Chapter 1102 Xiao Hua Finally Takes Action, but Is so Angry that He Is Half Dead (3/5!)
Chapter 1102 Xiao Hua finally took action, but was so angry that he was half dead (35!)
New York Headquarters.
Xiao Hua blushed slightly when he saw this expression and was a little excited.
This is the first time since the start of the playoffs that he has seen the Pelicans suffer.
Tang Tian's offensive desire was very low because of Fagan's death, and the Trail Blazers were in excellent form.
Let’s not talk about whether the Pelicans can finally win the championship. As long as he can break the possibility of the Pelicans winning 16-0 in the playoffs, then he can answer the question!
He immediately called Sock and asked him to communicate with the referee.
"Don, how are you doing?"
During the pause between sessions, Stevens declined an interview with reporters on the scene and took Tang Tian aside to chat alone.
"no problem."
Tang Tian nodded calmly.
After the first quarter, it can basically be seen that the Trail Blazers are in good shape.
This is also a reasonable thing.
They had just played a tiebreaker with the Rockets and won. Both their state and morale were at their peak.
Even if he fired in the first quarter, at most he would tie the score or lead by a few points.
"Then prepare for more beatings later."
Stevens continued.
Tang Tian continued to nod.
Just like doing Tai Chi to relieve stress, the Trail Blazers worked hard in the first quarter, but their strength will definitely weaken in the second quarter.
If he takes action at this time, the situation will be different.
This is also the reason why he didn't take the initiative to ask Stevens for the right to take action in the first quarter.
Back in the second quarter, the main players and substitutes were all on the court.
The Trail Blazers are led by McCollum and Anthony, and the Pelicans are led by Davis.
That is to say, the situation on the field suddenly changed in an unexpected way.
Rose continued his excellent form, shooting inside and outside, and together with Davis, led the team to a 10-2 offensive, directly overtaking the score.
Rose has been in good form since his comeback, including a heroic performance of 52 points in a single game in the final game of the regular season.
Plus Brogdon, who has returned from injury, as well as Bojan, Siakam, Harrell, and Lamb.
The Pelicans can play too many substitutes, and Stevens can rotate 10 or even 11 people if he wants.
Stotts was forced to call a timeout.
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is outstanding, but the strength of the bench is much worse.
After Harkless and Meyers Leonard were traded, Turner was the only one who could play in a game of this intensity.
Zach Collins has outstanding talent, but as a rookie, he is too immature, and Ed Davis, who replaces him, has limited strength.
The situation is similar for Napier and Pat Connaughton on the outside. They have limited space to play in this level of confrontation.
After returning from the timeout, Stotts replaced Lillard and Nurkic in advance.
Playing against the Pelicans, physical fitness is no longer something he should worry about. He knows that if he fails to withstand a breath, he will be directly beaten by the Pelicans.
The effect of this substitution was very good. Lillard came up to assist Turner to score a goal, and he made another difficult three-pointer.
After a wave of 5-0 attacks, the score on the field became 43-41, and the Trail Blazers took the lead again.
"beep!"
Lillard was doing the iconic action of wearing a watch, and a short whistle sounded on the court.
Tang Tian and Butler came on the court, replacing Rose and Siakam.
Stevens also took the lead in advance.
The two sides entered the decisive battle ahead of schedule.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt. Brogdon held the ball past halftime and gave the ball to Tang Tian, then motioned for the others to pull away.
Brogdon, Butler, Bojan, Davis.
With this lineup configuration and this tactical gesture, the Pelicans fans at the scene immediately knew what was going to happen.
Tactic No. 1, Tang Tian’s singles tactic!
After realizing this, before Tang Tian started fighting, there was already a burst of cheers at the scene.
After holding it in for a while, Tang Tian finally opened fire!
Stotts also walked from the bench to the sidelines and stretched out his hand to indicate the team's defensive position.
Tang Tian glanced at Turner, made a large butterfly step, and then took a step to the right and passed directly.
And after passing by, he accelerated again, and he was like a sports car with full accelerator, rushing straight inward.
The Trail Blazers players turned around and saw a flash of smoke passing through their eyes.
"Bang!"
With a one-handed tomahawk dunk, Tang Tian slammed the ball into the basket.
The scene burst into cheers instantly.
Tang Tian took a long breath after dunking the ball.
He just held his breath and raised his speed to his fastest, giving the Blazers no time to react defensively.
The Trail Blazers are now in full swing. The first thing to do to suppress them is to suppress their momentum.
So he put out all his energy from the beginning.
Lillard broke through and scored against Brogdon's puller, which also added points for the Trail Blazers.
He really wore a watch tonight, and he couldn't take it off easily.
The Trail Blazers still maintain the lead.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his hand and made tactical gesture No. 1.
This is the next fight!
Turner directly chose to press closely. He knew that he could not guard Tang Tian, so he chose a gambling defense.
When Tang Tian saw this, he didn't dribble and just squeezed past him on the right. After squeezing past, he accelerated. Turner was not even considered fouled.
"Shrink! Shrink!"
Stotts yelled from the sidelines.
Tang Tian's speed was too fast.
He shouted just in time, but the rest of the Pelicans were able to open up space, and the Trail Blazers had no time to shrink.
Only Aminu was barely there.
When Tang Tian saw it, he didn't yell back, but suddenly threw the ball into the sky.
Just when Aminu thought there was an alley-oop behind him.
"boom!"
The ball flew straight to the backboard.
Before Aminu could turn around, the ball bounced off the backboard and into the net.
The fans cheered.
Because Tang Tian had already passed by Aminu and jumped directly into the air.
When the ball rebounded, he stretched out his right hand and held it down.
"Bang!"
The ball was hit hard into the basket.
The moment the ball was smashed in, the cheers on the scene exploded.
Slam dunk!
McGrady's signature dunk.
Tang Tian used to use it frequently before, but since the dunk contest, his feeling of dunking is completely different from before.
It used to be violence, but now besides violence, there is also elegance!
Of course, more importantly, Tang Tian contributed two dunks at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Pelicans immediately overwhelmed the opposing Trail Blazers.
"Defend! Defend!"
The fans' emotions were also aroused, and there were endless cheers at the scene.
Amid the cheers, Butler helped defend Lillard from a double-team.
The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian caught the ball in the midfield and threw away the defender. When he reached the frontcourt, there was no one to defend him.
He took one step into the air just inside the free throw line.
One lap, two laps.
The magic of love goes round and round.
"Bang!"
He directly performed a 720° dunk!
"Fxck!"
Barkley jumped up from the commentary box.
Tang Tian dunked this dunk before in the Slam Dunk Contest, but this was actual combat, the playoffs!
The fans at the scene were all flushed and had orgasms on the spot.
What a show, the spiral exploded on the spot!
"Damn it! Damn it! Rhine!"
At the New York headquarters, Xiao Hua almost had a heart attack when he saw this dunk.
He shouted at Sock, the referee was promised, but why wasn't he on the line?
"Well...the referee needs to help, maybe until the second half."
Sock knew that Xiao Hua was angry, but he still told the truth.
There is a game going on over there now, and they can't possibly talk to the referee during the game!
Xiao Hua almost didn't come up when he heard this breath.
I was really pissed off to death.
