Chapter 415 The Top Head Coach
Second half of the game.
GDP, who played early, failed to keep up with the Pelicans' fast-playing storm.
In order to speed up, Li Lai even directly DNP Jordan in the second half, giving Dior more playing time.
Popovich was also very smart not to take Thiago Splitter again, allowing Duncan to serve as the team's starting center most of the time.
Popovich wanted to keep up with the speed of the Pelicans, but still underestimated the determination and ability of the Pelicans to play fast.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans had led 83:72.
Game four.
Popovich knew that there was no chance of winning if he blindly played against the Pelicans, so he reactivated Thiago Splitter to play positional battles with the Pelicans on the court.
And Li Lai also took Jordan Jr., not afraid of the Spurs' positional battle.
Popovich looked at Li Lai, who has such strong court response, adaptability, and tactical ability, and for the first time felt like those old opponents.
He looked at Li Lai and said slowly: "This kid, from now on, it is no longer possible to comment on him as the leader of the younger generation."
"He's the best head coach in the league."
Finally the game is over.
The Pelicans won the game 105:94.
A score of less than 95 is the lowest score since the Spurs playoffs. Even if it is as strong as the Grizzlies, it only limits the Spurs to less than 100 points.
But for the Pelicans, the Spurs were limited to 95 points in Game [-].
At the end of the game, Barkley and Kenny Smith shook their heads at the commentary stand.
Kenny Smith said: "The Spurs are no match for the Pelicans, not at all."
"When Duncan was pushed out of the penalty area by Anthony Davis, their offensive ability declined greatly."
Barkley analyzed and said: "In this game, Tony Parker and Ginobili were defended enough, and their shooting percentages have seen a landslide decline."
"Especially Tony Parker, the French sports car who was able to compete with LeBron James in terms of shooting percentage at the rim last season. In this game, the finishing rate at the rim is less than 50%."
"Anthony Davis' inside frame protection is too obvious."
Barkley believes that the series between the Spurs and the Pelicans will not be too far away, except that the Spurs have encountered the Grizzlies and the Kings successively, and their physical strength has been greatly affected.
In terms of tactical play and overall player strength, the Spurs are also far behind the Pelicans.
Especially the striker.
Even with the addition of Danny Green, the Spurs still lack a strong striker.
Look at the pelicans' eye-catching Leonard and Jimmy Butler. There is no comparison at all. Even the substitute Vince Carter is better than the Spurs' forward reserve players.
Second game.
When Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili were all targeted by the Pelicans, Danny Green of the Spurs stood up.
He scored 6 three-pointers in a single game and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Danny Green's outbreak once tied the score and helped the Spurs lead the Pelicans in score.
But in the critical round of the last quarter, Li Lai took the team with Anthony Davis as the core and regained the advantage of the game.
105: 101.
The Pelicans won two consecutive victories and led 2:0.
The next game venue will be moved to the home of the San Antonio Spurs, and Popovich can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With the home court advantage and the support of the fans, the Spurs may be able to fight the Pelicans.
在随后的G3比赛上，伦纳德猛然爆发，中距离10投8中，全场20投15中，以34分7篮板3助攻的数据帮助鹈鹕队再下一场。
G4比赛，GDP终于打出了系列赛以来最好的表现，三人合砍65分16篮板11助攻的数据，帮助马刺队以103:100赢下了比赛。
The big score is 3:1.
The loss of this game is also related to the poor feel of the Pelicans team. They shot the worst three-pointers since the playoffs.
24-of-5 from the field.
Among them, Jimmy Butler made 6 of 0 three-pointers.
Such a dismal shooting rate allowed Popovich to seize the opportunity and deployed a lot of tactics of double-teaming and shrinking inside.
Limit the thick eyebrows on the inside to only 13 points and 13 rebounds.
5 month 25 day.
Game 5 between the Pelicans and the Spurs.
The Pelicans played a 20-6 super attack wave in the first quarter.
The exhaustion of the Spurs series was fully presented tonight, and the first quarter could not keep up with the Pelicans' offensive and defensive speed.
By the end of the halftime game, the score on the field was 65:40, a full 25-point lead.
Popovich still didn't give up, and the old GDP combination also didn't give up and stayed on the court.
Li Lai gave the old Spurs the last dignity, and put all the main players on the court until the last moment.
He did not accumulate energy for the next finals, did not replace the main players to rest, just for this moment to give GDP and Popovich the last respect.
But the game has completely entered garbage time.
At the end of the game, the Pelicans beat the Spurs 115:100.
"Let us congratulate the Pelicans. This is the stage where they reached the Western Conference Finals again after their trip to the Western Conference Finals last season. This time they persisted to the end and successfully entered the NBA Finals!"
"Come on, lads!"
Ribbons floated over the New Orleans Arena.
In fact, it was the first time fans in New Orleans saw the streamers.
Last season was the first time they touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, and this season they finally succeeded in touching the floor of the Finals.
In the arena, the young fans cheered passionately, while the old fans burst into tears.
Stevens and Du Feng put on the hats of the Western Conference Finals champions for the players, and the podium was quickly set up.
Paul stood in the center of the podium, holding the Western Conference Finals trophy in his arms. His eyes were fixed on the trophy. After a long silence, Paul suddenly hugged the trophy tightly in his arms, and then Weep softly.
8 years.
Jimmy Butler patted Paul's trophy encouragingly, and Anthony Davis and Paul clapped shoulders.
Vince Carter put his hands on his back and looked up at the streamers flying all over the sky and fell on his forehead, he said.
"Vince Carter is ready."
On-site interview, when the reporter asked Li Lai, "How did you build this team into the league's first defensive team in two years, and how did you lead them to enter the NBA with a record of 12-2?" finals."
Facing this interview, Li Lai held the microphone and was silent for a while.
The New Orleans fans at the scene watched quietly the person who led them to create a miracle.
Li said: "On the first day I came to New Orleans, countless people told me that this is a city that has encountered a curse. They have no achievements in the four major sports leagues and have never won a championship."
"Even every time it comes to a critical moment, it will fall short due to various disasters."
"I said, hey guys, I can lead you to miracles."
"But no one believed me."
"Right now I hope the Pelicans have breathed new life into the city and we're more than capable of breaking the spell."
"The Western Conference Championship is just the beginning, and then we will hit the championship!"
In the post-match interview.
Paul deliberately asked Beverly to bring him the Western Conference Finals trophy throughout the process. No matter where Paul is, Beverly must bring the trophy and follow him.
New Orleans streets.
Taylor Sweet's "Welcome to New Orleans" was played in every restaurant, and the TV screen showed the awarding scene of the Pelicans winning the Western Conference championship.
An old man watched the TV and shook his head and said, "The curse is still there, we can't win the finals."
Another bald black man agreed, "Indeed, we have looked forward to it many times in the past, and each time we thought that a savior would come."
"But every time there are no surprises."
"The curse is still there."
Crescent City, the center of the lakeshore.
The two simple houses made of wooden boards are still there, and the old man lives in one of the houses. He is already sitting in a wheelchair at this moment.
His children are by his side.
The old man pointed at the TV tremblingly and said, "The curse is still there, that boy can't break the curse."
"New Orleans won't have a championship, never will."
The old man thought of the girl who often came here to write songs, and then thought of the boy.
CCTV launched a program called the summit of the decisive battle.
Thanks to Jia's hosting, Zhang Weiping, Su Qun, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others were invited to predict and analyze this year's finals.
Yao Ming said: "We can see that the Pelicans showed a very strong defensive system in this year's playoffs."
"Everyone's general impression of them before is that the perimeter defense is particularly strong, with Paul, Leonard, Jimmy Butler and Beverly."
"But in this round of the series, the Pelicans showed not only the outside defense, but the inside defense is also very terrible."
"Anthony Davis, Oden and DeAndre Jordan."
"So, the Pelicans are a team with a particularly strong defense inside and outside. They really remind us of the Pistons back then."
Yi Jianlian smiled proudly and said: "Not only defense, the coach has also created a very suitable offensive system for this Pelicans."
"There are internal and external tactics, pick-and-roll tactics and singles tactics in positional warfare. There are also tactics in the rotation lineup with Diaw as the core and JR Smith and Vince Carter as pitchers."
"To be honest, the Pelicans' bench offensive tactics have a lot of shadows from the Bucks back then. Diao is like me, and JR Smith is like Curry."
"In addition to this, the Pelicans also put special emphasis on quick catch and conversion, so their offensive efficiency and offensive time consumption are very terrifying, quite similar to the feeling of the Suns playing whirlwind back then."
"Although this Pelicans team is ridiculously strong defensively, their offense is also at the forefront of the league."
Yu Jia nodded in satisfaction and said: "This time I invite Dayao and Ah Lian to participate in the analysis and prediction of the finals. In addition to hearing your analysis on the Pelicans, you also have insights on the defending champion team." .”
The Eastern Conference finals ended one step ahead of the Pelicans.
The Knicks think that they have strengthened their point guards and won the championship member Jeremy Lin. They think they can smooth out the disadvantages against the Heat last season. This season's Eastern Conference finals are fully qualified to compete with the Heat.
But the reality picture is cruel.
After another year of running in, the Heat team also got James' evolution again. The Heat team, which is the defending champion, also passed the baptism of the finals last season and gained precious experience in the finals.
The Knicks were no match for the Heat in the series and were swept again 4:0.
This Heat team has won all 12 games so far and is undefeated.
Yao Ming said: "The Heat are very strong, especially James."
"I was once broken by James, and that time is still fresh in my memory."
"When he breaks through and rushes towards you, it's really like a tank rushing towards you, and it feels like he's about to fall apart."
"So despite the fact that the Pelicans are considered to have the most enviable striker background in the league, Leonard and Jimmy Butler may not be able to defend James."
Yi Jianlian has played against James more than Yao Ming in the East, so he agrees with this point, but shook his head.
"The coach knows James very well, and he understands James very well."
"Have you all forgotten how James was tired and paralyzed on the technical stage during the Cavaliers?"
"The Heat are only in their first year, so they are so invincible that they were easily dismantled by the coach?"
"Coach Li Lai has many ways to deal with James."
Su Qun agreed with this view, but also said: "But the Heat have more than one James, and Wade is also a very scary player."
"It's impossible for the Pelicans to solve James with one person, so what about another Wade?"
"I don't think the Pelicans can guard Wade after defending James."
"It's a dilemma."
"So, who will the Pelicans decide to guard?"
Zhang Weiping suddenly laughed and said, "Why must the Pelicans face this problem?"
"They have a very even distribution of points in the team. Paul, Jimmy Butler, Leonard, Anthony Davis, JR Smith and Vince Carter all have the ability to score."
"At this point, the Pelicans are more difficult to guard than the Heat."
Yu Jia said: "But the Heat also have Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Chris Anderson, Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem."
"They're also a very strong team offensively and defensively."
"More importantly, in the regular season of this season, the Heat defeated the Pelicans, and Bosh made a three-pointer."
"In that game, the Pelicans did everything they could to defend James and Wade, allowing Bosh to get a lot of easy scoring opportunities."
"Dragon King Bosh, he was also a top five power forward in the league, and his scoring ability is very strong."
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian both smiled tacitly at this moment.
Yao Ming said: "That's why this year's finals will be the Heat and the Pelicans, because the two teams are very strong in terms of overall strength and player background."
"This will be a series where sparks hit the earth, and the game will definitely be played very anxiously."
"Compared to who the two teams are strong and who is weak, I am more looking forward to when the Heat will usher in their first loss in the playoffs."
Yi Jianlian still did not forget to stand on Li Lai's side and said: "But don't forget that the playoffs attach great importance to X players and X factors."
"The coach has always been very good at using role players and rotation players. He knows who will affect the game when."
"Don't forget, Coach Li Lai is a two-time champion in the league. He has a lot of experience in the finals and playoffs."
"Eric Spoelstra is inferior at this point."
"Coach Li Lai is the leader of the younger generation of coaches in the NBA. He has also proved his ability in the international arena. He is the top head coach in the world."
