The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Oh, I suddenly feel that there is something wrong with what Mr. Benson said."

Brin said with a laugh in the commentary seat at this time.

Miller turned his head and looked at Brin suspiciously. He didn't know which sentence Brin was referring to.

"He said Don would be the best helper around AD."

Brin continued.

Miller nodded.

"But he doesn't look like he's here to assist AD."

Brin continued.

Miller froze for a moment, then laughed.

Davis is very talented and is the cornerstone of the Pelicans' reconstruction. Although he did not perform well last season, the talent is there, and it will only be a matter of time before he plays out.

To recruit Tang Tian, ​​a top 3D, the Pelicans just want him to assist Davis!

But now this performance, this is really not to assist, it is the boss of the Pelicans!

On the contrary, Davis is a pick-and-roll and rebounder, and looks more like a second-in-command.

The game on the field continues.

Williams trusted Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian completely lived up to his trust.

整个第一节，他高效轰下17分4助攻2抢断1封盖，帮助鹈鹕队在首节就以34比21建立起了13分的领先优势！

Entering the second quarter, both Tang Tian and Davis took a break, and Anderson led the team, plus Reeves Jr., Morrow, Aminu and Jason Smith.

The Rockets are led by Jeremy Lin, plus Garcia, Casspi, Motiejunas and Kaman.

During this period, the weakness of the Pelicans was exposed.

Their starting lineup is not bad, but the bench is obviously weaker.

Especially organization and coordination, Holiday did a mediocre job in the starting lineup, and Rivers Jr. did even worse in the bench lineup.

The Pelicans were basically Anderson hitting two in the post, or him and Morrow running around the pick-and-roll for a catch-and-shoot three.

The Rockets' bench lineup is very active defensively, and their efficiency is not high.

On the other hand, on the Rockets side, Jeremy Lin has the ball as the sixth man, and the effect is better than last season's starting.

When he came back from the starting lineup, Harden was in a brave state and scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Rockets trail the Pelicans by only 55 points 61 to 6 at halftime.

唐天半场砍下22分6助攻3抢断，对飚哈登的23分3助攻3失误。

This kind of performance made the fans on the scene hooked.

"Coach, let me defend Harden in the second half, and let Eric, Judo and AD cooperate to break through."

During the intermission, Tang Tian volunteered to Williams.

Harden practiced hard in the offseason to break the press with both hands holding the ball, and his strength has improved significantly compared to last season, so he must press it.

And more importantly, he scored 22 points in the half, and the Rockets will definitely focus on him in the second half.

At this time, it is obviously a better choice to use restraint to let Holiday, Gordon, and Davis play more.

ps: Thank you for the rewards of Huiyao! !

Chapter 433 30+10! (third change)

Williams nodded.

He is willing to listen to the suggestions of the team members, and he is very compatible with Tang Tianzhen.

Back in the second half, both sides are doing the final warm-up before the start of the second half.

Rockets coach McHale was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines at this time.

"The team lost a full 61 points in the first half, what went wrong with the team's defense?"

The reporter's question was still very sharp.

"We didn't know before the game that Tang developed a new offensive method. We were a little caught off guard, but just like what we did in the second quarter, we have adjusted. In the second half, we will do more on the defensive end. good."

McHale's answer is more honest, but it is also in place.

Tang Tian scored 17 points in the first quarter, 10 of which came from Ganba. They were indeed caught off guard.

But Tang Tian only scored 5 points in the second quarter, which shows that their adjustments are still useful.

The warm-up is over and the game continues in the second half.

The Rockets came up to attack first, and Harden held the ball from the outside.

But at this moment, he found that the defender in front of him had changed, it was no longer Huo Ledi guarding him, but Tang Tian.

The Pelicans have adjusted.

After last year's playoffs, Harden's defense against Tang Tian was somewhat shadowed.

After seeing it now, he directly reached out to signal Asik to come up for the pick-and-roll.

Asik mentioned a high pick-and-roll, but it didn't work.

Last season's data showed that Tang Tian was the best player in the pick-and-roll, and his data value was far behind Tony Allen, who was second.

Asik's consecutive pick-and-rolls failed, Harden could only choose to pass the ball to his teammates, or force Tang Tian.

He chose the latter.

He is confident in his hard work during the offseason.

The Rockets teammate's pull away, Harden's cross-step dribble, and a sudden step-by-step acceleration started.

His speed is obviously faster than last season, and his judgment on defense is also better.

But Tang Tian still blocked his way.

The current Harden is not the Harden who combines human and ball in the future, and the league has not yet introduced the kind of body whistle that fouls at the touch of a touch.

It is difficult for Harden to break through him head-on.

Harden was blocked, and there was still no chance to change the rhythm on the spot. He chose the iconic step back.

The block on Tang Tianpu interfered.

Harden wanted to cheat a foul but Tang Tian dodged it, and the shot after twisting in the air was a non-stick shot.

There was a commotion at the scene.

This scene seems familiar!

Had Harden been defended by Tang Tian last year!

It's been an offseason, nothing has changed, and your uncle is still your uncle.

In the attack of the Pelicans, Parsons defended Tang Tian around the side, and Beverly also blocked Tang Tian's side all the way.

This is an obvious tactical defense against Tang Tian receiving the ball.

But the Pelicans didn't want to attack Tang Tian like they did in the first half.

Seeing that Beverly didn't put himself in front of him, Holiday rushed in from the left.

Beverly couldn't catch up behind him, and Asik was forced to come out to help defend.

This time Holiday threw the ball directly over the basket.

Davis jumped high, grabbed the basketball with his long arms and scored an alley-oop dunk!

The Pelicans took the lead in the second half!

The Rockets advanced to the frontcourt. Jones singled Anderson was interfered by Davis' help defense, and Davis took advantage of the opportunity to grab the defensive rebound.

The ball was given to Holiday, and the Pelicans directly pushed the defense to counterattack.

Holiday, Gordon and Tang Tian's three-line fast break.

Harden and Beverley's retreat.

Holiday passed the ball to Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian passed it to Gordon.

Gordon broke through to the basket, and Harden just gave a symbolic look at this time.

Gordon rushed to the basket and made an easy layup.

The Pelicans went 4-0 in the second half and once again opened the point difference to double digits!

McHale said in an interview before the start of the second half that the Rockets lost 61 points in the half because Tang Tian was caught off guard by his intervention.

But that is one aspect, and more importantly, the Rockets' own defense.

Asik protects the basket well, but moves slowly.

Not to mention Jones, a typical abusive little prince, if Anderson is not the matchup, there will be black holes on both ends of the offense and defense.

And Harden, I don't know if he wasted too much energy during the offseason training hard to break the press, and started to look defensive.

These five starters have three pits, and Parsons and Beverly alone will definitely not be able to carry them.

Harden made another sudden attack on Tang Tian in the frontcourt, this time Tang Tian seized the opportunity and made a successful steal!

After being robbed, Harden defended with his eyes again, stretched out his hand to complain to the referee, and didn't even chase after him.

After stealing the ball, Tang Tian threw the ball to Holiday, and then went on a fast break.

After Holiday's pass from the backcourt, Tang Tian saw Davis follow up quickly after receiving the ball, a precise through ball.

Davis took three big steps to catch the ball, and scored with a one-handed dunk through Parsons' supplementary defense!

Downs cooperates!

6 is better than 0!

McHale looked confused on the sidelines.

Is this still the Pelicans he played last season?

It's okay for Tang Tian to be caught off guard in the first half, but in the second half, the Pelicans are more blooming!

Harden didn't make a three-pointer with a step back.

McHale turned around and called Jeremy Lin and Motie Yunas. The team now needs to continue their firepower on the offensive end.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Davis made a high-quality pick-and-roll screen for Tang Tian from the high position on the right.

Tang Tiandou came out to catch the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.

Davis reciprocated!

The Pelicans came back in the second half and already beat the Rockets 9-0!

McHale's midfield adjustment failed at the beginning!

And the more flowering scenes of the Pelicans are not even as good as the first half!

Before Jeremy Lin could play, he stretched out his hand and called a timeout.

Both the first half and the second half were called timeouts 3 minutes after the start. McHale's operation is estimated to become the focus of heated discussion among fans after the game.

After returning from the timeout, the Rockets switched back to the previous simple man-to-man.

But in this way, Tang Tian's medium and long-distance dry pull hits one after another.

And there is also a good show of bukkake Parsons.

That's the thing about dry drawing. Like Tang Tian's opening, he chooses a reasonable hit rate, but if he feels it, he can also ignore the defense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harden made sudden penalties to help the team chase points, but one king took four bronzes, and there were obvious physical problems in the second half of the quarter.

The Pelicans eventually won the game 120-105.
