Chapter 451 Fight to the last moment

Davis has scored 26 points!In this series, he has scored more than 30 points in two consecutive games.Including the first round, he has scored more than 30 points in four consecutive games.Looking at it this way, Davis scored 30 points in this game, so there should be no big problem!

Putting it on anyone who plays in the NBA, 30+ in a row is something to be proud of.30+ in a row in the playoffs is even more incredible!But now Davis's face is not the slightest happy color.His team was overtaken again!He had too many questions in his mind, but no one gave him an answer.

Everyone's mood is low.It was thought that returning to New Orleans would change, but it turned out to be heartbreaking.It seems that nothing is different.

"Uh……"

Davis wanted to say something.But I don't know how to speak.He was really not used to such an atmosphere.He is not suitable for such a role.From beginning to end, Anthony Davis was not a qualified leader.He prefers to charge up the court.

In this Pelicans team, there is no player who can tidy up the locker room.Holiday's character is even more restrained than Davis, otherwise, his achievements are much higher than they are now.Moore's personality is quite good, but both ability and reputation are very average.Can't hold back these big guys.Mirotic, who joined the Pelicans at the end, has a bad reputation and is not suitable for such a thing when he is a newcomer.After all, with the name of Blood Flower Brothers, it would be nice not to become a cancer in the locker room!

The only one who can say a few words is Rondo!
As a veteran who has played in the league for many years, he has won a championship again.Rondo has rich playoff experience and skilled offensive and defensive skills.Although he has been wandering around these years, once he has a place to play, he can play the performance that people want to see.Just like the series between the Bulls and the Celtics last season, and the series between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers this season.And this season, Rondo often picked up Gentry's tactical board and played the role of the on-site commander.These players are quite convinced by his words.Moreover, he himself seemed to understand that it was time to stand up and do something at this time.

"Hey hey! Guys! Don't be depressed! Did everyone start to reflect before the game was over!" Rondo clapped his hands and glanced at the players who couldn't bear to be downcast.After everyone turned their attention, he continued: "Although we are a little behind now, in fact we have only one point that we haven't done well! If we do this point well, the score will be brought back soon The victory still belongs to the New Orleans Pelicans!"

Having said that, even Gentry surrounded him with a tactical board.He was pulling Holiday to talk about some tactics. He felt that Holiday's performance in this series was the main reason why the Pelicans fell into a passive position.And other points are played very well.So he took advantage of this little time and took Holiday to teach him the opportunity.

"Every game we lead in the first two quarters, it's because we defend their outside offense very well. But every second half, this defense becomes lax! They start scoring from beyond the three-point line, and then Stretched our defenses and ended up falling inside and out."

At this time, Rondo looked up at Gentry.After all, the head coach of the Pelicans is him instead of himself, and Rondo still respects Gentry very much.Seeing Gentry nod, he continued: "Next, we will push the defense straight out. Let them go inside. We have Anthony, and the defense is not a big problem. Don't worry about the first position, the shooting is not accurate! We... "

In fact, what Rondo said was what Gentry emphasized before the game.But when all the Pelicans players were very confused, he once again clearly figured out the previous tactics. Although they could not achieve earth-shaking changes, at least these players knew what to do.This is very important for the current Pelicans.

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans began to make changes.As Rondo said, they pushed their defense to the three-point line.Although the whole is only pushed one step further, the restrictions on An Luo and Paul George have been raised a lot.Under such circumstances, the Thunder's imposing outside offense in the second quarter was extinguished.An Luo's good days are over!The double insurance of Holiday and Rondo made him very difficult.As soon as the basketball is in his hands, it will be double-teamed immediately!And it was double-teamed by two top perimeter defensive players.

Westbrook suddenly became the Rondo of the Thunder!He was left wide open at the three-point line.Although his three-pointers are much better than Rondo's, he failed to find the touch in this game.After being double-teamed, An Luo immediately passed the basketball to Westbrook who was emptied.After the latter received the ball, he found no defense and immediately shot!
"boom!"

Hard work!
The rebound was grabbed by Davis and then passed to Rondo.The latter rushed up immediately after receiving the ball.Thunder's retreat was quite quick, and An Luo charged and got stuck in front of Rondo's right, making him go left.The fast break failed, and Rondo stopped outside the three-point line.Of course he didn't want to shoot, but waited for Davis to pick and roll for himself.Although it was also a pick-and-roll, Davis did not go straight to the basket this time, but retreated outside the three-point line.

After An Luo switched over, he knew it was going to be bad!Davis has three points!Moreover, there is no good way to defend such a large and high fort, An Luo.

Adams defended very well, but Rondo's breakthrough was in vain.But An Luo really had a problem here.After Davis received the ball from outside the three-point line, he threw it facing An Luo.Although An Luo tried hard to raise his hands to interfere.But his abnormal wingspan can only be blamed for defeating Davis in front of Davis.

The so-called: one trick is eaten all over the world.When Davis found that the tactics Rondo told him were very effective, he kept floating outside the three-point line.With the addition of Mirotic, the Pelicans' formation on the court suddenly became weird: the shortest Rondo stayed at the basket, the two guards, Holiday and Moore, stayed within the three-point line. The two big men, Weiss and Mirotic, floated outside.What's even more frightening is that the touch of these two big men is quite hot!

However, Thunder's actions are also very fast!Donovan switched Paul George and Anlo for a defensive position.Although Davis cannot be completely restricted, the Pelicans' offense has also weakened.However, they have recovered the score by a large margin!
