The Grizzlies are a difficult opponent. The Pelicans finally defeated them. A big rock in their hearts was put down. The opponent in the Western Conference Finals was the Spurs. They were still not too nervous. Everyone performed very relaxed during training.

The Pelicans took a bus to the New Orleans Center. At this time, there were already a lot of people outside the New Orleans Center. This New Orleans Center is different from the New Orleans Center a year ago. The New Orleans Center a year ago was almost unwilling to be in the New Orleans Center, and the attendance rate was mediocre, which was good enough to reach 70%.

But now the New Orleans Center has suddenly become one of the hottest players in the league. Fans who come here not only have to watch the Pelicans' games, but also Li Feng's performance.

The entire New Orleans Center looked a little dim from the player passage, and Li Feng's eyes looked above the stadium.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the balloons shattered and sprinkled fireworks all over the sky. The cheerleaders rushed out behind the fireworks and began to dance enthusiastically.

Arenas' eyes, smiled and said:

"I like the performance today, it's good."

Li Feng also looked at the stadium with a smile, waiting for the start of the game. At this time, the entire New Orleans Center had already begun to warm up, with cheerful voices everywhere, and enthusiastic fans hoped that their team would kill the opponent at the doorstep.

DJ from the New Orleans Center began to call on the Spurs players. The first Spurs played was Split. Split was tall and a very good defensive player. The offense was also good. His advantages were so distinct and his shortcomings were also very distinct, that is, he was mediocre, his offense was not bad or strong. The defense was not too strong.

The Spurs' second appearance was Danny Green, then Ginobili, then Tony Parker, and finally rookie No. 21 young man Duncan.

In this way, the Spurs' first lineup has been neatly formed, center Tiago Split, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Leonard, shooting guard Danny Green, and point guard Parker.

Next, it was the Pelicans' turn to play. Henson was the first to play here at the Pelicans. Henson's simple autumn wind and solid attitude were highly praised by fans. The fans of the New Orleans Center cheered enthusiastically.

Then the next ones were Arenas, Millsap, Ross, and finally Li Feng appeared. When he heard DJ pronounce his name, Li Feng took a deep breath and jumped out. As soon as Li Feng appeared in the center of New Orleans, the entire arena suddenly exploded.

The cheers like tsunamis gushed towards Li Feng from all directions, and countless fans jumped up enthusiastically. Holding up various placards, the fans on both sides of the player passage stretched out their enthusiastic arms, all wanting to high-five with Li Feng.

Li Feng stretched out his arms, as if he was a big bird, and while flying, he swept across the fans on both sides, the cheers suddenly became even louder.

Bill Walton, who was sitting in the commentary seat, saw this scene. He immediately said to the magician Johnson beside him:

"See it, see how the New Orleans are crazy about this guy!"

The face of Magic Johnson said with this familiar smile:

“He looks very much like me when I was young.”

Bill Walton didn't expect the magician Johnson to say this shamelessly. So Bill Walton said:

"Is that true, but that's what I said. I heard Larry Johnson and Leonard say, and it seems that Charles Barkley has said that too."

Mama Larry Johnson, and the monster Leonard are also representatives of the short power forward, and the Magician is a bit more comprehensive. He is an all-around guy, so he heard Bill Walton compete with himself and that.

Li Feng walked out of the player channel and waved to the entire New Orleans Center. At this time, the game began.

Henson and Split competed for the ball in the middle circle. To be fair, Split couldn't beat Henson in terms of athletic talent, but the basketball was gently pushed into Parker's hands.

When dealing with Parker, the Pelicans use the strongest Li Feng to defend the wrong defense. Parker is particularly skilled in ball control skills, so Parker gives up half a step in defense.

Follow Parker little by little. After Parker got the basketball, he immediately felt this kind of defensive pressure in front of Li Feng. Li Feng was very strong in height, strength, footsteps, and the area covered. Parker felt like a moving hill stood in front of him.

Suddenly he felt that things were a little tricky. Although he knew that Li Feng had strong defensive ability before the game, he only felt this pressure when he stood in front of Li Feng.

Parker was so suppressed by Li Feng that he wanted to test it out to see if he had the ability to break Li Feng's defense, so he did not call Duncan to cover it.

He got the basketball and shook it quickly in front of Li Feng. When Li Feng saw Parker shaking with the basketball, he realized that he was going to break through.

When Parker moved, he hurriedly pushed Parker to the sideline. It was originally very powerful, because although Parker looked thin, he was still very strong in terms of strength.

But now Parker broke through the past step by step and hit Li Feng's hips. If the person has not passed, the ordinary person will become stiff and his body will stop.

Li Feng would take this opportunity to put it on at once, but after Parker hit him differently, he had no time to stiffen. Instead, he immediately twisted his body and changed his body angle. At the same time, he pulled the basketball toward his crotch, turning it into a dribble under his crotch.

Although Parker had no one in the past, he did not give Li Feng a chance to stick himself to him and put him there, and immediately changed the angle of his body.

The first encounter between Li Feng and Parker seemed to be a draw. Although Li Feng had a physical advantage, Parker was like a boat in the wind and waves. If you hit him with wind and rain, he would not be in danger of being destroyed.

In an instant, Li Feng and Parker were surprised, and then they knew that the other party was definitely not easy to mess with.

When Li Feng was about to change his angle, Parker rushed up again after an impact. At this time, although the small French sports car Parker was small, it was toxic. He rushed up again and collided with Li Feng again.

Li Feng was very surprised at Parker's behavior. Parker was like a stumbling ant. He collided with his limbs one after another, and finally approached the basket and suddenly hit the ball and passed the ball to the basket.

When Li Feng saw the direction of the ball, he immediately realized that this guy was desperately slamming himself, which was a purpose. The Spurs' half-time offense mentioned earlier was very simple. It was to cover the high position and the two wings, let Parker enter the opponent's three-point line, and then interspersed the move to create opportunities for his companions.

Although this tactic is simple, it is almost uncontrollable if it is equipped with an excellent point guard. The Suns have played like this for many years and have never seen anyone defending Nash's interlude.

Parker had no cover for the first time, but he had to carry out the tactics. The only way to continue to execute them was to collide with himself, attracting attention and disrupting the defense.

Duncan bent down at the basket to catch the ball. After receiving the basketball, Duncan immediately raised his waist. He dribbled the ball and gave a little time difference, which made Millsap not know when to jump, and he calmly hooked his hand.

The ball went in. Millsap played very well in both rounds, but today he met Duncan. He was the first tough player he met. Duncan was versatile and tricky. He became more and more demonic, which is undeniable.

"The Spurs got points at the beginning. It seems they are well prepared."

Bill Walton saw a very rigorous goal at the beginning of the game.

Li Feng had no expression on his face, but he immediately re-judged Parker in his heart.

Millsap passed the basketball to Li Feng with a little shame at the bottom line, and Li Feng slapped the guy's butt for a while.

Then the dribble rushed towards Parker. To be precise, it was to use pressure. Li Feng purely pressed Parker little by little with his body to walk towards the Spurs' half. Once this was done, Parker was at a disadvantage and could not stop Li Feng. However, Li Feng dribbled over very easily and proudly passed the basketball from Parker's head to Arenas's hand. In the past, Arenas had the advantage in height and footsteps, but today he met Danny Green, and Arenas encountered a nail.

Although Danny Green is a shooter, he is very tall and moves very fast. Although Danny Green is unstable now, his hardware conditions are all there. Arenas's footsteps and speed that used to dominate the stadium disappeared in front of Danny Green. Arinas suddenly felt fear. He dribbled the ball and forced his move. As a result, he encountered interference and failed to enter. At this time, Van Gundy's brows frowned.

Split quickly grabbed the rebound, then turned his head and passed it to Parker.

Parker immediately accelerated the offensive rhythm and ran towards the Pelicans' half. The Spurs' game rhythm was like this, with a fast pace and a simple attack. When Parker dribbled the ball and rushed over.

Li Feng went to chase him. At this time, Parker had passed the previous test and knew that he had been Li Feng because he was too hard, so he simply played the game of circling the pillars with Li Feng and used his teammates to abandon Li Feng behind him.

Parker seemed to be an elf, playing with the huge Li Feng in applause. Ross, who was supposed to be playing against Parker, immediately came to assist in defense. At this time, Ross also saw that if he had no assist in defense, Parker could bring the ball to his basket.

Facing Rose who suddenly appeared, he dribbled the ball towards Rose with one hand, as if he was about to force the cut. Rose moved slightly and Parker immediately walked to the outside.

In the process of high marching, Ross easily passed the robbery halfway through this. Parker directly rushed to the Pelicans' basket, under the defense of Millsap who was catching up.

The easy throwing was successful. At this time, Parker strongly had extraordinary ability and throwing shots. When he encountered Millsap's low height, basketball easily entered the net.

Van Gundy realized a little bit of something wrong at this time, but because the entire Spurs feel a little different today.

He looked at the field with a cold expression, and Li Feng received the ball from the half. **Vic yelled at Leonard on the sideline, exchanged hands and gestured, asking Leonard and Parker to replace the defender.

It was obvious that Parker suffered a great loss in the matchup process, and now he immediately hung Leonard over to fight against Li Feng.

Leonard immediately changed after receiving the command from the head coach and blocked Li Feng.

Leonard had repaired LeBron James. But he had been repaired by Li Feng more times, so Leonard came over and immediately pressed him on Li Feng. Li Feng's match against Leonard was nothing, but when he met Leonard today, he immediately felt the difference in this guy.

His physical fitness is really given by God, and his ability to move and strength to fight against him. It is really hard to solve problems with strength. After Li Feng knew this, he simply changed his strategy and turned around with skills and false actions to deal with Leonard.

After halftime, Li Feng transferred the ball to Millsap's hands. Millsap took the ball and forced the cut. Duncan on the opposite side did not have to be weak in his steps and degree. Millsap's forced rebound was disturbed.

The Pelicans did not take away points when they made two consecutive half-time offenses. This was not because of a mistake or a question of shooting timing, but because of being contained purely in the matchup.

Duncan reached out to get the rebound and was about to pass the ball quickly. Millsap hurriedly got up to hinder the Spurs' first pass. Millsap was still smart. After disgusting the Spurs' first pass, the Spurs could only play half-court attack.

Li Feng went over and stared at Parker. Parker knew that it was too difficult to deal with Li Feng with his own strength. After half the game, he immediately called for cover and asked Duncan to come and help him. Duncan immediately pulled up to cover Parker, and Parker walked around Duncan.

Millsap and Li Feng's defense was replaced, and Li Feng had no problem with defending Duncan. But Millsap was a little busy here, just as the Pelicans' defense was a little confused. Henson's great energy was involved in Parker, and he was wondering whether to assist in defense.

Split suddenly turned around and stuck Henson behind him. Split had just made an action here, and Parker on the other side had already thrown the basketball into the air.

“Aerial relay!”

Li Feng knew what the other party was going to do, but he had no ability to stop them. Split was united with the basket in the air and smashed the basketball heavily on the basket.

Split and the Spurs gave New Orleans Center such a surprise at the beginning. The stadium was different immediately. The booings around were all started. New Orleans fans did not come to see Split's dunk, they came to see how their team tear the opponent apart.

Magic Johnson immediately said after seeing this scene in the commentary seat:

"Today, the Spurs were a bit of a go-to home, and they played very smoothly at the beginning, but the Pelicans obviously encountered difficulties on the offensive end. Now I don't know what the Pelicans head coach Jeff Van Gundy will feel."

Van Gundy is in a bad mood now, and he finds his team fall into the opponent's rhythm.

The Pelicans turned around and attacked again. Arenas wanted to use his teammates to widen the distance and score, but he obviously underestimated the Spurs' assisting defense ability. Don't forget that **Vic can lead the Nets and the Spurs to victory. There are two most necessary points, one is fast attack and the other is defense.

The Pelicans lost the offense again, and after the Spurs came back, Leonard immediately made a foul at the basket.

The initiative in the game was completely controlled by the Spurs, and the Pelicans showed a weak trend. At this time, Van Gundy wanted to adjust, but he couldn't adjust at all. In the first quarter, the Spurs played smoother and smoother, but the Pelicans, who were usually very useful, could not play in this game.

The first quarter was halfway through, and in 8 minutes and 25 seconds, the Spurs widened the lead to 10 points. 21-11, the Spurs successfully opened the score at the beginning.

No one in the Pelicans expected that they would be beaten so miserably by the opponent in the first quarter.

Bill Walton said in the commentary seat:

"Today's game is surprising. The Pelicans have performed well recently, but their performance today must have disappointed the fans of the New Orleans Center Center because their performance against the Spurs is like a mouse meeting a kitten. The Spurs are simply an old monster."

The game has been going on now, even if Van Gundy is slow, he has found that the Spurs have a huge advantage against their team in the face. Split not only has Henson's defense, but is stronger than Henson's ability in movement.

Duncan is taller than Millsap. He has more comprehensive skills and richer experience. Arenas, who used to be very difficult to defend in position, was also in trouble when he encountered Danny Green today.

Ross faces Leonard and does not have an advantage. The only Li Feng faces Parker and has a physical advantage, but **Vic also switches defense. At this time, the Pelicans looked so restrained that they were tightly restrained.

Van Gundy changed into a substitute lineup at this time. He replaced DJ Augustine, Oladipo, and Caron Butler, replacing Li Feng, Ross, Millsap, and Arenas. Although he did not score, Danny Green met a guy with the same figure and speed. His scoring effect was very unsatisfactory.

The Pelicans replaced the substitute and the Spurs were leading the score at this time, so naturally they wanted to get a good rest. They replaced the three veterans of Bonner, Patrick Mills and Ginobili.

The Spurs have three veterans, and the quality of the Spurs and the Pelicans' lineup is compared. The quality of the Pelicans' substitutes is obviously much better than that of the Spurs. They are all powerful players who are in their play age, whether it is Victor Oladipo or Caron Butler, they are all players who can stand on the team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans barely chased the score to about 5 points, and the first quarter ended from 29 to 24.

Van Gundy thought he had found a way to chase points, and Duncan hit a mid-range shot near the bottom line.

Although Oladipo turned back two points. No one expected that this was just the beginning of Duncan, and Duncan once again opened up space at the bottom line.

Although Mills, who was in possession of the ball, was not a player who started as a point guard. But he also knew that Duncan was in a hot position and he should give him the ball first.

Mills passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan scored 6 points in the first quarter today, with a three-point shooting percentage of 4 shots. Now he started the second quarter again, so he felt that his hands were very hot today, and the rookie in front of him could not bring him much pressure on defense.

After Duncan received the basketball, he immediately took the opportunity to play against Millsap. Millsap felt extremely powerless in front of Duncan today. The guy on the opposite side was not fighting with Millsap, but using various skills to deal with Millsap. In this way, this guy couldn't find the opposite.

Duncan swung his arms easily, moved back and forth in front of Millsap, and made a stance to cut into the frame. He was like a little tiger ready to pounce on him at any time.

But just as Millsap adjusted his center of gravity and squatted down, Duncan easily raised his hand to shoot.

This was originally a method that Millsap was good at, but now Duncan is higher than Millsap, so it is easier to attack. The basketball easily crossed Millsap's head and easily entered the net in the basket behind him.

Duncan, the No. 21 rookie, beat Millsap in such a row, and Van Gundy immediately replaced Brand. Veteran Brand has richer defensive experience and replaced the main player of the Pelicans, and Li Feng also returned to the court.

Li Feng, who returned to the court, knew very well that the Pelicans were now stuck on their necks. To break this situation, there were only two options: either make their own efforts and become an all-round scoring machine, or change the offensive method of the entire team and find a way to break the Spurs' defense.
