Chapter 635 You Have No Chance To Revenge The Spurs (Third Update!)

The Grizzlies are famous for their tough league.

Their impregnable defense in the playoffs also caused headaches for all opponents.

But tonight, the Pelicans are like Gatlin tonight, even though the Grizzlies have a solid wall, they will beat you into a sieve!

In the end, the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies 116-90 at home and won the first victory of the series.

Tang Tian played three quarters and scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists with ease, a quasi triple-double.

Davis scored a team-high 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks. Ariza and Holiday each scored 3 three-pointers. Whiteside also had 9 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Pelicans shot 56% from the field and over 60% from three-pointers throughout the game!

They shot the Grizzlies hard tonight.

The Grizzlies were beaten up, and they were speechless.

In the locker room after the game, the players of the Pelicans were celebrating wildly.

This is the most hearty way to win!

This victory vented all the anger of being eliminated last year.

As soon as Davis came out of the shower, Holiday and Whiteside pushed him to the ground, ripped off his towel, and slapped his bare butt wildly.

This kind of celebration full of affection made Tang Tian, ​​who was sitting in his seat, couldn't help but wryly smiled and shook his head.

The Pelicans are indeed a team dominated by young people.

"We're going to end the series pretty quickly, right?"

McGee was sitting next to Tang Tian at this time, and said with a smile.

"I hope."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

If the Pelicans maintain the state of this game, the possibility of ending the series within four games still exists.

Playing the Grizzlies is all about fighting hard. If you are dragged beyond five games, or even a tiebreaker, then the outcome of the game will be really hard to tell.

Two days later, the second game between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies continued at the New Orleans Arena.

The Pelicans were united, but they ran into trouble after the game started.

The Grizzlies suffered a big defeat for the first time, and in the second game, they made adjustments in the defensive matchup, allowing Randolph to defend Whiteside and letting Gasol Jr. to match Davis.

The result of this adjustment is that Whiteside did not adjust well in the confrontation with Randolph, and fell into a foul crisis early.

Jokic can't play yet, and the Pelicans' inside line collapsed a little after Whiteside.

And the Grizzlies' mid-season traded substitute Jeff Green ushered in an explosion, and he scored a Grizzlies-high 24 points.

In the end, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Pelicans 97-93, tying the series at 1-1.

In this game, the Grizzlies proved their competitiveness in the playoffs and also grabbed the home court advantage of the series from the Pelicans.

In the press conference after the game, Zach Randolph couldn't hide the smile on his face.

In this game, he scored a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds.

"We knew the Pelicans' Game 1 touch wasn't going to be the norm, and like I said at the beginning, I knew we were going to win the series."

The 1-1 situation is somewhat different from what the fans expected after the last game, but for the coaching staff and players of the Pelicans, this is not an unacceptable ending.

After all, the opponent is the most difficult Grizzlies in the playoffs. You can't really let the Grizzlies win a game.

However, after tying the score and gaining home court advantage, the Grizzlies fans were quite excited.

They're really good at this down-and-up matchup, and the Pelicans series seems to be headed in that direction right now.

Two days later, the two teams moved to Memphis to continue the series.

Before the start of the game, local fans in Memphis frantically poured into the FedEx Arena. The enthusiasm of the fans here is not lower than that in New Orleans.

Outside the arena, fans put their excitement into words.

Many fans shot at the camera, shouted frantically to help the home team, and posted on social media.

"We are the Pelicans' nemesis!"

"Welcome to the playoffs! This is our stage!"

"Don, you can't get revenge on us, just like Kevin Durant! You have no chance to get revenge on the Spurs!"

...

In the locker room before the match, Tang Tian was in the locker room preparing for the match.

"Don, do you see all those social media accounts of Memphis fans?"

McGee took the mobile phone and said to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took a look at the phone, smiled after reading it, and returned it to McGee.

"Javier, don't be distracted to watch these before the game, focus on the game."

Tang Tian said very disapprovingly.

When these fans clamored, they compared him to Durant, which made him a little uncomfortable.

But he can't show this emotion. The Pelicans are a young team, and his boss' emotions can easily affect the players.

McGee nodded after listening, smiled and threw the phone aside.

Tang Tian's relaxed posture also boosted the morale of the Pelicans.

The game is about to start, and players from both sides have come to the court one after another.

Tang Tian noticed that Aminu kept patting his chest there.

In the last game, he scored 24 points against Green, and he was obviously dissatisfied with his performance.

Tang Tian went over and patted him on the shoulder to let him relax.

Although he couldn't start because he couldn't develop a three-pointer, his defense is still tough enough.

Green ate dumplings in the last game, it is impossible to eat dumplings all at once.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams appeared one after another.

As in the previous two games, there were no adjustments to the starters on both sides.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, Gasol Jr. turned the ball back to the Grizzlies half, officially kicking off Game 3 of the series.

Conley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Randolph had a small pick-and-roll with Gasol inside. After he switched to Whiteside, he turned his back and asked for the ball.

Conley puts the ball in, and Randolph gouges in a few times before turning and leaning back toward the baseline.

Whiteside jumped out very hard, but Randolph's receding range was large enough and his release point was high enough.

"Shua!"

The ball fell heavily into the net pocket after crossing a high parabola.

Randolph opened the scoring for the Grizzlies.

After the goal, Randolph was emotional and shouted at Whiteside who was defending him.

"Welcome to the playoffs, lad!"

Whiteside frowned slightly when he heard Randolph's shout.

He was made very uncomfortable by Randolph in the last game, and this time Randolph took the initiative to shout and made him even more uncomfortable.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian double-teamed the ball to Ariza, who missed a three-pointer.

Whiteside used his long arm to pick off the offensive rebound inside, directly confronted Randolph and then layup.

Although Randolph is shorter than Whiteside, he is really tough enough. He used his body to resist Whiteside's layup and grabbed the defensive rebound.

"No way! This is my territory!"

After grabbing the rebound, Randolph turned around and yelled at Whiteside again.

Thanks to woofer, such a pure uncle for the reward.
