Chapter 906 Four Pairs! ! (Second Update!)
The Rockets also did a good job defending on the court, guarding the Pelicans for almost 24 seconds.
Tang Tian didn't receive the ball, and Jokic finally made a three-pointer from the top of the arc against Cousins' defense.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced high, but it didn't go in!
The Rockets' opportunity is here!
Cousins turned around to collect the defensive rebound.
But at this moment, a figure flew directly over his head like a magic weapon from the sky, and smashed the ball towards the basket through him!
It's Tang Tian!
It was too late for Cousins to block, and it was too late to hide!
"Bang!"
In everyone's disbelieving eyes, the ball... dunked away.
The referee's whistle sounded, signaling the Rockets' possession of the ball.
Tang Tian failed to make up the ball!
After Tang Tian landed, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His ability to dunk is still poor. After all, there is Cousins underneath. Standing still is enough to affect him.
It seems that once you have saved up enough krypton gold, you have to exchange it for a wave of Carter's UFOs, and then the probability of success of this kind of ball smash will be high.
The fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a burst of cheers.
Some people didn't react, but most people saw the data printed on the large LED screen.
Tang Tian, 32 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 steals!
Before this attack, he stole Harden and got his 5th steal in a single quarter and his 10th steal in a single game!
Although the make-up dunk just now was not scored, there was an offensive rebound!
In other words, he completed a quadruple-double!
He became the second person after Oscar Robertson to complete a quadruple-double in steals!
Moreover, he scored 30+ steals and had a quadruple-double!
This is the only one in history!
"It's unbelievable, it happened right in front of my eyes, literally right in front of my eyes!"
Although the game ended in more than a minute, Brin, who was in the commentary box, could no longer contain his excitement and his voice trembled when he spoke.
Breen is one of the oldest commentators in the NBA. He has been in the basketball commentary industry since 1985.
Robertson's quadruple-double in steals occurred in 1986, but unfortunately he was working as an NCAA commentator at the time and was unable to witness it.
Olajuwon in 1990 and David Robinson in 1994 also did not happen in front of him, because he did not start to contact the NBA until 1996 when he began to serve as an MSG TV commentator.
He thought he would never be able to witness such a miracle again, but now the miracle really happened before his eyes.
That kind of surprise and joy came from the depths of his soul, and he seemed to be twenty years younger in an instant.
Miller on the side also forgot about what he said that the Rockets would win. At this moment, the words starting with F and S popped out of his mouth continuously.
For a basketball legend like him, a quadruple-double is a stat that is almost impossible to achieve even if you want to, and now Tang Tian has done it in front of him.
Only McGrady was leaning against the commentary chair and laughing.
"I said it, I said it!"
After laughing, he turned to look at Brin and Miller and said.
His sixth sense before the game is quite effective!
The commentator in the commentary box was shocked, the fans at the scene were excited, and the fans on social media were even more excited.
Long before this, the last time they played Tang Tian's 30 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 8 steals on the LED screen, they were already counting.
One steal caused a wave of discussion, and another steal made everyone stare at the rebound.
Originally, they thought they needed the Pelicans' forwards to help Tang Tian successfully get his tenth rebound.
But Tang Tian has already completed it himself!
"Great moment, great game, great player! The best player in NBA basketball!"
"Tang's physical distribution was really perfect in this game. He integrated offense and defense. He is the god of basketball!"
"This is why we love Don. He always brings surprises to us. This is a quadruple-double! The only one currently in service!"
"I think the definition of a superstar should be offense and defense. Curry and Harden don't have to be responsible for the team's defense. They have more physical strength on the offensive end. They are still far behind from the real superstars!"
"I agree with this view. Jordan, Kobe, Duncan, including the current LeBron and Don are all such players. Leonard also has the potential in this area. They are the real superstars!"
"I am now looking forward to Tang being able to bring us five pairs one day in the future!"
"All NBA record holders are trembling, no one knows who will become the next 'victim'!"
"Robertson and Kobe both said that we don't have many records for you to break!"
…
When Tang Tian's quadruple-double record was played on the large LED screen at the scene, almost everyone's focus was on this.
But only the players on the field didn't notice, their attention was still on the game.
During the Rockets' offense, Harden continuously moved around the pick-and-roll, but Tang Tian always followed him closely and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.
Harden wanted to scold his mother, Tang Tian went too far tonight!
Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Paul forced a three-pointer against Holiday's defense.
The ball hit the front of the basket, but rolled around and went in again!
The scene burst into cheers.
This three-pointer is crucial. With 50 seconds and a 3-point difference, the Rockets still have a chance to win!
Of course, the premise is that they can prevent the Pelicans' next wave of offense.
Stevens reached out and called a timeout.
The timeout was called very timely. As soon as the Pelicans players came off the court, Stevens quickly arranged tactics with a tactical board.
The five people who were going to play all listened with rapt attention.
At this time, in another section of the court, the Rockets players who were off the court received a reminder from their players and already knew about Tang Tian's quadruple-double.
They have become the background, and they are huge and fast.
"Guys, let's win this game!"
After D'Antoni laid out the tactics, Paul called his teammates together.
Now that the background board is ready, let’s make it a little different!
If they can win tonight's game, Tang Tian will become the loser's quadruple-double, which will greatly reduce the gold content. This is the only thing they can do now.
Paul didn't understand what he said, but the Rockets players already understood.
After the timeout, Holiday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Tang Tian, then motioned for his teammates to pull away.
Stevens was not ambiguous about this kind of key ball arrangement, just give the ball to Tang Tian.
After Tang Tian got the ball, he accelerated directly and broke through.
Harden and Morris double-teamed directly from both sides, completely opening up the two bottom corners.
The Rockets' defensive thinking is very clear. They would rather let the rest of the Pelicans shoot than give Tang Tian an easy shot.
Tang Tian did not choose to pass the ball, and the Pelicans' touch was not very good in the second half of the fourth quarter. At this time, he chose to believe in himself.
He accelerated with all his strength to throw Morris away, and quickly turned and leaned back toward the baseline.
Harden and Tucker both jumped out to block the shot, and their four arms intertwined to form a net.
"Snapped!"
Harden's hand also hit Tang Tian's arm.
However, Tang Tian still completed the shot, and the ball flew over the heads of the two people and flew towards the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball hit the net!
