But it's a pity that Barkley was slapped in the face again this time.
In the next two rounds, Durant swayed and played 2+1 again, blasting Siakam in one go, and the Warriors also successfully opened the point difference to double digits.
Brogdon can play continuously because of his age and rich NCAA playing experience, which is also a characteristic of older rookies.
But Siakam is different. He is completely that kind of potential stock, with too much difference in experience, and he is not even at the same level as Durant in confrontation.
The defense of the previous ball can be understood as his newborn calf luck, or it can be understood as Durant underestimating the enemy.
The fact is that Ariza's absence highlights his importance. Apart from Tang Tian, no one in the Pelicans can match up with Durant.
Although Tang Tian scored consecutively to help the Pelicans bite the score, but following this rhythm, the Pelicans were quite passive.
Stevens called a timeout, and he was going to double-team Durant.
"Let me do it."
Just like during the Christmas War, Tang Tian took the initiative to invite Ying.
Stevens nodded in silence for a moment.
The Warriors have splashes on the outside. Although they have been in a mediocre state recently, but the Pelicans double-team, the Warriors can play their best unlimited pick-and-rolls and air cuts, which is also the most comfortable way for Splash.
Once the water splashes, the situation will be even more unfavorable to the Pelicans than it is now.
Letting Tang Tian defend against Durant's physical exertion is the worst strategy, double-teaming Durant is the worst strategy, and Stevens finally avoids the important and chooses the worst strategy.
Three days later, Shi Farewell looked at each other with admiration, and two months had passed since the Christmas battle. Durant had regained his confidence in Tang Tian.
It's a pity that Tang Tian's defense really restrained him too much. He failed to score in two consecutive singles.
The Pelicans also took advantage of the momentum and played consecutive counterattacks, closing the point difference to single digits again.
The two teams are like playing chess. In the constant formation adjustment, the point difference changes back and forth, and the balance of victory also tilts back and forth.
This time the balance began to slowly tilt towards the Pelicans.
Seeing that the point difference was about to be evened out again, Curry on the Warriors side stepped forward.
After the penalty scale was changed, Curry's performance was struggling for a while, which was also caused by his style of play.
Putting strength on the pick-and-roll and confronting the body before the shot is a very restrained approach to the pitcher.
But Curry is obviously not an ordinary pitcher, or he is not just a pitcher, he is a superstar.
And superstars have a strong ability to self-adjust.
Just like many people say whether O'Neal and Jordan will not be able to play in the small ball era, that is a question without suspense.
Jordan can become a pitcher at the same level as Curry through practice, and O'Neal will directly wipe out the small ball era...
Curry is a representative of the small ball era, but in fact the small ball era was officially promoted by him and the Warriors.
He started to increase his running distance, play like Ray Allen, and break through the basket more after receiving the ball to do damage.
Whether throwing shots or layups or passing the ball, Curry's continuous performance proved that he can score without shooting three-pointers.
The change in the penalty scale reduced Curry's three-point threat, but at the same time, it also returned him the cylinder that originally belonged to him.
In fact, Curry is the one who is most affected by the penalty scale, but he is also the one who adjusts the fastest.
As early as before the All-Star Game, he had completely adjusted himself and squeezed Paul out of the All-Star starting lineup.
With Curry's performance, the Warriors regained the initiative on the court.
And Curry opened and compressed the Pelicans defense, and Thompson followed suit.
The tsunami brothers of the Warriors finally played against the Pelicans.
But even so, the difference between the two sides has been fluctuating in single digits.
Because the Pelicans had Tang Tian on their side, he took on both offense and defense, gritted his teeth and led the team to a stalemate with the Warriors.
After three quarters, the score on the court was 80 to 87, and the Pelicans were only 7 points behind.
However, this stalemate changed in the second half of the fourth quarter.
The main reason for the change to happen is also Tang Tian.
His stamina is really not enough.
Although Durant is severely restricted by him, he is Durant after all, the small forward with the strongest offensive firepower in the league.
Not to mention that Tang Tian had to shoulder the team's offense.
His stamina is really not enough.
Although he gritted his teeth at the last moment and threw key balls in the confrontation, the score was still not close.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Pelicans 117 to 107 and won the second confrontation of the Pelicans.
Tang Tian scored a game-high 44 points, Davis also scored 20 points, and new aid Williams also scored the most 13 points off the bench.
The Pelicans had no problem scoring 107 points, but their problem was that they couldn't limit the Tsunami Brothers.
Durant scored 33 points, Curry scored 32 points, and Thompson scored 23 points. The three scored 88 points.
The impact of Ariza's absence is obvious, but for Tang Tian, his problem is physical fitness.
If he has a legend, he can play both offense and defense throughout the game, and at least he can limit one of Curry and Durant to death.
The loss made the players and fans of the Pelicans unhappy, but for Tang Tian, he received the best news after the game.
Nike's new year's dividend is about to come out.
Considering his explosive popularity in this year's All-Star voting, that's going to be a lot of money.
ps: I have something to do during the day and I don’t have time to write, so let’s go to midnight. Commanders, go to bed early, good night.
Chapter 934 New skills!legend! (First update!)
Tang Tian's Nike dividend has not yet arrived, but the fans on social media are in a state of ebullition at this time.
What made this happen was a tweet from Durant.
When Durant joined the Warriors last summer, he was attacked by fans, and his social media also fell.
Under pressure, the king of Twitter hasn't posted a single tweet this season.
But this time the Warriors won against the Pelicans, he finally couldn't help it.
"We can beat them all! Championship! @curry @thompson @green"
A very brief tweet, but it attracted endless complaints from fans.
"We won because of Trevor Ariza, what's there to brag about?"
"You look a little handsome in a high-profile way now, but you will definitely be embarrassed when you lose the playoffs."
"Durant: It's dawn!"
"Tang Tian: Sorry, I didn't light up!"
"It's said that people learn a lot from a pit, so Xiaoshuai has forgotten the traitor he said so quickly?"
"You guys are jealous! The Warriors have found a way to win, as long as Durant is staggered to match up with Don, he is invincible!" A statement from a Godfather fan.
"Compared to this, I think Curry's performance is the key. I once thought that the penalty scale would make Curry an ordinary All-Star, but I must apologize now. The superstar's ability to adjust is really strong!"
"Harden's recent performance is also picking up. It is no accident that they can become superstars. They have strong ball intelligence and adjustment ability!"
……
While the fans were discussing the second game of the Pelicans war, another topic was also being mentioned.
Super giant self-adjustment ability.
Although the performances of All-Stars such as Love and Griffin are still struggling, Curry's performance has recovered, and Harden is also recovering.
At this point in adapting to the penalty scale, the superstar has demonstrated a self-adjustment ability that surpasses the All-Stars.
Just the day after the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors, the Rockets ushered in a game against the Jazz.
The Jazz have a tough style of play and are known for their defense.
If the penalty scale is changed, the players who benefit are Butler and Paul, then the Jazz is one of the teams that benefit from it. They have come to the eighth position in the West after a wave of winning streak in the past!
But in the face of such an opponent, Harden surrendered 40 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and led the team to win the opponent lightly.
Fans who watched this game will find that Harden, like Curry, has made adjustments to his style of play.
His three-point shot ratio is still very high, but the number of times he rushes into the crowd after the breakthrough is significantly less, and he chooses to retreat more in the middle distance.
This was originally one of the most important weapons in his arsenal, and he gradually gave it up in order to cooperate with the magic ball, but now he picked it up again.
Not only the mid-range, but his finish at the basket has also become more variable, with small throws, wipes, and even reverse baskets appearing.
He feels more versatile and more reliable, though less explosive in scoring.
If you want to describe it as a player, his current style of play is very similar to Ginobili in his peak period.
The recovery of Curry and Harden's performance made the fans look forward to the next game even more while feeling the super giant adjustment ability.
Because that means that the strength of the Warriors and Rockets has also become stronger, and it will be even more difficult for the Pelicans to defend their title.
The revived super giants, the ever-increasing competitors, but Tang Tian didn't pay attention to these at this time.
On the second day after the game between the Rockets and the Jazz, his bank card received a dividend from Nike.
In the past summer, in addition to launching the third generation of Tang Tian according to the normal plan, Nike also launched an Olympic-style custom-made sneaker, and the sales were quite crazy.
Tang Tian's sneaker dividends this year reached 3000 million!
This number is already unmatched by anyone in active service in the league. Even if it is placed in the entire Nike, it is still quite high!
This dividend also gave Tang Tian a krypton gold value close to 1800 million!
Counting his previous remaining 3600 million krypton gold value, plus some endorsement fees from Coca-Cola and other brands, his krypton gold value reached 5700 million krypton gold!
This krypton gold value is enough for him to exchange for legends!
The legend he has been thinking about!
As early as two years ago when he exchanged for Kobe Bryant's back, he already had an idea about the legend.
Including the yearning of last season and the desire of this season, now he can finally redeem it!
When I think that I can improve from 30 minutes to 40 minutes or even 48 minutes, the feeling is very refreshing.
Excitedly, he opened the system interface, and his hands trembled slightly with excitement.
Legendary (Iverson): Increase the speed of physical recovery by 40%, gain the passive skill "Gallery Fighter", when encountering an injury and need to play, greatly reduce the impact of the injury, condition: must be exchanged for Mask Man (Hamilton).
Red skill, 40% physical recovery speed, which is twice the current mask man's data!
And there are passive skills!
Just like his reaction when he saw the red skills for the first time, although there are not many red skills, each of them is a devastating existence.
He clicks redeem.
After exchanging it, he can obviously feel that the fatigue brought by training is much better, and the soreness has almost disappeared.
Expression skills!
He opened his attribute panel, and his stamina had soared to 95!
If Tyronn Lu saw this, he would think of every possible way to coach Tang Tian, because Tang Tian would be the next person who could make him fuck the audience!
The next day the team didn't have a game, so Tang Tian got up just after dawn, and he didn't even drive to the training hall, he just trotted all the way there.
I ran until my face was not red and my heart was not beating, and there was still a sense of indescribable comfort.
After arriving, he didn't directly start the daily training, but directly started the "suicide" training.
This training was played by them in the NCAA Cajon.
His limit at the time was 13.
After arriving in the NBA, he exchanged for Mask Man, and this data was raised to 15 groups.
Now that there is a legend, he really wants to know how far his limit will go.
