Chapter 841: The Pelicans' True Strength

It looks like Davis has recovered from injury and will play in Game 2 of the Finals.

After the training, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, and they also indirectly confirmed this in the interview.

"Does losing the opening game affect the rest of the game? Or will it make any adjustments to the team? ”

"No, it won't, I know people out there are talking about what happens if the Cavaliers win the opener, but they ignore that AD didn't play."

Tang Tian replied with a relaxed expression.

Davis' absence has an obvious impact on the Pelicans.

Tang Tian hasn't redeemed the legend yet, his current physical fitness, the role of the defensive end will be weakened after attacking with all his strength, and he will need others to support the defensive system.

Having Holiday and Ariza on the outside isn't a problem, but the absence of Davis on the inside is a big problem.

That's why the Warriors trailed by 30 points in Game 4 and lost the Finals opener.

Almost all eyes from the outside world focused on Tang Tian, but naturally ignored what the Pelicans lacked was the second leader of the team.

If it's a normal game, other role players can step up and make up for it, but it's the Finals, a game between the best teams in the East and West.

"Do you mean Davis will be back in the next game?"

The reporter asked.

"Yes, he's fully recovered."

Tang Tian gave a clear reply to reporters, he has no need to put smoke bombs, as long as Davis plays, the Pelicans have an advantage in playing anyone now.

After this interview was reported, it was a shot in the arm for Pelican fans.

Although they are not experts, they can also see the disadvantage of the team's interior after Davis.

Davis has a lower body injury, and as long as this injury is recovered, there is no such thing as affecting the state.

A healthy Davis' improvement on the interior is obvious, and the Cavaliers certainly can't afford to turn over the Pelicans inside like they did in Game 1.

At that time, it was only natural for the Pelicans to win the game.

For a while, Pelican fans, who had been demoralized by the Pelicans' loss of the opening game, were reactivated on social media.

Even the media and experts have re-analyzed the situation in the second game of the finals.

The full Pelicans have a better chance, Davis helps the Pelicans a lot, and the words that the Pelicans will win a second home court are starting to reappear.

The Pelicans are back on the lookout.

Even the spinach website has made adjustments in the odds, and the Pelicans have lower odds than the Cavaliers.

"We don't care, three days ago everybody thought we were going to lose, but we won and now they think we're going to lose, they don't care if what they write is correct, and I don't care what they say."

James' attitude in front of reporters was clear.

They have already won a game that is not favored, so they will not be influenced by outside perception.

There was no war of words in the Western Finals, but James's remarks made the second Finals even more attention-grabbing.

He's right, and once the Cavaliers win Game 2, the chances of winning two consecutive away games will skyrocket.

On June 5, U.S. time, the second game of the NBA Finals continued to kick off at the New Orleans Arena.

This match attracted even more attention than the opening game.

According to the official data released by the league before, the opening game hit a new high in global viewership in the past five years.

And this statistic was broken before the start of the game.

It is obvious that with the existence of China as a large viewing area, the ratings of this game are only high, not low.

Because domestic fans are looking forward to the Pelicans coming back tonight.

At the opening ceremony, the cheers of the fans were even louder than in the first game.

Especially Davis, who was the first to appear, and Tang Tian, who was the last to appear, the decibels on the scene were like a tsunami.

They are also desperate to see the Pelicans win the game.

The game started immediately, and players from both sides appeared one after another.

Before James came on the Cavaliers' side, he grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw it into the air as usual.

When Tang Tian saw this scene, a thought suddenly flashed coldly in his mind.

James is reluctant to even use the flow, but he doesn't feel distressed at all when he throws up the magnesium powder, is it because it's not his own?

James felt that someone was looking at him, and when he turned around and saw that it was Tang Tian, a flash of battle intent flashed in his eyes.

In the past, Tang Tian snatched two championships from him, and Tang Tian was just a role player at that time.

Now Tang Tian has become a superstar, and he is also touted by the media as the next Jordan!

He's going to break the media's illusion now, there's only one spokesperson for this league, and that's him, Jeffes!

Both teams started the same game as they did in the previous game, with the only change being the return of Davis.

Davis jumped to beat Mozgov to kick off Game 2 of the finals.

Tang Tian and Davis played blocking and dismantling in the frontcourt, and Davis looked in good shape and completely blocked Smith.

Tang Tian faced Lefu's change of direction and stopped suddenly.

The Warriors' defensive hole is Curry, while the Cavaliers are very happy.

Lu didn't care, just signaled the team to attack quickly, he knew the advantage of the Cavaliers, what he wanted was for the team to play the advantage point.

Love and Smith stand in the two corners.

Irving motioned for Mozgov to pull to the right high post to block the pick-and-roll, and after the pick-and-roll, he broke through Jokic to force the basket.

He was fast, jumped and completely shook off Jokic.

But just as he was about to make a move, a hand came out of the diagonal side to seal his angle.

Davis!

Davis' defensive ability and coverage are far superior to Amino's.

Owen pulled the lever in the air, but Davis followed with his other hand, and directly flew his shot fan out of the field!

The scene was thunderous with cheers.

The boost Davis brings to the Pelicans is obvious!

The Cavaliers sent a sideline ball, and James held the ball to call Mozgov's block, and continued to rush Jokic to the basket.

After seeing Davis come back to help, he passed the ball to the bottom corner.

The Cavaliers' tactics have not changed from the previous game, and they are still attacking the Pelicans' interior.

Because Love has three points, they can stretch up a lot of space on the offensive end.

In other words, even if Davis' defensive coverage is large and he can't go back if he shrinks, Love will get his chance.

Lefu received a pass from James, but he didn't make a move, because Tang Tian switched defenses in front of him.

Without Davis, the Pelicans can't do a good job of protecting the basket, but with Davis, after forcing the ball from the inside back to the outside, they are not afraid.

Because the Pelicans have already built an excellent defensive rotation system this season.

There wasn't much time left for Lefu to catch the ball, and he had to shoot.

As a result, under Tang Tian's interference, he directly voted for a three-no-stick!

The whistle was incessant.

The Pelicans are like two teams from the last game!

"That's what the Pelicans are really capable of."

O'Neill said with a laugh in the commentary seat.

Without Davis, the Pelicans can only let the Cavaliers turn the river and the sea on the inside, but if they hold the interior, the Pelicans no longer have weaknesses!
