Vol 3 Chapter 282: Fight to the last moment

Davis has scored 26 points! In this series, he has scored more than 30 in two consecutive games. With the addition of the first round, he has scored more than 30 in four consecutive games. In this way, Davis scored 30 points in this game, and there shouldn't be any big problems!
Putting it on anyone who plays in the NBA league, consecutive 30+ is a thing to be proud of. 30+ consecutive playoffs is even more incredible! But now Davis's face didn't have the slightest color of joy. His team was overtaken again! He had too many questions in his heart, but no one gave him the answer.
Everyone's mood is very low. I thought that going back to New Orleans would change, but the result was heartbreaking. It seems that everything is no different.
"Uh……"
Davis wanted to say something. But I don't know how to speak. He is really not used to such an atmosphere. He is also not used to such a role. From start to finish, Anthony Davis was not a qualified leader. He prefers to charge forward on the court.
In this Pelicans, there is no player who can clean up the locker room. Holiday's character is more restrained than Davis, otherwise, his achievements are much higher than now. Moore's personality is quite good, but both ability and fame are average. Can't suppress these bigwigs. Mirotic, who joined the Pelicans at the end, has a bad reputation and newcomers are not suitable for such a thing. After all, it would be nice not to become a cancer in the dressing room under the name of Brother Bloodbath!
The only one who can say a few words is Rondo!
As a veteran in the league for many years, he won the championship. Rondo has extensive playoff experience and skilled offensive and defensive skills. Although he has been wandering around all these years, once he is useful, he can perform what people want to see. Just like last season in the Bulls vs. Celtics series, and this season in the Pelicans vs. Trail Blazers series. And this season, Rondo often picked up Gentry's tactical board and played the role of field commander. In his words, these players are quite convinced. Moreover, he himself seemed to understand that it was time to stand up and do something.
"Hey hey! Guys! Don't be frustrated! Do you start to reflect before the game is over!" Rondo clapped his hands and scanned the players who couldn't understand the downcast. After everyone turned their attention, he continued: "Although we are a little behind now, in fact we have only one thing we didn't do well! If we do this well, the score will soon be pulled back. . Victory still belongs to the New Orleans Pelicans!"
With that said, even Gentry came around with a tactical board. He is pulling Holiday and talking about some tactics. He thinks Holiday's performance in this series is the main reason why the Pelicans are passive. The other points are played very well. So he took advantage of this little time to take Holiday to face to face.
"We lead every game in the first two quarters because we defended their perimeter offense very well. But in the second half, that defense becomes lax! They start scoring outside the three-point line and then Pulling on our line of defense, we eventually fell inside and outside."
At this moment, Rondo looked up at Gentry. After all, the head coach of the Pelicans is him, not himself. Rondo still respects Gentry very much. Seeing Gentry nodded, he continued: "Next, we will push the defense line directly outside. Let them go inside. We have Anthony, and the defense problem is not big. Don't worry about the first position, the shooting is not accurate! We... "
In fact, what Rondo said was emphasized by Gentry before the game. But when all the Pelicans players were very confused, he once again clearly geographed the tactics that he had arranged before. Although they couldn't achieve radical changes, at least these players knew what to do. This is very important to the current Pelicans.
After the timeout, the Pelicans began to make changes. As Rondo said, they pushed their defense to the three-point line. Although the overall situation is only one step outside, the restrictions on Anluo and Paul George have increased a lot. Under such circumstances, the Thunder's aggressive outside attack in the second quarter went out. An Luo's good days are over! The double insurance of Holiday and Rondo made him very difficult. As soon as the basketball gets into his hands, he will immediately double-team! And it's a double-team from two top perimeter defenders.
Westbrook suddenly became the Rondo of the Thunder! He was emptied on the three-point line. Although his three-pointer is much better than the bulge, but this game has not been able to find the touch ~EbookFREE.me~ After being double-teamed, An Luo immediately passed the basketball to the short-cut threat. Sbruck. After the latter received the ball, he found no one to defend, and immediately shot!
"boom!"
Hit the iron!
Davis grabbed the rebound and passed it to Rondo. The latter rushed immediately after receiving the ball. The Thunder retreated quite quickly, and Anluo got stuck in front of Rondo's right with a charge, letting him go to the left. The fast break failed and Rondo stopped outside the three-point line. He certainly didn't want to shoot, but waited for Davis to pick and roll himself. Although it was also a pick-and-roll, this time Davis did not go to the basket, but retreated outside the three-point line.
An Luo knew it was going to be bad after switching over! Davis has three points! And there is no good way to defend such a big high fort Anluo.
Adams did a good job of guarding, Rondo's breakthrough failed. But An Luo really has a problem here. After Davis made a wide catch from the three-point line, he shot it in front of An Luo. Although An Luo tried to raise his hands to interfere. But his perverted wingspan can only be blamed in front of Davis.
The so-called: one trick to eat fresh all over the sky. When Davis discovered that Rondo had told him that the tactics were very effective, he had been floating beyond the three-point line. With the addition of Mirotic, the Pelicans' position on the court suddenly became weird: the shortest Rondo stayed at the basket, Holiday and Moore, the two guards stayed within the three-point line, Dai The two big men, Wis and Mirotic, floated outside. What's more frightening is that the hands of these two big men are quite hot!
However, Thunder's actions are also fast! Donovan changed Paul George and Anlow to a defensive position. Although Davis could not be completely restricted, the Pelicans' offense also weakened. However, they have recovered the score a lot!
