The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The scene was restless.

The familiar plot from the first scene will be staged again.

But fortunately, Bo Yang didn't grasp the chance ball from outside, and Collins protected the defensive rebound.

McCollum advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Collins, and then split it back to Collins.

Collins received the ball from outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

A crisp sound.

The atmosphere at the Moda Center was ignited again.

This three-pointer is quite critical!

The camera was used to write about Collins, this rookie from Las Vegas, who was just 97 years old in 20, was quite handsome.

But immediately he was taught a lesson by Walker. Walker used Davis' pick-and-roll misplaced singles, not only scoring, but also causing his defensive foul.

When Walker made an additional free throw, the Pelicans also scored a 3-pointer, which evened out the [-]-pointer that Collins scored just now.

Walker's 2+1 has greatly improved the morale of the Pelicans. Back on the defensive end, the Blazers have no chance for consecutive pick-and-rolls.

Seeing that the attack time was about to come, McCrum double-teamed a pot-throwing pass to Collins.

Collins had no choice, and forced a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.

The previous ball was a chance ball, but this ball is completely difficult.

"boom!"

The shot was obviously overweight, and the ball hit the backboard directly.

However, after hitting the ball, it rebounded and fell into the net bag.

Although there was some luck, Collins scored two three-pointers in a row!

The cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable.

The Blazers' bench is also boiling.

Stotts smiled even more rarely.

These two three-pointers really abruptly blocked the Pelicans' wave and saved the Trail Blazers' life.

The gap between the benches of the two sides was evened out because of Collins, a surprise soldier.

And that's not counting, back to the defensive end, Walker made another breakthrough, this time Collins learned how to do it and didn't attack casually, he interfered but didn't foul.

Walker's layup missed, and he also took advantage of the defensive rebound.

The Blazers took advantage of the fast break, and the Pelicans blocked McCrum's fast break.

But no one noticed that Collins, who took the backcourt a second ago, quickly followed up to the frontcourt.

He received a return pass from McCrum, flew to the layup and made Butler's defensive foul!

He got two free throw opportunities!

The scene cheered again.

Collins' performance in this section is full of presence.

Collins adjusted his breathing.

The first penalty, bumped to the back edge and went in.

The second penalty is hollow into the net.

He made both free throws!

The Trail Blazers tied the score again!

At this moment, Tang Tian looked at the casino boy.

Not to mention, this Collins is really handsome.

In this period, he scored 8 points in a row. He is handsome and able to play.

And the most important thing is that the outbreak was very timely, helping the Trail Blazers survive this transition from the bench.

Not to mention the whole game, but in the first half, both teams played.

The first thousand and 140 chapters and six mechanical watches Lillard (3/4!)

Tang Tian's premonition was right. In the second quarter, when the main players of both sides came back, the Blazers' firepower remained the same.

The two teams staged a confrontational battle throughout the first half.

Lillard scored 30 points in the half, and his performance exploded.

Under his leadership, the Trail Blazers also tied the Pelicans at 65 at halftime.

The two teams combined to score 130 points in halftime, which is quite terrifying.

"It was the best half of the playoffs this year."

At the end of halftime, Kenny Smith, who has always been low-key, gave this halftime a very high-profile evaluation.

But there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Halfway through the regular season, the teams in the league have a consensus.

If you want to stalemate with the Pelicans, or even win the Pelicans, the only way is to play against the Pelicans.

Defense is impossible. You can guard against the other three hard-working brothers, but you can't guard against Tang Tian.

How many points Tang Tian wants to get now is very close to the state of "how many points you get depends on your mood".

But there is only one ball in a basketball game. As long as there are no mistakes, the offensive rounds are similar.

So playing confrontation is the only way.

Although this is difficult to do, it is still possible.

The Trail Blazers' performance in this half was textbook.

"Shaq, how long do you think the Trail Blazers can last?"

During the halftime break, the players of both teams went back to the locker room to rest. They were doing halftime activities on the spot, and the Big Three in the commentary chatted boringly.

Barkley asked O'Neal a question at this time.

"By the end of the third quarter, the game will lose its suspense."

O'Neill said firmly.

This answer is very O'Neill, and Barkley laughed after hearing it.

"Charles, did you forget the 5 minutes I said so quickly?"

Seeing Buckley's reaction, O'Neill couldn't help but look at him proudly.

5 minutes refers to the previous game between the Pelicans and the Spurs. He said that the Spurs could not survive for 5 minutes, and in the end they really did not survive.

Barkley nodded with a smile.

O'Neal often milks the Pelicans, but last time he was right.

Now the strength of this Pelicans team is really not so easy to be milked.

"What do you think, Kenny?"

Barkley then looked at Smith, who was much more serious in comparison.

"I agree with what Shaq said."

But what Barkley didn't expect was that Smith had the same opinion as O'Neill this time.

It seems that the strength of the Pelicans has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In fact, it's not just Barkley and Smith, fans on the hotline are also talking about how long the Trail Blazers can last.

Lillard scored 30 points in the half, and the Trail Blazers' overall shooting percentage in the first half was close to 6%.

These are not routine performances.

But even so, it was only a tie with the Pelicans.

It is difficult for them to play such a performance in the second half. It is impossible to win, it is just a question of how long they can last.

And their views are also very consistent with O'Neal. After the third quarter, the game should be decided.

The halftime time was very fast, 15 minutes passed, and the players of the two teams returned to the court one after another.

When the Pelicans came up to attack first, Tang Tian changed direction and passed McCollum, broke into the inside and smashed the ball into the basket through Aminu.

This ball directly poured cold water on the fans at the scene.

The fans also quickly understood a message that the Trail Blazers' state may decline, but the Pelicans will not because they have Tang Tian.

"Shh!"

But on the next possession, Lillard responded with a signature [-]-pointer.

He wore this watch for a long time tonight, not to mention one half, but it will continue in the second half depending on the posture.

Tang Tian swayed McCrum in the frontcourt, made an emergency stop, and made another move.

The Pelicans once again overtook the score!

Lillard turned around and tried to pay back with a three-pointer, but Butler switched defenses at this time, putting him under a lot of pressure.

The basketball knocked at the front and popped out.

Tang Tian continued to break through the frontcourt, and the Trail Blazers contracted early. Tang Tian gave the ball to Butler who cut in, and the latter flew to the basket to get 2 points.

The Pelicans took a 3-point lead.

Lillard also scored sudden points, but McCrum's chances of catching the ball were not good, and his layup to the inside was also interfered with and missed.

Turning around, Tang Tian took the ball and continued to play. The fake fax made a sudden layup and caused Nurkic's thugs.

The scene was restless.

O'Neill in the commentary seat looked smug, and the fans on the hotline were also excited.

They said the Pelicans would end the game in the third quarter, and they did.

It was very difficult for the Trail Blazers to attack like in the first half, but it was easy for the Pelicans. It was a bug for Tang Tian to play seriously!

Tang Tian made two free throws.

He scored 6 points and 1 assist in a row, and the Pelicans also extended their lead to 5 points in a blink of an eye.

Following this trend, it will be a matter of time before the Pelicans open up the score.

"Come on! Pioneers!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the fans at the scene began to cheer for the home team in unison.

Lillard was double-teamed with a sudden step with the ball.

Stevens also knew that this was an opportunity for the team to open up the score and did not give Lillard an easy chance to attack.

Lillard was forced to throw the ball to McCrum.

But he didn't stop the ball, but took the initiative to run without the ball.

Nurkic and Aminu had an elevator door tactic at a 45-degree angle on the right, letting Lillard go and blocking Butler who was chasing him.

McCrum passed the ball immediately, and Lillard caught the ball and turned around to make a three-pointer.

The fans at the scene held their breath.

There is a big difference between scoring this goal and not scoring it.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Lillard scored a key three-pointer!
