Leonard made a steadily free throw, and he scored 7 points in a row at the beginning, helping the Spurs lead 7-6.

Green missed the three-pointer from the frontcourt, and George protected him to defend and rebound.

After the Spurs advanced to the frontcourt, the ball was still given to Leonard.

The Spurs are like the Pelicans tonight, and they won’t play individual singles.

The fans at the scene began to cheer for Leonard.

Leonard broke through Green again, and his body was able to fight against James directly, which was really strong.

Davis assisted in defense, and Leonard passed the ball directly.

Bertans received the ball and fired the gun at the bottom line.

"Swish!"

Three-point hollow into the net.

As a big man, Bertans has a 42.9% three-point shooting percentage in the season, which is a very terrifying stat.

Or in more straightforward words, Baynes can shoot three-pointers, and his words can really open up space.

10 to 8!

The Pelicans started the offensive shots, but they are still behind the Spurs!

After the Spurs were forced to the edge of the cliff, they also came to their best condition!

Tang Tian directly scored a three-pointer in the frontcourt.

"Swish!"

There are, too!

The two teams are fighting against each other!

Not only the fans on the scene, but even the fans in front of the TV were so excited that they didn't dare to breathe.

This is not a simple battle to score points. The defense quality of both sides is very high. Being able to score the ball is really a complete ability.

And in the next round, I received a bonus of "Carnival for Primary School Students", and the Pelicans' defense intensity was even higher, and the assisted rotation was airtight.

Leonard broke through twice without success.

He finally gave the ball to George. George flicked and rushed in, but was cut off by Green!

"Bang!"

However, before Green got the ball, he passed it out, Leonard suddenly broke out from the side and directly broke the ball back!

When the ball exchanged, the Pelicans were already in a fast break, and Leonard broke back, so the Pelicans defense was too late to form.

Leonard took a step away from Green and smashed the ball into the basket with one-handed dunk.

12 to 11!

The Spurs took the lead again.

The two sides took the lead alternately and seized every opportunity. This is definitely the most exciting game in the playoffs this year!

"The Spurs showed confidence in winning tonight, and Kawai was in great shape tonight."

In the commentator's seat, Barkley exclaimed, but he was a little panicked. Is the Big Three trying to turn the Pelicans into a rhythm?

However, it turns out that although their chests are plump than the other, their breasts are still a little smaller.

The Spurs are in a very brave state, but the Pelicans' offense is not reduced. Both sides tied at 35 in the first quarter.

The two teams scored 70 points together, and the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high.

It was not until the second half of the second quarter that the situation of the game changed.

The main players of both teams rested for five or six minutes before playing, and their feels down.

It was also in this period that Leonard once again performed bravely.

He turned around and leaned back when he played singles, leaned back when he doubled the team, and received the ball from the outside three-pointer. He played like Kobe tonight.

But the only difference between him and Kobe is that he is more accurate.

He scored 23 points in the first quarter, and he scored another 13 points in this quarter. He scored as many as 36 points at the end of the half!

With his brave performance, the Spurs also broke the stalemate and ended the half with a 65-54 lead.

Before that, Leonard's single-game scoring record for Leonard was 43 points, but tonight's half was 36 points, which was destined to be his career night.

During the halftime break, the fans on the hotline had already discussed it.

"Leonard stood up in the game that the team needed most, with 36 points in a single quarter, and his performance in half even surpassed Don!"

"It turns out that the Spurs also have nuclear weapons, but Popovich has not pressed the switch!"

"As a secret, it means it's all painful. Before, Leonard was replaced as long as he went for 30 points."

"That's right, although it's an injury protection, I can't get MVP without data!"

"Better than the blue! Leonard taught his elder brother a good lesson tonight!"

"I think the Spurs have a great chance to win the game tonight, and there is nothing impossible to turn the tables 1-3 behind!"

...

The last big defeat made Spurs fans extremely desperate, but after this half, they could clearly feel that their confidence was back.

Pelicans' locker room.

Stevens didn't say much encouragement. Although he was 11 points behind, the overall morale of the team was still high.

They knew that the backwardness in the first half was related to Leonard's brave performance.

Leonard is very strong, but after all, it is not Tang Tian, ​​so it is difficult for him to maintain that performance throughout the game.

Stevens is more about making tactical arrangements.

Regardless of whether Leonard can maintain that state in the second half, the Pelicans will not use Green to defend him alone in the second half.

After halftime, the game between the two teams continued.

The Spurs attacked first, and Leonard broke through with the ball in the frontcourt.

At this moment, the Pelicans' defensive adjustment came.

Brogden ignored White and directly doubled Leonard.

And Davis is ready to assist in defense at any time.

Stevens is taking care of Leonard in a focused manner.

Leonard reacted quickly and passed the ball to White as soon as possible.

However, his passing quality was average, and White bent down to get the ball. When he stood up again, Tang Tian had already assisted in defense.

The ball ended up in Aldridge's hand, and he turned over and jumped against Davis' defense and failed to make a jump shot.

The Pelicans successfully defended this round.

Tang Tian received the ball to the half, and he used Davis' pick-and-roll to go to the right, and George and Aldridge doubled down to defend.

Moreover, Bertans assisted Davis and the Spurs did a great job in assisting the defense rotation.

Tang Tian did not choose to pass the ball. After transporting it to the right side of the three-second zone, he turned around and leaned back to the bottom line.

George jumped hard to interfere.

"Swish!"

However, his interference did not work, so Tang Tian still threw the ball in!

The Pelicans came to the lead in the second half!

Leonard broke through with the ball in the frontcourt and continued to be double-teamed by Brogden. He passed the ball faster this time, and White was an opportunity to catch the ball.

"Bang!"

However, White failed to seize the opportunity and broke the box with three points.

White's breakthrough was very good, but his three-point shooting percentage was only 33%, which was similar to Baynes and was not stable.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and gave it to Tang Tian directly.

Tang Tian accelerated and smashed the ball into the basket with White's defense, causing White's defensive foul.

2+1!

His extra penalty also hit steadily!

59 to 65!

When he came back in the second half, Tang Tian scored 4 points in a row, and only scored 25 points in the first half, he obviously started to make efforts when the team was behind.

Leonard failed to enter the frontcourt with double-teaming.

Green couldn't stop Leonard, but with Brogdon, Leonard's efficiency was obviously reduced.
