Before playing the Rockets and the Jazz, everyone's attention was on the four doubles.
However, this wave of road trip has not been completed, the fans suddenly found that this is the fifth consecutive game that Tang Tian has won three doubles!
Such a situation, Tang Tian had done it last season, but the situation is different from that time.
At that time, Tang Tian did his utmost to complete it with the help of a team of card-forward teammates, but now he is clearly at ease.
And with more and more triple-doubles, Tang Tian's average data is approaching triple-doubles infinitely.
Averaged 30.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game!
If this performance continues, he may reach the triple-double average per game before April!
And this is the goal he set for himself after communicating with Jordan at the beginning of the season!
Tang Tian is moving towards the goal of averaging three doubles, but the league is not alone now.
The Thunder's Westbrook has averaged 29.6 points, 11.1 rebounds and 10.1 assists so far.
Although his shooting percentage declined due to the increase in the penalty rule, his average points and assists also decreased compared to the beginning of the season, but he still maintained an average of three doubles.
Following this momentum, the NBA League will not only reappear with players averaging three doubles, but also two at a time!
This will be an unprecedented event.
Fans are discussing whether Tang Tian can continue the triple-double performance, and they are also discussing that he and Westbrook are averaging triple-doubles.
In the second half of the season, the season's honor will become more noticeable.
Against this background, the Pelicans continue their road trip, and their next game opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This is also the second and final regular season matchup between the two seasons.
The last game also goes back to the season opener.
At that time, the Pelicans overcame the Cavaliers under Tang Tian, and the Cavaliers' 98 million signings in the summer directly hit the water.
However, this time after more than four months of fighting, the situation of the two teams has changed.
The Pelicans traded to strengthen Williams' bench, and the Cavaliers changed even more.
They also came to Korver at the trade deadline, which quickly integrated into the Cavaliers rotation and became the second scorer on the bench.
Of course, more importantly, Whiteside reduced weight at the request of the coaching staff. He is now a modern center with both speed and confrontation.
After losing weight successfully, he can average 13.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, and his shooting rate is as high as 59%!
And the number of blocks in the past three games has exceeded five times, and the state is hot.
This is where the Cavaliers have the greatest strength.
In other words, this match between the two teams will certainly not be as easy as the first time, and the Pelicans will not be so easy to win.
Not to mention the Cavaliers are still playing at home.
In Cleveland the day before the game, fans had begun to build momentum on social media.
The fiasco of the opener, and the fierce defeat of the Warriors, made the outside world feel that this season is the Pelicans and Warriors double-bear battle, who is the winner in the West who wins the championship.
As for the Cavaliers, in their opinion, they have become the winner of the Western Conference. The finals are just a playoff.
Now that the Cavaliers' strength has improved, they will naturally want the team to correct their names in the most positive way.
Regardless of whether it is the former first man in the league, "Little Emperor" James, who has only been on the throne for a year, or the most talked about Whiteside, even Tang Tian's brother Irving, and the fall from the All-Stars to ordinary players because of the change in the penalty level Love, all need to prove themselves with such a game.
"This is a play-off from last year's finals. Similarly, this may also be a preview of this year's finals."
As Barkley said on the TNT show, the Pelicans and Cavaliers game was the most watched game at the end of the season.
Eye-catching.
In the afternoon of this day, the Cavaliers conducted open training.
The media reporters who were present were all overwhelming.
The topic level at the end of the season is much less than the beginning and middle periods of the season. At this time, the media with such topical matches will never be missed.
Immediately after training, the Big Four of James, Irving, Whiteside and Love, as well as team coach Lu were surrounded by reporters.
And among the crowd, the number of reporters interviewing Whiteside is even more than that of James.
The grievances between James and Tang Tian continue, but that is not new. The dispute between Whiteside and the Pelicans has become the freshest topic.
And Whiteside himself has been talking about making machines. The words of the opener still make journalists remember it.
I think the team will definitely succeed in revenge tonight. He is completely different from the beginning of the season. They will win a big victory at home ...
It's no surprise that these words came out of his mouth.
His resentment against the Pelicans has deepened because of the fiasco of the opener, and he urgently needs to prove himself tonight.
However, a question from a FOX sports reporter among these questions gave a new topic to this pre-match interview.
And the topic's breaking point is greater than all other interviews combined.
"What do you think of Tang's performance? He has scored three doubles in five consecutive games if he reached 6 tonight."
The reporter asked a very natural question. Tang Tian is now creating a three-double consecutive record for the season, and it is likely to tie the history of nine consecutive games.
But Whiteside was not so happy after listening.
"You should pay attention to me. I have got 5 blocks in 3 consecutive games."
He was in the unexpected world when he was with the Pelicans. The Cavaliers and James have been mixing for a long time, and they care more about these.
The reporter smiled.
There are more than five blocks in three consecutive games, which is really good, but it is a little worse than Tang Tian's four consecutive doubles and five triples.
And now he's asking Tang Tian-related questions, not Whiteside.
Seeing the reporter's expression, Whiteside's thoughts staying in the cerebral cortex became active again.
He was upset and had to say something.
"He won't finish it ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Hear what Whiteside said, the excitement of the reporter has come.
Whiteside did not let him down!
"All of us have watched the Pelicans, the Rockets, and the Jazz. Both AD games gave Tang Ban. He also became the focus of the outside world because of this. He will catch every rebound, so Tang will not be able to complete the triple double. "
Whiteside's next passage was surprisingly logical.
But this is also his reaction, he needs to shift the focus of the outside world from Tang Tian to himself.
"Do you mean, is Tang Tian a data brush?"
The reporter then asked.
Sure enough, she is a reporter from FOX Sports, jumping straight to the most critical part.
