Chapter 930: Some Competitions Can Be Won by Just Practicing.

Jokic's organization failed to make Holiday's three-pointer.

For the Thunder, Robertson was released from the outside and made a three-pointer, helping the team break the scoring drought.

Looking back, Ariza's cutback layup was interfered by Grant's defense and missed.

After not playing this tactic for a season, even if you adapt well, it is still a bit difficult to immediately produce results at the playoff level.

Fortunately, the Pelicans players were mentally prepared and retreated quickly if they couldn't score, not giving the Thunder a chance to counterattack defensively.

The Thunder fell into a positional battle. Westbrook broke through and was forced to stop by Tang Tian before passing the ball to Robertson.

Robertson glanced at Ariza one meter away, and then shot a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

He even made it in!

Robertson actually scored two three-pointers in a row!

This is a bit unexpected!

6 to 4!

The Thunder failed to score in two consecutive attacks at the beginning, but now they have taken the lead!

Donovan watched with excitement from the sidelines.

practice!

I asked you to practice, but you really made the Thunder a soft persimmon!

Keep practicing!

When something goes wrong in practice, the Thunder team has lost its momentum, and they can't change it even if they want to!

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to support from the free throw line.

Donovan shouted from the sidelines, and the Thunder half-shrank to prevent the Pelicans from cutting. Except for Robertson, who stared at Tang Tian, ​​the outside line was half-empty.

This is a very specific defensive approach.

Grant's mobility really gives the Thunder a big improvement on the defensive end.

Jokic glanced at it and saw no chance, so he directly gave the ball to Tang Tian, ​​then moved to the high post to pick and roll.

Although the new penalty scale limits his performance, he has a high emotional intelligence and quick brain reactions.

Tang Tian took the pick-and-roll and took one step towards Adams, then made a quick pull-out and hit the ball.

6-6, this goal helped the Pelicans tie the score.

Donovan was so angry on the sidelines that he almost slapped his thigh.

What about basic trust between people?

We agreed to practice tactics, but why did we start fighting Tang Tian again in the blink of an eye? !

Back on the defensive end, Ariza paid attention to guarding Robertson. Westbrook had no place to pass the ball after the sudden attack. Tang Tian interfered with the sudden stop and missed the pass.

Adams was beaten hard by Jokic, and Tang Tian turned around to collect the defensive rebound.

Holiday advanced to half-court, turned around and handed the ball to Tang Tian.

Seeing Tang Tian holding the ball continuously, Donovan thought that the Pelicans were going to switch back to the season style of play, but the next second, Tang Tian made a tactical gesture and gave the ball in.

When the ball reaches Davis, the space between the bottom corner and the 45-degree angle opens up. This is another low-post singles tactic!

The Pelicans are still practicing tactics!

Just changed the pattern!

Donovan's eyes were red with anger.

This is a playoff game, not a training game!

But unfortunately, Grant failed to guard Davis.

Davis turned around and put the layup into the frame, and the Pelicans took the lead.

Grant defended well, but he was overwhelmed by Davis in terms of height, weight, wingspan, and experience. He couldn't defend the ball despite his best efforts.

Westbrook's frontcourt attack on Tang Tian still failed.

Durant was guarded by Tang Tian and had psychological problems, so he couldn't perform well. Westbrook was really simply restrained.

What he is best at is also what Tang Tian is good at. This is really unreasonable.

Looking back, Davis continued to play with the ball in the low post.

Oladipo shrinks to help defend, and Davis gives the ball to Holiday.

Robertson was guarding Tang Tian at the top of the arc and did not dare to change. Westbrook on the weak side had no time to change, and Holiday got an open shot from the right wing at a 45-degree angle.

"Uh-huh!"

This time he grasped it and hit the target with the knife.

11 to 6.

The Pelicans extended their lead to 5 points.

Donovan's eyes were not only red now, but he was also breathing heavily.

The Thunder are not experienced babies!

It’s not for you to fight monsters and upgrade!

But it seems that the Pelicans are really treating them as experience babies.

Jokic provided support from the high post, and now Davis is playing in the low post. Who knows what tactics the Pelicans will practice in the future!

Oladipo missed a three-pointer from the outside, but fortunately Adams grabbed the frontcourt board and assisted Grant in his second attack.

8 to 11.

Donovan looked up at the score and adjusted his breathing.

The point difference is not big, and even the Pelicans lack continuity in practicing offense like this, which is generally good for the Thunder.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Davis in the low post.

But this time the Thunder were prepared in advance, and Westbrook's help came quickly.

Davis passed the ball to Ariza, Westbrook was returning to defend, and Ariza had no chance to take a shot.

In terms of offensive efficiency alone, Tang Tian is indeed the most efficient in singles with the ball.

The ball finally got to Tang Tian. Tang Tiansan threatened to face Robertson and made a pull-up shot from outside the three-point line.

"Uh-huh!"

A three-pointer went through the net.

The fans at the scene were in high spirits.

Whenever the Pelicans' offense is not going well, Tang Tian can immediately step up and score!

Donovan's face turned dark.

This is a foul!

No, this girl is cheating!

Play a tactic for a few rounds, and if it doesn't go well, give it to Tang Tian.

This is because Tang Tian is unscrupulous and does whatever he wants!

Westbrook's zombie pull-up in the frontcourt still didn't happen, and Adams' tip-in didn't go in either.

Donovan has never been a tactical coach. After Westbrook failed, the way this Thunder team can score is really limited.

Looking back, the Pelicans adjusted their tactics again. Tang Tian was holding the ball at the top of the arc, while Holiday and Ariza were running off-the-ball tactics!

Donovan was stunned.

Damn, this is because he didn’t want to be trained as an experience baby. The Pelicans slapped him on the ground and told him: No, you want to!

The Pelicans' continuous switching tactics tested the Thunder's defensive response.

This time the reaction was a bit off, Holiday came around to catch the ball and made a three-pointer!

He scored two three-pointers in the first quarter and felt very good tonight!

17 to 8!

In the blink of an eye, the score difference has been widened to 9 points!

Donovan has withdrawn himself enough to sit on the bench.

As I practice, I widen the point difference!

And like some sports, one posture is not enough, so change it!

But fortunately, he didn't have to shut up for the whole game. The Pelicans practiced and practiced and already opened the point difference to 20 points in the third quarter.

The Thunder were still unable to counterattack in the last quarter, and the game was concluded.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 106-86 at home and got a good start in the playoffs.

Six Pelicans scored in double figures. Davis had a team-high 23 points and 11 rebounds. Holiday had 17 points. Jokic had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Tang Tian made 8 of 14 shots, 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

Westbrook made 4 of 22 shots and only scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists.

The result of the game was not too surprising.

Although it is a duel between two triple-double kings, the gap in strength between the two teams is still obvious.

But what people didn’t expect was the process.

Donovan is not the only one who understands the game. There are also many fans who understand the game. They watched the game with their mouths open and their eyes open.

The Pelicans seemed to be playing a practice match, using various tactics. If they went well, they would score consecutively, and if they didn't go well, they would give the ball to Tang Tian.

Just practicing like this, they won the game...

The Thunder team on the opposite side was subjected to various postures, but in the end they were unable to resist and could only be forced to enjoy...
