Chapter 1132 Preparations for Sweeping
The Nets are under such great pressure now, and every player is worried. Lopez is sitting there and staring at the stadium with his eyes blankly. Lopez can imagine that if he had not committed 4 fouls, he would have to be on the stadium now and he still has the physical strength, but now he can only sit off the court and watch his teammates play. What a sad scene.
The Nets are standing on the edge of the cliff and struggling to death, but the Pelicans are not easy to mess with. The Pelicans are going to kill them at this time, trying to kill the Nets during this period. Then today's game ends, or the finals end.
Now that the Nets are struggling to the death, the Pelicans are going to fight to the death with the Nets. Both sides use huge combat power as soon as they come up, and there is a very fierce physical conflict between the two sides. Li Feng's faces Jack here, which is a great physical advantage.
But Jack kept coming up to harass Li Feng. Although Jack was just an ordinary player, he was absolutely challenging. Although he was intercepted by Li Feng, Jack still refused to give up and rushed to Li Feng.
Li Feng took the ball and stared at Jack and walked towards the Nets' position. Pelicans fans in the Center of New Orleans began to shout Li Feng's name outside the court:
"Li Feng, Li Feng, Li Feng!"
This sound is endless, and Li Feng dribbling slowly moves forward with the shouts of the entire New Orleans Center, but the shouting outside the court is indeed getting higher and higher, which adds more pressure to the Nets in the original battle against the water.
The New Orleans Center was cheering, Li Feng was dribbling slowly, fighting the Nets with his back, and cold sweat flowed down Hollins' temples, but at this time he saw Van Gundy standing up from the sideline and making a gesture in his hand.
Seeing this gesture, the Pelicans players immediately dispersed, which was a very obvious gesture and signal.
The Pelicans want to play singles, and Li Feng wants to play singles. This formation has appeared. The New Orleans Center was originally shouting Li Feng's name, but now it has become a series of cheers, as if it were an explosion and roaring in the New Orleans Center.
Bill Walton screamed in disbelief:
"At this time Van Gundy asked Li Feng to play singles. Could it be that he is ready to sweep the Nets?"
Albert couldn't stop marveling:
"It's Li Feng's singles, it's Li Feng's singles."
The formation had been opened. Li Feng was focused at this time and saw that there was space in front of him. He immediately rushed to the left and right and left to kill him in disguise. Li Feng poked the net's basket directly into the slanting thrust.
Jack, who defended Li Feng, followed closely behind him. Hollins chose Jack to defend Li Feng, but he was still very sensible. This guy didn't look very good, but he would never be afraid of Li Feng's scoring aura, so he chased Li Feng and came over.
Moreover, Mason Plumley was ready to block Li Feng in front. Li Feng was pursuing troops behind him. At this time, Li Feng screamed strangely. He might not have no chance to rush Plumley, but Li Feng did not do so. Instead, when he approached the three-second zone, he suddenly slowed down. In this way, Jack, who was following Li Feng, came to Li Feng in front. Li Feng watched Jack reach his front and suddenly leaned on Jack. He rushed forward with a layup.
Li Feng's layup looks like no ornamental, but it makes Jack say something bitterly. Li Feng didn't jump much, just came up against Jack. However, Li Feng's height is taller than Jack's god and his arms are longer than him. He is playing with Jack when he puts a layup like this. He has no choice at all.
Plumley, who was inside, was also angry because he couldn't rush out when he stood inside and couldn't reach it when he jumped up. He could only watch Li Feng bully Jack, then raised his basketball and flew over Jack and himself on his head, falling into the basket.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
After Li Feng's singles scored 10%, the cheers from the New Orleans Center became even more intense.
At this time, Hollins frowned and began to pray, hoping that his team would withstand it would be better to narrow the score, but Bill Walton began to be stunned after seeing Li Feng's goal.
"Li Feng's offense is not as beautiful as we thought, but after all, he scored a goal, and he made good use of his body very reasonably. In this way, the Nets will be in trouble."
People who play too hard are easily injured, and generally there is no good result. Rainman Kemp is tough enough, and eventually becomes a floor person. People who are too hard are easily injured, and it is not easy to heal. Generally speaking, when you look at playing basketball, the guys who play mother-in-law are not very easy to be injured. Although they can't cause any damage to others, they are not injured. Li Feng is actually more difficult to deal with when he hits Jack like this.
Now the Nets' three outside scorers, Anthony, Joe Johnson, and Bogdanovic, all know in their hearts that they must win this game, especially now that they must bite the opponent during this period, and it is best to bite the opponent to death.
After the Pelicans' half, these people fought to the death and ran very actively. Anthony even inspired his fighting spirit of being the best in the world and rushed up with a basketball. At this time, although Joe Johnson couldn't stand Anthony's style of being the best in the world, he still came up to provide a cover for Anthony.
Anthony used this cover to stab the Pelicans from the right side. Anthony rushed up like a sharp sword, and Bogdanovic also came up to block the second defender for Anthony.
After two consecutive screens, Anthony killed near the Pelicans' three-second zone. Li Feng, who had returned from defending, hurriedly stood in front of Anthony and chased Anthony to defend.
Anthony has now arrived near the basket, and it is impossible not to let him take action. He jumped up and raised the basketball with his hands high, and was about to shoot. Li Feng could not get him to do what he wanted, so he flew up and covered Anthony's body.
Li Feng flew high enough, but he didn't expect that Anthony's move would be a high throw eraser. He could not stop him in terms of height and angle. The angle of the eraser ball is different from the usual ball. In addition, it was a high throw, and Li Feng did not touch the ball after taking such a snatch.
At this time, the basketball rubbed the rebound and entered the frame. Then Anthony lost his balance and fell to the ground. After scoring the goal, the Nets players immediately felt a long breath.
Anthony inserted it at high speed. Then he faced Li Feng, who was one piece taller than him, leaned back and threw high and wiped the board. Needless to say, the difficulty was that the difficulty was all scored. The Nets players felt that the burden they carried was reduced a lot, so that the earth could enter, so why can't we bite the Pelicans to death?
Li Feng shook his head helplessly, then dribbled the ball towards the Nets. That Jack was really a donkey land. No matter how he hit him, he would not give way to Li Feng and just stood in front.
When Li Feng saw that the fight was fast, he couldn't get up any longer, so he just slowed down and leaned against Jack with his butt, and then walked towards the Nets' position.
Li Feng gestured to his teammates, and then the Pelicans immediately stood at the bottom and made double covers at the bottom line. Then Li Feng came up to meet at the high position. It was seen that Granger ran quickly along the bottom line and made a big round. He covered the double cover at the bottom line, threw away the defender, and got Li Feng's pass from the top. Then he used Li Feng's cover to penetrate the free throw line in the middle.
The Pelicans' tactics and running positions are not difficult, not complicated, but they are rarely accurate. This is the embodiment of the Pelicans' tactical execution ability. At a time, they can really play out the tactics. This is not an easy thing. There are not many tactics that have been made in advance before the game that can be really implemented.
Granger was empty when he got here. Anthony, who was rushing toward him, did not pose a threat to Granger at all. He could only watch Granger simply make a shot into this mid-range shot.
The Nets played desperately, and Anthony and Joe Johnson in the lineup used all their abilities. Many of the balls were exciting, but the Pelicans were still desperate, and they performed their tactics coldly and sent the basketball to the basket again and again.
At the most critical moment of the Nets, the Pelicans were like cold and bloodless executioners, ignoring nothing but scoring planned. Then defending, the Nets and the Pelicans played like this, making Hollins feel turbulent, and Nets fans were also nervous in front of the TV.
Joe Johnson dribbled from one side, stared at Granger's defense, almost lost the basketball game in one step, and then slapped back and stared at Granger's continued dribbling. At this time, Granger was constantly entangled with Joe Johnson's body. Joe Johnson finally could only barely lean back at the high position. Although the basketball was gone, Joe Johnson's play was really difficult.
Returning, Al Jefferson ran under the basket, and after receiving the ball, he easily turned around and jumped.
With these two points, the Pelicans and the Nets were in a stalemate. At this time, Hollins finally couldn't bear it anymore. The Pelicans could be in a stalemate and could support the game, but Hollins could not delay it. He now must find a way to find a way to shorten the score difference with the Pelicans, otherwise, the fourth quarter game would be empty.
Hollins summoned all his players back when these people sat on the side of the court.
Hollins said to them in an anxious and eager tone:
"Guys, we are playing the third finals with the Pelicans at the New Orleans Center. We have lost to them twice in a row before that. This time we can't fail anyway. If it fails, I believe you know what the result is."
When Hollins spoke, the Nets players were silent. They all knew what the consequences were, that is, the end of the season, and they would lose the qualification to continue the game.
"Now we have no way out. Gentlemen, we have no way out. I have seen you doing very well on the court. I have seen, but it's not enough. I have seen the Pelicans keep scoring, they are still scoring, so we have no chance at all. We need a solid defense."
Hollins began to focus on the defensive ground, and his players also held their breath and listened to Hollins' words. It was a critical moment.
After the timeout, Li Feng and his Pelicans also returned to the court.
Bill Walton said nervously:
"Guess what Hollins said, I didn't see him substitutions, so I don't know what he can do. Now if I were Hollins, I can only pray that the Pelicans' hit rate is wrong. Apart from this, I really don't know what else can stop the Pelicans."
"That's not necessarily the case. The defense the Nets need now is to strengthen the defense, not the offense. They have done a good job in offense." Albert's idea began to coincide with Hollins.
The two teams re-played, and the Nets had the right to the ball, but Jack was not the absolute point guard at this time. Instead, after he was under pressure from Li Feng in two steps of dribbling, he quickly handed the basketball over to Anthony or Joe Johnson, and the two of them shared the tasks of ball control and organization.
It would be better if the ball fell into Joe Johnson's hands, but if Anthony knew what organization was, he would not have appeared in Brooklyn. However, it is obvious that the Nets are looking for not organizing, but a kind of force that either completely defeats the Pelicans with a more fierce attack from the outside, or uses a tougher defense to make the Pelicans have no chance to attack.
After Anthony got the basketball, he immediately pulled it back and forth twice. This was his habitual action. After not seeing the chance of it, Anthony stuffed the basketball into Bogdanovic's hands.
At this time, Bogdanovic was at the bottom line, and Al Jefferson was half a step away from Bogdanovic to defend. This distance was very suitable for Al Jefferson. He could not only defend Bogdanovic's shooting, but also not afraid of Bogdanovic's breakthrough. As for Plumley behind him, Al Jefferson believed that Henson could take good care of Plumley for the time being.
Bogdanovic knew that this was the most critical moment for the Nets. Although Bogdanovic was just a versatile worker of the team at this time, as a sports fortune, pursuing victory is his talent and seeking victory. At critical moments, an athlete's victory in his heart often exceeds all desires.
