Chapter 1219 Tim Davis
"Montres."
After a timeout, Stevens was the first to call Harrell up.
Gasol's injury came very suddenly, and he could only ask Harrell to go up.
As for letting Davis play the fifth position, if Davis is also injured, then the Pelicans will be really doomed inside.
"Boss, why don't you touch yourself?"
After the tactics were laid out, Brogdon asked Tang Tian before taking the field.
Since the last time he played against the Lakers, Brogdon has become convinced that Tang Tian has Eastern magic.
"Ahem."
Tang Tian was a little embarrassed. He was really going to touch himself, but when Brogdon asked him, it seemed very shameful to touch him again.
And when he washed his hair last time, he found that he had some hair loss.
Although touching yourself is good, you still have to exercise moderation!
"You kid, you really believe it. Play your ball well."
Tang Tian said and touched Brogdon's head.
People are really different. Kuzma doesn't believe in him, but Brogdon believes in him.
After the timeout, there was no personnel adjustment for the Spurs.
Although Baynes didn't match up well with others after starting, now that Gasol is injured and the Spurs have an inside advantage, Popovich doesn't need to change.
In the Spurs' frontcourt, Leonard took Baynes' screen and went inside, pushing Harrell over for a layup.
Although Harrell's wingspan is also very good, his height confrontation is much worse than Gasol's, and his interior defense is naturally much weaker.
Stevens looked back at Gasol, who was already leaning on the bench but with a large bag of ice wrapped around his feet, with some helplessness in his eyes.
In the first game of the series, the big man was injured, and the Pelicans got off to a bad start.
Tang Tian was still heavily targeted in the frontcourt. As soon as he got the ball, he was double-teamed by George and Leonard.
When the Spurs played the Rockets in the first round, Harden was tortured by this method and had difficulty taking shots.
However, Tang Tian still has personal ability. After breaking through, he suddenly stopped, turned around and leaned back, and made a beautiful shot.
"Bang!"
But the basketball hit the frame and came out.
Although George and Leonard failed to prevent Tang Tian's shot, they still put tremendous pressure and interference on them.
The wingspan and ability of the two of them gave them the most defensive pressure on the wings in history.
And Tang Tian's touch tonight was indeed not very good.
The Pelicans' offense failed again, and the perimeter was ready to retreat quickly.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Davis flew from the free throw line to the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound over Baynes' head, then turned around and wiped the board, and scored the ball in the second attack!
This goal is crucial.
Gasol retired due to injury and Tang Tian was guarded. Someone else on the Pelicans must step up!
In the Spurs' offense, Leonard asked Baynes for a pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. This time, Green took a step without changing.
Leonard chose to pull up with an emergency stop.
However, before he took action, Tang Tian had already come to help defend, and his jumping block interfered.
"Bang!"
Leonard's shot didn't go in either!
Tang Tian turned around and protected the defensive rebound!
Although he didn't feel very good tonight, his defense and awareness were still S-level.
He got the rebound and directly pushed the defense to counterattack.
At this moment, a figure rushed faster than him.
Davis!
Davis was guarding Aldridge at the free throw line before, but now with his reaction, he rushed ahead of everyone on the fast break.
There was a frontcourt rebound in the front and now a quick one. It can be seen that he is in very good condition tonight!
Speaking of which, of the 11 points the Pelicans scored in the first quarter, Tang Tian scored 4 points, Green scored 3 points, and Davis scored the remaining 4 points!
Tang Tian quickly broke to the right side of the frontcourt. When he saw Leonard rushing towards him again, he directly threw the ball to the middle without looking at anyone.
After Davis saw the ball, he jumped into the air and scored directly with an alley-oop dunk!
15 to 10!
After Gasol retired from injury, the Pelicans not only did not collapse, but relied on Davis's 4 consecutive points to widen the point difference!
There was a lot of excitement on the sidelines.
Popovich also shouted at Aldridge.
Aldridge looked slightly helpless. He was forced to gain weight in order to play the fifth position. Now he is playing the fourth position, and his speed is much worse than Davis.
Fortunately, he knew that Popovich was not easy to mess with. After receiving Leonard's sudden pass on the offensive end, he shook his head and made a signature mid-range pull-in.
This ball can be regarded as making up for it.
Looking back, Tang Tian continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line. He did not break through directly. If there was a breakthrough, Leonard's help would definitely come over.
He reached out and called Davis to the high post for the pick-and-roll.
After taking it apart, he accelerated and broke through.
The Spurs' defense reacted really quickly. He rushed to the free throw line. Leonard's help was already in place, and George was chasing him behind him.
Including Aldridge in front of him, this is a pocket formation that directly contains him!
Tang Tian made an emergency stop and prepared to make a run. When George caught up with him, he made a through ball from behind without looking at anyone.
This series of actions was completed beautifully. Although George was wary of his pass, he still failed to guard it.
The ball went straight to Davis.
Davis didn't hesitate, took the ball and shot directly.
"Uh-huh!"
Two points secured.
Davis scored 6 points in a row and already scored 10 points in this quarter!
The Pelicans bench was in an uproar, and Robinson's towel danced.
Jordan's performance was average tonight, but Pippen stepped up!
Popovich shook his head helplessly.
On the one hand, Davis is in good shape, but on the other hand, Tang Tian can still pass the ball out in such a pocket formation. This ability is really ridiculously strong.
In the Spurs' offense, Leonard once again showed stability, turning behind Green and scoring from behind.
14 to 17, the situation on the court is still anxious.
The Pelicans attacked in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian reached out and made a tactical gesture.
Brogdon did not give the ball again, but signaled Davis to drop low, and then prepared to give the ball in.
Others on the off-ball side were not idle either. Tang Tian was using Harrell and Green's pick-and-roll running without the ball to contain the Spurs' defense.
His idea is that if the situation is unfavorable, he can only touch himself and pretend to be upset if he misses the ball.
But now that Davis is in great shape, he doesn't do that for the sake of his hair.
The Pelicans don't have to ask him to step up and carry every night.
Tang Tian's movement was crucial. The Spurs' defense was contained. After Davis got the ball, he got a chance to beat Aldridge one-on-one.
With continuous footwork, Davis is as flexible as a defender in front of Aldridge.
Aldridge is not good at defense, and his weight cannot support him to keep up with Davis' speed.
Davis finally squeezed away Aldridge, turned around and scored with a beautiful wipeout.
He scored 8 points in a row! Scored my 12th point in this quarter!
There was a lot of excitement on the sidelines.
Not only because Davis is scoring continuously, but also because of the way Davis is scoring now.
It's a second offensive rebound, another mid-range shot, and another shot with a step behind the basket.
This scene is really familiar to them!
Tim Davis!
