But before Green went to get the defensive rebound, Davis was one step ahead of him and directly put the ball into the basket with one hand!
Height, wingspan, talent crushing!
Davis, when he took the first shot, he thought about making a tip-up!
With two crucial points, the Pelicans broke the scoring drought!
Curry ran without the ball in the frontcourt. Although he staggered against the lower body, he still used his excellent mobility to get a chance to go straight to the basket.
Green hits the ball nicely through the defense, and Curry catches the ball for a close-range throw.
But at the moment of his shot, Davis jumped up and slapped Curry's shot directly to the backboard!
Nail board big hat!
Davis also got a defensive rebound!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Davis' performance in this offense and defense was quite impressive!
Although his strength has not reached Tang Tian's level, he is not bad!
In the last attack of the first quarter, Holiday pressed the time to about 10 seconds.
He was about to call for Davis to pick and roll to launch an offense. After looking up and seeing that it was Speights defending, he lobbed the ball directly to Davis.
Davis caught the ball and saw that Green was about to double-team. After forcing Green back with a false pass, he pushed Speights away to the basket with force.
Speights was tough and pulled Davis down directly.
The foul was thorough, and the bottom-line referee blew his whistle quickly.
But Davis made a fold in the air after the whistle and completed the shot.
A high shot, the ball bounced off the backboard and into the net!
2+1!
His second 2+1 of this quarter!
When there are only 2 seconds before the end of this section!
The cheers on the scene broke out again.
Tang Tian also stood up from the bench at this moment, and waved his fist in Davis' direction.
The cute little boy three years ago, the boy who cried because he was eliminated by the Grizzlies two years ago, was full of unwillingness because he was eliminated by the Warriors a year ago.
Davis has come all the way, and finally grows up to be able to be on his own!
His Pippen has finally grown up!
Davis adjusted his breathing and added a penalty to make a steady hit. He personally played a 5-0 offensive and once again helped the Pelicans widen the point difference to 10 points!
Curry's last ultra-long three-pointer was destroyed by Holiday.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans continued to lead the Warriors by 31 points 21 to 10.
When Davis was off the field, Tang Tian went over to fist bump with him, hugged him, and reached out to stroke his hair.
"Your mohawk is handsome."
After touching it, Tang Tian said with a smile.
Duncan also said this sentence to him at the beginning, but he didn't say the next sentence after Duncan, it was a bit useless.
Davis smiled and nodded, not knowing why it felt so good to be touched on the head this time.
In the second quarter, the two sides took a step forward in rotation. The Pelicans' Holiday was replaced by Stephenson, and the Warriors' Curry was also replaced by McCaw.
But in addition to McCaw, the Warriors have another substitution.
Kerr replaced Pachulia, who had just rested for 2 minutes.
Chapter 921 Tangdu Immortals Fight (Third Update!)
Back in the second quarter, Davis continued to drop.
But instead of using Green, the Warriors are using Pachulia to defend.
Davis hit back with the ball, turned around and shook off Pachulia's shots.
His technical movements are very smooth, but when he shot, his eyes glanced down unconsciously.
It was this one look that made his shot slide out of the basket.
Green grabs the defensive rebound.
The Warriors took the opportunity to counterattack. Livingston caught the ball in the frontcourt for a layup, and after a head-to-head confrontation with Stephenson caused the latter's defensive foul.
Livingston made two free throws against interference.
The Warriors once again narrowed the point difference to 8 points.
Looking back at Brogdon's organization, he greeted Davis for a pick-and-roll and then went out, and then sent the ball to Davis.
Davis caught the ball and cut to dunk, Pachulia released West to help defend.
Just then, Davis glanced at his feet again!
This pause allowed Pachulia to defend in place and defend the goal that Davis was determined to win!
And he also took advantage of the opportunity to cut the ball out of Davis's hand, and Green turned around to get the ball.
The Warriors took advantage of the momentum to hit a counterattack, and McCaw caught Green's pass and hit a three-pointer.
The point difference was reduced to 5 points again!
After failing to grasp two good opportunities in a row, Davis' state in the second quarter was a bit worse than in the first quarter.
Stevens turned around and called Jokic up.
There was a dead ball on the court, and Jokic replaced Davis to rest.
"Nice job, take a break."
Seeing Davis looking a little annoyed, Stevens patted his arm and encouraged him.
Davis has not played since the beginning of the game.
Under high-intensity confrontation, Jokic's scoring became a bit difficult. Although he was organizing the offense more, the Warriors also played well.
The scores of the two teams were stalemate at this stage.
This section lasted more than four minutes, and the main players of both sides changed back one after another.
At this time, the Warriors' style of play changed.
Curry no longer ran without the ball to find opportunities to catch the ball, but began to attack with the ball more, playing pick-and-rolls with Pachulia partially to find Jokic's misplacement.
This style of play allowed him to find opportunities to score consecutive three-pointers and drop shots.
Returning from the small ball era to basketball at the beginning of the century, many players have difficulty adapting for a while, and may even be eliminated directly.
But Curry proved his super strength. Before Durant came, the Warriors were his team, and he also started the league's small ball era.
At halftime, the Pelicans led the Warriors 56-51.
The 5-point lead is negligible. Although there were ups and downs in the process, the score on the field shows that the strength of the two teams is evenly matched.
The situation in the second half was exactly the same as the first half.
Relying on Tang Tian's steady output, the Pelicans re-established a double-digit lead at the end of the third quarter.
However, Pachulia continued to defend Davis during the transition from the bench, and Davis' performance was a little out of shape as at the beginning of the second quarter.
Under the leadership of Green and Thompson, the Warriors took the opportunity to close the score.
Until this time, Stevens remembered one thing.
Last season, Ariza was stepped on by Pachulia, and he was absent for a full 3 months because of this.
Davis must have a deep memory of that scene as a teammate, especially since he was out for a long time with a knee injury caused by Green's stepping.
People who have not been injured play without fear, but after being injured, there will be shadows in their hearts, and they will unconsciously avoid injuries.
This is why Davis always unconsciously glances down when he sees Pachulia guarding him.
A small instinct, but a huge impact on his offensive finishing rate.
Cole should have discovered this in the first quarter, so he let Pachulia defend Davis in the following games.
The humiliation of being swept with 73 wins last season put a lot of mental pressure on everyone in the Warriors, including Cole.
In order to win this season, he also started to do whatever it takes.
And it did work, with the two teams tied at 5 90 minutes before the end of the game.
After playing for 43 minutes, the two sides stood on the same starting line again.
Curry used the iconic logo after the pick-and-roll to hit the frame with a three-pointer. Jokic made a beautiful turn around Green, but he missed the shot when he shot.
Thompson's cut layup was blocked by the basket under defensive pressure, and the three-pointer that Holiday wanted to win also hit the front of the basket.
At this point in the game, it was obvious that the shooting percentages of both teams had dropped precipitously due to the decline in physical fitness.
This is also a normal phenomenon. High-intensity confrontation consumes a lot of energy.
Not to mention the others, Tang Tian, Curry and Durant were all obviously out of breath when running on the court.
This is not the back-and-forth running of the small ball era, this is the melee basketball of the early century that must be contested every round.
The scoring efficiency in the two rounds in the past few minutes was not high, and the two teams only scored 4 points in more than three minutes.
But it's like a long-distance race, only those who can sprint to the end are the real players.
The same is true for basketball games. By this time, those who can still throw a basketball in are the real superstars.
There are people like this on both teams, Durant and Curry on one side, and Tang Tian on the other.
One minute before the end of the game, Durant misplaced to face Davis' long arm and hit a mid-range shot, helping the Warriors get a key two-point lead!
He doesn't have the strength to do too many feints, and Davis' long arms block out the sky, but he can throw the ball in!
45 seconds before the end, Tang Tian tricked Thompson with a fake fax shot, rushed to the basket and confronted Green and scored the ball, helping the Pelicans tie the score!
When his physical energy was exhausted, he relied entirely on his body's instincts to play, but he could still score the ball!
30 seconds before the end of the game, Durant's outside three-pointer missed the basket.
10 seconds before the end of the game, Tang Tian made a double-team hit and turned back, killing the Warriors!
The Warriors' timeout, the final attack of the audience after the timeout came back.
The Pelicans' defense was airtight, but before the final whistle, Durant put the ball into the basket with one hand while confronting Ariza in the air, helping the Warriors tie the score!
At the end of the regular season, the two teams tied at 96 and entered overtime!
The fans at the scene were excited.
He obviously didn't win, but he was more excited than winning!
Not because you can watch an overtime game for free, but the charm of basketball!
At the last moment, Tang Tian and Durant's key ball ability is like a fight between gods, which is very enjoyable to watch.
Watching a game like this is better than watching games in the past few seasons!
This is real basketball!
Chapter 922 There is not much time left for the Warriors (fourth update!)
Both teams seldom played overtime this season, because they have Durant on one side and Tang Tian on the other, and both of them are very capable of key shots.
But now the two sides are playing overtime, which just shows the key ball ability of the two.
