The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Some people recover from injuries and tolerate pain differently than others.

Even the NBA has them, such as Iverson in the past and Butler now.

Of course, there are also those who rely on strong mental strength, such as Kobe.

Tang Tian now looks like a different kind of person.

With the permission of the team doctor, Stevens didn't say anything, and he took the time to rearrange his tactics.

Tang Tian's ability to play was a pleasant surprise for him, and he became more confident in winning the game against the Jazz.

That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Jazz kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

Because the rumors before the game said that Tang Tian would not play today, the attendance rate of the arena was only about [-]% to [-]%.

When Tang Tian appeared on the sidelines in his game uniform to warm up, there was a burst of excited shouts from the scene.

For the fans present, this is simply a big surprise!

For the Pelicans fans, Tang Tian's appearance was a surprise, but for the Jazz players, it was a bit of a shock.

Especially for head coach Snyder, he didn't expect the Pelicans to set off smoke bombs before a regular season game!

This means that all his previous tactical deployments were in vain!

But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the warm-up was no longer hot, so he directly pulled the players over to make new tactical deployments.

After the warm-up time was over, the scene entered the opening ceremony. As the fans saw, Tang Tian served as the team's starting shooting guard as usual.

When Tang Tian made his final appearance, the surprised fans cheered loudly.

Obviously only [-]% to [-]% of the attendance rate, but suddenly shouted the momentum of full attendance.

Before the match started, Tang Tian chatted with Dior who was on the opposite side.

Before the trade deadline, in order to reduce salary pressure, Diaw was traded to the Jazz by the Spurs.

Although it has been so many years since Tang Tian left the Spurs and Holt suffered from a heart attack, the Spurs' custom of not exceeding the salary cap is still upheld.

The game will start immediately, and the starting players of both sides will appear one after another.

The regular lineup for the Pelicans.

On the Jazz side, George Hill and Rodney Hood are on the outside, Hayward and Favors are on the front line, and Gobert is the center.

Gobert beat Davis and gave the Jazz the first chance to attack.

The core of the Jazz is Hayward, but he averaged just over 20 points per game. Five members of the team averaged double figures per game, and two other players averaged close to 10 points per game. This is a standard team team. .

They also reflected this at the beginning, a beautiful off-ball pick-and-roll plus sudden distribution, Hayward made a sudden assist and assisted Hill to hit a three-pointer from the outside.

The Jazz head start.

Snyder waved his arms passionately from the sidelines.

Although they are not well-known now, even though he ate a smoke bomb from the Pelicans before the game, the Jazz are by no means a weak team and are not afraid of any opponent.

ps: I have to go back today and tomorrow, there will be fewer updates, and I will resume updates when I come back.

Chapter 942 He suffered a fake injury!

And looking back, they also defended Davis' basket singles through their excellent defense rotation.

With one offense and one defense after the opening, the Jazz showed their strength.

The fans at the scene were also a little worried at this time.

It is rare for the Pelicans to not play Tang Tian in the opening game, which shows that injuries still have an impact on Tang Tian.

Although Tang Tian went into battle with an injury to boost morale, it was also a big surprise for the fans.

But if you can't perform normally, there is also the risk of increasing injuries. The team's approach is not worth the candle.

After all, this is just an ordinary regular season.

Just when the fans were thinking this way, Tang Tian successfully intercepted Hill's pass on the defensive end, and rushed out of the three-point line for a quick break!

His speed was very fast. Under the incredible eyes of the fans, he threw away Hayward and Hood one after another, flew to the basket and scored two points.

The speed of the fast break made the commentators on the scene stunned.

This... Are you sure it's a back spasm?

The Jazz's frontcourt tactical cooperation failed, and Hayward failed to score Ariza's goal in the final single.

The ball hit the front of the basket and popped out. Tang Tian turned around and caught Hood who was about to punch the board, and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The two had physical contact during the process of being locked in, and the fans at the scene were all sweating for Tang Tian.

However, they were also relieved to see Tang Tian turn around and push forward after taking the rebound.

The Pelicans' fast break didn't switch positions. Tang Tian didn't give the ball to Davis this time, but made a tactical gesture with the ball and hit it directly.

A signature strong sudden plus second pass, the ball is in the hands of Ariza in the bottom corner.

"Shh!"

Ariza felt good tonight, hitting the Pelicans' first three-pointer of the game.

5:2.

Although the Jazz took the lead, the Pelicans in turn played a wave of 5-0 and quickly took the initiative on the court.

And the person who made all this happen was Tang Tian, ​​the one who fought with wounds.

Even less than 2 minutes into the game, his technical statistics table has been filled.

2 points, 1 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 steals.

Just got a quadruple-double in the last game, is this the rhythm to follow?

But you are hurt!

The Jazz's frontcourt cooperation gave opportunities, but Hood failed to make the ball.

The new penalty scale has made the Jazz's defense tougher than before, and their average points per game are also among the top five in the league.

But the biggest problem with this team is scoring. Hayward barely made it to the All-Star team in the West, not to mention the scoring ability of others.

The Pelicans' frontcourt position was still Tang Tian. After breaking through the double-team, the ball was given to Davis. The latter's mid-range jumper also opened the scoring for the first time.

Favors' catch and layup in the frontcourt caused Davis' thugs, but unfortunately he missed two free throws.

Looking back, Tang Tian assisted Davis to score another goal.

The two teams played for about 5 minutes, and the score was 9-2. The Pelicans have completely suppressed the Jazz.

At this time, the scene gave Jazz coach Snyder a shot.

His face is extremely ugly, if he is holding a knife in his hand now, it feels like the kind that can hack people to death in minutes.

The Pelicans played like a championship after the start, but more importantly, Tang Tian didn't seem to be injured at all!

The Pelicans shook him hard!

Hayward scored two points with a breakthrough layup in the frontcourt, and he stepped forward at the critical moment.

But looking back, Tang Tian made a three-pointer from the outside and returned an answerball!

Snyder was helpless.

Although he reacted quickly enough, the Jazz's temporary tactical adjustments are definitely not as good as those carefully arranged.

He was completely fooled by the Pelicans.

The Jazz played in the frontcourt, and it was Tang Tian who intercepted Favors' return pass and threw it directly to Holiday from the backcourt.

Holiday scored another 2 points with a fast break layup.

14 to 4, less than half of the opening time, the Pelicans have achieved a double-digit lead.

Snyder stretched out his hand and called a timeout. He didn't need to lift a knife, his eyes could kill.

"Gordon, you beat Don hard."

Suspended tactical deployment, Snyder made a decision.

NBA team doctors are all professional, he doesn't believe that Tang Tian can play as well as usual with injuries.

And he also watched the last game between the Pelicans and the Rockets.

He felt that the Rockets' tactics were fine, but the problem was that they gave up the singles against Tang Tian after a few minutes of playing.

Now that the team is in a bad situation, he is also planning to resort to this tactic, and Tang Tian is injured, which will make his tactic more effective.

After the timeout, the Jazz's tactics changed. They didn't play tactical coordination anymore. Instead, after the two wings were stretched, Hayward directly let Hayward single-play Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was playing against Hood. In other words, this was a matchup he actively sought after the pick-and-roll.

The fans at the scene couldn't help booing.

In Tang Tian's defense, the opponents usually hide and fight, and the three best defensive players are not just a display.

In the last match, Harden made 11 of 2 shots after the matchup with Tang Tian.

Hayward, or Snyder is unbelievable!

However, some fans were worried about Tang Tian. After all, Tang Tian was fighting with injuries tonight. Although he had contributed consecutive steals before, they were all assisting defenses. It is still unknown how much strength this one-on-one defense can exert.

Hayward holds the ball, and after a tentative step, accelerates from the right to the basket.

Compared with Harden, Hayward's offensive skills with the ball are much worse, but he likes confrontation very much, which is why Snyder dared to do this.

Tang Tian's back was aching after being confronted continuously, and Snyder's style of taking advantage of others' dangers was a little bit out of the question.

"Snapped!"

However, when he got to the basket, Tang Tian still seized the opportunity to make a quick shot and successfully cut off the ball the moment Hayward took it off!

Another steal!

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Tang Tian threw the ball to Holiday.

Holiday turned into the cake king, and scored two more points in the frontcourt of the fast break!

Snyder's eyes widened in disbelief, Tang Tian actually defended Hayward, and even made a steal!

He didn't believe in evil, and stretched out his hand to signal the tactic to continue.

Hayward went to the frontcourt and continued to play singles with the ball.

This time he was a little more defensive, and after breaking into the free throw line, he chose an emergency stop jumper.

However, his shooting was a bit slow, and Tang Tian seized the opportunity to slap the ball at the moment of his release.

The basketball scramble went out of the sideline. Although the ball was not directly taken away this time, and the referee also indicated that it was a frontcourt ball, his offense was destroyed again!

After failing to make two consecutive attacks, he was a little depressed.

Tang Tian was also thankful that the Jazz only had Hayward at this time, otherwise it would be very difficult to defend against a player of Harden's level with his physical condition after playing with an injury.

After all, this passive skill only eliminates the effects of injuries, not directly makes the injuries disappear.

The Jazz sent out the sideline ball, and Hayward continued to single Tang Tian, ​​this time he chose to punch in hard with his back.

But Tang Tian sank his center of gravity and he couldn't stand it at all, and when he turned around and leaned back, it gave him tremendous pressure.

His shot after turning around... missed the frame.

Three do not stick!

The scene exploded instantly!Whistles and cheers one after another!

"Tang...is he really injured?"

Let alone Snyder at this time, after Tang Tian defended against Hayward three times in a row, even the on-site commentator couldn't help asking such questions.
