Chapter 813: Popovich's True Biography

In another office at the arena, the Pelicans are also holding a postgame press conference.

Tang Tian, Jokic and Stevens were in attendance.

Most of the questions asked by the reporter were some routine questions, and the three of them also answered fluently.

The theme of Tang Tian's press conference was to blow Jokic next to him.

What is the most organized big man in history, passing the ball ten times better than himself, and so on.

"How would you rate the performance of the opposing Mavericks, or do you think they will cause you problems for the rest of the series?"

A reporter asked Tang Tian a special question.

"Of course, they're getting better and better, the first one we had less than three quarters to finish, but this one they played with us until the last five minutes, and the next game was in Dallas, and it was going to be a tight battle."

Tang Tian still praised the performance of the Mavericks.

"What do you think of today's conflict?"

The reporter asked about Pachuria's stepping again.

"Obviously, the last ban didn't make Pachulia realize his mistake, and I think the league should do more to deal with this matter, otherwise the conflict may happen again, which will be a big loss to the image of the league."

Tang Tian directly put pressure on Xiao Hua in advance.

After the game between the Mavericks and Pelicans ended, the second game of the other three groups at the same time also ended.

The Cavaliers beat the Nets again 101-79.

The difference in strength between the two teams is obvious, and the Cavaliers played extremely easily in the first round.

The Heat narrowly beat the Hawks 93-91.

Whiteside continued to play well, chipped in 18 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks.

Wade scored 21 points, and he blocked Korver's killer shot to give the Heat a 2-0 lead.

The Spurs beat the Thunder 103-90.

After losing Game 1, Popovich quickly made adjustments and put Durant under unlimited defensive pressure.

This is also what Popovich used on Tang Tian at the beginning.

It turns out that the current Durant is indeed one notch behind Tang Tian, and he only scored 23 points on 10-of-26 shooting.

After this game, the score of the two teams became a 1-1 draw, and the outcome of the series is still full of unknowns.

After the first two games, the Pelicans and Mavericks moved to Dallas, where they will play the next two games.

Trailing 0-2 was unfavorable, and the Mavericks officially played a slogan to defend their home court.

Dallas fans are never short of enthusiasm, and this slogan keeps fans motivated.

Not only outside the American Airlines Center, but also on the surrounding streets, such signs can be seen everywhere.

As long as they hold on to these two home courts, the Mavericks still have hope of winning.

However, there was a bad news for the Mavericks before the game.

The league imposed a heavier penalty on Pachuria, which was a five-game ban and a $25,000 fine, despite an attempt.

In other words, even if the Pelicans and Mavericks tie-break in the series, Pachulia will not be able to play again.

The Mavericks protested, but the league dismissed it.

This signal is also obvious, Xiao Hua does not want those dirty ways of playing again.

The fans cheered for the league's decision, and they were also cheering for Tang Tian.

As Tang Tian's status in the alliance became higher and higher, he also began to gradually have influence and discourse.

The American Airlines Center arena was crowded that night, with team owner Cuban wearing his trademark blue T-shirt and flushing red in the front row.

The enthusiasm of the Dallas fans is truly unmatched, and the scene is even better than that of the New Orleans arena.

Although Pachulia was suspended, the Mavericks showed up on the scene with a fighting spirit.

It's not appropriate for them not to be excited at home such a home!

After the opening ceremony, the third game of the series between the two teams also began shortly after.

After the two games, the two sides have basically understood each other.

Carlisle and Stevens also made no changes to the lineup.

Embiid jumped for the Mavericks, and Butler came up and hit a jumper from Deron's pass.

The cheers continued.

Just like Tang Tian said at the press conference, the Mavericks are even more imposing when they return to their home court, which is destined to be a fierce battle.

That's what the fans in the stadium thought, and so did the fans in front of the TV.

Even the TNT Triumvirate, including the commentary seats, thinks so.

But soon, everyone realizes that the game is completely different from what they imagined.

The Pelicans were obviously prepared, and they raised the quality of defense very high at the beginning, and even Tang Tian also devoted himself to defense.

Then, constantly play defensive counterattacks.

This approach completely exposed the weak defensive characteristics of the Mavericks.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks were beaten by the Pelicans without changing hands, falling behind 16-36 in the first quarter.

When there was a pause in the intersection, the on-site photographer gave Stevens a shot.

Stevens still turned his head to look at Tang Tian.

This is another trick given to him by Tang Tian.

The Mavericks failed to organize the same counterattack as they did in the previous game.

They eventually lost 78-102 at home to the Pelicans, and they were already down 3-0 in the big score.

Never before in NBA history has a team come back from 3-0 down.

That said, the Mavericks' season journey is over.

It was only then that the fans remembered what Tang Tian said in the second post-match press conference.

This guy is a big fool!

He also said that the Mavericks are getting better and better, and when it comes to the away game, it will become very intense, and the battle ends in one quarter.

Poisoned milk! It's all poisoned milk!

It was at this time that some fans realized that Tang Tian was a disciple trained by Popovich.

This operation is the true transmission of Popovich.

The fourth was played two days later.

Stevens pulled Tang Tian to talk about the tactics of the fourth game.

He thought he had a thorough understanding of tactics, but after these two games, he found that he was a little far behind Tang Tian.

It sounds unbelievable that a manager is inferior to a player, but that's the way it is.

However, he was not jealous, but slowly chatted with Tang Tian with a learning attitude.

There is no end to learning, not to mention that he is the youngest type of coach himself.

"The last game is going to be intense, the Mavericks are going to do everything they can to win the game, and we're even going to have to go back to New Orleans for Game 5."

Tang Tian said very seriously.

Tactics or something, the two sides have fought three games, and everything that can be used has been used.

The Pelicans won Game 3 with a surprising victory, but the Mavericks themselves didn't play well as a big reason.

In the last game, if you don't win, you will be eliminated, and the Mavericks will definitely fight.

"Psychology and detail."

Stevens was indeed a coach and then spoke of the key points of Game 4.

Being ready to play tough games and getting every detail of the game right is the key point for the Pelicans to end the series.
