The three groups that have been determined in the second round, the game between the Pelicans and the Spurs has attracted much attention.

To say that the NBA is so fantastic, like his advertising slogan, (miracles happen here).

The Pelicans successfully took revenge on the Grizzlies in the first round, and Tang Tian will usher in his revenge in the second round.

Time has allowed the truth to slowly surface, and after the past two years, the truth about the Spurs' abandonment of Tang Tian has gradually surfaced.

So whether Tang Tian wants to or not, this is his revenge battle.

And that's the favorite part of the fans and the media.

A superstar who was abandoned by his parent team, played against his parent team in the playoffs, and if he succeeded, he broke the dream of his parent team's dynasty.

It doesn't get any better script than this.

Of course, the premise is that the Pelicans can really win, otherwise Tang Tian will become the best background emperor.

This ending is another story.

The Pelicans-Spurs game is two days later.

The Pelicans grabbed the second-place advantage in the regular season, and they can still wait for the Spurs to come to the door in New Orleans.

Just as they were preparing for the game, the Rockets and Clippers were also fighting a seven-game battle.

Somewhat similar to the Pelicans' previous game against the Grizzlies, after losing Game 6, the Clippers were running out of steam, and they lost to the Rockets in the Game 7.

In doing so, the Rockets became the ninth team to eventually come back from 3-1 down.

They will also face the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.

All four semifinal matchups were released, with the Spurs and Pelicans, Cavaliers and Knicks taking the lead.

The New Orleans arena was packed, and the fans looked even more excited than they were in the first round.

The Pelicans have come out stronger and more consistent after the first round, and they have the ability to wrestle with the Spurs even in the playoffs.

And according to the pre-game news, Jokic will also usher in a comeback in this game.

This gives them more confidence in the game.

At the beginning of the game, Tang Tian and Davis continued their excellent performance in the first round, leading the Pelicans to a 27-21 lead over the Spurs in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Jokic came on the court, drawing cheers from the fans.

After a great rookie season, fans have very high expectations for him.

After Jokic came on the court, he first missed a three-point opening, and then was beaten 2+1 by Dior on the defensive end, and his condition did not look very good.

However, he quickly adjusted his form, first assisting Dinwiddie for a layup, and then blocking Ginobili's cutting layup on the defensive end.

And the second time he seized the opportunity, received a pass from Dinwiddie, and hit an open three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Tang Tian was overjoyed when he saw this.

Before in Memphis, he saw that Jokic didn't feel good when he practiced in the training gym, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to find his crosshairs after he returned.

But now it seems that Jokic's ability to adjust is even better than he could have imagined.

It only took a few rounds to find the feeling.

But back on the defensive end, he was fouled by Ginobili for a layup.

This was already his second foul of the quarter.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at Popovich who was standing in the half next half, the old man was ruthless and ruthless.

Jokic played more than 4 minutes in this quarter, got 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 fouls, and performed very well.

His help to the Pelicans off the bench was still obvious.

At halftime, the Pelicans also led the Spurs by nine points, 55-46.

If you continue to play at this pace, you have a very good chance of winning the first game.

The home commentators are also optimistic, believing that the Pelicans will continue their excellent form in the first round and get off to a good start.

However, in the second half, the Pelicans had problems inside, and the person who had the problem was Whiteside.

He didn't have foul problems like in the previous games, but he was in a hurry, and he wanted to attack when he got the ball, and the defense was also the same.

There were even performances where they lost their defensive positions because they wanted to block.

This allowed the Spurs to seize the opportunity, and the wave of waves caught up with the score and finally won the game against the Pelicans 103-99.

Tang Tian and Davis played normally, the former had 29 points, 7 boards and 4 assists, the latter had 19 points and 11 boards, and Jokic also had 10 points, 4 boards and 3 assists.

Whiteside's stats were also good, with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

But fans who watched the game and Pelicans players knew that Whiteside played very poorly in the second half of this game with various mispositions and strong offenses.

As long as he plays a little better, the Pelicans can basically win the game.

Speaking of which, Jokic played well, Whiteside played poorly, and there was really a bit of a mismatch between the two.

was reversed, and the atmosphere in the Pelicans' locker room after the game was dull.

This kind of game that can be won but lost is really unpleasant.

Everyone knew who was responsible, but they also knew Whiteside's character, and no one had anything to say.

Tang Tian called Whiteside and led him outside the locker room.

"Hassan, you need to be patient, have you forgotten that I told you that the first priority of a center is to protect the basket? It doesn't matter how many caps you cover. ”

Tang Tian began to say in a calm tone.

Whiteside nodded, but didn't seem too concerned.

Tang Tian saw his attitude, and his tone became a little more serious.

"Have you forgotten what you said to earn yourself a big contract next year and buy a super-sized house where your family can live?"

Tang Tian said what Whiteside cared about.

"I know that."

Whiteside looked a little impatient.

Tang Tian had said these words to him too many times.

And what he did was what Tang Tian said, but he couldn't say it.

If you want to get a big contract, you must have good data, and the best way to reflect his role is the cap data.

But the Spurs played very reasonably, and there were very few strong baskets, and he couldn't get it at all without taking some risks.

Not to mention that Jokic played so well when he came back, which put more pressure on him.

Seeing Whiteside's reaction, Tang Tian's brows furrowed.

He was no longer angry, but a little disappointed.

At first, Whiteside listened to him, but now that his wings have hardened, he has begun to have his own ideas.

In fact, Whiteside didn't say it, Tang Tian also knew the little Jiujiu he was thinking about.

He really wanted to give this guy a chestnut on the head.

This guy has a bad brain, he really takes the general managers of other teams for fools, and the data brushed and typed out are clearly seen in the video.

"Hassan, put away your damn distractions, we're playing the playoffs, if you want to keep playing."

Tang Tian finally said cruel words.

The Pelicans lost home-court advantage by losing the opening game, the Pelicans and Spurs are close in strength, and Whiteside plays like this, and their efforts for a season are all in vain.
