Chapter 800 Everything Is There in the Dream

"We're not going to give up, the Pelicans played a super high-level game, but they're not going to stay that way."

The Pelicans won the opening game, but Kerr was still talking and laughing during the interview.

This coach, who led his team to 67 wins in his rookie season and 73 wins in his second season, is a member of the former Bulls dynasty. His psychological quality is absolutely tough.

It also shows on the faces of the Warriors players.

They lost a lot in the first game, but in fact everyone who watched the game knows that they were still inseparable from the Pelicans seven minutes before the end.

The final collapse was due to their own psychological fluctuations. In terms of strength, they were fully capable of fighting.

Kerr and the Warriors players thought so.

It was against this background that two days later, the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Pelicans and the Warriors continued in New Orleans.

Cole is right. The Pelicans' performance dropped significantly compared to the first game, and Tang Tian's performance was not that exciting.

This is also to be expected.

Although the Pelicans did not perform as high-profile as the Warriors in the first game, it was terrifying to show off the energy they had held in for a season.

After that momentum passed, it naturally fell back.

The Pelicans' performance has dropped, but the Warriors' performance has also been the same, or even bigger.

In other words, the Pelicans' fallback is normal, but the Warriors' fall back from a cliff after the 1-3 comeback.

Amid the wild cheers of the New Orleans fans, the Warriors' outside touch was collectively lost.

Curry and Thompson combined to make 5 of 21 three-pointers from outside.

The Pelicans led from start to finish, and finally defeated the Warriors 106-88, leading by a huge score of 2-0!

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. A year ago, the Pelicans were beaten by the Warriors. A year later, it became the Pelicans and beat by the Warriors.

After this game, Pelicans fans were more excited than ever.

Although the outside world is very optimistic about the Pelicans, they feel that the game will be fierce no matter what. After all, the opponent is the 73-win Warriors led by Curry.

But the 2-0 score gave them enough confidence. They believe more and more that the Pelicans can win the first championship in team history this year!

"We will start to fight back at home. 0-2 is nothing to us. We will beat them 4-2."

The next two games of the series will be moved to Oakland. After returning to Oakland, Green spoke nonsense in front of the media.

This is also his consistent style, to cheer up the team in this way.

This is a very positive thing for the Warriors and Warriors fans, but for the Pelicans and fans, this is very pretentious.

You are already behind 0-2. What this means is that you are going to sweep the Pelicans 4-0!

Tang Tian just smiled when he saw this comment.

Last year, Green said that if the Warriors wanted to sweep the Pelicans, they couldn't write their names backwards.

As a result, there was a fuss for a while in the end, and even now few fans remember that incident.

Time can make people forget many things. In the end, people will only remember who won the championship, and no one will remember the process before that.

Tang Tian saw through it and didn't respond, but Stephenson was very direct.

The war of words between him and Green hasn't ended yet!

"No one will pay attention to what he says, because he talks like farting, and even he doesn't know how many of them he has farted."

Stephenson is confronting him head-on.

"I won't talk too much about someone who is about to be eliminated from the league. That's unnecessary."

Green's response was the same as before, calling Stephenson's league status into question.

"That's all he says, man, I was in the conference finals before him, and as for the championship, I'm going to get it this year."

Stephenson is really tough, and he is completely justified in exchanging words with Green.

The war of words has not ended yet, the third game of the Western Conference Finals has already begun at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

The Oracle Arena was crowded, and the scene was no worse than the New Orleans Arena.

The team's unfavorable situation, coupled with the pre-game war of words, caused Bay Area fans to flock to the stadium to cheer for the Warriors.

According to previous media reports, Curry arrived at the arena an hour early to warm up before the game, attracting two to three thousand fans to watch on the sidelines.

He also showed his excellent touch in front of the fans and hit a midfield three-pointer, giving the fans great confidence.

During the opening ceremony, Curry appeared shaking his head, bringing the atmosphere to the highest point.

Cole made adjustments this game and put Bogut back into the starting lineup.

The Warriors used five small players in the past two games and conceded an average of 120 points per game. This adjustment is also expected.

Bogut beat Davis out of the jump, officially kicking off Game 3 of the series.

"Come on Warriors!"

The Bay Area fans were in a lively atmosphere and cheered for the home team as soon as the game started.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Curry used Bogut's screen to hit a big three-pointer.

He hit the target on his first shot, showing the same excellent touch he had before the game.

And in the next round, Bogut also helped to interfere with Tang Tian, ​​successfully preventing the Pelicans' first attack.

There were constant cheers.

These two rounds fully demonstrate Bogut's importance to the Warriors now. The Warriors have a high probability of losing in the past two games at this point!

Now that Cole has corrected him, the Warriors are completely worthy of the Pelicans!

The fans at the scene thought so, but their thoughts did not last long.

Because in the next round, the Pelicans forced Thompson to stop the ball through pressing, and Tang Tian then directly stole the ball away from Thompson.

Thompson is a top pitcher, but his current ball handling is really average.

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he went on a fast break and accelerated to get rid of Curry, who was chasing him. He dunked hard with both hands and scored.

Curry missed his second three-point shot from the outside. After Davis grabbed a defensive rebound, the Pelicans went to the frontcourt to play position.

Tang Tian suddenly scored to the basket to attract a double team and pass the ball to Jokic on the bottom line. Jokic turned around and put the basket in to score.

In terms of finishing rate, Jokic is much higher than Biyombo and McGee.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the Warriors failed to use five players, their defensive contraction slowed down, giving Tang Tian more room to play.

Barnes' layup cut to catch the ball was blocked by Davis, and Bogut's shot to win the frontcourt board was also interfered with by Jokic.

Jokic got the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans turned directly to defensive counterattack.

Without the five players, the Warriors' defense also slowed down.

Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt with great speed. He rushed to the frontcourt and did not go up himself. Instead, he passed the pass without looking at anyone, and stuffed the ball from Thompson's armpit to Davis who was following up.

Davis made a one-handed dunk and slammed the ball into the basket.

4 to 3.

Although the scores were similar, the Pelicans quickly took the initiative as they did in the previous two games.

There was a commotion at the scene, and the fans discovered that their previous judgment was an illusion.

In the final analysis, from core to team configuration, the Pelicans have unknowingly surpassed the Warriors.
