The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Back on the defensive end, Ariza paid attention to marking Robertson. Westbrook had no place to pass the ball after his sudden attack.

Adams was slapped to death by Jokic, Tang Tian turned around and received the defensive rebound.

Holiday advanced to half court, turned around and handed the ball to Tang Tian.

Seeing Tang Tian holding the ball continuously, Donovan thought that the Pelicans were going to switch back to their season style of play, but the next second, Tang Tian made a tactical gesture and gave the ball in.

The ball is in Davis' hands, and the space between the bottom corner and the 45-degree angle is opened. This is another low-post singles tactic!

The Pelicans are still practicing tactics!

It's just a different style!

Donovan's eyes were red with anger.

This is a playoff game, not a training game!

However, Grant failed to guard against Davis.

After Davis turned around, he put the basket into the frame, and the Pelicans overtook the score.

Grant defended well, but was overwhelmed by Davis in all aspects of height, weight, wingspan and experience. He tried his best and still couldn't defend the ball.

Westbrook attacked Tang Tian in the frontcourt, but he still didn't.

Durant was defended by Tang Tian with psychological problems, so he couldn't perform well. Westbrook was really restrained.

What he is best at is also what Tang Tian is good at, which really makes no sense.

Looking back, Davis continued to play back with the ball in the low post.

Oladipo shrunk to help defend, and Davis gave the ball to Holiday.

Robertson did not dare to change against Tang Tian at the top of the arc, Westbrook on the weak side had no time to change, and Holiday got an open shot at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.

"Shh!"

This time he grasped it, and hit with the knife in his hand.

11:6.

The Pelicans extended their lead to 5 points.

Not only did Donovan's eyes turn red, but he was also out of breath.

The Thunder are not experience babies!

It is not for you to fight monsters and upgrade!

But it seems that the Pelicans are really playing them as experience babies.

Jokic's high-post support in the front, and now Davis' low-post singles, who knows what tactics the Pelicans will practice later!

Oladipo missed a three-pointer from the outside. Fortunately, Adams grabbed the frontcourt and assisted Grant to score a second offense.

8:11.

Donovan looked up at the score and caught his breath.

The point difference is not too big, and even the Pelicans' lack of continuity in their offense is good for the Thunder overall.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Davis in the low post.

But this time the Thunder were prepared in advance, and Westbrook's defense arrived quickly.

Davis passed the ball to Ariza, Westbrook was back on defense, and Ariza didn't make a phone call.

In terms of offensive efficiency alone, Tang Tian is indeed the most efficient in singles with the ball.

The ball finally reached Tang Tian's hands, Tang Tiansan threatened to face Robertson, and made a dry shot from outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

A three-pointer hits the net.

The mood of the fans at the scene was high.

Whenever the Pelicans' offense doesn't go well, Tang Tian can immediately stand up and score!

Donovan's face darkened.

What a foul!

No, this is cheating!

Play a tactic for several rounds, and if it doesn't go well, give it to Tang Tian.

This is relying on Tang Tian, ​​unscrupulous, doing whatever he wants!

Westbrook still didn't make a zombie pull in the frontcourt, and Adams didn't make a tip-up.

Donovan has never been a tactical coach, and with Westbrook out, the ways this Thunder can score are really limited.

Looking back, the Pelicans adjusted their tactics again. Tang Tian was holding the ball at the top of the arc, while Holiday and Ariza were running without the ball!

Donovan was stunned.

Nima, this is because he didn't want to be trained as an experience baby, the Pelicans slapped him on the ground and told him: No, you want to!

The continuous switching tactics of the Pelicans will test the Thunder's defensive response.

The reaction didn't keep up with this one, and Holiday went around to catch the ball and then scored a three-pointer!

He scored two three-pointers in the first quarter, and he felt very good tonight!

17 is better than 8!

In the blink of an eye, the point difference has been opened to 9 points!

Donovan has been shut down enough to sit back on the bench.

This is practicing and practicing, and the difference is widened!

And like some sports, one posture is not enough, change the posture!

But fortunately, he didn't have to shut himself up for the whole game. The Pelicans practiced and practiced and opened the point difference to 20 points in three quarters.

In the last quarter, the Pelicans were still unable to counterattack, and the game was concluded.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 106-86 at home and got a good start to the playoffs.

鹈鹕队六人得分上双，戴维斯得到全队最高的23分11篮板，霍乐迪17分，约基奇13分8板6助攻。

唐天划水，14投8中，19分5板5助攻。

威斯布鲁克22投4中，只有13分11板5助攻进账。

The result of the game was not too unexpected.

Although it is a duel between two triple-double kings, the gap in strength between the two teams is still obvious.

But what was unexpected was the process.

Donovan is not the only one who understands football, but there are also many fans who understand football. They watched the game with their mouths open and eyes staring.

The Pelicans were playing a practice match. They played with various tactics. If they played well, they would score consecutively. If they didn't play well, they would give Tang Tian a ball.

Just practicing like this, they won the game...

And the Thunder team on the opposite side was stunned by various postures, and finally couldn't resist, so they could only be forced to enjoy...

Chapter 964 I'm desperate too!

"This is a very exciting game. Our opponents played a first-class defensive intensity. They are worthy opponents."

In the press conference after the game, Stevens was still praising the Thunder.

"But you beat them by 20 points."

The reporter reminded.

"There is no difference between winning 20 points and winning by 1 point. They just feel bad tonight. Once they find the feel, the game will be completely different."

After listening to Stevens' words, Tang Tian couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

I don't know if it's because of staying with him for a long time. Stevens, who was originally a very serious coach, has become a little skinny.

Is this the so-called red one who is close to vermilion, and black one who is close to ink?

The atmosphere of the press conference of the Pelicans was relaxed, while that of the Thunder was not so relaxed.

Head coach Donovan was bombarded by reporters.

Some questioned his formation, some questioned his lack of timely defensive adjustments, and some questioned his ineffective tactics.

"Coach Donovan did everything he could, and the responsibility for this loss is on me."

Westbrook stepped forward to help Donovan block the bullet.

His performance this time was indeed not good, and his speaking out immediately made the reporters in the audience stop attacking Donovan.

But immediately, the guns turned to Westbrook.

"Do you have any way to deal with Tang's defense?"

"Do you think the Thunder still have a chance in the next game?"

"Will this team be unable to win the championship without Durant?"

Westbrook glanced coldly at the reporter who asked the last question, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"I will adjust my state in the next game."

However, he is really different off the field and on the field, and he behaves extraordinarily calmly.

"We just lost a game, it's nothing, I believe in my players, we still have a chance."

Donovan coughed twice, then spoke.

Although they lost the first game, the Thunder generals looked very united.

Their solidarity is not only reflected in front of the media.

After the press conference, the two exchanged a lot in the aisle.

The content of the exchange is naturally related to the tactics of the Pelicans.

In the second day's training session, Donovan conducted targeted defensive training for the Thunder's diverse tactics.

Judging from the performance of the players, such targeted training has greatly improved morale.

Two days later, Game [-] of the series between the Pelicans and the Thunder continued in New Orleans.

There are still two hours before the start of the game, and a large number of fans have gathered inside and outside the arena.

The big victory in the opening game and the team's rich tactical play made the fans' expectations for the game even higher.

At this time, the players of the two teams also entered the arena from the underground garage one after another.

Tang Tian was chased by reporters all the way to take pictures, and when he got into the elevator, he sent a text message to Butler to encourage him.

The game between the Mavericks and the Rockets will start before them. The Mavericks lost an away game last time. Butler needs his encouragement.

"I'll give it my all every night, but only if you're by my side."

Butler replied quickly, but the content of the reply was somewhat intriguing.

It seems that those jokes made at the All-Star Gathering were not just jokes.

Tang Tian didn't return, put away his phone and went directly to the locker room to change into training clothes.

His attention was still on the game in front of him.

The tactics of the Pelicans will be the same as the previous game, but it is foreseeable that the Thunder will definitely make targeted defenses.

So this game will be much more difficult than the first one.

However, they will not change their tactics. The first game is a surprise. To achieve the training effect, the key to the performance of the second game is the performance of targeted defense.

Before Tang Tian entered the locker room, he saw that Stevens was also coming, and the two had a brief exchange of words. What he thought, Stevens thought too.

"We have to be prepared to fight tough battles."
