Chapter 455 40+ in Three Quarters! (Third Update!)
Adelman reached out and rubbed his forehead, and then waved to let the Minnesota players double-team.
Tang Tian, or Tang Tian's teammates.
Two cups of poison, he chose the latter cup.
Tang Tian's state tonight is really good.
Love scored a goal in the frontcourt, and then Tang Tian assisted Morrow with a three-pointer.
It seems that Tang Tian's teammates are also in very good condition tonight.
After halftime, the Pelicans led the Timberwolves by 18 points 65 to 47.
Later in the second quarter, Tang Tian seized the opportunity to score two more goals, scoring 30 points and 6 assists in the half.
If he continues to play like this, either the game will end in three quarters, or Tang Tian will break his career scoring high.
"Keep faith, stick to strategy, they can't all stay in that state for the whole game, I have experienced many games like this in my coaching career."
Although Adelman couldn't help complaining during the first and second quarters, but after the anger passed, he still used his own way to encourage the team.
He has now won 987 wins, and he is only 13 games away from a thousand wins.
The Timberwolves have a bad record, and his contract with the team expires this summer, so this may be his last chance.
So he really needs every win.
On the other side, in the locker room of the Pelicans, Williams completed the deployment of the second half with a relaxed expression.
After he left the locker room, Tang Tian called Mo Luo to his side.
"You took the initiative to pick and roll me in the second half."
Tang Tian exhorted Mo Luo.
The Timberwolves will definitely double-team in the second half. Let Morrow take the initiative to pick and roll at this time, which is tantamount to actively choosing the double-team candidate.
Martin's defense is very average. If he is caught, Morrow's three-pointer will be effective. If he is not caught, he can easily beat Martin.
Moreau nodded.
Ever since Tang Tian gave away the Ferrari, he has basically said what he says in the locker room.
Back in the second half, the starting lineups of both sides were the same as in the first half.
Love came up and scored a goal in the low post.
Although the Timberwolves have been losing, Love's data has never been bad.
The Pelicans were positioned in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian asked for the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.
Morrow took the initiative to put on the pick-and-roll.
This was a temporary change for the Pelicans. Martin hesitated and chose to double-team Tang Tian.
Adelman's tactic is to double-team, whoever is close will double-team, limiting Tang Tian's personal attack.
Martin came over, and Morrow ran outside the top of the arc early because of his preparations.
Tang Tianren passed the ball in between.
Morrow made an open three-pointer after receiving the ball.
"Shua!"
The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.
Morrow made more than 45% of his three-pointers this season, which is the most accurate of the Pelicans. This open three-pointer is really too easy for him.
Adelman bowed his head a little at this time.
God really forsaken them tonight.
Love continued to single Davis in the frontcourt, and he was in a hot state after returning from the second half.
Tang Tian played the same tactic in the frontcourt, this time Brewer chose to defend from behind Morrow.
But his circle around was equivalent to giving Tang Tian room to make a move. Tang Tian pulled it up and threw it away.
The scissor legs of ecstasy.
"Shua!"
Tang Tian made a three-pointer and scored!
His touch has been fully raised in the first half!
And he came back from the halftime break with plenty of energy, and his shots were very stable.
Love was defended by Davis in the frontcourt.
Looking back, it was still Tang Tian, and it was still Morrow's pick and roll.
Both sides are attacking with repeated routines, and it depends on who fails first.
The first time they double-teamed, Morrow scored a three-pointer. The second time Brewer went around the pick-and-roll, Tang Tian threw a three-pointer. This is the third time they chose to switch defenses.
Morrow took Brewer away, and Tang Tian's defender became Martin directly!
ATM!
Looking at Martin's thin body, Tang Tian seemed to see a bunch of colorful dollars.
One step to speed up the confrontation and directly insert.
Martin's confrontation is like paper, and it will go away as soon as it hits.
Pekovis on the inside didn't dare to come out, Tang Tian made a one-step jump from inside the free throw line.
Martin's speed was fairly fast, catching up with the attack that wanted to destroy Tang Tian.
But the slap of the thug was like a breeze blowing on the face, it was not painful or itchy, and it was a bit refreshing.
"Shua!"
The referee blew the whistle, and Tang Tian made a steady push.
This is probably his least difficult 2+1 in this game.
Adelman was left shaking his head in place.
Tell me, what can I do!
In the Kings and Rockets, the strength of the players was enough. Now the two cores of the Timberwolves are defensive colanders.
This coach is really too difficult to be!
The opening rounds of the third quarter almost became the epitome of the entire third quarter.
Because Morrow is always on the pick-and-roll ahead of time, Martin's double-teaming, blocking, and even switching are not.
Tang Tian scored another 10 points in this quarter.
At the end of the three quarters, his score has reached 40 points!
And the Pelicans have already led the Timberwolves by 25 points!
Check in three quarters.
Tang Tian experienced the feeling of the Spurs in the Pelicans.
Really rare.
Davis played for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter and was replaced after helping the team widen the point difference to 30 points.
When Davis came down, Tang Tian noticed that his hair had grown a lot, so he reached out and stroked his head.
Hmm, it feels a lot better.
Davis didn't know why Tang Tian touched his head again, but he turned his head and looked at Tang Tian with a smile, without any resistance.
After waiting for a while, Gordon pulled Davis and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that he will touch your head bald?"
"Will you feel bald?"
Davis' eyes were full of doubts.
"Of course, you don't know Manu Ginobili, right? He was touched by Duncan." Gordon continued.
"Well, then I won't touch him next time." Davis nodded seriously.
Gordon was amused by Davis.
He suddenly felt that it was really time for Tang Tian to appear, otherwise such a cute person would be the boss, and the Pelicans really didn't know that it would take the year of the monkey to get ahead.
The final whistle sounded, and the score on the court was finally fixed at 120-98.
The Pelicans had a big win ahead of the All-Star break.
Love snatched the title of leader of the Kung Fu group from Davis, scoring 32 points and 21 rebounds.
For the Pelicans, after ending their five-game losing streak, they are celebrating their four-game winning streak. Davis is 20+10 and Tang Tian has 40 points in three quarters. Everything is perfect.
And what is more gratifying than the victory is Tang Tian's ball-handling skills in this game.
The next All-Star weekend, the Pelicans coaching staff will be busy again.
They had to think carefully about how to bring out Tang Tian's greatest strength next.
After the game, Tang Tian, as the MVP of the game, was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
"You showed good ball control in the game, and it was very characteristic, very low center of gravity."
The reporter naturally mentioned the problem of Tang Tian's ball control skills in the game.
"Yeah, that's what I've been working on, and actually, Kemba Walker's dribbling skills are the most like mine in the league."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
"Ah Choo!"
Walker was practicing extra in the training hall when he sneezed suddenly.
