The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Holiday gave the ball to Stephenson's organization and ran a three-pointer himself.

At this time, the nine people on the field were also panicked.

Tang Tian's ability is too strong, the opponent may not be able to defend against it, and his teammates may not be able to catch it.

Stephenson is completely like you don't know what ball he will pass.

But the panic was over quickly, because Stephenson quickly gave the ball to Dinwiddie.

The Pelicans coaching staff has requirements for Stephenson, and he is not the first organization point on the field.

Just when the Rockets players breathed a sigh of relief, Stephenson, who was going to pick and roll after the ball was out, blocked half of it and suddenly took the initiative to cut to the basket.

Dinwiddie passed the ball quickly with quick hands. After receiving the ball, Stephenson threw off Capela and directly scored with one hand.

The Pelicans bench boiled for a while.

Just ask if you panic!

Chapter 788 Three Sections 20+20! (Fourth update!) (repair)

Tang Tian also laughed on the bench.

Stephenson and McGee are similar, but for completely different reasons.

McGee lacks attention, but Stephenson thinks more about it on the court.

Sometimes it's creative, and sometimes it looks stupid.

But Stevens' approach is in place, reducing his possession of the ball, covering up the stupid side, and letting him play the creative side.

However, even Stephenson is not the focus of the Pelicans on the bench.

After Bo Yang entered the starting lineup, Dinwiddie is now the team's sixth man.

As a disciple of Nash, he also did a good job, not only controlling the situation very well, but also using his ability to break through and score from time to time.

After the transition period from the bench, the Rockets did not close the score like last time, and the point difference on the court was still 13 points.

When the substitute came back, Tang Tian came back, and the game entered the mode of the first quarter.

Double-teamed or not double-teamed can not prevent.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Rockets by a score of 60 to 42.

Brin and Miller were blowing up Tang Tian in the commentary booth.

The Rockets are in hot form after the All-Star Game, and the opponent they won is more valuable than the Pelicans.

Like they said in the opening, it's going to be a close game.

But Tang Tian changed the game by himself.

16 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists in the half.

Tang Tian took fewer shots than in previous games, but the entire Pelicans team was activated.

In the locker room at halftime, D'Antoni and Bzdelik were frowning.

In the last game, Cousins' violent temper caused them to lose the game, and they were unwilling to lose.

But this time they had nothing to do with Tang Tian.

The defensive end was randomly thrust, and the offensive end was also brought to a stateless state.

And what worries them more than losing this game is that if the Rockets aim to win the championship, the Pelicans must be the hurdle they have to pass.

If they can't solve Tang Tian's defensive problem now, they will still be ravaged like this in the playoffs.

While discussing, the door of the coach's office was knocked open, and Paul walked in.

"Let me guard Don."

After Paul came in, he took the initiative to ask for D'Antoni.

When Paul was in the Clippers, he once defended Durant alone.

Although there is a big difference in height, he used his defensive skills to defend against Durant's offensive efficiency.

The Rockets' defensive ability on the flanks is definitely stronger than that of the Clippers at that time, but they turned out to be as defenseless as the Clippers.

D'Antoni nodded, double-teaming in front of Tang Tian's pass was meaningless, and he couldn't defend against it alone. Going to Paul was the last resort.

Paul left after exchanging details with D'Antoni.

"If Chris doesn't work, the only way we can do it is to consume."

After Paul left, Bzdelik spoke to D'Antoni.

No matter how powerful a superstar is, physical fitness is also a problem, and choosing to consume is the last way.

D'Antoni nodded in agreement.

It's just that Tang Tian's defensive strength is also very strong, and the Pelicans are not the Pelicans two years ago, and Tang Tian is not the only one who is strong.

If Tang Tian can't score and is blown away by the rest of the Pelicans, then the game may be over in three quarters.

So he still expects Paul's defense to work.

Back in the second half, the Pelicans took the lead.

Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, and then found that his defender had become Paul.

1米83防2米03，足足20公分的高度差，也就保罗能这么防了。

After Paul faced Tang Tian, ​​he defended oppressively and made various small moves.

This is also his defensive characteristic. Durant, who defended like this at the beginning, was very uncomfortable.

His purpose is also very clear, he doesn't want to give Tang Tian a three-threat offensive space, or force Tang Tian to dribble.

That's smart.

But Tang Tian didn't intend to fight him like this at all, he turned his back directly, and began to punch Paul with his back from outside the three-point line.

After all, Paul is a defender, no matter how many small moves he is afraid of such hard work, he was pushed to the free throw line like a bulldozer by Tang Tian.

After Cousins ​​saw it, the defense came in, but Tang Tian turned around and passed the ball at the same time, and the ball had already flown into the hands of Jokic on the outside.

Jokic received the ball and made a shot from the outside.

If this is the first game after the All-Star break, then he may not be able to shoot so decisively.

But after so many games, he has adapted.

The more decisive the shot, the higher the hit rate.

With Jokic's three-pointer, Tang Tian's personal assists rose to 13, and the Pelicans also widened the point difference to 21 points.

There was a commotion at the scene, and the game had already been spent in three quarters.

At this time, Paul patiently talked to Cousins, telling him not to double-team.

Although Cousins ​​was unhappy, he accepted it.

In the next wave of the Rockets' offense, Harden showed his personal ability. Facing Holiday's defense, he hit an iconic three-pointer with a step back, bringing the point difference back to 18 points.

In the next round, Tang Tian continued to shove Paul hard in the frontcourt. Paul was pushed into the penalty area and had no power to parry, so he could only choose to foul.

Tang Tian is not Durant. His confrontation and style of play are much tougher than Durant's. Paul's defensive style is not effective for him.

Tang Tian walked to the free throw line, made two free throws steadily, and opened the point difference to 20 points again.

Harden made a breakthrough layup and scored again. His touch in the second half was much better than that in the first half.

Turning around, Tang Tian continued to hit Paul. Paul tried to steal it, but Tang Tian turned around and stepped back.

One round can't explain anything, two rounds may be luck, but for three consecutive rounds, D'Antoni already knew that Paul couldn't defend Tang Tian.

Although very reluctant, the only option left for the Rockets is the last one.

D'Antoni made a tactical gesture on the sidelines, and the Rockets began to use Harden to play Tang Tian.

Harden feels good in this period, which is a positive signal for the Rockets.

But Harden was blocked in the first round against Tang Tian.

Facts have proved that Tang Tian's defensive ability, he wants to defend, he is the best defensive player in the league.

The Rockets insisted on playing Tang Tian on the offensive end. After Tang Tian put his physical strength into the defensive end, the offensive end was more organized.

His scoring has not increased much, but his assists have continued to rise.

He can always find and seize the fleeting opportunities on the court, and send the ball to the teammates who have the most chance to score.

Just like Nash who had his own system at the beginning.

Although sometimes the pass is a bit biased, and teammates will miss some opportunities after receiving the ball, but the overall feeling is that the Pelicans are playing easier than ever before.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' strategy did not work at all.

The Rockets' attacking Tang Tian was inefficient on the offensive end. The defensive end defended Tang Tian but failed to guard the rest of the Pelicans. At the end of the third quarter, they were already behind by nearly 30 points.

The core of Bzdelik's suggestion is consumption, but after three quarters, it is completely meaningless, because the fourth quarter has become a complete garbage time.

而唐天在这一节怒送8个助攻，三节打卡的他得到了21分20助攻5板3抢断……

Chapter 789 show time (the first update!)

At the end of the third quarter, Tang Tian's data was displayed on the big LED screen.

And next to this data, there is a new record.

There are not many people who have scored 20+20 in NBA history. If the scope is narrowed down to 20 assists, there are only 12 people.

But among these people, none of them can score 20 points and 20 assists in three quarters.

The person who picked him up most recently was Paul, who was sitting on the opposite bench with his head wrapped in a towel.

What's interesting is that the Clippers' opponent at the time was the Hornets, the predecessor of the Pelicans.

At that time, Paul scored 20 points and 18 assists in three quarters, and the Clippers beat the Hornets.

But now, the heavens are reincarnated.

The Hornets turned into pelicans, and Tang Tian returned everything to Paul.

In the end, the Pelicans beat the Rockets 123 to 100 on the road, extending their winning streak to 13 games.

After the All-Star Game, they are still undefeated.

Tang Tian didn't play in the fourth quarter, but his performance in the third quarter was enough for the fans to talk about.

"Now it's not just the Rockets, the other 29 teams in the league have to think about a question, how can they defend Don."

"Don is really amazing. He surprises us every season. This pass is the same as last year's fadeaway. It burst out and then gave everyone a headache."

"This is not a sudden explosion. Tang's assists in the past few games are not low, and the previous fallback is the same. It was reported that he had been training all summer. This is the result of accumulation."

"No matter what it is, the only thing I'm grateful for now is that I'm a Pelicans fan, the only group of people who don't have a headacheㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ"

……

Fans have been talking about it on social media, and the actual situation is not much different from what they think.

They could have ignored the weak teams before, but now they can no longer turn a blind eye, or they should be the next unlucky one.

But the problem has been taken seriously, but it seems that there is no solution.

In the history of the NBA, there is really no player who can play all three skills of sudden shooting and passing to this level.

Tang Tian was close to Kobe's peak before, and with this elusive pass, his personal strength must surpass Kobe's.

Although the technical characteristics are different, the last player who gave them such a headache was Michael Jordan.
