Back in the second quarter, Davis continued to fall low.

However, the Warriors are not using Green, but are using Pachulia to defend.

Davis held the ball with his back and turned in quick succession to shake off Pachuria's shots.

His technique is smooth, but his eyes unconsciously glance down when he shoots.

It was this glance that made the ball that he shot glide out of the basket.

Green grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Warriors took the opportunity to fight back, and Livingston received the ball for a layup in the frontcourt, and after a hard-hitting confrontation with Stephenson, the latter caused a defensive foul.

Livingston made both free throws against interference.

Once again, the Warriors narrowed the gap to eight points.

Turning back to Brogdon's organization, he beckoned Davis to block and walk outside, then sent the ball to Davis.

Davis received the ball and cut in to dunk, and Pachulia let West help defend it.

At this moment, Davis glanced at his feet again!

This pause put Pachuria's defense in place and defended Davies' inevitable goal!

And he also took advantage of the situation to cut the ball out of Davis's hand, and Green turned around to get the ball.

The Warriors took advantage of the momentum to hit a counter-attack, and McCaw took Green's pass and chased down a three-pointer.

The difference has been narrowed to 5 points!

After failing to take advantage of two good chances in a row, Davis' state in the second quarter was a little worse than in the first quarter.

Stevens saw this and turned around and called Jokic up.

There was a dead ball on the court, and Jokic replaced Davis off the court.

"Well done, take a break."

Seeing Davis's expression a little annoyed, Stevens patted him on the arm and said in encouragement.

Davis has not played since then.

Jokic's scoring struggled a bit against high-intensity matchups, and while he was more playful on offense, the Warriors were playing well.

The scores of the two teams were deadlocked at this stage.

This quarter lasted more than four minutes, and the main forces of the two sides were replaced one after another.

It was at this point that the Warriors' style of play changed.

Curry no longer ran without the ball to find a chance to shoot, but began to attack more with the ball, and partly played with Pachulia to find Jokic's misalignment.

This style of play allowed him to find opportunities, scoring consecutive three-pointers and throw-ups.

From the small ball era to the beginning of the century, many players are difficult to adapt to for a while, and may even be eliminated outright.

But Curry proved that he was a supergiant, and the Warriors were his team before Durant came, and it was he who ushered in the league's small-ball era.

The two sides were evenly matched in the quarter, and at halftime, the Pelicans led the Warriors 56-51.

The 5-point lead is negligible, and although there are ups and downs along the way, the score on the field shows that the strength of the two teams is between the two teams.

The second half was the same as the first.

Relying on Tang Tian's steady output, the Pelicans re-established a double-digit lead at the end of the third quarter.

But Pachulia continued to defend Davis off the bench, and Davis was a little out of shape as he was at the start of the second quarter.

The Warriors, led by Green and Thompson, took the opportunity to close the score.

It was only then that Stevens remembered something.

Last season, Ariza was put on the back foot by Pachulia and was out for a full three months.

Davis, as a teammate, must have remembered that scene well, especially since he was sidelined for a long time after being stepped on by Green and suffering a knee injury.

People who have not been injured play fearlessly, but after being injured, there will be a shadow in their hearts, and they will unconsciously avoid injury.

That's why Davis's eyes always unconsciously glance down when he saw Pachulia defending him.

It was a small instinctive reaction, but it greatly affected his offensive finishing rate.

Kerr should have discovered this in the first quarter, so he let Pachulia defend Davis in the rest of the game.

The humiliation of being swept away with 73 wins last season put a lot of mental pressure on everyone on the Warriors, including Kerr.

This season, in order to win, he has also started to do whatever it takes.

And it did work, and the game was tied at 90 five minutes before the end.

After 43 minutes of play, the two sides were on the same starting line again.

Curry smashed the frame with his iconic logo three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, and Jokic's beautiful turn bypassed Green, but when he shot, his butter hand was missed.

Thompson's air-cut layup was covered by the basket under defensive pressure, and Holiday was on the edge of the basket with a three-pointer he was sure to make.

At this point in the game, it was obvious that the shooting percentages of both sides had fallen off a cliff due to the decline in fitness.

This is also a normal phenomenon, and high-intensity confrontations are very physically draining.

Not to mention the others, Tang Tian, Curry and Durant were all clearly panting as they ran on the court.

This is not the switchback run of the small-ball era, this is the hand-to-hand basketball of the beginning of the century.

The scoring efficiency of the two rounds in these few minutes was not high, and the two teams only scored a total of four points in just over three minutes.

But it's like a long-distance race, and the person who can sprint at the end of the run is a real strong player.

It's the same with basketball, the person who can throw the basketball into it at this time is the real superstar.

There are such people on both teams, Durant and Curry on one side, and Tang Tian on the other.

A minute before the end, Durant misplaced Davis's long arm and hit a mid-range shot to help the Warriors take a crucial two-point lead!

He doesn't have the stamina to do much shaking, and Davis' long arms cover the sky, but he can just throw the ball in!

45 seconds before the end, Tang Tian deceived Thompson with a fake fax shot, and suddenly went to the basket to confront Green and scored the ball to help the Pelicans tie the score!

When his physical energy is exhausted, he plays completely on the instinct of his body, but he can still score the ball!

With 30 seconds to go, Durant's outside three-pointer deflected off the basket.

10 seconds before the end, Tang Tian turned around and leaned back in the bag clip, quasi-killing the Warriors!

The Warriors took a timeout, the last offense of the game after returning from a timeout.

The Pelicans' defense was airtight, but before the final whistle, Durant threw the ball into the basket with one hand while facing Ariza in the air to help the Warriors tie the score!

After the regular season was played, the two teams were tied at 96 and entered overtime!

The fans were excited.

I didn't win, but I was more excited than winning!

Not because you can watch an overtime game for free, but because of the charm of basketball!

At the last moment, Tang Tian and Durant's key ball ability was like a fairy fight, and it was fascinating to watch.

Watching a game like this is better than watching it in the last few seasons!

This is real basketball!
