Back at halftime, the fans at the scene did not diminish.
Although the game was a draw, the Thunder team at home played a clear win.
As long as this stalemate continues and the Pelicans are defeated, they can regain focus in the league!
Back in the second half the Pelicans attacked first.
Tang Tian and Davis played a pick-and-roll, and then broke into the basket, and returned the ball to Davis.
Davis met Durant's defense and he shook his shot mid-range.
"Oh!"
Basketball penetrated the net and Davis hit his first shot steadily.
Back on the defensive end, the Pelicans' defensive strength has not diminished, and the Thunder still don't have a good chance.
Westbrook made a strong layup and missed.
The Pelicans counterattacked, Holloday received a pass from Tang Tian and leaned over Westbrook to make a layup and score.
The Thunder opened the Pelicans a 4-0, and the Pelicans came back to beat the Thunder 4-0 in the second half!
Stevens nodded satisfied on the sidelines.
As he thought, the Pelicans' overall poor performance in the first half had a lot to do with the loose mentality of the players.
It was difficult to adjust in the first half because of the game, but it was good to come back at halftime.
The Pelicans have averaged 16.5 points in the past five consecutive games.
The Thunder's offense didn't have a good chance, and the ball was finally given to Durant.
This is the same as the first half, relying on the superstar's personal ability to solve the problem.
But at this moment, there was a roar of noise at the scene.
Because the person who confronted Durant was not Ariza, but Tang Tian!
I didn't notice the previous round, only to find out now that the Pelicans' defensive adjustment in the second half turned Tang Tian into defending Durant!
After Tang Tian arrived at Pelicans to become the core of the team, the Pelicans basically did not allow Tang Tian to defend the opposing superstar.
After all, people's physical strength is limited. The Pelicans need Tang Tian's offense rather than defense, which is related to the team's tactical low position.
But now, Stevens has shown his extraordinary ability to coach, let Tang Tian defend against Durant!
In this scene, they haven't seen each other for many years, and they have to remember that two years ago, Tang Tian was still in the playoffs with the Spurs and Thunder.
Durant became excited when he saw Tang Tianfang himself.
Although he hasn't played for a season due to injuries, his training has not fallen, and his offensive stability is much higher than two years ago.
But Tang Tian's defense has fallen sharply in the past two years.
Over time, this defensive adjustment of the Pelicans is simply giving him a chance.
He motioned for his teammates to pull away, and chose to lean on Tang Tian singles.
He will definitely seize this opportunity!
Hit your back, turn left and right, shake your shoulders, and roll over your jumper.
His technical moves are done in one go, and his more skillful moves are also his big kill this season.
But at the moment he was about to make a shot, he felt dark.
Tang Tian actually came to face-up Dafa defense, which directly blocked his shooting vision.
"Dang!"
He faced Tang Tian's first singles without success.
Jokic protected the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans fought back, but this time Robertson prevented Hollodi's throw.
The Thunder team attacked the frontcourt again, and Durant directly leaned on Tang Tian to continue the ball.
The goal just now is his care, Tang Tian's defense is less degenerate than he expected.
He has failed singles once, and this time he must seize the opportunity.
Westbrook drew the ball in and Durant turned back after receiving it.
This time he chose to face off.
Crossing the dribble back and forth, he suddenly stopped and pulled.
This is a relatively simple offensive method, but his long arm, coupled with his current shooting stability, is also his most confident offensive method.
"Snapped!"
But just before his shot, he felt a light hand.
Tang Tianfei shot quickly and took off his racket!
After Tang Tian intercepted the ball, he threw it directly to Hollodi.
The Pelicans hit the Thunder 6-0 in the second half!
Durant was a little hesitant, looked down at his hands, and couldn't seem to believe the ball would be broken just now.
This made him have a lot of unpleasant memories in his head.
Was pitted, stolen, blocked, and shot less than 40% ...
Those long, long ago things appear in my mind as if yesterday!
Damn, Tang Tian, hasn't the defense regressed in the past two years? !!
The answer is "yes".
His offense was blocked again in the next round, and he didn't hit the first goal of the second half until his fourth shot, and he confirmed this.
The defensive player who had his most headache during the Spurs, is now standing opposite.
Everything seems to reappear yesterday.
In this section, Durant was completely absent from Tang Tianfang, from 4 in 1 to 7 in 2 and 11 in 2.
Kobe started his retirement season. Durant took over the Kobe Bryant's Mamba spirit and gave his own basket a thump of ice and fire.
Lost in Durant's play, the Thunder also scored bleak in this quarter. They only scored 12 points in the single quarter, while the Pelicans on the other side scored 28 points against others.
After this section, they are already 16 points behind ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The strong teams played against each other, this situation is fatal enough.
In the fourth quarter, both starters rested off the court.
Bo Yang came up and scored a three-pointer, widening the difference to 19 points.
There was a restlessness on the sidelines.
According to the pace of this game, the Thunder lost the game is a matter of course.
However, at the critical moment, the Thunder's inside line substitute Kanter stood up.
He continued to attack McGee in the scoring line, even if Stevens replaced Biyombo, he still scored in the perimeter.
In terms of offensive ability alone, Kanter is definitely a starter or even a quasi-all-star.
In addition, the Pelicans' offense was not good at this stage. After coming and going, they played more than three minutes. The Thunder went to a wave of 10 to 1, and they have chased the difference to only 9 points.
Stevens called a timeout. After the timeout came back, he replaced Tang Tian in advance.
The new Thunder coach Donovan, after seeing it, also replaced Robertson.
In the third quarter, Tang Tian's task was to defend, but at this time, putting Stevens on the court obviously required him to attack.
His Majesty Williams, Tang Tian is a spearless gun, but Stevens this is to turn Tang Tian into both offense and defense.
Tang Tian also knew exactly what Stevens wanted. When he got the ball in the frontcourt, he took a look at Robertson's defense against him and took a three-threat pose.
The three threat abilities, he had already redeemed in the offseason, but because the previous games were all overwhelming, he didn't use much.
Including the first half of the game, the Thunder's frequent double-teaming allowed him to use more back.
Now that there is a one-on-one opportunity, he can also try out new abilities.
