Chapter 473
"Man, he scored 50 points!"
O'Neill laughed and said that he now realizes that it is too wise for him to stand in line with Tang Tian.
Smith nodded with a wry smile.
Although the game was not over yet, Tang Tian's 50 points matched Durant's 43 points. After the game, he took back the scoring leader.
Moreover, he still has the opportunity to continue to set new career highs.
Tang Tian's second free throw chance.
There were boos all over the place.
Tang Tian adjusted his breathing before making a move.
"Shua!"
The second penalty is also entered!
The Pelicans gained a 3-point lead!
The Thunder have no timeout and serve directly from the backcourt.
Westbrook quickly dribbles up the field.
Durant came out to catch the ball around the pick-and-roll, but Tang Tian stuck very tightly, and he didn't have a chance to make a direct call after catching the ball.
The rest of the Thunder pulled away, and Durant dribbled for space.
Tang Tian defended very smartly, pressing from the side, forcing Durant to go to the sideline.
He knew that with Durant's height it would be difficult to stop him from shooting, but he also knew that Durant's hit rate at two forty-five-degree angles was far lower than that at the top of the arc.
Durant was forced to the sideline, because the time was running out and the opportunity was not good, he chose to take a step back three-pointer.
Tang Tian's save caused enough interference.
Durant's shot barely passed Tang Tian's fingertips.
When the ball flew to the highest point, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.
Everyone on the scene held their breath.
The key goal, either scored in overtime, or not scored to lose!
The ball spins in the air as if it has passed through a long century.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, the three-pointer hit the net.
Durant's key three-pointer, scored!
The cheers erupted in an instant.
Durant's big heart at critical moments!
The two sides will usher in overtime!
This game is thrilling!
Durant was also very excited after scoring the goal. After roaring at the sidelines for a while, he turned around and gave Tang Tian a death eye!
Want to take the victory from me? It's not that easy!
I said if you want to win, you will win, even if it takes an overtime!
For my brother, for Scarlett, and for my dignity, I will win!
"Beep! Beep!"
But at this moment, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.
Williams was very excited to communicate with the referee, and kept gesturing on the sideline.
It turned out that he meant that Durant stepped on the line with the last ball.
After the three referees communicated, they went back to the technical stage to watch the replay.
The cheers at the scene turned into agitation.
Because the time was up after Durant made the shot, if stepping on the line didn't count, the Thunder would lose.
The ball just now began to be replayed on the large LED screen at the scene.
When the playback reached 24 frames per second, Durant's foot clearly stepped out of bounds!
His feet are too big!
After the referee confirmed, he made a gesture to the home audience that the goal was invalid.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Because of Durant's big feet, the Thunder lost in the end!
Durant took off his braces and looked at the big screen, stunned.
Life's big ups and downs are too exciting!
But, that's the result.
The Pelicans defeated the Thunder 111 to 108!
Westbrook had 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Ibaka had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, Reggie Jackson had 15 points and 3 assists, Adams had 4 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.
Durant had 43 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, but he failed to help the Thunder win. In the end, he dug a hole and jumped into it himself!
Moreover, he also lost the scoring champion!
Davis had 20 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, Holiday had 12 points and 5 assists, Whiteside had 4 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 fouls, and Roberts had 6 points and 6 assists.
Tang Tian scored 51 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block!
He got the first 50+ of his career!
And against a strong team like the Thunder!
The game has just ended, and the fans on social media have exploded!
"No, I'm in good shape, I'll win the scoring title, and even if he comes back, I'll easily beat him and win the game."
"Haha, man, what do you mean by posting Durant's exact words?"
"Loser Missile! Warning if you have more money than you!"
"Don is really tough, Durant scored 43 points, and Tang scored the first 50+ in his career!"
"It's not that our army is weak, but the enemy has Gundams!"
"This game is of great reference value for the Pelicans. When Tang doesn't consume energy on the defensive end, he can score super high points on the offensive end!"
"So, after this game, Tang has secured his position as the scoring leader?"
"Handsome! And the Pelicans have already reached the eighth place in the Western Conference after this game. If we continue to play like this, I think they will not only be the scoring champion, but also compete for the MVP!"
"Haha, Tang already competed for the scoring title and MVP in the third grade, begging for the shadow area of Buford's psychology!"
"Buford: Am I that handsome? It's worth remembering every day!"
...
Fans were chatting enthusiastically on social media, and Williams was full of praise for Tang Tian's performance at the post-match press conference.
"He was our MVP, he played a crazy game, I don't know how to describe it, but he dominated the court tonight."
Not only Williams, but the cute Davis also seemed to be enlightened tonight.
"He is our leader, he led us to win the game, I don't have to score high points like before but can't lead the team to win."
The straightforward translation of this sentence is, don't cut it in vain!
Tang Tian's joining finally allowed him to hand over his position as the leader of the Kongban group!
"Don, you led the Pelicans to win the game and responded well to Kevin Durant's previous remarks. Do you have anything to say?"
The reporters are all lively and don't think it's a big deal. After asking Williams and Davis, when they asked Tang Tian again, they were obviously rushing to provoke trouble.
Tang Tian smiled after hearing this. He knew what the reporter wanted to hear, so he might just reply casually, but the other party was Durant.
"I'm just a system player."
Tang Tian said.
After he finished speaking, all the reporters below burst out laughing.
Durant's players in Tang Tian's system during the offseason last year were said to be supported by fans, but as Tang Tian's performance became more and more eye-catching, it became more and more like a joke.
Tang Tian's self-talk is in line with the trend of the times, and by the way, he slapped Durant hard!
The press conference on the Pelicans side was full of laughter and praises, but the press conference on the other side of the home team was a bit dull.
Especially when Durant uttered a bunch of harsh words and ended up losing the game.
The reporters knew Durant's sensitive personality, and they were very cautious when asking questions.
"Losing a game makes people feel bad, but it doesn't really matter. It's just a regular season. If we play a series in the playoffs, we can still win easily."
At the end of the press conference, Durant seemed to be thinking about it, and said directly into the microphone.
This is because what I said before could not be fulfilled, and I replaced it with a new one.
But this time the fans felt that this was true.
The Thunder are now competing for the top two in the West, and the Pelicans have just entered the top eight, and they are getting along well with the seventh Grizzlies.
The possibility of the two teams meeting in the playoffs is really quite high.
A game is quite random, after all, Tang Tian can't score 50+ every game, let alone in the playoffs.
So in the series, the Thunder have a much better chance of winning.
Tang Tian finished the press conference and returned to the locker room, but his teammates still hadn't left.
When he came in, they all yelled at him one after another.
The effect of Tang Tian giving Ferrari before could last for a whole season.
And not only on the court, but also off the court.
The celebration in the locker room lasted for a while, and Whiteside was belatedly returned to the locker room.
He looks like he's running late again.
After he came in, he went directly to Tang Tian and sat down.
Tang Tian thought at first that he was here to thank him, but seeing the angry expression on his face was not quite right.
"I was listening to the Thunder's post-game press conference outside the door just now."
As soon as Whiteside spoke, Tang Tian knew the reason for his late arrival.
This guy turned out to be eavesdropping on Thunder's press conference.
Whiteside angrily told Tang Tian what he had heard.
"If it weren't for that guy talking so arrogantly in Oklahoma, I would have rushed in and fucked him!"
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Whiteside is really a simple stunned young man. His mood fluctuates so much, no wonder he would fight with people in the Development League, and it's no wonder he would be regarded as a stabbing head.
But this kind of person is very real, what to say, is worth getting close to.
"Yeah! Yay! He's Kevin Durant..."
Ci Shiping has already started his new rap at this time.
Counting the "missing black widow who Durant likes to drink bath water" last time, Durant really added new materials to Ci Shiping's rap career.
According to this progress, it won't be long before Ci Shiping can release a new album!
