Chapter 677: I Said We Would Win! (Fourth Update!) )
The Grizzlies called another timeout, and it was their last timeout.
They have to score in the next round, and preferably three-pointers, or that's the end of their season.
After the timeout, almost all the fans in the stadium got up and it was a really crucial offense.
Conley holds the ball at the back and quickly advances to the frontcourt.
Not only do they have to score, but they have to be fast enough.
Gasol Jr. and Randolph both cover on the perimeter.
The Grizzlies are clearly looking for a three-pointer.
The Pelicans' defensive center of gravity was also outside the three-point line at this time, and the Grizzlies' continuous blocking and covering couldn't come out of the tactics.
And more importantly, time is passing little by little, and the Grizzlies' opportunities are also disappearing little by little.
Seeing that there was no chance for a long time, Gasol Jr. took the initiative to ask for the ball to cut inside, which was to prepare for a two-point shot first.
But Whiteside has also dropped back to the basket.
If Gasol Jr. attacks this ball, he will either cover the ball or foul it directly, and he will definitely not give Gasol Jr. a chance to score easily.
Gasol Jr. had no chance against Whiteside under the basket, and the Grizzlies' tactics had completely failed.
At that moment, Gasol Jr. flicked the ball to the outside, and it was a flickering pass.
If you can't score 2 points, you might as well bet on a three-point shot.
Green appeared outside the three-point line, and after receiving the ball, he was defended by Ariza and forced a drifting three-pointer.
It's an absolutely difficult shot.
"Bang dang!"
The shot was noticeably off the rails and hit the right edge of the basket.
But the second time after the bounce fell into the mesh bag.
A fairy ball is in!
Green once again helped the Grizzlies force a life!
The last 4 seconds, a difference of 1 minute!
Tang Tian directly called a timeout on the field.
The Grizzlies have run out of timeouts, but the Pelicans have one more timeout and a long timeout.
The arrangement of this pause is very simple, that is, to give the ball to Tang Tian.
Coming back from a timeout, Davis serves from outside bounds.
In the playoffs last year, there was a ball in a similar situation, and although it was won in the end, Davis made a service error.
This time, Davis learned his lesson and saw the opportunity to send the ball to Tang Tian.
Allen is quick to foul directly.
Don Heavenly Free Throw Line.
The scene was full of boos.
Tang Tian adjusted his rhythm and scored two goals steadily.
The Pelicans once again extended their lead to three points.
And the Grizzlies didn't have a timeout, Gasol Jr. took the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball to Green, who dribbled to the frontcourt.
Tang Tian switched defenses at this time, and made two consecutive steals to try to slow down Green's advancement.
Green ran out of time just past halftime, so he could only throw a long-range three-pointer.
Tang Tian pounced on the cover and almost covered it.
"Toot!"
The red light on the sidelines is on, and it's time for the end.
Green's shot crossed a parabola in the air......
It's directly a three-not-stick.
The defensive pressure given by Tang Tian was too great in this goal.
The scene was in an uproar.
The Pelicans' bench was boiling.
The players on the field danced excitedly.
Win!
Finally won!
After being eliminated by the Grizzlies in the semifinals last year, they managed to get their revenge this year and knock the Grizzlies out of the tournament!
Despite the twists and turns in the series, they managed to do it in the end!
Davis was a little agitated, his eyes were red, and when Whiteside yelled at him, he finally couldn't control his emotions and cried again.
But unlike last year, last year was unwilling after losing, and this time it was excitement after winning!
The thrill of revenge!
No one has a deeper experience than his!
Tang Tian saw his state, walked over and reached out and touched his head.
"I said we'd win."
He said in a calm tone.
Davis nodded vigorously when he heard this.
Tang Tian said that if they win, they will definitely win.
Tang Tian did what he said!
"Congratulations."
After the game, the two teams had a final handshake, and Arun sent his blessings to Tang Tian.
As an opponent, he went toe-for-tat on the field, but as a player, he was really convinced by Tang Tian this year.
After the game, Tang Tian and Davis attended the team's press conference together.
Tang Tian scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, and Davis had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.
'I'm confident in the team now and we're more confident than ever.'
Davis is confident in front of the media.
"AD, Hassan, Zhu ...... My teammates were doing really well, our opponents were very tenacious with the Grizzlies, Jeff Green's three-pointers gave them a chance at one point, and great opponents made great games. ”
Tang Tian is more thorough, he is in a good mood, not only praises his teammates every day, but also praises his opponents by the way.
But this time he boasted that it was perfectly fine.
After losing to the Pelicans in the last game, it's really admirable to be able to play like this.
Green, in particular, who he highlighted, scored a game-high 26 points for the Grizzlies as a bench.
Like he said, great opponents make great games.
After attending the press conference, when Tang Tian and the others returned to the locker room, they inevitably had a crazy celebration.
Praise and praise, such a time to celebrate can not be less.
"You say I'm Durant, but I eliminated the Grizzlies, you say it's your home court, but I snatch the victory from ......"
Ci Shiping was even more interested, and a rap made the atmosphere in the locker room brighten.
How frustrating the Thunder were eliminated by the Grizzlies for the second year in a row, and how happy they are now.
Tang Tian also followed his teammates.
Although the opponent in the next round has already been confirmed to be Spurs, it can be expected to be a tight battle.
But now, they don't want to think about it so much, they just want to celebrate!
While the Pelicans defeated the Grizzlies to successfully take revenge, the series of other groups in the first round also ended.
The Knicks beat the Wizards 4-2 in two straight games and will face the Cavaliers in the second round.
James and Anthony, the brothers of the '03 class, met again in the playoffs.
It's just that compared with last year, this year's Knicks are stronger, and it will also have a big impact on the Cavaliers.
In the other two groups in the East, the Bulls eliminated the Raptors 4-1 and waited there early, and the Hawks also won the Celtics 4-2.
The Bulls' style is the most offensive to the Hawks, and they have a good chance of returning to the Eastern Conference after Rose's injury.
In the West, the Pelicans and Spurs are already set to meet in the semifinals.
This year's playoffs are much tougher for the Pelicans than last year, and they want to beat last year's semifinals, and the difficulty is S-level.
In the remaining two groups, the Warriors are waiting for work, but their opponents are still undecided.
When the Rockets fell behind 1-3, they forced their lives to 3-3 with the help of Josh Smith, Brewer and other substitutes.
And Game 7 will be played at the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets.
They have a good chance of becoming the ninth team in history to come back from 3-1 down.
ps: I, Tang Tian, play a monthly pass!
