The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian's paragraph is like a sharp knife, invincible.

When Popovich saw this, he shook his head unconsciously.

The Spurs let Tang Tian go. After last season, the outside world said they let go of a McGrady.

It now appears that it was not McGrady they let go, but Kobe!

And Kobe, among all superstars, averaged the most points per game against the Spurs in the playoffs.

This wry smile contained too many emotions, and the next second he put away his smile, turned around and chatted with the team's new first assistant Messina about defensive details.

Gasol's attack at the basket was interfered by Whiteside, Davis accepted the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans became another wave of offense by the Spurs!

During this period, Tang Tian asked for anything on the offensive end, and the two insiders provided him with the most powerful help on the defensive end!

Tang Tian turned his back and caught the ball again. This time, Parker double-teamed him early, not giving Tang Tian a chance to catch the ball!

The meaning is obvious, Cole, if you want to shoot, just shoot, the ball won't reach Tang Tian anyway.

Cole shot a three-pointer directly after seeing it.

"Shh!"

in!

The opening three-pointer was a chance shot, but this time it was directly open.

After confirming Tang Tian and Davis as the core, most of the other Pelicans players are developing in the 3D direction.

The three-point shot is the core content of their usual training. Not everyone can practice the moving three-pointer that Nash asked them to practice well, but this kind of wide open.

Parker really dared to let Cole go like this, Cole really dared to enter!

11 is better than 14!

The Pelicans played a 9-2 offensive, chasing the point difference to only 3 points!

Popovich reached out and called a timeout.

"Kawhi, you go to defend Tang, let's change to 2-1-2 defense, don't double-team."

Popovich rearranged the team's defensive tactics.

It's an old tactic for the Spurs.

Focus the defense on the three-point line and the restricted area.

Limit the opponent's three-pointers and layups, and give up the mid-range to the opponent appropriately.

That area is the lowest scoring efficiency.

The Spurs used to have Bowen, and now they have Leonard. One-on-one static defense is not bad, which can further reduce the opponent's mid-range efficiency.

Taking a step back, with this defensive method of isolating the opponent's core, even if Tang Tian scores a lot of points, the Pelicans may not necessarily win.

Before the game, Popovich said harsh words to prevent Tang Tian from scoring 50 points, but he is not a stubborn person, and winning is the first goal.

Back from the timeout, Duncan hit a low post and scored a goal, breaking the Spurs' scoring drought.

The point difference was widened to 5 points again.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Tang Tian saw that his defender had become Leonard.

Looking at the Spurs' defensive positions again, he knew the Spurs' defensive adjustments at once.

Not only because he was a coach in his previous life, but more importantly, he stayed with the Spurs for 2 years, so don't drink too much with Popovich and chat about tactics.

This defensive tactic is a bit extreme, and there are only two outcomes.

Either he beats Leonard, and the Pelicans win; or he can't beat Leonard, and gets a high score with low efficiency, and the Pelicans lose.

This is the way Popovich used to deal with the peak Kobe and the Lakers.

He turned his back to pass the ball, and then faced Leonard.

This defensive method will have assisted defense on the three-point line and the penalty area, so the only offensive space left for him is the mid-range.

Leonard is slower than him, but because of the limited offensive space, his defensive effect will be more obvious.

This adjustment by Popovich is indeed the best adjustment.

He lowered his body and dribbled the ball alternately with left and right hands, suddenly changed direction with one step to the right, and then made a sudden stop and pulled out.

Tang Tian used three techniques in one round, and he also knew that to break this kind of defense, he had to do his best.

Leonard followed. He knew that Tang Tian would not shoot in. The ball completely blocked Tang Tian's shot angle.

There was joy on his face.

When defending against other people, he doesn't pay attention to success or not, and he doesn't have emotional fluctuations, but Tang Tian is different. It will be a great encouragement for him to defend against the next time.

But at this moment, Tang Tian turned dry and fell back in the air!

Strong waist and abdomen strength!

Sister-in-law must be very happy!

An inexplicable thought flashed through Leonard's mind, and then he saw the ball flying past his fingertips.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound of entering the net behind him.

Tang Tian made 4 of 4 shots in this quarter and scored 8 points!

Four ups and three irons?nonexistent!

ps: Happy International Women's Day everyone!Remember to give your wives and girlfriends gifts, and if not, buy a hand cream!

632+ three chapters and 3 consecutive games with 50+! (two in one)

Leonard's expression turned blank in an instant.

In the end, it still didn't work.

Seeing this change in his expression, Tang Tian unconsciously flashed the scene in Hokage in his mind.

"My stupid brother..."

He is feeling hot now, and Leonard has to work harder to prevent him.

Popovich let Tang Tian play Leonard one-on-one in the middle distance.

It turned out that his choice was wrong.

Tang Tian's hand was hot, and Leonard couldn't restrain it. Although the rest of the Pelicans didn't score much, Tang Tian scored 18 points in this quarter.

And more importantly, Tang Tian's crazy output boosted the team's morale, and the Pelicans' defense improved a lot.

Whiteside and Davis played an absolutely high-intensity defense.

After the first quarter, the Pelicans instead led the Spurs by 26 points 22 to 4.

Popovich reacted quickly, and after seeing that the defensive strategy was not working, he immediately switched back.

Tang Tian's backhand feeling dropped a bit, and the two sides fought to a 1-level tie with 93 minute left in the fourth quarter.

For the Pelicans' possession, Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt, and he double-teamed the ball to Davis, who turned around and hit the board in a low position.

It was a good shot, but the ball bounced to the front of the rim and bounced out.

He's becoming more like Duncan, but still has a long way to go in terms of consistency.

Gasol protects the defensive rebound.

The Spurs played a hammer tactic in the frontcourt, and Parker made a quick breakthrough layup.

"boom!"

Davis flew to help defend, gave Parker a chasing cap, and took advantage of the opportunity to receive a defensive rebound.

He made up for it.

Williams called a timeout, and in the last 20 seconds, the Pelicans had a chance to win with one hit.

Back from the timeout, Cole dribbled the ball in the frontcourt to control the time until about 10 seconds.

Tang Tian circled out to catch the ball.

Green and Leonard rushed forward frantically. The Spurs never thought of giving Tang Tian a shot for such a crucial ball.

But Tang Tian never thought of making a direct move.

He dumped the ball to Davis high up.

Just when the Spurs returned to defense, he suddenly accelerated and cut to the basket.

He hit the east and west!

Davis is tall and has a wide field of vision. The key is to pass the ball well with long hands. This time, he returned the ball to Tang Tian. After receiving the ball, Tang Tian stopped abruptly and pulled it out.

The audience held their breath.

"Shh!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net!

With 2.6 seconds left in the game, Tang Tian scored the key goal to win the game!

He also scored the 38th point of the game!

Although it failed to reach 50+ in a row, this crucial shot directly killed the game!

Popovich called the final timeout.

2.6 seconds, it is difficult for the Spurs to arrange a complete tactic.

Back from the timeout, Gasol serves from the sideline.

The Spurs played a throw-in tactic, Parker made an air-cut screen, and Green used the pick-and-roll to come out and catch the ball for a three-pointer.

This tactic is very Popovich. It is estimated that no one would have thought that Green would make the last shot.

Davis' interference is slow, and Green has a good shot space.

The ball spins toward the hoop.

"Dangdang!"

However, the ball was shot a little bit wide, knocked on the right edge and popped out.

The Pelicans won!

The cheers of the fans at the scene were ready to come out.

But at this moment, Leonard got rid of Ariza and rushed to the basket, jumping up a little.

"beep!"

The moment he took the penalty kick, the red light on the sidelines was on.

The ball rolled in after bouncing a few times on the rim.

The Spurs players cheered excitedly.

There was a commotion at the scene.

Because it was a tip-up at the buzzer, LED playback was carried out on the spot.

The ball had already left the hand when the playback showed that the light was on, and Leonard's final tip-up was valid!

The two sides will usher in overtime!

There was an uproar at the scene, and the game was played with ups and downs.

In 5 minutes of overtime, Davis and Gasol re-jumped the ball.

This time Gasol jumped to beat Davis and gave the Spurs an offensive opportunity.

There are only 5 minutes in overtime, and a team usually only has 6-7 chances to attack, each of which is critical.

The confrontation between the two sides was fierce.
