Chapter 734: This Stool Is a Bit Hot to the Butt (Fourth Update!)

Tang Tian didn't expect Holt to sit down, but when he saw Holt sitting down and signaling his assistant to pour coffee, he had probably guessed what Holt was thinking.

This is to find a place.

OK.

Watching football alone is actually boring, but it is more interesting to have someone sitting by.

Whether it would be embarrassing or not was completely out of Tang Tian's mind.

Only Holt cares so much about this game. He didn't even play. It doesn't mean anything if the Spurs win.

Moreover, the Pelicans' competitive state tonight does not necessarily mean they will lose.

The assistant brought Holt coffee, and Holt drank it while watching the game. It seemed that he was ready to finish the game here.

The salesperson at the theater looked here with curiosity in his eyes.

An NBA superstar, an NBA team owner.

This is not a VIP box, but the TV in the lobby tonight can be regarded as a VIP viewing service.

Holt had just started drinking his coffee when his brows furrowed.

After the start of the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Holiday was replaced one minute before the end of the first quarter and was replaced at the beginning of the second quarter.

Partnering with him in the backcourt at this time is sophomore Joe Harris.

Harris rarely had a chance to play with the Cavaliers, and it was the same after he arrived with the Pelicans. His defense, like Morrow, failed to meet the team's requirements.

But Morrow was in poor condition, so Stevens could only use him. This was also his first appearance with the Pelicans.

But it was such a person who became a surprise player on the court during this period of time.

He scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside within one minute, instantly narrowing the point difference to less than 5 points.

Harris's outburst came so suddenly that Popovich's reaction was a bit slow.

Holt made a sound of pain at the side, and Tang Tian turned around and saw him blowing air quickly out of his mouth.

It seems like this coffee is a bit hot.

Holt turned his head and saw Tang Tian looking at him. He coughed twice and acted as if nothing happened.

Tang Tian was holding back his laughter at the moment.

He doesn't care about winning or losing the game, but it seems Holt does.

If the Pelicans win, the scene will become very exciting.

Popovich called a timeout and replaced Leonard on the court, and Stevens on the Pelicans also replaced Davis on the court.

Leonard has played very well this season and is currently ranked fifth in the MVP rankings, only behind Tang Tian, ​​Curry, James and Harden.

He came up very well and directly attacked Aminu to score two points to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

A smile appeared on Holt's face. A big part of the reason why he was willing to let Tang Tian go was Leonard.

The better Leonard plays now, the better his vision is, and the happier he is.

But in the next round, Davis singled out Diaw in the low post and turned around and scored two points.

Harris's two three-pointers were not just 6-pointers. He made the Spurs afraid to close in from the outside and gave Davis enough space for singles.

And Davis is also very good, continuing the first quarter or this season's stable low-post scoring ability, helping the Pelicans continue to bite the score.

Leading by 10 points in the first quarter, Holt thought that if Tang Tian couldn't play, the Spurs would be able to expand their advantage at halftime and even win the game early.

But just like the past two rounds, the situation on both sides was extremely tense.

At halftime, the Spurs only led the Pelicans by 3 points, 52-49.

The game entered the intermission, and the atmosphere in the hall became very subtle at this time.

Tang Tian originally planned to go to the locker room to cheer for the players during midfield, but Holt's presence here greatly increased his enjoyment of watching the game, so he did not plan to go.

Holt is even more worried. If he leaves at this time, Tang Tian will think that he is afraid, so there is absolutely no way that he will leave before Tang Tian.

So, Tang Tian went to the cinema and ordered a Coke, Holt also refilled a cup of coffee, and the two of them continued to sit in the hall like this.

Fortunately, the halftime break was not too long, and the game resumed quickly in the second half.

The Pelicans' outstanding performance in the first half gave Tang Tian some expectations for the second half.

When the game actually started, his expectation really appeared, and it was a super double.

Coming back in the second half, Holiday's hand felt hot after he scored two goals. He couldn't make any outside shots.

If a team wants to become stronger, someone must sacrifice the ball and status in order to maximize the efficiency of the game.

Holiday was originally selected as an All-Star when he was with the 76ers, but after coming to the Pelicans, he gradually changed from a core player to a role player due to ability issues.

Just like Tang Tian knew him, he played without any resentment and was conscientious. He didn't score many points, but he defended well.

Although the data is not very eye-catching, it is an essential part of the Pelicans' winning streak.

Now that Tang Tian is absent, he has transformed from a role player back to being a core player.

Like Harris in the first half, Holiday's excellent touch on the outside contained the Spurs' outside defense, and Davis continued to show his strength inside.

The Spurs didn't feel good in this quarter.

In this quarter, the Pelicans actually beat the Spurs 32 to 21, leading the Spurs by 8 points!

This quarter of the game was unexpected. Tang Tian was very happy, but Holt next door was a little on pins and needles.

He kept moving his hips to release his anxiety.

The assistant on the side looked terrified, fearing that Holt would have another heart attack.

Tang Tian noticed Holt's behavior and shook his head helplessly.

It seems that not only the coffee burns my mouth, but the stool also burns my butt!

Why bother, you are already so old, you can just find an excuse to go to the toilet and run away.

Holt snorted coldly when he saw Tang Tian's actions, and then turned his attention back to the TV.

He didn't believe that the Spurs would lose like this. He knew Popovich's abilities very well.

Although the relationship between the two has deteriorated a lot in the past two years, which has made him less favorable to Popovich, Popovich's ability is undeniable.

And it's only 8 points, which is really not a big difference.

Popovich is indeed capable. He put Leonard on the court early in the fourth quarter and began to achieve success.

Without Ariza and Tang Tian, ​​the Pelicans' substitute strength is indeed weak.

In the second quarter, Harris made a surprise attack, but Harris was still very immature after all, and he failed to hit twice in this quarter.

The Spurs also played steadily, getting closer to the score little by little.

By the time there were about 8 minutes left before the end of the game and both sides replaced their main players one after another, the Spurs had already tied the score.

A game that was expected to be one-sided did not happen. After competing for more than three quarters, the two sides entered the final 8-minute decisive moment.
