Chapter 963 Extremely overbearing(2/2)
After both of them landed, Li Feng had not yet landed. In the air, Li Feng quickly shrank and smashed the basketball towards the rebound.
"Bang!"
Li Feng smashed the basketball into the basket through the opponent's two players.
Li Feng is extremely domineering in playing like this, and he doesn't even see the Bulls' inside defense.
When playing such a ball, the home fans naturally cheered wildly, and the Pelicans players also jumped over and strengthened their breasts with Li Feng.
The Bulls played the rhythm in the first half, and now the Pelicans have made their momentum in the second half, and this is the Pelicans' home court. This sound is naturally incomparable to the offensive launched by the Bulls. Amid the cheers of the whole audience in the New Orleans Center, the Pelicans players were naturally excited.
The Bulls are facing the sudden rise of Pelicans. As the away team, the Bulls naturally want to stabilize the situation.
So at this critical moment, Paul held the ball and hit it again.
Once Paul came with the ball at this time, he still called for a half-time single, but at this time the Pelicans were not in line with Paul playing a half-time single.
Corey was pushing in front, Paul Gasol stood on the edge of the penalty area, and Li Feng was preparing to pounce on one side.
Facing this multiple defense, Paul still took the lead in testing the intensity of the defense, spied forward, and then pressed into the area of the central shot.
Paul pressed to this position, and the Pelicans immediately Paul Gasol and Li Feng moved towards Paul, and Paul had no room for attack. When he turned around and found someone to pass the ball in the league, the rest of the Pelicans were just blocking Paul's passing route. The Pelicans' team's defense was excellent.
The Pelicans force Paul to take action from the outside. If you take action from the outside, we will give you a certain chance, but if you want to break through the inside, we will accompany you in the penalty area. The Pelicans only leave Paul one way.
Paul now saw that there was not much time left in the offensive, so he could only swing a little from the outside and shoot a mid-range shot.
Paul's mid-range distance is not easy, but his rhythm is very strange, and it is difficult for the defender to seize the real time he takes action.
Paul is indeed in good shape today, and he scored 2 points against Corey's move.
Although Paul still scored a goal at this time, Van Gundy had a stable and good mentality because Paul allowed such a score. No defense can be without loopholes, and every defense must have loopholes.
The defensive strategy now implemented by the Pelicans is to prevent Paul from breaking through the basket and not disturbing the line, but to allow Paul to shoot from a long distance. Paul is really accurate, you can shoot me to death. If you can't shoot me to death by yourself, the Bulls will be finished.
The Pelicans made this adjustment after consideration. First, Paul played a lot of singles in the first half and his physical strength would definitely be consumed. He would definitely be affected in the second half, so the Pelicans dared to take a gamble.
Second, although Paul is very strong, Paul is still a point guard, neither a shooting guard nor a swingman. He can't win by scoring 30 points a night. Today, Paul's touch exploded, and the Pelicans are not afraid of him.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Pelicans have arranged such a defensive strategy.
The Bulls scored, and when the Pelicans got the basketball again.
The Bulls still refused to let Li Feng get the ball. At this time, Li Feng had to use the double cover set by his teammates at the bottom line to run out and get the ball at the bottom corner.
Li Feng took the ball. Mirotic hurriedly chased out to defend. Li Feng, who was holding the ball, faced Mirotic and stabbed in front tentatively.
Mirotic did not have any speed and quickly retreated to defend against Li Feng's breakthrough. But at this moment, Li Feng pulled the basketball back with his right hand, easily changed direction, and immediately threw the distance away. He jumped up with the ball and jumped into a three-pointer.
Li Feng shook Mirotic and made another three-pointer, which would be too easy. This ball was a clean shot.
The Bulls did not allow Li Feng to catch the ball. If Li Feng wanted to catch the ball, he had to cut the ball and run without the ball. Now Li Feng used his goal to run and got the basketball country to decisively throw three points. This shows that Li Feng has also turned on the scoring mode.
Li Feng started to throw a long shot, which means that the Pelicans will decide the winner at this moment. Once Li Feng starts to turn on the scoring mode, the Pelicans will definitely be ready to end the game.
The Bulls face a lot of offensive pressure. At this time, Paul came over again. He tried hard to win, but he still couldn't break through. He couldn't mess up the Pelicans' penalty area defense.
At this time, Paul had no choice but to pull out and want to pass the ball to Gibson. Gibson and Paul formed the Bulls' offensive core.
But at this time Gibson was surrounded by Al Jefferson to defend. Gibson had difficulty receiving the ball, and Paul had no choice but to shoot again.
This time, Paul missed the shot, and the shot was a little shorter, and Paul also didn't make it. Because Paul wants to advance, break through, and attack, this requires too much physical fitness.
Paul is not a stubborn shot, and he can't still shoot after doing so many things.
Paul Gasol caught a rebound in the backcourt, and the Pelicans played another Li Feng's off-ball run. Li Feng ran around the baseline quickly.
Li Feng ran out without the ball. This time the Bulls learned their lesson, and the big man in the inside also came out to delay Li Feng.
But just as Howard came out, Li Feng took the ball and passed the ball behind Howard.
Behind Howard, Paul Gasol easily cut the ball and sent the basketball into the Bulls' basket with an empty cut.
The Pelicans played around and finally attacked the Bulls' inside. Li Feng used to attack the Bulls' inside, but now he has the chance to attack Paul Gasol, and the Bulls are not good at height, so he has been bullied by the Pelicans.
The Bulls do have weaknesses in the inside line. At this time, they must use offense to make up for their defensive shortcomings, but the Bulls are hitting at this time and have encountered difficulties in offense.
The Pelicans prevented Gibson from getting the ball and asked Paul to fight alone. Paul did not play casually. The Pelicans allowed Paul to make long shots, preventing him from getting close to the basket, and even letting Paul touch the penalty area.
As a result, Paul came over and still couldn't break the Pelicans team defense alone. Paul finally passed the ball to Howard, who was inside, to play singles.
Howard has a certain ability to fight singles from the inside, but his efficiency is not good in this regard. When facing Paul Gasol, who is stronger than him, Howard's advantage is not obvious at all, and he is unable to make a shot by barely shooting.
After the Pelicans changed their defense in the second half, they greatly limited the Bulls' offensive efficiency, especially the minimum reduction of Paul's threat.
The Pelicans successfully defended for another round. When they turned around, Li Feng finally took Mirotic to the wing and stuck Mirotic behind him. Li Feng got the ball in a good position.
It was immediately seized the opportunity to squeeze into the opponent's basket. Li Feng was the main victim of the Bulls, so once Li Feng started attacking.
The bull immediately organized several people to double-team Li Feng. Li Feng faced the double-team and immediately turned around and waved his elbow up and down.
Of course, a European player like Mirotic is not fooled, but Li Feng is not easy to mess with. Mirotic is not fooled and he forced a layup with a low hand.
Mirotic slapped Li Feng in the arm, but Li Feng still made the ball.
