Chapter 937 Report Someone Cheating!
A 9-point margin.
In the Rockets' frontcourt battle, Cousins fought his way through the double-team and put the ball into the basket.
Although the Pelicans' defense was better than in the first half, it can be felt that Cousins is also in better condition than in the first half.
The Pelicans' offense still gave the ball to Tang Tian after halftime.
They implemented Stevens's tactical arrangement in midfield and handed the ball to Tang Tian.
The Rockets double-teamed in advance this time. In addition to Tucker, Harden also immediately came to help defend.
Tang Tian did not force a sudden attack, he signaled Jokic to raise the three-point line.
Tucker thought Tang Tian was going to pick and roll, and loudly reminded Cousins.
However, his judgment was wrong. Tang Tian directly gave the ball to Jokic, and then accelerated to pass through the double team without the ball.
Jokic understood it, and with a flick of Serbia's golden right hand, the ball went straight back to Tang Tian's hands.
This double-team was broken smoothly.
By the time Tucker and Harden reacted, Tang Tian had already rushed to the free throw line.
Cousins was too late to pursue the defense. Tang Tian drove to the basket and easily put the basket up to score two more points, which also caused a foul on Cousins's beater.
The extra penalty was a solid hit, and he scored 5 consecutive points in the second half.
44 to 34!
The score difference reached double digits!
D'Antoni frowned.
In such a high-intensity confrontation, the Pelicans can still play this kind of cooperation.
And the key is that Tang Tian's passing and cutting were too fast, and the Rockets had no time to establish their second line of defense.
This is a historical superstar.
Fortunately, in the next round, Harden hit the iconic mid-range stepback against Tang Tian's defense, narrowing the point difference to single digits again.
Not only Cousins, but Harden is also in better shape than in the first half.
Looking back, Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt again, and Jokic fell directly to the three-point line. The Rockets did not dare to double-team in advance.
Tang Tiansan threatened Tucker and accelerated to an emergency stop at the free throw line.
Tucker thought Tang Tian was going to lean back and push forward hard, but Tang Tian suddenly stopped, turned around, took a big step towards the basket, and easily put the basket up to score.
46 to 36!
Still a 10-point difference!
The cheers at the scene could no longer be stopped. Tang Tian came back in the second half with even more momentum than at the beginning. He had scored 7 points in a row against five people!
"Defend! Defend!"
Such a scoring performance made the fans on the sidelines extremely excited, and the spontaneous cheers were overwhelming.
The Rockets' frontcourt tactics failed, and the ball was finally given to Cousins. Cousins failed to attack the basket, and Jokic grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Pelicans took advantage of the situation to launch a defensive counterattack, and Jokic threw the ball directly to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Paul resisted and did not attack easily. Tucker pursued the defense from behind.
Tang Tian took action against Paul's defense, and Tucker jumped up to block the shot.
However, Tang Tian fully demonstrated his staying power and confrontation. He changed hands in the air to avoid the block, and picked the ball into the basket with his left hand.
Ball, keep going in!
Tang Tian was the same as at the beginning, scoring 9 points in a row!
48 to 36!
The point difference has widened to 12 points!
D'Antoni shook his head helplessly.
Bzdelik choked and coughed next to him.
The Rockets' defense couldn't be any better, but Tang Tian was able to score the ball. This really doesn't make sense!
In the Rockets' frontcourt battle, Paul and Cousins made an emergency stop after the pick-and-roll. This time, he looked back at Tang Tian's defensive position before taking action.
Davis pounced in time, and Paul took a step back.
The arc of the ball is very high.
"Uh-huh!"
The ball landed steadily.
Paul's shots also scored!
Less than three minutes into the second half, Cousins, Harden, and Paul, the Big Three of the Rockets, took turns firing, and they were all in better shape than in the first half.
D'Antoni took a long breath after seeing it.
With the Big Three in such a state, no matter how good Tang Tian is, he can still win the game.
But he wasn't done yet.
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Tian went to the frontcourt and directly faced Tucker's pull-up three-pointer!
crazy!
Tang Tian scored 12 points in a row in the second half!
The score difference was widened to 13 points!
In the first quarter, Tang Tian scored 9 points in a row in the first three minutes and 14 points in one quarter. In the second quarter, his hand dropped to 6 points.
But in the third quarter, he started to be unreasonable!
He cheated!
D'Antoni angrily slapped Bzdelik on the thigh next to him.
He wants to report it!
Someone is cheating on the other side!
Bzdelik grinned in pain. D'Antoni is almost 70 years old, but he is still so strong!
And the key is, why are you slapping my thigh?
However, Tang Tian scored consecutively, and he, the first assistant coach responsible for the team's defense, felt a little guilty. He frowned and endured the pain... and moved his legs to the other side.
Harden wanted to step forward at the critical moment, but Tang Tian put a lot of defensive pressure on him, and his step-back three-pointer missed the basket.
The Big Three of the Rockets were in excellent form in the second half, but it was still difficult to score consecutively like Tang Tian.
There was a hand-to-hand battle between Jokic and Cousins under the basket, and Davis flew to grab the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans took a position in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian held the ball and rushed in.
The Rockets were not just BOX-1 at this time, but the entire team swarmed towards Tang Tian.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs, Tang Tian scored 12 points in a row, and now he is just a big piece of fat in their eyes.
But Tang Tian is not Kobe. He has a hot touch but not a hot head. With a lob, the ball passed over the heads of the Rockets players and went directly to the basket.
Davis caught the ball and jumped up, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands!
53 to 38!
The score difference comes to 15 points!
There is a price to pay for double-teaming Tang Tian!
D'Antoni reached out and called a timeout.
Tang Tian is in such good shape that if he keeps playing like this, let alone the Big Three, even if you put James and Durant together, you may not be able to do it.
"Godfather! Godfather!"
No one knew who started it, and long-lost cheers erupted.
Tang Tian is no longer Tang Fengxian, he is the godfather in disguise, teaching the opposing Big Three how to play!
The noise at the scene was so loud that D'Antoni had to shout when he was deploying tactics.
After laying out the tactics, he was sweating profusely and wet.
After this game, he felt as if he would rather fight Jordan than compete with Tang Tian, a loser.
After the timeout, Harden took a shot from the outside and caused Holiday to hit. He made all three free throws to stabilize the situation for the Rockets.
But looking back, Tang Tian deceived the defense with a fake fax shot while running, and put the layup with his low hand to score 2 more points!
Cousins received a pass from Paul in the frontcourt and was interfered by Davis for a layup.
Looking back, it was Tang Tian who took a pass from Jokic and made a quick stop to score another goal!
57 to 41!
In less than half a quarter, Tang Tian had already scored 16 points!
D'Antoni rested his chin on his hand and stared blankly at the court, no longer moving his body.
That state seems to be saying, I just quietly watch you pretending to be cool.
What a jerk!
