Chapter 1250 Rampant Davis

Previously troubled by injuries, Davis and Green were absent and the other was on the bench, but now they are starting together!

When the two of them didn't start the game before, the Bucks were completely beaten. Now the Pelicans' starting lineup has given them deep despair before they even started!

Of course, this is not the most desperate.

The most desperate thing is that at the end of the Pelicans' opening ceremony, Tang Tian, ​​like the previous two games, patted the heads of the Pelicans' players again!

Faith is built after success after success.

Fear also arises after experiencing it again and again!

No one knows whether this unprecedented ritual has any effect.

But the current situation is that the Pelicans find it useful, and the Bucks also find it useful as an opponent!

The game is about to start, and the coaches on both sides are making final tactical arrangements before the game.

After Budenholzer called the players together, he threw the tactical board directly on the bench, then pulled the players and spoke in his most emotional tone.

"They are putting out smoke bombs. They want to break down our psychological defenses in this way. We must maintain confidence."

Although this sentence is a bit timid to say, it is what the Bucks need most now.

Their original despair has eased a lot.

What Budenholzer said makes sense. It is rumored that Davis will return in three days, and Green's injury has not progressed.

It's such a coincidence that two people are starting at the same time.

They would rather believe that the truth is what Budenholzer said, that this is just the Pelicans trying to break their psychological defense.

The short whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the game began immediately, with the starting lineups of both teams coming on stage one after another.

Tang Tian's throwing of magnesium powder ignited the fans' emotions. Amid the cheers of the fans, the game was about to start.

The Pelicans' jump ball guy tonight changed from Gasol to Davis.

Coincidentally, the Bucks also switched from Horford to Antetokounmpo.

It can be seen that the two teams started to compete with each other tonight.

In the end, Antetokounmpo's jump and wingspan were even better, giving the Bucks the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Budenholzer let out a long breath when he saw this.

He doesn't know if Davis' injury is really good, but Antetokounmpo won the jump, which is helpful to the Bucks' morale.

Irving advanced to the frontcourt and stretched out his hand to signal Horford to move up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

The Bucks' offensive strategy looks the same as the last game, with Irving and Hayward as the main offensive points.

Irving's change of direction was beautiful, passing Gasol and quickly rushing to the basket.

After glancing at Davis guarding Antetokounmpo, Irving jumped up and hit a lowhand layup.

But just before the ball hits the basket, a long arm covers the ball for a beat.

"boom!"

A pinboard hat!

Davis!

Owen's eyes were full of disbelief.

Because he observed Davis' position before going for a layup!

Davis also took advantage of the opportunity to grab the defensive rebound, turned around and handed it to Tang Tian, ​​and he also quickly stepped down.

Tang Tian advanced to the frontcourt, saw Redick and Hayward following him, and passed the ball to the middle without looking at anyone.

Davis has already reached the goal, and after getting the ball, he directly scores with a one-handed smash!

The cheers at the scene exploded instantly.

From blocking shots to dunks, Davis scored a top-five goal in the first round in his first game after his comeback!

The scene also showed a slow playback of the attack and defense just now.

Davis was indeed watching Antetokounmpo, but when Irving jumped up, he came to help defend.

His height, wingspan, jumping, and even reaction speed are stronger than Siakam before!

With his physical talent, he took advantage of the situation and blocked the ball!

And after blocking the shot, he also showed the elite speed of a big man, running faster than the small forward, and then received the ball and completed a dunk.

The Bucks bench looked at each other for a while.

Budenholzer tried to convince them that Davis and Green's starting starts were just smoke bombs, but judging from the opening round, this was not the case!

In the Bucks' offense, Hayward and Horford played pick-and-rolls. He had a better vision than Irving. After breaking through to the inside, he distributed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

However, Davis reacted very quickly. The moment Hayward passed the ball, he returned to defend in place.

After Antetokounmpo catches the ball, he can only play one-on-one.

Continuous back-up kicks, plus a turning layup.

Davis withstood them all, and Antetokounmpo didn't get a good shot, so his shot was a bit reluctant.

It can be seen that after the first two games, his self-confidence has been greatly affected.

But this is just barely.

"boom!"

Davis jumped into the air like a flying monkey and slapped Antetokounmpo's shot away from the court!

Exploded.

The scene exploded.

Davis, risked Antetokounmpo!

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a candidate for MVP this season, but Davis is obviously not that good in terms of strength, and he has just returned from injury.

But just now, Davis gave Antetokounmpo a solid big hat!

Momentum, the Pelicans' momentum instantly reached a peak.

This block really boosts morale!

Tang Tian also gave Davis a thumbs up at this time.

It has to be said that in addition to ability, motivation and mental attributes are also important in basketball.

Antetokounmpo has experienced major defeats in the previous two games, especially since he was not the team's main offensive point at the beginning of the last game, and his confidence was seriously frustrated.

Davis, on the other hand, wanted to come back before the finals started, and he was already eager to do so.

But Stevens suppressed him for a few days and suppressed him to the point where he had long since quenched his thirst.

This is finally time to play. In terms of confidence and enthusiasm, he is at his personal peak.

In other words, Antetokounmpo is currently only 80% of his strength at best, while Davis has 120%!

The Bucks sent a sideline ball, Irving received the ball and rushed to the basket, and then saw Davis, who was assisting in defense, dodge instinctively.

He escaped the block, but lost his shooting angle.

The basketball hit the frame and Davis collected another defensive rebound!

In the Pelicans' frontcourt, Tang Tian and Davis played a pick-and-roll, and then returned the ball.

Davis caught the ball from outside the three-point line, didn't think about anything, just raised his hand and threw it away!

This is true confidence.

"Uh-huh!"

Murphy's Law, it really comes into play!

5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks!

Less than two minutes into the game, Davis's personal data has already exploded.

Sure enough, the energy released by a man who has been holding it in for a long time is quite terrifying!

Irving continued to play singles in the frontcourt, but Tang Tian assisted in defense, and his double-teamed shot failed to hit.

Gasol protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans advance into the frontcourt and set up positions.

"Come on Pelicans!"

The fans at the scene were a little excited and cheered for the Pelicans in unison.

Tang Tian and Davis were playing a pick-and-roll again, and knowing that Davis was in good condition, Tang Tian looked for him specifically.

Davis caught the ball and made a shooting motion.

He had just scored a goal before, and Hayward, who was switching defense, pounced very hard.

However, Davis feinted a shot and then strode straight into the paint.

Antetokounmpo has been pulled down to the weak side by Tang Tian, ​​and Gasol has also pulled Horford away from the basket. After Davis passed Hayward, everything was clear in front of him.

He rushed to the inside and jumped up, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Bang!"

A slam dunk set the New Orleans Arena on fire again.

Barkley said before that he couldn't give Antetokounmpo a one-on-one chance because he would just dunk when he rushed.

Antetokounmpo proved that wasn’t the case, as it could have been an offensive foul as well.

But Davis proved what Barkley said in this round. Give him a one-on-one opportunity and what he will give you in return is a dunk!

And it’s a powerful dunk with both hands!
