In basketball games, once confidence collapses, the game basically loses suspense.
Especially in nba, a group of beasts can instantly widen the difference to your despair.
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Bucks 122-77 at home.
If Stevens weren't on the bench and the bench at the last minute, the score of both sides would probably go to 58 points again.
With a big score of 3 to 0, the net win was close to 30 points per game.
After the three games in the Finals, no one on social media thinks the Bucks can win.
Those who have this kind of thought again are either stupid or stupid.
And the Pelican fans have already begun to celebrate four consecutive championships on social media in advance.
No one even thought they were poisoning milk this time.
Because the series hit here, just like the Spurs beat the Cavaliers in 2007, there is no longer any suspense.
Two days later, the fourth game of the series continued at the New Orleans Arena.
There is still an hour before the start of the game, and the stadium is full.
And most of the fans who came to the scene did not wear the t-shirts distributed by the stadium, but put on their most solemn clothes.
Tonight will be an absolutely memorable day for them.
Prior to this, except for the Celtics in ancient times, no team was able to complete four consecutive championships.
But now they are done!
This is an honor that is absolutely proud of, and a night that will definitely make them crazy.
The league's staff, league president Tatum, and the Pelicans' rebounds, Gail Benson, all came to the arena.
Media staff from various countries also took the seats early.
Around the world, a large number of fans are standing in front of the television, ready to meet this historic moment.
About half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides have entered the arena.
The emotions on the faces of the two teams are completely different.
The Bucks are dead-hearted, don't even laugh, they talk very little.
It can be seen that the series has played so far, and they have no hope of the game.
On the other hand, the Pelicans side talked and laughed, with a smile that couldn't hide from their faces.
Like the fans, they are ready for the fourth consecutive championship.
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.
There was a change in the Bucks, and Snell replaced Redick as the starting shooting guard.
This substitution by Budenholzer is a signal to strengthen defense.
The Pelicans are still on the lineup, with Davis and Green still serving.
Compared to the Pelicans, the 12-man roster is even more interesting. Both Anthony and Ding Yanyu Hang who have not been on the activation list before are here.
NBA has a rule that only players who have played in the finals and have data will have a championship ring engraved with their name.
Stevens is obviously thinking about his players.
It is still the appearance ceremony.
The cheers of the fans were deafening.
This appearance ceremony is not only the Pelicans, but also a belief of their fans.
After the ceremony, the two sides appeared one after another.
Davis jumped out of the alphabet this time, giving the Pelicans a chance to lead the attack.
It's a very interesting thing. Although the competition is not predictably fierce, at the beginning, the ratings broke a new high.
Gasol came up and received a pass from Brogden to take two points inside.
This is also the keynote of this game. After the game started, there was a downside situation.
The Bucks' offense and defense performance is not as good as the previous game.
They are now a group of soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit and have no intention of fighting.
The Pelicans are playing freely.
If it wasn't for the on-site battle, you might not see that this is an NBA Finals.
With more than 9 minutes in the first quarter, the Pelicans had led the Bucks by 15 points with a 28-13 lead.
Both sides enter the bench rotation.
There is a normal rotation over the Bucks, with Redick, Dellavidova and Ilyasova.
But on the Pelicans side, they all replaced, Alexander, Carter, Kuzma, Siacom and Harrell all came on.
Stevens obviously expanded the rotation.
This rotation is an opportunity for the Bucks to chase points.
However, the Bucks really have no fighting spirit, this time I did not recover 1 point difference.
When the second quarter begins, Stevens continues to expand his rotation, and Ding Yan Yuhang also gets a chance to play.
This is a rotation of 11 people, with 6 substitutes.
That's the substitution, and the Bucks didn't take much advantage.
The army without morale collapsed in one blow, and the team without morale had no combat power.
However, this rotation is happy for Chinese fans, because in addition to seeing Tang Tian, they can also see Ding Yan Yuhang.
Ding Yanyu Hang didn't get much chance after entering the playoffs, and it was really a happiness to see him on the final stage.
In addition, Ding Yanyuhang had an excellent performance after entering the field, scored sports goals, and showed excellent competitive status.
This performance also shows that he is not lack of strength, but the other Pelicans are too good.
The Bucks failed to seize the opportunity to approach the score in the bench transition, and when the main team returned, they continued to spread the gap. UU reading books
After halftime, the Pelicans led the Bucks 25 points by 60 to 35.
Defeated defeat is the most appropriate adjective in the half game.
Budenholzer is also helpless on the sidelines. He and his team really have a long way to go.
At halftime, Pelicans fans have begun on social media.
The four consecutive championships are getting closer and closer to their steps!
Back in the second half, the Bucks played some performances in the opening game and successfully tracked the difference to within 20 points.
Budenholzer's voice is hoarse, and he can see that he is working hard to motivate the team in the midfield.
However, there is a real gap between the strengths of the two sides. Tang Tian and Davis worked together to make a 10-2 offensive and pulled the difference back.
After three quarters, the difference between the two sides was close to 30 points.
When the opening period of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans continued to rotate lineups, cheering on the scene.
Anthony also got a chance to play!
The Pelicans' 12-person activation list is all on the list!
Anthony gave Stevens a grateful look when he came on. For him, the title ring with and without name is really much worse.
Fans at the scene also began to stand and cheer.
Not only because he is Anthony, but also from past game experience, when Anthony gets a chance to play, it is difficult for the Pelicans to lose.
And the very loving scene is that after Anthony came on the court, his teammates were giving him opportunities.
It's not enough to play, and it needs data to have a name on the championship ring.
Anthony played for a long time.
But by the third time, he received a pass from Ding Yan Yuhang, and the licking basket at close range finally scored!
In this way, the entire Pelicans team of 15 people played in the finals, and there is data to account for!
