Chapter 555 Grouping of Two Group Tie-breaks and Regional Finals
Soon the on-site game began. The state of the Pelicans today seems to be much better than the previous game. In the first round after the start of the game, Anthony hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc. And looking back, the Pelicans did not give their opponents too much room to shoot as they did in the previous game. The defense of the whole team was very hard in today's life-and-death battle. Just after halftime, he started to press the defense, because he was afraid that the opponent would play a super long three-pointer.

And the Warriors obviously knew that today would be a difficult battle, so in the tactical arrangement before the game, more singles were reduced, but various air-cut tactics after opening the inside line, and after the breakthrough. In the first round, Curry directly chose to break through Holiday's defense. Under the cover of Durant's pick-and-roll, Curry quickly broke through to the inside, but the tactics of the Pelicans But something changed. Instead of switching defenses, they directly let Davis on the inside make up, and then left Kao Shen to guard near the penalty area. You can choose to pass the ball, but this time, after Durant received the ball, he made a breakthrough. Brother Nongmei immediately switched to defense again, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and Durant made a mid-range shot.

In the next few rounds, Ye Xuan discovered a problem. The Pelicans' offensive thinking today is very clear, focusing on the inside, and Anthony's style of play as the core of the outside line does not fit well with the current tactic, so although Now it seems that the Pelicans have the upper hand, but when they hit the middle and late stages, they should encounter some problems.

And the state of the Warriors today is not known whether it is because of the away game, so it is not very good. Except for Durant hitting a mid-range shot in the first offense, they not only failed to be able to play in the next few rounds. Defending the Pelicans' inside scoring, and at the same time, his own scoring was also blocked by the opponent. Three shots made the iron and directly expanded the point difference to 6 points. When he looked back, Curry tried again from outside the three-point line. After the score failed, Cole decisively called a timeout. Seeing that the Warriors were passive, Ye Xuan was naturally very happy, and applauded happily.

A timeout was called over there, and the Pelicans naturally took a rest. Kim Terry didn't seem to be planning to make any personnel adjustments. He still let the Big Four play together on the court, and because the team still They are in the lead, so their current atmosphere is quite good.The audience at the scene also seemed more excited, and the start was relatively smooth.

At the end of the timeout, the Warriors made a direct substitution, replacing Slag Pachulia and replacing Iguodala. Obviously, they were planning to use the five small lineups in advance to make things happen. The Pelicans are not very friendly now. Although they have almost completely given up the inside defense after such a substitution, they can use methods such as double-teaming to force the Pelicans' inside shooting percentage to drop, and then use All five of them can shoot three-pointers to gradually gain some advantages.

Seeing this substitution, Ye Xuan felt that things were not good, but Ye Xuan immediately felt relieved during the subsequent game progress, because the Warriors actually had a collective strike today, first Curry and Klay Thompson. People took turns to hit the iron, Durant and Green could still score a little bit, and then played in the second half of the first quarter, the physical strength of the two players who were responsible for defending the inside began to decline, so after they also started to hit the iron frequently, the score of the Warriors All of a sudden, they started to stand still. Fortunately, seven or eight minutes had passed in the first quarter, and the rotation was about to begin. Therefore, the Warriors were not led too much by their opponents, but only slightly ahead. It's less than 8 points.

Turning around and pausing, the two teams began to rotate personnel one after another. The Pelicans replaced Big Eyebrow first, and Holiday was also replaced at the same time, leaving behind Anthony, who didn't play much in the first half, and his vitality. Kaoshen continued to fight against opponents on the court, while the Warriors were very straightforward. They directly replaced Livingston and David West and others, and started to play the rotation. Durant and Green naturally took the lead. After all, they are responsible for defending the two inside behemoths, which consume a lot of energy, and Curry's recent physical condition is not very good, and there is a danger of recurring ankle injuries at any time, so Cole dare not let him play for too long , Also replaced, leaving only Klay Thompson, who has already hit 6 of 1 today, on the court.

And Anthony is obviously in a very good state today. Although he is basically running back and forth with the others except for hitting the first goal, his hand feeling is still good. Ye Xuan also understands that Jin-Te The meaning of arranging personnel to play in this way is that there are players of Anthony's level floating on the outside, and opponents also need to think more before double-teaming. This is equivalent to reducing pressure on one's own inside in disguise.Wharton next to Ye Xuan obviously felt that the Pelicans were going to win this game, so at first he just recorded some of the current habits of the Warriors in his notebook, and halfway through, he also started A record for the Pelicans.

In fact, if I really want to say it, the Lakers should be regarded as the team that knows the Warriors best in the league, because their head coach was the assistant coach of the Warriors at the time. Even during the Warriors' 27-game winning streak last season, Ke Er was absent due to injury for a while, so Walton Jr. also served as the head coach of the Warriors for a short period of time, so he has a very good understanding of the Warriors' various skills and tactics, including the personalities of the players. Apart from Durant, who just joined for a short time, Walton Jr. has also told Ye Xuan and others about some characteristics, small habits, etc. of other players. Always able to find a breakthrough, a fatal blow.

Of course, apart from this advantage, the advantage of Ye Xuan as a 'point guard' in his own position is too obvious, which makes even Curry, who struggles to play against a guard like Irving Westbrook, very uncomfortable. Every time I face a slut like Ye Xuan who is in his early years and insists that he is a purebred point guard, he will be eaten to death. After Curry is contained, the Warriors' firepower has been reduced by more than half. This is also the reason why the Lakers were able to lead their opponents 3:1 in the regular season, and the loss was because Ye Xuan hit someone and was directly expelled.

Ye Xuan's thoughts were flying wildly on the sidelines, while Anthony on the court began to let himself go. With this lineup, he has absolute control over the ball, so he played very happily, and his shooting rate today is also a bit abnormal. The part where he hit three three-pointers even reminded Ye Xuan of the scene where he and himself soared three-pointers when he first played against him. In fact, after forming the Big Four, Anthony's sacrifice It is very big. Before the formation of the Big Four, Anthony was able to average 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game. After Cousins ​​was traded, Anthony's scoring average dropped to only about 16 points per game, but the assists were average. It has increased by about 1.5, and the average number of shots per game has also decreased by 3.1. It can be said that he is not only the oldest player among the team's core players, but also the player who sacrificed the most.So at the end of the game, when the ball commented on Anthony's serious decline, Ye Xuan complained for Anthony, and when he saw that the old Melon started to let himself go again, Ye Xuan knew that the society is me. , is still so powerful.

In this game, due to the state gap between the two teams, there is nothing to say at all. The Warriors only scored 21 points in the first quarter, while the Pelicans scored as high as 38 points, leading their opponents by 17 points in an instant. And that's just one section.Of course, for the Warriors, it is not impossible to recover the difference of more than ten points, but this requires them to adjust their state quickly, and judging from their performance in the second quarter, they obviously failed to adjust. At the end of the game, the Pelicans directly scored 77 points, the team's highest score in halftime, while the Warriors only scored 53 points. The 24-point halftime lead is also the largest in the playoffs so far.

Ye Xuan felt that there was nothing interesting in this game, but he did not expect that the opponent suddenly recovered in the second half, and the situation Ye Xuan was worried about also happened. The decline made the Warriors continue to seize opportunities and start chasing points. Almost inversely proportional to the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of the two teams dropped instantly. In the third quarter, the Warriors hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, and instantly The score was narrowed, but fortunately, the Pelicans' inside scoring was relatively stable, so they were able to maintain a 10-point lead into the final quarter.

The sudden change in the situation on the field made Ye Xuan on the sidelines stunned, because he had never experienced such a big difference between the first half and the second half of the game, but by the fourth quarter the game had already started When it was the last 2 minutes, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The 24-point difference in the first half was really too big, which was enough for the Pelicans to get a certain amount of rest in the face of intense physical exertion. The opportunity to adjust. After the fourth quarter, the two teams played against each other again. The Warriors found that their opponents were no longer as easy to deal with as they were in the third quarter. They quickly recovered their status without being knocked out. In the fourth quarter In the middle, the two teams finally found the anxious feeling of the first five games, and the score has been very tight. At this time, the 5 points left by the Pelicans after three quarters of the game showed its value. With one and a half minutes left at the end, the Pelicans led their opponents by 20 points, and in this offense, Brother Nongmei, who had hit two irons in a row, did not continue to miss, and made a steady hook. While the offensive time consumed 7 seconds, the point difference was widened to [-] points. Seeing this, Ye Xuan knew that the Pelicans should be stable in this game.

Sure enough, nothing unexpected happened at the last moment. The Pelicans finally defeated the visiting Golden State Warriors 123:119 at their home court, and the total score was tied three to three, which means , the Lakers can continue to watch the show again. They swept their opponents in the semifinals of the division, but their opponents in the Western Conference Finals needed to play the tiebreaker. This is a huge advantage, whether it is in terms of physical fitness or tactics. .

And this is actually not the first group of games where the tiebreaker has already been determined. In the East, the Pacers and Cavaliers also fought to a [-]-[-] tie. There are exceptions to everything, especially this year, every game of the two teams is very anxious, so anything can happen in the last game, the only thing to worry about is some small actions of the league, As we all know, the league is more willing to favor teams with super popular players like the Cavaliers, Warriors and Lakers in some penalties, while teams like the Pelicans and Pacers are not very popular. So, the final result of these two tiebreakers can only be known after the game is over.

As for the Eastern side, the Raptors still failed to last to the seventh game. After two good games, the trash brothers started sleepwalking again. Lost four games in a row, this is the end of the season for the Raptors.

And the fans of the Celtics said, "I seem to have seen this episode." 'After all, they lost two games at home in the first round, and then won four games in a row to directly advance to the next round. Of course, they now need to wait for the victory between the Cavaliers and the Pacers Compared with these exciting matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the attention of the Eastern Conference may be reduced by a level in the conference finals. After all, the Celtics' combat effectiveness is really weak. He also lost two games first against the eighth-ranked team, and two games first against the fourth-ranked team. Now their opponents are either ranked third or ranked second. If he can't win at least one game in the first two games, then these two experienced teams should not give him the chance to let the second chase the fourth.

After watching the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors, the Lakers did not bother the Pelicans who were celebrating. After all, they still need to have a life-and-death duel before they can advance, so the space is left to them, but now It seems that at least the Lakers are the biggest winners now, because they can not only understand some opponents' tactical thinking, but also gain a certain lead in terms of physical strength.
