Chapter 749: If You Can't Beat It, You'll Kick the Egg (First Update!) )
Curry continued his wild performance in the third quarter of the season, hitting five three-pointers in the first quarter and scoring 19 points.
However, Tang Tian's inside and outside shots also scored 20 points in a single quarter.
The two staged an MVP-level matchup, and the two teams also played tied, and it was the Pelicans who had the advantage in the end.
The Warriors scored six straight points at the start of the second half to close the deficit to single digits, but at the end of the third quarter, the score was 92-81.
The Pelicans still lead by as many as 11 points.
The Warriors' crazy third quarter of the season didn't help them turn the tide this time.
When the situation was unfavorable, Kerr made a change of tactics, and he replaced Thompson at the beginning of the fourth quarter in an attempt to recover the difference in this period.
Stevens was also quick to react and also put Holiday on the court and let him keep an eye on Thompson.
The players on both sides played fiercely on the field, and the coaches of the two teams also fought against each other off the field.
This time, though, it was the Warriors who had the upper hand.
Thompson has played in the league for four years, and his strength has improved a lot, and with the bonus of hard training brothers' training camp, he is now better than the average All-Star player.
Especially his projection, although the ability to shine the light of the Buddha is not commonly used, it can always be played at critical moments.
In just three or four minutes, he made three three-pointers against Holiday defense, instantly chasing the difference to less than 5 points.
Stevens called a timeout.
"Don, you go to defend Thompson, AD, you come to the main attack."
Stevens was quick to make adjustments.
Coming back from the timeout, both Kerr and Stevens made all their starters.
None of them can afford to lose the battle of the century.
"The decisive moment has come."
Brin said slightly excitedly in the commentary booth.
The Pelicans dominated all three quarters, and the Warriors relied on Thompson's shine to bring the game back.
The difference of 4 points is negligible for both teams, and the next 8 minutes are the most exciting and exciting decisive moments.
The Pelicans' offense, after Davis went to the low post, Holiday followed up and put the ball in.
To say that Green was also a little guilty tonight, he was beaten by Jokic in the opening game, and he will be beaten by Davis again at this time.
However, he was more confident at this time than at the beginning, after all, there was a Bogut behind him to guard the basket, and it was not so easy for Davis to beat him.
He knew that Davis would most likely not forget to go to the basket, and he was not heavy-hearted, ready to interfere with Davis's turning and shooting at any time.
However, he miscalculated, and Davis made a push, turned to the free throw line and went to the basket.
This was a bit of a surprise, but fortunately he was quick and took a big step back into his defensive position.
Davis didn't turn around again, and saw Bogut coming over to help defend and shoot directly from the three-second zone.
He is already 5 centimeters taller than Green, and his arm span is 13 centimeters more than Green.
Green was already difficult to interfere with in this position, not to mention that there was a misjudgment in front of him.
"Huh!"
The ball hits the rebound and shoots diagonally into the net pocket.
Davis' low-post offense scored!
After the goal, he threw his fist and shouted excitedly.
Last season, he was very unwilling to lose to the Grizzlies, but it was the team's overall weakness, and he could accept it in his heart.
But losing to the Warriors last season, especially Game 6, had a lot to do with his poor play, which he couldn't accept.
So after Tang Tian recruited him into the Bitter Training Brothers Training Camp, his training was harder and more serious than ever.
After hard work, his low post offense has improved a lot.
Especially with Procopio's careful guidance, he knows how to use the psychology and reactions of defenders to make offensive choices.
Hitting Green's ball, that's the effect.
Green turned and burst into a foul mouth.
Opening Jokic, now Davis, the Pelicans are ready to turn him?
The Warriors' offense, the Pelicans' defense adjusted, allowing Tang Tian to go directly to Thompson, and Ariza to defend Barnes.
The Pelicans' defense is a net, Thompson Buddha shines through the net, and now Tang Tian directly pressed down the golden bell jar.
And Tang Tian is too familiar with Thompson, and he doesn't have a chance to connect the ball.
Curry ended up with a long-range three-pointer that he missed.
With the ability to shoot beyond the three-point range, even Curry can't maintain the accuracy of the whole game.
Davis took the defensive rebound, he gave the ball to Tang Tian, ran to the front court and continued to fall low.
In the past two years, he had only been able to help Tang Tian, and now was the time for him to step up and share the pressure.
Green was noticeably more focused this time around, with Davis' back-to-back turns being blocked by him.
The rest of the Warriors players also helped Green enough to keep the rest of the Pelicans at bay.
Davis could only force his attack, and he turned and hooked his hand against Green's turn.
Green fought his way up against it.
"Huh!"
However, the ball eventually fell hollow into the net bag!
Davis hit in a row!
The cheers continued.
Cole shook his head helplessly from the sidelines.
Green's defense is impeccable, but Davis's talent is much better than his, and this kind of goal is completely individual ability.
This is also the reason for his helplessness.
Green works hard, and if it weren't for his big mouth, he's definitely a model of motivational player.
But the NBA, especially interior players, is often fighting for talent.
Green is a second-round pick, Davis is the top pick, and the two are too different in height and reach.
The four-pointer was crucial, and the Pelicans' lead went from four to eight in one fell swoop.
And Curry didn't feel good at this time, after a three-point shot near the logo smashed out of the frame, the Warriors' wave of offense was in vain.
The Pelicans countered and hit the frontcourt, and Davis continued to play Green in the low post.
The fans began to cheer.
The last thing to see Green's big mouth is Pelican fans, and now Jokic and Davis take turns beating Green, and they want to beat Green out of the.
Davis was confident in scoring two in a row, and this time he turned his back and threw Green off completely, and he was about to buckle when he got up.
Green saw that he couldn't prevent it, so he directly pulled Davis.
This threw Davis's whole body out of balance.
The two fell to the ground together.
After arriving on the ground, the two were entangled with each other.
The referee reacted in a timely manner and blew Green for a malicious foul.
Green was dissatisfied when he saw it, and Davis was pulled up by Jokic's hand at this time.
At this moment, Green suddenly fell to the ground, as if in this way to protest against the referee.
However, when his upper body fell, his legs seemed to be uncontrollably cocked, and he kicked directly towards Davis's crotch!
"Be careful!"
Tang Tian was also about to walk over to ask Davis at this time, and reminded loudly after seeing Green's movements.
He remembered very well that Green had a well-known nickname in his last life: Kicking Grimm!
