The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Because the Pelicans have never announced whether Tang Tian is injured, their commentators can't talk nonsense, but Tang Tian is Tang Tian after all.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

The Cavaliers followed the starting lineup from the previous game;

For the Pelicans, except for Harrell who replaced Dior in the starting lineup, the other positions have not changed.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Davis jumped and won Whiteside, kicking off the second game of the finals.

The first attack from the Pelicans was handed over to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian called Harrell for a pick-and-roll, misplaced Love, and made an emergency stop jumper before the help defense came up.

He also played like this in the last game, but affected by his shoulder injury, most of his shots missed.

"Shh!"

But this time, his first goal of the game was hollow!

As time went by, his shoulder injury gradually began to recover!

Lu panicked after seeing this scene, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Fortunately, Tang Tian's shoulder injury still hasn't fully recovered.

The Cavaliers' offensive attack in the frontcourt failed. Looking back, Tang Tian made a sudden stop for a jumper, and the ball hit the front of the basket and was thrown out.

Regardless of the method of shooting, the basic steps of shooting are the same.

Aim, bend knees, raise shoulders, move wrists, shoot.

The pull-up is a fast-paced jump shot, but shoulder power is also key.

So Tang Tian's shoulder injury, or the shooting hand's shoulder injury, really had a big impact.

Love stuck Davis, and Whiteside was about to close the defensive rebound when he jumped up.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from beside him, grabbed the offensive rebound before him.

Harrell!

After grabbing the rebound, he quickly threw it to Davis.

Davis caught the ball and turned around and scored, all in one go.

4 is better than 0!

Like the first game, the Pelicans still had the advantage at the beginning.

"Pay attention to the rebound!"

The Cavaliers' chief assistant, Drew, yelled at Whiteside from the sidelines.

The team's new aid this year is really strong, but its brain is also really bad.

Whiteside ignored Drew, he just turned his head and glanced at Harrell, he just despised this guy who came out of nowhere.

The Cavaliers' offense, James and Whiteside scored suddenly, James broke into the penalty area and returned the ball to Whiteside.

Whiteside took a dribble to squeeze Ariza out of the way, and then directly smashed the ball into the basket with both hands across the late Harrell.

After dunking in, he made the iconic "strong" sign with both hands, and looked at Harrell with a smile.

Compared with him, Harrell is too young!

"Monterez, protect the rim."

Compared with Drew on the opposite side, Stevens was much gentler, he just reminded Harrell.

Harrell is just a bench player with obvious shortcomings, lack of experience, and short height as a fifth position, but Stevens accepted all of this with him.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and players are human too.

The offensive board in front is already worthy of putting him in the starting lineup.

Harrell nodded vigorously in response, he felt full of trust from Stevens' words.

The Pelicans attacked in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian and Harrell broke through the inside after a pick-and-roll.

James' defense came quickly. After the confrontation, he suffered a pain in his shoulder, and the ball hit the frame.

Just when James quickly took off for the second time and was about to receive the defensive rebound, a figure descended from the sky.

Harrell!

He is short, but he can jump high!

Before James reacted.

"Oh!"

He was like a beast out of the cage, waving its sharp claws, and smashing the ball directly into the basket across James!

The fans at the scene were all dumbfounded.

Harrell, is this... dunking James? !

Tang Tian was shocked.

He knew that Harrell was fierce, but the suddenness was a bit too much!

This is the blue beast!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It seems that Harrell has held back long enough, and the energy erupted at one time is amazing.

But this is also a reasonable thing.

Harrell was originally the kind of player with full mental attributes. He played brilliantly in the playoffs last season. He thought he would be reused in the new season, but things backfired. Now that the opportunity finally came, how could he not grasp it!

James was stunned.

He looked at the hideous Harrell, and a sentence came to his mind.

Who are you!

It's fine for him to be bullied by Tang Tian, ​​but this guy who came out of nowhere unexpectedly also dunked him!

This is nothing short of insulting!

Fortunately, he is different from Durant. He quickly adjusted his mood, and then signaled Love to serve in the backcourt.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James continued to use Whiteside's pick-and-roll to kill the basket. This time he did not choose to pass the ball, but went against Harrell.

Harrell is very tough, but James who rushed up was so tough that he didn't even hold him.

The referee whistled, and James still scored the ball.

2+1!

There was a commotion on the sidelines, and James' expression was calm.

Although he didn't know who Harrell was, he turned around and hit Harrell 2+1.

This is the strength of the second player in the league.

It's a pity that his extra penalty missed and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

6 to 4, the Pelicans still maintain the lead.

Davis held the ball in a high position, and he cooperated with Tang Tian. After receiving the ball and confronting him, Tang Tian's shot bounced twice on the basket and rolled out.

It can be seen that his hand feeling is still not very good.

Whiteside blocked the defensive rebound under the protection of Harrell this time.

In terms of personal ability and physical talent, he is much better than Harrell.

The Cavaliers advanced to the frontcourt, and Irving held the ball and asked Whiteside for a pick-and-roll.

The NBA is extremely cruel. Although Harrell got a chance, as a rookie, he is destined to be infinitely targeted.

Irving changed direction and passed Harrell's backhand layup, and his movements were extremely elegant.

But Davis had assisted defense, Irving's shot failed to hit, and the ball slid out from the front of the basket.

Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound and got up to dunk.

But Harrell's reaction speed kept up this time, a very tough physical confrontation.

Harrell's body is really a bit hard. After Whiteside lost weight to fight the inevitable decline, he couldn't fight this time.

With Davis on the left, he turned right and caught a small hook.

The moment he shot, a giant palm rushed into his sight.

Harrell!

"boom!"

In his incredible eyes, Harrell jumped up and slapped his shot directly into the audience.

A big volleyball hat!

The fans at the scene exploded instantly.

Davis also rushed to Harrell at this time, yelling at the latter.

Blocking shots has always been Whiteside's strong point, but he was blocked severely just now!

Tang Tian also reached out and gave Harrell a thumbs up.

This guy really has a lot of energy.

Stevens is also in a good mood.

Harrell has the previous shortcomings, but he also has advantages, such as strong strength, fast bullet speed, and long wingspan.

For those who can enter the NBA to play, mediocrity is only relative.

And making the best use of everything is Stevens' way of coaching.

After Harrell opened the game with a rebound, a dunk, and a volleyball-style cap, he was completely worthy of his starting status.

Harrell performed well as a surprise player and caught the Cavaliers off guard, but in a finals-level game, a surprise player alone cannot gain an absolute advantage.

Although Tang Tian's hand feeling on the Pelicans team has recovered a bit, the overall situation is still average.

After halftime, the Pelicans trailed the Cavaliers 45 to 50.

The point difference is smaller than in the previous game, but everyone can see that when the midfield adjusts and the Cavaliers deploy Harrell in a targeted manner, the Pelicans' chances of winning will decrease a little bit.

After Stevens arranged the tactics for the second half, he and Gentry went back to the coach's office first.

Tang Tian turned to talk to Davis.

His injury has a greater impact on the touch than expected, and the touch cannot be forced. He has no other way but to hit the basket more.

"AD, I will give you more passes in the second half, you have to shoot more."

On the contrary, Davis' offensive efficiency in the first half today was very good.

In addition to being a player, he is also a basketball godfather, with top-notch analysis and observation.

Davis nodded firmly, he had been preparing for a long time.

Back in the second half, neither side adjusted their lineups.

The Cavaliers came up to attack first, and Irving broke through and made Harrell's defensive foul when he came up, and got two opportunities for additional penalties.

Lue has obviously made adjustments in the midfield, which is to catch Harrell's inexperienced spot.

Harrell looked a little annoyed, Tang Tian went over and pulled him to say a few words.

He doesn't feel good and can't play his full offensive end, but he can do more in other areas.

Harrell nodded.

He is a typical rookie who needs the encouragement of the coach and the encouragement of the team boss.

With these encouragements, his mental attributes can always be kept at their peak.
