Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 716 If You Can't Beat 'Em, Kick 'Em in the Balls (First Update!)

Kuri continued his crazy performance in the third quarter of this season, throwing in 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and scoring 19 points.

However, Tang Tian also scored 20 points in a single quarter with his outside shooting.

The two staged an MVP-level showdown, and the two teams were evenly matched, but in the end, the Pelicans had the advantage.

The Warriors chased 6 points in a row at the beginning of the second half to narrow the point difference to single digits, but at the end of the third quarter, the score on the field was 92 to 81.

The Pelicans still led by as many as 11 points.

The Warriors' crazy third quarter this season did not help them reverse the situation this time.

With the unfavorable situation, Cole made a change. He replaced Thompson at the beginning of the fourth quarter, hoping to chase the score back during this period.

Stevens' reaction was also very quick, and he also put Holiday on the court to defend Thompson.

The players on both sides were playing fiercely on the court, and the coaches of the two teams were also tit-for-tat off the court.

But this time, the Warriors had the upper hand.

Thompson has been in the league for four years, and his strength has improved a lot. In addition to the added value of the Kulian Brothers Training Camp, his current strength has exceeded that of ordinary All-Star players.

Especially his shooting, the Foguang Puzhao (Buddha's Light Shining Everywhere) ability is not often used, but it can always play a role at critical moments.

In just three or four minutes, he made 3 three-pointers against Holiday's defense, instantly narrowing the point difference to within 5 points.

Stevens called a timeout.

"Tang, you go defend Thompson, Ad, you attack."

Stevens quickly made adjustments.

When the timeout returned, both Cole and Stevens replaced all the starters.

They couldn't afford to lose this battle of the century.

"The decisive moment is coming."

Breen said slightly excitedly in the commentary booth.

The Pelicans had the advantage in three quarters, and the Warriors relied on Thompson's Foguang Puzhao to bring the game back.

The 4-point difference can be ignored by both teams. The next 8 minutes will be the most exciting and stimulating decisive moment.

In the Pelicans' offense, Davis went to the low post, and Holiday followed to pass the ball in.

It must be said that Green was also a bit miserable tonight. He was defended by Jokic at the start, and now he has to be defended by Davis.

But he is more confident at this time than at the beginning, after all, there is also Bogut guarding the basket behind him. It is not so easy for Davis to defend him.

He knew that Davis would most likely not go to the basket, so he was not heavy-hearted, and was always ready to interfere with Davis's turnaround jumper.

But he miscalculated. After Davis braced, he turned to the free throw line and went to the basket.

This was a bit caught off guard, but he was fast enough. After taking a big step, he found his defensive position again.

Davis didn't turn around again. Seeing that Bogut was about to help defend, he directly made a bank shot near the three-second zone.

His height was already 5 centimeters taller than Green, and his wingspan was a full 13 centimeters longer than Green.

Green was already difficult to interfere with this shot, not to mention that he had made a misjudgment earlier.

"Swish!"

The ball hit the backboard and shot into the net diagonally.

Davis' low post offense scored!

After scoring the goal, he excitedly waved his fist and shouted.

In the season before last, he was very unwilling to lose to the Grizzlies, but that was because the team's overall strength was not good, and he could accept it in his heart.

But losing to the Warriors last season, especially in the sixth game, was largely related to his poor performance, which he could not accept.

So after Tang Tian recruited him into the Kulian Brothers Training Camp, his training was more diligent and serious than ever before.

After hard training, his low post offense has improved a lot.

Especially with the careful guidance of Procopio, he knows better how to use the defender's psychology and reactions to make offensive choices.

The ball against Green was the effect.

Green turned around and cursed.

Jokic at the start, Davis now, are the Pelicans' twin towers going to take turns defending him?

In the Warriors' offense, the Pelicans adjusted their defense, letting Tang Tian directly defend Thompson, and Ariza changed to defending Barnes.

The Pelicans' defense is a net. Thompson's Foguang Puzhao broke through the net, and now Tang Tian directly uses Jinzhong Zhao (Golden Bell Cover) to suppress it.

Moreover, Tang Tian is too familiar with Thompson, preventing him from even having a chance to catch the ball.

Curry finally took a super long three-pointer, but failed to hit it.

Even Curry can't maintain the accuracy of super long three-pointers for the entire game.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound. He passed the ball to Tang Tian and ran to the front court to continue to post up.

In the past two years, he has been able to provide limited help to Tang Tian. Now is the time for him to stand up and share the pressure.

Green was obviously more focused than before, and Davis's continuous turns were defended by him.

The other Warriors players also gave Green enough help, keeping all the other Pelicans players in check.

Davis could only force a shot. He hooked over Green's shoulder.

Green tried his best to defend.

"Swish!"

But the ball eventually fell into the net hollow!

Davis scored consecutively!

There was constant cheers from the crowd.

Cole shook his head helplessly on the sidelines.

Green's defense is impeccable, but Davis's talent is much stronger than him. Being able to score this kind of ball is entirely due to personal ability.

This is the reason for his helplessness.

Green is very hardworking. If it weren't for his big mouth, he would definitely be a role model for inspirational players.

But in the NBA, especially for inside players, it is often a matter of talent.

Green was a second-round pick, and Davis was the top pick. The difference in their height and wingspan is too great.

These 4 points were very critical. The Pelicans' lead suddenly went from 4 points to 8 points.

Moreover, Curry didn't feel good in this period. After a three-pointer near the logo hit the rim and bounced out, the Warriors' offensive failed again.

The Pelicans countered to the frontcourt, and Davis continued to post up to defend Green.

The fans at the scene began to boo.

The Pelicans fans disliked Green's big mouth the most. Now that Jokic and Davis are taking turns defending Green, they can't wait to beat Green to a pulp.

Davis also had confidence after scoring two consecutive goals. This time, he completely threw Green off with a back turn, and got up to dunk.

Seeing that he couldn't defend, Green directly pulled Davis hard.

This caused Davis's whole body to lose balance.

The two fell to the ground together.

After falling to the ground, the two were entangled with each other.

The referee reacted in time and called Green for a malicious foul.

Green was very dissatisfied after seeing this. Davis was being helped up by Jokic at this time.

At this moment, Green suddenly fell to the ground, seemingly using this method to protest the referee.

However, when his upper body fell down, his legs seemed to be uncontrollably raised, and he kicked directly towards Davis's crotch!

"Careful!"

Tang Tian was about to walk over to ask Davis, and shouted loudly after seeing Green's movement.

He remembers very clearly that Green had a resounding nickname in his previous life: Ball-Kicking Green!
