Chapter 700: Tactics Work (Third Update!) )
The live camera was given to Cole, who sat firmly on Mount Tai and did not have much emotional change.
The Warriors' offense, Curry's outside three-pointer continued the series' excellent touch, and went straight into the net.
No matter how aggressive the Pelicans' defense is, it will be difficult to completely limit the Warriors' offense.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and after Tang Tian and Davis were both in position, he gave the ball to Tang Tian this time.
This is Davis beating Tang Tian after fighting!
Tang Tian's defensive intensity is not at the same level as Davis, and Green directly enveloped him.
Tang Tian's reaction was also fast, and when he saw Green coming, he directly put the ball into the basket.
Davis and Tang Tian have played together for two seasons, and he has already moved to the inside before seeing Tang Tian throw the ball.
Tang Tian's ball was thrown, and he also jumped up.
When the ball arrived, he held the ball with his right hand and smashed it directly into the basket.
From the air tie between Tang Tian and Davis.
There were cheers at the scene.
The Pelicans opened with two rounds in a row!
And the Warriors don't seem to have much to do with the Pelicans' new move!
Curry's breakout layup was deflected off the basket by Davis, and Jokic defended the defensive rebound.
Holiday was not in a hurry after getting the ball, dribbling the ball to the front court, and then passing the ball to Jokic.
Jokic continued to give the ball to Tang.
The Warriors have communication on the defensive end, and this time it's Bogut who is shrinking inside.
Tang Tian didn't wait for Bogut to come over, and turned around and leaned back directly to the bottom line.
The Warriors' defense is fast, and Tang Tian's offense is also fast.
It's a direct confrontation at the highest level.
"Bang dang!"
However, he couldn't hit the ball, and Thompson's defensive interference was well done.
Bogut just turned around to protect the defensive rebound.
The Warriors are fast-attacking across the board and going straight to their best tempo.
But their offensive and defensive transition this time failed to fight.
Curry and Thompson were already defended by Holiday and Ariza when they hit the frontcourt.
In fact, when Tang Tian shot, Jokic, Holiday and Ariza had already taken the lead in retreating, and only Davis was rushing to the frontcourt to rebound.
Although the rebound in the frontcourt did not rush, the Pelicans' retreat was completed as soon as possible.
That's the details, and the Pelicans handle it perfectly.
"They've found a way!"
Barkley in the commentary seat couldn't help but exclaim.
Williams was questioned a lot after the last game, but the adjustment in this game was impressive.
The Warriors' offensive and defensive transitions didn't start, so they had to play the position again.
This time they used an infinite air cut, and Thompson misplaced Jokic's three-point shot.
"Huh!"
He hit his second three-point shot.
After spending so much time in the hard brother training camp, his three-point shooting consistency is already among the best in the league.
Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and he continued to feed the ball to Davis.
This is Tang Tian finished, Davis played!
Davis turned to the baseline and then turned around and used his body pressure to score on Green's close-range shot.
Davis has made two consecutive singles against Green, and he looks good tonight.
6-6, the two teams played two minutes at the beginning of the game, and the game was evenly matched.
The Pelicans' tactics worked!
Barnes missed a three-point shot in the bottom corner, the Pelicans pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt, and Tang Tian gave the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc this time, and Jokic scored three points through the heart.
Barnes' breakthrough layup didn't go in, the Pelicans went to the frontcourt, Davis couldn't score, but Tang Tian shook off Thompson and jumped to make a basket to score.
11-6, for the first time in the series, the Pelicans had the upper hand on the court!
The cheers at the scene were endless, and the fans were excited like never before.
It felt like coming to a high mountain, and after climbing hard, I finally climbed it with one foot!
Cole finally couldn't sit still and got up and called Iguodala up.
He didn't need to pretend to be a five-little starter, but it seemed that his pretense had failed, and he thought he was slapped in the face.
Curry's breakaway layup caused Jokic to hit the basket and he got two free throws.
He hit his first free throw, and Iguodala came on to replace Bogut, and the Warriors once again showed a five-man lineup.
Curry also made a second free throw, and the difference between the two sides was still three points.
Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc, saw that it was Barnes who was defending him, and directly held the ball and broke inside.
Barnes was originally playing the No. 3 position, swinging to play the No. 4 position in the five-man lineup, and facing the standard No. 5 Jokic, the size difference was doubled.
Jokic hit him so strongly, he could only try to steal, but Jokic was very steady, he failed to steal, Jokic pressed him directly to the inside, and scored with a one-handed split.
He looks white and soft, but it's really hard to fight!
The Warriors cut in the front court, and Curry gave Green a good pass, who scored on an empty layup.
With the Splash Brothers holding back on the outside, the Pelicans' defense did not dare to shrink, and the one-on-one misalignment Jokic's weaknesses were relatively exposed.
However, this did not have much of an impact on the Pelicans' morale, which is to be expected.
They who were beaten in the first two games can't suddenly beat the Warriors in a few days.
Jokic went to the top of the arc to continue holding the ball.
The Warriors' defense has adjusted, and Green is up to Jokic, and his defense of the five as a short No. 4 is not a problem at all.
But Jokic didn't play, and he hoisted the ball to Davis.
Davis hit Barnes again into a misalignment, Iguodala contracted on the weak side, and Davis directly distributed the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner.
Ariza catches the ball and makes a three-point shot.
"Bang dang!"
Ariza missed a three-pointer.
However, Davis miraculously grabbed an offensive rebound with a long arm under the basket, and the resurgence caused Barnes to draw a foul and get two free throws.
The Warriors' five-man offense can still have an advantage in the positional battle with the Pelicans, even if they don't play offensive and defensive transitions.
But on the defensive end, they only have one Green, and the Pelicans have both Jokic and Davis, and Green goes out, and the protection under the basket is obviously not enough.
Davis hit one of two free throws as the Pelicans continued their three-point lead at 14-11.
This also became a microcosm of the whole game between the two sides.
Whether Kerr uses a regular lineup or a five-year-old, there is not much to do with the Pelicans' new formation.
"Their number three position needs to be strengthened."
Smith in the commentary bench had a burning eye and saw the shortcomings of the Warriors' lineup at a glance.
Barnes lacks height and defensive ability, and as a No. 4 position, both low post defense and rebounding protection are weaknesses.
However, fortunately, the Warriors' offense was on the line, and the scores of both sides did not exceed double digits throughout the game.
In the stalemate, the two sides played until the last three minutes, and the score on the field was 106 draws.
The Pelicans' tactics proved to be completely effective after a full game.
They have gone from being completely beaten in the previous two games to now meeting the pre-game expectations of the coaching staff, and they have the opportunity to play the decisive moment with the Warriors.
