Chapter 1251 Can I Surrender?

7-0!

Davis scored 7 points with his breakthroughs and jump shots right after the tip-off!

The fans at the stadium were already going wild.

Davis's comeback game tonight had a perfect start!

The Bucks players on the court were desperate.

Budenholzer's judgment was wrong!

Davis starting wasn't about creating psychological pressure on the Bucks or crushing their psychological defenses; he was truly recovered!

If Davis was okay, what about Green?

Giannis Antetokounmpo set a pick-and-roll with Irving in the frontcourt, and then successfully attacked the basket after receiving the ball, finally breaking the Bucks' scoring drought.

These two points were worth their weight in gold, but in return, Green ran to a spot and received a pass from Tang Tian, ​​and then shot a three-pointer from the outside.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound, the shot was accurate!

10-2!

Davis and Green, these brothers who recovered from injuries, combined to score the Pelicans' first ten points!

It was as if they were grabbing the Bucks players' ears and loudly telling them, we're okay!

This had a significant impact on the confidence of the Bucks players.

The most direct manifestation was that the Bucks' positional offense directly resulted in a mistake, with Hayward's pass to Redick going directly out of bounds.

The cheers at the stadium were overwhelming.

This feeling was really amazing!

Defeating others, even crushing others, wasn't as satisfying as mentally breaking down the opponent in front of you!

The Pelicans didn't score on an offensive possession in the frontcourt, but in return, Davis helped defend and blocked Hayward with a big block!

He sent out 3 blocks in less than five minutes, this blocking efficiency was simply heaven-defying!

The Bucks had a sideline ball in the frontcourt, Irving's three-point attempt from the outside still missed, and was quite off.

From this offensive possession, one could feel that the impact of the Bucks' confidence being frustrated had already affected their performance on the court.

Tang Tian's pull-up jumper in the frontcourt went in again.

12-2!

The point difference had reached double digits!

Budenholzer reached out and called a timeout.

This game, like Game 1 of the Finals, was heading towards a blowout in the first quarter.

"Don't worry about how Davis and Green are playing, think about our current situation! Think about what our efforts for a season are for! We have no retreat, we must go all out!"

Budenholzer didn't have time to deploy tactics, he also knew that compared to tactics, the team's morale was more important now.

After the timeout, Irving and Horford set a pick-and-roll, broke through to the free throw line and scored with a floater.

Among these Bucks players, Irving was the only one with Finals experience. And his fighting spirit was also the highest on the team.

These two points also greatly boosted the Bucks' morale, and their defense was noticeably better than before on the defensive end.

The Pelicans didn't execute several tactical plays in a row, and the ball could only be given to Tang Tian in the end.

Hayward was guarding him closely.

Tang Tian chose to break through on the right, using his signature sh穿hua蝴蝶步 (wearing-flower butterfly step) to get past Hayward and charge straight inside.

Giannis Antetokounmpo helped defend.

Tang Tian didn't choose to pass the ball, he changed his speed, leaned against Giannis Antetokounmpo, and then did a reverse layup in the air.

This shot was very difficult.

The ball spun in the air, drawing a small parabola.

"Swish!"

It still went in!

Heaven-defying waist strength, heaven-defying personal ability!

The Bucks' confidence, which had just recovered a bit, was hit again.

This kind of play that was defended until almost 24 seconds and then failed was very demoralizing.

It was still Irving, throwing himself into the paint like a dynamite package, forcing a foul on Gasol with a strong shot.

He walked to the free throw line and took a deep breath.

He was questioned when he led the team alone in Cleveland, and he was also questioned during the Big Three era. Now that he finally had a chance to prove himself, he didn't want to give up.

Adjusting his breathing, he made both free throws.

6-14.

With Irving's 4 consecutive points, the Bucks were able to hold on against the Pelicans for a while.

Budenholzer breathed a sigh of relief seeing this.

The Pelicans played at home and had a perfect start, but as long as they could hold on, the Bucks would still have hope.

"Swish!"

Just as he was thinking, Tang Tian completely disregarded the situation in the frontcourt, took a three-threat stance and then shot a three-pointer directly, and it went in!

17-6!

The point difference was widened to 11 points!

Davis scored 7 consecutive points after the start, then Green made a three-pointer to transition, and Tang Tian took over the scoring baton, scoring 7 consecutive points again!

This was really taking turns to press the Bucks on the ground and beat them up!

A feeling of despair rose again from the hearts of the Bucks players.

They really couldn't see any hope of winning!

Irving's breakthrough in the frontcourt was double-teamed, and his pass was a bit early, and Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't catch the ball.

Another mistake by the Bucks!

Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo looked at each other for a while after the mistake, and then retreated back to defense helplessly.

Tang Tian was feeling hot during this time, and he held the ball in the frontcourt to play one-on-one again.

The Bucks used a triple-team.

Hayward was in front, Irving was on the side, and Giannis Antetokounmpo was overhead.

This was an all-out effort from the army, navy, and air force, just to stop Tang Tian's shot.

Tang Tian turned around and leaned back to shoot while being double-teamed.

Although the double-team was fierce, his posture was still beautiful.

The ball was released and flew towards the basket over Giannis Antetokounmpo's fingertips.

"Swish!"

It was still a clean shot!

The head wasn't touched for nothing!

19-6!

Giannis Antetokounmpo shook his head helplessly after seeing the ball go in.

They couldn't defend against it!

They couldn't beat him!

When Tang Tian started scoring, he didn't give his opponents a chance to survive!

The hope that Budenholzer had finally seen was instantly shattered.

This game was really too difficult!

"Pa!"

Just then, Tang Tian directly stole the ball from Hayward's hand, and then threw a long pass to Brogdon.

Brogdon had a fast break in the frontcourt, and all the Bucks players gave up chasing.

Brogdon took three steps and actually jumped up and dunked!

He wasn't known for his physical talent, and rarely dunked in games, he was really feeling it!

21-6!

The point difference had reached 15 points!

Budenholzer had no choice but to call another timeout.

The cheers at the stadium were completely unstoppable.

Missed shots, passing errors, being stolen...

The Bucks had been beaten to pieces by the Pelicans during this time!

Even Budenholzer had been beaten to the point where he had no other option but to call a timeout!

After the timeout, Hayward missed a three-pointer from the outside.

In return, Brogdon received a pass from Gasol and made a three-pointer!

A 6-point play inside and out, the point difference had been widened to 18 points!

Irving charged into the basket in the frontcourt, and his shot against three defenders was directly blocked by Gasol.

The Pelicans then played a transition offense.

Tang Tian gave a signature behind-the-back pass to Brogdon while moving, who forced a shot over Irving and scored, also drawing a foul on Irving!

2+1!

The point difference had reached 20 points!

The game had only been played for a little more than half a quarter!

Brogdon had a chance for a free throw.

At this time, looking at the expressions of the Bucks players on the court again.

It wasn't just despair, but they didn't even want to stay on the court anymore.

In a battle with no chance of winning, if they could, they would surrender now!
