Chapter 703: It's always Smith's ass who suffers
That night, the Pelicans and Warriors game continued to kick off at the New Orleans Arena.
The Pelicans continued their outstanding form in the last game and were in a stalemate with the Warriors throughout the first half.
The situation changed the same as the first two games of the series, but it happened in the Warriors' iconic third quarter.
But this time the person who went wild was not Curry but Thompson.
Cole used five small teams at the beginning of the second half, and Thompson was in a good position. He made 6 three-pointers in this quarter and scored 20 points in a single quarter.
Under his leadership, the Warriors played the Pelicans 42-27 in this quarter.
Moreover, there were many controversial penalties in this section, with more than one moving pick-and-roll not blown.
The Pelicans' new tactics can be stalemate with the Warriors, but it is difficult to reverse.
In particular, Jokic's disadvantages on the defensive end and the lack of experience in the five small lineups are unchangeable for a while.
In the end, the Pelicans failed to turn the situation around and lost Game 4 101-113.
Thompson scored the Warriors' highest 40 points.
His rampage allowed the Warriors to take a 3-1 lead in the series score and also scored a match point.
The game is not over yet, and fans on the hotline are already talking.
"I heard that after Thompson's trip to China last time, the fans there gave him a nickname for Buddha. According to them, Thompson's performance in this game was full of Buddha's light."
"This game, Curry's defense was very good. Don even defended him alone for a while, but Thompson became the winner of the game."
"Did no one complain about Green's pick-and-roll? He was almost walking in the pick-and-roll, and the referee actually pretended that he didn't see it. This was incredible!"
"So this is where Green's confidence comes from such a big mouth? From the favor of the alliance, Xiao Hua's blessing?"
...
After the game, Green looked proud at the post-match press conference.
"I said we'll end the series in five games, and now there's the last one left."
"Are you sure?" the reporter asked.
"Is there anything uncertain? There is no reason why we don't end the next series, if not, my name is written upside down."
Green is really exaggerated.
But this time he had enough confidence, because after four games, he would return to Oakland in the next game.
They have not lost at home since they entered the playoffs. They are leading 3-1 and have no reason to lose the next game.
After the press conference, Green and Curry walked out together.
"Draymond, let's keep a low profile."
Curry was also very happy to win the game, but he couldn't stand Green's big mouth.
"No, we need this kind of momentum, and do you think we will lose in the end?"
Green asked Curry.
Curry smiled, he could only answer this.
"Let us enjoy the pleasure of winning the opponent at home!"
Green said confidently with Curry's shoulder.
Curry smiled bitterly and shook his head. Sometimes this guy, Green, is very popular, but sometimes it is really speechless.
Green's post-match speech made fans even more talked about on social media, and even Spinach Company got involved.
They opened the handicap to whether the Warriors can end the series within five games.
More than 70% of fans bought it.
Although the Pelicans reversed the Spurs 1-3 before, this time, most people think that the Pelicans' playoff journey will end in the next game.
However, the morale of the Pelicans is much better than when they were 1-3 behind the Spurs.
Although the Warriors are much stronger than the Spurs, they have completed a 1-3 reversal and then experienced this situation and lost their previous panic.
At worst, you can make another 1-3 reversal, right?
After two days off, the Pelicans flew to Oakland and they will compete with the Warriors in Game 5 at Oracle Arena.
Due to the heated discussions from the outside world and the help of Spinach Company, the attention this game has received unprecedented.
The New Orleans Arena is open to the public for free on the away game without any prior experience. Fans flocked to the stadium and watched the broadcast through the LED screen on the spot.
Not to mention the audience waiting in front of the TV.
According to TNT's real-time data monitoring, the game's ratings exceeded the peak of the Pelicans and Spurs' Game 6, setting a new record in the playoffs this year.
Before the game started, the three tnt giants in the commentary seat had already begun to warm up in advance.
"The Warriors will end the game within five games."
Barkley spoke as soon as he came up.
"That guy Draymond said."
But his next sentence made O'Neal and Smith laugh.
After losing so many times, Ba Jue Ye still felt unconfident.
"Hey, Charles, we have to bet something, or it would be too boring to win you every time."
O'Neal was really not afraid of it, and when it comes to the last bet, the person who dunked in a custom pink skirt was Barkley.
"bring it on!"
Barkley slapped the table. Although he was unsure, he never lost.
"I remember you and Kenny bet on Yao's ass kissing."
O'Neal spoke.
Barkley and Smith burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Shake, you can't always mention this."
Barkley said to O'Neal in a laugh that such things that keep revealing others' shortcomings are not kind.
"No, no, we bet on this again this time. The loser kissed Kenny's butt, and this time it cannot be replaced by donkey butt. No, it cannot be replaced by any other butt."
O'Neal continued.
Barkley continued to laugh after hearing this.
Smith stopped smiling instantly and looked at O'Neal with an interrupted expression.
Why, it's him again!
And why, it's his butt again!
Who did his butt offend him?
"Okay, that's all!"
After Barkley finished laughing, he slapped the table and agreed directly.
This time he has absolute confidence in the Warriors. If O'Neal can finally let O'Neal kiss Smith's butt in public, then all those who lost before will be won back!
Smith turned to look at Barkley, looking at a black question mark.
You two have not asked me for my opinion yet!
But it seems that Barkley and O'Neal didn't care about his opinion at all.
Just as Barkley and O'Neal reached an agreement and Smith was protesting loudly, the players from both sides came out of the player channel.
When Green came out, he smiled and signaled to the audience.
Cheers were constantly coming.
As an opponent or a fan of the opponent, Du Green gritted his teeth in hatred, and wanted to press him to the ground and beat him up.
But as Warriors fans, they are their favorite of Green in the future.
Green is pretending to behave like they are pretending to behave. The feeling that you feel uncomfortable when you look at me but can't beat me is really indescribable.
