Chapter 833: Everything in a Dream
"We're not going to give up, the Pelicans played at a super high level, but they're not going to be like that all the time."
The Pelicans won the opener, but Kerr still talked and laughed during the interview.
The rookie coach, who led the team to 67 wins in his season and 73 wins in his second season, is a member of the former Bulls dynasty, and his mental quality is absolutely tough.
This is also on the faces of the Warriors players.
They lost a lot in the first game, but in fact, everyone who watched the game knew that they were still inseparable from the Pelicans seven minutes before the end.
The final collapse was due to their own psychological fluctuations, and they completely had a fight in terms of strength.
That's what Kerr and the Warriors players think.
It was against this backdrop that two days later, the second game of the Pelicans-Warriors West Finals continued in New Orleans.
Kerr is right, the Pelicans' performance has dropped significantly compared to the first game, and Tang Tian's performance is not so strong.
And that's to be expected.
Although the Pelicans didn't perform as high-profile as the Warriors in the first game, it was terrifying to hold back the strength of the season and play it all at once.
After that momentum, it naturally fell back.
The Pelicans have pulled back, but the Warriors have performed the same, even more.
In other words, the Pelicans' pullback is normal, but the Warriors are a cliff-like pullback after the 1-3 comeback.
Amid the frenzied cheers of New Orleans fans, the Warriors felt collectively lost on the outside.
Curry and Thompson combined for 5-of-21 three-pointers from beyond the arc.
The Pelicans led from the beginning to the end, and finally beat the Warriors 106-88 again, leading 2-0!
Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, a year ago the Pelicans were beaten by the Warriors, and a year later, the Pelicans played by the Warriors.
After this game, Pelicans fans were more excited than ever.
Although the outside world is very optimistic about the Pelicans, they feel that the game will be very intense, after all, the opponent is the 73-win Warriors led by Curry.
But the 2-0 score gave them plenty of confidence, and they became more and more confident that the Pelicans could win the first championship in team history this year!
'We'll start fighting back at home, 0-2 is nothing for us, we'll beat them 4-2.'
The next two games of the series were to be moved to Oakland, and after returning to Oakland, Green made a big splash in front of the media.
That's his usual style, and that's how he cheers up the team.
That's a positive thing for the Warriors and Warriors fans, but for the Pelicans and fans, it's a big deal.
You're 2-0 down, which means you're going to sweep the Pelicans 4-0 in turn!
Tang Tian just smiled when he saw this.
Last year, Green said that the Warriors were going to sweep the Pelicans, and they couldn't write their names backwards.
As a result, it ended up making a fuss for a while, and few fans still remember that incident.
Time can make people forget a lot of things, and at the end of the day people will only remember who won the championship, and no one will remember the process before that.
Tang Tian saw through it and didn't respond, but Stephenson was very direct.
The war of words between him and Green hasn't ended yet!
"No one will pay attention to what he says, because he talks like a fart, and he doesn't even know how many he has let go."
Stephenson: This is a positive force.
"I'm not going to talk too much about someone who is about to be eliminated from the alliance, that's not necessary."
Green's response, as before, was to catch Stephenson's league status black.
"That's all he says, man, I've played the division finals before him, and as for the championship, I'll have it this year."
Stephenson is really hard, and he is completely worthy of the war of words with Green.
The war of words is not over yet, and the third game of the Western Conference has started at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Oracle Arena is crowded, and the scene is no weaker than that of New Orleans Arena.
The team's unfavorable situation, coupled with the pre-game war of words, caused Bay Area fans to flock to the stadium to cheer on the Warriors.
According to previous media reports, Curry warmed up at the arena an hour before the game, attracting two to three thousand fans to the sidelines to watch.
He also showed great touch in front of the fans, hitting a midfield three-pointer, giving the fans a lot of confidence.
In the opening ceremony, Curry shook his head and appeared, bringing the atmosphere to the highest point.
Kerr made a change this time and put Bogut back into the starting line-up.
The Warriors have conceded a whopping 120 points per game in their last two games, and this adjustment is expected.
Bogut jumped to Davis to kick off Game 3 of the series.
"Come on! Warriors! ”
The atmosphere of the Bay Area fans was enthusiastic, and they cheered for the home team in unison as soon as the game began.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Curry used Bogut to cover and hit a big three-pointer.
He hit the ball on his first shot and showed the same great touch as he did before the match.
And in the next round, Bogut also assisted in the defense of Tang Tian and successfully defended the Pelicans' first attack.
The cheers continued.
These two rounds speak volumes about how important Bogut is to the Warriors right now, and the Warriors have lost their last two games at this point!
Now that Kerr has corrected him back, the Warriors are completely worthy of the Pelicans!
That's what the fans thought, but their thoughts didn't last long.
Because in the next round, the Pelicans forced Thompson to stop the ball by pressing, and Tang Tian then directly cut the ball away from Thompson's hands.
Thompson is a top pitcher, but he's really average with the ball right now.
After Tang Tian made a steal, he played a fast break, and accelerated to shake off the chasing Curry's hands to score.
Curry missed his second three-point shot from the outside, and after Davis grabbed a defensive rebound, the Pelicans went to the frontcourt to play the position.
Tang Tian suddenly went to the basket to attract the bag and gave the ball to the bottom line, Jokic turned around and put the basket to score.
Compared to the finishing rate, Jokic is much higher than Biyombo and McGee.
Of course, the most important thing is that after the Warriors didn't use five hours, their defensive contraction slowed down, and Tang Tian had more room to play.
Barnes' layup on the catch-up was blocked by Davis, and Bogut's shot to the frontcourt was also interfered with by Jokic.
Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans went straight to the defense and counterattacked.
Without the five, the Warriors' defense has slowed down.
Tang Tian received the ball in the front court, he ran to the front court and did not go up to himself, but a return pass that did not look at people, and stuffed the ball from Thompson's armpit to Davis, who followed up.
Davis slammed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.
4 to 3.
Although the score was about the same, the Pelicans quickly took the initiative on the court, just like the first two games.
There was a commotion at the scene, and the fans found that their previous judgment was delusional.
At the end of the day, from the core to the team configuration, the Pelicans have unknowingly surpassed the Warriors.
