The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Randolph singled against Whiteside in the frontcourt, turned around and shot back.

The ball crashed into the net over Whiteside's fingertips.

"You can't guard me, as I said, you can't guard me!"

Randolph yelled at Whiteside.

This is to repeat the old tricks like the previous game.

Whiteside frowned, but quickly relaxed it.

He's not very smart, but he's not insane either. Randolph worked once, but this is the third time. He won't be fooled again.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian double-teamed and turned around to take away all the defensive attention, and then gave the ball to Ariza on the weak side.

Ariza's three-point shot again.

"Shh!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.

Just like Tang Tian thought, it is impossible for the Pelicans to miss outside shots all the time.

Moreover, Ariza's first ball was just bad luck, and the feeling of shooting was completely different from that of playing.

The scene burst into cheers.

The Pelicans' outside line can make three-pointers, which has a huge impact on the situation on the court.

"Both sides are in good shape for this game."

Smith spoke in the commentary booth.

In the three games of the two teams, except for the first game, neither side scored more than [-] points. The defensive intensity was high and the scoring efficiency was low.

But in this game, they scored 9 points in just over a minute.

The defensive intensity on the field has not changed, which shows that both sides are in good condition.

"You may not believe it, but this is the first time the two teams have played in this state."

After finishing speaking, Smith did not forget to add.

Barkley and O'Neal thought about it after listening, and nodded in unison.

In the first game, the Pelicans were in full swing, in the second game, Whiteside had a foul crisis, in the third game, Whiteside was expelled, and in the fourth game, the Pelicans lost their collective touch outside.

The Grizzlies on the opposite side played very steadily, but the Pelicans really showed the characteristics of the young team to the fullest, with ups and downs, like a roller coaster.

All in all, this is really the status of both sides is online, like two armies confronting each other, and it is the first time that a serious fight has started.

Randolph attacked again under the basket. This time Whiteside showed his toughness and directly gave Randolph a head-on cap.

Although the experience is still immature, the defensive deterrence of the Pelicans Twin Towers is not weak.

Trevor Ariza grabs the rebound.

Tang Tian reached the high position in the front court and asked for the ball with his back. After receiving the ball, he turned around towards the baseline.

Seeing Randolph help out, he faked a through ball to the inside to force Randolph back, and then turned and fell back.

Li's single defense ability is much worse than that of Allen, and it is too late to pounce.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian leaned back, let's move on!

There were whistles at the scene.

Although the point difference on the court is not big, the Pelicans finally gave them the feeling of the regular season tonight.

Can attack and defend!

Green held the ball in the frontcourt and hit Ariza with his back, turned around and fell back.

Whiteside blocked Randolph to protect the defensive rebound.

In the frontcourt, Tang Tian ran off the ball to contain the defense, and Davis received a pass from Holiday for a layup.

Gasol couldn't keep up with his speed, so he could only watch Davis score.

9 is better than 4!

Although the point difference is still not big, everyone on the scene can clearly feel that the Grizzlies are not the opponents of the Pelicans!

This is also a reasonable thing.

After all, the Pelicans' record of 60 wins in the regular season is there, winning 10 more games than the Grizzlies!

At this time, O'Neill was laughing from ear to ear in the commentary booth.

Before the game was over, he had once again defeated Barkley.

Barkley dismissed O'Neal's laugh.

The game has just started, and the Grizzlies are famously able to carry it, so that's where it is.

After the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Grizzlies by 28 points 18-10.

The difference is not too big.

Back in the second quarter, both sides are the main force with the bench, the Pelicans are led by Davis, and the Grizzlies are led by Conley.

Carter's layup was blocked by Biyombo, who took advantage of the trend to accept the defensive rebound.

Davis went to the low post in the frontcourt and started to ask for a position.

Dinwiddie gave the ball in, Davis turned around and hit Koufos with his back, and turned under the basket for a layup.

Gasol in the front can't fight against him like this, but he still has an advantage in playing against Kufos, who moves slowly.

Conley's frontcourt throw was interfered by Davis.

Biyombo got stuck at the basket and received another defensive rebound.

Davis played again in the frontcourt, and the Grizzlies double-teamed him inside. He missed Gordon's three-pointer from the outside.

Conley counterattacked and was fouled early by Dinwiddie.

Williams had McGee trade Biyombo.

Conley missed a breakthrough throw in the frontcourt, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

In the frontcourt, Davis and Dinwiddie played a pick-and-roll. After Davis received the ball and was assisted by Koufos, he threw the ball directly to the basket and made an inside pass.

McGee is not Biyombo, he leaps high and directly lobs the ball into the basket.

"Oh!"

He succeeded in an alley-oop, and also made a defensive foul by Green who assisted in the defense!

There were constant cheers at the scene.

McKee extended his right hand in his signature one-handed "strong" celebration.

Barkley has stopped talking in the commentary booth.

The Grizzlies couldn't beat this game twice, they couldn't beat it when they were starting, and they couldn't beat it when they were on the bench.

The Pelicans played surprisingly steadily in the battle of Tianwangshan, and they have been playing against the Grizzlies since the beginning.

They finally defeated the Grizzlies 100-80, rewriting the big score of the series to 3-2.

唐天25分6板7助攻，戴维斯21分9板3助攻2盖帽2抢断，阿里扎13分，霍乐迪11分5助攻，戈登16分3助攻。

O'Neal laughed for a long time at Barkley, who was grimacing, after the game.

That's what it feels like to be a winner.

Chapter 675 Experience the Wind and Rain and See the Rainbow (Second Update!)

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian and Davis attended with coach Williams.

"The Pelicans played against the Grizzlies throughout the game. What adjustments did you make before the game?"

The reporter naturally asked this question.

"No, we just played what we should have."

Tang Tian said calmly.

This may sound pretentious at first, but it seems to be the truth.

The Pelicans didn't feel as explosive as the first game, nor did they make any tactical adjustments, and they didn't even say that there were any surprises.

They are just like tying A in the game, and directly A killed the Grizzlies.

Back in the locker room, the players were either humming a song in the shower, or chatting with smiles on their faces.

The joy of victory is reflected in every detail of the players, but there is no carnival.

They didn't dance like they did when they won Game [-], or even slap Davis on the ass.

The difference speaks volumes, and winning games in such a way gives the players a huge boost of confidence.

It was because of our own ups and downs that we fought back and forth with you.

Now I understand, there is no need for any other tricks at all, as long as I play normally, I will definitely be able to beat you!

Seeing this change in the team members, Tang Tian was also very happy in his heart.

He no longer has to think about how to change the way to mobilize the players.

And to be honest, the stalemate in the first four games is a good thing for the Pelicans.

Although this is their second year as a team, the team is young and has little experience in the playoffs.

This problem is not exposed now, but if it is exposed later, it is likely to be eliminated directly.

From stalemate to sudden enlightenment, it is like seeing a rainbow in the sky after going through a storm, it is very beautiful.

From this point of view, it is a good thing to beat the Grizzlies in the first round and be forced to Tianwang Mountain by the opponent.

The next game is going to Memphis, and the players all went back to the hotel to rest after taking a shower.

Tang Tian was the last one to leave the locker room. When he came out, the assistant coach Borrego was about to leave.

The two walked and chatted.

Williams is good at interpersonal relationships but not good at tactics, all tactics rely on Borrego.

Borrego has indeed played out the tradition of the Spurs coaches, and he has done a good job.

The two passed by the training hall while chatting, and saw that Jokic was still doing shooting training with the help of the ball boy.

Jokic did not return to the locker room after the game, and it seemed that he came to training alone.

His physical condition looks very good, and his running is not much different from before the injury.

To say that this is also his ruthless determination, he has been very restrained in his diet during the period of injury.

And if the lower body can't move, I train the upper body. The weight of the whole person has not increased too much due to the injury.

It's just that his shooting touch is not very good, and he keeps missing shots in training.

After all, he hasn't played for two months, and he still needs time to adjust back to his pre-injury state.

"When will Nikolai come back?"

Tang Tian turned to Borrego and asked.

From the regular season to the playoffs, the impact of Jokic's absence on the Pelicans is obvious, especially in scoring off the bench.

Biyombo and McGee are not bad, but both have too obvious advantages and disadvantages, and they are easy to be targeted in the playoffs.

Especially if the Grizzlies win the next round against the Spurs, they will be targeted to death.

The strength of the Pelicans and the Spurs is not much different, so whether Jokic can come back will be very important.

"Physically speaking, he is ready to play in the next game, but I discussed it with Monty. His state still needs time to adjust. In addition, the chemistry of the team is good now, and we are ready to let him play the Spurs in the next round. Come back again."

Borrego spoke back.
