Simmons' frontcourt breakthrough was directly blocked by Davis, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

Durant was the first to make a fast break, and after receiving the ball in the frontcourt, he drifted in the air to avoid Middleton's layup and score.

He missed two consecutive shots in the opening game, but he scored 4 points in a row after that.

"You're right, he's going to win."

Curry pouted and nodded at this time, he found that Durant really changed a lot after he arrived at the Pelicans.

The first thousand 390 chapters he changed his fate

Durant scored 4 points in a row to help the Pelicans tie the score, but looking back, James made a breakthrough, jumped up and passed the ball to Middleton without looking at anyone in the air.

Middleton's wide open three-pointer hit.

This ball can enter James' top ten passes in history, and it can be seen that his state has really recovered.

Looking back, Durant still didn't make an emergency stop jumper in the double-team break.

His touch this time is really bad, and Curry's shooting bag obviously didn't give him.

But fortunately, Davis is strong inside, leaping high with his long arms to grab the offensive rebound, and turning around to score the second offense.

James' breakthrough in the frontcourt finally failed.

Looking back, Durant received the pass from Holiday, faked the shot to attract double-teams, and then distributed it to Davis. The latter made a strong move and caused Randall to beat him.

Although it doesn't feel good, as Curry saw, Durant's current style of play is different from that of the Warriors and Lakers.

In addition to shooting, both breakthrough and passing are done very well, and the switching between the three is also done very well.

If I have to say it, it is an enhanced version of the Thunder period, and it is the real version of Durant.

The Pelicans showed what Tang Tian said in front of the reporters at the beginning, they will never give up strategically in this game.

After the first quarter, the score was 27-23, with the Lakers leading.

In the second quarter, Vogel made tactical adjustments, and made appropriate shots for Durant's defensive strategy from comprehensive defense to anti-burst.

Durant's touch still hasn't recovered, which also affected the Pelicans' offense.

After halftime, the score on the court became 57 to 47, and the Lakers extended their lead to double digits.

"Are you going to the locker room?"

At this moment, Curry turned to look at Tang Tian.

The Pelicans played very well and worked very hard, but they were still 10 points behind. Tang Tian may need to do something.

Tang Tian shook his head.

"They'll make adjustments."

He looked at the field as he spoke.

During the intermission, players from both teams returned to the locker room one after another, but Durant stayed to practice shooting after communicating with Stevens for a while.

Originally, there was an activity to win 2 US dollars by shooting in the middle circle, but after communicating with Durant to no avail, it could only be changed to a halftime three-point game.

Curry followed Tang Tian's gaze, and he couldn't help laughing after reading it.

Durant is a bit strong.

On one side of the venue, Durant found a ball boy to practice shooting, and on the other side, he was conducting a midfield three-point contest.

The host's loud shouts and spotlights attracted the attention of most fans.

But Tang Tian and Curry's eyes were always on Durant.

They watched as Durant worked his hand back a little bit.

For superstars, their muscle memory has made them almost machines.

What Durant is doing now is like making corrections and getting back the muscle memory.

This method is very effective, but generally speaking, no one will do this during the halftime break. After all, rest and adjustment are more important.

But Durant probably felt that his poor shooting affected the game, so he did it honestly.

He practiced until the two teams returned to the court one after another, and then he sat on the sidelines and began to rest.

Stevens went over to exchange a few words with him, probably asking about his physical fitness.

Durant kept nodding.

In the early stage, even in the middle stage, he was vomited several times by Tang Tian, ​​but at the same time his physical fitness also improved a lot.

Everything has pros and cons, and the things that made him embarrassed before, now benefit him instead.

Back in the second half, the Lakers took the lead, and James made a sudden stop and made a fallback shot.

He played out of order in the last game, and he became as stable as a robot in this game.

Putting aside physical issues, James is now the strongest version in all aspects.

But in the next round, Durant received a pass from Holiday, caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, and immediately returned an answerball!

James assisted Randall's mid-range shot and also scored.

Durant also has a turnaround jumper!It also caused Randall's thugs, 2+1!

His touch is back!

Vogel reached out and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

Durant regained his touch, which is by no means a good signal for the Lakers.

Durant also had additional penalties, and the point difference was narrowed to 8 points.

Vogel reached out and made a tactical gesture. The Lakers should have adjusted their defense.

Horford missed a low shot. Looking back, Middleton was very tight against Durant, obviously preventing him from shooting.

Durant received the ball with his back, and after turning around, he made three threats. The fake shot shook Middleton up, and he hit the basket and caused a foul by Horford's thugs. He made two free throws.

After the touch came back, he played significantly more actively and aggressively than in the first half.

"Don, I think he looks more and more like you."

After watching a few rounds, Curry turned to look at Tang Tian.

"Close to Zhu Zhechi, playing with me will get better if you stay with me for a long time, how about it, do you want to try it?"

The Pelicans started chasing points, Tang Tian was in a good mood and joked with Curry.

Curry waved his hand immediately, he still prefers to play in the Warriors.

Tang Tian didn't care either, everyone had different personalities, and it was probably the only one in the league who could treat defecting to the enemy like Durant did.

While the two of them were talking, Durant scored another beautiful pull-bar reverse basket, which was everything.

Durant is in a brave state, and the Pelicans continue to approach the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans had already tied the score.

In the last quarter, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, people turned their backs, and the whistle sounded frequently.

In less than half of this quarter, the accumulated fouls of the two teams have already reached five times.

And the further you play, the lower the scoring efficiency of the two teams will be.

This is a very natural thing. The physical exertion caused by the confrontation greatly affects the hit rate.

The two sides have changed from gun battle to hand-to-hand combat, just like in war.

The game came to the last minute in a blink of an eye.

James broke through for a layup and missed, and Davis scored a defensive rebound.

Looking back, Durant didn't make a three-pointer, but Davis grabbed a rebound and made a tip-up, and the Pelicans got a key two-point advantage.

The Lakers called a timeout. After the timeout, James showed his big heart and hit a three-pointer from the outside to help the Lakers overtake the score.

In 20 seconds, the Pelicans called a timeout.

After a timeout, Stevens arranged for Durant to take a shot, and Durant's jumper at a critical moment... still nothing!

Obviously, there was no rest in halftime, and Durant's physical consumption here is much greater than that of James.

But it was still Davis, who couldn't grab the rebound, so he used his arm to slap the ball back to Durant.

Durant got the ball again and made a jumper almost at the buzzer.

"Shh!"

This time he finally grasped it and directly hit the lore!

101比100,鹈鹕队1分险胜湖人,大比分4比2淘汰对手晋级到了西部决赛!

Durant did what Tang Tian said, he finally defeated James and changed his fate!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the whistle sounded, the eyes of the fans were full of despair.

The eyes of the Lakers players were also full of disappointment.

James trembled even more.

It's okay to lose to Tang Tian, ​​but he actually lost to Durant!

This is really crazy!

But he quickly adjusted his emotions. At his age, if he really loses, he loses.

And this time his 35+ triple-double, plus the previous 40+ triple-double, he really tried his best.

The Lakers fans at the scene began to applaud their players, especially James, which was mixed with a lot of roars of "LeBron".

But on the other side of the field, the Pelicans were already celebrating.

They were underrated, but they did it in the end!

Durant was even lifted up by his teammates and thrown directly into the sky.

In this round of the series, Durant averaged 36 points per game, which is the team's well-deserved number one contributor to the promotion.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have the feeling of playing next to Tang Tian in this series!

The celebration of the Pelicans lasted for a while. After shaking hands with the Lakers, they returned to the locker room to celebrate.

Tang Tian greeted Curry at this time, and was about to go to the locker room.

But as soon as he walked into the player tunnel, he was stopped by reporters.

All the members of the Pelicans ran to the locker room to celebrate. They couldn't interview anyone, which happened to block Tang Tian.

There was no other way, Tang Tian could only answer the questions on behalf of the team members.

"How do you rate Durant's performance?"

The first question the reporter asked was Durant.

As the data shows, Durant is the most critical factor for the Pelicans to win the series.

"He conquered his destiny."

Tang Tian summed it up in very simple words.

This answer also satisfied the reporter.

Durant said in an interview before, "My friend said this is my destiny." Tang Tian's answer now is tantamount to confirming once again that the friend Durant talks about is him.

"If you were to rate Durant's performance in the series, how would you rate it? Out of 10 points."

Reporters seem to like to ask scoring questions.
