Chapter 1270: The ideal is plump and the reality is skinny
"Kawaii is awesome! 55 points are only 7 points less than Tang's 62 points! The most important thing is that he defeated the Pelicans! The new king Dangli!"
"In the past, I only thought Antetokounmpo had the strength to attack Tang's first player in the league. Now, Leonard must be added to this list!"
"The Spurs' chance is here. Winning this game is not just about winning one game. They are in high spirits and have the chance to win the next game!"
"This is the real strength of the Spurs! They deserve a spot in the Western Conference Finals!"
"In this state of Leonard, I think it is highly likely that the Spurs will reverse the Pelicans this year and defeat the Lakers!"
"This makes me think the Pelicans lost? Do you have any misunderstandings about that man's strength?" A speech from a Godfather fan.
"I'm wrong. Is this Xiaoshuai? Is he talking to Tang Tian?"
"Can't it be that his number was stolen! The probability of such a thing happening is similar to the sun coming out from the west!"
"I think Xiaoshuai was defeated. Come on, Xiaoshuai! The door of New Orleans has been open to you! ( ̄▽ ̄)~*"
...
After the game, Spurs fans were once again excited.
And they have more confidence in the team than ever.
Leonard gave them this confidence.
Or to put it another way, the infinite annoyance arising from Holt letting Tang Tian go, now I finally have the opportunity to soothe.
Because in this game alone, Leonard is not worse than Tang Tian! Even better!
As for the next game? Who knows that it must not be possible!
With a 3-2 score, the Pelicans set off to return to New Orleans the next day.
Although the team's morale looks pretty good, Stevens arranged daily training that afternoon.
The training content is not very intense, but Stevens hopes that the players will remain in this state.
The next game is still their match point, but the situation is obviously different from the previous game.
If they still can't win, the two sides will face a tiebreak, which was played in San Antonio.
At that time, the Spurs, who played at home, had obviously greater hope of advancement.
But before the training session began, Stevens made a good news.
Gasol, who sprained his ankle before, was finally able to play back.
"Coach, I'm like hearing Marilyn Monroe say love to me."
Carter was sneered after hearing the news.
But this is very real.
Gasol couldn't play in the past few games, and the Pelicans' interior was tortured and ravaged, and now this situation can finally end.
This made the Pelicans' morale high.
Davis specifically paid attention to Tang Tian's emotions during training.
When he saw that Tang Tian was not as emotional as he was playing in the game, his mood also relaxed.
Although I don’t know why the last game was, Tang Tian’s mood really felt like a barometer of the game.
Just as he was thinking, Tang Tian walked over to him and reached out to touch his head.
"Perform well in the next game."
Davis nodded. He had become accustomed to Tang Tian's habit.
After Tang Tian touched him, he ran to other team members.
Touching here and there, especially touching Gasol on the foot. Davis couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
NBA Every player has some incredible quirks.
More ordinary people, Curry's three-pointers before the game, and the Lord of the Rings' vomiting before the game relieves the pressure of the game are all familiar.
To be more strange, Billups believed that his mother's burger would make him brave, so he would let his mother do it for him in every important game.
Something even more absurd is that Terry would wear shorts from his opponent's team before every game. It is said that doing so will make you familiar with your opponent the next day.
Although Tang Tian’s quirk is not as good as Terry, it is really strange.
Moreover, he has trained with Duncan in the past two years, and he can guess that it is mostly due to Duncan.
But he didn't understand why Tang Tian loved to do this this year.
Is it really like Brogden has been promoting in the team that Tang Tian has the skills of Dong?
The next night, the sixth game of the Pelicans and Spurs series kicked off in New Orleans.
The attendance rate in the New Orleans Arena is full, and the enthusiasm of fans is higher than ever before the series.
Compared to away games, they obviously prefer to see teams eliminate their opponents at home.
Moreover, when Gasol warmed up with other players before the game, they became more and more excited.
On the other hand, Popovich frowned after seeing this scene.
The Pelicans are doing a great job in keeping confidentiality now, and they won't get any news before the game.
Now Gasol seems to be able to play tonight, which is definitely not good news for them.
He also called Harmon and Borrego over and temporarily adjusted the starting lineup.
After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.
The Spurs once again changed back to the starting lineup of the first game, with Baynes as the team's starting center.
On the Pelicans, Gasol made a comeback and became the starting center.
When he appeared, the fans reacted the same as Carter's, and cheered like never before.
They looked at Gasol as if they saw Monroe, the most beautiful goddess in the hearts of Americans.
The game started soon amid the cheers of fans.
Gasol got the first offensive opportunity for the Pelicans.
After the Pelicans reached the frontcourt, Gasol pulled to the three-point line, and Davis wanted to play the ball from the low post.
Davis was in a very strong state in this round of the series, and Stevens significantly increased his tactical low post.
Davis did not disappoint, regaining Duncan-like footsteps at low post, turning around and scoring at low post, taking the lead for the Pelicans.
Looking back at the Spurs' hammer tactics, Leonard broke through with the ball and made a layup, but Gasol shrunk the basket, causing long arm interference while confrontation.
Compared to Davis, Gasol was obviously much more solid around him, and Leonard's attack after the confrontation failed to score.
Gasol protects the defensive rebound.
Cheers burst into tears at the scene. Sure enough, with Gasol and Gasol, the Pelicans' protection of the basket is not at the same level.
Davis was double-teamed in the frontcourt again, and he passed the ball in time. Tang Tian pulled the free throw line slightly back after receiving the ball, and the basketball hit steadily.
The Pelicans started 4-0.
George's three-pointer from the frontcourt was off the ball and wanted to fight back, but Tang Tian bypassed the pick-and-roll and interfered with the ball, and the ball smashed out of the box.
Gasol stuck Baynes and Davis protected the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans directly played defensive counterattack, and Brogden scored a layup from the frontcourt.
6 to 0!
The Pelicans started with a better performance than the previous game.
Gasol's comeback is a huge contribution!
Leonard wanted to stand up at a critical moment, but Gasol and Davis' contraction made him choose to shoot.
But compared to the previous crazy performance with faith, his condition has obviously declined, and he still failed to hit the ball after shooting!
Moreover, Gasol protected the defensive rebound and then threw it out loud. Tang Tian's one-stop fast break dunk after receiving the ball directly ignited the New Orleans Arena.
8 to 0!
The Pelicans held their breath and used a set of Tianma Meteor Fist against the Spurs at the beginning.
Popovich was forced to call for a pause.
The Spurs fans were also helpless. After the last game, their expectations for the team were unprecedentedly high.
Chapter completed!
