Chapter 1070 Master the initiative(1/2)

"Swish!"

Although Harden's three-pointer just now was good, his entertainment was far less than this one. After Corey's three-pointer, the Pelicans fans and players were no longer excited, but could not do so.

After Cory made a shot, he waved his fist violently, and he finally found the feeling of the game.

The Rockets are quite helpless when facing the Pelicans who started entertainment. You have to know that this is a key game in the playoffs!

On such a field, the Pelicans can also play such a ball, which makes the Rockets laugh and cry.

The Rockets turned around and started the positional battle very seriously. Asik and Motiyunas took turns invading the penalty area.

Asik finally got stuck here and Terry hanged the ball from outside, just as Asik was receiving the ball at the basket.

Li Feng suddenly rushed behind Asik and clicked down the basketball that Asik was about to get with one hand.

The Pelicans intercepted the ball again. After Li Feng intercepted the ball, he quickly made a crazy surprise towards the Rockets in the half.

Harden hurriedly chased from behind, Li Feng and Harden were tit-for-tat. Li Feng seized this opportunity and must be killed.

Harden can only make a tactical foul at this time and have to intercept the ball. However, just as Harden reached out, Li Feng passed the ball with a crotch, and the basketball went directly to Gasol who followed in the middle.

This example of Gasol's empty cut is a perfect example. At this time, he took three steps to catch the ball and got up and went straight toward the Rockets' basket.

"Clang!"

Gasol dunked in the middle!

At the beginning of the second half, the Pelicans played consecutive performances and continuous morale balloons. In addition, this was the Pelicans' home court, and the Pelicans' morale suddenly rose to an endless situation.

The Pelicans, who had been holding back three games, rushed out like a flood that opened the gate, and were unstoppable. No matter how hard the defending champion team like the Rockets could not stop the crazy wolves.

In the third quarter, the Pelicans widened the score difference by 20 points in one wave. The Rockets counterattacked at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the result was not ideal. The score difference did not shorten.

McHale simply gave up on this game. The Pelicans finally defended their honor at home and turned the score into 3-2, 3-2. If the Pelicans finally saw some hope.

After the game, when the Rockets were interviewed, the refrigerator used absolutely unexpected ways to describe the game.

The Pelicans played in this game, indeed unexpected. When everyone felt that the Pelicans were not united, the Pelicans played very united. When others thought that the Pelicans’ players were not capable, the Pelicans’ players all played in places they were not good at. Today, the Pelicans always found a breakthrough in impossible places.

The Rockets can't deal with such a team!

After winning such a game, and winning such a game beautifully, the Pelicans' morale that had lost before suddenly came back.

The Pelicans' previous consecutive losses were a big deal because of the lack of confidence after the third game. Now the Pelicans' confidence has been found.

Under the victory, all the Pelicans' problems were solved, the team's unity, the issue of confidence, fighting spirit, and after a hearty victory, everything came back.

Even Li Feng’s remarks before the game are considered a psychological tactic.

This is the so-called winning effect. If you win a game, you will lose all the adverse factors. If you lose a game, you will immediately surface.

The Pelicans won such a game and had the confidence to fight the Rockets in the next game. At that time, the outcome of the last game is unknown.

The Pelicans beat the Rockets at home, and the two teams scored 2-3. The Pelicans' chance finally came back.

At this time, both teams were preparing for the sixth game with all their might. This kind of preparation before the battle can be said to be meticulous, but it can also be said to be relaxed.

Some role players are naturally improving their technical details, but Li Feng is mainly calm at this time.

Although the Pelicans won a game in this situation, they still cannot make any mistakes, and they cannot make any mistakes.

Because the Pelicans were eliminated with one mistake, the Pelicans still had to fight to the death in the next game. Like the Pelicans, they must also fight because they definitely don't want to see the Pelicans play the seventh game with them.

At this time, the media's direction also turned slightly. Almost all media previously thought that the Pelicans were finished, but after such a battle, the Pelicans' approval rating increased to 30%. This value is still not high, but it has been a great improvement compared to before.

Of course, the situation is different in China. The Pelicans have just won one game.

Domestic media use the Pelicans to find the magic weapon to win. The Pelicans have found ways to restrain the opponent as the title, saying that the Pelicans will win the whole world if they win this game.

Of course, both the Pelicans and the Rockets themselves are awake.

The current situation is very obvious, and the strength of the two teams is similar. However, the Rockets won the adjustment before, and the morale was won three consecutive games, but the Pelicans won the morale in the last game. At this time, if the Pelicans continued to do this, the Rockets would be very dangerous.

When the strength of the two teams is similar, morale and psychological state determine the victory or defeat of the two teams.

Whether it is competitive sports, a company, or a country, as long as it requires multiple people to cooperate, the morale side is unstoppable, and the morale side can do nothing.

In the fifth battle, Li Feng used extreme remarks, performances of the game, and grasping the general trend, and finally reversed his morale.

The Rockets' goal in the next game is to turn morale around, while the Pelicans' goal is to keep their might and win another game in one go.

This is a morale battle!

The next day, at the New Orleans Center, the sixth game between the Pelicans and the Rockets finally began.

The deeper the playoffs, the more popular they are, the more attention they receive. Now that it is Game 6, the entire basketball world is looking at.

Because the competition is very hot, the media that broadcasts today's competitions in all aspects. There are several sports stations in the United States, and there are also ccavs in China, local TV stations, and live broadcasts on the Internet.

There are many broadcasters, and Tnt's commentator said at this time:

"Today's game was a game after the Pelicans broke out."

"The key to this game depends on the Pelicans' body. If the Pelicans can continue the previous game, the Rockets are not only very dangerous today, but also very dangerous in the next game, because once a team like the Pelicans gains power, it will not be stopped."

Chris Webber finished saying this, and Mark Jackson said:

"Indeed, it seems that teams like the Pelicans have rarely reached the final this year, and the situation is not good when entering the finals. However, compared with previous fast teams, the Pelicans have a much better height and defense. In this way, if they are given a chance to play speed and morale, the Rockets have to guard against their three-pointers. The Pelicans' three-pointers are very efficient, but no game has performed well except the first game in the playoffs. Now that it has been so long, the Rockets need to guard against this mine!"

Yang Yi, a commentator from the domestic ccav, opened his voice and said:

"Today's game is a battle to pursue victory for the Pelicans. In the last game, the Pelicans gained an advantage. If the Pelicans can play smoothly today, the Pelicans will also have an absolute advantage in the next game. If the Pelicans play hard today, even if the Pelicans win, the morale will be gone in the next game. Of course, if they lose, there will be nothing."

Although there are some differences in the statements of local stations on the Internet, they are roughly the same. Today's game is a morale battle.

At this time, the arrangement of the two teams also came out, and the Rockets' main lineup remained unchanged. Point guard Terry, shooting guard Harden, small forward Ariza, power forward Asik, and center Motiyunas.

The Rockets remain unchanged, but now the Pelicans have changed again. The Pelicans opened fire at the beginning of the game today. Van Gundy used a small lineup.

Point guard Corey, shooting guard Granger, small forward Li Feng, power forward Thornton, center Al Jefferson.

The Pelicans changed to a more aggressive lineup. The fool of this lineup knew what the Pelicans were going to do at a glance. The Pelicans wanted to play pick-and-roll to break through and pass the ball. In the playoff field, the Pelicans used almost the simplest tactical cooperation to deal with it.

When the Pelicans line up this lineup, the whole world was filled with exclamations.

Yang Yi was immediately excited and said repeatedly:

"Okay, okay, okay! The Pelicans lineup, no matter what happens in the future, will definitely take advantage of the game."

"Because the Rockets' lineup is very large and very heavy, their mobility is not strong. The Pelicans line up a lineup with strong mobility will definitely be easy to play and score well at the start. This is still at home. As long as the Pelicans can score smoothly, the momentum will not be weak!"

Mark Jackson also praised Van Gundy's transformation here:

"Van Gundy's psychological adjustment is far inferior to McHale, but Van Gundy's courage to adjust tactically and use human courage is admirable. In a field like the playoffs, it is very difficult to have the courage to change the formation!"

When the refrigerator looked at the lineup, he felt unhappy. His team knew that the Pelicans were forcing themselves to give up their advantages.

At the beginning of the game, Al Jefferson was not tall enough, so he definitely couldn't compete for the ball, and the Rockets got the ball.

The Rockets now have a height advantage when they get the ball. When they get the ball, the Rockets are steadily trying to play in their hearts. However, at this time, the Pelicans have no height advantage and their mobility advantage. The Pelicans are all players who desperately go around and prevent the opponent from getting the ball.

The advantage of going around is that the opponent can't get the ball completely, and the disadvantage is that you will die if you get the ball. This is also a kind of gambling defense. Now that the Pelicans play like this, it is because they really have no way out and can only fight and bet.

The Rockets and Pelicans have been researched in this game, and they used the cover to let Asik come out to get the ball from a high position.

Asik's movement range is wide, and this move is very useful. Asik really got the basketball after running out.

Asik, who was holding the ball, raised his hand and shook it, and Thornton pressed it tightly. He immediately showed off his cutting skills and dribbled up and attacked the basket in one step.

Li Feng was right next to Asik. He was so tall that he dribbled the ball. Li Feng made a steal and cut off Asik's ball.

Li Feng stole the attack at once, and the New Orleans Center immediately cheered, "Boom boom boom!" The audience cheered.

Yang Yi also shouted immediately:

"Okay! Li Feng has a steal and the Pelicans get off to a good start! As long as the Pelicans can play at the start, they will win half of it."

Amid the cheers of the audience, Li Feng took the ball but was alert to find that Ariza came up and wanted to foul his tactical behavior.

This is also a way to interrupt the opponent's morale. At this time, Li Feng did not want the opponent to interrupt the team's morale. Seeing that Ariza was coming, he turned around and passed the ball to Granger, who was generally unnoticed.

Of course, Granger knew that he was going to advance at this time. He dribbled the ball quickly and reached the Rockets' three-point line in two steps. While he was hesitating how to play.

Just saw Li Feng running backwards on the sideline, and then suddenly cut into the basket and the Granger Psychology God would immediately throw it over with an air relay.

Li Feng received the ball in the air and dunked with both hands.

"Clang!"

The Pelicans started the first leg, stealing and then dunking through the alley, and the New Orleans Center immediately became emotional.

Chris Webber also said:

"Li Feng's steal is crucial! It determines the direction of the start"

The Rockets made a lot of preparations today, but there was a mistake in the first round and they still played a ball of aura for the Rockets, which was a huge failure for the Rockets.

The refrigerator was also standing on the sidelines at this time, crossing his hands, pondering without saying a word.

When the Rockets face such a Pelican, they are also very eager to bring back their morale. As soon as Harden comes, he immediately asks for the ball to be prepared to play by himself.

But just when Harden got the ball, the Pelicans borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, using the strategies they often used to defend Li Feng.

Two players suddenly snatched out to defend Harden. Harden took the ball and pulled it to the side. The two Pelicans players pushed Harden to the sideline.
