Chapter 567 No Need for God This Time! (Third Update!)
Tang Tian's opportunity for additional punishment.
Duncan turned his head to look at Tang Tian, then shook his head with a smile.
Tang Tian was taken aback for a moment.
This old guy is now unscrupulous! Aren't you afraid that the referee will blow him a T?
"Boom!"
Perhaps due to Duncan's interference, Tang Tian's extra penalty missed.
Duncan protected the defensive rebound.
"go. spurs. go!"
The situation was unfavorable, and the fans cheered loudly for the Spurs.
But the Pelicans really worked hard, and they became more and more excited as they played, and they were stunned to prevent the Spurs' offense.
Davis finally protected the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans played a fast break.
Tang Tian received the ball from the midfielder and rushed to the frontcourt. After confronting Green, he sent the ball into the basket.
He didn't seize the opportunity before, and this time he finally helped the Pelicans narrow the point difference to single digits!
Popovich reached out and called a timeout.
The players of the Pelicans went off the field and were warmly cheered by the players off the field.
Although the score is still behind, but this section is really very encouraging.
And they really felt what Tang Tian said at halftime, which was completely different from the mindless feeling of last season.
"Keep it going, we have a chance!"
Williams, while unaware of what happened in midfield, was also excited to see the change in the team.
Back from the timeout, the Spurs played a hammer tactic, and Parker made a throw when he broke through.
Looking back, they also successfully defended against a wave of positional battles by the Pelicans.
This offense and one defense temporarily stabilized the situation on the court, and Popovich's tactical deployment during the timeout was still in place.
But on the next possession, Ariza stole Parker's pass to Leonard.
The Pelicans played a fast break, and Holiday received Tang Tian's pass and scored a layup, which also caused Green's pulling foul and got a 2+1 penalty opportunity.
After steadily making additional free throws, the Pelicans narrowed the point difference to 7 points.
Although the Pelicans failed to hit consecutive offensive climaxes, the Spurs can always score key goals when the Pelicans are chasing points.
But the momentum of the Pelicans chasing points is obvious!
After this quarter, they chased the score to 70 to 71 in a daze!
They played this game to Popovich with admiration.
In the fourth quarter, Jokic made a second pass to Gordon and scored. They seemed to have crossed the Himalayas. After going through thousands of dangers, they finally turned over!
But at this moment, the Spurs seized Jokic's weakness on the defensive end and played two consecutive waves of offense, pulling back the point difference again.
Williams did not play Evans this time, and directly replaced Whiteside and Ariza in advance.
When the decisive moment came in the fourth quarter, he didn't have much need to preserve the physical strength of the players.
And the Pelicans' youthful victories are their capital.
The substitution was immediate, and the Pelicans quickly stabilized the situation on the court.
The two sides have been in a stalemate in this quarter. The Spurs showed their No. 1 strength in the Western Conference and did not allow the Pelicans to establish an advantage.
In the last minute of the game, the Spurs tied the Pelicans at 91!
After a long 47-minute game, the two teams stood on the same starting line again.
Offensive opportunity for the Pelicans.
The rest of the Pelicans sank to the bottom line, and they were waiting to see Tang Tian's performance at the critical moment.
Green looked a little nervous. He still didn't have much confidence in defending Tang Tian with the key ball.
Tang Tian accelerated the change of direction step by step, and Green struggled to retreat.
And Leonard on the weak side came to help defend immediately.
Tang Tian didn't pass the ball, so he had to throw this kind of key ball by himself.
Grasping the gap between the two double-teaming defenses, Tang Tianqian pulled out his hand.
The cheers of the fans were held.
"Boom!"
The ball was thrown a little bit wide, and it bounced out of the frame!
Tang Tian missed the key goal!
Gasol stuck Whiteside, and Duncan struggled to protect the defensive rebound.
There were cheers everywhere.
Sure enough, God did not stand behind Tang Tian and the Pelicans this time.
Opportunity, come to the Spurs.
There are 40 seconds left in the game.
The Spurs played patiently. Leonard's final cut seized the perfect opportunity and made a steady shot to the basket.
This is a surefire opportunity.
But at this moment, Whiteside rushed forward and slapped Leonard's shot.
"boom!"
He directly gave Leonard a big hat!
And after blocking the shot, he grabbed a defensive rebound!
Neither he nor Davis performed well in the first half, but in the second half they went all out to chase points and felt as if they had been sublimated.
He didn't feel tired until the last moment of the fourth quarter!
Holiday asked Whiteside for the ball, and the Pelicans counterattacked directly.
Tang Tian was already walking forward at this time, he received a long pass from Holiday and rushed to the frontcourt.
At this time, Green followed Tang Tian tightly.
The two went from midfield to the free throw line in the frontcourt.
Two steps away from the free-throw line, Tang Tian jumped up, this time he mustered his strength.
Green followed suit.
There was a physical confrontation between the two in the air.
Tang Tian accelerated from the midfield all the way to the frontcourt with the ball. From a mathematical point of view, his momentum brought great kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy that Green's jumping interference can exert is relatively limited.
Coupled with the blessing of Tang Tian's ability to bomb the tortoise, and the weight difference between the two, the result of the air confrontation between the two was that Green was sent flying.
And this time Tang Tian didn't choose the way of layup like the previous fast break, because the previous goal was missed, this goal must be scored!
"Boom!"
Under the staring eyes of the fans at the scene, Tang Tian slammed the ball into the basket through Green after jumping up.
Another dunk!
Tang Tian didn't hold back his former teammate Green!
You are a good person!
In the last 35 seconds, the Pelicans got a key 2-point advantage!
The Spurs called a timeout.
The Pelicans bench was seething.
This time God did not stand behind the Pelicans and Tang Tian, but Tang Tian used an impossible way to get the most crucial 2 points for the Pelicans!
Now, as long as the last attack of the Spurs is defended, the victory belongs to the Pelicans!
After the timeout, Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. The Spurs' tactical cooperation in the frontcourt clearly wanted to create a dislocation opportunity for Leonard.
But the Pelicans did almost perfect around the pick-and-roll, failing to succeed for more than half of the offensive time.
Parker finally signaled his teammates to pull away, and knocked the ball directly to Leonard, asking him to hit Ariza one last time.
Popovich was also really big-hearted, and handed over the most critical offense to the young Leonard.
All the other players on the Spurs pulled away. Leonard hit Ariza with his back and used his physical advantage to get to the low post.
Ariza blocked his way to the basket, and he opted for a spin and fallback toward the free throw line.
This technical move is beautifully done, quite a bit of Kobe's shadow.
Ariza struggled to save the interference.
Leonard's key shot.
The ball goes over Ariza's fingertips.
Everyone on the scene held their breath.
This is almost a decisive goal.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a crisp iron strike.
Leonard's last attack was defended by Ariza!
