Chapter 634 The Grizzly Bear That Was Hammered (Second!)
After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams came on stage one after another.
For the Pelicans, Holiday and Tang Tian's backcourt combination, Ariza and Davis' striker combination, and center Whiteside.
On the Grizzlies side, Conley and Allen partnered in the backcourt, Courtney Lee played the starting small forward, Randolph and Gasol Jr. played inside the Bears.
Whiteside jumped and beat Gasol Jr., which opened the curtain for the Pelicans' playoffs this year.
Tang Tian received a pass from Holiday in the frontcourt, faced Allen's defense with a low body dribble, changed direction, and then accelerated to break through.
At this moment, Li Xie, who was on the weak side, came over.
When the two teams played against each other in the regular season this season, Jogel used Allen to single-handedly defend against Tang Tian, and ended up blowing up every time.
In the playoffs, he finally learned how to behave. It was better to force the ball out of Tang Tian's hands than to let Tang Tian shoot it directly.
Tang Tian immediately distributed the ball to Ariza, who caught the ball and made a direct shot before the help defense arrived.
"Shua!"
The ball crossed a high throw line in the air and then went hollow into the net.
Ariza's hands look very good.
Conley dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Gasol Jr., cut to the basket by himself, caught the ball and flew to the basket.
"boom!"
Davis was not polite at the basket, and directly sent a help defense cap.
Whiteside turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound.
The scene burst into cheers from the fans.
With an offense and defense in the opening game, the Pelicans look very good tonight!
Although Tang Tian took care of the little girl and said that he would not take revenge, the whole Pelican team is still very honest!
Holiday dribbled the ball to the front court and continued to pass the ball to Tang Tian.
This time the Grizzlies changed the way of double-teaming, and Conley shrank the defense inside.
As a traditional strong defensive team, the Grizzlies have a hundred ways to defend.
Tang Tian still chose to pass the ball.
Fans can feel that the Pelicans are in good shape on the court, and he can feel it even more as a player on the court.
The ball was given to Holiday immediately.
Holiday didn't hesitate to catch the ball, and just raised his hand and threw it.
"Shua!"
The same is hollow into the net!
The Pelicans scored two three-pointers in the opening game!
And from two different people.
It's not just that Ariza feels good alone, but the whole team!
6 to 0!
Perfect start!
The emotions of the home fans were completely ignited by these two three-pointers.
"Defend! Defend!"
The fans have spontaneously cheered and cheered for the home team.
Randolph stormed Davis at the basket, and Davis suffocated.
Randolph turned and shot backwards, and Davis struggled to save the interference.
"boom!"
Another big take!
After the opening, he sent two big shots in a row!
Davis roared excitedly after blocking the shot.
That state is really the same as in the game, the soles of the feet are on fire!
He never wants to go through the scene of sitting on the sidelines crying last season again!
The Grizzlies sent a sideline ball, and the mid-range of Gasol's free throw line also missed under the interference of Whiteside.
Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it directly to Tang Tian. Tang Tian took the ball to avoid Li's early foul, and rushed to the frontcourt to score the ball against Conley's defense.
8 to 0!
The Pelicans started off like a rainbow!
The emotions of the fans are also extremely excited, the feeling of holding back their energy and wanting to get revenge at the beginning, just like waking up to find that the goddess is really in their arms.
Absolute orgasm!
Gasol Jr. played Whiteside in the low post, and made a difficult fallback hit and finally broke the scoring shortage for the Grizzlies.
After he scored a goal, he roared and punched, and the Grizzlies bench also shouted excitedly.
The Grizzlies are not so easy to mess with in the playoffs!
Tang Tian continued to receive the ball in the front court and was double-teamed. It was still Conley, and he gave the ball to Holiday again.
This time the Grizzlies were already prepared, and Lee's defense rotation came quickly.
Holiday gave the ball to Ariza, and Conley quickly defended it.
This impenetrable defense is the basis for the Grizzlies to overwhelm the playoffs.
But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly turned around and ran back to the three-point line.
Ariza returned the ball, and he made a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.
Aaron didn't keep up with his footsteps, and Tang Tian was much taller than him, so he didn't have time for this kind of interference, so he could only stretch out his hand to interfere as much as possible.
"Shua!"
Tang Tian also made a three-pointer against Allen's attempt!
11 to 2!
The Pelicans made all 3 of their opening 3-pointers and went crazy!
"I... I don't know how to explain the state of the Pelicans, I can only say that all of them are playing with a vengeance."
Breen in the commentary seat saw the fiery state of the Pelicans at the beginning of the game, and he couldn't hide his excitement in his words as he was experienced in commentary.
The word revenge is always played on the NBA stage, but not many are really successful.
Being able to witness and serve as a commentary, this kind of emotion is completely natural.
The Grizzlies' frontcourt cooperation was completely unplayable.
That defense is almost at the same level as the opposite Grizzlies.
Perhaps it was because of the fire of revenge as Brin said, or maybe it was stimulated by Tang Tian's Hawaii star car model tour before the game, the Pelicans are really in a surprisingly good state tonight.
The Grizzlies couldn't cooperate, and in the end they could only give the ball to Randolph for low singles.
Randolph this time turned and walked to the basket.
"boom!"
What greeted him was Whiteside's big hat covering his head and face.
When did the big black bear suffer this kind of anger, and was blocked by the Pelicans Twin Towers in the paint.
But he didn't have a chance to vent his anger. There was not much time left in this attack on the Grizzlies. Conley made a strong three-pointer from the outside and went straight.
The Grizzlies' offense failed again.
Holiday took possession of the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Tang Tian.
Conley continued to double-team, the ball was given to Holiday, and Holiday shot against Lee's defense this time.
"Boom!"
This time the three-point shot finally hit the iron.
But Davis flew into the inside, pointed at the popped ball, and directly filled the ball into the basket.
13 to 2!
Jogel reached out and called a timeout.
The game only lasted more than three minutes, and the Pelicans already had a double-digit lead!
He had to call a timeout to contain the momentum of the Pelicans.
After the timeout, Randolph turned around and forced Davis under the basket. After missing a shot, he made a tip-up and scored.
Turning around, Tang Tian held the ball again, seeing that the Grizzlies didn't double-team immediately, and called Davis to play a pick-and-roll.
After disassembling, he walked out and saw that the Grizzlies hadn't double-teamed yet, so he made an emergency stop at a high position and pulled out his hand.
After Randolph saw it, he flew up and couldn't control his body to hit Tang Tian's hand.
"beep!"
"Shua!"
The ball went into the net hollow after the referee whistled.
A 2+1!
The cheers of MVP have already sounded at the scene.
Tang Tian's extra penalty missed, and Whiteside took the ball out.
After Tang Tian got the ball, he dribbled to the three-point line, and suddenly turned around and made a three-pointer before shooting.
"Shua!"
Still in!
Tang Tian scored 5 points in one round!
18 to 4!
In the opening five minutes, with this score, the Grizzlies were hammered tonight!
Thanks Maru Maru for the reward.
