Chapter 1162 The Fake Pelicans
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
Cole stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips and his brows furrowed.
Green and Brogdon hit three-pointers one after another, which is by no means good news for the Warriors.
Green's confidence before the game and his self-confidence stemmed from the opening game. The Pelicans couldn't shoot from the outside, so they just tried their best to double-team and restrict Tang Tian.
But if the Pelicans shoot from the outside, it's another story.
In other words, if the Pelicans can shoot well outside, it won't matter whether they have Walker, Butler, or even Davis.
The thing that the Pelicans have at the bottom of the box is that the shooter opens up Tang Tian for singles.
Because Tang Tian had extremely strong personal attack power, this tactic was unsolvable.
Curry showed great strength and scored a super long three-pointer against Brogdon's defense.
The atmosphere at Oracle Arena was immediately ignited.
And in the next round, Tang Tian returned the ball to Dedmon at the top of the arc. Dedmon's three-point shot was blocked, and the rebound was collected by Cousins.
Cole was slightly relieved to see this.
The Pelicans' outside touch recovery was not rushed and the point difference on the field was only 3 points.
Just as he was thinking about it, after Curry caught the ball in the frontcourt and flew to Brogdon, he broke into the inside and shot Dedmon.
After making two free throws, the Warriors narrowed the point difference to 1 point.
When Cole saw this, he walked back to the bench and sat down with peace of mind.
Although Green's changes made him a little uncomfortable, Curry's condition looks very good, and the Warriors still have a good chance of winning the game tonight!
Tang Tian continued to score points in the frontcourt. This time it was Green who received the ball, also in the bottom corner, but from the left to the right.
The position is different, but his shooting rhythm is the same as before, and it looks smooth.
"Uh-huh!"
The final result was the same as the previous ball, hitting the net hollow!
If you dare to let go, I will dare to enter if you dare to vote!
Green swept away the sluggishness of the opening game. He made two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, and they were both hollow goals!
This is bringing out the Spurs' peak state!
And just like his performance in the preseason, he verified what Tang Tian said.
If you want him to perform well, just give him a super giant!
Cole... His butt was still hot and he stood up again.
Green's touch is very troublesome.
You must know that in the 2013~2014 season finals, he was the one who scored 25 three-pointers in 5 games, breaking the finals three-pointer record.
Iguodala missed a three-pointer from the frontcourt, and Tang Tian protected the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt again, and the Warriors' defense adjusted.
Iguodala followed Green wholeheartedly.
After seeing this, Tang Tian called Dedmon for a pick-and-roll, squeezed past Cousins, rushed into the paint, and smashed the ball into the basket through Gay.
With his style of play and personal ability, he doesn't need to miss everyone from the outside. Someone can keep him in check and he can go straight in.
The scene was agitated.
Tang Tian's fighting style is so cruel and unreasonable!
Fortunately, the Warriors felt good tonight. Thompson used Cousins' screen to catch the ball and hit a three-point answer ball.
16 to 19, the Warriors failed to guard the Pelicans, but they were in good offensive form and played evenly with the Pelicans.
Cole also breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
But his butt was not yet hot. Siakam received Tang Tian's pass and scored a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right!
It's open, it's open!
Green's consecutive three-pointers made him wonder whether the Pelicans were open from the outside, but Siakam's three-pointer told him that it was really open!
In less than half a quarter from the start, the Pelicans have already scored 4 three-pointers from the outside!
Cole reached out and called a timeout.
Trouble is coming for the Warriors.
It’s a multiple-choice question, but it seems like you’ll die no matter which one you choose.
Cole didn't believe in evil in the previous period and chose to bet on the Pelicans' outside touch, but tonight the Pelicans' outside touch is really hot.
He had no choice but to make another choice.
After the timeout, the Warriors replaced Cousins with Green. This was to strengthen the rotation speed of the defense.
Green came up and threw a three-pointer from the outside.
"Bang!"
Blacksmithing.
His hands felt good when he started, but after sitting on the court for so long, his hands were already cold.
Cole really wanted to curse.
Back on the defensive end, Tang Tian holds the ball, and Thompson and Iguodala double-team Tang Tian.
Cole's defensive thinking was very clear. Before Tang Tian started to break through, he double-teamed him and forced him to play the ball.
The current Pelicans team is not the four brothers who worked hard last season, and their tacit understanding is not that good.
Cole's judgment was correct, but Tang Tian didn't do what he thought.
Facing a double team, Tang Tian pulled the ball back sharply, then broke through from the right, grabbing the right side and rushing over.
Butterfly step through flowers! Nothing beats it!
After all, Iguodala is older and his reaction is obviously slower.
By the time he reacted, Tang Tian had already penetrated the penalty area.
Cousins is not here, and there is only Green under the basket.
Seeing Tang Tian rushing towards him, he jumped into the air.
Green... chose to avoid it.
The fans at the scene were in disbelief.
Is this their Grimm?
"Bang!"
Tang Tian hit the ball hard into the basket with a big windmill.
Oracle Arena was in uproar.
Basically no one could stop Tang Tian when he charged, but Green's dodge was too smart.
If it weren't for that face, they all thought the man on the field wasn't the real Green!
Cole finally suppressed the curse words that came to his lips.
He bears a large part of the responsibility for Green's current changes.
If it hadn't been for his private instructions, Green wouldn't have done anything wrong, and he wouldn't have become a zero egg.
In the Warriors' frontcourt attack, Green assisted Thompson on a layup and scored two points.
He is still effective offensively.
However, Tang Tian turned around to find Dedmon for a pick-and-roll, squeezed Green and rushed in.
The Warriors didn't dare to shrink, so Tang Tian squeezed Green away for a layup, and even caused Green's pulling foul!
Green finally took action defensively, but it looked weak.
Cole turned around and called Looney up. He had no hope for Green tonight.
There was a whistle on the sidelines, and Green was replaced again by Looney.
Tang Tian hit the target with extra penalties.
27 to 18, the Pelicans opened the point difference to 9 points.
Curry's throw helped the Warriors continue to increase points, but looking back, Tang Tian assisted Brogdon and scored another three-pointer from the outside.
The Pelicans' fifth three-pointer in the first quarter!
Now everyone can believe that what Tang Tian said at the post-match press conference of the opening game is the truth!
The Pelicans players found their touch and form really quickly!
It only took them two days to get there!
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 40-24.
Although Curry scored 13 points in a single quarter, the Pelicans expanded their lead to 16 points in this quarter!
“Fake Pelicans.”
This comment from fans on the hotline was rushed to like.
In the opening game, the Pelicans frequently played hard from the outside, and many fans joked that this was the real Pelicans.
Now that the Pelicans are feeling better again, Pelicans fans are directly using this meme!
