The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt and was double-teamed by Irving. He passed the ball to Holiday, who made a three-pointer.

"Dangdang!"

Holiday's first shot hit the iron.

Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound with his long arms.

Tang Tian speeded up to get rid of Waiters and went inside to catch the ball.

But Whiteside didn't give it. He looked a little anxious, and after a hard shoulder to Mozgov, he shot at close range.

Mozgov is 2 meters tall and 16 kilograms. He is a big meat shield. Whiteside does not have an advantage in static confrontation, and the ball goes out of the basket.

Love took the opportunity to grab a defensive rebound.

The Pelicans' first offense went nowhere.

Love gave the ball to James.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directly charged Ariza, Davis came to help defend, he gave the ball to Love in the corner, and the latter made a three-pointer.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

In the Pelicans' offense, Davis caught the ball and stormed Love, but was blocked by James' defense, and Mozgov protected the rebound.

The Cavaliers played a counterattack, and James passed the ball to Irving in a fast break.

"Shh!"

Come in too!

The Cavaliers got off to a hot start.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian ran without the ball, and broke through to Ariza after receiving the ball.

Ariza's open three-point chance.

"beep!"

"Shh!"

With a three-pointer, Ariza responded with an answerball.

But before the ball was scored, the baseline referee's whistle sounded.

Whiteside was a little anxious when he got stuck with Mozgov, and directly overturned the latter to the ground.

The referee indicated that the foul occurred before Ariza shot, the goal was invalid, and Whiteside was charged with an offensive foul.

The scene was booed.

Tang Tian walked up to Whiteside to remind him a few words.

His energy was focused on Olsen before, and he didn't notice that Whiteside's state fluctuated so much.

The opening few rounds became the epitome of the first half of the game.

The Cavaliers team is in hot form, and James feels like a fish in water, with a sense of presence.

Tang Tian's reminder from the Pelicans didn't help, and Whiteside was still playing in a hurry.

This emotion was also transmitted to the players, and the entire Pelicans team played a little frizzy.

About 7 minutes into this quarter, Whiteside suffered his second personal foul while defending. The Cavaliers have already led 20-9 by 11 points.

"What did I say? Shaq, you gotta use your head."

Barkley laughed and said that winning the bickering with O'Neill is his greatest joy when explaining now.

"It's only seven minutes into the game, man."

O'Neill didn't panic.

Whiteside was substituted and Jokic got up from the bench.

When the two passed by, Jokic wanted to high-five but Whiteside ignored him, and he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

Chapter 653 Tang Tian's Way (Fourth Update!)

Owen made two free throws, and the Cavaliers' lead came to 13 points.

Smith's analysis is very thorough, and the Pelicans' recent state is indeed a big problem.

Just as Irving finished his free throw, the fans on the hotline were already climaxing.

"The competition is the best proof. There is no need to say anything more. Tang and my emperor are not at the same level!"

"Look at my emperor's statistics, 6 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and then look at Tang's, 2 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. It's a joke that Tang ranks ahead of my emperor!"

"Xiao Hua, have you seen it? My emperor is No.1 in the league, and he should be the MVP of this season!"

……

The fans on the hotline were talking in full swing, but the players on the field couldn't see it.

After Tang Tian saw Jokic play, he pulled him to whisper a few words.

The Pelicans fell to the frontcourt, Jokic stood outside the three-point line, and everyone else fell to the bottom line.

Such a position made the Cavaliers' double-teaming impossible for the first time.

Tang Tian held the ball outside the three-point line on the right, and Waiters was defending him.

At this point in history, the Knicks have traded JR Smith and Shumpert to the Cavaliers.

But the summer deal between the Lakers and the Knicks changed this ending, and Waiters is still the starting shooting guard for the Cavaliers.

Without Shumpert, Tang Tian has a great advantage in one-on-one.

He dribbled the ball with a low body and changed direction, and then made a sudden step to the right to pass Waiters directly.

Love on the inside came out to help defend.

Tang Tian took a step inside the free throw line, and after being close to Love, he passed the ball to Davis at the baseline.

Davis took the ball and strode to the basket, pressing the ball into the basket with one hand.

Jokic's playing emptied the Cavaliers inside, and Tang Tian broke into the basket as an opportunity.

Cavaliers coach Blatter yelled at Irving from the sidelines.

Irving dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, used Mozgov's pick-and-roll to get to the basket, pulled the bar in the air to avoid Jokic and scored the ball.

Blatter is well prepared for the game and knows Jokic's characteristics well, knowing that defense is the latter's weakness.

The Cavaliers still maintain a 13-point lead.

Jokic continued to pull the Cavaliers to the basket.

Waiters tried very hard to defend, but he really couldn't guard Tang Tian.

Tang Tian broke in again.

This time Mozgov shrunk to protect the basket.

During the breakthrough, Tang Tian looked back at the moon and gave the ball to Jokic.

Jokic received the ball in a wide open space and shot after aiming at the frame.

"Shh!"

A three-pointer hit the net, and Jokic maintained his recent excellent state, and he came up.

This is his ability.

Whether the big man can stretch the space depends on whether he can make a three-pointer. If he can't make a shot, others can completely hang you on the outside.

Just like Draymond Green in the late Warriors in history, you can cast whatever you want.

But Jokic's state is obviously different from Green's. If the Cavaliers dare to let it go, he can really make it!

The Cavaliers' offense, James broke through Ariza to the basket.

Ariza defended hard, and Jokic also helped defend, and the two worked together to prevent James' layup.

James missed the shot and turned to the referee for a foul. The referee didn't give it.

Jokic received the defensive rebound and gave the ball to Tang Tian immediately.

The double line between Tang Tian and Holiday went down quickly, and he passed the ball to Holiday.

Holiday's layup was interrupted by Owen and bounced out of the frame, but Tang Tian followed up and jumped up to dunk the ball into the basket.

The Pelicans played a 7-2 offensive and narrowed the point difference to 8 points.

Tang Tian scored 2 points and 2 assists in this attack wave, his performance was very eye-catching.

However, the mood on Tang Tian's face did not change. What he did most on the court was to remind his teammates to pay attention to the defense.

He can't see the attacks on the hotline, and he won't take them seriously when he sees them.

He wants to win the MVP not by word of mouth, but by his performance on the court.

Just like when he was playing with the Spurs, he mobilized his teammates when the situation was unfavorable and turned the momentum back. That's how he competed for the MVP.

James suddenly scored Love, and Love missed his third three-pointer in a single quarter.

He scored two goals in a row in front of him, and his touch finally fell back.

Jokic deflected Mozgov with his big butt and reached out to protect the defensive rebound.

The Cavaliers retreated quickly, and Blatter shouted to his teammates again from the sidelines.

After the Pelicans settled in the frontcourt, Mozgov didn't go out directly.

The meaning is obvious, if Jokic is capable, let the Cavaliers die.

Tang Tian gave the ball directly to Jokic, and Jokic made another three-pointer.

"Dangdang!"

His second [-]-pointer missed.

Mozgov receives a defensive rebound.

The Cavaliers played a fast break, and James made a fast break for a layup.

Davis showed his talent, chasing from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and gave James a chasing cap.

This block ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene.

"Come on! Pelicans!"

Holiday dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and there were already neat cheers on the scene.

Mozgov continued to shrink the basket.

Jokic took the ball again and didn't shoot, but motioned Tang Tian to go and get the ball.

Tang Tian speeded up, Jokic handed Tang Tian his hand, and then made a pick-and-roll on the spot.

His size is huge, and Waiters is directly blocked to death.

At this time, Mozgov was under the basket, and the others were far away from the top of the arc. Tang Tian got an absolutely open opportunity.

He directly pulled up a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian was relentless in his key three points.

The Pelicans narrowed the point difference to 5 points!

Blatt's defensive adjustment didn't work, and he turned and called Tristan Thompson up.

Tristan Thompson's nickname is TT, which happens to be the same as Tang Tian's abbreviation.

He is also a rookie in the same class as Tang Tian.

His mobility is better than Mozgov's, and he can get back from beyond the three-point line, which is of great help to the Cavaliers' defense.

However, the previous wave of counterattack climax made the Pelicans find the feeling, and Jokic even used his weight to break through from outside the three-point line to the basket and score a goal.
