Chapter 1056 Corey returns to grass Harden(1/2)
But Granger passed the basketball to Li Feng who came here. Li Feng had already reached the three-point line when he received the ball. At this position, Li Feng got up and shot from a long three-pointer.↖
"Swish!"
What made all the Grizzlies collapse was that Li Feng scored this three-pointer again.
The Pelicans' madness is still there, and the madness scares the Grizzlies, making people feel that the Pelicans are not accurate.
The Grizzlies are good enough. The team plays very well, with close offense cooperation, and the team and defense end together in defense.
But the problem is that the Pelicans are powerful beyond common sense, and they are simply unreasonable and crazy. The whole team entered the rhythm of scoring three points.
Knight, Granger, Li Feng, Thornton, and four players threw three-pointers together, which was a blow that the Grizzlies could not bear. The Pelicans hit the three-pointers.
The Grizzlies finally defeated. The Pelicans scored a high score in the third quarter, which made the Grizzlies dizzy after the score was widened. Although the Grizzlies worked hard to recover the score in the fourth quarter, once the score gap was widened, it would be difficult to recover it again.
Although the Grizzlies were chasing desperately, the Pelicans' offense and defense were first-class. At the end of the game, the Grizzlies still had 6 points but failed to catch up.
The Pelicans defeated the Grizzlies at home 125-109. Although the Grizzlies also scored a high score in today's game, they are still much different from the Pelicans.
The final result of the game was that the Pelicans won, and it was a hearty big victory, which immediately made the media and ball judges who supported the Pelicans straighten their backs.
Many commentators immediately posted:
"Our tactics are completely successful, and the ability of a championship-level team cannot resist our tactical performance, which is enough to prove that our new tactics in the new season are completely successful."
The Pelicans fans saw that the team even won the Grizzlies, and they were even more passionate and felt that we could even win the Grizzlies, so no team could stop us this season.
The Pelicans fans were completely forgot about it, but the Grizzlies who lost the ball at this time were indignant.
Randolph said sourly:
"The Pelicans' shooting percentage today is too high, exceeding 50% of the three-point shooting percentage. This is not normal! We lost a bit unfairly."
Dave Joggel also refused to give in:
"The Pelicans cannot maintain such a high shooting percentage every game. We are not lucky. The intensity of the playoffs will not be like this!"
The Grizzlies obviously lost the ball and didn't want to admit it. They thought the Pelicans were lucky, so they had a high shooting percentage, so they could win.
The Grizzlies' view that they refuse to admit defeat and think that the Pelicans are lucky is actually a lot of commentators who think so.
Because the Pelicans made a three-pointer shot too fiercely in this game, it was extremely fierce and extremely violent, and ordinary teams could not stop it. It was also rare for the group to have a super accurate three-pointer. In this case, it is generally believed that the Pelicans were accidental.
The game ended. The regular season also ended. The Pelicans ranked first in the league with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses. The competition this season is fierce, so there are only three teams above 60 wins, the Nets ranked first in the East 61 wins and 21 losses, and the Spurs ranked second in the West 60 wins and 22 losses.
The eighth place in the West is the Houston Rockets.
Therefore, the Pelicans' first round opponent is the Rockets.
Facing the Rockets again, Li Feng also accepted an interview about this matter as soon as possible. When the reporter asked Li Feng what the Rockets were feeling soon, Li Feng's answer was very simple:
“Long-awaited!”
Li Feng is indeed looking forward to such a series. If the Pelicans want to defend their title and achieve their dominance, they must step over the Rockets.
Since Li Feng joined the Western Conference, he was destined to have a grudge against the Rockets. Li Feng has long wanted to touch the Rockets in the playoffs.
After learning the news, former Rockets head coach Van Gundy also said: "The Rockets' best team, I think we are the best team too! So I look forward to playing against them.
This is definitely a fierce battle against the Rockets. But at this time, the Pelicans players did not retreat, and they were all ready to face the battle.
On the Rockets, when asked this question, Harden also said: "If you play against the Pelicans, I think I will be relaxed! The Spurs are so tangled, but fortunately they deliberately let the West out first place!"
McHale said in his answer to reporters:
"The Pelicans are a good team! But they are still very young! Young people make a lot of mistakes, and we will take advantage of those mistakes."
The Rockets are so arrogant. It also makes the Pelicans very unhappy. Li Feng quickly hits back at Harden:
"I'll make them extremely relaxed! The easiest way to go home and fish."
As a result, Harden was also unforgivable, and the two began a war of words from a distance.
This battle of words also caused quite a stir in China, because Harden is a star with many domestic fans because of the Rockets and the Knicks before. Li Feng is the hottest player in China.
These two people have the most fans in China. When they met each other at this time, countless online debates broke out.
In this debate, Harden's fans were completely defeated!
Because only those who often watch football, Harden's iron team supports Harden. However, people who don't watch football at all, or those who have only a few understandings, support Li Feng. The reason is very simple, Li Feng is Chinese.
If you don’t watch the ball and know a little bit, there will definitely be more people who are hardcore than those who are hardcore. It is the first time that Harden has lost to other players in China.
Of course, Harden doesn't care about these situations in China. He is at the center of the world and focuses on the American affairs.
The Pelicans and Rockets are about to stage the Western Conference Finals, and media from all walks of life are also coming to comment on the game.
Most of the superstar commentators at TNT think that the Rockets are stronger. Many of them have played with the Rockets and have witnessed the strength of the Rockets over the years, so they are deeply rooted in their thoughts that the Rockets are stronger.
Only Reggie Miller firmly believes that the Pelicans are a strong team that can be compared with the Rockets!
Harden has good data this season, second only to Li Feng, Paul, James, Durant when competing for MVP. With such a player in the team, the Rockets are even more powerful. The team that is the most prosperous and the league's number one superstar is shocking.
The media has catalyzed this battle, and fans are looking forward to it, and the two teams are also sharpening their knives. Under such circumstances, this series is simply eye-catching.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the Rockets came to the Center of New Orleans and the game was about to begin.
An hour before the game started, the fans almost filled the stadium. It can be seen that the fans' expectations for the game.
After you, Director Zhang and Yu Family also sat in the broadcast room early, and at this time the Yu Family said:
"Friends of the audience! This is the first game of the Western Conference playoffs, with the Pelicans vs. Rockets, and Li Feng vs. Harden!"
"Hahaha"
After hearing what the Yu family said, Director Zhang laughed:
"The topic of which is better, Li Feng or Harden, is stronger! Recently, it has been a fierce argument, and there are quarrels in newspapers, the Internet, and even on TV."
"But this topic is really hard to say! Both of them are very strong. Now they are no longer comparing their purely personal abilities, but they are comparing the overall lineup, overall tactics, and the team's equipment and the degree of fit between the two stars."
"This is a series of things, definitely not a single person's business. If they lose in this series, they can't say that this person can't do it."
Director Zhang first talks about this matter. As we all know, Director Zhang is a fan of Harden who attaches great importance to and a staunch supporter of Li Feng. It is also very difficult for him to choose between these two people.
"Yes! Both of them are very good! They are both first-class players, and Li Feng is the best player in our country who has played the best record. At this time, Director Zhang, take a look! What are the basic characteristics of Li Feng and Harden?"
Since we cannot talk about strengths and weaknesses, we can only talk about characteristics. Director Zhang also said cautiously at this time:
"We all know Harden's characteristics very well! His nickname is Big Beard. Big Beard was originally the nickname of Barron Davis, but this nickname is very appropriate to Harden. Harden is the kind of scorer who can score with all means, which is very fatal and fatal. Harden is essentially an all-round scorer!"
"Where is Li Feng! His characteristic is that he is very tricky and can efficiently play low posts. Sometimes he doesn't seem to be fast. But once he decides to make a breakthrough, he is as unstoppable as lightning! His shooting is even more accurate, and his passing field is particularly wide, and he can often see positions that others cannot see."
"Li Feng and Harden have more responsibility for the organization, poor shooting stability in offense, and prefer steals when defending!"
"Harden is a scorer who does everything well. Li Feng is just tricky. There are a few things he does very extraordinary, but sometimes it seems very ordinary!"
Li Feng exploded by his ability, so he naturally seemed a bit unbalanced and tricky, while Harden was completely born, so this is the gap.
While Director Zhang and Yu's family were having a crazy chat, TNT also sent a luxurious lineup to explain today's game.
Barkley, Webber, Kenny Smith, and Reggie Miller sat together to comment on the game.
Usually, there are two people who comment on the competition, and three people sometimes, but today TNT got 4 people. This is a bit lively. When the four people talk, they feel like they are crosstalk in groups, and there is not enough microphones.
Barkley said first:
"Fans watching the game, we have four people explaining today! It's totally out of balance."
Barkley was only halfway through the conversation, and Reggie Miller said:
"Because Weber and I support the Pelicans, and Barkley and Kenny Smith support the Rockets. So we have to be four!"
"Weber suffered the Rockets' losses. I can understand that he firmly supported the Pelicans! But why do you like the Pelicans so much?"
Kenny Smith questioned Reggie Miller in confusion. Reggie Miller shook his shoulders and said:
"Because the Pelicans are very powerful, they are very young, they are the second youngest team in the league, and in this case, I feel that I have to support the Pelicans."
"Just because of this, but Thunder is also very young and talented, why don't you support them?"
Barkley continued to question Reggie Miller while dissatisfied. Miller smiled and said:
"Because they have no hope of entering the finals, but I believe they will always come one day!"
Just the commentators of TNT, they had to quarrel when they met. Now that the four of them met, they immediately saw that the four of them were talking about like a group crosstalk, but these guys all said it very interesting.
You can tell a lot of interesting details when you are a player. These details cannot be known without a player's explanation. Through these details, you can also restore the basic state of these NBA players.
So, fans like to listen to these people’s words, and fans’ curiosity mentality wants to know what the state of being a player is.
At this time, the starting lineup of the two teams has come out. The Pelicans are still point guard Corey, shooting guard Roten, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Paul Gasol.
The Rockets' starting lineup is point guard Jason Terry, shooting guard Harden, small forward Ariza, power forward Asik, and center Mortyunas.
From the lineup, the two teams have a certain similarity. They are both a point guard who can organize a point guard who likes to shoot cold arrows, a strong outside scorer, a perfect outside role, a power forward with comprehensive abilities, and a strong and tall center forward.
From this point of view, the two teams comply with the rules of the playoffs, and all the matchups of the two teams are in line.
What kind of player do you have, I have a similar type. The lineups of the two teams are very similar.
This kind of game with high lineup similarity is either a team that can be killed by the other side immediately. Or a game that is stalemate is very powerful.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a stalemate between the two teams is extremely high. After the lineup of the two teams was reported.
