At the beginning of both sides, Li Feng sat on the court waiting for substitutes to play. The opening game was the Pelicans' ball. Before the troops moved, Li Feng felt that the Grizzlies had no sense of dejection after the second quarter. Instead, they were very calm, and they were not ordinary calm, but surprisingly calm...

Seeing this situation, Li Feng felt instinctively bad. With such surprisingly calm teams, they are all teams that can make people feel powerful and cannot be used. Ross threw the ball to Millsap very casually. Millsap still received the ball from the waist in the three-second zone. Today, this is almost his winning point.

As soon as the ball arrived here, Millsap was about to start attacking, but as soon as Millsap's ball was lifted, he saw Randolph sticking to him very hard. Seeing his senior sticking up desperately, Millsap's mouth tilted. He knew that the gap between him and Old Randolph was there, so he followed Zach Randolph and Millsap and jumped out vertically. Millsap originally planned to throw Randolph away in one step.

But Millsap jumped out of this step, and he immediately found that Marc Gasol was waiting for him behind Randolph. After he jumped out, when all the changes were old, he had to face Marc Gasol's defense.

It turned out that the Grizzlies actually made a double defense against Millsap. At this time, Millsap was completely unable to face Gasol Jr. The suppression ability of Gasol Jr. was very strong at the peak of defense. Millsap had no changes in front of Gasol Jr., and he could not fight for forced attack.

The most correct way of playing should be passing, but Millsap's playing in front was too smooth. This extreme favorable situation made him think that he could do anything, and no matter how big the difficulties he faced, it would not stop his scoring. Even in this situation, Millsap still had to face to face and score on Marc Gasol's head forcibly.

Recklessness and arbitraryness are only a line between miracles. This makes people easily think that if you score, you will be a good goal, but there is an invisible condition to create miracles, that is, you are a person who can create miracles.

Millsap is a very good striker, but he is definitely not the kind of person who can create miracle basketball. Facing Marc Gasol's defense, his forced attack just made Marc Gasol's huge hot pot cover. At this moment, Millsap's originally high morale immediately turned into my dusty regret.

And that's not counting. The most fatal thing is that the basketball fell into Billups' hands. The Grizzlies' counterattack suddenly surged up at this moment, contrary to the previous slow Grizzlies' style of playing.

The Grizzlies' speed suddenly accelerated, contrary to their usual slow style. The Pelicans were a little unacceptable!

When the Pelicans retreated desperately, there was a little scattered in the formation. Conley is a typical traditional point guard who can't be more traditional. He rushed towards the Pelicans' half with Ross.

At this time, Ross' usually chubby figure could not stop Conley's invasion under Conley's muscles, and he was knocked back step by step. Although Ross, who could not stop him at all, was at a loss now, he was not very angry because the team was still ahead for the time being.

But at this time he didn't understand Conley's state of mind at all. Conley has now put all his energy into it, and now the Grizzlies have understood that this game is definitely different from ordinary games. At least it has a different meaning for the Pelicans.

To overturning the Grizzlies is like stepping on a big enemy, a milestone of resurrection.

Conley ran quickly and suddenly stopped in an emergency.

Ross took a big step back inertia, but he didn't keep up with Conley at all, so he could only watch Conley stand outside the three-point line a little bit and jump up gently.

Conley's shooting moves were not beautiful, and his shooting percentage was not high, but at a critical moment in the game, no one could underestimate the defender's moves.

"Swish!"

Conley suddenly stopped and shot a cold gun at the edge of the three-point line. According to various basketball theories, this kind of fast attack has no response in front and no change of moves, which is all unreasonable.

But often this unreasonable blow is the most violent. After Conley made a three-pointer, the court palace finally cheered, which was the atmosphere that the court should have.

In fact, the Grizzlies were already surging at the beginning of the third quarter, but the Pelicans still did not realize the mystery, just like a disease, it would only make people notice once it explodes completely.

The Pelicans were from the baseline, and Ross wanted to dribble the ball to the frontcourt as if it were in the first half and organize the offense, but he saw that Conley had completely different defensive pressure on himself, which made him very deadly.

Ross is a street ball base with excellent ball control skills. The more he is pressed by Kang's body, the more he is trying hard to use his own ball control skills to protect the ball. Moreover, at the Grizzlies' half, Ross was also interested in dribbling the ball towards the Grizzlies' free throw line, intending to use his ball control skills to squeeze the Grizzlies' defense.

But Conley suddenly reached out to Ross' side and reached out to Ross' side, and clicked Ross' Earth. After Conley pointed out Ross' Earth, he rushed over and copied the ball into his hand, then turned around and killed towards the Pelicans' position.

As soon as the ball came, Van Gundy felt something was wrong! He shouted loudly to his players:

"Quick! Return to defense, hurry, return to defense!"

Van Gundy's voice was very loud. Several Pelicans' players were just beaten into a fast attack by the Grizzlies, and now they are a little careful. So although Conley and the Grizzlies' attack speed this time were very fast, they did not fight to a positional battle.

The Grizzlies were famously playing rigorously and reasonably in the first half, and two baseline covers ran out one after another. Tony Allen got stuck in the waist position in the three-second zone on the left. Arenas behind him obviously lacked defensive experience, and Tony Allen did not stick to death at all.

Conley is definitely not the kind of player who has a fancy pass ability, but the timing and techniques of passing are first-class. Tony Allen has the position in one card and the tactics can be implemented. Tony Allen knocks the earth into Tony Allen's hand with his left hand.

Because Arenas' defense was not very good, Tony Allen had room to swing, and Tony Allen dribbled backwards with the power of receiving the ball and took a step back. Tony Allen walked at this pace instead of squeezing Arenas but retreating back to the back. At this moment, he had planned to do it and had no place to fight to the death, and he could only follow Tony Allen to retreat.

This Tony Allen was not in a hurry. He dribbled backwards while walking slowly. As soon as Arenas used up his strength, Tony Allen took a big step back, which messed up Arenas' defensive rhythm. Then, Tony Allen turned around and took a step-down shot very casually.

He easily made two points on Tony Allen's head. The Grizzlies' chase was definitely not like the rushing and enthusiastic team that was bombarded, but slowly scored two points and two points. While oppressing you with defense, he used offense to eat you. This is a slow-killing method.

After the Grizzlies hit these two points, the audience and Van Gundy on the sidelines had already felt that the Grizzlies began to fight back, and the Grizzlies' huge basketball machine began to counterattack.

The momentum on the field can be felt. The Grizzlies' counterattack was unfolded in an invisible way in people's eyes. Millsapur also felt the Grizzlies' counterattack. He even felt that the Grizzlies' counterattack was more surging than before.

Millsapur gritted his teeth. He was ready to use his strength to hold the team on the body and let the team get through this difficulty, so at the bottom line he said to Ross while the ball was on the ball:

"Give me the ball after you go. I'll get them."

Although Ross had just been put on a trick by Conley, now seeing Millsap, who was in good condition, stretched out his hand to him, he still couldn't refuse and nodded. He dribbled the ball carefully and walked towards the Grizzlies' half.

At this time, the fans on the court also felt that this seemed to be a critical moment in today's game. As soon as the Pelicans fans got the ball, they began to boo in groups, trying to put psychological pressure on the Pelicans players. The booing fans from away games were indeed under great pressure on the Pelicans after they got the ball, but Ross was extremely careful to let go and handed over the ball to Millsapur in half.

Millsapur received the ball 45 degrees on the right. Other Pelicans players completely opened the space for Millsapur. Now the fate of the entire team seems to be handed over to Millsapur. This feeling of carrying the team with one person is pursued by all players, but this is also a dangerous path. Success can become a hero admired by thousands of people. Once they fail continuously in key battles, they will become a sinner in the eyes of fans. Millsapur also knows this. When he held the basketball, his heart was shaking uncontrollably. Today it all depends on his own.

It was the desire for honor and the instinct for victory. Millsapur finally took action, cut into the right side, and then pulled it in quickly, with quick and accurate steps and solid steps. It didn't seem like it was an action on the basketball court, but it seemed like a dance with unique charm.

As a defensive partner, Randolph was completely thrown away and forgotten. Today, Millsapore's fighting spirit from his body to his will is incomparable. He turned to shoot and Millsapore easily shot the ball, but the booing on the court did not decrease by a minute. Even Zach Randolph, who did not defend Millsapore, couldn't help but glance at the corner of his mouth.

Today, my junior brother has really tried his best to do everything, but even so, can I make them successful? Ralandov's bearded man shook his mouth.

Conley also saw Millsapol's wonderful performance just now, and he was a little shaken. He had completely felt that Millsapol today has been completely perfectly integrated in both physically, willfully, and even technically. Today's game is destined to be Millsapol, but does this mean that the Grizzlies will become a stepping stone for the Pelicans? Conley's answer is: No.

The Grizzlies' running position this time was a bit weird. They did not play a lot of bottom line covers and wings, but instead placed Randolph in a high position to cover continuously. This was definitely a strange move.

The misalignment happened in an instant, Prince led Millsapur to take a step back, while Zach Randolph, who had made cover, took a step back to the side and walked out of the three-point line.

Big guys flying kites are almost a taboo for some teams, but some people are talented but the main high-ranking gunners of the team. Millsapur and Randolph can be said to be of the same school and are very similar in technology. But if Randolph has any essential differences with Millsapur, it is talent.

As one of the best talented power forwards in the league, Randolph's talent is hard for many players to match. Whether in defense or offense, Randolph is not a player who relies entirely on his body, but this person is just a person who can stop first-class offensive players and has perfect firepower.

Mirsapur saw Randolph taking this step back, and he suddenly realized what he was going to have. When he wanted to chase him, he was blocked by Marc Gasol, who was already prepared.

He could only watch helplessly. Zach Randolph made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. Randolph's shooting was still his unique straight-arm method, but he could not be underestimated. The basketball was like a blade and entered the Pelicans' basket. With a swish, Millsapore's face was a little pale in the blink of an eye.

I must hold on to these guys.

After the third quarter, the Grizzlies suddenly changed their strength to attack and defend. As expected, the effect they received gave people the feeling that they were chasing the score little by little.

Seeing Randolph dropping a cold arrow outside the three-point line, Millsapur started to feel a little irrational and excited. He began to scream at Ross again, asking Ross to pass the ball to him again.

Mirsapur's performance today was indeed amazing. Ross undoubtedly had him. He dribbled the ball to Mirsapur again in the Grizzlies' half. Mirsapur held the ball and pushed it inward from outside the 45-degree mid-range shot area.

Millsapur squeezed Zachrandov step by step. Zachrandov is a countermeasure to be smart, and playing basketball depends more on talent, wisdom and experience.

So the landscape Mirsapur fights fiercely, but Randolph doesn't fight hard. First, he pushed Mirsapur hard and waited for Mirsapur's strength. Mirsapur's eyes are red now, and he is irrational. If he is irrational, he will handle the ball easily, and simple will give others a chance.

When Millsapol was about to turn around and attack, Zach Randolph seized the opportunity and took a step back slightly, and immediately removed Millsapol's attempt to rely on his own shooting.

Losing the expected push, Millsapur used all his strength as if he had punched the air. Instead, he was injured internally. He was also uncomfortable in shooting. His strength was too strong. He suddenly crossed the basket and shot a three-point shot.

As soon as Millsapol shot such a basket, he immediately felt like his face was burning. How could this happen? Looking at Randolph's sneering smile, recalling that Randolph had suffered a loss with his own experience just now, Millsapol felt uncomfortable.

Flying over the basket, he was caught in his hand by Marc Gasol behind him. Although Al Jefferson is the same All-Star as Marc Gasol, the two of them are still not the same type of players. In this area, the Pelicans are actually suffering losses.

Marc Gasol put the backcourt rebound into his arms and then immediately passed the ball to Conley. Now the Grizzlies' rhythm is obviously different from the first two quarters, and the entire rhythm has been accelerated a lot. Conley dribbling forward quickly led to the rhythm of both teams very fast.

At this moment, Conley finally began to play his key character and began to release him. He held the ball and pushed forward quickly along the middle lane. At this time, although Ross tried hard to defend, he could not withstand Conley. Seeing that his teammates could not withstand Li Feng could only come over to help and attack Conley in the middle lane.

Whether Conley attacked two or three, he would kill inward along the middle lane. Logically, this kind of reckless ball was definitely not Conley's style, but in fact it was indeed the case. Once Conley attracted a double attack, he turned straight to the middle lane and found an angle, and quickly passed the basketball out of the middle lane.

The straight-up has already run to Prince near the bottom corner. Prince received the ball outside the three-point line. He was not good at shooting three-pointers. Prince was good at shooting mid-range shots, but now at this position, Prince also shot a three-pointer.

This project that Prince was not very good at, but today showed Prince's accuracy, and one arrow pierced the heart and gave the Pelicans this fatal moment.

After Prince's three-pointer, the huge 17-point gap between the two teams was shortened to single digits at the beginning. This time, the Pelicans have no advantage at all.

Van Gundy also urgently stopped the game and now he had to re-arrange the game. The Pelicans players who walked back from the court looked completely different from those in the midfield. Now Millsapur was indignant, Ross was dejected by Conley, and Li Feng's face was gloomy.

Everyone's words back to the bench Van Gundy are:

"We underestimated our opponents, this is a fatal mistake."

But Albert said in the commentary seat on the scene:

"The Grizzlies' counterattack began. I didn't expect that the old Grizzlies would be so quick when they counterattacked, and the firepower of the entire team was amazing."

Derek Anderson also felt that the Grizzlies' counterattack just now was very exciting, and Conley's calm defense and needle threading were the essence of it. Anderson said:

"The Grizzlies' counterattack just now was great. I think the best part is Mike Conley."

"He is the kind of player who can mobilize the team to make many great decisions without being able to move. Only by being in the field can he see his great leadership skills, rather than seeing those fancy passes from the video of the game. If I were asked to choose my teammate, I would definitely choose this guy."

Derek Anderson said, pridefully raising his left hand.

On the other hand, Van Gundy made plans for his players to return to defense faster for the Grizzlies, and handed over the organization's tasks to Li Feng and Ross to share. Although he was a teammate, Van Gundy's instructions still made Ross a little dissatisfied.

Ross felt that he had the ability to organize the game well and had the ability to get more opportunities in the team. The Pelicans formulated a new strategy, but as soon as the players on both sides came on the court, Van Gundy immediately found that he was actually behind Robert Pera again. On the Grizzlies, Robert Pera also had new arrangements.

Larry Brown actually sent a relatively small lineup, point guard Conley, scoring defender Prince, small forward Mike Miller, power forward Neuer, and center Mark Gasol.

A typical lineup with one big and four small, basically no concept of power forward. Li Feng glanced at the lineup sent by Robert Pera, and he first thought about the situation when he came on the bench.

At that time, the Grizzlies will have three very powerful players appear in the substitute lineup, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, and Ed Davis. This is not easy to play in this group of substitute players. These three people appear in the substitute lineup. The Grizzlies will be more balanced and will not lose the balance between the main and the substitute when playing.

After reappearing on the court, the Pelicans' ball was right. Although Ross was a little reluctant, he passed the ball to Li Feng after crossing the center line, and Li Feng organized him to relieve pressure. Li Feng and Prince did not suffer any losses in confrontation. He was not under much pressure when organizing, but he did not have Ross' skillful ball control skills to suppress the Grizzlies' defense.

He can only play more conservative organizations and passes outside. Now the Pelicans are playing the big flag of Millsapol. Van Gundy personally guided the Pelicans' first offense. In the first time they played, the Pelicans sent Millsapol to the low post on the right through a series of pulling people and screens.

Now the Grizzlies have one big and four small, and only Marc Gasol can top the low post. In terms of defense alone, the pressure on Mir Sapur is completely greater than that of Zach Randolph.

Van Gundy designed the offense for Randolph when he was designing it. Now he has encountered Marc Gasol. Millsapol's excellent explosive power for Randolph is not worth mentioning. Under the powerful power of Marc Gasol, Millsapol could not squeeze in. (To be continued...)
