At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans led the Spurs by 8 points, 82-76, and the Spurs couldn't withstand such a strong firepower attack from the Pelicans.

At this time, Hubi Brown, who was in the commentary seat, said:

"The situation on the court now is simply weird, the Pelicans are obviously short of major generals, the lineup is not complete, but when they start the game, they are like crazy tigers, and even the Spurs, who have been attacking with all their might, have no power to fight back, this is too weird, although anything can happen on the court, but watching an ordinary team suddenly too strong, how does it feel a little wrong."

It is true that the Pelicans have not become stronger, and the reason why the Pelicans are so fierce is that every aspect of the entire team has played at a super level.

When the whistle blew, the Pelicans team returned to their rest seats, and at this time all the players were tired, and everyone sat on the bench gasping for breath, although Van Gundy kept encouraging his players, but he was very nervous.

At this time, the pelicans seem to be overclocking the CPU, although it seems to be more fierce for the time being, but it also leaves trouble, I don't know when the pelicans will "bang" and explode.

Li Feng sat on the rest seat and gasped, he had played enough time in this game, and Natalie looked at Li Feng worriedly from behind.

Sitting on the other side of the court, Ayers shook his head helplessly and said to the bishop:

"Those guys in Pelicans, I don't know how to do it, they all seem to be taking medicine, they don't even want to die, I can't keep up with them at all, they're all crazy."

If they do that in the fourth quarter, we're going to die." ”

"yes. I really know how their strength and conditioning coaches teach, and everyone is like a madman. ”

At this time, Bonner was also there shaking his head constantly.

Bonner couldn't bear it either, such a desperate team was really torturous.

"DJ, you replace Rose, Victor you replace Kaloon Butler, Thornton you replace Arenas, Brand you replace Li Feng, Biedrins you replace Henson, everyone take a break and prepare for the final battle."

Van Gundy was afraid of his own players at this time, because their bodies were broken in the middle, and these people played a full third quarter. You have to rest, and you're going to have to count on these guys in the final stages of the game.

"Van Gundy, let me stay, I can still fight." Hearing that he was going to replace himself, Henson hurriedly said, it is true that Henson did not play for long in the first half, and he was beaten by Duncan for a while as soon as he came on the court.

Van Gundy looked at several of the main players and looked at him with blank eyes and said:

"Don't look at me like that, I'm letting you rest now to ensure victory in the end. Let's get some rest, and I'm sure even our bench will get the job done."

The Pelicans came up in the fourth quarter with all bench players, and the point guard was DJ Augustin. The shooting guard is Oladipo, the small forward is the defensive maniac Thornton, the power forward is Brand, and the center is Biedrins.

saw the Pelicans suddenly come out of this lineup in the fourth quarter. Popovich was happy at first, thinking that there was a bargain to be taken advantage of, but then he didn't dare to make a move. It's just that on the sideline is to direct Ginobili to test it.

Ginobili was very disdainful of Popovich's indecision, he dribbled and shook twice in front of DJ Augustin, and immediately determined DJ Augustin's defensive ability, and immediately deceived DJ Augustin with two lightning-fast feints.

A black shadow came up towards the Pelican's inside line, and when Ginobili killed like this, he immediately felt much more relaxed all over his body, and he had never felt so relaxed when playing with the other five people of the Pelicans.

Once on the inside, Brand and Biedrins flew in a hurry, the two old guys having done their best.

But they really don't have that ability, and they can only watch Ginobili come over and score on the Pelicans' heads.

"Ah, Ginobili's breakthrough is so light."

Tyron Boggs had watched the game for a long time, and now he came up and saw such a very light layup, and he naturally called out.

At this time, the fans of the ATT arena were also extremely surprised, how could Ginobili's layup be so light.

Actually, this thing is very simple, the Pelicans are defending DJ Augustin and rookie Oladipo on the outside.

Facing Ginobili who pounced on him, the two of them had no means of defense at all except fouls, so Ginobili broke through so lightly.

After Ginobili scored, he raised his hands very proudly, and then he immediately ran to Popovich's side while returning to the defense:

'Coach, their defensive intensity has dropped and it's a good opportunity.

Popovich's eyes lit up and he said:

"Since it's a good opportunity, you shouldn't miss it."

Popovich is plotting here to prepare Ginobili to attack the city, and the Pelicans' bench lineup came to attack, and none of the Pelicans' bench players are offensive players.

But it doesn't matter, now in the middle of them there is also a DJ Augustine's storage zài.

DJ Augustin followed the rhythm of the Pelicans, and when it came to the Spurs' half, first Thornton gave DJ Augustin a cover.

Oladipo used the cover to flash to a 30-degree position, and in the half, DJ Augustin hurriedly stuffed the basketball into Oladipo's hands, and Ayres, who had better defensive ability and awareness, hurriedly blocked Oladipo.

Oladipo didn't have a chance after receiving the ball, he didn't rush to attack or dribble, but immediately passed the basketball to Brand, who had just arrived in the low post on this side, and Brand took the basketball.

Oladipo broke through and ran to take advantage of Brand holding the ball here to break the low-post offensive stance, and the bottom line behind the butt slipped through all of a sudden, and Ayers wanted to follow, and then ran behind Thornton to vacate it.

After a hesitation, Brand returned the ball to DJ Augustin at the top of the arc, and at this time, Oladipo used another inside player, Brand, to bypass Brand from the baseline and make another curve move and cover.

So Oladipo ran an S-shaped line in the Spurs' low post behind Thornton's cover. Ping used two screens in a row before Oladipo came out of the low post and there was not a single defender around.

Split, who replaced Duncan, didn't pay attention to Oladipo at all, and at this time, the basketball was stuffed directly into Oladipo's hands from the top of the arc, and DJ Augustin's pass timing was still good.

Oladipo took two steps from the three-second zone and went straight to the jumper, and Oladipo's shot was short and quick, and he shot the basketball into the Spurs' basket without a hint of mud.

DJ Augustin Table, Xiàn, surprised Tyrone Boggs a bit.

"This guy's running thief looks like Miller's guy, but if it's Miller, this ball could be three points."

Tyrone Boggs said this, and said with a little regret.

Popovich with the Pelicans' crippled bench would have no means to score at all, and he didn't expect this DJ Augustin to pop up out of nowhere.

He immediately commanded his ball; Breaking through hard to break through the Pelicans' defense, this time it was Parker who executed the break, Parker dribbled past DJ Augustin, and at this time it was mostly seen that the Pelicans' defensive intensity on the court was reduced after the Pelicans' bench players came on the court.

After 12 minutes of crazy suppression by the Pelicans, the ATT arena finally cheered happily.

The Spurs just hit a ball, and the Pelicans ran over without expression, and after coming, Oladipo immediately drilled in the middle, and it was Thornton who was the first to cover Oladipo in the horn position.

Oladi Po Sandton. Ailes and Split were worried for a moment after they quickly went straight to the Spurs' basket, and then they saw Thornton suddenly turn around and make a big curl cut to the right after inserting it into the basket.

Parker, who was following Oladipo, hurriedly chased Oladipo as he chased after him. Oladipo suddenly took a break and flashed Parker out, and then DJ Augustin saw the stitch and sent the basketball to Oladipo's hands, and Oladipo was Parker one step away from receiving the ball. The first step was Ayres, just in the middle of the two, but Oladipo still made a move. It's a quick shot, and there's a little bit of a one-handed toss.

In the meeting of two people, Tony hit this mid-range shot, Oladipo scored a goal in front, and now continue to score, and this incident is noticed by everyone who is watching the game.

"Now the Pelicans actually use DJ Augustin as the core of the offense, and the whole team's running and tactics are designed for him, which is too risky, and the Pelicans simply don't take the Spurs into account when they play like this."

Hubi Brown saw that DJ Augustin had succeeded again at this time, and he said with great affection.

"Huh!"

At this time, Tyrone Boggs said:

"It's really a matter of luck to have a shooter at the core, and now that the Pelicans' bench doesn't have much defense, it does look like it's hanging over Oladipo's hand."

"But there are so many shooters in the league who are the core of the team, such as Nowitzki, such as Corey, how they play in the team, the use of shooters definitely does not rely on the feel, strictly speaking, the shooter is a strategic storage like the center."

Apparently Hubby Brown didn't quite understand Tillon Boggs' theory, but with Oladipo's goal, the Pelicans' bench cheered again.

Ginobili also feels a little weird now, it seems that their team is much better than the opponent, they can't defend, the offense depends on one person, but how can they not take the opponent, this situation is definitely a lot on the court, this is because what, because the opponent will use resources more than you, they can get effective scoring with limited resources, this is the feeling when watching the Spurs game, but you, even if you have more resources, you can't use them, you can't convert into points, this is the feeling when watching the Clippers game.

Now the Pelicans are using all their resources to make Oladipo ball, and Oladipo is also very long-faced, at this time the feel is very good, all kinds of heat are mastered, and the Spurs are a little Split wonderful.

At this time, Ginobili didn't believe that such a DJ Augustin could support the Pelicans' weak limbs, Ginobili didn't believe this, and when he faced DJ Augustin again, Thornton, who was behind DJ Augustin, was already preparing to help defend. This thing, if Ginobili himself played DJ Augustine, there would be no problem, but now that Thornton is over, things are a bit troublesome.

The Pelicans are like a defensive strongman, and it is great for a team to have a good outside defense, and there are three people who have a good outside defense for the Pelicans, one is Li Feng, one is Caron Butler, and the other is Thornton, all three of them are very difficult.

As soon as Ginobili saw that Thornton was behind him, he dismissed his plan to fight DJ Augustine. He immediately passed the basketball to Split, who hit Brand with the ball, although Brand had nothing to praise in the statement.

But he also has his own advantage over Split, that is, Brand has a long rest, and don't look at Brand old, his physical condition is also maintained well, much better than Split who is missing an organ.

Split took the ball and turned, then turned around and suddenly shot at Brand's right side, but just when Split thought he could easily fix the nameless blue-collar man. Brand made a block and pulled Split's ball down.

The basketball seemed to be slapped at Thornton at a moment's notice, and Thornton desperately grabbed the basketball, and then immediately launched a fast break. When it comes to teams with size advantages, the Pelicans have always been about fast-paced basketball.

The Pelicans rushed over like a tidal wave, and Popovich could barely believe that it was the Pelicans' fragmented bench lineup playing against his own team. I can't believe that Split was actually capped by the old brand.

But at this time, in Li Feng's eyes, there was an expression of Brand sitting at the entrance of the players' tunnel, the game always belongs to those stars. But basketball players still have all their dreams, and sometimes, the NBA stage should bloom for them.

Thornton desperately ran back, attracting Ginobili's defense, he looked back and saw that Oladipo's side had been ambushed, the Spurs' people were already eyeing Oladipo, only DJ Augustin had no one around, it was a good opportunity to shoot.

So Thornton quickly passed the basketball to DJ Augustin's hands, DJ Augustin held the basketball in his hand, stood outside the three-point line, glanced at the basket, didn't dare to shoot and didn't dare to make a move at all, at this time the people behind the defense came back, DJ Augustin wanted to shoot and didn't have a chance, this three-point fast attack, immediately became a half-court battle, at this time Thornton shook his head, if Li Feng was here, Thornton didn't dare to imagine what kind of offense would appear.

Since the fast break has become a half-court offense, DJ Augustin has no choice, and Parker, who defends himself, also sticks himself to death, at this time DJ Augustin looks like he has neither height nor weight, nor even speed, but don't be afraid, just look at DJ Augustin, unhurriedly walking towards the Spurs' basket, whether to walk or not run.

Parker naturally let Oladipo in, he reached out and pushed Oladipo, Parker didn't push it, it's okay, as soon as Parker came into contact with Oladipo, DJ Augustin immediately stuck to Parker's body like mud This is not an ordinary sticker, but as long as Parker moves, this Oladipo may even fall.

At this time, Parker regretted very much that he shouldn't have played, he shouldn't have come to defend Oladipo, this guy is simply obscene to the extreme, no one can defend at all, defend this guy, he will be faster than you for a while, he will be slower than you, and now he is sticking to himself.

But the current situation is that you defend the opponent, but not the opponent defending yourself.

Parker was extremely bored, just when he saw that Brand also joined the station group and came over to stand in front of Parker, and DJ Augustin, who seemed to be muddy just now, suddenly turned around and used Brand's cover to leave Parker behind.

At this time, DJ Augustin's pass went to Oladipo's hands, DJ Augustin was not confident in his own shooting, but the timing of the pass was very good.

Oladipo came up to borrow DJ Augustin's basketball, at this time the Spurs had completely returned to defense, Ayers hurriedly came to the empty Oladipo, and Oladipo also immediately passed back to DJ Augustin himself to continue to run empty-handed.

What can Ayres do at this time, he can only chase Oladipo by himself, but his legs and feet are really not good, he is a big man and can't catch up with Oladipo, at this time DJ Augustin passed the ball to Oladipo's hands again. Oladipo takes a comfortable jump step and then shoots a jumper.

Basketball is easy to enter the net, the Pelicans now take a DJ Augustin as the core, and the game is both simple and single, but the Spurs actually found that they have no way to take such a DJ Augustin is to slide and not keep his hands, he simply gives any defensive player a chance, a single never shot, there is cover and run, you run and he stops. You stop him and keep running, but once you get the basketball, the shooting percentage is amazingly accurate.

Popovich is now a little bit angry with DJ Augustin, just such a guy, his team can't defend, he yelled, let his team crush DJ Augustin in front of him, a small DJ Augustin has been delaying them for a lot of time.

And now the Pelicans are still two points ahead of the Spurs, after being yelled at by Popovich. Ginobili finally made up his mind to start the game well, and he was the first to call a cover from outside the three-point line, but he didn't want a big man on the inside, just Parker.

He and Parker did a cross screen on the perimeter. Immediately on the head of DJ Augustin, who was still incomparable just now, he started shooting, and Ginobili's height and bouncing Oladipo simply had no way to compete.

But to Ginobili's surprise, this Oladipo didn't plan to give himself a chance to shoot at all, he couldn't reach himself. But below he slapped a hard palm on his shoulder, knocking himself directly out of the air.

I'd rather foul than let you shoot the basketball.

The referee gave the batter a foul. Ginobili went to the free throw line, but Ginobili was still upset, hitting one of two free throws at the free throw line, at this time Popovich saw that this could not solve the problem, so he glanced at Duncan, Duncan knew that Popovich was going to use himself, and he smiled triumphantly.

The Pelicans possessed the ball, at this time DJ Augustin had scored three goals in a row, and the Spurs' defense of him had risen to a very high stage, and Parker was close to DJ Augustin.

DJ Augustine wants height, no height, no strength, even speed does not rely on anything to score, what to rely on to support the Pelicans' offensive system, at this time DJ Augustin uses action to tell you

Aren't you Parker a close defender of me, and after half-time, DJ Augustin immediately threw his legs and ran fast, running fast on both legs, and DJ Augustin didn't play much in front of him.

When he arrived on the court, DJ Augustin ran to the bottom line as fast as he could, how dare Parker let go of this guy half a step, and hurriedly chased after him, but when he got to the position near the bottom line, Oladipo suddenly paused, last time he threw Parker off like this, this time Oladipo seemed to want to repeat the old trick and stopped and wanted to run back and reach out for the ball.

It's almost the same as the last deception, but this time Parker can't be fooled, he stops in time, and looks at Oladipo in time, but this time when Parker stops, Oladipo suddenly runs again.

This time, DJ Augustin's ball quickly stuffed into Oladipo's hand, and Oladipo took the ball and dribbled and jumped in one step.

Ayres scrambled to pounce, but Oladipo jumped not to shoot, but to shove the basketball down the baseline into Brand's hand, and Brand got the basketball and turned around and dunked it on top of the Spurs' basket.

Let Brand dunk, Brand can jump as high as a matchbox, and the Spurs also let Brand dunk, at this time Popovich immediately called a timeout, if he doesn't hand in the timeout, he will go crazy.

And at this time, Tyrone Boggs was already crazy in the commentary seat:

"Oh my God, did you see it, Hubi Pelicans withstood the Spurs' attack with a DJ Augustin, this DJ Augustin's running is simply amazing, even Parker's close defense can't catch up with him, he's very cunning, look at the way he uses his running to play Parker, it's like he's playing hide and seek with a child."
