The Pelicans started off like a rainbow!
The emotions of the fans are also extremely excited, the feeling of holding back their energy and wanting to get revenge at the beginning, just like waking up to find that the goddess is really in their arms.
Absolute orgasm!
Gasol Jr. played Whiteside in the low post, and made a difficult fallback hit and finally broke the scoring shortage for the Grizzlies.
After he scored a goal, he roared and punched, and the Grizzlies bench also shouted excitedly.
The Grizzlies are not so easy to mess with in the playoffs!
Tang Tian continued to receive the ball in the front court and was double-teamed. It was still Conley, and he gave the ball to Holiday again.
This time the Grizzlies were already prepared, and Lee's defense rotation came quickly.
Holiday gave the ball to Ariza, and Conley quickly defended it.
This impenetrable defense is the basis for the Grizzlies to overwhelm the playoffs.
But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly turned around and ran back to the three-point line.
Ariza returned the ball, and he made a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.
Aaron didn't keep up with his footsteps, and Tang Tian was much taller than him, so he didn't have time for this kind of interference, so he could only stretch out his hand to interfere as much as possible.
"Shh!"
Tang Tian also made a three-pointer against Allen's attempt!
11 is better than 2!
The Pelicans made all 3 of their opening [-]-pointers and went crazy!
"I... I don't know how to explain the state of the Pelicans, I can only say that all of them are playing with a vengeance."
Breen in the commentary seat saw the fiery state of the Pelicans at the beginning of the game, and he couldn't hide his excitement in his words as he was experienced in commentary.
The word revenge is always played on the NBA stage, but not many are really successful.
Being able to witness and serve as a commentator, this kind of emotion is completely natural.
The Grizzlies' frontcourt cooperation was completely unplayable.
That defense is almost at the same level as the opposite Grizzlies.
Perhaps it was because of the fire of revenge as Brin said, or maybe it was stimulated by Tang Tian's Hawaii star car model tour before the game, the Pelicans are really in a surprisingly good state tonight.
The Grizzlies couldn't cooperate, and in the end they could only give the ball to Randolph for low singles.
Randolph this time turned and walked to the basket.
"boom!"
What greeted him was Whiteside's big hat covering his head and face.
When did the big black bear suffer this kind of anger, and was blocked by the Pelicans Twin Towers in the paint.
But he didn't have a chance to vent his anger. There was not much time left in this attack on the Grizzlies. Conley made a strong three-pointer from the outside and went straight.
The Grizzlies' offense failed again.
Holiday took possession of the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Tang Tian.
Conley continued to double-team, the ball was given to Holiday, and Holiday shot against Lee's defense this time.
"Dangdang!"
This time the three-point shot finally hit the iron.
But Davis flew into the inside, pointed at the popped ball, and directly filled the ball into the basket.
13 is better than 2!
Jogel reached out and called a timeout.
The game only lasted more than three minutes, and the Pelicans already had a double-digit lead!
He had to call a timeout to contain the momentum of the Pelicans.
After the timeout, Randolph turned around and forced Davis under the basket. After missing a shot, he made a tip-up and scored.
Turning around, Tang Tian held the ball again, seeing that the Grizzlies didn't double-team immediately, and called Davis to play a pick-and-roll.
After disassembling, he walked out and saw that the Grizzlies hadn't double-teamed yet, so he made an emergency stop at a high position and pulled out his hand.
After Randolph saw it, he flew up and couldn't control his body to hit Tang Tian's hand.
"beep!"
"Shh!"
The ball went into the net hollow after the referee whistled.
A 2+1!
The cheers of MVP have already sounded at the scene.
Tang Tian's extra penalty missed, and Whiteside took the ball out.
After Tang Tian got the ball, he dribbled to the three-point line, and suddenly turned around and made a three-pointer before shooting.
"Shh!"
Still in!
Tang Tian scored 5 points in one round!
18 is better than 4!
In the opening 5 minutes, with this score, the Grizzlies were hammered tonight!
Chapter 668 You Have No Chance To Revenge The Spurs (Third Update!)
The Grizzlies are famous for their tough league.
Their impregnable defense in the playoffs also caused headaches for all opponents.
But tonight, the Pelicans are like Gatlin tonight, even though the Grizzlies have a solid wall, they will beat you into a sieve!
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies 116-90 at home and won the first victory of the series.
Tang Tian played three quarters and easily scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, a quasi triple-double.
戴维斯得到全队最高的27分9板5盖帽,阿里扎和霍乐迪各投进3记三分,怀特塞德也有9分13板3盖帽的表现。
The Pelicans shot 56% from the field and over 60% from three-pointers throughout the game!
They shot the Grizzlies hard tonight.
The Grizzlies were beaten up, and they were speechless.
In the locker room after the game, the players of the Pelicans were celebrating wildly.
This is the most hearty way to win!
This victory vented all the anger of being eliminated last year.
As soon as Davis came out of the shower, Holiday and Whiteside pushed him to the ground, ripped off his towel, and slapped his bare butt.
This kind of celebration full of affection made Tang Tian, who was sitting on the seat, couldn't help smiling wryly and shaking his head.
The Pelicans are indeed a team dominated by young people.
"We're going to end the series pretty quickly, right?"
McGee was sitting next to Tang Tian at this time, and said with a smile.
"Hopefully."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
If the Pelicans maintain the state of this game, the possibility of ending the series within four games still exists.
Playing the Grizzlies is all about fighting hard. If you are dragged beyond five games, or even a tiebreaker, then the outcome of the game will be really hard to tell.
Two days later, the second game between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies continued at the New Orleans Arena.
The Pelicans were united, but they ran into trouble after the game started.
The Grizzlies suffered a big defeat for the first time, and in the second game, they made adjustments in the defensive matchup, allowing Randolph to defend Whiteside and letting Gasol Jr. to match Davis.
The result of this adjustment is that Whiteside did not adjust well in the confrontation with Randolph, and fell into a foul crisis early.
Jokic couldn't play yet, and the Pelicans' inside line collapsed a little after Whiteside played.
And the Grizzlies' mid-season traded substitute Jeff Green ushered in an explosion. He scored a Grizzlies-high 24 points.
In the end, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Pelicans 97-93, tying the series at 1-1.
In this game, the Grizzlies proved their competitiveness in the playoffs and also grabbed the home court advantage of the series from the Pelicans.
In the press conference after the game, Zach Randolph couldn't hide the smile on his face.
In this game, he scored a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds.
"We knew the Pelicans' Game [-] touch wasn't going to be the norm, and like I said at the beginning, I knew we were going to win the series."
The 1-1 situation is somewhat different from the expectations of the fans after the last game, but for the coaching staff and players of the Pelicans, this is not an unacceptable ending.
After all, the opponent is the most difficult Grizzlies in the playoffs. You can't really let the Grizzlies win a game.
However, after tying the score and gaining home court advantage, the Grizzlies fans were quite excited.
They're really good at this down-and-up matchup, and the Pelicans series seems to be headed in that direction right now.
Two days later, the two teams moved to Memphis to continue the series.
Before the start of the game, local fans in Memphis frantically poured into the FedEx Arena. The enthusiasm of the fans here is not lower than that in New Orleans.
Outside the arena, fans put their excitement into words.
Many fans shot at the camera, shouted frantically to help the home team, and posted on social media.
"We are the Pelicans' nemesis!"
"Welcome to the playoffs! This is our stage!"
"Don, you can't get revenge on us, just like Kevin Durant! You have no chance to get revenge on the Spurs!"
……
In the locker room before the match, Tang Tian was in the locker room preparing for the match.
"Don, do you see all those social media accounts of Memphis fans?"
McGee took the mobile phone and said to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian took a look at the phone, smiled after reading it, and returned it to McGee.
"Javier, don't be distracted to watch these before the game, focus on the game."
Tang Tian said very disapprovingly.
When these fans clamored, they compared him to Durant, which made him a little uncomfortable.
But he can't show this emotion. The Pelicans are a young team, and his boss' emotions can easily affect the players.
McGee nodded after listening, smiled and threw the phone aside.
Tang Tian's relaxed posture also boosted the morale of the Pelicans.
The game is about to start, and players from both sides have come to the court one after another.
Tang Tian noticed that Aminu kept patting his chest there.
In the last game, he scored 24 points against Green, and he was obviously dissatisfied with his performance.
Tang Tian went over and patted him on the shoulder to let him relax.
Although he couldn't start because he couldn't develop a three-pointer, his defense is still tough enough.
Green ate dumplings in the last game, it is impossible to eat dumplings all at once.
