The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Green's way of speaking is more direct, and his attitude is exactly the same as before.

He is affirming that the Warriors can eliminate the Pelicans like last year.

"He thinks too much of himself, and now I'm worried that he will find it difficult to accept losing games, but that's a good thing, because losing will make him grow."

As soon as Green finished speaking here, Stephenson on the Pelicans responded immediately.

In a fight of words, he is worthy of Green.

"Who does he think he is? A player no one wants!"

Green didn't like Stephenson, and didn't even bother to respond positively.

"I am Lance, the one who will defeat him soon."

Stephenson's response was unabashed.

The Western Conference finals haven't started yet, and the two sides are already fighting a war of words, and there is a feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come.

However, the Warriors have just finished the tiebreaker with the Thunder, and the Western Conference Finals will start in two days.

The first to start is the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cavaliers beat the Knicks 125 to 102 in the opening game and won their first victory. The Big Three showed their power together and scored 80+ points.

As the game deepened, the Cavaliers got better and better.

Especially on the offensive end, they have been able to average close to 120 points per game.

Although the strength of the Eastern Conference teams is relatively weak, this is also quite terrifying data in the playoffs.

The eyes of the outside world are still on the Pelicans and the Warriors, but the Cavaliers under Lu's rule have a neat lineup and amazing offensive strength, and they are also favorites to win the championship.

The day after the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Western Conference Finals also kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The scene was crowded with people, but all the places where people could stand were crowded.

Revenge, championship, saliva, 70+ winning teams... There are too many keywords in the series between the two teams.

Especially for New Orleans fans, they have been waiting for revenge for a whole year, and they can't wait any longer, and they can't wait for the game to start in the next second.

"Shaq, what do you think of tonight's game?"

In the commentary seat, Barkley turned his head and asked Barkley.

When he asked, the commentary seat was quiet for a moment, and then all three laughed.

In the first round, it was predicted that O'Neal would win a big victory, and Barkley, who had a big mouth, was afraid of it.

"Well, Shaq said, the Pelicans are going to blow it up and win the game easily."

O'Neill had an expression like if you asked me to say something, I would just say a few words.

Barkley shook his head after listening.

O'Neill said that he can agree with the Pelicans winning. After all, the Pelicans have not lost a game at home so far, but it is a bit too much to say that they have won a big victory.

The Warriors fell behind 1 to 3 to reverse the Thunder. In other words, they have won three life-or-death games in the past, and their mentality and state are extremely good.

Saying the Pelicans will win easily is an understatement.

While the three were chatting, there were constant cheers and players from both sides entered the field one after another.

When the players on both sides entered the field, they unconsciously turned their heads to look at each other.

The smell of gunpowder began to fill the air.

"Boss, dunk?"

Stephenson leaned over and said to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian glanced at Stephenson and knew that this guy wanted to use dunks to improve the atmosphere of the scene when he was warming up.

He nodded.

He is also having such thoughts.

There are still about 15 minutes before the start of the game, and the two sides warm up.

There were bursts of booing suddenly at the scene.

Such a reaction caused the Warriors players to look sideways.

It turned out that Tang Tian showed off a few slam dunks during his warm-up.

This is more effective than any heat field method.

The atmosphere at the scene was warmed up, and when the opening ceremony came, the cheers were deafening, and the roof of the arena was lifted.

As the Pelicans play better and better, the New Orleans arena is becoming more and more like the Devil's home court.

After the opening ceremony, both sides started to play one after another.

On the Warriors' side, Cole directly started with five small players, Splash on the outside, Green and Barnes on the inside, and small forward Barnes.

Before playing against the Clippers and the Thunder, the Warriors began to test with the regular lineup.

But against the old opponent of the Pelicans, he saved the previous steps and directly showed his cards.

Jokic also returned to the starting lineup for the Pelicans.

In the last game, Biyombo was used to start against Cousins, and it is not necessary to defend against Green.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Davis jumped and won Green, officially kicking off the second season of the Pelicans War.

After Tang Tian got the ball in the frontcourt, he signaled Jokic to go to the low post.

The Warriors dared to use the five minors, and the Pelicans used Jokic to fight hard.

This has proven effective in the regular season this season.

But Cole is not a fool, he must be prepared to use Wu Xiao.

Green went around to defend Jokic, and Barnes' defensive position on the other side was also close to the basket, ready to help defend at any time.

This is to defend Jokic with heavy troops.

This defensive method is very targeted and correct, but Tang Tian was overjoyed when he saw this formation. Isn't this giving him a chance?

Chapter 829 Tang Tian's Zone

The team's defensive ability is limited. Focus on defending one person, and the defensive strength of the other person will definitely become weaker.

This is the same for any team, and Tang Tian and Jokic are one inside and one outside, so it is difficult for the defensive players to respond to each other.

The Warriors obviously knew this too, and Thompson focused on Tang Tian with all his attention.

Butler's defensive performance in the first round gave him confidence. They are familiar with Tang Tian's offensive style, which can help them on the defensive end.

In terms of defensive ability, he doesn't think he is much worse than Butler.

Seeing the confidence in Thompson's eyes, Tang Tian made a sharp change to the right to speed up the breakthrough, and then dribbled to the left after an emergency stop.

Thompson is very familiar with Tang Tian's offensive style, and Tang Tian is also very familiar with Thompson's defensive characteristics.

Thompson's individual defense is not weak, but lateral movement is his weakness.

Tang Tian continued to move a lot, but Thompson obviously couldn't keep up.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian shook off Thompson and made a steady hit, just like he did in the training camp.

Tang Tian is not a player with physical talent, he relies on technology, so a dogfighting player like Butler can play a role, but a player with defensive weaknesses like Thompson can't.

The Warriors have unlimited cuts in positional battles, and the Pelicans have unlimited defenses.

When the Warriors first used the five-pointer last year, the Pelicans were a little caught off guard, but this year the Pelicans are already familiar with this style of play.

The Warriors changed for a while and had no chance. Thompson missed Jokic's three-pointer and Davis received a defensive rebound.

The Warriors retreated quickly and did not give the Pelicans a chance to break fast. Cole even shouted on the sidelines to signal defensive adjustments.

The Pelicans counterattacked defensively and switched positions. Tang Tian then rushed to Thompson, turned around and fell back after a sudden stop.

The moment Tang Tian shot, Iguodala threw a block from the side.

The timing of this ball was very accurate.

Tang Tian adjusted his angle in mid-air, dodging the blocking shot at the moment of falling.

This ball is very difficult, and the ball spins through a high parabola in the air.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian double-teamed the difficult shot and then advanced!

Cheers erupted at the scene, Tang Tian never let them down!

"A nice fadeaway shot, Don looked superb tonight!"

The ball was scored, and "Tang Chuan" O'Neal in the commentary was already on the line.

The Warriors' outside pick-and-roll, the Pelicans' defensive formation was very outside, Curry broke into the basket and received a pass from Green for a layup.

The Warriors' ability to comeback against the Thunder has a lot to do with Curry's outstanding performance. Curry has returned to his regular season state.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian continued to attack with the ball, and the Warriors switched defenses with Iguodala.

Tang Tian changed direction and squeezed past Iguodala to get to the basket for a layup, and Green swooped out to block the shot the moment he layup.

With two balls in a row and a similar defensive approach, the Warriors are obviously prepared.

They couldn't defend alone, double-teamed and were afraid of Tang Tian's pass. They improved it and waited until Tang Tian made a shot before double-teaming.

This trick was very useful. Tang Tian encountered Green's help defense in the air, and he lost his shot angle.

Seeing that he was about to be defended, Tang Tian changed hands in the air to avoid Green's block, and made a layup with a low hand when he was falling.

Another forced and difficult shot.

And this time the air adjustment is more difficult, and it is somewhat similar to Jordan's dunk for a layup.

The ball spun and rubbed against the backboard, and under the watchful eyes of all the players on the field, it fell obliquely into the net bag!

Strong waist!

Tang Tian made consecutive high-difficulty shots to score!

"Who? Who can stop this guy!"

O'Neill was already hilarious in the commentary booth.

Anyone can score, but it depends on how to get it!

For the early defense against Jokic and the targeted defense against Tang Tian, ​​the Warriors have long regarded the Pelicans as the number one imaginary enemy and have made sufficient preparations.

Jokic was restricted, but Tang Tian broke the defense directly with his ability!And it's clean and tidy!

Cole had already walked to the sidelines. From his frowning, he could see that Tang Tian's way of scoring made him doubt what he had prepared.

Tang Tian scored 6 points in a row, and Curry wanted to shoot a three-pointer in response, but the Pelicans expanded enough outside, his shot was interfered, and the basketball hit the basket.

Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound, and as soon as he passed it to Tang Tian, ​​Tang Tian held the ball in the backcourt.

The Warriors checked out quickly, with Thompson in the middle, Iguodala and Curry on the left and right, and a three-way block from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Seeing that the Pelicans could only switch from the fast break to another position, Tang Tian didn't slow down and went for a layup at Thompson.

Thompson is not afraid of this kind of thing, and his chest is strong enough to resist while moving.

Tang Tian's forward movement was obviously blocked, and his speed was also suddenly reduced like a bull hitting a wall.

But at this moment, he adjusted his body in the air, and before landing, he readjusted his shooting posture and completed the shot!

With three balls in a row, the difficulty is higher than the other!

The moment Tang Tian shot, Cole's eyes froze, this ball should...

"boom!"

The ball hit the inner edge of the basket, and then went in after rubbing it!
