The invincible kryptonite of basketball

This media is not big, but it is quite influential in New Orleans.

After the report came out, it also attracted heated discussions among fans on social media.

The report was well-founded, especially the fact that Tang Tian could get more shares, which made many people believe it.

Even the country is applauded.

The more shares Tang Tian can get after retiring, the more likely he is to become the owner of the NBA.

Then it is really a step closer to the Chinese NBA.

When Karl told Tang Tian the news, Tang Tian couldn't help shaking his head.

It seems that after Renee failed in the power struggle, she wanted to treat him as a straw and make a last-ditch effort.

Unfortunately, she found the wrong person.

Just as he was thinking this, his cell phone rang again, and it was Gail Benson calling.

Gail didn't know whether the report was true or not. She called and promised to increase the proportion of shares that Tang Tian would buy in the future.

She promised to increase that figure to as much as 15%, which is more than the New Orleans Daily reported.

Tang Tian was a little dumbfounded for a while.

The snipe and the clam are fighting, has he become a fisherman?

However, he had absolutely no reason not to take such a sudden profit.

This is the real double happiness.

The Pelicans have only the last 5 games left, and they have not stopped their winning streak.

Against the Nets, Tang Tian had a truce, and Davis got what he wanted inside, scoring a season-high 42 points and 15 rebounds. The Pelicans took the opponent lightly and won the 76th season;

Facing the Pacers, Tang Tian and Butler raised their exemption cards. The two teams fought fiercely, and it was not until the last 2 minutes that the winner was decided.

Walker scored 7 points in a row to kill the game at the last moment, winning the 77th season;

Against the Celtics, only Walker played among the four hard-working brothers. Walker scored 39 points. The Pelicans took the opponent lightly and won their 78th win of the season.

After the game, Angie looked at Walker with a hint of sadness in his eyes;

Against the Clippers, the four hard-working brothers all got free cards. Rose and Siakam performed well. The two scored 58 points to defeat their opponents and won the 79th season;

The further the game was played, the fewer the main force of the Pelicans, and in the end they all became full substitutes.

But the momentum of the Pelicans winning streak has not stopped.

Although under Xiao Hua's instruction, these teams played very hard, but their own strength was too weak, and their efforts did not work.

At this time, the season has come to the real end, and the Pelicans still have the last game of the season.

If they can win this game, they will raise the NBA regular season record to the unprecedented dimension of 80 wins.

And considering their opponents, they have a very good chance of completing this record.

Their final opponent was the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The first thousand and 120 eight chapters Ross is going to explode! (build)

The Timberwolves have already missed the playoffs.

However, they were in good shape at the end of the season, having won a wave of seven consecutive victories in the past.

This game is also their season finale, and it is still a home game.

For them, winning is also the best result.

At this point in time, the regular season games are no longer attracting so much attention.

But because of these factors, the attention this game has received is unprecedented.

Before the game, fans were discussing whether the Pelicans would send the four hard-working brothers to the field in this game to secure their 80th victory.

But really waited until the interview on the day of the game, and Stevens gave an answer when asked this question.

"None of them will come."

Stevens has gone through a season and has completely wavered.

This answer disappointed some fans, but more fans paid more attention to the game.

If all four brothers play hard, the Timberwolves have no chance of winning.

It has nothing to do with how many consecutive victories you have won or how you are doing recently.

On the contrary, if the four brothers do not play hard, then the Timberwolves have a chance of winning, and considering their recent state, the chance of winning is not small.

And once they win, they will prevent the Pelicans from reaching 80 wins.

Although it is only a difference of one victory, if you can't get up to 80, just like the full score of 100 and 99 points, the difference is very big.

On the evening of April 4, the season-ending match between the Pelicans and the Timberwolves officially kicked off.

Minnesota in April was much warmer than the last match, and the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene became more and more fanatical.

The Target Center was packed.

In addition to fans who supported the Timberwolves, there were also many Pelicans fans, and even some Rose fans.

Rose played better and better with the Pelicans. He scored a season-high 22 points in the last game, and his fans have become active again.

The league's new vice president, Rhine Sock, also came to the scene.

As Stevens said before the game, the four hard-working Pelicans brothers were all sitting on the sidelines in suits and leather shoes, and they were determined not to play.

The scene quickly entered the entrance ceremony, and the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.

The main players of the Timberwolves are all out, Rubio and LaVine on the outside, Wiggins and Towns on the front, and Dieng at the center.

For the Pelicans, Rose and Lamb on the outside, Bojan and Siakam on the front, and Dedmon on the center.

Dedmon turned the ball back to the Pelicans half, officially kicking off the game.

Rose advanced to the frontcourt, and the Pelicans played positional tactics.

Lamb and Bo Yang used the pick-and-roll to run off the ball for three-pointers, and Siakam cut to the basket after the pick-and-roll.

Rose's pass was very timely, and he hit the ground to Siakam at the first time, and the latter caught the ball and scored with a one-handed dunk.

The Pelicans' bench was boiling, and Bryant's towel was thrown up.

Although the four main players did not play, they dunked at the beginning, and the Pelicans were full of momentum.

The Pelicans took the lead, and the Timberwolves also came from behind.

Wiggins hit Bo Yang with his back in the frontcourt, and scored after turning around continuously.

The Timberwolves have won seven consecutive victories in the past. Although it has something to do with the strength of their opponents, their own state is indeed good.

The Pelicans were playing positions in the frontcourt, Thibodeau was directing from the sidelines, and the Timberwolves destroyed several consecutive waves of the Pelicans' offense.

Thibodeau is a well-known defensive coach. After being beaten once by the Pelicans, he quickly made the best defensive response.

Of course, the Pelicans have their own problems.

The four brothers did not play hard, and this lineup did not have a strong enough advantage in one-on-one matchups.

Originally, Siakam was the best candidate, but until now, his shooting is not stable and he has been targeted by opponents. It is much more difficult to score than at the beginning of the season.

Bo Yang finally missed a three-pointer against the defense, and the Pelicans' wave of offense returned without success.

Towns received the rebound and the Timberwolves played a defensive counterattack.

Rubio made a long pass from the backcourt to LaVine, and LaVine made a fast-break gliding dunk and also got Siakam's opening dunk.

Cheers erupted at the target center.

The Pelicans' frontcourt tactics ran out of opportunities, but Lamb couldn't make the shot.

Gion protected the defensive rebound, the Timberwolves played in turn, and Towns also made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

7 is better than 2!

The Timberwolves gave the Pelicans a blow at the beginning.

There were constant cheers at the scene.

They saw the hope of winning tonight!

And that hope is growing.

The first quarter played for about 5 minutes, and the score on the field was 15 to 6!

The Timberwolves have extended the score to 9 points!

One more goal and the point difference will go straight to double digits!

Stevens reached out and called a timeout.

The scene cheered again, and there were bursts of whistles.

Sock's expression was also very relaxed.

Stevens blindly pushes big, even with one or two hard-working brothers, the Pelicans have a great chance of winning.

But now, losing this 80th win, looking back is really stupid.

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans did not make any substitutions.

It seems that Stevens just made some tactical changes.

This change was also quickly manifested.

After Rose dribbled to the frontcourt, the Pelicans didn't run positional tactics.

Lamb, Bojan, Dedmon, two bottom corners and one arc top to open up space, Rose holds the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Siakam puts up the pick-and-roll.

This tactic is very simple. Rose used the pick-and-roll dislocation to face Downs and accelerated the breakthrough.

The Timberwolves did not assist in defense, and Towns' ability to defend against small players ranks among the best among big men.

It's just to guard against a Rose who is about to be eliminated by the league.

Towns did defend well, and Rose's layup was forced to become a backhand layup, which doubled the difficulty.

The ball spun around the wiper and fell into the net pocket.

Rose scored with a backhand layup!

This ball perfectly shows Rose's recent excellent state.

This goal is very important.

The defensive momentum of the Pelicans also rose. Siakam defended Towns' low-post attack, and Dedmon struggled to protect the defensive rebound.

Back to the positional battle, the same tactics are still used. The Timberwolves still switch, and then dislocate and defend alone.

Rose has a rhythm change this time, accelerating the emergency stop throwing of the false breakthrough.

This was his signature scoring method in his prime.

Towns retreated a bit, and then reached out to block the rhythm and failed to keep up.

"Shh!"

This time it is directly into the net!

Rose was in a brave state, scoring 4 points in a row, and helped the Pelicans chase 4 points in a row!

Wiggins continued to show his excellent form in the singles with the ball in the frontcourt, turning around and scoring the ball with a fadeaway jumper.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, and this 2 points was a great scene.

Looking back, Rose is still playing singles with the ball!

Stevens' tactical adjustments during the timeout are also clear by this time.

Any tactic relies on strong points. If you don't attack strong points, no matter how subtle your tactics are, they won't be effective.

This has been proven many times by history. The Rockets' Princeton, the Knicks' triangle tactics, the Warriors' bombardment tactics, etc. are all examples of failures.
