Chapter 568: No. 1 in the West! (Fourth Update!)

A key defense!

In the fierce battle for the position at the basket, Davis finally used his long arms to protect the defensive rebound and immediately called a timeout.

In the last 20 seconds, the Pelicans led by 2 points and still had the ball!

After seeing the referee give a timeout gesture, Ariza roared excitedly.

The Pelicans have already won half of the victory!

They really don't need God tonight!

Tang Tian's expression at this time was also quite relaxed.

The two defenses of Whiteside and Ariza helped him share a lot of pressure.

This is the progress of the Pelicans. It is no longer the team that required him to be both a father and a mother last season.

And Davis's choice after getting the rebound is also very witty.

With less than 24 seconds left in the game, the only option for the Spurs is to foul. Call a timeout and replace the players with the best free throws. This is the most correct choice.

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans had a wave of big substitutions, Morrow, Taylor Tovic, and Cole were all replaced one after another.

Davis successfully sent the ball to Tang Tian from outside.

The Spurs stepped forward and fouled immediately.

Tang Tian's two free throw opportunities.

He scored a free throw and the Pelicans had a great chance of winning.

If both free throws are scored, the Pelicans basically seal the victory.

There were boos all over the place.

Although the process of the game is completely different from last season, the same thing is that the outcome of the game is still in Tang Tian's hands.

Tang Tian took the first free throw and the ball fell steadily into the net pocket.

His free throw percentage this season is as high as 90%, and the probability of not making a free throw is very small.

Second penalty.

"Shua!"

It is also hollow into the network.

Popovich called the Spurs' final timeout.

With a difference of 4 points and 19 seconds, it depends on whether the Spurs can score a three-pointer.

The fans at the scene stood up at this time, and their emotions were not very high.

Losing the game and losing the No. 1 result in the Western Conference is really unacceptable.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs served in the backcourt, and Parker quickly advanced with the ball.

The Pelicans' defense has expanded a lot, and Williams' intention with this ball is obvious, that is, not to give the Spurs a chance to make a three-pointer.

However, after the Spurs pushed to the frontcourt, both Leonard and Gasol were cutting to the basket.

Parker flicked the ball to Leonard, who quickly scored 2 points at the basket.

The Spurs unexpectedly called for a 2-pointer.

This choice is Popovich.

The Pelicans called a timeout again, and this was their last timeout.

With 14 seconds left in the clock, it was still a 2-point difference.

The fans at the scene kept looking at the big screen nervously.

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans served in the backcourt.

The physical confrontation and pressure given by the Spurs at this time are very strong. Their goal is to force the Pelicans to make a serve error.

Davis still looked for Tang Tian.

The ball was passed, but Leonard swooped out from the weak side at this time, flew up and broke the ball!

Leonard contributed a Death Coil at the most critical moment!

The Spurs grabbed the last chance!

Davis still lacks experience at critical moments!

The Spurs have no timeout, and Leonard directly chooses to attack the frame after getting the ball.

Standing in front of him was Tang Tian.

Leonard turned to the right and went inside to kill.

At this time, 2 points behind, scoring 2 points is a safer choice.

"Snapped!"

But in the next second of his dribble.

Tang Tian reached out and poked the ball out of his hand!

And after poking it out, Tang Tian squeezed past Leonard and got the ball!

Leonard robbed Davis' pass, but Tang Tian robbed Leonard's!

The transfer of the ball was very fast, and before the others could react, Tang Tian rushed forward like lightning after taking the ball.

The Spurs players were too late to chase.

Tang Tian rushed to the frontcourt, jumped from inside the free throw line, and swung the ball high with one arm.

The eyes of the fans at the scene were full of despair.

"Boom!"

A one-armed tomahawk that smashed the ball into the basket hard.

This dunk directly sentenced the Spurs to death!

The Spurs sent the baseline ball, and in the last 8 seconds, they had no choice but to throw a three-pointer.

With cooperation in the frontcourt, Ginobili received the ball two steps away from the three-point line.

"Boom!"

This ball is too far and too difficult.

Davis protected the defensive rebound.

There was an uproar at the scene, and many fans stretched out their hands and hugged their heads.

The Spurs did not foul at this time. After the last three seconds, the game officially ended.

97 to 93!

Although the fans at home were very reluctant, the Pelicans still had the last laugh!

Like last year, they won their first meeting of the season.

The last time they relied on Tang Tian's miraculous 4 three-pointers, but this time they relied on their actual strength.

On the Spurs side, Leonard scored a team-high 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals. He made 9 of 16 shots with a high efficiency.

Gasol had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Parker had 15 points and 7 assists, Ginobili had 11 points, and Duncan had 10 points and 8 rebounds.

For the Pelicans, Tang Tian made 11 of 21 shots and scored a game-high 30 points, plus 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Davis had 15 points and 11 rebounds, Whiteside had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Holiday had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

This is the most convincing game the Pelicans have achieved this season.

"Good job."

After the game, the two teams had a final handshake, and Popovich spoke to Tang Tian.

He gave the Pelicans a wave before the game, but this time it didn't work.

Moreover, Tang Tian, ​​his only one without milk, got the highest score in the game.

"Good job, keep going."

When shaking hands with Leonard, Tang Tian hugged him and said some words of encouragement.

Leonard's performance in this game is already very good, but he still lacks some experience.

"I said, we're going to win, and now we're No. 1 in the West!"

After the handshake was over, Whiteside shouted to Tang Tian, ​​he was as happy as a child.

"We won again."

Davis also came over to hug Tang Tian at this time, what he said obviously had more meaning.

In a manor on the outskirts of San Antonio.

Holt picked up the medicine bottle in front of him, poured out one and quickly threw it into his mouth. After drinking water and swallowing it, he took two quick breaths.

Last year he was fainted in the arena, but fortunately there were security guards around him so nothing serious happened.

But since then his heart has been a little bad, and he needs to take some drugs such as sedatives.

He didn't go to the game, and he didn't plan to watch it, but he couldn't hold back in the end.

As a result, he almost suffered a heart attack due to anger.

Fortunately, this is just a regular season.

The Pelicans have performed well this season, and he now hopes that the Pelicans will go far in the playoffs.

Only in this way can the Spurs meet them in the playoffs and eliminate them, so that his heart will really feel better.

After all, heart disease requires heart medicine, and these medicines alone cannot cure the root cause.
