Chapter 965 Chapter 998~Chapter 1000 Four-Doubles in the Playoffs, Approaching the Finals! (Three-in-One, Please Vote for Me!)

When entering the timeout, Tang Tian's statistics were given on the spot.

15 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals.

Tang Tian's data in the first half was very dismal, but after a wave of aggressive moves, many people realized that the data was developing in an incredible direction.

Quadruple-double in the playoffs!

If in the past, someone told you that someone could get a quadruple-double in the playoffs, you would be severely scorned.

You kid didn't wake up! Talking in sleep in broad daylight!

Getting a quadruple-double in the regular season is incredible, but you still want to get it in the playoffs!

That's simply impossible!

Not as strong as Robertson!

But now, they suddenly discovered that Tang Tian actually had this opportunity!

The fans at the scene realized it later and had mixed emotions.

It is a blessing to witness a quadruple-double in the playoffs.

But if they see the Pelicans come back and eliminate them, that's definitely not what they want.

But as far away as the New Orleans Arena on the South Coast, New Orleans fans are already completely excited.

At halftime, they, like the fans on the hotline, thought a tiebreaker was inevitable.

Even the first few rounds of the second half made them more convinced of this.

Some of them began to comfort themselves, and it was not unacceptable to play the tiebreaker at their home court.

But Tang Tian's operation in this period made them realize one thing, the game is not over yet, everything is possible!

Not just a win, but a four-double!

After the timeout, the Warriors' offensive rhythm obviously slowed down.

Tang Tian's three consecutive steals scared the Warriors. Kerr didn't want it, and the Warriors players didn't want a fourth steal either.

Such patience has its advantages and disadvantages.

In a wave of offense in the last few seconds, Green's pass, when Tang Tian suddenly shot out from the side, his hand shook, and the ball went directly out of bounds...

There was a commotion at the scene, and Cole reached out to slap his forehead.

Tang Tian's three consecutive steals obviously put a lot of pressure on the Warriors.

In the Pelicans' frontcourt battle, Tang Tian ran a fake screen without the ball, suddenly cut inside from the three-point line, received Brogdon's pass, and after confronting Durant, scored the ball.

The referee on the sidelines also blew the whistle, this is 2+1!

The Pelicans bench was in a state of excitement.

Stevens also secretly clenched his fists.

When Tang Tian plays without the ball, his offensive threat is certainly not as great as when he plays with the ball, but when Tang Tian plays without the ball, it will be more difficult to defend than with the ball!

Because you don't know what he will choose next, whether to attack or not to attack, whether to catch the ball or cut in!

This is also the reason why it is difficult for the Splash Brothers to be restricted. Their off-ball movement is basically impossible to be completely restricted.

Tang Tian steadily hit the extra free throw, and the point difference has reached 9 points!

Cole really started to worry at this time. The scene in front of him was too similar to that in G3.

Although the Warriors had a larger lead and more time to the end of the game, the Pelicans still caught up!

At the critical moment, it was Thompson who ran to catch the ball from the outside and faced the defense and scored his seventh three-pointer of the game!

When the ball hit the net, the entire Oracle Arena was boiling.

Cole also cursed excitedly.

This goal is extremely crucial.

And in the next round, Thompson showed his defensive skills and helped defend Green to prevent Davis' shot.

This offense and defense perfectly echoed the names of the fans on the hotline.

G6 soup!

"Snapped!"

But before the cheers of the fans died down, Tang Tianshen appeared and suddenly turned around while running and snatched the ball from Curry's hand from behind!

Tang Tian's 7th steal!

This time he stole the ball from the outside in. After stealing the ball, he passed the ball from the backcourt to Holiday who rushed out. The latter made a fast break layup and scored 2 points!

The score difference is back to 10 points!

But looking back, Thompson's cut caused Davis' hitter.

After two free throws, the point difference returned to 12 points!

G6 Tang showed off its power again in the third quarter. In the remaining minutes of this quarter, the two sides also fell into a stalemate.

After three quarters, the score on the court was 75 to 87, and the Pelicans still trailed the Warriors by 12 points.

Cole was tense in the third quarter, but during the break, his mental state finally relaxed a little.

Although the maximum point difference of 22 points was chased to 12 points, in terms of quarters, in the third quarter, the Pelicans only chased a 5-point difference.

As long as the Warriors hold firm and remain as deadlocked as they were in the second half of the third quarter, they still have great hope of winning G6.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Cole put Thompson, who had played the entire third quarter, off the court to rest, and put Durant and Green on the court to lead the team.

This formation is quite stable.

The Pelicans also have two starters and three substitutes, but it is worth noting that Tang Tian started the game at the beginning of the fourth quarter just like in the previous game.

In the fourth quarter, the Pelicans took the lead. Tang Tian changed his style of play in the third quarter, holding the ball from the outside and continuously breaking through the Warriors' defense for layups.

Returning to the defensive end, he continued to lock down Durant. Green had no chance to hold the ball at the top of the arc. He shot a three-pointer but it hit the back edge and hit the frame.

Diaw received the defensive rebound and the Pelicans counterattacked defensively. Brogdon received the ball and made a layup and scored 2 points.

Green assisted Livingston, who was cutting in the air, and the latter's turn and fade was textbook.

But this ball was predicted by Tang Tian. He interfered from behind Livingston. The ball didn't come, but his shot after dodging was a miss!

The Warriors retreated quickly. The Pelicans switched positions on the fast break, and it was Tang Tian again. After breaking through, he turned around and fell back from the double team!

The point difference is only 6 points!

Tang Tian opened the fourth quarter and swept away the sluggish feel in the first three quarters and succeeded in consecutive singles!

Cole immediately called a timeout.

There was a commotion.

They guarded Tang Tian for three quarters, but Tang Tian still broke out in the last quarter!

Tang Tian's outburst came suddenly, but Brin and Miller in the commentary box didn't find it strange.

The Warriors' defense tonight was very successful, but in addition to the system, defense also depends on who is defending.

The wing combination of Thompson plus Durant and Iguodala is comparable to the Pelicans' Holiday, Tang Tian and Ariza on the defensive end.

Therefore, the Warriors deployed defense against Tang Tian's only weakness after the start, and it worked successfully.

But the defense of McCaw and Speights who came on the bench was obviously not on the same level.

The same strategy has different effects.

Including their effectiveness in preventing the Pelicans' defensive counterattacks, they have also become weaker.

This is also why in NBA games, the higher the level, the fewer rotations there are.

It is difficult for a team to have so many players who have reached a high level.

Cole obviously knows this too.

After returning from the timeout, he was quite decisive. Except for Livingston, who took Thompson's position, all the other four starters returned.

After the main force returned, the field returned to a stalemate again.

Tang Tian's offense was further restricted, and the Pelicans' momentum of chasing points quickly stopped.

Five minutes before the end of the game, the score was 99 to 105, and the Pelicans were still 6 points behind.

Tang Tian got 3 rebounds in this period, including an offensive rebound, and also sent 2 assists, but he only scored 2 points.

24 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 steals.

The data looks beautiful, but the problem now is that the Pelicans cannot further narrow the point difference.

Super giants have the ability to adjust themselves. Tang Tian, ​​as the super giant among super giants, has already demonstrated this ability in the second half.

But the problem now is that he needs to do better.

"Come on Warriors!"

The point difference is maintained, the time until the end is getting shorter and shorter, and their chances of winning G6 are getting bigger and bigger.

Amid the cheers, G6 Tang showed his prowess again, catching the ball and scoring 3+1 against Brogdon's defense.

The entire Oracle Arena was boiling.

This 3+1 almost killed the game!

After Thompson landed, he made a protective movement to roll back, but he stood up and roared the next second.

He scored 41 points tonight, this is his night!

"Clay! Clay!"

Fans chanted Thompson's name before he went to the free throw line.

This is the first time such a scene has happened at Oracle Arena.

It's a pity that Thompson missed the extra free throw and the rebound was protected by Davis.

The Warriors retreated quickly. With a 9-point deficit, their chances were very good.

Davis turned around and made a layup. He pushed the ball out hard, but Curry predicted the ball and intercepted it in advance.

The Warriors defended another attack from the Pelicans!

After Curry successfully intercepted the ball, he turned around and threw the ball forward. Durant was already on the fast break.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as the ball left his hand, Tang Tian took advantage of Iguodala's size to steal the ball away without a trace!

Before anyone could react, Tang Tian had already completed the steal.

And just when Curry and Iguodala were about to pounce on him, he flicked the ball back to Davis under the basket.

Davis scored with an unguarded two-handed dunk.

7 points.

The Pelicans still have a chance!

“Don was in terrible shape on the offensive end tonight, but he really shined on the defensive end.”

Brin couldn't help but sigh in the commentary box.

"Yes, he puts more energy and physical strength into defense. This is the strength of the four-time Defensive Player of the Year."

Miller chimed in.

Tang Tian is now moving forward with a quadruple-double. Just like Jordan's previous record of 63 points in the playoffs, winning or losing is no longer the most important thing.

Thompson caught the ball again and missed a three-pointer, and Davis collected another defensive rebound.

The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack, and Tang Tian's iconic behind-the-back pass on the fast break was passed to Holiday, who followed up with a layup and scored 2 points.

After the start of the second half, the score difference reached 5 points for the first time!

With more than 3 minutes left, the fans in the Oracle Arena began to panic.

"Snapped!"

Just when they were panicking, Tang Tian completed another steal. This time, the object of the steal was his hard-working brother Thompson.

He successfully anticipated the Warriors' off-ball tactics and saved the steal when Thompson cut inside.

His 9th steal of the game!

This time he stole the ball and ran to the frontcourt to score a layup.

The score difference is only 3 points!

A gap of one ball!

With the Pelicans trailing by up to 22 points, they forced the score to 3 points!

Cole called timeout again.

Tang Tian's data was once again displayed on the large LED screen at the scene.

26 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists and 9 steals.

The playoff quadruple-double is really coming!

"Incredible! Incredible!"

Brin was amazed again and again. This was really a scene he had never encountered in his more than 20 years of commentary career.

Tang Tian, ​​while leading the Pelicans to narrow the point difference step by step, is also moving towards the incredible achievement of a quadruple-double in the playoffs!

"Maybe for Warriors players, basketball is a little hot right now."

Miller joked from the side.

"Calm down, calm down, we are still 3 points ahead, we are still ahead, look at me, we are still ahead!"

Tang Tian's continuous steals made the Warriors panic a little, and Cole was trying to calm down the players' emotions.

"We have to win, Kevin, Stephen, we have to win!"

Green also shouted to Curry and Durant at this time.

Thompson has overfulfilled his part, and now at the last moment, Curry and Thompson need to step up.

After the timeout, the Warriors' frontcourt continued to cooperate. Curry came out to catch the ball and hit his iconic three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.

The moment he took action, the nerves of the fans at the scene were instantly tense.

They really needed this goal.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound, Curry responded to them!

Ku Ritian!

Oracle Arena was instantly on fire.

Curry made this crucial three-pointer!

The score difference is back to 6 points again!

Stevens shook his head helplessly. This kind of three-pointer really hurt morale.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene cheered in unison.

Tang Tian had no chance at all when he was heavily targeted without the ball in the frontcourt, and the Pelicans didn't have much time left to attack.

The ball finally came to Brogdon, a chance, not a good one.

He chose to take a shot, and Iguodala blocked the shot.

"Snapped!"

Hit Brogdon's hand.

Brogdon showed superhuman mental quality. He didn't dodge when he was about to be blocked, and the ball just passed Iguodala's fingertips.

"Uh-huh!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the ball also went through the center and into the net.

3+1!

Incredible 3+1!

Fans on the hotline have gone crazy.

At the critical moment, Brogdon stood up!

This ball seems to be saying to all those who questioned him before: I am a rookie, but I am the best rookie!

"This is the most exciting game!"

Breen exclaimed in the commentary box.

"This is a game with no losers!"

Miller chimed in.

The excitement of the game made both of their old commentators throw away the outcome.

Brogden hit an extra penalty despite the interference, and the point difference was only 2 points!

There is still more than a minute to go. Such an exciting scene makes people's hearts feel like they are about to burst out.

Fans on the hotline even said they dared not watch it.

But just like the fans who cover their eyes with their hands but spread their fingers apart, they still want to watch such a game no matter how scared they are.

Green continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.

The Warriors' tactical movement off the ball.

But at this moment, Stevens made an unexpected tactical arrangement, and Holiday suddenly let Curry go to pinch Green.

This flanking attack was too sudden and too incredible.

Green reacted quickly enough and threw the ball directly in Curry's direction, but the temporary pass was a little hasty and was touched by Holiday's fingertips.

The ball changed its trajectory and headed toward where Brogdon and Thompson were.

Thompson was the first to touch the ball, and he used his other hand to completely control the ball.

But at this moment, a figure that he was all too familiar with came into his sight.

Tang Tian!

"Snapped!"

A desperate voice appeared in his ears, and Tang Tian ruthlessly took the ball away from his hands that he had not completely controlled!

Tang Tian's 10th steal of the game!

"No!"

Thompson shouted in his mind.

The fans at the scene also shouted in their hearts.

But no one can stop or change what has happened.

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he rushed forward and no one else could catch up.

"Bang!"

A ruthless two-handed dunk, Tang Tian was completely merciless and slammed the ball into the basket.

111 flat!

With only 45 seconds left before the end, the Pelicans tied the score!

Both sides are standing on the same starting line!

Stevens pumped his fist in excitement.

Tang Tian's steal tonight was incredible. This was what he was taking advantage of and betting on.

If Green successfully passed the ball to Curry, then his arrangement was a complete defense failure, but the Pelicans players on the field finally did it! Tang Tian did it!

Cole did not call a timeout, and the Warriors had only the last timeout left.

The ball is in Curry's hands this time.

"Come on Warriors!"

The fans at the scene were shouting. At this time, this was the only way to fully vent their inner tension.

The atmosphere at the scene was overwhelming.

The players on the field are working hard.

The Warriors players worked hard to run the game, and the Pelicans players worked hard to defend.

An accident happened at this moment. Tang Tian was pulled by Green while running around the pick-and-roll, and his shoulder hurt.

However, this action was blocked by Green's body, and the referee did not blow the whistle.

The Warriors failed to block the tactic in the end, and Curry gave the ball to Durant to play Tang Tian alone.

Tang Tian's arm ached slightly, and Green's pull was very painful.

Durant hit Tang Tian with his back and quickly turned over and shot a jumper.

Tang Tian couldn't lift his right hand, so he tried his best to block the shot with his left hand, covering Durant's eyes.

Durant acted completely based on feeling.

"Uh-huh!"

A crisp sound!

The ball went in!

Durant shot the ball against Tang Tian's defense!

One for Curry and one for Durant. After Thompson scored 41 points, at the most critical moment, both of them stood up!

With 29 seconds left in the game, the Warriors got the most critical 2-point lead!

Stevens called a timeout.

"Warriors! Warriors!"

During the timeout, the fans at the scene began to chant the Warriors in unison.

Although the 22-point difference was caught up, they now have the most lethal 2-point lead.

As long as they can defend the Pelicans' final attack, they will be close to the tiebreaker!

At this moment, no one noticed Durant frowning slightly.

When Thompson scores a goal, Thompson's name is shouted on the spot, and the Warriors are shouted when he scores a goal.

Coupled with Green's previous attitude, he always felt like he couldn't fit in with the Warriors and Oakland.

But he quickly shook his head. This may be just his illusion. They must defend this last attack.

"Are you OK?"

On the other side of the court, after calling a timeout, Stevens did not immediately arrange tactics, but walked directly to Tang Tian and asked.

The referee didn't see it, he did, and he shouted to the referee, but the sound on the scene was too noisy and the referee didn't hear it at all.

Tang Tian shook his head and then motioned for the team doctor to come over and check him out.

Only he knows the player's body, and it hurts when he raises his hand.

Stevens quickly called the team doctor over. While he was arranging tactics, Tang Tian listened and asked the team doctor to check.

After spraying some analgesic spray, Tang Tian moved for a while and continued on stage.

In the last 29 seconds, the Pelicans had the ball in the backcourt.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene shouted in unison and the momentum was overwhelming.

Holiday advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and the Pelicans were running tactics.

Trailing by 2 points, their key now is to tie the score first.

Tang Tian was still heavily targeted, and Brogdon had a chance on the other side.

Holiday's ball passed and Brogdon received the ball.

The Warriors quickly returned to defense, and Brogdon's previous 3+1 was still fresh in their minds.

Brogdon's reaction was also quick. When he saw Thompson rushing forward, he shot straight in with a feint.

They are now 2 points behind and are chasing points in the second half. No matter from any perspective, a tie and going into overtime is a good choice.

"Under the basket! Under the basket!"

Cole also realized it and shouted from the sidelines.

At this moment, there was an off-ball movement on the field that no one noticed.

Tang Tian moved from the right side to the bottom corner.

He almost never runs like that during the season, because that's basically where Ariza and Holiday will be.

But this time he did it, and Brogdon saw it.

A long flick.

Tang Tian received the ball and had a three-point chance.

He saw Durant rushing towards him and jumped up.

I have to lament the development of modern medical care. In the past, injuries could only rely on analgesics, but now sprays can achieve the same effect.

His pain is now very mild.

Moreover, he rarely played this position after arriving with the Pelicans, but he often played it with the Spurs.

Everything around him seemed to be still, and he seemed to be back in the Spurs days, hearing Popovich's almost roaring shout in the distance.

"Throw it in!"

The ball is released.

Durant's help defense is still slow.

The ball flew through the air in an arc.

"Uh-huh!"

A crisp sound broke the time barrier, and all the sounds came back in an instant.

Tang Tian hit a three-pointer that was sure to kill him!

When there are only 8 seconds left before the end of the game!

The Pelicans overtook the score!

The hotline exploded.

Oracle Arena exploded.

All the fans in front of the TV exploded.

The Pelicans trailed for almost a whole game, but they took the lead 8 seconds before the end!

Incredible game!

Magical Tang Tian!

The eyes of the fans at Oracle Arena were full of despair.

Counting these three points, Tang Tian scored "only" 29 points tonight.

This score is really not high compared to him.

But this three-pointer is really fatal.

Cole reached out and called a timeout.

The Warriors now have one last chance.

A 1-point difference means there will be no overtime and one goal will determine the outcome.

The fans at the scene felt that they could not catch their breath. Except for the violent beating of their own hearts, other sounds seemed to be completely inaudible.

After the timeout, the Warriors served from the frontcourt.

Curry receives the ball, and the Warriors have a pick-and-roll on the off-ball side.

Durant used Green's pick-and-roll to get rid of Tang Tian.

Curry's pass, Durant's catch.

The last 4 seconds were just right.

Durant turned around and shot.

Turn after receiving the ball, 3 seconds.

Take action, 2 seconds.

But at this moment, he saw a big hand covering his view of the shot, and the angle!

Anthony Davis!

Four years ago, when Tang Tian first came to New Orleans, his trainer Procopio had coached Davis.

He commented at the time that Davis had a chance to become a bigger version of Durant.

In fact, he is one size larger. In the past few years, his height has grown to 2.11 meters, and his body shape has also become one size larger.

If there is someone who can restrain Durant when he jumps up, that person is not Leonard or Tang Tian, ​​but Davis.

Durant has no angle at all, he can only improve the arc.

The ball was released, but it was obviously short.

There was despair in the eyes of the fans at the scene, damn Davis.

The ball was shot without touching anything, and finally fell into Tang Tian's hands.

The next second, the final whistle sounded.

114 to 113!

The Pelicans completed a 22-point reversal, eliminated the Warriors with a total score of 4-2, and advanced to the finals!
