The Spurs missed a wave of offense in the frontcourt, and the Pelicans went back to play the same tactic.

Under the yelling of Popovich from the sidelines, the Spurs did not change this time, but let Leonard close the limit.

But this rotation speed couldn't keep up. Davis took a step after receiving the ball and directly dunked with both hands to score.

28 to 18, the Pelicans opened the point difference to double digits!

Popovich rubbed his forehead with his hand, turned around and called Cunningham up.

Cunningham came on to replace Forbes.

Leonard's post-up singles in the frontcourt squeezed past Green, but he turned around for a layup and was almost blocked by Davis' assist defense interference.

After successfully defending, Davis took off and grabbed defensive rebounds.

He was on fire tonight.

Looking back, Davis caught the ball in the low post and hit Cunningham with his back.

Cunningham is tough defensively, and Popovich sent him up to limit Davis.

However, after continuous physical confrontation, Davis turned around and hit the board again with a small hook.

There was an uproar on the sidelines.

Davis scored 14 points in this quarter alone!

Aldridge, Forbes, Cunningham... No one in the Spurs can guard him!

The scene gave Popovich a shot on the sidelines.

The old man put his hands on his hips and looked at the field motionlessly, with a somewhat numb expression.

The Spurs were very passive on the defensive end tonight.

It's not that Popovich's tactics are not good or that the Spurs have problems with their execution, but that Davis is in great shape tonight!

Originally, according to the experience of the Spurs playing against the Pelicans in the regular season, as long as Tang Tian was restrained, the Pelicans' offense would be able to defend.

Davis can score, but his scoring alone cannot keep up with the Spurs' scoring.

But Davis was in really good shape tonight, with no missed shots after the start, and more importantly, he revitalized the entire Pelicans offense.

Popovich has made all the adjustments he can, but there's nothing he can do about it.

And he can't use double-teams to defend Davis, because the Pelicans still have Tang Tian!

In fact, not to mention double-teaming, he just asked Leonard to defend Davis with the previous ball, and Tang Tian told him with 2+1 that he couldn't do that!

As a result, the Spurs couldn't solve their defensive problems all night.

The point difference was also opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After halftime, the Pelicans have led the Spurs 55 to 40 by as much as 15 points!

Davis scored 28 points in halftime alone!More points than the team average!

Although Davis' touch fell back in the second half, the Pelicans played steadily and maintained their lead until the end.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Spurs 106 to 93 on the road and won their first victory in the Western Conference semifinals!

戴维斯28投18中,砍下了全场最高的45分16板3盖帽2抢断,打出了职业生涯最高光的一场比赛!

As for Tang Tian, ​​he only took 15 shots, hit 7 goals, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Compared to his season data and performance, he completely won tonight.

The first thousand and 260 chapters this is an accident

The process and result of this game were unexpected. The Pelicans, who were not optimistic before the game, won the game, which also attracted a lot of discussion from fans.

"Because Tang's brilliance is too dazzling, we may all ignore AD. He has been selected to the All-Star Game for five consecutive years!"

"Yes, he has only 30 votes less than Durant in this year's vote, a very small gap! Maybe he will start next year!"

"There is also the brother basketball of the Pelicans last season. Whether it is personal data or court performance, he is a veritable second master!"

"I heard that he has been practicing low-post skills with Duncan in the past two summers. It is reasonable to play such a performance." From a well-known commentator in China.

"Actually, Don didn't do much offense this time. He was playing for AD or letting his teammates play for AD, but the Pelicans still won..."

"Yes, he wants to attack forcefully. Although the efficiency will be relatively low, George and Leonard can't stop him..."

"So some people still think that the Pelicans and the Spurs and Lakers are not in the same gear? Don is already incomprehensible enough, and with such an AD, they will easily win four consecutive championships!"

"Blow it! Don is completely restricted, no one can score many points under the defense of George and Leonard!" A statement from a Godfather fan.

"I think Durant can do it." A speech from the invincible Du Xiaoshuai in the universe.

"??"

"By the way, Xiaoshuai is so busy recently?"

"The first round of the Lakers is over. The Clippers and the Mavericks are playing in the dark. The Lakers have to wait. Of course they are free! (?ω?)"

"So can Xiao Shuai score a lot of points under the defense of George and Leonard?"

"I don't think so, because the Spurs will be eliminated by me, and the Lakers and Spurs will never meet! ┓(;′_`)┏"

"As Lianmi, the angle you said is novel and well-documented, I like it!"

"Four consecutive championships for the Pelicans! Go! Go! Go!"

"No, as a stab secret, I'm still optimistic about my stab, AD is very strong, but he can't have such a good touch every night!"

"Stick to our defensive strategy and we have a good chance of winning Game [-]."

"Come on, this is my best season ever!"

……

After two days of rest, the second game between the Pelicans and the Spurs continued in San Antonio.

According to local media reports, during the team's morning training session, the team owner ccx came to the training hall and gave each team member a notebook.

It is reported that the origin of these notebooks is in China, and he bought them online through Alibaba.

Alibaba's business is all over the world, and it is now one of the most developed shopping websites in the world.

This behavior of caring for the team has greatly improved the morale of the team.

After the training, the reporter interviewed the Spurs coach Popovich.

There are a lot of questions, some about giving away the computer before, and some about the night game.

"I didn't get the computer. I will have a good chat with Mr. Cai next time."

Popovich is so skinny that no one in the league knows that he doesn't use smart electronics much.

"Yeah, I'm more confident going into the night than I've ever been."

Just when the reporters thought he was going to be serious after skinning.

"Because I drank red wine with Don yesterday. He was drunk by me and told me all the tactics of the Pelicans. You know, he has never been my opponent for drinking."

It is impossible to drink during the playoffs, let alone drink with the opponent's main player. Popovich is skin on top of skin, real skin.

However, it can also be seen from this that although he lost the first game, his mood is still relatively relaxed.

That night, the second game of the series between the Pelicans and the Spurs continued at the ATT Arena.

The venue is still full of attendance.

Entering the opening ceremony after a short warm-up, the starting lineups of the two teams are worthy of attention.

You must know that Davis had the upper hand in the matchup with Aldridge in the last game.

The starting lineup of the Pelicans is the first to be released.

In fact, during the warm-up, many people were observing the Pelicans' bench.

Although the Pelicans have not released news of Gasol's illness before the game, the two-day training has not been open to the public.

But during warmups fans noticed that Gasol wasn't there.

It can be seen that he sprained his ankle quite badly.

Brogdon and Tang Tian on the outside, Green and Siakam on the striker, and Davis on the center.

Gasol couldn't play, and Stevens used a lineup of one big and four small.

On the Spurs side, White and George on the outside, Leonard and Aldridge on the striker, and Baynes at the center.

Popovich stuck to his Game [-] starting lineup.

In the last game, Stevens did a perfect job in the formation, keeping Popovich on top.

But tonight's starting lineup, Popovich in turn took the lead.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Baynes beat Davis and gave the Spurs the first chance to attack.

With the hammer tactics in the frontcourt, George broke through Siakam and scored a layup, scoring the first point for the Spurs.

In the Pelicans' offense, Davis hit Baynes in the low post, and then made shots after continuous foot movements.

His movement is very consistent, but the ball spins around the basket and comes out after the release.

Baynes turned and protected the defensive rebound.

Popovich held out his hands and applauded.

Not only because of Baynes' excellent defense this time, but also because Davis didn't score in the attack he was determined to win this time, and his touch was not as hot as he played.

Leonard's emergency stop jumper in the frontcourt missed, but looking back, Davis missed a mid-range shot from Brogdon's pass.

Baynes turned around and collected another defensive rebound.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers.

As they said on social media before, Davis' touch really dropped!

This is the best news for the Spurs!

George ran without the ball in the frontcourt, received a pass from White, and made a mid-range jumper!

In addition to Davis's brave performance, the Spurs' loss in the last game was also a very important reason for his poor performance.

Tonight, he had a strong desire to attack from the beginning, and he scored two consecutive offenses. This is going to save himself!

4 is better than 0!

The Spurs swept away their sluggish offense and scored 4 points in the first three offenses!

In the stands, ccx also had a relaxed expression.

The Pelicans won Game [-], and it's time for the Spurs.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian ran without the ball, received a pass from Brogdon, and took a step past George's dry shot.

He passed George very cleanly, but George did not give up his defense and grabbed a handful from behind.

Tang Tian's shooting posture was seriously damaged, and his shooting hand was pulled back. In order to maintain his body balance, he turned his palm back, but was held by George's hand, and directly touched his head...

"beep!"

The referee reacted quickly and blew the whistle immediately, blowing George's illegal foul.

George wanted to redeem himself, but went too far, and made a very dangerous defensive move.

Fortunately, Tang Tian reacted quickly and landed steadily after maintaining his body balance.

But after landing, his face was very ugly.

Everyone else thought he was fouled maliciously, but only he knew the real reason in his heart.

On his right hand, there is a hair.

Originally, after he started to notice that his hair was falling out, he had already decided not to touch himself.

But just now, he was touched by George.
