Chapter 506 The Second Person in History (First Update!)
Paul was forced to foul Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was sent to the free throw line and got two free throw opportunities.
If all enter, he will directly kill the game.
"MVP! MVP!"
When Tang Tian made a free throw, there were shouts of MVP at the scene.
The Pelicans are promoting Tang Tian's MVP, and New Orleans fans know it.
Tonight Tang Tian has scored 21 points and 8 assists, not the most points, and even the overall statistics are not the best in the team.
But he really played a core role. He was calm in conflicts, guided Davis to grow, and his performance at critical moments was still stable.
He deserves the cheers.
Tang Tian made two free throws amidst the cheers of the MVP, which completely wiped out the Clippers' hope of winning.
In the end, the Pelicans beat the Clippers 105-98 at home, extending the series to 2-1.
In this big explosion, Davis contributed 30 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks, completely occupying the upper hand in the matchup with Griffin, who only had 16 points and 8 rebounds.
Tang Tian had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Gordon had 13 points, Holiday had 11 points and 7 assists, Anderson had 9 points, and Evans had 2 points and 10 rebounds.
Paul scored 28 points and 9 assists for the Clippers, and Crawford scored 19 points.
After the game, the Pelicans fans cheered for a long time.
After experiencing such a game full of away calls and conflicts, the feeling of winning is really indescribable.
And more importantly, Davis played really well after being strangled!
It is impressive to be able to play such a performance when he is weaker than Griffin.
In contrast, the Clippers caused conflicts by themselves, and finally lost the game. It was really a loss and a loss.
After the game, Davis was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.
Davis was honest when asked what caused the outburst tonight.
"It was Don. He told me how to deal with this conflict. He guided me to use my performance on the court to respond to the opponent. He helped me grow."
Davis was all smiles when he spoke, and the words really came from his heart.
Now that he has grown his hair and beard, he looks much more pleasing to the eye than before, and he is really much more cute.
Coupled with the serious and innocent expression on his face, the reporter was amused by it.
"You contributed 7 blocks tonight, which is your playoff record, oh yes, and your career high, how do you feel?"
The reporter then asked.
"Yes."
Davis said and stretched out his hand, his hand was a little red.
"To be honest, my hand is a little sore now. Not only did I block 7 times, but I also got called for fouls, but those also hit the ball."
The reporter really laughed out loud.
Davis is really too cute!
Tang Tian was not far behind at this time, and burst out laughing when he heard Davis' answer.
He suddenly felt more and more that Davis had great potential as a Spurs player!
In other words, this guy has a bit of Duncan's shadow no matter how he looks at it.
After Davis' interview, he followed Tang Tian back to the locker room.
When he arrived in the locker room, his teammates inevitably splashed water on him and celebrated.
What Davis won tonight is not just statistics. He defeated Griffin who is stronger than himself head-on, and this is the most important thing.
After celebrating with his teammates, Davis sat on the bench with a smile and wiped the water from his hair with a towel.
This was probably the happiest time he'd ever gotten wet.
At this moment, Tang Tian walked over and touched his head directly.
Davis had been avoiding him to touch his head before, and he finally seized the opportunity to sit this time.
To be honest, he was touched a lot by Duncan when he was in the Spurs. After seeing the shadow of Duncan on Davis, it was not appropriate for him not to touch him.
He couldn't touch Duncan back, and it would be nice to touch Duncan's shadow!
Davis ducked, then ran to the shower with a towel.
He still remembered Gordon's reminder that he didn't want to be as bald as Ginobili in the future!
Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.
He remembered that when Duncan touched himself before, he couldn't just hide from it if he wanted to.
The playoffs were in full swing, and at this moment, the league's first awards came out.
The first to be announced are the best head coach, best general manager and best defensive player.
Several candidates for the best head coach this year are very strong.
After losing Tang Tian, Popovich still led the team to 60 wins. He really brought the basketball system to the extreme this season.
Monty Williams took the Pelicans from 27 wins to 52, the widest gap of 25 games in the league.
The Bulls' Thibodeau is also very competitive. After losing Rose, Thibodeau still leads the Bulls to rank third in the Eastern Conference.
The final votes were announced, and Popovich won the best head coach with a total score of 380 points, narrowly beating Williams with 339 points.
This is also the third time he has been elected as the best head coach in 4 years, which is unparalleled.
Williams' loss is a bit regrettable, but Popovich deserves the honor.
You must know that what he lost this season was the FMVP of the finals last season, and he also won the league's first record this season.
That's probably what he can do.
The improvement of the Pelicans' record has a greater relationship with the team's signings, and Williams' loss to Popovich is not unjust.
However, the fans of the Pelicans were not too disappointed, because in the options announced later, the Pelicans had a double-shot.
In the competition for the best general manager, Demps defeated Buford of the Spurs and successfully won the honor of the best general manager.
The improvement of the Pelicans' record this season is really due to Demps.
The addition of Tang Tian and Holiday, and even the late signings of Evans, Whiteside, and Cole, are all powerful boosts to the team.
Of course, only Dempsey knew about Tang Tian's role behind it.
This is by no means a bad thing for Tang Tian. Dempsey, who has won the honor, will only rely on Tang Tian even more.
After seeing these two messages, Tang Tian sent congratulations to Popovich and Dempsey one after another.
"Old man, if you want to drink, call me anytime during the offseason."
Even though Tang Tian and Popovich are no longer on the same team, they are still friends who have forgotten their age.
And shortly after he finished sending the text message, the league immediately announced the ownership of the best defensive player.
Tang Tian, with 31% of the votes, defeated Noah, who got 25% of the votes, and won this honor for the second consecutive year.
He also became the first non-center player to win the honor back-to-back since Dennis Rodman (1989-90 and 1990-91).
And this is not counted, the greater significance is that he won the best defensive player while winning the scoring title.
This is awesome.
In the long history of the NBA, there is only one person who has won this honor at the same time in one season.
That's right, that person is the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan.
During the 87-88 season, Jordan won the regular season MVP + All-Star Game MVP + scoring champion + steals champion + best defensive player...
And now, Tang Tian has won the All-Star Game MVP+Scoring Champion+Best Defensive Player.
His honor in a single season is the second person after Jordan.
