Williams noticed Whiteside's gaze and glanced back at him, but made no substitutions.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian pinned down the defense off the ball, and Davis hit a mid-range shot from a pass from Holiday at the free throw line.

After going through the first round, Davis has clearly grown a lot.

4 to 4 draw.

The Spurs' hammer tactics in the frontcourt, Jokic continued to shrink the basket, and this time Parker failed to shoot from mid-range, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, Tang Tian caught the ball without the ball and broke through the basket, and then distributed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic's open three-pointer was followed by another shot.

The ball was shot right, but it bounced out again.

There was a stirring on the sidelines.

It was already the second three-pointer Jokic missed since the opening.

The live footage gives Jokic a close-up.

Jokic didn't have much of an emotional swing on his face, and he quickly retreated with the Pelicans.

Such a reaction surprised the TNT triumvirate in the commentary box, and the restless mood of the fans at the scene also stabilized after seeing it.

Jokic didn't panic himself, and neither can they.

Leonard's step-back shot missed, and under the basket, Duncan used his experience to block Davis and score a layup.

6-4, the Spurs took the lead again.

The Pelicans were in high spirits tonight, but the Spurs stood out for a steady word.

However, Tang Tian quickly scored a goal on the offensive end.

It's also from the Spurs, and you will definitely not lose if you fight steadily.

The opening game of the two teams was almost the same as the previous games, and they were really fighting for details, and the scores continued to rise alternately.

When the first quarter was about five minutes into play, the score on the court was 12 draws.

Barkley was a little unsure in the commentary bench at this time, and he still underestimated the Spurs a little.

The Pelicans seized the right time and place and didn't take advantage of the opening!

Could it be that he is poisonous, and whoever stands in line can't do it?

Tang Tian broke through with the ball, and Gasol contracted the basket.

Jokic can't shoot, and it becomes much easier for them to prevent Tang Tian's breakthrough.

Tang Tian also passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic took the ball and made another shot, his third three-point shot of the game.

The hearts of the fans at the scene suddenly hung in the air.

Barkley was also grinning.

This Jokic really dares to vote!

The ball is shot, and the trajectory still looks straight.

"Bang dang!"

The ball hits the back edge of the basket.

However, the second blow after the bounce, it still fell into the net bag.

Jokic's third three-point shot finally went in!

The scene erupted in cheers.

Barkley also shouted excitedly.

"Shaq, if you want to enter, you really have to vote more!"

He laughed at O'Neill.

O'Neill reached out to Barkley and laughed.

This big mouth, they all joined them, and they had to tease him.

Isn't that a clear indication that Jokic has a Mamba spirit?

The live camera was given to Jokic again, and after he and Tang Tian high-fived, his expression was still the same as before.

This is the first time that a courtside photographer has shot Jokic in such detail.

Looking at Jokic's breezy expression, fans have an inexplicable love for him.

Leonard misplaced to meet Jokic's mid-range shot.

The Spurs really took advantage of Jokic's weaknesses on the defensive end.

On the Pelicans' offense, Holiday broke through the basket and gave the ball to Jokic.

The quality of this pass was obviously not as good as Tang Tian's before, and Jokic bent down to get the ball.

But Gasol didn't make the first save.

There was some luck in the shot Jokic just made.

Jokic continued to shoot.

He is the kind of player who is really tough on the field, Tang Tian asked him to rest assured to vote, and he would definitely vote.

The trajectory of the ball is still very positive, and after strengthening his shooting confidence, he actually feels very good when he shoots.

"Huh!"

This time the ball goes straight into the net!

Jokic opened the game with two straight shots, but then made two three-point shots!

18 to 14!

The Pelicans stretched the margin to four points in one fell swoop.

The fans at the scene held their hands high, and it felt so cool for this big man to score three points in a row!

Popovich got up and walked to the sideline and shouted to Pau Gasol to stop shrinking the defense.

Jokic's ability to pull space on the offensive end has finally returned.

Parker's misalignment in the frontcourt continues to surprise Jokic.

This time, Jokic saw the timing and slapped Parker's shot hard.

Although the emotions on his face didn't seem to fluctuate, hitting two three-pointers in a row greatly improved his overall self-confidence.

After he took advantage of the situation to win the rebound, he made a long pass directly to Tang Tian in the backcourt.

Tang Tian accelerated to get rid of Green, flew up from the free throw line, and scored directly with a one-handed slam.

The Pelicans are going to get up this time.

Popovich called a timeout as soon as possible.

When he got off the court, Tang Tian took the initiative to high-five Jokic, and the players on the bench also shouted at Jokic.

His performance in this section is not only for himself, but also for his teammates.

Coming back from the timeout, the situation on the pitch has clearly changed.

Jokic has the ability to pull space when he can shoot three-pointers, and Tang Tian and Holiday have become more resolute in their breakthroughs.

Big Gasol and Duncan are slow and old, no matter who pulls them out, they can't come back, and the Spurs interior line has become very vulnerable.

Tang Tian either suddenly or passed, revitalizing the entire Pelicans' offense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Spurs by a full 10 points, 30-20, for the first time since the double series.

In the second quarter, McGee came up with a volleyball-style block to boost the Pelicans' morale, and Gordon even scored consecutive points on an inside and outside shot.

The Pelicans played steadily and played with the momentum they had when they played Tianwang Mountain in the first round.

They didn't give the Spurs much of a chance, and eventually beat the Spurs 106-91 to make the series 2-3.

Tang Tian didn't score much, only 21 points, but he still had 10 boards and 13 assists.

He had the first triple-double of his career playoffs.

Of those 13 assists, four were three-pointers for Jokic.

Jokic rebounded strongly, shooting 6-of-11 from beyond the three-point line in this game, and finished with a playoff high 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Davis also had a very good game, scoring a double-double of 25 points and 15 boards on 11-of-15 shooting.

After the game, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

He seemed to be in a very good mood.

"We noticed that you only scored 21 points tonight, which is a big difference from what you have scored in the last few games, does that bother you?"

With a light win over the Spurs, and a good performance as a team, the reporter found the only interesting point to ask.

"Of course not, if we win the next games every night, I keep scoring 21 points, or less, and we're team basketball too."

Tang Tian replied with a smile.
