Chapter 1110 Even Though Defeated, It’s Still Glorious (2/4! Please Vote for Me!)
Chapter 1110 Even though defeated, it’s still glorious (24! Please vote for me!)
This ball is a completely spiritual throw. If it doesn't go in, it all depends on God's will.
But at least Tang Tian grabbed such an opportunity when he was defending the last attack.
It's quite a distance, but the trajectory of the ball seems to be pretty straight.
Everyone on the scene held their breath.
If they were killed like this, it would be painful for them to breathe.
The ball, in the end, missed the frame.
Tang Tian grinned when he saw this.
This distance is completely outside his range.
In his attribute panel, the super long three-pointer is still 0.
He usually doesn't take the time to train specifically for this.
If all of these can get in, it can only be said that a blind cat met a dead mouse and got in.
But obviously the probability of this happening is too low.
There is no harm without comparison.
Think again that Lillard scored two super long three-pointers tonight.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t envious at all!
It seems that the gold goal for next season has to be firmly set.
The fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were tied by Tang Tian's three-pointer, they at least had a chance in overtime.
And there's good news, Lillard's previous score was fixed at 49 points.
With a chance of 5 minutes of overtime, he still hopes to get his first career 50+ points in the playoffs.
But at this time, the fans on the hotline were already climaxing.
You know, although they didn't win, the Trail Blazers forced the Pelicans into overtime!
This is something that the Cavaliers, Mavericks, Warriors, and Rockets have never done!
It seems that after defeating the Pelicans in the regular season and leading at halftime, this Trail Blazers team is really underestimated!
If you really count, Tang Tian missed more than one game, and even the four brothers who had been practicing hard missed more than 30 games in total.
But in the end, only the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks won one game.
All I can say is that everything that seems to be luck has its basis in strength.
The Trail Blazers were able to eliminate the Rockets and reach the Western Conference semifinals. As Lillard himself said, it depends on more than just luck.
After a short break, players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
Both sides have full starting lineups.
However, on the Trail Blazers side, Nurkic and McCrum, one is mainly defending Tang Tian and the other is assisting defense. Both of them have committed five fouls, so there is a lot of hidden dangers.
Davis beat Nurkic to give the Pelicans the first chance in overtime.
Tang Tian returned the ball in the frontcourt and broke through. McCrum did not dare to make another move. The Trail Blazers contracted the double team in advance.
Tang Tian made a blind pass to Walker on the weak side, who took the ball and shot a three-pointer.
"Uh-huh!"
A three-pointer went through the net.
Walker didn't score much in this game, but his shooting percentage was not low.
Looking back, Lillard wanted to return a three-pointer, but Tang Tian forced him far outside. He took a step back and shot a super long three-pointer.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the hoop.
Looking at the NBA, Curry can be used as a conventional weapon for things like super long three-pointers, and the overall shooting rate is not very high.
Dedmon protected the defensive rebound.
Tang Tian made another breakthrough in the frontcourt. This time he saw Butler cutting from the weak side and hitting the ground while traveling.
Butler caught the ball and scored.
The Pelicans launched a 5-0 offensive in overtime and immediately took the initiative on the court.
This is the consequence of double-teaming Tang Tian from the Pelicans. The other three hard-working brothers on the Pelicans are all quasi-super giants.
Lillard was double-teamed by Tang Tian, and McCrum hit Walker, but was interfered by Davis who was assisting in defense.
The Pelicans counterattacked directly, and Tang Tian received a pass from Walker and directly smashed the ball into the basket through McCrum.
7 to 0.
The Trail Blazers held their breath, and Lillard turned into a mechanical Lillard, playing the entire game with the Pelicans.
But in overtime, the offense couldn't catch up and the game collapsed.
It took 4 minutes of overtime before the Trail Blazers scored a goal through Lillard's difficult breakthrough.
But there is no suspense about victory or defeat.
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Trail Blazers 12-2 in overtime, and finally defeated the Trail Blazers 130-120, expanding the lead to 3-0.
For the Trail Blazers, Lillard scored a team-high 51 points, a career-high score, and the only 50+ pointer in team history!
Tonight, he was really a mechanical Lillard, playing at the peak of his career.
McCrum made 6 fouls in 4 minutes of overtime and scored 20 points and 9 assists.
Anthony had 17 points and 5 rebounds, Aminu had 11 points, and Collins had 9 points.
For the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored a personal playoff high of 55 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists this season.
Butler had 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, Walker had 16 points, and Davis had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.
New York Headquarters.
"These idiots!"
Xiao Hua was really angry to death.
The regular time is just a little short. If there is help from the referee, the Blazers will most likely win this game!
Suoke didn't speak or dared to speak.
In fact, he knew that Xiao Hua was severely slapped in the face.
Xiao Hua thought that the Trail Blazers would lose at least 30 points without the referee, but it turned out that the Trail Blazers tied with the Pelicans in the regular season.
This CEO is not only miserable, but also disrespectful.
After the game, Lillard was interviewed by local Portland media on the sidelines.
The reporter congratulated Lillard for scoring 50 points in the first playoff game in team history.
"This is the game where you officially become a superstar."
The reporter did not hesitate to praise him.
In fact, on a night like this, no words of praise would be enough.
There are very few people in NBA history who can score 50+ points in the playoffs, and all of them are superstars.
"Thanks."
But maybe it was because he lost the ball, he just forced a smile, and his mood was not particularly high.
The reporter asked a few more questions one after another.
In the end, he also mentioned the issue of the referee's penalty scale.
"The scale of this penalty is very good and it is a fair penalty that we expect."
Lillard's attitude was different from before. He praised the referees' performance.
"I'm just saying that if, if there were one or two penalties that went our way, we might be able to win the game."
The reporter continued.
What he said is similar to what Xiao Hua said, but this is also what many fans will think.
There is no need for more than a few centimeters. One or two penalties are enough to determine the outcome.
Lillard frowned and looked at the reporter, and his tone suddenly became serious.
"I said, this team and I don't need that kind of penalty. We lost, but we lost standing. That is more meaningful than winning by the referee."
Lillard was clearly angry at what the reporter said.
The reporter quickly apologized.
"The Trail Blazers played really well tonight, the best opponent we've ever faced, Damien almost won the game for them, he's a great scorer, we were lucky, it was a great game game because of the great sides.”
At the press conference shortly afterwards, Tang Tian gave great praise and affirmation to the Trail Blazers' performance.
The Trail Blazers were honored to lose tonight.
