Chapter 700 Tactics Work
The live footage shows Cole, who firmly sits on Mount Tai without much emotional change.
The Warriors' offense, Curry's three-pointer from the outside continued the excellent feel of the series, and directly penetrated the heart and entered the net.
No matter how high the Pelicans' defensive enthusiasm is, it is difficult to completely limit the Warriors' offense.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc. After both Tang Tian and Davis were in the position, he gave the ball to Tang Tian this time.
This is Davis's fight after Tang Tian!
Tang Tian was not at the same level as Davis, so Green directly came over to double-team.
Tang Tian reacted quickly. When he saw Green coming, he directly pushed the ball over the basket.
Davis and Tang Tian played together for two seasons and had a tacit understanding. He had moved to the inside before seeing Tang Tian throw the ball.
Tang Tian threw the ball out, and he jumped up as well.
When the ball arrives, he holds the ball with his right hand and directly smashes the ball into the basket.
The air connection cooperation between Tang Tian and Davis.
Cheers were bursting in the audience.
The Pelicans played in two consecutive rounds at the beginning!
Moreover, the Warriors seem to have no choice but to use this new move from the Pelicans!
Curry's breakthrough layup was interfered with by Davis and went out of the basket, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.
After getting the ball, Holiday was not in a hurry. He transported the ball to the frontcourt and then passed the ball to Jokic.
Jokic continued to give the ball to Tang Tian.
The Warriors had communication on the defensive end, and this time it was Bogut who shrank in.
Tang Tian turned around and leaned backward without waiting for Bogute to come over.
The Warriors' assisted defense is fast, and Tang Tian's attack speed is also fast.
This is a straight showdown at the highest level.
"Bang!"
However, he failed to hit the ball, and Thompson did a good job of defensive interference.
Bogut just turned around to protect the defensive rebound.
The Warriors made a full-line fast break and went straight to their best rhythm.
But their offensive and defensive transition failed to fight this time.
Curry and Thompson were already defended by Holiday and Ariza when they reached the frontcourt.
In fact, when Tang Tian took action, Jokic, Holiday and Ariza had already taken the lead in retreating, and only Davis was rushing to rebound in the frontcourt.
Although the frontcourt rebound did not reach, the Pelicans' retreat was completed as soon as possible.
That's the details, the Pelicans handled it quite perfectly.
"They found a way!"
Barkley in the commentator couldn't help but exclaim.
After the last game, Williams was questioned a lot from the outside world, but the adjustments in this game were impressive.
The Warriors' offensive and defensive transition did not start, so they could only play positions again.
This time they used infinite empty cuts, and Thompson misplaced to face Jokic with three-pointer.
"Swish!"
His second three-pointer hit.
After staying in the hard training camp for so long, his three-point shooting stability is already the top in the league.
Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and he continued to feed the ball to Davis.
This is Tang Tian’s fight, Davis fights!
Davis turned to the bottom line and turned around, using his height to press Green to score at close range.
Davis succeeded in playing Green singles twice in a row, and his touch looked very good tonight.
6-6, the two teams started with two minutes and played evenly.
The Pelicans' tactics worked!
Barnes missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the Pelicans pressed the rhythm to the frontcourt. Tang Tian made a double-team pass to Jokic this time, and Jokic made a three-pointer into the heart.
Barnes' breakthrough layup was not made yet. When the Pelicans arrived in the frontcourt, Davis failed to make a move, but Tang Tian threw away Thompson and jumped to a tip-in.
11-6, the Pelicans have the upper hand on the scene for the first time since the series!
The cheers continued, and the fans were unprecedentedly excited.
It felt like I was coming to a mountain. After climbing hard, I finally turned over!
Cole finally couldn't sit still and stood up and called Iguodala.
He doesn't have to start five little players to pretend to be a pussy, but it seems that his pretentiousness failed and he thinks he slapped himself in the face.
Curry's breakthrough layup caused Jokic's hitter and got two free throws.
His first free throw was made, and Iguodala replaced Bogut on the court, and the Warriors once again showed off their five small lineups.
Curry also had the second free throw, and the difference between the two sides was still three points.
Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc and saw that the person defending him was Barnes, so he directly held the ball and broke through.
Barnes originally played the third position, swinging the fourth position in the five-square lineup, facing the standard No. 5 Jokic, his body size was twice as bad.
Jokic beat him so hard that he could only try to steal, but Jokic was very steadily active. He failed to steal, and Jokic directly pressed him to the inside and scored with one-handed dial.
He looks white and soft, but it really hard when it hits!
The Warriors cut unlimitedly in the frontcourt, and Curry passed a good goal to Green, who scored a free throw.
With the Splash Brothers restrained the outside, the Pelicans' defense did not dare to shrink, and Jokic's weaknesses were exposed by one-on-one dislocation.
However, this did not have much impact on the morale of the Pelicans, which was expected.
They were beaten in the first two games, and they could not have been able to beat the Warriors in a few days.
Jokic went to the top of the arc and continued to hold the ball.
The Warriors' defense has been adjusted, and Green hit Jokic. As a short four-position, he was not a problem at all.
But Jokic didn't play, and he hung the ball to Davis.
Davis's misalignment against Barnes, Iguodala contracted weakly, and Davis directly distributed the ball to Ariza, the bottom corner.
Ariza caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
Ariza's three-pointer failed.
However, Davis magically grabbed the offensive rebound with a long arm under the basket, causing Barnes to foul the man and get two free throws.
Even if the Warriors' five small offensive end does not play offensive and defensive conversion, they can still gain an advantage in positional battles with the Pelicans.
But they only have one Green on the defensive end, and the Pelicans have both Jokic and Davis. Green goes out and the protection at the basket is obviously not enough.
Davis made one of two free throws, and the Pelicans continued to lead three-pointers 14-11.
This also became a microcosm of the entire game between both sides.
Whether Cole uses the regular lineup or the five-small team, there is not much way to use the Pelicans' new formation.
“Their 3rd position needs to be strengthened.”
Smith in the commentator's seat looked like a torch, and he could see the shortcomings of the Warriors' lineup at a glance.
Barnes is not tall and defensive. As a number four, he is weak in defense and rebounding protection.
Fortunately, the Warriors' offense is online, and the scores of both sides have not exceeded double digits throughout the game.
During the stalemate, both sides played until the last three minutes, and the score on the field was 106.
The Pelicans' tactics proved to work completely after a whole game.
