Davis also has extra free throws, and he made perfect shots after the opening game!

13 to 10!

The Pelicans lead the Spurs by 3 points!

This is the first time since the series!

After the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Spurs 10 points 32-22.

Instead of falling behind in the first quarter, he gained a double-digit lead, which is also the first time since the Pelicans' series!

At the end of the festival, the fans on the scene cheered for the home team in unison.

They really saw the possibility of winning!

However, when he came back from the second quarter, Leonard appeared at the beginning, bringing the Spurs quickly approaching the score.

The Pelicans' ability to lead so much for the first time is related to Davis' outstanding performance, but also to Leonard's early outcome.

Now that Leonard is back, he can clearly feel that the backbone of the Spurs has also been back.

Stevens rotated early, and the two teams were in a stalemate.

After halftime, the score on the field was 53.

The Spurs' overall strength is still better than the Pelicans.

The advantage established in the first quarter was smeared at halftime. If the Pelicans continued to win at this pace, it was still very difficult for the Pelicans to win.

It is even challenging to maintain such a deadlock in front of you. You must know that Leonard has excellent adjustment skills and does not even have a foul in the second quarter.

In the second half, the Pelicans no longer had the chance of Leonard being away like the first quarter.

"I believe the Spurs will be the championship this season."

At the end of the half, even Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Yes, the Pelicans performed well enough in the first half, but the Spurs still tied the score. They had a balanced offense and defense, and had no weaknesses."

O'Neal nodded and agreed.

"Yes, the last team like this was the Pelicans. At that time, Don, Holiday, Ariza, Davis, Jokic, and they completed the championship."

Barkley followed.

"So they will win their championship just like the Pelicans."

Kenny Smith's final summary is quite conservative.

Because no one knows whether Antetokounmpo will continue to evolve, or how high the upper limit of Doncic is, or whether Tang Tian returns on a whim one day.

There are too many variables in the future, but what they can now determine is that the Spurs are most likely to win the championship this season.

Just as they were talking, a sharp-eyed fan noticed that Tang Tian went to the Pelicans locker room, and when he was halfway through the break, he turned back.

No one knows what he did.

After returning from the break at halftime, Stevens changed the lineup again, replaced Brogdon with Gasol, and pushed Durant to the second position.

This completely let Durant play the role of Tang Tian.

From this change of formation, we can also see the pressure Stevens is carrying now. He is also very clear about the reason for leading the first quarter, and the result in the second quarter.

Continuing the rhythm of the first half, the Pelicans will most likely lose, and they will take the initiative to make a gamble. This seems to be his style.

When the Spurs came back in the second half, Leonard made a mid-range shot with Aldridge's cover.

He continued his outstanding form in the first half.

Turning back, Durant's single shot against George failed.

After all, Durant can't treat George as air. He has limited advantages when he beat George one-on-one.

There was a turmoil on the sidelines.

One offense and one defense. Although the Pelicans made adjustments, the Spurs took the initiative as quickly as the start of the second half.

The Pelicans changed the situation in the first half with Davis' outstanding performance and Leonard's two fouls.

But it is difficult to have a second chance like this.

Leonard continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt and called for pick-and-roll.

Just then, Stevens waved and the Pelicans' defense changed.

At the moment when the pick-and-roll was formed, Davis ignored Aldridge and went directly to double-team Leonard.

Tang Tian went to communicate with Stevens in midfield, and the two of them focused on the issue of Leonard double-teaming.

Goals are Leonard's only weakness, but they are also points that can be targeted.

When Tang Tian was targeted by the entire alliance, now Tang Tian retires, it's Leonard's turn.

This move did work. Leonard could not make the ball when he doubled the team, and he didn't want to take a hasty move, but Gasol and Davis were defended tightly.

At the last moment, he had to be forced to call for a pause.

Popovich looked a little unhappy with a dark face, after all, it only took more than two minutes to start the second half.

However, this also gave him a signal that the Pelicans were preparing to double-team against Leonard in the second half.

After the timeout, Leonard changed from having a ball to not having a ball, and Popovich's adjustment was very timely.

However, Leonard is not Tang Tian, ​​his threat of no ball is obviously smaller than that of a ball.

Leonard used Aldridge to cut to the basket, and White passed the ball with a hit.

"Bang!"

Davis made a direct interception from the side!

This happened very suddenly, and after Davis intercepted the ball, he passed it to Holiday on the spot, and Holiday scored 2 points in a fast break.

55 square meters!

On the scene, the Pelicans only tied the score difference, but in terms of momentum, the Pelicans have already begun to be imposing.

Leonard ran away without the ball in the frontcourt, and White did not dare to pass the ball randomly. In the end, he and Aldridge broke through and made a layup with a pick-and-roll.

But just as he broke through, a figure flew to help defend.

It's Davis again!

"Bang!"

A big nail board hat!

After Stevens put Davis back to the fourth position, his assisted defense ability began to show.

After blocking the shot, he also gave the ball to Holiday next to him as soon as possible and buried his head.

The Pelicans' 4-for-3 in the frontcourt, and then 3-for-2 in 2. Brogden made a false breakthrough and a true pass to Davis in the middle.

Davis pressed the ball into the basket through Forbes.

"Bang!"

Today’s five best balls!

Davis nailed the big hat and quickly hit Huashan with a dunk!

The entire New Orleans Arena was in a boil.

Although this ball was only 2 points, it was as powerful as a rainbow and heart-stirring.

Davis was already brave enough in the first half and had such a strong performance in the second half.

Davis is really different tonight!

Tang Tian also reached out to applaud Davis's ball just now. His and Stevens' strategy and Davis' courage, the Pelicans' winning turn turned into reality little by little!

Leonard held the ball in the frontcourt and grabbed the shot before the double team.

"Bang!"

Crashing the frame out!

After Leonard was double-teamed, he would use his phone and his scoring efficiency declined!

He is paying tuition!

Looking back, Durant and Davis picked and rolled, Durant broke through Davis, and Davis made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Davis' three-pointer!

Davis is cheating tonight!

60 to 55!

Leonard is still on the court, but the Pelicans still widen the gap!

The Spurs made a mistake in their busy schedule. George made a mistake in passing and was directly intercepted by Holiday. The latter made a one-stop fast break to the frontcourt and scored another 2 points!

The difference has reached 7 points!

When the Spurs were given a bench on the spot, Popovich's face turned from red to black, and then turned ashen.
Chapter completed!
