The invincible kryptonite of basketball

……

In the Warriors' locker room before the game, Green was mobilizing Durant one-on-one before the game.

Having experienced the Olympics together, he knew that Tang Tian was now Durant's nightmare, and the best way to get rid of the nightmare was to look directly at it.

The Christmas game is an opportunity, as long as Durant wins Tang Tian once, everything will be solved.

Same goes for the Warriors.

Last season's 73 wins were swept away in the Western Conference finals, and they were nailed to the pillar of shame. This season, they came back strong but were sprayed by the referees. They even formed a four-star team, and their current record is not as good as the Pelicans.

They also need to prove themselves and prove that the Pelicans are just one of their old enemies, not a natural enemy that was unilaterally beaten.

Green has a big mouth, and now he has become a lonely warrior, and even his name has been written backwards, but these do not hinder his spiritual attributes.

For the one-on-one mobilization of Durant and the mobilization of the whole team, when the Warriors came out of the locker room, their faces were full of confidence.

They are going to win!

In this much-anticipated Christmas battle, they want to win!

By the time the Warriors came out of the locker room, the Pelicans had been warming up on the court for a while.

The Warriors took this game seriously, and so did the Pelicans.

But the difference is that the Pelicans are more reflected in action.

After Durant entered the field, he looked at Tang Tian in the next half.

He was enraged by Green and became bloodthirsty, and now he wanted to bite Tang Tian!

The scene was about to enter the opening ceremony, and Tang Tian pulled the team members to do a pre-match mobilization.

The strength of the four-star Warriors must be much stronger than the Warriors last season, and it is definitely not as simple as last season to win them.

"This.is.our.house!"

At the end, he quoted Wade's classic quote.

The home of the Christmas game, they must win!

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.

The Warriors used a regular lineup, with Curry and Thompson's Splash Brothers on the outside, Durant and Green on the front, and Pachulia at the center.

With the loosening of the penalty scale, Green's interior defense has obviously become more difficult, and Cole has no longer dared to use the five minors as a regular lineup.

The Pelicans also have a regular lineup, with Holiday and Tang Tian on the outside, Ariza and Davis on the front, and Jokic at the center.

Although the popularity of the rest of the players except Tang Tian is not as high as that of the Warriors, but a closer look reveals that the Pelicans can match the Warriors in every point.

Holiday can defend Curry as well as Thompson, Trevor Ariza is one of the few in the league who can defend Durant alone, Davis and Jokic are stronger inside than Green and Pachulia.

Just like the record shows, this is the peak matchup between the two strongest teams in the league.

The game began immediately, and the two teams started to play one after another.

At this time, the live shots showed close-ups of the players on both sides.

From everyone's face, you can see the desire to win the game, the fierceness written on the face.

Finally, there is a cut shot of Tang Tian and Durant.

The Tang-Du matchup that fans are talking about is about to be staged again, but Durant is no longer a Thunder player, but a brand new Warriors player.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Davis jumped and won Pachulia, officially kicking off the Christmas battle.

Tang Tian's offense with the ball in the frontcourt, the Warriors' double-teaming was very resolute, and the defense off the ball side was very tough, the Pelicans' off-ball tactics had no chance.

This is also the change brought about by the referee's penalty scale. It is much more difficult to run out of tactical opportunities than before.

Tang Tian chose a strong attack in the double-team, turned around to the bottom line and fell back.

Thompson gave a physical confrontation below, and Green pounced very resolutely, and even had a confrontation with Tang Tian's arm.

The collision of muscles!

After the confrontation, Tang Tian still maintained his shot shape, and the ball went over Green's head after the shot.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball hit the net!

Under the super high-intensity defense, Tang Tian still scored the ball!

The cheers on the scene suddenly exploded, and the fans raised their hands high, as if Tang Tian hit a lore goal!

This is basketball at the beginning of the century!

The visual effect of each goal is very explosive!

Tang Tian also proved his strength in this way, his performance has nothing to do with the referee!

The Warriors' offense, continuous air cuts and back runs in the frontcourt, but also failed to give a chance.

The physical confrontation in every pick-and-roll made them much harder to switch defenses than before.

Curry's last ultra-long three-pointer was a bit wide, and Jokic protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans counterattacked, Tang Tian made a false pass and assisted Holiday with a layup from behind to score 2 points.

4 to 0, the Pelicans took the lead in the opening game.

"Defense! Defense!"

The emotions of the fans could not be restrained, and there was an overwhelming sound of cheering at the scene.

The Warriors' frontcourt position still had no chance, and the ball was finally given to Durant.

Splash opened up the space, Durant hit Ariza with his back, turned around and shot back.

Ariza's defense was in place, his body resisted, and his hand stretched out to seal Durant's eyes.

Durant shot by feel, but the trajectory of the ball is still very positive.

"Shh!"

Durant also scored a difficult goal!

The Warriors' bench was boiling, and such a goal also made them excited.

The Tangdu duel, this time it makes people feel like seeing the reappearance of the confrontation between McGrady and Kobe!

Full of memories, but happening right before their eyes!

Tang Tian double-teamed and sent a point, but Holiday's three-point shot this time was interfered by Thompson and missed.

Looking back, Durant was double-teamed by Davis again in singles, and Jokic interfered with Green's cut and layup.

Jokic made a false shot after receiving Tang Tian's pass, and the layup was destroyed by Pachulia and Green's encirclement.

The Pelicans failed to score two consecutive offenses, but looking back, Thompson's three-point catch was also interfered by Tang Tian and missed a three-point shot!

Under high-intensity confrontation, it is very difficult for not a superstar to score!

But the collision of muscles on the field, even if there is no score, the emotions of the audience will continue to be high.

There are no referees, no one-point goals, and the field is completely dependent on pure personal ability, with real knives and real guns.

Tang Tian broke through to the basket in a double-team, and an exquisite through ball in the air was given to Davis who followed up in the middle.

Davis jumped up before Green and smashed the ball into the basket through Green!

Green made small moves in the air, but Davis rushed very thoroughly. He was directly ejected and the referee blew his whistle.

This is a 2+1!

This is the first foul on the field for both sides!

After Davis scored a goal, he punched and roared, and even the audience wanted to roar along with him.

Muscle collision competition, the feeling of blood spurting!

ps: Today is the last day of May, the monthly pass will be cleared tomorrow, commanders look through the ticket clips, if you have any, remember to vote for Mizuga, okay!

Chapter 9 Tang Tian's Pippen (Second update!)

"God, this is the best game of the year!"

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith, who had always been on a deal, couldn't help but exclaim.

The two teams fought with real knives and guns on the field, which is too entertaining!

"Yes, there will be more and more games like this, and the NBA will get better and better."

O'Neill also sighed.

As the strongest center forward at the beginning of the century, the confrontation on the court now gave him the original desire to watch the ball, instead of imitating Barkley's exaggerated expression like before.

About 10 minutes into the first quarter, the two sides entered into rotation one after another.

At this time, the score on the court was 26 to 16, and the Pelicans had a 10-point lead.

Both teams played absolutely high-quality offense and defense, but under high-intensity confrontation, the Warriors' offensive efficiency was significantly low.

This is also a reasonable thing. The Splash Brothers and the Warriors themselves are products of the small ball era.

The penalty scale has changed. After the confrontation, the game relies more on the personal attacking ability of the stars, and the Warriors are slightly inferior.

And after the tide receded, Tang Tian's personal scoring ability was fully demonstrated.

In this quarter, he also scored 12 points under the high-intensity double-team defense, the highest in the game.

The Warriors trailed by 10 points before the end of the quarter, and the situation was not good for them.

The only good news is that Durant also scored 8 points in a single quarter. He did not shrink back like the Olympics, but carried the team on his shoulders.

The game entered a rotation, and both teams rotated with eight players.

For the Pelicans, Holiday and Davis stayed on the court and replaced Brogdon, Bojan and David West.

The Warriors kept Curry and Green on the court and replaced Livingston, Iguodala and Marreese Speights.

After Durant left the field, Curry became the main point of attack. He ran off the ball to receive a pass from Livingston, and waited for Brogdon before shooting, causing the latter to foul a three-pointer.

Against Curry's three-pointer, he lost his aim, but he was very smart, using his experience to create damage, and taught Brog a lesson.

You are a mature rookie, but you are still just a rookie in the end, and there will always be a process of accumulating experience.

Curry made three free throws steadily, and the Warriors narrowed the point difference to 7 points.

Looking back, Davis played back with the ball in the low post.

Bo Yang went around the pick-and-roll without the ball on the weak side, West and Speights collided with each other, and he ran out to get a chance.

Davis passed the ball in a timely manner, but it was a pity that his shot missed, hit the basket and bounced high, and the rebound was protected by Green.

Under high-intensity confrontation, not only the defense encountered at the moment of the shot, but also the previous confrontation will affect the final shooting result.

This is why in the small ball era, everyone was a sharp shooter with a high shooting percentage, while at the beginning of the century, even the top three-point shooters had a shooting percentage of only a little over [-]%.

For catch scorers like Bojan and Thompson, they need to work hard to adapt.

After Green took the rebound, he dribbled two steps forward, and the backcourt leader threw it to Curry. Curry squeezed Holiday's defense for a layup, and pulled the bar back in the air.

The difficulty of the ball is very high, but Curry's ability has been demonstrated, and the difficult counter-basket is still improving!

Curry personally played a wave of 5-0 offensive, narrowing the point difference to 5 points at once.

Stevens walked to the sidelines and looked up at the time. There was still more than a minute to go before the end of the quarter, so it was meaningless to call a timeout.

He rushed to the court and made a new tactical gesture.

After Holiday arrived in the frontcourt and signaled to pull away, he directly gave the ball to Davis's low single.

Basketball at the beginning of the century, the stage for superstars, depends on whether Davis has grown up in the past four years.

Green's center of gravity is very low behind the back, which is also one of his defensive characteristics, and his foot is stable.

Davis didn't go hard, he chose to hit the board after turning around continuously.

The ball didn't get rid of Green, Green's outstretched hand interfered, and the basketball smashed out of the frame!
