These two rounds on the court are a microcosm of the transition between the two sides in the second quarter.

Jokic continued his stellar run of the series, while Brogdon played fiercely under the rookie of the year.

The two played a wave of 8-0 offensive in just over three minutes, and the difference was stretched to 8 points.

Cole reached out and called a timeout.

"Kevin."

After calling a timeout, he turned around and called Durant up, the Warriors didn't do a good job on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he needed Durant to come on the court early to make changes.

When the players came down, he quickly laid out new offensive tactics around Durant.

After the arrangement, he suddenly had an idea again, signaling Clark to prepare to play a five-man lineup.

"Coach, I can do it."

But at that moment, Pachulia spoke.

Cole glanced at Pachuria, who rarely spoke to him like that, especially when he was about to make a substitution.

But it was at this glance that he saw something different in Pachuria's eyes.

It's not just a desire to compete.

He nodded, motioning for Clark to sit back.

He should trust his teammates.

After the timeout, both teams made substitutions.

On the Pelicans' side, Holiday came on to replace Williams, and on the Warriors' side, Durant came on to replace Iguodala.

On the first offense after a timeout, Durant hit Bojan with his back.

Bojan defended hard, but Durant still rolled over and put the ball in the basket on a jumper.

But in the back of the day, Jokic showed his strength in the low post, hitting Pachulia with his back, and sending the ball to the basket after back-to-back turns.

Durant was caught in the bag again, and he gave the ball to McCaw, who scored two points on a layup.

After Durant came on the court, the Warriors' performance on the offensive end improved significantly.

Williams didn't score a layup after the breakaway, but Jokic got up to make a layup to make up for the ball!

He wasn't in good shape tonight!

Cole shook his head when he saw it.

He trusted Pachuria, which is why he kept him on the court, but now it seems that he can't do anything about Jokic at all.

He got up and called Thompson up directly, ready to play the five-man lineup.

Durant missed the shot in the bag, and Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound, and directly threw a long shot to Brogdon for a fast break.

However, the Warriors retreated quickly, and Brogdon was defended by McCaw and had no chance, so he could only dribble the ball back to the three-point line to regroup.

At that moment, Jokic arrived late, and he passed the ball straight over.

Jokic received the ball from the three-point line and turned to squeeze past Green to the basket, and his rhythm was really good.

However, Green's off-ball retreat was quick and he fell back to the basket.

Jokic saw that there was no direct scoring opportunity and strode to the free throw line.

This time, he took advantage of the size gap to shake off Green, and as long as the ball was shot, it would definitely go in.

But just then, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing beside him.

His attention was on Green, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Pachuria, who had rushed back, and was reaching out to cover him.

He tried to collect the ball and dodge, and the moment his right foot hit the ground, he felt like he had stepped on something.

Although he reacted and quickly regained his strength, there was a tingling pain in his foot, and he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

It came very suddenly, and after the referee blew the whistle for the ball out of bounds, they noticed that Jokic had fallen to the ground with a painful expression.

The fans at the scene unconsciously hugged their heads, and just now there was a flash of lightning, and they didn't know what was going on.

But what can be seen with the naked eye is that Jokic is holding his ankle with his hand, which should have been injured in the confrontation just now.

Jokic performed bravely this period, but suddenly got injured, which is undoubtedly bad news for the Pelicans.

The team doctor quickly got on the court and helped back to the Pelicans bench after communication.

The game went into a technical timeout and the players from both sides returned to their respective halves.

At this moment, the big LED screen on the scene showed Jokic's injured defense.

Jokic, he was injured when he stepped on Pachuria's foot!

Much like Leonard's injury, Pachulia looked like he was trying to block Jokic, but his left foot was unfortunately right on the spot of Jokic's right foot.

The scene was full of boos.

When Leonard was injured, they were more sorry and worried, but now that it's happening to their own team, they're more angry.

“Fxck！ Fxck！ ”

Davis slapped the bench next to him at this time, and if he was on the court, he would definitely beat Pachulia directly by now.

He watched the game between the Spurs and the Warriors with Tang Tian and Dio, and knew how dirty Pachuriana's actions were.

Now Pachulia continues to apply this action to Jokic!

Tang Tian also secretly clenched his fists.

He has mixed emotions right now.

There is anger, and there is regret.

His anger was the same as Davis's, but his regret was that he didn't go to Tetum when Leonard was injured and the league announced that Pachulia would not be banned.

The reason why he didn't do that at the beginning was, on the one hand, that Leonard was not a member of the Pelicans, and it was inappropriate for him to come forward, and on the other hand, he subconsciously felt that Pachulia had been beaten by himself, and he didn't dare to do that again when facing the Pelicans.

But it turned out that he was wrong.

He remembered Olsen's reminder again.

Pachulia was afraid to come to him, but he dared to come to the rest of the Pelicans!

His fists clenched tighter and tighter, and he had already thought that this time he must make Pachulia unforgettable for the rest of his life, just like Green.

Jokic was finally helped back to the locker room by the team doctor, and this game will definitely not be played, but he is not in a wheelchair, and it seems that the situation is not particularly serious.

This is a blessing in disguise.

The technical timeout came back, and the on-court referee declared that Pachulia had not committed a foul and that the ball belonged to the Warriors.

Pachulia is really experienced.

"Black Whistle! Black Whistle! ”

After seeing the referee's gesture, the scene was full of scolding.

After the timeout, both sides changed their main forces one after another, and Kerr also replaced Pachulia off the field in time at this time.

There was no verbal exchange, but there was a tacit understanding between Cole and his teammates.

After the timeout, Tang Tian played quite fiercely, rampage and directly collapsed the Warriors' interior line, and Green made four early fouls.

But the Warriors also played well offensively, and even when Green was gone, Kerr used Speights instead of Pachuria.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Warriors 60-50.

A double-digit lead is good, but it's only half a game, Jokic can't play, and the second half will be a bad one for them.

At halftime, the Pelicans' locker room was a little dull.

Jokic's injury is clearly more important to them than the lead.

At this moment, Stevens, who had just finished discussing tactics with Gentry and came out of the coach's office to go to the locker room, met Tang Tian in the aisle.

'I'm ready to play the second half.'

Tang Tian said something like this to him directly.
