Just like he attended the post-match press conference with his two sons, he has grown from a young man after time travel to a middle-aged man.
For him who had been single in his previous life, this was a brand new experience.
Immediately after the awards ceremony was the opening ceremony, where the starters of both sides appeared one after another.
Both teams have continued the starting lineups of the past three games, still using small lineups.
After seeing the Pelicans lineup, Cole gradually became more confident.
The Pelicans didn't make a big move, which is good news for him and the Warriors.
Davis jumped and beat Green, officially kicking off the game.
Tang Tian broke through with the ball in the frontcourt.
The Warriors' strategy is the same as in the previous games, and they still insist on double-teaming.
Tang Tian gave the ball to Davis under the basket, and Davis suppressed Green's close-range shot.
The rhythm of the ball shot is very good, just like the training during the day, the state is in good shape.
But the ball slid around the basket and rolled out again!
Green grabs the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans' first wave of offense returned without success!
Looking back, Curry broke through the basket and caused a defensive foul. He made two free throws and opened the scoring for the Warriors.
Tang Tian hit a double-team in the frontcourt. The trajectory and strength of the ball were very good, but the ball still rolled out after spinning twice on the basket.
The Warriors counterattacked, and Green squeezed past Davis and Ariza's double-team shot.
The ball was very difficult, and Green's shot was obviously a bit off.
But the ball rolled in after bouncing a few times on the rim!
The opening rounds became a microcosm of the entire first half of the game between the two sides.
The Pelicans' players were in good shape, but many of the must-have shots didn't go in.
On the other hand, on the Warriors side, all the bumpy balls finally went in.
At halftime, the Warriors led the Pelicans by 50 points 35-15.
This is also the biggest difference between the two sides in the halftime series.
If the last two goals in the previous two games just made people think that it might have something to do with Jordan's mouth, then this game is completely solid.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the state of the Pelicans is good, but the ball just can't get in as if it was manipulated.
One game is fine, for the third consecutive game, Jordan is really poisonous!
Tatum watched from the stands and shook his head helplessly.
He has tried his best to help Tang Tian, but this metaphysical thing is really beyond human power.
The fans at the scene were extremely excited. The Warriors had a high probability of winning the match point 3-1 tonight and took the initiative in the entire series!
In the locker room of the Pelicans midfielder, the players were extremely depressed.
If you are in a bad state, you can still adjust yourself, but if you are in a good state but you can't make a goal, it really feels like you have no reason to reason.
"Fuck the fuck Michael!"
Stephenson couldn't hold back, and swears directly.
On the one hand, it is because of the team's backwardness. On the other hand, he has also fallen out of the rotation now, and it is human nature to be irritable.
Tang Tian was sitting next to him, and he reached out and patted Stephenson's shoulder, signaling him not to be so excited.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up from his seat.
The performance in the first half can only be described by metaphysics, and it can't even be solved by pouring chicken soup.
So instead of talking to the players, he got up and walked straight out of the locker room and went to the coach's office.
He knocked on the door and walked in. Inside, Stevens and Gentry were discussing the countermeasures for the second half.
Seeing that it was Tang Tian, Stevens directly motioned him to sit down.
The two have been together for two years and have cooperated tacitly, so there is no need for too many polite words.
Gentry, on the other hand, was a little surprised to see Tang Tian coming in.
The tactics of the Pelicans this season are relatively simple. He has never seen Tang Tian and Stevens discuss tactics before.
"We can only start from the defense, force the Warriors to make mistakes, and then hit the counter ball."
Tang Tian spoke his mind.
If there is metaphysics, try to reduce shots as much as possible, dunks and layups will always be scored.
"If you fall into a positional battle, try to hit the basket as much as possible, so that you won't be counterattacked by your opponent."
Stevens quickly understood Tang Tian's thoughts, and then spoke.
Tang Tian nodded, and the tacit understanding between the two quickly caught up with the couple, and they knew what they were going to do after they patted their buttocks.
Gentry was a little taken aback, but after thinking about it, what Tang Tian and Stevens said was indeed the best way to deal with it now.
After formulating a general idea and then refining it, Stevens quickly took the tactical board and went straight to the locker room, and took the time to arrange tactics.
"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of tactics."
On the way to the locker room, Gentry couldn't help but said to Tang Tian.
"You'll get used to it."
Tang Tian replied lightly.
Gentry froze for a moment, then couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
This invisible coercion.
The half-time break was very fast. In the first 5 minutes of the second half, players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
Back in the second half, the Warriors took the lead.
The Pelicans' defense put a lot of pressure on them, but Curry had a big heart and scored a three-pointer at the buzzer against Holiday.
The point difference has reached 18 points. If the 20-point mark is broken, the game will basically be spent.
Looking back, Holiday slammed into the basket, the ball hit the back edge of the basket and missed, and Davis' tip also missed the basket.
The rebound was finally protected by Green.
"This is not their night."
In the commentary, Breen sighed.
He has seen too many games, and the Pelicans have really bad luck tonight.
Throughout the first half, the basket seemed to cover them. I thought that in the second half, the situation would improve in another half, but the result was still the same.
Like he said, tonight's basket denied the Pelicans the ball, this is not their night.
"I now believe that Michael can't talk casually."
Miller said with a smile on the sidelines.
He has a good relationship with Jordan, and only he can say such jokes.
Brin laughed too.
Ever since Jordan was optimistic about the Pelicans, the Pelicans have lost all the way. As of tonight's situation, no one believes that it is poisonous.
"It's such a pity for them, especially Don, what a season he's had."
Brin said regretfully.
It sounds like a pity that the unanimous MVP missed the championship in the end.
"But this is the NBA. Not everyone is Michael. Don is very strong, but it turns out that Don is not Michael, and not everyone can be a dynasty."
Miller continued.
He had fought against Jordan all his life and knew how strong that man was.
He also felt that Tang Tian was very close, but from the current situation, he still underestimated Jordan.
Chapter 986 The True Fragrance of the Three Human Essences (First Update!)
"Let's go, Warriors!"
The scene cheered loudly.
The emotions of the fans also reached a peak at this time.
As long as the Warriors score another goal, the point difference will officially reach the 20-point mark!
20 points, for two teams with similar strengths, is basically equivalent to announcing in advance that they will win the game tonight!
The Warriors cooperated continuously in the frontcourt, but after the Pelicans came back in the second half, their defensive intensity increased very high, and they did not have a direct chance to score.
Thompson was all spiritual at this time, received a pass from Curry and flew to the basket, and knocked down with Ariza who was helping to defend, causing the latter's defensive foul.
The fall was a bit heavy, and he shook his arm when he got up, but fortunately he was not injured.
When he got to the free throw line, he adjusted his body and swayed from side to side to shoot.
"Shh!"
The first free throw was hit steadily, and the point difference has come to 19 points.
The faces of the fans at the scene burst into excitement, and Thompson scored the next goal, and the point difference officially came to 20 points!
Thompson made more than 87% of his free throws this season, and this kind of free throw is very reliable.
"Dangdang!"
But maybe the drop just now did have an impact, and Thompson's second free throw hit the frame.
Davis reacted quickly, ready to judge the basketball's landing point, and grabbed the defensive rebound first.
The defensive strategy developed by the Pelicans in the second half is defensive counterattack, not just stealing the direct counterattack opportunity, after all, there are not many such opportunities.
What's more, it's a counterattack after grabbing a rebound like just now.
Davis looked for Tang Tian immediately after he got the ball, and after seeing Tang Tian had rushed out of the three-point line, he directly threw a long throw in the backcourt.
His passing quality is definitely not as good as Jokic, but Tang Tian also knows this.
He turned his head to look while running, adjusted his direction, got the ball near the right side, and then accelerated again, throwing Iguodala behind him.
Rushing to the front court, seeing Iguodala jumping up early to cover him, he directly took the ball with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket heavily.
Iguodala rushed too hard and covered the backboard. After landing, he shook his hand for a while. Although he withdrew his strength, it was somewhat painful.
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
The point difference did not go to 20 points as they expected, but was recovered by two points by the Pelicans.
Cole sat on the bench and didn't move. There was still a 17-point difference on the field, and the Warriors were still very stable.
The Warriors attacked again in the frontcourt, and their tactical thinking was the same as in the past two games. Durant contained Tang Tian's defense and used Curry to tear the defense.
However, the Pelicans did not give a chance. After continuous confrontation, Curry failed to make a throw while moving.
Davis jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.
This time he took the rebound and gave it to the nearby Brogdon, and Brogdon gave it to Holiday.
The Pelicans' two-on-one frontcourt.
Holiday rushed to the frontcourt, fearing that the pass would be destroyed by Curry, so he directly passed the ball up.
It was a not-so-good alley catch, but Tang Tian jumped high enough, there was a movement of hugging the ball in the air, and then smashed the ball towards the basket.
Curry saw it and ran away.
"Oh!"
