Chapter 970 Chapter 1006+7 Your Pippen Is Online! (2-in-1)

It seemed that Harrell had held it in for long enough, and the amount of energy he erupted at once was amazing.

But this is also reasonable.

Harrell is originally the kind of player with full mental attributes. He performed well in the playoffs last season. He thought he would be reused in the new season, but it backfired. Now that the opportunity has finally come, how could he not seize it!

James was stunned.

He looked at the ferocious-looking Harrell, and something came into his mind.

Who are you!

It didn't matter that he was bullied by Tang Tian, ​​but this guy who came out of nowhere actually dunked him!

This is simply insulting!

But fortunately, he was different from Durant. He quickly adjusted his mood and then signaled Love to serve in the backcourt.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James continued to use Whiteside's pick-and-roll to kill the basket. This time he did not choose to pass the ball, but went up against Harrell.

Harrell is very tough, but James is too strong when he charges, and he can't even hold him back.

The referee's whistle sounded and James still scored the ball.

2+1!

There was a commotion on the sidelines, but James' expression was calm.

Although he didn't know who Harrell was, he turned around and hit 2+1 on Harrell.

This is the strength of the second man in the league.

Unfortunately, his extra free throw failed to hit, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

6 to 4, the Pelicans still maintain the lead.

Davis held the ball in a high position, and he cooperated with Tang Tian. Tang Tian's shot after receiving the ball bounced twice on the rim and rolled out.

It can be seen that his touch is still not very good.

Whiteside blocked Harrell's defensive rebound this time.

In terms of personal ability and physical talent, he is much better than Harrell.

The Cavaliers advanced to the frontcourt, and Irving held the ball and found Whiteside for a pick-and-roll.

The NBA is extremely cruel. Although Harrell got the opportunity, as a rookie, he is destined to be infinitely targeted.

Irving changed direction and passed Harrell's backhand layup, his movement was extremely elegant.

But Davis assisted in defense, and Irving's shot failed to hit, and the ball slipped from the front of the basket.

Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound and stood up to dunk.

But Harrell's reaction speed kept up this time, a very tough physical confrontation.

Harrell's body is really a bit tough. After Whiteside loses weight, his resistance will inevitably decline. He can't resist now.

There is Davis on the left. He turns to the right and takes a small hook.

The moment he took action, a giant palm suddenly rushed into his sight.

Harrell!

"boom!"

In his disbelieving eyes, Harrell jumped up and slapped his shot directly into the audience.

A volleyball-style hat!

The fans at the scene were instantly excited.

Davis also rushed to Harrell at this time and yelled at the latter.

Blocking shots has always been Whiteside's strength, but he was blocked hard just now!

Tang Tian also reached out and gave a thumbs up to Harrell.

This guy really has endless energy.

Stevens is also in a good mood.

Harrell has the previous shortcomings, but he also has advantages, such as strong strength, fast bullet speed, and long wingspan.

For those who can enter the NBA and play, mediocrity is only relative.

Making the best use of everything is Stevens' way of coaching.

After Harrell opened the game with a rebound, a putback dunk, and a volleyball-style block, he was fully worthy of his starting status.

Harrell performed well as a surprise player and caught the Cavaliers off guard, but in a Finals-level game, a single surprise player alone cannot gain an absolute advantage.

Although Tang Tian's touch on the Pelicans team has recovered somewhat, it is still average overall.

At halftime, the Pelicans trailed the Cavaliers 45-50.

The point difference is smaller than in the last game, but everyone can see that when the midfield adjusts and the Cavaliers deploy a targeted defense against Harrell, the Pelicans' chance of winning will become smaller and smaller.

After Stevens laid out the tactics for the second half, he and Gentry went back to the coach's office.

Tang Tian turned around and spoke to Davis.

His injury had a greater impact on his hand than expected, and he couldn't force his hand. He had no other way but to hit the basket more.

"AD, I will pass the ball to you more in the second half, and you have to take more shots."

On the contrary, Davis' offensive efficiency in the first half today was very good.

In addition to being a player, he is also the godfather of basketball. His analysis and observation are first-rate.

Davis nodded firmly, he had been preparing for a long time.

Coming back in the second half, neither side adjusted their lineups.

The Cavaliers came up to attack first, and Irving broke through and caused Harrell's defensive foul, and got two extra penalty opportunities.

Lu obviously made adjustments in the midfield, which was to take advantage of Harrell's inexperience.

Harel looked a little annoyed, so Tang Tian went over and pulled him to say a few words.

The touch is not good and he cannot exert his full strength on the offensive end, but he can do more in other aspects.

Harrell nodded.

He is a typical rookie who needs encouragement from the coach and the boss of the team.

With these encouragements, his mental attributes can always remain at their peak.

Irving made two free throws, helping the Cavaliers widen the point difference to 7 points.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt and Tang Tian attacked with the ball from the outside.

Seeing Tang Tian continue to attack, Lu felt relieved.

It seems that Tang Tian is really injured and his efficiency is not high. Playing like this is very beneficial to the Cavaliers.

Tang Tian broke through Love with the ball, and James tightened his defense to prevent Tang Tian from easily taking a shot.

The Cavaliers' defensive strategy is very clear. Tang Tian didn't feel good today. He can shoot from the outside, but he can't break through inside. There will be no lack of assistance in defense and confrontation.

Tang Tian broke through to the three-second zone and had no chance to make a move.

However, he made a fake shot and passed the ball backwards with his trademark behind-the-back pass.

After the pick-and-roll, Davis did not go out like before, but followed in.

Harrell struggled to block Whiteside at this time, and Davis flew for a layup after receiving the ball.

James reacted quickly and turned around to help defend.

There was a physical confrontation between the two in the air. After all, Davis had the advantage of height and length, and he accelerated after catching the ball, giving him the upper hand in the confrontation.

"Uh-huh!"

The ball was sent into the basket steadily by him.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Stevens also secretly clenched his fists.

Tang Tian still feels bad. He urgently needs the rest of the team to step up. As the team's second leader, Davis is the best candidate!

After Davis scored, he turned around and high-fived Tang Tian.

Tang Tian came to New Orleans four years ago, and Davis was already here.

The two have performed the Downs combination many times, and they have a perfect tacit understanding. They are the kind of people who know what they are going to do at a glance and know how to change positions with a slap on the butt.

Lu reacted quickly and realized the Pelicans' tactical intentions, shouting to remind the players to pay attention to marking Davis.

The Cavaliers failed to score in the frontcourt. After returning to the defensive end, Tang Tian played a pick-and-roll with Davis again. Shumpert was very fierce against Davis. He would not give opportunities as easily as before. .

Seeing that there was no good opportunity, Tang Tian dribbled the ball back to the three-point line.

He made new tactical gestures.

Ariza and Holiday opened up space at the left corner and 45 degrees, and Davis dropped to the low post on the right.

Tang Tian passed the ball in and then ran towards the basket, taking Shumpert to the other side.

Davis hit Love with his back and quickly hit the board after turning around.

The ball was played very quickly and had a Duncan feel to it.

The ball hit the backboard and shot diagonally into the net.

Davis was in really good form tonight, scoring two goals in a row after coming back in the second half!

The cheers started again, mixed with whistles.

Davis's score came at a critical moment, and it came just in time!

Lue signaled Whiteside and Love to switch defenses.

From being a tactical genius during the Clippers era to being plump and handsome now, Lu has gained not only physical strength but also tactical ability in the Cavaliers in recent years.

James broke through Love, but Love failed to seize the opportunity this time. Davis protected the defensive rebound.

Looking back, the Pelicans played the same tactic, but the Cavaliers had switched defenses, and Whiteside was guarding Davis.

This response came quickly enough.

Davis has no hard skills. He and Whiteside have worked together as the starting inside line for the Pelicans for one and a half seasons, and he is very familiar with Whiteside's technical characteristics.

A wig hit hard and then turned around and shot towards the free throw line.

Whiteside takes aim at the opportunity and blocks the shot.

But Davis feinted a shot and turned to the baseline to hit the board.

Whiteside had no time to return to defense and watched the ball fall into the net pocket.

The fans at the scene were excited.

Whiteside couldn't guard him, and Davis scored 6 points in the second half!

The point difference was only 1 point after being chased!

"Don, your Pippen is online!"

In the commentary box, Miller exclaimed.

They expected Tang Tian to find his touch in the game, but before Tang Tian could find his touch, Davis broke out first!

Lu was a little panicked at this time.

Whiteside didn't even guard Davis, is he going to double-team?

But if Davis is double-teamed, what will Tang Tian do?

"Defense! defense!"

Davis's consecutive scoring boosted the morale of the scene, and the fans cheered for the home team in unison.

Amid the cheers, James broke through in the frontcourt and then turned around and scored, which instantly extinguished the atmosphere.

As shown in the first game, his form in this year's playoffs is very good.

The score difference is back to 3 points!

Lu's flustered expression calmed down a bit.

He has James!

Tang Tian continued to feed Davis the ball in the frontcourt, determined to beat Davis.

Davis continued to play with the ball in his back, and his continuous turns were extremely smooth. His condition tonight was really good.

Whiteside didn't jump the first time, he didn't jump the second time, but he still couldn't hold back the third time.

After Davis shook Whiteside, he turned around and scored with a dunk with both hands!

Crazy, Davis went crazy!

He came back in the second half and scored 8 points in a row!

The score difference was once again chased to 1 point!

Stevens looked excited. He had hoped that Davis would stand up since before the first game, and now he finally got his wish!

Tang Tian also smiled and high-fived Davis.

Just like Miller said, his Pippen is finally on the line.

The Cavaliers played wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and Irving received a pass from James and quickly cut to the basket.

Davis flew to block the shot, and Irving pulled the lever in the air to dodge.

"boom!"

But Davis was in really good condition. He didn't cover it with his right hand and switched to his left hand. He blocked Irving's ball out of the court!

This is so exciting!

"He's everywhere!"

Brin also marveled in the commentary box.

Davis's continuous offensive and defensive performance boosted the morale of the scene. The Cavaliers made a mistake in the sideline ball tactics and the ball was directly intercepted by Tang Tian.

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he was not in a hurry to launch a fast break. After advancing to the frontcourt, he continued to play the same tactics.

"Go around! Go around!"

Drew yelled at Whiteside from the sidelines.

Whiteside... still pretended not to hear.

Drew's mustache stood up in anger.

Davis received the ball and continued to turn around and play with his back.

This time Love took the initiative to help defend, and Davis was double-teamed.

However, he reacted quickly enough and slipped the ball from the baseline to Harrell on the other side during the double-team.

Harrell showed his physical fitness and was unlucky. Before Love could return to defense, he directly took out his hands and slammed the ball into the basket!

The Pelicans overtook the score!

The moment Harrell dunked the ball in, the Pelicans' bench instantly erupted.

After returning from the second half, the Pelicans completely swept away the state of the first half and completely took the initiative on the court!

The situation is completely on their side!

"Defense! defense!"

The shouts at the scene were deafening.

The critical moment was still James. He broke through to the inside and scored the ball with continuous footwork during the double-team.

The Cavaliers regained the lead!

The situation on the field became extremely anxious.

Davis continued to stay in the low post, and Whiteside continued not to go around.

This time Shumpert doubled up and tried to steal the ball.

This is a very lethal move for big players.

But Davis dodged it and gave the ball to Tang Tian, ​​who cut in.

Tang Tian caught the ball and jumped up, hitting the ball into the basket with one hand with his left hand.

The Pelicans scored consecutive dunks, and the Pelicans once again took the lead!

And that's not all. When the Cavaliers failed to score, the Pelicans counterattacked. Davis received a pass from Tang Tian and directly shot a chasing three-pointer.

This is completely exciting!

"Uh-huh!"

The key is that he scored a three-pointer from behind!

In less than half a quarter, Davis made all 5 shots and scored 11 points and 2 assists!

This is the real Pippen!

Lu reached out and called a timeout.

"Keep confidence, he can't always be so accurate. Trust each other and defend every time well. We can win the game like the first game!"

Lu studied under Rivers, and regardless of tactics, his level of chicken soup is at the forefront of the league.

However, no matter how good the chicken soup is, it cannot affect the opponent's state.

Lue said that Davis would not always be so accurate, but in fact, Davis was always so accurate.

Facing James' catch, the jumper hit the net.

Turning back and hitting from a double team.

Score after consecutive tip-ins.

…

Davis scored 23 points in the third quarter! Another 14 points in the fourth quarter!

This night, fans saw a completely different Davis, the Davis who was touted by the media to the sky when he was elected as the No. 1 pick and would dominate the league!

Davis only scored 10 points in the first half, but he scored a full 37 points in the second half!

He made 17 of 25 shots from the field, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, 47 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks!

68% shooting percentage! This is his career night!

With his heroic performance, the Pelicans completely suppressed the Cavaliers in the second half, and finally defeated the Cavaliers 108-98 at home, evening the score!

Every team has a second-in-command, but what makes Pippen different is that his own strength is very close to that of the first-in-command!

Davis really played like Pippen in this game!
