Chapter 945 Pelican War Season 3

Others are venomous, but Jordan is not venomous, he is poisonous.

He still vaguely remembers playing in the quarterfinals against North Carolina.

North Carolina was in a mess in the first half when Jordan was there. In the second half, when Jordan left, North Carolina came alive and almost turned the game over.

Whether you believe it or not, metaphysics is there.

Dio seemed to have thought of something when he saw Tang Tian's expression.

Jordan was a god when he was playing, and he is still a god after he retires, but he is just a god.

"It's okay. We are very resistant to poison. Didn't you turn Barkley into a bully?"

Dio said with a smile.

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

Things like metaphysics are beyond human control.

The Warriors arrived in New Orleans the day before the Western Conference Finals.

Like the Thunder and Rockets before, they will also start their series with the Pelicans on the road.

But what is different from the Thunder and Rockets before is that the Warriors are obviously more confident than them. Their daily training after arrival is open to the outside world.

In the much-anticipated series, reporters gathered on the sidelines.

But before the training ended, Curry and Thompson went back to the locker room.

When the training ended, Durant and Green were still practicing extra time, and head coach Cole became the target of reporters.

Long guns and short cannons are airtight.

"What do you think of TNT's latest show? Michael feels the Pelicans have a better chance of winning the series."

The reporters’ questions focused on hot topics, and the questions they raised were quite novel.

You must know that Cole was Jordan's original teammate, and now his former teammates are not optimistic about his team.

"That's a good thing."

Cole said with a smile in his eyes.

This sentence is very simple, but it expresses all the multi-layered meanings.

"How is Durant doing now? We know that since last season, his performance against Don was not very good."

The reporter's next question was gentle in tone, but the content was sharp.

It is no exaggeration to say that Durant suffered from Tang Tian's phobia before.

"He's great. There's something wrong with what you said. Kevin's performance against the Pelicans last time was great and he helped us win."

Cole said with a smile that neither team was the main player in the last match at the end of the season, so the outcome of that game was of no reference.

He was talking about the second meeting between the two teams in the regular season. That game also allowed Durant to regain his confidence against Tang Tian.

The interview with Cole was almost in progress here, and Durant and Green had finished their training over there. The reporters quickly moved their positions and surrounded them again.

"Kevin, are you confident about tonight's game?"

"He has, he has more than ever."

Before Durant could speak, Green answered for him.

Durant nodded.

"Our goal is a championship, that's our only goal, no matter who the opponent is, we will do that."

Green continued.

Unlike the previous teams, Green did not mention the concept of revenge at all. He was overflowing with confidence.

Durant continued to nod.

He is active on social media but relatively quiet in front of the media.

However, when he chose to go from the Thunder to the Warriors, he chose the most difficult road. Failure to win the championship would be a failure.

Green's words were more direct, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.

These interviews before the game were quickly exposed by the media.

Green's big mouth continues to make Pelicans fans unhappy.

Only a year has passed, and Green has forgotten the tragic experience of being swept last season.

Sure enough, time is the best healer and the best amnesia drug.

But this also makes fans look forward to the upcoming series.

The next night, the third season of the Pelicans vs. Warriors officially kicked off in New Orleans.

Commentators from various countries were at the scene early, preparing to broadcast this round of the battle of the century.

Although it is only the Western Conference finals, the grievances and strength of the two teams make this definitely the most watched series this year.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of both teams appeared one after another.

There have been changes on both sides.

The Warriors removed Pachulia, the starting center in the first two rounds, from the starting lineup and put Iguodala into the starting lineup.

The Pelicans also removed Jokic from the starting lineup and replaced him with Brogdon.

There is no serious big center on both sides, and they are all five small lineups.

This is also the result of two consecutive years of Yuyong wars. Both sides know each other's ins and outs and hide their weaknesses as much as possible.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Davis returned the ball to the Pelicans' half, officially kicking off the third season of the Pelicans War.

Both teams removed their big centers to avoid the embarrassment of being pulled out for military training.

However, Curry couldn't get out of the Warriors' side, and the Pelicans also targeted this point from the beginning.

After Tang Tian holds the ball, Brogdon sets a pick-and-roll screen.

However, after being beaten for three consecutive years, Cole also responded by attacking Tang Tian in advance and not allowing the Pelicans to easily replace him.

Because the penalty scale was loose and the intensity of the confrontation provided by the Warriors was very high, this strategy worked.

The Pelicans' first wave of tactics failed. Brogdon dribbled the ball and finally chose to give the ball to Davis in the low post.

Davis hit Green with his back, turned around and shot off the board.

Green's hard interference put a lot of pressure on him, but the ball still hit the backboard and fell into the net.

Davis looked really good tonight.

The Pelicans took the lead, and looking back, the Warriors were not far behind.

Kenny Smith's analysis on the TNT program is correct. Tang Tian is mainly defending Durant, and the Warriors will attack Curry.

Curry took advantage of Iguodala's screen to fake a three-point shot and went straight to the basket. He accelerated to get rid of Ariza's layup, causing the latter's thug to foul, and made two free throws.

Looking back, Tang Tian failed to hit Curry again. After he signaled Brogdon to pull away, he asked Davis to raise a high pick-and-roll.

After breaking it open, he walked out and Davis walked in. He made a sudden stop and jumped into the air to give the ball to Davis. Davis pressed Thompson under the basket and scored.

The Pelicans scored consecutive offenses after the opening.

But looking back, Green organized the ball at the top of the arc and hit the ball to Curry, who was cutting through the air. Curry pulled the lever in the air to avoid Holiday, and scored a high-arc backhand layup.

The defensive intensity of the two teams after the start was no lower than that of the previous series between the Pelicans and Rockets.

The various muscle collisions during pick-and-rolls without the ball, and the scenes of people falling over from time to time, all highlight the characteristics of the playoffs at the beginning of the century.

However, such intensity of confrontation can also highlight the status of the players.

Tang Tian and Durant haven't performed yet, but Davis and Curry's status tonight came out first.

The goals they scored after the start were not easy.

In the opening game of the game between the Pelicans and Rockets, both sides did not score for three minutes, and the fans who watched it were also very excited.

Now with the same defensive intensity, both sides can still score the ball, which further shows the strength of the two teams.

This kind of scene is worthy of the fans' waiting for a season!
