Chapter 1215 Life Is Like a Bow, if You Can’t Resist, Enjoy It
Cole rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Green's style of play has changed a lot this season, but his performance on the court is actually okay. After all, he still has organizational skills and three-pointers.
This is why he still starts with Green.
But I don't know why Green's performance is extremely bad whenever he plays against the Pelicans this season.
Could it be because of Dandan's sadness?
"Defense! defense!"
The Pelicans' consecutive dunks also made the fans excited, and the cheers at the scene were overwhelming.
Thompson's movement in the frontcourt caught the ball and failed to make a three-pointer. Gasol protected the defensive rebound.
The Warriors retreated quickly enough this time, and the Pelicans changed positions on the fast break.
Tang Tian and Davis played a pick-and-roll, and after splitting, they faced Green with a butterfly step that was unbeatable.
Green stumbled and was knocked down!
After knocking Green down, Tang Tian accelerated to the inside and scored 2+1 against Cousins' help.
After Cousins' injury, his explosive power and reflexes became weaker, and he was completely unable to stop Tang Tian.
The scene exploded again.
The Pelicans were in amazing form in the playoff opener!
It seems that Stevens has given them a sense of urgency by showing them the Spurs game before.
In the first game of the playoffs, they all showed their game state!
Cole turned around and called Guy up, but he was knocked down by a dunk. He felt heartbroken when he saw what happened on the green court.
Gay came on to lift Green.
The Warriors couldn't play five minors, so they settled for one senior and four minors.
This adjustment really worked. Gay pulled Davis out, and Thompson cut to the basket and scored two points.
5 to 11.
Although the momentum was all with the Pelicans after the start, the game was not completely unplayable.
Cole also walked to the sidelines to applaud and cheer for the players.
The Warriors' super lineup has lost to the Pelicans in each of the past three years, and was swept last year. When it comes to wanting to win, no one wants to win more than him, and no one needs to win more than him.
His encouragement was still useful. The Warriors used help defense rotations to prevent Green's three-point shot from the bottom corner.
However, the rebound was grabbed by Davis, who took a second shot and scored.
The Warriors fell short!
There were bursts of cheers at the scene.
Cole put a hand on his forehead.
This feeling is very depressing!
Obviously the Pelicans are no longer the 80-win team last season, but the Warriors were still completely suppressed from the start.
Curry scored in front of Gay. The latter's three-point shot missed, and Gasol protected the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans counterattacked, and Brogdon received a pass from Tang Tian in midfield and made a quick layup to score another 2 points.
15 to 5!
Less than 5 minutes into the game, the Pelicans easily and happily took a double-digit lead!
Cole couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to call a timeout.
"What are you doing? This is the playoffs, what the hell are you doing?!"
As soon as the team members came down, he started yelling.
Although the Warriors' performance this season is not as good as that of the Pelicans, the gap is certainly not as big as it appears on the court.
He wants to inspire the fighting spirit in the hearts of his team members.
Just like the previous encouragement, his rant quickly had an effect.
In the first round after the timeout, Curry shook Brogdon away, got inside and met Gasol with a throw and scored 2+1.
This goal was scored beautifully, and the Warriors bench was in a state of excitement.
Curriga made a solid free throw.
And looking back, Curry miraculously intercepted Tang Tian's pass, and made a fast break layup that caused Brogdon to hit the ball.
After making two steady free throws, he went on a 5-0 offensive and narrowed the point difference to 5 points!
He scored 8 points in all 10 minutes of the Warriors!
Curry, the strongest starting point, deserves his reputation!
Cole took a long breath, and his expression finally relaxed a little.
That's right.
The fact that the Warriors are not as good as the Pelicans does not mean they are not as good as the Pelicans teammate Tang Tian, and the Warriors also have Curry.
In a series, the Warriors have a chance to win, and it's not small!
"Uh-huh!"
But just as he thought this, Tang Tian took a shot one meter away from the three-point line and made a super long shot!
This is making up for one's past mistakes, doubling up on the previous mistake.
Curry wanted to return a three-pointer in the frontcourt, but the Pelicans' "primary schoolboy carnival" defense was airtight, and his long-range three-pointer was interfered with and missed.
Danny Green protected a long defensive rebound, and the Warriors' offense was in vain.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and it was Tang Tian who passed Thompson with the ball. He double-teamed and made a beautiful hit to Davis who was cutting through the air.
Davis dunked with both hands and scored two more points.
The entire New Orleans Arena was in a state of uproar.
Cole's originally relaxed mood suddenly became full of anger, and he shouted at the court.
But this time I really don’t blame the Warriors. With a lineup of one player and four players, Davis played more freely.
Thompson's frontcourt layup was blocked by Davis, and Davis also took advantage of the defensive rebound.
The elementary school students' carnival was enhanced for a minute, but the Warriors' offense was still in vain!
Moreover, the Pelicans directly launched a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian threw away Thompson, received Brogdon's long pass from the backcourt, faced Curry's defense, turned around and dunked 360 degrees, and slammed the ball into the basket.
Tang Tian: Come on, Stephen, I'll teach you how to dunk!
Cole was stunned on the sidelines.
Hallucination, he just had a hallucination!
Curilian's 5 points gave him an illusion!
The Pelicans responded with a 7-0 wave in the blink of an eye, and the point difference was widened to 12 points again!
A very cruel reality is that he did a lot, cheering and scolding.
But it turns out that it is like a stimulant. It has an effect when it is hit hard, but it wears off after a while.
The fans at the scene were already extremely excited at this time.
It was dunked and knocked down in the past, and now it is directly extended to 360. The Pelicans are not playing in the playoffs, they are just showing off!
Show off the Warriors.
The Warriors' frontcourt attack still failed to score.
The Pelicans relied half on the ability of the primary school students to enjoy the carnival, and half on the momentum of the home court. The quality of defense in these rounds was astonishingly high.
Cole was already swearing on the spot.
When the Warriors returned to the defensive end, he cursed and cheered the team on.
This works both ways.
The Warriors also played high-quality defense, and the Pelicans didn't have a good chance until the last few seconds.
The ball finally went to Tang Tian.
Tang Tiansan threatened a fake shot to deceive Thompson, broke into the free throw line and was attacked by three people.
There was no time for him to pass the ball, so he turned around and threw the ball before the whistle blew.
"Uh-huh!"
The posture is as beautiful as a picture, and the sound is as clear as a spring.
Tang Tian's difficult goal at the buzzer.
Superstar charm!
This time, Cole's expression was nothing but helpless.
He tried all methods, but in the end all failed!
This scene repeated itself throughout the first half, with Cole using every gesture he knew to mobilize the Warriors players.
But after halftime, the Pelicans led the Warriors by 17 points, 58-41.
The fans on the hotline are already extremely happy.
"Curry scored 20 points in the half. He really tried his best. There is indeed a gap in strength between the two teams."
"To be honest, Tang is really ridiculously strong now. I feel like he can't defend at all now!"
"You're not strong, but you can score 102 points in the end with 24 points in the half?"
"Yes, Tang is the first person in history. No matter what the Pelicans' record is, I think they are the championship!"
"I can't agree anymore. The Lakers and Spurs are all fake. Have you ever seen Jordan not win a championship when he was at his peak? What's more, Tang is better than Jordan now!"
"I feel sorry for Cole. I think Cole really fought for his life today, but it doesn't seem to be of any use."
"Why bother! This Warriors team obviously can't beat the Pelicans! Life is like a bow, if you can't resist, just enjoy it!"
