There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
It can be seen from the opening cooperation of the Pelicans that the Pelicans feel quite good on the offensive end tonight.
Curry advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Pelicans were man-to-man.
Tang Tian defends Curry, Butler defends Thompson, Walker defends Iguodala, Davis defends Durant, and Dedmon defends Green.
This is a targeted man-to-man, and it focuses on the point where Iguodala has little ability to attack independently.
Curry reached out and made a tactical gesture. After Iguodala ran out, he suddenly cut back to the basket.
This is to catch the point that Walker is not tall enough to defend.
However, the Pelicans chose to switch directly. The nearby Dedmon shrunk to the basket, and Walker dislocated to Green.
Green was not a threat in the middle distance, he squeezed to the basket and reached for the ball.
Curry wanted to give it but was delayed by Tang Tian. The Pelicans' weak-side help defense rotated, and Butler had already switched to the basket.
The Warriors' tactical intentions were completely destroyed.
There was not much time left in the attack, and Curry used Iguodala's pick-and-roll to shoot a super long three-pointer.
But Iguodala didn't block Tang Tian, Curry's shot was seriously interfered by Tang Tian, the ball was obviously short, hit the front of the basket and hit the frame.
The defensive rebound was protected by Butler, and the Warriors' first offense returned without success!
"I take back what I said earlier, this will be the best game of the year."
Kenny Smith only watched this round, and took back what he said in the previous commentary on the Blazers.
The commentator is the most professional football master.
A simple round, just a few seconds, can see the super high tactical level and execution ability of the two teams.
It can also be seen that they attach great importance to each other, and the research and targeting before the game are quite thorough.
From the coaching staff to the players on the field, this is the duel between the real super teams!
Before Kenny Smith finished speaking, the Pelicans directly pushed the defensive counterattack.
The Warriors responded quickly, and Curry and Thompson's defenses were all in place.
But they retreated to the backcourt, Tang Tian received a pass from Walker, squeezed past Curry with a butterfly step, jumped up and directly with a one-handed tomahawk.
Curry was squeezed and was still retreating, which directly became the background board for Tang Tian's dunk.
"Oh!"
The ball was smashed into the basket.
Curry was also knocked out of the baseline.
The scene burst into cheers.
The fans felt distressed for a while on the hotline.
Golden State LaVine was obsessed with dunking after the All-Star Game, but he still acts as such a background board more often on the court.
4 to 0, the Pelicans took the lead.
The Warriors play tactics in the frontcourt, but the Pelicans' defensive quality is very high, and Thompson and Iguodala on the weak side have no chance at all.
Curry finally chose to find Durant for a pick-and-roll, but after dismantling it, Durant had no chance to switch to Tang Tian.
Curry chose to change direction and break through Davis, but Davis was very flexible and followed until the basket was interfered.
Davis took advantage of the trend to protect the defensive rebound, and the Warriors' offense returned without success again!
But this time they retreated quickly and did not give the Pelicans a chance to play a defensive counterattack.
Tang Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt to play positions, passing Thompson and Iguodala with continuous butterfly steps.
The Warriors shrank across the board and their defense was fully mobilized.
Tang Tian made a fake move of turning around and leaning back. After jumping up, he showed Olsen's power of happiness in the air, twisted his waist and passed the ball to Walker outside.
Walker's open three-pointer.
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
7 is better than 0!
The Pelicans' opening was not only a head start, but a big blow to the Warriors!
"I have a feeling the Pelicans tonight are a lot different than the Pelicans they've been in the past two rounds."
Barkley spoke at this time.
"Yeah, I feel the same way, the quality of their offensive and defensive play tonight, especially on the defensive end, is totally different."
Smith nodded and said, this is why he would express such emotion before.
"Yes, the difference is hard to describe, but it's really different."
Barkley then echoed.
"When it is strong, it is strong."
O'Neill didn't speak before, and he said with a little satisfaction after the two of them finished talking.
"The first two rounds are like warm-up and training. Who will give their best during training? This round is the real competition. When it comes to the competition, it is natural to show all your strength."
O'Neill looked like he was blowing, and even the Pelicans were blowing their mouths.
But Barkley and Smith both nodded unconsciously after listening.
When a strong team plays a game, because the lower limit is relatively high, it really needs a strong enough opponent to make them pay enough attention.
This is a pure mentality problem, and it can also explain why the Blazers can tie the Pelicans in the regular season, but they can't win in the end.
The strength gap is there, and the point difference depends entirely on the seriousness of the Pelicans.
The game on the court continued, and the change in the score also provided the most favorable evidence for O'Neal's boasting theory.
In 3 minutes, the score was 12 to 2.
5 minutes, 20 to 10.
7 minutes, 25 to 12.
9 minutes, 30 to 14!
After one quarter, 39 to 19!
The Pelicans actually led the Warriors by as much as 20 points after the first quarter!
During the break between festivals, Stevens was interviewed on the sidelines. He was in a good mood, affirming the performance of the players and beaming with joy.
And the camera is shown on the other side, Durant, Curry, and Green are all sitting on the sidelines to rest.
They wiped off their sweat, then looked up at the score, with an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Their own state is fine, but the offensive and defensive quality of the Pelicans tonight is too terrifying.
Or in other words, the Spurs and Trail Blazers were probably playing a fake Pelicans before!
The first thousand and 150 four chapters have no power to fight back
In the opening stage of the second quarter, Cole put Durant and Thompson on the court together.
His purpose is very clear, to bring the score closer in the transition from the bench.
However, Stevens was not polite to him, and also adjusted the rotation in the second quarter, replacing Tang Tian and Butler.
This is clearly aimed at.
And this targeting is really effective.
Both Butler and Tang Tian are well-known physical monsters in the league.
The former used to have the highest average playing time in the league under Thibodeau's account, and the latter even spit out Durant on the opposite side twice.
Not to mention targeting in this quarter, if necessary, Stevens can let both of them play the whole court.
This quarter lasted more than five minutes, the score was 49 to 29, and the difference between the two sides was still 20 points.
Cole was standing on the sidelines at this time with an expression on his face, already an expression of "who am I, where am I and what am I doing".
He is tantamount to wasting Durant's physical strength for nothing!
The two sides continued to rotate, Durant and Thompson went off to rest, and Green and Thompson played.
The Pelicans also have a rotation, but Rose and Siakam are off, and Walker and Davis are on!
Tang Tian and Butler are still on the field!
This substitution stunned Cole.
Stevens was also shot at the scene, and he looked like I was just playing hooligans like this.
It seems that Tang Tian was not the only one who responded to Green's words, he also kept a small notebook in his heart!
Kerr didn't dare to let Durant and Thompson play so much time. In terms of physical fitness, they still have a gap with Tang Tian Butler.
As a result, the Warriors are still at the bottom.
At halftime, 69 to 43, the point difference was widened to 26 points!
Some fans who just turned on the TV thought they were watching a fake Western Conference Finals.
The Warriors were helpless when they were beaten by the Pelicans!
And it was the same in the second half.
The Warriors failed to play their best wave in the third quarter, but the Pelicans opened the point difference to 30 points away!
Can't attack and can't defend, the Warriors are losing every quarter!
Moreover, Green and Durant also had a fierce quarrel because of the problem of defensive communication. When the former was replaced, he directly threw a towel.
The game lost its suspense at the end of the third quarter.
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Warriors 126 to 99 at home and won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals.
Six Pelicans scored in double figures, while the Warriors only scored in double figures with Durant, Curry and Thompson.
The result of the Pelicans winning was expected by many fans, but no one expected it to be this score.
After all, the Warriors have two super giants and two All-Stars. The lineup is as strong as last year, and it has been running in for another year.
It is precisely because of this that there was a lot of discussion about the game on social media after the game.
"Green Draymond is really a clown! With this score, the Warriors have a chance?"
"Although the game cannot be discussed in one game, I still want to say that the Warriors have absolutely no power to fight back!"
"Grandma was deceived before. The Pelicans have been playing in the first two rounds. When they meet the Warriors, they really fight. Mom won't know the Warriors!"
"The main reason is that Tang and Butler are too perverted. It doesn't matter if they are top-notch defensively, or top-notch offensively. It's fine to have a combination of offense and defense. They are both physical monsters."
"Yeah, with these two people, plus Davis who can defend Durant, this really beats the Warriors!"
"Look at what you said, is there a team that the Pelicans can't beat? (?ω?)"
"Truth buddy, I don't think any team can beat the Pelicans in the playoffs except Jandoo."
"Don't talk about defeating, I think the Pelicans are serious about playing. If they want to win, the Warriors and Cavaliers can't win a game..."
"Although the words are absolute, it seems to be the reality."
"Bullshit, a group of keyboard warriors who can only talk about one game!" A statement from a Jokic fan.
"That's right, it's just that the Warriors don't feel good this time. When Stephen and Durant break out in the next game, wait to be slapped in the face!" A statement from a Godfather fan.
"By the way, these trumpets are too obvious! @Kevin·Durant, should I register a few new trumpets first? (___)ノ|"
"Hey! I saw the news. Tang Tian said 'four.four.four' to the media before the match!"
"What?! Grooving, is it so explosive? I remember Malone saying this when he beat the Lakers?"
