The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After receiving the ball, Alexander stepped inside the free throw line and directly faced Gallinari's throw.

The moment he made the shot, he once again felt a different feeling from the usual game, and the shot was obviously more stable.

"Shh!"

His feeling was also fulfilled, and the ball went hollow into the net again!

Not only did he break the Pelicans' scoring drought in this quarter, he also scored 4 points in a row!

The Pelicans' bench is once again seething.

This time Parker got up and applauded his disciple, his eyes were full of smiles.

He knew that Alexander was a talented person!

And the toss just now was seven or eight times as good as him!

Tang Tian didn't get up, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, hiding his achievements and fame.

From Davis to Alexander, practice has proved that the effect of touching the head is better than expected.

From now on, no one can stop him from wanting to touch the heads of his teammates.

Gallinari's low post was defended by Siakam.

Looking back, it was Alexander who broke through to the basket and forced the Clippers to shrink their defense. After that, a point was given to Kuzma in the bottom corner.

The ball was scored very steadily, and when Kuzma received it, it was a completely open opportunity.

Kuzma also took the first shot after receiving the ball.

At the moment of the shot, he also felt a different feeling than usual.

Last summer, he switched from power forward to small forward and also improved his shooting speed.

It's okay for him to feel hot at the beginning of the season, but after the season deepened, his shooting stability declined and his performance also declined.

It is not so easy to change positions in the NBA.

But for the ball just now, he felt more confident when he took the shot than at the beginning of the season.

After throwing out, he had a premonition that this kind of ability could enter!

"Shh!"

His feelings proved right, too.

The basketball hit the net hollow, and Kuzma made a steady three-pointer!

The sidelines fell into restlessness again.

The Clippers played the Pelicans 5-0 in the second quarter, but the Pelicans turned around and immediately fought back 7-0!

Instead of being narrowed, the point difference was widened to 16 points!

Rivers reached out and rubbed his forehead, feeling his head was a little big.

At the critical moment, Williams stood up again, forced Harrell's defensive foul by rushing to the basket, and got two opportunities for additional penalties.

He made two free throws, helping the Clippers stabilize the situation.

Rivers also temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the points did not catch up, but they can hold the situation, the Clippers are not without opportunities.

But immediately, Alexander and Kuzma played together again, this time it was a direct pick-and-roll between the two.

After Alexander broke through, he returned the ball directly to Kuzma at the top of the arc.

This ball Williams' defense was changed quickly, and he threw it in front of Kuzma, without giving him the big open opportunity he had before.

However, Kuzma exploded with confidence, and after receiving the ball, he shot directly at Williams.

Williams reached out to interfere, but his height is limited, and Kuzma is a jumper, so the interference from this ball is also very limited.

Kuzma shot confidently, and the basketball whirled in the air across a long parabola.

"Shh!"

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Kuzma made a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and then scored!

He slapped Williams in the face!

He hit two three-pointers in a row!

Kuzma was very excited after scoring a goal, and raised his hand while making a 3 gesture while stepping back.

There were many girl fans shouting from the sidelines.

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Kuzma can also be regarded as a prodigal son in love, and he doesn't know whether he is helping him or hurting him.

Rivers reached out and called a timeout.

Kuzma made these two three-pointers, and the point difference on the field was 20 points!

The game is already on the verge of collapse.

After the timeout, both sides replaced the substitutes one after another.

The Clippers failed to withstand the impact of the Pelicans in the first quarter, and the same after the main players returned in this quarter.

The Pelicans are in a state of blood tonight.

At the end of halftime, they have opened the point difference to 25 points!

Although Butler led the team to launch a counterattack in the third quarter, the Pelicans played steadily and finally defeated the Clippers 124 to 103.

Tang Tian only played three quarters and scored a game-high 33 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

Davis recovered and scored 17 points and 9 rebounds in three quarters.

Alexander scored 13 points and 5 assists, and Kuzma made 3 three-pointers and contributed 12 points.

The Pelicans team was fully fired, and 7 players scored in double figures.

After the game, Rivers looked at the scoreboard for a while.

The team's defense this season ranks among the best in the league. How did this become a piece of paper in front of the Pelicans tonight?

Thinking of the 58 tragedy for so many years, he is the one who has experienced the most. Could it be that he and Tang Tian are incompatible?

Taking the Clippers lightly is undoubtedly a huge victory for the Pelicans.

It's not just that they defeated their potential opponents in the playoffs, and it's not just that they ushered in a wave of 7 consecutive victories after winning the game.

Most importantly, Davis has regained his form, Alexander and Kuzma have found their confidence!

Good performance can drive players to play, this has been proved countless times.

So in other words, Tang Tian's touch on the head brought not only the 10% stability bonus, but also invisible confidence.

After the Pelicans won the Clippers, their next game was to play away against the Warriors.

After flying to Oakland the day before the game, the Pelicans went to basic practice the next day.

During the training session, Tang Tian walked straight towards Kuzma again.

The accumulation of self-confidence must be continuous to be effective.

In other words, for Kuzma's good, he has to keep touching the opponent's head.

Seeing Tang Tian walking towards him again, Kuzma instinctively wanted to walk away.

"Kyle."

But Tang Tian stopped calling him.

"The performance in the last game was good, and we will continue to work hard tonight."

Tang Tian touched his head again while speaking.

Kuzma is suffering.

But for his great career of picking up girls, he still bite the bullet and opened his mouth.

"Boss, can you...don't touch my head next time?"

Tang Tian was taken aback when he heard Kuzma's words.

"Ahem...I'm doing it for your own good."

Tang Tian told the truth.

"..."

Kuzma looked at Tang Tian with a "do you think I look like a fool" expression.

"Didn't you notice that I touched your head, and your performance will be fine?"

Tang Tian continued.

Kuzma shook his head.

Only ghosts will believe your words!

Seeing Kuzma's expression, Tang Tian felt a little helpless.

Hey, sure enough, in this world, there is no basic trust between people.

The first thousand 230 nine chapters don't touch me... It smells so good! (2/4! Ask for a monthly pass!) (repair)

But his head was touched, and he didn't say anything more.

That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors started.

Curry and Thompson felt hot at the start, firing consecutive shots from outside the three-point line.

The Splash Brothers faced Tang Ritian, and the two teams played inextricably in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the two teams tied at 40.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams were the main players with substitutes.

Kuzma also got a chance to play at this stage.

He came up and followed for two rounds before getting his chance.

He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then used the three-pointer to divert Iguodala, went inside and scored 2+1.

His self-confidence has been strengthened in the last game, and when he scored the 2+1, he can feel that his whole spirit on the court is different.

Tang Tian's previous judgment was indeed correct.

Such things as self-confidence are like exponent functions in mathematics, double, quadruple, eight times... the increase is amazing.

Not only Kuzma, but Alexander, who was caressed by Tang Tian again, also continued his previous outstanding performance.

The two substitutes performed bravely, and the Pelicans successfully opened the point difference to double digits in this transition period from the bench.

Although the transition from the bench passed, Curry and Thompson continued to be hot after returning.

But the Pelicans kept that lead until halftime.

In the third quarter, Thompson went berserk and faced Tang Tian. The point difference between the two teams fluctuated around 10 points.

However, this stalemate was broken by the transition period of the third and fourth quarters.

Kuzma and Alexander joined hands to play a wave of attacks and successfully opened the point difference to about 15 points.

The tone of the game was basically set.

Tang Tian played steadily at the last moment and helped the Pelicans win the game 126-113.

Tang Tian contributed a large triple-double of 40 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, continuing to expand the record of 40+ triple-doubles in a single season.

Kuzma had 17 points and 5 rebounds, and Alexander had 11 points and 5 assists. The two played well for the second consecutive game.

After the game, the players returned to the locker room to take a shower.

Because of his outstanding performance, Kuzma was arranged by Stevens to attend the post-match press conference with Tang Tian.
