The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The first thousand and 250 four chapters are distressing villains

The series opener between the two sides was played at the New Orleans Arena.

On matchday, both teams had open training sessions.

The training of the Warriors has attracted special attention.

The Pelicans fight for four seasons, and each season is full of highlights, but it is no exaggeration to say that this year should be the one with the most disparity in strength.

Although the Pelicans won 80 wins last year, the Warriors also had a four-star lineup, which is not embarrassing on paper.

But this year Durant left, and Green's style changed drastically, causing a serious decline in the team's defense.

The outside world said it was a gathering of friends, but in fact everyone knows that the Warriors are at a disadvantage this year.

Especially when Tang Tian reached the pinnacle of his career.

After the Warriors practice, Green was mobbed by reporters.

There is a huge disparity in strength, and they hope to hear some drooling words from Green, just like in the past.

In this case, it will also make the game more interesting.

"Draymond, now the outside world believes that the Warriors will be eliminated, and ESPN also believes that the Warriors are a weaker side. What do you think of this?"

The reporter from TNT took the lead in asking questions, and his questions were quite drooling.

The other reporters also pointed their recording pens at Green in unison.

They are looking forward to Green's next words, and there is a high probability that it will be a battle of words.

"Yes, we are indeed weaker."

But what Green said next surprised everyone.

Because of his mediocre performance in the season, the Warriors interviewed in the past, and reporters didn't like to find him very much, but went to the Splash Brothers.

It's been a long time since I was interviewed by so many reporters.

But Green's answer really shocked them.

Green, actually admitted that the Warriors are weaker?

Is this still the big-mouthed Green who is fearless? !

"But we're going to try to win and I'm sure we can."

Although Green added some words later, it was more like explaining what he said earlier.

Other reporters asked some questions one after another, but got similar answers.

Green, it seems that it is really not Green!

The contents of these interviews were quickly reported by the media.

On the afternoon of the game day, the Pelicans went to the locker room one after another to prepare for the game.

As soon as Tang Tian sat down, Danny Green came over and chatted with him about the interview with Draymond Green.

"He did it on purpose? Using another way to provoke a war of words?"

Danny Green is also full of curiosity. The Green Draymond he knows is not such a person. These words are really strange.

Tang Tian smiled.

"Do you believe that a person's character can change?"

After laughing, he didn't answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

Green didn't expect Tang Tian to ask such a question suddenly. After thinking about it, he shook his head, and then spoke.

"A person's character is partly innate, and partly determined by the environment in which he grows up. Once formed, it is difficult to change."

Tang Tian nodded, Green is still very mature, and his view of human nature is very comprehensive.

"I used to think so, but now I don't think so."

But after nodding, Tang Tian said a different point of view.

"why?"

Green looked puzzled.

"Kevin Durant."

Tang Tian didn't explain, but said a person's name.

Green froze for a moment, thought for a while, then nodded.

Durant is Tang Tian's opponent, but his character this season has really changed a lot from the past.

As he said, part of a person's personality is determined by the growth environment, but after experiencing some major events, the personality will also change.

Durant will change, and Green will naturally change, and the change should be more natural.

After all, he was physically flawed.

In fact, some signs can already be seen from the change in his playing style at the beginning of the season.

As for the fact that he was still a big mouth at that time, just like Durant, the change of character also needs a process.

Just like Tang Tian has a system plug-in, it takes time to train him to acquire a skill.

That kind of instant change is only found in fantasy novels.

"So rest assured, the first round will be a good one."

Tang Tian said to Green with a smile.

Green looked at Tang Tian in surprise, Tang Tian seldom milked himself like this.

But Tang Tian dared to say that, he really knew it in his heart.

That night, the Pelicans ushered in their first playoff game at home against the Warriors.

The attendance rate of the New Orleans Arena was full, and even the live broadcast outside the arena was crowded with people.

This year is the year when the Pelicans hit four consecutive championships, and the opponent is the Warriors, and this is the first game in the series, which is likely to determine the trend.

It's hard for them not to pay attention.

After the scene entered the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Warriors' side, Curry and Thompson's Splash Brothers are on the outside, Iguodala and Green Draymond are on the front line, and Cousins ​​​​is the center.

Since Green's style of play has changed, Cole's five-small lineup can no longer be used, and Green has also swung from the original fourth and fifth positions to the third and fourth positions.

For the Pelicans, Brogdon and Tang Tian on the outside, Danny Green and Davis on the front line, and Gasol on the center.

Both sides are regular lineups.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Gasol jumped and beat Cousins, officially kicking off the game.

As soon as Brogdon advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Davis was in the low post, and then the Pelicans opened up both wings.

Brogdon lobs the ball to Davis, who backs Green.

This is obviously Stevens' tactical arrangement.

Davis moved his feet continuously, and finally shook Green away, and scored a shot on the board.

Green couldn't guard Davis at his peak, let alone after the game changed drastically.

The Pelicans took the lead, but when Curry came back, he used Iguodala's pick-and-roll to hit a three-pointer from the outside.

He's been really good this season.

In the frontcourt position of the Pelicans, Davis continued to play Green in the low post.

The Warriors haven't double-teamed yet.

After Davis felt that Green's defensive strength was weak in the previous round, he directly increased his strength this time.

After a few hard chisels, he turned around and squeezed Green away.

"Oh!"

Direct dunks with both hands scored!

The scene burst into cheers.

Davis hit Green twice in the opening game, and the second ball was a dunk.

It seems that this time Green was rarely right before the game, the Warriors are indeed weaker!

The Warriors missed a wave of offense, and Gasol protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans went to the frontcourt to play again, and Davis continued to play Green.

But this time Iguodala took it in.

The Warriors assisted in the rotation, and the Pelicans finally got the ball in Tang Tian's hands.

Tang Tian accelerated and rushed to the free throw line, and the Warriors all shrank.

Tang Tian had already prepared, a moving through ball to Davis at the bottom line.

Davis took the ball and took a step, facing Green who returned to the defense and directly vacated.

"Oh!"

Under the explosive cheers of the fans at the scene, Davis directly dunked Green!

Green is still called Draymond, but has been completely ravaged by Davis!

In the Warriors' offense, Green held the ball at the top of the arc to organize, and Thompson and Curry ran around the pick-and-roll.

Green saw the timing and passed the ball to Thompson.

"Snapped!"

But he didn't pay attention to Tang Tian's running position, the ball didn't reach, and Tang Tian rushed out and intercepted it!

After Tang Tian made the steal, he sped up a one-stop fast break.

The Greens were at the top of the arc, turned around and retreated quickly.

The two came to the front court one after the other.

Tang Tian rushed to the free throw line and took off in the air. Green jumped up to block the shot.

However, after he jumped up, there were many painful memories in his mind. The original action of blocking the block was withdrawn, and it directly changed to dodge.

But it was too late.

"Oh!"

Amidst the wild cheers from the fans, Tang Tian smashed the ball into the basket through Green!

There were constant cheers at the scene, but some fans on the hotline couldn't bear to watch.

It's okay to be hit by Davis, and it's okay to be dunked by Davis. After all, Davis is an insider.

But now he is still detained by Tang Tian!

From the beginning to the present, Green's situation is really distressing!

The first thousand and 250 chapters of life are like a bow, if you can't resist, enjoy it

Cole rested his chin on his hands and was lost in thought.

Green's style of play has changed a lot this season, but his performance on the court is actually not bad. After all, he still has one-handed organization and three-pointers.

This is why he still starts with Green.

But I don't know why Green's performance is extremely bad as long as he plays against the Pelicans this season.
