At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers on the court went down in frustration.

On the bench, James stared at the scoreboard so blankly that he forgot to bite his fingers.

George seemed a little absent-minded, this was not the place he wanted to be.

Love was bumped by Whiteside and knocked away without resistance, just like the defense on the field.

The Cavaliers were stunned by the Pelicans in the first quarter.

Lu was also a little overwhelmed at this time, he expected a lot before the game, but he didn't expect the game to be like this.

"Guys!"

Before Lu could speak, Wade reached out and gathered all the team together.

"I don't know why they were so good in the first quarter, maybe they were inspired before the game, maybe they were just in good shape.

But trust me, they won't stay that way forever, we try to defend and play well and we still have chances.

What the Warriors can do, we can do.

Think about what our goals are for this season, the difficulties in front of us, we can definitely get over them! ”

Wade played the role of the locker room boss at the critical moment, and after a burst of chicken soup, he could feel that the morale of the Cavaliers players had obviously returned.

James looked at Wade with intimacy in his eyes.

He's not a guy who is good at inspiring his teammates with words, and Wade is good at that.

They are as close together as they were in Miami.

Although, he once had a defeat to Wade.

But they don't care about those details.

Lu also patted his head after listening to Wade's words, and he had a strategy.

'We put our main focus on attacking, fighting with them, and our attacking talent is no worse than theirs.

Lu's words showed his ability to be a tactical genius, and the members of the Cavaliers also reacted immediately.

James immediately took the tactical board and laid out the tactics.

In the second quarter, they want the Jedi to fight back!

Back in the second quarter, both sides were the main players with substitutes.

The Pelicans are led by Walker and Davis on the side, and the Cavaliers are led by James and Love.

Walker and Davis continued their excellent form in the first quarter, and they were very efficient on the offensive end.

But the Cavaliers went all out on offense in this quarter, and James scored with a hard bow in various bullies.

The two teams were deadlocked on the bench transition, and the Cavaliers even pressed the score a little closer.

Lou's eyes lit up from the sidelines.

Sure enough, his strategy was right!

Fight offense, the Cavaliers are not false to the Pelicans!

The quarter lasted more than five minutes, and the score on the court was 49-35, and the Cavaliers had closed the gap to 14 points.

Stevens called a timeout.

After the timeout, there were big changes to the lineups of both teams.

All five starters on the Cavaliers' side are back.

The Pelicans, on their part, have a lineup that has never been used before.

Tang Tian and Butler on the outside, Siakam and Davis on the front, Dedmon on the center.

The average height of this squad is very high, with the shortest Butler being 2.01 meters.

And more importantly, Tang Tian plays point guard in this lineup!

Stevens is really getting closer and closer to Popovich this season and has started to show off all kinds of operations.

The Pelicans came back from a timeout.

Tang Tian held the ball on the outside, and Davis lifted it to block and dismantle.

The Cavaliers chose to wrap Tang Tian, Tang Tian hit the ball through the bag, and the ball passed steadily to Davis.

Davis took a dribble and smashed the ball into the basket before Whiteside could help defend.

The goal helped the Pelicans stabilize the situation.

The Cavaliers' offense, James' organization, but the off-ball side of the game didn't play a few times.

In the end, he chose to go straight to the basket, and his strong shot caused a defensive foul on Dedmon and got two free throws.

It's a bit of a pity, though, that he missed both free throws and missed both free throws.

The defensive rebound was picked up by Dedmon.

Tang Tian held the ball to the front court and continued to organize the attack.

When he took a timeout and Stevens said he would play point guard, he was a little surprised.

After all, although he passes the ball well, he is at best an all-round striker.

But when I really played, I found that it was actually no different from the previous game.

Isn't this the Pelicans' No. 1 singles tactic at the bottom of the box!

Or that after his ball control improves, he can play point guard at all.

Stevens' reaction was still quick.

Davis continued to pick up pick-and-roll, and this time the Cavaliers opted for a switch.

At the moment of the change, Tang Tian gave Lefu a breakthrough on the right side, which was smoother than crossing the road in the early morning.

And after passing it, Tang Tian accelerated one step at a time, not giving the Cavaliers a chance to assist in defense on the weak side at all.

Whiteside pounced on the basket, and Tang Tian threw the ball into the air.

Dedmon leaped to his feet and won the air catch.

His ability to eat cakes is already online, and after coming to the pelican, he eats too much bread, and he will eat at the level of the king of cakes.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics still haven't been played.

It was at this time that many people on the scene realized the purpose of the Pelicans' lineup.

Letting Tang Tian play point guard is not the main purpose.

The main purpose of this lineup is to defend!

This is the strongest defensive lineup the Pelicans can put out!

Stevens had a very accurate grasp of the situation on the court.

Aren't your Cavaliers going to fight for offense? Then I'll have a super lock, and you can score as you did before!

James finally carried the explosive bag inside again, and after encountering the bag, he distributed the ball to George.

But the Pelicans defended quickly, and George had no chance to shoot, so he could only choose to attack with the ball.

He dribbled and burst to the free-throw line against Butler's defense, and his stop-and-go jumper was interfered with, sending the basketball out of the frame.

Davis picked up the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans directly played defensive counterattacks this time, and Tang Tian and Butler played two to one in the frontcourt.

Tang Tian faked a true pass, and the trademark back pass was passed to Butler, who made an easy layup.

55 to 35!

After the timeout, the Pelicans went on a 6-0 run to stretch the margin to 20 points!

Lu began to panic again.

His tactical genius attribute is temporary, and the situation on the field is changing rapidly, and he only has to open his mouth in a daze.

The Cavaliers' frontcourt tactics still can't be opened, and the Pelicans' lineup is too oppressive defensively.

It's not that it's breathless, it's that it feels like it's going to suffocate!

At the critical moment, the veteran Wade held the ball and went inside, and after a strong confrontation with Davis, he won a foul.

However, this time he landed on his arm and suffered some hard injuries.

Two free throw shots, one big and one small, both lost!

The defensive rebound was grabbed by Dedmon.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt position, and Tang Tian organized it again.

Before Lew could react, Drew jumped up and reached out to signal a change of tactics.

Davis tried to try to block again, and the Cavaliers shrank directly to the middle, not giving the two a chance to attack.

However, Tang Tian's vision is very wide, and a through ball that does not look at people is safely sent to Butler, who is empty on the bottom line.

"Bang!"

Butler took the ball and jumped to his feet, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands.

The scene was in an uproar.

The Pelicans were unstoppable after returning from a timeout, and the Cavaliers were like a mantis arm as a car, directly crushed into pulp!
