Chapter 978: Pelican Battle Season 3

Others have a poisonous mouth, Jordan is not vicious, it is poisonous.

He still vaguely remembers playing the quarterfinals against North Carolina.

Jordan played a mess in North Carolina in the first half, and almost turned the game over as soon as Jordan left North Carolina in the second half.

Whether you believe it or not, metaphysics is there.

Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Dio seemed to have thought of something.

Jordan was a god when he played, and he was also a god after retiring, but he was a god.

"It's okay, we are highly toxic tolerant, you didn't turn Barkley into a donkey."

Dior said with a smile.

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

Metaphysics is not something that people can control.

The day before the Western Conference finals began, the Warriors arrived in New Orleans.

Like the Thunder and Rockets before them, they will also start the series against the Pelicans on the road.

However, the difference between the Thunder and the Rockets before is that the Warriors are obviously more confident than them, and their daily training after arrival is open to the public.

In the much-anticipated series, reporters from the sidelines are also crowded.

But before the training was over, Curry and Thompson went back to the locker room first.

By the end of practice, Durant and Green were still working hard, and head coach Kerr became the target of reporters.

Long guns and short cannons, airtight.

"What do you think of TNT's latest show, Michael thinks the Pelicans have a better chance of winning the series."

The reporter's question grasped the hot topic, and the question that came up was quite novel.

You must know that Kerr was Jordan's original teammate, and now his former teammates are not optimistic about his team.

"That's a good thing."

Cole said with a smile in his eyes.

This sentence is very simple, but it says all the layers of meaning.

"How's Durant doing right now? We know that since last season, he hasn't played too well against Don. ”

The reporter's subsequent question was softer, but the content was sharp.

It is no exaggeration to say that Durant had Tang Tian phobia before.

"He's great, you're right, Kevin was great last time against the Pelicans and helped us win."

Kerr said with a smile that the last meeting between the two teams at the end of the season did not play the main team, and the victory or defeat of that game has no reference significance.

He was talking about the second meeting between the two teams in the regular season, and that game also allowed Durant to regain his confidence against Tang Tian.

Kerr's interview went on pretty much here, Durant and Green finished their workout over there, and the reporters quickly shifted positions and gathered around them.

"Kevin, do you have confidence for tonight's game?"

"He has, he has it more than ever."

Before Durant could speak, Green answered for him.

Duran nodded.

"Our goal is the championship, that's our only goal, and we're going to do that no matter who the opponent is."

Green continued.

Unlike the previous teams, Green didn't mention the concept of revenge at all, he was full of confidence.

Durant continued to nod.

He is active on social media but is relatively quiet in front of the media.

However, he chose to go from the Thunder to the Warriors, and he chose the most difficult road, and if he didn't win the championship, he would fail.

Green's words were more direct, but they were fine.

These interviews before the game were quickly exposed by the media.

Green's big mouth is still the same, which also makes Pelican fans continue to feel uncomfortable.

It's only been a year since Green forgot the tragic experience of being swept last season.

Sure enough, time is the best healing agent and the best amnesia medicine.

However, it also makes fans look forward to the series that will start soon.

The next night, the third season of Pelican Wars officially kicked off in New Orleans.

The commentators from various countries on the scene were in place early, ready to broadcast this round of the war of the century.

Although it is only the Western Conference Finals, the grudge between the two teams and the strength of the two teams are definitely the most watched series this year.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams appeared one after another.

There are changes on both sides.

The Warriors removed Pachuria, the starting center from the first two rounds, and promoted Iguodala to the starting lineup.

The Pelicans, for their part, also removed Jokic from the starting lineup and replaced him with Brogdon.

There are no serious big centers on either side, and they are all five small lineups.

This is also the result of two consecutive years of Pelican Warrior battles, and the two sides know each other well and hide their weaknesses as much as possible.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Davis turned the ball back to the Pelicans' halfcourt, officially kicking off the third season of the Pelicans.

Both teams removed the big center to avoid the embarrassment of being pulled out for military training.

However, Curry can't go down on the Warriors' side, and the Pelicans also aim for this point at the beginning.

After Tang Tian held the ball, Brogdon did the blocking and dismantling cover.

However, after being beaten for three consecutive years, Kerr also responded, going to flank Tang Tian in advance, and not giving the Pelicans an easy change.

Because of the loose penalty scale, the Warriors gave a high intensity of confrontation, and this strategy worked.

The Pelicans' first wave of play didn't come out, Brogdon dribbled the ball, and finally chose to give the ball to Davis in the low post.

Davis backs up to Green and turns around to shoot a board-scraper.

Green's struggling interference put a lot of pressure, but the ball still grazed the rebound and fell into the net.

Davis looked to be in very good form tonight.

The Pelicans came out on top, and the Warriors didn't fall behind in the end.

Kenny Smith's analysis on TNT is correct, Tang Tian is defending Durant, and the Warriors are attacking Curry.

Curry took advantage of Iguodala's cover to fake a three-point shot and went straight to the basket, accelerated to get rid of Ariza's layup, causing the latter's beater to foul and hit both free throws.

Looking back, Tang Tian didn't succeed in hitting Curry again, and after he motioned Brogdon to pull away, he asked Davis to mention the high pick-and-roll.

After dismantling, he walked out, Davis went inside, he stopped and jumped in the air to give the ball to Davis, and Davis pressed Thompson to the basket and scored.

The Pelicans opened the game with consecutive offensive scores.

But back to Green's arc top ball organization, hit the ball to the empty cut Curry, Curry pulled the air lever to avoid Holiday and scored a backhand layup in a high arc.

The defensive intensity of the two teams after the opening game was no lower than that of the previous Pelicans and Rockets series.

The collision of various muscles when blocking and dismantling without the ball, and the scene of people turning on their backs from time to time, all highlight the characteristics of the playoffs at the beginning of the century.

However, under the intensity of such a confrontation, it can also highlight the state of the players.

Tang Tian and Durant haven't played yet, but Davis and Curry's state tonight came out first.

The goals they scored after the opening were not easy.

In the opening game of the Pelicans and Rockets game, the two sides did not score for three minutes in the opening game, and the fans who watched it were also addicted.

Now the defensive intensity is the same, but both sides can still score the ball, which shows the strength of both teams.

Such a scene is also worthy of a season of waiting for fans!
