Chapter 670 It's Always Smith's Butt that Suffers (Second Update!)
That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors continued at the New Orleans Arena.
The Pelicans continued their excellent form from the previous game, and were in a stalemate with the Warriors throughout the first half.
The change of situation happened in the Warriors' iconic third quarter as in the first two games of the series.
But this time it was not Curry who ran away but Thompson.
Cole started the second half with five small lineups, and Thompson was like a fish in water. He scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 20 points in a single quarter.
Under his leadership, the Warriors beat the Pelicans 42 to 27 in this quarter.
And there were a lot of controversies and penalties in this quarter. Green and Barnes had more than one mobile pick-and-roll that was not blown.
The new tactics of the Pelicans can stalemate the Warriors, but it is difficult to reverse.
In particular, Jokic's defensive disadvantages and the inexperience of the five small lineups cannot be changed for a while.
In the end, the Pelicans failed to reverse the situation and lost Game 4 101-113.
Thompson scored a Warriors-high 40 points.
His rampage allowed the Warriors to take a 3-1 lead in the series and also got the match point.
The game is not over yet, the fans on the hotline are already talking about it.
"I heard that after Thompson's Nike China trip last time, the fans there gave him the nickname of Buddha. According to them, Thompson's performance in this game is full of Buddha's light."
"This game the Pelicans Curry did a good job defending, and even Don defended him alone for a while, but Thompson became the winner of the game."
"Did no one complain about Green's pick-and-roll? He was almost walking the pick-and-roll, and the referee didn't see it. This is incredible!"
"So this is where Green's confidence lies? The favor from the alliance, the blessing from Xiao Hua?"
...
After the game, Green looked smug in the post-game press conference.
"I said we'd finish the series in five games, and now we've got one game left."
"Are you sure?" the reporter asked.
"Is there anything uncertain? There's no reason why we shouldn't end the series next game, and if not, my name is written backwards."
Green's mouth is really exaggerated.
But this time he has enough confidence, because after four games, he will return to Oakland for the next game.
They have not lost at home since entering the playoffs. With a 3-1 lead, they have no reason to lose the next game.
After the press conference, Green and Curry walked out together.
"Draymond, let's keep a low profile."
Curry is also very happy to win, but he can't stand Green's big mouth.
"No no, we need this kind of momentum, and do you think we will lose in the end?"
Green asked Curry back.
Curry smiled, and there was only one answer he could answer.
"Let's enjoy the thrill of winning the opponent at home!"
Green put Curry's shoulders and said confidently.
Curry smiled wryly and shook his head. Green is a guy who is sometimes very likable, but sometimes it is really speechless.
Green's speech after the game made fans even more discussed on social media, and even gambling companies got involved.
They opened up a handicap on whether the Warriors can end the series in five games.
More than 70% of the fans bought it.
Although the Pelicans reversed the Spurs 1-3 before, this time, most people think that the Pelicans' playoff journey is over in the next game.
But the morale of the Pelicans is much better than when they trailed the Spurs 1-3.
Although the Warriors are much stronger than the Spurs, they have already completed a 1 to 3 reversal, and after experiencing this situation, the previous panic is gone.
The big deal is another 1 to 3 reversal, isn't it?
After a two-day break, the Pelicans flew to Oakland for Game 5 against the Warriors at Oracle Arena.
Because of the hot discussion from the outside world and the support of the gaming company, the game received unprecedented attention.
The New Orleans Arena was open to the public for free at an away game for the first time. Fans poured into the arena to watch the broadcast on the large LED screen at the scene.
Not to mention those viewers waiting in front of the TV.
According to TNT's real-time data monitoring, the ratings of this game exceeded the peak peak of the sixth game of the Pelicans and Spurs, setting a new record for this year's playoffs.
The game hasn't started yet, but the TNT Big Three in the commentary booth have already begun to warm up in advance.
"The Warriors will finish the game in five games."
Barkley spoke as soon as he came up.
"That Draymond guy said it."
But his next sentence made O'Neill and Smith burst into laughter.
After losing so many times, the rebellious Lord Ba Jue still has no confidence in his heart.
"Hey, Charles, we've got to bet something, or it won't be fun to win every time you win."
O'Neal is really fearless, and speaking of the last bet, the person wearing a custom-made pink dress to dunk was Barkley.
"bring it on!"
Barkley slapped the table. Although he didn't have the confidence in his heart, he never lost.
"I remember when you and Kenny made the ass-kissing bet on Yao."
O'Neill spoke.
Barkley and Smith both laughed.
"Shaq, you can't keep bringing this up."
Barkley said to O'Neill with a laugh that it's not kind to keep revealing people's shortcomings.
"No no, let's bet on this again this time, the loser kisses Kenny's ass, and this time it can't be replaced by a donkey's butt, no, it can't be replaced by any other ass."
O'Neill continued.
Barkley continued to laugh after hearing this.
Smith stopped smiling for a moment and looked at O'Neill with a disturbed expression.
Why, it's him again!
And why, it's his ass again!
Who did his ass offend!
"Okay, it's a deal!"
After Barkley finished laughing, he slapped the table and agreed directly.
This time he has absolute confidence in the Warriors. If O'Neill can kiss Smith's ass in public in the end, then all the losses that he lost before will be won back!
Smith turned to look at Barkley with a black question mark face.
You two haven't asked my opinion yet!
But it seems that Barkley and O'Neill didn't care about his opinion at all.
Just when Barkley and O'Neal reached an agreement and Smith was protesting loudly, players from both sides came out of the player channel.
When Green came out, he smiled and gestured to the audience.
There were constant cheers at the scene.
As an opponent, or a fan of the opponent, Du Green gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could be pushed to the ground and beaten up.
But as Warriors fans, they love Green more than ever.
Green's pretentiousness is equal to their pretentiousness. The feeling that you look at me unhappy but can't do me, really can't be described in words.
Now, they are waiting to see Green succeed in pretending again and end the series at Oracle Arena!
Thank you for your reward in middle age 2020.
