Chapter 1216 Continuous Sweeps! Average Win Margin of 20+ per Game!

Fans on the hotline hope that Cole can enjoy the game and stop working so hard.

But obviously, Cole couldn't see it and wouldn't do it.

He did the same thing in the second half as he did in the first.

The third quarter of the 73-win Warriors is their time. This season Curry has a performance similar to his 73-win peak season. He naturally hopes that the Warriors can launch a counterattack in the third quarter.

But reality did not go as he wished.

The overall strength of the Pelicans is overwhelming the Warriors, and Tang Tian will not be unable to score at critical moments.

The key to chasing points is to defend successfully and then have a climax of counterattack.

But they clearly failed to do so.

On the contrary, in the second half of the quarter, they were attacked by the Pelicans, and the point difference was widened to more than 25 points.

The game was concluded at this point.

The Pelicans suppressed the Warriors from the beginning and eventually suppressed them until the end, defeating their opponents 121-96 and winning their first victory in the opening game of the playoffs.

Curry scored 28 points in three quarters, but could only sit on the bench in the final quarter.

Tang Tian scored 30 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists in three quarters, Davis had 18 points and 8 rebounds, Brogdon had 15 points, Kuzma and Harrell each scored 13 points.

After the opening game, the fans' discussions about the game after the game are naturally inevitable.

In addition to sympathy for Green's tragic experience, more fans discussed the game itself.

Curry's performance in the regular season this season is as good as when he won 73 games, and his performance of 28 points in three quarters was also outstanding.

Although the Warriors are ranked sixth, their record of 54 wins is not bad.

However, the game still ended in the third quarter.

Just like what experts said before the start of the playoffs, although Pelicans fans are shouting for the Pelicans to win four consecutive championships, more people are still optimistic about the Lakers and Spurs winning.

But after the game, some fans changed their views.

The Warriors have been beaten like this, and the strength shown by the Pelicans in the playoffs is not inferior to that of the Lakers and Spurs.

But the game had only been played once, and only a few fans had such thoughts.

After two days of rest, the Pelicans sit at home and face the Warriors in their second game.

It is worth mentioning that after the defeat in the first game, the Warriors' training was no longer open to the public.

Obviously, Cole no longer wants to hear Green's depressing words of inferiority like he did in the last game.

This is also a kind of self-adjustment by the Warriors.

That night, Game 2 of the series between the Pelicans and Warriors continued at the New Orleans Arena.

In this game, Cole made a lineup adjustment and directly replaced Green with Gay at the starting fourth position.

This adjustment also had an effect at the beginning. They quickly coordinated defense and they played a very good defensive quality.

Coupled with the Pelicans' decline in outside touch this time, they were tied with the Pelicans halfway through the first quarter.

But the game changed fundamentally in the second half of this quarter.

And the person who made everything change was Tang Tian.

After Stevens saw that the team's outside touch was not good, he adjusted his tactics and allowed Tang Tian to play more freely.

This fight was like a flood that had opened up. The widow, who had not met a man for more than ten years, was out of control.

Tang Tian felt hot in this game, with super long shots, three-pointers, pull-ups, and dunks coming all the time.

As a result, he scored 20 points in the first half of the game, and he helped the Pelicans widen the point difference to more than 15 points.

The tone of the game was basically set.

Tang Tian only played three quarters in the entire game, but he scored a playoff high of 50 points, defeating the game in three quarters on his own.

The Pelicans finally defeated the Warriors again 130-108, winning two consecutive games in the series.

Curry still played steadily and scored 30 points in three quarters, but in the end he couldn't escape the ending of being benched in the last quarter.

After two games, I think there are more voices on the Pelicans and Lakers Spurs side.

And this time it was stronger than before.

The Warriors' wing configuration of Thompson, Iguodala, Gay, and Green is not bad.

But it turns out that such a configuration is completely insufficient in front of Tang Tian now.

In the first game, the Pelicans proved their strength, and in the second game, they showed that with Tang Tian, ​​all problems can be solved.

"We're not going to give up, we're going to forget the last two games and start again at home."

But Cole really doesn't want to enjoy life like the fans on social media. He just wants to win.

Or for the final dignity, the Warriors must win at least one game.

After all, they had an excuse to face the 80-win Pelicans last year, and this year's Pelicans only have two stars.

Two days later, the two teams hosted the coaches for Game 3 of the series in Oakland.

The Warriors worked hard to mobilize fans before the game, and the basketball atmosphere at Oracle Arena was extremely high.

Curry's iconic three-pointer in the tunnel before the game brought the atmosphere to a climax early.

But after the game started, the fans' emotions quickly disappeared.

Tang Tian secretly touched the heads of his teammates before the game. As a result, after the Pelicans started, everyone from Tang Tian to Davis, and then from Davis to others, was in a state of being on stimulants.

The Warriors were full of confidence and wanted revenge at home. They made sufficient preparations before the game and worked hard during the game, but they were defeated by the Pelicans in the first quarter.

As a result, this game did not reach the third quarter and half of the game was spent.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Warriors by 40 points, 140 to 100.

Oracle Arena started in full swing, but by the end it was silent and as cold as an ice cellar.

After this game, not only some, but most fans feel that the Pelicans are underestimated. They are a team on the same level as the Lakers and Spurs!

Amid the heated discussion among fans, two days later, the fourth game of the series between the Pelicans and Warriors continued at Oracle Arena.

After being brutally beaten in Game 3, the Warriors were completely beaten.

Cole finally sat on the bench and enjoyed life quietly, as fans on social media said.

The Pelicans quickly opened up the score from the opening and led all the way to the end, easily winning 113-93.

A fact that makes Warriors fans speechless is that the Warriors lost nearly 30 points every game when they played seriously, but after disarming, they only lost 20 points.

It would be as if the score was not decided by them, but entirely by the Pelicans.

After four games, the Pelicans' first round ended with an average margin of victory of 26.75 points in 4 games. They swept the Warriors 4-0 and easily advanced to the second round.

This kind of result may not have been imagined by anyone before the playoffs started.

After the fans recognized the strength of the Pelicans, they finally ushered in the matchup they were looking forward to.

When the Pelicans ended the series, the Bucks in the East and the Lakers and Spurs in the West also swept their opponents to end their respective series.

The Pelicans also ushered in their second-round opponent, one of the favorite teams to win the championship this season, the Super Spurs led by Popovich.
