At this time, the Pelicans' group of players had not recovered from their inertia of relaxed gameplay, and rushed to San Antonio, still a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Even when Li Feng was double-teamed, they made very little contribution from the outside. At this time, the Pelicans' shortcomings of not shooting three-pointers were suddenly magnified.

If the Pelicans players have three-pointers, Li Feng will be double-teamed and throw the ball out and shoot a three-pointer directly from outside the three-point line.

However, the Pelicans did not have three-pointers, so they needed to dribble the ball into the three-point line.

From this step, the Spurs' defense came back and there was no chance of open space.

So the current situation is that while the Pelicans are concentrating their forces to double-team Li Feng, they can also limit other people's shooting.

The Spurs completely suppressed the Pelicans' play on the court. At this time, the Spurs are far ahead in terms of scores and momentum.

With the constant cheers of San Antonio, the Pelicans became more and more dull as they played. The Spurs widened the gap to 47-32, leading the Pelicans by 15 points.

The score difference was widened to 15 points, and his momentum became increasingly depressed, which made Van Gundy unable to help it.

He knew very well that if he couldn't hold on at this time, the Pelicans might be over.

First of all, it is much more difficult to catch points on the Spurs than playing against the Bulls and Nets. The Spurs' defensive level is something that other teams cannot compare with.

Van Gundy called a timeout, replaced Granger, who had just played on the court and replaced Kelly.

Playing the Celtics in the last game made Van Gundy start trying to transform Kelly into a small forward, just like Rashad Lewis did.

While substitutions, Van Gundy asked the team to speed up the ball's conduction speed so that it could find fleeting opportunities from the Spurs' close defense.

After the timeout, it was the Pelicans' sideline ball. Li Feng ran out to catch the ball when he tried his best. After turning around, the two defensive players of the Spurs immediately doubled the left and right to block Li Feng at a 45-degree position.

At this time, Li Feng transferred the ball as fast as possible according to Van Gundy's request, jumped up and swung the ball towards Paul Gasol, who was thinking of cutting into the basket.

Where was Split in front of Paul Gasol waiting with a dark face like a goalkeeper? He had no chance to attack. He hurriedly threw the basketball on the way while he was moving, waiting in the hands of Kelly in the bottom corner.

Kelly received the ball at the bottom corner, and there was no one in front of him. The Spurs had to double-team Li Feng and protect the basket. His position was completely empty. At this time, Kelly adjusted a little and made a three-pointer that was completely unexpected.

The ball hit!

Kelly made a three-pointer, and in addition to being surprised, everyone went over to high-fives with Kelly to encourage him.

Now that the Pelicans are in a trough, what they need most is such a new force.

The Pelicans made a timely three-pointer, and their morale improved when they turned around, while the Spurs were a little relaxed when they were leading for a long time.

Parker came over and made a mistake in passing the ball and sent the basketball to the Pelicans in vain.

With the opportunity to get a fast break, Li Feng immediately grabbed it. He ran over and stopped and scored 2 points again.

The Pelicans caught up for 5 points in a row, and their momentum was slightly stabilized. The Pelicans also found some ways to deal with the Spurs' crazy double-team, which is to speed up the pass. Make the team play more overall, and everyone takes action if they have the chance, so that they can untie the heavy shackles on Li Feng.

The Spurs were awakened by the Pelicans' score. They fell to the Pelicans' position and played more seriously.

The Spurs also pulled the space very openly, and Leonard and Danny Green were both ambushed to the bottom corner. Split stayed alone near the basket.

Parker came up to play a high pick-and-roll with Duncan. After blocking for a while, Duncan pulled out the outside and completely freed up the space in the penalty area.

In this way, Parker was very determined to control the ball and hit the Pelicans' basket.

Parker's short attack on the basket made the Pelicans naturally shrink their defense, but at this time Parker turned around and passed the basketball to Duncan.

Duncan completely ignored Paul Gasol in front of him and took a step horizontally, made a move in the face frame, and made a shot.

Paul Gasol's defense is still too weak for Duncan, and although the Spurs' attack is simple, Parker's strength is reflected. Just now, Parker passed the ball calmly in the crowd, and the chance of passing the ball happened. He attracted enough firepower and could accurately divide the ball. With this alone, most point guards in the league cannot do it.

It's easy to break through and attract attention and then pass it to your teammates. But between the flash of breakthroughs, you have to protect the ball, you have to pose a threat to the basket, you have to see your teammates, and finally you have to pass it out. This requires a lot of things to be handled in an instant, and the skills required are very high, which is really not something that ordinary guards can do.

The Spurs used another simple cooperation and got two points to curb the Pelicans.

When the Pelicans came to the Spurs' half again, it was still very difficult for Li Feng to receive the basketball. Even after getting the basketball through Roten's cross cover, he encountered double-teams. At this time, Li Feng knew that relying on himself alone was not enough. As soon as he saw the double-team, he immediately passed the ball to Paul Gasol at the free throw line.

Paul Gasol took the ball, and Li Feng quickly inserted it to the Spurs 45 degrees, trying to get the position where the main person attacked from behind, but at this time, Leonard defended Li Feng around the front and cut off the passing route.

It was still difficult for Li Feng to get the ball. Just when Li Feng was controlled, Paul Gasol passed the ball backwards to Li Feng. Li Feng hurriedly followed the ball backwards. At this time, he suddenly saw Duncan catching up from behind him, and Kelly ran to the bottom corner along the bottom line.

The situation was very complicated. At this time, Li Feng had a thought in his mind that he could not let the Spurs grab the ball. So Li Feng flew out horizontally, pointed the basketball at the tip of his fingers, and directly pointed the basketball at Kelly at the bottom line.

The basketball flew away, and Li Feng also fell horizontally in front of Leonard and Duncan, blocking both of them.

Kelly threw the basketball out again at the same place with a bit of a wretched and unstretched movement.

The three-pointer slid across an arc and fell into the Spurs' basket with a "swish" sound again.

Kelly made two consecutive three-pointers, and the Pelicans players who had been holding on the bench for a long time all jumped up with their towels. The Pelicans finally let out a breath.

Even though Li Feng was lying on the ground, he waved his fists hard. The old guys of the Spurs made Li Feng exhausted today. Now Kelly's three-pointer finally made them realize that they could not double-team at will.

Kelly, who scored the goal, came over and pulled Li Feng up. Without Li Feng's desperate battle, nor did he have three-pointers.

After Li Feng stood up, he also gave Kelly a bear hug. Without Kelly's three-pointer, Li Feng still didn't know when he would be "bullied" by the Spurs.

The Pelicans are now watching the mood of playing, and the team's atmosphere has changed a bit.

The Spurs quietly played a Danny Green's no-ball running tactic. Danny Green suddenly ran upward at the bottom line and crossed Duncan, and a moment of open space appeared.

Parker also seized the opportunity to make assists, and the basketball immediately came to Danny Green's hands, and Danny Green raised his hand to a mid-range distance.

The ball fell steadily into the Pelicans' basket. The Pelicans' offense was not as good as the Pelicans, and they shook the ground as soon as they came, and the winds were storms.

But the Spurs' offense is like their defense, and it is endless, like the spring breeze and drizzle. As long as you slacken in a little bit of laxity, they hit one, and if you are not careful, they hit another one.

The Pelicans were in a little more mood, but Danny Green seemed to be as calm as the Iceman. He immediately hit back with a two-pointer when he saw the opportunity.

Although the Pelicans suffered a blow in their overall morale, Ryan Kelly was still immersed in his fanaticism at this time.

In the Spurs' half, Li Feng had difficulty receiving the ball, and Luo Teng directly passed the basketball to Ryan Kelly.

Kelly played very proactively at this time and drove the ball through toward the Spurs' basket. When he encountered Duncan's defense, he walked around the Spurs' court for half a circle, and the Spurs had no choice but to do anything to him.

The main reason is that the Spurs are focused on Li Feng, and Ryan Kelly is like a messenger. The Spurs are completely unprepared and registered. When everyone doesn't know how to deal with it, Ryan Kelly goes around the other end of the court and gets up and throws a three-pointer.

Ryan Kelly's three-pointer is still a little sure of the open position, but his shots are still a little worse than those who are shooting.

The basketball didn't make a shot at once, but at this time the Spurs were messed up by Ryan Kelly's defense, which made Al Jefferson have a favorable position under the basket. Da Al jumped at the basket and scored two points.

After Ryan Kelly took action to disrupt the situation, the Pelicans were finally no longer unilaterally suppressed by the Spurs, and began to start a tug-of-war with the Pelicans. The Pelicans' situation improved significantly.

Now Van Gundy also saw that in addition to Li Feng and Luo Teng, other players must play to give the Spurs an unexpected surprise so that the team can withstand it.

Thinking of this, Van Gundy immediately jumped into the court and shouted at his players:

"Everyone seems to be playing like Kelly, they are more proactive. They all have to play basketball on their own initiative."

Van Gundy's roar was encouragement to Kelly, but it didn't matter to Al Jefferson and Roten. However, this statement was effective for Paul Gasol, and Paul Gasol was also inspired, after all, he also had a basket.

Kelly's part completely snatched the limelight from the whole game. When the Spurs pushed forward again, Parker also wanted to steal the limelight. He came over and suddenly attacked the Pelicans' basket during the offense and defense transition.

However, the Pelicans' outside line is not that easy. Parker broke through Roteng and was blocked by Li Feng later.

Parker forced his move, but failed. Most of the time Parker was driven by the Big Three on the court, but occasionally he would still reveal the impatient problems of young players.

Parker missed the shot, and the Pelicans immediately came over quickly. Luo Teng habitually passed the ball to Li Feng. Li Feng got the ball but immediately encountered the Spurs' double-team. At this time, Li Feng immediately found Kelly at the first point.

Kelly was a little excited now, and took the ball and changed direction and passed Leonard directly to the basket.

At the basket, Duncan saw that this guy came up again and immediately blocked a small block and swept Kelly's ball.

The basketball was blown off by Duncan and hit Al Jefferson behind him, and then it actually bounced back into Kelly's hands.

Kelly was in the Spurs crowd, and the excitement was still not over! He took the ball and directly pulled Duncan under his armpit, and a very strange method came to wipe the board. The basketball rubbed the rebound twice in a row, but in the end he was still hit.

All of a sudden, the Pelicans players jumped up, whether it was on the court or on the bench.

With Li Feng locked down, Kelly actually completely dominated the stadium, which the Spurs could never have imagined.

Amid the booing sounds in the Att Center Arena, **Vic stood up with a sad look on his face and called a timeout to the referee.

The Spurs can't let an unknown man play wild on his head like this.

At this time when the Spurs were calling for a timeout, the large screen of the Att Center Stadium immediately gave Pierce the last injury and was carried down.

At this time, Bill Walton also said:

"The Pelicans are indeed extremely tenacious now. Today, when they lost three generals, Corey, Knight and Pierce, and Li Feng was locked, there were still players who jumped out to save the team from the fire and fire."

"Yes! If there were no three-pointers from Ryan Kelly in the past two minutes, the Pelicans would have lost more than half of them."

Albert said at this time:

"Ryan Kelly is really timely raining for the Pelicans."

"For the Spurs today, Ryan Kelly's sudden jump out was an accident. But if the Pelicans want to become a better team, they need to always have players like Ryan Kelly jump out. Before, the Pelicans could not conquer the world with Li Feng alone. A good team must be a whole, and there are echoes and connections between each other. The Pelicans did not have these before. Kelly's appearance today was an accident, but it was inevitable. If the Pelicans want to win, they must play like this."

When Albert said this, the Spurs' timeout ended. The Spurs returned to the court and drove on the sideline, and then suddenly there was a tactic of no-ball for Danny Green.

At this time, the Pelicans quickly focused on killing Danny Green. When Danny Green saw that the Pelicans' defense was on his side.

When he received the ball, he did not attack by himself. Instead, he turned around and threw the basketball into Duncan's hand, who was cutting the ball towards the inside.

Duncan turned around and jumped directly against the basket, and a very rare situation happened at this time.

Duncan actually missed the shot from close range!

The Spurs actually encountered such bad luck at this time, but Danny Green's off-ball tactic was successful before.

A shooter without a ball represents not only a three-point threat, but also an offensive system.
