Chapter 1365 They Are Here to Desperately

Calm, Tang Tian was very calm when he said this, and the team members also felt calm after listening to it.

But calm is not indifference.

On the contrary, what they said at this moment strongly resonated with what Tang Tian said.

This is actually a very philosophical statement.

There is no chance to start over in life, even if it is just a small thing, a choice, or even a decision.

As Tang Tian said, looking back on this incident in the future, they will have different emotions, and this mood is their own determination.

Or mentally admit defeat in advance, go through the motions, and be annoyed in the future, after all, this is a chance for five consecutive championships.

Or give it a go, fight hard, even if you fail, at least know that you have given everything you have for the five consecutive championships.

No one shouted slogans, but from the eyes of the team members, it can be felt that their hearts are extremely firm at the moment.

At this moment, Stevens turned his head and gave Tang Tian a very appreciative look.

He now feels that Tang Tian's chicken soup level has entered a realm that others cannot match.

It's not decibels, it's not emotions, it's just resonating with you and making you believe it's the truth.

That afternoon, the Pelicans set off for San Antonio.

1 to 3 behind, playing away, for them, all the external conditions are the most unfavorable.

In the handicap given by the spinach website before the game, they also allowed a full 10+ points.

No one thought they could win Game 5 again.

Except themselves.

The next night, the game between the Pelicans and the Spurs started at the ATT Arena.

The attendance rate was full, and the faces of the fans were full of excitement.

Their thinking is the same as the outside world feels, preparing for the glorious moment when the team enters the finals.

The rise of Leonard and the successive additions of Aldridge and George have made the Spurs still a championship-level team after the GDP era.

But in the past few years, the West has been dancing with demons every year, and the heroes are fighting for hegemony. The last time they reached the finals dates back to 2014.

That was the first season after Tang Tian left. They had just completed their dynasty and lost to the Heat team led by James in the finals.

They never went in after that.

They can reproduce that glory tonight.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released.

The Spurs still had a one-star lineup in the previous game, with Forbes and Belinelli on the outside, George and Leonard on the striker, and Aldridge at the center.

Stevens has changed again this time, with Brogdon and Holiday on the outside, Durant and Ariza on the striker, and Davis at the center.

From Stevens' frequent changes, it can also be seen that the Pelicans are at a disadvantage, and the constant change is to find opportunities.

"Shaq, what do you think the Pelicans' chances are to win tonight?"

Before the game started, Barkley started to heat up.

"30%, less than 30%."

O'Neal is really realistic. Without Tang Tian, ​​​​his view of the Pelicans has completely changed.

Barkley couldn't help laughing, then turned to look at Smith.

"40%, the Pelicans, they won Game 3, they deserve that percentage."

Kenny Smith is relatively objective.

However, judging from the attitudes of the two, including Barkley's reaction, their Big Three, like the outside world, are optimistic about the Spurs entering the finals tonight.

As I said before, no one is optimistic about them except the Pelicans themselves.

The game started quickly, and Davis jumped to the first attack opportunity for the Pelicans.

However, Durant's attack was missed by Leonard's interference.

Stevens changed this lineup to increase the offensive flexibility on both ends of the offense and defense, but it turns out that playing the Spurs, Durant is not efficient at the third position.

But for a while at the basket, Davis was in a bad position and couldn't catch the rebound, so he shot the ball directly.

The angle of the ball was not very good. Holiday missed the ball and saw that the ball was about to go out of bounds and flew to save it.

He rushed into the Spurs' bench, but unfortunately he didn't save the ball.

The Pelicans' first offense went nowhere.

Looking back at the Spurs' frontcourt position, Leonard singles Ariza, and Durant has a help defense.

Leonard passed the ball ahead of time, and George was ready to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Holiday on the weak side flew to help defend.

George shook Holiday a bit, and then shot again.

But at the moment of his shot, a hand interfered again.

It's Holiday!

He didn't give up after being swayed away, but rushed over again.

The ball was missed, but George's shot was affected and he hit a three-pointer.

"The Pelicans were positive tonight."

Kenny Smith commented.

"Yes, but that's not enough for them to win."

O'Neill smiled and shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, Durant played a pick-and-roll with Davis in the frontcourt. Durant was double-teamed out of the ball and was directly intercepted by Leonard.

The Spurs are also very excited tonight. They haven't made it to the finals for many years, and each of them has eagerness written on their faces.

However, Leonard missed the ball and was cut back by Davis from behind!

The enthusiasm of the Pelicans tonight is not very good, it is very high!

Davis turned around and dunked directly after the steal.

In and out, Davis came out on top for the Pelicans.

But Leonard immediately slapped Ariza's back and turned back to pay back.

If you hit me, I will pay you back immediately. Tonight, the two teams are like beasts in a cage, baring their fangs and fighting.

In the frontcourt position of the Pelicans, Durant singled George with the ball, and George quickly shot the ball out.

However, George did not control the ball. After the ball left, it was caught by Leonard's big hand, but Ariza quickly caught the ball.

The two fell to the ground during the scramble, and Holiday also rushed forward at this time, followed by Brogdon and Forbes.

The court was covered with big men for a while.

The referee blows his whistle and calls for a scrimmage.

"What……"

Barkley and O'Neal looked at each other.

Under normal circumstances, when Leonard gets the ball, he can basically receive the ball with his hands, but the enthusiasm of the Pelicans is too high.

And it's not just one person, it's the entire team.

Leonard and Ariza's jump ball, Leonard dialed the ball to the Spurs half court.

At this moment, Durant didn't care about his body at all, he sprinted like a high jump, and took off diagonally to grab the ball.

Most of Durant's body was on George's body, which was quite dangerous. Barkley and the others in the commentary booth broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, George is someone who has experienced it. He hugged Durant in advance and used fouls to prevent him from falling.

The scene applauded George's move.

"I can tell they're not here to play tonight."

In the commentary seat, Barkley, who came back to his senses, spoke.

Both Smith and O'Neill turned to look at him.

"They're here to fight."

Buck made the most accurate summary with the simplest sentence.

Both Smith and O'Neill nodded one after another.

This game is the Spurs' match point, but also the Pelicans' last stand.

In desperation, the members of the Pelican team are really like the Han army forced to the banks of the Lishui River, fighting to the death!
