Chapter eight hundred and thirteenth to get the true biography of Popovich
In another office in the stadium, the Pelicans are also holding a post-match press conference.
Tang Tian, Jokic and Stevens attended.
The reporters asked most of the usual questions, and the three of them also responded fluently.
The theme of Tang Tian’s press conference was to blow on Jokic beside him.
There are endless words such as the best-organized big man in history, ten times better than himself in passing.
"How do you evaluate the performance of your opponent's Mavericks, or do you think they will cause you trouble in the next game of the series?"
A reporter asked Tang Tian a more special question.
"Of course, they're getting better and better. We spent less than three quarters to finish the first game, but this game they played with us until the last five minutes, and the next game was played in Dallas, and that would be a fierce battle."
Tang Tian still praised the Mavericks' performance.
"How do you evaluate today's conflict?"
The reporter asked again about Pachuria's footsteps.
"It's obvious that the last ban did not make Pachuria realize his mistake. I think the league should increase its efforts in dealing with this matter, otherwise the conflict may happen again, which will cause great losses to the league's image."
Tang Tian directly put pressure on Xiao Hua in advance.
After the Mavericks and Pelicans' match ended, the second game of the other three groups also ended one after another at the same time.
The Cavaliers beat the Nets again 101-79.
The strength gap between the two teams is obvious, and the Cavaliers played extremely easily in the first round.
The Heat narrowly beat the Hawks 93-91.
Whiteside continued to perform well, scoring 18 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Wade scored 21 points, and he finally blocked Korver's final goal, helping the Heat to take a 2-0 lead in the big score.
The Spurs beat the Thunder 103 to 90.
After losing the first game, Popovich quickly made adjustments, giving Durant unlimited defensive pressure.
This is also what Popovich used for Tang Tian at the beginning.
It turns out that Durant is indeed inferior to Tang Tianyi level now, and he only scored 23 points in the last 10 of 26 shots.
After this game, the two teams tied 1-1, and the winners and losses of the series are still full of unknowns.
After the first two games, the Pelicans and the Mavericks moved to Dallas, where the two sides will compete in the next two games.
The situation is not good for the 0-2-0, and the Mavericks official also played a sign to defend the home court.
Dallas fans have never lacked enthusiasm, and such signs also make fans motivated.
Not only outside the American Airlines Center Arena, but also on the surrounding streets, such signs can be seen everywhere.
As long as you keep these two home courts, the Mavericks still have hope of winning.
However, before the game, there was news that was unfavorable to the Mavericks.
The league's incident against Pachuria was severely punished. Although the footsteps failed, it was still suspended for five games and fined $25,000.
In other words, even if the Pelicans and the Mavericks played in the tiebreak in the series, Pachuria would not be able to play again.
The Mavericks protested but were rejected by the league.
This signal is also very obvious. Xiao Hua does not want those dirty playing methods to appear again.
Fans cheered for the league's decision and also cheered for Tang Tian.
As Tang Tian's status in the alliance grew higher and higher, he began to gradually gain influence and speak.
The American Airlines Center Arena was crowded that night, and the team owner Cuban wore his signature blue T-shirt and his face turned red in the front row.
The enthusiasm of Dallas fans is really unparalleled, and this scene is even better than that of the New Orleans Arena.
Although Pachuria was suspended, the Mavericks players were still full of fighting spirit when they appeared on the scene.
It’s not appropriate for them to be excited about such a home court!
After the opening ceremony, the third game of the two teams' series also began soon.
After two games, both sides have basically figured out each other.
Carlisle and Stevens did not make any adjustments to the lineup either.
Embiid got the ball for the Mavericks, but Butler came up and received Delong's pass and made a jump shot.
Cheers were constantly coming.
Just as Tang Tian said at the press conference, the Mavericks' return to home court was even more imposing, which was destined to be a fierce battle.
The fans on the scene thought so, and the fans in front of the TV thought so.
Even the TNT three giants in the commentary seat think so.
But soon everyone discovered that the game was completely different from what they imagined.
The Pelicans are obviously prepared. They improved the quality of defense at the beginning, and even Tang Tian devoted himself to defense.
Then, keep fighting against defensively.
This approach completely exposed the Mavericks' weak defense.
After the first quarter, the Mavericks were beaten by the Pelicans without any change of hand, and fell behind 16 to 36 in a single quarter.
When the intercourse was paused, the live photographer gave Stevens a shot.
Stevens turned to look at Tang Tian.
This was another trick Tang Tian gave him.
The Mavericks failed to organize the counterattack like that in the last game.
They eventually lost to the Pelicans 78-102 at home, and were already behind 0-3 in the big score.
NBA history has never been able to make a comeback while falling behind 0-3.
That is to say, the Mavericks' season trip is over.
It was not until this time that the fans remembered what Tang Tian said at the post-match press conference.
This guy is just a big fool!
I also said that the Mavericks will be as good as possible, and the away game will become very intense, and the battle will end in one quarter.
Poisonous milk! All poisonous milk!
It was then that some fans realized that Tang Tian was a disciple trained by Popovich.
This operation has obtained all the true teachings of Popovich.
The fourth game takes place two days later.
Stevens pulled Tang Tian to chat about the tactical issues of the fourth game again.
He thought he had a thorough understanding of tactics, but after these two games, he found that he was a little far behind Tang Tian.
It sounds incredible that a head coach is not as good as a player, but that's the truth.
However, he was not jealous, but instead slowly chatted with Tang Tian with a learning attitude.
Learning is endless, not to mention that he is the youngest type of coach himself.
"The last game will definitely be very intense, the Mavericks will do their best to win the game, and we must even be prepared to return to New Orleans to play the fifth game."
Tang Tian said seriously.
Tactics and other things, both sides fought three games, and they had already used them.
The Pelicans won the third game with a surprising tactic, but the Mavericks themselves failed to perform well was also a major reason.
In the last game, if you are eliminated if you don’t win, the Mavericks will definitely fight.
“Psychology and details.”
Stevens is indeed very talented in coaching, and then he talks about the key points of the fourth game.
Being prepared for tough battles and grasping every detail of the game is the key point for the Pelicans to end the series.
