The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Some sharp-eyed fans even said that Tang Tian's breakthrough was not strong, and that he could be restrained to death by preventing the breakthrough.

On Nov. 11, two days after their opening game against the Rockets, the Pelicans returned home to a wave of back-to-back games.

They will play against the Mavericks at home first, and then immediately fly away to challenge the Magic.

The fate of the Mavericks and the Rockets in the summer is very similar. They also failed to chase Howard and Tang Tian consecutively.

But luckier than the Rockets, they signed Monta Ellis, Calderon and Dalembert three consecutive starting-level players in the free market, and their strength has increased a lot compared to last season.

The Pelicans played in this game was far more anxious than the first game.

Holiday's slightly anxious organizational skills, Anderson's defense like the early morning road, Davis' weakness in confrontation...

Even Williams' tired coaching ability was exposed in this game.

With Nowitzki and Carlisle around, the Mavericks' weakness will always be one of the three falsehoods in Texas.

But what was unexpected was Tang Tian's performance.

Despite Carlisle's targeted defense, Tang Tian still frequently scored shots.

It was not until this time that many people later discovered the difference between Tang Tian and Mai Di.

McGrady wants to pull it out in order to look handsome.

On the other hand, Tang Tian would try his best to choose some good opportunities to make shots in the first half, and then try some difficult pull-ups after his hand feels better.

Seems like a small difference, but the effect is very different.

Moreover, Tang Tian doesn't have a strong desire to attack like McGrady. After being targeted by Carlisle's defense, his catch and dribble have become conventional weapons.

Coupled with his strong personal defensive ability and precise passing ability, the Mavericks really can't completely limit him.

At the last moment of this game, Tang Tian's continuous pull-ups and three-pointers hit the ball, helping the Pelicans beat the Mavericks 103 to 98, and won the two consecutive victories after the start of the game.

唐天全场29投13中，三分球5中2，再砍30分6助攻2抢断2封盖！

He scored 30+ in two consecutive games!

And the difference from the first game is that this time he was the carry at the critical moment and truly played the core role of the team.

This time, the fans on social media were blown up again.

A theory?

clap clap clap!

If one game is not enough, two games are enough!

Tang · professional face-slapping · day.

The Mavericks fans even expressed emotion that "we are the number one loser in the summer Tangtian battle".

"I feel like I've been beaten by my cousin."

Carter smiled wryly after the game.

"He's more difficult to guard than you think."

Even Carlisle, who has always been known for his excellent tactics, gave such an evaluation in front of the media after the game.

"When did Carlisle become so weak?"

"The Mavericks are all old people's teams, and Carlisle is obviously unable to do what he wants."

"The old driver should retire quickly, let a guy who can only shoot the ball score 30 points on his head, this is really not guaranteed at the end of the season!"

……

But after the game, the voices of doubting Tang Tian still persisted, and the angle was so tricky that you couldn't refute it.

Tang Tian's predictions during the offseason still underestimated these sunspots. Even if he performed well, he should still be black.

But Tang Tian obviously didn't have time to worry about these things. He followed the Mavericks and flew to Orlando the next day, preparing for back-to-back games against the Magic.

After the Magic traded Howard to leave the team last season, they have completely entered the rebuilding process. Now they are the home of the kid, and the main players are all young players.

Vucevic, Tobias Harris, Oladipo, Afflalo...

The first two are rookies who entered the NBA with Tang Tian. One is the second place player with a 41% shooting percentage and scored 14+4+4.

And compared to the lineup, the head coach of the Magic, Jacqui Vaughn, was even worse. He didn't even target Tang Tian during the game.

Facing such an opponent, the Pelicans were relentless, leading by 15 points in three quarters, and finally beat the opponent 106 to 86, 20 points to usher in a three-game winning streak!

Tang Tian continued to maintain his fiery touch, scoring 30 points, 3 assists and 2 steals in three quarters!

Pelicans fans can't contain their excitement

And this is not the end!

Back-to-back at home after two days of rest, the Pelicans played against the Grizzlies and the Pacers successively.

Although due to the gap in team strength, the Pelicans failed to win these two games.

But Tang Tian still performed bravely, scoring 31 and 33 points in the two games respectively!

After the start of the game, he has 5 consecutive games of 30+!

ps: Special thanks to Little Zhao Zilong v5 and the absurd beliefs for the rewards! !

Chapter 436 Exploding Tang Tian

"This is real Don madness!"

Fans chanted on social media after the game.

Tang crazy, this word comes from the fact that Tang Tian played 10 consecutive 20+ games at the beginning of the season last season.

At that time, the fans were bewildered.

But now, there are not so many consecutive games, but the data is even crazier!

5 consecutive games of 30+!

This is something that super scorers like Chamberlain, Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson have done.

Tang Tian did it in the third season of his career!

And at the beginning of the season, he has 5 consecutive 30+ games, and he is the second player after Chamberlain!

"Hey, friends from San Antonio, how are you?"

"The user you called is temporarily unable to dial. The signal tower in San Antonio has been smashed by fans."

"This is really too magical. Although Tang Tian averaged nearly 20 points per game last season, this is 30+ points in a row, and he switched to the Pelicans!"

"I remember who said before that it was Tang who didn't feel compelled to count the days. Come and stand up, let's have a good chat!"

"This is so compelling, it's so simple, my God, what kind of luck did I hit, a big water bird, to snatch Tang!"

"It is said that the management of the Pelicans has promised that he can have a say in management decisions. This is really not something that ordinary teams can do."

"It's not surprising. It's also a small city. The Pelicans and the Spurs pay more attention to each other. This is the gap."

"Now the effort has paid off, and the Pelicans have gained a scoring champion!"

"He really didn't just come to assist Davis!"

"Don't talk about it, besides, I'm really going to stop and blow that guy's ass off Buford!"

……

Fans chatted on social media, and TNT chatted in the studio.

"I've never seen a third-year rookie play like this, including Kobe."

O'Neill said it was Old Kehei.

"Yeah, maybe Chamberlain did, but I was lying in my mother's arms and sucking, so it was the craziest act."

He then added.

He was born in 1972, but Chamberlain retired in 1973.

"Yes, I think everyone, except the Pelicans front office, everyone underestimated this guy."

Barkley also nodded in agreement.

"We all thought he was just a 3-and-D role player."

Smith continued.

"Yes, including the management of the Spurs, a role player does not deserve the maximum salary. This is common sense and a normal judgment."

O'Neill took the call.

"Especially he is still a role player in a system. We discussed this topic and we analyzed it at the time."

Barkley nodded. To be honest, Durant's remarks at the time did lead the trend of Twitter.

"But now, all of us have been slapped in the face, a slap in the face."

O'Neal concluded with a smile.

Both Barkley and Smith nodded with wry smiles.

"So why? Why is it that all of us are wrong in judgment and he was able to play like this?"

O'Neill then looked at his two partners and asked a question.

"One thing I think we've all consciously overlooked is that Don's only 22 years old, he's just a junior, and for the last two years of his career, he's been selected to the second team defensively in his rookie year, he's been named to the second team in his second year Selected for the defensive first team and won the best defensive player.

Oh, and he hit key goals many times in the finals, helping the team achieve two consecutive championships, and also won the FMVP by the way.

When we don't look at his style of play, but look at this pile of honors, tell me, who was the last player to perform at this level? "

Smith spoke.

O'Neill and Barkley looked at each other, and then said a name in unison.

"Ervin Johnson."

"Magic" Johnson, and only him, the man who won the Finals MVP and helped the team win the championship in his rookie season, can be compared with him.

"So we all underestimated Tang too much. Although he has been underestimated all the time, I think there may be many other things in him that we don't know. Maybe it's a super learning ability, maybe it's a harder training method than Kobe, maybe It's something else."

Smith opened his mouth to conclude, and also expressed one of his guesses.

Both Barkley and O'Neill nodded in agreement.

Tang Tian was selected by the Spurs with the 31st overall pick in the second round. When almost 30 teams were selected and you were not selected, it shows how underestimated you are.

And of course the Heat's draft promise that's been mentioned every time but dropped.

Then Tang Tian used a season to prove his worth, and used his big heart ability that he had in college to avenge the Heat.

And when the fans worried that he would hit the rookie wall in the second season, he developed his passing ability, improved his statistics to a higher level, and won many high-value honors.

Including this time, he was considered a system player, but he played such a crazy performance after transferring to the Pelicans.

Always underestimated, always improving.

This is Tang Tian.

Really looking back, his experience in the NBA can be called an inspirational blockbuster.

The Big Three of TNT even just reasoned out the facts, which already made people feel like they were bragging.

"The most painful thing for the Spurs now is that there is no regret medicine."

Barkley joked with a smile.

The Heat had been ridiculed for giving up on Tang Tian for two years. Now that the Spurs have given up the matching poison contract, they are afraid that they will take over the Heat.

And according to Tang Tian's current performance in the Pelicans, it probably won't be a year or two.

"I know why I can't win my first TNT career, I'm not on Tang's side!"

O'Neal yelled at Barkley at the end of the show.

This episode of TNT's program is not as explosive as O'Neill's hand-torn skirt, but the ratings are surprisingly high.
