Chapter six hundred and seventy-eight two people with different characters
The three sets of matches that have been confirmed in the second round, and the Pelicans and Spurs' matches have attracted much attention.
To say that NBA is so wonderful, just like his slogan, where.amzing.hen (the miracle happens here).
The Pelicans successfully revenge the Grizzlies in the first round, and Tang Tian will usher in his revenge battle in the second round.
Time has slowly surfaced the truth. In the past two years, the truth about the Spurs giving up Tang Tian has gradually surfaced.
So whether Tang Tian wants to do it or not, this is his revenge battle.
And this is also the favorite part of fans and the media.
A superstar who was abandoned by the parent team, fought with the parent team in the playoffs, and if he succeeded, he would break the dream of the parent team's dynasty.
There is no better script than this.
Of course, the premise is that the Pelicans can really win, otherwise Tang Tian would become the best background emperor.
This ending is another story.
The Pelicans and Spurs game is two days later.
The Pelicans have gained the second advantage in the regular season, and they can still wait for the Spurs to come in New Orleans.
Just as they were preparing for the battle, the Rockets and Clippers' tiebreak battle was also over.
It's a bit like the Pelicans who played against the Grizzlies before. After losing Game 6, the Clippers' anger was gone. They completely defeated the Rockets in the tiebreak battle.
In this way, the Rockets became the 9th team to finally make a comeback while falling behind 1-3.
They will also face the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.
All four semi-final matches were released, with the Spurs and Pelicans, the Cavaliers and the Knicks playing first.
The New Orleans Arena is full and fans look even more excited than they did in the first round.
The Pelicans became stronger and more stable after experiencing the first round. They had the ability to wrestle the Spurs even in the playoffs.
And according to pre-match news, Jokic will also make a comeback in this game.
This makes them more confident in the game.
At the beginning of the game, Tang Tian and Davis continued their outstanding performance in the first round, leading the Pelicans to lead the Spurs 27-21 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Jokic replaced the court, which attracted cheers from the fans on the scene.
After playing a good rookie season, fans have very high expectations for him.
After Jokic came on the court, he first missed a three-point open position, and then he was scored 2+1 by Dior on the defensive end. His form did not look very good.
However, he quickly adjusted his state, first assisting Dinwiddie to make a layup, and then defended Ginobili to make a cut and layup on the defensive end.
And the second time he seized the opportunity, received a pass from Dinwiddie and hit an open three-pointer at the top of the arc.
Tang Tian was delighted when he saw this.
Before in Memphis, he saw that Jokic was not feeling well when he was practicing in the training hall, and he was worried that he would not be able to find his accuracy after his comeback.
But now it seems that Jokic's ability to adjust is even better than he thought.
I found my feelings in just a few rounds.
However, when he returned to the defensive end, he was fouled by Ginobili's layup.
This is his second foul in this quarter.
Tang Tian turned around and looked at Popovich standing next door in the half. The old man was so ruthless.
Jokic played for more than 4 minutes in this quarter, scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and fouls, and performed very well.
His help to the Pelicans' substitute stage is still very obvious.
After halftime, the Pelicans also led the Spurs by 9 points 55-46.
If you continue to play at this pace, you will have great hope of winning the first game.
The home commentator is also optimistic, believing that the Pelicans will continue their outstanding form in the first round and get a good start.
However, in the second half, there was a problem with the Pelicans' inside line, and the person with the problem was Whiteside.
He did not have foul problems like the previous game, but instead played very anxiously, and wanted to attack when he got the ball, and so on the defensive end.
There was even a performance of losing the defensive position because of wanting to block.
This allowed the Spurs to seize the opportunity, catch up with the score and finally reversed the Pelicans 103-99 to win the game.
Tang Tian and Davis performed normally, with the former having 29 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, the latter having 19 points, 11 rebounds, and Jokic also had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
Whiteside's data is also good, with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.
But fans who have watched the game and the Pelicans players know that Whiteside made various misses and strong attacks in the second half of this game, and played very poorly.
As long as he plays a little better, the Pelicans will basically win the game.
Speaking of which, Jokic played well, Whiteside's performance was poor, and the two were really a bit incompatible with each other.
Being reversed, the atmosphere in the Pelicans' locker room after the game was very dull.
This kind of game that can clearly win but lose is really unpleasant.
Everyone knows who is responsible, but they also know Whiteside's character, and no one can speak.
Tang Tian called Whiteside and took him outside the locker room.
"Hasan, you need to be patient. You forgot that I told you, is the first priority of the center's goal to protect the basket? It doesn't matter how many shots you have."
Tang Tian began to say in a calm tone.
Whiteside nodded, but didn't seem to care too much.
When Tang Tian saw his attitude, his tone became a little more serious.
"You forgot what you said, are you going to earn a big contract for yourself next year and then buy a huge house that can live in your family?"
Tang Tian said something Whiteside cared about.
“I know those.”
Whiteside looked a little impatient.
Tang Tian has said these words to him too many times.
And what he did was what Tang Tian said, but he just couldn't say it out.
If you want to get a big contract, you must have good data, and the most powerful thing that reflects his role is blocking data.
But the Spurs played very reasonably, and there were few people who broke through the basket. He could not get it without taking any risks.
Not to mention that Jokic played so well when he came back, which put him in greater pressure.
Seeing Whiteside's reaction, Tang Tian frowned.
He was no longer angry, but was a little disappointed.
Whiteside listened to him very much at the beginning, but now his wings are hard and he has started to have his own ideas.
In fact, if Whiteside didn't say it, Tang Tian also knew the little things he was thinking about.
He really wanted to give this guy a chestnut to his head.
This guy is not smart and really treats the general managers of other teams as fools. He can clearly see the data he copied and the data he made in the video.
"Hasan, put away your damn distractions. We're playing in the playoffs, if you still want to continue playing."
Tang Tian finally said harsh words.
