Chapter 492 The answer to the fifth position?(1/2)
Williams stretched his brows and nodded.
This round, I was considered to be defensive.
However, Anderson still failed to make the move outside the three-point line in the frontcourt, and the Pelicans still couldn't continue the score.
Williams turned around and called Tang Tian and Davis, and replaced them in advance.
After Brooks saw it there, he also called Ibaka and Durant.
Neither side regarded this as an ordinary regular season game, but was really fighting like a bayonet.
Jackson's breakthrough caused Anderson's defensive foul.
The game entered a dead ball, and both sides replaced each other.
Tang Tian and Davis replaced Roberts and Morrow, while Ibaka and Durant replaced Corrison and Butler.
Durant received the ball in the frontcourt, and the person who guarded him was Davis.
Williams implemented his tactical thinking, which was to prevent Tang Tian from spending too much energy on the defensive end.
Durant broke through Davis head-on and made a big lap at the basket.
However, Davis was disturbed by the moment he took action, and the ball slipped out of the basket.
Procopio's original analysis was correct. Davis was the large Durant. Although his speed was a little inferior, his wingspan made up for this within a certain range.
He has a very strong ability to defend against small ones.
After Davis defended, he took advantage of the situation to catch the defensive rebounds, and the Pelicans directly played fast break.
The Thunder's retreat is fast, but the Pelicans attack faster.
After Davis finished blocking, he quickly stepped down and actually followed!
Tang Tian cut from the right to receive the ball, and saw that Davis had followed him in the middle, so he threw the ball over the basket.
Davis took off into the air, grabbed the ball in the air and smashed it down.
Jackson dodged at the basket.
"Bang!"
Davis scored a dunk directly!
"This is the future of the Pelicans!"
Smith exclaimed in the commentary seat.
Tang Tian is able to pass the ball with both offense and defense, and Davis is able to defend and fast attack speed. The two are really indefinitely fit.
The Pelicans finally scored!
Durant continued to ask for the ball to play singles in the frontcourt. This time he deliberately avoided Davis and then made a layup with his left hand to score the ball.
In addition to the confrontation, it also needs to be strengthened. Durant is almost completely in other aspects. Davis is unlikely to be able to really defend him.
Tang Tian singled Lamb in the front court, and continued to move forward and backward to shake off Lamb and pull out his hand.
"Swish!"
Facing his former college teammates, he showed no mercy and directly raised his sword.
The Pelicans took the lead 30-29!
After experiencing the substitute connection at the beginning of the second quarter, Tang Tian and Durant began to score again!
This year's scoring champion is really hard to get!
Durant played against Davis in the frontcourt and still made a big layup.
Whiteside wanted to block, but was directly called a defensive foul.
Whiteside is still a little immature.
Moreover, the big loop is second only to Harden's scoring weapon, and it is not so easy to prevent success.
Durant made both free throws, and the Thunder took the lead 31-30 again!
The scores on both sides rose alternately, and the situation was extremely anxious.
Gordon made a breakthrough and turned around and Durant broke through Davis in the frontcourt.
Davis' height and wingspan are not inferior to him, and speed is his biggest advantage.
However, Davis' physical talent is really strong. Although he has a disadvantage in speed, he is not much worse. The interference pressure from behind him is quite high.
Durant dodged and made a layup.
"Bang!"
Just then Whiteside made a sudden move and slapped him a big hot pot!
The front single defense cannot be covered, but the two of them cooperated with each other and still covered the ball!
Davis smiled and high-high with Whiteside.
He was still worried about whether Whiteside could play in the NBA, but this was the third block in the latter quarter!
Tang Tian was also very pleased at this time.
In the draft last year, the Pelicans chose Noel, and they had the chance to form a no-fly zone with Davis.
But the management later exchanged him for Holiday. Although Holiday is very strong, it still made some fans regret it.
Especially when Tang Tian became the boss of the team and the Pelicans' inside line was empty.
But Whiteside broke out in the air, which replaced Noel and Davis to form a new no-fly zone!
Durant was a little angry. He was actually raped by a ten-day short-term worker.
After receiving the ball, he called Adams to take the pick-and-roll, hit Whiteside in a misplaced position, and directly broke through.
The big round after his confrontation took action.
"Bang!"
Whiteside slapped the ball out of the field with another big hat!
Whiteside gave Durant a series of blocks!
"holyshit! Who is he?!"
Barkley was stunned in the commentary seat.
With 4 blocks in one quarter, Whiteside's blocking ability is too terrifying!
"I don't know who he is, but his block is really good."
O'Neal nodded seriously.
"He was the second round pick in 2010 and had no performance before. He just came back from playing overseas. The interesting thing is that he just finished playing in the Chinese professional league nbl."
Kenny Smith had already found out the information at this time.
"Second round pick, China, why do I think he is so destined to be Tang? Will he become another Tang?"
Barkley continued.
"Who knows? But the Pelicans' inside line is really not very good, he has this opportunity."
Smith nodded.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Durant committed Whiteside's third personal foul.
He blocked 4 shots in one quarter, but also had 3 fouls, and his advantages and disadvantages were very obvious.
Fortunately, he looks very young.
Taking advantage of this dead ball time, both sides continued to replace players, and the main players successively replaced them.
However, Whiteside was still left on the court by Williams.
Although he has no offensive ability and has a lot of fouls, in Williams' eyes, it is much better than the other insiders.
Durant made both free throws, and the Thunder took the lead 33-32 again.
"Defense! Defense!"
During the stalemate, fans began to play at home fans and shouted in unison to cheer for the Thunder.
The Pelicans' offense in the frontcourt had no chance.
After receiving the ball this time, Tang Tian invited Whiteside to the pick-and-roll line.
Whiteside's pick-and-roll quality is average, and Adams and Sovlosa directly chose to double-team and press.
Tang Tianyun took a step back with the ball, and then threw the ball directly over the basket.
Davis was entangled with Ibaka at this time, and the ball was thrown by...
Whiteside!
When he saw Tang Tian making the ball, he was already running to the basket.
To be continued...
