After he came on the court, he immediately pointed to his ears. The first move Li Feng made Van Gundy brow beat.

In the Pelicans' tactics, fingering the ear means playing a Princeton-like offense. This is not a completely Princeton-style offense, but uses several Princeton's signature methods.

The first is Henson and Brand's strategy of raising low posts, and then the cross cover made by Arenas and Victor Oladipo around Millsap, which are all a trademark style of play by Princeton.

Li Feng's idea is very simple. If the Pelicans want to break through the Spurs' defense with a counterpoint advantage, they need to create misalignment and open space. Brand and Henson have neither the conditions to play high pick-and-roll, and there are no suitable tip players to play in triangular offenses.

At this time, the best way for the Pelicans is to play this kind of attack similar to Princeton. The Pelicans suddenly formed such a formation, and the Spurs immediately became in chaos. Li Feng passed the ball to Henson, who was like the lighthouse.

Henson is actually very suitable for such support work. After receiving the ball, he seemed like a lighthouse and immediately transferred the ball to the weak side Arenas. There was no defensive player in front of Arenas. After receiving the ball, he made a shot, but unfortunately he missed the shot.

The basketball jumped out all of a sudden. The two big Pelicans were outside the three-second zone. Split easily grabbed the basketball and then turned around and passed it to Parker who played with Li Feng.

Parker seemed to be a little electric rabbit, running fast with the ball. At this time, Li Feng suddenly realized that his team had been lagging behind for so long, and his touch was completely ineffective.

However, the Spurs were still on the verge of the storm. Parker quickly passed the ball to Danny Green, and the shooter shot from the three-point line, causing a fatal blow to the Pelicans' wound.

After the Spurs came back in the second quarter, they didn't give the Pelicans any chance at all, and scored a three-pointer again.

As a result, the Pelicans players became nervous. After Li Feng came back, he felt that things had to be controlled by himself. Now the Pelicans urgently needed to score and urgently needed a stable score to control the situation with the Spurs.

So Li Feng came to control the ball and prepared to play Leonard alone. Leonard defended Li Feng's entire first quarter. He thought that Li Feng's failure to score was his own credit.

But now Li Feng has to do it himself. After dribbling over, Li Feng clearly sent a message to his teammates that he wanted to play singles. Li Feng made a single gesture, and the Pelicans players immediately gave Li Feng the entire left half space.

Bill Walton said at this time:

"Li Feng is going to play singles with Leonard, and he did not take a decent move in the whole first quarter. This time he is finally here."

The New Orleans Center saw the Pelicans pulling away to play singles for Li Feng, and the entire court cheered. The entire New Orleans Center was filled with cheers, including Li Feng, Li Feng, Li Feng, Li Feng, and such cheers.

Li Feng knew that now he was not only carrying the hope of the team, but also the hope of 20,000 fans in the New Orleans Center. The hope of more than 100,000 fans in the entire New Orleans.

After bent down, Leonard had a strong ability to confront each other, and direct confrontation was definitely not a good strategy. Attracting him and confusing him was what he should do. Li Feng, who made up his mind.

Suddenly dribbled forward, then shrank, attracting Leonard's attention, then turned around and cut in, waiting for Leonard to stick to him and Li Feng's turn again.

Li Feng seemed to be a butterfly flying in the middle of the flower. He rotated continuously and flew continuously. Leonard, who was used to direct confrontation, was soon confused by Li Feng, and Li Feng approached the basket through rhythmically continuous turning.

At this time, the Spurs' inside line was completely attracted to this side. Li Feng was in trouble, but at this moment, he suddenly turned around and attracted Leonard's attention.

Then he immediately turned around and made a layup with a low hand. Li Feng's move was very fast. Not only did he deceive Leonard, but he also crawled through Split, which was equivalent to passing two people in a row and sending the basketball into the basket.

As soon as Li Feng got the score, magician Johnson immediately shouted:

"pretty!"

Li Feng finally temporarily stopped the bleeding for the Pelicans and got points, but this is just stopped the bleeding. No team can rely on one person to keep scoring. Only when the team's system can run healthily can the team truly win.

"Li Feng, he is doing a pretty job, it's really hard to believe that he is just in the second grade, and his performance is as calm as an iceberg."

Bill Walton said at this time.

Leonard has a good defense, but now he is so easily beaten by the opponent, he is very angry.

Parker dribbled the ball and sent it over. Once the Spurs couldn't get up, Parker's organizational pressure would be very high. Moreover, Parker now has such a great defensive pressure against Li Feng.

During Parker's dribbling, Li Feng tried to use his long arm to break the ball, but the opponent was very alert and the speed of the change was very fast. As soon as Li Feng moved, the opponent pulled the basketball back. Li Feng did not touch the basketball at all. Parker was also very surprised. The opponent's harassment ability was so strong that his pressure suddenly became greater.

He hurriedly called Tim Duncan for cover. Parker and Duncan made pick-and-roll and pulled them towards 45 degrees. Li Feng and Brand took advantage of this time to quickly exchange defense.

When Parker saw Li Feng coming back, he hurriedly threw the ball into Duncan's hands. Parker was really smart. Duncan, who got the basketball, looked at Brand who had recovered.

Old Brand also has strong defensive ability, but now Duncan's hands have become hot and his confidence has risen through the fight with Millsap. It's like the car has passed quickly. It's hard to curb it anymore.

As soon as Old Brand came over, Duncan didn't care much at all. He looked up slightly and gave a very freehand fake move. Although Brand did not jump, his attention was also attracted.

Duncan followed by a quick cut. Duncan was not good at cutting, and this time he did not make a breakthrough very quickly, but he still left Brand behind.

Brand turned around and defended, and his movements suddenly became bigger. He bumped into Duncan with his shoulders. Duncan used Brand's strength to make his body crooked, and then he made a running shot with a very short movement.

The arc of the basketball shot was also very flat, but with the referee's whistle, Duncan's ball still entered.

2+1. Duncan's continuous attacks, Millsap couldn't defend, and Old Brand couldn't defend when he came up. Duncan seemed to be a god who came to kill the gods and Buddhas. No one could stop him at all.

Duncan didn't expect to go back at the beginning, just wanted to cheat a foul, but when he saw the basketball in, he immediately laughed. This matter was really interesting.

Duncan was laughing terrified there, and received the basketball and hit the free throw line.

At this time, Van Gundy sighed, but the pressure on the Pelicans was getting heavier, and the Spurs seemed to be getting smoother and smoother. Duncan, the rookie, obviously began to explode.

Li Feng also felt very stressed when he received the ball from the bottom line. What should he do at this time? The Spurs pressed step by step. Do you still have to solve it yourself? Li Feng was looking around, and at this time Arenas was looking at Li Feng's face.

Arenas was eager for Li Feng to pass the basketball over, he was eager for his friends to trust him. At this time, Arenas believed that he could do something. Although he met an opponent similar to him for the first time, Arenas still believed in his own. He hoped that Li Feng could trust him too.

So as soon as halftime, Arenas immediately ran up and shouted loudly at Li Feng:

"Ball, give me the ball."

Li Feng saw Arenas rushing over. He seemed to see Arenas wanting to say something to him. He quickly threw the basketball into Arenas's hand. Arenas received the basketball and swung it gently.

Li Feng came over to provide a cover for Arenas, and it was seen that Arenas suddenly changed his previous ball control rhythm.

Suddenly, he accelerated and rushed towards the basket. Arenas's sudden change did deceive Danny Green and everyone. He got into the Spurs' basket. Arenas had a chance.

However, his choice of breakthrough route is not very good. Shooting focuses on shooting timing, breakthrough focuses on breakthrough route, one requires time, and the other requires space.

Arenas has any problems with the mastery of time, but Arenas is still a novice in the mastery of space. He collided with Split head-on, and the space for sale was gone at once.

Throwing the basketball towards the rebound, but there was no threat at all. Duncan took his thief smile and loved the rebound, and then quickly passed the basketball into Parker's hand.

This immediately became the rhythm of the Spurs, fast and fast. Parker drove the ball and rushed up. Li Feng hurriedly delayed Parker's fast break rhythm. However, Parker, who had a specific understanding of Li Feng, did not make direct physical contact with Li Feng at all. Instead, he used his teammates' cover to play hide-and-seek with Li Feng, so that Li Feng would not catch him.

Parker fought all the way and glanced at him. He first saw that Leonard was in a good position, but Parker did not pass the ball. It was obvious that he did not trust Leonard, and then Duncan appeared from behind.

At this time, Parker passed the basketball in the past. Duncan is now hot. The person Parker really trusts in offense is obviously Duncan.

Tim Duncan inserted the ball in the middle and turned around in front of Old Brandford's heart, as if he was gyroscope, and completely twisted the veteran behind him.

Then Duncan generously stretched out his hand and made a beautiful layup. Another two points, Duncan scored another two points. All the Spurs scored at the opening of the second quarter were obtained by Duncan.

And it was a perfect shot, Duncan broke out completely, and this kind of explosion was still the kind of ubiquitous. After scoring, Duncan was touching his goatee and laughing.

To be honest, Duncan looked ugly when he smiled, but there was no way Duncan really started to go crazy now.

The Pelicans' offense has not been resolved, and they always score intermittently and cannot continue. The Spurs have a Duncan here. No matter where they get basketball, they can almost score.

Duncan, who has always been not good at three-pointers, even made a three-pointer. It is conceivable how hot his touch is. At this time, the Pelicans had no choice but to take Duncan. Brand could not defend, Henson did not have such a large range of activities, Millsap was not tall enough, so he searched all the inside players of the Pelicans. No one was suitable for Duncan.

At this time, Duncan's touch was extremely hot, which was adding insult to injury to the Pelicans.

Duncan scored 17 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and the score difference between the Pelicans and the Spurs was completely widened in this quarter.

51-33, the Spurs led the Pelicans by as much as 18 points. Such a large score was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The entire New Orleans Center did not expect that at its home court, its team was beaten so badly by the Spurs.

The midfield whistle sounded, and the Pelicans players walked into the locker room dejectedly. Arenas's face was also extremely bad. After that unsuccessful layup, he launched three consecutive attacks, but the results were very poor.

Not only Arenas, Victor Oladipo, Henson, and Brand collectively silenced. Today, everyone in the Pelicans' offense was very unsuccessful, as if the poor feel would be contagious.

Li Feng's shooting today was also unstable and his shooting rate was not high. In this case, when everyone walked into the locker room, they were very depressed. Arenas threw his clothes into the locker as soon as he entered the door.

Victor Oladipo even said:

"I was so unlucky today. My hands were as cold as ice. No matter how I did it, I felt like I was strangled and I had no room to play."

"Yes. Today's game made people feel instinctively unhappy. I don't know what happened, but it's just a discomfort all over my body."

DJ Augustine's first half also played a bad game. He also started to complain.

Although the Spurs are a very strong team in the league, the key is that the Pelicans are restrained by the opponent in some aspects, and the opponent's sharpest part just stabs the Pelicans' weakest part.

Moreover, the Pelicans' performance is not very good today. The two situations combined make the Pelicans' performance very weak, which should be considered a kind of powerless resistance.

Li Feng also sat there. He had completely experienced the whole first half today. The opponent performed very well, and happened to be very poor here. In the half-time battle, his team seemed very powerless.

There was nowhere to find a counterattack in the offense, so how to do this? Just as Li Feng was thinking, Van Gundy pushed the door and walked in from outside.

Van Gundy now saw the gloomy look in the entire locker room. He clapped his hands and made everyone focus on themselves.

"What's wrong with my boys? Everyone is frowning."

After Van Gundy did this, everyone focused their attention on Van Gundy.

"Yes, we are now behind a lot of points, and we may even suffer the first failure since the start of the game, but this is the game. Any team will have such a time. What we have to face is not to sigh, but to face it and find a solution. Now let's analyze our opponents.

As he said that, Van Gundy walked towards the small blackboard in the locker room and pointed his finger at the top of the blackboard.

The Spurs are a team with a strong rhythm and good defense. These two points were difficult to put together, but once they were combined, they would have a very strong offensive system.

Both the Nets and the Spurs are teams with this offensive system, and our attack is not easy now. There is only one way to win the game, that is, defense.

Van Gundy said here and put his hand on his chest. When our team is powerless in offense, all we need is defense. Only defense can save our team, only defense.

Van Gundy's strategy is correct. Defensiveness is a necessary medicine to save the team. Having said this, Van Gundy continued:

"The reason why the Spurs were so sharp in the first half was not that they did a good job in the team, but that their Duncan was completely out of control."

"At this time, the first step we have to control Duncan, and no matter where he is, he has to double-team him."

When Van Gundy said that he had a lot of pride, now that if the Pelicans want to change the game, they must have strong measures to change the situation of the Pelicans.

The third quarter started over, and in the fans' memories, the third quarter has always been boring, because after the first quarter that brought them a sense of freshness, it was still early to the fourth quarter where the final decision was made.

However, many games finally changed during this period. The interruption of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter are the time when **Vicci likes to change the rhythm the most.
