Chapter 656: 50+ Points in a Playoff Game! (Fourth Update!)

This hunch was also fulfilled at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Ginobili continued his excellent touch in this series. In the opening minute of the fourth quarter, he hit two consecutive three-pointers, including a large three-pointer with one step outside the three-point line.

This time Williams' timeout was timely.

It's not that he suddenly realized or changed his coaching style, but because of Ginobili's two three-pointers, the point difference on the court has reached 18 points.

Trailing by 18 points in a single quarter, this is already a game where the result can be announced directly most of the time.

Sure enough, after Williams called a timeout, the ATT Arena was already boiling.

Many fans held up the logo, got up and shook their bodies.

Now they can think about how to play the Warriors in the next round!

Even Popovich, who has always been cautious, did not stand on the sidelines after setting up the tactics, but sat back on the bench, and even hammered his old waist.

NBA coaches are not only mental work, but also physical exertion.

After he sat down, he turned his head and glanced at Tang Tian who was substituted in the next half after only a minute's rest.

Tang Tian scored 36 points in three quarters in this game, and he couldn't be asked to do better.

But the NBA is very cruel, there are winners and losers, next year Tang Tian may be able to take the team even further.

Speaking of Holt's previous interview, he was almost pissed off. As a veteran of tainted milk, he knows the power of tainted milk.

But Holt poisoned himself with poison, and the result was that the Spurs lost the last game.

Fortunately, time has weakened the toxicity, and this game will finally be won.

18 points, 11 minutes, the opponent Spurs, it is impossible to complete such a reversal.

"Shua!"

But as soon as the timeout came back, Tang Tian received a pass from Davis and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

At this moment, some fans noticed the lineup of the Pelicans.

Davis, Aminu, Ariza, Tang Tian, ​​Gordon.

It's a very different rotation than the Pelicans usually do.

Not only are there three starters in this lineup, but this is also a lineup of one big, four small, or even five small.

This lineup was used by the Pelicans when they played against the Grizzlies in the first round, and it worked wonders.

In desperation, the Pelicans took it out again.

Dior stormed Aminu under the basket, turned around and made a layup.

"Snapped!"

Davis assisted in the defense and slapped the nail plate directly.

The Pelicans counterattacked directly, and Davis threw the backcourt leader to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian speeded up and threw away Belinelli, rushed to the frontcourt and flew to score.

Can be deducted, but not necessary.

Williams replaced him in advance, and he has to be ready to play for the remaining 11 minutes. He must make the most of every bit of physical energy.

Popovich stood up and directly signaled Leonard and Green to play.

The 18-point difference seemed huge, but as soon as the Pelicans hit this wave of 5-0 offensive, there were only 13 points in a blink of an eye.

Green and Leonard came on for Mills and Belinelli.

Diaw responded at the free throw line, and gave Green, who ran out of the tactical opportunity, a three-pointer.

"Boom!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop.

In fact, after entering the second half, the overall feel of the Spurs was not very good.

Otherwise, the Pelicans scored 13 points in a single quarter, and they would have spent the game long ago.

Tang Tian turned around to receive the long rebound, and after a low-body dribble changed direction, he accelerated and rushed forward.

Leonard's weakness in defending Tang Tian was revealed.

After Tang Tian started it in one step, he left him behind.

Without the tactical defense bonus like positional warfare, Leonard can't defend Tang Tian alone.

Tang Tian rushed from the three-point line to halftime, like a wild horse that had run wild, and the road ahead was flat.

Another easy pick.

He scored 7 points in an instant, helping the Pelicans directly narrow the point difference to 11 points!

Popovich called a timeout.

He pressed Tang Tian for a whole section, and now that Tang Tian was going to run away again, he had to press him again.

After the timeout, the Spurs obviously began to press the rhythm, and the hammer tactics did not take a shot until the last few seconds.

Diaw got an open three-pointer at the top of the key.

But the touch became their enemy again. Diaw's three-pointer was obviously short, and it hit the front of the basket and popped out.

Davis has quick eyesight and long arms and grabs the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans played another fast break. Gordon, who received the ball, rushed to the frontcourt from the backcourt and knocked the ball to Tang Tian who followed up.

Tang Tian faced Ginobili and scored the ball, and even caused the latter's thugs!

After landing neatly, Ginobili shook his head helplessly, looked at Tang Tian again, and couldn't help but sigh.

He became stronger only when he was bald, why did Tang Tian become so strong without becoming bald?

Of course, this was just a thought that flashed in his mind, and his expression was still very serious.

Tang Tian scored this goal, and the point difference on the court was only 9 points, and if Tang Tian scored with an extra penalty, it would be 8 points!

Popovich called another timeout!

Called two timeouts within one minute!

The Big Three of TNT in the commentary booth complained loudly, but the fans at the scene were still calm. They knew that the coach was Popovich.

It would be unusual for other coaches to do this kind of manipulation, but with Popovich, they are used to it.

"Suppress the rhythm, understand what I mean? What kind of bullshit three-pointer, will it hit the inside? Will the success rate be hit?!"

Popovich cursed, and the difference of 18 points was 9 points in a blink of an eye, like a boiled duck suddenly flew away.

Although there are seven games in the series, the next game is at the Pelicans' home court. They are the ones who lose this game and are at a disadvantage in the series!

And he reacted quickly, and he also saw that the advantage of the Pelicans' five-small lineup lies in defensive counterattacks.

As long as the Spurs increase their success rate, they can still stabilize the situation.

After the timeout, the Spurs replaced all the starters.

Tang Tian made a steady hit with an extra penalty, and the difference between the two sides was only 8 points.

Parker broke into the inside with the ball in the frontcourt, avoided Davis' block and scored a goal.

The Spurs finally broke the scoring drought and opened the point difference to double digits again.

Popovich's rage still works.

But looking back at the positional battle, Tang Tian took advantage of Davis' pick-and-roll to cover Leonard's defensive three-pointer before making a shot.

Leonard's interference with this ball was not small, and Tang Tian's throw was a bit short.

The ball hit the front of the rim.

But after knocking it, I still climbed in!

7 points difference!

"Are you kidding me? Tang Tian! He scored all 13 points of the Pelicans in this quarter, God!"

O'Neill couldn't help shouting in the commentary booth at this time.

This time Barkley and Smith didn't laugh at him, because Tang Tian's performance so far in the fourth quarter was really incredible.

This continuous scoring explosion is even more exaggerated than the second game of the series.

However, the effect of the Spurs' consecutive timeouts was very good. Duncan taught the children under the basket and ate Davis with his footsteps.

The difference between the two sides is still 9 points.

Tang Tian ran without the ball, caught the ball and stormed the basket, causing Gasol's thugs.

He goes to the free throw line.

The first free throw was hit steadily.

At this moment, Tang Tian's game data was displayed on the large LED screen at the scene.

17 of 31 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 12 of 12 free throws, 50 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Tang Tian scored 50+ in a playoff game for the first time in his career!

Someone raised Whiteside's question. I don't think it's strange. The protagonist is not a god. It must be the best to find someone. People have personalities. If you don't know much about Whiteside, you can look at the reality, Whiteside How is Seid in the Heat now? As for why he was looking for him at the beginning, it is very simple. There is no other better candidate. It is impossible for the Pelicans to let the fat Jokic play the starting center at the beginning of the season. Whiteside is the best He is also stronger than other centers that can be found in the summer, and he really helped the Pelicans greatly improve their record in the regular season. This is the effect. In fact, I have seen many people say that the protagonist is too smooth. , Isn’t it just not going well, and you can question it, it’s really annoying, because it not only affects me but also affects the emotions of other readers
