The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Curry and Thompson can form a splash. In addition to their personal abilities, their off-court relationship is also extremely close.

In the same way, the tense relationship between Green and Durant also caused mistakes in their cooperation.

Green didn't say anything, turned around and retreated to defend.

A flash of disdain flashed in Durant's eyes, and he was non-stick and made a pass error. Such a player actually wants to command him on and off the court.

Competitive sports, food is the original sin.

Back on the defensive end, Tang Tian faced Green and scored 2+1 after the pick-and-roll.

The fans at the scene couldn't bear to watch it.

The Warriors played a real piece of shit this quarter!

The conflict between Green and Durant was first revealed, and the Warriors' offensive efficiency dropped significantly compared to the first half.

But their bigger problem is that they can't defend against the Pelicans, or Tang Tian's offense.

Tang Tian scored 26 points in a single quarter, helping the Pelicans tie the score in one quarter.

In the last quarter, the Pelicans also played more and more smoothly.

The point difference was opened again, but this time it was the Pelicans who opened the score.

In the end, the Pelicans relied on their high-quality defense in the second half to score a disparity of 55 to 30, and in turn won the game 90 to 80.

After falling behind by up to 19 points, the Pelicans pulled themselves back from the cliff.

Tang scored 36 points in the first half and contributed 46 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the game. He was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

After the game, fans on social media went viral again.

"The Pelicans only scored 30 points in the first half and missed all kinds of goals. Facts have proved that Joe's boss is really poisonous, but! But Tang scored 36 points in the second half. Facts have proved that no matter how strong the poison is, it depends on the target." !"

"@jokicfans, do you still think Don doesn't deserve unanimous MVP?"

"Turning the tide with one's own strength, this is the strongest basketball performance! What about a four-star warrior! Even a five-star warrior can still overthrow you!"

"Five-stars, you think too much. That's an impossible lineup. The Warriors are already the strongest team on paper, but this proves one thing. Tang, like Michael, is the god of basketball."

"2 to 2, the next series will be even better. In Tianwangshan, the two sides will definitely try their best!"

"It's time for Pachulia to do it!"

"Twitter keyboard man, professional talk? The Warriors will win Tianwangshan, and Durant will explode!" A speech from a Jokic fan.

"??"

Chapter 988 The best rookie who averaged less than 10 points per game (the third update!)

Fans are discussing hotly on social media, and the next game of the Western Conference Finals is becoming more and more exciting.

After the Pelicans tie the score, the two sides will usher in the battle of Tianwangshan.

This is the first time that the Pelicans have been forced to Tianwangshan in the past two seasons, which also shows that the strength of the two teams is evenly matched.

And the more such a situation, the more people look forward to the next Tianwangshan.

For the Pelicans, the best news is that Tianwangshan will play in New Orleans, which allows them to relax.

Back in New Orleans, Tang Tian didn't see his son for five days, and his heart was very itchy.

As soon as he returned to the manor, he saw Yong Qi and Tang Si chasing each other on the grass.

The little lion watched quietly from a distance, drooping his ears, looking very leisurely.

Seeing Tang Tian came back, both sons ran towards him.

Although he didn't get along with them for a long time because of playing for a long time, but because of the frequent videos, his son is still very close to him.

Kiss, hug, hold high.

Tang Tian's treatment of his son can really be described as doting.

After playing with his son for a while, he beckoned Carl to bring over the new toys he bought from Oakland, and then asked the nanny to accompany them to play for a while.

Sitting on the wicker chair on the grass, drinking hot coffee, he enjoyed a rare leisure time.

"I watch social media."

Olsen held the back of Tang Tian's hand and said.

"What did they say?"

Tang Tian looked at Olson with a smile.

In order to concentrate on helping the team defend the title, he turned off social media after the start of this year's playoffs.

Occasionally, Olsen told him.

He performed well in the last game and won the game, and most of the social media also praised him.

Sure enough, Olson smiled and said what he had guessed.

"You have to watch out for Pachulia."

But at the end, Olson reminded Tang Tian on purpose.

Tang Tian nodded.

What Olsen said should have been discussed by fans on social media.

But this reminder is still very timely.

Tianwangshan is very important. The most intuitive thing is that according to historical statistics, the team that wins Tianwangshan has an 82% chance of advancing.

If you narrow it down to teams with home-court advantage, that number rises to over 90 percent.

In other words, after losing Game [-], if the Warriors want to win this series, the first thing they need to do is to do everything they can to win Tianwangshan.

In order to achieve this, there is still the possibility of some non-basketball means.

Especially the Warriors are a team with a criminal record.

Two days passed quickly.

Before the Warriors and Pelicans usher in Tianwangshan, the league has two other things to watch.

The first is the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks pulled two cities to tie the score, and they will also usher in the battle of Tianwangshan with the Cavaliers.

Their situation is the same as that of the Western Conference Finals.

Howard still played with injuries. Although they played away games, the Knicks still had high morale.

However, the Tianwangshan fight was much worse than expected.

James entered the state at the beginning of the game, scoring 18 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, unstoppable.

The Knicks have nothing to do with such a little emperor.

And James not only performed well on the offensive end, but also restricted Anthony to death on the defensive end.

In the end, under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers led the Knicks by as much as 20 points in three quarters, and finally defeated the Knicks 114 to 94 to win Tianwangshan.

After the game, the fans couldn't help but feel that James was stimulated by Tang Tian and played his value as the second player in the league.

This state also made them look forward to the possible second season of Pelican Wars.

When the time comes, James and Tang Tian will both have top-notch duels who can shoot, pass, rush, and have first-class physical strength. Coupled with the lineups of both sides, it will be exciting.

In addition to the Eastern Conference finals, another thing that attracts attention is the sixth batch of awards of the season.

There is only one award in this batch, the best rookie.

The honor of the best rookie is much weaker than the previous MVP, but it has attracted much attention this year.

The reason is that the No. 20 pick Ben Simmons only played more than [-] games due to injury and was unable to participate in the selection of the best rookie.

Second, the No. 10 pick Ingram performed poorly in Philadelphia, averaging less than [-] points per game this season.

Coupled with the average performance of other rookies, this makes the selection of the best rookie confusing.

To put it nicely, the competition is fierce, but to put it bluntly, it means that the generals are selected from among the short ones.

So far, the most popular rookies are Saric, Hilde and Brogdon.

Saric was a first-round pick in 2014. He landed in the NBA after playing overseas for two years. According to the rules, he will also be included in the selection of the best rookie.

This season, he served as Randall's substitute for the 76ers, averaging 12 points and 7 rebounds per game.

The data is eye-catching among the rookies, but what is lacking is his shooting percentage, 41% of two-pointers and 31% of three-pointers, which are not qualified for an insider.

Hilde averaged 12.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, the highest score among rookies except Simmons, and 42.6% of two-pointers and 39.1% of three-pointers were also eye-catching.

He's also the hottest candidate for Rookie of the Year.

Among the three, Brogdon is also the most unexpected candidate.

Both the 76ers and the Kings are weak teams, and rookies tend to produce statistics here, but Brogdon also performed quite well in the defending champion team, the Pelicans.

场均9.6分2.1板2.6助攻，47%的投篮命中率，加上41%的三分球命中率。

Although the data is average, but because of the exposure of the Pelicans, his mature and steady style is also liked by the media and fans.

When the final selection results came out, the vote rates of the three were 22%, 33%, and 40%.

Brogdon finally defeated Hilde and Saric and was successfully elected as the best rookie of the season!

He also broke a record because of this, becoming the only best rookie who averaged no more than 10 points per game since the establishment of the NBA!

The results of this selection came out, which attracted another wave of heated discussions on fans' social media.

"The strongest rookie is already in the formation!"

"Winning the championship, holding the strongest rookie, owning the present, and owning the future, I just want to ask, why can I be so happy as a Pelicans fan!"

"Brogdon's playing style is really rare among rookies. If he is in other weak teams, it is entirely possible to average 15+ per game! He is really strong!"

"No if, the best rookie who averaged less than 10 points per game? This year's NBA is too funny!" A comment from a Jokic fan.

"Although I like Brogdon very much, I think he is still far from the best rookie." A comment from a Brogdon fan.

"Brogdon played very well, but he really doesn't deserve the best rookie. I support Hilde in this wave." Comments from Boban fans.

Chapter 989 Best Rookie, Buyue Combination (Fourth update!)

Brogdon's selection has caused a lot of controversy.

Those who support him feel that his statistics in the Pelicans are more valuable, and his competitors are also weak. There is nothing wrong with this selection.

What opposes him is that he has been talking about statistics. After all, there has never been a best rookie with such a low scoring average in NBA history.

The two sides insisted on their own words and could not stop arguing.

Against this background, the battle between the Pelicans and the Warriors at Tianwangshan is about to start at the New Orleans Arena.

Before the game, the Pelicans conducted an open training.

Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after the training.

In addition to some questions related to the game, the reporter also asked Brogdon, who has been the most discussed recently.

"What do you think of teammate Brogdon being elected as the best rookie? Some people say that because of the relationship between Tatum and you, the league chose Brogdon."

"Do I have such a big face? Why don't I know."

After listening to the reporter's question, Tang Tian said with a smile.
