Chapter 1199 Don’t touch me...it smells so good! (24! Please vote for me!)
But the head was already touched and he didn't say anything else.
That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Warriors started.
Curry and Thompson started the game hot and connected with each other from the three-point line.
The Splash Brothers faced Tang Ritian, and the two teams were inseparable in the first quarter.
After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 40.
In the transition period between substitutes at the beginning of the second quarter, both teams were the main players leading substitutes.
Kuzma also got a chance to play at this stage.
He came up and ran for two rounds before getting a chance.
He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, then used the three-pointer to contain Iguodala, and went inside to score 2+1.
His self-confidence was strengthened in the last game. When he scored the 2+1, you could feel that his whole spirit on the court was different.
Tang Tian's previous judgment was indeed correct.
Self-confidence is just like the power function in mathematics. Two times, four times, eight times... the increase is amazing.
Not only Kuzma, Alexander, who was caressed by Tang Tian again, also continued his previous outstanding performance.
The two substitutes performed bravely, and the Pelicans successfully opened the point difference to double digits during this substitute transition period.
Although the substitute transition period has passed, Curry and Thompson have continued to be in hot shape after returning.
But the Pelicans still maintained this lead until halftime.
In the third quarter, Thompson went out alone to fight against Tang Tian. The point difference between the two teams fluctuated around 10 points.
However, this stalemate was broken by the substitute transition period in the third and fourth quarters.
Kuzma and Alexander worked together to launch a wave of attacks and successfully opened the point difference to about 15 points.
The tone of the game was basically set.
Tang Tian's steady performance in the final moments helped the Pelicans win the game 126-113.
Tang Tian contributed a large triple-double of 40 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists, continuing to expand the record of 40+ triple-doubles in a single season.
Kuzma had 17 points and 5 rebounds, and Alexander had 11 points and 5 assists. The two performed well for the second consecutive game.
After the game, the players returned to the locker room to take a shower.
Due to his outstanding performance, Kuzma was arranged by Stevens to attend the post-game press conference with Tang Tian.
The two of them walked towards the press conference.
"Boss, are you telling the truth?"
When there was no one around, Kuzma remembered what Tang Tian had said during the day and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What?"
Tang Tian didn't understand what Kuzma was talking about.
Kuzma saw Tang Tian looking at him and reached out to touch his head.
This is very vivid and more useful than anything else.
After Tang Tian came to his senses, he couldn't help laughing.
Hey, people, you don’t believe it until you’ve seen it.
He finished laughing and then nodded seriously.
But Kuzma just nodded.
After seeing Tang Tian's huge reaction, he felt like he was being tricked for the second time.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment. He still didn't believe what he saw in Kuzma's eyes.
But this time he just smiled and didn't explain much.
He also realized that this kind of thing that seemed to be outside common sense and similar to metaphysics could not be believed.
Post-match press conference.
Tang Tian is still the best player in the game, but the media are already used to his performance.
Therefore, compared to Tang Tian, reporters prefer to ask questions to Kuzma, who is attending such an occasion for the first time, and many of them have nothing to do with the game.
Some reporters even asked about his scandal with Jenner.
Tang Tian listened and couldn't laugh or cry.
Kuzma, on the other hand, responded fluently in front of the media and spoke in an orderly manner.
"You have been in excellent form in the last two games. What happened to you in the team?"
Finally, an ESPN reporter asked a serious question.
The question was a very serious question, but Kuzma, who had responded fluently before, suddenly fell silent and turned to look at Tang Tian.
If he said it was because Tang Tian touched his head, would he be beaten to death by the media reporters below?
"The coaching staff and teammates have been helping me regain my form. I have trained hard and I believe that I have regained my form in these two games."
Although Kuzma paused, he finally gave an excellent answer.
Tang Tian couldn't help but praise him.
Speaking of Kuzma's successful career with the Lakers in history, his personality is really suitable for playing in a big city.
After defeating the Warriors, the Pelicans played against the Nets, Grizzlies, and Heat in the next week.
The Pelicans played relatively easily in these three games and successfully extended their winning streak to 10 games.
The Pelicans are on a hot streak.
However, some people are happy and some are worried. Just as the Pelicans continue their winning streak, Kuzma's performance has declined.
Especially in the game against the Heat, he only scored 2 goals in 7 shots and scored 6 points and 3 rebounds. His performance was even considered sluggish.
The Pelicans' next opponent is the Trail Blazers, which is also their last game in February.
The Trail Blazers are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference. Although their performance is not as good as last season, their core lineup is still there and they are an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
Stevens also attaches great importance to this game and arranges daily training two days in advance.
It starts with basic shooting training.
Tang Tian was practicing when he found Kuzma walking towards him.
Ever since he found out that he couldn't convince Kuzma last time, Tang Tian stopped touching Kuzma's head.
He was originally willing to help others on the basis of helping the team. If others didn't want it, like Parker, he wouldn't give it a second try.
Kuzma has never believed in him, so there is no need for him to take the initiative.
Tang Tian was quite curious when he saw Kuzma coming over.
"Boss, can I talk to you about something?"
Kuzma glanced around and lowered his voice.
"What's up?"
Tang Tian asked.
Kuzma saw Alexander and Parker not far away and didn't speak. Instead, he motioned to go to the corner to talk.
Tang Tian was confused, but he didn't agree.
The boss of the team went to the corner to whisper with his teammates. This is not normal at all.
"If you have anything to say, tell me here."
Tang Tian motioned to Kuzma to come closer.
Seeing what Tang Tian said, Kuzma could only bite the bullet and get closer.
Under Tang Tian's confused gaze, Kuzma then spoke.
"Boss, can you touch my head before every game from now on?"
"What??"
Tang Tian thought he heard wrongly.
When Kuzma repeated it very seriously, Tang Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Is this really fragrant? !
Seeing Kuzma's slightly embarrassed expression and the curious looks that Alexander and Parker cast their way towards, Tang Tian put away his smile.
"Can."
Then he looked at Kuzma seriously, nodded more seriously, and reached out to touch his head.
This flat head feels really good.
