New York headquarters.
Seeing this expression slightly reddened, Xiao Hua was a little excited.
This is the first time he has seen the Pelicans deflated since the start of the playoffs.
Tang Tian's offensive desire was low because of Fagan's death, and the Blazers were in a brave state.
Let's not talk about whether the Pelicans can finally win the championship, as long as the Pelicans can break the possibility of winning the playoffs 16-0, then he can explain it!
He immediately called Sock and asked him to communicate with the referee.
"How is your condition, Don?"
When the festival was suspended, Stevens declined the reporter's interview, and pulled Tang Tian aside to chat alone.
"no problem."
Tang Tian nodded calmly.
After the first quarter, it can basically be seen that the Trail Blazers are in good condition.
This is also a reasonable thing to do.
They just played a tiebreaker with the Rockets and won. Both their state and morale are at their peak.
Even if he fires in the first quarter, at most he can tie the score or lead by a few points.
"Then you are going to fight more later."
Stevens continued.
Tang Tian continued to nod.
Just like playing Tai Chi to relieve energy, the Trail Blazers worked hard in the first quarter, but their strength will definitely weaken in the second quarter.
At this time, if he makes another move, the situation will be different.
This is why he didn't take the initiative to ask Stevens for the right to shoot in the first quarter.
Back in the second quarter, the field is full of main players and substitutes.
The Trail Blazers are led by McCollum and Anthony, and the Pelicans are led by Davis.
That is to say, the situation on the field suddenly changed unexpectedly.
Rose continued his excellent form, shooting from inside and outside, and led the team with Davis to play a 10-2 offensive, directly overtaking the score.
Rose has been in good form since his comeback, and he scored 52 points in a single game in the final game of the regular season.
Plus Brogdon, Bojan, Siakam, Harrell, and Lamb after returning from injury.
The Pelicans can play too many substitutes, and Stevens can rotate with 10 or even 11 people if he wants to.
Stotts was forced to call a timeout.
The Trail Blazers' starting strength is outstanding, but the strength of the bench is much worse.
After Harkless and Meyers Leonard were traded, only Turner was left in a game of this intensity.
Zach Collins is talented, but he is too immature as a rookie, and the replacement Ed Davis has limited strength.
The situation of Napier and Pat Connaughton on the outside is similar, with limited room to play under this level of confrontation.
After returning from the timeout, Stotts replaced both Lillard and Nurkic back in advance.
Playing against the Pelicans, physical fitness is no longer something he should worry about. He knows that if he doesn't hold back, he will be directly beaten by the Pelicans.
The effect of this substitution was very good. Lillard came up to assist Turner to score a goal, and he made another difficult three-pointer.
A wave of 5-0 attacks came back, and the score on the field became 43-41, and the Trail Blazers took the lead again.
"beep!"
Lillard is doing the iconic watch action, and a short whistle sounds on the field.
Tang Tian and Butler came on, replacing Rose and Siakam.
Stevens also made the main force ahead of schedule.
The two sides entered the decisive battle ahead of time.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Brogdon gave the ball to Tang Tian after holding the ball for half court, and then signaled others to pull away.
Brogdon, Butler, Bojan, Davis.
With this lineup configuration, coupled with this tactical gesture, the Pelicans fans on the scene immediately knew what they were going to do.
Tactic No. 1, Tang Tian's singles tactic!
After realizing this, before Tang Tian started to fight, there was already a burst of cheers at the scene.
After holding back for a while, Tang Tian was finally about to fire!
Stotts also walked from the bench to the sidelines, reaching out to signal the team's defensive position.
Tang Tian glanced at Turner, took a big butterfly step, and then walked right past him with a step to the right.
And after passing by, he accelerated again, and he was like a sports car with full throttle, rushing straight into the inner lane.
The Trail Blazers players turned their heads and saw Yiliuyan flashing past their eyes.
"Oh!"
With a single-handed tomahawk dunk, Tang Tian slammed the ball into the basket.
The cheers erupted in an instant.
Tang Tian let out a long breath after dunking.
He took a breath just now and raised his speed to the fastest, without giving the Blazers defensive reaction time at all.
The Trail Blazers are in full swing now, and the first thing to do to suppress them is to suppress their momentum.
So from the beginning, he output with all his strength.
Lillard broke through to face Brogdon's reverse basket and scored for the Trail Blazers.
He was really wearing a watch tonight, the kind that couldn't be easily taken off.
The Trail Blazers still maintain the lead.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made tactical gesture No. 1 with his hand.
This is the next fight!
Turner directly chose to press close to him. He knew he couldn't defend against Tang Tian, so he chose a gambling defense.
Tang Tian didn't dribble the ball when he saw it, he just squeezed through on the right, and accelerated after he squeezed, Turner didn't even think about fouling.
"Shrink! Shrink!"
Stotts yelled from the sidelines.
Tang Tian's speed was too fast.
He shouted in time, but the rest of the Pelicans opened up space, and the Trail Blazers had no time to shrink.
Only Aminu was barely in place.
After Tang Tian saw it, he didn't force it, but suddenly threw the ball into the sky.
Just when Aminu thought there was an empty pick behind him.
"boom!"
The ball went straight to the backboard.
Before Aminu could look back, the ball bounced off the backboard.
Fans cheered at the scene.
Because Tang Tian had passed Aminu's side and flew straight into the air.
When the ball rebounded, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it directly.
"Oh!"
The ball was smashed hard into the basket.
The moment the ball was smashed in, the cheers on the scene exploded.
Hit the board and dunk!
McGrady's signature dunk.
Tang Tian used it brilliantly before, but since the slam dunk contest, his dunking feeling is completely different from before.
It used to be violence, but now besides violence, there is elegance!
Of course, more importantly, Tang Tian contributed two dunks in the second quarter, and the momentum of the Pelicans immediately overwhelmed the opposing Blazers.
"Defense! Defense!"
The emotions of the fans were also mobilized, and there were layers of cheers on the scene.
Amidst the cheers, Butler assisted in double-teaming and directly cut off Lillard.
The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian received the ball from the midfielder and threw off the defender. There was no defense in the frontcourt.
He soared into the air with one step inside the free throw line.
One lap, two laps.
The magic of love goes round and round.
"Oh!"
He directly staged a 720° dunk!
"Fxck!"
Barkley jumped up directly from the commentary booth.
Tang Tian dunked this dunk contest before, but this is actual combat, the playoffs!
All the fans at the scene blushed and immediately climaxed on the spot.
This show, the spiral exploded on the spot!
"Damn! Damn! Rhine!"
At the New York headquarters, Xiao Hua almost had a heart attack when he saw the dunk.
He yelled at Sock, why didn't the referee come online!
"That... the referee has to help, it may have to wait until the second half."
Suoke knew that Xiao Hua was angry, but he still bit the bullet and told the truth.
Now that there is a game over there, it is impossible for them to talk to the referee during the game!
Xiao Hua almost didn't come up when he heard this tone.
This is really pissed off.
The first thousand and 140 chapters of the worst NBA president in history (4/5!)
Tang Tian made three consecutive dunks, and in the end he even showed 720, which directly stunned the Blazers.
They were in a hot state, but they didn't score a single point in the next 3 minutes.
The atmosphere in the New Orleans arena was even hotter to the point of explosion.
This is the momentum.
The same 6-pointer, various dunks or difficult goals will hit the opponent's defensive mentality.
The defense collapses, and the offense suffers too.
Moreover, these were only three offenses after Tang Tian came back from the second quarter.
He struck while the iron was hot, and the Trail Blazers, who broke through and shot, had to shrink their defense in advance.
