Tang Tian and Whiteside high-five.
In fact, Whiteside's flexibility now comes at the expense of confrontation. He still needs to gain weight afterwards. After gaining weight, he becomes a traditional center.
But that's enough. The Pelicans now have an inside line with a quasi-all-star level, which is an absolute reinforcement.
But his dream hadn't started yet, Whiteside took another foul on the defensive end.
Williams replaced him with Akinsa.
It seems that Whiteside really has a long way to go from being a quasi-all-star.
Durant's outside three-pointer bounced.
Looking back, Whiteside's dunk made the Thunder not dare to take the bag at will, and Tang Tian misplaced Adams's change to pull out.
The scores of the two players continued with Biao.
After three quarters, the Pelicans and the Thunder hit 75.
Durant scored 32 points, and Tang Tian also had 30 points.
There is still one game not played, the two of them are super class to complete their scoring task.
But obviously, Williams' tactics worked.
The Pelicans are now stalemate with the Thunder.
Such a decisive moment depends on who is more stable, Tang Tian and Durant.
The opening of the fourth quarter, the main force of both sides rest on the sidelines.
Whiteside was sitting off the court with four fouls. The center of the Pelicans was Jason Smith.
Smith received a layup from Gordon as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter. It looked good.
But when he looked back, he was immediately beaten by Jackson 2 + 1.
This is not counted. In just three or four minutes, the pelicans have nothing to do with the line.
Smith and Anderson's inside combination is really the same as opening the door to let anyone in and out.
Smith also had 11 points and 7 rebounds when he started this season, but then he was squeezed to the bench by Akinza. At this stage, he proved that he could not fight hard battles with actual actions.
The Thunder also pulled the points to 84 to 77.
Williams can only replace Tang Tian and Whiteside in advance.
Gordon's passing mistakes, the Thunder counterattack, Jackson fast break layup and also made Roberts handle.
After his extra penalty hit, the Thunder have already led by as much as 10 points.
This is also the biggest difference between the two teams after the opening.
"The Pelicans have a big problem with the 1st and 5th substitutes."
Kenny Smith was right in the commentary at this time.
When playing against a strong team like the Thunder, any fatal weakness will be targeted miserably.
Durant was sitting at the scene and smiling happily.
This wave is very important for the Thunder, and the game is likely to set the tone!
And more importantly, he is still off the field.
Reggie Jackson is a good guy. Although he failed to help himself two years ago, he has grown up after two years!
The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt.
Anderson, Roberts and Gordon all pulled the defenders far away, and Whiteside also sunk deep in the basket.
Now that the Pelicans are on the verge of crashing, we can only watch Tang Tian in adversity.
Lam patted his head while defending.
He trained with Tang Tian in the summer, knowing how difficult Tang Tian is to deal with, plus the previous counterpoint, that feeling is even stronger.
And his kind of innate character, although Tang Tian lashed out, but it will not completely change.
Tang Tian dribble low, continuous change of direction, Lamb struggled to keep up.
But at this moment Tang Tian suddenly squeezed through, and his confrontation was obviously a bit overwhelming.
Tang Tian squeezed away from Lamb and rushed to the free throw line.
Inside Adams was too late to save, and Whiteside was stuck in the basket.
"唰!"
Tang Tian's shot went hollow into the net.
Has no rebounds.
Durant's face under the field changed.
Tang Tian this guy always comes to destroy his good mood.
Thunder's frontcourt offensive, Jackson's outburst caused Whiteside's fifth personal foul.
Durant cried excitedly from the bench.
That's it, this group of guys who killed the Pelicans!
Williams was holding his head on the sidelines, Whiteside's foul frequency is really not an exaggeration.
But he didn't make a substitution. Whiteside is now a substitute, and he can complete the task in two more minutes.
"5 times, he has 5 times!"
Fisher reminded Jackson aloud at this time.
Jackson nodded when he heard it, and continued to kill the rim after taking a Adams pick and roll.
Whiteside seemed obviously a little afraid to shoot.
Jackson made a quick layup.
"boom!"
But he just shot the ball, Whiteside quickly reached out and gave him a pinboard hat!
Whiteside's brain circuit seems to be different from ordinary people, he completely ignores what he has done 5 times!
And after blocking, he also got a defensive rebound!
The Pelicans pushed back directly. Tang Tian received a long pass from Roberts in the fast break. He slammed Lam in pursuit and made a three-point shot.
The ball whirls through the air in an arc.
"唰!"
Three-pointer goes through the net!
Tang Tian scored 5 points in a row!
The point difference was reduced to 5 points!
Brooks shook his head straight on the sidelines and got up to call Durant.
Durant quickly walked to the technical desk.
"Snapped!"
However, as soon as he arrived, Tang Tian snatched Jackson's breakthrough and directly attacked himself!
Williams would not allow Tang Tian to defend against Durant, but did not say that Tang Tian would not defend against Jackson!
Jackson immediately dreamed back two years ago!
Things are not right, but some things seem to have not changed!
Such as Tang Tian's life grab!
Tang Tian rushed to the frontcourt and dunked directly with one arm.
After scoring 7 consecutive points, he helped the Pelicans catch up to 3 points in the blink of an eye!
Durant was anxious on the sidelines at this time, but the game did not enter the dead ball, he could not play alive at this moment.
Tang Tian's continuous scoring stimulated the fighting spirit of the Pelicans, Lamb's breakthrough was even covered by White Anderson!
Pelicans then attack and defense conversion.
Tang Tian took the lead, after receiving the Roberts pass, the explosive package attribute was triggered, and the layup after confrontation with Jackson caused the latter's foul and scored!
2 + 1!
The sidelines were agitated.
If Tang Tianjia hit a penalty, the Pelicans will tie directly!
The good news is that the dull-faced Durant was finally replaced.
Two minutes ago, he was still happy and happy, but two minutes later, he was already angry.
Tang Tianzhen really can't let him have a good mood.
Westbrook frowned straight at the moment.
Tang Tian declined his invitation to dinner before the game. Looking at the status of Tang Tian and Durant, it is not difficult to ease the relationship.
Tang Tian's opportunity to increase the penalty, he adjusted his breath to hit firmly.
It would be true to say that Williams' strategy to prevent him from defending Durant.
After this extra penalty hit, his score has already reached 40.
This is the fifth time he has scored 40+ points in this season. Except for playing the Timberwolves game, it is really the most relaxing time for him.
After Durant came up, the Thunder's firepower was renewed, and the scores of the two teams were stalemate.
This Pelicans played really impressive.
Except for the opening period of the fourth quarter, they all played evenly with the Thunder.
Of course, Tang Tian is the most crucial person. He scored 5 points in a row. When the game entered the last three minutes, he had already scored 45 points!
This score has broken his 44-point career record against the Warriors!
This is already his career night!
And the game is not over yet!
The opposite Durant has 40 points!
The game reached the last moment, and the dispute between the two scorers came to an upsurge.
"Who can tell me how much the difference in their points per game is?"
Barkley said suddenly with interest.
Smith turned over the tablet and quickly gave the answer.
"With less than 0.1 points, Durant leads."
Tang Tian had a poor comeback feeling and his opponents were weak. His scoring average was declining.
Durant stabilized the output and exceeded the score.
"According to this momentum, Tang has to score 50 points before it is possible to overtake."
O'Neill continued.
"The premise is that Durant can't get 50 points."
Smith took the call, he was still very strict.
I don't know if Smith's mouth is poisonous, the two teams on the field really fell into a scoring shortage.
Whether it is Tang Tian or Durant, or Westbrook or Davis, the shots of the two teams have been playing iron.
When the game reached the last minute, the score on the field was 103.
And Tang Tian and Durant's score did not rise anymore!
Barkley patted Smith on the shoulder, and the smile seemed to say, you are about to take the title of my big mouth!
The last minute, the moment of the game.
At this moment, the Pelicans suddenly adjusted, Morrow replaced Amino, Tang Tian directly played with Durant!
The moment of the final victory, the Pelicans still took the strongest move.
Durant was also very excited at this time, the Pelicans are giving him a chance.
Match Tang Tian ended the game, there is no better script than this.
He beat Tang Tian on his back, and turned and jumped back after a breakthrough.
His skills and tactics are very consistent.
"Snapped!"
But at the moment he pulled the ball, he felt light in his hand.
The ball was cut off by Tang Tian!
Tang Tian's defensive skills come from Allen, and his defensive approach is also very similar to Allen, giving the foot interference.
Although Durant completed his technical and tactical skills, he is now barely able to complete the confrontation!
The scene was full of uproar.
Durant bombarded the whole scene indiscriminately, but the pair went to Tang Tian ...
Tang Tian's fast break after stealing was pulled from behind by Westbrook.
Because of anxiety, there was no other player in front of Tang Tian, and it was a foul.
Two free throws.
Brooks was standing desperately on the sidelines at this time.
The two cores of the team contributed two turnovers at the critical moment.
Tang Tian adjusted his breath and made two free throws against the sky.
Pelicans scored a 2-point lead, and they still have the ball.
Tang Tian's personal score also came to 47 points.
Williams called a timeout, this attack is very important for the Pelicans.
Scored is likely to end the game directly.
Paused back, the home fans have all stood up.
The Pelicans' sideline ball came out.
"Defense! Defense!"
The cheers on the spot reached the highest decibel.
The sound that people can make when standing is much louder than when they are sitting.
The Thunder's defense is also the ultimate, Tang Tian has no chance to catch the ball.
It has been more than half the time for him to get out and get the ball, and it is directly a double bag.
He didn't pass the ball this time, and after a sharp turn to the right, he stopped.
There are Davis and Whiteside under the basket. It doesn't matter if he can't shoot.
"boom!"
He missed the key ball under high pressure.
But Whiteside got stuck at this time, Davis jumped up to make up the ball to make the ball!
Pelicans got a 4-point lead!
The last 30 seconds!
The Thunder called a timeout!
The Pelicans bench cheered with excitement.
This time Davis came forward at a critical moment to share the pressure for Tang Tian!
"They really have a future."
Barkley repeated in the commentary.
This is the first year of the combination of Tang Tian and Davis, and this kind of situation with the second Thunder in the West, and the key moment also led by 4 points.
Although stability is not enough because of youth, it is really in the future!
Came back after a timeout and the Thunder served in the backcourt.
Westbrook quickly held the ball to the frontcourt.
Now the Thunder choose to have two, either make a quick 2 points and then defend one, or press the time to make 3 points and then foul.
The Thunder's choice is to play fast two points.
Westbrook directly rushed into the inside through Adams' pick-and-roll and directly bombed the turtle.
But Whiteside was standing outside the reasonable collision zone at this time, stopping his layup!
The Thunder almost lost their chance!
Critical moment Adams stood out. He grabbed an offensive rebound and scored two offensive points after a continuous confrontation with Whiteside!
Thunder team chased the difference to 2 points!
But after this wave of attack, the Thunder's strategy failed, although they scored 2 points, but the time is less than 20 seconds.
They only had a way to foul early.
The Pelicans served quickly on the bottom line and Tang Tian received the ball.
Westbrook immediately fouled.
This time the Pelicans' free throws were tested.
Tang Tian's two free throws.
The scene created an unprecedented sound wave, and Tang Tian was also dazzled by all kinds of air sticks.
But he has the skill of the king of free throws, and this physical exertion is really not much bigger than before.
Mid two free throws, Tang Tian scored his 49th point, and the Pelicans once again opened the point difference to 4 points.
The Thunder called the last timeout.
The hearts of the fans at the scene felt like they were about to jump into their throats ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Obviously it was just an ordinary regular season game, but it was the feeling that the two teams played the playoffs.
Pause back, the Thunder's outside tactical opportunity.
This time it was Durant who shot against Davis' high-pressure defense.
This ball is difficult.
"唰!"
But basketball still fell into the net bag!
Three points of the big heart at the critical moment!
Durant thumped his chest after scoring a goal.
This three-pointer is quite relieved.
1 point difference!
The Pelicans didn't call a timeout, and the bottom line directly served the ball.
Has only one purpose for this, to put the ball in the hands of Tang Tian.
Tang Tian is the boss of this team and the most stable player in free throws.
In the last 8 seconds, the Thunder again fouled Tang Tian.
Is still two free throw opportunities.
If neither of them enters or one of them enters, the Thunder will have a chance to kill. If both enter the Thunder, they will have the chance to score overtime.
Just before Tang Tian's free throw, Tang Tian's personal data was played on the spot, with 49 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
As long as he scores one free throw, he will get the first 50 points of his career.

Shot the ball, tracing a beautiful arc in the air.
