"Let's go, warriors!"

The cheers from the crowd were deafening.

The fans' emotions had reached a fever pitch.

If the Warriors scored one more basket, the point difference would officially reach the 20-point mark!

A 20-point deficit, for two teams of similar strength, basically meant the game was over!

The Warriors made a series of passes in the frontcourt, but the Pelicans' defense had intensified in the second half, and they didn't have a clear scoring opportunity.

Thompson, with a flash of inspiration, caught a pass from Curry and went for a layup, colliding with Ariza, who was helping with the defense, drawing a foul.

He took a heavy fall, shaking his arm as he got up, but thankfully he wasn't injured.

As he stepped up to the free-throw line, he adjusted his body, swaying slightly before shooting.

"Swish!"

The first shot went in smoothly, bringing the difference to 19 points.

The fans in the stadium erupted with excitement, another successful free throw from Thompson would bring the difference to 20 points!

Thompson's free throw percentage this season was over 87%, this kind of shot was a sure thing.

"Clang!"

But perhaps affected by the fall, Thompson's second free throw bounced off the rim.

Davis reacted quickly, anticipating the ball's trajectory and grabbing the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans' defensive strategy in the second half was fast break, not just the direct steal-and-break opportunities, because those were rare.

More often, it was the fast break after grabbing a rebound.

After getting the ball, Davis immediately looked for Tang Tian, and seeing that Tang Tian had already crossed the three-point line, he launched a long pass from the backcourt.

His passing quality was definitely not as good as Jokic's, but Tang Tian knew that.

He turned his head to look as he ran, adjusted his direction, caught the ball near the right side, and then accelerated, shaking off Iguodala behind him.

Rushing to the frontcourt, seeing Iguodala jumping early to block him, he grabbed the ball with both hands and slammed it into the basket.

Iguodala charged too hard, hitting the backboard, and shook his hand after landing, it hurt a little even though he'd tried to reduce the force.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

The point difference did not go towards 20 points as they had expected, but was reduced by two points by the Pelicans.

Kerr sat on the bench, still a 17-point difference, the Warriors were still solid.

The Warriors attacked again in the frontcourt, their tactical thinking was the same as in the past two games, Durant contained Tang Tian's defense, using Curry to tear through the defense.

But the Pelicans didn't give them a chance, after a series of physical plays, Curry's floater while moving failed to go in.

Davis jumped high again to grab the defensive rebound.

This time he gave the rebound to Brogdon, who then passed to Holiday.

A two-on-one for the Pelicans in the frontcourt.

Holiday rushed to the frontcourt, afraid that his pass would be disrupted by Curry, and threw the ball high up.

It wasn't a great alley-oop pass, but Tang Tian jumped high enough, scooping the ball in the air and then slamming it into the basket.

Curry saw it and ran to the side.

"Boom!"

Tang Tian slammed the ball heavily into the basket.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The Pelicans suddenly exerted their strength, hitting two fast breaks in a row, and the point difference was reduced back to 15 points.

Kerr still didn't get up, but his assistant coach Adams walked to the sidelines, reminding the Warriors players to pay attention to the Pelicans' fast breaks.

As an experienced defensive coach, his reaction was quite quick.

Curry and Green pick-and-rolled, Curry faked a shot and drove to the basket, then passed back to Green for a layup, Green's shot drew a foul from Holiday, sending him to the free-throw line.

His first free throw missed.

Compared to Thompson, his free throw stability was still much worse.

But fortunately, his second free throw went in.

The point difference returned to 16 points, and more importantly, it didn't give the Pelicans another chance to launch a fast break.

The Pelicans attacked to the frontcourt and played a set offense.

"Defense! Defense!"

The cheers rang out in unison.

The enthusiasm of the Bay Area fans was quite high.

The Warriors' defensive intensity was also very high, the ball was passed to Tang Tian, and this time Tang Tian chose to force his way into the paint.

A shot surrounded by a double-team.

His physical play played a key role, although the shot didn't go in, it drew a foul from Iguodala, giving him two free throw opportunities.

The first shot went in.

The second shot also went in.

His free throws were as stable as ever.

In the Warriors' frontcourt, Curry was double-teamed and had no chance, Durant actively asked for the ball.

He had thought about how to play Tang Tian, a quick turnaround fadeaway, Tang Tian wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Green's pass.

But just as the ball left his hand, Tang Tian suddenly stepped out from behind Durant, as swift as a cheetah, and grabbed the ball directly into his hands.

A steal!

Durant tried to pull him back but couldn't, Tang Tian already sprinting towards the frontcourt with the ball.

Green quickly retreated, all the way back to the backcourt.

Seeing Tang Tian about to charge up, he wanted to reach out and pull him.

But at the moment of exertion, he felt a chill down below, an extremely unpleasant experience caused him a trace of instinctive fear.

In Africa, in addition to the well-known honey badger, there is also a familiar animal called the African hyena, also known by some as the "African Second Brother."

Its survival skill is to attack, aiming at the animal's testicles and anus.

And the reason why it succeeds again and again is that during mammalian evolution, in order to ensure the survival rate of offspring, testicles are exposed outside the body to avoid high temperatures.

Humans are no exception.

Green's testicle had been kicked and exploded by Tang Tian before, he was instinctively afraid.

Because of this fear, his body retreated again, and Tang Tian directly knocked him off the court.

"Boom!"

Tang Tian completed his third dunk of the second half.

The sidelines were in an uproar.

Kerr also stood up from the bench, looking up at the scoreboard.

The point difference had unknowingly been reduced to 12 points!

Thompson cut to the basket, caught the ball, and quickly scored a layup.

The Warriors were also working hard to attack the basket to avoid the Pelicans' fast breaks.

Turning around, Tang Tian continued to charge to the basket, he was playing a bit like Westbrook at this point.

But unlike Westbrook, he had better stamina and more energy to do this kind of attack.

Iguodala couldn't defend him and pulled Tang Tian down again.

Tang Tian stepped to the free-throw line and made both free throws.

Still a 12-point difference!

Kerr was a little anxious, shouting at the players to improve their defensive focus.

But because of his shout, Green and Thompson made a passing error in the backcourt, and the ball went directly into Holiday's hands.

Holiday quickly passed the ball to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian quickly scored another 2 points with a layup.

The point difference had reached 10 points!

Kerr cursed loudly and immediately called a timeout!

The Pelicans' bench erupted.

No one noticed that Tang Tian had single-handedly taken over all 12 points for the Pelicans in the second half!

"Mike, didn't you say that Tang is not as good as Michael?"

Breen laughed and turned to look at Miller.

"Did I say that? I definitely didn't say that."

Miller laughed and shook his head, his expression indescribably funny.

Breen laughed and pointed at Miller, this was one of the three essential natures of human beings, a classic example of "zhenxiang."
