The invincible kryptonite of basketball

In the fourth game, although Middleton was no longer miraculous, James once again contributed a 40+ triple-double, and Durant failed in the final moment.

After four games, the Lakers also won their two home games and tied the big score at 2-2.

In an instant, the popularity of social media took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Luck is part of the game. Now luck is on the side of the Lakers. Similarly, after two games in a row, the momentum is also on their side."

In TNT's program, Kenny Smith's analysis represents the views of most people.

The Pelicans are going to be the same as the original Rockets, leading 2-0, but ultimately unable to win the series.

The outside world turned from being optimistic to pessimistic about the Pelicans, and Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters again.

"Somebody compared the Pelicans to the Rockets because they're in a similar situation, what do you think about that?"

Reporters are always good at finding topics. There are many teams that lead 2-0 and get equalized, but they only find the Rockets.

On the one hand, the Rockets had Yao Ming, and on the other hand, it was because of the Morey incident.

"I don't think they're comparable. That Rockets team was so weak at the [-] that Yao was double-teamed all the time, but this Pelicans team doesn't have that weakness."

Tang Tian's answer was straightforward.

"But they're pretty much the same."

The reporter reminded.

"No, it's completely different. There is no similarity in the process of the game or in the way of winning or losing. You can't say that they are similar just because the score is the same."

Tang Tian directly denied it.

"So you still think the Pelicans are more likely to advance?"

the reporter finally asked.

"Of course, my attitude is the same as before, they deal with all situations and now they are just going through one of those situations."

Tang Tian replied with a smile, his words were full of confidence.

Tang Tian's self-confidence was reported by the media, but this time it attracted a lot of doubts.

Blind optimism can't help the Pelicans win, but it's a bit self-deceiving because they can't see the situation clearly.

Two days later, the Pelicans and the Lakers moved to New Orleans to continue the series. This is also the battle of the two sides.

The two teams each won their home games, and the games were extremely fierce. This Tianwangshan match can also be predictably fierce.

But after the game started, it once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

James' performance was rarely abnormal, and the Lakers also fell into a passive position at the beginning.

On the other hand, the Pelicans have not been affected by the losses in the past two games at all. The three armed forces have used their lives and have always firmly grasped the initiative on the court.

In the end, the Pelicans beat the Lakers 108-88 in Tianwangshan, rewriting the big score of the series to 3-2.

詹姆斯全场仅出手15次，15投7中仅得21分7板5助攻，还出现了3次失误。

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

But Kenny Smith admitted that he was slapped in the face after the game and analyzed the game.

The brave state of the Pelicans is indeed critical, but what is more critical is James' performance.

In other words, James is not a robot. He has been fighting since the first game of the series, and he is obviously tired now.

The playing time is close to 40 minutes or even more than 40+ triple-doubles or quasi-triple-doubles per game. Individuals will be tired.

Not to mention that he is already a 36-year-old man in his thirties.

The Pelicans took Tianwangshan and slapped many fans in the face.

But at this time, two completely different voices appeared on social media.

One is to support the Pelicans. They feel that Tang Tian is the person who can see the situation most clearly. No matter how the series goes, the Pelicans will advance.

The other is that the Lakers will eventually win.

The reason is very simple, no matter what the reason is, it is impossible for James to be out of order in a row, and the next game will be at the home court of the Lakers.

If the Lakers win the next game, the two sides will enter the tiebreaker. James' tiebreaker winning rate is very high.

Of course, except for beating Tang Tian.

But Tang Tian has already retired.

Two different voices, arguing endlessly on social media.

This also shows that the series has reached a fever pitch at this moment.

What everyone can see is that after winning Tianwangshan, the Pelicans have already won the match point, and they can directly advance to the Western Conference Finals by winning one of the next two games.

Therefore, their psychological pressure will be relatively small. After all, even if they really lose the sixth game, the tiebreaker will be played at their home court.

On the day of the game, the Pelicans arranged daily training, and Tang Tian also appeared at the training site.

After practice, the Pelicans declined interviews, and it was clear that Stevens didn't want to distract the players before the game.

Tang Tian was surrounded by reporters. Although he became the boss, in the eyes of the reporters, he still seemed to be a member of the Pelicans.

Tang Tian's attitude towards the game tonight was similar to before. He was still full of confidence in the team.

"Now there is a saying in the outside world that the players' physical strength is approaching the limit after the series is played, just like LeBron's performance is abnormal, the Pelicans can consider resting the main players or playing less, strategically giving up the sixth game ?”

A reporter asked such a question.

This was not long after it was raised on social media, and many people responded.

The sixth game is an away game, and the seventh game is a home game. If you save your energy and play the seventh game, you will definitely have a better chance of winning than the sixth away game.

"No, we're not going to do that, we're going to play every game, this team isn't going to give up a game."

But Tang Tian's answer was very firm.

His answer was somewhat official, but that was certainly not what he had in mind.

If you change positions, he is now the owner of the Lakers, and the Lakers lead 3 to 2. If the sixth game is played away, he will choose to give up strategically.

This is determined by the structure of the team.

James is 36 years old, and Horford is also 34 years old. Proper rest is necessary as the core.

But he is in the Pelicans. The two cores of the Pelicans, and even the rotation lineup, are all in their prime.

Such a game-by-game fight is more beneficial to the Pelicans.

Even if the sixth game really doesn't work out, it consumes a lot of physical strength of the Lakers and it is safe to make money.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Pelicans to give up in the sixth game, and they will even play more fiercely than before.

This is what he had communicated with Stevens before.

That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Lakers kicked off at the Staples Center.

Tang Tian still appeared at the scene, but the person sitting next to him was Curry.

Los Angeles is a metropolis, and Curry brought his wife to watch such a wonderful game.

The two met outside the arena. It was rare for Curry to see Tang Tian, ​​so he asked his wife to switch seats with Tang Tian, ​​and the two sat together and chatted.

Tang Tian's life after retiring is very interesting. Curry is like a primary school student asking and looking forward to it.

Although Curry loves basketball, the essence of human beings is still salty fish, and everyone wants to enjoy life.

They were chatting, and the players on both sides had already entered the field to warm up.

Durant didn't look particularly good during training.

"Do you think Kevin can win tonight?"

At this time, Curry brought the topic back to reality, and turned to ask Tang Tian.

"What do you think?"

Tang Tian didn't answer, but threw the question back to Curry with a smile.

"I hope he wins."

Tang Tian laughed after hearing this.

Curry's answer is interesting.

It is not a judgment, but an expectation.

From these words, you can feel what kind of person he is, a good person.

"Stop laughing, what do you think?"

Curry looked at Tang Tian and asked.

"I think he can win."

Feeling and hope are two words with completely different meanings.

Curry froze for a moment, then patted Tang Tian on the shoulder and laughed.

Tang Tian is really interesting sometimes.

While the two were chatting, the warm-up had already ended on the court. Soon after, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams started to play one after another.

Both sides continued to use the starting lineup of the previous game.

At this stage of the series, the two sides already know each other very well, and the fight is about the state and details on the court.

Gasol jumped the lead for the Pelicans, but Durant's first shot from the field didn't make it.

Looking back, James broke through and scored a layup, giving the Lakers the lead.

In the frontcourt position of the Pelicans, Durant's emergency stop jumper with the ball still missed.

"Kevin didn't feel very good today."

Curry couldn't help but speak when he saw this.

Tang Tian nodded.

During the warm-up earlier, it could be seen that Durant didn't feel very good today.

Not everyone is as systematic as Tang Tian. As a pitcher, a poor hand is fatal.

Especially in a game like this.

James made an emergency stop in the frontcourt and stepped back.

Contrary to Durant, James recovered his physical fitness after enough rest and returned to his entire state.

The scene burst into cheers.

Their judgment is correct, it is impossible for James to play abnormally in two consecutive games!

Curry looked worriedly at the court at this time.

One ebbs and another, although both he and Tang Tian think Durant can win, but judging by the current trend, the Pelicans can't win.

"Stephen, lend Kevin your shooting bag."

Seeing Curry's expression, Tang Tian suddenly spoke.

Curry smiled and nodded when he heard it, then said a prayer, and then made a gesture of shaking his hands, just like throwing the shooting bag to Durant.

But before Tang Tian could react, he had already laughed out loud after finishing it by himself.

Tang Tian smiled helplessly and shook his head, Curry is really a primary school student.

Naturally, Durant couldn't really catch Curry's shot bag. He caught the ball in the frontcourt, made a fake shot and shot straight in.

James knew that Durant was very tight when he felt difficult to defend, but Durant's big loop was difficult to defend. He wanted to block the shot and was called a foul.

Durant went to the free throw line, and the scene was full of boos.

But after Durant adjusted his breathing, he made both free throws.
