."
"No, we have insufficient defense."
Van Gundy ignored Li Feng and said something as if he was talking to himself.
But at this time, the FedEx Arena began to have a carnival, and the blue FedEx Arena was shouting Conley's name loudly.
"Conley, Conley, Conley."
Such a roar was shocking, and it also inspired Conley's wild dreams, stimulating this powerful defender who could have gone higher, full of strength.
He likes this feeling, he likes to hear the audience shouting his name, just like he was in Ohio at that time, and he likes this feeling, and at this time he feels that he is the center of the world, and only when he is at the center of the world, his heart is beating.
At this time, Tony Allen also gave up his usual hobby of rushing into the basket and handed the basketball over Conley. Conley was still full of confidence. Conley dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously. He was stirring Li Feng, and he was also stirring the desire of the FedEx Arena.
But it was Kang Li himself who couldn't help but provoke it first. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Li Feng in a daze. Li Feng was only going to resist, but Kang Li played a flower. When he almost met Li Feng, he suddenly turned around and rushed into the Pelicans' three-second zone with the basketball again.
At this time, Ross, who had already hated Conley's performance, planned to make an early foul, but as soon as his hand reached out, he saw Conley throw the basketball into the air, and then when Ross turned around.
What he saw was Marc Gasol jumping between Al Jefferson and Millsap, but he occupied the highest height. (To be continued...)
