Chapter 1197 A Stable One (5/5!)

Chapter 1197 A stable horse (55!)

And in the next round, he helped block Butler's breakthrough layup!

A 10% improvement in stability is not much, but Davis's performance has been relatively stable since he studied under Duncan.

To use an analogy, he had fallen to the critical point of his normal performance before, and this 10% bonus pulled him back up again!

Davis continued to force Gallinari inside, and when he tried to get in the low post for the third time, Rivers was forced to help defend.

And with this assistance, a bigger problem arises.

Tang Tian, ​​you haven’t made a move since the beginning!

Facing his brother Butler, he kept shaking to get rid of him and suddenly stopped to pull out his hand.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball is firmly in the frame.

The moment Tang Tian took action, he had a feeling that the ball would be scored as long as he took action.

Gallinari hit a three-pointer from the outside and finally found some space for himself.

Looking back, Tang Tian and Davis played a pick-and-roll, and Tang Tian misplaced Gallinari and broke through for a layup.

Gallinari knew he couldn't guard Tang Tian, ​​so he was ruthless when he fouled.

Tang Tian was forcibly pulled down, but he still sent the ball steadily before falling.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the ball hit the backboard and shot diagonally into the net bag.

2+1!

After Tang Tian scored, he felt relieved both physically and mentally.

Stability is something that cannot be touched or seen, but its actual effect is extremely good.

Tang Tian made a steady hit and added a free throw, and the Pelicans led 9-5.

Doncic scored in the frontcourt and gave it to Gallinari, but this time Gallinari failed to make a shot.

Gasol protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans directly played a defensive counterattack. After receiving the ball, Tang Tian made a one-stop fast break and went to the frontcourt to rely on Butler's basket.

Butler defended well.

"Uh-huh!"

But the ball passed his fingertips, danced a short waltz in the air, and fell steadily into the net.

11 to 5!

Butler's frontcourt single was defended by Tang Tian.

The Pelicans got back to playing position.

Butler used his mental attributes to encourage his teammates with words, and the Clippers played a successful defense.

There was not much time left to attack, and the ball finally went to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took the ball and rushed to the free throw line and was double-teamed, and Butler blocked Tang Tian's breakthrough route on the right in advance.

There was not enough time, and Tang Tian had no time to make other technical moves. After leaning to the left, he turned and leaned back to the left.

Gallinari fought very hard and faced challenges in the air.

Tang Tian's body was a little off balance, but his shooting gestures did not change and he shot the ball steadily.

"beep!"

"Uh-huh!"

The referee's whistle sounded and the ball hit the net!

Another 2+1!

The fans on the sidelines were restless.

After Gallinari landed, he held his head in his hands and looked depressed.

This is his second personal foul of the game.

The game had only lasted less than five minutes.

Moreover, the two fouls he committed were committed on Tang Tian, ​​and they were not successful.

So angry!

A short whistle came from the sidelines, and JaMychal Green came on to replace Gallinari.

Tang Tian's extra penalty was a sure hit.

14 to 5!

After Davis contained the defense, Tang Tian scored 9 points in a short period of time, opening the point difference to 9 points in an instant!

"The Pelicans are in very good shape tonight. Whether it's AD or Don, the basket is like the sea in their eyes."

In the commentary box, Brin let out a burst of emotion.

Needless to say, Davis was in average form some time ago, but his performance tonight was very stable.

As for Tang Tian, ​​his understanding was refreshed again. He originally thought that Tang Tian's previous performance was good enough, but it turned out that Tang Tian had no upper limit.

During the past period, Tang Tian gave him the feeling that no matter how difficult the ball was or how big the confrontation was, he could always put the ball into the basket steadily.

Rivers has walked from the bench to the sidelines. From time to time, he shouts at the players on the field to remind them of their defensive positions.

He was waiting for Tang Tian's performance to drop.

But it's a pity that he didn't wait until the end of this quarter.

Tang Tian's performance tonight was solid.

In this quarter, he faced Butler's defense and scored 22 points in a single quarter.

Under his leadership, the Pelicans scored 37 points in a single quarter and ended the quarter with a 37-23 lead.

In the transition period between substitutes in the second quarter, the main players on both sides played as substitutes.

On the Clippers' side, they have Lou Williams and Bradley on the outside, Shamet and Gallinari on the forward side, and center Thomas Bryant.

For the Pelicans, Alexander and Ding Yanyuhang are on the outside, Kuzma and Siakam are on the forward line, and Harrell is on the center line.

Rivers was on the sideline early in the second quarter.

Williams and Gallinari played together in this period. He obviously wanted the Clippers to catch up with the score in this period.

On paper, the Clippers' bench has the advantage.

His idea did come true.

Back in the second quarter, the Clippers attacked first. Williams showed his personal strength, passing Alexander and Harrell, and scored a quick layup.

Siakam's layup in the frontcourt was interfered by Bryant and missed. Bryant got the defensive rebound and the Clippers directly launched a defensive counterattack.

It was Williams again, who accelerated away from Alexander and scored a layup in the frontcourt, which also caused Ding Yanyuhang's pulling foul!

Williams roared after scoring, then waved his upper hand at the audience to cheer the fans.

The cheers at the scene were wave after wave.

Since the beginning of last season, Williams' outstanding scoring ability has been familiar to Los Angeles fans.

By this season, even though the team selected Doncic and traded for Butler, Williams, as the sixth man, was still averaging close to 19 points per game.

If he continues to play at this pace, he is likely to win the title of Sixth Man of the Year again.

"On a street in Los Angeles, ask who is the father."

Fans even used such words to describe Williams' outstanding performance.

Stevens reacted quickly, turned around, called Brogdon up, and asked him to come on and replace Ding Yanyuhang.

Williams' extra free throw was a solid hit.

He personally launched a 5-0 offensive and narrowed the point difference to 9 points.

"Defense! defense!"

The fans at the scene cheered for the team in unison, and the Clippers were about to gain momentum.

Rivers also continued to yell at his players on the sidelines.

The core offensive point of the Pelicans' bench lineup is Siakam. If you guard him, and then follow up with Brogdon who just replaced him, you can basically guard him.

His strategy was indeed effective. Siakam and Brogdon were heavily targeted, and the Pelicans failed to succeed twice in a row.

It was Alexander who was in possession of the ball. He finally called on Harrell to play a simple pick-and-roll, and he took the ball and drove in.

Bryant is very close and his defense is fierce.

In last summer's deal, he didn't have to be sent away by the Pelicans, but he was added to the Pelicans in order to get Alexander.

In other words, the Pelicans feel Alexander has more development value than he does.

So when he faced the Pelicans, especially Alexander, he worked hard.

The two men faced each other to the basket, and Alexander made a sudden stop.

Bryant seized the opportunity and interfered hard, and the two men had a confrontation in the air.

At this moment, Alexander felt that his shots in the air were much more stable than usual.

He adjusted the angle and made a small throw from close range.

The ball flew past Bryant's fingertips and toward the basket.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Alexander faced Bryant's defense and scored the ball steadily!
