Chapter 1161 This Is Very Real!

Green's outstanding performance also caused a discussion among Breen and Miller in the commentary box.

Because it's not just a matter of three-point shooting, Green's style of play seems to be somewhat different from last season.

To put it in a vivid but perhaps inappropriate way, Green's style of play is a bit Durant-like.

But they were just talking, and this was probably just an arrangement by the Warriors coaching staff.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian continued to break through, and the Warriors shrank their defense.

He double-teamed and sent the ball to Siakam who was cutting in the air. Siakam rushed inside and caused Cousins' defensive foul.

Cousins ​​swore and almost caused a conflict, but fortunately the referee quickly controlled the situation.

Even though he changed teams and hadn't played for a year, his temper still seemed to be the same.

Tang Tian knows that in history, Cousins ​​​​has a good temper in the Warriors because of Durant.

Now that Durant left early and Cousins ​​​​has just arrived, this reaction is also reasonable.

But it wasn't Cousins ​​that caught his attention this round, but Green.

Green didn't even pursue him after being passed?

This is not Green at all!

Green is shamed by Pelicans fans for many dirty tricks, but his success in the league is not based on this, but on his excellent defensive ability.

He can guard from the 5 to the 3 position.

Even if he is passed, he can still defend the ball through active defense and assistance.

But the ball just now was really different from what he remembered.

Cole also reminded Green on the sidelines to pay attention to the pursuit.

Sure enough, this was not his illusion.

Siakam made both free throws.

Looking back, Green continued to support the ball from the outside, but Thompson failed to make a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

At this moment, something unexpected happened to Tang Tian again.

After Thompson hit the ball, it was a long rebound, and he was running in the direction of Green, but he didn't rush for it and retreated directly!

The ball was rushed to Siakam and the Warriors' offense was in vain.

The Pelicans advance into the frontcourt and play position.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand to call Siakam to block for him.

He wanted to confirm something.

Siakam's pick-and-roll was very strong. Tang Tian hit Green in a misplaced position, and his signature butterfly step passed Green and rushed in.

As he rushed, he glanced back, and sure enough, Green didn't chase him.

Dedmon trapped Cousins ​​under the basket, and Tang Tian was so fast that before the weak-side defense could get in place, he jumped into the air and scored with a one-handed gliding dunk.

6 to 6!

The Pelicans tied the score.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

Tang Tian hit the ball as if he was in a deserted area.

Cole spread his hands to Green on the sidelines with a slightly helpless expression.

In front of him, Green shot a series of shots. Breen and Miller in the commentary box thought it was his tactical arrangement.

But that's not the case at all!

Even if Green improves his three-point shooting, he will only use his brain to prevent splash shots and let Green shoot like that.

This is simply a matter of changes in Green's personal style of play.

Since the beginning of training camp, Green's style of play has been very different from last season.

On the offensive end, he prefers to organize offense and shoot from the outside, and rarely cuts to the basket.

Even though he asked Green to make more pick-and-roll cuts as before, Green just didn't listen.

Of course, it is Green's ability to make shots, so he didn't say anything about the two three-pointers in the opening game.

But what matters is the defensive end.

The former Green who was so tough that he did everything he could, the Green who could dominate the paint in the low post is gone.

In his place was a Green who was unwilling to go the extra mile.

It feels like too much confrontation now will make him lose a piece of meat.

When Tang Tian retreated and saw Cole's reaction, he was sure of one thing.

Green, unlike what Danny Green said, has actually changed, and it has changed a lot.

To sum up, Green's playing style has changed directly from a fierce style to a feminine style.

This is very real.

Although medical methods such as testosterone can keep people physiologically normal, psychological changes are difficult to avoid.

Those eunuchs in ancient times would gradually change their personalities after castration. It was not just a lack of male hormones.

Curry and Green had a classic pick-and-roll attack, but Green's pick-and-roll was not strong enough. Siakam interfered with Curry's shot.

"Bang!"

Curry's three-pointer hit the target, Dedmon protected the defensive rebound, and the Warriors' offense once again came to nothing.

Looking back, Tang Tian signaled to pull away, and then directly gave the ball to Siakam for a low single.

Siakam hit twice with his back and squeezed past Green's wiper to score.

This ball once again stunned Breen and Miller in the commentary box, and they looked at each other.

Although Siakam has made great progress, when will he be able to play Green like this in the low post?

Cole also put his hand on his forehead, turned around and called Guy up.

He really can't stand Green's defense.

Curry sent a second pass and assisted Green's layup, causing Dedmon's hitter to foul.

He made the first free throw and also made the second free throw.

But there was a short whistle from the sidelines and Gay came on to replace him.

The score on the court was 8 to 8.

All eight of the Warriors' points came from Green, but he was substituted.

Cole's substitution was incomprehensible to others. If it were Green, he would have complained or even yelled at Cole.

But after Green came off the court, he just glanced sideways at Cole and then sat back on the bench.

This has really changed...

Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt and continued to play singles. After Thompson was passed, Gay's defense quickly came up.

Although he is smaller than Green, Gay's defensive enthusiasm and ability have improved greatly after staying with the Spurs.

In defense, Gay definitely couldn't guard Tang Tian, ​​but he successfully delayed it, and Iguodala on the weak side and Thompson behind him quickly chased after him.

A defensive pocket formation.

Tang Tian's iconic back pass gave the ball to Danny Green in the weak side corner just before the double team was formed.

Green was already ambushing there.

Catch the ball, jump, and shoot.

Green's movements are extremely skillful.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound, and the basketball followed the hollow into the net!

Green's three-pointer went in!

The Pelicans bench was abuzz.

Mitchell Robinson flew up with a towel waving.

The Pelicans have had towel men for generations, and this generation has been passed down to Robinson.

But there’s a reason the Pelicans are so excited.

In the opening game, whether it's Green or Brogdon, Dedmon or Kuzma, no matter how hard he shoots from the outside, there's no way he can.

That's why the game was so difficult. Tang Tian scored 73 points and they only won by 6 points in the end.

But Green's first ball tonight was different.

Although there is no way to say that Tang Tian's "believe that his teammates will quickly regain their form in the following games" after the last game is right.

But at least it's a pretty good sign.

And the signal is being strengthened.

The Warriors' wave of offense failed to score, so Tang Tian continued to score points.

This time Brogdon ran a pick-and-roll on the off-ball side, and with the help of Siakam's pick-and-roll, he took Tang Tian's pass and shot a three-pointer.

The ball flew through the air in an arc.

"Uh-huh!"

Brogdon's three-pointer also went in!
