Chapter 622 Your Opponent Is Don Bryant (Second Update!)
The Cavaliers were tied, and those fans on the hotline came alive again.
"What about those who said that our emperor did nothing when the team was chasing points? Now that the Pelicans are chasing points, can Don do anything?"
"The Pelicans' pursuit of points is just because other players feel good. I think Jokic's playing is the key to the Pelicans' pursuit of the score. It has nothing to do with Don!"
"By the way, isn't it about Irving that the Cavaliers are chasing points?"
"Do you think the core of every team is as selfless as my emperor? He gives up the ball is the key!"
"If you have the ability, you should find a teammate like Irving!"
...
Williams got up and called a timeout.
It's a bit late to stop calling.
Borrego offered advice to Williams from the sidelines.
"Al, you are ready to play."
Williams nodded, turned and called Aminu up.
"Don, you play. The others open up the space. If there is an outside double-team, prepare to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. If the inside double-teams, cut in."
Williams said quickly.
Now Jokic can't play, and Biyombo is being targeted like this again. He followed Borrego's suggestion and pushed Davis to the fifth position.
Mozgov's inside offensive ability is average, which is not the same as when he played against the Knicks before.
"They're in trouble."
Taking advantage of the timeout, the three people in the commentary booth chatted again.
"Yes, Jokic's injury, Whiteside's foul, Biyombo's finishing ability is a bit poor, and their rotation is now a problem."
Smith opened his mouth to analyze.
"They seem to be on the 14-man list now?"
Barkley said suddenly at this time.
"Yes, they waived Reggie Evans and haven't signed anyone yet. There were rumors that they wanted to sign McGee, but there was no follow-up news."
Smith nodded.
"Ooh, JaVale McGee, my.boy."
Barkley laughed and looked at O'Neill at this time.
He originally wanted to say that the Pelicans could consider signing an offensive inside big man. There should be such a person in both the buyout market and the free market.
But the appearance of the word McGee has completely drawn his attention.
O'Neal put McGee frequently in the top five, and nicknamed him "my.boy", which is absolutely impressive.
O'Neill couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
McGee held up half the sky of the five big embarrassments, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the show was supported by McGee.
"McGee's ability to finish at the basket is good, and he can also block shots. He is quite suitable, and the Pelicans' previous pursuit of him is not wrong."
Smith analyzed with a professional eye.
Barkley nodded, but his eyes were still on O'Neill's side.
"Shaq, what do you think about the Pelicans signing McGee?"
he asked.
"Yes, they're going to need him, and he can still play in the NBA."
O'Neal nodded with a smile.
"Are you sure it's not your show that needs him?"
Barkley asked.
O'Neill laughed out loud.
Of course, that is also one aspect.
Back from the timeout, there were substitutions on both sides.
Aminu and Gordon replaced Biyombo and Ariza for the Pelicans, and Marion and Miller for the Cavaliers replaced James and Waiters.
Holiday dribbled the ball to the front court, and Tang Tian asked for the ball with his back against Marion in the high position.
Holiday gave the ball in.
After receiving the ball, Tang Tian slapped him a bit, then turned around and leaned back.
"Shua!"
The basketball is hollow into the net.
Tang Tian's key ball ability is still very stable.
The Pelicans regained the lead.
In the Cavaliers' offense, Irving continued to use the pick-and-roll to break into the paint.
Davis played a good role in defense in the interior, and Irving's layup was interfered.
Mozgov grabbed the offensive rebound and was blocked by Davis turning around.
Davis used to play the fifth position because he was afraid of the dark and rough. A heavy center like Mozgov is slow, and he is not afraid of his speed advantage.
The Cavaliers' offense came back in vain, and Tang Tian continued to rely on hitting Marion in the frontcourt.
At this time, the Cavaliers' inside Love double-teamed out.
Tang Tian's fake move of turning around and passing the ball to the basket tricked Love into retreating. He stopped the ball for a while, then leaned back on the spot and shot.
This time Marion had no time to react.
"Shua!"
The basketball went through the heart again.
When he played against the Lakers before, his backwardness was not very stable because he had just exchanged skills, but as he played more and more games, his stability continued to improve.
In the Cavaliers' offense, Irving still failed to make a three-pointer from the outside.
His fiery touch that lasted for nearly a quarter finally subsided.
However, it is unbelievable that he scored so many points in the face of Holiday's high-pressure defense.
Davis uses his long arms to protect the defensive rebound.
Tang Tian went to the frontcourt and continued to occupy a high position.
At Blatter's shouts, the Cavaliers double-teamed directly in advance.
The ball couldn't pass, Holiday took the ball and broke through to the basket, scoring a sudden point to Davis.
The Cavaliers shrank quickly, Davis had no chance, and returned the ball to Holiday's organization.
At this time, half of the attack time was over, and Holiday flicked the ball to the open Aminu.
Love jumped back.
Aminu gave the ball to Tang Tian again.
The attack time is less than 5 seconds left.
Tang Tian had no choice when he caught the ball, so he leaned back directly to the baseline.
Marion has rich experience, and he judged the ball very accurately, and he grabbed the position ahead of time and saved it.
Tang Tian didn't have room to make a move, so he leaned back more.
After getting enough space, he shot at the last second of 24 seconds.
His body in the air and the basket are almost at a sixty-degree angle.
And when the ball was shot, everyone looked up out of bounds, which was a negative angle shot.
Absolutely difficult shot.
The fans at the scene felt that they were not breathing.
The entire New Orleans arena was silent.
"Shua!"
There was a crisp sound.
Like the most beautiful voice in the world, Tang Tian's high-difficulty buzzer was thrown back into the pocket!
He scored 6 points in a row!
When landing, Tang Tian also excitedly raised his hand, which drew cheers from the fans.
Marion on the opposite side shook his head helplessly.
The ball just now was very similar to the scene when he faced Kobe before.
Irving knew that he didn't feel good, so he made a sudden point and gave the ball to Mozgov under the basket.
However, Mozgov didn't hold the ball firmly, and directly dropped it out of bounds.
Blatter took advantage of this dead ball time and replaced Mozgov with Thompson.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball.
He faked a backside to the baseline.
Love and Marion both jumped out.
This is already out of the shadows by him.
Tang Tian turned around and took the ball directly to the basket to break through.
Davis tried to jam Thompson, and Tang Tian accelerated in three steps.
Thompson's strength is very good, he forcibly squeezed Davis away and rushed over.
Tang Tian had too little room to pass the ball when jumping at close range, and he aimed the ball at Mao Tang Tian.
Tang Tian didn't intend to pass, and directly pushed the ball into the basket.
Although Davis was squeezed away, he was still stuck with Thompson, and Thompson couldn't use his full strength.
"Boom!"
"beep!"
Tang Tian smashed the ball into the basket through Thompson, and the referee's whistle sounded.
This is a 2+1!
ps: Another day full of vigor, asking for a monthly pass!
Thanks to Bawangcao and Xingfeng Xiaoye in the weeds for their rewards.
