The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Anthony scored 40 points, including the quasi-lore shot, and finally lost.

And Tang Tianhong scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, helping the Pelicans extend their winning streak to 24 games!

They now have the opportunity to break the 27-game winning streak set by the Heat!

And just as amazing as the winning streak, Tang Tian scored a triple-double for the fourth consecutive game!

He broke the record of consecutive triple-doubles held by James!

New York fans expect the Knicks to end the Pelicans and let them witness legends in Madison.

But their words were only half realized in the end. The Knicks failed to end the Pelicans' winning streak, but they witnessed Tang Tian's legend!

And what's different from the previous three games is that the Pelicans players didn't try to give Tang Tian a lot of data in this game, but Tang Tian still got a triple-double!

Habits become natural, which seems to explain the legendary reason why Westbrook averaged a triple-double for three consecutive seasons in history.

Now, the never-satisfied fans are looking forward to Tang Tian's continuous triple-double record.

Five, six...even Chamberlain's nine!

The attention the Pelicans are receiving now is unprecedented!

After the road trip, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans, and they will have a game against the Grizzlies two days later.

However, on the second day back to New Orleans, Tang Tian missed the team's training, and asked for leave with the coaching staff, so he will miss the game against the Grizzlies.

Downs had a fever.

Although someone has been hired to take care of her, Olsen is still the main force as a mother, and it is difficult for him to take care of two people by himself.

In the end, I took care of my elder brother, and my younger brother developed a fever when he was not paying attention.

Tang Tian was away with the team and didn't know about it. Olson didn't call to tell him because he was worried.

Didn't find out until he got home.

Tang Tian didn't blame Olsen, he blamed himself more. As a father, he didn't spend much time with his newborn son.

Both the coaching staff and management agreed to his leave.

If it is not really necessary to create the threshold of history, Tang Tian will definitely not miss the game.

But life is bigger than basketball, and they all respect Tang Tian's choice.

Tang Tian and Olsen were both in bed in the hospital, and Tang Tian even turned off his mobile phone and stayed up all night.

Fever is a very dangerous thing for newborn babies.

Fortunately, Downs' fever subsided successfully the next day without any sequelae. This was the best news for Tang Tian and Olsen.

Good things come in pairs. Tang Tian received text messages from Demps, Stevens, Williams and his teammates after turning on his phone the next day.

Although both he and Davis were absent from the game, even though the game was very thrilling.

但凭借着约基奇25分12板5助攻，以及博扬5三分的表现，鹈鹕队还是以91比90惊险战胜灰熊队。

After winning this game, they continued to extend the consecutive record to 25 games!

History is still being refreshed!

Chapter 757 Five consecutive triple-double games (second update!)

After Downs' fever subsided, Tang Tian returned to the team.

Family is life, but basketball is a profession, and being a player requires professionalism.

The Pelicans' opponent in the next game is the Trail Blazers.

The Blazers disintegrated this past summer, leaving four of their five starters last season.

Aldridge, Matthews, Batum, and Lopez went to four different teams, and Lillard was the only one left.

Such a change would theoretically take them from a playoff team to a rebuilding team.

But the result was completely different from what was imagined. With the strong rise of second-year student CJ McCollum, the Trail Blazers directly entered the era of two guns.

Moreover, the state of the two guns is hot recently, with a wave of four consecutive victories and came to seventh in the West.

The Pelicans had a sweet schedule at the beginning of the season, winning every game, but in late December, the schedule began to become difficult.

The Pelicans aim to win 26 consecutive victories, but in addition, the players are also working hard to continue breaking the record for Tang Tian.

Although Tang Tian missed the last game, if he continues to get a triple-double this time, the consecutive triple-double records will still be continued.

The game was held in Portland, and the Moda Center was as packed as Madison before it, and now every team is scrambling to end the Pelicans' winning streak.

At the beginning of the game, the Pelicans, like the previous few games, worked hard to create opportunities for Tang Tian to get statistics.

A few days ago, Tang Tian was worried that his son's sleep quality was poor, and his condition was mediocre, while the opposing Trail Blazers were in a hot state.

This approach made them passive at the beginning.

After the first quarter, the Pelicans trailed the Trail Blazers by 22 points 30 to 8.

During the timeout between quarters, Stevens reminded the players to focus on the game, and Tang Tian also asked the players not to deliberately block him or give up the board.

In the second and third quarters, the Pelicans players adjusted their mentality, and the Pelicans' state also recovered.

However, the opponent's double guns were on the ups and downs tonight, scoring 60+ points in three quarters, and the Trail Blazers still held a 10-point lead.

In the last quarter, Tang Tian finally recovered and scored consecutively to help the Pelicans chase points.

With the firepower of the double guns, he finally tied the score 30 seconds before the end.

The rest of the Pelicans also tried their best. Ariza basically didn't rest, and he suffered from leg cramps.

But at the critical moment, habits became natural. After McCrum's throw failed, both Jokic and Aminu instinctively gave way to Tang Tian.

As a result, Harkless grabbed the frontcourt board and gave it to Lillard on the outside.

Lillard made a strong three-pointer against Holiday, and the goal also caused Holiday's thugs to hit four points successfully.

This big-hearted goal also helped the Trail Blazers win the game.

The Pelicans' winning streak is fixed at 25 games.

After the game, the fans cheered loudly, Lillard waved his hands full of momentum.

In this game, the combination of two guns scored 70+, and the hit rate was as high as 60%, which is average, but this is their recent state.

As for the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored a triple-double with 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, extending his streak of triple-doubles to five games.

But like he said in the press conference after the game, the loss made that less meaningful.

On the second day of the training session, before Stevens came, Tang Tian called the players together in the locker room.

"Guys, I know you guys are trying to help me win MVP lately, but stop doing that, winning is more important."

Tang Tian said to all the team members.

Others are helping him, and the team has been winning, so it is difficult for him to speak.

But now the team's loss is an opportunity to say this.

Peak Westbrook's experience card looks good, but he doesn't want to really keep experiencing it.

Triple-doubles, or things like statistics, will naturally come when the strength is reached, and it is meaningless to deliberately get them.

On the contrary, this approach will definitely hurt the team in the end.

And just like playing with the Trail Blazers, habits come naturally, and this habit will become fatal in the playoffs.

So it has to be changed back before it becomes a fad.

When Tang Tian spoke, the team members nodded one after another.

Originally, they were helping Tang Tian.

It's a pity that the winning streak was ended, but they can't keep winning. Judging from the reaction of the players, it is a good thing to lose this game.

There is bad news and good news. After playing the Trail Blazers, Davis fully recovered from his injury.

After participating in the full field confrontation training, he is ready to come back.

The Pelicans' next game is at home against the Pacers.

Before the game, a reporter asked about Davis' comeback.

"The team's winning streak was terminated after losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game. Should the coaching staff consider letting Davis come back early?"

What the reporter asked was an afterthought, but it is indeed a question that is worth discussing.

Davis recovered from his injury in a week, and he can play if he wants to play, and it was only two days ago that he played the Blazers.

The Pelicans had only lost by 4 points. If Davis played, they would be able to continue the winning streak in all likelihood.

"No, we won't do that. AD's health is more important to us than the winning streak. What we need to consider is the entire season and the playoffs."

Contrary to the reporter's expectation, Stevens answered very simply.

It can be felt that this is the truest thought in his heart.

"But that was a 25-game winning streak. You would have had the chance to equal or even overtake the Heat's 27-game winning streak, creating the second-best winning streak in history."

The reporter reminded.

Stevens smiled.

"That sounds good, but I think it's too long. The players will do their best for that record, even to the point of getting injured (referring to Ariza). Considering the winning streak, they won't have that much psychological pressure."

This statement from Stevens drew a nod from reporters.

This is indeed true.

Although he didn't open his eyes and didn't know how hard the Warriors in history fought for 73 wins, which led to the lack of playoffs, the Rockets are an example.

In order to win 22 consecutive victories, Yao Ming was injured, and McGrady even fought with injuries so that he was directly abolished next season.

Therefore, the winning streak is exciting and exciting, but it may not be a good thing to blindly pursue records.

It's also the same as Tang Tian's idea. When the Pelicans' offense is well-established, there will naturally be such a winning streak again, and it may be even more violent.

Perhaps to verify what Stevens said, the Pelicans basically didn't give their opponents a chance in the game against the Pacers that night.

Leading by 10 points in the first quarter, it directly changed to 20 points at halftime, and at the end of the third quarter, they rushed to 30 points.

The main force of the Pelicans went straight to get off work in three quarters, and they finally beat the Pacers 112 to 90.

After Hibbert and West left one after another, George experienced the feeling of being alone. The Pacers really can't do it tonight.

After the Pelicans regretted losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game, they immediately used a big victory to justify themselves.

Chapter 758 Pelican Fire War (Third Update!) (Revised)

If one big victory can't explain anything, then there will be two more games.

The Pelicans beat the Suns and the Nuggets by 30 consecutive points the rest of the week.

After the 25-game winning streak was ended, they ushered in a new wave of three-game winning streak.

Although the strength of the opponents in these three games is not too strong, such a big victory also reflects the current state and fighting spirit of the Pelicans.

Almost 2 months after the start of the season, the Pelicans finally found their sense on the offensive end. Now their offensive and defensive state is the peak since the season.

After this wave of victories, their record before Christmas reached 28 wins and 1 loss, beating the Warriors with 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.

The time has come to Christmas before you know it, and the annual Christmas battle is coming.

And this year's Christmas game is full of highlights.

Silver's understanding of basketball is not as good as Stern's, but his sensitivity to the market, especially the US domestic market, is worse than Stern's.

The Warriors fly to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers, the Pelicans host the Rockets, the Thunder take on the Spurs in San Antonio, the Mavericks and the Knicks face off in Madison, and the Heat and Nets take on the rivalry at Barclays Center .
