This time, there was less debate among fans on social media.

Unlike the Lakers before, the dominant pressure displayed by the Spurs is something that the Lakers and even the Bucks do not have.

This Spurs team is even stronger than last season and is very champion.

The Pelicans played so well with Tang Tian last season, needless to say, Tang Tian has retired now.

The score of 0 to 2 says it all.

It's too difficult for the Pelicans to defeat this Spurs.

The next two games of the series will be played in New Orleans.

For the Pelicans, if they want to retain hope of promotion, the third game is the game they must win.

Although it seems hard now.

The situation is unfavorable, but the foundation for the four consecutive championships that Tang Tian had laid before is here, and fans spoke together on social media to cheer for the Pelicans.

This is also a very rare scene, which shows the popularity of the Pelicans.

However, the training performed by the Pelicans after returning to New Orleans is closed.

When Tang Tian arrived at the training hall, he could see the pressure in the faces of the coaching staff and the players.

This is the biggest since the season.

The Spurs are much stronger than the Bucks. The Pelicans can pass it, which means they are excellent enough, and there is nothing to say if they can't pass it.

However, no matter how difficult it is, people will try their best.

After the training, Tang Tian did not look for Durant, but pulled Davis alone to chat.

Davis has performed very stably since entering the playoffs, averaging 24+11 per game, making him a very qualified second-in-command.

Even throughout the season, he did not feel dissatisfied with Durant's airborne, and it can be said that he did a perfect job.

“ad, you need to do more.”

However, the first sentence Tang Tian communicated with him was unexpected.

Davis didn't expect Tang Tian to say this to him.

"I know you've done a great job and can't even ask for more, but I think you can do better because you're ad."

Tang Tian continued the words very chicken soup.

"Boss, it's really hard for us to win this Spurs without you."

However, Davis has been with Tang Tian for a long time, and he has become immune to hearing too much chicken soup.

And what he said was the truth.

Leonard Garge and Durant are all very restricted, and no one can break it except Tang Tian.

If you take a step back, it will be their turn to win the championship in this lineup.

"I know."

To Davis' surprise, Tang Tian nodded calmly.

"But the chance of five consecutive championships is right in front of you. Are you willing to give up?"

Tang Tian said and looked at Davis.

"I don't want to, but..."

"No, but, ad, I know you and Tim have learned a lot, and Tim has taught you a lot of skills, but Tim never gives up."

Tang Tian directly interrupted Davis.

"I will never forget the scene of him shooting the floor that year. If you don't hit until the last moment, you will never know the result. If you don't work harder, you don't know how good you can be, ad, I said, I think you can do better because you are ad."

Tang Tian repeated the previous words again, but when he savored them carefully, it felt completely different.

Davis was stunned for a moment and nodded seriously.

To be honest, for so many years, because of Tang Tian, ​​he has been winning, and he has unknowingly become dependent on Tang Tian.

Even if Tang Tian retired, he had made up his mind to prove himself.

But when he really encountered a dilemma like in front of him, he still instinctively retreated.

Yes, Tang Tian is not here, I can't win such a powerful Spurs.

This is a completely normal idea.

But Tang Tian's words reminded him that he is Anthony Davis, the number one active power forward selected by the American media and the number one inside player in the United States. What he can do is more than these now.

Especially when Durant is restricted, he must stand up.

Seeing Davis's eyes change, Tang Tian knew that his words had worked.

He smiled and touched Davis' head.

If you have this attitude, even if you really can't win the Spurs in the end, you will still be honored even if you lose and die without regrets.

Two days later, the third game of the Western Conference Finals started at the New Orleans Arena.

The New Orleans Arena is full, with "Pelicans Reversal" and "Five Consecutive Championships" slogans can be seen everywhere.

Just like speaking out on social media before, despite the unfavorable situation, Pelicans fans' support for the team remains unabated.

This also boosted the originally sluggish expression of Pelicans fans.

And during the warm-up before the game, a rare scene occurred to the Pelicans.

Davis, who had always been low-key, took the initiative to gather the team members together and raised his hands to say some morale-boosting words.

Seeing this, Tang Tian felt that the Pelicans had a chance to win the game tonight.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony soon entered.

The lineups of the two teams have also been released one after another.

The Spurs are the same as in the previous games, White and Forbes on the outside, George and Leonard on the front line, and Aldridge on the center.

The Pelicans have changed their teams, Brogden and Holiday on the outside, Durant and Ariza on the front line, and Davis on the center.

Stevens took the initiative to lower the height, which was to be killed against the Spurs.

Amid the cheers of fans, Davis turned the ball back to the Pelicans' half and officially kicked off the game.

The Pelicans came up and Durant attacked first, but as soon as he received the ball, Leonard came to defend.

Durant pulled out his hand first.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, George was disturbed and his attack failed to hit him!

Aldridge protects the defensive rebounds.

The Spurs advanced to the frontcourt, and Leonard beat Ariza alone, turning around and Kobe-like bottom line backwards.

"Swish!"

The balls are firmly in the bag.

Leonard plays more and more like Kobe, but his shooting percentage is not Mamba.

Durant continued to be double-teamed with the ball in the frontcourt. This time he passed the ball in time. Holiday's fake shot from receiving the ball was beautifully swept Forbes into the inside.

Facing Aldridge, who was assisting in defense, he accelerated and slowed down with a change of rhythm and squeezed over and shot beautifully.

This ball perfectly reflects Holiday's value.

But just as he took action, a big hand came directly over. Computer terminal::/ Mobile terminal::

"Bang!"

Leonard assisted in defense with a big chase hat!

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Leonard's offense has evolved, but the defense is still unsolvable.

When Tang Tian was there, his defense was comparable to Tang Tian. Now that Tang Tian retired, he is the one with the strongest defense.

After chasing the hat, he took the opportunity to win the rebound and then turned around to a fast break.

After passing Holiday and Ariza in a row, Leonard quickly broke into the frontcourt and scored the ball against Brogden's defense.

4 to 0.

A large part of the oppressiveness of the Spurs comes from Leonard, who also confirmed this with excellent offense and defense at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
