Chapter 977 Tang Tian: Tonight’s Game Intensity Is Lower than the Training Game (Second Update!)

James broke through and scored a goal to help the Cavaliers continue to score.

But looking back, Tang Tian passed another pick-and-roll pass to Davis, and Davis scored another 2 points.

Lu and Drew stood on the sidelines with solemn expressions.

After so many rounds, as long as they are not stupid, they already know that the Pelicans have a response in advance.

The Warriors' tactics were no longer effective against Tang Tian.

Whiteside's shot in the frontcourt missed, and Tang Tian scored a goal after returning from the pick-and-roll.

8 to 4, the Pelicans firmly occupied the initiative on the court.

"This is unreasonable."

Lu was still puzzled.

Even if the Pelicans know the tactics in advance and conduct training in advance, it is impossible that there will be no effect at all.

"Maybe it's because our defensive capabilities are not as good as the Warriors."

Drew hesitated for a moment before speaking.

He is a sensible person.

The same tactics, used by different people, will exert different powers. It can even be said to be completely different.

The simplest example is the Princeton tactics at the beginning of the century. The Kings played it very smoothly, but the Rockets used it mediocrely.

The biggest reason for this is the players.

The Cavaliers' wings and overall defense are much worse than the Pelicans and Warriors.

Lu was stunned for a moment, but he realized it later.

The tactics prepared by Lu and Drew before the game did not work at all. After the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 9 points 30-21.

The fans at the scene are still waiting.

They don't know the game between the two teams, they are just waiting for the targeted tactics Whiteside said.

The Pelicans scored 30 points in the first quarter, and Tang Tian contributed 10 points and 5 assists.

In their opinion, the Cavaliers definitely didn't use that tactic.

After all, this kind of thing is a rare trick, a bottom-of-the-box trick that will only be used at critical moments.

So they kept waiting.

In the second quarter, Lu and Drew changed their tactics and no longer targeted Tang Tian, ​​but used simple one-on-one marking.

The Pelicans' response made them unable to guard Tang Tian or anyone else in the first quarter, so they changed their thinking.

As a result, in the second quarter, Tang Tian got more shooting opportunities and scored 16 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Under his leadership, the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by 15 points 58-43 at halftime.

Tang Tian was in hot form at halftime, having scored 26 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, without making any mistakes!

The fans at the scene were whispering to each other in confusion.

The rhythm of this game is wrong!

Tang Tian almost scored 30 points at halftime, and the Cavaliers were also behind by a full 15 points.

Why doesn't Lu use that targeted tactic? !

As the game entered halftime, not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans on the hotline began to talk about it.

Are the Cavaliers going to stage a half-court counterattack like the Pelicans?

"Could it be that the tactics were used, but it didn't work?"

Some fans raised doubts, but they were quickly drowned out by other voices.

How can it be!

Tang Tian was in hot form from the beginning and was not restricted at all. This was completely different from G6 of the Western Conference Finals.

If you say you have used it, no one will believe it.

At the end of the discussion, fans almost unanimously believed that the Cavaliers were holding back their big move and waiting for CD.

In the second half, James and Irving led the Cavaliers to launch an 8-2 offensive, closing the point difference to single digits.

Fans at the venue and on the hotline were excited.

Sure enough, their guess was correct. The Cavaliers were going to repeat the Pelicans' last desperate counterattack!

But at this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The Pelicans increased their defensive intensity, and the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency declined.

Tang Tian stepped forward again, making sudden throws and passes, and beat the Cavaliers 8-0, widening the point difference again.

And they never let the Cavaliers get closer to the score.

Facts have proved that, as shown in the opening game, the Cavaliers' state tonight is much worse than in the previous game.

The wave of attacks at the beginning of the third quarter was just a reflection of the personal abilities of James and Irving.

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were almost 20 points behind!

At this time, not only the fans at the scene and on the hotline, but also the photographers gave Lu a close-up for a long time.

That seemed to be urging.

What about the agreed-upon tactics? Use it quickly!

Lu looked at himself appearing on the large LED screen with a slightly embarrassed expression.

There is a hole in your brain, why am I zooming in now?

The team is not in good condition, so I am of use to you!

Look at James!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, JR Smith led the team to close the point difference again, narrowing the point difference to less than 15 points.

But the main players from both sides came back, and the Pelicans held firm and maintained the point difference until the end.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Cavaliers 110-96 on the road and took a 3-1 lead!

Tang Tian felt hot and scored a huge triple-double of 41 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists! Davis also had 31 points and 11 rebounds.

The two played like Jordan + Pippen, and the Cavaliers completely lost their temper.

After the game, everyone looked confused.

What about the targeted tactics mentioned? !

What about guarding against Tang Tian as promised? !

Nothing!

What a deceiver!

"I'm afraid this is just a smoke bomb..."

"Yes, Tang is the number one player in the league. He may be restricted once, but he won't be restricted a second time?"

"No, if you watch the video carefully, the Cavaliers defended like the Warriors, but it didn't work at all!"

"You are still insisting on your point of view. I'm going to watch the video."

"Hey! It's true. LeBron and Whiteside's defensive positions are the same as those of the Warriors, but...it's completely useless!"

"Is this the legendary, I came in! You came in?"

"I suspect you are driving, and I have sufficient evidence!"

"This is really boring at first glance. The Cavaliers' targeted tactics are too bad. There is no feeling at all!"

"It's cool now, 1 to 3, the legendary targeted tactics are nothing."

"The championship belongs to the Pelicans!"

"I suddenly felt that I might as well not sign Whiteside, this guy is really toxic!"

"LeBron Never Takes the Blame James?"

"LeBron is awesome when he wins, but his teammates are terrible when they lose. It's so true."

…

As soon as the game ended, the discussion on social media reached a peak.

But after fans discovered that the Cavaliers' targeted tactics were completely ineffective, they already looked down upon them.

However, the atmosphere at the Pelicans' postgame press conference was quite lively.

Leading 3-1, the Pelicans got match point and were only one step away from defending their title.

"What's your biggest feeling about this game? This is the game where the team suppressed the opponent for so many games in the finals."

The reporter from TNT asked Tang Tian.

"Well... I think the intensity of the competition is lower than the intensity of our team's training matches."

After Tang Tian thought for a moment, he spoke.

ps: It’s the end of the month, and the monthly tickets are about to expire. Commanders, vote for the lovely, hard-working, motivated, but uglier than you!
