Chapter 524 You are longer than his hands!
After the game, Davis was interviewed by the media on the sidelines.
After he finished the interview, Tang Tian walked to him and reached out to touch his head.
This is Davis' first game in the playoffs. He played so well and definitely deserves his encouragement.
But what he didn't expect was that Davis hid!
Davis actually hid!
He was stunned for a moment. Davis never hid himself before.
"Eric told me that I don't want to be the next Ginobili."
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Davis said seriously.
“…”
Tang Tian turned around and looked at Gordon with a resentful look, "This guy doesn't want to be good!"
After the Pelicans and Clippers' match ended, fans on social media also continued to discuss it.
"Dang and Davis scored 58 points together to lead the team to win! ESPN's brick family deserves it!"
"58...Brother, you can always see things that others cannot see. You are a pure black man!"
"Paul: Can we skip this topic?"
"I can't get over it! The Hornets were won by the Nuggets and the Spurs won by the Clippers 58 points. Do you think this is acceptable?!"
"I really can't get through..."
"The Pelicans' performance tonight is really impressive. Williams' coaching ability has also been significantly underestimated. Now I think they don't have a chance."
"Yes, Don has also proved that he can still be the core in the playoffs. This is the first year of his Pelicans career, and this is a terrifying brother!"
"Isn't this normal? Have you forgotten Don't's nickname? Godfather! He was known for his big heart and golfer when he was in the Spurs!"
"A lion, from the East, I think the lion is more suitable for Don's nickname, just like the little lion on his Twitter!"
"China is the lion who is gradually waking up. Brother, I like the nickname you mentioned!"
"Me too, that's really appropriate!"
...
After gaining a home advantage from the Clippers, the Pelicans were also favored.
You should know that the game the Pelicans won did not rely on the help of the referee or the explosive touch, but they defeated the Clippers head-on.
This is a very plus.
The next game between the two teams will continue to start in two days, still at Staples Center.
But just like last year, because both teams in Los Angeles made the playoffs, they were busy with the stadium staff.
They have to change to the Lakers' floor the next day, and sometimes it may not be a good thing to share a stadium.
The Lakers and Warriors game started the next night at Staples Center.
The Warriors played better in this game than the first one, but they finally lost 92 to 106.
After 0-2, the Warriors' promotion path has become extremely difficult.
After this game, Warriors fans also began to feel dissatisfied.
You should know that the Warriors rank fifth and the Lakers rank fourth, and the two teams only have 2 wins in their record.
They are not inferior to paper strength, and it is really unacceptable to the point of being beaten like this.
And more importantly, if you lose, you lose. The scene is still ugly. The team's offense is constipated and it makes people feel sad.
The team's head coach Mark Jackson has attracted great doubts.
The Clippers and Pelicans game will be held the next day, and the two teams are also actively preparing for the second game.
"We haven't lost. We started the last game with a bad start. If we didn't fall too much in the first half, we won the game in the end, so we had a chance in the second game, and the chance was far greater than the opponent."
During the closed training session before the game, Rivers was pouring chicken soup to their players again.
He can always use this method to inspire the team and find a good entry point every time.
"Blake, Anthony (Davis)'s confrontation is a weakness. You have to play more firmly. You are the key to the team's victory."
After the team's chicken soup was filled, Rivers pulled Griffin and preached.
Griffin scored only 20 points in the last game, which was obviously not enough.
Griffin nodded vigorously, and losing the first game also made him feel ruthless.
After Rivers preached, Tyron Lu pulled the team members to make tactical arrangements.
They are going to change their tactics.
...
That night, the second game between the Pelicans and the Clippers continued to play at the Staples Center.
The Pelicans have made adjustments in the starting lineup, and Whiteside and Morrow, who performed well in the last game, entered the starting lineup directly.
Whiteside's blocking and attacking ability, and Morrow's space ability are the best lineup to play against the Clippers.
Williams really knows how to adapt.
However, the situation after the game started was a big surprise.
The Clippers completely changed their playing style in this game, with Paul, Griffin, and even Crawford and Collison, who came from the bench, constantly rushing to the basket.
Whiteside and Davis have the ability to block, but their experience is indeed not good.
Especially Whiteside, his ability to control fouls has improved, but it is almost a bit better.
He had 2 offenses in one quarter and 4 offenses in three quarters. His playing time was cut in pieces and his performance was not good.
Davis' performance is also much worse than the first game. The defensive end is a poor feel on the offensive end.
And in the third quarter, he assisted in defense and was directly blocked by Griffin.
Griffin had a push in the air with his left hand, but the referee did not whistle.
After the ball was slashed, the entire Staples center was ignited.
The Clippers were full of momentum and finally defeated the Pelicans 100-85, rewriting the big score of the series to 1-1.
Griffin ushered in an outbreak in this game, scoring 35 points and 15 rebounds, and Paul also scored 23 points and 11 assists.
On the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored 33 points, 5 assists and 2 blocks, but it was useless;
Davis only scored 13 points and 9 rebounds in this game, with relatively large ups and downs;
Whiteside's first starter also performed poorly, with only 4 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and 6 fouls left the field in the fourth quarter.
He really can't start now, especially in the playoffs.
After the game, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans.
Although it was a pity to lose the second game, it was already a very good result to be able to return to your home court with a score of 1 to 1.
The Pelicans are preparing for the third game.
Davis was not very emotional.
This is also reasonable. I scored 30 points in the first game, but only 13 points in the second game, and I lost half of the score. It was already good if I didn’t have autism.
The young players have fluctuated greatly, and Tang Tian’s performance towards Davis was not so surprising, but seeing his emotions, he knew that he needed some guidance.
"What's wrong? It depends on your mood not being high."
After the training, Tang Tian sat on the sidelines and asked Davis.
"Griffin, he's too strong."
Davis was really cute and said it straight away.
Griffin's data in the first game was not as good as Davis, but the data, especially the data in a game, was not proportional to his strength.
Griffin is in the fourth grade and is already very mature. His strength is definitely much better than Davis now.
In the first game, Davis felt good and not that strong, but in the second game he couldn't help but couldn't play and was completely suppressed, and there was also the dunk.
"No, you have an advantage over him."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Davis looked at Tang Tian in confusion. He didn't understand whether Tang Tian was encouraging him or teasing him on purpose.
"You're longer than his hands."
Tang Tian said seriously.
