The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Although the ball didn't go in, the trajectory was very straight, and it looked like it was shot after regular practice.

He paid more attention to Tang Tian, ​​who added a weapon to his arsenal every season, which was very similar to Kobe.

Wouldn't this be a new weapon developed to be used tonight?

The first ultra-long three-pointer missed, Tang Tian didn't change much in his mood, and quickly retreated into the defensive position with his teammates.

The shooting rate of ultra-long three-pointers is definitely much lower than that of three-pointers.

It's definitely good luck to get in on the first try, and it's completely normal if you don't get in.

Back on the defensive end, Leonard was blocked by Siakam, and George's attack with the ball was directly blocked by Davis.

This block boosted morale, and the ball fell into Tang Tian's hands, and the Pelicans directly played a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian dribbled the ball by himself, went to the frontcourt to avoid Leonard's steal, and scored the ball after the confrontation, causing Leonard's defensive foul.

The Pelicans bench was boiling.

Not only because this is a 2+1, but also because Tang Tian was scored by Leonard's fast break before, and he scored back in a blink of an eye!

"Interesting, interesting."

Manu Ginobili watched from the sidelines with great joy.

Duncan nodded and didn't smile.

The fans behind them couldn't stop laughing.

Ginobili and Duncan, two of them going forward, are more interesting than listening to the commentator explain the game.

Tang Tian made an extra penalty and the two sides reached a 5-5 tie.

Although only a few rounds were played at the beginning, the offense and defense of the two teams after the opening were of quite high quality.

Compared with the last time they played against each other, the two teams are more evenly matched.

Five minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was tied at 5, and the two sides played inextricably.

Until now, fans on social media have not agreed with a point of view.

Although Walker and Butler have left the team one after another, the Pelicans are still in the same team as the Spurs and Lakers.

"Defense! Defense!"

Driven by the DJ, the fans cheered for the home team in unison.

The situation is anxious, and this kind of shouting will help the team a lot.

This really worked. The Spurs assisted in the rotation to achieve the ultimate, airtight, and the Pelicans failed to succeed in several consecutive waves of offense.

The ball was in Tang Tian's hands in the end, but George switched to Tang Tian at this time, and Leonard also assisted in defense at any time.

This pair of flanks with the strongest defense really caused Tang Tian a lot of trouble.

There was not much time left in the attack, Tang Tian stretched out his hand to signal Brogdon to pick and roll for himself.

This scene seemed to be similar, Tang Tian dribbled the ball to widen the distance, creating a lot of shooting space for himself.

However, like last time, his release point was too far, one meter away from the three-point line.

This position is out of his range.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Tang Tian shot again.

The ball spun towards the basket, just like last time, and the trajectory was also very positive.

"Shh!"

A crisp sound.

The basketball shot through the net like a shooting star.

Tang Tian's second ultra-long three-point attempt, scored!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Popovich thumped even more.

He really guessed right...

Once was an accident, and twice must have been intentional.

Tang Tian developed a super long three-pointer in the past summer!

As for why it was only used tonight?

Who knows!

The fans at the scene are now full of this voice in their heads.

The bench of the Pelicans cheered, and Alexander and the others cheered the most.

They have practiced together with Tang Tian for more than a month, they know that this is what Tang Tian practiced!

Tang Tian made a super long shot, and the passive skill "Primary School Carnival" was triggered immediately**** Nader's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt was blocked by Green, and then Siakam directly took it!

Popovich cursed from the sidelines.

With this offense and defense, the Pelicans are clearly on the rise.

But his rants didn't work.

The Pelicans played a 1-6 offensive in just 0 minute, instantly opening the score and forcing the Spurs to call a timeout.

The Spurs players could not escape the baptism of Popovich's saliva.

What he said in his previous speech was coquettish but it was also true. Now he is really grumpy.

In the stands, Ginobili and Duncan looked at each other.

"I remember the last time your jersey was retired, the Pelicans played against the Spurs, and the Spurs lost?"

Ginobili asked uncertainly.

Duncan thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he has retired for more than a year, he still remembers this important moment clearly.

"Damn it, Tang, he's messing things up again!"

After Ginobili came to his senses, he laughed and cursed.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Duncan was bewildered and nodded accordingly.

Tang Tian had "broken" his jersey retirement ceremony before, and now he's about to ruin Ginobili's.

To these old friends like them, Tang Tian is really merciless!

After the timeout, the Spurs played positions and pressed the rhythm, and the rhythm of the game on the field slowed down significantly.

But such a stalemate is okay, and it is difficult to recover the disadvantage.

Especially when the strength of the two teams is between equals.

The stalemate continued until the end of the festival.

During the transition from the bench, Kuzma, who performed well this season, made consecutive long-range shots, helping the Pelicans expand their lead to double digits.

At this time, the common weakness of the Lakers and Spurs was revealed.

Although they all formed the lineup of the quasi-Big Three, the instinct of role players has weakened because of the large salary space they occupy.

Leonard was injured last season and the Spurs were able to make the playoffs, which has nothing to do with the performance of Green, Gasol, and Mills.

Now that they have all left the team, the Spurs can only rely more on signing back De Colo, Belinelli, and players such as Cunningham and Ponteside.

After halftime, the score on the court was 52 to 42, and the Pelicans maintained a double-digit lead into the second half.

The performance of the two teams in the first half was evenly matched. Tang Tian's ultra-long distance and Kuzma's performance became the main reasons for the change in the situation.

Playing at this pace, the Pelicans have a great chance of winning the game tonight.

But Popovich is clearly not one to sit still.

In the second half, he made adjustments to the team's starting lineup, removing Forbes and putting Cunningham in the starting lineup.

After such an adjustment, George and Leonard changed from the third and fourth positions at the beginning to the second and third positions.

Cunningham is a rare 3D insider in the league. Although his skills are a bit poor, he is doing pretty well in both 3 and D.

Especially as a mobile insider, his ability to assist defense and make up defense can meet the defensive requirements of the Spurs.

Of course, the most important thing is that after such a lineup adjustment, the Spurs' pressure on the outside line has become significantly stronger.

It was very difficult for Tang Tian to get such an easy long-range three-pointer in the first quarter.

After all, this technology was neither developed by Tang Tian nor carried forward by him.

How the Spurs defended against Curry when they played against the Warriors can be used to defend Tang Tian now.

Tang Tian tried two ultra-long three-pointers again in this quarter, but he failed to hit them all.

4 attempts and only 1 goal.

Although he practiced hard for a month, the completion of Rome was not achieved in a day, and he still needs to adapt slowly through actual combat.

The Spurs were like grinding tofu in this quarter, slowly grinding the point difference back bit by bit.

At the end of the three quarters, they tied the score at 76.

Give Popovich a GDP, and he can bring back 5 NBA championships to San Antonio.

Give him George and Leonard, and he'll get the team back into the title favourites in no time.

Just like the 101 rock-knocking theory in the Spurs locker room, with Popovich, the tenacity of this team is really beyond imagination.

In the opening stage of the last quarter, Forbes became the surprise soldier of the Spurs.

The old Pelicans showed a fiery outside touch, hit consecutive three-pointers, and scored with Siakam Biao.

79 flats.

83 flats.

87 flats.

……

The scores of the two teams rose alternately until 1 minute before the end of the game.

At the critical moment, Leonard showed his superstar strength. He changed his direction to break through Green, and scored two key points against Siakam's defense.

In the last 40 seconds, the Spurs led 103 to 101.

These two points are priceless!

Stevens called a timeout, the last for the Pelicans.

"Let's play a No. 1 tactic, Don, you score the two-pointer as quickly as possible, and then we retreat quickly, and we want to grab the last chance to attack."

The tactical thinking of Stevens when he paused was very clear.

In 40 seconds, if the Pelicans press and play, both sides still have an offensive opportunity.

But if the Pelicans grab this offense, they have a chance to grab two offensive opportunities.

That is also the best situation for them.

Taking a step back, even if Tang Tian didn't score, as long as they defended against the Spurs' final attack, they still had the final chance to kill.

After the timeout, the Pelicans made substitutions and adjustments. Siakam came on to replace Harrell. This was to create scoring opportunities for Tang Tian just like the opening game.

Brogdon dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt quickly, and after giving the ball to Tang Tian, ​​he went directly to block George.

The Pelicans followed one another, giving Tang Tianka a complete chance to attack.

When Tang Tian finally took the ball to kill, he had a one-on-one chance with Leonard.

It's a funny scene.
