Chapter 954: Conflict First Emerges, Tang Tian Resists Poison (Second Update!)
"What the hell are you doing?! Do you think you have won the game? Watch your own defenders, the game is not over yet!"
Cole continued to say words starting with F, and his face turned red with anger.
He knew the result after losing with the four-star Warriors and being chased by 9 points in a row. He was anxious.
After the timeout, the Warriors made substitution adjustments, and Pachulia came on to replace Iguodala.
The Pelicans continued to attack the interior, and the Warriors began to strengthen interior protection.
In the first attack after the timeout, Green and Curry cooperated, and Curry hit the ball from Green and hit a layup.
The score difference returned to 12 points again.
He scored in the first round after returning from the timeout, and the atmosphere at the Oracle Arena was re-energized.
"Defense! defense!"
The fans at the scene roared in unison.
The Pelicans can chase points, and the Warriors can also open up the score again!
Tang Tian held the ball on the outside. After seeing Pachulia come on, he signaled Davis to pull up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.
But Cole dared to make such a substitution at this point, and was prepared in advance. If Pachulia didn't come out, Green would come out.
Davis blocked Green, and Tang Tian dribbled the ball back to the three-point line.
The Warriors' adjustment after the timeout was timely and in place. After dribbling the ball and observing for a while, he made a new tactical gesture.
This time it was a double pick-and-roll between Davis and Ariza in the high post.
When Tang Tian used Ariza's pick-and-roll to break through to the right, Brogdon started another pick-and-roll.
This is a continuous pick-and-roll tactic.
The Warriors are best at unlimited defense changes, but at this moment, Green and Durant had communication problems on defense.
Durant's defense switch was not in place, Tang Tian accelerated into the Warriors' interior and scored 2 points with an easy layup.
"What are you doing?!"
Green shouted at Durant dissatisfied.
He has this kind of character. When his teammates don't do a good job, he will tell them on the spot.
"That's your defensive position."
Durant replied unhappily.
Green made him very uncomfortable. The things he said about his trumpet before were considered private, so he just ignored them as if they didn't happen. Now, in front of his teammates, he was still yelling at him on the court, which he couldn't bear.
He is one of the top five superstars in the league, and he also needs face.
In fact, he has been the pride of heaven since he entered the league. The Thunder management and Westbrook all pampered him. Green's behavior is really too much.
Green was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and was about to continue.
"What are you doing? Get down quickly!"
Cole was standing on the sidelines, hearing the conversation between the two, and was furious.
Now that the situation is unfavorable, the two people still have time to bicker on the court.
Green turned back unhappily and ran towards the frontcourt.
Durant's frown deepened, and Cole didn't treat him specially at all.
The Warriors' positional battle in the frontcourt, Green's iconic ball-holding organization at the top of the key.
The Pelicans' defense is still very aggressive, and they let Green guard five and four, and the Warriors' unlimited air cuts had no chance.
Green finally chose to take his own three-point shot.
Tang Tian showed his ability as the four-time best defensive player and swooped over to interfere.
Green's three-pointer didn't touch the frame, but he missed it!
There was a commotion in the place.
The Pelicans scored easily in the previous round, and then another three-pointer.
The Warriors' first offensive possession after the timeout was good, but their performance in the next two possessions was even worse than before the timeout.
Cole reached out and slapped his forehead. The Warriors were performing badly, but he had just called a timeout.
But as soon as he put down his hand, the Pelicans played another fast break. Tang Tian attracted the defense in the fast break and passed the ball to Brogdon, who quickly made a layup.
The point difference has reached 8 points, single digits!
The Warriors are the best team in the third quarter, but tonight they were chased by the Pelicans by 11 points in the third quarter.
"I know what Michael said. The Pelicans' shooting percentage tonight was horribly low, but what I want to say is that Don's resistance to toxicity is very strong, scary."
Miller spoke from the commentary box.
After just experiencing the real fragrance, he began to correct his words and entered Tangbuki mode.
Brin on the side laughed after hearing this.
No one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes. If he knows his mistakes and can correct them, there is no great good.
Tang Tianzhen was really strong enough to change other people's opinions without opening his mouth.
While they were talking, the Warriors made mistakes in on-court coordination.
Durant's cut was beautiful, but Green's pass was passed too early and passed directly out of bounds.
Another mistake!
The NBA is a business league, and players are colleagues.
But people are not machines after all, and chemical reactions on the field require a harmonious relationship off the field.
Curry and Thompson can make a splash. In addition to their personal abilities, they also have an extremely close relationship off the court.
In the same way, the tense relationship between Green and Durant also caused mistakes in their cooperation.
Green didn't make any indication, turned around and retreated.
There was a trace of disdain in Durant's eyes. He was both dishonest and made bad passes. Such a player actually wanted to command him on and off the court.
In competitive sports, food is the original sin.
Back on the defensive end, Tang Tian faced Green and scored 2+1 after a pick-and-roll.
The fans at the scene couldn't bear to watch.
The Warriors really played like shit in this quarter!
The conflict between Green and Durant first emerged, and the Warriors' offensive efficiency dropped significantly compared to the first half.
But their bigger problem is that they cannot guard against the Pelicans, or Tang Tian's offense.
Tang Tian scored 26 points in a single quarter, helping the Pelicans tie the score in one quarter.
By the last quarter, the Pelicans were playing more and more smoothly.
The point difference was widened again, but this time it was the Pelicans who opened the score.
In the end, the Pelicans relied on their high-quality defense in the second half to score a 55-30 disparity, and in turn won the game 90-80.
After falling behind by up to 19 points to achieve a huge comeback, the Pelicans pulled themselves back from the edge of the cliff.
Tang Tian scored 36 points in the second half and contributed 46 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.
After the game, fans on social media went crazy again.
"The Pelicans only scored 30 points in the first half and failed to score all kinds of goals. It turns out that Joe is really poisonous, but! But Tang scored 36 points in the second half. Facts have also proved that no matter how strong the poison is, it depends on the target. !”
" x-on:Jokic fans, do you still think Don is not worthy of unanimous MVP?"
"You can turn the tide by yourself. This is the strongest basketball performance! So what if you are a four-star warrior! Even a five-star warrior will still defeat you!"
"You are overthinking five-stars. That is an impossible lineup. This Warriors is already the strongest team on paper, but this proves one thing. Don, like Michael, is the god of basketball."
"2 to 2, the next series will be even better. In the next game at Tianwangshan, both sides will definitely try their best!"
"It's time for Pachulia to take action!"
"Twitter keyboard warrior, a professional debate? The Warriors will win Tianwangshan, and Durant will explode!" A statement from a Jokic fan.
