At the press conference after the match, the atmosphere on both sides was completely different.
"I forgive him, but he went back and practiced a thousand more three-pointers."
Although Popovich was in a bad mood, he still chose to maintain his players.
"We have a 50% chance of winning."
And his mentality is relatively optimistic and positive about being forced into a tiebreaker.
On another field, the Pelicans' post-match press conference atmosphere was more relaxed.
Tang Tian created a 27-point scoring record and scored 63 points to equal Jordan.
This series of issues is the focus of reporters' questions.
One of the interesting things about is that when asked about the tiebreaker, he and Popovich's answer coincided.
"Now we can use one game with the Spurs to determine the outcome. We still have a 50% win rate."
But the same words, the feelings of the two people's mouths are completely different.
Popovich is a ridicule under adversity and is also encouraging his teammates to change direction.
The Pelicans won two games in a row, and their morale was strong, and Tang Tian was even more impressed.
之后 After the game, many of the Pelicans' players stayed for training, including Jokic, Hollodi, Ariza and others in the starting lineup.
Although winning is exciting, they also know that they are not playing well.
Wu Tangtian was very relieved to see this. Although the playoffs in the playoffs are relatively large because of his youth, this attitude determines that this team will get better and better.
In the latest episode of TNT, Barkley and Smith were "attacked" madly by O'Neal, but they could only cope with laughter.
This time O'Neal won them without any temper.
In the show, they also analyzed the subsequent games.
The Pelicans won two games in a row, plus home games, the probability of winning a tiebreaker is very high.
This time Barkley and Smith joined O'Neal and both turned to support the Pelicans.
They also looked forward to the remaining Eastern Conference finals.
The Bulls won the Hawks 4-2, and the Hawks, one of the three dark horses of the season, took the lead.
骑士 And the Cavaliers also knocked out the Knicks 4-2, James once again has a near-term decision.
In this way, the Bulls and Cavaliers will become the team against the East.
Rose met James again in the playoffs, but this time he had a lot of injuries and a super teammate Butler.
Can foresee that the Cavaliers will encounter the most tenacious resistance in this round.
Twenty days later, the Pelicans and Spurs's tiebreaker officially started in New Orleans.
The stadium is full of seats, and fans are holding high-profile logos such as "close to the West decision", "1 to 3 reversal", "tenth branch in history" and so on.
After the Pelicans won two games in a row and dragged the game into a tie-breaker, the fans' mood was unprecedented.
Suddenly at the scene, the sharp-eyed fans also found an uninvited guest.
Spurs owner Holt also came to the scene to cheer for the team.
However, because it is the home of the Pelicans, he did not get the VIP box position, just sitting in the front row of the auditorium.
In the locker room before the game, the players of both teams are making final preparations for the game.
"Guys, our small goals are all done, now it's time to achieve our big goals!"
As the team's morale rose, Tang Tian also came to a wave of the most positive chicken soup before the game.
Pelicans players shouted excitedly, it felt like a soldier in front of the battlefield.
They are waiting for the charge!
开 During the opening ceremony of the scene, it was as if the gas tank encountered a combustion bottle, and the atmosphere of the entire stadium instantly exploded.
The atmosphere of the New Orleans Arena is unprecedented.
This scene shocked the TNT Big Three of the commentator.
I can't hide a smile on their faces.
This time they are all on the side of the Pelicans.
After a brief warm-up before the game, the starting players of both teams have appeared one after another.
Both sides did not make lineup adjustments. Davis returned the ball to the Pelicans halftime and officially kicked off the Western Conference.
Tang Tian ran without a ball in the frontcourt, and then stopped after receiving the ball and hit.
He continued the fiery state of the series.
The whistle on the scene is constant. For them, it was regrettable that they did not see Tang Tian's 63-point cut in person at the scene. Now they want Tang Tian to score more in this game.
The Spurs played a hammer tactic in the frontcourt, and Green's outside three-pointer missed the basket.
I don't think the thousand three-pointers he practiced back to San Antonio plus did not help.
Davis protected the rebound under the basket.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt. Tang Tian and Davis passed the ball after the pick-and-roll. Davis took the ball and jumped away from Leonard, dunking the score directly.
比 4-0, the Pelicans gave the Spurs a kick off the opening.
Large Gasol still missed the midfield distance, Jokic protected the defensive rebounds.
The Pelicans fought back, and Tang Tian assisted Hollodi with a layup.
6-0, the opening of the Pelicans is not only as simple as getting off Mawei, it is really like a rainbow.
Parker finally found a chance to beat Jokic, throwing his shot from close range.
The ball dropped into the net bag several times after the ball edged upside down.
虽然 Although the goal has been scored, it is also a miniature of the Spurs after the opening.
They are very ordinary in both their state and feel.
This is also expected. The Spurs have a system and a foundation, but after all, it is people who play. 3 to 1 is chased to 3 to 3, it is people's mentality fluctuations.
And Duncan, who is best at playing pressure, is retiring, and Ginobili is sitting on the bench again.
The situation in front of me is really normal ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Tang Tian's outside three-pointer missed, but Davis took off the offensive rebound with a long arm and gave his hand to the outside Jokic. The latter's three-point shot Go in again.
Jokic also feels!
And the Spurs are in exactly the opposite state. The Pelicans are in a perfect position in this game, and their state and feel are very hot.
鹈 After the first quarter of the game, the Pelicans were unstoppable, and they had led the Spurs 12 points by 32 to 20.
"If the Spurs can't get better, then they will lose the series is a foregone conclusion."
Smith said directly when he saw the scene in the commentary.
Buckley and O'Neal both nodded.
The two teams are in too bad a condition, and the chance of continuing to play like this is really small.
开 In the opening of the second quarter, both sides replaced one after another.
Ginobili continued the excellent status of this series of games and came up with a three-pointer.
But the Pelicans are also in good shape, and Gordon returned his three-point answerball the next round.
I didn't play the starting lineup, I didn't play the bench. In the first half, the Spurs played the same as the fifth game of the series.
After the second half, the Pelicans had led the Spurs by 15 points by 60 to 45.
The Pelicans beat the Grizzlies last year and lost seven, but this year they played against the Spurs and they are already on the verge of victory!
