Chapter 674 They Are Still Very Young (Second Update!)
But no matter what, this scene has been recorded by the camera at the scene.
After 13 years, the stalk of kissing the donkey's butt has finally made a new breakthrough, and this time it will spread more widely.
After tonight, Mr. Baron may have a new nickname of Baron's Butt.
The news of Barkley kissing Smith's ass still hasn't settled, and the sixth game between the Pelicans and the Warriors kicks off in New Orleans.
News came out before the game that Ariza would have a truce due to fatigue and soreness.
This is obviously not good news for the Pelicans, but fortunately Tang Tian and Davis are both healthy, and the Pelicans still have a fight with the Warriors.
The New Orleans Arena was packed with fans.
After the Pelicans reversed the Spurs 1-3, they were full of expectations for the team's 1-3 reversal of the Warriors.
And in fact, they have chased from 1 to 3 to 2 to 3. If they win this home court, they will be able to play the final tiebreaker with the Warriors.
Because James broke out in two consecutive games in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers have eliminated the Bulls 4-2. This game has become the only game, and it is also the absolute focus of the game.
Alliance president Xiao Hua also appeared at the game.
The Pelicans were full of confidence in winning the last game. Before the game, the players chanted slogans on the bench together with great momentum.
After five games, the two sides are already very familiar with each other.
In terms of formation, except for the Pelicans, Aminu replaced Ariza as the starter, and everything else was the same as the previous game.
The routine on the Pelicans' side is against the five minors on the Warriors' side.
Davis went on to earn the lead for the Pelicans.
The Pelicans still played a low-post offense at the beginning, and Tang Tian singled Thompson in the low post.
His turnaround jumper gave the Pelicans the first point.
Curry holds the ball up front.
But at this moment, everyone found that the Warriors' tactics had been adjusted.
They didn't play infinite air cut tactics, but simply Green pulled to the three-point line for Curry to pick and roll.
After the disassembly, after Curry faced Jokic, everyone else pulled away.
Cole is really smart!
The Pelicans used Tang Tianlai to keep hitting Curry in the last game, and he will play Jokic in this game!
Curry is the Warriors' defensive weakness, but likewise, Jokic is now the Pelicans'!
Curry's continuous change of direction, Jokic obviously couldn't keep up with the speed.
Curry saw the comparison of Jokic's pounce, and directly accelerated and changed direction to get rid of him, and hit the throw before Davis came up to help defend.
After Tang Tian reached the frontcourt, he continued to drop low. After Green assisted the defense, he gave the ball to Davis. Davis also scored before Green returned to defense.
Curry went to the frontcourt and continued to find pick-and-rolls to play Jokic.
This time he still broke through the inside line, Davis helped defend very quickly, and Curry directly cheated him into a foul with a fake move.
The opening rounds became a microcosm of the first three quarters.
The purpose of the Pelicans playing Curry is more to consume Curry's physical strength, but that will also consume Tang Tian at the same time, so they still stick to the original low-post offensive tactics in the first three quarters.
Both Tang Tian and Davis are in good form this game, and the Pelicans' offense is fine.
The Warriors beat Jokic to death. Jokic misplaced the defensive backs in various ways, and he was beaten with doubts about his life.
After three quarters, the two teams played equally.
The only thing that is more worrying about the Pelicans is Davis' foul problem, because he needs to constantly help Jokic defend, and he has committed four fouls after three quarters.
In the critical final stage of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans took the initiative to come up with their five small lineups.
It is impossible for Curry not to play on the Warriors side, but it is possible not to play Jokic on the Pelicans side.
This lineup worked, and Curry was forced by Tang Tian continuously.
But Cole also responded, constantly creating opportunities for the Splash Brothers on the outside through pick-and-rolls.
At this time, the impact of Ariza's absence appeared. When Ariza was there, he and Holiday could play against the Splash Brothers on the defensive end.
But Ariza is not there, and Aminu's speed is struggling with both Curry and Thompson.
The two sides are still deadlocked, and the situation is extremely anxious.
At the critical moment, Davis was called a pick-and-roll foul for a pick-and-roll, and he was sent off for his sixth foul.
There were boos at the scene.
Williams also went to the technology station to protest.
Davis only has an inconspicuous move on the pick-and-roll, and most referees will not blow it.
Moreover, Green did not blow several more obvious balls than this in the first few games. This is an inconsistent penalty scale.
The referee stuck to his call, and it became a turning point in the game.
Davis was sent off and the Pelicans were forced to play Jokic again.
Jokic continued to be targeted, and Thompson threw away Aminu and scored a key three-pointer to help the Warriors lead by three points.
At the critical moment, Tang Tian stood up to carry again, and hit a difficult fallback in the double-team.
But Curry didn't make sense directly and made a fatal logo three-pointer.
And in the next round, Jokic, who was stunned, paid a young price. After being double-teamed, he made a mistake in the pass and passed it directly out of bounds.
The game also lost suspense after this mistake.
In the end, in the absence of Ariza, the Pelicans lost 108 to 112 at home to the Warriors, ending the season 2 to 4.
At the end of the game, Davis slammed the bench with red eyes.
He was hating himself for being sent off early for making the situation on the court turn sour.
Tang Tian went over and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
"We'll win it back."
He said firmly, and after speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Hua in the auditorium.
The loss of the Pelicans in this game has a lot to do with the referee's final penalty.
But you can't say anything, because that kind of bragging is not bragging, and bragging is bragging.
After all, they are still not strong enough this season.
If his ability to attack key shots can be stronger, if Jokic's defense can become tougher, if their five juniors can start to use the running-in early...
If all these are true, they will not fall into a 1-3 desperation with the Spurs, nor will they fall into a 1-3 desperation with the Warriors.
In other words, these ifs are where they need to get stronger next season.
They really need to be strong enough.
In that way, they can truly grasp the initiative in the series, instead of being forced into a 1-3 desperate situation every time;
In that way, even the referee can no longer influence their game, and Xiao Hua can only stare blankly when he comes to the auditorium;
In that way, they can overcome all obstacles and get through the road to win the championship, and win the championship that truly belongs to this team!
There were thunderous applause and cheers at the scene.
Although the team stopped here, the fans are already very satisfied.
A team that has only been working together for two seasons has already reached the Western Conference Finals. This is an achievement that the Clippers and Rockets next door have dreamed of for an unknown amount of time.
Tang Tian pulled Davis up from the bench and reached out to signal to the audience.
They are still very young. Among the starting five, he, Jokic and Davis are all only 22 years old, Holiday is only 25 years old, and even the oldest Ariza is only 29 years old.
One year, they can afford to wait.
Just like what Jokic said after being fouled in the last game, next year they will definitely blow up all opponents!
