The situation has begun to become clearer now in the game.

On the online forum, many people began to talk about it.

"The Pelicans played very strong today! They scored a high score of 36 points in the first quarter and were 8 points ahead of the Trail Blazers."

"It seems that the Pelicans are going to do a big vote today. They really need to explode in this game... to save people from saying that their strength is still problematic..."

"The Pelicans really want to prove themselves today with high scores and victory as soon as possible... wash away the comments from some people in the last game."

"But they are also a big deal..."

...

There was a lot of talk, and at the Pelicans' home court, all kinds of cheers were heard around everyone.

Because of the first quarter, the Pelicans played very well.

In this quarter, Li Feng scored 14 points and 2 rebounds alone, Ross also scored 8 points and 4 assists. The two teamed up to score 22 points, accounting for most of the points the Pelicans got.

Li Feng's touch also recovered in the first quarter. His 14 points were obtained by two three-pointers and four two-pointers, and there were no free throws.

In other words, he scored 14 points in the first quarter with a goal.

In this quarter, he made a total of 6 of 8 shots, and his shooting percentage was also very high, returning to his normal level.

Such a Pelicans naturally gained very strong combat power, and with a high score of 36 points, it immediately forced the Trail Blazers into a dead end.

The game is about to begin, and the second quarter between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers will be played in this situation.

"Although we scored an 8-point lead in the first quarter..."

Van Gundy said:

"But we must not take it lightly. I think everyone will not forget that there were some twists and turns between us in the last game, and the Trail Blazers suddenly overtook us. If we had not insisted on our pace in the last quarter, we might have lost the first game of the playoffs."

"And that twists and turns appear in the second section... So, we need to deal with this section in the next section, and we must not take it lightly."

In fact, Li Feng and the others also knew about this and did not want to plant the root cause of disaster.

In this game, they not only want to win, but also want a victory that is ruinous and without too many obstacles.

Therefore, they didn't want to show up in this section.

Ross played with a substitute, and the Pelicans really wanted to win the first game of the series with a firm victory.

The Trail Blazers also sent Lillard, and both point guards fought a battle with substitutes from both sides. As a result, they found that with the substitutes of the Pelicans led by Ross, they could actually burst out with very strong combat power. The defense formed by Henson, Turner and Gasol in the inside line prevented the Trail Blazers' forward and even the power forwards from crying.

In this way, Lillard can only fight alone.

The Pelicans not only did not have the last incident in the second quarter, but instead opened the score before the main force arrived. The main force continued to use a steady attack to open the score.

At the end of the first half, the Pelicans had already scored 13 points to lead by 64-51.

The Pelicans scored a 13-point lead in the first half, and they scored a very high score of 64 points, which was better than last game.

In the locker room, Van Gundy is still stressing:

"Although we still have a lead now, we must not relax until the last moment. The Trail Blazers are a very terrible opponent. Although they do not have Ade, you have seen the strength of the regular season. They have the ability to turn the tables at any time."

Li Feng and the others were nodding. Although they knew these principles themselves, they still needed to give Van Gundy enough sense of identity.

"Next, our tactics remain unchanged, strengthen cover, be patient when playing, try to play success rate, and don't waste opportunities."

Van Gundy ordered:
Chapter completed!
