Chapter 704: Breaking the Curse of the Third Section (Third Update!) )

After the opening ceremony, the starting line-ups of both teams were released one after another.

After the first two games, Kerr finally learned to be good, replacing Bogut with Iguodala and directly using five small starters.

The Pelicans still have a regular lineup, and what they need is still to get the details right.

Davis jumped over Green to kick off Game 5 of the series.

The Pelicans' tactics were the same as in the first two games, with Jokic holding the ball at the top of the arc and giving the ball to Davis in the low post.

Davis backs Green and turns to the baseline.

Green's defense of the ball is very good, and there are some small actions that the referee can't see.

Davis was interfered with and couldn't get the ball in.

Green turned around to protect the defensive rebound.

The Warriors countered and fell into position, and Curry ran out without the ball to catch Green's pass and hit a three-point shot.

The last game of Thompson was full of light, and this game is to see Curry day by day.

Holiday got the ball to the frontcourt, and the Warriors' defensive formation didn't change.

Jokic glanced at Barnes in front of him and rushed in with the ball.

Just as he burst into the box, the Warriors had a small defensive change.

Green came over to help defend the clip directly.

Jokic passed the ball to Davis, and Green pushed back again.

This defensive adjustment brings out the full play of Green's movement speed.

Davis crosses inside to get the ball back to Jokic, and Green wraps it up.

Jokic didn't complete the muscle gain, the confrontation was still poor, and the turning basket failed to put in.

Barnes grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Pelicans opened the game without scoring in two consecutive waves of offense.

The Warriors seized Jokic's opportunity to get inside and directly counterattacked defensively.

Curry received a pass from Thompson in the front court and scored a rebound on the lever, and also caused Holiday to draw a foul.

By the time he hit a free throw, the Warriors led 6-0.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The Warriors got off to a great start!

"Kerr finally realized that his five-man lineup is the trump card, and let go of his inner stubbornness, and the Warriors can win easily."

Barkley was smug in commenting on Xi Chunfeng.

He seemed to be able to see O'Neal's pro-Smith ass scene.

Williams also stood on the sidelines from the bench at this time, he is not a tactical coach, and at this time he can only pray and expect the Pelicans to score the next wave of offense.

Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and this time he gave the ball to Tang Tian.

Barnes shrank in, and Tang Tian directly turned around and turned to the bottom line.

Thompson had anticipated it and swooped down on the side of the ball.

However, Tang Tian shook a shot, turned around and shot under the basket.

Barnes came in at this time, and Tang Tian took advantage of the situation to lean back and shoot.

It's a tough ball.

"Huh!"

However, Tang Tian still sent the ball into the basket steadily.

Williams reached out and clenched his fist on the sidelines.

The critical moment still depends on Tang Tian.

The Warriors' frontcourt positional battle was not completed, Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc and then gave the ball to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian was caught when he received the ball.

He directly pulled out the frame in advance.

The choice of this ball was very unexpected, and Thompson confiscated his hand and hit Tang Tian's arm and was whistled for a foul.

Tang Tian's shot rolled into the basket after a few laps on the basket.

It's a 2+1 ball.

The Pelicans' bench boiled.

It was 6-0 at the beginning, but Tang Tian scored two waves of attacks in a row, and he chased the score back alone.

"Don's not being elected MVP is the last thing he shouldn't do this season, and he can change the game on his own!"

This time it was O'Neill's turn to laugh.

The last time Barkley didn't really kiss Smith's ass, it was his regret and the regret of all fans.

Now I finally have the opportunity to make up for my regrets!

Curry continued to show great touch, flying from the outside to the iconic three-point line.

However, in the next round, Tang Tianbao scored Jokic, and the latter's three-point shot at the top of the arc also scored.

Davis's hand tonight is average, but Jokic's hand is good, coupled with Tang Tian's hot state.

At halftime, the Pelicans tied the score with the Warriors at 53-55.

O'Neill and Ross Barkley played the entire half in the commentary box.

The worst was Smith, who couldn't really feel enough to watch Barkley and O'Neal fight over their butts after the protests were ineffective.

However, a half-time draw is the norm after the Pelicans adjust their tactics, and who wins and loses in the end of the game is still to see the third quarter.

In this series, the Warriors' win over the Pelicans was basically the third quarter to seal the win.

Coming back from halftime, the Warriors attacked first.

Curry came up and shot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he couldn't hit it.

Davis defends the defensive rebound.

When he arrived at the front court, Tang Tian was caught before he could catch the ball.

Tang Tian scored 25 points in the first half and was in very good shape, and the Warriors made targeted defensive arrangements for him in the half.

Jokic didn't force the basket, and in the first half, he didn't score the basket and was directly hit by the Warriors into a counterattack.

He hoisted the ball to Davis, who received the ball and turned back to the baseline.

Green is still very good defensively, and there are small hidden moves.

"Huh!"

But with a crisp sound, the basketball hollowed into the net.

Curry cut to the basket in the air, and after receiving the ball, he passed to Thompson for a layup and scored.

He made one shot and knew he didn't feel good, so he changed his way to help the team.

The Pelicans went to the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to give the ball to Davis.

Davis scrambled this time around, turned to the basket and scored the ball against Green.

Consecutive singles hits!

Davis's touch, it looks like it's been recovered!

The Pelicans retreated, and Tang Tian and Ariza communicated.

Curry held the ball in the frontcourt, and when he looked up, he saw that his defender had become Tang Tian.

If the Warriors are a car, Thompson is the gas tank, and Green is the engine, then Curry is the one who drives.

The Pelicans have lost in the third quarter in the past few games, and Tang Tian didn't care about the distribution of physical strength at this time, so he came directly to pinch the person who drove the car.

Curry gave the ball to Green and then made back-to-back runs around the pick-and-roll.

Tang Tian seemed to have returned to the Spurs period at this time, turning back into the super defender who made the opponent unable to get rid of.

Curry didn't have a chance to catch the ball, and Barnes' final driving layup was also blocked by Davis.

As Barkley said before in the commentary box, the Warriors are strong enough, but they are still one step away from being perfect with a stronger forward than Barnes.

The Pelicans pressed to the front court and continued to play, and the ball was given to Davis, who turned around and played again.

Green's foul was a bit big this time, but Davis still put the ball in the basket after the confrontation!

After he fell to the ground, he was pulled up by Tang Tian, and after getting up, he yelled excitedly.

In the first half, Tang Tian carried the team by himself, and in the second half, it was time for him to stand up!

Tang Tian restrained Curry on the defensive end, and Davis felt to find back-to-back scoring.

On their home court, the Warriors' iconic third quarter failed for the first time, but it was the Pelicans, a little bit of grinding.

By the halfway point of the quarter, they had a double-digit lead over the Warriors at 71-61!

The third curse has been broken!
