The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The arena is full of attendance.

Although the team fell behind 1 to 3 and the outside world looked down on them, New Orleans fans still supported the Pelicans.

Before the start of the game, the players of the Pelicans are making final preparations for the game.

With the stimulation of Holt's interview and the spiritual encouragement given by Benson, the morale of the Pelicans is not low now.

Before setting off, Tang Tian also took the team members to drink chicken soup for a while.

But it's not the same as before.

"Forget the big score of the two teams now, forget our current situation, don't think about how we can win this series, don't think about the next game, let's set a small goal for ourselves first, win tonight's game , just to win tonight's game!"

Tang Tian's words were resounding, and the team members nodded vigorously after listening.

If you want to win the entire series, as the outside world talks about, you will become hopeless, but if you focus on the present, the situation will become completely different.

Because of them, they just need to win tonight's game.

In a game, both sides have equal chances of winning!

The big three of TNT also came to the scene to explain this game.

Whether the Pelicans will be eliminated tonight is naturally a topic they cannot escape.

"of course not!"

O'Neal still implements his Tang Chuan personality, unswervingly standing in line with the Pelicans.

"They're not going to lose this home court."

But what people didn't expect was that Kenny Smith also defected this time and joined O'Neal's camp.

Barkley glanced at his old and new partners with disdain.

"They're going to lose this series, but they shouldn't lose at home."

Before Barkley finished speaking, O'Neill and Smith were already bursting out laughing.

With that disdainful look in their eyes, they thought that Barkley was going to be tough to the end, but they didn't expect to choose to join them in the end.

After O'Neill laughed, he pointed to Barkley.

It's okay to turn an enemy into a friend.

Barkley himself laughed too.

But he is not stupid, he summed up his experience the last time he was slapped in the face.

Originally, the morale of the Pelicans should be low after falling behind 1 to 3, but when he saw the spirit of the Pelicans when they came out of the player tunnel, he knew that things were not good.

So he decisively chose to support the Pelicans.

It is rare to see that the Big Three of TNT are all optimistic about the Pelicans tonight.

This also excited some fans, especially domestic fans, who were not able to go to the scene.

This is a very positive signal.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were introduced one after another.

The starters of both teams are the same as they were on the field, and Jokic still replaces Whiteside as the Pelicans' starting center.

Davis jumped over Gasol and gave the Pelicans the opportunity to take the lead.

With Tang Tian holding the ball in the front court, the Spurs' strategy was the same as the previous games, still double-teaming Tang Tian.

However, Tang Tian's choice was very decisive. After a change of direction, he faced Green's defense and shot dryly.

"Shh!"

He maintained his excellent form in the series, coming up on the first pitch.

There were constant cheers at the scene, which was a very good start.

The Pelicans went first, but looking back, the Spurs' hammer tactics were over, and Parker faced Jokic.

Seeing Jokic come out of defense, he made a layup with a low hand after a change of direction.

The Spurs' offensive thinking is very clear, and they are still playing with Jokic's defense.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian broke through and was double-teamed and gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc.

Jokic made a decisive three-pointer.

"Dangdang!"

strike iron.

It's really not that easy to get it back once it's lost.

However, the Pelicans retreated quickly from the outside and did not give the Spurs a chance to counterattack.

Retreating to half court, Parker misplaced Jokic again. This time Jokic shrank to the basket, and he chose a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

Parker also advanced in the middle distance.

The Spurs started 4-2.

This time, trouble for the Pelicans came.

Jokic's touch doesn't seem to be found yet, and Parker's condition looks good, Jokic's defense will be infinitely targeted.

Whiteside on the sidelines glanced at Williams at this time, and that expression had already written everything he wanted to say on his face.

See if you don't need me to start. If you keep playing like this, you will definitely lose. I am now the best choice for the Pelicans to start at center.

Chapter 686 Career's first playoff triple-double (first update!)

Williams noticed Whiteside's gaze and looked back at him, but did not make any substitution adjustments.

In the offense of the Pelicans, Tang Tian restrained the defense off the ball, and Davis received a pass from Holiday from the free throw line and hit a mid-range pass.

After experiencing the first round, Davis has obviously grown a lot.

4 to 4 draw.

The Spurs' hammer tactics in the frontcourt, Jokic continued to shrink the basket, this time Parker failed to make a mid-range shot, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, Tang Tian caught the ball without the ball and broke through the basket, and then passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic's open three-pointer shot again.

The ball was shot right, but the ball went in and bounced out.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

This is the second three-pointer Jokic has missed since the start.

The scene shot gave Jokic a close-up.

Jokic didn't have much emotional fluctuations on his face, and quickly retreated with the Pelicans.

This kind of reaction surprised the big three TNT in the commentary booth, and the restless emotions of the fans also stabilized after seeing it.

Jokic didn't panic himself, and neither should they.

Leonard missed a fadeaway shot, and Duncan at the basket used his experience to trap Davis for a tip-up.

6 to 4, the Spurs took the lead again.

The Pelicans are high-spirited tonight, but what stands out on the Spurs side is really a word of stability.

However, Tang Tian quickly scored a goal on the offensive end to return the favor.

Anyway, it is also from the Spurs, and you will never lose if you work hard.

The two teams played almost the same as the previous few games at the beginning. They were really struggling with the details, and the scores continued to rise alternately.

About 5 minutes into the first quarter, the score was tied at 12.

Barkley was a little confused in the commentary seat at this time, and he still underestimated the Spurs a little bit.

The Pelicans took advantage of the right time, place and people and didn't take advantage of the opening!

Could it be that he is poisonous, so whoever stands in line can't do it?

Tang Tian broke through with the ball, and Gasol shrank to the basket.

If Jokic couldn't make a shot, it would be much easier for them to defend against Tang Tian's breakthrough.

Tang Tian also passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic caught the ball and shot it. This was his third three-pointer of the game.

The hearts of the fans at the scene hung up.

Barkley also grinned.

This Jokic really dared to vote!

The ball is shot, and the trajectory still looks pretty straight.

"Dangdang!"

The ball hit the back edge of the rim.

However, after the second bounce, it still fell into the net bag.

Jokic's third three-pointer finally made it!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Barkley also shouted excitedly.

"Shaq, you really need to shoot more if you want to get in!"

He laughed at O'Neill.

O'Neill pointed to Barkley after hearing it, and then laughed.

This big mouth has already joined them, and he still has to tease him.

Isn't it obvious that Jokic has a Mamba spirit?

The live scene was shown to Jokic again. After he and Tang Tian high-fived, his expression remained the same as before.

This is the first time a sideline photographer has shot Jokic in such detail.

Looking at Jokic's calm expression, the fans have an inexplicable love for him.

Leonard dislocated to face Jokic's mid-range shot.

The Spurs are really grabbing Jokic's defensive weakness and fighting to death.

In the Pelicans' offense, Holiday broke through the basket, scored the ball and then gave it to Jokic.

The quality of this pass was obviously not as good as Tang Tian's before, Jokic bent down to get the ball.

But Gasol didn't rush out immediately.

There was some luck in the shot that Jokic just made.

Jokic continued to shoot.

He is the kind of player who is really tough on the court. If Tang Tian told him to shoot with confidence, he would definitely shoot.

The trajectory of the ball is still very positive. After strengthening his confidence in shooting, the feeling of his shot is actually very good.

"Shh!"

This time the ball went straight into the net!

Jokic made two consecutive irons in the opening game, but made all of the next two three-pointers!

18 is better than 14!

The Pelicans opened the point difference to 4 points.

The fans at the scene had their hands high, and it felt so good for such a big man to score three-pointers consecutively!
