Chapter 889: There Is Not Much Time Left for the Warriors (Fourth Update!)

Both teams rarely play overtime this season because they have Durant on one side and Tang Tian on the other. Both of them are very capable of making key shots.

But now the two sides are playing overtime, which just illustrates their key ball abilities.

The five-minute overtime, especially a focus game like the Christmas game, is a huge physical and psychological test for both sides.

"I'm going to guard Durant."

During the break between sessions, Tang Tian took the initiative to speak to Stevens.

Stevens glanced at Tang Tian and knew that Tang Tian's physical strength had basically reached its limit.

But seeing the look in Tang Tian's eyes, he nodded.

He knew that Tang Tian was not a person who liked to make excuses, and neither was physical fitness.

After the timeout, the Warriors maintained their starting lineup, but the Pelicans made substitution adjustments. Brogdon replaced Ariza.

In the final overtime, Stevens chose to add a stable outside three-pointer.

However, it is a bit confusing that he chose Brogdon instead of Bojan.

And trusting a rookie at the last moment is not something that ordinary head coaches can do.

In overtime, the two sides jumped the ball again, and Davis once again beat Pachulia, giving the Pelicans the first opportunity to attack.

Many fans at the scene could no longer sit still and stood up one after another to watch the game.

Five minutes is neither long nor short, but the intense competition has made them forget the length of time.

Tang Tian was double-teamed as soon as he got the ball in the frontcourt. He gave the ball to Brogdon, who suddenly passed to Davis, who held the ball with one hand and wanted to dunk.

Pachulia blocked him again. On his way forward, he ducked out of the way, but his shot still didn't go in!

This kind of psychological problem cannot be overcome in a short time.

However, Jokic followed up the ball in time and put the ball directly into the basket!

He didn't score much tonight, but this goal was crucial!

There were cheers everywhere.

When the game reaches overtime, both sides have physical problems. At this time, it will be crucial for teammates to step up and share the pressure for Tang Tian.

The Warriors' frontcourt continued to cooperate without a chance, and Curry wanted to repeat his old trick and cause a foul on Brogdon.

Brogdon is a quick learner. The ball didn't slip, Curry didn't get a three-point foul, and the basketball hit the frame.

Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound and the Pelicans counterattacked. Tang Tian received Jokic's long pass from the backcourt, and with a change of pace, he squeezed out Thompson and put the ball in!

100 to 96!

The Pelicans beat the Warriors 4-0 in overtime.

There are only five minutes of overtime, and 4 points is already a big lead.

Thompson ran upfield without the ball, and the Pelicans' defense failed to keep up. He caught the ball and got a good shot.

"Bang!"

But unfortunately, his shot was short, the ball hit the front edge of the basket and bounced out, and the rebound was collected by Davis!

After their physical fitness declined, the Splash Brothers became a blacksmith duo.

Fortunately, after Thompson missed the shot, he quickly retreated and defended Holiday's fast break layup, which was considered as making up for it.

With about three minutes left, the Warriors must score points as quickly as possible.

Curry handed the ball to Durant at this time.

If the splash doesn't work, you can only try Durant.

It was at this moment that the fans noticed that Tang Tian was guarding Durant.

It turns out that the reason Stevens chose Brogdon instead of Bo Yang was because he wanted to move Tang Tian to the third position to guard Durant!

A familiar scene.

When the Pelicans beat the Thunder, Durant, who was guarding Tang Tian, ​​doubted his life.

But this time and that time, the situation now is definitely different from that time.

The Warriors' perimeter containment is definitely better than the Thunder's, and... Durant's eyes are full of fighting spirit now.

Green's motivational words before the game made him very motivated, and he wanted to eat Tang Tiansheng alive from the beginning.

However, due to the tactical arrangements of both sides, the two have never been on top, and now they are finally on top at the critical moment!

If he wants to get rid of Tang Tian's nightmare, he must face Tang Tian directly and then defeat Tang Tian!

Now that both sides are exhausted, it is easier to attack than to defend.

Durant caught the ball and faced Tang Tian head-on, making a drastic change of direction.

Tang Tian didn't move. It seemed that his physical fitness had a great impact on him.

Durant accelerated past Tang Tian and made a sudden stop.

"Snapped!"

But the moment he pulled the ball, something incredible happened again.

His ball... was broken by Tang Tian again...

Tang Tian's physical fitness was at the bottom, but his perseverance was still there. He didn't have much energy to completely block Durant, so he held his breath and took action.

A knowing blow!

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he threw the ball to Holiday. Holiday seized the opportunity this time and quickly broke into the frontcourt to score the ball.

102 to 96!

The score difference has reached 6 points!

The time is less than two and a half minutes!

There is not much time left for the Warriors!

Cole shouted anxiously on the sidelines, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He really didn't want the Pelicans to become his natural enemy.

Green showed his defensive skills, continuously blocking the attacks of Tang Tian and Jokic, and grabbing the defensive rebound.

A little more than two minutes, 6-point shot, there is still a chance!

Curry made a three-pointer without the ball, shook Brogdon and then shot.

"Uh-huh!"

This time Ku Ritian was on the line, hitting three points and one arrow, and the score difference came to 3 points!

The Warriors bench erupted.

Although it’s a little late, it’s still not too late!

However, their excitement didn't last for a while. Tang Tian sent the ball out of the double team, and Brogdon also made a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

answerball!

Stevens gave Brogdon trust, and Brogdon repaid him with this three-pointer!

This rookie is really extraordinary!

More than forty seconds have passed, and there is still a 6-point difference. There is really not much time to save the Warriors!

Curry continued to run without the ball, and he caught the ball again.

Brogdon's learning ability is really good. If he was fouled by Curry before, he could avoid it the second time. He was deflected by Curry just now and he won't be hit this time!

Curry had no chance to get the ball to Durant.

Durant's self-confidence was frustrated when he was intercepted in front of him, but he was not completely broken. He chose to play singles with his back to the basket.

Not much time, he hit his back twice and then made his trademark turnaround jump shot.

This time he avoided Tang Tian's steal, but the moment he took action, he felt a dark cloud above his head.

Tang Tian held his breath and jumped with all his strength. The top of his arm was even with his starting point!

He took action, and Tang Tian's fingertips grazed his basketball.

This is a block!

The blocked ball fell directly into Davis' hands.

The Warriors' offense once again came up empty.

Cole looked up at his watch at this time.

Exactly one minute, 6 points difference.

Now we have to prevent the next wave first before we can talk about whether there is time!
