Chapter 1119 Basketball Is a Confrontational Sport (4)

Halfway through this quarter, the score on the field was 48 to 38.

Walker and Davis fired one after another, helping the Pelicans seize the point difference on the field.

I have to say that Stevens is very far-sighted. He has always used Woday pick-and-roll as a regular weapon of the team.

Now that Tang Tian is away, this pick-and-roll has shown its due power.

Cole paced anxiously on the sidelines.

Without Tang Tian, ​​the Warriors haven't been able to close the score, which is simply a waste of opportunity.

The Warriors still failed to guard against Woday's pick-and-roll, and Walker hit the board with his signature underhand, scoring his eighth point of the quarter.

The Pelicans also widened the point difference to 12 points again.

"Restricted area, please protect the restricted area!"

Cole shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

If Tang Tian can't catch up with the score without the Warriors, or if Tang Tian can't beat the Warriors, he can't win.

The Warriors will definitely be ridiculed by fans after the game, and his coaching career with the Warriors may also be over.

At the critical moment, it was Curry who received a pass from Green and hit a three-pointer.

The Warriors finally closed the point difference to single digits.

"Defense! defense!"

The cheers started again.

The Warriors played defensive quality on the court and defended two consecutive Pelicans attacks. Woday's pick-and-roll did not work.

Walker finally had no choice but to play singles.

He continued to shake and squeeze past Thompson, and went to the basket to prepare for another throw.

But at this moment, Green suddenly appeared in his path.

"boom!"

Two people collided.

Walker was caught off guard, and the size difference was too big, so he was knocked straight to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle to signal Green's defensive foul.

Walker lay there for a while before getting up.

At this time, Butler finally couldn't help it, rushed up and pushed Green, and then punched Green in the head.

Green, who was often walking by the river, reacted quickly and ducked his head. Butler punched him in the chest, almost knocking him out.

The referee belatedly separated the two men.

After Green regained his breath, he became furious, but unfortunately he was already pulled away, so he received a punch in vain.

There was a conflict on the court and the game entered a technical timeout.

Butler's action of rushing forward just now when returning to defense on the spot drew boos from the scene.

However, on the hotline, fans have already pulled Green and Silver out for a round.

Earlier, when Tang Tian was in good condition, he poked Tang Tian in the eyes. Now, when Walker is in good condition, he is attacking Walker. Green is really shameless and deserves a beating!

And Xiao Hua is undoubtedly the biggest accomplice. Not only does he condone it, he may also secretly allow the referee to use his power.

This is simply a waste of the feelings of these fans!

The referee gave the final penalty after watching the video replay.

Butler was found guilty of second-degree malice and was directly ejected.

There were cheers at the scene.

When Butler left the field, Green reached out and applauded.

Apparently, his approach worked.

Use little tricks to mess with you, piss you off, and then drive you away like this.

This method was not invented by Green, but he is the most comfortable in using it.

Now Tang Tian is not sure whether he can play, Butler has been expelled again, and only Walker and Davis are left. The Warriors can win no matter how they play!

Stevens returned to the bench shaking his head after his protest was futile.

The Pelicans players were sitting or standing, and most of their expressions showed helplessness and confusion.

This is the first time they have encountered this situation.

Tang Tian and Butler are not only the two strongest on the Pelicans, but also the two with the strongest mental attributes.

Walker called the players together at this time and tried to boost the team's morale.

This worked to some extent, but not entirely.

After all, the Warriors are not soft persimmons, and it will be difficult to win just by relying on them.

And what's even worse is that if Green keeps doing this, even if they can gain momentum, they will probably become the third victim.

For the first time this season, there is a dark cloud hanging over the heads of the Pelicans.

The timeout was coming soon, and Stevens took the tactical board and prepared to make tactical deployment.

No matter what, let’s finish the round after returning from the timeout first.

Just when he picked up the tactical board, there was a commotion from the players' tunnel.

The cameras at the scene also turned that way.

After a while, the stadium was filled with excitement.

The Pelicans players turned their heads and looked over when they heard the sound.

After seeing clearly, their originally confused and frustrated eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by infinite fighting spirit.

Tang Tian is back!

At the entrance of the players tunnel, he was chatting with Butler!

If it were at home, the fans would definitely be cheering at this moment.

But even in the away game, there was a lot of applause and cheers.

After all, Tang Tian is the number one player in the league. Even Warriors fans were moved by this scene.

This scene is comparable to Yao Ming's Return of the King!

Fans on the hotline have also exploded. When the Pelicans are at their most desperate, their core and boss is back!

On the Warriors side, Thompson looked bright and saw that Tang Tian was not a big problem, and he, as a brother, was relieved.

Curry also smiled. Although he was an opponent, he respected Tang Tian very much.

Cole and Green both frowned unconsciously.

With Tang Tian back, Butler's expulsion is not so important.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Tang Tian's current strength, his combat power is expected to be half that of the Pelicans.

Other Warriors players also looked worried, and they clearly knew it.

"Stay focused, we still have to keep chasing points!"

Cole called the stunned team members together at this time.

Even if Tang Tian comes back, his eyes will definitely be affected.

The first player in NBA history who cannot make a basket will not be as difficult to defend as the previous one.

Tang Tian and Butler hugged one last time and then walked back to the bench.

The Pelicans players cheered, and Walker and Davis even went up to greet him.

Tang Tian touched their heads with one hand and then looked at the Pelican players.

"I'm back and we're going to win."

He didn't say much, but he spoke loudly and was more useful than any other reassurance.

At this time, Stevens noticed that Tang Tian's left eye was covered with bloodshot eyes, and it seemed that he had returned after urgent treatment.

"beep!"

At this time, a short whistle came from the sidelines, and the technical timeout time was up.

Players from both sides came on stage one after another.

"Are you OK?"

Before Stevens came on stage, he pulled Tang Tian alone, looked into his eyes and asked.

Tang Tian shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Walker made two free throws, and Curry also made two flagrant foul free throws for the Warriors.

The score difference on the court is still 9 points.

However, the ball rights are exchanged, and the ball belongs to the Warriors.

After Tang Tian returned, the Pelicans' morale was greatly boosted. Although Butler was missing, Siakam, who came on as a replacement, was also a strong defensive player and continued to defend against the Warriors' offense.

At the last moment, Curry suddenly passed to Green, and Green was about to dunk in one move.

But at this moment, Tang Tian, ​​who had switched defenses, jumped into the air, faced his shot, and concentrated all his strength on his right hand to block the shot.

Green did not avoid it.

"boom!"

Tang Tian slapped the basketball directly, and the basketball hit Green's face.

Green's whole body received a huge impact, and he fell to the ground like a wild goose on a flat sand.

This time he failed to control his landing posture, and his waist hit the floor. After landing, he lay there wailing and did not move for a long time.

After seeing this, Cole quickly called the team doctor to the court and ran to the technical stage to yell.

Curry immediately went up to ask about Green's situation.

Thompson was also there, but he didn't go up.

And when Green gritted his teeth and was helped off the field by the team doctor, he still couldn't help but say something.

“Basketball is a confrontational sport.”
