Chapter 916 Tang Tian Wants to Kill Him, No One Can Stop Him!

In the Cavaliers' offense, Irving broke through Holiday and missed the basket.

Tang Tian judged that he needed to grab a defensive rebound, but Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound before him and tipped the ball into the basket.

After losing weight, Whiteside has both flexibility and confrontation, and his performance is quite eye-catching.

Looking back at the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian hit Love again, and before the double team, he confronted Whiteside and put the ball into the basket.

4 to 4.

Both teams scored in the first few waves of offense after the opening.

Although the penalty scale has changed, the two teams are in this state tonight and are heading for an offensive battle.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the field was 20 to 15, with the Pelicans leading.

For the Cavaliers, Whiteside performed well and scored 8 points.

For the Pelicans, Tang Tian also scored 8 points, but he also had 2 rebounds and 4 assists!

One of the four assists was a three-pointer. Excluding two free throws, 17 of the 20 points scored by the Pelicans were related to Tang Tian!

The Pelicans didn't play any complicated tactics on the court. The core idea was that the players would spread out, and then Tang Tian would attack on his own, or simply pass the ball after the pick-and-roll to assist.

In other words, Tang Tian's ball possession rate after the opening game reached 100%!

"Brad."

On the bench, Gentry couldn't help turning his head to look at Stevens.

The tactics the Pelicans played on the court tonight were different from what they had planned before the game.

"I know."

Of course Stevens saw it too.

But he nodded and said nothing.

He usually trains strictly, but he knows how to be flexible.

This can be seen from the way he and Tang Tian get along.

He has seen all Whiteside's remarks and media reports, so he is not unprepared for what the players did tonight.

He doesn't have to strictly follow the coaching staff's requirements every night. After all, the season is so long, and he is not a coach who needs to rely on this to establish his authority.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Pelicans are still ahead of the Cavaliers by playing such a simple game.

Tang Tian's personal ability, coupled with his three or four years of tacit understanding with these starting teammates, make him look very scary.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 33-30, and the Pelicans still maintained a 3-point lead.

The last time the two teams met in the opening game, the Pelicans took a double-digit lead in the first quarter, led by 14 points at halftime, and defeated the Cavaliers in three quarters.

But the point difference in one quarter now shows that the Cavaliers are indeed much better than they were at the beginning of the season.

In the opening stage of the second quarter, most of the main players on both sides were resting off the court.

Whiteside was constantly communicating with the assistant coach on the side.

He didn't ask about the team's tactics, nor about his own poor performance, but about Tang Tian's data.

"10 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists."

He frowned when he heard the answer given by the assistant teacher.

He was crazy for rebounding, and he grabbed 5 rebounds in this quarter alone! 3 of them were offensive rebounds!

Not only rebounding, he was also working hard to prevent Tang Tian from scoring and assisting.

He had only one purpose in doing this, to prevent Tang Tian from completing a triple-double!

He was slapped on the left cheek in the opening game, and he didn't want to be slapped on the right cheek again now.

He wants to succeed in pretending once, and he wants to tell the world that the Pelicans and Tang Tian made the wrong choice!

He is a better center than Jokic, he is the best center in the league!

But now, Tang Tian has gotten such data in this quarter, and there is a high probability of another triple-double!

In the substitute connection period of the second quarter, the two teams were still inseparable.

After more than five minutes of this quarter, the main players from both sides came back one after another, and the score on the court was 41 to 37.

James' breakthrough layup caused Jokic's thug to hit. After two free throws, the point difference was only 2 points, a ball difference.

"Defend! Defend!"

This anxious situation made Cleveland fans excited, and the cheers and cheers at the scene were overwhelming.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to pass the ball to Tang Tian. They were determined to improve Tang Tian's statistics tonight.

Tang Tian still found Love in the pick-and-roll, but Love couldn't keep up, and Tang Tian successfully got to the basket.

Whiteside rushed over with red eyes, he wanted to stop Tang Tian!

Tang Tian's castration continued unabated, and there was a physical confrontation between the two. Tang Tian could not get up.

But he didn't seem to think about it. In the moments after the confrontation, he stuffed the ball from Whiteside's waist to Jokic under the basket at close range.

Jokic took the ball and easily put the basket up to score.

Tang Tian's 6th assist of the game!

Whiteside clapped his hands in anger after seeing the goal.

Tang Tian suddenly wanted to laugh when he saw his expression.

This guy has a really bad mind. He probably only has eyes for him right now.

James came over and patted Whiteside on the shoulder, reminding him to just stand under the basket and protect the frame.

Irving singled out Holiday's turn and hit the ball.

The Cavaliers' style of play becomes simpler as they play, but also more effective as they play.

The score difference is still 2 points, and the situation on the court is still anxious.

Holiday gave the ball to Tang Tian after halftime. This is really a 100% ball possession rate.

Tang Tian was also simple and continued to look for Le Fu.

Love maintained his defensive position this time, but was still squeezed past after confronting Tang Tian.

James came to help defend from the weak side, and Whiteside shrank toward the basket.

This ball is surrounded from the front and back, and the chance of being defended is very high.

Whiteside stuck Jokic and was ready to protect the defensive rebounds after successful defense.

At least, Tang Tian can't be allowed to get any more rebounds.

But the moment he thought this, Tang Tian suddenly accelerated again.

This time, the second acceleration was caught off guard. James had no time to help defend, and Whiteside had not yet stretched out his hand. Moreover, based on the lesson of the previous ball, half of his attention was on Jokic.

At this moment, Tang Tian stepped into the penalty area and jumped up.

"Bang!"

He slammed the ball into the basket through Whiteside, who had not yet reached out his hand!

After the previous game against the Jazz, he humorously said that he was able to successfully dunk because Hill is not Cousins ​​​​and the guard is not a big man.

But this time, he pushed the ball in through Whiteside!

You really can’t believe what Tang Tian said!

The fans at the scene were stunned.

Forbes jumped to the sideline with a towel and flung it into the air.

Whiteside was pushed out of the court. When he saw Tang Tian hanging on the basket, he rushed forward as soon as his mind got hot.

However, Jokic had quick eyesight and quick hands and blocked him directly, and the referee stopped his next move in time.

With this ball and this backdrop, the outcome of the game is still unknown. Whether Tang Tian's triple-double can be continued is still unknown, but his face has been lost!

After Tang Tian landed, he glanced at Whiteside, with no emotion at all in his eyes.

He is kind to most people, but he shows no mercy to the ungrateful.

This goal became the epitome of the second quarter. Tang Tian was in hot form, leading the Pelicans to a 57-46 halftime lead.

He scored 16 points in this quarter, 26 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in the half, a double-double at halftime!

Whiteside tried hard to stop Tang Tian from getting data, but after Tang Tian's back injury improved, no one could stop him.

He wants to swipe, but Whiteside can't stop him, and no one can stop him!
