Popovich saw the situation was unfavorable and replaced Baynes with Bertans.

Having the disadvantage at the start, he was outmaneuvered by Stevens in terms of strategic deployment.

With Bertans on the court, the Spurs didn't use the hammer tactic in the frontcourt. Instead, they spread out the space and let Aldridge receive the ball under the basket to post up against Robinson.

After a series of foot movements, Aldridge faked a shot to throw off Robinson and then turned around to score off the backboard.

Robinson loved to jump too much, comparable to Tang Tian's teammate Majuk when he was at UConn.

Stevens walked to the sideline and loudly reminded him.

Turning around, Tang Tian cut to the basket to receive a pass from Davis, shot over Aldridge, and scored, also drawing a shooting foul on the latter.

After the ball went in, Tang Tian turned and pointed at Davis.

Davis's improvement was obvious, but being able to pass such a good ball showed that the Pelicans' focus tonight was at a very high level.

Tang Tian made the free throw steadily, and the Pelicans continued to lead by 8 points at 12-4.

The Spurs continued to play Aldridge in the frontcourt.

With Stevens' reminder, Robinson didn't jump this time, but Aldridge had a greater weight advantage, and he turned and hooked over Robinson to score again.

He had scored two consecutive goals in the low post.

Stevens turned and called Siakam over.

Robinson's surprise effect helped the Pelicans gain an advantage at the start, but Popovich reacted quickly. Leaving Robinson on the court any longer would do more harm than good.

Siakam was substituted, and both sides had a lineup of one big and four small players.

The fans at the scene looked a little nervous.

They knew that the Spurs won the last game by winning against the one big and four small lineup, and Davis was completely shut down by the Spurs at the center position.

Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt and made a tactical gesture.

Davis pulled up to the high post to screen, Tang Tian took a step, then passed through a gap to the baseline.

Siakam cut to the basket from the baseline and scored with a two-handed dunk after receiving the ball!

The Pelicans' offense was in full swing tonight!

14 to 6, still an 8-point difference.

The Spurs continued to spread out the space in the frontcourt, and Leonard dribbled the ball to the basket in a one-on-one against Green.

Green tried his best, but still couldn't stop him.

Leonard bumped Green away and laid the ball in from close range.

Davis reacted quickly and helped with the block.

Leonard showed his super giant strength, adjusting in the air, and managed to pass the ball to Aldridge on the free throw line before landing.

This ball was difficult. Although Leonard passed it out with his personal ability, the position of the pass was low, and Aldridge bent over to catch the ball.

After catching it, he got up and took a mid-range shot, but Davis actually helped defend back!

His shot was severely interfered with and went way off!

Cheers erupted from the audience.

Although Davis's offense was not as explosive as in the first game tonight, his overall performance gave people the feeling that he was in a hot state!

In this series against the Spurs, he successfully stole the spotlight!

In the Pelicans' frontcourt offense, Siakam took the ball at the high post and directly faced Bertans, breaking through after a shake and scoring another layup!

16 to 6!

The Pelicans extended the point difference to double digits.

The cheers at the scene couldn't stop, and many fans got up from their seats, swaying their plump bodies.

The Pelicans' performance tonight can really be described with two words: excellent!

In the Spurs' frontcourt offense, Leonard and Aldridge played a pick-and-roll. After the separation, Leonard attacked Davis, and took off for a shot in the air after the confrontation.

However, Davis was really in good shape tonight. Although he was bumped away, he stretched out his hand, and his fingertip managed to touch the ball.

Leonard's shot was blocked!

The ball didn't touch the rim, and Davis quickly grabbed the rebound after landing.

The Spurs' consecutive attacks on the Pelicans' basket failed!

Popovich had walked from the bench to the sideline.

Siakam continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt against Bertans, still squeezing past him with a breakthrough.

Bertans could shoot three-pointers, but his movement speed was slow, and he seemed clumsy in front of flexible forwards like Siakam.

Aldridge helped defend, and Siakam directly forced a shot despite the pressure.

Aldridge had one foul and didn't dare to make a move easily, so he raised his hands at the last moment.

Siakam showed his talent, scoring with a smooth shot in the air!

18 to 6!

The Pelicans' offense was like a tide!

The fans at the scene cheered with their hands raised.

The Pelicans tonight were completely two different teams from the Pelicans in the last game!

Technique and ability are very important, but in basketball games, initiative and hard work are also very important!

The people were still the same people, but their combat power was vastly different!

The on-site photographer gave a shot of Popovich on the sidelines.

Popovich stood blankly on the sidelines, his expression somewhat helpless.

Some people compare basketball games to playing chess, with the two head coaches arranging their troops and fighting against each other.

But basketball games are more than just playing chess. Tactics are a very important part, but it also depends on the players' performance on the court.

The same tactics that the Spurs used to defeat the Pelicans almost without a trace in the last game were completely ineffective tonight.

Popovich's tactic itself was not a perfect tactic, it was his ability to make the most of what he had.

Bertans could create space on the offensive end, but he was a sieve on the defensive end.

In the last game, after Bertans spread out, the Spurs were very successful in attacking the basket, knocking Davis out early.

So Bertans' defensive weaknesses were masked or offset.

But tonight, Davis was in excellent form, defending against the Spurs' two waves of attacks on the basket in a row.

So, in turn, Bertans' defensive weaknesses were infinitely amplified.

George held the ball and continued to attack the basket. With Bertans on the court, it was meaningless for the Spurs not to attack.

But George was facing Tang Tian, not Green. He was forced to stop when he rushed to the three-second zone, and he was directly stolen by Tang Tian in the next second!

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he turned around and launched a fast break, facing Leonard in the frontcourt, and made a beautiful no-look pass to Siakam who was following up.

Siakam took the ball and took off, slamming the basket hard with both hands.

"Boom!"

After smashing the ball into the basket, Siakam landed and roared, pounding his chest.

He was having a blast tonight!

20 to 6!

Popovich raised his hand and called a timeout.

The cheers at the scene had exploded.

Tang Tian turned around and high-fived Siakam, and then touched his head to encourage him.

Popovich called a timeout to contain the Pelicans' offensive momentum, but the Pelicans were fighting with all their might tonight, and everyone was brave, so it didn't work.

The Pelicans led the Spurs by as much as 30 points in three quarters and ultimately defeated the Spurs 130-105.

Scoring 130 points in the playoffs against the Spurs, the Pelicans played their most enjoyable game of the series tonight.

Seven Pelicans scored in double figures. Tang Tian had 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists in three quarters, once again winning while lying down.

Siakam had 18 points, Brogdon 14 points and 6 assists, Green 13 points, Kuzma and Harrell each had 12 points, and Robinson had 2 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 fouls.

Davis had 22 points, 20 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 steals, and 0 turnovers, successfully stealing the spotlight.
