"Let's play a reverse cut-off, AD, you're blocking in this position......"

After emphasizing it, he began to lay out his tactics.

Coming back from a timeout, the Pelicans play frontcourt.

The fans were full of anticipation.

It was Stevens' debut, and Stevens was known for his on-court adaptability when he was with the Celtics, which was a weakness for former Pelicans coach Monty Williams.

Or rather, this is also the point that fans are looking forward to.

There's nothing to worry about at a 5-0 start to the preseason, but if the best on-the-spot adaptation isn't made, then the Pelicans' new season is really worrying.

Holiday carried the ball to the front court and still gave the ball to Jokic in the high post.

The Pelicans played the same tactics, the center organized, the three-point shooter ran without the ball to block and dismantle the defense, and Tang Tian cut to the basket.

Their tactics don't look the same as before.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but feel disappointed in their eyes, could it be that Stevens is not worthy of the name because of this strength?

You must know that the Pelicans lineup has not changed much this summer, and the biggest change has come from the coaching staff.

Although it is a preseason, if Stevens is at this level, how can the Pelicans compete with the Rockets, Warriors, and even the Spurs and Cavaliers for the championship in the new season?

But just as their disappointment was revealed, there was a new change on the field.

Tang Tian, who cut into the basket, suddenly ran back to the free throw line, and Davis appeared beside him and directly blocked Brewer.

Jokic handed the ball to Tang Tian and also blocked Cousins, who came to help defend him.

After continuous off-ball blocking, Tang Tian got an open shot.

He pulls out mid-range shots.

The eyes of the fans at the scene were about to pop out, this was the first time they saw the Pelicans on the spot, and it was also the first time they saw Tang Tianxiu pull out.

Scissor legs, beautiful posture.

Because it is Tang Tian, it is even more intimate than Maddie.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tiangan pulled out his hand and entered the net hollowly!

The Pelicans also broke the scoring drought!

There were explosive cheers at the scene.

There is a pull-out for Tang Tian, and there is also a suspension for Stevens.

Sure enough, Stevens is Stevens, the timeout is called in time, and more importantly, the ball can be scored in the first round after the timeout!

"Defend, defend!"

Tang Tian's dry pull hit, Stevens's face didn't react much, but seeing that the team's defense was not fast enough, he stood on the sidelines and shouted.

The Rockets originally wanted to send a long pass in the backcourt and play a fast break directly, but the Pelicans retreated quickly, and they didn't have this opportunity.

Harden and Cousins played without the ball in the frontcourt, and Paul passed the ball at the first time.

But the Pelicans' defense at this time was significantly strengthened, and Davis, who switched the defense, did not give Harden a chance to catch the ball.

After motioning for his teammates to pull away, Harden was ready to single Davis.

But Tang Tian, who was on the weak side, quickly came over.

Harden pocketed the ball for Brewer.

Davis quickly assists the defense.

Brewer's three-point shot, Davis took advantage of his speed and long arm to pounce on the long-range to give interference.

"Bang dang!"

Brewer's three-point shooting was already inconsistent, and after being interfered with, he hit an iron shot, and Jokic stuck to Capela to protect the defensive rebound.

Back from a timeout, the Pelicans not only scored, but also defended!

The Pelicans played the position in the frontcourt, and this time it was Tang Tian who held the ball and played with Jokic.

After dismantling the ball, Tang Tian held the ball and burst in, and Jokic moved to the top of the three-point arc.

The Rockets chose to wrap Tang Tian, and Tang Tian gave the ball to Jokic.

Brewer, on the weak side, quickly helped defend Jokic.

The presence of Bouzderrick makes the biggest difference between the Rockets and the Lakers on defense, and the speed of this defensive rotation is definitely the performance of a first-class team.

But Serbian Gold's right hand was quicker, Jokic caught the ball and saw Brewer coming, and gave the ball to Ariza in half a second.

With this passing speed, the Rockets' defensive rotation obviously didn't keep up.

Ariza got a big three-point gap.

This past summer, Tang Tian and Davis were training hard at the brothers' training camp.

Ariza didn't participate, but he's spent the past summer improving his three-point consistency through individual training.

With Tang Tian and Davis by his side, all he has to do is take advantage of this vacant opportunity.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Ariza's three-point hollow into the net.

After the timeout, the Pelicans hit a 5-0 wave of Rockets!

This pause effect is a perfect score!

The fans at the scene cheered and cheered.

If they were still a little worried and doubtful about Stevens' coaching ability, then they were completely convinced in these rounds.

There are more changes on the offensive end, and the defensive end deals with blocking, pick-and-roll, and so on.

This pause adjustment really can't be in place anymore.

The Rockets' offense, Cousins hit Davis with his back in the low post and turned to the basket.

Davis has worked his low-post skills this summer, and he has practiced more and has a new understanding of defending opponents' low-post offense.

This time, he grabbed the position in advance and didn't give Cousins a chance to get up directly.

Cousins showed off his ability and turned around with a small throw.

However, Davis' long arm interfered and he couldn't get the ball in.

Jokic stuck Capela for another defensive rebound.

With two rebounds in a row, Jokic's change was clearly felt in these two rounds.

His ability to fight is much better than last season, and he is completely worthy of Capela, a sophomore.

"Speed, speed!"

Stevens continued to shout from the sidelines, which he had set up during his previous timeout.

The Rockets' twin towers on the court, coupled with Harden, are their biggest weakness on the back.

Holiday and Tang Tian rushed down as soon as possible, and Jokic threw it to Holiday in the backcourt.

The Pelicans are two-on-one in the frontcourt.

Holiday carried Paul to the frontcourt, and he was cut off by Paul in front of him, and this time he paid special attention.

When he reached the free throw line, he directly passed the ball to Tang Tian.

Paul turned to help.

Tang Tian knew Paul better than Holiday at all, and he didn't give the latter a chance to make small moves at this time, so he flew directly with the ball.

When Paul saw it, he dodged directly, he didn't want to be a background board.

"Bang!"

Tang Tian held the ball in one hand and scored directly with a tomahawk!

D'Antoni called a timeout.

After Stevens timeout, the Pelicans played a wave of 7-0 and directly stopped the Rockets!

The scalp of the person who paused the show was numb.

"Now we have every reason to look forward to how the Pelicans will perform this season."

This time in China, Brin and Miller also followed to China to comment, and Brin sighed after reading this paragraph.

"A good coach will make a team improve in all aspects."

Miller echoed that he, as a celebrity, has a lot of say in this regard.

The change Stevens has brought to the Pelicans, a preseason game, a timeout has been fully seen.
