Chapter 748: Immortal Fight (Fifth Update!) )
Jokic's dunk boosted the Pelicans' morale, and the Pelicans continued to play at a pressing level in the second half of the second quarter.
At halftime, the score was 62-47, and the Pelicans had a full 15-point lead over the Warriors.
The excitement of the fans at the scene was unprecedented.
The grudge of being eliminated last season, coupled with Green's pre-game clamour, made them all breathe in their hearts.
Now this score, most of their breath has been vented.
Returning from halftime, there was a change in the Warriors' starting lineup, with Bogut replacing Iguodala in the starting lineup.
Kerr is stubborn, but there is a limit to his stubbornness, and half time is the bottom line for him to stick to.
That's a big reason why the Warriors' halftime adjustments this season are among the best in the league.
In the first round of the second half, Curry and Bogut made a three-point shot after blocking and dismantling.
The Warriors were even more ferocious in the third quarter of the season than they were last season, with many games ending on a wave of third-quarter plays.
Then there is the constant occurrence of three periods of clock-out and clock-out scenes.
One of the main reasons for this is Curry.
Some experts have calculated that Curry's shooting percentage in the third quarter was a full 5 percentage points higher than the other three quarters.
This metaphysical difference made the Warriors not worry about how many points they fell behind in the first half.
Davis missed mid-range from a pass from Don Tian, and Bogut defended the defensive rebound.
When it came to the frontcourt, Curry ran off the ball to receive a pass from Green for three points and then made a shot.
This time, Davis, who helped the defense, completely blocked Curry's view, but Curry still threw the ball out.
The ball hit the back edge of the basket, but the second hit bounced off and landed in it.
Curry hit back-to-back three-point shots!
The difference was reduced to single digits in an instant!
There was a burst of restlessness on the sidelines, this is a really unreasonable way of playing, and the three-point chase is really fast.
"Number 1! Number 1! ”
Stevens walked to the sideline and yelled at Holiday as he advanced with the ball.
Holiday nodded, and after signaling others to pull away in the front court, he gave the ball to Tang Tian outside the three-point line on the right side, and then took Curry away with him.
Stevens brought a lot of tactics to the Pelicans, and different tactics were distinguished by different Arabic numerals.
The No. 2 tactic is Jokic's response in the high post, which is the one they have played a lot this season.
No. 3 is Tang Tian's no ball, Jokic played low back at the beginning, and Tang Tian's cut is one of the many variations of this tactic.
No. 4 is Davis' low singles and so on.
And the No. 1 tactic is the one that the Pelicans used a lot last season, and it is also a tactic that will only be used at critical moments.
This tactic also has a more brutal name, Tang Tian's single tactic.
Tang Tian took the ball and glanced at Thompson, and directly put on a three-threat strategy.
Stevens's tactical system is definitely not one person playing four people, when Tang Tian put on this offensive posture, there are also blocks and pick-and-rolls on the off-ball side to contain the Warriors' defensive attention.
The Warriors' bag can't come up at once, and Thompson and Tang Tian, the hard-working brothers, are one-on-one.
Tang Tian tentatively walked, but Thompson didn't pounce.
He was too familiar with Tang Tian, and having trained together all summer in the past, he was also very familiar with this trio.
He would rather give Tang Tian a chance to shoot than give Tang Tian a chance to pass him easily.
Tang Tian collected the ball, as he wished, and directly pulled out the three-point shot.
Thompson didn't have time to pounce.
"Huh!"
The three-pointer goes through the heart and into the net.
Thompson was blown up by Tang Tian's three threats in training camp for a whole summer, and in the regular season, this first round came up with the same ending.
The audience burst into cheers.
At Tang Tian's critical moment, he returned Curry an answerball!
The difference was reopened to 12 points!
"Defend! Defend! ”
The goal also boosted morale at the scene, with fans cheering loudly for the Pelicans.
The Pelicans players worked defense and didn't give the Warriors a chance.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Curry came out to continue to catch the ball, and he directly deceived Ariza who assisted in defense with a three-point feint.
It's not Ariza's dish, it's Curry's shooting speed is too fast, plus he scored two three-pointers in a row in front, and he either saves or puts it.
Curry flew Ariza and quickly broke inside, and after seeing Jokic, he chose to throw inside the free throw line.
As far as guards are concerned, Curry's offensive skills are really well-rounded, with layups, throws, and even low backs.
Jokic's reaction was fast enough, but the ball was parabolic and the ball flew past his fingertips.
"Huh!"
Curry's throw goes back in.
He came back in the second half and scored eight points in a row!
"Incredible!"
Brin exclaimed in the commentary box, and the goal was quite beautiful.
"The Pelicans are in trouble."
Miller said with a smile on the side.
Although the point difference is still in double digits, Curry's state in this quarter is as good as in the previous game, which is amazing.
With a 9-point and 10-point jump in this segment, the Warriors have chased at least 5 points.
At this pace, it is not impossible for the Warriors to tie or even overtake this quarter.
Stevens continued to gesture to Holiday on the sidelines for Tactic 1.
Tang Tian arrived in the front court and then received the ball to face Thompson, another triple threat.
Kerr shouted on the sidelines at this time, and Barnes directly let Ariza come over to wrap Tang Tian.
Tang Tian is very strong, but he doesn't have the kind of change that Curry has. The three-point shooting ability of the state, and forcing him to play is a better option for the Warriors.
However, Barnes's bag has not yet come up, and after Tang Tian deceived Thompson with a fake throw, he changed direction and accelerated directly past Thompson.
Thompson's defensive ability is also top-notch, but Tang Tian's shooting and breakthrough are top-notch, and it is really difficult to defend against his triple threat.
Tang Tian accelerated and rushed into the inside line, and Green, who was on the bottom line, came over to help defend and surrounded Thompson back and forth.
Tang Tian glanced at the basket, and after seeing that Jokic and Bogut were stuck with each other, he suddenly threw the ball into the basket.
This throw caught everyone off guard.
By the time Green reacted, Tang Tian had already run past him.
The ball smashed on the rebound and bounced back, and Tang Tian flew up in one step.
He grabbed the bounced ball in the air and smashed it into the basket with his right hand directly past Jokic and Bogut.
"Bang!"
The ball was smashed into the basket.
It's a plate buckle!
In terms of dunk ability alone, Tang Tian is not high, but he is really smart and knows how to read defense to make choices!
“!”
Brin exploded directly in the commentary seat, and the ball was pressed into it by two people, which was really brutal from an ornamental point of view!
"What am I talking about? They are players of the same level! They're all playing at historic levels! ”
Van Gundy was also amazed at this time.
Curry's three-point day, Tang Tian's three-point pulling is not weak, Curry's throwing is shocking, and Tang Tian's dunk is also violent!
Tang Tian and Curry, the real immortals fight!
ps: The fifth watch is over, ask for a monthly pass!
