Chapter 1235 He Is the Number One Player in NBA History!
James' appeal to the referee did not work.
The current president is neither Stern nor Silver. Tatum's assessment of referees is extremely strict, and they only follow the rules.
Wade played his veteran role at this time, exchanged a few words with James in the past, and then yelled to remind his teammates during the retreat.
Counting Tang Tian's outstanding performance in the regular season when he broke the 102-point record, Wade's role in this Lakers team is really great.
Sure enough, with Wade's reminder and encouragement, although the Lakers were at a disadvantage in both offense and defense in the past, they quickly regained their morale and played high-quality defense.
The offensive coordination of the Pelicans was cut to pieces, and in the end the ball could only be returned to Tang Tian.
With little time left, Gasol wanted to put on the pick-and-roll, but he signaled him to go back.
After a three-threat breakthrough feint, he directly chose to shoot from a position two meters away from the three-point line!
This choice is very bold, but it was predicted by Middleton.
Time is running out, considering Tang Tian's super long-distance ability, this is a high probability choice.
Tang Tian's shot was disturbed, but he didn't make any adjustments, and directly made a strong shot against Middleton.
The ball passed Middleton's fingertips, fired from a long distance like an intercontinental missile, and flew towards the basket roaring.
The hearts of the fans at the scene tightened suddenly.
Obviously Middleton's defense on this ball is very good, and it is obviously a difficult ultra-long distance.
But they still had the feeling that Tang Tian could throw the ball in.
"Shua!"
There was a crisp sound.
The Staples Center was in an uproar again.
Most of them know why they felt that way after the goal was scored.
Because the shooter was Tang Tian, the first player in NBA history, and he had just made a difficult fallback in the middle of Middleton, James and Durant's three monster double-teams!
48 to 63!
Tang Tian personally scored 5 points in a row, reducing the point difference to 15 points again!
This is abruptly pulling the Pelicans back from the cliff to the edge of the cliff, and bringing hopelessness back to adversity!
"Come on! Lakers!"
The fans at the scene felt that the situation was not right, and began to take the initiative to cheer for the Lakers.
Although Tang Tian's 5 points in a row were crucial, the Lakers were the one leading after all, and led by a full 15 points.
And they still have James and Durant!
As long as the offensive end can score the ball, even if Tang Tian goes berserk and the point difference can still be maintained, then the Lakers will win in the end!
The fans thought so, but the situation on the court was different from what they had imagined.
The Pelicans played a higher defensive quality than their previous round!
Tang Tian's five points in a row greatly boosted the morale of the Pelicans, and it also had the bonus of "schoolchildren's carnival", making their defense airtight.
The ball finally fell into Durant's hands, and Durant stopped immediately and pulled out his hand.
He wants to return Tang Tian's answerball!
"Snapped!"
But before he picked up the ball, Tang Tian slapped it away!
After Tang Tian touched himself, the improved stability was not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
And in adversity, his defensive concentration is very high.
Durant didn't have time to snatch the ball back, because Tang Tian was very confident when he made the steal. He ran forward after the shot, and made a fast break after getting the ball!
The steal happened near the three-point line, and the rest of the Lakers had no time to react, so they could only watch Tang Tian fast break to the frontcourt.
"Boom!"
An iconic windmill directly exploded the Pelicans' bench.
The Spurs look at Parker in good times, Duncan in adversity, and Ginobili in desperation.
But for the Pelicans, look at Davis in good times, Tang Tian in adversity, and Tang Tian in desperate situations!
With a 13-point difference, most of the potential is now taken by the Pelicans, and the game can be played again!
There was an uproar at the scene.
They originally thought that with James and Durant, the team's scoring can be stabilized, and the Lakers still have an absolute advantage.
But they automatically ignore one thing.
That is, Tang Tian has been dpoy for four consecutive times! He is a player with both offensive and defensive bugs!
Amidst the restlessness, James broke through the basket with the ball.
But before he rushed into the three-second zone, Tang Tian suddenly assisted in the defense and forced him to make a dribble error!
The ball went straight out of bounds!
The originally excited expressions of the fans at the scene became a little desperate now.
The situation changed too fast, they couldn't adapt to it all at once!
Many fans on the hotline are feeling that James is old.
In an unfavorable situation, Wade is still trying to encourage his teammates.
However, Tang Tian's explosive performance on both ends of the offense and defense obviously hit the confidence of the Lakers, and their morale was obviously not as high as before.
Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt again, and the Lakers rushed forward with four players.
This is a little neurotic.
Tang Tian's choice was to break through the three-point line against the four of them.
Just when the fans thought he was possessed by Kobe, he double-teamed an incredible sideways back pass.
The ball seemed to have eyes, passing through the gap between the double teams, and sent straight to the basket Gasol's hands.
An unguarded opportunity.
Gasol took the ball off easily and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
After the ball was dunked, he beat his chest and roared, completely venting his unhappiness in the first half.
After yelling, he pointed at Tang Tian. This was the easiest goal he scored in this year's playoffs!
52 to 63!
The Pelicans played a 9-0 offensive, and the point difference was only 11 points left in a blink of an eye!
The Lakers still failed to score in a wave of offense in the frontcourt. Looking back, Tang Tian sent a second pass to the air-cut Siakam, who dunked with both hands and scored.
The point difference came to single digits!
Vogel reached out and called a timeout.
Although the team is still leading by 9 points, he can feel that if he does not call a timeout, those 9 points will disappear in an instant.
"I know, I just knew, this is the script I imagined, and this is the script that should appear!"
In the commentary booth, O'Neill finally went online after holding back halftime.
"Don's performance during this period is incredible. Not only did he pull the Pelicans out of desperation with his crazy performance on both ends of the offense and defense, but his passing can pull the Pelicans out of a slump!"
Barkley followed suit.
But he played it perfectly.
After Tang Tian scored 7 points in a row, he used his offensive threat to send out two consecutive assists. Such a perfect performance is not enough to describe.
"None of us should forget, Don, he's the number one player in NBA history. Looking at it this way, it's not so surprising."
Kenny Smith used a very advanced style of blowing.
Three people, three different ways, but the only thing in common is that they were all impressed by Tang Tian's performance in this section, and then they boasted.
