Chapter 1241 Old Carter Dunked!

After the opening ceremony, the reactions of the Pelicans players varied.

Most players such as Green and Gasol didn't react much.

After all, for them, this is just an opening ceremony.

Brogdon and Kuzma looked as excited as they did in the locker room.

They knew and firmly believed that Tang Tian had Eastern magic.

Parker's expression was a little bitter.

He had been hiding his head all his life, but he didn't expect to be forced into it in the end.

He is so difficult!

After the Pelicans, the starters from the Lakers also appeared one after another.

It's still the same starting lineup as the previous four games.

Vogel is confident in this starting lineup.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene also expressed their confidence with ultra-high decibel volume.

Tianwangshan, playing at home, they are determined to win!

Lopez moved the ball back to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the game.

As predicted, this game broke the ratings record at the beginning.

A game that attracts global attention.

The Lakers started the game with a Jandu pick-and-roll.

This tactical arrangement also shows Vogel's desire to win tonight.

However, in the first tactical pick-and-roll, Durant, who received the ball, was closely defended by Siakam and did not get a chance to take a shot.

The Pelicans opened the game with a different defensive intensity than in the past few games.

Durant signaled to pull away and then chose to play Siakam in singles.

Siakam's defense was perfect, but Durant's personal ability is really strong, and he just used a big loop to throw Siakam away for a layup.

But at the moment he took action, Gasol actually assisted in the defense again, directly interfering and confronting him.

His shot hit the frame, and Gasol got the rebound.

Amid the excitement of the fans at the scene, the Lakers' first offense came to nothing!

And before the restlessness could subside, the Pelicans directly launched a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian held the ball on a fast break, reached the three-second zone in the frontcourt and threw a high ball directly, and then pushed Wade out of the baseline in front of him.

Siakam rose into the air, received Tang Tian's pass, and scored with an alley-oop dunk!

There was a lot of excitement in the place.

Defending the Jandu pick-and-roll and fast-break alley-oop dunks, the Pelicans attacked and defended after the start, giving them a huge power!

Vogel also felt that the Pelicans were different tonight, and got up and went to the sidelines to loudly remind the players.

James broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, Gasol helped defend, and James distributed the ball to Lopez at the top of the key.

Just as Lopez was about to take action, Carter on the weak side had already turned around to help.

The opportunity only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

The Pelicans' defense tonight was really different from the past.

Durant came over to catch the ball, and there was not much time left. He tried to sway away from Tang Tian but failed, and his last reluctant shot was blocked by Tang Tian.

The scene was agitated.

In the past four games, the Lakers played well at the beginning, and the two losses they lost were due to the fact that they never played at the end of the match.

But after tonight's opening, they missed consecutive attacks!

This is by no means good news!

Looking back at the positional battle, Tang Tian broke through with the ball, and the Lakers' wings tightened their defense.

Their defensive strategy is still the same as in the past few games.

After seeing this, Tang Tian chose to pass the ball to Brogdon at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Brogdon's three-point opportunity, his shot after receiving the ball.

Vogel was relieved to see this. Brogdon's touch has been poor in the past few games.

By this point, the Lakers' defense has been mostly successful.

Just protect the rebound...

"Uh-huh!"

But before he could shout, there was a crisp sound and the basketball hit the net.

Brogdon's three-pointer went in!

This time, not only the fans, but also Vogel was stunned.

If the Pelicans play well defensively, he can accept it, but if the offense is also open, the Lakers will really be in big trouble!

James' strong attack in the frontcourt finally caused Siakam's defense and got two free throw opportunities.

He made one of two free throws and finally broke the scoring drought for the Lakers.

Looking back, Tang Tian continued to score points, and this time it was Carter who caught the ball.

Middleton returned to defense, but Carter took the lead.

The ball passed Middleton's fingertips.

"Uh-huh!"

Carter's three-pointer also scored!

The Pelicans scored two three-pointers in a row and started 8-1!

"God, he really has magic!"

Seeing this start, Barkley in the commentary box couldn't help but sigh, even though it was really nonsense.

"It's Eastern magic."

O'Neal corrected him.

Smith was sandwiched between the two, already bent over with laughter.

No matter what the result of the game is, the fans' discussion about the Pelicans' appearance ceremony after the game is destined to explode.

While talking, the Lakers' wave of offense still failed to score.

The Pelicans' tight Lakers defense couldn't get in tonight.

Looking back, Tang Tian continued to break through.

He sent two assists in a row, and the Lakers defense expanded early.

However, this move was noticed by Tang Tian, ​​and he rushed directly into the three-second zone.

Lopez made the save, and Tang Tian sent a through ball from close range to Gasol's chest.

Gasol raised his hand and got the ball, followed by a two-handed dunk.

10 to 1!

The Pelicans are playing crazy!

Vogel is going crazy.

The Pelicans really looked like they were cheating tonight!

At the critical moment, Durant misplaced Gasol and made a difficult fallback hit, which helped the Lakers stabilize some of the situation on the court.

The goal elicited explosive cheers from the crowd.

Durant's performance this season is really impressive.

"Defense! defense!"

The cheers soon turned into defensive cries.

Although they started passively, as long as the Lakers can gain momentum, they can turn the situation around.

Durant's difficult two points are a very good start.

Tang Tian continued to break through with the ball in the frontcourt, and the Lakers did not dare to expand early this time.

He broke through to the free throw line and passed the ball to Carter in the bottom corner.

Middleton made a big save.

Carter used consecutive three-pointers in the opening game to help the Pelicans build an advantage in the third game. He had already made one before in this game.

So we must not let him take action again.

Carter showed his experience with this ball. When he saw Middleton flying out, he did not take a shot, but feinted a shot.

After sending Middleton flying, he rushed in at a high speed.

The rest of the Lakers were staring at Tang Tian from the free throw line, and Lopez was stuck under the basket by Gasol.

After Middleton flew away, Carter rushed to the inside and was unstoppable!

He jumped directly into the air more than one meter away from the basket, pulled the ball up with his right hand and began to turn around.

In the shocked eyes of the fans at the scene.

"Bang!"

Carter turned around in the air and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

He completed a 180° turn and dunk!

The fans at the scene were stunned. The Pelicans' bench was already in a state of shock.

This is Carter, 42 years old! 42 years old!

Stevens finally couldn't stop laughing.

At the press conference after the third game, Tang Tian said that he hoped to see Carter's dunk.

Unexpectedly, just one game later, his wish came true!
