Chapter 1068 WDNMD
“Fxck!”
Donovan couldn't help but be rude.
He didn't expect Walker and Davis to be so good at pick-and-roll.
Even Tang Tian didn't exert much strength in this section, and Butler didn't participate in the offense much.
But that's it, the Pelicans have already pressed the Thunder to the ground and rubbed it!
Griffin hit Davis with his back in the low post, turned and went to the flying layup on the baseline.
Griffin's explosiveness after the injury was not as strong as before, which was changed to turn around and dunk directly, but now he can only play a board layup.
It was this change that gave Davis the opportunity, and the moment he turned to shoot, Davis raised his hand directly with his height and reach.
"Bang!"
Davis gave Griffin a pegboard hat straight away! He also took advantage of the situation to win a defensive rebound!
Donovan stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, already desperate.
Walker continues to look for Davis in the frontcourt to block and dismantle.
Donovan recovered from his despair and shouted from the sidelines that the Thunder's defense had changed, and he didn't change his guard when he was blocked.
Walker didn't attack after seeing it, and after signaling Davis to drop low, he hoisted the ball straight in.
Davis hit Griffin with his back in the low post and made a board-wiping shot after back-to-back turns.
The ball grazed the rebound and landed safely into the net.
Davis scores two more points for the Pelicans!
The effect of his training with Duncan in the summer came out, and this step coupled with the stability of his hand made him a Duncan II alive!
Donovan was stunned.
When did Davis get this hand?
Griffin continued to force the basket and turned beautifully past Davis.
It's his ability.
But after he passed Davis, it was Dedmon standing in front of him!
Dedmon is black and hard, giving confrontation, and the long arm gives interference at the moment of his shot.
Griffin's hand is short, the shot point is too low and is interfered with, and the ball smashes out of the frame!
Davis stepped back to grab a defensive rebound.
Thunder, still no score!
The whistles and cheers of the scene came and went.
This is really a one-sided hanging!
Dedmon, Davis, Butler, Don Tian!
After the Pelicans defended the joint defense, the interior line was solid!
The Pelicans' defense is solid, and the Thunder's positional battle is also showing characteristics, and Walker's continuous blocking and pick-and-roll this time also has no chance.
The ball was finally given to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian took the ball and pulled it out directly outside the three-point line.
"Huh!"
Basketball goes to the net!
12 to 0!
“wdnmd!”
The fans on the hotline have already started to explode.
They have watched the NBA for so many years, but this scene in front of them is really alive for a long time!
A team with a double core not only can't score points, but is also beaten into a sieve!
Really, I'm going to hit you!
Westbrook found Adams in the front court to block and prepare to play Dedmon in a misplaced position.
But the Pelicans didn't come out at all, and Westbrook's zombie pull-out with the ball was smashed out of the frame by Butler's interference.
Davis grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.
Walker was fast, received a long pass from Tang Tian's backfield, and turned around and threw a shot against Westbrook's top.
"Smack!"
"Huh!"
Westbrook reached out to interfere with the beater, but the ball still fell into the net pocket!
2+1!
Walker made the second 2+1!
Donovan reached out and patted his forehead and called a timeout.
I can't watch this game.
"I think ESPN needs to update their rankings just tonight."
On the commentary bench, Barkley has already begun to tease his competitors.
"Yes, what they were worried about is completely out of line, the Pelicans' chemistry is so good, it's like a team that has been running in for three or four years."
Kenny Smith is a very professional basketball commentator, but he also uses his professionalism to express his emotion at this time.
The media knows about the hard training of the brothers, and it takes at least a year or two for others to form a giant team, but the four brothers of the Pelicans completely save this process.
So they also think ESPN's brain show is funny.
"I can't imagine this team losing, no one can beat them anymore except for injuries!"
Barkley turns on Big Mouth mode.
"How many times have you seen Don make a move? 1 time? 2 times? It's the first time I've seen the Pelicans play a game without him making a shot! ”
O'Neill's Tang Blow has also begun to go online.
"That's because he doesn't need to."
Kenny Smith said something that was true, but it was heart-wrenching for Thunder fans.
The strength of the Thunder team is good, but in comparison, it is too far behind the Pelicans, Tang Tian really doesn't need to exert force, and the Thunder team has already fallen!
Coming back from the timeout, the Thunder had a substitution, and Grant came on to replace Griffin.
It's clear that Donovan was a little unhappy with the All-Star power forward's performance.
Westbrook held the ball to the frontcourt, saw that the Pelicans were still defending the 2-3 joint defense, and after passing the ball a few times from the outside to make a three-point opportunity, he directly pulled up and shot.
Three points is not his forte.
He shot less than 30 percent from three-point range throughout his career, barely 30 percent on a large number of shots last season.
"Huh!"
However, at the critical moment, his three-pointer went into the net and broke the scoring drought for the Thunder!
The Thunder's bench erupted in excited cheers.
This three points are too crucial!
The Thunder had a mediocre record last season, but Westbrook played well against the Warriors, Pelicans, Mavericks, and Rockets in a couple of games.
He's the kind of player who is strong when he's strong.
Donovan was finally relieved on the sidelines.
Westbrook didn't attack much after the opening, and it was still up to him at critical moments!
Westbrook's three-pointer boosted the morale of the Thunder, who defended the Pelicans for almost 24 seconds.
However, the ball was finally given to Tang Tian, who broke through to the inside line and made a strong layup to cause Adams' shooting foul.
It seems that this is what Tang Tian needs to do now, when others can't open it, get the ball and hit the ball in.
And it's the same singles, but it's much easier than he used to be.
Because Walker disrupted the opponent's defense, his single defensive pressure in the final moments was actually not as great as before.
Tang Tian scored two free throws steadily.
17 to 3.
The Pelicans retreated to halfcourt, and Stevens motioned from the sidelines for the team to switch back to man-to-man defense.
Westbrook's frontcourt was marked by Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was able to score clearly on and off the field, and the ball was not left, and Westbrook was covered and had no offensive chance.
However, he still chose to attack strongly, and the strong shot that broke into the penalty area was almost directly covered by Tang Tian.
The ball bounced off the front of the basket and the rebound was protected by Dedmon.
The Thunder's offense was broken again.
Donovan reached out and rubbed his forehead vigorously.
The Pelicans are not only strong in lineup and strength, they also have a young version of "Popovich".
Donovan, a former college coach, is well aware of Stevens' ability to coach.
At this moment, the Pelicans played a game in the frontcourt, and Butler took Walker's burst three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Butler has it too!
20 to 3!
“wdnmd!”
Donovan instantly felt like 10,000 Cao Nyima were whizzing by.
