The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The entire New Orleans arena was set on fire.

This cooperation, this dunk, the Pelicans they are familiar with came back in the second half!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

The Pelicans beat the Mavericks 10-0 in the second half, and all 10 points were scored by Tang Tian alone!

This scene is very similar to the famous scene in "Naruto".

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and suddenly a figure looked down at the crowd, and then read out his lines.

"How many floors does a bag of rice have to carry..."

Then, the situation was reversed instantly.

ps: Everyone go to bed early, good night.

Chapter 8 Ideal is full (the first update!)

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks cooperated in the frontcourt, and Nowitzki finally hit a jumper after receiving Butler's pass.

It took more than four minutes to score the first goal. The Mavericks had a difficult second half.

Back on the defensive end, after seeing Tang Tian holding the ball, the Mavericks did not double-team, but used Butler to defend alone.

The ball in front of Butler was well defended, and Carlisle overreacted a little in front, and quickly adjusted back.

Tang Tian glanced at Butler, but did not attack directly.

In terms of defensive ability and defensive talent alone, Butler is much worse than Leonard.

But the problem is that they practice hard together every summer, and Butler knows his skills too well.

There is a chance for a strong attack, but it is impossible to score every goal like just now.

In other words, continuing to attack will make his scoring efficiency decline.

The Mavericks didn't mean to double-team, Tang Tian stretched out his hand to signal Davis to move to a high position for a pick-and-roll.

Butler wanted to go around the pick-and-roll, but Davis was so big that he successfully blocked him.

And after Davis blocked, he cut back to the basket, and Butler had to switch defenses.

Tang Tian switched to match Nowitzki.

The small ball era has weakened the role of the center. It has become more and more common for the small to play the big, and the big man to be pulled out of the military training by the small man.

Tang Tian is now playing Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's offense is historic, and there is almost no solution to a golden rooster alone, but his defense is very average.

The peak period was very average, and it is even worse now that he is older.

This is what Tang Tian grasped.

After the continuous cross-step dribble made Nowitzki's center of gravity swing, he took a step to the right and simply made a sudden stop.

Nowitzki couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and he didn't throw it until Tang Tian had made a move.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian continued his hand feeling, and made further progress.

Individuals scored 12 points in a row!

In 5 minutes, Tang Tian scored more points than in the entire first half!

The Pelicans lead by 4 points!

The fans at the scene have gone crazy.

This is the MVP!

Carlisle rubbed his forehead with his hand.

He was still thankful that the Pelicans didn't allow Tang Tian to attack much in the first half, but now it seems that Stevens had reservations at the beginning.

The problems that were not solved in the regular season will still not be solved in the playoffs.

The Mavericks had no chance in the positional battle, and Harris' last shot at the buzzer hit the frame.

Butler said that the Mavericks have already run in completely, but without a good point guard, it is not so easy for a team full of scorers to run in.

Jokic made a long pass from the backcourt, but Holiday's layup was destroyed by Butler and went out of bounds.

For the Pelicans' frontcourt ball, Jokic still sent the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang hadn't missed a shot in the second half, so it wouldn't be appropriate not to hit him.

Carlisle made tactical gestures while shouting at this time.

It's still Butler's single-defense Tang Tian.

Davis continued to put up the pick-and-roll, but Butler still didn't go around. Davis' body is too thick and his reaction speed is fast.

But Butler didn't go with Davis, but reached out to double-team Tang Tian with Nowitzki.

This is Carlisle's tactical response, and it's accurate.

This kind of sudden defensive change, if it was Tang Tian before, he could only be forced to pass the ball to the outside players.

But now his passing vision has become much larger. Before the double-team is formed, he raises his hand and passes the ball directly from Nowitzki's right side.

A nice touchdown pass, and the ball arrived as soon as Davis was in the paint.

The moment Davis took the ball, his face was delighted. He had experienced the feeling of playing at the peak of Stoudemire.

Take the ball, jump, and dunk with ease with both hands.

The Pelicans continued to be strong, and they had already played a 14-2 offensive in the second half!

Carlisle could only shake his head.

Tang Tian can switch between scoring and passing freely now, it is really too difficult to defend.

In the commentary seat, O'Neill looked at Barkley and Smith, smiling like a 300-pound child.

"You know what I'm trying to say right now?"

O'Neill suppressed a smile and said.

Both Barkley and Smith shook their heads.

"Okay, Charles, you think the Mavericks have a chance to black eight, and Kenny, you think the Pelicans are like the Eagles."

O'Neill stretched out his hand while talking, making a movement that imitated a woman's breast.

"I just want to say that your ideals are... very full, like this, but the reality..."

He said and made Smith stand up again.

"Reality is like Kenny's waist, very skinny."

Both Barkley and Smith laughed.

O'Neill has begun to talk about the philosophy of life.

But I have to say that they overestimated the strength of the Mavericks, and underestimated the strength of the Pelicans, or Tang Tian.

The Mavericks really didn't have much to do with Tang Tian. Tang Tian played suddenly, shot or passed, and played with ease.

In the third quarter, he scored 20 points and 6 assists.

Under his leadership, the Pelicans beat the Mavericks 40 to 19 in this quarter, winning by 21 points in a single quarter.

If they hadn't had some advantages in the first half, they would have been taken away by the Pelicans.

The game on the field was still going on, and Carlisle was a little autistic sitting on the sidelines at this time.

He tried many methods to limit Tang Tian, ​​but none of them worked. He thought he had strong enough coaching ability, but now he couldn't limit a single player.

But this is not entirely his fault, the Mavericks' lineup is still very flawed.

Regardless of the lack of a reliable point guard on the offensive end, they have even bigger problems on the defensive end.

The two veteran players, Deron and Nowitzki, are now defensive colanders;

Harris and Embiid, one is slow and the other is immature;

Relying on Butler's wing alone cannot support an entire defensive system.

If it's one-on-one, Butler's defense against Tang Tian is not bad.

But as long as the Pelicans' offense rotates and other people's defenses are not in place, the Mavericks' defense will become riddled with holes.

This is also the reason why Tang Tian seems to be able to fight with ease.

If the opponent is a warrior who can switch defenses infinitely, that's another story.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans' bench group worked hard. Dinwiddie and Bo Yang joined hands to play a 13-2 climax, directly extending the score to 20 points.

Carlisle replaced the main force to chase points, but the point difference was too large to recover.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Mavericks 106 to 91 at home and won their first victory in the playoffs.

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki scored a team-high 26 points, Harris and Butler each scored 19 points, and Embiid scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in his playoff debut.

鹈鹕队这边唐天得到33分12助攻6板2抢断，戴维斯有22分12板3盖帽2抢断，约基奇得到14分10板4助攻。

Stevens has strong coaching ability, but after all, he lacks experience in the playoffs.

He ideally wanted to let other players find their status at the beginning of the game, but that proved to be unacceptable.

On the contrary, it was the second half that made him understand that the playoffs are the stage for superstars, and even the status is brought along by the superstars.

Knowing this, he won more than just the game in front of him.

Chapter 8 O'Neill is the happiest (second update!)

"It's not the end of the world, we'll get it right for the next game, I've been through that."

In the press conference after the game, Nowitzki, as the boss of the team, was very calm.

But after the press conference ended, he left the media spotlight with a dignified expression.

Having played in the playoffs for so many years, he obviously knows that the team's current situation is very dangerous.

If Tang Tian's defensive problem cannot be solved, it will be really difficult for them to win.

"We'll find a solution."

Seeing Nowitzki's dignified expression, Butler spoke persuasively.

Nowitzki glanced at Butler, nodded with a smile.

Butler's personality is sometimes strong, but among these new teammates, he is the one who chats the most with him.

The Mavericks locker room is a bit dull, and losing is uncomfortable.

"Zaza, why don't you find a way to make Tang..."

Justin Anderson spoke to Pachulia, half of what he said, but the second half was anyone's guess.

Since he couldn't defend himself and wanted to win, he could only use outside moves.

Even if it is exchanged, it will definitely make a lot of money for the Mavericks.

Pachulia smiled and said nothing.

Although I still have some shadows in my heart, it has been a few months since I was beaten.

When the scar is healed, forget the pain, and time can always make people forget the unpleasant experience.

If the team really wants him to do that kind of thing, he's willing to take the risk.

After all, his target was not Tang Tian before, but if it were Tang Tian now, it would be regarded as avenging his previous blow, killing two birds with one stone.
