The invincible kryptonite of basketball

But the Pelicans assisted in the rotation, and Green didn't have a good chance.

Green lobs the ball back to Randolph.

As soon as Randolph got the ball, the Pelicans' double-team went up again.

After going back and forth like this, the Grizzlies' offense ended with Randolph's difficult layback.

The Pelicans continued to defend against the Grizzlies' offense!

Aminu's playing not only made the Pelicans' inside line tougher, but more importantly, the Pelicans' defense rotation has also done better!

Davis, Aminu, Ariza, Tang Tian, ​​Holiday.

Even for a moment, the effect of this lineup seems to have a feeling of the Warriors' five minors changing defenses infinitely!

In the end of the problem on the defensive end, Tang Tian's singles on the offensive end were more calm.

When it came to the defense against Li in the previous scene, his continuous low-body dribble directly knocked Li down!

An open shot was hit steadily.

Tang Tian scored 10 points in less than half a quarter!

The Pelicans, also relying on his wave of singles, successfully opened the point difference to 9 points!

Jogel called a timeout.

If the fight continues like this, the Grizzlies will really be defeated by Tang Tian alone.

During the timeout, the fans on the sidelines were also restless.

They said so many harsh words before the game, but now they watched Tang Tian perform alone at home.

This feels bad.

If Tang Tian really helped the Pelicans win the game in the end, then everything they said would become a flag!

They looked at Joeger, and now they can only see what adjustments the Grizzlies will make.

Back from the timeout, Gasol Jr. showed his All-Star strength, turning around with a high hook and hitting the Grizzlies to stop the bleeding.

The goal set FedEx Arena on fire.

The fans cheered for the Grizzlies in unison.

When Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, Jogel's adjustment was to start double-teaming directly outside the three-point line.

He really made a choice, choosing to test the open three-point ability of the Pelicans shooters.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Holiday, and Holiday saw that there was a defense and then gave it to Ariza, who made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The ball is hollow into the net!

Aminu was one in front, and Ariza is one now. After the Pelicans came back in the second half, the role players played quite well!

This is also the impact of the situation on the field on the mentality of the players.

Tang Tian continued to score, coupled with the continuous defense on the defensive end, the players' self-confidence improved rapidly.

This just formed a contrast with the first half.

This time Jogel was a little helpless.

Without double-teaming, Tang Tian's strength and his touch tonight can beat everyone in the Grizzlies.

Double-teaming, the Pelicans can score the ball at other points, and it is often a three-pointer.

After the third quarter, the Pelicans have led the Grizzlies by 82 points 67 to 15.

They scored a disparity of 32 to 17 in a single quarter.

In the last quarter, both teams strengthened their defensive strength, coupled with the continuous decline in confrontation resistance, the offensive efficiency of both sides dropped significantly.

In the end, the Pelicans held on to their advantage and defeated the Grizzlies 99-85 in the away game, rewriting the big score to 2-1 and regaining the home court advantage.

At the end of the game, the fans at the scene felt a burning pain on their faces.

Tang Tian scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in this game. The quasi-triple-double data, especially the 16-point performance in the third quarter, was the number one contributor to the Pelicans' victory.

They said that the Pelicans were the nemesis of the Grizzlies, and Tang Tian beat their nemesis to death with his own strength.

They said that Tang Tian had no chance to avenge the Spurs, but Tang Tian proved with his actions that he could find the opportunity by himself.

They said that the playoffs were the stage for the Grizzlies, but Tang Tian forcefully told them that this was the stage for superstars!

The sky is full of flags, twinkling and shining.

The Grizzlies' press conference after the game.

Compared with the ease after winning the previous game, the post-match game was obviously much duller.

No one can be happy when they lose.

"He changed the game, he killed the game."

After Jogel summed up the team's performance, he finally couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In this game, the Grizzlies' tactical implementation was quite successful.

Randolph managed to drive Whiteside out less than half a quarter into the game.

Jokic can't play, Biyombo and McGee have limited effects in the playoffs, the Pelicans collapsed inside, and the Grizzlies really have a great chance of winning.

But Tang Tian's performance in the third quarter directly changed the game.

And taking the third quarter away, the Grizzlies didn't lose in the other three quarters.

So Tang Tian really killed the game.

After the game, ESPN reported the game with Jogel's words, which also attracted crazy discussions from fans on social media.

"After these three games, the Pelicans proved that they are still young in the playoffs, and Don also proved that he is the MVP!"

"The playoffs are a stage for superstars, and Tang's performance is an absolute superstar!"

"Come on to the next game, I can't wait to see the scene where the Pelicans get their revenge!"

"I am really a fan of Tang Quan. He is not only strong, but also handsome in key play, handsome and strong!"

"Haha, speaking of it, I still hope that No.1 in the league can be more handsome. After all, Jordan and Kobe have this tradition!"

"LeBron: ??"

……

ps: Three consecutive updates, I beg the commanders to reward some monthly tickets~

Chapter 672 History repeating itself? (Third update!)

Winning the third game in the series is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for the Pelicans.

The players are also looking forward to being able to go all out and return to New Orleans with a 3-1 game, ending the series directly at home.

"Just treat Zach Randolph as a fart and just let him go."

Before the start of the fourth game of the series, Tang Tian said to Whiteside.

Randolph's words are considered trash talk, but they are actually not too dirty words.

The kind that involves racial discrimination and directly greets parents and daughters is the worst. Tang Tian definitely supports Whiteside.

But the others are actually a test of the player's psychological adjustment ability on the court.

In the NBA, or in the playoffs, that's even inevitable.

So Tang Tian was still doing Whiteside's ideological work more.

Whiteside listened, and in Game [-] of the series, he wasn't challenged by Randolph again.

The Pelicans' interior defense is also significantly better than the previous game.

But this time it was the Pelicans who went wrong.

The rim at the Alliance Express Arena seemed to be covered tonight, and the Pelicans' shooters couldn't throw the ball in.

That's the thing about young teams, they can shoot 60 percent of their [-]-pointers like they did in Game [-], or they can get lost en masse.

If the Pelicans' shooters can't make any shots, the Grizzlies can double-team Tang Tian crazily.

Tang Tian's scoring efficiency under double-teaming was not high. In the fourth quarter, the Pelicans finally lost, and the Grizzlies tied the score at 2-2.

And what's worse, Tang Tian poked his finger when he was double-teamed.

Although not as serious as last year, it will definitely affect his shooting touch in the next game.

The score was 2 to 2, Tang Tian's finger was injured, all this looked so similar to last year.

The promotion situation of the Pelicans has become confusing again.

Sure enough, it is not a joke to not die or peel off the skin when meeting the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

The good news is that the Tianwangshan battle in the fifth game of the series will not start until three days later, which will give the Pelicans an adjustment time.

At this time, most of the first round of the series was also underway.

In other group matches, the Eagles were also forced into a 2-2 situation by the Celtics. The Eagles' style of play was greatly restricted in the playoffs, and Stevens' coaching on the opposite side was also impressive;

The Cavaliers swept the Bucks 4-0, Antetokounmpo was hammered by James on the opposite side, and there were news reports that after the fourth game, he continued to practice until the early morning;

The Knicks and the Wizards played 2-2. Pierce showed his superstar demeanor and contributed to the lore in two consecutive games to continue the life of the Wizards;

The Bulls lead the Raptors 3 to 1, and the Trash Brothers playoffs are worthy of the name;

In the west, the experience advantage that the Lakers fans expected did not play any role. The Warriors swept the Lakers 4-0 cleanly.

The Spurs also led the Trail Blazers 3-1. Relying on Lillard's 40+ against the sky, Portland barely managed to steal a victory. The strength gap between the two sides is obvious. crown dominance;

The most unexpected thing is the match between the Rockets and the Clippers. Harden was a little sleepwalking in the playoffs. They have fallen behind the Clippers by 1 to 3, and they are only one game away from being eliminated as soon as possible.

At this time, the league announced the ownership of the two season awards.

In the selection of the best sixth man, Gordon of the Pelicans finally only ranked fourth.

The award went to the Raptors' Lou Williams, who won by a crushing 60 percent of the vote.

Immediately after the announcement of the selection of the best head coach, the Pelicans missed again.

Hawks head coach Budenholzer defeated Steven Kerr and Williams and was elected the best head coach of the season.

The selection results have sparked a wave of controversy.

In addition to Williams missing the best head coach for the second year in a row, Kerr's failure to make the selection is puzzling.

You must know that Cole led the Warriors to the best record in team history with 67 wins as soon as he debuted.

After Tang Tian saw the news, he immediately sent congratulations to his former coach.

This result is a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable to think about it.

Both Cole and Williams have a disadvantage, that is, whether it is the Warriors or the Pelicans, they were both playoff teams last season.

What the two of them did was to take the team's record to the next level.

Although both teams have set a record in the regular season of team history, they have performed very well, and even have a high probability of winning awards in normal seasons.

But Budenholzer's performance is even more eye-catching. He raised a team with 38 wins last season to 60 wins, and the increase of 22 games is second only to last year's Pelicans.

And the core lineup of the Eagles has basically remained the same as last season.

So it's not that Cole and Williams are not good enough, but Budenholzer's performance is really a bit buggy.

The Pelicans missed awards one after another, another blow to their morale.

At this time, ESPN reporters asked one thing in a recent interview.

In the middle of the season, Xiao Hua accepted Tang Tian's suggestion that he would try out the practice of teams challenging referees in the league.

Now the trial has finally come to fruition.

"We've seen the results, it's made the game more lengthy and less fluid, and we haven't seen anything that works yet."
