The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 704: Breaking the Curse of Verse 3
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both teams were released one after another.
After going through the first two games, Cole finally learned how to play. He replaced Iguodala with Bogut and directly used five small starters.
The Pelicans are still on the regular roster. What they need is still good details.
Davis beat Green and officially opened the fifth curtain of the series.
The Pelicans' tactics are the same as in the previous two games. Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc and gave the ball to Davis.
Davis turned Green back to the bottom and turned around.
Green defended the ball well, and made some small actions that the referee could not see.
Davis was disturbed and failed to throw the ball.
Green turned to protect the defensive rebound.
The Warriors did not hit the counterattack and fell into position. Curry ran without a ball to catch Green's three-pointer.
The last time Thompson's light shines, this time the posture is to watch Curry every day.
Holliday held the ball to the frontcourt, the Warriors' defensive formation has not changed.
Jokic glanced at Barnes in front of him and hurled straight in with the ball.
Just as he burst into the penalty area, the Warriors had a small defensive change.
Green came over to assist in direct defense.
Jokic passed the ball to Davis, and Green went back.
This defensive adjustment takes full advantage of Green's movement speed.
Davis passed the ball back to Jokic, Green then double-teamed.
Jokic muscle gain was not completed, the confrontation was still poor, and the turned layup failed to put in.
Barnes grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Pelicans opened with two waves of offense that didn't score.
The Warriors seized Jokic's chance to enter the interior and directly defensively countered.
Curry's frontcourt received Thompson's pass to draw a back-up scoring and also caused Hollodi's pull foul.
When he hits a penalty, the Warriors lead 6-0.
There was cheering at the scene.
The Warriors got off to a great start!
"Cole finally realized that his five-team squad was the trump card, and let go of his stubbornness. The Warriors can easily win."
Buckley was proud of the commentary.
He seemed to be able to see the wonderful scene of O'Neal's pro-Smith's ass.
Williams also stood from the bench to the sidelines at this time. He is not a tactical coach. At this time, he can only pray and look forward to the Pelicans' next attack.
Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, this time he gave it to Tang Tian.
Barnes contracted inward, Tang Tian turned directly to the bottom line.
Thompson had already anticipated and saved to the ball side.
However, Tang Tian shot fiercely and turned around and shot to the basket.
Barnes came in at this time, and Tang Tian took the opportunity and shot back.
This ball is very difficult.
"Oh!"
However, Tang Tian steadily put the ball into the basket.
Williams reached for a fist on the sidelines.
The crucial moment still depends on Tang Tian.
The Warriors' position in the frontcourt was unsuccessful. Jokic held the ball on top of the arc and gave it to Tang Tian. Tang Tian was caught by the ball.
He directly raised the frame and pulled dry.
The choice of this ball was unexpected, Thompson confiscated his hand and hit Tang Tian's arm and was blown for a foul.
Tang Tian's ball was rolled into the basket after a few laps on the basket.
This is a 2 + 1 ball.
The Pelicans' bench was boiling.
The start was 6-0, but Tang Tian scored two waves of offense, and one person chased the score back.
"Don't be elected mvp is the last thing this season should be. He can change the game by himself!"
It's O'Neal's turn this time.
Last time Barkley did not really kiss Smith's ass, it was his regret, but also the regret of all fans.
Now I finally have a chance to make up for the regret!
Curry continues to show his excellent feel, and the perimeter is one step further from the three-point line into the iconic ultra-long three-pointer.
However, in the next round, Tang Tian double-kicked Jokic, who also scored in the top three of the arc.
Davis's feel is average tonight, but Jokic's feel is good, plus Tang Tian's fiery state.
At halftime, the Pelicans clinched the game with the Warriors 53-55.
O'Neal and Barkley spent the entire half at the commentary.
Worst of all, Smith, after the protests were invalidated, watching Barkley and O'Neal fighting against their butt, the feeling really couldn't tell.
However, a draw at halftime is the norm after the Pelicans adjust their tactics. Whoever loses or wins at the end of the game depends on the third quarter.
In this series, the Warriors won the Pelicans, basically all locked in the third quarter.
Back at halftime, the Warriors attacked first.
Curry came up with a three-pointer, but unfortunately failed to hit.
Davis protected the defensive rebound.
In the frontcourt, Tang Tian was double-tapped before receiving the ball.

Jokic didn't attack the rim. In the first half, he didn't score under the rim and was directly hit by the Warriors.
He drew the ball to Davis, and Davis caught the ball and turned back.
Green's defense is still in place, and there are hidden small moves.
"Oh!"
But with a crisp sound, the basketball went hollow.
Curry cut the basket empty, and after passing the ball, Thompson passed the layup and scored.
He voted once to know that he didn't feel good, so he changed his way to help the team.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to give Davis the ball.
This time Davis slammed his face and turned to turn the basket against Green to score the ball.
Continuous singles hit!
Davis feels like he's found it!
The Pelicans retired, Tang Tian and Ariza exchanged.
Curry held the ball in the frontcourt and looked up to see his defender become Tang Tian.
If the Warriors is a car, Thompson is the fuel tank, and Green is the engine, then Curry is the driver.
The Pelicans have lost in the third quarter in the past few games. Tang Tian can't care about the physical distribution at this moment and directly comes to the driver.
Curry gave the ball to Green, and then ran continuously around the pick-and-roll.
At this time, Tang Tian seemed to be back in the Spurs period, changing back to the super defender that the opponent could not get rid of.
Curry missed the ball, and Barnes' last layup was also guarded by Davis.
As Barkley said before in the commentary ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The Warriors are strong enough, but they are far from a perfect forward than Barnes.
The Pelicans pressed to the frontcourt to continue playing, the ball was given to Davis, Davis turned and played again.
Green's foul was a bit big this time, but Davis sent the ball into the basket after the confrontation!
After he fell to the ground, Tang Tian was pulled up, and he shouted excitedly when he got up.
In the first half, Tang Tian carried the team with his own strength. In the second half, it was also time for him to stand up!
