The camera focuses on Kerr, who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, without much emotional change.

In the Warriors' offense, Curry continued his excellent touch from beyond the arc, directly hitting the net.

No matter how high the Pelicans' defensive enthusiasm is, it is difficult to completely limit the Warriors' offense.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc. After waiting for Tang Tian and Davis to be in position, he passed the ball to Tang Tian this time.

It's Davis' turn after Tang Tian!

The defensive intensity Tang Tian received was not at the same level as Davis. Green directly double-teamed him.

Tang Tian reacted quickly. Seeing Green coming, he threw the ball directly towards the basket.

Davis and Tang Tian had played together for two seasons and had a great understanding. He had already moved to the inside lane before Tang Tian threw the ball.

As Tang Tian threw the ball, he jumped up.

The ball arrived, and he pressed the ball with his right hand, directly smashing the ball into the basket.

An alley-oop play between Tang Tian and Davis.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

The Pelicans scored on both possessions to start the game!

And the Warriors don't seem to have much of a solution to this new trick from the Pelicans!

Curry's drive to the basket was interfered with by Davis, and the ball bounced off the rim. Jokic secured the defensive rebound.

After Holiday got the ball, he wasn't in a hurry, dribbling the ball steadily to the frontcourt before passing it to Jokic again.

Jokic continued to pass the ball to Tang Tian.

The Warriors had communication on the defensive end, and this time it was Bogut who shrunk inside.

Tang Tian didn't wait for Bogut to double-team him, and directly turned around and faded away on the baseline.

The Warriors' help defense was fast, and Tang Tian's offense was also very fast.

This was completely a duel between the highest levels.

"Clang!"

However, he failed to score this time, as Thompson's defensive interference was in place.

Bogut happened to turn around and protect the defensive rebound.

The Warriors launched a full fast break, directly entering their best rhythm.

But their transition offense failed this time.

Curry and Thompson were already closely guarded by Holiday and Ariza when they reached the frontcourt.

In fact, when Tang Tian shot, Jokic, Holiday, and Ariza had already retreated, with only Davis rushing for the offensive rebound.

Although he didn't get the offensive rebound, the Pelicans' retreat was completed immediately.

This is the detail, and the Pelicans handled it quite perfectly.

"They found a way!"

Barkley on the commentary booth couldn't help but exclaim.

Williams received a lot of criticism after the last game, but this game's adjustments were impressive.

The Warriors' transition offense didn't work, so they could only play a set offense.

This time, they used unlimited cuts, and Thompson shot a three-pointer over Jokic.

"Swish!"

His second three-pointer went in.

After spending so long in the Hard Training Brothers training camp, his three-point shooting stability was already among the best in the league.

Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and he continued to feed the ball to Davis.

It's Davis' turn after Tang Tian!

After turning towards the baseline, Davis turned back, using his height to score a close-range bank shot over Green.

Davis succeeded in two consecutive single plays against Green, and his touch looked good tonight.

6 to 6, the two teams had played evenly for two minutes at the start.

The Pelicans' tactics worked!

Barnes' three-pointer from the corner missed. The Pelicans slowed down the tempo to the frontcourt. This time, Tang Tian split the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc, who made a three-pointer.

Barnes' layup still missed, and the Pelicans reached the frontcourt. Davis' shot missed, but Tang Tian shook off Thompson and jumped up to score a put-back dunk.

11 to 6, for the first time in the series, the Pelicans had the upper hand!

The cheers from the crowd didn't stop, and the fans were more excited than ever.

It felt like standing in front of a high mountain, and after hard climbing, finally taking that one step to get over it!

Kerr finally couldn't sit still, and got up to call Iguodala over.

He wanted to show off by not using the small lineup as a starter, but it looked like his show failed and he slapped himself in the face.

Curry's drive to the basket caused Jokic to commit a shooting foul, earning two free throw opportunities.

His first free throw went in, and Iguodala replaced Bogut, and the Warriors once again unveiled their small lineup.

Curry's second free throw was also good, and the point difference between the two sides was still three points.

Jokic held the ball at the top of the arc, and seeing that the person defending him was Barnes, he directly broke through with the ball.

Barnes was originally a small forward, and he was swaying to play power forward in the small lineup. Facing the standard center Jokic, there was a one-fold difference in size.

Jokic played him so hard, and he could only try to steal the ball. Jokic's hand was very steady, and his steal failed. Jokic directly pressed him to the inside lane and scored a one-handed dunk.

He looked very white and soft, but he was really tough when he played!

The Warriors had unlimited cuts in the frontcourt, and Curry passed a good ball to Green, who scored with an alley-oop layup.

With the Splash Brothers on the outside to contain the defense, the Pelicans' defense didn't dare to shrink, and Jokic's weakness in one-on-one mismatches was more exposed.

However, this didn't have too much impact on the Pelicans' morale, and this was also expected.

They were completely crushed in the previous two games, and it was impossible for them to suddenly turn around and be able to crush the Warriors after a few days.

Jokic continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

The Warriors made defensive adjustments, and Green went to Jokic. It was not a problem for him as a short power forward to defend the five.

But Jokic didn't play, he lobbed the ball to Davis.

Davis playing Barnes was another mismatch. Iguodala shrunk on the weak side, and Davis directly passed the ball to Ariza at the corner.

Ariza caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Clang!"

Ariza's three-pointer didn't go in.

But Davis magically grabbed the offensive rebound with his long arm under the basket, and then caused Barnes to foul, earning two free throw opportunities.

Even if the Warriors' small lineup didn't play transition offense, they could still gain an advantage in the set offense against the Pelicans.

But they only had one Green on the defensive end, while the Pelicans had Jokic and Davis at the same time. When Green went out, the protection under the basket was obviously not enough.

Davis made one of two free throws, and the Pelicans continued to maintain a three-point lead at 14 to 11.

This also became a microcosm of the entire game between the two sides.

Whether Kerr used the regular lineup or the small lineup, he didn't have much of a solution to this new formation of the Pelicans.

"Their small forward needs to be strengthened."

Smith in the commentary booth had sharp eyes and saw the shortcomings of the Warriors' lineup at a glance.

Barnes' height and defensive ability were insufficient. As a power forward, both low post defense and rebounding protection were weaknesses.

Fortunately, the Warriors' offense was online, and the score between the two sides throughout the game did not exceed double digits.

In the stalemate, the two sides played until the last three minutes, and the score on the court was tied at 106.

After a whole game, the Pelicans' tactics proved to be completely effective.

From being completely crushed in the previous two games, they had now reached the coaching staff's pre-match expectations, and had the opportunity to play a decisive moment with the Warriors.
