The Golden Invincible of Basketball

The news of Tang Tian and Davis trophy trophy was quickly exposed by the media.

This also attracted heated discussions among fans on social media.

"This is the determination, Tang and ad broke the boat, the Pelicans will win this year!"

"74 wins, this is already proof of strength. The Pelicans are the strongest team in the league this season, and the championship is already in the hands! (Pun intended)

"Looking forward to the moment when the Pelicans win, to look forward to Don's proposal, to look forward to the birth of New Orleans history!"

...

"I won the championship trophy before winning the championship? That's too showy!"

"Although the Pelicans have 74 wins this season, the Warriors have also won 73. This approach will stimulate the Warriors and other opponents, and they will lose out!"

"I really look forward to the moment when the Pelicans are eliminated. I really want to see the expressions of Don and Anthony Davis at that time. It must be very interesting!"

...

The views of the fans are very clear, divided into two groups of support and mockery.

In this voice, the door to the playoffs has quietly opened.

The Pelicans Mavericks in the west, the Spurs Thunder, the Cavaliers Nets in the east, and the Hawks in the Heat, the first four teams played.

Dallas is very close to New Orleans, and they arrived in New Orleans on the day of the game.

And after arriving in New Orleans, they only had one or two hours to adapt to the new training.

The Mavericks looked good.

Although playing the first place as the eighth, this did not seem to affect their morale.

"We all know the strength of the Pelicans, they are not easy to deal with, but we are the same, we played well in the second half of the season, which shows that our mutual understanding is getting better and better, we have many points, we There is a chance to win the series. "

One of the core of the team, Jimmy Butler, also showed confidence in front of reporters.

"We know your relationship with Don is very good, will this affect your game?"

The reporter then asked.

"No, our off-court relationship will not affect the performance on the court. On the contrary, because I am familiar with him, that will help me defend him better."

Butler replied bluntly.

Many fans already have hope for the Mavericks' Black Eight. Butler's remarks in the interview were justified and made them more convinced.

An hour before the start of the game, fans began to enter the New Orleans Arena in droves.

The fans' faces were full of confidence. Many fans saw reporters carrying cameras to shoot and screamed at their slogans.

"Pelican Championship!"

Tang Tian and Davis tattooed the fans on social media, and the supporting party gradually began to unify.

And this sentence is their slogan.

And it's not just verbal, many fans are holding such signs on the kt board.

This slogan is catchy, and will definitely accompany the Pelicans throughout the playoffs this year!

Half an hour before the game, the New Orleans Arena was full, and fans could not wait for the playoffs of the new season.

Both team members make final preparations in the locker room.

"Keep the usual mindset, don't get too excited, all we have to do is play normally."

Stevens's pre-match speech was very peaceful. Instead of mobilizing the emotions of the players, he made the players as calm as possible.

He is well aware of the difference in strength between the two teams. As long as the Pelicans play normally, they will have a big win.

Fifteen minutes after the start of the game, the players from both sides entered the arena and started to warm up.

Tang Tian and Butler said hello in the midfield, but it was just a hello.

The two have a good relationship in private, but now as opponents, it is not suitable for too much communication.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams' starters came out one after another.

The Mavericks played all over, with Deron and Butler on the perimeter, Harris and Nowitzki on the front, and Embiid in the center.

The same goes for the Pelicans, with Holliday and Tang Tian on the perimeter, Ariza and Davis on the front and Jokic on the center.

Davis looked a little excited, and at the moment the whistle sounded, he bounced the ball back to halftime, giving the Pelicans a chance to take the lead.

The regular season is long and the playoffs are equally long.

Now playing the first game of the first round, the Pelicans did not attack Tang Tian at this point, but Jokic organized in the frontcourt.

Stevens's purpose is also very clear. He doesn't want Tang Tian to consume it prematurely, but wants to make other people adapt to the playoff intensity through the previous game.

In this way, everyone can come out in the Western Conference finals and even the finals.

Davis's air cut is very beautiful, and Jokic gave the ball in a timely manner. Davis took the ball and jumped.

"Oh!"

However, it may be that he was so excited that the goal he was going to get was even dunked.

Embiid protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans retreated quickly, the Mavericks attacked the frontcourt, and Nowitzki played with the ball in the back post.

Nowitzki's playing time is limited after he gets older, Carlisle will hit him as much as possible while he is on the field.

And when Nowitzki played back, the Mavericks had a three-pointer and air-cut coordination on the weak side of the ball.

As a master of tactics, Carlisle is no worse than Stevens.

Nowitzki turned and leaned back after a few hits, and the iconic Rooster shot independently.

Davis has a lot of defensive coverage, but he can't cover this shot, so he can only try his best to interfere.

"Oh!"

Nowitzki is a veteran driver even in the playoffs.

In the Pelicans' positional battle, Tang Tian played No. 1 tactics and broke through to attract the team to Ariza.

Ariza shakes Harris with the ball, catches the ball and slams in, killing Embiid's shot and causing the latter to foul.

It's a pity that both of his free throws were a bit big, and the ball bounced off the back of the rim.

The Mavericks failed to fight back, and Nowitzki continued to hold the ball.

This time he turned around and gave the ball to Harris, who cut it short-range and made a mid-range shot.

Harris is the same rookie as Tang Tian ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The draft pick is not high, and the opportunities he received in the previous two years are not many.

However, he enriches his offensive skills one step at a time, and is now a super starting player. With that sudden stop jumper, it is a bit of a poor version of Anthony.

The opening rounds became a microcosm of the two teams' first half games.

Although Stevens had called before the game, the Pelicans were a little too excited in the first game of the playoffs.

Excitement is good, but too excited, just like Davis's dunk and Ariza's free throw.

The Mavericks have played steadily with Nowitzki and Harris.

After the halftime play, the Mavericks were mainly anti-visitors, leading the Pelicans by 8 points to 50 to 42.

Such a score excites fans who support the Mavericks on the hotline, and Black Eight is expected!
