Chapter 645 Two People Who Don't Match Their Characters (First Update!)

The three teams 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 wonderful, just like his slogan, where.amzing.happen (miracles happen here).

The Pelicans successfully avenged 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. After the past two years, the truth about the Spurs' abandonment of Tang Tian has gradually surfaced.

So whether Tang Tian wanted it or not, this was his revenge battle.

And this is also the favorite part of fans and media.

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

There is no better screenplay 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 game between the Pelicans and the Spurs is two days later.

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

Just as they were preparing for the game, the tiebreaker between the Rockets and the Clippers was also over.

It's a bit like the Pelicans playing the Grizzlies before. After losing Game 6, the Clippers' spirit was gone. They defeated the Rockets in the tiebreaker.

In this way, the Rockets became the ninth team to finally achieve a comeback after falling behind 1 to 3.

They will also usher in a game against the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.

All four semifinal matches have been released, and the games between the Spurs and the Pelicans, the Cavaliers and the Knicks are the first to start.

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

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

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

This makes them more confident in the game.

At the beginning of the game, Tang Tian and Davis continued their outstanding 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 replaced him, which attracted cheers from the fans.

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

After Jokic came on the field, he missed a three-pointer, and then he was scored 2+1 by Diao on the defensive end. His state did not look very good.

However, he quickly adjusted his state, first assisting Dinwiddie to score a layup, and then defending Ginobili's 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.

In Memphis before, he saw that Jokic didn't feel good when he was training in the training hall, and he was worried that he would not be able to find his target after his comeback.

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

It took only a few rounds to find the feeling.

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

This was his second foul of the quarter.

Tang Tian turned his head and looked at Popovich who was standing in the half-court next door.

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

The help he brought to the Pelicans' bench stage is still obvious.

After halftime, the Pelicans also led the Spurs by 9 points 55 to 46.

Playing at this pace, the hope of winning the first game is very high.

The home commentator is also very optimistic, and believes that the Pelicans will continue their excellent state in the first round and get a good start.

But 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 game, but he played very anxiously, wanting to attack when he got the ball, and the defensive end too.

There was even a performance of losing his defensive position because he wanted to block the shot.

This allowed the Spurs to seize an opportunity to catch up with the score and finally reversed the Pelicans 103 to 99 to win the game.

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

Whiteside's data is also good, with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

But fans who have watched the game and the players of the Pelicans know that Whiteside played very poorly in the second half of this game with various misplacements and strong attacks.

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

Speaking of it, Jokic played well, but Whiteside's performance was poor. There is really a bit of disagreement between the two.

After being reversed, the atmosphere in the Pelicans locker room after the game was very dull.

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

Everyone knows who is responsible, but they also know Whiteside's character, and no one is easy to speak.

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

"Hassan, you need to play patiently. Have you forgotten that I told you that the first priority of a center is to protect the basket? Blocking a few shots is not important."

Tang Tian began to speak in a calm tone.

Whiteside nodded, but didn't seem too concerned.

Seeing his attitude, Tang Tian became more serious.

"Did you forget what you said, you want to earn yourself a big contract next year, and then buy a house that is so big that you can live in your family?"

Tang Tian said what Whiteside cared about.

"I know those."

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 out.

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

But the Spurs play very reasonably, and there are very few strong drives to the basket, and he won'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 frowned.

He was no longer angry, but a little disappointed.

At the beginning, Whiteside listened to him very much, but now his wings are hardened and he starts to have his own ideas.

In fact, even if Whiteside didn't say anything, Tang Tian also knew what little things he was thinking.

He really wanted to give this guy a chestnut.

This guy has a bad mind, and he really treats the general managers of other teams as idiots. The stats that were swiped and the stats that were typed out can be clearly seen in the video.

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

Tang Tian finally said harsh words.

The Pelicans lost their home court advantage when they lost the first game. The Pelicans and the Spurs are close in strength. If Whiteside plays like this, all their efforts for the season will be in vain.

Thank you so pure uncle for your reward.
