Chapter 952 The Pelicans Were Eliminated

The crowd cheered and applauded again.

However, Tang Tian's changes can also be seen in his words.

In his speech before the wedding, the last person he thanked was the fans, but now it is his wife who he thanks.

Just like when he attended the post-match press conference with his two sons, he has moved from a young man after time travel to a middle-aged uncle.

For him, who had been single all his life, this was a brand new experience.

Immediately after the award ceremony was the opening ceremony, with the starters from both sides taking the stage one after another.

Both teams have continued their starting lineups from the past three games, still using small lineups.

After seeing the Pelicans' lineup, Cole gradually became more confident.

The Pelicans didn't make a big move, which is good news for him and the Warriors.

Davis beat Green in the jump, officially kicking off the game.

Tang Tian broke through with the ball in the frontcourt.

The Warriors' strategy is the same as in the previous games, still insisting on double-teaming.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Davis under the basket, and Davis suppressed Green's close shot.

The rhythm of the ball release is very good, just like the training during the day, I am in good condition.

However, the ball slid around the basket and rolled out again!

Green grabbed a defensive rebound.

The Pelicans' first wave of offense came to nothing!

Looking back, Curry's shot through the basket caused a defensive foul, and he made two free throws to open the scoring for the Warriors.

Tang Tian was double-teamed in the frontcourt and hit one of his own. The trajectory and strength of the ball were very good, but the ball still rolled out after spinning around the basket for two times.

The Warriors counterattacked, and Green squeezed through the double double teams of Davis and Ariza to take a shot.

This shot was very difficult, and Green's shot was obviously a bit biased.

But after the ball bounced on the basket a few times, it still rolled in!

These opening rounds became a microcosm of the entire first half of the game between the two sides.

The Pelicans' players were in great shape, but many must-goals didn't go in.

On the other hand, on the Warriors' side, all the bumped balls finally went in.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Pelicans by a full 15 points, 50-35.

This is also the largest half-time point difference between the two sides in the series.

If the last two goals in the previous two games only made people think that they might be related to Jordan's mouth, then this one is completely solid.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Pelicans are in good shape, but the ball just can't go in as if it's being manipulated.

Forget about one game, for the third consecutive game, Jordan is really toxic!

Tatum looked on from the stands and shook his head helplessly.

He has tried his best to help Tang Tian, ​​but this metaphysical thing is really beyond human power.

The fans at the scene were extremely excited. There is a high probability that the Warriors will get the match point 3-1 tonight and take the initiative in the entire series!

In the Pelicans midfield locker room, the players were in an extremely frustrated mood.

If you are in a bad state, you can still adjust yourself, but if you are in a good state but can't score, it really feels like there is no reason to make sense.

"Fuck you Michael!"

Stephenson couldn't hold it back and swore directly.

On the one hand, it is because of the team's lagging situation, and on the other hand, he is now out of the rotation, and it is natural for him to be irritable.

Tang Tian was sitting next to him. He reached out and patted Stephenson on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so excited.

Then, he stood up from his seat.

The performance in the first half can really only be described as metaphysical, and it cannot even be solved by pouring chicken soup.

So instead of talking to the players, he got up and walked out of the locker room and went to the coach's office.

He knocked on the door and went in. Inside, Stevens and Gentry were discussing strategies for the second half.

Seeing that it was Tang Tian, ​​Stevens directly motioned for him to sit down.

The two of them have been working together for two years and have a tacit understanding. They no longer need too many polite words.

Gentry, on the other hand, was a little surprised to see Tang Tian come in.

The Pelicans' tactics this season are relatively simple. He has never seen Tang Tian and Stevens discussing tactics before.

"We can only start defensively, force the Warriors to make turnovers, and then hit the counterattack."

Tang Tian opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

If you have metaphysics, try to minimize your shots. Dunks and layups will always go in.

"If you get into a positional battle, try to hit the basket as much as possible so that you won't be counterattacked by your opponent."

Stevens quickly understood Tang Tian's thoughts and then spoke.

Tang Tian nodded, and the tacit understanding between the two people was about to catch up with the couple. They knew what they were going to do after a slap on the butt.

Gentry was a little stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, what Tang Tian and Stevens said was indeed the best way to deal with it now.

After formulating a rough idea and then refining it, Stevens quickly went straight to the locker room with the tactical board and took the time to lay out the tactics.

"I didn't expect you to understand tactics that well."

On the way to the locker room, Gentry couldn't help but said to Tang Tian.

"You'll get used to it."

Tang Tian replied calmly.

Gentry was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

This invisible and forced pretense.

The halftime break was quick, and within the first five minutes of the second half, players from both sides returned to the court one after another.

Back in the second half, the Warriors took the lead.

The Pelicans' defense put a lot of pressure on them, but Curry had a big heart and scored a three-pointer at the buzzer against Holiday.

The point difference has reached 18 points. If it breaks the 20-point mark, the game will basically be wasted.

Looking back, Holiday rushed to the basket, and the ball missed the back edge of the basket. Davis' tip-in also missed the basket.

The rebound was finally protected by Green.

"This is not their night."

In the commentary box, Brin sighed.

He has seen too many games, and the Pelicans were really unlucky tonight.

Throughout the first half, the basket seemed to be blocking them. I thought that in the second half, the situation would be better in another half, but the result was still the same.

Like he said, the rim denied the Pelicans the ball tonight and this was not their night.

"I now believe that Michael can no longer speak freely."

Miller said with a smile.

He has a good relationship with Jordan, and only he can say such teasing things.

Brin also laughed after hearing this.

Ever since Jordan was optimistic about the Pelicans, the Pelicans have been losing all the way. As of tonight, no one would believe it unless they said it was poisonous.

"It's such a shame for them, especially Don, what a season he had."

Brin said with regret.

It sounds like a pity that the unanimous MVP missed the championship.

"But this is the NBA. Not everyone is Michael. Don is very strong, but facts have proven that Don is not Michael, and not everyone can achieve dynasty."

Miller continued.

He had fought with Jordan all his life and knew how strong that man was.

He once felt that Tang Tian was very close, but from the current situation, he still underestimated Jordan.
