The Pelican management immediately put pressure on the league but did not get a clear response.
In fans' saliva, the sixth game of the Pelicans and Clippers series kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.
Match point plus home advantage, this is the best opportunity for the Pelicans to advance.
Conversely, if they lose this home field, then the chance of a tiebreak in Los Angeles will be very slim.
Just then, the league announced the selection of the best sixth man of the season.
Jamal Crawford scored 57 first votes with an average of 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists, with a total of 421 points.
He overpowered Eric Gordon, Ty Gibson, Ginobili, and Reggie Jackson to become the sixth man of the season.
He also became the first player in NBA history to have been elected the best sixth man in both teams.
And at the age of 34, he was also elected the best sixth man and oldest player.
Two days later, the sixth leg of the Pelicans and Clippers series started in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Arena is packed, and they are all looking forward to the Pelicans' promotion at home.
Fans look forward, the members of the Pelicans breathed a sigh of relief.
The punishment of the last game made them unhappy, and this unpleasantness was all vented to the game.
After playing five minutes in the first quarter, they led the Clippers by a double-digit margin of 14-4.
The fans on the scene cheered continuously, their chance of winning tonight is really great.
Rivers called a timeout.
"When are you waiting? Wake up, this is your last chance to win or go home and look around. Are you willing to spend all your efforts in one season here? Are you willing to stop here?"
Rivers took a sip of trans chicken soup.
This chicken soup looks very good, and the Clippers' faces are full of excitement.
Rivers went on to replace Redick with Crawford.
Back from the timeout, Crawford was singled out against Morrow and helped the Clippers close the gap.
Back on the offensive end, Davis had an inexplicable offensive foul when he was picking and rolling.
The boo on the scene was constant.
It seems that the previous pressure from the Pelicans did not have enough effect.
Looking back, Crawford scored another 3-pointer against Morrow.
Just like a basketball experience game, getting the best sixth man gives him a bonus on his ability value.
But this is also Crawford's playing style, feels like a superstar.
Tang Tian scored a goal for the Pelicans, and Crawford made another breakthrough in the face of the newly replaced Aminu.
The difference was narrowed to 5 points.
At this moment, the referee scrambled again, and Davis was blown by a mobile cover while he was covering.
There were more than hiss at the scene.
At this time, Benson's face in the VIP box was solemn.
Pressure on Xiao Hua didn't help, he could only find Stern.
Crawford turned around and made a layup break, which led to Holliday's beaters.
After making two free throws in a boo, he has thrown extra penalty in this period, and has already cut 9 points in a row.
Morrow, Aminu and Hollodi could not prevent him.
Williams had no choice but to use Tang Tian.
Tang Tian went to defend, Crawford's offensive firepower was finally held down, but the firepower on the Pelicans' side started to be a bit unsustainable.
And more importantly, the referee frequently sent away whistle in the game, and it was more exaggerated than in the third game.
Crawford's play also promoted the overall state of the Clippers, and soon after Davis and Holliday had fouled off.
The Pelicans are playing 5 at home at 8!
Tang Tian stepped forward in despair, the defensive end locked Crawford, the offensive end frequently hit the inside.
Throughout the first half, he took a break of less than 2 minutes.
Relying on his 18 points at halftime, the Pelicans barely stalemate with the Clippers at 40-50.
In the second half, Davis had a third foul early and Reddick also found a feel for consecutive three-pointers at this time. Crawford also continued to be hot after coming up.
Tang Tian once again grabbed offense and defense, barely helping the team into the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, he continued to play on the court for a minute without stopping. His physical fitness began to suffer, and his feel began to drop rapidly.
Davis also had his fourth foul early, and had to sit on the bench to go hot.
The Clippers played a wave in this quarter, eventually defeating the Pelicans 94-79.
When they were 1 to 3 behind, they even changed the score to 3 to 3.
Tang Tian scored 26 points, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Davis even enjoyed Tang Tian's previous treatment. His playing time was fragmented and he only played for 20 minutes and scored 9 points and 7 rebounds.
At the end of the game, the scene was not just booing, but 20,000 fans shouted "black whistle" in unison.
The fans at the scene filled with indignation, and the fans on the hotline were crazy.
"This referee is too heartbroken, this is definitely the two most incredible games I have ever seen!"
"This is not the league I know. In order to send the Los Angeles team to the second round, it has been heartbroken and it does not cover up!"
"Next, enjoy the Indian blockbuster," King Xiaohua: The Beginning! "
"Hey, 5 to 8, even if you give Jordan you won't win!"
"No, brother, Jordan would not choose to play in New Orleans!"
"It seems that it was really a mistake for Tang to choose New Orleans. His path seems to be more difficult than Jordan."
"But that's why I love the Godfather. Some people choose brother basketball, some people choose to turn the enemy into friends, but the godfather chooses one person and one city."
...
These pitfalls are not limited to fans, but in the post-match press conference of the Clippers, local reporters in New Orleans also mentioned this issue.
"Don was fouled 5 times in the last game. Davis made 6 fouls in this game, but the Clippers' most of these two games was Barnes 4 fouls. What do you think of the referee The scale of the penalty? "
"That's not what we can control. The penalty is part of the game. If you say the penalty is reversed, we will choose to accept it."
Rivers replied with a smile, it was obvious that he was cheap and sold well.
"Don't play was suppressed in these two games. How did you do it?"
A reporter from FOX asked another question ~ www.novelhall.com ~ We forced him to devote his energy to the defense. Both Jalmar and JJ played a key role tonight. "
Rivers said with a smile.
"Jamaal, how do you rate Don?"
The reporter then turned his head to Crawford.
"He is the perfect player, the best defense and offense, he is a superstar."
Crawford is relatively humble. Although he won the game, Tang Tian's evaluation is still very high.
The reporter then turned his attention to Redick who also played well tonight, scoring 17 points.
"Jamal, **** is not as strong as you said. They can't be superstars."
Redick did not answer immediately, but smiled to Crawford.
