Chapter 710 Thanksgiving Day Massacre (Fourth Update!)

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Tang Tian, ​​who also continued to find Jokic to play pick-and-rolls.

Just like when he beat Curry, he was going to beat Sullinger to death.

However, under the reminder of McHale on the sidelines, the Celtics did not give Tang Tian any chance to play in mismatched singles.

This time Salinger and Smart double-teamed Tang Tian.

Tang Tian lobbed the ball inward.

Jokic has a high IQ. When he saw the double team, he already cut in early. When the ball came, he took the ball and went to the basket.

Johnson came to help defend. He showed Serbia's golden right hand skills and passed the ball to Davis from close range.

Davis took the ball and took off comfortably, directly hitting a powerful two-handed slam dunk.

Anji's face looked a little ugly.

The Celtics have played excellent defense this season and have the style of a tough team in the past. However, they were dunked by the Pelicans at the beginning of the game, which looked ugly.

Sullinger continued to attack Jokic in the frontcourt, and Davis came to help defend, and he distributed the ball to Johnson.

Johnson's mid-range shot was very stable, but he didn't close the distance fast enough, and when he shot, he was interfered by Davis' return defense.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the frame and Jokic collected another defensive rebound.

The Pelicans counterattacked directly, and Tang Tian accelerated to get rid of Smart after receiving the ball.

After seeing Smart following closely, he jumped up and dunked hard with both hands, without giving Smart a chance to make a move.

Anji almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Two dunks weren't enough, a third time?

Do you really think that the Celtics are Du Fu, and the gate is now open for you?

Bradley's breakthrough layup missed. Under the high-intensity defense of the Pelicans, the Celtics failed to score in four consecutive attacks in the opening game!

Dwarfed by comparison, Stevens' ability was immediately highlighted.

When he coached the Celtics, it was not because Thomas was so talented, but because he knew how to make good use of others.

Use a reasonable defensive system to protect Thomas, and then let him become the Celtics' main offensive point and drive the team's entire offensive system.

Bradley, Crowder, and Olynyk all shined under that system.

But McHale won't use Thomas Jr., and will only focus on defense. There is a lower limit but no upper limit. When encountering a strong team's offense, he becomes extremely constipated.

Tang Tian went to the frontcourt and continued to hold the ball to find Jokic for a pick-and-roll.

With the lessons learned from the previous round, the Celtics did not dare to double-team this ball. After Tang Tian misplaced his position and faced Sullinger, he assumed a triple-threat posture.

With a tentative step, Salinger thought Tang Tian was about to make a sudden move, so he took a step back.

But Tang Tian collected the ball with his hips and pulled the ball back.

Salinger saw it and fought hard to save. At this time, he showed his flexible and fat side.

But unfortunately, this was still Tang Tian's feint. After Salinger made the save, Tang Tian made a breakthrough to the left.

Salinger tried to stop again, but his body couldn't keep up with his mind and he fell to the ground.

He was knocked down by Tang Tian's three threats!

Tang Tian looked back at Salinger and saw that he was struggling to stand up. Only then could he pull out his hand and hit the target steadily.

The Pelicans started 8-0!

There was an uproar.

Anji not only frowned, but also looked ugly.

This dunk is no longer a dunk, but this knocking someone down is even more killing!

Not to mention that look back was heart-wrenching!

Anji was very angry, but he was the general manager after all, and it was impossible for him to go off the field to direct, let alone play the game.

More than five minutes into the first quarter, the Celtics scored 2 points from Sullinger under the basket.

But at this time, the score on the court was already 15 to 2, and the Pelicans were already leading by 13 points.

Less than this point difference in half a quarter, let alone winning, the Celtics would be in trouble if they were not beaten.

This also illustrates the complementarity between superstars and top coaches.

The Pelicans' offensive system has not yet developed, and relying solely on defense, they may not be much better than the Celtics.

But Tang Tian's presence can give Stevens time to slowly adjust the lineup.

McHale had no choice but to call Thomas and Olynyk up from the bench in advance.

Thomas Jr. is very powerful. After the Pelicans' offense failed, he counterattacked defensively, broke through for a layup, caused Holiday to hit the ball, and made two free throws to score consecutive points for the Celtics.

But McHale is not Stevens after all, and he didn't spend any time studying how to protect Thomas.

Now that Salinger is gone, Tang Tian can turn around and fight with Thomas.

Tang Tian's unreasonable style of play was like a dark cloud hanging over McHale's head.

When he was coaching the Rockets, the Rockets were about to be beaten violently by Tang Tian. When he came to the Celtics, this ending was inevitable!

It's not that he is too unlucky, but that he really lacks ability as a head coach!

McHale has nothing to do with Tang Tian, ​​and the Celtics lineup can't do anything without a top coach.

After three quarters, the score on the court was 80 to 55, with the Pelicans leading by 25 points. This was really like what Popovich said at the beginning, the shit was about to come out.

Many fans left the game early during the break. No matter how loyal the fans are, they don't want to watch the home team being abused.

The ones who feel uncomfortable at this time are the players on the field and the fans who are still in the stadium.

Of course, there is also Anji. He was on the live camera before the game. He couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Stevens was quite polite. The point difference was so big that he began to bench players at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

There are 12 activated lists in a game, and the Pelicans' benches Harrell and McGee who are on the activated list in this game have already appeared.

The lineup on the field is Dinwiddie, Morrow, Bojan, Harrell and McGee.

The Celtics still have a regular rotation, with Rozier and Smart on the outside, Turner and David Lee on the forward side, and Olynyk on the center.

Although there is little hope of winning, the tradition of the Celtics is not to give up until the last minute.

The Pelicans took the lead and the players ran tactics very seriously on the court.

Tang Tian is a privileged player and can do it by himself, but the others still strictly follow Stevens' tactics.

Morrow's three-pointer hit the frame. His condition this season is not very good.

But Harrell struggled to grab the offensive rebound and forced Lee to foul.

Although he is young and not tall, he is very hardworking and tough.

He made one of two free throws, and when the second one came out, he actually ran up and dunked the ball into the basket through Li!

The fans at the scene were stunned by these 3 points. Stevens had already reserved his strength, but the Pelicans seemed to have no intention of taking action!

Facts also proved that their judgment was correct. After Turner scored two points in the frontcourt, Bo Yang turned around and hit a three-pointer without mercy.

After the Celtics launched a wave of offense, Dinwiddie assisted McGee in the frontcourt and took off for an alley-oop dunk. The point difference had already reached 30 points!

ps: The fourth update is completed, and I will strive for the fifth update tomorrow. I haven’t kept up with the updates during the Qingming Festival these two days. I will work harder in the future. Commanders, please support me with rewards and monthly votes! I love you all (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
