Chapter 436 Advance to the Finals

Game [-] of the Warriors vs. Pelicans.

Coach Cole responded quickly. The last game has made him fully understand the strength of the Pelicans' bench, especially that Antetokounmpo.

The other party is absolutely worthy of the status of champion.

Cole couldn't help but think of the Spurs team led by his mentor Popovich, which also has a strong rotation lineup at the forefront of the league.

This is also the reason why the Spurs can last for a long time and still be at the forefront of the league despite the successive aging of GDP.

"It's just that the Spurs' rotation is strong in tactics and execution, and the Pelicans."

Kerr glanced at Antetokounmpo, Vince Carter, JJ Redick, Oden and Diaw on the court.

"The rotation of the Pelicans is so fucking eye-catching."

Kerr knew that it was impossible for the Warriors to compete with the Pelicans in the rotation, so in order to keep up with the Pelicans' offensive and defensive capabilities in the second quarter, he could only let Curry and Durant play early and replace Iraq as soon as possible. Godara.

Snapped!
On the court, Iguodala made an accurate cut and took out the layup that Leonard was determined to win, successfully resolving the crisis.

Iguodala's key defense also ushered in high-five encouragement from all teammates.

On the CCTV commentary station, Su Qun praised: "Iguodala is very famous for his chops, be quick and ruthless!"

"As early as the 76ers, he caused trouble for too many players by cutting the ball with this hand. Even James was destroyed by his cutting the ball many times at the basket."

Yu Jia nodded in agreement and said: "Iguodala's playing still solved many problems of the Warriors."

"The offense can't score, the defense can't defend, and now they have given the Pelicans a lot of trouble at least on the defensive end."

On the court, Li Lai was a little surprised to see the Warriors have taken his own five-death lineup so early. After all, this lineup consumes too much physical strength of the players, and it also needs the opponent's lack of physical strength to play fast and effective. Position attack and counter fast break.

Of course, although there were some surprises, it was also expected by Li Lai. After all, the Warriors had no other better way, and could only use their ultimate move as soon as possible.

Stevens reminded: "Coach, the Warriors have already played a 7:2 offensive high slot with a small lineup of Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Durant and Green."

"We have to react immediately."

Du Feng also had the same thought and looked at Li Lai anxiously.

The Warriors' lineup and flexible style of play are indeed eye-catching, and Green's high-level licensing has brought a lot of trouble to Jordan and Oden.

Li Lai stood up and walked towards the technical platform, gestured for a pause, and immediately adjusted and replaced people.

Paul, Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis and Antetokounmpo.

"Five against five!"

Kenny Smith from the on-site commentary stand couldn't help shouting in amazement.

In the playoffs of last season, when the Warriors won the five-hour death, the Pelicans also won the five-hour death without giving in.

The result was that the Warriors were beaten to pieces.

This season, the Warriors introduced Iguodala to make their death five small lineup as perfect as possible, and the Pelicans also introduced Antetokounmpo
Kenny Smith looked at the somewhat perverted lineup of the Pelicans, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

At the end of the game, the Pelicans won the game again with 118:110, a big score of 2:0.

In the post-match interview, a reporter directly said: "Coach Cole, tonight I counted the time the Warriors and the Pelicans' five dead lineups spent on the court, and they reached an amazing match, both of which were 20 minutes."

"During that span, the Pelicans outscored the Warriors 55-40."

"If I remember correctly, in the regular season and the playoffs this year, when the Warriors played five dead and played more than 15 minutes, they were undefeated."

"Tonight is the first time."

Cole looked at the reporter with a tired face, and held the microphone in silence for a long time. Finally, with a sore nose, he shook his head and left the press conference.

"Made, don't bring such a bully."

For this round of the series, most fans are a little disappointed. After all, the Warriors and Pelicans are the only two teams in the league that have won more than 70 games this season, but the contest between the two on the court is completely one-sided. situation.

For the Warriors, the good news is that they are about to return to their home court. Although they are 0:2 behind, they have not completely lost the possibility of winning the series.

Game three of the series.

In a crucial game for the Warriors, the Pelicans had taken the lead 65:54 in the third quarter.

According to the steady game style of the Pelicans, they will definitely hold on to the score advantage until the end of the game after the whistle.

But what no one, including Li Lai, expected.

The craziest three-point performance in the playoffs in NBA history appeared.

Klay Thompson made only 7 of 2 three-pointers under Leonard's defense before halftime, and in fact he was inefficient under Leonard's defense throughout the series.

But in the third quarter that followed, Klay Thompson was like a savior, hitting 6 consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter, and all of them were made by the Warriors when they were almost in a desperate state.

Every shot is saving the lives of the Warriors, almost to the point where it's ready to go home after a miss.

Later, Li Lai even asked Jimmy Butler to defend Klay Thompson, and even double-teamed Thompson, but the opponent's fiery touch was terrifying and suffocating.

It won't work if anyone comes to guard against it!
In the third game of the series, Thompson tied Curry's single-game three-point playoff record created by the Bucks with 11 three-pointers in a single game.

全场投篮22投17中，仅投丢了上半场的5球，也就是说下半场汤普森的所有投篮全中！狂砍44分带领勇士队以118:111赢下了鹈鹕队！

Because this game is the Warriors' home court, Lacob, the fanatical basketball fan of their team owner, even knelt down during the game, worshiped Klay Thompson, and shouted.

"The Buddha's light shines!"

Li Lai knew that the players in the team were discouraged by Klay Thompson's terrifying performance tonight, but they initially led by a full 11 points!
In order to restore the team's morale, Li Lai said directly at the post-match press conference: "This is the last and only time."

"There's no such thing as a Buddha, Klay Thompson just got hot tonight."

In the subsequent fourth game, Klay Thompson encountered Leonard's almost crazy defense, and this kind of defense was only enjoyed by James in the finals last season.

第四场比赛，克莱汤普森全场18投6中，只拿到了14分5篮板2助攻的数据，鹈鹕队以3:1率先取得了赛点。

Back in New Orleans for Game [-], the Pelicans looked to end the series at home, but the tenacious Warriors gave them a big challenge.

Fucking Green is the only player who hasn't changed his spirit and fighting spirit. He doesn't care what the end of the playoffs is, and it doesn't matter how strong the Pelicans are.

With Durant and Curry being guarded to death by the Pelicans one after another, Green broke out inside and outside at the same time, playing the best playoff game of his career.

全场15投11中，三分8中6，德雷蒙德格林砍下了32分15篮板9助攻的准三双数据，投篮命中率高达73.3%。

Barkley even bluntly said that if the Warriors get through in this round of the series, the FMVP may be Green's.

In Game [-], the Pelicans ended the series at the Chase Center.

Both Curry and Durant scored 40+ data, which is extremely terrifying.

But the Pelicans are in full bloom, and there are 20 people who scored 4+ data alone, Leonard, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis and Antetokounmpo.

"Congratulations to the Pelicans for winning the game 112:107 and beating the Warriors 4:2!"

"Next, they will advance to the NBA Finals and successfully win the division finals for the second consecutive year!"
