Chapter 938 The Spurs’ Dream only Lasted 24 Minutes

During the halftime break, Stevens was worried that Williams and Bo Yang were not in good condition, so he specifically asked Tang Tian to tell him that maybe he would play more in the second half.

But it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

Because Tang Tian completely went berserk in the third quarter.

He scored 30 points in a single quarter, breaking his previous playoff scoring record of 29 points in a single quarter!

At halftime, the Rockets only trailed by 7 points, but after three quarters, they were already trailing by a full 22 points!

The Big Three scored a combined 22 points in this quarter and were in excellent form. However, Tang Tian cheated in the third quarter and the game was ruined!

In the last quarter, the Rockets counterattack failed, and the score on the court was finally fixed at 99 to 83.

Cousins ​​had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Harden had 17 points and 5 assists, and Paul had 15 points and 8 assists. The Big Three of the Rockets had good statistics in the three quarters.

But for the Pelicans, Tang Tian scored 50 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the third quarter, and his score alone exceeded that of the Big Three.

At the end of the first round of the series, there were still a few fans who said that Tang Tian was not in optimal condition, but after the game, all those people and voices disappeared.

Perhaps only this game reminded those people of Tang Ritian, who continuously broke the playoff single-quarter and single-game scoring records in last season's playoffs, and made them realize that Tang Tian's performance in the first round was a textbook stroke. .

On that day, mankind finally remembered the fear of being dominated by giants.

This familiar phrase has once again appeared on social media.

In this intense confrontation, Tang Tian could still score 50 points. His personal ability is truly superhuman.

The first person in the league is worthy of his name.

But apart from the game itself, there is another thing that makes fans, especially Pelicans fans happy, is that Tang Tian brought his two sons to the post-game press conference for the first time!

The cute look made all the reporters in the audience fall in love.

After discovering that his son liked basketball, Tang Tian helped them adapt to the NBA environment early.

And with his two sons present, Tang Tian smiled the whole time, no matter what problems he faced.

This was the happiest post-game press conference that reporters had ever seen Tang Tian.

What can be clearly felt is that nothing in this world seems to be more important than his two sons.

And he also said this in an interview.

"The lucky bracelet Elizabeth gave me before I got married has brought me a sense of touch and status, and now my two children."

When he first traveled to the NCAA, Tang Tian rekindled his passion for basketball because of the NCAA. Later, winning the championship with the Spurs rekindled his love for basketball. Later, he wanted to catch up with Kobe and Jordan as a player. Target.

With his experiences after time travel, he went through different stages. Now, he has a new motivation, which is his two sons.

This is more important than any previous stage.

The first day of the Western Conference semifinals ended with the Pelicans defeating the Rockets and the Cavaliers also defeating the Hawks.

The strength and state shown by both teams shows that they are ready for the next stage of the competition.

The day after these two battles end, the remaining two sets of division semifinals will also be held one after another.

The Knicks in the East face the Raptors, and the Warriors in the West face the Spurs.

These two games have also attracted much attention, especially the Warriors and Spurs.

Both teams advanced easily in the first round. It is exciting to see what kind of sparks will be sparked in the direct collision in the second round.

The game between the Knicks and the Raptors started first.

The process and result of this game were unexpected.

The Knicks have absolute playoff experience, but the opposite Raptors trash brothers are as "stable" as ever.

Lowry and DeRozan combined for 22 points, and the Raptors were defeated by 20 points on the road.

It seems that the Eastern Conference is still the stage for the Cavaliers and Knicks this year.

The Eastern Conference game is over, and the next game is the Spurs playing the Warriors.

After Tang Tian and Davis finished training, they met in the locker room to watch the game together.

But this time there is one more person, Diaw, who is also a former Spurs player.

Dior is a real life player, and he also brought a coffee machine and a bunch of delicious food.

This greatly improves their viewing quality.

While drinking coffee and chatting, the topic of whether the Spurs can beat the Warriors naturally couldn't escape.

"Kawhi had a left ankle injury at the beginning of the season and it's been really difficult for him this year."

Dio accidentally mentioned Leonard's current situation.

The Spurs have never disclosed this news to the outside world, which is considered news to Tang Tian and Davis.

But Tang Tian suddenly remembered something.

Having been away from the Spurs for a long time, he often doesn't pay that much attention. Diaw reminded him.

If I remember correctly, in his previous life, Leonard suffered a serious injury in the Western Conference Finals of the playoffs this year, and then he had a big conflict with the Spurs.

Now because of his intervention, history has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, the Spurs and Warriors are the two teams that are relatively less affected by this butterfly effect, and by coincidence, the two teams met again in the playoffs.

Although they are not in the Western Conference Finals, it is still difficult not to think of the two teams that have not changed much.

After Tang Tian thought about it, he said hello to Davis and Dio, took his cell phone and went out.

There is still more than half an hour before the game starts, and Leonard should still be in the locker room if nothing else happens.

The call was put through, but unfortunately no one answered.

Either mute it or put it in the closet.

He tried hitting Ginobili again, with the same result.

It seems like the Spurs are taking this game seriously.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it, after all, history has changed.

Tang Tian thought about it and returned to the locker room with his cell phone.

The game was about to start soon, and Tang Tian waited until it started but didn't receive a call back.

The Spurs got into shape quickly at the start, and Leonard was in hot form. No matter he was facing Durant, Iguodala or Thompson, or even double-teamed, he could score the ball no matter how hard he played.

"It seems that the old man has let go of his power tonight!"

Dio laughed and said.

Since Tang Tian left, Popovich has learned a lesson. No matter how good Leonard performs, his shots and scoring must be strictly controlled.

Therefore, although Leonard's scoring average is not low, his season high score has not exceeded 30, which is a miracle.

This is what Dio said.

Regardless of facing the Warriors, this seal does need to be unlocked.

Leonard was unstoppable and scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 1 steal in the first half.

If we keep playing like this, it's not a question of whether we can break 30 points, but maybe we can reach 40 or 50 points.

Under his outstanding performance, the Spurs led the Warriors by a full 25 points at halftime.

This scene shocked everyone. While the fans were shouting that Leonard was awesome, they were also lamenting the Spurs' unfathomable performance in the playoffs.

Although low-key, this team, like the Pelicans, Warriors, and Cavaliers, is still the favorite to win the championship!

However, Tang Tian frowned. He looked at his phone and then watched the game. This scene was really familiar to him.

By the third quarter, his premonition came true.

During an attack, Leonard faced Pachulia's fadeaway shot. When he landed, he was stepped on by Pachulia and fell to the ground.

Dior's half-drunk coffee cup almost fell to the ground and broke.

Afterwards, Leonard was helped back to the locker room. He looked in pain throughout the game, and it looked like his ankle was seriously injured.

After Leonard left the game, the Warriors launched an 18-0 offensive, nearly erasing the Spurs' previous lead.

The Spurs' championship dream ended after 24 minutes of halftime.
