Chapter 1158 70+! Tang Tian Broke His Personal Single-Game Scoring Record!

The goal was sudden and would have killed the game if it had been scored.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The ball spun toward the basket.

The trajectory of the ball is very positive.

The force of the ball is just right.

This is a goal that will most likely be scored!

"Bang!"

But tonight's basket really didn't give the Pelicans face. The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced high.

Tang Tian's winning three-pointer was missed!

This has nothing to do with personal ability, it's just that the Pelicans are unlucky tonight!

There was an uproar.

There were about 20 seconds left before the end of the game. The missed goal gave the Rockets a chance to win!

But at the critical moment, Harrell made a contribution.

Harrell has made great progress in the past two years with the Pelicans, but because he is short as an inside line, Stevens cannot let him start.

But Harrell can surprise him every time he's on the court.

At this time, he squeezed Capela away, and then struggled to grab the ball!

A priceless frontcourt board!

He reacted quickly after grabbing the ball, turned around and threw the ball back to Tang Tian on the outside.

Tang Tian caught the ball and shot again.

Same movement, same position.

Harden worked hard to help block shots.

But Tang Tian's three-pointer was a pull-up, and the shot was too fast, so he didn't interfere.

The ball flew through the air and drew an arc. Compared with the last shot, the trajectory of the ball this time was more correct and the force was stronger!

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound, and the basketball hit the net!

Tang Tian's second three-point shot went in!

"beep!"

Moreover, the referee whistled on the sidelines, indicating that Harden violated Tang Tian's shooting cylinder, which was a foul!

This is still a 3+1!

Harden got a key foul in one round, but this time he committed a fatal foul himself!

The decibel level at the scene fell to the bottom a second ago, but suddenly jumped to the top this second.

This ball directly kills the game!

And more importantly, this three-pointer made Tang Tian's personal score reach 72 points!

He tied his personal career single-game scoring record set four years ago!

Now, he has another chance to make a free throw.

If he scores a penalty, he can break this record.

Tang Tian's strength has improved year after year, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks this record.

But no one expected that he would break this record in the first game of the new season!

The scene quickly became quiet.

There is not much suspense about the outcome, but this free throw is crucial.

Tang Tian adjusted his breathing.

"Uh-huh!"

There was no suspense, Tang Tian steadily hit the extra penalty.

73 points!

Tang Tian broke his personal single-game scoring record!

The cheers at the scene erupted instantly and lasted for a long time.

After four years, only senior Pelicans fans can feel the joy of this moment!

They even looked forward to the Rockets having a magic touch to drag the game into overtime, so that they could even look forward to Tang Tian breaking Kobe's 81 points.

But unfortunately, a 6-point lead was enough to kill the game.

Although Capela made up for it and grabbed offensive rebounds, Harden and Paul missed consecutive three-pointers.

The score on the court was finally settled at 114 to 108.

The Pelicans defeated the Rockets at home and won the opening game of the new season!

At the end of the game, ribbons were flying and the fans cheered deafeningly.

A regular season game, but it gave them the feeling of winning the championship again.

The Pelicans players also rushed to Tang Tian and shouted at him.

Tonight is another career night for Tang Tian!

The scoring record of 73 points ranks fourth in NBA history, preceded by Chamberlain (100 points and 78 points) and Kobe Bryant (81 points).

The game has just ended and social media is already abuzz with discussion.

"73 points! The highest score currently in the NBA! Don has taken another step towards greatness!"

"This is when I saw with my own eyes that someone could hit Kobe's 81 points. I really witnessed history!"

"What Shark said during the commentary was so spot on. The departure of Walker and Butler may allow us to witness Tang Biao's scoring season!"

"Yes, Kobe's 81 points and Chamberlain's 100 points. For the first time, I think it's really not impossible!"

"No, you are too optimistic. There are too many external factors in this game. The Pelicans are in a downturn, Davis is injured, and the Rockets' defense is terrible..."

"Yes, Tang is not the kind of scorer who only focuses on scoring. He needs a lot of conditions before he can score like he did today."

"Speaking of which, after this game, the Pelicans' summer operations proved to be terrible. Green was the worst deal Demps made in his career!"

"Yes, I think signing Ariza back is more reliable than getting Green, who is no longer good!"

"What's even more terrible is that Kuzma, who performed well in the preseason, was embarrassed to be used in the regular season, and Brogdon and Dedmon were obviously not as good as last season."

"I still don’t know how Davis’ injury is going. I think it’s going to be really difficult for the Pelicans this season!"

"Feng Shui has changed. It's normal for a dynasty team to disintegrate. It's as strong as the OK team. Didn't they also disintegrate in the first place?"

…

Tang Tian and Stevens attended the post-game press conference together.

Tonight Tang Tian is the focus of all media attention.

With 73 points, he single-handedly turned the tide. This is one of the most classic games in Tang Tian's career so far.

Perhaps only slightly worse than when he led his team to win the championship with 62 points in the third quarter of Game 7.

There are also endless questions about 73 points.

How did you feel after scoring 73 points? Have you ever thought about scoring more points? What are your thoughts on Kobe's 81 points?

However, in addition to these issues, there is another issue that is inevitably mentioned.

The status of Pelicans players.

Despite the departures of Walker and Butler, ESPN ranked the Pelicans third on the strength list.

But after the first game, the Pelicans' entire team's performance was really hard to qualify for this ranking.

After all, Tang Tian can't score 70+ points every night.

The reporter also cited comments fans have used on social media.

The Pelicans slapped ESPN in the face last year, and they will slap ESPN in the face again this year.

But this slap in the face is obviously not a good thing.

"No, one game can't explain anything. I believe in my teammates. They will get back to their form soon."

Tang Tian's answer to this question was simple.

In the opening game, Green and his team felt sluggish, which was completely abnormal.

Although the preseason is not a regular season, Green and others have been feeling very good in six consecutive games.

That was telling, so he had every reason to believe it was just a temporary slump.

In fact, when Tang Tian was being interviewed, Green, Brogdon, and Kuzma were all practicing in the gym.

The Pelicans' fighting spirit is completely fine, and the players don't feel sorry for themselves because of a poor performance in a game.

On the contrary, the downturn in this game inspired them to perform better in the next game.

Tang Tian had already set an example, and now it was their turn to show their performance.

They are not only the defending champions, but also a dynasty team!
