After that, Aldridge also missed the ball. He immediately realized something was wrong when he made a move. After landing, he rushed into the penalty area and prepared to make a self-shot and grab a tip-in.

But it was not that simple. Li Feng also entered with him. Originally, the rebound was from Robin Lopez, but the two of them mixed up. The ball that Robin Lopez encountered was picked up by Li Feng. Gasol, who was one step late, picked up the advantage and caught the rebound.

When the Pelicans attacked, Turner made another long shot from outside the three-point line, making a three-pointer like stabbing a sword in the heart of the Trail Blazers.

Now the Pelicans' lead reached double digits. Tristots was anxious and quickly called for a timeout. He replaced Afraido on the field, and the Trail Blazers' best sixth man came on the field.

Van Gundy also replaced players in time, Turner came out and Thornton appeared.

Thornton stared at Affrado specifically, and the latter got the ball, and Thornton pressed against him. Affrado flew and then took a quick step, killing forward like a whirlwind.

Thornton's defense is known for his iron-bloodedness. His speed and explosive power are even better than Afrado. He was not thrown away after following him. During this period, he pushed him twice. Afrado finally broke into the penalty area. When he threw his hand and made a layup, he was almost blocked by Thornton. The ball turned and bounced out in the ring.

Seeing this, Li Feng followed from behind and grabbed the ball.

Turning around, Thornton responded, and he also broke through the layup. Affrado's body limitation made him feel like he was asked for when facing excellent controls such as Marshall and Paul. He was indeed very fast, but he didn't move quickly enough, so that once the opponent changed direction, he would be easily thrown away.

Thornton used a change of direction to deal with him. Avrado couldn't bear it anymore. Li Feng stuck Aldridge and gave up a breakthrough for Thornton. In the end, Robin Lopez made a foul, which curbed Thornton's breakthrough dunk.

After making both free throws, Thornton chose to break through again. He forced Avrado to enter the inside and made a layup with a low hand, scoring four points in a row.

Affrado's offense was very fierce, and he countered a breakthrough layup. Since then, the Pelicans have repeatedly launched fast breaks, Thornton made a layup, and Li Feng made a layup. After the first quarter, they led their opponents by 29-18.

In the second quarter, Tristots had to replace the unlucky Robin Lopez with Miles Leonard, who had already committed two fouls.

Miles Leonard came on the court in fear. Seeing him, Li Feng laughed.

The Trail Blazers have the right to play basketball, Aldridge chose to play singles to Li Feng, and the team's offense was not effective in the first quarter, so he, the boss, had to bear the main responsibility.

Breakthrough is of course useless. Li Feng's speed and explosive power are much stronger than Aldridge, so he chose to hit the back, "bang", "bang", "bang", and "bang", and the sound of body impact sounded under the basket. Aldridge slapped the ball with one hand and hit it hard with his shoulders.

Li Feng took a few steps in a row, but just after Aldridge rushed into the penalty area, he suddenly exerted force, making Aldridge unable to move anymore. On the outside, Gasol and Kelly had already made a move to cover up.

Aldridge was anxious. This was really fucking unlucky. This position was on the edge of the penalty area, and he could not enter or exit.

Lillard was prepared for a long time. He cut in from the middle. Aldridge hurriedly passed the ball. After getting the ball, Lillard threw it directly out of the three-point line. Avrado took the knife and cut the three-pointer.

This offense shows Lillard's skills. Before he picked up his teammates, he had already figured out how to score. Just like in the chess competition, the real masters are the next three steps to watch.

When the Pelicans attacked, Marshall made a gesture to Li Feng, and the latter immediately pulled out of the inside, which meant to create a singles opportunity for Thornton.

Thornton ran in, Avrado wanted to chase him, but Li Feng stuck him. Miles Leonard waved his arms to block Thornton. His physical fitness declined sharply. Thornton was as fast as an electric rabbit, duddu, and the person disappeared.

Marshall passed the ball, Thornton rushed to the penalty area and then turned around and easily sent the ball into the ring.

Tristots shook his head helplessly. The team's defense was terrible, which was also the reason that restricted the Trail Blazers from winning the championship. Their lineup looked very dazzling and performed very dazzlingly when attacking, but they did too badly when defending.

There was a problem on the defensive end, and the Trail Blazers seemed to make up for it on the offensive end. Aldridge took Li Feng away from the outside, and Miles Leonard supported Gasol to open up space in the penalty area.

Lillard quickly calculated in his heart. He felt that Miles Leonard had an advantage in playing Gasol, so he passed the ball in.

Miles Leonard wanted to knock Li Feng away and make a dunk, so his value would definitely increase sharply. But he also knew that this was a daydream, which was impossible, so he lowered his goal and changed it to knock Gasol down.

However, this is also impossible.

Miles Leonard hit back, Gasol screamed and flew backwards. The referee walked up coldly and gave Miles Leonard an offensive foul.

Myles Leonard felt that he had been insulted in both his IQ, EQ and ball quotient, so he chased the referee to explain that the referee didn't care about minions like him, insisted on making a penalty, and gave the Pelicans the right to the ball.

When the Pelicans attacked, Marshall waved his hand again to signal Li Feng to leave the penalty area to create an opportunity for Thornton.

Thornton ran in from the three-point line, and Miles Leonard and Avrado went to intercept him. The two formed two lines of defense, one high and one short, one slow and one fast, just blocking Thornton.

As a result, Thornton did not pay attention to the attack. Li Feng's cross-cut gave him a better chance. He picked the ball in his hand on the ring, and a huge figure rose up from the ground and waved to take off the ball.

With the ball in his hand and slashed on the floor, Li Feng stepped into the penalty area, and he jumped up toward the ring like a sharp arrow.

Successfully dunked.

The Pelicans went crazy, and then Batum used Lillard's pass to the basket. Miles Leonard hurriedly blocked Li Feng and created a scoring opportunity for his teammates.

He underestimated Li Feng's fighting spirit today, and Batum also underestimated this.

Seeing Batum ready to take action, Li Feng's muscles were tightly tense when he saw that he was stuck by Miles Leonard. His body suddenly leaned forward, crushing Miles Leonard like a tank, and pushing him all the way to the penalty area.

Then, an eagle-like body flew into the air. Li Feng aimed at the ball raised by Batum with his big hand and slapped it on:

"Get out!"

With a huge roar like a thunderbolt, Li Feng nailed the ball to the rebound.

This momentum blocking completely shocked the fans of the audience. Stotts was very depressed. He kept protesting and shouted: "If this ball is fouled in defense, this ball must be fouled in defense, he will hit him."

The referees were very upset, but Li Feng did have a misunderstanding of the ball, so he went to the rostrum to play the game.

It would be even more shocking to analyze this action from slow motion on the screen. From Li Feng pushing against Miles Leonard to the penalty area, to him strideing out to catch up with Batum, and finally blocking it, it was really imposing.

The referees discussed and found that the cover was fine and reasonable.

This result made Pelicans fans happy, and huge sounds swept the audience, and people kept shouting:

"Li Feng mvp!"

"For the sake of the Trail Blazer Cub, for glory and for victory!"

"Female Beast Forward, Tyrannosaurus Rex. Li Feng!"

Li Feng also showed his momentum, and he shouted at Batum:

"If you have the game, you can continue to come today. I want to give you ten big hats!"

Li Feng's block was too shocking, which affected the confidence of the Trail Blazers players. Avrado then made a sloppy attack and shot from a long time. As a result, the iron popped up and Li Feng grabbed the rebound again.

Van Gundy yelled with a vicissitudes of life:

"Good job, boys, just give me these idiots such as fucking death!"

The grievances that he had been depressed in his heart for a long time were finally released through the crazy attack and defense of Li Feng and Thornton.

Li Feng licked his lips, and the Pelicans quickly returned to defense and launched 23 joint defenses.

Li Feng and Thornton stood behind, and the three left were standing outside. The Pelicans arranged defense in this way, which saved more energy. Generally speaking, they would use 23 joint defense when the opponent was particularly strong in the interior or his own interior was particularly weak. The advantage was that the defense at the basket was enhanced, and of course the periphery was weak, and they were afraid that the opponent would make three-pointers accurate.

But the Pelicans are not afraid. They are stronger than the strong. Li Feng defended the penalty area, forcing the Trail Blazers to continuously shoot three-pointers from a long distance.

Shooting is something that cannot kill anyone...

The Pelicans suddenly used 23-joint defense ultimate moves, and the Trail Blazers were overwhelmed.

Scoring is always the closer you get to the rim, so as long as it is not a specific tactic, most teams will make the ball holder get closer and closer to the rim by breaking through or passing the ball, thus falling into the trap of the Pelicans.

Aldridge ran back and entered the penalty area. After getting the ball, he quickly jumped. Thornton hit him in the front, and Li Feng took the opportunity to kill and gave a big hat.

The Pelicans attacked, Li Feng played from the inside, and Miles Leonard had the same problem as Robin Lopez. The defense was very tough, but his pace was too slow.

Li Feng waved his arm and made a hook shot fake action, and Miles Leonard raised his center of gravity. Seeing this, he quickly turned around, walked around the basket and put the ball away, raised it over his head and dunked it.

Fans were full of resentment for Miles Leonard's poor defense, and booed like whistles, and sounded from all directions.

The Trail Blazers still chose to break through. Afrado entered the inside but encountered double-teams from Li Feng and Weiss. He made a mistake in passing and the ball was intercepted by Kelly. The Pelicans made a big fast break and continued to destroy the Trail Blazers' penalty area.

Seeing this, Lillard immediately made a change of moves, and he had to pass the ball to his outside teammates, asking them to use long shots or long shots to solve their opponents.

Aldridge is a big pitcher after all, and Gasol can't limit him. He scored two consecutive goals around the three-point line. Both of these goals can be regarded as key goals. Although it cannot further narrow the score, it is enough to be less ugly.

But then, Thornton began to show his power, and he scored four points with a break and shot. Then he stole Lillard's pass and made a counterattack layup. Avrado returned to defense and pushed Thornton in time. As a result, the latter took the opportunity to rush up and landed a 2+1!

Aldridge made a jump shot, and Turner immediately made his third three-pointer in the game. Lillard and Batum cooperated to chase 6 points in a row, and Li Feng attacked Miles Leonard for fouls and made both free throws.

At the end of the quarter, Turner made another three-pointer. After the first half, the Pelicans led their opponents to nearly 2 points with 46-44.

The Trail Blazers fans were extremely dissatisfied with this result. On the way the players entered the locker room, someone shouted at Aldridge and others:

"Is this Portland's pride? Are you just taking us to the championship like this? Did the Trail Blazers fall into this way?"

One sentence makes the players look ugly, and they are powerless to fight back because the Pelicans are really ugly when they play.

The team system can change, the team tactics can change, and the team lineup can also change. But if the team's core remains unchanged, then no matter how the team changes, it will be filled with old wines in new bottles. If the characteristics and style of the team's core remain unchanged, then this team is essentially still an old team.

The Trail Blazers also know their problems, but they have no way to deal with them.

The Pelicans use joint defense from the second quarter. The so-called joint defense is the awareness of joint defense, which means that the restrictions are divided into 6 small areas. Each person is in charge of one area and is responsible for any action taken by the opponent in his own area. This makes it easy to double-team and attack the opponent.

When Van Gundy saw that the joint defense took effect, he naturally asked the players to insist on using this tactic when he was on the court. When the team fouls more often, he can use joint defense to reduce fouls, and can also curb the opponent's strong breakthrough ability or external long-range shooting ability.

The pressure is all on Tristots' side. The joint defense is most afraid of fast attacks. Everyone knows this principle. The joint defense has not been formed in fast attacks, so it has no power. However, the Trail Blazers are veterans, so their fast attacks are not fast enough and their threats are not strong enough.

Furthermore, the joint defense is afraid of grabbing the frontcourt rebounds, because the joint defense is not as strict as the man-tapping defense. Once someone rushes into the penalty area and grabs the frontcourt rebounds, it is easy to cause the joint defense to fall into chaos. As long as the inside line shrinks its defense line and enters the penalty area, someone can get an open opportunity.

However, the Trail Blazers still cannot do this. As a power forward, Aldridge has a rebounding ability comparable to that of a small forward. Miles Leonard is very good at rebounding due to his height, but Li Feng is right in front of them.

Thinking about this, Tristots began to scratch his head with some worries. Each joint defense has its own flaws, and different formations have gaps, so the gap is ineffective after being caught. He tried hard to find the flaws of the Pelicans players, but most of them were found, but only one was not found.

The one he couldn't find the defensive flaw is Li Feng, and Li Feng is the core of the Pelicans' joint defense, so the flaw found in this way is still not a flaw - they can find it, and Li Feng also knows that these flaws are often traps.

In this way, Tristots could only say helplessly:

"Guys, we must be patient in the offense, pass more balls, and keep passing the balls to keep running. I don't believe they are all Iron Warriors."

In this arrangement, Tristots has a concern, that is, there is another loophole in the joint defense, that is, preventing breakthroughs but not shooting. If someone feels hot and can make repeated shots, the Pelicans will definitely collapse.

What Tristots is afraid of is that people really think so, that would be bad. What he wants is team basketball, not heroism.

The ball rights in the third quarter were still from the Trail Blazers. Lillard did not rest and led the team again...
