The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"Dangdang!"

The ball misses and the basketball bounces off the back edge.

Beverly rushed to grab the offensive rebound, and Tang Tian also recovered to the basket.

Because he was on the defensive side, Tang Tian returned to the basket faster, and he was closer to the ball after he jumped.

At the same time, Whiteside followed suit after jamming Asik.

The two grabbed the basketball almost at the same time.

At this moment, the abnormal thing happened again.

Seeing that it was Tang Tian, ​​Whiteside took his hand back before touching the basketball!

Tang Tian grabbed the defensive rebound!

Looking at Whiteside who had stuck Asik again after landing, Tang Tian realized that this is Chi Guoguo's handicap!

A word came to his mind naturally, Ka Feng.

The person who coined the term was the future Steve Adams of the Thunder.

In history, after Durant left the Thunder, Westbrook's style of play changed drastically. He did not pursue statistics in his record, and scored triple-doubles every game.

In order to cooperate with him, Adams gave way to various positions.

That is, from then on, his frontcourt began to quickly approach the backcourt, and even surpassed it directly in one season later!

A center has more frontcourt boards than backcourt boards. This unbelievable statistic is the origin of the term stuck forward.

Now that Adams hasn't started his card forward career, Whiteside has started first!

Seeing Tang Tian looking at him, Whiteside smiled, and then ran forward.

It's obvious.

Last season, Tang Tian gave each of his teammates a supercar at Christmas, but the teammates gave him various pick-and-roll passes.

Does that feeling mean that he feels uncomfortable when he shoots the ball?

This year is the second year, the gifts have been upgraded, and the performance of teammates has also been upgraded!

How can light pass be enough!

If it's just passing the ball, the only increase in the data is the score!

Assists, steals and blocks are beyond their control, but rebounds are fine!

To be honest, Tang Tian scored explosively last season and had a lot of assists. This season, his scoring was slightly weaker and his assists increased, but his rebounds have never been many.

This is obviously data to be strengthened!

ps: There are also brothers who have guaranteed monthly tickets to support me~ I love you!

Chapter 6 The first triple-double of his career! (First update!)

Tang Tian held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

Under the signal of McHale on the sidelines, the Rockets began to double-team.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Ariza. The latter didn't make a three-pointer and rushed in with the ball.

Whiteside blocked Asik, Aminu also held off Bosh, and Ariza made a quick layup.

The players of the Pelicans worked together, and Tang Tian got another assist.

Bosh turned around and immediately responded by hitting a ball from beyond the three-point line.

The Rockets' ability to reach fourth in the West depends on their offense.

After the first quarter, the Pelicans led by a narrow 30-28 advantage.

The shooting percentages of both sides are above 50%, which means that no one can prevent anyone in this section.

In the substitute stage of the second quarter, the offensive firepower on both sides has weakened, and Jokic continued to show his talent.

Not only can he eat Motiejunas on the opposite side alone in the low post, but his passing has completely revitalized the Pelicans' offense.

Since his comeback, his performance has been very stable. The Pelicans coaching staff has realized that he is more suitable as the sixth man of the team than Gordon.

With this wave of offense, at halftime, the Pelicans led the Rockets by double digits 60-50.

Tang Tian sent out 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the halftime, the statistics are a bit good.

Although he felt it, Tang Tian didn't care about his stats. When Borrego showed him the half-time, he couldn't laugh or cry.

These guys are too cute.

Still, that doesn't look like a bad thing.

If you say that you frantically swipe stats regardless of whether you win or lose the game, you will be shamed.

But the problem is that the Pelicans are still 10 points ahead!

Back in the second half, the Rockets slowed down the pace of the game and began to fight defensively with the Pelicans.

Bosh began to show his power in positional battles. The Pelicans did not have Davis, and no one could restrain him well in positional battles.

This is also the biggest difference between the Rockets and last season. The help an All-Star can bring to the team is obvious.

After three quarters, the Rockets chased the point difference to 72 to 77.

With one quarter left in the game, the two sides still had a dozen.

Tang Tian played the entire quarter, and his personal data has reached 25 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jokic showed his power again. After consecutive assists to Gordon and Morrow hit three-pointers, the Pelicans opened the point difference to double digits again.

The average rookie needs time to grow, but he seems to be a near-finished existence in the NBA.

The Rockets had no choice. They had to replace Harden and Bosh in advance after only 2 minutes in the fourth quarter.

They obviously want to win this Christmas battle.

Jokic played Motiejunas with ease, but he was still at a disadvantage against Bosh. He was pulled out to shoot a three-pointer, and was shaken again at the basket.

The Rockets quickly approached the score, and in a blink of an eye there were only 4 points left.

Williams then replaced Tang Tian and Whiteside.

The two sides entered the decisive battle ahead of schedule.

For the Rockets' possession, Bosh played Whiteside in the low post.

Whiteside defended the ball very hard. When Bosh turned and leaned back, he threw it out and gave a big cap directly.

After the block, he roared excitedly.

They are helping Tang Tian get statistics in various ways, but the premise is to win the game, otherwise those statistics are meaningless.

It's not just Whiteside, the defensive intensity of the rest of the Pelicans is also improving, and they are also very aware of this.

Harden hit a three-pointer close to the buzzer, and Whiteside protected the defensive rebound.

Cole dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Tang Tian.

The Rockets double-teamed, and Tang Tian gave the ball to Morrow, who made an open three-pointer.

Tang Tian also received his 10th assist of the game.

Holiday, Ariza, Morrow, Teletovic...

The Pelicans have undergone personnel changes in the past two years, and the team has accumulated a lot of high-quality pitchers unknowingly.

The point difference came back to 7 points.

"Come on! Team Rocket!"

The fans at the scene cheered for the Rockets.

Harden showed his super giant demeanor, one step away from the three-point line, and hit a large three-pointer with a step back.

The Rockets once again approached the score to 4 points.

This ball further set off the emotions of the home fans.

"Defense! Defense!"

The shouts on the defensive end are also endless.

Cole went to the frontcourt and continued to give the ball to Tang Tian.

Morrow made the shot, and the Rockets didn't double-team.

Facing Breuer, Tang Tian made an emergency stop after changing direction and accelerating.

The shot of the key ball.

"Shh!"

Also hollow into the net.

The two confronted each other for a while at the beginning, and at the critical moment of the fourth quarter, they continued!

Harden continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, seeing that the Pelicans did not double-team, everyone including Bosh pulled away.

Harden played Ariza one-on-one.

Continuous change of direction, acceleration, sudden stop and retreat.

His technical movements are done in one go, but Ariza's defense is well done, and his long arms cover Harden's vision.

"Dangdang!"

The rebound bounced out of the basket.

"beep!"

But at this moment the referee blew his whistle, signaling Ariza's defensive foul.

Ariza couldn't believe it after landing, holding his head in his hands.

This is an air whistle.

Williams protested loudly on the sidelines, but the referee would not change his whistle.

Harden's two free throw opportunities.

Taking advantage of this dead ball time, the starters of both sides were all replaced.

Amidst the cheers of the MVP at the scene, Harden made two free throws and raised his personal score to 30 points.

Still an 4 point difference.

The Pelicans' frontcourt offense, after receiving the ball, Tang Tian swayed away from Brewer and accelerated into the interior.

Bosh came out to help defend.

Tang Tianqiang came up, and the two confronted in the air, but Tang Tian still scored the ball after the confrontation, which also caused Bosh's defensive foul.

A tough 2+1.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Before playing against a strong team like the Spurs, due to various targets, Tang Tian was physically exhausted at the end of the game, and his shooting percentage would fluctuate.

But it is obviously much easier for him to play against the Rockets. With enough physical strength, his scoring at critical moments is stable.

Despite the boos all over the sky, Tang Tian also scored his 28th point in the game and helped the Pelicans widen the point difference to 7 points again.

The Rockets' offense was still Harden's singles. Ariza didn't press forward this time, but he still gave enough defensive pressure.

"Dangdang!"

Harden's shot still didn't go in.

This time the referee didn't blow the whistle, and Whiteside struggled to grab the defensive rebound under the basket.

With about 7 minutes left in the game and a 7-point deficit, the Pelicans now have a chance to break the immediate deadlock.

Holiday dribbled the ball to the front court, and Tang Tian ran without the ball at this time.
