Chapter 524: You're Longer Than His Hand! (Fourth Update!) )
After the game, Davis spoke to the media on the sidelines.
When he finished the interview, Tang Tian walked up to him and reached out to touch his head.
It was Davis' first game of the playoffs, and he played so well that he definitely deserved his encouragement.
But what he didn't expect was that Davis hiding!
Davis actually hiding!
He was stunned for a moment, Davis had never avoided him before.
"Eric told me that I don't want to be the next Ginobili."
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Davis said with a serious expression.
“……”
Tang Tian turned his head and glanced at Gordon resentfully, this guy is not good!
After the game between the Pelicans and the Clippers, fans on social media were also buzzing.
"Don and Davis combined for 58 points to lead the team to victory! ESPN brick home deserves its name! ”
“58…… Brother, you can always see things that others can't see, you are pure cannon black! ”
"Paul: Shall we skip this topic?"
"I can't get by! Won by the Nuggets by 58 points at the Hornets and 58 by the Spurs at the Clippers, do you think it's okay?! ”
"I can't get by......"
"The Pelicans' performance tonight was really impressive, and Williams' coaching ability was significantly underrated, and now I don't think they don't have a chance."
"Yes, Don also proved that he can still play the core in the playoffs, and this is the first year of his Pelican career, which is scary bro!"
"Isn't that normal? Have you forgotten Don's nickname? Godfather! When he was at the Spurs, he was known for his big heart and golf quotient! ”
"A male lion, from the East, I think Lion is a more appropriate nickname for Don, like the lion cub on his Twitter!"
"China is the lion that is waking up gradually, brother, I like the nickname you said!"
"Me too, it's so apt!"
……
After getting home-court advantage from the Clippers, the Pelicans are also favored.
You must know that the Pelicans won this game, without relying on the help of the referee or relying on the touch of explosives, they defeated the Clippers head-on.
This is a big plus.
The next game between the two teams will resume in two days, again at the Staples Center.
However, as last year, because both teams in Los Angeles made the playoffs, the stadium staff was busy.
They had to change to the Lakers' floor the next day, and sometimes sharing a common arena wasn't necessarily a good thing.
The Lakers and Warriors game kicks off the night of the second night at Staples Center.
The Warriors played better than the first game, but ultimately lost 92-106.
0-2, after two consecutive losses, the Warriors' road to qualification has become extremely difficult.
After the game, Warriors fans also began to be dissatisfied.
You must know that the Warriors are fifth and the Lakers are fourth, and the two teams are only 2 wins away from each other.
They don't lose on paper, and it's really unacceptable to play like this.
And more importantly, if you lose, you lose, the scene is still ugly, and the team's offensive constipation feels terrible to watch.
The team's head coach, Mark Jackson, has attracted a lot of skepticism.
The Clippers and Pelicans game will be played the next day, and both teams are actively preparing for Game 2.
'We haven't lost, we didn't start well in the last game, if it wasn't too much behind in the first half, we won in the end, so in the second game we had a chance, and it was much bigger than the other side.'
In the closed training session before the game, Rivers was pouring chicken soup on their players again.
He's always used it to inspire the team and always found a good entry point.
"Blake, Anthony [Davis] is the weakness, you have to play more resolute and you are the key to the team's victory."
After pouring the whole team's chicken soup, Rivers pulled Griffin to preach again.
Griffin only scored 20 points in the last game, which was clearly not enough.
Griffin nodded vigorously, and losing the first game also made him hold back a lot of ruthlessness.
After Rivers finished speaking, Tyronn Lue pulled the team to make tactical arrangements.
They're going to change their tactics.
……
That night, Game 2 between the Pelicans and Clippers continued at the Staples Center.
The Pelicans made changes to their starting lineup, with Whiteside and Morrow, who played well last game, going straight into the starting lineup.
Whiteside's blocking and rim-attacking ability, Moreau's spatial ability, this is the best lineup to play the Clippers.
Williams really knows how to be flexible.
However, the situation after the start of the game was a big surprise.
The Clippers completely changed their style of play this time, and Paul, Griffin, and even Crawford and Collison who came off the bench kept attacking the basket.
Whiteside and Davis have the ability to block, but the experience is really bad.
Whiteside, in particular, has improved in his ability to control fouls, but is still a little bit close.
With 2 fouls in one quarter and 4 fouls in the third quarter, his playing time was cut very piecemeal and his performance was not good.
Davis's performance was also much worse than in the first game, and the defensive end brought a poor feeling on the offensive end.
And in the third quarter, he was directly blocked by Griffin.
Griffin had a push in the air with his left hand, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.
Once the ball was in the air, the entire Staples Center was set on fire.
The Clippers came out on momentum and eventually defeated the Pelicans 100-85 to make the series 1-1.
Griffin exploded with 35 points and 15 rebounds, and Paul also scored 23 points and 11 assists.
On the Pelicans' side, Tang Tian scored 33 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks to no avail;
Davis only scored 13 points and 9 rebounds in this game, with big ups and downs;
Whiteside's first start was also dismal, with only 4 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and 6 fouls in the fourth quarter.
He really can't start right now, especially in the playoffs.
After the game, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans.
Although it was a bit of a shame to lose the second game, it was already a very good result to be able to return to his home stadium with a score of 1-1.
The Pelicans are preparing for Game 3.
Davis's mood is not very high.
It's also a reasonable thing, the first game scored 30 points, the second game only 13 points, half the score is less, it's good not to be autistic.
The young players have a lot of ups and downs, and Tang Tian is not so surprised by Davis's performance, but seeing his emotions, he knows that he needs some enlightenment.
"What's wrong? Look at your mood has not been high. ”
After the training, Tang Tian sat on the sidelines and asked Davis.
"Griffin, he's too strong."
Davis was really cute and said it directly.
Griffin's first game stats weren't as good as Davis's, but the stats, especially in one game, weren't directly proportional to the strength.
Griffin is in the fourth grade, he is already very mature, and his strength is definitely much stronger than the current Davis.
In the first game, Davis didn't feel so strong, but in the second game, he couldn't prevent it and was completely suppressed, and there was that dunk.
"No, you have an advantage over him."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Davis looked at Tang Tian suspiciously, he didn't understand whether Tang Tian was encouraging him or deliberately teasing him.
"You're longer than his hand."
Tang Tian said with a serious face.
