The Pelicans didn't score for a long time, and finally scored two points with free throws. When the Bulls came again, Corey didn't dare to let Paul get the ball. Corey rushed up and tried his best to stop Paul from getting the ball.—{2}{3}{w}{x}]

Paul did not get the basketball, but Moore came over but got the basketball. Moore got the basketball, which was also ignited by Paul.

Moore came over and faced Pierce's simple change of direction. He pulled up and shot with a two-point shot.

"Swish!"

Moore's mid-range shot also made a comeback, Paul broke out, driving the whole team. At this time, it was difficult for the Pelicans to control the situation again!

Although Li Feng wanted to lead the team to stabilize the situation at this time, Paul was too crazy. Moore was a little crazy at the beginning of the second quarter today, and Mirotic's long-range shot was also very stable. After the second quarter, the Pelicans were gradually at a disadvantage.

Moreover, in a short period of time, the Pelicans did not reverse the trend. The Bulls played well in the first quarter and were completely frustrated in the second quarter. The Pelicans could not hold back a group of crazy players.

At the end of the first half, the Pelicans lost 11 points and the Bulls led the Pelicans 57-46.

In the first half of the first game of the season, the Pelicans, who had the home advantage, did not get any advantage and faced a huge crisis, which made people fall into glasses.

In the midfield, Yu Jia also asked Coach Zhang:

"Coach Zhang, see why the Pelicans fell behind in the first half today. In this way, they are more passive!"

Director Zhang was still very biased at this time:

"Today, as long as Li Feng was left behind, the Bulls restricted Li Feng and did not let Li Feng lead the Pelicans to play their own rhythm. Then the Bulls themselves had Paul driving the entire team. This is the difference between the two teams."

Director Zhang still put Li Feng first, but the American commentator Bill Walton believes:

"Paul in the first half of today played a performance-level game. Although this is a huge help to the Bulls, I am a little worried about Paul's physical strength. You should know that the level of confrontation in the second half will definitely increase."

Bill Walton is really much more fair than Coach Zhang. And the Pelicans will definitely give priority to Paul's problem in the second half. Although the Pelicans lost the lead, they lost the game at the right time.

At the beginning of the second half, both teams returned to the stadium, and the opening was the Bulls' ball that played very well in the first half.

The Bulls came up at this time, and the basketball was still in Paul's hands. Paul went to the Pelicans' half to see. The Pelicans' defense changed again. This time, the Pelicans not only defended, but also double-teamed, but Corey followed the front with a big man behind. There were players on the wing who were ready to assist in defense at any time.

The Pelicans used the strength of the team to defend Paul. This kind of defense is not fierce in double-teaming, but there are more follow-up methods and are not as targeted as a single defense, but emphasizes the overall strength.

When Paul saw that the Pelicans had a strict team defense against him, he came up and tried it and called a cover.

When Paul called for cover, the Pelicans quickly used the method of squeezing over to defend Paul, and then the big guy delayed it.

The Pelicans did a very good job in team defense, and Paul rushed over and did not gain any advantage.

Moreover, the Pelicans started the second half. Not only were they defended but they were more strategic, but the intensity of their defense also increased sharply.

After all, the Pelicans are the top team in the league. Once the defensive strength increases, Paul will lose a lot of skin when he goes through this.

Facing this kind of defense, Paul's unyielding temper came back again, and he rushed over immediately and wanted to play like he did in the first half.

The Pelicans did pay two people to defend him, and Cory and Al Jefferson went to double-team Paul.

Paul had the opportunity to pass the ball to Ty Gibson, who was at a high open position. Gibson got the ball at this time. He wanted to shoot.

Suddenly, he saw Li Feng coming to his side like a whirlwind. Gibson should not be too tall, but his body is famously strong. At this time, he saw that Li Feng was coming, and he immediately wanted to bully Li Feng with his body.

Li Feng had this kind of preparation, and used his body to fight Gibson. Gibson did not squeeze out Li Feng away.

When he was a little stunned, Li Feng quickly put Gibson's ball down in his hand.

Li Feng couldn't steal Paul's ball, but he could steal Gibson's ball and cut off the basketball. Li Feng took the ball and turned around and ran towards the Bulls' half.

Although Li Feng also attacked in the first half, he used 80% of his strength to play. Now in the second half, Li Feng was playing with his life and put out 120 points to play, so at this time, Li Feng was fighting to the Bulls to fight to the death.

At this time, Jimmy Butler, who was on the court, wanted to delay Li Feng, but was hit by Li Feng who was speeding in the air with his shoulder.

Li Feng knocked Jimmy Butler away with his shoulder and rushed to the three-point line in two steps. When he reached this position, Li Feng flew up and threw a tomahawk dunk into the Bulls' basket.

"Clang!"

Li Feng started the second half with a dunk, which finally ignited the New Orleans Center.

The New Orleans Center cheered. After Li Feng landed, he also extended his hands to the whole audience and signaled all the fans on the court to cheer for him.

As a result, the home cheers at the New Orleans Center became even more crazy. Amid the greater cheers, the Pelicans' morale was greatly boosted, and the team swept away the haze of the first half.

As soon as the second half began, the Pelicans pushed out their home momentum.

At this time, the Bulls felt the pressure given by the Pelicans. Paul took the ball again, facing the Pelicans' airtight team defense.

At this time, Paul tried to break through again, and the Pelicans immediately used a switch defense. Paul still had no chance to force his attack.

This is Paul's sorrow. Other superstars have the ability to do something that no one can stop me if I want to take action.

However, Paul's physical fitness does not support him in doing so. When Paul encounters absolute defense, he needs to rely more on skills to take action, rather than forcefully.

So at this time, once Paul is entangled by the Pelicans with team defense, his best choice is to pass the ball.

The last time Paul passed the ball to Gibson in the inside, this time, Paul passed the ball to Mike Dunleavy in the outside. Mike Dunleavy performed well in the first quarter and had a high three-point shooting percentage. At this time, he immediately raised his hand to attack when he received the ball.

But in the second half of today, the Pelicans' defensive intensity increased, and Granger was suddenly attached to Mike Dunleavy.

Mike Dunleavy forced his move, and the effect was naturally not good. The basketball flew out and hit the ring, and the Bulls missed the shot again.

At this time, Paul Gasolka took over the backcourt rebound and immediately passed the ball back to Li Feng. Li Feng got the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward like a storm.

This time, Li Feng hit him completely with his body, causing Jimmy Butler to continue to stumble.

Li Feng advanced rapidly, completely destroying the Bulls' retreat rhythm. At this time, Howard was about to go up and assist in defense.

Li Feng passed the ball behind Howard with a hit, and Al Jefferson happened to cut the ball away here. He took the ball and made a beautiful dunk.

"Clang!"

The Pelicans made another dunk. At the beginning of the second half, the Pelicans hit the Bulls' head with two dunks.

The Pelicans not only quickly narrowed the score, but their morale has also skyrocketed. When they fall into the opponent's championship at home, they will definitely not be able to turn the tables.

So when the Bulls started the game more than one point, they immediately called a timeout. If the Pelicans were allowed to continue playing like this, they would definitely die, so the Bulls must adjust as soon as possible. Let the game enter the rhythm they want to see.

For this rhythm, Phil Jackson first adjusted the personnel. The first step he took was to replace the old Mirotic.

At this time, Phil Jackson discovered that the best outside defender of his team was Mirotic, who was in his 30s, which was a very annoying thing.

Phil Jackson used Mirotic on defense, and on offense he saw the Pelicans target Paul again, so he needed to connect Paul and Gibson.

This is Paul's weakness. Without extraordinary physical fitness, he needs a partner who can score points and share his own pressure.

The timeout ended. The Bulls began to stabilize their position, and the basketball first came to Gibson at the basket, and the Bulls wanted to start from the inside.

But Gibson just got the ball here, and the Pelicans' double-team arrived all at once. The Pelicans' strategy at this time hopes to use the current high morale to disrupt everything about the Bulls. Gibson did not expect that the Pelicans' double-team came so quickly, and he passed the ball to the outside.

The Pelicans' rotation defense immediately rushed out, and the Bulls' first adjustment was not effective when they came back from the timeout.

Mirotic finally passed the basketball to Paul, and Paul still wanted to play hard and was forced to come to this place.

Paul had no choice but to rush forward, and took the ball and rushed towards Corey. Suddenly, he changed direction and raised his hand and made a fake move. Corey jumped slightly, and Paul immediately lied to Corey for a foul.

At the critical moment, the bull still has to look at Paul in the end!

Paul made two free throws at the free throw line, and the Pelicans also realized that the Bulls started to play Paul again.

At this time, the Pelicans came over the backcourt again, and the Bulls had set up their positions to defend.

Facing the position that the Bulls have set up, Corey cannot take the initiative to attack with the ball, and Li Feng is also someone who specializes in the Bulls.

At this time, Corey had to pass the ball to El Jefferson, who had singles ability and had average defensive pressure.

Al Jefferson got the ball at this time and immediately formed a one-on-one with Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson also wanted to take advantage of his height, but the Bulls also tried their best to defend themselves.

It is also difficult for Al Jefferson to take action. Just when Al Jefferson was in a dilemma, Li Feng suddenly cut in an empty space, pushed away Mirotic who was defending himself, and cut into the penalty area.

Li Feng started running harder in the second half to win opportunities!

When Al Jefferson saw that Li Feng was coming, he quickly handed over the basketball in his hand to Li Feng.

Li Feng instantly took the ball in the opponent's penalty area, and then the moment when several opponents doubled up, Li Feng suddenly threw a high throw.

Li Feng cut into the Bulls' penalty area and threw high. The Bulls' inside height was insufficient and could not interfere with Li Feng. Li Feng made a quick shot.

The Pelicans played Li Feng at the critical moment, while the Bulls played Paul. The competition was indeed the star at the critical moment of the game.

At the critical moment of the game, the stars of both teams began to make efforts.

The Bulls came over again and wanted to play from Gibson. Gibson also paid more attention to quick shots when he got the ball.

He turned around with the ball and pressed El Jefferson for a step. Then he took a step back and took action. The difficulty of Tygibson's attack was high enough.

But sorry, today the Pelicans' defense was mad dog-like, and Al Jefferson used such a killer move. But he still couldn't get rid of Al Jefferson's defense. Today, Al Jefferson attacked well in the first half, and the defense in the second half was full of electricity.

Once Gibson's attack failed, the Pelicans immediately grabbed the backcourt rebound, and Li Feng took the ball and led the team to advance the fast attack again.

The Bulls were hit by Li Feng twice in a fast attack, and they suffered enough. When they saw Li Feng running, they came back quickly to defend the game.

The Bulls had already stood firm at this time and had already made all defenses. But even so, Li Feng lowered his head and rushed towards the Bulls' stop.

Li Feng came to rush again, and Mirotic quickly used a secret move on the side and gave Li Feng an elbow below.

Generally speaking, this moment worked, but Li Feng seemed to be made of tree bark, and he endured this moment without being moved.

Didn’t Li Feng notice Mirotic’s small movements? Of course not. Li Feng felt it and was also furious.

But Li Feng had to use basketball to fight back, instead of entangling Mirotic. If entangled with Mirotic, then Mirotic will succeed.

So Li Feng endured it and became angry. He suddenly tried his best to think about the Bulls' penalty area. The Bulls were defending both insides at this time, but Howard was not tall enough, and Gibson was not tall enough. Li Feng directly fought against them in the air.
