James made a three-step layup, found a shot after stepping on the third step, and sent the ball into the basket after confronting Jokic.
There were constant cheers at the scene.
James was targeted for mediocre performance in the last game, and he justified himself as soon as this game started!
"The Pelicans' defense needs to be tougher."
Zhang Weiping analyzed after watching this round.
Looking back at the tactics of the Pelicans, Tang Tian broke into the basket to attract double-teams, and gave the ball to Jokic who followed up.
Jokic's cut further compressed the Cavaliers' defense, and he distributed it to Bojan in the bottom corner while he was on the move. Bojan caught the ball and made a quick three-pointer.
"Shh!"
The three-pointer shoots up and down, and Bo Yang's three-pointer is really stable.
The Cavaliers' offense, Irving also greeted Mozgov's pick-and-roll.
The Pelicans did not change, and Irving seized the opportunity to make an outside shot.
This shot had a good chance, but it was a pity that Irving's three-pointer hit the frame.
Irving's scoring is now explosive, but not stable enough.
Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound, the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack, and their advancement was very fast.
It was too late for the Cavaliers to retreat. Tang Tian caught the ball and threw off Smith, scoring a dunk with one hand.
James broke through the basket and caused Bojan's thugs to make two free throws.
But looking back, Tang Tian assisted Davis to score another goal under the basket.
The Cavaliers' offense was better than the previous game, but the Pelicans' offense was much better than the previous game!
"I understand. The Pelicans are going to play against the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers' defense is not strong, so it makes sense to play like this."
Zhang Weiping realized it later, and said with an excited smile after he realized it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pelicans defended into a wave of offense from the Cavaliers. Tang Tian and Holiday played two-on-one in the frontcourt. Tang Tian made a false fax shot and scored two more points.
7:4.
The two teams played for more than a minute, and the combined score exceeded 10 points.
Lu also realized it, but after he realized it, he didn't panic, but put his hands on his back, with a confident smile on his face.
Offense is what the Cavaliers are good at. If the Pelicans and the Cavaliers play against each other, it is simply a dead end!
Chapter 844 3 vs 1
James broke through the basket and scored another goal, and the Pelicans just used Davis to single him, which completely revived his performance.
But looking back, Tang Tian also broke through Love and scored 2+1 with a layup.
In terms of scoring ability, the current Tang Tian is obviously better than James.
Irving found the feeling from the outside and hit a large three-pointer after receiving a pass from James.
But in the next round, Tang Tian made a back pass to Bo Yang, who hit his second three-pointer of the game!
By Tang Tian's side, his three-point shooting ability can be maximized, which has been proven in the regular season.
James scored 13 points in a single quarter, and Owen also scored 10 points.
But Tang Tianhong scored 15 points and 5 assists, Bo Yang scored 3 three-pointers, Davis and Jokic also scored 6 points each!
The double stars of the Cavaliers are shining, and the Pelicans are blooming across the board!
After the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 45 points 32 to 13!
The smile on Lu's face gradually disappeared.
After the first quarter he realized a terrible thing.
Simply fighting offense, the Pelicans seem to be stronger than the Cavaliers!
In other words, the advantage of the Cavaliers is no longer an advantage in front of the Pelicans!
This point was further confirmed in the second section.
James helped the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to single digits at the beginning of the second quarter.
But when the main players of the two sides came back and the two sides faced each other for a while, the Pelicans opened the point difference to double digits again!
After halftime, the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 72 points 58 to 14.
The Cavaliers are behind, and what's more disadvantageous is that the offense requires physical strength.
James continued to attack, and his physical exertion was obviously greater than the previous game!
"It's reasonable to play like this, it's going to be played like this, the Pelicans should have played like this long ago!"
Zhang Weiping was also very excited in the commentary booth.
Playing at this pace, the Pelicans will win tonight's game, no, the next game will be won!
Intermission.
James sat on the bench panting.
To put it bluntly, Lu is the most trusted coach among the coaches who have coached him. To put it bluntly, Lu really fucked him to death.
Except for the game where he was beaten, he didn't play in the last quarter, and he really didn't rest for a minute in other games.
Lu came to the locker room and said some doomed points in the second half of the game, but he didn't change his tactical thinking, and he had to continue to attack the Pelicans.
Just like hitting the inside and hitting the whole game in the second game, Lu really didn't have much flexibility during the game.
"I'll be in charge of defense, Kyrie, Kevin, you'll be in charge of offense."
When Lu left, James took the initiative to say to Owen and Love.
Owen and Love nodded after listening.
Lu didn't make tactical adjustments, but as players, they also knew that they had little chance of winning in such an attack.
Back from the halftime break, neither side adjusted their lineups.
Back in the second half, the Pelicans took the lead.
"Defense! Defense!"
The situation was unfavorable, and the fans cheered for the Cavaliers in unison.
Tang Tian passed Davis in seconds, and Davis passed Love to make a shot.
At this moment, James suddenly burst out from the weak side, interfering with his shot.
Love protected the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans' offense returned without success this time.
The Cavaliers counterattacked, and Irving caused Holiday's defensive foul during the counterattack. He made two free throws and scored the first for the Cavaliers.
Tang Tian's shot to the basket was interfered by James' help defense. Smith made a pulling move but the referee didn't blow it.
The Cavaliers took the ball and counterattacked. Irving followed up with Love, who made a three-pointer.
The Cavaliers came back in the second half and beat the Pelicans 5-0, narrowing the point difference to single digits!
There were endless cheers.
In the first half, the Pelicans' offense overwhelmed the Cavaliers, but after the Cavaliers strengthened their defense, they overwhelmed the Pelicans in turn!
"Defense! Defense!"
The shouts of the fans at the scene became more vigorous.
The Cavaliers are on the move.
Stevens walked to the sidelines to call a timeout.
Tang Tian took the ball to the frontcourt, indicating the No. 1 tactic, one four pick and roll, and the others opened.
Davis' pick-and-roll was very explainable, and Tang Tian successfully switched to Love.
After the emergency stop after changing direction and breaking through, Tang Tian made a steady shot and scored the Pelicans' first point in the second half.
This goal greatly boosted the morale of the Pelicans. Back on the defensive end, they successfully blocked Irving's breakthrough layup.
The Cavaliers retreated quickly and did not give the Pelicans a chance to counterattack.
When it came to the positional battle, Tang Tian continued to look for Le Fu in the wrong position.
The Cavaliers fought a wave of counterattacks. Because of professional habits, he saw the adjustment of the Cavaliers immediately.
James is in charge of defense, Love and Irving are in charge of offense.
James' defensive coverage is as good as Davis', and the Cavaliers' adjustment is timely.
But no longer let James participate in the defense. Singles against Love is the simplest and most effective tactic.
Before playing Cousins against the Rockets and Curry against the Warriors, the Pelicans have accumulated enough experience in the previous games and are now very proficient.
Continuous shaking, Love couldn't defend at all, Tang Tian went to the basket, faced Mozgov's help defense and scored 2+1.
After the extra penalty hit, he personally played a wave of 5-0 offensive, and helped the Pelicans to open the score again!
The Pelicans want to attack, but the Cavaliers want to defend is not that simple!
Stevens dropped the idea of calling a timeout.
Irving's breakthrough layup missed, but the referee gave the individual a whistle, and he got two extra penalty opportunities.
He made two free throws to help the Cavaliers continue to bite the score.
But looking back, Tang Tian rushed to Love again, and after seeing James assisting in the defense, he made an iconic back pass to Bo Yang.
Bojan made his sixth three-point attempt of the game.
"Shh!"
He hit his fourth three-pointer of the game!
The point difference came to 15 points!
In the first half, the confrontation between the two teams improved the state of the Pelicans, and they could basically convert the second pass Tang Tian sent into points.
In this way, the problem that other teams have not solved in the regular season returns.
Double-teaming Tang Tian, Pelicans teammates score, not double-teaming Tang Tian, Tang Tian scores!
Just like the swastika in "Reaper", the Pelicans are now in an unrestrained state.
In this quarter, the Pelicans scored 40+ points again. After three quarters, they have already led the Cavaliers by 113 to 88 by 25 points!
Lu's inflexibility is shown again in this section.
Tang Tian played Le Fu for a quarter, but he didn't replace Le Fu in a daze.
The Cavaliers failed to form an effective counterattack in the last quarter.
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Cavaliers 133 to 113 on the road!
Six Pelicans scored in double figures. Tang Tian scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in the third quarter.
After losing the opening game, they won a wave of three consecutive victories, turning the big score into 3 to 1 and winning the match point of the series.
The next game of the finals will be played in New Orleans, when the Pelicans hope to win the first championship trophy in team history at home!
Chapter 845 I Was Trapped and Eat T
Leading 3 to 1, there have been only 11 comebacks in the history of the playoffs, and there has never been a finals.
In other words, the Pelicans have basically won the championship.
What the outside world is talking about at this time is not whether the Pelicans can win the championship, but when and with what kind of big score the Pelicans will win.
