Chapter 795 Pelican War Season 2
"It's coming, it's coming, the second season of Yuyong Wars! I've been waiting for it for a long time!"
"Come on, kill the warrior and take revenge!"
"I think the Warriors are in trouble this year. They fought too hard in the regular season and were almost defeated by the Thunder before!"
"On the other hand, the Pelicans easily took away the Big Three Rockets 4-1, and the decision was made!"
"The Warriors rely too much on splashes, and they also rely too much on defensive counterattacks. Their ability to attack tough positions is obviously not as good as the Pelicans. This is the biggest problem!"
"So they need a strong attacking point, like Durant, who they just defeated?"
"Man, this idea is very creative! The contracts of both Barnes and Durant will expire next year, wouldn't it be nice to swap them (ω)"
"Don't tell me, it's really suitable. If the Warriors have one more wing player, they will be invincible!"
"I think it's best for Durant to go to the Pelicans, double-shoot with Tang, and have an NBA finale φ( ̄ー ̄)ノ"
"Tsk, you're overthinking it. How will other teams play like this? The league will definitely stop it, just like when Paul went to the Lakers. Basketball reasons!"
"That's right. The league needs balance to be enjoyable and exciting."
"You are going too far. Now the Western Conference Finals is the Pelicans Season 2. Let us wait for the Pelicans Revenge Season 2!"
"That's right, wait for the Pelicans championship!"
…
The Warriors won the tiebreaker and completed an incredible comeback to advance to the Western Conference Finals, but just like the comments on social media, fans were not optimistic about their title defense.
The reason is simple. The Pelicans' performance in the playoffs is much more stable than the Warriors.
The Warriors have tried their best to advance to the Western Conference Finals. If they can win one more game than the Rockets in this state, it will be a victory.
The outside world is not optimistic about the Warriors, but the Warriors are full of confidence in the next Western Conference Finals.
"We've grown a lot over the past two weeks and we're stronger than ever."
Bogut exudes confidence in front of reporters.
The reversal was successful, and the morale of the Warriors was extremely high.
"We and the Pelicans are getting better, but we're still going to win games."
Green's way of speaking was more direct, exactly the same as his previous attitude.
He is determined that the Warriors can eliminate the Pelicans like last year.
"He thinks so highly of himself that I'm worried now that he'll find it difficult to accept when he loses, but that's a good thing because losing will make him grow."
As soon as Green finished speaking, Stephenson from the Pelicans responded immediately.
In a verbal spat, he's not a bad guy at all.
"Who does he think he is? Just a player no one wants anymore!"
Green didn't like Stephenson and didn't bother to respond directly.
"I'm Lance, the one who's about to defeat him."
Stephenson's response was unequivocal.
The Western Conference Finals haven't even started yet, but the war of words between the two sides has already started, and it feels like a storm is coming.
However, the Warriors have just finished the tiebreaker with the Thunder, and the Western Conference Finals will not start in two days.
The first to start is the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Cavaliers defeated the Knicks 125 to 102 in the first opener and won their first victory. The Big Three all showed their power and scored 80+ points.
As the game progresses, the Cavaliers are getting better and better.
Especially on the offensive end, they have averaged close to 120 points per game.
Although the Eastern Conference teams are relatively weak, this is also quite terrifying data in the playoffs.
The outside world's attention is still on the Pelicans and Warriors, but the Cavaliers under Lu's leadership have a well-organized lineup, amazing offensive strength, and are also favorites to win the championship.
The day after the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Western Conference Finals also kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.
The place was packed with people, and every place where people could stand was packed.
Revenge, championship, saliva, 70+ victory team... there are too many keywords in the series between the two teams.
Especially for New Orleans fans, they have been waiting for revenge for a whole year. They can't wait any longer and can't wait for the game to start in the next second.
"Shaq, what do you think of tonight's game?"
In the commentary box, Barkley turned to Barkley and asked.
When he asked, the commentary box was quiet for a moment, and then the three people laughed.
It was predicted that O'Neal would win in the first round, and Barkley, a big mouth, was afraid of it.
"Well, Shaq said, the Pelicans are going to come out big and win the game easily."
O'Neal had an expression that said I would just make a few blind remarks if you asked me to.
Buckley shook his head after hearing this.
O'Neal said that he could agree with the Pelicans' victory. After all, the Pelicans have not lost a home game so far, but saying they won a complete victory is a bit too much.
The Warriors reversed the Thunder after falling behind 1-3. In other words, they have won three life-or-death games in the past, and their mentality and condition are extremely good.
To say the Pelicans will win easily is really going too far.
While the three were chatting, cheers continued and players from both sides entered the field one after another.
When players from both sides entered the arena, they unconsciously turned their heads to look at each other.
The smell of gunpowder smoke began to fill the air.
"Boss, dunk?"
Stephenson came over and said to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian glanced at Stephenson and knew that this guy wanted to use dunks to brighten the atmosphere while he was warming up.
He nodded.
He also had this idea.
There are about fifteen minutes left before the start of the game, and both sides take the field to warm up.
The scene suddenly burst into cheers.
This reaction caused the Warriors players to look askance.
It turned out that Tang Tian showed off a few entertaining dunks during his warm-up.
This is more effective than any other heating method.
The atmosphere was warmed up, and by the time the opening ceremony came, the cheers were deafening, lifting the ceiling of the arena.
As the Pelicans' record gets better and better, the New Orleans Arena becomes more and more like the home of the Devils.
After the opening ceremony, the starters from both sides came on stage one after another.
For the Warriors, Cole directly started with five small players, Splash on the outside, Green and Barnes on the inside, and small forward Iguodala.
In the previous games against the Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder, the Warriors used regular lineups to test the game.
But against the Pelicans, an old rival, he skipped the previous steps and showed his trump card directly.
For the Pelicans, Jokic also returned to the starting lineup.
Biyombo was used as the starter in the last game to guard against Cousins, but there is no need to guard against Green.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Davis beat Green in the jump, officially kicking off the second season of the Pelicans vs. Braves.
After Tang Tian reached the frontcourt and held the ball, he signaled Jokic to drop into the low post.
If the Warriors dare to use five small players, the Pelicans will use Jokic to fight hard.
This has been proven effective in this regular season.
But Cole is not a fool. If he dares to use Wu Xiao, he must be prepared.
Green moved forward to defend Jokic, and on the other side, Barnes' defensive position was also close to the basket, ready to help defend at any time.
This is a heavy defense against Jokic.
This defensive method is very targeted and correct, but Tang Tian felt happy when he saw this formation. Wasn't this giving him a chance?
