Calm, Tang Tian was calm when he said this, and the players felt calm after listening.
But calm is not indifferent.
Instead, they resonated strongly with what Tang Tian said at this moment.
This is actually a very philosophical statement.
There is no chance of a return in life, even if it is just a trivial matter, a choice, even a decision.
As Tang Tian said, looking back on this matter in the future will have a different mood, and this mood is their own determination.
Or psychologically admit defeat in advance, make a cut, annoyed in the future, after all, this is the opportunity for five consecutive championships.
Or let go and fight, even if you fail, at least you know that you have committed all your five consecutive championships.
No one shouted a slogan, but from the eyes of the players, they could feel that their hearts were extremely firm at this moment.
Stevens turned his head to Tang Tian at this time with a high praise.
He now feels that Tang Tian's level of chicken soup has entered a state that others cannot reach.
It's not decibels, it's not emotions, it just makes you resonate and makes you believe it's the truth.
In the afternoon, the Pelicans set off for San Antonio.
1 to 3 behind, away combat, for them, all external conditions are the most unfavorable.
In the handicap given by the Spinach website before the game, they also made a full 10+ points.
No one thinks they can win Game 5.
Except themselves.
The next night, the Pelicans and Spurs played at the ATT Arena.
The attendance rate at the scene was full, and the fans' faces were full of excitement.
Their thoughts are the same as the outside world thinks, ready to welcome the team into the brilliant moment of the finals.
The rise of Leonard and the addition of Aldridge and George have made the Spurs a championship-level team after the GDP era.
But in the past few years, the western part of the country has been a group of devil dancing all the time, and they are fighting for hegemony. The last time they reached the finals will go back to 2014.
That was the first season after Tang Tian left. They had just completed the dynasty and lost to the Heat led by James in the finals.
They never entered again after that.
Tonight they can reproduce that glory.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineup of the two teams was released.
The Spurs are also the last star-studded lineup, with Forbes and Bellinelli on the outside, George and Leonard on the front, and Aldridge at the center.
Stevens changed again this time, with Brogden and Holliday on the perimeter, Durant and Ariza on the front and center Davis.
It can be seen from Stevens' frequent changes that the Pelicans are at a disadvantage. The constant change is to find opportunities.
"Shaq, how do you think the Pelicans have a chance to win tonight?"
The game hadn't started yet, and Barkley started the heat.
"30%, less than 30%."
O'Neal is really realistic. With Tang Tian away, his view of the Pelicans has completely changed.
Buckley couldn't help laughing, then turned to look at Smith.
"40%, the Pelicans they won in the third game, they deserve this ratio."
Kenny Smith is relatively objective.
However, from the perspective of the two, including Barkley's reaction, the Big Three are the same as the outside world and are optimistic that the Spurs will enter the finals tonight.
As said before, no one is optimistic about them except the Pelicans themselves.
The game started quickly and Davis jumped for the Pelicans with a first chance.
However, Durant's attack was missed by Leonard.
Stevens changed this lineup to increase offensive flexibility on both ends, but it turned out that Durant was not efficient in playing the third position.
However, Davis struggled for a while and Davis couldn't catch the rebound.
The angle of the ball was not very good. Hollodi didn't catch the ball and saw the ball flying out of bounds to save it.
Others rushed into the Spurs' bench, but unfortunately did not save the ball.
The Pelicans' first offense failed.
Looking back at the Spurs' frontcourt position, Leonard singled Ariza and Durant assisted.
Leonard passed the ball in advance, and George was ready to make a three-pointer from the outside.
The weak side Hollodi flies for defense.
George shook his head a little and flew Hollodi before he shot.
But the moment he shot, one hand interfered again.
It's Holloday!
After being shaken and flying, he did not give up, but rushed over again.
The ball was not covered, but George's shot was affected and he hit a three-pointer.
"The Pelicans are very motivated tonight."
Kenny Smith commented.
"Yes, but that is not enough for them to win."
O'Neal smiled and shook his head.
His words didn't fall. Durant played a pick-and-roll with Davis in the frontcourt. Durant was blocked out of the ball and was intercepted by Leonard.
The Spurs are also very excited tonight. After years of failure to reach the finals, each of them has a desire on their faces.
But Leonard didn't hold the ball, and Davis broke it from behind!
The Pelicans' enthusiasm tonight is not very good, it is very high!
After Davis steals, he turns around and slams directly.
Wrong in and out, Davis topped the Pelicans.
However, Leonard immediately turned back and beat Ariza back.
You hit me a ball, I will return you a ball immediately, tonight the two teams are like beasts trapped in cages, showing their fangs and fighting.
In the frontcourt of the Pelicans, Durant held the ball to play George alone, and George slammed the ball out.
But George didn't control the ball either. Leonard caught the ball after he left, but Ariza quickly caught the ball.
The two fell to the ground in a scramble, and Hollodi rushed at this time, followed by Brogden and Forbes.
The court was full of big men.
The referee whistle sounded and blew the ball.
"what……"
Buckley and O'Neal looked at each other.
Generally, Leonard can get the ball with his hand, but the Pelicans' enthusiasm is too high.
And it's not alone, it's the whole team.
Leonard and Ariza's jump ball, Leonard moved the ball to the Spurs halftime.
At this moment, Durant sprinted like a high jump, completely ignoring his body, leaning up and jumping to grab the ball.
Most of Durant's body was on George on this ball, which was quite dangerous. They all gave a shock to Barkley of the commentary. UU Reading Book www. uukanshu.com
Fortunately, George was here and hugged Durant in advance to prevent him from falling.
The scene applauded George's move.
"I can see that they are not here to play tonight."
At the commentary table, Barkley, who had come back, said.
Both Smith and O'Neal turned to look at him.
"They came here desperately."
Buck made the most accurate summary with the simplest sentence.
Both Smith and O'Neal nodded.
This game is the match point for the Spurs and also the Pelicans' backwater battle.
In desperation, the members of the Pelican team really looked like a Han army being forced to the banks of the Huangshui River.
