Now it's just the second quarter, Van Gundy is going to take the Cavaliers away and hurt the opponent severely. It can be seen that Van Gundy also attaches great importance to today's game. If he wants to win, he must win early, without leaving any future troubles, and directly kill the opponent. This determination and courage are great. However, Li Feng likes Van Gundy's idea. In the Pelicans' playing so well in the first quarter, why not take the opponent away in just one wave? It's abnormal not to do this.

Li Feng nodded excitedly. With Li Feng's support, Van Gundy immediately went back and said to everyone:

"Young guys, we did a good job in the first quarter. Even I have to admit that we played a good ball in the quarter, but now I'll give you an order, and I'll order you to continue this good state until you defeat the Cavaliers. We will take the Cavaliers away in the first half and take away this Eastern Conference strong team, so that everyone can see that we are the real strong people. In this way, even if they rely on referees to enter the finals in the playoffs, they will only be our losers."

"Wow!"

After Van Gundy said this, the Pelicans and the newborn calf were immediately excited. Young people would like this kind of thing, and there was no young man who didn't like this crazy attack.

When Van Gundy planned to take the opponent away in a wave of flows, the Cavaliers were in a stalemate.

David Blatt originally wanted James to continue the meat-egg tactic on the sidelines, but he wanted James to throw himself into the opponent's basket and defraud ∟, w≯ww. For a foul or score, David Blatt wanted to beat James hard, and James said that he would not execute the proposal.

James and Wade were once good-looking friendly teammates and brothers. He knew what Wade was like now. He didn't want to be the second Wade. At the same time, James also believed that his style of play was different from Wade and this style of play was not a long-term solution. So James rejected David Blatt's proposal. At the same time, James proposed that Matthew Dravidova should be given some time. Matthew Dravidova was originally James' little brother, and the two were close, and Matthew Dravidova's style of play was indeed complementary to James, so at this time he asked for Matthew Dravidova's chance.

As a head coach, David Blatt's sorrow is that he cannot command the team according to his own wishes. In everyone's hearts, he is not as heavy as James, so he cannot display all his abilities. What's more important is that there is a gap between David Blatt and James this season, and there is also a gap between James and the management.

The Cavaliers are unhappy. The coach and the stars can't imagine that the management is not as bad as the stars, and the Cavaliers this year seem to be missing something. Now James is still unwilling to cooperate with David Blatt. David Blatt can only sigh himself. He is also a victim between the management and the players.

The two teams have completely different mentalities, one with a lot of gaps and the other with a boiling blood. Charles Barkley, who was on the commentary seat, also said:

"The Cavaliers did not play well this season, especially James, who seems to have lost their passion for the Cavaliers this season."

Kenny Smith said at this time:

"He hasn't found his own Pippen and Rodman yet, and he may be a little anxious now. Especially now that he has not renewed his contract with the team, the team doesn't know what to do."

"If James renews his contract in advance, the team will spare no effort to please James and find new helpers for him. If James refuses, the Cavaliers will have other plans, but now James has not said anything. This is the Cavaliers' problem. After all, James has come back once."

"No, no, no, I think the problem is not whether James renews the contract. Now the team is eager to keep James. Then they should find a suitable helper before James renews the contract, rather than waiting for James to renew the contract before finding helpers. They have confused the order. The Cavaliers' management lacks skills. If it were the people of the Bass family, they would have done this long ago, but the Cavaliers' management is not good."

While Barkley was arguing with Kenny Smith, the second quarter began.

At this time, when he came back in the second quarter, the Pelicans replaced Li Feng first, so the Pelicans' lineup became a fierce point guard Turner, shooting guard Pierce, small forward Pierce, power forward Kelly, and center Henson.

Although Van Gundy has confirmed that Paul Gasol is the most suitable starting center for the Pelicans, he is also reluctant to let Henson go to his talent. In the substitute lineup, Van Gundy still gives Henson enough time to perform. As long as Henson himself is not stupid and wants to attack with the ball, he will give the opponent a chance. If Henson insists on performing his own steps, Van Gundy will immediately replace him.

The Cavaliers' substitute lineup is point guard Irving, shooting guard Matthew Dravidova, small forward Mike Miller, power forward Valejo, and center Mozgov.

Is the Cavaliers' substitute lineup strong? It's just a normal level of meanness when it hits. In this lineup, the Cavaliers' boss still feels that he has tried his best to find help for James, who is a betrayer.

The opening game was the Cavaliers' ball. The Cavaliers' game was as simple as ever and not complicated as ever. Mike Miller used his teammate's cover to go around the bottom line after passing the double cover, and took the ball and shot directly from a long shot.

As a result, the Pelicans are not slacking off at this time. The Pelicans are holding their strength to play a wave at this time. How could they give the Cavaliers a chance to score easily? So the Pelicans immediately rushed out, which immediately interfered with the Cavaliers' attack.

Mike Miller missed the shot at the beginning, and the Pelicans' defensive intensity at the beginning also made it clear. It was obvious that the Pelicans' defensive intensity was.

David Blatt secretly called out a bad thing. If he continues to play like this, his team will be over. Charles Barkley in the commentary seat also said:

"The Pelicans' defense intensity at the beginning of the second quarter was so strong, and they left Li Feng on the court. What do they want to do?"

What are you doing? The Pelicans' idea is Sima Zhao's heart, so David Blatt immediately turned around and shouted at the players, defending, defending.

The Cavaliers' lineup is average, relying on James. How did they become a strong Eastern Conference team? Because of defense, once the offensive end is not smooth, the Cavaliers immediately strengthened their defense on the side.

The Cavaliers' defense is different from the Pelicans and the Heat. The Heat are brave, the Pelicans are dense and orderly, and the Cavaliers' defense is more inclined toward the resilient old Spurs. As soon as the Pelicans reach the opponent's half, they also encounter strong defensive pressure.

Faced with this pressure, Turner had no choice. He is now increasingly inclined to shoot a long three-pointer and pass the ball to Li Feng.

Li Feng had no way back when he got the ball. He could only fight hard with the opponent. He fought against the opponent's two defensive players. Li Feng finally got to the vicinity of the penalty area. After a glance, he happened to see Kelly, a kid, secretly ran behind him. Li Feng quickly passed the ball in the back of his head and still left the basketball outside the three-point line.

Kelly took the ball outside the three-point line but was a refreshing open position. Kelly took the ball and took the ball directly.

"Swish."

When the second quarter came back, the Cavaliers still couldn't do it. The Pelicans hit the iron while it was hot and made another three-pointer. In this way, the Pelicans were 3722 and led the Cavaliers by 15 points.

Although it is only the second quarter now, this pit is not small anymore. David Blatt was immediately anxious when he saw it. He turned around and immediately asked James to warm up and prepare to appear. Now is not the time to wait.

The team was pulled away so much. Irving was also a little anxious. It would be easier for a good team to really defend Irving. Irving is still the kind of draw player who prefers the sixth man. And like all draw players, he has poor shooting options and a scoring mode that relies heavily on the feel.

At this time, he chose to attack individually. He rushed over and dribbled under his crotch without caring about it, then suddenly dribbled towards the left, pulled up and threw it at a middle distance.

It makes no sense for Irving to fight Turner in this way, but now the Cavaliers are not discussing the truth. This guy scored as soon as he made a move. Irving finally made a contribution to the Cavaliers.

Irving scored, and before David Blatt could relax a little, he saw the Pelicans bit the Cavaliers' butt and chased after him.

The Pelicans' rhythm of biting the opponent's butt is really uncomfortable, but fortunately Paul Gasol went to rest at this time. The Pelicans lost their heavy weapons to attack the inside, and they could only float outside to attack in the half of the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers' defense is also very strong. He pushed Li Feng out desperately on the defensive end. At this time, Li Feng retreated backwards, but found that Henson finally played out his strengths. When the Cavaliers were pushing out, he quickly cut into the Cavaliers' inside line. Li Feng took the opportunity to keep the basketball over. Henson took a big step away from old Mozgov. Mozgov was too slow now and there was no footsteps and jumps of young players at all. He could only watch the opponent smash the basketball into his own basket with a slam dunk.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pelicans did not give the Cavaliers any chance. They came up with three-point shots and aerial relay, which made the Cavaliers a little confused.

Both David Blatt and James couldn't bear it anymore. When the second quarter started for only more than a minute, David Blatt immediately replaced Mike Miller and replaced James.

The Cavaliers really can't play without James.

James returned to the court and immediately got the basketball from the sideline. At this time, James knew very well that the team lacked attack now. The simplest way to attack was his own singles. So after James got the ball, he immediately pulled away and called Mozgov's cover. James flicked around Mozgov and kept flashing left and right, making the opponent unable to find a chance to defend. When Henson was hesitating, James made a mid-range jump shot through the cover, and James finally got two points when he came back.

However, the Cavaliers' situation was still extremely dangerous at this time, because just after James scored, the Pelicans' pursuit seemed to be like a wolf.

The Pelicans were too fast and too cold-blooded. They chased the Cavaliers and immediately launched an attack. Li Feng took the ball and pulled the ball slightly to the side and passed it to Kelly who was cutting up. Kelly rushed up bravely and immediately created a foul by the Cavaliers.

The Pelicans are really as fierce as wolves at this time, and they want to tear the Cavaliers to death without giving them any chance.

The Pelicans beat the Cavaliers in a while, and from the beginning to now, the Cavaliers have lost all their face.

James also felt a serious crisis at this time. The Cavaliers could lose today, but they could not lose so miserably.

James is unwilling to accept this result, so although James doesn't like the Cavaliers and plays him alone, he still has to pull the Cavaliers up now and cannot let the entire team lose too much.

Kelly made one of two free throws at the free throw line, and the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 14 points with 4026.

When the game reached this point, James came over and immediately started to get the ball in the backcourt. James got the basketball in the backcourt at this time, and it was obvious that James's body rhythm was a beat faster than before.

It was obvious that James had begun to exert force. When Li Feng saw this situation, he understood that the time to decide the winner was coming. If James turned over, there would be a chance. If James was suppressed, he would be basically dead.

So Li Feng immediately shouted:

"Double-team, give them double-team."

In the back of Li Feng, the two Pelicans players went out to double-team James crazy. James was the kind of player with a wide vision. Seeing that the double-team came, he immediately passed the ball to Mozgov who was receiving it.

Mozgov took the ball a little too much outside, and James immediately ran over with empty hands and got the basketball. At this time, it was too late for the Pelicans to double-team. James tilted his body and rushed towards the basket with an acceleration.

Li Feng went over to delay James, but when Li Feng flew over, James immediately threw the ball with both hands and screamed.

Li Feng's actions are indeed a bit suspicious of fouls. Now a player as big as James calls out. It's home court again, and the referee can only give Li Feng a foul. James actually scored two points by cheating the foul.

Li Feng felt that James was a bit rogue, but from a rational point of view, this is indeed the best way to score. Forced layup may not necessarily make a hit, and the shooting rate is trapped. Fraudulent foul can not only kill the opponent, but also get two points steadily, so cheating foul is a good skill to score points.

James made both free throws on the free throw line, and now James is starting to score in a more wise way.

Just after the Cavaliers scored, the Pelicans still advanced very quickly, and Knight came over and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng.

When Li Feng took the ball, he saw that the person who defended himself became James. The two of them directly faced each other. In fact, this is inevitable. Now both Cavaliers' outside players are very short, and only James can defend Li Feng.

At this time, James was defending very seriously against Li Feng and was extremely focused. The moment Li Feng took the ball, James immediately came down to harass him.

Li Feng quickly took the basketball back and quickly "slap the ball" behind his back. When the two dribbles behind him confused the opponent, Li Feng was suddenly pushed by the basketball from his crotch, turning from behind to the front of his body. Then Li Feng suddenly broke through to the right.

Li Feng uses fancy behind-the-scenes dribbling to play with James. It’s not that Li Feng wants to show his ball control skills, but that Li Feng knows that fighting against James is not the best way, and using skills is better. Just like James just cheated on himself, Li Feng also needs to fight against the opponent in a more efficient way.

Sure enough, Li Feng took the lead by fancy ball control. Having this half-step lead in the confrontation between Li Feng and James is already a big advantage. Li Feng threw a throw at the rebound as fast as possible every time he jumped.

Li Feng's throw hit the rebound and then easily fell into the basket. Li Feng and James each played one of each other.

This kind of competition between kings and kings made everyone excited. At the Quick Loan Center, the Cleveland fan group stood up to cheer for James.

"James, James, James."

The Quick Loan Center is full of fans chanting James' name, and Barkley and Kenny Smith also fell into a climax.

"Are you going to choose the King of the Stadium today? It's really exciting to see the direct match between Li Feng and James."

Kenny Smith was obviously so excited about it on the side.

Charles Barkley was also very excited at this time:

"This confrontation between Li Feng and James is destined to be full of passion and will inevitably be full of grudges. The fans of the two will definitely discuss it based on this."

Everyone in the United States is looking at the stadium with hot eyes, and the same is true in the country.

Xu Jicheng was also very excited in the domestic broadcast room:

"The confrontation between Li Feng and James is definitely one of the most wanted to see for fans. These two people have a rare confrontation. Although it cannot completely determine the team's victory or defeat, it has a huge impact on the team's morale, so Li Feng cannot lose at this time."

Passionate fans on the Internet and forums also put all their attention into the game.

At the beginning of the showdown between Li Feng and James, the two scored one goal each. At this time, the Cavaliers advanced again from the backcourt.

James started to get the ball in the backcourt. Before the Pelicans' halftime, he saw that the Cavaliers' players had already pulled all four corners away.

At this moment, the Cavaliers still have to use the easiest and most practical way to compete with the Pelicans.

James came up with the ball, and Mozgov immediately raised it up again to cover the high position. At this time, Mozgov's experience was effective. Mozgov saw an opportunity when he was moving, and he could block Li Feng and Henson. When he encountered such an opportunity. Mozgov immediately opened his arms and suddenly used the pick-and-roll suspected of moving cover to cover, which was suspected of being blocked by Li Feng and Henson.

After encountering such a good opportunity, James naturally would not let it go. He saw James killing directly from the middle, dodging Kelly in the air, and then changing hands and laying down to score two points.

James scored 4 points in a row, and the call from the Quick Loan Center began to rise.

Amid the calls from the Quick Loan Center, Li Feng also felt the fierce fighting spirit. James is indeed a good opponent.

Just after the Cavaliers scored, the Pelicans immediately chased from behind, and James chased Li Feng to defend.
