Stevens adopted Brown's suggestion, learned the Rockets' defensive strategy, and protected Jokic.
Harden changed twice and failed to get Jokic and had to give up. He finally broke through to the basket against Holiday's defense and missed a shot.
His hands didn't look very good tonight.
Jokic protected the defensive rebound.
The Rockets retreated quickly and did not give Jokic a chance to make a long pass from the backcourt.
Jokic gave the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball halfway, and suddenly made a long swing.
At this time, players from both sides are moving to the frontcourt, and many of them are facing the Rockets halfcourt.
Harden and Tucker turned their heads one after another, and then saw the ball pass by them and fly directly into Bojan's hands.
Bo Yang received the ball as soon as the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right was in position.
The pass was unexpected, but he reacted quickly and threw it as soon as he got it.
"Shh!"
Just throw it away!
He scored two three-pointers in the opening game!
He has continued the fiery touch of the three-pointer contest!
There was a commotion on the sidelines.
As the new three-pointer leader, Bo Yang's accuracy is a bit scary!
D'Antoni frowned.
The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.
The fans saw Bo Yang's precise three-pointer, but what he saw was Tang Tian's continuous second pass.
This scalpel-like pass through the defense reminded him of a person.
Former disciple Steve Nash.
As soon as the thought came to him, he shook his head involuntarily.
That's impossible, how could Tang Tian, a swingman with forward and guard, have the passing ability like Nash?
The Rockets' offense, Harden broke through the basket again, and the shot caused Jokic's defensive foul.
As the NBA's best one-point player, he doesn't feel good about making free throws.
Steady two free throws, Harden helped the Rockets bite the score.
"Defense! Defense!"
The Pelicans got off to a strong start, and the live DJ began to drive the fans to cheer.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the three-point line in the frontcourt. Just when the players on both sides were in tactical positions, he suddenly made a sudden through ball.
The ball passed by Harden's side, causing his eyes to roll.
In the next second, the ball was in Davis' hands.
After Davis settled in the frontcourt, he received a pass as soon as he turned around to screen Bo Yang.
He hadn't expected it at all, but he turned around and found himself unguarded.
Bojan scored two consecutive three-pointers, which put a lot of defensive pressure on the Rockets. Tucker and Morris had a communication problem on the defensive end. Both of them went after Bojan, but Davis was left alone.
"Oh!"
After Davis reacted, he dunked vigorously with both hands!
8 is better than 4!
There was a lot of restlessness on the sidelines, the Pelicans played extremely strong after the start, and they were extremely smooth!
"God, this ball has eyes!"
Brin was as expert as D'Antoni, and he was overwhelmed by Tang Tian's successive passes.
This is already the third consecutive assist that Tang Tian sent out after the opening game!
ps: Special thanks to the squad leader Yi Lie and Deng Zhen Xiaoqiang for their rewards.
ps: I will upload a photo tomorrow... I wear...
Chapter 787 One person takes the ball and nine people panic (third update!)
D'Antoni walked from the bench to the sidelines, shouting to remind his teammates to pay attention to Tang Tian's pass.
He already realized that Tang Tian was different from the last fight.
In the Rockets' offense, Cousins beat Jokic in the low post, but was blocked by Davis, who was helping to defend.
After Brown became the first assistant coach, the one who benefited the most was Davis, whose defensive use was maximized.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Holiday directly handed the ball to Tang Tian to play No. 1 tactic.
As soon as he took the ball, the five Rockets were a little panicked.
Those who watch the game are still experts, but the people on the field can understand it best.
Tang Tian's pass tonight was too lethal.
It is fast and accurate, and the key is to show off.
Paul turned his head from time to time to remind his teammates to run. He had played against Nash at the beginning, and he could feel this best.
Tang Tian put on three threats and raised his eyes to look inside. Tucker couldn't help turning his head.
But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly changed direction to the right.
Tucker turned his head and saw Tang Tian passing by him quickly.
He turned around to chase, and Tang Tian had already rushed into the free throw line and made a shot with his hand.
The other most direct change brought about by the improvement of passing is that the defensive defense Tang Tian is even more troublesome.
The double-teamer didn't dare to go up at all, and the single-defense was trembling.
D'Antoni rested his chin on his hand and looked back at Bzdelik.
He really doesn't know much about defense.
Bzdelik shook his head helplessly.
Tang Tian was already difficult to defend, but after the threat of passing the ball increased, he really became the kind of player who could not be defended.
Harden broke through for a layup and scored against Jokic.
Jokic has already committed a foul and dare not make another easy move.
Stevens turned around and called Biyombo to come on and replace Jokic.
His insight is very strong. Tang Tian alone can lead the team's offense in this period, and the rest needs to be done well in defense.
Tang Tian took the ball in the frontcourt and continued to play the No. 1 tactic.
This time he and Davis drove to the basket after a pick-and-roll, and he jumped up in the air and turned 360 degrees looking for a layup.
But after attracting Cousins to help defend, he gave Biyombo a close-range through ball.
This is an absolute second pass, but Biyombo was not ready to catch the ball, and directly dropped it out of bounds.
Immediately after Biyombo made a mistake, he patted his chest to indicate that it was his.
Tang Tian didn't blame Biyombo, but just signaled him to pay attention next time.
It has been more than a week since his passing ability has improved, and the starters are gradually adapting to his passing, but the bench players still need time.
"Stay focused."
Stevens also reminded the rest of the field to stay focused after the Pelicans retreated.
Cousins beat Biyombo in the low post.
Biyombo is shorter and less able to eat cakes, but he is indeed tough enough.
Cousins didn't move, and his turned hook was almost covered by Biyombo's long arm.
The ball hit the frame and Biyombo received a defensive rebound.
Cousins' ability is definitely much better than that of Biyombo. If he breaks through the free throw line with the ball, Biyombo will be difficult to defend.
But if he chooses a low position, Biyombo will not suffer.
Biyombo gave the ball to Holiday, and Holiday went to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian caught the ball and posed three threats.
This time, not only the 5 people on the Rockets panicked, but also the other 4 people from the Pelicans panicked.
The Rockets didn't know whether Tang Tian wanted to attack or pass, while the Pelicans didn't know whether they would receive the pass.
If he can't catch the ball like Biyombo, not only will he be scolded by Stevens, but he will also be ashamed.
But Tucker is the one who panics the most. He has never seen such a difficult person to guard in his career.
Tang Tian took a tentative step with his right hand, and Tucker took a big step back.
And the rest of the Pelicans weren't watching either. The off-ball side's cooperation went back and forth, and the rest of the Rockets couldn't stop paying attention.
Tang Tian made a three-pointer, and Tucker threw it all out.
But Tang Tian turned around and bypassed directly.
After turning around, the speed was very fast, and Tucker lost it again.
Tucker's defense is tough, but it's not a question of toughness at all. It's that after he gained weight this season, he couldn't keep up with Tang Tian's speed at all.
Tang Tian passed Tucker and went in. Cousins, who was under the basket, tried his best to save, and Tang Tian threw the ball directly.
Biyombo was 120% focused this time, and when he saw the ball, he jumped high, grabbed the ball in the air with his long arms and scored a dunk dunk.
Tang Tian's fourth assist.
The fans at the scene felt like they were going crazy.
His personal attack power is S-level, and now his passing ability has also evolved to S-level. This is Kobe who can pass the ball!
No, Kobe and James fit together!
How to prevent this!
D'Antoni was even crazier, he reached out and called a timeout.
After returning from the timeout, the Rockets replaced Tucker with Mbah a Moute.
If Tucker can't keep up, he will change someone. Anyway, the Rockets have a lot of flanks.
But it turned out that it was useless. Tang Tian crossed Tucker like crossing the road in the early morning, and crossing Ba Mot was nothing more than the road in the morning that had been cleaned.
And whether it's Tucker or Mbah a Moute, what they can't defend is that every skill of Tang Tian's sudden pass is too strong.
It's like triple poison, you always have to choose a cup, but it's nothing more than the difference between poison and extreme poison.
About 9 minutes into this quarter, the score on the field was 28 to 15.
The score is very real. The Rockets scored 15 points, which is not a small amount, but they couldn't defend the Pelicans at all, or they couldn't defend Tang Tian.
Tang Tian scored 9 points and 8 assists in 6 minutes. This is based on the premise that he chooses to pass the ball more.
But whether it is the fans or the players of the Rockets, now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The two sides entered the rotation time, and Tang Tian also went to rest.
On the sidelines, D'Antoni and Bzdelik were nervously discussing the next defensive strategy against Tang Tian, and the game on the court continued.
For the Pelicans, Holiday and Biyombo are still on the court, and Dinwiddie, Stephenson and Aminu are all substituted.
The Rockets kept Paul and Mbah a Moute, Brewer, West and Capela replaced.
