Williams frowned and nodded.

This round can be regarded as a defense.

However, Anderson's shot from outside the three-point line in the frontcourt still didn't go in, and the Pelicans still couldn't continue to score.

Williams turned around and called Tang Tian and Davis up and replaced them early.

When Brooks saw it, he also called Ibaka and Durant up.

Both sides didn't treat this as an ordinary regular season, but really fought like bayonets.

Jackson's breakaway resulted in a defensive foul on Anderson.

The game went into a dead ball, and the two sides exchanged players.

Tang Tian and Davis came on to replace Roberts and Morrow, and Ibaka and Durant replaced Collison and Butler.

Durant receives the ball in the frontcourt, and the person who guards him is Davis.

Williams implemented his tactical idea, which was not to let Tang Tian consume too much physical strength on the defensive end.

Durant broke through Davis head-on and hit a big loop layup under the basket.

However, the moment he made his shot was interfered with by Davis, and the ball slid out of the basket.

Procopio's original analysis was right, Davis is the big Durant, although the speed is a little inferior, but the reach makes up for it within a certain range.

He is very capable of defending against small things.

Davis grabbed a defensive rebound after defending it, and the Pelicans went straight to the fast break.

The Thunder were quick to defend, but the Pelicans were faster.

Davis went all the way down after completing the block, and he even followed!

Tang Tian received the ball from the right side, saw that Davis in the middle had followed, and threw the ball directly into the basket.

Davis took to the air, grabbed the ball in the air and smashed it straight down.

Jackson dodged under the basket.

"Bang!"

Davis scored a direct empty dunk!

"This is the future of the Pelicans!"

Smith exclaimed in the commentary box.

Tang Tian's offense and defense can also pass the ball, and Davis's ability to defend fast attack is also first-class, and the two are really infinitely compatible.

The Pelicans finally got on the score!

Durant continued to ask for the ball in the frontcourt, and this time he deliberately avoided Davis and then scored with a left-handed layup.

In addition to the confrontation to be strengthened, Durant is close to complete in other aspects, and it is impossible for Davis to really defend against him now.

Tang Tian singled Lamb in the front court, and the continuous body change shook Lamb back and pulled out his hand.

"Huh!"

In the face of his former college teammates, he showed no mercy and directly took the knife.

The Pelicans are 30-29!

After experiencing the substitute transition at the beginning of the second quarter, Tang Tian and Durant began to score again!

This year's scoring champion is really hard to win!

Durant played Davis again in the frontcourt, and it was still a big loop layup.

Whiteside wanted to block and was directly whistled for a defensive foul.

Whiteside is still a little immature.

And the big loop is second only to Harden's scoring weapon, and it is not so easy to prevent success.

Durant hit both free throws, and the Thunder took the lead again 31-30!

The scores on both sides alternately rose in this period, and the situation was extremely anxious.

Gordon's breakaway scored, turned back to Durant's frontcourt and then burst into Davis.

Davis is not inferior to him in height and reach, and speed is his biggest advantage.

However, Davis's physical talent is really strong, although the speed is inferior, but it is not very bad, and the interference pressure from behind is not small at this time.

Durant dodges a layup.

"Smack!"

At this moment, Whiteside slammed his hand and slapped him directly!

The front single defense can't be covered, but the two people help defend and still cover the ball!

Davis laughed and high-fived Whiteside.

He was still worried about whether Whiteside would be able to play in the NBA, but this was the latter's third block of the quarter!

Tang Tian was also very relieved at this time.

In last year's draft, the Pelicans drafted Knoll and would have had the opportunity to form a no-fly zone with Davis.

But the management then traded him for Holiday , and although Holiday was strong, it still made some fans regret.

Especially when Tang Tian became the boss of the team and the Pelicans were empty.

But Whiteside came out of nowhere, replacing Noll and Davis to form a new no-fly zone!

Durant was a little angry that he was actually taken off by a ten-day short-term job.

He received the ball and called for Adams' block, misplaced Whiteside, and went straight to the punch.

He shot in the big loop after the confrontation.

"Smack!"

Whiteside hit another big hat and flew the ball off the field!

Whiteside, gave Durant consecutive blocks!

“Holyshit！ Who the hell is he?! ”

Barkley was stunned in the commentary box.

4 blocks in one section, this Whiteside's blocking ability is too terrifying!

"I don't know who he is, but his cap is really good."

O'Neill nodded earnestly.

"He was a second-round pick in 2010, he hadn't played much before, he had just come back from playing overseas, and the interesting thing is that he had just finished playing in the NBL, a professional league in China."

Kenny Smith had already dug through the information by this time.

"Erlunxiu, China, why do I think he is so close to Tang? Will he be another Don? ”

Barkley continued.

"Who knows? But the Pelicans' interior line is really not very good, and he has this opportunity. ”

Smith nodded.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Durant made Whiteside's third personal foul.

There were 4 blocks in a quarter, but there were also 3 fouls, and his strengths and weaknesses were very obvious.

Fortunately, he still looks young.

Taking advantage of this dead ball time, the two sides continued to change players, and the main players were replaced one after another.

However, Whiteside was still kept on the court by Williams.

Although he has no offensive ability and has a lot of fouls, in Williams' eyes, he is already much better than several other interior players.

Durant hit both free throws, and the Thunder took a 33-32 lead again.

"Defend! Defend! ”

In the stalemate, the fans began to play the home fans, cheering in unison for the Thunder.

The Pelicans' frontcourt offense didn't get a chance.

After receiving the ball this time, Tang Tian beckoned Whiteside to the free throw line to block and dismantle.

Whiteside's pick-and-roll quality was mediocre, with Adams and Soflosa opting for a two-man pack.

Tang Tian took a step back with the ball, and then threw the ball directly into the basket.

Davis was struggling with Ibaka at this time, and the ball was thrown over......

Whiteside!

He had already run to the basket when he saw Tang Tian come out of the ball.

His pick-and-roll is not of high quality, but he is very flexible, and he has taken a big leap and jumped before the ball arrived.

A slam dunk after a right-handed grab in the air.

"Bang!"

When he fell, his left hand followed, and a powerful and heavy hand was caught in the air!

The ball slammed into the basket and there was a loud muffled sound through the megaphone.

Violent abuse box!

The scene was in an uproar.

First Davis, then Whiteside, the Pelicans directed two consecutive empty catches in this section by Tang Tian!

This is to take over the nickname of the Clippers' empty city!

"He's the answer to the Pelicans' No. 5 position!"

Barkley shouted.

The league began to gradually enter the era of small ball, and there were fewer and fewer good centers.

can block hats, grab boards, have good flexibility, and have the ability to eat cakes with one hand.

This is the most popular inside line in the small ball era!
