Vol 2 Chapter 577: Winning Hot Pelicans

Tang Tian took a deep breath adjustment after landing.
Because of his explosives skill, he adjusted very quickly after the turtle bombing was redeemed.
And the Portland Trail Blazers were caught off guard.
After Stokes and the Trail Blazers react, his scoring should not be so easy, but it is enough.
In the opening 7-2, the Pelicans played away, but the momentum was better than the home team's Blazers.
Stouts shouted on the sideline to let the players pay attention to the defense, he did not mean to call a timeout.
If called so early, the Blazers really lose in momentum.
Tang Tian's extra free throws added another point to the Pelicans.
The Trail Blazers' offense, Aldridge misplaced singles Whiteside in the frontcourt, and turned back to make a hit.
These two points allowed the Blazers to temporarily stabilize the situation on the court.
Looking back, Tang Tian still held the ball.
This time Matthews obviously put Tang Tian a step, and he was passed twice in one step. He also realized that Tang Tian had changed the startup speed.
Tang Tian shot directly.
Iconic scissors legs, a dry pull in the middle distance.
"Oh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Tang Tian has worked hard for a summer, and his shooting feels better than last season!
Dry drawing, or all shooting techniques, is the same. Excluding injuries and uncontrollable factors, the more you practice, the more accurate you are.
This time Matthews is a little bit big. He can prevent Tang Tian from shooting and Tang Tian can step him forward. He can prevent Tang Tian from breaking through and can shoot him directly!
The two purple skills are concentrated together, and coupled with the feeling of Tang Tian tonight, he is really a bit puzzled.
Lillard's three-pointer after the pick-and-roll was missed, and Tang Tian hit Matthews in the frontcourt.
Matthews was a bit more forward. After Tang Tian speeded up one step and forced Matthews back, he stopped and then shot.
"Oh!"
Basketball goes through the net again!
The game had only been played for more than four minutes, and the Pelicans had led 8 points by 12-4!
Stouts reached for a timeout.
At this time, the momentum was irrelevant. He had to find a way to restrict Tang Tian.
Otherwise, according to Tang Tian's crazy scoring experience last season, he can really kill the Blazers a dozen or five alive.
After returning from the pause, Batum gave Lillard a sudden score, Lillard showed a big heart quality, and the large three-pointer scored.
The three-pointer lit the Moda Center, and the fans cheered.
Lillard also made his signature celebration in the retreat, reaching for his left wrist with his right hand.
It's his "time".
Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, Matthews posted it tightly, Tang Tian burst inward.
At this time, the Trail Blazers' defense strategy changed, and Batum let Ariza help him from the flanks.
Tang Tian's response was quick, and the ball was given to Ariza before the doubles were formed.
Ariza made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
"boom!"
The ball missed a little bit and jumped out of the basket.
But at this moment, Davis scored into the paint and filled the ball directly into the basket above Lopez's head!
After Tang Tian attracted most of the Blazers' defense, his chance came out!
14-7, the Pelicans continued to hold the lead.
"Come on, Blazers!"
The situation was unfavorable to the home team, and the DJ spurred the fans on the scene to cheer.
Lillard used Lopez's pick-and-roll to get inside, using rhythmic stops to avoid Whiteside's shots.
"boom!"
He successfully avoided Whiteside, but did not avoid Davis!
The blocking ability of the inside team of the Pelicans is a bit scary!
Davis closed the defensive rebounds with his long arm, and the Trail Blazers' offense failed.
However, they retreated quickly and did not allow the Pelicans to play fast.
Holliday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stabilized it, and gave it to Tang Tian.
The Trail Blazers still have the same defensive strategy. After Tang Tian broke through, Batum teamed up again.
Tang Tian continued to pass the ball to Ariza, who then received the ball and then shot.
"Oh!"
This time he seized the opportunity and the three-pointer hit the knife.
17 to 7!
After half a quarter, the Pelicans have achieved a double-digit lead!
Stouts reached out and rubbed his forehead, his face full of anxiety.
The basis of the double-team is to bet on Ariza's failure to make a shot. When the Pelicans started with Aminu last season, they did just that.
But now that Ariza has voted in, the problem is very big.
And Ariza is not the same as Morrow. His defense is not worse than Matthews. There is no easy breakthrough for the Pelicans on this lineup.
The first quarter hit more than 9 minutes and the score on the court was 21-10.
Both sides have begun to rotate.
The Pelicans allowed Ariza and Hollodi to stay on the court, replacing Gordon, Aminu and Jokic one after another.
The Trail Blazers have also rotated extensively, with Thomas Robinson, Carman, CJ McLumham and Steve Black being replaced one after another.
Mikelem came up with a shot, and Jokic used his body to protect the defensive rebounds.
Hollody held the ball to the front court and gave it to Jokic.
Holloday's cut attracted the defense, Gordon borrowed from Aminu's pick-and-roll on the perimeter, and Jokic threw a pass.
Gordon took a three-pointer and took the shot.
"Oh!"
Three-pointers penetrate the heart!
The Pelicans pulled the difference to 14 points!
The results brought by Nash's arrival have come out. Gordon's stability in receiving three-pointers has improved significantly.
McCollum used Kaman's pick-and-roll to get to the basket to score, and Jokic's defensive movement was indeed a bit slow.
Looking back, Jokic continued to organize, this time he gave the ball to Hollodi, who then returned to Aminu after meeting the defense.
Aminu quickly layup after receiving the ball.
After Stotts watched these two rounds, he felt his head became bigger.
The Pelicans starter is enough to cause headaches. What is the big fat man who pops out?
This hand responded so well to sort out the Pelicans' bench offense so well!
"This is the 27th show for the Pelicans this year."
The assistant coach aside saw the cloud on Stotts's face and explained.
Is this guy a rookie? !!
But also for ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Rookies from Europe have this characteristic, and they can fight very fast.
It looks like the Pelicans picked up treasure this year.
The starter nevertheless fought off the bench.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers were 35 to 55 behind the Pelicans by as much as 20 points!
"I have to take back what I said before, they are a favourite to win."
Drexler said sincerely after watching halftime.
This is not a one-on-one problem. The Pelicans' configuration from the start to the bench is too reasonable.
Even the problem of substitute organization points was resolved by Jokic's arrival.
Such a Pelicans, it is not appropriate that you do not categorize it as a championship favorite.
Brin didn't say anything, but he also assumed that Drexler said, ESPN, he will be beaten this year!
