?The Trail Blazers still have a few tactics now that they fought Aldridge's single-handed challenge. This time, Lillard immediately started to single-handedly fight Knight.∷
In terms of physical fitness, Knight is not much worse than Lillard, but Lillard's rhythm control is something Knight cannot match.
?Just look at Lillard taking the ball, shaking the left, shaking the right, turning around and pretending to move, and then suddenly taking a step back and raising his hand to a middle distance. Lillard did this series of movements extremely smoothly.
The last opportunity was shaken and he took action firmly. Lillard's psychological quality was also strong. He took action between the inability to send out, and Lillard caught it in just a little gap.
?Lillard scored two points on Knight's head.
It felt a bit strange that Knight was scored by Lillard. The difference between people was so big, and Lillard's physical fitness was just average, but this sense of rhythm and technique was really helpless.
?Lillard showed a personal singles game, and the Pelicans turned around, but Li Feng got the ball but threw the basketball to Henson, who had been thirsty in the inside for a long time.
?Henson took the ball and played Robin Lopez alone, but unfortunately he had a poor pace and no advantage in his health. He still had a very poor three-no-touch attack.
Henson obviously made a mistake, but Li Feng felt very happy. Seeing that Henson played basketball, he often couldn't get the idea of blaming this guy.
But Henson made a mistake here, and the Trail Blazers were really good. Batum immediately took the ball at the bottom line and successfully played Roten alone.
The Trail Blazers still have the advantage in terms of the abundant firepower on the outside. Li Feng turned around and immediately committed a foul by McClum. When Li Feng was on the free throw line, Stotts replaced Matthews again.
Matthews of the Knicks is a running forward and guard swinger. He is known for his athletic ability, but Matthews plays a shooting guard at the Trail Blazers, mainly focusing on three-pointers who run without a ball.
?Among all known types of players, this type of player is not afraid of any type of defensive players, because the offensive success rate of this type of player has little to do with the defender, but it is only related to whether the teammates' pick-and-rolls are good and whether their own position selection is good.
Li Feng also hates players like defense the most. Players like defense often don’t use Li Feng’s tricks.
?Sure enough, Li Feng's free throw ended. The Trail Blazers advanced and Matthews immediately started running along the bottom line. Li Feng could only follow Matthews to run foolishly. Just when Li Feng was depressed, Robin Lopez came up and hit Li Feng, giving Matthews a momentary chance.
?And Matthews did not waste the opportunity, got the basketball, and in a strange but fast posture, he immediately put the basketball in the basket.
?Matthews actually made a three-pointer. Matthews' three-pointer was not stable. He was a player of the draw. He could make a few shots when he felt good, but he could miss them for a long time when he felt bad.
?Now Li Feng came to defend Matthews and made the opponent hit the ball. This made Li Feng feel very unhappy, so he arrived at the Trail Blazers' position. Li Feng immediately returned with a three-pointer, but Li Feng's three-pointer feel today was extremely rubbish.
?Li Feng's three-pointer shot was so crooked.
?Just when Li Feng made a three-pointer missed, the Trail Blazers immediately advanced with a fast break. The Trail Blazers are also a young team. The fast break is also very sharp, and the speed is very fast and reaches the Pelicans' half.
?When Li Feng came over to help defend Lillard desperately, Lillard turned around and passed the basketball to Aldridge who followed behind.
Aldridge took the ball and Li Feng saved it, but it was useless. Aldridge was much taller than him. Li Feng couldn't defend himself at all when he took action on the second floor. It felt really bad to let the opponent take action on his head.
?And what Li Feng couldn't stand was that after Aldridge shot, he didn't notice his eyes at all.
?Indeed, for a seven-foot-long man, Li Feng's defense is really nothing.
Li Feng was quite depressed. He turned to the Trail Blazers' half and was about to play with his back, but Li Feng doubled the team as soon as he got the opponent and passed the ball out by himself. Luo Teng missed the three-pointer.
Luo Teng has the ability to make three-pointers, but the three-pointers are not very fierce and are relatively easily disturbed. It is reasonable that he misses this long-range shot.
Luo Teng missed a three-pointer, but the Trail Blazers' counterattack immediately caught up. This time, Lillard broke through alone in front and then passed the ball to both sides. However, this time the person who shot became Batum.
Batum opened fire at the three-point line, and another three-pointer hit the Pelicans. In this way, Li Feng came back in the second quarter, not only did he not catch up with the score immediately, but instead made the Trail Blazers' firepower even more fierce.
There was a point difference between the two teams, but at this time it was even widened to more than ten points.
This result is a bit unacceptable to Van Gundy, but in fact, it is not unfair to be chased for points during this period.
The Trail Blazers played very well during this period. Lillard's leading role played. Aldridge can fight alone at low post, pass the ball, and follow up. The shooters outside are also accurate. Moreover, once Matthews runs, Li Fengkong's strength will not play much defensive role.
Under such circumstances, the Trail Blazers have no reason to play badly. In comparison, they encountered several problems on the Pelicans.
Li Feng's outside line is still in a flash, which means it is unstable. Apart from Li Feng, no one on the Pelicans can share the offensive responsibility. Kelly also encountered a respectable opponent on the inside line, so the Pelicans did not open up from inside and outside, and the rest of the role players also performed poorly.
More importantly, at this time today, the Pelicans were not very anxious in their mentality. After all, they had been winning for a long time, and they were indeed a little tired in their mentality, and young players were not suitable for playing a winning streak that lasted too long.
?For too long winning streaks, it is easy for young people to lose, forget their shortcomings, and not calmly examine the situation around them. At this time, the Pelicans have this feeling of being lost, so playing on the court is a bit boring, and it is natural to lose points.
Li Feng also felt the mentality of these young teammates at this time, and Li Feng also wanted to prove something with his actions, but he was alone on the court and was in a bad state. If he didn't fight to the death, he wouldn't change the situation.
Under such circumstances, the first half ended, and at the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers led the Pelicans by 13 points by 57 to 44.
Van Gundy also felt a little depressed. He felt that his team had the ability to defeat the opponent in one go, but now on the court, the team was so weak and powerless, which was a huge difference from the last game against the Cavaliers.
?But Van Gundy doesn't have many solutions, because this is a young team. Young teams make many mistakes and have unstable mentality, which are inevitable. These are all problems that will inevitably arise if there is a lack of experience and mental instability.
?Li Feng's performance was not excited enough today, which made Van Gundy a little helpless. Van Gundy hoped that Li Feng would reverse the game like a chicken blood. On the other hand, he didn't really hope that Li Feng would always reverse the game.
?Because Li Feng gets angry, the team has a chance to win, but Li Feng always gets angry, he is not an iron man, and Van Gundy is also afraid that Li Feng will be injured.
?In a dilemma. During the halftime break, Van Gundy entered the locker room without getting angry. Instead, he emphasized some defensive details and carved some of the details of the tactics.
Van Gundy made this arrangement. Li Feng knew it well on the side that Van Gundy was going to leave fate and would not force a winning streak.
The Trail Blazers defeated Li Feng in the first quarter and performed well in the second quarter.
?The second half started with a dozen points leading and restarted the game. Compared with the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans' performance was almost unreasonable.
?First of all, this is because the Trail Blazers are prepared to fight. The Pelicans have won several games in a row before. The Trail Blazers attach great importance to the Pelicans, so they have made a lot of preparations, such as not playing in one quarter by Li Feng.
?While the Pelicans, although Van Gundy emphasized, the Pelicans still have no intention of opening the Blazers.
?Mainly, although the Trail Blazers are a strong team in the league's youth army, the Trail Blazers are not really powerful. They have no superstars and no possibility of entering the finals, so the Pelicans are not very excited to play them.
?Although the Pelicans are also a youth team, the extremely popular Li Feng has received much attention and expectations from the team, which is not on the same level as the Trail Blazers.
So today the Pelicans are bored and have no energy.
When he came back in the second half, Van Gundy also realized that the team lacked passion, so he changed to Turner as the point guard and Thornton to play small forward. Although Thornton can carry and run, it can bring more vitality to the team. The inside line also retained the combination of Kelly and Henson. The vitality of these two people is also stronger than Paul Gasol and Al Jefferson.
Van Gundy deliberately emphasized the team's vitality, while the Trail Blazers are determined to seek stability, which is also Stotts' true nature.
The lineup is still Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, and Robin Lopez.
?The Trail Blazers started the game first in the second half, and the Trail Blazers played again in the old tune at the beginning, and they still wanted to start with Lillard.
?However, in the second half, in order not to waste Li Feng's resources, Van Gundy asked Li Feng to defend against Lillard and asked Turner to defend Matthews. Anyway, as long as a player who is able to run, it doesn't matter if he is in good health.
Lillard took the ball in the backcourt and saw that it was Li Feng in front of him. This guy's eyes lit up.
?Any strong man is eager to fight against the strong. No strong man on the court only likes to bully soft persimmons. A guy who can only bully soft persimmons cannot gain great skills on the court.
Lillard had known that Li Feng was powerful and was getting more and more powerful. He was gradually reaching the peak of his personal skills, so when he saw Li Feng at this time, he immediately came up to fight Li Feng alone.
?Lillard is very clear about his advantages and will also use his advantages to dribble under his crotch when facing Li Feng Lillard, shaking continuously, dribbling behind his back, avoiding direct physical contact with Li Feng.
Lillard used lightness and rhythm to compete with Li Feng, and Li Feng's advantage was weakened to the greatest extent. In this situation, Li Feng could only lower the center of gravity and waited conservatively to defend behind. Just when Li Feng was carrying it a little, Lillard suddenly took a step back and jumped outside the three-point line to take action.
Facing ordinary people, Lillard completed the attack when he did this level, and he would shake it out when he could get out of his phone, but Li Feng was not an ordinary person.
?Li Feng saw Lillard shooting. He immediately drove the third cheetah bouncing, and suddenly jumped up on the spot to block the basketball.
?It is futile for ordinary people to do this by blocking other people's basketballs through half a step, but when Li Feng flew, he really swept a little bit of the ball.
The basketball was swept, and its power suddenly became much smaller, and it became a three-for-tip and fell into Henson's hands.
?Henson immediately passed the ball strongly to Li Feng, asking Li Feng to drive the fast break. Li Feng also ran quickly towards the Trail Blazers' halftime with the ball.
But the Trail Blazers were well-chosen and they ran back quickly. When they arrived at the position, Lillard also chose to face Li Feng.
?At this time, Lillard had another basic understanding of Li Feng. He had already seen that Li Feng was a person who could break the rules. Some basketball knowledge and even physics knowledge were not easy to use for Li Feng.
Such people are definitely the most popular stars in the league.
Lillard also knew at this time that he could not compete with him based on his body alone. The two people were basically two species.
?Although Lillard is confident and has strong abilities, he is also very calm. He understands a lot of things in just one confrontation. His IQ is also enough.
However, Li Feng was already teased by Lillard and became excited. After driving for a moment, he dribbled across the line in front of Lillard and shook continuously. Suddenly, a breakthrough from the left flew into the basket.
?Li Feng's speed was obviously different from Lillard. How to say it, Li Feng rushed out at this step, as if he was sliding on the ice. The location changed suddenly.
After Lillard instantly, when Aldridge and the pounce came, Li Feng made a fake shot. Aldridge raised his hand and Li Feng passed Aldridge through his armpit, made a layup and sent the basketball to the Trail Blazers' basket.
Once Li Feng's extraordinary ability is revealed, it will give people the impression that he will never forget.
?Li Feng was very satisfied with playing such a ball, and his mood suddenly became much better.
?When he returned to his half, Lillard drove the ball to him again. Although Lillard had seen Li Feng's speed and bounced, Lillard still wanted to hit Li Feng.
Because Lillard has an advantage in his hard attack, as long as he integrates his own advantages, he will definitely find a gap and kill Li Feng with one blow, even if Li Feng is Superman.
Lillard is such a player, calm, confident, independent, and able to judge the situation. Even if he is temporarily at a disadvantage, he will not be discouraged. Instead, he will find opportunities and find ways to play the game well.
?When Lillard faced Li Feng, he chose to shake the crotch continuously. Li Feng waited patiently. Lillard made a big move. Sure enough, after shaking twice, Lillard suddenly dribbled the ball forward and gave Li Feng half his body.
When Li Feng took this opportunity to squeeze Lillard, Lillard suddenly dribbled behind the ball, took a step back, and then looked up at it.
Li Feng thought that Lillard was going to shoot, which was indeed a shooting opportunity. Just when Li Feng was about to jump and his feet were stiff, Lillard broke through half of Li Feng's body, and then flew out and threw the one-handed throw to the Pelicans' basket.
?Lillard used his wonderful performance to score points for the team, and there were cheers on both sides of the stadium. This was the home court of the Trail Blazers.
Li Feng got two points by Lillard, and he also wanted to cheer for Lillard in his heart. The main reason is that Lillard is too courageous and skillful. He did not use any strong body or any big moves. He just completed the attack on Li Feng through simple ball control, fake movements, and rhythm control. Li Feng did not have many ways to deal with him.
?From the skills and rhythm control alone, Li Feng thinks he is not as good as Lillard, and the sense of rhythm is also a talent.
Lillard's successful attack on Li Feng also aroused Li Feng's interest in Lillard. When Li Feng got the basketball again, Van Gundy was a little happy because Li Feng started dancing alone.
?In this way, his offensive problem can be solved, but when Li Feng took the ball over, the Trail Blazers' defense changed.
Batum opened a net behind Lillard and assisted Lillard in the back instead of letting Lillard defend alone.
