The invincible kryptonite of basketball

There is more than one kind of confrontation in basketball, and he knows more than one kind.

He used to be alone, but now that Cole instructed him face-to-face, he was very motivated.

The first thousand and 150th chapters of basketball is a confrontational sport (2)

That night, the Oracle Center Arena was packed.

Although the situation of 0 to 2 behind is not optimistic, the support of Bay Area fans for the Warriors has not diminished.

They are looking forward to the Warriors being able to break the undefeated golden body of the Pelicans at home and reverse the unfavorable situation of the series.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Hua, who had never dared to show up before, also appeared in the VIP box.

His sudden appearance also added a little uncertainty to the game.

But for the fans in the Bay Area, when the camera was shown to Xiao Hua, the look in their eyes was more excited.

Did they know that Xiao Hua has always supported the Warriors.

In such a crucial game, this is their "stimulant".

When Tang Tian saw Xiao Hua, he frowned first, and then laughed.

Xiao Hua really couldn't sit still, but it was also very interesting to make him completely despair in front of him.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started to play one after another.

Both sides continued to use the starting lineup of the previous two games.

Davis turned the ball back to the Pelicans half, officially kicking off Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals.

Tang Tian came up to break through with the ball, made a layup after the jump, and Durant's weak side assisted in blocking the block.

He twirled and moved in the air, pulled the ball to his waist, and stuffed the ball to Davis who cut in from the right.

Davis caught the ball and took a step forward, dunking with both hands to open the scoring for the Pelicans.

The Warriors' offense, Durant and Thompson spread out on the wings, Iguodala was in the low post, and Curry then gave the ball in.

Cole made a tactical adjustment. Several super giants of the team gave up the ball and let Iguodala take Walker by force.

Walker pushed a few times but failed to withstand it. Iguodala turned around and forced Walker, and the layup after the confrontation opened the scoring for the Warriors.

Cole's tactical adjustment is very useful.

Stevens got up and went to the sidelines, shouting a few words to Walker and Dedmon.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian's emergency stop after the breakthrough allowed the team to continue scoring.

Looking back, the Warriors repeated their old tricks.

But Walker chose to defend around the front this time.

And Dedmon's defensive position is also very different from the previous round. He stands at the free throw line, which is a position that can help defend the basket at any time.

Curry gave the ball to Green, and Dedmon's defensive position was too deep. This was Green's three-point opportunity.

Green catches the ball, glances at the rim, then dribbles with his back.

He didn't dare to shoot. In the past two years, his ability to shoot has continued to improve, but his three-point shooting ability has continued to decline.

Compared with shooting, he now prefers the ball-holding organization at the top of the arc.

Curry ran over to catch the ball again and shoot a three-pointer.

But Tang Tian bypassed the defense and swooped in to interfere.

"Dangdang!"

Curry's three-pointer hit the frame.

Dedmon recovered the defensive rebound under protection, and the Warriors' offense returned without success.

Walker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, played a pick-and-roll with Davis, broke through for a layup and caused Durant's defensive foul.

Steady made two free throws and the score was 6-2.

The Pelicans scored in three consecutive possessions.

Although from New Orleans to Oakland, the team's state is still hot.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and wanted to give the ball to Iguodala, but Walker continued to circle forward and Dedmon continued to stand at the free throw line.

After two consecutive attempts, Curry had to give up.

Stevens responded too quickly, and Cole was forced to give up after only one tactical adjustment.

The game returned to the rhythm of the past two games.

But the good news is that Durant's state is better than the previous two games.

After the first quarter, the score on the court was 33 to 22, with the Pelicans leading.

This score is acceptable to the fans at the scene, after all, this is already the smallest point difference in the first quarter of this series.

In the second quarter, Cole used a normal rotation, with Green and Thompson leading the team on the court.

But for the Pelicans, Stevens made adjustments and let Tang Tian lead four substitutes by himself.

Rose, Brogdon, Siakam and Harrell.

His adjustment is not without reason.

The Pelicans' offense went smoothly in the first quarter, and Tang Tian didn't attack much.

Physically speaking, he is still very strong.

Stevens knew that after Tang Tian said that, sweeping the Warriors must be done, and he didn't mean to hold back at all.

On the first attack back from the second quarter, Tang Tian took the ball and passed Thompson with a butterfly step. After speeding up, he smashed the ball into the basket through Green who was helping to defend.

The Pelicans bench was boiling, and the Oracle Arena was restless.

Tang Tian's playing is really brutal now.

Green had a displeased look on his face when he was dunked, but after taking a look at Tang Tian, ​​he felt that his crotch was cold and didn't dare to say anything.

Tang Tian interfered with Thompson's three-point catch.

The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian made a long pass from the backcourt to Rose, who flew to the basket and scored 2 points.

Thompson was blocked by Tang Tian and missed the chance to catch the ball. Livingston hit Rose with a low back, and his iconic turn and fall was missed by Tang Tian's defense.

Looking back, Tang Tian broke into the inside line and scored the ball against McGee's help defense.

39:22.

The Pelicans played a 6-0 offensive as soon as the second quarter came up, opening the point difference to 17 points.

Stevens' judgment was really accurate, Tang Tian had plenty of physical energy, and he completely dominated both offense and defense during this period.

Cole was forced to call a timeout.

"Draymond, do what you have to do!"

Pausing, Cole yelled at Green.

It seems that he is very dissatisfied with Green's performance tonight.

The Warriors players looked at each other, and it was the first time they saw Cole get so angry with Green.

But after Cole finished yelling, he looked at Green, and Green nodded silently.

This is a double entendre.

After the timeout, the Warriors made substitutions and adjustments, and Durant replaced Thompson.

Durant continued his excellent form tonight, turning up and jumping up to break the scoring shortage for the Warriors.

With a 15-point difference, the two sides still have a dozen.

Tang Tian continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt. At this time, the man defending him changed from Thompson to Livingston.

However, his offensive thinking has not changed. A butterfly step that draws closer and further away directly knocks Livingston down.

Amid the uproar of the fans at the scene, he broke into the inside line, and after seeing Green assisting the defense, he rose into the air and prepared to make another dunk.

But not long after jumping, he felt something coming straight into his eyes.

Because the incident happened suddenly, he only had time to turn his head. He only felt a pain in the corner of his eye, followed by a burning pain in his right eye.

"Oh!"

But he closed his eyes and smashed the ball into the basket.

The Pelicans bench was seething.

This is already the second time Tang Tian has dunked Green in this game!

Really, if you dare to come, I dare to deduct it until your mother doesn't even know it.

However, Stevens ran to the technical stage to call a timeout, and waved vigorously at the team doctor behind him to signal him to play.

He saw Tang Tian covered his eyes with his right hand after he dunked and landed, and squatted there for a long time without getting up.

The first thousand and 150 seven chapters basketball is a confrontational sport (3)

The game entered a timeout, and at this moment, the team doctor helped Tang Tian walk off the court.

Because everyone's attention was on Tang Tian's dunk just now, no one noticed what happened.

Even the members of the Pelicans thought that Tang Tian injured his shoulder and arm because he used too much force during the dunk.

It was only after the team doctor checked Tang Tian's eyes that they realized what happened just now.

At this time, the ball was played back at the scene. Green made an obvious swing of his hand while defending, which happened to hit Tang Tian in the eye.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Although Green is a player of the home team, this action is too dangerous. It is the same as kicking the crotch. If you are not careful, you can lose your eyes.

Tang Tian finally returned to the locker room with the support of the team doctor.

Stevens went to the tech station to protest strongly.

From Green kicking the crotch, to Pachulia stepping on the foot, and now Green poking the eye.

The Warriors' tricks are really endless.

And what's different from the past is that Tang Tian dodged all those tricks before, but he didn't dodge this time.

Now that Tang Tian has returned to the locker room ahead of schedule, he still doesn't know if he can play again.

Not playing is tantamount to useless. Even if you can come back, you don't know what your state will be like. After all, your eyes have a great impact on shooting.

And at the very least, Tang Tian will definitely not be able to come back during this period, and the momentum of the Pelicans to open the score has also been abruptly stopped.

Stevens finally returned to the bench with a displeased look on his face.

Because there is no whistle in front, the penalty cannot be added according to the rules.

In other words, Green's ball just now didn't even count as a foul.

Inside the VIP box on the sidelines.

A smile flashed across the corner of Xiao Hua's mouth.

Sure enough, he sits at home and puts pressure on the referee.

Right now, Tang Tian didn't know if he could play, and the Warriors' hopes of winning the game increased immediately.

And I have to say that Green is also a talent. Before kicking the crotch, he was kicked to pieces, but now he has changed his trick to poking the eye, which is more damaging and more lethal.

"Draymond, pay attention to your movements."

In the Warriors' halftime, Cole was anxious for the players to arrange the next tactics, and Thompson patted Green to remind him.
