Chapter 678: The Grizzly Bear Who Lost His Soul(1/2)
The Pelicans were able to defeat the Pacers in the absence of Millsap, and in the back-to-back game against the Timberwolves the next day, Millsap returned, and the Pelicans did not make any waves. Kevin Love scored a large double-double with 34 points and 18 rebounds, while the Minnesota Timberwolves won 42 points and 74-116 by the Pelicans.
In this game, Li Feng scored only 14 points, but he still had 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 8 blocks, and 7 steals, with a 5*7 performance. This is the third time that Li Feng has obtained this miracle data.
Li Feng was a complete hit by Kevin Love in both individual and team, and experts also criticized Love. He relied on the Timberwolves system to squeeze out teammates' data and get the ultimate data to get the annual salary and status today. Now Love is thinking about how to leave the Timberwolves.
In fact, Love left the Timberwolves. Whether he went to a team with James' ball grab or a team with Griffin's inside, his data would drop sharply, because his data was built on the Timberwolves' special system and a deformed system that sacrificed the team to enhance personal glory. People would find that Love had a lot of rebounds, but the Timberwolves had very few overall rebounds, because Love snatched the normal rebounds of his teammates, such as those point guards who picked up bargains.
Of course, many teams are imitating the Timberwolves' system because this can quickly become a star. The data on the surface are very good, but in fact, many of the data are false, and only the icing on the cake, such as Harden, this season's Lance Stephenson and rookie "God Emperor" McAve.
In order to defeat the Timberwolves, the Pelicans tried their best to win every game in December. Because the team has been running-in for a month, it is undoubtedly a sure thing to defeat the Pacers.
At this time, the Pelicans challenged the Memphis Grizzlies, who are also in the Southwest Division away.
The game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans started on time at 7 o'clock that night.
The attention of this game is also very high, with two points of attention. One is that Li Feng returns to Memphis, and the other is that the Pelicans continue to win consecutive victories and end their ups and downs.
The TV station that broadcasts the game is TNT, and Memphis local TV stations.
Shaq O'Neal, who was broadcast live before the game, and the Grizzlies' former player Sharif Abdul Rahim, said on the scene.
"Raheim! The Pelicans are coming in full force today. What do you think of the Pelicans' winning streak now?"
Sharif Abdul Rahim also stayed in the Grizzlies team. When he heard Smith's question, Rahim immediately said:
"The Pelicans' situation now is that Li Feng's joining the team has brought obvious chemical changes to the team. This chemical change is magical. When some players meet some players, they can play very exciting games. This is a gift from God!"
When Rahim said this, O'Neal immediately laughed. He said:
"Raheim, do you think of your teammates who were in the Grizzlies back then?"
"That was nature, that was my best time back then!"
Rahim was obviously a little moved when he said this, and O'Neal could understand this mood.
At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams entered the court. The Pelicans' starting lineup was point guard Ross, shooting guard Li Feng, small forward Arenas, power forward was Paul Millsap, and center Al Jefferson.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup is point guard Mike Conley, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Texiaan Prince, power forward Zach Randolph, and center Mark Gasol.
Li Feng is quite familiar with these two lineups. When the DJ on the scene read Li Feng's name.
The FedEx Stadium also gave Li Feng a lot of shouting, and amid the shouting Li Feng walked into the stadium.
Al Jefferson and Gasol Jr. started competing for the ball, and when they came up, Al Jefferson directly pointed it into Ross' hands. Ross and Mike Conley are completely two types of point guards.
Mike Conley is light and convenient, like a ranger, while Rose is strong and has a hobby of fighting, and is completely a heavy infantryman.
The two of them are completely different types of point guards. Ross himself is a very tough guy. When he sees that others are not as good as him, he must go up and bully him.
Now when he saw Mike Conley standing in front of him, Ross immediately went up and forced a back to beat him. Now when he came up, Ross still wanted to eat himself. Mike Conley suddenly became cruel. I couldn't beat you from above, and I would just stumble down from below.
Mike Conley was also unlucky. As soon as he stretched his foot down, the referee saw it. As soon as the game started, the referee gave Mike Conley a foul.
Suddenly, Mike Conley could only sigh in secret that he was unlucky and let the Pelicans kick off the sideline again.
Millsap, the Pelicans, re-opened the ball and passed it directly to Li Feng's hand. Li Feng took the ball and looked around the court.
At this time, Li Feng knew that he wanted to use his strength to hit Prince, but Li Feng didn't want to use this method. Li Feng reached out and asked for a cover at Al Jefferson, and Al Jefferson ran out from the inside.
Li Feng suddenly took a step forward and accelerated directly. Li Feng's movement speed was obviously beat faster than others. Prince was almost blocked by Al Jefferson, and then he could not see Li Feng.
Marc Gasol even took a step forward and was completely passed by Li Feng. He lived a clean life, and Gasol's defense was useless in front of Li Feng.
Li Feng flew directly to the Grizzlies' basket. There was no one under the basket. Li Feng could have dunked.
But Li Feng did not do this, but made a very elegant layup in the air, glided, and then gently placed the basketball into the Grizzlies' basket.
Li Feng passed the Grizzlies' inside and outside line easily at the beginning. At this time, Memphis' home court FedEx Arena was not booing, but praise from the whole field.
Grizzlies fans still have feelings for Li Feng. Although they can't cheer, they can be amazed.
Abdul Rahim also said at this time:
"Li Feng's speed was really flashy, and he reminded me of Kassel."
"Yes! That old guy was indeed very fast when he was young. But now he is completely out of the way. Last time I played with him, he all played with me in his back-to-body style."
After O'Neal said this, Raheem also laughed. Kassel played O'Neal alone with his back, and he wanted to laugh if he thought about it.
Rahim himself is old now, and he understands the role of time, so he smiles very comfortably.
Li Feng attacked the basket directly when he came up, and the Grizzlies came over. Because Prince was so familiar with Li Feng that he could not be familiar with him, Prince immediately threw away his arms and ran away wildly. He knew that Li Feng was so amazing that he looked at other aspects.
Li Feng and Prince are acquaintances. So he is also very excited to chase Prince. This kind of game between acquaintances will be more interesting than between strangers.
Because they know each other so well, they can often come up with some strange tricks.
The same is true when Prince faces Li Feng. Prince took Li Feng for a long time. Seeing that Li Feng was about to catch up, Prince suddenly played a step back with a dribble behind the ball. He suddenly dodged Li Feng away and then Prince fired and shot a three-pointer.
Prince played with an acquaintance today. He was in a relaxed mood and felt good. He hit the basketball as soon as he made a move.
Prince scored a goal with this uncommonly difficult move, and Memphis fans immediately exclaimed and cheered again.
At the beginning of today's game, it gave people the same feeling as the All-Star, and everyone was playing with the most beautiful movements.
This is the effect of playing ball between acquaintances. If you are too ruthless, you can't take any action. On the offense, you can use some strange tricks to perform.
Li Feng is reluctant to use his body to hit his teammates, but other Pelicans players are different.
Li Feng came to play against the old boss with nostalgia. But what the Pelicans players want more is winning streaks.
So the other Pelicans players were very motivated. When they reached the Grizzlies' half again, they immediately attacked the Grizzlies and other players.
Arenas forced to break through Tony Allen when he came up. Tony Allen's physical fitness is considered mid-range in the league, and his physical fitness is not bad. However, although Arenas is old, his speed and strength are first-class in the league, so Arenas almost immediately passed Tony Allen.
At this time, if the Grizzlies have good assisting defense, Arenas cannot break through. If the Grizzlies have high-quality inside players, Arenas, they dare not play too resolutely. If the Grizzlies are as powerful as rainbows, they will also have a guess.
But now the Grizzlies have changed their coach and people are in a turmoil.
Arenas immediately became confident and came over to the windmill dunk.
"Bang!"
With a sound, Li Feng was embarrassed to torture his former teammate, but Arenas had no psychological burden.
Such a ball suddenly exposed the Grizzlies' old foundation. You have no defense and you can't win at all.
Defense is a foundation of the game, and offense is a building on the basis of the game. If you don’t have a foundation at all, what are you going to lay on!
So when Rahim saw the Grizzlies' defense, he immediately said in the commentary seat:
"The Grizzlies' defense is not good at all! How can the team let the opponent play like this? This is the team has not made targeted defensive strategies at all. How come they change the head coach like a group of players when they replace them!"
Rahim came up to complain that the Grizzlies' defense was not strong. Now the entire Grizzlies' team is in a mess. The new head coach's position is unstable, and the players are at risk of being sold. Do you think such a team is in a mess and can they still play a good defense?
As the selected rookie of the Grizzlies, Li Feng saw that the team he had fought had now become so decadent.
Li Feng is also very uncomfortable, and it must be very uncomfortable to play in such a team! Li Feng empathizes with the pain of his former comrades.
Li Feng felt uncomfortable when he saw such a ball, but Prince still smiled. He was still taking Li Feng around the stadium. Finally, he used his teammate's cover to make two points and made a shot.
Prince made two more points, the Pelicans turned around and Ross passed the basketball to Li Feng's hands.
At this time, Li Feng got the ball, but his old friend Prince, who was standing in front of him, had a very relaxed defense, his position was loose, and he looked indifferent.
Prince had no fighting spirit on his face, and everyone of the Grizzlies, including the head coach, had this expression. This expression made Li Feng feel pain. What game is the worst? It is a game without fighting spirit.
The competition is about the competition. When competing with each other, you will have no fighters to compete. Is the competition meaningful?
Li Feng felt irritated and unhappy when he didn't get the ball. He felt that this was not a game, and he should give all his strength to the game. The game was all about enthusiasm and fighting spirit, rather than just like Prince and the others.
This emotion caused a force to ventilate from Li Feng's body. Li Feng shook in front of Prince, and accelerated without hesitation and rushed down to the Grizzlies' basket again.
Prince was loose because of his own attitude. So Li Feng was stunned by him. Li Feng suddenly shook over Prince and then bullied himself to the basket. This time, Li Feng showed no mercy and stood up and dunked his hands into the Grizzlies' basket.
This is not enough for Li Feng. After landing, Li Feng shouted at Marc Gasol:
"This is a game! It's a game now!"
Li Feng roared twice and ran back towards his half.
Li Feng was in a mild mood at the beginning, but now he suddenly had a tendency to go wild.
This made the fans very confused. Even his old friend Prince didn't understand it either. Prince almost ran behind Li Feng with his butt.
"Hey! Feng, what are you doing? Why are you yelling at Mark?"
Li Feng ran and shouted at Prince:
"Damn, you elementary school students like you can beat you. You actually got the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs?"
"Are you still that grizzly bear?"
After Li Feng finished yelling, Prince felt unwilling in his eyes. After hearing Li Feng's remarks, Prince felt dissatisfied in his heart.
How could you, an outsider, understand our pain? You went to the Eastern Conference Knicks and won three consecutive championships. When you came back, you lived a very comfortable life with the Pelicans. We lived an inhuman life with the Grizzlies.
Prince doesn't think what Li Feng said makes sense! Li Feng won't use his mouth to convince others. What he uses on the court to convince others is always action. It is your skills.
So Li Feng re-entered the game and immediately gave Prince a suffocating defense. He chased Prince and tried his best to suppress Prince once there was physical contact. Li Feng suppressed Prince.
The Grizzlies didn't have a good offensive opportunity, and in the end, Tony Allen failed to make a mid-range shot, and Li Feng turned around and grabbed the rebound.
After getting the rebound, Li Feng ran wildly by himself and ran to the Grizzlies' half. Li Feng shook his hand with one hand and flew up directly, gliding and dunking in the air.
