Offensive round of the Pelicans.
Tang Tian held the ball as soon as the opening, the Trail Blazers also contracted defense in advance.
Butler followed up with Davis's cover and cut it, receiving Tang Tian's pass and layup, and also scored the first goal for the Pelicans.
No whistle on the sidelines.
This round, the Pelicans had a pick-and-roll, but Butler also confronted the assisting Aminu before layup, but the referee did not whistle.
A very intuitive message that everyone can feel is that the penalty scale for this game is different from the previous two.
This information is enough to inspire everyone.
Whether it's because the public opinion of the fans has put pressure on the league, or Lillard's words have played a role.
For fans, a game without referee intervention is what really makes them look forward to and want to watch.
It's not just the fans, the players on the field are also excited.
Without the referee's intervention, they can fully exert their strength!
But there is another person on the field who is also very excited.
Lillard.
He was disdainful of relying on the referee to win the game, and now this situation is exactly what he hopes.
Nurkic's frontcourt response.
Lillard reversed the basket after running, received a pass from Nurkic, and faced Davis's defense against an aerial rod to dodge and backhanded.
He scored 5 points in a row after the opening!
As in the first game, he entered Lillard time in the beginning!
The cheers of the fans at the scene could not stop.
As long as Lillard enters watch time, he is a superstar!
Now the team is 0-2 behind, and he needs to do the same.
Tang Tian's slam dunk for the Pelicans continued to score, and the Blazers scored, but it was difficult to keep.
However, it was Lillard, who caught the false shot and made a layup, which caused Butler's defensive foul.
After a solid two free throws, he scored all 7 points for the Trail Blazers.
This is exactly the performance of superstars.
However, the Pelicans also have high morale. Tang Tian suddenly points to Davis, who also scored steadily in the low midrange.
6 to 7, the two teams stalemate after the start.
When the quarter hit 10 minutes or so, the two teams replaced one after another and the score on the field was 30 draws.
This was a big match between the two teams, and they played the first game of the series.
The fans cheered continuously on the hotline without interference from the referee.
However, fans also know that if they continue to play at this pace, the game will be the same as in the first game.
After all, Lillard is not really a superstar. His watch wearing time is limited, and the Blazers can't stand up to halftime.
Especially in the next replacement stage, the gap in the substitute strength between the two sides will quickly open the score.
In the last two minutes of this quarter, Lillard scored another 5 points to help the Blazers enter the second quarter with a 35 draw and the Pelicans.
He scored as much as 17 minutes in this quarter, and tonight he has been wearing this watch for a long time.
Wait until the second quarter, the two sides continue to rotate lineup.
The Blazers are led by McClum and Anthony, plus Napier, Turner and Zach Collins.
The Pelicans are led by Walker and Davis, plus Ross, Boyan and Siacom.
Rose continued to perform well and came up to take a 3-pointer from Walker's pass.
Although it has been watched many times, this three-pointer still excited O'Neal and Buckley at the commentary.
Rose spent a year with the Pelicans, and he practiced three points that he was not good at before into a conventional weapon.
The Blazers didn't score a wave.
Looking back, Rose broke the layup and scored 2 more points.
After two or three rounds, the difference was pulled to 5 points.
When Lillard entered watch time, the two teams could stand still, but by comparison, the biggest gap was between the two teams.
The Trail Blazers' score cannot be continued, and it is likely to be directly streamed.
Anthony's midrange distance to catch the ball was still iron, Davis protected the defensive rebounds, the Trail Blazers' offense returned without success!
The scene was restless.
The plot that was familiar in the first scene will be staged again.
Fortunately, Boyan's chances outside the ball were not grasped, and Collins protected the defensive rebounds.
Mikelham pushed the ball to the frontcourt and played with Collins. After the disassembly, he rushed back to Collins.
Corinth took a shot from outside the arc.
"Oh!"
A crisp sound.
The atmosphere of the Moda Centre was once again lit.
This three-pointer is quite crucial!
The camera gives a close-up of Collins. This rookie from the casino, just 20 years old in 1997, looks handsome.
But immediately he was taught a lesson by Walker. Walker borrowed Davis' pick-and-roll singles and not only scored, but also caused his defensive foul.
When Walker added a free throw, the Pelicans also scored a three-pointer, which equaled the three-pointer he had just scored by Collins.
Walker's 2 + 1 pair of Pelicans' morale has improved greatly. Back to the defensive end, the Trail Blazers have no chance of consecutive pick-and-rolls.
Seeing that the attack time was about to come, McClum's double-handed pass to Collins went to Collins.
Collins had no choice but to force a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.
The ball in front is a chance ball, but this ball is completely difficult.
"boom!"
This shot was obviously too heavy, and the ball hit the rebound directly.
But after hitting it, the ball rebounded and fell into the net bag.
Despite some luck, Collins scored two three-pointers in a row!
The cheers at the scene were completely unstoppable.
The Trail Blazers' bench is also boiling.
Stouts even more rarely smiled.
These two three-pointers really blocked the wave of the Pelicans and saved the Blazers' life.
The gap between the benches of the two sides was wiped out by the killing of Corinth.
And that's not enough, back to the defensive end, Walker broke out again, this time Corinth did not play casually, gave interference but did not foul.
Walker didn't make a layup, and he also took the defensive rebound.
The Trail Blazers hit the fast break, and the Pelicans defended McCrum's fast break.
But no one noticed that Collins, who took the backcourt in the previous second, even quickly followed up to the frontcourt.
He received a return pass from McClum, a layup that made Butler's defensive foul!
He got two free throws!
Cheers on the scene reappeared ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Corinth's performance of this period is explosive.
Collins adjusted his breath.
In the first penalty, I entered the back edge.
The second penalty was hollow.
He has both penalties!
Trail Blazers, tied the score again!
Tang Tian now looked at the gambling guy.
Not to mention, this Collins is really a little handsome.
In this section, he scored 8 points in a row and was handsome and able to play.
And the most important thing is that it broke out in a timely manner, helping the Trail Blazers survive this substitute connection.
Not to mention the whole game, this is the first half, both teams played.
