Chapter 423 Why Do We Love Basketball (Third!)

Although he missed consecutive shots before, Tang Tian still showed his big heart ability as usual at the critical moment.

This three-pointer is priceless!

Mark Jackson reached out and called a timeout.

"It's the first time Don has scored 40 points this season, and it's the first time in his career."

The commentator broadcasts to the fans in front of the TV immediately.

"Godfather! Godfather!"

I don't know who started to lead the sidelines, and there was a neat cheer.

Tang Tian's career night was worthy of such cheers!

Feeling the enthusiasm of the home fans, Tang Tian reached out to greet them.

The cheers of the fans at the scene broke through the peak in an instant.

Tang Tian didn't continue to interact with the fans after waving, but surrounded Williams with his teammates to listen to the tactics.

The game is not over yet.

Although leading by 4 points in the last 50 seconds is considered a good advantage, the game is not over yet.

Williams' arrangement is aimed at the outside. For the Pelicans, it is acceptable to be scored by the opponent for two points, but three points are not allowed.

"We need to pay more attention to their mismatches. The Warriors like to play this."

After Williams finished setting up his tactics and his teammates moved forward, Tang Tian reminded them again.

The team members nodded one after another.

After the timeout, both sides have personnel adjustments.

On the Pelicans side, Aminu replaced Gordon to defend the ball, and the Warriors also replaced Bogut on Barnes to strengthen the offensive end.

A crucial round.

Curry took the ball to the frontcourt, Thompson and Barnes both fell to the two bottom corners, and Iguodala and Lee made double pick-and-rolls at the free throw line.

Curry chose David Lee's side.

Tang Tian bypassed the pick-and-roll and chased after Curry, without giving him a chance.

But at this moment, the Warriors had an off-ball pick-and-roll from the free throw line, and Lee misplaced Aminu.

Curry sprinted to the hoop and passed the ball back to Lee.

Tang Tian's prediction was accurate, and the Warriors really found a wrong position!

After Li turned around, he shot the board.

But at this moment, Davis's assist defense came, and his long arms were stretched out.

"boom!"

A pegboard hat!

After Davis blocked the shot, he took advantage of the defensive rebound!

A key defense for the Pelicans!

Williams didn't wait for the Warriors to come forward and press, and called a timeout!

In 40 seconds, with a 4-point lead and possession of the ball, as long as there are no mistakes, the Pelicans have a great chance of winning!

After the pause, the other team members looked at Tang Tian differently from before.

The Warriors unexpectedly missed Curry and Thompson's double shots in this attack. If Tang Tian hadn't reminded them in advance, they might not have been able to defend against it.

Back from the timeout, Gordon and Anderson replaced Aminu and Jason Smith on the Pelicans side, and Bogut replaced Barnes on the Warriors side.

The two sides changed hands again.

The previous round was crucial, this round directly determines life and death.

If the Warriors want to win, they must first defend the round, then quickly hit a three-pointer, and then foul tactics.

The Pelicans home fans have all stood up. They haven't experienced this life-and-death moment at home for a long time.

And this time it is still a strong enemy like the Warriors.

Davis sent the ball from the sidelines, and Holiday received the ball with his back against Curry to press the time.

40 seconds, the Pelicans will at least have to press within 30 seconds before launching an offense.

Time passed bit by bit, and the tension in the hearts of the fans also increased little by little.

When the time came to 30 seconds, the Pelicans had a pick-and-roll ball from outside, and Gordon and Tang Tian ran out one left and one right.

After the pick and roll, Davis and Anderson went to the basket and the other to the corner three-point line.

The tactical arrangement of the Pelicans is very confusing.

However, Anderson's pick-and-roll quality is average, and Gordon has little chance.

Holiday flicked the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian caught the ball outside the three-point line and made a direct pull.

The hearts of the fans at the scene rushed to their throats suddenly.

You must know that in the previous round, Tang Tian hit the key three-pointer like this!

Iguodala also jumped out.

But Tang Tian didn't really cast, he was just a fake move.

After receiving the ball and waiting for Iguodala to fly past, he directly pulled the ball back, and then broke through with a cat waist!

Excellent abdominal strength!

Tang Tian quickly rushed to the inside from the three-point line.

Because the Pelicans had tactical cooperation before, Bogut had already switched to the outside line, and it was Thompson who switched to the inside line at this time.

Thompson quickly came to the defense.

Tang Tian didn't stop, he directly went up to fight, pushing Thompson to the inside and making a shot.

Thompson tried hard to block the shot, but was forcibly blocked in the air.

"Snapped!"

His hand hit Tang Tian's arm, but after Tang Tian knocked him away, he still managed to complete the shot steadily in the air.

"beep!"

"Shua!"

The referee whistled, and Tang Tian threw the ball through a small arc in the air before falling steadily into the net bag!

2+1!

"It's over! It's over!"

The commentator shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

This 2+1 gave the Pelicans a lead of at least 6 points 22 seconds before the whistle!

And Tang Tian has an additional penalty!

Even if the Warriors have McGrady, 22 seconds is not enough!

Mark Jackson's last timeout, no need to call!

Gordon and Davis couldn't help but excitedly rushed to Tang Tian's side and shouted.

Tang Tian wanted to shout, but found that he didn't have much energy.

In this round, attack first, then defend after attacking, and then attack after defending, his stamina bar has completely bottomed out.

Tang Tian's opportunity for additional penalties, if he hits another penalty, the Warriors will be the salted fish on the chopping board, and it is a certainty.

Tang Tian went to the free throw line, adjusted his breathing, and then shot.

"Shua!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.

The Pelicans lead by 7 points!

The game is over.

Curry missed a 3-pointer, Bogut grabbed an offensive rebound, Thompson made another 3-pointer, and Tang Tian assisted in defending the past due to interference and failed to make it.

Davis grabbed the final defensive rebound, the final whistle sounded, and the Pelicans finally defeated the Warriors 116-109!

After Tang Tian threw himself on Thompson, his legs were limp and he collapsed to the ground. He was lying there panting heavily.

But he was indescribably happy in his heart.

Won the first 40+ win in his career. Although he was exhausted, he was more refreshing than when he was in the Spurs.

Maybe this is what it feels like to win the game with one hand!

The streamers were sprayed and the fans were cheering.

Davis and Holiday walked to Tang Tian's side at this moment, and stretched out their hands to pull him up from the ground.

After Tang Tian got up, he looked at the two people, and then at the fans in the audience, those Chinese fans who came from thousands of miles away.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, Tang Tian suddenly felt full of strength and was not tired at all.

He laughed too.

Perhaps, this is why we love basketball.

Because there are brothers, because there are fans, because we can cheer and laugh together after the victory!
