Chapter 890 He May Really Be Sick (First Update!)
Cole was very serious. Fortunately, the Warriors were confident enough and successfully prevented the Pelicans' key attack through excellent double-teaming and assisting defense.
The Warriors did not take a timeout, and Green quickly advanced through the half after grabbing the defensive rebound.
They have to score quickly, and preferably from three.
Green gave the ball to Curry, who then passed the ball to Durant.
Although Durant was repeatedly denied and betrayed by Tang Tian before, he still trusted Durant.
"Beat him!"
Green pulled Davis to the far end at this time, but still did not forget to shout at Durant.
After Durant was intercepted and blocked in succession, the self-confidence built before the game collapsed once again.
But when he heard Green's shout, he came back to his senses.
Tang Tian is his nightmare, he must defeat his nightmare!
He held his breath, and after a beautiful continuous shake, he suddenly stopped and shot a three-pointer.
Tang Tian did not take off.
This time it wasn't that he was going to hit the target again, but that his physical fitness was completely gone and he couldn't keep up with Durant's rhythm.
Durant got an excellent opportunity, but he couldn't believe it the moment he took the shot.
He was ready to meet Tang Tian's defense, but Tang Tian didn't come!
Did he shake Tang Tian away? Did he finally get rid of Tang Tian?
He was in a trance, unbelievable!
Shooting attaches great importance to rhythm. When he was in a trance, his rhythm suddenly disappeared.
And at this point in time, his physical problems are not small. You must know that he was also vomited by Tang Tianpao at the beginning, and this time he was obviously short!
In the unbelievable eyes of the audience, Durant shook off Tang Tian's shot and shot... a three-pointer.
An air balloon!
Jokic collected the rebound, and the Warriors' offense failed again!
Cole was stunned.
The Warriors teammates were also stunned.
Even Tang Tian was stunned.
What is this guy Durant doing?
The goal was not scored, and the Warriors' hope of winning was already slim.
And in the next round, Tang Tian didn't show any mercy. He turned around and fell back despite being double-teamed and hit hard, killing the game directly.
Although Curry scored a super long three-pointer at the last moment, the Warriors ran out of time.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Warriors 107-102 and won the Christmas game.
Jokic had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Davis had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, Holiday had 11 points and 3 assists, and Brogdon had 6 points and 1 assist.
Tang Tian scored a game-high 43 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
For the Warriors, Curry scored 27 points and 6 assists, Thompson had 14 points, and Green had 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Durant scored a team-high 33 points. He played an absolutely outstanding four quarters, but unfortunately he made 0 of 3 shots in overtime and failed to score a single point.
"This is a game without losers. The Pelicans and Warriors played the best game this season or in the past three years!"
"I was so excited to watch the whole game that my eyes never left the screen for a second! I haven't had this feeling for a long, long time!"
"I really want them to play a series on the same spot. It will definitely explode. This is the NBA I imagined!"
"Fuck Xiao Hua, I love Tatum to death now, he is simply the second best to Stern!"
“This is really a game-changing game, everything is different!”
"Ahem, the only thing that hasn't changed is Durant? When he faced Tang Tian's defense in overtime, he was blocked once, once risked, and once... Why can't I help crying?"
"I think he may have a mental illness. He missed the last three-pointer away from Tang Tian, but he made a three-pointer without touching it!"
"Actually, this is understandable. If you think about it, a person whom you originally looked down upon at all catches up with you step by step, until you are evenly matched, and finally becomes the target of your pursuit, and then you are too far behind to catch up. This is not a bit of a mental illness. Isn’t that normal?”
"It seems very reasonable, a moment of silence for Durant!"
"A moment of silence for Xiao Shuai +1"
"More silence for Du Laoer +2"
"More silence for Du who surrendered to the enemy +3"
…
The game is over, but the buzz on social media has reached a peak of the season.
The discussion about the content of the game was far better than the scene during the Christmas match between the two teams at the same time last season.
Such a scene has a lot to do with the change in the league's penalty scale!
If the previous games have not revealed anything, then this focus battle is enough to illustrate the problem.
Just like a word that appears frequently on social media, the enjoyment and excitement of the game have begun to come back!
Fans were talking heatedly on social media, and the Pelicans' post-game press conference was attended by hordes of reporters and the scene was quite lively.
In a head-to-head encounter, they defeated the four-star Warriors in an honest and fair manner. It's hard not to praise the Pelicans' performance tonight.
Tang Tian became the focus of the press conference.
In such an intense game, he still scored 43 points. Such a performance deserves the title of the first player in the league.
"The Warriors lost the game, does that mean they can't beat you without the help of the referees?"
The FOX reporter asked, although the Jenkins incident put them at the forefront of the storm, their trouble-making style has not changed at all.
"No, they are respectable opponents. We went to overtime and we narrowly defeated our opponents."
Tang Tian replied calmly.
This is a game without interference from outside factors, and he does not want negative reports after the game.
On the contrary, if this game can be used as a typical example, it will play a very positive role in promoting the league after it has undergone tremendous changes.
Just like the skyrocketing buzz on social media.
In a previous life, many people attributed the development of the NBA to Xiao Hua, but in fact, it was more a product of the development of information.
Because according to big data, the league's ratings began to plummet since the 2017-2018 season.
Now that Xiao Hua has stepped down early and the NBA has returned to the basketball of the early 2000s after Tatum took office, this result will definitely change.
And if Christmas games like this one in the past can be promoted, then with the development of information technology, the NBA will become more prosperous than at the beginning of the century!
"Durant missed three shots on his last possession in overtime. What happened?"
The reporter then changed the topic and asked.
"I have no idea."
Tang Tian shook his head, he really didn't know this time.
At that time, his physical energy was exhausted and he couldn't keep up with Durant's rhythm, so he didn't know what happened to Durant at that time.
But speaking of it, he had had such an experience once.
That was two years ago, when he faced off against Kobe. His defensive performance wasn't very good, but Kobe turned his three-pointers into two-iron players, and his four-pointers into three-iron players. His feeling at that time was the same as it is now.
So the problem still lies with Kobe and Durant themselves.
He really doesn't know.
