Thornton used his young body to speed up the running speed, and Li Feng was also running slowly. The Pelicans didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Li Feng was still running in those two simple horoscopes facing Jason Thompson, using the cover of high and low positions to travel freely. Li Feng seemed to be so leisurely, but only Li Feng himself knew that the shape of the 8-subs he ran when he was running low was already a bigger lap than before. What does this mean?

This shows that you must be farther away from the basket. If you are farther away from the basket, the success rate of scores will naturally decrease. This is an inevitable reality.

Li Feng finally reached a tacit understanding with DJ Augustine at a high position. Li Feng turned around and took a false move, attracting Guy, who came to defend, flashed backwards. Li Feng took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly made a mid-range shot, using Li Feng's best-quality shooting.

After scoring two points again, the Pelicans still seemed to be able to score easily in the Kings in the first half, but Van Gundy noticed two details. First, he was around his low post, which was originally the first choice for Li Feng to score, but he did not take action within this range just now. Second, Li Feng used a side-step attack for the first time, which shows that he would change the way he attacked the basket.

Mike Malone's guess is completely correct. He only rushes to the Pelicans' half and starts his own strategic intentions. The Kings kept pouring balls outside the Pelicans' three-point line. Several outside opportunities were useless. It was because Guy suddenly launched a breakthrough again.

He rushed up directly to the basket, and Guy rushed very hard. Li Feng was originally planning to go up to defend, but in the past moment, he suddenly remembered a possibility, why did Guy, who was good at three-point shooting, break through, and why?

This thought flashed through Li Feng's mind. Li Feng stopped his pounce for no reason in an instant, just waiting in the three-second zone to open his hands, without an active defensive attitude.

Sure enough, Guy arrived at Li Feng and even deliberately waited for Li Feng with his shoulders. However, Li Feng had no reaction. Guy, who was ill-minded, did not hit the ball when he saw the plan failed and made a layup.

Li Feng turned around and grabbed the rebound. After a quarter of the game, Li Feng's awareness of grabbing rebounds gradually increased.

Li Feng, who grabbed the rebound, also smiled at Guy with malicious intentions. Then he immediately dribbled the ball twice. Li Feng's dribble immediately reminded the king of his counterattack just now.

The team seemed to have received some signal and immediately retreated to the back. The king retreated quickly, but Li Feng stopped dribbling. He quietly handed the basketball to DJ Augustine.

In this way, Li Feng understood what Mike Malone was going to do. In such a slow-paced game, the Pelicans and the Kings had a fatal weakness. How could it be said to be a fatal weakness? Here, the Kings. As long as Cousins ​​is not on the court, Isaiah Thomas will not overturn the Pelicans' ship alone. Moreover, the Pelicans have the chance to score in the Kings' inside line. Here, the Pelicans have a intensive use of players, and there are only a few people. As long as one person makes too many fouls, especially Li Feng's point, this tactic will completely lose its meaning.

When Mike Malone saw this weakness, he must have told his players that he would hit the firepower and kill Li Feng, and hit the firepower to drive Li Feng off the court. At that time, the King's gradual turn of defeat into victory begins.

The Pelicans took the ball, and Li Feng continued to move in the Kings' inside line. Jason Thompson could not keep up with Li Feng alone, and Cousins ​​could only cover this area under the basket like a big tree. Li Feng still needed Marcus Thornton to come to assist in defense. Without Marcus Thornton, Li Feng would be completely equivalent to an ATM.

But once Guy comes over, Thornton becomes a problem, and Jason Thompson cannot let go near the three-point line. Li Feng got the basketball and saw Marcus Thornton, and immediately went to find Thornton. Thornton received the ball from the bottom corner and attacked directly along the bottom line to the King's basket.

Thornton doesn't shoot three-pointers anymore. A man who was originally good at three-pointers now doesn't shoot three-pointers, just hitting your inside line. The goal is obvious and it can cause damage, but the Pelicans' requirements are not high. No matter who it is, Jason Thompson, Cousins, and Marcus Thornton, the Kings will have a headache after the game alone.

Thornton was determined, but when he saw Cousins ​​right in front of him, he threw the basketball into Al Jefferson's hands.

Al Jefferson got the basketball and rushed directly to the basket, hugged the basketball and smashed it towards the basket. Anyway, you either pulled him down or let him dunk him.

At this time, Cousins ​​couldn't let Al Jefferson do this. Al Jefferson dunked Cousins ​​on the head. This was a huge loss for Cousins' status in the martial arts world. According to Cousins's idea, he couldn't afford to lose his face. He turned around and pulled Al Jefferson down from above.

The referee immediately gave Cousins ​​a foul and sent Al Jefferson to the free throw line. Although Al Jefferson failed to make two free throws.

But Van Gundy was still excited, and Mike Malone sighed repeatedly, because this foul was too important. Don’t forget that Cousins ​​had already committed a foul before. This was the second time. If the third time appeared, he would not play in the first half, and the Kings would not have any chance in the first half.

But this is the Pelicans' opportunity. As long as the Kings have no Cousins, the Pelicans' world will be under the basket. Those who have the inside will win the world. At that time, they will have to be in the wind and rain. How can the Pelicans play?

So when Cousins ​​fouled, Mike Malone called a timeout again. He began to instruct his players to protect the content of the Olympics, and repeatedly asked Cousins ​​not to foul. He would rather endure it first than foul. As long as Cousins ​​is still under the King's basket, the King will always have a chance.

Mike Malone gave this order. In fact, Van Gundy's instructions on the other side of the court were similar. He also asked his players to remain restrained and reduce unnecessary fouls. For Li Feng, other players can help protect him. In addition, he gave a special explanation. The Pelicans' current score must cause damage and must go to the inside. It doesn't matter if they have no chance to go to the inside, but if the ball is passed to the outside, the outside players will not be able to make time, so they will continue to make breakthroughs.

The tactics of the two teams are almost the same, both emphasize breakthroughs, inside kills, and defense. Now after the Kings' Cousins ​​comes back, the Pelicans' good days are over, and the competition between the two teams is to win if whoever beats someone more miserable, whoever wins, whoever has a defensive system is cut off, and there are loopholes, and the other side is the winner.

The game became simple and monotonous, but overall, the kings were at a disadvantage because they were behind in the score. Cousins ​​made two fouls, and Li Feng did not even have a foul. Al Jefferson did once.

This is related to Van Gundy's instructions. The Pelicans have paid attention to these aspects before the game. They are prepared and have played until now, and this has become the leading position for the Pelicans. These have become the weapons for the Pelicans to win the King.

After the two teams returned to the court, their playing styles were very similar. They both rushed into the opposite inner line very fiercely.

In this way, the audience who watched the pure hand-to-hand combat was only depressed and had no technical content, just charge. The Pelicans had Li Feng as the charge arrow, and the King had Isaiah Thomas as the charge arrow.

It's ugly to play like this, but it's very tired to go.

Jason Thompson had helped Cousins ​​take two fouls, but Jason Thompson was still there. When Li Feng was running, he felt that this was not a solution. He could not make the Kings players feel that they could attack at will. At this time, blocking them can't stop them. They are all suicide squads, and they only use what they fear the most to curb them.

Li Feng thought of fake fall at this time. Aren’t you going to lie to me? Then I will lie to you first. When your cumulative foul comes, I will kill you instead. Li Feng made up his mind and did it like that.

After making up this idea, he carefully selected the position in the inside line, chose a good angle, and made the false fall change reasonable. This is very important. If you don’t do it well, this is a defensive foul. You must choose a good position and must meet the action standards.

The Kings' basketball is still crazy about attacking the inside, with many opportunities, but there are absolutely not many particularly good opportunities.

Cousins ​​snatched out to cover again. His fat butt made Isaiah Thomas' breakthrough look as sharp as a knife. Isaiah Thomas changed direction and dodged Ronnie Brewer, and then he got into the gap of the defender. At this time, Isaiah Thomas had only one way.

That is Li Feng. Isaiah Thomas came to find Li Feng, but Li Feng was also waiting for Isaiah Thomas. He did not kill others and did not kill Isaiah Thomas the most powerful thing.

Isaiah Thomas suddenly rushed up, and he faced Li Feng directly. Li Feng moved over. Isaiah Thomas thought he would have a head-on confrontation with Li Feng, and Li Feng would compete with him like a man.

Isaiah Thomas jumped resolutely, preparing for the ultimate battle with Li Feng, but what Isaiah Thomas didn't expect was that Li Feng did not jump up at all, but fell straight like firewood.

Isaiya Thomas was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Li Feng to do this. Li Feng fell straight on the court, but Isaiya Thomas was at a loss in the air and ran the basketball hard toward the basket.

But at this moment, the whistle sounded. As soon as Bavita's whistle sounded, Li Feng immediately went to see Bavita's gesture, which determined the fate of him and Isaiah Thomas, which was to hit the ball and hit the ball.

Li Feng couldn't cheer at this time, but in his heart, he cheered. He succeeded, and he really succeeded. In this way, Isaiah Thomas' fouls also reached 2 times, and Cousins ​​and Isaiah Thomas both did.

The Pelicans have the advantage at this moment. The Kings' two main players made two fouls. The Kings who were forced by form cannot make any mistakes. As long as a mistake occurs, the Kings will lose an important player in the first half.

Li Feng used the rules to kill him. The king's counterattack. Mike Malone stood up seriously. He had never thought about this detail, but this detail came to kill him. Now he was so regretful.

After Li Feng successfully got Isaiah Thomas, the balance of victory tilted towards the Pelicans.

As the team's first breakthrough sharp knife, Isaiah Thomas inevitably had a little fear when attacking the inside. The effect of such fear cannot be revealed in normal times. But if you face a team that has been competing with you for the ability to kill.

Such fear immediately affected the team's offense. Cousins ​​looked depressed today. He was tortured back and forth. Now the Pelicans mice are still rushing towards the inside. Cousins ​​is simply troubled.

Originally, Cousins ​​had no choice, but after seeing Li Feng successfully dealing with Isaiah Thomas, he felt that he could actually do this. If he also made those Pelicans guys afraid of him, he would be more relaxed.

Although Cousins ​​has never done such a thing. But Cousins ​​himself believes that as long as Li Feng can do it, he can do it. Cousins ​​also began to look for opportunities to create fouls at halftime.

Moreover, the person Cousins ​​is looking for is not someone else but Li Feng, because Isaiah Thomas is the King's offensive arrow, and Li Feng is the Pelicans' offensive arrow.

Cousins' idea is creative. If he can really do it, he can really hit the Pelicans, but Li Feng is not as easy to guess as Isaiah Thomas. Isaiah Thomas rushed to the inside, and he was passing the ball in addition to attacking the basket.

However, after Li Feng got in, there were still many subsequent methods of handling. He might suddenly turn around and shoot. He might suddenly hook after a fake move. In short, because Li Feng was much taller than Isaiah Thomas in height.

There are more choices to go to the inside, which makes it not so easy for Cousins ​​to create a chance to foul the ball.

Cousins ​​originally saw a chance, but after Li Feng got into the King's inside line, he immediately turned around and hooked. His posture was even worse than Duncan of the Spurs, but he deserved it.

Cousins ​​was just looking for opportunities to create an offensive foul. He did not interfere with Li Feng's shot and the basketball fell easily into the King's basket.

Barkley was surprised to say to his partner Kenny Smith:

"Cousins' defense is a little absent-minded now. Mike Malone no longer needs to contribute on the offensive end, just to save his physical strength. But now this lazy cat does nothing when defending. I think Mike Malone may be troubled in this way?"

Cousins' actions were a bit weird. Mike Malone really didn't pay attention because he felt that it was a manifestation of Cousins ​​feeling tired again.

Li Feng did not expect Cousins ​​to be learning from him at all. He was concentrating on how to ensure his scoring efficiency. Although Thornton scored several goals, the king still did not give up on his attack on him.

After Li Feng got the basketball at the bottom line, Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson rushed towards him, preparing to form a double-player defense in front of him. Li Feng did not shoot like a two-player defense.

So he simply chose, and before the two men closed and formed an absolute double defense, he began to break through.

Li Feng squeezed through the gap between the two of them and rushed towards the basket.

This time Cousins ​​finally confirmed that he must have made a breakthrough this time, and he must have made a breakthrough.

After receiving such information, Cousins ​​decided to teach his boss a lesson. He is not Harden but he also wants to teach his boss a lesson!

He moved quickly towards here. Under the notes of 20,000 spectators in the New Orleans Arena, Li Feng and Cousins ​​collided, and at the moment they collided.

Mike Malone's eyes widened. What was Cousins ​​doing? But he immediately saw Cousins ​​falling down, and it was a very fake fall.

"boom!"

This time, the center of the New Orleans Arena was boiling, and the entire stand was booing. Cousins ​​really had no experience in fake falls, and he even had protective actions when he landed.

The referee immediately gave Cousins ​​a defensive foul. The referee Bavita cast an angry look at Cousins. He thought it was Cousins' contempt for him. Cousins ​​vainly threw himself into a fall, but did not get the desired result.

Cousins ​​naturally rushed to the referee and shouted that he was dissatisfied. He felt that Li Feng had fallen and he had fallen, so why did the judgments be the same?

Seeing this, Mike Malone was almost angry and fainted. Cousins, you are not the kind of cunning player at all. Just let it go. Why do you have to do something fake? Even if you want to fake a fall, can you change it to another game? Now you have two fouls.

Now Cousins ​​is equivalent to destroying himself and destroying the king. Mike Malone feels that if possible, he wants to kill Cousins, a fool, with a pistol.

Barkley was happy, and he kept mocking Cousins' misjudgment in the commentary:

"Hahaha, it's so interesting. Cousins ​​actually wanted to fake a fall, but his fake a fall was too unprofessional. Now, the Pelicans don't have to find a way to get Cousins ​​down, he goes down by himself."

Cousins ​​was still arguing with Bavita, so the old man Bavita simply glared at Cousins ​​and wanted to make a technical foul. Seeing that the old man was angry, Cousins ​​walked away by himself.

But at this time, the center of the New Orleans Arena did not plan to surround Cousins. Cousins's slutty performance was played on the big screen. When he moved over, his upper body did not move, but the key question was that his feet were still moving?

Moreover, Cousins ​​fell to the ground too fake. After touching Li Feng, he even protected him with his hands when he fell to the ground. This was a sign of ecstasy.

In an instant, the Kings lost their biggest barrier in the inside, and the ball rights and the team's trend returned to the Pelicans.
Chapter completed!
