Chapter 747 The real clown
The game only lasted more than one minute, but the fans on the scene already knew what the secret weapon Tang Tian mentioned before the game meant.
Jokic's low singles made Green suffer in these two rounds!
The Warriors' offense still has no good chance. Seeing that the attack time has passed halfway, Curry went around to the outside to receive the ball, changing from missing the ball to holding the ball.
He took the ball and looked for Green to pick-and-roll.
His three-pointer threat is too great, and the Pelicans have to change it. After the replacement, Curry has the chance to play Jokic in a misplaced manner.
With continuous changes in direction, Jokic's confrontation rose, but his pace still couldn't keep up.
But it's not his fault. There are not many big men in the league who can switch to Curry now.
Curry seized the opportunity to change direction and accelerate and threw away Jokic. Davis recovered and assisted defense. Curry passed the ball to Barnes while traveling.
The latter made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Curry's state and strength this season are both his personal peaks, not only his three-pointers, but his breakthroughs and passes are also S-level.
By making a sudden pass, two of the three can become Anthony-level players by reaching the top level. If three are top level, they are absolutely historical.
Van Gundy said right before the game, Curry and Tang Tian are now players of the same level.
Holiday continued to hang the ball in front of the court.
Jokic continued to play back with his back at low post. Green did not refuse his teammate's request for double-teaming this time, and Iguodala quickly went in and assisted in defense.
Moreover, the Warriors' rotation was also started as soon as possible. In addition to being able to switch defenses unlimitedly, the advantage of the five small defensive end is the defensive rotation speed.
Iguodala's double-team was in place, and Ariza, who was in the open space the second before, was taken into account by Curry.
"Most of them only saw the Warriors' offense, but their defense is also among the top five in the league this season."
Miller analyzed at this time.
"Thanks to Ron."
Van Gundy spoke.
He is talking about Ron as the first assistant coach Ron Adams sitting next to Cole.
This assistant coach who has coached in the NBA for 25 years is very good at coaching the team's defense and has a well-known reputation in the NBA coaching circle.
Although he was unable to become the head coach due to other shortcomings, he still made Van Gundy respected.
The Warriors' defense in front of them is the best proof.
However, before Van Gundy finished speaking, a figure suddenly cut into the inside.
It's Tang Tian!
Tang Tian spent most of his time playing ball in the first two years after he arrived at the Pelicans.
But after Stevens came, he added a lot of off-ball tactics to Tang Tian.
The purpose of doing this is very simple, which is to weaken the opponent's players' target defense against Tang Tian.
There is no difficulty in changing Tang Tian. He was a coach in his previous life, not to mention playing without a ball in the Spurs in those two years.
This is comparable to a textbook.
Jokic's reaction was also fast enough. With a right hand, the ball flew straight into Tang Tian's hand.
Tang Tian flew up and jumped up to smash the frame with one arm.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the ball was smashed into the basket.
Cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.
The Pelicans not only scored in the first three offenses, but also made a direct dunk this time!
Cole frowned slightly, turned his head and communicated with Adams and Gentry beside him.
Jokic's low-post offensive progress was surprising, and coupled with the passing he already had, his threat to the Warriors on the offensive end suddenly became even bigger than Davis.
The Warriors' offense was defended, and Holiday even gave the ball to Jokic when he arrived in the frontcourt.
The two teams had a grudge last season, and the Pelicans really grabbed the Warriors' five-small and seven-inch fight to the death.
This time Barnes went to defend in, and Davis also took the opportunity to cut in.
Jokic turned around and fed Davis another straight pass.
Davis saw Barnes turning around and was not polite, so he jumped up and pressed the ball into the basket directly through the person.
8 to 3!
After two consecutive matches, Jokic gave two assists in a row!
Serbian gold right hand is worthy of its name!
There were constant cheers on the scene. The Pelicans swept away the haze of last season's playoffs and suppressed the Warriors on the opposite side at the beginning!
The opening rounds also became the epitome of the first quarter.
Cole was very persistent and a little stubborn. He saw that Green was at a disadvantage against Jokic, but he just didn't change to five small players.
The first quarter was about 10 minutes after the two sides entered the rotation, and Bogut was replaced.
At this time, the score on the field was 27-17, and the Pelicans' lead had reached double digits.
At this stage, the substitutes of both sides are in good shape, while the Pelicans Boyn and Morro feel very good.
Both sides played back to the second quarter and played a fair match.
When the main players of both sides came back, everyone had seen Cole's awesome temper, and he still played against the Pelicans for five small players.
However, Green was also a shameless person before he was brave. In the first round after coming up, he became Jokic's strong attack.
Moreover, in the next round of the Warriors' offense, Green received Curry's breakout goal and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc, helping the Warriors narrow the gap to single digits.
The Warriors' strength this season is also crucial in addition to Curry and Thompson, the Splash Brothers, Green's performance on the outside is also very important.
As of now, his shooting percentage of 38% outside the three-point line is among the top players and is an absolute top performance.
After scoring the goal, Green beat his chest and roared, and was very excited.
Jokic made him very upset in the first quarter, and it's time for him now.
Holiday dribbled in the frontcourt and did not give the ball to Jokic, but instead gave it to Tang Tian.
After Tang Tian held the ball, he continued to signal Jokic to take the position.
Cole insisted on using the fifth elementary school, which was his stubbornness in coaching habits and his trust in Green.
Tang Tian’s current actions are trust in Jokic.
Jokic played Green with the ball and Barnes wanted to assist in defense and was called back by Green.
The first offense and defense brought his confidence back, and he must be worthy of Cole's trust in him.
"Come on! Come on!"
He continued to shout at Jokic, also using this method to increase his momentum.
"Bang! Bang!"
The direct collision of the two people's muscles can be heard by the audience in the front row at close range.
In the end, Jokic was even better. After all, he had the advantage of height and weight, and Green lost his position after being pushed.
Jokic suddenly turned around, and Green didn't have time to pounce on him.
Jokic turned around and exerted force, jumped up the heavy buttons of his hands.
It was too late for Green to pounce on him again.
"Bang!"
Jokic smashed the ball into the basket through Green.
The scene exploded instantly.
This is a dunk from the other person!
Jokic can not only play technology, but also violence!
Green was exposed outside the big guy from Jokic, and he spread his hands to look at the referee, as if he wanted a foul.
But just now, I really couldn't find any foul points for the ball, so the referee ignored him.
Last season, Tang Tian gave Jokic the nickname "joker" to him.
Chapter completed!
