Chapter 1227 Only Tang Tian Can Understand

1 to 3.

After the game, the Spurs players left the arena looking frustrated.

70 wins, the strongest record in team history, with the Big Three lineup of Leonard, George and Aldridge, plus the coaching of Popovich.

As a result, after four games in the series, the score was already at this point, and they were only one step away from elimination.

The Pelicans, after winning this home court, successfully got the match point!

The game was over, and the fans stayed at the scene for a long time, roaring and shouting together.

They are getting closer and closer to their goal of four consecutive championships, and they are more confident than ever at this moment.

"This Pelicans team is seriously underestimated. Although they only ranked third in the regular season, their true strength is equal to or even better than the Lakers and Spurs!"

In the TNT post-game show, Barkley boasted about the Pelicans.

He scored 130 points and beat the Spurs by 25 points. No matter which one he scored, he was worthy of such praise.

"There is no doubt that the playoffs are the stage for superstars, and Don is the biggest one!

Hey, Charles, you should have come back last summer and joined the Pelicans so you could have a championship ring. "

O'Neal continued his stable output, not only playing Tang Tian, ​​but also not forgetting Barkley.

"They now not only have Don, but also AD. AD's performance in the playoffs this year has improved greatly. He is one of the best big men in the league."

Kenny Smith did not forget to add.

Despite Tang Tian's dazzling aura, Davis, as the only insider in the United States, has always been praised by media experts.

Not to mention that Davis is really playing well now.

"They will end this series on the road. Don hasn't really shown his strength yet. The next game will be fierce, but the Pelicans will win the next one."

Barkley glanced at O'Neal with disdain and then quickly changed the subject, using his professional eyes to analyze in advance.

"I agree, Leonard and George can limit Don, but the Spurs can't limit Don and AD at the same time."

Smith followed suit.

"I agree, they will end the series after the next game. I'm looking forward to them meeting the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. That will be interesting, Thanos and the Avengers."

O'Neill also nodded.

His words also elicited laughter from Barkley and Smith.

The Marvel movie "Avengers 4: Endgame" was released in North America at the end of April and is now being screened around the world, with a box office explosion.

Both James and Durant have been defeated by Tang Tian many times, and now they are like the Avengers gathering in the Lakers.

And what they have to face is their opponent, Don Thanos.

In the movie, the Avengers had the last laugh, now it's up to the NBA to see who wins.

O'Neal's metaphor sparked a flurry of discussion among fans on social media.

Considering the current hot topics, and the metaphor is appropriate, O'Neal's remarks are not appropriate unless they are explosive.

And fans unanimously agree with the predictions of the TNT Big Three.

Popovich made the best adjustments, but the Pelicans are in such good shape, and with Tang Tian's bug, it's really difficult to lose.

If the Pelicans hadn't become a arrogant team in the third game, the Pelicans would have swept the Spurs and are close to the Western Conference Finals.

The day before the game, the entire Pelicans team arrived in San Antonio again to prepare for Game 5 of the series.

With a big score of 3-1 and three match points in hand, the Pelicans are in good shape to advance.

However, there are lessons learned from the third game. Both the coaching staff and the players are very serious during training sessions.

Moreover, training was arranged on the day the Pelicans arrived and on the morning of the game day, which shows that the whole team attaches great importance to this game.

They all know that there is no benefit to playing a protracted battle with the Spurs. They all want to end the series in the evening game, and they are all ready to do so.

After the training session, the players returned to the locker room to take a shower.

Davis came out of the shower and saw Tang Tian sitting there as if he had something on his mind.

"What's wrong?"

He wrapped himself in a bath towel and sat on the stool next to Tang Tian.

"Um?"

Tang Tian raised his head and looked at him.

"You seem to have something on your mind? Is it San? Or is there something wrong with Yongqi and the others?"

Davis asked.

Tang Tian was calm and calm in everything, only people, and only his family could make him like this.

But to Davis' surprise, Tang Tian shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Green had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. He heard what the two exchanged and leaned over.

"Are you worried that the old man will do something weird again at night?"

Tang Tian smiled when he heard it, without nodding or shaking his head.

He has something on his mind, but he can't tell others because it involves secrets.

"With you and AD here, we will win. Nothing the old man can do is useless."

After experiencing the last game, Green is also very confident in the team.

Tang Tian nodded.

Hope his worries are unnecessary.

That night, Game 5 of the series between the Pelicans and Spurs kicked off at ATT Arena.

The arena was packed with seats. Although the team was trailing 3-1, the Spurs had been strong for more than ten years and the fans' loyalty was very high.

After the opening ceremony, the starters for both teams were announced one after another.

This time Popovich changed his lineup again and returned to the starting lineup from the third game, with Bertans serving as the starting power forward.

The Pelicans continued the starting lineup from the previous game, with Robinson still serving as the starting center.

The lineups of both sides are actually a game. It depends on whether the Spurs can defeat the Pelicans inside first, or whether Bertans will be defeated by the Pelicans first.

The game started soon, and Robinson still jumped high and called the ball back to half court, giving the Pelicans the first opportunity to attack.

Tang Tian played a pick-and-roll with Davis in the frontcourt. Davis received Tang Tian's return pass and hit a mid-range shot, showing his excellent competitive state.

This performance also made the Pelicans fans on the hotline climax.

The Pelicans have won every game Davis played well in the past, and there is a high probability that the Pelicans will win tonight too.

But in the next round, Leonard broke through Green and passed Robinson for a one-handed dunk.

This dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the fans at the scene.

Leonard dunked on a layup and was very determined to hit the basket. His desire to attack tonight was very strong.

The Pelicans had another outstanding performance on the offensive end. Siakam double-teamed and passed the ball to Davis, and Davis responded with a heavy dunk with both hands.

The Pelicans look as good tonight as they did last game!

However, in the next round, Leonard forced his way past Green again and took a shot that caused Robinson's hitter to foul.

He walked to the free throw line with an expressionless face and made both free throws steadily.

Tang Tian also made an emergency stop after breaking through in the frontcourt.

But in the next round, Leonard used Aldridge's pick-and-roll to continue to drive to the basket. Not only did he score, he also caused Robinson's second hitter foul.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Leonard scored 6 points in a row after the opening, and more importantly, he caused two personal fouls on Robinson!

Stevens could only replace Robinson with Siakam, which is tantamount to declaring that the Pelicans' starting lineup tonight has failed!

However, Leonard, who scored 2+1, remained expressionless and just walked straight to the free throw line to prepare for extra penalties.

That's very Leonard.

Tang Tian was outside the three-point line at this time. He looked at Leonard, with a small emotion flashing in his eyes.

He had been prepared for Leonard's performance tonight, and only he understood it.
