The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The strategy of the Pelicans in the first half forced Cole to show all his cards.

In the second half, the Pelicans took the lead. They still played inside, and Green defended Jokic inside.

This time Green withstood, successfully defended Jokic's offense, and took advantage of the situation to protect the defensive rebound.

After the defense was successful, the Warriors played a defensive counterattack directly, and the fifth small's configuration was very fast.

The Pelicans retreated quickly, but they still couldn't keep up.

This is not a question of enthusiasm, but a limitation of the lineup.

Curry received the ball in the frontcourt and faked a three-pointer, and then stuffed the ball to Iguodala, who cut in the middle, and the latter scored directly with a one-handed dunk.

Because of his outstanding three-point shooting ability, many people will forget Curry's passing, and his passing is also absolutely historical.

Tang Tian asked for the ball in the low post, and the Warriors directly assisted in the defense in advance, not giving Holiday a chance to get the ball in.

And when Holiday wanted to shoot by himself, Curry's return to defense was very fast.

The five-small lineup greatly increased the Warriors' double-teaming and defense speed.

Holiday finally made a three-pointer and was interfered by Curry, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Barnes grabbed the defensive rebound and the Warriors played another fast break.

This time Curry made an emergency stop two meters away from the three-point line.

It's an unreasonable but very Curry shot.

"Shh!"

The three-pointer went through the heart and into the net.

The Warriors' dead five were so powerful that they beat the Pelicans 5-0 at the beginning of the second half!

Chapter 698 2014~2015 Regular Season MVP (First update!)

Williams reached out and called a timeout.

Before, Williams paused and called slowly, but this time he called a bit early, it should be said to be very early.

I don't know if he saw fans complaining about him on social media.

After calling a timeout, he turned around and called Aminu up.

When the players came down, he took out the tactical board and arranged tactics.

After listening to Tang Tian, ​​he knew that he was planning to use a small lineup to fight against the five small teams on the opposite side.

After Williams finished setting up his tactics, Tang Tian whispered with him for a while.

He raised some concerns of his own.

Five small vs. five small, Tyronn Lue has done this in history, but the effect is not good, and he is also called a tactical genius by fans.

"We don't have a better option, and it's going to work."

Williams is more persistent this time. After all, the Pelicans' five minors have worked in the past two rounds.

Williams insisted, Tang Tian didn't say anything more.

To be honest, the Pelicans' five minors are better than the Cavaliers' five minors in history because they have Davis. His defensive ability in the interior must be much better than Love.

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans replaced Jokic with Aminu.

This substitution caused a commotion at the scene.

This is the first time they have seen a team play against the Warriors. The Pelicans' substitution is very spiritual.

The others opened up space, and Tang Tian broke through to the basket with the ball and scored a goal.

Back on the defensive end, the Pelicans' five small speeds kept up with the Warriors' infinite air cuts. Thompson's air cut layup was directly blocked by Davis.

Davis also took advantage of the defensive rebound.

After a timeout, the Pelicans performed well.

The scene shot was given to Williams on the sidelines.

Williams had a smile on his face.

His pick looks like it could turn the tide of the game.

But soon, the weakness of the Pelicans' five minors was exposed.

They didn't respond enough in the defensive round, which directly gave Thompson a big open opportunity, and the latter directly hit a three-pointer.

The five minors need a great deal of tacit understanding on the defensive end. The Pelicans use less, which is really lacking.

And after the pace of the game became faster, the Warriors recovered their offensive state in frequent offensive and defensive transitions, and the Pelicans slowly began to be overwhelmed.

In this quarter, the Warriors beat the Pelicans 35 to 22, and the point difference reached 16 points after three quarters.

Under the leadership of Tang Tian, ​​the Pelicans frantically chased points in the last quarter, but they still lost 100-110 in the end.

The Splash Brothers made a total of 13 three-pointers and scored 50+.

Tang Tian scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists again.

After the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the Pelicans fell behind 0 to 2. This is really going straight into hell mode.

At the press conference after the game, Draymond Green was also in a good mood. When asked by reporters about his views on the upcoming games, he answered very simply.

"We will sweep them. What we have to do this year is to prove ourselves and let everyone see our strength."

The Warriors' record in the regular season exploded, but as a dark horse, they have always been looked down upon by the outside world.

Now that they have not lost a game in the playoffs, Green's answer is also a way of expressing morale.

But to Pelicans fans, such words are simply pretentious.

Green really sees the Pelicans as rookies.

But this can't be helped. The NBA depends on the results. If the Pelicans can't make effective adjustments later, sweeping is not impossible.

After all, the Rockets in front were really not bad, but they were also swept away.

Green is the kind of person who wants to pretend to be aggressive, but you are very angry but you can't do anything about me.

Fans continued to discuss after the game.

"Williams is really a tactical genius, five small fights against five small, isn't this courting death!"

"Williams is a good coach, but his coaching ability is really bad. The Pelicans have to consider changing coaches in the summer!"

"It's really difficult for the Pelicans to enter the finals. Although I know it's difficult for them to play against the Warriors, I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"I really want to beat Green. If you are so complacent, the Pelicans lost the Splash Brothers and not him!"

"But there is no way. I feel that with the state of the Warriors, it is really difficult for the Pelicans to win a game!"

……

The next day, Durant, who was recuperating from his injury, posted a personal tweet.

"Draymond Green, 'Bang Bang Gesture'"

Durant and Curry have a good relationship, and coupled with his feud with Tang Tian, ​​he naturally supports the Warriors.

Green's pretentious words resonated with him.

Once upon a time, the Thunder team in the fourth youth period also had such strength.

On the same day, the league announced the final ownership of the regular season MVP for the 2014-2015 season.

Curry finally got 33.44% of the votes, beating Tang Tian (29.69%) and James (16.33%), and was successfully elected as the MVP.

This is also Curry's first MVP trophy in his career.

This series of events has attracted a lot of heated discussions among fans on social media.

"Fuck! What the hell! Tang didn't win the MVP?!"

"The Warriors have a better record!"

"Crap! The Warriors only won 7 games more than the Pelicans, but Tang Tian's statistics are beyond Curry!"

"That's right, last year's data was available, and the record was a little bit worse. Well, everyone recognizes it. This year's record and data are all there. Isn't it MVP?!"

"It's really unreasonable. Hasn't someone analyzed it before? Tang has a record and statistics this season. He is also one of Nike's top brands. Is he sure to win the MVP?"

"People are not as good as the league, and the league obviously wants to support the Warriors!"

"Now the Pelicans are really cold. I expected them to rely on this MVP to boost their morale and win a game later, but now it seems that they will probably be swept away."

"The Warriors have the right time and place this season, and I feel like they're going to win the championship 16-0."

……

After the first two games, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans.

The 0-2 situation is the most difficult situation since they entered the playoffs, and what is more difficult than the big score is that they don't even know how to win.

Coupled with Tang Tian's regretful passing of the MVP, it was a blow to the team's morale.

Being swept away is not only the outside world, but even some people in the Pelicans have this idea in their hearts.

Some things, if you can't resist, you can only choose to accept them.

Of course, Tang Tian was not included among these people.

After Tang Tian returned to New Orleans, he continued to study the game video.

Because the last game used five against five, Williams received no less doubts from the outside world than Lu in history.

Tang Tian also questioned, but after the fight, he found that the five juniors of the Pelicans were really much better than the five juniors of the Cavaliers in history.

If the team can use it more next season and establish a tacit understanding on the defensive end, the five minors can also be a style of play.

But it is also obvious that if you go to fight for the fifth elementary school now, you will definitely not be able to fight.

"Details, details."

Tang Tian looked at it, and unconsciously flashed through his mind what they talked about when he and Jokic communicated before.

Soon, he thought of one, and perhaps the only way the Pelicans could play the Warriors right now.

Chapter 699 The Only Way (Second Update!)

In the two games, the only reference for the Pelicans to win is the first half of the second game.

Relying on the tempo to play the position and not letting the Warriors start up, the two sides played a [-]-[-] in the end.

If they can play like that for the entire game, as Tang Tian and Williams communicated before the last game, they have a good chance of winning.

But Cole sacrificed five small kills to kill the game.

So if you want to win, you have to find a way to deal with Wu Xiao.

The only way Tang Tian could think of was to learn from his halftime experience in the last game.

Compared with the Warriors, the advantage of the Pelicans lies in the interior.

Jokic can stretch space in positional battles, and he is not afraid of Bogut's whiteness and toughness. Davis also has an advantage in the matchup with Green.

"Historical Records Tian Ji Horse Racing" said that we should use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses. No matter how the Pelicans adjust, the principle must be to give full play to their own advantages as much as possible.

Therefore, positional warfare must be fought, and it must be played against the Warriors' five small players.

The characteristic of Wuxiao on the defensive end is that he can quickly double-team and assist defense, and can switch defenses infinitely.

But the final purpose of these characteristics is actually to increase conversion speed and play defensive counterattacks.

How many three-pointers and assists Curry has come from offensive and defensive transitions.

This is also the characteristic of modern basketball in the small ball era.
