Chapter 623 James: I'm Already Different (Third!)
After dunking in, Tang Tian swung around the basket before coming down.
He let out a cry of excitement when he landed.
This kind of ball is not only a bonus to the morale of the team, but also very cool for him.
Steady penalty hit.
He personally scored 9 points in a row!
When Irving ran away, Jokic was injured and retired, and the Pelicans had a big problem with their internal rotation, he just relied on a wave of flow to reopen the score.
He may not be as versatile as James, but his scoring explosiveness has completely left James behind.
On the last attack, Holiday stole Irving and scored a layup at the buzzer.
After being blown away for nearly a quarter, he justified himself at the end.
After three quarters, the score on the field was 80 to 69, and the Pelicans entered the final quarter with an 11-point lead.
This time, the hotline was completely quiet again.
Tang Tian's performance for the past three minutes was really confusing.
Now the league can play this kind of continuous scoring explosive power, and it is estimated that only Durant is next door.
But now Durant is reimbursed for the season and is still recovering from injuries.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Tang Tian and Davis played the entire third quarter and ended the rest, while Whiteside and Gordon led the team on the court.
The Cavaliers were in a bad situation, and Blatt put James on the field early in the fourth quarter.
In this period, James showed his dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. He personally contributed 8 points and 2 assists, led the team to a 14-4 climax, and abruptly chased the score on the field to only 1 point.
The fans on the hotline climaxed again, and James responded well to Tang Tian's personal flow with this performance.
Williams' timeout was called late again.
After returning from the timeout, the main players of both sides returned to the field one after another.
The defensive quality of both sides in this period is very high, and the scoring efficiency of both sides is declining.
In the last 20 seconds, the score on the field was 104.
Cavaliers possession of the ball.
Most of the fans at the scene stood up at this time, and many fans breathed out nervously.
This game was really ups and downs, and no one thought that the two sides would fight until the last moment.
Now it depends on which of the two sides has the harder key ball.
James is holding the ball.
Except for Miller who replaced Waiters, the Cavaliers started at other positions.
This is a very typical James lineup.
The Pelicans did not double-team, Miller's shooting was stable and the key ball was stable, and Love and Irving were also very confident.
Ariza sank his focus to defend with all his might.
This goal is very critical, as long as the Pelicans defend it, they have a great chance of winning.
James made a breakthrough.
Ariza couldn't stand it.
After James broke into the penalty area, he has forced Ariza away with a tank-like breakthrough.
Whiteside came out to help out from the inside.
At this time, the Cavaliers also made tactical runs from the outside, but James did not choose to pass the ball, but went strong against Whiteside.
Whiteside blocked the shot, and the two had a physical confrontation.
James just didn't lose the wind and threw the ball high.
The ball went over Whiteside's blocked fingertips and hit the board in a small parabola.
"boom!"
The ball hits the center of the basket and bounces into the net.
With the last 5 seconds left in the game, James scored the most critical two-pointer in a tough way!
There was an uproar at the scene.
Many fans covered their faces and dared not watch.
Ariza and Whiteside have done a good job of defending the ball, but James played the key ball really hard.
After James played, he beat his chest and roared excitedly.
This ball played the domineering spirit of his little emperor.
After yelling, he turned and glanced at Tang Tian.
When he was in the Heat, the Heat lost consecutively to the Spurs.
His key pass was questioned by many fans.
Now that so many years have passed, his playing style and personality have changed a lot from that time.
His key shots have been more offensive than passing, and his understanding of basketball is different from before.
He is no longer the original him!
Tang Tian didn't respond. James scored the goal just now because of his ability. What he's thinking about now is the next round of offense.
In the last 5 seconds, this time is not enough to run tactics, basically you can only attack when you catch the ball.
And it also depends on the Cavaliers' defensive options.
The situation is very unfavorable for the Pelicans.
"Don, are you here to shoot and catch a three-pointer?"
Before laying out the tactics, Borrego pulled Tang Tian and asked.
When he was in the Spurs, he often shot this kind of lore three-pointer.
Tang Tian shook his head.
The Pelicans are not the Spurs. He was able to catch the ball and make a phone call because GDP was there to restrain him.
The Cavaliers won't give him that chance.
For the last ball, there is no other choice but singles.
He walked over to communicate with Williams for a while, and basically determined the way to play the last ball.
Back from the timeout, the Pelicans served the frontcourt.
The home fans felt their chests pounding.
This ball, either in overtime, or a lore, or lose, no matter what the result is, it will be very exciting.
Even the Big Three of TNT in the commentary booth temporarily stopped chatting.
The national live broadcast audience of this game is not bad, this is definitely the most exciting game after the All-Star Game.
Davis serves off the court.
The Pelicans have Morrow, Ariza, Holiday and Tang Tian on the court.
There was no tactical movement on the field. Except for Tang Tian, who was about to catch the ball, the other three fell to the bottom corner and the three-point line on the weak side.
This is obviously to catch and play directly.
Careful viewers found a very interesting thing that James was man-marking Tang Tian at this time.
It can be seen that he was beaten twice by the Spurs in the Heat, and he still minded in his heart, and he didn't want that to happen again.
Davis sent the ball to Tang Tian, and then made an air cut to the basket.
Le Fu pursued and defended the past.
Because being scored a three-pointer is a lore, the rest of the Cavaliers did not dare to let their defenders come over.
After Tang Tian received the ball, he directly hit James one-on-one.
At 5 seconds, there wasn't much room for adjustment, Tang Tian was about to make a shot after dribbling the ball twice with his body down.
But James' defense was in place, sticking close to Tang Tian and not giving him a chance to pull.
When the time went to 2 seconds, Tang Tian chose to turn around and lean back.
The three-point line is leaning back!
James didn't expect Tang Tian to choose such a choice, and his reaction was a bit slower.
When he pounced on it, Tang Tian shot up in the air after he had finished.
Leaning back itself is a technique that tests the strength of the waist. Ordinary people near the free throw line may not stick to it.
Even for a professional player, a fadeaway from the three-point line is a difficult shot.
The moment after the ball was shot, the red light on the sidelines also turned on.
James' interference is limited.
The ball passed the highest point and attracted everyone's attention.
The only thing that was silent was the beating of his own heart.
The ball begins to fall after passing the highest point.
The pitch is a little short.
This is also expected, the buzzer is so difficult, it is really embarrassing.
"Boom!"
The ball bounced off the front edge of the basketball.
Tang Tian's lore failed!
Many fans covered their faces and couldn't believe the ending.
But in the next second, there was a burst of cheers in the arena.
The bouncing ball fell for the second time, and this time it hit the inner edge of the basket and bounced directly into it!
Under James' defense, Tang Tian used a three-pointer to kill the Cavaliers!
Thank you Raptor God 1 for your reward.
