Chapter 946 Holding Back the Ultimate Move and Waiting for the CD

Davis and Curry are in good form, and their form has continued.

Stevens and Cole also reacted very quickly. Seeing that they were in good condition, they frequently created tactics to give them opportunities to take action.

In the first quarter, the confrontation between the two became the main theme of the game.

Davis scored 16 points in a single quarter, setting a career high for scoring in a single quarter in the playoffs.

Curry also scored 15 points, but perhaps to take things by surprise, he only took 2 three-pointers and made 1 of 2. Most of his points came from breakthroughs.

The two scores were evenly matched, and the scores between the Pelicans and Warriors were also evenly matched.

After one quarter, the score was 30 to 28, and the Pelicans' lead was negligible.

In the second quarter, the court turned into a time for Thompson and Jokic to compete with each other.

Thompson basically didn't take any shots in the first quarter. At this time, Curry and Durant were resting off the court. Green used the ball-holding technique at the top of the arc, and he hit consecutive three-pointers without the ball.

In the first two rounds, Jokic faced Adams in one round and Cousins ​​in the other round. He had no chance to perform. He didn't even start in this game.

Although he is shy, his ambition is not low. Don't hold back your energy after coming on as a substitute, and he finally met Pachulia who can be bullied.

With continuous European steps and back-turning, Pachulia was shaken and lost his direction, and could only watch Jokic score various points.

At halftime, the two sides were tied at 58.

The score of 58 points at halftime is definitely not a low score in a game of this intensity.

Fans also watched halftime at the finals level.

But many fans found that tonight's game was very different from what they expected.

And this difference comes from Tang Tian and Durant.

As the leading scorer of their respective teams, Durant only took 5 shots in the half, and Tang Tian only took 4 shots.

Both of them seemed to be playing in the Buddhist system in the first half.

Fans originally thought that the situation would improve in the second half, but the result was the same in the third quarter.

Curry and Davis continued to kill everyone.

Curry scored 30 points in three quarters, and his opponent Davis also scored 26 points. The second leading scorer of both teams became the protagonist of the game tonight.

After three quarters, the two teams were tied at 80, and the fans watching were nervous and excited.

Just when the fans thought the game was going to continue like this, the situation on the field suddenly changed during the substitution transition period in the fourth quarter.

And the man who made everything change was Pelicans sixth man Lou Williams.

Williams is the only player the Pelicans have acquired by trading first-round draft picks in the past two years, but his performance in the first two rounds can only be described as average.

Like Jokic, his thin body seemed uncomfortable under the new penalty scale.

However, in key games, like Jokic, he ushered in a recovery.

He continuously changed directions to score breakthrough points, and even knocked down Pachulia. He went on an 8-0 run and directly stopped the Warriors.

And that's not all. When Holiday came back from the timeout and stole Livingston, Williams scored another 2 points on the fast break. The Pelicans were already 10 points ahead!

Williams waved his hands after scoring, and the cheers were overwhelming.

This disciple of Iverson really looked like Iverson in this section.

Cole finally couldn't sit still anymore. He called Durant up in advance, talked to him for a while, and then motioned for him to come on and replace Green.

The Warriors advanced to the frontcourt and after everyone spread out, Durant caught the ball and hit Bojan with a back in the high post on the right side.

Bojan's defense is average, but his golf IQ is not low. He knows that his weakness is movement, and he is trying his best to push Durant out.

Durant didn't make a breakthrough either, so he turned around and leaned back slightly.

This movement is not large, but his height and wingspan are so good that when he turns around, he will get a big open opportunity.

Bo Yang didn't even have time to pounce.

"Uh-huh!"

Durant's shot landed firmly!

Green's always loud mouth before the game makes people uncomfortable, but he is somewhat right. Durant's condition has indeed been adjusted in place.

Williams' single in the frontcourt, he passed Livingston again with continuous swings, and his state was a bit beyond his level at the moment.

However, Durant returned to defense and his long arms interfered.

Williams' mid-air dodge shot failed to put the ball in the air.

Durant took advantage of the opportunity to get the defensive rebound.

Many people know that Durant is a natural scorer, and since he has never been selected to the defensive first team in his career, they think that he is a strong offensive and defensive player.

But in fact, Durant's wingspan and movement speed are both historic compared to his height.

His defense is very similar to Tang Tian last season. Due to physical limitations, he selectively gave up defense.

But if he really wants to defend one round, he will be among the best in the league, not to mention the best in the league.

Durant passed the ball to Livingston and then moved to the frontcourt.

This time the Pelicans changed defense on the court, and Ariza switched to guard Durant.

He is also the Pelicans' best defender against Durant, except for Tang Tian.

Sure enough, Durant's first turn after catching the ball was blocked and he had no chance to take action.

But Durant turned around again, ignoring Ariza who was rushing towards him, and directly chose to make a strong shot!

The ball passed Ariza's fingertips.

"Uh-huh!"

Come in!

There was a commotion in the place.

Durant didn't take many shots in the first three quarters, but he scored 4 points in a row in this quarter.

Williams' breakthrough layup in the frontcourt caused Pachulia to foul, and he made two free throws to help the team stabilize the situation.

Durant turned around to catch the ball and wanted to hit it again, and the Pelicans were double-teamed.

He gave the ball back to Livingston and then ran back to the three-point line.

Livingston passed the ball hand-to-hand, and then followed the trend with a pick-and-roll.

Durant caught the ball and faced Holiday's pull-up three-pointer.

During the draft, Durant's template column was Tracy McGrady, and his playing style was also very similar to McGrady at certain times, such as this three-pointer, which was high and fast.

Holiday fought hard and hit Durant's hand. Durant's shooting hand was deformed, but he still shot the ball.

"Uh-huh!"

And the ball went in!

3+1!

Not counting extra penalties, Durant scored 7 points in a row!

The score difference was suddenly reduced to 5 points!

There was a commotion.

Durant didn't take many shots in the first three quarters. They thought he had a low desire to attack tonight and didn't play much.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all!

This person is holding back his big move and waiting for the CD!

Durant looked relaxed on his extra penalty chance.

The fact that he played less in the past was just because Curry had a good touch. Did he really think he couldn't score?

The referee signaled him an opportunity to add a penalty.

But at this moment, a short whistle came from the sidelines.

He turned around and saw Tang Tian coming onto the field from the technical stage and replacing Bojan Bogdanovic.
