Popovich called a timeout, and Diamond appeared to be in the air against Cousins, which was not what he wanted to see. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

While Cousins scored 10 points in a row, the Spurs scored just five points and trailed 10-15.

Diamond, who was blown up by Cousins, had a faint loneliness on his face, and he blamed himself for not being good at defense.

"It doesn't look good, we don't do well defensively enough." Popovich said.

Everyone nodded silently.

"Maybe we're too focused on the game." Popovich laughed, then patted Diamond on the shoulder and told him that the person who was the defender was not Cousins, but just an ordinary NBA player who defended with a normal heart.

Diamond nodded, feeling a little more cheerful, and when he knew that he was going to start defending Cousins, it was really stressful that the pressure made him constrained.

"As much as I hate three-point shooting, I have to say that it's the three-point shooting world right now, and even if the Pelicans have the best twin towers in the league, they won't necessarily win." Popovich said.

"Let's use a three-pointer to destroy the twin towers." Popovich said the last sentence and determined the way the Spurs would play next, running and shooting.

Although Popovich is not famous for running and bombing, but as a godfather-like existence in the league, the running and bombing tactics have long been familiar to the point of rotten, at this time he drew a simple tactic, let the Spurs show their strongest firepower, throughout the whole tactic, the main point is only one word, fast.

Although the Pelicans have twin towers, the league has entered the era of small ball, and the pace of offense and defense is very fast, and the twin towers are bound to fall behind in rhythm.

Cousins and Bushy Eyebrows are fast when they run at full strength, but how long can they run at full strength?

As long as the Pelican Twin Towers are out of the game, the Pelican is a sick waterfowl that is vulnerable.

At the end of the timeout, the Spurs served, Parker seemed to be 10 years younger from the moment he received the ball, incarnated as a small sports car to cover into the penalty area, and used his signature penalty area back to turn around, attracting the defense and passing the ball to He Dong on the outside.

After receiving the ball, He Dong faced the defense, dribbled a step, and threw three points with his hand.

The basketball hollow into the net, He Dong sounded the three-point offensive horn!

In the next offense, because the thick eyebrows did not run in with Cousins enough, there was a mistake in the interior cooperation, and the ball was cut off by Leonard, who assisted in the defense.

At a glance, Ho Dong and Parker had already started running, the former raised his right hand high in demand, and Leonard quickly made a long pass.

After receiving the ball, He Dong faced Hill, who was chasing the defense, did not dodge or dodge, and chose to fly and dunk!

Accelerating into the air, He Dong flew sideways past Hill and dunked the ball heavily with one hand!

The fast attack was successful, and the score was tied to 15-15.

The scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and no one would hesitate to praise the flowing flying dunk.

The Pelicans attacked, and Holiday controlled the ball to press the rhythm, "Position!" Hit it steady! ”

Holiday handed the ball to the bushy eyebrows who stepped forward, who received the ball, burst into the mid-range position first, and then began to play the most skillful back shots. After a few strokes of the ball, he turned around and leaned back to shoot his hand.

This time it didn't score, and Diamond got stuck in position, grabbed the rebound in the scramble with Cousins, and put it in Parker's hands.

Since the scene adopts the run-and-bomb tactics, Parker's movements will not be slow, and the small sports car will once again increase its full horsepower and rush to the frontcourt. At the same time, Ho Dong and Leonard also cut inside, and then turned around to the bottom corner.

Ibaka and Diamond are rushing to the Pelicans inside.

Parker passed the ball to Ho Dong, who was standing in the bottom left corner, who received the ball and raised his three-point shot before the defense was in place.

Once again, the basketball ruthlessly hollowed into the net, and the net splashed like a wave.

He Dong scored another three points for the Spurs, and the score came to 18-15.

In the ensuing offense, the five people on the Spurs turned on the crazy running and bombing mode, taking advantage of the Pelicans' weak defensive ability on the outside, and frequently made three-point shots off the court, and the three-point rain fell for a while, and the whole team hit 8 three-pointers in a single quarter, and He Dong alone scored 4 three-pointers. The Pelicans, on the other hand, did nothing in the first quarter except for Cousins' opening three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Pelicans by 10 points at 35-25.

The crowd applauded the performance of the Spurs' five players on the court, cheering on the Spurs' brilliant performance in the first quarter.

During the break, Bushy Eyebrows and Cousins sweated profusely on their foreheads, although when the Pelicans attacked, Holiday did a good job of holding down the rhythm and giving the Twin Towers time to rest. But since the Spurs started running, Parker has been running like crazy as if he was ten years younger, and with the equally fast He Dong and Leonard, the twin towers are really physically unbearable.

As the head coach of the Pelicans, Gentry is also helpless at the moment, shaking his head and regretting, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, although there are the most luxurious twin towers in the league now, but since Cousins came, except for Holiday , none of the other players are reliable.

But as a manager, he needs to cheer up: "Lads! Show your fighting spirit! We have Anthony Davis, the league's No. 1 power forward, and DeMarcus Cousins, the league's No. 1 center, and we have the strongest twin tower combination, and we are a difficult existence to beat! ”

In the past, the Pelicans might have been indifferent to Gentry's encouragement, because the team has long been used to losing, and it doesn't matter if they lose one more game, but now that they have Cousins and the league's best twin towers, the future doesn't look so far away.

They have confidence because, as the Twin Towers said on the plane, when the Twin Towers combine to score 60 points, it's almost impossible to lose.

Everyone heard the head coach's encouragement at this time, coupled with Cousins' brave performance in the first quarter today, the fighting spirit in their hearts was ignited again, and the 10-point difference did not seem to be very large.

However, at this point, both Bushy and Cousins needed to rest, and Gentry told them to rest for three minutes off the court before playing.

The two are now at a strong age, not only have abundant physical strength, but also recover quickly, and can play on the court for a long time.

The Spurs strictly followed the plan, and when the Pelicans twin towers rested, Ibaka and Diamond also rested, and replaced his sister-in-law and Ade.

Ade and his sister-in-law are both good at scoring inside, and now in the face of the Pelicans' weak bench inside, they have taken the initiative to ask for the ball in the low post.

The sister-in-law received the ball, took a step to the vicinity of the restricted area, turned her back to the basket and decisively turned around to hook her hand, and hit the basketball board.

When Ade received the ball, he did not push with his back, but chose to break through, leaning on the body of Jones, the "former rocket small nuclear bomb", to enter the inside line, and actually completed a two-handed violent dunk, which was extremely domineering.
