Chapter 657 Comparable to Jordan (First Update!)
When the data was displayed on the large LED screen, there was a commotion in the scene.
No matter what Holt said, they really want to kill the management now.
50 points in the playoffs!
The data of an absolute superstar, and the key is to score against the Spurs!
Before the Spurs this season, no player had ever hit 50+ on their heads!
But in the regular season, Tang Tian broke this record first, and then Irving followed suit, blasting another 50+ above the Spurs.
Well, records are like women, they don't care that much after the first break.
But this is the playoffs!
This is like coming to another place for the first time!
And in a very brutal way.
Heartbreaking pain!
Evil management, this was originally their player!
Tang Tian made the second free throw.
While raising his personal score to 51 points, he also once again helped the Pelicans narrow the point difference to 7 points.
However, the Spurs have obviously begun to suppress the success rate of the tempo, and the Pelicans' five players are less used and lack experience. The score between the two sides has been stalemate.
Tang Tian's hand feeling also dropped a bit, except for the first three-pointer, he failed to make a few consecutive shots.
After Williams saw it, he switched back to the regular lineup. Jokic performed well after he came back, and he blossomed inside and outside to help the Pelicans bite the score.
The game unknowingly hit the last minute, the Pelicans were still 7 points behind the Spurs, and Williams called a timeout.
Tang Tian scored a playoff high of 54 points, but he was still alone.
The help given by the rest of the Pelicans in this game is really too little.
But this performance has already won enough applause for them, especially Tang Tian.
The fans at the scene relaxed their minds, waiting for the Spurs to press the rhythm and accept this round of the series.
The faces of the Pelicans fans in front of the TV and the fans far away in China are full of regret.
The NBA is like this, not all endings can be happy.
When Tang Tian was in a good state, he just happened to catch up with the Whiteside incident, and he just happened to catch up with other people who were not in a good state.
Back from the timeout, Holiday held the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
The Pelicans played tactics in the frontcourt, Tang Tian ran without the ball, bypassing the pick-and-roll made by Jokic and Ariza to catch the ball.
However, the Spurs' defense is very good, and Green's help defense is very fast.
Tang Tian didn't have a chance to catch the ball, and Gasol on the weak side was ready to double-team him immediately.
It's standard superstar treatment.
Tang Tian didn't have time to hesitate, he just turned around and leaned back.
Leaning back from outside the three-point line, this ball is very difficult.
But the moment the ball was released, Tang Tian had a feeling that the basket was like the sea in his eyes.
"Shua!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball went straight through the net.
There was a commotion on the sidelines, this fadeaway three-pointer was too imba, completely unreasonable.
Just after the goal was scored, Tang Tian suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly triggered the Four Yanghua Three Irons.
Because he was focused on chasing points, he didn't count how many shots he missed, but the feeling at that moment just now was the same as when it was triggered before.
This passive skill is usually not very useful, but it still helps at critical moments.
50 seconds, 4 points, it's not impossible to play.
"Defend, defend!"
Williams yelled from the sidelines.
As long as this round is defended, the Pelicans still have hope.
The players on the Pelicans also know this, and they do a good job of defending off the ball.
But the Spurs are experienced, and Parker dribbled the ball against Holiday with his back to press time.
Time is the biggest enemy of the Pelicans at this time.
Tang Tian directly let Green double-team him.
Ariza and Tang Tian's double-teaming and pressing, ordinary people can't stand it at all.
But Parker double-teamed the ball to Green.
Green had a chance outside and took the ball and shot directly.
The ball was shot right.
"Boom!"
But the ball still bounced out of the frame.
The Spurs' outside touch in the second half was really cool.
Jokic caught Gasol and directly received the defensive rebound.
He directly threw it to Tang Tian from the backcourt.
Tang Tian accelerated and rushed to the front court, because there was no one in front, and Leonard, who was chasing behind him, did not dare to reach out and foul.
Tang Tian rushed to the three-point line in the front court, did not go further, and directly stopped for a three-pointer and pulled out his hand.
At this time, the only way to chase points is to fight for three-pointers.
The ball was shot, and the originally noisy arena was suddenly quiet.
Leading by 4 points in 50 seconds, scoring a goal steadily, or making a foul will win the game.
But now, if Tang Tian advances consecutively, he will really force the game into suspense.
The ball spun across an arc, because Leonard didn't dare to foul and couldn't keep up with the speed, the ball was shot very squarely.
"Shua!"
Tang Tian showed his stable big heart ability, the key is to make a three-pointer!
The point difference is only 1 point!
With 28 seconds left, the Pelicans chased the point difference to 1 point!
The game came to a timeout amid Popovich's yelling.
Green was scolded bloody by him after the game.
The attack just now must be time-consuming, even if it is pressed for 24 seconds and no goals are scored, it will basically win the game.
Green was also in a moment of brain fever, seeing such a good opportunity and forgot the score.
At this moment, Tang Tian's scores for this quarter and this game were shown on the large LED screen at the scene.
In this quarter, Tang Tian scored 24 points again, tying the record he had just set for second place in a single quarter of the playoffs.
And his personal score soared to 60 points, not only breaking his own single-game scoring record in the playoffs.
And this score is second only to Michael Jordan's 63 points and Baylor's 61 points, and is the third highest score in a single playoff game in NBA history.
Tang Tian is already comparable to Jordan at this moment!
Back from the timeout, the Spurs replaced Green with Ginobili.
Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to press time, and Tang Tian double-teamed again.
The ball was given to Ginobili, but Ginobili didn't dribble while holding the ball, waiting for the Pelicans' help defense to come up before giving it to an open player.
The Spurs' tactical execution at critical moments was really strong, and it was not until the last second that Ginobili made a large three-pointer.
The ball hit the front of the basket and jumped out, and the Spurs failed to score this attack!
But at the critical moment, Jokic paid his tuition, and Gasol relied on him to grab the most critical offensive rebound!
This is Jokic's height disadvantage. As the fifth position, his height and wingspan are not enough. Even if the weight loss and muscle gain are completed, it is impossible to achieve rebound protection like Whiteside.
But fortunately, Jokic reacted quickly enough and fouled directly on the spot, preventing Gasol from giving the ball to outside players.
In 3.2 seconds, Gasol hit the free throw line.
As long as he makes these two free throws, the Spurs can at least keep the regular season unbeaten.
The scene was quiet, he adjusted his breathing, and prepared for a long time before taking the first free throw.
"Boom!"
Maybe it was too long of preparation, the shot was a bit heavy, it hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high before jumping out of the basket.
His first free throw, missed!
Popovich directly called the last timeout.
A large number of fans on the sidelines took deep breaths. This game really wanted to break out heart disease.
I said yesterday that Whiteside's character design and reality are easy to bring in. I have spent a lot of ink and ink in the book to shape it. From the absence of the trial training at the beginning, it shows that his brain is not good, to the protagonist's repeated advice. He just established himself in the NBA, and this season he was suspended for missing a morning of training because he lost his wallet. Shouldn't this constantly strengthening character creation be very three-dimensional? Of course, I skipped and read it as if I didn’t say it. As for why he suddenly didn’t listen to the protagonist, it’s also clearly written in the book. The first is because it involves personal interests. He is in a contract year, and it’s normal to pursue data in a contract year; The second is that what is said in the book is annoying, not to mention that the protagonist talks so much to Whiteside, even if your parents talk too much, you will also be annoying; and third, the protagonist has said a lot to Whiteside, but His status in the team is still lowered, which will naturally make him distrust the protagonist, because there is also a Pelicans coaching staff. The status of the protagonist is high, but it cannot decide the choice of the coaching staff, and it is impossible to decide.
I won’t talk about Whiteside’s question anymore. What I want to say is that this book is a book that seldom spends pen, ink and thought on creating characters in sports, and the characters will change and grow because of things. You are all books. Worm, I don't believe that you can't see this. You are so tolerant of those who stop changing, those who change less, those who compete in water, and those who sell miserably. Why are you so harsh on me? Is it just because I have been updating steadily and look like an honest person?
