Chapter 935 The closest championship

At this time, Van Gundy sat in his position. He knew clearly that his first step had been successful. Then as long as everything went well, the game fell into his plan. As long as Lopez emerged in the second quarter, he would immediately concentrate his firepower to eliminate Lopez. At that time, Lopez would still not be able to stay on the court for much time.

The Pelicans will always maintain pressure on Lopez, and he won until he left the court with six fouls in the end. Van Gundy had already planned all the plans.

When Garnett was unable to play, today's game against the Nets was not as good as Brooke Lopez. As long as there was no Lopez, the Nets lost most of the rebounds and most of the inside defense. At that time, the Pelicans were the master of the game.

Lopez played late in the second quarter, and appeared on the court in the fifth minute of the second quarter, which was already Kidd's limit. However, when Lopez appeared on the court, the Pelicans immediately mobilized their own heavy firepower group, Li Feng, Arenas, Al Jefferson, and Thornton. These heavy firepowers took turns to attack the Nets' inside line.

Although Kid sent Mason Plumley to help Lopez share the responsibility, Mason Plumley himself was quickly beaten to four fouls. Kid could only temporarily replace Mason Plumley. He replaced Lopez with a new bodyguard, which was Mizatelitovic, but the role of this bodyguard was obviously not as good as Mason Plumley.

When he got to the court, he couldn't figure out his own defensive position and wanted to protect Lopez, so three minutes later, Thornton rushed in quickly and got another foul.

The whistle sounded, and Mizatelitovic hurriedly raised his hand to signal the referee that it was his foul, but the referee clearly saw that Mizatelitovic was 2 meters away from Thornton.

At this time, the referee decisively gave Lopez a third foul. At this time, the Pelicans' home court, Consaica Center immediately cheered. But Kidd roared again.

His Lopez has only played for 4 minutes, it's only 4 minutes, and then it's about to end?

At this time, he secretly hated Mizatelitovic and then began to hate the team's management. It would be great if he had a few more blue-collar workers in the inside line, and he wouldn't have to become like this, but now everything is too late.

Lopez seemed very calm at this time. He lowered his head and walked to the bench quickly, and then sat there with his head in his mouth. This image was different from what Lopez said before the game. At least until now, Pelicans fans have not seen any means Lopez used to deal with the Pelicans.

The most thrilling tiebreak battle in the finals was not as intense as people imagined, nor was it difficult to distinguish. The Pelicans seemed to have become a massacre for the Nets again. The Pelicans were like a calm and cold tank, acting step by step, without any hesitation or pity, and eroding everything about the Nets a little bit.

The Nets are fighting guerrilla little by little, like guerrilla warfare, using various methods to avoid the Pelicans' edge, and then they are waiting for an opportunity to attack.

In the first half, the Nets were in a stalemate with the Pelicans at the beginning, and the rest of the time they were like the guerrillas encountered a regular army and dodged and fought while dodging.

The half-time game finally ended. The Pelicans led the Nets with a score of 53-40. The Nets seemed to have no chance at all, and the Pelicans looked like they would win the coveted O'Brien Cup.

In the midfield, Van Gundy was still very careful and said that he would not give the Nets any chance. He completely suppressed them in this game. This is our Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain. We want to completely eliminate the Nets in this game.

At the beginning of the second half, the Nets' main lineup finally returned at this time. Point guard Delon, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Anthony, power forward David Lee, and center Lopez.

The Pelicans' opening lineup is still point guard Oladipo, shooting guard Arenas, small forward Li Feng, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Henson.

The Pelicans were very calm and they were preparing to continue their game and were preparing to sweep the Nets out in today's game, but what they didn't know at this time was that Kidd was still preparing to take advantage of this dying counterattack over this short period of time.

Kidd knew very well that they had less time now, and even only had this last little time at the beginning of the third quarter. His team could play in full. This was his short opportunity. If he took advantage of this opportunity, the team would win back a little bit and then slowly take it. However, if he did not win back the situation during this period, then his difficulty would be even greater in the subsequent games.

Kidd himself knew this very well, so during this period, the order he gave to his team was very firm, to attack me to fight to death, and to attack me to fight to death no matter what the price he paid.

He has special requirements for Lopez. Without being sure, Lopez can let some opponents enter the inside. This is Van Gundy's last instructions.

The Nets returned to the court, starting with the Pelicans. When the Pelicans saw Lopez, they rushed towards the inside. At this time, the Nets suddenly contracted and contracted very firmly. The mid-range shot and three-point line were left to the Pelicans. They obviously gave up the important line of the three-point line in order to protect Lopez.

When the Pelicans players saw this, Arenas instinctively tried to fire outside the three-point line.

Arenas tried to fire and shot out the three-pointer. Without anyone, Arenas hit the Nets' basket accurately. Arenas allowed the Nets to taste the consequences of letting go of the general, but the Nets don't care about this at all now, and their entire team has become very dangerous.

At this time, Kidd was betting, Lopez was betting, and the entire Nets were betting, and they bet on their own luck. Kidd was very brave to bet gamblers in many cases. Now his team is on the verge of life and death, he still seized the last little time to turn the bill.

After holding back Arenas' first strike, the Nets immediately launched an attack. At this time, the Nets' players had a sense of solemnity in the noisy Konsaika center, which was a kind of determination for the team on the edge.

This made the Nets players more determined. It was time for even Li Feng to find more things in Delong's eyes. That was the final struggle.

Deron was obviously very active at this time, and the same was true for other players of the Nets. These guys were weaving nets from the top of the Pelicans' arc to the two wings, like spiders. They crafted a large net, and these players kept walking, covering, running, covering, and then continuing to pass the ball.

This is a complicated half-court offense, and Kidd seems to be particularly good at it. Later, when he coached the Bucks, he still played this hand beautifully.

After continuous cover, Delong used his teammate's cover to run to the bottom line and ambushed the ball and dribbled in one step. Then he made a quick stop jump shot. The movements were not beautiful, but there was a decisive monograph in every move and even the eyes.

This monograph made Deron's shooting particularly accurate, and a clean and beautiful jump shot hit the Pelicans' basket.

At this time, not only Li Feng felt the final decisive auspiciousness of Delong and the entire Nets, but even Van Gundy felt that the Nets' basketball is now more monotonous and more decisive than in the first half. If they don't take action, they will die. They have nothing to hesitate.

Bill Walton also said in the commentary seat

"It looks like the Nets are almost completely different from the first half when they return to the court."

Albert, as Bill Walton's partner, said at this time:

"Bill. You have to know that this may be the last game for the Nets. They are destined to struggle. I hope the Pelicans can withstand the Nets' last survival blow."

Bill Walton said at this time:

"It depends on the Pelicans' mentality now. If you grasp the mentality well, you may not be able to win even if you fight with the Nets, but if you handle it stupidly, it will cause the team to be confused for a while."

Li Feng dribbled over and watched the Nets all huddle near the three-second zone. This defense was almost equivalent to joint defense. And it was the deadliest kind of joint defense. There were only two ways to destroy joint defense, either the low-post attack from the inside or the forced attack from the outside.

Given that Arenas performed well at the three-point line in the last round, Li Feng immediately passed the basketball to Arenas's hand, but Arenas wasted this opportunity. Even Arenas could not make every shot. This was shooting, not shooting.

Arenas' basketball did not make a shot, and the basketball was immediately snatched by players crowded by the Nets under the basket. The Nets got the backcourt rebound again. The Nets, which got the backcourt rebound, surprisingly did not use the fast offense to attack the Pelicans, but proceeded in an orderly manner with the half-court advance.

This pace is indeed a bit slow for the Nets, but now it is more intense and makes people feel the final struggle of the Nets. This is a powerful force, and the entire Nets are making the final struggle for this effort.

The Nets' offense still lacks the kind of players who can be rooted in the opponent's low post in the half court. Only with such players can the Nets control the situation. However, the Nets' offense now seems very stable, without the core of the inside line. Their half-court offense is just about running and down ball skills.

But now the Nets have brought this technique to the extreme level. The basketball is constantly flying out of the Nets' players and then back to their own hands. After a few fine passes, the basketball suddenly comes to David Lee near the basket.

David Li is not the kind of insider's giant who can rely on, nor is it a monster insider. David Li is just an all-rounder. He has a long range, can be low and can be outside, and can even organize two tricks. If such a player appears on a team's substitute list, it is a treasure of panacea, but when he appears in the position of the main power forward, it will make people feel that this person is not enough at any time.

But now David Lee got the basketball. Facing Al Jefferson's defense, he made an action that was not a power forward at all. This is not the key. The key is that David Lee seemed so natural when he did such an action, without any hesitation. He got the basketball and dribble in two consecutive crotch, both of which were backwards. In this way, Al Jefferson looked at David Lee a little stunned and dribbles in front of him like a juggling. Then he took off and leaned back to shoot.

The power forward David Lee is playing completely with the small forward's movements, and he plays so confidently and smoothly. This feeling is even somewhat inconsistent with the current form of the Nets, but the real thing is that David Lee really hit the basketball, and he also played very easily.

At this time, whistles blew on both sides of the court. Li Feng glanced at Al Jefferson and immediately got the basketball at the bottom line. Since the Nets lowered the rhythm, he had reason to do so.

Li Feng's ball control was not fast enough to suppress the rhythm, and then he immediately looked at the inside line at the half-time of the Nets. The best way to open the turtle shell was to start from his tenderest part. The first landing point Li Feng chose was Al Jefferson.

Li Feng quickly passed the basketball from the outside to Al Jefferson in the inside. At this time, Al Jefferson's position was not good, but it was not too bad. He actually received the basketball from a big step away from the three-second zone.

This was on the verge of the Nets' huddle defense. Al Jefferson got the basketball. He was immediately harassed by the players of the Nets who were huddled in this small space. Attacking in such a dense position, it was not technology, but a more powerful and aggressive attack. Al Jefferson had a step back towards the inside and was immediately surrounded by the Nets' wolves. Al Jefferson, who was surrounded, tried hard to pass the basketball. After bypassing several arms, Al Jefferson finally passed the basketball out.

At this time, Li Feng received the basketball outside the three-point line. There were no other players in front of him. At this time, Li Feng rose up and threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

It's a three-pointer. It's Li Feng's own three-pointer. Although this is not what he wants, it is indeed a good opportunity for a three-pointer. Perhaps Li Feng's luck is really bad today. Perhaps the Pelicans' luck is really not very good today.

The basketball shot by Li Feng hit the Nets very badly and then quickly rebounded back. Li Feng's three-pointer was also over. At this time, Li Feng closed his eyes. It was really bad.

This is not the worst. The basketball was quickly caught by the Nets players and quickly dribbled to the Pelicans' half. The Nets used the technique of passing the ball from outside to the almost artistic level again. Anthony ran quickly at the bottom line, and then turned around and made a mid-range shot.

At this time, the Nets had made continuous attacks, while the Pelicans had made continuous mistakes.

This is a very dangerous signal. Although the Pelicans have temporary advantages from the perspective of the situation, this advantage is not obvious, and it cannot reflect the Pelicans' inside strategy at all. The consequence is that the Nets are competing with their own offensive shooting percentage.

If this is the case, the final consequence will depend on the genius to know. This is not what the Pelicans want. The Pelicans' goal is to steadily get rid of Lopez and then win the game steadily. This is what the Pelicans need to do.

And how to get rid of Lopez and how to attack the Nets' inside line is the important thing. At this time, Van Gundy quickly called a timeout and called his players back. He was unwilling to make the indulgent mistake of the first game again.

All the Pelicans players came back and sat on the bench, then Van Gundy squatted in front of his players with a tactical board, and quickly drew a block in the basket area.

"This is the Nets' defense. Their defensive strategy is very simple. They give up most areas around protecting the three-second zone. This is a way that looks stupid, but is not very effective in our hands."

"Now we want to defeat the Nets, we need to develop a tactic similar to a triangle offensive. On one side, there are more troops than the opponent in a local area, and then accelerate the players' transfer on the strong and weak side, and then accidentally hit them casually."

"And our offensive goals will be clearer, only the inside, our goal is only the inside, and there are shooting near the three-second zone. If the Nets want to fight with us in a narrow area, I believe many of you will have a way to attack in a more reasonable area and attack in a more threatening place. Don't be afraid of playing small. Since the Nets want to play small, we will satisfy them."

"In defense, the Nets mainly rely on the transmission of the ball. In this way, we pay attention to cutting off their passing route when defending. The main ones are Anthony and Joe Johnson. Their offensive firepower is very strong, and once the opponent has a dead ball, they will grab it hard for me."

Van Gundy quickly arranged the tactics, and the game began immediately. The Pelicans players returned to the court. At this time, Van Gundy rubbed his head. The head coach had two parts that could only be the core, one was the design and arrangement of the tactics, and the other was the on-site response of the court. Of course, it was also a very important lesson for the team's psychological adjustment.

But now the people of our team are very neat, and what we need is not psychological adjustments, and tactical training is also very complete. What the team needs most now is on-the-spot command.

After returning to the court, the Pelicans immediately played a tactic that was very similar to a triangle offense. Don’t think that in the league, only the Lakers are using triangle offense. In fact, some tactics are common in each team, and triangle offense often appears on the tactical boards of some teams.

The Pelicans play triangle offense. The most important point in the triangle must be Li Feng, so Li Feng dribbled the ball to the Nets' halftime and immediately passed the basketball to Arenas on one side, and then he immediately got into the Nets' three-second zone.

In this area, the Nets players pushed and pulled Li Feng. Li Feng encountered a strong defense, but Li Feng was like a small tank at this time, waving his arms, twisting his butt, knocking away the Nets players, and then forced himself to get stuck at the Nets' low post. At this position, Arenas immediately passed the ball near the bottom corner, and Oladipo hung up at the low post.

The basketball immediately reached the hands of Li Feng, who was in the low post. The basketball reached the tip of the triangle. The Nets players immediately rushed towards Li Feng, but at the same time, Arenas Al Jefferson and Oladipo Henson's position was changing rapidly.

In an instant, Henson ran to Li Feng to pick up Li Feng. At the same time, the other three players appeared on the other side, and the transfer of the strength and weakness side was completed, but the Nets' defense heavy force was still placed on Li Feng.

This is the role of a sharp point. Without a strong sharp point, the triangular attack can usually form in a region with more and less. This is the chain effect caused by this super-capable sharp point.

Li Feng was double-teamed and couldn't see the route, but it didn't matter. He passed the basketball to Henson. After Henson got the basketball, he immediately moved to the weak side. Arenas, who cut into the inside, stopped instantly and took action in the three-second zone. At this distance, Arenas was much more confident than at the three-point line.

The basketball fell into the Nets' basket with ease, and the Pelicans completed their own triangle offense.

The ball was hit, but the eyes of the Nets fans present or those watching the game at home immediately twitched. This is the most familiar triangular offense for Nets fans. Now it has become a weapon for others to clean up themselves.

Things are so strange. Today, you may be a pauper, but tomorrow you may become prosperous. Today you may be in a prosperous state, but no one can guarantee what it will become in more than ten years.

The world is actually changing very quickly. The Pelicans Triangle offense finally cracked the Nets' turtle shell defense. Van Gundy smiled on the sidelines, but he smiled very proudly.

Kidd was a little helpless. He stood up and looked at the offense, and then made adjustments for not long. He knew that he had not been able to drink the Pelicans for too long. Originally, the strongest thing about the Nets was the depth of the lineup, but lacked the most critical Garnett, and Lopez was also beaten. At present, the situation is likely to collapse at any time and there is no strength to play a protracted battle.
