If you simply shoot open positions, the three outside shooters of the Pelicans have a 40%+ three-point shooting rate, which can kill the Grizzlies directly like the first game.
And although the Grizzlies' defense is strong, they are not the Warriors after all.
Without the ability to change defenses infinitely, it is impossible to double-team the three-point line and at the same time prevent other players from finding open opportunities.
Tang Tian got a one-on-one chance.
But the premise is that he doesn't go to the free throw line. If he goes to the free throw line, the Grizzlies' inside double-team can still come out.
Allen lowered his focus. The change of the Pelicans forced him and Tang Tian to have a one-on-one outside.
But this is also his chance to prove himself again. As a top perimeter defender, he has been blasted by Tang Tian almost once this season.
Tang Tian put on a three-threat posture, and after dribbling the ball with his body down, he suddenly took a step to the right and started.
Allen followed up and immediately put up a physical confrontation.
His defensive response was almost perfect.
But Tang Tian stopped abruptly and turned back.
The connection of this technical movement was extremely smooth, and Allen tried his best to keep up with Tang Tian's breakthrough, but he still couldn't keep up with this one.
Tang Tian leaned back and shot.
"Shh!"
The pose is picturesque.
Tang Tian scored the Pelicans' first goal of the second half.
If you don't get to the free throw line, you won't be double-teamed, and the high post becomes Tang Tian's one-on-one scoring area.
Fortunately, he has pull-ups and fallbacks, and he does not lack scoring methods in this area.
However, both technologies have a lot to do with feel.
So what he has to do is to create good shooting opportunities as much as possible when he and Allen are facing each other one-on-one, and then steadily throw the ball into the basket.
In the Grizzlies' offense, Gasol Jr. held the ball in the high post, and Randolph sank to the basket.
In order to pursue offense, the Pelicans let Davis play at the fifth position. The defensive system collapsed, and the black and white duo can overwhelm the inside.
However, after Gasol held the ball, he discovered that the Pelicans were using a 2-3 zone defense, and the basket was full of people.
Allen was completely released, and Randolph was double-teamed by Ariza and Tang Tian when he sank to the basket.
Allen's point is really too easy to be targeted.
Gasol Jr. chose to return the ball to Conley.
Conley called Allen's pick-and-roll, broke it and broke into the mid-range stop of the free throw line.
Tang Tian assisted in defending and went out to interfere.
"Dangdang!"
Conley's mid-range strike.
Ariza desperately resisted Randolph, and Davis turned around to protect the defensive rebound.
Williams clenched his fists hard on the bench.
With Tang Tian around, he doesn't worry about the offensive ability of this lineup, what he worries about is defense.
Defensive play on this round means a lot to the Pelicans, at least it means that this is a viable lineup.
Holiday held the ball and advanced to the front court, and continued to pass the ball to Tang Tian.
At the same opportunity, Tang Tian continued to hit Allen one by one.
This time Tang Tian made three threats directly, and after a fake move, he collected the ball and started to accelerate one step further.
The deterrent effect of the combination of surprise and throwing is beginning to be manifested, and the accelerated start of the first step of the bombing of the turtle is really practical for Tang Tian now.
Allen didn't follow.
Tang Tian's sudden stop was basically undisturbed.
"Shh!"
Dry drawing is picturesque.
After Tang came up in the second half, he played singles twice in a row and scored 4 points in a row!
Jogel couldn't help reaching out and patting his forehead.
Sure enough, one-on-one, if Tang Tian wanted to score, Allen, who was no longer at his peak, could no longer restrain him.
The Grizzlies' offense uses the same tactic. Conley uses Allen's pick-and-roll to shoot directly from outside the three-point line.
The ball still missed. Conley is strong in organization and breakthrough, and his shooting is not so stable.
But Randolph squeezed Ariza away and made a tip-in.
It is indeed difficult for Ariza to confront Randolph in the penalty area.
The Pelicans' offense was still Tang Tian's singles. After a feint of a breakthrough, he directly made a three-pointer.
"Dangdang!"
The ball missed, he couldn't score all the balls.
Gasol Jr. protects the defensive rebound.
Conley advanced to the frontcourt. This time he didn't give the ball to Gasol Jr., but called Lee to pick and roll.
After dismantling the ball, he misplaced and hit Morrow, and a one-step throw that broke through the free throw line caused a foul by Morrow.
He got two free throw opportunities.
Tang Tian is very efficient in singles, but the defensive ability of the Pelicans' lineup is obviously not enough.
If Conley made both free throws, the two teams would still be tied.
This is equal to how many points Tang Tian scored and how many points the Pelicans lost on the defensive end.
"Put Al on."
When Conley made a free throw, Tang Tian turned to Williams and said.
Williams also saw the team's defensive problems, turned around and called Aminu up.
Conley made his first free throw.
Aminu came on to replace Morrow.
"When there is an opportunity on the offensive end, shoot decisively, regardless of whether you get in or not."
Tang Tian exhorted Aminu who had just played.
Aminu nodded vigorously.
He didn't guard Green last game, but he did in the first half, and his whole confidence came back.
Conley also made his second free throw.
54 to 54, the two teams continued to draw.
Tang Tian continued to play singles with the ball in the frontcourt, and Randolph let Aminu double-team him.
As a veteran of the NBA, his reaction is really fast.
Tang Tian threw the ball to Aminu, and the latter caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.
Jogel's eyes were calm.
Aminu's three-pointer is the most unstable in the wing of the Pelicans. It is completely acceptable for the Grizzlies to let him end the round.
"Shh!"
With a crisp sound, Aminu's three-pointer went into the net hollowly.
He got in!
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
Jogel was also stunned for a moment. The goal was of great significance to both teams on the field.
Conley took the ball upfield and gave it to Gasol.
At this time, Aminu's role on the defensive end was reflected. He was taller and stronger than Ariza, and when he double-teamed with Tang Tian, he stuck Randolph to death.
Gasol turned around and missed with a big hook, Aminu resisted Randolph, Tang Tian jumped up and received the defensive rebound.
He dribbles himself upfield.
After all his teammates were settled, he saw that Randolph was no longer double-teaming.
That three-pointer that Aminu made was really crucial.
He continued to hit Allen on the outside line, dribbled the ball with a low body continuously, accelerated again, stopped suddenly, turned around, swayed and leaned back, turned around and pulled out.
In front of Tang Tian's terrifying waist and abdomen strength, Allen obviously couldn't stand it.
Tang Tian got a comfortable opportunity to make a move.
The ball traced a perfect parabola in the air.
"Shh!"
The basketball hits the net hollow again.
4 times in singles and 3 times, Tang Tian has started the individual singles mode of the playoffs!
Chapter 671 Tang Tian Kills the Competition (Second Update!)
Jogel stood on the sidelines in a daze.
He was a little helpless.
Still a little uncomfortable.
This kind of unreasonable singles is really a bit incomprehensible.
You know he's going to score, but you just can't stop it.
Just like the peak Kobe with a group of CBA teammates, all opponents know that they just need to guard him, but he can still average 35.4 points per game.
And the rest of the Pelicans were really strong in this section, which gave Tang Tian enough space for singles.
Still like the peak Kobe, when his CBA teammates became good teammates, he directly came to a wave of two consecutive championships.
Randolph's inside storm is still not there.
Aminu is really a bit hard.
Davis blocked Gasol, and Tang Tian received another defensive rebound.
In the frontcourt, Tang Tian continued to hit Allen with the ball.
Allen has rich experience, but he has been beaten so many times in a row, and he doesn't know how to defend Tang Tian.
He instinctively fought with his upper body, Tang Tian directly changed his direction and completely passed him, and made a close-range pull from the free throw line.
"Shh!"
A crisp sound, and there!
Less than 5 minutes into the second half, Tang Tian had already scored 8 points!
The stage of the playoffs gave the Grizzlies a bonus, but Allen, who was no longer at his peak, was still blown like he was in the regular season.
Joerger called Jeff Green up to replace Allen.
If the defense can't be played, Allen will be useless on the court, and the offensive end will still be targeted.
At this time, it is better to go to Green and improve your offensive efficiency.
Conley went to the front court and gave the ball to Randolph for a low single.
The Pelicans shrank their defense and Randolph gave the ball to Green.
