Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Whiteside jumped to win over Gasol Jr., officially opening the curtain on the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Tang Tian was caught in the front court with the ball.

He fed the ball to Ariza on the weak side, who made a quick three-point shot.

The ball's trajectory was upright, but it bounced out after it hit the basket.

Gasol Jr. defends the defensive rebound.

Joggle stood on the sidelines and clenched his fists to himself.

His purpose in removing Allen as a starter with Green is clear, that is, to transplant the winning experience of the last game and carry out the bag to the end.

Ariza didn't shoot in the opening game, which shows that the Grizzlies' tactics worked!

Gasol Jr. received the ball at the free throw line and turned to squeeze under the basket, and scored on the board after turning.

The Grizzlies went first.

After winning the fourth game to equalise, they also look in good form.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian continued to be wrapped with the ball, this time he didn't pass the ball, but an accelerated step past Lee.

After being pasted by Green, who assisted in the defense, he then turned and leaned back directly to the baseline.

Green is a swing man on the front line, and his speed is a bit different from Tang Tian.

Tang Tian made a move and leaned back, and there was space.

"Huh!"

The basketball fell into the pocket steadily, and Tang Tian also scored for the Pelicans.

This is the value of the back, Tang Tian can also choose to attack by himself in the face of the bag.

Randolph played a single with his back to Whiteside in front of him, turned and threw a shot backwards.

The ball went over Whiteside's fingertips and into the net pocket.

"You can't stop me, I said, you can't stop me!"

Randolph shouted at Whiteside.

It's going to be a repeat of the same trick as in the previous game.

Whiteside's brow furrowed, but he quickly stretched out again.

He's not very brainy, but he's not brain-dead either, Randolph can work once, it's the third time, and he won't be fooled again.

On the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian turned around in the middle of the bag to take away all the defensive attention, and then gave the ball to Ariza on the weak side.

Ariza's three-pointer strikes again.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes through the net.

Just like Tang Tian thought, the Pelicans can't always shoot from the outside.

And Ariza was just unlucky with the first shot, and the feeling of shooting was completely different from playing.

The audience burst into cheers.

The Pelicans' ability to shoot three-pointers from the outside is huge.

'It was a good game for both sides.

Smith spoke in the commentary box.

In the three games of the two teams, except for the first game, both sides did not score more than 100, the defensive intensity was high, and the scoring efficiency was also low.

But this one only played for more than a minute and added up to 9 points.

The defensive intensity on the pitch has not changed, which shows that both sides are in good shape.

"You may not believe it, but this is the first time that two teams have played in this way."

Smith didn't forget to add.

Barkley and O'Neill thought about it and nodded in agreement.

In the first game, the Pelicans were in a burst of state, in the second game Whiteside foul crisis, in the third game Whiteside was ejected, and in the fourth game the Pelicans were collectively lost on the outside.

The Grizzlies on the opposite side played very steadily, but the Pelicans really showed the characteristics of the young team to the fullest, with ups and downs, like a roller coaster.

Counting, this is really the state of both sides online, like two armies facing each other, and the first time they started fighting.

Randolph attacked again under the basket, and this time Whiteside showed toughness and directly gave Randolph a frontal hat.

Although the experience is still very young, the Pelicans twin towers are not weak on the defensive end.

Ariza pounces for the rebound.

Tang Tian went to the front court to ask for the ball with his back to the high position, and turned to the bottom line after receiving the ball.

Seeing Randolph come out, he forced Randolph back with a through ball feint to the inside, and then turned and leaned back.

Lee's single defense ability is much worse than Aaron's, and it is too late to pounce this time.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian leaned back, and went in again!

There was a burst of whistles at the scene.

Although the margin on the court was not much, the Pelicans finally gave them the feeling they had in the regular season tonight.

Attack, defend!

Green played Ariza with the ball in front of him, turning back and not going in.

Whiteside jammed Randolph to protect the defensive rebound.

In the frontcourt, Tang Tian ran a no-ball to contain the defense, and Davis received a pass from Holiday for a layup.

Gasol Jr. couldn't keep up with his pace and could only watch Davis score.

9 to 4!

Although the point difference is still not large, everyone on the scene can clearly feel that the Grizzlies are not the opponent of the Pelicans!

And that's a natural thing.

After all, the Pelicans' 60-win record in the regular season is there, and they have won a full 10 more games than the Grizzlies!

O'Neill was already happy in the commentary seat at this time.

Before the game was over, he had already beaten Barkley again.

Barkley shrugged off O'Neal's laugh.

The game has just begun, and the Grizzlies are known for their ability to carry it, so this is where it goes.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Grizzlies by 10 points, 28-18.

The point difference is not too big.

Back in the second quarter, both sides were the main players with benches, with Davis leading the team on the Pelicans' side and Conley leading the team on the Grizzlies' side.

Carter's layup was distracted by Biyombo, who took advantage of the rebound.

Davis got to the low post in the front court and started to get position.

Dinwiddie put the ball in, Davis turned and hit Kouvers with his back, and one turned to the basket for a layup.

Gasol Jr. in front of him can't fight like this, but it is still very advantageous to play a slow-moving Couphors.

Conley's throw-up up front was interfered with by Davis.

Biyombo got stuck in the basket and added another defensive rebound.

Davis played again, and the Grizzlies wrapped him inside, and he didn't score a three-pointer for Gordon from the outside.

Conley counter-attacked and was fouled by Dinwiddie early.

Williams asked McGee to replace Biyombo.

Conley's breakaway shot in the frontcourt missed, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

When it came to the frontcourt, Davis and Dinwiddie blocked and dismantled, and after Davis received the ball and was defended by Kouvers, he threw the ball directly to the basket and made an inside pass.

McGee is no Biyombo and jumps high to get the ball straight into the basket.

"Bang!"

He successfully received the air and also made a defensive foul on Green, who assisted the defense!

The cheers continued.

McGee reached out his right hand and made his trademark one-handed "strong" celebration.

Barkley was no longer speaking in the commentary box.

The Grizzlies couldn't play this game two times, when they started and when they came off the bench.

The Pelicans played surprisingly steadily in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and they have been pressing the Grizzlies from the beginning.

They eventually defeated the Grizzlies 100-80 to make the series 3-2.

Tang Tian had 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Davis 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Ariza 13 points, Holiday 11 points and 5 assists, and Gordon 16 points and 3 assists.

O'Neal laughed at a bitter-looking Barkley for a long time after the game.

That's what it tastes like to be a winner.
